Chapter 109 is war or surrender

The appearance of Huang Yueying made He Chen solve a big problem. Although he could not see the effect in a short time, because even if all the arsenals were full of horsepower, it was impossible to produce so many wooden cattle and horses at once, but from a long-term perspective, it still has a very important strategic significance, especially It can't be underestimated for the use of soldiers from Nanman and Jiaozhou, or from the Western Regions Changshifu. It can not only greatly save manpower feed, but also make it more convenient and fast.

Subsequently, He Chen sent people to send wooden cattle and horses to Chang'an with drawings and crafts, and Huang Yueying readily agreed to go with him. This also makes someone snicker in his heart. After finishing the matter in the south of the Yangtze River, he will slowly fool you, a foreign girl.

In order to cover Zhao Yun's 100,000 troops and achieve a surprising effect, He Chen ordered Huang Zhong to lead the front brigade out of Xiangyang, and then his Chinese army followed up. 400,000 horses and banners spread all over the ground. The soldiers were all over the mountains and connected back and forth for dozens of miles. The auxiliary car was like a long dragon, winding from Maicheng to Xiangyang. It is often indecisive. Zhao Yun, while quietly, quickly marched westward in the direction of Dangyang.

Southern County.

Before the division of Xiangyang City in the Han Dynasty, Jiangling was the seat of Jingzhou. Even if Liu Biao controls the eight counties of Jingzhou, he still puts the office here. It can be seen how important the location of Jiangling is. Jiangling looks at Wuchang in the east and Wuxia in the west. In the southwest of the Jianghan Plain, on the north bank of the Jingjiang River, it is a famous water city. There are Xiangshui in the north and the Yangtze River in the south. In the middle, there are many tributaries such as the Youjiang River and Hanshui around the city. The water network is dense, almost forming a natural defense wall.

If you want to take Jiangling, there is no other way but water war. It was Liu Bian who caught this that he dared to gather 100,000 soldiers to resist the Northern Army.

And Hulugukou is the key road from Yiling in the west and Jiangling in the south. It is the only way to go to Maicheng in the north. It is also the last outer defense line of Jiangling to resist the northern army. Once Hulugukou is lost, the only thing Liu Biao can do is to return to Jiangling City.

At the entrance of this important town, Liu Biao's high-looking general, Lv Gong, led 30,000 horses and leaned against the mountain and water to make a formation, intending to take advantage of He Chen's vanguard troops to attack head-on. It's just that Lv Gong's acting skills are really average, and the flaws of cheating the enemy are too obvious. He was seen through by Huang Zhong, who had been fighting for a long time, and then broke through Lv Gong's three-way ambush soldiers and was killed and fled in confusion.

Jiangling City.

In the city, Liu Biao's subordinates had already turned into a pot of porridge, with fierce saliva all over the field, and they were fighting endlessly. Liu Bian listened to the two big ones, couldn't help patting the table angrily, and scolded harshly, "What's the style? Let's discuss a countermeasure. You actually regard the hall as a municipal hawker. There is a small quarrel in three days and a big disturbance in five days. Have you paid attention to Benzhou Mu?"

The noisy lobby suddenly quieted down, and everyone's expressions were different. They stopped blaming each other and fell silent.

Liu Biao took a deep breath and calmed down his ups and downs of excitement. After an hour, he slowly lowered his voice and said, "Heaidu, since Chang'an entered Jingzhou alone, without your brothers' assistance all the way, it would not have been possible to achieve today. Now He Chen claims to have millions of troops going south to the Yangtze River. In addition to the famous generals Wei Yan and Zhang Liao to contain Sun Jian in the east, 800,000 main forces have been Chen Bing Xiangyang, and the soldiers have arrived at the mouth of Hulu Valley. What do you think?

The heteroge is Jing Yue. He and Jing Liang's two brothers can be regarded as the left and right military divisions in the Liu Biao Group. Their ability will never lose to Tian Feng and Ju Shu. When Cao Yan paced Jingzhou, he once wrote a book to Xun Yu and said, "I don't like Jingzhou, but I'm so happy." However, Liu Biao died of illness later, and Liu Cong surrendered. The Jing Yue brothers did not know the reason, so they were depressed in the State of Wei and no longer outstanding. In particular, Jing Liang, there is no record of death at all. You know, this person is the same. Lv Gongyi obeyed his plan to kill him and help Huang Zu escape the disaster. If Sun Ce had exchanged Sun Jian's body at that time, Liu Biao listened to Kui Liang's words and directly cut off Sun Ce, and then took advantage of the victory to Jiangdong. He would not have missed the opportunity to let Sun Ce establish the power of Eastern Wu. It is also possible to become the first hegemon south of the Yangtze River from now on.

Jing Yue said calmly: "He Chen entered the main state. After returning to the emperor from Hongnong, he fought in the south and north in the name of the emperor. First, he swept the Hu Cai and Li Lebaibo's army, then drove Xianbei and Xiongnu in the north, and then destroyed Yuan Shao, then pacified Montenegro, defeated Gongsun Zan, completely pacified the north, and dominated the army. The four prefectures of You and Hebei. And with Ma Teng as an aid, he first pacified the warlords in Guanzhong, then eliminated Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu in Sichuan, and finally destroyed Cao Wei. Now the momentum is like a rainbow, driving down the Yangtze River. As you can see, although Jingzhou has 200,000 armors, and Sun Jian have formed an alliance with each other to attack and defend each other, and there is also the Yangtze River, but it still can't stop He Chen from going south. After more than ten years of chaos, the unification of the world has become the general trend. Therefore, my subordinates thought that the state herdsmen should return to the emperor, and Jingzhou could be saved from the disaster of swords and soldiers.

