In the mansion of the Cai family in Xiangyang City
"There's news, there's news!" In Cai's mansion, Cai Mao, Kuai Ran, Kuai Liang and his son Kuai Ran were all there, and they were all anxiously waiting for the news. got the news.
A shadow guard quickly came to Cai Mao and knelt down in front of Cai Mao, "Report to my lord, this is a secret letter from the front."
Cai Mao took the envelope, waved his hand, and told his subordinates to go out first.
He quickly opened the envelope, took out the letter and read it.
"How, how, Brother Desi?" Kuai Liang was the first to be impatient, and shouted anxiously at Cai Mao.
"Don't make a noise, isn't this just watching!" Cai Mao immediately choked up. If it was on weekdays, Kuai Liang would immediately think about it. You must know that the two have been arguing for decades in Jingzhou, but This rare Kuai Liang did not respond.
"However, go down and prepare, prepare to rescue your big brother Liu Mang... 3.s." Kuai Yue was much calmer, and he took a sip of tea. Think about the countermeasures after this.
What Kuai Yue had thought early on was that King Liu Mang of Shu was arrested and locked up by Liu Biao. This was the worst news Kuai Yue wanted. The navy, they also have the ability to fight. "Brother Yidu, you don't need to go." Cai Mao shook his head and said to Kuai Yue. The expression on Cai Mao's face was so ugly that Kuai Yue and the others couldn't help but thump in their hearts.
"Could it be that His Royal Highness the King of Shu has been killed by the lord?" Kuai Yue stood up sullenly and asked Cai Mao, this was the worst news. If Liu Biao killed Shu Wang Liu Mang on the spot. Then everything Kuai Yue did was useless. There is bound to be a war between Jingzhou and Yangzhou, and the situation of the Cai family and the Kuai family will be embarrassing. Both Jingzhou and Yangzhou will definitely regard these two families as thorns in the flesh.
"No, no! His Royal Highness the King of Shu has already escaped!" Cai Mao said to Kuai Yue and the others.
"Escaped?" Kuai Yue and the others immediately widened their eyes. The first reaction was disbelief. How could this be possible? They knew that Liu Biao was really angry this time. Cai Mao was grounded, and he was accompanied by Xiangyang guards and one thousand of his own personal guards, just to deal with Shu Wang Liu Mang and others.
If King Liu Mang of Shu had left before Kuai’s family informed him, then everything would be gone, King Liu Mang of Shu could still escape, but this time King Liu Mang of Shu was acting out of his will and was surrounded by Liu Biao’s army over there How could he escape? "Could it be that he can't fly!" Kuai Liang couldn't help saying this. "He can really fly!" Cai Mao said weakly.
"Ah!" Kuai Ran exclaimed in surprise. Can his elder brother fly? How can this be. Is this just a joke? How can people fly? This is not God.
"If you don't believe me, just read it for yourself!" Cai Mao handed over the letter in his hand, and Kuai Yue read it with it. The side also looked up.
What was written on the letter was the information that Liu Mang had left, and it really flew out. They also knew why Cai Mao's face changed drastically after reading this letter, because what was written on it was Liu Biao's love for him. Mrs. Cai's treatment, she was locked in a big prison, life and death are uncertain, and she even brought Liu Biao to say that she would kill Liu Zong.
The Cai family is relying on Mrs. Cai's son, Liu Zong, to consolidate their position in Jingzhou. If Liu Zong dies, what will be left of the Cai family? Isn't what he's done for so many years was in vain.
"I didn't expect that your elder brother is really capable!" Kuai Yue said to Kuai Ran with a wry smile, and even flew out. Fly, this is something that people have always wanted but have never been able to do. For them, flying should be something that gods and men can do, but his big brother really did it.
"Could it be that His Royal Highness the King of Shu is really chosen by the heavens?" Kuai Liang couldn't help interjecting. Kuai Liang had been to Yangzhou. The veterans who have come out, they are now serving as the waist in the Yangzhou Army, and they describe Liu Mang as a god-man, a god-man descended from heaven.
