Chapter 2061 Xiangyang falls, thorns block the way(1/2)
Since his physical problems occurred, Liu Biao has hardly ever been on the city wall to watch the battle. Although Liu Biao did his best in his mansion, there is some difference between him and the leader who is on the front line.
When Cao's army and Cai clique joined hands to capture the southern gate of Xiangyang, Liu Biao sat in the front yard of the mansion. When the first shout came faintly, before the others could hear clearly what was going on, Liu Biao straightened his neck and looked tightly towards the south...
In a blink of an eye, the sound of chaotic fighting broke out in the south like a thunder, and went straight into the sky. The sound of shouting mixed in an instant, sweeping the whole city from south to north, and inside and outside the city, should be mixed with each other, with a murderous aura that shook the entire Xiangyang City, hitting everyone in it, shaking its mind, spreading fear, and meaning death.
『Xiangyang has been broken! Xiangyang has been broken! Only Liu Biao will be killed, and those who surrender will be exempted from death!』
The shouts of killing outside sounded even louder. The deep courtyards and courtyards around the neighborhood seemed to begin to stir up because of this.
Liu Biao's face was thick, so he couldn't tell what kind of face had changed. He just shook his body a few times, then stood still, and said in a deep voice: "Don't panic everyone! It's just a little kid! Let Pang Zhizhong take up his military post temporarily and guard the north gate strictly! Let Wen Zhongye quickly lead the troops in the city to quell the chaos!"
After Liu Biao yelled, his breath was inevitably shortened for a moment. He took a few breaths and continued to order: "Get a certain weapon! Close the front and back doors! The soldiers went up the corner tower! If any thief approached, they would be killed without mercy!"
On the long streets of Xiangyang, there were already chaos, and the cries were connected. In the streets and alleys, there were all the people who were at a loss and running around, as well as some scattered Jingzhou soldiers holding weapons, but they were like headless flies, being led by people, and they didn't know which direction to go.
There are already some fires rising in Xiangyang City. In any chaotic world, there are always people who are ignorant and only think about themselves. When they see chaos, they take advantage of the situation and become a beautiful landscape.
Liu Biao stood on the high platform and shouted with a sword: "I am Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou! Cao's thief is greedy and unrighteous, and he embezzled and robbed Jingzhou! All my loyal and kind people in Jingzhou should not be bewitched by them! Let us defend our foreign enemies and defend our homeland!"
The guards standing near the Jingzhou Mufu Office also shouted: "Together to defend foreign enemies, defend their homes! Together to defend foreign enemies, defend their homes!"
In the panic, it was natural that Liu Biao could hear such a sound. Many scattered Jingzhou soldiers also found their direction and moved closer to Liu Biao.
Amid the black smoke, Liu Biao held up his sword and roared over and over again until his voice was hoarse, and the beads of sweat rolling on his forehead fell, rushing the thick powder on his face out of the ravines.
At this moment, the battle near the southern gate of Xiangyang was already at its most tragic time.
Although Cai Jiu and others took an unexpected advantage at the beginning and caught the soldiers on duty in Jingzhou off guard, the remaining Jingzhou soldiers quickly reacted and rushed over and blocked Cai Jiu and others at the city gate. After all, Cai Jiu and others naturally could not wear any armor on their bodies in order to pretend to be refugees. In the era of cold weapons, whether there is armor or not is two completely different concepts. Under swords and guns, if they encounter it, they will be bleeding and broken. If there are many casualties, their momentum will naturally be damaged, and they will no longer be as fierce as before.
During the fierce battle, people on both sides kept falling down. Some died on the spot, but some were injured, but were slashed by their own family or opponents. Those who were lucky enough to struggle to climb to the corner of the wall. After a few unlucky steps, they gradually lost their breath...
Suddenly, Cai Jiu, who was leading the team to attack the city gate winch, heard a huge shouting sound from the city, and a battle flag with the word "wen" came from the north and rushed straight toward this place!
"Damn it! Damn it!"
Cai Jiuda shouted and quickly ordered his subordinates to move faster, and there was a little panic in his tone. Wenpin's bravery is well known to everyone in Jingzhou. If Wenpin really got here, I am afraid that it would be a failure to steal the city, and even his life would be in danger!

