The soldier raised his eyelids and glanced at Liu Zhang. He was an old subordinate of Gan Ning. He was very happy when he talked about Gan Ning's achievements. Now when he heard Liu Zhang's unkind tone, he couldn't help but feel uneasy and said in a weak voice: "Gan, General Gan has no
Go pick up Miss Fan."
"What?"
Liu Zhang's eyes widened, and the soldier trembled in fright, and said hurriedly: "No, but Miss Fan is fine. Miss Fan fled from You County to Guiyang. When the news came out that Liu Qi died of starvation, Jingnan was in chaos, and the people were robbed by Jingzhou soldiers again."
After suffering the plunder, Miss Fan took the opportunity to raise her arms and shout in Guiyang, and the people followed suit.
The people in the Lingling Changsha uprising also responded to Miss Fan's call. The remaining Jingzhou soldiers surrendered to Miss Fan. Miss Fan took control of the three counties of Lingling and Changsha in Guiyang, plus Wuling and Liangqiao, and the four counties had declared themselves free from the rebels.
Under Liu Biao's control, we encircled and suppressed the Jingzhou soldiers who were looting everywhere."
"Great, great."
Not only did he win the city, but he also won the hearts and minds of the people. Happy events came one after another, and the faces of all the generals were all smiles.
"But..." The soldier looked around and stopped talking.
"But what?" Liu Zhang asked.
"But only one county in Wuling has clearly surrendered to the lord. What Miss Fan is fighting is Zhang Yi's banner." The soldier said hesitantly.
"Zhang Yi's banner?" Fazheng immediately frowned, tilted his head and whispered to Liu Zhang: "My lord, Zhang Yi and his son are already dead long ago, and Zhang Yi has no heirs. If you want to use Zhang Yi's reputation to recruit old troops to stabilize people's hearts,
, Zhang Yi has no kindness towards Jingnan, his tribe has been separated for a long time, and Fan Chang is also dead, does Fan Lixiang want to stand on her own feet?"
It seems that there is no reason for Fan Lixiang to do this except to be self-reliant, but as a woman, self-reliant...
Liu Zhang pinched his forehead a few times. He knew that Fan Lixiang was a woman with a strong desire for power, but he did not expect that she would be so powerful. For a woman to be independent, it was incredible and unrealistic to think about it. With Fan Lixiang's intelligence, Liu Zhang felt that
Some didn't believe it, but they didn't dare to reject it completely. They simply waved their hands, raised their heads and addressed the crowd.
"Forget it, don't worry about Fan Lixiang. Jingnan will not pose a threat to us for the time being. Defending Jiangdong Sun Ce is the top priority. Soldiers at all levels should go down and prepare."
"yes."
………………
Jiangjin Ferry, as the name suggests, is a key point on the Yangtze River. It connects Gong'an Ferry to the south and the Three Gorges in central Sichuan to the west. It is the throat of Jiangling. If the Jiangdong Army wants to attack Jiangling, it must first occupy Jiangjin Ferry.
After Wei Yan made a sneak attack on Jiangling, thousands of Jingzhou soldiers withdrew southward and crossed Jiangjin Ferry, burning all the defense facilities in Jiangjin, leaving behind black charcoal everywhere. Only the embankments made of hard stone remained intact.
The March scenery was beautiful, the river scenery was pleasant, and civil and military forces at all levels were preparing for the battle with the Jiangdong Army. Liu Zhang and Xiao Furong went to Jiangjin Ferry to inspect the defense construction here.
Liu Zhang walked around along the way and found that the project was progressing well. Even if Sun Ce mobilized troops in advance, the defense of Jiangjin Ferry could still be put into use. He was slightly relieved. When he saw a hill about fifty meters high next to Jiangjin Ferry, he and Xiao
Hibiscus climbed up together.
"Look, I just said that practicing martial arts is good. You can climb mountains without blushing or out of breath." Xiao Furong, wearing a red gauze dress, followed closely behind Liu Zhang, holding a sword in her hand, full of heroism, looking at Liu Zhang striding up the mountain, she spoke with a smile.
Yan, a pair of beautiful dimples is particularly charming.
