In the spring of the eighth year of Jian'an, that is, in 203 AD, Liu Biao invited Liu Bei to a banquet in Guiyang, and secretly deployed hundreds of people, intending to assassinate Liu Bei. www.biquge.info Liu Bei knew that he was cheating, but he could only go hard.

Liu Bei ordered Mi Zhu, Jian Yong and others to lead 5,000 elite soldiers to ambush in a hidden place outside the city, and let Sun Qian and Mi Fang lead the remaining 5,000 people to take place in Cangwu.

Cangwu is remote and has a large number of ethnic minorities; But it is precisely because of this that Liu Bei was also able to use his benevolent name to implement a policy of gentleness towards ethnic minorities and win over many people.

Sha Moke, the leader of the Wuxi barbarians, Huang Chao, the general of Shanyue, and others were taken care of by Liu Bei, who went by letter and presented gold leaf, hoping that they would send troops to help. The two readily agreed, one to march to Wuling, and the other to Changsha; If Liu Bei takes Lingling and Guiyang in one go, he will include the entire Jingnan in his bag.

All this was Pang Tong's strategy, he knew that after Liu Biao's death, Jingzhou would inevitably be in chaos; There are many factions in Jingzhou to descend to Cao, and when Jingzhou falls into the hands of Cao Cao, Liu Bei will no longer have any power to turn over, so he can only act vigorously and take the four counties of Jingnan in one go.

When everything was ready, Liu Bei took Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, and Pang Tong, and led fifty soldiers to Guiyang for a banquet.

However, he said that Liu Biao's side, because he could not draw too many manpower, and the heavy troops were all in Jiangxia and Xinye, he could only let Wen Ping lead a thousand men and horses to ambush not far from the city, and asked Kuai Yue and Cai Mao to prepare 500 swords and axes in the banquet, wanting to take advantage of Liu Bei's sluggishness to kill him in the court.

If Liu Bei's subordinate Guan Zhang Zhao still had one person alive, Liu Biao would not dare to be so arrogant; With only 500 swords and axes, is it the opponent of those 10,000 enemies?

Not long after, someone came with news: "Liu Bei is outside the city, there are only a few generals, and there are fifty foot soldiers, I don't know how to care?" ”

"Liu Bei actually brought someone here...... Looks like you're still on guard! Liu Biao sighed.

But if he knew that Liu Bei was going to oppose the guest at this Hongmen banquet and take Jingnan in one go, he was afraid that he would be shocked by the big teeth.

Kuai Yue said: "Although Liu Bei is only fifty foot soldiers, it is enough to hinder us; The lord should order Liu Bei to bring only his cronies inside, and leave the fifty people outside the city to standby. ”

"No! If this is the case, I am afraid that Liu Bei will be worried and unwilling to enter the city. Cai Mao said, "It's better to let Wang Wei and others set up a feast and order Liu Bei's foot soldiers to be entertained, which can not only make Liu Bei feel relieved, but also make that foot soldier unable to protect Liu Bei!" ”

"That's a good plan!"

Everything was carried out according to Cai Mao's strategy, and just in case, they also set up a secret door in the hall, and if they failed to assassinate Liu Bei, they would escape from the secret door.

Liu Biao's chief bookkeeper is known to be Liu Bei Xianming, and those who can appease the ethnic minorities in Cangwu must be capable; Now that he learned that Liu Biao wanted to kill Liu Bei, he intended to save him.

After Liu Bei entered the city, he saw Liu Biao arrange his entourage to another banquet, knowing that Liu Biao intended to weaken his strength, so he asked Pang Tong, who replied: "It's okay, I pinch my fingers today, and there will be nobles to help the lord!" ”

Liu Bei was apprehensive, but he could only do so, so he took Pang Tong and the three of them into the main hall and met Liu Biao. The two of them are like brothers, and they ask for warmth; If there was an Oscar winner in ancient times, I am afraid that everyone in this world can get one.

Hypocrisy is the most basic talent of these people, and it is also the most needed talent to dominate the world.

