In the southern part of Jingzhou, the main regions of Guiyang, Lingling and Changsha, these three counties belong to the weakest control of the Chu State, and they are also the most chaotic areas of the Chu State today.

The state of Chu has always been peaceful, so Liu Biao is also popular, but the Wu army marched westward and encountered many obstacles, and it was difficult to advance step by step, but in Jingnan, the situation was the opposite.

The battles between Jingzhou and Jiaozhou Zhangjin were provoked by the three counties of Jingnan, and when Liu Biao sent troops to quell the rebellion of the three counties, it was not completely pacified.

Although the thief army has been generally quelled, many of the thief army has been dispersed, and the southern part is mountainous, which gives them the opportunity to fall into the grass, and also makes the southern part of Jingzhou in an atmosphere full of thieves for many years.

If there are more thieves, the roads will be different, and the order will be chaotic, and if you have been in such an environment for many years, Chu will naturally have no confidence in the people.

Liu Biao's prestige in Jingzhou is great, but his influence in Jingnan is very weak.

Therefore, when the Wu army came in like a wolf, except for the government to send troops to resist, the resistance of the people was not much at all, and the battle situation became unusually smooth.

In addition, Liu Biao now suppressed the main force in Chibi, and even gave up Jingnan and sent part of his troops north to resist Sun Jian's main force.

The three counties became weaker.

Huang Zhong, the commander of the Left Route Army, was originally from Jingzhou, which gave them a reason to surrender, so the speed of the Left Route Army's march was unusually fast.

Coming out of Jiaozhou, Huang Zhong took Guiyang County in one fell swoop with the momentum of thunder and the fastest time, and then he carved his troops into two ways.

His troops were not many, leaving 10,000 soldiers and horses to guard Guiyang. Only 30,000 soldiers and horses could be divided to take Lingling, and the rest of the soldiers, led by him personally, took Changsha.

In late December, Huang Zhong's main force had already arrived in Changsha County to govern the city.

Linxiang City.

Under the slopes of a hill five miles outside the city. The battle flags of Wu are fluttering, among which the yellow battle flag is the most powerful, and the army is several miles away, and the momentum is magnificent.

The Great Tent of the Chinese Army.

After Huang Zhong inspected the camp, he returned to the big tent, and with the help of the two personal soldiers around him, he took off his heavy battle armor and was on the cold water plate. I washed my face before I sat down.

"Yuan Zhi, is there a result?"

Huang Zhong raised his head, glanced at Xu Shu, a young scholar sitting beside him, and asked with a flash of hope in his tiger eyes.

"He's still thinking about it!"

When Xu Shu heard this, the corners of his mouth outlined a confident smile, and said, "He is already moved." But there are always some people who can't bear to betray the Chu State, but I believe it. He was able to make a choice that satisfied us! ”

They said that the Changsha county guard, Li Mu.

Li Mu, the head of a family in Changsha, is also a very capable person, although the soldiers of Changsha County have been transferred by Liu Biao, but he relies on his own ability. Or gathered 5,000 soldiers and 10,000 people from the cities of Changsha.

This force is not much, but if it sticks to Linxiang City, which has high walls and thick walls, it will always bring a lot of trouble to Huang Zhong's main force.

Of course, Huang Zhong is not afraid of the ragtag troops that this shareholder has put together.

The most elite of them are all county soldiers, and the others are still some people. It's not a threat at all.

If he sent troops to attack the city, he would be able to take Linxiang and even Changsha in ten days at most, but he would be able to kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800, and the siege battle was always the battle with the greatest casualties.

This battle, if it can not be fought, it is still not fought.

So Xu Shu offered a plan and wanted to recruit this Li Mu.

Li Mu is a native of Changsha, he once followed Sun Jian for a period of time, and then Sun Jian went north to King Qin, he stayed, and then later, he surrendered to Liu Biao, two years ago, Changsha County was in turmoil, the county guard died in battle, and he took the position of the county guard.

For Sun Jian, he still has an incense feeling, coupled with the current situation, Wu Jun has the upper hand, and Xu Shu is very sure that he can take Li Mu, but it will take time.

"Yuan Zhi!"

Huang Zhong squinted his eyes, groaned for a while, and said in a low voice: "It's the end of December now, and when spring begins tomorrow, a certain must lead his troops to the north, and the king will hunt in Chibi, breaking the last hope of the Chu State in one fell swoop." ”

"Three days, a certain family will give you three more days at most, if within three days, you can't let Li Mu Kaicheng surrender, even if a certain family fights for casualties, it will only be a strong attack!" Huang Zhong cut the road categorically.