Kuai Liang didn't believe it at first, isn't this just a joke, where are the gods and gods in this world? So what, the sky is dead and the yellow sky is standing, how many people still call themselves the Yellow Turban Army.
But now it's different, Liu Mang, the king of Shu, Liu Mang, actually flew out.
"A god-man?" Kuai Yue shook his head. It should belong to mechanism skills. Kuai Yue was much calmer than his younger brother. His Highness has already escaped, Mrs. Cai has also been imprisoned by the lord, what we should do now is to wrap Mr. Liu Zong." Kuai Yue said to Cai Mao, now Liu Biao is extremely angry, if he doesn't What can I do if I hold back and kill Liu Zong
Liu Zong must not be Liu Mang's son. Kuai Yue knew this, because when Liu Zong was born, Lu Bu was still a state shepherd in Xuzhou, so how could he come to Jingzhou.
"En!" That's the only way to go, Cai Mao nodded, now the only way to do this is to cover Liu Zong, although Liu Biao is very angry with the Kuai family and the Cai family, but anger does not mean that Liu Biao has no wolves, Unless he doesn't want Jingzhou anymore, he won't be able to drive the Cai family and the Kuai family to extinction, so the Cai family and the Kuai family still have a chance, as long as they keep the young master Liu Zong, and just wait for the master Liu Biao to die of illness. If the son ascends the throne, the Cai family and the Kuai family will naturally consolidate their positions.
"Report, report! The letter ahead!" Just as everyone was discussing the matter, another letter was sent over there.
"Anything else?" Cai Mao took him and disassembled it. "What!" Cai Mao's face became more serious when he saw the letter. "
"Brother Desi?" Kuai Yue directly got the letter from Cai Mao, which said that Cong Zi Liu Pan commanded 20,000 troops to Xiangyang.
"Liu Pan!?" Kuai Yue just remembered such a person. Isn't this Liu Biao's follower? He is the son of Liu Biao's younger brother. Because he has a good relationship with Liu Biao, he was raised by Liu Biao, and because he was not his own, everyone didn't have any idea about this cousin, but now it is different, he has come back.
"Liu Pan?" Kuai Liang's image of Liu Pan was that of a dude. Back then, Kuai Liang was the commander of Xiangyang Wei, and at that time he was in charge of public security in the city. And this Liu Pan really fell into the hands of Kuai Liang. At the beginning, Liu Pan had a big fight with other dudes in this hotel because of the overlord meal, so the boss saved his position. Kuai Liang happened to be there. When Kuai Liang was in office, he was a fool. He took care of everything, he didn't care what kind of second son you were or who else was. There was only one word and that was arrest. You have reason to go to the government to explain it.
And this Mr. Liu Pan is even more violent. He simply ignored Kuai Liang, just refused to let Kuai Liang be caught, and even wanted to let Kuai Liang come to see him, showing his arrogance as the second son in a mess.
And Kuai Liang was also full of anger at the time, didn't you, Liu Pan, just put it on the muzzle of the gun, so Kuai Liang ordered to take it directly, and in this dispute, Mr. Liu Pan and Xiangyang Wei fought, and finally Killed two Xiangyang Wei officials.
Kuai Liang was furious immediately. After taking down Liu Pan, he immediately gave Liu Pan fifty big sticks. He almost beat Liu Pan to death. The death penalty was fixed in the big prison, and he was going to be executed in autumn.
This case has alarmed Liu Biao, can it not be alarmed, this is Liu Biao's son, and they are related by blood anyway, so Liu Biao pleaded with Kuai Liang. It's the same to beg for mercy, behead.
Liu Biao even slapped Kuai Liang on the table, Kuai Liang was also angry, and said that unless Liu Biao killed Kuai Liang, he would die with this Liu Pan, which made Liu Biao really helpless.
If you kill Kuai Liang, then you and Kuai's family will fall out completely, and this Liu Pan is indeed at fault, so Liu Biao didn't dare to say anything, and finally he could only secretly send someone to rob Xiangyang Wei's prison , Give Liu Pan out.
