(Today, I said that I went to exercise as usual, and I will make a big chapter.) The 3,000 elite soldiers led by Liu Feng unexpectedly appeared in the public security, and the fleet pretending to be a merchant ship smoothly entered the public security wharf, and the 3,000 elite soldiers burst out, crushing the 2,000 sailors of the Jiang Waterproof Battalion in one fell swoop.

Although Liu Feng's blow had been quite rapid, because there was still a barrier outside the public security city, Shiren was given the opportunity to close the city gates.

After seizing the water camp, Liu Feng did not rush to attack, he only had 3,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and it was obviously not in line with the art of war to attack the public security fortified city with a one-to-one offensive and defensive ratio.

The next time, after Ma Tan's follow-up soldiers and horses arrived in the public security, the two armies converged, totaling more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and Liu Feng then entered the army under the public security city, and surrounded the entire city.

Shiren in the city was worried, facing this protrusion, like a strange soldier falling from the sky, all Shiren could do was to try his best to suppress the panic of the soldiers, looking forward to the moment when Guan Yu's reinforcements returned.

However, to Shiren's surprise, although the enemy soldiers, who were several times his size, surrounded the city like iron barrels, they did not rush to attack the city.

While the siege was complete, an enemy messenger went straight to the moat and called for the door, claiming to have come to deliver the message on the orders of Ma Tan.

Shiren did not know what the enemy meant, so he ordered the messenger to be put into the city, and on the tower of the northern city, Shiren received the envoy very politely.

"General Shi, General Ma Youchang has a letter to be forwarded to the general, please take a look."

The messenger presented Ma Tan's handwriting, and Shiren first ordered to see the tea to entertain the envoy, and then the silk book was opened and looked at it carefully, and when he looked at it, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

It was a letter of surrender.

In the letter, Ma Jian analyzed the pros and cons of surrender and defense for Shiren in detail, and Ma Jian promised in the letter that as long as Shiren gave up resistance and surrendered the city, Liu Feng, the general of Zhennan, would not only have a heavy reward, but also give him a promotion to the knighthood.

At the same time as Eli lured him, Ma Tan also threatened that if he was stubborn and did not surrender, the army would attack the city and cause him to be destroyed and killed.

In the war, this kind of siege and persuasion to surrender is not uncommon, although Ma Tan's letter of persuasion is not unusual, but only threats and inducements are not enough to induce Shiren to surrender.

However, at the end of the letter, Ma Tan mentioned an old incident that deeply frightened Shiren's heart.

What Ma Tan mentioned was the Battle of Linxiang that made Shiren unbearable.

In that battle, it was obvious that Guan Yu was a trick and made a mistake in using his troops, but Shiren, who was ordered to act, was punished with a military stick for no reason, which not only greatly damaged his prestige in the army, but also left an internal injury to his waist.

Now, Guan Yu ordered him Shiren to guard the public security, but without realizing it, Liu Fengjun cracked the surveillance system of the beacon tower, attacked the public security city in one fell swoop, and killed 2,000 naval troops almost bloodlessly, and captured hundreds of naval warships.

No matter how Liu Fengjun did such a surprise attack, until now, Shiren can't escape the responsibility of dereliction of duty after all, even if he guards the public security city, in the end, Guan Yu, who boasts of military law, will still be punished for his crimes.

Ma Yan's words and sentences deeply pierced the sore spot in Shiren's heart, recalling the horror of being almost beheaded, as well as the pain endured by the fifty soldiers, Shiren's heart once again swelled with deep fear.

"General Shi, as the so-called one who knows the times is a handsome man, return to the Ming Lord, or continue to work for Guan Yu, an arrogant fanatic who does not know how to sympathize with his subordinates, and ask the general to think twice."

To make Shiren's expression hesitate, he lost no time in persuading again.

"Guan Yu, Guan Yu ......"

Shiren clutched the surrender silk book tightly in his hand, and a flame of resentment burst out in his eyes.

Outside the public security city, the soldiers are numerous, and under the sunshine, the frightening cold light is reflected.

At this moment, Liu Feng is commanding his army to be deployed outside the public security city, showing off his might and preparing to attack the city at any time.

History is always such a coincidence, in the past, Guan Yu was because of the wrong use of Shiren to guard the public security, and as a result, the public security fortified city built by Liu Bei was broken without a fight.

Now, many things have changed, but Guan Yu's employment strategy has not changed, it is precisely because he heard that the public security city guard will be Shiren, so Liu Feng will be extremely confident in attacking the public security.

