Although the official position of the governor of the navy is also a miscellaneous general, he is the head of one party, and the navy of the entire river and water area is under the control of Li Baolai. With Zhang Yi's attitude towards the navy, after Li entered the navy, his status was determined not to be lower than Zhang Shun, and he would not stay in Wu County for several years.

The five of them discussed and agreed, and the next day they quickly marched to Changsha. Changsha is actually Linxiang County, China's place names often have several names, the capital of Changsha County, Linxiang, many people say Linxiang, basically Changsha, after a series of changes, Linxiang later gradually called Changsha. Just like we said Xuchang before, in fact, it was called Xu County in this era, and after the imperial court moved here, it could be called Xudu, and Xuchang was just the name of later generations.

Linxiang is located in the middle of Changsha County, far away from Xiajun, and Xiajun needs to pass through Luo County to go to Linxiang. Luo County does not have many soldiers and horses now, and Huang Zhong took all the soldiers and horses of Luo County away in order to go back to defend Linxiang. Fu Youde stopped in Luo County to protect the supply route for the four of them.

Zhang Yi's entire supply line was carried out in the river and its tributaries, mainly in three supply areas, one was Xiangyang, one was Jiangling, and the other was Luoxian. These three places are all relying on the river and the Han River, and they are also Zhang Yi's three battlefields now. The war in Jiangling has not stopped, and Li Bao, Liu Heimin and others have to attack the county seat under Jiangling. Yiling is not the westernmost county of Jiangling, there are Zigui and Wu counties further west than Yiling, and the reason why Zhang Yi let Liu Heimin be stationed in Yiling is because the road to Zigui and Wu County is too difficult to walk, and the road needs to be explored before attacking the past.

After taking Luo County, Fu Youde stayed with the extra soldiers, and the other four people went directly south with 20,000 people, all the way to Linxiang along the Xiangshui.

In Linxiang City, Huang Zhong stood on the city wall, looking at the enemy army besieging the city, and his face became solemn. The enemy has at least 10,000 or 20,000, and in Linxiang City, there are only about 4,000, and most of them are soldiers. Now that the enemy is besieging the city, as long as the siege equipment is built, it is difficult for Linxiang to defend. Huang Zhong knew the elite of the enemy's soldiers, so the current form made him feel a little frightened.

Huang Zhong is known for charging into battle, and he is not outstanding in strategy, and he has no good way to face such a predicament. Although Linxiang belongs to the big city, it is much worse than the real big city, and it can only be regarded as a medium-sized city.

"General, too guarded, please!" A soldier walked up behind Huang Zhong and said.

Huang Zhong frowned, then nodded.

Changsha Taishou is called Han Xuan, and since Liu Qi pacified Zhang Xian, Liu Biao has not appointed Taishou. In this private case, you can appoint a taishou at will, and it is too common for several taishou to appear in a county. Han Xuan was not appointed by Liu Biao, but by Cao Cao. Not only Han Xuan, but also Wuling Taishou Jin Xuan, Guiyang Taishou Zhao Fan, and Lingling Taishou Liu Du, these are all officials appointed by Cao Cao.

Cao Cao had always tried to appoint officials from all over the place, often using this way to cause chaos among other princes, and Zhang Yi was rarely disgusted by Cao Cao. Who let Cao Cao now control the Han Emperor? As long as the princes recognized the Han family, they would inevitably be so restrained. Liu Biao's control over Jing Nan was too weak, and Han Xuan and the four of them were respectful to him, so Liu Biao acquiesced, he didn't want to tear his face with Cao Cao.

Han Xuan still has some ability, he can be left and right between Cao Cao and Liu Biao, and he is not annoying, which is also a skill.

But Huang Zhong is not very interested in Han Xuan, Han Xuan is indeed very good in political affairs, but he is afraid of war. In the era of peace, he may be called a minister, but in the troubled times, he can only be a grass on the wall. Han Xuan's vacillation made Huang Zhong very dissatisfied, but there was no way, he belonged to Changsha County, and if Taishou wanted to see him, he could only go to see him.

Han Xuanqi, like other celebrities, looks like a jade tree in the wind. Huang Zhong came to the Taishou Mansion and saw Han Xuan: "Meet the Taishou!" ”

Han Xuan's courage was relatively small, knowing that the outside of the city was surrounded by a large army, he had been terrified, "General Huang, the army outside the city is besieging the city, can the general have a strategy to break the enemy?" ”

Huang Zhong shook his head and said, "The soldiers outside the city are elite, and I am afraid that they will not be able to win when they go out to attack at night." The last general once attacked the enemy camp at night, and the enemy reacted quickly. Just now the last general observed the camp again, and found that these soldiers were not far behind......"

Han Xuan interrupted Huang Zhong: "In other words, General Huang is not sure of victory?" ”

Huang Zhong nodded, he really didn't have the certainty of victory.

Han Xuan said: "Since there is no certainty of victory, how about surrendering in Kaesong?" ”

When Huang Zhong heard this, he immediately became furious: "Why did Taishou say this? At this time of existential crisis, what is the reason why he wants to surrender to the enemy but is too loyal to the monarch to repay the lord? ”

Han Xuan smiled bitterly: "If there is injustice today, there are many princes, and the Han family has already existed in name only." If it weren't for the 400 years of prestige of the Han family, the princes would definitely be kings, where would they obey people's orders? ”

Huang Zhong said: "Everyone in the world admires loyalty, if Taishou surrenders easily, I don't think Zhang Yi will appreciate people who surrender casually, right?" “

Han Xuan also knew that what Huang Zhong said made sense, but he had his own thoughts: "During Zhang Yi's expedition, many people died, and I don't want to be next!" General Huang: Do you want to be next? ”

Huang Zhong tilted his head, "It's just death, what's there to be afraid of?" ”

Huang Zhong is indeed not afraid of death! But Han Xuan was afraid! He waved his hand and said, "In this case, everything in the city will be handed over to General Huang!" ”

After Huang Zhong left, he immediately took over all the city defenses of Linxiang and began to prepare for defense.

But Han Xuan closed his house tightly and didn't see anyone, he didn't want to wait for the enemy to enter the city, thinking that he was helping Huang Zhong, in this troubled world, he just wanted to save his life.

The four men outside the city set up camp in an orderly manner, and then built siege equipment. Linxiang is close to Xiangshui, the water of the moat is introduced from the Xiangshui, if you want to approach the city wall, you must cross the moat, cross the moat to use the bridge car, no bridge car can only use the mound. It was too time-consuming to use the mound, so the four of them chose the bridge car, and as long as the bridge car was built, they could carry out the siege.

Huang Zhong saw that the enemy camp was constantly building siege equipment, and the worry in his heart continued to increase. He called his lieutenant: "You must watch the city and don't let anything happen in the city." ”

The adjutant general asked, "General, are you afraid of guarding too much?" ”

Huang Zhong nodded, "That's true, if Han Xuan makes up his mind to surrender, we have to be on guard!" ”

The adjutant nodded and said, "I'll keep an eye on the Taishou Mansion." ”
