Chapter 180: Xiangyang City
It turned out that although the Kuai brothers received a post from Huang Chengyan inviting them to taste Cai Yong's authentic works, they were really a little anxious, but when they heard Liu Biao's eyes and ears say that Liu Biao invited Hua Wenxuan of Xinye to lead the troops into the city, they immediately felt that it was inappropriate, and went to persuade Liu Biao overnight not to let foreign soldiers enter the city.
Liu Biao had already obeyed the words of the Kuai brothers, so he arranged according to what they said, and it was not until Hua Wenxuan calculated that Gan Ning and the others should enter the city that he learned the news, and his head was also confused.
But now that the arrow has to be sent, the Kuai brothers have gone to the Huang family, Huang Yueying and He Yan will inevitably put them under house arrest immediately, if they retreat on the spot, then the Huang family will not be able to get out of it.
So, Hua Wenxuan went out of the city in the name of pacifying the troops, and discussed countermeasures with Gan Ning, Zhao Yun and others outside the city.
When he arrived at the big tent outside the city, Zhuge Liang also came with the army, and when he saw Hua Wenxuan, he asked about the city gate, Hua Wenxuan told the Kuai brothers about Liu Biao one by one, Zhuge Liang stroked the beard on his lips, and thought about it, "Even if you can't enter the city, this Xiangyang will also be taken!" Otherwise, after arranging it for a long time, all the previous efforts will be wasted! ”
Hua Wenxuan nodded, "That's true!" ”
"Let me come!" Gan Ning, who was on the side, was like a bell, and interjected coldly: "I led more than ten people into the city in disguise, and when the agreed time came, the south gate was forcibly opened, and the Zilong brothers led the troops into the city!" ”
Zhuge Liang squinted his eyes and looked at Gan Ning, "The city gate is now heavily guarded, and they are all heavily guarded, how can more than ten people open the door?" ”
Gan Ning took out a crossbow from his waist, "With Wenxuan's divine weapon here, Xingba is naturally sure!" I attracted attention from the city gate, and took advantage of the soldiers and horses leaving the city gate to get it, so I ordered the remaining people to steal the city gate, and asked the Zilong brothers to rush in on light horses, otherwise hundreds of people would not be able to hold on! ”
Zhuge Liang took the crossbow and looked at it carefully, and was silent.
Hua Wenxuan's hand pressed heavily on Gan Ning's shoulder, "Time is pressing, then it's decided!" Tomorrow night, the Pang De Guild will invite Liu Biao's family to the study to guide Liu Cong's debate, and I will restrain them at this time, and the Zilong brothers have entered the city, don't fall in love with war, come to the study to help me! I will ask Liu Biao to order the defenders in the city to put down their swords as soon as possible! ”
Everyone nodded yes.
The next night, Hua Wenxuan waited early with Pang Degong at the door of the study, and after a short time, Liu Biao's family arrived under the escort of Cai Mao.
Hua Wenxuan saluted, and at the same time peeked at the guards under Cai Mao's command, it seemed that there were nearly 100 people, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Pang Degong led everyone to the hall, sat down with everyone and began to teach Liu Cong's debate, but Cai Mao was a martial artist, and he couldn't listen to these red tape, so he pushed open the door and stood outside the door to breathe, Hua Wenxuan didn't understand much, but he pretended to be serious and listened to it on the side.
The night was getting darker, Hua Wenxuan couldn't help but be a little nervous, lowered his head and looked around, but unfortunately met Cai Mao at the door, both of them were shocked, but they smiled quietly on their faces and signaled to each other.
Cai Mao's eyes are clearly saying, obviously you don't understand anything, but you insist on being here with you, what the hell do you want to do?
While he was thinking wildly, a person ran in from outside the study, and whispered a few times in Cai Mao's ear in a panic, Hua Wenxuan looked over nervously, only to see Cai Mao's face change, his eyes glanced at Hua Wenxuan, and his hand was unconsciously pressed to the hilt.
Hua Wenxuan suddenly understood, glanced at Minister Pang De, stood up, and closed the door.
Liu Biao and Cai's were immediately confused, and asked in a panic, "What does Gongzi Wenxuan mean?" ”
Hua Wenxuan didn't dare to look back, staring at the door, Cai Mao kicked the door open, and several guards rushed in.
