readx; When Liu Qi led 500 guards to Linxiang Ferry, the battle here was already over. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Gong Qiu said that he and more than 1,000 soldiers guarded the ferry, so that Shi A's cavalry of more than 5,000 people stopped, and even lost more than 1,000 cavalry, and also sacrificed Zhang Hu, the cavalry commander of the Kuai clan.

When Shi Ah arranged for the soldiers to collect these warriors, they also found that they couldn't break the hands of the Jiangdong soldiers holding the weapons, which made Shi A sigh: "There are so many dead soldiers in Jiangdong!" If the eldest brother can have these dead soldiers, why worry about the big thing! ”

Liu Qi patted him on the shoulder and said, "Third brother, don't be so depressed, sooner or later." ”

"Big brother, my mistake in this battle caused General Zhang Hu to die in battle, and I also lost more than 1,000 elites. Willing to be punished..."Shi A blamed himself for the death of the soldiers and Zhang Hu, "and let Zu Mao escape!" ”

"It's not right for the third brother to think like this, imagine who hasn't made a mistake?" Liu Qi pretended to be displeased and said: "What's more, in the eyes of the eldest brother, the third brother, you have done a good job." The death of General Zhang and the escape of Zu Mao are not you, we didn't expect Jiangdong Cheng Pu to be able to ferry here to pick him up so quickly. The third brother doesn't have to blame himself too much. ”

"Okay, the third brother will first collect this admirable general's revenge." Liu Qi looked at the other side of the Xiangjiang River from afar and said, "After a short rest, cross the river to besiege Linxiang City!" ”

"Yes!"

While the two were talking, a hazy boat suddenly floated on the river, and a person on the boat isolated the bow of the boat, and Cai and Zhang Yuner were tied together in tattered clothes and with a deplorable face. Behind the man were two small boats with no less than twenty or thirty soldiers, and the word "Sun" was written on the hazy flag.

Liu Qi's pupils shrank, and he shouted loudly: "The whole army is on alert!" ”

Shi Ah suddenly reacted, and an arrow step blocked in front of Liu Qi, fully guarded. The other sergeants also discovered the boats on the river, and the formation was lined up in the blink of an eye, and the group surrounded Liu Qi and Shi A in the heart. The guards brought by Liu Qi were even more bent and arrowed, and the arrows were on the string, just waiting for Liu Qi to give an order, and the future people would shoot through.

The man standing on the ship saw that the enemy troops who were still scattered just now waited for him in the blink of an eye, his scalp couldn't help tingling, and cold sweat was faintly about to flow out of the cold wind, and he sighed in his heart: Such a well-trained and forbidden army, the lord and they are not unjustly defeated.

However, he did not forget the purpose of coming here, and while asking the soldiers to raise the white flag, he said loudly: "We have no other intentions, we just want to see the commander of your army and discuss something!" ”

This man is neither humble nor arrogant, neither of surrender nor of peace talks. He also pointed to the soldiers around him who were not equipped with weapons and other weapons, and the meaning was self-evident.

However, it looks really weird that he didn't put down the "Sun" flag.

Liu Qi looked at the person who came dressed as a scribe, frowned, and shouted loudly: "Who is coming, what do you want to see this general?" ”

"The contemptible person came to the rank of Xiang Huan Bo Huan, and asked to see the general just to exchange for the corpse of my lord." Huan stepped down and bowed, and then straightened the way.

"Liu... Big... Big boy save me! Cai He couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw Liu Qi waiting on the shore from afar, and almost called out Liu Qi's name, as if he was grabbing the last straw, "Help me!" Big boy save me! ”

Zhang Yun saw Liu Qi at a glance, his tired expression lit up, and then it was dark, staring coldly at Cai He, who looked like a clown.

Cai He didn't notice it, Liu Qi's unresponsive expression made him anxious in his heart, and said to Zhang Yun: "Zhang Yun, call together!" As long as the eldest prince finds us, we will be saved! ”

In his eyes, Liu Qi would definitely save him, Zhang Yun glanced to the side and no longer paid attention to Cai He. Cai He's expression changed, and he glared angrily: "Zhang Yun! You are so bold, you dare not listen to my words! I don't want to think about who raised your family......"

