"Lord, woe to you, woe to you!"

Zhang Xian frowned, flicked his sleeves and said with a slight displeasure: "Hmph, why are you so flustered?" ”

"Lord, Linxiang has been captured by Zhang Xiujun three days ago, and the back road of our army has been cut off." The scribe cried out in pain, his expression full of fear.

"What did you say?" Zhang Xian was instantly annoyed, grabbed the placket of the scribe's shirt and shouted: "You don't want to talk nonsense, Zhang Xiujun is obviously confronting Liu Biao in Xiangyang, how can he appear in Changsha?" ”

"Isn't it that all the armor soldiers under his command can't fly?"

"My lord, this is true!" The scribe's voice trembled, and he said bitterly: "It was Zhang Xiu's subordinate general Wen Ping, who led the army to attack the rear of our army after taking Jiangxia. ”

"And the rear of our army is empty, it is difficult to resist at all, only a few hours, Linxiang is broken, and now Linxiang has fallen into the hands of thieves."

Hearing this, Zhang Xian's eyes widened angrily, he took two steps back, and the whole person was a little distracted, and then he said urgently: "What about my wife and children?" Where are they now? ”

"No, I don't know, I think it should still be in Linxiang City, I'm afraid it's already more than lucky." The scribe looked sad, he never expected Zhang Xiu to sneak up on their rear.

After all, it seems that Zhang Xiu is the weakest in the three parties, so he doesn't dare to swallow the entire Jingxiang in one bite!

Zhang Xian shook his head in fear, his expression was full of grief, and for a long time, he said as urgently as if grasping a life-saving straw: "Quick, send orders to the three armies, follow me back to Linxiang, and kill the enemy general." ”

"No!" The scribe nodded helplessly, this is the only way to do it at the moment, otherwise if the three armies know that Linxiang has fallen, I am afraid that they will not be able to return to Changsha, and this army will be dispersed.

After all, their wives and children are all in Changsha.

Immediately, Zhang Xian didn't have time to enjoy the joy of victory, so he hurriedly left 5,000 armor soldiers to defend the city, and then led tens of thousands of horses back to Linxiang.

Linxiang is its foundation, and it must not be lost.

Along the way, Zhang Xian kept giving orders to gallop.

......

The next day, on the official road south of Xiangyang.

Zhang Xiu left Huang Zhong to guard Xiangyang, personally led 30,000 strong soldiers to conquer Jingnan, and at the same time sent Cai Mao to lead 20,000 boat divisions to accompany him, which can be regarded as advancing by land and water.

The army was accompanied by Xu Shu, and Cui Jun stayed in Xiangyang to temporarily take charge of Jingxiang government affairs.

Glancing at Xu Shu, Zhang Xiu said with a solemn face: "Yuan Zhi, is there any news from Zhongye?" ”

Xu Shu shook his head and replied in a deep voice: "Not yet, I think it has arrived in Linxiang, and it is estimated that there will be news in the next few days." ”

"Uh-huh, I hope it's safe."

Zhang Xiu sighed, quite worried about his safety.

At this time, a fast horse galloped over and shouted, "Lord, Jia Xu's military division is in a hurry." ”

Zhang Xiu raised his eyebrows, and immediately motioned for Xu Shu to take it.

Zhang Mu quickly swept over, Xu Shu frowned and said: "Lord, Yuan Shu has been defeated, Cao Cao has broken through Yuan Shu's pseudo-capital Shouchun seven days ago, and now Yuan Shu has fled south across Huai." ”

"Yuan Shu is defeated?" Zhang Xiu was quite speechless: "This Yuan Shu is really stupid and funny, how can there be tens of thousands of armor soldiers under his command, even if he closes his eyes, Cao Cao will not be able to capture Shouchun in two months!" ”

However, it seems that because of his own relationship, these historical lines have advanced a lot, and Cao Cao did not attack Yuan Shu so quickly in later generations, so I really don't know what will happen after that.

Shaking his head, Zhang Xiu didn't think much about it, and said instead: "Wen Heke once said something else in the letter? ”

"No, but now that Yuan Shu has been defeated, Cao Cao's next target will definitely be Xuzhou, Xuzhou Lu Bu and Xiaopei Liu Bei are each other's lips and teeth, and I am afraid that Cao Cao will be difficult to determine in the short term."

