Crossing the Battle of the Three Kingdoms

After receiving the order, the dead soldiers rushed towards Cai Mao desperately, but under the interception of Liuqi, few people could break through the line of defense.

Even those who broke through by chance, rushed within five steps of Cai Mao who had already stood up, and would be beheaded by the two guards.

The sound of fighting here was loud, but no one came, obviously a secret order had been obtained.

But that's good too, the ten cavalry's amazing massacre power here will not be leaked.

Seeing that two hundred dead men kept falling, but it was difficult to get into Cai Mao's body, the leader knew that the assassination had been known in advance by the opponent, and if the fight continued, it would only increase the casualties in vain.

A knife cut through the entanglement of the two riders, and the leader shouted and retreated quickly. "The wind is blowing, retreat quickly!"

As soon as the order to retreat was issued, the remaining dead soldiers also escorted out of the battle circle in an orderly manner and left quickly.

As for those who have been left behind, they are obviously ready to fight for their lives, and all of them desperately entangle the people who want to chase.

After clearing up the remaining dead soldiers, the ten cavalry who had risen to kill wanted to slap their horses and chase after them, but they were stopped by Cai Mao. "Don't chase after me, poor people don't chase after me."

Hearing Cai Mao's words, the ten riders wiped off the blood on their weapons, returned to their sheaths and patted their horses to come behind Cai Mao.

Seeing this, Cai Mao was both surprised and annoyed. What surprised him was that the strength of the ten cavalry was simply too terrifying. If they entered the enemy's rear and wanted to wreak havoc, no one would be able to stop them.

What made him angry was that these dead soldiers were obviously the first-class masters in the army. If he hadn't prepared himself, I'm afraid today would be the day of his death. Liu Bei and Liu Biao obviously wanted to kill him with one blow.

Cai Hao's face was cold, and he strode up to carefully inspect the corpse to see if he could find anything, but unfortunately, nothing was found.

Cai Mao frowned, stood up and said, "The matter is settled, go back and wait."

Since he couldn't find anything, Cai Mao had no choice but to leave, waiting for Liu Biao and his group to arrive.

When Cai Mao came back empty-handed, he saw Liu Biao and others were already waiting at the exit. Seeing him coming, there was an obvious expression of disbelief on his face.

Cai Mao stepped forward with a blank expression and asked, "Master State Shepherd, can you hunt a white deer?"

"No...yes..." Liu Biao stammered for a while, obviously he didn't expect Cai Mao to come out alive.

Seeing Liu Biao's appearance, Cai Mao continued, "Mao has not hunted a white deer, but he has benefited a lot from what he has experienced."

"Unexpectedly, there are assassins rampant in the outskirts of Nanyang. It seems that we need to rectify it. If Master Zhou is assassinated, then Jingzhou will be in turmoil."

"Assassin, where are they?" Liu Biao asked nervously, but then realized something was wrong, and quickly added: "Whoever dares to assassinate the military division, Benzhou Mu will send people to encircle and suppress."

Cai Mao said coldly: "No need, those assassins have all been killed, and a small number of them have also escaped, just let them go back, and sound the alarm for those behind the scenes."

Hearing this, Liu Biao said with a slight embarrassment on his face, "That's fine, military commander, don't worry, Benzhou Mu will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly, and will never let go of the mastermind behind the scenes."

Cai Mao cupped his hands and said, "Then there will be Lord Shepherd of Laozhou. Mao was a little frightened, so he didn't stay any longer, and left first."

Liu Biao was naturally eager for Cai Mao to leave, and if he stayed now, it would only make the atmosphere feel awkward, and he also had to figure out why this assassination ended in failure.

Cai Mao and his party left, and Liu Biao also asked the accompanying family and others to leave, leaving himself and Liu Bei to return to the city together.

On the way, Liu Biao asked darkly, "Xuande, aren't the two hundred dead men you arranged for the best of the best? Why did you miss it?"

Liu Bei was extremely curious about the failure of the assassination. Normally speaking, Cai Mao must die, but the fact is that the assassination failed, and there must be something strange about it.

