The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 505 504 Jingzhou Storm (16)

After listening to Yuan Huan and Wang Wei's words, Liu Biao said without any hesitation, "Then make a plan, try to bring Cai Mao into the city, and kill this traitor!"

But after a while, Liu Biao said with some hesitation: "It's easy to kill Cai Mao, the traitor, but Cai Mao's subordinates have [-] troops. What if they..."

Wang Wei said: "My lord, although Cai Mao has many subordinates, they are all followers of power. As long as Cai Mao dies, there will be no leader in the army. As long as the crime of Cai Mao's treason is made public, my lord will tell the soldiers that the crime is only Cai Mao's. One person, and the rest of the people will let the past go, if anyone persists in his obsession and follows Cai Mao in rebellion, he will be killed without mercy. In this way, I believe there will be many people who are willing to separate themselves from Cai Mao."

Yuan Huan said: "General Wang's plan is very clever. However, if you want to get rid of Cai Mao, you must get rid of Cai Mao's followers. Except for Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Cai Zhong, and Cai He are all Cai Mao's confidantes. They must be wiped out. , otherwise, once you get away from a person, it will bring unexpected consequences."

Wang Wei analyzed: "Cai Zhong and Cai He are Cai Mao's cousins, and they are important figures in the Cai family's clique. They must be eliminated. It's just that Zhang Yun can't be killed for the time being. He is the deputy governor of the navy. If Cai Mao Zhang Yun is dead, and Zhang Yun is also dead, so our Jingzhou Navy may not be able to find a competent general for a while. Although Zhang Yun is usually very close to Cai Mao, he is also an important part of Cai Mao's party. , but Zhang Yun has led the Jingzhou navy for many years and is very proficient in water warfare. If he is also killed, the strength of the Jingzhou navy will be weakened. What's more, the Jingzhou navy is half the sky of our Jingzhou army. If we lose the navy, It is equivalent to losing the entire Jingzhou, I hope the Lord will think twice."

"As the saying goes, weeds must be eradicated. Zhang Yun and Cai Mao have a deep relationship. If Cai Mao is dead, but still let Zhang Yun lead the navy, it will definitely bring unnecessary trouble to the envoy. If Zhang Yun returns to the army If you want to confuse the army, mobilize the army, and attack the envoy, it will be too late for the envoy to regret it!" Yuan Huan said from the side.

Wang Wei said righteously: "My lord, Zhang Yun must not be killed. Killing the navy will be useless!"

"My lord, if Zhang Yun is not killed, there will be future troubles. But if Zhang Yun is killed, the navy will only lose a commander. The soldiers of the navy are still there, and a talented person can be promoted from them to command the navy. How? Can it be said that it is useless?" Yuan Huan argued.

What Liu Biao heard in his left ear was Wang Wei's refusal to kill Zhang Yun, and what he heard in his right ear was Yuan Huan killing Zhang Yun. Both of them were right, but after weighing the pros and cons, Liu Biao still adopted Yuan Huan's suggestion. After making up his mind, he must kill Zhang Yun, otherwise, he will be in danger.

Liu Biao said: "Stop arguing, my government thinks Yuan Taishou is very right. If Cai Mao, Cai Zhong, and Cai He are killed, and Zhang Yun is released, and Zhang Yun is allowed to continue to command the navy, Zhang Yun will not be safe. I won’t attack this house. If Zhang Yun really rebels and leads a large army to surround us here, we have few soldiers, and we are definitely not Zhang Yun’s opponent. This house must not take this risk..."

"But my lord..." Wang Wei immediately remonstrated.

"Don't worry, it's settled like this. After you kill Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Cai Zhong, Cai He and other party members, you will temporarily serve as the commander of the navy and lead all the troops." Liu Biao said to Wang Wei.

Wang Wei said: "My lord, the last general doesn't understand water warfare at all, how can he command the water army?"

"Now we are on land, you don't need to know water warfare, just let me command the army." Liu Biao said.

Seeing that Liu Biao had made up his mind, Wang Wei stopped talking. He knew that Liu Biao's decision could not be reversed even if it was a bad idea.Therefore, Wang Wei could only cup his fists and say "Here", expressing his acceptance of Liu Biao's appointment.

