Three Kingdoms

In fact, many people are aware of the dynamics in Jingzhou, but this kind of local battle between the "Tu emperor" and the "Tu foreign relatives" is like one of the few melon-eating dramas in the Han Dynasty. It cannot be seen all the time. , naturally received a "warm welcome" from ordinary nobles.

Perhaps this habit was retained in later generations and became the root of theater viewing.

Liu Biao slapped Cai's Cai Island. Although it was knocked down, it actually only knocked down Cai's face and did not cause any substantial harm to Cai.

With Gan Ning returning to the army and Cai Mao missing, the various gentry in Xiangyang, Jingzhou, began the second round of eating melons.

Although Liu Biao still has some spirit of enduring hardship, for Liu Cong, this naughty boy is not a person who can endure hardship. He stayed up all night with Liu Biao and reached his limit, even in the lobby. He kept nodding his head with a unique rhythm.

It's like a student who has been cultivating for half a night and then has to get up early to go to class, and then listens to the teacher's slow and monotonous voice...

All the impassionedness, all the ambitions, all the hard work, but in front of the Sandman, he was just a younger brother and not worth mentioning.

After all, in Liu Cong's original living habits, he ate when he was hungry and slept when he was tired. He never suffered any hardship at all. Even when he was sleeping, there were maids around outside, dozing off while half-reclining and half-sitting. Waiting for a sudden call from inside, he would rush in to serve him. Even if Liu Cong coughed in the middle of the night, he would immediately come forward to ask for help. How could Liu Cong, who grew up in such an environment, have a strong will?

In the end, Liu Biao couldn't stand it any longer. He waved his hand and asked someone to take Liu Cong down to rest.

Without saying anything, Liu Cong kowtowed to Liu Biao and then walked away.

Liu Biao looked at Liu Cong's back and didn't know whether he should cry, laugh, or laugh at the same time. Do you think Liu Cong is not good? Ye is obedient, he is obedient when he is scolded, he listens with aggrieved face, he neither refutes nor talks back, has he finished listening, he does not hold grudges even if he says something harsh, he just puts down his paws and forgets.

This kind of character is naturally good for ordinary people, but if it is an heir...

Why.

Liu Cong went down to rest, which seemed to take away Liu Biao's energy, making Liu Biao feel waves of exhaustion surging from deep inside his heart. Originally dragging his ailing body was to pave a wider road for Liu Cong, but seeing Liu Cong's seemingly indifferent attitude, Liu Biao's original passion was inevitably drained a lot.

Just when Liu Biao was a little sleepy and couldn't hold his tired eyelids, he suddenly heard the sound of rapid footsteps coming in from the outside, and he suddenly sat upright again.

Although this war was started by Liu Biao for the sake of Liu Cong's future, in front of outsiders, Liu Biao was still the leader. If Liu Biao himself was sleepy and didn't care about everything, how could he really let the following people do it? Everyone is trying their best?

The soldiers who came to report the news were covered in mud and handed over urgent military information.

When Liu Biao looked at it, his hands couldn't help but tremble. Fortunately, the powder on his face was thick enough, so others couldn't notice the change in Liu Biao's expression. "I know...just step back..."

Jiangling fell!

Zhang Yun led the remaining troops to break through and temporarily stationed in Maicheng. Well, that's Maicheng.

Zhang Yun is Liu Biao's nephew, and his mother, Liu, is Liu Biao's sister. So from this perspective, Zhang Yun is Liu Biao's special assistant to Liu Cong. It is precisely because of this that Liu Biao will send Zhang Yun to Liu Cong. Arrive at Jiangling.

But the problem is, when Zhou Yu's army invaded before, Jiangling was still able to hold on, but this time it was just the Yunmeng thief, so why did it fall?

Liu Biao was not completely ignorant of military affairs, but Liu Biao's knowledge of military affairs basically stayed in writing. Even when Sun Jian attacked Jingzhou, Liu Biao actually commanded from behind and did not go into battle himself, so his judgment on Jiangling appeared. Deviation is a very natural thing.

Jiangling City was originally a fortified city, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Yun Mengze's thieves are naturally not as good as Zhou Yu and other Jiangdong soldiers, and there is nothing wrong with that.

The only mistake was that Liu Biao did not consider that Jiangling City had been severely attacked by Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu and others, and had not been repaired at all. Even the moat outside the city had not been completely dredged. Under such circumstances, Jiangling City's The city defense system is not even as good as an ordinary county seat...

