Seeing this general who stood up, Sun Ce's mood suddenly relaxed by more than half, "With him, Jiangxia can be safe." ”

This person is none other than Jiangdong veteran-level general, veteran Cheng Pu.

Since Sun Jianshi, Cheng Pu has followed him to fight in the south and the north, and has made great contributions.

He volunteered to guard Jiangxia, and Sun Ce was relieved.

"Old General Cheng, if you are willing to guard Jiangxia, I will rest assured", Sun Ce let out a long breath, "Who is willing to be the deputy general and help General Cheng to guard Jiangxia." ”

"The last general is willing to be a deputy general", when Sun Ce saw it, it was the general Ling Cao, who volunteered to help Cheng Pu.

"General Ling is willing to assist General Cheng, and Jiangxia is even more foolproof", Sun Ce was in a very good mood and said with a smile.

After arranging everything, Sun Ce set off from the camp and returned to Eastern Wu.

When Liu Biao heard the report, he was ecstatic, "As expected, the Eastern Wu army has withdrawn, what we have to do now is just to hold on and wait for help, and as soon as Zhang Xiu's reinforcements arrive, we will attack Liu Xun and regain the lost territory." ”

"The secret calculation of the military advisor, the gods and ghosts are unpredictable, it is really the blessing of Jingzhou", Liu Biao said.

"Everything depends on the lord Hongfu, but he is only a little thin, how dare he take credit", Xu Shu said modestly.

Now that Cai Mao has been driven away, Xu Shu thinks that he has been killed by Liu Xun, and on the ground of Jingzhou, except for Liu Biao, Xu Shu is already faintly the person who sits in the second position.

On the one hand, he was cautious in his words and deeds, and on the other hand, he secretly planned how to consolidate his position.

"Liu Biao is incompetent, and he is frail and sickly, if he is not there, how can I be subservient again? The top priority is to repel Liu Xun's attack, and then clear the Cai clan's forces, and then cultivate his own strength, so as to wait for the time", Xu Shu secretly calculated in his heart, but on the surface, he was quiet, and he looked like a master who was indifferent to fame and fortune.

"Back then, Mr. Shui Jing once said that one of me, Kong Ming, and Pang Tong, must be the hero who ended this troubled world. No matter how powerful Kong Ming and Pang Tong are, they are just assisting others to achieve great causes, I have to have my own foundation, I can dominate the world when I enter, and I can become a heroic man when I retreat", Xu Shu was secretly ruthless.

Not to mention Xu Shu's little abacus, here Liu Xun and Pang Tong heard that Sun Ce had retired and returned to Jiangdong, they looked at each other and laughed, and they were overjoyed.

"Lord, now that the Jiangdong army and horses have withdrawn, why don't we go all out to attack Jingzhou and strive to take this battleground as soon as possible", Pang Tong couldn't hold back the joy in his heart and suggested.

"Okay, it makes sense, let's go to the battle and strive to capture Jingzhou in one fell swoop", Liu Xunshen said thoughtfully.

Liu Xun personally stepped out at the moment and shouted: "Please talk to Liu Jingsheng?" ”

Xu Shu said on the city tower: "Liu Xun, you coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, it is disloyal; Violating the boundaries of the Han clan for no reason, ignoring the rules of the ancestors, is for unfilial piety, you are a disloyal and unfilial person, Liu Jingzhou disdains you. ”

Liu Xun said angrily: "Who are you, dare to talk nonsense here?" Tell Liu Jingsheng to come out and speak? ”

Pang Tong next to him said: "Back to the lord, this person is my junior brother Xu Shu, when I was a teenager, I and Kong Ming, Xu Shu and other three people studied art together under Mr. Shuijing. ”

"Oh, I see, why don't you persuade your junior brother to come down?" Liu Xundao.

"Then I'll try my best," Pang Tong said.

"Xu Shu, do you still recognize Pang Tong?"

"Senior brother, please, each is his master today, don't say anything about persuasion", Xu Shu interrupted ruthlessly.

"Please give the order to attack the city", Pang Tong said, "Since the other party does not eat soft and hard, he can only attack it." ”

"Okay, give me all the strength to attack the city and capture Liu Biao alive", Liu Xun shouted.

The three armies fought forward and attacked with all their might.

Xu Shu's command is determined, and the dispatch is well-organized. The city of Jingzhou is high and deep, and it is difficult to capture it for a while and a half, and the soldiers are seriously killed and wounded.

