Chapter 1251
Liu Biao looked full of energy today, but Liu Bei was also a martial artist, so he gradually realized that Liu Biao's gait was a bit vain, and the rosy glow on his face was also the effect of applying a small amount of rouge.The reason for bringing Mrs. Cai to the banquet is probably because Mrs. Cai has some kind of medicine on her body... From this point of view, Liu Biao's body, not only did not get better day by day because of the poison, but because of his serious illness, he was already at the point of exhaustion. the point.

Moreover, Liu Bei also found that Zhuge Liang's eyes were not only staring at Liu Biao's complexion, but also specifically looking at Liu Biao's hand.

Liu Bei also saw that after Liu Biaoqi's grand appearance, he was holding a sword in his right hand!

A gorgeous and simple saber with green gemstones inlaid on the scabbard, held by Liu Biao in his hand, came slowly...

This detail was quickly discovered by many people.As a result, the atmosphere in the lobby, which had already become tense and dignified, suddenly felt a little frightened again.

Liu Biao didn't look sideways, and boldly walked across the Persian red carpet to his front seat.

Then, holding the hilt of the sword with both hands, he leaned on the sword and sat down slowly.

All civil and military audiences just woke up like a dream, and they all saluted Liu Biao, congratulating Liu Biao on his recovery and Jingzhou Antai.On the other hand, Liu Biao showed no expression on his face, and raised his hand, which was regarded as a return of courtesy - this was an extremely abnormal gesture for Liu Biao, who has always been modest and polite.

The rites and music stopped at this moment, and the audience was silent, quietly waiting for Liu Bei's words.

And this clan member of the Han Dynasty, who has been up and down in Jingzhou Zhenghai for more than ten years, scanned the audience with sharp eyes, and then, he twitched the corner of his mouth and smiled softly.

Although he was smiling, it was just a smile, but it would never make people happy!
There seemed to be a hint of mockery in the cold smile!

"Everyone knows that tonight is not only the beauty of the Mid-Autumn Festival, but also the day when I announce the successors of Jingzhou. You are here, but you are actually restless, right?"

Strictly speaking, what Liu Biao said was a crime.The appointment of Jingzhou Mu, only the emperor of the Han Dynasty can determine the universe with one word.What's interesting is that everyone looked at the illegal carved beams and painted buildings and the magnificent hall everywhere in the lobby, but they all kept silent, acquiescing to the fact that Liu Biao did not respect the Han Dynasty.

After all, Liu Biao's sudden utterance just now made everyone's hearts beat rapidly!

Liu Jingzhou...is it going to be a showdown now?

But then Liu Biao turned his eyes and said with a smile: "I am the same as you! I have been thinking about this matter, but I have been thinking about it for a long time!" Speaking of this, Liu Biao suddenly stood up with his long sword!
Many people gasped on the spot!
There were also some counselors whose faces were already pale, and even some generals who fought in the battlefield couldn't help but start to break out in a cold sweat in the face of Liu Biao's decidedly mysterious murderous intent at this moment.Some people couldn't help but look towards the side doors on both sides of the lobby, as if they were afraid that a group of armored soldiers with knives and axes would rush in from this side door in the next moment!

However, after Liu Biao's teasing smile had had enough, he slowly asked, "Where is Brother Xuande?"

Liu Bei was among the crowd, and he was taken aback when he heard Liu Biao calling him first.But he quickly returned to his normal look, even a little dignified, and slowly stood on the red carpet in the middle.

"Emissary, prepare here."

"En!" Liu Biao nodded: "Xuande brother, has the matter I asked you been done?"

Liu Bei clasped his fists slightly, and said generously: "At this moment, Chen Daodang and General Cai's general Huo Jun are switching defenses, and within a stick of incense time, they can completely take over Xiangyang city defense!"

After Liu Bei's words fell, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief. Some officials who were originally far away from Liu Bei also quietly began to move closer to Liu Bei. I mistakenly thought that Liu Bei was going to join forces to seize power, but now that Liu Biao and Liu Bei have personally confirmed it, I feel that it is completely out of control.

Although Chen Dao led the way into the city, he exchanged the city defense with the Xiangyang Guard—it was not at all to seize the city defense by force, and the Xiangyang Guard was willing to switch defenses and hand over the control of the city defense, so there must be an order from above.

The Xiangyang Guard has always been an elite corps defending Xiangyang. Although it only has a size of 5000 people, it is absolutely reliable in terms of equipment and loyalty.Although Huo Jun is young, his reputation as an isolated city and unshakable integrity has long been known in Xiangyang.To make Xiangyang Guards under his command obediently give up the city defense, Chen Dao under Liu Bei's command alone would not be able to hold a soldier talisman. Liu Biao's advance order would be necessary!

