A day later, Liu Biao was still saved, but this time he was already angry, and the medical officer knew that he could not be saved.

If they can do it, maybe it will be just one or two days, prolonging their lives with medicine, hanging their last breath, and having a few words to say is already their greatest ability.

Liu Biao's face felt a lot thinner, even the skeleton collapsed into it, Mrs. Cai took care of it, and the rest of the civil and military were in the outhouse.

So when he woke up, he could only see this lady who had been married for less than ten years, the daughter of the Cai family, and gave birth to another son Liu Cong for him.

"Ma'am."

Liu Biao shouted weakly, and now he has to take a few deep breaths to even speak, so that he can ease down a little.

Mrs. Cai was on the side, Liu Biao reached out to grab his hand, but he couldn't catch it, and the moment he touched it, the latter retracted his hand directly.

Mrs. Cai may be blaming Liu Biao for being so cruel to her relatives yesterday, of course, it may also be afraid, afraid that this kind of ruthlessness and decisiveness will be used on her in the future.

This action made Liu Biao's body stiffen again, so Liu Biao looked at the roof of the house, sighed and said: "Those who hold the fire for everyone must not be frozen to death in the wind and snow." ”

"Liu Xuande, with benevolence and righteousness, come out of Xudu, you can raise the banner against Cao, protect my Liu's Han country, and tell the world how the Son of Heaven suffers in Xudu."

"He is the only one who is still raising the banner against Cao after Dong Cheng and others, if it were not for him, maybe after the Cao Yuan dispute in the north, all the princes of the world would be submissive to the Cao clan and gradually swallowed up."

"And now, we are treating people who are also relatives and have lofty ideals in this way, isn't it chilling?"

Mrs. Cai knelt in front of her, bowed her head and said nothing, her face was very cold, and she almost didn't say a word.

It's a bit wooden.

"The concubine body, the concubine body can't understand."

Mrs. Cai muttered to herself, although her voice was small, Liu Biao could also hear the movement, and it was difficult to say anything more.

But people are also good at dying, and after Liu Biao still asked a few words, he finally relented: "Let Cai Mao go." ”

"In the last period, tell my relatives and friends that everyone who can come to see me will come, I don't know how long I can last, but I have to explain everything one by one, especially Qi'er, I must tell him that I am seriously ill now, and he will definitely come back from Jiangxia to see me!"

"Okay."

Mrs. Cai nodded coldly in response.

At this point, Cai Mao was released, and a lot of news came out from Xiangyang, Liu Biao was seriously ill, and ordered someone to go to see him, and the words were also passed to Liu Bei and Liu Qi.

Liu Qi came from Jiangxia hundreds of gallops, but was stopped outside Xiangyang City, Cai Mao looked cold on the head of the city, standing on the spot, surrounded by archers with bows and arrows waiting.

"Childe, the lord has ordered that you must not leave your post without permission! Please also ask the son to go back to Jiangxia immediately. ”

"General Cai Mao! I'm here, please open the door and let me take a look at my father! I have been thinking about it for a long time, knowing that my father is seriously ill and dying soon, and I ask the general to have mercy and don't stop it again!! ”

"Childe! Focus on the big picture!! There is no difference in these moments!! It is necessary to stabilize the military situation and the people's situation in various places, so that Jingzhou will not be in chaos! So don't leave your post without permission!! ”

Cai Mao's face was cold at the head of the city, and his mind was originally a little loose, but after thinking for a while, he still became cold.

A tough voice said loudly: "Childe, please go back immediately!" ”

"Cai Mao! I'm here, and I'll open the gates so I can see my father!" Why do you do it? ”

When Liu Qi heard this, he already understood that Cai Mao refused to let him enter the city and deliberately came here to stop him, which was no longer as simple as letting him do his duty.

There was also anger rising in his heart, and he suddenly scolded angrily, "Cai Mao! When you do this, people and gods are angry! ”

"You must be plotting against Jingzhou!"

"Cai Mao, have you rebelled!"

In this city, almost all of Cai Mao's soldiers are not afraid of this kind of questioning at all, and Liu Qi is indeed far away.

Naturally, I couldn't hear any heavy words.

Cai Mao released arrows with a cold face at the archers standing sideways, and a round of arrows was shot in front, Liu Qi's war horse was frightened, Herod yelled a few times, and retreated.

Liu Qi grabbed the reins in a panic and looked at the city gate in astonishment, this Cai Mao actually did it!

"Cai Mao!"

Liu Qi immediately retreated, not daring to approach the city gate again, lest he be shot by the rain of arrows.

In Xiangyang City, there must have been a big mess, Cai Mao and others must be forcing the palace, and the situation has already been controlled.

