Chaisang is an important military town in Yangzhou, and it is a battleground for soldiers in all dynasties.

Because of the dangerous terrain of Chaisang, the traffic extends in all directions, holding Chaisang is equivalent to choking the seven inches of the Yangtze River, which is the gateway to Yangzhou.

When the Three Kingdoms were established, the successive governors of Eastern Wu would personally lead heavy troops to be stationed here.

It is conceivable that as long as Yuan Shu is not mentally retarded, he will definitely be heavily armed under Chai Sangbu and send his henchmen to garrison.

Liu Qi said that he wanted to beat Yuan Shu hard, and the choice was really not a soft persimmon.

However, it seems a little too hard.

……

The Grand Prince's Mansion should now be called General Zhenwu's Mansion.

Liu Wenjing, Kuai Liang, and Guo Jia gathered together to listen to Liu Qi's recounting of what happened in the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion.

"The envoy actually agreed like that?" Kuai Liang couldn't believe it, "According to the character of the envoy, his subordinates thought that they needed to persuade him for a few more days. ”

Liu Qi spread out his hand: "What's so surprising, whether it's a win or a loser, my father won't lose anyway." ”

If you win, you will have a gateway to Yangzhou, and the passage to the east will be opened from then on.

The defeat, except for the uncertainty of his own life and death, did not have much loss for Liu Biao.

Anyway, Yuan Shu will definitely not start a full-scale war with Jingzhou at this time.

To put it bluntly, like Liu Biao's so-called plot to Yizhou, it is a gamble and a run-and-run business.

Kuai Liang bowed his head and was silent.

Obviously, he is also very clear about the style of his own envoy.

"It can be expected that even if the battle on the front line is urgent, we had better not expect you to send reinforcements?" Guo Jia scoffed. "I don't know how many soldiers and horses can be exchanged for the lord's box of glass?"

There are currently less than 3,000 soldiers and horses in Yancheng, even if it is elite, it is a fool's dream to want to fight Chaisang with such a few people!

Therefore, the reason why the glass and the manufacturing method of the glass are offered, in addition to easing the relationship between father and son, the most important task is to exchange for soldiers and horses.

It is not the indiscriminate army deployed to him by Cai Mao, Zhang Yunzhi and others, but the real elite soldiers of Jingzhou that Liu Biao relied on to seize Jiangdong!

"Not much, 10,000 soldiers, 20,000 auxiliaries." Liu Qi smiled helplessly, "The so-called auxiliary soldiers are just some people's husbands, and it is okay to transport grain and straw, but they can't go to the battlefield." ”

"Among them are a thousand horsemen, six thousand foot soldiers, and three thousand crossbowmen."

Guo Jia immediately showed a speechless expression.

What a huge profit Liuli has, he actually gave his son-in-law 10,000 horses, of which there are only 1,000 cavalry, and he is also picking!

"It would be nice to have."

Liu Wenjing was the calmest among them, and she actually laughed when she heard this: "As for the generals, there won't be a single fierce general, right?" ”

At the mention of this, Liu Qi seemed a little happy: "My father is generous at this point, I implore the Zhonglang of Changsha to promote Huang Zhong and Huang Han to me as a deputy general, and my father agreed very happily, and at this time the herald has been changed to the road." ”

Liu Wenjing and Guo Jia both looked at Kuai Liang.

One of them was summoned in the game, and the other was coming to Jingzhou for the first time and was not familiar with Jingzhou generals.

Kuai Liang was very satisfied: "Huang Hansheng was also a fierce general at that time, and as the deputy general of the son, the son should be able to add wings like a tiger!" ”

——

In the fourth year of the first peace, the autumn harvest has just passed.

At that time, Sun Ben, the assassin of Yuzhou, brazenly attacked Yancheng and was repelled by Liu Qi, the general of Zhenwu.

Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao was furious, ordered Cheng Ma Gong of Nanyang County to reorganize the armament, and put Zhang Yun out of prison, and ordered him to lead his troops into Nanyang to make a gesture of attacking Yuzhou.

Yuan Shu was shocked, hurriedly sent a large number of reinforcements to Yuzhou, and repeatedly instructed Sun Ben to guard the gate for him.

