Chapter 349 Jingzhou changed hands
The situation is urgent, and waiting for an opportunity to control Jingxiang is indeed what Liu Bei wants. After some refusals, Liu Bei nodded and agreed. He looked at everyone and said seriously: "The situation is urgent now. General Liu Pan and General Wenpin
I don’t know what happened here, so I asked the general to go and explain it in detail, and also sealed the four gates to prevent the news from getting out, and at the same time, don’t let the poisonous woman escape.”
"Here!" Liu Pan stepped in and saluted, followed the order and left.
"The rest of the generals immediately contacted their respective tribes to assemble and prepare to encircle and suppress the Cai family and the Zhang family!" Liu Bei then looked at the other generals who were following him. These people were also powerful figures in Jingzhou and took the opportunity to take back military power to themselves.
"Here!" the generals agreed and left.
After all the generals were arranged to go out, and only Chen Gong and Zhang Fei were left, Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief, and the matter came to an end here.
"My lord wants to take control of Jingzhou, so he must quell the civil strife as soon as possible. Sun Ce has now begun to attack Fancheng. If Sun Ce learns of the civil strife in Xiangyang, he will definitely take the opportunity to cross the river to invade." Chen Gong looked at Liu Bei and bowed.
Liu Bei nodded. He naturally knew this. He must gather all the forces that Jingzhou can muster before Sun Ce crosses the river. And Jingzhou's forces are mainly concentrated in Nanjun. At least he must ensure that Nanjun is worry-free.
According to Zhuge Liang's plan, after Liu Bei took control of Nanjun, he would try to form an alliance with Sun Ce instead of continuing the war.
But no matter what, he had to get hold of Nanjun as soon as possible before he could talk about anything else.
"Yide, go and gather the troops we can mobilize here. This battle must end as soon as possible!" Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei and said solemnly.
"Brother, don't worry!" Zhang Fei nodded sternly, then turned around to assemble his men.
On the other side, when Liu Bei and others came in, Cai knew that she could no longer control the overall situation, so she made a prompt decision and quietly left the palace with a few of the guards left by Cai He to find Cai He and Zhang Yun.
"Sister?" Cai He was a little surprised when he saw Mrs. Cai and stood up quickly.
"Hurry up and gather your troops!" Cai took a breath and said, "Inform the whole city that Liu Bei and Liu Pan are causing trouble and have murdered my husband and Liu Qi, and I have ordered the generals to attack them."
"Liu Qi is dead?" Cai He was overjoyed when he heard this. He naturally knew about Liu Biao's death. Now that Liu Qi is dead, doesn't it mean that Liu Cong is the only heir to Jingzhou?
"It's not as simple as you think. How could Liu Bei let us succeed so easily? Liu Pan has been in charge of Xiangyang's army for a long time and has many cronies in the city. At this time, he must have begun to gather troops and prepare to seize power. He must defeat the enemy quickly, and it will be too late.
Then there will be a change!" Cai shouted.
Cai Mao's surrender made the Cai family quite passive. Now the Kuai family, Huang family and Pang family have begun to draw a clear line with the Cai family. If Liu Bei cannot be suppressed at this time, they will fall into a passive position. The only way to do this is to kill Liu Bei, Liu Pan and others.
People, only then can the Cai family truly gain sovereignty. At that time, whether it is surrendering to Jiangdong or fighting against Jiangdong as the lord of Jingzhou, the Cai family will be able to take the initiative.
"Don't worry, sister, the troops have already been assembled. I will lead the troops to put down the rebellion!" Cai Hesurong said.
Cai nodded and asked Cai He to leave before asking someone to bring Liu Cong. Because Liu Biao was already dead, in order to avoid an accident, Liu Cong had already been secretly sent to Cai's house by Cai. Fortunately, Liu Cong was not killed by Liu Bei.
Wait for others to intercept and take them hostage, otherwise, they will be quite passive at this time.
In Xiangyang City, soldiers and horses from all walks of life began to gather one after another. Liu Pan had already found Wenpin, but Wenpin did not agree to the request to send troops together to quell the rebellion: "Zhongye, the King of Chu was harmed by a poisonous woman. It is time to assemble now."
We have troops to avenge the King of Chu, why are you still hesitating!?"
"What is the evidence?" Wenpin frowned and looked at Liu Pan.
"I saw it with my own eyes. When the eldest son and I saw the lord, the lord's body had been cold for many days. The eldest son was also harmed by the poisonous woman. How can it be false?" Liu Pan looked at Wenpin and asked: "Could it be that I am also involved?
You don’t believe it either?”
After Wenpin was silent for a moment, he shook his head and said, "Pin can help the general close the city gate, but Pin doesn't know the whole story. Although the lady is mean, if according to what the general said, the only successor to the King of Chu is Cong."
The general wants to kill his mother now, but has he ever thought about the future?"
Liu Pan shook his head and said: "I only respect my uncle. I have witnessed the hatred between my uncle and the eldest son with my own eyes. This revenge must be avenged!"
As for Mr. Li Cong, Liu Pan instinctively rejected him because he was born to that woman after all.
"Sorry, I can't accept this!" Wenpin shook his head and sighed.
"Okay!" Liu Pan nodded and said, "Then seal the four gates. You don't need to worry about things in the city. You can worry about it after the winner is decided!"
Wenpin nodded, he could agree to this. He was in a dilemma now. On one side was the hatred of the King of Chu, and on the other side was the mother of the new king. It would be great for Wenpin not to participate in this battle.
Liu Pan failed to persuade Wenpin to join the war, and many of his soldiers followed Liu Hu to Fancheng to defend the enemy. Their strength was greatly reduced. Now they can only gather some of them first and meet with Liu Bei before discussing countermeasures.
