Chapter 376 Jingzhou Shock
Zitong, with the news that Liu Zhang's 200,000 troops came to attack Zitong spread, the whole Zitong County fell into an inexplicable panic.
Looking at a team of soldiers and horses going in and out, the people in the city all closed their doors and dared not go out at will, and the whole Zitong City seemed particularly quiet.
Ten thousand Jingzhou soldiers and horses who had just arrived in Zitong have gathered outside the city before they could rest. Zhao Yun's white robe and white armor looked unusually conspicuous. At this time, he was kneeling in front of Liu Qi, and his voice showed firmness.
"Master, don't worry, no matter what the situation is in Mianyang, the last general will control Mianyang in his hands."
Looking at Zhao Yun, who had just arrived at Zitong and had not had time to enter the city, Liu Qi secretly praised in his heart. He had just received the news that Liu Zhang's 200,000 army had gone north. Zhao Yun arrived here in just a quarter of an hour, which coincided with the meeting and solved his urgent needs.
"It doesn't matter. If Mianyang has been lost when you arrive at Mianyang, you can camp outside Mianyang City to prevent Yizhou soldiers and horses from going further north. If it weren't for you, you should kill the vanguard first.
Liu Qi's eyesight were fierce. Even if Mianyang did not lose without defense, he must have suffered heavy losses.
"No." Zhao Yun bowed and saluted again. He suddenly got up and took the war horse beside him, jumped on the horse, arched his hand to Liu Qi and Zhuge Liang, and jumped away.
Ten thousand soldiers and horses behind him only followed, and the first was the 2,000 flying dragon guards. At this time, the flying dragon guards were all holding long guns and pulling the reins, like a torrent following the battle cloud.
Watching Zhao Yun leave, Zhuge Liang came forward and said, "Lord, there is a dragon in Mianyang. There should be nothing wrong. However, Jiangyou has neither generals nor elite soldiers, which is the most important thing to pay attention to.
"Well, there is no general in the city at this time. Although I have ordered Huang Zhong to rush to Jiangyou to guard, Huang Zhong is in Yinping County. By the time he arrives, Jiang You may have fallen into the hands of Yizhou. I personally led 10,000 soldiers and horses to Jiangyou, and Zitong was handed over to the military division for the time being.
Liu Qi thought for a moment and said that although there was no general in Zitong City, Zhuge Liang should be able to resist the attack of Yizhou. This time, Zhao Yun came to lead 20,000 soldiers and horses, and there were still 10,000 soldiers and horses left, just in time to go to support Jiangyou.
"Don't worry, my lord, Zitong has subordinates, and he will definitely be foolproof." Zhuge Liang bowed and said that there were originally 20,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and it was more than enough to guard Zitong.
A quarter of an hour later, Liu Qi led the remaining 10,000 soldiers outside the city to leave.
As soon as Liu Qi left, Zitong City issued a series of orders to the whole Zitong County, and even Wudu County and Yinping County.
"From now on, curfews will be imposed in all places under the rule of Marquis of Minyang. Anyone who violates the ban can be captured on the spot, and if there is resistance, it can be killed on the spot!"
"From now on, all lands under the rule of the Marquis of Mianyang shall not have private contact with Yizhou within three months. All people who go in and out need the credentials issued by the Taishou Office of each county."
...................
A series of orders against the Yizhou army were transmitted to all over the country. The soldiers and horses of each county and the soldiers and horses of each county also acted because of this order.
Although this is not conducive to Jingzhou in the long run, Zhuge Liang did not hesitate to issue them all. Liu Zhang's 200,000 army was not small. Before the Jingzhou army gathered, he did not dare to be careless.
..................................................................................
Shangyong, since Jingzhou recovered Shangyong, Li Hui has been appointed as the governor of Shangyong. Although he knew that he had made contributions to Jingzhou, Li Hui did not dare to neglect at all.
He knew his talent. If it hadn't caught up with the Jingzhou army that had just entered Yizhou and was not familiar with the situation in Yizhou, how could He De be promoted to a supervisor by the military division, and then He could be appointed as the governor of Shangyong.
In less than a month since he served as Shangyong Taishou, Li Hui did not have a good rest for a day, conscientious and diligent. Li Hui, who had just finished his affairs today, was knocked to the ground by a young general who rushed in before he could get out of the government office.
Regardless of not punishing the young general, Li Hui first asked, "What's the matter? Is it in such a hurry?"
"Your Excellency, urgent report."
Opening the letter, Li Hui's face suddenly changed. Liu Zhang actually went north with 200,000 troops. When did Liu Zhang become so bold?
After reading the letter, Li Hui took a deep breath and looked at the young general: "Go and give orders quickly and gather all the soldiers and horses in the city."
With that, Li Hui changed his face and walked to the government office again with an eager face. The letter was a handwritten letter from the military division, telling him to beware of Yizhou soldiers and horses from Brazil County and attack Dong County into Shangyong.
Yizhou General Yan Yan's army is gathered in Brazil County. If this person attacks Jingzhou from Shangyong County, it will be the bottom of the pot for Jingzhou.
Yan Yan's name Li Hui is like thunder. Thinking that this person may attack Shangyong, he dares not neglect at all.
...........................................................................
Wancheng, I don't know how many times more prosperous Wancheng at this time than a few months ago. This Guangwu Emperor Longxing Land has slightly restored its former demeanor.
