Chapter 851

"Because of Yuan Shao's existence, our army and Liaodong are not contiguous, so the two armies can be friends. But once Yuan Shao is eliminated by Gongsun Du, Gongsun Du will not only expand his influence and swallow up Youzhou, but also join our army. Won't Gongsun Du's ambition not only plot a more prosperous Jizhou?"

Jia Xu talked with great eloquence, and Guo Jia and Xun you both showed their eyes.

Jia Xu turned to look at Liu Ye: "general, in my opinion, it's better to order Gongsun du to attack the Chinese thief Cao Cao. In this way, Gongsun can be dispersed and Youzhou will be more difficult to capture."

"But what if Gongsun Du deliberately pushed and dragged him and refused to send troops to Cao Cao?" Meng Jian frowned.

Jia Xu said with a smile: "no harm, it can also worsen the relationship between Gongsun Du and Cao Cao."

Liu Ye burst out laughing: "OK, we'll do it according to Wen he's will."

It's dark in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Kill!"

Thousands of Jingzhou soldiers, armed with steel knives, climbed on the ladder with their hands and feet, grasped the city's head and jumped up to fight with the "rebels" on the city's head.

"Brothers, kill the thief!"

"Who is the thief? It's just a righteous act for Taishou Zhang to fight against Liu Biao. You are the thieves who are black and white! "

The two sergeants fought each other, gnashing their teeth to eat each other. Jingzhou outside the city is constantly engaged in the battle, competing with the garrison at the head of the city for an inch of land,

Jingzhou can be roughly divided into two parts: Nanyang, Nanjun and Jiangxia in the north of Jingzhou, and Changsha, Lingling, Wuling and Guiyang in the South of Jingzhou. However, in terms of military strength, Jingbei is far superior to Jingnan.

You know, Nanyang County is now in the hands of the Xiliang army, guarded by general Zhang jaw himself. Therefore, there are only Nanjun and Jiangxia in Jingbei, which are only half of the four counties in Jingnan. Why is the military strength far superior to Jingnan?

In fact, Jingbei was the core of the state of Chu in the Warring States period. Although it was not as densely populated as the Central Plains, it was also culturally prosperous. But Jingnan four counties are different, the place is remote, the road is narrow, the population is sparse, the troops are not much.

Therefore, under the turbulent attack of Jingzhou army, Changsha City, which had been besieged for more than three months, was on the verge of falling. Rao Shi Zhang Xian had already used the young men in the city to supplement the soldiers, but still some of them could not resist.

"Siege, Siege!"

Liu Pan's eyes were red, and he personally supervised the army's attack under the city. He had been ordered to be the commander of Jingnan. Unexpectedly, the four counties of Jingnan suddenly turned against three counties, leaving only one county territory. Therefore, Liu Pan was more active than anyone in the fight against Jingnan.

Under the command of Liu Pan, the Jingzhou army stormed from the morning to the evening, killing the enemy on the head of the city. Because of the bad night battle, Liu Pan ordered the army to withdraw and return to the camp.

"Ha ha, Pan'er is doing well today. If it goes on like this, Changsha City will not be able to support it for a few days." Liu Biao said with a smile.

"Thank you, uncle. Five days at most! Pan must lead his troops to kill the city and recover Changsha! " Liu Pan clasped his fist and cheered.

Liu Biao caresses his beard and smiles. He has two sons, the eldest, Liu Qi, who is weak, and his second son, Liu Cong, is young. Therefore, Liu Biao doesn't appreciate it very much. Instead, he looks at his brave and fighting nephew. It's a pity that Liu Pan is not his own son no matter how brave he is. Otherwise, it would be a good choice for Liu Pan to inherit the great cause.

While the Jingzhou army outside the city was holding a celebration banquet, the city was filled with grief.

"Drag him down."

Two young men came forward and held up a wounded soldier one after another. The wounded soldier couldn't help but scream. The wound that had solidified on his body tore open again and made a scream.

The two young men had no choice but to comfort him and carry him to the wounded camp.

In the wounded soldiers' camp, there was a sound of scream. Some of the wounded soldiers were cut with a long cut. Although the blood was stopped temporarily, the pain made them restless. Even if these wounded soldiers had been treated, at least half of them would die.

Originally, the soldiers and civilians in the city who had followed Zhang Xian's rebellion also had some regrets for a moment. They had known that the casualties were so heavy that they did not join in the rebellion.

In the prefecture.

"Well, the casualties are so great that they can't be sustained if they go on like this."

Minister Zhang Xian paced back and forth, frowning.

"Father."

"Well? Ping'er, what's the matter? "

A young man rushed in, but it was Zhang Ping, the son of Zhang Xian.

"Father, Xiong's family refused to provide private soldiers and food for our army again," Zhang said

"What? Damn it

When Zhang Xian heard the speech, he couldn't help getting angry. The reason why he had the courage to fight against Liu Biao was because of the support of these big families in the city. If they were not willing to support themselves, would Linxiang city surely fall?

"These fools! When Linxiang city falls down, will Liu Biao forgive them if he knows that they are helping a rebellion "I'll go to them myself!" Zhang said angrily

Zhang Xian hasn't come out yet, a general outside the door shouts: "prefect, someone wants to see you.""Well? No

Zhang Xian waved his hand. Now he is going to persuade the big families in the city that even if the gods come, they don't want to see them.

"But, prefect, the man said he could save Changsha County."

"Well?"

When Zhang xiandun stopped, he stretched out his fingers and rubbed his chin. Then he opened his mouth and said, "in this case, I will bring him up."

"Here it is."

After a while, I saw a man walking in from the shadow outside the door. Although he was wearing a cloth dress, he had a kind of elegant temperament, as if he were a rich man.

"Lu Su in Changsha, I met the governor."

"Lu Su?"

Zhang Xian was stunned: "did you not turn to Lu Zijing of the sun family in Jiangdong?"

"It's me. According to the order of the Lord Gongsun, I came to help the governor. If the governor promised to cede the east of Linxiang to our army, our army could help him and defeat the Jingzhou army at one stroke. " Lu Su didn't slow down.

"What, east of Linxiang? It's a big appetite. "

Zhang Xian subconsciously objected, but Lu Su said with a smile: "I don't make jokes with the prefect. If there is no accident, how many days can the dilapidated city of Linxiang last?"

"This..."

Zhang Xian has the heart to say a few big words to support his momentum, but he really does not have the strength. If he goes on like this, the city will fall in a few days. I'm afraid he can only turn to the sun family in Jiangdong.

Zhang Ping, on the other side, was unconvinced: "it is said that the sun family of Jiangdong has been defeated by Prime Minister Cao in many wars. Can he still save Changsha?"

Lu Su said with a smile: "although our army has been defeated several times, it is not out of date. Today, there are still 20000 elite soldiers. Cao Cao has not been able to destroy our army. However, it is difficult for Zhang Taishou to be destroyed by Liu Jingzhou."

Under the threat of the Xiliang army, Cao Cao did not dare to exterminate Sun Quan in Jiangdong for a moment, so he had to lead his troops back.
