Jianming Chaos

That day, after Cai Mao read out the will, Yi Ji felt suspicious, so he quietly left the state capital and went straight to Fancheng to meet Liu Bei.

Liu Bei said gratefully: "The last time I went to a banquet in Xiangyang, fortunately Uncle Ji reminded me in time to save Bei's life!"

Yi Ji waved his hand and said, "It's an old story, so it's not worth mentioning. I'm here to tell you something important, and this matter concerns the fate of the entire Jingzhou."

Liu Bei asked, "What's the matter, Uncle Ji, in such a hurry?"

Yiji told the truth about Liu Biao's death from illness and Cai Mao's reading of the will to assist Liu Cong in ascending the throne.

Liu Bei was furious: "Cai Mao didn't send anyone to inform me of Jing Sheng's death! This will must be false! I am a close friend of Jing Sheng, and I know his personality very well. This is not his style at all! He made Liu Qi the master and I assisted the government, but he made Liu Cong the master and the Cai clan assisted the government. This is clearly Cai Mao's trick! He wants to monopolize the power, it's too abominable!"

Yi Ji also said angrily: "Cai Mao is old, treacherous and selfish. I don't want to be with him anymore. I would rather follow Uncle Huang to create a great cause together."

"Uncle Ji stay here, I'll send someone to inform Liu Qi immediately, and ask him to set up a teacher to question the crime together, and see how Cai Mao responds!"

"It's so good. It's not Liu Cong's fault, but Cai Mao's. Uncle, please don't blame Second Young Master."

"Of course, Liu Cong is still young, smart and pure, so he won't join forces with him." Of course Liu Bei can distinguish between muddy water and clean water.

"Uncle Ji, let's go back first." Kong Ming spoke.

"Why?" Yiji was puzzled.

"I have a premonition that another big event is about to happen in Jingzhou. The forgery of the will is probably just a prelude. Maybe Cai Mao will do something even more outrageous. Uncle Ji should go back to find out the news first, and then it is not too late to join the emperor."

"Big event?" Liu Bei was puzzled.

"Yes." Kong Ming frowned, "Liu Cong is still young, and Cai Mao is in charge of all major matters; Cao Cao is about to arrive in Jingzhou, and Cai Mao is likely to betray the owner for glory."

"Mr. means..." Yi Ji had a bad feeling.

"I expect Cai Mao to hand over Jingzhou." Kong Ming said to the point.

"What?!" Everyone was shocked.

"Cao Cao used the name of the Son of Heaven to march south, and with the help of the White Tigers, Cai Mao didn't dare to contend with him. What else could he do except Xianzhou? If so, we will not be able to gain a foothold in Jingzhou. Ji Bo should return quickly Xiangyang, find out more news for me."

Yi Ji followed his words and rushed back to Xiangyang immediately.

Liu Bei suddenly felt deeply guilty. If he had taken over the state seal at that time, why would he have such worries?It's really "self-inflicted can't live"!Under self-reproach, he wrote a book and asked Mi Fang to bring it to Jiang Xia and hand it to Liu Qi.

Liu Qi was very indignant after reading it, and said: "They are really hateful. They tried to kill me before but failed, and now they forged my father's will and made my brother the governor of the state, knowing that he is too young to be a director. This is clearly fueling their influence. ! Even, he didn’t even let me see my late father for the last time, it’s really deceiving!”

The more Liu Qi spoke, the angrier he became, and he punched the stone case.

Mi Fang said: "Military Master Kong Ming said that Cai Mao is very likely to dedicate Jingzhou to Cao Cao."

"What?!" Liu Qi was shocked, "Is this really true?"

"This is just the military division's guess. Yiji has already gone back to find out the news."

"If that's the case, I'll be the first to kill him!"

"Mr. Liu, don't get excited, wait for the news to come and discuss the countermeasures with the emperor."

Liu Qi held back his anger and nodded.

Later, when Cao Cao arrived at the state capital and accepted Liu Cong's offer of the state seal, Yi Ji who was present secretly left and used flying pigeons to convey the news of Cai Mao's offer of state.Everyone sighed.

Liu Bei said angrily: "What a villain! Jing Sheng's body is not cold yet, he has already given away his foundation, it's really despicable!"

Kong Ming frowned and said: "Now that Cao Cao has won Jingzhou without bloodshed, he can concentrate on dealing with us; and the surrender of Cao Gongwen is coming soon, this city has already belonged to Cao in name, so we can't stay for long."

