The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 142

Sun Ce retreated back to Junhe, which meant that Sun Ce could no longer pursue the pursuit. Kuai Liang's plan allowed Liu Pan and Huang Zu to withdraw from Changsha County safely with their fighting strength.

Even so, Liu Biao was still injured, and Liu Pan and Huang Zu parted ways in Shaxian.

Liu Pan and Kuai Liang took Liu Biao's orders back to Jiangling and stationed in Jiangling, defending Jiangling and stationed in Nanjun, while Huang Zu retreated to Jiangxia County with his Qu tribe.

Huang Zhong naturally followed Liu Pan, while Gan Ning belonged to Huang Zu's tribe and naturally wanted to return to Jiangxia with Huang Zu.

This battle made Gan Ning and Huang Zhong, two fierce generals who had served under Liu Biao's command in history, form a certain bond between the two who had never met.

Although Gan Ning yelled one old thing at a time, and Huang Zhong yelled one kid at a time, but Gan Ning, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, was in his heart.

For the first time, there is a character Huang Zhong who I completely admire from the bottom of my heart!Why not Sun Ce?

In Gan Ning's mind, Huang Zhong's martial arts skills were better than his own, and his archery skills were similar to his own. Gan Ning's fierce rivals were Tai Shici of Jiangdong and Lu Bu of Xuzhou. He believed that the real warriors were the ones with unparalleled martial arts and archery skills!
Although Sun Ce is very fierce alone, but Sun Ce can't shoot arrows!

Gan Ning originally traveled from Bashu all the way from the Yangtze River to the east. Originally, he wanted to take his brothers down the river to find Taishi Ci to learn from each other.

Gan Ning believed that the most powerful person in martial arts and archery in the world was Lu Bu. The second most powerful person was definitely Lu Bu. Of course, he would not know until he had a fight with Tai Shi Ci.

Knowing that Huang Zu blocked the Yangtze River waterway in Jiangxia to prevent him and his brothers from continuing eastward, Gan Ning and his "Jinfan Army" had no choice but to temporarily seek refuge with Huang Zu.

I never thought that this battle would meet Huang Zhong, a fierce man!

In Gan Ning's heart, only Huang Zhong in Jingzhou can enter the eyes of his uncle Gan Ning, second only to his good friend Su Fei.

Speaking of Su Fei, he didn't follow because he was going to be stationed in Jiang Xia, so it's strange to miss him.

We are about to separate from Huang Zhong. This old guy is even more skilled in martial arts than himself. What about archery? Last time my uncle shot one general to death, this old thing also shot one to death, so it was a tie.

As for Gan Ning, why don't you try your archery with Huang Zhong again?
Gan Ning competed with me and I already lost in a duel!
What if I lose my archery skills again, don’t I want to lose face?
Although Gan Ning thinks that my master's archery skills are unparalleled in the world, he just needs to be very strong!
Just like that, Huang Zhong and Gan Ning, who were in love with each other, also parted ways. As for the fact that they would become rivals next time they met, this was completely unexpected to them.

The news that Sun Ce was repulsed by Liu Pan also spread to Jiangling and Wuling. The old man Liu Biao breathed a sigh of relief. Liu Pan and Kuai's family were still reliable.

Hearing the news that Cai Mao's entire army had been wiped out, Liu Biao almost didn't catch up, and kicked his legs so hard that he burped!
It’s okay, okay, Liu Pan is a promising guy who was able to beat Sun Ce back, not bad, not bad, it seems that he has to pick up more burdens, if there is another mistake in the army of the East Road, the old man should not go to sleep, just go to sleep!

As for Cai Mao, this waste is too good-for-nothing. On the first day back to Jingzhou, he was thrown into limbo by the furious Liu Biao.

However, Cai Mao was in limbo, but Liu Biao didn't dare to go back to his room, and secretly slept in the study for a few days under the pretense of numerous government affairs.

One must know that Liu Biao's wife is Cai Mao's elder sister. Since Liu Cong was born, this woman is not as gentle and virtuous as she was when she first got married.

With the presence of Mrs. Cai, all Jingzhou people know that Cai Mao will not be able to stay in the cold palace for a few days. The reason why Liu Biao did this is to stop the mouths of Wenpin and Wang Wei.

