Chapter 65: The Defense of Xiakou

In the face of Pei Yun's menacing, Yuan Kai didn't take it very seriously, he firmly believed that his army was invincible in Dahuan, although Yuan Kai was full of confidence, he still had to make a layout. So he summoned his subordinates and discussed matters in the hall.

"General, Pei Yun has arrived in Jiangzhou and has now waved his troops north, and Lord Yuan in Jiangxia has already clashed with Ling Heng, Gao Chi stayed in Jiangzhou, and the spies found out that General Yuan is still in Jiangzhou." Gong Cao Fang Shouzheng reported one by one.

"Bang!" With a bang, Yuan Kai dropped the wine glass to the ground, and as soon as he mentioned that Yuan Zhen was still in Gao Chi's hands, Yuan Kai was angry.

"Bastard thing! Gao Chi, a treacherous villain, waited for General Ben to clean up Pei Yun, and then went to Jiangzhou to skin him alive! Yuan Kai gritted his teeth and said, although he kept insulting Gao Chi, but he had some regrets in his heart, he was too careless, thinking that as soon as Yin Hong died, Jiangzhou would have no backbone, and Yuan Zhen was enough to take Jiangzhou. I didn't expect this Gao Chi to have such ability, so I still underestimated him.

Under Yuan Kai's anger, all the generals did not dare to come out, and they were silent one by one.

Only Sima Xie Kuang looked at Yuan Kai's face, and when he saw that he had calmed down, he said loudly: "Pei Yun's soldiers rushed to Jingzhou in three ways, all the way to Xiyang in the east, and Echeng all the way to the west, and Pei Yun personally led the army to follow. ”

"What is the state of the battle at Mount Cisse?" Yuan Kai asked in a deep voice.

Fang Shouzheng replied: "General Hui, General Gan Ce has repelled Jiang'an Prefecture, and now they have retreated to Xisai Mountain, Xisai Mountain is steep, although the ships are connected, they dare not pass Guò." There is an iron chain in front of Xisai Mountain, and General Gan is pondering to burn the iron chain, so that he can go down the river. ”

Yuan Kai nodded, firstly, he had to defend Xiyang and Echeng, and secondly, if he could break the fortress of Xisai Mountain, then Pei Yun would have no danger to defend and could only retreat to Jiangzhou.

Yuan Kai glanced at the generals under the hall, and thought about it, Pei Yun must be suppressed under Xisai Mountain, if they are allowed to get Echeng, then Xiakou is in danger, so Yuan Kai is ready to send a force to Echeng, "General Xing?" ”

Xing Yunwen got up and said, "Here!" ”

"You will lead the troops to Echeng on the same day, and you must defend Echeng, and there will be no loss!" Yuan Kaiyan said.

"Yes!" Xing Yunwen replied loudly, picked up the talisman and walked out of the hall to prepare.

Then Yuan Kai asked Pei Yunping about the generals of the western army. Gong Cao Fang Shouzheng introduced him one by one.

After listening to Fang Shouzheng's words, Yuan Kai couldn't help but sneer a few times.

"Even these stinky boys dare to compete with my Jingzhou Tiger General!" Yuan Kai snorted coldly, those people in Jiangzhou and Yuzhou were just shrimp soldiers in his eyes, he Yuan Kai didn't take it seriously, he was very strange that Pei Yun didn't let Gao Chi accompany him, Gao Chi became famous because of the battle in Jiangzhou, if Gao Chi came to Jingzhou, he really had to be on guard. He hadn't seen anyone so good at the art of war in years.

Rong Jie, the veteran general under the hall, also chuckled and said: "General, I'm afraid that Pei Yun is thundering loudly and raining is small, so don't worry." ”

However, after all, he was a battle-hardened general, and after thinking for a moment, he had already sensed the weak link, he instantly turned his eyebrows worried, and continued: "And Jiangxia Yuan Gongzi needs general reinforcements, Ling Heng is a general, I am afraid that Yuan Shu Gongzi is not his opponent!" ”

Although Yuan Shu was appointed as the commander of Jiangxia, he had almost no major combat experience, and now he is in the important town of Jiangxia in the upper reaches of Xiakou, once it is lost, the consequences are unimaginable.

Yuan Kai was reminded by him, and he also realized the severity of Jiang Xia, and as soon as his thick eyebrows were raised, a fine light shot out, "Who is willing to go to Jiang Xia to fight against Ling Heng?" ”

Ling Heng was originally a strong general under Yuan Zhen, who had lived in Jingling for a long time, and had many achievements, and was known as the victorious general of Xiangyang. After all, he is well-known and familiar with Jing Xiang's troop arrangement, which can be described as a tough opponent.

