Kuaiji City is located between the two counties of Yongxing and Shangyu. There is Kuaiji Mountain in the south and the bay in the north, which junctions the throat of Kuaiji County going south. Kuaiji City has a long history. It is said that Dayu once met the princes here, so it was named Kuaiji (meaning of Huiji).

In the first year of Jian'an, Sun Ce seized Kuaiji City from Wang Lang. Six years later, the ownership of Kuaiji City will face changes. From February 12, the seventh year of Jian'an, Wei Yan's army surrounded Kuaiji City with an encirclement of three queu and one.

Kuaiji Prefect Lu Dai could only rely on his only 2,000 troops to defend the city.

On February 14, Quan Cong led 1,000 troops from the headquarters to sweep Yuyao and Shangyu counties, and rushed to the city of Kuaiji to meet with Wei Yan. Quan Cong was originally ordered to attack Kuaiji from the sea to attract Lu Dai's attention and cooperate with Wei Yan's army to cross the Fuchun River.

When Lu Dai noticed that he had a plan to retreat to Kuaiji City, Quan Cong keenly captured the fighter plane and landed decisively from Yuyao. Taking advantage of the chaos caused by Lu Dai's hastily retreat, he easily captured the two counties of Yuyao and Shangyu.

The Quan clan had a close relationship with Kuaiji clans of all sizes. After Quan Cong captured the two counties, he personally visited several major clans in the county and entrusted them to stabilize the situation in the county.

Afterwards, Quan Congcai led his troops to join Wei Yan and participated in the strategy of Kuaiji City.

After the siege of the city, Wei Yan held his character and only surrounded him for 3 or 4 days without fighting. Even the envoys sent by Lu Dai to ask for help from He Qi did not arrange for anyone to intercept him, as if he was going to fight Lu Dai for a protracted battle.

Lu Dai was a little puzzled at first, but then he would feel sorry for it. Obviously, Wei Yan was preparing to use Lu Dai and Kuaiji City as bait to lure He Qi back to the army for rescue, and then defeat He Qi with a wait-and-seek.

In addition to the 2,000 troops in Lu Dai's hands, there were only thousands of soldiers and horses under He Qi's command in the entire Kuaiji County. Once the He Qi army was defeated, Kuaiji County would be within easy reach for Liu Bei's army.

Although he had insight into Wei Yan's plan, Lu Dai had no countermeasures. Most of the food and supplies in the county were stockpiled in Kuaiji City, and even if He Qi did not return to help, his food and grass would be exhausted in a few days, and he would collapse without fighting.

For Lu Dai, the only hope is that He Qi can see through the tricks and successfully repel Wei Yan. But this hope is really slim...

On the fifth day of the siege, Wei Yan suddenly launched a powerful "offensive" against Kuaiji City. Hundreds of arrows were shot into the city from east, west and north. Strangely, each arrow had no arrows. However, a silk book was tied to the arrow body.

The content of each silk book is the same——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

The article criticized the cruelty and injustice of the Sun family regime, and widely publicized the situation of Sun Quan's army's defeat in the previous battles. On the other hand, the article also described how Liu Huangshu worked diligently and loved the people. At the end of the article, all the clans in Kuaiji should abandon the secrets and turn to the light as soon as possible.

Lu Xun's article was less than 800 words, but his writing was sharp and extremely inspiring. After reading it, Lu Dai was shocked by his literary talent and the negative impact it might have, so he urgently ordered the guards to recycle all the silk books.

But despite this, dozens of silk books still fell into the hands of the great clans in the city. For a moment, undercurrents in the city were surging.

On the eighth day of the siege of the city, the Zhongli, Wu and Luo clans of Kuaiji suddenly joined forces to attack Lu Dai, intending to surrender. These three clans not only have strong people, wealth and material resources, but also have an influence in Kuaiji that other clans cannot match.

Lu Dai had a good relationship with these three major clans, and he never expected that in the most difficult time, they would turn against each other. He could not defend himself.

