Chapter 411: Fierce Battle in Jiangdong (6)

People live for a lifetime, nothing but fame and fortune.

Liu Qi is not young anymore, look at Liu Chuang, who is younger than him, and now he is already the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, how can he not feel sad in his heart?

They are all relatives of the Han family, but Liu Chuang's Biqu Pavilion is much worse than Liu Qi www.biquge.info.

He is the son of Liu Biao and the eldest son of Jingzhou. When he was making waves in Jingzhou, Liu Chuang was still hiding in the small county town of Donghai County, and he was nothing. But for ten years, Liu Chuang dominated the north and ordered the princes to be ordered by the Son of Heaven. And he, Liu Qi, was driven out of Xiangyang and came to Jiangxia in order to find a way to live, which can be said to be a lingering breath.

With such a contrast, Liu Qi didn't say anything on the surface, but he was really uncomfortable in his heart.

Now, Liu Biao intends to submit to Liu Chuang, doesn't it cut off his retreat?

When Liu Biao was the pastor of Jingzhou, no matter how poor he was, he was also Liu Biao's eldest son, and no matter how poor he was, he could still sit on one side. But once Liu Biao surrenders to Liu Chuang, judging from Liu Biao's current appearance, he will definitely let Liu Cong inherit his title. If that happens, his position will become extremely embarrassing. Will you still be able to sit on one side like you are now?

The answer can be known almost without asking......

Liu Bei looked at Liu Qi quietly and didn't speak.

Seeing Liu Qi's uncertain face, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

How could the old fox for many years not see Liu Qi's thoughts? Liu Bei knew that Liu Qi was tempted! What the military advisor expected was true, how could Liu Qi be a person who was willing to be subordinate? With a little provocation, this kid will obediently take the bait.

"Today, Liu Jingzhou recalled Qi Gongzi, obviously because he was jealous of the lord.

Without the protection of Prince Qi, it would not be easy for the lord to seek Jingnan. Don't look at the fact that Pan Gongzi is now courteous to the lord. But once you lose Prince Qi. He will no longer be polite to his lord. At all costs. All of them have to leave Mr. Qi behind. As long as Gongzi Qi is here, I believe that Gongzi Pan will not change his mind, and the lord can take advantage of the situation to seek Jingnan. ”

Pang Tong's words made Liu Bei's heart move.

Now, he has already said that Liu Qi has moved, so he hit the railway while it is hot: "Childe actually doesn't have to worry, I believe that in Xiangyang City, there are many people who want to be childe." Since ancient times. The eldest son is the heir. Yuan Shao didn't grasp this point at the beginning, and tried to abolish Chang Liyou, so that he was finally defeated by Cao Cao. Today's son is the heir, and it is justified. Jing Sheng Gong was also confused for a while, as long as the son showed enough ability, I believe that Jing Sheng Gong would definitely change his mind at that time.

What Childe lacks now is an opportunity to display his talents.

If you can't stay in Jiangxia, then such an opportunity will not come......"

Liu Bei's words reached Liu Qi's heart.

He took Liu Bei's hand, "Xuande Gong." You're going to help me. ”

"What's so hard about that?"

Liu Bei smiled: "Actually, now is the best time for the son to show his talent...... Liu Chuang swept the north with a sweeping momentum. Expelling the Son of Heaven to the north and monopolizing the government is a great thief of the country. He is now at war against Jiangdong and has no time to take care of Jingzhou. But once he destroys Jiangdong, he will inevitably swallow the land of Jingxiang. This man is too ambitious to take lightly. If Jiangdong is destroyed, Jingzhou will be in danger...... When the son raised a volunteer soldier, he started in Jingnan, joined Sun Quan in the east, and Liu Zhang in the west, and then a major event could be expected. If you are not prepared, you are willing to be a pawn for your son, and plan the land of the four counties of Jingnan for your son. ”

Liu Qi listened with enthusiasm, and nodded his head again and again in praise.

"However, my father may not sit idly by."

"What's so hard about that? Childe only has to act and has his own clever plan, but Jingsheng Gong agrees. ”

Liu Bei was full of confidence, which also made Liu Qi's heart high.

