In Liu Biao's study at the Prefecture Mufu, Yi Ji and Li Gui were standing in front of Liu Biao talking about matters in the courtyard. There was also a general from the Flying Tiger Guard beside him...
"What?" Liu Biao suddenly became angry. He looked at Yi Ji and shouted sharply, his eyes full of surprise. How could he believe that his eldest son was assassinated in his mansion?
"My lord, Uncle Ji is right. The eldest son was assassinated in the courtyard just now. At this time, the lord still needs to make a decision." Li Gui bowed and said.
"The matter reported to my lord is indeed true!" Seeing Liu Biao looking at him, General Feihuwei said hurriedly.
"Tell me the whole story." Liu Biao sat down and said in a deep voice.
"Nuo!" Yi Ji hurriedly explained the things in the courtyard in detail. Li Gui on the side said a few words from time to time. After a few words, he finished talking about the things in the courtyard. The two of them raised their heads and looked at Liu Biao and others.
Liu Biao's decision.
"Damn it! You deserve to be killed!" Liu Biao suddenly stood up and shouted.
In his house, at the banquet he prepared for Liu Qi, someone actually dared to assassinate Liu Qi. How could he not be angry? After listening to the whole process, he knew without even thinking that it was Cai Hao who wanted to kill Liu Qi. How could he do this?
There is only one bold person in Xiangyang named Cai Mao.
Liu Qi was his eldest son, and he had even decided to hand over Jingzhou to Liu Qi. At this time, someone assassinated Liu Qi, which had touched his bottom line.
"Send the order! General Zhengnan is ordered to handle this matter with full authority. Wang Wei, the commander of the Flying Tiger Army, will assist. Anyone who stops him can be killed. The murderer will be handed over to General Zhengnan. No one can have any objections!" Liu Biao thought clearly!
The key point was given immediately.
"No!" Yi Ji, Li Gui was stunned and hurriedly bowed in response.
"Go and tell Qi'er that anyone who dares to stop this will be killed without mercy!" Liu Biao waved his hand for the two of them to retreat.
He did this not to fall out with the Cai family. Once he fell out with the Cai family, both sides would suffer. He couldn't bear the consequences. On the one hand, he did this to test Liu Qi, and on the other hand, he established prestige for Liu Qi, with Wang Wei at his side.
Assisting Liu Qi can't do anything excessive.
"Mr. Cai!" Liu Biao gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with serious coldness.
"Come here!" Liu Qi shouted towards the door.
"See you, general!" One of the flying tiger guards came in and said respectfully.
"Call Wang Wei! The Prefectural Mufu Mansion has been handed over to the Flying Tiger Army for defense. No one is allowed to go out until this matter is over. Remember, no one!" Liu Biao said solemnly, thinking of Liu Cong and Mrs. Cai. The arrogance of the Cai family made Liu Biao hate Liu.
Cong and Mrs. Cai were also a little disgusted. The murderer might have been hidden in the Prefectural Shepherd's Mansion.
"No!" The Flying Tiger Guardsman hurriedly bowed and turned to leave.
"Your Majesty, Madam Cai would like to see you!" As soon as the Feihu Guards left, another soldier came in and said.
"Huh! Just say I don't have time to see her!" Liu Biao snorted coldly.
……………………………………………………
"Who said there were no military orders!" A cold shout came from outside the courtyard gate.
"Huh?" Cai Hao turned his head and looked outside the door. He already knew who the person was.
Not only Cai Mao heard it, but also more than a dozen officials behind Cai Mao heard it, and they all turned their heads and looked outside the door.
"Tap!" "Tap!" "Tap!"
Footsteps sounded, and Wang Wei walked in dressed in military uniform. With a long sword on his waist, Flying Tiger Army armor, and a helmet on his head, Wang Wei walked into the courtyard proudly. As Wang Wei arrived, the courtyard suddenly became quiet.
, everyone in the courtyard heard Wang Wei's cold shout.
