From beginning to end, Liu Bei never spoke, and kept muffling on the table, his eyes were so empty that he seemed to be a walking corpse, but at this moment, many thoughts emerged in his heart.

Benevolence and righteousness are a lifetime, and they are as they are ordered.

It will end up like this, Cai Mao and others, so deducting grain and grass, filling their pockets is not greedy for these money and grain, for them they don't need this money to show their "wealth" at all, hundreds of thousands of grain and grass are still constantly deducted within a few years.

It is true that it does not make a sailor governor much richer, but it can raise a lot of sergeants.

Then he dared to do this kind of thing behind Liu Biao's back, because he really looked down on Liu Bei, so he would be so secretive, or he didn't want them to enter Jingzhou.

In this case, there was no need to accept it at the beginning, so why bother to let me stay, and then transferred to Xinye to govern, many cities and counties in the land of Nanyang themselves have been in my hands, but I never thought of appointing Nanyang Taishou.

It should have been thought of a long time ago.

Their precaution has never decreased, and even Liu Biao has treated it so sincerely over the years, and has been relieving his heart many times, and talking about wine, which may be fake.

Liu Bei suddenly closed his eyes and turned his back to the sky.

I felt my heart beating faster and faster, and my body was heating up and burning.

In the end, he turned into anger, punched the case, and roared angrily: "Cai Mao traitor, deceive people too much!" ”

"Such a secret ghost! I didn't want this grain and grass, but he kept it in secret! When Liu Bei stood up at this moment, his face was extremely angry, almost flushed, and he was full of anger and could not vent.

"In this way, my reputation is ruined!"

Liu Bei gasped deeply, in fact, in his opinion, what was really ruined was not his reputation, but his face in the minds of these Jingzhou scholars.

Now Cai Mao is acting like this, although it is secretive, but it is not really airtight, and some people will understand that the officials of Jingzhou do not welcome his arrival.

Some people will speculate that Liu Bei is plotting against Jingzhou, so Cai Mao will be so deductive.

And those who don't know about these things at all will feel that Liu Bei is just hired by Liu Biao to station soldiers and horses in Xinye, so there is no need to ask for so much.

In short, all his thoughts were completely different from what he originally thought.

Miserable.

Liu Bei is not afraid of being misunderstood and disliked, if Jingzhou does not regard him as a friend, even if he refuses at the beginning, he can also go to Jiangdong or Shuzhong to ask for a place to stay.

In short, they have now held high the banner of anti-Cao, claiming that the Son of Heaven is suffering in Xudu, Cao Cao is really a thief, and the most hostile to Cao Cao in the world should be Liu Bei.

What he is afraid of is that he is still in the dark because he is disliked, and even has to make himself amorous to repay this kindness, which is really miserable to think about.

It's like a harlequin.

Tricked into the palm of his hand.

"Abandon the city!"

Liu Bei gritted his teeth and said with a sharp look in his eyes, "Don't want this city, let Nanyang out, and according to the agreement between me and Liu Qi before, I will go to Jiangxia!" ”

"In Jiangxia, there are still more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, which are reserved for Liu Qi."

Liu Bei still had a sentence in his heart, but he didn't say it immediately, just smiled faintly.

It's just that this smile is very bitter, so bitter that it is already full of hatred, and even a sharp gaze is hidden in it, but no one notices it for the time being.

And Sun Qian and Jian Yong couldn't know Liu Bei's thoughts.

Xu Zhen's series of tactics and rumors did not defeat Liu Biao, but now he is almost about to defeat Liu Bei.

He is now willing to maintain the benevolence and righteousness he deserves, and he is really in a very good state of mind and firm in will.

Cai Mao's move is undoubtedly a big hate.

……

Three days later, a letter and countless rumors still arrived in front of Liu Biao.

He was so angry that he fainted on the spot, and immediately fell on the desk, spitting a mouthful of blood on the desk of the black wooden panel.

frightened the civil and military officials of the entire Xiangyang, although these people belonged to the Shi clan, they were all appointed by Liu Biao, and these were all grateful people.

Jingzhou scholars, although they scolded Xu Bowen, they laughed heartily when they scolded, and even regarded it as a romantic affair at that time, and they could be scolded for many more years in the future.

But they still have character in their hearts and know etiquette, righteousness and shame.

However, although the matter spread quickly, no one knew what was written in the letter, only that it was written by Uncle Liu Huang, who lived in Jingzhou and kept losing battles in Xinye.

Under the divergent opinions, the news has spread quite outrageously in half a day.

But Liu Biao naturally didn't know about this, and when he woke up, it was already late at night.

All the famous doctors in the local city have repeatedly given him medication and treatment, and at this time he has only been relieved slightly, and he has already caused qi symptoms due to the upsurge of breath, causing him to almost lose his breath.

However, even if he was saved, half of his life was long gone.

"Where's Madame?"

