Jingzhou Jiangxiakou.

Ten thousand sails cover the sky, and flags are everywhere.

Yuan Shu was dressed in armor, holding a sword and looking at his own water army, full of pride, as long as he could take Jiangxia, the erosion of Jingzhou would be a step, and the land of Jingxiang occupied by Liu Biao would be his Yuan Shu's sooner or later.

Yangzhou has hundreds of thousands of troops at this time, if he can take the land of Jingxiang, then he will have the rich land of Jingyang Erzhou, with a large population, and naturally more soldiers will be able to serve him.

Therefore, this battle can not be defeated, Yuan Shu is the king of Chu, and this time he personally conquered Jingzhou, just to stimulate morale, so that the soldiers are full of confidence, it is best to fight Jiangxia County, and when the time comes, the land of Jingxiang is not for him to intercept.

The soldiers of Shuizhai have been waiting for a long time, and their morale is high, and the commander has already told them that the king of Chu has an order in this battle, and whoever can take the lead in winning Jiangxia will be rewarded with a thousand gold, and the official will be promoted to three levels, and the shadow will be the heir.

Guns are all over the ground, and halberds are in hand.

The huge building ship has been floating on the water, like an arrow on the string, and the edict has been issued.

Yuan Shu is full of confidants and generals, this time almost all of them follow the left and right, come to a battle, the chief strategist is Yang Hong undoubtedly, and this battle Yang Hong originally did not want to launch, because he knew that the battle with Jingzhou at this time was not the best time, but Yuan Shu couldn't wait, Yangzhou developed rapidly, there were many generals, there was plenty of food and grass, and the armor was available, Yuan Shu, who wanted to achieve hegemony, couldn't wait, as long as he could take Jingzhou, and then turn around and knock out Jiangdong, who had been disobedient, the south would be in his hands, and then look at the north from afar, Who is the match!

Yang Hong's dissuasion was ineffective, so he could only follow, hoping that this battle would be won.

"Lord, the soldiers have been waiting for a long time, as long as the lord gives an order, the men of Yangzhou can fight for the lord, fight on the battlefield, take Jingzhou, let the blood of the Jingzhou people stain the red river, and raise the majesty of our Chu army!"

The henchman loves Ji Ling, this person is good at using a sixty-five pound three-pointed two-edged knife, and the end is mighty and extraordinary, at this time, the cowhide roared, it seems that the soldiers of Jingzhou are not taken into account at all, and let him kill and behead.

For Ji Ling's wild words, Yuan Shu did not reprimand, on the contrary, he agreed very much, Ji Ling is the first fierce general under his command, a good hand at attacking the city and pulling out the village, the battle of Xuzhou was handed over to him, if it were not for the Yuzhou Yellow Turban rebellion, maybe Ji Ling could take all of Xuzhou.

Ji Ling, who has made great achievements in battle, has a great prestige in the army, and his confidence can also inspire morale even more.

glanced at Ji Ling approvingly, and said, "Fu Yi, do you think this battle can win Jiangxia?" ”

Ji Ling's three-pointed and two-edged knife in his hand flickered, and he said in a tiger voice: "Lord, the men of the Chu army dare to fight to the death, and the lord inspires the soldiers in front of the army, Jiangxia can fight a battle, not to mention, Jiangxia is too protective of Huang Zu, this person has no ambitions, only by virtue of the Huang clan's maneuvering, he has sat in his current position, how can a guy who does not understand military affairs resist my tiger and wolf army!" ”

Yuan Shu smiled and said, "That's fine." ”

After saying that, his expression suddenly changed, and he ordered: "Attack, be sure to take Jiang Xia!" ”

The generals said "No", turned around and went to arrange.

At this time, Jiangxia Taishoufu was already in chaos.

All the generals of Taishou Huang Zu Zhaoji came to discuss the matter, but everyone was at a loss, and in the face of Yuan's strong coming, all the soldiers were afraid, and even many people had already put on the idea of surrendering, which made Huang Zu angry and killed.

However, at this time, the most important thing is how to face Yuan Shu's army, killing a few people will not stop Yuan Shu from attacking.

Just when everyone was arguing, suddenly someone outside the door reported it.

"Qi Yu Taishou, the Chu army is ready to attack, and it has sailed at this time, and the general hopes that Lord Taishou will reinforce as soon as possible!"

A former army scout reported, in the face of the powerful Chu army from Juzhou, no one in Jiangxia could resist it, the former army general was already asking for help, Huang Zu was in a hurry, in fact, Huang Zu can do the defense of a county, not the waste wood in Ji Ling's mouth, on the contrary, although this person seems to be reckless, but the stunt is not a few.

Huang Zu frowned, and when he heard this, everyone made an uproar again.

Huang Zu was so angry that he stood up and scolded loudly: "Shut up for me, what is the noise, it's useful to quarrel?" Can the Chu army retreat without attacking Jiangxia? A group of mediocre people, usually high-minded, but now that the matter is coming, they don't pay attention, a bunch of waste! ”

In the face of the royal family's reprimand, everyone's hearts were furious, but in the face of Huang Zu, who could draw his sword and kill people, no one dared to show his bad head.

Huang Zu thought for a while, and said to the people who didn't speak: "Everyone, on this occasion, we are deeply favored by King Jing, guarding Jiangxia, eating imperial grain, now is the time to serve King Jing, the Chu army is not good, but our Jingzhou army is not vegetarian, Jingzhou water army is elite, it is not so simple for the Chu army to take advantage of the number of people, as long as the generals use their lives, they will definitely be able to defeat the Chu army!" ”

But Huang Zu's encouragement didn't work, all the people still lowered their heads, facing Yuan Shu, they were afraid, and besides, you just scolded us, now it's good, and you want us to work hard for you, how can there be such a good thing in the world.

