Bowangpo was originally not far from Xinye, and after the fire was extinguished, Wei Tao immediately led the army down to the outside of Xinye City.

At this time, the whole Xinye was already silent, and the wide open city gate showed that the people in it had been gone for a long time.

This Xinye City can do nothing except serve Wei Tao as a resting place.

"Wenhe, did you say that Zhuge Liang would have set up an ambush in this city?"

Wei Tao just thought about it for a moment and asked.

"It's hard to know! However, the evacuation of the people of Xinye is only between these two days, and if they retreat, they must retreat to Xiangyang. Why should the lord spend time here? No matter what Zhuge Liang had, as long as our army arrived in Xiangyang, unless he wanted to serve our army, he could only leave on his own, or garrison Xiangyang. ”

Jia Xu only thought for a moment, and then said.

"The lord's opponent is not that Zhuge Liang, but Liu Bei, Cao Cao and Sun Quan. There was already news that Sun Quan had raised troops to attack Jiangxia, and at the same time, Cao Cao was also leading the army, and his target was Fancheng. Xiangfan is one, if the lord can't go down to Xiangyang quickly, it will be difficult to gain a foothold in Jingzhou at that time. ”

"That's true, and now that Liu Bei is also sending more people to repair the road in Shuzhong, I'm afraid that it will be out of Sichuan in some time, and then our army's first-mover advantage will disappear."

Wei Tao nodded, understanding what Jia Xu meant.

Seeing that Wei Tao understood, Jia Xu immediately smiled slightly.

"The lord doesn't have to worry so much, now the lord still has the lead, and regardless of Jiangxia. It's still Fancheng. All are far from being comparable to Xiangyang. If the lord takes Xiangyang, how can the hearts of Jingzhou people remain unchanged? ”

This is indeed the case today, and continuing to stalemate here is not much benefit to Wei Tao, but it is better to point to the right heart.

If there is no change at that time, he will directly take Xiangyang, and then he will slowly deal with it.

After all, Xiangyang is the loyalty of Jingzhou, and many of the families of the ministers and generals are among them. Even if Wei Tao didn't use this as a threat, those military generals had to worry about it.

"What Wen He said is extremely true!"

With a certain thought in his heart, Wei Tao nodded slightly to Jia Xu and said.

"No matter how Kong Ming uses his strategy, his purpose cannot be to defend against our army, if he stalemates with it here, then it will be a waste of time."

Jia Xu deserves to be Jia Xu, just talking about this overall situation, it can be seen that it is extraordinary.

However, although Wei Tao has already woken up, it is not so easy to let go of this level, and he raised his head and looked at the Xinye City in front of him. Wei Tao showed a faint smile on his face.

"Where is Zhang Xiu?"

"The last general!"

Hearing Wei Tao shouting loudly, Zhang Xiu immediately shouted in response. This way to the south, without the slightest confrontation has shown his ability, it really made Zhang Xiu depressed, and now when he heard Wei Tao's order, Zhang Xiu immediately lifted his spirits.

"Pass my order, and you will lead someone to burn this new wild city for me!"

"Burned?"

Zhang Xiu was slightly stunned for a moment, how could he not have thought that Wei Tao would give this order, at this time, although Xinye City is only a small city, it can also be used by people to rest in it, and the lord actually ordered the city to be burned?

"Some time ago, it was already delayed for a few days, and then our army was going to Xiangyang, and we didn't have so much heart to pay attention to those ghosts and ghosts, and they were burned clean! At the same time, it can also warn the people of Jingzhou that even if they flee in advance, our army will not let them handle it, if they dare not fight with our army, then they will surrender our army! ”

Wei Tao's order naturally will not be wrong, through Jia Xuyi's words, Wei Tao has to understand.

Although this Xinye city is small, it is stuck on this southward throat road, and if it is occupied by someone here, then it may be a threat to Weitao's grain road at all times.

Although he has taken Xinye now, Wei Tao doesn't want to put all his thoughts on this Xinye.

Under such circumstances, it is better to burn this city here, it can be said that it is a hundred, and others will no longer be able to use it in the future.

"My lord, this method is really wonderful!"

The embroidery hadn't understood yet, but Jia Xu had already figured it out, and immediately praised it.

"If you follow the lord's law, this law can be a hidden danger."

Seeing Zhang Xiu and other generals, he was puzzled, and Jia Xu immediately explained to them one by one with a smile.

"Please rest assured, the lord will definitely follow what the lord says!"

Zhang Xiu is happy to go, and the resentment of the past few days can be released.

Destruction is always faster than construction, and the houses in the city are all made of wood, and soon they will burn, and the entire Shinno Castle will suddenly become a sea of fire.

Seeing this, Wei Tao immediately nodded slightly, even if he wanted to extinguish the fire at this time, it was almost impossible to save the city.

"The whole army is heading straight to Xiangyang!"

With Wei Tao's order, the entire army went straight towards Xiangyang.

Where is the army moving, where dare someone come to hinder it.