"But I don't know, how to contact Sun Quan?"

"Sun Quan had already sent someone to try to contact him...... Liu Mengyan advanced in three ways, but Jiangdong was not a rabble.

Zhou Yu is in charge of Lujiang, He Qitun will be in charge of the army, and Liu Chuang wants to conquer Jiangdong in one fell swoop, which is not easy.

Therefore, what Gongzi has to do is to let Jiangdong drag Liu Mengyan's energy as much as possible, and Bei Ze will appease the four counties of Jingnan in the name of Gongzi, and then try to contact Liu Jiyu. Thinking that Liu Jiyu is also a member of the Han family, how can he tolerate Liu Chuang's arrogance? ”

Liu Qi listened and nodded again and again.

He wandered around the room, gritted his teeth after a moment, and made up his mind.

He took out a tiger talisman from the bookcase and handed it to Liu Bei, "Xuande Gong can use the tiger talisman to mobilize Jiangxia soldiers and horses."

Qi Zihui and Ju Jian informed him and asked him to fully cooperate with Xuan Degong.

As for Jiangdong, Qi sent people to contact him, hoping to form an alliance with Sun Quan. ”

Liu Bei was overjoyed in his heart, but he made a solemn look on his face, took Liu Qi's hand and said: "The country of Han, the hand of the son!" ”

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Liu Qi was in Jiangxia, angrily beheaded Liu Biaolai's envoy, and refused to go to Xiangyang.

When Liu Biao learned the news, he was also furious.

He immediately ordered the soldiers and horses, and ordered the general Wang Wei to command the troops and send troops to Jiangxia to arrest Liu Qi.

This Wang Wei is a general under Liu Biao's account, and his reputation is resounding...... It's just that he never expected that Liu Qi would borrow Guan Yu from Liu Bei. Guan Yu's reputation, due to Liu Chuang's appearance, is far less resounding than in history. But that's real talent...... In the past few years, Guan Yu has not slackened in Jingzhou, and his skills are more refined than back then.

single-handedly, he killed Wang Wei in the army of ten thousand and defeated the Jingzhou army.

After Wang Wei was killed, Jingzhou's soldiers and horses were defeated. Liu Qi took advantage of the victory to attack, captured Nanxin City, and ordered Guan Yu to garrison Lulin Mountain.

The news reached Xiangyang, and Jingzhou was shaken.

Liu Biao was furious, and without saying a word, he ordered the general to lead 30,000 troops and send troops to the green forest mountain.

This Wen Ping is a general in Jingzhou, and he may not be as good as Guan Yu in terms of martial arts, but he is also a military general in the early stage of refining gods. In addition, he has outstanding military skills and is a native of Jingzhou, which is quite advantageous. Wen hired soldiers with extreme caution, he learned the reason for Wang Wei's defeat, and did not rush to attack, but took every step of the camp and confronted Guan Yu at the foot of the green forest mountain......

The situation in Jingzhou suddenly took a sharp turn for the worse.

No one expected that Liu Qi would dare to resist Liu Biao, let alone that this eldest son, who usually looked extremely cowardly, would have such courage. He preached to the world that he disobeyed Liu Biao. It's not that he's unfilial. It's because he doesn't want to see the Han dynasty stealing for national thieves. Liu Biao is the uncle of the emperor of the Han Dynasty. but ignoring Liu Chuang's behavior is really disloyal. Today, he Liu Qi would rather bear the name of unfilial piety than be Liu Chuang's accomplice...... He was determined to raise troops in Jiangxia to fight against Liu Chuang, and called on people of insight in the world to help him fight against the national thieves and restore the prestige of the Han Dynasty.

When Liu Biao heard this, he was so angry that he spat blood.

Liu Qi is forcing him to death. Then how can Liu Chuang resist you?

But I have to say that Liu Qi's call is quite tempting.

After he issued the notice, the righteous people of Jingzhou came to ...... Among them, there is Changsha righteous Xing Daorong, who is good at making a big axe and has the courage to be unstoppable. In addition, Jiang Wan, Li Yan and others went to Jiangxia to defect to Liu Qi.

