Sun Jian sat upright, his face calm, and there was a disapproving smile on the corner of his mouth. In front of him sat two people, one Wen and one Wu, Wen was Huan Jie, and Wu was Huang Gai.

Huan Jie was the filial piety he had once recommended, while Huang Gai was a native of Lingling in Linjun, whom he met when he cooperated with Sun Jian to fight against the barbarians. The Yellow Turban Uprising, Sun Jian raised troops against thieves, and he began to follow Sun Jian, and it is now the seventh year.

Sun Jian took Changsha, the momentum is like a bamboo, but his reputation is not very good, this time in order to take Linxiang as soon as possible, the attack methods are a little too rough, Changsha people have a very bad impression of him, Huan Jie's grandfather Huan Chao does not approve of Huan Jie's coming to see Sun Jian, and wants him to hide at home. However, Huan Jie came after hesitating for two days, his reason was that avoiding Sun Jian would only cause greater killing, since he couldn't dodge, it was better to face Sun Jian directly.

He came to persuade Sun Jian to give up, the reason is very straightforward, the location of Changsha is indeed very good, occupying Changsha is equivalent to controlling the south bank of the Yangtze River from Jiangling down, if you want to march with confidence, Liu Xiu must first solve Changsha. As the county governor of Changsha County, Linxiang City is very strong, and it is basically impossible to forcibly conquer Linxiang City without half a year.

But the shortcomings of Changsha are also very obvious.

Changsha County and Yuzhang County are separated by a large area of mountains and hills, sparsely populated, it is very difficult to support Changsha from Yuzhang County, once Liu Xiu takes Jiangxia and then wedges into the south between the two, Changsha can be surrounded on all sides, Sun Jian became a lone army, and it is a lone army without help, Yuan Shu's strength is more than self-preservation, to send troops to rescue Changsha, then he is in Liu Xiu's arms. Liu Xiu could solve most of Yuan Shu's strength in Changsha County, so that he could easily defeat Yuan Shu.

In other words, if Sun Jian wants to defend Changsha, unless Yuan Shu can defeat Liu Xiu in half a year to a year, Sun Jian's lone army will be destroyed sooner or later, can Yuan Shu defeat Liu Xiu? For now. There seems to be no hope at all.

The meaning of Huan Jie is obvious, you are here, it is a dead end, it is better to withdraw as soon as possible. Leave before Liu Xiu's army surrounds you, maybe there is still a way to live, otherwise no matter whether Yuan Shu can defeat Liu Xiu in the end, you will definitely die.

Sun Jian was unmoved, and finally said lightly, even if I can only delay Liu Xiu for a month, my death is worth it.

Huanjie closed his mouth. Sun Jian has made up his mind, and there is no point in persuading him again.

"Boxu, General Yuan treats me very well, and I am willing to pay any price for him." Sun Jian said: "You have nothing to do with General Yuan, there is no need to do this, you still follow your grandfather's advice and go home." ”

Huan Jie smiled bitterly: "General, why bother, you can be loyal to General Yuan." How can I sit idly by and watch your downfall? Besides, Linxiang is the hometown of my parents, even if it is for fewer casualties. I also want to do my part for the general. ”

Sun Jian laughed: "Since that's the case, then I'll thank you a lot." He looked at Huan Jie, then at Huang Gai, and said with relief: "I haven't been in Changsha for a long time, but being able to get acquainted with the two of you is my biggest gain." Enough comfort for this life. If you can get away with it this time, you will definitely recommend the two in front of General Yuan in the future and share the wealth. ”

Huan Jie was helpless. He didn't have a good impression of Yuan Shu, but Sun Jian was Yuan Shu's general, and he should have persuaded him. Sun Jian didn't listen, that was his business, and next, he wanted to seek a way to live for the people of Changsha as much as possible.

Huan Jie suggested that Sun Jian strengthen Linxiang City as quickly as possible, so that Linxiang City was so strong that Liu Xiu could not afford to attack. Sun Jian agreed very much and handed over the matter to Huan Jie. Huanjie immediately mobilized the surrounding people to work day and night, and at the same time made pre-war preparations, stockpiled food, and prepared equipment to defend the city.

When the news reached Jiangling, Liu Xiu had a headache, what kind of psychology is this? Just because Sun Jian promoted him as filial piety, he wanted to tie up with Sun Jian, and dragged all the people of Changsha into the water?

Regardless of whether Liu Xiu approved of Huanjie's idea or not, all the preparations made by Huanjie in Linxiang City just hit Liu Xiu's key point. If there is no effective siege means, it is very inappropriate for him to rashly besiege Linxiang, which will only make him very tired.

Liu Xiu decided not to consider the attack on Linxiang City for the time being, but he could not let Sun Jian easily control the south bank of the Yangtze River, he ordered Gan Ning to lead the sailors into Dongting Lake, go south to Yiyang City, conquer Yiyang first, monitor Sun Jian nearby, and ensure the safety of the Yangtze River route. In this way, Sun Jian's restraining effect on him will be greatly weakened.

Gan Ning received the order and went with three thousand sailors in a hurry. He is not modest at all, all the way to the great force, advocating the earth-shaking sailing to Yiyang, the speed is not fast, only twenty miles a day, the sun rises to the old high, before the sky is dark, he anchors to rest. From Gangneung to Yiyang, he walked for forty days.

Sun Jian is not deaf, he soon received the news, and was immediately angered by Gan Ning's arrogance, and immediately wanted to raise an army to meet Gan Ning, but was stopped by Huanjie.

"General, do you have enough warships to fight against the Yizhou Naval Division?"

Sun Jian was dumbfounded, he came to occupy Changsha, but the ship was a little, but it was just a cargo ship carrying grain, how could there be any warship.