"Then what should I do?" Liu Bei is still blaming himself, but now he can only rely on Kong Ming.

"My lord, don't be afraid. As long as you act according to the plan, even if you don't retreat the enemy army, you can protect yourself." Kong Ming didn't say anything to complain about the lord, but just shook his feather fan lightly with a calm expression.

A new battle is about to break out, and Liu Beijun will face off against the White Tigers for the first time.

The next day, Xu Chu led [-] vanguard troops to Yushan Mountain, and saw banners, left red flags and right green flags all over the mountains and forests.Puzzled, he ordered a truce.

Suddenly, the drums and gongs were beating in the mountains, and the shouts shook the sky.He hurriedly ordered the sergeants to prepare for battle and be ready to deal with the enemy troops coming down from the mountain at any time.

After a while, the mountain calmed down.He thought for a moment and gave the order to move on.

Suddenly, the sound of gongs, drums and shouts sounded again, and he stopped the crowd again.

Soon, the sound disappeared again.He was a little confused, so he ordered the suspension of the advance and sent someone to report to Xu Shu.

After a while, the soldier reported: "General Qi, Xu Canjun told us to advance at full speed. The flags and voices in the mountains and forests are the enemy's tactics to slow down our troops. Prepare."

Xu Chu suddenly realized, and urged the army to advance, ordering that any movement should be ignored.

The army had just advanced for a mile when suddenly there was a loud shout in the forest, and a group of men and horses ran back and forth in the forest holding red and green flags.The flag on the mountain became a blue flag and a yellow flag.

Xu Chu hurriedly led his troops into the forest, but before they entered, the enemy soldiers had retreated to the mountain.

Soon, the flag on the mountain changed back to its original color.He also realized that this was the enemy's trick to confuse the enemy, so he ordered to advance recklessly.

Suddenly, a strong wind hit the front, and everyone looked up, only to see dense black spots appearing in the sky.Numerous sharp arrows were shot in a parabolic trajectory, and the vanguard was caught off guard and hit the arrows one after another; the horses also began to panic, neighing wildly.

Xu Chu realized that the enemy had started to move, so he hurriedly ordered everyone to raise their shields to block them.He waved the sledgehammer in his hand and blocked several arrows.He looked forward, and saw a group of enemy troops using leaves as cover were retreating quickly. Obviously, the opponent's arrows were just to delay time, and they dared not stay for a long time.

Xu Chu ordered the wounded soldiers to go to the side of the road to heal themselves so as not to affect the march of the army.Although some troops were lost, Cao Jun still reached Quewei Slope as quickly as possible. Just as he was about to move on, he suddenly heard loud bragging on the mountain.

Xu Chu looked up and saw a huge umbrella on the top of the mountain, and there were two people sitting opposite each other and drinking, talking and laughing happily, leisurely.

Xu Chu was furious and ordered to attack the mountain.Immediately, the troops searched for the road one after another.

Suddenly, countless wooden cannon rocks on the mountain poured down like a mountain torrent.Unable to go up the mountain, Cao Jun was in a panic and suffered countless casualties; but the two men on the mountain were still cooking and discussing things, as if there was no one else around.

Furious, Xu Chu got off his horse and rushed up the mountain himself.The stream of wood and stone struck again. He was huge, but his movements were extremely flexible, and he kept dodging left and right.

Because the hillside was too steep, he couldn't rush up, so he had to return to the ground.

At this time, the first team also arrived.Yue Gonghu saw the two people on the mountain from a distance, and said, "The one on the left looks like Liu Bei, and the one on the right must be Kong Ming. Great, what a godsend! Look at my golden arrow, kill two birds with one stone!"

He took down the big moon bow from his back, picked up the bow and set up an arrow, and aimed at the enemy.Unfortunately, before the arrow left the string, the two of them suddenly disappeared.

"Hmph, you guys escaped fast!" Yue Gonghu put the arrow back into the barrel, and said regretfully.

The wood and stone were still rolling down continuously, blocking the road ahead, and Cao Jun could not move forward.

Yue Gonghu asked Xu Shu: "Do you want me to use my divine power to clear these roadblocks?"

Xu Shu thought for a while and said, "For the time being, don't use it. Weary troops should not enter. Let's go to Xinye to rest for a night."

So Cao Jun turned and headed for Xinye from another road.

The third team led by Xia Houyuan and Xiahou Dun had already stationed in Xinye City. Seeing that Xu Chu and his party arrived, they opened the city gate to welcome the army into the city.As everyone knows, this place will become a city of fire.

