A residence in the east of Xiangyang City.
This is Liu Pan's residence.
Liu Pan was expelled from the Prefecture Mufu by Liu Biao and returned to his own house. When he thought of Liu Biao favoring Lu Xuan, endless anger arose in his heart, and he couldn't swallow the bad breath. He is Liu Biao's nephew, and Lu Xuan is an outsider.
However, Liu Biao was always wary of and suppressed his nephew. On the contrary, he was extremely generous to Lu Xuan, an outsider, and gave him food and armor. He was typically kind to outsiders but harsh to his own people.
If Liu Biao gave all of Lu Xuan's support to Liu Pan, after suppressing the bandits in Changsha, he could definitely continue to develop in Yangzhou, seize the territory of Yuzhang County in Yangzhou, and enhance Jingzhou's strength.
However, Liu Biao refused. He was worried that he would be out of control, so he simply left him alone.
Today, Liu Biao scolded him and dealt with him in front of all the guests. It is conceivable that after the news spreads throughout Jingzhou, people in Jingzhou official circles will think that Liu Biao does not like Liu Pan.
How else could he mess around?
How else could he do anything?
This meant that he had completely lost his chance.
Liu Pan resented Liu Biao's unfairness, but he had no choice because he still needed to rely on Liu Biao. Therefore, all Liu Pan's grievances fell on Lu Xuan. He believed that everything he suffered was caused by Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan poached his general Huang Zhong and stole his limelight, making him embarrassed at the banquet.
Lu Xuan deserves to die.
The more Liu Pan thought about it, the angrier he became, and the murderous intention towards Lu Xuan grew in his heart.
Once the thoughts come together, I can no longer control them.
Liu Pan heard about Cui Jun's situation, and even heard that after he left, Mi Heng prevented Liu Biao from recommending Lu Xuan as the shepherd of Yangzhou, and was targeted by all the famous scholars, which made him lose face. So Liu Pan arranged for someone to invite Cui Jun and Mi Heng to discuss how to deal with Lu Xuan.
After waiting for a long time, no one came. Liu Pan felt a little impatient, so he stood up and walked back and forth.
"Bang! Bang!"
A knock on the door came from outside the room, "Sir, someone is here."
Crunch!
The door was pushed open.
Cui Jun and Mi Heng entered hand in hand.
Cui Jun was wearing a large collared shirt and a large cloak. He looked elegant and in the style of a large family.
Mi Heng's face was pale, and his whole person showed a kind of decadent morbidity. He was different from Cui Jun. Cui Jun stopped outside the Zhou Mu Mansion and left directly. Mi Heng entered the Prefectural Shepherd's Mansion and suffered the biggest blow because he opposed Lu Xuan. He was extremely embarrassed.
Liu Pan showed a smile on his face and waved his hand: "Mr. Cui, Mr. You, please sit down."
Cui Jun and Mi Heng sat down. Cui Jun hadn't spoken yet. Mi Heng asked directly: "General Liu invited us here. What can I do?"
Liu Pan's eyes were sharp, with monstrous fire rising in his eyes, and he said: "I want to deal with Lu Xuan and take revenge. I wonder if you two are willing to join me in killing Lu Xuan?"
Cui Jun patiently thought about it and asked, "What benefits will I get from killing Lu Xuan?"
Liu Pan said: "Mr. Cui, please forgive me for being offended. You and Lu Xuan had a conflict. Mr. Cui is a joke when Lu Xuan is here. Pang De and Sima Hui both side with Lu Xuan and support Lu Xuan. People will recognize your words. All the scholars in Jingzhou will say that you, Cui Jun, are narrow-minded. It's because you look down on Lu Xuan and you hate Lu Xuan. The responsibility lies with you. As long as Lu Xuan is here, there will always be shame on you."
Cui Jun's face was a little gloomy. He had conflicts with Lu Xuan twice, and both times he was extremely embarrassed.
Because of Lu Xuan, he was completely embarrassed.
Liu Pan looked at Cui Jun's expression and said nothing more. Then he looked at Mi Heng and said, "Mr. Mi, what do you think?"
"I want Lu Xuan to die."
Mi Heng's eyes also lit up with fire.
The fire seemed to burn people completely.
Liu Pan nodded and said: "In this case, the three of us are all victims and were harmed by Lu Xuan. Therefore, the three of us must unite to kill Lu Xuan."
Having said this, Liu Pan asked again: "Are you willing?"
"I do!"
Mi Heng answered without thinking.
Cui Jun nodded and said loudly: "I am willing too."
A smile appeared on Liu Pan's angular face and he said: "Since the two gentlemen agree, it will be easy to handle."
"Liu Biao's birthday party has ended, and Lu Xuan will leave soon. However, we are not sure yet about the specific time Lu Xuan will leave, nor do we know Lu Xuan's route. So I invited two gentlemen to come and discuss what to do. Kill Lu Xuan."
"After all, you are talented people."
"Let me tell you about my situation. I can mobilize four hundred private soldiers. This is all the elite I can mobilize. With my four hundred private soldiers, once Lu Xuan is surrounded, it will be easy to kill Lu Xuan."
Liu Pan leaned forward and said, "It's just that I want a complete plan to ensure nothing goes wrong."
Cui Jun thought for a moment and asked, "How many soldiers does Lu Xuan have?"
Liu Pan replied: "The information I found out is that Lu Xuan is protected by more than a hundred personal guards. The people around Lu Xuan are all elites. Of course, the four hundred people under my command are also elites who have experienced hundreds of battles. As long as Lu Xuan is surrounded Xuan will definitely be able to kill Lu Xuan."
