The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 295 Jingzhou changed hands
Chapter [-] Jingzhou Changes Owner
Three days after Liu Biao's grand celebration banquet, the meeting hall of Liu Biao's mansion in Xiangyang City is now lifeless, without the slightest joy of repelling Jiangdong's soldiers and horses.

Liu Biao's generals were all expressionless and buried their heads in silence. At this time, Liu Biao's face was also full of aging, as if he had experienced some catastrophe, and his eyes were dull.

"My lord, now Xiahou Dun's army has arrived outside Xiangyang City, please make a decision early." The lord Bo Kuailiang couldn't bear the silence at last, and spoke softly to Liu Biao, who was not downcast.

"My lord, the last general invites you to fight." Huang Zu, who was recalled, stood up angrily, and shouted loudly: "The last general is willing to fight the army to the death, kill Cao's army, and protect the lord and Jingzhou."

"The last general invites you to fight and swears to defend Jingzhou to the death!"

Under the leadership of Huang Zu, many generals of Liu Biao came out to fight.In an instant, the atmosphere in the conference hall was lively, and it was no longer as dead as before.

"My lord, now General Huang's soldiers and horses have returned to Xiangyang. The walls of Xiangyang City are high. In addition, the soldiers and horses brought back from the surrounding areas of Xiangyang City have a total of [-] people. The food and grass in the city are sufficient. You can defend Xiangyang to the death. Cao Jun has traveled far Come on, there must be insufficient food and grass, and we only need to defend Xiangyang City for a month, and Cao's army will retreat if they cannot attack for a long time." Kuai Yue hurriedly came out to offer advice to Liu Biao.

"Hey, just as you said, let Huang Zu be the general guarding the city, and all the soldiers in Xiangyang City will be mobilized by him. Go down." Liu Biao finished speaking weakly, got up and left, and let the following people look at me and look at me Look at you, and finally leave helplessly.

"Brother, Liu Biao has lost his vigor, even if he survives this calamity, he may not be able to do anything." After returning to the mansion, Kuai Yue said to Kuai Liang.

"Huh?" Kuai Liang listened to Kuai Yue's words, raised his right hand to prevent Kuai Yue from continuing, turned around to see that there was no one outside the door, and carefully closed the door. After the two sat down, Kuai Liang said: "I know you I mean, but we are a big family in Jingzhou, and we have followed Liu Biao for a long time, at this time of crisis, we should not do things like betraying the owner to seek glory, otherwise our Kuai family will be stigmatized forever."

"Brother misunderstood my meaning." Kuai Yue said softly: "Although there are [-] soldiers and horses in Xiangyang City and sufficient food and grass, the people's hearts are unstable and the army's momentum is low."

"Besides, Cai Mao has many cronies in Xiangyang City, and Cao Jun is an elite teacher. If Cai Mao secretly communicates with his cronies in Xiangyang City, and cooperates with the inside and outside, and Huang Zu is able to defend Xiangyang, it will be a matter of time before he fails. What I said in the conference hall today is just a matter of time." Just appease Liu Biao." Kuai Yue paused for a while, then continued: "We will not act as buyers, but we must not help Liu Biao too much, otherwise the day the city is destroyed, the Kuai family will be exterminated."

"Hmm!" Kuai Liang was shocked when he heard Kuai Yue's words, and then he realized that he nodded immediately, and decided not to take the lead in this Xiangyang defensive battle, and let things develop.

Anyway, their Kuai family is one of the most powerful clans in Jingzhou. As long as Cao Jun is not offended too much, after Cao Jun occupies Jingzhou, he still needs to rely on these clans to stabilize Jingzhou.

Liu Biao has no way out, even if he surrenders, he will spend the rest of his life under the supervision of others, but the Jingzhou clan is different, they have another way out, change masters, and the days to come will be happy and happy, and Cao Cao The strength of Liu Biao is much stronger than that of Liu Biao, and they can also rise with the tide.

"Report!" A waiter came to Huang Zu and reported: "General Qi, general Cao Jun was found three miles outside the city to observe Xiangyang City immediately, and the accompanying soldiers and horses were no more than [-] horses."

