Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

At this time, a person outside the tent strode in, with phoenix eyes and sword eyebrows, tall and straight, and very good-looking, it was Xu Fang.

"Alphonse."

Wu Sheng got up abruptly, reached out his hand to suppress the drinking and laughing of the other generals, and asked impatiently, "How?"

Xu Fang shook his head and said, "The dead and wounded inside and outside the city, including ordinary people, have been searched and searched, but we still haven't found Yuan Shu's body."

Wu Sheng was greatly disappointed, thought for a while and asked again: "Will this fellow disguise himself and hide among those captives?"

"It's also possible," Xu Fang said, "Gu Jian is looking for it here, and there may be something."

"Let this kid be careful, don't miss anything!"

Seeing that Wu Sheng was anxious and troubled, Xu Fang looked solemn, but Wen Pin, Liu Chong and others beside him were smiling, as if they didn't take it seriously, Liu Chong even waved his hands carelessly and said: "Wu, Xu Why should the two generals be so cautious, the important matter has been decided, even if one Yuan Shu is gone, what can he do? The defeated generals are nothing to worry about."

Wu Sheng was furious, and he glanced at Liu Chong coldly, thinking in his heart: "If it weren't for your army horses and Yanzhou army not obeying restraint in the city, looting everywhere in the city, and causing chaos, this old man Yuan Shu How could the boy disappear inexplicably?"

Just as he was about to have a seizure, but he didn't say anything, another person came from outside the tent. He was seventeen or eighteen years old, of medium height, and he was wearing the armor meticulously. He moved with a sword cleanly and neatly.

Gu Jian entered the tent, without squinting, walked through the banquet, and walked vigorously to Wu Sheng and Xu Fang, "I have seen the two generals at the end."

"Lieutenant Gu, please sit down," Xu Fang waved his hand and asked in a deep voice, "How is the situation?"

"General, all those in the Yangzhou army who refused to surrender have been killed. There are seven generals above Dubo, 920 soldiers below Dubo, and 370 five defenders in the city. It was cut off, and all the heads of the city have been hung."

"Who asked you this?" Wu Sheng asked, "Did you find Yuan Shu?"

Gu Jian shook his head: "No."

Xu Fang asked: "Is there anyone among the captives who knows Yuan Shu's whereabouts? Let the news go on. If anyone can provide information, there will be a lot of rewards!"

"The final general has already done this, and even asked a few generals who were with Yuan Shu when the city was broken, but no one knew about it, and they all said that he didn't pay attention to it at that time, and Yuan Shu had disappeared when he came back to his senses. "

"Strange and weird"

Wu Sheng and Xu looked at each other face to face, and at the same time couldn't figure it out, Wu Sheng even muttered to himself: "I don't see people when I'm born, and I don't see a corpse when I'm dead. Where did this guy go?"

The whereabouts of Yangzhou Mu Yuanshu became an unsolved case at the end of the Han Dynasty, and it never appeared again. Until many years later, Runan and Jiujiang still had different opinions.

Some people said that he had already died in battle on the day Pingyu City was broken, otherwise if he had escaped, he would probably have sought help from the Yuan family at that time.

Some people also said that he didn't actually die, but he was disheartened by the defeat and had no ambitions anymore, so he kept his name incognito and lived deep in the valleys and forests.

Anyway, after the First World War in Pingyu, this powerful Marquis disappeared completely without a trace. Since then, no one has seen him again. What people saw was the Changing King Banner on the top of the city of Jiujiang and Runan.

On the city head of Jiujiang Shouchun, the golden "Yuan" flag over there slowly fell, and the red "Liu" flag printed on the other side raised the flag in the wind. However, everyone knows that the "Liu" Behind the character, there is actually a character for "Wang".

As for Runan, it was quickly divided up by the three forces. As agreed previously, Wang Zheng did not want every inch of land in the 37 cities and towns of Runan County. Liu Biao and Cao Cao would each get half of it. Cao Cao would get [-] cities in the north, and Liu Biao would occupy the south. Nineteen cities.

Of course, the ownership of the three cities that Liu Chong came to surrender this time is a matter between the three parties. Wang Zheng has no interest and no reason to participate.

But after being reminded by Guo Jia later, Wang Zheng suddenly discovered that he could not let go of other places in Runan, but he had to fight for only one city!
That is Shen County.

Whether it is by water or by land, Shen County is the necessary place for Runan County to go south to Jiujiang. Wang Zheng really can't hand over such an important throat.

But the problem is that the big words have already been uttered, so we can't renege on the contract again, right?

After thinking about it again and again, Wang Zheng finally thought of a way.

It is inconvenient for Shenxian to take the initiative, but if Shenxian "voluntarily comes to attach", Liu Biao will have nothing to say, right?
Immediately summoned the guards: "Let Liang Gang come to see this general immediately."