On the other side, after Zhang Yun received Cai He's notice, he immediately gathered his private soldiers to fight towards the Chu Palace. The Cai family has been in charge of the military power in Jingzhou for many years. Although many military positions have been deprived of their positions due to Cai Hao, they still have
Many old troops were willing to serve the Cai family. During this period, Cai He and Zhang Yun secretly transferred them to Xiangyang and appeared as private soldiers. Now they have gathered together to become a huge force.
Outside the palace, Wang Wei has gathered his troops. Although there are not many, Wang Wei feels guilty, so when he sees Zhang Yun leading his troops to kill, he is quite brave and leads his troops to kill without saying a word.
Although Zhang Yun had many soldiers and horses, he could not display them in the streets and alleys. He was defeated by Wang Wei who led hundreds of people to kill them in one fell swoop.
Liu Bei stood on the turret of the palace and watched this scene, and couldn't help but praise: "I didn't expect this Wang Wei to be so brave!"
"My lord, Wang Wei's troops are not enough after all. Although he is strong at this time, if it continues, Zhang Yun may be defeated." Chen Gong looked at the men and horses brought by Zhang Yun and frowned. Wang Wei's troops were too few and he was brave for a while.
Nor can it make up for the huge gap in military strength.
"Ming Yide rush out from the flank, and together with Wang Wei, defeat Zhang Yun!" Liu Bei nodded. He is also a man who knows soldiers. Morale on the battlefield is important, but if the strength of the troops is too disparity, no matter how high the morale is, it will be useless.
.
Chen Gong nodded and asked people to shoot loud arrows to recruit Zhang Fei to come to his aid.
On the other side, Zhang Fei had gathered his men and ran over. When he saw Liu Bei's signal, he immediately urged the soldiers to go faster, whipping the soldiers from time to time, and yelling at the same time: "Faster!"
Under Zhang Fei's rude urging, the soldiers quickly rushed to the battlefield. When they saw Zhang Yun's troops, Zhang Fei rushed into the battlefield without saying a word. If Wang Wei was brave, then Zhang Fei was violent.
The eight snake spears stirred up strange winds, and wild beasts violently broke into the army and immediately swept away a large area.
Originally, Zhang Yun faced off against Wang Wei. After being suppressed in the early stage, as more and more people died in the battle, the superiority in military strength gradually became apparent, and he began to counterpress Wang Wei. At this moment, Zhang Fei suddenly came in with such a arrogant attitude.
, which immediately caused chaos among Zhang Yun's tribe, and also made Wang Wei breathe a sigh of relief.
"Zhang Yun, the dog thief, is here!" Zhang Fei led his men and horses into the crowd, but did not waste time on these ordinary soldiers. He saw Zhang Yun commanding the battle in the distance at a glance, roared, and led his men and horses directly
Kill in the direction of Zhang Yun.
Don't look at him for treating his soldiers cruelly, but on the battlefield, a fierce general like Zhang Fei is the most inspiring. The most important thing is that his unreasonable and arrogant spirit can weaken the enemy's morale by three points before he fights. At this moment
Like a giant beast in the wilderness, they went on a killing spree. Wherever they passed, Zhang Fei's soldiers were cut down like wheat by Zhang Fei's Zhangba snake spear. Even the generals, no one could withstand Zhang Fei's spear.
When Zhang Fei came to kill him, everyone moved out of his way, allowing Zhang Fei to go straight towards Zhang Yun.
Zhang Yun turned pale when he saw Zhang Fei's posture, waved his riding crop and said: "Quick, stop him!"
But Zhang Fei's posture at this time was too cruel, and the soldiers behind him were also extremely fierce. The Jingzhou soldiers gave way and ran away. No one dared to attack at this moment. Zhang Yun saw Zhang Fei getting closer and closer, and turned his horse's head in horror, thinking
You have to run for your life, but you are surrounded by soldiers and horses, there is no way you can escape!
"Haha, traitor Zhang Yun. I've been unhappy with you for a long time. Are you worthy of the surname Zhang!?" Zhang Fei got closer and closer. Seeing Zhang Yun trying to escape but not being able to escape, he couldn't help laughing. He had a loud voice.
, Such unscrupulous ridicule at this moment was clearly heard by everyone, and Zhang Yun's face turned green. What's wrong with my surname Zhang? Have I eaten your rice?
But at this moment, I didn't dare to argue with Zhang Fei. I just ran away crazily. When someone blocked the road, I swung my sword to kill him, which also made the surrounding Jingzhou soldiers even more chaotic!
At this moment, the distance between the two sides was less than ten feet. Zhang Fei suddenly raised his snake spear and shouted: "Hit me!"
Zhang Fei let out a loud roar and flew out of his hand, crossing a distance of ten feet and heading straight towards Zhang Yun's back and heart.
Zhang Yun heard Zhang Fei's roar, and felt his eardrums buzzing. Before he could react, the snake spear had penetrated his chest, penetrated directly into his chest, and penetrated into the neck of the horse, nailing both the man and the horse.
on the ground.
The scene suddenly became silent. Like Zhang Yun, many people around him were shocked by Zhang Fei's loud roar. When they came back to their senses, Zhang Yun had already been nailed there with both men and horses, and was dead.
Zhang Fei immediately stepped forward. Even though he had no weapons, the soldiers around him did not dare to stop him. They watched helplessly as Zhang Fei came to Zhang Yun, grabbed the snake spear, kicked Zhang Yun, and kicked him and his horse out, taking the snake spear away.
Pulling it out, he turned around and looked around. He glared at the Jingzhou soldiers around him with a pair of ring-like eyes, and cursed: "Look, you generals are dead, and you still want to resist!?"
Seeing no one move, Zhang Fei became angry and roared: "You still won't surrender!?"
