Jingzhou, Jiangxia.

Sun Quan suffered heavy losses, more than half of his troops were lost, and two captain-level officers were lost, but Liu Bei's casualties were very few, and Sun Quan was also a little worried about Liu Bei compared to him, and now his morale was low and he couldn't fight anymore, so he was ruthless to collect the property of Jiangxia County and returned to Dongwu together, you must know that Sun Quan was originally ready to swallow Jingzhou in one fell swoop.

When it was determined that Sun Quan's army had withdrawn from Jiangxia County, Huang Zu was overjoyed, so he once again led the army to approach Jiangxia, and Liu Biao recovered the lost territory, so as to save some of his face as General Huang.

On that day, Hu Che'er returned to Jiangxia from Xiangyang and brought back a shocking news.

Cai Mao actually wanted to hold a grand welcome ceremony for Liu Bei, and a messenger would come from Xiangyang soon, inviting Liu Bei to return to Xiangyang to participate in the grand event.

Sure enough, on the second day after Hu Che'er returned to Jiangxia, the messenger came to Jiangxia with Liu Biao's handwritten letter.

"Uncle Liuhuang!"

The little official clasped his hands into fists and bowed to Liu Bei respectfully: "On the order of Lord Zhoumu, I have come to invite Uncle Huang to return to Xiangyang to participate in the acceptance ceremony." ”

Liu Bei returned the salute and said cordially: "Dare to ask your envoy, what is the purpose of this acceptance ceremony, and I can arrange the itinerary in the future." ”

The little official patted his head and couldn't help but exclaim: "Alas! How can I forget the most important thing, the acceptance ceremony is set for the morning three days later, when all the civil and military officials of Xiangyang will come to participate in the acceptance ceremony of the imperial uncle. ”

The corners of Liu Bei's mouth rose slightly, and he smiled: "Thank you, envoy, please rest early after a long journey." ”

The little official clenched his fists in return, and when he was about to turn around and leave, he looked back and said, "Uncle Huang! The Metropolitan Governor had specially instructed Zai to tell the imperial uncle that he must first ensure the safety of Jiangxia, and then he must come to participate in the ceremony, which can be postponed for a few days, but there is only one in Jiangxia County. ”

Liu Bei waved again: "Thank you for reminding you." ”

Originally, Liu Bei was a little suspicious of Cai Mao's abnormal behavior, but now Cai Mao deliberately put forward such a seemingly very reasonable and justifiable reason, but it made Liu Bei suddenly nervous in his heart.

After having a general understanding of the form of Jingzhou, Tian Feng and Tian Feng had a general understanding of the form of Jingzhou. The two of them were happy about this acceptance ceremony, after all, after such a ceremony, Liu Bei was legally existing in Jingzhou, and he also had a fixed identity. There will be an essential increase in popularity, which does save a lot of effort.

However, when the two of them learned of Cai Mao's unusual behavior, they unanimously opposed Liu Bei's participation in this ceremony, because it was obvious that it was a Hongmen banquet. It was a trap set by Cai Mao. They can't trade the comfort of their own lord for an easy way to gain a foothold, and the price is too great.

How could Liu Bei not understand the danger in this, after careful consideration, he finally decided that he couldn't avoid this trip to the troubled waters, if he forcibly avoided it, he would offend many people, and Cai Mao would be even more crazy to deal with himself.

"I called you here today to explain a few things to you."

Liu Bei sat on the top and looked around at the civil and military forces below, as soon as this remark came out, Tian Feng and Fu Zhi immediately knew Liu Bei's decision, Tian Feng was a straight man. He stood up and said, "Lord! This trip to Xiangyang is full of crises, and in my opinion, I still have to find a reason to shirk it. ”

Liu Bei waved his hand: "Yuan Hao!" It's a blessing or a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided. I have already decided, so you don't have to persuade you. ”

The words of the two immediately shocked Zhang Fei in the hall, jumped out, and shouted: "What's wrong!?" Cai Mao, that bald donkey wants to kill my brother!? He dares! With my brother under my protection, Mr. Tian can rest assured. ”

"Even though the three generals are strong in martial arts, they are easy to dodge with open guns. Hidden arrows are difficult to prevent, everything should be based on the main public security first, if you can't go, try not to go, I can spend more time slowly gaining a foothold in Jingzhou. Don't have to take such a big risk. ”

Tian Feng sighed, there was a faint sadness in his eyebrows, and his words were a little insufficient, because he knew that Liu Bei's move was a real shortcut.

"Don't worry about Yuan Hao, he can't hurt me with his little Cai Mao, you can rest assured."

Liu Bei appeased. Then he ordered everyone: "Zilong, Yide!" Although Sun Quan left Jiangxia, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not come back, and the training of the Jiangbian defense and non-commissioned officers requires a little effort for the two of you, and you should not be underestimated. ”

Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei hugged their fists in response, and immediately stood on one side.

"Yuan Hao, Gong and! If we have a firm foothold in Jiangxia, the soldiers that General Huang Zu has supplemented us must do a good job in their political and ideological work, and try our best to knead them into a whole and become a real family. ”

Frustrated, Tian Feng bowed his hand: "Obey the order." ”

"Uncle Zhi! I have a secret mission for you here, so be sure to do your best. ”

Liu Bei said, took out a bag from his arms, handed it to Chen Dao, and instructed: "Remember, this matter is top secret." ”

Chen nodded and reached out to take the bag and hid it in his arms.

