Even if the Kuai brothers really took refuge in Liu Bei, but they have not openly sided with Liu Bei and have not openly opposed Liu Biao, then even if Liu Biao is suspicious of the Kuai brothers, he can't do anything to the Kuai family.

However, if the Kuai brothers dare to openly oppose Liu Biao and oppose Liu Biao in public, then it is tantamount to breaking up with Liu Biao, then, even if it has an impact on the stability of Xiangyang, Liu Biao can no longer let the Kuai brothers do anything wrong, and must control their Kuai family, so as not to cause greater danger.

Cai Mao was also very willing to accept Liu Biao's order, he had long wanted to do it to the Kuai family, so it was just right.

Outside Liu Biao's recuperation palace, it had already been controlled by the soldiers and cavalry sent by Cai Mao and Huang Zu, and there was a bit of a noisy scene earlier, but it was very quiet at the moment.

Supporting Liu Biao, naturally there was no need for Cai Mao to personally support him, but two maids supported him on the left and right.

Seeing that Liu Biao, who did not show up, was at the palace gate of the palace, the brothers of the Kuai family couldn't help but feel a little weak in their hearts, and the people who followed them to force the palace to persuade Liu Biao to retire also had a little commotion. After all, these of them, who were originally Liu Biao's subordinates and Liu Biao's people, are now a little frightened in the face of the true lord of Jingzhou.

"Oh? It's Xenomorph and Zirou, what's wrong? You have to come to see me Liu Biao early in the morning, and you have to mobilize the people so much, don't you all think that my Liu Biao is dead? Are you coming to give me Liu Biao's funeral? Liu Biao beat his spirits and said coldly.

Liu Biao's voice was not too loud, but everyone present could hear it very clearly.

Hearing Liu Biao's tone that seemed to be murderous. made Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue's foreheads oozed drops of sweat.

"Lord, lord......" Kuai Liang said a little as if it was difficult to speak: "The minister came early in the morning to disturb the lord, it is really a crime that deserves death, but." The minister thinks that some things will come sooner or later, so he dared to come and talk to the lord, who thinks, a group of colleagues have the same meaning as Kuai. And they came together. ”

"Oh? Is it? And what about the people among you? Could it be that these folks and elders are also the same as you. Have the same thing and want to talk to me Liu Biao? Liu Biao swept over coldly.

"This ......" Kuai Liang shrank a little, but now, he has nothing to choose from, and now he has forced Liu Biao out of the palace. Don't say it at the moment. How long will you stay?

Thinking of this, Kuai Liang straightened his waist and said calmly: "Lord, Kuai Mou is also thinking about Jingzhou, and for the sake of our Jingzhou people not to become slaves of Liu Yi of the New Han Dynasty. I thought that recently, the rumors in our Xiangyang City were really not unreasonable. Now. We, Jingzhou, have been oppressed by the powerful New Han Dynasty. Our Jingzhou military and civilians, need a more powerful Ming Lord to resist the incoming strong enemy for us, and the Lord is seriously ill, since the New Han Army threatened to destroy our Jingzhou, the Lord has been sick in bed, and even ordinary simple political affairs can not be handled, this is not conducive to our Jingzhou Army and people to resist the New Han Dynasty army. It just so happened that the lord wisely invited Liu Huang's uncle Liu Bei to preside over the overall situation of our Jingzhou, which made our Jingzhou still survive for the time being. Under the current situation, if our soldiers and civilians in Jingzhou do not rise up to resist and fight tenaciously, our Jingzhou will be finished. Therefore, for the sake of the millions of people and hundreds of thousands of troops in Jingzhou, please give up the lord of Jingzhou and give it to someone who has the talent to bring us the safety and tranquility of Jingzhou to be the lord of Jingzhou. This is the humble opinion of his subordinates, of course, it is also the opinion of a group of Jingzhou civil and military, as well as the people of Jingzhou. Please be magnanimous and focus on the overall situation of Jingzhou! ”

"Kuailiang, you!" Liu Biao was furious.

