At dawn, the mist on the river surface obscured both sides of the Yangtze River. The towering Xisai Mountain stands on the edge of the Yangtze River, overlooking the mountains.

Today's Cisse Mountain is covered with dense fog, and the sunlight is difficult to penetrate. On the top of the mountain, the flags of the Jiangxia military camp were fluttering, and the soldiers patrolling and guarding did not know where they went.

Dong Da lay on the blanket, woke up by urine, looked at the brothers who were still sleeping, and by the faint light, opened the curtain and walked out.

The cliffs of Xisai Mountain are steep and rapid, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and relying on the undulating Huangjing Mountain, it has become a strategic place to hold the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. Previously, Sun Ce defeated Huang Zu, and he defeated it this time, and then attacked Xiakou and won a big victory.

A few years ago, Sun Ce died of illness, and Huang Zu recaptured Xisai Mountain on the Yangtze River, where he rebuilt a camp as an outpost, and Dong Da, as a county soldier, was sent to garrison everywhere.

"Why is it so quiet today, have all the patrol people gone back to the camp to sleep?" Dong Da yawned and muttered.

But he didn't care, Jiangdong hadn't attacked for several years, and they didn't have a mess around, and when the time came to change defenses, they would go back.

As for the military order from Jiangxia, it had long been forgotten by them. Just kidding, that group of Jiangxia nobles were feasting and drinking on the cruise, but they let them suffer on the sidelines, how can there be such a reason, just deal with it.

Dong's big head was empty, and he walked a dozen steps to the north of the barracks, unbuttoned his belt, and urinated. The steep cliff in the north of Xisai Mountain is like a knife cutting, and it is more than 1,000 meters long from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain.

Such a natural toilet is naturally the first choice for these lazy people.

The morning breeze blows, and the balls are cold.

At the same time, the fog on the river surface was blown away a little, and in the sound of the river crashing on the shore, more than a dozen warships flying the 'Sun' flag came to the wind, and the bottom of the boat cut through the river, bringing up bursts of waves and splashes under the blessing of the southeast wind.

Immediately afterwards, as the morning wind became stronger and stronger, the fog was gradually blown away, and Dong Da's eyes gradually widened. Under his gaze, thousands of warships stretched for dozens of miles, and the warships stood in a forest, and the flags covered the sun, like a giant dragon lying on the Yangtze River.

"Koto!" Dong Da looked frightened, and even forgot to mention his pants and said.

When Dong Da was about to shout loudly, he heard a sudden terrible wail in the camp, and he turned his head to see that the 'Ling' banner had already attacked their camp.

Hundreds of Wu soldiers appeared out of nowhere, brandishing the sharp blades in their hands and killing those who were still asleep.

And when his mind suddenly cleared up, he also found those patrolling soldiers, who were not asleep, but were killed by people with their throats, and they covered them with grass and trees.

The frightened Dong Da lifted his pants, and before Wu Jun found him, he went down the mountain along the path of the North Cliff. Along the way, he stumbled down the mountain road, slipped several times along the way, and would have almost fallen to his death if he hadn't caught a thorn in his eyes.

Finally, on the bank of the Yangtze River at the foot of the mountain, I found my own boat. Just as he was about to get on the boat, a sharp arrow broke through the air and hit him in the back, Dong Da screamed in pain, and fell on the river, red blood stained the river, and the corpse rose and fell with the river waves.

When I looked for the arrow, I saw the person who shot the arrow, holding a hard bow, standing on the hillside, his eyes like a torch.

This person is none other than Jiangdong's thief captain Ling Cao!

Half an hour later, the Xisai Mountain camp was hung with the banner of the word 'Sun', which had been occupied by Ling Cao.

And on the ship in the distance, Xu Kun calmly said to Sun Quan: "Fujun, in the past, I followed Sun to rebel against Huang Zu, and it was in Xisai Mountain. At that time, Huang Zu was brave and brave, and he was defeated by our army, capturing more than 6,000 warships, capturing 10,000 people, and greatly hurting his vitality. Although several years have passed now, it is expected that Huang Zu has not yet recovered his vitality, and it is not difficult to break it. ”

Saying that, Xu Kun sneered and said: "And that Huang Zu and Huang Shot father and son guard the border, but they like to be literary and slack, and their combat readiness is relaxed. It can be broken in the heyday of the past, let alone today! ”

Sun Quan held the long sword, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Xu Pingyu has a strategy, and he is convinced of it. Today, the sergeant warship is under the command of the general, to see if it can take Jiangxia in a battle. ”

As soon as Sun Quan's words fell, he heard the soldier's announcement and said: "Captain Ling has captured the camp of Xisai Mountain, and now the flag of our army has been hung. ”

"Good!"

