Three packs of explosives in a row, still did not achieve results in Jiangling City, Jiangling is an important city in Jingzhou, attack him, you can directly wave the army to Xiangyang, the capital of Jingzhou, the significance is not trivial, Jiangling in Liu Biao when it has undergone continuous repairs, after withstanding the test of some explosives, it is still standing.

It seems that everything is expected, Huang Zhong was not discouraged by the standing of Jiangling City, SF is used to fighting, and experiencing a hard battle is not a good thing to be able to beat the army.

If you rely on explosives to seize the city for a long time, the officers and men in the army will inevitably have a feeling of dependence.

Huang Zhong is a veteran in the army, looking at and hearing it, he is many times stronger than a young general, and with a simple order from above, he can figure out more things from it.

Jiangling's resistance was very strong, there were thunderbolts and crossbow cars in the city, and even some of the fire oil developed by Cao Jun, Wei Yan was full of confidence.

The news that Zhao Yun defeated Cao's army of 50,000 soldiers and horses with 10,000 soldiers and horses in Hanoi County has also spread in Jingzhou, and the shock brought by this news is still very big.

Since Liu Qi's death, Liu Bei has supported Liu Cong to ascend to the throne, and his own power has not been weakened, but has intensified.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang also understand that the family in Jingzhou will not be as stable as it seems, and they have secretly attracted a lot of families, as Liu Bei's eyeliner, with interests, the family will not refuse, help Liu Bei do things, and there is no obstacle in his heart.

The great victory of the Xiliang army has undoubtedly had a huge impact on the family, the strength of Jingzhou and Liangguo, even the people know that the family is not so optimistic about Liu Bei, on the surface, there are many means to secretly not know, as long as Jiangling is lost, Liu Bei will immediately try to the strength of the family.

Half a month of siege in a row, so that Huang Zhong lost nearly 3,000 soldiers and horses, this battle, as if has been promoted to a confrontation between science and technology, thunderbolt car and ballista, has become the most deadly weapon, rather than in the previous war, the wooden boulder as a weapon to defend the city.

Huang Zhong's face was a little unsightly, he never thought of assassinating Wei Yan and getting Jiangling, but the news that came showed that Wei Yan was a very cautious general, not only was the city heavily guarded, but there were hundreds of soldiers lurking around him.

In the end, Huang Zhong made up his mind, mainly because Jiangling is too important to Jingzhou, even if all the explosives are used, he will not hesitate, the key is to let Jingzhou completely shake, and the significance of capturing a city is huge, which can make Jingzhou, which is stable on the surface, secretly make waves.

The remaining seven explosives were all thrown into the battlefield, and the south gate of Gangneung collapsed in the direct connection of explosives, and the city gate could not hold on under the power of explosives, revealing the big mouth of Hesse.

After this breakthrough, the defenders in the city soon began to break through and retreat, Wei Yan was very unwilling, because the fire oil in his hand was difficult to recover the disadvantage in weapons compared with the Xiliang army, mainly because the gunpowder was too small for people to detect, not to mention that when attacking the city, the dense soldiers, looking down from the city, the city gate was in a dead end.

After Jiangling arrived, Huang Zhong came out of the list of Anmin, and then there was no follow-up, as if he was waiting for something.

The loss of Jiangling shocked Liu Bei, Jiangling's defense, he had personally gone to see it, it can be described as a well-defended one, judging from the news that Wei Yan brought back, it was that kind of weapon that made the city wall collapse and the Xiliang army was able to attack the city.

In Xiangyang City, in Cai's mansion, Cai Mao was reading books in the study, and sighed: "I don't know why Jia Rong has so many ideas, with such books, it is indeed a lot more convenient." ”

"Master, someone from the Kuai family came to ask to see you."

Cai Mao waved his hand and said: "No, if someone comes in the future, they will say that I am sick and can't see guests." ”

He naturally heard about what happened in Jingzhou, and he knew more about it than the great family in Jingzhou.

The thoughts of these families, Cai Mao can understand, in their opinion, their sister is Jia Rong's wife, just that, in the future, the Xiliang army will attack the city, the Cai family will not have any mistakes, maybe because of the sister, the Cai family has jumped thousands of miles and become the largest family in Jingzhou.

Liu Bei's strength is too weak, and it is not that the family is unwilling to assist him, after taking charge of Jingzhou, Liu Bei does not attach much importance to the family, but thinks that their existence has blocked the development of Jingzhou to a certain extent, and has wantonly installed cronies in the army, as if he did not put the family in his eyes, and the family with a hundred years of heritage has secretly endured it, which does not mean that it will not fight back.

Zhuge Liang is always a little young, and the means of dealing with such things are not sophisticated enough, in Jingzhou, the family that is reused is just a family that is not usually famous, such as the Ma family.

"Hehe, isn't the head of the Cai family even afraid to see his brother?"

