Chapter 496: The Strange Soldier of the Decisive Battle

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

At this time, it was noon. Liu Biao fell ill on the bed again due to the defeat of the Jiangdong Navy. Mrs. Cai took the opportunity to use Liu Biao to rest and not be disturbed as an excuse to ask Cai Mao to block the government office. Without Cai Wan's order, no one was allowed to enter and exit the residence.

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

As a separate commander in the Jingzhou government, Cai Mao was in charge of military affairs and became the most powerful official in Xiangyang City. When Liu Biaowen Chou was there, his role was not very obvious. However, when Liu Biaowen Chou was gone, no one dared to question Cai Mao's handwriting anymore.

Even if someone is surprised, he dare not object at such a moment.

Kuai Yue led 300 soldiers of the palace and arrived at the barracks with Chen Min's company. He first summoned the officers with the tiger talisman of the white-eared elite soldiers, and then ordered dozens of martial artists including Chen Min to suddenly take action in the tent, killing all the officers, and then taking the opportunity to control the troops.

The army in ancient times did not have the strict military disciplines as in later generations.

Generals are the courage of soldiers. Often, once the commander dies, their subordinates will be defeated. Although Bai'er elite soldiers are Liu Bei's elite, this situation cannot be avoided. Especially when Wen Chou's head and dozens of officers appear in front of them, the entire army will be asked to surrender.

In just one hour, Kuai Yue controlled the troops in Xiangyang City.

*******

The sky gradually became dimming.

Liu Biao suddenly woke up from his coma and asked the people around him: "What time is it now? Why is no one asking me to get up?"

A gentle voice sounded in Liu Biao's ears: "Jingsheng, it's already Youshi!"

Liu Biao turned his head and saw Cai Wan sitting aside under the candlelight. He couldn't help but frown, "Why is Madam here?"

Cai Wan sighed, "Jingsheng, you and I are always husband and wife. Although you don't believe me, how can I abandon you when you are sick? You have been sleeping all day long. Are you hungry? I have ordered someone to cook bird's nest porridge, so that people will bring you here."

When Liu Biao heard these gentle words, he was also moved.

But then he remembered Cai Wan's origin and suddenly felt that there was endless hypocrisy hidden in this woman's tenderness and sweetness 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: "Calculate the time, Yuan Jun should arrive... Tell me outside that as soon as Yuan Jun comes back, he will come to see me immediately."

After a violent cough, Liu Biao felt extremely sad.

The entire Jiangdong Navy was wiped out, which made Liu Biao feel off guard. He had fought the Guanzhong Navy before, but why did the Jiangdong Navy disappear in the blink of an eye? Can Nanjun still be protected without the restraint of the Jiangdong Navy?

Liu Biao did not notice, and 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, don't blame me!"

Walking out of the corner gate, Cai Wan slapped her palm twice.

Dong Tie walked out of secret and bowed to Cai Wan, "Madam, are you going to take action?"

"Has the Third Master ever told you?"

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

It is said that Dong Tie is called the shadow of Dong Qi. He grew up with Dong Qi and has experienced many hardships.

In contrast, although Shamoke is Dong Qi's sworn brother, he is probably comparable to Dong Tie in terms of intimacy. Cai Mao said: "Zirou once reminded me that Dong Yuanrong is a murderer without blinking. Even if the third master sees him, he should be polite."

Facing such a person, even if Cai Wan is arrogant, she dare not show any inappropriateness.

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

"Since that's the case, I'll bother General Dong!"

After Cai Wan finished speaking, she headed towards her residence. Her thin back exuded endless loneliness in the night...

Liu Biao, inadvertently, had lost his last chance!

Dong Tie stepped forward and pushed open the bedroom door.

"Liu Jingzhou has always been good?"

Dong Tie met Liu Biao. When he lived with Dong Qi in Luoyang, he met Liu Biao several times. Of course, Liu Biao did not remember him.

"Who are you?"

Dong Tie looked at the panic on Liu Biao's face and smiled slightly, "King Liang ordered a villain to say hello to Liu Jingzhou and offer him a great gift."

In an instant, Liu Biao felt a chill coming.

"Who are you……"

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

Just as the lights in the room, Liu Biao saw a bloody head.

He couldn't help but gasp and shouted in dismay: "General Wen!"

Dong Tie said: "King Liang said that since Liu Jingzhou is unwilling to cooperate, he has to offend... Now that the Jiangdong naval army is destroyed, Zhou Yu is killed in battle.

Jingnan and Xichuan were joined by Xichuan, with a total of 200,000 troops. At this time, it must have launched a siege against Nanjun. Governor Lu and Governor Gan will attack Jiangxia from the water, but I don’t know what Liu Jingzhou is going to do now?"

Liu Biao suddenly shouted loudly: "Come, come!"

