Chapter 185: Xiangyang Fengyun (15)
Indeed, with Liu Bei's force, he has never been afraid of anyone in Jingzhou.
In particular, Liu Biao has always been so weak, anyone can beat Liu Biao without the slightest strength to fight back, almost let Sun Ce, who was still a child at the time, lead the army to cry and call his mother, if it weren't for Sun Cejun's grain and grass, if it wasn't for Yuan Shu's broken promise and not waving the army to help the war, Liu Biao would have been killed long ago.
Sometimes, it is difficult to judge the abilities of some people, but in terms of force, it can be easily determined. Because whoever is strong and who is weak, you only need to have played one game to know.
Liu Bei naturally didn't all the generals under Liu Biao's account have tried with them, and he doesn't know which of them is stronger and who is weak, but this can also be found from all aspects to know how powerful Liu Biao's generals are.
Therefore, Liu Bei, who was a great achievement, thought that he could completely crush the generals in Jingzhou. Liu Biao wanted to kill him, he could run away at any time, and he believed that no one could stop him.
However, now Liu Bei was frightened, and the generals under Cao Cao's account suddenly appeared to attack him, how could he escape without taking the road?
However, Liu Bei, who has already stabbed the hornet's nest, is in Xiangyang City, where does he want to escape?
His elite soldiers didn't stop Xiahoudun, Xu Huang and others for long, it was only a moment's effort.
Of course, under normal circumstances, just this moment of effort may allow Liu Bei to escape. But now, he really seems to have lost his wings.
Because, Liu's cousin soldiers sent by Cai Mao. has already killed Liu Bei's mansion, and the military horses like a tide have besieged his mansion.
Xiahoudun's one-eyed eyes are easy to identify. With just one glance, Liu Bei could confirm who it was. However, compared to others, he Liu Bei is also easy to identify, there is no way, the title of big-eared thief is not blown out. It's Liu Bei, he really has a pair of big ears that are much bigger than ordinary people, and he has long hands and feet. From a distance, people knew that it was Liu Bei who came.
If Liu Bei's mansion had not been surrounded by Liu's cousin soldiers sent by Cai Mao, Liu Bei might still have a glimmer of life, as long as he escaped from Liu Bei's mansion. Xiangyang City is so big. Wherever Liu Bei hid, he might be able to escape this catastrophe.
However, the current situation really makes Liu Bei have no escape, not to mention, it is still broad daylight, if Liu Bei is not so anxious, at least wait until the evening for him to kill Liu Biao. Then Xiahoudun and others came to chase and kill him at night, and he still had a little chance of being able to escape.
But Liu Bei himself can't wait. He was afraid that he would wait until the evening to kill Liu Biao, so that Cai Mao would have a buffer of time all night, in order to avoid a long night of dreams, he originally wanted to take Jingzhou from Liu Biao today.
"Liu Bei! It's Liu Bei, the big-eared thief, to return my lord's life! ”
Liu Biao's personal soldiers, as soon as they saw Liu Bei, they were really red-eyed, and as soon as they saw Liu Bei fleeing from the mansion in a hurry, the soldiers on the street shouted loudly.
The shouts of the soldiers pointed out the direction to Xiahoudun and Xu Huang, who were chasing after them.
"Liu Beixiu is gone! Come on! ”
Xiahou flew to kill and took Liu Bei directly.
"Liu Biao was not killed by me Liu Bei, don't be fooled! The one who chased me behind me was Cao Cao's general Xiahoudun! Defeat him! Liu Bei saw that there was an interception in front and a chasing soldier in the back, and he couldn't get out for a while, so he hurriedly shouted loudly, wanting to confuse the public.
However, who will listen to him Liu Bei now, no matter what, they all want to take Liu Bei down first.
At this time, Liu Biao was already dead, and the soldiers who were really loyal to Liu Biao were all a little red-eyed.
At this life-and-death juncture, Liu Bei also showed his martial bravery, holding the male and female double-stranded swords in both hands, dancing a sword shadow, like a windmill, directly rushed into the crowd of soldiers, for a while, those soldiers didn't seem to expect that Liu Bei would be so brave, and he was killed by Liu Bei.
Xiahoudun and Xu Huang, who were chasing behind, were always dozens of steps away from Liu Bei, and they couldn't catch up for a while.
