Chapter 788 Jingzhou Rebellion

"Lord, the Kui brothers have left Xinye. Cai Dekui's army is coming soon, and we still need to prepare early.

Zhuge Liang's face was flat. Looking at the strong army of 20,000 soldiers and horses gradually moving away, he whispered to Liu Bei beside him. Liu Bei nodded slightly and looked indifferent, as if he was not afraid of Cai Mao's army, and replied calmly.

"What the military division said is very true. If Cai Dekui can be captured in one fell swoop in this battle, everything will be fine!"

After talking outside the gate for a while, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang rushed back to the city. The backs of the two gradually mixed and merged into one place, as if a dragon shadow appeared, which was very strange.

About ten days later, Cai Mao led a group of confidants and soldiers in the realm of Wuling, looking far away. A few days ago, Cai Mao learned from the soldiers that Liu Bei had received the order to hand over 20,000 soldiers and horses to the Kwa Brothers. After Cai Mao learned about it, although he was happy, he wanted to be resourceful. Before he saw these 20,000 soldiers and horses returning to Wuling with his own eyes, he would never dare to act rashly. According to the time, if there is no accident, the Kuai brothers should lead the army to the realm of Wuling at this time.

Cai Mao waited for a long time, but there was still no movement in the distance, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious. At this moment, suddenly there were several soldiers around him calling.

"Here we go!! There will be a lot of wind and dust ten miles ahead, and most of the soldiers and horses will come!!!"

Cai Mao's face condensed when he heard the words, and he looked at it quickly. I saw the wind and dust ten miles away, and gradually the sound of horseshoes, footsteps, and the vibration of soldiers rose in unison. Cai Mao hurriedly prepared the surroundings and guarded against the attack.

Soon after, a team of fast riders rushed to it. Cai Mao recognized the general who led the army, and he was one of the generals of Jingzhou who stationed in Xinye with the army the year before last. The general rushed to Cai Mao's front, disarmed and reported that the soldiers and horses in front of Cai Mao were the 20,000 troops led by the Kuai brothers from Liu Bei.

When I was young, the wind and sand were small, and the banners fluttered. The Kuai brothers got off their horses and rushed to Cai Mao to make a bow. After the report, Cai Mao laughed loudly, as if to see the scene of Xinye City being swallowed up by his army, Liu Bei being killed, and Zhuge Liang being captured by him.

At this time, Deng Yi looked around for a long time, and suddenly his face changed, and he whispered a few words in Cai Mao's ear. After listening to this, Cai Mao frowned and asked the Kuai brothers.

"Two Lords, why don't you see the eldest son in the army?"

As soon as Kuai Yue heard it, he said the words he had already prepared to Cai Mao.

"Recommation to General Cai. When my brother arrived in Xinye, I asked the big-eared thief where the eldest son was. The big-eared thief said that the eldest son will live in Xinye from the future. My two brothers sent someone to explore the city of Shinno, but there was no information about the eldest son. Maybe the eldest son really didn't go to Xinye. Maybe it was the big-eared thief who deliberately concealed it and hid the eldest son in private.

Cai Mao listened and sneered. Even if Liu Bei had the intention to hide Liu Qi, when he broke through Xinye City, Liu Qi could not escape death.

For Cai Mao, Liu Bei is the biggest threat. As long as Liu Bei is solved, the weak Liu Qi can't sing alone, and he can't turn over any ups and downs.

After Cai Mao thought about it, he no longer pay attention to this matter. He ordered his confidant soldiers around him to take over the deployment of the 20,000 soldiers and horses led by the Kai brothers. After the rectification, he led a group of soldiers and horses back to Wuling.

Liu Bei returned 20,000 soldiers and horses to Jingzhou. At present, the new field troops are empty. The so-called skillful woman can't cook without rice. Even if Zhuge Liang has great ability and no soldiers, he is like a tiger that has been plucked out of his claws, which can be slaughtered by others.

A few days later, Cai Mao faked a will and announced that Liu Biao had passed away, and ordered his second son Liu Kang to be the lord of Jingzhou according to his will. At present, in the Hall of Hanshou County, the officials of Jingzhou were in an uproar, and everyone's faces were complicated. Li Hui, the curtain officer, suddenly came out and shouted harshly.

"Since ancient times, the abolition of the long and the young, there will be a disaster. In the past, because of this, the Yuan family was destroyed by Cao Cao, and the foundation was destroyed. Today, you can urgently send a letter of mourning to Jiangxia. Please ask the eldest son to be the lord of Jingzhou and order Uncle Liu to be a director together. The north can defeat Cao Cao, and the south can resist Sun Ce. This is the perfect strategy. I hope that the second son will not be greedy for a while, so that the predecessor's foundation will be ruined!"

As soon as Li Hui said this, the faces of the officials in the hall suddenly changed again. Several people wanted to stop talking and wanted to agree, but when they saw Cai Mao's cold sneer next to Liu Cong, they immediately stopped thinking and dared not look at each other.

