Yang Xi prepared this cannon, but it was used to siege the city, and the effect was much better than that of a stone thrower.

At the end of the first month, the recruits were trained again, but Yang Xi did not let these 9,000 people go to the battlefield, but let them replace Mao Luan's corps and guard Wuchang.

The Maoluan Corps and the Zhou Tai Corps, which originally guarded the border between Wuchang and Exian, joined 15,000 people and began an expedition together with Yang Xi.

Yang Xixizheng does not need to send documents and reports to anyone.

Who Cao Cao wants to recruit, and he has to ask the young master behind, but Yang Xi has no reason.

His reasons were, first, that Liu Biao had beaten me. Second, I need to be strategic.

So the two corps were combined into the Western Group Army, and Yang Xi considered himself the commander-in-chief.

On the first day of the first month of February, the Zhengxi Group Army boarded the ship from Chenhe Port, with 10 giant ships and 100 Chenhe ships transporting personnel and materials, as well as grain and grass, and was escorted by the eight-pound governor's fleet and the giant wave fleet.

On the first day of the second lunar month, there was an article by Yang Xi, called the President's Declaration, to the effect that it was as follows.

Because of Liu Biao in Jingzhou, when my Chenhe Chamber of Commerce was invaded by other places, he took advantage of the fire to rob and attacked me regardless of morality. Although my Chenhe Chamber of Commerce has repeatedly counterattacked and repelled it, my heart will not die. In order to defend the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber of Commerce decided to send troops to attack Jingzhou on the first day of February.

As soon as the newspaper came out, it did not shock the world.

But where I could read the newspaper, I quickly received the news.

When Liu Biao saw the newspaper, the battle had already begun.

By the time Cao Cao saw the newspaper, the battle was over.

Shiwuling County Taishou is Jin Xuan, Ziyuan Ji, Jingzhao people, and has a son Jin Yi. He served as the Huangmen Shilang, the successive official Bai Lang, the Zhonglang General and other official positions, and finally became the Wuling Taishou of Jingzhou.

After Jin Xuan was the minister of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Jin Riyan, he was regarded as a person with a background.

The northernmost part of Wuling County is Xiaoling County, and there is a place in Xiaoling County that is the mouth of the Youjiang River, and after Liu Bei got Jingzhou, he stationed troops with him, but now, it is estimated that Liu Bei does not even have the opportunity to travel to the mouth of the Youjiang River.

The Wuyi fleet, escorted by the giant wave fleet, went straight up the Yangtze River, passed through Changsha County, and went straight to Xiaoling, the northernmost part of Wuling County.

The first thing Yang Xi wants to take is here, take Xiaoling, block Liu Biaojun from the west, and the following section of the Yangtze River is Yang Xi's territory.

Why? Changsha is too guarded Zhang Zhongjing Zhang Zhongjing, how many years has he been in the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce, this is the biggest undercover agent.

Nowadays, Changsha County, with rapid economic development, has the support of the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce, and the members of the Chamber of Commerce in Changsha County reached 7,203 at the end of the year.

This is a county adjacent to Exian and Wuchang, which has been infiltrated for more than ten years.

But it was said that the guard of Xiaoling County was Gong Zhi, the general under the Golden Rotation Tent, this person is talented, but he is a little timid, Yang Xi quietly landed in the section of the Xiaoling River, Gong Zhi finally found out.

As soon as he heard that Yang Xi led 15,000 soldiers and horses to attack, where did he dare to fight, he directly closed the city gate and prepared to defend it. He is also not qualified to fight, only 5,000 soldiers and horses, not enough to cover up and kill back and forth.

Yang Xi went down to the village thirty miles south of Xiaoling, and the anti-Jinxuan led troops from south to north to support.

Yang Xi camped and did not go to battle, but only sent a letter of persuasion to surrender, and waited for three days, but did not hear back.

Zhou Taidao: "Commander-in-chief, why don't you just bombard his city wall with a bombardment of the sky, and take it directly, it won't be troublesome." ”

Yang Xi said: "Don't move the cannon, pay attention to the protection of cultural relics." ”

"What? Protecting cultural relics? Zhou Tai didn't understand.

If he can understand it, he'll be ghostly.

