Chapter 326: For the attack on Xiangyang
"Report! There is a Jingzhou army marching from Xiangyang City to approach, and please ask the lord to decide! ”
Wei Tao was slightly stunned when he heard the news, and then frowned, even Wei Tao couldn't imagine such a situation.
"Wen He, when did the Jingzhou army dare to come and fight against our army so boldly? Oh, by the way, who is the leader of the other side? ”
"Lord Qiqi, the leader of the army is Zhang Yun, the general of Jingzhou."
Hearing the herald's report, Wei Tao was even more puzzled, that Zhang Yun, Wei Tao naturally knew, but when did Zhang Yun have such courage and dare to come to fight with him?
Wei Tao could only look at Jia Xu on the side, but unfortunately at this time, even Jia Xu could only smile and shake his head.
"My lord, it is uncertain why Jingzhou will be, but if the lord fights with him, it is better than attacking the city with him, if Jingxiang can be determined by battle, then it is even better."
Jia Xu obviously didn't know the reason, so he could only smile reluctantly.
"But in my opinion, I'm afraid they are still here because of the lord, in that case, the lord might as well meet with them to see what they are!"
"Wen He is very good at what he said."
Wei Tao nodded slightly, and then gave an order.
"Pass my order, the whole army will move slowly, and let me see what the Jingzhou army wants!"
At this time, Wei Tao's army was not far from Xiangyang, so even if he slowed down the march, he would soon meet the other party.
Wei Tao was naturally not afraid of the Jingzhou army, and as soon as he saw the other party, he immediately left in front of the battle. He shouted with a sweep of his eyes.
"Wei Tao is here. Zhang Yun is here to answer me! ”
Wei Tao is famous. This shout suddenly made the Jingzhou army breathe, Wei Tao is famous all over the world, even if it is a long-term name in the Jingzhou army, and now I see it in person, and my heart is cold!
However, this is also for ordinary soldiers, that Zhang Yun is also a general of Jingzhou, although he is terrified. But he was also able to remain calm and fight his horse.
And there is also a scribe who went up to the front of the battle with Zhang Yun, who is Kuai Liang.
"Kuai Liang has seen the general."
Zhang Yun, as the commander of the first army, naturally couldn't fall too much on his morale in front of Wei Tao, so he simply didn't answer with a cold face, and it was all Kuai Liang, who advocated the arrival, to talk to Wei Tao.
"It turned out to be Kuai Zirou, I don't know what Zirou came to call this time? Although the Jingzhou army is strong, I am afraid that it is not the opponent of our army! ”
Seeing this posture, Wei Tao still didn't understand the reason, and then set his eyes on Na Kuailiang.
"Haha...... The Great General is indeed the Great General. Since the general asked. Then I'm not lying. Now we naturally know the situation in Jingzhou, in fact, if the general can guarantee that the people of Jingzhou can live a peaceful life. Then I have no reason to support Jingzhou. ”
Kuai Liang's words were very straightforward, but Wei Tao knew that it was impossible for him to agree like that.
The so-called 'people of Jingzhou' are obviously Kuai Liang and other big families, but where is it so simple to ensure the interests of the big families?
What's more, now that Wei Tao is in charge of several states, there are also many families in other places, and the families who have always supported themselves have not received such treatment.
"Huh...... Dare to say a word, our army will go all out, how many days can Xiangyang hold on? Not to mention anything else, will anyone in your army dare to fight me! ”
Wei Tao was originally just a little laughing, but later he suddenly drank it, and the sound spread to the audience, which shocked everyone's hearts!
Wei Tao swept away with a pair of tiger eyes, but anyone who looked at him couldn't help but lower his head directly, especially that Zhang Yun, who was shocked by Wei Tao's glance, and retreated slightly, but he was not as calm as that Kuai Liang.
It will be the courage of soldiers.
Although Zhang Yun's movements were not big, it was very obvious in front of the two armies, and when he saw this, the momentum between the two sides was very different, in contrast, the morale of the generals under the command of the other party was greatly low, and he was almost unwilling to fight again.
Not to mention other people, even Kuai Liang, who is a strategist, felt it, and glared fiercely at Zhang Yun beside him, and it seemed that he spoke directly.
"The name of the general is powerful in the world, but I have a high city and thick walls in Xiangyang, how can I win it in one day? What's more, there is more heaven now? How can you talk about the general, you are nonsense? If the general can keep the people of Jingzhou peaceful, we naturally dare not disobey the general's order, if not, and asked me if the Jingzhou soldiers agreed! ”
I have to say that at this time, Kuai Liang drank like this, and immediately got the support of all the soldiers in Jingzhou, and the morale that was originally low was also lifted!
However, Wei Tao also heard that the Jingzhou clan did not want to start a war with him, and there was still a lot of room in his words.
"Lord, since Jingzhou Kuailiang wants to talk to the lord, then how about I go and talk to him? I'm also interested in what kind of tricks I'm trying to get up to. ”
Just when Wei Tao was about to refuse, or even directly order a war, Jia Xu suddenly smiled and said.
