Chapter 214: The End of the Long Street

In the city of Xiangyang, the soldiers and horses are neat, and the streets are full of patrolling Cao Cao soldiers.

Since Cao Cao accepted the surrender of Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others in Fancheng, he led his army into Xiangyang the next day.

In order to calm the people's hearts, Cao Cao did not do anything drastic, but the Cao soldiers patrolling around the street still made the atmosphere of the entire Xiangyang City become solemn.

Before the situation became clear, the residents of Xiangyang did not even dare to take to the streets.

After all, in this troubled world, although ordinary people without power have not reached the point where their lives are as cheap as dogs, they are almost the same.

If you accidentally collide with or provoke a certain general of the Cao Army, I am afraid that the family will be ruined and killed in an instant.

In such a solemn atmosphere, the residents of the city trembled, so that in the huge city of Xiangyang, except for the soldiers patrolling, there were hardly many people walking on the streets on weekdays.

Even those ignorant and ignorant children were forcibly taken back into the house by their parents and not allowed to go out casually.

Riding a horse on the streets of depression and slaughter, Xiahou Yuan silently recalled the previous farce, and couldn't help but sneer.

After Cai Mao and Zhang Yun surrendered, they were crowned as the Grand Governor of the Water Army and the Deputy Governor of the Water Army, responsible for regulating and controlling the Water Army in order to deal with the next crusade against Sun Quan of Eastern Wu.

However, all the generals in the army can see that Cheng has no good impression of these two people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and the reason why he is entrusted with important tasks is only because the generals in the army are all from the north, and there are no people who are good at water warfare for the time being.

When they get to Jiangdong, these two sycophants who have betrayed their masters and surrendered are afraid that they will not end well.

Even in the eyes of everyone, these two people are already two dead people.

A few days ago, the mysterious immortal Li Yunfei said in front of Xiangyang City that the life and death of these four people had already spread in the army.

At that time, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others drove away civilians for the sake of glory and wealth, and even fired arrows at innocent people. Such a thing is despicable.

And the four people who were destined to die in the mouth of the mysterious immortal, Liu Cong's mother and son, had already received the news of death not long ago.

The mother and son were rewarded by the prime minister, and Liu Cong went out of the city to Qingzhou to take office as the assassin of Qingzhou, but was besieged and killed by bandits soon after leaving Xiangyang City, and no one fled.

When the news came back, the whole army was in an uproar.

Countless people looked at the two remaining Cai Mao and Zhang Yun in the prophecy. They all sneered, and they had completely regarded these two people as corpses.

Because in the prophecy of the Xuanji Immortals, both Cai Mao and Zhang Yun died at the hands of the prime minister, this future makes countless people can't help but laugh at these two fools who are greedy for wealth and wealth - you sell the glory and wealth in exchange for glory, but in the end you want to take your life!

There is nothing more ridiculous in this world.

In order to appease the two fools who were frightened by the news of the death of Liu Cong's mother and son, the prime minister had to summon them, persuade them with kind words, and promise, "If you live up to me." I will never harm both. ”

It's just that in Xiahou Yuan's opinion, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, who are fools who can sell for glory and wealth at any time, are not trustworthy at all.

Today, they can betray Jingxiang Jiujun to surrender to the prime minister in order to survive, and they can naturally betray the prime minister for others in the future.

At that moment, I am afraid that it will be the day when these two people die.

Even Xiahou Yuan had already learned that the prime minister was courteous to these two people on the surface, but in fact, after learning the prophecy of the mysterious immortal Li Yunfei, he began to ask people to secretly monitor and investigate Cai Mao and Zhang Yun.

The prime minister also knows that in the current situation. If these two men really died at his hands, there would be no other reason. It must be because of rebellion.

And since the mysterious immortals predicted that the other party would die, these two sycophants are two traitors who may defect at any time.

The current Xiahou Yuan only hopes that these two idiots will obediently do things for the prime minister before sweeping Jiangdong, and don't think about other things in their minds.

There is a lack of generals in the army who know how to fight water, and if these two fools really die, it will be very troublesome.

And the mysterious immortals......

This name made Xiahou Yuan couldn't help but be silent.

