Chapter 365: The Great Fire of Xiangyang
readx;?“ No, the Tiger Talisman is not on me! ”
Liu Qi's eyes flickered, and while denying it, he reflexively pressed his hand to his chest. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's so simple!
Liu Bei shook his head gently, whether Liu Qi had a tiger talisman on his body or not, he had already known it in his heart.
"Master Qi, I promised to Jingsheng Gong to keep you safe for the rest of your life, so ...... As long as you hand over the Tiger Talisman, Bei will never hurt you in the slightest! ”
Things have come to this point, and Liu Bei has finally shed his disguise.
Right now, he is only one step away from controlling Jingzhou, which makes his heart become extremely hot, although he is still angry about Xu Shu's self-assertion in his heart, but the wood is already in the boat, where is he willing to give up the fat that has been sent to his mouth?
"Kill, !!"
At this time, a noisy shouting and killing sound suddenly sounded in the distance, Liu Bei and the others were all shocked, it was obvious that Xinye's army should have entered Xiangyang City at this moment.
"Uncle Zhi, go out and have a look!" Liu Bei ordered in a slightly cold tone.
"No!" Chen Zhi nodded, opened the door and peeked, and saw that there was no one left and right, so he slipped out.
In the east of Xiangyang City, taking advantage of the laxity of the defenders, Zhang Fei led a hundred cavalry to launch a surprise attack, and seized the city gate at the first time, Guan Yu and Xu Shu led the army to arrive later, and easily controlled the east wall of Xiangyang City.
Capture the thief and capture the king, Xu Shu did not divide his troops to capture the rest of the city gates, but led the troops straight to the state pastor's mansion, his goal is very clear, as long as he can control Liu Biao, the entire Xiangyang City, will naturally surrender without a fight.
"Second general, third general, military division!!"
On the way to Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Xu Shu leading the troops to the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, Chen Zhi rushed out of the streets and alleys and shouted to the three of them.
Seeing that the person who came was Chen Dao, the three of them were all happy, Guan Yu hurriedly asked: "Uncle came just in time, what about my eldest brother?" ”
Chen Zhi said: "The lord is very safe. It's hiding in a small courtyard not far away, just ...... The mood seems to be very bad. ”
As soon as Chen said this, Guan Zhang and the others were stunned, and then turned their heads to look at Xu Shu.
Xu Shu smiled bitterly: "Shu has long been mentally prepared for this. Now that time is pressing, the two generals Guan Zhang should rush to the state pastor mansion to control Liu Biao, and then follow General Chen to ask the lord for guilt! ”
Chen Zhi shook his head and said: "The military advisor doesn't know, that Liu Biao died of illness half an hour ago, and he is going to the state pastor's mansion at this moment." It doesn't mean much anymore! ”
"What!? How so!? Xu Shu's face changed when he heard this, he really didn't expect that Liu Biao would die so coincidentally.
Originally, in Xu Shu's plan, he wanted Liu Bei to control Xiangyang under the guise of entering the city of King Qin, and then put all the charges on the Cai family, saying that they secretly took refuge in Jinfan and wanted to rebel, so that although there would be some criticism, as long as they controlled Liu Biao. How to claim to the outside world, it's not up to them to have the final say? But now, with Liu Biao's death, his original plan has had to be adjusted.
"Strategist, Liu Biao died of illness during the lord's visit, and the evil woman of the Cai family has been charged with the lord's head, we must respond as soon as possible, otherwise the lord's reputation will be unfavorable!"
Xu Shu thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "I already have a plan in my heart about this matter. Second general, you and lead a team of men to control the state pastor's mansion, you must not let Cai's mother and son escape, and the third general will lead the troops to confiscate the Cai family. For today's plan, we must reverse the charges back to the Cai family, so that it is possible to clear the suspicion for the lord, in addition, the Xiangyang treasury is also quite important, so it will be seized by the two generals Zhou Cang and Liao Hua! ”
Xu Shu issued a series of tasks in an orderly manner. Then he returned to the small courtyard with Chen Zhi and pleaded guilty to Liu Bei.
Looking at Xu Shu, who was kneeling on the ground and being disposed of, Liu Bei, who was full of indignation, opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to blame for a while.
Since the beginning of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Liu Bei has been wandering in this troubled world for nearly 20 years, even if he has a peerless tiger general like Zhang, but the result is still nothing, the reason is that there is no wise strategist under his command, so after Xu Shu took refuge, Liu Bei treated him very well, after all, in some aspects, even if Guan Zhang is added together, it may not be as important as Xu Shu alone.
It is no exaggeration to say that Liu Bei's eyes can only rely on Xu Shu, in this case, how can he really punish Xu Shu? What's more, everything Xu Shu is doing now is not for his sake?
"Lord, look!!"
Just as Liu Bei was entangled in his heart and didn't know what to do, Chen Zhi's shout resolved the embarrassment in time.
"That's ...... Blaze!? Looking at the raging smoke burning in the northwest, Xu Shu's pupils shrank, and his face changed greatly, "It's not good, that's the direction of the Xiangyang Mansion!" ”
"What!?" Hearing this, Liu Bei also changed color suddenly, after all, if there was no mountain of grain, grass and weapons in Xiangyang City, even if he controlled the 30,000 Jingzhou army outside the city, he would not be able to supply such a huge consumption.
"Quick, follow me to put out the fire!"
At this time, Liu Bei didn't care about punishing Xu Shu, but led everyone to quickly rush towards the burning treasury.
"Big brother!!"
Along the way, Liu Bei happened to meet Guan Yu, who led the troops to come.
Seeing Guan Yu, Xu Shu was surprised: "General Guan, why are you here?" Could it be that Cai's mother and son ......"
Guan Yu nodded helplessly: "When Yu arrived at the State Pastoral Mansion, it was already empty!" ”
"Damn, is it still a step too late?" Hearing this, Xu Shu's face suddenly became extremely solemn, "That's it, don't care so much now, it's still important to put out the fire!" ”
However, when Liu Bei and others arrived at the treasury, the sky-high flames were no longer capable of being extinguished by manpower, although Zhou Cang, Liao Hua and others were already leading their troops to fight the fire, but even if they made themselves disgraced, the fire still did not decrease.
“…… Lord, the fire here is out of control, and the top priority is to split and isolate the surrounding buildings as soon as possible, so as to continue to spread with fire prevention! Taking a deep breath, Xu Shu accepted this cruel reality as quickly as possible and suggested to Liu Bei.
"......" Liu Bei was silent for a moment, then nodded with difficulty, "Yun Chang, do as Yuan Zhi instructs." ”
"No!"
Guan Yu answered, led the troops away, Liu Bei tilted his head to look at Xu Shu, and asked: "Yuan Zhi, now that the treasury is burning, I can't continue to wait for grain and grass, what should I do?" ”
Xu Shu pondered for a moment and said: "The Cai family is the first family in Xiangyang, and the family reserves must be abundant. ”
Liu Bei said bitterly: "That's it, let's go to Yide's side first!" (To be continued.) )
