Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 400
"Yuyan, what if the water gate fails to explode with gunpowder and bamboo tubes?"

Zhu Wei looked at the wide water gate of Xiangyang City about a thousand steps away from the opposite side with some anxiety, but he was a little worried that his black powder would explode the bamboo tube, which might not be able to explode the iron gate fence inside this water gate.

Wang Yuyan looked at the water gate in the north of Xiangyang City ahead, but smiled slightly, "My lord, you have to believe in the power of black powder. There should be no doubt about breaking the gate. However, the defense of Xiangyang City is indeed solid. Such a thick city wall should have cost Liu Biao a lot of money." It took a lot of effort, and I heard that Liu Biao spent five years rebuilding Xiangyang City, and tens of thousands of laborers, to expand the original Xiangyang County to the current scale, which is indeed a big project!"

"Well, Yuyan, it can be seen that no matter how strong the city is, it is impossible to keep the family property forever. Only strong soldiers and heavy weapons can protect the homeland. At any time, we must never forget to train strong soldiers to defend the family and develop sharp weapons. To frighten the world. Even if the world is peaceful, don’t forget it. If you forget it, your family’s fortune will not be far away! Alas, it’s a pity that the future generations will not be able to understand this truth. Forget it, let’s look at the present first, Yu Yan , If we attack Xiangyang this time, if we break through the water gate, maybe we can use the boat as a bridge to let our soldiers directly rush into Xiangyang!"

After hearing Wang Yuyan's words, Zhu Wei couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional. If he really ruled China, in the future, he didn't want his descendants to become stubborn fat pigs and be swallowed by a foreign race or a foreign race.

Of course, this is also a feeling. Zhu Wei knows that no matter what he thinks now, after his death, how the future generations will develop is not something he can control.

I am afraid that everything will follow the inertia of history again. No matter how powerful a dynasty I have created, it will only go from prosperity to decline in the end, and will be crushed by the wheel of history little by little.

Thinking of this, Zhu Wei didn't bother to care about the future anymore, anyway, let's talk about it after completing the unified task given by the system.

Maybe when the so-called green dragon arrives, if he makes a good wish, he can get rid of all this.

So Zhu Wei quickly turned his attention to the water gate of Xiangyang City on the opposite side. Since Wang Yuyan was sure that the black powder explosion bamboo tube could blow up this water gate, the next thing to consider was how to get in.

At this time, Zhu Wei suddenly found that someone seemed to have climbed down from the wall of Xiangyang City opposite, and actually found the boat on which the defeated soldiers from Fancheng were on the Hanshui River, and came towards Fancheng.

Zhu Wei glanced at Wang Yuyan in surprise, not understanding what the situation was, but Wang Yuyan glanced at this person, a flash of light flashed in her eyes, but she laughed and said, "Husband, it seems that in Xiangyang City, There are already people who don't like Liu Biao!"

Wang Yuyan's target glanced at the person who came out of Xiangyang City, and then glanced at the guards on the opposite side of the Xiangyang City Wall who were turning a blind eye, and guessed that this person should be sent by someone with status in Xiangyang City.

Moreover, this person should have already controlled the defense of the Xiangyang city wall area, so that he can make such an arrangement in full view. At this time, sending someone out to contact Zhu Wei who occupies Fancheng, it is naturally impossible to just say hello.

Zhu Wei also smiled when he heard Wang Yuyan's words, and it should be so.

Now that he is suppressing Xiangyang, there is no other force in the whole of Jingbei that can resist his attack on Xiangyang City, so these local nobles and rich families in Jingbei should also show their attitude.

So Zhu Wei quickly ordered someone to go down and open the water gate of Fancheng to let that person in, and then he met this person on the gate tower of Fancheng.

Of course, in order to prevent him from being an assassin, Zhu Wei also recruited a team of guards to guard him, but this person does not seem to be an assassin or anything. what weapon.

After being brought to the Jiange of the city gate where Zhu Wei and Wang Yuyan were, the man bowed to Zhu Wei and said, "Kai Zhong, the deacon of the inner gate of the Kuai clan, has seen General Jingnan!"

"Kai Shi? Are you here on behalf of Kuai Shi? Why are you here?"

Zhu Wei looked at the so-called deacon of the inner sect of the Kuai family, and heard that his name should also be like the inner son of a large scholar family like the Kuai family, that is, the heir of a servant, who was given the surname of the master, and was the vassal of Kuai's servant in his time. from.

However, such a person is often a confidant of the Kuai family, so Zhu Wei also believes that this person should be sent by the Kuai family to make contact.

From this, Zhu Wei couldn't help thinking of Kuai Yue who had attacked his camp before and died, and felt sorry for him, but at the moment he was worried that Kuai Yue died in his barracks, what would the Kuai clan in Jingzhou think of him when he knew about it.

Now, the deacon named Kuai Zhong, after listening to Zhu Wei's question, replied in a respectful manner, "General Rong Rong, I am entrusting the order of the Patriarch this time for the sake of the second master of the Kuai family, Duke Yue. My family's second master Yue Gong once offended General Huwei in Yicheng before, and there has been no news since then, so the master ordered me to come here, just to ask for the general's tolerance, can you tell Kuai, my family's second master Yue Gong Regardless of life or death, I just want to have a definite news!"

"You mean Mr. Kuai Yue, um, I do know, but why did I tell you?"

Zhu Wei was not sure whether he should tell this person about Kuai Yue's death. After all, this news must be bad news for Kuai Shi. .

Although it was Kuai Yue himself who followed Liu Qi and led troops to fight him, and death on the battlefield cannot be regarded as a personal enmity, but after all, he died in the trap set by Zhu Weijun, and there is no way to avoid this cause and effect.

So Zhu Wei couldn't help but look at Wang Yuyan, wondering what she meant, but Wang Yuyan just narrowed her eyes slightly, and didn't express anything, so Zhu Wei had no choice but to turn around to see how the inner deacon of the Kuai family answered again.

The deacon named Kuai Zhong didn't seem to be surprised by Zhu Wei's response when he heard the words, but continued to say respectfully, "Since the general knows about my second master, I beg the general to tell you the truth. Mrs. Kuai is willing to pay for the second master The ransom, or... so that the Kuai family can send the second master's body to the Kuai family's ancestral land! Of course, the Kuai family is also willing to provide money and food to the general as a thank you gift!"

"Haha, now that our army has passed, they are all obedient. Since it is already the land and money occupied by our army, why does the Kuai family need to offer it? If the city of Xiangyang is destroyed, the Kuai family will be nothing more than mince on the board. What money and food will there be? Thank you!"

Hearing this, Zhu Wei purposely watched Kuai Zhong pose as a conqueror, laughing wildly in his mouth, and didn't pay attention to what Kuai Zhong said to thank him.

It seems that Zhu Wei has regarded all of Jingzhou as his own private property...