However, it is a pity that although Huo Jun is known as a capable general in Xiangyang, he is under the control of Cai Mao after all. Even if he is not clearly identified as Cai Mao's henchman, he has many disputes with Cai Mao.But at this moment, it seems that Liu Biao does not have complete trust in Huo Jun, which is why Liu Bei's five thousand cavalry elite took over Xiangyang's city defense.

Everyone figured this out for a while, but after a second reaction, their faces became very ugly.

"Didn't Liu Bei seize the power?" Pang Ji looked at the people in the hall with gloomy eyes, lowered his voice and said to the side: "Could it be...the lord wants...to do something?"

Do it? ...

The hearts of some old officials who followed Liu Biao suddenly rose, and they remembered at the same time: when Liu Biao rode into Jingzhou, it was almost exactly the same as today.On that day, he was holding the imperial decree in one hand and the sword in the other. When all the sect thieves were laughing at Liu Biao for his lack of courage, a large group of swordsmen rushed into the hall and killed the leaders of the sect thieves in an instant...

Tonight, Liu Biao dared to rebelliously announce the successor of Jingzhou, which would definitely clear the way for the successors.And the most effective way, of course, is...

This banquet is indeed more dangerous than expected! !

After Liu Biao and Liu Bei finished speaking, there was no more conversation.Everyone in the lobby was suffering in silence, only the people who were closest to the power center: Cai Mao and the Kuai family brothers!

Cai Mao remained expressionless, while Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue were also very calm.Especially Kuai Yue, at this embarrassing moment, stepped forward to remind Liu Biao: "My lord, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, even if there is business, it's better to announce it later."

Liu didn't show any expression on the surface, and waved his hand lightly: "Everyone, take your seats."

Everyone sat down in a cloud of mist, but they didn't have the slightest intention of celebrating the festival.Pang Ji sat down on Kuai Yue's seat on purpose, and while no one was paying attention, he asked Kuai Yue, "Master Yidu, what will happen tonight?"

"Huh?" Kuai Yue turned his head and asked with a hint of doubt, "What did Master Pang say?"

"Of course it's about switching defenses tonight!" Pang Ji was a little anxious.

Kuai Yue closed his eyes and thought for a while, then replied in a very tactful tone: "Boss Pang, although I have a little knowledge of Jingzhou's military situation, the less I know about some things, the better. As for the sudden change of defense in Xiangyang Guards ..." Speaking of this, Kuai Yue completely looked like an outsider, and calmly analyzed: "Although the Xiangyang Guard sits in the center, he can be regarded as the lord's confidant, but if he stays in the big dye tank for a long time, it is inevitable that he will be stained with the traces of the above aspects and be killed. Infiltration is inevitable. And tonight..."

"My lord has made it clear tonight that Jingzhou will change hands. Liu Bei and my lord are both clan members of the Han family, and they will take over the city defense tonight..."

"Hmm... If the lord doesn't make an announcement, we can't talk nonsense." Kuai Yue interrupted Pang Ji's conjecture, and continued to bring the issue back to a discussion area: "Since the lord is going to do such a big thing tonight, he will naturally be worried. There are people in the lobby who are dissatisfied, especially if that person wants to keep in touch with Xiangyang Wei, and if he makes a mistake, won't it lead to a civil strife? Therefore, maybe the lord will simply transfer Xiangyang Wei out of the city and send Liu Bei, the outsider's personal soldier, was transferred in to maintain the city defense..."

"In this way, my lord is to prevent someone from making trouble?" Pang Ji thought for a while, then frowned and said, "There is some truth in saying this, but General Huo Jun is famous in Xiangyang, and he is a rising star in Jingzhou after General Huang... ..."

"Although Huo Jun is loyal, he is a member of the Huo family after all, and the Huo family is not a small family in Jingzhou..." Kuai Yue sighed slightly, as if he felt a headache for Liu Biao: "Tonight is such a secret and important thing. In other words, the lord must be replaced by someone he trusts the most and who has no inclinations, or in other words, that person is inclined to be consistent with the lord, so that he can feel at ease."

Having said so much, Pang Ji couldn't ask any further questions, and at this moment the hall was full of singing and dancing.Pang Ji looked at the graceful figure of the dancers and the music of silk, bamboo and elegant music, but he was not in the slightest mood.At this moment, all he could see in his eyes was the wine in the glass, which was as red as blood, as if foretelling that there would definitely be a bloody disaster this night...
