    "Sister, there's no need to be so nervous, right?" The woman picked up the glass. As her arms continued to swing, the wine in the glass swayed from side to side, then she put it to her mouth and took a sip.  "Little sister, this mission is very important. You must be careful in everything." "I understand." The woman said nonchalantly.  "Sister, when do you think we should go find Cai Hao? He seems to have never been in contact with Liang Guo. Is he reliable?" "Don't say more, the Holy One will make his own decision." After the patrolling soldiers passed by, the two women paid the money.  , walked out of the restaurant slowly, with light and steady steps, and soon disappeared at the end of the street.  The defense of Cai Mao's mansion is the tightest among the Jingzhou family. Not only the private soldiers in the mansion, but also Liu Bei's men and horses lurking in the dark are also numerous. Of course, surveillance still occupies the main part.  "I didn't expect that there would be so many people spying on Cai Mansion outside. I don't know how Cai Mao managed to get away with it?" the woman in black muttered dissatisfied.  "We should not approach the Cai Mansion for the time being to avoid being discovered by interested parties." "How can we complete this mission without approaching the Cai Mansion?" "The situation in Jingzhou is critical. Cai Mao will definitely not stick to Xiangyang with Liu Bei. I am afraid he has already done so.  We have a plan, and the key to our mission is to seize Xiangyang. Don¡¯t forget the Holy Emperor¡¯s order.¡± ¡°But anyone with a little knowledge knows that Cai Mansion will not settle down, so Cai Mansion¡¯s surveillance force is the strongest.  , except for Kuai Liang, who had entered Cai Mansion before, no one from the other aristocratic families was willing to enter Cai Mansion. No one wanted to anger Liu Bei at such a critical moment.  "General Zhou?" In the middle of the night, Zhou Tai suddenly heard such a voice in his ears. He was startled and unsheathed his sword.  Light gradually appeared in the camp. Zhou Tai saw two women in black sitting in the camp. He was shocked and couldn't help asking: "Who are you? Why did you break into this general's camp in the middle of the night? Do you know?"  Knowing that this is a capital crime." Seeing Zhou Tai lower his voice, the two women smiled, but under the veil, Zhou Tai couldn't even tell whether they were male or female.  "General Zhou, have you forgotten the Holy One?" the woman in black said softly.  Zhou Tairu was struck by lightning and stood there in a daze. The saint in the woman's mouth must be Jia Rong. Although his heart is for Jia Rong, after so many years, except when he was just in the Jingzhou Navy, a lone wolf soldier came to fight with him.  After contacting him, there was no news. How could he not be excited when he heard the news about Jia Rong?  "Your Majesty? Isn't he in the palace? He is protected by General Liu. I saw him a few days ago." Being cautious, Zhou Tai replied carefully.  "General Zhou, the little girl refers to the Holy One of Luoyang." "General Zhou, this is the Holy One's decree for you." Another woman in black took out a yellow silk cloth from her arms and handed it to Zhou Tai.  Zhou Tai fell to his knees with a plop, and after three kowtows and nine bows, he received the imperial edict with an extremely solemn expression.  About a quarter of an hour later, Zhou Tai put away the imperial edict and said: "This general already knows." The two women were quite satisfied with Zhou Tai's reaction before and after seeing it. At least they were very defensive when dealing with unknown people.  "General Zhou, I have offended many things just now, and I hope you can forgive me. My little girl Li Ying, this is my younger sister Li Yu, who is currently the deputy commander of assassinations." Li Ying said, holding her fists.  "I didn't expect General Li to be able to shoulder such an important task at such a young age." Zhou Tai praised.  "General, you'd better be careful about Liu Bei and don't go to Cai Mansion recently." Li Ying reminded.  "Don't worry, General Li. I have my own means." After Li Ying and Li Yu left, Zhou Tai picked up the imperial edict on the table again, read it over and over, and tried to figure out its meaning, especially how the Liang Kingdom treated the Cai family. He must read it carefully.  Everyone in Jingzhou knows that Cai Mao has a sister who is Jia Rong's wife.  For a long time, Zhou Tai carefully reassured the imperial edict in his hand and murmured: "Xiliang Army, Zhou Tai is back." Zhuge Liang had issued the order long before Huang Zhong besieged Xiangyang, and the defenders in other places in Jingzhou did not receive it.  The order was not to rescue Xiangyang privately. This order still caused great turmoil in Jingzhou. The Holy Emperor was in Xiangyang and was besieged by the Liang Kingdom, but the imperial court issued such an order.  Huang Zhong was not allowed to be negligent in all situations on the battlefield. Hundreds of scouts began to spread to the surrounding areas with Xiangyang as the center. Controlling the situation on the battlefield at any time was a basic quality that a general should possess.  Jia Rong is also very concerned about the war in Jingzhou. Information from the front line can be passed to him at any time. Jingzhou has become crucial to the situation of the world. As long as Liu Bei is driven out of Jingzhou, the whole country will be destroyed.  ?The world will become at your fingertips.  Huang Zhong had besieged Xiangyang for a month, and the siege was in full swing. What made Huang Zhong anxious was that the defenders had something that could instantly ignite a fire. They were caught off guard, and the siege soldiers suffered heavy losses.  