Thanks to the helpless instant noodle boy for a monthly ticket!

Zhuge Jin and Zhang Zhao glanced at each other, and said together: "The king is wise!" ”

Immediately, Zhang Zhao asked for an order: "Your Majesty, let me go down and talk to Liu Zhang's envoy about this matter!" ”

Sun Jian nodded and said, "Okay!" It's up to Zibu to handle this matter! Remember, don't reveal the slightest plan for our army to go south! ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured! Wake up! ”

Sun Jian said to Zhuge Jinpan: "Just worry about Ziyu, you are responsible for preparing grain and grass, and at the same time contact with all the scholars and merchants, so that they can all contribute some strength!" ”

"Yes! The minister will not be dishonored! Zhuge Jin promised.

Sun Jian said to Sun Ce again: "Bo Fu, you and the two generals Han Dang and Zu Mao led the 100,000 elites stationed in Xiakou and Chaisang to go south to Liyang immediately, waiting for orders at any time!" ”

"Yes!" Sun Ce clenched his fists and promised.

"Later, you go and inform General Cheng Pu and let him be responsible for recruiting and training new troops in the counties and counties of Jiangdong, there is no upper limit to the number, the more the better!"

Sun Ce responded and retreated into the column.

At this time, Zhuge Jin said worriedly: "Your Majesty, if you recruit new troops without restrictions, I am afraid that the finances of my Wu State will not be able to support it!" ”

Sun Jian said: "I don't know that this will increase the financial burden of my Dawu, but my Dawu has no choice at present!" In addition, the southern expedition to the South China Sea and Jiaozhou believes that it can bring a lot of income! If it gets to the worst."

A cold light flashed in Sun Jian's eyes, and he said coldly: "Aren't there still so many scholars and merchants? ”

Zhuge Jin and Zhang Zhao couldn't help but be shocked, but they felt helpless.

On the same day, Zhuge Jin informed Liu Zhang's envoy of Sun Jian's decision to abandon the northward march. Liu Zhang's envoy was shocked, and immediately sent a flying pigeon to Xichuan to pass the book.

Before the evening of the next day, the flying pigeon was delivered to Liu Zhang's hands. After Liu Zhang read the biography, he was silent for a long time. That night, Liu Zhang also sent an order to Zhang Ren, who was heading towards Yangzhou.

The next morning, Zhang Ren gathered 80,000 elites under his command before the landing point that was about to arrive, and was swearing on the ship.

Just as Zhang Ren was talking lively, a herald hurriedly came to Zhang Ren's side. After whispering a little, he presented Liu Zhang's order, and after Zhang Ren read the order, his face changed greatly.

A general on the side noticed the change in Zhang Ren's expression, and couldn't help but ask urgently: "General, what happened?" ”

Zhang Ren frowned, rushed to the stage to prepare to land, and the soldiers who attacked Yangzhou raised their voices: "Due to some things, the westward expansion plan has been canceled!" ”

The soldiers couldn't help but make an uproar.

Zhang Ren glanced at the messy scene. He motioned to the drummer next to him to beat the drum.

The drums of war rang out, and the scene soon fell silent.

Zhang Ren raised his voice with a displeased face and shouted: "You are my Han soldiers, what kind of system is such a noise!" Go back and wait for orders! ”。 After speaking, he got off the platform and returned to the cabin.

"General. What's going on nearby? One of the generals asked impatiently.

Zhang Ren sighed and said helplessly: "Sun Jian suddenly gave up his plan to go north to Yangzhou. His Majesty was worried that our army would not gain more than it would lose by going deep alone, so he ordered Ben to stop the northward march into Shinno. Then the plan to attack Nanyang! ”

After a pause, he continued: "In addition, Your Majesty and the Prime Minister are worried that Cao Cao of Wei will be unfavorable to my Han because of this, so they ordered me to scatter the army back to China!" ”

Then the general couldn't help but be surprised: 'How could such a thing happen?' ”

Zhang Ren shook his head, his heart was full of unwillingness, it was like this again and again, Zhang Ren's heart at this time could be described as extremely tired, and at this time he suddenly envied Jing Han!

Although Jing Han seemed to be about to perish at this time, at the very least, they had been fighting through Wei for the revival of the Han Dynasty, not like the imperial court they were loyal to, and the Northern Expedition again and again was ultimately anticlimactic!

And just when Zhang Ren was unwilling to give the order to retreat back to China, the city of Changsha in the south of Jingzhou was also fighting inspiringly.

At this time, the Wei army has been storming for three days, the city head is full of gunsmoke, from a distance, the city wall is covered with mottled traces of various colors, all kinds of broken siege equipment are scattered under the city wall, some are still emitting wisps of white smoke, the corpses of the soldiers on both sides are piled up like a mountain, and the blood-like sunset is dotted on this land, and the eyes are full of tragic scenes.

Cao Cao glanced at the scene, couldn't help but sigh, and said to the herald beside him: "Mingjin collects the troops!" ”

Wei's golden bell rang loudly, and the soldiers of the Jing Han army couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Back in the big tent, Ma Chao scolded angrily: "The puppet Han army is really tenacious, our army has burst into the city several times, but they have been pushed down by their people!" ”

Cao Cao sat down on the main seat, and said with a somewhat gloomy expression: "It seems that Liu Qi is really planning to fight me to the death in Changsha!" ”

Cao Cao turned his head and asked Guo Jiadao: "Fengxiao, what are the casualties of our army?" ”

Guo Jia replied: "In the past three days, our army has suffered more than 30,000 casualties, but the number of casualties of the puppet Han army is only a lot more!" ”

Cao Cao frowned: "I don't want to lay the corpses of hundreds of thousands of soldiers under the city wall after taking Changsha!" Fengxiao, how many oil tanks are there in the barracks at the moment? ”

Guo Jia immediately replied: "At present, there are only 3,000 oil tanks in the barracks!" Plus, 20,000 canisters of fire oil are on their way here! ”

Cao Cao thought for a moment, slapped the case suddenly, and said resolutely: "Tomorrow, these 3,000 oil canisters will be used intensively!" I don't believe I can't break through Changsha City! Then he said to Gan Ning: "Xingba, tomorrow the soldiers under your command will storm the north gate from the north!" Onslaught at all costs! Be sure to draw the forces of the puppet Han army to the north as much as possible! ”

"Your Majesty, don't worry!" Gan Ning made a promise, and his eyes shone with excitement.

Cao Cao nodded, and then said to Ma Chao: "An hour after Xingba launched an attack, Meng Qi, you led a group of soldiers to attack the West City Gate!" ”

"The last general will live up to His Majesty's high expectations, and will definitely lead the soldiers to be the first to capture the city gate of Changsha!" Ma Chao proudly hugged his fist for a year.

Gan Ning snorted coldly, glared at Ma Chao-for-tat and said, "Do you have the courage to compare yourself with your Grandpa Gan and me?" ”

Ma Chao snorted coldly, and said proudly at the corner of his mouth: "I'm afraid you won't dare!" ”

Gan Ning patted his chest and said angrily: "The loser defeats the other party in public as a brother!" How is it? ”

"Good! That's it! ”

"Rejoice! Let's high-five!

Immediately, the two of them high-fived and swore in public, and the two of them hugged their fists together at Cao Cao and said, "Please testify to Your Majesty!" ”

Cao Cao laughed and said with a happy face: "I also long for one more wonderful thing under my command!" (To be continued......)
