As soon as they walked to the door between the atrium and the **, Cai Huan greeted him, rushed all the way to Cai Mao's body, hugged his arm and shook it vigorously, pouted, "Why did you come to pick me up?" ”

Cai Mao was very embarrassed, hurriedly pushed Cai Huan away, and said urgently: "Don't make trouble, I'm not here to pick you up, I have official business." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Humph! You have married me off, and you will leave me alone. Cai Huan stomped his feet, twisted his body and left, leaving Liu Biao and Cai Mao there, Cai Mao looked at Liu Biao: "Envoy, this ...... There is no way to teach the family, it is really ashamed and ashamed, and it is ashamed to let the envoy suffer. ”

Liu Biao stroked his beard, smiled and shook his head: "No, this is what she should have at her age, it's okay, it's okay, looking at her, I feel that I'm still young." Hahaha......"

Cai Mao had no choice but to laugh twice, Liu Biao was a person with a wide exterior and a taboo inside, and he didn't know if this was the truth or the scene, so he had to smirk twice. However, Liu Biao is forty-three years old this year, much older than him, and Cai Huan is only thirteen years old, this gap is indeed big enough, it is basically a generation, Liu Biao spoils her a little, it is not impossible.

Entering the inner court, Liu Biao's wife Wang had already prepared a family banquet and had a meal together. During the banquet, Liu Biao and Cai Mao talked and laughed, Cai Huan and Wang also got along very well, Cai Huan came to Wang's side from time to time and muttered a few words, and then laughed. Cai Mao saw it, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

After dinner, Cai Mao came to Cai Huan's courtyard, and as soon as she entered the door, the smile on Cai Huan's face disappeared without a trace, and she ran up to the hall with a pout, twisted her body and sat on the couch, pouting, ignoring Cai Mao. Cai Mao laughed with her, "Little sister, I know I have wronged you, but this is also something that cannot be helped." Look at the Cai family, big and small, men and women. Which one is at ease? ”

"But you can't be so ruthless and marry me to an old man." Cai Huan's nose was sour, and tears rolled down: "Why can my eldest sister marry the person she likes, why can't I?" I still married with my eldest sister at the beginning. ”

"What nonsense." Cai Mao was taken aback. Hurriedly covered Cai Huan's mouth: "Be quiet, it's not good for Liu Yuanjun to hear it." ”

"I'm not afraid." Cai Huan took Cai Mao's hand: "You take me back, I'm homesick." ”

"Nonsense, you're married, how can you go back casually?" Cai Mao lowered her face and roared.

"You know how to yell at me!" Cai Huan jumped up, stomped his feet and said, "I knew you lied to me, and you gave me as a gift." If you send it, you don't care. ”

"Shut up!" Cai Mao was really anxious, and he lowered his face and sighed. He also regretted it a little, but it was too late to regret it, and it was not a good thing to let Cai Huan's temperament come at this time. "You give me a reminder, don't cause trouble for the Cai family, or ......"

Cai Huan was startled, stared at Cai Mao with a pair of big eyes, and looked at Cai Mao pitifully. Cai Mao's heart softened. sighed and sat down next to her: "Okay, okay, I've been very busy these two days." I don't have time to pick you up, and when I'm done with this meal, I'll ask your third brother to pick you up and go back for a few days. ”

"Is it Yizhou?" Cai Huan's eyes rolled: "I heard that Liu Cheqi is attacking Hanzhong, is he already successful and is going to attack Jingzhou again?" ”

"How can it be so fast, Hanzhong is not so easy to fight." Cai Mao scratched his head: "Yuan Shu is attacking so tightly, he doesn't know when he sent another surprise army to occupy Yufu, and he can't tell when he will attack Jiangling." ”

"How so?"

"Not really." Cai Mao sighed, "This is still a trivial matter, and it is your brother-in-law who is more troublesome." The envoy wanted to invite him and gave me the task, but your brother-in-law didn't give me any face, and I was sad to death. You sisters, you don't have to worry at all. ”

"He's going to ask for a brother-in-law? Hmph, dreaming. Cai Huan snorted. Disdainful: "You don't have to do much, I tell you, my brother-in-law will definitely not come." ”

"Why?" Cai Mao asked puzzled.

