Chapter 567: Fire

Among the Cai family's mansions in Xiangyang City

"There's news, there's news!" In Cai's mansion, Cai Mao, Kuai Ran, Kuai Liang and his son Kuai Ran are all there, they are all anxiously waiting for the news, and finally there is news in the anxiety of everyone.

A shadow guard quickly came to Cai Mao's front and knelt down in front of Cai Mao, "Returning to the lord, this is a secret letter sent from the front." ”

Cai Mao took the envelope, waved his hand, and let his subordinates go out first.

He quickly opened the envelope, took out the letter, and read it.

"How's it going, how is it, Brother Desi?" Kuai Liang was the first to lose his breath and shouted anxiously at Cai Mao.

"Don't make a noise, aren't you watching!" Cai Mao choked directly, if it was on weekdays, Kuai Liang immediately thought back, you must know that these two have been arguing in Jingzhou for decades, but this time there was no echo from Kuai Liang.

"Ran'er, go down and prepare, prepare to rescue your big brother Liu Mang." Kuai Yue was much calmer, he took a sip of tea, he was not so much waiting for news here, but thinking about future countermeasures.

Kuai Yue thought about it early on that Liu Mang, the king of Shu, was arrested and locked up by Liu Biao, which was the worst news Kuai Yue wanted to get.

"Brother Xeno, you don't need to go." Cai Mao shook his head and said to Kuai Yue, the look on Cai Mao's face was very unsightly, which made Kuai Yue and the others chuckle in their hearts.

"Could it be that His Royal Highness the King of Shu has been killed by the lord?" Kuai Yue stood up with a gloomy face and asked Cai Mao, this is the worst news. If Liu Biao killed Liu Mang, the king of Shu, on the spot. Then the qiē done by Kuai Yue is useless. Jingzhou and Yangzhou will inevitably have a war, and the situation of the Cai family and the Kuai family will be embarrassing, and Jingzhou and Yangzhou will inevitably regard these two as thorns in the flesh.

"No, no! , His Royal Highness the King of Shu has escaped! Cai Mao said to Kuai Yue and the others.

"Escaped?" Kuai Yue and the others suddenly widened their eyes, and their first reaction was not to believe it, how could this be possible, but they knew that Liu Biao was really angry this time. grounded Cai Mao, with Xiangyang Wei, and a thousand of his own personal guards, just to deal with Liu Mang, the king of Shu.

If Liu Mang, the king of Shu, left before the ventilation of the Kuai family, then there would be no more qiē things, and Liu Mang, the king of Shu, would still be able to escape, but this time Liu Mang, the king of Shu, was arrogant, and was surrounded by Liu Biao's army over there, it was simply an ambush on all sides, how could he escape?" Kuai Liang couldn't help but say this.

"He can really fly!" Cai Mao said weakly.

"Ahhh Kuai Ran called out in surprise, his eldest brother can fly? How is this possible. Is this just a joke, how can people fly? This is not God.

"If you don't believe it, you can see for yourself!" Saying that, Cai Mao handed over the letter in his hand, and Kuai Yue took it and read it, Kuai Ran and Kuai Liang didn't care about their image, they just came to Kuai Yue's side and followed it.

What is written on this letter is the information that Liu Mang has left, and he really flew out, and they also know why Cai Mao's face will change greatly after reading this letter, because what is written on it is Liu Biao's treatment of Mrs. Cai, who was imprisoned, and his life and death are uncertain, and he even took Liu Biao to say that he wanted to kill Liu Zong.

This Cai family is relying on Mrs. Cai's child Liu Zong to prepare to consolidate his position in Jingzhou, if Liu Zong dies, then what is left of the Cai family? Isn't what he's done for so many years in vain?

"I really didn't expect that this big brother of yours is really capable!" Kuai Yue said with a wry smile to Kuai Ran, he actually flew out, flying, this is something that people have always wanted but have never been able to do, for them, flying should be something that gods and men can do, but his eldest brother really did it.

"Could it be that His Royal Highness the King of Shu is really the person chosen by God?" Kuai Liang couldn't help but interject such a sentence, Kuai Liang has been to Yangzhou, in Yangzhou, those Liu Mang's subordinates, especially the veterans who once broke through from Xuzhou, they are now serving as waist limbs in the Yangzhou army, and their description of Liu Mang is a man of God, a man of God from heaven.

