Chapter 174: Xinye Talks About Revenge

Jealousy is like hatred, and good is hunger and thirst. —Don. Han Yu "Lifting Zhang Zhengfu's Self-Generation"

It is said that when the news of Han Xuan's head and the fall of Changsha reached Xiangyang, Liu Biao and his subordinates were in turmoil, and Mrs. Cai was even more worried that Cai Mao would be attacked by the enemy and resolutely demanded to withdraw the army. The rebellion of Huang Zhong and Wei Yan caught Liu Biao off guard, and there was also a lot of division between his advisers and generals.

Liu Biao originally detected that Chen Long, Zhao Yun and other generals were not in Lingling, and it seemed that even Huang Gai's first army did not know where to go, so under Kuai Yue's plan, he made up his mind to send troops from the left, center and right, and the middle soldiers went straight to the Lingling County Office. Unexpectedly, the division was not successful, the two generals on the right actually surrendered, not only surrendered, but also fought back, cutting off the head of Changsha Taishou Han Xuan, Changsha soldiers followed Wei Yan and Huang Zhong for a long time to train, and they had already forged loyalty, and the two generals did not make much effort, they pacified the states and counties of Changsha, and sent troop ships, and the soldiers pointed directly at Jiangxia, opening a gap for the return of Chen Long's first army in the Yangtze River waterway.

Huang Zu, the Jiangxia guard, was not very convinced by Liu Biao, so he only sent troops to monitor the Changsha warships, and did not immediately start a war. Although Huang Zu didn't have a good impression of Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, he was happy to watch Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and Liu Biao go to war first, so as to reap the benefits of the fisherman. Jiangxia's defensive focus was still in the direction of Jianye in the east, and at the same time, scouts were sent to cross the river to peep near Changsha to obtain information about the civil war in Jingzhou as soon as possible.

At this time, Chen Long's troops had been stationed in Xinye, and they also reconnoitred and rode out to grasp the movement of Xiangyang. And Xiangyang Liu Xian, who has always spent a lot of money in Cai Mao's mansion and Mrs. Cai's side, has already received a tip report when he intercepted Liu Biao's military intelligence, and he escaped without a trace, but he also temporarily lost the possibility of obtaining internal information again.

Guo Jia and Zhou Budo naturally would not be satisfied with the garrison Xinye, and after consulting with the lord, they sent Gan Ning to lead a troop to find a small road around the continuous hills between Xinyang and Suiguo, all the way to the Yangtze River in the west of Jiangxia. Later, he made contact with the warships sent by Huang Zhong.

This time, after exchanging information with each other, Gan Ning quickly reported back to Long Chen. This retreat that suddenly appeared in front of him, the two masterminds that Chen Long had been with him since he was a child, actually had the first directional disagreement.

Guo Jia believed that it was advisable for the First Army to quickly cross the Yangtze River along the gap opened by Huang Zhong, and after joining Huang Zhong, the whole army should blitzkrieg Jiangxia and seize the most important bridgehead on the Yangtze River. Guo Jiadao: "Jiangxia is the thoroughfare of various states, whether it is transporting troops, transporting grain, doing business, or transporting water, it is a golden artery. If you can take Jiangxia, you can threaten Jingxiang upstream, and look at Chaisang, Luyang, and Jianye downstream. Gu Yingchuan in the north, Nanyang in the west, Changsha in the south, and Chaisang in the north, the place of the four wars, if an invincible naval army can be built here, then Xiangyang Liu Biao will no longer dare to harass Lingling. ”

Zhou Budo shook his head and said, "There is a suspicion of deviating from the point, Feng Xiao." Why did you suddenly hit Jiangxia? I think Huang Zu did not stop Huang Zhong's troops this time, maybe he was waiting to see the victory or defeat of us and Liu Biao, so as to be the grass on the wall. I don't want to provoke Huang Zu, I want to kill Liu Biao first. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the simple military map hanging on the wall and said: "Lord, I mean, we are too far away from Chang'an, if we don't cross the river, we are indeed a lone army, and we can't cross the river to attack Xiangyang, and the small city of Xinye is difficult to defend, if we wait for Liu Pan and Cai Mao's army to return, we will definitely cross the river to deal with the lord, it is too dangerous here." I suggest that after we cross the river quickly, we will take a short rest in Yueyang on the shore of Dongting Lake, and then transport troops along the water system of the Yuan River, assemble around Wuling, and take advantage of Liu Pan and Cai Mao's army to return to Xiangyang, contact the Lingling Xizhicai army, raid Jin Xuan's troops, seize Wuling, and establish a bridgehead against Xiangyang. ”

