Chapter 133: Kill all the members of the Kuai clan! Destroy all the remaining evildoers and completely take over Jingzhou! It’s too late to kneel now!
Gan Ning handed over the secret letter with both hands.
Liu Bei took it and looked down at it carefully.
That was indeed Su Fei's secret letter. In the letter, Huang Zu died suddenly, and Huang She, under the deception of Kuai Yue, sent an envoy to Sun Ce to surrender. Sun Ce swore by pointing to the river to accept his surrender, and ordered Huang She to lead his troops to defend Xiakou to the death...
Everything that happened in the city and everyone's attitude and stance were all clearly written.
Su Fei also frankly admitted that because he was afraid of Sun Ce's killing, he listened to Gan Ning's persuasion and decided to lead his troops to surrender to him.
"Military Advisor, everything is just as you expected. Huang She has indeed broken his oath and secretly surrendered to Sun Ce."
Liu Bei sighed and showed the letter to Xiao Fang.
Xiao Fang, however, remained calm. He took the letter and read it slowly.
Then he gave the letter to Zhuge Liang, but sneered:
"Huang She is such a fool. He was sold to Sun Ce by Kuai Yue as a gift of surrender. He is so grateful to Kuai Yue. He is really stupid."
After reading the letter, Zhuge Liang quickly understood what Xiao Fang said, and an expression of extreme disgust appeared on his face.
"This thief Kuai Yue not only betrayed Huang She, but also Liu Cong."
"Given Sun Ce's bloodlust, he would kill anyone who showed the slightest disrespect to him, let alone the enemy who killed his father?"
"I guess in Sun Ce's eyes, Liu Biao and Huang Zu are both his blood enemies."
"Even if these two are dead, Sun Ce will never let their families go and will slaughter them all."
"When Sun Ce takes Xiakou, Liu Cong and Huang She will be beheaded!"
Zhuge Liang, in an indignant tone, exposed the stupidity of Liu Cong and Huang She, as well as the vicious side of Kuai Yue.
These indignant words also ignited Liu Bei's anger.
First, he abandoned Liu Biao in Jiangling, and now in exchange for Sun Ce's kindness, he wants to sell out Liu Biao's son and kill Huang She!
Such disloyalty and injustice, with no bottom line and almost shameless behavior, given Lao Liu's temperament, how could he not be angry.
"Pass on my order. After we capture Xiakou, all the descendants of the Kuai family will be killed!"
Liu Bei slammed the table and gave the order angrily.
Xiao Fang could also see that Old Liu was really angry this time.
Given his temperament, he has never been the kind of person who would kill anyone without mercy, but now he has been forced to issue an order to exterminate the entire Kuai family. This shows how much he hates and despises what Kuai Yue has done.
But as the old saying goes, when an avalanche occurs, no snowflake is innocent.
The members of the Kuai clan who followed Kuai Yue to flee to Xiakou all regarded Lao Liu as their mortal enemy and were die-hards who vowed to fight Lao Liu to the end.
In this case, they should be prepared to pay with their lives for their stubbornness.
The anger of all the generals in the tent was ignited at this moment.
"Brother, just give the order!"
"I will be the first one to charge into Xiakou, and I will personally kill Huang She and Kuai Yue!"
Zhang Fei jumped up and angrily asked for a fight.
All the generals stood up suddenly.
Huang Zhong, Wen Pin, Gan Ning and other generals also angrily challenged each other.
"The Lord has given Huang She a chance, but he broke his oath and brought about his own destruction."
"In that case, my lord, please grant his wish!"
Xiao Fang also stood up, with murderous intent on his face, and bowed to Liu Bei:
"There is no time to lose. My lord, please call back Su Fei and have them join forces inside and outside to help my army break into the city tonight."
"We must seize Xiakou before Sun Ce does, and take the entire Jingzhou into our lord's possession!"
Liu Bei slowly stood up and walked to the door of the tent.
Looking up and far away, the outline of Xiakou City comes into view.