Hearing this, Sun Quan was overjoyed, and he won the battle, which was too simple.

"Captain Ling followed Sun to fight against the rebellion, often the first to ascend, and his bravery was abnormal. Now it is a pioneer, like the tip of a sword piercing Huang Zu's henchman. The government will govern the army in the future, and Captain Ling can be reused. Xu Kun admonished.

"Hmm!"

Listening to Xu Kun's advice, Sun Quan held the hilt of the sword and answered in a low voice.

The relationship between Xu Kun and Sun Quan is also difficult to say, they seem to be cousins, but after Sun Quan ascended the throne, in order to get Xu Kun's support and consolidate Jiangdong, he married Xu Kun's widowed daughter Xu.

Since then, the two of them have been both sons-in-law and cousins. In order to help Sun Quan ascend to the throne, Xu Kun also did his best to improve his prestige, often letting Sun Quan fight under his name, and he made suggestions behind his back.

And Sun Quan is also interested, although he already has a wife, Mrs. Xie, but in order to marry the Xu family and support the Xu family, he made Mrs. Xie a concubine. Mrs. Xie refused, so she was 'beaten' to die early, but I don't know if it was Sun Quan's hand.

It was also very painful to marry Sun Quan of the Xu family, not to mention that his wife was a widow, and he was very jealous, and he was not allowed to take a concubine. However, in order to win the support of his cousin, he had to endure it.

Under some operation, the two sides have further room for trust, which is why Xu Kun strongly supports Sun Quan, and Sun Quan also believes in Xu Kun.

Sun Quan couldn't do this, Xu Kun was not only Sun Ce's right-hand man in raising troops, in fact, he had served the Sun family for the time dating back to Sun Jian's time.

At that time, Xu Kun resigned from his position as an official, joined Sun Jian's army and became a subordinate, and followed Sun Jian to fight in the south and the north. Therefore, Xu Kun is not only a shareholder in the Sun Ce period, but also a shareholder in the Sun Jian period, and now he is Sun Quan's father-in-law.

Even if Sun Quan doesn't want to, what can he do, when he first ascends to the throne, he must use the power of his father-in-law to deter all the old ministers of the Sun family, and with the support of the old ministers, he can consolidate his position.

However, now that he has been in power for two years, the power of integration has almost been integrated, and the old ministers of the Sun family have recognized him as the lord. Therefore, Xu Kun let Sun Quan ...... like this

……

The news of Sun's invasion spread to the Jiangxia camp.

Gan Ning, who was helping Huo Jun train the navy, heard the news and handed over the work to his subordinates. With his bare feet, he hurried to find Huo Jun.

"Zhong Miao!"

"Zhong Miao!"

Gan Ning wore wet straw sandals, and his trousers were also rolled up to his knees, revealing his thick leg hair. Striding around the camp, he shouted loudly when he was still a few steps away from Huo Jun's tent.

Hearing this, Huo Jun came out of the camp tent with a bamboo slip in his hand, and asked suspiciously, "Xingba, why are you in such a hurry?" ”

Gan Ning gasped slightly and said, "If it is as Zhong Miao said, it is not bad. Sun Quan led a large army to attack, and with Ling Cao as the vanguard, he took the lead in taking the camp of Xisai Mountain. Its sailors went upstream, and according to Xiakou, it was only a day or two voyages. ”

Huo Jun held the bamboo slip and clapped his palms, quite excited.

He has been in Jiangxia for two or three months, and Xiangyang has also written in the past few days, saying that Cai Mao is making more excuses to delay the time to send troops. Therefore, the situation on the Jiangxia battlefield will inevitably affect the Xiangyang side, if achievements are made, with the strong support of Liu Biao, it is imperative to send troops, if it is defeated, it may give Cai Mao room to operate.

Huo Jun was worried that Jiangxia would not be able to do anything here, but judging from the situation in Xiangyang, he had to find a way to make some achievements.

After pacing for a moment or two, Huo Jun said to Gan Ning in a deep voice: "Xingba, you and I will come when we make contributions!" ”

"I think so too!"

Just as Gan Ning's words fell, the entourage beside Huang Jian also arrived at the camp and said: "There is an order to keep the order, and order Huo Senjun and Captain Gan to go to the government to discuss the soldiers." ”

"Let's go!"

The two glanced at each other and immediately went to the mansion.

Although Gan Ning is not highly used in Huang Zu, Gan Ning has 800 soldiers in his hands and is a captain, and he can be regarded as a force in Jiangxia's army of more than 10,000 people, so he and Huo Jun are both qualified to attend the meeting.
