Chapter 304: Seize Xiangyang, Cao Liu to meet again
Chapter 304 Capturing Xiangyang Cao Liu meets again
Mrs. Cai is completely confused. On one side is her cruel brother, and on the other is her husband who loves her. Everyone must choose how to choose. Under the magic of love, a woman will forget many things. For example, her commitment to others! Mrs. Cai
Gritting her teeth, she took out the medicine bag given to her by Cai Mao and handed it to Liu Biao.
"Madam, what is this?" In fact, Liu Biao had already thought of it and was just pretending to be stupid.
"Husband, I'm sorry for you!" Mrs. Cai covered her face and cried. Liu Biao quickly hugged her into his arms. Mrs. Cai, who was ashamed in her heart, did not see the bright light flashing in Liu Biao's eyes.
"It seems that this is what Cai Mao asked you to harm me!" Liu Biao shook his head and smiled: "I really failed, and was betrayed by my uncle!"
"Husband, Cai Mao only knows the family, he doesn't care about family ties!" Mrs. Cai smiled bitterly and said: "I'm not afraid of my husband being angry. When I married my husband, I was forced by my good brother Cai Mao!"
"This..." Liu Biao's face looked a little ugly. No man would look good when he heard that his wife was forced to marry him.
"Puch..." She raised her head and saw Liu Biao's face. Mrs. Cai covered her mouth and smiled, like a little fox who had stolen a chicken. Liu Biao was stunned by that cute look on her face.
"Madam, Cai Mao obviously has bad intentions. For your sake and for the inheritance of my bloodline, please leave Jingzhou!" Shaking his head and putting aside the thoughts in his mind, Liu Biao stroked Madam Cai's head dotingly.
"Husband, what about you?" Mrs. Cai asked very hesitantly.
"Me?" Liu Biao chuckled and said, "As the saying goes: a person is not too old after fifty. I am nearly sixty years old and I am a herdsman in Jingzhou, a great Han Dynasty. Naturally, I have to stay here and take the medicine in your hands!"
"Husband, let's go together!" Mrs. Cai took Liu Biao's hand with a look of reluctance.
"I can't leave!" Liu Biao said with a smile: "Cai Mao may not care when he finds out that you are missing, but if he finds out that I am missing, how can he remain indifferent? You can only leave if I don't leave!"
"Husband, I..." Mrs. Cai's face was pale, and she grabbed Liu Biao's hand tightly, her eyes full of desire.
"Stop talking! Be obedient!" Like coaxing a little girl, Liu Biao's tone was so gentle, but Mrs. Cai couldn't refuse.
"Husband, you asked me to go to Liu Zhang, just in case..." In troubled times, even her own brother can't believe it, so how can Mrs. Cai believe that Liu Zhang will properly arrange herself.
"Alas!" Liu Biao sighed and said, "How can I not understand what you mean! But among the princes in the world, except Liu Zhang, who may take care of you for the sake of his fellow clan, the other princes will never tolerate you!"
"This..." How could Mrs. Cai not understand what Liu Biao meant, but she was really reluctant to leave her husband behind.
"Don't hesitate!" Liu Biao smiled and said, "Go!"
"Yeah!" Mrs. Cai snorted and crawled into Liu Biao's arms again. The two sat quietly like this until the lanterns came on and the servants came to treat them to a meal.
After a few days, Liu Biao became increasingly ill. But what was puzzling was that Mrs. Cai and Liu Cong who were supposed to be with Liu Biao did not know where they were. Cai Hao led his troops and searched Xiangyang but could not find them.
.
"Tell me, where can Mrs. Cai and the second young master go?" Zhang Yun was Cai Mao's confidant. He had accompanied Cai Mao in Jingzhou to search for a long time, but there was no trace of Mrs. Cai, and he was a little puzzled.
