On the same day, after Cai Mao read out the will, Yi Zhi felt suspicious, so he quietly left the state capital and went straight to Fancheng to see Liu Bei.

Liu Bei said gratefully: "The last time I went to the banquet in Xiangyang, I was fortunate to be reminded by Uncle Ji in time to save my life!"

Yi Yi waved his hand and said: "The old thing is not worth mentioning. I have come here to tell you something important, and this matter is related to the fate of the entire Jingzhou. ”

Liu Bei asked: "What's the matter with Uncle Ji, in such a hurry?"

The Yi nationality told Liu Biao of his illness and Cai Mao read out the will to assist Liu Cong in ascending the throne.

Liu Bei was furious: "Jing Sheng's death, Cai Mao didn't send anyone to inform me! This will must be false! I am a close friend of Jing Sheng, and I know his personality very well, this is not like his style at all! I said that he should make Liu Qi the main and I as the auxiliary government, but he set up Liu Cong as the main and the Cai clan as the auxiliary government, this is obviously Cai Mao's trick! He wants to monopolize the power, it is too hateful!"

Yi Yuan also said angrily: "Cai Mao is cunning and selfish, I don't want to follow him anymore, I would rather follow Uncle Huang and create a great cause together." ”

"Uncle Ji just stay, I will immediately send someone to inform Liu Qi, ask him to ask the teacher to ask the guilt together, and see how Cai Mao answers!"

"That's very good. The fault is not Liu Cong, but Cai Mao, Uncle Huang must not blame the second son. ”

"Of course, Liu Cong is still young, smart and pure, and he will not be in the same league with him. Of course, Liu Bei can distinguish between turbid water and clear stream.

"Uncle Ji should go back first. Kong Ming spoke.

"Why?"

"I have a hunch that something big is going to happen in Jingzhou, and the forgery of the will is probably just a prelude, maybe Cai Mao will do something even more out of the ordinary. Uncle Ji still went back to listen to the news first, and then it was not too late to come to Uncle Huang. ”

"Big deal?" Liu Bei was puzzled.

"Yes. Kong Ming frowned, "Liu Cong is still young, and Cai Mao is in charge of all major affairs; Cao Cao is about to go to Jingzhou, and Cai Mao is likely to sell his master to seek glory." ”

"What do you mean, sir...", Izuku had a premonition.

"I expect Cai Mao to give Jingzhou away. Kong Ming said.

"What?!" everyone was shocked.

"Cao Cao used the name of the Son of Heaven to march south, and with the help of the White Tigers, Cai Mao did not dare to compete with him at all, what else could he do except Xianzhou? If this is the case, we will not be able to gain a foothold in Jingzhou. Ji Bo should return to Xiangyang as soon as possible to hear more news for us. ”

Yi Zhi said this, and immediately rushed back to Xiangyang.

Liu Bei suddenly felt a deep sense of self-reproach, if he had taken over the state seal at that time, why would he have such concerns? It was really "self-inflicted evil and could not live"! Under self-reproach, he wrote a book and asked Mi Fang to take it to Jiangxia and hand it over to Liu Qi.

Liu Qi was very indignant after reading it, and said: "They are really hateful, they tried to kill me in the past, but they couldn't do it, and now they have forged my father's will and made my brother the lord of the state, knowing that he is still too young to be a governor, this is obviously a force that fuels them!

The more Liu Qi spoke, the more angry he became, and he smashed his fist on the stone case.

Mi Fang said: "Kong Ming's military adviser said that Cai Mao is very likely to dedicate Jingzhou to Cao Cao. ”

"What?!" Liu Qi was shocked, "Is this true?"

"This is just the speculation of the military advisor, and the Iraqi have gone back to find out the news. ”

"If that's the case, I'll be the first to kill him!"

"Liu Gongzi, don't get excited, wait for the news to come and discuss countermeasures with Uncle Huang. ”

Liu Qi endured his anger and nodded.

Later, when Cao Cao arrived at the state capital and accepted Liu Cong's seal of Xianzhou, the Yi nationality present secretly left and used flying pigeons to convey the news of Cai Mao's Xianzhou. Everyone sighed.

Liu Bei said angrily: "It's just a villain! Jingsheng's bones are not cold, he has given away his inheritance, it is really despicable!"

