Rebirth of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

"Open the city gate." Seeing the anxious expression on the son Liu Qi's face, E Huan felt the urgency of the matter, and shouted to the gate tower with his hands. A guard hastily lowered the bridge, and the city gate opened.

E Huan took out a piece of silk from his bosom, and handed it to an older soldier named Lao You in front of the door, and told Lao You to send the silk to the Cai Mansion when the sun reflected on the moat, and E Huan handed it to the soldier. It was the letter of resignation written by Chen Wendai. The letter was full of humility such as thanking General Cai Mao for his support, and saying goodbye because of his mother's critical illness.

"Brothers, there will be a time later." E Huan cupped his fist towards the gate tower, holding Fang Tianji, and strode into Liu Qi's carriage.

Liu Qi presented E Huan with a pair of iron armor that had been prepared, and only said: "General E, put it on."

E Huan took the iron armor, moved in his heart, and nodded heavily: "Thank you, young master." He took off the tiger jacket and leopard skirt, threw it on the ground, and happily put on the iron armor.

Chen Wen shook the reins violently, yelled "Drive", and galloped the horses. The four carriages quickly left the city and drove towards Jiangling in the starry night.

Laoyou, an elderly soldier who received E Huan's letter of resignation, pulled up the bridge and closed the city gate. He watched Liu Qi's carriage leaving the city and gradually disappeared into the night. When the opportunity came, he held the silk tightly in his hands, and before the sun rose, he immediately turned around and ran to inform Cai's mansion.

……

Zhonglang general Cai Mao's mansion, when Liu Qi left the city, Cai Mao was snoring like thunder.Tanma, who was monitoring Liu Qi's mansion, rushed to Cai's mansion in the middle of the night to report to the guards. The guards yelled a few times, but they didn't wake up.

Tan Ma said that the military situation was urgent, and there was no time to delay. The guards were anxious for a moment, and they were quick-witted. At the door of Cai Mao's bedroom, he knocked hard on the door frame with the hilt of his sword. Hearing a bang, Cai Mao really woke up with a start, and jumped up from the bed. , in a daze, pulled out the saber placed above the pillow, and shouted "Who?"

The guard blinked at Tanma, and saw Tanma cross the threshold, kneel down on one knee, and said in a long voice, "Report——."

Cai Mao looked through the dim oil lamp and saw that it was Tan Ma. Although he was displeased, he was surprised. Tan Ma came to report late at night, and there must be a major military situation. Immediately, he put his sword on the bed, sat in front of the bed, and looked down: "speak."

"General, Young Master Liu Qi assembled four carriages, accompanied by eleven armored men, and headed for the west city gate in the middle of the night."

"Leaving the city in the middle of the night? What happened to the soldiers?"

"The two hundred soldiers stationed in front of the son's mansion have not moved, and there are no other abnormalities."

"Explore again."

"Yes." Tanma left in a hurry. Hearing Liu Qi's words, Cai Mao felt resentful. Ever since he ordered people to monitor Liu Qi's mansion 24 hours a day, he found that Liu Qi was acting strangely. The guards in the mansion were murderous. Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng were all beheaded, and killed more than 200 bandits and thieves who followed Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng. Although the deaths of Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng were not heartbreaking, they had learned Liu Qi's resourcefulness and ruthlessness. Hot Cai Mao, he no longer dares to underestimate the sick son Liu Qi, now that Liu Qi is out of town late at night, Cai Mao really doesn't understand what Liu Qi is singing again?

"Quickly pass on Pang Ji to the mansion." Cai Mao ordered the guards, hoping that Pang Ji could understand Liu Qi's intention of going out of the city at midnight.

The guard had to order a quick horse to invite Pang Ji, and in just one stick of incense, Pang Ji came to see Cai Mao overnight in disheveled clothes.

When he came to the small hall outside Cai Mao's bedchamber, Pang Ji was still sleepy, obviously lacking in sleep. When he saw Cai Mao, he gave a long salute in fear: "Meet the general."

