The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 503 502 Jingzhou Storm (14)

That night, Yuan Huan did not attack Liu Biao, but let Liu Biao spend the whole night quietly.In addition, Yuan Huan also sent people to notify He Yi, Liu Pi, He Man and others who were rushing here, asking them to postpone the action.

Tonight, Yuan Huan must actively deploy defenses to be sure that nothing will go wrong, which has become a sleepless night for him.

However, tonight is also Cai Mao's sleepless night. Cai Mao is looking forward to tomorrow's day very much. He has already made arrangements. As soon as Liu Biao dies, he will lead an army to attack Pingyu City and take Yuan Huan and others killed them all to avoid future troubles.

Cai Mao couldn't restrain his inner excitement, and also believed that this matter must be a success, so he immediately invited Cai Zhong, Cai He, Zhang Yun and others to drink in the big tent to celebrate tomorrow's success.

……

At the same time, Wei Yan, who was sent by Zhang Yun, had arrived in Jiangxia, met Liu Qi, and presented Liu Qi with a letter from Liu Biao that Cai Mao forged.

After Liu Qi opened the wax-sealed letter and read it quickly, he frowned immediately, and his eyes showed incomparable panic. Even his hand holding the letter was trembling, his face was pale, and his mouth Li kept muttering: "Impossible, it is absolutely impossible for my father to do this...impossible..."

Sima Yi who was standing beside Liu Qi, seeing Liu Qi's appearance, knew that there must be something important written in the letter, otherwise, Liu Qi would never have become so panic-stricken.

Sima Yi stretched out his hand to catch the letter that fell from Liu Qi's hand, his sharp eyes glanced at the contents of the letter as quickly as possible, and he was also taken aback.

In this letter from Liu Biao, Liu Qi counted several major crimes committed by Cai in the past, and asked Liu Qi to commit suicide as an apology...

Liu Qi is Liu Biao's own son, and Liu Biao has placed high hopes on Liu Qi. How could Liu Qi suddenly commit suicide without warning?Moreover, now is the critical moment for Liu Biao to go on an expedition, and Liu Biao still needs Liu Qi to contain Lujiang's troops.

Sima Yi's mind wandered around quickly, and he immediately saw the flaw, and immediately shouted to Wen Pin and Li Tong who were standing on both sides of the hall: "Tie Wei Yan to me!"

Wen Pin and Li Tong have been standing by for orders. After hearing Sima Yi's cry, they immediately grabbed the dangerous arms. Can't break free.

Simply, Wei Yan stopped moving, and hurriedly said to Sima Yi: "What crime have I committed? You want to tie me up like this?"

"Bold madman, you still have the guts to cry out here, drag it out and chop it!" Sima Yi said angrily.

When Wei Yan heard that Sima Yi was going to kill him, he immediately became nervous and exerted all his strength to attack him suddenly. Wen Pin and Li Tong were caught off guard, but Wei Yan broke free. The laxative lost its center of gravity and fell forward.

At the same time, Wei Yan took a few steps back in an instant, and with a "shua", he pulled out the sword in his waist, glared at Sima Yi with a ferocious face, and shouted: "I am here as a messenger to deliver a letter. I don’t know what it’s about, but you actually want to kill me?”

Seeing that Wei Yan showed his weapon, Wen Pin and Li Tong also immediately pulled out the sword from their waists. The two of them, one on the left and the other on the right, stared at Wei Yan covetously.At the same time, the guards outside the gate also rushed in with weapons in hand, surrounding Wei Yan.

Wei Yan saw that the enemy was outnumbered, and the opponents were all staring at him. He probably wanted to put himself to death.Wei Yan couldn't help scolding: "Damn it, no wonder Cai Mao is willing to serve me as a captain. If I knew this was the case, even if I were a general, I wouldn't mind coming here!"

When Sima Yi heard Wei Yan's complaint, his eyes suddenly lit up. Just as Wen Pin, Li Tong and others were about to make a move, Sima Yi stopped him and hurriedly asked, "What did you just say? Who told you to come?" of?"

"Cai Mao!" Wei Yan said decisively.

When Sima Yi heard Cai Mao's name, he turned his head and glanced at Liu Qi, and saw that Liu Qi also had a suspicious expression on his face, and his face also changed. He went straight forward and said to Wei Yan: "You said just now that Cai Mao sent you here. ?”

Wei Yan nodded heavily, and said: "Cai Mao said, this is a letter from Shijun Liu, let me send it. If it wasn't for Zhang Yun, I would never have agreed to this matter. Your letter delivery will become like this. If I had known this was the case, I would never have come."

What Wei Yan said was the truth, Zhang Yun was kind to him, and it was Zhang Yun who said this, in order to make Wei Yan meritorious.However, Zhang Yun didn't say anything about Cai Mao's plan, let alone that the letter he sent was forged.

Therefore, Wei Yan didn't know the contents of the letter at all, let alone believed that Zhang Yun would harm him.And if someone really wants to kill him, that person must be Cai Mao.For this reason, Wei Yan vented all his anger on Cai Mao. Anyway, he and Cai Mao had had some unhappiness, and Cai Mao had dismissed him from his previous official position. Now that it was a critical moment of life and death, he told the truth.

