Of course, this habit of Governor Cai cannot be said to be bad. At least the people of the Cai family are very satisfied with this. However, if something urgent happens, it will be delayed.
It's important! Regarding this issue, many officials under Cai Taishou have also advised him, but Cai Taishou did not take it seriously. Now that the Yellow Turban Rebellion has subsided, the rebellion is caused by the north, so why not
If chaos doesn't come to Jingzhou, what important things can be delayed?
When Cai Taishou said this, he never thought that such a day would actually come to pass. Looking at the densely packed soldiers and horses outside the city, Cai Taishou felt chills in his heart. He then looked back at the top of the city.
That alone is less than 10% of the other party! Cai Taishou couldn't help but asked in a trembling voice: "Xiang, has there been any news from Xiangyang?"
The expressions of the officials around Cai Taishou were not much better. After listening to Taishou Cai's questions, none of them could answer him. When the navy outside the city sent news, Taishou Cai didn't take it to heart.
They just sent someone to send the news to Xiangyang as usual. But when he saw the sudden appearance of the army outside the city, Governor Cai regretted it for the first time. If he had taken precautions earlier, he would not be so passive now.
The troops outside Fancheng were naturally the brave soldiers led by Luo Yang. After landing from the Xiangjiang River, Luo Yang led the brave soldiers and rushed to Fancheng non-stop. First, he sent Gan Ning with 5,000 people.
Attack the navy outside the city, while he led his men and horses to surround Fancheng in advance. Luo Yang didn't want to spend much effort in attacking Fancheng. He had been busy traveling these past few days, and Luo Yang was waiting to enter Fancheng to rest!
Outside the city, looking at the officials on the city wall from a distance, Luo Yang stepped forward on horseback and walked to the city wall single-handedly. Faced with Luo Yang's bold behavior, none of the defenders on the city wall were stunned.
Dare to shoot Luo Yang coldly. Luo Yang smiled coldly and shouted towards the city: "I am Luo Yang, the commander of Xiangyang City! On the order of the governor! Come to inquire about the robbery of military supplies! Why don't you open the city quickly?
Door!"
The reason why Luo Yang uses Wang Rui's name is because Luo Yang doesn't want to leave any excuses for others. The world is not in chaos yet. Even if Luo Yang wants to fight, he must first stand up. Wang Rui has this excuse.
Let me tell you first, if the defenders of Fancheng refused to open the door, Luo Yang could use the excuse that they were disobeying military orders and intending to rebel. Then no one would be able to catch their own fault!
Governor Cai didn't believe Luo Yang's words. As a member of the Cai family, of course he knew what was going on in Xiangyang City. The total number of defenders in Xiangyang City was only 20,000 or 30,000, and only two were controlled by the governor Wang Rui.
Ten thousand people. There are already 5,000 people outside the city, and according to the military information sent by the navy outside the city, there are still 5,000 people attacking the navy camp. There are more than 10,000 people. How could Wang Rui put so many people away?
Handed over to a small general?
Although he didn't believe it, Cai Taishou did not dare to expose Luo Yang's lies in public. He was worried that the other party would become angry and attack the city directly. Cai Taishou did not have the confidence to be able to block the opponent's attack of 5,000 people with just a few hundred men.
! Not to mention that there are still five thousand enemy troops who will arrive at any time! Immediately, Grand Administrator Cai shouted tremblingly outside the city: "This, this, this, this General Luo! I also want to open the city gate to welcome him.
Your army! But, but here, there is a military system in Fan City. More than two thousand soldiers and horses are not allowed to enter the city without the tiger charm of the governor! Please, please also ask the general to lead the troops to rest outside the city for the time being! What, how?
?”
"Humph!" Luo Yang sneered, knowing that he didn't dare to open the door! Forget it, he didn't have any hope of cheating on opening the city gate anyway, all he wanted was an excuse! Dang even shouted: "Bold! I'm here to serve you"
I have received the order from the Governor! Come and thoroughly investigate the robbery of the army rations! How dare you, a little prefect, to prevent our army from entering the city? Could it be that you are in cahoots with the thief who robbed the rations!"
Luo Yang was able to defeat Luo Yang. Gan Ning, who really robbed the army rations, was now his subordinate. Even the robbed army rations, except for the part that had been consumed before, were all placed in the military formation.
What's behind! When Cai Taishou heard Luo Yang's shouting, his whole face turned pale with fright. He shook his head and waved his hands, shouting at the top of his lungs to the outside of the city: "No! No! No! What's wrong with you, the official?"
He would do something like that! General, please don’t misunderstand me! I am absolutely innocent! All officials in this city, big and small, can testify for me!"
"Hmph! How can I believe the testimony given by you and other conspirators?" Luo Yang didn't care what Cai Taishou said, when he even raised the riding crop in his hand and pointed at Cai Taishou on the top of the city and shouted: "I want to prove you
It has nothing to do with the thieves, open the city gate quickly! Otherwise, our army will break through the city gate immediately! It will be too late for you to regret it then!" As if to cooperate with Luo Yang's words, Pei Yuanshao, who was behind Luo Yang, even raised the spear in his hand,
This caused the brave soldiers to drink three times in unison, and the shouts of killing resounded throughout the city.
