At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Mi Heng was stunned for a long time without figuring out the doorway.

But Mi Heng soon became the laughing stock of Puyang City.

He quickly got the appointment document, asking him to go to Jingzhou to be the Xiangyang order. He didn't know what to do with the document, and finally embarked on the journey to Jingzhou inexplicably.

Guo Pengcai didn't want to waste his time on an idiot. It's because this idiot has a good reputation and caused a lot of trouble.

Originally, Cheng Yu suggested that Guo Peng get rid of him secretly, but Guo Peng shook his head and suddenly remembered the way Cao Cao dealt with Mi Heng.

So someone Guo repeated his old trick and sent Mi Heng to Jingzhou, and the same thing happened afterwards.

Ni Heng was welcomed by Liu Biao in Xiangyang, but he was arrogant and offended Liu Biao several times. Liu Biao couldn't bear him, so he sent him to Huang Zu's side, thinking that it would be pure if he was out of sight.

Mi Heng came back and scolded Guo Peng and Liu Biao for not knowing heroes, so when he went to Huang Zu, he restrained himself a little and did a good job in clerical work.

But the country is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change. Soon, he made a mistake again. This time, he met Huang Zu who was drunk.

Afterwards, Huang Zu's reputation plummeted, and he regretted it very much. After tracing the matter, he found that it was Guo Peng who blamed Liu Biao, and Liu Biao who blamed him again.

He complained to Liu Biao, but because Liu Biao was his immediate boss and reused him, he didn't dare to complain, so he transferred all his hatred to Guo Peng.

So Huang Zu began to hate Guo Peng.

I hate Guo Peng for being cunning, I hate Guo Peng for harming him, and for letting him fall into such a situation, the Huang family's prestige in Jiangxia has been seriously damaged.

Lu Fan believed that both public and private Huang Zu hated Guo Peng very much, so he would be happy to send troops to help Sun Quan. Now Sun Quan really needs Huang Zu's help.

But who would have thought that after seeing Lu Fan, Huang Zu's expression was helpless, and his hands were spread out.

"Ziheng, it's not that I don't want to send troops, but that something happened in Jingzhou, and I can't protect myself. I have to dispatch troops to counter the rebellion, and I really don't have enough troops here to help you."

So Huang Zu told Lu Fan about Zhang Xian's rebellion.

Lu Fan was taken aback, very astonished.

He never expected that when Wei Jun attacked Jiangdong, Liu Biao also encountered a backyard fire.

Zhang Xian, the prefect of Changsha, rebelled with [-] soldiers. Lingling County and Guiyang County followed him. At first, Wuling County did not support him, but Zhang Xian recruited the barbarians of Wuling to fight together, killed the prefect of Wuling appointed by Liu Biao, and replaced him with his own people. , So Wuling County also rebelled.

The four counties in Jingnan rebelled together, and Liu Biao was very annoyed.

In fact, the four prefectures in southern Jing have not been able to deal with Liu Biao for a long time. This is also in line with the political environment of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The south of the Yangtze River and the north of the Yangtze River are two completely different political ecologies.

The essence of Jingzhou is located in Jiangbei, and the prosperous and developed places are also located in Jiangbei. There are more Han people in Jiangbei, and more Han people and barbarians live in Jiangnan.

Liu Biao rode into Jingzhou, wooed the local tyrants in Jingzhou, and transferred their interests to the tyrants, so the tycoons supported Liu Biao, and Liu Biao gained a firm foothold, but this foothold was standing on the north of the Yangtze River.

In the four Jingnan counties south of the Yangtze River, not to mention Liu Biao, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Kuai Yue and other Jingzhou celebrities can't get in the way.

There are local powerful representatives, although they are not well-known, but they are powerful. They respect Liu Biao as the Lord of Jingzhou, but Liu Biao doesn't want to touch their cake easily.

Chapter 741 Huang Zu is in action

Jingzhou people have their own tacit understanding, which is not up to Liu Biao.

So for a long time, Liu Biao's government decrees could not cross the river. Although he was a shepherd of Jingzhou in name, it was hard to say how many people paid attention to him as a shepherd of Jingzhou.

People in Jingbei didn't pay much attention to him, let alone the four counties in Jingnan. That was rule in a symbolic sense, and paying some taxes in a symbolic sense.

Many of the prefects of the four prefectures were natives of Jingzhou, including Zhang Xian, who were quite famous and had never had a good relationship with Liu Biao.

It's not that Liu Biao is completely unambitious, and he also wants to get involved in Jingnan, but he can't speak much in Jingbei, let alone Jingnan.

Liu Biao and Zhang Xian didn't deal with each other for a year or two, they had accumulated grudges for many years, Zhang Xian was unhappy with Liu Biao, and Liu Biao was also very unhappy with him.

Originally, Liu Biao did not really offend his interests, but as a result of the disastrous defeat in the First Battle of Nanyang, Liu Biao was beaten into a shrinking turtle, and he never dared to look north again.

Liu Biao began to mobilize troops into Jingnan in an open and honest manner, counting the local household registration, thinking of collecting more taxes and getting more food and fodder, which is not good, and it provokes everyone's interests.