"I was holding it in." Liu Zhang replied angrily. From that night on, Xiao Furong was known for her drunkenness and debauchery, which was limited to once every three days. Liu Zhang felt like he was going to suffer internal injuries from holding it in, but Xiao Furong's hands and feet were very strong.
, she wanted to refuse, but she really had no choice at all. From this point of view, it was really urgent to learn martial arts.
Liu Zhang sat on the rock at the top of the mountain and had a panoramic view of everything on the Jiangjin Ferry. Xiao Furong stood aside and took a breath of comfort, with a calm smile on her pink face. Liu Zhang looked at the Yangtze River with its clear water moving eastward and said with a smile:
"The terrain of this place is high and flat. It is just right to build an archery field to cooperate with the defense of Jiangjin Crossing. This will definitely make the river defense more stable."
The smile on Xiao Furong's face disappeared in an instant, and she turned around with a look of dissatisfaction on her face, "Why do you keep talking about Jiang Fang? I inspected it for a whole day, and my legs were broken. I agreed to come up and rest. Such a beautiful scenery, but you
As soon as I mentioned it, all the interest was gone.”
Xiao Furong has lived in the mountains since she was a child, and all she saw were hills and mountains, and waterfalls. Now she could look at the open scenery of the river bank, and it was the time when the Sichuan army was out of trouble, so she was naturally very happy.
Liu Zhang smiled and found that he was becoming less and less interesting in life. It was also because of the depression some time ago. News just came from Yizhou. While he was away from Chaisang, Huang Quan led the civil and military forces to go to Chaisang every day.
Wuxikou welcomed him, and he could barely stabilize people's hearts.
Later, I learned that I had arrived in Chaisang. Many wealthy families and many civil servants seemed to be preparing that I would not be able to go back. They secretly contacted each other, including some officials whom Liu Zhang knew by name. Until I surrendered Wei Yan and stationed in Jiangling,
The situation barely calmed down.
Liu Zhang could imagine what the scene would be like in Yizhou if something happened to him. It was as if there was a knife hanging on his neck at any time. How could Liu Zhang live in peace, how could he not think about all kinds of crises, and how could he have fun?
The gentle river breeze blew across his face. When Liu Zhang saw that Xiao Furong was enjoying such an environment, he stopped saying disappointing words. He held Xiao Furong's little hand and pulled it gently. Xiao Furong fell into his arms and Liu Zhang hugged her tightly.
Touching the beauty's waist and feeling the fragrance of the black hair, only at this time was Liu Zhang most relaxed.
"The meandering water pavilions carry the spring breeze and return the moon.
Fish come from the river and enjoy themselves according to destiny.
The boat is sailing against the current, leaving behind the basics and feeling exhausted.
Digging rivers to change roads is the only way to go against moral principles and give up on yourself."
At this moment, a generous song came from far behind, with a vigorous and ethereal voice. Liu Zhang and Xiao Furong couldn't help but look back. Xiao Furong got up from Liu Zhang, and Liu Zhang led his soldiers to the back of the hill, only to see the foot of the mountain.
In a forest, a small river flows into the Yangtze River. There is a pavilion facing the river near the river. Two old men are playing Go in the pavilion. The singing is coming from the pavilion.
"Those two old men must be noble men. Come with me and take a look."
Liu Zhang, who has watched various martial arts TV shows, the first thing he thought of in this kind of scene was that the reclusive Taoist priests were coming out to enlighten him, not to mention that the Jingxiang area was a famous reclusive place for Taoist priests in the Three Kingdoms.
However, after such a long battle on the battlefield, Liu Zhang also understood a truth. There cannot be gods in this world who can pinch and calculate. At most, there are some people with extraordinary resourcefulness or the ability to observe people and colors. They can control the world, mountains and fields.
Most of them are outlandish people.
"Liu Zhang of Yizhou has met two eminent men, but I don't know their names."
Liu Zhang led his entourage outside the pavilion and saluted the two old men in the pavilion. One old man stroked his gray beard and laughed loudly: "It turns out that Uncle Liu Huang from Yizhou has arrived. It's rare that Uncle Liu Huang can be so respectful to an old man like me.
It's just that the chess game has reached a delicate point, so I can't come out of the pavilion to pay my respects, so I invite Emperor Uncle Haihan."
