Chapter 311

Jia Xu pondered for a moment and asked the old housekeeper who reported the news, "Master, who is the subordinate of the soldiers rushing into Lu's Mansion?"

"It's Zhang Qu, he himself is in Lu's mansion, and Lu San Madam was just... "

The old housekeeper was so angry that he couldn't continue to say anything. Jia Xu was secretly proud. He turned his eyes and said a few words to Huo Jun. Huo Jun nodded, "I understand, I'll go now!"

Huo Jun quickly walked out of the tent, turned over his horse, and ordered the five hundred personal soldiers who had already assembled under his command: "Come with me!"

He rode his horse out of the military camp. At this time, crying and shouting began to appear in Xiangyang City. Cai Zhong and Zhang Qu each sected a thousand qu units, divided into twenty teams, and plundered the twenty richest families in Xiangyang City. Only when the twenty rich families moved to the military camp would they plunder other rich families, so as to ensure that the two of them had the greatest benefits.

The streets were full of patrol soldiers, and people were strictly prohibited from going to the streets to flee. Those who dared to resist were killed, leaving the streets deserted and pedestrians invisible. Twenty wealthy families also plundered the doors and looted them, only women's crying and men's screams were heard.

Despite this, the atmosphere of extreme panic spread rapidly at the city gate. People who felt that something was wrong were trying hard to hide money and even young women were hiding, but they did not know that once a large-scale looting began, any of their efforts would be in vain.

Huo Jun led a army of five hundred confidants to the Lu family in the south of the city. The door was covered with a faint door, and dozens of ox carts and horse carriages were parked at the door, preparing to move the boxes of treasures away.

Huo Jun pointed at the horse whip, and more than a dozen subordinates broke open the door and rushed in. They saw that the yard was piled up like a hill. The soldiers were busy carrying various valuable items. There were dozens of corpses in the corner, both men, women, and young.

When a garrison saw Huo Jun rushing in, a trench leader hurriedly stepped forward and said, "General Huo, this place has been decided by General Zhang. Please go to another house!"

"Where is Zhang Qu?" Huo Jun asked with anger in restraint.

"Haha! Why is Brother Zhong Miao coming?"

Zhang Qu walked out of the inner courtyard and was tidying up his military uniform. Two soldiers behind him were carrying a crying young and beautiful woman with disheveled hair and irregular dresses. Huo Jun probably was his brother's fiancée Lu Sanniang.

Huo Jun had already thought about countermeasures on the way to come. He had to stop the miserable appearance tonight, so he said coldly: "General Zhang and General Cai are too unrighteous!"

His horse whip fingered the golden pearls and treasures piled up like a hill, "The benefits are all yours, what about mine!"

Zhang Qu didn't know the relationship between the Lu family and Huo Jun. Seeing Huo Jun's face full of anger, he suddenly realized that his plan to make money with Cai Zhong did not add him, which annoyed him.

In fact, Cai Zhong wanted to add him, but Zhang Qu was worried that Huo Jun would object, so he did not agree. He was in a dilemma at this time. He and Cai Zhong had already allocated the twenty rich people. How can he divide them again now? He should not only let his own interests be damaged.

Seeing that he was hesitant, Huo Jun snorted even more, "No matter how you agreed, I will join now, I must give me one, otherwise I will not blame me for turning against others!"

Zhang Qu had no choice but to say to a personal soldier: "Go and invite General Cai!"

A soldier ran away, and Zhang Qu waved his hand to Huo Jun and smiled, "Please go to the inner courtyard to rest and wait, General Cai will arrive soon!"

Huo Jun followed him to the backyard with a gloomy face, but many accidents would be unpredictable. Just as Huo Jun walked past Lu Sanniang, Lu Sanniang suddenly burst into tears in despair, "General Huo, I am Sanniang, please save me!"

