Wei Yan knew that he had completely failed, and when Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang slowly appeared in sight under the light of the torches, looking at him calmly and coldly. He already knew that he was being calculated, because just as Kuai Yue knew him, he also knew this person who knew him very well. That kind of expression is a sign that he is in control.

There are more and more soldiers around them, and Huang Zhong, Wang Wei, Lu Gong and others know the details very well, so they are not blind, and they calmly command the soldiers to besiege and kill. Moreover, after Huang Zhong and the others shouted that it had nothing to do with them, and that they had laid down their weapons and were not guilty of the past, many people lost the courage to resist. The only people who could still follow Wei Yan were his closest guards and some subordinates who were friends of life and death.

Kuai Yue's calculation also succeeded, and the rest of the generals who had a different heart did not dare to have the slightest second heart after seeing Wei Yan's ending like this. In particular, the soldiers and generals of other departments who were faintly vigilant around them exerted great psychological pressure on them. What's more, Kuai Yue came with a sentence with a deep meaning: the past things, no accountability, if the princes intend to leave, they can be free after returning to Nanyang, I swear by the ancestors of the Kuai family, and I will never embarrass you. But if anyone has evil intentions, he will be in a different place.

Although in the face of Jingnan's repeated defeats, the prestige of Kuai Yue and others was greatly reduced. But the prestige they have established all year round is not something that can be broken in a moment and a half, and with the current shape of shì, this sentence has a good effect. These generals all calmed down and silently watched Wei Yan being besieged and killed......

But Wei Yan is also worthy of being a rare brave general in the world, and in such adversity, there is no intention of compromise. With a big knife in his hand, he took his cronies and brothers to break through frantically. Wherever he passed, no one could capture his front, and Huang Zhong, the only one who could match him, tried his best to avoid it, and rushed in the opposite direction from a distance, not giving him a chance to stop at all.

Seeing Wei Yan so witty and brave, Kuai Yue was also full of emotion. "Hey! Wei Yan is a general. If you cultivate it well. It's easy to make a name for yourself! ”

"But his personality is ......," Kuai Liang hesitated to take over.

Hearing this, Kuai Yue shook his head with a wry smile, and also smiled: "Yes! It's a pity! If he can't change it, no matter how high he goes, he will only fall harder. Who knows, though? Maybe that unpredictable Wang Xu can really control this person, but I don't know! ”

"Oh? Xenodimension. Listen to what you mean, it seems that you don't want to kill him? Kuai Liangqi said.

"Why kill him? If you want to kill him, you will ambush the crossbowmen in the queue before, and if there is any abnormal movement, they will quickly go out of battle, and then ten thousand arrows will be fired at once. Wouldn't it be easier? Saying that, Kuai Yue looked at his brother, who was better at governing the country and not good at conspiracy, and said with a smile: "Actually, it is pointless to kill anyone now, because it is impossible to redeem the defeat." Now Wang Xu has definitely received the news of our retreat, but he has not caught up so far. It is enough to show that he has made up his mind to take Jingbei steadily. So no matter who it is, there is no power to return to heaven. Rather than wait for the rebellion to leave. At the moment when he was forced away by the Jingnan army and the people, it was better to take the initiative to retreat to Nanyang, befriend him, and find a place to live. ”

"At the same time, I think the people in Jingnan will be able to see that Wei Yan's escape this time is that we deliberately left him alive, and it can be regarded as a favor! Even if you can't see it, it's better than killing, and killing the generals who want to defect to Wang Xu will only lead to deeper grudges. Isn't it? ”

Kuai Liang was silent for a moment, but he couldn't bear to say: "You can do this!" It's a bit ashamed of the lord. ”

Kuai Yue also sighed helplessly, shook his head and said, "Brother, what can we do?" This is already the best choice, but don't forget that the other four major families have always maintained a neutral attitude towards supporting Wang Xu and Liu Biao. If we don't do anything in this situation, they will do something to protect themselves. Although the six of us are all related by marriage, in the face of the life and death of the family, we can't say anything, and if we don't leave some room for ourselves, my Kuai family is really hopeless. ”

Hearing this, Kuai Liang let out a long sigh and never spoke again......

During the time when the two were talking, the battlefield was also changing rapidly, because the encirclement was not tight enough, Wei Yan quickly tore a hole, and rushed out of the encirclement with more than 100 people who persevered to the end and were the most dearest, and fled frantically towards the dense forest.

Huang Zhong and the other generals wanted to pursue, but they were stopped by Kuai Yue, and they quickly returned to their headquarters, and the army slowly set off again.

Liu Pan, who witnessed this qiē, was extremely puzzled and wanted to go forward to question. But just now, he was quickly stopped by Liu Biao. "Wait! Where are you going? ”

"Uncle? I went to the front and asked why Wei Yan was allowed to escape. Liu Pan looked at Liu Biao suspiciously.

"No need to go!" Liu Biao shook his head and said.

"Why?"

Liu Biao glanced at Liu Pan deeply, hesitated for a moment, and then said lightly: "He did it on purpose!" ”

"Deliberately?" Liu Pan's eyes widened suddenly. Shocked, he said, "Why is that? ”

"Forget it, don't ask! He did the right thing, and it was in my favor, so I don't have to worry about it. Liu Biao didn't say much, shook his head, and didn't explain more.

