Chapter 208: Eating the Marrow and Knowing the Taste

Three or two peach blossoms outside the bamboo, the prophet of the plumbing duck in the spring river. ------------Surname. Su Shi "Hui Chong Chunjiang Xiaojing Two Songs"

It is said that on the front line on the north bank of the Yangtze River in Jiangling, Chen Long has been in Zhao Yun's army for many days with a flying dragon horse and a gentian bright silver spear, and he will only wait for Jiangxia to surrender and Huang Zhong's warship arrives, so he will cross the river to fight, and take Jingzhou in one fell swoop to expel Liu Biao.

On the same day, he received a letter from Xi Zhicai, and he knew that Jiangxia had changed, and the appearance of strong enemies Sun Ce and Zhou Yu made Chen Long's heart groan. It just so happened that Liu Biao came to envoy, and Chen Long discussed the benefits and disadvantages with several military advisors, and he already had a certain number in his heart.

Chen Long first gave Xi Zhicai a letter of resignation, and directly used the tone of an order. Although Xi Zhicai retreated resolutely this time and avoided major losses, he strategically abandoned the Yangtze River channel, which was too hasty and lacked persistence, causing him to be unable to cross the river in Jiangling as scheduled.

The wording of the letter was slightly harsh, and he ordered Xi Zhicai to immediately activate the naval army after receiving his letter, and within 20 days, transport supplies to the southwest coast of the confluence of the Xiangjiang River and the Yangtze River to set up a water village, and forcefully blockade the Yangtze River to stand by. If the Jiangxia naval army blocks it and wins the battle at any cost, it must set up a base there, at least divide the Yangtze River with Jiangxia, and open up the passage from the warship to Jiangling, otherwise only the drama will be the question. At the end of the letter, he encouraged Xi Zhicai and said: "I know that the talent of Zhicai is not under Fengxiao and Yuanzhi, so I entrust the Third Army to Your Excellency." We should be sympathetic to the strategic intention of going down to Jiangdong after we seize Jingzhou, actively use troops, occupy key points, control the Yangtze River, and open up waterways. The Yangtze River moat, I have ordered Yang Huai to cultivate a naval army and build a big ship, which is changing the way for the Yangtze River moat. Be sure to. ”

Chen Long's order was based on the experience of Cao, Sun and Liu in the official history of the tripartite division of Jiangxia. Jiangxia is due to the confluence of many rivers and the complex terrain, and it is very difficult to control the whole territory, which provides convenience for various forces to reject one side. Chen Long decided to occupy a corner of the confluence of the Xiangjiang River and the Yangtze River, and set up Luzhai and Shuizhai to control the Yangtze River. If Liu Biao does not surrender, then the Xizhicai warship can go up the river to fight against the Jingzhou naval army, or transport the First Army to cross the river to fight, or even directly attack Xiangyang along the Han River; If Liu Biao surrenders, he can go down the Yangtze River and cooperate with his army to attack Jiangxia and go straight to Jiangdong.

After receiving the letter from the lord, Xi Zhicai knew that the lord was guilty, and he was remorseful, so he was busy reorganizing the warship, loaded with all kinds of weapons and materials, and led the army with Huang Zhong and Wei Yan to go out again. With great courage, Xi Zhicai vowed to wipe out the Jiangxia Naval Army, establish a water village on the south bank of the Yangtze River and the west bank of Xiangshui, and face each other across the river from Qiyue City, and expand the Yangtze River base.

According to the plan, Chen Long received a letter from Liu Biao, agreed to meet with Liu Biao, and decided to go to the banquet with a single gun. In the early morning five days later, Liu Biao came with a medium-sized warship as promised, and Zhou Cang carefully inspected the ships, which were indeed ordinary sailors.

Then he carried the lord's flying dragon spear on his back, and Lu Chang and the two of them accompanied the lord to board the ship. The boat slowly sailed out of the river, looking at the colorful clouds on the north bank of the Yangtze River.