Everyone was stunned. Zhang Qu heard the clues and suddenly turned around and looked at Huo Jun. He was extremely surprised and made him extremely alert. But what he saw was a sharp sword slashing towards him. Huo Jun was prepared and his reaction was one step faster than him.

Zhang Qu was shocked and was about to dodge, but it was too late. He instinctively reached out to block it. With a "crack!", Zhang Qu's right arm was cut off. Zhang Qu screamed in pain. The huge force caused him to stagger and fall to the ground.

He was extremely frightened and tried to get up and run away, but Huo Jun stepped on the back of his neck. Zhang Qu couldn't move. He was so scared that he was scattered and shouted: "Give me your life!"

Huo Jun said gloomyly in his ear: "Do you know who Lu Sanniang is me? She is my brother's fiancée. Can you still live?"

He waved his hand and slashed Zhang Qu's head, and blood spurted out from afar. Lu Sanniang next to him had never seen such a miserable appearance. She was so scared that she screamed and fainted.

At this time, the yard was in chaos, and Zhang Qu's subordinates were frightened and fled in scattered. However, Huo Jun's soldiers were prepared and closed all the exits tightly, and the gates were even more closed. Huo Jun's move was a signal. Hundreds of soldiers drew their swords and killed them together. In a moment, they killed more than 20 people in the yard.

"Seifu, no one can be let go!" Huo Jun ordered sternly, if one person was run away, his major event would be ruined, and Jia Xu's plan would not work.

Hundreds of soldiers rushed into Lu's mansion and began to search and massacre. Soon, all Zhang Qu's men in the mansion were killed completely, leaving no one left.

About half an hour later, Cai Zhong hurried to Lu's mansion with several subordinates. He was also quite embarrassed. The twenty wealthy families must have scored a portion of Huo Jun. The key is how to divide it?

Cai Zhong entered the gate and saw the soldiers busy carrying property, but no sign of Zhang Qu. At this time, Huo Jun came up and pointed to a room and sighed: "General Zhang and I have a little conflict. He is losing his temper. Please ask Cai Zhong to persuade him!"

"What's his temper? Could it be that General Huo asked for a price too harshly, which made him feel that he was at a disadvantage?"

"I don't know, either?"

Cai Zhong walked into the room with a smile, "Old Zhang, please relieve the fire, listen to me."

The room was empty and there was no one. Cai Zhong was stunned. He saw that there was another door on both sides and was about to ask again, but suddenly he heard a crisp sound of falling cups from behind, "Bang!"

Cai Zhong turned around and saw that the door behind him was closed. He was stunned. What does this mean?

Before he could react, dozens of swords and axes rushed out of the rooms on both sides, one by one, one of them was extremely fierce, rushing towards him with sharp axes in his hands and chopping them down.















The night became deeper and deeper, and gradually it was fourth o'clock. Huo Jun stood on the head of the south city wearing a helmet and armor, pressing the hilt of the knife, and staring at the dark night sky outside the city nervously. Except that he was vaguely illuminated by the firelight on the city within thirty steps from the city gate, there was no movement outside the city.

There were dozens of generals standing behind Huo Jun, most of which were subordinates of Cai Zhong and Zhang Qu. To Huo Jun's expectations, almost all the soldiers were willing to be loyal to Liu Jing, and Liu Jing had already penetrated into the hearts of the people of Jingzhou.

Huo Jun took a deep breath and asked Jia Xu next to him in a low voice, "Do you think Zhuge Liang will be fooled?"

Jia Xu stroked his beard and squinted his eyes and smiled, "Even if he thinks it's inappropriate, he won't give up Xiangyang easily, otherwise he will be wasted all his previous efforts. If he doesn't give it a try, how could he be willing to go back? Don't worry! He will definitely come."

At this time, a soldier rushed from Dongcheng and reported to him: "General Wei Yan said that he is ready and can cooperate with us at any time."

Huo Jun nodded and looked at Jia Xu. Seeing that Jia Xu had a smile in his eyes and a confident expression, he calmed down a little, and looked into the depths of the darkness outside the city.

