Chapter Twenty-Five: The Drama Has Just Begun
Liu Bei shouted like this, Liu Cong, Cai Mao and others rushed in, and when they saw Liu Biao like this, they were anxious to summon the doctor.
After some tossing, Liu Biao finally breathed back a sigh of relief, and Liu Bei, who was watching from the sidelines, breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Cai Mao secretly glanced at Liu Cong, Liu Cong understood, and invited Liu Bei out of the house, and said very respectfully: "Thank you uncle for coming to visit my father, but now my uncle has seen my father like this, and my father needs to recuperate a lot, so please go back first." ”
Liu Cong is giving an eviction order.
Liu Bei looked at the well-behaved and handsome young man in front of him, but he had an indescribable disgust in his heart, but he could only endure it, and said: "Now that Cao Ying's army has gone south, it will invade Jingzhou before it happens, which is related to the life and death of my Jingzhou. ”
"This is natural, if Cao Jun comes, the front line of Xinye Fancheng will bear the brunt, and you still need to rely on your uncle, so please ask your uncle to hurry back to Xinye to preside over the overall situation of the front." Liu Cong replied very simply, wishing that Liu Bei would leave quickly.
When Liu Bei was about to say more, Zhao Yun, who followed him, suddenly entered from outside and glanced at Liu Bei, Liu Bei understood, so he had to say goodbye to Liu Cong.
After leaving the Texas Pastoral Mansion, Zhao Yun said in a low voice: "My lord, I just went around to inspect it, and I saw that in the side hall, there was a faint shadow of a sword and a halberd, most of which were people and horses under Liu Cong's ambush, intending to mistreat the lord. Lord, you can't stay here for a long time, let's hurry back to Fancheng. ”
A drop of cold sweat rolled down Liu Bei's forehead, and he said in a deep voice: "Liu Cong, this son, is really a dog, let's go back to Fancheng quickly." ”
As soon as Liu Bei left here, Cai Mao and Kuai Yue came one after another, Cai Mao complained: "Son, the knife and axe hands are ready, just wait for an order to chop Liu Bei into meat sauce, why don't you give a secret order." ”
Liu Cong sighed lightly and said, "Didn't you see Zhao Yun's guy suddenly come in, you must have noticed it, this person is brave, if I order it at that time, I will be poisoned." ”
Kuai Yue said: "Since the darkness is not good, just come to the bright one, then Liu Bei has only more than 100 people, and he must not have gone far at this moment, please Gongzi order to close the city gate and adjust the siege and killing, it is expected that no matter how brave Zhao Yun is, he will not be able to save Liu Bei's surname." ”
Liu Cong hesitated and said: "I'm afraid this is not appropriate, in front of the people outside, openly kill Liu Bei, spread it, and let the people of Jingzhou think of me, I will have to bear the crime of killing my uncle, how can I serve the people in the future, how can I be in charge of Jingzhou." ”
Kuai Yue stumbled and complained: "The son is soft for a while, let that Liu Bei get out, and it will be a big disaster for Jingzhou in the future." ”
Liu Cong pretended to smile indifferently and said: "Mr. Kuai's words are serious, in the future, I will be in charge, with more than 100,000 soldiers in Jingzhou, and Liu Bei's men are only a few thousand. ”
Liu Cong was afraid that he would be persecuted by the two again, so he excused himself to take care of his father and hurriedly entered the inner room.
Kuai Yue and Cai Mao glanced at each other, and their faces became hideous.
Kuai Yue said coldly: "It seems that your little nephew is the same as his father after all, he is also an indecisive person, and now that Cao Gong's army is heading south, we still have to plan early." ”
Cai Mao frowned and said: "Prime Minister Cao Cheng's army is pressing, and he can only bring about his own destruction if he resists, if he surrenders, he can still protect the integrity of your and my clans, no matter what Liu's foundation he is, it is not my surname Cai, besides, it is not the same under whom to do things, if you demote Prime Minister Cao Cheng or serve the imperial court, maybe you can also increase the official and enter the knighthood." ”
Kuai Yue smiled slyly, gave a thumbs up and said: "Those who know the times are handsome, and Kuai Yue admires them." However, Liu Jingsheng said that he would not die, according to his temper, he was afraid that he would rather die than surrender to Cao, which is still quite a tricky matter. ”
Cai Mao's face immediately became gloomy, and he said hatefully: "This old thing is really hard, I told my sister to put medicine in his meals for more than half a year, and he can still survive until now!" But he just doesn't close his eyes, and it's really a bit difficult to do. ”
Kuai Yue sneered and said, "What's so difficult about this, what is there to scruple about now, if you don't do it, you won't stop-"
"What do you mean......" Kuai Yue didn't finish his words, Cai Mao had already comprehended it, and with a slash of his palm across his neck, he made a decapitation motion.
Kuai Yue smiled and said: "Xiangyang is a general's cronies, and both inside and outside Jingzhou know that Zhou Mu is seriously ill, let's secretly push him, who will be suspicious." ”
Cai Mao paced back and forth, as if hesitating, after all, now Jingzhou is not his Cai family covering the sky, in such an extremely complex internal and external situation, what kind of consequences Liu Biao's death will cause, this is not easy to predict.
Seeing that he was hesitating, Kuai Yue snorted coldly and said, "Why, General Cai is also like your little nephew, and he will be timid when it comes to a critical moment." ”
Under Kuai Yue's sarcasm, Cai Mao gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly: "What is there to be afraid of, as long as I can save my family name and protect the interests of the Cai family, I Cai Mao will do anything!" ”
――――――――
When Xiangyang City was shrouded in conspiracy, and the state pastoral mansion was in chaos, Zhuge Liang's home was no better.
After most of the day's tossing, everything that could be cleaned up at home was almost cleaned up, and it was all piled up in the backyard.
It was almost late at night, Zhuge Liang returned to the mansion, and when he saw the luggage piled up in the courtyard, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and said loudly: "What's going on, was our house stolen by thieves?" ”
Huang Yueying and Fang Shao, who were waiting in the hall, hurriedly greeted her, and Huang Yueying said: "Lang Jun, you are finally back, our family has not entered the thief, I didn't prepare in advance, so as not to be in a hurry." ”
"Ready? What to prepare? Zhuge Liang looked confused.
Huang Yueying said: "Fang Shao said, Cao Ying's army has already moved south, and we have to evacuate to the south sooner or later, so I also asked someone to pack up my things." ”
Zhuge Liang suddenly realized, the feather fan pointed at Fang Shao, and said with a wry smile: "You, you, you have a crow's mouth, and bad things can always be told to you." ”
Fang Shao smiled and said, "Listening to what Mr. means, it seems that this time I am right, is the lord already planning to lead the people to retreat south?" ”
Zhuge Liang sighed: "Although the lord has not publicly stated it, but judging from his trip to Xiangyang, Liu Jingsheng's limit is close at hand, and the great enemy is current, but Liu Cong's spirit is still focused on plotting the lord. ”
Fang Shao was excited, and said: "Sir, why sigh, isn't the current situation exactly according to the development of what you and I envisioned when I was in Longzhong Thatched Cottage, the opportunity for the lord has come, and the show has just begun." ”
Zhuge Liang was stunned, then laughed and said, "You're right, the show has just begun." ”
