Rebirth of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

If Cai Hao is secretly informed by the old soldier and the whereabouts of the corpses burned in the Luanshigang Cemetery are leaked, Liu Zhong and his party will die without a burial place, and Liu Qi will also be destroyed. Cai Hao may even be provoked to provoke Liu Biao and trigger an armed mutiny.

, the success or failure of this happened in a flash of lightning. Liu Zhong, who has always been politically astute, had a premonition of the seriousness of the situation.

There is no need to think too much. For the sake of Young Master Liu Qi, Liu Zhong is willing to kill no matter how many people he wants. He didn't want to hurt the old soldier who was doing his duty at the city gate, but the old soldier was stubborn and wanted to block the Young Master's way, seeking his own death.

That’s all.

Liu Zhong's fierce light finally appeared, and with a wave of his long sword, he ordered Chen Wu, who was holding the sword and furious: "Chen Wu, Chen Chun, kill and release the suspension bridge."

Chen Wu responded, drew his bow and arrow without hesitation, and then rode forward to pursue the old soldier who wanted to report secretly. He bent his bow and arrow on the horse's back. He heard a whooshing sound, and a bamboo arrow with a sharp iron arrowhead penetrated directly into the old soldier.

The soldier's throat was shot, and then he shot another arrow and flew towards the stunned old soldier guarding the city who ordered him to inform. The two old soldiers died without even having time to shout for help. To the day they died, they couldn't believe that their lord Liu Biao, who was guarding the city, was killed.

The tragic ending of being shot dead by Liu Biao's men.

When Chen Chun saw Chen Wu drawing his sword, he jumped onto the tower and quickly lowered the drawbridge.

Liu Zhong glared at the soldiers at the city gate, not wanting to kill in vain. Fortunately, the two soldiers were quite smart and pushed open the city gate cautiously without Liu Zhong having to stop.

I saw with my own eyes that Chen Wu used his horse to kill an old soldier at the city gate. He immediately showed his murderous intention at the slightest disagreement. He was so frightened that the legs and stomachs of the two soldiers guarding the city gate were shaking and they could not stand still. At this time, they were as helpless as the two old soldiers.

If you know the current affairs, your life may be at risk.

Just when Liu Zhong opened the city gate, fortunately it was already dark and there were no pedestrians near the city gate. Except for the two pawns guarding the city gate and the old pawn who stayed behind to guard the open suspension bridge of the city tower who had been shot by Chen Wu, there was no one else.

There were other sergeants, but no one saw their whereabouts.

Perhaps it was not the time of garrison and the soldiers guarding the city gate at night had not yet taken over; perhaps the alert Cai Hao thought that there was an elite guard who had been camped outside the city all year round. He arranged several guards to open and close the city gate and hoist the suspension bridge.

Just kill him. However, Cai Mao never expected that someone would dare to kill the city gate guards to rebel. That would be a capital crime that would lead to the execution of all the nine clans and beheading them to death.

The suspension bridge was leveled and the city gate was opened. Liu Zhong quickly waved his horse and approached the city gate and asked the soldiers: "Can you see it?"

"Look, look, I saw it." A younger guard was trembling and speechless.

"Huh huh..." Liu Zhong snorted and tried to unsheath his sword. The pawn who was so frightened that he couldn't speak clearly turned pale.

"Steward, calm down, you guys didn't see anything." A slightly older guard replied quickly when he saw that the situation was not going well.

"Well, that's very good." Liu Zhong nodded, pointed at the more mature guard and asked with a stern face: "When will you patrol the city?"

"The first watch patrols the city, every patrol."

"Do you have a password?"

"Weak ribs." The guard hesitated for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at the murderous Liu Zhong and his men. The command for guarding the city is a secret in the army. If it is leaked, it will be a death penalty. Those who have no choice but to understand the current affairs are heroes, and the guard will tell the truth.

tell.

"I'm sorry." After the guard replied, Liu Zhong swung his sword twice. Before the guard at the city gate could understand what was going on, his soul passed away to the west. When the sword touched his heart, the more mature soldier did not understand the city until his death.

The door has been opened, and everyone has told the truth, why are they still unable to escape death?

Liu Zhong despised the rebellious soldiers the most. Relatively speaking, the old soldier at the city head was respectable for his dedication to his duty. In fact, the old soldier could let Liu Zhong out of the city first. After all, Liu Zhong was a close official of Liu Biao. The old soldier did not dare to let him go. It was a matter of sentiment.

However, if he quickly sued Cai Mao to make up for his mistakes, he might still have a way to survive. If the old soldier hadn't been stupid, he wouldn't have died an unexpected death.

