Chapter 91 Active Rescue
,,,,,,,,,,,,
"Slowly" Liu Jing's cold voice suddenly came from outside the tent.
He was worried about it, but Liu Jing came back. After lifting the curtain, Liu Jing walked in from outside, without wearing a helmet, and wrapped his head with white linen. This was because he was injured on the head. Liu Hu was following him. He was actually injured many times, but his skin was thick and there was no big problem.
Liu Jing slowly walked to the letter delivery soldier and sneered, "Do you know who I am?"
The sending soldier was confused in his eyes and couldn't speak for a long time. Pin suddenly understood, and was furious in his heart. He pulled his sword and stabbed hard. The sending soldier screamed and fell to the ground and died. He didn't know who the young man in front of him was.
Pin pulled out his sword and said with hatred: "How dare Jia Xu bully me?"
He waved his hand and the soldiers carried the body out. He asked Liu Jing with concern, "Master, is it important to have the injury on your head important to let the military doctor see it?"
"Thank you, Shuai, the blood has stopped. I applied the golden sore medicine and was hit by Cao Jun with a knife. The wound is not big and it is relatively stable."
Speaking of this, Liu Jing frowned slightly, "What he said just now was Jia Xu."
Pin nodded, "I got the news. Jia Xu came from Xu Du to assist Xiahou Dun and used fake books to deceive me into attacking. It should be Jia Xu's vicious plan."
It turned out to be Jia Xu
Only then did Liu Jing realize that the person who set up this poisonous plan was the famous Jia Xu, and he was indeed well-known. If Zhao Yun had not come to save him, he would have been caught by Cao's army, and Cao's army's plan to surround the mountain and attack Liu Bei would have succeeded. However... now they should have given up the Jingzhou army and attacked Liu Bei with all their might.
Just as I thought of this, someone outside reported: "Qi Bingshuai, Liu Bei sent someone to ask for help."
Pin and Liu Jing looked at each other, it should be a real call for help. Pin nodded, "Please come in"
He walked in a hurry and knelt down on one knee and said, "After the order of General Zuo, he came to ask the general for help. Nearly 20,000 Cao's army surrounded Xinye. Xinye's situation was critical and he begged for rescue in Jingzhou."
He presented a handwritten letter from Liu Bei with both hands, opened it and read it. It was exactly the same as the handwriting just now, and his brows frowned.
Liu Jing recognized that the soldier in front of him was Liu Bei's personal bodyguard, and he asked him to leave Xinye quickly at dusk.
"Handsome, this person is real"
Pin nodded, "You go down and rest first, I will arrange it myself."
"Thank you, General"
The sergeant went down to report the news, and Pin paced back and forth in the big tent with his hands behind his back, looking worried. Seeing this, Liu Jing increasingly confirmed his speculation. Liu Biao did not want to rescue Liu Bei at all, so Pin would be so embarrassed.
"Shirtless, my uncle is not allowed to rescue him."
Pin sighed after a while, "From my original intention, Liu Bei and us have a cold lips. If Liu Bei is destroyed, no one in Jingzhou will persuade the lord to resist Cao and go to rescue him, but the lord has strict orders, and I dare not disobey the lord's order."
Although Liu Jing was also wary of Liu Bei, he knew that Liu Bei occupied Jingzhou later and would sooner or later become his strong enemy, Cao Cao in the north was his real enemy in the future. Compared to Cao Cao, Liu Bei was nothing.
On the other hand, Liu Bei was a key figure in the fight against Cao Cao. As the recruit said, if Liu Bei was finished, no one in Jingzhou would be willing to resist Cao again. History would be changed, and Cao Cao's cavalry would sweep across Jingzhou and Jiangdong. His own strength was light and he was far from Liu Bei's reputation.
So at this time, at least before the Battle of Chibi, I should work hard with Liu Bei to resist Cao's army. As for how to share the results of victory in the future, or how to divide the spoils, it depends on everyone's ability.
In fact, Liu Jing has long weighed this point repeatedly, and anything has its own two sides. Although this time Cao's invasion of the south was indeed a good opportunity to kill Liu Bei, he hoped to take advantage of it.
But if Liu Bei died, the Battle of Red Cliff might not have happened. Without the turning point of the Battle of Red Cliff, Liu Jing alone would not have changed the general trend of Cao Cao unifying the world.
Another more important point is that if Xinye City is broken, can Zhao Yun survive even if it is for Zhao Yun, he must persuade Liu Biao to rescue Liu Bei.
Thinking of this, Liu Jing immediately made a decision and said, "I will rush to Xiangyang now to persuade my uncle to send troops."
Pin nodded, which was what he expected, and hoped that Liu Jing could persuade his lord to support Liu Bei. He immediately agreed to Liu Jing's plan, "Then my army will advance twenty miles forward to station and intimidate Cao's army."
Speaking of this, he looked at Cai Zhong who had just walked to the door of the tent, immediately became alert, and said, "I will ask the Qu Department to escort you to Xiangyang and set off immediately."
Cai Mao's camp is stationed in the north of Hekou Town, just between Fancheng and Xinye, only twenty miles away from the camp. Cai Zhong is a deputy general in the recruitment tent. Cai Mao knows the situation of recruitment clearly.
In the big tent, Cai Mao had just received a quick letter from Cai Zhong. Liu Jing returned from injury and had already rushed to Xiangyang to persuade Liu Biao to send troops. This news made Cai Mao punch the table hard, "Baoman"
Cai Mao cursed and walked back and forth with his hands behind his back. Cai Mao had two biggest wishes in this Xinye Battle. He could use the hands of Cao's army to eliminate Liu Bei. At the same time, if possible, Liu Jing would also be killed in Xinye and pull out his flesh thorn.
