Time was pushed forward by two days. Just when Yingyang's army was attacking Fancheng, Sun Jian had already rushed out of Jingzhou City and approached Xiangyang with an army of 200,000 in accordance with Zhou Yu's suggestion.

After receiving the news of Sun Jian's invasion in the city of Xiangyang, people were panicked. Liu Biao urgently summoned all civil and military personnel to discuss countermeasures, but it took a whole morning without discussing a cause. Finally, Liu Biao had the idea to give up Jingzhou and go to Xichuan to join Liu Zhang.

Wei Yan returned to his residence, pacing back and forth irritably. At this moment, a trusted officer rushed in and reported: "General, Sun Jian's emissary, please see me!"

Wei Yan frowned and muttered: "We are about to come down here. The emissary must come here at this time. I must surrender as soon as possible!" He turned to the officer and said, "Bring him in." The officer promised and ran down, and after a while, he led that. The middle-aged man who had met Wei Yan many times during this period came to the hall.

Wei Yanchao waved his hand to the officer, and the officer bowed and exited the hall. Wei Yan walked to the top and sat down and asked, "Mr. suddenly came to visit today. I don't know what to do?"

The middle-aged man laughed and said: "The general is asking this for knowingly!" Then he said seriously: "My lord has led an army of 200,000 troops northward, and soon will bring soldiers under the city. I am here to give the general a clear answer. What about the general? Do you want to abandon the dark and cast the light, or you want to be buried with Liu Biao!"

Wei Yan was embarrassed, "This..."

Middle-aged humanity: "The general does not need to make excuses to delay, and the current situation cannot tolerate the general's delay. If we wait until the general is already on the ground before making a decision, I am afraid that the situation will not be as advantageous to the general as it is now!"

Wei Yan was taken aback, and quickly said, "I have already decided. General Sun is known as the Jiangdong Tiger, and he is admired by the world. It would be my blessing if I could serve his subordinates. I plan to dedicate Xiangyang to General Sun in the near future. I think it's the reason to enter."

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "If the general can do this, then he would be wise." Then he said: "For the sake of the general, the general had better take Xiangyang Jin and offer it to my family lord before my army arrives. Then, the general. It will be a high-ranking official, and there will be few people in Jiangdong." Wei Yan couldn't help but nodded his head thoughtfully, clasped his fist and said: "Thank you Mr. for your advice. I plan to start at midnight tomorrow. I don't know what Mr.'s wishes are. "The middle-aged man thought a little, nodded, then smiled and clasped his fist: "The general controls most of the troops in the entire Xiangyang defender. As long as he makes up his mind, it will be easy to take Xiangyang. Congratulations now. The general has done a great job!"

Wei Yan couldn't help laughing, then clasped his fists and said, "In the future, you and I will serve as ministers, and I have to ask your husband for your care!"

The middle-aged man smiled and clasped his fists and said: "Each each other." Then he said unpredictably: "When the general moves, there may be allies acting together. If the general meets, just shouting "Jiangdong Riyao" is convenient. I understand the identity of the general."

Wei Yan was surprised, and asked curiously: "Did Mr. Persuade others?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said: "The general does not need to know now, he will naturally understand by then.

Seeing that he refused to point out, Wei Yan couldn't help cursing secretly: ‘This cunning fox! ’

The two chatted for a few more words, and the middle-aged man left.

Wei Yan thought about it for a while, and immediately summoned a group of confidants under his staff and gave them a careful order. The generals looked at each other, all a little worried, and one asked: "General, shouldn't we return to the general? Now why...?" Wei Yan frowned, "It's not that I don't want to submit to the general. But the general is late. It is too late to take down Fancheng, but the Jiangdong army is about to come! If I return to the general, wouldn't it be necessary to face the Jiangdong army independently, based on the current situation, it is impossible for us to withstand the Jiangdong army's offensive! At that time the army was defeated. , I’ll wait until I’m captured, what’s the future for me!” The generals couldn’t help feeling that what the general said was reasonable, so they didn’t say anything.

Wei Yan exhorted: "You wait to get ready to gather all armies right away. At present, the Jiangdong army is coming, and our army assembly will not arouse anyone's suspicion. When you wait until midnight tomorrow, listen to my orders, and immediately follow what I just instructed. Do it!" The generals clasped their fists and hurried down.

Wei Yan couldn't help feeling a little anxious in his heart, involuntarily pacing back and forth in the hall. Suddenly, Wei Yan seemed to see Chen Lang's cold eyes, and he was shocked and shivered all over his body.

Unconsciously, it was midnight the next day. Wei Yan was fully clothed, and was surrounded by the soldiers and went to the barracks.

A group of generals greeted them together, clasped their fists and said, "General."

auzw.com Wei Yan nodded, glanced forward, and saw that tens of thousands of troops had assembled, and asked, "Are all our soldiers and horses assembled?"

A general clasped his fist and said: "According to the general's instructions, all the soldiers and horses are assembled except for the soldiers and horses guarding the city gates and walls."