"If you go out of the city to fight Gan Ning now, you will just fall for Gan Ning's trick to lure the enemy. Although Gan Ning is rude, Liu Xiu is not an incompetent person. If it weren't for his orders, could Gan Ning be so arrogant? ”

Sun Jing also heard it: "This is their plan to lure the enemy?" ”

"That's true." Huan Jie said: "Presumably they heard about the hardships of Linxiang City and the bravery of the generals, so they didn't dare to attack the city easily, so they could only retreat to the next best, hoping to lure the generals out of Linxiang." ”

Sun Jian's eyebrows tightened: "Then we will let him take Yiyang?" ”

"Why not?" Huan Jie asked rhetorically.

"But in this way, we will not be able to control the Yangtze River." Sun Jian was very worried, "In this way, how can I share the pressure for General Yuan?" ”

"If you can attract 10,000 troops in Changsha, you will share the pressure on General Yuan." Huan Jiedao, "The reason why we can't defend Yiyang is because Yiyang is located in a waterway with convenient transportation, and Liu Xiushui is in hand, so he can support from Jiangbei at any time." Moreover, Yiyang City is not as strong as Linxiang City, and it is easy to gain and lose. Even if Liu Xiu gets Yiyang, he will have to leave enough troops to prevent us from taking Yiyang again, in this case, hasn't our goal been achieved? We have now captured Yiyang, and his whole army is coming to attack, and he will be able to take it back soon, so what is the difference between his hands and ours? ”

Sun Jian nodded approvingly, he understood what Huan Jie's meaning was, but the thought of Gan Ning taking Yiyang with such an arrogant posture really made him unbearable. If Liu Xiuqin led the army to attack Yiyang, he would have done it, but it was Gan Ning, a little-known bastard, who was really too deceitful.

Although Sun Jian was annoyed, he finally listened to Huanjie's advice, insisted on Linxiang and did not come out, and sat back and watched Yiyang surrender to Gan Ning. Then, Gan Ning took Luo County again, which was regarded as separating Linxiang from the Yangtze River, like two monitoring points, and controlled Sun Jian's actions.

After receiving the news that Gan Ning had successfully conquered Yiyang and Luoxian counties, Liu Xiu was not happy. Sun Jian insisted on Linxiang and did not come out, and the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain did not work, it seems that Sun Jian is determined to defend Linxiang City, and he has planted a nail in his back.

Liu Xiu was anxious and there was no good way, he moved the naval battalion to Dongting Lake, supported Yiyang and Luoxian nearby, rushed to Jiangxia himself, and commanded Cai Mao and Fu Xie, who arrived from Nanyang, to attack Xiling City.

The generals under Yuan Shu, who guarded Xiling, Li Feng and Le, had a total of 5,000 troops. Xiling is the county of Jiangxia, the city wall is naturally higher and stronger than the general county seat, and Yuan Shu is in Exian County, 20,000 troops are ready to go, Xiling City is obviously a bait. Once Liu Xiu's siege was frustrated and his morale was affected, Yuan Shu would kill him at any time. And Yuan Shu was snooping on the sidelines, Liu Xiu couldn't go all out to deal with Xiling no matter what, and he had to leave enough troops to block it.

And if Liu Xiu turns around and attacks Yuan Shu, then Xiling will become a hidden danger behind him, and he will prevent the people in the city from killing him.

I have to say that Yuan Shu's idea is very thoughtful, at least he can't find any flaws in his tactics.

When Liu Xiu arrived in Xiling, Fu Xie and the others had already arrived, and Huang Zu, who had never met before, came to greet Liu Xiu. Huang Zu was in his forties, he looked strong, and his round face looked like a rich man, but his eyes were always squinted, which did not match his rich appearance.

This person is very famous in history, firstly, because his subordinates killed Sun Jian with a secret arrow, secondly, because he killed the madman You Heng, and another reason is that he didn't look down on Gan Ning, and finally forced Gan Ning's horse to jump ship and go to Jiangdong to offer advice to Sun Quan. These three things are not something to boast about, but in fact Huang Zu is not an insignificant person, he is one of the few generals in Jingzhou, in addition to shooting Sun Jian to death and thwarting Yuan Shu's dream of competing for Jingzhou, he also held Jiangxia for many years, so that the famous little overlord Sun Ce has not been able to expand his power to the west, until Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, he was considered to have set foot in Jiangxia, but at that time Cao Cao had already solved the remnants of Yuan Shao in the north and waved his army south.

If it weren't for Huang Zu, Sun Ce might have entered Jingzhou a long time ago, and it is really difficult to say what the general trend of the world looks like.

However, Liu Xiu was not interested in Huang Zu now, he was very interested in Huang Zhong under Huang Zu.

"Which one is Huang Hansheng?"

Huang Zu was a little embarrassed, he heard Liu Xiu's contempt for him, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, but in front of so many people, he didn't dare to show it on his face. Liu Xiu came with the momentum of Yizhou, Jingzhou surrendered to the wind, and even the big clans like the Cai family and the Kuai family bowed to Liu Xiu, how could he, a branch of the Jiangxia Huang clan, be qualified to call Liu Xiu.

"This is Huang Zhong." Huang Zu called a strong man in his thirties, among the generals behind him, over. Huang Zhong was a little apprehensive, he didn't know what Liu Xiu meant by looking for him as soon as he came, although he was brave, but he was just an ordinary general under Huang Zu.

Liu Xiu looked at one of the five tiger generals in the prime of life in front of him, and couldn't help but think of his brother Liu Bei, who was working hard in Liaodong. If you want to talk about digging the corners of the wall, Liu Bei's corner has been hollowed out by him, the five tiger generals, Liu Bei was stunned and didn't catch any of them.