Cui Jun nodded and said: "In that case, all we need is an ambush. A very simple way is to arrange for people to keep an eye on Lu Xuan's whereabouts. When Lu Xuan leaves Xiangyang City and approaches the ferry to board the ship and go south, Directly rob and kill."
"no!"
Liu Pan answered without thinking.
Cui Jun asked: "Why not?"
Liu Pan answered: "It's a simple question. It's very close from the ferry to Xiangyang. Lu Xuan was ambushed by us. Even if my troops can defeat Lu Xuan and kill him, I need to pursue Lu Xuan. It also takes enough time.”
"The ferry is too close to Xiangyang City. Once Lu Xuan breaks out and runs towards Xiangyang City, Liu Biao will soon find out. Once Liu Biao sends people to rescue him, it will be difficult for me to kill Lu Xuan."
"If we want to take action, we must at least wait until Lu Xuan is far away from Xiangyang City and the territory of Xiangyang. In this way, even if Lu Xuan asks for help, no one will rush to help. Even if Lu Xuan escapes, I can keep covering up until Lu Xuan is completely killed. Xuan beheads and kills.”
Cui Jun nodded after hearing this.
He recognized Liu Pan's analysis.
Cui Jun thought about it again and said again: "Then change the strategy. We will not take action in Xiangyang, nor at the ferry. When the big ship Lu Xuan is on leaves the border of Xiangyang, we will lead people to rob and kill on the water."
"With a force of four hundred men, as long as the big ship approaches, and Lu Xuan is on the ship, there will be no way to escape from heaven or earth, and there is no way to escape."
"On land, Lu Xuan can escape."
"On the warship, as long as Lu Xuan is blocked, it will be easy to destroy Lu Xuan. At that time, all the people who killed Lu Xuan will be buried directly at the bottom of the river. Without anyone noticing, everything will be completely destroyed."
Cui Jun asked: "General Liu, what do you think?"
Liu Pan smiled and said: "I have also thought about this method, and it is indeed a good idea. However, there is a problem, that is, Lu Xuan takes a boat to go south. Once he hides his whereabouts for confidentiality, or changes boats midway, it will be easy for us to Lost Lu Xuan’s whereabouts.”
"The sentry can find out the information, but he still can't confirm all the information. I also need someone to find out the information for me to ensure that Lu Xuan's whereabouts will not disappear from our sight."
Cui Jun frowned and said: "There is no other way. We can only arrange for sentries to keep an eye on Lu Xuan as much as possible. From Xiangyang to Lujiang County, we can always seize the opportunity for such a long time. And going south In Lujiang County, Lu Xuan also has a chance to take action when he disembarks from the ship to replenish supplies."
Liu Pan said again: "It would be great if there is an informant who is willing to support Lu Xuan."
Cui Jun understood immediately.
Liu Pan had an idea and wanted him to be an internal response so that he could control Lu Xuan's situation at any time.
Cui Jun flicked his sleeves and said: "General Liu, there is no way I can go to Lu Xuan. I have a conflict with him. If I go to him, wouldn't it be a slap in my face?"
Liu Pan's eyes fell on Mi Heng again.
The look in his eyes was filled with expectation.
Mi Heng's eyes were stern and he said: "I am willing to act as an internal response. When Lu Xuan changes direction, I will arrange for my personal followers to spread the news to ensure that Lu Xuan can be killed without fail. However, you must arrange for the sentry to follow to ensure that my If you follow me personally, you can spread the news.”
Liu Pan said happily: "Mr. You are willing to go, it's the best. Please don't worry, I will arrange sentinels to follow. Mr. You suffered losses in front of Lu Xuan twice, and now he regrets it. Lu Xuan felt proud after seeing it. , I will definitely accept yours."
Mi Heng's eyes flashed with faint fire, and he said in a deep voice: "I don't care about personal honor or disgrace, nor do I care about personal face. I just want to kill Lu Xuan. Even if it means death, it is worth it. I hope General Liu will not let me down. I must Be foolproof.”
Liu Pan said firmly: "We are robbing and killing on the river. This is what I am good at. Lu Xuan will definitely not be able to escape this time. I may not even use your husband's information to kill Lu Xuan. You Sir, this is just a patch to make sure everything is safe."
Mi Heng stood up with a dull expression, cupped his hands and said, "I'm going to see Lu Xuan right now."
Liu Pan said: "Okay!"
Mi Heng bowed, ignored Cui Jun, and left.
Liu Pan looked at Cui Jun and asked, "Mr. Cui, after killing Lu Xuan, will Mr. Cui be willing to advise me?"
Cui Jun glanced at Liu Pan with some sarcasm in his heart. How could a warrior like Liu Pan have the confidence to recruit him?
It's really overestimating one's abilities.
Cui Jun smiled slightly and said: "I accept General Liu's kindness. We will talk about it when the time comes."
There was a hint of disappointment in Liu Pan's eyes, and the smile on his face was unnatural and a little stiff. He didn't break his face, and nodded: "That's all, I won't force you, sir. Kill Lu Xuan first, and then consider the follow-up."
Cui Jun smiled and said, "That's exactly what it should be."
Cui Jun stood up and said, "When the troops are dispatched, General Liu informed me that I will go back first."
Liu Pan said: "Mr. Cui, walk slowly."
As he looked at Cui Jun's leaving figure, his face instantly darkened, and there was even more fierceness and murderous intent.
