The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

"Sister Cai Yao!"

Among the many generals under Liu Zheng's command, the one who is closest to Cai Yao is Wenpin, because Cai Yao once served as a professor in a military academy for a period of time, and Wenpin is a student in the military academy. Yao is also the one who has met the most times, plus she already has some respect for Cai Yao, so the first time she saw Cai Yao was a pleasant surprise.

After all, Cai Yao disappeared for such a long time, and then suddenly reappeared, and she was always surprised to see her suddenly after she hadn't seen her for so long.

Cai Yao held the child in her hands, she couldn't say anything more to Wenpin, she just nodded her head, which was regarded as an answer to Wenpin.

And Liu Zheng started to ask.

"Wenpin, thank you for your hard work. Help me block Cai Mao and others here. This credit belongs to you."

Being praised by Liu Zheng so much, Wenpin immediately said modestly.

"Wen Pin doesn't dare to take credit for it. This is all arranged by General Gan Ning. General Gan Ning chose this place as an ambush point, so that Cai Mao's troops could not pass through here and go to support Xiangyang."

Liu Zheng was right when he thought about it, Gan Ning was originally a water thief near Dongting Lake, and must have known the surrounding terrain like the palm of his hand, and Su Fei, who was under Gan Ning, also knew the vicinity of Dongting Lake very well. When the two came here, they were almost as familiar as going back home. Let alone finding a place to ambush Cai Mao and others, it would not be a problem to fight a guerrilla war with Cai Mao here.

"Gan Ning also deserves credit. You are all together. This time you can help me bring Cai Yao back from Xiangyang. You have contributed the most. The next step is to get rid of people like Cai Mao."

"Xiangyang can be abandoned for the time being, but Changsha County must be taken. Taking Changsha means that most of Jingzhou will be in our hands. Relying on the land of these three states, we have the capital to compete for the world."

Liu Zheng said something to Gan Ning and Wen Pin. When they heard what Liu Zheng said about fighting for the world, they immediately became interested, and their eyes lit up immediately.

"Don't worry, my lord, now Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others are besieged by us here, we can go there and eliminate them at any time."

"As soon as they die, the soldiers and horses in Changsha City can only watch the wind and surrender."

Gan Ning was honest, and directly reported the current situation to Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng is also aware of the situation of Cai Mao and others, but the only thing he is afraid of now is that Cai Mao is Cai Yao's real brother after all, and this battle is not easy to fight.

Chapter 522 Shrink Defense

Talking about the relationship between Liu Zheng and Cai Mao, even though they knew each other, but if they really wanted to fight, Liu Zheng would not be merciful. Friendship belongs to friendship. Cao Cao and Liu Bei also have a deep friendship, but when they change to kill, they will not Mercy.

Besides, Cai Hao didn't have such a deep friendship with Cao Liu in Liu Zheng's heart. If there was a fight, Liu Zheng would definitely go all out.

But the situation is different now. Liu Zheng knows about Cai Yao's existence and that Cai Yao has his child. Then Liu Zheng will definitely be responsible. At least when he returns to his place, he will definitely hold another big wedding , and then marry Cai Yao, so that he and Cai Mao will become in-laws.

In this way, it would be embarrassing to kill Cai Mao.

Besides, Cai Yao definitely didn't want to see such a situation happen.

Therefore, when Liu Zheng faces Cai Mao, he still needs to think carefully.

However, this kind of thing does not need to be considered too much. When Liu Zheng captures Cai Mao alive, after some sensationalism, Cai Mao will definitely take refuge in him for the sake of Cai Yao and others.

Just as Liu Zheng, Gan Ning, and Wen Pin were discussing how to deal with Cai Mao and other troops, the horn of the army to charge came from the enemy's position.

As soon as Liu Zheng heard it, he knew that it was Cai Mao and others who couldn't bear their loneliness and charged again at the defensive position arranged by Wenpin, intending to break through Wenpin's block and rush out from the valley of Jiteng Mountain.

"Wenpin, you go to deal with those enemy troops first, and try to contain Cai Mao and others. They probably don't know that I have led troops here. I will wait for you to kill fiercely, surround them from the rear, and annihilate these enemy troops with one sentence. , when the time comes to capture those generals alive."

