Soldiers come to the world

A large ship sailed from Fancheng on the other side, and slowly approached the Xiangyang pier. On the bow, Liu Bei watched several boatmen put the plank on the pier. There was an anxiety in his eyes that could not be concealed. Well, he immediately boarded the ship and disembarked from the big boat, followed by Liu Feng and dozens of soldiers led horses and got off the big boat one after another.

Three years ago, when Zhao Yun asked for leave to visit his parents' graves, Liu Biao appointed his adopted son to temporarily take over Zhao Yun's position as his personal bodyguard.

But this temporary succession lasted for three years, and it did not become official, nor did it return to Zhao Yun, and Zhao Yun went to Nanjun with Guan Yu to train soldiers for Liu Cong, and he went there for three years.

Liu Bei got on his horse and galloped towards Xiangyang City.

This time Liu Bei came in a hurry. The tense situation in Nanyang burned his heart like fire. Cao Jun aggressively increased his troops to Nanyang, with a total strength of [-].

Liu Bei galloped on his horse and arrived in front of the State Shepherd's Mansion in a short while. He dismounted from his horse, ran up the steps quickly, and said to a guard guarding the gate, "Please tell the State Shepherd that Liu Bei is in a hurry to see you!"

The guard knew Liu Bei, so he quickly bowed and saluted, "Uncle Emperor, I'm sorry, the state shepherd has not seen any guests."

"This.....I saw Zhou Mu last time, why can't it work now?"

Liu Bei said anxiously: "I do have an urgent military situation, can you report it for me!"

The guard shook his head, "This is Madam's order. The state shepherd sees more guests, which makes his condition worse. Besides, the state shepherd sleeps most of the time, so it is difficult for him to see guests."

Perhaps out of admiration for Liu Bei, the guard lowered his voice and said, "Uncle Huang might as well meet Mr. Cong first, he will act as the governor of the state."

Liu Bei knew that Liu Cong was a puppet, and it was useless to see him, but...maybe he could see the state shepherd through him, so Liu Bei cupped his hands and said, "Then please inform Mr. Cong."

"Uncle, please wait a moment, I will report right away."

The guards went in, and Liu Bei walked back and forth at the door with his hands behind his back. In fact, he had already written three military reports, all of which fell into the sea like mud cows. He didn't hear any news. He guessed that most of them were detained by Cai Mao. The request for help must go to him first, so how could he forward it to Liu Biao.

Feeling anxious, the guard ran out again, "Uncle Emperor, please come with me, Mr. Cong is here!"

Liu Bei felt a little displeased, he was an elder, Liu Cong should at least go out to greet him, but let a guard take him in, without even the most basic etiquette and respect.

But at this moment, he had something to ask Liu Cong, so he could only bear with it, turned around and gave Liu Feng some instructions, and then followed the guards into the state pastoral mansion.

Liu Cong is temporarily managing the state affairs as the son of the eldest son. Logically, he should sit in the state government, but Madam Cai thinks that he should take care of his father at the same time, and be filial. Sitting in the mansion, while doing filial piety, while handling state affairs.

Liu Cong's office is located in the West Residence, which was originally a guest room, but after Liu Biao became seriously ill, the State Shepherd's Mansion no longer had any guests, so it was transformed into Liu Cong's official residence.

Since Liu Cong was kidnapped by Liu Jing three years ago, Liu Cong and Cai Shaoyu have almost completely broken off. Liu Biao also knows that there is a conflict in their relationship.

Liu Bei was quickly brought into Liu Cong's official room. As soon as he entered the room, Liu Cong greeted him and knelt down, bowing his head respectfully, "Nephew Liu Cong kowtows to uncle!"

Liu Bei was startled by Liu Cong's respect. Since he was so respectful, why didn't he come out to greet him? He was suspicious, and seeing Liu Cong's gaze was different, he couldn't help but looked around, and suddenly found a pair of embroidered shoes under the screen.

