Chapter 178 Break The City And Capture Liu Bei Alive For Me! 【3】
To the west of the city, the Qi army camp.
Nearly 50,000 Qi troops have already assembled and are on standby.
Liu Wu stood on his horse, his eagle eyes looking at the direction of Ximen from afar.
The moon has slanted to the west, and the agreed date is approaching.
"My son-in-law, will Wei Yan not keep his word and give up at the last moment?"
Cao Cao looked at Liu Wu, quite worried.
The voice fell.
Wen Chou's eyes narrowed, and he pointed at the top of the city wall and said, "Your Highness, the beacon fire has been lit on the top of Ximen City, and Wei Yan has made a move!"
Cao Cao's spirit was lifted, and he raised his eyes anxiously, and sure enough, he saw five beacon fires rising into the sky, illuminating the top of the city.
"My son-in-law, Wei Yan has indeed surrendered!"
Cao Cao was ecstatic and looked at Liu Guan excitedly.
An expected sneer flashed across Liu Wu's eyes, and the Overlord pointed at him with a halberd: "Every army obeys the order, enter Jiangling City, and capture the big-eared thief alive!"
The king's order was issued.
"Tom tom tom!"
The sound of war drums sounded suddenly, shattering the silence of the night.
The gate of the camp burst open.
Wen Chou, Xia Houyuan, Zhang Liao and other generals each led their own troops and rushed out of the entire camp like a torrent, looking at the west gate of Jiangling and attacking them.
The army poured into the city, and in a blink of an eye, a "Qi" flag was raised above the city tower.
Liu Wu also rode his horse and dragged his halberd into Jiangling City.
"The last general, Wei Yan, pays homage to Your Highness!"
Wei Yan had already guarded under the city gate, got off his horse, and Liu Wu bowed three times.
333 "Let's make peace, Chang Wen."
Liu Wu's eyes were full of admiration, and he praised: "This king can capture Jiangling, and the first contribution is yours. From now on, you will be promoted to the general of rebels, and you will be named Tinghou!"
Wei Yan was overjoyed and flattered to be rewarded so much.
He hurriedly bowed: "Thank you for your great reward, Your Highness, the final general will go through fire and water to repay Your Highness's kindness!"
Liu Wu laughed and said happily: "Master Wen, you speed up your troops and horses, go to the state capital to arrest Liu Bei, and I go to the water gate to intercept, today you must not let Liu Bei escape from Jiangling City!
"promise!"
Wei Yan took the order, led his troops and horses, and ran away.
Liu Wu rode lightly to the city, galloped along the city wall, took a shortcut and went straight to the south gate of Jiangling.
The state capital, Yintang.
It was late at night.
Liu Bei, however, was still awake, looking at his nephew Liu Pan, who had just brought back Zhuge Liang's letter from Wuling.
Previously, Liu Bei ordered the prefects of Wuling and Lingling to raise nearly 100,000 dendrobium grain and grass, which have now been escorted to the south bank of the Yangtze River.
This batch of food is extremely important to whether he can maintain a stalemate with Liu Wu.
So Liu Bei sent Zhuge Liang, Huang Zhong, and his son Liu Feng to cross the river to deliver the grain and grass in person.
Zhuge Liang claimed in his personal letter that the grain and grass were escorted smoothly, and that they could be transported across the river the day after tomorrow at the latest and arrived in Jiangling smoothly.
"With 100,000 Dendrobium grain and grass, the government will be more at ease."
Liu Bei heaved a sigh of relief, a relieved smile appeared on his pale face.
"One hundred thousand dendrobium grain and grass is enough for our soldiers and horses to eat for another three months, and it won't be a problem to stick to it for five months."
"In five months, Ma Teng should have led the Xiliang cavalry to break out of Tongguan.
Yiji also laughed.
Liu Pan even said with emotion: "When Liu Wu retreats to the north, my nephew will be the vanguard to recover the lost land for my uncle and revive my uncle's prestige!"
