Chapter 90 On the Eve of the Great War

South County!

The Flying Dragon Army has been cultivating in Nanjun since the battle with Nanyang Zhangxiu. The Flying Dragon Army has 20,000 people like the Flying Tiger Guard, and there are also 2,000 Flying Dragon Guards who are cavalry.

As one of the two generals of Jingzhou, Wen Ping has unmatched prestige in Jingzhou, and even Wang Wei, who is a flying tiger guard, is slightly lower than him. In recent years, the Flying Tiger Guard has not moved easily in Xiangyang, but the Flying Dragon Army has never stopped in the battle between the south and the north, which makes Wenpin, who was originally evenly matched with Wang Wei, more and the Flying Dragon Army has also slightly overwhelm the Flying Tiger Army, and the name of the Flying Dragon Army's killing has spread all over Jingxiang.

Unlike Wang Wei's bravery, Wen Yi is known for his caution, but caution does not mean defense. Wen Ping, the commander of the Flying Dragon Army, is cautious but has extraordinary strategy. He can often defeat the opponent in one fell swoop, so that the enemy has no power to fight back at all. It is because Wenpin is cautious but has a murderous spirit. Jiang Dong and Zhang Xiu also have to be careful when they meet Wenpin.

Wen Ping's love for reading makes him exude elegance all over his body. If he changes into a Confucian robe, he may think he is a famous scholar.

The Chinese recruitment of the Chinese army is reading with a bowed head, and a general in front of him is standing there. Wen Ping put down the emergency report in his hand and said to the general, "Order the whole army to assemble immediately."

The young general bowed and then ran out. For a while, the rapid sound of drums spread all over the camp, and the messy footsteps sounded. Only a dozen breaths of 20,000 flying dragons had been assembled on the school yard, and Wen Ping had appeared on the school yard in armor. Without words, Wenpin waved his hand and went to Jiangxia with 20,000 troops.

Contrary to the Flying Tiger Army, the armor of the Flying Dragon Army is black all over, only a piece of armor on the shoulder is white, and a flying dragon takes off above it. This is also an example of the tit-for-tat between the Flying Tiger Army and the Flying Dragon Army. Liu Ciao, Wang Wei and Wen Ping did not stop it, but skillfully continued this competition.

The deputy came to Wen Ping and asked, "General, where are you going this time?"

Wen Ping said concisely, "Jiangxia."

The deputy general was shocked and said, "Is the Jiangdong army attacking Jiangxia again?" Jiangdong has not attacked Jiangxia for a long time. At most, it is a tentative attack. In the past few months, the situation in the north has suddenly tightened. There is no riot in Jiangdong, and even the embroidery has been quietly in Nanyang.

Wen Ping nodded and said, "It's a big attack on Jingzhou, but not Jiangxia, but Changsha."

The deputy general wondered, "Then why did the Flying Dragon Army go to Jiangxia?" Is it to guard against Jiangdong? Then who will go to Changsha? Isn't it Feihuwei?

With a few questions on his face, Wen Ping was not bored but explained, "The Flying Dragon Army went to Jiangxia to save one person. There is no need to worry about the guard of General Zhengnan in Changsha."

"Saving people? Who to save?" The vice general didn't understand.

Wen Ping meditated for a while and said, "General Zhengnan."

The deputy general muttered, "General Zhengnan." The deputy general looked up at Wen Ping in surprise and said, "It's the eldest son!"

Wen Ping nodded and handed the emergency report in his arms to the deputy general. The deputy general took over the emergency report and quickly read it. There was not much content in the emergency report. The deputy general read it over and over again. Finally, he said, "I didn't expect you to do such a happy thing." His face was full of excitement, especially when he saw the eldest son kill Sun He and defeat Jiangdong's 5,000 troops in Poyang County. Over the years, he has long wanted to attack Jiangdong, but he has not had a chance. Now he is also excited to see the eldest son attack Jiangdong.

Wen Ping took a look at the excited vice general and smiled and said nothing.

The deputy general looked at Wen Ping and said, "It takes a day to get to Jiangxia from here, and the eldest son doesn't know where he is. If you don't let the last general lead the cavalry to find out the news first."

Wen Ping naturally knows what the deputy general is thinking, but what the deputy general said is also reasonable: "You have to find out the news in Jiangxia territory."

The deputy general should immediately be: "No." Immediately turn the horse's head and leave.

Yuzhang County

It took Zhou Yu to get to Yuzhang County in five days, and the 30,000 army of Taishi Ci had been tossed by Xu Shu. However, when he saw Zhou Yu coming, the soldiers regained their confidence one by one. The reason why Zhou Yu's prestige was so popular in Jiangdong was not only because of his talent, but also because of his ability to lead the army.

Seeing Zhou Yu coming, Han Dang and Tai Shici handed over the army to Zhou Yu without even reading Sun Ce's appointment letter. It could be seen that Zhou Yu's prestige and Xu Shu's ability made them chill, but the arrival of Zhou Yu made Tai Shici and Han Dang relieved.

After Zhou Yu arrived at Yuzhang, he ordered 30,000 soldiers and horses to gather together on the same day, and ignored Xu Shu's disturbance. Although the Jingzhou army invaded Jiangdong, only 10,000 people of Jingzhou's army can barely maintain it now stationed in the two counties, and did not dare to divide troops to attack other counties at all. Zhou Yu saw through this that completely ignored Xu Shu's harassment. In just two days, the 30,000 troops, which were harassed by Xu Shu's day and night, immediately recovered. Come over, and the morale has swelled to the peak.