Kong Ming frowned and said, "Now that Cao Cao's soldiers have won Jingzhou without blood, they can concentrate on dealing with us; ”

"What should I do?" Liu Bei was still blaming himself, but now he could only rely on Kong Ming.

"Don't be afraid, as long as you act according to the plan, even if you don't retreat from the enemy, you can protect yourself. Kong Ming didn't say anything to complain about the lord, but just shook the feather fan lightly, looking calm.

A new big war is about to break out, and Liu Beijun will go head-to-head with the White Tigers for the first time.

The next day, Xu Chu led 3,000 vanguard troops to Yushan, only to see that the mountains and forests were full of banners, red flags on the left and green flags on the right. Puzzled, he ordered a halt.

Suddenly, drums and gongs were beating in the mountains, and shouts shook the sky. He urgently ordered the sergeants to be ready for battle, ready to deal with the enemy troops coming down from the mountains.

After a while, the mountains calmed down. He thought for a moment and gave the order to move on.

Suddenly, the sound of gongs and drums and shouts began again, and he stopped the crowd.

Soon, the sound died down again. He was a little confused, so he ordered to pause his advance and sent someone to report to Xu Shu in the back.

After a while, the soldier replied: "General Qiyu, Xu joined the army and let us advance at full speed, the flags and voices in the mountains and forests are the enemy's delaying tactics, the purpose is to slow down the march of our army, so that we have more time to prepare for the battle." ”

Xu Chu suddenly realized, so he urged the army forward, and ordered not to pay attention to any movement when he heard it.

The army had just advanced for a mile, when suddenly there was a loud shout in the forest, and a group of men and horses ran back and forth in the forest with red and green flags. The flags on the hill became blue and yellow.

Xu Chu hurriedly led the army into the forest, but before he could enter, the enemy soldiers had retreated to the mountain.

Soon the flag on the mountain changed back to its original color. He also realized that this was a ploy by the enemy's suspicious soldiers to confuse the enemy, so he ordered to advance desperately.

Suddenly, a strong wind hit ahead, and everyone looked up, only to see a dense black spot appear in the sky. Numerous arrows came in a parabolic trajectory, and the vanguard was caught off guard and hit one after another, and the horses began to panic and neigh.

Xu Chu realized that the enemy army was starting to move, so he urgently ordered everyone to raise their shields to block it. He swung the sledgehammer in his hand and blocked several arrows. He looked ahead and saw a group of enemy troops using leaves as cover were rapidly withdrawing, apparently the other side was only delaying time and did not dare to stay long.

Xu Chu ordered the wounded soldiers to go to the roadside to heal their wounds on their own, so as not to affect the march of the army. Although he lost some men and horses, Cao Jun still reached Quewei Slope as fast as he could, and was about to continue to advance when he suddenly heard a loud noise on the mountain.

Xu Chu looked up and saw a huge umbrella on the top of the mountain, and there were two people sitting and drinking opposite each other, talking and laughing, leisurely.

Xu Chu was furious and ordered to attack the mountain. Suddenly, the army searched for the road to the mountain.

Suddenly, countless wooden cannon stones poured down on the mountain like a torrent. Cao Jun was unable to go up the mountain, panicked, and suffered numerous casualties, but the two of them were still cooking wine and discussing things, as if there was no one around.

Xu Chu was furious, and personally dismounted and rushed up the mountain. The wood and stone flow struck again, his body was huge, but his movements were extremely flexible, and he kept dodging left and right.

The hill was too steep for him to rush up and had to return to the ground.

At this time, the first team also arrived. The Moon Bow Tiger looked at the two people on the mountain from a distance and said, "The one on the left looks like Liu Bei, and the one on the right must be Kong Ming." Great, it's a godsend! Look at my golden arrows, kill two birds with one stone!"

He took the Great Moon Bow from his back, drew his bow and arrows, and aimed at the enemy. It's a pity that before the arrow left the string, the two suddenly disappeared.

"Hmph, even if you can escape quickly!" said the Moon Bow Tiger with regret.

The wood and stone were still rolling down, blocking the road ahead, and Cao's army could not advance.

The Moon Bow Tiger asked Xu Shu, "Do you want me to use my divine power to clear these roadblocks?"

Xu Shu thought for a while and said, "Don't use it for the time being." Don't go in if you're tired, let's go to Xinye to rest for one night. ”

So, Cao Jun turned and headed for Xinye from another road.

