Soldiers come to the world

There are a total of more than [-] soldiers at the North City Gate. Except for the [-] or so soldiers who were guarding the city, the rest of the soldiers were resting in the urn. Almost everyone saw the sudden scene.

Everyone was so surprised that they all stood up and rushed over, and soon formed a big circle. At this time, Liu Jing's halberd tip had been removed from Cai Zhong's neck. With a wave of his hand, his soldiers pushed Cai Zhong down on the ground ground, tied up.

"Liu Jing, this is Xiangyang, not your Chaisang, let me go!"

"You bastard, someone killed me with one blow!"

Cai Zhong yelled, he forgot Cai Mao's instructions, his arms were bound rattling, his bones were about to break, Cai Zhong was in unbearable pain.

"You idiots, hurry up and save me!" Cai Zhong turned his head and yelled at his subordinates.

But he had been appointed Marquis of Beicheng for less than half a month, and none of these soldiers were his confidantes, even if there were one or two confidants, they were afraid of Liu Jing's power and did not dare to rescue him.

Cai Zhong's viciousness has already made him lose the morale of the army, what's more, what they are facing is not the Jiangdong Army or Cao Jun, but Zhou Mu's nephew, Liu Jing, who just defeated the Jiangdong Army in Jiangxia, a hero that the soldiers admire very much.

No one stepped forward to help Cai Zhong, and even many soldiers turned their backs. At this time, passers-by who came and went to and from the city gate also surrounded them one after another, and more and more people came to the Wengcheng to watch the excitement.

"Listen, soldiers!"

Liu Jing raised his voice, and his stern voice echoed in the Wengcheng, "As we all know, it was Cai Zhong who left his post in Xiakou and caused the Jingzhou reinforcements to fail miserably. Being captured, such a serious crime deserves to be executed in the army, but he was only demoted two ranks, just because he is Cai Mao's younger brother, how can this let our fallen brothers rest in peace, and how can the tens of thousands of living soldiers be convinced!"

Liu Jing was impassioned, and the soldiers present listened quietly. Everyone was infected, and their eyes were shining with hatred and dissatisfaction.

Liu Jing took a deep breath and said loudly: "According to military regulations, I have no right to kill him, but as a soldier, I have the right to uphold justice for the brothers who died in battle!"

He turned his head and shouted: "Break his two legs for me!"

Cai Zhong begged, "Master Jing, let me go..."

Before he could finish speaking, the five-color sticks were rained down, and only Cai Zhong's mournful wailing was heard.

Liu Jing stared at Cai Zhong coldly, a sneer slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth, he believed that Cai Mao would understand his intentions.

. . . . . . . . .

Cai Hao walked quickly into the inner house, came to the place where his uncle was recuperating, and walked into the yard, where he saw Cai Xun sitting cross-legged on a stone mill, slowly peeling a pile of dried beans.

Cai Mao had to admire this second uncle, who was more and more capable of cultivating his mind and character. He hurriedly stepped forward, bowed and said, "Does second uncle still have the mind to peel beans?"

Cai Xun didn't raise his head, and asked slowly, "The sky is about to collapse, or the earth is about to sink?"

Cai Mao smiled wryly, "My nephew just said that something big will happen in Jingzhou."

"Since the sky hasn't collapsed and the earth hasn't sunk, why worry?"

Cai Xun smiled and said: "I planted these beans, harvested in autumn and stored in winter. I have peeled them for a few days and stored hundreds of catties. I don't have to worry about going hungry this winter."

Cai Mao knew his uncle's temper, so he stopped talking and stood with hands down. After a while, Cai Xun glanced at him and asked unhurriedly, "Is Liu Jing here?"

This sentence immediately cheered up Cai Mao. The second uncle's thinking was so sharp that he not only guessed his intention, but more importantly, the second uncle must have a countermeasure, which made Cai Mao, who was upset in his heart, see hope.

"Exactly!" Cai Mao hurriedly said, "He just arrived at Xiangyang Wharf, and he brought an estimated [-] troops with him, and was warmly welcomed by the people of Xiangyang."

"He came to celebrate his uncle's birthday. It's normal. It's reasonable to be popular. If you defeat the Jiangdong Army, you can still enjoy the glory admired by all people. What's so strange?" Cai Xun still wrote lightly.

"Second Uncle, Liu Biao's birthday celebration is just an excuse. The real purpose is to lure Liu Jing to Xiangyang and completely solve the Jiangxia problem."

"I can understand this, but what does this have to do with you?" Cai Xun's tone became cold.

Cai Mao couldn't help being stunned, he suddenly felt that the second uncle didn't seem to approve of the Cai family's participation in Liu Jing's affairs, he was a little embarrassed, he had already participated, how could he withdraw.

Cai Mao had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "Second Uncle doesn't know something. This matter is a condition for Liu Biao to exonerate me. He hopes that I can help him with Jiang Xia's matter."

"Humph!"

Cai Xun snorted coldly, "The condition for exempting you from responsibility is that the Cai family makes concessions on the supply of money and food! What does it have to do with this matter? This is his Liu family's housework. Why do you want to get involved?"

Cai Hao bit his lips tightly, and retorted: "This is not a family matter. Liu Jing will become the second Huang Zu if he separates Jiangxia. It is related to the interests of the entire Jingzhou. As a military adviser, how can I stand by and watch!"

Cai Xun sneered again and again, "What a righteous military adviser Cai, I am ashamed of what I said. If that is the case, what do you come to me for? Be your military adviser!"

Cai Mao knelt down, "Nephew is rude, nephew apologizes to second uncle!"

