Chapter 189: Guan and Zhang deter Cai Mao

Liu Biao naturally wouldn't ask Cao Cao for help, but Cai Mao had already prepared for his exculpation, and had already made some fake orders, with Liu Biao's drawings on them.

Among the "proofs" he threw to Huang Zu for inspection, there was also an order from Liu Biao to kill Liu Bei.

"Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, the three of them, which one is not the dragon and phoenix among the people? It's just that everyone was attracted by the dazzling edge of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, ignoring the fact that Liu Bei himself is also a first-class master. Think about it, at the beginning of the Tiger Prison Pass, Sanying fought against Lu Bu, if Liu Bei was just a mediocre person and didn't have any ability, he could walk under Lu Bu's hands? I'm afraid that the fierce murderous aura of the three generals Lu Bu, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei is enough to strangle Liu Bei at once, making Liu Bei unable to get close to the battle group at all. This time he killed Liu Bei, even though so many of our soldiers were surrounded and intercepted, and the generals Xiahoudun and Xu Huang sent by Cao Cao, Liu Bei still escaped from Xiangyang City, and almost let him cross the river and escape. This is what General Huang Zu saw with your own eyes. If it weren't for Xiahoudun and Xu Huang, Liu Bei would probably have already joined Guan Yu and Zhang Fei at this moment, and then how much danger would it bring to our Jingzhou? ”

Cai Mao said to Huang Zu in a heartfelt manner: "So, what do you still suspect about me now?" Culling Liu Bei and arranging Cao Cao's people to be among the lord's personal soldiers, these are all the meaning of the lord. ”

"Even if you can prove this that it is not your Cai Mao's fault, you still can't prove whether you have the intention to murder the lord." Huang Zu still looked at Cai Mao coldly and said: "I, Huang, am loyal to my lord, and I don't want to see our lord's Jingzhou surname Cai!" If it can't be proven. The young master is under the protection of your people, I am not at ease! ”

Cai Mao really wanted to ask Liu Cong to hand it over to Huang Zu, but. He also instigated Liu Cong to submit to Cao Cao. Handed over to Huang Zu's people to guard, how would he act?

"Okay, good......" Cai Mao was forced by Huang Zu to have no choice, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay!" I don't believe that Liu Bei can do things so seamlessly. Do you want me Cai Mao to prove my innocence? Okay, then I'll prove it to you. After a while, you will join me again to torture and interrogate all those who have been in contact with the lord. All the subordinate maids, all the doctors who have seen the doctor for the lord, all of them will not let go. But I, Cai Mao, put the words in front. If I, Cai Mao, can prove my innocence, you Huang Zu must listen to my Cai Mao's orders, any orders! Can you do it? ”

"As long as it is beneficial to Jingzhou, my Huang Zu has nothing to say. You let me go east. I'm not going west! Seeing Cai Mao like this, Huang Zu said with a slightly slower expression.

"Good...... Someone ...... coming."

"Report ......"

Cai Mao was about to summon all the people who had been accused of being in contact with Liu Biao for interrogation, when a soldier looked panicked and stumbled in.

"Why are you so flustered? Report it! ”

Cai Mao shouted.

"Yu, Yu, General...... The city, outside the city, Guan, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, they are here......"

"What? Guan Yu and Zhang Fei arrived outside Xiangyang City? How many military horses did they bring? Why did they come to report when they arrived? Cai Mao was shocked, she didn't expect that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the two super fierce people, would come to Xiangyang so quickly.

The shadow of the name tree of man. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei disappeared since Lu Bu was defeated and captured alive by Cao Cao. Among the world's perceptions, in addition to Liu Yi, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are the most powerful. In the face of such a fierce general, without a fight, he will first capture people's hearts and frustrate his courage.

"General, no, there are no military horses, just, just the two of them."

"What? Just the two of them? So, then what are you panicking about? Could it be that with just the two of them, they can be killed and entered Xiangyang City? When Cai Mao heard this, she calmed down a little.

"General, general......" The soldier who delivered the newspaper said with a crying voice: "Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came outside the city, our city defenders didn't recognize it for a while, and a group of hundreds of cavalry wanted to go out of the city to catch them, but ...... But in the blink of an eye, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei beheaded them, and the corpses were scattered all over the ground......"

