After the military meeting of the southern expedition to Jingxiang, the Liangzhou army did not dare to slack off, or hurried to prepare for the dispatch of troops, or rushed to their own station. Li Mu returned to the Cheqi General's Mansion.

When Li Mu came to the Cheqi General's Mansion, Diao Chan, Zhen Mi, and Qiao Wan's seven daughters were waiting for Li Mu to eat, and Gan Qian was naturally waiting in the dining room.

It has been several months since Gan Qian came to the Cheqi General's Mansion. During this period of time, in the process of slowly getting along, the relationship between Li Mu and Gan Qian has broken through the original master-servant relationship and is developing in the direction of a family. Gan Qian knows...... After Li Mu wanted to take her as a concubine, he was very happy in his heart, and he could be regarded as keeping the clouds open and seeing the sunrise.

At the end of the meal, Li Mu told the story of the southern expedition to Jingxiang to Diao Chan, Zhen Mi, and Qiao Wan. When the eight girls heard this, the smile on their pretty faces immediately disappeared, and their expressions darkened in an instant.

Although, in a parting situation like this, Diao Chan, Zhen Mi, and Qiao Wan's seven daughters, I don't know how many times they have experienced; However, in the hearts of the seven daughters of Diao Chan, there is still an indescribable and inexhaustible reluctance and concern. Diao Chan's seven daughters had to tell their husbands over and over again that they must return safely!

At the moment, Gan Qianshang is not Li Mu's concubine. However, deep in Gan Qian's heart, she has long regarded herself as Li Mu's person. Hearing that Li Mu was going to personally command the army to move south, Gan Qian was also reluctant to give up and earnestly advised.

Facing the instructions of the seven little wives and Gan Qian's instructions, Li Mu didn't want everyone to ...... The worries of crankiness are naturally relieved with a leisurely expression. Diao Chan, Zhen Mi, and Gan Qian's eight daughters, although they are still worried in their hearts, they also seem at ease on their faces.

Li Mu also told Gan Qian, and Gan will go south with the army. Hearing that her brother was going to war, the worry in Gan Qian's heart became more and more heavy, and Gan Qian stopped talking a few times, and finally swallowed the words on her lips.

The look on Gan Qian's pretty face, the look of wanting to speak and stopping, how could Li Mu not understand? Immediately, Li Mu was relieved...... He will hand over the less dangerous task to Gan, and Gan will be safe and triumphant. Hearing what Li Mu said, Gan Qian felt guilty in her heart and was also indescribably moved. Gan Qian knew very well in her heart that the reason why Li Mu did this was because she pitied her Gan Qian.

A few days after the meeting of the Cheqi General's Mansion, Tang Ying gave birth to a baby boy named Li Ye. During the period from the military conference to the south of Jingxiang, Li Mu spent the rest of his time with his wife and children except for the normal time of sitting in the court.

……

Rush by in January!

At night on February 17, 192, the Liangzhou Army's four-way army of land and water sent troops at the same time, opening the prelude to the southern expedition to Jingxiang!

However, it is said that when the night of February 17, the second route army of the Liangzhou army marched south to Jingxiang and sent troops from the front line of Zhangling and Suixian in Nanyang County.

Dian Wei led the Tiger Wing Legion under his tent, sent troops from Zhangling City, and after passing through the Hometown Gathering Pass at the Green Forest Mountain, he went south to capture the two cities of Yundu and Jingling in Jiangxia County. Li Mu was afraid that Dian Wei would not be able to capture the city smoothly, so he sent Zhang to accompany the Tiger Wing Legion to help Dian Wei.

Li Mu personally commanded the Liangzhou Army Water Division, sent troops from Suixian Water Village in Nanyang County, and went south along the water. After sending troops from Suixian, Fu Yan and Zhao Feng led the Suzaku cavalry and marched along the east bank of the water.

The water originates from Yingshan Mountain in Nanyang County, and its flow direction is from northwest to southeast, and then flows into Yunmengze. Anlu City is located in the lower reaches of the water, and the west and south gates of the city are all built on the water's edge.

Before the end of the night, the front of the Liangzhou Army and the Suzaku Cavalry Department came to the outside of Anlu City with lightning speed. The front of the Liangzhou Army and Naval Division is encircled in the west and south gates of Anlu City; The Suzaku Cavalry Department is ambushed outside the north and east gates of Anlu City.

Besides, Liu Hu and Deng Long, the guards of An Lucheng, were drinking and having fun in the camp when a captain under the tent suddenly came to report in a panic, "General Liu and General Deng, the enemy is coming...... Right now, it's outside the city! ”

Liu Hu and Deng Long were originally drunk in a daze, but when they heard such a military situation, they woke up most of the time, and both of them asked with a frightened look on their faces: "Where did the enemy come from?" It's the Liangzhou Army...... Or the Jing Nanjun? ”

The lieutenant stabilized his mind and hurriedly replied: "Returning to the two generals, it's the Liangzhou Army!" ”

Hearing that the enemy was the Liangzhou army, Liu Hu and Deng Long became more and more frightened in their hearts. Deng Long was shocked, and his hands holding the wine glass were entangled.

Deng Long immediately looked at Liu Hu, stopped talking a few times, and finally said with a trembling mouth: "General Liu, right now, there are only 5,000 naval troops and 2,000 infantry troops in Anlu City. I'm afraid it's ...... Our army is not the opponent of the Liangzhou army, and the last general thinks that it is ...... I waited for the water army, quickly retreated from the west and south gates, and after entering Yunmengze, we went east along the Yangtze River (Yangtze River) and withdrew to Xiling City! If I hesitate any longer, my life will be short! ”

Liu Hu, who is the son of Liu Biao, although he was terrified in his heart, he pretended to be righteous and awe-inspiring on his face, and he took the case and scolded in a deep voice: "Uncle Liu Gong sent this general to guard Anlu City, how could this general escape from the battle?" The combat power of the Liangzhou Army Infantry Cavalry is really powerful, but ...... The formation time of the Liangzhou Army Naval Division is very short, and it is not the opponent of our Army's Naval Division. As long as our army guards the north and east gates, what can the Liangzhou army do to me? If...... I really can't hold it, so I'll evacuate by water...... It's not too late! ”

Deng Long looked guilty and nodded solemnly. The lieutenant reported again: "General Liu, the naval division of the Liangzhou Army has encircled the west and south water gates, and now it is ...... Outside the east and north gates, no trace of the enemy has been found! ”

Deng Long originally wanted to say that if he didn't retreat directly from the East Gate and withdraw to Xiling City by land, he still didn't have the courage to say it after all. Liu Hu thought about it for a while, sneered a few times, and said with a determined face: "This must be a trick of the Liangzhou army!" Outside the east and north gates, there must be ambushes of the Liangzhou army. Ben wants to see how much ability the sailors of the Liangzhou Army can have! ”

Liu Hu said something arrogant, then got up and stepped out of the tent, and Deng Long hurriedly followed. When Liu Hu and Deng Long boarded the west gate of Anlu City and looked at the water outside the city.

Everywhere you look, you can only see ...... The lights on the surface of the water are brilliant, and there must be at least hundreds of large and small warships of the Liangzhou army, stretching from the west gate to the south gate, and from the west gate to the upstream of the water.

Liu Hu and Deng Long naturally knew how to fight water, and when they saw the prosperity of the Liangzhou military and water division, their hearts were completely shocked. Liu Hu and Deng Long looked at the Liangzhou military and naval division outside the city in distraction, unable to speak for a long time.
