Chapter 2061 Xiangyang falls, thorns block the way
Since serious health problems occurred, Liu Biao has almost never gone to the city wall to watch the battle. Although Liu Biao did his best in his own mansion, after all, there are some differences from leaders who go to the front line to fight in person.
.
When Cao Jun and the Cai family joined hands to sneak into the city and seize the south gate of Xiangyang, Liu Biao was sitting in the front yard of the mansion. When the first shout was faintly heard, others had not yet heard clearly what was going on. Liu Biao
But he suddenly straightened his neck and looked towards the south...
In an instant, the chaotic sounds of shouting and fighting erupted in the south like thunder and went straight into the sky. In the blink of an eye, these mixed sounds of shouting swept from south to north, sweeping through the whole city, inside and outside the city, and they were mixed together.
, with overwhelming murderous intent, shaking the entire Xiangyang City, impacting the hearts of everyone inside, spreading fear, which means death.
"Xiangyang has been destroyed! Xiangyang has been destroyed! Only kill Liu Biao, and those who surrender will avoid death!"
The frantic shouts of death and exclamations from outside became even louder. The whole city, the neighbors, and the surrounding deep mansions and courtyards seemed to be in commotion because of this.
Liu Biao's face was very pink, so he couldn't see any changes in his expression. He just swayed slightly, then stood still and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, please don't panic! It's just Xiaoxiao!"
Pang Zhizhong temporarily takes over the military post and strictly guards the north gate! Order Wen Zhongye to quickly lead troops to quell the chaos in the city!』
After Liu Biao finished shouting, his breath was inevitably short for a moment. He took a few sharp breaths and continued to order: "Get a certain weapon! Close the front and rear doors! Soldiers go up to the turret! If any thieves approach, they will be killed without mercy!"
On the long street of Xiangyang, there was already a chaos, with cries and cries. Everywhere in the streets and alleys, there were helpless people running around. There were also some scattered Jingzhou soldiers, holding weapons, but
Like a headless fly, being pulled around by the flow of people and not knowing which direction to go.
In Xiangyang City, some fires have started to rise. In any troubled times, it is inevitable that there will be some people who, no matter what, only think about themselves, and will take advantage of the chaos, becoming a beautiful scenery.
Liu Biao stood on the high platform, raised his sword and shouted: "This is Liu Biao, the herdsman of Jingzhou! The Cao thieves are greedy and ruthless, and they robbed and plundered Jingzhou! As my loyal fellow citizens in Jingzhou, don't be deceived by them! Let's fight against foreign enemies and defend our homeland!"
The guards standing near the Mufu Yamen in Jingzhou also shouted: "Together we will defend against foreign enemies and defend our homeland! Together we will defend against foreign enemies and defend our homeland!"
In the midst of the panic, Liu Biao could be heard making such a sound, which naturally had some effect. Many scattered Jingzhou soldiers also found their way and moved closer to Liu Biao.
Amidst the billowing black smoke, Liu Biao held his sword high and roared over and over again until his voice became hoarse. Beads of sweat fell from his forehead, and the thick powder on his face was washed out into ravines.
At this moment, the fighting near the south gate of Xiangyang has reached its most brutal stage.
Although Cai Jiu and others initially took advantage of the surprise and killed the soldiers on duty in Jingzhou by surprise, the rest of the Jingzhou soldiers quickly reacted and attacked with all their strength, blocking Cai Jiu and others in the city.
After all, in order to pretend to be refugees working, Cai Jiu and others naturally cannot wear any armor. In the era of cold weapons, whether or not there is armor are two completely different concepts. Under swords and guns, blood will flow when touched.
Once the skin is broken and there are too many casualties, the momentum will naturally suffer some loss and it will no longer be as fierce as before.
During the fierce fight, people from both sides continued to fall. Some died on the spot, but some were injured, but they were trampled under their feet by unknown members of their own family or opponents, and they screamed miserably. The injured ones were still struggling.
Climbing to the corner of the road, I unluckily stepped down a few times, and gradually lost my breath...
Suddenly, Cai Jiu, who was leading his team to attack the winch of the city gate, heard a huge shout erupting from the city. A battle flag with the word "文" came from the north and rushed straight towards here!
