Two days later, at dawn. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The pottery merchant sat on a war horse, led the Great Wei Xiong soldiers, and marched out of the dry camp and marched towards Xiangyang City.

Looking into the distance, the towering Xiangyang City is finally in front of you.

How important Xiangyang City is, pottery merchants who are familiar with history, how can they not know.

This Xiangyang city and the north bank of Fancheng, across the Han River, there is a mountain in the southwest direction as a barrier, since the Spring and Autumn Period, the Chu State has built a city here.

This city is located at the southern end of the Nanyang Basin, and to the north can threaten Wancheng and approach the Central Plains.

To the south, it can capture Jiangling, cut off the Yangtze River, and go down the river to threaten Jiangdong.

To the west, it can pass through Shuzhong and contact Yongliang in the northwest.

The pottery merchant still remembers that in history, the Southern Song Dynasty fought against the Mengyuan for decades, and it was precisely because the Mongolian army broke through Xiangyang that the entire Jianghan defense line collapsed, and was finally destroyed by the Mengyuan.

In the history of the Three Kingdoms, Guan Yu also did his best to conquer Xiangfan, all according to Jingzhou, only to be crossed by Lu Meng in white clothes and attacked Jiangling.

The land of Jingzhou, Xiangyang, Jiangling and Xiakou are the three major towns, forming an iron triangle.

And Xiangyang is the most important end of this iron triangle, and after seizing Xiangyang and the entire Jingzhou, it can be said that half of it has been taken.

Looking at Xiangyang City in front of him, the potter was full of spirits, and his face was full of pride.

Beside him, a faint fragrance came, and the potter glanced back, but saw that it was Zhang Chunhua who had arrived.

The potter smiled faintly and said: "Miss Zhang, you said that this king can't cross the Han River, and now this king not only crossed the Han River, destroyed Cai Mao's army, but also broke Liu Biao's main force, and the soldiers came to Xiangyang City, the bet between you and me, it seems that you lost." ”

Zhang Chunhua's delicate body shook, and in his beautiful eyes, there was unprecedented amazement and shock, looking at the young king in front of him, his mind was full of incredible.

After a long time, Zhang Chunhua sighed softly and said in a convincing tone: "The god of King Wei's use of soldiers is far beyond Chunhua's imagination. ”

"Since you lost, shouldn't you fulfill the bet?" The potter smiled, and moved his horse closer to her, turning his face toward her.

Zhang Chunhua's delicate face suddenly turned red, and he didn't expect the potter to be so wanton, and he wanted to ask her for a gambling contract before everyone.

After being shy for a long time, Zhang Chunhua secretly bit his red lips, closed his beautiful eyes, and leaned towards the potter with a red face, his red lips squirmed slightly, hesitated, and gently kissed the potter's face.

This kiss, the potter can feel how shy Zhang Chunhua is in his heart, and he can feel that Zhang Chunhua's love for him has added a little more.

He believes that it won't be long before she can marry him willingly.

The potter was in high spirits, couldn't help laughing, rode forward, and headed towards Xiangyang.

After walking for a few miles, the scout in front rushed to him and shouted: "Your lord, Liu Biao has abandoned Xiangyang and led the whole army to flee to Jiangling. ”

The soldiers on the left and right were all excited by this information.

The potter's eyes also lit up, and he sneered: "How important is Xiangyang, Liu Biao, an old dog, actually abandoned it?" ”

"The Xiangyang Navy Division has been destroyed, the infantry army has been hit hard, Liu Biao is defending Xiangyang, and he will only be besieged in the city, he is afraid of repeating the mistakes of the Yuan family, so he has to flee." Zhang Liang next to him said with a smile.

"Liu Biao, this old dog, is smarter than Yuan Shang, and he has worked hard to run Xiangyang for so many years, and he will give it up."

The pottery merchant sneered, and pointed at Xiangyang, "Liu Biao gave Xiangyang away, this big gift, how can we not appreciate it, and release the city with this king!" ”

The potter's horse is like the wind, straight into Xiangyang.

In the afternoon, Xiangyang City, the state of Jingzhou and the strategic town of Jianghan, planted the battle flag of the Great Wei.

After descending to Xiangyang without a fight, the potters were not in a hurry to lead their troops south to pursue Liu Biao.

Liu Biao took the initiative to retreat, and there was no burden and family drag, and the speed of escape must not be slow.

And because the pottery merchants' southern expedition to the war was fast, the battle line was too long, and the grain and grass transportation was already a little unable to keep up with the speed of the troops, and when Liu Biao fled, he set fire to Xiangyang's grain and burned it clean, so the pottery merchants also had to wait until a large number of grain and grass arrived in Xiangyang, and there was no logistical worries, before they could continue to raise troops and take Jiangling in the south.

Moreover, because Xiangyang is different from Xinye, this place is the state of Jingzhou, where the capital of Chu is located, the pottery merchants must stop for a while and do the work of appeasing people's hearts.

Although the potters did not raise a large army, they immediately pursued southward, but they divided their light cavalry to pursue those powerful people of the world who fled south with Liu Biao.

The potters had already received information in advance, and Liu Biao began to evacuate those powerful clans in advance, but due to the speed of his own troops, Liu Biao did not have time to withdraw them.

These powerful clans are the foundation of Liu Biao based in Jingzhou, and they are also the objects of Shang Ying's reform to be eliminated.

At that moment, thousands of light horsemen, divided their troops everywhere, went to various places near Xiangyang, to exterminate those fleeing clans.

