Chapter 90 The Eve of the Great War

South County!

The Feilong Army has been training in Nanjun since the war with Nanyang Zhangxiu. The Feilong Army has the same 20,000 people as the Feihu Guards, of which 2,000 Feilong Guards are cavalry.

As one of the two major generals in Jingzhou, Wenpin's prestige in Jingzhou is unmatched by anyone. Even Wang Wei of the Flying Tiger Guard is slightly lower than him. In recent years, the Flying Tiger Guard has been hiding in Xiangyang and has not been deployed easily, while the Feilong Army

However, the southern and northern wars never stopped, which made Wenpin, who was originally evenly matched with Wang Wei, more and more prestigious. As a result, the Feilong Army slightly surpassed the Feihu Army, and the name of the Feilong Army's killing spree spread throughout Jingxiang.

.

Unlike Wang Wei's bravery, Wenpin is famous for his caution, but caution does not mean defense. Wenpin, the leader of the Feilong Army, is cautious in character but also has extraordinary strategies. He can often defeat his opponent in one battle, leaving the enemy with no ability to fight back.

Therefore, Wenpin has a cautious character but has a murderous spirit. Jiang Dong and Zhang Xiu have to be careful when encountering Wenpin.

Wenpin's love of reading made him exude elegance. If he had put on a Confucian robe, others might have thought he was a famous scholar.

In the large tent of the Chinese army, Wenpin was reading a book with his head down. A general was standing there in front of him. Wenpin put down the emergency report in his hand and said to the general: "Send the order for the entire army to assemble immediately."

The young general bowed in agreement, and then ran out. Soon the sound of drums spread throughout the camp, and the sound of messy footsteps sounded. With only a dozen breaths, the 20,000 flying dragon army had already assembled on the school ground, and Wenpin was already dead.

Wen Pin appeared on the school grounds wearing armor. Without a word, Wen Pin waved his hand and 20,000 troops headed towards Jiangxia.

Contrary to the Flying Tiger Army, the Feilong Army's armor is all black except for a piece of armor on the shoulders that is white, with a flying dragon flying above it. This is also an example of the tit-for-tat confrontation between the Flying Tiger Army and the Feilong Army. Liu Biao, Wang Wei, Wenpin

The three did not stop it but cleverly continued this competition.

The deputy general came to Wenpin and asked: "General, where are you going this time?"

Wenpin said succinctly: "Jiangxia."

The lieutenant general was surprised and asked: "Did Jiangdong's army attack Jiangxia again?" Jiangdong has not attacked Jiangxia for a long time. At most, it was a tentative attack. In the past few months, the situation in the north has become tense, and Jiangdong has not even experienced riots.

Even Zhang Xiu has been staying quietly in Nanyang.

Wenpin nodded and said: "It is a large-scale attack on Jingzhou, but it is not an attack on Jiangxia but on Changsha."

The deputy general asked doubtfully: "Then why are the Feilong Army going to Jiangxia? Is it to guard against Jiangdong? Then who will go to Changsha? It won't be the Feihu Guards, right?"

After answering several questions, Wenpin did not get bored but explained: "The Feilong Army went to Jiangxia to rescue a person. Changsha has its own general who is guarding the south, so don't worry."

"Save people? Save who?" The deputy general was a little confused.

Wenpin pondered for a while and said: "General Zhengnan."

The deputy general murmured: "General Zhengnan." The deputy general raised his head and looked at Wen Pin in surprise: "It's the eldest son!"

Wenpin nodded and handed the emergency report in his arms to the deputy general. The deputy general took the emergency report and quickly read it.

The young master can also do such happy things." His face was full of excitement, especially when he saw the eldest young master killing Sun He in Poyang County and defeating Jiangdong's 5,000-strong army. He had long wanted to attack Jiangdong in recent years, but he had always wanted to do so.

There was no chance, but now he was excited to see the eldest son attacking Jiangdong.

Wenpin glanced at the excited deputy general and smiled without saying anything.

The deputy general looked at Wen Pin and said: "It takes a day to get to Jiangxia from here and the eldest son doesn't know where he is yet. Why don't we let the junior general lead the cavalry to find out the news first."

Wenpin naturally knew what the deputy general was thinking, but what the deputy general said made sense when he ordered: "You have to inquire about information in Jiangxia."

The lieutenant immediately responded: "No." He immediately turned his horse's head and left.

………………

Yuzhang County

It took Zhou Yu five days to arrive at Yuzhang County, and Taishi Ci's 30,000-strong army had been overwhelmed by Xu Shu. However, seeing Zhou Yu's arrival, the soldiers all regained their confidence. The reason why Zhou Yu's prestige in Jiangdong was

He is so popular not only because of his talent, but more importantly because of his ability to lead troops.

Seeing Zhou Yu coming, Han Dang and Taishi Ci handed over the army to Zhou Yu's command without even reading Sun Ce's appointment letter. This shows that Zhou Yu's prestige and Xu Shu's talent made them feel chilled. However, the arrival of Zhou Yu made Taishi Ci and Han Dang

He breathed a sigh of relief.

After Zhou Yu arrived in Yuzhang, he ordered 30,000 soldiers and horses to be gathered together on the same day, and ignored Xu Shu's disturbance. Although the Jingzhou army invaded Jiangdong, the Jingzhou army only had 10,000 troops and was currently stationed in two counties. They could barely maintain it.

Zhou Yu did not dare to divide his troops to attack other counties. It was precisely because Zhou Yu saw through this that he completely ignored Xu Shu's harassment. In just two days, the 30,000-strong army, which had been humiliated by Xu Shu's day and night harassment, immediately recovered and its morale reached its peak.

.

