Chapter 521: The Raiders of the Decisive Battle

After Kuai Yue got the tiger talisman of the white-eared elite soldiers, he immediately took action.

At this time, it is noon.Liu Biao fell ill on the couch again because of the annihilation of the Jiangdong Navy.Mrs. Cai took the opportunity to ask Cai Mao to seal the government office under the pretext that Liu Biao needs to rest and cannot be disturbed.Without Cai Wan's order, no one is allowed to enter or leave the mansion.

At this time, Xiangyang, with Wen Chou's death, has no leader.

As the leader of the Jingzhou government, Cai Mao was in charge of Cao Shi, and became the most powerful official in Xiangyang City.When Liu Biao Wenchou was around, his role was not very obvious.But when Liu Biao and Wen Chou were gone, no one dared to question Cai Mao's warrant easily.

Even if some people feel strange, but at this moment, they dare not have any objection.

Kuai Yue led three hundred government soldiers, accompanied by Chen Min, to the barracks.He first summoned the officers with the tiger talisman of the white-eared elite soldiers, and then ordered Chen Min and dozens of fighters to attack suddenly in the big tent, killing all the officers, and then took the opportunity to control the troops.

The ancient army did not have the strict military discipline as the later generations.

A general is the courage of a soldier, and often when the leader dies, the soldiers and horses under him will be defeated.Although the white-eared elite soldiers are Liu Bei's elite, such a situation cannot be avoided.Especially when Wen Chou's head and the heads of dozens of officers appeared in front of them, the whole army surrendered.

In just one hour, Kuai Yue took control of the soldiers and horses in Xiangyang City.

******
The sky gradually dimmed.

Liu Biao suddenly woke up from the coma, and asked the people around him, "What time is it? Why didn't anyone wake me up?"

A gentle voice sounded in Liu Biao's ear: "Jing Sheng, it's already Youshi!"

Liu Biao turned his head to look, and saw Cai Wan sitting beside him by the candlelight.He couldn't help frowning, "Why is Madam here?"

Cai Wan sighed, "Jing Sheng, you and I are always husband and wife. Although you don't believe me, how could I abandon you when you were sick? You have been sleeping all day, are you hungry? Order someone to cook bird’s nest porridge, and then someone will bring it to you.”

Hearing these soft words, Liu Biao was also moved in his heart.

But then he remembered Cai Wan's background, and felt that there was an indescribable hypocrisy hidden in this woman's tenderness at the moment.

"No need... you go and let General Wen Chou come to see me!"

"Husband..."

"Go down!"

After Liu Biao finished speaking, he suddenly asked again: "According to the time, Yuan Jun should have arrived... You tell the outside, as soon as Yuan Jun comes back, let him come to see me immediately."

With a severe cough, Liu Biao felt extremely sad.

The annihilation of the entire Jiangdong navy made Liu Biao feel caught off guard.The Guanzhong water army had no power to fight back before. How could the Jiangdong water army disappear in the blink of an eye?Without the containment of the Jiangdong navy, can Nanjun still be preserved?
Liu Biao didn't notice that a fierce light flashed in Cai Wan's eyes.

She walked out of Liu Biao's bedroom, looked up at the dark night, gritted her teeth and said, "Liu Jingsheng, you forced me to do this, don't blame me!"

After walking out of the corner door, Cai Wan slapped her palms twice.

Dong Tie came out from the shadows and cupped his hands towards Cai Wan, "Ma'am, do you want to act now?"

"Did the third master ever tell you?"

Cai Wan knew from her elder brother Cai Mao that although the handsome man in front of her was not well-known, she had a very high status.

It is said that Dong Tie is called the shadow of Dong Bi, and Dong Bi grew up together and experienced many trials.

In contrast, although Sha Moke is Dong Bi's sworn brother, his degree of intimacy may be comparable to Dong Tie's.Cai Mao said: "Zirou once reminded me that Dong Yuanrong is a murderous master, even if the third master sees him, he should be courteous."

Facing such a person, no matter how arrogant Cai Wan was, she would not dare to show anything wrong.

Dong Tie said: "Madam, don't worry, the third master has already ordered!"

"In that case, please trouble General Lao Dong!"

After Cai Wan finished speaking, she walked towards her residence.That thin figure reveals an indescribable loneliness in the night...

Liu Biao, inadvertently, has lost his last chance!

Dong Tie stepped forward and pushed open the bedroom door.

"Liu Jingzhou, how have you always been?"

