Shi A'an arranged for Wu Huang and others to tell them what happened during this trip.
After finishing speaking, Shi A sighed: "I thought that killing Zhuge Liang was just crushing an ant. It was very simple, but I didn't expect that Zhuge Liang had already prepared and had set up a trap for us to get in. I underestimated the enemy too much."
This time, more than 20 people were lost, which was hard for Shi A to accept.
The swordsmen trained by the Hero Building are all people with superb swordsmanship. The death of any one of them is a huge loss. Especially some of them were trained by Wang Yue back then, and they killed people at close range like cutting grass. However, such masters
It must be said that it is sad to die under the fire of crossbows and bows.
This situation is like the great martial arts master of the Republic of China facing muskets and artillery.
No matter how powerful you are, as long as you are not close, you will be dead.
The dense crossbows and bows suppressed Shi'a's trip without success.
Wang Can sighed and said in a deep voice: "Even though I have attached great importance to it and sent you to kill Zhuge Liang, you still failed. Although Zhuge Liang is young, his intelligence and methods are quite brilliant and must be treated with caution. Now it seems that sending you
The possibility of assassinating Zhuge Liang is almost zero. You let Wu Huang and the others take care of their injuries, and then return to the city to take charge of the situation. Now that Liu Bei is staying in the city, he must have something up his sleeve and must be closely monitored."
Shi A gritted his teeth and said, "Master, are you going to let Zhuge Liang go like this?"
Wang Can shook his head and said: "Zhuge Liang has defected to Liu Bei, and he is an enemy. Of course he cannot be let go. But Wu Huang and others are of no use if they stay, so let them return to the city as soon as possible."
"promise!"
Shi A nodded in agreement and immediately went to arrange things.
After Shi A left, Dian Wei suggested: "My lord, Zhuge Liang is so powerful. If we don't get rid of him, there will be endless troubles. Why don't we take the soldiers from Langya Camp, along with crossbows and gunpowder, and kill Zhuge Liang directly. Then burn them."
Destroy thatched huts, destroy corpses and destroy traces.”
Wang Can shook his head and said: "When we intercepted Liu Bei, we also sent some soldiers from Langya Camp to assist Shi A. With crossbows and gunpowder, we will definitely be able to kill Zhuge Liang. But now intercepting Liu Bei has attracted Liu Biao's attention. Liu Biao
Soldiers will definitely be dispatched to patrol and search, and once we show up, we are likely to be discovered!"
If you fail the first time, it will be difficult the second time.
Dian Wei curled his lips and said, "What are you afraid of? Even if Liu Biao discovers it, we will retreat immediately."
Wang Can pointed at Dian Wei and laughed and cursed: "Bullshit, I came to Xiangyang specifically to plan Xiangyang. If I leave now, wouldn't everything be in vain?"
Dian Wei rolled his eyes, expressing his helplessness.
…
Liu Bei, Yi Ji and the captain leading the army entered the city and went straight to the palace.
The three of them made an excuse and left quietly on the way, so they did not encounter Wang Can's interception. When they were about to arrive at the palace, a soldier hurried to the captain's side on horseback and whispered a few words. Immediately, the captain's face changed drastically.
, said in a low voice: "King Han, the team that attracted others' attention was indeed ambushed, and the entire army has been annihilated."
"What?"
Liu Bei had already guessed the result, but he still pretended to be surprised.
Yi Ji also knew what was going on and cooperated with Liu Bei to show a horrified expression.
Liu Bei pondered for a while and said solemnly: "From this, it seems that someone really wants to kill me. Fortunately, the general returned to Xiangyang alone with us, otherwise we would all be dead."
After hearing this, the captain showed a happy expression.
After the three of them arrived at the palace, the captain turned around and left. Yi Ji and Liu Bei went straight to the palace.
Yi Ji said: "My lord, Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and others are still in the palace. You must be careful and find a way to keep them away, otherwise this trip will be very dangerous."
Liu Bei nodded and said: "Stop talking, lest others find out."
The two people quickly came to the main hall.
Liu Biao was sitting on the throne, with the three-foot long sword in his hand resting on the desk. It was as bright and clear as a pool of autumn water, shining brightly. When Liu Biao saw Liu Bei walking in, his eyes suddenly widened, his expression serious and cold, and
The hands on his knees suddenly clenched into fists, and his breathing became slightly quickened.
Obviously, Liu Biao had serious murderous intentions towards Liu Bei.
After Yi Ji and Liu Bei came in, they saluted Liu Biao one after another.
Before Liu Bei could speak, Cai Mao stood up and shouted loudly: "Liu Xuande, my lord gave you money and food to recruit troops, but you did not command the soldiers on the front line, but sneaked back to Xiangyang without authorization. Could it be that you have some conspiracy?"
As soon as Cai Mao opened his mouth, he pursued and attacked Liu Bei fiercely, without giving Liu Bei any chance to argue.
Yi Ji interrupted: "King Chu, I have something to report."
When Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang saw Yi Ji talking, they nodded slightly, as if they were sure of something.
Liu Biao said: "Uncle Ji, what do you want to say?"
Yi Ji had a heavy expression on his face and said sadly: "King Chu, among the soldiers brought back to the King of Han this time, except for the leading captain and a few soldiers, all the other soldiers were killed."
"What, how could this happen?"
Liu Biao turned his eyes and stared at Liu Bei.
He grabbed the hilt of the sword and looked fierce, as if Liu Bei had killed all the soldiers.
Kuai Liang was surprised and could not calm down. Xiangyang was the capital of the Chu State, equivalent to the emperor's feet, but someone actually killed the Chu soldiers in Xiangyang, which was simply audacious.
Kuai Liang immediately asked: "Uncle Ji, what is going on?"
Yiji was already prepared and said directly: "On our way back, Zhuge Kongming said that someone wanted to deal with the King of Han, so he suggested that the soldiers take the official road. We returned from the small path. By the time we entered the city, the soldiers who took the official road had been killed.
, only a few of us survived, these people committed crimes in broad daylight, it was too rampant."
After Liu Biao listened, he said calmly: "I understand."
With four words, the matter was put aside.
Liu Biao thought about it again and felt that this matter should not be taken lightly, so he gave instructions again: "Yidu, Zirou, I will leave this matter to you two for a thorough investigation. Send a large army to patrol outside the city to find out who is behind it as soon as possible."
"promise!"
Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang responded with clasped fists. They both felt a little heavy, because they thought that the matter was definitely not that simple, and there might be something hidden inside.
Liu Biao said again: "Okay, you all go down, Xuande and I will have a good chat."
"I humbly obey my orders!"
Yi Ji, Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang and Cai Mao bowed to Liu Biao, turned around and left the hall.
Cai Mao wanted to blame Liu Bei, but Liu Biao's order made him frustrated and he could only leave sadly. Yiji was happy because Liu Biao and Liu Bei talked alone, which increased Liu Bei's chance of success. As for the Kuai brothers, the two now have
As he was busy with his mission to investigate the killing of soldiers, he had no time to worry about Liu Bei.
"Crunch!"
The palace door was closed, leaving only Liu Bei and Liu Biao.
Liu Biao raised his eyebrows and shouted suddenly: "Liu Xuande, do you know your guilt?"
Liu Bei knew that Liu Biao was going to raise an army to investigate, so he was well prepared. He looked calm, neither humble nor arrogant, without any panic, and said in an unhurried manner: "Brother Jingsheng, if you ask me about my unauthorized return to Xiangyang, I have indeed done this."
That's out of line. But you want to ask for guilt, but I can't figure out what the crime is?"
When Liu Biao heard this, he felt angry.
