The gate of Jiangling City has not been opened for three consecutive days.

In the past three days, the entire Jiangling City was overturned, and Liu Bei did not find Cai and Liu Cong. However, his soldiers found a tunnel that only one person could pass through in a large mansion, which led directly to the outside of the city.

Liu Bei immediately ordered someone to find the details of the owner of the mansion. It turned out that this person was a merchant from Nanyang, and the backer of Linjiang Country was the Pang family. Liu Bei snorted coldly: "I didn't expect that they were prepared for this sudden change."

But Liu Bei made a mistake. The person who actually rescued the Cai family and Liu Cong had nothing to do with the noble families in Jingzhou. He was Feng Yu, the leader of Liang State.

In fact, Liu Bei would not make any mistakes as long as he thought about it seriously. If the forces of the Cai clan were not careless and had the intention to deal with such things, how could it be as simple as leaving a tunnel? How could Liu Bei successfully seize Jiangling?

During these three days, Liu Bei did a few more things. The most important thing was to detain all the top figures of the aristocratic families in Jiangling City, and the second was to welcome Liu Qi from Jiangxia back to Jiangling.

Finally, in the name of Linjiang King Liu Qi, he ordered the officials and barracks of various places in Linjiang State to appoint and remove the imperial edict. The one who was in the brunt of the north camp outside the city, and the generals replaced them with Liu Bei's people overnight.

Because the Cai family forces in the camp have been eradicated, it is naturally very smooth to take over the Beida Camp. But the rest of the area is not so easy.

However, Liu Bei also attracted a group of middle and low-level officials and generals in various counties in the local counties and counties. At this time, they were all mobilized, and Liu Qi, the "orthodox" brand, finally took over most counties and barracks.

Of course, there are still a few counties and troops still under the control of Cai Kuaipang and other forces. When they heard the sudden change of Jiangling, they immediately connected with each other inside and outside, strengthened the city defense, rectified the military, and tried to compete with Liu Bei in Linjiang.

However, Liu Bei didn't care much about this. Although there were seven or eight of these forces, they were unable to connect. With Liu Bei's powerful soldiers and generals, they were defeated and eliminated one by one.

...

There is a "official road" covered in the wilderness of Jingxiang Plain, but it is still vaguely visible. A carriage carrying a pair of horses is driving fast on the road, and the carriage is surrounded by seven galloping horses. It looks like a family member of an official or a wealthy businessman on the way.

In fact, Cai and her son Liu Cong were sitting in the carriage. Until now, Cai still doesn't know who saved her.

At that time, shortly after they hid in the mansion beside the city wall, it was dawn and Liu Bei's soldiers began to search door to door. Then they got out of the city from a tunnel that had been dug long ago.

The first thing Cai did after leaving the city was to ask the other party to escort them to Beidaying and promise that she would quell the rebellion and would definitely give her a high salary to the "benefactor" high-ranking official.

Unexpectedly, the other party smiled indifferently and said, "As far as we know, Zhang Yun from Beidaying has been killed by Liu Bei, and even the generals who were installed by the people of the Kuai Family and Pang Family in Beidaying were removed by Liu Bei. Isn't you going to Beidaying now and fall into the trap?"

After hearing this, Cai looked as if she was ashamed. She knew Liu Bei's power. When Liu Biao agreed to accept Liu Bei, she was worried that she could not control Liu Bei, so she strongly opposed it. But she never expected that Liu Bei could have such a means.

A foreign general who has been to Jingzhou for only two years can make the aristocratic family that has been in Jingzhou for decades like a betrayal dog. No one will believe anyone who can tell them.

...

Cai, who was bumping on the carriage, saw the direction was wrong and shouted anxiously: "Stop! Stop!" The coachman yelled and stopped the carriage. Cai poked his head out and shouted in a sweet voice: "Didn't you say you want to go to Yicheng? Yicheng is in the north, why is it going west now?"

The other party held the reins of the horse for the man, turned around and came to the carriage, and said to Cai: "It is reported that Yicheng has been captured by Liu Bei's soldiers from Fancheng. So we cannot go to Yicheng again."

Yicheng is the Cai family and one of the foundations of several other great families. So after the Cai family learned that it was impossible to gain a foothold in Jiangling, Yicheng became her next destination.

At this time, Cai pulled Liu Cong and jumped out of the carriage. She sat on the ground like a shrew, crying:

"I don't believe it. This Yicheng is a place where several powerful families live together. There are heavy troops in daily life. How could it be occupied by Liu Bei? Until now, I still don't know your details. If I don't explain these clearly, why should I believe you? I will die here and not leave!"

The other party sighed and said, "Queen, oh...no, now you should call Mrs. Your Madam."

"Madam, Liu Qi has now ascended the throne of Linjiang Kingdom. They used the king's order to open the Yicheng gate a day ago. The elite soldiers of Liu Bei from Fancheng and some county soldiers from Nanjun took the opportunity to occupy Yicheng. Not only Yicheng, but most of the counties in Linjiang are now actually controlled by Liu Bei. As for us..."

The man hesitated for a while and continued, "We are from the Liang King of Liang. We have seen something unusual in Linjiang before. I guess Linjiang may undergo a sudden change. This is Linjiang's internal affairs and we did not intend to interfere. But a few days ago, our king suddenly ordered us to wait and do our best to save our family if they encounter danger in Linjiang royal family members."

Cai murmured to himself: "It turns out to be King Liang..." She had guessed the other party's identity. Cao Cao, Sun Ce, and even the people from the court, had thought about it, but she had never thought about the other party being King Liang. Because everyone in the world knew that King Liang had devoted his energy to external battles for a year or two.

Suddenly, Cai thought of something that could not be explained. She questioned: "So, are you going to take me to Liang State now? But to Liang State, the nearest journey should be north, and you can reach Xiangyang of Liang State more than a hundred miles away. But now we are heading west, do you have to travel hundreds of miles to enter Liang State from the Bashu Gorges River?"

The man opposite said seriously: "Madam doesn't know. Now Liu Qi wants you everywhere in Linjiang for the crime of pretending to be the last order of King Linjiang. Every important place leading to the outside of Linjiang is full of open and secret sentries, and it is strictly investigated. To go to Xiangyang, you must pass through Yicheng and Fancheng, and there must be a throat passage, and the other party must have been waiting for us. So we can only go to Yiling..."

Cai interrupted the other party and said furiously: "They are nonsense! The suicide note of the previous king was written by the previous king, right here..." Cai suddenly remembered that he could not reveal it to the outside world, so he stopped his words and asked, "This Yiling is even more dangerous than Yicheng. If we can't even get through Yicheng, how can we pass Yiling?"

The other party smiled slightly and said, "Madam, don't worry, please listen to someone finish your words. Yiling has not been controlled by Liu Bei. The prefect of Yiling Kuai Yue has not yet surrendered to Liu Bei, so we can naturally pass from here."

When Cai heard this, his eyes lit up.