Xu Shu's face was solemn and he said contemplatively.

"Hehe, I'm afraid not." Zhang Xiu sneered and shook his head, and then said: "Lu Bu is insatiable, but Liu Bei is determined to be in the world. ”

"What's more, Liu Bei and Xiao Pei keep recruiting troops and horses, as long as Cao Cao makes use of it, it is estimated that there will be a battle between Lu Bu and Liu Bei in the near future."

"In this battle, Liu Bei will be defeated, and Lu Bu will win. At that time, Cao Cao will definitely raise three armies and conquer Lü Bu. ”

If Zhang Xiu remembers well, in 198 years in history, Lü Bu attacked Liu Bei, Liu Bei was defeated and defected to Cao Cao, and then Cao Cao led the army to attack Lü Bu, and finally besieged the city for several months, flooded Pi and won.

A hint of surprise flashed between Xu Shu's eyebrows, but it was possible to think about it carefully, and immediately said: "If Cao Cao wins, then he will be in the Central Plains and face Yuan Shao across the river." ”

"I'm afraid that in less than three years, the two of them will have a fight!"

Speaking of this, his eyes were scorching, and he said in a deep voice: "My lord, after all Jingzhou is occupied, our army should be a strong soldier and a horse, waiting for the changes in the Central Plains. ”

Zhang Xiu nodded, the Central Plains has changed in the past three years, and it is too early to say at this time.

However, according to his thoughts, when Jingzhou is stable, Fang Li will fight his troops, and then fight Jiangxia and Nanyang respectively.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiu frowned, and the east of Jiangxia was Yangzhou.

Sun Ce thought that it would not be long before he would take Danyang, and in later generations, he had been secretly forming an alliance to kill Liu Biao and the defeated Yuan Shu.

And in this life, Liu Biao died early, Yuan Shu was defeated and fled half a year early, and it didn't take long for Sun Ce to occupy Danyang and Yangzhou.

At that time, he will inevitably march into Jiangbei and attack Jiujiang and Lujiang.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiu couldn't help frowning.

Lujiang? He seems to have missed something, does Lujiang have something he likes?

…………

A few days later, Changsha was under the city of Xiang.

Tens of thousands of troops came in a mighty way, but when they saw the banner rising in the wind on the head of the city, they couldn't help but turn their heads and look frightened.

They never expected that Linxiang had fallen, and their lord was in such a hurry to bring them back just to recover Linxiang, right?

Zhang Xian's eyes were gloomy, he slapped his horse forward, looked at the head of the city, his body trembled, and shouted angrily: "Hey, you are a treacherous villain who betrayed the alliance and attacked him." ”

At the head of the city, Wen Ping sneered and shouted: "If you want to attack, you will attack, where is there so much nonsense?" ”

"You," Zhang Xian's face turned pale and he was extremely annoyed.

"Order the three armies, prepare to attack the city, if you can't take Linxiang, all of them will be brought to me to see you."

When the words fell, all the generals glanced at each other.

"Lord, no, our army is very short of siege equipment at the moment, so don't storm it!" On one side, the scribe hurriedly stepped out and said urgently.

"Hmph," Zhang Xian snorted coldly: "Even if there is only one single tree today, you must break through Linxiang City for me, if you dare to disturb the morale of the army again, I will punish you." ”

After speaking, he turned around, his eyes were like torches, and he drew his sword and shouted angrily: "Soldiers, your wives and children are all in the city, and today you can only enter the city by fighting to the death." ”

"Kill !! with me"

All the armorers were stunned for a moment, and then their heads were hot and rushed up, and the generals gritted their teeth and also raised their knives.

There is no way, Zhang Xian knows that this battle cannot be delayed, on the one hand, because he has no food, and on the other hand, the three armies have learned of this, if they can't take Linxiang in one go, I am afraid that the army will be disheartened.

In other words, at the moment, only a strong attack can have a glimmer of life, and of course, there is only a glimmer of life.