Liu Bei immediately understood that Mrs. Cai was hiding behind the screen, and Liu Cong really became a puppet, but Liu Bei thought that Liu Cong's eyes were different just now, and he was actually hinting at himself, which meant that Liu Cong was not willing to be a puppet, Liu Bei immediately figured it out at this point.

Without showing any signs of expression, he stepped forward to help Liu Cong and said with a smile, "Nephew, please get up, don't be too polite!"

"Uncle, please sit down!"

Liu Cong warmly greeted Liu Bei to sit down, and couldn't help but glance at the embroidered shoes behind the screen. He gradually couldn't bear the feeling of being a puppet. If it can be reviewed according to Cai Mao's meaning on the second page, if Cai Mao objects, he can only veto it; if Cai Mao agrees, he must agree.

He didn't know when such days would end. When he thought that the power that should belong to him was seized by the Cai family, Liu's Jingzhou became Cai's Jingzhou, he felt resentful, including the woman behind the screen, he was also full of hatred , he was used by this woman from beginning to end.

Although he was resentful in his heart, he didn't dare to show it on his face. Apart from resentment, there was more fear in his heart. Mrs. Cai had the evidence of his secret poisoning. If he was disobedient, Mrs. Cai could easily destroy him.

"Is there something urgent, uncle?"

Liu Bei nodded and said anxiously: "The situation is urgent. Cao Jun has massively increased his troops in Nanyang. The food and grass are ready. We will invade the south in a few days. We must deploy troops immediately, my nephew. This matter is extremely urgent and cannot be delayed any longer."

Liu Cong showed a look of embarrassment on his face, "I understand Uncle Huang's anxiety, and I can also understand the tense situation, but I am only in charge of government affairs, and I can't do anything about mobilizing the army."

Liu Bei pondered for a moment, "Then can you inform the state shepherd for me, I want to see him."

Liu Cong bit his lip. Just as he was about to agree, Mrs. Cai turned around from behind the screen and said with a hypocritical smile: "It turns out that the uncle is here. I don't know who I am, so I'm being rude."

Liu Bei hurriedly got up and saluted, "Bei came so abruptly, I'm disturbing sister-in-law."

"It's not abrupt, it's just a coincidence, Zhou Mu has just taken medicine and fell asleep, so I don't want to disturb you anymore, sorry."

"But sister-in-law, there is an emergency military situation."

"I'm afraid this won't work!"

Mrs. Cai shook her head and said: "I am a woman and don't understand these official affairs. I only care about Zhou Mu's health. Now Zhou Mu sees that he is seriously ill every day. As a family member and as a subordinate, I will do everything possible to protect him. Health, instead of disturbing his rest and damaging his health, Uncle Emperor, what do you think?"

Mrs. Cai looked at Liu Bei with a half-smile, Liu Bei was at a loss for words for a while, and Mrs. Cai said indifferently: "Leave the general affairs of the state pastor to the military division. If there is any military situation, you may wish to discuss it with Cai Junshi. If the situation is urgent, Cai Junshi can also make a decision." The decision doesn't have to be to find the state shepherd."

Speaking of this, Liu Bei had no choice but to salute, "In that case, Liu Bei will leave."

"Uncle, go slowly!"

Mrs. Cai did not hold back, so Liu Bei had to leave in a hurry. Seeing Liu Bei disappear, Mrs. Cai's face turned cold, and she turned her head and said coldly to Liu Cong: "What to do, what not to do, I hope I won't remind you a third time , you should know the consequences!"

Mrs. Cai turned around and left, Liu Cong stood stiffly in the hall, his face turned white and red, his fists were slowly clenched, and he gritted his teeth secretly. !"

Liu Cong suddenly remembered something, pulled Shutong over, and whispered something into his ear, Shutong nodded, turned around and ran away, Liu Cong sneered, "You can't even think about it!"

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．

Half an hour later, Cai Mao personally sent Liu Bei out of the state office, and said with a smile all over his face: "Uncle, please rest assured, we are dead lips and teeth, and we will never see death without help. Uncle Huang will go back to prepare for the battle first, and then I will join the army with Kuai and Liu Bie." Let them discuss it, and if everyone agrees, we will immediately send troops northward to defend against Cao's army."

