Liu Qi led fifty elite infantrymen, armed with shackles, ropes and other instruments of torture used to capture prisoners, and went straight to Zhongwenjiazhuang in the city with murderous intent.
…
"Report——" A spy, a spy, rushed towards Cai Mansion's meeting hall.
Cai Hao, the general who sent people to secretly monitor Liu Qi's house 24 hours a day, found that the road in front of Liu Qi's house was blocked this morning, and even the funeral procession was stopped. He felt that it was abnormal. He summoned three of his capable men early.
Pang Ji, Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng were paying close attention to the developments of the young master Liu Qi in the meeting hall of General Zhonglang's mansion. When they saw the report coming from Tanma, they asked urgently: "What's going on?"
The man knelt down on one knee and reported: "General, the coffin is still blocking the way in front of Young Master Liu Qi's house. Only two guards are left to guard the coffin. The killing scene has been cleaned up. The dead villagers put more than 20 sacks in the funeral and laid them out side by side.
In front of the coffin. Not long after, two hundred soldiers suddenly appeared in front of the mansion. They had all the chariots, horses, and baggage. That's all."
"Explore again."
"Yes." Tanma responded and left.
The news that the minions discovered shocked Cai Mao. Cai Mao looked at his generals in confusion and said, "Two hundred soldiers suddenly gathered in Liu Qi's house and they were equipped with baggage. This is strange. But are they going to fight? Who will do it?"
The order to mobilize troops?"
"Other than the lord, who dares to mobilize troops privately without the general's order? Arms are under the control of the general. Even if the lord mobilizes troops, he must obtain the general's consent. I'm afraid it is the personal soldiers mobilized by the lord to protect the eldest son Liu Qi." Pang Ji thought for a while.
replied.
"Old man Liu Biao really thinks highly of his sick son Liu Qi. He protected Liu Qi when he stabbed a maid to death and burned her body to wipe out traces. Liu Qi also protected him when he stopped people from going to funerals, killed people, and bought goods. Liu Biao is becoming more and more protective of his shortcomings. Liu Qi's life is in jeopardy.
I feel more and more distressed when I fall to my death." When Cai Mao heard that Liu Biao insisted on protecting Liu Qi, he became angry and scolded Liu Biao in his heart for being an old man. However, he pretended to be calm in front of his subordinates and nodded: "
It is human nature for a father to cover up his son’s faults.”
"Report——" Another gangster hurriedly ran into Cai Mansion's meeting room.
"What's the matter?"
"Eldest Young Master Liu Qi, oh, don't come here. Liu Qi has brought a few guards from the palace and is leading fifty armored infantry to kill Wenjiazhuang." The minion panted.
"What? What don't you do? Say it again?" Cai Hao was shocked again. This news was becoming more and more confusing.
"Yes, I saw with my own eyes that as soon as the housekeeper brought over a dozen guards from the young master's residence, they all bowed to the young master in unison and shouted, "See you, my lord." You are telling the truth, and you are not lying at all.
"It must be that the lord gave the eldest son a title and asked him to bring his own soldiers to deal with the bloodshed in front of the house." Pang Ji speculated.
"Absurd, extremely absurd! How could Liu Qi participate in military affairs at a young age? He accepts everyone as his own, makes his own decisions, and does not consult with his subordinates. My lord must be old and confused." Cai Hao was so angry that he wanted to scold Liu Biao and his son.
The last few words were unpleasant, but because I had to pay attention to my image in the meeting room, I couldn't bear to curse them out loud. I couldn't help but curse them with the words "old fool".
"General, don't be upset. There is a reason for what the lord does. The soldiers are mobilized, the titles are false, and the mobs are killed. In emergencies and emergency response, the lord can make his own decisions without consulting. They are all within the scope of authority and responsibility. It can be said that there is no leakage.
"The eldest son Liu Qi was greatly advantaged by appointing officials and leading troops." What Pang Ji said made sense, and Cai Hao stared blankly.