"You don't want to think about what kind of person your brother-in-law is, what kind of person he is, what kind of person he is, what kind of eight jun he is, but what else does he have besides a good skin? What kind of world is this, he doesn't have to do something serious, he talks about scriptures and art with Song Zhongzi and Qi Wuhong every day, and kills time. Like him, sooner or later he will have to hand over Jingzhou to others. I said big brother, you sent me to the wrong person, my sister's life has been ruined by you. ”

Cai Mao raised his eyebrows, and he didn't speak for a long time, he felt that although Cai Huan's words were ugly, they were really right, and this marriage seemed to be a little hasty. He remembered Kuai Liang's plan again, if he could persuade Liu Biao to return to the imperial court, maybe there would be a turnaround, otherwise with Liu Biao's character, he would be killed sooner or later. Yuan Shu is not a good person, Liu Yan of Yizhou is not a good person, and the general Liu Xiu is a smiling tiger who eats people and does not spit out bones. However, it is said that the people who cooperated with Liu Xiu have made a fortune, if ...... It's a pity, it's a pity.

Cai Mao secretly regretted herself, and when she saw Cai Huan's eyes shining brightly, she hurriedly coughed in disguise: "You said that your brother-in-law will definitely not come, is this the reason?" ”

"Of course, although my brother-in-law reads a lot, what he doesn't like the most is Confucianism, what kind of people do you think he comes and goes, how many of them are rotten Confucians like Liu Biao?"

"And what does he like?"

"Hehe, I can't tell you this, the eldest sister said it, and no one can say it." Cai Huan pursed his lips proudly, and his eyes rolled: "Otherwise, if you take me back to Xiangyang, you will say that I will go to see my eldest sister, and by the way, I will help him invite my brother-in-law, okay?" ”

"Didn't you say your brother-in-law wouldn't come, so what else would you invite?"

"He won't come now, but he will come sooner or later." Cai Huan sold a pass, clenched his small fist, and jumped twice. "You've already mistaken me once, this time, I can't listen to you anymore, I have to find a way out for myself."

Cai Mao glanced at her and couldn't help but smile. He thought about it, explained Kuailiang's strategy, and instructed: "If you really want to find a good way out for yourself, you can persuade him, obey the court, at least there will be no major disaster." ”

…… Liu Fan finished reading Liu Mao's autographed letter, he was stunned, he didn't know how things could have turned out like this, did Liu Xiu have wings, actually flew through Hanzhong, and directly took Yizhou? However, he knew his brother's handwriting and knew that it would not be wrong, although he was reluctant, he did not have the courage to fight to the death. He invited Pang Xi. showed Liu Mao's letter to him, and Pang Xi was speechless for a while.

"It's come to this, it's useless to think too much, let's withdraw first. Give the army to Liu Xiu's people, and we will go back to Chengdu first. ”

Pang Xi frowned: "What about Xicheng?" ”

Liu Fan asked rhetorically: "Does this still have anything to do with me?" ”

Pang Xi smiled bitterly, he knew that Liu Fan was a broken jar, since Yizhou had nothing to do with his family, Yuan Shu couldn't get Hanzhong, and he didn't care. But he can't do this, Liu Yan is a clan. Liu Xiu will save him some face, and he is nothing, even if he doesn't want to be an official in Yizhou, he can't offend Liu Xiu, offend Liu Xiu, the world is so big, I'm afraid there is no place for him, unless he goes to Yuan Shu or Yuan Shao.

And he didn't want to do that.

"You go back first. I withdrew with my army to the Meridian Valley, waiting for the handover. ”

Liu Fan glanced at him and pursed his lips. Not even to say that he was interested. He handed over the military power to Pang Xi, only took a few retinues, and rushed back to Nanzheng, preparing to return to Chengdu with his brother Liu Dan.

