"What do you say, Your Highness? If it weren't for His Highness's discernment, how could the two of them have achieved what they are today? ”

"You guys don't flatter each other here, when will Brother Jingsheng arrive?" Huang Chengyan asked.

"Originally, Brother Jingsheng wanted to come today, but suddenly there was something to deal with, and it was difficult to get out for a while!" Pound, who was in charge of liaison, explained openly.

"There won't be any changes in it, right?" Before He Si'an could speak, Huang Chengyan couldn't help but ask.

Hearing this, Sima Hui also shook his head with a solemn expression.

While a few people were chatting, there was a sudden knock on the door, and Sima Hui came closer.

Among the crowd, a person dressed as a family member whispered a few words beside Sima Hui, and then saw that Sima Hui's expression became more and more solemn, sometimes frowning, sometimes nodding.

After returning to everyone, Sima Hui said bluntly: "If something happens suddenly, please call Yuan Zhi to discuss it first!" ”

A quarter of an hour later, Xu Shu, Zhang Yan, and Liao Hua gathered in the hall, and Sima Hui slowly spoke: "Three news, please consider it yourself!"

First, Liu Xun, the general under Yuan Shu, coerced a large amount of property to recruit troops and horses in the Runan area, occupy the mountain as the king, and plundered the surrounding people, Cao Cao's repeated expeditions were fruitless, this time Liu Biao suddenly received a decree from the imperial court, ordering him to send troops within two days, and cooperate with Cao Cao to jointly exterminate, only then Brother Jingsheng sent someone to send news, it is precisely because of this matter that there was a delay, but this will not affect the agreement with His Royal Highness!

Second, Brother Jingsheng's chief bookkeeper Kuai Liang brought Cao Cao's envoy Dong Zhao to visit.

Third, the eldest prince Liu Qi and Liu Bei's subordinate Mi Zhu came to visit.

At present, those two groups are waiting in the courtyard. As the so-called visitor is a guest, Hui also needs to go to receive it in person! ”

"Mr. Shuijing, please take care of yourself, do you need Si'an to avoid it?"

"Then don't need it, Your Highness will take a break again, and the old man will come when he goes!"

Looking at Sima Hui's back, He Si'an looked at Xu Shu and asked, "What does Yuan Zhi think about this?" ”

Xu Shu's expression was solemn, and after thinking slightly, he slowly spoke: "As the saying goes, there must be a demon when things go wrong, Dong Zhaoming is the Situ of the court, and he is of the same grade as Cao Cao, but in fact he is Cao Cao's confidant, this person came at the same time as Kuai Liang, and it is likely that he is putting pressure on Liu Jingzhou, as for the eldest prince Liu Qi, the purpose should be the same."

And the so-called extermination of the old Yuan Shu department is obviously just an excuse... Combined with these three things happening at the same time, Shu believes that the possibility of His Highness's whereabouts being exposed cannot be ruled out..."

"But at this time, the arrow is on the line, and it has to be sent, and besides, it has come to this, no matter which side it is, there is no way back, is it?" He Si'an shook his head and said.

Everyone was silent for a while, and even Huang Chengyan didn't refute it, after all, after such a long time of preparation, if he left without seeing him, once it was rumored, it would be a major blow to He Si'an's line!

"In this case, Shu thinks that the lord still needs to make arrangements as soon as possible, so it is better for us to plan and order someone to communicate with Liu Jingzhou first, and directly arrange for Zilong's 50,000 elite soldiers to come and be stationed in Xinye in the name of cooperating with the bandits! One is to block Cao Cao's southward movement, and the other is to deter Jiangxia!

The two generals of Zang Ba and Yu Poison immediately led the men and horses of the headquarters to protect the lord!

Ordered Gao Pei to lead 20,000 people into Yong'an to respond!

Fate..."

After a series of arrangements, Sima Hui also rushed back.

"Brother Decao, what's the situation?"

Without waiting for everyone to speak, Huang Chengyan couldn't help but ask.

Kuai Liang and Dong Zhao left after a brief conversation and left, but Liu Qi did not choose to leave immediately, but planned to stay here for a few more days. Your Highness still needs to prepare early. ”

"Indeed, Dong Zhao came from afar and left in such a hurry, which proves that something big may happen here, and Liu Qi is likely to be kept in the dark... Yuanzhi, when will your previous arrangement be in place? Pang Degong asked.

At this moment, everyone present can be said to be in the same camp as He Si'an, and so are Huang Chengyan, Sima Hui, and Pang Degong! After all, one of the most important sons and nephews of the three of them is in an important position in Yizhou, and more than one of his beloved disciples are all serving under He Si'an's account, and the other is He Si'an's father-in-law! As for Xu Shu and others, there is no need to mention it!

"Fang Cai has ordered someone to go and deliver the message, the 20,000 soldiers and horses brought by the two generals Yu Poison and Zang Ba should be able to arrive tomorrow night, as for Zhao Yun's side, they should be able to arrive in Xinye around noon the day after tomorrow!" Liao Hua replied.

"Hmm... Brother Jingsheng should be able to come the day after tomorrow, I hope nothing goes wrong! But to be on the safe side, it's better to be Your Highness..."

…

That night, on the bank of the Yangtze River on the southeast side, Dong Zhao hurried to the agreed place with Sun Jian, but at this moment, the riverside that should be empty appeared in a continuous camp tent, countless torches flickered, and the scale was 50,000 or 60,000 people!

Under the guidance of the soldiers, Dong Zhao came to the big tent of the Chinese army.

"Does Mr. Dong have the whereabouts of King Hongnong?"

"Hmm... It's almost certain that it's within Shuijingzhuang..."

Hearing this, Sun Jian couldn't help frowning, at this moment, it is Mr. Shuijing's 60th birthday, and the focus of the world is here, if he leads the troops forward, not to mention whether he can catch King Hongnong, this move alone will offend the world's scholars... In this way, even if you get Jingzhou in the future, how can you gain a foothold?

As if seeing what Sun Jian was thinking, Dong Zhao said quietly: "General Sun, can you still regret it at this time?" There is no impermeable wall in the world, since General Sun dispatched overnight, the major forces will soon get the news, especially Guiyang Zhang Ren, who will definitely make a desperate move to Changsha, and at this moment the general is too late to return, what are you hesitating about? ”

Sun Jian paced back and forth, repeated it several times, and finally stomped his foot hard!

“… That's it! Commanders, assemble! ”

A moment later, all of Sun Jian's generals arrived.

"Han Dang and Jiang Qin listen to the order, you two each take 10,000 soldiers and horses to Shuijingzhuang, and be sure not to let anyone escape from Shuijingzhuang!

Zu Mao, you led 20,000 people to ambush in the dense forest between Shuijingzhuang and Xiangyang, if Xiangyang sends troops to rescue, you must defend to the end!

Huang Gai, you lead 10,000 people to the north of Shuijingzhuang, if King Hongnong sends troops, be sure to notify me as soon as possible!

The rest of you, follow me to Shuijingzhuang! King Hongnong must be captured alive!

Let's go, everyone, and be sure to be in place by tomorrow morning! ”

"Order!"

The generals agreed in unison, and then dispersed!

Looking at the rolling river, Sun Jian closed his eyes and took a deep breath, this operation is desperate, it can be said that if it is not successful, it will become a benevolent, it is impossible to gain a foothold in Jingzhou, and even his own people are likely to be all explained here.

"Bo Fu... May the Father be able to do it... If your father really fails, you must stay calm... Don't be impulsive..."

Sun Jian muttered to himself, and finally sighed, ordered the guards behind him to take out a pen and paper, write it, fold it and send it to Yangzhou...
