South County.

The entire South County has a population of hundreds of thousands and countless fertile fields. This population is still the population of the household, and there are many other slaves and maidservants in the families of the great families.

Add to that the hidden population, and there may be millions of them.

But Xiahou Yuan didn't have so many soldiers and horses, and he only had two leading generals, Li Guang and Xu Lan, with twenty or thirty thousand elite soldiers.

Therefore, after Xiahou Yuan received the order, he did not have much choice, that is, to take away more than 100,000 people in Jiangling City in Nanjun County and go to the north.

Gangneung Fortress.

This city is the top prosperous city in the whole Jingzhou, and it is the first-class city in the whole world. But at this moment, it turned into a sin city.

Also on the eve of destruction.

Squad after team of Cao soldiers arrested people in the city, whether they were old people, children, women, or strong people, they were all taken away, and if they insisted on not leaving, they would be killed.

Whether it is the scholars or the common people, they don't have much time to prepare, only half a day's work. At noon, the army was to set out for the north.

A family surnamed Li, the head of the family is named Li Ming, Li Ming has a wife, three and a half children. The family is in the grain and oil business and has assets.

When a family of Cao Jun kicked through the door of their house, Li Ming was stunned.

"On the orders of the prime minister, the people of Gangneung City were relocated to the north. If you don't leave, you will kill it. "Led by a Cao Jun chief, he is fierce and vicious.

Li Ming was stunned, but knew that it was not a joke. In Li Ming's view, life is more important than death.

Li Ming's wife and children broke down and cried. "Don't cry, go pack your bags." Li Ming first said to his wife and children, and then flattered Cao Junshi: "Please wait a while for this strong man, and let me clean up." ”

"Hurry up." This Cao Jun is not bad, but he said impatiently.

So Li Ming hurriedly packed his bags with his wife and children, mainly taking away a few soft coins and some dry food to eat. As long as you have money, you can buy things, otherwise, you can't move an inch.

In the blink of an eye, Li Ming packed up, took his wife and children, and gathered with Cao's army to the north.

The Li family is a grain and oil businessman, a small businessman, and there are only a few people in the family.

The Xu family in Jiangling is the Jiangling Wang family. There are many men in the whole clan, and they are either honorary scholars, or they are petty officials in the southern county.

One of them is called Xu Shan, who is more than 50 years old and used to be a Nanjun Gongcao. At this moment, Cao Jun surrounded Xu Shan's mansion.

Then, directly explain the intention. The Xu family suddenly thundered like five thunders, seven meat and eight vegetarians. But the homeland is hard to leave, and it is not as good as living.

Xu Shan also ordered his children and grandchildren to start organizing personnel, bringing heavy trucks, abandoning the ancestral house, packing up the soft and soft, and dozens of people from the whole family, plus more than 100 slaves and maids, went to the north.

"I knew this was the case, so it was better to go to Fangling before the battle of Jingzhou. At that time, you can sell your land and house calmly, and you can also pack up more belongings. Now there are still many Zhuangzi and slaves outside the city, but there is no way to take them away. Xu Shan's old wife, Mrs. Xu wiped her tears and said.

"Hey." Xu Shan also regretted it a little and sighed. How did he know that this would be the case? I thought that no matter who ruled Jingzhou, it would be An Min, who knew that Cao Cao would actually move to the city.

Some people choose to live, but there are also a very small number of people who choose to be stubborn. Therefore, there are many people killed by Cao Jun.

Soon after, twenty or thirty thousand Cao troops. The generals Xiahou Yuan, Li Guang, and Xu Lan all gathered in the north of the city, with flags flying and stout.

More than 100,000 people also stood in chaos. The people were very embarrassed, many of them were beaten and scolded, injured, and women and children cried from time to time.

Xiahou Yuan, Li Guang, and Xu Lan were extremely ruthless, and they were not moved. The three of them straddled their horses and swayed their glances at Gangneung Castle.

Xiahou Yuan clamped the horse's belly with his feet, turned the horse's head and said, "I will lead 10,000 soldiers to go first with the people." The two generals led their troops to burn Gangneung Fortress. ”

"No."

Li Guang, Xu Lan promised. Then the Cao army was divided into two parts, Xiahou Yuan led the troops to drive the people first, under the sword and gun of the Cao army, the people could only take the old and the young, and left their homeland with hatred and went to the north.

Li Guang and Xu Lan re-entered Jiangling City with Cao's army, and a large number of Cao's soldiers and soldiers, holding torches, set fire to the buildings in batches.

The buildings of the Han Dynasty were all civil structures, of course, they burned at one point.

Soon after, Cao's army withdrew from Jiangling City and went to chase Xiahou Yuan.

Gangneung Castle turned into a sea of fire, with flames and thick smoke.

Not to mention that Cao Jun set fire to a prosperous city like Jiangling.

Since Ma Liang received the news, Zhou Yu, who was stationed on the south bank of the Yangtze River, was naturally not blind.

Youjiangkou is a small city, but it is located on the Yangtze River. There are large tracts of land.

But the historical oil estuary is famous.

After the Battle of Chibi, Liu Bei stationed troops at the mouth of the Youjiang River and sent troops south to attack the four counties of Jingnan and occupy them. Because Liu Bei's official position is called General Zuo, he is called "Duke Zuo." ”

So Liu Bei renamed the mouth of the oil river as "public security".

Although the city is small, the geographical location is very important. Together with Gangneung City, it stands on the north and south banks of the Yangtze River. In Jingzhou, Guanyu in history, the two most important cities are Gong'an City and Jiangling City.

