    Jingzhou Governor's Office, meeting hall.

    Liu Qi sat dejectedly in the position of the governor of Jingzhou. He had longed for this position for too many years, but he did not expect that when it was his turn to take control of Jingzhou and become the lord of Jingzhou, this position would make him feel on pins and needles.  .

    The defeat report that came six days ago was still on the table in front of him: Jin Xuan, the prefect of Wuling, insisted on refusing to surrender. After ten days of stalemate with Sun Ce at the city gate, Sun Ce's Wind Fire Cavalry broke through the formation. Sun Ce's general Zhao Zilong's formation killed the gold.  Spin and capture Wuling.  After Wuling was lost, Sun Ce continued to march north with his troops. Wherever the army went, every state and county watched the wind and fell, and the common people all greeted them with cups of food and drink.  At the same time, Zhou Yu, who was stationed in Xiangyang, also sent his army south. The two Jiangdong armies met at the foot of Jiangling City three days ago. Now they have surrounded Jiangling. It can be said that it is only a matter of time before the city is broken.

    At this time, the meeting hall of Jingzhou Governor's Mansion was no longer what it used to be, and it was a deserted and desolate scene.  Liu Qi knew very well that his handwriting was of no use now.  Since being besieged by Jiangdong's army, the number of officials in Jiangling City who come to the meeting hall has dropped sharply. Every day, officials abandon their posts and climb over the city wall to surrender to Sun Ce.  Until today, when Liu Qi convened all the civil servants and generals to discuss matters, not even a single person showed up.  Liu Qi looked at the empty hall and felt for a moment that this must be a nightmare and he would wake up after a while.

    "It's a pity that reality always disappoints people. Not only will this nightmare never wake up, it will continue.  With trembling hands, Liu Qi took out the three most cherished wine vessels, then took a small cup on the table and scooped out the wine that he had treasured for a long time - he originally planned to keep these wines.  Used to celebrate victory after defeating Sun Ce.  He drank wine and looked up at the roof, falling into a long silence.

    There were waves of shouts from the Jiangdong Army outside. Over the past few days, Liu Qi had become numb to these sounds.  He just felt so tired that he didn't want to move.  Jiangling is over, Jingzhou is over. Those subordinates who were loyal to their father are now either martyred for the country or have become traitors and rebels.  Liu Qi couldn't understand. He couldn't figure out what he had done wrong.  He was originally a very cowardly person and had always lived under the protection of his father. But when Liu Biao fell ill and was in bed, and he took power, Liu Qi truly realized that the world is unkind and there is no room for cowardly people in this troubled world. If he wants to survive,  If you go on, you must be ruthless enough. If you don't kill someone, others will kill you. Instead of just sitting back and waiting for death, it is better to strike first. That's why he will kill political opponents and dissidents who threaten his status.  But the more he kills, the greater the fear in his heart. In order to fill this fear, he can't stop and can only continue to kill.

    "Father, I am still a coward after all." Liu Qi's tears flowed down silently.  He raised his head and drank all the wine in the glass, smashed all the wine vessels in front of him, gritted his teeth and said, "But before I die, I want to do something truly brave!"

    On the sixth day of September in the first year of Jian'an, after more than a year of attacks, Sun Ce finally brought the entire territory of Jingzhou into his territory.  The wind that day blew the red tiger flag, Jiangling city gates were wide open, and Sun Ce entered the city on horseback, escorted by his noble generals.  As he passed the city gate, someone jumped down from the city gate and smashed his head in front of his horse.

    "Liu Qi!?" Although their brains were bleeding from the fall, the surrendered Jingzhou sergeants still barely recognized their old master. They knelt down in front of Sun Ce's horse and kowtowed: "My Lord, it's the traitor Liu Qi! Liu Qi  Committing suicide out of fear of crime is really too easy for this bastard. I ask my lord to hang his body on the top of the city to show the public as a warning to others!"

    Sun Ce frowned. To be honest, the officials, big and small, who escaped from Jiangling in the past few days were either rotten scholars who could only talk nonsense, or incompetent people who were useless.  The only veteran general Sun Ce admired, Wang Wei, also spilled his blood on the Jingzhou military flag when the city gate was opened.  Sun Ce looked at the sycophants kneeling in front of the horse and said displeasedly: "It is not a glorious thing to use a corpse as a sign of victory. It is better to bury him properly with the courtesy of the governor."

    "My lord is kind-hearted and virtuous, regardless of past grievances. He is truly a role model for me. I sincerely admire you." All the officials in Jingzhou knelt down again, with tears streaming down their faces.  Sun Ce's expression became even worse. He kicked the horse from his crotch and galloped forward with his spear in hand. Zhou Yu, Gan Ning and others ignored the Jingzhou sergeant who was kneeling on the ground and followed him with their horses.

    Sun Ce finally reined in his horse in front of a new tomb. The handwriting on the tombstone in front of the tomb was still fresh, and it was clearly engraved with the words "The tomb of Han Zhennan General Jingzhou Governor Cheng Wuhou Liu Biao Jingsheng".  Sun Ce jumped off his horse and paced back and forth in front of the tomb without saying a word, with his hands behind his back.

    Zhou Yu said loudly: "Brother, why not open Liu Biao's coffin and kill his body to repay the old master?"?Revenge of suffering!  "

    "Yes, what the Governor said makes sense!" "Open the coffin of the old thief Liu Biao and whip his corpse!" "Let the old thief Liu Biao have no peace even after he dies!" A group of Sun Jian's old men also agreed.

    Sun Ce turned his head and stared into Zhou Yu's eyes, and said with some surprise: "When I came here, the famous ministers and sages in Jingzhou all said that Gong Jin, you are elegant and open-minded. How could you say such a thing as opening a coffin and killing corpses?  It seems that you are no longer elegant and open-minded?"

    Zhou Yu choked at Sun Ce's words, and said with a sullen expression, "Brother, what I'm talking about is a serious matter, don't make fun of me."

    Sun Ce spread his hands and said, "Isn't what I'm talking about a serious matter? It was my father who died under Xiangyang City back then."

    "Then according to my brother's wishes, how should I avenge this murder of my father?" Zhou Yu asked.

    "Life and death are the most important things in all things. Although Liu Jingsheng and I have a grudge against him for killing his father and cutting off the river, when he was in power in Jingzhou, he loved the people like a son and made many achievements. If I open his coffin and kill his body, wouldn't it be cold?"  The hearts of the scholars and people in Jingzhou." Sun Ce looked up at the sky and sighed, "But the hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable. If this hatred is not avenged, how will I dominate the world in the future?"

    "Ziyi!" Sun Ce shouted behind him, "Lend me your bow and arrows!"

    Taishi Ci bowed in agreement, took off the strong bow and quiver hanging from both sides of the horse, and handed them to Sun Ce's hands.

    Sun Ce carefully picked out three good arrows from his quiver, inserted them into the ground in front of him, then hooked the long bow string, and exclaimed: "It is indeed a good bow!"

    Sun Ce pulled up the arrow from the ground, slowly stretched his bow and nocked the arrow, shot it out, pulled out the arrow again, and shot it out again, three times.

    Sun Ce threw the long bow back to Tai Shici, climbed on the horse with an expressionless face, and said calmly and forcefully: "Today I returned Liu Biao's three arrows, which can be regarded as avenging my father's revenge. From now on, the enmity between me and Jingzhou will be  Write it off with one stroke!" After saying that, Sun Ce raised his spear and left slowly with his horse.

    In the silence, all the generals also took their horses and left. The three feather arrows shot by Sun Ce were quietly inserted on Liu Biao's tombstone.