Although he was a little confused, Wei Tao still nodded in agreement.
Seeing Wei Tao agree, Jia Xu immediately stepped forward to say something.
"I was engaged in Jia Xu Jia Wenhe under the account of the general, and I saw Jingzhou Kuai Zirou. As Zirou said, my general is also a subject of the Han Dynasty, so I naturally hope that my Han people can live in peace. Therefore, if Jingzhou is included in the hands of my lord, then in the future, the land of Jingzhou will only be subject to ten taxes and one, but the people of Jingzhou will ......"
Jia Xu continued to talk all the way, that is, to bring together the strategies under Wei Tao's rule.
In fact, these policies are not very special policies, but compared to the other princes' territories, they are not much more relaxed.
You must know that this era is an era of war, and the taxes drawn by the states are extremely high, and there are all kinds of services.
And the land of Jingzhou, although it is for Shengping, is controlled by Cai Mao and other big families. In fact, the people under the rule are just relatively more relaxed.
Compared to Wei Tao's rule. The lives of the people are so far apart.
Of course. Wei Tao received a lot less taxes, if it weren't for Wei Tao's several major battles, all of which were victorious and obtained a lot of materials, then Wei Tao could also be described as difficult.
So speaking of it one by one, even if it was in front of the two armies, it made the Jingzhou soldiers sigh for a while, and even had a desire to run immediately.
“…… Such a policy to reassure the people. I don't know what Kuaizirou thinks? ”
Jia Xu finished talking about it in one breath, everything was for the sake of the people, and in the end, he still asked such a question, which made Na Kuai's conscience annoyed, and he didn't know how to refute it.
Kuai Liang wants to say that the 'people' are the big families, but how can such words be put on the table?
So all of a sudden, Kuai Liang was speechless.
However, this Kuai Liang is worthy of being a Jingzhou strategist, and he immediately said it.
"How can empty words be trusted? If you really pity the people of Jingzhou, you should retreat by yourself, if not, my Jingzhou soldiers are not easy to bully! ”
After all, that's the case, but soon Kuai Liang just gave that Zhang Yun a look, and Zhang Yun immediately withdrew his troops.
Seeing this, Wei Tao frowned slightly. Then he relaxed, but after all, he did not immediately move his troops.
"Wen He. You see that is the case now, what should I do? ”
However, although he did not launch an offensive immediately, Wei Tao still turned his gaze to Jia Xu on the side.
"As I see now, Jingzhou Kuailiang came to test my intentions, and Fang Caiwen and his answer are also very dissatisfied, and I am afraid that this battle will be inevitable after all."
In fact, what Jia Xu said before was mostly Wei Tao's answer to the other party before, and Jingzhou's reluctance to accept it was also expected by Wei Tao, so there was not much surprise.
It's just that this time, Kuai Liang has already made up his mind to test it so before.
The family in Jingzhou has basically decided not to surrender to Wei Tao, and if they want to take Xiangyang, they can only rely on the strength in Wei Tao's hands to seize it.
"It's no wonder that the lord is doing now, but this battle has already shown his attitude, with the temperament of the people of Jingzhou, I'm afraid it won't be so easy for us to take Xiangyang."
Jia Xu's expression was always indifferent, and when he heard Wei Tao's question, he immediately said so.
"Of course, with the power of the lord, it is naturally possible to take it by force, but it will take a long time, and then Cao Cao and the others will come. Others don't say it, just that Cao Cao, the lord should know something, if the Jingzhou scholars really work together, I'm afraid that Fancheng will be dedicated to Cao Cao, and when the lord is attacked on the side, I'm afraid it will be even more uncomfortable. ”
Hearing Jia Xu's words, Wei Tao was also awe-inspiring, if this is really the case, then even Wei Tao himself feels very difficult to deal with.
As for the previous trips to suppress the morale of the Cao army, under such circumstances, it was not enough to have any impact on his morale.
"Wen He means a quick siege? But although the large army of our army has gone south, the journey is not fast, and as for those siege weapons, I don't know when they will be able to be transported, so how should it be? ”
Wei Tao frowned, with the current vanguard army in his hands, it was almost impossible to take this city, which was the important town of Xiangyang.
But if you want to wait for the rear army, it is even more impossible if you just occupy a few small cities, so how can Wei Tao's preemptive strategy work?
"I also know the general's intentions! The high walls of Xiangyang City are really going to be attacked, and they may not be able to go down for a few months, so if you want to seize Xiangyang, you should outwit it! ”
Wen He nodded and smiled slightly, seeing this, Wei Tao's heart moved.
"If Wen He has everything to say, I don't know how to do it? Am I the kind of person who doesn't accept what people say? ”
"Huh...... My lord, my plan is to do so......"
Hearing what Wei Tao said, Jia Xu immediately smiled, and then came to Wei Tao one by one. (To be continued......)