If we capture this city, Jiangxia County will be able to be conquered.
Taking the last county of Jingzhou into his hands means that the seven counties of Jingzhou and Xiangyang will all belong to him.
The remnants left by Liu Biao are now all in Xiakou City, and will be wiped out once Xiakou is captured!
"The military advisor is right. It's time to completely take over Jingzhou..."
Liu Bei took a deep breath, and as he slowly turned around, a look of fighting spirit was already burning on his face.
"Xingba, call back Su Ziyi, use the fire as a signal, and order him to lead his troops to seize the west gate!"
"Each of you should lead your troops and march out tonight to destroy Xiakou!"
...
The lights are on and the night is deep.
On the city wall at the west gate of Xiakou, the Jiangxia soldiers on duty were yawning and feeling sleepy.
"Everyone, wake up! Anyone who dares to doze off will be punished by military law!"
A stern shout came from under the city wall.
The soldiers were startled and looked back, only to see that Huang She had climbed up the city wall at some point.
Seeing the major general going up to the city to inspect, the soldiers quickly perked up and suppressed their sleepiness.
Huang She climbed up the tower, stood in front of the battlements with his sword in hand, pointed at Liu Ying outside the city and said:
"Liu Bei likes to use surprise attacks to win his troops, and he may launch a night attack at any time!"
"I want you all to be extremely alert. There must not be any mistakes at the last moment!"
The soldiers were trained to be submissive and dared not say a word.
Zhang Shuo, who followed behind him, smiled and consoled him:
"Liu Bei's 40,000 troops have all landed, but they have been reluctant to move, showing no signs of attacking the city."
"I think he must have been deceived by the letter from the young general, thinking that the ancestor Chengzong is still alive and is trying to persuade the generals to surrender to him."
"At this moment, Liu Bei is probably still dreaming, waiting for us to open the city and surrender. He would never expect that the young general has secretly surrendered to Sun Ce, so how could he send troops to attack the city?"
Zhang Shuo's optimistic analysis made Huang She's tense nerves relax a little.
It's just a slight relaxation.
Huang She still did not dare to be careless, and said in a deep voice:
"Even so, Xiao Fang is a master of calculations. There is no guarantee that he will not find out the flaws and figure out that I have surrendered Sun Bofu."
"It's better to be cautious in everything. Let the soldiers hold on for the last few days. When the Jiangdong army arrives, we can rest assured." Zhang Shuo didn't dare to question it anymore, and smiled and complimented:
"The Major General is far-sighted and thoughtful."
"Please rest assured, General. We will be fully prepared and will never let Liu Bei—"
The words were not finished yet.
Suddenly, the soldiers shouted, "There are soldiers approaching the city."
Huang She was startled for a moment, then he turned around to look inside Xiakou City, and sure enough, he saw a group of people coming towards the west gate along the main street.
There were about two thousand people in that group, all of them were fully armed, and they were coming in a very aggressive manner.
Looking in the light of the fire, the leading general was Su Fei.
Huang She frowned slightly, and an ominous premonition suddenly arose in his heart.
"Su Ziyi, I didn't give you any military orders, why did you suddenly bring so many troops to the west gate?"
Huang She became alert, held the sword in his hand, and shouted loudly towards the city.
Zhang Shuo also sensed something was wrong and immediately called his soldiers to be on alert.
Su Fei reined in his warhorse, held his spear horizontally, and the men and horses behind him stopped and prepared for battle.
Then he clasped his fists on his horse and said loudly:
"Major General, I have already discussed with my brothers that we will surrender the city to Liu Xuande."
"If you are willing, you can surrender to Lord Xuande with us."
"If you don't want to, we won't force you. You can leave the city immediately and go to Sun Ce!"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar on the city wall.
Huang She was even more shocked.
The ominous premonition came true. Su Fei and his gang really wanted to rebel and defect to Liu Bei.
"Su Fei, you are so brave!"
"My father treated you well. How dare you betray me and join that big-eared thief?"