Seeing this, Liu Xun ordered the army to retreat and surrounded the city of Jingzhou.

Pang Tong saw that the strong attack was ineffective, and offered a strategy, "My lord, raise troops for a thousand days, use soldiers for a while, now is the time to use Cai Mao." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Let Cai Mao step forward and shout, shoot leaflets into Jingzhou City, and let the old generals of the tribe loyal to the Cai clan open the city gate, and the inside and outside should be together."

"That's a good idea," Liu Xun nodded, "Tell Cai Mao to come forward and shout and surrender Liu Biao's army." ”

Cai Mao stepped forward and shouted: "Brothers in the city, listen, I am Cai Mao, and now I have been demoted to General Liu Xun. Surrender quickly, or your heads will fall on the day the army breaks through the city. ”

The hearts of the people in Jingzhou City suddenly fluctuated, Liu Xun asked someone to shoot leaflets into the city, and the people were panicked for a while, and the Cai clan and the old department were a little ready to move.

"The lord hurriedly ordered the elimination of the Cai clan and those old subordinates loyal to the Cai clan to prevent future troubles," Xu Shu said to Liu Biao.

The matter is urgent, and Liu Biao can no longer be allowed to hesitate.

Cai's clansmen in Jingzhou City were quickly arrested, except for Liu Biao's Cai wife, he arrested all the rest of the Cai family, and there were hundreds of them.

"Please order that these people be beheaded for public display, so that they will not be used by the enemy," Xu Shu persuaded.

Liu Biao's heart was in turmoil, and he said dejectedly: "The military advisor will give the order." ”

"Someone, escort the Cai clan to the city tower and behead the public", Xu Shu ordered. Hundreds of Cai clansmen were escorted to the city tower.

"Slash!" Xu Shu decisively ordered.

Since then, Cai's power in Jingzhou City has been wiped out.

Pang Tong didn't expect that his move would help Xu Shu and make his position in Jingzhou more stable.

Cai Mao screamed, vomited half a liter of blood, fainted to the ground, and woke up after a long time.

Since then, Cai Mao has hated Liu Biao deeply in her heart, and even more deeply hated Liu Xun and Pang Tong, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge.

If one plan fails, Pang Tong has another plan.

"Now, Jingzhou City is desperate to be captured, according to the opinions of our subordinates, why don't we take the periphery of Jingzhou first, after capturing the peripheral city, Jingzhou is a lonely city, and it is difficult to support it."

Liu Xun saw that Pang Tong was reasonable, and immediately ordered to send troops to attack Nanjun, Lingling County, and Guiyang County.

Liu Biao got the news and urgently found Xu Shu to discuss how to deal with it.

"Liu Xun sent troops to attack Nanjun, Lingling County, and Guiyang County, if these three towns are lost, and Jingzhou loses its external barrier, it will be dangerous," Liu said.

"Liu Xun sent troops to attack the three towns of Nanjun and other towns in order to isolate Jingzhou, these three towns cannot afford to be lost, and the lord must send troops to the rescue."

"What Yuan Zhi means is that we must send three soldiers and horses to support," Liu Biao said.

"That's not necessary, the local cities of Nanjun and Lingling County are relatively strong, and the guards are old and heavy, the last time Sun Ce couldn't attack for a long time, this time Liu Xun wants to take the two places in a short time, it shouldn't be possible."

"As long as you send someone to inform the guards of Nanjun and Lingling, stick to it and wait for help. However, Zhao Fan, the guard general of Guiyang, is stubborn and self-serving, and loves to drink, so he should send someone to assist. ”

"According to Yuan Zhizhi's opinion, who is appropriate to send to assist Zhao Fan?" Liu Biao asked.

"Only Wenpin can take on this important task," Xu Shu said.

"As long as the guards in these three places can hold out for half a month, Zhang Xiu's reinforcements are estimated to arrive. Just in case, the lord can also order Changsha Taishou Han Xuan to send his general Huang Zhong to bring troops over to help. ”

"Huang Zhong is a veteran, can he do it?" Liu Biao was a little unconfident.

"Lian Po is old, can he still eat", Xu Shu sighed secretly, "Liu Biao is incompetent, he has a tiger general like Huang Zhong in his hand, but he doesn't know how to reuse it, until the other party is old, he doesn't know his talent, it can be said that he is ignorant." ”

"His subordinates dare to guarantee that Huang Zhong definitely has the ability to keep Guiyang safe," Xu Shu said.