"Sit down." Cai Mao looked at Pang Ji, and said coldly, "Traveling the horse to report, Liu Qi brought a dozen guards, assembled four carriages, and hurried to the west gate in the middle of the night, and the two hundred soldiers in Liu Qi's mansion Didn't move, why is that?"

"Going out of the city at midnight? To the west gate?" Pang Ji muttered to himself, as if he was thinking about Cai Mao's question, but he was very upset. There must be something wrong with Liu Qi going out of the city overnight. As for what, you Cai Mao don't know, I Pang Ji Can you know?I'm not a roundworm in Liu Qi's stomach, so don't ask me if you ask me.

Although Pang Ji was unhappy in his heart, he still had to try to calm down on the face. After thinking for a while, he compiled a few reasons first, and replied in a low voice: "E Huan is stationed at the west city gate. Although this person is not good-looking, he behaves dullly. , without the general's password, I'm afraid I can't leave the city."

Cai Hao was very helpless: "What password is needed now? Liu Qi is in Jingzhou and don't drive. Because of E Huan's rigid behavior, there is no obstacle for Liu Qi to leave the city at any time. How high is Liu Qi's official rank, and E Huan will let him go. Could it be that Longshan is causing bandits? Liu Qi took advantage of the night to nest with bandits?"

Pang Ji shook his head: "How could it be possible to suppress the bandits with four carriages without two hundred soldiers? Liu Qi is not stupid."

Cai Mao said: "That's right, Liu Qi's actions are becoming more and more unpredictable, what tricks are he playing?"

"Oh..." Pang Ji said aloud, suddenly his eyes lit up, and said: "If Liu Qi didn't take advantage of the night to suppress the bandits, he would have to pass through Longshan. If Liu Qi went out of the city at night and crossed Longshan, he would be dead."

"Pang Gong means to mobilize [-] defenders outside the city to set up an ambush on the Longshan path, and take advantage of his weakness to shoot at random arrows in the night?" Cai Mao heard that Liu Qi could be killed.

"The defenders outside the city are stationed at Hutou Mountain opposite the main city gate. It is too late to dispatch troops to Longshan to set up an ambush. Besides, even if Liu Qi can be encircled and suppressed in Longshan, the defenders may be killed or injured. If Liu Qi dies in Longshan outside Xiangyang City, my lord If you blame it, the general may not be able to get away with it."

"Then there's no way to deal with Liu Qi? Do we have to let Liu Qi's younger generation run wild?" Cai Mao was discouraged again. This Liu Qi was really annoying and hateful. Cai Mao became restless and his blood pressure rose.

"No." Pang Ji got up, took a few steps forward, and said flatteringly: "Think about it, general, although I don't understand the purpose of Liu Qizi's going out of the city at night to cross Longshan, but the only way to pass through Longshan is in the northwest direction. The northwest of Longshan is Nanyang and Nanyang is governed by Nanyang, where General Wenpin is stationed, if Liu Qi goes to Nanyang, how can General Wen spare Liu Qi who killed dozens of people in Wenjiazhuang?

"Well, it makes sense." Cai Mao gradually smiled, and the scene of Wenpin's thousands of troops trampling Liu Qi into meat sauce came to mind.

Seeing Cai Mao's face turned happy, Pang Ji felt much more relieved, and then said: "If Liu Qi doesn't go to Nanyang, he will go to Nanjun. The general is also the prefect of Nanjun. Liu Qi went to Nanjun alone in danger. The general wanted to arrest and bring a dozen guards. , Liu Qi who only took four carriages, isn't he holding the snails with three fingers, and he is sure?"

"Haha, Mr. Pang is still resourceful." Cai Mao smiled arrogantly, and drew out a command arrow, "Mr. Pang, send the order quickly."

