"If you want to survive in death and save Jingzhou from danger, please withdraw from Xiangyang first!" Zhuge Liang's words echoed in the study.

"What? Quit Xiangyang?" Huo Jun looked at Zhuge Liang in shock, not understanding how Kuai Liang's nephew could have said such "bastard" words.

Although Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue were also shocked, they were so smart that they quickly understood what Zhuge Liang meant.

"Now there are many enemies but I am few, and the enemy is determined but I am unprepared. If you fight to death in Xiangyang, you will be unable to escape the situation of collapse!" Zhuge Liang continued to analyze, "It is not important to be defeated just because of defeat, but if Mr. Qi, Lord Zirou, and Lord Yidu are surprised, the situation in Jingzhou will be difficult to recover.

Therefore, it is the most urgent thing now to protect Mr. Qi and the two adults to withdraw from Xiangyang first.

"As long as you can escape unstoppably, the two masters can succeed Prince Qi as the governor of Jingzhou, and then inform the nine counties of Jingxiang to launch a serious crime of usurping the rebellion and launch an army to attack Cai Mao!" Zhuge Liang's elegant face showed a convincing look of wisdom, and he said calmly, "The four counties in Jingnan are controlled by General Liu Lang (Liu Pan), and Mr. Qi will definitely welcome Prince Qi.

With this stable foundation, it is no problem to defeat Cai Mao with the ability of Lord Zirou and Lord Yidu. In addition, when Mr. Qi is in power and Cai Mao is lost, the military and civilians in Jingzhou will have their own tendencies. And if necessary, Mr. Qi can ask my lord for help."

"What Kong Ming said is very true!" Kuai Yue nodded and agreed.

"In fact, what we need to worry about the most is not Cai Mao, but the 'fuck horse' and 'fuck horse'. The longer the Jingzhou chaos is dragged down, the more likely it is to be ridden by outsiders!" Zhuge Liang looked at Kuai Liang and said affirmatively.

"Huh~~! Lord Zhou Mu, just a few days after you left, Jingzhou was in such a situation!" Kuai Liang sighed to the sky.

When he lowered his head, Kuai Liang's eyes had returned to his former shrewdness. He said calmly: "Zhong Miao, hurry up and order the troops and guard your east gate. When I pick up the eldest son, I will break through from the east gate and leave the city immediately!"

"The last one will receive the order!"

"Remember to be alert and do not be attacked by Cai Mao!" Kuai Liang ordered carefully.

"Yes, I will leave at the end!" Huo Jun took a gaze and left.

"Alien degree. You can quickly settle your family and then go to the east gate to meet Huo Jun!" Kuai Liang turned his head and said to Kuai Yue.

"Brother, let me pick up the eldest son..." Kuai Yue knew what Kuai Liang was going to do, so he hurriedly dissuaded him.

"What's the matter to argue about? You have to die!" Kuai Liang waved his hand, turned around and asked Zhuge Liangliang, "Kong Ming, how are you going? Are you willing to take the risk of breaking through with us?" Zhuge Liang was different from the Kuai brothers, and he was the identity of Liu Bei's envoy.

Cai Mao would definitely be a little concerned.

"I am happy to accompany you!" Zhuge Liang said with a smile, "Among the soldiers on the mission of Guard Liang and Gongyou, this time, a powerful general under the command of Junhou can definitely provide some arm help to Lord Zirou!"

"Okay!" Kuai Liang was also very happy to see Zhuge Liang agreeing to walk with him. He nodded and said, "Since that's the case, it's better to go quickly..."

.

Just as Cai Maozhi was proudly preparing in the mansion, he suddenly arranged for his confidant to report to the provincial governor's office. The eldest son Liu Qi was forcibly taken out of the mansion by Kuai Liang.

Cai Mao was shocked. After thinking for a while, he realized that it was probably his own strategy leaked. Cai Mao, who was extremely taboo about the Kuai brothers, was afraid that there would be another heresy, so he urgently ordered Cai Xun, Huang Zu and others to launch it in advance.