Zhang Yun had no choice but to stand up, but he didn't speak, and glanced at the shore from a distance.

Liu Qi smiled coldly, turned a blind eye to Cai He's clown behavior, and said, "Mr. Bo Xuan thinks that this waste can be exchanged for Sun Jian's corpse?" It's too much of an overestimation of his value. ”

Huan Jie, Cai He, and when they heard this, their colors suddenly changed. Cai He opened his mouth and was about to scold, thinking about his situation, he suddenly became stunned, so he had to stare at Liu Qi with hatred, as if he wanted to eat Liu Qi alive.

Huan Jie smiled bitterly and replied, "How about adding Linxiang?" ”

"Linxiang was originally the land of the Han family, how could it be used as an exchange bargaining chip?!" Liu Qi sneered: "Mr. Bo Xue really deceives me as a hairy boy!" Those who exchange the land of the Han family for chaos will be regarded as an attempt to rebel and will be killed! Archers, get ready to unleash your arrows! ”

Liu Qi's words are not wrong, the emperor still exists, and the world belongs to the Han family. And Liu Qi is the queen of the Han family, so it is easy to give Sun Jian these charges to him.

Cold sweat oozed from Huanjie's forehead, as long as Liu Qi gave an order, these dozens of people would be here.

For the first time, Huan Jie felt that it was so difficult to deal with a little hairy child, and he pretended to be calm and said, "Could it be that the general is so unwise!" When the two families fight, there will always be people who will benefit from it, does the general think that with the general's current strength, he can deal with them one by one? Even if the general kills the Sun family, why bother with others in the end? ”

As he spoke, Huan Jie seemed to inadvertently point in the direction of Jiaozhou, and Liu Qi's expression suddenly changed, and he was undecided. Since sending troops to meet Sun Jian, Liu Qi has not been able to let go of Jiaozhou Shixie, and the news that the scouts have not seen for a long time has made him even more anxious.

"The general is brave and strategic, don't let people take advantage of the loopholes." Seeing that Liu Qi was silent, Huan Jie was overjoyed and took advantage of the situation to pursue.

After a long while, Liu Qi sighed faintly and said, "Mr. Bo Qi is talented, I will admire him!" Lay down your weapons and let them come and change Sun Wentai. ”

Huan Jie was overjoyed, ordered someone to dock the ship, and untied Cai He and Zhang Yun, and then said to Liu Qi in a loud voice: "Thank you, General Major." ”

Liu Qi didn't pay attention to it, and Huan Jie didn't mind, after all, his life was still in the hands of others, so he hurriedly ordered the accompanying sergeant to carry the bodies of Sun Jian, Xu Kun, and Gong Qiu Cheng to the city.

After these were done, Huan Jie sweated profusely and made a gesture to Liu Qi: "This matter is over, and the contemptible people are here to bid farewell to the major general." ”

Cai He hid beside Liu Qi and Shi A without any interest, and when he saw Huan Jie about to cross the river and leave, he said hatefully: "Liu... Eldest son, don't let him escape! This is the return of the tiger. ”

Huan Jie glanced at Liu Qi quietly, and found that he didn't make any moves, and he was immediately relieved. Shi Ah couldn't hold back any longer, grabbed Cai He and slapped Cai He a few times, and scolded: "Big brother can't do things in your turn to point fingers!" ”

Since entering Xiangyang City, Shi A has been swallowing his anger, and now he finally caught the opportunity, and these slaps made him feel happy.

Cai He was swollen like a pig's head in an instant, and pointed at Shi A fiercely, and kept saying "you" in his mouth. Shi A sneered, and slapped him a few more times, and even Shi A was beaten out a few teeth.

"How dare you, a flat-headed commoner, beat me? I'll fight with you......" Cai He was about to pounce, Liu Qi pulled out his saber with a brush, flashed coldly, and firmly inserted it between Cai He and Shi A.

"If you say one more word, take one step further, and cut it!"