But now, not only did Liu Jing return safely, but he also wanted to persuade Liu Biao to send troops. Cai Mao certainly knew that Liu Jing was a little slight, but if Kuai Yue was willing to come forward, the situation would be different.
For Cai Mao, if Liu Jing is killed, he will be surprised, but this is not what he planned. His real plan is to use the hands of Cao's army to eliminate Liu Bei. Fortunately, Liu Biao also had this idea, which made Cai Mao very proud. As long as the Jingzhou army did not support Liu Bei, Liu Bei would undoubtedly die this time.
However, Cai Zhong's letter made Cai Mao nervous again. If Liu Biao was persuaded and sent troops to support Liu Bei, then this opportunity to eradicate Liu Bei would be missed in vain.
Cai Mao was extremely anxious. He could no longer wait and immediately ordered: "Send Zhang Yun to see me."
Zhang Yun was Liu Biao's nephew. Although he was demoted in the Huo Shaoyou Conservation Office, he was still trusted by Liu Biao. This time he was appointed as Cai Mao's deputy general and led 5,000 navy troops to the north along the Bishui River. Several large ships were also moored near Hekou Town.
After a quarter of an hour, Zhang Yunzhang ran into the tent panting, knelt down on one knee, "Meet the Military Advisor"
Cai Mao and Zhang Yun have formed an alliance. Cai Mao has taken a fancy to Zhang Yun's identity and navy military power. Zhang Yun has taken a fancy to Cai Mao's family background. In addition, both of them support Liu Cong, so they hit it off and formed the Cai-Zhang Alliance, which is Liu Cong's most important support force.
"Step, how is that going on?" Cai Mao did not mention Liu Jing's incident, but asked another question first.
Zhang Yun couldn't help but feel excited and said, "Everything is going well, the condom has been laid out, just wait for the Tao family to get the condom."
Cai Mao thought about it and instructed: "Be careful about this matter. If you need to silence it, silence it to prevent accidents. In addition, I have also said hello to Huang Zu. Supervisor Cao will cooperate with you with all your strength, but you must not let the Tao family know that this matter is related to Huang Zu, otherwise he will not be able to explain it."
"Don't worry, brother, I know it."
Cai Mao nodded and turned the topic to the main business, "I have urgent military information to go to Xiangyang to discuss with my lord. I will come back before tomorrow night. If I am not here, you will be in charge of the army. Don't be careless."
"Are you worried that the provincial governor would regret it?"
"I'm really worried, I have to persuade him again."
After arranging military affairs, Cai Mao took Yu Qu's personal soldiers out of the military camp and rushed to Xiangyang overnight.
..
Liu Jing ran under the escort of dozens of elite cavalry. He arrived at the Han River at dawn and crossed the river to the other side. At this time, the gate of Xiangyang was opened. Liu Jing rode his horse into Xiangyang City and rushed towards Kuai Mansion.
Kuai Yue had finished packing and was about to get on the carriage to the prefecture. As soon as he walked down the steps, he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from a distance, "Kuai, please wait," someone shouted.
Kuai Yue was stunned. He heard that this was Liu Jing's voice and stopped. After a moment, Liu Jing rode his horse and stopped the war horse. "Mr. Kuai, I have something urgent to ask you."
Seeing that Liu Jing was wrapped in gauze, Kuai Yue couldn't help but ask strangely: "Are you injured in a virtuous nephew?"
"Kuai, it's hard to say anything. The situation is urgent now. Please help us."
Kuai Yue nodded, "Let's talk about it when getting in the car."
Liu Jing got on the carriage, the carriage started, and slowly left to the state yamen.
In the carriage, Liu Jing handed the letter of recruitment to Kuai Yue, and roughly told him about the situation of the Xinye Battle. He said without hiding his siege. Finally, he said: "Now 20,000 Cao troops are besieging Xinye. Xinye is in critical condition. I beg Kuai Gong to persuade the provincial governor and send troops to help Xinye."
Kuai Yue read the letter from Pin, which was similar to Liu Jing's words, but Pin emphasized that he had lost his lips and teeth. Kuai Yue pondered for a while and he understood Liu Biao's thoughts, just to use Cao Cao's hands to get rid of Liu Bei.
With a sigh, Kuai Yue said, "Actually, the governor of the state has always been hesitant about Liu Bei's attitude. On the one hand, he hopes that he will be a barrier in the north, but on the other hand, he is worried that Liu Bei will seize the foundation of Jingzhou. If Liu Bei can be honest and stationed in Xinye with peace of mind, the governor of the state will not be suspicious of him. But he is not quiet. He first went to Jiangxia to form an alliance with Huang Zu, and then unscrupulously make friends with famous northern scholars stranded in Jingzhou. I heard that he also went to Lumen Academy to teach. In this way, how can the lord ignore him? To be honest, it may be more difficult to convince the lord to rescue Liu Biao this time."
"But rescue of Liu Bei was not a personal affair, but was in the vital interests of Jingzhou."
Kuai Yue smiled bitterly, "Of course I know this, but I don't know what the lord thinks."
Speaking of this, Kuai Yue patted Liu Jing on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I will do my best."
Liu Jing was silent. This was not a matter of doing his best, but he had to convince Liu Biao.
Kuai Yue also looked out the window and smiled without saying a word. Liu Bei and Cai Mao had a bad relationship. If Liu Bei could be won over to support Liu Qi, it would play a great role in the future lord's determination of Qi as his heir.
With this, he would also try his best to persuade his lord to send troops.