Liu Qi remembered that when he left Xiangyang and went to Jiangxia to be too punctual, Liu Biao solemnly and earnestly said to him, everything is about Jiangxia, and he can't go back to Xiangyang.

"Cai Mao ......"

Liu Qi gritted his teeth, turned the horse's head, grabbed the reins and clamped the back of the war horse, and left in tears.

Jingzhou will change hands.

In fact, Liu Biao had already noticed such a change and made a layout in advance.

Liu Qi had no choice but to leave with tears in his eyes, and looked back at the city gate tower again, without the slightest plan to resist in his heart.

Cai Mao saw Liu Qi far away with a humble eye, and gradually settled down in his heart, and there was no turning back from the matter, so he could only go one way to the dark.

Only by following closely behind the Cao family and surrendering to the command of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty can the Cai family survive in the future, otherwise according to Liu Biao, he will detain these grains in public.

has made it difficult for Cai Mao to gain a foothold, and in the future, he may be scolded by people pointing at his nose, poking his backbone and hating and laughing, and defining him as a villain who wants to make money and secretly make trouble.

Cai Mao really can't afford these reputations, only by making meritorious contributions to the new master can he really clear all these charges, and he can gain fame again in the future.

After Liu Qi left, Cai Mao ordered all the sergeants not to spread the word and suppressed the matter.

The soldiers and horses guarding Xiangyang City here have all been replaced by his henchmen, and these people will definitely hear Cai Mao's orders.

For several days, Liu Biao didn't wait for Liu Qi, and when he asked, Cai Mao only said that he didn't come.

And he asked the medical officer to add to the medicine some herbs that made him feel sluggish and drowsy, but which could be mixed with the medicine he was now using.

Therefore, a few days of treatment were useless, Mrs. Cai fed Liu Biao food, and finally, his body became more and more depressed and could no longer support it.

By the end of October, the late autumn had passed, and when the early winter came, Liu Biao felt that his body was really not likely to get better, and it was getting worse day by day, so he gave up the idea of survival.

called someone to prepare for the future, and wanted to leave his official position and title to Liu Qi, and let Liu Qi come to lead the nine counties of Jingxiang.

This incident made Mrs. Cai finally angry.

"Liu Qi didn't even look at you, you still want to leave it to him? Why did you appoint him to inherit the official position? ”

"Isn't it okay for Cong'er? During this time, he stayed outside day and night, waiting to visit you at any time, and you were indifferent! ”

Liu Biao gasped, his neck was thick and red, he couldn't speak, he was out of breath and couldn't breathe, he wanted to reply but couldn't speak, and he beat the bed in excitement.

But this time, no more guards came in, those people had been secretly replaced by Mrs. Cai, and they were transferred to the headquarters of the Cai family.

"I don't care, the successor must be Cong'er, he is now nine years old, why can't he lead Jingzhou, and his uncle helps lead the troops, Liu Qi must not sit back and enjoy his success."

"You, you, you!" Liu Biao pointed at Mrs. Cai, her face was full of redness, her expression was pale in a very short time, her lips were dry and bloodless, and she collapsed.

"Now, the whole mansion is full of people from the Cai family, I thought that if you missed our mother, I would give you a good ride, but I didn't expect you to be so kind to us."

Mrs. Cai's face was full of resentment, and she changed her previous appearance of being submissive and unskilled in words in front of Liu Biao's eyes, and even her eyes were red and bloodshot.

"You ......"

When Liu Biao raised his hand again, he was already weak, and fell directly on the bed.

At this time, Cai Mao walked in, approached Mrs. Cai, and whispered softly, "How is it?" Dead? ”

"No, I don't know ......"

Cai shook his head.

Cai Mao slowly approached, saw Liu Biao facing the sky on his back, opened and closed his mouth slightly several times, and then there was no movement.

He stretched out his hand to sniff, feeling that there was still a little movement, Cai Mao's eyes lit up, picked up the pillow next to him and immediately pressed it.

"What do you do!"

"Death is fast, let him be thorough!"

Cai Mao gritted her teeth and said, and at the same time, the strength in her hand increased more and more, and she pressed it very hard.

It wasn't until Liu Biao's legs were loosened and there was no longer any movement that Cai Mao still pressed a dozen more breaths before slowly trying to sit on one side.

When Mrs. Cai saw this scene, she looked at her brother in horror, and she didn't dare to take a big breath, she was afraid that she would also be killed.

"Don't worry, sister."

Cai Mao breathed a sigh of relief, "Now, it should really be deceased, what does his will say?" ”

"Pass the throne to Liu Cong!"

Mrs. Cai still had palpitations, looking at the body of Liu Biao who was already lying, and her tears couldn't stop flowing.

But thinking that he has never missed his mother and mother at all, and he doesn't plan to leave anything to him, he is extremely uncomfortable in his heart, and complex emotions are still accumulating and entangled.

