Chapter 1003: Liu Bei returns to Xiangyang
After all, no agreement was reached on the matter of establishing a new lord.
Yi Yuan and others supported Liu Bei's entry into Xiangyang, but Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang and Liu Xian did not agree.
Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang, Liu Xian and Cai Mao are powerful factions and hold the power of Chu State, they do not agree to set Liu Bei as the master, and Yi and others can only give up, so the matter is temporarily put on hold.
In the side hall, Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang and Liu Xian sat opposite each other.
Kuai Yue took the lead and said: "Brother, Shizong, now it is rumored that Wang Can murdered the lord, what do you think?" ”
After Liu Biao, Liu Cong and Liu Qi were killed, it didn't take long for it to be reported that it was Wang Can who murdered Liu Biao's father and son, and it was very fast and spread all over the city. When this matter was said in the main hall, the civil and military officials were indignant to arrest Wang Can and avenge Liu Biao, as for Yi, Fu Xun, and Yang Yi, they insisted that Wang Can wanted to seize Jingzhou by unscrupulous means.
Liu Xian sneered: "If it is said that Wang Can's army is outside the city, and then it is rumored that Wang Can murdered the lord, the eldest son and the second son, I will still believe it." But Wang Can is it useful to hide everywhere and kill the lord? Obviously impossible. ”
Kuai Liang continued: "I don't think it's Wang Can, because killing the lord Wang Can now won't get half of the benefits, and the timing is not right." In particular, the armies of the Cao clan and the Sun clan began to enter Jingzhou, once the lord was killed, and there was no heir, the state of Chu was in turmoil, and Wang Can defeated Zhang Yun and Wen Ping, and he might not be able to get Jingzhou, so I think it is impossible for Wang Can to make a move. ”
Kuai Yue nodded and said: "I also think so, but I found that Yi and Zhuge Liang have a very close relationship, and Zhuge Liang still stayed in Yi Mansion, so it is possible that Liu Bei is the murderer, and the person who plots may be Zhuge Liang." ”
In a word, the target was directed at Zhuge Liang.
Kuai Liang shook his head and said; "The lord lives deep in the palace, Zhuge Liang is cultivating and studying in Longzhong, does he have such great ability?"
Kuai Liangliang felt puzzled in his heart, thinking that it might not be Zhuge Liang.
Liu Xian said: "Zhuge Liang is a young man, and the Zhuge family has long taken root in Jingzhou, and it is normal to have power. Zirou, the Kuai family is a Jingxiang family, I'm afraid there is eyeliner in the palace. If I say no, I don't believe it. I think not only the Kuai family, but even the Cai family and the Huang family may have people in the palace as eyeliners, but some people don't want to find out the news, but plan more, so in the current situation, the lord's family has been killed. ”
After hearing this, Kuai Yue nodded.
In the palace of Nuoda, there are people coming in and out every year, and the Kuai family must have eyeliner.
However, the Kuai family arranged all maids and waiters, which were inconspicuous, and it was impossible to arrange a concubine, all that could be done was to listen to the tone, which had no impact on Liu Biao.
Kuai Liang said: "Shi Zong, there is some truth in your statement. ”
Liu Xian sneered and continued: "The words that the three of us are muttering are still speculation, and they are only speculated through the actions of Yi Yuan and others, and there is no real evidence. However, what I can be sure of is that as long as Liu Bei returns to Xiangyang with his troops in a short time, it must be Liu Bei who murdered the lord and wanted to seize the land of Jingzhou. ”
Three people, non-stop discussing.
……
The Ichi Mansion, in the study.
Zhuge Liang, Yi Yuan, Fu Xun, Yang Yi and others sat in it.
Yi Ji said in a deep voice: "Military advisor, Liu Biao, Liu Cong and Liu Qi are all dead, and we also openly support the lord's ascension to the throne, but Cai Mao controls Xiangyang, even if the lord returns with his troops, we will not be able to succeed." ”
Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Mr. Jibo, don't worry, everything is expected, don't worry." ”
After a pause, Zhuge Liang said: "After the lord returns to Xiangyang, if they are willing to cooperate, let them stay." If they don't want to cooperate, they can only be controlled. "Kuai Yue, Cai Mao and others are from the Jingxiang clan, and Zhuge Liang doesn't dare to act rashly, he can control but he doesn't dare to kill.
The strength of the Jingxiang clan is too great, and Zhuge Liang has some scruples.