"Who knows!" Cai Mao was very depressed. He thought Mrs. Cai was just speaking out of anger, but unexpectedly she ran away from home and took Liu Cong with her. Without Liu Cong, who would surrender Jingzhou? Cai Mao is not qualified!
"Then what should we do?" For the past few days, Cao Cao's army has been performing martial arts under Xiangyang City. Zhang Yun was frightened when he saw it, fearing that Cao Cao would attack Xiangyang if he got upset!
"How do I know?" Cai Mao said helplessly: "If it doesn't work, I will go to Prime Minister Cao to discuss it and see if I can get the eldest son to come back."
"What will happen if the eldest son comes back?" Zhang Yun said with a wry smile: "With the eldest son's character, he will definitely not surrender like this!"
"Then what else can we do?" Cai Hao sneered: "He refused to surrender, so I put a knife on his neck to see if he surrendered!"
"In that case, you should ask Prime Minister Cao!" Zhang Yun sighed, he was also helpless about this matter.
Cai Mao couldn't find Mrs. Cai and Liu Cong, so he had to go to Cao's camp. When Cao Cao learned that Mrs. Cai and Liu Cong were missing, he was furious. But anger turned to anger, and he always wanted to find a way to peacefully accept Jingzhou. In the end,
Liu Qi, who had not been sent to Xudu, was taken out again and prepared to be a puppet for surrender. Of course, it was Cai Mao's task to persuade Liu Qi to surrender Jingzhou.
However, neither Cai Mao nor Cao Cao knew that Liu Biao seemed to be seriously ill and unconscious, but in fact, he was planning to deal with Cai Mao! Before leaving Xiangyang, Mrs. Cai had ordered a letter to be sent to You County. Liu Biao's nephew
Liu Pan, since the fall of Changsha, has been living idle in You County, and Liu Biao is waiting for him to come to help!
The unlucky Liu Qi was sent back to Jingzhou by Cao Cao. Cai Mao was not a good person. Under all kinds of torture, Liu Qi had no choice but to agree and surrender Jingzhou. With Mr. Liu as the representative of surrender, Mrs. Cai and Liu Cong were not important!
In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Cai Hao immediately picked an auspicious day for Liu Qi to surrender after he agreed to surrender.
Three days later, at the gate of Xiangyang City, Liu Qi tied himself with yellow silk and was accompanied by Cai Mao to welcome Cao Cao into the city. Kuai Liang and Zhang Yun were holding an album of national registrations and an army roster respectively. As for the official uniforms, seals and ribbons, Cai Mao personally presented them.
Just when Liu Qi was kicked in the crook of the knee by Cai Hao and had to kneel down, a man jumped out from behind Cai Hao and took away the seal of the Jingzhou governor!
"Wen Zhongye, what do you want to do?" Cai Mao looked back and saw that the person who took the seal from his hand was Wenpin!
"Cai Mao! You are a shameless villain, and you actually forced the eldest son to surrender. Of course, I am here to fight for him!" Wenpin held a big seal in his hand with a cold look on his face.
"Are you looking for death?" Cai Hao stretched out his hand and said, "Now return the big seal, and I will think you were joking just now!"
"Cai Mao! What's going on?" At this time, Cao Cao, who came to accept the surrender, also appeared with his Xiahou brothers!
"Prime Minister Cao..." Cai Hao broke into a cold sweat and didn't know what to say!
"Mengde, how are you?" A clear voice sounded from the top of Xiangyang City. He was wearing a flowing crane cloak and an embroidered robe. Who could he be if he wasn't Liu Biao?
"Liu Jingsheng?" Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and asked, "Aren't you about to die?"
"Who told you? Could it be Cai Degui?" Liu Biao said with a smile: "Degui, you did a great job. Even Cao Cao, the great hero of the generation, was deceived by you. You are worthy of being the Commander-in-Chief of the Jingzhou Navy!"
"I..." Cai Mao's eyes widened, he grabbed Cao Cao's sleeve, and said in a panic: "Prime Minister Cao, you...don't listen to Liu Biao, I am...I sincerely surrender!"
