Chapter 71: Xiangyang is just here?
Lu Chang has been trapped in Xiangyang these days, and he has never understood a truth.
He knows how to bet on both ends, and even a barbarian like Mei Shi knows how to bet on both ends.
Why don't these clans in the city understand the principle of betting on both ends?
The Kuai family of Xiangyang City can be traced back to the Western Han Dynasty.
During the Liu Biao period, the power of the Kuai family gradually expanded, and there was a faint tendency to become a top family.
When Cao Cao went south, although Kuai Liang, the pillar of the Kuai family, died of illness, the Cao family still treated the Kuai family a lot.
Kuai Yue did not lose his position as a mad monkey as the leading party, and Kuai Liang's son also married Wang Situ's granddaughter (another granddaughter) in history, and his status was good.
If everything goes well, in fact, the Kuai family doesn't have so many twists and turns.
However, the secret of the longevity of the extended family tells the Kuai family that their current position is not particularly secure.
Before the Battle of Chibi, Liu Bei had almost become a lost dog,
At that time, Kuai Yue Kuai Liang didn't bother to look at him, thinking that Cao Cao could completely destroy him with a single effort.
Unexpectedly, in the past few years, Cao Cao's suppression of bandits and Liu Bei's power has become more and more inflated, and a new big man is about to be exterminated, which makes the Kuai family a little unable to sit still.
Now Cao Cao's backyard is constantly on fire, and the rebellion everywhere can't be suppressed.
Last year, Cao Cao even had a god-level operation of killing a lot of real firefighters (see "Three Kingdoms Zhiwu Emperor Ji Yinshan Yang Gong Ji", which is the second disgusting operation after the birth of a woman, which I think is second only to the birth of a woman).
This made the Kuai family wonder if this old Cao could withstand it.
In case, in case Liu Bei really defeated Cao Cao,
When he reigned over the world,
Looking at the descendants of these old colleagues who once looked at him in Jingzhou,
Will Liu Bei suddenly smile crookedly, and then arrange for them all to go to Jiaozhou to be the county commander.
Thinking of this, the Kuai family began to sit still,
They began to secretly collect all kinds of information about Liu Beijun, and began to analyze whether there was a chance to save their relationship with Liu Bei.
Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang are both hanging, and the people who engaged Liu Bei in Jingzhou no longer exist.
If Guan Yu responded during the Northern Expedition, maybe he could ease the relationship between the two sides a little.
This is the classic two-pronged bet.
When they heard that it was Liu Bei's son Liu Chan who attacked Xiangyang during the Northern Expedition, the Kuai family made a decision almost instantly-
Cao Ren's main force was annihilated, and it was difficult for eighty percent to hold on.
If the Kuai family handed over Xiangyang at this moment, it would be a great achievement.
Besides, Kuai Peng is just Kuai Liang's nephew, and he is not the core figure of the Kuai family.
Who doesn't have a few rebellions, Cao Cao can't be angry with the Kuai family for such a reason, right?
It was also because of this that he found that Xiangyang couldn't hold it, and Lu Chang also had the same thoughts, so Kuai Peng immediately decided to strike first-
Offering such credit as Xiangyang, how can Lu Chang be cheapened for nothing?
Looking at Ding Feng and Mei Shi who were killed from a distance, Lu Chang was discouraged in his heart.
After a brief panic, he quickly figured out the twists and turns,
Seeing the smug smile on Kuaipeng's face in the distance, Lu Chang looked up to the sky and sighed.
I've been preparing for a long time, and it's all thanks to this son!
"Lu Fujun, I'll wait to surrender!"
Lu Chang's subordinates had lost most of them in the fierce battle with Zhao Lei, and half of them were taken away by Kuai Peng.
Now the gates of the city are wide open, and the morale of the whole army is low,
Even if Lu Chang has three heads and six arms, he will definitely not be able to stop Liu Chanjun's army from breaking the city.
Several of his cronies and attendants had begun to persuade Lu Chang to surrender,
Lu Chang struggled in his heart for a long time, but finally shook his head.
"I am favored by the King of Wei, and I have the responsibility to defend the land, how can I retreat at will?
Kuaipeng is rebellious, he should be killed, and those who dare to speak up will be killed! ”
Surrender now, after all, you are forced to surrender,
It would be nice to say if I surrendered first, but it was Mei Shi and Kuaipeng......
The great credit for the dedication of the city goes to Kuaipeng, and when Kuaipeng's credit is mentioned in the future, everyone will think of their cowardice and stupidity.
Rather than leave such a reputation in history, it is better to fight to the death.
At the very least, you have to put up a little resistance, you can't let this bastard be so happy!
Lu Chang roared, pulled out his long sword from his waist, and rushed towards the city gate.
He was usually good to the soldiers, but when he encountered great calamity, many people were willing to die for him.
Seeing that Lu Chang was so brave, the defenders of Xiangyang City also rushed towards Kuaipeng together, preparing to recapture the city gate.