"Huh?"

Jingzhou Wenwu in the hall was suddenly frightened.

"They threatened to call those who could speak in our city to answer the words, and if they did not go, they would come in and kill them......

"Killing? We have more than 100,000 troops in our city, and an army outside the city, how can we allow them to run rampant? Cai Mao wasn't too worried about this, and said a little angrily.

"No, no, General Cai, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei said that they will sneak into the city at any time and assassinate all our Jingzhou civil and military personnel, including their families, and leave no ...... behind."

"Forehead ......"

Cai Mao, Huang Zu and other ministers looked at each other. Everybody's heart was chilling.

Well, offending such a peerless warrior is really unsettling. They are not afraid of Guan Yu and Zhang Feiqiang, but they are afraid that they will hide in the shadows to carry out assassination. Once they are allowed to sneak into the city, they don't know who is unlucky, because they can't be protected by countless soldiers all the time. What's more, can ordinary soldiers stop them from killing?

"Let's go out of the city and meet them, the two of them came to the city alone, I don't think they really want to kill our Jingzhou civil and military, if they really want to avenge Liu Bei, they won't show up like this." Huang Zu thought about it and said to Cai Mao.

"Okay, I think Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are not unreasonable people, we are each our own masters, and we are just acting according to orders. The order to kill Liu Bei was given by the lord, and now the lord is no longer there. What's more, it wasn't our people from Jingzhou who really killed Liu Bei. It is Xiahoudun and Xu Huang sent by Cao Cao, we have the orders of the lord, these can be seen by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to prove our innocence. Cai Mao nodded, a little weak-hearted.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, two generals, they crossed the Xiangjiang River early in the morning and searched for a long time by the Xiangjiang River, but did not find Liu Bei's body. After that, he went directly to Xiangyang City.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were already angry in their hearts, saw that the defenders of Xiangyang actually dared to send people to arrest them, so they were angry at the moment, and mercilessly strangled the hundreds of cavalry with the momentum of thunder, directly frightening the defenders at the head of Xiangyang City, and they were like cicadas. Don't dare to go out of the city to catch people again.

Cai Mao and the others naturally didn't dare to go out of the city to talk to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, they just rushed to the city wall. Talk to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei on it.

"General Guan, General Zhang, don't come unharmed?" Cai Mao pretended to be very close to Guan Yu, and greeted Guan Yu and Zhang Fei under the city: "Alas, General Guan, it is Cai who is incompetent and has failed to protect the safety of Uncle Liu Huang......"

The Jingzhou army at the head of the city all turned against each other. Ya, it was you Cai Mao who ordered to send someone to kill Liu Bei, but now it has become that you want to protect Liu Bei? If you really protect Liu Bei. Then Liu Bei is afraid that he will not die......

Of course, other people didn't know that Cai Mao had told Guan Yu in private, and Cai Mao now wanted to take advantage of this, so that Guan Yu would not suspect that Liu Bei's death was directly related to them.

"No more nonsense! I'm here. It's about figuring it out. How did my eldest brother Liu Bei die. Which of you was involved in the murder of my big brother! Guan Yu didn't want to hear Cai Mao say more, so he interrupted his words and asked sharply: "No matter who it is, you can't get out of the relationship, Guan will settle this account with you sooner or later!" ”

"General Guan...... ......Cai Mao hurriedly said: "Uncle Liu's death, I, Cai Mao, am indeed responsible, but Cai Mao is only someone else's minister, so I have to obey orders." As for how Uncle Liu Huang died. There are some orders here, please look at General Guan. Once you've seen it, it's clear. ”

Those Liu Biao's orders were still in Huang Zu's hands, and Cai Mao motioned for Huang Zu to take them out and show them to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Huang Zu was originally a little dissatisfied with Cai Mao's passing the responsibility to the dead lord Liu Biao, but considering his own life and the lives of many Jingzhou civil and military families, he still took it out and let people use a blue to hang it down to the city, and at the same time put down the suspension bridge.

Zhang Fei didn't wait for Guan Yu's consent, he impatiently steered the war horse that he had just snatched, jumped over the suspension bridge, arrived at the city, and took back the command documents in the basket.

These orders are orders issued by Liu Biao, and they do not seem to be fake.

