Lu Dai Dong Xi learned from the mouth of the county lord that the soldiers in Changsha and the large and small counties were all collected by Zhang Xiu in Changsha City, leaving only a small number of soldiers to contact intelligence to maintain law and order.

"Zhang Xiu's move is to make Changsha a lonely city," the next day Lu Dai Dong Xi decided to drive straight to Changsha City, on the way to the march, Lu Dai sighed to Dong Xi, "If someone adopts the policy of besieging but not attacking and occupying all the county seats, I am afraid Zhang Xiu can only surrender without a fight." ”

"Hmph, he saw that our Lord Sun Ce wanted to directly dominate Jiangnan, and he didn't have time to spend with him." Dong Xi said.

Lu Dai also followed to praise Sun Ce, Sun Ce is really good as the lord, he directly unified Jiangdong by force, he is young and arrogant, but he is not harsh and tyrannical, he is not addicted to wine, and his entertainment is to go out hunting.

"Wait," Lu Dai stopped, turned and called the marching team to gather.

"Are any of you in Changsha City?" Lu Dai asked all the soldiers solemnly.

Dozens of soldiers bowed their heads in shame, either automatically or pushed out.

"It's not difficult for me to be sorry for you, you take off your Jiangdong military uniform and disband on the spot." Lu Dai said tepidly.

"General." One of the soldiers was still wailing and begging for mercy, but was stopped by a young man next to him. The young man walked up to Lu Dai and said: "General Sun is in command of Jiangdong, General Lu leads the army to be benevolent and righteous, I, Hao Zhao, originally wanted to make a name for myself in Jiangdong, but temporarily settled in Changsha City, and I can only meet the Jiangdong army again." ”

Lu Dai looked at Hao Zhao with appreciative eyes, nodded and let them leave in the direction of Changsha. Lu Dai is worthy of being a veteran, and the attack on Changsha is imminent, so he must disperse the soldiers who are home in Changsha, so as not to disturb the morale of the army.

Hao Zhao, a military general of Wei in the middle of the Three Kingdoms, once defended Zhuge Liang's offense, good at defense, and is only 16 years old now, but he has a beard under his snort, which is quite a bit of a middle-aged man.

・・・・・・

At this time, in the mansion of the city lord of Changsha, Zhang Xiuzheng convened a meeting of the generals.

"Mr. Jia, how can you resist Sun Ce?" Zhang Xiu asked Jia Xu.

"This, the young master should have a plan." Jia Xu glanced at Zhang Quan.

"Okay, Quan'er, you ordered the evacuation of all the troops in the counties, and now that Sun Ce is driving straight to Changsha, what can you do?" Zhang Xiu turned to me and said.

"Someone," I called out to the guards outside the door.

"Here." Come in a soldier.

"Rush to Wuling and inform General Zhao Yun. Let him lead the newly formed 5,000 cavalry to Changsha, don't be in too much of a hurry, and treat the march as training. Zhang Quan said. Although the Wuling cavalry had only just been formed, the soldiers were not good at riding horses, but they were proficient in riding horses for hundreds of miles.

"Yes." The soldier turned and went down.

"When Zhao Yun's 5,000 cavalry suddenly came to lead and launched a charge on the vast plain outside Changsha City, Sun Ce's army would be almost defeated. All that remains for us to do is to guard Changsha when Zhao Yun's cavalry comes. ”

Zhang Quan paused, swept the crowd, and said:

"Of course, what I said is too much, everyone here has led troops to fight for a long time, even if there is no cavalry of Zhao Yun. With our 12,000 soldiers in Changsha City, we can still defeat Sun Ce. ”

"Jia Xu listens to orders." Suddenly, Zhang Quan's voice became louder and said.

"Yes." Although the middle-aged Jia Xu was a strategist, he looked like a military general, and replied crisply.

"You lead Baolong Chen Ying to ambush the Jiangdong soldiers with 5,000 soldiers." After a pause, he said, "As for where and how to ambush, it's up to the gentleman." Not to defeat the enemy, but to hit the morale of the Jiangdong army. ”

After Jia Xu listened to the order, he led Bao Long Hu Che'er to reorganize the soldiers and horses.

