Chapter 664: Three people and a dragon
"I didn't expect this Hua Xin to be so tricky!" Lu Meng, who was sent by Gao Yi to attack Nanchang, the seat of Yuzhang Zhi, had a smooth journey, and most of the other counties in Yuzhang looked down on the wind, but he planted a big heel here in Hua Xin, who was powerless, as the vanguard of the army, Lu Meng was really a little annoyed, and was complaining to the deputy generals Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai in the military tent at the moment.

Jiang Qin said: "I heard that after Liu Xuan's death, the imperial court sent this Hua Xin here, and he actually got the political affairs in order in a few months, which is really a great talent!"
Zhou Tai also said: "In return, Hua Xin also sent someone to contact Liu Biao and ask for a joint defense of Yuzhang, according to the report of the spies, Liu Biao is already gathering troops and horses, and it seems that he is coming at any time!"
"This will be troublesome!" Lu Meng knocked on the case a few times in annoyance, "I have to write a letter to the lord to see if he can send some more troops to come! Don't attack Nanchang for the time being, you two will lead troops to pacify other counties first, I don't believe that this Hua Xin can't come out to rescue!"
"No!"
LĂź Meng's letter soon reached Qu A Gaoyi's hands, and he knew the seriousness of the matter, so he asked Zhou Yu and Guo Jia to discuss.
Zhou Yu read the letter and said: "After pacifying Yan Baihu and Zu Lang, the generals under Bo Fu have been sent to various places to guard, and there are no more available generals!"
Gao Yi said: "I know this, and Liu Biao is supporting Hua Xin in the back, if we increase our troops in Nanchang, Liu Biao will inevitably increase our troops, and a big war will inevitably be inevitable at that time!"
Guo Jia said with a smile: "The big battle is good, if we fight, we will never lose, Yuan Yao and Yan Baihu's troops add up to more than 10,000 people, this is a combat power that cannot be underestimated!"
"Do you really don't know or don't know?" Yin Feng said angrily on the side, "How many fine works are waiting to make trouble in the entire Yangzhou now? How many princes from all over the country are watching this piece of fat? Not to mention, if Yuan Yao and Liu Biao join forces, how can we deal with it?"
"I said princess, you have a lot of worries, it's just a joke! Women are easy to get old like this!" Guo Jia said and suddenly coughed heavily, which made Gao Yi feel distressed again: "Did you drink again yesterday?
"It's much better than when I was in the north!" Guo Jia coughed for a while and then smiled, "Childe, you are right, the north is indeed cold, sometimes you can cough for most of the day a day, and after arriving in the south, it has eased a lot, and you only cough two or three times a day!"
Zhou Yu said: "It's true that the cold in the south is not heavy, but the yin is heavy, and there is no way to eradicate your disease!"
Guo Jia said: "Don't mention the things I brought in my mother's womb, it's still a major military matter!"
Gao Yi smiled mysteriously: "I already have a countermeasure to this!"
The two of them asked in unison, "What countermeasures?"
Gao Yi smiled and said nothing: "The secret of heaven must not be leaked, come here, go and find General Guan Hai, I have something important to order!"
Guan Hai and Chen Wu were practicing Yuan Yao and Yan Baihu's surrender, although it was almost winter, both of them were shirtless, correcting the posture of the soldiers from time to time, and also playing a set of marksmanship to show the soldiers every now and then, which attracted bursts of cheers.
The soldiers who came to summon Guan Hai were also a little stunned, and it took a long time to remember what they were doing here, so they said: "General Qiyu, the lord has something important for you to go quickly!"
"Oh, what will happen at this time?" Guan Hai glanced at the visitor suspiciously, and said to Chen Wu.
Chen Wu took Guan Hai's clothes and put them on him, and said: "Since there is something important, it must be a good thing, are you going to war, general?"
"Who are you fighting?" Guan Hai got dressed and muttered, "Now the entire Yangzhou except Yuzhang has basically been pacified by us, I heard that Lu Meng's kid will send a battle report to the lord in three days, according to this situation, I can't see that Yuzhang is too guarded in a few days to be his kid!"
"Hahaha, isn't the general still unhappy that the Lord didn't send you to fight Yuzhang?" Chen Wu said with a smile.
Guan Hai laughed and said: "Where do I have such a careful eye, I'll leave it to you here, I'll go to the council hall to see what the lord is going on!"
