"Eldest sister, don't you need to be so nervous, right?" The woman picked up the glass, and as her arms continued to shake, the wine in the glass swayed from side to side, and then put it to her lips and tasted it.

"Little sister, this mission is very important, you must be careful in everything."

"Got it." The woman said disappreciatively.

"Eldest sister, when do you say we should go to find Cai Mao? He doesn't seem to have been in contact with Liangguo before, is it reliable? ”

"Don't say more, the Holy One has his own judgment."

When the patrolling soldiers had passed, the two women paid the money and walked out of the restaurant slowly, with light steps, and soon disappeared at the end of the street.

The defense of Cai Mao's mansion is the tightest in the Jingzhou family, not only the private soldiers in the mansion, but even Liu Bei's people lurking in the shadows are not a few, of course, the element of surveillance still occupies the main part.

"I didn't expect so many people to secretly spy outside Cai's mansion, and I don't know how Cai Mao got involved?" The woman in black muttered dissatisfiedly.

"Let's not approach Caifu for the time being, so as not to be discovered by someone with a heart."

"If you don't get close to Cai Mansion, how can you complete this mission?"

"The situation in Jingzhou is critical, Cai Mao will definitely not stick to Xiangyang with Liu Bei, I am afraid that we have already made plans, and the key to our mission this time is to capture Xiangyang, don't forget the order of the saint."

But anyone with a little insight knows that the Cai Mansion will not settle down, so the surveillance force of the Cai Mansion is the strongest, except for Kuai Liang, who entered the Cai Mansion before, none of the other families is willing to enter the Cai Mansion, and no one wants to anger Liu Bei at this critical moment.

"General Zhou?" In the middle of the night, Zhou Tai suddenly heard such a voice in his ears, and his heart was shocked, and his sword was unsheathed.

A bright light gradually appeared in the tent, and Zhou Tai saw two women in black sitting in the tent, and was shocked, and couldn't help asking, "Who are you?" Why did you break into the camp of the general in the middle of the night, do you know that this is a capital crime? ”

Seeing that Zhou Tai lowered his voice very low, a smile appeared on the faces of the two women, but under the veil, Zhou Tai couldn't even tell whether they were men or women.

"General Zhou, have you forgotten the saint?" The woman in black said softly.

Zhou Tairu was struck by lightning, standing stunned, the saint in the woman's mouth must be Jia Rong, although he is in the heart of Jia Rong, for so many years, except when he was just in the Jingzhou Water Army, a lone wolf soldier came to contact him, and then there was no news, at first hearing Jia Rong's news, how could he not be excited.

"Holy? Isn't he in the palace? With the protection of General Liu, General Ben saw it a few days ago. In a cautious manner, Zhou Tai replied cautiously.

"General Zhou, the little woman refers to the saint of Luoyang."

"General Zhou, this is the will of the Holy Heaven." Another woman in black took out a yellow silk cloth from her arms and handed it to Zhou Tai.

Zhou Tai fell to the ground with a thud, and after three bows and nine bows, he caught the holy decree with an extremely solemn expression.

After about a quarter of an hour, Zhou Tai put away the holy decree and said, "General Ben already knows. ”

The two women were quite satisfied with Zhou Tai's reaction before and after, at least they had a strong sense of defensiveness against unknown figures.

"General Zhou, there are many offences in the matter of Fang Cai, I hope you will forgive me, little daughter Li Ying, this is my sister Li Yu, the current deputy commander of the assassination." Li Ying hugged her fists.

"I didn't expect General Li to be able to take on such a heavy responsibility at such a young age." Zhou Taizan said.

"The general had better be careful of Liu Bei, and don't go to Cai's Mansion recently." Li Ying reminded.

"General Li rest assured, General Ben has his own means."

After Li Ying and Li Yu left, Zhou Tai picked up the holy decree on the table again, watched it repeatedly, and figured out the meaning, especially how Liangguo treated the Cai family, you must check it carefully, everyone in Jingzhou knows that Cai Mao has a younger sister, who is Jia Rong's wife.

After a long time, Zhou Tai carefully reassured the holy decree in his hand, and muttered: "Xiliang Army, Zhou Tai is back." ”

Zhuge Liang gave an order long before Huang Zhong besieged Xiangyang, and the defenders in other parts of Jingzhou did not get the order to rescue Xiangyang privately, this order, the turmoil brought in Jingzhou was still very large, and the saint was in Xiangyang, besieged by the Liang State, but the imperial court issued such an order.

Huang Zhong did not allow negligence in all the situations on the battlefield, and hundreds of scouts, with Xiangyang as the center, began to spread around, controlling the situation on the battlefield at any time, which is the basic quality that a general should have.

Jia Rong is also very concerned about the war in Jingzhou, the information from the front line, no matter when, can be transmitted to him at any time, Jingzhou has become very important to the situation in the world, as long as Liu Bei is driven out of Jingzhou, the whole world will become at his fingertips.

Huang Zhong has besieged Xiangyang for a month, and the siege war is in full swing, what makes Huang Zhong anxious is that the defenders have something that can ignite a fire in an instant, and they are caught off guard, so that the siege soldiers have lost a lot, and with Zhuge Liang's help in the city, various means have emerged in an endless stream, including the means used by Jia Rong when he defended the city.