Hearing the voice of the comer, Cai Mao's expression froze slightly, after Liu Bei gained power in Jingzhou, not only the Cai family, but even the Kuai family was weakened, and the influence in the court became smaller and smaller, and Kuai Liang has always been an unstable person, how could he let Liu Bei dominate Chaogang like this, after several conflicts, the Kuai family has been at a disadvantage, and even has less and less influence in the army, so he had to give up resistance, and even took the initiative to support Liu Bei A batch of grain and grass weapons.

"Lord Kuai is a busy man in Jingzhou." Cai Mao said without being salty.

After Kuai Liang came in, he unceremoniously found a place to sit down and nodded to the servant.

"Why did Lord Kuai come here? Wise people don't speak secret words. Cai Mao said.

"The head of the Cai family is still haunted by the events of the year, the younger brother apologizes to you here, I hope that the head of the Cai family can ignore the past suspicions and the two families will get back together." Kuai Liang said in a sincere tone.

"Lord Kuai has something to say, it's been so long since the events of that year, I don't have such a good memory."

Kuai Liang had a smile on his face, Cai Mao was able to say this, which proved that things would have a great turn for the better.

"The situation in Jingzhou, presumably the head of the Cai family knows better than me, and Liangguo is about to come in."

"Oh, Ryokuni called? How did I not know about this? Cai Mao said: "When the Liang Kingdom comes in, Lord Kuai must show the duty of a courtier and resist the enemy." ”

"The head of the Cai family is going to make fun of me, the two families were too stiff because of Cai Ling's affairs, originally our two families joined forces, and in Jingzhou no one dared to touch the behemoth, I didn't expect it" Kuai Liang said here and stopped, quietly observing Cai Mao's movements.

"Lord Kuai, you came here, it's not as simple as reminiscing about the old relationship, Cai Ling has no connection with the Cai family in Jingzhou, after so many years, I'm afraid everyone in Jingzhou knows about it."

"Don't hide it from the head of the Cai family, I want to unite with the Cai family, even if it ends up being wiped out, I will not hesitate." Kuai Liang said suddenly, the strength of the Western Liang Army, the world is well known, just when the Liang Kingdom attacked Jiangling, Kuai Liang had such a thought, but he just wanted to observe it again, and now he saw that the Western Liang Army broke Jiangling, he couldn't sit still anymore, the icing on the cake was not as good as sending charcoal in the snow, at this time, if there is no clear choice, I am afraid that the first unlucky one is the Kuai family, as a century-old family, Kuai Liang does not want the family's career to be wasted because of himself.

"Lord Kuai laughed, now I am idle at home, and I am also a fictitious position in the court, and I am united with the Cai family, which is a bit of a child's play."

"Master Cai, everyone knows the relationship between the Cai family and the Xiliang Army, so there is no need to hide it, Liu Bei is also the most resistant to the Cai family, I am afraid that at this time, the surroundings of the Cai family are full of Liu Bei's ears and eyes, did the Cai family master really not think about making a contribution when the Xiliang Army attacked Xiangyang?"

Cai Mao got up and paced repeatedly, from the words just now, he also understood the sincerity of the Kuai family, otherwise, as Kuai Liang, it would be impossible to come to the Cai Mansion to apologize to him in person, and at the same time, he also knew that all this was based on his sister in the Luoyang Palace, without him, maybe the Cai family would also fall into the same crisis as the Kuai family and other families in Jingzhou.

"Master Cai, the Kuai family has been a little unsafe recently, I want to place my wife and children in the Cai Mansion, and I hope that the head of the Cai family can be fulfilled."

Cai Mao was moved and said: "Lord Kuai, Liu Bei's thoughts, you understand better than anyone else, Zhuge Liang's means are transcendent, and his control of Xiangyang is not as simple as the two families uniting together, and there are not a few families who secretly take refuge in Liu Bei." ”

"The head of the Cai family doesn't have to be so pessimistic, the trees are falling and scattered, there are many families who have taken refuge in Liu Bei, but there are more big families in a wait-and-see state, they definitely don't want to entrust the family business to Liu Bei, and Liu Bei doesn't have the strength to make them feel at ease." Kuai Liang analyzed.

"After you and I unite, secretly manipulate it, and at a critical moment, it will definitely be able to have a surprise effect." Kuai Liang approached Cai Mao and said with burning eyes.

"Well, let's just say this first, Lord Kuai is an old man in the court, hurry up and go back to deal with political affairs, the Xiliang army will attack Xiangyang, I'm afraid it will be not long before the national affairs are important." Cai Mao's tone suddenly improved a lot.

Kuai Liang understood, after walking out of Cai's mansion, Kuai Liang felt that the sun was so bright, and he and the Cai family were completely sincere, and the situation of the Kuai family could not help him.

At this time, what the Kuai family wants is to be able to have a relationship with the Xiliang Army, even if it is the slightest bit, and pay a little price, and at the same time, Kuai Liang also understands that paying at this time is also to be able to get a return in the future.

As Kuai Liang expected, around Cai's mansion, Liu Bei's spies were densely packed, and as soon as Kuai Liang left, it was passed into Liu Bei's hands.

"Kuaijia? The Cai family? Liu Bei muttered softly.