"Then I'll rest assured, Jingxiang Nine Counties, now in our hands only Nan County, Lingling County, Guiyang County, Wuling County and Changsha County are in our hands, and there is no room for loss", Liu Biao sighed.

Sure enough, as Xu Shu expected, Liu Xun's army was deflated in Nanjun and Lingling, wasting money and food in vain, losing troops and losing generals, and making no progress.

Zhao Fan, the guard general of Guiyang, was arrogant and arrogant, and when he heard that Liu Xun was leading the army, he was about to go out of the city to meet the enemy.

Zhao Fan's staff persuaded: "Liu Xun's strength is so great that even Liu Biao is afraid of three points, for the sake of today's plan, it is best to stick to the city, on the one hand, ask Liu Biao for help." ”

After thinking about it again, Zhao Fan accepted the advice of his staff and persevered.

No matter how Liu Xun fought outside the city, Zhao Fan just cowered in Guiyang City and didn't come out. Liu Xun ordered the attack, and when it was critical, the reinforcements of Wenpin arrived, and the two armies fought for a while, and each collected its troops.

Liu Xun let Wen Ping enter the city and led a large army to surround it.

Not long after, the smoke and dust outside the city were flying, and a Biao military horse was killed, and the military horse army on this road was neat and neat, mighty and majestic, and it was clear at a glance that the person leading the army was not an idle person.

A big flag was waving in the wind, and a big "yellow" character was particularly dazzling, as if telling the bravery of its commander.

The first general is like a gallop, and it is the horse that makes Lu Fei, and the bow is like a thunderbolt.

When Liu Xun looked at it, he saw that the general's hair was like snow, his spirit was strong, his momentum was like a tiger like a dragon, his purple robe and golden armor, his seat was yellow, and his hand was a tiger tooth knife.

"What a tiger general, when did this Liu Biao's subordinates have this kind of capable person", Liu Xun muttered in his heart, but said in his mouth, "Come to the general to be famous, and this general will not pick a nameless general under the gun." ”

"Hehe, it turns out that you are Liu Xun, who has been in the limelight recently. When the old man was in the middle of the storm, were you still breastfeeding? ”

"Old horseman, Hugh is rampant, let me weigh you two pounds first, and then it's not too late to go crazy."

Liu Xun destroyed the purple lightning and chased the horse, shot like the wind, and stabbed with a gun.

I didn't expect Liu Xun's horse to come so quickly, and even more so that he would fight, and he was almost close to a sneak attack.

Although he was not shocked, the old man raised the tiger tooth knife in his hand and slashed directly at Liu Xunmian's door, before the knife arrived, the wind rose first, and the surrounding air seemed to be squeezed, and the strong murderous aura was suffocating.

"Good knife technique", Liu Xun praised the dragon and snake with a gun in his hand, like a dragon soaring above the nine heavens, the snake dived in the grass, waiting for the opportunity to move, a move is like a thunder and lightning, swallowing the world like a tiger.

"Good atmospheric marksmanship", the old man couldn't help but praise, and he tried his best to control the tiger tooth knife in his hand, draw the knife and cut off the water, endlessly.

The more the old man fought, the more frightened he became, and his contempt was gone, and he worked hard to deal with the enemy of his life.

He doesn't know how many famous seniors he has met in his life, and he has never struggled so hard as he does today.

The opponent's spear is unmatched, and the true qi is even more domineering, it even contains thunder light, and a few traces of true qi attack his meridians along the big knife, as if being struck by lightning.

Although he is really strong, the old man is also extremely uncomfortable.

"Although the plum is three points white as the snow, the snow loses the plum fragrance."

"No wonder there is such a knife technique, you are the Huang family's plum blossom snow knife method in Jingzhou", Liu Xun drank the origin of the other party's knife technique in one gulp, "The Huang family's plum blossom snow knife and a hundred steps through the Yang arrow are unique in the world, how fortunate today is to see the magic skills!" ”

"Who am I Dao, so arrogant, it turned out to be Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng, Liu Xun lost his respect", Liu Xun spoke, and the gun in his hand changed, like the Yangtze River, gushing endlessly, taking away the coquettish world and washing away the lead in the world.

"I'm ashamed, the other party has seen through the number of his martial artists, but he has no impression of the origin of other people's marksmanship", Huang Zhong looked ashamed, originally wanted to deceive and secretly use magic arrows, but now it seems that his own means are in the hands of the other party.

How do you call him not to be surprised?
