(PS: There's something to do today.,I'm tired of a day.,I didn't write it until I came back.,So the update was late.,The number of words in this chapter is a little less.,I hope you'll forgive me.。 )

Although I don't know where Zhang Fei is now, the Han army has occupied the vast majority of Wuling County and has absolute control over the region, and Hao Zhao has also become a general in charge of himself, temporarily leading the army to garrison Linyuan City.

After Zhang Xiu returned to Xiangyang with Shamoke, he explained to Zhang Yan all the process of this battle, and Zhang Yan learned that they defeated Zhang Fei, which was Yang Xiu's strategy, and he was also impressed by Yang Xiu.

Immediately, Zhang Yan asked Zhang Xiu to recuperate in Xiangyang City, and named Shamoke as the general of Guiyi, but he put Shamoke directly under house arrest in Xiangyang City, posthumously awarded the title of General Hu Che'er, and named Hao Zhao as the Taishou of Wuling and the general of Nanban, and led Shamoke's troops and horses to garrison Wuling, in addition, he also specially rewarded Huang Zhong and Yang Xiu with some gold and silver to show his favor.

Zhang Fei has already been defeated, as for where he went, Zhang Yan didn't ask too much, because Zhang Fei and Guan Yu have a deep brotherhood, as long as Guan Yu is still in Changsha, Zhang Fei will never leave Jingnan. And next, the person Zhang Yan has to deal with is only Guan Yu, as long as Guan Yu is defeated again, then the four counties of Jingnan will be at his fingertips.

According to the scout's secret report, Guan Yu's department did not have a naval army, and the main force led by him was 5,000 Shanyue soldiers, who were very good at mountain warfare and foot warfare, and were not very good at water warfare. In addition, another scout also inquired that Sun Quan transferred three troops and horses from Guangzhou to help Guan Yu capture Jingzhou. These three troops and horses were led by Tan Xiong, Pan Zhang, and Ling Cao respectively. But I don't know what the reason is. The army, which was supposed to arrive in Changsha a few days earlier to join Guan Yu, had not yet arrived when the scouts sent the news.

Zhang Yan sorted out the news, and finally decided to no longer wait for the rabbit, but to prepare to launch an all-out war against Guan Yu.

Moreover, Zhang Yan also decided that he would personally command this operation, and let Sima Yi and Yang Xiu serve as the army. The Jingzhou army, led by Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, and Li Tong, was the main force and set out from Dongting Lake to attack Changsha.

After the order was issued, Zhang Yan rode a war horse and set off from Xiangyang all the way to the south, directly to Dongting Lake, while Sima Yi took a boat, with horses and a thousand members of the Heavenly Workshop, loaded with some secret weapons. Stream down from the Han River and turn into Dongting Lake.

The reason why Zhang Yan chose to ride a horse. It is because his horse Bailong is a horse that travels thousands of miles a day and eight hundred at night, a purebred sweat-blooded horse, at least for the time being, it is unique, and because of its nobility and particularity, ordinary mares dare not use it for breeding.

Zhang Yan had already sent someone to the Western Regions to ask Pang Tong for a female bloody horse, but there has been no news so far, so Bailong is still a bachelor.

After Zhang Yan left Xiangyang City, he rode a white dragon and rode alone, and it only took two days and one night to come to Dongting Lake, where Huang Zhong was located.

Huang Zhong, Yang Xiu, Wei Yan, and Li Tong are located in the Dongting Lake water military camp, is on the small island in the middle of Dongting Lake, this place is called Junshan, when Zhang Yan came to Junshan by boat, everything in front of him opened his eyes.

In just half a month, there are already many water military camps around Junshan, and the ships are cruising back and forth, many of which are newly built warships, and there are more than 800 large and small warships around the entire Junshan Mountains, surrounding the entire Junshan Water Village.

In addition, Zhang Yan can also vaguely see that on the opposite bank of Junshan Water Village, a military barrier is being built intensively, and the person who built this barrier is Xu Huang, although the two armies face each other across the lake, but they have formed a trend of each other's horns, and the newly built Yueyang City has a unique geographical advantage, Zhang Yan admires Xu Huang's strategic vision.

In Junshan Water Village, Huang Zhong, Yang Xiu, Wei Yan, and Li Tong were all busy with their own affairs, and they didn't know anything about the order given by Zhang Yan, because Zhang Yan rode over soon after giving the order, and it is estimated that the scouts are not as fast as Zhang Yan at this time.

Zhang Yan was dressed in a strong suit, and he approached the water village alone on a fishing boat, so the sailors who were cruising and patrolling in the lake were very nervous about the approach of this fishing boat, and immediately stepped forward to interrogate.

Who knows, on this inconspicuous fishing boat, there is a dignified King Yan, which surprises the fishermen on the fishing boat that the sailors have sent Zhang Yan to Junshan.

After learning Zhang Yan's identity, the generals on the patrol boat did not dare to slack off, and immediately turned the bow of the boat and opened the way for the fishing boat Zhang Yan was riding in front, and finally arrived at the shore of Junshan smoothly.

After the fishing boat approached the shore, Zhang Yan jumped out of the cabin of the fishing boat, and after going ashore, he directly threw a gold ingot to the fisherman as a gift of thanks.

Where was the fisherman willing to take it, but Zhang Yan insisted on giving it, because Zhang Yan chatted with the fisherman when he was on the boat, and learned that the fisherman's family was in difficulty, he was moved by compassion, so he gave a piece of gold. The fisherman was moved, bowed and bowed, thanked and thanked, until Zhang Yan's back disappeared in his sight, and then he supported the reeds and drove the boat out of Junshan Water Village.

The news of Zhang Yan's sudden arrival was reported in the Junshan Water Village, and almost everyone learned the news that King Yan personally came to the Junshan Water Village, and when Huang Zhong, Yang Xiu, Wei Yan, Li Tong and others learned the news, they were surprised, and then hurriedly rushed back to the camp of the water army to meet Zhang Yan.

Because Junshan Shui Village is the first time to be founded, all kinds of facilities are still very simple, even the meeting hall of the Governor of the Navy is very simple, only a few straw mats are laid, and then a few futons are placed, and there is nothing else.

When Huang Zhong, Yang Xiu, Wei Yan, Li Tong and others came to the conference hall, Zhang Yan had been sitting in the hall for a while. The four of them arrived one after the other, but the first to arrive did not go in immediately, but waited outside for the others to arrive, and then went in together.

The four of them strode into the hall and bowed respectfully to Zhang Yan: "See His Royal Highness King Yan!" ”

"Excuse me! Sit it all! Zhang Yan raised his hand and pressed it down, motioning for them all to sit down.

After Huang Zhong, Yang Xiu, Wei Yan, and Li Tong all sat on the ground, Zhang Yan said: "My horse is too fast, so I should have arrived here before the scout who issued the order, but you don't need to be restrained, just treat me as a tourist, and after the scout's order arrives, you will treat me as the king of Yan." By the way, are you all used to being here? ”

Everyone nodded, but did not speak.

Zhang Yan continued: "In just over half a month, there can be such achievements here, which shows how hard you have worked. I'm just curious today, so I went to the island to have a look, but I'm not staying here tonight, and you don't have to arrange anything for me, I'm going to go to the other side to have a look. ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Yan stood up and said to Huang Zhong: "Governor Huang, send a ship to send me to the other side!" (To be continued......)
