"Good ...... This is the decree of God. What the man said was true! The bartender's voice attracted the attention of everyone in the room.

Someone with a good deed looked at it and said, "Ah, it's true!" ”

"Cai Mao is really going to be the king, or the king of Chu who His Majesty has personally crowned. Tut-tut......"

There was a lot of discussion among them, and some of them even threw out a key question, "But Cai Mao became the king of Chu, what should Liu Jingzhou do?" ”

"yes!" "That's right!" The guests were gossiping again.

The shopkeeper of the inn found that the guests in the lobby were gathered together, thinking that there had been an accident, and hurriedly went forward to check. After learning that the bartender had picked up the holy decree left by the guest, he was shocked. "What am I telling you? You can't pick up things that others have lost, and even if you pick them up, you must return them to the owner as they are. It's good that you not only picked it up, but also watched it! This is a big basket, right? Who is the lost owner, is that an angel, the one who has sinned against you and me? Why don't you go and give it back! ”

As soon as this remark came out, it was immediately opposed by many guests. In this regard, I have to admit that Liu Biao has been operating in Jingzhou for several years and has won a lot of popularity. Therefore, when the guests thought that this holy decree implied a huge threat to Liu Biao, they immediately said that the angel came to Xiangyang and did not live in the inn, and his deeds were secretive, and he must have plotted against Liu Jingzhou. Therefore, not only must the holy decree not be exchanged, but it must also be reported to Liu Jingzhou as soon as possible, so that Liu Jingzhou can prepare in advance.

The shopkeeper couldn't argue with the full number of guests, so he had to watch as everyone snatched the holy decree from his hand and rushed to the Assassin's Mansion. And Tian Chou, the leader of the whole incident, showed a relieved smile after seeing the smooth implementation of the plan, calmly went to the toilet to drink, and once again put on his bags that had not yet been unsealed, and embarked on the road back to the north.

At the same time, after Liu Biao got the holy decree, he was furious. Personally led the armor to the Youtu Inn to arrest the so-called angels.

But at this time, where is there still the shadow of Tian Chou in Xiangyang City, Liu Biao pounced. In a fit of rage, he carried a seven-foot sword back to the mansion and went straight to his back house.

Poor Cai didn't know that the catastrophe was coming until this moment, and greeted Liu Biao with a smile on his face as always, "My lord, I'm back!" ”

Liu Biao didn't even look at Cai's family, and scolded with his head and face, "Traitor! ”

"Who do you say is a traitor?" Cai's heart was weak for a while.

"Your whole family!" After speaking, Liu Biao directly threw the holy decree in Cai's face, "You deceived me so hard!" ”

Cai read through the decree from beginning to end, and suddenly felt that his legs collapsed to the ground, "This ......"

"What else do you have to say?" Liu Biao asked.

Cai's square inch was lost, his eyes rolled wildly, and he thought about it, "My lord! We're here for your good! His Luan Ziqi is huge, and my brother and I are afraid that he will burn the flames of war to my Jingzhou one day, and it will be difficult for adults to be enemies. That's when I got in touch with him. We're leaving a way out for adults! ”

"Tell the truth!" Liu Biao kicked Cai's over, "I think you are leaving a way back for yourself!" King of Chu...... Hmph, if there is no me, can you have your Cai family today? Now it's running over my head and, I don't know what to do! Rebellion comes. After finishing speaking, Liu Biao did not hesitate to stab the long sword in his hand into Cai's chest.

The blood gushed out, and Liu Biao's face was splashed.

The news of Cai's death soon reached Cai Mao's ears through the mouth of Cai Mao's inner response in the Assassin's Mansion. Cai Mao's eyes erupted with fire, and he gritted his teeth and reprimanded, "If I don't avenge today, I, Cai Mao, will not give up." Liu Biao dog thief, I swear to kill you! ”

scolded and scolded, but Cai Mao knew that the garrison of Xiangyang City was now Liu Biao's descendants. If Liu Biao attacked him at this time, he would have no power to fight back, so he could only wait to be captured.

