The sky is cloudy, like some conspiracy behind the clouds.

An uneasy spread among the crowd, and the fugitives no longer had the strength to argue, and even had little desire to speak. Everyone was like a fish thrown ashore, opening their mouths and panting, but the next moment seemed to be dying.

After the Cao army defeated the Jiangdong soldiers in Dangyang, they did not play any role in saving the suffering, nor even stayed for a long time. After a brief renovation and supply, they turned around and went north and left the people of Jingzhou Nanjun, who were carried by the Jiangdong soldiers here.

Those who know about military affairs naturally understand why the Cao army cavalry did this, but these ordinary people in the Nanjun of Jingzhou were in a daze...

The original home was destroyed by the Jiangdong army, and the Dangyang Bridge also collapsed, so the people of Jingzhou Nanjun naturally could not continue to walk south. Under the leadership of whom, most people subconsciously chose to turn north, in an attempt to avoid the cruel and unreasonable Jiangdong people.

My home has been destroyed, and when I go back, I cannot guarantee that the people of Jiangdong will not come again. Therefore, it is safe to go north and north.

That should be...

They are from Jingzhou, and there is the governor of Jingzhou in Xiangyang to the north.

Since he is the governor of Jingzhou, he can't ignore the people of Jingzhou?

Perhaps that's the case...

The official road extends.

The ragged people staggered with little hope.

No one knows whether this hope can be realized, but this hope is all they have in the end.

Xiangyang City.

As an important official in Jingzhou, Liu Biao naturally could not allow Kuai Liang to live freely outside Xiangyang City.

In Jingzhou, Liu Biao's actions were basically a breath. After Kuai Liang came to the door to ask Liu Biao to send troops but failed, he rarely went out and wandered around his home most of the time throughout the day. If someone asked for a look, he would also refuse his own bad luck and blocked the door.

Kuai Liang was so calm, but the rest could not hold on. Now Xiangyang City is becoming more and more dangerous. Although Cao's army has not attacked the city in the past two days, do you know how long Xiangyang can last? Now these Jingzhou natives should have a certain idea to support Liu Biao, and then it is almost equivalent to accompanying Liu Biao to die together, or they might as well sell Liu Biao, and while Liu Biao still has a price...

There are many gentry in Jingzhou, and overall, they are led by Pang Degong. Now, Pang Degong and his group have all gone to Wancheng. The group led by Cai is now scattered, and the rest are naturally the Nanjun faction headed by Kuai.

Not to mention that day, Kuai Liang asked for a meeting in front of Liu Biao's office, and entered the hall for a long time to discuss. When he came out, he was sick and did not see outsiders at home. The rest of the people were naturally concerned about what was the conversation between Kuai Liang and Liu Biao?

Although Cao's army did not attack the city in the past two days, everyone became more and more urgent. They also secretly gathered and discussed in private. After talking, most of the opinions of everyone were left alone. As the governor of Jingzhou, Liu Biao's duty was to guard Jingzhou. Now that he could not control it, how could he be "mu"?

The time to choose the least, and the time to compare the bad is here. Although everyone understands that Cao Cao is not a good thing, at least it is not like the rural gangsters in Jiangdong who wish they could even plunder the land. They will still leave some things for the Jingzhou gentry. It is impossible to be so crazy that they want to empty Jingzhou like Sun Quan? Besides, Jingzhou has an old grudge with the Sun family, and there is no such thing as Cao Cao. Moreover, Cao Cao still represents the Han court. Strictly speaking, Sun Quan is just a poor general. Is there any need to say more about how to choose?

As long as everyone agrees and sells Liu Biao at a good price, even if some people may suffer some losses, their own land can still be saved...

If Liu Biao kept going with his breath, the current situation would be so bad. Could it be that he would have to wait until his family was destroyed before he could stop?

With such a consensus, the Jingzhou gentry in Xiangyang City began to slowly change their minds, and their attitude towards Kuai Liang became much more determined. Even though the Kuai family's concierge repeatedly emphasized that Kuai Liang was in good health, Han Song didn't leave and sat in the concierge. Han Song's servants stood outside the door silently, as if they had to wait until the end of time.

