The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 49 Cai Mao wants to kill Liu Bei
Therefore, Cai Mao said viciously: "Why don't I go to the building tonight and kill Liu Bei, and then tell the lord. When Liu Bei is dead, if you plead for me again, the lord will not kill me, right?"

Mrs. Cai agreed with Cai Mao's idea, and Cai Mao left the state pastoral mansion, mobilized troops overnight, and wanted to kill Liu Bei at night.

After Liu Bei returned to the building, he looked at the burning candles and sat there full of thoughts.At this time, Liu Bei was already in his 40s, and he was considered older in that era, and since he suppressed the Yellow Turban Uprising at the age of 24, he had fought in the South and North for so many years, but in the end he got so miserable.

The princes who suppressed the Yellow Turban and crusade against Dong Zhuo were also dead, old and old. Look at Cao Cao, who is about to completely defeat the Yuan family and become the strongest prince in the world. What should we do in the future?
After the third watch, Liu Bei was about to go to bed when suddenly a person knocked on the door and entered. Liu Bei saw that it was Yi Ji.

Yiji, courtesy name Jibo, is from the same town as Liu Biao, and he attached himself to Liu Biao when he was young. At this time, he was Liu Biao's assistant, in fact, he was a staff officer.Since Liu Bei came to Jingzhou, Yiji admired Liu Bei's character and reputation of benevolence and righteousness, and visited him often.

It turned out that Yiji found out that Cai Mao was going to lead troops to kill Liu Bei, so he rushed to report the news overnight.Yi Ji told Liu Bei what he had heard about Cai Mao's conspiracy, and urged Liu Bei to escape quickly.

Liu Bei said, "I haven't said goodbye to Brother Jing Sheng yet, so it's not good to leave like this?"

Yi Ji said anxiously: "What time is it? If you go to Master Zhou Mu to say goodbye, you will definitely be murdered by Cai Mao, so run away!"

Liu Bei quickly gathered his entourage, thanked Yiji and left Yiji, and ran back to Xinye overnight.

When Cai Mao led his troops to the building, Liu Bei had already run far away, and he could not catch up with him.Cai Mao was very annoyed, who the hell leaked the wind and spoiled my good deeds, and if I found out, I would definitely tear you to pieces.

Cai Hao had another plan. He wrote a poem on the wall of Liu Bei's room, and then ran to Liu Biao and said, "Brother-in-law, Liu Bei really wanted to rebel. He wrote an anti-poem on the wall and left without saying goodbye." gone."

Liu Biao didn't believe it, so he went to the building to inspect it himself. There were indeed four lines of poems on the wall: "Several years of siege, empty to the old mountains and rivers. The dragon is not the thing in the pond, and the thunder wants to go to the sky."

The cousin was furious after seeing it, drew his sword and said, "I will kill this unrighteous person!"

After Liu Biao took a few steps outside holding the sword, he suddenly came to his senses and thought to himself: I have been with Xuande for so long, and we have drank so many times together, I have never seen him write poetry before!This must be someone trying to make a difference, wanting me to kill Liu Bei.

As for who used the divorce scheme and who wanted Liu Bei to die, Liu Biao can also guess, but on the one hand, he has no evidence, and on the other hand, he doesn't want to make this matter big, and it's hard to deal with it. After all, it's all his own. close people.

So Liu Biao went back to the room, cut off the verses written on the wall with the tip of his sword, abandoned the sword and mounted his horse, ready to go back.

At this time, Cai Mao came over to salute and said, "Lord Zhou Mu, the sergeants are ready, so let's go to Xinye to capture Liu Bei."

Liu Biao said: "Don't be impulsive. Just take it easy in advance and I'll think about it again."

Without Liu Biao's consent, Cai Mao would not dare to lead troops to kill Liu Bei openly. In the end, Liu Biao was the master of Jingzhou. Although Cai Mao was in charge of Jingzhou's military power, Liu Biao's prestige in Jingzhou could relieve him of his post and military power in minutes.