Although Lu Dai tried his best to control the situation, he was still unable to make up for the situation. Nearly half of the 2,000 troops under Lu Dai were seconded from the three tribes of Zhongli, Wu and Luo.

When the three tribes turned against each other, these private soldiers undoubtedly followed their original family.

The civil strife in Kuaiji City was soon noticed by Wei Yan, Liao Hua and others. Lu Xun believed that the civil strife in the city must be that there were major clans who turned against Lu Dai.

Lu Xun suggested to Wei Yan that due to the change of the situation, the original plan of "surrounding the points and attacking the aid" should be changed. He immediately sent troops to attack the city to support the clans in the city and seize the opportunity to seize the city.

After a brief discussion, Wei Yan recognized Lu Xun's proposal. Immediately, Wei Yan and Liao Hua each led an army from the east and the west gates to launch an attack at the same time.

There were not many defenders in Kuaiji City, but due to civil strife, they were divided into two sides to fight each other. The prefect Lu Dai was even entangled by the "rebels". Wei Yan and Liao Hua's siege could hardly encounter any resistance, and they were less than two cups of tea.

The first song of the Langya Camp was led by its army Sima Cai Xing. First climbed up to the west city tower. After suppressing the few defenders, Cai Xing ordered people to open the west city gate. The other soldiers rushed in from the city gate. Not long after, Wei Yan also led his troops to break through the east city.

With the invasion of Wei Yan and Liao Hua's army, the situation in the city completely reversed, and Lu Dai no longer had the power to turn the world back. In desperation, Lu Dai led more than a hundred soldiers who were still loyal to him to break through from the southern city.

Wei Yan was not in a hurry to chase Lu Dai, but instead ordered the army to stabilize the situation in the city.

After the situation stabilized slightly, the tribe leaders of the Zhongli, Wu and Luo clans sought to see Wei Yan, and expressed their surrender to Liu Bei, and offered to each clan to provide Wei Yan with a thousand private soldiers and a thousand stones of food to serve as military service.

Wei Yan accepted the beautiful wishes of the three patriarchs without any politeness.

An hour later, Quan Cong escorted Lu Dai back to Kuaiji City. When he led his army to attack the city, Wei Yan had already thought of the possibility of the defenders escaping, so he ordered Quan Cong to lead a group of troops to ambush the rushing place in the south of the city.

When Lu Dai led a few remaining soldiers to the ambush circle, Quan Cong suddenly launched an attack. Although Lu Dai fought hard, he was outnumbered and was finally captured by Quan Cong.

The county seat was defeated and the prefect was captured. After this battle, the overall situation of the war in Kuaiji was decided. Although He Qi, the captain of Pingyue, still had thousands of troops, he was powerless to turn the world. Although He Qi was good at using troops, Wei Yan and Liao Hua were not mediocre.

More importantly, most of the Kuaiji clan led by Zhongli, Wu and Luo have turned against each other, and He Qi is destined to be unable to obtain any support anymore.

Even nearly half of He Qi's strokes were from major clans, and these soldiers could fight against He Qi at any time...

After conquering Kuaiji, Wei Yan sent a quick horse to Wujun and Danyang to report the victory, while on the other hand, he sent an envoy to take an ultimatum stamped with the seal of the prefect of Kuaiji to various counties in Kuaiji and deposed the counties to surrender.

………………………………………..

10 miles north of Yongkang County, Kuaiji County, a army of more than 4,000 people is doing a short rest.

The Pingyue Captain He Qi and the commander of each of the commanders surrounded him and discussed something with a gloomy face. Among them, there was a seriously injured soldier.

"...Sir, is Kuaiji City really lost?" said a captain in disbelief.

"How is this possible?" Another captain refuted sternly, "How could it be so easily lost with the defense of Kuaiji City and the prefect himself?"

"..." He Qi carefully looked at the silk ultimatum in his hand, and thought silently.

The war between He Qi and Shanyue has entered the most critical moment - He Qi led his army to deal with nearly ten times the Shanyue army. He won 6 consecutive battles in one month, defeating more than 5,000 enemies. He suffered less than a thousand people.

