In early winter, the weather in Jingzhou is getting colder and colder day by day.

Jiangxia, Xiling City, a light snow is coming as scheduled, among the flying snowflakes, in a pure white world, among the footsteps of soldiers, a blood-colored tiger head flag flies on the top of the snow dance.

The east of the city, the school field, the barracks, the big tent of the Chinese army.

With the help of his personal guards, Sun Jian took off the armor on his body, and his hands were gently on the brazier, with a touch of warmth, he raised his head, his eyes gently swept over the generals, and asked, "How is the battle of Fankou now?" ”

Xiling City had been taken by him five days ago, in fact, it was effortless to take Xiling, and Liu Bei finally chose to withdraw his troops by himself.

Sun Jian besieged the city for ten days, and stayed in Xiling in a chapter.

The battle was not fought at all.

Jiangxia County has hit this one, except for Fankou and Xiakou, who are still in the hands of Liu Bei, the rest of the territory of Wu has completely become the territory of the Wu State.

Taking Jiangxia is not something to be happy about for Sun Jian, after all, hundreds of thousands of troops are pressed up, even if they are crushed, Jiangxia can be flattened.

The real battle is yet to come.

Now the two ferries of Fankou and Xiakou, together with the Shaxian City in the rear, have formed a triangular fortress, coordinated left and right, Liu Bei and Cai Maoai's general Zhang Yun, a total of 60,000 troops garrisoned.

This was the first line of defense of the state of Chu against the state of Wu.

"Report to the king, although General Gan Ning has captured Xiakou and broken the direction of Zhang Yun, but it has not hurt Zhang Yun's troops, Zhang Yun retreated to Fankou and joined Liu Biao, and now General Gan Ning is leading his troops to attack Fankou, but General Gan Ning wrote yesterday that the weather is getting colder and colder. We have some difficulty marching into the army! ”

Mo Cong stood up and respectfully reported: "After all, behind the Fankou ferry is Sha Xian, and Liu Biao in Sha Xian City has hoarded countless grain and grass strategic materials in advance, so General Gan Ning has never been able to take Fankou in one fell swoop!" ”

"Herald Ganning, no matter what, within this year. We must take Fankou and Shaxian, and we must be under the red cliff before next year! ”

Sun Jian squinted, there was a sharpness in his eyes, and he said coldly: "Gongtai, you will go to Fankou later and assist Gan Ning!" ”

It is now nearly December, and there is still a month to go, and with Gan Ning's ability, there is still Xuezhou Zhou Tai to help. There is no problem with the Fankou that has been taken.

Since the former general He Qi went to the South China Sea, took over Xue Zhou's fleet in the South China Sea, and guarded the South China Sea, the three giants of the Wu Navy have become the four giants of the navy.

Xue Zhou, the original defender of the South China Sea, has now joined the fleet of this western expedition, and the eight building ships gathered and the navy of more than 150,000 are the main force in this battle.

Sun Jian believed in Gan Ning, so this battle. He took Gan Ning as the main general.

"No!"

When Chen Gong heard this, he stood up. Nodding.

He knew very well in his heart that now the battle of Fankou had been deadlocked, making Sun Jian obviously a little impatient to wait, so even he, the military advisor, had to be dispatched in person.

"Mo Cong, did Tai Shici find Guan Yu's soldiers and horses?" Sun Jian raised his head and asked in a deep voice.

Guan Yu led his troops north. There has been no trace, which made him a little uneasy in his heart, and he asked Tai Shici to personally lead 20,000 elite soldiers to the north, and be sure to find Guan Yu.

After all, Guan Yu led his troops north, and he would inevitably pose a threat to Sun Ce's right army. Now that Sun Ce's battle line is so long, he can't worry about it or not.

"Nope!"

When Mo Cong heard this, he shook his head and said, "The 30,000 main soldiers and horses led by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei seem to have disappeared, even the spies of Jinyiwei can't find them now!" ”

"Tens of thousands of troops, even if they divide their troops, they can't run, Jiangxia is not our territory after all, but there is one person who must know their marching route!" Sun Jian squinted.

"Wang, go find Huang Chengyan!"

Hearing this, a one-armed young man standing next to him stood up suddenly, his eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he said coldly: "Jiangxia Huang family, according to the name of the family tree, a certain is the legitimate head of the family, and the whereabouts of Guan Yu who must have made him vomit!" ”

In Jiangxia, there is only one family that can cover up Guan Yu's forces so secretly, the Jiangxia Huang family.

Now that the Jiangxia Huang family is under the control of Huang Chengyan, the great Confucian of Jingzhou, after Xiling City was stationed by Sun Jian, Sun Jian did not embarrass Huang Chengyan.

Huang Chengyan is a great Confucian in Jingzhou, and his every move can affect the hearts of Jingzhou scholars, even Sun Jian, he must be respectful in the face of him, and moving him is equivalent to causing the backlash of the entire Jingzhou Shilin.

"No!"

Pang Tong's eyes moved slightly, but he shook his head and said: "After all, Mr. Huang is the spiritual pillar of Jingzhou Shilin, and my uncle, together with Sima Sacrificial Wine, is known as the Three Great Confucians of Jingzhou, and he should not be moved lightly!" ”

"King, in the past, Cao Cao killed Bian Rang in Yanzhou, which almost aroused the resistance of the entire Yanzhou scholars against him, so that Lu Bu almost captured Yanzhou, Huang Chengyan still has to be careful!"

Chen Gong groaned for a while, agreed with Pang Tong's words, and respectfully advised.