Cai Mao's eyes widened, secretly observing the expressions of the people in the hall, and then stepped out, pointing his finger to Li Kui and shouting angrily.

"Who are you, dare to talk nonsense against the Lord's will! Now that the second son has just ascended the throne, you will immediately object. Li Wei, you are going to rebel!!!?"

Li Kui listened to Cai Mao, a traitor and rebellious minister, and dared to say that he rebelled. He was furious and cursed angrily.

"Cai Deyu!! Everyone in Jingzhou knows what you intend to do, pretending to be a will, abolishing the long and young, what you want to do! In the past, you have murdered Uncle Liu many times, for fear that it will become a big trouble for you. Now that the emperor has just passed away, and the other side of you has falsely issued an order to take back Uncle Liu's soldiers and horses, which is really his heart to kill! Seeing the nine counties of Jingxiang, it was sent to the hands of the Cai family! Therefore, if the Lord has a spirit, he will take you!

All colleagues, you are deeply grateful to the ancestors. Seeing that Cai's only hand covers the sky, such as the tyrannical Qin Zhao Gao, how can you sit back and protect your whole body alone! Under the nine springs of his day, what kind of face do you have to face the spirit of the emperor!!"

Li Hui shouted angrily, words and words, like a sharp knife stabbed in the hearts of a group of Jingzhou Wenwu. Cai Mao was furious and immediately ordered him to be cut off. Li Kui scolded endlessly until his death. Until the knife fell on his neck, he was still scolding Cai Mao for being rebellious and dying.

A knife fell, followed by the sound of the head falling to the ground. There was a dead silence in the hall, and no one dared to say anything. Liucong's face was pale. Looking at his Highness's ministers being so afraid of Cai Mao, suddenly he did not feel an indescribable sadness in his heart.

So Cai Mao set up Liu Zong as the master. The Cai clan, who led the soldiers of Jingzhou, ordered Deng Yi to rule Zhong and not drive Liu Xian to guard Jingzhou. Liu Biao's coffin was buried in the east of Xiangyang City.

The Cai family is rampant, as if the whole Jingzhou is under his control. On the same day, Cai Mao ordered Liu Hong to issue a decree, declare Liu Bei's ten crimes, and notify all counties in Jingzhou. Under the accusation of these ten crimes, Liu Bei, who was unparalleled in kindness and righteousness, immediately became a treacherous traitor who committed many evils and unforgivable evils. Most of the people in Jingzhou did not believe it. Many of them shouted injustice for Liu Bei, but all over Jingzhou were full of Cai's eyes. Those who shouted injustice for Liu Bei were captured by the Cai clan, who imposed the crime of traitors, and secretly dealt with it. So the people of Jingzhou dared not say anything, and the people of Jingzhou were panicked.

At this time, Cai Mao rose up and made Deng Yi the first team and Liu Xian the second team. Fu Xun of Dong Cao was the third team, and Cai Mao led the generals of the fourth team, and each team led 20,000 troops. Song Zhong, the general, was appointed as a partial general and led 3,000 troops as the vanguard. Cai Mao ordered the generals to rectify the soldiers and horses, and they will send troops to the new field in the near future.

When Wang Can, the servant of Huangmen, heard about this, he quickly came to see Liu Chong and Cai Mao and gave him an smonish.

"Liu Bei is a relative of the Han Dynasty, and his benevolence and righteousness are all over the world. He is deeply loved by the people of Jingzhou. Today, General Cai is a righteous teacher and may lose the hope of the people of Jingzhou. I hope you can think twice!"

Liu Kang's face changed when he heard the words, so he looked at Cai Mao. Cai Mao looked cold. In order to stabilize Jingzhou, Liu Bei had to get rid of it. Moreover, because Liu Bei won the hearts of the people in Jingzhou, Cai Mao was extremely afraid, and it was imperative to send new troops. How can Cai Mao care about righteousness or injustice?

Although Wang Can is thin and short, he is a famous scholar in Jingzhou. It is said that when Wang Can was young, he saw Zhonglang Cai Yong. When Cai Yong was full of friends, he heard that Wang Can was coming and greeted him. The guests were shocked and asked, why does Cai Zhonglang respect this boy? Cai Yong smiled and said that this son has a talent, which is not as good as me.

Even Cai Yong, a literary crocodile, attaches so much importance to Wang Can, which shows how talented Wang Can is. Wang Canbo heard that no one was as good as him. Many famous scholars in Jingzhou did not believe it. Once there was one who tasted the inscription next to the road with Wang Can. The scholar suddenly asked about the inscription just now. Wang Can only looked at it and could recite it backwards. Once, Wang Can watched the game of chess, and the two of them made a mess in the chess game. Then they asked Wang Can if he could put it out. Wang Can was very plain, and he put it out again, not missing a son. At the same time, Wang Can is also good at arithmetic, and his words are wonderful. In the past, Liu Biao valued his talent and regarded Wang Can as a guest.

