Zhuge Liang's face was as dark as water. He looked at the neat and tidy Jingzhou soldiers and horses in the distance. He subconsciously clenched his hands into fists and slammed them on the railing of the light carriage. Next to him, Liu Bei looked very calm and did not show any panic at all.
Instead, he commanded the troops and horses to retreat slowly.
This Jingzhou army appeared very suddenly.
The general who commanded the troops was none other than Wenpin, who was known as the most powerful general in Jingzhou.
When Wenpin appeared outside Xiangyang City, Liu Bei knew that something was wrong. You know, when Wenpin returned to Xiangyang after being ordered to resist Cao's army in Zhangling? At least before that, Liu Bei had not heard any news, indicating that
Xiangyang has already been prepared.
"This must be Kuai Yidu's plan."
Zhuge Liang was holding a feather fan and his eyes were shining.
Liu Bei smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Ji Bo, we are in danger!"
The two have different experiences and personalities, so they consider different things.
Zhuge Liang was thinking about how to deal with this sudden change; while Liu Bei was more worried about the Yi nationality in Xiangyang City.
If Wenpin is here, his Iraqi citizenship will definitely be in danger.
And there must be unknown changes in Xiangyang City, which makes Liu Bei worried.
"Mr. Xuande, please come and speak."
Wenpin did not launch an attack immediately, but stood ready to monitor Liu Bei's movements. After a while, he urged his horse forward, put his gun across the horse, put his hands together and shouted.
"Brother, I will accompany you."
Zhang Fei, who came from the north gate, quickly volunteered.
But Liu Bei waved his hand and said with a gentle smile: "Zhong Ye and even a sincere gentleman will definitely not carry out sneak attacks. Yi De will not be troublesome."
After that, he urged his horse to the front of the formation, cupped his hands and said, "Zhongye, what do you have to say?"
Wenpin stared at Liu Bei with extremely complex eyes, and after a while he sighed softly, "Mr.
My friend invited me to Xiangyang and decided to join the imperial court.
This is not something Xuande can do!
Today, I remember the past friendship and will not pursue you; but once the young master succeeds to the throne, he will definitely seek to capture Fancheng. When the time comes, you and I will meet on the battlefield, and each will be his own master, so there is no need to show mercy."
Wenpin was a native of Nanyang County and was born in Wan County.
He respected Liu Bei quite a lot and had previous contacts with him. When the Jingxiang clan clashed with the Shanyang old tribe, Wenpin took a neutral attitude. Then when Liu Bei and the Cai clan clashed, although Wenpin was sympathetic to Liu Cong, he never felt embarrassed.
Liu Bei, on the other hand, took good care of him.
But now, they have become enemies.
Liu Bei knew very well that Wenpin was able to do this, which was already the most benevolent and righteous act.
He also intended to recruit Wenpin, but unfortunately he was unsuccessful. Liu Bei was relying on someone else at the time, and Wenpin was already the number one general under Liu Biao, in charge of the cavalry, and he relied heavily on him. Wenpin was a native of Jingzhou, so he naturally wanted to go to Jingxiang.
.Although he respects Liu Bei very much, he will not give up his future easily and go to Liu Bei. You know, Liu Bei still has no place to stay, how can he make Wenpin surrender? He is not an old minister like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
, with a family and a family, it is difficult to change the house easily.
Liu Bei couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart, but he also knew that things must not be violated.
So, he raised his hands on the horse and said, "Keep Zhongye's feelings today in mind, and I will repay you sooner or later."
"move!"
Wenpin forced a smile and said, "If Cao Peng and his wife reach an agreement, Mr. Xuande will definitely be in danger."
In his words, Wenpin was also reminding Liu Bei: Cao Peng can't use his hands to deal with you now, because he and Mrs. Cai have not reached an agreement yet. But once he reaches an agreement, and he can free his hands, he will definitely give you a heavy blow.
.You'd better make plans in advance.
Liu Bei said no more, immediately handed over his hand, turned his horse and left.
