Kuai Yue was originally an envoy from Jingzhou to Jiangdong.

When he went to Jiangdong, it went very well, and he negotiated with Sun Jian, but he didn't expect that Sun Jian had just escaped here, so Sun Jian tricked him and sent troops directly into Jiangxia, which was a surprise to him.

When the main force of the Jiangdong Army was in Chaisang, he realized it later.

exhausted all means to escape from Moling City.

After returning to Jiangxia, he began to explore the traces of the Jiangdong Army in all aspects, looking for traces of the main force of Jiangdong, and his hard work paid off, after all, he found the location of the main force of Jiangdong.

At this time, he just wanted to report to Xiling and let Xiling make a defense.

Unexpectedly, a secret letter was sent from Xiling, and at present, the Jingzhou Prefecture Pastoral Mansion is in Jiangxia, and some post roads in Jiangxia and the network of intelligence transmission have been opened, and most of them are still under his control.

Therefore, this secret letter went out of Xiling, and it was in Kuai Yue's hand.

He checked the secret letter and determined that it was definitely in the hands of Liu Biao, so in a panic, he found the main force in Jiangdong.

The situation is changing too fast.

He didn't expect that the pastoral army would have already entered Jiangxia by this time.

And the main force of the Jingzhou Army, just as it happens, is not in Jiangxia.

If before, he still had to defend the Jiangdong Army, then at this time, the Jiangdong Army may have become the last straw.

He had to risk being alone in the camp.

Meet Sun Jian in person.

This is not only risky, but also can only gamble, otherwise let the pastoral army break through Xiling, I am afraid that not only the Jiangdong army will not be able to escape, even Jingzhou will have a big problem, you know, Liu Biaoke is still in Xiling.

"I want to see what Liu Jingsheng has to say to a certain family!" Sun Jian was also surprised, but after all, he was the overlord of one party, so he just glanced at Kuai Yue, didn't say much, and directly opened the letter.

"Asking for help?"

This made Sun Jian even more surprised, he looked at it, and his pupils suddenly changed color: "What, the pastoral army has already entered Jiangxia, how is it possible, we have no news at all, how did they pass Nanyang and Xiangyang unknowingly?" ”

Nanyang has a large population and a large number of people.

There were many caravans of all kinds of merchants.

Even if it's not a scout to inquire, it's a place where the news can't be hidden.

If they swaggered south, they couldn't be so fast, and if they were to hide, they wouldn't have such speed, after all, if they wanted to march day and night, the speed would naturally become slow.

"Although I also feel that this is somewhat impossible, but unless it is absolutely necessary, how can the lord write a secret letter, please help Wu Hou!"

Kuai Yue smiled bitterly: "Now my lord, the danger is imminent, once Xiling is broken by the herdsmen first, then my lord will die, even if Jiangdong is at that time, I am afraid it will be difficult to get benefits, and please Wu Hou quickly send troops to save Xiling and water and fire!" ”

"I know about this, I'll think about it and give you an answer!"

Sun Jian's mood was somewhat silent, and he was more hesitant, he couldn't just listen to Kuai Yue's words and immediately move irritablely.

"You go down and rest first, and then I will discuss it with you when I have a decision!"

Sun Jian said lightly.

"Please also ask Wu Hou to make a decision as soon as possible, the soldiers are fast, once Xiling falls into the hands of the herdsmen, the situation in Jingzhou will be precarious!"

Kuai Yue gave up, and finally it was a sentence of advice.

Then he left the tent.

When he left, Sun Jian's tense face fell a little, his face was gloomy, and his voice became slightly manic: "The pastoral army did not participate in the battle of Guanzhong, so I felt that there was a problem, thinking that they would wave the main force to the south, but I didn't expect it to be so fast!" ”

"Lord, could this be Jingzhou's scheme, now it's just their rhetoric, whether the pastoral army has not appeared or not, it's hard to say!"