When Wenpin and Wang Wei returned to Jiangling with the remnants of the army, they immediately went to Xiangyang to meet Liu Biao, and told the truth about Cai Mao's words and deeds when he retreated without a fight in the Battle of Wuling and abandoned his compatriots.

As for Cai Mao fleeing back to Xiangyang, he kept begging for mercy, but nothing happened.

It's not that Cai Mao doesn't want to, but Cai Mao can't!

What Cai Mao did was clear to his personal guards.

First, Cai Mao can't guarantee whether Liu Biao has placed spies in his personal guards!
That's right!It's a spy!
Nowadays, there are many conflicts among the high-level officials in Jingzhou. Liu Biao wants to take back the rights that belonged to him, such as military power and political power, but how can Cai and Kuai easily give up the rights they have already obtained?
It is necessary to test each other. Not only Liu Biao has spies in Kuai and Cai, but why didn't Kuai and Cai send spies to Liu Biao?

For example, Mrs. Cai, who is from the Cai family, is the Cai family's biggest spy. It can be said that Liu Biao's mansion has been completely infiltrated by the Cai family.

Everyone really thought that Liu Biao liked Liu Qi so much in the early stage, but after Liu Cong was born, he changed his mind and didn't like Liu Qi?
Although it is possible to like the younger son, but Liu Biao, who has been controlled by the Cai family, will really like this son so much and give up Liu Qi?Tiger poison doesn't eat eggs!
It's all because in this scene, under the combination of the Cai family and the Kuai family, the Cai family has another heir, and if he loves Liu Qi as always, it is not loving Liu Qi, but harming Liu Qi!
Liu Qi may not even survive to adulthood!

Liu Biao, who is so deep in the city, is using such a method to save his son!

Liu Biao knew clearly that if he died and the Cai and Kuai clans hadn't been eliminated, the succession of Jingzhou could only go to Liu Cong, not to Liu Qi, otherwise the day of passing the throne would be the day of Liu Qi's death.

This is also the fundamental reason why Liu Biao connived, Liu Qi approached Liu Bei, and asked Liu Qi to go to Jiangxia. Liu Biao was protecting his son!
It's a pity that Liu Qi in history died so inexplicably as a good and healthy young man in the second year after Liu Biao's death.

Are you talking about evidence that Kuai and Cai are posing as Liu Biao?The existence of Liu Pan is ironclad proof!

In the early stage, Liu Pan was the sole leader of the Liu Biao regime in Jingzhou, and Huang Zhong was Liu Pan's favorite general, but during Liu Bei's stay in Jingzhou, Liu Pan was completely idle.

It can be seen that Liu Pan 200 years ago, the truth buried by history, caused Liu Biao to lose even the last army that was completely loyal to him.

From 201 to 208 when Liu Bei entered Jingzhou, for 7 years, Liu Pan, the leader of the army, disappeared completely, and Huang Zhong, the fierce general, disappeared completely!

This is also the reason why Liu Biao wins over Liu Bei in every possible way, and it is also the fundamental reason why Cai Mao regards Liu Bei as a thorn in his side!

Second, Cai Mao wanted to prevent Wenpin and Wang Wei, both of whom were Liu Biao's confidants, and Cai Mao was not sure that they would die if he took the high road.

When the two return to Jingzhou, Liu Biao will definitely believe Wenpin and Wang Wei instead of Cai Mao. In this case, it is better to join forces with Kuai and his sister, who can actually reduce the impact of defeat!

This Cai Mao is really not good at fighting, and the infighting will be one set at a time!

However, with this defeat, Cai's military and political influence in Jingzhou must be greatly affected!

Especially when Kuai Liang was in the East Route Army and brought the entire East Route Army back safely.

Don't think that Kuai and Cai are allies, but they are also competitors. In the case of competing with Liu Biao for power, they are allies.

But under the rights they have won, Cai and Kuai are rivals again!

This relationship, in Lu Heng's words, is really messy, all the attention is on internal fighting, no wonder Liu Biao can only defend the city.

Under such circumstances, Liu Biao was able to defend Jingzhou for more than ten years, so Liu Biao, an old man, is really capable!

No, as soon as Liu Biao received the news that Liu Pan, Kuai Yue, and Huang Zu had defeated Sun Ce, the first thing he thought about was how to win this defeat and regain his own rights.
