Wang Rui has been in a bad mood these days, especially after he deceived Sun Jian to go to Fancheng. Wang Rui always felt uneasy, but couldn't explain why. Logically speaking, even if Sun Jian went to find him this time
Luo Yang's trouble would not be much better if Luo Yang did not kill him! Besides, there are 20,000 Xiangyang troops in Xiangyang City, and Sun Jian only has 5,000 people, and Luo Yang only has about 10,000 people. If there really is something
Wang Rui only needs to defend Xiangyang City. He still doesn't believe it. Luo Yang and Sun Jian are really so bold that they dare to surround Xiangyang City?
Although he thought so in his heart, Wang Rui still felt inexplicably frightened when he was alone in the governor's mansion. He was always restless. He simply left the mansion and shouted to the sergeant waiting at the gate: "Prepare the carriage! I'm going to go."
A view of the military camp in the city!"
The quality of the sergeants guarding the Governor's Mansion was quite good. They quickly prepared a carriage for Wang Rui. Just when Wang Rui was about to step onto the carriage, a call suddenly came from a distance, which seemed to be calling him. Wang Rui was busy.
He turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound. After seeing the other person clearly, his face could not help but darken. It turned out that the person who was rushing over was none other than Cai Mao, the young head of the Cai family.
Huang Zhong told Wang Rui that the troops and horses in other cities and counties in Jingzhou could not be mobilized at all. Wang Rui knew that Cai Mao's previous promises were actually just perfunctory. It's just that the Cai family is powerful, and Wang Rui is angry.
, but he didn't dare to do anything to Cai Mao. He could only endure this tone and wait for the opportunity. But now that he saw Cai Mao, Wang Rui's mood was naturally not much better.
"Sir! Where are you going, sir?" Although Wang Rui looked unhappy when he saw it, Cai Hao, who had just arrived in front of Wang Rui, seemed to have seen nothing and said to Wang Rui with a smile and clasped his fists. But Wang Rui followed Wang Rui.
Due to the relationship between Cai Hao's superiors and subordinates, Cai Hao should have dismounted and saluted Wang Rui, but Cai Hao just sat on the horse and bowed his hands with a proud look on his face.
Seeing Cai Mao being so rude, Wang Rui's mood changed in his heart, but he couldn't fall out with the Cai family. Even if he snorted coldly: "Where am I going, does someone other than General Cai have to ask?"
?”
"Haha! Your Excellency has misunderstood!" Cai Hao seemed not to be able to hear the weirdness in Wang Rui's words, and still said with a smile: "General, this is just to express your concern for Your Excellency! After all, Your Excellency is old now,
If I fall and get bumped when I go out, wouldn’t it be a serious matter? I am responsible for the military and political affairs of Jingzhou, so nothing can happen to me!”
"You!" Wang Rui was so angry at Cai Mao's cynicism. Didn't Cai Mao's words curse him to an early death? But Wang Rui couldn't do anything to Cai Mao. In the end, he just snorted coldly and got into the carriage. The sergeant driving the car shook his head.
Horse whip means riding a horse towards the military camp in the city.
Seeing Wang Rui leaving so gracelessly, a cold light flashed in Cai Mao's eyes. Looking at the carriage that gradually disappeared from sight, Cai Mao turned his head and glanced at the sergeants guarding the gate of the Governor's Mansion. The Cai family is in Xiangyang City
With so much power, how could these little sergeants dare to be disrespectful to Cai Hao? They all bowed their heads and saluted. Cai Hao, however, snorted coldly, not caring about these sergeants at all. He turned to a soldier who was following him and asked softly: "Did you ask before?
Is there no problem with the news? So Sun Jian really came to Xiangyang?"
The soldier nodded quickly and replied: "Young master, you can't be wrong! The person who sent this information was a branch of the clan who lived on the outskirts of the city. He accidentally discovered that Sun Jian's soldiers and horses were hiding outside the city.
In that small forest, Sun Jian's soldiers and horses have been hiding in that small forest, but they have no intention of coming out. I don't know what the purpose is?"
"Humph!" Cai Hao sneered and said, "What's the purpose? Is there any question? Last time, that old man Wang Rui tricked Sun Jian into looking for Luo Yang. I'm afraid Sun Jian also suffered a lot at Luo Yang's hands. This time
This time he must have come to Wang Rui to settle accounts! However, I find it strange! According to the intelligence, Luo Yang has tens of thousands of people under his command, and there are fierce generals like Huang Zhong. How come Sun Jian's troops did not suffer any losses?
No? Are you sure there is nothing wrong with sending this information?"
"Absolutely not wrong!" The soldier nodded vigorously and said: "Sun Jian has a total of five thousand soldiers and horses, more or less! To be honest, young master, after the news came from the branch, the young man
I even went to check it out personally. Although Sun Jian’s soldiers and horses are powerful, they can’t stop me, because I can see clearly! But I did find some strange things!”
