Three Kingdoms

A fortress in Jiangling.

"I recognize you!" Crested Zhang San! "Above the Wubao, someone pointed at the masked thieves who were leading the team below and shouted, "The son and the mother travel the world with two swords, and their heroic spirit helps others! I recognize your features! That’s you! 』

"How can it be? ” There was a loud uproar among the people.

Everyone knows that during this time, a heroic hero came to the area. He helped the widowed and lonely, was generous, and regarded money as dirt. Many people went to visit him, and some even sat down and drank with Zhang San. !

Then in the blink of an eye, the heroic hero turned into a masked robber...

"Zhang San!" How can such behavior be worthy of us! How can one be called loyal? Zhang San, do you still have the face? 』

There was a sound of indignation above Wubao.

Zhang San pulled off his mask, and his originally thick eyebrows and big eyes now trembled, revealing a bit of ferocity, "What is loyalty, justice, benevolence and filial piety?" What is right and wrong? They are all people with red lips and white teeth farting! A bunch of trash! You are cowardly, so I want someone to take revenge on your behalf! If you are greedy for money, ask someone to be generous with your money! Although you have human form, you are really beasts! Those who pick up the ashes, those who climb the wall! But he pretends to be loyal and good! Appropriate other people's property, seize other people's flesh and blood! Everyone's mouth was full of blood, and they had bad breath on someone's face! Today is the time for you beasts to show up! Attack it! 』

The people on top of Wubao sneered, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the thieves can't get up...the thieves don't have siege equipment..."

Before the people on the Wubao had finished speaking, they saw a rush car being pushed out of the queue below!

The expressions of everyone on Wubao suddenly changed!

"boom! 』

The ram that was originally used to deal with the heavy city gates rammed into the ordinary Wubao gate. It was like killing a chicken with a knife. It broke open the Wubao gate with almost no effort.

Immediately, Zhang San led his men, shouted wildly, and swept in.

Not long after, billowing black smoke rose from the fort.

At this moment, I don’t know how much black smoke is rising from this land...

In Jiangling, Jingxiang, people shouted, and the people fleeing from man-made disasters were like ants on a hot pot, running around.

Who would have thought that Jiangling, which had just been calmed down for a long time, would cause another military and man-made disaster!

Yun Mengze's thieves used the banner of Liu Biao's transgression and slaughtered the local area, claiming that they were the emperor's disciples, General Hu Roar, and wanted to carry out the action of the Qing emperor to eliminate the traitorous ministers.

For a time, Jingxiang was up and down, and Jiangling was nearby. Even if they were in the middle, I am afraid that no one would be able to grasp the whole thing.

Although Yun Mengze is just a thief, he is extremely fierce. Normally, when an ordinary ranger fights alone, there are endless methods such as throwing dirt and lime, which are difficult to guard against, but if they are really in a battle formation, these methods will not be used at all!

During the confrontation, mountains of swords and spears were piercing through, and the only method was to grit one's teeth and fight for one's life. How could there be any free time to find some small tricks that could not be put on the table?

So most of the time, the ranger can win alone, but once he forms a formation, the ranger will not get any advantage. After all, the ranger is just a ranger. If he can kill a thousand with one ride, he no longer needs to be a ranger...

But the problem is that when Jiangling local county soldiers thought that Yunmengze was just a mob, they suddenly suffered a big loss. The county lieutenant who went out to fight in the city died in front of the battle. Huarong, who was close to Yunmengze, was first attacked, and then Chaos swept through the surrounding area, approaching the important town of Jiangling!

Zhuanghe, which originally grew in the fields, was burned to the ground, and the flames roared. What could not be snatched, what could not be obtained, was smashed, burned, and destroyed!

Anyway, if I can’t get it, no one else can get it either!

Countless black smoke is rising, and countless people are crying!

Lei Bo stood on the hill, with the banner of General Tiger Roar waving beside him. "When will Liu Jingsheng send troops?" 』

The young man came out from behind Lei Bo and sneered, "Send troops?" Just go to the funeral... If you don't send troops, you will die, if you send troops, you will die..."

Lei Bo glanced sideways at the young man, "Someone doesn't care about Liu Jingsheng's life or death...Someone only wants Jiangling!" 』

The young man laughed, "Of course, this is natural... General, don't worry, don't worry..."

……o（*≧▽≦）ツ……

Ping family. South of Wuyang.