When the army entered the city, the pommel horses were exhausted, and each of them found a private house to rest.It was almost midnight, the weather was getting colder, and the strong wind gradually came with the night.

Nuheihu, Guiyinghu and Yuegonghu are resting in a tile house.Suddenly, Ghost Tiger asked: "Did you smell a strange smell?"

The angry black tiger became alert after hearing what he said, and said: "Indeed, since the moment I entered the city, I smelled a strange smell, and I didn't pay attention to it at the time; now that I think about it, something is really wrong."

Ghost Shadow Tiger took a sharp sniff and said, "It seems to smell like sulfur."

The angry black tiger suddenly realized: "There must be ambushes in this city, they want to set fire to the city!"

Ghost Tiger hurriedly jumped onto the roof, saw a pile of grass under the roof tiles, lifted the tiles and touched the grass, it was sticky.He smelled it, and it smelled like grease, so he lifted the grass and found that there were yellow particles mixed in it.

"Sulphur and grease!" Ghosting Tiger raised his eyes and looked into the distance. His night vision ability was better than that of ordinary people. When he found similar situations on other roofs, he rushed to report to Nuheihu.

The angry black tiger attacked the case: "They want to burn us to death! Hurry up and arrange people to go to every roof to clean up these things; and send people to search every corner and clean up the enemy troops hiding in the city!"

Before the words fell, the flames in the distance shot up into the sky, and someone shouted that it was on fire.Immediately, all directions were covered by fire all over the sky.It turned out that not only the roof, but also the tile tanks, poultry sheds and other places had also planted fire in advance.Boosted by the wind, the fire grew bigger and bigger, turning Xinye into a sea of ​​flames in an instant.The arsonists trained by Zhiming and Xiao Cong are not only stealthy, but also crisp and agile, and can simultaneously achieve the purpose of arson in a short period of time.The plan to burn Xinye began to be implemented.

"Send someone to fetch water to put out the fire!" Angry Heihu ordered.

"It's too late, the fire is too fierce!" Guiyinghu was so hot that he was sweating.

"Let me try it!" Yue Gonghu rushed out of the room.

He started to use his internal strength and let out a roar that soared into the sky.Immediately, a cloud of carbon dioxide-like gas was released from his mouth, forming multiple streams of air, and flying towards various nearby fire points scatteredly - this is his special skill "fire extinguishing technique".

This trick really worked, and the surrounding fire suddenly decreased.It's a pity that the good times don't last long, Moonbow Tiger's fire extinguishing skills are beyond his reach, and he can't extinguish the fire farther away; moreover, with the rapid night wind and the mixed effect of grass, sulfur, etc., the flames that have disappeared slowly rekindle.

Angry Heihu observed the situation and said: "It seems that the fire cannot be reduced. Yue Gonghu, you should immediately notify General Xiahou to let Cao Jun withdraw from the city first; all members of the White Tiger Squad will stay behind, and Gui Yinghu will be in charge. , the main task is to wipe out the enemy troops in the city!"

Considering the urgency of the situation, Yue Gonghu couldn't care about protecting Xue Chan for the time being, so he had to order two soldiers to take care of her, and hurried to Xiahou Dun's camp; enemy soldiers.

Xuechan also realized that the war had begun, and the situation was very unfavorable to Cao Jun, otherwise Yue Gonghu would not let her go easily.She began to implement the escape plan.

The third team led by Xiahouyuan and Xiahoudun was also surrounded by fire at the moment, and it was difficult to escape for a while.Several soldiers were busy fetching water to put out the water, but it was only a drop in the bucket, to no avail.

Just when everyone was helpless, the fire suddenly went out one after another.A black figure rushed in from beyond the sea of ​​flames and said, "I am Yue Gonghu of the White Tiger Team. General Xiahou, please lead the troops out of the city first, and our White Tiger Team will take care of the aftermath!"

Xiahouyuan and Xiahoudun thanked Yuegonghu, and immediately led the army to the nearest city gate.Yue Gonghu used fire extinguishing skills to escort him all the way, but it was a pity that he neglected the other, and the situation was still out of control.

The city was in chaos, Cao Jun trampled on each other, causing countless casualties - some were buried in the sea of ​​flames, some ran wildly like dogs with tails dragging fire; those who were not on fire were busy helping their companions put out the fire.Cao Jun's formation has been completely disrupted by the sudden fire.
