Wang Can asked Ma Liang to handle the matter and stopped intervening.
Everything was thrown to Ma Liang.
After Liu Bei and Zhang Fei were killed, all that was left was the aftermath, but it also involved many details, so we couldn't be careless. Although Ma Liang was very famous in the novel, he was not a person who gained fame in vain, and he was very talented, but Wang Can also knew that Ma Di
Only by taking this example did he save his mind to take the exam and let Ma Liang handle the next thing.
After Ma Liang took over, he immediately summoned the principals of the major families and began to exercise the rights given by Wang Can.
Wang Can sat aside, just a listener.
Although Ma Liang is not very old, he looks very mature in his behavior.
He looked around at everyone, and then said unhurriedly: "Although the aftermath is easy, it cannot be ignored. The first thing we do is to be vigilant and let some soldiers patrol to prevent attacks. The principals of several major families,
Four hundred spearmen will be sent out in turns to be on guard in all directions. They will rotate every half an hour. People from my Ma family will be the first to be on guard. Although the time is not long, we must be cautious. If I find someone lazy during my inspection, I will punish him with the rod.
Forty military sticks, no matter how hard you beat him to death."
Ma Liang's tone was so cold that the other heads of the major families felt a chill.
With Wang Can's support, no one dares to ignore Ma Liang's decision.
The little baby in front of me who is talking and laughing freely at the age of thirteen or fourteen is not an ordinary child. He is the horse of the Ma family!
For a time, the heads of several major families had such thoughts.
Immediately, I heard Ma Liang continue to say: "Everything now is a major event, and we can't be careless. Only when the Shu army enters the city, stabilizes the situation, and everything settles, will you be able to breathe a sigh of relief. At that time, everyone
Only then can we enjoy the joy of victory. If something goes wrong at this time, I don’t think everyone would want to see it.”
Hearing this, everyone nodded and acknowledged unconsciously.
These words spoke to their hearts. Liu Bei was a typical example of someone who was so happy that he became so sad that he had no choice but to kill himself in the end.
They defeated Liu Bei and had already walked most of the journey. There was only one final hurdle left to win. If something went wrong at the last moment, they would not be willing.
Invisibly, people from all families recognized Ma Liang.
Wang Can nodded slightly after listening to Ma Liang's words.
It is indeed a good method to be full of majesty first, and then to be rational. The method is also good.
Ma Liang arranged for vigilance, and immediately arranged for private soldiers to bury pots and cook rice for everyone to eat. He then ordered some private soldiers to deal with the mountains of corpses piled on the streets. The piles of corpses and the blood accumulated on the ground were all
It exuded a disgusting fishy smell. It was already quite good for Ma Liang and others to be able to hold on to it for the first time.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner.
Security guards have been deployed around the Hero Building, and a resting place has been prepared for the soldiers. However, they can only sit down and close their eyes to rest. There are no tents or beds prepared for them to rest.
This night, Wang Can did not go to the Hero Building, but stayed outside.
Late at night, all the corpses were piled up in an open space, then poured with tung oil and lit on fire.
"Hoo! Hoo!!"
The fire burned and turned half of the sky red. The entire Hero Building was completely shrouded in red light, which looked extremely spectacular. The dark night was as bright as day.
Wang Can looked at the burning fire with a smile on his lips.
To the north of the Hero Building, still half an hour away, a group of soldiers wearing Han uniforms were dumbfounded when they saw the flames rising into the sky from the Hero Building.
The fire is soaring into the sky, what on earth is this?
They were all sent by Zhuge Liang to inquire about the news.
During the day, the Shu army attacked the city. Zhuge Liang had been busy directing the soldiers to defend the city. His whole body was tense and he did not consider Liu Bei's situation. In the evening, when it got dark, another attack by the Shu army appeared in the East City, West City and South City.
After seeing signs of the city, Zhuge Liang was busy dealing with these things. After discovering that it was just a feint attack outside the city and not attacking the city, he stopped to rest.
At this time, Zhuge Liang remembered Liu Bei.
But deep down in his heart, Zhuge Liang always believed that Liu Bei would win without a doubt.
Even if we don't win, it's still a draw.
This is Zhuge Liang's self-confidence and his belief in Liu Bei.
