Jingling, a riverside water village.

Jingling was originally just a small city by the river, but because of the loss of Jiangxia, Zhang Yun had to lead his troops to set up a water village here to prevent the Chu army from approaching further.

However, because of Liu Bei, Zhang Yun's 20,000 soldiers and horses were reduced to 10,000, and the other 10,000 had been transferred back to Xiangyang.

The main Liu Biao was worried that Liu Bei would take the opportunity to go north.

However, at present, Jingzhou's troops are already stretched, and there is a feeling of carelessness, which is also the result that Chu Feng originally wanted.

On the river, several small boats wandered.

These small boats were mainly responsible for guarding against the Chu army, but because the Chu army asked for peace, these patrol ships were reduced a lot, and Chu Feng thought about sending someone to assassinate him.

However, this group of hanging hairs can't escape quickly.

Almost as soon as he found Chu Jun approaching, there was a clanging sound from the small boat, and he ran wildly towards the water village in the distance, seeing this, Chu Feng was simply not in a hurry.

Just let the sailors line up, drop anchor and stop the ship.

At this moment, he brought 20,000 naval troops, the Central Army, the trapped camp, the remnants of Zhang Fan, etc., about 40,000 people, vast and mighty, covering the entire Yangtze River, and they were all elite.

In the water village, the sound of the boat's gold spread out.

Zhang Yun, who was lying in the house for leisure, heard the restlessness outside the village, and instantly became nervous, a spirit sat up, and immediately got up and grabbed the sword.

"What's the situation?" Zhang Yun asked out of the village.

The surrounding guards didn't know for the time being, but at this moment, another general hurriedly ran over and shouted: "General, disaster is coming, Chu army, Chu army is coming!" ”

"Damn, didn't you please make peace?"

Zhang Yun was annoyed and couldn't help but scold, he knew that Chu Feng's deceit could not end so easily: "How many people have come from the Chu army, who is in charge of the army?" ”

"Lord, according to the scout team, the offender is Chu Feng, as for the troops, they didn't see it clearly, but the entire river is densely packed with Chu troops."

The adjutant general said with a solemn expression and anxiety.

"What do you say? Densely packed all of them? "Zhang Yun's calf is a little weak, this Chu army is notoriously awesome, he saw it when he beat Huang Zu before.

Now, there are only 10,000 people under his command.

If Chu Feng came with a bunch of people, how could he fight himself?

"General, why don't you ask Jingzhou for help first? We are definitely not Chu Feng's opponents! The lieutenant was nervous and somewhat incoherent.

"Well, I have to ask for help!" Zhang Yun nodded, but before he could give an order, another person rushed over.

"Report~, General Qiyu, Chu Feng envoy arrived, just outside the water village, and came to say that this is about the general's life." The soldier said nervously.

"An envoy is here?" Zhang Yun raised his eyebrows.

"General, do you want to see you?" The adjutant general gestured.

"Go, please gather the envoys in the village." Zhang Yun's eyes rolled, and he nodded immediately.

To be honest, when the news of Liu Bei's annexation of Zhang Xian came back, he already didn't have much hope for Liu Biao, and at this moment, Liu Biao had only 30,000 soldiers and horses, how to fight?

And these soldiers and horses didn't listen to Liu Biao's dispatch very much.

After a while, inside the water village.

The person who came was Lu Xun, who was very old, but he looked more calm and sophisticated, and he was obviously prepared.

"Under the command of General Chu Feng, General Lu Xun has seen the general!" Lu Xun is humble and polite.

"I've heard General Lu's name for a long time, but I don't know what happened to the general?" Zhang Yun pretended to be puzzled, he naturally knew that Lu Xun was coming to Zhao'an at this time.

"At this point, one is to protect the head of the general, and the other is to show the way for the general."

"My lord is a descendant of the Yuan family, the protégés of the Yuan family are all over the world, and my lord is both civil and military, and his forces span Xu, Yang, Henan, and Jing."

"There are hundreds of thousands of armor under his command, and the people are even more in the tens of millions. Outside the water village this time, my lord personally led an army of 100,000 to prepare to capture this place. ”

"Dare to ask the general, how long can this group of crooked melons and cracked dates in the village stop my lord's army?" Lu Xun is neither humble nor arrogant, and his speech and demeanor are confident and bold.

When the words fell, Zhang Yun and his subordinates pondered.

If there are no reinforcements, the tomb will be lost.

"But my lord doesn't like killing, I have long heard that General Zhang is a genius in civil and military affairs, as long as the general is willing to submit, he will enjoy the same treatment as Huang Zu in the future."

Lu Xun took advantage of the other party's hesitation and added,

"This!!" Zhang Yun raised his eyebrows, a little hesitant.

"General Zhang, you should also know that Liu Bei annexed Zhang Xian, and it is no longer under Liu Biao's control, Liu Biao has soldiers and horses under his command at the moment, at most twenty or thirty thousand people."