Scholars, in this turbulent era, are a group of peculiar people, they are powerless, helpless in the face of rogues, but in the face of a prince, they have a remarkable position.

"You're right!"

When Sun Jian heard this, his face became solemn, and he said coldly: "Although Huang Chengyan has always been hostile to us, he has a wide range of contacts, killing him, we can control the Jiangxia Huang family, but it will cause the entire Jingzhou to backlash, it is not cost-effective!" ”

"King, I'm sorry, the last general is in a hurry!"

The one-armed young man Huang Shot's heart suddenly burst, and he hurriedly bowed down and said in a low voice.

He returned to Jiangxia as scheduled, but the Huang family had already changed, and he couldn't help but be a little anxious.

When Huang Zu was still alive, he could still compete with Huang Chengyan, he didn't have this influence at all, and in the face of Huang Chengyan, even if he backed Wu Guo, he couldn't control the Jiangxia Huang family.

After all, the Jiangxia Huang clan is the first family that has controlled Jiangxia County for nearly a hundred years, although it stimulates motivation and splits forces, but there is still a background in it.

If you want to control Jiang Xia, you must control the Huang family, and he knows this.

"I don't blame you, you are also for Wu Guo!"

Sun Jian glanced at Huang Jie, he didn't blame Huang Jie, but said lightly: "The rice has to be eaten one bite at a time, and things have to be done one by one, after all, the Huang family is a century-old family, and it is intertwined in Jiangxia, if you want to control Jiangxia, you must think long-term, Huang Chengyan can't move!" ”

He wants not only Jiangxia, nor a small Huang family, he wants the entire Jingzhou, so he must take into account the overall situation when doing things.

"No!"

"But after all, you are the son of Huang Zu, Huang Zu has controlled the Huang family for so many years, it is impossible not to have a little foundation!" Sun Jian squinted, glanced at Huang Jie, his eyes burst out with a gleam, and said, "You try to control this part of the power, I believe you can get clues from it!" ”

"Rest assured, the king will not live up to the king's expectations!" Huang Jie bowed and nodded, and said firmly.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Northeast of Xiangyang City, Caiyang City.

This city belongs to Nanyang County, but it is the gateway to Xiangyang City, not a big city, there are about 10,000 households and tens of thousands of people.

Sun Ce was wearing the lion king's armor and holding a silver spear, standing proudly at the head of the city, his eyes scanning the distant camp outside the city, there was a touch of yin owl.

"Bo Fu, it seems that this Xiangyang City is not easy to fight!"

Zhou Yu was dressed in a long robe, with a graceful demeanor, wearing a long sword at his waist, standing quietly beside Sun Ce, his eyes narrowed slightly, Xiangyang was in front of them, one step away, but he couldn't step over.

"Wen hires this general, his reputation is not obvious, but he can't be underestimated!" Sun Ce said coldly: "His 20,000 troops, the camp layout is very cautious, and now he only has 10,000 troops under his command, and he can't cross over!" ”

"It's not Wenpin's worry that a certain family is worried about!"

When Zhou Yu heard this, he shook his head, his eyes had a touch of essence, and said: "Now that our battle line is so long, if there is a problem in the county, I'm afraid we will have to fight against the water!" ”

"Didn't you plan to fight against the water?" Sun Ce turned his head, glanced at Zhou Yu, and said indifferently: "If no one in Suixian County goes to fight, are you still worried!" ”

Zhou Yu laid out a big situation in Suixian, and waited for Liu Bei to enter the game.

"Zhuge Liang who is worried!"

Zhou Yu didn't have any smugness in this matter, his handsome face was a little solemn, and said: "Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led tens of thousands of troops to the north and wanted to intercept us, which is not unexpected, but Pang Tong personally wrote a letter to beware of Zhuge Liang!" ”

"Zhuge Liang?"

When Sun Ce heard this, his eyes narrowed a line, bursting out with a trace of dangerous light, and said: "For this person, I don't know much, but Zhongmou once evaluated him, and his wisdom is almost demonic!" ”

"Its intelligence is close to a demon?" Zhou Yu gritted his teeth, if it was an ordinary person's evaluation, he would not put it in his eyes, but Sun Zhongmou's turquoise eyes never looked at the wrong person.

"Looks like you need to be careful with this guy!" Sun Ce's attitude also became solemn.

"Although Guan Yu's tens of thousands of troops have an impact on us!" When Zhou Yu heard this, his heart suddenly suddenly, gritted his teeth, and said: "But the impact is not great, but I am a little uneasy in my heart, it seems that this uneasiness is related to Zhuge Liang, but where else can Zhuge Liang squeeze out troops?" ”

"Uneasy?"

"Yes!"

Zhou Yu said: "We seem to have counted something less!" ”

"What?"

When Sun Ce heard this, his face changed slightly.

"For example, Cao Wei!" Zhou Yu had a flash of inspiration and said suddenly.

"You mean, Cao Cao's troops in Nanyang will strike?"

Sun Ce was a little unsteady.

"Maybe!" Zhou Yu said in a deep voice: "But it can't be denied that there is this possibility, after all, Zhang Xiu still has tens of thousands of troops, once he moves, we will be attacked by the enemy!" ”

"Chen Wu, Dong Xi, where are the troops of Lu Meng's three routes?" Sun Ce thought for a while and asked, he used himself as a bait, and the purpose was to cover the other three-way forces and attack Xiangyang by surprise.

"In three days at most, you can come to Xiangyang!" Zhou Yu said.

"Good!"

Sun Ce said coldly: "No matter what tricks they have, now it's just a matter of whose hand is fast!" (To be continued......)
