Chapter 21 Flowers Everywhere Lead the Snake Out of the Hole

"Bang! Bang! ”

In the hall of Jingzhou Mufu, Liu Biao dropped everything that could be dropped in front of him. Pen and ink, inkstones, and bamboo slips flew out one by one, and those kneeling in front of the table were Cai Mao and Kuai Yue, who didn't dare to come out of the atmosphere. How many years has Liu Biao not been so angry? Cai Mao doesn't remember the specific time very clearly. But since he became his brother-in-law, he has never seen him so mad.

"Whew!" Seeing that only his official seal was left on the table, Liu Biao couldn't get angry with it no matter how angry he was. With a hateful breath, Liu Biao sat down heavily. Looking at Cai Mao and Kuai Yue, who were kneeling on the ground in front of them, their buttocks pouting higher than their heads, Liu Biao sighed, and then said abruptly: "Get up!" ”

"Thank you, my lord!" Cai Mao and Kuai Yue knelt for a long time, and they staggered to their feet. "My Jingzhou army of 100,000 land and water attacked Jiangdong, why is this the end?" Liu Biao asked a little weakly. After Cai Mao and Kuai Yue cleaned up the remnants of the army, they found that there were only more than 50,000 people left, and the battle was lost too badly.

"Lord!" Kuai Yue automatically shut up as soon as he spoke, and he found that he really had nothing to say. Cai Mao didn't have so many worries about him, and said directly: "This time it was all caused by our paralysis and carelessness, lord, I am willing to raise another army and horse, fight Jiangdong again, and vow to capture Zhou Yu and Sun Quan alive!" ”

"Huh?" Liu Biao was noncommittal when he heard this. At this time, Kuai Yue's brother Kuai Liang on the side stepped forward and said: "Lord, the people and horses of Jingbei have not practiced for a long time, and their combat strength will inevitably be poor. Speaking of this, Kuai Liang also paused, and then said: "The only plan for today is to let General Liu Pan, who attacked Jiaozhou in Jingnan, lead the army to attack Jiangdong." General Liu has been in Jingnan for many years, and the generals of Jiangdong can no one except Zhou Yu. Besides, the six counties of Jiangdong are the foundation of the Sun family, so you only need to take these six counties and then take Jiaozhou Yier! The people of Jingbei still train for a few months, and then go to the battlefield after their morale recovers! ”

"That makes sense!" Liu Biao felt that Kuailiang's proposal still made some sense, and immediately ordered the transfer of the army to the south to attack Jiangdong. "Lord, if it weren't for the rescue of the Xuzhou Army this time, then Cai Dudu and Kuai Bei would be in danger, thank you!" The strategist Yi on the side also woke up.

"Uncle Ji is very right, come here, prepare 2,000 stone of grain, and send it to the Xuzhou army on the front line!" After Liu Biao arranged all this, he didn't wait for Cai Mao and the others to express any high opinions, and directly signaled them to retreat. "Big brother, why do you want Liu Pan to attack Jiangdong?" As soon as he went out, Kuai Yue asked his brother with some puzzlement. Liu Pannai is the nephew of Liu Cousin, and he has always lived in the Han family himself, and there are many discords with their two wealthy families, the Kuai clan and the Cai family. But Liu Pan is a brave man, and most of the generals in the army are friendly with him, which is the case in the past, and Cai Mao and others dare not force him too much. In order to prevent him from blindly fighting with Cai Mao and others, Liu Biao asked him to go to the four counties of Jingnan to preside over military affairs.

"Hehe, second brother. The Jiangdong army is brave and good at fighting, wouldn't it be better to let Liu Pan fight with them? Kuai Liang Yin Yin smiled and said, Kuai Yue and Cai Mao were both thoughtful when they heard this. Deku, Xenomorph. If there is chaos today, we must share weal and woe and help each other in the same boat, understand? Kuai Liang's tone was a little calm.

"That's right!" Kuai Yue and Cai Mao have always admired Kuai Liang's insight, and they both nodded heavily when they heard the words. At this time, in Lujiang City, Zhao Feng was preparing to march into the road after a few days, but unexpectedly learned that Liu Biao would continue to fight again. "Liu Jingsheng doesn't seem to be too cowardly!" Zhao Feng muttered in his heart, and he didn't know if Sun Quan and Zhou Yu had beaten him too badly, but it had awakened his youthful ambition a little more.