Tai Shi Ci arched his hand and said what he thought.

"Probably not!"

Cheng Pu retorted and said: "In this way, Jingzhou has no benefit, Jingzhou's troops are already there, if you stick to Xiling, you can still bear it for a few days, but let go of the gate of Xiling, let us in, they have the power to resist at all, they have no strength to break through ten thousand laws, they have no strength after all, even if they ambush us, they don't have this ability, then Jingzhou is not necessary to play tricks like this, I'm afraid it's really the herdsmen who went south, and if they want to find some traces, it's not that they can't find it, send scouts to the west, as long as the main force of the herdsmen passes." , there will be some traces left, and it will be clear at a glance whether the pastoral army has entered Jiangxia or not! ”

"Check it out!"

Sun Jian gritted his teeth and said: "I must know as soon as possible whether the Mu Army has really entered Jiangxia, if so, even if it is unscrupulous, I will take the first step and take Jiangxia!" ”

Jiangxia's position in the Jingzhou campaign is very important, and it is also a bridgehead for Jiangdong's eastward advance.

"No!"

Cheng Pu received the order and turned to leave.

"Ziyi!"

"In!"

"No matter what, it's better to believe it than not to believe it, I'll give you eight thousand soldiers and horses, you march in the vanguard, get close to Xiling first, once the news of the spies comes back, enter Xiling immediately, take Xiling, is the most important thing!"

"No!"

Tai Shici nodded and took the order.

…………………………

At night, a bright moon rises, and the sky is full of stars.

Xiling City.

Quiet and lonely.

At night, most of the people have rested, and there is a quiet atmosphere in the city, only the sound of the steps of the patrol soldiers, but on the city wall, there is indeed a fire, and the soldiers are waiting in line.

Mu Jing was in a state of insomnia, this was a state when the big war was approaching, the pressure was too great, even if he was a little tired, it was difficult to fall asleep, so he personally went to the city wall to inspect the situation.

Standing at the head of the city, looking at the darkness outside the city, he was a little deep: "Will Sun Wentai come?" ”

Even his own faith is not very sufficient.

Although everything that can be calculated has been counted, but the accident is an eternal existence, and you will never know what will happen in the next second, this is the joy of life.

"It should come!"

Xu Shu was pulled up on his back, yawned, and then said leisurely: "As long as he has a share of impatience, even if he has nine points of calmness, it is not enough to see, and the thought of wanting Jiang Xia will make him desperate!" ”

"That being said, this person should not be underestimated!"

Mu Jing was silent for a moment: "Judging from the current strength of the Jiangdong Army, if they don't enter the city, we don't have the advantage of ambushes, and a head-on confrontation is a lose-lose situation, and it is difficult to gain an advantage, unless he is willing to enter the city!" ”

War.

The right time, place and people are indispensable.

The fighting power of the herdsmen is there, but the strength is insufficient, and it is no problem to fight the Jingzhou army, but it is beyond the strength of the Jiangdong army to fight the strong soldiers trained by the tigers like the Jiangdong Army.

One person, one style.

A person like Liu Biao, even if he is reckless, he can't actually train strong soldiers, which has something to do with his style, and the things in his bones can't be changed at all.

A soldier bears a nest of bears.

What people, what soldiers to bring.

The soldiers brought out by Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian are also fierce tigers, whether it is military formation training, or combat spirit, morale, fighting spirit, and physical strength, they are all higher than the Jingzhou army.

There was a real fight, and the herdsmen did not have an advantage.

"The lord often says that it is up to man to do things, and it is up to heaven to do things!"

Xu Shu thought for a while and said, "Everything we can do has been done, now, it depends on whether a little luck is on our side!" ”

"Makes sense!"

Mu Jing actually doesn't see through this, he often says it, he understands it more deeply, but when he is in the bureau, he will be led away by worry, some things can be seen clearly outside the bureau, but in the bureau, it is difficult to think about it.

