"What the hell is going on, tell me slowly!"

The envoy must have realized the problem, and hurriedly took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Liu Cong: "Second son, this is Lord Huang's handwritten letter. Sun quan...... Sun Quan led the troops to attack Shaxian three days ago, the eldest prince led the troops to meet the attack, the Jiangxia naval army was defeated, Huang Daren's eldest son Huang Shot was captured, Sun Quan then led the troops to land and besieged Shaxian.

Now that the city wall of Shaxian is in ruins, it may break the city at any time, and please ask the second son to send troops to rescue quickly! ”

"How so?" After listening to the words of the envoy, Liu Cong picked up the letter again, which was indeed written by Huang Zu himself, and it seemed that the situation was very critical. Liu Cong remembered that just last year, Liu Cong kindly reminded Huang Zu not to rush in.

As a result, Huang Zu did not stop and insisted on sending his generals to attack Chaisang, which led to the capture of his subordinate Deng Long. Although Huang Zu had remorse, he did not accept Liu Cong's affection. After Liu Qi arrived in Jiangxia, Huang Zu almost cut off contact with Liu Cong.

It is not difficult to understand that Huang Zu is Liu Biao's old subordinate, Liu Qi and Liu Cong are competing for inheritance, and Huang Zu is naturally not good to participate. Especially in front of Liu Qi, if you have a close relationship with Liu Cong, isn't it equivalent to telling outsiders that you support Liu Cong?

Now that Huang Zu is writing a letter asking for help, the situation must be urgent!

"You go back quickly and report to Lord Huang Zu, and Cong will order all the people to rush to Jiangxia!"

"Thank you so much for the second son!" The envoy received Liu Cong's affirmative reply and left in a hurry. Rushing overnight, I was going to Nanjun to deliver the letter, but I didn't expect Liu Cong's troops to be here, and the envoy also had a lot of worries.

"Yuqi, quickly recruit Mr. Kong Ming and a few generals to come!" In Liu Cong's impression, there should not have been such a big war in Jiangxia this year, Sun Quan came to sneak attack, but he mainly plundered the people, and did not capture Shaxian, and it was not until next year that Huang Zu was broken by Gan Ning and others.

Is history quietly drifting off course?

Thinking of his crossing, Zhuge Liang followed him, and Gan Ning had never been to Jiangxia, let alone surrendered to Sun Quan, as well as that Pang Tong...... If this is the case, it will be troublesome, once the city is broken, with the hatred between the Sun family and Huang Zu, Huang Zu will die.

Zhuge Liang, Gan Ning, Wei Yan, Liu Pan, and Huang Zhong were also woken up in their sleep, but as soon as they heard that something had happened in Jiangxia, they all immediately fell asleep. Especially Zhuge Liang, Liu Cong has analyzed the future strategy with him many times before, and the importance of Jiangxia, Zhuge Liang naturally knows.

And Gan Ning, Wei Yan and others have also been instilled by Liu Cong many times, and every exercise in the past year has been assumed that Jiangxia was attacked and went to the rescue, but I didn't expect that something really happened now?

"Ladies and gentlemen, the envoy has brought a letter of help from Lord Huang Zu and the battle situation in Jiangxia. At present, there are only 6,000 guards in Shaxian City, and there are nearly 30,000 infantry in Sun Quan's water division. ”

"Lord, there are 15,000 people in the Jiangxia army, why can't you prevent Sun Quan from landing on the shore?" When Zhuge Liang heard that Sha Xian only had 6,000 guards, he felt strange. Due to being on the front line, Jiangxia's main enemy was Sun Quan, so the Jiangxia garrison was dominated by a naval army, with 15,000 men and 5,000 infantry. After only three days of war, two-thirds of the losses were made?

"Neither the envoy nor the letter asking for help explained it in detail, but it is said that when Sun Quan came to attack Jiangxia three days ago, his brother Liu Qi led his troops to meet him, and the result was a great defeat......

"The eldest prince...... It shouldn't be, the combat power of the Jiangxia Navy and the combat power of the Jiangdong Sun Quan Navy have always been equal, not to mention that there is Shiyuan in the ......"

Liu Cong also wondered, then Liu Qi is a straw bag, but Pang Tong is not, there is also yellow shooting assistance, although it is a bit difficult for 15,000 people to defend against 30,000 people, it will not be defeated.

"It's too late to analyze the cause and effect, so I'll rush to Shaxian with my brother and the cavalry. Please also ask Mr. to lead the amphibious troops to rush to Shaxian to rescue. Although Liu Cong brought 20,000 people with him in this exercise, it would take at least half a day to reorganize the troops and immediately march to Shaxian. Only cavalry can reach quickly. Although Liu Cong finally cobbled together a thousand war horses to form the current cavalry team. In normal times, these cavalry are the treasures of Liu Cong's troops.