Liu Zheng quickly customized a battle strategy with a few words.Wenpin immediately took the order and led some of his remaining remnant army, and began to fight against Cai Mao and others' soldiers and horses.

On Liu Zheng's side, he quickly ordered Gan Ning to do a good job of encircling the outside. Don't let Cai Mao and these people go. Gan Ning's soldiers and horses will be surrounded outside. deserter.

The purpose of Liu Zheng's main army is to enter the battlefield at a critical moment and deal a heavy blow to Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's troops.

"Listen up, everyone, let's go."

Liu Zheng told Tai Shici and Zu Lang about his plan, and then planned to leave.

Tai Shici and Zu Lang immediately took orders to leave, but Cai Yao stopped Liu Zheng just as he was about to leave.

"What's the matter, Yao'er?"

There was some worry on Cai Yao's face, even though she hadn't spoken yet, Liu Zheng already understood what Cai Yao wanted to say.

"My elder brother him"

Cai Yao didn't elaborate, but only said a few words, and Liu Zheng already knew what she was going to say.

Immediately, he took Cai Yao's hand, patted the back of Cai Yao's hand, and comforted Cai Yao's worried heart with gentle touch.

"Don't worry, Yao'er, I know what to do, I won't make it difficult for you, just follow me, when the time comes, Cai Mao will not resist stubbornly if you come forward."

With Liu Zheng's words, the nervous look on Cai Yao's face made her look better. Without hesitation, she immediately hugged the child, followed Liu Zheng, and walked out of the camp together.

When Liu Zheng and the others came out, Wenpin, Tai Shici and others had already left for a while, especially Wenpin, who had already led the army to confront Cai Mao's men on the battlefield.

Liu Zheng didn't personally participate in the battle anymore. With Tai Shici and Zu Lang commanding the troops, it wasn't his turn to fight on the battlefield in person. He just needed to hold his son and watch the show from a high place.

Zhou Yu and Sun Ce followed behind him. Sun Ce didn't like the doll in Liu Zheng's hand, but Zhou Yu liked it very much, and would come up to tease the little doll from time to time.

Sun Ce is not interested because he has younger brothers, and there are more than one. Sun Jian is very capable in that area. Apart from Sun Ce, the eldest son, Sun Quan, who is now six years old, Sun Yi, who is four years old, and the newborn Sun Kuang.

The little doll looks cute, but it is really annoying when it is annoying, so Sun Ce is not interested in the little doll.

On the other hand, Zhou Yu, because he has no younger brother, and usually only adults play with him, and he rarely sees children, so he is a little more curious, and he has a great time playing with Liu Zheng's son.

Liu Zheng's youngest son didn't seem to dislike Zhou Yu either, and the occasional laughter made Liu Zheng let them play and focus on the situation on the battlefield.

This time, the battle was obviously fought by Cai Mao and others. In the previous attacks, either Cai Mao led half of the soldiers and horses to charge forward, or Zhang Yun led half of the soldiers and horses to charge forward, and some of them would always be left behind. People came to defend Gan Ning's troops.

But this time, Cai Hao and Zhang Yun did not choose to lead people to defend, but blindly attacked. The remaining part of the soldiers and horses all gathered in the direction where Wenpin was located, and began to charge and kill.

After a few days of hard work, the Ministry of Culture and Employment, with tens of thousands of soldiers under its command, has lost more than half at this time, but even though the casualties are heavy, they are still standing firm, firmly blocking the attack of Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's army.

After Liu Zheng saw that the battle was in a fiery state, he knew that he couldn't wait any longer. If he continued to delay, it would increase the casualties of Wen Pin's soldiers.

Therefore, he directly ordered that the two troops of Tai Shici and Zu Lang rush to support Wenpin, and at the same time, the two troops of Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were wiped out.

With Liu Zheng's order, Tai Shici and Zu Lang on the left and right wings did not dare to hesitate at all. They had already observed the situation on the battlefield and knew that they had to act at this time.

So he immediately led his subordinates and began to gather in the past, rushing towards the battlefield.

Tai Shici and Zu Lang led a total of 6000 troops.

Suddenly charging out from the valleys on both sides, the shout of killing was enough to surprise Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's soldiers who were fighting on the battlefield.

