Chapter 566

"What? The Governor intends to take action?"

Cai Mao was shocked. He had always thought Liu Biao was critically ill and Liu Bei taking Jingzhou was a done deal. Who knew...

"Liu Biao, that old fellow, tricked me so miserably!"

Cai Mao immediately broke into a cold sweat.

"Lord Xuande, I truly didn't know."

Liu Bei patted his shoulder.

"Liu Biao's plot this time is very large, just wanting to use you, De Gui, to trick me over. He hid it from you, naturally also wanting to eliminate the Cai family together."

Cai Mao gritted his teeth.

"Old fellow! Lord Xuande, what should I do?"

"Liu Pan's troops are going to attack you. You just need to do this and that..."

Cai Mao nodded frequently. He had to fight for his life. Liu Biao wanted to eliminate Liu Bei, and he was naturally one of the targets. If it weren't for Liu Bei's reminder, perhaps the Cai family would have been uprooted by Liu Biao this time.

Thinking of this, Cai Mao's forehead broke into a sweat.

"Fortunately, Lord Xuande noticed..."

At the same time,

The brothers Xia Hou Dun and Xia Hou Yuan in Yexian had also raised their troops and were heading toward Xiangyang!

Cao Cao led a large army from Xuxian and followed closely behind!

Sun Ce's sixty thousand-strong army marched west from Chaisang and began to raid Huang Zu in Jiangxia!

Gao Shun, Ju Yi, Huang Zhong, Pang De, Gao Lan, and others led fifty thousand troops out of Wuguan and were also heading toward Xiangyang!

Zhuge Liang, with Wang Ping, Guo Huai, and Yan Xing, led forty thousand troops from Hanzhong, climbed mountains and crossed ridges, and arrived at the junction where the Han River flows into the Nanyang Basin.

Wang Ping asked,

"Prefect, are we heading to Xiangyang now?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head.

"No, our target is Xinye city. Cao Cao has already sent troops!"

"My lord ordered me to be the main general, to join forces with Gao Shun, Ju Yi, and others, and we must block Cao Cao on the Xinye line!"

Zhuge Liang took out bamboo slips for everyone to see.

Zhuge Liang cupped his hands toward the direction of Xiangyang.

"My lord trusts me greatly. This time, I will definitely defeat the Cao army."

Wei Yan in Badong had also set sail east and would arrive in Jiangling, Nanjun, in a few days.

Nearly three hundred thousand troops poured into the entire Jingzhou all at once!

Xiangyang city,

It was already late at night, and the post house was still brightly lit.

Liu Bei was still drinking and drinking with the gentry of Jingzhou.

Liu Qi hurried over, with a crying tone.

"Lord Xuande, my father has vomited a lot of blood and his breath is as thin as a thread. Please go and take a look quickly."

Liu Bei praised inwardly; Liu Qi's acting skills could at least be nominated for an Oscar!

"Good, I will go and take a look immediately!"

Other gentry exchanged glances.

"Could it be that the Governor will not make it tonight??"

Zhang Fei, Taishi Ci, Miss Zhu Rong, Lü Lingqi, and Ma Yunlu all mounted their horses and brought three hundred personal guards.

Liu Qi remembered the thousands of troops hidden around the Governor's mansion and didn't feel that these three hundred people could do anything.

"Da! Da! Da!"

The dense sound of horse hooves rang through the quiet road.

Liu Bei's group soon arrived outside the Governor's mansion.

The ambush point of Zhang Yun was all around the Governor's mansion, and the dark places were full of Zhang Yun's troops holding bows and crossbows.

Liu Qi was planning to enter the door quickly, but Liu Bei grabbed his arm.

"Virtuous nephew, don't be anxious. I will go in with you!"

Liu Qi was startled and turned to look at Liu Bei, finding his eyes cold and full of killing intent.

Liu Qi had never experienced any battles. Being looked at by Liu Bei, his legs went weak instantly.

"Lord Xuande..."

Liu Bei shouted loudly,

"Zhang Yun, stop hiding. You plotted against my Brother Jingsheng, and now you want to plot against me. Why hide your head and show your tail!"

Zhang Yun and Kuai Yue appeared together from the small city wall of the Governor's mansion.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

Nearly two thousand crossbowmen appeared on both sides of the street, holding bows and crossbows aimed at Liu Bei and the others!

Zhang Yun and the two knew that the matter had been exposed, but at this time Liu Bei was already on the long street, and there were their soldiers on both sides, almost victory was in their grasp.

Zhang Yun shouted,

"Liu Bei, what nonsense are you talking about? You plotted against my Jingzhou, and tonight is your death date!"

Kuai Yue also said,

"Liu Bei, you plotted against my Jingzhou and wanted to raid the Governor's mansion. Being killed by us tonight is also what you deserve!"

Liu Bei said coldly,

"Kuai Yue, I thought you were still quite smart, but you are as stupid as a pig. Pledging allegiance to Cao Cao and plotting against Jingzhou, aren't you afraid of being wiped out!"

Kuai Yue also pledged allegiance to Cao Cao in the original history and was moved to Xudu with his whole clan. The Kuai family left Nanjun, where they had deep roots, and declined rapidly.

It can be said that the Kuai family and Cai family of Jingzhou who pledged allegiance to Cao Cao, once they lost their utility value, all declined later!

Cai Mao was even more miserable, having his head cut off, and his two younger brothers also died 653!

Zhang Yun naturally knew about Kuai Yue pledging allegiance to Cao Cao, but now was not the time to kill Kuai Yue.

Kuai Yue was shocked in his heart when he heard Liu Bei mention being wiped out, but remembering Cao Cao's promise and high regard for him, he shouted,

"Liu Bei, you intend to kill my lord and still dare to sow discord!"

"Quick, shoot him!"

Zhang Yun cursed inwardly. These soldiers were all his subordinates; how could they listen to Kuai Yue?

"Brothers, listen to the order! Give me..."

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

Before Zhang Yun finished speaking, the sound of breaking through the air rang out, and countless arrows flew wildly!

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

"Ah, ah!"

Zhang Yun's personal guard crossbowmen fell in a row!

Zhang Yun was caught off guard and was also shot by an arrow!

"You!"

Only then did he know that he seemed to be very unpopular, and most of his subordinates had rebelled!

Several captains shouted,

"Everyone listen, Zhang Yun and Kuai Yue pledged allegiance to Cao Cao, harmed the Governor, and wanted to harm Lord Xuande. The Governor had already stated that after he passed away, Lord Xuande would take Jingzhou!"

"Protect Lord Xuande, kill the rebels Zhang Yun and Kuai Yue!"

Liu Bei also shouted loudly,

"Everyone, kill the rebels Zhang Yun and Kuai Yue, and I will reward you heavily!"

He shook his head inwardly.

"This ambush is a bit wasted."

Soldiers all worship the strong, not to mention Liu Bei, who shook the Nine Provinces and was invincible in fighting generals. Most of them rebelled instantly!

Zhang Yun covered his wound and shouted,
