Chapter 404: Guan Yu's Order
Seeing that he fell into the other party's calculations, Wen Ping was full of remorse, but now is not the time to regret, he knows that since the other party has launched a flood, then he will definitely gather a large army outside the city now, and he may even take a boat through the city gate and launch an attack on the city, the most important thing now is to appease the hearts of the soldiers and people in the city, once the soldiers and civilians flee, even if he is an immortal, I am afraid he will not have the power to return to the sky.

In fact, at this time, a small number of people came to the north gate where Wenpin was located with their families, the terrain here was slightly higher, and they could flee directly to Fancheng in the north, so most of the refugees came here, but they saw that Wenpin led the sergeants to guard there, and made a move to defend to the death, and at the same time persuaded them hard, most of them gave up escaping, and many people decided to guard Xiangyang with Wenpin.
Of course, there are also a few people who didn't listen and insisted on escaping, but they were stopped by the clerk and killed on the spot.
Although Wen Ping is not the lord of Xiangyang, he has always been very prestigious in Xiangyang, so this hand shocked those who wanted to escape, forcing them to give up or temporarily give up their plans to escape.
However, at this moment, I saw a noisy voice in the rear, and a wave of people and horses came over, and one of them, a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears, said loudly: "General Zhongye, please get out of the way, we are going out of the city gate to Fancheng." ”
Seeing this, Wen Ping immediately shouted: "Didn't you see the matter of Fang Cai? Now that Xiangyang City has been besieged by the enemy, it is time for us to work together to defend the city, how can we allow you to escape and shake the hearts of my army? Therefore, no one is allowed to leave the city, and those who violate the order will be killed. ”
saw the man sneer and said, "Kill? Do you know who I am? I am a member of the Zhonglu Kuai clan, these are the family members of my Kuai clan, if you dare to kill me, my cousin Kuai Yue will never let you go. ”
"Cousin? Are you a cousin of Quartet? Wen Ping looked at the middle-aged man, and suddenly hesitated, because the current Xiangyang City generals mainly rely on him, and Wen Chen mainly relies on Kuai Yue, it is precisely because the two of them work together to fight the enemy that the safety of Xiangyang City is guaranteed, and now Kuai Yue's cousin wants to go out of the city, does this mean that Kuai Yue wants to betray? If this is the case, I am afraid that Xiangyang City is really finished, because Kuai Yue's prestige in Xiangyang is far more than his, once Kuai Yue betrays, his current prestige is not enough to maintain order in Xiangyang City, and even the army will have many people betrayed.
However, at this moment, I only heard a shouting and scolding voice from behind: "Kuai Ming, you are so bold!" How dare you disobey my orders and lead your family to flee without permission, and even under my banner? ”
"Two, second brother." As soon as he heard that voice, the middle-aged fat man Kuai Ming was immediately stunned, he hurriedly trotted all the way to the other party, and said with a trembling voice: "Don't blame me, I can't help it, now the enemy is flooding Xiangyang, if we don't run again, we won't even have our lives, and among these people brought by the younger brother, there are not only the wives and children of the younger brother, but also the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law and my nephews and nieces. ”
"Hehe, it's a good one for the Kuai clan, but if you do this, it will cause the disaster of exterminating the clan for our Kuai clan, how do you understand, you idiot?" Kuai Yue gritted his teeth with hatred for this cousin in his heart, knowing that if he didn't do it ruthlessly today, he was afraid that their Kuai clan would definitely suffer in the future, so he ordered someone to tie up this cousin, and then drew his sword and personally killed Kuai Ming.
"Kuai Ming, you must pay the price for your reckless behavior today, otherwise my Kuai clan will be suspected of rebellion, please rest assured, I will take care of your wife and children, and I will ensure that they will have no worries about food and clothing in the future."
After killing Kuai Ming, Kuai Yue said silently.
Immediately, Kuai Yue shouted at his clansmen, warning them to return to the city immediately and not to disobey his orders, otherwise they would be dealt with according to the clan rules.
When those clansmen saw that the patriarch had spoken, they didn't dare to say anything, so they hurriedly collected Kuai Ming's corpse and returned home.
At this time, Wen Ping came over and said to Kuai Yue: "Kuai Junshi, thanks to you for coming, otherwise I am afraid that it will be really difficult for me to deal with today's matter." ”
I saw Kuai Yue smile and said: "Zhongye, I'm afraid it's not that it's difficult to deal with, but I'm afraid that I'm the mastermind behind them, right?" Hehe, even if I Kuai Yue is unwise, I will never surrender to the thieves, not to mention that I also believe that the general will definitely send reinforcements over, if you go fast, it is estimated that you will come to Xiangyang in three days at most. ”
"Do you need another three days?" When Wen Ping heard this, he suddenly felt bitter in his heart and muttered.
"Yes, we were able to hold on to these three days, but I didn't expect this Guan Yu to use such a poisonous trick as flooding, but I haven't seen it yet, in this way, Xiangyang may be difficult to hold on to for three days, alas, all this is my fault, but no matter what, I Kuai Yue must also swear to protect Xiangyang, not for anything else, just to repay the old lord's kindness in the past, and also to repay the love of the villagers and elders in Xiangyang."
Although Kuai Yue's figure is thin, his words are righteous and awe-inspiring, which is admirable.
The clerk on the side also said proudly: "Since the literati of Kuai Gong and the others can be so impassioned, is my clerk not as good as you?" There is nothing to say about today's affairs, and I will live and die with the city! ”
Not far from Wen Ping, the soldiers also shouted in unison with him: "We will live and die with the city!" ”
Although it was at night, and there was a surging flood under his feet, the shouts of the soldiers broke through the sky, and there was a heroic spirit that soared into the sky, and even the soldiers of Guan Yujun outside the city heard it, and their faces changed slightly.
"Hehe, I didn't expect it to be at this time, these little miscellaneous fish still dare to do this, wait until midnight, and don't see the thieves out of the city, it looks like they want to be trapped in the city, since that's the case, then I'm not welcome, I will definitely satisfy you."
Guan Yu guarded outside the city until dawn, and still no one escaped, knowing that his plan to intercept and kill had failed, so he ordered: "Pass my order, the soldiers will rush into the city by boat, and besiege and kill the defenders in the city. ”
At this time, Guan Yu's righteous son, Guan Ping, stepped forward and said: "Father, now that the flood in Xiangyang City is surging, the food and materials have been washed away and soaked, and it looks like it is about to become moldy, why don't we wait for a few days?" I believe that in a few days, when the city will be cut off from food, the walls will collapse, and the flood waters will recede, will it not be easy for us to attack again? ”
But saw Guan Yu sigh: "Of course, what you said is a foolproof strategy, but now all parties will definitely rush to support, especially Liu He's guy, the use of soldiers has always been elusive, and the speed of the march is even more amazing, I estimate that in three days at most, his army will appear outside the city, once Liu He's reinforcements arrive, we will no longer have a chance to take Xiangyang, not to mention this little bit of people in the city, how can we be our opponents?" All you need to do is fight tomorrow, and you will be able to take the city. ”