"Judging from the intelligence, Sun Ce sent Dong to attack Lu Dai to attack Changsha first, and he himself was still in Chaisang. Although Dong Xi and Lu Dai are all generals, their martial arts are not very good. Dong attacked Lu Dai and continued to attack Changsha after being ambushed by Mr. Jia, at this time, his father could lead Xing Daorong and Hu Che'er to line up outside the city gate, and tell the soldiers to shout before the battle. Dong attacked Lu Dai and went head-to-head to lose morale, and not fighting would also damage morale. Although the Jiangdong soldiers have higher combat effectiveness than our Jiangnan soldiers, they are still easy to rout if they lack morale. Zhang Quan said slowly.

Zhang Xiu listened with a slightly sloppy gaze, and saw that he had nothing to say, and said boredly:

"Then do what Quan'er says, and I'll go with you too."

・・・・・・

It is said that Dong Xi Lu Dai had to bypass Yuelu Mountain when he was close to Changsha, and the left side was the avenue, which was remote; On the right side is a trail, which is near, but the road is set between the mountains on both sides, and the trees are grouped, so it is easy to set up ambushes.

"General Dong, let's march from the left avenue. The lord only taught us to arrive at the siege of Changsha, and we didn't care about the time of the march. Lu Dai looked at the two roads, one wide and one narrow, and said to Dong Xi.

"Eh, I think the lord is looking at this embroidery, you see that he does not set up troops to defend every county, and at first glance he is a person who can't fight. Why don't we directly capture Changsha and ask the Lord for credit. Dong Xi said.

"Zhang Xiu's strength in fighting with Cao Cao should not be bad, but after he surrendered to Cao Cao, he turned back, so his ability must not be very good. But I think it's better for us to march cautiously. Lu Dai pondered and said.

"Then I'll take the small road and take Changsha directly, and when the time comes, Brother Dinggong won't compete with the kid."

"That's all it can be." Lu Dai said helplessly.

When Dong Xi thought that he could capture Changsha County with only 5,000 men and horses, he couldn't help but feel excited in his heart, urging the soldiers to speed up the march. There are no high mountains in the south of the Yangtze River, and the path of Yuelu Mountain is not as dangerous as in Shuzhong, with mountains on one side and cliffs on the other; The path of Yuelu Mountain is an abandoned river channel sandwiched by the rolling hills on both sides, although the path is not small, the hills on both sides are nearly 100 steps apart, and the lush and tall trees grow in a disorderly manner, and the dazzling sunlight of early summer hits the layers of leaves, and the verdant fragrance of the trees wafts in the air with the scattered sunlight.

Dong Xianjun was originally walking in a long line on a narrow road among the woods, but seeing that the march was too slow, he shouted loudly:

"Hurry up, spread out and run through the bushes, don't worry about the formation."

The soldiers freely shuttled among the chaotic trees, and the fresh fragrance of the trees rippled with the sweat they sprinkled on the ground, and suddenly felt that the march was also a kind of enjoyment.

The sky gradually darkened, and Dong Xianjun gradually passed through the canyon, under the illumination of the red fire clouds, Dong Xian stood on the high ground and saw the avenue surrounded by various trees, and then looked west along this avenue, and vaguely saw a city.

"Brothers, Changsha City is ahead, let's set up camp under Changsha City, and we will attack Changsha City tomorrow." The Chaisang soldiers ran in the shade of the trees all day, not tired at all, and became excited when they heard Dong Xi's shouting.

The sun was sinking to the ground, and the sky suddenly darkened, and the pale moonlight shone on the tired trees after absorbing the sun, like a layer of haze.

Dong Xian, who was standing at the exit of the canyon, suddenly found that the hills on both sides lit up, and only heard a penetrating command: "Set fire." The sound became vague after hundreds of steps of air transmission, but at this moment, Dong Xun was really deafening when he heard it, and he shouted with all his might:

"Boys, run along the road in the direction of Changsha, and we will gather under Changsha City."

But before he could finish shouting, he threw hundreds of torches pouring slow fire oil from the hills on both sides, and shot nearly a thousand rockets, hitting the lush trees, and the forest sea instantly turned into a sea of fire.

Dong Xi's words were drowned out in the shouts and footsteps of the soldiers scurrying around, and the raging sea of fire.
