The news of Han Zong's sudden rebellion had not yet reached Jianye, and it had already spread to Xiangyang, not because of the powerful school organization throughout Jingzhou, but because Han Zong had sent a letter to Xiangyang before he started, asking Xiangyang for support.

As if he was sure that Xiangyang would definitely provide support, he didn't wait for Xiangyang to reply, so he simply took advantage of the prince's arrival in Xiakou to launch a surprise attack on the prince's mission.

The specific plot is that the Han army on the Xiangyang side doesn't know, anyway, both sides seem to be prepared, and although Han Zong launched a surprise attack for a while, he didn't quickly defeat the guards around Sun Deng as expected.

Those guards resisted desperately under the command of Pan Zhang, and almost escaped along the Yangtze River.

Han Zong gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and finally took out the weapon at the bottom of the box-

It was before the Battle of Shiting, Zhao Hao promised to support a batch of Molotov cocktails to Sun Luban, it was rare that Zhao Hao of the chicken thief did not do anything with these things, Han Zong took out these terrifying weapons, and all the ships that burned Sun Deng's big ships were wiped out in an instant,

But although Pan Zhang's character is inferior, he is indeed brave in battle, he saw that the fire was ignited, and hurriedly took Sun Deng and his subordinates off the ship to take shelter temporarily, while sending people to ask for help from all sides by land, and at the same time forming a formation with Sun Deng to resist, which really made Han Zong have nothing to do for a while.

"In other words, whoever has reinforcements first now will have the upper hand, right?"

In Xiangyang City, Guan Ping frowned tightly, trying his best to pretend to be a breezy expression, but his heart was beating loudly, and he could hear it very clearly in the silent room, which betrayed the tension and panic in his heart at once.

The general Guan Yu is still eating tea and farting in Chengdu and has not returned, the old man is old, and he always has to rest after a long journey; Guan Yinping, the sister of the general's mansion who temporarily signed the affairs of the general, also skipped the shift and left, and now Xiangyang City, uh, the person who said the whole Jingzhou has suddenly become Guan Ping, who has not fought or robbed, and has no pursuit.

What to do, what to do?

His gaze swept over the faces of everyone in the room, and he saw that Shen Tan, Meng Da, Shi Bao, and Avanti also threw their expectant eyes at him, which made Guan Ping feel a little chill in his back.

Sun Deng's intention to form an alliance with Wei to deal with Ji Han is already well known, and this thing is making a big deal of public opinion in Wuchang, saying that Eastern Wu is where the Mandate of Heaven lies, and the Han family has long been disfavored by the Mandate of Heaven.

He also blocked the waterway of the Yangtze River, collected heavy taxes on the merchants in Jingzhou, and Lec had complained to Guan Ping several times, if he beat him the Jingzhou family, he would definitely spare no effort to ask for money and people.

But for such a big matter, Guan Ping still didn't have the courage to make a decision, if he went directly to fight Sun Deng, it would not completely destroy the overall situation of the Sun-Liu Alliance, but if he didn't care about this matter, it would not be a good loss, and it would be a little difficult to catch this goods again in the future.

"General Yiju, what do you think?"

Guan Ping turned his gaze for help to Shen Tan, the biggest official among the crowd, Shen Tan scratched his big face full of beard, and pondered: "Well, looking at the end of the general, it's a good opportunity."

Sun Deng was deeply loved by Sun Quan, if it wasn't for Sun Quan's instructions, he wouldn't dare to spread rumors in Wuchang casually and speculate about the destiny of heaven.

In my opinion, Sun Quan saw that the champion Hou was making rapid progress, and he must have already given birth to the idea of uniting with Cao Wei to balance our army.

Although I don't know why Han Zong suddenly made a rebellion, one thing is certain, if Sun Deng continues to be stationed in Wuchang, he will definitely be the vanguard of fighting our army in the future. ”

Meng Da made a gesture of cutting off his head under Shen Tan, and he said substantially: "What he said is extremely true, Sun Deng is the prince of Eastern Wu, and if you catch this dog thief, Jiangdong will definitely be shaken, and if you can't do it, you can go down the river and penetrate the entire territory of Eastern Wu in one wave." ”

Although Meng Da's words were inspiring, all the people present were smart people, and they only nodded slightly, and they didn't really have the idea of destroying Dongwu.

After all, if there is a war on two fronts at the same time, even if Ji Han's soldiers are strong and invincible, the logistics will be 100% explosive.

Avanti wisped his beard and said: "I am also in favor of attacking Sun Deng, the opportunity is fleeting, we don't have time to notify the imperial court, so we will send troops to meet Han Zong in the name of the general!" ”

Guan Ping scratched his head, and when he saw that everyone supported attacking Dongwu, he gradually became a little moved.

"That's good, we will send troops under the banner of helping Eastern Wu quell the rebellion and protecting Sun Deng, and we must capture Sun Deng alive - uh, if he dies, he will take Pan Zhang's top bag, and Sun Quan will not only have this one son."

He saw Shi Bao, who was sitting at the bottom, looking thoughtful, knocked on the table and asked, "Zhongrong, what are you thinking?" ”

Shi Bao showed strong military talent in the previous battles, his strategy was not lost to Avanti, and he had an excellent overall view, and he was extremely brave in battle.

