Three Kingdoms: The ghost plotter taught Liu Bei to seize Jingzhou first

Chapter 55



The east gate of Wancheng.

More than three hundred soldiers on duty were huddled around the fire to keep warm.

The guard, Song Zhong, was sipping the wine with great pleasure at this moment.

"Today is the birthday of General Cai San. I presented him with a hundred pieces of Shu brocade. It can be regarded as a generous gift."

"Tomorrow, General Cai San will be happy and introduce me to General Degui. I, Song Zhong, will embrace the big tree of the Cai family, and I will be able to rise smoothly."

"In this way, I should no longer have to do the hard work of guarding the gate at night..."

Song Zhong murmured to himself, thinking about the bright future, and couldn't help but feel a hint of pride on his lips. Just as he was about to finish a glass of wine, the soldiers suddenly pointed In the direction of the city, there was a burst of shouting and commotion.

Song Zhong became alert, stood up and came to the inner city wall with his knife.

Looking down, he saw a group of about two hundred people hurriedly approaching the east gate under the firelight.

Song Zhong frowned. He frowned and shouted sharply:

"Who is coming? How dare you approach this important city gate without permission!"

"I am Wei Yan, the commander of the Tenth District, and I have been ordered to defend the east gate!"

A voice came from below the city.

But the two hundred men and horses did not stop and were still approaching the city gate.

"Wei Yan? Is he the idiot who offended General Degui?"

Song Zhong thought of this name, and a hint of contempt flashed across his face.

Now all the officials in the city are congratulating Cai He on his birthday at the government office. Song Zhong is on duty and is depressed because he cannot go to congratulate him in person.

Now someone comes to change the defense, wouldn't it? Just right

"General Cai San must have seen my congratulatory gift and was satisfied, so he asked the idiot Wei Yan to replace me so that I could drink a few glasses of longevity wine from him..."

Song Zhong thought in a self-righteous reverie and secretly rejoiced in his heart.

So he didn't stop him. , released Wei Yan and the two hundred men and immediately went to the top of the city to take over the city defense.

"Wei Wenchang, what gift did you give to General Cai at his birthday party tonight?"

During the exchange, Song Zhong asked casually

"What does Cai He’s birthday banquet have to do with me? Why should I send gifts?"

Wei Yan asked coldly.

Song Zhong was stunned for a moment, and then a sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth.

With such a tone, he didn't give anything.

"Idiot who doesn't know how to behave, no wonder he was sent by General Cai to blow the cold wind for me..."

Song Zhong stood up, muttering in his mouth, and passed by Wei Yan.

After taking three steps, he suddenly thought of something

"Wei Yan, you said you were ordered to change defenses. Where are the documents for the defense change?"

Song Zhong turned around and extended his hand towards Wei Yan.

Wei Yan said coldly:"It's the command to ascend the peak, there is no document!"

Song Zhong frowned and immediately became alert.

The city gate is a critical place, and any change of defense must have a written warrant.

Wei Yan came suddenly and had no written documents in his hand, so his whereabouts are really suspicious.

"Then just wait and wait until I send someone to ask for instructions before continuing to change defenses."

Song Zhong wanted stability in his heart, so he ignored Wei Yan and turned around to arrange his personal guards.

Wei Yan's eyebrows were condensed, and a cold murderous intent suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"brush!"

The knife came out of its sheath and struck down with electricity.

Song Zhong, who was standing sideways, suddenly saw the shadow of the knife coming, and his color immediately changed with horror.

He didn't have time to think too much, and instinctively wanted to dodge.

It was too late.

The blade hit his shoulder.

"ah~~"

With a scream, half of Song Zhong's shoulder was cut off, and he fell backwards to the ground.

"Wei Yan, are you crazy?"

"How dare you attack me? What do you want to do?"

Song Zhong slumped down on the ground holding his broken shoulder, shouting at Wei Yan in shock and anger.

Wei Yan slowly raised his blood knife and said in a deep voice:

"Liu Biao is mediocre and only favors idiots from aristocratic families like Cai Hao. He treats me like a fool!"

"I, Wei Yan, rebelled today!"

Song Zhong was shocked, and then he realized that Wei Yan actually wanted to rebel.

And he lied about changing defenses to deceive the east gate and let Liu Bei's army into the city.

