Although Kuai Liang said this, of course Cao Yin would not really let him go. Instead, he saluted the Kuai brothers with even more respect and said, "I can be where I am today because of the cultivation of the eldest son and the second son."
!”
"Well!" Kuai Liang was obviously very satisfied with Cao Yin's current attitude, but he had no intention of continuing in this regard. He just thought about it, then turned to Pang Ji and others and said: "Actually,
We brothers should have arrived a few days ago this time, but before that, we brothers went to do something, so we were delayed for some time, but we didn't expect that we still returned without success. Uh, forget it, no
Now that I have mentioned this matter, since our two brothers have arrived at Wuling this time, the army in the camp no longer needs to be secretive. Pang Pang! General Huang! Master Cao! Tonight you will send all the troops and horses in the camp.
Go out, search the whole city, and find all the spies sent by the Cai family and Sun Jian!"
Although they were a little curious about what Kuai Liang mentioned, everyone was still smart enough to stay calm. As for the tasks assigned by Kuai Liang, Pang Ji and the others had no difficulty. During the years that Cao Yin was in Wuling, he had already
Cao Yin had a clear grasp of the situation in the city, how many spies there were in the city, and where they were hiding. Cao Yin knew exactly what was going on, but he had previously considered that he could not fall out with the forces behind these spies, so he did not take action. Now he is taking action
After receiving Kuai Liang's order, the three of them immediately shouted in unison: "Here!"
Immediately, Kuai Liang turned to Huang Zu and said, "General Huang, as for the five thousand naval troops on the Yuanshui River outside the city, what arrangements did the general make?"
Huang Zu quickly replied: "Don't worry, eldest son! This time the general has brought a subordinate from Nanjun, named Deng Long. This man is very skilled, and most importantly, he is loyal to the Kuai family! So the general will let him
Lead the navy to camp on the west bank of Yuanshui River and wait for orders!"
Kuai Liang had no interest in this man named Deng Long. Huang Zu's ability was very clear to Kuai Liang. When it came to leading troops to fight, Kuai Liang had no ability at all. In the beginning, Kuai Liang arranged for him to go to Nanjun as an undercover agent because he was interested in it.
Huang Zu has a flattering mouth, but he doesn't really think Huang Zu has any abilities. And this Deng Long, from Huang Zu's tone, seems to be not as good as him, so how can he be a powerful person? So Kuai Liang also
He didn't say anything more about Deng Long, but ordered: "Starting tomorrow, General Huang can go out of the city to personally command the navy. Now build a water stronghold on the Yuan River!"
"Here!" Huang Zu also responded to this order without any objection. Although Huang Zu had no ability, he had led troops in Nanjun for so many years and knew that it would be very dangerous if the navy army did not have a water fort to rely on.
Yes! Since you have made up your mind to stay in Wuling for a long time, this water village must be built!
In addition to these, Kuai Liang also explained some matters to everyone, even his younger brother Kuai Yue was no exception. These days, the power of the Kuai family in Jingzhou has also been shrinking towards Wuling County. There have been many
The children of the Kuai family arrived in Wuling, so Kuai Liang did not have to worry about lack of manpower. Although Kuai Liang's previous plan predicted that the Cai family would compete with other forces for Xiangyang and Nanjun in the future, Wuling County still had to set up defenses just in case.
measures.
"Report——!"
Just as everyone was discussing, a sudden shout came from outside the big tent. Before everyone in the big tent could recover, the door of the big tent was suddenly opened, and a figure
He just got in right away.
"Hmph!" At the moment when the figure just got in, the coachman who had been standing behind the Kuai brothers without moving at all suddenly snorted coldly. He flashed.
, but the whole person suddenly disappeared from the place, and the next moment, the coachman appeared behind the figure. Then, a cold light flashed, and a cold force appeared in the coachman's hand.
The man's sword stabbed directly towards the figure.
"Stop!" At this moment, Kuai Yue could see that the figure was a sergeant wearing light armor, and he knelt down to everyone as soon as he came in. He was obviously not an assassin, but he saw that the sergeant was about to die under his own guard.
Under the sword, he hurriedly shouted to stop.
As the second most powerful figure in the Kuai family and the younger brother of the head of the Kuai family, Kuai Liang, what he said was naturally of great weight. As soon as Kuai Yue finished speaking, the sword in the driver's hand immediately stopped, and the tip of the sword
It was dangerously close to the skin on the back of the sergeant's neck. Before the sergeant had time to react to what had happened, he was involuntarily shuddering from the cold air on the sword. His movement made him shudder.
Just in time, the tip of the sword pierced the skin, and a small drop of blood oozed out.
Kuai Liang also spoke at this moment. He glanced at the sergeant and then at Cao Yin. After receiving the other's affirmation, he said lightly: "Get back!"