Faced with He Qi, who was using a sprinter, the Shanyue Army was like a sledgehammer and had nowhere to use its strength. The soldiers, morale and confidence were constantly eroded. He Qi believed that as long as he could win another 1 to 2 battles, tens of thousands of Shanyue Army would be completely defeated.

At that time, you can get the troops and replenish the household.

However, at this critical moment, Lu Dai's envoy for help arrived——Liu Bei's army broke through the Fuchun River. Kuaiji was in danger, and Lu Dai ordered He Qi to return to the rescue quickly.

The result was successful! But He Qi had no time to be upset - if Kuaiji City was lost and Lu Dai was lost, the consequences would be unimaginable, and it was inevitable to return to help. After making up his mind, He Qi ordered his soldiers to make careful arrangements to confuse the Shanyue Army.

Immediately, He Qi led his troops to retreat in the night and rushed for two consecutive days. He finally arrived in Yongkang County. But at this moment, the scout in front of him captured a suspicious fast horse and found a move from the man to give him an ultimatum.

The most shocking thing is that the ultimatum actually said that Kuaiji City had fallen, and even Lu Dai had been captured.

"Sir, Sir! What do you think?"

"The content on the ultimatum is probably true..." He Qi replied in a serious voice.

"But how could Kuaiji City fall so easily?" the previous captain asked in confusion.

"Maybe... the enemy has an inner support..." He Qi said in a pondering manner, "The old thief in Wujun has a close relationship with many clans in Kuaiji. A few days ago, I heard someone secretly contact him.

I'm afraid it was these ill-behaved people who helped Liu Bei's army capture Kuaiji City!"

"Sir. Let's go back to Kuaiji City immediately and rescue the prefect!" Another captain asked urgently.

"..." After thinking for a long time, He Qi shook his head slowly and said, "No! If he kills him at this time, not only will he not be able to save the prefect, but we will die without a place to bury him. After losing Kuaiji City, our army's food, grass and supplies have been cut off, and the enemy situation is unknown.

It is too unwise to act rashly.”

"Sir. Then what should I do?"

"Immediately send a quick horse to take a detour to Chaisang and report to the lord about Kuaiji. I also sent a detailed investigation to Kuaiji City to inquire about the situation.

Then make a decision! Our army will be stationed in Yongkang for the time being..." He Qi looked at the direction of Kuaiji City and said in a deep voice.

In fact, He Qi's own family is also in Kuaiji City...

Jingzhou, Xiangyang City

There is a fierce debate in the conference hall of the State Council of the Patriarchate.

"Lord, Ma Chao is like a wolf, and cannot be raised.

Now that he is poor and lonely, he dares to seize the land of his lord. It is hard to imagine what will happen if his wings are richer?" Kuai Yue looked stern and advised Liu Biao with a loud voice, "The lord should kill Ma Chao's envoy immediately, and then raise an army to take back Shangyong."

"Hahaha..." The envoy of Ma Chao in the hall, Fa Zheng, laughed, "I heard for a long time that Kuai Yidu was a genius of Jingxiang. I saw him today, but I just heard him..."

Liu Biao looked at Fa Zheng coldly and said nothing. Many days ago, Liu Biao suddenly received a report that Shangyong was attacked by Ma Chao and was already trapped. After the inquiry, Liu Biao was shocked and angry, and wanted to send troops to retake Shangyong.

But before the troops were launched, Ma Chao's envoy Fa Zheng had already arrived in Xiangyang first.

"Such old tricks are so good!" Kuai Yue sneered disdainfully, "For you, you can't escape death today!"

"Die? What's the fear of death!" Fa Zheng said with a high spirit, "I can cut down Fa Zheng's head today, but I can cut down the right and wrong!"

"Why should Lord Kuai be so afraid of others' words?" Cai Mao said on the opposite side with a smile, "Lord, I think it's okay to listen to this person's words!"