In order to fear that Kuai Liang, a fool, would continue to investigate and was ready to fight to the end, Liu Biao simply discussed with Kuai Yue, Cai Mao and Huang Zu that Kuai Liang's official position in Xiangyang Wei should be taken away by him. At that time, the Huang family and Cai family were also suffering. Yan, Kuai Liang doesn't recognize favor at all, who can bear this, Kuai Yue's family is also a headache, the three hit it off and won Kuai Liang's official position, otherwise Kuai Liang is still in command of Xiangyang Guard.
"He's back!" Kuai Liang couldn't help muttering to himself over there. After he was removed from the Xiangyang Guard, he also made some investigations. The last news he learned was that Mr. Liu Pan was sent to the border by his lord Liu Biao. Go, go join the army to defend your homeland.
So Kuai Liang didn't care about it anymore, it was not much different from being a soldier, but he didn't expect that Liu Pan would come back.
"This Liu Pan not only came back! He also came back with soldiers and horses." Cai Mao's eyes glowed with gold. It was written on the letter that there were 20,000 elite soldiers, including 5,000 heavy armored cavalry. There are fifteen thousand heavy armored feet.
"Brother Desi, do you know these soldiers and horses?". Kuai Yue asked Cai Mao. After all, Cai Mao is a figure in the army. He is a military adviser. Basically, he is a person who wants to coordinate the entire Jingzhou army. He is more professional. Kuai Yue is very surprised by this heavy armored unit. We must know that there are many water battles in Jingzhou, and basically all of them are developing ships and naval forces, but where do these heavy armored troops come from? Not to mention heavy armored footsteps, after all, as long as iron armor is enough, Jingzhou has no shortage of iron mines, but here heavy armored cavalry, this war horse is extremely precious, you must know that Jiangdong has only spent two thousand for so many years. A war horse came out and was wiped out by the First Battle of Yangzhou. Their heavy cavalry from Jingzhou looks extremely luxurious and they are all good horses.
"I don't know about this either!" Cai Mao's eyes sparkled because of this, 20,000 elite troops, 20,000 heavy-armored troops, such a big weaving, he, a Jingzhou military division, didn't even know, you think Cai Mao can't be angry . He, Cai Mao, thought that only the Huang family was competing with Cai Mao in this army, but he was wrong, there was actually a young master Liu Pan.
"This lord is hiding it very deeply!" Kuai Yue said to Cai Mao, even Cai Mao was hiding it. What else is this lord hiding? Cai Mao didn't know anything. this is too scary.
"He, Liu Biao, doesn't trust us anymore." Cai Mao also responded to Kuai Yue, this time Cai Mao didn't call the lord directly, but called him by his first name, which showed Cai Mao's anger.
"I'm not afraid if you trust me or not." Kuai Yue shook his head. It doesn't matter if he trusts. After all, Liu Biao is old. Even if he suppresses the Kuai family and the Cai family, it will only be a few years, as long as Liu Zong ascends the throne. Then there is nothing left, and it can even go a step further.
What is Kuai Yue worried about! That is the conversation between Liu Biao and Liu Pan. It is written on the letter that Liu Pan sees Liu Biao, Liu Pan calls his uncle, and the cousin calls his father. This is the key.
If the heir is really changed, it will be over. Originally, Jingzhou had two heirs, and the first one was the eldest son Liu Qi. Liu Qi was the eldest son of Liu Biao. It can be said that this is the biggest threat, so when Liu Qi was in Jingzhou at that time. The Kuai family and the Cai family targeted Liu Qi everywhere, preventing Liu Qi from stepping into the center of power. In the end, they even directly encouraged the lord Liu Bei to send the eldest son Liu Qi to Xinye. Dealing with government affairs and cultivating his ability, but everyone inside knows that this is to kick Liu Qi out of Xiangyang, so that the lord Liu Biao can't see the eldest son Liu Qi. reaction.
The second heir is the youngest son Liu Zong, and the eldest son was kicked out, so naturally this youngest son Liu Zong has a great possibility. Now the eldest son Liu Qi has even entered Yangzhou. Although he is still the prefect of Xinye, he is now a native of Yangzhou. It can be said that Liu Biao's inheritance right has been cut off.