The appearance of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, the aura and movement cannot be underestimated, even the deaf can observe it through eyes.

At this time, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, who were commanding the battle in the core area of ​​the battlefield, saw that the enemy army had an additional group of soldiers and horses from all around them, and their expressions immediately changed drastically.

"What's going on, why does the enemy have reinforcements?"

"Impossible, how is it possible, Gan Ning's men are clearly behind us, why are there still people in front, where did they come from!"

"Shrink the defense, quickly, quickly withdraw!"

Under Cai Mao's nervousness, he did not forget to shrink his troops, only in this way would he not be scattered by the new troops.

Chapter 523 Surrounded

Once the camp is dispersed, even if Han Xin is still alive, it will be difficult to regroup the army.

But it is a pity that although Cai Mao has realized that they need to gather the troops, but because they spread the soldiers and horses too widely before, it is not easy to gather them in a short time.

Before all the troops were gathered, Tai Shici and Zu Lang had already led the troops to the front, leaving no time for Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and the others to react, just like this a fierce battle broke out at this time.

It is said to be a fierce battle, but it is actually a one-sided battle.

There were only more than 2 Cai Hao and Zhang Yun left. With this charge, the number of soldiers and horses decreased again, and Gan Ning's troops advanced from the rear, and there were more than 1 people from Tai Shici and Zu Lang. Enter the battlefield.

The number of people on the battlefield is entirely due to Liu Zheng's side, and the overall quality of the soldiers on Liu Zheng's side is several grades higher than those on Cai Mao's side.

So as soon as the battle came into contact, Cai Mao's side began to suffer a large number of casualties.

It didn't take long for Cai Mao and Zhang Yun to realize that there were too many casualties on their side, and fewer and fewer people could continue to fight. Anxious, I didn't have the mind to think about other things at all, but kept assigning the soldiers and soldiers around me to fight against the enemy.

Zhang Yun on the other side is not as calm as Cai Hao. After all, Cai Hao is a veteran who has been in the field for a long time, and it is not the first time he has faced such a scene. He has experienced even more desperate scenes. It's not a one-time defeat, so he can still maintain a calm command of his troops.

And Zhang Yun, after all, is still too young, and the Tucson pattern is broken. When he saw such a scene, he cried out of fright, rushed to the front where the two armies met in a panic, and fled back to the rear, but the rear was also the enemy. Unavoidable, he fled in all directions, crying loudly while walking around in panic.

And the guards around him were already scared out of their wits, and they didn't even care whether he was the chief general. Zhang Yun, who had thrown away his helmet and armor, could barely gather together if it wasn't for the people who could still see Cai Mao. In one place, I am afraid that I will surrender at this time.

Zhang Yun stumbled to find Cai Mao and asked Cai Mao for help. Cai Mao had no choice but to take some remaining troops and gradually support them. However, such support was useless. The fighting army gradually narrowed the scope of action.

In less than two hours, the more than 2 soldiers and horses that have already fought have only a few thousand soldiers and horses left.

Looking at his own troops, from the initial 4 people to only 6000 people around him now, Cai Mao felt a sense of powerlessness all over his body.

Now that he looks like this, even if he breaks through the siege of Wenpin and others, what can he do when he arrives in Xiangyang City.

A sense of powerlessness gradually spread to Cai Mao's heart, and he suddenly had the idea of ​​admitting defeat, but when he thought of that bastard Liu Zheng, Cai Mao gritted his teeth again, not wanting to just admit defeat like this, facing Liu Zheng, a heartless man, He wants to make the decision for his sister and settle accounts with Liu Zheng.

Absolutely throw in the towel.

When Liu Zheng's army gradually surrounded Cai Mao's men and horses, Tai Shici, Wen Pin and the others tacitly agreed not to order to continue chasing and killing them, but to surround rather than attack, and gradually forced Cai Mao's men and horses into a circular circle. place, and then waited for Liu Zheng to come and clean up the mess.

Seeing that the situation was settled, Liu Zheng also knew that it was time for him to play, so he led Cai Yao to the front of the team.

Cai Yao didn't let Cai Yao come out immediately, but went out first by herself.

"Brother Cai Mao is here."

Liu Zheng opened his mouth and yelled towards the opposite side.

