Liu Zhang's good words were exhausted, Wang Rui just refused to allow it on the grounds of the emperor's safety, and the angry Sun Jian jumped to his feet, if it wasn't for Liu Zhang's persuasion, he would have ordered the siege of the city! Liu Zhang saw that he couldn't convince Wang Rui, so he had to say to Sun Jian: "Duke Wentai, Wang Tingshi also has his difficulties, and we are inconvenient for strong people to make it difficult, but the lack of food for the soldiers under Duke Wentai is urgent!" It's not as good as this, the grain and grass brought by this expedition is very sufficient, and it should be enough to meet the needs of our two armies all the way, so half of it will be given to Wentai Gong in the next one, which is good! ”

Sun Jian's main willingness to attack the city is that he is indeed short of food, and secondly, he hates Wang Rui's disrespectful words to Xiang, seeing that Liu Zhang is willing to help, he was immediately overjoyed, and said: "Ji Yu is willing to help me, I thank you on behalf of the general of the three armies!" ”

Liu Zhang hurriedly stopped and said, "You and I are all state affairs, why divide each other!" ”

Sun Jian said: "Ji Yunian has this insight when he is weak, I admire it!" On the other hand, Wang Rui is young! I am so ashamed to be in the same palace as him for such a reckless disregard of state affairs! ”

Sun Ce was young and vigorous, and seeing that his father had suffered a lot of insults, he was not at odds in his heart, and said: "Father, you can't just let go of Wang Rui's husband, as long as my father says a word, the child will immediately lead my Changsha soldiers to fight Xiangyang City and capture Wang Rui's husband under his father's account!" ”

The little Sun Quan said: "Big brother can't, if my father and Wang Tingshi are in the same room, it will only make the relatives painful and the enemies happy!" Now the first thief of my Han is Dong Rebellious, and the rest are secondary! That Wang Rui is so vain about the prestige of the court, the saint can clearly defend the loyalty and treachery, and after we rescue the saint, the saint will naturally fall to him! Why should we bury the lives of my Changsha soldiers and damage my father's reputation under this Xiangyang City? ”

Sun Jian waved his hand fiercely and said: "Zhongmou's words are reasonable, hmph, this old horseman, I will join him in the future, and let the emperor behead him all over the house, so as to eliminate my hatred!" ”

After that, the hateful ordered the troops to be withdrawn.

Wang Rui, who was on the city wall, breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw Sun Jian retreating, and he said goodbye to Liu Zhang happily.

Seeing that there was no need to fight, the defenders cheered in unison, and Sun Jian, Liu Zhang and others left in the "farewell" of the defenders.

When he came to the riverside, Liu Zhang immediately ordered half of the stored grain to be handed over to Sun Jian, which made Sun Jian very grateful. After some courtesy, Sun Jian's fleet took the lead, looking at the orderly Sun Jian's fleet, Liu Zhang's brows furrowed, if he wants to unify the world, there will be a battle with Sun in the future, in the face of Dong Zhuo, who can fight on land, that guy has no temper, and even uses his own hand to pull the cage Sun Jian, he doesn't have much confidence, not to mention that the main battlefield with Sun Jian in the future is a place with a dense water network, that is the main battlefield with Sun Jian!

"I hope Gan Ning can recruit an elite navy for himself!" Liu Zhang secretly asked God.

Liu Zhang took Xun You and others to board Sun Jian's boat, and humbly asked him for advice on the art of war, mainly the method of water warfare (of course, this move is to be able to know oneself and the enemy)! Because Liu Zhang relieved the danger of his food and grass, and because he was bold, Sun Jian did not hide his selfishness at all, and brought his combat experience on land and water together, which benefited Liu Zhang and others a lot.

At this moment, the relationship between the Liu and Sun families is good, most of the Sun family regard Liu Zhang's family as friends, only the little Sun Quan feels inappropriate, and admonishes his father several times to be defensive, but Sun Jian does not care, which makes him very uneasy, at a young age, he keenly feels that the big man is about to run out, and then it will be a situation of hegemony, once it is in that environment, today's friends are likely to be tomorrow's enemies, if you let the other party know your own reality, it is undoubtedly a very dangerous thing!

The river channel narrowed from Xinye upwards, and it was okay to allow small boats, but large warships were in danger of running aground, so Sun Jian and Liu Zhang had to leave the boat in Xinye on foot.

In the past two days, under the circumstance that Liu Zhang deliberately agreed, Sun Jian and him were like a pair of old friends, but when Sun Jian proposed to go together, Liu Zhang politely refused. The first thing he had to do on this trip was to visit Xun Yu, he understood that one monk had water to drink, and two monks had no water to drink, and he didn't want to visit Xun Yu by himself! Therefore, he panicked about Sun Jian, saying that he still had a follow-up force that had not yet arrived, and he decided to stay in Xinye for two days, and after the follow-up troops arrived, he set off to chase Sun Jian. Sun Jian was anxious for battle, and ordered the sailors to sail the ship back to Changsha and then went north with an army of 8,000 without stopping.

Of course, Liu Yan didn't send reinforcements to Liu Zhang, but he still had a team of troops and horses to mobilize, and he felt at ease that he was not lying to Sun Jian.

Liu Zhang set up camp in a dangerous place five miles west of Xinye City, and ordered people to go into the city to buy some food, especially meat, to replenish the physical strength of the soldiers.

Liu Zhang immediately summoned a clever chief from the pro-guard army, told him where the lion's head peak was, and wrote a letter, asking him to take his men to summon Manzhong and others to lead the troops to the sour jujube, as for the women and children in the village, those who were willing to leave sent some soldiers to escort them to Xinye, and went to Yizhou by boat. If you don't want to leave, you can send gold and silver and let it go.

Xu Chu felt that the Central Plains was in turmoil and that Xujia Village was in a terrible situation, and he was worried that Xujia Village would be devastated by the war and that his relatives and friends would be harmed, so he asked Liu Zhang to take a leave of absence for a month, and after he connected his relatives and friends to Xinye, he would immediately go north to Huihe.

What can this bodyguard do if he leaves, in case that kid Lu Bu calls, he has to rely on him and Dian Wei, right? Therefore, Liu Zhang said to him: "Zhongkang's concerns are very reasonable, I shouldn't have refused, but the big war is coming, I can't leave Zhongkang!" He immediately proposed to send 20 people to Xujia Village to take Xu Chu's family back to Yizhou, and those who were willing to leave in the village would go with them, and their own government would settle their fields and properties after arriving in Yizhou.

Xu Zhu saw that Yin Yong had arranged for the soldiers to pick him up, so he nodded and agreed.

Two days later, the soldiers' physical strength had recovered, and Liu Zhang ordered 500 soldiers to be left to guard the warship, and after receiving the women and children of Shishoufeng and the Xu family, the army was mobilized.

When I didn't want to pass through Nanyang, I saw that the city wall was dilapidated, mottled with blood, and countless corpses were floating in the moat......

When the people who cleaned their homes saw the arrival of the army, they fled in all directions crying and shouting as if they had seen the king of Hades, and many people did not even dare to return to their homes in the city, and fled directly into the mountains and forests.
