Really no one thought that Liu Biao would die like this, without any warning, and all of a sudden, Cai Mao was caught off guard.

Liu Biao and Liu Bei, in Cai Mao's plan, Liu Bei should have died first, and then it was Liu Biao's turn, but now, Liu Biao died so suddenly.

At this moment, Cai Mao couldn't care about finding out how Liu Biao died, he wanted to take advantage of the fact that he still had Liu Biao's order to kill Liu Bei, and quickly asked Xiahoudun and Xu Huang to take action and kill Liu Bei.

Cai Mao knew that if it was too late, let Liu Beike take control of Jingzhou, then he would be done.

The situation was urgent, Xiahoudun and Xu Huang hurriedly flew into Liu Bei's mansion.

When Cai Mao waited for Xiahoudun and Xu Huang to lead people to kill Liu Bei, he immediately sent someone to inform Huang Zu, and at the same time sent someone to protect Liu Biao and his sister Cai's son Liu Cong, and ordered someone to escort Liu Cong to Liu Biao's palace to recuperate. Of course, he also hurried to Liu Biao's recuperation palace.

Cai Mao knows that at this moment, every qiē must be fast, and whoever can protect Liu Cong first will have the right to speak.

In Xiangyang City, the news of Liu Biao's sudden death was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and the entire Xiangyang City shook at once.

Huang Zu had already learned the news of Liu Biao's death before Cai Mao was notified, and he was also shocked and angry. However, he didn't have much ambition, he didn't think about becoming the lord of Jingzhou, and now, the first thing he considered was how to stabilize the situation in Xiangyang, and how to let Liu Biao's son Shun lì succeed to the throne of Jingzhou.

Here, it has to be said. Huang Zu was indeed fiercely loyal to Liu Biao, even if Liu Biao died, he was the first to think about how to ensure that the inheritance left by Liu Biao could fall into the hands of Liu Biao's son.

Liu Biao has two sons. Among them, his eldest son Liu Qi is in Jiangxia. Now, the son of Liu Biao in Xiangyang City is only Liu Cong.

For Huang Zu, although he and Cai Mao are both the right-hand men that Liu Biao relies on, but. In some ideas, the two are still a little different. For now, though. The difference is not too big, because although Liu Biao likes his second son a little more, he has never clearly established who is Liu Biao's heir. In private, Huang Zu had a little relationship with Liu Biao's eldest son Liu Qi. If you let Huang Zu choose. He may choose Liu Qi, who is closer to him, as the lord of Jingzhou. But now, Huang Zu has no choice, Liu Biao's eldest son Liu Qi is in Jiangxia, Jiangxia is already under the control of the New Han Army, life and death are unknown, he can only choose to protect Liu Biao's second son Liu Cong now.

Inside and outside the city of Xiangyang, Liu Biaojun had 200,000 or 300,000 horses. The garrison in Xiangyang City is actually 100,000 Jingzhou troops. Huang Zu happened to take over the 100,000 Xiangyang defenders earlier. Now. As soon as he could, he ordered the whole army of 100,000 to go out, first blockading the entire city of Xiangyang and prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving.

He had the same idea as Cai Mao, while sending people to protect Liu Biao's son, he personally led a cavalry to Liu Biao's recuperation palace.

Liu Biao's death was too sudden, Huang Zu felt that there must be a problem here, he had to figure it out, see what the problem was, if there was a problem, he had to avenge Liu Biao.

Liu Biao's subordinates were all panicked when they learned the news of Liu Biao's death. Of course, what really panicked was the part that was really loyal to Liu Biao, and the other part, even if they didn't know in advance that Liu Bei would kill Liu Biao, they were also a little excited, thinking that their decision to join Liu Bei was right.

Especially the Kuai brothers, they already knew this result, after they led Jingzhou Wenwu to Liu Biao to recuperate and march to the palace, they have always been in a state of mind of fear and plunder. Because they also clearly understand that at this time, they can only hope that Liu Bei can end Liu Biao's life as much as possible, and only when Liu Biao dies can their Kuai family be truly safe. Otherwise, their fate is really not alike.

