Although Liu Heimin's courage is not as good as Huang Zhong, he is much stronger than ordinary soldiers. Back then, Shi Jin could scatter more than a dozen enemy soldiers with a stick, and Liu Heimin was of course no exception, he was even more brave than Shi Jin.

Speaking of Shi Jin, I have to insert a digression, Shi Jin has been living in Shu County since he was seized by Zhang Yi. Shi Jin is a bold person, and the reason why he was seized was to save Li Jin. Such behavior is indeed a violation of military rules, but in the eyes of many people, it is a righteous act. A lot of people come here to make friends, and who doesn't want a friend who can save their lives?

So Shi Jin soon became the biggest strong man in Shu County, the original Zhou family, the biggest strong man in Shu County, gradually declined because of Zhou Yu's death, and there were basically not many people in the lineage, if it weren't for Xiao Qiao's son who still raised Zhou Yu's son, these heroes in Shu County might be able to swallow the Zhou family, and for the sake of Lu Su's face, the Zhou family could still survive in Shu County.

Shi Jin has a lot of friends, this one helps and that one helps, and many people in the army, especially Di Qing, Li Jin, and Li Bao, basically go to Shi Jin's house to visit when they pass by Shu County. Shi Jin was hard backstage and had many friends, and the heroes of Shu County saw that it was profitable and quickly moved closer. Shi Jin also took the opportunity to start the dart business, helping merchants or the government and the army to escort some materials and silver, and gradually became the richest businessman in Shu County, and the business involved the six counties of Jiangdong (that is, the entire state of Yangzhou).

Of course, many people found Shi Jin to be lobbyists for other princes, and wanted Shi Jin to take refuge in the past. Shi Jin did not agree, nor did he report to the government, this is a private matter, and the best thing to say is that he came to hire him, Cao Cao even used the edict of the Son of Heaven, which was also rejected by Shi Jin.

After the digression was over, he talked about Liu Heimin, and he quickly occupied the city gate with a hundred and ten people and opened the city gate.

Outside the city gate is the moat, but the moat of Gangneung is connected to the river, Li Bao's army has already sent more than a dozen grasshopper boats, laid wooden planks on the boats, built more than a dozen temporary bridges, and soon rushed through the moat and killed into Gangneung City.

The soldiers in Gangneung Castle are not elite, and they have not fought in many years. Most of the troops that Cai Mao fought before were burned by a fire in Chibi. Those are the elite soldiers who suppressed the four counties of Jingnan, huh! Elite soldiers in a relatively sense. These elite soldiers are just what Jingzhou thinks they are, and compared with Zhang Yi's soldiers, they are not a little worse, or the most ordinary soldiers are more elite than them.

This is a battle of unequal strength, and it is also the norm in history. Qin annihilated the Six Kingdoms, Chu and Han fought for hegemony, the Three Kingdoms were like this, the Five Hu Chaohua was like this, and the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties were all like this, wars have always been strong on one side and weak on the other, if not, there can be no war at all, wars have always been strong and want to conquer the weak.

This time is no exception, Zhang Yi is attacking the weak with the strong, and he is ruthless. Before dawn, Zhang Yi pacified the entire Jiangling, sealed the supplies and ordnance, and Zhang Yi called Di Qing and Liu Heimin, as well as Li Bao of the naval army.

Everyone thought that Zhang Yi was going to say some strategies for attacking Xiangyang, but they didn't expect that Zhang Yi would surprise them as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Jiangling is down, and the gateway to Shuzhong is opened!"

Liu Heimin was not accustomed to Zhang Yi's thinking, and immediately asked, "Lord, aren't we going to attack Liu Biao?" Now to fight Yizhou, the troops will be divided into two roads, and fighting on two fronts is a taboo for soldiers! ”

Everyone didn't expect Liu Heimin to say this, Di Qing and Li Bao are all Zhang Yi's old subordinates, Pang Tong has always followed Zhang Yi, and he is used to Zhang Yi's always being used to forward-looking arrangements. Naturally, Zhang Yi couldn't explain this matter by himself, so Pang Tong, the strategist who accompanied the army, stood up.

"General Liu's concern is very reasonable."

Liu Heimin saw Pang Tong explaining, and hurriedly said a little embarrassed: "I'm still just a captain." ”

Pang Tong smiled and said, "General Liu doesn't need to be modest, you are still a lieutenant and have not been promoted." But after today, you'll be a general! ”

Liu Heimin was stunned, he was promoted? Aren't they all promoted after the war? Instead, it is still three levels in a row.

Pang Tong said: "Because the lord wants you to lead the team to capture Yiling and explore the road into Shu." ”

Liu Heimin was stunned, "Do you want to enter Shu?" ”

Pang Tong said with a smile: "General Liu, you will be stationed in Yiling in the next few years!" ”

"Don't you need me to attack Liu Biao?" Liu Heimin asked.

"General Liu, you have already made two great contributions in a row, can you leave some credit for others?" Pang Tong said jokingly.

Liu Hei was stunned for a moment, but he thought about it. He defeated Huang Zhong, captured Jiangling, and was promoted three levels in a row, and there will definitely be many people who are jealous of him. He has a lot of cleverness, and he knows that it's time to keep his eyes dirty. "I'm going to Yiling, I don't know what the lord can explain?"

Zhang Yi said at this time: "After arriving in Yiling, you don't need to show much military strength, you just need to be stationed normally." However, I want you to secretly send people to explore the road into Shu, and send more scouts to go deep into Shu, draw the road and soil, and understand where to garrison and where to garrison. ”

Liu Heimin said in embarrassment: "Lord, if you check the terrain and the enemy's situation, I don't have any problem, but drawing is not something we can complete." ”

Zhang Yi nodded, the high-end skill of drawing a map is really not something that anyone can master. However, Zhang Yi was prepared, he said: "I will take some pictures for you, and you can take them with you when you go to see the road." ”

Liu Heimin was relieved at this time, he had nothing to say.

Di Qing saw that Liu Heimin had no problem, so he spoke: "Lord, since we have taken Jiangling, then we should prepare for war and attack Xiangyang, right?" ”

Zhang Yi nodded, "Yes, but the pharmacist has already restrained the soldiers and horses of Xiangyang, and tomorrow we will set off to the north and attack Xiangyang directly." ”

Liu Heimin looked at Zhang Yi, his eyes showed eagerness, he really wanted to follow Zhang Yi to Xiangyang. But it's a pity that he can only go to Yiling.

Zhang Yi continued: "Li Bao, you stay and garrison Jiangling, and then transport supplies over to make Jiangling the largest strategic location in Jingzhou. ”

"No!"

"Di Qing, tomorrow you will be the pioneer, go to Xiangyang first!"

"No!"

"Promote Liu Heimin to a partial general, and lead 3,000 men and horses to Yiling!"

"No!"

After Zhang Yi gave the order, he also hurried to rest, many of the Cai family guarding Jiangling were killed during the siege, and those who did not die were basically arrested. So Zhang Yi can rest assured that he will hand over this place to Li Bao, and he will personally lead the troops to Xiangyang! He is going to catch all the talents in Xiangyang!
