In Wuchang City, Liu Feng sat in the bedroom, looking very tired.

It has been a day since Zhou Yu retired from the army, but there are still many things in Wuchang City, such as treating wounded soldiers, burying corpses, and calming the emotions of the people.

Huang Zhong and Zhang Gui were so busy that their feet barely touched the ground. Although Liu Feng brought it with him, he had to join in at this time to help deal with it.

After a while, the whole person was very sour. In the middle, he also met Deng Ai once, and knew that Deng Ai was ordered by Pang Tong to shout outside the city.

Liu Feng was in a very good mood when he heard it, and he worked hard to find Pang Tong, and it was really right.

Originally, Liu Feng wanted to leave Deng Ai to live, after all, the two had not been together for a long time, but Deng Ai's kid's surname was Ge Yuli, and now he was already a little general in charge of a battalion, and he went back for the reason of military responsibility.

Liu Feng had no choice but to let him go back.

However, Liu Feng also wrote a letter for him to bring to Pang Tong, firstly to affirm Pang Tong's merits, and secondly, to ask Pang Tong to send Ma Liang over.

After the war, Wuchang City was already dilapidated, and it was the Jiangxia front, and there was no capable person in charge, Liu Feng always felt uneasy.

In addition, if Chen Da breaks Zhou Yu, then the 20,000 people will pour into Wuchang, and people who have the ability to arrange it.

When this matter is approaching, I know the importance of talents. After such a discovery, Liu Feng felt that the talents he accepted were not enough. Pang Tong, that guy can lead troops to fight and be a military advisor. can also handle government affairs, but after all, there needs to be a focus, Liu Feng doesn't want Pang Tong to arrest the civil and military, so he can only let him grasp the military affairs.

Now Ma Liang has come out of Xiling again and come to Wuchang to guard. The Xiling civil officials are only left with Yi nationality, which really makes Liu Feng feel shy.

This is not counting the time to expand the territory and expand the territory in the future. It's a real headache.

Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly Huang Zhong's voice sounded outside the door.

"The lord is here?"

"Come in." At this time, Huang Zhong should be dealing with the military, Liu Feng was stunned for a moment, and then spoke up. No matter when, as long as Liu Feng has time, he will meet this general.

"No." Huang Zhong walked in in response, the armor on his body had already been removed, and he was only wearing a close-fitting outer, and he was still capable.

It's just that his face is the same as Liu Feng's, and he is very tired.

"Lord, now that the matter in Wuchang is basically over, after this battle, Zhou Yu will definitely retreat to Chaisang, preparing to exterminate Shanyue, not for a few months, or even a year. Wuchang can be safe for a while, just leave it to me for the time being. You should go back to Xiling to recuperate first, the conditions there are better, which is conducive to the recovery of your injuries. After Huang Zhong walked in, he bent down at Liu Feng and said.

"Thank you brother for your concern, I'll go back tomorrow." Liu Feng felt warm in his heart, nodded and said, in fact, the injury is really not in the way, but Huang Zhong is concerned, and it is not good for him to stay in Wuchang anymore and distract Huang Zhong.

"That's good." Huang Zhong smiled. Anyway, Liu Feng is now his father-in-law, and he is really worried about his injuries.

Now there are a lot of affairs in Wuchang City, Huang Zhong is very busy, and after persuading Liu Feng, he said a few words to Liu Feng, just like saying goodbye and leaving.

But Liu Feng stopped Huang Zhong. He looked at Huang Zhong's tired face, and felt very sorry in his heart.

Suddenly remembered one thing, Huang Xu. After he entered Wuchang, he immediately asked Huang Zhong to step up the training of soldiers, so that Huang Zhong never left the military camp for half a step. There shouldn't be any news yet. stopped Huang Zhong and prepared to tell Huang Zhong the great news.

"I have good news for my brother here." Liu Feng sat up straight and said with a smile.

"Oh?" Huang Zhong sighed in surprise. What could be better news than retiring Zhou Yu?

"Do you remember what I was doing in Xiangyang?" Liu Feng asked with a smile. Huang Zhong's heart moved, and when he saw Liu Feng with a smile on his face, he immediately became excited. A trembling voice said, "Is it so?" ”

"Your family is the only seedling, so it's been saved." Looking at Huang Zhong's excited look, Liu Feng nodded with a smile.

"Heaven has mercy, heaven has mercy. This single seedling of my Huang family has finally been saved. Huang Zhong's reaction was even more intense than Liu Feng imagined, and he actually burst into tears.

Liu Feng still underestimates the men of this era, the kind of attachment to having a future and no queen.

The only seedling of the Huang family is the lifeblood of Huang Zhong.

Looking at Huang Zhong's tearful appearance, Liu Feng was only happy for him in his heart, but he didn't have that utilitarian heart, Huang Zhong was very righteous, and from this Wuchang offensive and defensive battle, Liu Feng no longer needed to doubt it.

Even if there is no Huang Xu, Huang Zhong will not leave him. Such a righteous old brother, watching him cry happily for his son, Liu Feng of course felt happy.

Just as Liu Feng wanted to say a few happy words, Kou Shui suddenly broke in from outside.

