Xiaoguangong

Chapter 140 Deadly Fire
According to Le Jin and Xu Huang's dispatch, it took only three days for Cao Jun's army to complete the preparations, and began to march southward aggressively.

Because it is by land, and it is difficult to travel in the mountains, Le Jin and Xu Huang suggested to build a transfer station every [-] miles on the land, so that the soldiers escorting food and grass can rest for a while, and it can also prevent some barbarians from taking advantage of their wealth and robbing them. logistics.

Of course, Xiahou Dun is very supportive of this suggestion. During the Battle of Guandu, the two armies kept destroying each other's grain roads. Guan Yu, who was in ambush, did not dare to confront Le Jin and Xu Huang head-on. In all likelihood, he would loot the grain roads again. , you have to guard carefully at that time.

In order to protect the situation, Xiahoudun ordered all the last few remaining naval forces to be assembled and unified under the command of Yunshan. The army began to gather towards Dangyang continuously, and a battle aimed at breaking through Jiangling was about to begin.

Zhou Yu in Jiangling also obviously felt the tremendous pressure.

It has been almost five months. Although he broke through Yiling and other places in the west of Jiangling City, and inflicted heavy losses on Cao Jun many times in the battle under the city, Wu Jun's siege still made little progress.

After breaking through Yiling, General Gan Ning returned, and Zhang Fei under Liu Bei's army was temporarily restrained by Zhou Yu. The appearance of these two fierce generals made Cao Tianren unable to display the terrifying combat power that he had previously mowed grass among the ten thousand armies, but Cao Hong was injured. Yu also gave Cao Ren great support.

Now the fighting between the two sides is getting more and more fierce. Every morning when Zhou Yu wakes up, he secretly vows to break the city today, but at dusk, he still finds in despair that the city of Jiangling is tall and majestic, and the tide-like offensive of the Wu army is endless every day. Come back with success.

Damn it, are reinforcements coming soon?

Hold on, hold on, hold on.

Zhou Yu didn't have the face to blame Guan Yu.

Three months were agreed, and two months after March.

It will be five months soon, and Zhou Yu can only put on armor and go into battle again, trying to launch a general offensive again, trying to break through Jiangling, which is guarded by a strong enemy.

This time, this time, Jiangling will definitely be brought down!

·
Xu Huang took the lead, and their marching speed was very fast, and they soon approached Dangyang.

Unsurprisingly, he saw an old acquaintance outside Dangyang City.

An eight-foot-tall, strong man as strong as an ox straddled a black horse with no variegation, staring at most of Cao's army not far away with eyes full of hatred.

Although there were only 1000 people under him, they stood neatly behind the big man like a silent high wall, actually blocking the progress of Xu Huang's army.

Zhang Fei!

Zhang Fei, who raided Dangyang before and captured his pets alive, has arrived!

Xu Huang stared at Zhang Fei for a long time, then slowly raised his knife and rode forward, and let out a hearty laugh:

"Yide, long time no see."

Zhang Fei nodded, and slowly rode his horse forward, and cupped his hands at Xu Huang:

"Brother, it's been a long time."

"I'm going to Jiangling, please let Yide make it easier for me."

"No way." Zhang Fei shook his head, "Brother told me to stay here and stop all of you."

With only 1000 people, I want to block the continuous reinforcements of Cao Jun...

If someone else said this, it would definitely make Xu Huang laugh out loud, but it was Zhang Fei who spoke, so Xu Huang thought it was nothing.

There are more than 8000 people under him, 3000 people are left behind to transfer food, and [-] people are forward. To Zhang Fei, it is really not a thousand troops.

The three brothers have been fighting fiercely with thousands of troops since the beginning of their formation, basically every time they fought against an enemy that was several times stronger, only five times their strength... It was not too much for Zhang Fei.

"Where's your second brother? I haven't seen him for a long time, and I really miss him a little bit." Xu Huang chatted casually, and the war horse slowly approached Zhang Fei unknowingly.

Zhang Fei frowned and said with a sneer:

"You'd better get off your horse and accept the surrender, and take your head to see your second brother, I'm afraid he won't like it."

Xu Huang laughed loudly, his legs suddenly pinched the horse's belly.

Without his voice to command, the cavalry who had followed him on the battlefield for many years had already quietly started. Hundreds of cavalry fought hard to attack Zhang Fei's main formation. drop gesture.

Zhang Fei had been through the battlefield for a long time, so he naturally saw Xu Huang's intentions.

If it is someone else, the best way now is to quickly shrink the formation and retreat, using the flexibility of your own lineup to try your best to get rid of the enemy's siege.

But Zhang Fei was too lazy to waste this kind of energy.

Not even a single one of his more than 1000 cavalry wavered.

I'm used to it, I'm used to it.