After Yuan Huan heard the decision made by Liu Biao, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which was fleeting and no one saw it, and he thought to himself: "Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Cai Zhong, Both Cai He and the commander of the Jingzhou Navy are very proficient in water warfare. If they are wiped out this time, the Jingzhou Navy will no longer be able to find a comparable general. In this way, the Jingzhou Navy will be useless. In the future, when the King of Yan wants to send troops to attack Jingzhou, he no longer has to worry about the Jingzhou navy..."

Next, Liu Biao began to give orders, and asked Yuan Huan and Wang Wei to arrange the city gates. It looked as if a fierce battle had just taken place, and some people pretending to be dead were lying on the ground in the city. The red liquid formed by mixing together is regarded as blood, and is sprinkled all over the vital parts of the body.

The whole process was very quick, and Yuan Huan also prepared very well. The rest is waiting to see Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Cai Zhong, Cai He and others throw themselves into the trap.

Half an hour later, Cai Hao came with a mighty army. He saw traces of a fierce battle at the gate of the city, corpses were scattered all over the ground, thick smoke billowed from several places in the city, and the ground was even sprinkled with Some of Wang Wei's subordinates were cleaning the battlefield outside the city, carrying the corpse. There was a headless corpse hanging above the city gate. Judging by the clothes on the corpse, it was Yuan Huan, the prefect of Runan.

But at this moment, Wang Wei was waiting at the gate of the city with twenty or thirty soldiers, holding a bloody human head in his hand. Because his hair was scattered and covered his face, he couldn't see whose head it was.But Cai Mao could guess that the head in Wang Wei's hand should be Yuan Huan.

Looking into the city through the city gate, the wide streets are in a mess, and there are many corpses lying on the ground. There is no one in the whole street. It looks very depressed, which is very different from yesterday's prosperity.

Cai Mao smiled, this was exactly what he wanted to see after all his efforts, and he was very happy.

"Captain, it seems that Wang Wei has already killed Yuan Huan. In this way, as long as we kill Wang Wei again, Jingzhou will be under the command of the governor." Zhang Yun said from the side.

Cai Mao shook his head and said, "No! Not only Jingzhou, but I will also lead my great Chu army to sweep across the world, unify the whole country, deter the barbarians, and build a prosperous dynasty."

What Cai Mao said was exactly the same dream he had yesterday. As the saying goes, thinking by day and dreaming by night, it can be seen that Cai Mao usually daydreams a lot.

After Zhang Yun finished listening, he asked suspiciously, "Da...Da Chu?"

"That's right! The place where we are located used to be the Chu State. After I sweep the world, I will establish the Great Chu. At that time, I will make you a general and command the country's soldiers and horses!" Cai Mao said more and more, his eyebrows beaming. , so unhappy.

After Zhang Yun heard this, he immediately understood that Cai Mao was going to proclaim himself emperor!
"Thank you Your Majesty, I will do my best to assist Your Majesty and sweep the world!" Zhang Yun was also a shrewd person, and immediately flattered him.

After looking at Cai Zhong and Cai He beside Cai Mao, they looked at each other. Both of them sneered, as if laughing at Zhang Yun in their hearts. At the same time, they thought, if Cai Mao really became the emperor, then They have become princes, and from now on, they will be rich and prosperous, and they will enjoy it endlessly, and their children and grandchildren will last forever.

A group of people were immersed in such daydreams, and did not notice at all that the city that was about to arrive ahead was already full of murderous intent, and in a short while, they would become the souls of the dead under the knife, and they would do their work in the underworld from now on. Spring and Autumn is a big dream.

When Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Cai Zhong, Cai He and a group of people led an army to the gate of Pingyu County, Wang Wei walked straight towards Cai Mao with a human head in his hand, followed by [-] carefully selected soldiers. Selected guards, fully armed.

"See the governor!" Wang Wei walked up to Cai Mao and said respectfully.

Cai Hao waved his hand, signaling Wang Wei not to be too polite, then glanced at the head in Wang Wei's hand, and asked: "The one you are holding in your hand is the head of Yuan Huan, the prefect of Runan?"

Wang Wei said: "Exactly, please take a look at it!"

After finishing speaking, Wang Wei took two steps forward, held the human head in his hands, and presented it in front of Cai Mao.

Seeing that the head in Wang Wei's hands was too bloody, Cai Mao stretched out the horsewhip in his hand for fear of getting his hands dirty, gently brushed aside the messy hair, and saw the face of the head.

What stood in front of Cai Mao was not a human head at all, but a round ball of cloth. The hair was sewn on with needles and threads, but it had no face. On the place where the face should have been, there was a word "Cai Mao must die". big characters.

