In the scorching sun, Cai Mao nodded and followed behind Liu Zhang, sweating profusely and not noticing.

"Uncle Huang, don't you know, when you were in Yizhou, I thought Jingzhou should give way to you, why? It is the unshirkable responsibility of every Han people to crusade against them. What's more, Liu Biao is also the emperor uncle of the Han Dynasty, so he really makes me feel cold, compared with the emperor uncle, it is a dragon compared to a bedbug.

When you were in Jiangling, I felt that you were the real lord of Jingzhou, and I had planned to return to heaven for a long time, but Liu Biao and Xu Shu didn't let me, so I was anxious...... Especially Sima Hui's old thing, he strongly persuaded Liu Biao, saying that Xu Shu has any power, and he can fight against you, Uncle Huang, it is simply a fantasy that shakes the tree.

What's the matter now, dead, right? Something that is beyond one's own strength.

Uncle Huang, don't blame me Cai Mao for speaking straight, when Baichuan, I knew that Uncle Huang was mighty, and he retreated, when he was in Xiangyang, I refused to transfer troops to Xu Shu, and I was loyal to Uncle Huang, and now that Uncle Huang is coming to Xiangyang, I can't help it anymore, even if I am infamous for eternity and spurned by thousands of fools, I will hand over Xiangyang to the real benevolent lord, and history will prove that I Cai Mao is right. ”

Liu Zhang listened to Cai Mao's words with enjoyment, nodded again and again, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and praised: "General Cai is really brave and loyal, but this official has two questions, how did Chen Sheng escape, and isn't the governor of the Jingzhou Navy General Cai?" How could Zhang Yun take all the water army away? ”

"Oops." Cai Mao slapped his face violently, and said with a sad and indignant face: "Speaking of this, I'm angry, that Chen Shenggou is bold, and he cut off the emperor's uncle's arm in Caisangpo, which should be broken and scattered, I have long wanted to behead him all over the house, but I just thought that it would be better for the imperial uncle to execute him in person, and I, Cai Mao, was careful and kind, so I locked him up."

But who would have thought that when I was busy greeting Uncle Huang, the remnants of Chen Sheng's Crouching Tiger Mountain actually robbed him, and Zhang Yun took advantage of the chaos to abduct and take away the navy army in the city, which is really infuriating.

Uncle Huang rest assured, our Cai family up and down, fully support Uncle Huang, the four imperial examinations, land order, duty, given time, will definitely exterminate Chen Sheng Zhang Yun two thieves, I Cai Mao is willing to be the pioneer of Uncle Huang, this time we Cai's family, for Uncle Huang preserved 17 warehouses of weapons, eight warehouses of grain, treasury ......"

Liu Zhang listened absentmindedly to Cai Mao's loyalty, and suddenly saw a memorial arch in front of him, with more than a dozen corpses hanging on the left and right, his brows furrowed, and before he could speak, Cai Mao immediately said: "Xu Shu dares to offend the emperor's uncle Tianwei, and break the emperor's uncle's soldiers in Baichuan, I, Cai Mao, simply want to sleep on its skin, eat its flesh and peel its bones, this is the corpse of Xu Shu's family, does the emperor's uncle want to whip the corpse or break the corpse?" I can do it. ”

Li Yan looked at the corpse hanging on the archway, in just two days, the corpse had stinked under the scorching sun, his face was blurred, thinking of the past with Xu Shu, he couldn't help but feel sad, and said to Liu Zhang: "Lord, can Li Yan bury Xu Shu's family?" ”

Liu Zhang looked at the dead corpses, took a breath, and said in a deep voice: "Accurate." ”

"Thank you, Lord." Li Yan turned around and took two steps, hesitated for a moment, and then turned back and said, "Lord, Li Yan, please behead the Xiangyang Sima clan." ”

As soon as he thought of Xu Shu's always sad face, Li Yan couldn't help but feel hatred, Sima Hui said that he wanted to protect Xu Shu's family, but now he let Xu Shu's whole family be violently here, Sima never said a word for Xu Shu, and now Sima Hui has also run away.

Sima Hui left, but the Sima family did not go away, and Li Yan was eager to arrest and kill all the people of the Sima family.

All the generals looked at Liu Zhang, especially Cai Mao, although he still had a flattering smile on his face, his eyes were staring motionlessly.

Liu Zhang exhaled a breath and said slowly: "Bury Xu Shu's family first." ”

Li Yan's face was disappointed, and he agreed to leave.

"This Xu Shu has repeatedly opposed Uncle Huang, if it weren't for him, Uncle Huang would have entered Xiangyang earlier, why would he bury his family?" Cai Mao asked tentatively.

Cai Mao was right this time, if it weren't for Xu Shu, the Sichuan army would have entered Xiangyang a long time ago, Liu Zhang smiled and said: "With so many corpses here, isn't General Cai afraid of contracting diseases?" This can greatly affect the appearance of the city, since you did it, you will be fined a hundred taels of gold. ”

"City ...... City. Cai Mao didn't react yet, gritted his teeth and said, "Yes." "One hundred taels of gold is not a small amount, Cai Mao secretly hates, this Liu Zhang is really open.

"Didn't you say my old brother was sick? Take me to see it. ”

"This ...... This ...... "Cai Mao is embarrassed, Liu Biao is not sick at all, isn't this deceiving Liu Zhang?" If you go to see it, it's still not exposed?

………… Cai Mao nervously followed Liu Zhang, only to feel that Liu Zhang, who was walking in front of the side, was shrouded in killing intent all over his body, wrapping himself in a group, and every step could bring his heartbeat.