I don't even know what to think.

At this time, Cai Mao was already stunned.

Don't give it to Liu Cong? Don't give at all?

Liu Cong is also a son, although he is not the eldest son, but he will not be left behind, so he can't support Liu Cong and treat it like this, right?

If so, Liu Cong did the Jingzhou Thorn History and Jingzhou Mu, Liu Qi was still too guarded by Jiangxia, and he still had soldiers and horses under him to guard the border to prevent the army of Eastern Wu.

"That's a ......"

Cai Mao's face froze, he didn't expect it to be such a testament, "Changed." ”

The two glanced at each other, and immediately said in a deep voice.

In these words, the mood was already very firm, "There is no need to wait, Kuai Yue will be summoned quickly, and another copy can be written soon, and then the whole territory will be announced, I will let the soldiers and horses control Xiangyang, and then call all those Taishou and others over." ”

"You can definitely get it down, don't worry, we still have soldiers and horses in Xiangyang, all of them can be collected, and with Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang, the Taishou officials from all over the country will be attached."

"Really, really?"

Mrs. Cai has no support now, she can only rely on her own family, Cai Mao is a general who commands hundreds of thousands of troops, and she is also experienced in a hundred battles.

Now the only one who can stabilize the situation in Jingzhou is Cai Mao.

At that moment, after thinking for a long time, Mrs. Cai immediately nodded and didn't dare to be entangled anymore, so Cai Mao immediately went to call someone to do something.

The Kuai brothers were soon called, and after Cai Mao explained the situation, Kuai Yue only frowned.

The people of their clan understood very well that they wanted to preserve the existing peace, as well as the glory and wealth...... Then you must surrender to the Cao clan, otherwise once the battle is defeated, there will be nothing.

Now that Liu Biao is also dead, many officials may not be willing to fight to the death so much.

So Kuai Yue immediately agreed to Cai Mao, and only the four of them knew about it, and it would definitely rot in the stomach in the future.

As soon as the edict came out, the territory suddenly became lively, and there was a great uproar, and people everywhere talked about it.

Liu Biao died, and even many people and scholars paid tribute at home, the three armies wore white, and the family wore filial piety.

The whole of Xiangyang is a person of concern.

How true is the edict, but not so many people pursue the truth.

……

Shinno.

Liu Bei received the news and made a tablet for Liu Biao in the house and put a few pillars of incense.

mourned for a day and cried for Liu Biao.

After that, he knew about Jingzhou's arrangements and passed the throne to Liu Cong.

So he summoned two brothers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, to come closer, and the three brothers discussed follow-up matters.

"Yun Chang, Yide, the current situation is even more critical, we must abandon the city and leave, if the successor is Liu Qi's son, naturally it will be fine, we can continue to garrison here."

"But Liu Cong succeeded to the throne, hum......" Liu Bei sighed and smiled, and breathed a long sigh of relief, "In fact, it is the Cai family who succeeds to the throne." ”

"So we were originally a thorn in his Cai's side, how can we still gain a foothold in Xinye? How have the people been gathered? ”

Guan Yu said in a deep voice: "Brother Gaoyi, the people have been attached to him all these years, and I am grateful for his benevolence." ”

"They are all willing to follow their brothers, and even if they don't want to, they can't stay in Xinye City."

When Liu Bei heard this, his face slowly became relieved, and he nodded slightly.

It seems that these days are still quite popular with the people, and now that the people are attached, they can follow and go, and Xinye City can naturally become an empty city.

There are many plans that can be made in the empty city.

"Okay, that's great! Cai Mao won the position of Jingzhou, which means that Liu Qi will definitely listen to his father's words and accept our army. ”

"Now, let's go to Jiangxia to meet Liu Qi first, as for Cao Jun, then leave it to Cai Mao to prepare, after the Xinye City is broken, Cao Cao will definitely not chase after him immediately."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei glanced at each other, and Zhang Fei gestured to Guan Yu.

After hesitating for a moment, although Guan Yu's face was embarrassed, he also spoke: "Then, 200,000 people follow us, isn't this ......?"

I can't ask for it!

Liu Bei's expression moved, the people were behind him, why not, so that it could block the pace of Cao Jun, they had been based on benevolence and virtue over the years, just like me.

How could it be possible to hurt the people?!

"Yun Chang, I can't abandon the people!"

Liu Bei was righteous, with a sincere demeanor, "Even if you die, you must not hurt the hearts of the people, even if they are caught up by Cao Jun because of their slow pace, they will fight to protect the people, this is the creed that I have adhered to all my life, and I must not violate it." ”

"Big brother!!" Guan Yu's face was swollen and red, and he only felt distressed, thinking about the people so much, he would rather let himself be wronged.

Such benevolence is rare in the world.