Cai He was in a cold sweat, he was frightened back a few steps by the knife light, and bumped into Liu Qi's murderous gaze, knowing that Liu Qi was not telling a lie, so he had to glare at Shi A fiercely, and his resentment and hatred towards Liu Qi were even higher.

Huan Jie's heart was full of praise for Liu Qi, but his face was silent. Zhang Yun glanced at Liu Qi with complicated eyes, and then looked at Cai He with some disdain, so he simply turned his head away and didn't look at it.

Liu Qi bowed his head a little apologetically and said: "Mr. Bo Xue has great talents, why don't you give up the secret and turn to the light, there is a shortage of Mr. and other talents under the general's account." ”

Huan Jie was stunned for a moment, and said indifferently: "How can the contemptible He De be loved by the young general, General Sun has the grace of knowing something, and he will forgive his fate." What's more, the young general is not necessarily the light, and the Sun family is the dark, what does the young general think? ”

Liu Qi nodded, expressing understanding: "It's General Ben's extravagance, sir, please go slowly." ”

Huan Jie bowed his hand, boarded the boat and said: "Major General, farewell." ”

Liu Qi suddenly remembered something, and said loudly: "Mr. Bo Qi is so calculating, and General Ben is willing to bow down!" ”

The expression of Huan Jie on the Chong Chong changed, and he pretended to be calm and ordered people to go in the direction of Linxiang, and disappeared on the river after a short time.

Liu Qi suddenly sighed: "What a righteous man in Jiangdong! ”

Shi Ah pulled out the knife stuck in the ground and asked puzzledly, "Why did the eldest brother say this?" ”

"This Huan Boxi is also a character." Liu Qi took the war knife handed over by Shi A, inserted it back into the scabbard, and asked rhetorically, "Third brother, don't you understand the purpose of him coming here to see me and asking for Sun Jian back?" ”

Cai He smiled disdainfully and went with the military doctor to heal his wounds. Zhang Yun looked in the direction of Linxiang and thought thoughtfully.

Shi A flashed his light and said, "Could it be that the purpose of his coming is not only to exchange Sun Jian's corpse, but also to give the defenders who are far away in Linxiang City time to retreat?" ”

"Not bad!" Liu Qi praised Shi A, being able to figure this out in such an instant, Shi A is also smart and commendable, "The whole army obeys the order, rests on the spot for an hour, and then crosses the river to recover all the lost territory in Changsha County!" ”

"No!"

"Why don't you take advantage of the victory and chase after the big brother?" Shi Ah asked suspiciously.

"You can't catch up with an army that is trying to escape with all its might, not to mention that after fighting for a long time overnight, the soldiers are quite tired, let's rest!" Liu Qi didn't look at Zhang Yuncai and the two, and said: "Order someone to escort this person back to Xiangyang and wait for the lord's fate." ”

Shi Ah answered the order and left.

……

The sun was warm after noon, and above the Linxiang ferry, Liu Qi and others were about to reorganize their army.

There are more than 10 ships on the river, these boats were originally left by Sun Jian on the riverbank, and later Shi A Zhanghu led people to attack here, so these boats were confiscated and hidden not far from the Linxiang ferry, and at this time they were taken out to rely on them to cross the Xiangjiang River.

"Report!" A scout rushed up: "General, the reinforcements of our army are already a mile away, and it won't take a moment to reach the ferry." ”

Liu Qi was overjoyed, he was thinking that it was really difficult to defend against the pressure from Yuzhang County with this little force alone, not to mention that the pacification of Changsha County still needed to be maintained by soldiers, and asked in surprise: "Do you know who is coming?" How many soldiers and horses are there? ”

"It was Lord Deng and Kuai Junshi who led 8,000 foot soldiers to come to support." The scout replied.

"Good! We will wait for them here, and after joining them, we will cross the river and recover Linxiang City! Liu Qi smiled.

In the anticipation of Liu Qi, reinforcements finally arrived.