Chen Long nodded slightly and said: "If you can really take Wuling, it will undoubtedly set up a buffer and obstacle for Liu Biao's army to attack Lingling from Xiangyang and Jiangling, and from then on, it will be Liu Biao's turn to sleep and eat." Zhou Budo saw the lord nodding, thinking that he could determine the strategy on this, and proudly glanced at Guo Jia who was touching his smooth chin beside him.

Unexpectedly, Chen Long changed his words and said slowly: "I have ambitions to be in Lingling, and I won Changsha without blood, it is Liu Biao's turn to be frightened, why am I in a hurry to go back?" ”

Guo Jia and Zhou Budo dropped their jaws in shock at the same time, the two glanced at each other, stared at Chen Long at the same time and asked, "Then what does the lord want?" ”

Chen Long looked at the two of them with a smile and said, "I can't go south to cross the river to fight, and I don't want to cross the river from Jiangxia immediately, guess what I want to do?" ”

Zhou Budo and Guo Jia were puzzled, and Guo Jia asked, "Could it be that the lord wants to find a local celebrity here?" ”

Guo Jia's words made Chen Long suddenly think of Zhuge Liang, who was ploughing in Longmu, and said with a smile: "Nanyang celebrities, no less than Yingchuan, hidden scholars, great technicians, and famous scholars are probably more." Have you ever heard of Mr. Water Mirror? ”

The two masterminds said at the same time: "Of course! Mr. Sima Hui is famous, and he is the master of Brother Xu Shu. Guo Jia said: "Mr. Sima Hui and Zai Xia are still fellow villagers." But I don't know that Mr. Shuijing lives in seclusion in Nanyang? If he is near the left, his subordinates are willing to visit him with the lord and persuade him to come and vote for the lord. ”

Chen Long laughed and said, "Although Mr. Sima is good, let's keep him to teach Xiaolong, Xiaofeng and Xiaohu!" Hahaha! ”

Zhou Budo and Guo Jia were stunned at the same time and asked, "Who are Xiaolong, Xiaofeng and Xiaohu?" ”

Chen Long thought to himself, this dragon and phoenix are naturally your fierce rivals in the future, as for Xiaohu, it is even more amazing, Sima Yi is nicknamed Tsukasa Hu, and he has established a new dynasty.

He didn't explain at the moment, and said: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed, and you will naturally know it in the future." ”

Zhou Budo couldn't hold his breath and asked, "Then why did the lord stay here?" ”

Chen Long's eyes froze, his eyebrows furrowed, and he asked, "Have you forgotten your mother-in-law and the great enmity of the princess?" ”

The two of them realized that the lord said that when Huang Gai led his troops north to King Qinwang of Luoyang that day, he was attacked between Nanyang and Luoyang, and everyone speculated that Dong Zhuo did it, but there was no evidence. As for the big feud of the main mother Zhang Ning, she has always said that it is Cao Cao, but the two of them can't figure it out.