"Damn it! Damn it!"
Cai Jiu yelled and quickly ordered his men to move faster. There was some panic in his tone that could not be concealed. Wenpin's martial arts was well known in Jingzhou. If Wenpin really got here,
I am afraid that if I fail to seize the city, I will not even protect my own life!

Success or failure, now it seems that the only thing left is who can be faster!
Wenpin led his men and ran southward, his spear tilted to guide the door.
Cai Jiu danced his sword crazily and turned his head to urge his men.
Xiahou Dun in the north of the city stood under the flag of the Chinese army and beat the huge war drum himself.
The Cai family in the south of the city stood outside the gate of Xiangyang, anxiously waiting for the gate to open.
Black smoke billows.
The flames are fierce.
Howling and crying all around.
Liu Biao stood on the high platform, showing his pale and withered arms, holding up a long sword.
Liu Cong huddled under the corner, holding his knees with his frightened and helpless eyes open.
Everything seems to be in turmoil, and everything seems to be still.
The winch at the south gate of Xiangyang was finally turned, and the iron fence closing the city gate was slowly raised...
Suddenly, near the south gate of Xiangyang, both above and below the city, whether Cao Jun or Jingzhou soldiers, could not help shouting, either with despair or with ecstasy! And the Cai family outside Nancheng came to help.
, eagerly pulling at the city gate, eager to rush in at the next moment!
Cai Jiu was ecstatic and shouted: "Xiangyang! Xiangyang City has been taken! The first victory, the first victory is ours!"
Wenpin raised his arms and shouted: "Go up! Hold up the city gate!"
The fire rolled, and black smoke filled the sky. The remaining clouds rolled in the sky and seemed to be connected with the black smoke on the ground.
Cai's reinforcements rushed into the city, but were blocked by Wenpin and others at the city gate. Cai's soldiers attacked again and again, but with Wenpin's blessing, Jingzhou soldiers stood tightly in one place.
Even though Cai's soldiers fought inside with red eyes, they still didn't make much progress, and there were even signs of being pushed out of the city gate!
At this moment, the sound of horse hoofbeats was faintly heard again. Cao Hong and other Cao cavalry who were hiding in the south of Xiangyang saw the agreed signal and ran out of their hiding place and headed towards Xiangyang City with a ferocious look!
Before Wenpin could react, he suddenly heard another loud commotion in the north of the city!
Wenpin, who was usually calm and composed, finally changed his expression. After a while, increasingly loud noises and uncontrollable chaos spread in Xiangyang City...
Pang Ji, who was in charge of the defense in the north of the city gate, was killed by Han Song. Then Han Song ordered the city gate to be opened and the city surrendered.
Cao Jun poured into the city like a raging tide!
Wenpin looked up to the sky and roared, but there was nothing he could do. Liu Biao vomited blood on the balcony and died.
Xiangyang City has finally fallen...
The sun sets in the west.
The chill of the night gradually came.
Sometimes, the same news has different flavors in different places. Liu Biao's death may be the result of a series of complex interactions among the Han Dynasty, but from the perspective of the event itself, it is
There are basically no people who feel happy about Liu Biao's death, or "pleasant".
In the main hall of the Xu County Palace, the lit oil lamps drew a circle that made people feel a little warm. Although the eunuchs and maids were standing around, some in the hall and some outside the hall, Liu Xie still made Liu Xie
I felt extremely lonely and endless helpless.
Even though Liu Biao had problems of one kind or another, or Liu Biao also acted arrogantly, Liu Biao was, after all, the last member of the Han clan who held real power in the Han Dynasty!
After Liu Biao, there was no longer a prince in the world whose soldiers carried a banner with "Liu" written on it.
The emperor Liu Xie sat silently in front of the chessboard. The hall was quiet, with only the sound of occasional moves. Opposite Liu Xie, there was nothingness. Liu Xie seemed to be playing chess with himself, and also seemed to be playing against the future.
.
"I, this step... is the right one, or..."
Liu Xie murmured in a low voice, his voice too soft to be detected. He held a chess piece in his hand and did not put it down for a long time.
"Some of the things I did were right, and some... were wrong... It was inevitable, and I knew this, but no matter whether it was right or wrong, what I did was..."