"What's wrong? It's so unruly. Liu Feng said with some displeasure. If he were alone, now was the time to meet Huang Zhong. Moreover, Huang Zhong is still in tears, and Kou Shui's reckless actions are likely to make the old general unhappy.

However, Huang Zhong just wiped his tears from his sleeve and didn't blame him too much.

"The military situation is urgent, and I ask the lord to forgive me." Hearing Liu Feng's reprimand, Kou Shui explained, and hurriedly said: "Lord, Chen Junhou sent someone to report it, saying that it was a big break for Zhou Yu." The 20,000 people have already fled in all directions, and it is believed that they will soon return to Wuchang on their own. In addition, Chen Junhou thought that Chaisang was empty and could attack the lord to add help. It was to raise up the army and go away. ”

"Chen Da, he went to attack Chaisang?" Liu Feng was first overjoyed and then surprised. I couldn't help but stand up violently.

Naturally, he broke Zhou Yu and let this guy taste the bitter fruit of attacking my Jiangxia. In this battle, Zhou Yu lost his troops and lost his generals, and the Shanyue rebellion within Eastern Wu was bound to intensify. It is best to wait until the eve of the Battle of Chibi to complete the peace. In this way, Zhou Yu would not have the ability to attack Jiangxia to the west.

This surprise, of course, is Chaisang.

That Chaisang is the nest that Zhou Yu has been operating for several years, and it is a strategic place in Jiangdong. There are only four cities, but there are 120,000 people, and there is a lot of grain and grass, and there is a lot of baggage.

The city is tall, heavy, and easy to resist.

Liu Feng said that it was false that he was not coveted, but he never thought of attacking Chai Sang, even when Zhou Yu came to fight him.

Because Liu Feng was brainless at that time, thinking that when he fought against Chibi, he always had to unite with Sun Wu, even if he tore his face and drove Zhou Yu away this time, he couldn't attack his city and complain.

But now that Liu Feng has felt Zhou Yu's sharpness, that kind of thought is gone.

In the future, the alliance in the Battle of Chibi was mutually beneficial. You can't just let me be wronged because of the alliance. Why can't I attack you if you can fight me? It doesn't make sense.

Besides, if Cao Ying goes south, everyone will be dead. Between destruction and survival, presumably Sun Quan's gang will definitely choose to release their previous suspicions and unite. The man is the one who understands.

In other words, capturing a few cities is not a big deal at all.

Therefore, Liu Feng was first shocked and then ecstatic. Four cities, 120,000 people. On the one hand, it is to build a barrier for Jiangxia, and on the other hand, how many soldiers can those 120,000 people raise. Jiang Xia only has a population of 100,000 and has won four cities, and his power has more than doubled. What's more, there is also a Panyang Lake, I heard that the Jiangdong Navy began to train from there, and most of the ships were built there.

The shipbuilding industry is well developed, and there are many, many workers. It is quite important for the creation of an invincible naval army.

"Brother, it seems that I can't go back to Xiling County for the time being. Please, move all the 1,000 people you can move, and get enough food for two days, and I will personally go and take over the four cities. Liu Feng ordered blatantly.

"No." When the big event came, Huang Zhong quickly abandoned the personal feelings in his heart and promised loudly.

Soon, the 1,000 soldiers that Liu Feng needed were prepared, and by the way, a comfortable carriage was found for Liu Feng, and the army quickly advanced towards Chaisang.

There is still a distance of eighty miles from Chaisang, which is where Zhou Yu's army was defeated. Zhou Yu and Zhu Zhi, as well as some generals, sat around an open space.

About two or three thousand soldiers and horses had gathered around them, and they all fled that night. Zhang Guang was right, there were many more people who fled that night than those who died.

Zhou Yu also believed that there must be some people scattered among the soldiers, at least seven or eight hundred or even a thousand people fled far away.

But Zhou Yu no longer had the patience to continue to retract, just now, the spies he sent out came back with news that Chaisang had been breached, and there was also Jiujiang.

Now there are two roads in front of him, one is to go to Jianchang to defend to the death, and the other is to cross the Canjiang River and enter Yuzhang.

These two paths mean that Zhou Yu has to give up Chaisang, as well as his wife and beloved son at home. His heart was painful, but Zhou Yu was a sane person, and he knew that it was wishful thinking to attack Chaisang at this time. It is impossible to even defend Jianchang.

Zhou Yu slowly raised his head and glanced at the soldiers around him. It's really deflating and bitter.

I saw that these soldiers were expressionless, their eyes were hollow, their lips were dry because of thirst, and their expressions were weak because of hunger. Actually, nothing. How to attack Chaisang, how to defend Jianchang.

Only by crossing the Canjiang River and entering Yuzhang can Zhou Yu have the capital to regroup. The four cities of Chaisang, it's over.

"General." At this time, Zhu Zhi shouted at Zhou Yu, and his expression was also very painful. The loss of the four cities of Chaisang was a major blow to Jiangdong. They lost the most unobstructed land route to attack Jingzhou.

"Hey." Zhou Yu sighed, but he didn't even regret it in his heart. Even if he would regroup with Yuzhang, he would have to enter the army to quell the chaos.