Cai Mao pointed his knife at Hua Wenxuan, and scolded with a cruel smile: "Shameless rats! Dare to sneak attack Xiangyang? Don't want to live anymore? ”
Liu Biao was suddenly shocked and looked at Hua Wenxuan, "Where does this start?" What's going on? ”
"Just now, there is news from the south gate guard, a group of thieves sneak attacked from the city at night and forcibly opened the south gate, and this Hua Wenxuan's vanguard has rushed into the south city!" Cai Mao replied while motioning for someone to take Hua Wenxuan down.
Three or four guards stepped forward, but they were easily overturned on the spot by Hua Wenxuan.
Everyone couldn't help but be shocked, Hua Wenxuan took out the iron whip on his waist and kicked a guard who was still twitching with his foot, "If you dare to be here alone, General Cai doesn't want to think about why?" ”
Cai Mao scolded the guards outside to hurry in, and at the same time pressed forward with a knife, Hua Wenxuan sneered, turned the iron whip into an iron rod, and pointed at Liu Biao.
Cai Mao hesitated, then went further, Hua Wenxuan pointed at Cai again, Cai Mao paused, but did not dare to move again.
Hua Wenxuan couldn't help laughing, "General Cai really feels sorry for his own people!" He turned his face to look at Liu Biao, "What is the Spring and Autumn Righteousness later, since my soldiers and horses have entered the city, I also ask Liu Jingzhou to quickly order the defenders to put down their swords and soldiers, so as not to cause the children in the city to suffer from the disaster of blood!" ”
Liu was frightened on the surface, and was about to camp, when Cai Mao on the side shouted: "Hugh wants to listen to his nonsense!" Lay down the sword and soldier, and let it go? Forgive him for not being able to hold out alone, and no one will save him! If we take him, his soldiers and horses will naturally fall to the wind! ”
"You're not afraid I'll kill him? Or her? Hua Wenxuan looked at Cai's family, Cai Mao was suddenly furious, and the guards around him surrounded more and more, but they didn't dare to step forward.
The Cai clan was already so enraged by the scene in front of him that he scolded: "Kill him!" It's in vain that I'm so gullible about you! It's a white-eyed wolf! ”
"Huh?" Hua Wenxuan pointed at Cai's with an iron rod, "You're not afraid that I will knock you down?" ”
Cai Shi glared at Cai Mao and shouted, "If you don't take this person, Xiangyang will be gone!" Jingzhou is over! What are you waiting for? Have you ever seen a Killer use a blunt weapon?! ”
Cai Mao hesitated again and again, and shouted repeatedly: "Up! Take Hua Wenxuan! ”
More than a dozen guards rushed up with swords and soldiers, and Hua Wenxuan couldn't wait to knock down the crazy Cai first, but Liu Cong was lying in Cai's arms in horror, so that the soft-hearted Hua Wenxuan had to deal with the guards in front of him first.
Cai Mao saw the opportunity and was about to go around the back to get Pang Degong, but shouted outside the door: "General Cai! One of them rushed over! ”
Cai Mao glared fiercely at Pang Degong, who was hiding aside, and rushed out of the house angrily, scolding: "Guard the door!" But what's the panic of just one person? ”
As soon as the words passed, Hua Wenxuan only heard a crisp sound of soldiers outside the house, and with a loud bang, the door was forced open by a white horse, overwhelming a group of guards.
Zhao Yun was riding on a horse covered in blood, and the spear in his hand was high to pick up the corpse of a person, and everyone looked at it, but it was Cai Mao who was shot through the chest.
With Cai's wail, Liu Biao closed his eyes helplessly.
Liu Biao's military order to give up resistance spread throughout the streets and alleys of Xiangyang City as the sky gradually brightened.
Hua Wenxuan walked onto the street under the escort of Zhao Yun, and Gan Ning, Zhuge Liang and others were leading the army to come.
Zhuge Liang arched his hand towards Hua Wenxuan with joy on his face, and said slowly: "Congratulations to Prince Wenxuan, no, congratulations to the lord!" Xiangyang City, it's ours! ”
Hua Wenxuan listened to this unfamiliar title, looked at the dense soldiers and horses behind Zhuge Liang, and took a deep breath.
How can the air in the early morning be so refreshing, it is really refreshing!
