"Haha, Yidu, do you think Liu Bei will die from anger if he finds out that we are impersonating him?" one of the generals asked the scholar beside him.
"Haha, Liu Bei can't die like this. If Liu Bei dies from anger, who will take the blame for us?" the scholar joked.
These two people were Kuai Yue and Cai Mao, who had been forced to rendezvous with Jia Xu by Liu Bei's Army.
Back then, Pang Shiyuan had wholeheartedly blocked Cai Mao and Kuai Yue from returning. Now, the two of them had no intention of leaving.
They started attacking the city under Liu Bei's banner.
They didn't even need to dress up deliberately. Their soldiers and horses were originally from Jingzhou. Therefore, even if they were captured, no one would be able to tell that they were from Jingzhou. The soldiers of Yizhou gnashed their teeth in hatred when they heard Jingzhou's words.
Who was leading the Jingzhou Army in Yi Province? Who else could it be other than Liu Bei?
That wasn't all. Cai Mao and Kuai Yue's soldiers didn't even need to change their clothes. After all, they were wearing the same clothes as Cai Mao and Kuai Yue.
It was impossible for Liu Bei to die from anger, but it was possible that he would vomit blood from anger.
"Attack the city! Attack the city!" Under the command of Cai Mao and Kuai Yue, countless soldiers attacked the city in Jiangzhou Prefecture.
Along the way, it was like a hot knife cutting through butter. Other than Jiangzhou County City, the other cities were all declared to have been conquered in a few hours to a day.
In Chengdu Prefecture, Liu Zhang hated Liu Bei to the bone. You are a shameless hypocrite. On the surface, you sent an envoy to form an alliance with me, but you secretly sent troops to attack my city.
You are simply going too far. As for Jian Yong's explanation, it was useless. Liu Zhang thought maliciously.
If it weren't for the speed of your troops attacking the city, not only would Yi Province have been conquered by Liu Bei, but my provisions would also have been taken away by you.
Jian Yong wanted to explain, but Liu Zhang covered his ears. I won't listen, I won't listen.
Liu Zhang became even angrier when he received the battle report from the frontlines.
"Men, drag Jian Yong and Zhang Lu out and behead them!" Liu Zhang was really angry this time.
"My Lord, I'm innocent! It's Jian Yong! Jian Yong forced me to do this! " Zhang Lu was scared out of his wits. He immediately betrayed Jian Yong and begged for forgiveness in front of Liu Zhang.
"What are you doing? Drag them out!"
Just when Liu Zhang was about to drag the two people out and behead them, Fa Zheng suddenly spoke, "My Lord, wait!"
"En?" Liu Zhang turned his head and looked at Fa Zheng coldly. "Fa Zheng, what do you have to say?"
Fa Zheng saw Liu Zhang's expression and knew that Liu Zhang was extremely angry. However, Fa Zheng still braced himself and said, "My Lord, although this Liu Bei is shameless, we don't kill the envoys when two armies fight!"
"Yes, yes, we don't kill the envoys when two armies fight!" On the other side, Zhang Lu nodded. He had completely let go of the past and felt grateful towards Fa Zheng.
"En?" Liu Zhang frowned. It was an unspoken rule to not kill the envoys when two armies fight. However, it didn't have to be followed. Whether it was Cao Cao, Liu Bei, or Liu Mang, they had killed a lot of envoys.
"My Lord, if you simply kill Jian Yong, wouldn't you be letting Liu Bei off too easily?" Fa Zheng's words came after.
"En?" Liu Zhang's eyes lit up. If he were to kill Jian Yong now, he would be able to vent his anger. However, it would not cause any substantial harm to Liu Bei.
Even if he sent Jian Yong's head back, Liu Bei could still behead Liu Zhang's envoys.
"Fa Zheng, what do you mean?"
"He's a strategist. Since his mouth is full of lies, let's make him unable to speak!" Fa Zheng was blocking Liu Zhang's path of retreat by killing Jian Yong. According to Liu Bei's character, Jian Yong was only one person. He could even abandon Sun Qian for benefits. What was Jian Yong to him?
Killing Jian Yong would at most make Liu Bei cry for a while. However, Fa Zheng wanted Liu Bei to cry for a lifetime. If he let the disabled Jian Yong go, Liu Bei would definitely not kill Jian Yong. Then, he could only watch Jian Yong. Jian Yong would become a living example. Liu Zhang and Liu Bei had broken off. Even if Liu Bei wanted to please Liu Zhang, Jian Yong would have to agree first.
"Mr. Fa Zheng, when have I offended you?" Jian Yong stared at Fa Zheng.
