My father is Yuan Shu?But I want to be a Cao thief

Chapter 261 The situation in Jingzhou

In the early morning, Shaxian water village.

Huang Zu was still asleep, he heard a vague noise outside the tent, just got up to go out, he saw Huang She kneeling outside the tent, very embarrassed.

The moment he saw Huang She, Huang Zu felt that his brain was short of energy and blood. He vaguely guessed something, and asked tremblingly, "What happened?"

"Father, me, me!" Huang She trembled,
"Shut up, don't call me dad." Huang Zu drew out his personal guard sword, furiously looked at his lieutenant general and said, "Tell me, what happened!"

"My lord, my lord, the Chu army attacked the city last night. Some people in the city cooperated with them from inside and outside. First they seized the gate of the city, and then set fire to the barracks."

"It's too late for us to react, so Sha Xian, Sha Xian is lost!" The deputy general lowered his head and said weakly.

Deng Deng!

Huang Zu took two steps back in disbelief, showing a dazed look, Sha Xian lost?Sha Xian is really lost?How many days has it been?Chu Jun took down Sha Xian in one face-to-face?
"Damn it, I raised you just to let you run away?" Huang Zu was so furious that he slashed down with his saber, and that pair chopped off his head.

Hot blood splashed on Huang She's body,

Huang She was so frightened that she curled up there, trembling, not daring to speak at all.

And a group of generals around them also had unfriendly faces, staring at Huang Zu closely, as if asking for specific methods.

"Whoosh!"

Huang Zu gasped heavily.

What does Shaxian City represent?Damn it is his own foundation, all the foundations of his Huang family for so many years are in it, and his wife and children are also in the city.

Leaving these things aside, the generals under his command, including the soldiers under his command, and their wives, children, and children are also in the city. How can they fight now that Sha Xian is lost?

snort!
He snorted again, Huang Zu almost fainted from anger, he shouldn't have entrusted Huang She with such an important task of defending the city, he was still useful before,

But when he met Chu Jun, his true colors were revealed.

"General, the matter has come to an end, it is useless to criticize too much, it is time to discuss countermeasures!" Beside, Zhang Shuo said solemnly, with gloomy pupils,
"That's right," the generals echoed.

"Accounted for discussion!" Huang Zu nodded, he had to give a reasonable explanation, otherwise not only Sha Xian would be in danger, but it was also uncertain whether he would be killed by the mutiny.

Immediately, all the generals assembled one after another.

Each of these people has their own ideas, especially on the basis that Sha Xian is controlled by the Chu army.

After a long time, all the generals arrived.

Some are unclear, others are brooding,
At this moment, Huang Zu contemplated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, the loss of Shaxian City is something that no one wants to see, but the matter has come to this point and there is no way out."

"No accidents, it won't be long before the whole army will know the news, what do you think, what should we do now?"

Hearing this, some generals were in an uproar,
Of course, some generals looked at each other and fell into deep thought.

"My lord, I don't know if I should say a word or not!" Deng Long hesitated a little, and asked tentatively.

"But it's okay to say!" Huang Zu waved his hand.

"My lord, why don't you surrender to Chu Feng? I have heard that Chu Feng is brave and resourceful. He currently has Yangzhou and most of Xuzhou under his command. Now he is even more aggressive in Jingzhou, which is several times stronger than Liu Biao."

Deng Long frowned and said tentatively.

"Surrender to Chu Feng?" Huang Zu's eyebrows sank.

To be honest, he had this idea, but he was a member of one party in Jingzhou, and it is still unclear whether he can be a general under Chu Feng's command.

He doesn't want to gamble like this.

The rest of the generals also nodded, thinking thoughtfully, now that the Chu army is occupying Shaxian, their wives, children, and children have all been wiped out, and it's okay to surrender.

"My lord, it is said that Chu Feng appoints people on their merits. You can see that Gan Ning is only from a water bandit, and he is only from a small school in Jingzhou. He can entrust him with important tasks."

"There is also Tai Shici, who is no more than Sun Ce's surrendered general, and now he is also the commander of one of the corps. It can be seen that Chu Feng cherishes, loves and uses talents."

"With my lord's ability, Chu Feng will definitely put it to good use." Deng Long clasped his fists and said affirmatively.

"My lord, what General Deng said is right, joining the Chu army might not be an option." Another general said in a deep voice.

