Jiangxia in April should have been a time when business travel was endless, but now it is a tragic phenomenon everywhere. Sun Ce's army surrounded Xiakou, and the counties in the south of Jiangxia County were all surrendered to the wind, which directly caused Huang Zu to sit in the dead city and lose 2,000 soldiers and horses, although it was only a county soldier.

Huang Zu, who was patrolling the city wall, looked at the camp outside the city and thought more than in his heart, Xiakou City was surrounded by three walls on one side of the river. Now, the Sun army is surrounded on three sides but not attacked, and only the water army on the river attacks the water village every time.

"Father, it is said that Sun Thief sent an army to attack Changsha." Huang Zhu, who accompanied Huang Zu to the city tower, said.

"Hmm"

"Father, you see that Sun Ce's army besieged the city for three days, not only did it not attack, but it also did not even build siege weapons. Looking at the camp again, the thief army could hardly even see a few figures. The child thought it was a ploy. Sun Thief must have gone to attack Changsha County. Huang Jie looked out of the city and hammered the city wall hard. Now there are rumors in the city, father, we might as well be the first to strike. ”

Huang Zu glanced at his son and sighed lightly, "Shoot your son, why don't you know it as a father!" But be cautious, the generals in the city will not die even if they are defeated, but our father and son are different. If you are not completely sure that your father will never fight. ”

"Father!" Yellow shot is not dead

"Say no more, the Father's mind has been decided. Shooter, you still go to patrol the city, if those families have bad intentions, kill. A hint of anger flashed in Huang Zu's eyes.

"But. Those families are all with all the adults..." Huang Zhu was still a little hesitant, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Huang Zu.

"Nowadays, I can't do that much. Go ahead! Of course, Huang Zu knew about the relationship, but he didn't care about it.

"Whoa!" Huang Shot led the order to go down the city wall.

"Sun Ce, what is your mind!? Is it really going to fight Changsha County? After Huang shot away, Huang Zu said to himself.

After five days

In Sun Jun's big tent, Sun Ce sat on the main seat in civilian clothes, and there were only Lu Su and Chen Duan under him. "Now, the yellow thieves are guarding the city, can Zijing take Changsha first according to the plan."

Lu Su hadn't answered yet, but Chen Duan on the side couldn't wait, "Duan thought that this was the opportunity to capture Changsha." "It turns out that Chen Duan has been friends with Sun Quan, and now Jiangxia has not made any contributions, if Sun Quan, as a partial teacher, can capture Changsha County first, it will be a credit.

Lu Su heard Chen Duan's words without saying much, and after a little thought, he said: "Su thinks it is desirable." Lu Su paused slightly, but then said to Sun Ce, "Su has a plan." The lord should order Dingnan Zhonglang to carry out a plan to increase the stove. ”

The plan to increase the stove, of course, Sun Ce has only heard of the reduction. "What do you mean?"

"Lord, listen, in order to lure Huang Zu out of the city, our army did not remove all his scouts outside the city. If General Sun misled the enemy army into thinking that the army attacking Changsha was the main force, he would ask the governor of Dadu to return to the camp and inspect the camps every other three or five days. Huang Zuzhong will definitely make a plan, thinking that it is only the Baqiu army of the metropolitan governor who is besieging Jiangxia, and the camp besieging the city is just a suspicious strategy, and it is the army led by the lord's father-in-law who goes to Changsha. In this way, Huang Zu will be lured out of the city. Lu Su explained his plan in one breath.

Hearing this, Sun Ce was still understanding the mystery, but Chen Duan on the side was shining in his eyes. "What a powerful Lu Zijing, killing two birds with one stone"

"Zizheng, immediately write a letter to Zhongmou, asking him to act according to the plan. It just so happens that the Gudian knife is in his hand, but it can make him pretend to be me. Sun Ce originally wanted to confuse the enemy army, but he didn't want to almost let Sun Quan die.

Sun Ce discussed in the big tent how to lure Huang Zu into battle, and what did Qiao Ren do?

On the way back to the camp in the granary of the rear army, it was originally the job of Sun Yu, the general of the rear army, to escort the grain and grass, but Sun Ce assigned Chun Yudan, the captain of the warehouse, to the jurisdiction of Qiao Ren, and also assigned Jia Hua's personal guard to him, obviously asking him to escort the grain and grass. This arrangement has the same meaning as asking Sun Quan to fight Changsha, that is, to have Qiao Ren's experience in leading troops, and it is also to train Qiao Ren. Although Qiao Ren had never led troops, after all, now that Huang Zu was trapped in Jiangxia, there was no enemy army east of Xiakou, and it was only half a journey from the granary to the camp.

