Nanyue, Wei Wenchang's front sentinel had already found the Jiangdong Army's sentinel on the bank of the river in Xiangnan City, more than ten miles away, and more than 100 elite cavalry could only stop.
"General, how should we act" The hundred people did not understand why Wei Yan ordered to stop the march, the land of Changsha, the plains, hills, and rivers crisscrossed and crossed, but the height of the hills, except for the nearby Nanyue, was no more than a hundred zhang, and the depth of the river was only a few zhang, and on the plain, it was the place where their cavalry galloped, why not take advantage of the situation to march north "If what I expected is true, Lu Meng has led his army to occupy all the county towns in the north, and set up checkpoints in the steep places between the mountains and the places where the rivers cross, and it is useless for us to go north at this moment."
Wei Yan stroked his beard with one hand, he was only in his early twenties, and he was at the age of ignorance when he was fighting on the battlefield.
It's just that he is all cavalry with his team, and the dry food he carries is only a few days, and if he falls into the encirclement of the brigade of foot soldiers, it will be really troublesome.
Youxian, he doesn't want to go back, after all, Liu Pan is this person, he doesn't want to take refuge.
On the other hand, in the Huanjie Division, the two Xiong brothers and Guiyang Taishou Li Shujian were played to death by him sooner or later.
It's just that if he turns north and surrenders in front of Lu Meng's tent, it is not his Wei Wenchang's style.
He held a knife in one hand and pointed to the southwest, "Let's go to Lingling, there are soldiers from thirteen counties, and I can gather soldiers from Lingling in the name of Changsha County's guard." ” The cavalry behind him were confused, but they could only listen to it.
One day, the cavalry marched to Chong'an.
"Listen to the guards in the city, I am Wei Yan, the general of Changsha County, and quickly open the city gate."
After checking Wei Yan's customs clearance documents, the city gate slowly opened, and Wei Yan directly took over the defeat of more than 200 remnants of the city and led the army straight south to the Quanling Tomb, the Lingling Governance Office.
On the other side, Zhang Xian was disgraced with the 8,000 elite soldiers summoned by Wuling Taishou Du Bozhi, stationed in Hanshou, and confronted the 5,000 elite soldiers under the command of Peng Hu, a partial general under Lu Meng.
In Nanjun, Cai Mao, who was looking across the river, learned that the defenders on the other side of the river had transferred most of them at night, and his face was happy, and he immediately ordered the sailors to cross the river and land on the shore, preparing to storm Wuling in one fell swoop.
But he didn't want to, Liu Biao's edict was sent directly to him.
"Ordered the general to stay still, the Jiangdong Army has sent Lu Meng's department as the vanguard, invaded Changsha County, conquered the eight northern counties in one fell swoop, Wuhou Liu Qi, passed the book into the land of Xiangyang, and was willing to discuss Zhang Xian with our army with the friendship of the clan."
"Confused, the lord listened to Liu Qi'er's rhetoric, but he didn't know that the four counties of Jingnan were rich and rich, and Liu Qi of Jiangdong had coveted them for a long time.
Cai Mao's face was full of grief, although his Cai family accepted Liu Biao into Jingxiang, but also took advantage of Liu Biao's water to rise to the top, and now he faintly has the prestige of the first wealthy family in Jingxiang.
His second sister is Liu Biao's step-room, Liu Biao, in his eyes, has the name of Eight Horses, but has no heart to fight for the world.
However, Jingzhou is rich and fruitful, looking at the world, only Jizhou can be compared, but if there are no four counties in Jingnan, can he Liu Jingsheng still be the assassin of Jingzhou "Order Zhang Hu to cross the river from the pontoon bridge immediately, my sailor will only respond to it, within three days, if we can't take Linyuan, I'm afraid that Lai Gong and Wu Ju's department can only become an outcast."
Cai Mao's heart is horizontal, he is the general of Zhennan, and he is also the Taishou of Nanjun, he has the right to cut first and then play, this time the fighter is fleeting, he can only take Wuling first, and then report to Liu Biao.