Fa Zheng didn't answer. Instead, he continued to speak to Liu Zhang, "My Lord, this matter should not be delayed!"
"Alright!" Liu Zhang also made up his mind. Since Liu Bei didn't want to give face, he would directly slap him in the face. "Men, drag Jian Yong away and cut off his tongue!"
"Yes!" A few Yizhou generals stepped forward and dragged Jian Yong away.
Jian Yong didn't struggle. He just stared at Fa Zheng, as if he wanted to engrave Fa Zheng in his heart.
"My Lord, this Jian Yong is blind. How dare he deceive you. I think you should also discard his eyes!" Fa Zheng said as he was about to remove Jian Yong's eyes.
"Do as you wish!" Liu Zhang wanted to be comfortable. He didn't care what Fa Zheng did.
Soon, Jian Yong was dragged away.
A muffled sound could be heard from outside the hall. When Jian Yong was dragged out again, his two bright eyes had become two empty holes. His mouth was also gagged. This was to stop Jian Yong's bleeding and prevent him from dying from excessive blood loss.
"My Lord, the execution is over!" The guard also placed the two eyeballs and a section of the tongue in a box.
"Get out, get out!" Liu Zhang waved his hand. He didn't want to take another look.
On the other side, Zhang Lu was so scared that he fell to the ground. His legs seemed to be cramping, and he trembled for a long time. Suddenly, yellow liquid flowed out from his crotch. It turned out that our Lord Zhang Lu was so scared that he peed.
"Wu wu wu wu!" Jian Yong could no longer speak. He could no longer see. However, he seemed to remember something. His head turned in a direction. This direction was where Fa Zheng was standing.
"My Lord, please spare my life. Please spare my life!" Zhang Lu was finally scared. "Lord Fa Zheng, I was wrong. I was wrong!" Zhang Lu wanted to beg for mercy.
Fa Zheng didn't even look at Zhang Lu. "My Lord, envoys are not killed when two armies are fighting. However, when it comes to traitors, please make a decision!"
"Ah ah!" Zhang Lu was completely dumbfounded.
"Drag him out and behead him!" Liu Zhang also had a bad influence on Zhang Lu. Zhang Lu's table manners were too ugly. If you want to frame your younger brother, then so be it. You should at least have a better table manners and cover it up a little. Zhang Song had just been locked up, and Zhang Lu had moved his mansion to Zhang Song's mansion. How could such a person be liked by others?
"Fa Zheng, Fa Zheng, I will wait for you below. I will wait for you below!" Zhang Lu knew that he couldn't escape death.
"Puff!" Zhang Lu's head naturally didn't need to be delivered. It was directly thrown out. Just like other lives in this chaotic world, it disappeared.
"Mr. Fa Zheng, I will leave the matter of contacting His Highness to you!" Liu Zhang's attitude towards Fa Zheng had also changed. It was impossible for Liu Bei to form an alliance here. They were surrounded by enemies on all sides. If Liu Zhang didn't want to die here, then he must rely on the support of the Provincial Army.
"I will not disappoint my Lord!" Fa Zheng's face turned serious. He was overjoyed.
"I am tired!" Liu Zhang waved his hand. Although Liu Zhang's ability was weak, he still had feelings for everything in Yizhou. These lessons were handed to him by his father, but now he couldn't hold on to them.
… …
In Xiangyang, Jing Province.
Liu Mang was reading the information from all over the place.
"Reporting to His Highness, Zhang Song requests an audience!" A guard outside the door reported.
"Zhang Song? Quickly announce it! "Liu Mang put down the information in his hand and shouted.
"Yes!"
"Zhang Song greets His Highness!" Zhang Song walked into the Prefecture Overseer Mansion and saluted Liu Mang.
"Quickly, please rise! Ziqiao, is there something important for you to come here? " The sky was gradually getting dark, but Zhang Song still came in the middle of the night. Something important must have happened.
"Your Highness, Fa Zheng has sent a message!"
"Oh? Quickly present it! " Liu Mang took the letter from Zhang Song's hand and skimmed through it. The more he read, the stranger his expression became.
"What's wrong? My Lord, is there a change in Yizhou? "
"No!" Liu Mang handed the letter to Zhang Song. Zhang Song had not opened it yet, so he took it and read it.
The letter said that Liu Zhang had agreed to Liu Mang's request. He only asked Liu Mang to send troops and was willing to go to Shouchun to be his Chengdu Commandery Prince. Liu Mang found it strange. First, he did not expect that the old fox, Jia Xu, to have Cai Mao and Kuai Yue pretend to be Liu Bei's troops and frame Liu Bei. The second one was Jian Yong.