Moreover, Liu Bei has already fled back to Xinye. Although there are not many soldiers under his command, he is protected by three fierce generals, and he cannot deal with it alone.

So Cai Mao went to his sister Mrs. Cai to discuss.

Cai Hao said: "Then Liu Bei has fled back to Xinye. He is protected by generals and soldiers. It is not easy to kill him. We have to call him to Xiangyang to do it."

Mrs. Cai thought for a while and said, "Then find an excuse and ask your brother-in-law to summon him to Xiangyang, and get rid of Liu Bei before your brother-in-law knows."

The next day, Cai Mao reported to Liu Biao: "In recent years, the weather in Jingzhou has been good and the grain harvest has been bumper. My lord should call officials from all over the country to Xiangyang to express my intention of comfort and reward. My lord, please order and preside over the meeting."

Liu Biao said, "Recently, I've relapsed into an old problem, and it's inconvenient to move, so let Qi'er and Cong'er host it for me."

Cai Mao said again: "The two sons are young, I'm afraid they will lose their etiquette."

Liu Biao coughed twice and said, "Then send someone to Xinye to ask Xuande to entertain everyone on my behalf."

As soon as Cai Mao heard it, it was exactly what he wanted, so he sent people to Xinye to invite Xuande to come to Xiangyang, and at the same time sent people to notify the chief officials from all over the country to hold a meeting in Xiangyang.

But he said that since Liu Bei fled back to Xinye overnight, he also knew that it was because of his cheap talk, so he was embarrassed to tell others.

On this day, an envoy suddenly came to Xinye and invited Liu Bei to Xiangyang to attend the meeting.

Sun Qian said: "I saw the lord hurried back the night before, and he still looked unhappy. I guess the lord must have encountered some accident in Jingzhou. Today, someone suddenly invited the lord to Xiangyang for a meeting. I don't think you can go casually." , it's better not to go."

Only then did Liu Bei tell everyone what happened earlier.

Guan Yu said: "Brother, I just suspect that I said something wrong. Liu Jingzhou has no intention of blaming it. Outsiders' words should not be trusted. Xiangyang is not far from here. If you don't go, I'm afraid Liu Jingzhou will become suspicious."

Liu Bei said, "What Yun Chang said makes sense."

Zhang Fei shouted: "There is no good banquet, and there is no good meeting. I think it is better not to go."

At this time, Zhao Yun said: "I will bring three hundred soldiers and guards to go with the Lord, so that the Lord will be safe and sound."

Seeing Zhao Yun's protection, Liu Bei felt that it should be fine, so he settled down.

Liu Qi and Zhang Wu in Jiangxia also received the notice to go to Xiangyang for a meeting. After contacting the information sent by his spies in Xiangyang, Zhang Wu immediately thought that it was Cai Mao who was going to attack Liu Bei.

The same is true in the original book. Cai Hao first failed to kill Liu Bei at night, so he summoned Liu Bei to Xiangyang, intending to jump over the tower and kill him by force.The plan was good, but in an emergency, Liu Bei flew across the Tan River and ran away!
Now that flying Luma is still with Zhang Wu, can Luma be able to escape without Liu Bei?

No, Liu Bei can't die, Zhang Wu began to think.

Although after Liu Bei's death, the civil and military talents under him were without masters, and Zhang Wu had a slight possibility to recruit them, but Zhang Wu felt that the chance of success was too small.

Liu Bei has not yet given birth to a son. If he dies, those under him will definitely disband.Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun may think of ways to avenge Liu Bei, but they have no soldiers, and they will definitely not be able to defeat Liu Biao.In the end, the most likely result is that Guan Yu turned to Cao Cao in order to avenge his elder brother.

Even if Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun didn't go to Cao Cao, they would definitely find another way to get revenge. Anyway, they would never die with Jingzhou.And Zhang Wu's next plan is to occupy Jingzhou. Of course, it is impossible to rebel against Liu Biao to avenge Liu Bei, because Liu Biao is still very prestigious in the hearts of Jingzhou people. Zhang Wu must rely on the reputation of Liu Biao and his son to control Jingzhou.
