Chapter 198: Inch by Hour

People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, and the world is approaching with mantis fluttering cicadas. ---------Bright. Luo Hongxian

It is said that the Cai family is deeply rooted in Xiangyang, and the Cai family is very angry because of Liu Cong's abduction.

Chen Long's letter, especially the sentence that Liu Qi could also take over, deeply stimulated Cai's heart. In order to squeeze out Liu Qi, the Cai family doesn't know how many generals have been recruited and how many officials who oppose Liu Cong have been squeezed out, it can be said that the Cai family has pressed all the treasures on Liu Cong for the glory of the future, and there is no room for Liu Qi at all, and at the same time he has no room for maneuver, it can be said that if Liu Qi comes to power, the Cai family will also slide off the cliff unless they launch a rebellion, and the Cai family cannot take this risk at all.

Su Fei and Jia Long knelt down and worshiped on the ground under the hall, Jia Long knew it in his heart, Su Fei saw that the master mother was very angry, and knew that he could not be good today, so he said horizontally: "Lord, the sins of his subordinates are unforgivable, please cut off a certain master's head." ”

Cai Shi was furious and said: "What's the use of asking for your head! When people come, tie Su Fei up first. The soldiers didn't wait for Liu Biao to speak, and came up to tie up Su Fei first.

Liu Biao finally seized the opportunity and said, "Su Fei, you can tell me more about last night!" Cai's anger was not extinguished, and he shouted: "What else do you ask about cause and effect?" Now that Cong'er is in the hands of the kidnappers, aren't you afraid to tear up the ticket if you find it? For today's plan, we can only do what others ask! can be exchanged for a live Cong'er! ”

Liu Biao wanted to ask Su Fei about the situation, but he was interrupted again, he was already extremely depressed, he stood up and shouted angrily: "Come on, tie up Jia Long first!" The officials whispered that if Jia Long was killed at this time, he would undoubtedly officially break with Yizhou. Moreover, everyone can't figure out that Jia Long will have something to do with the kidnapping of Liu Cong, after all, Yizhou is now an ally of Jingzhou.

Cai roared again: "What are you doing to tie him up!" Directly follow what the letter says, drive the Yizhou soldiers away! Drive away! I blame you for what Lingling is trying to get! What kind of big Jingzhou is sought! Now even Cong'er has been lost! If Cong'er returns this time, it's okay! If anything happens to Cong'er, I will fight with you with my life! Say goodbye to your hometown as soon as possible! ”

Liu Biao was scolded by the dog's blood, thinking that because he really wanted to seek Lingling, he had today's passivity, I thought that with Yizhou Strange Soldiers, this time not only could I get out of the evil breath of Changsha that was robbed by Chen Long, but also took Chen Long's lair, but I didn't expect Changsha and Wuling to be lost, and the successor was robbed by others, which was really a loss.

Jia Long was not tied up because of Cai's obstruction, and after Liu Biao vented, like a deflated ball, he drafted a notice to dissolve the alliance and withdraw from Jingzhou within three days, and directly asked Jia Long to take his servants to Jiangling to pass the order, and the alliance between Jingzhou and Yizhou has been dissolved.

On a warship on the Han River, Kuai Liang stood at the bow of the ship, anxiously looking at Xiangyang City on the opposite side, which was getting closer and closer. Originally, the battle clouds in Fancheng were thick, and Zhang Yun's pressure was not small, and it all relied on Kuai Liang's advice, if it wasn't for the lord's order to let the Yizhou soldiers withdraw within a few days, Kuai Liang would not have been in a hurry to return.

The decision of the lord is tantamount to giving away the great advantage over Lingling that he has so hard to create. In the future, the army will not have an advantage, the city will be small, and there will be no ability to recover Changsha and Wuling, which means that Jiangling and Xiangyang will be exposed to the firepower of Chen Long's Qinglong army at any time, how can they resist Chen Long's attack? There will be only failure in the future.

Kuai Liang is a smart person, and he knows that it must be the main mother who feels sorry for her youngest son, but the general trend of Jingzhou, how can she give up everything in the future because she cherishes the life of Liu Cong. And if you don't take advantage of the situation to destroy Long Chen this time, I'm afraid you will have to surrender gloomily in the future. The lord and the eldest son will take over, but if you can't do it, you can have another one and cultivate it again!

The result can be imagined, Kuai Liang was scolded by Cai's life and returned to the front line of Fancheng, and Jia Long had already set off for Jingzhou with the notice of withdrawal of troops, everything was irreversible, Liu Biao only wanted to calm down Cai, and he didn't care about the future.

The news also quickly reached Chen Long's ears, which made Chen Long a little surprised, he didn't expect Liu Biao's announcement to be issued so quickly, and he couldn't help but reassess Liu Cong's important position in Jingzhou in his heart. In fact, if Liu Biao did not have the help of the Yizhou soldiers, he would already be at an absolute disadvantage in the battle for Dajingzhou, and even if he survived, it would be difficult to develop southward.

Chen Long reconsidered his future strategy, and he didn't want to let Liu Cong go immediately. But if the Yizhou soldiers withdraw, will Liu Cong be exchanged for Jiangxia or Jiangling? With such an inch, I wonder if Liu Biao will attack Lingling again at all costs? Moreover, he will leave a reputation for unscrupulous means and disobedience to promises, which is still very fatal in that era of great reputation.

