Facing Han Lie's sharp gaze, Guo Jia and Xun You glanced at each other, and Guo Jia spoke first: "Liu Biao's guests will be prisoners sooner or later." www.biquge.info If this person is allowed to become bigger, it will inevitably become a constraint, and Jia thinks that it is a top priority, and he should take this opportunity to press the border, seize Changsha, and force Sun Ce to fight a decisive battle under Guiyang City, in order to achieve the goal of annihilating him in one fell swoop. ”

"What Feng Xiao said is reasonable, Liu Biao is just a vain person, he doesn't see the incident, he is suspicious and indecisive, he can't do anything, and he just stays for a long time, but Sun Ce brothers, growing up in adversity, working hard, if you don't plan early, you will inevitably raise tigers and become troublesome, so you agree with Fengxiao's intentions." This time, the two military advisors can be said to have a rare agreement, obviously both of them have seen Sun Ce, who has grown up in adversity, and he already has a dragon and tiger atmosphere.

"Although the words of the two military advisors are realistic, Ran Lie believes that this is the best time to cut off Liu Biao and seize Jingzhou once and for all." Just when Guo Jia and Xun You both thought that Han Lie would agree with their proposition, Han Lie vetoed their proposal.

"Listen to me, both of you." Han Lie waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Sun Ce is a tiger, but it is just a tiger, the two may not know, Sun Ce has a younger brother, named Sun Quan, the word Zhongmou, this person has a talent and strategy, in the past, Sun Wentai once said that this son is the son of the Sun Qilin, but what can be done?" As the saying goes, the times create heroes, and people will win the sky, no matter how the Sun brothers are favored by the mandate of heaven, who let them meet me? ”

"Because I will let the invincible military might, tell them that in front of me, even the dragon must be coiled, and the tiger must be lying down, otherwise they will only be met with a dead end." Han Lie waved his arrogant hand, and said with a majestic face: "Zhang Yun's lone army goes deep into Jingshui, it is the best opportunity to eat him, after eating Zhang Yun, let's use Zhang Yun's soldier talisman to transfer Liu Panwen and other generals in the army, and take advantage of the situation to take it in one fell swoop." ”

"In this way, Liu Biao's army in Nanjun will be in our hands, and then we will borrow the banner of Zhang Yun or Liu Pan, all the way to Xiangyang, and open the gate of Xiangyang, if this plan is successful, the heart of Jingzhou will be in my hands, and then we will concentrate our forces, advance to Jingnan, and drive the Sun Ce brothers to Jiaozhou step by step, so that they can ruthlessly harm Jiaozhou."

"If the lord's plan succeeds, it is expected that in less than a month, Liu Biao will inevitably become our subordinate prisoner." Xun You thought about it, but he couldn't help but agree with Han Lie's point of view.

Guo Jia sat next to the stove, stretched out his hand to bake the charcoal fire, but he was keenly aware that Han Lie seemed to have a feeling that the Sun Ce brothers obviously had a way to live, in order to confirm his thoughts, he said tentatively: "Although Jiaozhou is regarded as a barren land by the Central Plains, but as far as I know, Zhao Tuo, the general of the early Han Dynasty, once founded the country in Panyu and called the king, and the transmission of the throne was not until the death of Emperor Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty, coupled with the development of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, Jiaozhou's current population is only afraid of more than one million, not to mention, there are some prosperous places, I'm afraid that there are no more Jingnan counties. ”

"If the lord drives the Sun Ce brothers south, won't he let the tiger return to the mountain and give them a chance to make a comeback?"

"Comeback? This thing is not so easy, doesn't Fengxiao know that Jiaozhou is now the world of the Shixie brothers? The Shixie brothers, each occupying the county and county, set up their own defense, and already controlled the military and political power of the entire Jiaozhou, which is no different from ceding land and claiming to be king. Sun Ce brothers are not willing to be subordinate, as long as Sun Ce brothers defect to the past, as long as we block the exit of Wuling, after a long time, the two will inevitably have a dragon fight, no matter who wins, they will inevitably surrender to me, otherwise I will send a large army to press the border, so that they feel a sense of crisis. ”

Han Lie smiled faintly and said: "But there is one thing, Fengxiao, your premonition is not wrong, for the Sun Ce brothers, I do have the heart to let them go, not because I have a good impression of them, but because General Sun Wentai in the past is kind and robe-like, I dare not forget it." Although it was impossible to avoid the sword soldiers meeting because of their different positions, Lie did not want to raise the butcher's knife and kill the Sun Ce brothers one day. ”

"Drive them to Jiaozhou, not only to give them a way out, but also to give them a chance, you should also know that the Rinan County under the rule of Jiaozhou is now occupied by the Linyi Kingdom in the south, and a part of Jiuzhen County also fell into the hands of the Funan Kingdom, most of them are occupied by the Zhenla Kingdom, these two counties are all our Han ancestors to expand the territory, but now it has fallen into the hands of foreign races, Lie is really quite unwilling, but the Central Plains is chaotic, Lie is impossible to expedition thousands of miles, and I drove Sun Ce's brothers to the south, It is not only to give them a way to live, but also to hope that one day, they will be able to establish the royal court of our Han Dynasty in the vast land of the south and spread the glory of our Han Dynasty all over the world. ”

