Liu Bei and the others took a closer look, only to see Chen Dao, who was in charge of guarding Xinye, leading a group of remnants of the defeated army and stumbling in front of them.

"Lord, the last general...... Incompetent, Shinno Castle is lost! ”

Chen Zhi's face was sad and authentic.

"What?!"

Liu Bei was taken aback.

They only left Shinno City last night, and the city was lost today?

"General Chen, don't panic, let things be as they are."

Zhuge Liang comforted.

Chen Zhi took a breath and told the whole story.

It turned out that after Zhuge Liang and the others left, before dawn, a spy reported that Cao Jun had killed ten miles outside Xinye City.

Chen Zhi did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered the city to be on guard.

He originally thought that Cao's army would attack after dawn, but he didn't expect that Yang Ling would attack at night and used black powder.

With a "boom", the Xinye city wall collapsed directly.

Without the protection of the city wall, the thousands of soldiers and horses in Chen Zhi's hands were not Cao Jun's opponents at all.

In less than an hour, they were driven out of the city by Cao's army.

Chen Dao, who was embarrassed, could only go all the way south and come to Liu Bei.

After listening to him, Liu Bei, Liu Qi and others gasped.

They never expected that Yang Ling's movements would be so fast!

"At this pace of marching, I'm afraid that tonight, the vanguard army of Cao's army will arrive at Fancheng on the other side of the Han River."

Zhuge Liang analyzed.

"Eldest son, it's not too early, you have to make a decision earlier!"

Zhang Fei couldn't help but urge.

"This ...... This ......"

While Liu Qi was hesitating, a scribe hurried over from the direction of the city.

As soon as he saw Liu Qi, he hurriedly said,

"The eldest son, the big thing is not good, the state pastor is gone!"

This person is Li Qi, the official under Liu Biao's account, who is good friends with Liu Qi and can be regarded as his cronies!

Hearing this, Liu Qi was startled at first, and then cried bitterly,

"Father, the child is not filial, and he hasn't even seen his father for the last time!"

"Eldest Prince, now is not the time to be sad!"

Li Qi said urgently,

Mrs. Cai kept her mourning secret and ordered a curfew in the city. But all the officials who were good friends with the eldest prince were arrested. ”

"The eldest prince, the arrow is on the string, I have to send it!"

Guan Yu urged.

Now that Liu Biao has died of illness, the city is controlled by Cai Yu, and the Cao army led by Yang Ling is rushing towards this side.

There are only two ways in front of Liu Qi, either according to Zhuge Liang's suggestion, take Xiangyang City, defend the city to the death, and resist Cao's army, or go south to Huang Zu.

But if the latter is chosen, and Cai Yu puts Liu Cong on the throne, then Liu Qi's identity will be embarrassing!

So after thinking about it, Liu Qi finally wiped away his tears and said in a deep voice,

"Mr. Kong Ming, just do as you say!"

When everyone heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

They were afraid that Liu Qi would be stubborn and refused to attack Xiangyang City.

"I also ask Li Muguan to return to the city first, and when we attack the city tonight, we will respond."

Zhuge Liang commanded.

"That's easy to say! Take care! ”

Li Qi bowed solemnly, turned around and walked towards the city.

After Liu Bei, Liu Qi and others discussed it carefully, they finally dispersed to rest, just waiting for tonight's big battle to come.

It was quickly darkening.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Liu Bei and his party led the soldiers and horses and quietly touched the city gate.

At this moment, there was a sudden shouting and screaming inside the city gate.

It was Li Qi who led more than 100 people loyal to Liu Qi to attack him in the city!

After a while, the gates slowly opened.

Li Qi, who was covered in blood, shouted at Liu Qi, Liu Bei and others,

"Eldest prince, Uncle Liu Huang, enter the city quickly!"

Liu Bei and Liu Qi and his party were overjoyed, and immediately commanded the soldiers and horses to attack the city.

However, at this moment, a loud shout sounded out of thin air,

"Wen Ping is here, who dares to attack the city?!"

When the words landed, he saw Wen Ping lead a group of men and horses and kill them out of the city.

Li Jue couldn't dodge and was killed by Wen Ping!

Seeing this, Guan Yu held the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his hand, slapped his horse forward, and killed Wen Ping in one place!

Seeing Guan Yu's first three knives, one knife was fiercer than the other, Wen Ping didn't dare to fight him, but he just dealt with him and didn't let them enter the city.

The two sides fought fiercely at the narrow city gate!

Liu Bei, Liu Qi and others in the rear were worried to see it!

If Cai Mao and Zhang Yun arrived with reinforcements, they would have no hope of taking Xiangyang City!

At this moment, another loud shout sounded in the night sky,

"The eldest prince and Uncle Liu Huang quickly enter the city!"

I saw Wei Yan leading a team of soldiers and horses to kill from the rear of Wenpin!

Wen Pingwan didn't expect that his generals would suddenly rebel!

He was caught off guard by being killed, and seeing that he was not the opponent of Guan Yu and Wei Yan, he could only clamp the horse's belly and retreat towards the rear!

In this way, Liu Bei and others also entered the city smoothly!

There was no time to thank Wei Yan, Liu Bei took the soldiers and horses, and went straight to the state pastor's mansion.

At this time, in the state pastor's mansion, Cai Yu, Cai Mao and others knew that Liu Bei was attacking the city, and they were quite nervous.

"De Jue, Liu Bei, they shouldn't attack in, right?"

Cai Yu said nervously.

"Second sister, rest assured, with the ability of Wenpin, it is impossible for Liu Bei to attack it."

Cai Mao comforted.

Hearing him say this, the tension in Cai Yu's heart eased a little.

She never thought that just after nightfall, Liu Biao would die.

Before they had time to grieve, Liu Bei and Liu Qi began to attack the city!

If they attack Xiangyang City before Yang Ling arrives, they will be in danger!

At this moment, Wen Ping suddenly rushed into the state pastor's mansion in embarrassment, and said with a ashamed face,

"General, the last general is incompetent, and the city gate is lost!"

"What?"

Cai Mao was dumbfounded on the spot.

I was just bragging about your bravery, and you threw away the city and came to slap me in the face?

Before Cai Yu and Cai Mao could recover from their shock, the shouts of killing came from outside the governor's mansion.

It didn't take long for Liu Bei and Liu Qi to take Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others to enter the state pastor's mansion.

Looking at the murderous soldiers around her, Cai Mao was frightened in her heart, and shouted inwardly,

"Eldest prince, do you want to rebel?"

Liu Qi, who was in control of the situation, only felt that the grievances in his heart were swept away.

He didn't talk nonsense with Cai Mao, and waved his hand,

"Someone, please ask my mother and General Dejun to go to the backyard to rest for a while!"

At this point, the entire Xiangyang City successfully fell under the control of Liu Bei and Liu Qi.

They first controlled all the Kuai brothers, Han Song and other officials who were loyal to Cai Yu and Liu Cong and tended to defect to Cao Cao.

Subsequently, the news that Liu Biao died and Liu Qi inherited his throne was notified to the whole city!

……

The lobby of the Governor's House.

In front of Liu Biao's coffin, Liu Qi, Liu Bei and others offered incense and saluted one after another.

After it was over, Liu Qi said hatefully to Liu Bei,

"Uncle, why don't you kill Cai Yu's poisonous woman and Cai Mao and the others directly?!"
