Chapter 12: Tension
PS: Ask for tickets!!
Cai Mao was angry and said abruptly: "Our Jingzhou army is an army that protects the people, and bandits are bandits who harm the people and harm the people. ”
Liu Biao couldn't help but be silent, bowing his head and muttering for a long time.
Liu Bei in the hall shook his head and laughed, with a look of contempt, and retreated back to his seat without saying a word.
Zhang Yun had long been unaccustomed to Liu Bei's behavior, and shouted angrily: "Liu Bei! What do you mean by that!? ”
Liu Bei glanced at Zhang Yun, his eyes were full of disdain, and he beckoned to the attendant and said, "Please get some water." ”
The attendant bowed slightly and withdrew from the dojo, and after a while, the attendant came with a pot of water in his hand and placed it in front of Liu Bei: "Uncle Huang, your water." ”
Everyone was puzzled, and there was a sigh in the hall.
Liu Bei picked up a bottle of spirits, dipped some water into the wine bottle with his hand, looked around at the civil and military circles, and laughed contemptuously: "Dare to ask if this three-legged bottle is filled with wine or water!?" ”
"What an idiot, of course it's wine!" He smiled at Zhang Yun and said disdainfully.
"Humph! Liu Bei, can a drop of water be mixed into this wine to turn into water? You're really" Another man shook his head, his words full of disdain.
At this time, the son-in-law Liu Qi's face was extremely ugly, his eyebrows were frowned, and there was an extremely embarrassing meaning in his eyebrows, so he gave Liu Bei a look and said softly: "Uncle Huang! Why are you!? ”
At this time, Liu Bei stood up, held the bottle of liquor and looked around, and finally fell on Cai Mao's head, shook it, and said, "General Cai!" Hundreds of thousands of horses and horses in my Jingzhou army are equivalent to this wine, and the mountain bandits are just thousands of people like this water, and a drop of water into the wine is wine, is it possible that all the bandits have entered our Jingzhou army, and more than 100,000 of my Jingzhou army have become bandits!? It's ridiculous. ”
"You" Cai Mao was furious, pointed at Liu Bei in front of him, and couldn't help coughing a few times in one breath.
Liu Bei disagreed. waved his hand to push away Cai Mao's fingers, and said: "If the orange is born in Huainan, it is orange, and if it is born in Huaibei, it is orange, and the leaf disciple is similar." In fact, the taste is different. So what? The water and soil are also different. Under the influence of the heart of our Jingzhou army to protect the people and protect the people, they will change their evil and return to the right path. With such a simple truth, could it be that General Cai doesn't understand? Or is it "
Cai Mao had palpitations. His eyes were on fire, and he pretended to be calm: "Or what!?" ”
The corners of Liu Bei's mouth rose slightly, and he smiled lightly: "There are still other plans." ”
"Ahem!! Ahem"
A wave of anger rushed straight to his heart, Cai Mao covered his chest tightly, bowed his body slightly, and looked up at Liu Bei, his eyes were full of murderous aura.
Followed by Zhang Yun, Cai Zhong and a group of pro-Cai faction people came up one after another, some were busy supporting Cai Mao, and some simply stabbed their swords out of the sheath and stabbed straight at Liu Bei's door.
A gust of wind hit. A cold light suddenly appeared, the blade of the sword flashed in the oblique thorn, and several golden sounds sounded, and several bronze long swords were all broken, flying sideways in all directions.
In the dojo, there was already a person with a tiger palm pressed on the handle of the sword, and Lang Mu was desperate against these soldiers beside Liu Bei, always ready, but there was a trace of danger, and he would definitely draw his sword to help.
Guan Yu's sudden kill. Wei Yan was a little withdrawn, this was not the time to expose himself.
The opposition between fire and water suddenly formed.
"Wait, what's this!?"
Liu Biao, the head of the city, stood up and pointed at the generals in the hall with his fingers, furious. shouted: "Don't hurry up and give me a retreat!" Shame on you! ”
After four or five breaths, the generals in the hall looked at each other, neither daring to step forward, but also retreating.
This is a provocation to Liu Biao's authority!
Crash!
Liu Biao was even more angry, raised his hand and overturned the food table in front of him, pointing at the Chinese martial arts of the hall. shouted: "Stand down!! ”
Cai Yao secretly waved his hand, and the Chinese martial arts returned to their original positions.
At this time, Liu Biao became more and more aware of the seriousness of the problem, judging from the situation just now, Cai Yao's power in Jingzhou has reached a certain point, and seventy percent of the Chinese martial arts have completely surrendered to Cai Yao, except for Liu Bei's force, basically there are not many forces loyal to him in Jingzhou.
Liu Bei was really a little bold, facing such a powerful Cai Mao without the slightest fear, even when the several long swords stabbed at him just now, Liu Bei still did not change his face, his heart did not beat, there was a trace of Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his face did not change, and now Liu Bei has formed a bond with Cai Mao, but it is a force that can be used.
Liu Biao nodded secretly and made up his mind.
"That's it, I heard that there are only more than 700 elite horsemen under the command of the emperor's brother, and this sincerity is not enough. Since this gang of bandits was pacified by the emperor's brother and General Guan, they should be included in the emperor's own troops. ”
While the civil and military forces were surprised, the son Liu Qi hurriedly echoed: "Father is wise. According to the child's opinion, this time the emperor's uncle twice pacified the Sun rebels, and eradicated the Xiangyang bandits with amazing moves. ”
Liu Bei was even more shocked, but immediately understood that their father and son were trying their best to win over themselves, wanting to use their power to balance the Cai family. Although Liu Bei doesn't like to be taken advantage of, but at this time, he is short of soldiers and money, so don't be a fool for nothing.
