Major General's Journey through the Three Kingdoms

That night, Cai Mao led hundreds of people to surround Liu Bei's building.He himself broke into Liu Bei's couch with his armored soldiers.However, there was no one there.Cai Mao was furious, so he asked the staff of the library where Liu Bei had gone.The building staff replied that he was there a while ago, but he left without knowing when.Cai Mao raised his sword and beheaded the man.

When Liu Biao heard that Cai Mao was leading troops to Liu Bei's place, he also led the crowd to rush over.At this time, Cai Mao also learned that Liu Biao was coming with a crowd.Cai Mao knew that Liu Biao would definitely punish him if he brought troops here without permission.Just as he was thinking about how to report this to Liu Biao, he suddenly had an idea and wrote an anti-poem in front of Liu Bei's bed, and then sent someone to report it to Liu Biao.

Liu Biao came to the library to have a look, and sure enough there were anti-poems written.Can't help being furious: "Liu Bei deceived me, I will kill him!"

When Cai Mao heard this, he was secretly delighted.So Cai He and Cai Zhong were ordered to send troops to attack Liu Bei.However, Liu Biao thought about it at this moment, Liu Bei has been with him for so long, and he has never heard that he can recite poems.Knowing that this must be framed by someone, he stopped Cai Mao and others.He declared that he would settle accounts with him later.Cai Mao knew that Liu Biao was suspicious of him, so he didn't dare to send troops by force.Had to back down.

When Mrs. Cai heard that the plan to kill Liu Bei had failed, she couldn't help secretly angering Liu Bei's cunning.So he discussed another strategy with Cai Mao and others.The next day, Cai Mao said to Liu Biao: "This year's rice harvest is bumper, and we can hold a banquet in Xiangyang for the officials of the nine counties of Jingxiang to express their consolation. My lord, please preside over it."

Liu Biao said: "I've been sick recently, and I really can't go to host it. I can ask the two young masters to host it on my behalf."

Cai Mao said: "The two young masters are young, so I'm afraid they will break the etiquette."

Liu Biao thought for a while, then said: "In that case, you can go to Xinye and ask my younger brother Xuande to be the host, what do you think?"

"It's so good!" Cai Mao secretly rejoiced that he had hit the mark.

The next day, he sent someone to invite Liu Bei.After Liu Bei fled back to Xinye by chance.Knowing that he must be the one who spoke well for Liu Qi, but also opposed Liu Biao's abolishing the elders and establishing the younger ones, so he was hated by Cai and others.At this time, I suddenly heard that Liu Biao sent an envoy, claiming to invite Liu Bei to go to Xiangyang to preside over the harvest ceremony.At this time, Sun Qian remonstrated: "There is Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and there are two sons under him, but now I let the lord go to preside over the grand ceremony, and let the lord go to preside over it with stupidity. There must be hidden secrets in it, and the lord should not be taken lightly."

Zhao Yun also said: "This is the trick of Mrs. Cai and others, my lord, please don't go." After Zhao Yun came back from Duke Pound's mansion, he secretly felt that Mr. Shui Jing's words were not unreasonable.Therefore, he decided to help Liu Bei achieve some hegemony.

Liu Bei said: "Liu Biao is my elder brother. He invited me to the meeting. If I don't go, Jingzhou and others will be suspicious, and then they will come to attack themselves in a justifiable way."

Zhang Fei said angrily: "It doesn't matter if you don't go to this banquet, but when they lead an army to kill them, I will attack them personally."

Liu Bei said: "I have made up my mind, please don't try to persuade me again."

Zhao Yun said at this time: "Since I want to go, I will take a hundred armored soldiers with me."

Liu Bei said: "It's very good."

After saying that, Zhao Yun went down to let his Qinglong and White Tiger Guards take care of everything.Immediately, he and Liu Bei went to Xiangyang.Xiangyang is not far from Xinye, and the half-day trip has already arrived.Liu Qi, Liu Cong, Cai Mao and others had already left the city to greet them.Seeing that the two sons were there, Liu Bei got off his horse and followed them into the city.And Zhao Yun followed closely behind with his armored soldiers.Liu Qi said to Liu Bei, "Father is sick and cannot come. I specially invite my uncle to come and entertain the guests. I will help and persuade the officials of various states and counties. Please forgive me!"

