Chapter 136
Xiangyang City.
Nearly 10,000 remnants of the army were defeated, followed Cai Mao and Kuaiyue, and fled back to Xiangyang City.
As soon as the two returned to the city, they announced that Liu Biao was caught up by Liu Bei's cavalry on the way to the north and unfortunately died in the chaos.
The sergeant of the city believed that it was true, and suddenly the whole city fell into panic.
Inside the main hall of the state capital.
The mourning hall has been set up, and the civil and military officials are all dressed in linen and filial piety.
Liu Qi and Liu Cong, the two sons, knelt down in front of Liu Biaoling, crying and crying, crying silently.
Cai Mao and Kuai Yue glanced at each other, and the two of them understood.
Cai Mao stepped forward to help Liu Cong up and comforted:
"People can't be resurrected after death, and I, the people of Jingzhou, still have to count on the second son, and ask the second son to mourn for thousands of years, don't cry and break your body. "
Liu Cong wiped his tears and staggered to his feet.
Liu Qi, who was kneeling on the side, was ignored, so he had to stand up slightly embarrassed.
Kuai Yue stood in front of the hall, facing the state officials, and coughed heavily.
The mourning hall immediately fell silent, and the "313" officials stopped crying.
Kuai Yue swept everyone and slowly spoke:
"A family cannot be left without an owner for a day, and a country cannot be without a king for a day. "
"Xianzhou Mu was killed, Liu Bei's army is approaching Xiangyang, and my Jingzhou is in danger of overturning!"
"The only way to do this is to immediately nominate a Xinzhou pastor, inherit the legacy of Jingsheng Xianzhou pastor, and lead us and other Xiangyang soldiers and civilians to fight to the death with that Liu Bei!"
"The second son is talented and intelligent, and he is the son of the Xianzhou pastor, so he should inherit the position of Jingzhou pastor. "
"I, Kuai Yue, am willing to serve the second prince as the new lord and lead my seven counties of Jingzhou!"
Kuai Yue said, turned around and bowed deeply to Liu Cong.
Cai Mao followed closely and bowed to Liu Cong: "Mao to meet the lord!"
The two pillars of literature and martial arts took the lead in paying homage, and civil officials and military officials such as Cai Mao and Zhang Yun visited the shrine with a bang.
Only a few people had objections to Cai Kuai's support for Liu Cong, not the eldest son Liu Qi, and stood in place and refused to meet Liu Cong.
Liu Cong was stunned in place, and was directly stunned.
Even he himself didn't expect that as the second son, he would be supported by everyone as the new lord of Jingzhou.
For a while, Liu Cong was a little overwhelmed.
And Liu Qi changed color in a daze, shocked and stunned, and looked at Cai Mao Yue anxiously.
After a little hesitation, Liu Qi stepped forward and said sharply:
"I am my father's son-in-law, my father was killed, I should inherit the position of Jingzhou pastor, how dare you abolish the elder and the young?"
Cai Mao and Kuai Yue changed color slightly, not wanting Liu Qi to dare to pierce the window paper and flip the table in public when it was a fait accompli.
Waste grows up and stands young, and Cai Mao doesn't know how to deal with it for a while.
"The country is peaceful, and it is natural to grow. "
"But now that my Jingzhou is in danger, how can I stick to the old rules of Lichang, and naturally give priority to Lixian. "
"Only a virtuous lord can command us to reverse the crisis and turn my Jingzhou into peace!"
"The second son is talented and intelligent, and his wisdom is far better than that of the eldest son, so we naturally want to support him as the lord of Jingzhou!"
Kuai Yue was so clever that he actually found a high-sounding reason and scolded Liu Qi's questioning.
Cai Mao also stepped forward to persuade: "Eldest prince, I hope you will focus on the overall situation and take the initiative to let the virtuous talents, don't let the foundation created by the lord be ruined in your hands." "
"Nonsense!"
Liu Qi pointed at Cai Mao and scolded: "What is Lixian, what is for your father's foundation, you are obviously because your second brother married your niece, so you want to abolish Chang Liyoung!"
Cai Mao frowned, but she didn't expect Liu Qi to even pierce the last layer of window paper in public.
Since he doesn't know the current affairs, he can only come hard.
Cai Mao glanced back at his third brother Cai He and gave him a sneak look.
Cai He understood, beckoned to the surrounding guards, and as soon as the soldiers swarmed up, they took down Liu Qi.
"What are you going to do?"
"I am my father's son-in-law, and I should be the pastor of Jingzhou!"
"Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, are you worthy of your father's trust in you-"
Cai Mao and Kuai Yue were indifferent.