Although Liu Bei did not believe Cai Mao's sincerity, it happened that Deng Yi was not in Xiangyang in Zhizhong, and Pang Ji went to Longzhong. These two people who had a good relationship with him were not there. Although Kuai Yue was there, because of Liu Qi's incident However, the Kuai family had deep conflicts with him, so naturally they would not help him.

Liu Bei had no choice but to leave. As soon as Liu Bei left, Cai Mao's face changed, and murderous intent shot out in his eyes. Liu Bei was actually in Xiangyang. How could he let go of this chance to kill him? Cai Mao immediately whispered to the left and right: "Hurry up!" Find Cai Zhong to meet me!"

Liu Bei was depressed, and he rode slowly on Xiangyang Street, not knowing where to go?How to solve the crisis in Nanyang? After much deliberation, I had to go to Longzhong to discuss with Pang Ji. At this moment, Liu Cong's little book boy A Lin rushed over, panting, "Uncle Emperor, Mr. Cong asked me to tell you You, the Cai family wants to kill you, so go away!"

Liu Bei was taken aback, he didn't even have time to say thank you, he whipped his horse and ran northward, Liu Feng led his own soldiers followed closely behind, hundreds of steps away from the north gate, when suddenly he heard the order to close the gate from the top of the city With the sound of drums, the North City Gate was slowly closing.

A group of soldiers rushed towards the north gate of the city. Sweat dripped from Liu Bei's forehead. He knew very well that the pier must have been blocked, and he would be finished if he didn't leave Xiangyang City. Closed at the latest.

A group of people rushed to the west gate, just in time to see the west gate was about to close, Liu Bei was very anxious and shouted: "Wait a moment, let me go out."

The defenders recognized him as Liu Bei, and hesitated for a moment. Liu Bei rode the red-blooded horse that Liu Jing had given him. The horse was extremely fast, and rushed out of the west gate like lightning. Liu Bei saw no pursuers behind him. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

At this time, Liu Feng also came, and he said loudly: "Father, why don't we turn around and go south to General Wang Wei's barracks!"

Liu Bei pondered for a moment, and now he still has to go back to Xinye. Xiangyang can’t go back, so he can only ask for the protection of the Pang family and cross the river from Longzhong. Thinking of this, he said to Liu Feng: "Let someone pretend to be me, and you will protect him and run south , I will go to Longzhong to find Pang Ji, and from Longzhong I will cross Jiangbei."

Liu Feng hesitated and said: "How can I let my father go alone! It's better for my child to accompany my father."

Liu Bei waved his hand anxiously, "My horse is fast. If you can't keep up, you'll expose your target instead. Hurry up!"

After a pause, Liu Bei said again: "Tell your second uncle again, let him and Zilong lead the army northward quickly, and prepare to face Cao Jun."

Liu Feng was helpless, so he had to lead his men to rush forward. Liu Bei turned his horse's head around, galloped his horse fast, and ran towards Longzhong along the official road. In front of him was the Tanxi Bridge.

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．

At noon, Liu Bei arrived at Lumen Academy. At this time, he was hungry and thirsty, and exhausted. He got off his horse and led the horse to the mountain gate. Come alone?"

When Liu Bei turned his head, he saw Sima Hui, Mr. Shui Jing. Liu Bei lived in Jingzhou for many years and often communicated with famous scholars in Jingzhou. When Xiangyang came, Cai wanted to harm me, so he fled all the way to Longzhong."

Sima Hui is from Yangzhai, Yingchuan, and he also came to Jingzhou as a refugee. He is a representative figure among the famous scholars in the north. In Jingzhou, he doesn't care about official affairs. , and became a well-known "good man" in Jingzhou.

Sima Hui smiled and said, "It's good to escape!"

Liu Biao knew that he was good at everything, and he didn't want to have a deep talk with others, so he didn't ask much. Unexpectedly, Sima Hui smiled and said, "Last time I recommended Fengchu and Wolong to the emperor's uncle. Has there been any progress?"
