It was already late at night, and the inside and outside of Gangneung City were in flames, and the sound of killing was boiling.

Although the 10,000 Chu troops in the city have been strictly on standby, they did not expect that the cadres would enter the city from the south gate, and in a hurry, they could not adjust the deployment at all, so they could only face the battle head-on.

The Western Army was the elite of the cadre army, and the 10,000 cadre troops who entered the city were the elite of the elite.

Before Liu Bei had drawn troops and horses from Sanmen, Yan Xing had already broken through the large camp in the city in one fell swoop, took advantage of the situation to set fire to the 10,000 Chu army, and did not chase the scattered Chu army, and hurriedly reorganized the troops and went all out to the north gate.

As long as you concentrate your forces to break through one gate, the army outside the city can fight into the city.

Liu Bei received the news halfway and almost fell off the horse without being surprised.

Pang Tong and Xu Shu also burned their eyebrows in a hurry, reluctantly gathered thousands of soldiers and horses, and while sending people to inform the guards of the three gates, they hurriedly rushed to the south gate, preparing to recapture the south gate first and flee to the river.

The three guards received the news, where is the fighting spirit.

He abandoned the city gate as soon as possible, and fled to the south gate with his soldiers and horses.

The cadres took advantage of the situation to storm fiercely, and the three gates were quickly broken, and the cadres immediately entered the city.

On this night, Gangneung City was completely overwhelmed by the sky-high flames and the sound of shouts and screams.

The people near and far saw it, and they all hid in their homes and were afraid, and no one dared to come out and walk around.

By daybreak, the shouting and killing in the city had not subsided, and it was still continuing.

The Great Tent of the Chinese Army.

Sima Yi hurriedly entered the military tent and bowed to Luo Zheng with an excited expression, "Lord! ”

Although he didn't sleep all night, this guy was a hundred times more energetic, and he didn't feel sleepy at all.

"Excuse me!"

Luo Zheng waved his hand. He asked in a deep voice, "Have you ever caught Liu Bei?" ”

Sima Yi replied: "Liu Bei escaped from the encirclement and fled to Jingnan under the response of the Jiangling naval army, but he was never caught. ”

Luo Zheng frowned. Liu Bei's house is a scourge, and he can run away. It's really unpleasant.

Sima Yi looked at his face and said, "But although Liu Bei ran away, he didn't have time to take away Liu Qi, the king of Chu, and a group of Jingzhou scholars. Liu Qi and the Jingzhou scholars all have the heart to belong, can the lord see it? ”

Luo Zheng said 'oh' and waved his hand, "Bring it up!" ”

"Yes!"

Sima Yi surrendered his order, and then turned around and went to the military tent.

The effort was not large, and Liu Qi, the king of Chu, and a group of Jingzhou scholars were taken to the big tent of the Chinese army.

In fact, as early as when the Qianjun army marched south, Liu Qi, the king of Chu, and a group of Jingzhou scholars wanted to surrender. Liu Qi was weak, and the Jingzhou scholars had a very longing local concept, so they were unwilling to abandon their family business and follow Liu Bei to Jingnan. The most important thing is that the cadres are powerful and have the potential to sweep the world, even if they flee to Jingnan, what can they do.

For the gate valve of the Shi clan, the preservation of the clan family business is always the first place.

Luo Zheng has a bad reputation. It was because Luo Zheng was weak before, and no family could compete with him, so no one was willing to take refuge.

However, with Luo Zheng's defeat of Cao Cao, he successively entered the Central Plains and Hebei. jumped to the head of the princes of the world, even if the princes of the world joined forces, it would be difficult to compete. The world clan chose to forget Luo Zheng's past.

The general trend of the cadres sweeping the world is unstoppable, and the trend of inflammation and attachment will always be the mainstream of the times.

Or stubbornly resist to the end. The clans were destroyed.

Either bow down, or preserve the clan inheritance.

As long as it's not too stupid. You know which one to choose.

Luo Zheng did not embarrass these people, Haosheng appeased a few words, and only called Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue brothers to work in front of the account, and the rest of the people were temporarily used, waiting for the Jingzhou scholars to retreat, Jia Xu and Fa Zheng also arrived.

"Lord!"

Jia Xu and Fa Zheng gave their hands to give gifts.

