Zhou Lang Zhou Lang

"Gongjin should be in Jichun at this time, right?"

There is still a crushing war going on on the river, with the advantage of the trebuchet in the front and Gan Ning's bravery in the back. Marching on the water is like using arms and fingers. Ten small boats advance and retreat, split and rejoin, as fast as lightning, rushing to kill the Jichun army on all sides. , without any surprise, beat Chen Ke so hard that he couldn't lift his head.From the top of the city, you can see it very clearly.

Cheng Puzheng was in a daze, when he heard her question, he nodded his head and replied: "It is true that going to Jichun by land is farther than water, but it is not affected by the direction of the wind. If there is no accident, Mr. Quan will receive the good news of Jichun tonight." .”

Ji Chun had a total of more than [-] soldiers and horses. This time, Chen Ke brought out [-] at once, so there were naturally not enough people to defend.Once Zhou Yu captured Jichun, these dozens of trebuchets would be transported along the waterway immediately to help him advance all the way, and the soldiers pointed at Xiling in Jiangxiazhi County with a high city and thick walls.

There was no joy in hearing this old general's voice, Li Mu raised his eyebrows, and pointed towards the city: "Will the old general capture Chen Ke for me, and make Jiang Xia's first contribution?"

Cheng Pu was stunned for a moment, his eyes glanced at Gan Ning who was fighting on the river, he couldn't help hesitating: "This..."

Gan Ning fought to this point, if he went out again, wouldn't it be suspected of cutting off his merits?

Although he was dissatisfied with Sun Ce's re-use of Zhou Yu and young generals like Lu Meng to lead the army, he also didn't like Gan Ning, a Jinfan bandit who was congenial and apparently very speculative with Zhou Yu. He still couldn't do it.

Li Mu knew that the Jinfan thief would not be convinced, but Zhou Yu deliberately proposed that Ling Cao lead the army to send Sun Shao Fuling back to Wu, and leave Cheng Pu. Naturally, he would not invite this veteran Only as her personal bodyguard.

"If the old general doesn't take action, how will General Gan cross the river north and send the trebuchet to Gongjin before the news of our trebuchet reaches Huang Zu's ears?"

Li Mu smiled slightly.She still doesn't know much about the factions in the army, but since Zhou Yu is promised to be Sun Quan, even if it is a profession, she must always be dedicated.Judging from Cheng Pu's attitude of scolding Zhou Yu without saying a word in front of Sun Ce's spiritual position, it is impossible for these two people to have a good relationship on weekdays.Thinking about it further, one is a representative of a veteran in the army, and the other is a teenager who became famous, and it is normal for the old and the new to alternate.

That Jiang Xia's credit is all attributed to Zhou Yu alone, which will inevitably arouse the resentment of the veterans in the army.This is not a good thing for Zhou Yu or Li Mu.

What's more, she continued to pretend to be Sun Quan, and blatantly competed with Zhou Yu for power, so that Sun Shaoneng was in a position of balance between the two in the eyes of outsiders, but in fact, he was advancing and retreating.

In front of Liu Bei, she defended Zhou Yu too much, and she just used this opportunity to quietly start laying the groundwork for her "discord" with Zhou Yu in the future.

Cheng Pu has been a soldier for half his life, and he is not a reckless general who only knows how to conquer on the battlefield. He hesitated for a moment when he heard the words, and he could already hear the meaning behind Li Mu's words.Now what Li Mu said was a military order, under the military order, he didn't have time to think about it, he cupped his fists and bowed slightly to her, and promised in a sharp voice: "The last general takes orders."

The winter of this year seemed to be extremely long. Zhou Yu broke through Jichun first, and then returned to the army to attack Gan Ning back and forth with suspicion.When the willow branches sprouted the first buds by the water, Gan Ning went upstream along the river to attack Sha Xian, forming horns with Zhou Yu.So far, half of Jiangxia's county has been captured, and the soldiers are pointing directly at Xiling, the governing office.

Just as Li Mu boarded the two-story boat and headed for Jichun again, Liu Bei bypassed Yuan Shu, marched into Xiapi, beheaded Xuzhou's governor Che Zhou, and assumed the post of prefect, and the news of recruiting troops was reported to her by the scouts. .

The governor of Xuzhou, Che Zhou, was appointed by Cao Cao after Sun Ce withdrew from Xiapi and handed over Xuzhou to Cao Cao.Liu Bei was beheaded directly, and his intention to betray Cao was clearly revealed.

Standing by the river, Li Mu looked at the dusty scout and asked, "What is Gong Jin's plan?"

Zhou Yu saw the impending melee between Yuan Shu, Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and suggested that it is not appropriate to intervene at this time.If Cao Cao wanted to fight quickly, he would not take the risk of engaging them.Ignoring it is the best way to deal with it.

The scout relayed Zhou Yu's meaning, and Li Mu thought about it, then nodded.

What she was thinking about was the Guandu battle between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

Cao Cao wants to attack Xuzhou, and also wants to attack Yuan Shu. She must not send troops to help Yuan Shu, so when he fights Liu Bei, shouldn't she help this unparalleled uncle of the Han Emperor?

Take it as a thank you for coming to pay homage to Sun Ce.Even if the two families of Sun and Liu work together, even if they can't defeat Cao Cao, as long as he is held back, with Yuan Shao behind him, how can Cao Cao be in a hurry?When Cao Cao was in a hurry, she naturally had another chance to negotiate another deal.

