Chapter 257 Jiangxia's War

Jingzhou Jiangxiakou.

Tens of thousands of sails cover the sky, and banners are everywhere.

Yuan Shu looked at his navy with a sharp sword and was full of pride. As long as he could take Jiangxia, he would take a step in the erosion of Jingzhou. Sooner or later, the land occupied by Jingxiang occupied by Liu Biao will be his Yuan Shu.

Yangzhou has hundreds of thousands of soldiers at this time. If it can take the land of Jingxiang, there will be a rich land in Jingyang and two prefectures with a large population. Naturally, more soldiers can serve him. At that time, if the soldiers point to the world, who dares not accept it, Wang Tu's hegemony will be under his control.

Therefore, this battle cannot be defeated. Yuan Shu is the king of Chu. This personal expedition to Jingzhou is to stimulate morale and give the soldiers a hundred times more confidence. It is best to fight against Jiangxia County. At that time, Jingxiang's land will not be intercepted by him.

The soldiers in the village have been waiting for a long time, and their morale is high. The officer has already told them that the king of Chu has an order in this battle. Who can take the lead in winning the Jiangxia reward, upgrade the official to the third level, and shade the children.

The ground is full of guns and long halberd in hand.

The huge building boat has drifted on the water, like an arrow on the string, issued by an edict.

Yuan Shu was full of confidant counselors and beloved generals. This time, he almost followed him and came to the war. There is no doubt that the chief counselor was Yang Hong. Yang Hong did not want to launch this battle, because he knew that the war with Jingzhou was not the best time at this time, but Yuan Shu couldn't wait. Yangzhou developed rapidly and there were many generals. Yuan Shu, who is full of food and fodder and armor, and is eager to achieve hegemony, has long been unable to wait. As long as he can take Jingzhou and then turn around and knock off Jiangdong, which has always been disobedient, the south can be in his hands. At that time, who can look at the north?

Yang Hong's dissuasion was ineffective and could only follow him, hoping to win this battle.

"Lord, the soldiers have been waiting for a long time. As long as the lord gives an order, the men in Yangzhou can fight for the lord, bloody battle on the battlefield, take Jingzhou, let the blood of Jingzhou people stain the red river, and promote the power of our Chu army!"

Ji Ling, a confidant, was good at using 65 catties of three-pointed and two-edged knives. At this time, the cowhide roared loudly, as if the soldiers of Jingzhou were not noticed by him at all and let him be killed.

Yuan Shu did not reprimand Ji Ling's wild words. On the contrary, he agreed very much. Ji Ling was the first fierce general under his command and the best at attacking the city and pulling out the fortress. The battle of Xuzhou was left to him. If it hadn't been for the Huang Turban in Yuzhou, maybe Ji Ling could take all of Xuzhou.

Ji Ling, who has made great achievements in the war, is very prestigious in the army, and he is so confident and can stimulate morale more.

took a look at Ji Ling with approval and said, "Fuyi, do you think this battle can take Jiangxia?"

Ji Ling's three-pointed two-edged knife shook, and said in a tiger's voice: "Lord, the man of the Chu army dares to fight to death, and the lord encouraged the soldiers in front of the army. Jiang Xia can fight. What's more, Jiangxia's imperial guard Huang Zu, who has no ambition, only sat in his current position by relying on the Huang clan from the middle. He doesn't know the military How can the guy resist my tiger and wolf master!"

Yuan Shu smiled and said, "That's good."

After saying that, he suddenly looked neat and ordered, "Attack, be sure to take down Jiangxia!"

The generals said "No" and turned to arrange it.

At this time, Jiangxia Taishou Mansion has become a mess.

All the generals of Huang Zu Zhaoji came to discuss the matter, but everyone was at a loss. In the face of the strength of the Yuan family, the generals and soldiers were not afraid, and even many people had put on the idea of surrender, which made Huang Zu angry and killed the matter.

However, the most important thing at this time is how to face Yuan Shu's army. Killing a few people can't stop Yuan Shu's attack.

Just while everyone was quarreling, someone suddenly reported outside the door.

"The Chu army is ready to attack. At this time, the sail has come. The general hopes that the lord will reinforce it as soon as possible!"

A former army scouted and reported that no one in Jiangxia could resist the powerful Chu army coming from the state. The former army general was already begging for help. Huang Zu was very anxious. In fact, Huang Zu could be a county guarded, not the waste wood in Ji Ling's mouth. On the contrary, although this person seemed reckless, his unique skills were not few people.

Huang Zu frowned, but the people who heard this said it again.

Huang Zu was so angry that he stood up and shouted, "Shut up. Why are you quarreling? Is it useful to quarrel? Can the Chu army withdraw from the army and not attack Jiangxia? A group of mediocre people, usually arrogant, but now they don't pay attention to it, a group of losers!"

In the face of the scolding of the royal family, everyone was furious, but in the face of Huang Zu, who could draw his sword and kill, no one dared to get out his mold.

Huang Zu thought for a moment and said to the silent people: "Guys, at this time, we have been deeply favored by King Jing, guarding Jiangxia and eating imperial grain. Now is the time to serve King Jing. The Chu army is not good, but our Jingzhou army is not vegetarian. Jingzhou navy is the elite, and the Chu army wants to take advantage of the number of people. It's not that simple. As long as the generals use their lives, they will definitely defeat the Chu army!"

