Chapter 20: Cai Mao captures the assassin, and Liu Biao rejuvenates.
It is said that Cai Mao and Zhang Yun have been waiting for a long time in the post house in the north of the city.
Zhang Yun was obviously a little impatient waiting, he looked at Cai Mao, and asked cautiously: "Brother Deqi, I think the time is ripe, we should immediately rush up and take down the Chengbei Post House, kill Liu Bei, and solve our big trouble." ”
Cai Mao glanced at Zhang Yun and comforted him: "Wait! ”
Zhang Yungang wanted to reply, but only listened to the scout sent by Cai Mao to report
"General Cai, it has now been ascertained that the soldiers surrounding the post house in the north of the city are Lord Huo Junhuo's troops, with more than 6,000 soldiers and horses!"
"Revisit! Again! ”
Cai Mao asked the scout to inquire about the news again, and Zhang Yunke on the side couldn't sit still: "Brother Dejun, why did this Huo Jun Huo Zhongmiao appear in the Chengbei Post House?" Could it be an order from the state pastor? ”
Cai Mao shook his head slowly when he heard Zhang Yun say this, judging from his intuition, this matter was not like what Zhang Yun said, as for why Huo Jun's soldiers and horses appeared here, he couldn't say clearly.
Zhang Yun was already a little impatient to wait, and he hurriedly urged Cai Mao to send troops: "Brother Dejun, we have more than 10,000 people, and Huo Jun's soldiers and horses are only 6,000, we have 4,000 more than him, and now we will be able to wipe them all out." ”
What Zhang Yun said is not a choice, after all, he Huo Jun Liu Bei only has 6,000 soldiers and horses, and he Cai Mao has more than 10,000 people in his hands, 6,000 against 10,000, and he is still in the dark, no matter how you look at it, he Cai Mao has a better chance of winning.
Cai Mao's heart gradually wavered.
......
Chengbei Post House.
Huo Jun transferred 6,000 soldiers and horses to surround the post house in the north of the city, while he was around Liu Bei to prevent Cai Mao and Zhang Yun from playing some indiscriminate tricks to assassinate Liu Bei.
Liu Wu was calm and relaxed, not feeling flustered at all, he was confident at the moment, because he expected Cai Mao not to dare to attack, so he could be so calm.
As for Liu Bei, because he trusts Liu Wu 100%, he believes in Liu Wu's judgment, as the so-called use of people is not suspicious, and suspicion is not used, which can be described as Liu Bei's life creed.
I only heard a report from the scouts outside: "General Huo, it has been ascertained that General Cai and General Zhang led more than 10,000 soldiers to camp in the south of the post house in the north of the city. ”
"Report again!"
Huo Jun couldn't help but gasp when he heard that Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were leading more than 10,000 people to the south of the Chengbei Post House.
If there is only a fight, his 6,000 men will not be able to withstand much time.
Huo Jun's gaze moved to Liu Bei and Liu Wu, and when he saw that the two of them didn't react at all, he was a little curious.
Could it be that Xuande Gong and Brother Wen Liang didn't hear it clearly?
Liu Wu knew that Huo Jun must be guessing his thoughts now, and in order to dispel Huo Jun's concerns, Liu Wu opened his mouth to explain to Huo Jun: "Cai Mao and Zhang Yun have more than 10,000 people, but both of them are mediocre people, so there is nothing to worry about. ”
Liu Bei also came to comfort Huo Jun: "Zhong Miao doesn't have to worry, everything is in the hands of Wenliang Military Division, you and I just need to cooperate." ”
In the end, Liu Bei knew how powerful Liu Wu was, and Liu Bei now trusted Liu Wu 100%.
Liu Wu calculated the time and knew that the time was almost up, so he invited Liu Bei and Huo Jun to come downstairs to welcome Liu Biao's arrival.