Cai Mao shouted excitedly to the guards at the gate, thinking that if Liu Qi doesn't come to Nanjun, let's go, if he arrives in Nanjun, Cai Mao will set up a net to wait for Liu Qi to drill.

"Report." Cai Mao didn't have time to send the order, and the guards in front of the gate of Cai's mansion rushed to report.

"speak."

"There is a guard at the west gate who claims to be Lao You, saying that he has important military information and needs to report it to the general."

"Oh... the guards at the west gate?" The west gate is where Liu Qi left the city. Cai Mao froze for a moment, then straightened his body and said excitedly, "Come here, please."

"Yes." The guard was ordered to leave, and after a while, he saw the guard brought a year-old soldier over, and the soldier was the city gate guard Lao You whom E Huan trusted.

"The villain Lao You sees General Cai." The guard Lao You, who was running out of breath, pinched the silk silk with his hands, did not dare to look at Cai Mao, suppressed his excitement, and knelt down to pay homage in fear, calling Lao You, in order to deepen his understanding. In Cai Mao's impression, Lao You is not a nobody.

"Oh, Lao You...what's the matter?" Seeing the sweaty guard, Cai Mao took his time and put on airs.

"In fact, the military situation is urgent, and I visited late at night, and I hope General Cai will forgive me." The old soldier sent E Huan's resignation letter, "General E left a letter, and he left the city with his son Liu Qi, and went to Longshan in four carriages. Before leaving, General E asked me to hand over the letter to the general three poles before sunrise, because the villain was afraid of making mistakes and dared not delay, so I reported it overnight."

"Oh..." Hearing the guard's words, Cai Mao received E Huan's resignation letter, browsed it roughly, and threw the silk on the ground angrily. No, because the ugly E Huan followed him out of the city.

Cai Hao is so angry, Liu Qi is really not a good bird, killing Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng, the subordinates of the dignified general, and abducting the city gate guard E Huan today, it is a great shame.

The guard Laoyou felt Cai Mao's anger, so he knew that the letter was delivered in time, and he was complacent. E Huan had already left the city, and I am afraid that Lao You would have to take the post of E Huan's supervisor.

"Old man?" Cai Mao was filled with indignation, looking at the kneeling guards and asked.

"Exactly." The guard, Lao You, was excited, raised his head, and waited for Cai Mao to award him.

"From now on, you don't have to guard the city gate anymore, and you can take two taels of silver and go home to farm." Cai Mao glanced at the guard in disgust, and waved his hand, hoping that the guard would disappear immediately, and he didn't want to look at him any more. A city gate guard who seeks rewards for informants.

"Yes." The guard Lao You reluctantly responded, and slowly got up, staggering, the guard was shocked by Cai Mao's cruel decision, this whistleblower not only failed to be promoted, but even laid off himself, what's wrong with this world Well.

When the city gate guard who claimed to be Lao You left, Pang Ji asked in puzzlement, "Why didn't the general reward the soldier named Lao You instead of punishing him?"

Cai Mao sighed: "Oh, what's the use of keeping such an untrustworthy and dishonest person who sells friends for glory? What's the use of rewarding him? Slandering and flattery - this trend can't last long."

"The general is enlightened." Pang Ji's face became hot when he heard it, and he carefully complimented him, secretly praising Cai Mao's ability to know and employ people, and he really has the bearing of a general.

Cai Mao smiled indifferently, handed the command arrow in his hand to Pang Ji, and said solemnly: "Mr. Pang, hurry up to make arrangements. Before Liu Qi, send orders to the seven counties of the ten countries, set up heavy guards at the pass along the way, and set up a net. If Liu Qi arrives in Denan County, He must go and never return."

Pang Ji took the arrow and replied loudly: "Yes."

"Liu Qi was born under the order. If there is any resistance, he will be shot to death." Cai Mao was worried, and added another sentence.

"Yes." Pang Ji replied loudly again, and received the order from Ling Jianji's infantry battalion, thinking that it was time to avenge the dead Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng.