Food and grass supplies were also transported to Yuzhang County here, and catapults, the weapon for siege, were also transported. Jiangdong troops were mobilized frequently in the hope of recovering Aixian and Xiushui counties as soon as possible.

In two days, Zhou Yu not only mobilized troops and horses, but also became familiar with them. Now Zhou Yu has 30,000 troops and horses at his disposal, and 30,000 troops are assembled and on standby, ready to set off to recapture the two counties.

And Xu Shu was not idle. After Zhou Yu arrived, he immediately asked the soldiers to stop harassing him. Although he had never met Zhou Yu, it was naturally extraordinary to be the governor of Jiangdong. In addition, Sima Hui and other people also praised Zhou Yu, and Xu Shu started to fight.

He was extremely careful. The situation here has been reported to Xiangyang. If nothing unexpected happens, Liu Biao will send troops and horses. What he has to do now is to guard these two counties and wait for the arrival of reinforcements.

Ai County is close to Jingzhou, so it can not only communicate with Xiushui County, but also report the situation to Jingzhou at any time. Xu Shu temporarily transferred Han Xuan and Yang Ling to You County just in case, and even Linxiang's remaining 10,000 troops

They were also brought here to support Ai County and Xiushui County at any time.

Ai County was still guarded by Zhao Lei at this time, but Xu Shu also transferred Ma Liang and Su Fei to Ai County, and the number of soldiers and horses in Ai County increased to 5,000. Under Zhao Lei's construction, Ai County not only heightened the city walls, but also

The moat outside the city wall was dug deep. The military crossbows brought from Jingzhou were mounted on the city wall and could be fired at any time. Under Ma Liang's suggestion, Zhao Lei even moved all the people in Ai County to where Jingzhou is now.

Ai County is completely a military fortress, and the roads in the city have been widened and modified to facilitate defense.

At the same time, Xu Shu also increased the defense of Xiushui County, and the number of troops and horses increased to 10,000. The people of Xiushui County were also moved to Jingzhou. In the huge Xiushui County, only Xiushui City was still inhabited.

Xu Shu selected 500 soldiers with amazing strength from an army of 10,000 and handed them over to Zhou Cang as a battalion. Liu Pan's Fengshi Battalion was also formally established. Liu Pan, with Xu Shu's consent, selected 300 soldiers from an army of 10,000.

Formed the Fengya Camp with the original hundreds of people and trained tirelessly every day.

Compared with Ai County, Xiushui County did not have any large-scale construction projects. Xu Shu only ordered people to heighten the city wall, and the rest remained the same as before.

The atmosphere in Yuzhang County was so tense that many businessmen who originally went to Yuzhang stopped going, and the war was about to begin.

……………

After a night's rest in Poyang County, Cheng Pu of Poyang County led two thousand cavalry to Lujiang County, and finally found traces of Liu Qi in Pengze County. When he learned that Liu Qi had robbed the two ladies, Cheng Pu was shocked.

He stayed, while blocking the news about the two ladies, he secretly sent someone to send a message to Wu Jun.

Although Liu Qi's strategy was sophisticated, it was easy to find clues. Cheng Pu led the army and easily discovered the three almost burned ships south of Pengze County. After discovering traces of Liu Qi's troops and horses on the bank of the Yangtze River, Cheng Pu immediately led the army.

The army turned around with Ling Cao of Chai Sang, and invaded Jingzhou from Chai Sang to search for traces of Liu Qi.

Although the west of Chaisang City belongs to Jingzhou, there is no city defense, and the traces of Liu Qi and others are too obvious. Ling Cao arranged a secret line in Jingzhou to easily discover Liu Qi and others. Cheng Pu and Ling Cao discussed and set out

Chaisang soldiers and horses went to pursue him.

Sun Jing and Sun Xi's 20,000-strong army had also left Wu County and followed Cheng Pu directly to Chaisang. The solemn atmosphere could be felt throughout Jiangdong.

The war began when neither side expected it.

The mobilization of troops and horses in Jingzhou and Jiangdong naturally alarmed other princes. Compared with the past, the mobilization of troops and horses in Jingzhou and Jiangdong was too frequent. Not only did Lujiang County have a sudden increase in troops, but even Yuzhang County also gathered troops, and both sides were even more

They are sending more troops to the front line, which is very similar to the situation of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

The various princes did not expect that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao had not yet started a war, but Liu Biao and Jiangdong in the south had already started a war. Jiangxia and Changsha were fighting on two fronts. In their view, Jingzhou and Jiangdong were clearly planning a decisive battle.

However, the mobilization of troops and horses by Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in the north did not stop because of this. Cao Cao wished that Liu Biao and Sun Ce would lose both sides and be unable to take action. In the decisive battle between him and Yuan Shao, he would attack Cao Cao's rear. However, Yuan Shao did not take Sun Ce and Yuan Shao seriously.

There was also a plan for Liu Biao to sneak attack Cao Cao, but the envoy sent did not send back any news.

Although Nanyang Zhang Xiu has always coveted Jingzhou, Cao Cao in the north is always keeping an eye on him. Once he leaves, Cao Cao will definitely send people to cut his way out, and Zhang Xiu does not dare to act rashly for a while.

Liu Zhang of Yizhou had been sending troops to defend Hanzhong, but Zhang Lu paid no attention to the war between Liu Biao and Sun Ce. He even sent people to Jingzhou privately to ask Liu Biao if he needed help.

Liu Qi, who had no consciousness at all, was heading towards Jingzhou with 800 cavalry. They were only a few dozen miles away from Chaisang, and there were only a few cities in Jiangxia that could block the attack of Jiangdong soldiers and horses.

At first, Liu Qi had to let Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao ride horses in order to travel. After a few hours, both women were so tired that they were sweating. Liu Qi had no choice but to let them ride in a carriage, and the speed of Liu Qi and others also suddenly slowed down.
