"Liu Jingzhou is really Liu Jingzhou, General Ben was almost deceived by you, if you are prepared, how can you be besieged by General Ben? Tonight, it is the time for Xiangyang to return to Cao! Lu Rui saw that Liu Biao had already been tricked, so he took the opportunity to add a few fires into it, so that Cai Mao, the charge of Erwuzai, could not be quibbled.

"General Zhengbei is so confident? Yes, Cai Mao is the governor of Jingzhou, if he wants to launch a mutiny, it is very likely that he will take my Jingzhou City, but please don't forget the general, I am the pastor of Jingzhou! Now that the four gates have been closed, Cai Mao's army outside the city can't enter the city, it won't take a moment, I can control Xiangyang City, please put down the general, the old man wants to talk to the general. Liu Biao shook his head, it seems that the possibility of Cai Mao's backlash has increased again. If Cai Mao really rebelled, his Jingzhou would definitely not be able to be saved, and the life of his heirs would be the most important thing at that time.

"Liu Jingzhou, it's useless to talk more, it's just that Liu Jingzhou doesn't have the capital to make peace with me, if the Metropolitan Governor fails, I will talk to Liu Jingzhou, now it seems that there is no need for this!" Lu Rui waved the long sword in his hand, allowing the man in black to shrink Liu Biao's encirclement.

"Liu Jingzhou, persuade your people to lay down their weapons, otherwise, General Ben will not have such good patience." Lu Rui glared angrily and threatened Liu Biao.

"Put away your weapons, I want to see who wins and who loses today!" Liu Biao waved his hand, signaling that Wenwu did not need to resist. At this time, Kuai Liang, who was on the side, wiped the sweat on his forehead with his cuffs, which was a code for Lu Rui, and Liu Biao was still suspicious of Cai Mao's rebellion.

What a Liu Jingsheng! The scheming city is really powerful, it's all at this time, and I'm still calmly thinking about Cai Mao's anti-water. Just now, if you don't coerce Liu Biao. It's almost exposed. Liu Biao was testing my confidence just now!

At this time. Inside the city of Xiangyang. Cai Mao led thousands of sergeants straight to the Taishou Mansion and confronted the people hired in front of the Taishou Mansion.

"Zhongye? Why are you? Seeing that Wen Ping actually surrounded his people with a large army, Cai Mao was furious, what is Wen Ping's identity, and he dared to stop himself?

"Dadu Governor, Taishou Mansion was raided by Cao Jun, and now the state pastor has been captured by thieves, please stop Dadu Governor." Wen Ping arched his hand. Explain to Cai Mao. Wen Ping received instructions from Liu Biao very early on, and Cai Mao may have turned against the water and wanted to control Cai Mao's people outside the Taishou Mansion.

"Stop? What do you mean? The lord is besieged, you are still here to defend yourself, I think you are a traitor, colluding with Kuai Yue Kuailiang and plotting against me Jingzhou! Cai Mao pulled out his long sword and pointed at Wen Ping.

"Dadu Governor, you are so majestic, but Dadu Governor mobilized the army privately. To control the four doors, I don't know how this is to the main bus generation? Wen Ping also drew his long sword. Pointing at Cai Mao.

What the? Cai Mao was stunned in her heart, could it be that Liu Biao had already known that Lu Rui would do it, and his real purpose was not Lu Rui, but to test me? Or is there another possibility, it's a conspiracy? Thinking of this, Cai Mao was stunned, this situation has to be thought about carefully.

Wen Ping saw that Cai Mao had stopped, and he was also puzzled in his heart, all these things were too sudden, to say that Cai Mao rebelled, it was possible, but it was unlikely. Now that Cai Mao has stopped, he can't strike first, anyway, Liu Biao's purpose is just to stop Cai Mao's army.

Cai Mao and Wen Ping are talented people in Jingzhou and can control their temper, but Cai Zhong and Cai He outside the city are mediocre talents, and they can't control their inner desires at all.

"The two generals stopped, and they were polite." Cai Zhong and Cai He rushed to the outside of Xiangyang City with Cai Mao's army, but Liu Pan blocked the city gate and stopped them outside the city gate.

"Iwakoshi?" Cai He and Cai Zhong were stunned for a moment, how could Liu Pan appear here, shouldn't he be guarding Changsha?

"The two generals, under the order of the lord to block the four gates, no one is allowed to enter the city without the lord's hand, please the two generals lead the troops back to the barracks." Liu Pan shouted above the city tower and told Cai He and Cai Zhong.

