When autumn came, it was September 8th.
When my flower blooms, all the flowers die.
This was Huang Chao's poem, but it was recited by Wang Xiong.
After the battle of Nanchang, countless Yuzhang citizens responded to the Red Cliff Army's call.
In just a few days, Jiancheng, Xingan, Yichun, Linru, Yuhan and other places had all fallen. Even without the army attacking the city, the city defenses were destroyed by the people.
This month, all the officials in Yuzhang were terrified.
At the end of September.
Zhuge Xuan had finally returned to Jing State after going through countless dangers.
South County.
Xiangyang, in the Prefecture Overseer's Mansion.
At this moment, many high-ranking officials of the Jing State had gathered.
Among them, Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, Cai Mao and others were the main ones.
"Prefecture Overseer."
Zhuge Xuan knelt in the hall and said with a sad expression,""When Yuzhang fell, the Imperial Court appointed Zhu Hao as the prefect. He borrowed troops from Liu Yao and forced me to withdraw from Yuzhang.”
"Is that so?"
Liu Biao's face was elegant, but his eyes were cold.
"Absolutely."
Zhuge Xuan raised his head and replied," I'm also thinking of the big picture. If I rashly start a war with Zhu Hao, it will definitely cause a lot of gossip."”
"Heh."
Cai Mao sneered endlessly and said," You retreated to avoid the battle, but I heard General Liu Pan say that you even went to Haiying City!"”
"Yes."
"Wang Zhengnan wanted us to assist him, but I rejected him!" Zhuge Xuan said without hiding anything.”
"Zhuge Xuan."
"You disappoint me."
Liu Biao's gaze was sharp as he said coldly," This morning, Pan 'er sent news that Zhu Hao has been defeated by Wang Xiong. Half of Yuzhang has fallen. How could a bandit with a Yellow Turban background have such terrifying military strength?"”
"What?"
Zhuge Xuan said in shock.
"Bang!"
Liu Biao threw a report on the hall and said sternly,""You are the prefect of Yuzhang that I recommended, but after leaving Nanchang, you went to Haihun. Now that more than half of Yuzhang has been occupied, do you dare to say that it has nothing to do with you?”
"Prefecture Overseer."
Zhuge Xuan raised his head, wanting to explain.
"Alright."
Liu Biao waved his sleeve and said coldly," By going to Haihun, you're telling the world that the Red Cliff Army is our Jingzhou army. Moreover, it's a bandit army that was born from the remnants of the Yellow Turban!”
"Prefecture Overseer, Jingzhou has nothing to do with the Red Cliff Army!" Zhuge Xuan explained.”
"Brother Zhuge."
On the side, Kuai Liang sighed." Red Cliff is the Red Cliff of Jiangxia. Wang Zhengnan used Red Cliff as his army. Adding on your actions in Yuzhang, what do you think Yangzhou Mu Liu Yao will think? If you tell the emperor of Chang 'an, how can you still stand in Jingzhou?”
"Swoosh."
Zhuge Xuan's face instantly turned pale.
He staggered and fell to the ground, his mind buzzing.
"Men."
Liu Biao waved his hand and said fiercely," Zhuge Xuan colluded with the traitor Wang Xiong to start a war between Jingzhou and Yangzhou. Immediately behead him and send him to Qu 'a in Yangzhou. This is a clear indication of Jingzhou's intentions!"”
"Prefecture Overseer."
"Liu Jingzhou."
Zhuge Xuan shouted in disbelief.
"Zhuge Xuan."
Liu Biao's expression was complicated. He sighed and said," I had no choice. The world is in chaos now. If the clan members fight each other, the world will look up to them. At that time, the Great Han Dynasty will be ethereal and the nobles will not submit. You can be considered to have sacrificed your life for the Great Han Dynasty. As for Zhuge Jin and the others, Jingzhou will treat them well!”
"Thank you, Prefecture Overseer."
Zhuge Xuan knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
At this moment, there was no fear or resentment in his heart.
Instead, he thought of the conversation Wang Xiong had with his uncle and nephew back at the Haiying County Magistrate's Mansion.
Zhuge Xuan was dead.
He had only entered Xiangyang for two hours before he was beheaded.
At the same time, the news of Zhuge Xuan and Wang Xiong conspiring to capture Yuzhang spread throughout the city, and the people of Xiangyang despised the Zhuge family.
South of Xiangyang City.
In a simple and shabby courtyard.
Zhuge Liang sat in the courtyard in a daze, as if he had lost his soul.
"Elder brother."
"Uncle is really dead!"
Zhuge Jun's eyes were filled with hatred, almost devouring his mind.
They had returned to Jing State from Yuzhang with great difficulty, but what they had received was a cold blade. How desolate and hesitant they were.
"Uncle."
"He has a death wish."
Zhuge Jin muttered in a low voice.
"I was wrong."
"Brother, we were all wrong."
Zhuge Liang bit the corner of his mouth and said angrily,""The Red Cliff Army is just an excuse. Whether we go to Haiying or not, uncle will die. Liu Biao has never lost the intention to enter Jiangdong. Only by killing uncle will he have an excuse to attack Yuzhang!”
"What?"
Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Jun said angrily.
"Liu Yao couldn't care less about the Red Cliff Army!”
"The enemy of Jiangdong is Yuan Shu and Sun Ce!”
"Liu Biao wants to use his uncle's head to express goodwill and tell Liu Yao that he has no interest in Yuzhang, but he can send troops to destroy the Red Cliff Army on his behalf to show that the clan is helping each other!”Zhuge Liang understood everything. His expression was filled with sadness and unwillingness.
"Uncle."
"It's not worth it!"
Zhuge Jin was so angry that his eyes went black.
Liu Biao was ruthless.
The Red Cliff Army was ferocious.
Zhuge Xuan was hot-blooded, but he became a chess piece for the forces to fight.