"The key is that those people are still not of the same mind, now that Liu Biao's general trend has gone, it is a foregone conclusion, and he should be able to see it clearly with the general's vision, right?"

Lu Xun chuckled and said,

He asked himself, Zhang Yun couldn't bear these words in his heart.

"This..."Zhang Yun hesitated, not knowing what to do.

"Hehe, don't hide it from the general, the Cai family has communicated with my lord many times, as long as my main army is in the city, the Cai family will personally bring a group of soldiers and horses to surrender."

Lu Xun was a little induced,

This Zhang Yun's fortitude is beyond his imagination.

"The Cai family has a secret communication with the Duke of Chu?" Zhang Yun was surprised, he was really frightened by this Zhang Yun.

"Naturally," Lu Xun chuckled, and immediately handed over the letter that the Cai family had sent to Chu Feng earlier, to corroborate what Lu Xun said just now.

Zhang Yun immediately took it, you know, he said that to put it bluntly, he was under the command of the Cai family, and he had never heard Cai Mao say that he would let him take refuge in Chu Feng.

After browsing for a while, Zhang Yun already recognized that this was Cai's note, and the content of the letter was very simple, that is, to give Jingzhou away.

Unexpectedly, the Cai family had colluded with Chu Feng early,

Since the Cai family had already planned, this surrender is not a loss.

"Is what the general said true? Will Duke Chu really let the last general go? Zhang Yun asked with some uncertainty.

"Naturally, my lord will not only let you go, but also let you enjoy the same treatment as Huang Zu, but before that, Huang Zu took Jiangling for my lord, and the general should also say something!"

Lu Xun not only knocked down his psychological expectations, but also threw out something new at the last moment,

"What does the general say?" Zhang Yun frowned, if this was difficult, he wouldn't be able to agree.

"Simple, send someone to inform Jingzhou, just say that our army has arrived, and ask for reinforcements to be sent immediately, and when the time comes, take Xiangyang, and the general will make great contributions."

Lu Xun chuckled, with a bit of confidence.

With his incorruptible tongue, he directly made Zhang Yun unable to resist, so strong.

"General, people go to high places and water flows to low places, Liu Biao's life is not long, if the general is demoted, he can enjoy endless glory and wealth,"

"If the general is unwilling, I'm afraid that everyone in this water village and the general, including the general, will die in battle, and future descendants will not think of the general at all."

Lu Xun chuckled, disintegrating Zhang Yun's last fighting spirit.

"I'll fall, I'll fall."

Zhang Yun didn't resist in the end.

Between life and death, he chose life, and lived a beautiful life.

"The general knows the times as a handsome man, and then he will act according to this letter, and when the matter is completed, the general will enjoy endless glory and wealth!"

Lu Xun chuckled, with a bit of pride.

Sure enough, Liu Biao's generals don't say how they command them, they can't be called by the generals alone, even if you want to do something, it won't help.

"Farewell, wait for the general's good news!"

After Lu Xun finished speaking, he left in a flat boat again, as if he had never appeared.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Liu Biao is in danger, this time he has taken refuge in Chu Feng, do you have any other opinions?" Zhang Yun looked at the generals under his command, and said with a gloomy look in his eyes.

Several people looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.

Just kidding, Chu Feng is in full swing now, and if he is against Chu Feng at this moment, isn't that just looking for death? They don't want to do this kind of stupid thing like ruining their families.

The only thing that can be done at this moment is to surrender.

"Okay, don't make a noise about this matter for the time being, immediately send someone to Jingzhou, just say that Chu Feng is here, and ask them to send reinforcements to support immediately, the more serious the better."

Zhang Yun said in a deep voice.

"No!" All the generals nodded in unison.

They probably knew through the little communication just now that not only did they surrender, but I was afraid that the Cai family of the first family in Jingzhou would also want Chu Feng to get closer.

If this is going to get out, no one will dare to believe it!

...

At the same time, Lu Xun returned.

After briefly explaining the matter, Xu Chu hummed and said, "Lord, if you want me to say, why bother delaying so much, let's rush over directly." ”

"My lord, although Zhong Kang said it was a little reckless, it was not unreasonable." Zhao Fan also argued, with excitement in his eyes that he wanted to take the initiative.

"Hehe, go up to the army to plot, then attack the enemy, and attack the city. Since you can better win Jingzhou, why bother adding some unnecessary trouble! ”

Chu Feng explained with a chuckle.

"Don't worry, it's not far from Jingzhou, or in a few days, Jingzhou will deal with it, and it is extremely rare to be able to transfer some Jingzhou soldiers and horses."

Chu Feng chose the safest way.

Although the Cai family said in her previous letter that as long as she was in the city, she would let the Cai family go directly out of the city to surrender, but after all, this is just a sentence, and no one can guarantee it.

Since no one guarantees it, it is necessary to use Zhang Yun to evacuate Xiangyang.

The generals had no choice but to nod, somewhat helpless.

