Killing system of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 240

Although the official position of the captain of the navy is also a miscellaneous general, he is the leader of one party, and the navy in the entire river area is under Li Baolai's management.With Zhang Yi's attitude towards the navy, after Li Jin joined the navy, his status would definitely not be lower than that of Zhang Shun, and he would not stay in Wu County for several years.

The five people negotiated and made a decision, and quickly set off for Changsha the next day.The Changsha mentioned here is actually Linxiang County. Chinese place names often have several names. The capital of Changsha County in Linxiang City. When many people say Linxiang, they basically say Changsha. After a series of changes, Linxiang was gradually called Changsha later.Just like we said Xuchang before, it was actually called Xu County in this era. After the imperial court moved here, it can be called Xudu, and Xuchang is just the name of later generations.

Linxiang is located in the middle of Changsha County, far away from Xiajun. Xiajun needs to go through Luo County to go to Linxiang.There are not many soldiers and horses in Luo County now. Huang Zhong took away all the soldiers and horses in Luo County in order to go back to defend Linxiang.Fu Youde stopped in Luo County to protect the supply route for the four of them.

Zhang Yi's entire supply line is carried out in the river and its tributaries, mainly in three supply areas, one is Xiangyang, the other is Jiangling, and the other is Luo County.These three places all rely on the Jiangshui and Hanshui, and they are also Zhang Yi's three current battlefields.The fighting in Jiangling has not stopped, and Li Bao, Liu Heita and others still want to attack the county under Jiangling.Yiling is not the westernmost county of Jiangling. Zigui and Wu counties are further west than Yiling. The reason why Zhang Yi asked Liu Heita to station in Yiling is because the roads leading to Zigui and Wu counties are too difficult. You need to find out the way before you can attack.

After taking Luo County, Fu Youde stayed with the extra soldiers, and the other four took 2 people directly to the south, along the Xiangshui River all the way to Linxiang.

In Linxiang City, Huang Zhong stood on the city wall, looking at the enemy troops besieging the city, his face became serious.There are at least [-] to [-] enemies, while in Linxiang City, there are only about [-], and most of them are weak soldiers.Now that the enemy is besieging the city, as long as the siege equipment is built, Linxiang will be difficult to defend.Huang Zhong has a deep understanding of the elite soldiers of the enemy, so the current situation makes him feel a little scared.

Huang Zhong is good at charging into battle, and he is not outstanding in strategy. Facing such a predicament, he has no good way.Although Linxiang belongs to a big city, it is far from a real big city, and can only be regarded as a medium-sized city.

"General, the prefect is here to invite you!" A soldier walked up behind Huang Zhong and said.

Huang Zhong frowned, then nodded.

The prefect of Changsha was called Han Xuan. Since Liu Qing pacified Zhang Xian, Liu Biao had not appointed a prefect.In this private situation, prefects can be appointed at will, and it is too common for a county to have several prefects.Han Xuan was not appointed by Liu Biao, but by Cao Cao.Not only Han Xuan, but also Jin Xuan, the prefect of Wuling, Zhao Fan, the prefect of Guiyang, and Liu Du, the prefect of Lingling, were all officials appointed by Cao Cao.

Cao Cao has always tried to appoint officials from various places, often using this method to cause trouble to other princes, and Zhang Yi was less disgusted by Cao Cao.Who let Cao Cao control Emperor Han now?As long as the princes recognize the Han Dynasty, they will inevitably be suppressed in this way.Liu Biao's control over Jing Nan was too weak, and Han Xuan and the others were very respectful to him, so Liu Biao acquiesced. He didn't want to break up with Cao Cao.

Han Xuan still has some abilities. He can have both sides between Cao Cao and Liu Biao, and he is not annoying. This is also a skill.

But Huang Zhong didn't like Han Xuan very much. Han Xuan was indeed very good in politics, but he was afraid of war.In peaceful times, he might be called a minister, but in troubled times, he can only be a fool.Huang Zhong was very dissatisfied with Han Xuan's vacillation, but there was no other way, he belonged to Changsha County, and if the prefect wanted to see him, he had to go to see him.

Han Xuan, like other celebrities, looks like a jade tree facing the wind.Huang Zhong came to the prefect's mansion and met Han Xuan: "Meet the prefect!"

Han Xuan was relatively timid. Knowing that the city was surrounded by an army, he was always frightened, "General Huang, the army outside the city is besieging the city. Can the general have a plan to defeat the enemy?"

Huang Zhong shook his head and said: "The soldiers outside the city are elite. If you go out to attack at night, you may not be able to win. The last general once attacked the enemy camp at night, and the enemy responded quickly. Just now the last general observed the camp and found that these soldiers did not give up. ..."

Han Xuan interrupted Huang Zhong: "Does that mean that General Huang is not sure of winning?"

Huang Zhong nodded, he was indeed not sure of victory.

Han Xuan said: "Since we are not sure of victory, how about surrendering to Kaicheng?"

When Huang Zhong heard the words, he immediately became furious: "Why did the eunuch say this? This is a time of life and death crisis. The eunuch does not think of being loyal to the emperor and repaying the master, but wants to surrender to the enemy. What's the reason?"

Han Xuan smiled wryly: "Nowadays the world is not peaceful, there are many princes, and the Han Dynasty has survived in name only. If it weren't for the Han Dynasty's 400-year prestige, the princes would definitely become kings. How could they obey others?"

Huang Zhong said: "Everyone in the world admires loyalty. If the prefect surrenders easily, I don't think Zhang Yi would appreciate someone who surrenders casually, right?"

Han Xuan also knew that what Huang Zhong said was reasonable, but he had his own thoughts: "During Zhang Yi's expedition, many people died. I don't want to be the next one! General Huang, do you want to be the next one?"

Huang Zhong raised his head, "The only thing left is death, what is there to be afraid of?"

Huang Zhong is indeed not afraid of death!But Han Xuan was afraid!He waved his hand and said, "In that case, everything in the city will be handed over to General Huang!"

After Huang Zhong left, he immediately took over all the city defenses in Linxiang and began to prepare for defense.

But Han Xuan closed his house tightly and didn't see anyone. He didn't want to wait for the enemy to enter the city and think that he was helping Huang Zhong. In this troubled world, he just wanted to save his life.

The four people outside the city set up camp in an orderly manner, and then built siege equipment.Linxiang is close to the Xiangshui River, and the water for the moat is imported from the Xiangshui River. If you want to get close to the city wall, you must cross the moat. To cross the moat, you need to use a bridge cart. Without a bridge cart, you can only use a mound of soil.It was too time-consuming to use a mound of soil, so the four chose bridge vehicles. As long as the bridge vehicles were built, they could attack the city.

Huang Zhong saw that the enemy camp continued to build siege equipment, and his worries continued to increase.He called his lieutenant general: "You must watch the city, and don't let something happen in the city."

The deputy general asked: "General, are you afraid of the prefect?"

Huang Zhong nodded, "That's true. If Han Xuan is determined to surrender, we have to be on guard!"

The deputy general nodded and said, "I will keep an eye on the prefect's mansion."