When the city was broken, Liang Gang fled back home. He took his family and wanted to escape, but he thought that Yuan Shu had always treated him kindly, so he ran to the palace and wanted to take Feng and Fan out of the city together. Not only was he unwilling to leave, but he also persuaded Liang Gang instead.

A woman who has changed her mind is the most frightening thing. Wang Zheng didn't say surrender to Yang Hong, but instead she persuaded Liang Gang. Not only did she finally give up her plan to escape, but she also chose to surrender to Wang Zheng.

Mrs. Feng is the mistress, and Liang Gang is the oldest general of the Runan Department in the city. The two of them took the lead in surrendering, and most of the remaining northern generals also surrendered. On the other hand, Gu Yong and others who were loyal to Yuan Shu's civil servants were also captured by Huang Zhong and Wei Yan.

Although Liang Gang is a "nobody" in Wang Zheng's eyes, the meaning of this person's surrender at this time is extraordinary. Wang Zheng treated him very courteously. Just today, he received a letter from Wu Sheng. It is said that Liang Gang came to see him.

Not long after, Liang Gang came into the hall, cupped his hands and asked, "I don't know if General Wang has summoned the last general, what can I order?"

After all, he was a newcomer not long ago, and because he was unwilling, his tone was a little strange and stiff. He neither wanted to be called "Master" nor "Zhou Mu". He bowed, looking very careless.

But Wang Zheng didn't mind, he helped him up with his own hands, and said softly: "There is a big event that needs to be labored by Lieutenant Liang."

"General Wang, please speak."

"Now that Shouchun has fallen, according to His Highness, the rest of Jiujiang's cities need to be restored as soon as possible."

"Why does General Wang still say that in front of me?" Liang Gang said in a low voice, "Nowadays, no one in Jiangdong knows that this birthday is clearly decided by General Wang!"

"Haha, at the banquet that day, I could see that the captain is a bold man." Wang Zheng didn't feel embarrassed at all, smiled and said, "It really is a quick talk."

"General Wang called the end of the future, what exactly is it for?"

Liang Gang said in a deep voice: "Please tell me frankly, since the general has obeyed his wife's words and surrendered to the general, he will strictly follow the military order. No matter what, as long as the general can do it, he will definitely go all out."

"Okay, since the captain said so, I won't go around any more." Wang Zheng said, "I made an alliance with Liu Biao before. If the big thing comes true, I can give him other places in Runan. I only need one place. .”

Liang Gang was also a veteran in the battlefield, he immediately understood what he said, and blurted out, "But Shen County to the north of Xiacai?"

"Exactly." Wang Zheng said seriously, "To enter Jiujiang from Shen County, one must pass through Xiacai. According to reports from the sentry, many defeated soldiers fled northward, and now many of them gathered in Shen County."

After a pause, Wang Zheng looked sideways at Liang Gang, and continued, "Most of these defeated soldiers are from the north, and perhaps some of them belong to Captain Liang's former unit. I wonder if it is possible to recruit these troops?"

Hearing this, Liang Gang already understood that recruiting defeated soldiers is the second priority. Wang Zheng's main purpose should be to hope to win Cai without a fight. After thinking for a moment, he said: "It's not difficult to recruit surrender, but."

"Just what?"

"After recruiting these troops," Liang Gang looked at Wang Zheng with an inexplicable light in his eyes and asked, "How to arrange them?"

"Haha, what is it supposed to be?"

Wang Zheng smiled and said: "Since Captain Liang was recruited to surrender, how to arrange them is naturally up to the captain. Of course, this general also has a suggestion. Now that the war has just stopped, it is better to stay still. After gathering these defeated soldiers , the school lieutenant will be placed on the spot in Shen County."

Hearing this, Liang Gang couldn't help but change his dull expression since he entered the palace, he raised his eyes to look at Wang Zheng, "General Wang's statement is true?"

Wang Zheng laughed and said, "Of course it is true."

"Shen County is a city on the border between Runan and Jiujiang. It is very convenient to go north and north. Wang Junzhou is not afraid that the last general will get this place, just in case."

Wang Zheng's face was calm, and he asked lightly, "What if?"

Liang Gang stared at Wang Zheng intently for a long time, seeing that the other party was smiling all the time, with a sincere expression on his face. Countless thoughts ran through his mind for a while, and suddenly he sighed, then fell to his knees on the ground, and bowed down.

That's it!

Wang Zheng was determined, but he pretended to be surprised on his face, he hurriedly stepped forward to help him up with his own hands, and asked, "What is the captain doing?"

"Zhou Mu treats each other with sincerity, how dare the general not repay him with sincerity?"

After Liang Gang got up, he said firmly, "There is no need for the state shepherd to ride and pawn, at most seven days, and the whole city of Shen County will be dedicated at the end!"