Of course, although the Kuai brothers were a little happy to get the news that Liu Biao had died, they did not get dazed. Because they knew that Liu Biao had sent Cai Mao and Huang Zu back to Xiangyang, but he had never told him, they could have thought that Xiangyang at this moment was probably in the hands of Cai Mao and Huang Zu. If they had made any changes at the moment, they would have died much faster.

Originally, at this moment, they could contact a group of former ministers of Liu Biao who were close to them, and go together to compete for Liu Biao's son Liu Cong, as long as Liu Cong was controlled in their hands, they would have an extra layer of protection. However, they thought that now they only have their own soldiers and generals, why should they compete with Cai Mao and Huang Zu for the control of Liu Cong? Now, after Liu Biao's death, they can escape this turmoil and chaos. As for who will be in power in Jingzhou in the end, they don't care too much. Whether it is Liu Bei, Cai Mao, or Huang Zu, the Kuai brothers all believe that without Liu Biao, none of them dare to really do anything to his Kuai family. Although the Kuai brothers did not directly control the military power of Jingzhou, many of the leading generals in the Jingzhou army were their people.

Even among the 100,000 Xiangyang City Defense Army commanded by Huang Zu now, there are military generals who listen to their brothers. Therefore, even if Cai Mao wants to deal with their Kuai family, they have something to rely on.

However, many Jingzhou civil and military officers who did not know the inside story, those who threw themselves into Liu Bei, they hurried to see Liu Bei, ready to join Liu Bei and want to seize the power of Jingzhou by taking advantage of the situation.

Just when Cai Mao and Huang Zu rushed to Liu Biao's recuperation palace from two directions, Xiahoudun and Xu Huang had already led a group of people who had been disguised and dressed all the way to Liu Bei's mansion.

At this moment, Xiahoudun, Xu Huang and others, there are about dozens of masters, and there are also elite soldiers sent by Cai Mao to assist, a total of about hundreds of people.

Originally, they planned to use Liu Biao's order to kill Liu Bei, but at this moment, Liu Biao was dead, and this secret could not be concealed, so when Xiahoudun and Xu Huang killed Liu Bei's mansion, they did not immediately say that they had been ordered by Liu Biao to kill Liu Bei.

Xiahoudun and Xu Huang are not the kind of generals who don't have a little resourcefulness. They knew that it would be more convincing to kill Liu Bei under another pretext at this moment.

Wearing the armor of Liu Biao's elite soldiers, Xiahoudun directly stopped some Jingzhou civil and military officers who had just arrived at Liu Bei's mansion and were about to join Liu Bei. Then he said loudly: "Liu Bei sent someone to assassinate our lord, intending to seize Jingzhou, we are the lord's guards, and we were ordered by the lord to kill Liu Bei to avenge the lord, why did you gather in front of Liu Bei's mansion?" Everyone knelt down to listen to Hou Fa Luo, if there was the slightest change. No mercy! ”

"Liu Bei should be in the house, all the soldiers, rush in for me. Capture Liu Bei alive and avenge our lord! Kill! ”

Xu Huang held a big axe in his hand, stepped forward, and slashed down with an axe. The gate of Liu Bei's mansion. was split apart by Xu Huang's axe.

"Kill!"

A group of generals rushed into Liu Bei's mansion like a tide.

Those Jingzhou civil and military who rushed to meet Liu Bei, they didn't expect that Liu Biao's personal soldiers would move so quickly, nor did they expect that they would be so direct, they would directly use force against Liu Bei.

At this juncture. No matter how much you say, it's useless, no matter how Liu Bei plans. How to win over, even if you get more civil and military support from Jingzhou, it is useless. When others are determined to get rid of him, they can only speak with strength.

From beginning to end, these Jingzhou civil and military forces were used by all parties, and they died at the moment, and they didn't understand why this was happening. I don't understand why there is bloodshed.

Of course, Liu Bei was also prepared, and what he was most worried about was that after Liu Biao's death, the Jingzhou army, regardless of Xiangyang's stability, did not hesitate to move troops. Therefore, he had already ambushed more than a thousand of the most elite white-eared soldiers in his own mansion.