Originally, Kuai Liang didn't believe it, isn't this a joke, where did the gods come from in this world, where did the gods come from, if there were, the dynasty would have changed a long time ago, that is, the Zhang Jiao, who was known as the general of Tiangong, didn't he die in the end, what about the Taiping technique, and the sky is dead, Huang Tian should stand, and now there are still a few people who call themselves the Yellow Turban Army.

But now it's different, Liu Mang, this Shu King Liu Mang actually flew out.

"God-man?" Kuai Yue shook his head, it should belong to the trick, Kuai Yue was much calmer than his younger brother, he stepped forward, "Brother Desi, now is not the time to cry and mourn, since His Royal Highness the King of Shu has escaped, and Mrs. Cai has also been put in prison by the lord, what we should do now is to wrap up Liu Zonggongzi." Kuai Yue said to Cai Mao, now Liu Biao is angry to the extreme, what if he can't help but kill Liu Zong.

Liu Zong must not be Liu Mang's son, this Kuai Yue knows, because when Liu Zong was born, Lu Bu was still in Xuzhou as a state pastor, how could he come to Jingzhou.

"Yes!" It can only be like this, Cai Mao nodded, now the only way is to wrap Liu Zong, although Liu Biao is very angry with the Kuai family and the Cai family, but anger does not mean that Liu Biao is irrational, unless he doesn't want Jingzhou anymore, otherwise he will not be able to kill the Cai family and the Kuai family, so the Cai family and the Kuai family still have a chance, as long as the little son Liu Zong is saved, as long as he waits for the lord Liu Biao to die, the little prince will take the throne, then the Cai family and the Kuai family will naturally consolidate their positions.

"Newspaper, newspaper! Letters ahead! While the people were discussing the matter, another letter came from there.

"And?" Cai Mao took him and dismantled it, "What! As soon as Cai Mao saw this letter, her face became even darker.

"Brother Desi?" Kuai Yue directly got the letter from Cai Mao's hand, which said that Liu Pan commanded an army of 20,000 to Xiangyang.

"Liu Pan!?" Kuai Yue then remembered such a person. Isn't this Liu Biao's subordinate? He is the son of Liu Biao's younger brother. Because he has a good relationship with Liu Biao, he was raised by Liu Biao, because he was not in person, so everyone didn't have any idea about this cousin, but now it's different, he actually came back.

"Liu Pan?" Kuai Liang's image of this Liu Pan is that of a gentleman, Kuai Liang was the commander of Xiangyang Guard, and at that time he was responsible for the security of the city. And this Liu Pan really fell into the hands of Kuai Liang, at the beginning, this Liu Pan ate the overlord meal, and fought with other gentlemen in this hotel, so the boss was the official, Kuai Liang happened to be there, Kuai Liang was a second stunned man when he was in office, he was in charge of everything, he didn't care what kind of second son you are, what other people are, there is only one word, that is, catch. You have a reason to explain it when you go to the government.

And this Liu Pan Gongzi is even more horizontal. ignored Kuai Liang at all, just didn't let Kuai Liang arrest him, and even wanted Kuai Liang to come over to see him, showing his arrogance as a second son.

And Kuai Liang was also full of anger at that time, didn't you, Liu Pan, happen to be on top of the muzzle, so Kuai Liang ordered to take it directly, and in this dispute, Liu Pangongzi and Xiangyang Wei fought hard, and finally killed two officials of Xiangyang Wei.

Kuai Liang was immediately angry, and immediately gave Liu Pan fifty sticks after taking him, almost didn't beat this Liu Pan to death, and after the disaster, he counted Liu Pan's guilt and was imprisoned in Xiangyangwei's prison and sentenced to death, ready to be beheaded after the autumn.

This case has alarmed Liu Biao, can you not be alarmed, this is Liu Biao's subordinate, no matter what, it is also related by blood, so Liu Biao pleaded with Kuailiang, at that time, Kuailiang was not as good as water and fire, no matter who came to intercede, it was the same, beheading.