From Liu's Mansion to the Long Street, Liu Bei has already tried his best. In fact, Liu Bei was still guarded by many personal soldiers, otherwise, Liu Bei would have been killed by the chaotic soldiers in the Jingzhou soldiers who were constantly killed.
Seeing that Liu Bei couldn't escape, a group of men and horses suddenly came out, and suddenly dispersed the Jingzhou soldiers who surrounded and killed Liu Bei, and at the same time stopped Xiahoudun and other pursuers behind.
It turned out that Chen Zhi led the army to kill.
Although Liu Bei's military horses have not been able to drive into Xiangyang on a large scale, during his time in Xiangyang, he has quietly sent many military horses into the city to lurk. In total, there are thousands of elite soldiers.
Now, Liu Bei was attacked and killed, and Chen Zhi hurriedly led the lurking military horses to rescue Liu Bei.
Chen Zhi is under Liu Bei's account, and naturally he is not as famous as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but in fact, Chen Zhi's martial arts are really not bad at all, even if he is not as good as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but he can be regarded as a first-class master, especially when fighting on foot.
Having Chen Zhi to protect him in secret can also be regarded as another guarantee for Liu Bei, which also makes Liu Bei feel more at ease to act in Xiangyang.
"Xiahoudun! Hugh wants to hurt my lord! ”
Chen Zhi raised his knife and stopped Xiahoudun.
Xiahoudun didn't know Chen Dao, and when he saw that his identity was revealed, he was also a little angry.
You must know that before coming to Xiangyang, Cao Cao also told them not to reveal their identities as much as possible when assisting Cai Mao in assassinating Liu Bei. Because the news that Liu Bei was killed by them spread out, Cao Cao didn't want to subdue Guan Yu and Zhang Fei again. At that time, he Cao Cao will become the undying enemy of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
However, when Xiahoudun was dispatched, even Cao Cao didn't realize it for a while, and Xiahoudun's one-eyed eye had already revealed his identity.
"Oops...... Nameless, get out of the way! Xiahoudun directly killed Chen Zhi with a spear.
Bite!
With a crisp sound, Xiahou Tang angrily speared and actually let Chen Zhi block it head-on.
"Huh? Under Liu Bei's account, except for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. How could there be such a brave man? Xiahoudun was shocked.
"A certain is Uncle Liu's general Chen Dao, who wants to kill Uncle Liu? Pass me Chen to this level first! Chen pointed at Xiahou and said.
"Humph! Act recklessly. Kill! ”
Xiahoudun was naturally not afraid and fought with spears.
"Kill! Everyone listened to the order, and according to the orders of the lord Liu Biao, it was necessary to kill Liu Bei, who can kill Liu Bei, there will be a heavy reward, a thousand gold! ”
Xu Huang, who was one step behind. Seeing that Xiahoudun was caught by the enemy, he had an idea and shouted loudly.
Military horses on both sides. Scuffles together.
Xu Huang originally wanted to chase and kill the soldiers who were protecting Liu Bei alone, but after thinking about it, he suddenly swung an axe and killed the battle group of Xiahoudun and Chen Zhi.
Chen Zhi was a little inferior to Xiahoudun after all, he had been sunk by Xiahoudun's strength. A spear is faster than a spear, and the attack is so difficult that it can't be parried. Suddenly, Xu Huang entered, making Chen Zhikong exposed. The simple knife in his hand could no longer parry Xiahoudun's spear.
Burst!
The spear pierced directly into Chen's chest, almost piercing through his body.
"Die!"
"Ahh
Xiahoudun's spear was raised, Chen Zhi was raised high, and he threw it into the air.
"Chen arrives!"
Liu Bei saw it from a distance, and his eyes were cracked.
Chen Zhi is his most confident general, and now Liu Bei's cronies Chen Zhi is even more than Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. But at this moment......
"The lord is running away from ......"
With a bang, Chen Zhi fell into the chaos of the soldiers. He shouted heartbreakingly, and in the blink of an eye, he was drowned in the crowd of soldiers.
Fortunately, the soldiers sent by Cai Mao to surround Liu Bei's mansion also arrived in a hurry, and the encirclement was not tight, so Liu Bei found a flaw and killed the encirclement.
However, he still couldn't get rid of Xiahoudun and Xu Huang, who were chasing after him.
As soon as they fled and chased, the entire Xiangyang City was in chaos, and there were shouts of soldiers everywhere.