Seeing his sincerity, Cai Xun put away his sarcasm, nodded and said, "Get up first!"

Cai Mao stood up and stood aside respectfully, Cai Xun sighed: "Actually, I am not trying to embarrass you, nor do I object to your participation in this matter. After all, it is inconvenient for Liu Biao to come forward for many things, so he can only rely on you. Liu Biao values ​​you, but everything has a negative side, and I'm afraid you won't see it."

Cai Mao nodded silently, and said after a while, "If things fail, Liu Jingsheng will indeed take his anger out on me."

Cai Xun took a deep look at him, shook his head and said, "It's not because of this, Degui, I'm worried that Liu Jing will become the Lord of Jingzhou in the future."

Cai Mao was stunned, and waved his hands again and again after a while, "No, Liu Jingsheng has already told me clearly that in the future, either the eldest son Qi or the second son Cong will inherit the throne of Jingzhou, and there will be no third person."

Cai Xun sneered, "The Han Dynasty lost its deer, and all the heroes competed for it. Jingzhou is also a part of the deer. Do you think Liu Qi and Liu Cong have the ability to own Jingzhou?"

"But... the second uncle also said that we support Liu Cong as the Lord of Jingzhou. The Cai family will get the greatest benefit in the future. Once Cao Jun goes south, it will also ensure that the Cai family will get the first benefit. The second uncle will not deny it Bar!"

"I didn't deny it, I still support Liu Cong as the Lord of Jingzhou, I just..."

Speaking of this, Cai Xun sighed, "I just want to leave a way out for the Cai family. What if Liu Jing captures Jingzhou before Cao Cao goes south? I thought it was impossible before, but after the Jiangxia battle, I think there is such a thing. It's possible, Degui, we have to prepare for the worst!"

Cai Mao was silent, his second uncle's earnest words hit his heart hard, and he asked himself, if it wasn't for Liu Jing's strong rise, he, a dignified Jingzhou military adviser, would attach so much importance to this person, hate him, and even be a little afraid of him.

He is well aware of the incompetence of Liu Qi and Liu Cong. Once Liu Biao can't control the situation, the truth is still unknown, and there is still a rumor that Sun Quan wrote to Liu Jing after the war, willing to support him as the Lord of Jingzhou .

No matter whether Sun Quan was sowing dissension or not, at least it showed that Jiang Dong and Liu Jing had a tacit understanding. If Liu Jing really got Jiang Dong's support, then it is not impossible to seize Jingzhou Mu.

Cai Mao originally wanted to get some enlightenment from his uncle on how to deal with Liu Jing, but unexpectedly, his uncle advised him to leave room, which made Cai Mao extremely hesitant.

Although Cai Mao also understands the truth, there are some things he can't help himself. At this time, he doesn't agree with the second uncle's idea of ​​appeasement. After a moment of silence, Cai Mao nodded, "Thank you second uncle, I understand."

At this moment, a family member ran over in a panic, "Patriarch, it's bad!"

"What's wrong?" Cai Mao asked very unhappy.

"Patriarch, it's the third master, that is, Cai Zhong, whose legs were broken and hung on the city gate for public display!"

"what!"

Cai Mao's eyes widened, who would dare to act so boldly?He grabbed the hem of his family's clothes, "Who is it! Who did it?"

"Report... Patriarch, I heard it's Young Master Jing..."

"what!"

Cai Mao was stunned for a moment, he suddenly ran out like crazy, the depression accumulated in his heart for a long time almost made him explode, why is it this person again!

Cai Xun was not surprised at all, he was still slowly peeling his dried beans, suddenly, his hands stopped, and a sneer slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"What a poisonous method!" Cai Xun said to himself.

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．

The North City is already crowded with people. Thousands of people are watching the North City Wall from a distance. There is a person hanging on the North City Wall, with his head drooping, his legs drooping weakly, and covered in blood. Almost all Xiangyang people know this person, known as Xiangyang Cai Zhong, one of the double tigers.

There was a lot of whispering, everyone's face was full of excitement, a news quickly spread among the crowd, it was said that it was Liu Jing who was dissatisfied with Cai Zhong's defeat of Jiang Xia's treatment.

Everyone was excited that Liu Jing blamed Cai Zhong, but at the same time worried about his audacity. Dealing with Cai Zhong was the state pastor's opinion. If he injured the general without authorization, would the state pastor spare him?

At this time, a group of people came rushing forward, the leader was Cai He, another brother of Cai Mao's clan, followed by more than a dozen children of the Cai family.

Seeing his elder brother being hanged in mid-air, Cai He couldn't help pointing at the soldiers and yelling, "You bastards, how dare you leave him dead!"

The soldiers didn't dare to say anything, they all lowered their heads. Cai He was so angry that he didn't care about the soldiers. He ran to the city to untie the rope, and slowly lowered Cai Zhong from the city wall.

Cai Zhong had passed out and was dying, Cai He shouted anxiously, "Come to the doctor!"

At this time, there was another sound of footsteps, and Cai Hao hurriedly arrived under the guard of dozens of followers. He pushed away the crowd, squeezed forward, and was stunned for a while. He didn't expect Cai Zhong to be beaten so badly.

Both legs were broken, covered in blood, and his life was hanging by a thread. Cai Mao gritted his teeth and cursed: "Liu Jing, let's wait and see!"

At this time, the sky was getting dark, Liu Jing appeared outside the gate of the State Shepherd's Mansion, he tidied up his coat and hat, and walked up the steps quickly. It was really a narrow road to Yuanjia, and there was a rush of footsteps, and a noble lady suddenly appeared in front of him , it is Mrs. Cai.
