On November 18, snowflakes were dancing in the sky.
This year's winter has come very quickly, although it has just begun, it is already bitterly cold and quite cold.
Youxian battalion, army colonel field.
Liu Xiu was dressed in armor, wearing a silver helmet, and a green sword at his waist, and he was mighty. On his solemn face, there is a calmness and sophistication that is not comparable to his age. His sharp eyes swept over the soldiers, and he said loudly: "Jiangdong has repeatedly violated the border, humiliated my people, robbed my family property, and if you don't destroy the Jiangdong Sun clan, it's not enough to comfort the dead soldiers, and if you don't destroy the Jiangdong Sun clan, it's not enough to comfort the injured people." Today, the official swore to go out to fight against Jiangdong. ”
"Crusade against Koto"
Under the high platform, Huang Zhong raised the big knife in his hand and shouted loudly.
"Crusade against Koto"
"Crusade against Koto"
The sound of one after another echoed and circled in the school field, and it lasted for a long time.
It was only after a long time that the soldier's voice stopped.
Liu Xiu's eyes were sharp, and he said again: "The sacrifice to the sky begins"
At the sound of an order, the soldier carried the melons and fruits that had been prepared and placed them on the high platform. The person in charge of the sacrifice came up and, after a series of rituals, said in a loud voice: "Offering incense"
Liu Xiu took the long incense handed over by the soldiers, saluted respectfully, and then faced all the soldiers and said loudly: "God bless me, destroy Jiangdong." ”
"God bless me and destroy Jiangdong. ”
Deng Zhan's voice sounded below.
Deng Ai also stood in the ranks, he stood with the soldiers, feeling the majestic momentum, and also shouted loudly: "God bless me, destroy Jiangdong." ”
"God bless me and destroy Jiangdong. ”
"God bless me and destroy Jiangdong. ”
The soldiers shouted loudly, and the continuous sound resounded in the sky.
"Departure"
Liu Xiu pulled out the Qingyu Sword with a sonorous voice and gave a resolute order.
Huang Zhong was the head of the First Route Army, and he received instructions from Liu Xiu to immediately order action. The order flag waved, and the 10,000 troops under Huang Zhong's command moved quickly and rushed out of the school field with a bang.
After the First Route Army left, Deng Zhan then ordered, and the 10,000 troops of the Second Route Army were also dispatched.
The two armies left Youxian in a mighty way.
Liu Xiu, Deng Zhan, Zhao Yun, Huang Hu, and Deng Ai went all the way to Xiajun County in the north. This battle was Liu Xiu's first battle against Yuzhang County, and the news of the battle spread quickly.
Yuzhang County, Nanchang County.
Taishou House
Sun Ben and Tai Shici sat opposite each other, and their expressions were slightly solemn.
The news of Liu Xiu's dispatch of troops shocked Yuzhang County.
No one expected that Liu Xiu would send troops in the cold winter, but this is already a fact.
Sun Ben said: "Ziyi, Liu Xiubing attacked in two ways, his intention was to occupy the northern and southern counties of Yuzhang County at the same time. Liu Xiu's ambition is very big, and he is even more aggressive. What do you think of this battle?"
Tai Shici was not in a hurry or impatient, and said: "I think that Liu Xiu is not afraid enough. According to the news sent back, Liu Xiu's two-way army, each with only 10,000 troops. I think that as long as the counties can't stick to it, with the current cold winter weather, Liu Xiu will not be able to last long. In the end, Liu Xiu could only retreat in defeat. ”
Sun Ben nodded and said: "It's cold, and the current time is indeed not good for Liu Xiu." ”
Tai Shi Ci said: "In addition to the strategy of taking defense, I think the troops should also be divided into two routes, respectively, to take the front line to prevent the resistance of the Jingzhou soldiers." Our aim is simple, to play defensively. The right time, place and people are in our hands, Liu Xiu will be as difficult as climbing to the sky to win, this battle, Liu Xiu will lose"
Sun Ben said: "If you choose to divide the troops, the only arrangement is that I lead the army and you lead the army." General Ziyi, which army do you want to resist?"
Tai Shici said without hesitation: "I want to fight with Liu Xiu"
In the hands of Liu Xiu, Tai Shi Ci was defeated again and again, and he was defeated in the hands of Liu Xiu several times in a row, and Tai Shi Ci was unwilling. In this battle, the battlefield was Yuzhang County, which was Tai Shici's home field. He wants to defeat Liu Xiu on his own territory, and he will be ashamed.
