Zhang Ning keenly captured a piece of information from Liu Pi's words, that is, Gong Du and Liu Bi said that the distinguished guest's surname was Jane. Although Zhang Ning is just a female streamer, she usually likes to talk about the general trend of the world with Xu Huang, and she still has some understanding of what civil and military generals are under the princes of all parties. And among the civil and military forces under the princes of the world, there are not too many surnames Jane.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Ning had already vaguely guessed who Master Jian was in Liu Pi's mouth, and couldn't help sneering: "Little sister, what kind of master did you find, it turned out to be just a lost dog." The younger sister persuaded the two senior brothers to recognize the situation clearly and not to miss their future and life. ”

Gong Du hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Everything is according to the young master's orders." ”

People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. It is clear which of Liu Bei and Liu Xin is stronger and which is weak, since there is Liu Xin, a high branch to climb, where is Gong Du willing to stupidly go to Liu Bei's thief ship.

Zhang Ning was very satisfied with Gong Du's static, nodded, and said: "As long as the two senior brothers sacrifice the so-called adult surnamed Jian together with Runan, Lord Liu has always had clear rewards and punishments, and my husband has good words for the two senior brothers, and the glory and wealth are indispensable to the two senior brothers." ”

Gong Du said without hesitation: "Please stay for a while, and then go with Senior Brother Liu to control Jian Yong." ”

Zhang Ning waved his hand and motioned for the two of them to go quickly.

Pang De looked at the backs of Gong Du and Liu Bi who left in a hurry, and said worriedly: "Mrs. Qiyu, the last general thinks that the two of them should not be let go together, at least one of them should be detained, just in case." ”

Zhang Ning shook his head and said, "General Pang, don't worry, the two of them are both personal disciples of their father, even if they borrow ten of their courage, they will not dare to make unfavorable moves against Mrs. Ben." ”

With a "snap", Liu Xin slammed the letter in his hand on the table in front of him, and shouted angrily: "Nonsense! It's just nonsense! ”

Mink Chan, who was instructing Lu Qiling's dance moves, stopped when she heard the sound, turned her head to look at Liu Xin and asked nervously, "I don't know what happened?" made the old man so angry. ”

At this time, they were on a building ship near Chungu County, Danyang County, and more than a dozen fighting ships were guarding the surrounding river, and this building ship was the former enemy command post temporarily set up by Liu Xin. The other princes now have no naval army, and the building boat on the river is even safer than staying in Wanling City, so Liu Xin also took Minchan and them with him.

Feeling that he was a little out of shape, Liu Xin stabilized his mood, waved his hand and said, "Oh, it's not a big deal." Chan'er, you go out first, and by the way, invite Mr. Fu over, I have something to tell him. ”

Minchan thought at first that it was because there was something wrong with the dance moves she taught Lu Qiling, so she was startled, and when she heard Liu Xin say that she wanted to ask for a frustration to come over, she knew that Liu Xin's anger had nothing to do with her. Minchan adheres to a bottom line, that is, she will never ask about any major military and political matters. However, seeing that Liu Xin's face was not worried, she still hurriedly pulled Lu Qiling out and withdrew.

After a while, Fu Zhi walked in and arched his hand: "I don't know what the lord hurriedly summoned his subordinates, what did he order?" ”

Liu Xin pointed to the letter on the table, and said in a deep voice: "You already know what was said in the letter of the Gongming, let's talk about your opinion." ”

Fu Zhu smiled and arched his hand, and said: "Mrs. Xu is well aware of righteousness, willing to commit strange dangers, if this trip to Runan can be successful, and Gong Du and Liu Pi take the initiative to surrender, then they can cut off the connection between Lujiang and Qian County, and Yuan Shu will really become a turtle in the urn, this old turtle is much fatter than the elk, haha, haha......"

It turned out that after Zhang Ning left, Xu Huang thought about it and still felt that he should report this matter to Liu Xin, so he sent Liu Xin a flying pigeon letter.

Because Liu Bei made a lot of fanfare when he presented the jade seal of the country, now, Liu Xin and Fu Zhu not only know that Yuan Shu has blatantly claimed the emperor, but also know that the jade seal of the country has also fallen into the hands of Yuan Shu. In the eyes of Fu Zhu, the heirloom jade seal means the supreme imperial power, and he has to help Liu Xin get the heirloom jade seal no matter what. As long as Runan is controlled, even if Yuan Shu, who lacks a naval army, takes Jiujiang, he is still surrounded by Liu Xin on all sides, can the heirloom jade seal still interlude its wings and fly?

Liu Xin didn't think so, he had already received the news that Yuan Shu had sent Liu Bei to Runan to quell the turmoil. Whether Zhang Ning can say that Gong Du and Liu Bi can be moved, he doesn't know, but he is sure that the rabble under Gong Du and Liu Pi is definitely not Liu Bei's opponent. Even if Zhang Ning can say that Gong Du and Liu Pi will surrender, they will definitely not be able to withstand the attack of Liu Bei's army, and Zhang Ning will be in danger at that time.

