Three Kingdoms: Hegemony System

Wang Cang was completely ignorant of all this, and took a group of slaves out of Chaisang and went straight to the east.

After walking about five miles out of the city, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians around, Wang Cang was holding a roll of bamboo slips, shaking his head and reading it, when he suddenly heard a burst of exclamations from the slaves outside.

"What's wrong?" Wang Cang's leisure was disturbed, and he was immediately very unhappy, and with a soft snort, he lifted the curtain and looked outside.

This look almost didn't make Wang Cang frightened, and he saw a group of masked men armed with steel knives and bandits, and they had surrounded his convoy.

"It's only five miles away from Chaisang, how can there be robbers cutting the path?"

Wang Cang was a little panicked in his heart, looked at those 'robbers', and said loudly with a forced composure: "Who are you, do you know that I am a messenger sent by Liu Jingzhou to Jiangdong, get out of the way if you know each other!"

Wang Cang is still a little clever, and he knows that at this time, he will pull up the banner of Liu Biao.

It's a pity that Wang Cang's abacus couldn't be played, and he was an ordinary robber, and when he heard that he was Liu Biao's messenger, most of them gave up because they were afraid of Liu Biao.

But these people are some kind of robbers, but people specially sent by Huang Zhong to take Wang Cang's life.

"Remember, these people don't want to leave a single mouth, and the money they grab will be divided equally in a while. "One of the 'robbers' at the head said to the others in a deep voice.

The rest of them all nodded, greedy glances flashing in their eyes.

"Do it!" the leader of the 'bandits' gave the order, and the other fifty people rushed towards the convoy.

Those house slaves and maids have long been frightened, and the only few guards are bloodless at the moment, trembling and unable to even hold the knife.

Soon, a scream startled the surrounding birds.

Wang Cang saw his servants fall in a pool of blood one by one, and he was already so frightened that he couldn't possess his body, and by the time he finally came to his senses, the servants had already died.

"What are you hiding, get out of the labor!" the leader sneered, and with a big hand, dragged Wang Cang out of the carriage directly.

Wang Cang was grabbed by the collar, dragged off the carriage by force, and sat down on the cold road, shivering.

"You ...... Who sent you, and why did you take my life?" Wang Cang finally realized at this moment that these people did not look like robbers at all.

How can a robber's weapon be so new?

"Why, go to Lord Yama and think about it!" the leader sneered, and without talking nonsense, he swung his knife and slashed at Wang Cang.

Wang Cang let out a frightened scream, but the sound soon stopped abruptly, and a head fell to the ground, and a pair of eyes still had a hint of doubt.

The leader put away the steel knife and said to the others: "Take advantage of the fact that others are not coming, search for valuable things, corpses and other things, and burn them all in a fire." "

"Whew!" the rest of the men said yes and began to scavenge and take whatever they could.

The leader found a piece of cloth, wrapped Wang Cang's head, and tied it directly around his waist.

After a while, the people had finished scooping, gathered the corpses together, put a pile of dry wood, lit a fire, and disappeared into the woods.

Wang Cang is not the only one who is unlucky, at this time in Xinye, Liu Bei is also very sad.

On the same day, Liu Jue defeated Cao Ren, and burned Xinye to a fine light, although Cao Jun was defeated, but when Liu Bei returned to Xinye, all he saw was a ruin.

Liu Bei wanted to cry without tears, but thinking that all this was to defeat Cao Jun, he had to sigh in his heart and call on the people to cut down wood and build houses in order to survive this winter.

Who knew that a month later, Xu Shu suddenly received a letter, and then he knew that his mother had fallen into Cao Cao's hands.

Xu Shu's heart was suddenly in turmoil, and he hurriedly found Liu Bei, explained the matter briefly, and then bowed to Liu Bei: "Lord, Cao Cao imprisoned my old mother and wanted to harm him, Xu Shu couldn't help it." "

Liu Bei almost burst into tears when he heard this, and wanted to stop Xu Shu, but the old lady was caught by Cao Cao, if Xu Shu was not allowed to pass, in case Cao Cao harmed Xu Shu's mother, wouldn't Xu Shu be trapped in unfilial piety?

What's more, if others know about this, they will definitely discuss it in private, saying that he Liu Bei killed Xu Shu's mother for his own selfish interests, how can he be worthy of the word 'benevolence and righteousness'?

Liu Bei cherishes his reputation very much, because he really has nothing to do with it except for his reputation.

Liu Bei could only endure the pain and said: "Yuan Zhi can just go, the safety of the old lady is the most important, but can you stay for another night and leave tomorrow, I can say goodbye to Yuan Zhi." "

Xu Shu sighed and said, "It's all up to the lord's orders." "

At this time, neither of them knew that these were all traps under Liu Jue, and even Cao Cao was deceived, and they were only two of the victims.

The next day, Xu Shu said goodbye to Liu Bei in the long pavilion and rode his horse north alone.

Liu Bei looked at Xu Shu's back, his mood was like this weather, it was really endless sadness, and the only strategist he could rely on actually left at this moment.

At this moment, Liu Bei only felt that his ambition might never be realized.

Xinye City was burned, and the strategists were gone, how could it be a tragic word?

Who knew that another month later, Liu Biao suddenly sent someone to send a letter of appointment and asked Liu Bei to go to Wancheng to serve as the county guard of Nanyang.

When Liu Bei received the letter of appointment, his hands were trembling with excitement, and he had the urge to cry with joy.

Zhang Fei was very dissatisfied and said: "Big brother, Liu Biao wants us to block Cao Cao for him and guard the gate of Jingzhou." "

Guan Yu frowned and said: "Some time ago, Liu Jue kidnapped 200,000 people in Nanyang, and now Nanyang is just an empty shell, how can this be kept?"

Liu Bei cheered up and said: "I heard that the third prince only took away the people of more than ten cities, but did not move the people in those villages, if these places are combined, it is roughly estimated that there should be tens of thousands of people." "

Saying that, Liu Bei looked at everyone and continued: "Xinye Projectile City, it is really difficult to become a big thing, not to mention that it is now in ruins, it is better to go north to Wancheng and wait for the opportunity to soar into the sky." "

Everyone looks at me, I look at you, and they all think that the current Wancheng, or Nanyang County, is like chicken ribs.

It's a pity to discard it.

It's just that Xinye is in ruins now, so it's better to go to Wancheng and seek a place to live through this winter.

Two days later, Liu Bei ordered his troops and horses to carry a heavy load, and ordered Guan Yu to ride forward lightly, and go to occupy Wancheng first.

He took the people of Xinye, against the cold wind of hunting, and marched slowly.

Liu Bei rode on a horse, looked at the surging Baihe, cheered himself up, and thought that this time he went to Wancheng, as long as he managed it well, he might not be able to achieve great things.
