Sun Quan arranged for people to put out the fire while preparing to meet the enemy who surrounded him on land. Originally, there were nearly 15,000 Sun Quan's army, and the 2,000 people stationed on the Xiakou ship were wiped out by Gan Ning in an instant. Most of the encampment on land was unstable and was about to rest when it was surrounded. In the panic, there were countless casualties!

Poor Sun Quan, who still won a big victory during the day, captured Shaxian, and just took the opportunity to plunder. Then there was the loss of the army, and at night, he was first deceived by Liu Cong with a trick, but before he could stand firm, the warship was burned, and the land was surrounded. Seeing the sky-high fire in Xiakou, Sun Quan's army was disheartened, and in terms of combat effectiveness, it was not as good as the troops led by Liu Cong on land. Another thousand cavalry broke into the camp. I cried and screamed for a while.

"Lord, Sun Quan's defeat has been revealed, do you want to leave a gap for them to escape, so as to reduce the damage of our army?" Zhuge Liang, who accompanied Liu Cong to the city wall of Shaxian South Gate, asked.

"Well, our army is not superior in numbers, if it is surrounded on all sides, Sun Quan will definitely fight to the death and not retreat, leave an order to go down, let go of the east, let Sun Quan flee, but no one must board the ship!"

Liu Cong wanted to chase and fight, but he stuck the Yangtze River and did not let Sun Quan cross the river, so the battle was far from over. Sun Quan's troops must have fled east when they saw the gap, so Liu Cong could calmly organize a two-way pursuit, both land and water.

Sure enough, the soldiers of Nanjun who got the military order quickly adjusted the encirclement, Sun Quan's subordinates are also very smart, it must be a dead end in Jiangxia and Huang Zu and others, there are two groups of reinforcements tonight, I don't know if Liu Biao has any reinforcements in the future, this time Sun Quan took 30,000 people to go deep into the army to rob the robbery. It's just that I didn't expect the battle to be surprisingly smooth on the first day of the first year, and even Shaxian City and Huang Zu took the initiative to let it out, and now the more I think about it, the more wrong it becomes.

Sun Quan felt that he was being led by the nose by the enemy from the moment he entered Shaxian City, and he would see life, so he naturally ran to the east without hesitation. ran all the way like this, one side desperately chased after it, until dawn, chased out forty or fifty miles, and did not see the two sides strike, a chase lasted for two whole days, until it was close to the boundary of Sun Quan, Liu Cong gave the order to strike the army.

At this time, there were only two or three thousand of Sun Quan's subordinates left, most of whom were wounded, and Liu Cong also paid the price of three thousand men in the siege battle that night. However, if you can save Huang Zu and save Jiang Xia, this loss is worth it. 30,000 men was almost the entire strength of Sun Quan's army in Chaisang, although the Jiangxia army was also lost in the initial engagement. But compared with the two, Sun Quan still lost. At least for a year or two, it will be impossible to launch an attack on Jiangxia as usual.

However, the Ganning troops on the river were idle, and when Sun Quan's troops ran away, they went into Xiakou to clean up the mess, extinguish the fire, and find ships that could continue to be used. Liu Cong also implored Huang Zu to send ships to Gan Ning with 15,000 men, and Zhuge Liang rushed straight to Chaisang as a military advisor, intending to completely destroy the naval base that Zhou Yu had worked so hard to build, so as to severely defeat Sun Quan.

Even Huang Jie, who was captured by Sun Quan, was able to escape in the chaos, which made Huang Zu even more overjoyed. After the battle was over and Jiangxia was saved, Huang Zu sent an envoy to inform Liu Biao before the reinforcements from Xiangyang came. Originally, Huang Zu wanted to send Liu Qi, the plague god, back to Xiangyang by the way, but Liu Qi resolutely refused to go back.

When Sun Quan besieged the city, he couldn't wait to fly back with his wings.

But now that Liu Cong led the troops to kill Sun Quan, Liu Qi remembered his sins, if he returned to Xiangyang at this time, he was afraid that he would be beaten to death by Liu Biao's stick, and he would almost destroy the Huang Zu family, and there were 15,000 Jiangxia water troops, which were wiped out in an instant.

Liu Qi didn't want to go back to Xiangyang, and Liu Cong didn't want him to go back to Xiangyang.

In Liu Cong's opinion, now that Liu Qi continues to stay in Shaxian, Huang Zu will definitely not be as polite as before, and Liu Qi will no longer want to touch the army. In this way, Liu Qi's stay in Jiangxia is equivalent to an idler, and he is more idle than in Xiangyang. Instead, let him go back to Xiangyang, but he will make waves together with Kuai Yue and others.

Huang Zu spent a lot of effort to praise Liu Cong as a literal and martial arts strategy, proficient in everything. Although Zhuge Liang and others were suspicious, Su Fei, Huang An and others were unanimous.