"Xia Guan has seen the lord!" Deng Yi bowed his head, and Liu Qi hurriedly said, "Mr. Zixiao doesn't have to be like this, please get up quickly." ”

"I've seen the eldest prince below." Kuai Yue had lost the arrogance of the previous few days, and made a gesture to Liu Qi. Liu Qi nodded and said, "The two gentlemen came overnight, it is really a blessing for our army, and it is hard work." ”

"The lord's words are heavy, and it is the duty of his subordinates to serve the lord and relieve his worries, so why do you have hard words." Deng Yi still looked meticulous, "It's the lord who has been fighting for days and days, and he has won such a major victory, which really makes Zai Xia ashamed." ”

The three of them complimented, and Liu Qi asked, "Father... What is his arrangement? ”

Deng Yi's and Kuaiyue's faces suddenly became a little strange, mixed with joy and embarrassment. Liu Qi was puzzled: "Don't sell the two gentlemen, please speak up." ”

Deng Yi and Kuai Yue looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and Deng Yi said: "Uh... The old lord ordered to capture Linxiang on the same day, pacify the rebellion in Changsha, and the traitor Zhang Xian asked in public to set an example. Lord, you must return to Xiangyang after capturing Linxiang City, and reward you for your meritorious deeds. ”

Liu Qi was stunned for a moment and said, "That's all my father said? ”

"Ahem..."Kuai Yue said embarrassedly: "The eldest prince, let's talk to you directly, and I hope the eldest prince will not be angry." ”

This time, Liu Qi was even more puzzled, and said, "It's okay to say it directly. ”

Kuai Yue smiled bitterly and said: "The lord has a saying, after obtaining Linxiang, Zixiao is the Taishou of Changsha, Pang Ji is the Taishou of Guiyang, and although he is not talented, he is also the Taishou of Lingling......"

Liu Qi understood, it turned out that Liu Biao only mentioned rewarding the three of them, but did not mention Liu Qi himself. Shi A was slightly dissatisfied, and was about to speak, Liu Qi waved his hand and said: "Since it is my father's order, the three counties depend on you." ”

"Eldest Prince, do you understand what you mean?" Kuai Yue Deng Yi was puzzled now.

Liu Qi smiled indifferently and said, "No, I understand what my father meant." Don't worry, gentlemen, I really get it. ”

The two looked at Liu Qi's calm expression, not as if they were faking, and smiled bitterly in their hearts: Is this the father Mo Ruozi?

"Okay, it's been a long time here, let's cross the river!" Liu Qi gave an order, and the whole army crossed the Xiangjiang River in batches. Seeing Liu Qi say this, the two had to press the doubts in their hearts and cross the river with the team.

After crossing the Xiangjiang River safely, when the army arrived at Linxiang City, the sky was getting dark.

Sure enough, as Liu Qi and others expected, all the defenders of Sun Jian's family in the city retreated, and at this time, I am afraid that they have already entered Yichun County in Yuzhang County.

Zhang Xian's father and son, who stayed behind, knew that they were invincible to Liu Qi's army, but they still sent sergeants to resist. Under the strong attack of Liu Qi's army, Linxiang City was captured with a loss of more than 100 people in the end, and Zhang Xian's father and son and some of their comrades were beheaded in public.

So far, Changsha County rebelled for less than ten days and was pacified by Liu Qi. Sun Jian's army was defeated, Sun Jian, Xu Kun, and Gong Qiu were killed in battle, Liu Biaofang's army was destroyed, Lu Jie, and Zhang Hu were killed in battle, and the loss of troops reached about 20,000, which can be described as a great injury to vitality.

Early in the morning, Liu Qi and Shi A returned to Xiangyang with the elite cavalry that had followed from Yiyang County to accept Liu Biao's reward. The affairs of Changsha County were handed over to Deng Yi, and with the support of Liu Qi, the young generals Wu Ju and Huang Guo were appointed to assist in the defense of Yuzhang County.

Wu Ju and Huang Guo were exceptionally promoted to Deng Yi's deputy generals because they opened the city gate from inside Linxiang City and killed Zhang Xian and others. The territory taken over is getting bigger and bigger, but the talent on hand is not enough. This made Liu Qi have to speed up his thinking about the issue of attacking Nanyang County.

Kuai Yue took 3,000 cavalry and rushed to Lingling County to deal with government affairs.