In Liu Biao's recuperation palace, Cai Mao arrived first, but before he could go in to inspect Liu Biao's body, he had not had time to investigate the cause of Liu Biao's death.
Huang Zu led thousands of cavalry to arrive like the wind.
"Cai Mao! Good work you do! ”
As soon as Huang Zu arrived, he rushed forward murderously, pulled Cai Mao's collar, glared at Cai Mao angrily and asked, "What is going on?" How do you protect your lordship? It's okay this morning, why did the lord die suddenly? ”
"Huang Zu! What do you mean? The lord died suddenly, and I, Cai Mao, rushed here as soon as I heard the news, is it possible, do you think I will harm the lord? "Cai Mao Buzi weakened his momentum in front of Huang Zu, because once people preconceived that Liu Biao's death was inseparable from him Cai Mao, then it would be really difficult for him to say clearly in the future.
Therefore, even if Cai Mao has the heart to kill Liu Biao, but now Liu Biao's death really has nothing to do with him, which makes him a little justified.
"Humph! The people who protect the lord are all your Cai Mao's people, and now that the lord has an accident, you come to tell me that you don't know? Huang Zu snorted coldly and said: "If I let Huang know that the death of the lord is inseparable from your Cai Mao, then even if I am crushed to pieces, I will take your Cai Mao's life!" ”
"Well said! If my brother-in-law's death is related to my Cai Mao, I Cai Mao will be willing to be disposed of by your Huang Zu! Cai Mao pushed away Huang Zu, who was grabbing his collar, and said sharply: "I suspect that the death of the lord must have something to do with Liu Bei, and now, I have ordered the lord's personal soldiers to go and catch Liu Bei." Therefore, what is the reason for the death of the lord, there will always be a day when it will be revealed. However, now, Xiangyang still needs you and me to work together to stabilize the situation, and someone has already been sent to protect the lord's young son, so I think you have already sent someone to go, right? You now immediately order your subordinates, together with my men, to escort the young master here, and we will take care of other things. ”
"Do you still need to say it? I, Huang, sent someone there as soon as possible. Where is the lord now? ”
"The body of the lord is inside, I have ordered someone to guard it strictly, a certain has just arrived, well, let's go in and have a look together, and investigate why the lord died, so as not to be misunderstood!" Cai Mao said.
Huang Zu didn't say a word, turned his head and ignored Cai Mao, and strode in.
Of course, there was also a hula behind to keep up with a group of soldiers, and at this time, everyone had to be on guard.
Liu Biao is still the same as when he fell to the ground on his back, with a pair of eyes wide open, and he didn't bat at him.
Before Liu Biao died, the maids present had already been accused, and at this moment, they were brought in.
"What the hell is going on? How did the lord die? Recruit me from the truth, if there is anything to hide. Destroy your nine clans! Huang Zu swept those maids viciously.
Several maids who were already trembling with fright were all sobbing in horror when they were so frightened by Huang Zu.
"Say!" Cai Mao also shouted.
"Yes, that's ......"
These maids. intermittently told Liu Biao's situation before his death, including Su Xi and Lu Ling, two doctors and doctors close to Liu Biao's cronies, who came to deliver medicine.
After listening to the words of these maids, Cai Mao and Huang Zu immediately thought that there was a problem with the two doctors and doctors, and that there was a problem with the medicine they gave Liu Biao.
The medicine jar is still at the scene, and there are still a lot of medicine residues.
The two generals immediately ordered someone to summon a doctor, and found that Susie and Lu Ling were missing.
They ordered these doctors to check what kind of medicine Liu Biao was given. Look at Liu Biao's corpse again.
The results can be quickly determined that Liu Biao actually died of severe poison.
"Damn, it must be the two doctors Susie and Lu Ling who poisoned the lord!" Huang Zu was really angry. roared: "Come on, even if the whole city is turned over, I have to find these two damn poison doctors for me, I must kill them with one sword!" ”
"And you Cai Mao! You are responsible for the safety of your lord. How can you let these two poison doctors come in and poison the lord? Huang Zu pointed at Cai Mao and asked.
