Three Kingdoms

Since serious health problems occurred, Liu Biao almost never went to the city wall to watch the battle. Although Liu Biao did his best in his own mansion, there were some differences between him and a leader who went to the front line to fight in person.

When Cao Jun and the Cai family joined hands to sneak into the city and seize the south gate of Xiangyang, Liu Biao was sitting in the front yard of the mansion. When the first shout came faintly, before anyone else could hear clearly what was happening, Liu Biao suddenly straightened his neck and looked towards the south...

In an instant, chaotic sounds of shouting and fighting erupted in the south like thunder, reaching into the sky. The shouts and shouts swept through the whole city from south to north in the blink of an eye. Inside and outside the city, they were mixed together, with overwhelming murderous intent, shaking the entire Xiangyang City, impacting everyone inside. People's minds are shaken and fear spreads, which means death.

"Xiangyang has been destroyed!" Xiangyang has been destroyed! Only kill Liu Biao, and those who surrender will be spared death! 』

The frantic shouts of death and exclamations outside became even louder. The whole city, the neighbors, and the surrounding deep mansions and courtyards seemed to be in commotion because of this.

Liu Biao's face was very pink, so he couldn't see any changes in his expression. He just swayed slightly for a few times, then stood still and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, please don't panic!" It's just Xiao Xiao's mischief! Order Pang Zhizhong to temporarily take over the military post and strictly guard the north gate! Order Wen Zhongye to quickly lead troops to quell the chaos in the city! 』

After Liu Biao finished shouting, his breath was inevitably short for a moment, and after a few sharp breaths, he continued to order: "Get a certain weapon!" Close the front and back doors! Soldiers go up to the turret! If any thieves come near, they will be killed without mercy! 』

On the long street of Xiangyang, there was already a mess, with cries and cries. In the streets and alleys, there were helpless people running around. There were also some scattered Jingzhou soldiers, holding weapons, but Like a headless fly, being pulled around by the flow of people, not knowing which direction to go.

In Xiangyang City, some fires have started to rise. In any troubled times, there are always some people who can't help but think about themselves regardless of the situation. They will take advantage of the chaos and rob it, becoming a beautiful scenery.

Liu Biao stood on the high platform, raised his sword and shouted, "This is Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou!" Cao Cao's thieves were greedy and immoral, and they invaded and plundered Jingzhou! As a loyal Jingzhou fellow countryman, please don’t be deceived by me! Let’s defend our homeland from foreign enemies! 』

The guards standing near the Jingzhou Mufu Yamen also shouted: "Let's defend our homeland from foreign enemies together!" Let’s defend our homeland from foreign enemies! 』

In the midst of the panic, Liu Biao's voice could be heard, which naturally had some effect. Many scattered Jingzhou soldiers also found their way and moved closer to Liu Biao.

Amidst the billowing black smoke, Liu Biao held his sword high and roared over and over again until his voice became hoarse. Beads of sweat fell from his forehead and the thick powder on his face was washed out into ravines.

At this moment, the fighting near the south gate of Xiangyang has reached its most brutal moment.

Although Cai Jiu and others took advantage of the surprise at first and killed the soldiers on duty in Jingzhou by surprise, the rest of the Jingzhou soldiers quickly reacted and attacked with all their strength, blocking Cai Jiu and others in the city. The door. After all, in order to pretend to be refugees working, Cai Jiu and others naturally couldn't wear any armor. In the era of cold weapons, whether or not there was armor were two completely different concepts. Under swords and guns, any contact would result in bloodshed and broken skin, resulting in casualties. When there are too many, the momentum will naturally suffer some loss and will no longer be as fierce as before.

During the fierce fight, people from both sides continued to fall. Some died on the spot, but some were injured, but they were trampled under their feet by unknown members of their own family or opponents, and they screamed miserably. Some of them were still struggling. Climbing to the corner of the road, I accidentally stepped down a few times and gradually lost my breath...

Suddenly, Cai Jiu, who was leading the team to attack the winch of the city gate, heard a huge shout erupting from the city, and a battle flag with "literal" characters came from the north and rushed straight towards here!

