The Three Kingdoms Began with the Abduction of Luoshen - Chapter 212
Since he came to report, Yi Ji was naturally ready.
At this moment, Lu, who was sitting on Liu Bei’s mount at the back door, rode his horse away as soon as he went out. Although Liu Bei didn’t know where he was ahead, he didn’t hesitate, because now he had no choice at all.
If you delay time here, and wait for Cai Mao and the others to chase and kill him, I am afraid that he will really die here.
Although this incident happened abruptly, Liu Bei did not doubt Yi Ji’s intentions, after all, he felt it himself. It is the most important thing for people to mix in the rivers and lakes, otherwise Liu Bei would have been cold.
After all, after so many years of traveling from south to north, Liu Bei has also experienced a lot of things. If he didn’t even have this ability, how could he live until now, I’m afraid he would have been killed long ago.
Liu Bei panicked and left.
Here, Cai Mao and others led Liu Biao away, and they immediately brought people to kill him, but they only saw the empty hall.
Cai Mao frowned and shouted:
“Where’s Liu Bei, where did the people go?”
The waiter was trembling and said that Liu Bei had gone to the toilet.
Cai Mao was stunned for a moment, but also noticed the problem. Could it be that Liu Bei’s gap was so bad that he ran away?
Incredible.
However, Liu Bei was a very strange person. Cai Mao immediately sent someone to look for him, but he did not find any trace of Liu Bei. Then I looked for the back door, and I found signs of horse riding.
Cai Mao couldn’t help gnashing his teeth, but his idea of killing Liu Bei did not change. At this moment, he said angrily:
“Follow me immediately, I will kill Liu Bei today.”
…
the other side.
Liu Biao really did not want to kill Liu Bei.
He just wanted to test Liu Bei today, and even if he really felt inappropriate, he would think of a reasonable solution to Liu Bei. Instead of this, they sent troops to chase and kill them neatly and directly.
When they arrived at the meeting place, Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue were both there, which made Liu Biao feel a little strange. Inexplicable, why suddenly said that there is an urgent matter, but it seems very calm.
Liu Biao glanced over, meaningful.
Kuai Liang said with a light smile:
“The lord is here, you might as well sit down and take a break.”
Liu Biao narrowed his eyes, thoughtfully, and said solemnly:
“Didn’t you guys say that there is something important to discuss, why are you sitting here now, is there something you are hiding from the old man?”
Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue were also a little embarrassed. Liu Biao was indeed not an ordinary person, so he might have noticed it.
However, the two still did not speak out, but said:
“Don’t worry, my lord, we do have urgent matters.”
Liu Biao decided to sit down and said solemnly:
“Forget it, you have something to do, but it doesn’t matter.”
Kuai Liang swept his eyes and said:
“Now that Cao Cao’s forces are strong and there are some magical things, I am afraid that in time, I am really invincible. If it is only with the power of Jingzhou, I am afraid it will not be easy to deal with.
If Cao Cao is serious about the invasion of the army, I am afraid that the lord has only two choices, either to surrender directly, or to unite with the current Jiangdong Sun clan, otherwise he will not be able to deal with it at all. “
This wave of Kuai Liang’s analysis is really sophisticated, but Liu Biao is not surprised because he thinks the same way.
He wasn’t too worried before, but for some reason, Cao Cao’s strength has grown so fast recently, it’s even unbelievable and unbelievable.
After all, when Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, it was indeed an opportunity for development. It’s just that Cao Cao had a lot of restrictions at that time, and there was no way to expand his troops without restraint.
However, after taking Yecheng, everything changed.
Liu Biao sighed and said helplessly:
“If the old man is still there, my Jingzhou army may not have the strength to fight. If the old man is no longer there, I am afraid that Jingzhou will only surrender to Cao Cao, which is a little unwilling.”
As the shepherd of Jingzhou, Liu Biao still had a certain status in Jingzhou. But he can maintain his power, in fact, the bigger key lies in the full support of some local Jingzhou families.
Without the platform of the aristocratic family, Liu Biao could not have achieved the present level.
After all, a person’s strength is limited. Liu Biao had some personal charm when he was young, but now, he is already a piece of old bacon, and it is not very useful.
Hearing Liu Biao’s sigh, Kuai Yue suddenly said:
“So far, the lord seems to have forgotten something?”
Liu Biao was stunned and didn’t mind, and said loudly:
“Forget it, since I’ve talked about this, the old man will ask you to think for the old man, who is more suitable to be the prince.”
The two looked at each other, but not too exaggerated.
This is indeed a serious problem, and it is an old problem in Jingzhou, and Liu Biao has been hesitant.
Compared with the second son Liu Cong, the eldest son Liu Qi is obviously a more suitable choice as the prince. However, things are not simple. First, Liu Biao really likes the second son more than the eldest son.
