Chapter 260: Queen of Yamatai

"Yellow-haired girl, you spew blood." Master Yang saw that Huang Zu was about to be moved, and shouted and scolded Huang Yueying.

Huang Yueying smiled faintly: "If the master bookkeeper has no ghost in his heart, why be so excited?" ”

Huang Zu's eyes suddenly turned to Master Yang, Master Yang saw that Huang Zu's eyes were not good, and knew that Huang Zu had a violent temperament, and his frightened face turned white, and at this moment, a soldier ran in.

"Report to the lord, Jiang Shang intercepted a letter, which is a letter of surrender sent by Master Yang to Zhou Tai in Sanjiangkou."

Huang Zu stepped forward and pulled the letter from the soldier's hand in two steps: "What about the person who sent the letter?" ”

"I jumped into the river and absconded."

Huang Zu unfolded the bamboo slip and only swept it once, and looked at Master Yang's eyes with a fierce light, and shouted, "Come on, drag Yang Zhan down and hack him to death." ”

"Yes."

Several sergeants poured in, set up Yang Zhan and left, Yang Zhan came back to his senses for a long time, and shouted: "Lord, your subordinates are loyal to you, and they have never written any letters, Lord, Lord, you can't listen to slander." ”

Yang Zhan shouted hoarsely, but Huang Zu could still hear it, and after a while, he heard the screams of "ahhhhhh

"You, who else, who else wants to take my life, flatter Jiangdong, come out for me, get out of here." Huang Zu shouted at all the civil and military forces, and all the civil and military forces were silent.

Huang Yueying pursed her lips and smiled, stepped forward and said to Huang Zu: "The catastrophe is coming, the forest birds are flying around, uncle, now you should understand, Yang Chong is not the only one who colludes with the Sun family, in order to protect himself, who does not take risks?" For my uncle, the generals should not be held accountable now, but should think of a way out, otherwise there is no way out, I am afraid that the whole Jiangxia will be in chaos, and it will be too late to regret it. ”

"Yueying is an uncle and niece, dare to give her uncle a word of advice, and please don't tell the imperial uncle after surrendering in the future, otherwise Yueying will have a big disaster, Jiangxia will not surrender now, whether it is Jiangdong to obtain Jiangxia in the end, or Uncle Liu Huang to obtain Jiangxia, Anlu Huang clan will be destroyed undoubtedly.

And if you surrender Uncle Liu, although you must now follow the three major decrees, hurting the rights and interests of the family, but you can protect the family, if one day, Uncle Huang's army is defeated, Jiangxia falls into the hands of others, and the Anlu Huang family has to get rid of the shackles, isn't it possible to regain the glory of the lintel?

And if the emperor's uncle opens up the territory and supports the Han family, the whole world must follow the three major decrees, the uncle has the merit of surrendering, and the heroes of the Han Dynasty, can't the Anlu Huang clan also carry forward?

No matter how you calculate it, my uncle won't suffer. ”

Seeing Huang Zu struggling and hesitating, Huang Yueying smiled and said: "Okay, don't talk about it, if it falls, Jiangxia City must be taken over by the Sichuan army, and the navy must be dispersed. ”

Huang Yueying stepped out of the county hall, smiled lightly at the hunting Jiang Feng, and said in her heart: "Uncle, it seems that I am going to betray you twice, don't blame me." ”

Huang Yueying believed that at this juncture, someone in Jiangxia must have fornicated Jiangdong, but it was so easy to grasp the evidence, so she had to send someone to make a boat and pretend to be stopped by Jiangxia sailors.

Huang Zu has a short temperament, and when he saw the letter, it was strange that Yang Zhan's life could be saved.

This is the first time it has been betrayed.

Through persuasion of Huang Zu, Huang Yueying has found that Huang Zu is a person with a weak will, and he is irritable and worthy of the name, such a person is not suitable to be the deputy governor of the navy.

For the sake of the development of the Sichuan army, Huang Yueying already planned to betray him for the second time.

………… Jingling, Jingzhou military camp is desolate, now a hundred people can only be distributed a small amount of food every day, everyone is hungry with gold stars, on the ship, in the water camp, on the suspension bridge, on the grass, everywhere is paralyzed people, the sentry also leaned weakly on the wooden pillar, and the short gun was used as a crutch.

Zhang Yun sat in the lobby and frowned, his only hope now was to contact the Jiangdong Army, discuss the surrender, and then go south downstream.

"Governor." A young general walked in with a bamboo tube in his hand.

"Chen Hong visited the governor, the governor, and many bamboo tubes floated downstream, and there were letters of persuasion from the Sichuan army in them."

