Liu Jing had just returned to Wuchang and got news that Chaisang had lost. At this time, Wei Yan had found out the reason. The Jiangdong Army had impersonated **** and surrendered. Because of the implementation of a strong wall and clearing the fields, the Jiangdong Army took advantage of loopholes and mistakenly pretended to be a fake.

*Introduced into the city, the Jiangdong army should cooperate with each other and lead to the loss of the Water Gate.

In addition, Wei Yan also admitted that he was drinking and misunderstood and asked for heavy punishment. In anger, Liu Jing dismissed Wei Yan's position as the captain of the school and demoted him to Sima of another department, and ordered him to make meritorious contributions to Xiazhi County. If Xiazhi County is in trouble,

He was decapitated and punished.

Despite this, Liu Jing was still extremely worried about the safety of Xiazhi County. He was especially worried about the leak of the oil refining secrets. He immediately ordered Li Jun to lead two thousand naval troops to Xiazhi County to support Wei Yan, and also informed the Xiazhi County garrison with a flying pigeon.

If the Jiangdong Army had the intention to attack Xiazhi County, they could set fire to the refining station first.

In the lobby, Liu Jing paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, looking angry and worried. At this time, less than half an hour before he returned to Wuchang, he heard such serious news. On the one hand, it was indeed their implementation of ****.

There was a loophole in the solution. On the other hand, Wei Yan's drinking and mistakes made him very angry.

Before and after the Battle of Chibi, the self-confidence of Wei Yan showed made Liu Jing very dissatisfied, so he demoted him to guard Chaisang. However, he did not expect that Wei Yan's emotions were hit and he drown his sorrows with alcohol, which led to Chaisang's fall.

But at this time, Liu Jing was even more worried about Xiazhi County. Once the Jiangdong army discovered the method of turtle oil purification and obtained the turtle oil, the consequences were unimaginable. Cao Cao was not very worried about obtaining turtle oil. After all, Cao Cao's navy was weak, but he could be the same water.

If the powerful Jiangdong Army gets tincture, it will undoubtedly be like a tiger and will cause irreparable consequences.

At this time, Jia Xu's voice came from outside the hall, "Are the Zhou Mu still annoyed by the fall of Chaisang?"

Liu Jing did not look back. He looked at the roof with his hands behind his back and sighed, "It was my fault for employing people. Putting Wei Yan in Chaisang is actually my responsibility."

Jia Xu walked up to the hall and said with a smile: "When Wei Yan was sent to Chaisang, the signs of Jiangdong turning against each other have not yet come out. It was the best relationship between the two sides. In fact, we can't blame the governor of the state, we can only say that there are unexpected situations in the world.

.”

Liu Jing still shook his head, "There are actually many lessons in the fall of Chaisang this time. If I can't learn it and I'll make excuses for myself, then something will happen in the future, like a bandit, which is a profound lesson!

Bandits, so-called village people, and brigades of merchants, may be mixed into the city by the enemy. If we implement internal and external cooperation, we must set a defense system."

Jia Xu also agreed with Liu Jing's idea, "When it comes to the system, I have been considering it these two days. In fact, we cannot break off businessman relationships, but we can set a level, such as Class A means war, Class B means preparation, and Class C

It means peace and implement different vigilance measures in different periods. In the future, we may not be able to take care of more cities, but as long as we implement hierarchy, the cities on the front line will naturally know what to do.”

"The military advisor said it very well. I'm asking the hierarchy to formulate this hierarchy."

Speaking of this, Liu Jing sighed again: "Let's talk about what's happening in front of you! How should we deal with the fall of Chaisang? "

Jia Xu smiled slightly, "In fact, Xu Sheng violated the military taboo. Before the main force arrived, the vanguard acted rashly. Then the solution was very simple. Since the Jiangdong Army occupied Chaisang, we will occupy Qichun County and take Qichun County.

All the population moved to Jiangxia, and Pengze must be empty, so he sent a navy army to directly enter Pengze, destroy their water camp, and let Xu Sheng reap the consequences."

Liu Jing nodded slowly, "The military advisor is indeed brilliant!"

