Under the guidance of Liu Qi, Gao Rou came to Liu Biao's coffin to express condolences, and then asked casually,
"I wonder where Zhou Mu's wife is? I would like to represent the court and comfort her."
Before Liu Qi could reply, Zhuge Liang said calmly,
"Mrs. Cai is too sad and is resting in the back. It's not convenient to disturb her."
"If Mr. Wen Hui has anything to say, just tell Zhou Mu directly."
Liu Qi nodded and said,
"Mr. Kong Ming is right."
Seeing that the attitudes of several people were so tough, Gao Rou couldn't say anything else.
He exchanged some pleasantries with Liu Qi and others, then stood up to leave.
Seeing Gao Rou leaving, Liu Qi said with some worry,
"Uncle, Mr. Kong Ming, I'm afraid that after Gao Rou returns, Thief Yang will start attacking."
"The state pastor doesn't have to worry."
Zhuge Liang smiled calmly,
"Even if Yang Thief has strong soldiers and horses and sharp weapons, he will never be able to cross the river!"
Seeing that Zhuge Liang was so confident, Liu Qi was temporarily relieved.
…
After leaving the Prefectural Mufu, Gao Rou hurriedly left Xiangyang City under the escort of a group of soldiers.
However, before boarding the boat, he carefully observed Xiangyang's armaments.
I saw that the Jingzhou army had deployed dense deer villages along the south bank of the Han River. There was no space for Cao's army to land.
The coalition forces of Liu Bei and Liu Qi were stationed not far from the river beach.
Once there is any trouble, they can deal with it immediately.
In addition, there are dozens of bed crossbows arranged on the top of the city of Xiangyang.
At this moment, Gao Rou suddenly noticed that Wei Yan, the general he met earlier, was scolding a few lazy soldiers.
He just glanced at it, then boarded the boat and headed towards the north shore.
After landing, Gao Rou immediately came to the Chinese army camp to meet Yang Ling.
"I've seen the general!"
"How is the situation in Xiangyang City?"
Yang Ling asked impatiently.
"Liu Biao died of illness last night, and the situation in the city is now under the control of Liu Qi, Liu Bei and others."
Gao Rou replied.
Couldn't Liu Biao die a few days later?
Yang Ling thought for a while and asked again,
"Have you ever met Mrs. Cai?"
"Never."
Gao Rou shook her head.
It seems that Liu Qi took control of Cai Yu after becoming the lord of Xiangyang.
Yang Ling's heart tightened.
Yu'er is passionately devoted to herself and has helped her a lot before. She can't let anything happen to her!
He must find a way to capture Xiangyang City as soon as possible and rescue her.
Zhao Yun on the side seemed to have noticed Yang Ling's thoughts and asked,
"Mr. Wen Hui, what's the situation with the defenders on the other side of the river?"
"It's very strict, there are no loopholes."
Gao Rou said, telling what he saw and heard.
After hearing this, everyone frowned.
If it goes according to what Gao Rou said, they have only one option: attack by force.
But if they really want to attack by force, given Jingzhou's armament situation, I'm afraid Cao Jun will have to pay a heavy price.
In that case, even if Xiangyang City is captured, the gains will not be worth the losses!
When everyone was frowning, Yang Ling stretched out his finger and tapped the table gently. After a moment, he smiled faintly and said,
"I have a way to take down Xiangyang City easily!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this!
…
South bank of Han River.
After being angered by Zhuge Liang in the Prefectural Mufu, Wei Yan was quite depressed.
He, who was responsible for guarding the river beach, scolded several soldiers bloody today.
Seeing that the sky was getting darker and there was no movement from Cao Jun on the opposite side, Wei Yan felt much better.
After inspecting the river bank position, when he returned to the camp, the guards on his left and right had already prepared food and wine for him.
While Wei Yan was enjoying the delicious food, he was thinking about the future.
When he served Liu Biao before, he was not allowed to be reused and could only guard the city gate.
Because of this, he chose to betray Wenpin when Liu Bei and Liu Qi attacked the city.
Firstly, he admired Liu Bei's reputation, and secondly, he wanted to have a good future.
But he never expected that Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei's number one military strategist, would actually dislike him!
Yesterday, I made great achievements, but before I could get any reward, I was almost beheaded by Zhuge Liang.
If he really makes any mistakes in the future, Zhuge Liang will definitely use it as an excuse!
What should I do?
Wei Yan drank the wine in one gulp, feeling a little worried.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside.
Wei Yan, who was in a bad mood, couldn't help but scolded,
"Who dares to make noise in the military camp? Aren't they afraid of the general's military law?"
A guard opened the curtain and walked in, respectfully saying,
"General, there was a man coming in a small boat from the other side of the river, and he happened to be detained by the soldiers at the front."
"But this person said he has something important to do and wants to see the general by name!"
I am in Cao's army, but I don't know anyone.
Wei Yan was slightly stunned, but after thinking about it, he ordered,
"Bring him here."
"Here!"
The personal guards took the order and left.
After a while, he brought the man in.
Wei Yan looked at it carefully and was slightly surprised.
The visitor was dressed in a green shirt, with a slender figure, a handsome face, and an air of nobility about him.
Wei Yan secretly thought, this person must be a big shot because of his extraordinary popularity!
"Who are you? And why do you want to see me?"
The visitor was unhurried. He glanced at Wei Yan's personal guards first, then sat down beside the table, picked up Wei Yan's wine glass and poured himself a glass.
Wei Yan was angry and funny. Does this man really think of himself as an uncle?
He waved his hand to his personal guards, asking them to retreat first, and then said coldly,
"Can you say it now?"
"I'm Yang Ling, named Ziyi."
Yang Ling drank the wine in the glass and smiled lightly.
Wei Yan originally wanted to sit down, but before his butt touched the cushion, he heard Yang Ling announcing his home address.
He was stunned at first, then jumped up in fright.
"You...you...you are Yang Ling?!"
Wei Yan's eyes widened and his face was filled with shock.
"good."
Yang Ling nodded, his eyes fell on Wei Yan's hand holding the sword on his waist, and he smiled,
"Why is General Wen Chang so afraid of me?"
joke.
You are the imperial general who conquered the south, Cao Cao's son-in-law, and you personally killed Lu Bu, the unparalleled god of war.
Now you have conquered most of the Han's territory.
Do you think I can stop being nervous? !
Wei Yan licked his lips and forced himself to calm down.
Yang Ling came alone tonight, and he definitely didn't come to murder him.
In this case, I have nothing to be afraid of!
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice,
"I wonder why the general came here in such a hurry tonight?"
"To be honest, I came here tonight for only one purpose."
Yang Ling smiled casually, stared at Wei Yan with piercing eyes, and said every word,
"I want to recruit generals for my use."
Wei Yan stood there, completely dumbfounded.