And when the new wildfire started, on a high slope in the distance, Zhuge Liang sighed slightly.

"Sure enough, he is worthy of being a general, and he actually sees through my plan, with the strength of our army, no matter how much he stops it, it is impossible to stop the footsteps of the general.

"Damn! Is there no way? ”

Huo Jun on the side saw such eyes and wanted to breathe fire, which was completely different from the pride of Bowangpo setting fire to it two days ago, and blocking Wei Tao in front, a pair of eyes stared at Zhuge Liang tightly, and shouted loudly.

"Aren't you the one who can attack it with fire this time? What is this now? Then Wei Tao himself burned down all the city! How do you ask me to be accountable? ”

"The generals are only a few thousand, and they have been in battle for a long time, it is impossible to stop the general, and they can keep this army, and it has been delayed for two days, presumably General Cai Mao will not be harsh. The general has no need to worry about this. Now, Na Wei Tao went straight to Xiangyang, but he wanted the general to make a decision. ”

Zhuge Liang is Zhuge Liang, although he is also a little young and vigorous at this time, but he also has a good grasp of his mentality, and only calmed down the restlessness in his heart in an instant, and in turn persuaded Na Huo Jun.

"If the general is like today's situation and Mo Yan doesn't know, the war in Jingzhou is imminent, doesn't the general think about the evil road ahead? Now the general has been blocking the general for Jingzhou for a few days, and he can be regarded as loyal, if the general is intentional, Liang can give the general some pointers. ”

Looking at the confident smile on Zhuge Liang's face, Huo Jun was suddenly silent.

Because Wei Tao directly led people from the main road after that, he didn't encounter any problems along the way.

It's just that in the same way, Wei Tao's actions also made his daily march exposed to the eyes of the people of Jingzhou, and all the news was quickly transmitted to Xiangyang.

It was just as Wei Tao thought, the news that Wei Tao directly led the army had spread throughout Jingzhou at this time, and all the civil and military forces in Xiangyang were under pressure at this time, and they didn't know how to choose.

No one dares to guarantee that if they defend Xiangyang, when Xiangyang City is broken, how Wei Tao will treat them.

But if you want to surrender Wei Tao like this, those big families are unwilling.

Indeed, if it is said that Xiangyang cannot be defended by its own strength, it is true, but if the other princes arrive, Wei Tao will not be able to take Xiangyang so easily.

After all, Xiangyang City is high and deep, and there are countless elite soldiers in the city, and the grain and grass are enough to eat for several years.

Of course, if it weren't for Wei Tao personally leading the army, Xiangyang would not have been so shaken at all.

"What to do? What now? Could it be that the Son of Heaven let me Jingzhou be so exposed to the eyes of those who are ambitious in wolves? ”

Within Jingzhou, these people of the Jingzhou clan have gathered together more than once, but the position of the head is still empty, and only everyone is arguing.

"Enough!"

And the person who spoke at this time was none other than Cai Mao, who held the power of Jingzhou, although Cai Mao seemed to be incompetent, but he had been in charge of Jingzhou for so many years, where was he a simple character.

As soon as he opened his mouth like this, everyone who was still flustered stopped, and Cai Mao muttered slightly for a while before looking at the two scribes on the side.

"Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang, are you talking about what we should do now? Then Jiangdong Sun Quan needless to say, Jiangdong and my Jingzhou have a feud, and we can't take refuge in the past. As for that Liu Bei, his foundation is too shallow, and he can't compare to Cao Cao and Wei Tao. Now that Wei Tao is approaching, do we continue to choose Cao Cao, or choose Wei Tao instead. The wisdom of the two of you can be regarded as Jing Xiang's most profound scheming, and what you have to say is what you say. ”

Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, and Kuai Liang thought that there was a lot of competition in Jingzhou, so they spoke politely.

Anyway, Cai Mao also knows that no one will be entangled in such a trivial matter at this time.

"Cao Gong naturally has Cao Gong's reason for not coming, and with Cao Gong's temperament, if he can listen to the words of us outsiders and change his plan, then he is not Cao Gong, and it is not worth us to go to the same place."

Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang really didn't care, especially Kuai Yue's current direct way.

"Of course, the general is also extraordinary, and compared to Cao Gong, the general can be said to have never been defeated, and can be said to be the most likely person to determine the world, even if he takes refuge in the general at this time, after all, as long as we open Xiangyang and send Xiangyang, then the general is most likely to get Jingzhou, and the situation in the world will be natural at that time."

"Everyone already knows these words, don't say these useful and useless anymore, I know your brother's ability, for the sake of my major families in Jingzhou, do you still want to hide it?"

Cai Mao looked at the two of them with some annoyance, which made both of them a little helpless.

"General Cai, what I mean by my brother is that I can't make up my mind even if I wait for myself."

But soon Kuai Liang replied, but when he saw that the faces of everyone in the hall were a little uncertain, he immediately smiled again.

"What I mean is give it a try!"

"Oh? How to give it a try? ”

Hearing Kuailiang's words, all the people were curious. (To be continued......)
