The Assassin Empire of the Three Kingdoms

After Liu Biao's death, Liu Qi knew that his stepmother, Mrs. Cai, was the mastermind behind the scenes, and the purpose was very clear, of course, to be the prefect of the state, so he didn't even attend Liu Biao's funeral.He was afraid that as long as he returned to Xiangyang, he would never come back again.It is actually very good to stay in Jiangxia, I am the eldest son of the former Jingzhou Mu, and the eldest brother of the current Jingzhou Mu.Although I am not a state shepherd, I can be regarded as the one and only master here in Jiangxia, which is much better than staying in Xiangyang.

When Jian Yong came, Liu Qi was very drunk and was playing with some newly-acquired concubines in the backyard.The family members reported that Jian Yong, Liu Bei's emissary, had arrived.Liu Qi was a little disappointed.Liu Bei looks honest, but actually has a lot of heart, so Liu Qi doesn't like him very much.Usually there is no contact, but today someone was sent suddenly, Liu Qi planned to disappear, but Jian Yong has already barged in.

"The eldest son is so excited!" Jian Yong didn't feel uncomfortable when he saw Liu Qi's concubines.

Liu Qi was furious: "Bold and lunatic, dare to trespass into the prefect's mansion, come here, drag him out and beat him thirty times!"

Two soldiers came to arrest Jian Yong.Jian Yong glared at them, and the soldiers backed away in fright. Jian Yong said: "Master Zhou Mu passed away, and the cause of death was strange. The eldest son did not seek revenge for his father, but was playing here. Master Zhou Mu met in the spirit of heaven, what are you doing?" Thoughts? It doesn’t matter if you hit me, since I came to Jingzhou, Master Zhou has treated me well, my lord must not sit idly by, and I, Jian Yong, must not betray my conscience!"

"Hey!" Liu Qi sighed, waved the soldiers and their families to go down, looked at Jian Yong: "Sir, you are a benevolent man!"

Jian Yong took two steps forward and sat down opposite Liu Qi: "There are rumors in Xiangyang that the death of the old state shepherd is inextricably linked to the Cai family. My lord, Liu Huangsun, has already found the evidence and is going to send troops to question him." , please help the Eldest Young Master, after the matter is completed, the Eldest Young Master will be the Lord of Jingzhou."

"Ah!" Liu Qi was shocked: "Jingzhou has not had a war for decades, you are doing this to rebel against my second brother."

"Young Master is wrong! This is not rebellion!" Jian Yong was heartbroken when he saw Liu Qi. If this was his son, he wished he could kill him with a sword.This Liu Biao is also considered a character, how could he give birth to two sons, each one more useless than the other.Jian Yong looked at Liu Qi: "The old state shepherd had already followed my lord's suggestion and wanted the young master Li to be his heir. However, the Cai family was so vicious that they poisoned the old state shepherd for the sake of the Cai family! The old state shepherd died. I am wronged, as the eldest son of the old state shepherd, don't you want to avenge your father?"

"Father! The child is unfilial, the child is incompetent, and cannot avenge you!" Liu Qi cried so loudly that he almost fainted on the ground.

Jian Yong comforted him for a long time: "Young master, don't be sad. When I arrived in Jiangxia, my lord Liu Huangsun had already taken Xiangyang. As long as the eldest son leads his troops to the north and defeats Cai Mao in the internal and external attack, he can regain everything he lost, and he can even replace him. The old state shepherd takes revenge."

"This..." Liu Qi was cowardly since he was a child, but at this moment, he couldn't make up his mind: "Cai Mao commands all the troops in Jingzhou, and all the troops in Jiangxia add up to only [-]. How can we fight?"

"Don't worry, eldest son, the Cai family is domineering and has offended many people in Jingzhou. Now Cai Mao only has [-] troops!" Jian Yong tried his best to put the situation in a better light: "Liu Huangsun has already had a few battles with him, Cai Mao is nothing to worry about. As long as the eldest son's soldiers and horses arrive at Cai Mao, they will definitely flee."