The potter also personally led more than 1,000 light horsemen to the south from Xiangyang and pursued the fugitive clan along the avenue.

After the iron cavalry went south and chased out more than 20 miles, the potters caught up with a group of more than 500 Chu soldiers, escorting a convoy and hurriedly fleeing to the south.

If you can use 500 soldiers and horses to protect these convoys, presumably the clan in the convoy must be one of the several major clans and have an important position.

The potter didn't say a word, and immediately rode up with an iron horse.

The five hundred Chu army foot soldiers, who were the hands of the Great Wei Iron Cavalry, were scattered in a blink of an eye, and the convoy they protected was intercepted by the potters.

The potter caught a few soldiers and interrogated them, only to know that this team of soldiers and horses was actually led by Liu Qi himself, and the escort was the Huang family, one of the four major families of Jingxiang.

This can't help but make the potter a little strange.

It stands to reason that the Huang family is one of the four major families of Jingxiang, with a prominent status, far more important than the other families, Liu Biao should have escorted them to evacuate Xiangyang a few days in advance, how could he send the Huang family away when he abandoned Xiangyang.

The pottery merchant interrogated the captives again and learned that Huang Chengyan, the head of the Huang family, did not go out to work for Liu Biao, and even refused Liu Biao's proposal several times, and even refused to evacuate from Xiangyang.

Liu Qi's persuasion several times was fruitless, and now that Xiangyang abandoned the guard, Liu Qi used force to forcibly move the Huang family away.

Liu Biao didn't expect that he would be chased by the potter's horse, and in fear, he abandoned the Huang family and fled alone.

"Sure enough, it's similar to what was said in the intelligence, the Huang family didn't help Liu Biao, so it seems that the Huang family can be let go, and they can be set up as a model......"

The potter already had an idea in his heart, so he turned his horse back and wanted to go and see the head of the Huang family in person.

At this moment, dozens of mule carts of the Huang family were surrounded by hundreds of Wei iron cavalry.

In the midst of the encirclement, the old Huang Chengyan was sitting cross-legged under a tree, with blood on his arms and seemed to be injured.

And beside him, there was a beautiful girl in a yellow shirt, who was his daughter Huang Yueying.

The father and daughter of the Huang family both had the word "uneasy" written on their faces, fearing that these brutal Wei soldiers would rush up and wipe out their Huang family.

But I didn't want to, the Wei army surrounded it for a long time, but there was no movement.

Just when the fox was suspicious, the encirclement suddenly cracked, and a young general, under the fearful gaze of everyone, walked into the encirclement with his head held high.

The father and daughter of the Huang family immediately saw that the person who came was not an ordinary person, and their nerves immediately tensed, Huang Chengyan subconsciously stood up, and Huang Yueying hurriedly held her father's arm.

The potter saw at a glance that the old man with extraordinary bearing must be Huang Chengyan, so he turned over and dismounted, walked forward, and said with a slight smile: "I have admired Mr. Huang's name for a long time, but fortunately this king came in time, otherwise I would not have had a chance to see him." ”

The father and daughter of the Huang family were shocked, and when they heard that the heroic general in front of them actually called himself "this king", they suddenly guessed seven or eight points.

Huang Chengyan was injured, and he was shaken for a while, but he didn't know what to say.

Huang Yueying raised her eyebrows slightly, took a deep breath, and asked softly, "I don't know the name of this general?" ”

The potter smiled and did not answer.

Behind him, Jing Ke said: "Girl, standing in front of you, but I, the king of Great Wei, have not yet seen the courtesy." ”

"The King of Great Wei, you are the pottery ......" Huang Yueying was taken aback, her appearance changed suddenly, and she opened her mouth to call the name of the pottery merchant.

Huang Chengyan shouted urgently: "Yueying, don't be rude." ”

Huang Yueying woke up at this time, realizing that she was open-mouthed, covered her lips with her bare hands, looked at the potter's eyes, and couldn't help flashing a trace of fear.

"There is no need to be formal, this king has long admired Mr. Huang's name, after breaking through Xiangyang, I heard that Mr. Huang's family was robbed by Liu Qi, so he specially led the iron horse to help, fortunately, this king came in time."

While speaking, the potter saw that Huang Chengyan was injured on his arm, thinking that he was accidentally injured by his own soldiers and horses, so he called Bian Que, who was accompanying him, to go forward to treat his injury.

The father and daughter of the Huang family were stunned for a while, obviously they didn't expect that the potter's attitude towards them would be such courtesy.

Seeing that the medicine was ready, the potter simply stepped forward, took the bandage from Bian Que's hand, and bandaged Huang Chengyan with his own hands.

The king of Great Wei, the potter of Megatron, actually bandaged his wounds in person, even Huang Chengyan, who was indifferent to fame and fortune, felt a little flattered at the moment.

Huang Yueying's delicate body also shook, and with a curious gaze, she quietly looked at the potter.

"Okay, the wound has been bandaged, and the king still has something to do, so I will send someone to escort you home first, and then I will visit Mr. Huang." The potter smiled at Huang Yueying again, then turned over and galloped away.

The slight smile made Huang Yueying's heart move, and her face was a little faint.

"It is said that the pottery merchant is brutal, and he wants to exterminate the world, it seems that the old man expected it to be good, what he wants to get rid of is just the family that threatens his royal power, the old man insists on not acting for Liu Biao, it seems that he is doing the right thing......" Huang Chengyan stroked his white beard and sighed with emotion.

At this time, Huang Yueying's slightly rippling mood calmed down, and when she looked up again, the young and mighty figure had already disappeared into the blood mist and dust.