"The moonlight is good tonight, I'll go back and sleep and recharge my energy!"

Mu Jing thought for a while and said.

Xu Shu came to the spirit at this time, but he seemed to want to cry without tears, when he wanted to fall asleep, he was pulled up by this guy, and now he is chatting and chatting, he is in spirit, he ran back to sleep.

I really want to give him a kick.

But who made him the lord?

Ay!

Xu Shu sighed, he could only clean up his mood, follow Mu Jing, go back to continue to rest, recuperate, and wait for the coming Jiangdong Army.

……………………

A round of rising sun brings a new light and makes the world more attractive.

In the morning, the sun is dispelling the fog.

On the outskirts of Xiling City, less than ten miles away, the Jiangdong Army quietly camped.

Sun Jian stayed awake all night.

After the two mountains, it is already a flat river, the road is easy to walk, the speed is also fast, it doesn't take much time to enter Xiling, originally yesterday, he had the opportunity to directly come to the city.

But because of Liu Biao's secret letter, he had to be cautious, but the soldiers were fast, and he didn't dare to slow down, so last night, in the middle of the march, he pulled the main force ten miles outside the city.

After a day and a night of inquiring about the news, the Jiangdong spies also kept gathering some information and came back.

"Lord, there is news, Jiangdong spies found a little in Anlu, as if they saw the traces left by the herdsmen, and inquired about the people in the city, the city was suddenly closed a few days ago, and then there were some strange patrol soldiers, and then I saw a troop of soldiers and horses, galloping eastward!"

"Are you sure it's the shepherd?"

"I'm not sure, the shepherd army definitely didn't display the flag, in this case, unless it is a professional scout, it is difficult for the people to know where the soldiers and horses are!"

Cheng Pudao: "But it is already certain that there is a force that has entered Jiangxia!" ”

"Do you think Liu Biao's words are credible?"

"Sixty percent credible!" Cheng Pu analyzed: "If it weren't for the herdsman's army entering Jiangxia, how could Liu Jingsheng be so smooth and directly invite us to enter Xiling, he wouldn't be able to stop it at all, so he had this move, otherwise even if he fought with us, even if he couldn't beat it, he would have to call Jiangxia out on the left, left and right, or he wouldn't be able to explain to Jingzhou at all!" ”

"Reasonable!"

Sun Jian nodded: "That means that we can enter Xiling with a swagger!" ”

"You can't be defenseless!"

Cheng Pu said: "We still have to be completely prepared, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, and now this force, the whereabouts are unknown, around Xiling, there is no trace of the battle, so what is their goal, the north, or they are ready to encircle the point to send reinforcements, the fundamental purpose is that we must be on guard!" ”

"Let's go call first!"

Sun Jian pondered for a moment and said, "Let Taishi Cicheng fight in the battle, see who comes out, and then we will make plans!" ”

"No!"

Cheng Pu immediately went to arrange it.

Tai Shi Ci led an army of 8,000 troops, set up a formation under the city gate, called a battle in front of the city head, and asked the main general of Jingzhou to respond.

At the head of the city, although the soldiers of the pastoral army were wearing Jingzhou military robes, they did not dare to respond, not because they were afraid of Tai Shici, but because they were afraid of being tried on their identities, so they were silent all the time, which made Tai Shici a little irritable.

At this time, Liu Biao appeared.

"A certain is Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, who is under the city, quickly report to the name?" Liu Biao asked loudly.

"A certain family is Tai Shi Ci under the command of Wu Hou!"

Tai Shi Ci held the silver spear in his hand and said coldly: "Since Liu Yuanjun invited us to come to help, why do you want the city gate to close, this is not the way of hospitality!" ”

"Let Wu Hou come to see so-and-so, otherwise, so-and-so is unwilling to open the city gate!" Liu Biao Shi Ran said that even if he is a prisoner, he is not a small general who can shout.

"It's him!"

In the military formation in the distance, Sun Jian let go of his worries.