Jian Yong talked all kinds of things, and it took ten days of hard work to finally persuade Liu Qi to join the army.Jiang Xia's soldiers were originally Huang Zu's subordinates. After Huang Zu's death, Liu Biao asked his eldest son Liu Qi to serve as Jiang Xia's prefect.Who would have thought that Liu Qi would be more unscrupulous when he came to Jiangxia, no one restrained him, drinking and drinking constantly all day long, he was already skinny due to drinking and drinking at a young age, his face was black and purple.

With Liu Qi like this, naturally he cannot manage the army, nor can he govern the local area.The soldiers are exhausted and the people are suffering. Jiangxia has become a special case in Jingzhou. Compared with the richness of the surrounding area, Jiangxia can be regarded as a poor place.Liu Qi got up slowly when the sun was shining on his buttocks. The servants washed and dressed Liu Qi, and found the smallest set of armor for Liu Qi to put on. After walking two steps, Liu Qi said: "It's too heavy, and there is no way to wear it. I can't go, I don't wear it anymore!"

There were no pre-departure lectures, and no ceremony.Liu Qi said to leave, and the [-] army left Jiangxia City in a daze.There is Wancheng navy in the river, Liu Qi and the others can only go by land.As soon as he arrived in Nanjun, news came from Xiangyang that Long Fei had arrived in Xiangyang with an army of [-].Liu Qi sat down on the ground: "Long Fei is here! Long Fei is here! Xiangyang is over, Xiangyang is over!" Regardless of Jian Yong's lip-smacking, Liu Qi just said two words: don't go.

Xiangyang was besieged for fifteen days, everything that should be said has been said, and everything that should be done has been done.Liu Bei was held in the palm of Zhuge Liang's hand, and he had no intention of surrendering at all.Long Fei ordered to attack the city.The army spread out and surrounded Xiangyang on all sides, with Zhao Yun and Xu Huang in the east, Wenpin and Zhang Liao in the west, Gao Shun and Zhang Xiu in the north, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun in the south.Long Fei led the Chinese army and was ready to respond or intercept at any time.

With one order, the four directions attacked together.The momentum of the army is huge, and the sound of war drums makes people's ears hurt.The soldiers approached the city with a unified pace.Liu Bei had few soldiers, so the eight thousand troops were divided into four teams of two thousand each, and there were not many generals.The battle was an unequal game from the very beginning. On Longfei's side, Huang Zhong commanded the archers to fire all the arrows, and Liu Beijun couldn't hold his head up.Just felt that the bow and arrow had stopped, and as soon as he stretched his head, Long Jun had already arrived at the city.

Climbing the city ladder and battering ram greeted together.No matter how desperately the 2000 people resisted, their strength was weak, and the dragon army quickly broke through the city wall.Xu Huang was the first to rush to the top of the city, swinging a big ax away, no one in Liu Bei's army dared to approach.Zhang Fei yelled and raised his spear to fight.Zhang Fei held his own bravery, and a spear flew up and down, but Xu Huang swung the big ax away and could only resist it.Seeing that he had been forced to the edge of the city wall, Zhao Yun arrived, and with a wave of his spear, Zhang Fei was immediately overwhelmed.

Ximian Wenpin and Zhang Liao's double battle with Guan Yu was almost a draw.But the soldiers under him were not the opponents of Long Jun. The people who were killed turned on their backs. Seeing that they were about to die, Guan Yu didn't dare to fight, so he turned his head and ran away.Tai Shici was fighting with Gao Shun and Zhang Xiu. Gao Shun was a step-down general, and the siege was just right for him. With Zhang Xiu's cooperation, Tai Shici got Gao Shun's sword in his left arm and retreated.

