Chapter 213: The Battle of the Yangtze River Begins

Le Jin rushed back to Kunyang, and when he saw Xun You's face, he shouted: "Military advisor, why did you order Gao Shun to take more than 3,000 people to the north of Yingchuan County, has the military advisor forgotten what General Gao's original background was?" Then Le Jin complained again: "The lord is too, Wancheng Zhang Xiu surrendered, why didn't the lord immediately order Zhang Xiu to be the main force and go to Yingchuan to prevent it." ”

Xun You was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and finally knew what Le Jin was worried about. It's nothing more than Gao Shun was born in the state, and he used to be Lu Bu's subordinate, and Lejin is also thinking about Liu Chong.

"General Le, do you know that before Liao Hua rebelled against the Three Kingdoms of Liang Peilu, why didn't the lord move a single soldier, but concentrated on conquering Chen Ji? Do you know that, as you said now, why when the lord knew that Lu Bu might appear, after hearing that General Gao Shun had gone north, he never asked about it again, or even mentioned it, do you know why? ”

Le Jin looked at Xun You with a puzzled expression, and Xun You smiled: "Trust." General Le, if you want to say who the lord trusts the most in this Chen country, the first place is naturally Luo Jun, the minister of state, and down, General Gao Shun must be on the list. The lord's trust in the commander of the three battalions is far from being understandable, and it turns out that General Gao Shun, General Chen Zhi, and even Commander Liu Dang have never disappointed the lord at critical times, not even once and a half. The Lord's ability to know people is amazing. ”

Le Jin didn't speak for a long time, he was confident and loyal, but if he talked about ability, he was afraid that he couldn't compare to Gao Shun and others, and even Le Jin was below Li Dian. Hearing Liu Pet say this, Le Jin was also relieved. Then he looked at Xun You, and suddenly smiled kindly: "Strategist, I heard that the lord has now recruited a new military division called Pang Tong, haha, and gave him the title of Feng Xiao, Strategist, you are not afraid ----"

Xun Yu glanced at him: "The lord is determined to support the Han family, could it be that he will rely on us in the future?" General Le, in the future, there will definitely be more and more capable people and wise men joining the lord's camp, and we can only encourage more and more people to not fall behind. ”

Le Jin pondered on the side, but Xun You glanced at the south in his heart, and secretly thought in his heart: "Lord, Pang Tong has a high position since he came along, you have taken a fancy to Jingzhou, right?" Thinking about it, he smiled, looked up at the north, and said: "Wen Ruo, we will meet soon, I don't know if when the time comes, it will be your vision or mine." At the thought of having to fight against Xun Yu, who is known as Xun's double master, Xun Yu couldn't help but get excited.

It took Liu Pet less than a month before and after to successfully take Nanyang. For this reason, Liu Pet naturally wants to reward a lot, from top to bottom, from inside to outside, from combat to logistics, all of them are rewarded, especially the battle of Wancheng ended with such a happy situation. Liu Pet is even more grateful to Pang Tong and Zhang Xiu, Liu Pet did not look down on Zhang Xiu, the general, you know, Cao Cao in history, half of the fierce generals under his command are generals, as long as they are used well, I will use them in the world.

Liu Pet, who laughed hahahaha, found that Chen Zhi was looking at the person behind Zhang Xiu with gritted teeth, Liu Pet was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Chen Zhi's deputy general was cut by Lei Xu.

Liu Chong's eyes narrowed, and he was extremely serious: "Chen Dao." ”

Chen Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then immediately: "The end will be." ”

"Remove the armor and abandon the sword."

Chen Zhi was stunned, and Liu Pet shouted: "Don't understand? The armor taken off, and the weapons. ”

Zhang Xiu, Zhang Ji and others were inexplicable, Li Dian and others also suddenly chuckled in their hearts, I don't know what kind of wind their lord is smoking again, but Liu Chong's face is serious, and no one dares to stand up and say anything now.

