Chapter 517: Yu Liang's First Battle Four
Xiangyang City, in a field of flying snowflakes, the army besieged the city.
Knock knock!
In the deafening sound of drums, a symphony of horseshoe sounded, outside the ancient city of Jingxiang, in all directions, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were waiting for each other, murderous.
In the south of the city, at the head of the city, Liu Biao's tall body stood proudly, a pair of gloomy eyes staring at the fluttering Wu battle flags outside the city, and there was a touch of coldness in his eyes.
Now that the war between Wu and Chu has just begun, he has gathered tens of thousands of main forces of the state of Chu in Chibi, intending to fight to the death with Sun Resolute, but the war has not begun, but the capital of the state of Chu is now surrounded by the soldiers and horses of the state of Wu.
This is a shame for the state of Chu.
He knew more clearly in his heart that if Xiangyang City could not be defended, then the Chu State would lose this battle.
If the capital of a country falls, then the state of Chu is equal to rootless duckweed, and the hundreds of thousands of troops in Chibi will inevitably collapse, and this battle will be equivalent to defeat without a fight.
"Where's the clerk?" Liu Biao looked at the blood-colored military flag of Wu State outside the city, and asked coldly.
"Repay the king!"
The prime minister of Chu State, Kuai Liang stood a step behind him, also stared at the soldiers and horses outside the city, bowed down and replied, "Now General Wen is still leading the troops to chase and kill Sun Ce!" β
"Bastard!"
When Liu Biao heard this, he flicked his long sleeves fiercely, and said coldly: "Now that the lonely Xiangyang City is almost impossible to keep, he is still chasing and killing Sun Ce, is there still a lonely store in his eyes, immediately let him immediately wave his troops back to fight against the enemy army outside the city!" β
"Never, my lord!"
Kuai Liang hurriedly shook his head and continued: "Now there are nearly 100,000 enemy troops outside the city, even if the 20,000 troops under General Wen come back, at most they can stop them. However, it may not be possible to make the soldiers and horses outside the city retreat, but as long as General Wenpin can kill Sun Ce, the troops outside the city will naturally retreat without a fight! β
"Kill Sun Ce?" When Liu Biao heard this, his eyes lit up slightly, and there was a scene of brilliance.
"King, Sun Ce's strategy is to repair the plank road in the Ming Dynasty and darken Chen Cang. He lured us all of us with his body, but he hid it from the world and let the three major generals lead the main force and attack Xiangyang. β
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's strategy really deceived many people, if it weren't for Cai Yang's sudden loss, his battle could be described as perfect, using Cai Yang. Drag Wen Ping, and then the main force to capture Xiangyang.
Xiangyang City is estimated to not even be able to carry it for ten days.
But the variables that happened, Zhang Xiu's sudden wave of troops, and the loss of Caiyang City made this battle confusing.
"King, if we let General Wen Ping wave his troops back now, we will only fall for his tricks, and now the Wu army has already arrived in the city. Only to see who is faster! β
Kuai Liang's eyes were deep and shining, and he arched his hand and said, "As long as they can kill Sun Ce." Not only can it relieve the siege of Xiangyang, but also help the future trend of Chu State, Sun Ce is the first heir of Wu State, if he dies, the military spirit of Wu Army will be chaotic, at this time. Our whole army will attack, which will naturally enhance the chances of Chu in the Battle of Chibi! β
"But what about Xiangyang?"
When Liu Biao heard this, he thought about it, and there was a struggling light in his eyes, and Kuai Liang said it well. It's a danger and an opportunity to turn defeat into victory.
However, when his eyes stared at the Wu army outside the city, his heart was cold, and he became unconfident again, and said: "Now in the entire city of Xiangyang City, there are only less than 20,000 troops who can go into battle, how can they resist the nearly 100,000 Wu army lions outside the city!" β
"King, this is Xiangyang, the capital of the Chu State, even if 100,000 soldiers and horses besiege the city, they may not be able to capture Xiangyang!"
There was a touch of confidence at the corner of Kuai Liang's mouth, he knelt down on his knees, bowed his head, and said proudly: "In Xiangyang City, in addition to the garrison soldiers and horses, there is also a very strong force, the king can temporarily call this force to guard Xiangyang, as long as it can drag on for a month, we will win this battle!" β
"What troops?" Liu Biao suddenly became energetic.
"Soldiers of the Family!"
Kuai Liang looked around, and then cautiously spit out four words.