Jian Yong was Liu Bei's childhood friend. Now that Liu Zhang had gouged out his eyes and cut off his tongue, how would Liu Bei react?
"Pass down the order to assemble the army. Once Liu Zhang's official document arrives, immediately mobilize the troops!" This time, he could not let Liu Bei escape.
…
In Wu County, Liu Bei was anxiously waiting for the news. He, Liu Bei, was now at the end of the road and had no choice. If Liu Zhang formed an alliance with him, he could still make a living. If Liu Zhang refused, then Liu Bei would really be finished.
"My Lord, don't worry. As long as Liu Zhang wants to be the Governor of Yizhou, he will definitely agree to your conditions!" Pang Shiyuan comforted Liu Bei.
"I hope so!" Liu Bei nodded. He did not know why he had a bad premonition in his heart. He shook his head violently to get rid of this uneasiness.
"My Lord, my Lord, Lord Jian Yong, Lord Jian Yong is back!" Suddenly, there was a shout from the other side.
"Jian Yong is back?" Liu Bei and Pang Shiyuan looked at each other and saw joy in each other's eyes. Before Jian Yong left, he said that he had to persuade Liu Zhang. If he could not persuade him, he would not return. Now that Jian Yong was back, it meant that Jian Yong had persuaded Liu Zhang. They had succeeded.
"Congratulations, my Lord. The opportunity to make a comeback is right in front of you!" Pang Shiyuan cupped his fist and said to Liu Bei.
"Haha!" Liu Bei had been through ups and downs for many years. Now, he was much more open-minded than before.
"Then I'll take advantage of Shiyuan's auspicious words. Let's go and welcome our hero!" Liu Bei said to Pang Shiyuan. Jian Yong had helped them persuade Liu Zhang to form an alliance with Liu Zhang. This was a great merit.
Liu Bei and Pang Shiyuan went out together and saw a carriage that had just entered the city.
"Where is Jian Yong?" Liu Bei's bad premonition deepened.
"Lord Jian Yong is in the carriage!" The coachman said respectfully.
"En?" Liu Bei frowned. He was the lord. Even if Liu Bei was polite to the wise, it should be Jian Yong who came out to welcome Liu Bei. Did he really treat politeness as a blessing?
If he did not know that Jian Yong was not such a proud person, Liu Bei was afraid that Jian Yong would remember this.
"Xian He?" Liu Bei shouted. In the carriage, there was a sound of "Ah".
"Xian He, are you in there?" Liu Bei shouted again, but other than "Ah", there was no other word. What was this Jian Yong doing? As the lord, he had personally come to welcome him. Why didn't he come out?
"Xian He!" Liu Bei shouted again. This time, Liu Bei was a little angry.
"Lord, don't shout. Mr. Jian Yong can't respond to you anymore!" The coachman on the side said to Liu Bei.
"You are?" Liu Bei looked at the coachman. "You are Xian He's page boy?"
Liu Bei recognized the coachman. Wasn't he Jian Yong's page boy?
"What happened to Xian He?" Liu Bei had already seen tears on the page boy's face. What was going on?
"Lord, Mr. Xian He, he …"
Just as the page boy was about to explain, a white-haired man came out of the carriage. He closed his eyes tightly.
The color of his hair had changed, but Liu Bei still recognized him at a glance. Wasn't this person his childhood friend, Jian Yong, Jian Xianhe?
"What's the matter, Xian He, your hair?" Liu Bei asked strangely. Before he left, Jian Yong's hair was still black. Did it turn white overnight?
"Lord, sob sob sob!" The page boy cried directly.
From his choked voice, Liu Bei slowly understood the fact that the possibility of him, Liu Bei, and Liu Zhang was gone.
"Xian He!" When he heard what Liu Zhang had done to Jian Yong, Liu Bei trembled.
Jian Yong over there seemed to have heard Liu Bei's call. He slowly opened his eyes. There were no eyes, only two empty eye sockets.
Both his eyes had been dug out by Liu Zhang long ago.
"Xian He is talking to you. Speak!"
"Ah ah ah ah!" Jian Yong could only reply like this.
"What's going on?" Pang Shiyuan didn't react for a while. Everything was fine just now. How did it become like this all of a sudden?
"Lord, Military Counselor, in the beginning, Mr. Jian Yong and Liu Zhang had a good talk, but later, later, Liu Zhang said that our army attacked their city! They said that Mr. Jian Yong was a liar who didn't keep his word, so they cut off his tongue. They also said that Mr. Jian Yong was blind and dared to deceive their Prefecture Overseer, so they dug out Mr. Jian Yong's eyes. "
"Pfft!" Liu Bei suddenly couldn't help but spit out blood.