"General, if you let Liu Bei go like this, I'm afraid General Cai will be blamed."
Seeing that Wenpin was about to let Liu Bei go, his subordinates couldn't help but stepped forward and reminded him softly.
Wenpin's face was calm. After looking at his entourage, he didn't explain anything. He turned his horse's head and said, "I am responsible for everything."
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++
Just when Wenpin was confronting Liu Bei in the eastern suburbs.
The city of Xiangyang has gradually calmed down. Liu Bei's attempt to capture Xiangyang failed, which also caused the fierce bandits in the city to suddenly lose their ideas.
After Wang Wei led his troops to eliminate several groups of fierce bandits, the remaining ones abandoned their weapons and surrendered.
I originally thought that I could take this opportunity to change my appearance and find a better life. But I never expected that this would be the result. After the bandits surrendered, Xiangyang City gradually became calm. At this time, Cao Peng was sitting in a building in the middle of the state.
Side hall, with a leisurely look.
Opposite him was Mrs. Cai, dressed in mourning clothes and lightly applying pink and white, looking quite dignified.
In the story of Luo Dahuang, Mrs. Cai is a vicious and stupid woman. She repeatedly tried to kill Liu Bei, but also single-handedly handed over Jingzhou to Cao Cao, forcing Liu Bei to defeat Changbanpo. Therefore, when future generations mention Mrs. Cai, most of them
There is disdain in the words.
But now when Mrs. Cai and Cao Peng were sitting face to face, Cao Peng had a different feeling...
Is this woman really that stupid and vicious?
Not really!
Cao Peng is now a father, so of course he can understand the feeling of being a parent. Everything Mrs. Cai has done is to put it bluntly, for her son Liu Cong. In fact, if Liu Qi succeeds to the throne, he will never let Liu Cong go. Cai Peng will never let Liu Cong go.
Madam suppressed Liu Qi, to be honest, in order to protect her own flesh and blood. Moreover, when Liu Biao died, people in Jingzhou were in a state of confusion. The Jingxiang family had their own plans and plans, which she, a weak woman, could not control. Naturally, Madam Cai needed to help her and her
The son of Cai Cao is planning a future. Cao Cao is powerful. If Mrs. Cai insists on competing with Cao Cao, regardless of the outcome, the lives of Jingzhou will be ruined. Will the Jingxiang family tolerate such a result?
Well, she can also contact Sun Quan.
But if Cao Cao is a fierce tiger, then Sun Quan is a ferocious wolf.
Jiangdong has long coveted Jingzhou. Whether it is Sun Ce or Sun Quan, which one does not eye Jingzhou with covetous eyes? Not to mention whether Sun Quan will agree to the alliance, she is a widow, although she has a family to rely on, she may not be able to deal with Sun Quan. More
What's more, there is Liu Bei, hiding in the dark, who may give her a fatal blow at any time. In this case, taking refuge with Cao Cao seems to be the best choice.
Don't listen to Luo Da's deception in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, after Mrs. Cai and Liu Cong surrendered to Cao Cao, they were murdered by Cao Cao.
But in real history, both Mrs. Cai and Liu Cong basically met a good death. Especially Liu Cong, who was named the governor of Qingzhou and the Marquis of Bailie.
This Mrs. Cai is by no means a stupid woman.
At this time, she was dressed in mourning clothes, as charming as pear blossoms with rain.
As the old saying goes, if you want to be pretty, be filial.
Although Mrs. Cai did not dress up deliberately, she was indeed a real beauty. Sitting in the hall, a man with weak concentration would be in a state of excitement.
Fortunately, Cao Peng was well-informed and was not affected.
He quietly observed Mrs. Cai, and Mrs. Cai was also observing him...
Mrs. Cai had also heard of Cao Peng for a long time and was curious about him. The first time she heard of Cao Peng's name was probably ten years ago. In the second year of Jian'an, Cao Peng was framed by Huang She and had to leave his hometown.