Think with your toes and know what the general wants to do.

"Xu Huang, I will let you be buried here today!"

·
Both Le Jin and Xu Huang went south in light clothes, and Xiahou Dun entered Xiangyang to take over the city defense here.

Xiahou Dun has a firm and rigorous personality. He changed the style of letting the Jingzhou people handle everything during the Lejin period. He personally led his subordinates to check the accounts, inspect the treasury, and make books of grain and grass according to the needs of military grain transfer, and transport them to the soldiers.

Now he doesn't have many people in his hands. After the reinforcements from Runan Prefect Li Tong arrive, he plans to count the refugees around him, bring back the soldiers who were sold by Le Jin and Xu Huang before, and finally open up slowly. Surroundings, to achieve stability in Jingzhou.

Xiahou Dun is not in a hurry to swallow Jingzhou in one go, and keep the northern part of Jingzhou, and then slowly manage it for a few years. He believes that Sun Liu will definitely fight, and Cao Cao will still have a chance to annex the world by then.

Xiahoudun was planning a bright future, but Yunshan's figure appeared in front of him unconsciously.

On that day, Yunshan made a stern suggestion to him, asking Xiahoudun to punish Cao Hong.

As long as Cao Hong is punished, Cao Jun will usher in a new life. The battle of Jingzhou may show a different situation, and everything will gradually get better.

But he...

Still unable to attack Cao Hong.

"There are not many people who are as loyal as Tan Zhi." Xiahou Dun was a little depressed, but he cheered up immediately.

When Meng De calms down the world, when everything is calmed down, I can still deal with the things around me slowly and get everything back on track.

We are so miserable now that there are loyal and courageous people like Yunshan who are willing to join us and fight for us with all their strength.

When we pacify the world, we will be able to select more talented people from the grasslands, and then we will be able to create a better era than the big men.

Xiahou Dun thought about it, looked at the sky full of stars above his head, couldn't help showing a smile on his face, and gradually remembered some past events.

When Liu Bei was defeated by Lu Bu, Xiahou Dun was ordered to support him. He was beaten by Zhang Liao and Gao Shun and couldn't find Bei. The two were silent on the way to escape.

That night was also full of stars. The stars were like pairs of talking eyes, observing the world calmly and serenely. The three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang just chatted with Xiahoudun, even though they didn’t chat very well. Speculation, but every day in the chaos of the world is surviving. After hearing the grand ambitions of the three brothers, Xiahou Dun felt warm, as if he was wandering in the years of chasing his ideals.

How nice it would be to get back to that feeling...

In the dream, Xiahou Dun turned over, suddenly felt very hot, and kicked off the quilt on his body.

The weather has been abnormally cold these years, and Xiangyang is also quite cold in late spring, but today there are gusts of warm wind blowing over.

Xiahou Dun suddenly realized that something was wrong, he stood up abruptly, only to see that the window was completely red.

The sky in Xiangyang City was dyed red. It seemed that the whole city was engulfed in flames. The soaring flames swept everything, and endless heat waves rolled in. The roasted Xiahou Dun stood still for a while.

wrong!

No calls, no screams.

What's going on here?
"Where are people! Where are people!" Xia Houdun ran out of the house, roaring sharply.

But no one around responded. The fire illuminated half the world, but Xiahou Dun felt chills all over.

He quickly drew out his long sword and rushed into the barracks on fire.

Xia Houdun was speechless at the scene that caught his eye.

I saw the guards who came with him lying on the ground in disorder. Xiahou Dun rushed up to check, and saw that they had long been silent.

The fire dragon burns the warehouse.

This is the rule for inspecting the granary, and Xiahou Dun had already taken precautions.

Ke Lejin and Xu Huang didn't burn when they were there, but the moment they left, it caught fire.

Not only was it caught on fire, but more than 500 personal guards who followed Xiahou Dun to the south were poisoned to death overnight.

Oh, right……

Xiahoudun searched everywhere, but unexpectedly, he did not see the shadows of the Jingzhou scholars under Le Jin and Xu Huang's tent.

Not half of them!
They didn't put out the fire, and they didn't come out to call for help. They just watched the entire barracks being burned by the fire. Xiahou Dun opened his mouth to call for help, but he could only sit helplessly on the ground.

Xiangyang City is much more dangerous than he imagined.

He knew what the enemy was suggesting.

He could almost see a tall figure pointing at his nose arrogantly, barking and roaring in a frenzied voice:

check!
Don't you like to check?
It was burning food before, but now I burn people directly!
If you check again, you will be burned if you check again!

Xiahoudun only felt a chill go straight to the top of his head, and he ran quickly, towards the river.

Yunshan hasn't left yet!Yunshan is still raising rations!
Tanzhi save me!

Tanzhi save me!