This half of Xuzhou was originally bought by Cao Cao in exchange for the position of prefect from Sun Ce.In this era, titles can be inherited, but official positions cannot be passed down from generation to generation.It is obviously impossible for the prefect position to fall on Sun Shao's head naturally following the death of Sun Ce.In other words, not to mention what happened to Wu Jun, if they attack Jiang Xia now, it can only be said that it is a personal enmity, not an imperial edict.

Li Mu felt that he was at a loss because he hadn't received the corresponding benefits for this nominal lack.Just about to think of a way to remind Cao Cao if he wanted to give some compensation, unexpectedly Liu Bei offered to do them such a big favor.

Letting Sun Shao, a six-year-old child, be the prefect of Jiangxia and Wujun is indeed a bit too much. I don't know what better sincerity Cao Cao can show.

Smiling slightly, she suddenly realized that digging holes for people is actually a very interesting thing - no wonder Zhou Yu never tires of it.

When Zhou Yu's troops approached the city of Xiling, he immediately started a day and night siege battle, and he was bound to break through Xiling before Liu Biao's reinforcements arrived.

Rows of gigantic trebuchets threw flakes of flying stones amidst bursts of roar, and they hit the six watchtowers on the city wall of Xiling with incomparable accuracy.

The flying stones falling from the sky are wrapped in an unstoppable force, and the roar when breaking through the air is like the brave shout of a siege striker.After only two rounds, four of the six watchtowers collapsed, and the remaining two were half-shattered by flying stones, crumbling.There were even a few pieces of flying stones that hit the wall stack of the city wall, and the broken stones burst, knocking off a corner of the wall stack. The guards on the city wall either covered their heads to avoid the flying stones, or were pressed by the collapsed watchtower, or Injured by gravel, screaming and screaming, running around, showing no fighting spirit.

The general guarding the city shouted angrily and killed several people in a row before stopping the soldiers fleeing down the city wall like a tide. However, some soldiers were frightened by the flying stones falling from the sky. jump off.

All of a sudden, the battle flag on the city wall of Xiling was broken, and there was chaos.

On the other hand, urgent reports from Xiangyang were placed in front of Li Mu's case one after another.

"Read!" Li Mu threw the latest military report to the secretary of the army, flicked his sleeves, his eyes still stayed on the military case, and put together the woodcarving model of Xiling City based on the latest report before the battle. Half of the watchtowers were demolished.

"Xiangyang has a letter and ordered Zhang Xian, the prefect of Changsha, to send troops to break the siege of Jiangxia."

"Changsha prefect?" Li Mu's gaze finally moved away from the wood carving, and his thoughts shifted from how to find out the force point of the city wall to the military report.

The name of Zhang Xian, the prefect of Changsha, was mentioned once by Zhou Yu.It's just that it wasn't because of the military battle that time, but because she took it for granted that the famous doctor Zhang Zhongjing was mistaken as the prefect of Changsha...

Li Mu's eyes lit up, and he buckled the half-cut wooden watchtower on the military case.

Zhang Xian is Zhang Zhongjing's elder brother, and I don't know if Zhang Zhongjing goes to persuade him to surrender, can this Jiangxia's rescue army be used as Huang Zu's reminder?

As for whether Zhang Zhongjing would be willing to be the lobbyist, Li Mu was not worried at all.

At the same time, Zhang Zhongjing, a well-known contemporary doctor, has a completely different attitude from Hua Tuo.The latter is dedicated to the medical profession and has never been involved in any military affairs. Even Zu Lang, who was a mountain bandit in the past, came to seek medical treatment, and he was able to heal him with all his heart.But Zhang Zhongjing reminded Sun Shao not to reveal the saying that "brother ends up with brother", and reminded her that Zuo Ci would use the destiny to shake the morale of the army.With such knowledge and such a reaction, how could it be possible to sit back and watch his brother fight with Zhou Yu and ignore it?

It's just that Zhang Xian was the prefect of Changsha, and even Sun Ce only had one more marquis of Wu Chenghou than him. , nominally only came here to diagnose Sun Quan's illness, it was not Wu's job at all, and he had absolutely no obligation to persuade her clan brothers to abandon their high-ranking officials and rich salaries and turn against each other.

The bamboo slips conveying the military report turned around at his fingertips, Li Mu frowned slightly, and truly lamented Cao Cao's brilliance in coercing the emperor to make the princes.

At least there are a lot of official positions, which can be sealed at will.

However, she did not expect that Zhang Zhongjing came to the door by himself.

"Ji, a brother of the family, is compassionate and strong-willed. He is not afraid of being alone, so he is at odds with Liu Biao. He will never follow Liu Biao's order to abandon Changsha and send troops to Jiangxia."

Li Mu was puzzled, but Zhang Zhongjing didn't go into details, but respectfully asked Li Mu to stretch out his hand to feel her pulse, as if he really just wanted to see if her body was alright after a winter.

As if to confirm his words, not only did Changsha's soldiers and horses remain unmoved, but even the neighboring counties of Guiyang, Lingling, and Wuling seemed to have not seen Liu Biao's order to dispatch troops.

When the willow branches were all green and the wind was warm, the city of Xiling was broken. Huang Zu escaped from the north gate, and was caught in Zhou Yu's ambush, and died under the arrows. The door fled to Xiangyang.

The birds are flying around, the vegetation is lush, it is spring.Zhou Yu stood at the gate of Xiling, dressed in fine armor, with a straight figure, and behind him were a group of soldiers who followed him to fight all the way, lined up behind him like iron and bronze, furious armored spears, bloody and brave, unexpectedly This soft and warm spring day also forced out a bit of arrogance.

Li Mu got off the boat at the ferry and changed horses. He and Cheng Pu galloped ahead with a light cavalry, and they saw Zhou Yu from afar.
