Although Liu Xin didn't know about Cai Zhong's appointment as Changsha's Taishou, Cai Mao and Cai Jue both knew, Cai Mao and Cai Jue both knew, there was Cai Mao's experience of being grounded at home for more than half a year, and there was a warning from his sister Cai Jue, Cai Zhong was also decent in Changsha, and he didn't dare to do anything wrong, Cai Zhong is also a little smart, anyone who can get Liu Xin's gold medal for avoiding death can speak in front of Liu Xin, and they are all masters who can't be messed with, so for Gan Ning's request, Cai Zhong is full of promises, so in this way, He really didn't send the news to Xiangyang, so Ma Yun and Fu Zhi had no way of knowing Gan Ning's movements.

Jingzhou Navy is well-trained, equipment is also on par with the five major legions, although abandoned the boat and landed, the action is just as rapid, from the assembly to the departure, it took only half an hour, and when the army arrived at the border between Changsha and Yuzhang, Yan Baihu's army did not see a human figure, Gan Ning did not delay, directly ordered to march to Yuzhang, traveled more than 30 miles, and was bumping into Yan Baihu's men and horses,

The composition of Yan Baihu's army is very complicated, the big and small officers are all served by the bandits who originally followed Yan Baihu, the soldiers have bandits, there are forcible people, and Sun Jian's subordinates who surrendered.

Gan Ning couldn't control that much, as soon as he saw that the enemy army was in front of him, he suddenly became excited, roared angrily, and rushed over with a big knife, Yan Baihu never expected that he wanted to sneak attack Changsha, but the army in Changsha came first, and before he came to his senses, his army was already in chaos,

Yan Baihu didn't expect that his army would collapse at the first touch, and in the panic, he walked back, ran all the way into Yuzhang City, counted his subordinates, and lost more than 20,000 people, he didn't have time to feel sorry for the loss, so he listened to the report of his own soldiers, there were countless military horses outside the city, Yan Baihu climbed up to the city to see, the black army was shouting and rushing to the city wall,

Although the city is a Jingzhou naval army, but every year to the training base in the western suburbs of Xiangyang to participate in drills, for the siege war is no stranger, and they have been living on the boat for a long time, walking the springboard, pickpocketing boat gang is commonplace, and the skills are more flexible than ordinary foot soldiers.

The walls of Yuzhang City are not very high, and these soldiers under his command are all frightened, Yan Baihu commanded for a long time, seeing that he could not resist, he hurriedly ran down the city, and did not even return to the Taishou Mansion, so he fled eastward,

Yan Baihu's nest is in Wu County, but from Yuzhang to Wu County, there are Huiji and Danyang in between, which belong to Yangzhou under the rule of Yangzhou, the situation in Yangzhou was the most complicated at that time, and the relationship between the counties was also the most delicate, there were six counties in Yangzhou, Yangzhou Mu Liu Miao only mastered Danyang and Jiujiang two counties, Lujiang County was occupied by Yuan Shu, Huiji County was controlled by Wang Lang, and the remaining Wu County and Yuzhang were Yan Baihu's territory,

Yan Baihu's two territories are separated by Danyang and Huiji two counties, but because Yan Baihu and Wang Lang are good to each other, he accidentally learned that Sun Jian waved his division to the north and Yuzhang was empty, so he used the Tao Huiji to carry out a sneak attack, if it weren't for the very good relationship with Wang Lang, his two territories were blocked from traffic, and sooner or later he would lose a place, and now, seeing that Yuzhang was no longer defensible, Yan Baihu naturally wanted to return to Wu County, so borrowing the Tao Huiji became the only choice.

Although the old servant of the Taishou Mansion didn't know his movements, it didn't mean that Yan Baihu's subordinates didn't know where he had fled to.

However, at that time, the south was vast and sparsely populated, and only four counties of Danyang, Wu County, Yuzhang and Huiji almost included most of the entire Jiangxi, Zhejiang and Jiangsu in later generations, and the gap between the cities was also relatively large.

Gan Ning's battle was very unenjoyable, Yan Baihu and his men and horses were like soft persimmons, they were rotten with a slight pinch, and Gan Ning, who was still excited, said without thinking: "The army will rest for a while, leaving two thousand people to guard Yuzhang, and the rest of the men and horses are ready to attack." ”

This Yuzhang was originally under the control of Sun Jian, and was successfully attacked by Yan Baihu, and today he returned here, Cheng Pu and Huang Gai were excited, but it didn't take long for Cheng Pu to calm down from the excitement and said: "General Qiyu Gan, the task of the main bus is to guard Changsha and wait, and it has not allowed us to use troops against Yan Baihu. ”

Gan Ning said disdainfully: "Why, General Cheng was full of ambition just after he laid down a Yu Zhang, but he was still afraid of Wang Lang, who would be funny, Yan Baihu dared to provoke Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu I beat him today so that he has no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the ground." ”

During this period of getting along, Cheng Pu already knew that Gan Ning was this surname, and he didn't mean to ridicule himself, so he didn't feel annoyed, and continued: "General Gan Mingjian, the last general is not afraid, and the last general is not with the Yan Baihu, and he can't wait to skin him and cramp, but the lord doesn't know how the war is going in Sanguan, and even Yan Baihu dares to take the opportunity to fight the idea of Changsha, are the other princes all deaf, in case we wait for the labor division to go on an expedition, leaving a gap in the rear, which is taken advantage of by the enemy, and it will be too late to regret it,"

Su Fei also said with a sad face: "General Gan, without the military order above, I am afraid that you will ...... if you move the army without authorization."

