"Brother Taemin, what do you mean by that? The court trusts you, which is why you serve as the Taishou of Danyang and the shepherd. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info At this critical time, you have to shirk your responsibility. "Although I know that Zhou Xin is very likely to give up Danyang sincerely, the posture still has to be done. Besides, he didn't know if Zhou Xin had other thoughts in this.

"Yes, because of his duties, the younger brother brought people into Danyang, because he was not angry that some people were dissatisfied with the arrival of the younger brother, so he occupied several county seats. But as long as Brother Tai Ming said a word, the younger brother would immediately withdraw from Danyang and never stay for another day. ”

As soon as Zhou Xin heard this, he complained in his heart, if you will listen to me, you will withdraw when you are diving. is obviously greedy for the land of Danyang, but he has to pretend to be dedicated to the public.

But then again, who doesn't act in the name of justice? Even Wu Jing, the Danyang Taishou appointed by Yuan Shu, came to take away his own legitimate imperial court appointed Taishou, isn't it also under the banner of "saving the people of Danyang from fire and water"!

"Zhiyuan misunderstood, it's not for my brother to shirk responsibility, it's really powerless!" Zhou Xin returned to his normal tone, "Learning Confucian classics for my brother is to govern the country and secure the people, but the Han River is declining, so that chaos is everywhere, and I really can't deal with it, so I have to entrust Danyang to Zhiyuan." ”

"For my brother to go to work alone, in two or three years, I only controlled the surrounding 6 counties, and there are many hidden enemies, I am really ashamed to disobey my brother. The two younger brothers were also unbearable and were banished. Only Brother Zhiyuan, in the 4 counties of Jiangdong, has strong strength and can be a high-grade responsibility. Zhou Xin explained.

"Brother Taiming's intentions, I understand, I only blame this troubled world, and I wasted Brother Taiming's talents." Liu Feng said with emotion, "It's just that the younger brother doesn't understand, Wu Jing is also in Danyang, and he uses soldiers like a god, why didn't Brother Taiming hand over Danyang to him?" ”

"Since Zhiyuan said so, then I will say it directly. There are several reasons why Wu Jing was abandoned. Zhou Xin said, "First, Wu Jing is here for Yuan Highway, and Zhiyuan You know, I am optimistic about Yuan Benchu, originally broke with the highway, even if he is far away in Hebei now, I can't help the expansion of Yuan Highway, and give Danyang to Wu Jing in vain." ”

"Second, Wu Jing is a person, in order to occupy Danyang, he did not hesitate to use force. He only had 500,000 people when he crossed the river, but now he can pull out an army of 3 million to attack, which has had a serious impact on the livelihood of the people in the six northern counties. If I don't sympathize with the people, how can I rest assured that Danyang will be handed over to him. ”

"Third, you have the courage and courage to come in person. If you hadn't come or come with a large army, I wouldn't have made that decision. ”

"In the end, of course, you have a good relationship with Ben Chu and Meng De, so I have one more condition, as long as you agree, I will immediately hand over the few counties that are still in my hands to you."

"Okay, you say." If there are really no conditions, Liu Feng is not at ease.

"I also said just now, it is Yuan Benchu who is optimistic, if you can agree, if Yuan Benchu hits Jiangnan one day, I hope you can let Danyang out. Although I also know that this is not very likely, I still hope to be lucky. Zhou Xin said.

"What does that mean?" Liu Feng muttered in his heart, "If that's the case, it's almost like giving it away for nothing, expecting Yuan Shao to hit the south of the Yangtze River, it's better to expect me to go north to the Central Plains!" Zhou Xin said this, is Yuan Shao really that possible? ”

"No, no, it won't be, in that case, what should Cao Cao do? What about Liu Bei? The current situation of Yuan Shao is far worse than in history, can it still be reversed? No, definitely not, even if Yuan Shao went to Jiangnan, he was definitely forced to come and flee for his life in a hurry. Yes, it must be. Liu Feng thought to himself.