Liu Biao woke up for a long time, and didn't say a word at first, just looked at the top of the bed, his face expressionless.

No matter what the people around me say, it seems that they don't hear it, and they ignore it.

I didn't say such a thing until now.

Mrs. Cai immediately went out of the crowd and arrived at his bed, but fortunately she did not go to another courtyard, but in the courtyard, otherwise I am afraid that she may not be able to rush back now.

"Husband......

Mrs. Cai half-knelt down with a sad face and threw herself on the couch, "How do you feel?" ”

"It's okay," Liu Biao waved his hand, he was not moved, his expression was still quite cold, "Your younger brother, Cai Mao." ”

"But you want to be the lord of Jingzhou? Want to take over the official position of Jingzhou Mu? If he wants, I can give him the place, anyway, I'm old for a long time, and I don't have much to live well. ”

After hearing this, Mrs. Cai was confused, why did she suddenly say such a thing.

"Why did you say that?" Mrs. Cai asked in amazement, shocked, even if there was nothing in her heart, she must be extremely flustered now, not to mention that there was indeed something hidden in her heart, and she always felt that a big disaster was coming.

Liu Biao's eyes narrowed, "Bring the person, you personally ask him, where is the guard!" ”

"Lord!"

More than a dozen tall and strong, stubborn guards stood up and responded with fists clenched.

These people responded with weapons, which made everyone in the hall startled, whispering, and thinking that what was going to happen next might make them no longer at peace.

"Go and take down Cai Mao and Cai Zhong, and send them here after tying them up, all civil and military forces must not leave, they are all above this hall today, if you don't understand some things, don't go back."

When Liu Biao said this, the person slowly struggled to get up and sat up, his face was pale and his hair was messy, and his white underwear was splashed with blood.

The gray beard is fluttering, the skin is thin and the bones are so thin that the edges and corners are visible, and the traces are obvious and clear, and it is already in a state of dying.

However, he still sat upright, with his legs spread and his hands on his knees, with an extremely serious expression.

The guards had to be ordered to leave, and Mrs. Cai was silent at this time, so she could only bow her head and remain silent, not daring to ask what happened.

The two brothers didn't dare to ask questions, so they could only look at each other slightly, take a deep breath, and their eyes shook.

I know that there is a big event, but I can't guess Liu Biao's mind for the time being, and I don't know what else he thinks.

The rest of the people didn't know why, and naturally they didn't know what the trouble was.

After waiting for a long time, the guards tied up the two from outside the city, and at the same time mobilized a thousand elite armor guards near the government office.

Occupy all the main roads in and out, almost ready to fight, although it can be killed, it just so happens that all these important officials in Xiangyang are here.

Cai Mao was escorted to the lobby, and Liu Biao was full of anger, staring at Cai Mao who was kneeling on the ground like a prisoner.

"Lord?! Dare to ask what crime the last will commit? Why did you suddenly catch the last general......

"Why all of a sudden? All these days, the sergeant has been training and has not made a mistake! ”

"Even if there is a mistake, a guilty order should be issued, and the guilt should be proven! Fang An Junxin, if you arrest me like this, how will you lead the army in the future!? ”

Liu Biao grinned and sneered, "Hmph, you are still thinking about quibbling, let me ask you how this letter came about." ”

A bloody letter is still on the case, and Liu Biao can take it at his fingertips, with Liu Bei's bitter voice of accountability written on it, and it is clearly stated that raising troops in Xinye over the years is not with Liu Biao's money and food, but Xinye's own painstaking management.

It should not be the sacrifice of Cai Mao's conspiracy, Cai Mao was in it, greedy for 160,000 military rations, otherwise how could there be only a full stomach and no surplus food, although the local people have benevolent government, but they have not been rich.

"Prepare to live in Xinye Town, if there are no soldiers and horses, you can't defend the border, only recruit troops to calm the people's hearts, but the food is not enough, now I hear, my brother's four years and 160,000 grains, all of which are greedy for Cai Mao, it is really unbearable, if so, there is no need to give food."

"It's a new wild thing, there is no need to be difficult, so it is shameful to detain private treasures."

Being able to say this kind of thing in a letter is enough to show that Liu Bei is extremely angry.

Cai Mao's face was immediately stunned, and all the strength in his body fell down because of this, and his hands fell weakly and he didn't say more, this matter was actually stabbed at this time, and there were so many people in the audience.

They are all civil and military in Jingzhou, and most of them are acquaintances, and their actions at that time were not secretive, but they were sure that Liu Bei did not dare to ask, and no one spoke for him.

In addition, he gradually became powerful in Jingzhou and controlled a lot of military power, and Liu Biao's body was also getting worse day by day.

There's nothing to be afraid of, but now I'm suddenly caught here, and I can't move, it can be said that I'm a knife and I'm a fish, and there's nothing to be done.

If Liu Biao was about to kill him, Cai Mao would have no power to fight back, because this time, he had already been preempted by Liu Biao.