Liu Bei replied respectfully: "Bei's arrangement is indeed a group of elites, and the leader is Chen Dao, Bei's personal guard. It should be no problem to take down Cai Mao. Could it be that there is something wrong with the accompanying ten horsemen? "

Without even thinking about it, Liu Biao said, "Out of 200 people, assassinate 11 people. If you are fully prepared, no matter how powerful you are, you will still be injured."

Liu Biao's meaning is very obvious, that is, he suspects that Liu Bei has done something secretly, otherwise such a situation would not have happened.

But Liu Bei is also a smart person, the best explanation is to let the survivors explain it themselves.

"What Bei said is the truth, if you don't believe me, you can call the survivors and ask about the situation at that time, and you will know everything."

Chapter 527 Intercepting Halfway

There is not much use in arguing here now, it is better to follow Liu Bei's suggestion and understand what happened as soon as possible.

The two paused their questioning, speeded back to the city, and went straight to Liu Bei's residence.

When he came to the residence, Liu Bei couldn't wait to have someone summon Chen Dao, ready to ask what happened.

In a room, Liu Biao sat at the main seat, Liu Bei sat on the side, and Chen Dao bowed to the ground, talking about everything that happened in the hunting ground today.

After Liu Biao heard this, he didn't believe it. Instead, he summoned many participants one after another and got a unanimous answer before he was convinced.

Swiping Chen Dao and the others back, Liu Biao said with a serious face, "I never thought that Cai Mao would have such a master by his side. No, if there is, it's impossible not to get some news."

Liu Bei thought for a while and said, "Could it be someone from outside, or someone helping you?"

"Yeah." Liu Biao nodded and said, "It's possible. I don't know exactly how many heroes there are in Jingzhou, but I know a thing or two. What's more, they won't all turn to Cai Mao, so who will help him?"

There may be many people who help Cai Mao, but there are very few who have this strength.

Ten cavalry were able to slaughter more than half of the elite [-] dead soldiers without any damage, which reminded Liu Bei of an army.

Liu Bei was not sure and said: "Bei has heard that Li Huiyi has a troop called Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry, and all of them are formed by fierce generals in the army. Could it be that these ten cavalry are the Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry? .”

"Hiss." Liu Biao took a deep breath, with a hint of fear on his face, and asked cautiously, "Probably not, then what is the purpose of their coming?"

Since the Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry is a terrifying combat force, they will definitely not be dispatched casually, unless there is a major event.

But nothing happened in Jingzhou these days. If you want to take Jingzhou, it is impossible to rely on 18 people alone. The two of them can't guess for a while.

After a long time, Liu Biao suddenly looked at Liu Bei, and said seriously, "If it's really the Eighth Horsemen of Yanyun, could they have come from Xuande?"

Ben came by himself, Liu Bei's expression paused, and after thinking about it, he felt that it was impossible, and the best time to intercept and kill him was before he joined Zhang Fei, Li Huiyi would not make such a big move.

Then when they came to Jingzhou, there must be some ulterior secrets. Based on what they knew about Jingzhou, they might want to pick up Mrs. Cai.

But this may be very small, because there are many opportunities in the past ten years to take it back, and there is no such a coincidence to choose at this time.

Liu Bei shook his head and said: "Impossible, there must be something wrong, Li Huiyi must send them here, brother, why don't you send more people to investigate in the city, just use Cai Mao's assassination as an excuse."

Liu Bei's suggestion is the only thing that can be done right now, and the only way to prevent them is to investigate clearly why they came.

Liu Biao agreed and said, "Okay, that's the only way to go about this matter, but the matter of the hunting ground should not be rumored, otherwise Xuande will be retaliated by Cai Mao, and then brother will have nothing to do. I hope Xuande can handle this matter well."

Liu Biao's words were threatening. As long as the hunting ground was leaked, Liu Biao would be under pressure to take some measures against Liu Bei.

Living under the fence, Liu Bei had long thought about the consequences, and cupped his hands and said, "Brother, don't worry, I don't know anything about this matter, it was done by Bei alone."

Liu Biao was very satisfied with Liu Bei's answer. What he wanted was this kind of obedient and sensible person.

Liu Biao explained a few words, left Liu Bei's residence, and went back to prepare to investigate all the floating population in Jingzhou in recent days.

But Jingzhou is a rich place, not to mention Nanyang, which is a governing place. There are hundreds of merchants coming and going every day. It is impossible to investigate clearly in a short time.