Luo Zheng waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Jiangling has fallen, Gu intends to move Huainan, what does Wen He think?" ”

Jia Xu nodded and said: "Xu is also about to talk about this, below Jiangling, Jingnan is blocked by rivers and waters, and it is unthinkable, it is time to move to Huainan, first defeat Sun Ce and Cao Cao, wait for the water army to be trained, and then cross the Jiangnan expedition." ”

"It's a pity that Liu Bei ran away!"

Luo Zheng sighed, and then asked, "How many soldiers and horses did Liu Bei bring to break through?" ”

Fa Zhengdao: "At most, there are nearly 10,000, but there are still 10,000 counterinsurgency troops of Huang Zhong and Wei Yan in Jingnan, Liu Bei should still have about 20,000 soldiers and horses, and 100,000 conscripted young people, but unfortunately our army can't cross the river and can't take advantage of the victory to pursue!" ”

Luo Zheng asked again, "What about Zhang Fei, have you ever been captured?" ”

Fa Zheng replied: "I also ran away with Liu Bei's breakthrough." ”

Luo Zheng's face was displeased, and then his brows furrowed, and he asked, "The location of Jiangling is very dangerous, who can defend it?" ”

Jia Xu said: "Jiangling has been down, the Xichuan portal has lost the strategic significance of the application, and I think that the lord should give the Sichuan people full trust, and the Sichuan general Zhang Ren will guard the belly of the fish, and the general Xu Huang will guard Jiangling." ”

Luo Zheng thought for a while, and then said: "Good, according to Wen He's opinion, quickly summon Xu Huang to come!" ”

"Yes!"

Fa Zheng agreed and immediately went down to make arrangements.

In April, the Qian's army broke through Jiangling, and Liu Bei fled to Jingnan.

In May, Luo Zheng ordered Xu Huang to guard Jiangling, move to Xiangyang, remove Liu Qi and Chu Wangjue, and give the title of Nanxiang Gong, with Kuaizhou famous scholar Kuai Liang as the history of Jingzhou, and his younger brother Kuai Yue as the Qianwang Mansion Ji Cao, to appease the people of Jingzhou.

In June, Luo Zheng was preparing to move to Huainan to defeat the combined forces of Cao Cao and Sun Ce, but Huainan ushered in the rainy season.

Taking advantage of Luo Zheng's absence in Huainan, Cao's army sent troops to attack Anfengjin under the response of the Eastern Wu Naval Army, and was repelled by Zhang Liao, Cao Cao had to return to Shouchun, Zhang Liao wanted to take advantage of the situation to pursue, but was defeated by Cao Cao's eight-way ambush.

At the beginning of July, the rainy season, which lasted for nearly two months, finally passed.

Luo Zheng moved to Huainan and raised 500,000 troops to cross the Huaishui River to the south, officially opening the battle of Jianghuai.

Shouchun, Cao Cao's official residence.

"Lord!"

Cheng Zhong entered the inner hall and arched his hand to Cao Cao.

"Zhongde is exempt!"

Cao Cao waved his hand, and suddenly found that Cheng Yu's sideburns were frosty, and he couldn't help sighing, and muttered: "In a blink of an eye, Zhongde and Gu are also old." Far away for many years, and Zhongde first met, such as the past can not be forgotten, the great cause of the past has not been completed, the years have passed! ”

Cheng Yu was moved in his heart, but he seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't speak for a while.

Cao Cao immediately perked up his spirits and asked, "Does Zhongde have something important?" ”

Cheng Yu said: "Liu Qi and the Jingzhou scholars have surrendered to Luo, and Liu Bei has retreated to Jingnan with more than 10,000 soldiers and horses. Now Jiangxia has been owned by Luo Zheng, and our army's plan to retreat to Jiangxia will not be able to come true! ”

Cao Cao was silent for a long time before he sighed and said, "That's it, let's fight to the death with Luo Zheng!" ”

Cheng Yu didn't say anything more, and after a shake, he retreated and withdrew from the inner hall.

Cao Cao sat alone for a while, and then suddenly shouted outside the tent: "Someone! ”

Dian Wei entered in response, stood at the bottom of the hall and said, "What does the lord command?" ”

Cao Cao said: "Go and call Zhang'er to come!" ”

"Yes!"

Dian Wei agreed and immediately withdrew. (To be continued......)
