Chapter Ninety-Six: Xiangyang is in a hurry!
Since the defeat of Wuling, Cai Mao, the governor of the Jingzhou Navy Army, and Zhang Yun led the remnants of the army all the way by boat and left in panic. After running for a day and a night, they arrived in Gangneung.
But the two never expected that when they arrived in Jiangling, what they saw from a distance was the banner of General Zhou of Pingnan flying high above the city!
Jiangling was actually captured by Zhou Qi!
This news is quite shocking for the two. Gangneung occupies the water conservancy, and since ancient times, it has been an important fulcrum connecting Xiangyang with the three southern counties, and it is also an important barrier!
Now that it has been captured, Xiangyang is in danger!
Hit, right? What to hit!
This time, the 40,000 naval army was almost wiped out, and the 40 large ships accumulated over the years were even more gone. General Cai Zhanger stood at the bow of the ship and was relatively speechless. The sailors trained for many years did not have a surplus of 7,000 people.
Use this little water army at hand to attack the city? It's completely the old birthday star eating arsenic. The frost is tired!
The two generals immediately decided to go down the river and turn north from Jiangxia. Rushing to Xiangyang with the speed of the water, this important situation must be informed of the lord Liu Biao as soon as possible! It is best to attack from the land. If it is in time, for the sake of conveying important military information and his sister Mrs. Cai, Liu Biao should be able to open up and reduce the responsibility of the two for the defeat.
When Zhou Qi took Changsha, it was the time when the two generals rushed to Xiangyang. As soon as Cai Maofang entered the city, he saw the movement of soldiers and horses in the city. couldn't help but glance at Zhang Yun. Could it be that the news of the capture of Gangneung has reached the ears of the lord? Isn't their behavior like a bamboo basket drawing water?
The second general was so frightened that he didn't dare to see Liu Biao immediately, and only asked someone he knew about it.
This question is only known!
It turned out that just the day before yesterday, Tanmalai reported that a military horse appeared in the direction of Xinye City, and it seemed to be coming from the direction of Runan. In one day, he conquered Xinye, occupied the city, and approached Xiangyang. Hence this troop mobilization.
Cai Zhang Er will hear it, so it is! Immediately, he didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly went to the mansion to meet Liu Biao.
Liu Biao was discussing the military situation with the ministers and generals in the hall, and suddenly heard that Cai Mao and Zhang Yun asked to see him, and his heart trembled, and he suddenly felt bad! With the virtue of his brother-in-law, if he wins in Wuling, he will never return quietly and low-key!
"Quick pass!" Liu Biao hurriedly ordered to go down, and the two of them came to see him immediately!
Before long, I saw Cai Mao, Zhang Yun tied his hands, walked up to the hall with his hair draped, and fell to the ground with a pop from afar!
"My lord! The criminal minister Cai Mao (Zhang Yun) was ashamed of his high hopes for the lord, and the Wuling army was defeated and returned. ”
"What!" When Liu Biao heard this, he immediately took the case and was about to attack, looked down at his brother-in-law's embarrassed appearance, and flashed the delicate figure of Mrs. Cai in his mind, and then forced his anger to sit down again.
"Humph! Don't tell the truth soon, but when! ”
Cai Mao heard Liu Biao say this, and heard that the meaning of releasing water had been stored in the words. When he was about to land at the boundary of Wuling, he found the enemy's traces. The suspicion of leaks has intensified. As for how the army was defeated, it was only deduced that the enemy was attacking in the starry night, and the two led the people to fight the river for a long time, and they were defeated because the naval army was not good at foot fighting.
The leak was reported earlier. can lead the crowd to fight hard for a long time, such nonsense, and nine out of ten people in the entire hall do not believe it. If it weren't for Liu Biao's face, I was afraid that someone would have already stood up and pointed at his nose and scolded, would you dare to be a little more shameless when you spoke?
When Cai Mao talked about leading the defeated army to retreat to Gangneung, he found that Gangneung had been lost! Before he could finish speaking, Liu Biaoteng almost jumped up from the chair! Trembling all over, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Cai Mao.