However, in half a day, Zhang Yun, the new commander of Lingling, and Zhang Hu, the commander of the capital, hurried with 8,000 horse infantry troops.
The pontoon bridge was built at dusk, and without waiting for Cai Mao's order, Zhang Hu's troops and horses took 500 soldiers as the vanguard and took the lead in crossing the river along the pontoon bridge.
At this moment, a sentry stood on a ten-zhang high guard tower on the shore and exclaimed: "Enemy attack, enemy attack." ” He immediately sounded a warning, and for a while, all the soldiers on the shore looked in the direction of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
At the end of the downstream of the river, a large number of black spots suddenly appeared, at first a long series, as it continued to enlarge in front of the eyes, the sails that were unfurled by the wind on one side, with the high bow of the dragon's head, rode the wind and waves, and sailed straight upstream.
"Report to Lord Taishou, that is the Peng Ze Water Division of the Jiangdong Army, and the general general of the unified army is Zhou Tai, the right governor of the Jiangdong Army Water Division."
Cai Mao's face changed greatly, and he waved his hand violently, "Prepare to meet the enemy, quickly, order the sergeant on the pontoon bridge to retreat immediately." ” "Whoa."
Zhang Hu immediately ordered someone to step forward, but the river surface of this Nanjun was already more than a hundred zhang wide, and the sergeants who had already reached the middle of the river could not withdraw so quickly.
What's more, the wind direction at this moment is the southeast wind, and the following grams are upstream, and the downstream is downwind.
"Dong Dong Dong" With the sound of a dense war drum, Cai Mao's arms and muscles burst out, "Order Cai Zhong and Cai He to immediately assemble the water division, I want to fight with this water." ” "It's not okay to be too guarded."
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Yun stepped forward and raised his hand to dissuade him.
"Why not" Cai Mao's face turned red with anger, and he stretched out his hand to point to Zhou Tai in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River: "This black guy has brought the water master to the gate of the water village in Wunan County, so unscrupulous, if I Jingxiang water master, let it come and go, in the future, my Jingxiang master will never think of crossing the river for half a step." ” "Lord Taishou, we sent troops to attack Wuling, it is already against the order of the state pastor, if we take the initiative to tear up the alliance again this time and attack the Jiangdong Naval Division, if we win, if we lose, if we lose" Zhang Yun was a little hesitant, and his words changed, "Jiangxia Huangzu's department, there are also sailors, although there are hundreds of warships, but they have never led the army to resist" Cai Mao took a deep breath and tried to calm down her ugly face.
He understood that Zhang Yun's intention was to use Huang Zu's crime of slacking off on the war to offset the crime of the two of them in this unfavorable battle.
It's just that he watched the Jiangdong Navy Division approaching closer and closer downstream, swaggering to the front of the pontoon bridge, forcing his own sergeant to retreat in embarrassment, and he was unwilling.
"Lü Meng's raid on Changsha was successful, because Zhang Xian ordered Huanjie to lead his troops to attack Liu Pan's camp, and the garrison was empty, and the Zhou Tai Naval Division, who was far away in Pengze, could get here within two days, it must have been premeditated, and my uncle should not act rashly to give the Jiangdong Army a reason to raise swords."
Cai Mao's face was full of gloom, Jingxiang's soldiers, after Liu Biao settled in Jingxiang, after seven years, there was now a grand situation, Zhang Xian's rebellion was a good opportunity for Jingxiang to raise righteousness and unify the four counties of Jingnan, but Liu Biao was still so hesitant His heart was cold, Cao Cao guarded Wancheng with Zhou Yu, but he had no intention of going south to Jingxiang, at this moment, the land of Jingxiang was only Jiangdong Liu Qi, why, Jingsheng just couldn't see through it.
"Command the sentinel ship, come forward and interrogate Zhou Tai, why did he enter the army."
Cai Mao's heart was complicated, but she had to take the initiative to send someone forward to interrogate
