Chapter 78 Merger into Jingzhou

Overnight, Xu Shu's army invaded Jiangdong Lianxia Ai County and Xiushui County, while Taishi Ci used Xinwu and Jianchang as barriers to stop Xu Shu's army. Taishi Ci was personally stationed in Jianchang County, while Han Dang was left in Xinwu County by Taishi Ci. There are 30,000 troops in Xinwu County, Jianchang County and Nanchang City. The two counties seem to have a knife hanging on Jiangdong's head. Naturally, Taishi Ci will not let Xu Shu's army occupy it. But for Xu Shu and Shi Ci, he had no choice but to stick to it and send someone to Wu County to reported this matter.

Xu Shu and Tai Shi Ci did not divide their troops to garrison the counties. After Xu Shu's army captured Ai County and Xiushui counties, he immediately ordered Zhao Le and Ma Liang to guard Ai County, while Xu Shu led the army to Taishi Ci in Xiushui County. The Taishi Ci army was also gathered together. Jianchang and Xinwu counties, as a barrier to block Xu Shu's army, could attack and disturb Xu Shu's army so that he could not divide his troops. If he retreated, he could prevent Xu Shu's army from continuing to go deep into Jiangdong. As the county city of Yuzhang County, Nanchang City is naturally heavily guarded.

Just after the fire, it rained heavily. Xiushui County and Ai County were easily attacked into the city by Xu Shu's army without any precautions. In the county government of Xiushui County, Xu Shu looked at several people: "No one dares to cause trouble in Ai County. We have to stay in Xiushui County for a period of time. During this period, you have to wait to restrain the soldiers. Don't disturb the people. If there is any violation, just send it to Ai County.

"No!" Although several people don't know why Xu Shu did this, they should be busy.

Xu Shu nodded and let a few people go down. The division of labor in the army made it clear that although he had the right to deal with those who made mistakes, he still handed the matter over to Zhao Lei. Before entering Jiangdong, he was not in the mood to consider whether to stay in Jiangdong for a long time, but now he has this idea. Ai County and Xiushui County, adjacent to Jingzhou, occupy these two counties, just like Jiangdong occupying You County. They are taking the initiative to fight against Jiangdong. If Liu Qi can really dominate the world in the future, then these two counties can serve as an important stronghold to attack Jiangdong. Maybe Liu Biao will not care about these two counties and even give up these two counties, but Liu Qi will definitely not let go. Xu Shu has been prepared to be stationed in these two counties for a long time.

The sound of footsteps sounded. Xu Shu raised his head and saw Su Fei coming in with a middle-aged man. Su Fei saluted Xu Shu and pointed to the middle-aged man and said, "He is the county lieutenant of my county." The middle-aged man hurriedly said, "Zhang Xin, see the military division."

Xu Shu nodded and said, "Zhang Xin, tell me about the situation of Xiushui County." Zhang Xin and Xu Shu have ordered people to inquire about this person's prestige in Xiushui County, not as incompetent as the county lieutenant of Ai County.

Zhang Xin already knew that the lieutenant of Ai County was killed and did not dare to neglect it. Seeing Xu Shu's question, he hurriedly said, "There are more than 50,000 people in Xiushui County. Because there are 1,200 people close to the Jingzhou county government, there are surplus soldiers in the arsenal of grain and fod can be ordered to check."

Xu Shu looked at Zhang Xin and said, "From now on, this Xiushui County belongs to Jingzhou Changsha County. Do you understand?"

Zhang Xin hurriedly said, "Zhang Xin knows."

"Well, you will still be the county magistrate of Xiushui County in the future. Are there any bullies in the county? Xu Shu naturally knew that killing bullies and encircled the hearts of the people.

"There are several bullies, and the leader is Zhou Xin. This man is a distant relative of the general Zhou Zhi. No one in the county dares to provoke him. Even if the last general sees him, he will be given three points. There are still two hundred private soldiers around him in the county. The people have complained about him for a long time. Zhang said with a hard laugh.

Xu Shu looked at Su Fei and said, "You are under your command for the time being. If you don't want to surrender, you can let him go. Now you order 500 soldiers and horses and Zhang County Lieutenant to kill the bully together, and remember to make the momentum bigger.

"No." Su Fei immediately took the county lieutenant to kill the bully.

Eight hundred people in Poyang City have been on standby at any time. After a day and a night of rush, Liu Qi and others finally arrived in Poyang City early this morning. At this time, there were only 500 soldiers and horses in Poyang City. Liu Qi did not hesitate to order Gan Ning to enter the city with Jinfan thieves, and took down the gate with a raid. Then he easily took Poyang City with Feihuwei. After entering the city, Liu Qi did not let the cavalry kill all directions, but let the soldiers have a full meal and then rest. He didn't even have time to catch up with the scattered soldiers and horses in the city. He didn't want to occupy the city. His goal was the horse farm.

The horse farm is only less than a hundred miles away from Poyang City. If you hear that Poyang City is lost, you will send troops to fight, and this is Liu Qi's opportunity.

As expected, when the general heard that Poyang City had lost, he immediately sent 2,000 soldiers and horses to support him in an attempt to recapture Poyang.

"Let's go." Liu Qi ordered 800 people to rush out of the city. They have to leave and make a detour to the horse farm before the two thousand troops come. Once he fought with the enemy, he thought that this was the casualty, and Liu Qi needed to avoid some unnecessary battles.

After 800 people left the city, they did not go to the horse farm, but went in the opposite direction, where there was a way to bypass the blockade of 2,000 troops to reach the horse farm smoothly.

On the other side, a Du Bo went to Poyang City with 2,000 soldiers and horses, and Du Bo's face was full of anxiety. Although he was ordered to guard the horse farm, although his official position was not high, he directly obeyed Sun Ce's orders. The horses in the horse farm can't be used even by Sun He, the governor of Poyang.

Although the horse farm is important, it is an idle job, and it is impossible for Sun Ce to send a big future guard. And Poyang and Sun He, ordinary people can't get off the horse farm anyway.

Now Sun He went to destroy Liu Qi, but Poyang City was looted by a group of bandits, so he was not in a hurry. He didn't know that Sun He had died in the battle or where Liu Qi was going.

Du Bo turned his head and asked, "How long will it take to get to Poyang?"

"The general still has a stale of incense to arrive in Poyang City." A soldier gasped.

"Speed up." Uncle Du shouted behind him.

After a stinging of incense, Uncle Du took 2,000 soldiers and horses outside Poyang City, and there were not many people on the street. Uncle Du said to the soldier behind him, "Take a few people to have a look."

The soldier immediately entered the city with several people and soon came out. The soldier came to Uncle Du and said, "The mountain thieves in the general's city heard that the general was coming and left today."

Du Bo looked happy and wanted to see that he was really a mountain thief, otherwise he would not be so afraid of them. Looking at the tired soldier running behind him, Dubo waved his hand and said, "Go into the city, rest for a day and go back to the racecourse tomorrow."

On a path outside Chen, Liu Qi and others were rushing on their way. Poyang said that they had been left behind. In just half an hour, Liu Qi rushed to the horse farm. There was a high guardrail outside the horse farm, and there was a hiss in the guardrail.

Liu Qi ordered people to inquire about the news, and 800 people quietly waited outside the horse farm.