"Damn!" Damn it! 』

Cai Jiu shouted and quickly ordered his men to move faster. There was some panic in his tone that could not be concealed. Wenpin's martial prowess is well known in Jingzhou. If Wenpin had really arrived here, not only would he have failed to seize the city, but his own life would have been in danger!

Success or failure, now it seems that the only thing left is who can be faster!

Wenpin led his men and ran southward, his spear tilted to guide the door.

Cai Jiu danced his sword crazily and turned to urge his men.

Xiahou Dun in the north of the city stood under the Chinese flag and beat the huge war drum himself.

The Cai family in the south of the city stood outside the gate of Xiangyang, anxiously waiting for the gate to open.

Black smoke billows.

The flames are fierce.

Howling and crying all around.

Liu Biao stood on the high platform, showing his pale and withered arms, holding up a long sword.

Liu Cong huddled under the corner, holding his knees with his frightened and helpless eyes open.

Everything seems to be in turmoil, and everything seems to be still.

The winch at the south gate of Xiangyang was finally turned, and the iron fence closing the city gate was slowly raised...

Suddenly, near the south gate of Xiangyang, both above and below the city, Cao Jun and Jingzhou soldiers could not help but shout, either with despair or with ecstasy! Cai's reinforcements outside Nancheng were eagerly pulling at the city gate, eager to rush in at the next moment!

Cai Jiu was ecstatic and shouted: "Xiangyang!" Xiangyang City was captured! The first achievement, the first achievement is ours! 』

Wenpin raised his arms and shouted: "Come up!" Hold the city gate! 』

The fire roared, and black smoke filled the sky. The remaining clouds in the sky seemed to be connected with the black smoke on the ground.

Cai's reinforcements rushed into the city, but were blocked by Wenpin and others at the city gate. Cai's soldiers attacked again and again, but with Wenpin's blessing, Jingzhou soldiers stood tightly in one place, Even though Cai's soldiers fought inside with red eyes, they still didn't make much progress, and there were even signs of being pushed out of the city gate!

At this moment, the sound of horse hoofbeats was faintly heard again. Cao Hong and other Cao cavalry who were hiding in the south of Xiangyang saw the agreed signal and ran out of their hiding place and headed towards Xiangyang City with a ferocious look!

Before Wenpin could react, he suddenly heard another loud commotion in the north of the city!

Wenpin, who was usually calm and composed, finally changed his expression. After a while, increasingly loud noises and uncontrollable chaos spread in Xiangyang City...

Pang Ji, who was in charge of the defense in the north of the city gate, was killed by Han Song. Then Han Song ordered the city gate to be opened and the city surrendered.

Cao Jun poured into the city like a raging tide!

Wenpin looked up to the sky and roared, but there was nothing he could do. Liu Biao vomited blood on the balcony and died.

Xiangyang City has finally fallen...

The sun sets.

The chill of the night gradually came.

Sometimes, the same news has different flavors in different places. Liu Biao's death may be the result of a series of complex interactions among the Han people, but from the perspective of the event itself, those who feel happy about Liu Biao's death, or "pleasant", are basically No.

In the main hall of the Xu County Imperial Palace, the lit oil lamp drew a circle that made people feel a little warm. Although the eunuchs, attendants and maids were standing around, some in the hall and some outside the hall, Liu Xie still felt extremely lonely and endless helpless.

Even though Liu Biao had problems of one kind or another, or Liu Biao also acted arrogantly, Liu Biao was, after all, the last member of the Han clan who held real power in the Han Dynasty!

After Liu Biao, there was no longer a prince in the world whose soldiers carried a banner with "Liu" written on it.

The emperor Liu Xie sat silently in front of the chessboard. The hall was quiet except for the occasional sound of falling pieces. Opposite Liu Xie, there was nothingness. Liu Xie seemed to be playing chess with himself and the future.

"I, this step... is the right one, or..."

Liu Xie muttered in a low voice, his voice too fine to detect. He held a chess piece in his hand and never put it down for a long time.

"Some of the things I did were right, and some... were wrong... It was inevitable. I know this, but no matter whether it was right or wrong, what I did was..."