I don't know what year I will have the opportunity to return to Chaisang and attack Jiangxia.

At this moment, the spies sent out by Zhou Yu to inquire about the news from the West rode back with a nervous face: "General Bao, ten miles to the west, there are signs of a large army, about a thousand people, with a strong momentum and a fast march. ”

Sure enough, it still came, and the anger in Zhou Yu's eyes flashed away. He knew that since Liu Feng had successfully ambushed and attacked Chaisang, he would definitely send troops from Wuchang. Naturally, spies should be arranged.

"Let's go. Let's go back to Yuzhang. Zhou Yu suddenly got up and said, never looking at Chai Sang again.

"Madam, Xun'er, Yin'er, take care. I hope Liu Feng is a gentleman and can treat you well. Zhou Yu could only do this in his heart, but he knew that it was impossible.

Very few men have defeated a general again, and after taking possession of the city, they will not be moved by a woman who is famous in Jiangdong.

But Zhou Yu can only lie to himself like this, because he has no ability. Attacking Jiangxia, attacking Jiangxia, but he was taken away from the city and lost his wife. Zhou Yu felt that he had lost face.

He said that he would definitely recapture Chaisang and attack Jiangxia. Zhou Yu swore in his heart, but he was still a little dazed in his heart, and when he came back, his son might still be a son, but was his wife still a wife?

Ten miles to the west, the speed of the army was advancing rapidly. However, at this moment, Liu Feng's spies also heard Zhou Yu's movements. The speed slowed down slowly.

Of course, Liu Feng didn't know Zhou Yu's complicated mood at this moment, as well as the hatred of wanting to swallow his flesh and blood.

But it doesn't matter if you know, it's already dead. Those harsh words don't make sense anymore.

However, Liu Feng was still very cautious about Zhou Yu, although he knew that his army was demoralized, but after all, the number was superior.

Soon, Liu Feng received a report from a spy that Zhou Yu raised troops and quickly advanced to the east. "The four cities of Chaisang are mine." Liu Feng was ecstatic in his heart, he knew what it meant, it meant that Zhou Yu was going to cross the Canjiang River and go to Yuzhang.

"Let's go, go directly to Chaisang, and leave Zhou Yu alone." Liu Feng ordered.

The team picked up the speed again and headed towards Chaisang.

But what Liu Feng didn't expect was that when they arrived in Chaisang, the army had changed from 1,000 to about 2,000. They are all soldiers of the Zhou army who were easily gathered.

At first, there were only a few dozen people, but later there were more and more people. However, Liu Feng naturally did not refuse these Zhou Yu elites, and then simply sent people to collect them everywhere.

He changed the army from a thousand to two thousand.

At this moment, the handsome flag with the word "Liu" is hanging on Chaisang City, and I don't know where Chen Da got it. The city gate was wide open to welcome Liu Feng into the city.

"My lord." In front of the city gate, Chen Da, Zhang Guang, and the important officers of the broken military camp and the Shenjian battalion were all there, and when Liu Feng's carriage drove in, they all greeted him.

"Hmm." Liu Feng got out of the carriage, came to Chen Da's side, patted Chen Da on the shoulder vigorously, and said with a smile: "Good job." ”

"Thank you, Lord." Chen Da was overjoyed in his heart and thanked him.

After praising Chen Da, Liu Feng then encouraged these officers a few words, and then laughed loudly: "I collected more than 1,000 scattered soldiers from Zhou Yu on the road, first go to the grain and grass, and get some grain for them to eat." ”

"Of course, I also want to see how much food, weapons, and baggage Chaisang has piled up. My city, hahaha. Liu Feng laughed and said, also affirming the merits of Chen Da and others in disguise.

The happier the lord is, the more important and meritorious Chaisang is. In this regard, Liu Feng is not stingy.

"Your lord, you're going to be surprised. We checked the ledger, and there were 100,000 stones of grain, 20,000 spears, 5,000 swords, and 10,000 knives. There are 1,000 shields, 30,000 sets of leather armor, 1,000 pairs of iron armor, and even a thousand war horses. Zhang Guang, who was behind Chen Da, couldn't wait.

He was also promoted by Liu Feng and broke an important uncle in the barracks, and he was very familiar with Liu Feng. At this moment, the interjection did not seem abrupt.

Liu Feng was taken aback. These are enough to equip 30,000 troops. Sure enough, it is worthy of Zhou Yu's nest that has been operated for several years, and it can be regarded as making a lot of money after beating it.

Chaisang's wealth surprised Liu Feng, but next, Zhang Guang had even more "good news" that surprised Liu Feng.

"The subordinates also robbed the lord of a beauty." Zhang Guang said like a treasure.

"What beauty?" Liu Feng didn't realize it for a while.

"Jiangdong Er Qiao, the little Qiao of the national color glass." Zhang Guang said with a smile.

Liu Feng's eyes almost bulged out, Xiao Qiao? This is Zhou Yu's lair, of course his home is here, and of course his wife and son are also there, so he should have thought of it a long time ago.

"How?" This is the thought that swelled up after Liu Feng's extreme surprise.