Liu Biao even slapped the table on Kuai Liang, Kuai Liang was also angry, and said, unless you Liu Biao kills Kuai Liang, he will die with this Liu Pan, so that Liu Biao is really helpless.

killed Kuai Liang, then he and the Kuai family would have a complete falling out, and this Liu Pan was indeed at a loss, so Liu Biao didn't dare to make a lot of noise, so in the end he could only secretly send someone to rob Xiangyangwei's prison and get Liu Pan out.

In order to be afraid that Kuai Liang, the second stunned man, would continue to investigate, and was ready to fight to the end, Liu Biao simply discussed with Kuai Yue, Cai Mao, and Huang Zu about Kuai Liang's official position of Xiangyang Wei to take it off for him, at that time, the Huang family and the Cai family were also miserable, Kuai Liang didn't recognize human feelings at all, who can stand it, Kuai Jia Kuai Yue also had a headache, the three families hit it off, and they took Kuai Liang's official position, otherwise the current Kuai Liang is still commanding Xiangyang Wei.

"He's back!" Kuai Liang couldn't help muttering to himself, he also investigated after he was removed from his official position as Xiangyang Wei, and finally learned that Liu Pangongzi was sent to the border by the lord Liu Biao to join the army to defend his homeland.

So Kuai Liang didn't care about it, this is not much different from the army, but I didn't expect this Liu Pan to come back.

"This Liu Pan is not just back! And he came back with soldiers and horses. Cai Mao's eyes flashed with golden light, but it was written on this letter, 20,000 elites, including 5,000 heavy armored cavalry, and 15,000 heavy armored feet.

"Brother Desi, do you know these soldiers and horses?" Kuai Yue asked Cai Mao, after all, Cai Mao is a figure in the army, he is a military advisor, basically belongs to the character who wants to coordinate the entire Jingzhou soldiers and horses, more professional, Kuai Yue is very surprised by this heavy armored force, you must know that there are many water battles in Jingzhou, and basically they are developing ships and naval armies, but where does this heavy armored army come from? Let's not talk about heavy armor, after all, as long as the iron armor is enough, there is no shortage of iron ore in Jingzhou, but here the heavy armored cavalry, this war horse is extremely precious, you must know that Jiangdong has only taken out 2,000 war horses for so many years, and it was destroyed by the first battle of Yangzhou. Their heavy-armored cavalry in Jingzhou looks extremely luxurious, and they are all good horses.

"I don't know about this either!" The reason why Cai Mao's eyes are shining is because of this, 20,000 elites, 20,000 heavy armor troops, such a big weaving, he is a Jingzhou military advisor who doesn't know, do you think Cai Mao can not be angry. He Cai Mao thought that only the Huang family was competing with Cai Mao in this army, but he was wrong, there was even a son of Liu Pan.

"This lord is very hidden!" Kuai Yue said to Cai Mao, and even Cai Mao hid it. What else is this lord hiding? Cai Mao didn't know anything. It's horrible.

"He Liu Biao doesn't trust us anymore." Cai Mao also responded to Kuai Yue, this time Cai Mao did not call the lord directly, but called him by his name, which shows Cai Mao's anger.

"Trust or distrust, I'm not afraid." Kuai Yue shook his head, it doesn't matter if he trusts this thing, Liu Biao is already old after all, even if he suppresses the Kuai family and the Cai family, it will only be a few years, as long as Liu Zong is on the throne. Then there is nothing left, and it can go even deeper.

What is Kuaiyue worried about? That's the conversation between Liu Biao and Liu Pan, but it is written on this letter, Liu Pan sees Liu Biao, Liu Pan calls his uncle, and he should be called his father, this is the key.

If this really changes the heir, it will be over, there are originally two heirs in Jingzhou, the first is the eldest son Liu Qi, Liu Qi is Liu Biao's eldest son. It can be said that this is the biggest threat, so when Liu Qi was in Jingzhou at that time. The Kuai family and the Cai family targeted Liu Qi everywhere, preventing Liu Qi from entering the center of power, and even directly instigated the lord Liu Biao to send the eldest son Liu Qi to Xinye directly, on the surface, for the sake of the eldest son Liu Qi, let him handle government affairs and cultivate his ability, but the people inside know that this is to kick Liu Qi out of Xiangyang, so that the lord Liu Biao can't see the eldest son Liu Qi, so that even if something happens, Liu Qi, the eldest son, will not have time to react.