For this mysterious immortal who has been rumored in the mouth of the world. Xiahou Yuan's perception was very complicated.

Among Cao Ying, he may be regarded as the first general to deal with the other party. In the letter sent by his niece from afar, Xiahou Yuan felt for the first time the horror of the wise man who was thousands of miles away.

Anticipate the enemy and strategize...... In other words, his kind of Cheng dΓΉ can no longer be said to be strategizing. It's a prediction of the future!

If he didn't have a clear insight into all the things in the human heart, how could he deduce the major events that happened in Xuchang City?

Coupled with the terrifying ghostly schemes of the other party, it will be a nightmare for all his enemies.

So this time to conquer Jingzhou, Xiahou Yuan's nerves have been very tense, and he has been carefully guarding against the wise man's layout to resist.

However, except for the fire in Shinno Castle, in the face of the prime minister's army, the response of this wise man whose reputation has spread all over the world is mediocre.

He followed Liu Bei, who was driven from Xinye to Fancheng, and from Fancheng to Xiangyang, and finally could only rush to distant Jiangling with hundreds of thousands of people and refugees.

All the way, there was no resistance, and there was no layout, and the peerless wise man who was famous all over the world was like a mediocre man who went with the flow, and was chased by the prime minister's army without resistance.

With the slow speed at which they fled with the refugees, they could only walk more than ten miles a day, and they were only more than 200 miles away from Xiangyang so far.

At such a distance, the cavalry only needed a day and a night to catch up.

What the hell was that man thinking?

This question has become a difficult problem that has plagued Xiahou Yuan for some time recently, almost to the point that he can't think about it.

He believed that the man must have a back hand, how could such a terrible wise man, in the face of the enemy's soldiers, be indifferent and do nothing?

At the beginning, Xiahou Yuan thought of many possibilities.

A series of weird and terrifying series of schemes, a powerful lore heavenly machine plot, and even a ridiculous illusion that the other party is really an immortal in the sky, sending heavenly soldiers to help in the future or something......

But there was nothing.

From beginning to end, the man really didn't do anything, didn't leave anything behind, just fled around with Liu Bei like a helpless mortal.

However, Xiahou Yuan believed that with that person's ability to predict the future, he could have calculated in advance that Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others would rebel, and then design to capture the nine counties of Jingxiang, and finally oppose Cheng according to the nine counties of Jingxiang.

But he didn't do anything.

During the whole process, he just watched Liu Cong and others cut off Jingzhou, and watched Liu Bei lose his last means of resistance, and only fled towards Jiangling with thousands of troops and hundreds of thousands of burdensome refugees with no combat effectiveness, without doing anything. Indifferent like a ruthless observer, observing the world.

If the prime minister sends someone to catch up with them now, and the army kills them when the time comes, what will happen to the 100,000 civilians, can't that person see it?

Outside Xiangyang City, the wise man who was willing to rush to the crown and make a decision about life and death for the sake of hundreds of innocent people in vain, can he now ignore the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people?

This contradiction made Xiahou Yuan confused and confused.

He knew that the other party must be hiding something. Beneath this seemingly smooth overall situation, there is a sinister undercurrent of murder.

Once that person lifted the table and saw the dagger, it was the time when the prime minister's army was defeated-this was Xiahou Yuan's intuition, and it was also the ominous premonition that had always lingered in his heart.

He tried to sort out the complicated situation, and then found the source of the killing game laid by the other party.

However, his plans fell through.

He found nothing.

He had to ask a few famous strategists under the prime minister's account, hoping that the other party could find out what he couldn't find, find the most critical node, the source of the crisis hidden in the chaos.

But this plan still fell through.

He visited several famous strategists one after another, and they all got their heads shaken. Obviously, everyone believed that Li Yunfei did not leave any backhand, and Liu Bei's group had no possibility of turning the tables.

But Xiahou Yuan didn't believe it, he was still persistently looking for a possible foreshadowing, a possible backhand for that mysterious immortal.

Then, he saw a familiar shadow standing at the end of the long street, smiling at him.

A black cape, swaying slightly in the night.

Is that...... Assassin.

Blue Fly. (To be continued......)