Kuai Peng thought that Lu Chang, an old thing, should hurry up and surrender when he saw that the general trend was gone.
At that time, he was the siege of the city, and Lu Chang was a prisoner.
Even if there is reuse in the future, it will definitely be lower than yourself.
But what I never expected was that Lu Chang was so brave,
Seeing that the city gate was lost, he actually wanted to take the city gate back with inferior forces!
"What a guts!"
Since Lu Chang wanted to die, Kuai Peng didn't mind killing this old boss in front of Ding Feng in exchange for Liu Chan's trust.
Kuai Peng's martial arts are strong, and his halberd shook, like an angry wild dog showing its fangs, and pounced towards Lu Chang.
Although Lu Chang's martial arts are scarce, he has been a general for many years, and he has accumulated a lot of dead soldiers around him who can fight well.
Seeing the long halberd stabbing at Kuaipeng, those dead soldiers spontaneously gathered around Lu Chang's side,
While using the iron halberd to block the ****-like offensive of Kuaipeng, while forming a formation,
There were a lot of soldiers under Kuaipeng, and then they reacted to what was going on.
They were usually favored by Lu Chang, how dare they fight with Lu Chang at this time, they can only passively wave the iron halberd to block,
This time it was a disadvantage.
Kui Peng was careless, and he had been pierced by the enemy in the arm with a deep blood mark,
He bared his teeth in pain, but he waved the iron halberd in his hand furiously as he pressed forward.
Many of the soldiers around Lu Chang were also Kuai Peng's subordinates before.
Seeing the boss go violent, he subconsciously didn't dare to resist, and was killed several people by Kuai Peng in an instant.
Lu Chang watched one by one of his former henchmen screaming and falling beside him, and his eyes were really split.
He roared and said:
"Kui Peng Xiaoer, Ben will fight with you!"
Lu Chang's martial arts are very low, and as he gets older, his hands and feet are a little insensitive, and he rarely kills enemies in person.
But at this moment, he was furious and desperate, and his hand suddenly became extremely flexible.
He didn't hesitate to meet Kuaipeng's halberd, but he was stunned.
"You!"
Burst!
The long thorn of the halberd pierced Lu Chang's body without hindrance,
Kuai Peng never expected that he would succeed at this casual time, and he couldn't help but be ecstatic:
"Lu Chang is dead, Lu Chang is dead!"
But he obviously underestimated the vitality of this veteran of a hundred battles,
I saw that Lu Chang, who was pierced in the abdomen, laughed cruelly, and tried his best to grab Kuai Peng's halberd rod,
Kuai Peng couldn't react in a hurry, and he couldn't pull out the iron halberd-
It was at this moment of kung fu that the dead soldiers around Lu Chang surrounded one after another, and the knives and halberds fell.
Kui Peng couldn't avoid it, and a moment later he also fell in a pool of blood.
There was only a short moment from Kuai Peng's sudden rebellion to Lu Chang's struggle to resist.
Ding Feng found that the enemy was really engaged in infighting, and when he rushed to the door, Lu Chang and Kuai Peng fell in a pool of blood.
And the injury is quite serious, apparently not alive.
"Why, how can this be?" Umeshiki stared at a pair of bull's eyes, unable to believe the scene in front of him.
Mei Shi knows Lu Chang, and he also knows Kuaipeng,
He also thought that there were these two people sitting in Xiangyang, and Xiangyang was a hard nut to bite.
Who knew that Xiangyang was indestructible, these two people actually had an internal strife at a critical moment, and they were defeated at the same time, giving up this indestructible Xiangyang City to Liu Chan.
Lu Chang and Kuai Peng were defeated at the same time, and Xiangyang City suddenly lost its backbone.
Ding Feng led the army to occupy the city gate, and the Cao soldiers in the city did not want to resist for a long time, so they knelt down and surrendered.
Liu Chan, who hurried over after hearing the news, was stunned on the spot when he saw Lu Chang and Kuai Peng dying together.
He has considered countless means of attacking Xiangyang and forcing the enemy to land,
Even be prepared, if it really can't be done, the whole army will surprise and use Meishiki's troops to attack Xiangyang first to deter the enemy.
But why did it all look like this before it even started?
Zhuge Qiao hurriedly came, looked at this tragic scene, and blurted out:
"I get it......"
"You know what!" Liu Chan directly intercepted Zhuge Qiao's words this time and said, "Shut up for me." ”
Zhuge Qiao looked at Liu Chan aggrievedly, not knowing what was going on, so he had to nod weakly, indicating that he was listening to Liu Chan's orders.
Liu Chan took a breath of air with the smell of blood, and then he felt that what he had just spoken was a little too impulsive.
He turned to face Zhuge Qiao and said sincerely:
"Brother Aqiao, I am not a man of all means,
This battle to conquer the fortified city is really a fluke,
If he fights again in the future, please ask my brother and the princes to draw a plan for me, and I must not speculate about the destiny of heaven in vain.
Remember, remember! ”