Guo Jia said: "My lord, do you have a clue to avenge the dead brother of the Second Legion?" As for Cao Cao, he is far away in Qingzhou, and it seems difficult to pass. ”

Long Chen squinted, nodded and said, "That day, I pretended to be Yan Baihu, and I personally heard Dong Zhuo and Li Ru discuss, guessing who attacked Huang Gai's army, so I confirm that it was not Dong Zhuo's faction that did it." ”

Zhou Budo was shocked: "In the south of Luoyang, it wasn't Dong Zhuo's doing, could it be ....... Yuan Shu!" Guo Jia also came to his senses, nodded frequently, and said, "Very likely!" ”

Long Chen smiled and said, "Yuan Shu is self-inflicted, and he can't live. Dare to secretly pinch the dragon beard of my Qinglong Army, do such a degrading thing, and don't teach him a lesson, and can't solve the hatred in my heart. ”

Guo Jia was silent, and Zhou Budo said: "However, Wancheng is guarded by Zhang Xiu, and his martial arts are outstanding, although General Zhao can resist the enemy, but the siege is not good." What's more, on the periphery of Wancheng, there are also troops of Gong Wei, and there are quite a few of them. Yuan Shu himself is also in Luoyang, I'm afraid I can't hurt him in the slightest. These words undoubtedly said that if Long Chen decided to fight Wancheng now, it would not be a wise choice.

Chen Long glanced at Guo Jia and found that this kid was becoming more and more tactful, and he didn't even express his opposing opinions, but just let the objections come out of Zhou Budo's mouth. I thought that these children had finally grown up, and I had to keep an eye on him, not let him indulge in alcohol too much, so that he could live a long life and spend more time with him.

Thinking of this, I found that I was a little distracted, at this time, Zhao Yun, who was inspecting the troops outside, happened to walk in, and just heard Zhou Budo's objection, and asked about the cause and effect, and Zhou Budo made it clear one by one.

Zhao Yun said angrily: "I didn't expect Yuan Shu to be a despicable villain, and we also gave him the jade seal to help him be proud in Luoyang." Lord, as soon as you give an order, even if I hit Luoyang, I will cut off Yuan Shu's head as a night pot to avenge the public. Several people had never seen the handsome guy Zhao Yun get dirty, and they all laughed.

Chen Long stretched out his hand to let everyone sit down, the atmosphere became calm, Chen Long finally stopped playing dumb riddles, and said his purpose: "In the life of Master Ning's mother, there are two most important enemies, one is Cao Mengde, who abused Brother Ma and broke Brother Ma's tendons, and the other is Tang Zhou, who betrayed Brother Ma and betrayed her father, caused Brother Ma to be arrested, and caused the destruction of the Luoyang Yellow Turban Spy. ”

Only then did everyone suddenly realize that Long Chen was thinking about catching Tang Zhou.

Chen Long didn't wait for everyone to ask questions, and said: "On that day, Tang Zhou followed the three generals to fight against the Yellow Turban, and we have already met two, namely Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song, Tang Zhou is not by their side. In other words, as long as Tang Zhou is not dead, he is most likely to be by Zhu Jun's side. ”

Zhao Yun nodded and asked: "Zhu Jun should have suppressed bandits near Runan at that time, and then he never returned to Luoyang, I heard that he was entangled with Liu Pi and Gong Du's troops for a long time, and then Liu Pi and Gong Du's troops entered the mountains to guerrilla, and Zhu Jun was stationed in Luoshan County near Yiyang. ”

Guo Jia said: "If this is the case, turn around on the way to Jiangxia and go to the vicinity of Yiyang to find Zhu Jun's dignitaries." ”

Chen Long said: "Someone? You are a fool when you think Zhu Jun, if you want to give it? Everyone laughed again, showing their true colors as brothers. Although Long Chen enjoyed these people calling him the lord, he actually regarded them as true brothers in his heart, how could he not have a true brother like Yuan Shu in life?

Chen Long finally clapped his head and said: "Lu Chang, Hao Pu, and Zu Lang are by my side, and there are a hundred special forces members. Let's first take the fifteenth day as the limit, and send someone to find out where Zhu Jun is and find clues to Tang Zhou. If there is a discovery, the troops will be pulled out as a whole, and on the way, I will lead Lu Chang and others to arrest people. On the 15th of the week, the troops will be training and recuperating, and all preparations will be made for the pull-out. ”

said, before ending the meeting, he stretched out his hand and stroked his forehead and said: "I heard that there is a Wollongong in Nanyang, the scenery is quite good, Yuanzhi, you can explore the road, maybe you can stop by on the way to see Mr. Shuijing?" ”
