Chapter 842: Letter from Xuchang

Kuai Yue is a smart person, among the old ministers in Jingzhou, Kuai Yue thinks that he is a particularly smart person, even his brother Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue thinks that he cannot be compared.

Take this incident of returning home from illness and avoiding disasters, Kuai Yue felt that he had done a particularly beautiful job.

What does it mean to wait for a good opportunity?

That's it.

But blindly sneaking and shrinking his head is not Kuai Yue's character, seizing the right moment, and then counterattacking and regaining what he has lost, this is the highest state that a wise man should have.

When Cai Mao sent someone to find him, Kuai Yue knew that this opportunity had come.

After listening to Cai Mao's narration of him, Kuai Yue stood up and began to circle back and forth in circles, and it was self-evident that his brain was running rapidly.

When he was young, he saw Kuai Yue stand still and said to Cai Mao: "De Jue, who is the person who came to you on behalf of the pottery merchant?" ”

Cai Mao said in a low voice: "It's Zhuge Jin of Jinling City, and it is rumored to be Zhuge Liang's brother." ”

"Zhuge Clan." Kuai Yue nodded and said, "He is very close to the potter, and his words are credible." ”

"What is more than credible?" Cai Mao hurriedly took out the seal ribbon from his arms, and said to Kuai Yue: "The pottery merchant even brought the seal ribbon of the official position to Cai Mao, and now after breaking through Xiangyang, please ask for a holy decree to come down, and at that time, Brother Wei can sit firmly in the position of Zuo Zhonglang." ”

Kuai Yue didn't have any expression on his face, but he was very envious in his heart, and secretly said that Cai Deqi was really a dog...... Good life.

Cai Mao said with a smile: "Different degrees, you also know that the pottery merchant is known as the prince of the peace, who is quite disciplined in dealing with people, and is known as a gentleman, with your talent and ability, as long as you make contributions to the capture of Xiangyang this time, you will be reused by Tao Xiang in the future." ”

Kuai Yue naturally knew that what Cai Mao said was true, after all, when Liu Biao and the potters in Jingzhou were united, he had met the potters.

This incident is an important opportunity for his personal transformation, and it is also a question of what kind of life the Jingzhou Kuai clan behind him will live in the next era.

Kuaiyue naturally has to seize this opportunity.

"It's inconvenient for De Jue to come out now, it's okay, this matter is naturally secretly connected by me, but among the generals in Xiangyang, which ones can advance and retreat with you, you must think about this, those unreliable people must not be contacted, otherwise my old life will be in your hands."

Cai Mao saw that Kuai Yue was willing to help him, and hurriedly said: "That's nature, that's nature!" ”

The Kuai Yue family is the leading scholar family in Jingzhou, and the business and informants in Jingbei can be said to be everywhere, if he has his help, Cai Mao wants to contact his former colleagues in Xiangyang, and naturally he will get twice the result with half the effort.

……

After Kuai Yue returned home, he immediately arranged his subordinates according to the list proposed by Cai Mao, operated secretly, and tried to contact the Cai generals in Xiangyang one by one to persuade them to stand on Cai Mao's side.

After a period of communication, everything was ready, and only Cai Mao and the potters were owed an agreement to attack the city.

The news reached the potter, who immediately gathered the generals to discuss the time of the march.

Zhuge Jin and Tian Feng are also erudite people, they have calculated several times, and after observing for several days, they calculated that there will be heavy fog in the land of Xiangjiang in five days, and the visibility will be extremely low, but it is the best time to attack the city from inside and outside.

Tian Feng and Zhuge Jin are both resourceful people, and their inferences will naturally not be wrong.

Then go ahead with the plan for five days.

But just when the pottery merchants began to dispatch troops and prepare to attack Xiangyang City, a joint letter from Guo Jia, Chen Deng, Xun Yu and others was sent from Xuchang.

After reading the contents of the letter, the potter couldn't help but be silent.