.........

Just as Liu Jing was worried, after Xu Sheng occupied Chaisang, he immediately ordered Ding Feng to lead 3,000 troops to Xiazhi County by fast ship, striving to seize this extremely important strategic county, which is also an important handed over to him by Sun Quan.

Mission, cracking the method of Jiangxia Army to extract tincture oil.

Xu Sheng also knew that the tincture oil sold to them by Jiangxia army was a very viscous black liquid with weak combustion power and was far from comparable to the tincture oil used by Jiangxia army. The secret here was hidden in Xiazhi County.

Xu Sheng sent people to Xiazhi County several times to investigate the secrets of tincture oil, but he returned in vain. He could not let go of this opportunity.

The three thousand Jiangdong Army took more than 200 speedboats, led by Ding Feng, and went west overnight. At the same time, Wei Yan also led two thousand defeated soldiers to run from land to Xiazhi County.

Wei Yan, the defeated general of Chaisang, was completely awakened. The dissatisfaction and pride that he had accumulated in his heart were gone at this time, leaving only endless shame and self-blame. He had only one thought in his heart, and he had to save it no matter what.

Xiazhi County.

Xiazhi County is the production area of ​​Jiangxia tincture oil. It can be said that it is the most important strategic city in Jingzhou, with one thousand garrisons.

Since the oil refining secret was investigated by Cao's army last year, Xiazhi County's defense has been greatly adjusted. First, all residents in the city were moved to Yangxin County and no civilians were allowed to enter the oil refining center.

The second is to add the number of troops, from 500 to 1,000, and Xiazhi County was built into a military city.

The head general who guarded Xiazhi County was a tooth general named Lu Jin, who was also the first veteran to follow Liu Jing, and was promoted from a senior to a tooth general step by step.

At this time, the beacon tower at the mouth of the Fushui River had been lit, and an alarm was heard for the enemy's large-scale invasion. At the same time, Lu Jin also obtained the pigeon letter sent by the Jiangxia army from the Chaisang when the fall of Chaisang, which made him extremely nervous.

He knew very well that after the Jiangdong army captured Chaisang, they would inevitably attack Xiazhi County.

He immediately sent more than 30 scouts to inquire about the enemy's situation by water and land.

As night fell, Lu Jin stood on the top of the city, waiting for news of the scouts uneasily. At the normal march speed, whether it was the defeated army of Chaisang or the Jiangdong army, they should have arrived in Xiazhi County at this time.

Just now, Lu Jin received an emergency pigeon letter from the Zhou Mu, ordering him to burn the refining station immediately once he discovered the enemy situation and send all the soldiers with confidentiality to Yangxin County.

Lu Jin was ready to burn the refining station. Now he needed to know the situation of the enemy. Suddenly, a rapid sound of horse hooves came from a distance. Soon, a scout came on a horse under the moonlight.

Lu Jin suddenly became nervous. He knew that the scout must have brought news. After a moment, the scout rushed to the city. He also saw the chief general and shouted: "Report to General Lu, the enemy's clutch was found at the mouth of Fushui River.

There are hundreds of ships that have entered Fushui and are heading towards Xiazhi County.”

Lu Jin's heart suddenly became hung. Jiangdong army was indeed here. It seemed that he had to burn the refining workshop immediately. He turned around and was about to leave. At this time, the soldiers next to him suddenly shouted, "General, an army is here!"

Lu Jin suddenly jumped in his heart, turned around and looked out of the city. Under the silver moonlight, an army was marching rapidly along the other side of Fushui toward the county town. However, the distance was a little far, and the flag of this army could not be seen clearly.

.

Lu Jin hurriedly said to the scout under the city: "Go and investigate quickly!"

The scout turned his horse's head and ran away, and soon came back to report: "Report to General, it is our army. He retreated from Chaisang. The general is General Wei Yan!"

Lu Jin was relieved. Wei Yan's arrival undoubtedly gave him a reassurance. He quickly ordered: "Build a floating bridge with a city!"

