Xiangyang City early in the morning

The gates of the city were opened, and the rows of shops and houses began to open, but there were few pedestrians in the streets, when suddenly, there was a sound of walking on the east side of the city.

It wasn't loud, but it immediately silenced the whole street.

It's not a short time here, and everyone knows that this kind of sound is the sound of the Shu army marching neatly.

Then the ground trembled faintly, and a large number of soldiers with sharp weapons swarmed in, and everyone was frightened.

However, the soldier did not disturb the shop premises, and rushed straight to the gate of a mansion, and before he could open the door, he kicked it open and pounced on it.

"Bold, this is Zhang's Mansion, who dares to come here to spread wild? You things, are you eating bear-hearted leopards? Why don't you get out quickly!" Zhang's doorman, seeing a group of soldiers surrounding the mansion, was startled at first, and then the shame of being kicked made him react immediately, and immediately reprimanded loudly.

Zhang Zhang is a county inheritance, and there are hundreds of slaves in the house, even if the owner has changed now, it is still a county inheritance, and the Shu army is very polite to him, and at this time he saw the officers and soldiers breaking in, and everyone in the house was shocked and angry.

"I came here on the orders of General He, I have something important to see Master Zhang, can he be in the mansion?"

Looking up and down, it seemed that it was a team, and seeing that the situation was a little wrong, Menzi was a little surprised and a little frightened, and no longer shouted: "My lord is naturally in the house, you are waiting here, I will see if the adult will see you............

As he spoke, the door was about to close.

"No need. Unexpectedly, the team said coldly: "Since Zhang Tang is in the house, it is enough, kill it!"

The soldiers replied in unison: "No!"

Rush in.

"Hey, what are you doing, do you have to get up...... Ah!" I saw that this man was slashed twice in a row, and he staggered backwards and fell out.

When he fell to the ground, he was not out of breath, but his body couldn't move, his eyes were just wide open, staring at the sky, and his face was full of disbelief!

"Someone, murder,

"Ahh

At this time, the incessant screams soon attracted the guards of the mansion, and under the leadership of a butler, the housekeepers poured out, all armed with sticks.

When the chief manager rushed to the front with his people, his face suddenly changed when he saw the scene in front of him: "You dare to kill people indiscriminately in Zhang's mansion!

Before he could finish speaking, the team leader was coldly holding up a text: "Today, Zhang Tang colluded with foreign enemies and committed great rebellion, the evidence is conclusive, the Lord has an order, and the door will be destroyed!"

After reading these words, the team was coldly shouting: "Kill or kill!"

As he spoke, he pulled out the knife violently and stabbed at the butler, only to hear the sound of "poof, the long knife stabbed in from the front, and the sharp came out from the back."

Blood spurted out of the chief manager's mouth, and he struggled to say something, but he was pulled by a knife, and he only listened to "plop...... With a bang, the body fell to the ground, and he was angry

"Surround this mansion, not even a bird will want to fly out!"

"Kill, kill them all, and leave not a single one of them!"

As soon as the shouts rang out, the screams followed.

It was only after a moment that it stopped.

"The team is right, and I have killed Zhang Tang all over the door!"

"Tell the Lord and your lord. Hearing this, the team ordered: "Count the number of people!"

Hundreds of meters apart, there was a carriage, and there was a person sitting in this carriage, it was Zhang Youzhi, surrounded by several hundred households of the thirteen divisions, who had already heard the news inside, he snorted coldly and lowered the curtain.

The Duke of Shu has never taboo killing, especially for this kind of person who surrenders first and then rebels.

Wu land, Chengxiang County

Shouting to kill, dozens of thick smoke rose in the city, the city wall had already been broken, the Wu army poured in like a tide, killing people when they saw them, and for a while, the sound of killing was everywhere.

Zuo Tangzhen was wearing a wide robe, holding a sword in his hand, and stood in the courtyard under the protection of more than a dozen personal soldiers.

These dozen or so pro-soldiers, covered in blood, stood in front of the lord with knives, preparing for the last battle.

At this time, the chaotic footsteps came towards here, shouting and killing everywhere, and after a while, the surroundings returned to peace.

Zuo Tangzhen stopped the words of the soldiers with his eyes, and stared at the courtyard gate sharply.

Bang, with a loud bang, the gate collapsed under the impact of a tree trunk, and a group of soldiers holding shields appeared in Zhang Tang's sight.

At this time, it was dawn, and the sun appeared on the horizon, and at this moment, it seemed that there were only three horizontal lines outside the door, and red blood seeped into the ground.

"Youtang Zhenzuo is handsome?" the general who rushed in stared at him: "Sure enough, he is worthy of being the guard of the feudal town, and at this point, he can still maintain his color!"

"Just now, Ben Shuai already knew the inside story, but unfortunately it was a step too late...... mistakenly believed in Zhou Xin, a traitor, and ended up like this, Ben Shuai had nothing to say. Zuo Tangzhen said lightly, when he was on the verge of death, such generals put life and death aside, and his bearing was calm, which made people admire.

"This is not just Zhou Xin's opening the door, King Wu's army is gathered, the four towns are swept away, and there is only one lonely city left in the handsome, who doesn't think about the way back? "At this point, the adults are willing to be arrested, and come with me to my house to ask for guilt, or I can save my life. This will be a little impressed by Zuo Tangzhen's bearing, and said persuasively.