"You said Gangneung was lost! Is this true? ”
"Back to the lord! This matter was seen by General Zhang Yun and I with our own eyes, and there is absolutely no half-talk! ”
Liu Biao's body shook, his heart was filled with anger, and he almost fell headlong! The defeat of Wuling is just that, and now Xingye is occupied, and Xiangyang is only across the river. If this important town of Gangneung is lost again, how can it be good! I knew that Zhou Qi was so powerful this time, and I regretted that I didn't want to provoke him in the first place!
Changsha City.
After thinking about it, Zhou Qi immediately denied Sun Jian's idea of taking advantage of the situation to attack Jingzhou. There are warlords such as Wang Lang and Yan Baihu entrenched in the six counties of Jiangdong, eyeing them from the side. There is no reason for him to leave the prosperous land behind him without guns and cross the river to take Jingzhou.
The only possibility is that other forces intervened, which caused Jingzhou's soldiers and horses to move. Due to the change in the course of history, the world is in turmoil. It's hard to say who it will be.
And at this moment, the psychic sense he emanated in the distance moved. Zhou Qi raised his head, the corners of his mouth smiled slightly, the person he was waiting for was here! Immediately, the figure flashed out of the mansion, and a moment later it was already on the city wall north of Changsha.
As soon as Zhou Qi climbed the city wall on his front foot, he found that the veteran Huang Zhonghou and Han Xuan had already stood at the head of the city early.
"My lord." When the two saw him coming, they saluted together.
"Old General Huang, Lord Han, don't be polite." Zhou Qi hurriedly reached out and gently supported the arms of the two. Just as the three of them were greeting each other, the sound of horses' hooves faintly came from the distant ground line.
Huang Zhong and Han Xuan glanced at each other, and they couldn't hide their surprise. Yesterday, I heard that the lord said that Wei Yan would definitely come today, and the two of them had been waiting at the head of the city since early in the morning, and they had not seen Wei Yan for a long time. But now, as soon as the lord arrived at the head of the city, there was movement. Could it be that this young lord really has the ability to know the world?
As the sound of horses' hooves approached. The veteran Huang Zhong was born with eagle eyes, and he saw hundreds of cavalry from a distance, in the dust flying behind the horse, the first person was dressed in heavy armor, his face was like a heavy jujube, and he was holding a big knife with a double blade in front and back, it was his friend Wei Yan Wei Wenchang!
"Shhh The Lord is a true god and a man! Huang Zhong gasped. I didn't feel a little more awe of Zhou Qi in my heart! Martial arts aside, with this kind of mind and the ability of unpredictable prophets, how can mortals have.
Outside the city, Wei Yan saw Changsha in sight, and he was secretly happy in his heart. After a lot of hurried days and nights, I finally got here. Only now I only hope that Han Xuan can evenly produce grain and grass to solve the urgent need.
Wei Yan hurried to the moat and stood still. Just about to call out to the soldiers to lower the drawbridge and let them pass.
Look up! I can't close my mouth when I open it wide! His eyes were wide open, almost falling out of his sockets.
Aren't you dazzled?
Wei Yan hurriedly reached out and rubbed his eyes! Looking up again, I saw the figures of three people peeking out of the battlements on the city wall. The person on the left is Han Xuan, the Taishou of Changsha, and one of them is a young military general with short hair. And the one standing on the right, with a golden helmet and golden armor all over his body, and a fluttering white beard on his chin! Behind him is a large crimson bow! But it's not who the veteran Huang Zhong is!
"Why is General Huang here? Could it be that the Battle of Wuling is over? The surprise in Wei Yan's heart was like a surging river. I stammered and didn't know how to express my feelings.
Zhou Qi smiled in his heart, half of the reason why he rushed to the city wall was because of his bad taste, and he wanted to see with his own eyes the stunned look of Wei Yan, the general he had never met.
While Wei Yan was startled and distracted, a ghostly light flashed in Zhou Qi's eyes, and the spiritual detection was quietly activated.