However, the person who took the first step to propose to write a letter to surrender was Ma Yan.

"Youchang, do you say that this Shiren will be moved by you?" Liu Feng looked at the police and asked, he was very interested in the reason why Ma Jian offered this plan.

Ma Tan smiled contemptuously and said confidently: "When Linxiang surrendered, I had a short contact with this Shiren, as far as I know, although this person has been following Guan Yu for a long time, but in fact he is a cowardly and afraid of death, plus he has suffered Guan Yu's heavy responsibility before, there must be complaints in his heart, and with a two-pronged approach, I expect him to surrender." ”

What Ma Jian said is exactly what Liu Feng thinks.

"Guan Yu was born in the grass people, although he is very arrogant, but in my opinion, that extreme arrogance is not so much self-confidence, but not a kind of inferiority complex for his bad background. Inferiority to the extreme, it became pride, and this pride made him very contemptuous of those soldiers who were born stronger than him, but who were now subservient to him, and on the contrary, he was very kind to those soldiers who were of the same origin as him. ”

Ma Yan's thorough analysis of Guan Yu really surprised Liu Feng, in fact, he also tried to understand Guan Yu's great enemy, but it was limited to knowing that Guan Yu has always been a "slow doctor and a heavy soldier", but he did not have an in-depth analysis of the causes of Guan Yu's surname, but he didn't want Ma Jian to know this beautiful bearded man so well.

Ma Tan's voice did not fall, but when he saw the front line of the public security city, the city gate suddenly opened, and the drawbridge was lowered, and he saw a military general who was not wearing a pendant followed the messenger out of the city together.

Ma Tan laughed and said, "Lord, look, that Shiren is here." ”

As he expected, Shiren really surrendered without a fight.

Liu Feng was very happy in his heart, and immediately patted the horse to the front of the battle, Na Shiren ran forward, rolled the saddle and dismounted, and bowed to the ground: "The last general Shiren visited Liu Zhennan, if Zhennan does not give up, the last general is willing to go to the soup for the general and never give up." ”

These generous words on the lips could not change Liu Feng's contempt for Shiren, despite this, Liu Feng still pretended to be thirsty for talent, and was busy jumping off the horse, helping Shiren himself, touching his shoulder and comforting: "Zishan understands righteousness, it is really valuable, I have nothing to be happy about in the public security, I am happy to get Zishan, a general." ”

Ma Tan also stepped forward and smiled: "Zishan, it's been a long time." Now that you and I are colleagues, I am here to say sorry to you. ”

Shiren knew that Ma Jian was a celebrity before Liu sealed the account, how could he dare to accept his apology, and hurriedly said: "At that time, each was his master, how could he apologize." But now it is said that a letter from Youchang woke me up, and I decided to surrender to the Lord, I should thank Youchang for that. ”

After politely complimenting each other for a while, Liu Feng then ordered Ma Tan to lead an army of 5,000 troops to enter the public security city, take over the public security city defense, appease the people, and begin to reorganize the 3,000 soldiers and horses under Shiren.

Liu Feng himself, together with Chen Zhi and Shiren, led the remaining 5,000 soldiers and horses, according to the prior plan, crossed the river by boat, and went straight to the important town of Jiangling on the north bank.

……………… Gangneung, dusk.

The irascible south wind crudely walked through the streets, blowing up the loess on the ground, raising it into the sky and scattering it down.

The clouds covered it, and the heavens and the earth were gloomy.

There was no one on the streets of Gangneung, and the doors of the houses were closed, and the whole city was as silent as death.

Mi Zhu rode his horse down the street, and he could feel countless frightened, frightened eyes peeking out through the crack in the door.

The news of the Changsha army's raid on Gong'an City soon spread back to Jiangling, which was across the river, and this appalling news shocked the people of the whole city, and almost overnight, the originally prosperous and lively city became a "ghost town" shrouded in dark clouds.

Ascending the city gate, Mi Zhu put his hand on the canopy, overlooking the direction of the river bank, many people living outside the city are withdrawing to Jiangling City with their families, and more than 1,000 river defense troops along the river camp are also on the way to retreat back to the city.

At present, Mi Zhu only has 3,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and the chaotic information makes it impossible for him to know how many men and horses there are in the Changsha army that raided the public security, but he knows that the public security is only an outpost battle, and Liu Feng's spearhead will soon be directed at Jiangling.

With only 3,000 soldiers and horses, how can he prevent the enemy from attacking the north bank, all Mi Zhu can do now is to concentrate the existing forces and retreat to Jiangling City.

