Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 527 Liu Bei Zuo King Chu

"retreat!"

Seeing that he had succeeded, Guan Hai immediately ordered to retreat.

The soldiers next to Liu Qi were in a hurry to check Liu Qi's injuries.

After trying Liu Qi's breath, everyone shook their heads, and then someone said: "The eldest son is dead! What should we do!"

"Let's go find General Wang Wei and General Wenpin!"

someone suggested.

"Go, go, go!"

Everyone hurriedly carried Liu Qi's body, which had been shot into a hedgehog, to Wang Wei's side...

"My lord, we succeeded, Liu Qi has been shot!"

Guan Hai reported to Liu Beihui.

"it is good!"

Liu Bei nodded, and then nodded to Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei led hundreds of his own soldiers and surrounded the two hundred people who shot Liu Qi just now.

"kill!"

With Zhang Fei's order, his own soldiers attacked and beheaded the two hundred people here.

The two hundred soldiers were unprepared. They thought that Liu Bei would reward them for completing the task, but they didn't expect that Liu Bei's butcher's knife was waiting for them.

After two hundred soldiers were beheaded, Guan Hai came to his senses, knelt down in front of Liu Bei, and said, "My lord, we have really shot Liu Qi, how dare I lie to my lord!"

Liu Bei helped Guan Hai up, and then said: "Hehe, you don't have to panic, you are my confidant, I believe you will not tell the matter, but they may not be sure, only the dead will not leak the news , so they must die!"

Guan Hai hurriedly replied: "Master, even if I die, I will not reveal anything about tonight's events!"

"I'm sure you won't say it!"

Liu Bei nodded, and then ordered to march towards Chu Palace.

At the same time, Wenpin and Wang Wei gathered to discuss Liu Qi's death.

Wenpin said to Wang Wei: "Do you think this is a personal thing?"

Wang Wei thought for a moment, then said, "I suspect Liu Bei did it!"

After Wang Wei finished speaking, Wen Pin shook his head and said, "Impossible. If Liu Bei kills the eldest son, he will not get any of the benefits that the eldest son promised him. It may be that Cai Mao is unwilling to fail. What the remaining killers did!"

In fact, Wenpin also suspects that Liu Bei did it, but his blindness does not allow him to doubt Liu Bei, because Liu Bei's [-] troops are also in the city. If they turn against Liu Bei and ask Liu Bei, Liu Bei will probably order to fight against them. Let's go to war, and their coach Liu Qi is dead, their morale is not stable, how can they be Liu Bei's opponents, instead of fighting Liu Bei and letting Cai Mao return to Xiangyang again, it is better to sit down with Liu Bei and talk about how to deal with Jingzhou's government affairs .

Because once Cai Mao came back, they would have no way out. Although they were loyal to Liu Biao and Liu Qi, but now that both of them are dead, there is no need for them to take their lives.

After the two discussed it, Wenpin ordered someone to invite Liu Bei to the Chu Palace to discuss matters.

"Two generals, I heard something happened to the Eldest Young Master. I don't know how the Eldest Young Master is doing now!"

After Liu Bei came to the palace, he asked.

When Liu Bei asked this question, both Wenpin and Wang Wei lowered their heads. After a while, Wenpin raised his head and said, "Uncle Liu Huang, the eldest son was killed by the rebel army left by Cai Mao. Now he has gone to follow the former king!"

"what?"

Liu Bei pretended to be shocked, and looked straight at Wenpin. After a while, Liu Bei said, "Then I can't stay here anymore. After all, Liu Qi is dead, and it's meaningless for me to be here. The two generals are witnesses, Liu Qi promised me that I will help him take Xiangyang, and he will hand over the land north of the Xiangjiang River to me! I hope you will not go back on your word!"

After speaking, Liu Bei turned around and left.

Seeing that Liu Bei was about to leave, he didn't show any intention of staying in Xiangyang. Wen Pin and Wang Wei also dispelled the idea that Liu Bei would assassinate Liu Qi, and hurriedly stopped him: "Uncle Liu Huang!"

