Spring is three parts, two parts of dust, and one part of water. -------Northern song dynasty. Su Shi "Water Dragon Yin"

It is said that Wei Yan was on duty on the city wall of Changsha, and he thought that today would be another bloody battle, but he saw that the banner of the Su Dynasty camp was crooked, and the gongs were everywhere, and he was somehow. Seeing that the dust was rising after the big camp, he immediately made a decision, lit up the military horses, and went out of the city to the Su Dai camp. The camp really did not resist, and Wei Yan ordered all the camp tents to be burned and all the remnants were annihilated.

Wei Yanyi is a bold man, a single horse, like a hell killing god, killing straight to the back camp, and there is no rebel in front of him. When he came to Huang Zhong, he knew that it was the Lingling military horse who came back to Changsha to rescue. Wei Yan's cold gaze finally met Chen Long's eyes, and both sides felt chills.

Wei Yan was cold, because he saw that Chen Long was so young, and his army had such terrifying combat effectiveness, if he wanted to destroy Changsha, it was just a matter of probing for things; Chen Long's heart was cold, but it was Wei Yan's naturally cold gaze, which seemed to be the best testimony for the back of his head. No wonder Zhuge Kongming was so jealous of Wei Yan, did he want to recruit this famous general?

Wei Yan threw away the steel knife, turned over and dismounted, followed Huang Zhong to Chen Long, and arched his hand: "Lord Assassin Shi, under Wei Yan Wei Wenchang, is a partial general under Han Xuan, the Taishou of Changsha. Recently, the siege of the Soviet bandits is very urgent, and there is no rescue, if it is not for your righteous troops, Changsha is in danger. Please follow me into the city, and let Liu Pan Gongzi and Han Xuantai express their gratitude. ”

How can Long Chen still know Wei Wenchang? Although he had a conspiracy in the Meridian Valley, he was not adopted by Zhuge Kongming, but was recognized as having a rebellious heart, and was finally killed by Ma Dai's knife. Even Han Xuan died under his sword.

Chen Long groaned: "Go back and greet Liu Pan Gongzi and Han Xuan Taishou, and say that I have beheaded Su Dai and shot Chen Wen to death when I sent troops this time, and 50,000 rebels have been wiped out." There will be no more bandits in Changsha for a short time, but Lingling is empty, and I must quickly lead the troops back, so I don't have to enter the city. ”

After thinking about it, he said: "Lingling and Changsha, and even the entire Jingzhou, are all interdependent. I hope that Liu Pangongzi will bring a message to Jingsheng, and say that I took Hengyang as a supply base to rescue Changsha, don't be surprised. ”

After saying that, he bowed his hand and said goodbye to Wei Yan, called Huang Zhong alone and said a few words, and as soon as he mentioned the war horse, he turned his head and left. The generals followed, and several front teams of the Blue Dragon Army turned into rear teams, and tens of thousands of people died down and were in order, and the formations quickly disappeared at the end of the horizon.

On the battlefield where there were tens of thousands of soldiers just now, only Wei Yan and Huang Zhong, who were alone, were left with two horses, both staring blankly at the direction of the disappeared Chen Long's troops. Wei Yan also recalled Long Chen's righteous and awe-inspiring innocent gaze, and he really couldn't imagine that a local warlord could have such a compassionate gaze. couldn't help but ask Huang Zhong beside him: "Hansheng, you and I will go back to Changsha together." On the way, tell me about this Chen Long stabbing history, okay? How did he get you out? ”

Chen Long's biggest gain this time was nearly 30,000 surrendered troops. Chen Long adopted a Huairou policy, and anyone who was willing to follow him would let them pick up their families and move their families to Lingling; Those who are unwilling to follow the Qinglong Army to join the army will be given travel expenses to help them return to their hometowns. Most of Chen Long's soldiers have become free docents, and some soldiers from homeless backgrounds have come forward to tell how they have gone from war and chaos to Lingling to buy a house and live in peace with their families. The soldiers listened with relish, but most of the soldiers were willing to stay, and Chen Long allocated them to Xi Zhicai for training, so that he could form the Third Army with Huang Zhong in the future. In view of the fact that Huang Zhong wanted to obtain Liu Biao's movements in Youxian County and could not take up his post in the Qinglong Army for the time being, Chen Long appointed Sun Xia as the temporary deputy commander of the Third Army to assist Xi Zhicai in training his subordinates.

One of the generals attracted the attention of Chen Long, this person's surname was Zhu Minghuan, the word Xiumu, eight feet long, dignified, skillful martial arts, flexible eyes, eighteen years old, was already the leader of Wu County's righteousness, and was accidentally involved in the rebels. Chen Longguang's mind showed that in the official history, this person was a famous general of the later Eastern Wu, although he was not as good as Cheng Pu, Han Dang and other Jiangdong Twelve Tiger Ministers, but he was also a handsome man. And proficient in water warfare, it is exactly the naval talent that Chen Long urgently needs.