At that time, Pang Degong came forward to express his grievances for Cao Peng and complained to Liu Biao. On the one hand, Liu Biao doted on Huang Zu, but on the other hand, he wanted to settle the matter, so he persuaded Pang Degong not to make trouble anymore.
When Pang Degong left, Pang Ji, who had been angry and separated from fashion, said: "Jing Sheng, sooner or later, you will regret it!"
This sentence later reached Mrs. Cai's ears, and she also laughed at it.
Liu Cong was still young at that time, and all Mrs. Cai's thoughts were on her beloved son, so she did not intervene in the matter. However, when she heard Pang Degong's words, she curiously asked the maid next to her: Who is this Cao Peng? He was actually raped.
Why does De Gong value it so much?
However, Cao Peng was still in decline at that time and unknown to people.
Therefore, the maids didn't know much about Cao Peng, so naturally they couldn't answer.
Later, Cao Peng began to show his prowess after his humble residence, and was praised by Liu Biao. At that time, Liu Biao had forgotten about Cao Peng, but Mrs. Cai still remembered it in his heart. After that, Cao Peng made many amazing moves. He hoped that his father would become a dragon.
, wrote an 800-character essay, which was sung by the world...Then the Three-Character Classic and the Disciples' Guide came out, and he was respected as the first person in Meng Xue. If you want to be enlightened, you must read Cao Sanpian's article! Even Liu Cong's enlightenment was caused by
The beginning of those three Mongolian articles also made Mrs. Cai pay more attention to Cao Peng. Later, Cao Peng burned the white horse, fought in Yanjin, beheaded Yanliang and punished Wenchou... In three years, Liangzhou turned a barbaric place into a wealthy place.
Therefore, he even pacified the Qiang and Hu, killed Ma Teng, and sought Liangzhou for Cao Cao. He even got angry and killed Wei Duan, and then Cao Cao had to make Cao Ji the shepherd of Liangzhou...
Mrs. Cai is very clear about each stroke and achievement.
On the other hand, in the first year of Jian'an, Huang She, who was praised as a "hero" by Liu Biao, is now a pile of withered bones, and his superiority is obvious...
She began to understand why Mr. Pang De left such a sentence in the first place.
In fact, when Cao Peng became the governor of Nanyang County, Liu Biao also expressed regret in private!
Unfortunately, it's too late.
"Young Master, are you from Jingzhou?"
"Exactly!"
Mrs. Cai's voice is very nice, with a Jingzhou-specific intonation.
Although it is not as charming as Wu Nong's soft words, it still has a certain style and flavor in it.
A pair of beautiful eyes swept over and over Cao Peng's body... She said softly: "Xiao Pang Shangshu once said that the young master is a great man in the world and a real man.
In the past, my late husband treated the young master unfairly, but I hope that the young master will not be blamed."
"The things of the past have long been forgotten.
Without the hard work of the past, how could Cao Peng be today? Mencius said: When heaven is about to give a great responsibility to a man, his will must be hardened first... Now that I think about it carefully, there is no injustice in Liu Jingzhou, so why should I blame him? On the contrary,
Madam, once Liu Jingzhou left, all the disputes, big and small, came one after another, but it was very painful."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Cai's eyes couldn't help but turn red, but suddenly a flash of light flashed through her eyes.
But he is a sweet and considerate person!
Thinking about it carefully, Mrs. Cai felt miserable in her heart.
Once Liu Biao died, all the major and minor matters in the nine counties of Jingxiang were decided by her. Liu Cong was still young, and Mrs. Cai was a woman, so you can imagine the pressure she had to bear.
Cao Peng's words hit the mark on Mrs. Cai's thoughts.
She suddenly made up her mind, raised her head, stared at Cao Peng and said, "Master, can I entrust you with my trust?"
"ah?"
"I understand what the master is thinking.
It’s just a concubine but I don’t know, can the young master represent the prime minister?
If I can represent you, I have three requests. As long as the young master can agree to these three requests, I am willing to hand over the nine counties of Jingxiang to the prime minister."