"Enough!" Cai Mao's heart was on fire when she heard this. He also pointed at Huang Zu and shouted: "Huang Zu! I respect you as a person, and I know that you are angry at the moment, but is it better for me Cai Mao to feel better? You know, the lord is my Cai Mao's brother-in-law, in terms of relationship, my Cai Mou's relationship with the lord is closer, and I want to be angry. It's also me Cai Mao! ”
"Uh, two generals......"
This time. One of the other doctors with pale faces said with a frightened expression: "Two generals, at this moment, please don't blame each other. You may not know that Susie and Lu Ling have always been close to the lord, they are deeply liked by the lord, and they can go in and out of the lord's palace at will. It's hard for me to see my lord...... Please, please ask the two generals to see that the lord has been poisoned, and ...... with us."
"Oh? When did Susie and Lu Ling become so close to the lord? Well, if that's the case, they're trusted by the lord, but why should they poison the lord? Cai Mao really didn't know that Liu Biao was so close to the two doctors.
"Someone must have masterminded the North, otherwise, what reason do they have to poison the lord?" Huang Zu didn't care about those relationships, he just wanted to find out the real black hand who killed Liu Biao as soon as possible.
Needless to say, Huang Zu would not think that the two doctors and doctors for no reason would kill Liu Biao, there must be someone instigating this.
"Someone! Go arrest someone for me, before the sun sets, I want to see Susie and Lu Ling! Cai Mao ordered.
At this moment, Cai Mao really didn't want Huang Zu to misunderstand that he killed Liu Biao, because he wanted to control Jingzhou, and he couldn't do without Huang Zu's support. Therefore, in the matter of investigating the cause of Liu Biao's death, he had to take the initiative to win some favor from Huang Zu.
After sending people out to arrest Su Xi and Lu Ling, Cai Mao said to Huang Zu, who was still angry: "General Huang Zu, at the moment, the most important thing is to protect the young master, and the most important thing is to catch Liu Bei." In the future, to assist the young master in governing Jingzhou, we have to ask General Huang for your help, otherwise, our Jingzhou will be finished. Especially now, no matter whether the lord has gone or not, and no matter what happened in our Xiangyang City, the safety of Xiangyang City, I have to ask General Huang to worry a lot. As long as our city defense army is not chaotic, there will not be much problem in Jingzhou. Also, after the young master arrives later, we have to inform the outside that the lord of Jingzhou will be succeeded by the young master. With the joint support of you and me, tomorrow, all Jingzhou civil and military personnel will go to the palace to meet our new lord of Jingzhou, and a formal succession ceremony will be held on the next day, which will implement the matter of the lord of Jingzhou. In this way, Jingzhou will always belong to our lord, and no one will want to take it away. What do you think of this arrangement? ”
"Hmmm......"
After hearing this, Huang Zu felt that the current situation was the only way to arrange it, he nodded slightly, and added: "What I am most worried about is the situation on the front line, once the news of our lord's death reaches the military camps of Jiaxia and Anzhong, I am afraid that it will cause panic in our army." Therefore, I think we have to quickly inform Wang Wei, Wen Ping and other generals of the death of the lord, Pegasus, so that they don't need to panic on the front line. ”
"Yes, yes, not only can we not mess up in Xiangyang, but we can't mess up on the front line."
……
"Report! The young master brought ......"
"Report! General Cai, Liu Bei escaped......"
……
"Father...... Woohoo......"
Several reports came in a row, and then, a teenager broke in crying, and suddenly pounced on Liu Biao's corpse and cried loudly.
This son is somewhat similar to Liu Biao's appearance, but his elegance has not been taken off.
But Cai Mao couldn't take care of Liu Cong now, he walked quickly to the gate of the palace and asked, "What's the matter?" How did Liu Bei escape? ”
"Report! Liu Bei was extremely cunning, and he himself was extremely brave, he escaped from his mansion, and then fled to the street, he was already surrounded by our people, but suddenly killed a group of men and horses, and rescued Liu Bei. However, it is not yet completely escaped, and it is still being pursued by our people. ”
"I see, I thought Liu Bei had escaped, and the order was given, no matter what, Liu Bei must be killed." Cai Mao ordered: "By the way, General Huang Zu, this Liu Bei is actually a bit difficult, please be careful with your city defenders, you must not let Liu Bei escape." At present, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei will quickly lead the army back to Xiangyang, if Liu Bei is allowed to join Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, then we will not be good. ”
"Report ......"
At this time, another urgent report came. (To be continued......)