As soon as he entered the conference hall, Guan Hai saw Gao Yi Yinfeng and Zhou Yu and Guo Jia discussing something together, so he stepped forward and said, "Lord!"
Gao Yi saw that Guan Hai was coming, and said with great joy: "General Guan Hai is here, just waiting for you!"
Guan Hai wondered, "What's the matter?"
Guo Jiadao: "People say that there is a saying in Beihai that there are three people and one dragon, does the general know?"
Guan Hai said: "Naturally, my eldest brother Guan Ning is the dragon head, Bing Yuan is the dragon body, Hua Xin is the dragon tail, three people and one dragon!"
Yin Feng said: "Then does the uncle know that this Yuzhang Taishou is the dragon's tail?"
Guan Hai exclaimed: "Hua Xin, isn't he an official in the court?"
Zhou Yu said: "Originally, yes, but the imperial court sent Hua Xin to serve as the Taishou of Yuzhang shortly after our army began to attack Yuzhang, Lu Meng didn't know this relationship, and he wanted to take Yuzhang in one go, but he didn't expect to suffer a defeat in front of this Hua Xin!"
"Huh, Lu Meng, this kid is defeated?" Guan Hai's eyes widened, but he subconsciously laughed.
Gao Yi said speechlessly: "What kind of expression do you have, the dead and wounded are all our soldiers!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Guan Hai knew that he was out of shape, and hurriedly held back a smile, "Lu Meng, this kid is doing things in a hurry, and he has always wanted to independently command a force to fight, but he didn't expect to be planted so quickly! Didn't he make some military orders when he left?"
"I'll talk about the military order later!" Gao Yi said, "I originally thought that after Liu Xuan's death, Yuzhang had no one to guard, so we took the opportunity to pick up a big bargain, but we encountered such an accident, I brought you here in the hope that you can let your eldest brother in Liaodong write a letter to Hua Xin, affirming the righteousness!
"That's it!" Guan Hai was a little disappointed after hearing Gao Yi's words, but he still clenched his fists and said to Gao Yi, "Don't worry, my lord, I'll let Ah Xian write a letter to the eldest brother, it's just that Liaodong is thousands of miles away from here, let's not say whether the eldest brother will agree to persuade Hua Xin, even if he agrees, I'm afraid it will take months to go back and forth!"
"I know this, so I will first order Lu Meng not to start another war with Hua Xin, but to temporarily pacify the counties around Yuzhang first, at that time Hua Xin only had Nanchang and Chaisang, even if there is no letter from Guan Ning, Hua Xin has no strength to defend the city!"
Zhou Yu said: "But Hua Xin is not a fool after all, it is impossible to watch General Lu Meng capture his territory and be indifferent!"
Guo Jia also said: "Yes, if Liu Biao goes down the river, we must not be unguarded!"
"I've thought of this too, so I have to be prepared with both hands!" Gao Yi said, "Gongjin, you go to Wu County to replace the director of Bo Fu, let him lead the army to come, I will personally go to Yuzhang with Bo Fu, and persuade Hua Xin to surrender as soon as he can, if he can't, he can only start fighting, and at the same time order Xu Sheng Dong to attack and defend the Yangtze River!"
Guo Jiadao: "It seems that the lord has made a big move! Fighting Hua Xin is secondary, and fighting Liu Biao is the most important thing, right?"
"I don't think of that level until the last resort!" Gao Yi said, "But the heart of guarding against people is indispensable!"
Zhou Yu said quietly: "No one is willing to fight, this Liu Biao is even more unwilling, I think it is a bit difficult to solve the problem of Yuzhang peacefully, after all, if both armies are Chen soldiers and Yuzhang, it does not mean that the army can be withdrawn!"
Guo Jia said with a smile: "Then you have to take care of Ning's dragon head, and you can't hold Hua Xin's dragon tail!"
"How can the lord forget me?" Xu Chu's voice came from outside the conference hall, "Mr. Guo Jia and I came from Yanzhou, not to be idle all day!"
Guan Hai was about to retire, but was suddenly hit by Xu Chu who arrived at the door, Xu Chu's mountain-like figure of five big and three thick directly knocked Guan Hai into a gold star, Guan Hai took a long time to react, and everyone in the hall laughed.
Xu Chu hurriedly helped Guan Hai: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I'm sorry!"