Grain and grass were also transported here to Yuzhang County, and they also transported stone throwers to attack the city. Jiangdong's soldiers and horses were frequently mobilized in the hope of recovering Ai County and Xiushui counties as soon as possible.

In the past two days, Zhou Yu is not only mobilizing soldiers and horses, but also familiar with the soldiers and horses. Now 30,000 soldiers and horses Zhou Yu has been waving like arms, and 30,000 troops have gathered and are ready to set out to recover the two counties at any time.

And Xu Shu was not idle. After Zhou Yu arrived, he immediately asked the soldiers to stop attacking, although he had never seen Zhou Yu. However, it is natural to be the governor of Jiangdong. In addition, Sima Hui and several others have also praised Zhou Yu, and Xu Shu was very careful. The situation here has been reported to Xiangyang. If there is no accident, Liu Biao will send troops. What he has to do now is to guard these two counties and wait for the arrival of reinforcements.

Ai County's proximity to Jingzhou can not only echo Xiushui County, but also report the situation to Jingzhou at any time. In case he had temporarily transferred Han Xuan and Yang Ling to You County, even brought the remaining 10,000 soldiers and horses from Linxiang to support Ai County and Xiushui County at any time.

At this time, Ai County was still guarded by Zhao Lei, but Xu Shu also transferred Ma Liang and Su Fei to Ai County, and the number of soldiers and horses in Ai County has also increased to 5,000. Under the construction of Zhao Lei, Ai County not only raised the wall, but also dug the moat outside the city wall. The military crossbows brought from Jingzhou on the wall can be launched at any time. At Ma Liang's suggestion, Zhao Le moved all the people of Ai County to Jingzhou's current Ai County, which is a complete military fortress, and the roads in the city were widened and modified to facilitate defense.

At the same time, Xu Shu also increased the defense of Xiushui County, and the number of soldiers and horses also increased to 10,000. The people of Xiushui County were also moved to Jingzhou. Only Xiushui City still lived in the huge Xiushui County.

Xu Shu picked out 500 soldiers with amazing arms from the 10,000 troops and handed them over to Commander Zhou Cang as a battalion. Liu Pan's Fengya camp was also officially established. Liu Pan, with the consent of Xu Shu, selected 300 people from the 10,000 army and the original hundreds of people to form the Fengya camp, training tirelessly every day.

Compared with Ai County, Xiushui County did not have a lot of construction. Xu Shu only ordered people to raise the wall and the others were the same as before.

The atmosphere in Yuzhang County is tense, so that many merchants who originally went to Yuzhang no longer go, and the war is about to begin.

...............

Cheng Pu from Poyang County led 2,000 cavalry to Lujiang County after a night's rest in Poyang County, and finally found the trace of Liu Qi in Pengze County. When he learned that Liu Qi had robbed the two wives, Cheng Pu was stunned. While blocking the news about the two wives, he secretly sent a message to Wu Jun.

Although Liu Qi's plan is fine, it is easy to find clues. It is easy for Cheng Pu to lead the army to find the three similarly burned ships south of Pengze County. After finding traces of Liu Qi's soldiers and horses on the bank of the Yangtze River, Cheng Pu immediately led the army to fight with Chai Sang and attacked Jingzhou from Chai Sang to search for Liu Qi's traces.

Although the west of Chaisang City belongs to the boundary of Jingzhou, there is no city defense, and the traces of Liu Qi and others are too obvious. It is easy to find Liu Qi and others on the dark line arranged by Ling Cao in Jingzhou. After discussing with Ling Cao, Cheng Pu and his soldiers went to pursue.

And Sun Jing and Sun Wei's 20,000 troops have also left Wu County and followed Cheng Pu directly to Chai Sang. The whole Jiangdong can feel the solemn atmosphere.

The war kicked off when neither side expected it.

The mobilization of soldiers and horses in Jingzhou and Jiangdong naturally shocked other princes. Compared with the previous mobilization of soldiers and horses in Jingzhou and Jiangdong was too frequent. Not only did the sudden increase the number of soldiers and horses in Lujiang County, but also the gathering of soldiers and horses in Yuzhang County, and the two sides were increasing their troops on the front line, which was very similar to the situation of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

The princes of all walks of life did not expect that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao had not yet started a war, while Liu Biao and Jiang Dong in the south had already started a war. Jiangxia and Changsha fought on the two fronts. In their opinion, Jingzhou and Jiangdong clearly planned to fight a decisive battle.

And the mobilization of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in the north did not stop because of this. Cao Cao couldn't wait for Liu Biao and Sun Ce to fight both sides to attack Cao Cao in the back of his decisive battle with Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao did not take Sun Ce and Yuan Shao seriously. He had previously planned to let Liu Biao attack Cao Cao, but the messenger sent did not send back the news.

Although Zhang Xiu in Nanyang has been coveting Jingzhou, Cao Cao from the north stared at him at any time. Once he left and completed it, Cao Cao would definitely send someone to copy his back path. For a moment, Zhang Xiu did not dare to act rashly.

Liu Zhang from Yizhou has been sending troops to guard against Zhang Lu in Hanzhong. He did not pay any attention to the war between Liu Biao and Sun Ce, and even sent people to Jingzhou in private to ask Liu Biao if he needed assistance.

Liu Qi, who was not aware at all, was rushing to Jingzhou with 800 cavalry at this time. The place where they were was only dozens of miles away from Chai Sang, and the whole Jiangxia was only a few cities that could stop the attack of Jiangdong soldiers and horses.

At the beginning, in order to catch up, Liu Qi had to let Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao ride a horse. In a few hours, the two women were so tired that they were sweating. Liu Qi had no choice but to let them ride in a carriage, and the speed of Liu Qi and others suddenly slowed down.