Liu Bei stopped.Turning around to look at the two of them, he asked, "What else is there for you two! Could it be that you want to go back on your word?"

Liu Bei pretended to be angry and glared at Wenpin and Wang Wei.

The two said to Liu Bei in embarrassment: "Uncle Huang, don't misunderstand, we two have important matters to discuss with Uncle Huang!"

Liu Bei didn't sit down either, but said, "What else is there? Tell me quickly, I have to recover the land that Liu Qi promised me!"

Wenpin said: "There is no rush, we want to let the emperor stay in Xiangyang!"

"What? What am I doing here?"

Liu Bei asked.

"Uncle Huang, now that the Eldest Prince is dead, Xiangyang must be in chaos, and the two of us are generals who don't understand government affairs, so please ask Uncle Huang to stay here to handle government affairs!"

Wenpin asked to stay.

How could Liu Bei agree, but Wenpin and Wang Wei repeatedly tried to persuade him to stay, so Liu Bei couldn't continue to refuse, so he said, "It's fine for me to stay here, but now the eldest son is dead, and the position of king of Chu is vacant!"

Hearing Liu Bei's words, Wenpin and Wang Wei couldn't help but frowned, looked at each other, and asked, "Could it be that Uncle Huang wants the position of King of Chu?"

Liu Bei reprimanded immediately: "How can you two be so rude! How can I spy on this king of Chu! I mean who are you two going to let succeed the king of Chu?"

Wenpin and Wang Wei knew that they had misunderstood Liu Bei, and Wenpin hurriedly said, "Except for the eldest son Liu Qi and the second son Liu Zong, the old prince has no other heirs!"

"No!"

Wang Wei opened his mouth and said: "Everyone thinks that the prince has only two sons, but in fact there is another one who was born to a maidservant in the prince's house. His surname is Liu Mingxiu, but he has been weak and sick since he was a child and lives in the countryside!"

Liu Bei shook his head, and said, "This man was born of a maidservant, and An Neng will inherit the throne. Now that Cai Mao has escaped, he cannot monopolize power. So in my opinion, let the second son Liu Zong be the king of Chu!"

"This! That's fine, it's all up to the emperor!"

Wenpin and Wang Wei saluted Liu Bei.

"You guys go down to collect the soldiers and horses first, and appease the people, I will go to the back hall of the palace to meet the prince (Liu Zong)!"

Liu Bei said to Wenpin and Wang Wei.

After thinking for a while, Liu Bei said again: "By the way, let my second and third brothers follow you to the barracks!"

Liu Bei's meaning is obvious, it's fine to stay here, but Liu Bei also wants military power.

Wenpin and Wang Wei also knew what Liu Bei meant. Liu Bei wanted military power, so how could they not give it to him?

The two did not dare to disobey Liu Bei, so they went down to work.

And Liu Bei turned around and went to the back hall of the palace.

When he came to the back hall of the palace, Liu Bei saw the young prince Liu Zong and Mrs. Cai. Liu Bei explained the situation, and Mrs. Cai and Liu Zong also had to accept their fate.

Liu Bei couldn't help but twitch his index finger when he saw that Mrs. Cai was in her late teens.Let Liu Zong go down first, and then said to Mrs. Cai: "Madam, now the whole of Xiangyang is in my hands. If you, mother and son, still want to enjoy the glory and wealth, you must listen to me!"

Mrs. Cai looked at Liu Bei's fiery eyes, and what she said in conjunction with Liu Bei, how could she not know what Liu Bei meant.Originally, she wanted to be a chaste woman, but when she thought that Liu Bei's life and her son's life were in Liu Bei's hands, she would die if she died, but as a mother, how could she let her son have an accident, so she nodded.

Seeing that Mrs. Cai had followed him, Liu Bei stayed in the palace for the night.