"This?" Cai He and Cai Zhong were stunned for a moment, Liu Pan's appearance here really surprised the two. Could it be that this so-called Cao Jun incident was not aimed at the Cao army on the other side, but at his own Cai family?

In fact, if Cai Mao was here, he would definitely not move, so that Xiangyang's roommates would be avoided, but unfortunately outside the city, Cai He and Cai Zhong, two people who were greedy for small profits.

"The eldest brother is still in the city, we have all led the troops here, if we don't enter the city, won't we be calculated by the lord?" Cai He glanced at Cai Zhong, now there is no chance to distinguish the truth of the matter, if the Cai family does not control the overall situation, I am afraid that they will be liquidated by Liu Biao.

"Yes! Let's storm the city and answer the big brother! Cai Zhong pulled out his long sword and waved his hand, letting the army attack the city.

"Okay, you Cai family, I don't want my father to treat you like this, you really want to rebel!"

"Wave the flag, let our ambush soldiers come out!" When Liu Pan saw Cai Zhong and Cai He making a move, he was not to be outdone, and let Huang Zhong and Wei Yan's ambush soldiers go out, attacking Cai Zhong and Cai He on both sides.

"There is an ambush? Fight, today is either the death of the Cai family, or the Cai family enters Jingzhou! Cai Zhong and Cai He did not panic when they saw the ambush, Cai Zhong was responsible for attacking the city, and Cai He led the troops to resist the ambush.

Cao Ang, who was in Jiangbei, soon received the news of the fierce battle outside Xiangyang, and Cao Ang hurriedly convened the civil and military forces to discuss countermeasures.

"Strategist, what do you say is going on?" Cao Ang was also uncertain about the sudden information, he was originally cultivating here and waiting for Cao Cao's army, but now that Cao Cao's army has not arrived, Jingzhou will be in civil strife first?

Seeing Cao Ang asking himself, Man Zhong also lowered his head, thinking about everything that happened outside Jingzhou City. Needless to say, something must have happened inside Jingzhou, otherwise the soldiers stationed outside Jingzhou and the soldiers in the city would not have clashed, or even met each other.

Now Lu Rui must have used a trick to make a certain conflict within Jingzhou, but this conflict has not expanded, according to intelligence feedback, only Cai Mao's pro-army and Liu Biao's pro-army have clashed, and the coastal naval army is still stepping up patrols to prevent Cao's army from crossing south.

"Lord Vice-Chancellor, pet speculates that Master Hou must have a plan in Jingzhou, so there is a situation in Jingzhou where the same room is fighting, and we should immediately reorganize the army now. Attack Xiangyang. Full of favor arched his hand and replied to Cao Ang. Although I don't know what Lu Rui's plan is. But now that there is civil strife in Jingzhou, as long as his army is dispatched, he will definitely be able to establish a permanent camp in the south of the river, so that the Yangtze River natural danger does not exist.

"Well, according to the words of the military advisor, the army was ordered to build a pontoon bridge and cross the Yangtze River. Attack Xiangyang! ”

"No!"

Jingshui in the north of Xiangyang is one of the sources of the Yangtze River, Jingshui in the Xiangyang area is the only barrier in the north of Xiangyang, but this barrier is an ant-like barrier compared to the Yangtze River in Jiangxia or Chaisang, because the width of Jingshui is not large, in some narrow places as long as a five-meter pontoon bridge is erected, the army can pass, the water channel in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River is narrow, it is difficult to use it as a defensive barrier at all.

Cai Mao also set up the main camp in the water at Wulin Port in the east of Xiangyang according to the topography of Xiangyang. The purpose is to encircle the three missing one and hold the east of Xiangyang. On the south and west sides, as long as Cao Cao attacked from the north, the armies of the three sides could encircle the north and defend against Cao's army. This was originally a good defensive strategy, but because of the infighting in Jingzhou, this strategy no longer worked.

"Cao Jun!" Cao Ang's army quickly built a pontoon bridge, crossed Jingshui, and the army rushed straight to Xiangyang City. Liu Pan and the Cai brothers were taken aback when they saw Cao Jun, but they were no longer able to return to the sky, the defenders of Xiangyang City and the defenders of the Cai brothers had already been mixed together, and it was difficult for the military order to separate the two armies that were fighting fiercely.

Cao Ang rushed to Xiangyang City, saw the battle between the two armies, and naturally would not let go of this fisherman's opportunity to profit, Cao Ang's commander Tiger and Leopard Cavalry as the vanguard, rushed into the melee. Originally, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan outside the city fought fiercely with Cai Zhong and Cai He's troops, and they were already very tired, where could they still take care of the Cao army behind them, and a surprise attack of the Cao army broke up Liu Biao's army and Cai Mao's army outside the city.

