Chapter 780 The name of the big-eared thief spreads all over the world
Big-eared thief...
Upon hearing these three words, Liu Bei immediately felt a surge of anger in his heart.
Forget about big ears!
After all, Liu Bei was self-aware and admitted that his ears were bigger than the average person.
But where does the word thief come from?
Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, have you ever done anything to disgrace the imperial court?
All this is because of Liu Zhang!
If Liu Zhang hadn't ridiculed himself as a big-eared thief in front of all the heroes in the world, how could this shameful title spread to Jingzhou?
It's a pity that Liu Bei can only endure it. The current situation has left him without the courage to rebuke Jingzhou General Cai Mao.
"General Cai Mao, Liu Bei has admired the name of General Cai for a long time, and he is lucky enough to meet him today!"
Sure enough, he is no ordinary person!
Cai Mao was secretly surprised.
Faced with such humiliation, Liu Bei could still remain calm.
However, Cai Mao would not change his attitude towards Liu Bei just because of his compromise.
For some reason, Cai Mao hated Liu Bei from the bottom of his heart.
"Big-eared thief, don't be pretentious here! If you are wise, get out of here and don't come in the eyes of this general!"
Liu Bei's back molars clenched loudly. The feeling of sticking his face in and being beaten was really uncomfortable.
"Has General Cai misunderstood? Liu Bei is the Yuzhou Shepherd personally appointed by His Majesty, and he is a Han clan member confirmed by the imperial court. How did he become a thief?"
"Hahaha...!"
Cai Mao couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Liu Bei didn't mention Big Er at all, but just explained that he was a traitor. Isn't this a disguised admission?
"Listen, big-eared thief! The imperial court has issued an order to remove you from your position as Yuzhou Shepherd!"
"As for your identity as a clan member of the Han Dynasty, it was also confirmed by the court to be false!"
Liu Bei panicked for a while and suddenly became depressed.
Liu Bei already knew about Cao Cao's deprivation of all his identity when he fought against Cao Ren.
After all, Cao Cao had the final say inside and outside the court, and Liu Bei could only be at the mercy of others.
But Liu Bei didn't expect that the news would reach Jingzhou so quickly!
"General Cai, don't listen to the villain!"
"Liu Bei is the descendant of Prince Jing of Zhongshan and the great-great-grandson of Emperor Xiaojing! This is an undisputed fact!"
Liu Bei still refuses to give up. Jingzhou is his only way out now and he must not give up easily.
"Hahaha...!"
Cai Hao laughed up to the sky again, and then showed contempt.
"Well, you big-eared thief who weaves mats and sells shoes has actually deceived me!"
"I heard that General Wei knew you were not a good person the first time he met you, but I didn't expect that to be the case!"
"You are very good at deception and abduction!"
"But your good luck ends here. In front of this general, even if you are eloquent, it will be of no use!"
When Liu Bei heard the word "General Wei", it became extremely difficult to breathe.
There is Liu Zhang everywhere!
Since the rise of Liu Zhang, Liu Bei feels that the whole world is targeting him!
"General Cai, the Han Dynasty is unfortunate. Now the court is controlled by national traitors! You are a loyal member of the Han Dynasty, but you must keep your eyes open and distinguish right from wrong!"
"Liu Bei is loyal to the imperial court and to His Majesty. Heaven and earth can draw lessons from it, and the sun and moon can reflect it!"
"Now that the army is defeated, we have come here to join Liu Jingzhou and work with him to help the Han Dynasty!"
Liu Bei's words were sincere, his attitude was sincere, and he showed his loyalty all the time.
It's a pity that in Cai Mao's eyes, all this is a complete joke.
Because Cai Mao didn't want to help the Han Dynasty at all, he just wanted to benefit the Cai family.
"Okay, big-eared thief, you better save it!"
"Do you think I am that old fool Tao Qian who asked you to cheat Xuzhou away with just a few words?"
Liu Bei's eyes narrowed slightly, he didn't expect Cai Mao to be so unsophisticated!
