After Wang Kai announced the list of personnel to go to Jingzhou, Pei Xingyan, Wei Chigong, Yu Xuan, Li Zheng, Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, Jia Xu, Chen Gong, and Liu Ye also began to prepare for the expedition.

After Wang Kai gathered an army of 50,000, he immediately led his troops to the battle.

At the same time, Liu Qi's disobedience was also known to Cai Mao.

Immediately, Cai Mao immediately met with Liu Cong and said to him: "Lord, Liu Qi's son disobeyed his orders, and asked you to issue a military order to punish him." ”

Liu Cong thought about it and finally agreed.

After Liu Cong gave the order, he immediately asked: "Uncle, since my eldest brother doesn't go to Jiangxia County, what should General Huang Zu do now?" ”

Cai Mao thought for a while and immediately replied: "Lord, now I have to let General Zhang Yun lead my troops there." ”

Liu Cong also quickly agreed after hearing this.

Then, Liu Cong asked Cai Mao to send a message to Zhang Yun.

When Zhang Yun learned that he had been sent to Jiangxia to help, he immediately complained to Cai Mao.

"General Cai, why can't it be my turn to go to Jiangxia this time, then Sun Ce has a grudge against Huang Zu to kill his father!"

"General Zhang, Liu Qi's son of Xinye County disobeyed his orders, and he gathered Huang Zhong, Wen Ping, and Liu Pan, and they can't help me if they don't go out, if they don't go to the aid of Huang Zu, I'm afraid that Huang Zu's heart will be unbalanced."

After hearing this, Zhang Yun finally reluctantly agreed.

Subsequently, Zhang Yun led 20,000 sailors to Xiling County.

At this time, although Sun Ce tentatively launched an attack on Xiling County, Huang Zu was also desperately defending the city, and Sun Ce did not break through Xiling County for a long time.

Besides, not long after Zhang Yun led the army to the expedition, everyone in Xinye also received a military order from Liu Cong.

When everyone learned that Liu Cong was going to punish Liu Qi, they ignored Liu Cong's will, after all, Liu Cong's position as the state pastor was not honorable.

Two more days passed.

Kuai Liang and Huang Zhong also returned to Xinye County again.

Then, Kuai Liang also met Liu Qi and said to him: "Lord, the minister does not live up to the trust, and Wang Taiwei immediately raised troops to the south." ”

"Good! With the help of Captain Wang's soldiers and horses, Cai Mao can't help me. ”

Immediately, Liu Qi also ordered the generals to prepare for Xinye.

It didn't take long for Wang Kai's soldiers and horses to reach Nanyang County and rush towards Xinye County.

When Wang Kaijun arrived outside Xinye City, Liu Qi immediately greeted Wang Kai with his subordinates Huang Zhong, Wen Ping, Liu Pan, Wei Yan, Kuai Liang, and Kuai Yue.

When Wang Kai saw Liu Qi go out of the city to greet him, he immediately stepped forward to meet Liu Qi.

Liu Qi and Wang Kai exchanged a few words, and he also invited Wang Kai to enter the city.

After entering the city, Liu Qi once again told Wang Kai what had happened to him and asked for help.

After listening to this, Wang Kai immediately replied: "Don't worry, Gongzi Liu Qi, then Cai Mao and Huang Zu intercepted me halfway before, I still remember this matter vividly, and helping Gongzi Liu Qi is also helping myself." ”

Hearing this, Liu Qi was also relieved, after all, no one wanted to die easily.

After the exchange, Liu Qi also handed over his soldiers and horses to Wang Kai for command.

After Huang Zhong, Wen Ping, Liu Pan, Wei Yan, Kuai Liang, and Kuai Yue received Liu Qi's order, they also came under Wang Kai's account.

After Wang Kai accepted Liu Qi's soldiers and horses, his army also reached 70,000.

When Wang Kai was temporarily resting in Xinye County, the Xinye Lai brothers came to see him when they heard Wang Kai's name.

When Wang Kai learned that someone had come to defect, he immediately summoned the Lai brothers.