He once suggested that Guan Yinping did not have to stick to Wuguan in order to lengthen the supply line of the Wei army, this move really gained a great effect, in the repeated battle for Wuguan, the Wei army was exhausted because the supply line was too long, and even Cao Zhen's army was forced to squat in the pass, creating excellent combat conditions for Zhao Hao.

Therefore, Guan Ping is still looking forward to hearing Shi Bao's opinion this time.

Shi Bao had been in a fugue just now, and when he heard Guan Ping calling him, he sat up straight and said, "The general forgives the sin, and the last general also thinks that this battle must be fought, and it must be fought, but there is no need to directly catch Sun Deng and let him go back to Dongwu, which is more beneficial to us." ”

"Uh, how so?"

Shi Bao was a little nervous, he took a deep breath, and said eloquently: "Sun Deng's status in the court is not low, and he is very favored by those courtiers in Jiangdong.

This defeat, he will definitely lose his reputation, and the eldest princess who has a good relationship with the champion Hou will definitely not let go of the opportunity to secretly attack her brother, and Sun Deng will definitely not be captured, and will choose to fight to the death with the eldest princess to the end.

Whoever wins or loses either of them will be in our great favor. ”

Everyone looked solemn, and when they heard Shi Bao say this, they all nodded in unison.

"That's right!" Guan Ping slapped his thigh and said, "That's right, that eldest princess has been robbed of military power, and she will definitely not give up with Sun Deng, this ...... God help me. ”

Shen Tanle patted Shi Bao's shoulder and said, "Zhongrong Laozi is brave and strategic, and the Tao Strategy in this belly really has the shadow of the champion Hou, given time, uh......"

Shi Bao scratched his head and said: "Champion Hou is much younger than me, I thought I would never meet a talent, but I didn't expect that in front of Champion Hou, my ability is nothing."

If the champion Hou is like this again, presumably his methods will be even more fierce and vicious, maybe he can directly uproot Dongwu, which is what I will never do. ”

Everyone laughed together, and there was not the slightest objection to this.

Guan Ping's heart moved, and said: "In this case, Zhong Rong, how about I order you to be the vanguard in this battle?" ”

"Me?" Shi Bao thought that he had misheard, although he was active in the Battle of Wuguan, he was not confident enough to be able to suppress Shen Tan and Meng Da.

And this battle is to fight the prince of the enemy country, this is the credit of the sky, can it really be his turn?

"Ahem, what's wrong with this, this strategy is what you think, so naturally you have to implement it.

Besides, what kind of thing is the pseudo-prince of Eastern Wu, if we send out the whole army, won't it give him face? Shen Tan snorted, "I also agree to let Zhong Rong go, Zhong Rong, don't let me down!" ”

Shi Bao's blood boiled with excitement, he knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for for a long time had finally come, and it was finally time to show his skills so that the world would know his name.

Just do it, Xiangyang City's huge war machine is in motion,

Guan Ping told the whole city, saying that the pseudo-prince of Dongwu spread rumors and was the enemy of the Han Dynasty, which had caused public anger in their country.

Guan Ping said that if Sun Deng was caught, he would definitely go to the imperial court and greatly reduce or exempt this year's commercial tax in recognition of the great contributions made by the merchants to the Han army.

As soon as these words came out, those mercenary Jingzhou businessmen suddenly became as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, asking for money for money, grain for food, and even using their own dog heads to offer advice.

In their opinion, Sun Deng is simply a golden word of yellow and clear, full of attractive luster and aroma.

"Since you want to turn your face with Soochow, it's better to turn it over thoroughly." Avanti sneered and said, "Even if Sun Deng is let go, he must not be allowed to return to Jianye so easily."

Champion Hou has been thinking about winning the entire territory of Jingzhou before, and taking advantage of this opportunity, we should start. ”

Guan Ping nodded heavily, but soon fell into indecision again.

"I think that if there is such a thing as an all-out war, should we ask the imperial court first?"

"Of course...... We can fight while asking for instructions, and I believe that the court will definitely stand on our side. If something suddenly happens at this time, the court will not blame us for our rash actions. ”

Among the people present, he was the only one who knew that Cao Wei's Jiangxia Taishou Wenpin had fully fallen to Zhao Hao.

But now that Zhao Hao has defeated Cao Wei's main force in a row, his prestige is shocking, and Wen Ping has begun to be a little anxious.

Zhang Dang, the spy king beside him, said that Wen Ping was very anxious now, and he couldn't wait for a good opportunity to intervene in this war and add a little bargaining chip to his future service to Ji Han.

And now, it's his best chance.

Compared with Shi Bao, who is good at strategy, Avanti is better at all kinds of conspiracies, which is also an important reason why Zhao Hao let him get in touch with some school affairs before, and let Zhang dare to contact him one-way.

There is no need to talk to Guan Ping in detail, a big net of conspiracy has been rapidly opened in Avanti's mind, and he secretly thinks about how desperate Sun Deng, who has always wanted to ally with Cao Wei, should have when he found out that Wen Ping was actually his enemy......
