Chapter 330: Xiangyang falls to Liu Biao's death
With Jingzhou's promise, it was very easy for Lu Meng to get the approval of the remaining Jingzhou soldiers and take command.
Of course, these soldiers have basic judgment after all, if Lu Meng wants them to do something out of line, it is impossible, and even if they want to open the city gates wide, it is not okay to take the opportunity to counterattack.
After all, these people are not stupid, they still know what their combat effectiveness is, and it is already good to be able to resist the attack of Wei Tao's army.
Lu Meng directly took them to the western city wall, which was the most dangerous place.
Because this section is in charge of the strongest Dian Wei under Wei Tao's command, and in such a place, Dian Wei's strength can be said to be fully exerted, killing the other party can be said to be a rout, if it weren't for Wen Ping himself guarding here, I'm afraid this section would have collapsed long ago.
"General Wenpin, wait for me to lead the troops to help you!"
As soon as he went up to the city wall, Lu Meng saw that Wen Ping was leading his own soldiers, and the Jingzhou army was struggling to resist Dian Wei's offensive, so he immediately shouted.
"Good!"
Wen Ping saw Lu Meng coming, although he was a little unclear, but he also saw that the Jingzhou army actually obeyed his orders, and this alone can prove that Lu Meng has been recognized by Cai Mao and others.
Therefore, Wen Ping was not suspicious, the spear went straight out, and he approached Dian Wei, but he did not take much precautions against Lu Meng who came behind him.
"Bang!"
It's a pity that after a while, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, and then he was dizzy before fainting. He could only see Lu Meng standing behind him and smiling faintly.
Lu Meng's change had already stunned everyone. Especially when Lu Meng made this move. The 'Tiger and Leopard Cavalry' who followed Lu Meng into the city and came under his command also took action one after another, directly killing the deputy generals of the Jingzhou army.
Those deputy generals and team leaders are not high-ranked, and they can't see how important they are on weekdays, but when the chief general in the army is not there, they are the backbone!
But now even these people have fallen one after another, and for a while, no one can respond.
"I am Lu Meng, the general under the command of the general! Now entering the city on the order of the general, the ministers of Jingzhou are incompetent. Do you want to die with it? ”
Lu Meng knew that the situation was delicate at this time, and on the one hand, he gave Dian Wei a look, and on the other hand, he shouted loudly.
"But there are those who surrender, and they are exempted, but there are those who resist stubbornly, kill!"
As soon as a killing word came out, I saw a chill.
The morale of the Jingzhou army was not very high, and these generals who followed Lu Meng also had some morale, but now even Lu Meng himself is Wei Tao's person. The morale of the low level suddenly dropped.
If someone can raise their arms at this time, maybe the situation in Jingzhou can be revived. But Wen Ping was in a coma, and the other small leaders were also beheaded, but there was no one to cheer up the army.
In addition, at this time, Wei Tao's army poured onto the city wall from this place, and suddenly all these troops under the command of Lu Meng surrendered.
"General Dian Wei, and he hurriedly opened the city gate for the lord, just waiting for the city gate to open, Xiangyang is the thing in his hands! Then Cai Mao and the others still wanted to leave by water. It's a pity that they were provoked by me, and now they don't have many troops in their hands, as long as they move quickly and don't give them the opportunity to assemble the navy, then the Jingxiang navy will definitely fall into the hands of the lord, which can be described as a great achievement! ”
When Lu Meng saw that those people had surrendered, although he was happy in his heart, he knew what to do, and immediately said to Dian Wei.
"Good!"
When Dian Wei heard this, he was overjoyed, and he didn't care that Lu Meng's official position was smaller than his own, so he barely hugged his fists and made a salute, and immediately led the army and killed at the city gate.
For Dian Wei like this, Lu Meng could only smile bitterly.
However, Lu Meng is Lu Meng after all, and he is cautious by nature, so he just smiled slightly bitterly, and he just set his eyes on those pawns.
"I know there are some of you who resent me, but I don't care. If I make you attack the Jingzhou army, I think you will not be willing, let alone dedicated, rest assured that I, Lu Ziming, will not do this. ”
Lu Meng completely ignored the resentful gaze of these descendants, but the old god spoke on the ground.
"Now that Xiangyang is about to fall, there must be a mob who wants to take advantage of the fire to rob, and even a rebel army who wants to profit from it. This Xiangyang is your hometown, and in the future, your army will continue to stay in Jingzhou, do you still want to see the chaos in Xiangyang and the damage to your relatives? Now I have ordered you to quickly assemble your army, and whoever is in turmoil will be killed! ”
As soon as the last sentence came out, Lu Meng, who had always looked very kind, also became murderous in an instant.
Lu Meng naturally didn't have the heart of these soldiers to act like this, but his words were approved by these soldiers, and these soldiers just hesitated, and naturally followed their actions.
Of course, in this way, it can be seen that Wei Tao has taken Xiangyang, so soon not only the gates of Xiangyang City were opened, but even the soldiers of Xiangyang surrendered one after another.