"The lord is far-sighted, I can't wait." Knowing Han Lie's foresight, Xun You and Guo Jia were convinced, but they also understood why Han Lie wanted to let Sun Ce go, it was obvious that Han Lie did not have much hostility towards Sun Ce's brothers, and the war was just forced by the current situation, and it was better to drive them to the south and let them go to the south to establish a kingdom belonging to the Han people and establish a prosperous dynasty of the Han people, than to give up the vast land in the south to those barbarians of different races in Southeast Asia.

After deciding on the strategy for dealing with Sun Ce's brothers, Han Lie immediately summoned all the generals to the big tent and said, "Gongming, Zilong, Zhongkang, you lead the Red Flame Army to set off immediately, rush to the front line of Jingguan to intercept Zhang Yun's fleet, remember not to let one person or one boat pass. ”

"Whoa." Xu Huang, Zhao Yun, and Xu Chu happily took the order.

"Ordered Tai Shi Ci of Wulin Dao to move closer to Jingguan, and be sure to capture the checkpoint before the army arrives." Immediately afterwards, Han Lie arranged for Ding Feng to send someone to Tai Shici to send a military order.

"Gong Yi, leave 5,000 men and horses to stay in the Chibi camp, and the rest of the naval army will immediately set off and pursue Zhang Yun along Jingshui." Han Lie looked at Jiang Qin and ordered, and said, "Old Dian, the big camp is left behind by you, but all affairs must be decided by the two military advisors, and you can't make your own decisions." ”

"Whoa." Jiang Qindianwei hurriedly got up and responded.

Two hours later, Han Lie boarded Jiang Qin's Wuya battleship Yulong, and together with Jiang Qin, he led 15,000 naval troops and horses into the waters of Jingshui and pursued Zhang Yun's troops who were heading towards Jiangling.

Taking the land route from Chibi, although it is farther than Huarong to Jiangling, but taking the waterway from Huarong to Jiangling is a countercurrent, the speed of the ship is not much faster, more than 20,000 people and horses of the Red Flame Army Department, under the command of Xu Huang, Zhao Yun and Xu Chu, traveled day and night, and it only took two days to arrive at Jingguan.

And Tai Shici, who led the cavalry to Wulin Road one step earlier, was closer to Jingguan, so when he received the news from the fast horse, Tai Shici led the army to Jingguan as soon as possible.

Jingguan is a pass built by the Chu State in the pre-Qin era, so it is also called Chu Pass. After the transfer of years, now this pass, has long lost its original military role, now just as a supply market town in the upper reaches of Jingshui, due to the developed water conservancy, this town with thousands of people, but also quite prosperous.

There were no soldiers and horses stationed in Jingguan, and there were only more than 100 errand soldiers and local township stewards in the market town.

Jing water flows under Jing Pass, seemingly splitting a towering mountain in half, and a jade belt of turquoise intersperses through the middle. After occupying Jingguan, Tai Shici immediately requisitioned local people and blacksmiths, cut down trees against time, and piled up a large number of stones on the mountains on both sides of Jingshui, and built Hengjiang iron chains, and set up obstacles on Jingshui.

When the 20,000 Red Flame Army led by Xu Huang and the three of them arrived at Jingguan, they were only half a day ahead of Zhang Yun, if it weren't for Tai Shici's prior arrangement, this time the attack was very likely to fail.

The naval army led by Han Lie and Jiang Qin, who were chasing Zhang Yun in the rear, also ran aground shortly after entering the Jingshui water surface because of the huge hull of the Wuya battleship.

The naval troops led by Zhang Yun arrived in the waters of Jingguan at noon. Facing the warm spring sun, Zhang Yun, who was lying on the bed that penetrated Hu, was covered with a tiger skin coat, and when he closed his eyes slightly and enjoyed the kneading and massage of the two maids on the left and right, suddenly because of a bump in the hull, a maid who was standing in front of him kneading and serving the maid's body staggered, and the center of gravity was unstable.

", do you have to murder me? Someone dragged it down and cut it down. Zhang Yun, who was covered by the maid's dress, struggled to jump up, frightened and angry, he rolled down on the deck of the bow of the ship in embarrassment, only to break free and stand up, and in anger, he kicked the maid who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing and begging for mercy to the ground.

"Smack!" Just when the two maids were escorted by the sergeant who pounced on them to leave, a gust of wind blew, and the flagpole on the bow of the ship was blown off at once, and the arm-thick flagpole and the flag slipped and fell, and happened to cover Zhang Yun's head, and Zhang Yun was in a hurry.

"Bastard thing, where and what to do, don't hang up the handsome flag." Zhang Yun angrily scolded a group of scrambling sergeants, and returned to the cabin coldly, Liu Xian, who heard the news, saw that when he saw Zhang Yun, he saw that his face was full of anger, and he couldn't help but gasp.