When he walked into the courtyard, Wang Wei glanced at everyone in the courtyard and shouted in a deep voice: "No one is allowed to leave this courtyard until the matter is found out. Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed!"
"promise!"
Immediately after the sound of rumbling footsteps, a member of the Flying Tiger Army rushed in and surrounded the courtyard. The murderous aura spread throughout the courtyard. The officials who originally encouraged Cai Mao to leave were now as silent as cicadas, with their heads lowered.
He followed Cai Mao without daring to say a word.
Although Wang Wei has rarely appeared in recent years, his prestige is still there. No one dares to come forward to offend the leader of the Flying Tiger Army. If Wang Wei is angered, there will be no excuse for being killed by him.
"Huh! General Wang is so powerful!" Seeing Wang Wei not giving him face, Cai Mao couldn't help but snorted coldly.
"I've seen the military advisor!" Wang Wei raised his hands as if he had just seen Cai Mao at this moment. Although the Flying Tiger Army was under the direct command of Liu Biao, Cai Hao's official position was indeed higher than his.
"Without the lord's order, General Wang ordered the officials in the courtyard to be placed under house arrest without fear of lord's censure!" Cai Hao looked at Wang Wei and said solemnly. If Wang Wei hadn't arrived just now, he would have left the Prefecture Mufu.
"Haha, Army Master Lao is worried. The general will naturally explain this matter to his lord." Wang Wei smiled and said, although there was no order from Liu Biao, it didn't matter. Liu Qi was assassinated in the Prefecture Mufu. Liu Biao said this
Shi should have known that even if Wang Wei didn't come, Liu Biao would probably send someone to invite him. In this case, he came in advance to see if he could be of any help. He had already turned to Liu Qi in his heart, and it was natural to see Cai Mao and others leaving.
Come and stop it.
"How dare you mobilize troops privately? This is a capital offense!" An official came out from behind Cai Mao and said with a stern tone.
"Huh?" Wang Wei looked at the official, his eyes like lightning.
"Ah!" When Wang Wei saw it, the official immediately retreated behind Cai Mao.
"Huh!" Cai Hao snorted coldly and stepped forward: "I want to go back to my house, please ask General Wang to get out of the way."
"The general just said that no one is allowed to leave, not even the military advisor." Wang Wei said calmly, his figure as soft as a pine tree.
"What if I insist on leaving?" Cai Mao said coldly.
"Then I'll forgive you for offending me!" Wang Wei said with his usual expression.
"Haha, Wang Wei, I don't care about you for the sake of my lord, but you insist on making things difficult for me for no good reason. Today, in front of all the officials in Xiangyang, I want to see how you kill me.
!" Cai Hao laughed angrily, then snorted coldly and stepped forward to walk out of the courtyard.
Seeing Cai Mao like this, Wang Wei's heart tightened. He really didn't dare to kill Cai Mao on the spot. How could the Cai family's actions be concealed from him? There were frequent troop movements around Xiangyang these days, at least tens of thousands of troops.
Just now, thousands of soldiers and horses were stationed in the west of Xiangyang, and there was a faint sign of demonstration. Now seeing Cai Mao being so tough, Wang Wei was sure that the mastermind behind the assassination of Liu Qi was Cai Mao.
If Cai Mao is killed at this time, Xiangyang may immediately fall into chaos. The Feihu Army alone is not enough to suppress the nearly 100,000 troops controlled by Cai. Moreover, the Feilong Army is at war with Jiangdong. Once civil strife breaks out in Xiangyang, Jingzhou may
It will fall apart immediately. At that time, with Zhang Xiu in the north, Sun Ce in the east, and Wuxi barbarians in the south, the entire Jingzhou will probably be caught in the flames of war, and no one can save it.
Moreover, Cai Mao was inferior to one person in Jingzhou and more than ten thousand people, and his prestige was far higher than that of Wang Wei. If he was killed here without any reason, I am afraid not many people in Jingzhou would be convinced.
