Chapter 680 Cai Family's Action

"Sister, don't you have to be so nervous?" The woman picked up the glass. As her arms kept shaking, the wine in the glass swayed from side to side, and then put it to her mouth and took a sip.

"Little sister, this task is very important. You must be careful in everything."

"I know." The woman said disapprovingly.

"Sister, when do you think we will go to find Cai Mao? It seems that he has never contacted Liang Guo. Is it reliable?

"Don't say more, the emperor has his own clear judgment."

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

The defense of Cai Mao's mansion is the most rigorous in the Jingzhou family. Not only the private soldiers in the mansion, but also many people and horses lurking in the dark. Of course, the monitoring component is still the main part.

"I didn't expect that there were so many people secretly monitoring outside Cai's mansion, and I don't know how Cai Mao got along?" The woman in black muttered dissatisfiedly.

"Let's not approach Cai Fu for the time being, so as not to be found by people with intentions."

"If you are not close to Cai Fu, how can you complete this task?"

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

However, anyone who has a little insight knows that Cai Fu will not be calm, so Cai Fu's surveillance power is the strongest. Except for the previous Kai Liang who entered Cai Fu, no one in the other family is willing to enter Cai Fu. No one wants to anger Liu Bei at such a critical moment.

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

The 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 it's a capital crime?

Seeing that Zhou Tai suppressed his voice very low, the two women smiled on their faces, but under the cover of the veil, Zhou Tai could not even tell whether they were men or women.

"General Zhou, did you forget to be holy?" The woman in black whispered.

Zhou Tairu was struck by lightning and stood still. The saint in the woman's mouth must be Jia Rong. Although he was dedicated to Jia Rong, for so many years, except for the time when he was in the Jingzhou Water Army, a lone wolf soldier came to contact him, and there was no news after that. How could he not be excited when he first heard the news of Jia Rong?

"Son of the Holy? Isn't he in the palace? With the protection of General Liu, I have seen him a few days ago. Being cautious, Zhou Tai replied cautiously.

"General Zhou, the little woman refers to the emperor of Luoyang."

"General Zhou, this is the will given to you by the emperor." Another woman in black took out the yellow silk cloth from her arms and handed it to Zhou Tai.

Zhou Tai knelt down on the ground with a plop. After three kowtows and nine bows, he took the imperial edict, and his expression was extremely solemn.

About a quarter of an hour later, Zhou Tai put away the imperial edict and said, "I already know it."

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

"General Zhou, I have been offended by what happened just now. Please forgive me. The little girl Li Ying, this is my sister Li Yu, who is currently the deputy commander-in-chief of assassination." Li Ying held the boxing.

"I didn't expect that General Li could shoulder 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 house recently." Li Ying reminded.

"General Li, don't worry, I have my own means."

After Li Ying and Li Yu left, Zhou Tai picked up the imperial edict on the table again and watched it repeatedly. He figured out the meaning, especially how Liangguo treated the Cai family. He must check it carefully. People in Jingzhou know that Cai Mao has a younger sister, who is Jia Rong's wife.

For a long time, Zhou Tai carefully relieved the imperial edict in his hand and muttered, "Xi Liangjun, Zhou Tai is back."

Zhuge Liang issued an order long before Huang Zhong besieged Xiangyang. The defenders in other parts of Jingzhou were not allowed to rescue Xiangyang without orders. This order brought great turbulence in Jingzhou. The emperor was in Xiangyang and was besieged by Liang, but the court issued such an order.

In all situations on the battlefield, Huang Zhong is not allowed to be negligent. Hundreds of scouts began to spread around with Xiangyang as the center and control the battlefield at any time. It is the basic qualities that a general should have.

Jia Rong is also very concerned about the war in Jingzhou. The information from the front line 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 ousted from Jingzhou, the whole world will become readily available.

Huang Zhong has been besieging Xiangyang for a month. The siege is in full swing. What makes Huang Zhong anxious is that the defenders have a kind of thing that can ignite a fire in an instant. Unprepared, the siege soldiers have lost a lot, and there are Zhuge's help in the city, and all kinds of means are endless, among which Jia The means used by Rong when he was defending the city.

Xu Huang came, and there were also a hundred cavalrymen with him. With Huang Zhong's eyesight, he naturally recognized these lone wolf soldiers at a glance.