But compared to the killing of Huang Zu and the loss of Jiangxia, Liu Cong couldn't take care of these, even if he desperately lost all the cavalry, he had to rush to Shaxian as soon as possible. But Zhuge Liang was not thinking about this.

"Lord, by all means, now that the enemy and I are unknown, if the lord rashly leads his troops there, aren't you afraid of falling for someone else's plan?"

"Medium? Sir mean? ”

"If anyone thinks that Childe's troops are too strong, just take this opportunity to let our army fight Sun Quan's troops, no matter what the victory or defeat, our army will definitely suffer heavy losses."

"Huang Zu won't cheat me like this, right?" Liu Cong carefully savored Zhuge Liang's words, and felt that it was not unreasonable, otherwise how could 15,000 naval troops and 5,000 infantry defend the city, and in the face of 30,000 enemy troops, only one-third would be left in three days?

"Huang Taishou won't be able to, but what if there is the eldest prince and Pang Tong on the side to give advice? If someone says that the lord is training troops in Nanjun and does not support the front line, it is a waste of food.

And now that the Jiangxia war has started, it is the time for the lord to contribute, and Lord Huang may not want to preserve his strength and let the prince charge forward. Zhuge Liang didn't say much about his wife's uncle, but Jiangxia's situation was indeed suspicious.

"My lord, Weichen's idea is that while we are preparing the troops for rescue, we will send more sentry cavalry to investigate the front-line intelligence."

"General, Mr. Kong Ming's concerns are reasonable, in case someone wants to make my department cannon fodder, wouldn't it be dangerous for Gongzi and General Liu to lead the cavalry to rush to help?" Although they all knew that it was urgent to rescue Jiangxia, under Zhuge Liang's reminder, Wei Yan also began to calm down.

"But if you miss it, Sha Xian will be in danger, Lord Huang and his brother and the people in the city ......"

"Buchang, it's better for me to lead the cavalry forward, and you will prepare the water and land troops to come later." Liu Pan saw that Liu Cong was in a dilemma, so he proposed to go by himself.

"That's fine, my lord, General Liu is the son of General Zhennan, and he will lead the cavalry to go as if the lord is going in person." At this time, Zhuge Liang was not very sure, in case Jiangxia was really urgent, and Liu Cong did not send cavalry, resulting in Huang Zu, Liu Qi and others being captured or killed, the consequences would be very serious.

"Lord, I think that Jiang Xia must want to lead my department to be cannon fodder, the battle situation must not be as serious as said, otherwise how can Lord Huang Quan's Jinyi guard let there be no information to come." Liu Yin, who was standing aside, suddenly felt as if he had found ironclad evidence.

"Yes, lord, there is no news from Jinyiwei, do you want to wait?"

"Xingxu Jinyiwei doesn't have many people in Jiangxia, and Sun Quan is attacking at night, and Jinyiwei is afraid that it will be after dawn when he gets information. At this time, it is uncertain whether you can go out of the city, so naturally you will not be able to pass on the news. Mr. is not unreasonable, but Cong still can't take risks, and would rather sacrifice the team than miss the opportunity to rescue Jiang Xia. ”

He has always advocated exercises in the Yangtze River, in addition to training the combat ability of the team, it is also to prevent Sun Quan from raiding Jiangxia, and now that Sun Quan is here, he also happens to come out very close to Jiangxia, so naturally he can't miss the opportunity.

After a short ideological struggle, Liu Cong decided that he and Liu Pan led the cavalry first, and Zhuge Liang, Wei Yan, Gan Ning and others went later. After all, what Huang Zu said in his heart was that Sha Xian was in danger. Even if Huang Zu conspired with Liu Qi and others, it would only be his own 20,000 troops facing Sun Quan's 30,000, as long as the two sides were in contact, Huang Zu would not be able to hide in the city and not come out. In this way, your chances of winning are still relatively large.

But if Sun Quan really besieged the city at this moment, although a thousand cavalry was not enough to disperse Sun Quan's besieging troops, it could greatly relieve the pressure on the defenders in the city, and he would definitely regret it if he missed the opportunity.

Seeing Liu Cong's insistence, it was inconvenient for Zhuge Liang to say more, after all, the identities of Huang Zu and Liu Qi were too sensitive. just told Liu Cong to be careful and ride more whistles on the road.

After arranging the troops, Liu Cong and Liu Pan led the cavalry to rush to Shaxian. The army was handed over to Zhuge Liang, Wei Yan, Gan Ning and others to command.

And at this moment, Jiangxia County is ten miles west of Shaxian City.

On a small dirt slope, a group of people surrounded a young man in fish scale armor, the man was not lightly injured, and the surrounding soldiers were all very nervous, and there were about four or five hundred soldiers around this group, dressed in soft leather armor, holding spears or halberds in their hands, and they were also very nervous looking at the other side of the hillside. Apparently these people are in charge of the guards.