Liu Bei also knew very well that in Jingzhou, no matter how turbulent the situation was, he could only save his own life, so that he could eventually become the winner. As long as he dodges this wave of attacks, he can mobilize his men and horses to fight for Liu Cong, the son of Liu Biao. Only by holding Liu Biao's son, Liu Cong, in his hands could he get the opportunity to talk to the people of the various factions in Xiangyang. As long as everyone can talk, then he may become the lord of Jingzhou.

At the very least, if everyone sits down and talks, he will be supported by many Xiangyang scholars. When the time comes, he can officially take control of Jingzhou.

As for those who are not too obedient to him, it doesn't matter too much, as long as he can hold on to the arrival of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, then it will be a foregone conclusion, even if it is Cai Mao, Huang Zu and others, only those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will die!

When Xu Huang took the lead in leading people to rush into Liu Bei's mansion, the battle had already begun.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Buzz Buzz......

Rows of short crossbows, all shot of iron arrows, in a short distance, extremely powerful.

"Ahhh......h

Unexpectedly, Liu Bei had soldiers in ambush in the mansion as early as possible, but dozens of people were killed by crossbow arrows at once.

Xu Huang was almost hit by an arrow, but fortunately he reacted quickly, and a big axe danced impermeable.

"It was a complete misunderstanding! This is a frame-up! ”

Liu Bei's voice sounded in the mansion, and he said loudly: "In the morning, my Liu Bei met with my brother Liu Jingsheng, and there were countless generals and people present, as well as many famous people from Xiangyang. The death of my brother Liu Jingsheng is definitely problematic. Who is that general? Say that I, Liu Bei, have the heart to seize Jingzhou? Haha, this is really ridiculous, this morning, Liu Mou has made it very clear, in front of my brother, I will definitely seek to rob my brother's heart of the foundation. If you are really my brother's guard, then you must first find out how my brother died, rather than killing me Liu Bei in the first place. You know, now my brother's recuperation palace, its safety matters are all in charge of Cai Mao and other generals, under Cai Mao's escort, why did my brother die suddenly? Haven't you thought about that? But instead, I said that I Liu Bei harmed Jingsheng? ”

At this time, if the people who came to attack Liu Bei's mansion were the real Liu Biao's guards, after listening to Liu Bei's words, they might consider whether their lord Liu Biao was really killed by Liu Bei.

However, where are these people who attacked Liu Bei's mansion Liu Biao's guards? They came with the intention of taking Liu Bei's life, how could they be confused by Liu Bei's words?

"Humph! Liu Bei! Today next year will be the day of your death. Hugh has to say more, come out and die, kill! ”

Xiahoudun saw that Liu Bei had already laid an ambush. These were not found out when he came to spy on Liu Bei's mansion last night, which made Xiahoudun feel ashamed, at this moment, where would he listen to Liu Bei more, he just wanted to solve Liu Bei quickly, so as to complete this plan.

Xiahoudun's spear stabbed, and with a snort, a murderous aura shot out. With a bang, several of Liu Bei's personal soldiers who were blocking the front were directly killed by him.

Others follow the spear, and one leaps up and down. crashed into Liu Bei's soldiers.

These elite soldiers of Liu Bei cannot be regarded as the real white-eared soldiers in history, although they are also quite strong now, but. How could they be the enemies of Xiahoudun and Xu Huang?

Two super generals. As soon as they rushed into Liu Bei's soldiers' array, they were like autumn wind sweeping away leaves, as if entering a no-man's land, killing Liu Bei's soldiers with flesh and blood, screaming again and again.

Although Liu Bei had more than 1,000 personal soldiers to protect him, none of them were the generals of Xiahoudun and Xu Huang, plus the soldiers who rushed in with him. Among them, there are dozens of people who are masters, for a time. It was difficult for Liu Bei's personal soldiers to resist, and they were defeated and retreated.

Liu Bei's mansion, after the gate came in, there was a large courtyard, and some of his personal soldiers were arranged between the courtyards, and the other part was guarded in the house.

Because of this, although Liu Bei's own soldiers were more than those who came to attack, there were not too many people who actually engaged.

