Lu Yi looked at the note and smiled.
It turned out to be someone sent by his second brother-in-law Zhuge Liang.
It seemed that there was nothing wrong with letting him and Lu Shisan handle the outside this time.
Moreover, unexpectedly, a tunnel was opened from the outside to the General's Mansion.
It would be much easier to escape tonight.
only--
Lu Yi looked at the names mentioned in the letter——
Ma Zhong.
Appearing to be twelve or thirteen years old.
Could it be that Ma Zhong designed to capture Guan Yu?
Shaking his head, Lu Yi did not delve into this, but returned to the kitchen and threw the note into the fire.
Watching the note turn into ashes, a look of anticipation appeared on Lu Yi's face.
Previously, he had people give tips to Chen Deng, Taishi Ci and Zhu Zhi respectively.
By now, Chen Deng should have rushed to Changsha with his people, right?
I wonder if he can persuade Zhang Xian, the governor of Changsha?
After all, in the original history, Zhang Xian was loyal to the court, and for this reason, he always insisted on confronting Liu Biao.
It was not until Zhang Xian's death that Liu Biao launched a full-scale offensive and captured the three counties of Changsha, Guiyang and Lingling.
However, he was still willing to believe Chen Deng.
After all, Chen Deng's identity is also there.
Moreover, according to the original history, Zhang Xian, the prefect of Changsha, had a chief clerk named Hengjie, who was recommended by Sun Jian as Xiaolian, and later even went to the imperial court to become a minister.
Later, because his mother died, he resigned and went home to attend the funeral. On the way, he happened to encounter Sun Jian who was ambushed and killed by Huang Zu, and his body was sent to Liu Biao in Xiangyang.
At that time, no one among Sun Jian's civil servants and generals, including Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and even Sun Jian's younger brother Sun Jing, Sun Jian's brother-in-law Wu Jing, and nephew Sun Bi, dared to retrieve the body.
Hengjie met Cheng Pu and others. After learning about this, he went to Xiangyang alone to meet Liu Biao, and used his sharp tongue to get Sun Jian's body back.
Later, Sun Ce occupied Jiangdong as Sun Jian's eldest son, but Hengjie did not persuade Zhang Xian, the governor of Changsha, to defect to Jiangdong. He even made Zhang Xian rebel against Liu Biao, and instead persuaded Zhang Xian to defect to Cao Cao!
It shows that this Hengjie is not only brave and resourceful, but also very far-sighted.
With him here, Chen Deng is still very likely to succeed.
Once Zhang Xian of Changsha is successfully persuaded to defect to Jiangdong, then Jiangdong will not only have a high probability of winning in seizing Jingzhou, but also the losses will be smaller.
And Taishi Ci, who is based in Yuzhang, should be ready to cross the river and attack Jiangling with his army at any time, right?
Zhu Zhi should be uniting with Cheng Pu to attack Jiangxia, right?
Thinking of the turmoil in Jingzhou tonight, the internal war ignited, and Taishi Ci and Zhu Zhi took the opportunity to advance with two armies, Lu Yi felt a little hot in his heart.
As long as he can capture Xiangyang this time and build a defensive line of Xiangyang, Hefei, and Guangling, he will have no fear of enemies from the north.
By then, whether Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao or Yuan Shao defeated Cao Cao, he unified the north.
They want to go south, and Jiangdong is fully capable of resisting!
If we can capture Nanyang and other places, or even Wancheng Zhangxiu——
Lu Yi's eyes were filled with blazing flames.
This chaotic era of the late Han Dynasty may be coming to an end soon!
By then, the Three Kingdoms will no longer exist, and only the Lu family will exist.
Since ancient times, the land of China has mostly tried to unify the world from north to south. Only Zhu Yuanzhang accomplished the feat from south to north.
Now, if I can complete the great cause of unification——
Lu Yi let out a long breath.
That is really an exciting scene to think about!
While Lu Yi was cooking dinner for Liu Cong, Liu Qi had already rushed to the residence of Liu Pan, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and others.
None of them thought that Liu Qi would rush over.
Because during this period, something happened to Liu Biao, and they did not show their support for Liu Qi, who was the eldest son.
On the contrary, their attitude was obvious, that is, they would try their best to protect Liu Biao and try their best not to draw Jingzhou into the war.
During these years of war, there has been no fighting in the Xiangyang area of Jingzhou, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, which is too rare for them.
They really don't want to break this situation.
But now that Liu Qi had found his head, no one dared not to welcome him.
Liu Pan called Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Huo Du and Huo Jun over.
The five people looked at each other, and then Liu Pan spoke to Liu Qi: "Why are you here, eldest son?"
Liu Qi's eyes were red, he glanced at the five people, and choked up: "If I say that Mr. Cai wants to harm me at this time, it will be difficult for you to reply."
