Although he spoke righteously, Liu Qi didn't have any confidence. However, Liu Biao was already very relieved, because Liu Qi was just a dandy. When the sharp sword came to him, Liu Qi was not timid, which made Liu Biao very happy!
"Okay! This looks like my son, Liu Jingsheng!" Liu Biao said with a long smile, "Cai Hao, you have the guts to kill my son!"
"You think I don't dare?" Cai Mao glared and put his long sword against Liu Qi's neck. The sword's edge pressed against his neck, leaving a red mark. Liu Qi, who was worried and frightened, bit his lip, but he didn't
He made a sound, but his trembling legs betrayed him.
"Come here!" Liu Qi, no matter how dandy he is, is also Liu Biao's son. A tiger's poison does not eat its seeds, not to mention Liu Biao is not vicious? Just after Liu Biao shouted, dozens of people appeared in the city of Xiangyang.
"Liu Biao, how dare you!" Cai Mao's eyes were split with rage. He never thought that Liu Biao would escort everyone in his family to the city wall!
"Dare not? Why wouldn't I dare?" Liu Biao sneered and said, "You said it too! My wife and youngest son have disappeared, and I only have one son, Liu Qi. If he dies, I will be alone. Do you think I dare?"
"I..." Cai Mao's hands were trembling. He would not do such a stupid thing by exchanging dozens of lives of the Cai family for the lives of Liu Biao and his son.
"Degui?" Cao Cao frowned when he saw this. He didn't want things to go beyond his control.
"Prime Minister, I can't!" The long sword in Cai Mao's hand fell to the ground with a clang. Whether it was surrendering to Cao Cao or assassinating Liu Biao, Cai Mao did it for his family. How could he be willing to destroy his family for Cao Cao!
"Cai Mao, you regret it now, it's already too late!" Cao Cao sneered: "If I can't capture Xiangyang today, and when I capture Xiangyang tomorrow, I will be the first to attack you, the Cai family!"
"Prime Minister, you can't do that!" Cai Hao said in shock: "It's because of you that I got this land now. Even if today's thing doesn't work out, you can't do this to me! Are you just afraid that others will say that you are crossing the river and burning the bridge?"
"Crossing the river and destroying the bridge? You are worthy of it!" Cao Cao sneered: "A capricious villain, for the sake of profit, actually buys and seeks glory, everyone in the world will punish him!"
"Cao Cao!" Cai Mao gritted his teeth, wishing he could tear Cao Cao into pieces! Most people would burn bridges when they cross the river, but Cao Cao started to tear down bridges before he even crossed the river!
"Young Master, leave quickly!" Cai Hao slashed the yellow silk on Liu Qi's body with a backhand sword.
"This..." The yellow silk on Liu Qi's body was cut off, but he was stunned. Cai Mao pushed him hard, and he realized and ran towards the city!
"Want to run?" Xiahou Dun clamped his horse's belly and rushed toward Liu Qi.
"Look down on me!" As a commander-in-chief, Cai Hao knew that it was difficult for two fists to defeat four hands. Although he was no match for Xiahou Dun, he was not stupid enough to fight Xiahou Dun head-on.
"Get out of the way!" Xiahou Dun shouted. Cai Mao commanded more than a thousand soldiers to form a human wall. Even if Xiahou Dun could kill him, he would not have time to capture Liu Qi!
"Brother, don't be alarmed, I'm coming too!" Xia Houyuan also rode forward, but Wenpin's personal guards also rushed up.
Wenpin and Cai Mao protected Liu Qi and rushed to Xiangyang City. Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Yun also protected Kuai Liang and rushed to the city! Suddenly, a trumpet sounded in Cao's army. It turned out that Cao Cao had already made two preparations!
Seeing that Cai Mao couldn't handle Liu Biao, he immediately ordered an attack on the city!
"Close the city gate quickly!" Liu Biao shouted, and the Xiangyang city gate slowly closed.
"My lord, the eldest son is still under the city!" Liu Pan stood next to Liu Biao, pointing to the city with an anxious look: "If we close the city gate now, the eldest son will be dead!"
"Leave it to fate!" Liu Biao said with a sad smile: "Pan'er, if Xiangyang unfortunately falls into the hands of Cao Cao, you will serve under the champion marquis and take care of your wife and Cong'er at the same time!"