The two maids stood outside the bead curtain and bowed, Liu Zhang lifted the curtain and entered, and Cai Maoxin raised his throat.

The room was full of the smell of medicine residue, an open medicine jar fell to the ground, a half-drunk medicine bowl was placed on the coffee table, Liu Biao on the bed was dying, his face was sallow, his breathing was heavy and slow, and it seemed that he was going to die soon.

Cai sat on the edge of the bed, gently beating Liu Biao's back, his eyes were red, and he seemed to have just cried.

Liu Zhang frowned, Cai Mao finally breathed a sigh of relief, looked at her own sister with admiration, and only felt that her sister was really careful and expected the enemy to take the lead.

Liu Zhang called the military doctor Aguda to take a look at Liu Biao, and shook his head, meaning that it was indeed a serious illness, and he could not treat it.

"The angular muscles of the eyes are related to the five organs, and the tongue coating represents the six viscera, and the internal organs of Liu Biao seem to be infected, and there is no obstacle to life, but it is difficult to cure."

After Aguda finished speaking, he went out, Liu Zhang looked at Liu Biao on the hospital bed, waved his hand to his entourage, and Cai Mao and the others retreated.

"Madame, let's go down first, I have something to say to Brother Jingsheng." Liu Zhang said to Cai.

Cai Shi bowed, didn't say anything, and exited the room, leaving only a powerful person in the room.

Liu Zhang sat down in the position where Cai's had done, looked at Liu Biao, whose eyes were cloudy, and said lightly: "Brother, we met again, do you remember the original Baichuan teatable narrative?" ”

Liu Biao waved his hand weakly, dragging a long tail and said, "Brother Xian, you won." ”

Liu Biao's eyes looked at the gray-white tent roof, as if he had returned to the day of Baichuan, he was angry about losing his land, and he only hated the loss of his son, but he didn't dare to really fight against Liu Zhang in his heart.

After the teatable narrated, his laughter seemed to be heard now, but he could still ride a horse at the beginning, but now he only had his last breath left, as if he was in a different world.

"Brother, what are your plans for the future?" Liu Zhang asked.

Liu Biao smiled bitterly: "What can I do, isn't my life in the hands of my virtuous brother?" Now that he is terminally ill, his days are numbered, how can he deal with it, in fact, I want to ask, what are the plans of the virtuous brother. ”

Liu Biao said and sighed, when people get sick, it will be easier to fall into memories, Liu Biao seems to remember the scene when he entered Jingzhou on horseback, gathered some clans, and conquered thieves from all over the world, and how high-spirited he was, now that I think about it, it was still the most cheerful time.

In the following years, Jingzhou prospered and was peaceful, sitting and watching the chaos in the north of the Central Plains and Jiangdong, chanting poems and writing poems in the pastoral mansion every day, appreciating flowers and making the moon, and now I can't remember it at all, as if the memories of the past few years have disappeared.

In the end, I still prefer the battlefield, but aging and comfort have fallen into everything.

But now it's too late to regret it, and Liu Zhang is still in his prime, Liu Biao wants to hear it, Liu Zhang's future road, maybe the road ahead of Liu Zhang, is the road he has always wanted to take, but he didn't dare to take.

"I don't have any plans, just like I told my brother in Shirakawa at the beginning, it has never changed, and it will not change in the future."

Liu Biao's vision on the hospital bed was blurred, and at the beginning of Bai Chuan, Liu Zhang's determined expression clearly came to mind.

"But let me tell you, no matter what I am doing in Jingzhou, I will definitely save the Son of Heaven, and I will definitely rebuild the Han family, a brand new Han family...... So what? My hegemony is tied to the prosperity of the Han family, and my hegemony is the hegemony of the Han world...... Liu Biao, you are one of the most powerful princes in the world, but you are also the most sloppy prince, do you think you deserve the land of Jingzhou? ……”

Liu Zhang's words were still clear in Liu Biao's ears, Liu Biao smiled dismally, and said with difficulty: "Brother Xian, although you won, it doesn't mean that you really won, you won me, but you may not win the princes of the world, you look at the land you have come all the way, Jingnan has become a ruin, the people of Liangjiang are not living, ancient Xiangyang no longer exists, you have not entered Xiangyang, the people of Xiangyang have fled nearly 100,000, you go on like this, how far can you go?" ”

Liu Biao let out a sigh of relief and said slowly: "Brother Xian, I hate you deeply, my Jingzhou foundation was destroyed in your hands, and the eldest son Liu Qi was also forced to die by you, I don't share the sky with you, but you and I are both descendants of the Han Queen, if the virtuous brother can help the Han Dynasty, he will be happy for his brother, and even, he can put aside the hatred of losing his son and surrender to the land, after all, they are all of the same bloodline, and they should support each other in the autumn of the Han family's peril.

For the elder brother, the virtuous brother is wise and strategic, and he is willing to use the hand of the virtuous brother to show his life's ambitions, but virtuous brother, look at what you have done? You quelled the civil strife, went down to Hanzhong, went out of Jingnan, crossed the two rivers, what a hero, can't you see that the world is the backbone of my Han Dynasty? My Han Dynasty has lasted for 400 years and has gone through great turmoil, especially when Wang Mang usurped power, which time did not rely on the clan to reorganize the country?

As long as the clan is here, no matter how noisy the people are, they are just clowns, the clan has absolute power, loyalty first, and they can be easily suppressed.

But what are you doing now? ”