It was safe at first, but who knew there was an extra Liu Pan, this is the lord's servant, the son of his younger brother, but now Liu Biao actually asked Liu Pan to call him father, what kind of situation is this
So Kuai Yue immediately became vigilant, this Liu Pan did not come well, and the soldiers and horses brought back by this Liu Pan did not even know Cai Mao, which shows that their lord is really hiding deeply.
"He dares!" Cai Hao was really angry. His sister was locked up by Liu Biao, and her life and death were unknown. He was never so angry, and he was not as angry as Huang She was ashamed, but now it is different. , Cai Mao is really angry, he wants to kill someone, this is Cai Mao's bottom line, that is to let his nephew Liu Zong inherit the position of Jingzhou Mu, this is true.
Once someone moved his cake, Cai Mao would fight desperately with someone. If Liu Biao really wanted Liu Pan to ascend the throne, then Cai Mao might really rebel.
"Brother Desi, don't be angry, this is just Yue's guess." Kuai Yue shook his head and said, he thinks it is unlikely that Liu Biao will let Liu Pan inherit the position of Jingzhou Mu. To use Liu Pan to contain the Cai family and the Kuai family, the 20,000 heavy-armored elites are invincible on this ground, and Cai Mao is holding a navy army in his hands, which is really difficult.
"Where is this Liu Pan now?" Cai Mao asked, he wanted to meet this Liu Pan now.
"I'm chasing His Highness the King of Shu." After Kuai Yue finished reading the letter, Liu Pan led his troops to chase His Highness the King of Shu.
"He chased after elder brother?" Kuai Ran froze for a moment.
"What's wrong with the sky?" Suddenly Kuai Liang saw beyond the sky, and now the sky has begun to gradually darken, but the sky to the west is still shining brightly. Pieces of flaming red make people exclaim in surprise.
"Fire, big fire!" Cai Mao could tell what it was at a glance, after all he was familiar with water and fire, so he could tell what it was at a glance.
"How could there be such a big fire!" Kuai Yue asked, the fire was so big that it set half of the sky on fire for him.
"Someone burned the mountain with fire?" Kuai Yue and Cai Mao thought at the same time, and they looked at each other. This is the only way to light the whole mountain for him. That kind of forest fire will have such a landscape, but who would? Setting fire to the mountain, that’s the west side, isn’t the west city wall beyond the west side, isn’t that where Liu Mang, king of Shu, left.
Of course, only the army can burn the mountain. Cai Mao's army is useless, and Liu Biao's army has not left the city. For so long, only the soldiers and horses brought by Liu Pan, why do they burn the mountain with fire prevention
"Shu King Liu Mang!" That's the only explanation, no one would be so stupid as to set fire to a mountain. Because you're not sure where the wind is going. You may accidentally burn yourself. The fire is not easy to control, and it is also difficult to extinguish it. What's more, there are many forests in the forest. This fire is really extinct.
To be able to set down the heart to burn the mountain is naturally to pursue an important person, Liu Mang, King of Shu.
"My big brother!" Kuai Ran became anxious again.
…
That's right, this big fire was really aimed at burning Shu Wang Liu Mang.
"This Shu king Liu Mang really intends to be a turtle?" Liu Pan couldn't help but frowned when Liu Mang didn't recover at the foot of the mountain. "What time is it now?"
"Reporting to the general, there is only a moment left in half an hour." Liu Pan's personal guard said to Liu Pan.
"There is only a quarter of an hour left!" Liu Pan sneered. "Okay, start lighting the fire." Liu Pan ordered to his subordinates.
"My lord, isn't there still a quarter of an hour?" Liu Pan's subordinates asked.
"Ignite the fire first, I want to see how long our Highness the King of Shu can endure." Liu Pan said to his subordinates, he wanted to light the fire first, and use the smoke to smoke out Liu Mang and others.
The fire was ignited quickly, but Liu Pan deliberately made an isolation, only three sides were lit, and an exit was left. This was to force Liu Mang and others to come out. The fire filled the mountain, and they must Find an exit. This exit is to force them to come out. The place to take it directly after the disaster.
