In the blink of an eye, a few days later,

At this time, outside the city of Xiangyang, Zhang Xiujun's army began to besiege the city.

Looking at the mighty, dense but rigorously laid out Zhang Xiujun, the defenders in Xiangyang City were all hanging in their hearts, a little panicked.

Liu Biao gritted his teeth and secretly hated.

In just a few days, most of his gray hair turned white.

Under the city, in front of the army.

Zhang Xiu led the generals to pull their horses out, and when they arrived at the land of a stone's throw, Zhang Xiu stood on horseback, looked at Liu Biao from afar, and shouted: "Brother Jingsheng, don't come to harm, I don't know how Brother Jingsheng and his sister-in-law are doing recently?" ”

"Hmph, Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu, how can there be such a treacherous villain as you in this world? I thought that you went away to Nanyang, so I entrusted Nanyang to you, but I never thought that you were such a reluctant person. ”

Liu Biao didn't think much about it, and shouted with hatred on his face.

"Hehe, Brother Jingsheng has said it, right?"

"No matter how high-sounding you say, you can't change your words and deeds as a well-dressed beast, as a pillar of the Han Dynasty, you sit back and watch the Han Dynasty be endangered."

"When today's son is in trouble and falls into the hands of traitorous ministers, I lead the army to fight, but instead of supporting it, you secretly stationed troops and Fancheng, wanting to capture Xinye."

"How can you be worthy of your surname Liu with such words and deeds? How dare you call yourself benevolent? If I were you, I would commit suicide in shame, and I would never have the face to say anything in front of the heroes of the world. ”

Zhang Xiu's voice was sonorous and powerful, and it came far away.

Listening to Zhang Xiu's words, Xu Shu and the others were secretly speechless, their lord really knew how to pull calves, and the key thing was that people couldn't find fault with it.

"You, you, you," Liu Biao's chest rose and fell.

Baihua's beard trembled, and there was a faint feeling of being out of breath.

"As a Han Chen, as the current emperor's uncle, you don't want to serve the country loyally and save the Son of Heaven and water and fire, but you want to attack the hinterland of the vassals, and it won't make people laugh when you spread it?"

"And although I was born humble, I still know the truth of the food king's Lu for the army, don't you know how to call? Or do you have no Han Dynasty in your heart, and you just want to divide one side? ”

Zhang Xiu sneered and drank.

"Hmph, you don't want to be clever like a spring, the Son of Heaven built the capital Xuchang, and he should be called a minister, what's wrong?" Liu Biao was angry and shouted.

"Hehe, a good sentence to call the minister Nagong, the situation of the Son of Heaven is not mentioned for the time being, you recognize the Son of Heaven, but you are not allowed to resist the decree, is it really a hero in the world to be bullied?"

Zhang Xiu raised his gun and drank violently.

"Hehe, my Liu Biao has been bright and upright all his life, and he is even more loyal to the Han Dynasty, so why is the resistance not allowed?" Liu Biao's eyes were gloomy and he said in a low voice.

"Heh, in the past 20 years, I have never seen such a brazen person." Zhang Xiu smiled, "If you don't remember well, you're just Nanyang Taishou now, right?" ”

"He is too guarded by Nanyang, but he supports the army and is self-respecting, entrenched in Jingxiang, and he keeps saying that he is loyal to the Han Dynasty, is it not that he is loyal if he is not allowed to resist the order?"

On the head of the city,

Liu Biao only felt a mouthful of old blood gushing into his heart, his cheeks were flushed, and finally he spit out with a wow, and then his eyes rolled unconscious.

Kuai Liang's face twitched, and he swallowed saliva, this well-embroidered and vicious tongue actually said that Liu Biao was vomiting blood.

The rest of the civil and military were all terrified, and no one knew what was going on in their hearts.

Seeing Liu Biao falling, Zhang Xiu felt quite bored, raised his gun and shouted: "Liu Biao's limit is approaching, if you and the others are acquainted, quickly open the city and surrender." ”

"Otherwise, when the city is broken, there will be no grass left."

"Besiege the city, not a single ant is allowed to be spared!"