"Liu Changshi, you must know what happened just now, how can I have a bad premonition." Zhang Yun glanced at Liu Xian, and a trace of palpitations passed through his heart, and he couldn't help but ask hesitantly.

"The handsome flag is innocently broken, this is a bad omen, there are still two hundred miles to Jiangling, I am afraid that the future may not be peaceful." Liu Xian pondered for a while, but did not tell the truth, as a master of scriptures, he also dabbled in the study of the I Ching Huang Lao, judging from Zhang Yun's face just now, Liu Xian could almost conclude that Zhang Yun was only afraid that it would be difficult to escape.

"I have nearly 20,000 troops in hand, how dare I dare to come, I will definitely tell him to go and never return." Zhang Yun's face sank, and as soon as the words fell, there was a sudden sound of drums and trumpets in front of him, followed by a deafening shout of killing.

"Whoosh...... The next moment, even Zhang Yun, who was hiding in the cabin, heard the sound of arrows breaking the wind from the sky, and the arrows fell on the cabin immediately, and some shot directly into the cabin.

The miserable howl of "fire, fire......" was also played out between the ships.

"What's going on?" Zhang Yun looked at the rocket that fell on the window with a pale face, and when it burned under the wind, he couldn't help but be a little confused, and only after a while did he ask a little discolored.

Liu Xian didn't expect that the ambush would come so quickly, and in surprise, he picked up a shield, pulled Zhang Yun and shouted: "General, quickly, go to the lower deck of the cabin to hide." ”

"Roll the wood!" On the Jingguan Mountain Pass, Xu Chu saw that Zhang Yun's fleet had completely fallen into the firing range of the rocket, and the fleet in front of him had also entered the chain of the barrage.

The dense fire oil rolled into the river like a mountain and a sea, forming a sea of fire in an instant, and then the ships of Zhang Yunsuo's department in front of him were also ignited. On the river surface in early spring, the cold wind howled, and the wind helped the fire, and in a moment, on the huge river, billowing smoke wafted, and the fleets of ships for several miles burned one after another.

Jingshui is seventeen or eight zhang wide, the depth of the water is two zhang, but the shallow place is only about three feet, Zhang Yun's fleet of sailors, seeing the fire burning, in order to survive, jumped from the boat into the river, fluttering on the cold water to flee for their lives.

Zhang Yun jumped on a fighting ship for the first time under the escort of his own soldiers, but unfortunately, due to the soldiers rushing to flee for their lives, the small boat that could only take three or five people was finally crowded with dozens of people at once, and suddenly the boat was overturned, directly pressing Zhang Yun to the bottom of the water, and directly drowned in the water.

Liu Xian on the boat, because he was a scribe, but he failed to rob Zhang Yun's personal soldiers just now, and he was stranded on the ship, but he escaped by luck, until the end of the battle, Liu Xian, who was hiding in the corner of the ship that was burning more than half and was about to sink, was rescued by Han Lie's department who led the navy.

This ambush was undoubtedly a complete victory, Zhang Yun's more than 16,000 men and horses, more than 6,000 people were killed, 10,000 were captured alive, and Han Lie's department was killed and wounded only more than 300 people, and most of the dead and wounded sergeants were salvaging the enemy, and they were killed and wounded when the boat capsized in the wind and waves.

The reason why such a big victory was achieved was that it was unexpected, second, because he took advantage of the dangerous terrain on both sides of Jingguan, and third, because the enemy general Zhang Yun was not prepared at all, so he was caught off guard.

The accompanying generals Zhang Yun, Chen Sheng and Zhang Hu were also killed by the naval army led by Jiang Qin when they fled, and Lu Jie wisely chose to surrender, and Liu Xian, who was rescued, was amazed when he learned that the ambushed men and horses were Han Lie's Jiangdong soldiers and horses, and couldn't help but sigh: "The general trend is gone." ”

Subsequently, under Han Lie's personal reception and soothing words, Liu Xian felt Han Lie's courtesy, so he expressed his intention to surrender, and presented Zhang Yun's talisman token to Han Lie.

"Shizong, how many soldiers and horses are there in Xiangyang now? If I lead an army to open the city gates, can I capture Xiangyang in one fell swoop? When Han Lie met Liu Xian, he stroked the Zhang Yunbing talisman in his hand and asked with a straight face.

Liu Xian hesitated for a moment, and when he confirmed that Han Lie was not joking, he said: "There are 50,000 horses stationed outside Xiangyang City, and the general of the unified army is Cai Mao, but the battalion usually has deputy generals Cai Zhong and Cai He, and there are still 15,000 men and horses in the inner city, which are composed of Liu Biao's own soldiers, except for Liu Biao's tiger talisman, no one can mobilize this army and horses, if the general wants to take Xiangyang, it is obviously impossible to achieve the goal of opening the city gate, in my opinion, if you want to capture Xiangyang, the only way is to eliminate or take over the troops outside the city first."