"General Cai, can Liu Bei meet with Liu Jingzhou?"
It was impossible to convince Cai Mao with his righteousness to help the Han Dynasty. Liu Bei could only place his hope on Liu Biao!
As long as he can get Liu Biao's support, he will naturally not be afraid of Cai Mao's difficulties.
It's a pity that all Liu Bei's intentions have already been understood by Cai Mao.
"Hahaha! What a big joke!"
"How can you, a big-eared thief who weaves mats and sells shoes, be worthy of meeting our Jingzhou shepherd?"
The murderous intent in Cai Mao's eyes was undisguised. In fact, he didn't want to waste words with Liu Bei at all.
"Get out! If you don't get out, I will kill you all!"
Cai Mao had known Cao Cao since he was a child, and he wanted to capture Liu Bei and send him to Xuchang immediately to receive Cao Cao's reward.
If it weren't for Liu Biao's strong request that Cai Mao not harm Liu Bei's life, Liu Bei would have become his prisoner at this moment!
"General Cai, please calm down for now and please listen to Liu Bei again!"
Liu Bei didn't want to give up, so he quickly prayed to Cai Mao again.
At the same time, his mind was running rapidly, constantly thinking of ways to save the crisis.
Cai Hao didn't want to waste words with Liu Bei, but when he saw the miserable appearance of Liu Bei, he unexpectedly gave him a chance.
"If you fart quickly, let it go!"
Liu Bei was overjoyed when he saw this. He had already thought of a way to persuade Cai Mao.
"Does General Cai still remember the humiliation he suffered in Yizhou many years ago?"
"What did you say!"
As the saying goes, hit someone without slapping someone in the face, and expose someone without exposing their shortcomings!
Liu Bei's opening opened the scar in Cai Mao's heart, which immediately made Cai Mao furious.
"Big-eared thief, I think you are tired of living!"
"You yourself have been defeated in many battles, but you still have the nerve to talk about me!"
I thought Liu Bei would cry and beg him to save him, but Cai Mao felt proud in his heart.
Unexpectedly, Cai Mao's generosity would be met with ridicule from this damn big-eared thief!
"Come here, shoot the big-eared thief to death!"
Cai Mao waved his big hand, and immediately countless soldiers leaned out of the city wall, bows and arrows in shooting postures.
"Wait a minute! General Cai, wait a minute! Liu Bei didn't mean that!"
Liu Bei's eyes widened, and he was suddenly at a loss what to do!
At such a close distance, everyone under the city will be shot into a sieve!
"General Cai misunderstood! Liu Bei is for General Cai's future!"
Just as all the archers were taking aim and preparing to fire thousands of arrows to kill Liu Bei, Cai Mao's voice came again.
"Wait a minute!"
The soldiers were caught off guard and quickly grabbed the arrow that was about to let go.
If Cai Mao's order was delayed even a moment, the arrow would definitely come out of the string!
"Big-eared thief, I will give you one last chance!"
"If you dare to mock me openly or covertly again, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
Liu Bei nodded repeatedly and quickly agreed, fearing that the arrows from the city would shoot into his body.
"General Cai, do you know that you are about to be in disaster?"
Cai Mao frowned and became worried because of Liu Bei's words.
At present, the counties in northern Jingzhou seem to be calm, but in fact they are in extreme danger.
The Prefectural Mufu was completely controlled by the Cai and Kuai families, and Liu Jingsheng's position as Prefectural Mufu existed in name only.
The four counties in Jingnan were tightly controlled by Liu Qi. Ever since the counselor named Shan Fu defected to them, they had become a serious problem for Cai Hao.
Several military campaigns were sent out over the years, but they all ended in disastrous defeat.
Liu Qi raised a banner in Jingnan and announced the crimes of Cai Mao, Kuai Liang and others. No one in Jingzhou knew about it!
If it weren't for Liu Qi from Jingnan, Liu Biao would have died of illness long ago!