"Oh!" Huang Zu's expression changed when he heard this, and finally he led someone to quietly hide behind the battlements to observe the enemy generals outside the city.

"Huh?!" Huang Zu saw that the outside of the city was indeed as the waiter said, but there were only twenty riders, and he also found that the judge Cai Mao was among them.

"Cai Mao traitor, you are looking for death!" Huang Zu was furious. If Cai Mao, who was leading the army and defending Xinye, suddenly surrendered to Cao Jun, how could Liu Biao be in such a predicament now.

And because of Cai Mao's surrender, the entire north of Jingzhou surrendered to Cao Jun in Kaesong, which made Cao Jun come to the city of Xiangyang in three days. The originally good situation was reversed instantly because of Cai Mao's rebellion.

Originally, as long as Cai Mao persisted for one more day, his soldiers and horses would be able to reach Xinye. Cao Jun had no choice but to retreat, but before he led Jiangxia's reinforcements to arrive, news came that Cai Mao had surrendered to Cao Jun, and Cao Jun had entered Xinye.

What made Huang Zu furious the most was that Cai Mao actually wrote a letter to ask Liu Biao to surrender, which lowered the momentum of the entire Xiangyang city to the lowest point, all because of Cai Mao.

"Assemble the soldiers and horses, and fight out with me!" Huang Zu became more and more angry as he thought about it, and immediately assembled the army to fight out.

"No, general. I'm afraid this is Cao Bing's plan to annihilate." Lieutenant General Zhang Yun immediately stepped forward to organize Huang Zu.

"Hmph! If you don't kill Cai Mao, I'm not at ease. If you want to defend the city, I'll come as soon as I go." Huang Zu pushed Zhang Yun away, led his men and horses, and went out.

Not far away, Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue and others looked at each other, turned and left, each went back home, gathered private soldiers, and strictly guarded the house.

"Huang Zu's trick, withdraw!" Outside Xiangyang City, Xia Houdun, Cai Mao, Cheng Yu and others saw Huang Zu leading troops out of Xiangyang City.

"Kill! Cai Mao, the thief, don't go away, leave the dog's head behind!" Huang Zu saw that Cai Mao and others were about to enter the mountain, so he was in a hurry, so he speeded up and chased after him.

"Kill!" As soon as Huang Zu's soldiers and horses arrived at the foot of the mountain, there was a sudden shout of killing on the mountain, and countless feathered arrows shot at them, causing Huang Zu's soldiers and horses to be in chaos.

"Not good!" Huang Zu reacted immediately, knowing that he had been tricked, he immediately shouted: "Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

"kill!"

Just as Huang Zu was retreating with his troops, a group of men and horses rushed out from the mountains on the left and right sides, surrounded Huang Zu, and made Huang Zu have no way to retreat.

"No, General Huang is in ambush, gather your troops, and follow me to General Huang!" Zhang Yun on the tower of Xiangyang saw that Huang Zu was besieged, and hurriedly mobilized his troops to fight out.

"Kill!" Before Zhang Yun could reach the place where Huang Zu was besieged, another army and horse came out from the left and right sides of the city and surrounded Zhang Yun's army and horse.

"Huang Zu's head is gone again, you are still not surrendering!"

When Zhang Yun and his men were about to break out of the siege, Cao Hong, the general of the Cao army, came carrying Huang Zu's head. Zhang Yun's soldiers panicked and lost their spirits when they saw Huang Zu's head.

"Surrender..." Zhang Yun saw that Huang Zu was killed, and he was surrounded by the Cao Jun who came after him. If there were any soldiers and horses in Xiangyang City to rescue, he had no choice but to put down his weapons and surrender.

Huang Zu was killed, Zhang Yun surrendered, and after a period of chaos in the Xiangyang city tower, Cai Mao came outside the city. General Han Xuan opened the Xiangyang city gate and surrendered to Cao Jun. At this point, Xiangyang city fell into Xiahou Dun's hands.

Then Xiahou Dun ordered Li Dian, Le Jin, and Cai Mao to divide their troops to take Changsha, Wuling, Lingling, Jiangxia, and Nanjun, and Jingzhou all fell into Cao Cao's hands.