Even if Liu Biao had expected it a long time ago, he had already planned to let the Kuai brothers lure Liu Bei to lead a group of Jingzhou civil and military forces to pretend to force the palace, and then bite Liu Bei back, so that Liu Bei's bamboo basket would be empty. Then let everyone turn against him, count Liu Bei's crimes, and he can follow the will of the people and take down or kill Liu Bei. However, the current situation is different from Liu Biao's expectations, and the brothers of the Kuai family did not notify him in advance that they were going to launch such a palace drama. Moreover, he asked him to lure Liu Bei over, but Liu Bei did not attract him, but he made it clear that he wanted to betray himself and carry out such a palace forcing plan for Liu Bei.

Therefore, Liu Biao was really angry at the moment.

"Haha......" Liu Biao laughed angrily.

"Ahem......" After laughing, there was another strong cough.

"Good, good...... Good you Kuailiang, Kuaiyue! The old man is just sick, do you really think of me Liu Biao as a sick cat? I've never heard that the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die, but I haven't heard about the minister wanting the king to die. Now, are you making it clear that you want to rebel? Okay, Cai Mao! Take it all for me! Liu Biao coldly ordered: "I, Liu Biao, want to see who has the final say in this Jingzhou!" ”

"Come on, take it all down for me!"

Cai Mao did not hesitate for the slightest, and immediately gave an order to the people surrounding the Kuai brothers.

The soldiers who had already been prepared pounced on them like wolves, and for a while, those who came to "petition" were all in chaos. Or, these people really didn't realize the cruelty of forcing the palace, and they didn't mean to come and do such a thing, which meant that they were in danger of being killed by Liu Biao on the spot.

However, it was also fortunate that Liu Biaoxiàn only ordered people to take them down, and did not order them to be killed on the spot, otherwise, when the thousands of cavalry charged, these people who had no rain and iron would be washed into a pile of meat paste.

With a hula, almost everyone from Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue down knelt down at once, allowing Liu Biao's soldiers to step forward to restrain them.

The scene didn't have much chaos, because none of the people brought by Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue dared to resist.

Liu Biao coldly watched the soldiers roughly press and press the Kuai brothers on the ground, ready to say some cool words in front of them, and then in front of them, ordered Cai Mao to lead people to copy the Kuai family.

But just then, a rider came from the end of the street.

"Jingsheng! Be merciful, please hurt these people in a hurry. ”

No one came. And he cried out with a loud voice.

...... ......

Riding fast like the wind, he rushed to the front of the palace in the blink of an eye, and the soldiers around him. Because he didn't get Liu Biao's instructions, and he had already seen clearly who was coming, no one stepped forward to stop him for a while.

The person who came was Liu Bei, as soon as he came, he didn't wait for the war horse to stop, he turned over from the horse and strode forward. walked in front of Liu Biao and said, "Jingsheng, please hurry up, different degrees and Zirou them." is just for the sake of the people of Jingxiang, as well as these Jingzhou civil and military, as well as the people, they should also be thinking about the safety of Jingzhou. That's why I had this abrupt impulse. ”

Liu Biao saw Liu Bei. He almost couldn't help but give a direct order and let Liu Bei be arrested as well.

This girl, it should be that he is inciting the Kuai brothers to force the palace, but now he wants to jump out and be a peacemaker? What the hell is this guy trying to do?

Liu Biao looked at Liu Bei coldly and said indifferently: "Xuande, do you know what they are doing just now?" What was said? Do you think too? I, Liu Biao, are no longer suitable to be the lord of Jingzhou? Do you want me to let the table give you this Jingzhou Liu Bei? ”

"Huh? No, no, no, ......" Liu Bei waved his hand again and again: "Jingsheng, how can you look at me Liu Bei like this?" How could I, Liu Bei, have the heart to spy on my brother Jingzhou? Really. It's all a misunderstanding. ”

"Misunderstanding?" Liu Biao said noncommittally.