As long as these two cities are there, it will be extremely difficult for Jiangdong forces to pose a threat to Guan Yu.

As a result, history has proved that the solidity of mountains and rivers is not as good as people's hearts. Mi Fang guarded Jiangling, and Fu Shiren guarded the public security, but the two surrendered in Kaicheng.

And Zhou Yu's troops were in Jiangxia and Exian County, and later occupied the land south of the Yangtze River in Jingzhou, so he had Yao soldiers who were rampant in the north and occupied Jingxiang.

Therefore, the naval army was gathered, with 50,000 infantry troops, and the troops were stationed at the mouth of the oil river (public security). Not only that, Zhou Yu saw that this was the case in front of him, so he felt more and more that there was an opportunity, so he made the rest of the arrangements.

The city of Youjiangkou is too small to accommodate soldiers and horses. Zhou Yu's 50,000 sailors, infantry troops, 30,000 went down to the water village on the Yangtze River, and 20,000 went down to the camp independently.

At this moment, Zhou Yu was in the big tent of the Chinese army, eating fish soup with Lu Su.

"Although I never eat fish, I don't get tired of eating fish. The freshest thing in the world is fish. Zhou Yu ate fish and drank fish soup, with a smile on his face.

Zhou Yu is a native of Jiangdong and eats fish. Lusu is not bad, there are many fish on the Huai River. However, Lu Su has a general feeling for fish.

Therefore, there is no such emotion as Zhou Yu.

However, after the two of them ate this fish soup, Lu Su's eyes rolled, his round face showed interest, and said, "Gongjin, but I haven't heard you play the piano for many days." Play me a song and see how. ”

There is a saying that "the song is wrong, Zhou Langgu." "Zhou Yu not only has a good ear, but he also plays the piano and everyone. Lu Su and Zhou Yu are also friends of music.

Zhou Yu thought that he hadn't touched the piano for a long time, and his hands were a little itchy. Just as he was about to agree, he saw a personal soldier hurriedly walk in from outside and reported: "The Governor." Xiahou Yuan set fire to Jiangling City and took away the people in the city. ”

Zhou Yu, Lu Su was stunned for a moment, and then calmed down. Zhou Yu stroked his palms and smiled: "Cao Mengde has withdrawn." Although Xiahou Yuan took away the people of Jiangling, it is a pity. However, the southern county is vast and prosperous, and there are still many people left in the rest of the city villages. And to occupy the North Shore, there is no need to say more. He ordered the navy to disembark, and the infantry army went to the north with 40,000 troops to occupy Gangneung City. ”

"No." The pro-soldier agreed, and he was also quite excited, and hurriedly went down.

Of course, this is an opportunity, but Lu Su is a little nervous, so the toes under his ass can't help but play in circles.

"This is indeed an opportunity. However, we newly occupy four and a half counties (half of Jiangxia), and the hearts of the people are not completely attached. If the army is to the north, if there is chaos in the four and a half counties. In addition, Ma Liang's 20,000 soldiers and horses are in Zigui, Guan Yu's 20,000 elite soldiers are in Xinye, and Zhuge Liang's tens of thousands of horses are in Anlu. The Guan family, how can you sit back and watch us win Gangneung City? ”

Lu Suyuan said with a worried look on his face.

"Zijing, rest assured, I have already submitted the table to Wu Hou. Ask Wu Hou to send 50,000 troops to personally sit in Exian County. If Guan Yu leads his troops to fight with us, he will fight a battle. ”

Zhou Yu smiled calmly, but he had already seen the opportunity and asked Sun Quan to send troops.

Jiangdong has an advantage over the Guan family in that there are many reinforcements, and they are fast.

Xiangyang has no choice at present, but for Jiangling City in Nanjun, Zhou Yu is bound to fight.

When Lu Su heard this, he was still worried, Jiangdong had Jiangdong problems, and this time he dispatched 100,000 elite soldiers to Jingzhou, and Jiangdong was empty.

But Lu Su was very wise not to express his worries, since the coach had made up his mind, he would naturally work together to do a game.

Roll up your sleeves and do it.

Lu Suzhen rolled up his sleeves, then pressed the hilt of his sword with his hand, and followed Zhou Yu to order his troops. Although the Lu family is sometimes out of tune, his riding and archery and swordsmanship are all good, and Lu Su's official position is the captain of the Praise Army, so he naturally follows the expedition.

And the Jiangdong people, whether they are generals or soldiers, are indeed quite elite, and 40,000 elite soldiers were assembled at once.

All the generals, except for the generals who stayed in the rear, followed Zhou Yu and Lu Su to Jiangling City in Jiangbei by boat.

And at this time, it depends on who is fast.

Ma Liang, Zhou Yu. After all, although Gangneung City has turned into a sea of fire and is already full of ruins, the city walls are still there. When the army is based, it can be invincible.

As long as Zhou Yu occupies Jiangling City, plus Jiangdong's follow-up men and horses, and 100,000 elite soldiers, he can compete with the Guan family for Nanjun.

If Ma Liang is allowed to occupy Jiangling City first, although the Guan family has few horses, they can still hold it.

It could also be said that it was a running race.

And the result was that Maleonn lost.

Because the mouth of the oil river is closer to Jiangling City, Zigui is too far away.

However, the competition between the Sun family and the Guan family for Nanjun has already begun. But Zhuge Liang heard the news, and all the sailors were dispatched, and not a single seedling was left.

Huang Zhong, Wang Wei, Ding Feng, a total of about 20,000 sailors arrived in the area of Nanjun and set up a water village in Jiangbei.