In any case, the fall of Jiangling City immediately disrupted Liu Biao's original plan, forcing Liu Biao to face an even more difficult situation.

For example, Quin.

Normally, when dealing with the Cai family, the Kuai family would basically stand beside Liu Biao immediately. Even if they would not hit the drowned dog with a stick, they would secretly help Liu Biao throw a stone or something, but since the Kuai Qi incident , there is obviously a small rift between Kuai and Liu.

Of course, it is impossible for Kuai to say anything for Cai. Even Kuai is happy to accept some of the territory that belongs to Cai after Cai's downfall, such as those well-located stores on Qiantou Street...

Then the news of Jiangling's fall suddenly shattered Kuai's dream. In the land of Jingzhou, snakes follow their own paths, and rats follow their own paths. Liu Biao received the military intelligence report, and Kuai received the news not too late.

Kuai Liang naturally knew that there were some problems with Jiangling's defense system, but he believed that even so, Jiangling City should be able to defend it. They were just Yunmeng bandits. How could they capture Jiangling?

Then what happened next gave Kuai a resounding slap in the face...

The beating made Kuai's face hurt, and he was frightened and restless. You must know that Kuai's base is in Jiangling, and there are many stores in Jiangling that belong to Kuai's and have good locations!

Ever since, Kuai Liang couldn't sit still, changed his clothes in a hurry, and went straight to Liu Biao's lobby. Damn it, Old Liu, you just messed with the Cai family, but now it has affected my Kuai family's pocket, you have to give me an explanation no matter what!

The soldiers on duty outside obviously didn't know exactly what happened. Seeing that Kuai Liang, who was usually cautious and calm, now seemed to be in a hurry, they couldn't help but murmur in their hearts.

Of course, this is not difficult to understand. After all, he usually burns other people's eyebrows. Kuai Liang is naturally not in a hurry. Now that the burning has reached his own eyebrows, he may also burn off his armpit hair, or hair in other places, or his skin and flesh. There is no insurance, so how can we not be in a hurry?

The steward who went in to report came back and laughed with him: "Ah, this... the master is unwell and resting... no visitors for the time being... this... haha..."

Kuai Liang naturally refused, so he discussed with the steward that he must see Liu Biao. The manager didn't care whether Kuai Liang was in a hurry or not. Anyway, he just knew that since Liu Biao had given the order, he would be in trouble if he let Kuai Liang in, so he just laughed along and shook his head.

The two of them chatted there for a long time. Kuai's conscience suddenly changed and he simply shouted at the top of his voice: "Your Majesty!" I'm asking for a meeting! Jiangling has fallen and Jingzhou is in danger! 』

Kuai Liang's voice really made everyone look at him, and the steward was so anxious that he tugged at Kuai Liang's sleeves, hoping to tell Kuai Liang to shut up. However, Kuai Liang refused to stop, and kept shouting with his neck straight.

Not long after, an attendant rushed out from inside, slightly angry and said, "You have a request!" 』

The steward made a sad face and stopped talking, but Kuai Liang ignored him and just strode towards the lobby where Liu Biao was. Kuai Liang asked Liu Biao to send troops to rescue Jiangling, but Kuai Liang also knew that this matter would not be easy, because now Gan Ning and Wenpin are the left and right arms used by Liu Biao to support his authority. If he sends troops out, it will be equivalent to missing one hand. Compete with others.

However, what does this kind of thing have to do with Kuai?

Whether the Liu family can defend Jingzhou or not, what does it have to do with the Kuai family? Even if Fei Qian or Cao Cao later took over Jingzhou, wouldn't Kuai be able to serve as an official under him? Officials are big and small, but if you destroy Jiangling, you will break the foundation of your own family!

Kuai absolutely cannot accept such a thing!

The Kuai Qi incident has not been brought to settle accounts with Liu Biao before, and today is the time to settle the accounts!

Liu Biao sat in the hall with cold eyes.

Kuai Liang bowed his hands in the hall. Although he lowered his head, his expression was firm.

Then, the two people's eyes collided, and sparks flew...

……（ # ーー）*（ーー # ）……

On the north bank of the Han River, large groups of Jiangdong soldiers were disembarking from warships and forming formations.

Sun Quan clearly saw the advantage right in front of him, how could he hold back?

It's like pursuing a goddess before, but all the hard work failed, and there was no house, car, or money to negotiate, but later I found out that an acquaintance introduced me to a thousand at a time, so either I just cursed and started the group chat, or I knew it would have been easier this way?

