Although the officers and soldiers of the Cao army fought to the death, their approaching forces were at an absolute disadvantage. The strength of these Lu Bu cavalry far exceeded their imagination and were finally defeated one after another, and the defeated generals escaped from the Xicheng Gate. After a bloody battle, the Lu Bu army finally occupied Puyang.

While Ailang ordered people to clean the battlefield, he ordered people to set fire to the warehouse. After a while, the flames rose from the warehouse area and became uncontrollable in the blink of an eye. Fortunately, the warehouse area is generally separated from other areas of the city, so the fire in the warehouse area will not spread to other areas of the city.

Ailang and others were completely burning and could no longer extinguish it, so they led the cavalry out of Puyang and continued to destroy other places.

At about the same time, on Jingzhou, Liu Bei's capture of Jingzhou was at its most critical moment. Liu Qi claimed that Cai Mao and his sister Cai conspired to kill his father Liu Biao to usurp the position of Jingzhou, and declared the Cai family a rebel. Then he gathered more than 100,000 troops from Nanjun to swore north to Xiangyang to attack the Cai family. Everyone in the army wore mourning clothes to show their intention of avenging Liu Biao. At the same time, at the invitation of Liu Qi, Liu Bei also went south from Xinye to join forces with Liu Qi at the city of Xiangyang.

For a moment, a large army gathered under the city of Xiangyang, and the sound of killing was shocking. Liu Cong was still a toddler. Facing this scene, he was already scared and trembled and soaked his pants. He didn't have to expect him to handle this matter at all. Cai was also panicked and at a loss. She originally thought that as long as her son Liu Cong inherited the throne, the soldiers and civilians of Jingzhou would naturally be loyal to each other, but she did not expect that Liu Qi would actually control the army of Nanjun and raise a great slander! At this moment, Cai could only turn to her good brother Cai Mao, "Brother, the situation is now serious, what should we do?"

Cai Mao was actually very panicked and frightened. After a while, he said, "Sister, you don't have to worry too much! Our Xiangyang city is high and the river is vast, and there is still a hundred thousand troops! Liu Qi and the others will definitely not be able to fight in!"

But Kuai Liang smiled bitterly and said, "Rumors are everywhere in the city now, and the people in the army are in panic. I am afraid that it will not take long before Liu Qi and Liu Bei will be able to enter the city!"

Cai Mao and Cai were panicked, and Cai said anxiously: "Mr. Kuai Liang, you are my husband's humeral counselor. Now the situation is in danger. We orphans and widows have no choice but to rely on our gentleman!"

Kuai Liang clasped his fists and said, "Madam, there is no other way now. He can only send someone to Cao Ren's army immediately and invite Cao Ren's army to Xiangyang for rescue! In this way, there may be room for maneuver!"

Cai immediately seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and said anxiously: "What I said is! What I said is! As long as Cao Ren's army comes, we will be able to rescue us!" Then he said to Kuai Liang: "Mr. I have been to Xuchang many times, and this time I have to trouble you to go this trip without hesitation!" Kuai Liang clasped his fists and said: "The first lord is as heavy as a mountain, and he should be obliged to be loyal to you!" Seeing this, Cai was only relieved.

At this time, the shouts and war drums outside seemed even more amazing, one after another, like the loud noise of the sea waves kept pouring in from the gate! Liu Cong was extremely scared, and immediately ignored his mother's previous teachings and hurriedly got out of the position and hid behind, revealing only half of his little head full of fear.

At this time, Cai was worried and annoyed, and didn't care about his son's poor image. He said to Cai Mao: "Let's go to the city gate to see! I want to ask Liu Qi, why did his lord die, bullied me, the stepmother so much!" Cai Mao looked happy and said with a longing look: "Sister is talking about it! Maybe Liu Qi was so guilty after being questioned by his sister, so he might not be sure to withdraw the army!"

Not long after, Cai and his younger brother Cai Mao came up to the city gate tower accompanied by everyone. Cai saw that the soldiers outside the city were like tide and army formations were as strong as mountains. The momentum that he wanted to question Liu Qi just now disappeared without a trace. He only felt his calves tremble and almost couldn't stand. Cai Mao was a general in the army after all, not as unbearable as Cai. He pointed at Liu Qi who was immediately in front of the army and scolded: "Rebel! You are so bold, you dare to lead the army to rebel!"