Thinking of this, he was shocked into a cold sweat, and fled back to Nanjun, the base camp of the Cai family, overnight, and gathered more than 30,000 people under his command in Nanjun, and then turned back to Xiangyang to seek revenge for his sister.

A fierce battle of slaughter began under the city of Xiangyang, and the battle lasted from the hour to the third quarter of the hour, and both sides suffered casualties. In the end, Liu Biao successfully blocked Cai Mao from the moat with the help of the vicissitudes of life and the stable city defense of Xiangyang City. After the war, he followed the plan of the military division Kuai Liang to send the general Wen Ping, and took advantage of Cai Mao's unstable foothold to attack the camp overnight, killing Cai Mao by surprise. Most of the 30,000 soldiers and horses were lost, and they fled in defeat.

Wen Ping followed and killed, and Cai Mao, who was chasing directly, did not even dare to return to Nanjun, and retreated directly to the south of Jingzhou, occupying the four counties of Changsha, Guiyang, Wuling, and Lingling in Jingnan.

The poor Cai clan in Nanjun County, Jingzhou, did not get the news in advance, and there was no time to escape, and more than 300 members of the clan were captured alive by Wen Pingsheng and pushed to the guillotine.

After occupying Nanjun, Wen Ping collected ships around the river, and put on a posture of attacking Changsha at any time.

According to Guo Jia's previous plan, Cai Mao was desperate at this time, and would definitely send someone to ask the church for help. Luan Yi took the opportunity to send troops to attack Cai Mao in the north and south, and it was only in the day and night that Liu Biao was destroyed. At that time, Cai Mao lost the foundation of Jingzhou, so he naturally couldn't be arrogant, and he had to ask for Luan Yi first, so he didn't have the capital to ask for the title of King of Chu again.

However, the world is unpredictable, and the ghost Guo Jia also has times of negligence. Just like now, both Luan Yi and he ignored an important issue - Cai Mao's stupidity.

At this critical moment of life and death, Cai Mao did not ask the church for emergency in order to help the rescue arrived earlier, but sent an envoy to Jiangdong to ask Sun Ce for help.

He didn't think that where he was moving the rescuers, it was clear that he was luring the wolf into the house.

Sure enough, after Sun Ce was invited, he immediately led Zhou Yu, Gan Ning, Huang Gai and other generals to gather 40,000 soldiers from Jiangdong to "help" Changsha.

As soon as he entered Changsha County, he did not say that he drove his soldiers and horses to the riverside to meet Liu Biao's army, but ran to the city of Changsha to extort military supplies from Cai Mao, and made it clear that if Cai Mao did not give it, he would lead his troops back to Moling and no longer help in the war.

Cai Mao had a request for help, so she had to agree. But when his quartermaster was carrying the grain out of the city, the deafening sound of war drums was heard at the moment the gates were opened.

"Sun Ce is attacking the city!"

With a scream, tens of thousands of Jiangdong troops rushed into the wide open Changsha city gate, Cai Mao lost the location of the city gate, and was quickly defeated by being outnumbered. Cai Mao was beheaded by Gan Ning, and nearly half of his 20,000 Jingzhou troops were killed in the battle, and the rest surrendered.

After capturing Changsha, Sun Ce did not stop fighting and sent Zhou Yu to attack Lingling, Huang Gai to capture Wuling, and Gan Ning to attack Guiyang. The three-way army came out together, and it took only ten days to include the three counties of Jingnan.

Although the news of Sun Ce's capture of the entire Jingnan was transmitted back to Jinan by the Church Intelligence Network as quickly as possible, when Luan Yi got the information, he was powerless.

He knew that he couldn't sit idly by at this time, and if he waited any longer, even Jingbei Xinye, Fancheng, Xiangyang, and Nanjun would become a delicacy on Sun Ce's plate.