The soldiers guarding the city gate were bound to die regardless of whether they could open the city gate or not, rebel or not, or tell them the password. In order to prevent the burning of the corpse and leaving the city from being leaked, it was impossible for Liu Zhong to survive.

This was the case in the Three Kingdoms era. The fate of many small people was not in their own hands, but was more controlled by the fate of the big people. As the old saying goes, life and death depend on fate, and wealth lies in the sky. For these small people whose lives are like mosquitoes, it is

Unreliable.

The old and young soldiers guarding the city gate were dead, so the carriage carrying the maid's body and the materials for burning the corpse could leave the city without any hindrance. However, since Liu Zhong dared to kill the city guard in a desperate situation, he must have a countermeasure.

I saw Liu Zhong looking up at the sky. It was the end of the seventh lunar month. The sky was covered with clouds and there were no stars or moon. The entire Xiangyang city was shrouded in a huge night. Although no one noticed the rush to kill the guards and left the city, it was probably impossible to hide it.

how long.

Although the night temporarily concealed Liu Zhong's killing of the soldiers, it would make it easier for people to notice the flames when the corpse was burned, which would inevitably lead to a group of 500 soldiers stationed outside the city by Cai Mao all year round to surround him.

Such a night barrier fully reflects the duality of everything. Every gain must have a loss, and every advantage must have its disadvantages. This is why people in the world are often troubled by weighing the pros and cons and worrying about gains and losses.

"Chen Xia, Chen Qiu." Liu Zhong turned around and called the general. Now that the gate guard was dead, it was urgent to clear the scene quickly.

"Yes, yes." Chen Xia and Chen Qiu responded in a low voice. The two guards did not feel any horror when Liu Zhong stabbed the guard with his sword just now, and it was just as normal as eating home-cooked food.

"You two quickly drag the old soldiers from the city gate into the carriage. Don't leave any blood stains on the city tower." Liu Zhong ordered Chen Xia and Chen Qiu, and then called Chen Dong to cooperate with him in dragging the two pawns guarding the city gate into the carriage to carry the maid's body.

carriage and disposed of the blood stains of the corpses on the ground.

In just a moment, the corpses of the four old and young city guards were loaded onto the carriage. Liu Zhong's face was gloomy. At this point, he could only do one thing without stopping. He learned from the practice of the young master Liu Qi, who burned the corpses to eliminate traces, even the city guards.

He also disappeared completely and was cremated with his four maids.

"Chen Wu, Chen Chun, and Chen Dong escort the carriage and follow me out of the city." Liu Zhong began to make arrangements, and then ordered Chen Xia and Chen Qiu: "As soon as we cross the moat, you two will quickly pull up the suspension bridge and close the city gate.

Go back home quickly and quietly to tell the young master to be more careful tonight, so as not to be discovered, and to be on guard all night to ensure that the young master is fine."

"As ordered, I will serve you with my life." Chen Xia and Chen Qiu responded and split up. Chen Xia, who had already carried the old soldiers from the city tower into the corpse carriage, ran up to the lifting area of ​​the city tower again. Chen Qiu ran directly to the city gate. The two of them

He watched calmly as Liu Zhong, Chen Wu, Chen Chun and Chen Dong hurriedly left the city.

When the last carriage carrying sulfur, firewood and several cans of flammable grease for lighting passed by, Chen Xia quickly pulled up the suspension bridge that usually required the cooperation of two veterans.

It took a lot of effort to close the tall and heavy city gate.

Chen Qiu took the horse and snapped his fingers towards Chen Xia. He saw Chen Xia flying from the city tower and jumping straight onto the horse's back. They rode back home with Chen Qiu and disappeared into the boundless night. There were only four defenders at the city gate.

The soldiers are missing, the drawbridge is still hanging, and the city gate is still closed. There is no one guarding the city gate, and there is no sign that anyone has entered or exited the city gate.

Chen Xia and Chen Qiu went around several streets separately and rushed to Liu Qi's mansion. They saw Chen Wen and ten guards standing guard outside the mansion gate. When they saw Chen Xia and Chen Qiu, they rushed back.

Feeling bad, Chen Wen was shocked and said: "Brothers Xia and Qiu, didn't you two escort the housekeeper out of the city? Why are you back again?"

Chen Xia dismounted and said: "Brother Wen, when we were leaving the city, we encountered four soldiers who were guarding the city. We will kill them all. The steward has gone out with Chen Wu. Chen Dong has left the city and ordered my brother to come and inform the young master quickly. I wonder if the young master is sleeping.

Huh?