Liu Pan and the other five all lowered their heads.
They didn't care whether Liu Qi or Liu Cong took over Liu Biao's position as Jingzhou Shepherd.
They only care about Liu Biao.
They all came up with Liu Biao's hand.
For them, as long as Liu Biao is alive and Jingzhou is not in chaos, everything is easy.
Liu Qi continued: "So, I don't dare to ask for these anymore. I only have one request now, and I ask the five generals to agree. Otherwise -"
Liu Qi pulled out the sword from his waist, put it on his neck, and said with tears rolling down his face: "I will commit suicide on the spot! The five generals are all my father's ministers. You really can't bear to look at my father's son. Did he die miserably in front of you like this?"
Liu Pan sighed and said: "Eldest Young Master, put down your sword first. If you have any request, just ask, we will do our best to help after weighing it."
Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Huo Du and Huo Jun nodded.
Liu Qi sniffed and said: "In this situation, I continue to stay in Xiangyang, just waiting to die. But once I leave Xiangyang, Cai Mao and others will definitely not let me live. Therefore, I would like to ask five generals to escort me out of Xiangyang , go to Jingbei to find General Wenpin."
"If General Wenpin is willing to accept me, I will not return to Xiangyang from now on, but will retire in Jingbei."
Liu Pan, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Huo Du and Huo Jun looked at each other again.
Liu Pan patted his thigh and said, "Okay! If we just send you, the eldest son, to Jingbei, we can do it."
Looking at Huang Zhong, Liu Pan said: "Han Sheng, you take a hundred soldiers and escort the eldest son out of the city now to avoid a long night and many dreams."
Huang Zhong said: "Okay!"
Liu Pan looked at Wei Yan, Huo Du and Huo Jun and said: "You three, continue to stay in the city, continue to visit the general every day to prevent the general from being persecuted, and deal with Cai Hao and the others to try your best to rescue the general."
"I will continue to sit in the military camp outside the city, just in case."
Wei Yan, Huo Du and Huo Jun all responded.
Huo Du said to Wei Yan and Huo Jun, "I will stay outside the general's mansion tonight, and you two will send someone to replace me tomorrow."
After saying that, he quickly left and walked towards the general's mansion.
Liu Pan said goodbye to Wei Yan and Huo Jun, took Huang Zhong, Liu Qi, and two hundred soldiers living in the house, and rushed directly to the outside of the city.
The city defense army is composed of the tribes of the four powerful families.
When they saw Liu Pan and Huang Zhong leading two hundred soldiers, surrounding Liu Qi, they did not dare to stop them. Instead, they allowed them to leave the city while sending people to Cai Mansion to find Cai Mao urgently.
Liu Pan, Huang Zhong, Liu Qi and others left the city. Liu Pan said goodbye to Huang Zhong and Liu Qi, took away a hundred soldiers and rushed to the military camp outside the city.
Huang Zhong took the remaining 100 soldiers to escort Liu Qi towards Jingbei.
Cai Mansion.
Cai Mao is having dinner with his family.
A soldier rushed to the door and shouted: "Report, news came from the north gate of the city. Liu Pan and Huang Zhong, with two hundred soldiers, escorted the eldest son Liu Qi out of the city gate and headed towards the north of Jing."
Cai Hao: "."
Damn it!
Liu Pan and Huang Zhong.
During this period of time, I have repeatedly tolerated it, but they have taken advantage of it!
If he didn't want to cause war in Jingzhou, he would have killed them long ago!
But now, we have to take action.
If Liu Qi were to successfully leave Jingbei, Wenpin would definitely fall out with him!
Cai Mao suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "Inform Generals Cai He and Cai Zhong to take action immediately and leave no one alive!"
The soldier responded and ran out.
Cai Mao was ready to continue eating.
But after two bites, he finally lost his appetite.
Ignoring his frightened family members, Cai Hao walked directly into the bedroom and asked the maid to serve him and put on his armor.
Taking off the saber from the weapon rack, Cai Mao called the palace guards and rushed directly to the general's palace.
As soon as Liu Qi died, he forced Liu Biao, that bitch, to agree to make Liu Cong his heir apparent.
Otherwise, today next year will be his death anniversary!
Huang Zhong and Liu Qi were less than ten miles away from Xiangyang City when night fell.
Huang Zhong looked up at the bright moon above his head and said to Liu Qi: "My eldest son, the moon is bright enough to see the road clearly. In order to avoid a long night and many dreams, we will drive all night without rest. I wonder if your eldest son can hold on?"
Liu Qi was originally afraid of the possible pursuit by the four major families.
At this moment, when Huang Zhong suggested traveling at night, he was eager to do so and said hurriedly: "Okay."
Huang Zhong nodded and asked the soldiers to speed up.
But this time, before walking a mile, when passing by a small forest, countless black shadows suddenly came out from both sides!