Dong Tie met Liu Biao.When he lived with Dong Pi in Luoyang, he met Liu Biao several times.Of course, Liu Biao didn't remember him.

"Who are you?"

Dong Tie looked at the panic on Liu Biao's face, smiled slightly and said, "The king of Liang ordered the villain to send his greetings to Liu Jingzhou and give him a big gift."

For a moment, Liu Biao felt a chill coming over him.

"You are……"

Dong Tie clapped his hands lightly, and a martial artist flashed out, holding a brocade box, walked into the bedroom, placed it in front of Liu Biao, and opened it gently.

Looking at the lights in the room, Liu Biao saw a bloody head.

Can't help but gasped, and shouted: "General Wen!"

Dong Tie said: "The King of Liang said that since Liu Jingzhou is unwilling to cooperate, he must be offended... Now the Jiangdong navy has been wiped out, and Zhou Yu died in battle.

Jingnan and Xichuan have a total of 20 troops. At this time, the siege of Nanjun must have started.Dudu Lu and Dudu Gan will attack Jiangxia by water, but they don't know Liu Jingzhou, so what are their plans now? "

Liu Biao suddenly shouted: "Come, come!"

Dong Tie pulled a chair and sat down, sighed and said: "Liu Jingzhou, since I can sit here, do you think I can call someone? Wen Chou is dead, and Xiangyang is under our control... We have also obtained Call Liao Li for your tiger talisman. Marquis Ban led [-] mountain barbarians and [-] fighters, and they are already waiting on the way. At this point, do you still want to continue your pointless resistance?"

Dong Tie spoke slowly, but every sentence pierced Liu Biao's heart like a sharp arrow.

Liu Biao grabbed the quilt and stared blankly at Dong Tie, "Who? Who... betrayed me?"

"You know it in your heart, so why ask again?"

Liu Biao's face was pale, "I just want to know, Wan'er..."

"The madam has already promised to marry my third master after the war... Don't blame her, the madam also wants to keep the young master for you."

"Shameless bitch, deserve to be killed, deserve to be killed!"

After hearing this, Liu Biao spurted out a mouthful of blood, and fell straight on the couch with his eyes closed, his face sallow, and he never got up again.

Dong Tie stood up and shook his head.

"It's said that beauty is a disaster, but you are the one who attracted this disaster!"

******
According to the arrangement of Liu Bei and Cao Cao, the two of them will be on the front to resist Dong Bi's main force.

In a small area, the thickness of the defense is increased layer by layer.If Dong Bi wants to break through the defense lines of Runan and Xiapipei counties, he will pay a huge price.

At the same time, in order to protect his own flanks and also to take precautions, Liu Bei sent someone to persuade Liu Biao to hand over Jiang Xia to Sun Ce to guard.In this way, once there is a gap in Jingxiang, Sun Ce can lead troops to quickly reinforce and assist Liu Biao in resisting the Guanzhong army.

If this was done in the past, Liu Biao would not agree.

But at the current juncture, even Liu Bei gave up Donghai County and Xiapi to Cao Cao, what else can Liu Biao say?The so-called concerted efforts must show enough posture.Especially after Zhou Yu's navy was destroyed, Liu Biao really needed help.

Therefore, Liu Biao readily let Jiang Xia out.

However, he kept his mind open and let Liu Qi take over Chai Sang, and at the same time appointed Zhuge Liang to assist Liu Qi.This was an exchange, and since Liu Biao had shown his sincerity, Sun Ce had no choice but to show his courage.In an exchange, they are actually wary of each other.

Liu Qi was ordered to go to Xiangyang, and Chai Sang was handed over to Zhuge Liang.

It was the New Year's Eve, and as the representative of the Jingzhou side, Zhuge Liang had to replace Liu Qi and arrive at Zhu County (now Xinzhou, Hubei) to discuss the military situation with Sun Ce.After all, on the one hand, they were responsible for covering Cao Liu's ribs, and on the other hand, they were also responsible for the materials ahead.

It was evening when Zhuge Liang arrived in Zhu County.

It stands to reason that this is the time for the dinner party.But Zhuge Liang found that Sun Ce's army was extremely busy, and the large tent of the army was brightly lit.

"Kong Ming, you came just in time!"

When Sun Ce saw Zhuge Liang, he immediately went to meet him.

He knew from Zhou Yu that Zhuge Liang was a talented person.Now, with Zhou Yu's death in battle and Chen Deng captured, Sun Ce is also short of major generals.Veteran general Cheng Pu was ordered to garrison Kuaiji, while counselor Yu Fan stayed in Kuaiji to assist Cheng Pu.