Obviously, this time, Sun Quan doesn't dislike Jiangling's dilapidation. Anyway, if he can get up, he will do it!

The vanguard, Zhou Tai, had experienced a great battle to some extent and was not lacking in battle experience. Although Zhang Yun, the Jingzhou soldier, was defeated, Zhou Tai did not immediately lead a few men to attack hurriedly, but waited until the follow-up troops followed up. , ready to decide Jiangling in one fell swoop.

Zhou Taili stood on the river bank, and his bodyguards were constantly running back and forth, either reporting information or delivering orders. The Jiangdong soldiers gradually lined up and began to carry various supplies from the ship.

The Jiangdong nobles have compromised, but the extent of this compromise... I don't know yet.

Jiangdong scouts have been dispatched to closely monitor Jiangling's movements. Of course, Zhou Tai doesn't care much even if he is discovered by Jiangling. What he cares about is Xiangyang. After all, if Xiangyang sends troops to rescue Jiangling, a chaotic battle will inevitably happen, so it is still necessary to seize the time. After suppressing Jiangling with powerful troops, even if Xiangyang sends troops again, it will be useless.

Unlike the Yunmengze thieves, Zhou Tai and the following Jiangdong soldiers wanted more than just a city, but to fully occupy the entire Jiangling area. Therefore, even though Zhou Tai looked solemn now, he was actually feeling a little surging in his heart.

The goddess has already lifted up her skirt and is now only one transfer away!

Back in Hefei, Zhou Tai's sneak attack failed and he was seriously injured. If he hadn't been so strong in water, he might not have been able to escape. Of course, this matter also made Zhou Tai very depressed for a long time, because when Jiangdong's veterans met Zhou Tai, they all praised Zhou Tai's watery skills with a smile...

Of course Zhou Tai knew what it meant. It's like praising a person's "inner beauty" or "temperament" with a smile.

Damn, you are good at water. Damn, your whole family is good at water!

Zhou Tai clapped his hands and said to the surrounding guards: "Listen up, this time, the great achievement is right in front of you!" In Jiangling City, thieves are scattered and looting, it is the best time to attack! Let me talk about it first, don’t worry about your head and money when the time comes, Xiangyang reinforcements may come at any time, so don’t fucking run around! Taking Jiangling is nothing, holding it is a complete victory! The reward will be yours when the time comes! Do you understand everything? ! 』

The surrounding soldiers naturally responded in unison.

Zhou Tai choked and pulled out the sword from his waist, pointing straight to the north: "Follow me!" Complete victory over Gangneung! 』

The personal guards around Zhou Tai also responded, and many of them were already excited. Zhou Tai's intention is very obvious. He wants to use this Jiangling victory and the heads of these Yunmengze thieves to gain merit and at the same time wash away the shame of the past in Hefei!

Zhou Tai was laughed at by those Jiangdong veterans, and the personal guards around Zhou Tai naturally had a shameful face. If he could really defeat Jiangling this time, then he would at least be able to hold his chest high and raise his head to fight back those rumors!

As for failure?

How could it fail? How could it fail?

Hefei was because the opponent was Cao Jun, but now the opponent is just Yun Mengze's thieves. How could it be the same?

At the beginning, these people in Yunmengze were indeed different from Cao Jun who was in Hefei at that time.

These Yunmengze thieves who had conquered Jiangling were happily gathering in small groups, plundering and plundering everywhere. Each of them was wrapped in furskins and carrying a large amount of property. For these people, this war has already begun in their hearts. It was a victory. Now they could eat, drink and celebrate without any thought of being attacked by Jiangdong soldiers.

These stragglers outside Jiangling basically have no ability to resist, just like how these Yunmengze thieves really massacred the people of Jiangling, but this time these Yunmengze thieves became the targets of massacre. .

But when they arrived at Jiangling City, the situation suddenly changed.

Just when Jiang Dongbing was about to rush into Jiangling City, a group of soldiers suddenly came out. Although the number was not very large, their combat power was several times that of the Yunmengze thieves before. Jiang Dongbing was immediately stuck in Jiangling. At the city gate, both sides were shouting, gnashing their teeth and cursing, and they were fighting for a while.

"Huh? Are there such brave men among thieves? 』

Zhou Tai muttered in confusion. Of course, Zhou Tai did not think about this problem for a long time. He immediately pulled out his sword and cut a gap in the chaotic crowd. The tiger roared repeatedly. Anyone who blocked Zhou Tai's front would be cut down in three or two strokes. On the ground, muscles and bones were broken, and blood and flesh were scattered everywhere.