You, Liu Jingsheng, treat us all like persimmons?

Huan Jie, Zhang Xian's confidant, was a native of Changsha, and it was Sun Jian who raised Xiaolian for him when he was the prefect of Changsha.

After Sun Jian died in battle, he was still the one who went to see Liu Biao and got back the body of the leader Sun Jian. He had a great reputation in Changsha County.

He has some insights, and he has always been unhappy with Liu Biao, not only because he has a grudge against Sun Jian's death, but also because he thinks that Liu Biao is not a person who can achieve great things, and because Liu Biao is now trying to do something to the four counties in Jingnan, so he privately urged Zhang Xian to do something .

"Now the king of Wei's army is in Runan, Yingchuan, and Shangyong. Liu Jingsheng hid in Jiangling because of fear, and then marched into Jingnan. It is obvious that he wants to occupy Jingnan and use Jingnan as the base to attack the king of Wei. If he succeeds , How should Duke Ming deal with himself? I am worried about Duke Ming in private."

Zhang Xian nodded.

"I'm also deeply worried about it. Liu Jingsheng didn't follow the rules and sent troops to Jingnan. It seems that Guo Zifeng put too much pressure on him. As a result, Jingnan is hard to protect. What should I do?"

"There are a lot of people in Jingnan who hate Liu Jingsheng. Everyone is not convinced by Liu Jingsheng, and they are even less willing to fight against King Wei for Liu Jingsheng."

Huan Jie said: "The king of Wei wiped out all the heroes in the north and unified the north. The great cause will be accomplished and the wings will be full.

"what do you mean?"

"Why don't you raise your troops to fight back against Liu Jingsheng and seize Jiangling to meet the army of King Wei?"

Huan Jie said: "Jingzhou will be acquired by King Wei sooner or later. The general situation of the world has become clear. Isn't Duke Ming clear? Duke Ming doesn't think about himself, but also for his family and descendants. Whether to follow Liu Jingsheng or King Wei, Minggong You must have made up your mind."

"This……"

Zhang Xian frowned: "Guo Zifeng's succession to the king of Wei is not in line with the usual practice. He is suspected of usurping the throne. He is likely to be criticized and his reputation will be damaged. In this case, wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate for me to rely on him?"

"Ming Gong is confused."

Huan Jie hurriedly persuaded: "The world is in chaos, and the artifacts are easier. It is a natural reason. Now that King Wei's promotion is already recognized by the people of the world, no one opposes King Wei. King Wei is full-fledged and unstoppable. When you are an enemy of the king of Wei, isn't it like a chariot with the arms of a mantis?"

"What you said makes sense."

Zhang Xian was silent for a while, then nodded: "Don't think about yourself, but also think about your family. The general situation of the world has reached this point, and I don't want to see it, but Liu Jingsheng's repeated threats are really too much. If you don't He thought Zhang was easy to bully!"

So Zhang Xian adopted Huan Jie's opinion with hesitation and began to plan a rebellion.

His reputation in the four counties of Jingnan is much greater than that of Liu Biao, and the four counties of Jingnan obey his orders more than Liu Biao's, so he contacted the troops of the four counties of Jingnan, raised [-] troops, and declared rebellion. To resist Liu Biao's rule in Jingzhou.

Then he started the Northern Expedition and started the journey to conquer Liu Biao. The soldiers pointed directly at Jiangling.

Jiangling was right by the river, and Zhang Xian's army could go northward along the water and reach the city of Jiangling. So Liu Biao was shocked when he heard the news, and immediately mobilized troops to counter the rebellion.

He asked Zhennan Zhonglang General Huang Zhong to take command and lead an army of [-] to fight against Zhang Xian.

Huang Zhong led the army to the south and followed the water to attack Zhang Xian's Northern Expeditionary Army.

Then Liu Biao asked Zhonglang General Wenpin to lead the army south to Wuling County to fight against the Wuling barbarians who followed Zhang Xian to invade the north. stop!

Liu Biao was very angry.

Zhang Xian's two northern expeditions, and Liu Biao's two southern expeditions, confronted them tit for tat, so the Jingzhou civil war officially broke out.

Huang Zu was going to support Sun Quan, but the civil war broke out in Jingzhou. Liu Biao asked Huang Zu not to continue to support Sun Wu for the time being. It was more important to send troops back to the south to fight Zhang Xian.

When Huang Zu got the news, he was about to leave, but he was delayed. He was forced to send a large number of troops to Jiangling to help Liu Biao put down the chaos. The matter of supporting Sun Quan can only be discussed later.

Liu Biao thinks that no matter how useless Sun Quan is, he can persist for a year or so. This year and a half is enough time for him to clean up Zhang Xian, a guy who eats inside and out. After cleaning up Zhang Xian, he can help Sun Quan. That's a matter of words.

Therefore, although Huang Zu still has a large number of ships in his hands, he is not strong enough to advance.

Knowing the current situation, Lu Fanru was hit hard by the thunder, and suddenly collapsed on the ground, his face ashen.

"Did Wu Gong lose the battle?"

When Huang Zu saw Lu Fan's expression, he was shocked.