Wang Can is a famous man at the time. Cai Yu usually gives him three respects. Even if Wang Can has repeatedly accused Liu Biao of him, Cai Mao still treats him with courtesy. However, at this time, Wang Can hindered his great cause in unifying Jingzhou. How could Cai Mao tolerate it? At this time, he pointed to Wang Can and shouted angrily.

"Liu Bei is a minister who disobeys his life. In the past, when the predecessor was alive, he was already confused by evil words, secretly making profits, and wanted to plot against Jingzhou. At present, Zhuge's appearance is auxiliary, and his momentum is getting bigger and bigger. How can he be in a hurry to ask for it!"

"General Cai's words are wrong. Uncle Liu is benevolent and loves the people, and everything is based on the interests of Jingzhou. If it hadn't been for his life to defend Xinye and defeat 50,000 Cao's army, Jingzhou would have fallen into the hands of Cao Cao at this time! Jingzhou is deeply grateful to Uncle Liu. If he goes to the army to ask for it, it is not righteous!"

Wang Can immediately rejected it sharply. Cai Mao snorted coldly and said again.

"Do you not hear that in the past, Liu Bei treated each other with the courtesy of Tao Qian and Yuan Shao. Instead, Liu Bei secretly plotted to seize Xuzhou, and both generals of Yuan Shao died because of it! In this way, it can be seen that Liu Beishi is a hero in the world, and his superficial benevolence and righteousness are all hypocrisy!"

Wang Can's face changed. As soon as he was about to reprimand, he was scolded by Cai Mao. Cai Mao ordered left and right.

"If there is any re-adverence, it will be cut off!!!"

Wang Can was driven out of the house by soldiers and looked up to the sky and sighed.

"The evil minister has the power, but there are still few lords. Cai Deyu, so that if you are not benevolent, you will be invincible!"

When Cai Mao's family heard this, the guest had been humiliated by Wang Can and had been holding a grudge. He immediately reported to Cai Mao in private, and said that Wang Can usually insulted the general, and secretly said that the general was a scourge in Jingzhou.

Cai Mao was so angry that he ordered Lieutenant Ting to catch Wang Can. At that time, there were two friends in Wang Can's house, who were playing chess. Urgent report from left to right.

"Wang Can was taken by the lieutenant and will be beheaded! The two Ming Gong are just friends of Wang Can. Why don't you avoid them?

The two friends looked at each other, but smiled indifferently.

"Under the broken nest, is there a complete egg? We have a good relationship with Wang Can. Cai Dekui is narrow-minded. How can we tolerate it?

Before he said, the lieutenant came again. He took Wang Can's family and his two friends, all of whom were beheaded, and ordered Wang Can's body to be placed in the city. Wang Can usually made good friends, and they all came when they heard the news and cried. Cai Mao was furious when he heard this and wanted to kill him. Kakuen couldn't bear it and hurriedly advised. Wang Can is too straightforward, which is the way to bring disaster. Now his friend Wang Can died and cried. He is a righteous man and cannot be killed. Otherwise, the general will greatly reduce his reputation!"

Cai Mao didn't listen and still insisted on it. More than dozens of Wang Can's friends were all beheaded by Cai Mao. So far, Cai Mao has a bad reputation, and the officials and people in Jingzhou are all tyrannical and resentful about him.

Later, when Liu Cong heard that his uncle Cai Mao was so rampant, he woke up. Cai Mao made him the master, but regarded him as a puppet to better manipulate the power of Jingzhou. As soon as Liu Zong's parents passed away, they were betrayed by their close relatives. They were all lost. They indulged in alcohol and sex all day long and ignored political affairs.

Cai Mao is also very happy. When all the soldiers and horses are ready, they will send troops to Xinye on the sun. The vanguard Song Zhong led 3,000 cavalrymen first and came to Xinye.

At the same time, in Xinye City, there has been a detailed report that Cai Mao gathered 80,000 soldiers and was about to kill. Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei looked at each other, and both of them were not anxious, but they were quite calm.

It turned out that Zhuge Liang had already arranged it. A few days ago, Zhuge Liang suddenly sent four people to the list and told the residents. Whether you are old or young, those who are willing to follow, that is, go to Fancheng with me today, and you can't mistake yourself. On the one hand, Sun Qian was sent to the river to transfer ships to meet the people, and sent Mi Zhu to escort the officials to Fancheng. On the one hand, the generals gathered to listen to the order and make their own deployments.

In the first team, Chen Shi led a thousand troops to the Baihe River to ambush. Among them, the soldiers of each department brought cloth bags and put more sand to restrain the water of the White River. After the third update in the coming days, they only heard the lowly leader shouting horse hiss, and knew that Cai Mao's army had arrived. He immediately hurriedly picked up the cloth bag and flooded it.

In the second team, Liu Feng led a thousand troops to the Boling Ferry to ambush. The water here is the slowest. Cai Mao's soldiers and horses are flooded, and he will escape from now on, but he can take advantage of the situation to fight. You don't have to fight. If you fight for a while, you can take a detour.