Liu Chuang was also taken aback when he got the news of the turmoil in Jingzhou in Yanzhou.

He did a lot of calculations, but he didn't count Liu Qi...... No matter what you say, this guy is Liu Biao's eldest son.

Now that he has raised troops to resist, Liu Chuang has indeed caught Liu Chuang off guard.

But that's fine. Liu Chuang couldn't find an excuse to enter Jingzhou, but Liu Qi jumped out. And for good reason.

"Uncle, behind this Liu Qi, there must be Liu Bei secretly instigated, otherwise he wouldn't be able to say such words.

Since Liu Bei can't bear to jump out, and with Liu Qi's help, I'm afraid Liu Biao is not his opponent...... I want to send a soldier, I don't know what my uncle wants? ”

Xun Yu thought about it and smiled slightly.

"Since the lord has already made up his mind, why hesitate?"

"In that case, return to Luoyang immediately!"

That night, Liu Chuang issued 12 orders in a row, which were sent to Lujiang, Guangling, Nanyang and other places.

Later, he ordered someone to transfer Cao Xing from Wen County...... Cao Xing was seriously injured by Cao Zhang in the Tiger Prison Pass before, and he has always wanted to save face. Unexpectedly, Cao Cao was suddenly killed, which made Cao Xuan lose the object of revenge. Now that the old department of the Cao family has become a family, it is even more difficult for Cao Xing to find trouble with Cao Zhang. For a year, he stayed in Wenxian to recuperate. Now that Liu Chuang wants to use troops against Jingzhou, he thinks of Cao Xing. In this regard, Cao Xing was also extremely happy and rushed to Luoyang overnight.

The news that Liu Chuang was going to enter Jingzhou soon spread to Jingzhou.

When Liu Biao heard this, he was in a hurry, and hurriedly ordered Kuai Liang to lead a delegation to Luoyang and ask to see Liu Chuang.

His meaning is very clear: I will solve my own affairs, and I don't have to make a big deal out of you...... The prime minister still concentrated his forces on attacking Jiangdong. I will not change my mind about what I have decided, so please rest assured, Prime Minister.

When Kuai Liang arrived in Luoyang, it coincided with Liu Chuang's return to Luoyang.

"Mr. Kuai, you tell me, can Jingsheng Gong really calm down the civil strife?"

Kuai Liang also seemed a little hesitant, and thought for a while: "Liang is afraid that it is difficult to guarantee that Jingsheng Gong can calm the civil strife, but it can guarantee that Guiyang and Xiangyang will never make a mistake." ”

The Kuai clan has moved to Guiyang and has made contact with Buqi.

Once Guiyang was in danger, Buqi would send troops from Jiaozhou to help. With the strength of the Kuai clan and the help of Bu Qi, Guiyang will never be in danger in a short period of time. Even if there is real trouble, the Kuai clan can retreat to Jiaozhou for refuge.

As for Xiangyang......

The five surnames in Jingzhou, the heart of Liu Chuang is dominant.

There is also Cai Mao commanding the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou, and it is not easy for Liu Bei to seek it.

Liu Chuang couldn't help but nod lightly after hearing this.

It is true that he wants to send troops to Jingzhou, but it is undeniable that now he has used troops twice, the battle of Hanzhong has not ended, and the battle of Jiangdong is still continuing. Coupled with the calamities of Xianbei and other alien races in northern Xinjiang, it is indeed a lot of pressure to capture Jingzhou.

"That's it, I'll go to Nanyang as a soldier.

If there is any danger, Jing Shenggong can quickly inform me...... Please tell Jing Shenggong that the eldest prince is bewitched by a traitor, and I won't take it to heart. However, that Liu Bei, the hero of the world, if this person is not eliminated, Jingzhou may suffer from war. ”

Kuai Liang nodded vigorously, "I will definitely convey the prime minister's good intentions to Liu Jingzhou!" ”

After appeasing Kuailiang, Liu Chuang immediately sent someone to Guanzhong: The battle of Hanzhong should not be delayed for too long, Kong Ming is a great talent, and he should live up to my trust. Be sure to end the battle of Hanzhong before winter. Before the battle, Kong Ming can decide on his own.