The river surface is unusually open, the green mountains are towering, the still water is deep, and the peach red pieces of spring are hidden on both sides of the river, which is the south bank of the green river and the spring breeze. Chen Long was wearing a blue-gray suit hand-sewn by his beloved wife Zhen Mi, a light-colored scarf hand-woven by his beloved wife Liu Qian, a white robe hand-cut by his beloved wife Diao Chan, and a black leather armor tanned by his beloved wife Tong Feifei, and warm combat boots hand-made by his beloved wife Peach Blossom, standing at the bow of the boat, enjoying the gentle river breeze and watching the beautiful scenery on both sides of the strait. Liu Biaojun and the sailors had already heard that Lingling was too guarded, and they rushed to see it, and when they saw Chen Long's such a figure and appearance, they also secretly praised it in their hearts.

Caiyunji is a huge rock that naturally protrudes to the surface of the river, the stone is even flat, looking from the ship, it seems like a dark cloud across the river, reflecting the water color in the sun, and it seems to be surrounded by colorful halos, which is breathtaking, so it is named Caiyunji. The predecessors had already discovered this excellent location to enjoy the river color, and several high-rise buildings were erected behind the stone, from which you can enjoy the river view, and can go directly to the stone, close to the Yangtze River.

Caiyunji has always been a tourist attraction, and the literati and like to chant poems here, but at this time, because of the haze of war, it has become a crowd. On this day, the street was blocked by a team of guards, forbidden to pass, only a luxury carriage, escorted by a dozen guards, drove straight in, until downstairs did not stop the horse.

The big man who drove the car was dressed in civilian clothes, tall, with thick eyebrows and square face, and a serious expression. Dahan personally got out of the carriage and lifted the curtain, Liu Biao, who looked tired, stepped out of the carriage and turned around to pick up a middle-aged woman. ”

The middle-aged beauty is white and rich, her eyebrows and eyes are vaguely charming, but her eyes are full of ruthlessness. Liu Biao instructed the big man: "Deju, you and Su Fei will follow me upstairs, and the others will wait downstairs." ”

It turned out that this casual man was Cai Mao, the chief general of Jingzhou, Cai Deqi. This time, Liu Biao brought Cai to come in person, hoping to be extremely sincere and tell Chen Long to release Liu Cong, and Cai Mao saw the second sister coming, so he naturally went out in person to protect everything.

The four of them hurriedly went upstairs and saw that the second floor was facing Caiyunji, there was a stove in the entrance hall, and the room was spring, and the two columns in the hall were facing each other, and the floor mat was paved on the ground, so that the two sides could sit on one side to negotiate.

Liu Biao nodded with satisfaction, lowered his head and coughed a few times, his body and mood have been bad recently. Cai Mao stretched out his hand to push open the door leading to Caiyunji, Cai and Liu Biaoxiang walked on the stone face of Caiyunji, and walked forward to the end of the boulder. Liu Biaolian coughed, his face was red and his neck was thick, Cai was busy hammering his back, Liu Biao eased up, raised his head and sighed.

With such a great country, who is willing to give it away? Forced by the situation, this time ....... I'm afraid I can't help but bow my head.

Su Fei pointed to a black spot on the river in the distance and said, "Lord Father, Master Mother, isn't that a warship?" Liu Biao and Cai's eyes looked far away, and sure enough, a black spot upstream gradually expanded, revealing a white sail embroidered with "envoy", which was the envoy warship that took Chen Long to Caiyunji.

Liu Biao simply didn't warm up the pavilion, and just looked at the warship approaching on the colorful clouds. Remembering that when he was in Luoyang in the past, he got the help of the general He Jin, and finally snatched the Jingzhou Thorn History from Chen Long, but now he is forced to be helpless, I am afraid it will be difficult to keep Jingzhou, and the family behind him and even the Cai family, where should I go?

Cai Mao and Cai's eldest sister married the famous Huang Chengyan, and the last time the eldest brother-in-law and Pang Degong came together, they actually said that Chen Long might be the master of the real dragon, and persuaded himself to stop in moderation, and Hugh to do it knowing that he could not do it. Because of Liu Cong, Cai's naturally blows the pillow wind every day, and Liu Biao's body is getting worse, so he can't stand it anymore.

The warship came, Chen Long stood at the bow of the ship, and saw four people standing on the Caiyunji at a glance, and the one in front was thin and tall, with a white head, it was Liu Biao Liu Jingsheng.