This second heir is the youngest son Liu Zong, the eldest son was kicked out, so naturally this young son Liu Zong can have a great possibility. Now the eldest prince Liu Qi has entered Yangzhou, although he is still Xinye Taishou, but now he is a person from Yangzhou, and it can be said that Liu Biao's inheritance has been extinct.

It was originally foolproof, but who knew that there was an extra Liu Pan, this is the master's servant, and the son of his younger brother, but now Liu Biao actually asked Liu Pan to call him father, what is the situation.

So Kuai Yue immediately became vigilant, this Liu Pan is not good, and the soldiers and horses brought back by Liu Pan don't even know Cai Mao, which shows that their lord is really hidden.

"He dares!" Cai Mao is really angry, his sister was locked up by Liu Biao, life and death are unknown, he is not so angry, he is so ashamed and angry by Huang Shot, he is not so angry, but now it is different, Cai Mao is really angry, he wants to kill someone, this is Cai Mao's bottom line, that is, to let his nephew Liu Zong inherit the position of Jingzhou Mu, this is true.

Once someone touches his cake, then Cai Mao will have to fight with whom. If Liu Biao really wants Liu Pan to take the throne, then Cai Mao may really rise up and rebel.

"Brother Desi, don't be angry, this is just a guess." Kuai Yue shook his head and said, he thinks that it is unlikely that Liu Biao will let Liu Pan inherit the position of Jingzhou Mu, the biggest possibility is that this lord wants to use Liu Pan to contain the Cai family and the Kuai family, these 20,000 heavy armor elites are invincible on this ground, and what Cai Mao is holding in his hands are all water armies, which is really difficult.

"What about this Liu Pan now?" Cai Mao asked, he now wants to meet this Liu Pan.

"Pursue His Royal Highness the King of Shu." After Kuai Yue finished reading the letter, Liu Pan led his troops to pursue His Royal Highness the King of Shu.

"He chased the eldest brother?" Kuo Ran was stunned for a moment.

"What's wrong with the sky?" Suddenly, Kuai Liang saw beyond the sky, and now the sky had begun to slowly darken, but the sky to the west was still shining. The fiery pieces are red, which makes people exclaim when they see it.

"Fire, fire!" Cai Mao could see what it was at a glance, after all, he was familiar with water and fire, and he could see what this was at a glance.

"How could there be such a fire!" Kuai Yue asked, this fire is too big, and he actually lit half of the sky to him.

"Someone burned the mountain?" Kuai Yue and Cai Mao thought of it at the same time, and the two glanced at each other, this is only if the whole mountain is set on fire to him, that kind of forest fire will have such a landscape, but who will set fire to the mountain, that side is the west, and beyond the west is not the west city wall, and Liu Mang, the king of Shu, didn't leave from there.

And the only thing that can burn the mountain is naturally the army, the troops in Cai Mao's hands are useless, and the troops under Liu Biao have not left the city, only the soldiers and horses brought by Liu Pan for so long, why are they doing a good job of burning the mountain.

"Liu Mang, King of Shu!" There is only this explanation, no one will be stupid enough to burn the mountain. Because you're not sure which way the wind is blowing. You may accidentally burn your own. The fire is not easy to control, it is difficult to extinguish, and there are many living forests in the forest.

was able to burn the mountain ruthlessly, naturally in order to pursue an important person, Liu Mang, the king of Shu.

"My big brother!" Kuai Ran became anxious again.

……

That's right, this fire is really to burn Liu Mang, the king of Shu.

"Does this Shu King Liu Mang really plan to be a shrunken turtle?" Liu Pan didn't get Liu Mang's recovery at the bottom of the mountain, and couldn't help frowning, "What time is it?" ”

"Returning to the general, there is only a moment left until half an hour." Liu Pan's personal guard said to Liu Pan.

"There's only a quarter of an hour left!" Liu Pan sneered, "Okay." Let's start ignition. Liu Pan ordered his subordinates.

"Isn't there a quarter of an hour, my lord?" Liu Pan's subordinate asked.

"Light the fire first, I want to see how long our Royal Highness the King of Shu can endure." Liu Pan said to his subordinates that he wanted to light the fire first and smoke out Liu Mang and the others with smoke.