"Wei Yan is causing trouble. Go and report to General Cai immediately.——"

Song Zhong screamed and struggled to turn around and try to escape.

The bloody knife in Wei Yan's hand was chopped off with all his might

"Click!"

Song Zhong's head fell to the ground.

This drastic change happened so suddenly that all the city defenders on the left and right were dumbfounded. It wasn't until Song Zhong's head fell to the ground that they woke up, and they all picked up weapons and wanted to fight.

"Anyone who dares to stop me from seizing the door will be killed!"

Wei Yan shouted loudly, jumped up with his sword, and beheaded Song Zhong's soldiers.

Two hundred direct descendants moved with a bang and pounced on the guards at the east gate who were caught off guard.

The general was beheaded and the soldiers were leaderless. How could they be killed? Opponent.

In a matter of moments, hundreds of guards were killed and scattered, fleeing to death.

Wei Yan roared and slashed at the flagpole with his long knife.

The flag with the word"Cai" fell down.

The other with the word"Wei" The flag was raised over the city tower.

Wei Yan stood with his sword across the city and shouted sternly:

"Open the city gate, lower the drawbridge, and welcome Duke Xuande's army into the city!"

The city gate opened with a bang, and the suspension bridge slowly lowered.

A wolf smoke and horn fire rose over the east gate.

In the silent night, in the blink of an eye, there was a shocking sound of killing.

Countless infantry and cavalry rushed out like divine soldiers descending from the sky. Darkness swept towards the east gate.

Liu Bei was full of energy, riding his horse and raising his sword, and entered this important town on the north bank of the Han River.

"The last general, Wei Yan, pays homage to the lord!"

Wei Yan, who had been waiting for a long time, got off his horse and came forward to see him on his knees.

Wei Yan?

Liu Bei's mind was racing, searching for this name, but it was very unfamiliar.

Obviously.

The young general in front of him, like Deng Mu, was not reused by Liu Biao. The poor people

"My lord, don't look at this Wei Wenchang who is young and unknown. He will definitely become a famous general in the future!"

Deng Mu tried his best to praise Wei Yan to Old Liu.

No one knew better than him how powerful Wei Yan was.

Historically, after Old Liu captured Hanzhong, he did not need Zhang Fei to guard Hanzhong, but made an exception and appointed Wei Yan as the prefect of Hanzhong.

Wei Yan's ability, It can be seen from this.

In the late Shu Han Dynasty, famous generals withered, and the only one who could shoulder the heavy burden was Wei Yan.

In the original timeline, Wei Yan also took the initiative to defect to Liu Bei when Cao Cao went south because he was not reused. Under his command.

So Deng Mu secretly made friends with Wei Yan over the years, just for today's use.

Now it seems that he made the right move.

Liu Bei couldn't help but feel that Deng Mu recommended the young general in front of him so much. for surprise

"The ability of a military advisor to recognize people is unmatched by anyone in the world!"

"He said that Wei Yan is a talented general, so he must be right..."

Liu Bei's thoughts changed, and he immediately got off his horse and helped Wei Yan up with his own hands.

"Bei is really lucky to have the help of a hero like Wen Chang!"

"After passing on my general order, if Wei Wenchang shows his merits, he will be immediately promoted to General Pi and given a thousand pieces of gold!" As soon as this reward came out, not only Wei Yan, but also all the generals on the left and right were shocked.

Even Deng Mu had a bit of surprise on his face.

From the commander of the village to General Pi, Lao Liu was all in one breath, giving this Wei Yan a lot of He's been promoted to six levels!

However, Lao Liu's territory is limited, and the generals under his command dare not be given too high positions. Even Guan Yu, the head of the generals, is only a partial general.

General Pi is only lower than a partial general. First level!

How could he not surprise everyone with the heavy reward he gave Wei Yan?

After a brief surprise, Deng Mu immediately understood Liu Bei's intentions and couldn't help but nodded slightly and secretly praised him.

Wei Yan was the first military general from Jingzhou to voluntarily surrender. The symbolic meaning of a military general is extraordinary.

Moreover, Wei Yan also served with merit.

Liu Bei wanted to use his extraordinary reward to Wei Yan to set an excellent example for those Jingzhou civil servants and military generals who were still watching.

"Lao Liu's imperial skills have become more and more exquisite, it seems that I am still qualified as a teacher..."

