The meeting was just about to get here, and suddenly the guards came in to report that there was important information delivered by the Jiangxia Yamen.

Liu Cong hurriedly ordered an interview, and then two scouts entered, and when they entered the door, they presented the information.

When Liu Cong opened it, he saw that the intelligence said that Jiangxia was guarding Huang Zu too much, and he was stabbed on the way back to Yamen from the riverside wharf at night, and he was stabbed in the left shoulder armor.

When Liu Cong saw it, he was taken aback, and hurriedly asked who the murderer was, and the scout said that more than a dozen murderers were lurking on the way back to the yamen of Huang Taishou, and after dinner, Huang Taishou rode a horse to the halfway point, and the murderer suddenly poured out and surrounded Huang Taishou and his party to kill.

After the guards killed the assassins, they hurriedly rescued Huang Taishou and returned to the dock barracks, allowing all the assassins to escape, leaving no trace.

Liu Cong asked about Huang Zu's injury and the garrison of Jiangxia, as well as the movements of Wu's army and the land and water army.

The scout replied that Huang Taishou had ordered the deputy general to lead 10,000 troops and set up a formation thirty miles east of Jiangxia City, and at the same time sent troops to block all passes, and ordered fifty ships of our army's naval division to anchor twenty miles out of the dock and closely watch the movements of Wu's naval division?????? So far, there has been no fighting between the land and water armies.

As soon as Liu Cong, the little overlord, heard this, he immediately realized that there must be a conspiracy hidden in the Eastern Wu army this time, although the conspiracy has not been shown at present, but it must be strictly guarded against, so he turned his face and ordered: "Uncle here immediately issued a notice to the yamen of all counties and counties and the garrisons in various places, ordering them to work as usual, while increasing vigilance to prevent the enemy from sabotage." ”

Liu Bei agreed,

Liu Cong also instructed: "Ordered Gan Ning to leave for the Jiangxia Naval Division on the same day, serve as the deputy commander of the Jiangxia Naval Division, and assist Huang Zu in defending against the attack of the Eastern Wu Naval Division.

ordered Wei Yan to lead 10,000 troops, and immediately rushed to the south bank of the Xiangjiang estuary to station, ready to listen to the tune,

ordered Zhao Yun to lead 10,000 troops, and immediately rushed to the north bank of the Xiangjiang estuary to station, ready to listen to the tune,

Ordered Zhang Yun to lead the main force of the Xiangjiang Naval Division to move to the mouth of the Xiangjiang River and station, block the Xiangjiang Estuary to the surface of the Yangtze River, and be ready to meet the main force of the Jiangxia Naval Division at any time. ”

After Liu Cong finished his instructions, he raised his head and said to Liu Bei: "Uncle from now on, he will strictly strengthen the public security work in Xiangyang, and the little nephew will immediately lead people to Jiangxia to organize all forces to defeat the attack of Eastern Wu." ”

Liu Bei agreed,

Liu Cong got up and went out and instructed Liang Zhu'er: "Order Mrs. Yuan to wait at the north gate of Xiangyang, go to Jiangxia with me, and at the same time tell Mrs. Cai that Jiangxia has urgent matters to deal with, and I am not in a hurry to go home to say goodbye." ”

Liang Zhu'er agreed to go first, and Liu Cong took the fat man and ten personal soldiers to go straight to the North Gate Wharf of Xiangyang.

??????

It turned out that after Lu Meng said goodbye to Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, he returned to the barracks, selected four subordinate officers, and selected five hundred scouts, and after more than ten days of training, he was ready to fight at any time.

When Zhou Yu told him that it was said that the two armies of Dongwu had arrived at the designated position, Lu Meng felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and thought to himself: "I, Lu Meng, only brought five hundred scouts, and it will turn Jingzhou upside down, so that Liu Biao's father and son will not dare to underestimate Dongwu from now on. ”

When Lu Meng thought of this, he immediately sent an order, and ordered Wang Yihu to lead a hundred troops, and immediately march to Jiangxia, and after arriving in Jiangxia, wait for the opportunity to complete the established combat mission.

Ordered Fu Da to lead a hundred troops, immediately march to Changsha, and after arriving in Changsha, wait for the opportunity to complete the established combat mission.

Ordered Zhou Zhi to lead 200 men and horses to move to the mouth of the Xiangjiang River immediately, waiting for an opportunity to complete the established battle plan.

Cheng Zhong was ordered to lead a hundred troops and follow the main general Lu Meng to act,

Before the above four soldiers and horses began to act, they all changed into Jingzhou soldiers' uniforms.

As soon as it gets dark, start moving,

The assassination of Jiangxia Taishou Huang Zu was done by the first Wu soldier sneak attack team arranged by Lu Meng, and the leader of this team was Wang Yihu.

After Wang Yihu led the troops into the back and outside of Jiangxia City, he hid in the inner line home, and sent plainclothes Wu soldiers to follow the inner line to the outside of the city in the morning and evening.

Wang Yihu chose a hidden place, ambushed twenty elite soldiers, and when Huang Zu came, he immediately assassinated.

At that time, because the sky was too dark, I couldn't see people's faces clearly, but fortunately, among Huang Zu and his party, only Huang Zu rode a horse by himself.

Wang Yihu looked kind, so he ordered ten Wu soldiers to rush out first, lure Huang Zu's guards away, see that the time had come, and rush up with ten Wu soldiers.

However, at this time, Huang Zu still had more than a dozen guards by his side, and as soon as the two sides took over, they were killed.

Wang Yihu didn't dare to fight, so he seized the opportunity, put on an arrow step, and stabbed Huang Zu in the chest, only to hear Huang Zu "Ahhhhhh

At this time, because the fight was too fierce and the shouting was loud, the alarmed domestic dogs from near and far bit and barked wildly.

