"Hahahaha!" A hearty laughter came from the meeting hall of the Hanshou City Prefecture. Huang Zhong looked at Guo Jia, who was sipping the wine beside him, and said with a smile: "Mr. Guo! We can do this this time
Thanks to your strategy for successfully capturing Hanshou City, our army only injured eight soldiers in this surprise attack! I, Huang Zhong, have never experienced such a result in my half-life of fighting!"
Guo Jia curled his lips and said with a smile: "This is nothing. After all, there are not many defenders in Hanshou City. Even if we attack by force, we can win today! However, what surprises me is that,
I didn’t expect that the Kuai family is behind this Wuling County! Fortunately, my lord sent us so many troops, otherwise, we would really suffer a loss if we were still here!"
After taking Hanshou City, the prefect of Hanshou City was also captured alive. After some torture, it was found that the prefect was not a great tough guy. He killed them all. It was learned that the Kuai family had prepared to dominate the city early.
After arriving at Wuling County, Guo Jia immediately guessed what the Kuai brothers were thinking, so he was not in a hurry to continue marching towards Wuling County, but suggested that Huang Zhong stay in Hanshou City for the time being. As for Huang Zhong, after these few
After the war, I admired Guo Jia's resourcefulness so much that he naturally followed his advice.
Even though Guo Jia seems to be drinking happily now, in fact, his little head is spinning rapidly, thinking about the next plan. The situation in Wuling County is still unclear. The prefect of Hanshou City
We only know that the Kuai family has transferred a lot of people from all over Jingzhou, but of course he, a descendant of the branch family, cannot know how many. However, the power of the Kuai family in Jingzhou is not weaker than that of the Cai family. Now the Kuai family is shrinking in
Wuling County, I think there will definitely be no shortage of soldiers and horses in Wuling County!
Guo Jia couldn't help but scratch the back of his head. It was really troublesome! Originally, if there was plenty of time, the safest way would be to immediately send someone to Fancheng to notify Luo Yang and ask Luo Yang to mobilize more troops, or perhaps
Simply send someone to notify Gan Ning, Liu Pi and others in Jiangxia and Nanjun, and ask them to come to help after they attack their target. But now that the attack on Xiangyang is imminent, there is no way for them to waste time. They need to be quick and fast.
To minimize losses and capture Wuling County, even the genius Guo Jia found it a bit tricky!
Huang Zhong saw Guo Jia drinking and looking very distressed, so he quickly asked: "Mr. Guo, is there something you can't figure out?"
Guo Jia simply put the wine bottle in his hand back into his arms, shook his head and said: "General Huang, it is a bit difficult to take Wuling this time. I have a way in mind, but this method is too risky, and I don't dare to
I am absolutely sure that I can succeed!”
Hearing Guo Jia's words, Huang Zhong was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing and said, "What did I think? Mr. Guo, nothing in this war is ever perfect! No one can guarantee a war.
We will definitely win! If Mr. Guo has any good ideas, just tell him. If it is really feasible, we will follow Mr. Guo’s method!"
Guo Jia did not expect that Huang Zhong could say such a truth, and was a little surprised, but then Guo Jia showed his usual smile again and said with a smile: "General Huang is right! No wonder the lord is right
General Huang values so much! With this broad-mindedness, I am really not as good as the general!" However, although Guo Jia seemed to admire Huang Zhong in his words, as soon as he finished speaking, he took out the wine bottle in his arms.
He took a sip of wine, then stretched out his finger to hook Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong could only smile helplessly at Guo Jia's appearance. Although he and Guo Jia had not known each other for a long time, he also knew that sometimes, even Luo Yang could not do anything about this cunning guy, so
He could only walk up to Guo Jia with a wry smile. Guo Jia was not polite and just whispered in Huang Zhong's ear. After speaking, he patted Huang Zhong, who was already a little dull.
Shoulder, he laughed and said: "General Huang, this is my method! Let's see if it works?"
Huang Zhong obviously hadn't fully digested what Guo Jia just said. It wasn't until Guo Jia asked again that Huang Zhong finally recovered. He looked at Guo Jia with a wry smile and said, "Sir, your approach is too bold.
Right? If we make one wrong move, we will be completely wiped out!"
Guo Jia shrugged his shoulders. He learned this action from Luo Yang, and said with a smile: "I told you before, although this method is feasible, it is extremely risky. But according to what General Huang said,
I guess General Huang won't be afraid, right?" As he said that, Guo Jia even raised his eyebrows at Huang Zhong.
"Uh." When Guo Jia said this, Huang Zhong was speechless. Now he was a little doubtful whether Guo Jia's hesitant look just now was faked to lure him into a trap.
! In desperation, Huang Zhong could only nod his head and said: "Since Sir is not afraid, then what do I have to be afraid of? Okay! Have a rest today! Tomorrow our army will set off and do what Sir said!
