Although Cai Mao failed to escape in the end, he managed to escape from Jiangling City anyway. It was only because Liu Jing sent troops to block the roads outside the city in advance that his success failed.
Liu Qi, on the other hand, couldn't even escape from Jiangling City. He lived in the prefect's residence in the northeast of the city. When Liu Jingjun entered the city from the north gate, he naturally regarded the nearby county as the center of Jiangling as his main target.
.
Therefore, even if Liu Qi made a decisive decision and was sent to flee, he could only barely escape from the county house before being hit by Liu Jingjun's cavalry.
Liu Qi was so frightened that he immediately turned his horse around and tried to escape, but his riding skills could not compare with Liu Jingjun's cavalry who was skilled in bow and horse. Seeing that the enemy was getting closer and closer, Liu Qi knew that he could not escape, so he had to give up and escape.
Zhuma turned around and shouted loudly: "Please don't kill me, I can make you rich and noble..."
Liu Jingjun's cavalryman who didn't want to rush to the front was a Qiang man with disheveled hair and a ferocious look. He didn't listen to what Liu Qi said at all. He rode his horse and rushed in front of Liu Qi and stabbed him in the head.
In an instant, Liu Qi's horrified expression froze on his face. His huge head soared into the sky, flew sideways and landed on the ground, while his body on the horse hit the ground almost at the same time.
The Qiang people took action too quickly and killed the person in a flash. The Han companions behind him had no time to stop him and could not help but reproached him: "Donkey Palm, why did you kill him? Didn't you hear his cry?" How dare the other party dare?
To make them rich, they must be important figures in the enemy's army. Capturing them is worth more than killing them.
Donkey Palm happily picked up Liu Qi's head from the ground and put it into the leather bag on the side of the horse. Hearing the questions from his teammates, his rough and red face was full of confusion: "What did he say?"
Everyone looked at each other for a moment, speechless.
Liu Qi fled in a hurry, was given single clothes, and had nothing on him to identify himself, so Luzhang had no choice but to hand over his head, which he passed on to several people before finally delivering it to Liu Liang.
Liu Liang followed Liu Jing north to welcome his bride, and had met Liu Qi several times in Xiangyang. As the young master of Jingzhou, Liu Qi had a distinguished status, power over Xiangyang, and unlimited scenery, which left a very deep impression on Liu Liang, so even after a long time, Liu Liang
After many years, he can still recognize each other at a glance.
Looking at Liu Qi's deadpan face, Liu Liang shook his head, filled with emotion. Liu Qi back then was like the bright moon in the sky, and he was like a stone on the ground. Who would have thought that seven years later, one of Liu Qi's men would die.
In the hands of Qiang cavalry.
Liu Liang looked at Donkey Palm, who was waiting aside, slightly nervous, and couldn't help laughing and scolding: "You Qiang'er are really good at killing. Do you know who you killed? He is the eldest son of Jingzhou Shepherd Liu Biao, Nanjun
Prefect Liu Qi."
Donkey Palm was overjoyed when he heard this, and then said bitterly: "Back then, we followed General Yang to Jingzhou and were defeated by Liu Biao. My brother was killed by Liu Biao's army at that time. Liu Biao killed my brother back then, and today I will kill his son!"
Liu Liang nodded appreciatively and said: "We Han people have a common proverb: 'The hatred of parents cannot be shared by heaven; the hatred of brothers cannot be fought against.' For enemies who kill brothers, you must always carry weapons and kill them when they meet. You
This Qiang'er never forgets to avenge his brother, but he also deserves the name of a man."
Liu Liang then said to the donkey's paw: "You have made great achievements this time. I will report it to the general and ask for a reward for you."
"Thank you Captain." Donkey Palm said happily.
Liu Liang then sent people to follow Donkey Palm to find Liu Qi's body and prepare to sew the body together so that he would not become a headless ghost.
In the final analysis, although the two sides are in a hostile relationship, there is no deep hatred and hatred, and they are both descendants of the Miao ancestors, so they should be given basic respect.
Liu Qi and Cai Mao, the two leaders of Jiangling, were killed and captured, and with Beicheng guard Cai Xun as an internal response, Liu Jing's army swept across the entire Jiangling like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. When dawn came, the city was generally calm.
Liu Jing sat in the main seat and looked at Cai Hao with great interest, whose clothes and armor were stained with blood and in a state of embarrassment. He smiled for a while and said: "He is a hero of Jingzhou, famous for Chu land. I have often heard of your name when I was young. Only today can I meet you."
See you." The two have never met before, of course, watching from a distance on the battlefield does not count.
Cai Hao was silent for a moment and then said: "There are two main reasons why I came to see you without any help. One is that I want to see with my own eyes how Liu Zhongda, who has repeatedly defeated me on the battlefield and asked me to do nothing, will survive.
What kind of person is he?"
"How?" Liu Jing asked curiously.
Cai Mao said truthfully: "It's not as good as I thought."
"Oh?" Liu Jing burst into laughter upon hearing this.
Cai Mao explained: "Before Shisama was born, I traveled across Jingzhou without any setback. After Shisama was born, I was defeated in many battles for several years. I tried my best to defeat Shisama, but in the end I still could not escape defeat. I
The steps in my heart are like heavenly beings and cannot be resisted by human beings. Now I see that although my steps are heroic and magnanimous, they are still mortals."
Liu Jing laughed and said: "I didn't expect that I was like a heavenly being in my heart before. I don't know what the second reason is?"
Cai Hao stared at Liu Jing and asked, "Who opened the North City Gate for me?"
Liu Jingdao: "Hasn't Shiba already guessed it?"
"It's really Zigu..." After confirming what he was thinking, Cai Hao felt very complicated at this time. He sighed for a long time: "This is good, this is good..." Cai Xun surrendered to Liu Jing, which was regarded as reserved for the Cai family.
He must have gained some vitality so that the entire Cai family would not fall into a situation of eternal disaster just because of him.
Cai Mao no longer had any doubts and slowly closed his eyes and said: "Now my wish is fulfilled. I will kill or behead you at any time. It's up to you."
"Are you willing to surrender?" Although he knew there was little hope, Liu Jing still asked.
Cai Mao couldn't help but sneer and said: "Liu Zhongda, the matter has come to this, why bother humiliating me again."
Liu Jing shook his head. Even a villain like Cai Mao, who was sycophantic and corrupt in history, could die generously when the army was defeated. How could he not be filled with emotion?
Liu Jing ordered his guards to take him out, gave him a sword, and asked him to commit suicide in front of the military gate.
"Thank you so much for your help." Cai Mao took one last deep look at Liu Jing and sighed: "After I die, no one in Jingzhou can stop me." After that, he turned and left.
"..." Liu Jing was stunned.
After Cai Mao committed suicide, Liu Jing ordered his body to be put into a coffin. Soon Liu Qi's body was also returned to the camp. Liu Jing was a little surprised by this. He did not expect that even Liu Qi was dead.
Then he also put it in a coffin and prepared to send the two of them back to Xiangyang. Just like the corpse coffin he sent to Kuai Yue before, it could not only show his kindness, but also attack Liu Biao, and also act as a deterrent to the Xiangyang nobles.
