Chapter 337

A few miles to the west of Quanling, there is Xishan Mountain, which is only forty or fifty feet high, stretches for several miles from the south to the north, and complements the endless deep water.

In the setting sun, Zhangjin and Jiaozhou generals stand on the peak of Xishan Mountain, looking to the north, looking over the open fields like a stone, and the spring mausoleum with few people in the city...the focus is fixed on the Hunan and Shenshui.At this moment, on the deep waters of Xiang and Shen, warships are gathering, sails and masts cover the sky, banners cover the sun, and drums are beating like thunder, shining brightly on the Sichuan and land.

When all the generals in Jiaozhou saw the scale of Liu Jing's warships, their hearts sank, and their faces were extremely solemn. The fighting spirit aroused by Zhang Jin's wish to appoint an official earlier couldn't help being shaken.

The scouts had described Liu Jingjun's powerful military appearance before, but Zhang Jin believed that Liu Jing was just bluffing. He gained a foothold by gathering the remnants of Changsha's defeated generals. Not more than ten thousand people.

However, the Liu Jingjun that everyone saw now obviously did not match what Zhang Jin said before.

Zhang Jin was calm on the surface, but he was in doubt in his heart. How could Liu Jing have such strength?The only reasonable explanation is that he incorporated Liu Biao into the army.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jin regretted unceasingly. If he hadn't caught Liu Jing's plan to slow down his troops, but had led the army to the north quickly, he might have all occupied Ling and Guangxi now. .

Zhang Jin looked around and found that the generals were greatly shocked and their hearts were fluctuating. He said, "don't worry, gentlemen, Liu Jingxiaoer is only one county and one county. It is impossible to have so many warships under his command. If I expect it to be correct , it must be that they are afraid of our soldiers and take the risk of recruiting Liu Biao's soldiers to strengthen their momentum."

The generals felt reasonable when they heard the words, and they settled down a little. Zhang Jin continued to say: "Masters, Liu Jing'er is a small pawn, guarding against suspicious people. Although his strength is large, he has a superficial appearance, how can he compare with our real tiger and wolf division?" ? As long as we work together, we will surely win the battle!"

All the generals looked at each other and bowed respectfully: "I wish to be driven by the emperor to attack Liu Jing and recover Ling and Gui..."

"Everyone, work hard..." Zhang Jin turned his attention back to Xiang and Shenshui again, and there was a hint of deepness in his long and narrow eyes.

…………

Hundreds of warships of Liu Jing's army gathered on the north bank of the Xiangshui River.The defense of the city has always been the most taboo, so after Chu Fang, Cai Sheng, and Xi Zhen led their troops to Quanling on that day, they were divided into two. The rest of them set up a battalion on the north bank of the Xiangshui River, forming an angle with Quanling.

Liu Jing got off the boat and boarded the north bank of the Xiangshui River, and found that besides Chu Fang, Cai Sheng who was supposed to be in Quanling City was there to greet him.

Liu Jing didn't care about Cai Sheng's leaving without authorization, took his hand, and said: "Zhang Jin came here with all the people from the whole state, with the heart of annexing Zero and Gui. Although he is not as good as Liu Jingsheng, he is also the enemy of Jingnan. We Enduring for several months, recruiting troops and accumulating military strength, but until the time of dispatching troops, there is still no certainty of victory in my heart..."

Cai Sheng smiled and said: "Liu Jun and Zhang Jin have never met, only heard of his momentum, but not the truth. Zhang Jin is based in Nanzhou and has the masses. He looks powerful, but in fact he is a mediocre person. With Liu Jun's bravery and decisiveness, he used troops Like a god, unparalleled in the world, how difficult is it to lose?"

Liu Jing nodded and said with a smile: "On the way to the south, Wen Hongchao sneaked out of the tunnel to counterattack with only a few hundred soldiers, and defeated the Jiaozhou army several times. Only then did I know that Zhang Jin is strong outside and middle-ranking, and there is nothing to fear."

Cai Sheng took the initiative to invite the battle: "I have been fighting with the Jiaozhou army for a long time, and I am familiar with its reality. In the decisive battle, Mr. Liu may as well use me as the first to ascend. I will cut off the head of Zhang Jin and present it to Mr. Liu."