"What?" Liu Pan asked in surprise: "My wife and the second young master went to join the champion?"
"Exactly!" Liu Biao said with a smile: "Cong'er is extremely smart. If you take care of her again, she should be able to live a good life! Maybe there will be a day when I, the Liu family, will be honored!"
"I understand! Uncle!" Liu Pan clasped his fists with both hands, his face full of determination.
"Qi'er, I'm sorry for you as a father!" Liu Biao sighed, pointed at Cao Cao coldly and said: "Cao Mengde, if you want Jingzhou, you have to ask me whether I agree! Come on! I'll show you what it is.
The great man’s household dog!”
"Humph!" Cao Cao snorted coldly and ordered: "Song Xian, Wei Xu, and Hou Cheng, you are the fierce generals under Lu Bu's command, but I have never seen them..."
"Prime Minister, we ask for orders to attack the city!" Song Xian and the others understood what Cao Cao meant. At the same time, they also wanted military glory, so they immediately stood up and accepted the order!
"Okay!" Cao Cao smiled and said, "Gao Shun, Yu Jin, you two will command the troops to attack the city!"
"Yes!" Gao Shun, after accepting the order from Yu Jin, immediately returned to his army. Gao Shun's trapped camp and Yu Jin's Qingzhou soldiers rushed towards Xiangyang City carrying ladders, pushing carts, and carrying broadswords.
"Lord, let me join the siege!" A big man ran to Cao Cao and said, "I haven't fought for a long time, and my hands are itchy!"
"Fengxian, how can you kill a chicken with a bull's knife!" Cao Cao said with a smile: "After Jingzhou is defeated, you will be busy!"
"Oh?" Lu Bu asked, "My lord, are you ready to attack Liu Zhang?"
"That's natural!" Cao Cao laughed and said, "If it weren't for that, why would I be in such a hurry to attack Jingzhou!"
"Okay!" Lu Bu smiled and retreated. In fact, he also knew that the reason why Cao Cao took him on the expedition was because he didn't want to cause a fire in the backyard. When Chen Gong and Lu Bu get together, unexpected troubles often arise.
At the top of Xiangyang City, the shouts of killing were loud. Cao's army was fierce and sharp, but the Jingzhou Army was not a freeloader. Without Cai Mao, who liked to incite surrender, the Jingzhou Army, under the command of Liu Pan, exploded with combat power beyond normal.
"Lord, I am guilty. Can you not implicate the Cai family?" In the turret at the top of the city, Cai Mao knelt in front of Liu Biao. It must be said that Liu Qi and the others were really lucky. The moment the city gate closed, they rushed in.
Entered Xiangyang City.
"If you really kill Qi'er, I will definitely slaughter the entire Cai family. But now that Qi'er is fine, I will only pursue you!" Liu Biao sat on the chair, feeling a little unbearable. After all, Cai Mao was his elder brother-in-law, and Cai Mao was his uncle.
The family is his wife’s natal family. Who has ever seen a son-in-law kill all his mother-in-law’s family?
"Thank you, Lord!" Cai Mao really didn't expect that Liu Biao would let the Cai family go.
"You're welcome, I'm just thinking about my wife!" Liu Biao sighed: "The Cai family is my wife's natal family after all. Even if it is sorry for me, I don't want my wife to hold a grudge for this!"
"Sister..." When it comes to Mrs. Cai, Cai Mao loves and hates her. If Mrs. Cai was still here and poisoned Liu Biao, such a big change would not have happened today. But without Mrs. Cai, Liu Biao would not forgive the Cai family.
Cai Mao's heart can be described as conflicting.
"Lord, what should I do with General Cai?" Looking at Cai Hao, Wenpin felt a little conflicted. After all, Cai Hao was once his old commander, so he was kind to him.
"Lord, my crime is extremely serious!" Seeing that the Cai family was fine, Cai Mao also thought about it. He smiled and said, "I wonder if you can let me choose a way to die?"
Liu Biao looked at Cai Hao with bright eyes and asked: "What does De Gui mean...to live and die with Xiangyang City?"