……

The moon is dark and kills the night, and the wind is high and the sky is on fire.

Cai Mao led his soldiers to set off from Yicheng and secretly lurked at the west gate of Xiangyang City.

And at this moment, on the Xicheng side, there were already generals Zhao Yun and Gao Shun sent by the potters to respond.

After exchanging names, they went to the west gate of Xiangyang City together.

After a while, I saw that on the gate of Xicheng, torches began to flicker back and forth, dangling back and forth, as if they were sending signals to Cai Mao and others.

"The time has come!" Cai Mao turned his head to Zhao Yun and said, "This is the signal sent to us by the person I arranged!" ”

Zhao Yun didn't say much, but nodded and said, "Let's go, go down to the city!" ”

The two men commanded the soldiers and horses to the city.

When I was young, I saw that the city gate was "creaked" and opened, and the drawbridge was slowly lowered.

Cai Mao was excited for a while, and said with a smile: "It's really not time for me to be with me!" General Zhao, if we don't enter the city at this time, when will we wait? ”

After that, as soon as he turned his head, he was going to command the soldiers of the three armies to enter the city.

But Zhao Yun raised his hand and stopped him.

"General Cai, don't worry, leave this matter to Zhao."

After saying that, I saw Zhao Yun rushing to Sun Guan, the deputy general behind him: "Send someone to cut the rope of the suspension bridge and fill the moat with sandbags." ”

"No!"

Zhao Yun looked at Gao Shun again and said, "After a while, the square inch of the city gate will be guarded by General Gao." ”

Gao Shun smiled when he heard this: "General Zhao, don't worry, if the city gate is in the hands of my camp, no one will want to take it back." ”

With Zhao Yun's order, he saw Sun Guanxian commanding some Jinling troops to rush up the suspension bridge, cut the rope that pulled the suspension bridge, and occupied the suspension bridge to death.

And the soldiers under Zhao Yun's command all had a sandbag attached to them, and under Zhao Yun's command, they filled the moat one after another, and as time passed, the two sections of the moat in front of the gate of Xicheng City were quickly filled.

At the same time, not far behind Zhao Yun, the soldiers and horses of the reserve army began to transport siege equipment to the west gate, under the command of Sun Guan, a huge rush began to move towards the west gate, and the escort next to the rushing car was the heavily armed trap barracks.

Zhao Yun shouted: "Set up a ladder!" Besiege! ”

"Kill!"

"Woo woo~~!"

The sound of the horn sounded quickly in the dark night.

Cai Mao didn't know why, he looked at Zhao Yun in surprise, and said: "Zhao, General Zhao, this city gate has been opened, let's not take the opportunity to enter and occupy Xiangyang City, why do we have to move here?" ”

Zhao Yunchang sighed and said: "Although we think that this is a very good plan to cooperate with the outside, but Mr. Fengxiao and others wrote to persuade the lord, saying that Pang Tong is not an idle person, and such a strategy is afraid that it will not be able to hide from him...... I think Pang Tong will see through the plan, and lead us into the city to destroy it. ”

When Cai Mao heard this, she was stunned.

"What do you mean?"

"This open west gate is just a ploy by the other party, but we can do what we want, occupy the west gate, and then attack the city again." Zhao Yun smiled faintly, then raised his spear, and shouted: "Now the enemy puts down the bridge, opens the city gate, and wants us to enter the city, but we don't want to go in, as long as we occupy the drawbridge and the city gate, don't let the other party go back more, and then rush down to attack the city, occupy the initiative, this Xiangyang City, is still ours!" ”

Needless to say, the soldiers of the Tao Army at this moment have already killed the city tower.

The Jingzhou army in ambush on the city could no longer hold it anymore, and they appeared in front of the battlements of the city wall one after another, and began to throw stones and arrows downward.

Originally, these were intended to be used to entertain Zhao Yun's soldiers and horses after they entered the urn city, but now, it is not good.