"General Xu came from afar. I don't know what's going on?" Huang Zhongduan sat on the top and turned his eyes to Xu Huang.

"General Huang, the emperor is very concerned about the war in Xiangyang and specially ordered him to come." Xu Huang said, "There are still ten packs of explosives to support General Huang."

"Okay, with these ten packs of explosives, Xiangyang is not worried. General Xu, please wait and see." Huang Zhong stood up from his seat and said in an excited tone.

"General Huang, the faster the war in Xiangyang, the better. I'm afraid Cao Cao in Yanzhou will be restless again." Xu Huang said with a smile.

At the same time, Zhuge Liang was also puzzled why he had never seen a weapon that could blow up the gate of the Xiliang Army. For a long time, he had heard from the fugitive soldiers how powerful this weapon was. In order to defend the Xiliang Army, he prepared a large amount of fire oil.

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

Zhou Tai got up and said, "I swear to defend Xiangyang to the death."

As long as you are a well-sighted person in the account, you can see that Liu Bei is taking the opportunity to weaken Zhou Tai's strength. No matter how Zhou Tai explains, he is always a general recommended by Cai Mao, which is very important.

Zhou Tai took over the city wall. When he saw the Xiliang army flag floating outside the city, he was inevitably a little excited. Once upon a time, he also killed the enemy under this flag and worked for the Xiliang army.

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

"General is mighty, 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 will be the guard in the city?"

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

When Huang Zhong saw the big word "Zhou", he had a three-point understanding in his heart and ordered, "When you attack the city later, you don't have to 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 quiet, but the momentum was full.

Liu Bei suppressed Zhou Tai, and it was not easy to do it too obviously. The next day, he asked Zhang Fei to replace Zhou Tai.

Liu Bei naturally did not notice the deliberate release of water during the Xiliang army's attack yesterday.

The siege battle is getting fiercer and fierce, and the siege equipment and material resources from Luoyang continue to come. Jia Rong is determined to attack Xiangyang.

Guan Yu couldn't sit still. The Xiliang Army was fiercely attacking Xiangyang. If Xiangyang was lost, it would have no meaning for him to defend Nanjun. To find out the transportation route of the Xiliang Army, Guan Yu decided to take action to relieve the pressure on Xiangyang.

For the sake of safety, Guan Yu left Zhou Cang in the city, leaving 10,000 soldiers and horses. Twenty thousand soldiers and horses intended to destroy the transportation route of the Xiliang Army. At the same time, they went to Xiangyang to rescue Liu Bei. He was Liu Bei's righteous brother. Xiangyang's critical situation could not be ignored, even if there was Zhuge Liang's order before.

As soon as Guan Yu left the city, he was targeted by Jiang Yu. Most of the 3,000 cavalry he led were composed of Qiang Wuhuan and Xianbei. When fighting, they were desperate masters. The movement of Nanjun was always paying attention to it. He didn't want Guan Yu to get involved at such a critical moment.

About half a day after leaving the city, Guan Yu found the 3,000 cavalry behind him. He was shocked and hurriedly made a defensive gesture. To Guan Yu's surprise, the 3,000 cavalry did not take any action, but followed the rear of the army not far away.

Under such circumstances, Guan Yu has no trouble finding the team to escort supplies of the Xiliang Army. I'm afraid that even if he returns to Nanjun at this time, he will lose a layer of skin.

Guan Yu was bullied by the Xiliang army one after another, and he was already angry. He had 20,000 soldiers and horses. Judging from the scale, the Xiliang army only had 3,000 cavalry. There was no chance to defeat him. If the 3,000 cavalry were defeated on the battlefield, for Jingzhou, he would It will be a great encouragement.

Looking at Guan Yu's team, which was moving very slowly, Jiang Yu sneered at the corners of his mouth. He would never make this team feel good. As for supporting Xiangyang, you don't have to think about it. Throughout Jingzhou, only Yu can support Xiangyang under critical circumstances. The rest of the defenders must be Strictly abide by the military order 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. Why not? Zhuge Liang's starting point is good, but he did not take into account the situation in Jingzhou. The generals everywhere are more or less the same as the family of Xiangyang. With such a trace of connection, no matter how much Liu Bei suppresses him, it is impossible to change the intermediate generals in a short time. In fact, the family still has a great influence in the army.