At this time, in the camp outside Wancheng, Wang Yi was looking at the letter in his hand with a solemn face, and the bright red seal was extremely dazzling.
"This Liu Zhang is so bold." In his eyes, it is clear that Liu Zhang has no scruples about going north with 200,000 troops. Maybe even the whole foundation of Yizhou has been crushed by this abnormal decisive battle.
"Come on, it is said that all the grain and fodder outside the city should be transported back to the city. From now on, the collection of grain and fodder will be stopped for the time being, and it will continue after three months." After thinking about it, Wang Yi shouted outside the door.
With more and more families and even civilians storing the grain and fodder in the granary, it is difficult for the granary to put down so much grain and fodder. There are piles of grain and fodder piled up outside Wancheng. Although there is a large army guarding, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no fine work or dead men in Yizhou.
At the same time, Wu Xiong also looked at the bamboo slips in his hand with a solemn face. After pondering for a while, he ordered: "From now on, no one is allowed to touch the granary. In addition, bring all the information of the owner who manages the granary here, and no one should be left out.
.........................................................
Xiangyang, in Liu Qi's mansion.
Xin Xianying was dressed in plain white and still wore a thin veil, covering the exquisite face just right, leaving only a pair of flexible eyes. The slender and white jade hand was holding a letter and looking at it seriously. The serious look was like looking at a major event related to her life.
In the study, Jia Xu, Yi Ji, Wang Wei and others sat silently with awe-inspiring faces, and their eyes were full of solemnity. Even Jia Xu, who had always been flattered and humiliated, flashed his eyes, showing the restlessness in his heart.
"That is to say, Liu Zhang has already paid attention to the confrontation with the master?" Looking away from the letter in his hand, he looked at several people in the study, and the ethereal voice echoed in the study.
"Liu Zhang has always been cowardly and incompetent. This time, 200,000 troops have forced the lord to fight with him. I think there is something hidden behind it." His eyes flashed, and Jia Xu said first.
Although the person in front of him is a woman, he does not dare to despise her at all, so his attitude is extremely respectful. This woman's talent is extraordinary, and her means are even better. The only bad thing is that I don't know whether it's to maintain the stability of Xiangyang or to deter the rear Xiaoxiao. She is not as lukewarm as the master. She acts more vigorous and more elusive than the lord.
Although the master acts teely, it is often a blow, and it is easier to get along with each other. And the person in front of him doesn't seem to be as patient as his master, and he often goes straight and doesn't show any face. Therefore, Jia Xu also vaguely felt pressure in front of this woman.
"Madam, at this time, there are only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under the command of the lord, which is really overstretched compared with the 200,000 soldiers and horses in Yizhou. The last general is willing to take the Xuanwu army to reinforce." Wang Wei's voice was like a bell, which made the study buzz.
"The grain and grass can be transported directly to Yizhou by Wancheng to quickly reinforce the lord." Yi Ji also said.
"Since he knows that Liu Zhang has always been cowardly, this time he can raise an army of 200,000 troops and force the lord to fight to the death with him, it must be someone who is planning for him." After Yi Ji finished speaking, Xin Xianying opened his mouth again.
The gauze scarf covers her face. I can't see what kind of expression Xin Xianying is. Several people dare not comment. The strength of the lady seems to have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
General Wang immediately led 50,000 Xuanwu troops to Yizhou to support the lord, and ordered Wuling Shangyong and other places to gather soldiers and horses in the army to prepare to attack Yizhou at any time. At the same time, he sent envoys to Nanman and Jiaozhou. Liu Zhang and his son are not the figures covering the sky in Yizhou. Mr. Jia chose to send people to Yizhou to contact those who were persecuted by Liu Zhang and his son, as well as those families that have declined over the years. There is no need to cover up these things. As for how to do it, I think Mr. Jia should know better than me. After a little meditation, Xin Xianying's voice sounded again, and his voice had become a little cold.
"No." Several people all bowed to themselves.
"Order Wancheng to prepare grain and fodder. The water army in Hanzhong keeps delivering grain and fodder to the army day and night. We must ensure that there is enough grain and fodder." As soon as several people answered, Xin Xianying's order was issued again.
"No." Several people bowed again. Seeing that Xin Xianying stopped saying anything, they got up and went to prepare.
With the departure of several people, the study fell into silence again. Xin Xianying's cold voice sounded again, revealing a trace of anger, as if whispering and as if to say it to the air.
"Jinyiwei is responsible for collecting information from Yizhou. Liu Zhang mobilizes 200,000 troops. There is no news about such a big thing. This is Jinyiwei's dereliction of duty and punishment. After this battle, I will be guilty."
"No." In the empty study, there was a low shout without warning.
After dealing with the matter, Xin Xianying stood up and was ready to leave. When he passed the screen in the study, his pace paused a little and the surprise flashed away, and then he ignored it and began to leave.
Not long after Xin Xianying left, there was a faint cry after the screen. Then he stretched out his head and looked at the situation outside. After seeing no one, he walked out. However, she is a girl who has been beautiful for 28 years. She is graceful and beautiful with light blue clothes all over her body.
The girl first looked at the place where Xin Xianying had just done, spit out her tongue, flashed her eyes, and walked out of the study.
