Taking advantage of the shaking of the defenders of Deng County, Wang Kai led his troops to attack Deng County at night.

The Deng County guards were caught off guard and lost the city.

After Wang Kaijun captured Deng County, he only took a short rest and led his troops to march towards Xiangyang City.

When Wang Kai's army came to Xiangyang City, Cai Mao in the city also quickly learned about the situation and came to the city tower.

At this time, Wang Kai also ordered to camp outside the city.

When Cai Mao saw Wang Kai's army stationed outside Xiangyang City, he also ordered the soldiers to strictly prevent Wang Kai's night attack.

Besides, after Wang Kai was stationed outside Xiangyang City, he also gathered everyone and said: "Everyone, now Xiangyang City is in front of me, I don't know if you have a good plan to break the city?" ”

Hearing this, everyone pondered, but everyone couldn't think of any particularly good way for a while, after all, Xiangyang City has deep walls and the protection of the moat.

Wang Kai saw that everyone had no good suggestions for a while, and he also ordered everyone to go back to rest.

Then turn to the side of Xiling County.

When Sun Ce's onslaught at Xiling was about to bear fruit, Zhang Yunbu finally arrived to support Huang Zu.

With the addition of Zhang Yunjun, the somewhat loose Xiling defense line was quickly stabilized again.

When Sun Ce attacked the city the next day, he also scolded angrily when he found that the Xiling defenders had stabilized their position again.

After Sun Ce finished scolding, he also ordered the siege to be suspended again.

Then, Sun Ce gathered everyone under his command and said: "Everyone, we have been attacking Xiling County for a while, but this Huang Zu is really pestering, I don't know if you have any good ways to help me take Xiling." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Yu immediately said: "Lord, Huang Zu has been able to stabilize his position only by receiving reinforcements, and the minister thinks that we can also add reinforcements." ”

After hearing this, Sun Ce said with some worry: "Gong Jin, the officers and men of our army still need to defend against Cao's army externally and Shanyue internally, but I am afraid that there will be unpredictable risks in mobilizing troops in any place." ”

"My lord, the minister didn't say that he would mobilize the people of the headquarters!"

At this time, Cheng Pu answered: "Lord Zhou, where will we get reinforcements if you don't transfer the people from your headquarters?" ”

"General Cheng's words are wrong! Although we are not able to recruit internal aid, it is possible to request external assistance. ”

Hearing this, Lu Su reacted and shouted, "Gong Jin is talking about Wang Taiwei? ”

"Those who know me, Zi Jingye!"

Sun Ce was also shocked when he heard this: "Gong Jin, are you saying this to let me unite with Wang Taiwei?" ”

"Exactly!"

At this time, Huang Gai asked suspiciously: "Lord Zhou, we can take Jiangxia ourselves, why do we ask Wang Xinhao for help?" ”

"General Huang, don't worry, listen to me slowly!"

"Lord, do you know what happened in Jiangxia County half a year ago?"

"What happened in Jiangxia County half a year ago? Could it be that Wang Taiwei was attacked? ”

"Exactly, the minister guessed that this matter was done by Jiangxia Huangzu, we only need to tell Wang Taiwei about this matter, and Wang Taiwei will definitely raise troops to come."

"Gong Jin, this is just your guess, how do you make Wang Taiwei believe our words?"

After listening to Sun Ce's words, Zhou Yu smiled and replied: "Lord, the minister has his own way to make Wang Taiwei believe in this. ”

"Gong Jin, then who do you think can be the envoy?"

"Back to the lord, there is only one son!"

When Lu Su saw Zhou Yu say this, he also quickly stood up and replied: "My lord, the minister is willing to send the envoy to the prince!" ”

"In that case, Zijing, then you should leave immediately!"

When Lu Su was about to leave, Sun Ce called Ling Cao's name again and asked him to escort Lu Su.

After Ling Cao received the order, he quickly caught up with Lu Su and left the barracks with him.