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, he immediately ordered Guan Yu and Jia Xushuai to teach Chen Bing of the Tianlong Army of the Xuzhou Diocese of Our Lady of Our Lady to be free, and put on the appearance of attacking Sun Ce's rear nest Moling.

At the same time, after appointing Lu Zhi to return to Beijing to serve as a lieutenant, the new Yuzhou assassin Cao Cao led 40,000 Yuzhou troops to Xinye, in order to avoid Cao Cao's setbacks in the war, Luan Yi sent Zhang He, Gao Lan, Yu Ban, Xu Huang four generals to lead 20,000 church central army in Xinye to join Cao Cao, capture Fancheng and Xiangyang at the fastest speed, and capture the northern part of Jingzhou in one fell swoop.

For a time, there were Luan Yi tigers in the north of Jingzhou, and Sun Ce jackals in the south. He first encountered the anger of betrayal by his cronies, and then the pain of widowhood, and then the coolness of Wenpin's successive battles, and was surrounded by people, allowing him to be a mermaid, and he could be said to have tasted all the five flavors of the world in just half a month.

He was already in poor health, and now after a series of ups and downs, his eyes were black and he fainted to the ground, suffering from a serious illness and being bedridden.

Liu Biao fell ill, and Jingzhou immediately lost his backbone. At this time, the brothers Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue stood up and suggested that Liu Biao elect a prince to temporarily act as the state minister.

Liu Biao, who was on the sickbed, knew that he was inadequate, so he followed his words.

It is said that Liu Biao always has three sons, and the second son Liu Cong was born to the Cai family, so naturally it is impossible to be the first choice of the son, and the third son Liu Xiu is still too old to handle state affairs. In this way, the identity of the prince can only fall on Liu Qi.

Liu Qi, who was still young, encountered such a thorny problem as the army pressing the border when he first took charge of state affairs, and he was very at a loss. I had to invite Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue to ask for advice.

Liu Qi asked: "Two gentlemen, the current enemy, whether it is Luan Yi or Sun Ce, our army is all enemies. Last night, I discussed with my father and decided to take refuge in order to protect my father in Jingzhou. It's just that I can't make up my mind at the moment, should I vote for Luan Yi or Sun Ce? ”

Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue glanced at each other, and through Liu Qi's eyes, they saw that Liu Qi and Liu Biao had already had an answer last night, "In the opinion of the son, who should I take refuge in?" ”

Liu Qi pondered for a moment and said, "At present, it seems that Luan Yi is powerful, and Sun Ce is weak. With my strength in Jingzhou, if I voted for Luan Yi, Luan Yi would not think so, and the reward would naturally be much lower. Instead of this, it is better to follow Sun Ce, as the so-called icing on the cake is better than charcoal in the snow. Sun Ce is grateful for our efforts and will definitely treat us well. What do the two gentlemen think? ”

Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue looked at each other and smiled, and nodded, "Liu Jingzhou and Gongzi are far-sighted, and what they said 'the icing on the cake is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow' is indeed reasonable. ”

"So, the two gentlemen also agreed to defect to Sun Ce?" Liu Qi let out a sigh of relief when he got the answer, but Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue shook their heads at the same time, "I think that the current defection to Sun Ce seems to be a superior strategy, but it is actually not wise. ”

"Oh? What about that? Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue nodded suddenly, and suddenly shook their heads, which made Liu Qi confused.

Kuai Liang asked Liu Qi rhetorically, "Childe! Next, I would like to ask you, is the current Han Luan Yi stronger, or Jiangdong Sun Ce? ”

Liu Qi replied as a matter of course, "Luan Ziqi will occupy the land of Qizhou, and naturally Luan Ziqi is stronger." ”

"Then I'll ask you again. After Sun Ce added Jingzhou, how is it better than Luan Ziqi? ”