The fire was soon lit, but Liu Pan deliberately made an isolation, only three sides were ignited, leaving an exit, this is to force Liu Mang and others to come out, the fire is permeating the mountains, they must find an exit. The exit is to force them out. The place where you can take it directly after the difficulty.

The fire began to spread, and the entire hill was filled with smoke.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem!" Liu Pan hadn't smoked the enemy yet, so he smoked himself first, and couldn't help coughing.

"General, let's go to the rear!" A personal guard stepped forward and said to Liu Pan.

"Good!" Liu Pan nodded, away from the fire.

Fierce flames began to rise, and heat waves came one after another. Liu Pan stared at this exit, waiting for Liu Mang and the others to rush out from here.

"General, half an hour has come!" Just when Liu Pan was about to see through it, a guard on the side stepped forward and said to Liu Pan.

"Yes, yes! It's true, my Liu Pan's words are, and I can't even come out, do you want to die so much, okay, then I, Liu Pan, will fulfill you. Liu Pan was furious, his face was full of murderous intent, he gave Liu Mang face, let Liu Mang come out and surrender by himself, and gave him half an hour to think about it, but Liu Mang didn't give Liu Pan face at all, and such a big fire couldn't smoke him.

"Someone will order me this place too!" Liu Pan said angrily to his subordinates.

"General, won't we capture this Shu King Liu Mang alive?" A guard asked, this Liu Biao wanted to capture Liu Mang alive.

"Does it matter if you live or die?" Liu Pan was cold, "Since he Liu Mang wants to die, then I will fulfill him, what are you still doing in a daze, light the fire!" Liu Pan yelled at his subordinates.

"Yes!" Soon, Liu Pan's heavy armored cavalry also lit this last exit, and the fire rose, like a fire dragon raging on the land of Jingzhou.

The mountains were full of trees, and when the fire started, it burned the whole earth and dyed half of the sky red.

"Walk the water, go the water!" Such a big movement is simply unstoppable, and all the people in Xiangyang City have run out, and it would be terrible if this fire changed the direction of the wind.

"Ouch, who the hell is this, mourning the conscience, burning the mountain!" Some of the people who live on the mountain are crying, because they are still living like this because the mountain has burned down.

"I saw that His Royal Highness the King of Shu flew out of this Xichang Gate, and the direction is the direction in which His Highness flew out!"

"Fly out? You won't be dazzled, how can this person fly out! "Some people did not believe.

"I'm not if I lie to you, I'm not, I'm not a girl in the music hall!" The people began to gamble.

"I also saw it, this His Royal Highness the King of Shu flew out, and His Royal Highness the King of Shu is really a god." Someone sighed.

"Could it be that His Royal Highness the King of Shu is angry?"

"Fire Burning Mountain?" In the Xiangyang Chengzhou Pastoral Mansion, Huang Jian also saw this scene, his face was a little bad, could it be that this Shu King Liu Mang was really trapped in the mountains by this Liu Pan? Otherwise, it would be impossible for this Liu Pan to burn the mountain.

"Damn, shit! Liu Mang, King of Shu, Liu Hanyang, why are you so stupid, your intelligence, your ability! "Huang Shot is simply hating Liu Mang to death now, you said that you take out the ability to deal with him Huang Shot, escape from Liu Pan's hands, it is best to kill that Liu Pan, so that he Huang Shot is the happiest. If Liu Mang, the king of Shu, fell into Liu Pan's hands, or was burned to death by Liu Pan, then Huang Shot would cry, because in this case, he Huang Shot didn't make a wedding dress for others, although he debunked the relationship between Liu Mang, the king of Shu, and Mrs. Cai, but the culprit was caught or killed by Liu Pan, and the biggest credit was gone.

Originally, Huang Shot couldn't compare to him Liu Pan, if the credit was a little smaller, it really didn't have to be mixed up for so long.

"Is it my son who is setting fire to the mountain?" Liu Biao also saw this mountain fire, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of Liu Biao's mouth.

What he is thinking about now is not the danger caused by this fire, what he wants is to kill Liu Mang, the king of Shu, he is a pity, that is, he was not able to torture this king of Shu Liu Mang to death with his own hands, but it doesn't matter if he kills it. "Hahaha!" Liu Biao laughed. (To be continued......)
