With Yang Ling's order, Cao Jun immediately took action and took advantage of the night to head towards the other side of the river.

The south bank of the Han River.

Just after sending Yang Ling away, Wei Yan called all his cronies to his tent.

Looking at the dazed everyone, he also directly opened the skylight and said something bright.

"I have called you all tonight to inform you of something important."

Wei Yan paused and said in a deep voice,

"I'm going to take refuge in General Zhengnan!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the tent was in a commotion!

No one expected that Wei Yangang betrayed Cai Mao and Wen Ping and took refuge in Liu Bei, which would betray Liu Bei again!

But fortunately, they were all Wei Yan's cronies, and although they were surprised, they didn't do anything else.

Seeing this, Wei Yan nodded with satisfaction,

"You must have seen it in your eyes, I am sincere to Liu Bei, the big-eared thief, but how did he treat me?"

"Let's open the city gate for him and welcome him into Xiangyang City, if he doesn't reward me, forget it, and let the military advisor Zhuge Liang suppress me."

"You say, can we stand this anger?"

Wei Yan has a bold personality and is moral, and his friends are naturally these people.

Hearing his words, his cronies responded one after another,

"Of course I can't stand it!"

"The big-eared thief is the most shameless!"

Wei Yan pressed down with both hands, and waited until everyone calmed down, then smiled,

"It's not a secret, just now the general of the imperial court, Mr. Yang Ziyi, the son-in-law of the King of Wei, personally crossed the river and came to our army's camp."

"He attaches great importance to us and says that as long as we are willing to take refuge, he will definitely reuse us!"

"You say, what are we going to do?"

The people didn't think about it, so they said,

"It's the other way around! Anti-fucking! ”

"Good, anti-fucking!"

Wei Yan smiled bloodthirsty, took off the saber at his waist, and took the lead in walking outside.

A group of cronies also followed him.

They first came to a tent not far away, and when they heard movement outside, a disheveled literati rushed out in a panic.

After seeing Wei Yan, he was stunned at first, and then asked,

"Why is General Wen Chang stubborn, could it be that the Cao army is coming?"

This person is the prison army sent by Liu Bei and Liu Qi, who is responsible for monitoring Wei Yan.

Wei Yan let out a sinister laugh,

"Lao Tzu plans to do the opposite, you can go with peace of mind!"

The words landed, and the long knife in his hand slashed out.

The overseer didn't even have time to scream before he was slashed to death!

"You, you still have you, go and mobilize the army."

"For the rest, follow me to meet the general!"

Wei Yan gave an orderly order, took the remaining few cronies, and went to the shore of the Han River.

By this time the night was already deep, and the river was so dark that nothing could be seen.

At this moment, a light suddenly appeared in the distance.

Wei Yan was overjoyed, and hurriedly lit the torch in his hand and waved it.

After a while, I saw a dense number of boats, sailing from the darkness to a close place.

The ships on the north bank of the Han River were almost all destroyed when the defenders of Fancheng retreated.

In a hurry, Cao Jun could only rush out a batch of small boats.

It is said to be a small boat, but it is also extremely rudimentary, and can only be counted as a raft.

It is possible to barely carry soldiers, but horses, grain, grass, and ordnance cannot be transported at all.

Seeing this situation, Wei Yan was quite moved.

It seems that Yang Ling is extremely relieved of himself.

Otherwise, these Cao troops, who have no grain and grass and no war horses, will be able to eliminate them at any time as long as they are willing, and then go to Liu Bei to ask for merit!

Thinking of this, Wei Yan also strengthened his loyalty to Yang Ling!

"Where is General Wenchang?"

Yang Ling slowly walked down from a small boat.

"The last general has seen the general!"

Wei Yan hurriedly led a group of cronies to come forward and said respectfully.

"No need to be polite."

Yang Ling smiled and looked at Xiangyang City not far away,

"After I take Xiangyang City, I will reward you again!"

Wei Yan was overjoyed, and took the initiative to ask,

"The last general is willing to be the first to take Xiangyang City for the general!"

"Good!"

Yang Ling nodded, and said to Gan Ning and Ma Chao on the side,

"The two of you will work with General Wenchang to take Xiangyang City 1"

"Whoa!"

The two of them took their orders with a bang.

Wei Yan, together with Gan Ning and Ma Chao, took their respective soldiers and horses, and quietly touched Xiangyang City at night.

Dozens of paces away, he first stopped the army, and then swaggered forward with a few retinues.

"Come on, open the gates!"

The soldiers on the city wall heard the movement, poked their heads out, and recognized Wei Yan.

"General Wenchang, it's so late, what's the matter with you?"

"I have something important, I want to enter the city to meet Zhou Mu and Uncle Liu Huang, open the door quickly!"

Wei Yan pretended to be impatient.

"This ...... The state priest ordered a curfew and the door was not allowed to open at night. ”

The defenders on the city walls looked embarrassed.

"Cao Jun on the other side of the river has just made a move, and I want to report this matter to the state pastor. If you don't let me into the city, can you afford to delay the warplane? ”

Wei Yan threatened.

Hearing this, the guard sergeant was startled and hurriedly said,

"Please wait a minute, General, I'll open the door for you!"

After a while, the gate of Xiangyang slowly opened.

"General, please come in!"

The soldier who opened the door respectfully saluted Wei Yan.

Wei Yan sneered and glanced at the entourage left and right.

I saw them suddenly draw their weapons and rush forward.

The guards didn't even know what was going on, so they were hacked to death!

Wei Yan turned around and yelled outside,

"Do it!"

Gan Ning and Ma Chao outside the city did not hesitate, and immediately poured into Xiangyang City with their soldiers like a tide.

The Jingzhou soldiers at the city gate originally wanted to resist, but after being stabbed to death by Wei Yan and a few people, they no longer dared to resist and scattered!

Leaving a team of soldiers to guard the city gate and respond to the army behind, Wei Yan led Gan Ning and Ma Chao to rush towards the state pastor's mansion!

……

State Pastoral Office.

Liu Qi, who was keeping vigil in front of Liu Biao's coffin, was dozing off.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew, and the oil lamps in front of the coffin were blown out.

Liu Qi sneezed, looked at the extinguished oil lamp, and inexplicably had an ominous premonition in his heart!

Before he could call his servants and relight the oil lamp, he heard a chaotic sound of footsteps.

Wang Wei and Huo Jun, whose faces were covered in blood, stumbled in.

Both of them were military generals in Jingzhou, loyal to Liu Biao, and now in charge of military affairs in the city.

Seeing the two of them like this, Liu Qi's heart sank,

"Two generals, this is ......"

"The lord is not good, the Cao army has entered the city!"

Huo Jun said urgently.

"What?!"

Liu Qi was taken aback, and said in disbelief,

"Isn't there Wei Yan stationed outside the city, how could Cao Jun enter the city so quickly?"

"I heard from the guards that it was Wei Yan's rebellion and the introduction of Cao's army into the city!"

Wang Wei said helplessly.