Liu Qi cursed angrily: "The thief who killed the lord and the lord dared to falsely accus me! My father, the governor of Jingzhou, died at the hands of your Cai family! My father was as kind as the sea to your Cai family, but you were ambitions to repay your grudges! I led the rebel army to Xiangyang today to avenge my father!" Then the officers and soldiers on the wall shouted: "Listen to the soldiers of Jingzhou! You are all my father's subordinates, and my father has never treated you badly. How can you help the evildoer? If you are still the officers and soldiers of my Liu family, quickly open the city gate to help me hunt and kill the thief!"

The officers and soldiers on the city wall were already a little frightened, and now they heard these words, and the morale of the army was even more turbulent. Many people had no good feelings for the Cai family. They immediately wanted to turn against each other, but no one took the lead, but they did not dare to act rashly for the moment.

Cai Mao and Cai were frightened, and Cai sang: "Liu Qi, don't talk nonsense! Cong'er's succession was the last order of his lord, not any conspiracy! You just wanted to be the lord of Jingzhou for your own selfish interests, and forgot the kindness of his father. Before his body was cold, you sent troops to bully my stepmother and bully your young brother! It is said that, 'The kind and righteous will enjoy prosperity, and the cruel will die soon'. You can treat my stepmother and your young brother like this. It is extremely cruel. Be careful that God will not let you go!"

Liu Qi laughed so much that he pointed at Cai on the top of the city and scolded: "What a thief woman who is so clever and black and white!..."

Liu Bei rode a horse to Liu Qi and whispered: "My dear nephew, quarrel cannot solve the problem. Now there is only the way of force in this situation!"

Liu Qi nodded, immediately pulled out his sword, raised it high, and shouted: "Beat the drum!" The sound of the war drums rumbled and the army was surging in battle, and shouted!

Seeing this, Cai's expression changed. Cai Mao said anxiously: "No! This thief is going to attack the city! Sister goes back first, I'll deal with them!"

At this moment, the city gate suddenly opened. Wei Yan rode his horse out of the city gate and shouted loudly to Liu Bei and Liu Qi: "Encourt, eldest son, please enter the city quickly and kill the treacherous slander of the Cai family!" Liu Bei's expression remained unmoved, but Liu Qi was overjoyed and shouted immediately: "Enter the city!" More than 100,000 troops rushed towards the city gate like a tide.

Cai stared at Wei Yan who was immediately under the city and scolded, "Wei Yan, we treat you well, you are so kind to repay you with grudges!" Wei Yan laughed and cursed angrily, "Bitch! How dare you say you treat me well! You are guilty of defamation. If you had not saved me, I would be afraid that your body would have been cold! Today, I will help you kill you and others who harmed Jingzhou!" Cai was shocked and angry, and couldn't speak. At this time, the army in the city was in chaos, and many people threw away their armor and fled into the city.

Seeing that the situation was over, Cai Mao said anxiously: "Sister, go quickly! It will be too late!" Then he led his personal soldiers to protect the Cai family and fled to the east.

His eyes turned back to Yanzhou.

It was said that Cao Cao was leading his army to Puyang, preparing to cooperate with Cai Yang to defeat Lu Bu. However, shortly after the troops left Xuchang, an urgent report came, saying that Puyang fell and General Cai Yang was beheaded by Lu Bu! Cao Cao was shocked and then cried: "It's a pity that Lu Bu actually defeated me as a general!"

Xun You hurriedly asked the visitor: "How is the food and grass in Puyang?"

The person came to the house said, "When the villain escaped from Puyang, he saw that the place where the food and grass were stored in the city was shining into the sky. It must have been burned by Lu Bu's army!"

Xun You said in disgrace: "The loss is huge now! More than 200,000 dan of food and grass!"

Cao Cao shouted angrily: "What is more than 200,000 harbors of food and grass? Even if it is two million harbors of food and grass, it cannot afford the life of General Cai Yang!" When the generals heard this, they were very moved.
Chapter completed!