After speaking, I only listened to the shouts of the three armies, and the sound of war drums shook the sky, directly leaking the water around Xiangyang.

This also made Xiangyang up and down, covered with a layer of panic and unease, coupled with the successive fiascos, the defenders in the city have long been shaken.

In the middle of the night, in the barracks outside the city.

Zhang Xiu's eyes were deep, he glanced at the generals under his command, and couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "I looked at it just now, Xiangyang City has thick walls, although there is no Hanshui moat, it is still a strong city, and it is difficult to break." ”

"I wonder if you have a good plan to defeat the enemy?"

When the words fell, everyone shook their heads, Huang Zhong frowned and said in a deep voice: "Lord, the Jingzhou army has been defeated in a row, and the army is disheartened, so I will not dare to go out of the city to meet the enemy." ”

"However, the high walls of Xiangyang City are thick, and it is not suitable to be attacked, and the final general thinks that people can stand on the high wall, climb high and shoot at each other, and behind the high wall, they can make people dig into the city."

"At the same time, our army should build siege equipment such as well railings and ladders overnight, so that the defenders will be disheartened, and the time is ripe before they can march."

Zhang Xiu nodded and looked at Xu Shu and Cui Jun.

"My lord, I think that this battle should be based on attacking the heart, and attacking should be the next strategy. The lord only needs to besiege the city for half a month, and the city will only be in chaos without a fight. ”

Xu Shu smiled gently and arched his hand.

"Lord, although Jingxiang is in charge of Liu Biao, he can clamp down on the seven clans of Jingxiang, and the lord only needs to encircle all the clans in Jingxiang, and Xiangyang will not attack itself."

Cui Jun saluted and said gently.

"How?" Zhang Xiu frowned and asked.

He naturally knows the pattern of Jingxiang, and it can be said that if he wants to become the master of Jingxiang, he needs at least four or five approvals, otherwise even if he forcibly takes it, there will be war in the future.

"My lord, the seven clans in Jingzhou are the Pang family, Huang family, Cai family, Kuai family, Ma family, Xi family, and Yang family, of which the Cai family is the main army, and the Kuai family, Ma family, Xi family, and Yang family are in charge."

"As for the Pang family and the Huang family, they are hidden in the world."

"But don't underestimate these two, the power of the Pang family and the Huang family is not weaker than the Kuai family and the Yang family. Among them, Huang Jiajia is in the south, Ma is in Yicheng, and Pang Degong lives in seclusion in the mountains. ”

"If the lord can encircle these three families, then Jing Xiang can be determined." Cui Jun stroked his beard and talked, and his familiarity with Jing Xiang could be seen between his words.

Zhang Xiu nodded, the Pang family is a hidden family, Pang Degong has never been out of office, and Pang Tong is known as a phoenix. As for the Ma family, there are talents such as Ma Liang.

Huang Chengyan of the Huang family is also famous, and later married the daughter Huang Yueying to the Zhuge villager.

Seeing Zhang Xiu's hesitation, Xu Shu chuckled and said: "Lord, Pang Degong has some friendship with Zaixia, and he can pay a visit on his behalf." ”

"As for the Huang family, there is a daughter, who was born strangely, it is said that she has yellow hair and blue eyes, and unlike ordinary people, no one dares to marry her. If the lord wants to settle Jingzhou, he can take him as his wife and concubine. ”

"As for the Ma family, the lord can send someone to visit Ma Bochang and entrust him to Jingzhou, the Ma family has not been in contact with Liu Biao for a while, and I want to hope that the lord will join the master."

"That's very good," Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice.

"But the lord, these three families can't all take Jingxiang, and the Cai family must be allowed to defect, otherwise Jingxiang will be difficult to decide." Xu Shu's eyebrows suddenly heavy.

Among the seven, the Cai family is the leader.

Of course, it is not that the Cai family is the biggest, but that the Cai family is in power, and if the Cai family does not descend, Jing Xiang will be difficult to settle.

Zhang Xiu nodded and said solemnly: "I think Cai Mao has already led the army back to defense, and I will see if it is possible to win him over." ”

"Hehe, if Cai Mao can descend. Jingzhou worry-free! ”