Dong Tie pulled a chair and sat down, sighed and said, "Liu Jingzhou, since I can sit here, do you think you can call someone? Wen Chou is dead, Xiangyang is under our control... We also got your tiger talisman and transferred Liao Li to come. Marquis of Shi led the eight hundred mountain barbarians and five hundred martial artists, and were already waiting on the way. At this point, do you still have to continue to make the meaningless resistance?"

Dong Tie spoke slowly, but every sentence was like a sharp arrow, stabbing Liu Biao in his heart.

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

"You know in your heart, why bother asking?"

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

"Mrs. I have agreed to marry my third master after the war... Don't blame her, my wife also wants to save the young master for you."

"Shameless bitch, you should kill, you should kill!"

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

Dong Tie stood up and shook his head.

"Everyone says that beauty is in trouble, but it is you who attracted this disaster!"

*******

According to the arrangement of Liu Bei and Cao Cao, they will resist Dong Qi's main force on the front.

In a small place, the thickness of the defense is increased layer by layer. If Dong Qi wants to break through the defense lines of Runan and Xia Pi Pei County, he will pay a huge price.

At the same time, in order to protect his flanks and also to prevent the situation, Liu Bei sent someone to persuade Liu Biao and hand over Jiangxia to Sun Ce to guard. In this way, once there was a gap in Jingxiang, Sun Ce could lead troops to support quickly and assist Liu Biao in resisting the Guanzhong army.

If it were done in the past, Liu Biao would not agree.

But at the current barrier, even Liu Bei gave up Donghai County and Xia Pi to Cao Cao. What else could Liu Biao say? The so-called concerted effort must be done to show enough attitude. Especially after Zhou Yu's naval army was destroyed, Liu Biao really needed help.

Therefore, Liu Biao gave up Jiang Xia very readily.

However, he was still scheming and asked Liu Qi to take over Chaisang. At the same time, Zhuge Liang was appointed to assist Liu Qi. This was an exchange. Since Liu Biao showed sincerity, Sun Ce had to show his spirit. In an exchange, he was actually guarding against each other.

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

It was the end of the year that as a representative of Jingzhou, Zhuge Liang had to replace Liu Qi and arrived in Zhu County (now Xinzhou, Hubei) to discuss military information with Sun Ce. After all, on the one hand, they were responsible for protecting Cao and Liu's liabilities, and on the other hand, they were responsible for the materials ahead.

It was evening when Zhuge Liang arrived in Zhu County.

Logically speaking, this was the dinner party. But Zhuge Liang found that Sun Ce's army seemed particularly busy, with the central army's tent and brightly lit.

"Kong Ming, you're here just in time!"

As soon as Sun Ce saw Zhuge Liang, he immediately met him.

He knew from Zhou Yu that Zhuge Liang was a talented man. Now, with Zhou Yu's death in battle, Chen Deng was captured, and Sun Ce was short of soldiers. The veteran general Cheng Pu was ordered to station in Kuaiji, while the adviser Yu Fan stayed in Kuaiji to assist Cheng Pu in his work.

Sun Ce is really short of manpower.

"I just got the news and found that there seemed to be some problems in Jingbei."

Zhuge Liang was stunned when he heard this and blurted out, "What's the question?"

"According to the detailed report, it is said that the movements of the Jingnan army in Yiling are very strange!" Sun Ce pointed to the map and said: "The troops dispatched from Xichuan did not cooperate with Hu Zhao to siege Jiangling after entering Nanjun. Instead, they took General Yan Yan as the vanguard and turned to Yiling after passing Yidao."

Everyone has their own magical powers!

Sun Cehu's ambition to look at Jingzhou was not a matter of one day or two. So he had his own set of intelligence methods, and Zhuge Liang knew very well.

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

What surprised him was that the Xichuan army did not besiege Jiangling, Han Song and Wei Yan, but instead turned to attack Yiling?

"Mr. Sun, Dong Xiping wants to give up Jiangling and seize Xiangyang directly... This time he is preparing to resolve the war in Jingbei in one battle. The so-called shooting of a man and shooting horses first, capturing the thief first. If Xiangyang falls, even if Jiangling keeps it, it will be meaningless!

Moreover, as long as he surrounds Jiangling and captures Xiangyang, he can directly threaten Nanyang.

I understand that Dong Xiping did not intend to fight Liu Bei in Runan on the battlefield of Jingyu. As long as he seized Nanyang, he could form a pincer attack on Runan. If Xiangyang was lost, Nanyang would be destroyed; if Nanyang was lost, Runan would definitely be in chaos... If Runan lost again..."

Zhuge Liang did not continue to say it, but looked at Sun Ce: "Mr. Sun, we must send troops immediately to reinforce Xiangyang."

Sun Ce nodded, "What Kong Ming said is exactly what I want. I have prepared my troops and prepared to rush to help Liu Jingsheng, Xiangyang after dawn.
To be continued...
