Liu Qi was stunned on the spot.
He never expected that this bastard Wei Yan would rebel and surrender to the enemy and lead Cao's army into Xiangyang City!
When he came to his senses, he was still panicking.
"What...what should we do? By the way, you...have you gone to see Uncle Liu Huang?"
"I have already sent someone to inform Uncle Liu Huang."
Huo Jun nodded.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was another sound of footsteps.
Except for Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang and others, other civil servants and generals in Jingzhou also walked into the hall in a hurry after receiving the news.
"Uncle, you are finally here!"
Liu Qi, as if seeing a savior, rushed forward and told them the whole story.
"Hey, I told you that Wei Yan has a traitor in his head and cannot be trusted. If my lord and Zhou Mu killed him today, how could such a change happen?"
Zhuge Liang couldn't help but sigh.
Why didn't you say that you betrayed Wei Yan because you targeted him and made him feel unhappy?
Liu Qi was slandering in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on the outside.
"The most urgent thing is to find a way."
Liu Bei coughed slightly and changed the subject.
"The night is deep, Cao's army is approaching fiercely, and I don't know how many people there are. We are completely passive."
Zhuge Liang said in a deep voice,
"According to my subordinates, it is better to withdraw from Xiangyang as soon as possible."
"ah?!"
Liu Qi was dumbfounded.
He has only taken control of Xiangyang City for less than a day, and he is about to give Xiangyang away?
"If you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood!"
Liu Bei persuaded him with good words,
"Zhou Mu must not forget what happened to Yuan Gongli back then!"
At that time, Yuan Shu also planned to defend Shouchun and fight to the death with Yang Ling.
As a result, after the city was breached, he had no way of escape and finally chose to burn himself to death!
Thinking of Yuan Shu's fate, Liu Qi shuddered and could only nod,
"My nephew obeys his uncle in everything."
"That's good!"
Liu Bei smiled happily, turned around and ordered,
"You should lead your troops and families immediately and retreat out of the city!"
"Here!"
Everyone suddenly accepted the order and dispersed.
At this moment, Liu Qi suddenly seemed to remember something and asked quickly,
"Uncle, then my stepmother and brother..."
"Take them away together!"
Liu Bei said in a deep voice.
The identities of Cai Yu and Liu Cong are there. Once they fall into the hands of Yang Ling, Liu Qi, the leader of Jingzhou, will be unjust and unjust!
"good!"
Liu Qi nodded, called a group of soldiers, and went straight to the backyard.
Ever since Liu Qi and Liu Bei captured Xiangyang City, Cai Yu, Liu Cong, Cai Mao and others have been placed under house arrest in the backyard of the Prefectural Mufu.
When they heard the shouts of killing coming from outside, they looked a little surprised.
At this moment, Liu Qi kicked open the courtyard door, pointed at Cai Yu and said to Liu Cong,
"Take them both away!"
"I am Mrs. Zhou Mu, let me go!"
Cai Yu scolded in a delicate voice.
But the two strong women brought by Liu Qi couldn't care less, so they grabbed her and took her out forcibly.
Liu Cong, who was still young, did not dare to resist and walked outside obediently.
Liu Qi glanced at Cai Hao, Zhang Yun and others, and said coldly,
"Lock the door and don't let them go out!"
To him, people like Cai Hao, Zhang Yun, and the Kuai brothers were like hot potatoes.
Taking them away will only cause more trouble.
But Liu Qi was a little reluctant to kill them.
After all, both parties are in-laws whose bones are broken and their tendons are connected. If they are really killed, Liu Qi will no longer be able to become a Jingzhou shepherd in the future.
So after much deliberation, Liu Qi only planned to take his stepmother and younger brother away.
Liu Qi and his party came out of the backyard. The front hall was empty. Liu Bei and others had already left.
Seeing this situation, Liu Qi did not dare to neglect and immediately left the mansion and ran out of the city.
However, as soon as he went out, he ran into Wei Yan, Gan Ning, Ma Chao and others.
"Little Liu Qi, where can you escape?!"
Wei Yan laughed ferociously, swung his sword and rushed forward.
"State Shepherd, be careful!"
The guards on the left and right immediately stepped forward to greet him.
However, their martial arts skills were far from those of Wei Yan. After only two rounds of fighting, they were killed on the spot!
Liu Qi was startled and watched Wei Yan and the others walking towards him step by step.
He gritted his teeth, pulled out the long sword from his waist, placed it on Cai Yu's neck as white as jade, and shouted crazily,
"Don't come over here. If you come over again, I will kill him!"
Gan Ning was well aware of the relationship between Yang Ling and Cai Yu, so he was shocked when he saw this scene.
"General Wenchang, stop!"
Wei Yan was startled, but he still retreated honestly.
"Young Master, as long as you let go of Mrs. Cai, we can talk about anything."
Gan Ning spoke in a rare soft voice.
"I won't talk to you, go and call Yang Ling over! Otherwise I will kill this bitch!"
Liu Qi said viciously.
"Okay, I'll ask the general to come over right now!"
Gan Ning winked at Wei Yan and Ma Chao, signaling them to get the situation under control while he quickly left.
…
outside the city.
"General, Liu Bei and his men have just escaped from the south of the city."
A soldier came to report.
Yang Ling suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.
Not even half an hour after he entered Xiangyang City, Liu Bei ran away?
Is he really Liu Paopao!
Whatever.
As soon as he ran away, Xiangyang City was completely captured.
"Let's enter the city first."
Yang Ling nodded to Zhao Yun, Gao Rou and others, and then walked towards the city.
As soon as they entered the city, they saw Gan Ning galloping towards them on horseback.
"General, it's not good!"
After seeing Yang Ling, Gan Ning immediately got off his horse and told Yang Ling what happened in front of the Zhou Mu Mansion.
Yang Ling frowned slightly and said in a deep voice,
"Let's go and have a look with me!"
After a while, they arrived at the Prefecture Mufu.
At this time, the entrance was surrounded by Cao Jun's soldiers on three levels inside and three outside.
In the center are Liu Qi, Cai Yu, Liu Cong and others.
Seeing Yang Ling's arrival, people made way for them and saluted in unison.
"I've seen the general!"
Yang Ling ignored Liu Qi, who was in a panic and sweating profusely, but looked at Cai Yu in front of him.
After not seeing each other for several years, Cai Yu did not appear to be aging. Instead, she became more charming and mature, showing off her mature charm.
The two looked at each other and could see the affection in each other's eyes!
"General, I'm here. I wonder what the eldest son wants to talk about?"
Yang Ling said calmly.
"Tie Yang, you came just in time!"
Liu Qi's eyes were red and he stared at Yang Ling and said,
"If you want this bitch to survive, take your army and withdraw from Xiangyang immediately!"
"Otherwise, I will let her die in front of you on the spot!"
Yang Ling cast a reassuring look at Cai Yu, and then sneered,
"My eldest son, I, Yang, am a sentimental person, but do you think I would give up the city I finally won for Mrs. Cai?"
"Then you just want her to die!"
Liu Qi's face became extremely ferocious, and the sword blade in his hand was already at Cai Yu's throat!
