Crossing the Battle of the Three Kingdoms

Page 757

"Well, since the husband is not sure, let's do it this way."

After Liu Bei finished speaking, he closed his eyes and waited quietly for the enemy to attack. Zhuge Liang looked into his eyes, frowned slightly and remained silent.

Wei Yan's army was very fast, and when Chen Daogang occupied the street, he had already killed it. The two sides fought desperately, and one after another news reached Liu Bei's ears.

Liu Bei was not in a hurry, but waited quietly for the dawn, then got up unsteadily, and led Zhuge Liang to the battle place that was almost close to Liu's residence.

Looking at Li Jun who was desperately attacking, Liu Bei ordered coldly: "Bring Cai Mao up."

"Yes." The guard beside him took the order and left quickly, and after a while, Cai Mao, who was pale, arrived.

Liu Bei chose a high place and shouted loudly: "Wei Yan, come out and answer quickly, my uncle has prepared a good show for you!"

Hearing Liu Bei's shout, Wei Yanpai immediately stepped forward and shouted: "Liu Bei, you have nowhere to go, surrender, maybe you can save your life!"

"Hahaha!" Liu Bei laughed and said, "Cai Mao is in my hands. Li Huiyi's confidante Mrs. Cai must be in the army. If you don't want him to die, let the army stop attacking quickly."

Liu Bei guessed right, Mrs. Cai and Pang Tong did meet up halfway, and they were in the army at this time.

However, Cai Mao is not important to Wei Yan, on the contrary, it is still an obstacle. If Liu Cong and Li Huiyi recognize each other, to Li Shu, they will be a successor opponent.

And his uncle Cai Hao is more likely to become an assistant. Wei Yan wished that Liu Bei would kill him, so how could he be threatened.

"Hahaha! Liu Bei, you are just dreaming, kill as soon as you want, I will never stop attacking!"

Seeing that Wei Yan was indifferent, Liu Bei's face was gloomy. After thinking for a while, he sneered and said, "If that's the case, then my uncle will fight with you."

"Come here, chop Cai Mao in half first!"

In the face of death, everyone will be afraid, unless it is someone who has the will to die, Cai Mao is obviously not.

"Sister! Save me! Big Brother doesn't want to die yet..."

When Cai Mao's voice came, Mrs. Cai, who was still watching, glanced at Liu Cong, who was already about the same height as her, and showed a reluctant confession.

"Goudan, mother's only relative, only your uncle is left, so you must save him. After you go to the north, you must be obedient, and you must not listen to others' bewitching, and do unfaithful, unrighteous and unfilial things."

Hearing this, Liu Cong understood what it meant, his eyes were slightly red, and he asked weakly: "Master, you can't leave the child behind..."

Mrs. Cai touched Liu Cong's head, but did not answer. Instead, she looked at Pang Tong and said respectfully, "Sir, I will entrust my son to you. I don't want to be high and powerful. I just hope that you can protect him in his life."

Pang Tong nodded and said: "Madam, don't worry, Tong is from Jingzhou. He will definitely assist the young master and have a place in the north."

After getting a fairly satisfactory answer, Mrs. Cai didn't stop. The parting of life and death is the most uncomfortable thing, and she doesn't want to go through it.

Although Liu Bei ordered Cai Mao to be executed, his movements were slow, obviously waiting.

"Wait! Liu Bei, don't you just want to threaten Mrs. Ben, let my brother go, Mrs. Ben is willing to be your hostage!"

"Madam, absolutely not, the general has explained, you must not take risks."

"Hahaha! Good! Li Huiyi's woman is indeed courageous. Uncle Ben agrees. Come here."

Seeing that Mrs. Cai wanted to exchange herself for Cai Mao, Wei Yan was very anxious, and hurriedly tried to persuade him. Although he didn't care much about the life and death of Mrs. Cai's mother and child, Li Huiyi's order could not allow him to ignore it.

When Liu Bei heard that Mrs. Cai wanted to exchange, he was naturally overjoyed. After all, her role was higher than that of Cai Mao.

Mrs. Cai didn't answer Wei Yan, but walked forward on her own. For her, death might also be a good choice.

After so many years, Mrs. Cai is no longer the impulsive woman she was back then. She knows that she is no longer worthy of Li Huiyi's status.