But Huang Zu's encouragement did not work. All the people still bowed their heads. In the face of Yuan Shu, they were afraid. Besides, you just scolded us all. Now it's good that you want us to work for you. How can there be such a good thing in the world?

However, not all people thought so. I saw a general wearing armor and stood up and said, "The Taishou is right. We are all deeply favored by His Royal Highness King Jing. This is the time to repay the great kindness of King Jing. The last general is willing to lead the army and kill the enemy soldiers!"

Then several generals stood up and expressed their willingness to serve King Jing. Most of these people are Jingxiang, and their families, wives and children are all in Xiangyang. They can't have him, otherwise Huang Zu only needs to report, and their wives and children will be unppointed.

Besides, Liu Biao has indeed treated the generals with great kindness and power over the years, attracting them well, cleaning up thousands of miles, and pleasing the people. Under Liu Biao's conscientious governance, Jingzhou is one of the few peaceful and rich places in the world.

He also opened a scripture and learned, loved the people and raised scholars, and calmly saved himself. He was thousands of miles away from the land, with more than 100,000 armor, and called Xiong Jingjiang. Most of these soldiers have been reused by Liu Biao, so at this time, many people remember Liu Biao's great kindness.

With these people coming forward, Huang Zu's face is better, but Jiang Xia doesn't have many soldiers and horses now, and he can't please the enemy, but he has no better idea to come up, so he can only ask everyone.

"Generals, I don't know who has a plan to retreat from the enemy now, but Jiang Xia is in no way?"

Although the generals decided to stay, they had no plan to retreat from the enemy except for the death war with the Chu army, so Huang Zu's plan was doomed to fail. Looking at the generals, Huang Zu had a headache.

value At this time, a young general stood out.

"The last general is willing to lead the water army to fight against the Chu army. With the power of the water army, he will win the first victory and stimulate morale!"

Huang Zu looked at it and found that it was his son Huang She, who was talking. He immediately said angrily, "A lot of nonsense. Huangkou children know the things in the army. The Chu army is powerful. How can Jiang Xia's soldiers take the lead in fighting? Well, these things are not what you can do. If you are young, don't care about you. Let's retreat for the time being!"

Huang She didn't know why his father was angry, but he was young and frivolous. He thought that this was really a good time for him to become famous. As long as he led the water army to defeat Yuan Shu, he would definitely make his name Jing Xiang. At that time, King Jing would reward him.

The more he thought about it, the hotter he became, but when he saw Huang Zu's murderous eyes, Huang Shi suddenly sweated coldly and quickly retreated. However, when he thought about it, he took his own navy to attack Yuan Shu's water army. At that time, his father should not blame him.

Without the wild words, Huang Zu turned around and looked at the map, feeling irritable.

Not long after, scouts came to report.

Yuan Shu's army was like a broken bamboo on the river. The Jingzhou navy was defeated and fled. Fortunately, the Jingzhou navy was elite. The Chu army was only full of people and ships, and the water war was not as good as Jingzhou's elite, so they were just defeated and there were not many casualties.

However, he always failed, and Huang Zu became more and more upset.

Finally, he decided to ask Xiangyang for help again, and this time he decided to send his son Huang She, which could also keep him away from the battlefield. At this time, Jiangxia was so dangerous that Huang Zu had to think about himself and leave his blood heirs.

However, the Chu army will also want to ask for help, so if he didn't bring some troops, Huang shot could not reach Xiangyang, so Huang Zu decided to let Huang shoot take away one-third of the sailors, so that even if he died in battle, Huang shot could revive the Huang family with these people.

But he never dreamed that this time he not only killed his son, but also caused Jiang Xia to fall into the hands of the Chu army and buried everything for himself, so he still ordered: "Huang She listen to the order!"

Huang She originally thought that his father had figured it out and wanted to send him to fight, so he said happily, "Huang She is there!"

How did he know that Huang Zu's words shocked everyone's hearts? He opened his mouth and said, "In view of the great military power of Chu, I decided to ask King Jing for help. I decided to send 5,000 sailors to protect you out of Jiangxia and ask for help in Xiangyang. Do you know it clearly?"

I don't know that Huang Sha was stunned. Even other soldiers were shocked by this order and suddenly sent one-third of Jiangxia's navy. Originally, it was difficult to resist the huge Chu army. Jiangxia's only thing sometimes was the benefit of the navy, but what does Huangzu mean now!

Immediately, a general objected and said, "You must be too guarded, it must be!"

Huang Zu stared at the man and shouted, "Why not!"

Originally, Huang Zu thought that he could drink back the unconscious general, but how did he not know that this man was not afraid, but said calmly: "It is impossible to be the emperor. Now Jiangxia's soldiers and horses are several times less than the Chu army. Our only advantage is the elite navy. If it is suddenly less With 5,000 sailors, how can you resist the Chu army's offensive, so the last general thinks it's absolutely impossible!"

Huang Zu's face was bruised and he couldn't wait to kill this person to vent his anger. However, although he was reckless, he was not a fool, so he said, "What the general said is true, but have you ever thought that even with these 5,000 people, you can defeat the powerful Chu army? If you don't ask King Jing for help quickly, it will be too late. Can you bear the crime of losing Jiangxia?

In the face of Huang Zu's questioning, the general was speechless. The Chu army was strong. If there were no reinforcements, it would indeed not be able to defend it, but without these troops, Jiangxia might be captured in an instant.

Seeing that no one stopped him, Huang Zu directly ordered Huang She to lead the army to Xiangyang, and the generals could only watch.