Cai Hao knew that although the man next to him was just a soldier, he was a master that the Cai family had spent a lot of effort to recruit. He had been quite famous in the world before. Since he was so sure, then
There should be nothing wrong. When he heard the soldier talking about something strange, Cai Mao immediately became interested and turned around and asked, "Is there anything strange?"
The soldier opened his mouth to say something, but found that they had been staying in the Governor's Mansion for a long time. Although the Cai family was very powerful, this would be too showy. Seeing the soldier's hesitant expression,
Cai Hao also immediately saw the scruples of the soldiers, so he simply took the soldiers back to Cai Mansion. After arriving in the study, Cai Hao shouted impatiently: "We can finally talk here!"
Seeing that there was no third person here except the two of them, the soldier replied: "Returning to the young master, I think it is strange that the morale of Sun Jian's soldiers and horses is a bit weird! Half a month ago
When Sun Jian came to Xiangyang, he also went to check it out as a child. At that time, all the soldiers and horses under Sun Jian's tent were full of energy and their morale was sky high. But now, there is an air of decadence everywhere in Sun Jian's army, and Sun Jian's four subordinates
There is no one to be seen, and Sun Jian personally directs all military affairs!"
"So that's what happened! I was shocked!" After hearing what the soldiers said, Cai Hao breathed a sigh of relief and shouted: "What's so strange about this? It must be Sun Jian who ate it at Luoyang's place."
Big loss! Humph! Let me tell you! Luo Yang's own ability is not weak, and with the addition of Huang Zhong, the number of soldiers and horses is no less than that of Sun Jian's Jiangdong Army! Sun Jian must have suffered a big blow here.
Defeat! But even with so many advantages, Luo Yang didn't cause Sun Jian to lose any troops! Huh! It shows that Luo Yang has no ability! There is no need to worry! Once the old man Wang Rui is dealt with, he will be next
Got it!"
Fancheng, which Luo Yang occupied by force, has always been the territory of the Cai family. If he hadn't been worried about Wang Rui, Cai Hao would have killed him with the Cai family's private army! But now Cai Hao is also waiting, waiting for Sun Jian to come.
Wang Rui's trouble, maybe he will really get a big advantage this time! Thinking of this, Cai Mao couldn't help but sneer, turned to ask the soldier: "By the way! The Kuai brothers really left
Are you in Xiangyang?"
Although the soldier was a little dissatisfied with Cai Mao's repeated questions, he still answered honestly: "That's right! Master! The Kuai brothers have never come back since they secretly left Xiangyang three days ago! Why?
This young man even specially asked people to guard the main official roads near Xiangyang, and there was no sign of the Kuai brothers coming back!"
"Tsk!" Cai Hao couldn't help but clicked his tongue, his face full of doubts. Even Cai Hao could see how important this important moment was now. It was impossible for his brothers from the Kuai family, who were far more intelligent than himself, not to see it! But they
Why did he choose to leave Xiangyang at this time? What confused Cai Mao the most was that he had no idea where the Kuai brothers had gone!
Now the head of the Cai family, Cai Hao's father, Cai Xi, is already old and has long left all the affairs of the Cai family to Cai Hao. Therefore, Cai Hao has always considered everything.
The interests of the entire Cai family were taken into account. The sudden departure of the Kuai family brothers made Cai Mao wary. The Cai family and the Kuai family have been fighting each other for so many years. Previously, there were successive Jingzhou governors standing in the way, but now they are watching
Wang Rui is about to be in danger of his life. Maybe the years of struggle between the Cai family and the Kuai family will end during this time!
When he thought that after the Kuai family was wiped out, the Cai family could truly become the masters of Jingzhou, Cai Mao couldn't help but get excited. He even shouted to his soldiers: "No matter what! Watch out for me during this time! If the Kuai family brothers
When you are back, notify me immediately!"
Before the soldier could reply, an exclamation suddenly came from outside the study: "Master! Where is the master? Master! Master!"
Cai Hao's brows furrowed. He could naturally tell whose voice it was. It was clearly a young general arranged by the Cai family at the gate of Xiangyang City. However, if Cai Hao remembered correctly, at this time, this young general
He should be on duty at the city gate! Why did he suddenly come here to make a noise? Immediately, Cai Hao walked out of the study and shouted outside: "I'm here!"
As soon as Cai Hao finished speaking, an exclamation was heard. The next moment, the young general appeared in the yard outside the study. Seeing Cai Hao, the young general's face was anxious and happy, and he walked quickly to Cai Hao.
In front of him, he saluted Cai Hao and then said: "Master! There is some trouble in the south of the city! There is a rebel army outside the city clamoring to enter the city! Master, hurry up and take a look!"
"Rebel army?" When Cai Mao heard the young general's words, his first reaction was Sun Jian! Because according to the information given by the soldier before, Sun Jian's troops were hiding in the small woods north of Xiangyang! But Cai Mao had some
I don't understand, what the hell is Sun Jian doing? He wants to deal with Wang Rui just to take action? What kind of rebellion has he created?