"Yes, it was a misunderstanding." Liu Bei bowed to Liu Biao and said: "Brother, the reason why they have the idea of persuading my brother to abdicate and give me Liu is that I really misunderstood that my brother was seriously ill and saw that Jingzhou was in danger, so they were anxious in their hearts before they suddenly proposed to let Liu Bei be the lord of Jingzhou, and this may also be the influence of the rumors that have suddenly spread recently." But, brother, this, brother, I'm afraid I won't be able to wash it if I have to jump into the Yangtze River. Well, I, Liu Bei, have a position here, that is, I, Liu Bei, came to Xiangyang, and never thought of replacing my brother as the lord of Jingzhou. Therefore, please don't get angry with their advice. If my brother is still not at ease, then I, Liu Bei, can leave Xiangyang now, so that my brother can understand my brother's heart, right? ”

Liu Biao naturally didn't believe Liu Bei's words, but Liu Bei had already said it to this point, and there were so many people watching there, could Liu Biao really say: Okay, since you Liu Bei wants to leave Xiangyang to prove that you have no ambitions for Jingzhou, then you can leave......

However, Liu Biao can't say that, under the current public situation, once he really agrees with Liu Bei to leave, then it is impossible for him to borrow Liu Bei to blackmail Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

"Xuande, that's not what you said, Brother Kuai, they have committed the crime of rebellion by causing a group of subjects to make a noise here, no matter what their purpose is." Liu Biao Shi Ran waved his hand and said: "Xuande, this matter has nothing to do with you, please stay in Xiangyang with peace of mind, Jingzhou's affairs, I have to preside over it, don't be careful, I Liu Biao has never suspected you of anything, well, okay, Xuande, this matter is just done, they, just look at it first, and wait to find out the reason why they do this, if they are really just for the sake of the people of Jingzhou, then it is also willing, but Liu is worried that they are bewitched by some people, and in our Jingzhou, the wind and rain are swaying, Mess with us. Well, who can guarantee that they were not rebelled against by Liu Yi or some other people with ambitions for us in Jingzhou? ”

"Impossible!" Liu Bei knelt directly in front of Liu Biao, clasped his fists and arched his hands: "Jingsheng, I, Liu Bei, use my own head as a guarantee, and they will never be bought by others for Xenodu and Zirou." During this time, the brothers of the Kuai family worked hard and hard for the affairs of Jingzhou, and they only had merit and no fault, not to mention that they were indispensable to maintain the stability of Jingxiang. If Jingsheng really wants to take them into custody and investigate, then, after all, they are all asking for their lives for me Liu Bei, even if it is not for me Liu Bei to ask them to do this, but they are also implicated because of preparation. Or, this way, Jingsheng, I, Liu Bei, am willing to accept it on their behalf, one, I, Liu Bei, will leave Xiangyang now, and two, you will imprison my Liu Bei. I only ask for Jingsheng, you are magnanimous, let them go this time. ”

"Liu Bei, you ......" Liu Biao glared at Liu Bei, secretly hating in his heart.

What's the matter, why do good people always let Liu Bei do it? In Liu Biao's heart, he really hated to arrest Liu Bei at this moment. However, in this public situation, Liu Bei didn't seem to do anything disrespectful to himself. If I locked up Liu Bei together like this, wouldn't it seem that my Liu Biao didn't have a little belly?

Especially, Liu Bei. As soon as he came, he made it clear that he had no ambitions for Jingzhou, and kept saying that he wanted to leave Xiangyang. This is tantamount to making what Liu Biao did before and stammering Liu Bei's reputation in vain.

Now let Liu Bei's move to retreat into advance, making Liu Biao a little passive.

"Jingsheng, if there is anything unhappy in your heart, just rush at me Liu Bei. The Kuai brothers have done so much for Jingzhou. It's not appropriate to detain them now, how can we deal with the New Han Army, and we have to ask them for advice. Brother. One qiē focus on the overall situation! ”

"Humph! Okay, for your sake, Xuande, you all scattered for me, as today. If there is a next time. Don't blame me for Liu Biao's rudeness! Liu Biao was forced to be helpless, so he had to wave his hand unwillingly and let Cai Mao's soldiers retreat.