The defeated soldiers will return to the yamen.Zhang Fei grabbed Liu Bei and said, "Brother, hurry up! If you don't leave, it will be too late!"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, protecting Liu Bei, rushed out from the south gate, and were about to crash into Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's army formation.The two tried their best to escort Liu Bei out of the siege with the determination to die.The enemy was extremely jealous when they met, Cai Mao saw it, and shouted loudly: "Don't let Liu Bei go, life or death will give you a reward of one thousand!"

Under the heavy reward, there are many brave men, and the soldiers have forgotten to attack the city regardless of life and death, and gathered towards Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei.All kinds of weapons greeted together.A fight was terrible.Guan Yu was hit by three arrows in the back, and while running, the feather arrows trembled; Zhang Fei was cut eight times all over his body, and his blood had already stained him red;

When Zhuge Liang saw it, he whispered something to Tai Shici.While Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were besieging Liu Guanzhang, a group of cavalry suddenly rushed out from the south gate and rushed straight into Cai Mao's formation. Cai Mao was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated.At this gap, more than 100 men in black guarding more than a dozen carriages rushed out of the city.This group of people shot fiercely and moved quickly, and the soldiers were completely unable to resist.

Zhang Yundao: "Brother, don't worry about those men in black, catch Liu Bei to avenge uncle!"

Cai Mao gritted his teeth and ordered the man in black to let go and attack Liu Bei.The pressure on Liu, Guan, and Zhang increased greatly. After fighting for a whole morning, the remaining three sides achieved fruitful results.Long Fei did not send troops to reinforce Cai Mao.Liu Bei is considered a hero anyway, if he died now, he would not be worthy to go to Yizhou to be his Shuhan emperor.According to Long Fei's estimate, Hei Bing would never let Liu Bei, who had chosen thousands of choices, die here just like that.

Just when Liu Guanzhang was about to lose his hold, Tai Shici led the cavalry in a charge, killed Cai Mao's army directly, and turned towards Liu Guanzhang.Zhang Fei shouted: "Big brother, second brother, Tai Shici is here, we are saved!"

Tai Shici's cavalry were extremely fierce, and Cai Mao's army horses were hard to resist.When they came close, several people got on their horses and three of them protected Liu Bei, fighting a bloody road and fleeing towards the south.Cai Mao hastily ordered people to shoot arrows. Tai Shici's cavalry suffered heavy losses, but they saved the lives of Liu Guanzhang and the others.Looking at the backs of several people going away, Cai Mao sighed: "Liu Bei, even if you run to the ends of the earth, I will catch you!"

To the south of Xiangyang is Jingshan, in a hidden village in Jingshan, Zhuge Liang and others are waiting at the intersection of the road.Tai Shici led Liu Guan Zhang and came here on horseback.As soon as he arrived at the place, Zhang Fei fell headfirst off his horse, and everyone rushed to rescue him.They also found someone to treat Guan Yu's wounds.When Liu Bei saw Zhuge Liang, the first sentence he said was a bit of a slap in the face: "Sir! You have made me suffer!"

Mi Zhu smiled slightly: "Don't worry, my lord, Mr. Zhuge has a clever plan, and he will never let my lord fall into Cai Mao's hands."

Liu Bei sighed, shook his head and smiled wryly.Jian Yong knelt and climbed forward: "My lord, it's all my fault. It's because I was incompetent and didn't persuade Liu Qi, which caused my lord's defeat. I'm in danger. Please punish me."

Ma Di said: "Even if Liu Qi came, he would lose the same. It would be more useful to keep the [-] soldiers and horses than to die."

"Oh? What do you mean?" Liu Bei hurriedly asked.

Zhuge Liang glanced at Ma Di, and Ma Di hurriedly shut up.Zhuge Liang said: "Xiangyang is lost. In my plan, I will go to Nanjun and join Liu Qi immediately for the current plan."

"What about in the future? Long Fei's [-] army is about to go south, and Liu Qi's troops alone may not be able to cope with it!" Liu Bei sighed softly: "I can't see Jingzhou anymore, it's better to leave as soon as possible!"
