Cai Mao complained in his heart. According to the previous plan, Sun Jian should have sent troops to invade, and then the Cai family's men secretly helped Sun Jian enter the city. If Sun Jian wanted to kill Wang Rui, Cai Mao would not stop him. If Sun Jian refused to do it,
At that time, Cai Mao had no choice but to help! After Wang Rui was killed, the Cai family started to clear out the remaining members of Wang Rui's party in the city, and even the forces of the Kuai family!
Although he didn't understand why Sun Jian wanted to bring out a rebel army, Cai Mao had no intention of changing his previous plan. He even asked: "Did you send someone to notify Wang Rui?"
Of course, the young general also knew Cai Mao's plan, and immediately shook his head and said: "No! The young master has also explained it before, how dare I forget it! Before I came, I had asked my brothers at the city gate to guard the city gate and not let the news leak out.
!But those rebels are making a lot of noise outside the city, and I won’t be able to hide it for much longer!”
Cai Mao nodded. Just now he saw Wang Rui going to the military camp. There were many Xiangyang troops stationed in the military camp. If Wang Rui continued to stay there, he was afraid that even if Sun Jian was allowed to enter the city, Sun Jian would not be able to take action!
Immediately, Cai Mao turned to the soldier behind him and shouted: "Didn't you say last time that a crony around Wang Rui had been bribed by you? Are you obedient?"
Hearing Cai Mao mention this matter, the soldier nodded quickly and said: "Don't worry, young master! In fact, it's not exactly bribery. That guy's wife and son were all arrested by the younger one, and the younger one gave him a special order."
He has to rely on Xiao Xiao’s antidote to survive! So he obeys Xiao Xiao’s words! There is absolutely no problem!”
Cai Mao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he clapped his hands and shouted: "Okay! You go find that person immediately and ask him to find a way to lure Wang Rui out of the military camp! It's best to lure Wang Rui to the warehouse in the south of the city!"
After receiving Cai Hao's order, the soldier immediately went to carry it out. Then, Cai Hao turned back and said to the young general: "You go to the city gate first and be sure to calm down the rebels. Then I will
Naturally, someone will be sent to inform you to open the city gate again! Remember! After opening the city gate, you will all evacuate from the south of the city! No one is allowed to stay!"
It's not that Cai Hao doesn't want to get rid of Sun Jian, the fierce tiger from the east of the Yangtze River, but the problem is that the situation in Xiangyang City is a bit complicated now. If Cai Hao and Sun Jianjian fight, they will definitely lose a lot of soldiers and horses, and it may not be possible to get rid of them by then.
Wang Rui's remnant party and the Kuai family's power were eliminated! The young general also followed the order and left. As for Cai Mao himself, he was not idle either. He hurriedly gathered people and began to arrange his troops, preparing to start as soon as Wang Rui died.
Take action!
When that time comes, Xiangyang and even the entire Jingzhou will belong to my Cai family! Cai Mao imagined in his heart the majesty of replacing Wang Rui and unifying Jingzhou, and his eyes couldn't help but shine with excitement.
The development of the matter was just as Cai Mao had expected. Although the coerced crony of Wang Rui was unwilling to betray Wang Rui, his life, as well as the lives of his wife and children, were all in the hands of others.
Maybe he was acting according to the other party's instructions. On the pretext that there was a fire in the granary in the south of the city, he asked Wang Rui to go and take a look.
Although there is a lot of grain and grass in Jingzhou, there have been several situations in succession before this. Wang Rui also attaches great importance to the grain and grass issue. The granary in the south of the city stores nearly one-third of the grain and grass in Xiangyang City. When he heard that the granary was on fire,
, Wang Rui wanted to put on his wings and fly over to see the situation! But when Wang Rui hurriedly left the military camp in a carriage, he didn't notice that the confidant who told him that the granary was on fire slipped away quietly at some point.
.
In an alley next to the military camp, the confidant who had just slipped out from Wang Rui said eagerly to the soldier beside Cai Hao: "Sir, sir! I, I have done what you said.
Got it! Where’s the antidote? Where’s my wife and son?”
The soldier smiled sinisterly and just opened his mouth, but suddenly his body swayed. Poor the soldier who had just betrayed his master, he just felt a cold on his neck and fell to the ground directly, unable to get up again.
. And the soldier said in a conspiratorial manner: "Don't worry! Your wife and son have already gone before you!" After saying that, he didn't go to clean up the body, but turned around and disappeared into the alley.
Shadow, he still has to rush to Cai Mao to report the news!
Besides, Wang Rui hurriedly rode a carriage to the entrance of the warehouse in the south of the city. When he got off the carriage, Wang Rui was dumbfounded. He originally thought that the warehouse was in a mess, but he never thought that the entrance of the warehouse was still the same as usual.
There was no so-called fire at all! The sergeants guarding the door of the warehouse naturally recognized Wang Rui. When they saw Wang Rui arriving, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Wang Rui, however, didn't care about so much and stepped forward to grab one.
