Chapter 178: Liu Ba!
The tongue of fire, which started from the inner city, quickly swept away!
In the scorching heat of summer, even people can be burned, let alone those wood that absorbs heat all day?
Cracking sound~
The fire is getting bigger and bigger, so big that it almost engulfs the whole of Xiangyang!
Cai Mao's face in the lobby was very gloomy, and the whole person was like a walking cloud!
"Where did this fire come from?"
Kneeling on the ground was a small colonel, and at this moment he was trembling, afraid that Cai Mao would cut him off in anger!
"It seems to be in Liu, Liu's Mansion!"
Liu's house?
"Liu Ba? How dare he? ”
Cai Mao's face was very ugly, when did this Liu Ba have such courage to dare to set fire to Xiangyang, did he think this Xiangyang would fall?
"You listen to me, within two quarters of an hour, put out the fire for me, and in addition, bring me the dog head of Liu Ba!"
"No!" Xiao Xiao's face was full of sweat, and he was relieved at the moment, so he hurriedly retreated, and after the Xiao Xiao Colonel left, he walked up.
"De Jue, wouldn't it be too hasty to do this, after all, Liu Ba is not low in the Shi clan!"
Is the hope low?
Even if he is the leader of the Shi clan, I, Cai Mao, will also kill him with a knife!
"This is an extraordinary time!"
"Alas!" He sighed, and finally retreated.
The Liu family is also a famous scholar in Jingchu, and Liu Ba is a scholar on the same level as Huang Chengyan!
But.... So what?
It's already interesting enough to say a word for him yourself!
Your Liu family is not a family of the Liu family, why do I care so much, I am even thinking about receiving the ancestral property of the Liu family at this moment........
Somewhere in Xiangyang City, there are hundreds of warriors dressed in black, led by a middle-aged man with a sword, not Liu Ba, who is it?
Liu Ba, the beginning of the character, was a native of Haoyang County, Lingling County, Jingzhou (now Hengyang County, Shaodong County, Hunan Province).
Liu Ba is less well-known, and Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao has been requisitioned and elected many times, and Liu Ba should not be compromised. Cao Cao conquered Jingzhou, and most of the scholars in Jingzhou returned to Liu Bei, but Liu Ba went north to join Cao Cao. Later, he was ordered by Cao Cao to surrender the three counties of Jingnan, but unexpectedly Liu Bei obtained it first, and Liu Ba could not return to Cao Cao, so he went as far as Jiaozhi and entered Yizhou.
Liu Ba is actually an opportunist, he has no loyalty to the king, in his eyes, only interests!
His interests do not refer to material gains, but to fame!
Coats' reputation
Beishan descended to Cao because the benefits given by Cao Cao were big enough, and then he descended to Shu because he wanted to survive, and now, Liu Ba has an excellent opportunity.
Set fire to the city and welcome Liu into Xiangyang!
If this merit is established, it can be greater than the reputation of Cao!
So Liu Ba did it, Liu Ba, who burned the city, was especially dissatisfied, and he had to take a step closer!
Kill Cao Cao's envoy and dedicate it to Liu Bei!
"Everyone, raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, my Liu Mansion has been supporting you for a long time, and it is also the time for you to repay each other, rest assured, after your death, your family is small, all supported by my Liu family, and those who have children in the family can also learn for free, and if you want to get such benefits, there is only one requirement!"
Liu Ba looked at the performance of the man in black in front of him, nodded involuntarily, and continued: "My request is to cut off Xu Shu's head!" ”
Beheading Xu Shu?
"You understand?"
"Little Leader!"
Raising soldiers for a thousand days is a matter of care, and his family has been in Liu's Mansion for so long, it's time to repay it.
Of course, what makes them most tempted is not to repay this ethereal thing, but to have no worries about food and clothing after the family, and the children in the family can learn!
The lives of the people in the Three Kingdoms are so worthless, if you can use your own cheap life to exchange for a family with worry-free food and clothing, as well as the future of your children, then why not change it?
Change!
Liu Ba's eyes were deep, and the light of the fire shone in his eyes, swaying a little penetrating!
And the hundred people in black clothes have been like shadows in the middle of the night, slowly sneaking into the big mansion outside the inner city, the feast of blood, this has just begun!
The firelight reflected Xiangyang into a bright giant torch, and the night into day, which was also reflected in Liu Bei's eyes.
At this moment, where did Liu Bei take care of so much, with a wave of his big hand, thousands of sergeants, carrying the equipment to defend the city, rushed forward quickly!
The war seems to be coming to an end!
The fire in the city is tantamount to a basin of cold water poured from the head to the bottom of the heart for the defenders of Xiangyang, and for the troops of Liu Bei and Liu Qi who are besieging the city, it is tantamount to a tube of chicken blood!
Combat power is swishing up!
This is the case, and Xiangyang City fell into turmoil for a while!
But at the same time, the torch-like Xiangyang City also attracted the troops from the vicinity of Xiangyang, and they flocked to Xiangyang City, which was only a short walk away, and the situation was very critical!
Farther away, dozens of miles away from Xiangyang, while Xiahoudun and Zhang Liao were marching, they suddenly saw the light of fire in the direction of Xiangyang.
Zhang Liao and Xiahoudun both had strange looks on their faces, especially Xiahoudun, whose faces were as uncomfortable as eating flies!
Could it be that Xiangyang City is broken?
Xiahoudun and Zhang Liao glanced at each other, and they all shook their heads!
How can a city defended by 100,000 troops be broken if it is broken, it is impossible!
But although the city could not be broken, it was also a time when the situation was very critical!
Hurry up and race against time!
"Command the whole army, go at full speed!"
Xiahoudun roared, took the lead, and rushed forward quickly!
For more than ten miles, for the prime minister's cavalry, it won't be used for an hour, this Xiangyang, what happened, let me wait and see when I arrive!
Zhang Liao touched the horse's buttocks with a horsewhip, and with a clamp between his legs, he also flew out like an arrow!
This army suddenly became a lot faster, and slowly approached Xiangyang City!
In the inner room of the Governor's Mansion, Huang Chengyan, dressed as a hermit, sat at the bottom, and at the top, Mrs. Cai, dressed as a noblewoman!
"Brother-in-law, what should I do about this?"
Huang Chengyan smiled, his face was light.
"Madame thinks Uncle Liu Huang will win?"
Mrs. Cai shook her head, Xiangyang's 100,000 army, even if there are a few rat feces in the city to stir up the situation, it can't be broken!
Huang Chengyan shook his head with a smile, his tone was a little regretful!
"I think Xiangyang will break!"
Will it break?
Mrs. Cai smiled, but there was a different look in her eyes, and asked, "Why?" ”
Huang Chengyan smiled and did not directly answer Mrs. Cai's question.
"Madam, why don't you and I make a bet!"
Bet?
"Bet on what?"
"If I win, then you will demote Uncle Liuhuang!"
"What if I win?" Mrs. Cai's eyes were shining, looking at Huang Chengyan, there was other brilliance in her eyes!
"If you win, I will let Emperor Liu Uncle Liu Qi give up Jiangxia! Even if you can't, the Jing Chu clan is only the first lady to look forward! ”
Mrs. Cai got up, but walked to Huang Chengyan's side!
"If I win, you stay in Xiangyang, what?"
Huang Chengyan frowned, avoided Mrs. Cai's onion hand with some disgust, took a step back, and said: "Even if you stay in Xiangyang, it's not impossible!" ”
