Chapter 193: Hiding from the Sky and Crossing the Sea

Preparation is slack, and common is not doubtful. ------------ "Thirty-six Strategies. The first plan》

It is said that with Zhao Yun's victory over his senior brother Zhang Ren with a trick, Jia Long's expeditionary force has been defeated. Chen Long had long known that Jia Long, as the leader of the local scholar clan in Yizhou, had a lot of dissatisfaction with Liu Yan, so he took advantage of the psychological advantage of comprehensive suppression and said the conditions that Jia Long could not refuse.

Jia Long is naturally extremely excited, if he can introduce a strong reinforcement like Chen Long, although it is inevitable that it will be another strong dragon to overwhelm the realm, but at least he can drive away the annoying Liu Yan.

Jia Long knew that if he didn't make up his mind today, he would inevitably miss the opportunity, and all the soldiers were worried about their lives, so he finally made up his mind, and his eyes swept to General Cai and a few personal soldiers who were standing on the edge in a daze. General Cai saw that something was wrong, and turned around to escape, but unfortunately he was weak and his martial arts were not good, so he was controlled by Zhang Ren and his people one by one.

Jia Long raised his hand and ordered everyone to lay down their weapons. These soldiers were all local disciples of Yizhou who Zhang Ren trained daily, so they naturally obeyed Jia Long's orders and threw down their weapons one after another.

Jia Long finally gave up his hand and said, "General Chen is invited." Although Jia Long is not talented, this operation is very secretive, but he was still discovered by the general. Jia was speechless, only admired. ”

Chen Long didn't speak, his tall figure stood still, Jia Long really didn't finish speaking, and continued: "My lord Liu Yan, regardless of General Chen's sending troops to help Hanzhong, was bewitched by Liu Biao and sent troops to Jiangling. The local officials in Yizhou are secretly despised. ”

"Now that General Chen has the upper hand, he will not kill the inferior, I think he has the sincerity to cooperate with us. General Chen said that as long as I reveal the situation of the Jiangling garrison, it will help me capture Yizhou, and I am convinced of it. But I don't know how the general is going to help me?" I hope that Chen Long will give some more practical promises.

Chen Long understood Jia Long's intentions, and said with a smile: "Such a far thing, how can there be any plan, as long as Jia Zhen helps me take Jingzhou, I will have the strength to help you send troops to Yizhou, and this matter is the cause and effect." Jia Zhen is a smart person, why don't you think about how to help me win Liu Biao? The implication is that he naturally has the advantage, and hopes that Jia Long will show sincerity first.

Jia Long lowered his head and thought slightly, picked up a steel knife from the ground, and walked in front of General Cai. General Cai didn't know what he meant, looked at Jia Long tremblingly, and said in a trembling voice: "Jia Long! You, you, you....... What does this mean? ”

Jia Long's face sank like water, and said, "General Cai, you don't want to blame me for being ruthless. Kill you to gain General Chen's trust. Before the ghost gate is closed, by the bridge, it is better to go to the next life as soon as possible. Zhang Ren pressed General Cai to his knees.

That General Cai was spineless, so frightened that he was so frightened that Zhang Ren couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his nose. General Cai wailed: "Jia Zhi is for the sake of drinking and having fun together on weekdays, spare your life!" General Chen, save me! I am also willing to offer Jingzhou troops! Jia Long ignored his pleading, and said hatefully: "It's better if you don't mention weekdays!" On weekdays, you rely on being a child of the Cai family in Jingzhou, and you are a powerful man, and you don't look down on me as a Yizhou, and today you are just taking revenge! The steel knife was raised, and it swung brightly at General Cai's neck.

Chen Long waved his hand casually, and a stone hidden in his hand flashed suddenly, and it had hit the steel knife in Jia Long's hand, Jia Long couldn't hold the steel knife, and as soon as he let go, the steel knife went straight into the darkness and disappeared.

Jia Long raised his empty hands in the air, looking at Chen Long at a loss, not knowing what to mean. Zhang Ren saw that Chen Long raised his hand in the dark night and hit the flying steel knife, and secretly admired it in his heart, knowing that what Zhao Yun said was true.

Chen Long cleared his throat and said: "I believe that Jia Zhi is sincere, and it is still useful for General Cai to stay, and I also ask Jia Zheng's subordinates to show mercy." By arrangement, he said: "Jia Zhi, you and order your subordinates to wait with me to camp at the foot of the northern foothills for the night." ”

There are some secrets, which are naturally inappropriate to speak in public, and Chen Long hopes to set up camp to settle the bill and have a good talk with Jia Long.

Huang Zhong led 300 Changsha soldiers to clean up the battlefield, Chen Long, Zhao Yun and a group of special forces of about 700 people, escorting more than 100 remnants of Jia Long, down the mountain road. General Cai was lucky not to die, and he was as frightened as mud and was carried down the mountain road by several of his own soldiers.

On the flat ground at the foot of the mountain, under the light of torches, Chen Long's troops quickly set up camp and drove the remnants of Jia Long's troops to a large tent to guard them. General Na Cai and several of his subordinates were also strictly guarded.

In Chen Long's military tent, he lit an oil lamp and had a detailed conversation with Jia Long overnight, with Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Zhang Ren present. Chen Long already had a bold plan in his heart, but the details had not yet been worked out. didn't hesitate at the moment, and spoke first: "Now, can Jia Zhan tell me about Jiangling's troops and arrangements?"