However, since the Yizhou soldiers were ordered to expel the guests, it is believed that Liu Biao can only retreat to Jiangling for the time being, rearrange the defense, and beware of the Qinglong Army taking the opportunity to counterattack. Chen Long did not wait any longer, and quickly headed south along the river, met the answering ship near Jiangxia, and got a shocking news in Baling after crossing the river.

It turned out that Liu Yan of Yizhou was completely unwilling to withdraw from Jingzhou like this, and he also wanted to make an inch, and it happened that Yan Yan's army had moved to the vicinity of Wuling, and he secretly ordered Yan Yan's army to attack Wuling.

Wuling was originally given up by Xi Zhicai's strategy, and after a little resistance, the defenders all withdrew to Lingling. Yan Yanjun stationed in Wuling and never left, which just gave Chen Long an excuse not to let Liu Cong go. At this time, Cai's anger was uncontrollable, Liu Biao was furious, and ordered an all-out attack on Wuling, and Yizhou and Jingzhou completely broke up. At the same time, Liu Biao released the wind and would exchange Wuling for Liu Cong's life, and even hoped to cooperate with Chen Long to defeat Yan Yan.

At this time, Long Chen finally returned to Lingling's nest, and the family was reunited, and they were all very happy. Especially a few beautiful women who are like flowers and jade, how can they not be happy when they wait for their husbands for so long and finally come back. Chen Long comforted his beloved wives one by one, no problem. The issue of the heir was raised by his subordinate officials again, and Chen Long was also a little helpless. Could it be that those who cross through will lose their ability to reproduce?

Several major masterminds of Lingling gathered, and Chen Long personally sat here, and for a time the troops were frequently transferred, and the strategic goal was still to completely take the entire territory of Jingzhou. On the other side, Cai Mao and Wen Ping sent troops from two ways, and they really fought with Yan Yan. And Yizhou's warships, once again along the river, Jiangling had to let Cai Mao divide his troops to meet the enemy, for a while, Jiangling, Wuling war, the navy, the army was very happy, Chen Long took the opportunity to rest, and at this time Lingling ushered in Liu Biao's secret envoy.

Liu Biao's three-front battle has long been unbearable, and Chen Long has not yet made a move. There is a confrontation between Fancheng and Zhang Xiu, a battle between Yan Yan and Wenpin in Wuling, and a confrontation between Cai Mao and the Yizhou Navy and Jiangkou. Liu Biao was already anxious, and at this time of turmoil, Xiangyang Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan, two masters at that time, actually came to Xiangyang together and had a long talk with Liu Biao.

Although Liu Biao is not a hero, he is also a hegemon, although he has suffered fatal blows, after talks with Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan, he can still recognize the current situation.

Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan are famous people in Jingzhou, and Pang Shanmin, the eldest son of Pang Degong, is an official under Chen Long. It is conceivable that Pang and Huang came for peace in Jingzhou, at least to promote the cooperation between Liu Biao and Chen Long.

Liu Biao's secret envoy went to Lingling at this time to ask to see Chen Long, and Chen Long did not meet until a few days later, at this time, Liu Biao's situation was getting worse and worse, and every day was seriously consumed, and Chen Long deliberately delayed, that is, Liu Biao had no conditions for negotiation.

Liu Biao sent it was his henchman Pang Ji. Pang Ji is also a side branch of the Pang family, Liu Biao sent him, and he also had the meaning of asking Chen Long not to look at the face of the monk and see the face of the Buddha.

Pang Ji brought Liu Biao's handwritten letter, which wrote: "Brother Wenlong: Knowing that the dog Liu Cong is unharmed, I have been grateful for my brother's virtue. I hate Liu Yan's lack of greed, and I will do my best to expel the Yizhou soldiers in exchange for Cong'er's life. Helplessly, the strength is not good, but the battle front is long, if Wenlong still stands by and watches, the people of Xiangyang and Jiangling will be caught in the war for a long time, how can I bear it? Today, Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan, the two great Confucians of the world, came together, and did their best to understand the virtue of Wenlong, and said that their lips were cold and their teeth were cold. Now I know that I am wrong, but I can't let Liu Yan be proud, and I hope that Wenlong will give up his previous suspicions, help me resist foreign insults, and I am willing to exchange Wuling for Cong'er's life in the future, and I will never break my word! Be sure to. ”

After reading the letter, Chen Long smiled and said to Pang Ji: "Wuling is originally mine, how can I exchange my city for Liu Cong?" Jingsheng is extremely rude! ”

Pang Ji gasped in his heart, thinking that Long Chen was determined to stand by and watch, and hurriedly said: "I also hope that General Chen will see the face of the patriarch of Pang Degong!" Otherwise, if Jiangling falls into the hands of the enemy again, it will be difficult for the Yizhou soldiers to stop it! It's a threat to you, too! ”

Chen Long smiled and said, "If you want me to send troops to help, I only have one condition. If I drive away the Yizhou soldiers in the future, I will exchange Liu Cong for Jiangxia, how about it? ”