Liu Xie gently dropped the chess piece on the chessboard.

"Just like in a game of chess, if you don't make a move, you lose..." Liu Xie raised his eyebrows slightly, and after a moment, he smiled bitterly, "But after you make a move, you can't change it..."

The chessboard is filled with black and white colors, but under the light of the oil lamp, some other colors seem to appear, flowing and hovering on the chessboard.

"Dong, Wang, Li, Guo, Yuan..." Liu Xie slowly picked up the last one, "Liu...hu..."

"I have never failed the world...why the whole world...has failed me..."

"Why? ! 』

"Why……"

Liu Xie gritted his teeth, the muscles on his cheeks twitched, and the pain in his heart was indescribable.

As early as Dong Zhuo's death, Liu Xie had great ambitions in his heart. These ambitions originated from his father and were born from his blood. He also wanted to become the overlord of ZTE like Guangwu. He chose to leave Feiqian's Bingzhou and come to Yuzhou because this was Guangwu's Longxingzhi. Liu Xie hopes to embark on Guangwu's road to rejuvenation from here, but now it seems that although he has stepped on the footprints left by Guangwu, the road back then has disappeared.

What's left is a land full of thorns.

Liu Xie struggled, and he fought against Cao Cao, trying to activate some people close to him to build a new Han Dynasty structure, and then he could take control of the world again and bring the Han Dynasty to normalcy, but in the end he failed and was discovered by Cao Cao... …

Liu Xie's son died.

Cao Cao's son also died...

died.

Then both Liu Xie and Cao Cao realized that if the two of them fought, they would only gain the advantage of the other guys who were standing around and watching eagerly, so they stopped fighting each other, taking their respective wounds, and temporarily put down their hatred. Then Cao Cao captured Jizhou, and Cao Cao controlled a larger territory, but at the same time, this also meant that the power that Cao Cao originally concentrated in Yuzhou would be spread out. Even Cao Cao himself focused his main energy on Jizhou and stayed in Yecheng.

Liu Xie was not sure about the financial difficulties Cao Cao was currently facing. In his mind, he felt that the reason why Cao Cao attacked Liu Biao was because of one word, "Liu".

Cao Cao was worried that when he stayed in Jizhou, there was a royal family member next door to Yuzhou and to the south of Xu County!

Once upon a time, Liu Xie thought that he and Cao Cao could really forget the pain and move forward hand in hand, but now it seems that the coldness and cruelty of reality forced Liu Xie to face the black and white and iron-blooded world again.

And the hussar general Fei Qian...

Liu Xie sighed.

If Liu Xie was hurt for Cao Cao, then Liu Xie was even more disappointed with Fei Qian.

When Cao Cao launched an offensive against Jingzhou, Liu Xie once imagined how the hussar general Fei Qian would react? But he didn't expect that Fei Qian just sent Liu Qi over in the end, and he also acquiesced that Liu Biao would be defeated by Cao Cao. What made Liu Xie even more painful was that Fei Qian actually "guessed" it right.

Xiangyang fell and Liu Biao died in the Yamen of the Mufu in Jingzhou.

Liu Biao...

Didn’t it claim to have 100,000 soldiers?

Liu Xie suddenly felt that after Liu Biao had been operating in Jingzhou for so long, whether he was working hard or recuperating, his body that originally looked huge and strong turned out to be an empty shell!

After weighing and weighing, and thinking again and again, Liu Xie finally decided to continue his move. Since the chessboard has not been completely overturned, the chess game still needs to continue until it is filled to the point where there is no place to stay, then it will be completely erased and a new game will be started...

On the other side, Liu Qi, who had arrived in Xu County, received the message from Xiangyang. He could hardly bear the blow and fainted on the spot. Although Liu Qi once had a teenage rebellious period, he was still his father. Even though he had made some preparations in his heart, he still couldn't bear it after hearing the definite news.

As Liu Qi's bodyguard, Liu Pan was also dumbfounded and looked sallow.

Yi Ji on the side had a complicated expression, which eventually turned into a sigh.

After a while, Liu Qi regained his consciousness and cried softly, "Father, Father..."

