Outside Nanchang, Jingzhou military camp.

The soldiers who came from Xiangyang to convey the news stood in the big tent. To the point, Liu Biao's order was to transfer Liu Xiu back to Xiangyang.

After hearing this, Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment, with a dignified look in his eyes. The news came so suddenly that Liu Xiu was not even prepared. Liu Xiu asked, "let me return to Xiangyang. Whose suggestion is it?"

The soldier did not hide, but directly replied, "it's the proposal put forward by commander CAI."

When Liu Xiu heard the speech, he secretly hated Cai Mao's bad deeds. He knew that this was Liu Biao's order and there was no room for turning around. He said, "I know. I will leave for Xiangyang the day after tomorrow at the latest."

The soldier who delivered the message was ordered to leave.

Immediately, Liu Xiu called Huang Zhong, Deng Zhan, Pang Tong, Ma Liang and Zhao Yun into the big account.

Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "just received the news, Cao Ren of Nanyang County showed signs of waving troops to the south. Cai Mao suggested to his father that I should go back to take charge of the war. My father agreed to Cai Mao's suggestion and ordered me to return to Xiangyang immediately. "

Brush!

When they heard the words, their faces were dignified.

In the critical period of attacking Yuzhang County, Liu Xiu was transferred away suddenly, which had a great influence.

Pang Tong frowned and said, "now that it's the coldest time in winter, Cao Jun can't really attack Jingzhou. At most, he just pretends. In particular, Cao Cao is not ready. Xiangyang's so-called danger is just a little harassment. It's enough to have Liu Bei in the north. Cai's proposal to transfer the Lord back is to weaken his power and prevent him from attacking Yuzhang county. "

After a pause, Pang Tong said, "this move of CAI Junshi has helped Zhou Yu a lot."

Liu Xiu nodded and said, "Cai Mao wants to weaken me all the time. His skill is really cutting corners. Especially when my father gave the order, there was no room for turning back. "

Huang Zhong said: "can you delay time? We immediately sent troops to attack Nanchang County in the shortest time, and the Lord returned to Xiangyang. "

Liu Xiu shook his head and said: "my father personally ordered that if I refuse to go back, or if I delay going back, the loss may be greater. Just go back, go back. And this time back to Xiangyang, we must solve the problems of the Cai family, otherwise the Cai family will always make trouble. "

Liu Xiu added: "to call you together is to arrange the next layout of the army. After I left, the army was presided over by Huang Zhong and assisted by Deng Zhan. Pang Tong is in charge of military planning, and Ma Liang is in charge of internal affairs. "

When they got the order, Liu Xiu said, "Hu Zi, stay here and listen to Huang Zhong's arrangement."

Huang Hu said: "I want to protect your safety."

Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "there's no need. When I go back to Xiangyang this time, I'll take Zilong with me. With him, no one can hurt me. Moreover, I am not a man without the strength to bind a chicken. Yuzhang county needs more people. You can make a big difference by staying. "

Huang Hu nodded and stopped talking.

The next day, Liu Xiu sent someone to get in touch with Chaisang huangzu and asked him to take care of AI county. If AI county or Huang Zhong's troops encounter difficulties, they can ask Huang Zu for help.

After dealing with the matter, Liu Xiu left Yuzhang county with Zhao Yun and Deng AI.

After entering Changsha County, Liu Xiu went to visit Han Xuan when he passed Linxiang County, and then went all the way north.

At the end of December, the party finally entered Xiangyang.

On this day, it was a rare encounter with good weather.

Sunny, although the weather is still cold, the sun, but very comfortable. It's only half a day's journey to Xiangyang. Before dark, Liu Xiu will certainly be able to get back, so he is not in a hurry. The three of them ride back slowly.

"Stop!"

Suddenly, a group of assassins dressed in black were killed on the official road, and the number was about ten. One of the leaders, covering his face and holding a long sword, roared: "are you LIU Xiu?"

After hearing this, Liu Xiu said, "do you look like me?"

The assassin led the way: "look at you, about 20 years old, it should be Liu Xiu. Well, it's you. I tell you, we are here to assassinate you. "

Deng AI pulls out his sword, but Liu Xiu stops him.

Liu Xiu said, "you are an assassin, but are there any assassins who kill openly?"

The leader of the assassin snorted and said, "the real assassin is an open and aboveboard assassin. Your life is going to die in my hands. Is there anything you want to say before you die? "

Liu xiudao: "I want to say that I met a group of stupid people."

"To die!"

The leader of the assassin roared: "kill

More than ten assassins in black standing on one side rushed up and rushed to Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu said, "Zilong, it's up to you."

Zhao Yun snorted and disdained to say, "it's just a group of stupid thieves. You have excellent swordsmanship and can handle it." He said so, but he was already carrying a dragon gall silver gun and riding up. People on the horse, with the help of the power of the horse sprint, Longdan bright silver gun is amazing, gun tip swept, instantly killed two assassins.Deng AI followed Deng Zhan to learn swordsmanship and honed it on the battlefield. His swordsmanship was quite extraordinary. He drew his sword out of its sheath, roared, and galloped up. Although Deng AI was not old, he was old, calm and swift.

Two people attack together, in an instant, the assassin is half dead.

The leader of the assassin didn't rush forward at all. Seeing the opportunity, he roared: "Liu Xiu is ferocious. Withdraw quickly."

With an order, the rest of the assassins immediately turned around and flew into the forest.

In the twinkling of an eye, except for a few bodies on the official road, there was no assassin. This group of assassins came quickly and left in a hurry.

Zhao Yun shrugged his shoulders and said, "I've been assassinated, but what I've met is a group of waste. It's a waste of my physical strength."

Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "it's a bit strange."

Deng AI's face looked dignified and said, "young master, Xiao AI also feels strange. Since these assassins are assassins, they must be instructed by others, but they chose to kill them in a dignified way. It seems to be an assassination, but it gives people a sense of intention. Just a fight, but turned away. Come in a hurry, go in a hurry, no assassin will kill. Their behavior gives people the feeling that there is no silver here. It seems that they did it on purpose. "

Zhao Yun said with a smile: "young master Xiu, when you go back to Xiangyang, the wind and rain are coming."

Liu Xiu said helplessly: "no matter, go back to the city first, and respond to changes with no change." For this assassination, Liu Xiu couldn't see through the situation for a while.

This is a strange assassination.

The party continued on their way. After returning to Xiangyang, Liu Xiu first went to see Xiangyang County Magistrate and told Xiangyang County Magistrate about the assassination to deal with it.

Then Liu Xiu went back to the prefecture.

Liu Xiu's "thank you father."

Liu xiudao said thanks, and then said something about his family, so he left.

After getting out of the study, Liu Xiu went back to the yard and put Zhao Yun and Deng AI in the yard. After changing into clean clothes, he went out to Kuai Fu.

The Kuai family is most aware of the situation in Xiangyang.

Every time Liu Xiu returned to Xiangyang, he would visit Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue to inquire about the current situation. In particular, he suddenly received an order to come back to Xiangyang, a black eye on the situation, more need to consult two people.