Jia Long 1510, poured beans from the bamboo tube he knew, Zhang Ren frowned, never said a word, it seemed that he had not had a chance to communicate with Jia Long, and Zhang Ren always refused to say the word surrender. Zhao Yun looked at Zhang Ren, and was helpless against his stubbornness, so he only asked someone to bring some wound medicine to Zhang Ren to take.

It turned out that Liu Yan sent troops this time, except for Jia Long who led his hundreds of soldiers to Xiangyang, the generals who really commanded the troops were Zhao Wei and Yan Yan, who led 50,000 infantry, and Wu Yi, who commanded 20,000 sailors. Jia Long only knew the approximate military strength, and as for how it was arranged, he was excluded from the real Yizhou military leadership group.

Chen Long asked Yan Yan and Wu Yijun about their approximate locations, and asked people to notify Guo Jia and Zhou Budo in Changsha overnight, and sent people back to Lingling and Wuling to inform Xi Zhicai. Now that the Wuling Opera Zhicai army is prominent, it can be said that it is very dangerous. If it weren't for the Jingzhou and Yizhou coalition forces wanting to wait for the rabbit and dig a trap in Jiangling to wait for work, I am afraid that they would have broken through the city of Wuling long ago. And the order that Chen Long gave him was not to attack, to arrange defense, and if necessary, to abandon Wuling and defend Lingling.

After Jia Long finished speaking, Chen Long asked General Cai to be interrogated overnight. That General Cai is just a small character in Cai's mansion, called Cai Jie, a distant cousin of Cai He, the general of the Jingzhou Navy Army.

Cai Jie has already been frightened, it can be said that he knows everything, and he has endless words, but it is a pity that this kind of small character does not know many secrets. However, he also revealed that Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, Wen Ping and others led 80,000 soldiers to Jiangling, Zhang Yun's army went down the river, Xiangyang was actually not strong, and there were Kuai Liang and Liu Biao personally guarded it, and only Liu Qi and Liu Cong were the two sons, and Zhang Xian, Wang Wei and other second-rate generals guarded the city.

Long Chen smiled and said: "General Cai, your family is a tyrant in Jingzhou, I want to use you to do a trick now, but unfortunately you will not dare to betray your family." I had to kill you and use your head to sacrifice the flag. ”

Cai Jie originally thought that he would spare his life, but when he heard this, he was shocked and said: "The villain is just a dog of the Cai family, named Cai He and cousin, but in fact, he is inferior on weekdays and is looked down upon by those so-called authentic descendants. Please believe that the adults are willing to contribute. He prostrated his head.

Chen Long smiled and said: "If this is the case, I will give you a way to live, but I will find a few people to mix in your personal soldiers and monitor you at any time, no opinion!" ”

As long as Cai Jie lives, he hurriedly said: "No opinion!" General Chen's people can always follow me, and if they see me unhappy, they can kill the villain at any time. ”

Long Chen nodded and said, "Hmph, I'm not afraid of you making ghosts." In this case, I have a plan here, and I need Jia Zhi and General Cai to cooperate. Jia Long and Cai Jie, who was kneeling on the ground, both nodded again and again.

"I see that the combined forces of Jingzhou and Yizhou have laid a trap of 178,000 people around Jiangling, waiting for me to jump. Now that I know, of course I can't jump, but when the enemy sees me standing still in Gangneung, it is inevitable that I can't hold back the attack, and Wuling and Lingling are in danger at that time. For the sake of today's plan, I will do the first of the thirty-six plans, and hide the plan of crossing the sea. ”

"Taking advantage of the heavy troops in Jingzhou in Jiangling, I picked 300 people, pretended to be a member of Jia Zhi's team, and Jia Zheng, General Zhang, and General Cai tried to return to Xiangyang, taking advantage of Liu Biao's unpreparedness, and took the enemy chief in one fell swoop, Jingzhou soldiers will inevitably be in chaos without a fight, at that time I brought a reinforcement into Xiangyang to defend the city, if the Jingzhou army came to the rescue, I sent troops to defeat the Jiangling Yizhou soldiers; Then Liu Biao and his subordinates lost the city, and they didn't let me fish and meat? If you're lucky, maybe you can take Liu Biao down directly. Jingzhou will be mine sooner or later. ”

Jia Long was dumbfounded when he heard this, even Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun couldn't imagine that the lord's plan was so bold and went deep into the tiger's den. Huang Zhong was about to speak out against it, but Chen Long raised his hand to stop it and said, "Hansheng, you go back to Changsha tomorrow morning, make all the arrangements, and set off to capture Lingling at any time." Send me a small warship with 300 men to Baling to pick me up and wait for me to board the ship. The tone was unquestionable, and Huang Zhong had to bow his head and say, "Lord, be careful!" ”

Zhao Yun stood up excitedly, and sure enough, Chen Long said: "Zilong will pick more than a hundred more people and go north to Xiangyang with me with the special forces." Zhao Yun rubbed his hands excitedly and agreed.

Jia Long just understood: "Forgive me for being stupid, ask more." Even if they succeed in blending into Xiangyang, what can three hundred people do? Even if Liu Biao is captured as a hostage, then Kuai Liang's strategy and courage are outstanding, I am afraid he will not surrender. When the time comes, if the fish dies and the net is broken, how will the three hundred people get out? ”

Chen Long remembered in his heart that Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu's troops would be on the north bank of the Han River, and they were the strange soldiers he had already prescribed, and laughed: "Jia Zhi, underestimate me!" If you don't enter the tiger's den and get the tiger, this time, I want Liu Biao to know that I, Chen Long, am the real lord of Jingzhou! ”