When Wang Yihu looked at it, it seemed that there were reinforcements coming from Jiangxia City and the direction of the dock.

Wang Yihu remembered that the task behind him was not completed, so he shook his sword and led his troops to withdraw from the battle.

Watching the guards escort Huang Zu back to the horse's head from a distance, Wang Yihu returned to the battlefield, dragged the corpse of his Wu soldier down a dry well and threw it down, and then went to the inner line house to hide, preparing for the next move.

This Wang Yihu lived like this for a few days, and heard that Liu Cong came to Jiangxia in Jingzhou, and brought his wife Yuan Ying and more than a dozen personal soldiers, Wang Yihu was happy when he heard it, and decided to put the original task aside first, and waited for the opportunity to clean up Liu Cong, he said happily: "This is really a big fish, clean up Liu Cong, what, the world has changed." ”

This kid also knows which is bigger and which is smaller, so he waited like this, but unfortunately, Liu Cong has been living in the Sailor Wharf, which is heavily guarded, except for the immortals, other creatures, not to mention the Dongwu assassins, even mice and sparrows are difficult to get into, so this Wang Yihu is still waiting for the opportunity outside Jiangxia City.

Besides, after Liu Cong came to the Jiangxia Sailor Wharf, he came over to check on Huang Zu's injury, comforted Huang Zu, and gave him the knife sore medicine he brought, and introduced Gan Ning to Huang Zu.

When Huang Zu saw Gan Ning, because when Gan Ning had come to him before, he was rejected, so he was consciously embarrassed at this time, and said with a red face: "I want Huang Zu to be a martial artist, reckless by nature, I don't recognize the heroes of the world, I am ashamed of Gan Zhuangshi, and now my lord has accepted Gan Zhuangshi, which makes Huang very pleased, although Huang is reckless by nature, but he knows the way of being a subordinate, and now Jingzhou, which is managed by my lord, is like the rising sun, full of vitality, Huang Mou, as a veteran of the lord's family, how dare he not give up his life to serve the lord, Therefore, Huang was willing to hand over the military and political power of Jiangxia to Gan Zhuangshi, and was willing to accept Gan Zhuangshi's command and jointly contribute to the Lord. ”

Gan Ning listened, and was about to humbly resign, Liu Cong picked up the words and said: "At this time, I can't complain about Huang Taishou, it's all because Gan Ning's reputation is too loud, thousands of miles up and down the river, Gan Ning has brought thousands of mountains and wolves and water thieves to run rampant for more than ten years, just this kind of value, who dares to accept it easily, who knows what he thinks in his heart, not only Huang Taishou rejected Gan Ning, but also Jiangdong Sun Quan's brothers, and my father, didn't they all reject Gan Ning's defection,

So I don't complain about Huang Taishou at this time, it's all because of Gan Ning himself, hahaha,

The reputation is too loud, so people dare not accept it, and it is understandable, right, Gan Xingba. ”

Gan Ning blushed and said: "What the lord said is extremely true, since the last general is accepted by the lord, he is willing to repay the lord with death, and let the lord and Huang Taishou command and dispatch, Gan Ning only looks forward to the lord's horse." ”

Liu Cong laughed when he heard this, and said to Huang Zu: "Gan Xingba is a rare sailor general, he dispatches troops on the water, commands the fight, and has his own set of wild roads, which is really wonderful, Huang Taishou, I, Liu Cong and your old man, this old man and young man have no choice but to bow to the wind, hahaha, you say yes." ”

As soon as Huang Zu heard that Liu Cong valued Gan Ning like this, his heart suddenly moved, and he immediately looked at Gan Ning a few points, quickly endured the pain, hugged his fists and grinned to Gan Ning.

Liu Cong hurriedly stopped: "However, Huang Taishou has been operating in Jiangxia for many years, and it can be said that he is the pillar of the East in Jingzhou, because Huang Taishou mistakenly fell into the enemy's plot and was injured, so this time I brought Gan Zhuangshi over and ordered him to be the deputy head of the Jiangxia Sailor and assist Huang Taishou in managing the Jiangxia Sailor." ”

The three of them talked here, and suddenly the guards came in to tell them, saying that there was important information sent by the Changsha Yamen.

Huang Zu hurriedly ordered to receive him, and the scout came in to hand over the information, and Huang Zu continued, seeing that the information was the information sent to Liu Cong by the Changsha Yamen, he hurriedly handed it to Liu Cong.

When Liu Cong opened it, he saw that the intelligence said that on the night of 18 March, there were fires in many places in Changsha City, first dozens of shops along the street, and when the city was fighting fires and panicking, suddenly a fire ignited in Changsha Yamen, and then the entire Yamen burned.

At that time, Taishou Han Xuan was directing the firefighting outside, and the yamen who listened to it was on fire, and hurriedly brought people back to the rescue, and suddenly killed dozens of assassins from the alley, and shouted to surround the Taishou in the middle and kill.

At that time, Taishou didn't bring weapons, the guards were busy fighting the fire, there were only a dozen guards and personal soldiers left, most of them only carried buckets to fight the fire, and they fought for a while, Taishou retreated while commanding, and a group of assassins came out of the alley unexpectedly, and in a panic, Han Taishou was unfortunately stabbed to death,

The fire in Changsha City burned until dawn, and the whole city was almost reduced to ashes.

This is not counting, from Changsha City along Dongting Lake to the bank of the Yangtze River, dozens of Tuntian warehouses also caught fire at the same time on this night, although after hard work, but the grain and grass stored in these warehouses were also burned.

When Liu Cong heard this, he was stunned for a while, paused, came back to his senses, and hurriedly asked who the murderer was, "It's murder and arson, there must be a lot of stabbing guests." ”077