Liu Jing said with a smile: "The power of Hongchao is indispensable in this battle."

Cai Sheng was about to speak again, when he suddenly saw a man wearing a red headband and a crown, dressed in exquisite armor, walking towards him with a proud face.Cai Sheng's eyes couldn't help concentrating, the person who came was Gan Ning and Gan Xingba. Back then he ruled Changsha with his swordsmanship. He was never invincible. He thought that with this swordsmanship, he could conquer the world. Who knew that when he left Changsha, he was defeated by Gan Ning This is the first and only defeat in his life, which he still can't let go of.

He returned to Changsha, listened to Gan Ning's advice, abandoned the sword, turned to swords and spears, his martial arts became more and more sophisticated, and now he is a fierce general who keeps pace with Chu Fang and Han Guang. Heart.

Of course, Cai Sheng has long since shed the valiant and ruthless street knight-errant habits of the past, and now he is more inclined to make meritorious deeds in the battlefield than to fight alone.

Gan Ning clasped his fists and said, "Brother Cai, are you safe?" Looking at the handsome and energetic Cai Sheng, Gan Ning's eyes were full of envy.

In terms of martial arts, Cai Sheng is inferior to him, and in thesis, the two are even more incomparable. But four years have passed, and he wasted years in Nanyang, while Cai Sheng rose up with Liu Jing in Jingnan, defeated Liu Biao in the north, and controlled Zhang Jin in the south. It is obvious that the famous general of Chu State will carry on.

There is such a big difference in the circumstances of the two because of the fact that Liu Jing, the "bole", Zhou Bozhibo, Fan Kuai butchering dogs, Guanying dealer Zang, Lou Jing pulling carts, etc., were all humble and mediocre people in the past. When he met Liu Bang, the great ancestor, he immediately rose to the top of the sky, became a marquis and a general, and made great achievements.Fortunately, although Gan Ning was one step late, it was not too late.

"Brother Gan..." Cai Sheng clasped his fists in return. "Liu Junsu attaches great importance to Brother Gan's talent. As the saying goes: "Gan Xingba has both civil and military resources, and he is really a first-class hero in the world. Liu Jingsheng will be laughed at by the world in the future." Now that Brother Gan is here to vote, Liu Jun must accept With heavy responsibility."

Gan Ning said with a smile: "Mr. Liu used Fubo as a metaphor for Ning. Although Ning is dull, he also admires the ancients. Jun Liu has a broad outline, similar to Fu Gao and the world. He has always had the heart of revitalizing the Han Dynasty and the ambition of clarifying the world. We should do our best to wipe out the gangsters for Liu Jun, restore the world, and revive the country."

"Beautiful outline, the same as Fu Gao and Shi?" Liu Jing couldn't help but glance at Gan Ning. This sentence comes from "East View of Han Ji" and "Ma Yuan Biography".Back then, Ma Yuan, as the envoy of Kaixiao, went to Beijing to meet Emperor Guangwu, not only leaving behind "in today's world, not only the emperor chooses his ministers, but also the ministers choose the emperor." The emperor has his own truth."

Since Liu Xiu had already proclaimed himself emperor at that time, and most of the world was at peace, there was no problem with Ma Yuan saying that he was the same as Gaozu.However, Liu Jing is now only the prefect of a county, but Gan Ning said that he is the same as Gaozu and Shizu, which is overstepping.

This should not be true, nor should it be refuted. Liu Jing had to pretend not to hear it, changed the topic, and then entered the camp under the guidance of Chu Fang.

Soon, Liu Jing summoned all the generals under his command in the big tent in the army, including Huan Yi, Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, Lai Gong, Yu Zheng, Liu Zong, Liu Cheng, Chen Jin, Huang Wu, Liu Liang, Chu Fang, Cai Sheng, etc. , Ma Zhou, Han Guang, A Pu, Shan Ridun, Ou Xiong, Ou Sheng, Gan Ning, Feng Xi, Gao Xiang, Huo Du, Huo Jun, Wei Yan and more than [-] people.

It was by relying on these people that Liu Jing was able to control an army of tens of thousands of water steps.
