Chapter 51

The next day, the State Shepherd's Mansion slaughtered cattle and sheep, and held a big feast. Officials from all over the state came to the State Shepherd's Mansion for the banquet.

Liu Bei took Liu Qi and Liu Cong to meet officials from all over the country at the gate, while Zhao Yun guarded Liu Bei.

Zhang Wu rode a Luma alone to the state pastoral mansion, and seeing Liu Bei, Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and others standing at the door, he couldn't help feeling amused.

Man, I really know people, face, but not heart. How could Liu Bei know that Cai Mao and Kuai Yue, who were standing respectfully beside him at this time, were planning to kill him!
Seeing Kuai Yue, Zhang Wu suddenly remembered something, so he led Lu Ma to Kuai Yue's side, and said: "The last general Zhang Wu pays a visit to Mr. Yidu, how is Mr. lately?"

Kuai Yue recruited Zhang Wu and Chen Sun together with Pang Ji at the beginning, so he is also familiar with Zhang Wu.

The current Zhang Wu is no longer the vice-general Jiang Xia who had a position but no authority, so Kuai Yue also politely said: "I'm sorry for General Zhang, I'm fine."

"I am deeply saddened to hear that Mr. Ling's brother Zirou died of illness. I have lost another great talent in Jingzhou! I also ask Mr. Yidu to express my condolences!" Zhang Wu said with a sad face.

Kuai Yue's elder brother Kuai Liang was also a very outstanding talent in the Kuai family. He was once the chief secretary of Liu Biao and later the prefect of Jiangling. He died of illness some time ago.

Kuai Yue said hastily: "My brother unfortunately died of illness, the more I feel the deepest grief, but people have life and death, my brother has already seen it before he left."

Zhang Wu suddenly patted Lu Ma, and said to Kuai Yue: "I heard that when Mr. Zirou was alive, he was the best at looking after horses, and Mr. Yidu must be quite proficient in this. My horse was born by chance, and it is extremely majestic. I used this horse to capture Jiangdong General Han Dang alive, why don't I ask you to match this horse for me."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone around looked at Zhang Wu's horse. It was indeed very majestic, and it looked like a thousand-mile horse. What's more, the news of Zhang Wu's capture of Han Dang had spread throughout Jingzhou, and Zhang Wu was also known as the "Flying General". , this horse really lives up to its reputation.

Although Kuai Yue was not as good as Kuai Liang when it came to Xiangma, he still knew quite well. At this time, he looked at Zhang Wu's horse carefully and he already had the answer in his heart, but he was still very hostile to Zhang Wu in his heart, because Zhang Wu used Huang Zu to fight to death. The opportunity to control Jiangxia's military power has become an uncontrollable factor in Jingzhou.

So Kuai Yue praised: "Sure enough, it is a thousand-mile BMW. It is rare in the world. General Zhang is really lucky to get this BMW. May General Zhang make another victory with this horse!"

Zhang Wu knew Kuai Yue's attitude towards him as soon as he heard that he was not telling the truth to him.This is because he has ill intentions towards himself, knowing the origin of this horse but not telling him.

"Hahahaha..." Zhang Wu laughed loudly, "It seems that Mr. Yidu's equestrian skills are far worse than Mr. Zirou's. After I got this horse, I also asked someone to look for it. The person said that this horse has tear grooves under its eyes. There are white spots on the forehead, named Lu, and the rider is in the way of the master. Mr. Yidu didn't see it, or did he not want to tell me the truth?"

Kuai Yue didn't expect that Zhang Wu would expose him face to face, so he couldn't help being a little embarrassed, and he felt a little more hatred towards Zhang Wu, so he said awkwardly: "Is that really the case? General Zhang joked, how could I deliberately deceive you? It seems that I haven't Get the true biography of my brother!"

For unknown reasons, every time Liu Bei saw Zhang Wu's horse, he felt very fond of it, always thinking how great it would be if that horse belonged to him.But this horse is Zhang Wu's war horse, and it will be ridden on the battlefield, and it will never be given away.