In addition to Rong Jie, only Bao Zhizhi is left, Rong Jie will definitely not go to Jiangxia, but Bao Zhizhi is not ready to receive orders, one does not want to lose his identity and confront Ling Heng, and the other is afraid that if he can't fight, he will lose his prestige. He looked at the other young generals, hoping that someone would take the initiative to ask for help.

But Yuan Kai, Rong Jie, and Bao Zhizhi swept over, and no one in the hall said a word, and Yuan Kai's face couldn't help but look bad.

However, just as Yuan Kai raised his eyebrows angrily and was about to get angry, a silver-helmeted soldier stepped forward and listed, "The last general is willing to go to Jiangxia to assist Lord Yuan in exterminating the traitor Ling Heng." The voice was loud, and he looked up at Yuan Kai, his eyes were clear and untimid.

Yuan Kai has always had a strict expression, and he is too much to say, his cheekbones are protruding, his eyes are slightly sunken, and his deep and sharp gaze is like a flash of lightning, which is breathtaking, and the innate oppressive temperament makes people dare not look directly.

Therefore, in addition to the veterans who have followed Yuan Kai for many years, the other generals almost all trembled and trembled when they saw Yuan Kai.

And the young general in front of him was so calm, and that calm bearing made Yuan Kai and several generals look at each other differently. I saw that his face was like a crown of jade, his eyes were like meteors, his appearance was dignified, and he was quite personable.

Yuan Kai thought about it and didn't seem to be familiar with him, so he asked scrutinically, "What's your name?" How long have you been in my General's Palace? ”

The young general replied: "General Hui, the last general is called Lian Cheng'an, seven years ago, his parents were chased and killed, and he was rescued by General Xu who was passing by, and then he has been following General Xu to guard Yidu, so he doesn't often see the general. ”

Yuan Kai nodded, "What position do you have now?" ”

"The last general was originally General Xu's general, and was later promoted to General Xu's Sima because of his military exploits." Lian Cheng bowed back and said.

Yuan Kai looked at him when he heard this, and was not in a hurry to speak, Jiangxia must not be lost, Yuan Kai originally wanted to send a general to Jiangxia, although this matter was proposed by Rong Jie, but Yuan Kai still needed him to give advice by his side. Although Yuan Kai intended to let Bao Zhi go to Jiangxia before, he saw that Bao Zhi had no intention in his heart, and he didn't want to force it. If you really let the young general go to Jiangxia, you will really feel a little worried.

Yuan Kai thought about it and made a difficult choice, but he turned to think of the generals under Pei Yun, and said with a smile in his heart, he Pei Yun dared to bring some young generals all the way over, he was close to Jiangxia, could he still be timid, not to mention that now is the time for the old and the new to alternate, and it is also the time for young generals to emerge.

In fact, the stricter the person, when many people shun him, the more he tends to appreciate those who dare to approach him. And Lian Cheng'an, who was calmly behaving in front of him, just touched the special nerve in Yuan Kai's heart. So Yuan Kai made up his mind and prepared to let Lian Chengan go to Jiangxia.

"Good! General Ben admires courageous soldiers the most, and if you have such courage, General Ben will give you the opportunity to make meritorious contributions. Yuan Kai said with a rare smile, "I now appoint you as a lieutenant general, give you 10,000 soldiers and horses, and immediately send troops to Jiangxia!" ”

Lian Cheng'an's dark eyes lit up, and he said loudly: "The last general has commanded, thank you general!" Then he took the talisman and walked out of the hall.

Rong Jie looked at Lian Cheng'an's back in silver armor and walking farther and farther, he was still a little worried, he glanced at Bao Zhizhi with some complaint, and saw that he didn't care, quite helpless. Since Yuan Kai has already given the order, he has to do this, and then thinking that there is Xu Xiaoyuan in Jingling, there should be no big trip.

"Rank general, Pei Yun is General Ben's old opponent, he has always been steady and steady, maybe he is good at defending the city, but this time he has to attack, General Ben wants to see how good he is!" Yuan Kai held the desk in his hand, raised his wine glass and took a sip, "Come, after drinking enough, you will have a big fight with this Pingxi army!" Yuan Kai simply picked up the wine jug and poured it directly into his mouth, although he was arrogant, he rarely showed such a rough side. The generals were so infected that they followed his example and poured wine.

PS: I heard that the firefighters who died in Tianjin have all crossed over to Dahuan to become soldiers, do you believe it?