"How many times have I said it, I don't look at it, Liu Zhang has punished my Zhang family, do you want me Zhang Yun to surrender?" Zhang Yun swept away the tea lamp holder and bamboo slips on the desk, stared at the blood-red eyes and shouted, the young generals trembling all over the place, and said carefully: "However, the soldiers have seen it, now the people in the army are panicking, the food is getting less and less, and the soldiers are very dissatisfied. ”

"Pass the order, whoever dares to pick up those bamboo tubes will be beheaded immediately." Zhang Yun said loudly.

"Governor, I'm afraid this won't work." The young general said worriedly: "There are a lot of people to pick up, and they can't be killed, and the soldiers are not allowed to pick them up, or kill the soldiers, I'm afraid it will cause the soldiers to be uneasy, Governor, we must get an idea as soon as possible." ”

"Idea, what do I have in mind." The food is cut off, and there is no basis for retreat, Zhang Yun can only wait for news from the Jiangdong Army now, what other ideas can he have.

At this moment, a soldier came to report: "Report, last night the Sichuan Army and the Navy attacked the Jiangdong Army camp at the mouth of the Sanjiang River, the Jiangdong Army was annihilated, and Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai were captured alive. ”

"What?" Zhang Yun was taken aback, slapped the table and stood up and shouted, "How is it possible? There are as many as 20,000 Jiangdong troops, all of them are well-trained, what is the Sichuan army's navy, just the few broken ships and 800 brocade sails of the Sichuan army, can they defeat the Jiangdong army? ”

"No, Dudu, the Sichuan army first annihilated General Han De, pretended to be General Han De and mixed into the Jiangdong Army camp, lit fire in the center, and then besieged it on all sides, Sanjiang Port has been reduced to ashes, and the Sichuan army is more than a few thousand, there are more than 10,000 of our Jingzhou soldiers, and Yun Mengze's bandit Wei Wen, nearly 20,000 people."

Zhang Yun sat down all of a sudden, his face turned white, and once the Jiangdong Army died, what hope could he have? Do you want to starve to death in this water camp?

The young general hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and said, "Dudu, now we have only one way, surrender to Huang Zu." ”

"Huang Zu?" Zhang Yun muttered, and then shook his head: "Impossible, I have an enmity with Huang Zu, if I vote for him, the troops will be swallowed up by him, and they will be humiliated by him, besides, Jiangxia is weak, and it is difficult to resist the Sichuan army." ”

"But we have no other way, if the governor is unwilling to accept Huang Zu's anger, we can go to Jiangxia and contact Jiangdong again, it's not too late, when the time comes, take the opportunity to kill Huang Zu, it will be a great achievement."

Zhang Yun thought about it, his eyes lit up, he felt reasonable, and immediately said: "Okay, contact Huang Zu immediately, just say that Pontus Governor, no, just say that Zhang Yun is going to take refuge in him and beg him to be contained." ”

"Yes."

Zhang Yun rubbed his hands, and the young general was about to go out.

Another soldier rushed in: "The governor, the governor is not good, Jiangxia Huangzu led the whole county to surrender to Liu Zhang, and now the Jiangxia army has all withdrawn from Jiangxia City, and the Sichuan army has changed the defense, and the navy army has also been dispersed and incorporated by Wei Wen Ganning." ”

"What, what?" Zhang Yun was shocked, his lips moved, he was almost speechless, and two thunderbolts in a row completely chopped Zhang Yun's heart to death.

"Heaven will kill me, heaven will kill me." Zhang Yun was heartbroken.

"Now there's one last option." The young general said in a deep voice.

"What's the solution?" Zhang Yun sat up straight and looked at the young general, with eager anticipation in his eyes, staring nervously at the young general.

The young general glanced at Zhang Yun and said, "Lead the entire army and attack the Jiangxia army." ”

"What?" Zhang Yun was disappointed: "Are you crazy?" The Jiangxia Army commanded by Huang Zu has always been the front of the Jingzhou Naval Army, and it is the elite of the elite of the Jingzhou Naval Army. ”

The young general shook his head: "The last general didn't say to seize Jiangxia, we just need to grab a batch of grain and grass, now the Sichuan army has just taken over Jiangxia defense, and the Jiangxia Navy is the weakest time, as long as we attack with all our strength, we will definitely be able to win one or two camps, as long as we grab enough grain and grass to support a few days, we can go down the river and take refuge in Jiangdong." ”

Zhang Yun groaned, even as the young general said, it is extremely risky, to grab food? Just look at the group of soldiers outside who are weak and discouraged, and even if they defeat the Jiangxia Navy for one or two battles, they may not be able to grab food and grass.

But there is no other way, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, Zhang Yun has to give it a try.

"Okay, just do it."

"The most important task now is to straighten out the morale of the army."

"Gather the generals immediately."

Zhang Yun went to the grass outside the water camp and recruited a group of water army generals, the water army generals were listless one by one, their eyes were dull, they had heard the news of Jiangxia and Sanjiangkou, and they also understood the current situation.

This last Jingzhou army is really in a desperate situation.

