"Your Highness of the King of Yan, although General Huang is extremely brave and has the ability to penetrate Yang a hundred steps, he is old and the vanguard is just a matter of charging into battle. If the enemy sees our army sending an old man to be the vanguard, he will definitely laugh out loud. Moreover, if General Huang is unfortunately injured, with General Huang's old body, he may not be able to recover soon. What's more, why not use a ox knife to kill a chicken? It is better to let General Huang be in the rear. We young generals charge into battle." Zhang He was unhappy when he saw Huang Zhong being the vanguard, so he hurriedly clasped his fists and said.

When Huang Zhong heard this, he immediately retorted: "Your Majesty King Yan, although I am old, I am strong and energetic. Lian Po doesn't bother to be old when I am seventy. I am only in my fifties, why is it old? Moreover, I am famous as Jingxiang and famous. The people of Jiangdong have long heard of my reputation. I am the pioneer. Whoever dares to laugh at me will make the person who jokes about me have no good end!"

When he spoke, he glanced at Zhang He inadvertently, his eyes full of resentment and anger.

Zhang He did not avoid Huang Zhong's gaze, and also glared at Huang Zhong fiercely, and even for an eye.

Huang Zhong hurriedly said: "If anyone thinks that my ability is not enough to be a pioneer, I am willing to accept the challenges of all generals!"

This speech was full of confidence, and everyone in the hall could hear it clearly. Huang Zhong's sharp eyes even glanced at every military general present, looking fierce.

Zhang He wanted to speak, but was taken first by Zhang Yan. He stood up and said loudly to everyone present: "Who is the vanguard this time is not my decision. It was God's decision. I asked you to draw lots. As a result, he was captured by General Huang, which means that this is God's will. God's will cannot be violated. Since General Huang has made General Huang the vanguard, then this means that General Huang has this ability. I don't want to say more about the others. The candidate for this vanguard is General Huang."

As soon as the words were finished, the people present stopped talking. Zhang Yan's words were orders, and what Zhang Yan said was also right. He was the pioneer of the decision to draw lots just now. Huang Zhong drew it. This was God's will and he could not blame others.

"Huang Zhong obeys the order!" Zhang Yan suddenly said sternly.

"The last one is here!" Huang Zhong immediately walked to the center of the hall, knelt on the ground, and replied with his fists, "What are your instructions?"

"I ordered you to lead your 70,000 naval army to set off tomorrow at the third update and go straight to Nanchang. If you can conquer Nanchang, you will be the first to achieve success!" Zhang Yan finished speaking and threw a token to Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong reached out to catch the token and said happily: "The last general will receive the order!"

"You go and prepare first!" Zhang Yan said.

Huang Zhong received the order and left the hall happily. When he was about to go out, he still glanced at Zhang He. His eyes were filled with pride.

After Huang Zhong left, Zhang Yan continued to instruct: "The other generals, each of them will return to their camps, and let's prepare first. At the end of the day, the army set out and headed to Nanchang by land, and..."

Before Zhang Yan could finish his words, Zhang He interrupted him and asked directly: "Your Highness, why should you wait for the post-genius to go on the battle? As the saying goes, soldiers are more important than speed, so you should send troops as soon as possible. Just take advantage of this moment and give the enemy a thunderous blow with lightning speed."

Zhang Yan said: "General Zhang, your advice is good, but I want to take every step of the way this time. In fact, Huang Zhong's naval army is just bait, and our cavalry and infantry are the main force of this battle. I asked Huang Zhong to lead 70,000 naval troops to attack Nanchang from the water, Nanchang is the place where Sun Quan is. If the enemy learned that Huang Zhong's attack target was Nanchang, they would definitely find ways to send troops to organize Huang Zhong's naval army to move forward. Jiangdong has limited troops, and the generals who can go to battle and kill the enemy are even more limited. If most of the troops are attracted by the navy, then our troops on the shore will be easier to advance."

As soon as Zhang Yan finished speaking, Zhang He and the other generals suddenly became enlightened. It turned out that Huang Zhong was nominally a pioneer, but in fact he was just a bait. In this way, many generals were much more balanced.

Zhang Yan continued: "In addition, I have sent someone to notify General Zhao Yun of the Cavalry in Jinling that he will launch an attack on Jiangdong with us the day after tomorrow. At that time, our three armies will attack together, and with a blow to the point of being depressed, we will definitely destroy the enemy in one fell swoop."

After hearing Zhang Yan's words, the generals seemed to see the orange-red flag floating on Nanchang City, and said in unison: "Long live Your Highness, King Yan!"

The word "Longsui" was not exclusive to the emperor in this era. Even in the later Sui Dynasty, the word "Longsui" was definitely not exclusive to the emperor, because during the Sui Dynasty, there was a general named Shi Wansui. If the word "Longsui" was unique to the emperor, then Shi Wansui could only admit that he was unlucky and would be beheaded.

Therefore, when all the civil and military people shouted long live together, it was just a celebration.

Zhang Yan saw that the hall was full of talents, and this time he defeated the Jiangdong Navy and killed Zhou Yu, and after everyone congratulated him, it seemed that Jiangdong was right in front of him.

...

In Nanchang City, the news that Zhou Yu was killed and the entire naval army was wiped out had already reached Sun Quan's ears. When Sun Quan heard about it, he was shocked. He never expected that Zhou Yu, who was the mainstay of Jiangdong, would be defeated so easily.