At this time, the eastern part of Xiangyang City was also broken by an army. The breach here was somewhat unusual, it was the soldiers in the city who broke through the city gates, and rushed out of the city with an army to move closer to Cai He and Cai Zhong's troops. This army was the personal guard of thousands of people led by Cai Mao in the city.

The appearance of the Wenpin army made Cai Mao sober up a lot, and Cai Mao began to slowly recall the whole thing, trying to find a reasonable explanation. But Cai Zhong and Cai He outside the city did not give Cai Mao time and attacked the city directly. Cai Mao is also clear about Liu Biao's deployment, Liu Biao seems to have always guarded himself, and he has been surrounded in Xiangyang City.

Thinking of this, Cai Mao couldn't take care of his reason, and rushed out of Xiangyang City from the east gate with his pro-army, but Wen Ping did not leave the Taishou Mansion, but led his army to defend the Taishou Mansion to the death.

"General Liao, you quickly lead the men and horses of your headquarters to block the east gate, and you can't let Cao's army come in!" Liu Pan didn't know what was going on on the city tower, Cai Mao's army rushed out of the city, Liu Pan thought it was the internal response in the city, and hurriedly asked Liao Hua to lead people to the east gate to block the gap.

"No!" After Liao Hua received the order, he took his men and horses, went down the city tower, and went to the east gate.

Three hours passed, the sky gradually brightened, and the internal strife in Xiangyang City gradually came to an end. After Cai Mao escaped with his pro-army, he joined Cai Zhong Cai He, Cai Mao saw that Xiangyang City could not go back, so he took the army to Wulin, which was still Cai Mao's naval army.

Huang Zhong and Wei Yan were assaulted by Cao Ang's army and suffered a lot of losses, and the two of them combined had to retreat to the Jiangling Trail and settle down, so that they could resist Cao's army going south, and second, they could wait for Liu Biao's military orders. The Jiangling Trail is only thirty miles away from Xiangyang City, and as long as Xiangyang City settles down, the spies in Jingzhou will not fail to discover the army of the two.

Cao Ang led his troops to the city of Xiangyang, saw that the city was high and the pool was deep, and he could not take Xiangyang for a while, so he set up a military fortress in the north of the Xiangyang city gate and confronted the defenders in the city.

The sound outside Beiyuan gradually disappeared, and Lu Rui was also very clear about his situation in the small courtyard, it seemed that the internal strife in Xiangyang City had been pacified!

"General Zhengbei? It seems that your men will not arrive, but my army has surrounded this place, you can lay down your blades now, right? The old man said that he would not attack the general, please rest assured that the old man only wanted to ask the general to live in Jingzhou temporarily. Liu Biao clutched his chest, and there was another burst of pain, and his time was running out.

"Okay, since Liu Jingzhou said so, General Ben will believe Liu Jingzhou once." Lu Rui looked at Kuai Yue, Kuai Yue gave Lu Rui a code to put down his blade, and now Liu Biao has no murderous aura.

Lu Rui and Shi Ah and the killer were soon controlled by Liu Biao. Liu Biao didn't say anything, but just ordered Kuai Hao to imprison Lu Rui in Beiyuan and not to hurt him. He left Beiyuan with other civil and military forces.

In the Jingzhou Taishou Mansion Chamber. Liu Biao left Kuai Yue. Let the other civil and military retreats. Liu Biao has already made a general understanding of last night's events, Cai Mao's whereabouts, the defenders outside the city, the Cao army outside the city, the defenders in the city, all the situations, Liu Biao has received information from the spies.

The tide is over! Liu Biao sighed secretly in his heart, and now Cai Mao retreated to Wulin with the army. It seems that he has torn his face with himself, and Cai Mao's departure means that most of the Jingzhou Navy will be destroyed. The Jingzhou Navy no longer exists, and there is no weapon to resist Cao's army.

After fierce fighting in the city, although the civil strife was calmed down, the people's hearts were fluctuating, the army's morale was weak, and the Cao army outside the city was unusable, and the defeat was decided.

"Xeno, for Lu Rui. What do you suggest? "The hatred in Liu Biao's heart at this time, Lu Rui must have done something in this civil strife. Otherwise, there would be no infighting in Xiangyang City, Jingzhou, Liu Biao wanted to break Lu Rui's body into ten thousand pieces, but reason told him that he couldn't do this!

