A smile appeared on Wei Yan's face, and he replied:
"It's the general."
Cai Hao shouted again: "The general was also an official of our Jingzhou in the past, why did you invite troops to invade Xiangyang today and attack the old master?"
Wei Yan smiled coldly and said:
"I was in Jingzhou. I was often neglected and had little place to stand. Now, I will receive the kindness of my master Cao Ang, and I will be ordered to go south to cooperate with Prime Minister Cao's army to capture Jingzhou."
"If you wait to surrender, you may be exonerated. If you don't surrender, after Prime Minister Cao's army breaks through the city, you will be out of control."
As soon as these words came out, Cai Mao was really scared.
Riding on the horse, he stretched his head anxiously and asked:
"If I surrender, will the general keep Xiangyang safe?"
Without hesitation, Wei Yan said, "Of course it can be guaranteed."
Cai Mao got off his horse and said, "So, Jingzhou is willing to surrender the general, and I hope the general will keep his word and persuade Prime Minister Cao to retreat and keep Xiangyang safe."
Wei Yandao: "Okay, let my army enter the city, plant my banner on the top of the city, and Prime Minister Cao's troops will naturally retreat."
Cai Mao didn't dare to delay, and immediately led Wei Yan into the city.
Wei Yan was originally from Jingzhou and was very familiar with Xiangyang's defense.
He immediately divided his troops and occupied important positions.
Then he brought 3000 people and horses to the government office with Cai Mao.
Liu Cong's face was pale, and he took all the civil and military officials out to greet him.
Wei Yan has no interest in them.
Liu Cong invited Wei Yan into the palace for a banquet.
Wei Yan was not afraid, and happily went to the banquet with a few entourages.
During the dinner, Wei Yan got up to go to the toilet, and caught a glimpse of Mrs. Cai peeking behind the screen.
Madam Cai was tall and straight, with a graceful waist, and she was sitting kneeling behind the screen, holding a stunning beauty.
Although not as good as Daqiao Zhenji Diaochan, but she is graceful and graceful, not to be underestimated!
It is also a level of disaster for the country and the people.
Wei Yan was vigilant, and secretly thought that this woman was beautiful, but she had a deep scheming heart.
Such a woman will most likely cause trouble.
Find a way to get this woman away!
Back to seat.
Liu Cong came to toast again, bowed down to Wei Yan, and asked Wei Yan to ensure the safety of Xiangyang City.
Wei Yan glanced at the screen, and said: "I was ordered to go south to inspect the land in various states, and I have the right to kill first and then play."
"It's no problem to protect you in Xiangyang City."
"However, due to the accident in Jingzhou, the power has been transferred to the envoy, and the envoy should send someone close to him to Beijing as a hostage, so as to reassure the emperor."
Liu Cong heard this, but didn't know how to answer.
Cai Mao said, "General Wei Yan, my envoy doesn't have any sons or heirs yet, can this matter be postponed?"
Wei Yan smiled coldly and said: "If you have no heirs, you can let Mrs. Cai, the envoy's mother, come to Beijing as a hostage."
"There is no explanation for the emperor."
After listening to Liu Cong, his face became even paler.
Cai Hao's face was also dim, and he turned back, not knowing what to think.
Behind the screen, Mrs. Cai's complexion changed, and she screamed that something was wrong.
Soon, Cai Mao pushed that he was going to the bathroom, got up and left the hall, and went to the back to find Mrs. Cai.
Mrs. Cai said to Cai Mao: "Wei Yan will separate me and Cong'er as soon as he enters the city. If things go on like this, is it okay?"
Cai Hao said: "But...if Wei Yan is killed, how will Cao Cao's army respond?"
Mrs. Cai thought for a while, and came up with a bad idea, and said: "I don't think Wei Yan has many soldiers and horses, why don't we kill them tonight, and if we take them again, we may not be able to fight against Cao Cao!"
Mrs. Cai nodded and said: "Brother, this matter must be done sooner rather than later."
Their conversation was overheard by a nightingale guard who was pretending to be a maid, and then reported it to Wei Yan when he was refilling the wine.
Wei Yan smiled coldly, put down his wine glass, walked over to sit with Liu Cong, and put their arms around each other.
Cai Mao summoned fifty knives and axes to kill Wei Yan at the banquet.
But when he got to the hall, Wei Yan put his arms around Liu Cong with one hand, and touched the sword around his waist with the other.
He was talking drunk, but there was a murderous intent in the corner of his eyes!
Seeing this, Cai Mao knew that Wei Yan was not easy to deal with.
So he went over and persuaded: "General Wei Yan, my envoy is still young and can't bear the strength of alcohol. Please let the general let him go back to his room to rest. The next official will accompany my envoy on his behalf. I will let the general have a good time."
Wei Yan smiled coldly, and said: "I hit it off with the envoy, and I am about to invite the envoy back to my camp for a long talk all night."
Saying that, he grabbed Liu Cong with one hand and walked outside.
Cai Mao was worried about Liu Cong's safety, so he did not dare to pursue him.
After leaving the government office, Wei Yan ordered [-] soldiers to surround the government office, and no one was allowed to enter or leave the government office, which completely cut off the channels for them to transmit information to the outside world.