As soon as Kuai Liang said these words, everyone's eyes were dazzled again. At the same time, a breeze blew in their faces, but the coachman returned behind the Kuai brothers again, standing in the same posture as before, as if he had never moved just now.
General. When Cao Yin saw it, he immediately trembled in his heart. He didn't expect that this ordinary-looking coachman could be such a powerful master. Fortunately, he was not rude to him just now, otherwise, he would have really angered the other party.
I don’t even know how I died!
Kuai Yue ignored Cao Yin's fear, but turned directly to the sergeant and asked, "Who are you? Why do you dare to break into the big tent without permission?"
The sergeant didn't notice the crisis behind him at all just now. He only felt a tingling sensation on the back of his neck and didn't take it seriously. Hearing this, he raised his head and looked at Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang.
He didn't recognize them at all. This sergeant was brought by Pang Ji from Guiyang. He always only listened to Pang Ji's words. Even when he turned his head and looked at Pang Ji, he wanted to know how his superior arranged it.
Pang Ji quickly said: "This is the second young master, and that is the eldest young master! If you have anything to say, just say it!"
"Here!" Pang Ji's simple explanation was naturally impossible for the sergeant to understand. However, although he didn't know who the eldest and second young master were, from Pang Ji's attitude, the sergeant knew that he was definitely not the one.
It was a matter that a small soldier like me could handle, so he clasped his fists and shouted: "Back to the eldest son, the second son, we just received a message from Fei Ge! Enemy troops have been discovered in Hanshou City!"
"Hanshou City?" As soon as the sergeant said this, everyone in the big tent suddenly exclaimed. Even though Kuai Liangdang frowned and looked at his younger brother Kuai Yue, Kuai Yue also looked at him with a gloomy face.
The brothers came over. The two brothers had the same mind and soon saw each other's worries.
Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue were both natives of Jingzhou, and were naturally very familiar with various cities and counties in Jingzhou. Hanshou City is located in the northeast of Wuling County, south of Dongting Lake, and is a city adjacent to Wuling County. Since Kuai Liang ordered
All the forces of the Kuai family were huddled in Wuling County, and Hanshou City became the outpost of the Kuai family in Wuling County. Now that they heard that Hanshou City was attacked by the enemy, the Kuai brothers would certainly be shocked and worried!
And Pang Ji and the other three also understood the importance of Hanshou City. They knew that if Hanshou City was attacked, it would mean that some enemies had begun to have evil intentions against Wuling County! Among these three people, Huang Zu had the most impatient temper.
He asked: "Enemy army? Where did the enemy army come from?"
The sergeant paused, but shook his head and replied: "I don't know, the secret letter didn't explain the origin of the other party?"
Don't know the origin? Even Cao Yin was anxious now and asked hurriedly: "How many enemy troops are there? What are their weapons and equipment?"
"Uh." There was a hint of embarrassment on the sergeant's face. He hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "This is not explained in the secret letter. The secret letter just said that enemy troops suddenly appeared outside Hanshou City and had already begun.
Launched an attack on Hanshou City!"
"You haven't written anything clearly? What on earth is the prefect of Hanshou City doing!" Now Kuai Yue couldn't help but lose his temper. Pang Ji and others were naturally very dissatisfied with the prefect of Hanshou City, but
They knew that the prefect of Han Shoucheng was a descendant of the Kuai family, so they couldn't say anything. They could only look at Kuai Liang in silence.
"Okay! Second brother! Calm down!" Kuai Liang is worthy of being the head of the Kuai family. Even in this situation, he can still remain calm. After reminding Kuai Yue, he waved his hand to signal that
The sergeant retreated, then lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said: "I remember that the governor of Hanshou City should be a descendant of a branch of the Kuai family. He is quite stable and should not have such a mistake! And this secret letter turned out to be
I sent it without writing anything clearly, which shows that the situation in Hanshou City is very critical!"
Kuai Liang made such a judgment, but it was not without purpose, or he deliberately favored the children of the Kuai family. The flying pigeons used to communicate between Han Shoucheng and Wuling were not simple. In this era, the method of flying pigeons to convey messages was not common. Training a pigeon
Flying pigeons that can carry messages require a lot of energy and financial resources. Moreover, releasing flying pigeons requires risking all kinds of dangers that may occur on the way. If it is not a last resort, the prefect of Hanshou City will never dare to do so easily.
Activate this flying pigeon!
In fact, what Kuai Liang guessed was not wrong. The prefect of Shoucheng in Han Dynasty was indeed in an extremely critical situation. He hurriedly wrote a secret letter and then sent flying pigeons to inform Wuling. And just when Kuai Liang and others collected
When we arrived at the secret letter, Hanshou City on the Dongting Lake in the northeast of Wuling had its gates wide open and was completely defeated by the enemy! And at the top of Hanshou City, although those big Chinese characters were still floating
flags, and among these flags, there are many more flags with the word "brave" in white letters on a black background!