This is tantamount to issuing an ultimatum to Zhuge Liang and ordering him to speed up.

I believe that Zhuge Liang can understand Liu Chuang's hardships, and he can even use his magic to end the battle of Hanzhong, so that Liu Chuang can get out.

At the beginning of July, Liu Chuang announced to the world that he personally led an army of 80,000 troops to Nanyang......

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

In autumn, the weather in Jiangdong is getting cooler.

Ling Cao lay in ambush on the bank of the Lishui River and raised his eyes to look at Lu'an City.

Lu'an at night. With a bit of gloom. In the pouring rain. It gives people an inexplicable feeling of desolation.

Ling Cao took a deep breath. Look at the soldier behind him.

In the reeds, thousands of Jiangdong Ruishi are hidden in them, and they are solemn on the surface.

Ling Cao knew very well in his heart that this battle should be related to the fate of Jiangdong. If Lu'an can be captured, the Han defense line will completely collapse. Previously, Zhou Yu's repeated onslaught in Hefei had already made Zhang Liao a little unable to support it. Capture Lu'an, capture Lu'an...... Just take Lu'an. Koto can get a respite and not be too strained.

However, after repelling the Han army this time, will Jiangdong really be able to stabilize it?

The Han army has stationed heavy troops in Guangling, and Xiahou Yuan personally supervised the battle, which is violent.

Fortunately, He Qi defeated the Han navy, so that the meeting was stable. Sun Quan was given the opportunity to draw troops and horses from Huiji and gather in Dantu. The battle of Huiji made He Qi mighty. Ling Cao could even sense the uneasiness in Zhou Yu's heart. Compared with. Ling Cao was more loyal to Sun Quan. When Sun Quan was an envoy to Beihai, he followed left and right.

Think of the North Sea. A burly figure suddenly flashed in Ling Cao's mind......

Who would have thought that the person who even needed to rely on Sun Bofu's snort back then would now achieve such a big thing.

At that time, that person was very kind to himself.

Pity......

Thinking of this, Ling Cao suddenly came to his senses, and quickly shook his head, expelling the mixed thoughts from his mind.

At this moment, I suddenly heard someone beside me: "General, look...... Childe signal! ”

Ling Cao hurriedly put his hand on the pergola to take a look, only to see that in the hazy rain and fog, there was a fire flickering on the head of Lu'an City.

That was the signal from Ling Tong!

As early as a month ago, Zhou Yu secretly ordered Ling Tong to lead people to infiltrate Lu'an.

After all, Zhou Yu is a native of Lujiang, and his connections in Lujiang are not idle...... He contacted a wealthy merchant in Lu'an City and covered for Ling Tong and more than 800 other people to infiltrate the city. The two sides agreed that they would only wait for tonight's operation, and Ling Tong would seize the city gate and send a signal when the time came. After Ling Cao received the signal, he led his troops into the city and took Lu'an in one fell swoop.

Nowadays, the Lingtong signal appears, indicating a qiēshun lì.

Ling Cao immediately perked up, pulled out his long knife, and said in a low voice: "Pass my order, and the three armies will attack with me!" ”

As he spoke, he rushed out of the reeds, taking advantage of the cover of night, and rushed to Lu'an. Behind him, three thousand Jiangdong Ruishi followed closely, and in the blink of an eye, they came to the foot of Lu'an City. I saw that the gate of Lu'an was wide open, and the city was deserted.

On the top of the city, there was a flash of fire, and it was obvious that Ling Tong had already succeeded.

"Sons, make a great contribution, just tonight!"

As Ling Cao spoke, he drew his sword and rushed into the gate of Lu'an City.

Three thousand Ruishi followed, but when Ling Cao rushed into the city gate with people, he immediately discovered the situation.

Inside the gate of Lu'an, there is an urn city......

What is Urn City?