Deng Mu sighed secretly in his heart, and then smiled at Wei Yan who looked stunned:

"Wen Chang, the two generals Lianyunchang and Yide are only one rank higher than you."

"What are you still doing? Why don't you quickly thank the lord for using him!"

The stunned Wei Yan was suddenly shocked and finally woke up. Endless gratitude immediately surged on his face.

"Thank you for your consideration, my lord!"

"I, Wei Yan, must go through fire and water to repay the Lord for his kindness!"

Wei Yan bowed down again, with blood in his eyes, and once again expressed his loyalty to Liu Bei.

After thanking Liu Bei, Wei Yan glanced at Deng Mu with grateful eyes.

"This Deng Ziyu really didn't deceive me. Liu Xuande is really a wise master!"

"I, Wei Yan, will definitely repay you for your recommendation one day!"

Wei Yan secretly swore in his heart.

Liu Bei hurriedly helped Wei Yan up and said with a bold smile:

"Wen Chang, hurry up and clear the way. Our army will enter the city and capture Fancheng in one fell swoop!"

"The general will obey the order!"(To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Wei Yan accepted the order with enthusiasm, jumped onto his horse, and ran out with his sword drawn. Liu Bei pointed his sword.

Six thousand cavalry soldiers followed Wei Yan. After the troops, they swept towards the hinterland of Fancheng.

Inside the government office.

There was still a lot of drinking and the fragrance of wine filled the air.

Cai He's face was still glowing at this time, and he was drinking heavily with the guests.

When you are half drunk.

Cai He couldn't help but recall that when he went to the birthday banquet, he and his two brothers had a happy conversation over wine.

It's a pity that his brother Cai Zhong has lost his head and was killed by Liu Bei.

"Liu Bei, the big-eared thief!"

"You killed my second brother, this hatredThe morning paper will make you pay with blood!"

"And Deng Mu, you are a rip-off thief, you helped Liu Bei invade Jingzhou, and you even encouraged that big-eared thief to kill my brother!"

"One day, my lord will march north again. I will capture you alive and cut you into pieces!"

Cai He swore secretly, raised his head and drank a glass of wine.

The wine had just entered his throat.

Suddenly, a soldier stumbled into the palace and knelt down in front of the hall with a face full of fear.

"General Qi, something bad happened!"

"Liu Bei's army has entered Fancheng from the east gate and is heading towards our government office!"

In the lobby, there was an instant of deathly silence.

All the chatter, laughter, and whispers stopped in an instant.

Fan Cheng's group of civil and military officials seemed to have suddenly frozen, and the smiles on their faces froze into confusion in the blink of an eye.

Cai He was so shocked by this shocking news that he spit out the drink he had not yet swallowed.

"You bastard, how dare you lie about the military situation and disturb my birthday party!"

"How could that fellow Liu Bei invade my Fancheng!"

Cai He was furious and threw the wine glass at the guard.

The guard shivered in fright, but fell to the ground and cried:

"General, even if you have ten heads, how dare you lie about the military situation!"

"The enemy troops really came in and were about to reach the government office!"

Cai He realized something was wrong and jumped up in a hurry and rushed out the door.

He only heard the shocking sound of killing, approaching from far to near, approaching the government office.

Among the killing sounds, there were even bursts of muffled thunder. The sound of hoofbeats was like that of horses.

This was the momentum that can only be achieved when thousands of troops march into the city!

The officials who came out were immediately in chaos.

Cai He was dumbfounded, his whole person solidified into a stone elephant, and his face was incredible. Astonishment occupies

"How can this be?"

"Careful work will obviously pay off. The big-eared thief is in Wancheng, organizing a wedding for Deng Mu!"

"How could they suddenly appear in Fancheng?"

"Also, even if they raided Fancheng, how could they break into the city so easily?"

"Could it be that all Liu Bei's soldiers have wings?"

Cai He's voice trembled as he murmured to himself. Countless questions in his mind were buzzing like thunder.

For a moment, he fell into endless horror and confusion.

"General Cai, the enemy troops are coming in. What should we do?"

The deputy general's screams sounded around him.

Cai He suddenly woke up, drew his sword in a hurry and shouted:

"Send the order, quickly gather troops and horses, and follow me to resist the enemy."

"We must drive the big-eared thieves out of Fancheng!"

"Fancheng must not be lost!"