If there is any mistake in Yuzhou, the springboard for entering the Central Plains will be gone!

Just when people thought that Liu and Yuan would break out a big battle in Yuzhou, Zhang Yun placed the army near Yancheng and never moved again.

Sun Ben did not dare to underestimate the enemy, and tensed his nerves all the time to take precautions, and for a time, Yuzhou became the center of attention of the people.

And at this time, Liu Qi took Zhonglang General Huang Zhong as his deputy general, and was accompanied by Huo Quzhi, Wei Xiaokuan, Li Cunxiao and other fierce generals, leading a total of 13,000 troops, passing through Jiangxia in a low-key manner, and appeared in the Jiuling Mountain outside Chaisang City!

General Chai Sang is Yuan Shu's confidant Ji Ling, and on this day, he was discussing the situation in Yuzhou with his generals, and the scout came to report suddenly.

"General! In case of emergency military situation, it was found in Jiuling Mountain that an army had stolen into the territory of Chaisang, with more than 10,000 men and horses, including many auxiliaries. From the perspective of the past, it should be the soldiers and horses under the command of Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao! ”

"What!" Ji Ling stood up suddenly, but showed a confused expression, "Liu Biao wants to do something to me Chai Sang?" ”

"But I have 30,000 elite defenders in Chaisang, the city is strong, and the pond is deep, what can more than 10,000 people do?" As for the auxiliaries, no one paid attention to them.

Ji Ling turned back and forth three times, his brows still furrowed: "Who is the enemy general?" ”

"Not known yet!"

"Probe!"

The scout took the order and left, and Ji Ling's lieutenant Li Feng couldn't help asking: "General, then Liu Biao sent more than 10,000 people over, so he didn't really want to attack Chaisang, right?" ”

"I don't know."

Ji Ling was helpless, if it was an army of 100,000 that came, then what else to say, hurry up and ask for help to prepare to defend the city.

But more than 10,000 are dead...... What can more than 10,000 pawns do?!

"General, do you want to pass through Ming Gong?"

Ji Ling thought about it, and finally his cautious personality prevailed: "I still want it, hurry up and write down the military situation here in detail, and report it to Ming Gong quickly!" ”

The gateway of Chaisang Yangzhou, the north and east sides are the Yangtze River natural danger, once it is breached, it can be unimpeded to the east and south, the reason why Yuan Shu sent Ji Ling to garrison here is to fancy its stable character, good at guarding the city, and loyalty is beyond doubt.

After Ji Ling arrived, he did not blindly rely on natural insurance, and he also put a lot of effort into Chaisang's city defense.

First of all, the city wall is heightened, the outer wall is as high as nine zhang, and the wall is made of green bricks by the best craftsmen caught in the Central Plains, and it is almost impossible to climb.

Outside the four gates of the east, west, north and south, there are cast urn castles for defense, and when the enemy army comes to attack, the urn castle is closed to prevent the fragile city gates from being exposed.

Even if Liu Qi's army came from the west, the Yangtze River natural danger did not work, but the city defense alone was enough to give the enemy a headache.

In addition, not only has there been 30,000 elite troops, Ji Ling also selected 5,000 strong soldiers from the army, and everyone can pull a hundred catties of big bows, and the siegers are often damaged more than half of them before they touch the city wall, and they are unable to fight again.

In addition, Ji Ling himself is also a fierce general who can fight with Guan Yu for dozens of rounds, and he has a lot of experience in using soldiers, and Chai Sang can almost be called impregnable!

Liu Qi and others were stationed at the foot of Jiuling Mountain, and when they looked at Chaisang City, what they saw was this impeccable city defense.

After ordering Jingzhou's infantry to lose 100 people in an exploratory attack, Liu Qi ordered people to camp on the spot and summoned Huang Zhong, Guo Jia, Huo Quzhi, Wei Xiaokuan, Li Cunxiao and others to discuss countermeasures.

In fact, Huang Zhong once resolutely opposed attacking Chaisang with a small number of troops, but after being ignored by Liu Qi, he thought that this eldest prince was not familiar with military affairs and did not speak again.