A sergeant asked, "Didn't I say there's a fire here? Where's the fire? Where's the fire?"
The sergeant was confused, and was frightened by Wang Rui's appearance. He stammered: "Fire, fire? No, it's not on fire?"
"No fire?" Wang Rui was shocked, how could there be no fire? Wang Rui immediately threw the sergeant aside, turned around and shouted: "Wang Si! Where is Wang Si? Wang Si!"
It's a pity that Wang Si in Wang Rui's mouth has already returned to the underworld, so how can he answer his call? Wang Rui called several times, but no one answered, and the surprise in his heart became more and more intense. At this time, the voice at the door of the warehouse
There were already many people watching on the street, and the expressions of these people in Wang Rui's eyes were like a sinister and sneering face, making him shudder! Immediately, Wang Rui opened his legs and ran towards the carriage.
, while running, he shouted: "Go! Go! Go back to the Governor's Mansion! No! Go back to the military camp! Go back to the military camp!"
Wang Rui finally made a correct judgment, but unfortunately, it was already too late. Just as Wang Rui finished speaking, a cry of death suddenly came from the direction of the city gate, which frightened Wang Rui and shuddered involuntarily.
The foot that had just stepped onto the carriage pedal was missing, and Wang Rui fell directly next to the carriage.
"What's going on? What's going on?" Wang Rui, who was helped up by the driver on the carriage, was already full of panic and looked directly in the direction of the city gate where the shouts of killing were coming from. There were originally many people gathered around the street, listening to
Hearing the loud shouts of killing, the people were stunned for a moment, and then they immediately ran away. Except for Wang Rui and his group of sergeants, there was no one else on the street. But precisely because of this, Wang Rui
You can also clearly see that at the other end of the street, a large group of people are rushing towards this side with murderous intent!
Although Wang Rui played tricks and tricks, he was a thorough scholar. When he saw those men and horses, he just killed them. Wang Rui's calves were so frightened that he could not react at all. But it was not like before.
The driver who was supporting him was a sergeant after all, and he hurriedly shouted to Wang Rui: "Sir! Your Excellency! Get in the car quickly! Get in quickly, eh!"
Before the coachman finished speaking, he heard a hiss, and a sharp arrow suddenly appeared and shot directly through his throat. At the same time, dozens more arrows flew towards him. Fortunately, Wang Rui was hit by that
The fallen coachman was crushed to the ground, but he was not injured at all! However, Wang Rui's carriage was turned into a hedgehog by the arrows, and naturally all the horses pulling the carriage fell to the ground.
Wang Rui, who was pushed to the ground by the driver, finally came to his senses. His face was covered with blood spurting from the driver's throat and mouth. He was so frightened that Wang Rui couldn't help but scream. The panicked Wang Rui didn't notice these sudden appearances.
The direction in which the arrows were shot was not the same direction as those of the men and horses charging over from the south!
"Sir! Your Majesty!" After all, the sergeants guarding the granary were still loyal to Wang Rui. When they saw Wang Rui being attacked, they hurriedly picked up their weapons and stepped forward to block Wang Rui. And just as they appeared so suddenly, these arrows also appeared suddenly.
They all stopped for a while, as if they had completed their tasks.
The carriage was gone, and the unknown soldiers and horses were getting closer and closer. If they relied on two legs, it would be absolutely impossible to win. The few sergeants had no choice but to protect Wang Rui and retreat into the granary.
The gate is blocked. How long can it take? I just hope that the troops in the military camp in the city can detect the movement here early and come to the rescue in time!
Soon, the mysterious team of soldiers and horses had arrived at the entrance of the granary, led by Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian and his four generals! After taking a look at the carriage filled with arrows at the entrance of the granary, Sun Jian turned his head again
He looked towards the granary and said with a smile: "Yi Gong, your method seems to be of no use?"
Han Dang, who was behind Sun Jian, blushed immediately after hearing this. According to the strategy he proposed to Sun Jian, he originally asked Jiangdong Army to pretend to be a defeated army from Fancheng, deceive the city gate, and then wait for an opportunity to kill Wang Rui. But
Unexpectedly, before they opened their mouth to deceive, the city gate only held on for half an hour before automatically opening. And Jiangdong Army came all the way, but did not see even half of the enemy. It can be said that Jiangdong Army had not seen it before.
All those actions were in vain.
Cheng Pu was still careful, so he even said to Sun Jian: "My lord, something is not right with this Xiangyang City? How could the defenders of Xiangyang City just let us enter the city without stopping them?"
Sun Jian was no longer anxious at this moment, and said with a faint smile: "There is no need to worry, I am sure that this must be the Cai family or the Kuai family causing trouble again! We want to kill Wang Rui, so why don't these two families want Wang Rui's life!"
"Sun Jian figured this out when he first entered the city. He was sure that with the power of the Cai family and the Kuai family in Xiangyang, no one would stop them in a short time!