There are two mountains, one is Tongbai Mountain and the other is Tongbai Mountain. There is Huai River in it. According to legend, Dayu went to Tongbai three times to control floods.

"..." Cao Hong raised his head and looked at the mountains, which were higher than the previous ones, and the main peak of Tongbai Mountain at the highest point. He smacked his lips, turned around and walked down, "Go back to camp!" 』

"General, aren't you going up?" ” Guard Cao Hong asked.

Cao Hong shook his head, looked around for a long time, then turned around and said, "Looking so close here makes me really want to start walking... Haha, let's do it next time!" How can we do everything we want when our human resources are finally exhausted? gone! 』

In the camp, he felt a little bored after staying for a long time. Cao Hong went out to hunt to relax his mind.

Then while hunting, Cao Hong wanted to go up the mountain to have a look for some reason, but when he climbed to the top of a mountain, he saw there was another mountain behind the mountain.

Climb again?

The nameless fire that originally hovered in my heart has disappeared...

There were only a few embers left, burning a little bit.

When I was young, I thought about going up the mountain, one mountain and then another. But when I reach middle age, I have to think about the way down. Otherwise, I will be like Liu Biao, stuck on the bare Taibai top. Going up, there is nothingness and nothing. How to get up the ladder to heaven? Are you going down? It took a lot of effort to come up. How could you be willing to go down like this with nothing?

First delay, second delay, wait until the innocence turns dark, then think about it again...

hehe.

Liu Biao didn't have a chance.

When Cao Gong was trying to lure Fei Qian into trouble, he tried to contact Liu Biao in order to establish a closer relationship, at least closer than the so-called alliance.

Liu Biao has a son, and Cao Gong has a daughter. Isn't this obvious? Divorce the Cai family and marry the Cao family. As long as Cao Gong is in his position, Liu Cong can be protected from falling for at least two thousand dan in his lifetime!

But Liu Biao delayed, neither saying yes nor saying no.

Times have changed, and Dangduan has continued to suffer from the chaos. Now it is better. Even if Liu Cong licks his face, no one wants it.

"Jingzhou...Liu family...Cai family..." Cao Hong laughed in a low voice, "Haha, do you really think that Jingzhou only has these two surnames..."

"General?" What did you say? ” asked the guard beside Cao Hong, not hearing clearly.

"It's nothing... You take the two of you and bring the prey back first. This... well, I still have this to keep, and the rest will be divided among the sons!" ” Cao Hong pointed to a hare and a goat and said.

On weekdays, it's lively, but when the time comes, it's just a plate of beans!

The weak eats the strong, which in itself means that there is no distinction between good and evil, good and evil.

Just like Cao Hong and his party carried weapons, bows and arrows, the animals and birds in the mountains naturally became Cao Hong's prey. If it were the other way around, Cao Hong and his party were bare-handed, scarred and exhausted, and they would become the food of the tigers and leopards in the mountains.

Only people are allowed to eat tigers, but tigers are not allowed to eat people?

Between heaven and earth, is there such a truth? What's more, it doesn't matter who is a human or a tiger, or is it neither human nor tiger, just a ghost?

There is a saying that the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind it, but who is behind the oriole?

Cao Hong couldn't help but look back.

On Tongbai Mountain, the grass is swaying in the wind, and the rocks stand steeply, like an ancient giant, looking at each other coldly with Cao Hong.

"Hmph..." Cao Hong shook his head, "We'll see..."

……\u003c（￣﹌￣）\u003e……

Chang'an.

Hussar General's Mansion.

The sun has set, and the hustle and bustle of the world seems to have come to an end, but some things are gradually getting thicker like the floating night.

In the meeting hall, Fei Qian and Pang Tong were sitting.

Two bronze figures resembling palace maids hold the lamp holder in their left hand and hold the lampshade in their right hand. They are placed on the left and right. The bright firelight in the lampshade was projected forward, and the entire meeting hall illuminated by the other two rows of candles was clear and translucent.

"Liu Jingsheng..." Pang Tong muttered, "I always feel that there is something ominous..."

Fei Qian tapped the table gently with his hand and said for a while, "What do you say?" 』

"Liu Jingsheng is old. This is an indisputable fact..." Pang Tong said.

Fei Qian nodded. He tapped his fingers on the table, click, click.

