In the thirteenth year of Jian'an, Liu Biao's old illness relapsed and he was seriously ill at home.

Liu Qi's stepmother Cai and his brother Cai Mao controlled the inner mansion, Liu Qi couldn't see his father at all, and he had to worry about Cai Mao doing something to him day and night.

Zhuge Liang suggested that Liu Qi leave Jingzhou and go to Jiangxia, so that he avoided the dispute in Jingzhou, although he did not have the upper hand at the moment, but Jiangxia was heavily garrisoned by Jingzhou, with abundant grain and grass, and once there was a change in the future, Liu Qi would have the ability to protect himself and have the ability to support.

At this time, Jingzhou still seems to be calm, but in fact, it has reached a critical point of survival.

The Cai sisters and brothers just waited for Liu Biao to breathe, leaving the position of the lord of Jingzhou to their own little son Liu Cong.

Xinye, as the barrier of Jingzhou, is already preparing for battle. But even if they have a military advisor like Zhuge Liang and a fierce general like Brother Liu Bei, after all, it is impossible to resist in the land of Xinye Projectile.

Zhuge Liang had no choice but to propose that Liu Bei evacuate Xinye and rush to Jiangxia to join Liu Qi.

"Xinye can't be saved, I understand that, but doesn't the military advisor want to fight with Cao Jun?" Liu Bei naturally knew what was at stake, but he knew Zhuge Liang's character.

After Zhuge Liang followed him, he had not fought Cao Cao head-on, so he should not be willing to leave the battlefield like this and withdraw his troops from Jiangxia.

I saw Zhuge Liang smile and said: "Don't worry, my lord, I have already laid out the game in Xinye City, and I dare to guarantee that the Cao army will be defeated in this battle, but I still have to go." ”

"The military advisor wants to attack with fire, which is naturally wonderful, but a fire burned Xinye, and we are gone, how can the people be good? Although Xinye is small, it also has 100,000 people. Sun Qian, who was on the side, said worriedly.

"I propose that we distribute all our money and food to the people, so that they can leave Xinye and settle elsewhere." Zhuge Liang said.

"It should be, it should be, I was negligent about this! That's it. Liu Bei said helplessly: "I have always loved the people, but now I have asked the people to suffer with me." ”

……

A few days later, Liu Biao died of illness, and Liu Cong, with the support of his mother and uncle, successfully became the lord of Jingzhou.

Cao's army had come to Jingzhou, they were afraid of Cao Cao's power, and knew that they could not withstand Cao Cao, so they decided to sacrifice Jingzhou and surrender.

Cai Mao said that he had received news from Cao Cao that as long as they returned to the imperial court, Liu Cong would still be the lord of Jingzhou and would always receive Jingzhou.

It's just that they don't know that Cao Cao's words are fundamentally different from ordinary people.

After that, Cao Cao effortlessly stationed in Jingzhou.

In the main hall, he called Liu Cong.

Liu Cong thought that if he surrendered to Cao Cao, there would be no more danger, and he didn't want Cao Cao to shout loudly: "Liu Cong, you Jingzhou soldiers and horses have countless money and food, why don't you surrender without a fight?" Do you know that Liu Bei garrisoned Xinye, but there were more than 10,000 horses, but he fought to the death! ”

There was no mildness in his words, and all Liu Cong heard was contempt and contempt.

He was suddenly shocked, and asked himself if he had nothing to say if he surrendered without even daring to fight.

What does he want to say, he wants to scold himself loudly, the prime minister is right, why is there no such person around me to wake me up with a word!

But he didn't say anything.

"Prime Minister!"

At this time, generals such as Cao Ren and Zhang Liao, who attacked Xinye, returned.

Cao Ren and Zhang Liao were all disgraced and embarrassed.

Cao Ren said: "Prime Minister, Xinye has been captured. ”

"It's a good thing to take it, why are you all like this?" Cao Cao asked, staring at the embarrassed looks of them.

"The brothers captured Xinye and were cooking in the city, but there was something hidden under the eaves that caused a fire, and as soon as the wind passed, the fire was all over the sky, and we had to go out of the city, and we were intercepted by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei outside the city, and we were finally able to get out of trouble."