"happy! happy! 』

Zhou Tai yelled and chopped harder and harder. The soldiers in Jiangdong also started making noise together, and their momentum was impressive.

Lei Bo, who hurried over, gritted his teeth, the hatred spurting out of his eyes as if it were real, and wanted to poke dozens of holes in Zhou Tai and the surrounding Jiangdong soldiers!

Lei Bo pretended to be a traitor this time and captured Jiangling. Everyone thought it was over. The people in Jingzhou were already helpless and frightened. Even if Xiangyang came to rescue troops, they had to prepare and assemble. It would happen in three to five days, but I didn't expect to be caught off guard by Jiang Dongbing!

Lei Bo shouted loudly, urging his troops to join the battle group with red eyes, and stopped Zhou Tai head on. The two of them fought with gnashing teeth.

No matter what, this small group of Jiangdong soldiers must be slaughtered completely! These Jiangdong soldiers must not be allowed to attack the city! Although Jiangling's city defenses are already much damaged, and the soil slopes that rushed up to the city wall that day have not been completely cleared, at least it cannot be said that it was so easy for Jiang Dongbing to enter the city directly along the city gate!

The soldiers on both sides at the city gate are becoming more and more dense. People in the outer circle cannot join the battle group at all. They can only shout in vain. There are benefits to being on the front line and personally fighting the generals in front, whether it is to encourage their own soldiers on the front line. , or it plays a very important role in suppressing the opponent's soldiers, but it also has a disadvantage, that is, once its attention is completely absorbed in the fight, it is likely to lose control of the overall situation...

The current situation was like this. Zhou Tai thought he could rush in at once, but Lei Bo desperately wanted to block Zhou Tai. The two fought in a ball near Jiangling City Gate. As a result, neither side could form a crushing pattern. , so it entered a stalemate, and no one had time to direct his men.

Then something interesting happened...

What determines the outcome of Zhou Tai or Lei Bo is not the martial arts of the two of them, nor the fight between them, but the other soldiers. Jiangdong soldiers are much better than Yun Mengze's thieves in terms of training and organization. After being crowded at the city gate and unable to get in, Jiangdong soldiers quickly found their way to the army under the guidance of military commander Qu Chang and other low-level non-commissioned officers. Under the leadership, they looked for another breakthrough and then rushed into Jiangling City.

As for the mob in Yunmengze, after seeing Jiangdong soldiers entering the city and seeing Lei Bo's lack of skills, they didn't issue any instructions. After rolling their eyes for a few times, the dual characteristics of oiling the soles of their feet and leaving without saying goodbye began. It worked. After all, most of the rangers without this double special effect were exterminated under previous arrests by the government.

If Jiangling is not Jiangling, what does it have to do with me? I just want the money in my hands to be soft! The bloody courage that broke out in the siege battle because there was nothing was quickly consumed by the money. As for the big boss and the righteousness, does it have anything to do with a five-baht piece of money?

The wind is tight, pull!

When more and more Jiangdong soldiers struggled to crawl into the Jiangling city wall from the dirt slope, they saw the Yunmengze thieves who were originally in the city opening the rest of the city gates with a clang, like a nest. Seeing the light, they burst out like cockroaches...

Jiang Dongbing, who was on the city wall, couldn't help but look a little dazed when he saw this, looking at each other, this... where am I? What should I do? If I had known these guys would open the door, why would I be crawling all over the mud?

When Lei Bo saw this, he roared angrily, but no one listened to his orders now. Even some of the soldiers around him began to run away secretly, while Zhou Tai on the other side pressed forward step by step. Frustrated, when he was about to escape, he found that his way back was blocked by Jiangdong soldiers who had come around!

Shocked, his hands and feet immediately slowed down, and then Zhou Tai, who had seized the opportunity, moved forward and broke through Lei Bo's defensive circle with several consecutive knives, and then licked Lei Bo's thigh with the knife!

Under the severe pain, Lei Bo lost his center of gravity and could no longer defend himself. He was shot into the lower back by a Jiangdong soldier who rushed over!

Lei Bo howled, and slashed the Jiangdong soldier who was attacking with his backhand, and then he saw Zhou Tai coming towards him with a fierce smile and waving a bloody sword!

Everything seemed to become lighter, everything began to rotate and fly...