"The matter is urgent. Brother Xia, go and report it quickly. Brother Qiu will stay and talk to me in detail to see if there is any good plan to help the young master." Chen Wen was also anxious, guessing that the housekeeper killed the defenders assigned by Cai Hao when he left the city gate.

, leaving the city to burn corpses may not be smooth sailing. Cai Mao's five hundred soldiers who have been stationed outside the city all year round are not for a living.

"Yes, Brother Wen." Chen Xia dismounted, fell into the stirrup, and stumbled towards Liu Qi's dormitory. Chen Dong stayed behind to accompany Chen Wen and explain in detail what happened at the city gate just now.

Chen Xia called out "Huan'er" loudly to the bedroom next to Liu Qi, and ran quickly to the door of the living room outside the bedroom. He suddenly stopped, straightened his appearance, and respectfully informed: "Master, Chen Xia has something urgent to report."

"Come in." Liu Qi, who had taken the herbal medicine prepared by Hua Tuo's secret recipe and was lying a little drowsily on the wooden bed, suddenly woke up. At this time, Chen Xia came to report that something must be up to him. What he was worried about about the housekeeper's corpse burning might be revealed.

After all, it was the first major event that Liu Qi did after traveling through the Three Kingdoms, which was related to the fate of all the masters and servants in the prince's house, and there could not be any mistakes in this major event.

Liu Qi didn't bother to put on his shoes, got out of bed, and started walking. He seemed to remember something, then came back and calmly put on his shoes and tidied up his clothes. It was a joke. I thought I was also a special forces soldier during my lifetime, and was awarded the award by the Chairman of China.

Why is a national first-class hero so careless in the Three Kingdoms? So devoid of any generosity? How can someone who easily gets angry easily achieve great things!

Returning to the reception room, Chen Xia was already standing respectfully at the door. The little girl Huan'er had already held the lamp and was standing next to her. Liu Qi was surprisingly calm and waved to Huan'er with her hand. Huan'er recognized her and left the dormitory.

"Sit." After Liu Qi knelt down and sat down, he pointed his finger at the table in front of him. Chen Xia also knelt down respectfully opposite Liu Qi.

"Thank you, Young Master." Chen Xia lowered his head and looked at Liu Qi. In the past, the housekeeper had direct contact with Liu Qi. This was the first time he was face to face with the Young Master at such a close distance. He saw the Young Master Liu Qi in front of him with sharp eyes and a sense of majesty in his intimacy.

He changed his mental state of being sick and doing nothing in the past. He sat upright, not angry and proud, and had a kingly bearing.

"This is the young master that my brothers and I want to assist. No wonder the housekeeper often says that the young master is not a thing in the pool. He strictly teaches us to practice harder every day. When the young master becomes more powerful, it will be the time for us to make contributions and achieve fame."

Chen Xia's heart started to boil with such thoughts, and she even forgot to report the matter to Liu Qi for a moment.

Seeing Chen Xia's complicated expression, Liu Qi sat quietly with him for a while. After Chen Xia stabilized his mind, he asked the housekeeper how he went about burning the corpse. Then Chen Xia told him in detail, not even the details of wiping the bloodstains of the soldiers.

Missed.

Because the situation was urgent, Chen Xia spoke very hastily, but Liu Qi probably understood what he heard. He quite appreciated Liu Zhong's adaptability and decisiveness in killing. He could already feel from Chen Xia's words that the guards around his uncle Liu Zhong were definitely not

Mediocre people.

Liu Qi was secretly happy. He was happy that with these twenty loyal and brave men in the government, he would not be fighting alone when he came to the Three Kingdoms. With a small armed force, a spark could start a prairie fire. His cousin Liu Zhong was really far-sighted.

After working hard for Liu Qi and having a small army, this can be considered a kind of luck for Liu Qi to travel to the Three Kingdoms.

However, despite being happy, Liu Qi still felt that the burning of corpses and the killing of soldiers at the city gate were getting more and more difficult, and the schedule for guarding the city gate suddenly changed. There must be a reason for this. After all, it was Liu Biao's temporary decision to prevent Nanyang clan thieves.

It is unknown whether the military order was issued by Cai Mao out of caution or for other purposes.

The Military Book says: Know yourself and the enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger. Liu Qi lamented that the information between the enemy and ourselves is still unclear. It seems that spies are the key to winning battles in ancient and modern times. In the future, if possible, send a few spies to infiltrate the houses of Liu Biao and Cai Hao.

It is still very necessary.

The information was not working and the situation was unclear, so it was difficult to act rashly. Liu Qi was thinking with a frown on how to deal with Liu Zhong killing his soldiers and burning their corpses, when Huan'er's happy female voice came from outside the house: "Master, please see me."