Xu Huang came, accompanied by a hundred cavalrymen, and with Huang Zhong's eyesight, he naturally recognized these as lone wolf soldiers at a glance.

"General Xu came from afar, I don't know what it is?" Huang Zhong sat on the top and set his eyes on Xu Huang.

"General Huang, the Holy Lord is very concerned about the war in Xiangyang, and specially ordered him to come here." Xu Huang said: "There are also ten packets of explosives, which are to support General Huang." ”

"Okay, with these ten packs of explosives, Xiangyang is not worried, General Xu, please wait and see." Huang Zhong stood up from his seat, his tone a little excited.

"General Huang, the sooner the war in Xiangyang, the better, Cao Cao in Yanzhou, I'm afraid he will be restless again." Xu Huang said with a smile.

At the same time, Zhuge Liang also wondered why he had never seen the weapon of the Xiliang Army that could blow up the city gate, all along, he had heard from the fleeing soldiers how powerful this weapon was, and in order to defend the Xiliang Army's means, he prepared a large amount of oil.

"General Zhou, the Xiliang army's attack on the city is becoming more and more fierce, let your soldiers come forward tomorrow." Liu Bei said.

Zhou Tai got up and said, "Swear to defend Xiangyang." ”

As long as there is a discerning person in the tent, you can see that Liu Bei is taking the opportunity to weaken Zhou Tai's strength, no matter how Zhou Tai explains, he is always a general recommended by Cai Mao, which is very important.

Zhou Tai took over the city wall, and when he saw the banner of the Xiliang Army floating outside the city, he was inevitably a little excited.

"Brothers, cheer up and let the other soldiers in Jingzhou see that the naval army can also defend the city and repel the Xiliang army."

"The general is mighty, the general is mighty" The soldiers shouted loudly, and their voices gradually converged.

Huang Zhong, who was outside the city, frowned slightly, and asked, "Do you know who the guards in the city are?" ”

"I don't know, looking at the banner, it should be the Jingzhou Navy, I really don't understand, Liu Bei actually sent the Navy's army to the city." Xu Huang said.

When Huang Zhong saw the big word "Zhou", he had a three-point understanding in his heart, and ordered: "When you attack the city later, don't work so hard." ”

Xu Huang was puzzled: "Why? ”

"This matter will be explained to General Xu later."

With Huang Zhong's order, the siege battle became thunderous and rainy, but the momentum was full.

Liu Bei suppressed Zhou Tai, and it was not easy to do it too obviously, so Zhang Fei replaced Zhou Tai on the second day.

Liu Bei naturally didn't notice the deliberate release of water when the Xiliang army attacked yesterday.

The siege battle intensified, and the siege equipment and material resources from the Luoyang side continued to come, and Jia Rong was determined to capture Xiangyang.

Guan Yu couldn't sit still, the Xiliang army was violently attacking Xiangyang, if Xiangyang was lost, there would be no point for him to guard in Nanjun, and to find out the transportation route of the Xiliang army, Guan Yu decided to take action to reduce the pressure on Xiangyang.

For the sake of safety, Guan Yu left Zhou Cang in the city, leaving 10,000 soldiers and horses, and 20,000 soldiers and horses intending to destroy the transportation route of the Xiliang army, and at the same time drove to Xiangyang to rescue Liu Bei, he is Liu Bei's sworn brother, and the danger of Xiangyang cannot be ignored, even if there was Zhuge Liang's order before.

Guan Yu just left the city, he was targeted by Jiang Yu, the three thousand cavalry he led, most of them were composed of Qiang people, Wuhuan people and Xianbei people, and they were all the masters who didn't want to die when they fought, and the movements of Nanjun were always being watched, he didn't want Guan Yu to intervene at such a critical moment.

About half a day out of the city, Guan Yu found the three thousand cavalry following behind, he was shocked, and hurriedly made a defensive posture, to Guan Yu's surprise, the three thousand cavalry did not take any action, but followed the rear of the army not far away.

In this case, Guan Yu still has the trouble of looking for the team of the Xiliang Army to escort the materials, I am afraid that even if he returns to Nanjun at this time, he will have to lose a layer of skin.

Guan Yu is also a person, he has been bullied by the Xiliang army one after another, he has already been angry in his heart, he has 20,000 soldiers and horses, from the scale of view, the Xiliang army is just 3,000 cavalry, there is no chance to defeat him, if on the battlefield, the 3,000 cavalry will be defeated, for Jingzhou, it will be a great encouragement.

Looking at Guan Yu's team that was moving very slowly, Jiang Yu showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth, he would definitely not let this team feel good, as for supporting Xiangyang, it was not to even think about it, looking at the entire Jingzhou, in a critical situation, only Guan Yu was the only one who could support Xiangyang, and the rest of the guards must strictly abide by the military orders issued by Zhuge Liang and stick to the city, if Xiangyang is lost, it is not their responsibility, and they can take the opportunity to surrender without any losses, why not, Zhuge Liang's starting point is good, But he didn't take into account the situation in charge of Jingzhou, the guards in various places have more or less a little connection with the family in Xiangyang, even if Liu Bei suppresses it hard, it is impossible to change the middle-level generals in a short period of time, in fact, the influence of the family in the army is still very large.
