The Assassin Empire of the Three Kingdoms

When Zhang Yun came to Fancheng again, his mouth was much sweeter, his speech was more polite, and his work was thoughtful. He even dedicated Jingzhou's army deployment map and topographical map to Long Fei.These things were all explained by Cai Mao.The Cai family has been in Jingzhou for so many years and has always been in charge of Jingzhou's soldiers and horses. After Liu Biao came to Jingzhou, he used strong means to win over the local tyrants, married the second lady of the Cai family through marriage, and gave the Cai family the military power of Jingzhou, and got the Cai family's Support, so as to gain a firm foothold in Jingzhou.

It can be said that as long as the Cai family likes whoever they like, they can be the Lord of Jingzhou.Zhuge Liang is still too young. Although he has learned unparalleled knowledge in the world, he still doesn't know enough about the activities between these powerful landlords and the government.It can be regarded as a mistake to slaughter Cai's family, provoke a mutiny, and let Cai Mao break the boat and come together with Long Fei.

Liu Bei turned around in a hurry.Of course he knew the movement in Jiangbei, seeing that Long Fei was coming, but Liu Qi in Jiangxia hadn't moved at all. There were already problems in the city, because of the shortage of food and grass, there were many incidents where soldiers competed with the people for food.Liu Bei looked at his subordinates: "What should we do now? Xiangyang is about to become an isolated city. If we don't leave, I'm afraid we won't last for ten days!"

"Ten days should be no problem!" Ma Liang stood up and cupped his hands to Liu Bei: "We don't have many soldiers and horses, and the daily consumption is not big. My family still has some food, which can be used for emergencies, but Long Fei behind him is a bit troublesome. , His attitude is not clear, we have no way to act."

"Long Fei, your attitude is not clear!" Sun Gan smiled: "Long Fei has a grudge against the lord, and he can't wait to kill him soon. This time he came here to take Jingzhou. What's not clear about this, everything in his way It is a stumbling block, including us."

Ma Su smiled.Ma Liang glared fiercely, and Ma Su hurriedly turned his face away.Zhuge Liang looked calm and stood aside without saying a word.Liu Bei kept looking at him, but he pretended he didn't see it.Liu Bei couldn't bear it anymore and asked: "Mr. Zhuge, what should we do now? Whether to leave or stay, you can make up your mind!"

"Stay!" Zhuge Liang spoke concisely, and everyone took it for granted.Liu Bei was very helpless, it was too late to say anything at this point, and he could only resign himself to his fate. He regretted asking Zhuge Liang to come here. Jingzhou was messed up, and it was hard to say whether he would live or die.That night, Liu Bei quietly called Guan and Zhang to his room.

Liu Bei cut to the chase: "Two brothers, the matter is urgent. If anything happens, the two brothers will run away immediately. Don't look back."

When Zhang Fei heard this, he said angrily: "What did the elder brother say? When the three of us swore, we said that we don't want to live together but die together. How can we leave elder brother at such a critical juncture!"

"Brother, don't worry, our brothers will definitely keep you safe!" Guan Yu stroked his beard and looked at Liu Bei.

Zhang Yun came back with Li Ru.In Cai Mao's camp, Li Ru read out the emperor's imperial edict.According to Long Fei's instruction, the imperial decree clearly stated that Cai Mao was moved to be Situ and Wu Yan Township Marquis; Zhang Yun was worshiped as Sikong and Anping Township Marquis; Cai Zhong and Cai He were also promoted to generals to assist Zhennan General Long Fei handles Jingzhou affairs together.At the same time, seal ribbons were sent, and various rewards were countless.Kneeling down to receive the imperial decree, everyone was somewhat excited.

Li Ru cupped his hands at the two of them and said, "Congratulations, my lords, you are already a high-ranking and powerful person, and I hope you will support me a lot in the future!"

Zhang Yun smiled: "Mr. Li was joking."

Cai Mao ordered someone to set up a banquet to welcome Li Ru. From this moment on, they were considered a family.Speaking of the Jingzhou matter, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun patted their chests and promised that as long as they stood at the gates of the major cities, all the eunuchs inside would come out obediently and surrender.The three of them exchanged cups and drank too much when they saw each other.Cai Mao and Zhang Yun lost the restraint they had just had.

Zhang Yun untied his clothes and sat reclined on the cushion: "Mr. Li, let me tell you, except for the prefects of each city who have some soldiers and horses in this Jingzhou, the rest are all in the hands of our brothers. As long as Xiangyang is taken, Our brothers raised their arms and shouted, Jingzhou is at your fingertips, but the fierce generals under Liu Bei, our brothers can't beat them, if we can, then it's Long Fei's turn!"

Cai Mao patted Zhang Yun: "What nonsense! Hey! If Liu Bei hadn't killed my whole family, I, Cai Mao, might not have turned against him. I have only one goal in this life, which is to kill Liu Bei to relieve my hatred. General Long can help me, and I, Cai Mao, would like to repay General Long like a cow or a horse."

Li Ru smiled slightly and said: "You two adults are wrong. Liu Bei harmed the country and the people, killed Liu Zhoumu, robbed Jingzhou, and kidnapped Lord Liu Cong. For these serious crimes, His Majesty has decreed that Zongzheng will go to Liu Bei's name. From today From the beginning, Liu Bei is no longer the grandson of the emperor, but the common thief of the world!"

"Okay! Your Majesty is holy!" Cai Mao repeatedly kowtowed to the north.

