Lu Dynasty

Chapter 720
Cai Hao really didn't expect that although the families often fight openly and secretly for power, on the surface they are harmonious, and the assassination of the general's family like today has basically never happened!Besides, Cai Mao didn't understand, Huang Chengyan and Wenpin had a good relationship, logically speaking, they shouldn't have done such a murderous thing!In fact, this is Cai Mao's ignorance. The reason why Huang Chengyan murdered Wenpin's family was because of Zhuge Liang. Huang Yueying's escape from marriage not only made Huang Chengyan feel ashamed, but also made him feel ashamed of Zhuge Liang.Later, Huang Chengyan knew that Zhuge Liang was not doing well under Liu Bei's command. The main reason was that Zhuge Liang was not used, and Shamoke and Wei Yan didn't listen to Zhuge Liang, so Huang Chengyan found Wenpin, hoping that he could submit to Liu Bei and assist Zhuge Liang.In Huang Chengyan's view, Liu Bei is a rare enlightened master in the world, Zhuge Liang is a rare wise man in the world, and Huang Chengyan is a wealthy family in Xiangyang, so it is impossible for Wenpin not to give him face.As long as Wenpin surrenders to Liu Bei, with his ability, he will definitely be able to fully implement Zhuge Liang's orders.But Huang Chengyan didn't expect that Wenpin, a general from a humble background, just looked down on Liu Bei, turned a blind eye to Huang Chengyan's request, and took the initiative to resist Liu Bei's attack.Originally, Huang Chengyan didn't want to harm Wenpin, but Zhuge Liang, Sima Hui, and Pang Degong, who was about to fall out with Huang Chengyan, wrote together to ask Huang Chengyan to drop Wenpin, and even the plan was written.Huang Chengyan can only feel sorry for Wenpin because of his old friends and apprentices, plus the guilt in his heart!It's a pity that he didn't expect that their careful plan would be broken by a spy of our army!

Cai Hao was not stupid either. After killing the prison bosses and jailers, he sent the head of Liu Beijun’s secret agent along with the confession to Wenpin’s housekeeper to Jiangling, and returned the heads of the prison bosses and jailers to each family according to their surnames. Let them know that the military power is still in his hands, if you want to find something, you can weigh it yourself!Not to mention, Cai Mao's action made some small families to be honest, and the Huang and Pang families have no plans to tear themselves apart with Cai Mao for the time being, so they tolerated Cai Mao's rudeness.

Wenpin was very anxious when he heard that his family members were killed in Xiangyang, but he had no choice.Faced with Liu Beijun who came to the city every day to persuade him to surrender, Wenpin was shaken, but he was also worried that his family members would be fine. These were just rumors. If he really turned against him, it would be harming his whole family.Wenpin is hesitating, psychologically speaking, he is not optimistic about Liu Bei.What's more, his soldiers are basically Zhang Yun's, and Zhang Yun seems to completely listen to him now, but if he surrenders to Liu Bei, Zhang Yun will be the first to fight back, unless he can get rid of Zhang Yun first.

For a while, it was difficult for Wenpin to make a choice. In just a few days, Wenpin felt that he was almost ten years older.When Wenpin was hesitating and Jiangling's morale was low, Wenpin's housekeeper arrived with Cai Mao's gift.Looking at the pickled human head in the box, then looking at the confession in his hand and Cai Mao's letter of apology, Wen Pin was furious!He didn't expect that Huang Chengyan, whom he had always respected, would treat him like this, and he even didn't expect that a mat weaver and a mountain villager would come up with such a vicious plan.However, it was this poisonous trick that made Wenpin see through Liu Bei's essence.Although Wenpin didn't think highly of Liu Bei before, he never hated him so much!While Wenpin was gnashing his teeth, Liu Bei's surrender soldiers arrived at the city again.Wenpin picked up the longbow, and without waiting for the other party to speak, he shot it over with an arrow, and then heard Wenpin roar angrily: "Liu Bei, listen to me, if you want to take Jiangling City, you can follow me Wenpin!" Step over the corpse!" Wenpin shouted like a thunderstorm, and the school reported the words to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was shocked when he found out. He didn't understand that Wenpin was still hesitating yesterday, but he would not stop dying today.Zhuge Liang was not someone to wait for nothing, he just turned the feather fan in his hand, and said with a wry smile: "My lord, it is likely that our plan has been seen through!"

"Who else in Jingzhou can see through the plan of the military adviser? Could it be Kuai Yue Kuai Yidu?" In Liu Bei's mind, only Kuai Yue, a senior counselor, has not followed him, so he thought of Kuai Yue first.

"It can't be Kuai Yue!" Zhuge Liang sighed, "The brothers of the Kuai family have always been well-rounded. Although they have this ability, they will not offend the lord for Cai Mao. After all, they don't know who can take over Jingzhou. If the lord is one step ahead, even if the lord If Jingzhou cannot be occupied, his Kuai family will feel better!"

"Who could it be?" Liu Bei counted the talents in Jingzhou in detail. He felt that except Kuai Yue, no one should be able to see through Zhuge Liang's scheme.Suddenly, Liu Bei thought of Gan Ning, and he asked suspiciously, "Military Master, could it be Gan Ning?"

"Gan Ning is just a reckless man. If someone intervenes, I'm afraid it's Lu Feng!" Zhuge Liang said with a wry smile, "Lu Feng is always elusive, and no one can guess what he is thinking. If he really intervenes, we will We must retreat as soon as possible to avoid being cut off by him. With the strength of our army, there is really no chance of winning against Lu Feng head-on."

"Could it be that we can't retreat like this?" Liu Bei was really not reconciled, and they all went to Jiangling City, thinking that the meat was lost like this, not to mention Liu Bei, even Zhuge Liang was not reconciled.

Zhuge Liang thought for a while and said: "The day before yesterday I went to persuade Wenpin to surrender, and found that although Jiangling City was strong, the north of the city had a flaw, and the morale of the troops in Jiangling City seemed to be low. Why don't we forcefully attack the south of the city, and then let General Wei Yan lurk to the north of the city? , take advantage of Wenpin to attack us, and attack the north of the city, maybe we can take Jiangling!"

"Striking from east to west?" Liu Bei laughed and said, "This plan is very good, let's try it! If this plan fails, we will find another way." In fact, Zhuge Liang wanted Liu Bei to retreat, but Liu Bei blocked his words.If it was Zhuge Liang in history, he could fight Liu Bei head-on. After all, he had military exploits. Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, and Zhao Yun also admired him very much. But now, Zhuge Liang really can't refute Liu Bei.In desperation, Zhuge Liang could only try his best to help Liu Bei attack Jiangling.

The next day, Liu Bei sent soldiers to Jiangling City early in the morning. He ordered Sha Moke to attack the south gate, Liu Pan to attack the west gate, and Liu Feng to attack the east gate.Wenpin watched Liu Beijun's movements and knew that he was going to attack by force, so he also put the soldiers into a state of readiness.Originally Zhang Yun saw that Liu Beikong was going down to the north gate and would not attack, so he wanted to transfer soldiers from the north gate to other gates for defense, but Wenpin did not agree with Zhang Yun's opinion. For the reserve team, let Zhang Yun lead and support each branch.Although Zhang Yun was a little unhappy, Cai Mao asked him to listen to Wenpin, and he dared not object.Suddenly, there was a sound of clappers, and Liu Bei's army attacked the city!