Liu Xie gently dropped the chess piece on the chessboard.
"Just like in a game of chess, if you don't make a move, you lose..." Liu Xie raised his eyebrows slightly, and after a moment, he smiled bitterly, "But after you make a move, you can't change it..."
The chessboard is filled with black and white colors, but under the light of the oil lamp, some other colors seem to appear, flowing and hovering on the chessboard.
"Dong, Wang, Li, Guo, Yuan..." Liu Xie slowly picked up the bag, then pinched the last one, "Liu...hu..."
"I have never failed the world...why the whole world...has failed me..."
"Why?!"
"Why……"
Liu Xie gritted his teeth, the muscles on his cheeks twitched, and the pain in his heart was unspeakable.
As early as Dong Zhuo's death, Liu Xie had great ambitions in his heart. These ambitions came from his father and his blood. He also wanted to become the overlord of ZTE like Guangwu, so he chose to leave
Feiqian's Bingzhou came to Yuzhou because this was the land of Guangwu's Longxing. Liu Xie hoped to embark on Guangwu's road to rejuvenation from here again, but now it seems that although he has stepped on the legacy left by Guangwu
There are footprints, but the road back then has disappeared.
What's left is a land full of thorns.
Liu Xie struggled, and he fought against Cao Cao, trying to activate some people close to him to build a new Han Dynasty structure, and then he could regain control of the world and bring the Han Dynasty to normalcy, but in the end he failed and was discovered by Cao Cao...
…
Liu Xie's son died.
Cao Cao's son also died...
died.
Then both Liu Xie and Cao Cao realized that if the two of them fought, they would only gain the advantage of the other guys who were standing around and watching eagerly, so they stopped each other, with their respective wounds, and temporarily put aside their hatred. Then Cao Cao took
After moving to Jizhou, Cao Cao controlled a larger territory, but at the same time, this also meant that the power that Cao Cao originally concentrated in Yuzhou would be spread out. Even Cao Cao himself focused his main energy on Jizhou and stayed in Ye
city.
Liu Xie was not sure about the financial difficulties Cao Cao was currently facing. In his mind, he felt that the reason why Cao Cao attacked Liu Biao was because of one word, "Liu".
Cao Cao was worried that when he stayed in Jizhou, there was a royal family member next door to Yuzhou and to the south of Xu County!
Once upon a time, Liu Xie thought that he and Cao Cao could really forget the pain and move forward hand in hand, but now it seems that the coldness and cruelty of reality forced Liu Xie to face the black and white and iron-blooded world again.
And the hussar general Fei Qian...
Liu Xie sighed.
If Liu Xie was hurt for Cao Cao, then Liu Xie was even more disappointed with Fei Qian.
When Cao Cao launched an offensive against Jingzhou, Liu Xie once imagined how the cavalry general Fei Qian would react. But he didn't expect that Fei Qian just sent Liu Qi in the end, and he also acquiesced that Liu Biao would be defeated by Cao Cao.
, what makes Liu Xie even more painful is that Fei Qian actually "guessed" it right.
Xiangyang fell and Liu Biao died in the Yamen of the Mufu in Jingzhou.
Liu Biao...
Isn’t it claimed to have 100,000 soldiers?
Liu Xie suddenly felt that Liu Biao had been operating in Jingzhou for so long, whether it was a horse, a horse, an army, or a rest, the body that originally looked huge and strong turned out to be an empty shell!
After weighing and weighing, thinking and thinking, Liu Xie finally continued to move. Since the chessboard has not been completely overturned, the chess game still needs to continue until it is filled up with no place to stay, and then it will be completely wiped out.
, restart the game...
On the other side, Liu Qi, who arrived in Xu County, received the news from Xiangyang. He could hardly bear the blow and fainted on the spot. Although Liu Qi once had a rebellious period as a teenager, he was still his father, even if he already had it in his heart.
After some preparations, after hearing the definite news, I still couldn't bear it.
As Liu Qi's bodyguard, Liu Pan was also dumbfounded and looked sallow.
Yi Ji on the side had a complicated expression, which eventually turned into a sigh.
After a while, Liu Qi regained his consciousness and cried softly, "Father, Father..."