"General, Liu Jingzhou sent someone to send two thousand stone of grain, please check it." At this time, Hao Zhao came in to report. "I see!" When Zhao Feng heard the news, he also went out to see it in person. The population of Lujiang County is only more than 200,000, and naturally it cannot afford to support its own army of 100,000, so all the grain and grass are transferred from Xuzhou and Yuzhou, and the transportation is not easy.

"General Zhao, the grain is here, please check it!" A Jingzhou lieutenant saw Zhao Feng coming over and hurriedly stepped forward. "Liu Jingzhou is really polite, thank you for your hard work!" Zhao Feng also bowed his hand. Seeing that this lieutenant was already quite old, and nearly half of his hair was white, Zhao Feng's heart moved, and he asked tentatively: "I don't know who Your Excellency is?" ”

"Don't ask General Zhao, Huang Zhong, who is inferior to Nanyang, is the captain of General Liu Pan!" The middle-aged lieutenant smiled with a smile. When Zhao Feng heard this, his head suddenly "boomed": I didn't expect to meet Huang Zhong here! Finally, he has become more and more calm over the years, and although he is excited in his heart, his face has not changed at all. At the moment, he quickly calculated in his head: This Huang Zhong is still only a lieutenant, according to historical development, he should defect to Liu Bei in Changsha after eight years, should he poach now?

Must dig! Zhao Feng quickly made up his mind, and the smile on his face remained unchanged at the moment and continued: "Captain Huang has been in Jingxiang for a long time, and he wants to have a lot of contact with the Jiangdong Army over the years. Since Feng has been crusading against Jiangdong, he has felt that there is no one who is familiar with the military situation in Jiangdong, and I wonder if Huang Duwei is willing to come to help me? ”

"The general is invited, and he should obey his orders!" Huang Zhong was stunned when he heard this, he didn't know why this young general valued him so much, but he still readily agreed. At that moment, Zhao Feng wrote a letter to Liu Pan, informing him that Huang Zhong would return to the Xuzhou army. After getting Liu Pan's approval, Zhao Feng also immediately appointed Huang Zhong as the captain of the Pengdian Colonel of the Zhengnan General's Mansion to assist him in attacking Jiangdong. That night, a banquet was held to entertain Huang Zhong, and the generals were also invited to be present.

Gao Ran and the others were unconvinced when they saw that Zhao Feng was so serious about an old soldier. Huang Zhong didn't care when he saw this, and immediately asked people to carry his big knife and danced in front of the hall. For a while, seeing the cold wind swishing and the cold light shining, Gao Ran and the others were also Huijiazi, and after seeing Huang Zhong's sword technique, and then comparing it with his own martial arts, he suddenly felt a little apprehensive.

After dancing the knife, Huang Zhong was still unsatisfied, and ordered someone to bring two hard bows, but they were pulled together and pulled hard, and finally broke the two hard bows, and everyone was even more shocked at this time, so they all admired Huang Zhong for being old and strong, and even more admired Zhao Feng's insight.

"Liu Jingsheng doesn't know how to use people!" Like Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, who came from Jingzhou, felt a sense of sympathy, and shook his head again and again when he saw this. At this time, the road had begun to thaw gradually, and Zhao Feng also strictly ordered Zhang Liao and others stationed in the mouth of the river to pay attention to strictly guarding against the possible enemies of Danyang and Wu County. At the same time, Liu Pan led the army to garrison the west of the Ganjiang River, across the river from the Jiangdong Navy Dazhai. Zhou Yu originally wanted to return to the division to fight Zhao Feng again, but he knew that no one could be Liu Pan except himself, so he was forced to continue to garrison Yuzhang at the moment, so he could only strictly order the defenders of Chaisang and Poyang to pay attention to the movements of the Xuzhou army at the same time.