"Yes, my lord, Jingzhou's reinforcements have not arrived for a long time. Even if we fight to the end, we may not be able to defeat the Chu army!"

Hearing the words of persuasion from all the generals, Huang Zu's eyes narrowed slightly, and a trace of murderous intent appeared in his heart. The group of hanging hairs all agreed that it would be better to take refuge in Chu Feng.

The others, Huang Zu, couldn't guarantee it, but he knew how much he had. Once he took refuge in Chu Feng, he would definitely be a idle job and wait to die.

On the one hand, he is not capable,
But the most important thing is that he is half a prince, how many dare to use someone like him?Especially those who have betrayed Liu Biao, the key point is that there are not many ways ahead of Huang Zu.

"Lu Jie, what do you think!"

Huang Zu remained calm and looked at the other confidant.

Lu Jie obviously saw Huang Zu's worry, and immediately stepped out of the line, looked at the generals and said, "Everyone, are you sure that Chu Feng will not kill the donkey?"

"As far as I know, there are countless elite soldiers under Chu Feng's command, and they are no longer as weak as they were at the beginning. Surrendering at this moment is at best the icing on the cake. How can they be entrusted with reuse?"

"What's more, it's only a matter of time before Shaxian is destroyed and the water fortress is lost. It doesn't do much good for the Chu army to surrender at this moment, does it?"

Hearing this, all the generals hesitated.

Because what this person said made some sense, if Chu Feng didn't use them at all, wouldn't it be cold for the rest of his life?

"Everyone may wish to listen to me. The situation is not clear now. Let's take a look at how Jingzhou will deal with it. If the emperor sends reinforcements, our army may not be unable to fight."

"If he doesn't care, then our army will have to surrender, what do you think?" Lu Jie looked at everyone.

"That's a good idea,"

"Yeah, Mr. Yilu's!"

"Okay, let's take a look at it for now. After you go back, each restrain your subordinates and don't mess around." Huang Zu heaved a sigh of relief.
This can be regarded as the most compromise method!

"No!" All the generals agreed,
In the end, this almost mutiny was temporarily resolved.

----

Jingzhou, north of Changsha.

This is where the Jingzhou army and Zhang Xian's army faced each other. The two armies fought against each other for many days, but they won and lost each other.

Inside the commander's tent, Ya Jiang entered and said, "My lord, Liu Biao sent an envoy to ask for an interview, but he is outside the camp. Would you like to see him?"

"Liu Biao's envoy? Why did he send someone here!" Zhang Xian closed the scroll with a sick face and replied, then coughed heavily, showing some difficulty.

"Father, why don't we meet and talk!" His son Zhang Yi clasped his fists and said.

"Go, let him in!" Zhang Xian nodded and waved.

After a while, Yiji was ushered in.

"Yiji, a small official under the pastoral tent in Jingzhou, met Zhang Taishou." Yiji bowed and saluted. Historically, he was more than walking around when Liu Bei was in Jingzhou.

After Liu Biao's death, he took the initiative to seek refuge with Liu Bei.
Perhaps not as famous as Fengchu Wolong, but it is also known for its eloquence.

"Tell me, what's the point of coming here!" Zhang Xian asked in a somewhat impatient tone.

"Hehe, I've come here for the life of the general." Yi Ji said with a light smile, stroked his beard.

"Come here for my life? Hehe, it's interesting, let's hear it!" Zhang Xian put down the scroll, curious about what the scribe was going to say.

"The general should know about Chu Feng, right?" Yi Ji asked.

"Naturally, Chu Feng is one of the top princes in the world." Zhang Xian narrowed his eyes, vaguely guessing something.

"Hehe, I wonder how the general thinks it is better than Chu Feng?" Yi Ji asked with a chuckle.

"Maybe it's a little worse!" Zhang Xian said modestly, "But what does this have to do with my family and life?"

"Haha, of course it has something to do with it. Now the general and my lord are fighting to the death, forming a confrontation between Jingnan and Jingbei. There are heavy casualties, and now Chu Feng is going west to Jiangxia,"

"As the saying goes, the snipe and the clam compete for the fisherman's benefit. Whether it is my lord or the general, you are all inferior in strength to Chu Feng. Now the two weak ones don't join forces, and instead they continue to fight each other."