Yiqu's personal guards are all dressed in leather armor to guard the grain trucks, but the people who carry the grain are people and auxiliaries. There are few horses in Jiangdong, so it is impossible to have a carriage to transport grain, and it is basically a mix of ox carts, mules, and donkeys. But our Qiao Ren did not ride a big horse, but lay on top of the grain cart, Jia Hua was guarding the left with a halberd in his hand, while Dai Gang was carrying a horse lance on the right, constantly posing.

It turned out that Qiao Ren's main book camp tent was not far from the place where Ling Ying's headquarters soldiers and horses were located, and there was a time when Dai Gang was practicing martial arts outside the tent, he happened to be seen by Ling Ying. It may be due to the fact that Ling Gang's son Ling Tong and Dai Gang are of the same age, or something, Ling Gang actually likes Dai Gang very much, seeing that Dai Gang is old and has good martial arts and is very talented, so he will guide him when he has nothing to do. Yesterday, I heard that Dai Gang came to escort grain and grass, and actually gave Dai Gang a black iron armor, a horse lance and a good bow of 3 stones. Seeing the hatred in Qiao Ren's heart, he didn't even have a secondary bow except for a long sword, let alone armor and horse weapons. Although he was in charge of the army's armaments, the public could not take it casually at that time.

Just when Qiao Ren was about to fall asleep, a soldier rode towards Qiao Ren's grain cart. Seeing this, Qiao Ren was drowsy, and his expression became serious. In addition to Qiao Ren, Dai Gang, and Jia Hua, there are only five scouts who have horses in the entire grain transportation team. And the scout reward must have something to do.

"Report!!" Sure enough, Qiao Ren felt a sigh in his heart.

I saw that the scout came straight to Qiao Ren's car and said, "Report to the master of the book, I found a team of more than 600 people in front. ”

There are enemy troops? That's not right! There can't be a Jingzhou army east of Xiakou, is it a bandit? Ask the scouts! "But the Jingzhou Army?"

"Lord Hui, it's not like the Jingzhou Army."

"Not like?" What is this word, yes is not no, what is not like.

Xu saw what Qiao Ren was thinking, and the scout hurriedly said, "Adult, it's not villain nonsense." The men and horses were all naked, covered with leather armor, with feathers on their heads and bells hanging from their waists. The first one was in his twenties, wearing fish scale armor, covered with a Shu brocade robe, revealing one arm, and several golden bells hanging from his waist. It doesn't look like a regular army" At this time, Jia Hua and Dai Gang also listened carefully.

is so non-mainstream, Qiao Ren couldn't cry or laugh when he heard it. But Jia Hua on the side said: "What kind of army is this, could it be a bandit and a bandit?" ”

Hearing the word water bandit, Qiao Ren realized in his heart, "Isn't this shape a Jinfan thief?" The leader in his twenties is not the Ganning Gan Xingba who was rated by Sun Quan as Meng De and Zhang Liao, Lone and Xingba, and the enemy of each other. "How is this good, the Jinfan Army is brave and good at fighting, and Gan Ning's martial arts are superior to 95, and Jia Hua is only 64, and Dai Gang is slightly better but only close to 70, how is Gan Ning's opponent.

"Zixia (Jia Huazi) knows Jinfan Ganning?" You have to ask first, and now Gan Ning is still serving in Liu Biaojun.

"Gan Ning? I knew that he was just a water thief above the cave, but it was useless to take refuge in Liu Biao, so he went into the water and became a bandit. Why did the adults ask about this person? Jia Hua was also stunned when he heard Qiao Ren suddenly ask, Gan Ning. I see, isn't this kind of dress a Jinfan thief? The lord rested for a while, and then the last general took two hundred soldiers and drove them away. ”

Come on! As long as you go up, you are not the enemy of Gan Ning. is no longer in Liu Biao's army, so he has come to seek refuge with Sun Ce. According to historical records, Gan Ning took refuge in Liu Biao at the beginning, but he was not reused and felt that Liu Biao was not a person who could do great things, so he wanted to go south to join Sun Quan, and passed by Jiangxia halfway and was pulled into the Jiangxia army by his friend Su Fei. Now, Sun Ce's prestige is grandly recruiting talents from all over the world, and Jiangxia is in danger, so he wants to come to Gan Ning to seek refuge with Sun Ce.