Liu Bei got the news of Liu Fan's retreat and hurriedly rushed to the city to check. Qin Jie and Bao Hong soon rushed over, looking at the Yizhou Navy Division warship that gradually disappeared behind the mountain, they looked at each other and laughed in unison: "Liu Xiu sent troops?" ”

"It must be, it must be Liu Xiu's troops." Bao Hong shouted, patting Liu Bei's shoulder excitedly. I forgot that he and Liu Bei had always been at odds. "What are we going to do? Do you chase it over, or do you go straight to Ba County? ”

Qin Jie looked at Liu Bei with a smile: "Xuande, what do you think should be done?" ”

Liu Bei couldn't suppress the joy in his heart: "I think it's good to go to Ba County." If we go to Nanzheng, we will definitely meet the main force of Guanzhong, and we will follow behind, Liu Fan and they will not be able to go all out to deal with the Guanzhong army. Instead, we did the Che Rider General a favor. It's better to go to Ba County, and take advantage of Liu Yan's inability to take care of it, seize Ba County, maybe you can occupy Ba County. In this way, Ji Ling's side will be safer. ”

Qin Jie agreed, Bao Hong had no objection, they immediately prepared, on the one hand sent people to follow Liu Fan to inquire about the news, and on the other hand told Yuan Shu the news, so that he would immediately send a large army to respond and prepare to fully occupy Ba County.

Two days later, Liu Bei and Bao Hong crossed Daba Mountain with an army of 4,000 and broke into Ba County, and just as they were hurrying to Xuanhan, they caught a messenger on the way, only to know that Yizhou had changed hands and Liu Xiu had arrived in Chengdu.

Liu Bei was stupid at the time, he didn't react for a long time, as soon as Bao Hong heard the news, after a short period of confusion, he suddenly jumped up, pointed at Liu Bei and scolded: "Big ears, are you cheating Lao Tzu?" While scolding, he drew a knife and slashed, Liu Bei was caught off guard, and he was slashed in the shoulder, and blood flowed everywhere. Liu Bei was also on fire, he was full of joy and ready to make a great contribution, he never thought that Liu Xiu had taken Yizhou unconsciously, although he asked the messenger three times, and also saw the content of the official letter, but he still couldn't accept this fact. Bao Hong suddenly attacked, and also slashed him, which just triggered his violence, his brain was hot, he roared, and drew his knife to fight back.

Liu Bei's martial arts skills are not obvious in front of Liu Xiu, Xu Yu and others, but for Bao Hong, he is really a master. He slashed Bao Hong's war knife with the first knife, slashed Bao Hong's thigh with the second knife, and put the third knife on Bao Hong's neck.

Bao Hong's face turned pale with fright, but when he saw that Liu Bei hesitated and didn't seem to dare to cut it down, he became angry again and scolded: "Big ears, kill me if you have a kind, and see how General Yuan lets you go when the time comes." ”

Liu Bei was scolded by him, anger rose from his heart, evil to the side of the gall, with a wave of his arm, the sharp knife cut Bao Hong's throat, he kicked Bao Hong to the ground, wiped the blood on the knife in Bao Hong's chest, and sneered: "The world is so big, where can Lao Tzu go, do you have to give him his life?" Killing you is nothing more than killing a dog, what's the big deal. ”

Bao Hong covered his neck with a gushing amount of blood, stared at Liu Bei with a hideous face, spit out a mouthful of blood, and was out of breath on the spot. Liu Bei glanced at Bao Hong's guards coldly, and waved his hand: "Kill them all!" ”

As soon as Jian Yong saw Liu Bei counterattacking, he realized that something was wrong, and he had already called the guards to prepare, and at this time, the guards rushed up and slashed several guards brought by Bao Hong to the ground.

Ask for recommendations! Ask for a commuter pass...... As soon as they walked to the atrium and the *** door, Cai Huan greeted him, rushed all the way to Cai Mao's body, hugged his arm and shook it vigorously, pouted and said, "Why did you come to pick me up?" ”

Cai Mao was very embarrassed, hurriedly pushed Cai Huan away, and said urgently: "Don't make trouble, I'm not here to pick you up, I have official business." ”