At this time, Liu Bei heard Zhang Wu say that the horse named Lu, although very majestic, would hinder the owner, and he couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied. But mortals have a destiny, how can a horse interfere with it?
After hearing this, Cai Hao gloated a little, but also asked incomprehensibly, "In this case, why do you still ride this horse? It's a pity that such a majestic Chollima will hinder the Lord!"

Zhang Wu saw that many people around him expressed regret, and he couldn't help laughing loudly: "Hahahaha...the so-called life and death are fate, wealth and honor are in the sky, how can a person's life be determined by a horse. I wait for the generals to regard war horses Like a family member, I also regard this horse as a brother. I don’t believe it will hinder me. As the saying goes, if the earthen pot is not broken away from the well, the general will inevitably die in battle. When our generation of warriors died in battle, the horse leather shroud is the greatest honor. The bed is the greatest shame."

Zhang Wu's remarks stunned everyone present, they didn't expect this vulgar-looking martial artist to have such opinions, this person is not simple.

In particular, the generals such as Zhao Yun and Wenpin who were present were deeply moved and admired Zhang Wu's words. They all saluted and said: "General Zhang, I have learned a lesson!"

Liu Bei couldn't help but look at Zhang Wu differently, a real man should die in battle, return the body shrouded in horse leather, how can he die old on the bed, it's a pity that he has been fighting all his life!
Zhang Wu smiled again: "Mr. Xuande, I think it's almost time to come, let's go in?"

Liu Bei quickly said: "Okay, okay, everyone, please!"

All the officials said in unison: "Uncle Liu, please!"

So everyone entered one by one, and the banquet officially began.

All the officials came to the hall, Liu Bei sat as the chairman, Liu Qi and Liu Cong sat on the two sides, and the rest sat in turn.

Zhao Yun still stood by Liu Bei's side with his sword.

Wenpin, Wang Wei came to invite Zhao Yun to take a seat at the military commander's seat, but Zhao Yun refused.

Liu Bei saw that the two sons were there, and who would dare to cause trouble on such a grand occasion, so he persuaded Zhao Yun to go over and make friends with the generals in Jingzhou by the way, after all, he will spend some time in Jingzhou in the future.

Zhao Yun reluctantly obeyed his orders and left.

Cai Mao had already made preparations, tidying up the outside as if it were iron bars, and sent all the three hundred soldiers brought by Liu Bei back to the building, and only waited for the half-drinking to start.

Zhang Wu was also sitting on the military commander's seat, but when he saw Zhao Yun coming to take his seat, he knew that Cai Mao was going to attack.He knew that someone would inform Liu Bei, so he didn't remind Liu Bei. After all, mobilizing so many soldiers and horses could not deceive everyone, especially Yi Ji, who had always had a crush on Liu Bei.

After Zhang Wu drank a few sips of wine, ate some food, and deepened his relationship with Zhao Yun, Wenpin, Wang Wei and other generals one by one, he found an excuse to come out. He wanted to wait for Liu Bei and Cai Mao by the Tanxi River. 's arrival

Sure enough, after drinking for three rounds, Yiji came over to toast Liu Bei, and then kept giving Liu Bei a glance, and said in a low voice, "Let's go to the bathroom together!"

Liu Bei understood, and immediately got up and said to the people around him: "I'm going to the bathroom, excuse me."

Yi Ji offered another glass of wine to Liu Qi and Liu Cong. Seeing that Xuande had gone, he immediately put down his glass and quickly came to the back garden. He found Liu Bei, looked around, and whispered in Liu Bei's ear, "Xuande, Cai Mao has set up an ambush to kill you, three places outside the city, east, south, and north, are guarded by soldiers, only the west gate can go, Duke Xuande flees quickly!"

Liu Bei was shocked, he didn't expect someone to harm him, but he didn't know whether it was Cai Mao's personal action or Liu Biao's intention.At this time, he didn't want to think too much, Liu Bei hurriedly untied the horse, opened the small gate of the back garden, flew on the horse, ignored Zhao Yun and his entourage, and rode away looking at the west gate.