"This Xiangyang acceptance ceremony, Yun Chang and I went together, everything during my absence was arranged by Yuan Hao, Yuan Hao's order is my order."

"This" Tian Feng was a little shocked.

Liu Bei's eyes were like torches, staring at Tian Feng: "What's the matter, Yuan Hao!?" Are there any difficulties? ”

"I still have little seniority, and I'm afraid I won't be able to convince the public." Tian Feng directly said his difficulties.

"Yuan Hao! Don't you have any worries, with your ability to help Yuan Shao stabilize the north, I don't think anyone here will dare to disobey you, and this matter is my personal promise, if you don't respect Yuan Hao's order, then it means disobedience.

You can rest assured that you can do it boldly, and besides, there is Gong and you to assist you, presumably there will be no major events in Jiangxia within three months, and when I return to Jiangxia, Yuan Hao will be able to give the next surprise. ”

Liu Bei smiled lightly and gave Tian Feng the greatest affirmation. It was also this faint smile that made Tian Feng more unswervingly believe that Liu Beifang was the lord he had been looking for, and this was the manifestation of knowing people and being good at their duties.

Tian Feng was very moved, and bowed down: "The lord knows the grace of the encounter, and there is nothing to repay him, so he has to cooperate with the lord in a new way." ”

"That's right!" Liu Bei was very indifferent.

*****************

In the early morning of the next day, the rooster crowed at dawn, Liu Bei and Guan Yu packed up, and rode towards Xiangyang alone.

Riding a horse for half a day, Guan Yu's red rabbit horse was fine, but at this time, the war horse under Liu Bei's crotch had reached the limit, and he had to stop and rest.

In the dense forest, the sun shines through the leaves, spilling into the forest, there is always a feeling of being in nature, and the murmuring stream is the best place to wash your face and relieve fatigue.

Liu Bei came to the creek, leaned down, touched his face, the feeling of being cool was very enjoyable, making a scoop shape with his hands, and drinking a sip of mountain spring was even more refreshing.

Guan Yu came over the war horse, tied it to a tree, and prepared to come to Liu Bei.

Suddenly, a silver light flashed in front of him, Guan Yu was stunned at first, but then an arrow stepped forward, and with a bang, the sword was unsheathed, and he shot down the thief who fell from the sky impartially.

A stream of blood spurted out and splashed on Liu Bei's face.

"Where did the thief come from, he dared to assassinate the Emperor of the Han Dynasty!" Guan Yu raised the sword in his hand and said indignantly.

Sou! Sou! Sou!

Counting the figures flashed from the forest, followed by Guan Yu and Liu Bei, there were a group of swordsmen around them, and above the towering trees above them, there was a group of assassins waiting for them.

Such a formation can be regarded as giving Liu Bei enough face.

Guan Yu protected in front of Liu Bei, staring at the gang of thieves in front of him, and asked, "Who are you waiting for, is it for wealth or for people?" ”

"Take people's money and eliminate disasters for others, you who I am waiting for here are so miserable." Immediately followed by a deep voice, a big man flashed out of the thieves: "Red-faced man, you are good, as long as you can take refuge in me and kill the big-eared thief, I will ensure that you will be prosperous and rich for a lifetime, and enjoy inexhaustible." ”

"Whew!"

Guan Yu directly refused: "A few miscellaneous hairs, they dare to be wild in front of the general, if they have the ability, they will do it, don't talk nonsense!" ”

Liu Bei, who was behind him, let out a contemptuous laugh, came to Guan Yu, and said, "Did Cai Mao buy you guys?" How much did he give you? ”

"Cai Mao!?"

The big man pretended to be stupid and said, "I don't know, but your kid is quite valuable, and the buyer spends a lot of money to buy your head." ”

"Oh!? Is it? ”

Liu Bei was contemptuous at first, and suddenly his words changed: "The daughter will let you come and send you to death!?" You're so cheap. ”

Guan Yufeng's eyes widened, and he said fiercely: "Boy! I promise, you're going to die a terrible death! ”

"Yo he! When death is dying, he is still hard-mouthed! The leader laughed wildly, then waved his sword and shouted, "Brothers! Give it to me, slaughter this big-eared thief! ”

Dozens of figures rushed out behind the leader of the bandits, rushing towards Liu Guan and the others, swords and swords, at this moment, there was no doubt, under the strong pressure accompanied by shouts, it seemed that it was very endangered.

Guan Yu laughed cruelly: "Although there are many rats, what are they afraid of!" ”

A sword light flashed, Guan Yu took the initiative to attack, leaped forward, the long sword pierced through the armor, followed by a move of the golden goose in the air, and a few more souls under the sword.

Guan Yu's speed of taking out the sword was very fast, and his pace was even more elegant, and he slashed in one move, and five people had died under the sword within three steps.

Liu Bei followed behind Guan Yu, holding dual swords, and no one could stop him from slashing left and killing right.

"Cloud Chief! Keep that bandit leader for me, and I'm going to chop him alive. Liu Bei's eyes showed a trace of killing intent, this killing intent went straight to the bandit leader, Liu Bei hadn't been so angry for a long time.

Guan Yu sneered: "Big brother! Follow me and watch me fight my way out! ”

Guan Yu, the enemy of 10,000 people, really didn't boast about it, his swordsmanship was exquisite, and his swordsmanship was also first-class, and the thieves couldn't help Guan Yu at all, so they were torn open by him and killed the thief and bandit. (To be continued.) )