The third team led by Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan had been stationed in Xinye City, and when they saw Xu Chu and his entourage arriving, they opened the city gate and welcomed the army into the city. As everyone knows, this place will become a city of fire.

When the army entered the city, they saddled their horses and rested in their houses. It was almost midnight, the weather was getting colder, and the wind was gradually coming with the night.

The Raging Black Tiger, the Ghost Tiger, and the Moon Bow Tiger are resting in a tiled house. Suddenly, the Ghost Tiger asked, "Do you smell a strange smell?"

Angry Black Tiger became alert when he heard what he said, and said, "Indeed, from the moment I entered the city, I smelled a strange smell, and I didn't pay attention to it at the time; ”

The Ghost Tiger sniffed sharply and said, "It seems to smell of sulfur." ”

The angry black tiger suddenly woke up: "There must be ambushes in this city, they want to set fire to the city!"

The ghost tiger hurriedly jumped on the roof, saw a pile of grass pressed under the roof tiles, lifted the tiles and touched the grass, sticky. He smelled it, it smelled like grease, and then he lifted the grass and found that it was mixed with yellow particles.

"Sulfur and grease!" Ghost Tiger raised his eyes into the distance, his night vision was better than that of ordinary people, and when he noticed a similar situation on other rooftops, he hurried to report to the Angry Black Tiger.

The angry black tiger took the case: "They want to burn us to death! Quickly arrange for people to go to every roof to clean up these things, and send people to search every corner to clear the enemy troops hiding in the city!"

Before the words fell, the fire was blazing in the distance, and someone shouted that it was on fire. Suddenly, all sides were covered by a flood of fire. It turned out that not only the roof, but also the clay pots and poultry sheds were planted in advance. The fire grew bigger and bigger with the help of the wind, turning Shinno into a sea of fire in an instant. The arsonists trained by Zhiming and Xiao Song are not only secretive, but also act neatly, and can simultaneously achieve the purpose of arson in a short time. The plan to burn down the new field began to be implemented.

"Send someone to fetch water to put out the fire!" ordered the angry black tiger.

"It's too late, the fire is too fierce!" "The ghost tiger was sweating in the heat.

"Let me try!" the Moonbow Tiger rushed out of the house.

He began to use his internal strength, letting out a sky-high roar. Suddenly, a cloud of carbon dioxide-like gas was released from his mouth, forming multiple streams of air, which flew scattered towards various nearby fire points - this was his special skill "Fire Extinguishing Technique".

This trick really worked, and the surrounding fire suddenly decreased. Unfortunately, the good times were short-lived, and the Moonbow Tiger's fire-fighting skills were too long to extinguish the fires farther away, and as the night breeze rose quickly, and the mixture of grass and sulfur slowly rekindled the flames that had disappeared.

The angry black tiger observed the situation for a moment and said, "It seems that the fire cannot be reduced. Moon Bow Tiger, you immediately inform General Xiahou and let Cao's army withdraw from the city first, and the White Tiger team will stay behind, led by Ghost Shadow Tiger, and the main task is to clear out the enemy forces in the city!"

Considering the urgency of the situation, the Moon Bow Tiger could not care about protecting the snow cicada for the time being, so he had to order two soldiers to take care of her, and hurried to Xiahou Xuan's camp.

Xue Cicada also realized that the war had begun, and the situation was very unfavorable to Cao Jun, otherwise the Moon Bow Tiger would not easily let her go. She's starting to implement an escape plan.

The third team led by Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan was also besieged by fire at the moment, and it was difficult to get out for a while. Several soldiers were busy fetching water to extinguish it, but it was only a drop in the bucket and to no avail.

Just when everyone was helpless, the fire suddenly went out one after another. A black figure rushed in from outside the sea of fire and said, "I am the Moon Bow Tiger of the White Tiger Team, please General Xiahou lead the men and horses of the headquarters to withdraw out of the city first, and our White Tiger Team will be responsible for the aftermath!"

Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou thanked the Moon Bow Tiger and immediately led the army to rush to the nearest city gate. The Moon Bow Tiger used fire extinguishing techniques to escort all the way, but unfortunately the situation was still out of control.

The city was in chaos, and Cao's army trampled on each other, killing and wounding countless people—some of them were killed in the flames, some of them were dragging their tails of fire and jumping like lost dogs, and those who were not on fire were busy helping their comrades put out the fire. Cao's army had been completely disrupted by this sudden fire.
