Jia Xu Lusu and others brought the Xiliang Navy, the largest warship is called 'Xianyang', which can carry more than 2,000 soldiers, and belongs to the fourth largest ship in the preparation of Dong Zhuo's naval army, second only to the first largest ship 'Chang'an' and the second largest ship 'Wuwei', and 'Luoyang' and 'Xiangyang' are on the same level, because of the urgency of time, Chang'an and Wuwei and other warships are still under intense construction, this Xianyang is only half completed when it departs, and the Xianyang with weapons and ironclad has not yet been equipped has become the temporary flagship of Dong Zhuo's naval army. It also became Dong Zhuojun's temporary headquarters. And Dong Zhuojun actually designated the 'Luoyang' named after the capital of the Han Dynasty as only the third level, and his wolf ambition is really obvious.

On the second night of the first month of October in the fourth year of the first year of the first peace, the Xianyang only built a two-story cabin, Kang Peng was still in a coma, Jia Xu summoned the generals in the name of the military division to discuss the next tactics, Jia Xu first said: "We must immediately attack Xiangyang, before Jingzhou can obtain the sympathy and assistance of the world's corporal clan." Occupy Jingzhou and eliminate Liu Biao. ”

"Great idea!" Lu Bu gritted his teeth and said: "Those bastards dare to abuse my father-in-law like this, I want to strip Liu Biao and those scholars alive with a knife to avenge my father-in-law!" The military's generals Ma Chao, Pang De and Zhang Xiu all agreed with Jia Xu's decision and Lu Bu's idea, only Gan Ning did not speak.

"But we're completely ill-prepared." Lu Su expressed doubts, "Now we only have 300 large and small warships in our hands, most of which have not yet been completed, and we can only barely transport army troops, and the water war is far from enough." Moreover, the military supplies are far from enough, the vast majority of the food and ordnance are still scattered all over the three prefectures of Yong and Liang, Yizhou is still difficult to protect itself this year, and it is impossible to support the front line at all, only Fuling, Yong'an and Shangyong have stored 100,000 troops to use the grain and grass for January, and there are only more than 600,000 special long arrows used by the foot bow, and most of the catapults are still in Chengdu, and less than 100 can be delivered to the battlefield in time. ”

After Lu Su finished speaking, the generals of Dong Zhuojun, who were still clamoring to level Jingzhou just now, were all speechless, there was no logistics, no food, grass and ordnance, no matter how crazy they were, they didn't dare to pack a ticket to fight Jingzhou, but Lu Bu was still stubborn, "It doesn't matter, the combat effectiveness of the Jingzhou army is far inferior to our army, and it is far from our opponent." ”

"Wen Hou, don't be impatient." Pang Tong said slowly: "The villain lives in Xiangyang, knows the situation in Jingzhou very well, the Jingzhou army has 170,000 horse infantry troops, 80,000 naval troops, and more than 7,000 large and small warships. ”

"Why?" Lu Buqi said.

"The support of the nobles." Pang Tong sighed and said: "At the beginning of the war, Liu Biao had mobilized troops from Changsha and Wuling counties to reinforce Xiakou, but Han Xuan, Liu Du and others were worried about the consumption of their own strength, so they excused themselves, and the Jingzhou scholars also tried every possible way to conceal the population and taxes, evade the grain endowment, so that the front line of the Huang Zu army was overstretched, resulting in defeat, the Jiangdong army occupied Xiangjiang and forced Fancheng, Xiangyang was in danger, the Jingzhou soldiers in order to protect their own interests, and supported Huang Zu, and the four counties also sent troops to harass the rear of the Jiangdong army, and the Huang Zu army was able to stalemate with the Jiangdong army. If our army attacks Jingzhou, the Jingzhou scholars will fully support the Jingzhou army, and the prospects of our army are not optimistic. ”

Lu Bu opened his mouth wide, and he wanted to say something, but he sat down like a deflated ball. At this time, Jia Xu sighed, shook his head and said: "Mr. Shiyuan, Brother Zijingxian, I know what you said, I can also add a little bit that is unfavorable to our army, Jiangdong Sun Quanjun has just formed a deep enmity with our army, Jiangdong is connected to Xiangyang waterway, once the war starts, we also have to consider the variables of Sun Quanjun's reinforcement of Jingzhou." ”

"Since it's so dangerous, then you still want us to attack Jingzhou now?" Lu Bu asked angrily.