"Is there any update on the public security taxi general?" Mi Zhu asked anxiously.

Gong'an City is the only place to go south to Wuling, if the public security is captured by Liu Feng, then it is equivalent to cutting off the road for Guan Yu's main force to return to the north, and now Mi Zhu is not afraid of whether Liu Feng will lead the army to attack Jiangling, but is worried about whether the public security can hold it.

"The Changsha army has besieged the public security city, and we have lost contact with the public security since yesterday."

The response from the left and right made Mi Zhu shiver, Mi Zhu had always been skeptical about the ability of this Shiren, but Mi Zhu, as the Taishou of Nanjun, had no right to decide Guan Yu's dispatch of troops.

"After the Jiang defense army withdraws into the city, immediately close the gates, and no one is allowed to enter the city." Mi Zhu ordered categorically.

"But my lord, there are still many people outside the city who have not withdrawn into the city, and it is ...... to close the gate so soon?"

Before he could speak, Mi Zhu waved his hand and shouted: "Now that the situation is urgent, what if the enemy's annihilation takes the opportunity to sneak into the city, you don't need to ask more, just act according to the order." ”

In the evening, Gangneung City and the Middle Gate were closed, and thousands of civilians gathered around the four gates, begging to open the door and let them take refuge, but Mi Zhu was indifferent and strictly ordered not to open the door. Tens of thousands of people were denied access to the city, and when night came, they scattered and fled.

Zhuge Mansion.

At this moment, the ugly-looking woman was pacing back and forth in the hall.

The news that the Changsha army hit the public security made the entire Zhuge Mansion nervous, in order to prevent anyone from taking advantage of their lives to do evil, Huang Yueying has ordered the door of the mansion to be closed, and all servants and maids are not allowed to enter and exit without authorization.

When night fell, there was a sound of light and rapid footsteps outside the courtyard, and I heard the family shouting, "Madam, the second lady is here." ”

A stone in Huang Yueying's heart suddenly fell to the ground, and she calmed down her anxious mood slightly, pretended to make an indifferent expression, opened the door and walked out slowly.

"Sister." Sister Huang Yuemei came to her face, and her beautiful face was obviously a little nervous, and when she saw Huang Yueying, the uneasiness faded slightly.

The situation in Jiangling City is complicated, Huang Yueying heard the news of the public security accident, and immediately sent someone to pick up her sister to come to the house, her father lives in the countryside, and she entrusted this sister to herself, if something goes wrong, she doesn't know how to explain to her father Huang Chengyan.

The two sisters entered hand in hand, and after a cup of hot tea, Huang Yuemei's nervousness gradually subsided.

"Sister, if that Liu Feng enters Jiangling City, what should we do?" Huang Yuemei asked worriedly.

Huang Yueying sneered and said disdainfully: "The Jiangling city wall is high and thick, and Mi Zizhong is in charge of the overall situation, even if the surname Liu Feng comes with troops, he doesn't want to break through the city, sister, you don't have to worry." ”

Huang Yue's frowning eyebrows slowly loosened, but she sighed again: "I can't imagine that this Liu Feng is not so simple, sister, I'm afraid that you and your father were wrong back then." ”

"My father's decision back then was not wrong, with the same identity as the surname Liu, if you marry him, it will not be good for our Huang family. It's just that I didn't expect this person to be so scheming that he would do such an unbelievable thing, even your brother-in-law never thought of it. ”

Although Huang Yueying was disdainful of Liu Feng on the surface, she couldn't hide the kind of "contempt" in her words.

Huang Yuemei sighed, and suddenly remembered something, "There is one thing, I haven't told my sister for so many years. Sister, do you remember that when you were in Xiakou, Liu Feng had not betrayed the lord at that time, and you had said something to me in the medical camp. ”

Huang Yueying's eyes were suspicious, and she nodded: "Yes, I remember that incident." ”

Huang Yuemei then said: "At that time, you just left on the front foot, and Liu Feng came on the back foot, I followed my sister's instructions and stayed away from him, but he said some very strange things, saying that this time he would give me a big gift when he went south to the second county of Xiangdong, and after that, he openly rebelled against the lord. I was thinking that he must have overheard our conversation at that time. ”

After hearing her words, Huang Yueying's face swelled up with a little haze.

"If he really heard our conversation and knew what my purpose was to deliberately approach him in the first place, he would definitely hold a grudge against us, and I was really worried about what would happen if he broke through Gangneung and our sisters fell into his hands."

Speaking of this, Huang Yuemei's eyes flashed with fear, and her weak body followed a cold war.