Xiazhi County gate opened, and the soldiers quickly built a floating bridge on the river to guide the Jiangxia army across the river. Although the Jiangxia army was very tired after running one day and one night, dozens of war horses kept sniffing and spraying heavily.

.

But these Jiangxia soldiers had more cowardly and angry expressions on their faces. Without striving to resist, they easily threw away Chaisang, making all the soldiers unwilling to accept it.

Wei Yan was anxious. When he saw Lu Jin running, he immediately asked, "General Lu, is there any news about Jiangdong Army?"

Lu Jin quickly bowed and said, "Just just got the scout information, hundreds of warships from the Jiangdong Army entered the mouth of the Fushui River and were coming here. They would kill to the county town in at most two hours."

Wei Yan was about to ask again, but when he saw Lu Jin wanting to say something, he seemed to have something to say, so he suppressed his thoughts and asked, "What else do you have to say?"

"Report to the general, Bei Yi has just received the order from the provincial governor. Once the enemy is found, he asked to burn the refining center immediately. Now the enemy situation has already appeared. Please ask General Wei to instruct whether Bei Yi will implement the order from the provincial governor."

Wei Yan hesitated for a moment. If it were in the past, he would have his own ideas, but now Chaisang is defeated, he dare not have too many distractions. What's more, Zhixian County is directly under Wuchang and is not under his jurisdiction. If he exceeds the authority and resists.

The order will inevitably anger Liu Jing and will be severely punished.

Wei Yan had no choice but to sigh and said, "Although I think the refining station should be burned until the last moment, the military orders are as high as a mountain. We cannot violate the orders of the provincial governor, so we can implement them!"

"Abide by the orders!"

Lu Jin immediately ordered his men, "Light the fire and burn the oil refining station!"

Several subordinates ran away, but Wei Yan had no time to rest. The Jiangdong army was two hours away from Xiazhi County. He had to defeat the Jiangdong army and relieve his sins. He thought about it all the way and had a plan in his mind.

Wei Yan asked again: "How much tincture oil is still in stock in the city?"

"Report to the general. There are more than 1,300 barrels of refined tincture oil, which have not been transported away yet."

Wei Yan whispered to him with his ears, and Lu Jin looked embarrassed, "This... I'm afraid that I don't have the right to use so much tincture."

Wei Yan glared at his eyes, "Why can't you use it? If you don't use it, more brothers will die. In the end, the turmeric oil will also fall into the hands of the Jiangdong Army. Now you must listen to my order!"

Jiangxia's military rules are very strict. Although Wei Yan's command over power may be punished, as a subordinate Lu Jin must obey Wei Yan's orders. Lu Jin had no choice but to bow and said, "Abide by the order!"

Lu Jin immediately ordered the defenders to dump all the more than a thousand barrels of turmeric oil in the warehouse into the rich water, forming a thick layer of oil on the rich water, and drifting downstream along the river. At this time, the city's oil refining station was also

When it was lit, the fire rose into the sky, the flames soared into the sky, and the black smoke was rolling, visible dozens of miles away.

.........

It takes about fifty miles from Fushui River to Xiazhi County. It takes about two hours for ordinary ships, but the Jiangdong Army rowed a sixteen-oared fast ship, which was very fast. It was a scout who discovered the enemy situation and came back to report it. It had passed.

It took half an hour.

At this time, Ding Feng had led his army to march nearly thirty miles, with only more than twenty miles left from Xiazhi County. Ding Feng had also heard about the past. Han Dang encountered it on the way to attack Xiazhi and Yangxin County.

The Jiangxia army ambushed and almost wiped out the entire army.

So Ding Feng was extremely careful and sent scouts to the front for inquiries. He knew very well that Xiazhi County was the most important tincture oil production site of the Jiangxia Army, and there must be heavy troops stationed.

There were hundreds of soldiers exploring the way forward on both sides of the river, while the ships were rowing in the rich water, loaded with more than 2,000 Jiangdong soldiers. Ding Feng sat on the bow of the boat with an iron spear in his hand, watching nervously at the situation on both sides of the river.

It was particularly quiet at night, and soldiers kept coming from news, "No ambush!"
Chapter completed!
