Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Fu Xun invited Zhang Liao to the city for a banquet on Liu Biao's behalf. Zhang Liao said that the general must not leave his post without authorization, so he declined.

Fu Xun also asked Zhang Liao to station troops and horses beside the east gate, but Zhang Liao refused because Li Yi had ordered him to build a barracks outside the north gate.

Now Yuan Shu's main force is in the direction of the east gate, and some troops are in the south of the city. Zhang Liao must also go to the east gate to meet Yuan Shu face to face. In order to avoid being seen through by Liu Biao, neither Li Yi nor Yuan Shu is willing to have troops from both sides now. contact on the surface.

As for Yuan Shu, Zhang Liao took the initiative to send a letter to the effect that the young general is Zhang Liao under the Marquis of Xiang, how much he admires the king, and hopes to support him more in the future.

It may be that Zhang Liao's attitude was low enough, Yuan Shu not only replied to the letter as encouragement, but also sent a lot of money to Zhang Liao, so that Zhang Liao got a penny for nothing...

In the evening of another day, Li Yi's army was still about two hours away from Xiangyang. As usual, the army was about to stop at this time, but Li Yi ordered the soldiers to bury the pot and make food before moving on.

Ordinary soldiers only thought that Li Yi wanted them to join Zhang Liao on the road, and in addition to the military training in the past, they were also allowed to walk at night, so no one complained, but they were happy that they could rest and settle in the ready-made military camp tonight, so, Many soldiers quickened their pace subconsciously, but these guys were immediately reprimanded by their generals on the grounds that they could not be separated from the large group of troops when marching at night.

The soldiers are naturally obedient, and none of them dare to talk nonsense, not only because of the military order, but also because they feel that the generals today are different from usual, and the increasingly blurred figures in the darkness seem to have... ...Murder!

Chapter 402

Xiangyang City, Ximen.

Under the cover of night, three men in black robes crossed the moat in a small boat. One of them took out a torch and blew it, shaking it under the tower. He walked out with a torch, looked down at the black-robed man, then hurriedly bowed to him, and said in a low voice, "I've seen the Patriarch!"

If Liu Biao were here at this moment, he would definitely be shocked, because under the light of the torch, looking at his face, who else could the leader be Kuai Liang?

Kuai Liang's face was serious, changed from his usual easy-going manner, he just nodded his head without even ambiguity, and asked directly: "Is everything I have explained to you arranged?"

The captain replied: "All the guards at the west gate have been replaced, plus the military division, I can control most of the people patrolling the city tonight. Although we can't control all the other soldiers and horses, there are many generals above the captain in the city, especially Except for General Wang Wei, those school lieutenants who were loyal to Liu Shijun were all invited to a banquet by the military adviser, and as for the original garrison positions, they have been replaced by people who are friendly with us."

"it is good!"

Kuai Liang praised, and then said in a deep voice: "Lead the way ahead, be careful on the road, it should be about the same time."

"Here!"

The school captain responded, and immediately invited Kuai Liang to enter the city, and then several Kuai family dead men came out from left and right, hugged Kuai Liang together and boarded a carriage, and drove quietly towards Cai Mao's mansion in the dark night.

Kuai Liang sat steadily in the car, closing his eyes and resting his mind all the way. Others only thought he was calm and relaxed, but Kuai Liang himself knew that his palms were already full of sweat, and even his back was cold. one slice.

Kuai Liang's resourcefulness is not inferior to that of Kuai Yue, but he is not as cruel as Kuai Yue. This is the first time he has encountered such a thing today.

When the carriage stopped in front of Cai's mansion, when Kuai Liang got off the carriage, he could hear the sound of singing, dancing, silk and bamboo, which seemed extremely lively.

If it were someone else, he would have to scold Cai Mao in his heart for not being able to live up to expectations. Now that Xiangyang City is trapped by Yuan Shu and has lost consecutive battles, he still has the leisurely mind to have fun like this. But Kuai Liang knows that these songs and dances are not for appreciation, but for It was to cover up the sound of killing.

Someone from the Cai family had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw that it was Kuai Liang, they immediately led him into the mansion, and at the same time kept whispering to him about the situation inside. Cai Mao, who was toasting with the people present, had already seen him, and immediately stood up with a smile and said: "Everyone, there is a distinguished guest coming, please wait for me to welcome you, how about it?"

Everyone looked out of the door after hearing the words, but Kuai Liang was still wearing a black robe. Even if everyone stretched their necks, it was difficult to tell who it was for a while, but a few of them looked familiar to him, but they didn't look at Kuai Liang. to think about.

Everyone was looking outside and didn't notice at all that after Cai Mao said this, he retreated slowly. At the same time, dozens of warriors entered through the screen in the back hall, first bowing and walking in small steps. After getting close, I saw the few people in the front jumping over one by one, slashing at the back necks of the two captains sitting in the front!