In this way, Liu Qi and Sima Yi had a clue in their minds. This must be a poisonous plan that Cai Mao came up with to frame Liu Qi, and Wei Yan seemed to be just an innocent person who was used by Cai Mao.

Now that the matter is clear, there is no need for Sima Yi to kill Wei Yan, so Sima Yi ordered Wenpin, Li Tong and others to get out of the way. He went straight to Wei Yan and asked, "Excuse me, what is your surname?"

"My surname is Wei, my name is Yan, and I am from Yiyang." Wei Yan replied truthfully.

Sima Yi asked: "Zhang Yun is Cai Mao's right-hand man. You said just now that you came to deliver the letter because of Zhang Yun. May I ask what is your relationship with Zhang Yun?"

"I was originally Zhang Yun's subordinate. Later, because I failed to perform a mission, I was dismissed by Cai Mao and wanted to kill me. Fortunately, Zhang Yun pleaded for me, and later took care of me at home. Speaking of it, He also has a little kindness for me. I didn't want to come this time, but Zhang Yun said that this matter is very important, and he can't find another person to do it. He insisted on letting me come. In desperation, I did this Bite the bullet and come here, probably to repay him." Wei Yan said in an orderly manner.

"So, not only do you have nothing to do with Cai Mao, but you also have a festival?" Sima Yi said.

Wei Yan nodded and said, "You can put it that way."

After Sima Yi asked Wei Yan about it, he said respectfully to Liu Qi: "My lord, it seems that Wei Yan was only used by Cai Mao. The one who really wants to kill the eldest son is not the lord, but Cai Mao. And Cai Mao dared to make a move at this juncture. This kind of thing must be done behind the back of the lord, which can be described as daring. Besides, I also believe that Cai Mao must be plotting something..."

Speaking of this, Sima Yi didn't go any further. He was afraid that Liu Qi would not be able to accept his speculation. Based on his opinion of Cai Mao, the reason why Cai Mao dared to do this this time must be that he had made sufficient preparations, and Liu Biao was very likely to There will be unexpected events.

It's just that Sima Yi didn't dare to tell Liu Qi, fearing that after he told Liu Qi, Liu Qi would get confused because he was worried about Liu Biao's safety.

Liu Qi said angrily: "If Cai Mao is not eliminated, Jingzhou will never have peace, and he even extended his claws to me. Military teacher, is there any way to get rid of him as soon as possible?"

"Yes!" Sima Yi replied straightforwardly, "It's just to see if the eldest son dares to do it!"

"Cai Mao is already thinking about killing me, why should I not dare?" Liu Qi said.

Sima Yi said: "Since the eldest son has such thoughts, there is nothing to be afraid of. Now that Cai Mao is in the territory of Runan with the lord, and the soldiers and horses he brings are all Cai Mao's direct troops, so the Xiangyang and Jiangling areas that Cai Mao is occupying The whole area has become a place with no troops. Now the Eldest Young Master has an army of [-]. If the Eldest Young Master can lead the [-] army to attack Xiangyang and uproot Cai Mao's power, then Cai Mao will not cause any harm to the Eldest Young Master. any threat."

Liu Qi frowned and asked: "We only have [-] troops. If we take all of them away to attack Xiangyang, then Jiangxia will be empty, so wouldn't the enemy army be able to take advantage of it?"

Sima Yi said: "You don't have to worry about this young master. Naturally, when we go to Xiangyang this time, we will not take away all the soldiers and horses, but the best soldiers and strong generals. Those who remain can continue to bluff. In this way, the enemy will not be able to tell the truth from the truth. , did not dare to move, and our army can march towards Xiangyang swaggeringly to uproot Cai's power."

"But, in what name are we going to Xiangyang? What should I do if my father finds out?" Liu Qi's indecisive character was once again highlighted. He was afraid of wolves before and tigers later.

Before Sima Yi could open his mouth, Wei Yan said: "Cai Mao never hesitates when doing things, he never cares about the consequences, he always does things first, and then thinks about solutions, and he often falsely passes on the orders of the lord. The eldest son is the eldest son of the lord. If the eldest son says that there is a secret order from the lord, others will believe it. Why don't the eldest son also pass on a fake order, go to Xiangyang first, get rid of Cai's influence, and then talk about other things."

Sima Yi said: "What Wei Yan said is quite right. If the eldest son is always afraid of wolves in the front and tigers in the back, how will he convince the public if he does anything in the future?"

Liu Qi said: "Okay, then let's do what we say, immediately mobilize troops and go to Xiangyang, take this opportunity to uproot Cai's power."

Sima Yi said: "Young Master, don't be in a hurry. Before going to Xiangyang, there are still a few things to do. We must make sure arrangements before we can leave here."

Liu Qi said: "Then all of this depends on the arrangement of the military advisor. You can do whatever you want, and you don't need to report to me. As long as you can uproot Cai's power, I will listen to the military advisor."

"If you want to get rid of the Cai family, count me in. I still have a little feud with Cai Mao." Wei Yan said suddenly.

Sima Yi saw that Wei Yan was also a man of temperament, so he nodded to Wei Yan, and then asked people to summon civil and military officials to prepare for a big fight in Jingzhou, causing a bloody storm.