"What is water and fire, to put it mildly, what about Liu Bei?"

"Liu Bei has fled to Jiangxia."

"Jiang Xia? Liu Qi is stationed in Jiangxia, and Jiangxia City has a lot of soldiers, so he decided that he can't be called to Jiangxia! ”

"Prime Minister, Liu Bei is taking the people of Xinye with him, I estimate that they won't be able to travel much in a day." Zhang Liao said: "It is said that the people of Xinye are willing to follow him and are unwilling to leave, and he also decided to take the people with him. ”

"Go back to the camp and prepare, I will personally go out and chase Liu Bei's gang back!" Cao Cao heard that Liu Bei was leaving with the people, so he calmed down, since he was dragged down by the people, he didn't expect to run fast.

This time, getting rid of Liu Bei was his plan, and he couldn't make any mistakes.

……

"Pi'er, you only have one task tomorrow, when you catch up with Liu Bei's people, catch me Lingxi, the people below don't know Lingxi, but you won't know it."

In the camp, Cao Pi couldn't believe that Cao Cao brought him here for such a mission.

"Isn't Mrs. Huan divorced by her father?" Cao Pi asked tentatively.

Cao Cao glanced at him and said: "I regret it again, I shouldn't let her go, if my wives and concubines are like her in the future, if they make mistakes and leave their lives, then what is the majesty of the Prime Minister's Mansion?" ”

"Did you arrest her back, or did you punish her?"

"If she betrays me, it's not a pity to die, if the situation is critical, if she can't be caught, she will be killed, and she must not be asked to run to Jiangxia."

"What, you're going to kill her?" Cao Pi's face was full of shock, he still had a trace of suspicion about Cao Cao's divorce of his wife, and now he almost believed that Cao Cao would kill Lingxi.

It was because of him that things became like this, he finally rescued himself, but he couldn't protect Lingxi.

Cao Cao ordered in the army, military law is like a mountain, if he does not obey, there is a dead end, if he obeys, Lingxi is dead.

"Cao Pi, Cao Pi? Why, what else do you think about that woman? Cao Cao's tone was cold, and he couldn't see his emotions.

When Cao Pi heard this, he was so frightened that he knelt in front of Cao Cao: "Er really has nothing to do with her!" ”

"There is no best."

Cao Pi returned to his tent in a trance, only thinking that he would never be able to accept killing Lingxi, even if he didn't do it right, even if Lingxi only had Cao Cao in his heart, he couldn't, but he couldn't catch her and watch her die.

He was still in chaos, but the attendants outside hurriedly came to report at this time, saying that they were from Xuchang.

That person was his confidant, and when he had to see it, Cao Pi stabilized his mood and called the person in.

"What's going on in the house?" Cao Pi asked.

"Gong, Gongzi, Fuli, Fuli......" The man actually stood up.

Cao Pi was already displeased, and couldn't help but say angrily: "If you have something to say, say it quickly!" ”

"Childe, if you go out with the prime minister, there will be nothing wrong in the house, but recently, my subordinates have discovered that Mrs. Zhen, Mrs. Zhen is a little wrong......"

"Zhen Mi, what's wrong with her?"

"The subordinates saw her leave the house late at night, and went to the fourth son."

The fourth son? Cao Zhi!

Cao Pi only felt his head buzz.

What does this subordinate mean that Zhen Mi took advantage of his absence to get together with Cao Zhi?

"I know, you go back first, keep an eye on her for me." Cao Pi's expression was cold.

It was a matter of Lingxi in front of him, but he didn't expect this kind of thing to happen at home, he didn't expect Cao Zhi to be greedy for drinking, and he only knew how to recite poetry and make the moon, so he would put his mind on his woman.

He's his own brother!

Cao Pi was full of anger in his heart, and he couldn't wait to rush back immediately to ask for clarification.

On the second day, he mounted a fast horse and chased in the direction of Jiangxia before Cao Cao's army.

I hope I don't see Lingxi, I hope she's not there.

Cao Pi read silently.