"Liu Qi is leading an army with many wings and will surely become a disaster. What should we do?" Cai Mao couldn't see that Liu Biao and his son were of the same mind the most. He felt anxious and murderous again, and said fiercely: "Liu Qi is treasonous and unethical. He is blocking the way."
Burying the dead, killing innocent civilians, and raising private soldiers to cause chaos, it is better to take this opportunity to raise troops to encircle and suppress Liu Qi first and then kill him."
"Good idea. General, please send troops. I will be the vanguard and kill them first." Zhang Hu geared up, remembering that he was so frightened that he peed his pants when his guard put a sword on his neck in the mansion of the young master Liu Qi, and how he was coerced by his guards to accompany Hua Tuo all the way.
The two incidents of going to Majiazhuang outside the city to treat the maid's mother for typhoid fever made Zhang Hu feel angry again after being humiliated.
"Lord, let me be the vanguard. Liu Qi's guards in the mass graves killed several of my brothers. I am eager to take revenge." Chen Sheng, who was both a bandit and Zhang Hu, had the same temperament and was humiliated by Liu Qi.
I vowed to find the right opportunity to save this face. Isn't it just face that people live in this world? People need face, and trees need bark. Chen Sheng understands this truth.
"Okay, I order you two to be the vanguard on the left and right, each leading five hundred troops to quickly surround Liu Qi's house. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy." Cai Mao ordered without thinking.
"Yes." Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng promised, and were about to go out, but were stopped by Pang Ji: "Two heroes, wait a minute, I have something to say."
"The general has given the order, what else can you say? Just say it, leave it alone, mother-in-law and mother-in-law." Zhang Hu was impatient, shouted in a rough voice, and reluctantly.
"General, it is inappropriate to send troops at this time, not to mention Liu Qi already has 200 soldiers with swords and spears. If he is pushed too hard, he may jump over the wall in a hurry, and he doesn't know what will happen." Pang Ji stopped Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng and expressed his worries.
"It's not appropriate to send troops, why should we watch that sick young man show off and be arrogant?" Cai Hao was worried. If Liu Qi gained power, his sister Cai's biological son, Cai Hao's blood nephew Liu Cong, would probably have no hope of inheriting the throne of Jingzhou for the rest of his life.
"Hehe, no." Pang Ji waved his hand, with a strange look on his face.
Seeing this, Cai Mao knew that Pang Ji had a plan and asked, "Does Mr. Pang have any clever plan?"
Pang Jidao: "I have a plan, I wonder if the general is willing to listen to it?"
"Tell me and listen." It's good to have a plan. If there are too many tricks, the sick young master Liu Qi will always fall into the trap.
"Just now I came to report that Liu Qi led fifty infantry to attack Wenjiazhuang. This is the opportunity for the eldest son to bring about his own destruction. Does the general know whose family Wenjiazhuang belongs to?"
"My lord re-appoints the general, and the lieutenant general hires Wen. What's wrong?" Seeing Pang Ji's complacent look, Cai Hao guessed that Pang Ji must have a clever plan to kill Liu Qi, otherwise he wouldn't be so confident.
"Here's the secret. The eldest son blocked the funeral procession in front of the mansion and refused to let it pass. As the saying goes, the deceased is the most important person. If the eldest son violates the taboo, he will cause resentment among the people. This is one of the reasons. It's fine not to let the funeral procession pass, but there is a huge crowd in front of the mansion.
He carried out killings, and all men, women, old and young died under the guns of the guards. The eldest son was so cruel that he would surely make the people angry. This was the second reason. The eldest son dared to burn the corpses to eliminate traces. Now he was on a killing spree and his murderous intention was already aroused. He led fifty soldiers to kill with great momentum.
Xiang Wenjiazhuang, I'm afraid it's unjustifiable if some people don't die. The eldest son will be unreasonable and unforgiving, and he will definitely attract the hatred of the people." Pang Ji shook his head, as if he regarded Cai Hao as an emperor, and he seemed to be Zhang Liang's assistant.
Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, was a wise and capable minister who stabilized the country.
