But Liu Biao is also gambling, and Dian Wei does not dare to make decisions.

What if Cao Ang was angry and really attacked the city? Then Xiangyang is in danger.

Liu Biao returned to his mansion and immediately convened everyone to discuss the matter.

Everyone saw that Liu Biao's expression was wrong, and they all looked at Liu Biao suspiciously.

Liu Biao sighed: "Everyone, Dian Wei has already come just now, he said that Cao Ang wants us to go out of the city to talk, but the official is worried that Cao Ang is cheating, so he delays the time!" ”

"What? Cao Ang actually dared to send a messenger here, was he tired of it? ”

The crowd was shocked.

Liu Biao said: "Don't panic, I guess Cao Ang is testing the official's attitude, so the official used a strategy to stabilize him!" ”

Liu Biao secretly said in his heart: "Cao Ang, Cao Ang, although this official is old, he is not nonsense.

You want to force the official out of the city, but unfortunately the official has already guessed your thoughts, so he won't go out of the city easily. ”

Liu Biao secretly rejoiced in his heart, fortunately he was cautious, otherwise he would have been caught by Cao Ang.

"The lord must not, if you go out of the city to negotiate with Cao Ang Xiao'er, won't you fulfill Cao Ang's wishes?"

"Think twice, my lord, once you get out of the city, there will be no way for our soldiers to retreat."

The rest of the people persuaded one after another, hoping that Liu Biao would not take risks.

"That's it!" Liu Biao frowned and said: "This is also the purpose of my convening of your deliberations today, I don't know what your opinions are?" ”

The others glanced at each other, and then one of them arched his hand and said, "Lord, although Cao Ang is strong, it is impossible to attack our Jingzhou without scruples."

Therefore, the subordinates suggested that the wall should be cleared, and at the same time, through scout exploration, to prevent Cao Ang's sneak attack! ”

"Although this can temporarily resist Cao Ang, it will lead to the acceleration of our army's consumption of food and grass, and will eventually affect the combat effectiveness of our army." Another military general spoke.

The rest nodded in agreement.

Liu Biao squinted his eyes slightly, and said slowly: "Then according to your opinion, how to deal with it?" ”

"I think the lord can first pretend to agree to peace talks with Cao Ang, and wait until they relax their vigilance, and then suddenly send troops to catch Cao Ang off guard."

After listening to this, Liu Biao nodded, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Just do as you say!" ”

。

In the woods on the west side of Xiangyang, Cao Ang sat on horseback, staring at Xiangyang City with burning eyes.

Recently, he has been personally coming to inspect the situation in Xiangyang, especially the defenders in Xiangyang City, and he has always kept it in mind.

He knew very well that if he wanted to take Xiangyang City, it was not enough to rely on the existing forces, and he had to rely on the wealthy families within Xiangyang.

And the power of these wealthy families is far stronger than the outside world rumors.

"Childe, are you sure you really want to attack the city tomorrow?" Dian Wei asked in a low voice beside him.

Cao Ang glanced at Dian Wei and said lightly, "Do you think I still have the right to choose now?" ”

Dian Wei shook his head.

Cao Ang continued: "Moreover, this is the only chance, if you don't take this opportunity to take Xiangyang."

Once the wealthy families in Xiangyang unite, it will be even more difficult to take them down at that time! ”

"Childe is wise." Dian Wei exclaimed.

Cao Ang didn't say much, and looked at Xiangyang with solemn eyes.

If it had been half a month ago, he might not have had much confidence.

But now, he has enough confidence.

Because he has Xiahou Yuan as a tiger general in his hands, plus enough grain and grass materials, it is completely enough to sweep Xiangyang.

However, Cao Ang is not in a hurry, he needs to wait for the best time now.

As long as he finds the best time, he can lead a large army to attack Xiangyang.

Half a day later.

Cao Ang is in the army camp, and his recent life can be described as very comfortable.

His army besieged Jingzhou City to the point that it was impassable, and Liu Biao could only shrink in Xiangyang.

I'm afraid that this old thing can only continue his dream in a dream.

Thinking of this, Cao Ang was in a very good mood, he drank wine and ate barbecue, and from time to time teased a beautiful woman in the tent.

"Childe, when do you think we will attack the city?" A deputy general next to him couldn't help it when he saw Cao Ang's current state, so he asked him a question.

Hearing this, the others chimed in: "That's right! Childe, now our morale is high, if it drags on for another half a month, I'm afraid it will make Liu Biao's dog jump off the wall in a hurry! ”

After listening to the generals' words, Cao Ang didn't answer, he just smiled and shook his head and said: "Don't worry, everyone, wait for a while, and then start attacking the city after my son goes to visit some old friends!" ”

"I said it earlier, I thought so-and-so, hehe!"

Hearing everyone making fun of himself, Cao Ang's face sank and said, "Wait for me to get down and do things!" ”

After a while, everyone left one after another, and soon Cao Ang and the beautiful maid beside him were left in the entire big tent.

Cao Ang took the wine cup in the cup and drank it down, then put it down and said, "You guys also retreat!" ”

"Yes, Childe!"

The two of them left at the same time, and in a few moments, the whole tent was empty.

Cao Ang stepped down from the bed and walked towards the door.

"Squeak!"

The gate was slowly opened, and Cao Ang had just stepped out of the camp when a biting cold wind blew in his face, which suddenly made him feel much sober.

The night was dark, and there was no light in the sky except the stars, which was particularly gloomy and lonely.

"Whew."

A cold wind blew, making Cao Ang shiver violently.

He looked up at the dark night sky and muttered to himself, "I'm going to do it tomorrow!" ”

With that, he turned around and prepared to walk in the direction of the barracks, but at that moment, a streamer of light suddenly pierced the sky and flew towards him.

"Whoosh!"

A gleam flashed in Cao Ang's eyes, and then he subconsciously dodged sideways, and the streamer grazed the tip of his nose and nailed it to the stake in front of his right arm.

Cao Ang looked down and saw that it was actually a pocket arrow.

"There are assassins?!"

Cao Ang reacted immediately, drew his sword out of its sheath and pointed at the darkness and shouted, "Who is pretending to be a god and a ghost?" Get the hell out of here! ”

Unfortunately, there was nothing strange around, only his voice echoing.

"Is it really me who is too sharp?"

Cao Ang frowned and muttered to himself, then he put his sword into his sheath and prepared to return to the barracks.

However, at this moment, a black shadow pounced from the bushes on his left and stabbed straight at Cao Ang's chest.

"Look for death!"

Seeing this scene, Cao Ang roared angrily and swept with his sword.

"Bell!"

With a crisp metal collision sound, the man in black was directly shocked several meters, but his dagger was still against Cao Ang's neck.

"Who is Your Excellency? If you want money, just say yes! Cao Ang said in a deep voice, he knew that the other party was by no means an ordinary person.

"Huh!"

The man in black chuckled and said, "I am the one who has come to take your life!" (End of chapter)