"General Hansheng, don't worry!"

When Xu Shu heard this, he nodded heavily, his eyes crossed a glint of essence, and said: "Within three days, a certain guarantee can take him down and let him lead the troops to open the city and surrender!" ”

"Don't forget Han Xuan, he was sent by Liu Biao to supervise Jingnan!" Huang Zhong said: "He won't watch Li Mu surrender!" ”

"I believe in Li Mu!"

Xu Shu said: "If he surrenders, Han Xuan will die!" ”

"Yuan Zhi, thank you for this battle, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't have entered Changsha at such a fast speed!" When Huang Zhong heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "You obviously supervised the logistics of the three armies, but the left route army was pulled by a certain family, if the king blames it, he will carry it for you!" ”

"It's not so strict!"

Xu Shu shook his head and said, "The logistics of the three armies of the Overseer Army is just a transitional identity, and Donghou wanted me to come to the Left Route Army to assist you at the beginning!" ”

Sun Quan wanted to lay a foundation for him in the army, and he naturally understood.

"What about the logistics of the three services?" Huang Zhong was still a little worried, Wu Guo's law was strict, and it would not be good if Xu Shu was brought to a dead end because of the matter of the Left Route Army.

"Donghou has already dealt with it in the morning, he won't let us worry about these trivial things, what we have to do now is how to speed up, get through Changsha, and go north to Chibi!" Xu Shu said.

"I don't know how the battle above went?" Huang Zhong squinted: "The main force should still be deadlocked in Fankou, and there has been no news from the Right Route Army for a long time!" ”

"Don't talk about them, now we are more important, Lingling!" Xu Shu groaned for a while before he said.

"Hasn't there been any news from Fazheng yet?" When Huang Zhong heard this, his face suddenly became heavy.

"Not yet!"

Xu Shu shook his head lightly and said, "Those barbarians are not so easy to discuss, and now it is a good thing to suppress them and prevent them from sending troops to help Lingling, if you want them to surrender, I'm afraid it is not so easy!" ”

"If you don't surrender for a day, sooner or later it will be a disaster."

"Too much persecution, maybe disgusting!" Xu Shu said in a low voice: "The temper of the barbarian king of Wuxi Man that I heard is not very good, if it backfires, it will not be good!" ”

"Hmph, if you can kill Shanyue, you can pacify them!"

Huang Zhong's eyes burst out with a cold glow, and he shot the case, and said coldly and arrogantly: "I hope their choice will not disappoint Wu Guo, otherwise even if General Ben gives up Changsha, he will personally lead his troops to pacify them!" ”

"General Hansheng, although the strength of Wuxi Man is not as good as Shanyue, it can't be underestimated!" Xu Shu advised: "Besides, the overall situation of the Chu State is now important!" ”

"Yuan Zhi, if General He is here, I won't talk to them at all!" Huang Zhong took a deep breath, calmed down, and said in a cold voice: "I will send troops directly, and those who do not surrender will be killed!" ”

He Qi, the advertised general of mountain warfare, Tai Shici and Huang Zhong both pacified the mountain crossing, but compared to He Qi, their record was not good.

He Qi, the commander of the Danyang Shanyue War, under his planning and Huang Zhong's cooperation, he solved the disaster in Jiangdong for hundreds of years in one fell swoop.

It is not unreasonable for the former general to be above the rear general, although He Qi is young, Huang Zhong respects He Qi very much.

"It's a pity that now General He is overseas, stabilizing the situation in the South China Sea and the East China Sea!" When Xu Shu heard this, he shook his head, now the main force of the navy has entered the Yangtze River waterway, but it cannot give up the sea area.

"That's why I'm willing to talk to them!"

Huang Zhong thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Yuan Zhi, you send a message to Fa Zheng, let his attitude become tougher, I will let Lingling's army cooperate with him, the barbarians are the same as the Shanyue people, they bully the weak and fear the hard, don't give them a little bit of power, they really think that my Wu State is begging him to surrender!" ”

"Got it!"

When Xu Shu heard this, his eyes lit up slightly and nodded.

He is a strategist, he thinks too much, but he lacks the toughness of these battlefield generals, Huang Zhong is right, more toughness, or negotiations with Wuxi Man, will take a crucial step. (To be continued......)