"There are three reasons, but so what? Once Liu Qi, the sick young master, becomes powerful, he will probably be like a fish in water. It will be very difficult to fish for dinner." Cai Mao saw that Pang Ji's analysis was reasonable, but Liu Qi was granted the title of master of personal soldiers.
It feels like there is a blockage in the throat, which makes you feel restless and your heart is temporarily blocked.
"What the general said is very true. Once the eldest son gains power, he is indeed like a fish in water. But when the water is very happy, it is the time to fall into a trap. This is exactly what I am considering. We can take the opportunity to weave a net. This
If you return to Liu Qi, you will not be able to escape this disaster, and you will eventually die."
"What kind of network did Pang Gong compile?" Cai Hao became more and more interested as he listened. As long as he heard something that could defeat Liu Qi, Cai Hao would be inexplicably excited.
"In view of the fact that the eldest son has committed a murder, and there are witnesses from the dead in Wenjiazhuang, the general can write a letter and rush to Nanyang to report to General Wenpin, secretly saying that the lord is fatuous, Liu Qi is weak and has passed the military power, and we are ignored
.Moreover, Liu Qi was cruel, and when he disagreed with Wenjiazhuang's funeral procession, he went on a killing spree, including women, children, old and young. The general couldn't stop him and had to write a letter to inform him. Liu Qi was already red-eyed and took the two masters with him.
Hundreds of soldiers are marching towards Wenjiazhuang to massacre the city." After Pang Ji finished speaking, he looked at Cai Hao who was listening intently, maintaining a calm expression.
After reacting, Cai Hao suddenly slapped the table and laughed loudly: "Slaughter the city?! Hahaha, Mr. Pang is really a military advisor. He can kill fish and kill fish. What a clever plan. What a clever plan."
"Thank you for your compliment, General. If you become General's military advisor, it is Ji's lifelong wish. Here, I would like to call you - Lord." Seeing Cai Mao's ecstasy, Pang Ji took the opportunity to call Lord and bow down to the ground. Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng also knelt down and bowed down.
, calling the lord, as if to express loyalty, which can be seen from the sun and the moon.
Cai Hao was stunned for a moment and looked at his confidants under the tent. He said something was wrong, but his heart was as sweet as honey.
"Just follow Pang Gong's words and get your pen." Cai Mao greeted loudly.
…
Liu Qi led Chen Wen, Chen Wu, the Four Seasons brothers and fifty elite infantry to attack Wenjiazhuang. The people along the streets in the city fled and talked a lot.
"What are you doing? Is there another rebellion?" an old man asked the person next to him with a trembling voice.
"Yes, I haven't seen so many soldiers lining up to cross the street in some time. I'm afraid the bandits are causing trouble." Another citizen analyzed.
"Have the bandits entered the city again? Alas, my daughter will have to go through a mountain road when she leaves the city today to return to her husband's house. Nothing will happen to her." A white-haired old man said worriedly.
"Sir, it's hard to say. In this world, there are troops and chaos in the city, not to mention the mountains outside the city?" the people nearby sighed.
"Hey, what should we do? What should we do?" When the white-haired old man heard this, he sighed, worried about the safety of his daughter.
"Isn't that Mr. Liu Qi?" A young man in the crowd shouted loudly.
"Yes, yes, isn't the eldest son sick at home for a long time? Why did he bring troops?" The residents of another street who had never seen the killing scene in front of Liu Qi's house couldn't help but yelled. The sick master has already led troops. This
The world must be so difficult and dangerous.
Liu Qi was riding on a maroon horse, and the common people's occasional words about current affairs floated in the wind. Liu Qi did not take seriously the comments of people who did not know the truth.
But at this moment, just as Pang Ji expected, Liu Qi, who was rushing fifty elites and riding a big maroon horse, did not feel how majestic he was. Instead, his mind was very confused. He had already started killing and expected Wenpin.
He will definitely avenge the genocide. The conflict between Liu Qi and Wenjiazhuang is whether he should ruthlessly massacre the city and kill all the people in Wenjiazhuang without leaving any survivors?