"Wen hired me wrong!"
When Cai Mao and the others heard this, they all shouted angrily, and even insulted Wen Ping for his incompetence regardless of his manners.
Of course, no matter what, it is impossible for them to admit that they have no eyes, and they were easily infiltrated into Xiangyang by Lu Meng, or they easily obtained the military power of Jingzhou.
It's a pity that no matter how insulting they are, they can only retreat in this Jingzhou meeting hall, which is because Wei Tao has already ordered his subordinates not to forcibly attack here.
"Humph! A bunch of rubbish! And go out with me to see how Wei Tao is going to be! ”
In the middle of scolding, a familiar cold snort sounded, and a thin figure slowly walked out with the support of others, and his cold face was already revealing his hatred and anger.
At this time, Wei Tao also slowly entered the city, and the forces in the city had already surrendered one after another, even the possible turmoil was stopped because of Lu Meng's actions.
"To be able to take Xiangyang so smoothly, even the damage is not big, Ziming should be the first to take the lead! This is exactly three years without a hit, a blockbuster! ”
After taking Xiangyang, even Wei Tao didn't mind joking about this at this time, obviously even happy in his heart.
However, after taking Xiangyang, Wei Tao is equivalent to having a foundation in Jingzhou, and he can take advantage of it when competing with other princes.
But Wei Tao is Wei Tao after all, and after being happy, his expression immediately became correct, and he looked at Jia Xu and asked.
"Now everyone in Jingzhou has already hid in the palace? If so, I'll go and see. Regardless of what, although the people of Jingzhou are a little unbearable, their ability is still full, and our army now occupies a vast area, and it is precisely the lack of manpower. Although it is impossible to put them in power, it can also make them content, and it is not a problem to persuade them to surrender. ”
This can also be regarded as Wei Tao's early preparation, and he will drive all the military generals to one place, and then persuade them to surrender, as long as one or two of them surrender, the other swinging people will definitely be willing to surrender.
As for those who refuse to surrender, there may be, but they must not be relevant to the overall situation.
However, when Wei Tao led people to arrive, he still saw an old man with white hair and white beard standing in front of the hall, and behind him were all the people in Jingzhou, but at this time, many people had embarrassment on their faces.
"General Wei, the old man has been waiting for a long time!"
As soon as the old man spoke, his voice was very hoarse, and his face was even paler, and his whole body was shaky, and the whole person was very inconsistent with the words.
Wei Tao was slightly stunned, and then guessed the identity of this person.
In the face of this person, Wei Tao was not too arrogant, and immediately dismounted and hugged his fist towards him.
"Wei Tao has seen Lord Zhoumu."
"State pastor? What kind of state pastor am I? ”
Yes, this person is Liu Biao, when he said this, his face was flushed, and his words seemed to be much more fluent.
"I can't imagine that I, Liu Biao Hero, will still be bullied by you when I get old! Anyway, now that Xiangyang is in your hands, what do you want to do with the old man? ”
Hearing Liu Biao's glance, Wei Tao felt very inexplicably want to laugh, you Liu Biao is just a dog guarding the household, in vain you has the name of 'Eight Horses', and now you dare to call yourself a hero, which is ridiculous!
However, Wei Tao didn't laugh after all, Liu Biao is also a prince, and now that he has been defeated, there is no need to laugh at him anymore.
"If the state pastor wishes to continue to stay in Jingzhou, Tao will naturally not bother more, if not, I am willing to send someone to escort the state pastor to see Your Majesty, how about it?"
What can Liu Biao do?
Now he is just an old man, and he has no generals under him, although the people in Jingzhou behind him are ashamed, but they also have the intention of surrendering to Wei Tao.
Even in order to prevent his two sons from being angry with Wei Tao, Liu Biao couldn't even scold Wei Tao angrily.
"The ancestors of the Han Dynasty, I, Liu Biao, am sorry for you!"
In desperation, his breath was depressed, and Liu Biao could only let out a loud breath.
It's a pity that the call came to the end, but it was getting smaller and smaller, until Liu Biao's body was weak and fell directly to the ground, and someone stepped forward to probe and was shocked.
Liu Biao was already out of breath.
Seeing this, Wei Tao was slightly startled, and then sighed slightly, although there was no such meaning, but now that the person is dead, it is useless to say anything.
"Come on, carry down the good life of the state shepherd, and bury him."
After Liu Biao's matter was dealt with, Wei Tao raised his head and looked at the people in Jingzhou and asked.
"Ladies and gentlemen, now that the matter has come to this, do you still refuse to surrender?"
"A certain descends, but a certain family may not be able to descend!"
After a slight silence, Kuai Liang opened his mouth and said, the meaning is very obvious, this is exactly the common 'basket split' strategy used by the big family.
Wei Tao didn't mean to do things absolutely after all, and if he achieved the general trend in the future, these families would naturally fall to him, so Wei Tao nodded happily.
"It's enough to get your help!" (To be continued......)
