Chapter 290: Cai Mao's Selfishness
Outside Xiangyang City, Liu Biao was on top of the bronze flying horse, and with a gloomy face, he ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops, and Kuai Liang's face beside him was not very good-looking.
In the past few days, they have been launching a fierce attack on Xiangyang City, but there are Xun Yan and Yuan Yao in Xiangyang City, and there are 25,000 soldiers and horses guarding them, they have been attacking for several days in a row, and the losses of the soldiers under their command have exceeded 10,000, but they still can't break through Xiangyang City, and the same is true today.
Liu Biao controlled the bronze flying horse car to fall to the ground, and Liu Pan also returned to Liu Biao's side and asked, "Uncle, I can open the situation on the city wall in just a few days, why do you order the withdrawal of troops?" ”
Hearing Liu Pan's question, Liu Biao hadn't said anything yet, and Kuai Liang was the first to get angry: "Liu Pan, pay attention to your own identity, is this the attitude you should have when you speak?" ”
Liu Pan only reacted at this time that his attitude towards Liu Biao was indeed a little bad, and it was also thanks to him that he was Liu Biao's nephew, if he had been replaced by someone else, it was estimated that he would have been dragged down and beheaded by Liu Biao.
Liu Pan calmed down his mood at this moment, and asked again: "Uncle, as long as I have a little more time, I can open up the situation under the city wall of Xiangyang City, the city protection array of Xiangyang City has been broken, and without the suppression of us by the city protection array, we can hit the city wall in one go." ”
"And then?" Regarding Liu Pan's words, Liu Biao just asked so easily, which made Liu Pan speechless.
Liu Pan also understood that even if he could open up the situation in Xiangyang City today, it would be limited to that, and he would not be able to capture Xiangyang City in this way.
Liu Biao looked at the sunset on the horizon at this time, and said in a deep voice: "Zirou, pass the order and order everyone to come to the main account tonight." ”
"No!" Kuai Liang vaguely guessed some of Liu Biao's thoughts, but he was not sure that since Liu Biao's cultivation broke through to the Void Soul Realm, Liu Biao's thoughts were not something Kuai Liang could guess.
That night, Liu Biao, Kuai Liang, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Liu Pan and others all gathered in Liu Biao's main account, all with solemn faces.
It has been five days since they began to attack Xiangyang City, and in these five days, they can be said to have launched a fierce attack on Xiangyang City at any cost and regardless of the consequences, and even today, even the protective array of Xiangyang City was shattered under their onslaught. However, even if the protective array of Xiangyang City was broken, they would not be able to take Xiangyang City today.
The current Xiangyang City Xun Yan sits in the center, dispatches everything, and suppresses some people with different ideas in Xiangyang City, and it is precisely because of Xun Yan's sitting in charge that the current Xiangyang City does not have civil strife. Even if Liu Biao has communicated with the major families in Xiangyang City many times, because of this and some other reasons, these families are not willing to cooperate with Liu Biao now.
Maybe after Xiangyang City is broken, these families will not hesitate to invest in Liu Biao's command, but before Xiangyang City is breached, such a thing will basically not happen. Because once Xiangyang City was breached because of the inner ghosts, then when Yuan Shu knew the news, he would definitely not let go of the inner ghosts that caused Xiangyang City to be breached.
And Xun Yan sat in Xiangyang City, and Yuan Yao appeared on the city wall of Xiangyang City every day, and it was precisely because Xun Yan appeared on the wall of Xiangyang City every day that it gave great encouragement to the soldiers of Yuan Shujun in Xiangyang City, so that these soldiers could defend Xiangyang City under Liu Biao's onslaught at any cost.
Liu Biao also thought about taking action to solve Yuan Yao, but he and Kuai Liang, two masters of the Void Soul Realm, were restrained by Xun Yan and couldn't make a move, although Liu Pan's strength was not weak, but now even if Yuan Yao is without Wei Yan and Zhou Cang, there are also Liao Hua, Pei Yuanshao, Huo Du, Qi Ji, Qin Yi and others, especially Qi Ji and Qin Yi, as Yuan Yao's full-time guards appointed by Yuan Shu, and they were told by Xun Yan that these two people did not leave Yuan Yao's side at a single step, and let Yuan Yao stand on the head of Xiangyang City for a few days, but they have not been in any fatal danger.
Yuan Yao, as the son of Yuan Shu, is extremely expensive among the soldiers of Yuan Shu's army, but even so, Yuan Yao is on the front line every day to command the battle, so that the morale of the Yuan Shujun who defends the city has not fallen, so that he can hold Xiangyang City.
Liu Biao looked around at the people in front of him at this time and asked, "Zirou, may you attack Xiangyang City tomorrow?" ”
Kuai Liang pondered for a moment, and then said: "I'm afraid it won't work, there are still more than 10,000 defenders in Xiangyang City at this time, even if everyone is injured, but with our current situation, it will take at least two days to break through Xiangyang City." ”
Taking a deep breath, Liu Biao asked, "Maybe create a little situation from within Xiangyang City to help us attack the city?" ”
When Kuai Liang heard this, he knew that Liu Biao had given up on the families in Xiangyang City, because Liu Biao had always asked him to contact the families in Xiangyang City before, and tried to win Xiangyang City with the outside world, but I don't know why, none of the families in Xiangyang City have agreed to Liu Biao's conditions, which made Kuai Liang feel very strange, but now Kuai Liang wants to recruit the power of heaven and earth with Liu Biao every day to bless his soldiers to attack the city, and he didn't care about this matter for a while.
But
Kuai Liang's gaze swept Cai Mao without a trace, and his intuition told Kuai Liang that this matter was related to Cai Mao, although there was no evidence, Kuai Liang could feel that this was the truth.
Cai Mao's eyebrows were lowered at this time, Liu Biao and the major families in Xiangyang City had no contact, and it was indeed Cai Mao who made a ghost out of it, as for the reason, Cai Mao naturally didn't want to attack Xiangyang City this time, and there would be other heroes besides them. Now among the people sent to Liu Biao by the four major families in Jingzhou, Pang Ji of the Pang family died, and Huang Zu of the Huang family was snubbed by Liu Biao because he did not have Jiangxia County, as for Huang Zhong, in fact, strictly speaking, he is not a member of the Huang family, and it can only be said that Huang Zhong and the Huang family of Jiangxia where Huang Zu is located are from the same ancestor.
The power of the Pang family and the Huang family was greatly weakened, and the Cai family and the Kuai family also increased in power, and Cai Mao did not want another family to appear in Xiangyang City to share Liu Biao's reuse with him. The current Cai and Kuai families are very good, and Cai Mao doesn't want a third one.
In Cai Mao's view, Xiangyang City is destined to be breached by them, it is just a matter of time, in this case, even if there are no major families in Xiangyang City as internal responses, they will only break through Xiangyang City in a few days at night, anyway, they can take Xiangyang City with the help of Yuan Shujun in Nanyang, there is no need to let the major families in Xiangyang City have a chance to take the position.