These people outside must be his foundation, but not all, I don't know yet, even if a lord shows weakness, he definitely has his own bottom.

If you want to kill a powerful minister, as long as the timing is right, it is not too difficult, unless the powerful minister can rush out with a thousand punches.

Cai Mao is obviously impossible, he has already been arrested.

"Say!" Liu Biao was extremely excited, his eyes were slightly red on his pale face, and his expression was completely angry, "Why do you want to be like this!?" But I want to be the lord of Jingzhou and usurp my position!? ”

"Nope!" Cai Mao's eyes widened, and he hurriedly knelt down and retreated, "I really don't like Liu Bei, I deliberately did it to secretly force him to leave, these military rations are not privately swallowed, they are still hoarded in the military camp, and the lord can take them back at any time!" ”

"Heh," Liu Biao immediately sneered, "Don't like Liu Bei?" Did I say that I would take Liu Bei under my command so that he could live here? ”

"Yes! Said! Cai Mao gritted her teeth now, probably planning to go all the way to the dark, and raised her voice and said: "However, Liu Bei must be plotting against Jingzhou, so he will flee here early, Yuan Shao is kind to him, but he abandoned it, and Gongsun Zhan was even carried by him in the early years, so that Liu Bei has the ability to make a career, but he has never shared hardships with him, with these two things, I can't let him harm Jingzhou." ”

"My lord! This Liu Bei is by no means an ordinary person! He's a wolf with ambition! Don't stay! You can know why Cao Cao is in a hurry to go south, it seems that he is interested in my Jingzhou, but in fact, he wants to hunt down Liu Bei! Liu Bei also betrayed him! ”

"You are presumptuous! Even if you have any suspicions, don't cross me and deal with it yourself! Secretly withhold the military rations given to Liu Bei! Such a taboo! You deserve death! Liu Biao's right hand was raised, his eyes were sharp, and he shouted: "Left and right, launch the decapitation!" ”

"Whoa!"

The guards here were ordered, and Liu Biao had already coughed heavily because of his excitement, and Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang were immediately anxious.

Don't drive Liu Xian, the chief bookkeeper Wang Jun, and Zhizhong Deng Yi, they are all shouting admonishments at the moment, and their voices are chaotic, which makes Liu Biao's heart uncomfortable and difficult to calm down.

In order to suppress these voices, he could only slam the table, stand up with a bang, his hair scattered and glaring at everyone angrily, "Who dares to plead for grain and grass in the army!" ”

"Lord!" Kuai Yue hurriedly arched his hand and said: "This is not a private possession of greedy ink, but a strong advocate that the lord should not accept Liu Bei, this person must have objections!" From the fact that he continues to visit and recruit hermits in my Jingzhou, we can understand that his heart will be strong! If he is not in peace, he wants a grand plan! ”

"The lord must think twice!"

"Please think again! General Cai Mao can't be killed! ”

"Husband!"

Mrs. Cai immediately came out from the side, knelt on the ground, her face was full of tears, and cried: "Husband, Cai Mao has been a general in Jingzhou all these years, and she has worked hard and made great achievements, how can she kill her own heroes for an outsider now!" ”

"Think twice!"

"Lord!" Kuai Liang also frowned, clasped his fists and bowed, and said loudly: "Killing the hero and calming Liu Bei's anger will only ruin your reputation of virtue. How can it be ruined by this! He originally occupied Xinye, which is already a great favor! Whether or not to give food or grass is only related to the gift, and we do not owe it to him! ”

"Not bad! The lord must not be like this, he flatters his clan relatives in every way, and has no mercy for the internal heroes! It chills the Jingzhou scholars! The great cause of the Lord is still there, how can it be ruined by an outsider! ”

Liu Xian and Deng Yi are all ministers of internal governance who have made great achievements around them, not to mention the hard work over the years, there is little infamy outside, most of them are deeds recited by the people, and they also have admirable qualities.

These people, now all of them are full of righteous indignation and generous statements, and these words are sound, as if a hammer has hit Liu Biao's chest, which makes him shocked.

He had thought that someone would stand up against such an order, but he didn't expect that there would be so many.

"You, you ......"

Liu Biao's qi and blood surged upside down here, and he felt that his eyes were suddenly dizzy, and he pinched the corner of the case, supported it for a moment, and suddenly shook his body and stiffened, and fell down from one side.

I don't know if I live or die.

The hall was suddenly in chaos, "Lord! Lord!!! ”

The guards were about to pull Cai Mao out to behead him, but he was stopped by Mrs. Cai, and immediately sent a medical officer to treat him.

At this moment, Xiangyang, because of Liu Bei's letter, has reached the most chaotic time.

However, Cai Mao, who was kneeling down, looked slightly gloomy at this time.

You can't wait any longer, you have to make up your mind early.

Good New Year, Good New Year, Happy New Year, happy code word