Huang She became furious and pointed at Su Fei and asked angrily.
Su Fei, however, showed no shame and said generously:
"Mr. Chengzong has been very kind to me. I risked my life to save him during the Battle of Han River, which is also a way of repaying his kindness!"
"But you are so stupid that you were bewitched by Kuai Yue and ignored the lives of our Jiangxia soldiers and the people of the city. You insisted on surrendering to Sun Ce, the bloodthirsty mad dog!"
"You are not afraid of death, but we don't want to die under Sun Ce's butcher knife. Now we have no choice but to surrender to Liu Xuande in order to protect ourselves!"
"Major General, let's part ways in peace and accept our fate. Please leave as soon as possible!"
Huang She's lung was poked, his eyes instantly became bloodshot and he became angry and embarrassed.
Then he drew his sword, pointed it at Su Fei, and shouted angrily:
"Release your arrows, shoot this disloyal and treacherous traitor, shoot him!"
The archers on both sides bent their bows and drew their arrows, but they all looked at each other, hesitant.
Su Fei can be considered a veteran in the Jiangxia army, and his prestige is there, so how could the soldiers not have concerns?
"Su Fei, you traitor, die!"
Seeing this, Zhang Shuo picked up a bow and arrow, cursed angrily and shot an arrow at Su Fei.
Su Fei swung the spear in his hand and easily deflected the incoming arrow.
Zhang Shuo missed his target with his arrow, so he picked up his sword again and pointed it at the soldiers, shouting angrily:
"The young general has issued an order. Anyone who dares to disobey will be considered treasonous and will be executed immediately!"
Under this threat, the archers had no choice but to draw their bows and arrows and start shooting indiscriminately at Su Fei and his group of "rebels" again.
Seeing that he could not persuade Huang She to change his mind, Su Fei took a deep breath, waved his gun and shouted:
"Brothers, follow me to seize the west gate and welcome Lord Xuande's army into the city!"
Su Fei rode his horse, holding his spear, and rushed forward.
Thousands of soldiers behind him moved violently and rushed towards the top of the city.
A bloody internal struggle began at the west gate of Xiakou.
Since they were all comrades, the defenders on the city walls naturally had no intention of fighting and dispersed after a little resistance.
A quarter of an hour later.
Zhang Shuo's head and body were separated and his body was lying on the city wall.
Huang Sheze was wounded several times and was captured alive. He was tied up and dragged to Su Fei.
"Su Fei, you are a disloyal and unrighteous traitor!"
"My Huang family has treated you well, how dare you betray me? How can I live with my conscience——"
At this time, Huang She was still cursing at Su Fei angrily.
Su Fei was too lazy to talk nonsense with him anymore. He turned his gaze towards the outside of the city and shouted:
"Light the beacon fire, open the city gates, lower the drawbridge, and welcome Lord Xuande into the city!"
When the order was passed down, the Jiangxia soldiers who had successfully seized the city gate hurriedly opened it and lowered the drawbridge.
A beacon fire rose on the top of the city.
Su Fei cut off the yellow flag and personally raised a "Liu" flag on the west gate tower.
A moment later, shouts of killing rose from outside the city, and countless Liu army infantry and cavalry rushed out of the darkness and attacked towards the west gate.
Huang She finally panicked.
Recalling the day when he left Liu Bei's camp, he swore a solemn oath to Liu Bei, guaranteeing with his life that he would persuade Huang Zu to surrender.
But now he openly broke his oath, went back on his word, and surrendered to Sun Ce.
If he is captured by Liu Bei for the third time, will Liu Bei still spare him?
Huang She shuddered, and all his anger turned into endless fear in an instant.
Then he fell to his knees with a thud, begging in a trembling voice:
"General Ziyi, I was wrong. I shouldn't have been deceived by Kuai Yue and surrendered to Sun Ce!"
"Please, for my father's sake, can you let me go?"
"I can't fall into Liu Bei's hands. If I fall into his hands, I will surely die~~"