"Duke Wu...defeated, Zhou Dudu...died in battle..."

Lu Fan covered his face and began to cry: "Without reinforcements from Jingzhou, the State of Wu would not even be able to defend Yuzhang County and Luling County! The fall of the State of Wu is just around the corner!"

Lu Fan burst into tears, Huang Zu was also shocked.

This……

Zhou Yu is dead?

Wu was defeated?

How long has this been going on?This has only been carried out for more than a month and less than two months!

It wasn't long before Huang Zhong collided with Zhang Xian, and the main forces of both sides are still gesticulating. There is still some time before the decisive battle, so you will decide the winner here?

How on earth do you fight!

Liu Biao also said that Sun Quan could last for a year and a half. Is this a year and a half? !

Huang Zu was completely dumbfounded.

"The Wei army bypassed the defense line along the river and attacked the Jiangdong mainland from some unknown place. Zhou Dudu fought with them and died in the battle. The main force was wiped out, and the rear was lost. The front army could not continue to fight. We have already given up on Wujun and Danyang counties, if the Wei army continues to fight over, Yuzhang and Luling counties will also be lost."

Lu Fan looked very anxious: "Your Majesty, can you speak to Liu Jingzhou? Wu really needs Jingzhou's reinforcements! If Wu is not protected, Jiangdong is lost, and Jingzhou faces enemies on three sides, is this what Liu Jingzhou wants to see? ?”

"This……"

Huang Zu was a little anxious: "Why is this happening? It's only been two months! Wei Jun is a magic soldier?"

Lu Fan was speechless.

He also felt that everything was too fast, but it really happened.

In fact, he has not yet figured out how Wei Jun crossed the Yangtze River and came to Jiangdong to fight with them in the field.

But it doesn't matter anymore, it really doesn't matter anymore, everything is doomed.

Now that the matter has come to this point, they have no other choice but to come here to ask for help, but they just ran into civil strife in Jingzhou.

"Wouldn't Zhang Xian be bought by Guo Peng?!"

Lu Fan gritted his teeth in hatred for Zhang Xian.

"It's useless to say these things now, he has turned against him. I only have less than [-] sailors on my side, and there are quite a few warships, but without soldiers, I can't use them."

Huang Zu nervously said: "You really can't hold it anymore? Yuzhang County can't hold it?"

"Dangerous, very dangerous. Although Yuzhang County is still in our hands, our army's morale is so bad that we are no longer able to fight against the enemy. If we continue to fight, we will definitely be defeated. This is beyond doubt. Farewell forever, Jingzhou will face the enemy three times!"

Lu Fan wiped his eyes and took a deep breath: "Your lips are dead and your teeth are cold, whether Liu Jingzhou and the Fujun are willing to send troops to help, please tell Lu now!"

Huang Zu was so anxious when he was told that, he paced back and forth for a while, and gritted his teeth.

"The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. Without Wu, Jiangxia must suffer! No matter what, Wu can't be destroyed. I have few soldiers here, but 3000 people can be used for emergency. You take 3000 people away first, and I will recruit some more." Soldiers and horses, let me ask Liu Jingzhou to ask for some troops, what do you think?"

Huang Zu asked this question.

Lu Fan finally showed joy.

"It's so good! It's so good! Mr. Huang, if you and I join hands to defeat the enemy this time, it will be a good story!"

"For you, but also for me!"

Huang Zu shook his head: "That's all, that's all, I don't want to see Guo Zifeng get better!"

Huang Zu then ordered his son Huang She to lead [-] troops and warships to support Yuzhang County and assist the Wu army in Yuzhang County to resist the invasion of Wei army. Send a message, request reinforcements.

Chapter 742 - I hope that a thunderstorm will come down from the sky and kill Guo Zifeng

Huang Zu quickly sent the news to Liu Biao. Liu Biao was very surprised when he heard the news, and immediately called Kuai Yue to discuss the matter with him.

At this moment, Huang Zhong defeated Zhang Xian's army in Changsha County and prevented Zhang Xian from continuing to go north.

Wenpin also fought a battle with the Wuling barbarians in Wuling County, and won a small victory, preventing the Wuling barbarians from going north. The counter-insurgency situation is moving in a favorable direction, and the victory has become a predictable existence. As a result...

Sun Wu just knelt like this?

"I never expected that children Sun Quan and Zhou Yu would not be able to hold on for two months!"

Liu Biao slapped the table fiercely: "The big thing is not good now. Zhang Wenyuan marched into Jiangdong, and Jiangdong must be owned by Guo Zifeng. Now Sun Quan can only surrender Yuzhang County and Luling County. If these two counties can't be kept... "

"We will face the enemy on three sides."

Kuai Yue rolled his eyes and said, "Duke Ming, in the current situation, if we don't save Sun Quan, Sun Quan will definitely be defeated and Wu will surely perish."

"Is this something I can do if I want to? Can I save Sun Quan's child by sending troops?"

Liu Biao's face was full of bitterness: "It's not that I haven't experienced the troops under Guo Zifeng's command, and I have suffered losses! Water battles are fine, but once there is a field battle, then... what should I do! Let alone our army now The main force is going to conquer Zhang Xian, this..."