"Zhiyuan, what do you think?" Seeing that Liu Feng was silent, Zhou Xin asked again, "I have no other requirements." ”

"Ah, I'm sorry for the distraction." Liu Feng came back to his senses, "I can promise Brother Taiming, but only Yuan Benchu himself, and besides, he must come with the general trend." If he runs for his life and begs for shelter, Brother Taiming should not blame me for not being merciful. ”

"Okay, I promise you." Zhou Xin thought to himself, Yuan Benchu was abandoned by the Yuan family, even if he went south, it must be a show off, if he was really down, he would never go to the south of the Yangtze River.

"I have one more condition." Liu Feng said again.

"Zhiyuan just said." Zhou Xin said this, but his heart hung up.

"I hope that Brother Taemin will continue to serve as a Taishou until the end of the war." Liu Feng said, "Besides, even after Wu Jing is repelled, I hope that Xian Kunzhong will continue to stay and help me." ”

"Originally, our brothers thought that after handing over Danyang to Zhiyuan, they would return to their hometowns to write books behind closed doors, but since Zhiyuan said so, then we will do our part for the Han again." Zhou Xin put his mind at ease.

"Okay, I'll contact my subordinates and come as soon as possible to block Wu Jing's attack." Liu Feng stood up and said in a deep voice.

……

After receiving Liu Feng's news, Bai Jian and Xun You arranged the affairs of their hometown as quickly as possible, and set off to Wanling with an army of 1.5 million. It took 20 days to enter Wanling City and take over the defense of Wanling.

"Captain Bai, you take 800,000 people and set off immediately to Wuhu to support. Focus on defense, and wait for my side to complete the integration and convergence, and then counterattack. Liu Feng ordered.

The battle in Wuhu lasted for nearly a month, and it was still a stalemate, but the losses of the soldiers in the city were very large. If it weren't for the full preparation made in front of the station, and Zhou Ang personally defending the city to boost morale, I am afraid that it would have been broken by Wu Jing long ago.

Liu Feng didn't want Wu Jing to take the county seat that already belonged to him, so he immediately sent the strongest generals to support. As for Wanling City, he believed that with Xun You and a group of generals here, he would definitely be able to do it.

But it's a pity that too much time was delayed, before Bai Jian arrived in Wuhu, Wu Jing had already broken the city, Zhou Ang retreated in a hurry with the only remaining 200,000 people, and met Bai Jian's army halfway, and was directly absorbed by Bai Jian. After analyzing the situation, Bai Jian thought about it for a long time, let half of the troops be divided, mainly Ling Cao, and let him and Zhou Ang go to defend Liyang together. And himself, with a large army, galloped to the aid of Spring Valley.

Liyang is one of Zhou Xin's key garrisons, and there are also more than 1 million troops, plus 500,000 reinforcements this time, it is not a problem to hold on. And Chungu was also transferred a group of troops to leave, and there were only tens of thousands of regular troops left, if Wu Jing arrived first, he might have surrendered directly.

Fortunately, this time, Bai Jian rushed ahead of Wu Jing, stationed in Chungu in advance, took over the defense, and at the same time ordered local conscription. The people of Danyang are fierce, and the young and strong are the most suitable soldiers, and with a little training, defending the city is not a problem.

With Zhou Xin's cooperation, Liu Feng quickly took control of Wanling, and there were uncooperative clans, and after Liu Feng killed a few chickens and monkeys, he also became honest, knowing that this new steward was not as easy to talk as the previous Taishou.

After taking over the soldiers of Zhou Xin of Wanling, Liu Feng personally took charge of an army of 1.3 million people, leaving 500,000 to defend the city, Liu Feng and Xun You rushed to Spring Valley with the rest of the army to prepare to fight Wu Jing.

Yes, it is Spring Valley, after Wu Jing broke through Wuhu, he vented his anger for two days and immediately led people to Spring Valley. wanted to take Chungu County with the speed of soldiers, but unfortunately he was blocked outside the city by Bai Jian. Liu Feng came to fight Wu Jing head-on to decide the final ownership of Danyang. (To be continued.) )
