This time the hunt was held in Xutian, east of Xuchang, and Xutian's radius of [-] miles was designated as a hunting ground.

On March 25, the mighty guards of the princes set off from the gate of Xuchang City and headed towards Xutian in the east.

Most of the hunting ground is flat, with only a hill in the north, and two rivers not far from the east and south, like a big natural pocket, with the mouth facing the west of Xuchang.

At the end of March, the spring color in Xuchang, located in the Central Plains, is already thick. The wilderness that can't be seen at a glance is like a huge carpet, and the prey that has been put in the hunting ground in advance is faintly visible in the field.

Xie Xi sat in front of Xie Kun's horse, holding his little bow and arrow, and shot a gray rabbit that was frightened by the convoy. His big eyes were bent into two crescent moons with joy, and he threw himself into his father's arms and smiled. stand up.

Liu Xie sat in his car.He is no longer the naive teenager who didn't know anything back then, now he has a faint youthful appearance, with the slightly protruding beard on his lips, the gradually obvious Adam's apple on his neck, and the slowly calm eyes, all of which can be seen in his eyes. signifies his growth.

Hearing a string of clear laughter like silver bells, Liu Xie raised his eyes and looked at the eunuch Xiao Shu beside him: "Where did the kid come from?"

"Your Majesty, it should be the beloved daughter of Princess Luoning and General Xie." In this spring search team, apart from this one, there is probably no other child.

Liu Xie was startled, yes, my aunt has her own daughter.Listening to this little girl's laughter, one can tell how carefree and unrestrained she is.That's right, with the protection of her aunt and General Xie, she will naturally not have any worries, nor will she be subject to any constraints.

It was already noon when the convoy arrived at Xu Tian.

Liu Xie's Tianzi camp is located in the center of the entire camp, with Habayashi troops stationed in the front, back, left, and right sides.

On the left side of the Tianzi camp is Cao Cao's camp, which stretches for several miles; on the right side is the camp of Chu Tianshu and his wife.

Brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu lived next to each other on the left side of Cao Cao, while Liu Biao and Liu Bei camped against Chu Tianshu on the other side.

Gongsun Zan was behind Chu Tianshu's camp, while Sun Ce and Sun Quan were stationed behind the Yuan brothers.

Chu Tianshu and the others only brought 500 people, and the other princes also brought less than [-] guards. Cao Cao himself had no more than [-] guards, but the Habayashi Army responsible for protecting the hunting grounds was nearly [-].

However, the princes have already issued orders, and the soldiers and horses stationed outside Xuchang City have followed to the hunting grounds. Although they have not entered the hunting grounds, they are enough to respond at critical moments, so that they will not be caught by Cao Cao.

After all the parties were settled, it was already getting dark.

After making an appointment to hold the hunting ceremony tomorrow morning, the princes of all parties returned to their tents, ordered their subordinates to pay attention to defense, and waited for the start of their respective plans.

The next day, just after the sun rose, a high platform was built. Soldiers stood upright on and off the platform, and flags of various colors fluttered in the wind.

Liu Xie, wearing a crown on his head and a dragon robe, walked up to the high platform step by step.

Cao Cao followed behind him, put his hand on the hilt of his sword, and also walked up to the high platform, standing beside Liu Xie.

The soldiers shouted long live, Liu Xie glanced at the faces of those people below one by one, with complicated emotions.It would be great if he was the only one on this high platform!

The princes in the audience sat down according to their positions, and Cao Cao stood up to speak.On behalf of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, he expressed condolences to the state shepherds who came from afar, encouraged them to be loyal to the Han Dynasty, and hoped that through this friendly and harmonious hunting activity, mutual friendship would be promoted.

Finally, Cao Cao announced on behalf of the little emperor that the person who harvested the most from hunting today will be personally rewarded by His Majesty.

Compared with the other princes who brought 500 guards, Chu Tianshu and his wife only brought 100 people, leaving [-] people to guard the camp, and [-] cavalry around them, which seemed to be a lot less than other princes.

Chu Tianshu has a white horse in a red robe, and Xie Kun has a black horse in a black robe, both of which are covered with soft armor.Even Xie Xi, who was sitting in front of Xie Kun, was wearing a light armor, which was specially made by the Shenjiang Mansion. It was highly defensive but light in weight, and it was specially customized for Xie Xi.

"Ling Ai is really like a bright moon and sea pearls, the clouds are shining brightly, and you feel light and spiritual when you look at it." A group of people came out from the nearby camp, passed by Chu Tianshu and his team, and was seen by the middle-aged men surrounded by them. The family of three couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

As soon as Chu Tianshu raised his head, he saw Liu Biao smiling at Xie Xi.

Liu Biao is tall and tall, with gentle eyes. He is an elegant, gentle and temperamental uncle.

In the eyes of later generations, Liu Biao was not a great hero during the Three Kingdoms period.But at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Biao's reputation was bigger and better than most of the princes.

He is also a clan member of the Han Dynasty. When he was young, he participated in the famous Taishen movement.He is as famous as Fan Pang and Zhang Jian, the famous scholars of the Eastern Han Dynasty.At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the influence of famous scholars was very great - when he was appointed as the governor of Jingzhou, he rode into Jingzhou alone, and the local scholars came to vote after hearing the news, without any resistance at all.

At that time, Jingzhou was well managed by Liu Biao, and it was regarded as a rare safe place in troubled times.Many celebrities and ordinary people chose to take refuge in Jingzhou. For example, Wang Can, the most famous of the Seven Sons of Jian'an, and Zhuge Liang, both chose to take refuge in Jingzhou.

