Chapter 510: Take Xiangyang lightly

Kuai Liang was startled, and when he looked back, he saw a person eight feet long, very burly, with a face like a heavy jujube, cold eyes like electricity, dragging a big knife upside down, and staring at Kuai Liang awe-inspiringly. Jingzhou Dan all the famous generals Kuai Liang are recognized, but in front of him he is very unfamiliar, obviously the military rank is under the commander Sima, Kuai Liang saw that a small low-level officer dared to rebuke him so directly, he couldn't help but be furious, and said: "Bold! Who are you, you dare to reprimand this official, come here, take it down for me! ”

The left and right military academies immediately waved their knives and guns and pounced, and the red-faced general smiled, as if he didn't put Kuai Liang's subordinates in his eyes at all, and the big knife in his hand danced like a windmill, like chopping melons and vegetables, and cut off the heads of those military academies.

When Kuai Liang saw that this person was so brave, he couldn't help but panic, and was about to escape, when the red-faced general sneered and shouted: "Kuai Liang Pifu, where to go!" The arrow was like flying, three steps and two steps, and in the blink of an eye, he chased after Kuai Liang, raised his knife and fell, and cut Kuai Liang to the ground with his head and shoulders.

Originally, Kuai Liang brought a lot of private soldiers of the Kuai family to the city tower, but they all guarded the battlements of each section of the city wall according to Kuai Liang's orders, and Kuai Liang was killed, which was just a matter of lightning and flint, and before those Kuai family soldiers understood, Kuai Liang had already fallen to the ground, and all the military schools were stunned.

The red-faced general cut off Kuai Liang's head, held it in his left hand, shook it bloodily in the air, and shouted loudly: "Kuai Liang's head is here, if you don't wait, when will you wait?" ”

Kuai Liang is dead, the dragons are leaderless, and those Kuai family soldiers look murderous when they look at the red-faced and murderous appearance, naturally no one dares to step forward to avenge the head of the Kuai family. They scattered in a hurry and fled.

Redface cut the rope of the drawbridge with a knife, and ordered his subordinates to open the city gate to welcome the Xuzhou army into the city.

Zhao Yun shouted a few words outside the city, but he didn't wait for the people in the city to respond, but he heard a commotion on the city tower, and it didn't take long for the drawbridge to be lowered and the city gate opened, and Zhao Yun was full of guts. I don't think about whether the enemy has set up a plan to lure the enemy into the city. The first to rush into the city, the men and horses of the First Legion rushed in, and they all entered the city of Xiangyang.

Is this Zhao Yun as reckless as Zhang Fei, and now Xiangyang is in turmoil. The soldier's mind is undecided. This is undoubtedly the best time to enter the city. What's more, the First Army has an army of nearly 40,000, and now there is not much resistance in Xiangyang City, so taking Xiangyang in one go is the best choice.

What made Zhao Yun more puzzled was. Who is it that caused the commotion and chaos on the towers, and then cut down the locks and open the gates? But now Zhao Yun didn't have time to think about this problem anymore, and personally led the army into Xiangyang City.

After the Xuzhou army entered the city, such as entering a no-man's land, the Kuai soldiers scattered and fled, and within an hour, Zhao Yun had completely controlled Xiangyang City, captured countless Kuai clansmen, and only escaped Kuaiyue.

Kuai Yue was originally going to gather people to go to the West Gate to support, but before he could gather people, the West Gate came to the news that Kuai Liang was killed and the city gate was lost, Kuai Yue saw that the big thing had gone, and staying in Xiangyang must be a dead end, so he simply smeared oil on the soles of his feet, and went out of the north gate of Xiangyang, and did not dare to stay, looking for a boat to cross the Han River in the north, fleeing to the north, and preparing to go to Xudu to seek refuge in Cao Cao.

In recent years, Kuai Yue has secretly communicated with Cao Cao, secretly wanting to betray Jingzhou to Cao Cao, Cao Cao has always coveted Jingzhou, but he has never been able to free up, after all, Yuan Shao in Hebei is Cao Cao's number one strong enemy, before cutting off Yuan Shao, Cao Cao is beyond the reach of Jingzhou. However, in order to appease Kuai Yue, Cao Cao praised Kuai Yue many times in his reply, saying that Gu Yue did not like Jingzhou and was happy with different degrees, and threw the five bodies that Kuai Yue was moved to the ground.

However, this success was successful, Kuai Yue surrendered to Xu alone, but I don't know if Cao Cao can still favor him, Kuai Yue is unknown, but now Jingzhou has fallen, Kuai Yue has no way out except for Cao Cao in Beitou.

After Zhao Yun took Xiangyang, he immediately ordered people to guard the four gates, wantonly searched and arrested the Kuai clan, and at the same time ordered that the people of Xiangyang should not be offended and not take anything in vain.

The red-faced man who killed Kuai Liang would take Kuai Liang's bloody head and ask to see Zhao Yun, and Zhao Yun understood that it was this person's work to take Xiangyang lightly, and immediately led him to see Liu Ze.

At this time, Liu Ze and Liu Cong Cai Mao had already arrived in Xiangyang, Cai Mao looked at the Xuzhou army and took Xiangyang vigorously in just a moment, and couldn't help but be secretly frightened, the combat power of the Xuzhou army was so strong, fortunately he saw the opportunity to surrender the city early, otherwise if he resisted stubbornly, Kuai Liang Kuaiyue would be the end, and at this moment, I am afraid that he will also die.