It wasn't until the army set off again for a while that he suddenly spoke: "Liu Pan, try not to offend Wang Xu in the future, if one day, something really happens, you take the Liu family to him!" ”

"Uncle? What do you mean by that? Liu Pan was suddenly puzzled.

"In this troubled world, I have taken a step and there is no turning back. But you didn't, and neither did the rest of the Liu family. I don't have a deep hatred with him, if I am forced by the future form, then you go to him, he is a hero, and he will treat my Liu family well. Saying that, Liu Biao smiled and shook his head, looked at the night sky in the distance for a long time, and then said word by word: "But you must remember that you must not have two hearts, otherwise you will be wiped out!" ”

The more Liu Pan listened, the more confused he became, he didn't understand the meaning at all, and hesitated: "Uncle, why? ”

"There is no reason, you just need to remember that it is better to go to him than to anyone else, no matter what the reason, he will treat my Liu family better than others. As for the reason, you will understand it in ten years. Liu Biao said lightly.

Although Liu Pan already has a good set of leading troops to fight, he obviously can't understand this, but looking at Liu Biao's strict appearance, he didn't ask any more questions, and kept this in his heart. "Nephew remembered!"

Two days later, Liu Biao's remnants and the defenders of Jiangling successfully converged at Xiangyang.

This time, Liu Biao was unprecedentedly decisive, and after only two days of rest, he slowly retreated to Nanyang. In addition to taking away all the hoarded materials and grain and grass, no damage was done at all, and even the city defense facilities were kept, leaving the intact Xiangyang City to Wang Xu.

When he got the news, Wang Xu's army had just left Yundu County at a turtle speed.

Wang Xu, who was riding a horse in the Chinese army, after reading the latest information, said with a smile with a kind of relaxation that he had not had for several years: "Fengxiao, as far as you think, why did Liu Biao retreat this time?" I thought he wanted to defend Xiangyang, but now it seems that I'm afraid it's not. ”

"Oh?" Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, and then said curiously: "Can the lord show the information to his subordinates?" ”

"Absolutely!" Wang Xu handed over the bamboo slip.

After Guo Jia finished reading it, his eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, and he smiled: "Hehe, Liu Biao is so smart!" ”

"Really?" Although Wang Xu already vaguely understood in his heart, he smiled silently on his face. "It can't be ruled out that he wanted to use this design to seduce me!"

"Yes, it's possible! But the odds are unlikely. Guo Jia said with a smile: "Doing that is tantamount to a desperate gamble, Liu Biao is not a person who likes to take risks, and he does not have the kind of pride to bet on the world and the lives of the whole family and clan!" ”

"That's a good thing, but you still have to guard against it! The closer you get to success, the more careful you have to be, although his army went to Nanyang with great fanfare, but who is sure that he is not taking advantage of this cover, but the main force is hiding in a certain col in Xiangyang, just waiting for me to stupidly get in? ”

"Huh! The lord has a point! Guo Jia looked at Wang Xu, and did not continue to refute, but pretended to bow and surrender.

Seeing this, Wang Xu suddenly glanced at him, and said angrily: "Fengxiao, I didn't expect you to start saying flattering words too." ”

"It's not flattery, what the lord says is the truth!" Guo Jia blinked in confusion.

"Well, since it's a fact. How about Feng Xiao lead a thousand soldiers and horses to explore the road now? Wang Xu said narrowly.

Being forced by Wang Xu like this, Guo Jia suddenly waved his hand awkwardly, and said with a wry smile: "Forget it, this kind of meaningless run, the lord should choose another virtuous one!" ”

"Huh!" Seeing Guo Jiana's appearance, Wang Xu smiled, didn't bother to joke with him anymore, and said solemnly: "Seriously, do you think there are several layers of ambush possibilities!" ”

"One floor!"

"Hmmm! Like me, it seems that Liu Biao's retreat to Nanyang should be inseparable. However, let's send a few patrols to search first, anyway, we are not in a hurry, it is better to be cautious. ”

Saying that, Wang Xu frowned and thought for a while, and said with some regret: "It's a pity that he knows the current affairs so well, but it makes it very difficult for me to wait." The group of generals under his account, I am already three feet old! ”

"Huh! Why should the lord be anxious, he will come down sooner or later! Guo Jia is definitely authentic.

"Oh? Why are you so sure? ”

"Because he's a smart man, and he's a man who knows the times."

"Huh! I don't think so. Wang Xu smiled and shook his head. Although Liu Biao does not have the spirit of hegemony, he is also a hero, and he is wide on the outside and jealous on the inside, I am afraid that he would rather die by himself than believe that I will still treat him well. However, it is more possible to entrust my family to me. ”

Guo Jia thought about it, but did not refute it, and said regretfully: "If this is the case, he will blame himself." ”

"Forget it, it's not clear yet, let's see it later!" Wang Xu waved his hand, not quite wanting to continue talking about this issue.

But just as he was silent, a herald rushed from the front.

"Report to the general, the enemy general Wei Yan led more than 100 troops to surrender!" (To be continued.) )