Yi Ji was silent for a moment and said to Liu Pan: "Liu Xiaowei, please leave the inn to find some white hemp... These clothes also need to be changed..."

Liu Pan accepted the offer and left without mentioning it.

"Young Master..." Yi Ji turned to look at Liu Qi who was crying bitterly, "Sir, my condolences... Young Master, this is not the time to be sad..." In this world, people try to exchange their own misery for the mercy of others, and cry to pray for others' mercy. Taking care of it is completely unworkable.

Even the Son of Heaven, who claims that Heaven is his father and Earth is his mother, that the Son of Heaven is born from Heaven and Earth and raised by the Earth, cannot live on pity and sympathy, let alone Liu Qi, who only has a staff left?

If you don't work hard and fight for yourself, if you just give in and show weakness, whine and beg, you will eventually become someone else's food and be swallowed alive by others. Although Yi Ji may not be the best in strategy, his understanding of life and the world is obviously a hundred times better than Liu Qi's.

"Uncle Ji..." Liu Qi held the staff, "I, I... what should I do?" 』

"Let's take this opportunity to express ourselves directly before the Dan level!" "Yi Ji said, "The Cao family's new victory in Jingzhou must have many affairs, and it is difficult to do everything at once. Only at this moment can we make a turn for the better! 』

Liu Qi nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, what Uncle Ji said is... But, this seal..."

"..." Yi Ji also knew Liu Qi's current state, so he sighed and said, "That's it, I will write it, and after it is written, the master will copy it..."

Liu Qi naturally had no objection.

But this chapter is not easy to write. Halfway through Yi Ji's writing, he felt that the wording was too intense, so he stopped, and then started again. Not long after writing, he stopped again, and then started writing again, but he stopped writing before he even finished the beginning. .

Yi Ji knew in his heart that behind Liu Biao's matter, it was not that simple. At the same time, the emperor Liu Xie could not do whatever he wanted. What he wrote must not only stand up, but also allow everyone to do it. All aspects can be accepted, otherwise even if I write with great literary talent and brilliant rhetoric, it will have no effect, I am afraid it will just be annoying...

Yi Ji frowned and thought for a long time before writing again. This time, it was written about the impeachment of Xiahou Dun, but the words were not too fierce. Yiji knew that the emperor Liu Xie needed a breakthrough, but he could not directly oppose the emperor Liu Xie to Cao Cao, because after all, the power of Liu Xie and Cao Cao was already strong. not equal.

All I can do is seize the fact that Xiahou Dun kills royal family members without the king's orders. If he uses gentler words, there will be room for discussion. Once the discussion can be discussed, he can strive for more benefits for Liu Qi...

When the time comes, he will be the vicious dog that pounces on him and bites him, while the emperor Liu Xie can be more detached and assume his balancing role, which is also in line with the emperor's own needs.

As for Xiahou Dun, the most he can do is a reprimand, a fine, and other indifferent punishments. However, Yiji officially wants to use this method to determine Liu Qi's right to file a complaint about the Jingzhou incident, because if Liu Qi does not defend himself, Who else in the world would appeal on behalf of Liu Qi and fight for his rights?

Is the hussar general Fei Qian?

Obviously, Fei Qian sent Liu Qi to Xu County, which showed that his desire for Jingzhou was not that strong. If Fei Qian really cared about Jingzhou, Taishi Ci would not just stay outside Yangcheng, but Zhu Ling was dispatched to escort Liu Qi to Xu County.

It's just that Yi Ji felt that General Hussar's methods were definitely not Liu Qi's. There must be some other actions in Jingzhou, and the best way for him to achieve this is to catch up with General Hussar. These actions, and then influenced each other, completed Liu Biao's entrustment to Yiji, and opened a possible path for Liu Qi to take among the thorns. As for where Liu Qi can reach in the future, Yiji himself also There is no certainty...

Take one step at a time, just take one step.

The great man was so big that he could not even walk all over the world, and there were countless mountains and rivers.

The big man is also very small. Two or three surnames are already full. Even if he wants to write one more, there seems to be no room to write...