As soon as Liu Ze sat down, Zhao Yun brought a general to see the details of Gu Dao's entry into the city. Liu Ze glanced at the red-faced general with interest and said, "Who are you?" Why do you want to kill Kuailiang and sacrifice the city? ”

The red-faced general bowed and saluted, and said: "Wei Yan, the general of a certain Naiya Gate, was ordered to guard the West Gate, and when Kuai Liang didn't know the sky, he acted against the sky and plotted rebellion, so he was beheaded!" ”

Unexpectedly, he turned out to be Wei Yan, Liu Ze nodded secretly in his heart. Wei Yan can also be regarded as a powerful general in the post-Three Kingdoms era, after the death of the five tiger generals of Shu Han, Wei Yan can be regarded as out of the limelight, but Wei Yan's end was very tragic in the end, and he was beheaded by the whole family, it is said that because he had a bone in the back of his head, so that Zhuge Liang was wary of him until his death. For Liu Ze, this is pure nonsense, even if Wei Yan's head is not so Zhouzheng, it cannot be concluded that Wei Yan has always had a rebellious heart, if it is really according to Zhuge Liang, wouldn't Sima Yi Mengda and others have a bigger head pillow bone? Throughout Wei Yan's life, he was meritorious to Shu Han, and he had never been rebellious, as for fighting for power with Yang Yi, it was actually nothing, and in the end he was beheaded by all the doors, and he died very unjustly.

Liu Ze has no waves on his face, Wei Yan is in the Three Kingdoms, especially in the former Three Kingdoms era when there were many famous generals, at best, he can only be regarded as a second-rate famous general, Liu Ze, who has first-class generals such as Guan Zhang, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Tai Shi Ci, will naturally not be too surprised by Wei Yan, not to mention that Wei Yan's status in the Jingzhou Army at this time is just a small Yamen general, one rank lower than Du Wei Sima. So Liu Ze named Wei Yan as the captain of Zhichong, awarded him the rank of general, and left him to stand by in front of the tent.

According to the agreement with Cai Mao, the old departments of the original Jingzhou Army were all under the command of Cai Mao, and Wei Yan was also a member of the old Jingzhou Army, so he was naturally Cai Mao's subordinate, so although Liu Ze had the heart to reuse Wei Yan, it was not good to directly pull Wei Yan into his army to serve as a real position such as the chief military captain, so he gave him a fictitious title of lieutenant and transferred him out of the old department of Jingzhou.

Cai Mao sat on the side, there was not the slightest objection to Liu Ze's decision, Wei Yan was just a small tooth goalkeeper, Cai Mao didn't know him at all before, let alone reuse it, in his opinion, this kid is just lucky, Kuai Liang just hit his knife edge, let him pick up a ready-made cheap, because of the merit of the award to the captain, it is not a big deal, since Liu Ze asked him by name, Cai Mao is also happy to be a favor, naturally there will be no different opinions.

Wei Yan was overjoyed when he heard this, Wei Yan had no connections and no family background in the Jingzhou Army, and he had only been mixed up for many years to the position of a Yamen general, and he had long been very aggrieved, and he didn't expect Liu Ze to be promoted to a lieutenant as soon as he came, and he was also awarded the rank of general, and Wei Yan had already heard of the rank of Xuzhou Army, and even if he was among the generals, it was rare. Wei Yan bowed down and thanked him, grateful.

Later, Liu Ze inquired about the situation in Xiangyang City, and Zhao Yun told them one by one, and asked Liu Ze how to deal with the captured Kuai clan.

Cai Mao immediately said: "The Kuai clan is rebellious and plotting to rebel, so it should be severely punished and wiped out by the three clans." "Cai and Kuai have been fighting in Jingzhou for so many years, they have always been evenly matched, no one can help anyone, today can be regarded as letting Cai Mao seize the opportunity, Cai Mao is thinking about how to knock the Kuai family to the ground, and then step on one foot, so that he will never be able to turn over, from then on Jingzhou is the Cai family is the only family, and there is no family to compete with.

Liu Ze smiled slightly, how could Cai Mao's mind be hidden from him, although it was said that the Kuai family plotted a rebellion, even if it was to wipe out the three clans, it was deserved, but now that Jingzhou was decided, it was the time to attract people's hearts, if it was a time to kill, the bad impact in Jingzhou would be irreparable. Although the path taken by Liu Ze is the enemy of the Shi family, it does not mean that Liu Ze's new policy is based on blood and massacre, sometimes the soft knife is often more effective than the hard line, and the forces that can be united by uniting a qiē can be united, including but not limited to the low-level Shi clan of the Hanmen Shu clan, now that Liu Ze has just entered Jingzhou, what he needs most is to win the hearts of the people, keep the political situation in Jingzhou stable, and deal with the rebellion of the Kuai family, Liu Ze naturally has to be cautious.

Kuai Liang Kuai Yue rebellion, the crime is unforgivable, Kuai Liang has been ambushed, his head hung above the gate of Xiangyang, show the public for three days, in order to follow You, Kuai Yue has now fled, so that the counties and counties are wanted, there are those who have captured the head of Kuai Yue, reward a thousand taels of gold. The rest of the sects, all those who participated in the rebellion, were exempted from capital crimes, and living crimes could not be escaped, and they were sent to Haixi, punished with hard labor, and never forgiven! As for those who did not participate in the rebellion, they were all exempted from punishment and were not prosecuted. ”

Cai Mao couldn't help but be stunned, Liu Ze's punishment was too light, and only held Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue responsible, even if the Kuai clan was not exterminated, at least everyone who participated in the rebellion should be executed, isn't it too light to only punish exile and hard labor? Kuai Liang is already dead, and it is not yet known whether Kuai Yue can escape and be able to subdue the law, so the whole rebellion was handled so lightly, which was really unexpected by Cai Mao and other generals in Jingzhou.