"...Well!" Liu Biao thought for a moment and nodded slowly.

"Thank you, Lord Mu of Jingzhou!" Fa Zheng bowed and bowed, and said jokingly, "Mr. Kuai's words are too wrong. First, how ridiculous is it to compare General Ma to a wolf.

The wolf is cold and ruthless, and General Ma has been a loyal man after generations of generals.

In order to save the emperor from the traitor Cao Cao, General Ma personally led a large army to fight against the two prefectures of Yong and Si. Although the troops were defeated, how many people in the world could achieve such a level of General Ma? This time General Ma attacked Shangyong without any hesitation.

If the food and grass were not cut off and the collapse was imminent, General Ma would never have done such an unfair act. If he could not immediately obtain one city and half a county, then no one of our more than 10,000 soldiers would be able to survive. Therefore, please ask the Lord of the State Council to understand General Ma’s suffering!”

After pausing, Fa Zheng continued, "General Ma was very uneasy in his heart, because he was afraid that Master Mu of the State was accused of being stranger, so he specially ordered the villain to apologize to Master Mu of the State as an envoy!"

"Hmph!" Liu Pan, the general of the Central Army of Pingko, snorted coldly, "Ma Chao is indeed uneasy.

But I'm afraid that the minister of the state is raising troops to settle the score with him! With his defeated soldiers, our Jingzhou army can be defeated with one blow!" The ministers of Jingzhou also knew about the battle between Cao, Ma and Han.

"Haha..." Fa Zheng smiled slightly and said calmly, "You may also know about Yongsi.

Although General Ma ended his defeat, what happened? General Ma swept across Yong and Sizhou with tens of thousands of cavalry, and tens of thousands of Cao troops could not stop the edge and could not be defeated.

Even if Cao Cao came in person, he would only dare to retreat to the tiger prison and not leave. Can you tell me about this? If it weren't for Han Sui's traitors who turned against each other, killed the old general Ma, and cut off the retreat of General Ma, the thief joined hands with Cao Cao and attacked nearly 200,000 people on both sides, how could the General Ma be able to withstand only tens of thousands of soldiers?

But even so, General Ma can still attack the two thieves of Cao and Han and escape unstoppably. How many brigades are there in the world with such combat power?"

"Mr. Mu of Jingzhou is a relative of the Han Dynasty, and he is famous all over the world. General Ma has admired him for a long time! This time, he sent villains to apologize for the purpose of taking over the emperor, and the other is also hoping to be attached to the master of the state.

"Fa Zheng finally expressed his true intention, "Mr. Ruozhou Mu is kind and sheltered. General Ma is willing to clear the enemy against him for the sake of his wife!"

"Lord, in my opinion, General Ma's intention is quite sincere, so it is not appropriate to refuse each other!" Cai Mao spoke out for Fa Zheng. Before Fa Zheng met Liu Biao, he had met Cai Mao secretly and donated a large amount of money and goods that Ma Chao had plundered from Shangyong to Cai Mao.

"Lord, don't!" Although Fa Zheng's remarks were very attractive, Kuai Yue insisted that Ma Chao could not be taken in.

"..." Liu Biao pondered for a long time and said slowly, "Shoucheng and I are old friends, and Meng Qi is my nephew. Now that Meng Qi is in trouble, I should help you.

Let me do this, so I will regard Meng Qi as the prefect of Shangyong... In addition, I heard that Meng Qi had a younger brother, so it would be better to let him come to Xiangyang. I, the famous scholars in Jingxiang, can achieve a great climate in the future!"

“Thank you, Lord Zhou Mu…”

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

After a cup of tea, Fa Zheng and his entourage walked out of the provincial and ministerial palace.

"Huh~~!" Fa Zheng breathed a sigh of relief when there were so many people.

"Mr. Fa, I didn't expect you to convince Liu Biao? Pang De admired it!" The burly follower was Pang De, the brave general of Xiliang.

He accompanied Fa Zheng to Xiangyang, one for protection and the other for surveillance———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