Liu Bei said: "I didn't dare to do it, it was my brother's order, and I dare not disobey." That night, Liu Bei took a rest in the library building.Zhao Yun, Zuo Long and others were guarding around his room.Cai Mao and others saw that the building was heavily guarded, but they didn't know who Zhao Yun was.But Zhao Yun was wearing a white robe and silver armor, holding a silver gun, and standing at the door imposingly, looking very majestic.Cai Mao knew that this person must be a fierce general, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

The next day, Liu Qi reported that all the officials from the nine Jingxiang counties had arrived.Liu Bei then packed up and went.And Cai Mao had already prepared an ambush in Xiangyang City at this time.The east gate is guarded by Cai He, the south gate is guarded by Cai Zhong, and the north gate is guarded by Cai Xun. The west gate is left alone. Going to the west gate is Tanxi, which is very difficult to cross.Although Liu Qi was the prefect of Xiangyang at this time, the army was controlled by Cai Mao, so he didn't know about it at this time.

Liu Bei rode a Luma and headed towards the government office. Zhao Yun followed Liu Bei closely, and secretly ordered Zuo Long and Zhao Fan to check the situation in the city.And he observed the situation around the government office.I saw a huge crowd of people in the government office, slaughtering cattle and sheep.Liu Bei walked into the lobby, and Zhao Yun followed suit.

Seeing this, Cai Mao knew that it would be extremely difficult to attack Liu Bei.So he discussed with Kuai Yue how to separate the two of them.Kuai Yue said: "You can ask someone to set up a seat in the outer hall to wait for the general. First drag Zhao Yun along, and then wait for the opportunity to act."

"It's so good." Then he ordered people to go down and arrange everything.After a while, the banquet began.When Liu Bei walked into the inner hall, he saw that all the civil and military officials had already sat down in turn.Liu Bei occupies the main position, and the two sons are on the left and right.Zhao Yun stood beside Liu Bei, watching the people present.

After a while, a general invited Zhao Yun to a banquet outside the hall.But Zhao Yun couldn't refuse.Seeing this, Liu Bei knew that it was not very good for him to stand beside him holding a sword all the time, besides, there were so many officials watching.So let Zhao Yun also go to the table.Zhao Yun thought about this, so he followed the general and walked out.After some conversation, Zhao Yun knew that the general was called Wenpin, and he was Cai Mao's general.

Zhao Yun looked into the hall while toasting with them.At this time, Zuo Long and Zhao Fan came back.Zhao Yun pretended to go to have a rest.Then ask them what's going on outside.Zuo Long replied that both the east gate and the south gate were guarded by Cai's people.Zhao Fan also said that the north gate was also guarded by Cai's people, only the west gate was allowed to pass through, but that gate led to Tanxi, which was a dead end.

Zhao Yun heard the words and knew that the situation was not good, so he hurried to the inner hall.At this time, I saw vaguely armored soldiers moving around in the inner hall.Zhao Yun knew that Liu Bei was in danger, so he rushed in, but Liu Bei was nowhere to be seen.Zhao Yun regretted that he made a big mistake by being negligent for a while.So he asked Liu Qi where Liu Bei had gone.

Liu Qi returned and said, "Uncle said to go in and change clothes and then come out." Hearing this, Zhao Yun walked towards the guest room in the back hall.But there is no trace of Liu Bei, and even Lu Ma is gone.Zhao Yun knew that Liu Bei must have gone out of the city, so he walked towards the west gate.

It turned out that when Liu Bei was drinking, Yi Ji suddenly came to toast.Then he whispered to Liu Bei that Cai Mao and others wanted to harm him, and told him to leave here quickly.After hearing this, Liu Bei pretended to tell everyone to go down and change clothes.After retreating, Liu Bei hurried to the backyard to ride his Luma and headed towards the west gate.