"It's okay, it's okay!" Guan Hai squinted his eyes and said, "Zhongkang is really terrifying, fortunately you are not an enemy, otherwise I would really be worried!"
"Hahaha, General Guan Hai, don't make fun of me!" Xu Chu laughed quietly, "As soon as I heard that the lord was looking for you, I knew that I had a task for you, and I didn't want to be idle anymore!"
"Don't worry, it's all shared!" Gao Yi said, "Guan Hai, go quickly!"
"Eun, let's go!" Guan Hai rubbed his head and walked out with an embarrassed smile.
Xu Chu came to Gao Yi and hugged his fists: "Lord, I haven't fought much since I came to Yangzhou, and my hands have been itching for a long time!"
Gao Yi looked at Zhou Yu: "Gong Jin, do you see if you have any errands for Xu Chu to arrange?"
Zhou Yu looked up at the roof and thought for a while, so he said: "It seems that there is really none, now our troops seem to be a bit too much, and there is not enough food and grass!"
"Hey, hey, hey, isn't it!" Xu Chu was surprised, "Mr. Guo Jia said that I am a 10,000-strong enemy, you see that I can do what 10,000 people do with just ten people's meals, how cost-effective!"
"Poof!" Everyone was amused by Xu Chu, and laughed together, Guo Jia coughed while laughing: "Lord, don't embarrass Zhongkang, I am born to fight with him!"
"Okay!" Gao Yi stopped laughing, and Zhengse said, "This attack on Yuzhang is also counted as Xu Chu's share, I believe that with Lu Meng's bravery, Xu Chu's fierceness, Guan Ning's name, and Sun Ce's hope, we can fight another battle without a fight!"
On this day, Xuancheng is full of lights, filled with a festive atmosphere, people who don't know which family still thinks that they want to get married, the people of Xuancheng look at the civil and military generals in Yangzhou all over the country dumbfounded, and can't help but admire.
An old man asked the young people around him: "What's going on, we haven't been so happy in Xuancheng for many years, right?"
The young man knew that the old man was almost deaf, and shouted into his ear: "Our new lord has pacified the whole of Yangzhou, and today we will hold a feast in the city to reward the army!"
The old man was confused and wondered, "Lord, what lord?"
The young man saw a group of people and horses surrounded by several generals in full costumes, led by the heroic Yinfeng, pointing at her and saying to the old man: "It's her, our princess of Wannian, Yinfeng!"
The old man was still muttering to himself: "Shouldn't the princess be surnamed Liu?
"It doesn't matter what the surname is, it's an important thing, now that Yangzhou has been pacified, Yuan Yao has been driven out of Qu'a, and the Shanyue people have also surrendered, everyone can live with peace of mind in the future!"
When the old man saw Yin Feng actually walking in front of him, he couldn't help but be surprised, and in fright, he trembled and was about to kneel: "The grass people have seen the princess!"
Yin Feng immediately helped the old man up: "No need to be polite, the old man is an elder, not only that, in the future, this kneeling ceremony will be exempted, I Yin Feng only wants to benefit the people, and I don't need this lot of red tape!"
Tai Shi Ci immediately heard Yin Feng's words, and said angrily: "The princess is really a figure who has won the hearts of the people!"
Lu Meng listened and said: "Brother Taishi, what you said is not right, the princess has always won the hearts of the people and obeyed the will of the people, and this Yangzhou can be held and defended, what a good thing it is!"
The orchestra said coldly: "I know General Taishi's worries, are you thinking about what the imperial court will think of the lord?"
Tai Shi Ci nodded: "Yes, sometimes the starting point is good, but it may not be understood by everyone, if you are weak, others will wantonly bully you, if you are strong, others will unite and wantonly bully you, the troubled times are originally an unreasonable world!"
"That's right!" Gao Yi naturally heard their conversation, he turned around and said with a smile, "I've already thought of a countermeasure!"
"What countermeasures?" the three of them asked together.
Gao Yi smiled and said nothing, and then the herald came to report and said, "Lord Qiqi, Lord Sun Ce and his party have arrived, and they are waiting in the conference hall at this moment!"
"Okay!" Gao Yi glanced at Tai Shici and the others, and then said to the people, "Everyone go back, the princess and we still have a lot of affairs to deal with, and the Gao family army doesn't want to be a team that disturbs the people!"
It doesn't matter if Gao Yi said this, the people have already listened to it, and they all praised it in unison.
