Kuai Liang heard that Liu Biao suspected him of betrayal, but what Liu Biao said was the truth, and his heart was depressed, and sweat fell down.

"And now that Zhang Xiu's thieves are coming to attack Xiangyang, you promote your henchmen when you are about to fight, do you want to occupy Xiangyang with the inside and outside, ah!" Shouted at Kuailiang.

At this time, Kuai Yue, who was in charge of Xiangyang's internal affairs, came to the city wall, saw Liu Biao scolding Kuailiang, knelt down and said to Liu Biao:

"The lord is angry, please repel the enemy and then scold my brother."

"Repelling an incoming enemy? With you, it will be broken in Xiangyang City. Liu Biao yelled and scolded, his face became ruddy, and he took a breath and said:

"You've come just in time. For the sake of your service to me for so many years, I will not be executed immediately. Someone came, and took Kuai Yue Kuailiang to a cell. ”

Kuai Yue was inexplicable, Kuai Liang helplessly did not resist and was escorted down.

At this point, Liu Biao's top strategist Kuai Liang, generals Liu Pan, Cai Mao, and Huo Jun were all abandoned by Liu Biao.

An autumn wind full of sand blew under the city, Liu Biao felt an inexplicable chill, coughed a few times, and suddenly felt that the surroundings were a lot cleaner, or too deserted.

After looking around, he found that the only strategist was Wang Cang, who was still wearing a green shirt. Wang Cang, one of Jian'an's seven sons, 24 years old, has a public face, dressed in a green shirt and a standard scholar's dress, with an easy-going personality and not dazzling, and has not been reused by Liu Biao; He still has some talent in domestic affairs, but he can't do it in military strategy.

"Your name is Wang Cang, what do you think about breaking the enemy!" Liu Biao said to Wang Cang.

"The enemy army has just defeated General Liu Pan, General Cai Mao, General Huo Jun, and their morale is booming, so it is really not appropriate for us to go out of the city to fight." looked at Liu Biao and said.

"Hmm." Liu Biao nodded and motioned for him to continue.

"The walls of Xiangyang City are tall and strong, we only need to defend the walls as we did against the Yellow Turban Army, the enemy army will not be able to attack it, and it will soon retreat." Wang Cang said.

"Yes." Liu Biao took a long breath and said weakly, "I am old in the end, and now I am the world of young people." He turned around and called Liu Qi over, and said to Wang Cang: "You can assist Qi'er well, and I will leave the guard of Xiangyang to you." ”

In Wang Cang's modesty, Liu Biao went back to the city lord's mansion to rest, and although it had been determined that the Kuai brothers were traitors, he still put Cai Mao and Huo Jun under house arrest.

Outside the city, Zhang Quan took Jia Xu, Zhao Yun, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Huang Yueying, and Sun Shangxiang to Xiangyang City 500 meters away, looking at the tall and majestic city, the moat drawn from the Han River, the vast soup, sparkling, like a big river, Zhang Quan couldn't help but give birth to a burst of pride, this is the civilization of the Chinese people.

"I don't know how you think you should conquer this Xiangyang City?" Zhang Quan turned around and said.

"The city wall of Xiangyang is tall and solid, and it is not easy to overcome." Jia Xu muttered, Pang Tonghe and Zhuge Liang, who had not decided to go out of the Jiangnan Army, were only brought out by Zhang Quan in the name of going out to have fun with their classmates, and Xu Shu shook their heads slightly.

"Oh, I misled you just now, we don't have to conquer Xiangyang, as long as we finally occupy Xiangyang." Zhang Quan said to them with a smile.

"There's a difference?" Pang Tong asked, Zhuge Liang's expression lit up after listening to Zhang Quan's words, Zhang Quan nodded to him, and said to Zhao Yun:

"Take the troops out of the moat, set up camp around the moat, and surround the city of Xiangyang. Only besiege, not attack. At the same time, the camp tent was made a little bigger, giving Liu Biao a lot of false impressions of our soldiers. ”

Liu Qi in Xiangyang City looked at the approaching enemy army under the city and was very excited. Haha, this is the first battle he fought after taking power, even Liu Pan, who has been controlling Jiangling alone, has become a subordinate, and it is a defensive siege battle, which is easy to fight, and the armor in the city is sufficient, and the enemy army is coming to attack Xiangyang, isn't it looking for death?

