Chapter 495: The Decisive Battle of Xiangyang
Wen Chou lives in a house in the southwest corner of Xiangyang, only two streets away from Liu Biao's mansion. \\.qВ⑤、c0M\
Since he was ordered to come to Xiangyang, Wen Chou has had nothing to do all day. In addition to staying in his own barracks to train soldiers and horses, he is practicing martial arts in the house. In order to show his trust in Liu Bei, Liu Biao even handed over the city defense of Xiangyang to Wen Chou, and arranged more than a dozen beautiful maids in Wen Chou's residence. However, for Liu Biao's kindness, Wen Chou didn't seem to appreciate it, and he didn't want to appreciate it.
The news of Guan Yu's death in battle has been learned by Wen Chou.
He really wanted to go back to Xuzhou, but he had to stay in Xiangyang without Liu Bei's permission.
Wen Chou also knew the importance of Jingbei to Liu Bei and others. As long as Jingbei is not lost, Liu Bei has a sufficient buffer zone.
As for Liu Biao, because he was wary of the Kuai family and the Cai family, and his health was not good, this suspicion became more and more serious. From the beginning, he just set aside Kuai Yue and Cai Mao, and later...... Liu Biao even had doubts about everyone around him.
Therefore, Liu Biao trusts Wen Chou more.
He knew very well that Wen Chou was not his subordinate. But now Liu Bei, Cao Cao and him are already grasshoppers on the same line, and they must rely on each other in order to have a glimmer of life. Wen Chou will never make any trouble, and he is a foreigner, so he can't make any trouble.
On the contrary, Liao Li, who was in charge of Liu Cousin's guard, was ostensibly Liu Biao's henchman and had a lot of power.
But in fact, if there is no tiger talisman of Liu Biao, even Liao Li, the titular captain of Yishui. I can't mobilize the slightest soldier.
Pro-Guard. It is stationed in Yicheng, not far from Xiangyang, and it only takes half a day to reach Xiangyang.
There are 3,000 white-eared elite soldiers under the command of Wen Chou, which is enough for Xiangyang! Arguably. Wen Chou is in Xiangyang, and he is quite good.
Seeing that the New Year was approaching, Liu Biao was in Xiangyang City and began to plan to determine the heir of Xia Jingzhou.
The big war is about to start, and Liu Biao doesn't know how long he can hold on. But as long as his heirs can follow his ideas, and Jingbei and the princes depend on each other, they will definitely be able to fight for a glimmer of life. For that matter. Liu Biao to his eldest son Liu Qi. Apparently more optimistic.
The youngest son Liu Cong is very smart, but after all, he is deeply influenced by Cai Mao and others.
If he is allowed to serve as the heir, Liu Biao's hard work in the past ten years is afraid that it will be in vain.
This is a big event, Liu Biao asked Wen Chou to pay more attention to the movements in Xiangyang City, and at the same time intensively tune Liu Qi to turn back to Xiangyang.
Liu Qi is on his way to Xiangyang.
Xiangyang was very calm, and Wen Chou also felt bored.
He is not interested in Liu Biao's family affairs at all. Now. What he wanted to do most was to go to Runan and fight to the death with the Guanzhong army.
After getting up in the morning, Wen Chou practiced firearms in the yard for a while, after lunch. I was ready to go to the barracks.
That's when it happened. Outside the door, a relative came to report that there was a person who claimed to be a servant of the Kuai family. There is something important to report
Servants of the Kuai family?
Wen Chou couldn't help but feel very strange.
He was in Xiangyang, except for meeting Liu Biao, and there was no contact with the civil and military officials of Jingzhou. It is precisely for this reason that Liu Biao trusts him. What did the servants of the Kuai family come to me for? I don't have much of a relationship with Kuaiyue? What could he do in return?
Wen Chou thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Let him in!" ”
After a while, he brought a man about thirty years old with white skin to Wen Chou.
Wen Chou sat on the Taishi's chair and asked, "What's your name?" What is the important thing to come to see me? Hurry up, don't delay my time. ”
"General!"
The man hurriedly knelt down, "The villain's name is Li Nan, and he is the entourage of Lord Kuaiyue. I came here today to report an urgent matter. ”
"Say!"
"General, that's a bit long...... The villain has been following Kuai-sama for many years. I don't like it much on weekdays.,Just a little greedy for a cup.。 A few days ago, Lord Kuai got some good wine, and the villain couldn't help but steal two glasses, but he didn't expect to be discovered by Kuai Yue, and he almost killed the villain for a few glasses of wine. Later, although he circumvented the villain's life, he beat the villain for ten days and couldn't get out of bed......"
Wen Chou frowned, a little impatient.
"Li Nan, get down to business!"