"The words of different degrees are good, which is also what my subordinates think." At least half of the people in the hall agreed with Jing Yue's statement.

"The greedy people who are afraid of death also dare to confuse the lord here. Jing Yue, it is not a pity that you have died hundreds of times." As soon as Jing Yue finished his words, he scolded angrily, and then said eagerly, "The lord must not listen to Jing Yue's words. He Chen's name is Han Chen, and he is actually a Han thief. It is even more to blackmail the emperor and order the princes. Now the Northern Army is going south, although it is known as a million people, but in the eyes of his subordinates, it is not enough to worry. First of all, the Northern Army is not used to water warfare, and the long soldiers of our army are fighting on the water, and each of them can block ten with one. Secondly, Jiangling is a strong city on the water. There should be sufficient supplies, food and fodder, plus 100,000 yuan. There is absolutely no problem in guarding it for a year and a half. The Northern Army said that the consumption of military grain is an astronomical figure. If you can't attack for a long time, you will inevitably retreat because of the shortage of food and fodder. At that time, our army will come out again, and you will be able to capture He Chen in a battle.

Everyone is anxious, and it is Huo Jun, the general of Jingzhong.

This Huo Jun's character Zhongmiao is a native of Zhijiang, Nanjun, a famous general of Shu and Han in the Three Kingdoms period. His brother Huo Du once gathered hundreds of people in his hometown. Later, when Huo Du died, Liu Biao ordered Huo Jun to inherit the part. In 208, Liu Biao died of illness, and Huo Jun led the subjugate to Liu Bei and was appointed as a general.

The biggest shining point in Huo Jun's life was that Liu Bei attacked Shu and let him guard Jianmeng City alone. First, he righteously refused Zhang Lu's inducement, and then Liu Zhang sent a support ban and Xiang Cun to lead more than 10,000 soldiers to besiege Jianmeng City. Huo Jun only held on for more than a year with hundreds of soldiers, and took advantage of the enemy's relaxation to launch a surprise attack and kill Xiang. Cun, defeat the enemy. It was this war that established his position in Liu Bei's heart, so that when he died of illness, Liu Bei gave an edict to Zhuge Liang, and personally led the ministers to the funeral and stayed in the tomb.

"Zhongmiao's words are extremely true that the Lord must not give up the foundation for nothing." As soon as Huo Jun finished his words, most of the people agreed.

At present, the situation is very clear. It is trapped by the strong pressure of the Northern Army. Led by Jing Yue and He Chen, the old family, they have advised Liu Biao to surrender and find a birth as soon as possible. After Jiangling City was destroyed, not only his own head landed, but his family was also implicated. Most of the war are military generals. Most of them are born average and don't have many concerns.

The main battle is about half of each, and both sides don't give in.

When Liu Biao saw that there was another war of words, he had no choice but to stand up and said angrily, "This is the end of the day. Let's go back and discuss it. Let's discuss it again."

A class of people wanted to say something, but Liu Biao's expression was very resolute, and he had no choice but to retreat.

At this time, Liu Biao's voice sounded and said, "Heaidu will stay."

Everyone's expressions were stunned, especially the main surrender faction, with a happy face, while the main battle faction was full of disappointment.

After everyone retreated, Liu Biao's face drooped. There was no angry expression just now, but a sad face and said, "What Yidu just said was also an idea in someone's heart, but as early as a few years ago, Benzhou Mu had a bad relationship with He Chen. He ordered me to transfer the book many times and ordered me to lead the army to attack Sichuan and Shu, but they were all rejected by someone. I'm afraid that He Chen has already held a grudge. If the local herdsman surrenders, I'm afraid there will be no good fruit to eat. Not to mention He Chen, which of his subordinates, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Xu Huang and Zhang Yu, are not brave in the three armies and are famous generals in the world? Guo Jia and Jia Xu are even more resourceful. If they go to war, they will not have a good end. Therefore, the pastoral of this state is uncertain so far, and it is already difficult to sleep and eat.

Jing Yue nodded as if he realized something. It turned out to be like this. No wonder Liu Biao was hesitant to make up his mind. He said with a serious face, "The Lord's words are reasonable. It's not as good as this. General Cai Mao had many contacts with He Chen in those years. Although it is not a deep friendship, it is also a little friendship anyway. If you don't send him to Xiangyang, let's find out first. If He Chen is generous, regardless of the past, and the lord can still calm Jingzhou after his obedience, then why not surrender? If He Chen has hatred in his heart, then the lord does not need to consider it. He should listen to Huo Jun's will and defend Jiangling City.

Liu Biao nodded repeatedly and said, "What Yidu said is very true. That's it."

After Jing crossed out of the gate of the county, a waiter suddenly gathered around and asked whether Liu Biao was going to surrender.

Jing Yue shook his head and said, "The lord hasn't made up his mind about this matter. There is no need to ask more questions."

Then everyone was disappointed and dispersed.

Staying behind, only Jing Liang and Fu Xun are still waiting. Jing Yue gave a look. The two of them were clear and didn't ask much. They just quietly followed Jing Yue to a remote place.

At this time, Jing Yue looked around carefully. Seeing that there was no idle person, he lowered his voice and said, "The lord wants to surrender, but he is worried that the general will be dissatisfied with him. If we really don't want to pardon Liu Biao, we will definitely go to war. We should prepare early in case we are caught off guard.