Furthermore, although Liu Cong is only a teenager now, he doesn’t know anything about government affairs. But there are many interests tied to him, including Cai Mao and the others.
In fact, in contrast, Liu Qi does not have many advantages, and is even at a great disadvantage. After all, in Jingzhou, very few people came to Liu Qi, and they were more inclined to unite with each other.
Anyway, even if Liu Cong is in the top position, there is nothing wrong, he is just a teenager, and it is most suitable as a puppet master.
At this moment, Liu Biao directly threw the question over, which also made Kuaiyue and the two of them not knowing how to answer.
What you think in your heart doesn’t mean you can say it casually.
Liu Biao looked at the eyes of the two of them, obviously understanding what they were thinking, and did not deliberately ask further questions.
A delicate balance was formed here, and everyone was silent.
After so long, Liu Biao got up and said:
“Just now…you said that you have something important to discuss with the old man, I am afraid that the real plan is to get rid of Xuande.
At this moment, Cai Mao has already started…”
Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang were speechless.
This kind of thing can be done, but if you say it directly, the meaning will be completely different.
Next, Liu Biao flashed a cold light in his eyes and said:
“It’s really courageous, without the order of the old man, you dare to mobilize your troops and attack the distinguished guests of the old man. You people are really wild and reckless.”
Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue were terrified.
The power that Liu Biao showed at this moment was indeed not simple.
The two were even more frightened. They were not sure what Liu Biao meant. Do they really want to blame them for this?
Soon, Liu Biao shouted again:
“Send someone immediately to bring this dog thief Cai Mao back to the old man. He even dares to do it privately. Is there any old man in his eyes?”
Soon, Liu Cousin was ordered to leave.
The atmosphere here became a little depressing.
…
And on the other side.
Zhao Yun, who was arranged to eat in another place, was also very worried about Liu Bei. After all, this is not Xinye, but Xiangyang, which is someone else’s territory, so it is really unsafe.
Although Liu Biao and Liu Bei were nominally relatives, in fact they did not have much relationship. If Liu Biao cares, it exists, and if Liu Biao doesn’t care, it does not exist.
It can be said that when they entered Xiangyang, their life and death were taken care of by others, which made Zhao Yun feel very uncomfortable.
However, Zhao Yun is not a reckless person like Zhang Fei. To be precise, he should be a very cautious person. But for some reason, he suddenly subconsciously became nervous.
Zhao Yun frowned, feeling unbelievable, and said to himself:
“What’s this feeling… Did the lord have an accident?”
Zhao Yun was suddenly shocked, it was an emergency, he couldn’t care about anything else, and hurriedly threw it out.
If he can see Liu Bei, then there is no problem. If he can’t see Liu Bei, there must be a problem. In this case, he must stand up.
After all, Liu Bei did not bring Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but brought him Zhao Yun as an escort, which was originally a place of trust. If he couldn’t even handle this, wouldn’t he be ashamed of his master’s trust?
But the bad thing is that Zhao Yun got the news.
Liu Bei actually left the banquet and ran away from the back door. More importantly, Cai Mao and the others also took people there.
Zhao Yun was shocked. He knew Liu Bei’s character and would never rashly offend Liu Biao.
Since he chose to run away at this moment, he was probably in trouble.
Moreover, Cai Mao and the others are chasing, why do they have to bring many soldiers and horses?
Thinking of this, how dare Zhao Yun delay?
Without hesitation, he also led his followers to chase away, even if Cai Mao had many soldiers and horses, he was not afraid at all.
But if Liu Bei had an accident, he would feel guilty for this life.
Zhao Yun really thought it through, Liu Bei scurried away wit, Cai Mao and the others were chasing after him.
Moreover, Cai Mao and his party were numerous, even if Liu Bei took a step ahead, there was still no way to completely shake them off.
In fact, according to this rhythm, Liu Bei is still very safe. After all, the Luma is very fast, and not an ordinary horse can catch up, let alone a standard war horse.
However, the problem soon appeared. The originally smooth road suddenly appeared a ditch several feet wide.
Seeing this scene, Liu Bei’s heart suddenly became cold.
I thought I could escape, but I never thought that after running for so long, I would die here after all.
This is Liu Bei’s inner monologue.
He also knows that Zhao Yun is not around now, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to detect in a short time. The more critical point is that Liu Bei is still unable to determine whether it is Cai Mao himself or Liu Biao who is going to attack him.
This is an extremely critical issue, related to Liu Bei’s choice.
What should he do next?
With a sigh, in just a short time, thousands of thoughts appeared in Liu Bei’s mind.
He even wanted to get straight to the results himself.
But Liu Bei is not reconciled. He has persevered through so many difficulties. How could he easily give up here?
But the chasing soldiers from behind had already killed them, and there was another dead end in front of them. The horses couldn’t get through such a rushing stream. It could be said that this was a dead end, and there was no other choice.
so what should I do now?
Liu Bei was lost in thought.