After the Lai brothers saw Wang Kai, they also saluted Wang Kai.

Wang Kai replied with a waiver and immediately asked: "I heard that you are here to defect to me, I don't know what you call it?" ”

Hearing this, a well-mannered scribe took the lead in replying: "Hui Wang Taiwei, come to Minzi Jingda in Xia Xinye." ”

Wang Kai nodded, and looked at another burly man.

At this time, the burly man also immediately replied: "Come to protect the child in Xia Xinye." ”

When he suddenly heard the name Laihu'er, Wang Kai was also secretly happy in his heart, after all, this was the talent he had summoned.

After listening to Lai Min and Lai Hu'er's self-introduction, Wang Kai also took them for his own use.

After that, Wang Kai chose to leave Huang Zhong in Xinye, after all, there was still Cao Jun in Wancheng.

After Wang Kai handed over the 20,000 soldiers under Liu Qi's command to Huang Zhong to guard Xinye, he also personally led 50,000 horses from his headquarters to Xiangyang City.

When Liu Cong learned that Wang Kai raised troops to attack, he immediately summoned Cai Mao and said to him: "Uncle, Wang Kai is coming towards Xiangyang with his troops, what should I do?" ”

Hearing this, Cai Mao also immediately replied: "Don't worry, the lord has already deployed heavy troops in Deng County, and Wang Kai will not be able to kill Xiangyang." ”

Liu Cong was still a little uneasy after hearing this.

When Cai Mao saw Liu Cong's worried look on his face, he was not nervous in his heart, after all, he had asked Huang Zu to intercept and kill Wang Kai, but the matter had come to this point, and he could only block it with soldiers and cover it with water.

Besides, after Wang Kaijun arrived in Deng County, Yu Ban and Cheng Yu of Wancheng also knew the news of Wang Kai's entry into Nanyang.

Yu Ban discussed it with Cheng Yu, and they immediately sent the news to Xu Du.

Back to Wang Kai's side.

After Wang Kai's army came to Deng County, he immediately found Liu Qi and said to him: "Liu Qi Gongzi, this Deng County is the last gateway of Xiangyang City, you go and call the door!" ”

After Liu Qi agreed, he quickly came to the city and began to call the door.

But the defenders of Deng County were Cai Mao's henchmen, and they ignored Liu Qi's cries at all.

Seeing this situation, Liu Qi was also quite embarrassed, because he found that he didn't seem to be able to help Wang Kai.

As for Wang Kai, he immediately called him back when he saw that Liu Qi failed to open the city gate.

As Liu Qi returned to Wang Kai's side, he suddenly said helplessly: "Wang Taiwei, I'm really useless!" ”

"Young Master Liu Qi doesn't have to blame himself, since he can't open the city gate, then I have to think of another way."

Subsequently, Wang Kai also led the army to temporarily stationed outside Deng County.

After Wang Kai stayed for a few days, Cao Cao of Xudu also knew about Nanyang County.

Although Cao Cao also wanted to get involved, his territory was short of food, and he had no chance to go on the expedition at all, and in the end he also ordered Yu Ban and Cheng Yu to pay close attention to Wang Kai's movements but not to move troops.

At this time, Yuan Shao of Hebei Province was also a little impatient, because his development had fallen into a bottleneck, and his next target was the Central Plains occupied by Cao Cao, as long as he defeated Cao Cao and accepted his territory, then his strength would be unprecedentedly strong, and at that time, he would be able to complete what Yuan Shu did not succeed in.

Then turn back to Wang Kai's side.

After Wang Kai's army was stationed outside Deng County for a few days, Chen Gong offered Wang Kai a plan to disturb the army's mind, and Wang Kai quickly arranged it after listening.

Soon, many letters sent by Wang Kai appeared in the city of Dengxian County.

After some literate soldiers in the city read the contents of Wang Kai's letter, their military morale was suddenly shaken.

When the county guard Deng saw this situation, he also immediately calmed down, but the content of the letter written by Wang Kai hit the hearts of the people, and the soldiers were still difficult to recover for a while.