.

Almost a moment, Xiangyang City, immersed in her sleep, was awakened by the shocking shouts of killing.

The Jingzhou army under Cai Mao's control all rushed to the east gate guarded by Huo Jun. At the same time, the envoys from Cai Mao hurried to the ambushing troops outside the city, and ordered him and others to strictly prevent Kuai Liang and others from breaking through the east gate.

After joining Liu Qi, Kuai Liang and others, Huo Jun personally led a group of troops to block Cai Mao's army in the city, and on the other hand, he ordered the deputy general to cover Liu Qi and others to retreat southeast.

At the south gate

"Kill, kill... Huo Jun is a rebel, they are all rebels... Kill them all is a great achievement!" Cai Xun waved his big sword and ordered his soldiers to launch a fierce attack on Huo Jun's troops.

After all, the soldiers still had some concerns when attacking their comrades, so Cai Xun had to boost morale by the name of "destroying rebellion".

"Fight to the death and never retreat!" Huo Jun didn't say so much nonsense. He only said four words. The action of the spear in his hand replaced other languages.

"Fight to death and never retreat!" Huo Jun's soldiers shouted in unison, echoing his captain. Although Huo Jun is not old, he has a very good military management style. All the soldiers under him are willing to die for him, and their troops are absolutely worth more than the Jingzhou army.

The former comrades-in-law now have to fight to the death!

The swords and guns dance, and the arrows whistle!

The screams were repeated, blood was splattering, and the remaining limbs were flying, and the fierce battle was in full swing!

.

"Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue don't leave, leave your head!" The captain Cai Qing slapped his horse and danced his sword, separated the blocking crowd, and rushed towards Kuai Liang and his party.

Cai Qing was a brother of the Cai Mao clan. He was famous for his bravery and often claimed to be the number one brave and brave in Jingzhou. Cai Mao also valued this brother quite well, promoted him to be the captain, and ordered him to station in Caiyang City.

After returning quietly under Cai Mao's order, Cai Qing secretly sneaked outside the east gate of Xiangyang. According to Cai Mao's plan, Cai Qing should have attacked in the ugly situation and intercepted and killed Kuai Liang and others in the city.

But unexpectedly, Kuai Liang and his party suddenly broke out of the city before the arrival of the hour. Cai Qing was a little embarrassed and hurriedly mobilized his troops to pursue him for more than ten miles before he could barely intercept Kuai Liang and others.

Recognizing that the enemy troops seemed to be sanitating some people to retreat to the south, Cai Qing concluded that the Kuai Liang brothers must be among them. How could Cai Qing suppress the excitement in his heart?

Relying on his bravery, Cai Qing handed over the team to the deputy general, while he personally led the elite soldiers to pounce directly on Kuai Liang and others.

Cai Qing's reputation was indeed not a flaw. He took advantage of the chaos and led hundreds of elite soldiers to fight for a bloody path, approaching Liu Qi, Kuai Liang and his party.

"Wait, hurry up and guard the eldest son and the governor Kuai retreat south. I will block Cai Qing!" The commander under Huo Jun recognized Cai Qing. Knowing that something was wrong, he shouted loudly to the soldiers beside him, and then drove his horse to meet the pursuers.

"Don't be rampant!" Yi Shi shouted loudly and waved his sword to slash Cai Qing.

Cai Qing didn't answer, and slashed it out with one knife.

"Dangdangdang..." After a few rounds of battles, Yi Shi was in a difficult situation. Cai Qing rose up to bravely and shouted sternly. The big sword in his palm hid the look of wind and thunder, and quickly slashed out, cutting Yi Shi into two pieces in half.

"Overbial power!" Without looking at Yi Shi's dead body, Cai Qing rode his horse and chased Kuai Liang and others in the direction of escape.