"Exactly!" Cai Mao sighed: "In the past, everyone in the world said that the lord was a household dog. Even Mao was a little... haha... I didn't expect that everyone in the world underestimated the lord!"
"De Gui, who can be the governor and pastor of a state, who is a fool?" Liu Biao said with a smile: "Even Yuan Shu who died in battle and Gongsun Zan who died in defeat were both heroes. It's a pity that they met each other.
A more outstanding hero!"
"What the lord said is true!" Cai Mao said with a smile: "It seems that today is the day for the showdown between the lord and Cao Cao!"
"Yes!" Liu Biao said with a smile: "Degui, I have already embraced the belief that I will die. What about you?"
"I am a damned person, so why bother asking, lord!" Cai Mao said with a smile, "If lord agrees, from today on, Xiangyang City and I will live and die together!"
"Okay! I agreed!" Liu Biao said with a smile: "Go and make arrangements for the Cai family, and we will have a good fight with Cao Cao!"
Cao Cao is not comparable to Sun Jian, Liu Bei, and Gao Shun's trapped camp and Qingzhou soldiers, let alone Liu Bei's rabble. Sun Ce's water thieves can be compared. The brutal fighting lasted from morning to late at night, and neither side knew how many there were.
People fell to death at the foot of Xiangyang City. This siege lasted for half a month!
"The city is broken!" A burst of cheers rang out from Cao's army. Sure enough, the crumbling Xiangyang city gate collapsed under Cao's army's charge, and Cao's soldiers poured into Xiangyang like a tide!
"Go down with the order and don't harass the people!" After Cao Cao gave the order to the soldiers who were passing the order, he then said to Xia Houyuan and others beside him: "Zixiao, you lead your personal guards to surround the Cai Mansion; Zilian, you lead the troops to surround the Kuai Mansion; Yuan Rang
, Miaocai, follow me to Jingzhou Governor's Mansion!"
When the army entered the city, the city of Xiangyang was in panic. The people stood in the house, observing Cao Jun through the cracks in the door. Cao Jun's soldiers, who had long heard that Jingxiang was wealthy, looked at the neat houses in the city and swallowed their saliva. If it weren't for
Following Cao Cao's strict order, they had already started looting.
Cao Cao was not in the mood to observe Xiangyang City. Besides, there was really nothing worth seeing in Xiangyang City after the war. With the Xiahou brothers, Cao Cao came to the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion. The Governor's Mansion didn't even close the door, and he walked straight into the inner hall.
.
"Meng De, you are finally here!" Liu Biao was sitting in the lobby, looking at Cao Cao with a smile. Sitting next to him were Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Kuai Liang, and Wen Pin, all of whom were the most ferocious people who resisted Cao Cao.
"Brother Jingsheng, what else can you say now?" Cao Cao thought Liu Biao was ready to surrender, and his face was full of pride.
"It's nothing, I just said goodbye to you!" Liu Biao said with a smile: "It's a pity that I can't see you competing with the champion!"
"What do you mean?" Cao Cao's heart tightened and he thought of a possibility. He quickly shouted: "Come here, call the doctor!"
"Brother Meng De, don't bother!" A blush flowed from the corner of Liu Biao's mouth. He rolled his eyes and died. After death, he still sat there quietly!
"Farewell! Meng De!" Cai Mao's mouth also flowed with a bright red color. If he didn't die, the Cai family would not be safe! Seeing this, Cao Cao quickly looked at Zhang Yun, Wen Pin, and Kuai Liang. Fortunately, these three people did not look like Cai Mao.
Died like Liu Biao.
"I wonder how the three of them are?" Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the three of them were not dead. Cai Mao and the other five were the main officials in Jingzhou. If they were all dead, Cao Cao would also have a headache.
"If Duke Cao allows it, we would like to resign..." Kuai Liang was not in good health. He had already vomited blood several times after guarding the city for half a month. When Wen hired Zhang Yun, he naturally followed Kuai Liang.
"Okay, let the three of you go back first..." Cao Cao just frowned and agreed. He had just captured Xiangyang, and Jiangling County and Hengyang County had not yet been captured! Cao Cao believed that as long as the three of them did not leave Jingzhou, they would eventually fight for it.
He serves. If the three of them want to leave Jingzhou, they won't even be able to get out of Xiangyang City.
