Chapter 158 The Cai clan is destroyed
Perhaps even a master like Kuai Yue who calculated everything did not expect that after being framed by him, Jingzhou military advisor Cai Mao, who was about to resist the desalination rate, was actually breached the city gate before he could hold on for a day.
The one who broke through the city gate was not any general under Liu Bei. The one who broke through Kuai Yue's almost perfect plan was a small figure in Xiangyang City.
You can even be called a rogue...
Xiangyang Luo Meng has no nickname because he is not from a wealthy family in Jingzhou. His family has some money but he has no connection with the aristocratic family.
It was not easy for his family to give him a name, and as for reading and practicing calligraphy, it all depended on his talent.
Usually he is the most troublesome, but the good thing is that although this person is extremely stubborn, he is filial, sincere in treating others, and has a lot of loyalty, so he is well-known in Xiangyang City.
He had wanted to become an official before, but he was unlucky enough to be in Jingzhou. Even though he thought he had some bravery and ability, he could not be appointed.
After Liu Xuande arrived, Luo Meng thought about taking refuge, but his father was getting older and his body became increasingly weak.
In order to prevent his father from being lonely at home, Luo Meng had no choice but to give up the idea of going out again, and instead took good care of his father in Xiangyang City.
Now that his old father has passed away, Luo Meng no longer has any worries. When Cai Xun showed off his power, he stood up and angrily rebuked Cai Xun.
In the end, after a fierce fight, he beheaded Cai Xun, gathered the people, captured the Xiangyang arsenal, took weapons and armor, and directly broke through the gate of the East City.
Dare to let Liu Bei's army in before it completely returns to camp.
When Liu Bei saw the city gate open, he didn't even have the slightest intention to rush in and kill him personally. His subordinate Chen Dao also immediately led his army and youths to follow closely behind.
After a fight, Liu Bei made sure that there was no ambush at the city gate. After quickly capturing the city, he also sent troops to clean the city and counterattack the city wall.
At the same time, the other three city gates were ordered to continue fighting. This is a God-given opportunity!
One side of the Xiangyang City Gate was breached, which caused the morale of the defenders of Xiangyang City to plummet to the bottom.
Not to mention useless people like Cai Zhong and Cai He who were already trying to escape. Even Cai Mao could only choose to retreat into the city and fight in the streets.
Cai Zhong, who was escaping, was bumped into by Zhang Fei, who was rushing in. Both sides were stunned for a moment and then let out a roar.
"Run!"
"Come die!"
With a completely different tone and completely different roar, Cai Zhong, who was wearing heavy armor, was directly stabbed to death by Zhang Fei on the spot, and his body was lifted high and flew out.
The thick armor still failed to protect his life. The eight-foot-long snake spear penetrated from the eye socket and pierced out from the back of the head. The bloody and tragic appearance made the Xiangyang defenders scream and kneel.
"Cai He!"
With the same roar, Liu Pan, who had just entered the city, was lucky enough to bump into Cai He, who was taking off his armor and trying to hide among the people.
After roaring angrily, Liu Pan jumped on his horse and charged toward Cai He with his spear.
Perhaps because he was too excited, the force was so great that the spear that was replaced temporarily broke immediately after piercing Cai He's body.
Cai Zhong and Cai He first fled and were then beheaded in Xiangyang City. This was almost the last straw for the Cai family in Xiangyang City.
Although Cai Hao felt helpless when he saw this, he could only retreat with his remaining thousands of soldiers and horses. Facing the enemies that were approaching step by step, Cai Hao finally returned to his family.
Cai's tall courtyard walls and portals now look so vulnerable...
"As early as today, we should have built Wubao in Jingzhou. Why did we need to do this..."
Cai Mao looked at Liu Bei's army that surrounded the Cai family, his eyes could not help but be filled with tears, and his whole body was filled with an aura of despair.
The sounds of fighting continued to reach his ears, and the enemies outside had begun to enter Cai's mansion.
The private soldiers were dead and wounded, the slaves were running away, and the men and women of the Cai family were crying and howling. The bleak appearance made Cai Hao return directly to the hall.
He originally wanted to sit here in Cai's hall and wait for Liu Bei to arrive, then he would angrily scold Liu Bei for being shameless, and finally die peacefully...
Yes, that's what he thinks, even if his legs are shaking uncontrollably, even if his lips are white and his face is ashen...
"If you can't hold on, don't hold on."
Just when Cai Mao couldn't help but close his eyes tightly and was trembling all over from the shouts of killing outside, a soft female voice came from behind him.
Opening his eyes and turning his head, he saw that the former Mrs. Mu of Jingzhou was also her second sister.
"Second sister, you shouldn't be here. Although Liu Xuande hates Cai, you are Liu Jingsheng's widow after all. As long as you are willing..."
"Are you going to survive by abandoning your family?" Ms. Cai sneered and directly interrupted Cai Mao's words, "Although I have never liked this family, if it were not for the Cai family, I am afraid my life would be even more miserable.
The Cai family has given me thirty years of good clothing and good food, so naturally I have no reason to abandon the family to survive."
"Second sister..."
"Finally, don't continue to be embarrassed!"
Ms. Cai directly interrupted Cai Mao's words, then took out the fire seal from her arms, easily lit the candlestick on the side, and pushed it to the side.
The flame spread from the candlestick, slowly igniting the curtains, igniting the table, igniting the beams and columns....
The fire slowly covered the entire hall, and the smoke became thicker and thicker. Cai Hao couldn't help but cough violently, and even made him want to escape.
But he was grabbed by his second sister.
"My father is gone, and you are the head of the Cai family. How could you die in such an embarrassing manner in front of outsiders?"
The hoarse voice appeared in Cai Mao's ears through the thick smoke, causing him to clench his fists, causing him to breathe heavily and making him cough more violently.
"Ah!" With a hoarse roar, Cai Mao turned around again, took the initiative to rush towards the fire, and actively threw himself into the fierce fire.
At the same time, the only remaining private soldiers in the back house of the Cai family also appeared here. They were all old people who had married into the prefectural pastorate with the Cai family.
He is the most loyal and reassuring person to Mr. Cai.
At this time, they looked at the panic-stricken back house, the female relatives whose beauty was pale, and the men whose legs were trembling and dared not raise their weapons.
The leader just took out the sword on his waist.
"In the name of my wife, I send all the Cai clan members to return to heaven!"
A fire also broke out in the back house of the Cai family, and the killing was even worse than before. The Cai family's ancestral hall was also covered in fire. The entire Cai family turned into a sea of fire the moment Liu Bei invaded.