She has been married to Liu Biao for more than ten years. Although she keeps her body like a jade, gossip can sometimes be a sharp weapon to kill without blood. Mrs. Cai doesn't want to end up ruining even her good memories.

Seeing that Mrs. Cai insisted on going her own way, Wei Yan waved and said, "Come on, leave Madam behind."

"Wow!" Hearing the order, the soldiers in front immediately stretched out their hands to block Madam Cai's way.

The way forward was blocked, Madam Cai said with a blank expression: "General Wei, if elder brother dies, Madam Cai will not live alone."

Mrs. Cai's words made Wei Yan fall into a dilemma. If he ignored it, Li Huiyi would definitely not be able to explain it, but if he satisfied Liu Bei, then Jingzhou would change again.

Not to mention anything else, Cao Cao's army is outside, if this battle does not succeed in occupying Nanyang, then it is impossible to create this kind of opportunity again.

After thinking for a while, Wei Yan still decided to obey Li Huiyi's order. "Liu Bei! Listen, if you let Cai Mao go, I would have let you go. This is the bottom line, otherwise, at worst, you will be punished and you will be wiped out in the city!"

Wei Yan was considered a step backward, but Liu Bei didn't like this choice either. "Hahaha, if Nanyang is given to you, where will my uncle be going? If this is your bottom line, then there is no need to say more."

A single Cai Mao put the two sides in a stalemate, and Liu Bei figured out the people's hearts and grasped the key lifelines, which can be described as the pinnacle.

If things don't change, I'm afraid it will only procrastinate. Liu Bei doesn't want to waste his time. Since Wei Yan doesn't agree to the conditions, he can only give him some color.

"Cut off Cai Mao's left hand and give it to Mrs. Cai and General Wei Yan."

Hearing Liu Bei's order, the guards immediately went to do it. Seeing this, Cai Mao shouted: "Sister, save me, Liu Bei, your actions will only make both sides... ah!"

Since Liu Bei was going to make a ruthless move to deter Wei Yan and others, he naturally didn't care about Cai Mao's threats.

Cai Mao, whose left hand was cut off, fell into a coma directly under the severe pain. Liu Bei ordered the military doctor to stop the bleeding to ensure that he would not lose too much blood and die.

Seeing Liu Bei's ruthless attack, Mrs. Cai showed anger on her face, and shouted at the soldiers blocking the way: "Get out of the way, whoever is in the way, die!"

Chapter 776 Exchange

Seeing Mrs. Cai getting angry, the soldiers blocking the way looked ugly, and they dared not make any further movements for a while, but they still didn't withdraw their outstretched hands.

Wei Yan said helplessly: "Ma'am, don't worry, I will agree to Liu Bei, but we still need to discuss the details."

Since Wei Yan agrees, Mrs. Cai is not capricious. In her eyes, it is enough to save Cai Mao's life, and she does not dare to ask too much for the rest.

"Okay, since the general agrees, then the woman will wait."

"Send the order, the army suspends the attack." Slowing down Madam Cai, Wei Yan gave the order helplessly, ready to negotiate with Liu Bei.

At this time Pang Tong came to Wei Yan's side and suggested: "General Wei, Liu Bei will definitely make unreasonable demands based on Cai Mao's excuse. Tong believes that Cai Mao should be released first before he can take the initiative."

"Oh." Although Wei Yan had never seen Pang Tong's talent, before he set off, he heard Li Huiyi mention it a lot. "Sir, I'm sure there's a way. Tell me quickly."

Pang Tong replied: "There is only one person who can break this game, and that is Zhuge Liang."

"Him?" Wei Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a while and said, "Will this person help?"

Pang Tong nodded confidently and said: "General, please rest assured, Zhuge Liang did not vote for Liu Bei sincerely, so he will definitely help me to achieve success."

"Okay, sir, tell me the plan." Wei Yan had no choice but to trust Pang Tong.

The two whispered in secret, and Wei Yan showed a hint of understanding on his face, and sent someone to inform Liu Bei, saying that he would negotiate directly to resolve the current deadlock.

Such a move was exactly what Liu Bei wanted, and he didn't want to agree immediately, and sent someone to invite Zhuge Liang, planning to ask him to help provide more favorable conditions.