The officials from the big clans in the mourning hall only shook their heads and regretted at most, but no one stood up to defend Liu Qi.
A moment later, Liu Qi's shouting stopped abruptly.
Cai He returned to the hall and whispered to Cai Mao: "I have poured poisoned wine on the eldest prince according to the original plan. "
Cai Mao breathed a sigh of relief and was relieved.
Then he swept over the officials and said sharply: "Who still has any objection to the second son's succession to the position of state pastor?"
No one was silent.
Even Liu Qi's few henchmen knew that Liu Qi had been poisoned, so they could only choose to remain silent in fear.
As a result, Liu Cong was forcibly promoted to a big position by Kuai Yue and Cai Mao in front of Liu Biaoling. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
"Newspaper—"
The soldier galloped in and shouted:
"Five miles south of the city, Liu Jun's figure appeared, and he was rushing towards Xiangyang City!"
There was a sudden uproar in the mourning hall.
Before Liu Congzhou's pastoral seat was hot, he learned that Liu Bei's army was coming, and he was immediately frightened.
"Don't drive, Uncle Deju, Liu Bei was killed so quickly, but what should I do?"
Liu Cong was busy asking the two.
"Don't panic, my lord has 30,000 soldiers and horses in Xiangyang, the city wall is high and thick, and the grain and grass are enough to support a year. "
"Even if Liu Bei has an army of one million, we don't have to be afraid. "
"The lord is in charge of the overall situation in the state pastor, and the matter of defending the city against the enemy is left to Deju. "
Kuai Yue was calm and calm, smiling and comforting0 ...
Liu Cong calmed down a little, and hurriedly bowed his hand to Cai Mao: "Uncle Deju, the safety of Xiangyang City, my net worth and life all depend on my uncle." "
"Don't worry, my lord, with me Cai Mao, Xiangyang is as safe as a rock!"
Cai Mao boasted of going to Haikou, immediately retreated, and went straight to the south gate of Xiangyang.
Outside the South Gate.
40,000 Liu Jun rode on foot, and came in a mighty way.
At noon, the army entered the south gate and lined up.
Under the big tent of the Chinese army.
Liu Bei was in high spirits and looked at Xiangyang City from afar.
And Liu Biao beside him was silent, looking sluggish.
"Da Da Da!"
Tai Shi Ci rushed over and arched his hand: "Lord Qiqi, I just got the news that Kuai Yue and Cai Mao have established Liu Cong as the pastor of Jingzhou!"
"Sure enough, they really grew up and grew young, and everything was predicted by the military advisor. "
Liu Bei sighed with emotion and looked back at Xiao Yuan.
Xiao Yuan looked at Liu Biao and sneered: "Liu Jingsheng, it seems that your two henchmen have already regarded you as a dead person." "
"Kuai Yue, Cai Mao, you two shameless dog thieves-"
Liu Biao gritted his teeth, his eyes were bloodshot, and his anger burned wildly.
Liu Bei whipped his horse: "Uncle Zhi, escort Liu Jingsheng to the city, and let him order the defenders to open the city and surrender." "
When Chen received the order, he led more than ten cavalry to protect Liu Biaohuan.
Liu Biao took a deep breath, rode out of the horse, and slowly walked towards the north gate.
On the top of the city.
Cai Mao has stood proudly with his sword in front of the city tower and presided over the overall situation.
In front of him, Liu Bei's army was arrayed and did not attack, but only a small group of men and horses came out of the formation, coming in the direction of the north gate, and Cai Mao's face couldn't help but be suspicious. 3.1
"Big-eared thief, could it be that you are self-righteous and want to persuade me to surrender?"
Cai Mao secretly guessed, so she didn't move first, wanting to see what was going on.
In the blink of an eye, the group of men and horses came to the front of the city.
One of the middle-aged men shouted loudly: "The soldiers in the city have seen clearly, I am your lord Liu Jingsheng!"
As soon as these words came out, the Jingzhou soldiers on the city wall were suddenly in an uproar.
Cai Mao's body was shocked, and her face changed suddenly.
He hurriedly looked closely, and sure enough, he recognized that the middle-aged man was really Liu Biao.
"Liu Jingsheng, he actually... Are you still alive?"
Cai Mao's face was instantly pale as paper, cold sweat brushed her forehead, and her eyes were filled with the words "thief's heart".
For a while, he was in a mess, and he didn't know what to do.
Liu Biao took a deep breath and said loudly:
"The old man has surrendered to Xuande Gong, I order you to wait, open the city gate immediately, and surrender with me!"
Cai Mao chuckled in her heart, and the whole person was stunned on the spot.