Zuo Tangzhen looked up to the sky and laughed, and stopped for a moment: "In the past, when I heard that my father-in-law hit and killed the temple pillar, I still regretted it...... Although he admired him at that time, he didn't think that he would be like this, but now, Ben Shuai feels that the eldest husband has done something and has not done something, and he has been stabbed in front of him, and then he asks for surrender, won't he become a person who steals his life?"

As he spoke, the long sword in his hand swiped it, blood splattered, and the corpse fell to the ground.

The soldiers behind him, seeing this scene, shouted: "Lord, I'll go with you!"

As the words fell, these pro-soldiers carved their swords one after another, and suddenly more than a dozen people were lying on the ground, and the entire courtyard was so quiet that even the sound of everyone's breathing could be heard clearly.

This will sigh: "It's a pity, it's a pity...... Tell the king about this!"

The Wu army that entered the city began to take over the affairs of the city, and after listening to the report of the sergeant, Wei Yue, the king of Wu, only said lightly: "This is fine." ”

But he didn't take this matter to heart, more joy, so far, the last town was pacified, Wu Di was unified, and he could free his hands.

After Zuo Tangzhen was destroyed, the mansion was quickly cleaned, and Wei Yue, the king of Wu, was stationed here.

Zuo Tangzhen is a person who can enjoy it, and the mansion is naturally built beautifully, even Wei Yue, who has lived in the palace for a long time, can't help but sigh.

At this time, he was in the bamboo courtyard, and in the small pavilion, Zhou Ji, who came with the army, was playing chess with the lord.

"My lord, it's time for you to settle down. After Zhou Ji left a son, he waited for a while, and saw that Wei Yue was still thinking, so he couldn't help but smile and asked, "The lord is thinking about the ship?"

"The situation in Jiangling is urgent!" Wei Yue fell down and sighed lightly: "But the ship matter is still too slow, it would be nice to be faster." ”

"The lord doesn't have to worry too much, although the Shu army sailors went to Xiangyang, but there are 3,000 sailors in Jiangling, and it won't take too long to renovate the civilian ships, just send soldiers first. Zhou Ji said persuasively.

"It's been done. It was impossible for Wei Yue not to think of this, but when he thought of the Duke of Shu, he was awe-inspiring.

"Sir, what do you think of the Duke of Shu?"

Zhou Ji saw the jealousy of the people in front of him for the Duke of Shu, thought for a moment, and said: "Although the land of Shu is flat, after the chaos, the population is insufficient, and the stamina is slightly inferior. ”

"The Duke of Shu is quite strategic, and he knows how to use soldiers, Shu is insufficient, and he can make up for it with the few counties in Jingzhou that he has obtained so far, which is really worrying!"

When Wei Yue heard this, he sighed and said, "I have to say, although this son is young, he is really my great enemy!"

For the first time from Wei Yue's mouth, when he heard the admiration for Wang Hongyi, Zhou Ji was a little surprised

"Lord, the Marquis of Chu is in Jingnan, and he may not be holding the intention of making a profit for a scumbag. ”

"Zheng Pingyuan?" When the name was mentioned, Wei Yue snorted: "This person has some luck, some determination, and some foundation in Jingnan, but that's all." ”

"The only thing worth paying attention to is that the 20,000 sailors mastered by this person are now in the general trend, and there is no room for this person, so this person is no longer afraid. Wei Yue said with a sneer.

"Besides, the Duke of Shu, now that he has Shangyong, Xincheng, Xiangyang, Nanyang and other counties, he already has the foundation for expanding the water division, but I am afraid that the water division will expand by tens of thousands, which is more than enough. ”

"According to the news sent back, all the counties are training their troops, and there are already 30,000 troops, and only in Xiangyang City, there are 20,000 surrendered troops, and now in the hands of the Duke of Shu, I am afraid that there are at least 100,000 troops available......

"The general trend of the Duke of Shu can no longer allow him to continue to develop, and the day of the decisive battle cannot be delayed any longer. Wu Wang Wei Yue fell again, and said in a light tone: "After leveling the five towns, the soldiers are tired, this king originally wanted to repair, but he didn't treat me from time to time!"

"Gu has mobilized 10,000 water divisions and sent them to Jiangling, and ordered the Zheng Plain coalition army to gather 40,000 water divisions, for today's plan, only when Shu Guogong's training was not successful, he broke his water division in one fell swoop, so that he could be broken one by one. ”

Zhou Ji was awe-inspiring, once the Shu army failed in this battle, it would be difficult for Jingbei to maintain, and similarly, if King Wu failed in this battle, there would be no strength to suppress Wang Hongyi, and once Wang Hongyi annexed the entire Jingzhou, it would be difficult for Wu to maintain.

This is a battle to bet on the fortunes of the country.

I saw two dragon qi rising to the sky, each dragon circling, all showing the appearance of the king, these two dragon qi, now circling and competing, have been getting closer and closer, and began to compete fiercely with each other.

June 17, 16th year

King Wu ordered 20,000 Wu army sailors to set off in full gear, and carried 30,000 elite infantry, led by himself to Jiangling, and ordered Zheng Pingyuan to raise troops to serve the king with the order of the holy decree.

Zheng Pingyuan responded immediately, and even the last county in Jingnan was not defeated, so he raised 20,000 sailors and gathered in Jiangling.

Wang Hongyi personally led an army of 70,000 troops to force Jiangling.

On the 26th, they reached the mouth of the Liujiang River and boarded the naval warship.

A life-and-death battle on an unprecedented scale is about to unfold on the Gangneung River.