Yang Yi said: "Strategist, when will the lord be able to return to Xiangyang?" ”
Sun Qian was the first to reply: "Lord Yang, rest assured, it only takes two days for the lord to return with his troops." When the time comes, we will welcome the lord into Xiangyang according to the plan of the military division, and the overall situation will be decided. ”
Fu Xun said: "Strategist, the most important thing at present is to gather people and attract more talents. ”
Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and said slowly: "You do these things, you are a figure with a head and a face in Xiangyang, it should be easy to organize a team." ”
When several people heard this, they all nodded in agreement.
Several of them have been living in Xiangyang and are indeed capable of completing it.
……
South of Xiangyang City, in the mountains and forests.
Wang Can moved from Da Xian Mountain and changed his place of residence.
Because Wang Can has been hiding, the news is not well-informed, and it all depends on Wu Huang to spread the news.
At this time, Shi A hurriedly ran to the grass house that was built, and said in a deep voice: "Lord, Wu Huang has a shocking news, Liu Biao, Liu Qi and Liu Cong's father and son were killed today, and now Xiangyang has no owner, and the situation is very complicated. ”
"Cousin Liu's father and son are dead?"
Wang Can was instantly petrified, feeling incredible, this was too unexpected.
Liu Biao, Liu Qi and Liu Cong are all doing well, how could something happen?
Wang Can frowned, stretched out his hand to take the note handed over by Shi A, carefully browsed the news from Wu Huang, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Shi A, did Wu Huang send someone to do it?" ”
Shi A shook his head and said, "Lord, without your order, Wu Huang didn't dare to make a move. Besides, Wu Huang laid eyeliner in the palace, but it was not to the point where he could kill Liu Biao, which was impossible. Moreover, the assassination of Liu Qi and Liu Cong was such a big thing, it was easy to expose his whereabouts, and Wu Huang did not dare to do this. ”
Wang Can said: "In this case, who will it be? It is also rumored that I killed Liu Biao, which is nonsense. ”
As he spoke, Wang Can's name flashed through Zhuge Liang's mind.
Although Zhuge Liang is young, he must not be treated as a hairy boy. Even if Zhuge Liang lacks experience, his brain is very bright, and Zhuge Liang's methods are clever, it may be that Zhuge Liang planned it.
Shi Ah asked; "Lord, the situation in Xiangyang has changed greatly, what should we do?"
Wang Can said in a deep voice: "Check, check Liu Bei's movements first." ”
Immediately, Wang Can ordered again, "Our actions must be changed, if we keep wandering outside Xiangyang City, we can't do anything, and we can't control the situation." Even if Wu Huang mediated it, it would be difficult to play a role. You get all the people ready, and when the gates of Xiangyang open, we will disperse and sneak into the city. ”
Shi Ah immediately shook his head and said; "Lord, your safety is important, you can't go."
Wang Can said with a straight face: "Although some people slander me, and we are still wanted, the focus of the matter is no longer on me, but on the winner of Xiangyang City. Because of this, we have to infiltrate the city and plan well to make it easier to strike. Now the city gate is closed, but it is impossible for Xiangyang to keep the city gate closed. When the gates were opened, we slipped into the city, hiding, and waiting for an opportunity. ”
Seeing that Wang Can had made a decision, Shi Ah knew that he could not object.
At this time, what can be done is to arrange measures to protect Wang Can.
……
Liu Bei left Xiangyang with his guards and hurried away.
For more than a day, Liu Bei joined the army that had secretly sneaked back, and then turned around and returned to Xiangyang. Although there were more people and the speed of the journey was slower, Liu Bei forcibly sped up.
On the way, Liu Bei received the news that Liu's father and son had been killed, and he was overjoyed. He chose to believe Zhuge Liang, but he always felt unsteady in his heart, but he didn't expect Liu Biao to really die. In this way, Liu Bei can go to the banner of condolences, have a reason to enter the city, and have the hope of planning Xiangyang.
Liu Bei was full of pride in his heart, and quickly rushed with his soldiers towards Xiangyang.
If he hurried at the usual pace, Liu Bei would have taken at least two days.
But he marched all the way, and it only took a day and a half to bring a large army to Xiangyang City. Liu Bei's army suddenly appeared outside the city, and the situation in Xiangyang suddenly became delicate, and a big battle seemed to have begun to brew. Especially Cai Mao, he was even more nervous and ready to start a war with Liu Bei.