Liu Pan was originally Liu Biao's nephew, but he didn't use it for him. He was thrown in Jingnan for many years and had a grudge against Liu Biao in his heart.
After Liu Bei seized Jingzhou, he made great efforts to win over him and ordered him to assist Liu Feng and guard the important town of Jiangling.
Looking at the impassioned nephew, Liu Bei was very pleased, he laughed and said: "Pan'er, don't worry, there will be time for you to show your style!"
The voice fell.
There was a sudden sound of gongs outside the hall.
Liu Bei's expression was startled, and he asked anxiously, "Where is the gong sounding for warning?"
Liu Pan rushed out of the hall, raised his ears, cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Qi, the sound of the gong must be coming from the direction of Ximen!"
"Simon?"
"Could it be that Liu Wu launched a surprise attack on Ximen?"
Yiji couldn't help but get nervous.
Liu Bei pretended to be indifferent, and said disapprovingly: "Zhao Lei is on duty at the west gate, and he has two thousand soldiers. Even if Liu Wu makes a sneak attack, it's easy to resist for a while, so don't panic.
At that moment, Liu Bei put on his armor unhurriedly, and prepared to rush to Ximen.
Just when he just stepped out of the mansion.
A scout on horseback rushed over and shouted: "My lord, Wei Yan rebelled, attacked and killed General Zhao, and let the Qi army enter the city. The Qi army has entered Jiangling and is coming here!"
Thunder crashed.
Liu Bei, who had just got on his horse, swayed violently and almost fell off the horse, and the whip in his hand fell to the ground.
In an instant, his originally calm and calm expression was overwhelmed by shock and astonishment.
On the left and right, Yi Ji, Liu Pan and others were also shocked.
Wei Yan actually rebelled!
Also let the Qi army enter Jiangling!
Liu Bei's face was shocked, and his mind was stunned. For a while, he was so shocked that he was at a loss, and his mind was buzzing.
"My lord!"
"Military Master Kong Ming said that Wei Yan had a traitorous bone in the back of his head, and he really betrayed the lord!"
Yiji came back to his senses and shouted hoarsely.
Liu Bei's heart shook, and he suddenly came back to his senses, remembering what Zhuge Liang had said.
"Wei Yan, the dog thief, is indeed an unfaithful and unrighteous villain. The government should have listened to the words of Kong Ming's military adviser and executed him!"
Liu Bei was so remorseful that he gritted his teeth hysterically and cursed.
Liu Pan shouted anxiously: "Uncle, now is not the time to be angry, quickly gather troops and horses to rush to the west gate, maybe you can drive the Qi army out of the city and regain the west gate!"
Liu Bei had a cold war, and suddenly came to his senses, he shouted urgently: "Send the order, quickly gather troops and horses, and take back Ximen!"
His order has not yet been delivered.
On the west avenue, countless Jingzhou soldiers came rushing in.
The front of the Qi army had entered the hinterland of Jiangling at this moment, and was about to reach his state capital.
Yiji cried: "My lord, the general situation is over, Jiangling City cannot be defended, please evacuate quickly from the south gate waterway, and retreat to Jingnan!"
Liu Bei felt like being hit by a heavy hammer, and a stream of angry blood leaked from his mouth.
"uncle!"
"My lord!"
Yi Ji and Liu Pan hurried forward to support Liu Bei.
At this time, Liu Bei's face was ashen, distorted and distorted, with endless grief and anger burning in his eyes.
Xiangyang City has fallen.
If Jiangling City is lost again, the heartland of Jingzhou will be completely captured by Liu Wu.
He fled to Jingnan, relying only on the two small counties of Wuling and Lingling, how could he make a comeback!
The fall of Jiangling is the same as the fall of Jingzhou!
"Why, patriarchs of the Great Han Dynasty, why do you help that cruel descendant everywhere, and I, Liu Bei, are also your descendants, why do you always help that cruel descendant?
Liu Bei was in grief, indignation and despair, and roared to the sky. .