Chen Long had a long talk with Zhu Huan, and when he saw that although he was young, he was very ambitious, and said happily: "I know the talent of cultivating Mu. Today, the Lingling River is mixed, the lakes are criss-crossed, but the total number of sailors is only thousands, and I am about to use your talents. Would you like to build a good sailor for me? ”

Zhu Huan's young face showed a touch of joy, and he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The lord trusts me so much, how dare my subordinates live up to it." At that moment, Long Chen called Gan Ning and said: "Xingba, I know that you originally used water as your home, and it was only because there was no one to train the special forces that you handed it over to you to help me manage." Now that I am returning, I will personally lead the training of the special division, and it is enough to have Lu Chang to assist me. How can you waste your great talent in water combat, you are now appointed as the commander of the Lingling Water Army, as your military advisor, and there are three divisions under your jurisdiction, Yang Huai, Gao Pei, and Zhu Huan each lead one division for training. The plan and cost estimate for the deployment of warships are limited to 30 days for you to submit a written report and show it to me. ”

Gan Ning was overjoyed and said: "Lord, my subordinates are thinking that there are too few naval troops and are not suitable for fighting in the south. With your words, I will build an invincible naval army for Lingling. ”

Chen Long smiled: "Don't talk big about it yet. Jiangxia, Dongting, Jianye, Xiangyang, Jiangling, Changsha, Chaisang, etc., are all important places for the navy. Wait for your navy to sweep away these states and counties, and it's not too late for you to brag about it. ”

Not to mention that Chen Long wanted to establish an invincible Lingling Water Army, he showed that Huang Zhong and Wei Yan returned to the city victoriously, and did their best in front of Liu Pan and Han Xuan to save Chen Long and the Qinglong Army. Liu Pan had a beardless face and was quite handsome, and a hint of suspicion flashed on his young face: "It was actually Lingling's troops who made a righteous move?" ”

Han Xuan next to him was in his forties, with a narrow face, a thin body, and quite sophisticated manners. Han Xuan stroked his beard and said: "I heard that Long Chen has always been resourceful, good at selling fame and reputation, introducing homeless people, and showing virtue and politics, his ambition is not small. I heard that Empress He originally proposed to let him serve as the assassin of Jingzhou, but for some reason, the emperor only sealed Jiaozhou. ”

Wei Yan said: "That Chen Tingshi also said that he took Hengyang as the basis for the convenience of the rescue troops. This time, troops were sent from Hengyang to Youxian and Changsha, and only then did they suddenly wipe out the 50,000 troops of the Su Dynasty. ”

Han Xuan was taken aback, Liu Pan had already knocked on the back of the chair and said, "Long Chen is so bold!" Hengyang is near Changsha, this is the place I want to take, this matter must be reported to my father General Jingsheng immediately, so that he can allow me to send troops to recover Hengyang! ”

Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, who were standing in the hall, secretly slandered, but they didn't expect that this Liu Gongzi had just escaped from the predicament, and instead of thanking others for sending troops to save him, he could turn his face and want to recover Hengyang, which can be described as revenge. But the two of them had no right to speak, they both stood in place, bowing their heads to listen to what Han Xuan had to say.

Han Xuan followed Liu Pan's mouth and said, "What Liu Gongzi said is extremely true. Hengyang originally belonged to Jingzhou, there is no doubt about it. When General Ran Jingsheng first arrived in Jingzhou, his troops had yet to be trained, and Yuan Shu and his ilk were eyeing him. In the hurry, where can there be the forces to destroy Lingling. One is not good, even Changsha may be in danger, and please forbear for the time being. ”

Liu Pan knew that what Han Xuan said was the truth, one Su Dynasty would turn Changsha upside down, not to mention easily defeating Su Dai's Qinglong Army. Although Liu Pan is tough on his lips, he is actually very weak in kidneys, and he has no capital to fight against Chen Long at all.

Liu Pan's face became more and more ugly, he didn't say goodbye to everyone with a wave of his hand, and walked down the hall with no one in his eyes. Han Xuan let out a cool breath, sat down on the chair, and said to Huang Zhong and Wei Yan in the hall: "The world is restless, let me wait like sitting on pins and needles." Hansheng, you still go to Zhenshou County, and carefully Lingling movements. Wen Chang, although the Soviet army was wiped out, the troops still need to be reorganized, and the defense cannot be relaxed. With that, he stood up, straightened his clothes, and disappeared into the back hall.

Huang Zhong and Wei Yan looked at each other, and they both saw the helplessness on each other's faces. Liu Pan and his ilk, relying on being Liu Biao's relatives, are just powerful and blessed. His own commander, Han Xuan, how can he look like a soldier like a son, and the newly married baby in the back hall is what interests him. Chen Long sent troops

On the way back just now, Wei Yan had already chatted with Huang Zhong a lot, and he was becoming more and more curious about Chen Long. Although Chen Long did not reveal the intention of recruiting Wei Yan, Wei Yan already sensed Huang Zhong's good impression of Chen Long. In the entire Changsha County, Wei Yan only admired Huang Zhong's martial arts, especially Huang Zhong's one-handed marksmanship, which was even more unbeatable in the world. He has been under Han Xuan for many years, and he has become a deputy general, although he is still reused, but Han Xuan is quite weak and is controlled by others everywhere, I am afraid that if he continues to mix in Changsha, he will always be a middle-level officer.

Wei Yan is convinced that his talents are more than this, he practiced martial arts hard when he was young, read military books hard when he was young, and practiced martial arts, and he is also familiar with combat methods. If you can get a strong team, why can't you fight for dominance.

Thinking of this, Wei Yan sighed deeply and said goodbye to Huang Zhong. Huang Zhong knew that Wei Yanhuai had not met him, and he did not dare to recruit for the lord, looking at the back of Wei Yan, who bowed his head and left, he could only sigh deeply.

Huang Zhong had already received Chen Long's advice that before taking Guiyang, he had to keep an eye on Youxian County to block Zhao Fan's retreat from fleeing to Changsha. Once Guiyang was taken, Huang Zhong could go to Lingling via Guiyang to report to Chen Long and train his Third Army. At that time, who cares about Liu Biao and Liu Pan, let alone Han Xuan and Wei Yan, as long as he tries his best to assist and help the lord Chen Long to dominate the world. If Liu Biao dares to fight Lingling, then let him die on the battlefield.