Cai Mao was taken aback suddenly, took a breath, and felt a chill on his back at the same time, and broke out in a cold sweat.

Before Cai Mao could react, he heard Wang Wei yelling: "If you don't do anything, when will you wait?"

As soon as the words fell, Wang Wei stretched out his long arm, and a huge giant hand directly pulled Cai Mao off the horse, and the thirty guards behind Wang Wei also rushed up, and Zhang Yun, Cai Zhong, Cai He, and Cai Mao followed him. The dozen or so generals who came in the army all got off their horses and tied them up with the ropes they had already prepared.

By the time Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Cai Zhong, Cai He and others realized it, they had already been tied up and reduced to prisoners.

Seeing this, the subordinates brought by Cai Hao immediately became nervous and rushed forward one after another, but just after walking less than two steps, the people who had already died on the battlefield suddenly started fighting one after another, all holding bows and crossbows, and their swords were on the verge of breaking out.At the same time, from the northwest and southwest directions of Pingyu County, a large army suddenly emerged, all fully armed, ready to fight, with bows and crossbows.

Liu Biao rode a tall horse, accompanied by Yuan Huan, and suddenly appeared in front of Cai Mao and the others, and said loudly, "Cai Mao conspired to rebel, he committed a heinous crime, and beheaded immediately!"

As soon as the words fell, Cai Mao was startled, and seeing Yuan Huan smiling at him, he realized that all of this was Yuan Huan's scheme. It's right, you shouldn't seek skin from a tiger.Now, no matter how much Cai Mao regretted it, it was already too late, but seeing more than a dozen executioners directly beheaded Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Cai Zhong, Cai He and others with butcher knives, blood splattered, one by one The head left the body in an instant, poor Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Cai Zhong, Cai He and others, before they had time to complete their daydreams, their heads were already in different places.

"The crime of Cai Mao's rebellion lies only with Cai Mao and others, and has nothing to do with you. If you want to follow Cai Mao's rebellion, you will definitely be punished. If you don't know anything about Cai Mao's rebellion, please drop your weapons and take the initiative to stand up. On the left, our government will not investigate anything!" Liu Biao rode his horse to the front, looked at the tens of thousands of sailors on the opposite side, and said loudly.

The soldiers of the navy didn't know about Cai Mao's conspiracy at all. Cai Mao was dead. They lost their support and lost their commander. To the left a large open space.

Tens of thousands of troops completed the action of abandoning their weapons in a very short period of time. Forty thousand sailors stood in the open space on the left with bare hands, waiting for Liu Biao's decision.

Liu Biao turned his face slightly and asked, "Prefect Yuan, what should we do next?"

However, Liu Biao waited for a while, but did not hear Yuan Huan's answer. He turned his head and saw that Yuan Huan was still standing beside Liu Biao and Wang Wei. Yuan Huan, who had been standing behind Liu Biao and Wang Wei, suddenly disappeared. Hearing a loud "bang", the city gate of Pingyu County was suddenly closed, and many soldiers appeared on the city tower, all of them were at war with swords, staring at Liu Biao, Wang Wei and others below the city.

Not long after, Yuan Huan appeared on the tower, glanced at Liu Biao's army below the city wall, and immediately ordered his confidants to climb to the top of the tower, waving an orange-red "Han" flag, waving desperately there.

Not long after the flag was waved, strands of Han troops in orange-red military uniforms rushed out from all directions. The shouts resounded through the wilderness, deafeningly loud. I don’t know how many people came. All I saw was a large black area on the ground, like a huge layer. The waves came roaring, instantly enveloping Liu Biao's army inside.

Liu Biao, Wang Wei and the others were taken aback, and Liu Biao was even more shocked. He raised his head to look at the tower of Pingyu County, and shouted to Yuan Huan, "Prefect Yuan, what do you mean? Do you want to betray me?" Is it the government?"

"Liu Shijun, Yuan Mou just pretended to surrender, and he didn't agree with each other sincerely, so why did he say betrayal? And I am an official of the court, so how could I surrender to you? You rebelled openly and committed a heinous crime. Now you have been punished by us. If you are sensible, order the whole army to lay down their weapons and surrender on the spot. If you are still obsessed with it, you will end up like Cai Mao!" Yuan Huan replied loudly, and suddenly his face changed, and he immediately ordered Said: "Let the arrow!"