This is because Liu Xin didn't know that Liu Bei had sent Jian Yong to recruit Gong Du and Liu Bi, otherwise he would be even more worried. Because Liu Xin knew that Gong Du and Liu Bi had assisted Liu Bei in fighting against Cao Cao together in history, and the connection between them had a "criminal record". In this way, it is extremely likely that Jian Yong will persuade Gong Du and Liu Bi, in that case, Zhang Ning's situation will be even more dangerous.

Looking at the excited frustration, Liu Xin poured a basin of cold water on him, and said in a deep voice: "Liu Bei is extremely cunning, he has already been ordered to attack Runan. If Liu's expectations are not bad, once Liu Bei conquers Runan, he will definitely announce his departure from Yuan Shu, and even use Yuan Shu to claim the title of emperor to fight back, and then he will occupy the moral high ground. Therefore, we must eliminate Yuan Shu before Liu Bei captures Runan no matter what. Only in this way can Liu Bei's identity as Yuan Shuyu's party be confirmed. ”

He smiled and said, "It is precisely because my subordinates know the news that Liu Bei sent troops to Runan, so they are happy for Mrs. Xu's righteous act." Mrs. Xu's move was just right to get ahead of Liu Bei. His subordinates thought that as long as Liu Bei saw the banner of my Han Dynasty fluttering at the head of Runan City, he would definitely hug his head and run away. ”

Liu Xin was not so optimistic, his face was gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "Anyway, Gongming is my brother, and Liu is not willing to let his wife take risks." Deliver my orders, and the three-way army and horses will attack immediately. In addition, he told Komeito to personally lead the army into Runan and ensure the safety of his wife. ”

Several white doves took off from the ship, circled twice and flew in all directions, while several more clippers sped away. Out of concern about the safety of the flying pigeon, when issuing the order, Liu Xin has always used both preparations, while releasing the carrier pigeon, another team of meteor fast horses was sent to pass through the post road extending in all directions.

Zhang He's army was stationed on the riverside, and he was the first to get the news. In the past few years, he has been serving as a guard, and he rarely has the opportunity to kill, and he has long been a little unable to hold back. As soon as he received the order, Zhang He couldn't wait to order the three armies to board the ship.

An hour later, 20 transport ships loaded with soldiers of the Third Army Corps slowly sailed away from the south bank of the Yangtze River, and under the escort of dozens of naval warships, they went straight upstream, and soon landed on the river east of Xiang'an.

Zhang He led 30,000 horsemen all the way to the front, and arrived outside Xiang'an in the evening. As long as Xiang'an was conquered, the connection between Lujiang and Shouchun Yuan Shu's army and horses could be severed, and Zhang He immediately ordered the siege of the city without resting.

The soldiers of the Han Legion had undergone rigorous training and had been tested by all kinds of cruel conditions, and although they were very tired after the rapid march, none of them cried out. With Zhang He's order, everyone immediately entered the battle state. All kinds of tactics are usually practiced, and in just half an hour, all kinds of siege equipment are ready. Of course, intricate siege engines such as trebuchets had to wait to be transported from the rear, and all they had prepared were improvised ladders and carts. However, for a small city like Xiang'an, these things are enough. After the three-way drum sounded, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Third Army rushed to the head of Xiang'an City with shouts.

Although the county seat of Xiang'an is small, because this is the gateway to the southeast of the Lujiang River, Yuan Shu still attaches great importance to it and sends the general Liang Gang to lead 5,000 troops to garrison here. The news of Liu Xin's army's landing by the river had reached the city of Xiang'an, and Liang Gang sent people to Yuan Shu to report the urgency, and on the other hand ordered the requisition of people to strengthen the city's defenses. Just when the four gates were closed, countless people and horses had already appeared outside the city.

Liang Gang didn't expect the Han army to come so quickly, but seeing that it was just dark, he was not worried that the Han army would attack the city overnight, and continued to arrange the city defense slowly. Suddenly, there were shouts outside the city, and the Han army outside the city actually rushed over against the afterglow of the setting sun, and Liang Gang had to rush to the battle.

The siege battle was very difficult, but the Han army usually practiced many times in the training base, the infantry calmly climbed down the ladder to the city with rain of arrows, and the crossbowmen relied on strong bows to reflect on the city head, suppressing the defenders at the head of the city.

Although they occupy the advantage of geographical advantages, many of the people who have been forcibly recruited are not able to work. They have usually suffered from Yuan Shu's oppression, and they have long hoped that someone can save them from the sea of suffering, how can they be willing to be cannon fodder for Yuan Shu at this time. Liang Gang was already unprepared, and he wanted to urge these people to be strong, but for a while, he was climbed to the top of the city by a team of Han troops.

Seeing his soldiers ascend to the top of the city, Zhang He personally beat the war drums, and the already high morale of the Han army was even more unstoppable, and more and more soldiers rushed to the head of the city. Liang Gang saw that the situation was not good, turned around and ran towards the city.

The whole siege went very smoothly, and when night fell, Zhang He had already stepped into the Xiang'an County Ya. Unable to take a breather, Zhang He ordered the whole army to march towards Linhu. Linhu is the last barrier outside the city of Lujiang, and after conquering the lake, the Han army can reach the city of Lujiang.

After receiving the battle report sent by Zhang He, Liu Xin did not feel the slightest relief, what he was most worried about now was not whether he could take Lujiang, but whether Zhang Ning would be in danger in Runan.