Cai Mao hurriedly stood up, hugged his fists and said, "Lord! It is already a great favor to allow him to settle in Jingzhou, so there is no need for a daughter."
"Huh!" Liu Biao waved his hand and smiled: "When did the Metropolitan Governor become so stingy, but he was just a daughter, what a word, just give it." ”
Cai Mao was about to speak again, but Liu Bei hurriedly interjected on the side: "Thank you Brother Huang for the gold." ”
*************
The acceptance ceremony is completed.
Xiangyang, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.
Syllable!
Cai Mao sat in front of the bookcase, his sword eyebrows were tightly twisted into an inverted figure, a pair of tiger eyes were round, full of killing intent, and the tiger's paw slammed into the bookcase, and the bookcase shook and made a muffled loud sound, which made the two people standing in the hall tremble.
"What about Cai He!? Where did Cai He go. Cai Mao roared angrily.
There were Zhang Yun and Cai Zhong standing under the hall, Cai Zhong trembled forward and arched his hand: "Brother! Cai and him, he may have led his army to the mountains. ”
"Idiot! Idiot! Who gave him the right to move his forces at will? ”
Cai Mao reprimanded angrily, and then said to Zhang Yun: "You immediately send a fast horse to send an order to Cai He, and ask him to hurry back for me, otherwise the military law will be engaged, and I, Cai Mao, will never show mercy to him because he is my brother!" ”
Zhang Yunyi arched his hand: "The last general will go here." ”
Cai Zhong's body trembled a little, and he didn't dare to speak for a long time: "Big brother, me"
Cai Mao was angry from his heart, pointed to the palace door, and shouted: "Get out!" ”
Cai Zhong knew Cai Mao's temper very well, and immediately hurriedly turned around and fled.
Cai Mao snorted coldly and said in his heart: "Liu Bei! Liu Biao! Liu Qi! Don't be too happy, the battle between us has just begun, as long as Cao Sikong pacifies the northern frontier, it will be the day when I Cai Mao will rise to the top. ”
***************
Xiangyang, the state pastor's house, the inner hall.
"Xuande, you don't have to mind the matter of the dojo today." Liu Biao's eyes were kind and kind.
Liu Bei arched his hand and said indifferently: "What the imperial brother said, how can Bei mind." ”
Liu Qi, the son on the side, sighed and said to Liu Bei: "Uncle Huang! Presumably you also know a little about my Jingzhou, that Cai Mao is very much the governor of Jingzhou, and should have taken on the responsibility of protecting the territory and the people, but who would have thought that this person would be greedy for profit, using the power in his hands to exclude dissidents, at this time almost the entire Jingzhou, although my father was the state pastor of the former emperor, but in fact he has already existed in name only. ”
After that, two lines of tears burst out of his eyes. And Liu Biao sighed and sighed.
Liu Bei suddenly felt that the acting skills of these two people were really high, if he had a full understanding of the history of the Three Kingdoms, it was very likely that he had been moved by the singing and harmony of the two at this time, wasn't it just to win over? Is this necessary?
Liu Bei had already seen through the two of them in his heart, but he still needed to rely on the power of these two people at this time, at least Liu Biao was still of some use at this time, and Cai Mao's strength was not enough to overthrow Liu Biao, otherwise he would definitely bring a disloyal and unrighteous infamy.
Liu Bei arched his hand: "Brother Huang!" With me here, I don't have to worry about Cai Mao, it's just"
Sons Liu Qi and Liu Biao were overjoyed, but they didn't expect Liu Bei to "take the bait" so easily: "What is the difficulty of the emperor's brother!?" Although, Brother Huang, I have nothing to disobey. ”
Liu Bei sighed: "Alas! Presumably, the imperial brother knows that in the first battle of Xuzhou, Bei was already exhausted and dying, and until this time there were only more than 700 soldiers, and the force was extremely weak.
And Cai Mao has been developing his forces in Jingzhou for a long time, and it is conservatively estimated that he has no less than tens of thousands of troops, and it is really difficult to have a chance of winning compared to the tens of thousands of troops with these more than 700 troops.
What's more, Jingzhou is the land of four wars, with Sun Quan in the east, Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu in the west, and Cao Thief in the north. ”
Liu Biao nodded and said, "Xuande's words are very good. So, what is the solution? ”
Everyone was silent for a while, and for a while, the hall was silent, and they were very immersed.
Originally, Liu Bei wanted Liu Qi to say what Xu Tu was going to do, but Liu Qi didn't say anything about it at all, could it be that Liu Qi didn't realize this truth?
As a last resort, Liu Bei arched his hand and said, "Brother Huang! Cai Mao is not terrible, what is terrible is the tens of thousands of troops in his hands, and now the only way is to secretly develop a force, a force strong enough to resist Cai Mao's army. ”
In fact, how could Liu Biao not know about this matter, Jiangxia's Huang Zu was actually a chess piece specially placed by Liu Biao, but many years have passed, Huang Zu's power is still weak, and Cai Mao's power is getting stronger and stronger.
Liu Biao is very worried, will Liu Bei become the second Huang Zu!? Even if Liu Bei didn't become the second Huang Zu, and his strength increased enough to resist Cai Mao, if Liu Bei had two hearts, wouldn't it be more difficult to deal with than Cai Mao!?
Although Liu Biao has no ambitions, Jingzhou is a place that he still doesn't want others to get involved in in his lifetime!
Liu Biao guessed Liu Bei's thoughts, but once again fell into deep thought. (To be continued.) )