"Kuailiang, Kuaiyue! For Xuande's sake, this time, I, Liu Biao, don't care about you, but you also have to listen, Jingzhou is still my Liu Biao's Jingzhou, and now Xuande also understands that he has no intention of seizing Jingzhou. If you talk about these things again with wishful thinking, then don't blame me for not remembering the old feelings! Liu Biao glared at Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue fiercely. The words were warning and intimidating.

"Thank you for your kindness, I waited for the wrong ......"

……

The goal has been achieved, and the Kuai brothers quickly accepted it when they saw it, and did not entangle it anymore.

What they have to do is to restore Liu Bei's reputation in front of the public, and after such a public incident, Liu Bei can prove to the people of Xiangyang that he Liu Bei did not have the heart to seize Jingzhou. In this way, the people of Xiangyang still see that Liu Bei is still the so-called hero of benevolence and righteousness, not an ambitious person for Jingzhou.

At this moment, the Kuai brothers, as well as some of them who knew a little about the situation in Jingzhou Wenwu, they were all secretly relieved, knowing that they had overcome this difficulty. What they were most worried about was that Liu Biao wanted to see them forcing the palace to rebel, and in a fit of anger, he dealt with them first. The military power is in Liu Biao's hands, Liu Biao really wants to solve them immediately, they really don't even have the strength to resist.

"Cai Mao, let's go back, it's windy here. …… Well, Xuande, don't be unhappy about this incident, Jingzhou still has to rely on you, let's go, don't send it! Liu Biao, supported by the two maids, returned to the palace.

Originally, this action should have been a joint point in the turmoil in Xiangyang, but because Liu Bei came to such a retreat, it did not cause contradictions between the two sides.

However, for Cai Mao, this is fine, because he really didn't expect Liu Bei to let the Kuai brothers launch the palace forcing incident so quickly, and he didn't have time to prepare, and he was ready to put the Kuai family and others on the wrong path with him Cai Mao, as well as to wipe out Liu Biao and Liu Bei.

However, there is no doubt that the matter of the Kuai brothers leading people to the palace in front of Liu Biaoxing's palace is tantamount to igniting the fuse of the Xiangyang chaos, making Xiangyang, an unstable bomb, likely to explode at any time.

In fact, it is indeed the same, because, soon, there was an urgent piece of information that was sent to Liu Biao, Liu Bei and Cai Mao respectively.

That is, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei suddenly led the army south and rushed back to Xiangyang, and now, they are already on the way, and I am afraid that in the evening, they will return to Xiangyang.

Hearing this information, all the factions in Xiangyang couldn't help but panic a little.

First of all, Liu Bei, as soon as he heard the news that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei suddenly led their troops south from the front line to return to Xiangyang for some reason, he couldn't help but shout.

Because, the reason why Liu Biao didn't move him was mainly because he wanted to use him to blackmail Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to guard the front line of defense between Jingzhou and the Xinhan Army. It is necessary to use them to defend him against the attack of the New Han army. However, now Guan Yu and Zhang Fei suddenly led the army back to Xiangyang, what does this mean?

Liu Bei felt that Liu Biao would think like this for the first time, thinking that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were now out of his Liu Biao's control, and after the incident of forcing the palace today, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led the army back to Xiangyang, is this his Liu Bei's conspiracy to transfer his two righteous brothers to Xiangyang to help him Liu Bei seize power in Jingzhou? Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental? Looking at the time of the intelligence, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had already left the Jingzhou military camp on the front line last night and rushed back to Xiangyang.

In addition, even if Liu Biao didn't think so, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led the army back to Xiangyang, once they were allowed to join him, it would be equivalent to completely breaking away from Liu Biao's control. If he was Liu Biao, at this time, he would definitely not let Guan Yu and Zhang Fei meet him.

In general, the news that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led the army back to Xiangyang made Liu Bei suddenly in a state of panic. He was worried that Liu Biao might soon launch an action against him.

is just like Liu Bei's conjecture. Liu Biao was really surprised when he got the information that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei suddenly led their troops south to return to Xiangyang.

