"Brother, your character of worrying about gains and losses has not changed much after all these years. Hehe, if you are really afraid, you might as well cut off my head now and ask Liu Bei for credit."

"Hmph, what is your brother talking about? What kind of person am I? It's Zhang Yun's style to sell friends and seek glory. Don't worry, brother, regardless of victory or defeat in today's matter, I will guarantee your safety."

Zhang Yun's tone was mixed with anger, but his eyes were on Cai Mao, he always hoped that Cai Mao would say something, or draw him a cake, but Cai Mao is as calm as a pool of stagnant water now.

"Hehe, brother, after the matter is completed, I will personally ask the lord for your credit."

After a while, after Cai Mao said this, he stopped talking.Zhang Yun also felt a little more at ease. After all, the patriarch of such an aristocratic family like him lives for profit.

"Listen, brother, listen quickly, it's started, it's started outside..."

Indistinct shouts of killing, the clash of weapons, and the wailing of personnel fighting each other could be heard in the distance, all of which indicated that a tragic battle was taking place outside.

"Brother, you should do it."

"Okay, brother, just look at me, come on, work for me."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yun ran out and led the family soldiers who had been preparing for a long time to kill outside the house, while Cai Mao also led hundreds of cronies towards Liu Bei's house at this time.

Wang Wei, a veteran of the Jingzhou faction, led his army to take down the north and west gates of Xiangyang, and Zhang Yun led his army to break through the east gate from the city. The whole Xiangyang is now in chaos.

"Don't panic, the white-eared elite soldiers approach me to protect the young master and kill..."

In Liu Bei's mansion, Chen Dao brandished his spear and shouted angrily while summoning his subordinates. The sudden change didn't make this warrior panic. He knew that the most important thing for him now was to protect his lord's family.

"General, please stay. This is the backyard of the madam, and it is not accessible to you and others."

When Chen Dao led his people to Mrs. Cai's house, they were stopped by a group of people.A murderous look flashed in Chen Dao's eyes. After all, he was a fierce man who came out of the sea of ​​swords and blood, and he was about to brandish his weapons and kill him right away.

"I entrust my lord to protect my wife and young lord. If you want to stop it, it will be considered a rebellion. Don't blame my ruthless men."

After all, Chen Dao is an honest person, and he doesn't want to offend Mrs. Cai too much at this time. If he is told about the situation outside, he probably doesn't have the time to talk nonsense.

"General Chen is a loyal man. I advise you not to make unnecessary resistance. The two younger sisters are doing well with me. Chan'er also needs his mother to take care of him. I think you should keep Chan'er."

Mrs. Cai appeared in the back. After saying these few words, Chen Dao's expression changed. The ladies seemed to be inseparable. Fortunately, the young master is still in his hands. Right now, I'm afraid the only option is to break out and go out. .

Chapter 749

Chen Dao and hundreds of white-eared elite soldiers under his command hid here in the mountains dozens of miles south of Xiangyang City. The rebellion in Xiangyang City was initiated by those aristocratic families. The army soon surrendered.

Fortunately, Chen Dao reacted quickly, and at the critical moment he escaped with Liu Chan, an elite white-eared soldier by his side. Liu Bei had been wandering for half his life, but he left behind such a little flesh and blood. As Liu Bei's personal soldier, Chen Dao naturally knew what to do at this time .

"The rebel army is powerful, and the lord doesn't know what's going on in Xiangyang City right now. We need to get in touch with the lord as soon as possible and escort the young lord to the lord's camp. Otherwise, even if we die in battle, we will be ashamed of our kindness to the lord."

Looking at the white-eared elite soldiers trained by himself, Chen Dao must boost their morale. After all, there are thousands of rebels looking for them outside. If someone goes out to report the news at this time, everyone may not survive.

Fortunately, this white-eared elite soldier is the foundation left by Liu Bei for half his life, and his loyalty to Liu Bei is beyond doubt. In addition, Chen Dao is the commander-in-chief of the white-eared elite soldier, and no one is unconvinced.

In Zhangling, just after Liu Bei led the army to set up camp, he got the news from Xiangyang that the rebels attacked Xiangyang within a day, which completely cut off his retreat.

"Damn it, Kong Ming, didn't you say it was safe at the beginning? Didn't you Cai Mao's child die outside? Look, look at what this is. That guy Cai Mao came back and took my Xiangyang .”

Inside the big tent, Liu Bei was full of anger. Jingzhou was the foundation he managed to win, and Xiangyang was the most important thing. If he lost it like this, who should he talk to about his grievances.

Zhuge Liang next to him still maintained that calm expression, as if such a change of situation could not make him angry or angry, even though Liu Bei was already angry, he still looked harmless to humans and animals.

"Hehe, don't worry, my lord, Liang had already prepared. At the beginning, I guessed that some people in Xiangyang City would be restless, so I made arrangements in advance. Although this rebellion exceeded my expectations, it was not too bad."

It is indeed rare that Zhuge Liang can maintain this mentality and expression under any circumstances. You must know that Liu Bei's half-life cultivation effort is not as good as Zhuge Liang's mentality.

"Ah, this, the military commander, forgive me, I was rude."