Huang Yueying was also scared in her heart, but as Zhuge Liang's wife, at such a critical moment, how could she show the slightest fear.

At that moment, she smiled faintly and said disapprovingly: "He heard it, he heard it, this Jiangling City is impregnable, even if he has the heart to retaliate, how can he help us." Now that the lord has taken Yizhou, it is a foregone conclusion, and when the time comes, the army of Shuzhong will return to the east, and then fight with General Yun Chang inside and outside, and destroy Liu Feng's effortlessness. ”

"Well, I hope it's as my sister said."

Huang Yuemei sighed, and there were still many worries between her eyebrows.

South Gate.

The cold wind rolled up in the middle of the night, and Mi Zhu shook his shoulders, hoping to use this action to drive away some of the cold.

Far away, the river waterproof camp that should have been brightly lit is already dark at the moment, and you can only hear the waves crashing on the shore one after another, which makes people have a peculiar and gloomy feeling, which will not disperse for a long time.

Since early in the morning, Mi Zhu has been staying on the front line of the south gate, personally commanding the soldiers to strengthen the city defense, preparing to deal with the next attack that Liu Fengjun's army may kill at any time.

After a hard day, Mi Zhu didn't even have time to eat.

There is no way, he has to work so hard, because when Liu Bei was leaving, he handed over Jiangling, the most important city in Jingzhou, to him, and most of the officials and soldiers lived in the city.

Seeing that the night was getting deep, Mi Zhu finally couldn't hold back his hunger and exhaustion, and prepared to go down to the city to rest first.

Just when Mi Zhu just turned around, the soldiers on the guard tower suddenly shouted a warning: "Strange feelings have been found in the direction of the water camp!" ”

Mi Zhu's slightly relaxed mood immediately raised to his throat again, and he threw himself to the female wall in a few steps, poked his head out and looked at the riverbank.

Sure enough, the abandoned camp, which was originally pitch black, suddenly raised many torches, and it was vaguely inferred that there seemed to be a troop of soldiers and horses landing.

"Could it be that Liu Feng was killed so quickly?"

Mi Zhu was shocked in his heart and immediately ordered the whole army to prepare for battle.

Under the gaze of a pair of restless eyes, a team of about thousands of people, holding torches high, hurried from the water camp towards Gangneung City. By the reflection of the firelight, it can be vaguely recognized as the armor banner of the own troops.

Mi Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, but he still didn't dare to be careless, he was worried that this sudden army of soldiers and horses was likely to be pretended to be the Changsha army and tried to deceive the city gate.

More than 1,000 soldiers and horses hurried, seemingly chaotic to the south gate, shouting through the moat to open the door and let them enter the city.

In the case that it was impossible to confirm the belonging of this army and horses, Mi Zhu could only order that the door should not be opened.

"Where is Mi Taishou, I am a public security guard, quickly open the city and let me in."

Directly below the city tower, Mi Zhu heard a fairly familiar voice, looking for prestige, only under the reflection of a torch, Mi Zhu really saw Shiren.

"General Shi, you don't guard the public security, why did you come to my Jiangling?" Mi Zhu was wary, but he still didn't dare to take it lightly.

The city corporal said loudly: "The Changsha army pretended to be a merchant ship and cracked the beacon tower along the river, and Liu Fengqin led tens of thousands of troops to suddenly kill the public security. There was a strong attack outside, and there was a detailed response inside, and I was invincible, so I had to lead the army out of the city to join Gangneung. Mi Taishou, Liu Feng's army will be killed immediately, let me enter the city, you and I can defend Jiangling with one prescription. ”

Shiren's explanation couldn't find any flaws, Mi Zhu glanced at it, and saw that Shiren still had about 2,000 soldiers under him, and if he joined forces, he would have more confidence to garrison Jiangling and wait for Guan Yu's army to return aid.

After thinking for a moment, Mi Zhu ordered the city gate to be opened and the defeated army of the public security army entered the city.

The drawbridge was lowered, the city gates were wide open, and more than thousands of grizzled defeated troops hurriedly entered. Mi Zhu came down to the city, came straight to Shiren, and said loudly in a reproachful tone: "General Shi, if you abandon the public security, it is equivalent to cutting off General Guan's way back, if General Guan ......"

Before he finished speaking, Mi Zhu's whole face turned pale in an instant, and his eyes widened, as if he had seen a ghost.

Behind Shiren, Liu Feng, who was carrying a silver gun, appeared and sneered: "Mi Zhu, we haven't seen each other for a long time. ”