Cai He yelled in a panic, immediately got on his horse and went straight to the house.

Bowangpo was captured in the first battle, which had disgraced him.

Originally, he was not qualified to guard Fancheng, but Cai Mao strongly recommended him. Liu Biao saw that Cai Mao In order to save the face of the Cai family, he had to force him to guard Fancheng.

Many people in the state government were talking about this.

If Fancheng was lost again and Liu Bei's troops came to the Han River to threaten Xiangyang, he would Who else has the face to face Liu Biao's trust?

The Cai family's face will probably be lost to him.

"Fancheng must be defended!"

With this thought in mind, Cai Xi rushed out of the government office, hurriedly mobilized all troops and horses, and gathered on the main street to resist the enemy.

It was too late.

Although Fancheng had 10,000 soldiers, the city gate was lost too quickly. There was no time to assemble all the troops and horses.

When Cai He could only gather less than a thousand troops, countless Liu Jun infantry and cavalry were already coming like a tide from the direction of the main street to the east. The

Bingzhou wolf cavalry charged forward like ants. , the panicked Jingzhou soldiers were rolled to the ground in pieces.

Collapse!

The Jingzhou army, which had no time to form a formation, faced this overwhelming impact, and its morale immediately collapsed and collapsed.

"Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy!"

Cai He became anxious, roared and shouted, and slashed at the defeated soldiers with his sword. He raised his sword and slashed three soldiers in a row.

But the threat of killing still could not suppress the rout.

The situation was over.

"What a shame, what trick did that big-eared thief use to break into my Fancheng?"

"That’s all, let’s lose face, it’s better than losing one’s life!"

Cai He gritted his teeth, turned his horse around, and wanted to escape to the water camp in the south of the city with the defeated army. However, the narrow streets were crowded with too many defeated soldiers, and it was impossible to escape quickly.

"Cai He, where to escape!"

A thunderous shout sounded.

A young general, riding a horse and wielding a sword, pursued him like a god of death.

The long sword danced wildly, smashing the enemies in front of him, and chopped them to the ground in pieces.

"Wei...Wei Yan?"

Cai He was stunned when he recognized the general who was chasing him. He was so panicked that he couldn't turn around for a moment. Why was Wei Yan, who was obviously one of his generals, coming towards him instead? When he woke up.

, Wei Yan was already standing in front of him like an iron tower.

"Eat me!"

With an angry roar, Wei Yan's blood knife came at him with a full grievance.

Cai He didn't have time to react and instinctively raised his sword to resist.

"Click!"

The sword shattered.

Cai He screamed, blood spurted from his mouth, and flew out like a kite with its string broken.

"boom!"

Falled to the ground hard

"I was knocked off my horse by this guy's move?"

Cai He was furiously gushing blood, and his eyes were filled with unbelievable astonishment.

He never expected that this humble man who was tricked by his Cai family would actually have powerful martial arts.

Wei Yan dragged the blood knife forward.

"save me~~"

Cai He shouted at the soldiers on his left and right.

To no avail.

All the soldiers in Jingzhou are like frightened birds. Who cares about your status?

They dispersed in confusion, abandoning Cai He

"If you have any last words, tell me!"

Wei Yan's bloody blade hung down in front of Cai He.

Cai He roared in shock and anger and asked:

"Wei Yan, why did you rebel and surrender to the enemy? Wei

Yan snorted coldly:"Not only did I rebel, I also captured the east gate and let Duke Xuande's army enter the city!""

Cai Heban suddenly realized.

No wonder Liu Bei's army entered his Fancheng so easily.

It was Wei Yan who acted as an internal agent!

"Wei Yan, how dare you betray my lord?~~"

Cai He scolded with grief and indignation.

"Liu Biao is stupid and only uses you wine sacks and rice sacks!"

"Back then, I strictly abided by military law, but he allowed Cai Mao to demote me from my official position!"

"Liu Biao regards me as a fool, how can I not rebel against him and submit to a wise master like Xuande Gong?"

Wei Yan vented out the resentment he had accumulated for many years, and slowly raised the bloody knife in his hand. The anger on Cai He's face turned into panic, and he shouted anxiously:

"Wei Wenchang, listen to me, it was all my brother's fault back then, it had nothing to do with me, and it had nothing to do with me.——"

The blade fell.

A stream of blood spattered out.

Cai He's head fell to the ground..