Zhang Xiu surrendered, but Liu Chong obviously felt that the people here now were clearly like two camps, wary of each other, at least there was no communication.

Chen stripped himself naked, leaving only the cloth clothes. Then I saw Liu Chong striding two steps and walking in front of Zhang Xiu, but he didn't speak to Zhang Xiu: "Lei Xu." ”

Lei Xu was stunned, glanced at Zhang Xiu, and saw that Zhang Xiu kept glancing at him, and asked Lei Xu to respond. Lei Xu looked at Zhang Xiu's appearance, so he had to come out: "King Chen." ”

Liu Chong: "General Lei Xu, I know you don't want to recognize me as the master. ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhang Xiu was first shocked, and hurriedly: "Lord, this ---" Liu Chongyi raised his hand and said to Zhang Xiu: "General Zhang, General Lei Xu is loyal to you, and would rather only be a little Sima, and he is only willing to obey orders under you, this is your blessing, such a loyal subordinate, how fortunate General Zhang is." I, Liu Pet, especially the kind of jealous and jealous person with a small belly and chicken intestines, General Lei Xu is loyal to you, and it is too late for me to envy, how can I embarrass the two generals, let alone crowd out the two generals. ”

When Zhang Xiu heard this, he was greatly moved, and at the same time secretly said in his heart that the lord is broad-minded.

Then I saw Liu Chong to Lei Xu: "Lei Xu, although you are mainly General Zhang, but you are also under the command of our army, are you willing to listen to my words?" ”

Dian Wei's eyes were confused for a moment, then he took a step to the left and stood closer to Liu Chong.

When Lei Xu heard this, he hurriedly knelt down: "The last general is willing to listen to King Chen's order." ”

Liu Pet saw it and hurriedly helped him up. Everyone was puzzled, what does this Chen Zhi have to do with taking off his armor?

At this time, I saw Liu Chong grabbing Lei Xu with one hand and Chen Zhi with the other, and said: "Chen Dao, Lei Xu, the two generals are both fierce generals in the world." Until then, both of you were your own lords, faithful, and admirable. In the past, General Lei Xu's troops surrounded Ye County, and I led Chen to go out of the city to raid, and General Lei Xu was really not afraid of danger, and he was like a general. But in the chaos, General Lei Xu beheaded Chen Zhi's long-time servant, the current adjutant. ”

Zhang Xiu was shocked, and Lei Xu was also shocked, this is to settle accounts after the autumn??

But he heard Liu Pet: "Each is his master, and the general will definitely return the horse leather shroud." General Lei Xu is not wrong, and Vice Adjutant Chen Zhizhi is also worthy of respect, although he is still honorable in death. Today, General Lei Xu is already a general of my Chen State, and I know that Chen still has hatred for you. In this way, General Lei Xu, you also remove your armor and sword, and you two will fight with your bare hands. No matter what happens in this battle, in the future, the two of you must not have a gap between your hearts, General Lei Xu, you dare to face the battle. ”

When Lei Xu heard this, Made, the general's face made him yell: "Come on." ”

At this time, Chen also felt that it was impossible to avenge the deputy general, but if he could beat him, it would not be a cool thing.

"Okay, the last general will obey the order."

"This." Only Zhang Xiu was embarrassed, and Zhang Ji next to him hurriedly grabbed Zhang Xiu, shook his head, and signaled Zhang Xiu not to make a sound. After all, Zhang Ji is an old man, and knowing that Liu Pet is doing this, he is more upright than doing it behind his back. Or, such a lord is the destination of my Zhang family. Suddenly, Zhang Ji remembered Jia Xu's old fox again, it seems that this old fox is still more accurate than us, and the person who can make him willing to take refuge is naturally not an idle person.

"Huh, take my punch."

"Sweep you down."

In the Wancheng school field, two bursts of cheers, you come and go, which immediately attracted many soldiers in the army to watch from afar.