Han Song didn't wait long. After a while, when Kuai Liang saw Han Song's attitude, he sent someone to lead Han Song to the yard. When he met, he said directly: "Great virtue, why is this?"

Han Song did not speak directly, and looked around and saw a few volumes of books scattered beside the table, with some new ink on it, as if Kuai Liang was free to read the annotations carefully. He couldn't help but feel a little angry. Now the future of the Jingxiang gentry is unpredictable, and Xiangyang is in a state of uncertainty. You Kuai Liang still have the heart to read the book?

But there are still etiquettes that should be there. Han Song greeted Kuai Liang, but after sitting down for a while, he almost jumped up again after chatting for a while. "Wait for you? How can you wait for it? Pang Huang is like a monkey and a scattered, and the Cai family is like a jackal. Now there is only you and me left here in Jingxiang. The future is unpredictable, but I am waiting for you? Don't joke about it!"

In fact, the Jingxiang gentry was very chaotic, and it has been like this since Dong Zhuo was the one who was openly praised Pang Degong, but this kind of praise was more about knowledge and in daily affairs. Pang Degong did not have much binding force or control over the Jingxiang gentry.

It would be fine if I was usually not a good person, after all, there was no first in literature and no second in martial arts. Everyone is a scholar, so the problems that can be solved with words are not a problem...

The problem now is obviously that text alone cannot be solved.

Kuai Liang smiled slightly, then his eyes seemed to pass through the wall, swept around, and then signaled to Han Song, "Degao, why bother?"

Han Song's eyes narrowed.

Kuai Liang spoke very slowly, almost like a word of mouth.

Han Song and Kuai Liang looked at each other for a moment, suddenly became furious, stood up and pointed at Kuai Liang, "I never thought that you were such an irresponsible person! Han just took a look! It was really the heaven that destroyed Jingzhou! How sad! How painful!"

After cursing, Han Song turned around and left.

Kuai Liang was not angry either. He watched quietly, sitting next to the table, motionless.

…メ(-_-;)メ…

"How many other personnel can be called in the city?" Han Song said in a deep voice.

『Brother Han’s meaning…』

There are naturally Guanyang in Xiangyang, but at this moment, there are not many people left in Guanyin. The postmen were drawn to the top of the city, and of course the inn was empty. In addition, they were surrounded outside the city, so no one came here to disturb them. Instead, they became a place to calm down in the chaos.

Sitting opposite Han Song was Chen Sheng.

Chen Sheng was a commoner and a wanderer. He was originally a thief in Jiangxia. He once occupied Xiangyang with Zhang Hu to cause chaos. Later, after Liu Biao came, he and the Kuai family surrendered Chen Sheng and Zhang Hu. Later, he went to work at Huang Zu of Jiangxia. After Huang Zu of Jiangxia was defeated, he fled back to Xiangyang.

Han Song frowned and said, "Brother Kuai first said "for the sake", and then said "required", which means "avoiding" quickly... Therefore, we can see that there must be something wrong in the Kuai family's mansion, and I'm afraid that it has been controlled by the old thief... Although someone escaped by spitting and scolding, he may not have been hidden for a long time..."

Originally, Han Song couldn't understand. How could the Kuai family be quiet and silently said nothing? Now that he thought about it, he understood very well, not that he didn't say it, but that he couldn't say it. Since Liu Biao knew the attitude of the Kuai family, how could he let the Kuai family jump up and down at such a moment? A certain degree of imprisonment became inevitable.

After hearing Han Song's words, Chen Sheng couldn't help but ponder for a moment and replied respectfully: "I haven't been in Xiangyang for many years, many veterans have made mistakes... If I gather people now, there are less than a hundred reliable people... And these hundred people have not practiced for many years, so what is this skill...?"

"Hundreds of people?" Han Song frowned.

In fact, how many of these hundred people can be useful is an unknown number. In addition, although Chen Sheng had been in Xiangyang for many years, he left Xiangyang after all, so if Chen Sheng had not kept some of the love from the past, even these hundred people might not have been able to get together!

『Forget it! A hundred people are a hundred people!』 Han Song gritted his teeth and said, 『I am afraid that I will attract the attention of the old thief, and sooner or later, I will change...』

Han Song's eyes turned cold.