Sun Ben said: "Since you choose to resist Liu Xiu, then you will lead the troops there." I led my troops south to resist Huang Zhong. ”
Tai Shi Ci said: "Is the grain in Yuzhang County enough?"
Sun Ben said: "Don't worry, no problem." ”
When Tai Shi Ci heard this, he was completely relieved. The weather is cold, and it is a long way to transport grain from Wu County to Yuzhang County, which is very inconvenient. Yuzhang County has enough grain stocks, and there will be no problem if this war is protracted.
Sun Ben instructed: "Let's go, go your own way." ”
The two looked at each other, each went out of the government office, and each went to the military camp to transfer troops and start to act.
Poyang Lake, the naval army camp.
Most of the capital oversaw the camp tent, and Zhou Yu also received the news that Liu Xiu had sent troops.
Cheng Pu sat in the camp tent with a serious face, and said slowly: "Governor Dadu, Liu Xiu's troops are attacking Yuzhang County in two ways, do we need to make some moves to send troops to support Yuzhang County." ”
Zhou Yu waved his hand and said, "If Sun Ben and Tai Shici are enough to solve Liu Xiu's two-way army, and we lead our troops to support, wouldn't it be a snake to add to the problem?"
Cheng Pu said: "Tai Shi Ci has been defeated in the hands of Liu Xiu one after another, and it may be difficult for him to defeat Liu Xiu." ”
Zhou Yu chuckled twice and said: "Tai Shi Ci has been defeated and fought repeatedly, and his fighting spirit is high, this is a good thing, it doesn't matter if he fails, as long as he wins once, and then kills Liu Xiu, it is enough." Now, let's wait and see what happens, and if the situation in Yuzhang County is unfavorable, it's not too late to support. The most important thing is that it is already the middle of November, and we will attack Jiangxia at the beginning of spring next year, and the time is also very tight. If you can not send troops, it will be the most perfect result. ”
Cheng Pu nodded, and then stopped mentioning the matter of Yuzhang County.
Zhou Yu said again: "In short, continue to pay attention to the situation in Yuzhang County and report back at any time." ”
"No"
When Cheng Pu heard this, he turned around and retreated.
Xiajun County, located in the north of Changsha County, is named after Junshui. Liu Xiu led his troops north, and when he arrived in Xiajun County, he rested in Xiajun County for a day, and then went east out of Xiajun County and approached Ai County.
Ai County is located to the west of Yuzhang County, bordering Xiajun County.
Liu Xiu led an army of 10,000 troops, drove straight in, entered the territory of Ai County, and arrived at the county seat of Ai County without encountering any resistance.
On the tower of the city, flags were unfurled, and the army was arrayed.
Tai Shici stood on the city tower, looking at the Jingzhou soldiers who were already arrayed outside the city, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Finally, I met Liu Xiu again.
After he left Nanchang County, he led an army of 5,000 elites to Ai County quickly. Counting the 5,000 troops stationed in Ai County, the number of troops mobilized by Tai Shici is not less than 10,000. In addition, the city of Ai County is tall and has a great geographical advantage. It is not an easy thing for Liu Xiu to easily take Ai County.
Liu Xiuce immediately stepped forward and stopped outside the city.
Looking at the city tower, Liu Xiu saw Tai Shi Ci, and Tai Shi Ci also saw Liu Xiu.
When the two met, the enemies were very red-eyed when they met.
Liu Xiu had a smile in his eyes, and said loudly: "General Taishi, the place where we fought for the first time was in Jiuxu Mountain in the east of Ancheng County. At that time, you were ambushed, your troops were lost, not only Sun Shangxiang was captured, but even the military camp was burned. ”
"The second time we fought, you thought that Youxian was empty, and led your troops to drive straight into Youxian County. In the end, because the official had already expected it, he laid a heavy ambush and encircled you. You have fled, but your forces have been lost. ”
Liu Xiulang said: "Today is our third battle, and this time, I'm afraid you will lose the city again." In my opinion, instead of surrendering in the final gloomy defeat, it is better to lead the soldiers to withdraw from Ai County now, and you can still save your strength and save face. Keep fighting, and you'll lose face again. ”
The mean and tricky words made Tai Shi Ci angry.
He pressed the female wall with both hands, leaned forward slightly, stared at Liu Xiu, and shouted: "Liu Xiu, you have the ability to break the city." Ben will be standing on the tower, waiting for you to break the city. ”
Liu Xiu said: "It's easy to break Ai County. General Taishi, you are a talented general with the demeanor of a general, and following Sun Quan is a pearl of secret investment. If Kaesong surrenders, this official will definitely reuse you, and you will definitely be able to shine. ”