"Wei Yan, Race: Human; Strength 155, Agility 121, Constitution 130, Adaptability 109, Spirit 110, Intelligence 97, Natural Skills:
1. Double-edged knife mastery: When fighting with a double-edged knife, the damage is increased by 200%, the critical hit chance is increased by 10%, and the critical damage is increased by 150%;
2. Flame Pole Twin Stars: Use the Double-edged Knife to launch 5 attacks in a row, each attack will deal 125% weapon damage, and after successfully dealing 3 damage in total, the last two attacks will add an additional 300 ignition damage; ”
3. Musou Flurry. Spiral Shattering Slash: Dou Qi summons a storm of destruction to sweep the battlefield, causing 800 non-attribute damage and 500 ignition attribute damage to all enemies within a radius of 100 meters.
Identity: Historical general, deputy general of Changsha City. 25% of your own attributes are increased to your subordinates;

Three Kingdoms: HP is increased by an additional 800 points, and the charging time of Musou is reduced by 30%; 3. Courage: When fighting at a disadvantage, all attributes are temporarily increased by 10%. ”
Looking at Wei Yan's attributes, Zhou Qi secretly admired in his heart. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it is no wonder that Wei Yan was able to take the lead in the late Shu Han period. Sure enough, there is no vanity under the fame. Not to mention anything else, the effect of the title of Battlefield Evil Star alone is enough to blind everyone's eyes.
"Come on, put down the drawbridge!" Huang Zhong turned his head to finish giving instructions to the sergeant, and turned his head to look at Wei Yan. "Chief Wen also asked to dismount and go into the city to speak."
"Wait! Han Taishou, General Huang, dare to ask if the Wuling War is over? Wei Yan waved the double-edged knife in his hand and asked loudly at the city, while setting his eyes on Zhou Qi. There was a hint of suspicion.
"What Wen Chang said is good, the battle of Wuling is over."
"Oh! That Wei Yan congratulated the old general on taking Wuling City. With that, Wei Yan arched his fists at Huang Zhong with a horizontal knife. His gaze still did not leave Zhou Qi for half an inch.
"Wen Chang! To tell the truth, under the city of Wuling, Huang has led the army to join General Zhou. Even this Changsha was already owned by Lord Zhou Qi yesterday. ”
"So the old general and Han Taishou have turned their backs on the lord Liu Biao, and now they are all under the command of General Na Pingnan? But I don't know why! After listening to Huang Zhong, Wei Yan's face was straight, there was no respect and smile on his face, and his eyes were still staring at Zhou Qi.
"This ......" Huang Zhong's face turned red, he was a straightforward person, and he was suddenly speechless. groaned slightly, and simply gritted his teeth.
"What does Wen Chang think Huang thinks of you on weekdays?"
"The old general treats me Wei Yan like a brother! A certain family usually bears the care of the general, and I feel something, and I dare not forget it! ”
"Huang now wants to invite Wen Chang to join me in serving the lord Zhou Qi, I don't know what Wen Chang wants?"
"The so-called loyal ministers are not the two masters! The old general has an order, Wei Yan will not give up, but this matter cannot be agreed! ”
"Haha! What a loyal minister, not two masters! But I don't know which family General Wei Yan is doing? Liu Jingsheng attacked Wuling without authorization, and the intention of rebellion has been revealed, where is his loyalty? ”
When Wei Yan heard this, his brows tightened. This man is such a powerful word! One sentence will block yourself to death!
"Dare to ask who is talking to the head of the city?"
"It's Zhou Qi! I have heard Wei Yan and Wei Wen grow up for a long time, and I don't want to see each other today! ”
"It turns out that you are the Jingnan Marquis Zhou Qi? As you say, why did you come to capture Changsha? ”
"General Wei, may I ask what is the official position of Zhou?"
"As Wei Yan remembers, General Zhou is the Marquis of Jingnan, leading the post of General Pingnan." As soon as Wei Yan spoke, he suddenly reacted!
This week's leader is the general of Pingnan, and the imperial court has the position of general of the Quartet of Zhengdong, Sweep North, Zhenxi, and Pingnan! Full-time counterinsurgency, expand territory and open up territory. The lord Liu Biao started the incident without authorization, and he is suspected of rebellion! Now that Zhou Qi has come to conquer with this, there is no problem in the general righteousness!
He was taken into the pit by his words!