Clever is never waiting to die, especially when he is dragged by others and is waiting to die. Han Song feels that he is not particularly smart, but at least he is not a stupid person. He still doesn't know how to hide or struggle when his sword and axe are in front of him.

Chen Sheng did not express his objection, and he didn't even show his surprise because he didn't have much favoritism towards Liu Biao. Liu Biao said it very well when he was surrendering, but how many of it has been realized so far?

In some aspects, it was not that Liu Biao intended to break his promise, but after all, Liu Biao had nothing at the beginning, so in order to take over Xiangyang, he was naturally easy to say anything. After truly controlling Xiangyang, how could he be the dignified King of Lu Gong be interested in one or two promises with the civilians?

Han Song continued slowly, "The most taboo thing about doing this is nothing more than hesitation. Once the old thief reacts, we will definitely fall to the ground! Therefore, we should use the momentum of thunder to seize the door in one fell swoop! If the city gate is settled, it will be a good thing. When Cao's army enters the city, you and I will be the first contribution to the city! At that time, the official position will be rewarded with great value!"

Han Song's tone was not very exaggerated, and he just said in a plain manner, the lights swayed and shone on his face, rippling with some different colors.

At first, Han Song felt that Liu Biao was not very good, so he didn't pay any attention to Liu Biao at the beginning. Liu Biao thought Han Song was famous, so he half forced and half invited Han Song to be a different man. Later, he sent Han Song to serve as an envoy Cao Cao. As a result, Han Song came back and Liu Biao said that Han Song accepted Cao Cao's bribe and wanted to deal with Han Song. However, when he tortured the entourage who followed Han Song, he did not get any valid evidence, so it was left unresolved...

"If this move can be achieved, both inside and outside Jingzhou can be stable, but in a few years, how can you not be able to win the family and become an important official of the Han Dynasty? Isn't it better than to waste time under the old thief?" Han Song saw that Chen Sheng was still a little worried, so he drew a big cake.

Starting a family and building a business, and having a large family line, how many people have been going on for thousands of years, Chen Sheng is naturally no exception...

What Han Song said was not a fraud. After all, the Pang family's Huang family moved north and the Cai family had fled. The Jingzhou gentry was the remaining Kuai family and others. If this was used as a resource for the promotion, there would be some place in Jingzhou in the future.

"However, the city gate is heavy, and the guard must be strictly guarded..." Chen Sheng tried his best to be calm, but his slightly rapid breathing still exposed some of his mood. "Even if we have the opportunity to attack the city gate, we lack military armor on one hand, and we have no skills. If we fail to hit the city gate, we may be..."

『It's okay...』 Han Song laughed in a dark and dark smile, 『I had a decision... The old thief must be the secret son left by Cai in the city. If so...haha...』

What Han Song said was exactly what Liu Biao was worried about. During these days, Liu Biao was guarding outside the city and even inside the city. Although Liu Biao knew that there were secret sons of the Cai family in the city, the base of the tens of thousands of people, and whether the old lady Chaoyang took action, how could he identify who was better and who was bad?

Liu Biao has always been in charge of Jingzhou Prefecture, in order to deal with this unknown change at any time.

Because Liu Biao knew that if there were only foreign enemies to defend the city, there would be no problem in defending the city for the first half of the year, but if there was a rebellion within it, it might only take one night to overturn it! Liu Biao was not idle these days, so he sent Liu Xian to inspect the city just to capture the secret son left by the Cai family...

Then, finally, the traces of these secret sons of Cai were caught.

When a commotion broke out in Xiangyang City, Liu Biao suddenly felt heartbroken and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After all, if this hidden danger is solved, it means that Xiangyang will be safer.

The shouts of eliminating old thieves and killing evil spirits spread as the chaos spreads. At this moment, in Xiangyang City, I don’t know how many people have clearly heard this slogan, and how many people are talking about this or that...

I don’t know where it was ignited, and the flames soared into the air. In addition to the shouting, there were also crying and screams, which made the slogans that cut off the old thief and eliminated evil spirits look extremely ferocious.