At this time, because of the short distance and the fact that Liu Zheng's troops kept their mouths shut, the battlefield was quiet, and Liu Zheng's words could reach Cai Mao's side.

Cai Mao didn't directly hear Liu Zheng's words in the middle of the team, and some soldiers also passed the news to Cai Mao's ears. It didn't take long for Cai Mao to train his voice and came out.

"Liu Zheng, a dog thief, I didn't expect it to be you! Damn it, I fell into your trick again!"

At this time, Cai Hao didn't know the situation in Xiangyang. As soon as he saw Liu Zheng appearing here, he thought that Liu Zheng's troops were not going to Xiangyang at all, but deliberately went to Xiangyang for the purpose of letting Xiangyang go. The people in Changsha city had to go out of the city to Xiangyang by sending out people asking for help.

Then set up an ambush in the middle of the road, Cai Mao only thought that he had been hit by Liu Zheng's plan to attack east and west.

Liu Zheng smiled faintly when he heard Cai Mao's words.

"Brother Cai Mao, calling you big brother is a way to save face. Keep your mouth clean. After all, you will rebel with me in the future. The word dog thief is not good to describe yourself."

"Hey, I, Cai Mao, am loyal to the emperor and love the people, how could I join forces with you, a bastard!"

At this time, Cai Hao still seemed to have a bit of backbone, but in fact, he had some resentment towards Liu Zheng in his heart, resenting that Liu Zheng had failed his sister Cai Yao, so no matter what Liu Zheng said, he would not agree, he just wanted to I have had a good time with my mouth, but I can't beat it anyway, so I can only scold.

When Liu Zheng heard Cai Mao's words, he didn't say much, but turned his head and beckoned for Cai Yao to come over.

Cai Yao was worried about Cai Mao's safety. Although she heard Cai Mao's voice and knew that Cai Mao was fine, she still cared about Cai Mao. Under Liu Zheng's calling, she immediately walked out and saw Cai Mao not far away.

As soon as Cai Yao came out, there was no need to say anything to Cai Mao.

Cai Mao recognized Cai Yao by himself, and then turned pale with shock.

"Little sister!"

Cai Mao looked at Liu Zheng in panic, and then at Cai Yao. He almost felt that he had misunderstood. He took another look, and after confirming that the person opposite was his sister, he yelled at Liu Zheng.

"Dog thief, why is my sister in your hands? Isn't she in Xiangyang Caifu?"

Of course, Cai Mao didn't expect that Cai Yao came from Liu Biao and the others themselves.

"Of course I went to Xiangyang to pick her up. How about it? Can you consider surrendering now?"

Liu Zheng had a smile on his face, but this sentence hit Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Kuai Yue and others like a bolt from the blue.

Taking over from Xiangyang, so Liu Zheng really went to Xiangyang, and it is very likely that he broke Xiangyang City, otherwise, how could Cai Yao who was in Cai's mansion appear in Liu Zheng's hands.

Thinking of the destruction of Xiangyang city and the death of Liu Biao and others, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Kuai Yue and others could not even stand firmly.

Chapter 524 A Plan to Persuade Surrender

"No, it's impossible, how could Xiangyang City be breached so quickly!"

Zhang Yun was the first to panic.

Zhang Yun was the one who was most worried about an accident in Xiangyang, because once an accident happened in Xiangyang, it meant that something happened to Liu Biao, and if Liu Biao died, everything Zhang Yun owned would be completely over.

At this time, after Zhang Yun heard Liu Zheng's words, he seemed to lose his energy.

"Why panic? We don't know the situation in Xiangyang yet, so don't make wild guesses!"

Kuai Yue didn't show too flustered, he forced himself to calm down, and helped Zhang Yun cheer up by the way.

When Cai Mao heard Kuai Yue's words, he also did not believe that Liu Zheng's men could break Xiangyang City in such a short period of time.

So he hesitated for a while, and after hearing Liu Zheng's words, he immediately questioned Liu Zheng.

"Impossible, even if there are only a few thousand defenders in Xiangyang, it is impossible for you to break through Xiangyang in such a short time. Where did you get so many troops!"

Liu Zheng didn't want to scare them, so he simply said something to Cai Mao.
