Chapter 658 Occupy Xiangyang
In Xiangyang City, Jingzhou, when he heard the good news about Liu Bei, Cai Mao, beside Liu Biao, immediately jumped out.
"Sir, if we do this, then we don't have to worry. As long as we can capture Yang Yang, what's the use of those Chu troops who invaded the city?" Cai Mao's face was full of smiles, and he no longer had the paleness he had before.
Liu Biao's face was full of smiles.
He patted Liu Bei on the shoulder: "Okay, Xuande, what you did is so good."
Liu Biao had always suspected that Liu Bei was a traitor, and he called Liu Bei aloof when discussing the matter. Now his tone is simply considered Liu Bei as his father, and he is so intimate. But it is no wonder that Liu Bei has made contributions now! And at this critical moment, this is Liu Biao's last life-saving straw.
If this time fails, then the Xiangyang City that he had worked hard to manage for several years would be occupied by the Chu State.
And he, Liu Biao, would also lose his last piece of land in Jingzhou. Except for Nanyang County, all counties in Jingzhou became the territory of Chu. Liu Biao was unwilling to see this happen, but he always believed that his subordinates did not have powerful generals like Huang Zhong, Han Dang, and Gan Ning.
In fact, it is true that if he had a powerful general under his command, he would not have been suppressed and beaten by Sun Jian alone.
As for the so-called Huang Zu killing Sun Jian, Liu Biao himself knew that it was just luck. Moreover, in order to improve his morale, he had to establish such an awesome hero.
"Xuande, if this time can be successful, then I will submit to the court and appoint you as the prefect of Changsha."
"Sir, you have a clear distinction between rewards and punishments!" Cai Mao quickly understood the mystery and responded with a smile.
Liu Biao was really good, and he had many twists and turns in his heart. The so-called "preaching the court" is just a form. If Changsha is in his hands, it is not his final say who is appointed as the prefect. But now he said he would submit the court to the prefect and grant Liu Bei the prefect of Changsha. What's more important is that Changsha is not in his hands at all. If Liu Bei wants to be the prefect of Changsha, he can only rob it himself.
Liu Bei was not a stupid person either, he immediately thought of this relationship.
But at this moment he didn't say anything, but just politely said: "Thank you, sir, this is just Xuande's job."
"Okay, a good job! If all officials in Xiangyang City have you realized this way, Xiangyang City would not have fallen to this level. Not to mention Yangyang, Chu State, even ten Yangyangs, ten Chu States could not break through the gate of my Xiangyang City." Liu Biao said passionately.
However, at this moment, another messenger ran in: "Report, report to the Lord, it is expected that the enemy will reach the governor's mansion after half an incense stick. Please transfer it to another place!"
Until this time, Liu Biao, Cai Mao and others realized that Huang Zhong had attacked in now.
"Brother Xuande, I wonder when Brother Yun will capture King Yang Yang of Chu and his men?" Liu Biao was not convenient to ask this question, but Cai Mao didn't care. Cai Mao's legs were trembling now. If Yang Yang and others were not captured, they would probably abandon the city and escape. If they did not escape, they would become prisoners of Chu.
When Liu Biao heard about Cai Mao's question, he also looked at Liu Bei with a gaze.
If possible, Liu Biao really wanted to call Liu Bei the boss, and hoped that Liu Bei would not play tricks on him at such a critical moment.
But Liu Bei has been following them all the time. How could he know the progress of Guan Yu’s arrest?
"This...this..." Liu Bei couldn't say a word for a long time.
"Report, report to Master Guan Yu for a visit!" At this moment, a notice sounded.
Liu Biao didn't even think about it and said directly: "Hurry, hurry, hurry, let General Guan come in." His anxious look made the informant stunned. When would Liu Biao be so anxious to see someone? It's really strange.
But no matter how strange it was, the man hurried out and called Guan Yu in.
I saw Guan Yu running in with blood, and I didn’t know if the blood on his body was the enemy or his own. Moreover, his face was extremely serious. However, as soon as he came in, Liu Biao couldn’t wait to ask: “General Guan, where is the person?”
Guan Yu was stunned, but he didn't react for a while. Because he didn't know that Liu Bei had told Liu Biao about his arrest of Yang Yang, he was stunned.
"You must have killed King Yang Yang of Chu? This is so bad. Now we are going to catch the dead!" Liu Biao's face was full of disappointment.
That expression was like a lottery player who won five million, but when he went to redeem the prize, he realized that he had misheard it.
However, Guan Yu knelt down with a "bang". His movement immediately made Liu Bei, Liu Biao, Cai Mao and others feel hearts. These people are all human beings, and when they see Guan Yu's movements, they know that something is wrong.
Sure enough, Guan Yu announced bad news as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Sir, Yun Chang is useless and has not brought anyone back to you." Guan Yu lowered his head after saying that, and just knelt down, without standing up.
As for Liu Biao, after hearing the news, his face turned pale and he didn't want to pay attention to them anymore.
Only Liu Bei asked, "Chang Yun, what's going on?"
"Sir, brother, Yun Chang found the traces of Han Dang, Dian Wei, Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue brothers and others in a house in the south of the city, and tried to capture them. However, they resisted stubbornly and fled from the house. The subordinates kept chasing them. Later, they arrived at a dilapidated temple in the south of the city. Originally, the subordinates wanted to take them down, but at this time Yang Yang arrived again, and then the soldiers of Chu State rushed over, and finally... in the end..." Guan Yu did not continue.
In fact, this is the case. At that time, Yang Yang originally wanted to let Han Dang delay time, but without saying a few words, the soldiers from Chu State came to support them, so there is no need to say what happened next.
After bloody battles, Guan Yu finally escaped!
Guan Yu's escape made Yang Yang sigh for a long time. He wanted to capture Guan Yu and then surrender the Uncle Guan. However, when he saw Guan Yu running away, he had to give up.
"Sir, since that's the case, I think we'd better run away. Yang Yang left a North Gate for us. If he didn't run away, it would fall into Yang Yang's hands. At that time, I don't know how he would torture us!" Cai Mao's voice trembled a little.
After Liu Biao looked at Liu Bei and Guan Yu, he nodded. His face turned pale and he didn't continue to say anything.
Chapter completed!