At this time, Wang Kai's side also tentatively launched an attack on Xiangyang City, but the archery skills of the Jingzhou army were relatively strong, and it was difficult for Wang Kai's army to go further after approaching the moat, and it was completely impossible to approach the city wall.

Wang Kai saw that Xiangyang City was so difficult to attack, and he had no choice but to order the siege to be postponed.

A few days passed.

Lu Su, who sent Wang Kai, also learned the news that Wang Kai was raising troops to attack Xiangyang City.

After learning the news, Lu Su had no choice but to turn around and go to Xiangyang.

When Lu Su and Ling Cao came to Wang Kai's military camp to see Wang Kai, Wang Kai was very puzzled and thought: 'Who will come to visit me at this time?' ’

Wang Kai, who couldn't figure it out, also summoned Lu Su and Ling Cao.

As the two came to Wang Kai, Lu Su took the lead in saluting and said, "Jiangdong envoy Lu Su pays a visit to Wang Taiwei!" ”

After that, Ling Cao also followed and saluted: "Jiangdong Ling Cao greets Captain Wang!" ”

After listening to Lu Su and Ling Cao's introductions, Wang Kai was very surprised and asked, "I don't know why the two of you came?" ”

At this time, Lu Su replied: "Back to the prince, the foreign minister is here to ask for help for my lord!" ”

"Asking for help? What do you mean by that? ”

"To tell you the truth, when my lord attacked Xiling County, Jiangxia County, he encountered Huang Zu's tough resistance."

"What does this have to do with me?"

"Captain Wang, the foreign minister has news to reveal to you."

"Message? What's the news? ”

"Does Captain Wang remember the ambush half a year ago?"

"Of course I remember, I almost lost my life."

"Captain Wang, the one who ambushed you was Jiangxia Taishou Huang Zu!"

Hearing this, Wang Kai immediately laughed.

When Lu Su saw Wang Kai laughing, he also asked suspiciously: "I don't know why Wang Taiwei is laughing?" ”

"Lu Su! Lu Su! I've known this for a long time. ”

Lu Su was also dumbfounded after hearing this, because he was completely unprepared for this matter.

Seeing that his chips had become a joke, Lu Su was also extremely embarrassed for a while.

After Wang Kai laughed, he also stopped at the point.

Immediately after, Wang Kai replied: "Mr. Lu Su, it is not impossible for Sun Bofu to ask me for help. ”

Seeing that things were still turning around, Lu Su replied: "Please also ask Mrs. Wang to show me!" ”

"Mr. Lu Su, if you want me to send reinforcements, then let Sun Bofu form an alliance with me."

"Alliance?"

"Exactly, only by becoming allies can we cooperate with each other, otherwise, why should I reinforce Sun Bofu? Is it just that Huang Zu once ambushed me? That Sun Bofu must have underestimated me too much! ”

When Lu Su heard this, he immediately replied: "Captain Wang, let me go back and tell the lord to reply to you on this matter." ”

"It's okay, anyway, I can't do anything about Xiangyang City for the time being."

Immediately, Lu Su also took Ling Cao to say goodbye to Wang Kai.

After the two left, Wang Kai also gathered his ministers and told them the news of Jiangdong's envoy.

After listening to Wang Kai's words, Liu Ye immediately said: "Lord, since Sun Ce is asking for help, we just use this matter to capture Xiangyang. ”

"What do you mean by this?"

"Lord, Jiangxia Huangzu and Xiangyang Cai Mao have always been in the same boat, as long as we help Sun Ce defeat Huang Zu, at that time, we can use Huang Zu's head to disintegrate the military heart of Xiangyang City, once Cai Mao's morale falls, then we can conquer Xiangyang even if we attack."

After Wang Kai thought carefully about Liu Ye's words, he also felt quite reasonable.

As for Jia Xu and Chen Gong, after listening to Liu Ye's words, they also spoke out one after another to express their approval.