Qiē made Liu Biao feel that there was a conspiracy in it.

The Kuai brothers led the crowd to the palace to force the palace, Liu Biao knew very well in his heart that Liu Bei must have secretly instructed him. So, after such an incident, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's military horses are about to return to Xiangyang, what does this mean? Does this show that Liu Bei was worried that he would treat him at any time, so he transferred back to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to his side to help him plot his Jingzhou?

Although Liu Biao is here, there are 200,000 or 300,000 troops in Xiangyang, but his scruples about Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in his heart are really indescribable, and he is really worried that once Liu Bei is allowed to meet Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, then he may not be able to get Liu Bei in Xiangyang. Seriously, if it weren't for Liu Bei's own cooperation, Liu Biao also thought that he really didn't have much opportunity to really seize Liu Bei to blackmail Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

At the first time, Liu Biao felt that Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Liu Bei must not be allowed to converge, and even, if necessary, to mobilize the army to prevent Guan Yu and Zhang Fei from crossing the Xiangjiang River and returning to Xiangyang.

Well, Xiangyang, at the junction of the Xiangjiang River and the Yushui River, is on the south bank of the Xiangjiang River, and the military horses of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei must cross the Xiangjiang River if they want to return to Xiangyang.

Liu Biao did not dare to hesitate, and immediately gave an order to the generals below to send the army out to enter the defense line north of Xiangyang and south of Xiangjiang to prevent Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's military horses from crossing the river. If Guan Yu and Zhang Fei dare to lead the army to forcibly cross the river, then it proves that Liu Bei has decided to openly fight with him Liu Biao, so Liu Biao feels that when it is time for him to turn his face with Liu Bei, he must solve Liu Bei first, and he must not let Liu Bei leave Xiangyang alive.

This, Cai Mao has to be asked to carry out the work of removing Liu Bei for him.

And Cai Mao was even more panicked than Liu Bei and Liu Biao. Because he knew that if Guan Yu and Zhang Fei really returned to Xiangyang and returned to Liu Bei's side, then he felt that it would be really difficult to solve Liu Bei.

Before being in Wancheng before, Cai Mao didn't see whether Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Wancheng's generals of the New Han Army, or even the fight with Liu Yi was a real battle or a fake fight. Anyway, according to Cai Mao's observations, he didn't think that these generals sent by Cao Cao could be Guan Yu's enemies. In particular, you must know that Xiahoudun and Xu Huang know Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and if they are matched, it is possible for people to know the relationship between him Cai Mao and Cao Cao.

In this regard, under the condition that he can't kill Liu Bei or kill Liu Biao, and then exposes his Cai Mao's identity, then he, Cai Mao, is afraid that there is only one way to die. Also, even if he is not exposed and let Guan Yu and Zhang Fei return to Xiangyang to stir up the situation, he fails to win Xiangyang for Cao Cao as he wishes, then he will inevitably die in the end.

In short, Cai Mao also felt that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei must not be allowed to return to Xiangyang to join Liu Bei. Or, he wanted to solve Liu Bei first before Guan Yu and Zhang Fei returned to Xiangyang.

Fortunately, Liu Biao had already ordered the Jingzhou army and horses, and transferred more than 100,000 troops to defend the Xiangjiang River, preventing Guan Yu and Zhang Fei from crossing the river to Xiangyang. And Liu Biao seemed to be forced to have no choice, so he gave Cai Mao an order and asked Cai Mao to prepare for action and solve Liu Bei.

Of course, this is not right away, but there is still a wait, waiting for what? We have to wait for the results of Liu Biao's dispatch to negotiate with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. If Guan Yu and Zhang Fei could still be coerced by him Liu Biao and immediately lead the army back to the front line to confront the New Han Army, then Liu Biao might not have to rush to do something to Liu Bei. But if Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are no longer coerced and have to cross the river to join Liu Bei, then Cai Mao can do it. (To be continued......)