Pang Tong continued: "When Liu Jingsheng entered Jingzhou, he followed the path of Guangwu from the outside in... Or, in other words, the way of Guangwu... Guangwu, tsk tsk, is that a good move? Of course strong means strong, but, hum, haha... 』

Fei Qian laughed and said, "Not only Liu Jingsheng, but also Yuan Benchu ​​also likes to take this path..."

"So...this is the second flaw..." After saying that, Pang Tong raised a third finger, "Third, Liu Jingsheng's son..."

Pang Tong clicked his tongue twice and retracted the three extended fingers, "There is chaos in Jiangling. If Liu Jingsheng does not send troops to quell the town, the place will be ruined and his reputation will be greatly damaged. It will be difficult to convince the public... If Liu Jingsheng sends troops to quell the rebellion. , then Xiangyang is empty again, there is no guarantee that even Xiangyang will change! This matter is most likely caused by the Cai family. When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured..."

In the central court of the Han Dynasty, the imperial power and relatives loved and killed each other, and the same was true among local authorities. Liu Biao and Cai Mao in Jingzhou are similar to the local emperor and his general.

This has almost become a "fine tradition" in the Han Dynasty, a "convention" for the transfer of power. This problem was brought from the mother's womb in the Han Dynasty. It is a congenital disease and is difficult to cure.

"An old illness..." Fei Qian knocked on the table, "So, Liu Jingsheng doesn't want to wait to die, and has a prescription ready?" It’s just that this recipe is a bit fierce..."

Pang Tong nodded and said, "It must be so!" After a long illness, the yin and yang are deficient, and if you suddenly take the medicine of tiger and wolf, you may be cured, but you will still be half disabled! However, this is also a helpless move... If you don't do it now, I'm afraid you won't even be able to carry the bowl of soup in the future..."

Fei Qian hummed, and then said: "I thought... forget it, so Liu Jingsheng fell into the trap instead?" 』

Historically, Liu Biao was slowly boiled by Cai's warm water, and he didn't jump much until he died. But now it seems that Cai's fire was turned up a bit, and then Liu Biao was stimulated to jump up, but he didn't know. Will it knock over the pot, or just spill some soup.

But no matter what, this time, the two sides completely turned against each other, as if the emperor and his relative finally had sex. Either the general, his relative, had his house confiscated and the nine clans were destroyed, or the emperor's head fell off...

Pang Tong shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. Liu Jingsheng has been in business for many years, so he must have a back-up plan... Yun Mengze, it's just like an introduction. As for the rest, it depends on each company's methods..."

Fei Qian was still tapping the table gently, but suddenly stopped, "Speaking of means, well, there is something...Cao Sikong swore an oath in Yecheng...Those soldiers, Shi Yuan, do you think...should be there..." where? 』

Pang Tong's eyebrows jumped!

...(O_O)! …

"Dang!" 』

A long sword was drawn out by Liu Biao. The long sword was obviously not extraordinary. The layers of patterns on the sword seemed to be shining with a sharp cold light.

"Cong'er, what do you think of this sword?" Liu Biao turned the sword gently and slowly. Under the swaying of light and shadow, the patterns on the long sword are dotted with stars, piercing the eyes.

Liu Cong didn't understand what Liu Biao meant, "Well... of course it's a good sword..."

"... Carrying a long sword and holding the Qin bow, the head and body are separated and the heart is not punished... Do you know why gentlemen often use swords?" Liu Biao looked at Liu Cong through the top of his sword.

Liu Cong hesitated for a long time, and finally handed over his hands and said, "Please give me some advice, Father." 』

"Cough cough cough... cough cough..."

Liu Biao seemed to want to say something, but a sudden cough interrupted Liu Biao's words, and even made Liu Biao's originally stretched figure become more rickety. His whole body was like a fish thrown onto the shore, convulsing and struggling. With.

Liu Cong subconsciously wanted to go up and help, but saw Liu Biao's long sword blocking the front. He hesitated and did not move.

After a while, Liu Biao gasped as if he was about to cough up his lungs, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and then straightened his body bit by bit.

"Father..." Liu Cong leaned forward, "Father...are you okay?" 』

"Haha..." Liu Biao looked at Liu Cong and grinned, "It's okay. 』

The lights flickered.

Liu Biao gasped, placed the long sword on his knees, and gently stroked the sword's spine with his hand. After his breath stabilized again, he said, "The sword has double edges, so you need to be careful. If you are not careful, you will hurt others and yourself." ...』

Liu Cong nodded.

"Understood? Liu Biao asked.