"Yes, yes...... That's the case, last night, about the second half of the night, the villain came out to take a break, but found that in Kuaiyue's study, the candle was lit. Kuai Yue's life is very regular on weekdays, and he never stays up late. The villain thought that Kuai Yue forgot to blow out the candle, so he wanted to go over...... But when I got to the door, I heard Kuai Yue talking to someone in the house. ”
"So what?"
"General, don't worry, listen to the villain." Li Nan said: "The villain can't hear their conversation very clearly, but he feels that the voice of the person who talks to Kuai Yue is very familiar. So he looked out the window and inside...... General, do you know who the villain sees? ”
Wen Chou was stunned, "How do I know, who did you see?" ”
"The villain saw Kuailiang!"
Wen Chou got up and asked in surprise, "Kuai Liang?" But the son of the family who defected to Chang'an? ”
"It's the eldest prince!"
"Can you see clearly?"
Li Nan said: "The villain can guarantee that he is definitely the eldest son...... At first, the villain was worried that he would be wrong, so he looked outside again. Later, Kuai Yue accompanied Kuai Liang out of the study and took Kuai Liang into the backyard. The villain waited until dawn, but Kuai Liang did not appear. ”
Wen Chou is a little muttered!
Liu Biao's vigilance against Kuai Yue can be detected by Wen Chou. Of course, Liu Biao will not tell Wen Chou the truth, this is a family ugliness, how can Wen Chou say that he is also an outsider, how can he tell an outsider about this kind of thing? Therefore, Wen Chou has always felt that Liu Biao's wariness of the Kuai family is due to the status of the Kuai family in Jingzhou. But now it seems. Things don't seem to be that simple.
Kuai Liang defected to Chang'an. Now the mixed land is booming.
At this time, he sneaked back to Xiangyang, afraid that he had a plan.
Wen Chou thought for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Li Nan, since you found out that Kuai Liang came back." Why didn't you report to Liu Jingzhou, but came to me? ”
Li Nan said: "It's not that the villain doesn't go to report it, it's just that Liu Jingzhou is in very poor health today, so when I got to the outside of the house, I was stopped." The family members in the house said that the governor did not see any guests today...... The villain was worried that he had delayed the big thing, so he came to you to report it. ”
Is Liu Biao in poor health again?
Since the beginning of winter. Liu Biao's body is like this. Good for a while, bad for a while, repeated many times. If so, it makes sense. Wen Chou thought about it and felt that this matter could not be delayed, and he should act immediately to arrest Kuai Liang first.
"Who are the people in the Kuai family?"
Li Nan said: "No one! Madame and Son-in-law are out...... Now in this house, there are only Kuai Yue, and there are only one hundred and ten family members. ”
Wen Chou immediately summoned his relatives to come.
In this case. He didn't need to mobilize too many soldiers and horses, a hundred or so followers were enough.
To deal with the scholars of the Kuai family, there is no need for Wen Chou to take action in person. If it weren't for the status of the Kuai family, Wen Chou would not even be willing to come forward in person.
"Li Nan, do you dare to go with me? If you really get Kuailiang. I should be in front of Liu Jingzhou. Credits for you! ”
"The villain is willing!"
Li Nan didn't say a word, and led the way in front.
Wen Chou's residence is not too far from the Kuai family. After about a stick of incense, he came to the gate of Kuai's house.
Kuai Yue got the gift and hurriedly went out to greet him. Although it is said that the Kuai family has a lot of influence in Jingzhou, this article is ugly, but it is a figure favored by Liu Biao. Even if Kuai Yue looks down on Wen Chou, he has to be careful. After all, this form is not as good as people, so if you endure it, you should endure it......
"General Wen is here, I don't know what advice you have?"
Wen Chou was not polite, stared at Kuai Yue directly, and suddenly said: "I heard that your brother came back, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”
"Ahh
Kuai Yue's face changed, and he immediately returned to normal.
But it was this instantaneous change that Wen Chou saw in his eyes, and he confirmed more and more that Li Nan was right.
Holding the sword under his side with one hand, Wen Chou said in a deep voice: "Kuai Liang is a spy, come back at this time...... Why don't you hand him over? If Liu Jingzhou knew about this matter, maybe there would be a misunderstanding of the adult, wouldn't it be detrimental to the adult's reputation. ”
Kuai Yueqiang smiled: "Where did General Wen start with this? My eldest brother hasn't been back since he left two years ago. ”
"Really?"
Wen Chou sneered: "But in the early hours of this morning, someone saw him in your study, talking with you at night. ”
"Who? Who's talking nonsense? ”
Wen Chou waved back, and Li Nan ran forward and said loudly: "Master, the villain saw with his own eyes, you and the eldest prince were talking in the study last night. It wasn't until the fourth watch that you finished speaking, and then you sent the eldest prince to the back house to rest. ”
"You ......"