"You're all cheering me up, what are you like?" Zhang Yun roared loudly: "Let me tell you, Ben Jiang has already thought of a way to get out of trouble, which is to attack Jiangxia Water Village, seize grain and grass, and take refuge in Jiangdong." ”

The generals were still glazed-eyed, and they all knew the navy well, so how could they not know the risk of attacking the Jiangxia army.

Zhang Yun saw the disheartened appearance of the generals, became more and more angry, and shouted: "You all listen to me, as long as we are united, there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome, otherwise it will ......"

Zhang Yun suddenly pointed to a place in the grassland: "You guys take a good look." ”

The generals looked along Zhang Yun's point, and saw a group of ants busy carrying food, in an orderly manner, with tacit understanding, and no complaints.

The generals were instantly deeply infected, and they couldn't help but feel ashamed, and they all cheered up.

At this time, Zhang Yun suddenly trampled the group of ants to death with one kick: "Otherwise, I will kill you as easily as killing this group of ants." Zhang Yun roared.

…… In Xiangyang Mufu, Cai Wei lay in Liu Zhang's arms, and Liu Zhang stroked Cai Wei's hair while reading the booklet.

A soldier came to report urgently: "Report to the lord, Zhang Yun was killed by his generals, and the general of the navy, Chen Hong, led the Jingzhou army to surrender." ”

Liu Zhang stood up suddenly.

Up to this time, Pang Tong's three strategies, sneaking into the Sanjiangkou, seizing Jiangxia, and forcing the Jingzhou Navy to surrender, were all realized, and under Huang Yueying's persuasion, they became more perfect.

At Gan Ning's proposal, Liu Zhang Feng Weiwen was the governor of the Jingzhou Navy Army, led Jiangxia Taishou, Huang Zu was the deputy governor, Gan Ning was the vanguard of the Navy Army, led the general Zhichong, Cai Mao was the general of the fighting ship, Chen Hong, Su Fei, Huang Shot, and Deng Long were each the general of the Navy Army, and the whole army of 100,000 people was stationed in Jiangxia, Xiangyang, Sanjiangkou, Wulin, Dongting Hukou and public security.

With the Jiangxia Sanjiangkou Naval Army as the main force, it defended Jingzhou and defended Jiangdong.

………… In the Xuchang Imperial Palace, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was ascending to the dynasty, a minister stood quietly in the middle of the main hall, Liu Xie put his hands on his abdomen, looked at the ground with dull eyes and said: "What Aiqing said is very appropriate, the influence of the Queen of the Evil Matai of the Japanese Kingdom is great, this time I came to the court, and offered tribute such as Japanese brocade, pearls, bows and arrows, which shows that the Japanese Kingdom attaches great importance to our Heavenly Dynasty, and should give back the gold seal and purple ribbon, as for the number ......"

Liu Xie was talking, suddenly a general came in, bowed to Xun Yu who was under the head, Xun Yu glared at the general fiercely, the general was stunned for a moment, and then turned to Liu Xie: "Report to Your Majesty, the clan thief Liu Zhang stole Jingzhou, killed Liu Biao, the assassin of Jingzhou, and killed more than 7,000 people of the clan in the southern suburbs of Xiangyang, implicated more than 50,000 people, and filled the Xiangjiang River with blood."

A few days ago, Liu Zhang integrated the Jingzhou naval army, obtained 80,000 naval troops, defended Jingzhou, rectified the infantry army of 150,000, and gathered in Xiangyang. ”

After the general finished speaking, the ministers were in an uproar, gasping one after another, frightened inexplicably, Jingzhou was broken, Xuchang was close at hand, and the ministers seemed to have seen Liu Zhang's butcher's knife on his neck, and they all showed fear.

"This, this, Aiqing, what do you say you should do?" Liu Xie asked as he sat on the dragon bed stiffly.

"What can be discussed here, Liu Zhang is powerful, I have to discuss with the generals of the Prime Minister's Mansion, go, and return to the Prime Minister's Mansion." A minister didn't say hello to Liu Xie, turned around and left.

This person's name is Hua Xin, when Sun Ce conquered Jiangdong, he was Yuzhang Taishou, and later surrendered to Sun Ce.

After Sun Ce was assassinated, regardless of Sun Quan's retention, he was recruited by Cao Cao with the order of the Son of Heaven, entered Xuchang, and was appointed as a councillor to participate in the military of Sikong.

Hua Xin is both a minister and a retainer of Cao Cao, as soon as he left, many officials immediately followed, and after a while, the entire hall was scattered, Liu Xie looked at this scene blankly, at a loss, some civil officials secretly wept, but did not dare to speak out.

Xun Yu sighed, bowed to Liu Xie, and only turned around and left after Liu Xie muttered "Scatter the Dynasty".

