    "If Jingzhou falls into the hands of this person, I will die!!!"

    "Cai Degui is ruthless and cruel, and treats the common people like nothing. Such traitors and thugs will be punished by God! The emperor's uncle is unparalleled in his benevolence and righteousness. If the sky has eyes, he will definitely help the emperor's uncle!!"

    For a time, the people's shouts came like a wave.  Fu Xun's expression changed drastically, and the scene in front of him actually forced him to retreat and lose his composure.  Seeing the situation, Zhuge Liang waved his goose feather fan lightly, and the people suddenly stopped talking.  Zhuge Liang suddenly burst out with an overwhelming force of righteousness, approaching Fu Xun.  Fu Xun didn't know why, but he couldn't hide his look of shame as he listened to Zhuge Liang's voice.

    "My dear fellow countrymen, you are actually willing to live and die with your uncle, and fight for justice together! Zhuge Liang has something to say here, if Cai Degui really dares to invade our Fancheng, I will live and die with Fancheng!" "

    "We will live and die together with Fancheng!"

    "We will live and die together with Fancheng!!"

    "We will live and die together with Fancheng!!!"

    There was another wave of sound.  At this time, Fu Xun felt that he was guilty. Zhuge Liang slowly turned around and stared at Fu Xun with broad eyes.  Fu Xun didn't dare to look at him and lowered his head to avoid it.  Zhuge Liang spoke word by word in Fu Xun's ear.

    "Please also ask Fu Cao to report back to the traitor Cai Degui. We, the soldiers and civilians of Fancheng, would rather die than surrender!"

    The pronunciation of Zhuge Liang's words was like thunder. Fu Xun's legs shook and he knelt down.  Two tear marks appeared on Fu Xun's face, and Fu Xun cried.

    "Cai Degui sent me here with no intention of recruiting or accommodating the emperor's uncle. He is afraid of the Duke's strategy and knows that the Duke is a man who loves the people, so he wants to drive a wedge between the Emperor's uncle and the Duke!"

    As soon as Fu Xun said this, the expressions of the Cai clan members who came with Fu Xun suddenly changed, and they were about to scold Fu Xun.  At this time, Liu Jun's soldiers, who had been waiting nearby, immediately swarmed up and captured them all.

    When the people around him heard this, they became angry and shouted at Fu Xun one after another.  Zhuge Liang fanned his goose feather and said to the people.

    "Everyone, please listen to what I have to say. The children of Fu Cao's family are all in Jingzhou, under the supervision of the Cai family. Now, regardless of the safety of the family, he is willing to tell Cai Degui's intentions, which shows that he is also a loyal person. This  Please keep this matter secret and don¡¯t leak any information, otherwise it will not only harm Fu Cao¡¯s family, but also the great uncle¡¯s affairs. I hope you will keep this in mind.¡±

    After Zhuge Liang said this, the resentment of the people towards Fu Xun quickly faded away.  Fu Xun bowed and thanked him, and Zhuge Liang immediately dispersed the people and took Fu Xun back to the county government office.

    Liu Bei heard about the situation early in the morning, and immediately greeted Fu Xun and thanked him for his righteous deed of exposing Cai Degui's evil intentions.  After that, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and Fu Xun had a secret talk in the county government office for about half an hour. Zhuge Liang had many suggestions for Fu Xun.  Fu Xun kept this in mind, and under Liu Bei's arrangement, he rested for a night in the post house, and immediately got up and left Fancheng the next day.

    Not knowing any secret agreement with Zhuge Liang, Fu Xun was ordered to go and see Cai Mao later.  When Cai Hao saw Fu Xun's embarrassed face and panic in his eyes, and saw that he came back alone, he knew that the situation was not good and hurriedly asked him.  Fu Xun fell to the ground and told Liu Bei that he had no intention of surrendering. Zhuge Liang even realized that his intention was to alienate Liu Bei.  Liu Bei was furious and beheaded all the followers who followed him.  I specially spared his life to repay Cai Mao, telling him that he would rather die than surrender, and that he would not be afraid of strong force, and that he would be destroyed by both jade and stone!

    When Cai Mao heard this, he was furious and ordered his soldiers to rush to Xiangyang, preparing to reunite the army and attack Fancheng.  Cai Mao led the remaining army to Xiangyang, but he did not know that Xiangyang had undergone earth-shaking changes at this time.