In addition, there was a lot of rumors in the entire Nanchang city, saying that the King of Yan led an army of 800,000 to the south. Zhou Yu, the commander of Jiangdong, fought with him, and was vulnerable. Once the battle was fought, it collapsed everywhere and was surrounded by the Han army. As a result, the entire army was wiped out. Shortly after Zhou Yu was captured, he was asked to beheaded. Until now, Zhou Yu's head was still hung on the head of the city of Chaisang City to show punishment.

As the saying goes, blessings are unparalleled, but misfortunes never come alone. Zhou Yu was killed and the entire navy was wiped out in Nanchang City. Then Huang Zhong led 70,000 navy troops to threaten to conquer Nanchang, and the news that Sun Quan's head was used as a stool also spread.

For a time, the waves were not settled, and the rumors spread in Nanchang City, and the hearts of the military and civilians were shocked by the strength of the Han army. Many people with foresight think that Nanchang will inevitably become a new battlefield. In order to avoid the war, they cleaned up their family's salutes in advance, and fled Nanchang City with their wives, children, parents, and clans.

In the government office in Nanchang City, Sun Quan sat in the hall, holding an urgent report in his hand. He had not yet walked out of the bad news that Zhou Yu and the navy were wiped out. He had always had a gloomy face, but when he finished reading the urgent report in his hand, his brows frowned even tighter, sighed heavily, and said, "Is it that God will destroy my Jiangdong?"

Speaking of this sentence, Sun Quan put down the urgent report in his hand and said to Lu Fan sitting beside him: "The scout came to report that the 70,000 naval army led by Huang Zhong has entered Penglize and will soon be able to go straight to the city of Nanchang along the waterway. This time, Huang Zhong is coming with great force, and our Nanchang city is limited. If his troops are at the city, it is estimated that we will find it difficult for us to resist the enemy's troops."

After hearing this, Lu Fan immediately said, "Lord, if our army is under the enemy's army, once the enemy surrounds Nanchang City, they will distribute troops to guard the important roads. Even if the troops scattered outside want to come back to rescue, they will not be able to come. Moreover, these 70,000 naval troops are just the vanguard of the enemy's army. Zhang Yan's main army did not take any action. His subordinates thought that Zhang Yan must have wanted Huang Zhong to test the aura of our army and then do the next move. Instead of seizing troops to defend, it is better to concentrate in a city and trap them. His subordinates are heading to the Shanyue tribe and lobbying the Shanyue people to help our army fight against the enemy together. In this way, as long as our army guards a city, we can deal with the enemy for a long time."

Sun Quan said: "Then if we do this, won't we have to stay trapped?"

"Even the elite navy as the Grand Commander was defeated, lost the natural danger of the Yangtze River, and opened the door by the enemy. The enemy's cavalry and infantry are all elite soldiers and generals. Once we launch a general attack, even if we want to defend, we cannot defend. Instead of being defeated by the enemy, it is better to shrink all our troops in Nanchang City and accumulate food and grass. With the strength of Nanchang City, if there is enough food and grass, there should be no problem to defend for two years. Moreover, we have an important partner of Shanyue, as long as we use it.

If you are right, you can engage in a long-term deal with the enemy, thus dragging the enemy into the quagmire of war and causing it to sink deeper and deeper. Moreover, Jiangdong has been for many years, and the enemy's cavalry units are useless at all. However, if you fight with infantry, as long as there are Shanyue people, they may not be the opponent. We are inside and Shanyue people are outside, as long as we wait for an opportunity to move, once we get the opportunity, we will cooperate inside and outside and attack front and back, which is not impossible to defeat the enemy." Lu Fan said.

"What is the difference between being trapped in such a trap and a turtle? Instead of being trapped in and waiting to die, it is better to fight the enemy with real swords and guns. Even if you die in battle, it will be heroic!" Suddenly, a voice screamed, and it was Cheng Pu, a veteran who was sitting there without saying a word.

Cheng Pu and Huang Gai were stationed in Poyang County to defend Zhao Yun's invasion. Cheng Pu happened to come back to report his duties in the past two days. Who knew that he had encountered the news that the navy army led by the Grand Governor Zhou Yu was wiped out, and naturally felt sad in his heart.

"General Cheng is brave, but he is brave, but it's a pity that he is not smart enough. The enemy hopes that we will fight them like this. In this way, the enemy will definitely sweep our army and siege Jiangdong. What is the difference between this move and the behavior of an ordinary man?" Lu Fan said.

When Cheng Pu heard Lu Fan say this, he immediately said angrily: "What did you say? You actually said that I am a normal man?"

"What? Are you not? An old man!" said Lu Fan.

Cheng Pu furiously said, "Lu Ziheng, I am..."

Before Cheng Pu could finish his words, he heard Lu Fan interrupt Cheng Pu and said, "It's coming again! I always rely on my seniority, what's the point? A hero doesn't mention his courage back then. The things that happened back then were the things that happened back then. Now it's now. The most urgent thing is how to protect yourself, not to show off your courage there!"

"you--"

"What, am I wrong? The courage of a man is just to die. If everyone was like the old general, then Jiangdong would have been dead long ago."

"Okay, you all say less, you are all my humerus, and none of them are missing. Ziheng, if you think this is really feasible, just sit down. Gongjin is gone, you are the Grand Governor. I will give you this sword. Seeing the sword is like seeing me. If anyone dares to disobey, military law will be carried out!" Sun Quan was too lazy to listen to their quarrel. When was it, and he was still quarreling, and he couldn't help it anymore, so he started to speak loudly.