However, not everyone thought so, I saw a general wearing armor, stood up and said: "Taishou is right, we are all deeply favored by His Royal Highness King Jing, this is the time to repay King Jing's great kindness, and the last general is willing to lead the army to kill and retreat the enemy soldiers!" ”

Later, several generals stood up and expressed their willingness to serve King Jing, most of these people are Jingxiang people, their families and wives and children are in Xiangyang, they can't have anything to think about, otherwise Huang Zu only needs to report, and their wives and children will be unprotected.

Besides, Liu Biao's treatment of the generals over the years can indeed be regarded as a favor, grace and power, a good way to lure, thousands of miles of purge, and the people are satisfied. Under Liu Biao's conscientious governance, heavy farming, military salaries are sufficient, soldiers and armor are available, hard work, and orderly, Jingzhou can be regarded as one of the few peaceful and prosperous places in the world.

He also opened a school, loved the people and raised soldiers, calmly protected himself, based on thousands of miles, with more than 100,000 armor, called Jingjiang, most of these soldiers have been reused by Liu Biao, so at this time, many people remember Liu Biao's great grace.

With these people coming forward, Huang Zu's face was better, but Jiang Xia didn't have many soldiers and horses now, and it was definitely not good to divide his troops to meet the enemy, but he didn't have a better idea to come up with, so he could only ask everyone.

"Generals, I don't know who has a plan to retreat from the enemy now, but Jiang Xia is safe?"

Although the generals decided to stay, but except for fighting to the death with the Chu army, they had no plan to retreat from the enemy, so Huang Zu's plan was destined to fail, looking at Mu Ran who didn't know why he had to be generals, Huang Zu had a headache.

At this moment, a small general stepped forward.

"Qi Yu Taishou, the last general is willing to lead the water army to fight the Chu army, and with the power of the water army, win the first victory first and boost morale!"

Huang Zu looked at it and found that it was his son Huang Zhu who spoke, and immediately said angrily: "It's nonsense, Huangkou Xiao'er knows what is going on in the army, the Chu army is strong, how can the Jiangxia soldiers take the lead in the battle, okay, these things are not something you can do, I don't care about you when you are young, let's step back for the time being!" ”

Huang Zhu didn't know what his father would be angry about, but he was young and frivolous, thinking that this was really a good time for him to become famous, as long as he led the navy to defeat Yuan Shu, he would definitely be able to become famous Jingxiang, and maybe King Jing would reward himself at that time.

The more I thought about it, the hotter my heart became, but when I saw Huang Zu's murderous eyes, Huang Jie suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly retreated, but then he thought that when he went down, he took his own water army to attack Yuan Shu's water army Dazhai, and when the time came, his father should not blame him.

Ignoring Huang Jie's wild words, Huang Zu turned to look at the map, feeling irritated in his heart.

After a while, another scout came to report.

Yuan Shu's army was like a bamboo on the river, and the Jingzhou navy was defeated and fled, but fortunately, the Jingzhou navy was all elite, and the Chu army was just more people and more boats, and the water battle was not as good as the Jingzhou elite, so they were just defeated and did not have many casualties.

However, he always failed, and Huang Zu became more and more upset.

The most Lu later decided to ask Xiangyang for help again, and this time he decided to send his son Huang Shot, so that he could also stay away from the battlefield, Jiangxia at this time was too dangerous, Huang Zu had to think about himself and leave a bloodline heir.

However, the Chu army would definitely want to get Jiang Xia to ask for help, so if he didn't bring some troops, Huang Shot wouldn't be able to reach Xiangyang, so Huang Zu decided to let Huang Shoot take away a third of the water army, so that even if he died in battle, Huang Shot could revive the Huang family with these horses.

But he never dreamed that this time not only killed his son and lost Jiang Shui, but also caused Jiang Xia to fall into the hands of the Chu army and bury everything for himself, so he still ordered: "Huang Shoot to obey the order!" ”

Huang Shot thought that his father had figured it out and was going to send him to fight, so he said happily: "Huang Shot is here!" ”

How did Huang Zu surprise everyone's hearts with his words, he opened his mouth and said: "In view of the great strength of the Chu army, Ben Taishou decided to ask King Jing for help, and Ben Taishou decided to send 5,000 sailors to protect you out of Jiangxia and go to Xiangyang for help. ”

I don't know if Huang Shot was stunned, even the other soldiers were shocked by this order, and sent a third of Jiangxia's navy at once, which was originally difficult to resist in the face of the huge Chu army, Jiangxia's only sometimes is the advantage of the navy, but now what does Huang Zu mean!

Immediately, a general objected: "It's too much to guard, it's absolutely impossible!" ”

Huang Zu glared, stared at the man and shouted, "Why not! ”

Originally, Huang Zu thought that he could drink back the unconscious general, but how did he know that this person was not only not afraid, but said calmly: "It is too defensible, now the Jiangxia soldiers and horses are several times less than the Chu army, and our only advantage is the elite navy, if there are 5,000 sailors all of a sudden, then how can we resist the attack of the Chu army, so the last general thinks that it will definitely not work!" ”

Huang Zu's face was bruised, and he wanted to kill this person to vent his anger, but although he was reckless, he was not a fool, so he said: "What the general said is true, but have you ever thought that even with these five thousand people, you can defeat the powerful Chu army?" If you don't hurry up and ask King Jing for help, it will be too late, and if you lose Jiangxia, you can't bear this crime? ”

Facing Huang Zu's questioning, the general was speechless, the Chu army is strong, if there is no reinforcement, it is indeed impossible to hold it, but if these troops are missing, then Jiangxia may be captured in an instant.

Seeing that no one was stopping, Huang Zu directly ordered Huang Zhu to lead the army to Xiangyang, and the generals could only watch.