Success or failure, it seems that only who can be faster now!
Wenpin ran south with his men and spears diagonally guided the gate.
Cai Jiu danced his sword crazy and turned his head to urge his subordinates.
Xiahou Dun, in the north of the city, stood under the flag of the central army and personally beat the huge war drums.
The Cai family man in the south of the city stood outside the Xiangyang city gate, anxiously waiting for the city gate to open.
Black smoke rippled.
The flames are fierce.
Howling and crying everywhere.
Liu Biao stood on the high platform, revealing his pale and dry arms, holding a long sword.
Liu Cong hurried under the corner of the wall, opened his frightened and helpless eyes, and hugged his knees.
Everything seems to be in turmoil, everything seems to be a still scene.
The winch at the south gate of Xiangyang was finally twisted, pulling the iron fence that closed the city gate slowly rose...
For a moment, near the south gate of Xiangyang, whether it was above and below the city, whether it was Cao's army or Jingzhou soldiers, they could not help but shout, either with despair or with ecstasy! The Cai family, who was outside the southern city, eagerly pulled the city gate, wishing to rush in the next moment!
Cai Jiu was ecstatic and shouted: "Xiangyang! Xiangyang City has been taken down! The first merit, the first merit is ours!"
Wen Pin raised his arms and shouted: "Press up! Hold on to the city gate!"
The fire rolled up, the black smoke candles the sky. The remaining clouds in the sky seemed to be connected to the black smoke on the ground.
The Cai reinforcements rushed into the city, but were blocked by Wen Pin and others at the intersection of the street at the gate. The Cai soldiers attacked again and again, but with Wen Pin's blessing, the Jingzhou soldiers stood tightly in one place. Even though the Cai soldiers were fighting in red eyes, they still did not make much progress, and there were even signs of being pushed out of the city gate!
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came faintly. Cao Hong and other Cao army cavalry, who were hiding south of Xiangyang, saw the agreed signal and ran out of their hiding place and rushed towards Xiangyang City with a fierce look!
Before Wen Pin could react, he suddenly heard a big uproar in the north of the city!
Wen Pin, who was calm and moderate in his daily life, finally changed his face. After a moment, the increasing noise and uncontrollable chaos spread in Xiangyang City...
Pang Ji, who was in charge of defense at the north of the city gate, was killed by Han Song. Then Han Song ordered the city gate to be opened and surrendered.
Cao's army rushed into the city like a surging tide!
Wen Pin roared to the sky, but was powerless. Liu Biao vomited blood on the tower and was unable to cure.
Xiangyang City is finally falling...
The sun sets.
The chill of night gradually came.
Sometimes, the same news will taste differently in different places. Liu Biao's death may be the result of a series of complex interactions in the Han Dynasty, but from the incident itself alone, there are basically no ones who are happy about Liu Biao's death, or "gladly happy" in the death.
In the Xu County Imperial Palace Hall, the lit oil lamps drew a circle that made people feel a little warm. Although the eunuchs and attendants were standing around, some were in the hall and some were outside the hall, Liu Xie still felt extremely lonely and endless helpless.
Even though Liu Biao had such or such problems, or Liu Biao also had an act of overbearance, Liu Biao was the last Han clan relative in the Han Dynasty who held real power!
After Liu Biao, there was no more flag in the world that the soldiers of the princes put forward, which read "Liu".
Emperor Liu Xie sat silently in front of the chessboard. There was only the occasional sound of making moves in the hall, and opposite Liu Xie was nothingness. Liu Xie seemed to be playing chess with himself, and it was like playing chess with the future.
"I, is this step... the right way, or...
Liu Xie muttered in a low voice, his voice was so meticulous that he could not check. He held a chess piece in his hand and never put it down for a long time.
"Some of what I did are right, some are... wrong... are inevitable. I know this, but no matter whether it is right or wrong, what I do is..."
Liu Xie gently landed the chess piece on the chessboard.
"It's like playing chess, if you don't make a move, you'll lose..." Liu Xie showed his eyebrows slightly, and after a moment, he smiled bitterly, "But after making a move, you can't change it..."
The chessboard is full of black and white colors. Under the illumination of the oil lamp, some other colors seem to be transformed into, flowing and circling on the chessboard.
