Xiliang Iron Cavalry

"Sister, don't you need to be so nervous?" The woman picked up the glass, and with the continuous shaking of her arms, the wine in the glass shook from side to side, then put it to her mouth, and took a sip.

"Little sister, the task this time is very important, you must be careful in everything."

"Understood." The woman said indifferently.

"Sister, when do you think we will go to Cai Mao? He seems to have never contacted Liangguo, is it reliable?"

"Don't say too much, the Holy Majesty has a clear decision."

After the patrolling soldiers passed by, the two women paid the money, walked out of the restaurant slowly, and disappeared at the end of the street very quickly.

The defense of Cai Mao's mansion is the most stringent among Jingzhou aristocratic families. Not only the private soldiers in the mansion, but also Liu Bei's men and horses lurking in the dark. Of course, the element of surveillance still occupies the main part.

"I didn't expect there to be so many people secretly watching outside Cai's mansion, and I don't know how Cai Mao is messing around?" the woman in black muttered dissatisfied.

"We still don't get close to Cai's mansion for the time being, so as not to be discovered by interested people."

"If you don't get close to Cai's mansion, how can you complete this task?"

"The situation in Jingzhou is critical. Cai Mao will definitely not stick to Xiangyang with Liu Bei. I am afraid that he has already made plans, and the key to our mission this time is to capture Xiangyang. Don't forget the order of the Holy Majesty."

But anyone with a little knowledge knows that the Cai Mansion will not be peaceful, so the Cai Mansion has the strongest surveillance force. Except for Kuai Liang who entered the Cai Mansion before, no one from the other aristocratic families is willing to enter the Cai Mansion. I don't want to anger Liu Bei at this critical moment.

"General Zhou?" In the middle of the night, such a voice suddenly came from Zhou Tai's ear, startled, and drew his sword out of its sheath.

Light gradually appeared in the tent. Zhou Tai saw two women in black sitting in the tent. He was shocked and couldn't help asking: "Who are you? Why did you break into the general's tent in the middle of the night? Do you know?" Know it's a capital offense."

Seeing Zhou Tai lower his voice, the two women smiled, but under the cover of the veil, Zhou Tai couldn't even tell whether they were male or female.

"General Zhou, did you forget about your Majesty?" the woman in black asked softly.

Zhou Tairu was struck by lightning, and stood there in a daze. The sage in the woman's mouth must be Jia Rong. After contacting, there was no news after that. How can you not be excited when you hear the news of Jia Rong at first.

"My lord? Isn't he in the palace? He is protected by General Liu, and General Ben met him a few days ago." Out of caution, Zhou Tai replied cautiously.

"General Zhou, the little girl refers to Luo Yang's Majesty."

"General Zhou, this is Your Majesty's will." Another woman in black took out a yellow silk cloth from her arms and handed it to Zhou Tai.

Zhou Tai knelt down on the ground with a thump, kowtowed three times and bowed nine times before receiving the imperial decree with an extremely solemn expression.

About a quarter of an hour later, Zhou Tai put away the imperial decree and said, "This general already knows about it."

The two women were quite satisfied with their reactions before and after seeing Zhou Tai. At least they had a strong sense of defense when dealing with unknown characters.

"General Zhou, I have offended you a lot in the incident just now, I hope you will forgive me, my little girl Li Ying, this is my younger sister Li Yu, who is currently serving as the deputy commander of the assassination." Li Ying cupped her fists and said.

"I didn't expect General Li to take on such a heavy responsibility at such a young age." Zhou Tai praised.

"General, you'd better be careful of Liu Bei, and don't go to Cai's mansion anytime soon." Li Ying reminded.

"General Li, don't worry, this general has his own means."

After Li Ying and Li Yu left, Zhou Tai picked up the imperial decree on the table again, looked at it repeatedly, and figured out the meaning, especially how Liangguo treated the Cai family, you must check carefully. Everyone in Jingzhou knows that Cai Mao has a younger sister. Jia Rong's wife.

After a long time, Zhou Tai carefully relieved the imperial decree in his hand, and murmured: "Xiliang Army, Zhou Tai is back."

Zhuge Liang issued an order long before Huang Zhong besieged Xiangyang. The defenders in other places in Jingzhou were not allowed to rescue Xiangyang without the order. This order still caused great turmoil in Jingzhou. The Holy One was in Xiangyang. Liangguo was under siege, but the imperial court issued such an order.

Huang Zhong did not allow negligence in all situations on the battlefield. Hundreds of scouts began to spread around Xiangyang as the center. Keeping control of the battlefield situation at any time was the basic quality a general should possess.

Jia Rong is also very concerned about the war in Jingzhou. Information from the front can be passed on to him at any time. Jingzhou has become very important to the situation in the world. As long as Liu Bei is driven out of Jingzhou, the whole The world will become at your fingertips.

Huang Zhong has been besieging Xiangyang for a month, and the siege battle is in full swing. What makes Huang Zhong very anxious is that the defenders have something that can instantly ignite a fire, and they are caught off guard, causing the siege soldiers to lose a lot. With the help of Zhuge Zhuang in the city, various methods emerged one after another, including the methods Jia Rong used when defending the city.

