Chapter 90 Weijing County

Zhang Guang, Wei Zhen and Xu Shu did not stay in Pang Tong's house for long, and at dawn the next day, the three of them took a few pieces of pancake and walked on foot to Zhonglu outside the southern city of Xiangyang, where there was a horse trading market.

Jingzhou is much more stable than Yanzhou, and it also retains a horse trading market.

Wei Zhen and Xu Shu each bought a horse, and when they arrived in the mountains, Zhang Guang's thin horse Longjiu took the initiative to appear.

This Long Jiu is also strange, when Zhang Guang doesn't need it, he can't see the shadow, as long as Zhang Guang lets out a long howl, he will appear immediately.

The three of them crossed the river from Xia Pheasant to Xunyang County, Lushan County, and then rushed all the way east to Jing County.

Xu Shu found that since entering Yangzhou, more and more people gathered around Zhang Guang, although none of them came forward to recognize each other, with Xu Shu's eyesight, he could naturally see that these people were Zhang Guang's subordinates.

Arriving in Lingyang County, Sun Qing took dozens of people to wait for Zhang Guang outside the city.

Because after Sun Qing came to Lingyang, he purchased enough grain and grass, so Zhang Guang and the others did not enter Lingyang City again, and rushed directly to the outside of Jing County.

"Sun Qing, what is the situation in Jing County now?" Zhang Guang asked.

"Lord Yu, Sun Ce's subordinate Huang Gai, led thousands of troops to try to attack for a day a few days ago, but it didn't work, and he returned to Danyang County."

"Then we have to hurry up, since Huang Gai has already come to explore, in less than a month, Sun Ce will definitely personally lead the army to attack Jing County, we must capture Jing County before Sun Ce arrives, and capture Tai Shici."

"Don't worry, my lord, I have planted eyeliner around Danyang County, Sun Ce is now busy suppressing the Shanyue bandits around Danyang, and it is estimated that he will not be able to spare his hands to fight Jing County within a month."

"Well, that's good, let's go, go to Jing County!"

Zhang Guangzao let out a roar, and nearly a thousand people quickly emerged from the surrounding mountains and forests, followed by Zhang Guang, and rushed to Jing County.

Arriving in the mountains and forests in the western suburbs of Jing County, Zhang Guang found that Sun Qing had placed far more than 3,000 soldiers and horses here, but 6,000 people.

"Lord, these are the Shanyue bandits I recruited along the way, thinking that since you are going to attack Jing County, it is good to bring them and make a show." Sun Qing took the initiative to explain.

"Well, then let them follow first, Xu Shu, what do you think about attacking Jing County?" Zhang Guang turned to ask Xu Shu.

"Although the city of Jing County is small, but now there are many soldiers in the city, and the food is enough, when Liu Xuan, the former assassin of Yangzhou, fled to Yuzhang to take refuge with Liu Biao, there were 3,000 Danyang soldiers who volunteered to stay with Tai Shici, plus Tai Shi Ci continued to collect the nearby Shanyue bandits during this time in Jing County, and the number of troops in Jing County was no less than 8,000."

"Eight thousand defenders, plus the advantage of city defense, although we have six thousand soldiers and horses, but what we can really fight is estimated to be the three thousand people brought by General Sun, three thousand against eight thousand, if you want to break the city, I'm afraid it's very difficult!"

Although Xu Shu had heard of Zhang Guang's power, he once joined forces with Dian Wei, and the two defeated 2,000 of Cai Mao's subordinates, but the Danyang soldiers under Tai Shici were far from being comparable to the Jingzhou soldiers under Cai Mao.

Moreover, this time it is a siege, not a melee with each other, and if you want to break the city, Xu Shu estimates that it will be difficult.

"Haha, Xu Shu, let you see how our Ninth Legion broke through the city." Zhang Guang got up and began to give orders.

"Sun Qing, gather everyone."

"Yes!"

More than 6,000 people, coming from all directions, soon formed a phalanx in the valley, and there was a sharp contrast between the special combat soldiers with strict military discipline and the Shanyue bandits who were disheveled in clothes and in a chaotic formation.

"You Shanyue, learn from the Yellow Turban Rebellion, you should have been beheaded, give you a chance to live, you don't need to attack the city, wait, as long as you line up behind the people of our Ninth Legion, remember, if anyone doesn't work hard, don't blame me for shooting directly."

Zhang Guang's words made the Shanyue bandits start to commotion, they originally thought that this time they would follow Sun Qing to attack Jing County, they would definitely be pushed to the front to charge, and if they didn't die, half would die and a small half, but they didn't expect that they didn't have to attack the city by themselves, as long as they followed behind to build momentum.

"Lord, don't worry, although our combat effectiveness is not good, there is definitely no problem in building momentum, listen to me, and when you get to the outside of the city, give me spiritual points, don't lose the face of our Shanyue Yellow Turban Army." Among the Shanyue bandits, there was a general who was estimated to be also leading the troops, and he took the initiative to go out to reassure Zhang Guang.

"Well, you can arrange for yourself how to let the people on the city wall see your might, and after we break the city, you decide for yourself whether to leave or stay." After Zhang Guang finished speaking, he ignored these Shanyue bandits, and together with Sun Qing, he led 3,000 special soldiers to the outside of Jing County.

The more than 3,000 mountains followed behind were indeed working hard, and the formation was much more neat than when they were in the valley just now.

For the team of more than 6,000 people that suddenly appeared this time, the defenders in the city were also panicked, and they were busy ringing the alarm bell in the city tower, Zhang Guang did not wait long, and saw Tai Shici appear on the city.

Seven feet and seven inches long, that is, about one meter eighty-five today, with a beautiful beard, ape arms around the chest, red armor with white edges, purple helmets on the head, double hard whips around the waist, holding a spear, a quiver on his back, and the guard next to him carrying a big bow, Zhang Guang recognized it as Tai Shici at a glance.

"Who is here, why do you want to surround my Jing County?" Tai Shi Ci asked in a shocking voice.

"Tai Shici, I'm not here to surround your Jing County, I'm here for you, anyway, after your Jing County is broken by Sun Ce in the future, you will also follow Sun Ce to fight the world together, so it is better to follow my Han master Zhang Guang to fight the world together."

Tai Shici's heart was shaken, because he had thought about it a lot these days, and he did have the idea of assisting Sun Ce to win the world if Sun Ce came to break the city.

"You are Zhang Guang? Your fame is very great, even Sun Ce, who has said many times that if you can help you and win the world, it is not a difficult thing, what? You, the great Han master, also want to take the world by yourself? ”

"Bold!" Sun Qing, who had just led the people to assemble the siege stone throwing vehicle and the bomb throwing vehicle, heard the sarcasm in Tai Shici's words, and was about to order the siege of the city, but Zhang Guang waved his hand to stop it.

"Tai Shici, I Zhang Guang is not to take the world, just to be able to give the people under his rule a stable life, after hearing that you are not a famous family, Tuqiang is studious to have today, and I should be able to understand the urgency of the people who want to live a stable life today."

"That's a good thing, the princes of the world, but one of them went to attack the city and plunder the land for the people of the world?" Tai Shi Ci scoffed again.

Zhang Guang didn't think much of Tai Shici's sneer, and said with a smile: "There is really one person, it is your former old friend, Liu Bei!" ”

Tai Shici was stunned, if he was more serious, Liu Bei really met the conditions that Zhang Guang said.