"Don't worry, Degui. How can you not see the true nature of such a superficial plan?" Cao Cao patted Cai Mao on the shoulder, smiled and said to Liu Biao on the city: "Brother Jingsheng, now the city gate is wide open, your
The eldest son Liu Qi is at the door, you don’t want to surrender even if you don’t want to!"
"Really?" Liu Biao smiled and said, "Mengde, you can give it a try!"
"Just try it!" Xiahou Dun's face was ferocious, and the guards behind him were also ready to move!
"Slow down!" Cao Cao grabbed Xiahou Dun because he saw figures at the city gate and there must be an ambush.
"Lord, you..." Xiahou Dun turned his head and looked at Cao Cao with a puzzled expression.
Cao Cao smiled and said: "Degui, since you sincerely surrender, why not leave Xiangyang City to you!"
"This..." Cai Mao asked in horror: "Does the Prime Minister want me to capture Xiangyang?"
"What? You don't want to?" Cao Cao bared his teeth and said sinisterly: "It seems that you and Liu Jingsheng are in cahoots!"
"Prime Minister, I..." Looking at Liu Biao on the top of the city, hesitating for a long time, Cai Mao gritted his teeth and said, "Prime Minister, I am willing to obtain Xiangyang for you!"
"Okay!" Cao Cao said with great satisfaction: "Then it depends on your ability!"
Cai Hao nodded, rode his horse to the foot of Xiangyang City, and shouted at the head of Xiangyang City: "Xiangyang defenders, listen, I am Cai Hao, the commander-in-chief of the Jingzhou Navy. Now I order you to put down your weapons and surrender!"
After listening to Cai Mao's words, the Xiangyang defenders looked at each other in confusion. In this situation, let alone the soldiers were confused, even the generals were confused. Of course, there are also sober people, such as Wenpin!
"Cai Mao, you, a villain who only seeks glory, have the right to call yourself the Commander-in-Chief of the Jingzhou Navy?" Wenpin pointed his halberd at Cai Mao with anger on his face, and kept shouting curses.
"What Zhongye said is true!" Liu Biao said with a smile: "Cai Mao, from today on, you are no longer the commander-in-chief of the Jingzhou Navy!"
"It's not true if you say it's not true?" Cai Hao sneered: "All servants and servants of my Cai family should immediately put down their weapons and welcome Cao's army into the city!"
"Cai Mao, stop your wishful thinking!" Liu Biao said with a smile: "Do you think I won't guard against this move? Today, the soldiers guarding the city, in addition to the recruited militiamen, are people from the Huang family and the Pang family. Your Cai family has already been
Catch them all in one fell swoop!"
"Impossible!" Cai Mao exclaimed: "Cai Zhong, Cai He, come out and see me quickly!"
"Don't waste your efforts!" On top of the city, a group of pawns came out escorting two generals. Cai Mao took a closer look and saw that the person being escorted was not Cai Zhong, or Cai He, who was he!
"Trash!" Cao Cao said coldly. Cai Mao didn't know who he was talking about, and the cold sweat on his head suddenly broke out.
"Liu Biao, you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!" Forced into a desperate situation, Cai Hao suddenly saw Liu Qi tied up like a rice dumpling. He was overjoyed, put a long sword on Liu Qi's neck, and said
Liu Biao said fiercely: "My sister and Liu Cong have disappeared! Now you only have a son, Liu Qi. If you insist on not surrendering, don't blame me for telling you to cut off your descendants!"
"Qi'er, are you afraid?" Ignoring Cai Hao, Liu Biao looked at Liu Qi with tenderness in his eyes.
"Gudong..." Liu Qi swallowed his saliva. Anyone with a sharp long sword on his neck would have a tight throat. But Liu Qi looked at Liu Biao's gentle expression, and he suddenly puffed up his chest and said: "Report to father, my child...
