Chapter 6 This road is blocked
After Xu Xiang left the prefect's mansion, he was worried that his whereabouts would be leaked and arouse the suspicion of others.
Therefore, he deliberately did not go back to Jiangdong through the east gate of Jiangling. Instead, he deliberately took a big detour and came to the south gate of Jiangling City to exit the city.
When Xu Xiang replaced Sun Quan as an envoy to Jiangling, he paid attention to a secret.
Therefore, although he has an official position, he came to Jiangling City with only a few guards.
This is not the first time that Xu Xiang has been sent to Jiangling as an envoy. Counting this, this is the third time. The first two times were safe and sound, so Xu Xiang did not feel as anxious as the first time he came to Jiangling City.
Xu Xiang thought this time that he would return to Jiangdong safely just like he did twice before.
But unexpectedly, when he just left the city gate and came to a place with few pedestrians, he was blocked by a group of people rushing behind him.
There were over a hundred people in this group, and the person leading the group Xu Xiang recognized was the person who had just stood in front of Mi Yang and confronted him with a knife.
Mi Zhong felt relieved after finally stopping Xu Xiang and the others. He looked at Xu Xiang with a teasing expression, and then said to Xu Xiang,
"This road is blocked."
Seeing that his way was blocked by Mi Zhong, with a malicious smile on his face, Xu Xiang's heart skipped a beat.
But Xu Xiang felt a lot more at ease when he thought that Mi Zhong was Mi Yang's slave, and Mi Yang was Mi Fang's son.
Is there any son in the world who disobeys his father?
At this time, Xu Xiang only thought that Mi Yang sent Mi Zhong and these hundreds of people just to express the anger he had just drawn his sword at.
Thinking this way is consistent with the style of a young man.
Xu Xiang, who thought he knew Mi Zhong's true thoughts when he blocked the road, felt increasingly at ease.
Xu Xiang snorted coldly in his heart, and a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. As a confidant of Sun Quan, he served as an envoy to the King of Wei for Sun Quan.
Even a great hero like King Wei himself is not afraid, let alone some servants blocking the way now.
Seeing Mi Zhong and the people behind him gradually approaching him, Xu Xiang held the sword at his waist, and then confidently shouted to the leader Mi Zhong,
"I am the guest of your family, how dare you disrespect me!"
In Xu Xiang's view, Mi Zhong is nothing more than a slave who takes advantage of others' power.
Now that he has made his identity clear, Mi Zhong will probably be wary of Mi Fang's power and not dare to act arrogantly towards him anymore.
After all, Mi Yang also had to listen to Mi Fang's opinions.
But something beyond Xu Xiang's expectation was that when he heard himself mentioning Mi Fang, a trace of hesitation flashed across the face of the leading servant.
But I don't know what he thought of again, and soon a look of determination flashed on his face.
After Mi Zhong ordered his men to surround Xu Xiang and several people, he immediately pulled out the long knife from his waist and shouted to the hundreds of elites around him,
"According to the order of Xiao Lian, we will capture and kill these people, regardless of life or death!"
After Mi Zhong shouted loudly, Mi Yang's personal guards who surrounded Xu Xiang drew their swords in an instant. Seeing this unexpected scene, Xu Xiang almost had his nose twisted with anger.
Jingzhou's security situation is such that some people dare to block the road and kill people.
At this time, Xu Xiang's calm and calm posture was gone, and he shouted,
"Which Xiaolian family dares to ignore Han law and kill people in public!"
Facing Xu Xiang's doubts, Mi Zhong responded loudly,
"My family!"
After saying that, Mi Zhong drew his knife and rushed forward.
Mi Yang held the seal given to him by Mi Fang and walked out of Mi Fang's room.
Guan Yu's headquarters is outside Fancheng, and the route from Jiangling City to Fancheng is the grain and grass transportation route of Guan Yu's headquarters.
On such a route, there will inevitably be soldiers setting up checkpoints at every level to strictly investigate suspicious people.
In order to have an unobstructed journey along this route, either Guan Yu's warrant or seal is required, or there must be a seal in Mi Fang's hand.
Historically, Lü Meng unexpectedly attacked Jiangling, and Mi Fang surrendered in Kaicheng.
Mi Fang's move not only sold the important town of Jingzhou to Sun Quan, but also allowed Lu Meng to obtain the prefect's seal from him.
With this, Lü Meng occupied the major passes in Nanjun with almost no bloodshed, and directly cut off Guan Yu's food routes, which made Guan Yu the turtle in the urn.
Otherwise, with Guan Yu's prestige at that time, Lu Meng's psychological attack strategy would not be able to affect the morale of Guan Yu's sergeants in a short period of time.
At that time, if his soldiers had not been scattered too many, and with tens of thousands of troops in hand, Guan Yu would have been able to break through and return to Yizhou, fighting and retreating all the way.