Liu Bei and Liu Biao have finished seeing each other, so they each sat down, Pang Tong, Zhou Cang, and Liao Hua each sat down, although they were not far from Liu Bei, but it was difficult to rescue them in time, and the situation was quite critical.

Shi Zhu Yi said: "Lord, Xuande is a guest of one party, and there should be someone to accompany him to drink; In the next talent, I am willing to work on behalf of the lord. ”

Liu Biao Zhuzhi, Yi Zhi sat next to Liu Bei, everyone drank freely, the wine was half drunk, Liu Bei suddenly heard Yi Zhi whispered: "Liu Jingzhou intends to frame Xuande Gong, and I hope that Xuande Gong will escape Guiyang in the name of changing clothes!" ”

Liu Bei was surprised, it turned out that the noble person Pang Tong said was this Iraqi nationality. But now that Liu Biao intends to kill himself, how can he tolerate his change of clothes, so he asked: "Liu Biao intends to frame him, how can he be allowed to escape?" What is the best way to do it, sir? ”

Yi said: "Now there are fifty axe men behind the scenes, and there are hundreds of people in ambush outside the palace, but I am afraid that it will be difficult for the general to escape; For today's plan, the only way to save Xuandegong's life can only be achieved by letting the general's subordinates follow Xiang Zhuang's sword dance and plot to assassinate Liu Biao! ”

Liu Bei was shocked, and said in his heart that this person was under Liu Biao's command, why could he say such a big rebellious statement? I wanted to reprimand, but I thought that now that people are swordsmen, how can I allow myself to be presumptuous, so I pretended to be drunk, got up and said angrily: "If this person drinks very badly, don't want to drink with me!" Find someone with me who drinks well! ”

When everyone saw this, they thought that Liu Bei was drunk, and they all laughed, but Yi Ji understood what Liu Bei meant, got up and said: "Uncle Huang is angry, he is not drinking well, and I hope Uncle Huang will not blame...... General Cai Mao, Your Excellency has a very good amount of alcohol, why don't you have a drink with Uncle Huang? ”

Cai Mao was stunned, but thought that sitting next to Liu Bei would be the perfect opportunity to assassinate Liu Bei, so he nodded and agreed, got up and said with a smile: "Uncle Huang, I'm here to have a drink with you!" ”

Liao Hua and Zhou Cang all thought that Liu Bei was drunk, and when they saw that Yi Ji and Cai Mao were "complicit", they thought that this was a ploy, so they glared angrily, so frightened that Cai Mao did not dare to step forward; Pang Tong on the side knew what Liu Bei meant, and smiled at the two: "You two are shocked, General Cai intends to accompany the wine, how can you refuse?" ”

When the two heard this, they just gave up, Cai Mao broke out in a cold sweat and staggered to Liu Bei's front; The corners of Liu Bei's mouth were slightly upturned, and he hurriedly pulled Cai Mao into a seat, so frightened that Cai Mao stumbled, and knelt directly on the ground, and everyone laughed heartily, disapprovingly.

"Damn, this damn Liu Bei, I'll make you look good later!"

Cai Mao lost face in front of everyone, and secretly hated in her heart, but she was pulled by Liu Bei and poured wine, and she couldn't help but feel a little drunk. Cai Mao suddenly felt that Liu Bei was very close to him, and it was an excellent opportunity to attack, so he took out the dagger on his waist and wanted to kill Liu Bei

But who knew that Liu Bei had already taken precautions, and when he saw Cai Mao about to move, he secretly hammered Cai Mao in the abdomen with a heavy fist; Cai Mao suddenly bent down, Liu Bei snatched the dagger, only one knife, and before Cai Mao could struggle, he was killed.

However, the banquet was very joyful, and no one noticed Cai Mao's death, but when he saw him fall down, he thought he was drunk, so he didn't care and continued to drink.