Later, in the battle with Cao Cao, Jingzhou's force was too poor.But in fact, it's not that he doesn't have powerful generals. Gan Ning, Huang Zhong, and Wei Yan are all his subordinates, but they haven't been reused by him.Because they were born in poverty, Liu Biao was still limited by his family status, so he didn't like them very much.

Although Liu Biao had various shortcomings, he was regarded as one of the more loyal princes during the Three Kingdoms period full of intrigues.

And from a certain point of view, Chu Tianshu and Liu Biao are also considered distant relatives—Chu Tianshu nodded to Liu Biao as a salute, but Liu Biao actually urged the horses to approach them, and started talking to Xie Kun, mainly Xie Xi Come.

Xie Xi has never been afraid of strangers, and he is very face-controlled.Seeing Liu Biao's good looks and temperament, he gave Liu Biao a sweet smile without hesitation, and chatted with Liu Biao in a childish voice.

After walking forward for more than a mile, Liu Biao's team and Chu Tianshu's team were heading in different directions. The two sides were about to say goodbye. Liu Biao took a piece of jade from his body and gave it to Xie Xi as a gift.Xie Xi looked at his parents' faces, and accepted it only after getting approval, and thanked "Uncle Jing Sheng" obediently, making Liu Biao laugh from ear to ear, and turned around to wave to Xie Xi after walking all the way. .

The purpose of Chu Tianshu and his party was not hunting, nor did they want to compete for No.1.There are a lot of prey in the hunting ground, they just shot a random shot, and after hanging some immediately, it was considered nothing, and they started to wander around the hunting ground.

It looked like a family of three chasing and fighting. After a while, Xie Kun led Xie Xi to run in front, and Chu Tianshu chased behind.After a while, Chu Tianshu ran in front, and Xie Kun led people to chase after him.

Xie Xi giggled happily, and the whole family laughed and had a great time.Even if they were despised by Gongsun Zan who was passing by, it didn't affect their mood.

When it came time to count the results at night, it was indeed Gongsun Zan who won the first place.The white horse Yicong beside him are all skilled bow horses, and they can gain the upper hand in chasing horses and shooting in the border and nomadic tribes, which is still very powerful in recognition.

Gongsun Zan squinted at Chu Tianshu's position, and excitedly went forward to pick up the topaz ruyi Liu Xie rewarded, as if he had won some great face.

The hustle and bustle of the day gradually disappeared, and the night enveloped the entire hunting ground.

A scream in the middle of the night broke the apparent calm.The lights that had just dimmed were lit up one after another, and countless people ran towards the direction of the screams - that was Liu Biao's tent in Jingzhou, a lamp flickered in the tent, Liu Biao was lying on the table, and a long sword pierced his back from behind. chest.

General Wenpin, who was the first to rush into the camp, saw this, his eyes were tearing apart.When he just passed by, he saw the shadow of Liu Biao reading at his desk reflected in the tent. Why did he turn around and come back, and his lord died?

Wen Pin drew out his sword and put it on Liu Biao's guard captain's neck: "What were you doing just now!"

The captain of the guard has a pale face. He is Liu Biao's nephew, and he has no reason to kill Liu Biao: "I, I, I have a stomachache after eating, and I ran to Gong's house several times! I just came back..."

"What's the matter?" All the forces startled by the screams sent people to inquire, and there was no way to hide Liu Biao's death.

Hearing that Liu Biao was dead, almost everyone couldn't sleep.

Regardless of their plans for Jingzhou, when they heard that Liu Biao, a prince with both fame and strength, was assassinated, everyone felt sad and felt sad.

Thinking of Liu Biao who was still chatting with Xie Xi during the day, Chu Tianshu couldn't help sighing, and sent someone to ask if he needed help.

Instead, Liu Bei personally brought two sworn brothers there, and wept bitterly in front of Liu Biao's spirit, saying that these days in Xuchang, Liu Biao took care of him, and the two were on good terms with each other. Liu Biao also invited him to live in Jingzhou, but now Liu Biao was Assassination... Liu Bei cried so hard that he couldn't breathe, and it was Guan and Zhang who supported him so that he didn't fall to the ground.

Once Liu Biao died, only Wenpin and Han Song could make decisions in Jingzhou.

The two sealed off the camp and thoroughly investigated who came and went, trying to find the murderer.However, it was only found that the guards behind Liu Biao's tent were knocked out and the tent was partitioned off. The murderer probably got in through the gap to assassinate Liu Biao, and then slipped away before being discovered.

"Impossible!" Wenpin circled in the tent. The defense in this camp was arranged by him himself. It is absolutely impossible for anyone to come in and out without being noticed by any guards!

"The most important thing now is to protect the lord and return to Jingzhou!" Han Song said in a deep voice, "Don't be robbed by people with ulterior motives before us and take advantage of the chaos to seize Jingzhou!"

Liu Biao has three sons, the eldest son Liu Qi and the second son Liu Cong are now old enough to be in charge. Liu Biao has long been worrying about whether to pass Jingzhou to the eldest son or the second son.Now that Liu Biao died suddenly, if someone rushed to send the news back to Jingzhou before them, someone would support one of the two sons, maybe it would cause chaos in Jingzhou, and someone would take advantage of it!

Wen Pin was so angry that he slapped his hand on the table: "Should the murderer who killed the lord be allowed to go unpunished?" Looking for it now, maybe we can find clues.But once they were gone, they really let the murderer get away.

How can this make him willing!

He was ordered to protect the lord, but now the lord was killed, but he went back in a hurry, what face did he have to meet Jiang Dong's elders!