The Urn City is a kind of defense facility in ancient towns. A small city was built outside the city gates, and from the outside, the walls of the small city were at the same height as the main city. Its shape is divided into square and round. Among them, the square is called the square city; The round shape is called the urn city.

The city gate that Ling Cao invaded was the gate of the urn city.

When he entered the urn city, he saw that the main gate of Lu'an was closed.

In Ling Cao's heart, the spirit spirit struck a chill, secretly screamed badly, and turned around to go out.

But it's easy to get in, but it's hard to get out. Not to mention that more than 1,000 people poured into the gate of the urn city, which was crowded. Just when Ling Cao noticed that something was wrong, he suddenly heard a gong sound from the city wall. Immediately after, I heard three loud noises. Three flames exploded inside the city gate, and hundreds of Jiangdong Ruishi were blown apart in the flames.

Immediately after, countless sandbags and stones were slanted down from the top of the city, and the gates were blocked in an instant.

On the four walls, the lights are bright.

On the tower of the main gate of Lu'an, there stood a general, with a golden helmet and golden armor, holding a big knife, and shouted: "Ling Cao, you and other tricks have already been seen through by my military division, just waiting for you to come and send you to death." Now that Gongzi has become a prisoner under the ranks, if he doesn't give up his arms and surrender immediately, when will he wait? ”

In the firelight, two wrestlers came to the city with a young man in their arms.

Ling Cao recognized at a glance that the young man was his beloved son Ling Cao......

"Gongjin misunderstood me!"

Ling Cao at this time, can he still understand the situation?

He had just hesitated for a moment when he heard the rumbling of war drums on the city gate.

The gate of the urn city is blocked, and there are still more than 1,000 Jiangdong Ruishi outside the city...... Seeing that the situation was not good, these people were about to storm the city gate and rescue Ling Cao and others, but they knew that they would kill two teams of men and horses from both sides outside the city, and they rushed into the chaos in the blink of an eye.

The chief general of the Han army is a young man.

I saw him leaping on his horse and twisting his gun, and shouted: "The Jiangdong dog thief still hasn't dismounted and surrendered, Qu A Xiaoling is here!" ”

The Han army came out, causing chaos in Jiangdong Ruishi outside the city.

After hesitating for a moment, Ling Cao suddenly stomped his foot and shouted loudly: "Sons, the time has come to be loyal to Wu Hou, follow me to attack." ”

The main general at the head of the city is none other than Li Dian.

Seeing Ling Cao's decision, he couldn't help but sneer, "The humane Jiangdong tiger and wolf man really lives up to his reputation.

In that case, send them back to the West! “

In an instant, countless archers appeared on the walls around the urn city. With Li Dian's order, arrows rained down and shot at the Jiangdong soldiers and horses in the urn city.

The urn city was empty, and there was no place to hide.

Ling Cao shouted loudly while wielding the knife to Diao Ling.

Unfortunately, his shouts were drowned out by the screams of the Jiangdong soldiers. I saw that the Jiangdong Ruishi were shot like hedgehogs one by one and fell in a pool of blood.

"Formation, formation to avoid arrows!"

Ling Cao held a shield in one hand and a sword in the other.

At this moment, a hint of alarm suddenly appeared in his heart...... It was too late, but it was fast, and a sharp arrow shot down from the city like lightning and went straight to Ling Cao. Ling Cao slashed his backhand and slashed at the sharp arrow, but before he could look back, he only heard Ling Tong's heart-rending scream: "Father, be careful!" ”

Ling Cao's heart moved, and he was about to dodge, but it was too late.

An arrow struck him in the leg, causing him to scream in pain and fall to his knees.

"Ling Cao, if you can block my three arrows, I will spare your father and son from dying!"

From the tower of the city gate, a cold voice was heard.

Ling Cao looked up and saw a young man dressed in white, dressed in linen and wearing filial piety, standing beside Li Dian, holding a treasure carving bow.

"Who is you?"

"A certain family is too Shi Xiang, Tai Shi Ci is my father, and I am here to take your dog's life today!" (To be continued......)