But this is also because Cai Mao was killed, the dagger was still in the chest, and the blood did not flow out; Liu Bei knew that he couldn't wait any longer, so he pretended to be drunk, drew his sword and danced: "Brother Jingsheng, is it a Hongmen banquet today?" ”

Kuai Yue saw Liu Bei get up suddenly, and actually asked such a question, thinking that he was really drunk (normal people would not ask if this was a Hongmen banquet), and hurriedly said: "Where did the imperial uncle say, my lord thought about the imperial uncle, so he set up the feast." ”

"In this case, do you dare to let Xiang Zhuang dance the sword?"

Seeing this, Kuai Yue said secretly: "What kind of drama is this Liu Bei playing?" If you are really drunk, it is a good opportunity to start, but if you hurt the lord, I am afraid that it will not be good......"

Everyone thought that acting, big and small, Zhang Yun, the general under Liu Biao, suddenly got up and said: "Uncle Huang has this leisure, I should accompany him; Since there is Xiang Zhuang in the banquet, how can there be no Xiang Bo? Although Yun is not talented, he is willing to have fun with the emperor's uncle. ”

The two danced their swords during this banquet, although Zhang Yun was a general under Liu Biao, but Liu Bei had been on the battlefield for a long time, and his experience was much more experienced than him. This Zhang Yun also meant to take Liu Bei's life, but whenever the blade of the sword pointed at Liu Bei's life, it was easily resolved by Liu Bei.

Pang Tong broke out in a cold sweat when he saw all this, you must know that this was Liu Bei's own idea, he had never taught it; If there is really anything to lose, it will be a total loss!

The two danced swords, applauding each other, but Zhang Yun was in a cold sweat; He can see it now, where is this Liu Bei drunk? It's clearly pretending to be drunk! Otherwise, how could this drunken man walk thirty times under his own hands?

Zhang Yun's eyes changed suddenly, and a long thorn walked over, wanting to take Liu Bei's life; But he didn't know that Liu Bei had already unknowingly arrived in front of Liu Biao. Zhang Yun was in an impetuous mood, but he didn't notice this; The long stab passed, but it was dodged by Liu Bei and stabbed at Liu Biao.

Liu Biaozheng watched the rise, how did he know that there would be such a play? couldn't avoid it, was stabbed in the abdomen by Zhang Yun with a sword, and collapsed to the ground; Seeing this, Liu Bei knew that as soon as the time came, he flew forward and shouted, "Xiang Boxiu go!" Only one stab in Liu Biao's heart resulted in his life.

Everyone was shocked when they saw this, but they didn't come to their senses for a while; Liu Bei walked up to the high platform and pointed his sword at the sky: "Liu Biao wants to murder me, but I have been killed, if you still resist, you will come to fight!" ”

The commander of the knife and axe hand was Cai Mao, Cai Mao was killed, no one instructed him, only Kuai Yue reacted quickly, and hurriedly ordered: "Liu Bei rebels, and the generals will quickly kill him!" ”

The knife and axe behind the scenes came out, and Liu Bei took the opportunity to kill Kuai Yue with one sword, and there was no appearance of convincing people with virtue at all. Everyone in the banquet was in chaos, and Zhou Cang and Liao Hua were desperately trying to protect Liu Bei and Pang Tong, and they fought and retreated, walking towards the outside of the city.

Liu Biao and the rest of the people all fled from the secret passage.

Hundreds of swords and axes came from outside the temple, and the danger was very high; At this time, Yi Yuan hurriedly brought fifty people brought by Liu Bei to protect the lord.

The two sides were in the middle of a battle, but they heard the slogan at the gate of the city, and it was Wen Ping who learned that Liu Biao was killed by Liu Bei from the fleeing civil official, and broke the city to kill Liu Bei, but he didn't expect that Liu Beijun who was ambushed outside the city behind him, was deceived into opening the city gate, and fled in defeat. Mi Zhu and Jian Yong led the army to rescue Liu Bei and occupied Guiyang in one go.

At this point, Liu Biao died, and the Jingzhou faction was divided into two families, one wanted to establish Liu Qi and the other wanted to establish Liu Cong, and the stalemate gave Liu Bei an opportunity.

Liu Bei immediately ordered to occupy the remaining three counties in Jingnan!