............ "I didn't expect Liu Zhang to take Jingzhou so quickly, Xiangyang to Xuchang is only a few days away, and now Xuchang is empty, how is it good." ”

"Yes, yes, how is it good."

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, all the left-behind civil officials were anxious.

A military general said loudly: "What is this, give me 10,000 soldiers and horses, and I will let the Sichuan army not enter Yuzhou." ”

A civil official said coldly: "Ten thousand? Now that Xuchang has no more than 3,000 soldiers and horses, where did the 10,000 come from, it seems that it can only be supported by the 30,000 embroidery troops in Wancheng. ”

"You don't have to worry." Xun Yu walked in from outside and said loudly: "I don't expect Liu Zhang to attack Xuchang." ”

"Oh, Lord Xun." The civil and military officers saluted Xun Yu, and one of the advisers said: "How can this be seen? Liu Zhang attacked Liu Biao, under the banner of robbing the Son of Heaven, Liu Biao refused to take the way, now that Liu Biao is destroyed, how could Liu Zhang not attack Xuchang? You must know that Yuzhou is almost an empty city now. ”

"yes, yes." All the civil and military forces echoed it.

Xun Yu said: "Princes, think about it, although Liu Zhang captured Jingzhou quickly, and his strength increased greatly after integrating the Jingxiang Water Army, he killed as many as 60,000 children of the clan, and the Xiangjiang River and the Yangtze River burst its embankment and flooded, causing countless victims.

Jingnan after Liu Pan and Zhang Yi's two-year war, Liu Zhang's sack, Liu Qi's army plundered, Fan Lixiang rose up, it was already a ruin, and the whole Jingzhou was full of thieves.

The Sichuan army has been fighting for more than half a year, and now Jingzhou has an unstable foundation, lack of grain and grass, tired soldiers, and the sworn enemy Jiangdong Army is fed outside. ”

"But." Cheng Yu frowned and said: "That being said, Liu Zhang's actions have always been unexpected, when 5,000 soldiers and horses fought Zhao Wei in Fucheng, 40,000 soldiers and horses attacked Tiandang Baishui, and 100,000 soldiers and horses under 400,000 land and water troops stationed in Jingxiang.

Wen Ruoyan can conclude that Liu Zhang will not lead the army to defeat the soldiers of Wancheng, and then lead the light army to raid, it doesn't take too much, only 10,000, so that the problem of grain and grass and soldier fatigue is solved, isn't it? With our current strength, Xuchang will definitely not be guaranteed. ”

"yes, yes." The retainers chimed in.

"Hahaha." Xun Yu laughed: "Zhongde is right, but Zhongde and Zhugong don't forget another thing, we are now confronting Yuan Shao, the current situation is, Yuan Shao is strong, we are weak, Liu Zhang and Fa Zheng as long as they are not fools, they will not understand that attacking us now is not the best time, is it good for them to let Yuan Shao easily win us?" ”

Cheng Yu thought for a while and nodded slowly: "Indeed, as Wen Ruo said, Liu Zhang's wisest approach now should be to take advantage of the confrontation between our army and Yuan Shaoguandu, recuperate, and stabilize Jingzhou, and wait for our army and Yuan Shao to decide the victory, and if our army wins, then attack our rear and delay us to collect the north. ”

Cheng Yu was very worried.

Xun Yu smiled faintly and waved his sleeves: "That's all for the future, at present, the most important thing for us is to fight the battle of Guandu." ”

The ministers dispersed, only Guo Jia stayed, his expression was solemn, Xun Yu frowned, knowing that Guo Jia could hit the nail on the head every time, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Feng Xiao, do you think my analysis is unreasonable?" ”

Guo Jia shook his head: "Wen Ruo's analysis is very reasonable, it's just." Guo Jia frowned: "Although it makes sense, I'm just worried that Liu Zhang will commit a crime in the north, so Wen Ruo should be prepared for emergencies." ”

Xun Yu nodded solemnly, "Fengxiao is right, a madman like Liu Zhang is not afraid of 10,000, just in case, but we really don't have adjustable troops now, if we have to guard ......" Xun Yu thought for a while: "In addition to General Lejin rectifying the soldiers and horses in Wancheng, I think that the army of Chang'an can only be transferred to the area of Qingni Pass, and if necessary, go to help Wancheng."

Alas, I didn't expect that Liu Zhang, the butcher, could really pacify Jingzhou, Liu Biao was really vulnerable, Liu Zhang was brutal and unkind, and he was the enemy of the world, and sooner or later he would be defeated, but at this stage, it was such a big threat to us, it was really hateful. ”

Xun Yu sighed, in his opinion, Liu Zhang has no way and will be defeated sooner or later, but at this time, he threatened Xuchang and made Cao Jun fall into passivity, just like a dying man who wants to pick up a kitchen knife and cut you at the moment when he returns to the light, which is really infuriating.
