Cai Mao wanted Liu Bei dead, so he did not hesitate to use his family's private soldiers to eradicate Liu Bei.
Cai Mao sent a thousand private soldiers, led by Cai Zhong and Cai He, Cai Mao's younger brothers. Their only purpose was to kill Liu Bei!
Although these thousand men are Cai's private soldiers, they have been trained by Cai Mao for a long time and have also experienced some actual battles to suppress bandits. Their combat effectiveness is by no means weaker than that of Jingzhou's regular army.
As for Liu Bei, there were only less than 300 remnant soldiers who had lost all their combat effectiveness, and they could not withstand the attack of these private soldiers at all.
At this time, Liu Bei was still unaware of Cai Mao's series of actions, and was waiting outside Xinye City with his remaining 300 men.
The temporary guard of Xinye City will not let Liu Bei enter the city before getting a formal reply from Liu Biao.
In fact, the guard also hoped in his heart that Liu Biao would eventually reject Liu Bei's request, so that his "temporary" title would be cancelled.
Although Xinye is just a small town, since he is the defender of the city, he naturally does not want to give it to others. After all, as the defender of a city, his authority is quite high compared to before. .
Liu Bei was waiting for Sun Qian's return, but he was not sure whether Liu Biao would agree to his request to stay in Jingzhou.
Liu Bei still held a trace of luck in his heart, hoping that Liu Biao would show his kindness and allow him to re-enter Xinye.
Of course, Liu Bei also knew that it was almost impossible to get Liu Biao to re-accept him through just one audience. After all, although Liu Biao was the master of Jingzhou, he would not act arbitrarily on many matters, but would listen to the opinions of others. .
Liu Bei knew very well that although he had made many famous people in Jingzhou over the years, most of them were people without authority. Among the upper echelons of Jingzhou, there were definitely not a few people who wanted to drive him out of Jingzhou. And he had attacked without authorization before. Wancheng can be said to have given these people a huge excuse, and they will definitely use it to their advantage, vowing to drive themselves out of Jingzhou completely before giving up.
However, Liu Bei has already given up. The worst he can do is to lose his face. If Sun Qian fails to persuade Liu Biao, then he will take action himself. No matter whether he is shameless or humble, he must get Liu Biao to agree to continue to let him stay in Xinye. until.
Anyway, I have nothing left, so it doesn’t matter even if I am scolded for being shameless.
When Liu Bei was thinking about how to persuade Liu Biao if Sun Qian failed, Cai Zhong and Cai He had already entered Xinye City with a thousand of their private soldiers.
Liu Bei was stationed in the north of Xinye, while Cai's private soldiers entered through the south gate. Therefore, Liu Bei had no idea of the other party's arrival, let alone that he was facing a huge crisis.
Hearing that Cai Zhong and Cai He's purpose was to deal with Liu Bei, General Xinye was quite happy. Once Liu Bei died, his position would be consolidated. In order to ensure that Liu Bei could be eradicated, he specially sent 500 more people to Cai's family. brother.
Cai Zhong and Cai He naturally accepted Xinye's "good intentions". Although in their opinion, one thousand of their own men were enough to deal with Liu Bei, Liu Bei had three hundred soldiers around him, so a battle was inevitable. . Although a thousand private soldiers face 300 defeated soldiers, the chance of winning is 100%, but since it is a battle, there will be some casualties. For your own private soldiers, the number of casualties can be reduced one by one. So , the Cai brothers will never refuse the five hundred soldiers sent by General Xinye. They are the best cannon fodder.
Caizhong and Cai He led 1,500 people in addition to the north gate of Xinye and went straight to Liu Bei's location.
Soon, they saw their target.
"Kill!" Cai Zhong shouted, and 1,500 people rushed towards Liu Bei's place with murderous intent.
"What's going on?" Suddenly seeing an army coming towards him, Liu Bei couldn't remain calm.
You must know that there are only 300 people around you, and they are all defeated soldiers. Not to mention the low morale, after so many days of hard work, the combat effectiveness is also extremely poor.
Facing an enemy force that suddenly appears and is several times larger than our own, we are just letting others slaughter us.
Not to mention re-entering Xinye, even my own life will be in danger!
"General Zhang, please protect my lord and escape from here!" When Zhuge Liang saw an army suddenly charging out, his expression changed and he hurriedly shouted to Zhang Fei.
Although Zhuge Liang was not optimistic about Liu Bei's return to control the new country, he never thought that Liu Bei's life would be in danger.
According to Liu Biao's character, he would not kill Liu Bei. This army must have been sent by the Jingzhou general without permission.
Zhuge Liang sighed softly. After all, he still failed to calculate everything correctly. Maybe his opinion of Liu Biao was not too biased, but he did not expect that the other people in Jingzhou were so small.
Ma Teng and Sun Jian were defeated one after another. Cao Cao's power may not be shaken in the next ten years. Don't those people in Jingzhou know that killing Liu Bei is a stupid thing that will cause pain to his relatives and pleasure to his enemies!
But it's too late to say anything now. The most important thing right now is to ensure that Liu Bei escapes. Once anything happens to Liu Bei, everything will be over.