"There is no choice." Jia Xu said with a wry smile: "In two days, we killed thousands of Shilin and tens of thousands of Jingzhou soldiers, more than we killed during the Luoyang turmoil, the rabbit died and the fox was sad, after the news spread, the world's corporal clan hated our army to the bone, and the princes of the world, in addition to our army, are all relying on the local warriors to gain a foothold, one is not careful, the third time against our army of the princes' alliance will be formed, at that time, our army will not even have time to recuperate, and will face several lines of combat." ”

"How dare they?" Lu Bu jumped three feet high, and said angrily: "If they dare to come, I will skin them!" ”

"They dare." A gong-like sound sounded outside the hatch, and the big man Dong Taishi, who was covered in bruises, slowly walked into the cabin with the support of Hua Tuo and Wen Lu, Dong Zhuojun and the civil and military forces saw that Kang Peng had woken up, and they were overjoyed to salute Wen'an, Kang Peng smiled and waved his hand to signal them to sit down, Kang Peng himself sat down, and specially called Lu Bu to his side and sat down on his knees.

"Good boy." Kang Peng's fat hand was placed on Lu Bu's shoulder, his voice was already a little choked, his heart was both moved and guilty, at the moment of life and death, Kang Peng still remembered to label Lu Bu as a dangerous element, but Kang Peng didn't expect that the first person who rushed to save him turned out to be Lu Bu. Now that he sees Lu Bu again, Kang Peng, who is very thick-skinned, is also a little ashamed, and Lu Bu smirks at Kang Peng with sincere concern, which makes Kang Peng's fat face even more feverish.

Without the face to speak to Lu Bu, Kang Peng turned the topic to the current battle situation, Kang Peng said: "What you said just now, the prime minister has heard it all, Wen He is right, our army has no choice but to immediately start a war with Jingzhou, before Jingzhou wins the sympathy of the world's corporal clan, when the reinforcements do not arrive, they will break through Xiangyang in one fell swoop, capture and kill Liu Biao, first, to deter the small group, and second, to occupy the opportunity of public opinion, we have mastered Jingzhou, we want Jingzhou Shilin to say that coal is white, they dare not say that it is white." Kang Peng thought about it and added, "You can also get a large number of skilled sailors in Jingzhou, why not?" ”

Lu Su was in a hurry, raised his head and was about to speak, Kang Peng waved his hand at him and said: "Zijing, the prime minister knows what you want to say, but the prime minister has made up his mind, since there are only 100,000 troops to use a month's grain and grass, then use 100,000 troops, now there are 30,000 iron cavalry and 20,000 sailors in Weiyang, Shangyong still has 30,000 iron cavalry, plus the 20,000 horses that the prime minister brought to Yongan from Chengdu, exactly 100,000 troops, one month, enough to kill Xiangyang." Besides, Jingzhou is the land of fish and rice, and soon after the autumn harvest, our army can use the method of Li Dao's boy to borrow grain from the people, and compensate after the war, which can reduce a lot of logistical burden. ”

Speaking of this, Kang Peng said arrogantly: "No matter how strong the Jingzhou Navy is, it is only in the water, on land, those second-rate troops in Jingzhou are just a chicken and a dog ear to the Xiliang Iron Cavalry of the original phase!" ”

Kang Peng made the final decision, Dong Zhuojun had no objections, Kang Peng immediately dispatched troops, first of all, he notified Shangyong's guard general Wu Ban with carrier pigeons, and ordered him to lead the 30,000 iron cavalry stationed in Shangyong, and rushed to Xiangyang City in the starry night to wait for his life. Then he ordered Wei Yan, who stayed in Yong'an, to lead 10,000 iron cavalry and 10,000 flying bear troops to set out, attack Maicheng directly through Dangyang, and join the main force; Of the 30,000 iron horsemen who had already killed Weiyang, 20,000 were led by Lu Bu to attack Maicheng, and 10,000 were handed over to Zhang Xiu for other purposes. In the end, Kang Peng called Zhang Xiu to the front alone, whispered in his ear to explain, and Zhang Xiu was overjoyed.

After Kang Peng finished deploying, Jia Xu said cautiously: "Taishi, your injuries are not well, and you have always been seasick, will your injuries be aggravated by boat?" ”

Kang Peng waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, the prime minister can hold on, the soldiers are fast, if the prime minister takes the land route, it will inevitably drag down the speed of the iron cavalry." Jia Xu didn't say much, but Kang Peng regretted this decision the next day, and he vomited to death on the boat after his serious injuries had not healed, which was even more painful than the night when he was killed by the Shi clan, which is not mentioned for the time being.