Maybe it was infected by Zhuge Liang's emotions, or maybe it was because he realized that his behavior was a bit too much.Liu Bei hurriedly arranged his clothes and apologized to Zhuge Liang. It seemed that Liu Bei's style of correcting his mistakes after he knew his mistakes was not bad.

"My lord, please see that the influence of the rebel army is limited to Xiangyang, and other places such as Changsha and Wuling are still under the control of our army. Although the rebel army is powerful, they also have their own troubles to solve.

Right now, as long as our army sends elite troops to Changsha to prevent the rebels from going south, the southern part of Jingzhou will still be under our army's control. At that time, my lord can rectify the troops in Changsha and other places, and take Xiangyang again. "

Zhuge Liang pointed at the map and talked about it. From the looks of it, he did have some preparations, but these preparations still required Liu Bei to give up Xiangyang temporarily. In other words, what Zhuge Liang said was equivalent to not saying it.

Liu Bei is not a fool, how could he not know that it is time to go south to control the southern part of Jingzhou? Besides, in the counties in the southern part of Jingzhou, he has left behind trusted generals and soldiers, so there will definitely be no troubles in a short time.

"There is no time to wait. I am afraid that sending troops from here will not be able to keep up with the speed of the rebels. Come here, with my warrant, select a thousand elite soldiers to ride southward on fast horses. After meeting General Chen Dao, order him to immediately lead the army to Changsha to resist the rebels going south."

As expected of the hero left behind by the big waves washing the sand, Liu Bei quickly made some arrangements, and even used Chen Dao's defeated army.

Fortunately, there are still 1000 cavalry from Wenpin in the camp. Liu Bei can still recruit more than [-] horses from them. As long as he is fast enough, the rebellion may still be controlled.

But not long after, some subordinates came to Liu Bei to report the accident.

"Report, report, my lord, Wenpin led three thousand soldiers to defect from the camp."

An hour later, when Liu Bei was worrying about his next move, a soldier came over to report that it was Jingzhou Xiao general Wenpin who had defected.

If you really care about it, it's Liu Bei's fault.Wenpin is Liu Biao's diehard loyalist, and he is deeply favored by Liu Biao. Liu Bei didn't even try to appease or explain when the rumors spread.

At this critical moment, he directly ordered his soldiers to go to Wenpin's camp to recruit horses, and Liu Bei's soldiers were also used to being domineering. When they entered Wenpin's camp, they only asked for horses, but did not mention the reason.

Wenpin, who was already suspicious, panicked now. This was obviously a prelude to Liu Bei's plan to confiscate his military power and even murder his life.Since Liu Bei is not benevolent, then Wenpin is also unrighteous. Besides, Wenpin also has to consider the three thousand brothers under his command.

In a hurry, Wenpin led 2000 cavalrymen under his command, snatched more than 20 horses, and then escaped from the camp. By the time Liu Bei knew the details, Wenpin had already ran south for more than [-] miles.

"Waste, waste, I asked you to go to General Wen's camp to recruit war horses, but you turned him back to me. What do I need you for? Come on, drag it down and chop it up."

Liu Bei doesn't know how domineering his own soldiers are usually, and everyone in the barracks usually dislikes them. This time it must be that the captain's attitude is too bad, and finally forced the vacillating Wenpin away.

"My lord, Wenpin fled to the south. He must want to return to Xiangyang. My lord can immediately send someone to say that Wenpin is the vanguard sent by my lord to recover Xiangyang. If this happens, it will definitely lead to the rebellion between the rebel army and the Wenpin department." In the scuffle, our army can also take this opportunity to capture Xiangyang."

As far as Zhuge Liang's brain is concerned, it is so fast that he can take advantage of Wenpin's defection.The rebels who just captured Xiangyang must be very upset. If they hear this rumor at that time, they will not be able to fight Wenpin in a life-and-death battle.

Liu Bei nodded, and then sent another person to lead a thousand elite horsemen to go south to look for Chen Dao. He definitely wanted to take back Xiangyang, but keeping Changsha and the southern defense line was also the top priority.

"Meng Qi, five thousand cavalrymen and I ordered you to go south immediately to hunt down Liu Bei. Do you dare to accept the order?"

"At the end of the day, I would like to thank the lord for the grace of reinvention."

In Xinye, in Chen Feng's camp, he had just received news from Xiangyang. Jia Xu immediately suggested that he send elite troops south to harass Liu Bei's army. Chen Feng hurriedly summoned Ma Chao. Infinite fighting spirit comes.

Chapter 750 Unstoppable Power 1

The news that Xiangyang was occupied by the rebels quickly spread throughout Jingxiang, and even Jiangdong got the news. Now, the whole south is boiling.

The governor of Jiangdong has been ill in bed for many years. After hearing the news, he immediately wrote a letter to Sun Quan, saying that this is the best time to go north to Jingxiang and seize Xiangyang.

Many officers and soldiers in the Jiangdong Army also saw this opportunity. Gan Ning, who was named a school lieutenant by Sun Quan two years ago and then left out in the cold, even sent his subordinates to Jiangxia and Xiangyang to inquire about news.

Then he spent several days and nights writing a plan, which included the plan to attack Jiangxia, attack Changsha, and go north to Xiangyang. Sketch map.