————

In the blink of an eye, a few days later.

Jingzhou, Xiangyang will be in the house.

On this day, a piece of news made Jingzhou, which was already covered with dark clouds, flash and thunder in an instant, and countless people began to ponder how to survive next.

"Report~, Qi Lord, Chu Feng led nearly 100,000 troops, gathered troops outside the Jingling, General Zhang Yun asked his subordinates to report, and asked the lord to send troops and horses to support as soon as possible."

The scout sent shouted urgently.

"What do you say? Chu Feng led his troops to approach? Impossible, how is this possible, Chu Feng has just signed an armistice agreement with us, how can it be difficult at this time? ”

Liu Biao was a little tired and didn't want to believe it.

And the rest of the people in the mansion looked nervous in an instant, especially the major families, who fell into deep thought when they heard that Chu Feng was on the way here.

Obviously, they know that Liu Biao will not live long.

I'm afraid that Jingzhou is going to completely change the sky this time, and it is very likely that Chu Feng will become the master, so they must prepare early.

"My lord, the weak country has no relations, Chu Feng occupies the initiative on the battlefield, and what he promised can be changed at will, and the fate of Jingzhou should not be pressed on others."

Kuai Liang immediately suggested.

"That's right, Chu Feng will definitely take advantage of Liu Bei's rebellion to annex Jingzhou, and the last general thinks that he should immediately send someone to guard Jingling, otherwise Chu Feng's troops will be late in the city."

Wen Ping immediately clenched his fists and said.

"Lord, rush to the aid immediately, as the saying goes, do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, not to mention that my Xiangyang City has thick walls, even if I send 10,000 soldiers and horses, there are still 10,000 left."

"And Nanyang Zhang Xiu obeys the dispatch of the lord, you might as well write to him to lead the troops to the king, as long as you pass this pass, Jingzhou will still be the Jingzhou of the past."

Another scribe earnestly suggested.

For a time, the audience was gossiping, some suggested that Zhang Yun immediately withdraw his troops to Xiangyang and defend the city, and some suggested that Jingling should be held to increase the strategic depth.

In short, there are all kinds of words.

"Whew!" Liu Biao took a deep breath.

He was a little tired, the successive betrayals and defeats during this period of time had made his nerves a little weak, and he had no confidence that he could beat Chu Feng at all!

First, Huang Zu's surrender caused him to lose 30,000 soldiers and horses, and then Liu Bei's betrayal caused him to lose 40,000 soldiers and horses, and now there are only 30,000 people left in Jingzhou.

It's hard to say, these 30,000 people are not enough for Chu Feng to stuff his teeth.

The key is these 30,000 people, and the dispatch depends on the face of the Cai family, he has no way to call the shots at this time, he is a living puppet.

"General Cai, as the commander of Jingzhou's soldiers and horses, you can arrange it, whether you can guard Jingling or Xiangyang." After Liu Biao finished speaking, he got up and left directly.

For a moment, everyone looked over.

At this moment, Liu Biao was bent on his back, with a little loneliness, like a defeated lion, ready to leave the field in disgrace, and then it was time to wait for Chu Feng's arrival.

"The last general understands!" Cai Mao nodded, and immediately looked at everyone: "Everyone, tomorrow I will have people dispatch 5,000 soldiers and horses to gallop south to help Zhang Yun in an instant." ”

"As for Xiangyang, there are 15,000 people guarding it, and Chu Feng can't afford to make big waves, but you still have to fight the same enemy." Cai Mao confessed.

If Liu Bei still obeyed Liu Biao, these people would definitely be energetic when they guarded, but now that Liu Biao's power is declining day by day, there is no way to follow this kind of lord.

Everyone didn't say much, and their eyes were pensive.

Next, it depends on which one moves faster, and everyone hopes to reach a cooperation with Chu Feng as soon as possible.

And the boat division of 5,000 soldiers and horses was also sent, and at the same time, the messenger who asked for help from Zhang Xiu also set off, which would be the last time the trapped beast still fights.

But Liu Biao didn't have any hope at all, he knew the virtues of this group of families, and if he couldn't do it, they would quickly find the next person to attach to.

And Chu Feng IV and the Third Duke, the power under his command is strong, much stronger than himself.

Liu Biao only hopes that his two sons can live safely, which may be a luxury, and he can only start to transfer some of his family wealth and arrange for them to leave.

All of this naturally can't escape the eyes of other families in the city.

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed, and a piece of news completely made the Jingzhou authorities desperate, and Zhang Yun defected, along with 15,000 people under his command.

At this moment, Chu Feng had already led his army to approach Jingzhou.

Hearing the news, Liu Biao held on to his calmness, and Jingzhou still had the last glimmer of hope, that is, the Cai family and Zhang Xiu could help him defend the city.

But even if he held on, he would be destroyed the same next year.

As a result, countless people began to rely on the relationship to catch Chu Feng's line, although Xiangyang has a strong city, but the people's hearts are scattered!