Kuai Yue's face suddenly turned pale, and he pointed at Li Nandao: "You cheap slave, you dare to talk nonsense in front of General Wen...... General Wen, I won't tell you anything, this cheap slave was originally a little guy next to me. A few days ago, I stole my treasured wine, and I scolded me, so I held a grudge, so I slandered me in front of you. Think about it, how could my brother come back at such a time? ”
Wen Chou sneered, "It is at this time that he will come back...... However, there is no need to be nervous. Whether it's true or not, I'll find out when I check it out. If Kuai Liang is not there, then this guy is lying to you. I will plead to thee and deliver him to thee, but if I ...... Hehe, Li Nan, do you know the way? Lead the way ahead...... Wait here, waiting for Lord Kuai! ”
Wen Chou ordered thirty guards and asked Li Nan to lead the way in front.
The other relatives broke into the courtyard of Kuai's house, the gate was closed, and then looked at Kuai Yue and the others, one by one, murderous.
Kuai Yue didn't dare to move, he looked at Wen Chou, and under the leadership of Li Nan, he walked to the back house.
"Since General Wen is so unreasonable, I will wait in the lobby to see what General Wen has to explain to me......"
Kuai Yue pretended to be annoyed and threw up his sleeves into the living room. But in the eyes of others, this style looks more like a strong and inward-looking performance.
"Li Nan, are you sure you saw Kuai Liang?"
"General, it's true...... After the corner gate in front, there was a small courtyard...... Kuailiang is inside, you will know in the past. ”
Wen Chou snorted and nodded.
He led the people through a corner gate to the back house, an independent courtyard. There are two wings here, and the setting is extremely elegant.
Li Nan pointed to one of the rooms with the door closed, and said softly: "General Wen, it's inside!" ”
Wen Chou held his sword and strode to the door. He hesitated, then slammed his foot up and slammed it against the door. The moment the door opened, Wen Chou rushed into the room. The light in the room was very dim, and Wen Chou hadn't seen the environment clearly, but he felt a sharp aura stabbing from behind him, and he saw a cold glow in the corner of his eye. Wen Chou couldn't help but let out a soft cry and dodged sideways.
At this time, dozens of black-clothed people suddenly appeared on the walls of the courtyard, on the roofs, and on the tree branches.
Hold a weapon in one hand and a crossbow machine in the other. After appearing, these people did not immediately pounce, but aimed their crossbow at their relatives in the courtyard. The roaring steel crossbow broke through the air and roared, and the cold and sharp steel crossbow, with a powerful force, penetrated the bodies of the relatives.
Thirty relatives didn't even have time to resist, and they were shot into hedgehogs by the steel crossbow that rushed in their faces.
Wen Chou said badly, the long sword in his hand was unsheathed, and he glared at Li Nan who was standing at the door, "You, who are you?" ”
"Chen Min, the captain of the villain technical attack battalion, was ordered by King Liang to invite General Wen on the road. King Liang said, your brother Yan Liang has been waiting for you for a long time in the underworld......"
"Ahh
Wen scandal heard a furious outrage.
The sword in his hand shook, and he suddenly pounced on Chen Min.
Chen Min sneered, and a narrow sword in his hand, like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, brought up a treacherous cold light, and stood with Wen Chou.
If he fights on a horse, Wen Chou will be shot in the horse's shoe, and ten Chen Min will not be opponents.
But this room is not comparable to the battlefield. And it's a foot battle, and Wen Chou is a little unstoppable......
In two or three rounds, Wen Chou was disheveled and embarrassed. After being forced back by Chen Min's sword, Wen Chou stood firm and held the sword with both hands, "Dog thief, dare to use tricks to harm me?" Not a hero! ”
Before the words fell, I only listened to the beam, and a faint voice came, "Stupid thing, who told you that the fighter is a hero?" "Who!"
Wen Chou looked up in fright.
But I saw a black shadow, suddenly swooping down from the beam, an arc moon-like cold light appeared, and the figure staggered past Wen Chou, and the cold light disappeared.
"My name is Dong Tie, and the master said, Wen Chou, you have lived for too long, you should go to meet Yan Liang!"
Wen Chou stood in place, blood spraying from his neck. Dong Tie's sword cut Wen Chou's throat, and he didn't even see clearly what shape Dong Tie's sword was.
Should I go see my brother?
Wen Chou popped and fell to the ground......
Dong Tie looked at Wen Chou's corpse, shook his head, and sighed lightly. walked to Wen Chou's side, groped in his arms for a while, and took out two tiger talismans.
"Unexpectedly, Liu Biao actually handed over the tiger talisman of the Jingzhou Army to him!"
Dong Tie shook his head, "No wonder Cai De can't find it, it turns out to be on Wen Chou's body." Chen Min, give the tiger talisman to Mr. Zirou and ask him to inform the third master to prepare for action. ”