On the Xiangyang City Gate Tower, Liu Cong was also awakened by such slogans. He rolled and crawled and looked at the city with wooden windows. He saw the fire swaying and the figures shaking. For a moment, his heart and courage were broken and his hands and feet were cold. Although Liu Cong secretly cursed Liu Biao more than once after entering the city gate tower, and even thought that Liu Biao could suddenly return to heaven and that he could escape the current predicament, but when he saw the riot in the city, his worries about Liu Biao eventually overwhelmed his hatred...

Of course, it is also possible that it is just because Liu Cong realized that if Liu Biao really died, he would not have a good ending?

Liu Cong rushed to the door and shouted: "General Wen! General Wen! Save my father quickly! Save my father quickly!"

Wen Pin was paying close attention to the riot at the first moment. After hearing Liu Cong’s call, he bowed and said, “Young Master! It’s okay in the city, don’t need us…”

『Bold!』 Liu Cong was furious, 『You want to arrive...』

Before Liu Cong finished his second half of the words, there was another noise outside the city! When Cao's army saw the fire in Xiangyang City, although he didn't know why, he still immediately reacted and started to line up and prepare for the attack!

Wen Pin glanced at Liu Cong, and did not continue to say anything more. He bowed slightly and immediately left and set off to set up defenses against Cao's army. This is Wen Pin's most important responsibility. If Wen Pin really obeys Liu Cong's blind command and takes the soldiers down to participate in the pacification of the city, then wouldn't Cao's army be rushing to take care of one and another when it comes to Cao's army?

Liu Cong curled up inside the doors and windows, his hands and feet trembling, muttering to himself, and his ears were filled with noises. He waved higher and higher, and he came in everywhere, making Liu Cong's head buzzing...

I don’t know how long it took, the riot gradually subsided and the surroundings became quiet. Liu Cong slowly put down his hand covering his ears, and looked like a groundhog, stretching his head out bit by bit.

As the light and shadow swayed, the smell of blood came to my face. Even though Liu Cong had lived on the city gate for a while, he still couldn't get used to it completely.

"Young Master, the thieves in the city have been pacified, so you don't need to worry."

Wen Pin said lightly to Liu Cong, and then commanded the fresh and hot heads that had just been cut off to hang on the battlements and show them to Cao Jun.

Wen Pin knew that Cao's army was dispatched more to cooperate with the city's actions. If he saw the head hanging out and the city returned to silence, he would basically retreat and would not fight without any brainstorms.

Sure enough, just as Wen Pin expected, when Xiahou Dun saw this, he knew that there was no advantage to take, so he called the gold to withdraw his troops...

Cai Mao, beside Xiahou Dun, stared at the head of the city, clenched his fists.

Xiahou Dun patted Cai Mao on the shoulder, "It's okay, Degui's plan won't work, I think his plan is... Liu Jingsheng, and he did have some tricks..."

Cai Mao had no choice but to go back to Cao Jun camp, tossing and turning overnight, unable to fall asleep. As soon as the sky was dawn, he got up, walked back to the formation, staring at the city wall from a distance.

The heads hanging on the top of the city were like peanuts pulled from the ground, and pinched long hair was tied to one place, either with eyes closed or mouth open, and their heads and heads were swaying in the wind, swaying and rotating...

Cai Mao stared at it, and suddenly his heart thumped, his eyes shaking immediately, trying to identify the heads in the distance. If he weren't afraid of the crossbow shooting on the top of the city, he might have wanted to get close to the city of Xiangyang...

『15,10…』

Cai Mao counted, then was worried, and counted again again, then stared at him, trying hard to correspond to the images in his mind from the blood and dust, his face, which were ashen or pale as he could see from the blood and dust. Then he stared at him for nearly a stick of incense, until his eyes couldn't help but be sour and burst into tears, and he rubbed his eyes and rushed to Xiahou Dun's central army tent.

"Degui..." Xiahou Dun was stunned when he saw Cai Mao's tears, and said, "Don't be so sad, it's common for military strategists to win and lose..."

"Hmm?" Cai Mao was also stunned for a moment, then he paused and sighed, pretending to be regretful, but the words he said revealed that he had no sadness at all. "General Xiahou! He carefully counted... the number is wrong, and the person is not right..."