Seeing that Liang Gang had already left the hall, Qiao Wan who was at the side stepped forward with a worried expression and asked, "This Liang Gang is Yuan Shu's veteran minister, and he is a newcomer not long ago. No one knows what he really wants. Why are you so serious?" Promised him, not a single soldier, allowed him to ride to Shen County alone, and promised to hand over the city to him to guard after taking the city?"

"It is true that this person came to me more because of the force of the situation, but because of this, we should not try to win over me with words or money."

Wang Zhengdao: "If you don't influence people with sincerity, sometimes the simplest means are the most effective."

"But the military report sent by Runan just now." Qiao Wan hesitated and said, "Yuan Shu's body was not found in Pingyu City. If there are 1 people, he is still alive. Liang just heard the news and went to vote for the old master?"

"Then let him go." Wang Zheng smiled and said, "If this general treats each other with sincerity and he still wants to join Yuan Shu, then he should be a gentleman and be a man of beauty."

"Anyway, there is not much loss left and right, and now Xu Fang and Wu Shengbu are in Runan. If Liang Gang really changes after he gets Shen County, it's not that I can't stop him!"

Speaking of this, he ordered his left and right: "Here to send an order, and Xu Fang's troops will return to Pengcheng, but Wu Sheng's troops don't have to rush back to Xuzhou for the time being, and go directly to Longkang in Peiguo. First, defend against the defeated soldiers and go north, and second, against Liu Biao of Jingzhou!"

Now that Yuan Gonglu was defeated, apart from taking the time to snatch the other party's inheritance, Wang Zheng had already focused on guarding against Zeng Jin's allies.

The so-called gluttony can't be chewed. The frequent wars in the past few years have indeed exhausted Xuzhou's resources, so Wang Zheng has not considered reaching out to the north for the time being.

But he didn't want to go north, and he had to be wary of someone who lacked support and wanted to go south because he was looking forward to Shu!

Jingzhou, Xiangyang.

After receiving the news that Liang Gang had seized Shen County, Liu Biao was silent for a moment, looked around the crowd, smiled and said, "Since it was acquired by Wang Yukou, let's give it to him."

"This stick is really an unbelievable villain!"

Liu Biao was not angry, but Cai Mao's face turned red with anger: "When he asked me to attack Yuan Shu in Jingzhou, he said that he would not take an inch of land in Runan. Why, now he has turned his face and refused to admit it? My lord, this time What can't be tolerated!"

"I can't bear it, how do you treat it?" Liu Biao glanced at Cai Mao lightly, and asked, "Should we still join forces with him to retake Shen County?" "

"Why not?"

Cai Mao shouted loudly: "Zhuzi lost the alliance first, we are famous teachers, besides, he has just won Shouchun now, Jiujiang has not established a solid foundation, so he just robbed him, how can he be our opponent? "

Zhang Yun on the side also echoed: "Shen County is the throat of Yangzhou and the hub to the south of Runan, but it is so easy for Xuzhou to go, given time, it will become a serious trouble!"

At this moment, one person said with a long smile, "Don't be impatient, please be safe. My lord is actually right. Although Shen County has been taken by Wang Zheng, it is said that Liang Gang took the initiative to submit to the outside world. My lord and this son are now friends." Allies, rashly taking it by force is quite inappropriate."

The speaker was Kuai Liang, the number one counselor under Liu Biao's account.

"What's wrong?" Cai Mao's expression darkened immediately, and he said displeasedly, "This Zhuzi himself broke the alliance first, so we still have to take morality into consideration?"

Kuai Liangdao: "The problem is that my lord's current enemy is not Wang Zheng, but Cao Cao who occupies Yingchuan and watches over Nanyang!"

"Brother, younger brother dare not agree with this statement."

At this time, another person came out, which was Kuai Liang's younger brother Kuai Yue, "It is true that Cao Cao has the heart to invade Nanyang, but because of the emperor's edict, he and Yuan Benchu ​​are now at odds, and Ji and Yan are neighboring countries. The two sides have stationed heavy troops in the border cities, and seeing that internal strife is about to start, he is too busy to take care of himself, so what is there to worry about, my lord?"

Speaking of this, Kuai Yue bowed and said to Liu Biao, "Wang Yukou has now occupied Jiujiang and many cities in Lujiang. If he is allowed to develop, the unification of Yangzhou is just around the corner. This wolf's ambition will definitely plot against me at that time. county"

"Since there will be a battle sooner or later, why don't we take advantage of this time to attack first!"

"Second brother's words are wrong." Kuai Liang shook his head and said, "The so-called one moment is also the other moment."

"If Wang Zheng hadn't entered Jiangdong, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao might really have fought a war. Now that this son has obtained Shouchun and has such a strong enemy by his side, the conflict between the two will probably be postponed, especially compared to Yuan Shao, although Cao Cao With the Son of Heaven in hand, the power is quite different, so they will be more eager to expand their strength!"

"So what we need to be most vigilant about right now is this man's Yanzhou army!"
