Guo Jia came to Zhang Yu in a hurry.

Guo Jia said to Zhang Yu: "My lord, a general in the city, wants to surrender to us, and secretly sent someone to contact his subordinates. ”

Zhang Yu took the information and looked at it.

"Great, plus our people, if he can really cooperate with us, this Cai Mao won't have many days."

Zhang Yu has been holding back, just letting the spies in the city work.

This Wang Li was naturally pushed out by him.

Wang Li is actually not a betrayal, he did not really surrender to Zhang Yu.

He was just corrupt and derelict in his duties, making it convenient for those families who surrendered to Zhang Yu to transport their property through the gates he defended.

The letters he received were also insinuations, and these families were deliberately written vaguely and speciously under the control of Zhang Yu.

This Liu Liang and Xu Chen cooperated and launched Wang Li, which made the people in the city panic.

This target choice must also be Cai Mao's cronies, coupled with the guidance of public opinion, people feel that Cai Mao has betrayed his relatives, and this Xiangyang City will fall sooner or later.

Then, someone really came to Zhang Yu and wanted to surrender.

is still a not small general, with more than 10,000 people under his control.

Such a powerful general fell to Zhang Yu, and this Xiangyang City was easy to fight.

"Okay, set off in three days and surround Xiangyang City, this time Cao Cao's army will not be able to escape." Zhang Yu said.

Zhang Yu has been operating in Jingzhou for several years, all in secret.

There are also a large number of internal responses in this Xiangyang City, and to put it mildly, there are 3,000 regular troops of Zhang Yu's family in ambush.

These armies are all from various families, and there are also some guards from officials' families, as well as some merchants and shops who were ambushed in the early years.

These people, some of them connect them, and when it comes to the critical moment, it will make a big difference.

The reason why Zhang Yu set off three days later was to let public opinion continue to ferment, and after a certain height, he would be overwhelmed by his army.

Wang Li was beheaded, and Cai Mao inspected the military camp for two consecutive days, and the military camp was really much more disciplined.

This Cai Mao also found a few talents, these captains, usually do not go to the restaurants or even the Qinglou like other generals, but do their duty in the barracks.

Cai Mao is now suspicious and distrustful of many people.

When inspecting the barracks, he found some problems, and dismissed the lieutenant and general on the spot.

This made the whole army even more uneasy, but Cai Mao felt that it was very necessary.

A few of the talents he had discovered began to be mobilized, allowing them to defend the gates and other important places.

City gates, granaries and other strategic places, Cai Mao has changed a group of people.

Cai Mao's actions chilled some people.

This Cai Mao was too nervous.

In the entire Jingzhou, only Xiangyang was left, plus Zhang Yu's hundreds of thousands of troops were killed.

Let him surrender, he is absolutely unwilling.

In Xiangyang City, Cai Mao has often come out to inspect recently.

What he saw was that the armies began to do their duty, so he felt a lot more relieved.

On this day, he called Xu Chen alone.

"Mr. Xu, if it wasn't for your warning a few days ago, the consequences would be unpredictable, what has happened in the world recently?"

Cai Mao asked Xu Chen, Xu Chen pondered for a while before bowing: "My subordinates usually like to go to various teahouses to drink tea, listen to book reviews, and the remarks of scholars, they are all criticizing Zhang Yu for being unreasonable, but because of his strong army, they are very dissatisfied with Zhang Yu's general measures." ”

"I agree with the prince, the leader and example of the family."

When Cai Mao heard this, she nodded thoughtfully.

He and Zhang Yu were able to cooperate earlier, but just like that, Cai Mao did not hesitate to oppose Zhang Yu at the beginning.

Cai Mao is a representative of the family and is very unfriendly to Zhang Yu's approach.

"Yes, Zhang Yu has been suffering in the world for a long time, but his military strength is really strong, and the family has been forced by him to survive."

"Zhang Yu wants to rule the world with a group of mud legs, after all, it can't last long, as long as there is enough time, Zhang Yu will collapse on his own, as long as we can hold on for a few years, Zhang Yu won't have to worry."

Xu Chen sneered in his heart, this Cai Mao still wanted to hold Xiangyang for a few years, if Zhang Yu hadn't waited for the opportunity and let Cao Jun enter the urn, this Xiangyang City would have changed hands long ago.

However, Xu Chen's face did not show it, and then he said: "Lord Wang, Zhang Yu is scheming, we still have to be careful, send more soldiers, patrol the streets, and control the speech of the people in the city, who dares to spread rumors, and deal with them strictly." ”

Cai Mao nodded, this has been the way it has been done since ancient times.

"Okay, Mr. Xu, give you a soldier and horse, you go to the street, make more patrols, and prevent Zhang Yu from sending people to spread rumors, whoever dares to spread rumors indiscriminately will be arrested."

Xu Chen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, Zhang Yu gave him two tasks, the first task has been completed, and the second task can be started.

Xu Chen has military power, and more importantly, he can make his activities public.

He can lead his troops around the round, which gives him great convenience.

Xu Chen took the order and left.

This Xu Chen's recent performance has impressed Cai Mao, who was originally his confidant, but now he relies on it even more.

got Cai Mao's reliance, and Xu Chen quickly got started.

Xu Chen personally led people, and the next day he caught a few people who spread rumors and intended to defect to the enemy.

These, in fact, the spies in the city have been arranged a long time ago, and all of them have real evidence.

In the face of the evidence, none of these people refuted and obediently pleaded guilty.

When Cai Mao learned about it, she was furious and killed a few more people.

Cai Mao felt that it was fortunate to reuse Xu Chen, otherwise he didn't know that there were still people who dared to collaborate with the enemy.

Xu Chen sent people to inspect, and many public activities were stopped, but under Xu Chen's deliberate arrangement, the activities inside the secret became more rampant.

It's very simple, the people around Xu Chen will leak the places Xu Chen wants to inspect and the places he will focus on.

Underground activities, some important activities, Xu Chen can also know through other methods, naturally he will not destroy.

Under Xu Chen's high pressure, he cooperated with the activities of the spies, which made the city even more tense.

I don't know how many families feel the crisis.

Zhang Yu finally surrounded Xiangyang City, and five miles away from Xiangyang City, the four gates were surrounded.

On the first day of the siege, Zhang Yu personally led his troops to the city.

"The defenders in the city listen, I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, surrender now, all of them will be treated preferentially, if I enter the city, you will all go to build a road for me, and the family property will be confiscated."

"Whoever surrenders, I will not be embarrassed, and I will only take half of the property."

After Zhang Yu finished shouting, he then asked the soldiers to take turns shouting to the city under the city to promote his own policies.

Then, Zhang Yu gave them eight days.

It's not five days, it's not ten days, it's to let them know that Zhang Yu's determination is not said casually, but counted.

Eight days, not long at all, Zhang Yu let people shout for a day, and the soldiers and civilians in the city knew about it.

Eight days, when the time came, the city was even more tense.

Zhang Yu looked at the city wall, he was already sure enough about this Xiangyang City, and he was about to make the last move.
