Chapter 145: The Dragger
Chen Sheng ignited Wei Yan's raging fire in just a few words. exerted 200% of his strength, and Yu Wanjun immediately suppressed the city with a horizontal sword.
While Wei Yan became famous all over the world, the city was also temporarily preserved.
However, the city is temporarily preserved, which does not mean that it is stable. The key still depends on the situation of Liaohua's reinforcements.
If there are no reinforcements, all this is just a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water.
Because, Liao Hua, who was in charge of requesting reinforcements this time, worked very, very hard. He first rode a fast horse that traveled 800 miles, all the way south.
It only took a day to reach Xiangjiang from Wancheng.
The so-called Xiangjiang River is a tributary of the Yangtze River, which flows into the Yangtze River from north to south. This big river crossed Jingzhou and broke the northern part of Jingzhou.
Jingzhou was divided into three parts.
To the north of this great river is the barrier of Jingzhou, Nanyang County. There are Fancheng, Xinye, Wancheng and so on. In other words, this great river, like the Yangtze River moat, has a natural defense.
Naturally, this big river is densely populated with warships, which is an important scope of activity for the Jingzhou naval army.
In the north, there are Wancheng Zhang Xiu, Chen Sheng, and there is a big river of Xiangjiang River as a barrier near it. As a result, two different situations were created in the north and south of Jingzhou.
Along the way, Liao Huan could feel that the entire northern part of Xiangjiang was a strong atmosphere of war, regardless of the people, the carriages and horses were in a hurry, and an uneasy atmosphere was spreading.
But when Liao Hua crossed the Xiangjiang River, it felt different.
I saw that in the south of the Xiangjiang River and in the north of Xiangyang, there were many ships, and these ships were all big ships, and they were full of goods.
Because there are so many ships, some of them have been docked in the horse's head and are unloading in full swing. Yes, they can only wait in the river.
There is a strong atmosphere of prosperity and comfort.
"Last time, the general had already sent envoys to ask for help. Therefore, the upper echelons of Xiangyang should know that the general is at war with Cao Ying. But the whole Xiangyang still exudes such a comfortable atmosphere. I don't know if it's been comfortable for too long, and I don't have a sense of crisis. Or is the entire upper layer of Xiangyang pustules? ”
Feeling this bustling atmosphere, Liao Hua was very disdainful in his heart.
It's been too long, and I don't know if this Jingzhou soldier can still hold the spear?
The combat effectiveness of the soldiers is already doubtful. I feel that there is a prosperous and comfortable atmosphere here, and I don't know if Liu Biao and those people want to send troops.
Thinking about it like this, Liao Hua suddenly felt that a huge mountain rock was pressing on his shoulders, making him feel a long way to go.
"Drive."
After stopping near the horse's head for a moment, Liao Hua quickly raised the horsewhip, continued to destroy the war horse under his crotch, and rushed towards Xiangyang quickly.
Xiangyang, a huge city.
It is tall, majestic, and in terms of defense, it is still above Wancheng. It's just a pity that there is still no atmosphere of war. Soon, Liao Hua entered the city of Xiangyang.
The city is full of traffic and the atmosphere of prosperity is simply pervasive.
"Drive." Feeling more, Liao Hua was also numb, he quickly drove the war horse and went to the Zhennan General's Mansion.
Soon after, Liao Hua arrived at the Zhennan General's Mansion, in front of the gate. In front of the door, there is a team of soldiers and horses, all of whom are quite majestic and mighty, but they are all a little lazy.
"Who are you? How dare you come here? In the face of Liao Hua's horseback, the guards didn't seem to care, they just verbally reprimanded, and the rest were too lazy to move.
"I am Nanyang County, Wancheng Jianzhong, General Liao Hua under General Chen, on the order of General Chen, came to meet Liu Jingzhou." Liao Hua turned over and dismounted, was respectful, and said.
"Isn't General Jianzhong Zhang Xiu? How did you become General Chen? The guard didn't take it seriously, but asked with some curiosity.
Zhang Xiu's death has not been completely spread.
Liao Hua was furious in his heart, but he had to explain: "General Zhang said that he died of illness before he died, and before he died, he ordered General Chen Sheng to be General Jianzhong. ”
"I see." The guard who was curious about the question just now said suddenly.
"Wait a minute, I'll report." After satisfying his curiosity, the guard didn't procrastinate, said to Liao Hua, turned around and entered the Zhennan General's Mansion.
"I'm tired." Liao Hua breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, raised his fist and said.
On the other side, after the guards entered the Zhennan General's Mansion, they asked the people where Liu Biao was, and then rushed away. He was running around when suddenly a person appeared in front of him.
The guard was taken aback when he saw this person, stopped and saluted, "Master Cai." ”
But it turned out that the person who came was the general military division of Zhennan, Cai Mao who was in power in Jingzhou, and Cai Dajunshi. Compared with a year ago, Cai Mao has not changed much, and she is still so noble and elegant.
The pain of losing a child does not seem to have left any traces on him.
"Hmm." Cai Mao snorted and was about to leave. Suddenly, on a whim, Cai Mao asked, "You look in a hurry, but what happened?" ”
"Back to Cai Junshi, there is a person outside the door who claims to be Liao Hua, a general under Chen Sheng, the general of Wancheng Jianzhong, asking to see him." Cai Mao asked, and the guard naturally didn't dare not answer, and said.
"Chen Sheng." Cai Mao's eyes suddenly narrowed, and in the gap, a touch of cold killing intent flashed away.
Don't look at the surface, Cai Mao hasn't changed at all, and she doesn't seem to have the pain of losing a child. But deep down, Cai Mao still has a faint pain. It's not easy to raise a son, so he was killed by Chen Sheng.
No matter who is right or wrong, in Cai Mao's opinion, the enmity between him and Chen Sheng is over.
However, it was not easy to find Chen Sheng to take revenge, especially when Zhang Xiu died, and Chen Sheng succeeded to the throne as the lord of Nanyang. The defense of Jingzhou Gateway depends on Chen Sheng.
It's hard to start, it's hard to start.
Therefore, Cai Mao wanted to trouble Chen Sheng, but there was no way. This time, though, it seems like an opportunity.
Immediately, Cai Mao's heart was about to move again.
Cao's army went south and marched into Wancheng. A few days ago, Chen Sheng had already sent someone to ask for reinforcements, and of course Cai Mao knew about this situation.
Cai Mao not only understood, he also knew that Liu Biao refused to send troops to help Chen Sheng because of Cao Ying's slow attack.
This is in addition to the fact that the war is not urgent, there is another circumstance. Chen Sheng attacked Jiang Guang in the west and Liu Pi in the east, and his power increased greatly. made Liu Biao a little jealous, Liu Biao wanted to use Cao Ying's hand to weaken Chen Sheng's strength a little.
And this time Liao Hua came, I am afraid that he still came to ask for reinforcements. Anyway, as long as Cao Ying marches slowly, no matter how Chen Sheng asks for help, the lord will not agree.
Just tricking him.
"Tell him that the lord has some important things to deal with, let him go to the pavilion to rest for a while." Cai Mao gave the order very casually.