"Here you come!" someone shouted softly.

An army appeared from the darkness, with about two thousand people. The leader general held a spear. Huo Jun knew this person and whispered to Jia Xu: "This person is Wang Wei, the former Xiangyang general, who has surrendered to Liu Bei."

Jia Xu nodded and looked back at the urn. The soldiers lying on both sides were ready. He looked at the darkness behind Wang Wei again. He estimated that Zhuge Liang must be hiding not far away.

At this time, Wang Wei stepped forward and shouted loudly: "Can we take over the city on the order of my military advisor? Can General Cai be there?"

"I am Cai Zhong!"

An officer responded in a muffled voice. His voice was very similar to Cai Zhong, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly in the darkness. "Is Mr. Zhuge here?" he continued to ask.

"My military advisor led a large army behind him and arrived soon. Please ask General Cai to open the door as promised!"

'Cai Zhong' waved his hand and said, "Open the city gate!"

The suspension bridge rumbled down, and the city gate slowly opened. At this time, you could rush into Xiangyang City by riding your horse, but Wang Wei was a little hesitant.

In fact, Wang Wei felt a little uneasy, which was different from his imagination. He imagined that the city gate should have been wide open, and a large group of officers knelt on their upper body at the city gate waiting to surrender, rather than opening the door a little reluctantly like in front of him.

But Wang Wei hesitated for a while and waved his hand, "Enter the city!"

The army began to line up into the city. Just two hundred steps away, Zhuge Liang stood on a high place and saw clearly the situation at the city gate. He also felt a little uneasy. This uneasiness came from Liu Jing. Liu Jing did not move at all. Could it be that he just gave Xiangyang City to himself in vain?

If it was the morning, it was possible that Liu Jing would not get the news so quickly, but after a day and a night, how could Liu Jing not know that he was coming? Will he let himself enter the city so smoothly?

It was the help of Xiangyang City that Zhuge Liang felt something was wrong. Liu Jing should be prepared, but he couldn't see this preparation. Zhuge Liang suddenly thought of something. Liu Jing and Cai Zhong had a deep grudge, and Cai Zhong might not be true.

He was shocked and sweated coldly, and immediately ordered: "Order General Wang to stop entering the city!"

A cavalry ran away and shouted loudly: "The military advisor has an order, stop entering the city immediately!"

There was a slight riot at the city gate. At this time, hundreds of people had entered the city. Wang Wei shouted: "Stop moving forward!"

On the top of the city, Huo Jun knew that his ambush had been seen through by the other party, so he immediately ordered: "Shoot the arrow!"

With a bang, thousands of soldiers hiding behind the battlements stood up together, and shot arrows at the Nanjun soldiers under the city. The Nanjun soldiers were caught off guard, and a large number of soldiers fell down from arrows, screaming one after another.

General Wang Wei was the focus of the attack. Hundreds of arrows were shot at him at the same time. Wang Wei picked dozens of arrows in a row, but the arrows were like locusts, leaving him with no way to hide.

In an instant, more than twenty arrows were in his body, and the arrows on his body were like hedgehogs. Wang Wei shouted and died on the spot. The body rolled on the ground from the horse. Several soldiers rushed forward and snatched his body back. The soldiers in Nanjun were in chaos, and the soldiers entering the city rushed out desperately.

But the suspension bridge had been pulled up again, leaving them unable to escape, but arrows on their heads were like locusts. Soldiers were screaming and were shot down. Most of the more than 400 soldiers fell down, and only more than a hundred were blocked in the city cave. The fear of death made them shout, "We are willing to surrender, surrender!"

More than a thousand soldiers outside the city also suffered heavy casualties and turned around and ran towards the darkness. After a moment, only one corpse and wounded soldiers who could not escape were left under the city.

Zhuge Liang also received the news that Wang Wei was killed and the army was ambushed. Although he felt something was wrong in advance, the news came and he was stunned.