There are few, and with the help of Zhuge Liang in the city, various methods are emerging one after another, including the methods used by Jia Rong when he defended the city.  Xu Huang came, accompanied by a hundred cavalry. With Huang Zhong's eyesight, he naturally recognized these lone wolf soldiers at a glance.  "General Xu has come all the way, what's the matter?" Huang Zhong sat at the top and looked at Xu Huang.  "General Huang, your Majesty is very concerned about the war in Xiangyang and specially ordered me to come here." Xu Huang said: "There are also ten packs of explosives to support General Huang." "Well, with these ten packs of explosives, Xiangyang is not a worry.  , General Xu, please wait and see." Huang Zhong stood up from his seat, his tone a little excited.  "General Huang, the sooner the war in Xiangyang begins, the better. Cao Cao in Yanzhou may be restless again." Xu Huang said with a smile.  At the same time, Zhuge Liang was also wondering why he had never seen the weapons of the Xiliang Army that could blow open the city gates. He had always heard how powerful such weapons were from the fleeing soldiers. In order to  To defend the Xiliang army, he prepared a large amount of kerosene.  "General Zhou, the Xiliang army is attacking the city more and more fiercely. Let your soldiers come forward tomorrow." Liu Bei said.  Zhou Tai stood up and said: "Defend Xiangyang to the death." Anyone with a discerning eye in the tent can see that Liu Bei is taking the opportunity to weaken Zhou Tai's strength. No matter how Zhou Tai explains it, he is always the general recommended by Cai Mao. This is crucial.  .  Zhou Tai took over the city wall, and when he saw the flag of the Xiliang Army floating outside the city, he was inevitably a little excited. Once upon a time, he also killed enemies under this flag and served for the Xiliang Army.  "Brothers, cheer up and let the other soldiers in Jingzhou see that the navy can also defend the city and repel the Xiliang army." "The general is mighty, the general is mighty" the soldiers shouted loudly, and the voices gradually gathered.  together.  Huang Zhong outside the city frowned slightly and asked, "Do you know who is guarding the city?" "I don't know, judging from the flag, it should be the Jingzhou navy. I really don't understand that Liu Bei actually sent the navy to the city.  "Xu Huang said.  When Huang Zhong saw the big word "Zhou", he had a clear understanding in his heart and ordered: "When you attack the city later, you don't have to work so hard." Xu Huang asked puzzledly: "Why?" "This matter will be discussed later.  General Xu explained. "With Huang Zhong's order, the siege became louder than thunder, but full of momentum.  Even if Liu Bei suppressed Zhou Tai, he couldn't do it too obviously, so he asked Zhang Fei to replace Zhou Tai the next day.  Liu Bei naturally didn't realize that the Xiliang army deliberately released water when they attacked yesterday.  The siege battle intensified, and siege equipment and material resources from Luoyang continued to arrive. Jia Rong was determined to capture Xiangyang.  Guan Yu couldn't sit still. The Xiliang Army was violently attacking Xiangyang. If Xiangyang was lost, it would be meaningless for him to guard Nanjun. After finding out the Xiliang Army's transportation route, Guan Yu decided to take action to reduce the pressure on Xiangyang.  .  To be on the safe side, Guan Yu left Zhou Cang in the city with 10,000 troops and 20,000 troops intending to destroy the Xiliang Army's transportation route. At the same time, he headed to Xiangyang to rescue Liu Bei. He was Liu Bei's sworn brother.  The crisis in Xiangyang cannot be ignored, even if there was Zhuge Liang's previous order.  As soon as Guan Yu left the city, he was targeted by Jiang Yu. The three thousand cavalry he led were mostly composed of Qiang people, Wuhuan people and Xianbei people. They were all desperate masters in fighting. There was always movement in Nanjun.  Watching, he didn't want Guan Yu to get involved at such a critical moment.  About half a day after leaving the city, Guan Yu discovered the three thousand cavalry following him. He was shocked and hurriedly made a defensive posture. What surprised Guan Yu was that the three thousand cavalry did not take any action. They were just not far or near.  Follow the army behind.  Under such circumstances, Guan Yu would not have the trouble of looking for the team of Xiliang Army escorting supplies. I am afraid that even if he returns to Nanjun at this time, he will lose a layer of skin.  Who is Guan Yu? He was bullied like this by the Xiliang army one after another. He was already angry in his heart. He had 20,000 troops. Judging from the scale, the Xiliang army only had 3,000 cavalry. It was possible that he could not be defeated.  Chances are, if these three thousand cavalry are defeated on the battlefield, it will be a great encouragement to Jingzhou.  Looking at Guan Yu's team that was moving very slowly, a sneer appeared on Jiang Yu's lips. He would never make this team feel better.As for supporting Xiangyang, don't even think about it. Looking at the entire Jingzhou, Guan Yu is the only one who can support Xiangyang in critical situations. The rest of the defenders must strictly abide by the military orders issued by Zhuge Liang and stick to it.  If the city of Xiangyang is lost, it is not their responsibility. They can take the opportunity to surrender without any losses. Why not do it. Zhuge Liang's starting point is good, but he did not consider the situation that Jingzhou is responsible for. The guards everywhere  , more or less have some connection with the aristocratic family in Xiangyang. No matter how severe Liu Bei's suppression is, it is impossible to replace the mid-level generals in a short period of time. In fact, the influence of the aristocratic family in the military is still very large.