After the orders were issued, Dong Zhuojun was stationed on the spot overnight, and borrowed grain from the local people in Chuyang, Jingzhou is a place with abundant money and grain, and the merchants had a lot of grain in their hands, and in less than one night, more than 50 households of merchants in Chuyang sent a large amount of grain to Dong Zhuojun, in exchange for the white strip of double compensation after Dong Zhuojun's war, fortunately, Dong Zhuojun's attitude and integrity towards businessmen have always been good, and the businessmen were willing. In addition, the collection of grain stored in the homes of the local scholars in Chuyang was enough for the 50,000 Dong Zhuojun for seven days.

In the early morning of the third day of October in the fourth year of Chuping, Dong Zhuojun, who went deep into Chuyang, set out on three routes, and Zhang Xiu led 10,000 iron horsemen down the river, and the blade pointed at Hanyang and Wuyang; The other two roads advanced by land and water, Lu Bu led the iron cavalry to take the land route, and Kang Peng led the army to take the water route, murderously going to Liu Biao for trouble.

On the way, the seasick Kang Peng vomited in the boat, and even the divine doctor Hua Tuo was helpless, but Kang Peng still dragged the sick body to personally interrogate Huang Chengyan and Fu Wan and Cai Yong.

Kang Peng said coldly: "Lord Fu, Lord Cai, the two fathers-in-law, thanks to your blessings, the son-in-law is unfortunately still alive." Thinking of the scene that night, Kang Peng hated it so much, if it weren't for their beautiful daughter's sake, Kang Peng would have cut them down with a knife. And Cai Yong and Fu Wan didn't say a word, just spit on the deck and glared at Kang Peng.

Kang Peng was furious, and almost wanted to ask someone to push them out and cut them down, but he couldn't help himself, and said coldly: "Two fathers-in-law, as far as the son-in-law knows, you have had secret talks with Liu Biao and Sun Quan successively, if the son-in-law's expectations are good, father-in-law, you should be making some kind of alliance to crusade against the son-in-law for the third time, right?" The son-in-law is not talented, I want to know the details, I don't know if the two fathers-in-law are willing to teach? "As mentioned earlier, the Dark Moon Group and the Swallow Group have found out about the strange actions of Fu Cai and the others, but at that time, Kang Peng disappeared, and Dong Zhuojun and the group were leaderless, and no one paid attention to this seemingly inconsequential information, but fortunately, when Jia Xu came to look for Kang Peng this time, he brought all the confidential chapters, so that Kang Peng immediately understood that his father-in-law was demolishing his own platform again.

Fu Cai and the others were startled, their faces immediately turned pale, and they looked at Kang Peng incredulously. At this time, Huang Chengyan reminded beside them: "You can't say it, you would rather die than say it." ”

"Of course." Cai Yong gritted his teeth and said: "Dong thief, kill us quickly, we won't say anything." Kang Peng sneered, and was about to speak, when he suddenly felt that the world was spinning, and the soldiers beside him immediately brought the wooden basin, Kang Peng lay on the wooden basin and vomited a lot, and the next Fu Wan saw Cai Yong and Huang Chengyan, and he was greatly relieved in his heart, and he only hated Kang Peng for not being able to vomit to death on the spot.

"When Benxiang was in Luoyang, he said that Benxiang would not kill you." Kang Peng wiped his mouth with a silk handkerchief and said, "And Mr. Huang, I don't want to kill you." Speaking of this, Kang Peng's smile was bowed, but it made the three of them sweat, and sure enough, Kang Peng's smile suddenly became extremely cold, "But the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped. ”

Huang Chengyan, Fu Wan, and Cai Yong felt a chill in their hearts, it was nothing to be removed from their official positions, but they were removed from the title of scholar family, which was worse than death. But Kang Peng is not finished yet, Kang Peng smiled very much, and said with a smile: "Mr. Huang, your daughter likes her very much, and wants to take her to Chang'an's house to live for a few days, I don't know if it's okay?" There is also Lord Fu, I heard that the prime minister's sister-in-law Fu Shou will become the queen next year, you are demoted to a commoner, she naturally can't climb the dragon and the phoenix anymore, and the prime minister will also take her to Chang'an together. ”

Cai Yong is better, his only daughter has already been snatched away by Kang Peng, but Huang Chengyan and Fu Wan's foreheads are bruised, if it weren't for Dong Zhuojun's soldiers holding them down, they would definitely pounce on them and fight to the death with the bad students. And Kang Peng looked at them with a smile, and stimulated them: "Miss Huang is a genius among people, she has been in her ...... since she first saw her, and she has liked her since she first saw her, as for Miss Fushou, she should be as beautiful as her sister, and she will definitely like it very much." ”

"I said." Fu sighed and bowed his head: "But you must swear that you will never touch my little daughter." ”