Huang Zu saw that Liu Cong was in a good mood, so he got up and said to Liu Cong: "Virtuous nephew, civil and military all-rounder, in the future, the affairs of Jiangxia will all depend on you." ”

"Uncle Huang, you must not be like this, being able to repel the enemy army is the result of the concerted efforts of the whole city of Shaxian. Although Cong's merit is just the icing on the cake, now that the enemy soldiers have retreated, Cong will return to Nanjun one day. ”

"Virtuous nephew, I can't bear you, fortunately, you first injured two enemy generals yesterday, and then rode alone to attack Xiakou, causing Sun Quan to panic and flee in panic. With you, I'm afraid that Sun Quan won't dare to come again......"

In fact, Liu Cong knew that Cao Cao was about to march south, whether it was Huang Zu or Wen Ping, they all wanted to stay by his side, and time was tight and they had to deepen their trust in each other, but military training was the key, so of course he couldn't stay in Jiangxia. At the moment, Huang Zu of the formation said: "No, my uncle has been competing with the Sun family for many years, and my uncle is in Jiangxia, plus this big defeat, I believe that the Sun family will not dare to make a mistake for a while." The nephew is young and has already led a county to guard, how can he be more successful.

"Yes, too, the ancestor wears a sinful body, and only wants to save his wife, and no longer covets these false names. In the future, if the ancestor is idle at home, he also hopes that the virtuous nephew will carry more dogs. ”

This is also Huang Zu's heartfelt words, he is over half a hundred years old, even if Liu Biao asks him to return to his hometown immediately, he has no regrets, the most important thing is that the people of Shaxian did not suffer a lot of losses this time, and he can be regarded as having an explanation for the clansmen, but several sons were born in this troubled era, and their intelligence is mediocre, since they can meet the second son, he naturally has to be cheeky and strongly recommended.

"Uncle is polite, uncle has been operating in Jiangxia for many years, presumably my father also deeply feels your credit, and he will be able to arrange it properly."

Liu Cong's courteous style this time, but he did not lose his old age and everyone's demeanor, which really surprised Huang Zu, but when it came to leading troops to fight and garrisoning the frontier, Huang Zu was afraid that he was unwilling to let Liu Cong lift his shoes.

Today, I first heard that Huang Zu has been touting the second son, and he remembered some rumors he heard in Xiangyang, the second son is so brave and wise, it is not impossible for him to replace the eldest son Liu Qi to inherit Liu Biao's throne and become the new lord of Jingzhou. This was the first time Huang Zu really felt Liu Cong. Compared with the eldest son Liu Qi, it is really a world of difference.

After everyone exchanged lunches for a while, Liu Cong proposed to lead the troops back to Nanjun the next day. Huang Zu was also inconvenient to stay, as soon as he came, Liu Cong brought most of the men and horses to attack Chaisang, as a promising heir to the Nanjun Taishou, General Pingnan naturally could not leave his post for a long time without permission to stay outside.

Although Liu Cong also wanted to spend more time with Huang Zu, this rescue was very hasty and suffered heavy losses, so he had to hurry up and go back to recruit troops to make up for the losses, otherwise when Cao Cao called, he would really be blind.

In the evening, Huang Zu came to Liu Cong's resting place again, took out a box of gold and said to Liu Cong: "Virtuous nephew, wise and brave, keep me from losing my envy, these small gifts are my thank you gifts on behalf of the clan and my son, and I hope that the son will accept them." ”

Liu Cong took a look, good guy, this Huang Zu's Huang family seems to be really a big family, but it is also a blessing to let them be protected from Sun Quan's abduction, especially to save Huang Zu's family and take the risk to save his wife from Shaxian City, if you don't accept it at all, it is a bit unkind.

"Uncle, this ...... How much is this? ”

"Four hundred catties of gold, rest assured that all of them are from a clear source."

Four hundred catties of gold, although it is made in Chinese, but it is also a lot, and it is four million when converted into five baht. At this time, the living expenses of raising an ordinary soldier for a year were 8,000 yuan, and the consumption of a war horse was only 8,000 yuan, which means that Huang Zu gave this box of gold was enough to support 250 cavalrymen for a year.

"Then thank you uncle." has money to send to the door, for Liu Cong, who is ready to develop his own power in order to protect himself, he will definitely not miss it.

"Virtuous nephew, I asked Huang Rui to send you back to Nanjun. In the future, I hope that my nephew will take more care of the dogs. ”

"Where is it, the Huang Rui brothers have a docile temperament, but they are very brave when they start fighting, which is very rare, and they will definitely recommend it to their father when they go back."

"Thank you so much, nephew!"

"Uncle, my father must be reluctant for you to leave Jiangxia, but my father is old, and Xiangyang needs someone to preside over the overall situation. Although Lord Cai, the father-in-law, is the governor of the navy, his talent is limited. Cong thought that his uncle might as well take this opportunity to leave Jiangxia and go to Xiangyang to help his father, although he was far away from home, as long as Jingzhou was strong, he could also keep Jiangxia safe. Huang Jie can still replace his uncle as Jiangxia Taishou ......"