The fire began to spread, and the entire mountain was filled with smoke.
"Cough, cough, cough!" Liu Pan hadn't smoked the enemy yet, so he smoked himself first, and coughed involuntarily.
"General, let's go to the rear now!" A personal guard stepped forward and said to Liu Pan.
"Okay!" Liu Pan nodded and moved away from the fire.
The violent flames began to rise, and waves of heat followed. Liu Pan stared at the exit, waiting for Liu Mang and the others to bear it no longer and rush out from here.
"General, it's half an hour!" Just when Liu Pan was about to see through, a guard walked up and said to Liu Pan.
"Okay, okay! Seriously, my Liu Pan's words are regarded as nonsense, and I still haven't come out. Do you want to die so much? Okay, then I, Liu Pan, will fulfill you." Liu Pan was angry, and his face was full of murder. I mean, he gave Liu Mang face, let Liu Mang come out and surrender by himself, and gave him half an hour to think about it, but Liu Mang didn't give Liu Pan any face, such a big fire couldn't be smoked out he.
"Come here and light this place for me!" Liu Pan said angrily to his subordinates.
"General, don't we want to capture Liu Mang, King of Shu?" A guard asked, this Liu Biao wanted to capture Liu Mang alive.
"Is it so important to live or die!" Liu Pan stood up coldly, "Since Liu Mang wants to die, then I will grant him his blessing, why are you still standing there, light the fire!" Liu Pan yelled at his subordinates.
"Yes!" Soon the group of Liu Pan's heavy armored cavalry also lit the last exit, and the fire rose up, raging on the land of Jingzhou like a fire dragon.
This mountain is full of trees, and when the fire started, it burned the sky and covered the earth, dyeing half of the sky red for him.
"It's water, it's water!" Such a big commotion couldn't be overwhelmed, and all the people in Xiangyang City ran out. It would be terrible if the fire changed the direction of the wind.
"Ouch, who the hell is this? It's a shame to burn the mountain!" The people who rely on the mountain for their livelihood cried out, because they still live like this when the mountain is burned.
"I saw His Royal Highness the King of Shu flying out from the West Factory Gate, and the direction he looked at was the direction His Highness flew out of!"
"Fly out? You don't know how to look at it, how can this person fly out!" Some people didn't believe it.
"I lied to you, I'm not, I'm not, I was born by a girl in the music hall!" The people began to swear.
"I also saw that His Highness the King of Shu flew out. This His Highness the King of Shu is really a god." Someone said with emotion.
"Could it be that His Royal Highness the King of Shu got angry?"
"Burning the mountain with fire?" Huang She also saw this scene in Xiangyang Chengzhou Mufu's mansion, his face was a bit uneasy. Could it be that Liu Mang, King of Shu, was really trapped in the mountain by Liu Pan? Otherwise, it is impossible for this Liu Pan to burn the mountain.
"Damn it, damn it! Shu Wang Liu Mang, Liu Hanyang, why are you so stupid, your ingenuity, your ability!" Huang She really hates Liu Mang now, you said you will deal with him Huang Bring out the ability to shoot, and escape from Liu Pan's hands. The best way is to kill that Liu Pan, so that Huang She will be the happiest. If Liu Mang, king of Shu, fell into the hands of Liu Pan, or was burned to death by Liu Pan, then Huang She would cry, because in this case, wouldn’t Huang She just make a wedding dress for someone else? Although he was the one who broke through the relationship between Liu Mang, King of Shu, and Mrs. Cai, but the culprit was caught or killed by Liu Pan, and the greatest credit for this is gone.
Originally, Huang She was no match for Liu Pan, but if the credit was a little less, there would really be no chance for such a long time.
"Is it my son who is setting fire to the mountain?" Liu Biao also saw the sky-filled mountain fire, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of Liu Biao's mouth.
What he was thinking about now was not the harm caused by the fire, but what he was thinking about was killing Liu Mang, King of Shu. It was a pity that he couldn't torture Liu Mang, King of Shu to death with his own hands, but it didn't matter if he killed him. "Hahahahaha!" Liu Biao laughed loudly.