Zhang Xiu became a lieutenant general, and his status was only below a few generals, while Zhang Ji became a lieutenant of Peiguo and a magistrate. Nanyang's 20,000 main forces, all of which were retained, and then the military generals were officers, and Li Dian led Nanyang Taishou to concurrently serve as military officers. Nanyang is different from other places, although it is only a county, but in terms of geographical location, population and other aspects, Nanyang is even comparable to a state.

Liu Pet's movement in Nanyang frightened many people, especially Liu Biao, who was hesitant before, was even more nervous, deeply afraid that Liu Pet would take advantage of the victory to go south across the river, and hurriedly took Wu Ju as the Jiangxia Taishou, and then mobilized a lot of soldiers and horses from other places to Xiangyang, moving randomly, but did not dare to put too many soldiers and horses in Fancheng, so as not to stimulate Liu Pet.

Liu Biao's soldiers and horses moved, and he didn't cause trouble in Nanyang, but he attracted the attention of one person, Sun Jian, who had just defeated Liu Jian in Yuhu.

Liu Jian was defeated, on the premise of not killing Liu Xuan, Tai Shici surrendered, Sun Jian took control of Danyang County, and at the same time the troops entered Poyang Lake, both of which had no decent ability to resist, so Sun Jian's army triumphed all the way.

Just when Sun Jian wanted to stop, he went further and it was Jingzhou, at this time, Sun Jian hesitated. Is it to take advantage of the victory to continue to expand the territory, or to turn back to consolidate the development of grace, or to cross the river to conquer Huainan and compete for hegemony in the Central Plains?

Huang Gai and other veterans want to cross the river to fight Yuan Shu, this is an old enemy. For example, Zhang Zhao and others have asked for a truce to recuperate, Jiangdong can no longer fight, and the internal instability of Huiji and other counties, Shanyue rebelled all day long, and first stabilized the place.

However, only a group of young generals such as Zhou Yu, Sun Ce's good friend, believed that they must take Jingzhou as soon as possible and completely control the waters of the Yangtze River, so that they could enter Yizhou in the west and swallow half of the Han Dynasty, and in the north they could enter the Central Plains from Hanshui and Huainan in the north, and at the same time take the Yangtze River waterway as a natural danger, and they were already in an invincible position.

All parties were fighting for joy, and Sun Jian's head was big for a while, if he had given an order before, who would dare not obey. But now, the family has a big business, and Sun Jian understands that this governance is a hundred times more difficult than fighting.

And at this time, the scouts came to report that the battle in Nanyang had stopped, Zhang Xiu had surrendered King Chen, and King Chen's 30,000 army was pressed in Wancheng but did not move, so that Liu Biao was like a sword hanging on the top, and had begun to draw troops from all over the country, especially Jiangxia County to Xiangyang.

Opportunity, great opportunity, Zhou Yu and other people who advocated westward expansion were suddenly excited. And Zhang Zhao and others could persuade each other, but in the end, Sun Jian still couldn't stand the temptation of Jingzhou.

Fight, hit Jingzhou.

It's not that easy. Liu Jian had just been defeated, Sun Jian had insufficient time to digest, and going to the other side of the river was more and more different from the previous Yuan Shu. Who would have thought that Yuan Shu would dare to go to Lujiang alone at that time, saying that Lu Taishou had descended, and now Lujiang is stuck there, which is equivalent to being stuck in the Yangtze River waterway, and if Jiangdong goes from the waterway, it will be 100% under pressure from the Lujiang River, and it is even possible to cut off grain and grass.

Then, it will be difficult to fight Jingzhou and go by land. In the end, Sun Jian gritted his teeth, I went in person, led a small number of elite soldiers, as long as I took Jiangxia, and then turned back to attack the Lujiang River to ensure the waterway of the Yangtze River, as long as this line was opened, Jingzhou Liu Biao, Sun Jian would not take it seriously.

So, Sun Jian personally went to Jiangxia to make dangerous moves, and the Yangtze River area was covered with dark clouds.