Liu Qi supported his weak body with excited nerves, and was beaten by the cool autumn wind all day, and the only gain was that after watching the soldiers in the city set up camp in an orderly manner, maybe he would also set up a tent. "Ahh

"Sir, why don't the enemy attack?"

It was the first time that Wang Cang had been called Mr., and it turned out that the taste of respect was so refreshing, and he seemed to be indifferent and said:

"The enemy army is tired from afar, and tomorrow it will attack the city."

The next day, the wind was good, Liu Qi Wang Cang got up early and urged the soldiers to assemble on the city wall and closely monitor the city, but found that there was no one outside the tent under the city. Liu Qi, Wang Cang, and the Xiangyang defenders continued to be in a tense state until three poles in the morning, and finally found that there were soldiers under the city who came out of the tents, yawned, and shook the firewood step by step to make food. Liu Qi mechanically turned around and asked Wang Cang:

"What's going on with the enemy?"

"Probably because the enemy's military discipline is loose, they all slept until three o'clock in the morning and forgot to get up to attack the city, they will attack after eating." Wang Cang swore and said frankly.

But until the evening, Liu Qi's wife and concubine called him home for dinner, the Jiangnan army still did not attack, and Liu Qi reluctantly went to the city.

In the early morning of the third day, Liu Qi wanted to lie on the bed and continue to sleep, but thinking that maybe the enemy army would attack the city today, and he would win the battle, so he immediately yelled and got up energetically. Standing on the city wall, beaten by frost in the morning, exposed to the scorching sun at noon, and feeling lonely at night looking at the stars in the night sky alone, the lonely soul seems to have broken away from the lonely body and went to the city to fight with the Jiangnan army.

On the fourth day, a dazed Liu Qi came to the city, and the soldiers on the city tower suddenly shouted: "The enemy army has been dispatched!" Yes! Liu Qi's expression lit up and he immediately became sober. Lying on the city wall, it turned out that Zhao Yun got up early and rested for two days in the Jiangnan army, howling and training outside the city, but not attacking the city.

On the morning of the fifth day, dozens of peasants from the countryside came to Xiangyang City to catch the market, and Zhang Quan politely took them under the city gate bridge and asked the soldiers to shout to Liu Qi to let the people who were rushing to the market enter. Liu Qi and Wang Cang on the city wall heard it and thought to themselves, you are a fool to me, this must be your trick to open the city gate.

It is said that after Liu Biao handed over the city defense affairs to Liu Qi and Wang Cang, he went to the city gate at noon every day, and saw that the enemy army did not attack the city, and he was also very anxious, and his spirit became more and more haggard day by day. On this day, he came back from the city wall tiredly, and forced Cai to press Cai Shi on the bed and toss for several hours, and finally fell into a deep sleep.

It's just that he slept and woke up three days later. After waking up, Liu Qi, Liu Cong, Liu Pan, Cai Shi, Cai Mao, Cai Zhong, Cai He all surrounded him, and he asked suspiciously, "Huh?" Why are you all here, not guarding the city? ”

Cai Shi lay on Liu Biao's chest and cried: "Husband, you have been in a coma for three days. ”

Liu Qi looked haggard and said, "Father, you are awake, the enemy army has not attacked the city for eight days." Well, father, we don't have enough food in our city. ”

"How so? How can I not have enough food and grass in Xiangyang City? Lone has occupied Xiangyang for decades, and there has never been a shortage of food and grass. Liu Biao said weakly.

"Half a month ago, I saw that the rice harvest outside the city was about to be harvested in autumn, and I thought that our Xiangyang grain and grass have always been sufficient, so I used the excess grain to make wine. Now the old food has been eaten. Liu Qi said frankly.

"You!!" Liu Biao took a breath, "What about the grain harvested this autumn?" ”

"Well, we are surrounded and can't go out to harvest grain. And the grain outside the city is being harvested by the Jiangnan army. Liu Qi said in a low voice.

"What!" Liu Biao was stunned and fell unconscious, and everyone immediately cried.

Liu Biao, who was asleep and recovering his strength, was woken up by everyone and said hoarsely:

"Open the door and surrender." After saying that, he died of anger.

What Liu Biao thought before he died was why the water dragon hadn't shown up to help him.
