Chapter 253 Famous Generals of Jingchu
Because Fancheng was an important city on the front line, Liu Biao appointed a prefect to handle political affairs and a Zhonglang general to handle military affairs.
This is of course done to make Fancheng's defense more prominent.
The prefect of Fancheng is called Wu Feng, and he is a descendant of an ordinary gentry from Jingchu.[
This Zhonglang general is called Chu Xiong. He used to be a brave and skilled general and a famous general in Jingchu. However, in the past few years, as Liu Biao gradually became weaker, Chu Xiong also began to slack off in military affairs.
There is a saying that says that the decay of an army must start from scratch.
It was Chu Xiong who first started to slack off in military affairs, which then caused his soldiers to slack off as well.
In the north, Cao Cao was at war with Yuan Shao. Hundreds of thousands of troops gathered in Guandu for a life-and-death battle. Cao Cao had no energy left to go south. If Sun Ce from the east wanted to attack Jingchu, he couldn't fly over and attack Fancheng first.
It must pass through Jiangxia and Changsha.
If they reach Fancheng, it will be time for Jingchu and Xiangyang to be captured. If that day comes, Liu Biao's power will be finished, and Fancheng will of course not need to be defended.
With this in mind, Chu Xiong was basically in a state of leisure every day, occasionally enjoying himself with Wu Feng.
At this moment, in the hall of the Prefect's Mansion.
Wu Feng sat in the first place, and Chu Xiong sat in the side seat. The two gathered some important officials in Fan City for a banquet.
In addition to these important figures in Fancheng, there is also a group of graceful and good-looking singers dancing in the hall.
Whether it was Wu Feng, Chu Xiong, or all the officials in Fan City, they all felt a little drunk.
"The world is in chaos, but Liu Jingzhou is sitting in Jingzhou, intimidating all directions. The surrounding Xiao Xiaoxiao dare not take a step forward. This has caused Fancheng to be located on the front line, but there has been no war for many years. As the guard of Fancheng, I feel that my body is almost rusty.
, If circumstances permit, I would rather follow Huang Zu, the governor of Jiangxia, and fight with the Sun family together with him." Chu Xiong said through the hazy drunkenness.
These words sound helpless, but in fact they are filled with complacency. As long as Liu Jingzhou agrees, I will dare to send troops eastward to fight the powerful Sun family.
"General Chu was really born at the wrong time. If he had been able to lead the troops to fight against Sun Jian in the early years, the meritorious service of killing Sun Jian might have fallen into the hands of the general."
Chu Xiong's status was very high, and some officials praised him without saying a word.
"This happened more than ten years ago. It's useless to say anything. I just hope that suddenly someone will come to Fancheng and let the long sword around my waist come out of my body, stain it with blood, and kill people."
.”
Chu Xiong touched the long sword on his waist and said with anticipation.
"Alas, the general's ambitions must never have a chance to be realized. Liu Jingzhou's prestige is too high. How dare the small men around him attack such an important city as Fancheng."
An official sighed, regretting that Chu Xiong was born at the wrong time.[
"Perhaps there is some blind and stupid thief who doesn't know how powerful Jingzhou is. Looking at such a good city like Fancheng, his forehead gets hot and he stupidly rushes forward. By then, General Chu will be able to lift the three-foot green sword.
It's so refreshing to lead the troops to slaughter stupid thieves."
At this time, Wu Feng smiled slightly and said.
"Hahaha, thank you, Lord Prefect, for your kind words." Chu Xiong said with great joy after hearing this.