"what!"

A scream came from behind everyone, and everyone who was looking out just now turned their heads, stunned, followed by dead souls, sweating all over their bodies.

I saw that one captain's head had been knocked off, and he was rolling on the ground like a gourd, while his body was covered in blood, and he was in a precarious state. The other captain's head was not lost, but it was tilted to the side, and he looked deader than the previous one. The situation is even worse.

Because they had already drank a lot of wine before, everyone reacted a bit slowly. It was not until another person was culled by the warrior that they realized that they were shouting and fleeing towards the door in a panic.

"Military division, why did you take my life!"

"Cai Mao, you are so bold. You killed your colleagues. Could it be that you voted for Yuan Shu!"

"You are not afraid of being punished by the envoy!"

"Military Master, my family and the Cai family are close friends!"

Everyone ran towards the door in a panic, but since Cai Mao set up this grand banquet, how could he not be prepared?

I saw that the crowd had just run a few steps, and another two hundred warriors poured in from the door, each of them had bright armor and raised their long swords forward. Although those generals had swords, their martial arts were not bad, but facing the formation, unless they Martial arts are superb, otherwise you will die if you rush up.

Helpless, everyone could only retreat step by step until they were besieged in the center by the warriors.

No matter how much these generals drank before, they are all sober now that they are being pointed at by hundreds of weapons, their faces are ashen, and they are terrified, especially when someone shouted indiscriminately just now that Cai Mao voted for Yuan Shu. Seriously, he thought that Cai Mao was going to take the lives of these people as a step forward.

Seeing that these people were trapped, Cai Mao first signaled to those who were blowing and beating to work harder, so as not to let the sound of shouting and killing spread, and then he cupped his hands to Kuai Liang: "Brother Kuai, the journey has been hard."

Kuai Liang had already walked into the hall at this time, tried not to look at the corpses, smiled and cupped his hands and said: "De Gui, long time no see."

Cai Mao was about to speak again, when he heard someone in the crowd glaring at Kuai Liang, pointing at Cai Mao at the same time, and shouting loudly: "Could it be that the eunuch wants to get along with this tease!"

Immediately, not only Cai Mao Kuailiang, but also those who were besieged looked at the person who made the sound. It was Wang Wei's son, Wang Yi!

Not to mention Cai Mao and Kuai Liang, the besieged generals looked at Wang Yi with mixed admiration and anger, which was very complicated.

What I admire is that Wang Yi really has the kindness. He has the same loyalty as his father. Even under the sword, his aura is not weakened. It's the backbone.

However, more people were annoyed at Wang Yi's confusion, and even looked at him with hatred.

It's time to wait, I don't want to beg for mercy and save my life first, but instead come up and scold the two of them together, is it because I am afraid that I will die soon enough?

Especially Kuai Liang, this is a good old man, you should ask him to be the best, how can you scold him?

There are also very few people who are more flexible in their minds. After seeing Kuai Liang appearing here, their thoughts suddenly increased.

The Kuai family, the Cai family, these two join forces, but they can overthrow half of Jingzhou.

Cai Mao cast a glance at Wang Yi, ignored him, and stood shoulder to shoulder with Kuai Liang in front of the crowd, saying: "Everyone, don't panic, just listen to what Cai said, how about?"

Cai Mao glanced around the crowd, although he didn't have a domineering halo, but a few hundred warriors standing around was more powerful than any halo, everyone basically lowered their heads, wanting to hear what was going on.

Even a young and hot-blooded person like Wang Yi remained silent for the time being. Compared to others, he knew better that those who were killed just now were all Liu Biao's confidantes.

Cai Mao continued: "What Cai did today was not out of selfishness, and you are also the backbone of Jingzhou. As long as you ask yourself about loyalty, there is no need to panic, because Cai will not use your heads to please Yuan Shu, the rebel People don't allow Cai to do this."

Hearing this, many people breathed a sigh of relief, they were not afraid that Cai Mao would kill someone, but they were afraid that Cai Mao would not survive.

After all, the vast majority of people here who had no grievances with Cai Mao in the past and have no grievances in recent days, on the contrary, are still flattering Cai Mao. As long as Cai Mao doesn't go crazy, they believe that they should not be Cai Mao's target.

However, what made everyone puzzled was that from Cai Mao's tone, there seemed to be someone behind him, and this person was obviously not Liu Biao, and Cai Mao himself said it was not Yuan Shu, so who else could it be?

It's a pity that although everyone is strange, their level is a bit low, and Li Yi's background is not good, almost no one can think of Li Yi. expression.

"hehe"

With a laugh, Cai Mao cupped his hands and raised his hands to the north, saying loudly: "Today, Cai was ordered by the imperial court to clear up the hidden dangers for Xiangyang. Yuan Shu!"

"what!"

"General Zhengnan?"