Moreover, let Liu Cong order the disarmament of the Xiangyang City army, and all the swords, guns and armor were obtained by Wei Yan.
The next day.
Liao Hua, Zou Tong and Li Kuang entered the city.
Each occupies the city gate.
Since then, Xiangyang City has completely fallen into the hands of Wei Yan.
At this time, Cao Cao's army had not yet crossed Xiangshui, and it was still more than ten days away from Xiangyang.
When Cai Mao and the others found out, they beat their chests and stamped their feet.
Around Xiangyang City, plus the Xiangyang garrison, there are no less than 8 people.
However, more than 1 soldiers like Wei Yan took Xiangyang without bloodshed!
Wei Yan also asked Cao Cao to report to Cao Cao on a flying horse, saying that Xiangyang City had been taken by him, so that Cao Cao could pursue Liu Bei with peace of mind.
After receiving the battle report, Cao Cao frowned.
Then he said to the generals around him: "This Wei Yan is really a general."
"It took only 3000 troops to capture Xiangyang and control Liu Cong. My son Cao Ang really knows people, hahaha!"
All the generals nodded their heads in agreement.
Cheng Yu stepped forward and said:
"My lord, in this way, our army will be able to pacify Jingzhou and capture Jiangnan in a short time."
"This unrivaled power to rule the world is just around the corner!"
Many people showed excited smiles when they heard this.
Starting from the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the world of great controversy that has lasted for decades, is it finally going to be unified in their hands?
However, Cao Cao knew it was not that simple.
Whether the world can be unified depends on whether Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and Sun Quan are alive or not.
Cao Cao waved his hands with a smile and said, "It's not that easy."
"Liu Xuande is the lord of peace, and Sun Zhongmou occupies the land in Jiangdong. If these two are not eliminated, the world will be uncertain."
"However, if Wei Yan takes Xiangyang today, our army can drive straight in and pursue Liu Bei."
"Order! Let Zhang Xiu bring [-] troops from the headquarters to Xiangyang and join Wei Yan to guard Jingzhou."
"Cao Chun, Zhang Yun and others followed Gu and led the tiger and leopard cavalry as the vanguard, chasing Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang."
Cao Cao gave an order.
The army divided into two groups, like two torrents, pouring into the land of Jingzhou.
Incorporate the territory of Jingzhou into the Cao family's blueprint for unifying the world.
Chapter 116 Liu Bei was defeated and his wife was in trouble
"My lord!!!"
"My lord!!!!"
On the march.
Sun Qian, who was as skinny as a stick, called from a distance, and rode his horse to catch up with Liu Bei.
Liu Bei was travel and dusty, and even his cloak was covered with dust. He was urging the soldiers and people to move forward with Zhao Yun, Jian Yong, and Mi Zhu.
On the way, people continued to join them, forming a huge and cumbersome team, slowly moving forward.
Seeing Sun Qian catching up, Liu Bei hastily reined in his horse and stopped.
Sun Qian got off his horse and said, "My lord, Cao Cao rode tigers and leopards as the vanguard, traveled hundreds of miles a day, crossed the Xiangshui River, and came in pursuit of our army!"
Liu Bei was startled:
"Has Bandit Cao not gone to Xiangyang?"
Sun Qiandao: "Then Wei Yan went and returned, and captured Xiangyang with [-] soldiers and horses. Cao Cao was free to lead his troops to chase our army."
Liu Bei opened his mouth in surprise, and said, "I never thought that Wei Yan's use of troops would be so dangerous!"
When Sun Qian saw the people on the road, supporting the old and the young, and pushing the ox carts, they could only travel twenty miles a day, and he was very anxious.
"My lord, Cao's bandit army is approaching, and the people are moving slowly, why not abandon them?"
After listening to Liu Bei, he said seriously: "Everything that has achieved great things since ancient times is based on the people."
"The people are attached to me, how can I abandon them?"
As he spoke, his face showed compassion and compassion, which made those around him feel sad and cry when they saw it.
Sun Qian still put Liu Bei's safety as the most important thing, and stepped forward to persuade:
"But, my lord—"
Liu Bei waved his hand to stop Sun Qian's words.
"If I abandon the people and ignore them, I will be in vain as a clan member of the Han family."
"I've made up my mind, there's no need to persuade me!"
Seeing that Liu Bei couldn't be persuaded, Sun Qian could only sigh.
He said in his heart that he would have to pin his head on the waistband of his trousers again, and follow Liu Bei to the end of the world.
In the team, there are only Liu Bei, Zhao Yun, Liu Feng and other generals.
Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang were missing.
Sun Qian asked again: "My lord, why don't you see General Guan and the military adviser?"
Liu Bei chuckled and said:
"The military division had expected it a long time ago, and took people to take Dangyang first, and Yun Chang was sent by the military division to capture Jiangling."
"Our army, as long as we cross Changbanpo and cut off the Dangyang Bridge, there is nothing we can do, hahaha."
After hearing this, Sun Gan felt relieved.
It turns out that the military division has already made arrangements!
The distance from here to Dangyang Bridge is not too far.
It will arrive in a few days.