Wei Yan asked again: "Is there anything happening on Liu Biao's side, Cai Yuan and Zhang Yun's side?"

Another general clasped his fist and said, "I heard that Liu Biao has already fallen asleep, and there is nothing unusual in the mansion. As for Cai Hao and Zhang Yun's navy, there is nothing unusual as usual."

Wei Yan looked at the scout and asked, "Where is the Jiangdong army?"

The scout clasped his fists and said, "A scout reported that Jiangdong army is less than twenty miles away from Xiangyang! It will be there before dawn!"

Wei Yan nodded, walked to the front of the army, and said loudly: "Brothers, I know that everyone dislikes Liu Biao. Most of you were given land in your home, but you were given it by Liu Biao, who was gracious and widowed. Take it away, it’s no wonder you hate him! I don’t like him either!” The Jingzhou army had grievances about the land. At this time, when they heard Wei Yan’s words, many people couldn’t help screaming. The sentiment was so angry that they seemed to wish Liu Biao to be skinned and torn apart.

Wei Yan signaled everyone to be quiet, and the yelling and cursing of the army gradually calmed down, but their anger had been provoked and could not be calmed down at all.

Wei Yan said loudly: "Brothers' pain, I have already felt the same! Today I will lead you to find that kind and unrighteous Liu Biao to settle accounts, and the land you lost will return to your hands!" The officers and soldiers couldn't help but overjoy. Cheered after one after another.

Seeing this scene, Wei Yan was happy in his heart, and was ready to give orders.

However, at this moment, a huge killing sound suddenly came from somewhere in the city. Everyone was taken aback. Wei Yan knew clearly, and said: "It must be another army that has taken refuge in Jiangdong! Hmph, is it so eager to launch, are you trying to grab power with me?" Then he told an officer next to him: "You go right away. Investigate and see what's going on?" The officer promised and ran down.

Wei Yan said to the generals: "We can't be left behind, all armies..."

At this moment, an officer suddenly poked his head out of the nearby outpost, pointing to the north and shouting anxiously: "General, something seems to have happened to Fancheng! Ying Yang's army seems to have invaded Fancheng!"

Wei Yan and others were taken aback, and hurried to the outpost to look north. Fancheng and Xiangyang are separated by a Xiangjiang River. Standing on a high place, Wei Yan can clearly see the situation in Fancheng. I saw the splendor of torches in the north of the city, the shadows of people were dazzling, and it was chaotic, and I could vaguely see the army pouring into the city. Wei Yan couldn't help being shocked, and said, "It turned out to be so fast...!?"

A general on the side said in shock: "The general has attacked Fancheng! We, what should we do?"

Wei Yan was flustered and didn't know what to do for a while.

At this moment, the officer sent to investigate the news hurriedly returned and reported to Wei Yanzhen: "General, it is Lu Bu! Lu Bu is leading his army to attack the governor's house!"

Wei Yan was surprised, and said in disbelief, "Lu Bu has turned to Jiangdong too!"

The next general was at a loss and asked, "General, what should we do? The situation today is completely different from what we had previously expected!" Another general said: "We have to send the arrow on the string now! Fortunately, Lu Bu has also taken refuge in Jiangdong. We acted immediately. With the cooperation of both sides, we can solve Liu Biao’s cronies and occupy the entire Xiangyang in the shortest time! Jiangdong army is coming, even if the eagles and Yangjun cross the river to attack, we can definitely stick to Jiangdong. The army has arrived!"

Wei Yan suddenly said, "No! We don't take refuge in Sun Jian, we should take refuge in the general!" The generals were taken aback and couldn't help but stare at each other. A general asked inexplicably: "Why is this? If we are to join the general, we must fight against Lu Bu, and it is very possible to face the onslaught of Jiangdong Army independently! This, this risk is too great!"

Wei Yan categorically said: "The risk is big, the benefit is big!" Then he led the generals down the observation deck and shouted to the army: "Brothers, the general is about to call, and I have decided to take refuge in the general! "The officers and soldiers were very happy and cheered. Wei Yan shouted: "Brothers, follow me! Welcome the general!" All the troops shouted, and tens of thousands of horses rushed out of the barracks and ran towards Liu Biao's governor's mansion.

It is said that Lu Bu was persuaded by Sun Jian's secret envoy, and led his troops and horses to attack Liu Biao's residence in the middle of the night. Liu Biao was caught off guard, and the mansion soon fell. Liu Biao, who fled the house in a hurry, hurriedly mobilized all the troops to fight back. Zhang Hu led the infantry, Cai Hao Zhang Yun led the navy, and Lu Bu soldiers and horses fighting in the city, the Jingzhou army was much more powerful than the Lu Bu army, and the two sides were inextricably killed. However, when the war was at a stalemate, Lu Bu rode a red rabbit horse and carried Fang Tian's painted halberd into the enemy's formation, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, no one can stop it! Seeing that Lu Bu was so brave, the Jingzhou Army couldn't help but feel turbulent, unable to resist, and the army was faltering!