Gan Ning interrupted him and said: "Although the lord did not let me attack Wang Lang, but since the eldest husband was born in the world, he should make meritorious contributions and expand the territory, and now the time is right, don't take this opportunity to take Huiji and Wu County, let alone when, so let's do it, General Cheng, I will give you 5,000 men and horses to stay in Yuzhang City, and by the way, clean up the remnants of the surrounding counties, and the others will follow me to pursue Yan Baihu." ”

Cheng Pu and the others saw that Gan Ning had made up his mind, so they had to give up their promises.

Although in this way, only 15,000 troops can be used by Gan Ning, but this military force is also said to be a great military force in Jiangnan, Jiangnan is sparsely populated, and the corresponding source of troops is not so sufficient, in history, Sun Ce only relied on the first few thousand men and horses, he was able to lay down a piece of Eastern Wu, that is, because the princes who divided Jiangdong did not have many troops, and the two sides each invested 10,000 people to count it as a large-scale battle, that is, when it came to the later Battle of Chibi, facing Cao Ying's 830,000 army, Sun Quan handed over to Zhou Yu only 50,000 troops, and in the northern battlefield, more than 100,000 or 200,000 people were invested at every turn, and in the last two large-scale battles, the Kwantung Coalition Army conscripted Dong Zhuo and Liu Xin's Northern Expedition, and the total number of troops dispatched by both sides was more than 600,000.

However, Jiangnan also has the characteristics of Jiangnan, where the water network is dense, not only for the cavalry, but also for the large army to maneuver is also very inconvenient, the supply of grain and grass often has to make the commanders of the three armies very troubled, however, these problems are not difficult for Gan Ning's troops, they are originally the navy, although this expedition did not mobilize the warships, but as long as they find a few boats, or set up a few rafts, no matter how wide and urgent the river is not under their words, from Yuzhang to Huiji, hundreds of miles away, only two days, they arrived,

Yan Baihu walked halfway to the road, suddenly turned to the north, and sure enough, he bypassed Huiji City and went back to Wu County, Huiji Taishou Wang Lang did not get the news of Yan Baihu's defeat, and was shocked to hear that Liu Xin's army was coming, and he hurriedly summoned all the civil and military forces to discuss,

Jun Chengyu turned over and said: "Lord Qiyu, Liu Xinyuan is in Jingzhou, since his army can come here, Yuzhang should have been taken by him, he will attack with the power of new victory, in the opinion of his subordinates, the lord or negotiate peace, or please surrender, but do not fight, otherwise I am afraid that I will have a life." ”

Captain Zhou Xin said angrily: "How do you grow the ambition of others, extinguish your own majesty, from the ancient road, the soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, Liu Xin's men and horses come from afar, you can take advantage of its fatigue and attack its surprise, the lord, the last general is willing to lead an army out of the city, and the head of the enemy will be sacrificed." ”

Wang Lang was overjoyed and said: "General Zhou is willing to go, why worry about the enemy soldiers not retreating, Liu Xin is insatiable, not only to seize the Yu Zhang, but also to come back to invade Huiji, if you don't teach him a lesson, he doesn't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick." ”

Yu Flip was silent, surrendered and retreated, the Yu family is a famous family in the Huiji area, and there are many people in the family who went to Xiangyang to do business, and once brought back a few copies of the Dahan Express, commonly known as the newspaper, through the oral description of these businessmen and the description in the newspaper, Yu Flip also has a preliminary understanding of the situation in Jingzhou, knowing that the strength of Huiji is absolutely no match for Liu Xin, Zhou Xin is a brave husband, Wang Lang is the guard of a county, but he does not know how to advance or retreat, and it will bring catastrophe to Huiji, which is really embarrassing.

As soon as Gan Ning arrived at the city, he saw that the city gate was wide open, and a Biao army would come out, and the first general would dance a big knife and shout: "Who is coming?" ”

Huang Gai waved his double whips, rushed to the front first, and said loudly: "I am Huang Gai, a subordinate of Lord Mu Liu of Jingzhou, if you are interested, hurry up and hand over Yan Baihu, so as not to cause misery, if not, when my army will go in, I will regret it." ”

Zhou Xin laughed and said: "Nameless rats, dare to come to Tai Sui's head to break ground, and eat me." ”

Before the words fell, Zhou Xin danced the big knife in his hand to face Huang Gai, Huang Gai picked up the double whip and fought with him in one place, the two fought for about ten rounds, only to hear Huang Gai shout, a whip in his left hand was hitting Zhou Xin's chest, smashing a bronze heart goggle, Zhou Xin was taken aback, and walked away, Huang Gai had expected him to do this, patted the horse to catch up, and the whip of his right hand was smashed on the back of his head, and suddenly his brain burst, Zhou Xin shook on the horse and planted it.

Wang Lang saw it at the head of the city, and ordered the city gate to be closed, and as Zhou Xin went out of the city, those soldiers saw that Zhou Xin was whipped to death by Huang Gai, and they all turned around and fled to the city.

In a hurry, Wang Lang didn't care about the soldiers and horses crowded under the city, and shouted loudly: "Hurry, hurry up and release the arrows." ”
