Chapter 980 The truth of Liu Biao's death is revealed

Before Zhang Liao could take action against Xiahou Yuan and Zhang Fei, news of Liu Biao's murder came out in Jingzhou.

After receiving the secret report from Jiang Xu, Zhao Xing was not very surprised. He said to Li Jinsi and others around him indifferently: "Someone wants to put shit on my head, but it's a pity that it's a little late, so it's okay for the overall situation!"

Li Jinsi was very concerned about this matter. He said angrily: "Hmph! Last time someone sent Wang Yue, Shi A and a group of assassins to Luoyang, and this time someone sent killers to Jingzhou. There are only a few who can do such despicable things! I will immediately mobilize people to Xiangyang to thoroughly investigate the matter and make some people's ugly faces clear to the world!"

Zhao Zhenbang, who has been staying with him now, said: "Cousin, I'm afraid it's too late for you to arrange people to go to Xiangyang now. Those who secretly attack Liu Biao must be closely following the trends in Xiangyang. Even if Lu Meng and Jiang Xu in Xiangyang control the situation, this kind of news will spread sooner or later."

Li Jinsi said unwillingly: "Then what should you do? Do nothing? Let the guys behind the scenes be free and easy?"

Zhao Zhenbang said with a weird smile: "Does this kind of thing still need to be investigated? We didn't ask someone to do it. Yuan Shu is dead. The Sun family of Eastern Wu dare not do it. Isn't the rest Cao Cao and Liu Bei? We just need to use the powerful newspaper system to promote it. Do you really tell evidence to Cao Cao and Liu Bei?"

After hearing what his son said, Zhao Xing laughed, feeling that Zhao Zhenbang had indeed mastered the essence of public opinion propaganda. In many cases, there is really no need to find any evidence. Such quarrels have always been a different argument. Whoever has a "voice" is the most popular, and there are more people in the world who are willing to believe it.

Zhao Xing said to Li Jinsi: "We must investigate thoroughly and give Liu Qi and the soldiers of Jingzhou a convincing explanation, but now we must take the initiative to reveal the news of Liu Biao's accident."

With Zhao Xing's clear instructions, Li Jinsi immediately replied to Xiangyang and made specific arrangements for the subsequent series of work.

When he received a reply from Luoyang, Lu Meng had already sent Wen Pin and Liu Qi away, and persuaded Li Yan to completely control Xiangyang. During this period, Jiang Xu, who went to the site of Liu Biao's accident in Fenghuang Mountain to investigate, had collected some clues. Su Fei and Wubai Iron Guards, who were responsible for blocking Fenghuang Mountain, also dug out the bodies of Liu Biao and Liu Pan from the rocks in the valley.

Lu Meng agreed with Zhao Xing's instructions very much, and felt that at this time, there was no need for mother-in-law and mother. Even if Liu Qi still doubted it, even if the people in Jingzhou were discussing, it was just a group of crows. Lu Meng immediately sent a letter to Liu Qi and Wenpin, informing the two of them of the real situation of Liu Biao's murder in Fenghuang Mountain, and explaining why he tricked them out of Xiangyang.

Lu Meng said sincerely in the letter, and specifically pointed out that if Liu Qi and Wen Pin stayed in Xiangyang, it might have an adverse impact on themselves and their soldiers. According to Lu Meng's analysis, the worst case is that Liu Qi was in Xiangyang with the support of generals such as Wen Pin and took the banner of attacking Zhao Xing, but this is exactly the ending that some people want to see. If Liu Qi was furious and killed Lu Meng, Jiang Xu and others, then the Jin State and Jingzhou would be completely deadly. With Xiangyang's strength, wouldn't he be crushed by the Jin State army in the future?

Lu Meng also told Liu Qi and Wen Pin that if Jin State assassinated Liu Biao just to seek Xiangyang, how could he let the two leave Xiangyang safely with 50,000 troops? Conspiracy to assassinate once and twice is also done. Jin State has the ability to assassinate Liu Qi and Wen Pin, who are kept in the dark, are killed in the city.

Liu Qi, who received the news of his father's murder, was naturally heartbroken, but he was a hesitant person, so he called Wen Pin, the only credible one now, and discussed what to do next. Wen Pin's political experience is obviously much richer than Liu Qi. He persuaded Liu Qi: "Young Master, it's over here. No matter who the lord is assassinated, we must find a place to settle down quickly!"

Liu Qi asked with red eyes: "Why don't you avenge your father first?"

Wen Pin patiently explained: "Lu Ziming said in the letter that his lord's body has been properly stored, and there are many soldiers guarding the scene of the accident site. It will take not long to find enough evidence. Now we cannot do anything randomly. It is better to wipe out the Huang Zu of Jiangxia according to the original plan! If the murderer of the lord is indeed Cao and Liu, then we occupy Jiangxia and can add a bargaining chip to the future of Jin; if the person who assassinated the lord is Zhao Xing, then we open up the road from Jiangxia to Yangzhou and can apply to Han Rong in Yangzhou!"

Liu Qi was completely moved by Wen Pin, so with a feeling of sorrow and anger, he led 50,000 Jingzhou soldiers to attack Jiangxia. It took less than half a month to defeat Huang Zu and almost killed the "Erwuzi" who was begging for honor.

The reason why Huang Zu was defeated by Liu Qi so quickly is thankful to Lu Meng. In order to support Wen Pin and to prove the openness and generosity of Jin State, Lu Meng provided Wen Pin with very detailed Jiangxia military intelligence and accurate combat maps, and also supported a batch of very powerful gunpowder.

The batch of gunpowder that Lu Meng gave Wenpeng was to prove that if it was done by someone from Jin State, then from the analysis of the explosion traces left on Phoenix Mountain, it would be enough to bury Liu Biao ten times, not just once! In other words, the gunpowder that exploded on Phoenix Mountain was not produced by Jin State.

Of course, the auxiliary effect of giving Wenpin a batch of gunpowder was to easily explode the Xiling city wall and almost kill Huang Zu on the spot. It was also Huang Zu, a guy who was a man who was very lucky. At that time, he was about to go to the city to supervise the battle, but he received urgent reports from Xuchang, so he quickly took thousands of soldiers in the city and carried a large amount of food and grass, and fled to the downstream Yangzhou by boat.

Liu Qi, who occupied Jiangxia, soon met the envoy sent by Liu Bei. The envoy brought Liu Bei's comfort and kindness, hoping that Liu Qi's "nephew" could see the "scandal" nature of Zhao Guochang, and quickly abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and turn to the court, otherwise he would end up with the same fate as Liu Biao in the future.

Wen Pin, who was watching coldly, had already fully understood who was the real mastermind who murdered Liu Biao. He secretly sighed in his heart that Lu Meng was indeed powerful, and he actually calculated everything behind him a month ago.

The letter Lu Meng gave to Wenpin and the letter to Liu Qi actually have many differences in content. One of them mentioned that you might as well wait and see. Once Liu Qi gained his foothold in Jiangxia, the first person to win over was the murderer who murdered Liu Biao!

There is a very simple truth: whoever benefits will be the most suspicious!