"Soldiers of the family?" When Liu Biao heard this, his eyes lit up slightly, but he quickly shook his head and said: "Zirou, now Xiangyang City has been stormy, and the collapse is imminent. β
The Jingxiang family has supreme power in the Chu State, and once they unite, they can definitely influence the decisions of the court, even if Liu Biao, the king of Chu, can't compete.
This is something that the Jiangdong family can't do in the country of Wu.
Liu Biao rode into Xiangyang alone in the past and got Jingzhou, relying on the strength of the Jingxiang family, after the Chu state, the Jingxiang family got Liu Biao's report, and the power above the court began to gradually swell.
With the Kuai family and the Cai family as the core, the rights of the Jingxiang family can already completely control the court, even if Liu Biao is overpowered, it is not something that cannot be done.
Every family has soldiers who depend on it for survival, and these soldiers start training when they are small, which can be regarded as elite soldiers, if the family soldiers in Xiangyang City add up, they can make up at least 30,000 elite soldiers.
These 30,000 soldiers, plus the 20,000 forbidden troops of the Chu State in the city, and with the thick walls of Xiangyang City, they can still fight in the face of the Wu army outside the city.
But the government soldiers are always the foundation of the family, if Liu Biao forcibly moves their government soldiers at this time, it will be tantamount to falling out with them.
At this stage, at the critical juncture of the war between Chu and Wu, Liu Biao did not dare to touch the bottom line of the Jingxiang family.
"Don't worry, the king!"
Kuai Liang's eyes were awe-inspiring, and there was a touch of righteousness rising up, and he said loudly: "The soldiers of the family are also the people of the Chu State, and the ministers will take the example of the five thousand soldiers of the Kuai family to enlist in the army, and the ministers can also use the name of the Kuai family and the Cai family to forcibly recruit the soldiers of the family for the king, no one wants the Wu army to enter Xiangyang City at this time, so the family is the same!" β
The state of Wu was one of the most demanding vassal states of the family class.
The Jiangdong family was originally the most powerful part of the local family, but now it has been beaten and almost crippled, and under the majesty of the Wu State, it is trembling to survive.
This seems to be an example, an example of the timidity of a person from all over the world.
Family, that is a kind of glory, the glory from the ancestors.
Every member of the family, they protect this glory from the bottom of their hearts, so they are proud of the family, and no one is allowed to harm the interests of the family.
The family is one, and the fate of the Jiangdong family makes them think of themselves, so the Jingxiang family does not want Jingzhou to fall under the rule of Wu.
As early as in the past, when Sun Quan took action against the Jiangdong family, the Jingxiang family had already had a feeling of resistance to the Wu State, and helped the Chu State to become strong all these years, didn't it just hope that the Chu State could fight against the Wu State?
"Good!"
When Liu Biao heard this, he was in a good mood, and couldn't help laughing a few times, looked at Kuai Liang, and said: "Zirou, this matter will trouble you, Gu represents the Chu State, thank you for your righteousness!" β
"This is what a minister should do!"
Kuai Liang hung his head and smiled slightly, but his smile was a little bitter, if it didn't come to this point, he would definitely not use the family's last hole card.
But he knew very well that Xiangyang City could not fall.

Outside the city, above a tent.
LΓΌ Meng, Dong Xi, Chen Wu, and the three major generals were all gathered in the camp, and the three of them were all leaders of the younger generation in the army, and they were also the best generals under Jiang Hou.
Among the three, Lu Meng is the youngest, Chen Wu is the most stable, and Dong Xi is the most powerful.
"Cai Yang is lost!" Lu Meng gritted his teeth and said, "How Jiang Hou's whereabouts are unknown, this is outside our plan, so we have to think about how to deal with it!" β
"Jiang Hou's order is for us to capture Xiangyang!"
Dong Xi's face was gloomy: "The military order is like a mountain, it can't be changed!" β
"I know!" Chen Wu squinted, but there were wisps of green tendons bulging on the back of his hands, and he said coldly: "But we can't ignore Jiang Hou's safety!" β
"If Jiang Hou has an accident!" Lu Meng took a deep breath and said, "Even if we capture Xiangyang, it won't make any sense!" β
"I believe in Hou Ye's ability!"
Dong Raid is Sun Ce's favorite general, the generals who killed the soldiers under Sun Ce step by step, compared to Lu Meng and Chen Wu, who were born in the martial arts hall, he was more loyal to Sun Ce, more confident, and said proudly: "It's just some ghosts, they can't hurt Hou Ye, Hou Ye's military order, is my opinion, no matter what the situation, you can't disobey Hou Ye's military order, and you must die to complete Hou Ye's military order, so we must take Xiangyang in the shortest possible time to save Hou Ye!"