He hurried forward.

"Brother Jingsheng, don't come unharmed!"

Sun Jian and Liu Biao, also as opponents, fought many battles, when Sun Jian was still under the command of Yuan Shu, in order to attack Nanyang, into Jingzhou, crossed the river, straight into Xiangyang, at that time Liu Biao was fierce, head-on attack, the Jiangdong army was a little miserable.

"Brother Wentai, it's a letter, it's been a few days since you went out, but you came quickly!" Liu Biao sneered, Sun Wentai really thought he was a fool, even if Mu Jing didn't enter Jiangxia, Sun Jian probably wanted to kill and descend unconsciously.

This time, his mentality calmed down.

I'm hopeless anyway.

Then let you fight, it is best to fight to the death, and see who dies first.

"I and Brother Jingsheng, form an alliance together, how can I see Jiangxia in trouble, and stand by, after receiving Brother Jingsheng's letter, a certain non-stop, the ship does not dock, and rapid reinforcements are coming, a certain pair of Jingzhou is a fist, the sun and the moon can be seen!"

If a person is cheap, he is invincible, and being thick-skinned is the good quality that a hegemon should have, Sun Jian has gradually learned this, he can talk nonsense when he opens his eyes, he said it with a smile.

"Well said!"

Liu Biao also smiled, and the smile was so bright: "Brother Wentai, I have an agreement with you, I am willing to cut off Jiangxia in exchange for Jiangdong sending troops, today I will entrust Jiangxia to you, come here, open the city gate!" ”

Behind the city, where the battlements were hidden, Mu Jing and Xu Shu's eyes were a little gloomy.

"Lord, Liu Biao is desperate!"

Xu Shu said in a low voice.

"Compare your heart to your heart, people are unwilling, if he loses, he will die, since he has the opportunity, how can he not pit us, since he is on the table, how to play, let him go!" Mu Jing said in a low voice.

Liu Biao's sentence was said in front of everyone, even if someone wanted to refute it, it was difficult.

At this time, he said that he would give Jiangxia to Jiangdong.

After that day, it will be more difficult for Jiangdong to let go, he Liu Biao dares to divide Jiangxia, but Jiangdong does not dare to collect it, which is a great blow to Jiangdong's morale, even if this battle is defeated and Jiangdong retreats, Jiangdong will be stalked in the future, and continue to send troops to take back Jiangxia.

It's a conspiracy.

It's Minghou.

Liu Biao's life and death are difficult to grasp, but he is unwilling, he wants the Mu Army and the Jiangdong Army to fight to the death, so that he will be more comfortable.

"Open the gates!"

Mu Jing said: "No matter what, the matter in front of us is the most important, let's talk about the future later, as long as we trick the Jiangdong Army into the city, we will have a chance to win!" ”

"Open the gates!"

Xu Shu ordered.

Boom Boom Boom !!!!

The jack gate stirred and pulled up on the turntable, and then the beams of the city gate were taken down one by one, and the huge city gate was slowly pushed open from the inside.

"My lord, shall we go into the city?"

The generals in Jiangdong were also quietly looking at Sun Jian at this time, waiting for Sun Jian to make a final decision.

The gates of the city have been opened.

Getting into the city is just a breeze.

Sun Jian's heart was somewhat apprehensive.

It all went well.

But the more it went well, the more uneasy I felt.

Opportunity, but also danger.

Danger, but also opportunity.

He must be cautious in this decision, he must be cautious, otherwise the tens of thousands of Jiangdong main forces under his command will be in danger.

"Into town!"

Sun Jian's hesitation did not last long, and he quickly made a decision.

As Xu Shu said, even if Sun Jian has nine points of calmness, he can't fight a point of greed, and the thought of wanting to seize Jiang Xia fills his mind all the time, making him want to stop.

Therefore, he chose to take the risk, and controlling Xiling is equivalent to controlling Jiangxia.