『Dong, Wang, Li, Guo, Yuan…』 Liu Xie slowly carried the puppy, and then picked up the last one, 『Liu...huh…』
"I have never let down the world... Why do the world... all the way down the world..."
"Why?!"
"Why……"
Liu Xie gritted his teeth a little, and the muscles on his cheeks twitched a little, making the pain in his heart unspeakable.
As early as after Dong Zhuo's death, Liu Xie had a lot of ambitions in his heart. These ambitions came from his father and were born in his bloodline. He also wanted to become the overlord of ZTE like Guangwu. He chose to leave Feiqian's Bingzhou and come to Yuzhou. This is also the place where Guangwu's dragons rise. Liu Xie hopes to embark on Guangwu's road to ZTE from here again. But now it seems that although he has stepped on the footprints left by Guangwu before, the road that was gone.
What remains are thorns everywhere.
Liu Xie struggled, and he fought with Cao Cao, trying to use some people close to him to build a new pattern of the Han Dynasty, and then he could regain control of the world and make the Han Dynasty go formal, but in the end he failed and was discovered by Cao Cao...
Liu Xie's son died.
Cao Cao's son was also dead...
Dead.
Then Liu Xie and Cao Cao realized that if they fought, they would only give in to the other guys standing beside and staring at each other, so they stopped each other, and temporarily put down their hatred with their respective wounds. Then Cao Cao took down Jizhou, and Cao Cao controlled the territory even larger, but in the same way, this also meant that Cao Cao's originally concentrated power in Yuzhou would be flattened. Even Cao Cao himself focused his main energy on Jizhou and left in Yecheng.
Liu Xie was not very clear about Cao Cao's economic difficulties. In his thoughts, he felt that the reason why Cao Cao wanted to attack Liu Biao was because of one word, "Liu".
Cao Cao was worried that when he stayed in Jizhou, he was next door to Yuzhou and south of Xu County, and there was a royal family member!
Once upon a time, Liu Xie thought that he and Cao Cao could really forget the pain and work together, but now it seems that the coldness and cruelty of reality forced Liu Xie to face the black and white and iron blood of this world again.
There is also General Fei Qian of the Cavalry...
Liu Xie sighed.
If it is painful for Cao Cao and Liu Xie, then it is more disappointing for Fei Qian and Liu Xie.
When Cao Cao launched an offensive against Jingzhou, Liu Xie once thought about how the Cavalry General Fei Qian would react? But he didn't expect that Fei Qian would just send Liu Qi to him in the end, and he actually thought that Liu Biao would be defeated by Cao Cao. What made Liu Xie even more painful was that Fei Qian had guessed correctly.
Xiangyang fell and Liu Biao died in the Jingzhou Mufu Office.
Liu Biao...
Isn’t it said that there are 100,000 soldiers?
Liu Xie suddenly felt that Liu Biao had been operating in Jingzhou for so long, whether it was preparing for military service or recuperation, his body, which originally looked huge and strong, turned out to be an empty shell!
After weighing the trade-offs and weighing the trade-offs, Liu Xie finally continued to make a move. Since the chessboard has not been completely overturned, the chess game still needs to continue until it is filled with no place to settle down, and it will be wiped out and a game will be reopened...
On the other side, Liu Qi, who arrived in Xu County, received the message from Xiangyang and could hardly stand the blow and fainted on the spot. Although Liu Qi had once had a rebellious period for youth, he was always his father. Even though he had some preparation in his heart, he still couldn't bear it after hearing the exact news.
As Liu Qi's guard, Liu Pan was also stunned and had a yellowish complexion.
Yi Ji, who was standing beside him, had a complicated expression and finally turned into a sigh.
After a while, Liu Qi, who had regained his consciousness, cried in a low voice, "Father, Lord Father..."
Yi Ji was silent for a moment and said to Liu Pan: "Person Liu, please leave the post station and find some white mahjong... This dress needs to be changed..."
Liu Pan bowed his hand and refused to mention it.
"Young Master..." Yi Ji turned to look at Liu Qi who was crying, "Young Master was so sad...Young Master, this is not the time to be sad..." In this world, it is completely unworkable to try to exchange your own misery for others' mercy and pray for other people's care by crying.
To be continued...