"This..." Seeing the tense situation in the courtyard, let alone Xiangyang officials, even Sima Hui, Song Zhongzi and others did not expect it.
According to their thinking, since Wang Wei arrived, they should report the matter to Liu Biao and let Liu Biao handle it. However, Wang Wei directly ordered the courtyard to be sealed off, and even brought nearly a thousand flying tiger troops here. The other officials in Xiangyang who were under house arrest were justified.
After all, there were many officials whom everyone was not familiar with, but Cai Mao, Yi Ji and others were seen by everyone all day long, and no one dared to pretend that there was nothing wrong after they were released. Unexpectedly, Wang Wei and even Cai Mao were put under house arrest.
Wang Wei put Cai Mao under house arrest regardless of his identity. However, Cai Mao was even more tit for tat. He was about to leave the house, which made several people confused. Cai Mao had a special status in Xiangyang. As long as Liu Biao was informed, Liu Biao would naturally let him go.
, but he insisted on leaving despite Wang Wei's obstruction.
"There may be something we don't know about." Song Zhongzi said with a bitter smile. Although he was very dissatisfied with Cai Mao for assassinating Liu Qi, now is not the time to fall out with the Cai family.
"Maybe." Sima Hui and the others nodded.
"I'm afraid Xiangyang will be even more lively after today." Huang Chengyan on the side said with some gloating.
"You, you." Pang Degong pointed at Huang Chengyan and said helplessly. Since Huang Chengyan did this, he must stay and watch the fun.
"Look!" Song Zhongzi suddenly pointed to the courtyard gate and said.
Everyone looked at the door and saw Cai Mao stepping forward and already in front of Wang Wei.
"General Wang, only by following the trend can we survive for a long time. The officials who have placed Xiangyang City under house arrest this time have committed public outrage. I'm afraid no one can protect you." Cai Mao said as he walked, and he was about to reach Wang Wei.
"Don't worry, military advisor." After saying this, Wang Wei stepped aside.
Cai Mao and others thought that Wang Wei was retreating and wanted to leave, so they heard Wang Wei calmly say: "Anyone who goes out will be killed!"
"You!" Cai Mao pointed at Wang Wei and said.
"Of course, military advisor, if you can't deal with the general yet, let's take it first and wait for the lord to deal with it!" After saying that, he ignored everyone and left.
"Wang Wei, if you really want to go against my Cai family, do you still remember Lu Gong!" Cai Mao suddenly shouted.
Hearing Duke Lu's majesty, his footsteps stopped and he turned around.
Lu Gong, his lieutenant general, was sent by Cai Mao to fight against Sun Jian because he offended Cai Mao. Although Lu Gong led Sun Jian to shoot him to death with random arrows in the dense forest, he himself was also killed by Sun Jian's subordinates.
Hearing Lu Gong, Wang Wei already had a cold expression on his face. The veins in the hand holding the sword hilt were beating, and his index finger was slightly rubbing the sword hilt. This was a precursor to Wang Wei's anger.
"Gong Lu bucked the trend and eventually died. Are you going to be the next Gong Lu?" Cai Hao said calmly, seemingly not noticing Wang Wei's anger.
Wang Wei turned around and walked slowly towards Cai Hao, his face extremely gloomy.
Cai Mao did not flinch at all because of this and continued: "The cause of General Wang today may be the result of tomorrow."
At this moment, rapid footsteps sounded, and Yi Ji and Li Gui ran over panting.
"My lord has an order!" Yiji shouted loudly as soon as he stepped into the courtyard.
"Huh?" After hearing Yi Ji's words, everyone looked at Yi Ji.
"My lord has an order! This matter will be handled by General Zhengnan. Wang Wei, the commander of the Flying Tiger Army, will be assisting. Anyone who stands in the way will be killed! The murderer will be dealt with by General Zhengnan!" Yiji Shen took a deep breath.