Yi Ji was silent for a moment and said to Liu Pan: "Liu Xiaowei, please leave the inn to find some white hemp... These clothes also need to be changed..."
Liu Pan bowed his hand in agreement and left without mentioning it.
"Young Master..." Yi Ji turned to look at Liu Qi who was crying bitterly, "My lord, my condolences... Young Master, this is not the time to be sad..." In this world, people try to exchange their own misery for the mercy of others, and cry to pray for others' mercy.
Taking care of it is totally unworkable.
Even the Son of Heaven, who claims that Heaven is his father and Earth is his mother, that the Son of Heaven is born from Heaven and Earth and raised by the Earth, has no way to rely on mercy and sympathy, let alone Liu Qi, who only has a staff left?
If you don't work hard and fight for yourself, if you just give in and show weakness, and whine and beg, you will eventually become the food of others and be swallowed alive by others. Although Yi Ji may not be the first-class in strategy, he has a good understanding of life and life.
His understanding of the world is obviously hundreds of times better than Liu Qi's.
"Uncle Ji..." Liu Qi held the staff, "I, I... what should I do?"
"We should take this opportunity to express our views directly before the Dan level!" Yi Ji said, "The Cao family has conquered Jingzhou. There must be many things to do, and it is difficult to deal with them all at the moment. Only at this moment can we make a turn for the better!"
Liu Qi nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, what Uncle Ji said is... But, this seal..."
"..." Yi Ji also knew Liu Qi's current state, so he sighed and said, "That's it, I will write it, and after it is written, the master will copy it..."
Liu Qi naturally had no objection.
But this chapter was difficult to write. Halfway through Yi Ji's writing, he felt that the wording was too intense, so he stopped, and then started again. After writing for a short time, he stopped again, and then started writing again, but he couldn't continue.
I stopped writing even before I finished writing the beginning.
Yi Ji knew in his heart that behind Liu Biao's matter, it was not that simple. At the same time, the emperor Liu Xie could not do whatever he wanted. What he wrote must not only stand up, but also make everyone
All aspects can be accepted, otherwise even if I write with great literary talent and brilliant rhetoric, it will have no effect. I am afraid it will just be annoying...
Yiji frowned and thought for a long time before writing again. This time, he wrote about the impeachment of Xiahou Dun, but the words were not too fierce. Yiji knew that Emperor Liu Xie needed a breakthrough, but he could not directly push Emperor Liu Xie into it.
The opposition to Cao Cao came up, because after all, the power of Liu Xie and Cao Cao was not symmetrical.
All I can do is seize the fact that Xiahou Dun kills royal family members without the king's orders. If he uses gentler words, there will be room for discussion. Once the discussion can be discussed, he can strive for more benefits for Liu Qi...
When the time comes, he will be the vicious dog that pounces on him and bites him, and the emperor Liu Xie can be more detached and assume his balancing role, which is also in line with the emperor's own needs.
As for Xiahou Dun, the most he can do is a reprimand, a fine, and other indifferent punishments. However, Yi Ji officially wants to use this method to determine Liu Qi’s right to file a complaint about the Jingzhou incident, because if Liu Qi does not defend himself,
Who else in the world would appeal on behalf of Liu Qi and fight for his rights?
Is the Cavalry General Fei Qian?
Obviously Fei Qian sent Liu Qi to Xu County, which showed that his desire for Jingzhou was not that strong. If Fei Qian really cared about Jingzhou, Taishi Ci would not just stay outside Yangcheng, but
Zhu Ling was dispatched to escort Liu Qi to Xu County.
It's just that Yi Ji felt that General Hussar's methods were definitely not Liu Qi's. There must be some other actions in Jingzhou, and for his part, it would be best to catch up with General Hussar.
These actions, and then influenced each other, completed Liu Biao's entrustment to Yiji, and opened a possible path for Liu Qi to take among the thorns. As for where Liu Qi can reach in the future, Yiji himself will also
There is no certainty...
Take one step at a time, just take one step.
The great man was so big that he could not even walk all over the world, and there were countless mountains and rivers.
The big man is also very small. Two or three surnames are already full. Even if he wants to write one more, there seems to be no room to write...