In fact, if you really look at the order issued by Liu Biao, there is also the cooperation with what Liu Bei did in Xiangyang City. There is really a feeling that Liu Bei is killing himself.

Liu Biao invited Liu Bei to come to Xiangyang, at the beginning, it seemed that Guan didn't want to kill Liu Bei, he just wanted to use the ability of Liu Bei's three brothers to defend Jingzhou for him. However, Liu Bei arrived in Xiangyang with ambitions, and when he arrived, he conspired with Liu Biao and transferred Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to the front line.

Then, Liu Bei was in Xiangyang, and he tried his best to take millet from the fire and seek to seize Liu Biao's Jingzhou. Looking at the order documents issued by Liu Biao, it seems that Liu Biao was responding passively, and he was forced to have no choice, so he gave the order to kill Liu Bei.

If you just look at it like this, even Guan Yu feels that he is at a loss.

This is either the king or the loser, his skills are not as good as others, his plans are not as good as others, and he will eventually die, who will complain about this?

"Xiahoudun! Xu Huang! I, Zhang Fei, will not spare you! Zhang Fei also finished reading these Liu Biao's order documents together, but he didn't think much about it. Because, Liu Bei was indeed killed by them, and he wanted revenge, which is also justified. With red eyes, he raised his head to the sky and shouted, and then pointed at the people on the head of the city and shouted, "And you! Don't want to get out of the relationship! ”

"Oh, General Zhang, please don't be impulsive, now, my father-in-law Liu Biao has also died, and he still died under the arrangement of Uncle Liu Huang, it has nothing to do with us, please General Zhang is angry." Cai Mao shouted at the head of the city.

"Humph!" Guan Yu snorted coldly at this moment, and said coldly: "The three of us brothers were in trouble in Jingzhou, and we were fortunate to be taken in by Liu Biao. However, it is useless to say anything now, after all, my eldest brother is dead, and you are all related. ”

"Uh, General Guan......" Cai Mao said with a wry smile: "General Guan, Cai is ...... cough cough, forget it, don't talk about it now, General Guan is a righteous and unreasonable person, if you really think that Cai has a relationship, then, General Guan wants to kill me Cai, and there is no way to resist, so he can only accept his fate. But ......"

Cai Mao paused for a moment and said to Guan Yu: "General Guan, may I ask the general, where do you want to go in the future?" Cai has a saying, don't vomit or be unhappy. In any case, Uncle Liu Huang is dead, General Guan and General Zhang, you are indeed an ownerless general now. I, Cai Mao, dare not say that I will let General Guan and General Zhang serve you, but if you dare to ask the two generals, it is better to officially serve our young master of Jingzhou, so that hundreds of thousands of troops in Jingzhou are still at the disposal of the two generals, so I don't know. The two generals Guan and Zhang, can they look at Jingzhou's foundation? ”

Up and down the city wall, I listened to Cai Mao's words. All of them were silent, and everyone looked at Cai Mao with strange expressions.

At this moment, Cai Mao still dares to subdue Guan Yu and Zhang Fei? Isn't this a fool's dream? However, thinking about it, Cai Mao is like this, and still handed over the Jingzhou army to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, which is equivalent to handing over Jingzhou to them. If the average person. I'm afraid it's really a little tempting.

That's why everyone looked at Cai Mao with a strange look and felt that Cai Mao was a person. is really worthy of being a businessman, there will always be a saying.

However, how could Guan Yu and Zhang Fei not know what they were about handing over the military power of Jingzhou to the two of them? They simply couldn't mobilize the Jingzhou army, which was full of factions. If it can really be mobilized. They are not afraid to bend down temporarily. In the name of commanding the entire army of Jingzhou, he surrendered to the New Han Dynasty en masse, which would save a lot of Liu Yi's effort.

However, Guan Yu thought that Cai Mao was just a joke.

"Haha! Now, you Cai Mao still have such thoughts? Hmph, that's ridiculous! Although Guan's eldest brother died, he had already had a place to go. You don't have to worry about it. Well, now. Immediately, you will hand over all my eldest brother's military horses that you have captured, and let me take Guan Mou away, so, Guan Mou will not worry about you for the time being, otherwise, you will not blame my brother for being ruthless, from now on, you will definitely kill you Xiangyang forever, and the blood will flow like a river! ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei naturally couldn't immediately enter Xiangyang City and kill all these people who participated in the killing of Liu Bei. The purpose of his coming here is to find out how Liu Bei died, and the second is to ask Xiangyang for his sergeant.