"
———————————————Dividing Line————————————————————————Two days later, the Taishou Mansion in Wuling City was originally
This prefect's mansion is the residence of Cao Yin, the prefect of Wuling. But since the Kuai brothers and their children moved here from Jingzhou, the prefect's mansion has completely become the residence of the Kuai family. Even Cao Yin and his family are honest
Find another place to stay in the city.
Kuai Liang was sitting in the meeting hall of the Prefect's Mansion at the moment, listening to Pang Ji and Cao Yin reporting on the results of the arrests of spies in the city over the past two days. Cao Yin stood respectfully in front of Kuai Liang, raised his hands and said, "Young Master!
After two days of arrests, the spies deployed by other forces in the city have been basically wiped out, and the rest will definitely be captured before dark today!"
Kuai Liang was already very satisfied with this result. Although the forced arrest of the spies in the city was a clear sign that he was at odds with other forces such as the Cai family. However, Kuai Liang didn't care at all. He had already beaten him anyway.
He has made up his mind to guard one-third of an acre of land in Wuling County. With the current strength of the Kuai family in Wuling County, he is not afraid of any force in Jingzhou!
Pang Ji also continued: "My lord, Xiaguan and others have arranged all the garrison in the city in the past few days, and the grain and grass brought from various places in Jingzhou also arrived in Wuling last night. Xiaguan has made special arrangements.
We have soldiers and horses guarding us to ensure the safety of food and grass!"
Food and grass has always been the advantage of the Kuai family against the Cai family. This time, the Kuai family's actions can be said to have confiscated nearly 70% of the food and grass in various cities and counties in Jingzhou! With these food and grass, the Kuai family can rest assured to defend Wuling.
The city, without having to worry about the lack of food and fodder for the defenders in the city!
"Thank you for your hard work, two adults!" Kuai Liang nodded and said with a smile: "Our Kuai family is in today's situation thanks to the help of talented people like these two!" Pang Jihe praised Kuai Liang.
Cao Yin and Cao Yin naturally had to be modest.
At this time, Kuai Yue walked in with a gloomy face. Of course, the upbringing he received from a child of aristocratic families made him feel bad, but he did not forget the etiquette. Facing his brother and Pang Ji, Cao Yinxing
After bowing, Kuai Yue said in a deep voice to Kuai Liang: "Brother! Two days have passed, but there is still no reply from Han Shoucheng! Should we send a troop to have a look?"
Kuai Liang didn't look good when he heard Kuai Yue mention this matter, but he still shook his head and rejected Kuai Yue's proposal, saying: "No need, judging from the hastily written secret letter, Han Shoucheng
I'm afraid it was attacked by a very powerful enemy. There has been no reply in the past two days, which shows that Hanshou City can no longer be saved! It will be useless to send troops and horses there. If the other party really intends to plot against us in Wuling County, then we will have more trouble.
You shouldn’t waste your strength for no reason!”
Knowing that Kuai Liang was right, Kuai Yue said no more, but Pang Ji on the side said in a deep voice: "First Young Master, Second Young Master, who are the soldiers and horses attacking Hanshou City? Is it possible?
Are they the soldiers and horses of the Cai family?"
Kuai Yue shook his head, frowned and said: "I can't guess that! But it shouldn't be the soldiers of the Cai family! The person in charge of the Cai family now is that idiot Cai Mao, but he only thinks about occupying Xiangyang.
Henan County, now that we have given these two places to him, it is too late for him to be happy, so why would he send troops to cause trouble for us?"
"It's not the Cai family!" Kuai Liang also agreed with Kuai Yue's statement, but his expression did not ease at all, and he said in a deep voice: "But which party's people are so lucky to go to fight the Han at this time?
Shoucheng! Will the other party come to attack Wuling? This is really hard to figure out!"
"Brother!" Kuai Yue's eyes suddenly lit up, and he turned around and said to Kuai Liang: "After all, there are only a few forces in Jingzhou! Sun Jian has already gone north at this moment, and it is impossible to appear in Hanshou City or Changsha.
The city's troops and horses were also dimmed by him! If Wang Rui really died, then Pang Xi and Zhang Zi would have no backbone, and besides, they don't have the strength to take down Han Shoucheng in one fell swoop! What's left,
There are only Yuan Shu in Nanyang and Luo Yang in Fancheng! Yuan Shu recruited troops in Nanyang, and now there are tens of thousands of troops! And Luo Yang of Fancheng also has more than 10,000 troops, and Huang Zhong, a fierce general, can help! Brother, look, it will
Couldn’t it be one of these two people?”
"Probably not!" Kuai Liang lowered his head and thought for a while, but directly rejected Kuai Yue's guess, "Although these two people have many soldiers and horses, both Nanyang and Fancheng are north of Xiangyang.
To pass through Xiangyang and Nanjun and run to Hanshou City, their hands are not strong enough!"