Seeing the distance getting closer, Cai Qing became more and more excited and cursed with a ferocious smile: "The second dog of Kuai family, see where can you escape today?" Without hesitation, Cai Qing slapped his mount and rushed into the enemy group, taking the Kuai family's brothers straight away.

A infantryman suddenly rushed to Cai Qing's side, and slashed the sword in his hand. Cai Qing didn't care and came forward to him. He wanted to return and kill the young man who was ignorant of his life and death.

"Clang!" After the sharp and harsh metal collision, Cai Qing was shocked to find that the other party's strength was still above him. If he was not careful, he would suffer a loss.

After the infantry took advantage of the situation, his movements continued, and he walked around Cai Qing like the wind. The ring-headed sword slashed out continuously without any gaps, one knife was as fast as one knife, and one knife was as fierce as one knife.

"Uh~!" After being overwhelmed, Cai Qing knew something was wrong and drove the horse away. However, the horse only rode less than ten steps. A cold steel knife was inserted into Cai Qing's back heart and then penetrated from his chest.

"...Who are you?" Cai Qing held back his last breath and struggled to ask the infantryman who had already jumped behind him.

"Under the tent of Guan Junhou - Zhou Cang, the thief-camp!" The man in the infantry replied in a low voice, then drew his sword to lower the head of Cai Qing, leaped his body, and jumped back to the ground again.

When Cai Qing's headless body fell off the horse, Zhou Cang had already retreated to Sun Gan and Zhuge Liang's side and re-performed his responsibilities as guarding.

"Cai Qing is dead!" After taking Cai Qing's head from Zhou Cang, another commander under Huo Jun immediately commanded his subordinates to shout in unison, and he has disintegrated the morale of the pursuers...

At this time, Huo Jun also led the remaining troops behind the palace to chase after him, attacking each other twice, and finally defeating Cai Qing's army, who had lost his chief general.

Afterwards, Kuai Liang and his remaining troops retreated in a hurry to the southeast without hesitation.

.

By dawn, Cai Mao finally settled the situation in Xiangyang City.

Most of the officials in Jingzhou who spent the night in panic and doubt were shocked to find that Xiangyang had changed - Cai Mao completely controlled the situation in Xiangyang.

The Kuai Liang, who was originally in a row with Cai Mao, had become a "rebellion" and had no idea of ​​life and death.

Just when Cai Mao was so proud that he went out to pursue Liu Qi, but Cai Xun brought back a "bad news" - Liu Qi, Kuai Liang and others all escaped, and Cai Qing was killed!

This news was like a basin of cold water, which put all the heat in Cai Mao's heart down. Although he had become a mortal enemy, Cai Mao had to admit that Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue were among the few in Jingxiang.

Once these two people escape, with their influence in Jingzhou and the strength of the Kuai clan, and Liu Qi's identity, the storm that will be caused in the future will be amazing.

Cai Mao scolded Cai Xun for being incompetent, but also urgently called Huang Zu, Zhang Yun, Wang Can and others to discuss how to deal with it.

Hearing Wang Can's advice, Cai Mao recruited all the ministers to discuss matters at the provincial governor's office and announced on the spot that Liu Cong would succeed as General Zhennan and the governor of Jingzhou.

The Kuai brothers encountered each other and the threat of Cai Mao's force forced the ministers to accept this fact and jointly ruled Liu Cong.

Immediately, Cai Mao accused Liu Qi, Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, Huo Jun and others of the country that did not obey Liu Biao's orders, planned to usurp the throne, and even launched troops to cause chaos. In the name of Liu Cong's new position as the governor of Jingzhou, he informed the nine counties of Jingxiang to capture the "rebellion".

At the same time, Cai Mao also urgently ordered Huang Zu, Cai Xun and others to lift water, and the infantry went south to pursue Liu Qi, Kuai Liang and others, and ordered "Once you find it, kill me, don't worry!"

