Chapter 423: Jiangdong Old Minister
Jiangxia City.
Now it is also in the hands of Sun Quan.
Or rather, it is returned to its rightful owner.
Originally, Jiangxia was not Liu Biao's territory, but after Liu Biao came to Jingzhou to take office, he lent it from Sun Jian, and he kept it for himself and did not return it to Sun Jian.
Moreover, after Sun Jian got the 'Jade Seal of the Country', he also worked with Liu Bei to intercept and kill Sun Jian, and let Sun Jian die.
But.
When Liu Biao was attacked by the Qin army and was defeated, Sun Quan, who inherited the position of the lord of Jiangdong, was taken by surprise and took Jiangxia by quick action.
This is also due to the fact that the Qin army attacked the land of Jingzhou.
Huang Zu, who was guarding Jiangxia, led most of the defenders to leave, and Huang Zu was not popular in Jiangxia, so as soon as he left, something happened.
Let the Jiangdong army take Jiangxia without any effort and occupy a place in Jingzhou.
Of course, there is also a plan for Koto.
Otherwise, how could Jiangxia, which still has 20,000 defenders, be occupied by the Jiangdong Army so quickly, no matter what, it still has the strength to fight.
...
On the city wall, what is hung is no longer the banner of the Jingzhou army, but the flag of Jiangdong, and the soldiers guarding the city wall are no longer the Jingzhou army, but the Jiangdong army.
Everything in Jiangxia City was taken over by the Jiangdong Army.
And in the middle of the city walls.
There were several people standing there, looking out of the city, with swords in their hands and military generals in battle armor, as well as strategists dressed as literati.
Far outside the city.
There was a large camp under construction, and although it was a little far away, it could still be faintly seen during the day, but it was not very clear.
But that's enough.
Several people standing in the center of the city wall will come to the city wall because of this.
After all, after being unable to break through the power of the Qin army and then seek the rest of Jingzhou's territory, the Jiangdong army also retreated to Jiangxia, stuck in Jiangxia, waiting for the opportunity.
And these people are also the main people who led the army to guard Jiangxia.
Jiangxia is a very important place for both them and the Qin army, which can be attacked and defended, and can occupy a certain advantage.
It was only because of something that there was a truce before.
But now, it can't continue to be calm.
In the distance, you can vaguely see that the soldiers and horses who are building the camp are the Qin army, and this also means that there is a battle between the two of them.
"Governor Zhou, it seems that the Qin army is not good at coming this time!" A strategist dressed as a literati among several people sighed.
In the past, they wanted to break through the power of the Qin army, taking advantage of the occupation of Jiangxia and planning the territory of Jingzhou, but now they have changed.
The Qin army built a camp in front of the city they guarded, which means that it is self-evident.
Coupled with the news of Jianye, the Qin army will not retreat easily, once it starts, it must be divided into a winner, unlike them before, they can fight if they can, and if they can't, they will retreat, waiting for the opportunity.
Hear the words.
The rest nodded in agreement.
And the person in the center, with a face like a crown of jade, is a beautiful man, holding a sword in his hand, wearing battle armor and a red cloak, although he is dressed as a military general, but with the temperament of a literati, he looks elegant.
And this person is also the real person in charge of Jiangxia now, Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin, the governor of the Jiangdong Navy Army.
The several people on his side were Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Zhuge Jin, and Lu Su.
It was Lu Su who spoke before.
Zhou Yu also frowned, and his eyes flashed.
Guarding the city are also the old men under Sun Ce's command, loyal to Sun Ce's old ministers.
It was when they learned of the arrival of the Qin army, and that they were also building a camp in the distance outside the city, that they came from the city to the city wall and observed.
After all, as an opponent, it is impossible not to pay attention to the opponent's movements.
What's more, it's something that happened in front of them.
As for why Qin Jun behaved now, they were still very clear in their hearts.
Because of the things that came out of Jianye.
Even if there was no such thing, there would still be a battle between them and the Qin army, and if it weren't for the turmoil that Liu Wei launched in Chang'an before, perhaps the Qin army would have already come to seize Jiangxia City.
And it won't be delayed until now.
will not let them have the opportunity to attack the rest of Jingzhou's territory, although except for Jiangxia, which took the opportunity, they have never taken the rest of Jingzhou's territory.
The news from Jianye was just an opportunity, not a source.
Moreover.
As far as the current situation in the Central Plains is concerned, the Qin army is unstoppable, and its intention to unify the Central Plains has long been very clear.
I didn't see it, now Qin Yin has already won most of the Central Plains.
There is no need to guess at what the intention is.
If they Jiangdong are not ready to submit to the court controlled by Qin Yin, that battle is also inevitable, and it cannot be avoided, it is just a matter of time or time.
There's never been a better time to do it.
And for good reason.
"Now that Qin Yin has just set off from Chang'an, it will still take a certain amount of time to rush to Jingzhou, and Qin Yin wants to prepare to personally lead the army to crusade, then the Qin army will not attack so quickly, and now he is building a camp outside the city, just to put pressure on me!" Zhou Yu said.
Regarding Qin Yin's whereabouts, he still has some concern.
In Chang'an, there are also reports sent by them, and in the land of Jingzhou, there are also them.
Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles.
If you don't even know the situation of your opponent and want to win the game, it is simply impossible, unless you have the absolute strength to crush it.
But they didn't.
Hear Zhou Yu's words.
Lu Su and the others also nodded in agreement.
They have fought with the Qin army, and they still have a certain understanding of the Qin army.
Moreover, Qin Jun's actions, as Zhou Yu said, did not have the idea of coming to attack immediately, but were preparing to build a large camp and waiting for Qin Yin's arrival.
Before Qin Yin arrived, it was still relatively stable.
Of course, there are still precautions that need to be had, and it is impossible to do nothing.
If there was an opportunity, they would not believe that the Qin army that appeared outside the city would let go of the opportunity to take Jiangxia City, even if Qin Yin had not yet arrived.
If you don't have a chance, then say something else.
Zhou Yu glanced at the figure of Qin Jun in the distance outside the city, and continued: "Go back first, and then discuss!" ”
Since the Qin army didn't have the idea of coming to attack, it didn't have much effect to stay on the city wall, and if you want to deal with the Qin army, you still need to make certain arrangements.
The Qin army is not good.
If they want to defend Jiangxia, they still need to be prepared to deal with it.
"No!"
Lu Su and the others looked at each other and had no objections.
Forthwith.
Zhou Yu and the others left from the city wall, but it also made the soldiers guarding the city wall vigilant and stepped up their attention to the Qin army.