Cai Mao saw that Liu Bei, Liu Wu, Huo Jun and others appeared at the door of the Chengbei Post House, so he immediately ordered Zhang Yun: "Quickly order all the soldiers and horses, rush up with me, occupy the Chengbei Post House, and kill Liu Bei!" ”
At this time, Zhang Yun had a question: "What about Huo Jun and his soldiers and horses?" ”
Cai Mao didn't think about it, and said casually: "I can't care about it so much, the one who stands in my way will die!" Rush with me! ”
Cai Mao and Zhang Yun led more than 10,000 soldiers to launch a surprise attack on the defenders of the post house in the north of the city.
But just halfway through, soldiers and horses rushed all the way from behind, and it was Liu Biao who took the lead, and behind him was Mrs. Cai, the sister of Yi and Cai Mao.
Cai Mao saw that something was wrong, and immediately changed his words: "Catch the assassin!" ”
The 4,000 soldiers led by Liu Biao surrounded Cai Mao's 10,000 people.
When the more than 10,000 soldiers saw Liu Biao, they put down their weapons one after another and lined up in a neat and orderly manner.
Cai Mao knew that he couldn't admit his purpose at this time, so he could only grit his teeth and hold on, he gestured to Zhang Yun, and Zhang Yun understood.
Liu Biao restrained the horse in front of Cai Mao, and he was now very angry, staring at Cai Mao.
Of course, Cai Mao greeted him with a smile, after all, he knew that he would not hit the smiling person, and he was still Liu Biao's brother-in-law, as long as his sister Mrs. Cai did not fall out of favor, he would definitely be fine, even if the result was bad, it was only three glasses of wine.
Liu Biao suddenly scolded: "I'll settle accounts with you later!" With that, he immediately went to the Chengbei Post House and asked about Liu Bei and Liu Wu's situation.
Cai Mao listened to Liu Biao's voice like a bell, how could she look like a dying person? He was scolded by Liu Biao like this, but he felt that the situation seemed to be more serious than he imagined.
I can't care about it so much now, so it's important to ask my sister for mercy first.
Liu Biao ran in the direction of Liu Wu, and Yi Yuan followed closely behind. After all, Liu Bei and Liu Wu had just saved Liu Biao's life, and they had only been out of Xiangyang Mansion for a few hours.
was surrounded by his subordinate Cai Mao, obviously this is not polite hospitality.
Liu Biao also knew that he was at a loss, got off the horse and hurriedly stepped forward towards Liu Bei, held Liu Bei's hand tightly, and apologized to Liu Bei: "Brother Xuande, I frightened you!" ”
Liu Bei knew that it was none of Liu Biao's business, and this matter was all a trick of Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, but he still had to make things clear, and by the way, he would blow about Huo Jun and Yi Yuan.
Liu Bei also held Liu Biao's hand tightly: "Brother Jingsheng, fortunately, General Huo Junhuo and Ji Bo came to the rescue tonight, otherwise Xuande would be in danger!" ”
Liu Biao comprehended, asked people to bring Cai Mao and Zhang Yun over, and asked, "Cai Mao, Zhang Yun!" You two didn't have my order, and you dared to transfer troops to break into the post house in the north of the city without permission, what happened? ”
Zhang Yun is Liu Biao's nephew in the end, hearing Liu Biao reprimand him like this, he was speechless, when had he ever seen Liu Biao have such a temper towards him? Obviously, Liu Biao was really angry.
At this moment, silence is golden, and Zhang Yun didn't dare to say more.
I only heard Cai Mao reply: "Brother-in-law, Zhang Yun and I heard that there were assassins here in Xuande Gong, so we immediately mobilized troops and came to help. ”
Everyone looked at Cai Mao's appearance, and they all felt that Cai Mao's face was really thick.
Liu Biao asked suspiciously, "Really?" Hugh is going to lie to me! ”
Cai Mao hurriedly affirmed and did not give others a chance to refute: "Brother-in-law! Seriously! Seriously! If you don't believe me, you can ask Zhang Yun. ”
Zhang Yun looked at Cai Mao, and when he saw that he kept glaring at him, he stumbled out two words from his mouth: "Seriously!" ”
Huo Jun is a straight man, he can't allow Cai Mao and Zhang Yun to deceive the state pastor like this, he just wanted to speak, but Liu Wu glanced at him.