However, the Xuzhou army didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and it was steadily consumed in Lujiang, which surprised Zhou Yu a little, and even more disappointed Sun Yi, who was preparing for a big battle in Danyang City. "Yuan Sigong, now that the road is smooth after the beginning of spring, why is the Xuzhou army not moving?" In the Danyang Taishou Mansion, a heroic young man frowned and asked a middle-aged Confucian student. He is Sun Quan's third brother Sun Yi, surnamed Ganglie, quite similar to his brother Sun Ce, and he asked Gu Yong Gu Yuansi, who assisted him in guarding Danyang.

"The third prince is a little restless, the Xuzhou army is likely to wait for us to relax for a long time, and then suddenly launch a sneak attack." Gu Yong stroked his goatee and groaned. Without waiting for Sun Yi to say anything, Gu Yong grabbed a sentence and said: "The lord has an order, ordering us to stick to Danyang and never fight, don't let the third prince be embarrassed!" ”

"Mr. Gu said he was laughing!" Sun Yi also smiled a little awkwardly. Sun Yi's surname is strong, and it is okay for him to charge into battle, but it is not suitable to defend the city. However, Sun Quan did not dare to entrust it to others easily, so he had to order him to be stationed at the same time, and let the iron-faced and selfless Gu Yong in Pingyue come to supervise. It is clear that the two are only allowed to stick to it, and they are not allowed to take the initiative to fight. Sun Yi couldn't hold back and wanted to take the initiative several times, but was blocked by Gu Yong.

"Just wait for Zhou Dudu to defeat Liu Pan, and then you can return to the division and break the Xuzhou army again!" Gu Yong was also comforted. But he didn't want Sun Yi to face gloomy after hearing Zhou Yu's name. At this moment, suddenly a junior colonel ran to Sun Yi and Gu Yong out of breath and said, "My lord, Jurong County is an urgent official document!" After speaking, he handed over a document in his hand.

"The Xuzhou army has been dispatched?" Sun Yi and Gu Yong took the official document from the colonel's hand with some confusion, it stands to reason that if the Xuzhou army is dispatched, their own horses should not be able to detect the news.

"It is said that Qianshanyue suddenly attacked Jurong County, killed the county order and looted the warehouse!" Gu Yong read this official document briefly, which was sent by the county governor who did not die after the catastrophe. "Damn, Shanyue actually took advantage of the fire to rob at this time?" Sun Yi couldn't help but be furious when he heard this.

"It's strange, Shanyue usually goes down to the mountain to grab grain when the rice is ripe, why does it come out to make trouble now that spring has just begun?" Gu Yong thought about it a little and found that something was wrong.

"Could it be that it is snowing heavily in the spring this year, and it is difficult for the mountains to continue with food and clothing, so they will go down the mountain?" Sun Yi thought about it and put forward his own opinion.

"It's unlikely, last year's summer grain had already been harvested, and if Shanyue was short of food, he should have gone down the mountain at that time." Gu Yong frowned, and then said: "I think it's mostly because they saw that we were fighting with the Xuzhou army and had no time to take care of it, so they were unscrupulous!" ”

"Probably so!" Sun Yi also felt that only this truth made sense, and then said hatefully: "Even Shanyue dares to be so presumptuous, when the enemy army is retreated, I will personally ask the second brother for orders to exterminate Shanyue!" ”

"That's all there is to it!" Gu Yong also sighed when he heard this. At that moment, Gu Yong and Sun Yi sent urgent notices to the counties under Danyang's rule, telling them to be more vigilant and be careful that Shanyue took advantage of the fire to rob. But the counties are unguardable, and this Shanyue is now like a ghost, and it will come to which county at every turn. It must be known that the appearance of the Shanyue people is no different from that of the Han people, once they dress up as Han people and sneak into the city, they will suddenly attack, and at the same time cooperate with the outside brigade of people, and the defenders of a small county town really can't do anything about them. In just five or six days, six of the 15 counties under Danyang's rule and those with fewer defenders have been sacked by Shanyue. Sun Yi and Gu Yong were also so annoyed that they had to order all counties to temporarily impose martial law and not let people in.

"Report, my lord, Moling County emergency official document!" On this day, Sun Yi and Gu Yong were discussing in the mansion, and a small colonel came in breathless to report. When Sun Yi heard the word "Moling", he was immediately shocked, and hurriedly took the official document to watch, and his face was gloomy after reading it.