Now that Mi Fang has handed the token that can determine Guan Yu's fate into her own hands, Mi Yang feels like a big stone is weighing on her heart.
From this moment on, the wealth and life of the beautiful bearded publicist Wu Sheng, as well as the Liu Bei Group's dream of reviving the Han Dynasty, are all in his hands.
Mi Yang did not leave immediately to go to Guan Yu outside Fancheng, but stood quietly outside Mi Fang's door, waiting for Mi Zhong's return.
While waiting for this opportunity, Mi Yang was quietly thinking about what he should do next.
If Xu Xiang was captured in a short while, even if it was just a corpse, Mi Yang would have full confidence in convincing Guan Yu that Sun Quan would make a surprise attack on Jingzhou while the main force in Jingzhou was out.
But even if Guan Yu believed it, given the current situation, there was no way Guan Yu could withdraw his troops from the front line in time.
Although Guan Yu's troops surrounded Cao Ren before and trapped Cao Wei's number one general in Fan City, unable to move.
Even during the rainy season, the seven armies were flooded and Cao Cao's troops were imprisoned. Pang De's two generals killed one and captured the other.
It seems that Guan Yu is now very powerful and is almost going to kill Xudu.
But in fact, the battlefield situation on the front line is not that optimistic.
After the 30,000 elite troops led by Yu Jin were completely annihilated, Cao Cao later sent Xu Huang to lead an army to support Cao Ren. Now Xu Huang is leading an army to confront Guan Yu face to face.
The place where Xu Huang's army camped was only a few feet away from Guan Yu's army surrounding Fancheng.
Xu Huang is not a mediocre person. He deliberately set up camp in this way just to bite Guan Yu's main force and put him in a dilemma.
Under the pressure of such a good general, if Guan Yu retreats hastily, Xu Huang will easily take advantage of him. If the orderly retreat turns into a big rout,
That Mi Yang had to emo on the spot.
We have to find a way to solve Xu Huang's problem, otherwise the troops will not be able to retreat without peace of mind.
Without Guan Yu's main force to defend, it is unknown whether Jiangling City can defend against Soochow's fierce attack.
The time for thinking always passes quickly, and soon the sky has completely darkened.
Just when Mi Yang felt that Mi Zhong's attempt to capture Xu Xiang might have failed, the light of a torch and a burst of noise suddenly rang out outside the hospital.
Listening carefully to the noise, Mi Yang vaguely heard Mi Zhong's voice.
Mi Yang suddenly became anxious.
Mi Yang immediately stepped out of the corridor and came outside the courtyard gate.
After Mi Yang came outside the courtyard gate, he saw Mi Zhong's figure, but Mi Zhong's figure was blocked by Mi Fang's bodyguard who was guarding the courtyard gate.
By the light of the torches in everyone's hands, Mi Yang vaguely saw that behind Mi Zhong, there were a group of his personal guards, and among the personal guards, there was a person who was tied up with five flowers.
The reason why Mi Zhong was blocked by Mi Fang's personal guards was that Mi Zhong's body was covered in blood at this time.
In addition, Mi Zhong and his bodyguards were both armed with sharp swords and looked fierce as if they had just come off the battlefield. Mi Fang's bodyguards could not let Mi Zhong in for Mi Fang's safety.
Fortunately, Mi Fang's bodyguards all knew that Mi Zhong was Mi Yang's personal attendant.
In addition, after Mi Zhong and his party were stopped by Mi Fang's personal guards, they did not continue to force their way in.
Therefore, the two sides were just confronting each other for a while and did not trigger a military conflict.
Seeing this scene, Mi Yang quickly stepped forward and came to Mi Zhong.
When Mi Zhong saw Mi Yang coming, he was about to pay homage to Mi Yang. Mi Yang stopped Mi Zhong from paying homage and then looked at Mi Zhong with questioning eyes.
Mi Zhong knew what Mi Yang meant, and he nodded gently to Mi Yang.
After receiving Mi Zhong's affirmation, Mi Yang was overjoyed.
When Mi Fang's personal guards saw Mi Yang coming out, they all dropped their guard for a moment.
Mi Yang is Mi Fang's only son, so they naturally recognize him.
Then Mi Yang took out Mi Fang's seal from his arms, showed it to Mi Fang's bodyguards under the firelight, and said,
"No one is allowed to leak what happened tonight, otherwise the military will deal with it and the three clans will be blamed."
Mi Fang's personal guard commander stepped forward and carefully identified the seal in Mi Yang's hand, and immediately bowed to Mi Yang,
"only."
Although those present tonight are either Mi Fang's confidants or Mi Yang's confidants, so there is no need to worry too much about being known to outsiders, but it is always right to give more warnings in everything.
After saying those words, Mi Yang immediately led Mi Zhong and his bodyguards out.
Mi Yang wanted to go outside Fancheng that night.