Sun Ce's hands are really short of manpower.

"I just got the news that there seems to be some problems in Jingbei."

Zhuge Liang was taken aback when he heard that, and blurted out, "What's the problem?"

"According to the detailed report, it is said that the Jingnan army's actions in Yiling are very strange!" Sun Ce pointed to the map and said: "The troops dispatched from Xichuan, after entering Nanjun, did not cooperate with Hu Zhao to besiege Jiangling. Instead, the general Yan Yan was the vanguard. , After crossing the road of Yi, turn to Yiling."

Everyone has their own magical powers!
It is not a matter of a day or two for Sun Ce to underestimate Jingzhou's ambitions.So he has his own set of intelligence methods, and Zhuge Liang knows it very well.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang was not surprised by Sun Ce's intelligence.

What surprised him was that the Xichuan Army did not besiege Han Song and Wei Yan in Jiangling, but instead turned to attack Yiling?
"Marquis Sun, Dong Xiping wants to give up Jiangling and take Xiangyang directly... This time he is preparing to fight the war in Jingbei. It is said that when shooting people, you should shoot horses first, and if you capture thieves, you should capture the king first. If Xiangyang falls, Jiangling will be counted Hold on, there is no point in the slightest!
Moreover, as long as he surrounds Jiangling and captures Xiangyang, he can directly threaten Nanyang.

I understand that Dong Xiping did not plan to fight Liu Bei in Runan on the battlefield of Jingyu at all.As long as he captured Nanyang, he would be able to form a flanking attack on Runan.If Xiangyang is lost, Nanyang will be destroyed; if Nanyang is lost, there will be chaos in Runan... If Runan is lost again..."

Zhuge Liang didn't continue, but looked at Sun Ce: "Marquis Sun, we must send troops immediately to reinforce Xiangyang."

Sun Ce nodded, "What Kong Ming said is exactly what I want. I have prepared troops and horses, and I am ready to rush to assist Liu Jingsheng in Xiangyang after dawn.

However, if I leave, this Jiang Xia..."

Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment, "If Marquis Sun believes in Kong Ming, Kong Ming would like to stay in Jiangxia temporarily."

Sun Ce looked Zhuge Liang up and down for a while, and suddenly smiled cheerfully, "Kong Ming, I believe you!"

It should be said that Sun Ce is also a person with great courage and vision, and he is very accurate in judging people, and he can employ people without suspicion, and doubt people without suspicion.

If you change someone, I'm afraid it will be difficult to trust Zhuge Liang.

But Sun Ce has the courage to hand over his back to someone who does not belong to him.

Therefore, in Romance, after Cao Cao heard the news of Sun Ce's death, he was relieved, and then he dared to fight Yuan Shao.

Zhuge Liang was not polite at the moment, and immediately discussed with Sun Ce.

The two talked all night long in the big tent.Before you know it, it's time for the golden rooster to announce the dawn.

Sun Ce put on his helmet and armor, ordered people to beat drums and raise tents, and prepared to assign tasks to help Xiangyang.But at this moment, a fast horse broke into the barracks.

The soldiers on horseback rolled down the case and said loudly: "I am the messenger of General Cheng Pu, I have something important to report to the lord."

Sun Ce heard the commotion outside the tent, so he walked out of the big tent of the Chinese army with his hand holding his sword, walked up to the soldier, and said in a deep voice, "General Cheng, what do you want to report?"

Seeing the soldier's disheveled and disheveled appearance, Sun Ce felt an ominous premonition.

The soldier took out a letter from his pocket and presented it with both hands.Sun Ce took the letter paper, shook it and glanced at ten lines.

His face suddenly turned pale, and his hands trembled slightly.

He said to himself: "How is it possible? How is it possible?"

Zhuge Liang hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Marquis Sun, what happened?"

Sun Ce took two deep breaths, tried his best to calm down, and let the guards around him take the soldier away.Then he turned and entered the big tent.

"Sunhou, what happened?"

Sun Ce bit his lip, and said word by word: "Jiaozhou is reversed!"

"what?"

"Damn Dong Bi, how could he appear in Jiaozhi? A force from the Guanzhong Army attacked Jiaozhi by surprise... Shi Xie, that fellow, surrendered!"

Like a thunderbolt, it exploded in Zhuge Liang's ears, and his hands and feet felt cold for a while.

Well, it's time to count down.