    It is said that it was half a month before Cai Mao sent troops from Jingzhou.  In Xiangyang County, Gucheng.  The county magistrate of this city is a friend of Wang Can, named Gao Wen.  This person has extraordinary knowledge, knows the geography of the world, knows the past and present, and has a heart of loyalty to the country and the people.

    When Gao Wen was young, he often traveled with Wang Can. The two talked about how to govern the country and secure the country. They talked for a whole day and night.  Although Gao's literary talent and learning were high, they were bleak compared to Wang Can.  Wang Can was soon summoned by Liu Biao because of his reputation and was put into important positions.  Later, Gao Wen was also recommended by others and became the magistrate of Gucheng County.  From then on, the two rarely communicated with each other, but they often communicated through letters.

    Let¡¯s talk about the great changes in Jingzhou, Liu Biao passed away, and the second son Liu Cong became the lord of Jingzhou with the support of Cai Mao.  When Gao Wen heard about it, he felt that there was something wrong with it. At the same time, he felt deeply worried about Liu Biao's decision to abolish the elder and establish a younger one, and for the future of Jingzhou.  Not long after, Gao Wen suddenly learned that Cai Mao wanted to send troops to attack Uncle Liu Huang who was guarding the "Xinye" at the gate of Jingzhou. However, his friend Wang Can repeatedly made suggestions, which angered Cai Mao.  Wang Can was brutally murdered by Cai Mao, and Wang Can's family and the diners in his family were all killed.  All the friends who cried for Wang Can were also killed by Cai Mao.

    Cai Mao is so tyrannical, just like Zhao Gao who was next to Hu Hai, the second emperor of Qin during the Qin Dynasty.  Gawain was extremely angry, but he was so weak that he could not resist Cai Mao.

    At this moment, Mi Fang, who had been secretly lurking in Gucheng under Zhuge Liang's orders, came to see him secretly.Gawain.  Gao Wen always respected Uncle Liu's benevolence and righteousness, and he also knew that under the current situation, something big would happen if Mi Fang came to see him.  Gao Wen immediately led Mi Fang to the secret room of his home.  After the two of them bowed, Mi Fang took off her black gauze straw hat and revealed her face.

    "Gao County Magistrate, Cai Degui tampered with Liu Jingzhou's will, abolished the elders and established young ones, monopolized power, and harmed loyal ministers. The evil he did was really outrageous. My Lord Liu Huangshu couldn't bear the destruction of Liu Jingzhou's foundation at the hands of this person.  In order to fight against him to the end, exterminate the evil thieves, restore the orthodoxy, and assist the eldest son Liu Qi to take over the position of Lord of Jingzhou, there is no evidence to support it. This is a document written by the eldest son Liu Qi, Kuai Zirou, and Kuai Yidu. I also invite Gao Gao.  The county magistrate has reviewed it!¡±

    After Mi Fang finished speaking, she took out a document from her sleeve and handed it to Gao Wen.  Gawain's expression changed continuously, he took the document, opened it and read it.  Gawain's eyes were widened as he stared at him, and after watching, his whole body burst out with anger, and he shouted angrily.

    "How dare Cai Degui insult the late lord like this!!! Therefore, the lord has a spirit and must punish the traitor!!!"

    The Kuai brothers are the leading civil servants in Jingzhou, and their handwriting is unique and no one can imitate it.  Gawain saw that the letter was indeed written by the Kuai brothers, and immediately believed what Mi Fang said.

    Previously, Wang Can died tragically at the hands of Cai Mao, and Gao Wen already had the intention to resist Cai. Now that he learned of Cai Mao's evil deeds, Gao Wen became even more determined to oppose Cai.  Gawain's expression condensed, and he immediately bowed his hands and bowed.

    "Sir, when you come this time, Uncle Liu Huang must have delivered something. Although Gao is not talented, he also knows the word loyalty! As long as he can overthrow the evil power of the Cai family, Gao is willing to go through fire and water, and he will do whatever it takes!!!"

    When Mi Fang saw that Gao Wen was indeed willing to help him as Zhuge Liang said, he was overjoyed and bowed to Gao Wen.

    "It is really a blessing for the people of Jingzhou that Magistrate Gao is so righteous! My military advisor has a clever plan for a long time. As long as Magistrate Gao is willing to listen and act, great things will happen!"