Liu Cong continued to nod, "I understand." 』

Liu Biao stared at Liu Cong closely, "What do you understand?" 』

"Um? Liu Cong was stunned for a moment, "Sword, sword has double edges." 』

It seemed like a gust of wind blew by, the lights swayed, and Liu Biao's body shook, but in the blink of an eye, it was as if nothing had happened.

Liu Biao looked at Liu Cong, looking at the similar shape to Liu Cong when he was young, and finally sighed, "Forget it...this sword is Cai's..."

"Cai?" ”Liu Cong seemed to understand but not understand.

"If you use it well, you will kill the enemy; if you use it improperly, you will hurt yourself." "Liu Biao flicked the sword spine and made a buzzing sound, "Now this sword is going to drink blood... Cai's followers, one is Hussar and the other is Sikong! Now that the Hussars are busy with disaster relief and have no intention of going south, the Cao family is seeking stability and being trapped in Jizhou is a good opportunity to eliminate the Cai family! 』

"The Cai family used the Yunmeng thief as bait in an attempt to mobilize Xiangyang's soldiers, so that they could take advantage of the situation and take away our lives and change Jingzhou's surname to the Cai family!" Ha ha ha ha! Liu Biao laughed, the pink on his face fell, "How can I get what I want?" ! Someone has ordered that the traitor in Yunmengze is the Cai family, and ordered Gan Xingba to lead troops to encircle and suppress Caizhou! It can be overcome in a moment! After this, this serious problem can be eliminated! 』

Liu Biao had endured it for a long time in the past few years, and finally felt that his stubborn illness could be eliminated, and he was naturally in a very good mood.

"That's it, but do you understand? ! ” Liu Biao’s eyes were blazing, as if his youthful days had returned to him.

"My child... I understand..." Liu Cong murmured.

Liu Biao was silent for a moment, but shook his head, "You don't understand... You always say you understand, but in fact you don't understand..."

Liu Cong was stunned.

Liu Biao sighed and said: "My relatives are my relatives. If the master is strong, no matter how prosperous the branches are, it will not matter!" And now..." Liu Biao looked at Liu Cong with a complicated expression, "If you hadn't turned a deaf ear to my father's words many times... why would a father do such a thing? 』

"My child..." Liu Cong fell to his knees with a cry, "My child... How dare you..."

"You don't dare to do anything in front of me... As soon as you leave this door, you dare to do anything..." Liu Biao said with a bitter smile, "My son, you and I are the closest to each other, but you are pretending in front of me. Then I gave my sincerity to others... You said what I told you not to say, and you did what I told you not to do... Sometimes I wonder whether your surname is Liu... or Cai! 』

Liu Cong lay on the ground, trembling all over and sweating profusely. "My child, my child... is unfilial..."

"I thought that when you grow up, you will gradually understand...but...as a father, I don't have much time left...If you can be stronger, I don't mean that you can go into battle to kill the enemy, at least you can understand It's a pity..." Liu Biao said quietly, "If you could show a little ability to control Cai's family, you wouldn't have reached this stage as a father... I'm worried as a father. If you stay, I am afraid that if you close your eyes for the sake of your father, you will be the one who dies in the back! 』

Liu Cong raised his head in shock.

"how? Still not convinced? Liu Biao said with a smile, but his smile was mixed with extremely complicated emotions, "I either ask you to do this, or I ask you to do that. I will scold you at least, and punish you at most, so you feel that being a father is not good for you... right? And Mrs. Cai is respectful and kind to you, greets you with a smile every day, speaks like a master, and always responds to your requests, so Mrs. Cai is treating you well, right? But why don't you think about it, what virtues and abilities do you have that can make Mr. Cai bow down and crawl under your feet willingly? 』

"Do you have extraordinary intelligence?" Can you strategize and win a thousand miles? 』

"Do you have unparalleled martial courage?" Can you win the decisive battle on the battlefield and fight in the yellow sand? 』

"Yes, you are the son of Jingzhou Mu, the second noble son... But what if..." Liu Biao stared at Liu Cong, "If I die, how capable are you of being able to defend this Jingzhou Mu?" ! 』

"My child... my child..." Sweat rolled off Liu Cong's head and body.

"Dang!" 』

The long sword fell in front of Liu Cong, and the cold light immediately stung Liu Cong's eyes.

"Take this sword and go to the inner courtyard to behead the Cai family!" Liu Biao said in a deep voice, "If there is no blood on the sword, how can it be sharpened?" 』