"This ...... Good! Cai Mao's face was embarrassed, and he looked at the Jingzhou civil and military forces on the left and right, and saw that they didn't seem to have any opinions, so he nodded in agreement.

At this time, there was no need for them to immediately arouse the anger of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei for this matter. If they really can't get rid of this pair of evil stars and let them sneak into the city to kill, no one will have a hard time.

"But ......" Cai Mao followed and said: "General Guan, Liu Bei has a total of thousands of elite soldiers lurking in the city, there was a fierce battle at that time, there are not many surviving soldiers, but hundreds of people, in addition, there are hundreds of wounded soldiers, do you want to send them out of the city to the general together?" ”

Guan Yu's heart ached, thousands of elite soldiers, there were only less than a thousand people left.

"What about the other sergeants?" There were more than 10,000 people left in Xiangyang, and Liu Bei only had a few thousand people when he entered the city.

"Uncle Liu's military horses stationed outside the city have been ...... has already fled......" Cai Mao didn't dare to tell the truth, and said vaguely.

In fact, Liu Bei's men and horses outside the city have long been wiped out by Cai Mao's people. It is impossible for him to only do it to Liu Bei, but not to Liu Bei's military camp outside the city.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had actually been to the military camp outside Liu Bei City to inspect it, except for the bloodstains on the ground, there was no one left. They had already expected that those soldiers would either escape or be killed.

But this is also a helpless thing, and now, they are just holding that they can get back as many people as they want.

Cai Mao talked to the ministers in a low voice, and they all thought that there was no need to anger Guan Yu and Zhang Fei because of this matter.

The order went down and released Liu Bei's soldiers, and after a while, hundreds of bloodstained soldiers were released out of the city, and almost all of them supported or carried some wounded on their backs.

From the situation of these soldiers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei could imagine how fierce the battle in Xiangyang City was at that time, and none of them were not injured.

A group of soldiers who looked stunned and everyone was sad and angry, when they saw Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, they all couldn't help but kneel and cry loudly.

A group of iron-clad men are crying like children at the moment.

This time, almost all of Liu Bei's military horses in the city were wiped out, including Liu Bei himself. How can these soldiers not grieve?

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also wept and stepped forward to help them up one by one.

"General Guan...... General Guan ......"

In the midst of a cry of pain, a faint voice cried.

Guan Yu looked for prestige, but it was a wounded man lying on a stretcher.

"Huh? Chen? ”

Guan Yu saw the blood-stained outline of the wounded man, and recognized it at a glance, it was actually Chen Dao!

Although Chen Zhi is Liu Bei's most confidant and favorite general, he does not have any holidays with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and when they are usually together, they can be regarded as relatively harmonious.

"What's wrong with you? How does it hurt? You have to hold on! Guan Yu hurriedly stepped forward and held Chen Dao's hand.

"I'm afraid it won't work, and I was almost pierced through the chest by Xiahoudun's spear...... General Guan, yes, I'm sorry, the last general is incompetent and failed to protect the lord's ......" Chen Zhi said with a sad face.

"Okay, don't say more, as long as you can hold on, you can't die, I know someone can save you." Guan Yu held down Chen Dao, then stood up and said, "Okay, this is not the place, get up and follow me." ”

Now that he is still under Xiangyang City, it is indeed not safe to stay here, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are not afraid of coming, but now with these thousands of wounded soldiers, it is better to leave this place of right and wrong first.

Guan Yu negotiated with Cai Mao again, asked him to send someone out to send his own people to the river, and asked him to send a boat to send everyone across the river.

There is no way, these wounded soldiers, I am afraid that they will not be able to go far, and only after crossing the river can they have their own military horses. Now that Cai Mao is intimidated by his own power, he is soft, and it is nothing to ask for more.

If you want to save Chen Dao, the only way to rush back to Wancheng and let Liu Yi come to the rescue.

Seeing that Chen was covered in scars, Guan Yu didn't even dare to check his wounds. (To be continued......)