However, Liu Bei led his troops to intercept Wang Can, but he had not returned in the middle of the night, nor had he sent any troops to deliver a message. Zhuge Liang had doubts in his heart, and he also smelled an unusual aura. In Zhuge Liang's heart, he became more convinced that Liu Bei was still chasing Wang Can.
Can, or he was still confronting Wang Can, so no news was sent back.
It was Zhuge Liang who was suspicious, so he sent a group of soldiers to find out the news.
The captain who was leading the army was stunned for a moment and then ordered to continue on their way.
When they arrived at the Hero Building, the private soldiers of the major families had already filled their stomachs and were sitting on the ground with their eyes closed to relax. However, their weapons were also placed nearby, ready to fight at any time.
As soon as the Han army arrived, they were discovered by vigilant soldiers.
The captain noticed something was wrong and immediately withdrew.
Liu Bei and Zhang Fei disappeared, but only the rebel private soldiers remained, and the answer was ready to come out.
Ma Liang was not surprised when he learned that the Han soldiers had retreated, and did not send troops to pursue him. After dawn, they were about to attack the city gate, and the news that Liu Bei was killed was leaked. In addition, all the private soldiers were there.
To keep his spirits up, Ma Liang just reported the matter to Wang Can.
…
North City, on the tower.
When Zhuge Liang received the news from the Han military captain, he froze as if struck by lightning.
How can it be?
How could Liu Bei and Zhang Fei be killed?
Zhuge Liang didn't believe it, because Liu Bei brought elite soldiers to pursue him, and he also brought Zhang Fei there. Sun Qian and Jian Yong also cooperated with Liu Bei. With such strong strength, how could he be killed?
However, Zhuge Liang also noticed the pillar of fire that suddenly appeared in the city. When he was shocked by it, he also felt that it was unusual. The news came back that Wang Can was fine and there were patrols around, but Liu Bei was silent.
, without any news, he could already guess what the result would be.
Zhuge Liang quickly stabilized his mood and immediately summoned his close soldiers to prepare for the funeral arrangements.
At this time, Zhuge Liang already felt huge pressure on his shoulders, because before Liu Bei left, he had already handed the pregnant wife into his hands.
This is why Zhuge Liang feels pressured.
Zhuge Liang didn't know whether the child in Mrs. Liu Bei's belly was a boy or a girl, but he already knew that even if the child was born, it would not be able to influence the overall situation.
If Liu Bei succeeds in occupying Xiangyang, there will still be a place for Liu Bei in the world.
After Liu Bei died, the Liu family only had one bloodline left.
Next, Zhuge Liang not only has to consider the inheritance of Liu Bei's bloodline, but also his safety. As for the idea of revenge for Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang does not have it in his heart, and he will not be so impulsive. Liu Bei handed his wife over to him, so he would not let Zhuge Liang
The idea of raising an army for revenge was impossible because Zhuge Liang had to take care of Liu Bei's heirs.
It was late at night and the bright moon hung high, but Zhuge Liang could not calm down on the tower.
…
Outside the city, in the Shu army camp.
When Lu Meng was still resting in the camp, he received a message from the soldiers saying that there was a fire shooting into the sky in the city. After receiving the news, he put on his clothes and immediately found Guo Jia and Xu Shu.
Guo Jia and Xu Shu also saw the fire in the city. Xu Shu looked calm and Guo Jia smiled.
After Lu Meng saw the two men, he asked: "Uncle Guo, Military Advisor Xu, what do you think about the sudden fire in the city?"
He spoke very fast and seemed very worried.
Wang Can's safety is extremely important, and the fact that Xiangyang was not conquered during the day also put huge pressure on Lu Meng. In addition, Wang Can stayed in the city, which made Lu Meng even more uneasy. These continuous incidents disturbed Lu Meng's spirit.
I can no longer calm down and consider the problem carefully. Being in the middle of the game, it is difficult to see the situation clearly.
Guo Jiaxiao said: "Amon, my lord is safe and sound."
Lu Meng immediately asked, "Why?"
Xu Shu then said: "Little general, if Liu Bei defeated the lord, it would just be a publicity, and it would not be possible to start a fire. The fire is soaring to the sky, and the people in the city will guess what happened. Is something big happening again? Is there someone there?
Raising troops to cause chaos in the city? This will destabilize the people, so Liu Bei will not do this. This will only happen if the lord is alive."
Lu Meng thought for a moment and said expectantly, "I hope so!"