Cai Taishou was so frightened by the killing cry that his legs weakened and he almost collapsed on the ground. He weakly supported the parapet with both hands to support himself from falling. Cai Taishou also understood at this moment that the opponent was an iron man.
Knowing that he was about to enter the city, he looked around and saw that all the officials under him looked similar to himself. When Cai Taishou turned his eyes, they all avoided them. Seeing that none of his officials were reliable.
, Prefect Cai couldn't help but feel a trace of despair in his eyes.
At this moment, another cry of killing came, and not far outside the city, another troop of soldiers and horses was rushing towards this direction. It was Gan who was sent by Luo Yang to clean up the navy outside the city.
A total of 5,000 Ning's troops and horses, under the command of Zhao Qiang, merged into Pei Yuanshao's military formation. Gan Ning, covered in blood, rode up behind Luo Yang without even looking at the city wall.
With one glance, he directly cupped his fists towards Luo Yang and shouted: "My lord! All the more than 2,000 navy troops outside the city have been eliminated!"
Although Gan Ning's words were not loud, Prefect Cai and others on the top of the city couldn't hear what Gan Ning said, but they could understand from the other party's posture that the 2,500 naval troops outside the city were in danger.
Luo Yang smiled and nodded, and said to Gan Ning: "Xingba! Well done! You can go down and have a rest first!"
"Here!" Gan Ning shouted, then turned his horse and walked towards the Yongzong Army's formation. Before leaving, he did not forget to glance at the city head. That cold look in his eyes immediately made Prefect Cai wait.
People couldn't help but shudder, those two eyes were like two cold swords, sticking directly to their hearts.
The arrival of Gan Ning's 5,000 troops can be said to have directly crushed Cai Taishou's last thoughts of resistance. Cai Taishou fell to the ground and said to his subordinates with cold sweat on his head: "Hurry!
Quick! Open the city gate! Open the city gate!"
With a creaking sound, the gate of Fancheng finally opened. Luo Yang was a little surprised. He didn't expect to be able to capture Fancheng without spending a single soldier. He originally thought that it would take a battle! It seems that he still overestimated.
The courage of the defender of Fancheng was blown away! Originally, Luo Yang wanted to take this opportunity to practice the siege ability of the brave army, but he did not expect that this battle would end like this. Although he felt a little regretful, Luo Yang did not
After wasting time, with a wave of his riding whip, Pei Yuanshao immediately rushed into the city gate with his troops and horses behind him.
After entering the city, under the command of Gan Ning, Pei Yuanshao and other generals, the Yongzhi Army immediately took control of several important strongholds in Fancheng, and could be said to have completely taken over Fancheng. The Governor Cai and a group of Fancheng officials were also captured by Yongzhi.
The soldiers of the army were escorted to the gate of the city, waiting for Luo Yang to come and surrender.
However, Luo Yang waited until all the soldiers and horses entered the city, and then entered the city gate with the injured Wenpin. After seeing Cai Taishou and others kneeling at the city gate, Luo Yang couldn't help but narrowed his eyes and rode directly to Cai Cai.
In front of the prefect and others. Although Prefect Cai is not a smart person, he can be regarded as a bit smart to be appointed as the prefect by the Cai family. Although he didn't see Luo Yang's appearance clearly on the top of the city before, he saw Luo Yang now.
With his posture, as well as the respectful look of the wolf-like soldiers around him towards Luo Yang, he immediately guessed that the other party must be the leader of this army. He hurriedly cried and said: "General! General! The lower official has already opened the city gate!
The city gate has been opened!"
Luo Yang despises such an official from the bottom of his heart, and will not let him work for him. Today he was so scared that he could open the city gate to welcome his army into the city. Tomorrow, he might betray himself and open the city gate to welcome Luo Yang.
The enemy entered the city! Immediately, Luo Yang looked at Prefect Cai with contempt and snorted: "It's good that you opened the city gate, but the time is delayed by a moment!"
How could Taishou Cai know that the other party would find such an excuse? Wasn't it obvious that he wanted to kill him? Taishou Cai was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and the cold sweat on his head felt like rain. Taishou Cai hurriedly shouted: "
General! General! I am a member of the Cai family! I am a member of the Cai family! You can’t kill me! You can’t kill me!”
Governor Cai has no way out now, so he simply reveals his identity as a Cai family to see if the other party will have any scruples about it. After all, the Cai family is considered the first aristocratic family in Jingzhou, with a deep foundation, even in Jingzhou
The governor Wang Rui had to be wary. Maybe the other party would spare his life because of the Cai family. As for the subordinates behind him, Cai Taishou couldn't care so much. The most important thing was to save his own life first.
important.
It's a pity that Governor Cai had a good idea, but he met Luo Yang. Luo Yang snorted coldly: "Cai family? Are they very powerful? You said I can't kill you. I really don't believe this! Come on!"