Xu Huang arrived, accompanied by a hundred cavalrymen. With Huang Zhong's eyesight, he naturally recognized these as lone wolf soldiers at a glance.

"General Xu came from a long way, I don't know what's the matter?" Huang Zhongduan sat on the head and cast his eyes on Xu Huang.

"General Huang, His Majesty is very concerned about the battle in Xiangyang, so he specially ordered me to come here." Xu Huang said, "There are still ten packs of explosives to support General Huang."

"Okay, with these ten packs of explosives, Xiangyang is nothing to worry about. General Xu, please wait and see." Huang Zhong stood up from his seat, his tone a little excited.

"General Huang, the sooner the battle in Xiangyang, the better. I'm afraid Cao Cao in Yanzhou will be restless again." Xu Huang laughed.

At the same time, Zhuge Liang also wondered why he hadn't seen the Xiliang Army's weapon that could blow open the city gate. All along, he had heard from the fleeing soldiers how powerful this weapon was. He prepared a lot of fuel for this method of defending the Xiliang army.

"General Zhou, the Xiliang army is attacking the city more and more fiercely. Let your soldiers go forward tomorrow." Liu Bei said.

Zhou Tai stood up and said, "Swear to defend Xiangyang to the death."

Anyone with a discerning eye in the tent can see that Liu Bei is taking the opportunity to weaken Zhou Tai's strength. No matter what Zhou Tai explains, he is always the general recommended by Cai Mao, which is very important.

Zhou Tai took over the city wall, and seeing the Xiliang Army flag flying outside the city, he was inevitably a little excited. Once upon a time, he also killed the enemy under this banner and served the Xiliang Army.

"Brothers, cheer up and let the other soldiers in Jingzhou see that the navy can also defend the city and repel the Xiliang army."

"The general is mighty, the general is mighty..." The soldiers shouted loudly, and the voices gradually gathered together.

Huang Zhong outside the city frowned slightly, and asked, "Do you know who the general guarding the city is?"

"I don't know. Looking at the banner, it should be the Jingzhou navy. I really don't understand why Liu Bei actually sent the navy to the city." Xu Huang said.

When Huang Zhong saw the big "Zhou" character, he had a three-point understanding in his heart, and ordered: "When you attack the city later, don't work so hard."

Xu Huang was puzzled and said, "Why?"

"This matter will be explained to General Xu later."

With Huang Zhong's order, the siege battle became thunderous and rainy, but the momentum was full.

Even if Liu Bei suppressed Zhou Tai, it was not easy to do it too obviously, so Zhang Fei replaced Zhou Tai on the second day.

Naturally, Liu Bei didn't notice the deliberate release of water when the Xiliang army attacked yesterday.

The siege battle intensified, and the siege equipment and material resources from Luoyang continued to come in. Jia Rong was determined to capture Xiangyang.

Guan Yu couldn't sit still, the Xiliang army was attacking Xiangyang violently. If Xiangyang was lost, it would be meaningless for him to guard Nanjun. After inquiring about the transportation route of the Xiliang army, Guan Yu decided to take action to relieve the pressure on Xiangyang. .

To be on the safe side, Guan Yu left Zhou Cang in the city with [-] soldiers and [-] soldiers trying to destroy the Xiliang Army's transportation route. At the same time, he drove to Xiangyang to rescue Liu Bei. He was Liu Bei's sworn brother. The crisis in Xiangyang cannot be ignored, even if Zhuge Liang ordered it before.

As soon as Guan Yu left the city, he was followed by Jiang Yu. The [-] cavalry he led were mostly composed of Qiang, Wuhuan and Xianbei people. Paying attention, he didn't want Guan Yu to step in at such a critical moment.

About half a day out of the city, Guan Yu found the three thousand cavalry trailing behind him. He was shocked and hurriedly made a defensive posture. To Guan Yu's surprise, the three thousand cavalry did not take any action. Follow the rear of the army.

Under such circumstances, Guan Yu would not have the trouble of finding the team for the Xiliang Army to escort the supplies. I am afraid that returning to Nanjun at this time will also lose a layer of skin.

Who is Guan Yu, who has been bullied by the Xiliang army one after another, and his heart is already angry. He has [-] soldiers and horses. Judging from the scale, the Xiliang army only has [-] cavalry. Opportunity, if these [-] cavalry are defeated on the battlefield, it will be a great encouragement to Jingzhou.

Looking at Guan Yu's team that was moving very slowly, a sneer appeared on the corner of Jiang Yu's mouth. He would never make this team feel better. As for supporting Xiangyang, he didn't even think about it. Guan Yu is the only one who supports Xiangyang. The rest of the guards must strictly abide by the military orders issued by Zhuge Liang and stick to the city. If Xiangyang is lost, it is not their responsibility. They can still take the opportunity to surrender without any loss. He Le Instead, Zhuge Liang’s starting point is good, but he didn’t take into account the situation that Jingzhou is in charge of. The guards in various places are more or less connected with the family in Xiangyang. No matter how hard Liu Bei suppresses them, it’s impossible In a short period of time, the middle-level generals have been changed over and over again. In fact, the influence of the family in the army is still very large.