Chen Long deliberately wanted to show his means, did not wait for the warship to dock, turned around and took the gentian bright silver spear, gently pulled out his body, and had already jumped into the void. The warship was at least eighty zhang away from Caiyunji, and it was difficult for the gods to jump over with one rise and fall, and everyone couldn't help but watch with bated breath. Seeing Chen Long falling from a high altitude, getting closer and closer to the river, he suddenly saw the red dragon in his hand spit out, and hit the river surface heavily, and immediately soared suddenly, the water mist steamed, and a thick water column rose like a giant dragon, supporting Chen Long from the river to the top of the colorful clouds. Chen Long took a light step forward, the clouds and the wind stepped lightly on the rock, and the water column just became the end of the strong crossbow, scattering down the river, like falling rain, splashing a river rainbow.

Long Chen's dazzling appearance stunned everyone. Chen Long stood still, the steel gun turned, the red dragon's miraculous skills disappeared without a trace, Cai Mao nervously stood in front of Liu Biao and Cai's body, unable to let go of the young, handsome, tall and mighty opponent opposite.

Liu Biao coughed again, stretched out his hand and gently pushed Cai Mao away, and greeted: "Brother Wenlong, since Luoyang, it will be more than three years." I'm seeing a good brother....... cough cough cough cough ........ The style is especially better than in the past, and I am very relieved........ Ahem, ahem. ”

In Cai's eyes, it is difficult to hide the expression of appreciation, probably when a woman sees an outstanding man, it is difficult for her to be silent, not to mention that Cai's still asks Chen Long. Chen Long lifted the weight lightly, and easily inserted the steel gun into the stone, showing his superb skills, and since then, there has been an additional Lingling Taishou gun hole on Caiyunji, which has become a scenic spot after thousands of years.

Chen Long plugged in the steel gun, spread his hands, and greeted Liu Biao and Cai: "Brother Jingsheng, sister-in-law Cai, Jiangling is so beautiful, I can't help but be poetic, but it's a pity that Brother Jingsheng wants to talk to me about work today, isn't this a big scenery?" Talking about moving forward slowly, he noticed that Cai Mao's muscles in her whole body tensed.

Liu Biao looked at the handsome opponent opposite, and hurriedly said: "I invite Brother Wenlong to come today, mainly to talk about wine and talk about dogs by the way." cough cough cough ....... Jiangxia's matter was just an accident......."

Chen Long stretched out his hand to stop and said, "Stop, stop, since it's a drink, let's get drunk and rest first, and please reminisce about the past." Liu Biao raised his hand to give way, just as the warship was approaching, Lu Chang and Zhou Cang also jumped on the Caiyun Shiji, and the group walked into the warm pavilion, Liu Biao and Cai's sat down, Cai Mao and Su Fei guarded left and right, Chen Long sat opposite, and behind him were Lu Chang and Zhou Cang. There are servants in the warm pavilion, and they serve fine wine and dishes and then retreat.

Liu Biao raised his glass, thanked Chen Long for his trust, and said that he was sick and drank a little. Cai couldn't hold it back, and asked in a crying voice: "General Chen forgives the sin, is my unsuccessful Cong'er okay?" ”

Chen Long didn't pay attention to it, and Zhou Cang behind him shouted: "Jiangxia Huangzu will not descend, and Liu Cong will be beheaded in a few days." This sentence frightened Cai's face drastically, and Cai Mao glanced at Zhou Cang in annoyance, thinking that this black man was so rude.

Chen Long drank Zhou Cang, raised his glass and said, "This is my Zhou Cang." Although what he said was rough, it should be so, you and I have an agreement in advance, and Brother Jingsheng has a letter to prove it. It's just that I'm here this time, of course I want to hear that your Liu Cong can't change Jiangxia, what else can I change? ”

Cai's was immediately dumbfounded, she couldn't do anything about this matter, so she had to look at Liu Biao, after all, the interests of Cai's family and Liu Biao's family must be guaranteed. If the whole family is dragged down because of one Liu Cong, the clansmen will never agree.

Liu Biao had no choice but to raise his glass and toast again, and when Long Chen finished drinking, he asked stubbornly: "Ahem, cough, what does General Chen want to change?" ”

Chen Long laughed and said: "There is an idiom called eating marrow and knowing taste, I don't know if Brother Jingsheng has heard it." Since your second son-in-law can change Jiangxia, I think he can also change the entire Jingzhou, right?"
