XXXVII. The Siege of Xiangyang

However, it was said that Sun Jian divided his troops into four ways and surrounded Xiangyang to attack, but Liu Biao knew that he was invincible and could not hold out all day long. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Sun Jian had been besieging Xiangyang for a long time, and his heart was anxious, so he gathered the crowd to discuss in the tent.

Han Dang, under his command, admonished: "I have heard that Jingzhou is rich, if Liu Biao insists on sticking to it, it will not be a problem to keep it for a year or two." At this time, it is advisable to fight quickly, and I am afraid that it will not be possible in the long run! ”

It turned out that Sun Jian was still shallow in the south of the Yangtze River, and the local clan was not completely centered, and this time it was across the river, and it was not as good as the people of Xiangyang to wait for work, if you want to win, you can only fight quickly.

It was night, the wind was suddenly rising, the sky was dark, and Sun Jian only felt more irritable.

At that time, in Xiangyang City, Liu Biao was also anxious.

During the day, Sun Jian sent people to call for war under the city, and in the long run, Xiangyang's morale was low, and he was afraid that he would break down without a fight. Liu Biao gathered everyone to discuss: "It's not a long-term solution to go on like this, what good plan can you have to relieve the siege of Xiangyang?" ”

Kuai Liang advised: "Sun Jian came across the river, he must want to fight quickly, his front is unstoppable, he should stick to it, and sooner or later he will retreat." ”

"Why is Zirou always so ambitious, and if he should not fight for a long time, it will damage morale, and put the lord's face somewhere!"

Kuai Liang raised his eyes and saw that it was Cai Mao, and he didn't like it even more in his heart: "A certain literati has a weak heart, and General Cai is brave and martial, so he will go by himself." Then he stepped back and said no more.

Everyone present knew that Cai Mao had fought a previous battle and returned defeated, and the atmosphere was a little delicate for a while, this was a family dispute, but it was not something that ordinary people could mix.

Cai Mao was furious when she heard this, thinking that Kuai Liang was deliberately humiliated, and was about to have a seizure, when she was pulled by Cai He behind her.

Everyone saw that Cai He grabbed Cai Mao and whispered, Cai Mao's face improved, and he arched his hand and said: "I recommend one person for the lord, it is Yiyang Wei Yan Wei Wenchang, this person has extraordinary martial arts and is proficient in the art of war, and now he is serving under the lord's account, and the lord can let him try." ”

Liu Biao then recruited Wei Yan in, and saw that he was eight feet long, his appearance was awe-inspiring, and he was not like ordinary people, so he made up his mind: "Wen Changguan Sun Jian's generals, can they have the power of an enemy?" ”

Wei Yan said respectfully: "If you are willing to give it a try, it will not be a problem to retreat with your whole body, and you will not lose the reputation of the lord!" ”

"Good! Haha-" Liu Biao knows countless people, and he can also see that Wei Yan is extraordinary, and he sees that his heart is calm, not arrogant or impatient, and he is even more happy.

Someone outside suddenly came to report, and Huang Gai outside the city called for battle. Wei Yan then asked for orders to fight, and Liu Biao agreed.

Sun Jian saw that Liu Biao should not fight for a long time, so he ordered his subordinates Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai and others to take turns to call for battle.

Today, it was Huang Gai's turn, I thought that there was still no one to fight, but I saw the opposite city gate open, and released a vote of people, the first person was eight feet long, his face was like a heavy date, his eyes were like a star, he was holding a spear, and he was equipped with a big knife at his waist, which was quite imposing.

Huang Gai swept away the previous laziness and fought with twelve points of spirit.

The two of you come and go, and there is no difference between victory and defeat in dozens of battles. Wei Yan was afraid that the other party would send people to help, and he would be alone, so he wanted to seize the opportunity to hit Huang Gai hard. A false shot was fired head-on, and the sound hit the east and west, and the other hand pulled out a long knife from his waist and slashed the yellow cover.

Huang Gai is also a battle-hardened person, busy dodging sideways, but still injured his left arm, Sun Jian was afraid that he would make a mistake, so he ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops, Cheng Pu and Han Dang went into battle together, took Huang Gai back, and Wei Yan returned to Xiangyang.

Huang Zhong resigned from his position, that is, he ordered his family to pack his bags, and He Bo also took care of all the affairs.

At this time, Huang Yue was still living in He Mansion, and when he saw that Guan Yu and the others were leaving, he watched from the side for a long time, and finally couldn't help but step forward and said, "General Yun Chang is leaving?" ”