"Lord, Lu Rui is Cao Cao's adopted son, Cao Jun's important minister, the current situation is very unfavorable to our army, if Lu Rui is killed, I'm afraid the lord's heir will?" Kuai Yue knew that Liu Biao was a smart person, and he would understand the truth without saying much.

As soon as Liu Biao heard Kuai Yue's words, his heart chuckled, and his anger suddenly decreased a lot. Yes, I hate Lu Rui, and Jingzhou's foundation may be ruined like this, but in addition to myself, there are Qi'er and Cong'er, as well as their own bloodline. If he dies, it doesn't matter, anyway, he doesn't have much time left, but his son still has a long way to go.

"Xenodu, I understand, you go and order someone to take good care of Lu Rui, don't let him suffer the slightest grievance. And tomorrow I will personally write a letter, you send it to Cao Jun's barracks, saying that this general does not want the lives of the people of Jingzhou to be ruined, and is willing to surrender to the prime minister. Liu Biao slowly told Kuai Yue of these words, and from time to time he still covered his chest, the torture of illness made Liu Biao already miserable.

"Yes, my lord, my subordinates understand."

"Yes." Liu Biao nodded, signaling that Kuai Yue could go out.

Early the next morning, Kuai Yue took Liu Biao's letter and went to Cao Ang's military camp. As soon as Kuai Yue left, Liu Biao recruited Wenpin.

"The last general will see the lord!" Wen Ping walked into Liu Biao's study.

"Zhongye is here?"

"Yes, my lord!"

"Zhongye, how has General Ben treated you in the past few years?" Liu Biao glanced at Wen Ping, this cold general who was promoted by himself was his last hope.

"The lord treats the last general as a mountain, and the last general will die and it is difficult to repay it."

"Hey, you don't have to die, Zhongye just needs to take good care of General Ben's young son."

"Gongzi Cong?"

"Yes, Zhongye, you should know the current situation in Jingzhou." Subsequently, Liu Biao analyzed the current situation in Jingzhou.

Cai Mao and Liu Biao tore their faces, Cao Jun established a military fortress outside the city, and it was only a matter of time before the entire territory of Xiangyang and Jingzhou fell into Cao Cao's hands. How Cao Cao will treat his heirs, Liu Biao does not know, but he still has to make complete preparations.

Liu Biao's intentions are simple. Liu Qi, as his eldest son, must be the one who took over Jingzhou and stabilized Jingzhou after his death. After Cao Cao obtains Jingzhou, he will definitely reuse his eldest son in the early stage, but once Jingzhou tends to stabilize, Liu Qi's safety will be worried.

Liu Qi is the eldest son, and his health has not been good, Liu Biao has decided to sacrifice Liu Qi for the bloodline of the Liu family. Liu Biao's purpose in recruiting Wenpin was to let Wenpin take care of Liu Cong.

Liu Biao's meaning is very simple, let Wen Ping arrange a manor for Liu Cong in a county in Jingzhou, and let Liu Cong spend the rest of his life in peace, as for the identity, of course, it is Wen Ping's relatives, as for how to arrange it, it is Wen Ping's matter.

"Don't worry, the boss will take good care of the little son, and he will not let the lord down, as long as there is a job for a day, the little son will be safe for a day." Wen Ping replied to Liu Biao with tears.

"Okay, okay, I know Zhongye won't let me down, the housekeeper, I've already ordered, the money in my house will be handed over to Zhongye, and Cong'er will be handed over to Zhongye in the future."

"Please rest assured, I will definitely take good care of the little boy!"

"Well, Zhongye, this matter can only be known to you, after the housekeeper and servants deal with this matter, you will kill them, there was a fierce battle in the city last night, there are a lot of things that need to be dealt with, I will let Liao Hua assist you, and this matter will be done by chance." Liu Biao knew that his time was short, so he arranged a way back for his heirs. I want to do my best to preserve my bloodline.

"No!" Wen Ping arched his hand and withdrew from Liu Biao's study.

"Hey! The people of the family cannot be trusted! Cai Mao? Kuaiyue? Kuailiang? Originally, I thought that if I came alone and had three people to help, I could hold Jingzhou steadily, but I didn't expect this to be the situation now. Liu Biao lay on the seat, recalling the past when he rode alone to Jingzhou, and recalled until what happened last night, Liu Biao felt that his mind suddenly became clear, and everything was clear!

"The family still betrayed me!" Liu Biao's face turned red, smiled slightly, and lay down.

At the end of 206 AD, in the middle of winter, Liu Biao, the Mu of Jingzhou of the Han Dynasty, died of illness in Xiangyang City. (To be continued......)