    "Mr. Wolong already has a plan? Gao Mou once heard that the reason why Uncle Liu Huang was able to defeat Cao Cao's general Cao Zixiao's 50,000-strong army was all based on Mr. Wolong's advice. Although Wolong was not honored today, his plan was planned early, and Mr. Wolong did not expect it.  The prophet is really a genius in this world!

    However, Gao heard that Cai Degui had recruited 80,000 troops in Jingzhou and would soon send troops to kill Xinye.  Xinye is in danger, how can Mr. Wolong have time to take care of things here?  "

    Gawain was shocked at first, and then frowned, with worry in his eyes.  Mi Fang smiled brightly upon hearing this and said softly.

    "Magistrate Gao, don't worry too much. Our military advisor is talented in the world and knows the tricks of the devil. Although Cai Degui has a strong army and strong horse, in the eyes of our military advisor, he is like a chicken with tiles and a dog's ears. A good strategy for defeating the enemy has been decided in advance, and he can defeat the enemy just by talking and laughing."  He was defeated and left."

    Gao Wen was surprised when he heard this, but he saw that Mi Fang was confident, as if she was telling the truth.  Gawain pondered for a while, calmed down the fear in his heart, and then asked again in a condensed voice.

    ¡°Then I wonder what Mr. Wolong¡¯s clever plan is!?¡±

    Mi Fang whispered so and so in Gawain's ear. Gawain lost his composure again and again, and exclaimed in his heart that the plan was wonderful.

    After a while, Gawain asked again with a bit of ecstasy.

    "Mr. Wolong's plan is really wonderful. But if you want to be foolproof, you still need a strong general to lead the army!"

    "Haha. What Magistrate Gao said is very true. My military advisor has been prepared for it for a long time. I wonder if Magistrate Gao has heard of the name of Zhang Yide, the emperor's sworn brother?"

    "Zhang Yide!? If this person can lead the army, great things will happen!"

    Gawain was immediately determined, and after discussing the details of the plan with Mi Fang for a while, he was ready to act according to the plan.

    In Xiangyang County, the soldiers and horses guarding each county were all Liu Biao's former confidants.  In Gucheng, although the army in the city was divided by the Cai clan, military power was divided.  However, most of the soldiers in the army complained about Cai.

    One day, Gawain gathered dozens of loyal and righteous generals in the city under one roof and accused Cai Mao of his evil deeds.  These generals were very angry. At this moment, two people suddenly walked out of the back hall.  One person has a leopard head and eyes, a burly body, and is full of ferocious aura, while the other person is courteous and has a pleasant smile.

    Gowen then introduced the two men to the generals. When their names were announced, all the generals were shocked.  These two people have great backgrounds. One is Mi Fang, a counselor under the unparalleled benevolence and righteousness of Uncle Liu Huang, and the other is his sworn brother, Zhang Yide!

    The night passed.  At three o'clock the next night, there was a sudden riot in Gucheng. Zhang Fei led the generals to kill all the Cai family members.  When the soldiers in the city heard about Zhang Fei's identity and learned about Cai Mao's evil deeds from Gao Wen, they were all willing to follow Zhang Fei in the uprising.

    Here, Zhang Fei relied only on Liu Bei's reputation for benevolence and righteousness, and easily captured Gucheng, and won the surrender of three thousand soldiers in the city.  For more than ten days, Gao Wen and Mi Fang traveled around the surrounding cities and counties to persuade the county magistrates and nearly 5,000 soldiers from the two counties to come.

     At the same time, Mi Fang united with Yi Ji in Xiangyang City to respond internally.  Yi Ji had long wanted to surrender to Liu Bei, but when he heard about Cai Mao's violent behavior, he immediately helped Liu Bei in Xiangyang's plan without hesitation.

    There are about 20,000 soldiers and horses guarding Xiangyang City.  Among them, the distribution of troops included more than 10,000 soldiers who were loyal to Cai, and the rest were soldiers loyal to Liu Biao.  Yi Ji secretly united with the generals who were loyal to the Liu family and gave the order.

    One night, the general guarding Xiangyang City was a member of the Cai clan named Cai Long.  The deputy general is his younger brother, named Cai Hu.  Both of them were born with great strength and strong martial arts skills.  Cai Long is careless and careful, while Cai Hu is bold and courageous. The two brothers guard the important place of Xiangyang, and Cai Mao is also at ease.

    At present, Cai Long secretly noticed that there were many changes in Xiangyang City, and the military's morale was uncertain.  That night, Cai Long gathered Cai's generals in the city to discuss privately.