Yang Xidao: "It's nothing, that is, this city wall has been repaired for so many years, it is the hard work of the people, and it cannot be repaired if it is damaged. ”

Mao Luan glanced at Zhou Tai and said: "Youping, don't get involved, Gongzi is encircling the point to send reinforcements, besieging Xiaoling, Jin Xuan will definitely come to the rescue, why did Gongzi put so many flying balls, isn't it just to check the enemy's movements in order to ambush." ”

Zhou Tai said with a smile: "So that's the case, then I'll wait, I haven't fought for too long, I'm rusty, my son wants me to guard Wuchang every time, Wuchang's periphery is layered, we are also known as the overlord of the Yangtze River, who dares to attack, I can suffocate to death in the past few years." ”

Yang Xi said: "This time it depends on your performance, don't say I didn't give you a chance, if you can kill Jin Xuan this time, I will give you a great credit." Don't ask me to do it myself. ”

Zhou Tai patted his chest and said: "Childe, no, don't worry, commander-in-chief, give me a chance to fight against Jin Xuan, and I will definitely send his head." ”

"Okay, it's a deal!"

Here is talking about the beheading, the generals on the side of Jin Xuan are no longer possessed, some advocate surrendering, some advocate waiting for reinforcements, some advocate attacking, Yun Yangxi is far away, his army will be lacking, and he can take the opportunity to attack it.

The Lord is afraid of things, and whoever comes to fight will fall.

Advocate waiting for reinforcements without brains, Xiaoling is surrounded, who will come to help. Liu Biao has been beaten by Yang Xi several times, where are there still many reinforcements to come to aid here, unless Liu Beijun from Xinye is transferred. Jiangxia's Liu Qi didn't dare to be transferred, in case the Jiangxia army was transferred, Yang Xi would kill Nanyang County from Jiangxia.

Jin Xuan himself advocated attacking, the opponent had 15,000 soldiers and horses, and he also had 10,000, leaving 2,000 to defend the city, and 8,000 to attack.

If you defeat Yang Xi and break this myth of undefeated, then your reputation will definitely rise.

It's exciting to think about.

Xiangyang, Liufu.

Liu Biao finally received the urgent paperwork, and Yang Xi attacked Jingzhou.

Liu Biao went berserk, the first thing is, of course, to go to the imperial court, no matter who controls the imperial court, you have to seek public opinion support first.

Could it be that Cao Cao is willing to see Yang Xi become big and eat the whole of Jingzhou?

Cao Cao will not, Cao Cao will at least issue an edict to the surrounding counties in the name of the emperor to crusade against Yang Xi and the thief, because he has no name.

Secondly, Cao Cao will not sit back and wait for Yang Xi to grow, at least he will have a piece of the pie, or step up the attack on the Yuan family to unify the north, or temporarily abandon the Yuan family to take Nanyang County, at least grab Xinye.

Wenpin, Kuai Qi and other civilian and military generals were urgently convened by Liu Biao to discuss the military.

Kuai Qi said: "Wuling County is attacked, the general will be saved, but Liu Beijun is fighting Cao in Xinye, Xiangyang currently only has 30,000 soldiers and horses, in case Liu Beijun retreats, wouldn't it be dangerous to transfer all of them to Xiangyang?" It is only possible to urgently transfer 10,000 soldiers and horses to the south to rescue, and then transfer Changsha, Lingling, and Guiyang soldiers and horses to rescue Wuling, surround and annihilate them! ”

Liu Biao was about to follow this, but a young general came out of the army, with a mighty figure, who was a young man.

Wen Ping is actually not literate, don't think that the surname Wen is a literati.

After Wen Ping later surrendered to Cao, he was one of Cao Cao's main generals against Guan Yu, and later resisted Sun Quan, often winning more with less, and was Mr. Weimeng.

But at this time, Wenpin was still young and his level was not high, but he also had the courage to stand up and speak.

"General, the other army has a ship, guarding the Yangtze River, if the war is unfavorable, you can take a boat, but I have no sailors, so I can't pursue. The last general suggested that only the three counties of Changsha, Lingling, and Guiyang should be rescued by letters, and the soldiers and horses of Xiangyang should be directly attacked in Exian. ”

Wen Ping's idea was good, but Liu Biao was worried that once Wuling was captured, he would lose four counties, and the risk would be too great, so he did not accept it.

Of course, it is useless to adopt, they don't know that Changsha County has nothing to do with them, and they don't know how terrifying Yang Xi's real strength is.

In the end, Liu Biao ordered Kuai Qi to be the governor, Han Xuan to be the general, Wen Ping as the vanguard, led 10,000 troops to Wuling, and Cai Mao, the governor of Nanjun County, was responsible for transporting troops across the Yangtze River, rescuing Jin Xuan, and hurrying to send the three counties south of the Yangtze River to gather troops to encircle and suppress Yang Xi.