………………………………………………

Huo Jun led his army to escort Liu Qi, Kuai Liang and others all the way south to Yicheng. The Yicheng garrison was still unaware of the changes in Xiangyang. Although he was surprised by Liu Qi and his party's embarrassment, he still received his own diligent reception.

After a short rest, Kuai Liang forcibly requisitioned the Yicheng garrison as his own identity and continued to move south. Kuai Liang knew very well that the Cai family near Xiangyang had the most powerful force, and with Cai Mao's personality, it was impossible for him and his group to be let go easily.

Therefore, only by moving south as soon as possible can we ensure that there is no danger.

Under Zhuge Liang's suggestion, Kuai Liang urgently sent a quick horse to Nanjun, Zhangling, Changsha, Lingling, Guiyang, Wuling, and Jiangxia counties, and summoned the prefects of the counties to launch an army to attack on Cai Mao's crime of usurping the rebellion and treason.

At the same time, Zhuge Liang sent his entourage guards to contact Jinfan Camp to explore the whistle, hoping to pass the latest situation back to Shouchun and Danyang.

.

On the fourth day of the 12th month, Liu Qi, Kuai Liang and his group rushed to Jiangling, the capital of Nanjun. Liu Xian, the prefect of Nanjun, was a nephew of Liu Biao and had a close relationship with the Kuai brothers. Based on Nanjun, he planned to counterattack Xiangyang, the best choice in front of him.

Liu Xian had already received news from Kuai Liang and was extremely indignant of Cai Mao's rebellion and immediately expressed his willingness to regard Liu Qi as the new master.

On that day, Liu Qi took office as the governor of Jingzhou in Jiangling. At the same time, Kuai Liang personally drafted the proclamation, and Liu Qi, Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, Liu Xian and others jointly called on the officials and soldiers of Jingzhou, the gentry and the people of the gentry to fight against the rebel Cai Mao.

In order to narrow the attack and reduce obstacles, the manifesto stated that "If those who are accomplices can repent and abandon the darkness and turn to the light, they should not blame the past!"

…………………………………………

At noon on the fourth day of the December 12th, Gan Ning ordered people to send an emergency document.

"...It's worthy of being Kong Ming. It easily resolved the suspicion of the ministers of Jingzhou towards their lord..." Pang Tong handed the silk book in his hand to Jian Yong and said with a smile.

"Yeah..." I nodded, but my face was not as happy as Pang Tong. With Zhuge Liang's talent, he was polite to fight against the ministers in Jingzhou and clear his elder brother of the suspect of assassination of the mastermind. But what I was concerned about were two other things:

First, who assassinated Liu Biao? When the envoy I sent to Chaisang to pay his respects a few days ago was bombarded by someone, I already knew that my elder brother had become a "scapegoat".

But it was not until Zhuge Liang's handwritten letter was passed to Moling that I learned about the detailed process of Liu Biao's assassination. Such careful and meticulous arrangements are by no means possible for ordinary people.

What's more, the assassin was able to get involved in those orphans, which means that he was not a person outside Jiangdong, but he was more likely to be a remnant of the Sun family. But just these few remnants probably could not think of such a meticulous plan.

Zhuge Liang had two speculations——Cao Cao and the remaining ministers of the Sun family; Shangyong and Ma Chao and the other party colluded with the remaining ministers of the Sun family. Assassinating Liu Biao, shamanizing the eldest brother, and then triggering the war between Jingzhou and us. Both sides have full motives!

Secondly, what will the future trend of Jingzhou? From Zhuge Liang's letter, we can see that the current conflicts in the issue of succession in Jingzhou are even more intense than the original historical trajectory.

Zhuge Liang even boldly predicted that within half a month, a civil war would begin in Jingzhou. Once the war breaks out, who will achieve the final victory? The Kuai family, the Cai family, or Cao Cao, and how should our army deal with it? Watching the fire from the other side of the river? Flying in the water?