The two sides agreed to attack Xiangyang together.On the second day, Long Fei's army drove across the Xiangshui River, and the army gathered at the city of Xiangyang.Xiangyang, which was already besieged and impenetrable, undoubtedly made things worse.Looking at the big Liu character flag flying over the city of Xiangyang, the soldiers were all gearing up for a big fight.Dian Wei asked when to send troops, Long Fei smiled: "Being a fighter, attacking the heart is the first priority, the second is fighting, and the last is fighting. Now that you are ready, you are not afraid that Liu Bei will run away. First go and ask Liu Bei if he wants to surrender." We still have to fight!"

As Long Fei's envoy, Jiang Gan came to the city of Xiangyang.After shouting twice, no one in the city answered.Jiang Gan laughed loudly: "Liu Bei is also considered a hero in the world, Zhuge Liang is known as Crouching Dragon, and I can't see it today. I, a scholar who has no strength to restrain a chicken, dare not see him. How can I talk about the world's major events in my heart."

Liu Bei and others on the city tower were blushed by Jiang Gan's words.Ma Liang said: "Mr. Wolong, why don't you let Jiang Gan in and see what he says?"

"No!" Zhuge Liang said with a straight face.

Zhang Fei said angrily: "A dignified man is not afraid of fighting on the battlefield, but he is afraid of this Jiang Gan. How can I save my elder brother's face when it is spread?"

Mi Zhu said: "Jiang Qian has always been famous for his talent, and he is unique in Jianghuai with his debating. It's worth noting that he has a good tongue."

As soon as he entered Xiangyang, Liu Bei was helpless. The civil servants under him were obviously led by Zhuge Liang, and Ma Liang, Ma Di, Mi Zhu, and Sun Qian were all Zhuge Liang's leaders.What's more, Tai Shici, who he regards as a brother, also stood by Zhuge Liang's side.There are only Guan Yu and Zhang Fei who can be trusted and dominated by the dignified protagonist, and it is a joke to say it.In order to show his identity as the lord, Liu Bei coughed lightly: "There is nothing wrong with the man of Long Fei, third brother, let him come in in Kaesong!"

Right in the State Shepherd's Mansion, Liu Bei sat high, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei stood on both sides.Zhuge Liang sat under Liu Bei's hands, and a group of civil servants and generals gathered around.Jiang Gan walked like a tiger, bowing his hands and saluting to everyone with a smile on their faces.Zhang Fei said angrily: "General Bold, my eldest brother is the grandson of the emperor, and he will not kneel down when he sees the grandson of the emperor!"

Jiang Gan chuckled: "Emperor's grandson? It used to be, but it's not anymore. Your Majesty ordered Zongzheng to remove Liu Bei's name from the genealogy. Now Liu Bei is just a commoner. Master, based on this calculation, Liu Bei should kneel down and salute me when he sees me!"

"You!" Liu Bei raised his hand to make Zhang Fei quiet, and nodded, "Long Fei actually did this to drive me to a dead end! If so, why is Mr. Jiang here?"

"The general of Zhennan has the virtue of being good at life, and the two armies will be devastated. Xiangyang, which is in good shape, will inevitably have a massacre!" Jiang Gan talked about Liu Bei's defeat as if it had already happened: "At that time, you will be decapitated. Not to mention, but also to be accused of treason, future generations will never be able to hold their heads up, General Zhennan sent me here, if you are willing to surrender, my lord promises to intercede with His Majesty and spare a few of you."

Ma Liang snorted coldly: "Flirtatious nonsense, no one in the world knows that Long Fei is the biggest treacherous minister. He imprisoned His Majesty and sent out troops for the sake of the land of Jingzhou, but now he uses such high-sounding reasons, and he is not afraid of the people of the world. ridicule?"

"This is Mr. Ma Liang!" Jiang Gan cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Jiuwen is knowledgeable and talented. He knows all the major events in the world clearly. Mr. Cai Mao's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are too difficult for you to cope with the current situation. My lord also has an army of [-] to help in the battle, and his good generals are like a cloud. How long will Xiangyang's thousands of soldiers and horses last? Will there be good results when the city is broken? Listen to my advice, surrender immediately, and give up Xiangyang, lest It is not good for you to meet swordsmen."

Sun Qiandao: "Jingzhou was handed over to my lord by Liu Biao. The seal letter here can prove it. Cai Mao and Zhang Yun blamed us for their rebellion against General Long. This is a joke."

"Hahaha..." Jiang Gan laughed loudly: "I think when Liu Bei was in Xuzhou, there was Tao Qian's saying that Xuzhou was given over to Xuzhou. Don't you think it's deceitful to use it today?"

"Kung fu is not a skill, if you have the ability, come here, Mr. Zhang is waiting for you!" Zhang Fei was not used to the current posture, and Jiang Gan told Liu Bei's embarrassing things one after another.He couldn't stand it.

Jiang Gan nodded and gave Zhang Fei a thumbs up: "It's still Zhang Laosan who is bloody!" After finishing speaking, he took out a letter of war from his arms and handed it to Liu Bei: "This is my master's letter of war, three days later The two families will have a decisive battle under the city of Xiangyang. If you win, we will immediately withdraw our troops and take away Cai Hao and Zhang Yun's soldiers and horses. Dare to fight?"

Zhang Fei snatched the letter of war, and tore it into pieces: "Siege the city if you have the ability, Mr. Zhang is waiting for you, don't beat around the bush like this, Xiangyang is not so easy to attack."

Jiang Gan didn't say anything more, and walked out of the yamen with a big smile.As soon as Jiang Gan left, there was an uproar in the lobby, and everyone pointed their finger at Zhang Fei.Zhang Fei couldn't argue with a hundred words, and instantly felt his head was getting bigger.He yelled: "They're all a bunch of idiots. Tomorrow I'll go to the city alone to see how Long Fei attacks!"