In fact, in order to kill Liu Bei, Cai Mao sent thousands of elite soldiers to help in addition to the men and horses led by Xiahoudun and Xu Huang, and those were Liu Biao's real elite soldiers. At this moment, the team of people and horses had almost arrived, and they were about to surround the entire Liu Bei Mansion.

In close combat, the soldiers on both sides did not say a word, the bayonets were red, and in the sky, the bows and arrows of both sides were also flying wildly, at this time, it seemed that no one cared about whether they would accidentally injure their own people.

"Liu is dead!"

With a loud bang, Xiahoudun and Xu Huang forcibly broke into the house one after another, directly killing Liu Bei's own soldiers who were blocking them, and scattered and fell.

"What about Liu Bei?!"

Xiahoudun's one-eyed eyes were full of light and murderous.

However, his eyes swept over, but he didn't see Liu Bei, who was still shouting here.

"Not good! Liu Bei is going to escape, kill! We chase! Xu Huang also found that there was no Liu Bei here, so he hurriedly looked at the other side of the house and rushed over.

"Stop them! Kill......"

A group of Liu Bei's personal soldiers also rushed forward frantically at this moment, making the already not too big house space crowded with people at this moment.

However, I saw Xu Huang roaring, and the whole person was like a cow, and he rushed over directly, crashing into the crowd at once, and Liu Bei's personal soldiers staggered, and they were rushed over by him.

In fact, Liu Bei was originally quite negotiated, because these changes in Xiangyang can be said to have been directed by him with one hand and one foot. When he asked Na Susie and Lu Ling to poison Liu Biao, he was getting ready, and when the news of Liu Biao's death came out, he let his people come to protect him. He believes that with his own elite soldiers to protect him, as long as Cai Mao does not mobilize tens of thousands of military horses to attack him, he can be defeated. Even, even if Cai Mao came in person, he was sure to take advantage of the chaos to kill Cai Mao. As long as Cai Mao dies, who else in Jingzhou can preside over the overall situation?

However, when it was really when someone came to attack him, Liu Bei still wanted to incite these people to stop, but he trembled, because he was a little familiar when he heard the shouts of the people who came to attack him. He sneaked a glance inside the house and happened to see Xiahoudun.

Well, Liu Bei and Cao Cao's generals have met each other, but they are not familiar. If they were mixed in with a group of pro-soldiers wearing Liu Biao's uniform armor, Liu Bei would indeed not be recognizable.

However, if you want to blame it, it is that Xiahoudun is a one-eyed general, as soon as he sees people and hears the sound, he immediately recognizes it as Xiahoudun.

The generals under Cao Cao's account, Xiahoudun's martial arts can almost be compared with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. When Liu Bei saw that it was him, he was shocked on the spot.

At this moment, Liu Bei completely lost the calmness he deserved, and he fled as soon as possible.

Well, without Guan Yu and Zhang Fei by his side, who can beat Xiahoudun?

Seeing Xiahoudun, what Jingzhou, what kind of grand causes, what plans and schemes, all of them are useless, Liu Bei only thinks about how to save his life now.

After thousands of calculations, Liu Bei did not calculate that Cao Cao would actually send his big man to Xiangyang.

Because, why did Liu Bei really dare not let Guan Yu and Zhang Fei by his side, and he still dared to make so many movements in Xiangyang? He was in Xudu back then, knowing that Emperor Xian had a good impression of him, and even said that he valued Liu Bei very much, why didn't Liu Bei dare to mess around in Xudu? In the end, you have to take the opportunity to escape in a hurry?

This, that is, even if he is surrounded by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but Cao Cao's account is like a cloud, if Cao Cao really wants his Liu Bei's life, even if he is Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he can't protect him.

However, it is not the same in Jingzhou, Liu Bei's boy skills have been officially promoted to the ranks of first-class masters, looking at the whole Jingzhou, he is really outstanding in Jingzhou, even if he Liu Bei is alone in Xiangyang, with Liu Biao's people, I am afraid that no one can help him. He is in Xiangyang, and if he wants to leave, he will stay, and I am afraid that no one will be able to leave him.

In this way, Liu Bei will be so bold and dare to make trouble in Xiangyang. (To be continued......)