"Would it be cheaper for Chu Feng in the end to fight like this? Even if you defeat our army, general, can you defeat Chu Feng?"

"Pulling out teeth is the way to die. The general is a wise man, so he naturally knows that if the fight continues like this, he can only take advantage of Chu Feng. At that time, they will all make wedding dresses for Chu Feng."

Yi Ji spoke loudly, neither humble nor overbearing.

Zhang Xian raised his eyebrows, thinking in his heart, what he said was not bad, he couldn't help but look to Zhang Yi, who nodded and gave him a look.

"Hehe, there is some truth in what you said. I don't know what to call Mr.?" Zhang Xian asked with a smile.

"Uncle Ji Ji!" Yi Ji bowed and said gently.

"Uncle Ji, what do you think, what should Zhou Mu and I do now?" Zhang Xian asked back.

"It's better to repair the old and form an ally. The dispute between Jingnan and Jingbei is an internal matter. If outsiders are taken advantage of because of internal affairs, wouldn't it be a small loss?"

"Thinking that the general should understand the reason, if the fight continues, when Chu Feng wins Xiangyang, he will definitely send his troops south. At that time, the general will also be alone."

Yiji spread his hands and talked broadly.

"Hehe, but how do I know that this is not your lord's plan to slow down the army?" Zhang Xianhu asked in doubt.

"General, the Chu army has already captured half of Jiangxia. I think you should have received news when you come to your side. Do you think my lord will shoot himself in the foot at this moment?"

Yiji asked with a smile.

"What good does it do me to be an ally?" Zhang Xian asked bluntly.

"Stop killing yourself, otherwise Chu Feng will never let you go!" Yi Ji stared at Zhang Xian and said word by word.

"Of course, to show my sincerity, my lord will take the initiative to apply to the imperial court to assign the four Jingnan counties to the general. This is my lord's sincerity. What is the general's opinion?"

Yi Ji chuckled again and threw out the chips.

"The four Jingnan counties are already controlled by me, so why give them to me? But what you said is right, Chu Feng can't be defeated alone, so a truce is fine."

"However, Liu Biao must make compensation! Our army has fought for so long in this battle, and lost countless money and food. If we don't give money and food subsidies, please make peace!"

Zhang Xian squinted his pupils, obviously not going to let go of this opportunity to cheat.

And since Liu Biao sent Yiji over, it was obvious that the Chu army put too much pressure on him on the eastern front.

"General, this is a win-win situation for both parties. What is the rationale for making compensation?" Yi Ji's pupils were a little cold, and this Zhang Xian was also greedy.

"Hehe, don't talk so much,"

"I don't want too much, 300,000 stones, grain and grass, so that I can explain to the brothers below, otherwise, please don't talk about the battle, at worst, I will surrender to Chu Feng!"

At the end of Zhang Xian's speech, he stared blankly at Yi Ji.

Yi Ji frowned slightly, 300,000 food, the expected bargaining chip for the peace talks is acceptable, but it is not appropriate for him to agree to it.

"General, I still need to discuss this matter. I will give the general an answer tomorrow. I also ask the general to consider it more carefully. This peace talk is beneficial to both of us."

Yi Ji clasped his fists and said in a deep voice.

"Come on, Mr. Ji Bo, please go down and rest first!" Zhang Xian chuckled, but did not respond positively.

"No!" The guard nodded.

Seeing Yiji's leaving back, Zhang Xian looked at his son and said, "Yi'er, you heard what the man said just now, what do you think?"

"Father, this person is right."

"The Chu army is dominant. If our army still fights with Liu Biao, once Chu Feng annexes Liu Biao, he will surely go south and destroy our army."

Zhang Yi frowned and said solemnly.

"Then you mean that you agree to form an alliance and return to the old one?" Zhang Xian asked in surprise.

"Father, all exchanges in the world are for profit. Now that Chu is strong and Liu is weak, if our army still suppresses Liu Zunchu, wouldn't it be self-destruction? My child thinks that it is time to form an alliance and wait for the right time."

Zhang Yi said loudly.

"That's true. Let's see what he says tomorrow. It would be great if we could give this batch of military rations." Zhang Xian sighed, and then coughed heavily,
"Father!" Zhang Yi hurried forward with concern.

"It's okay, let's go down!"

----

Jian'an four years,

Autumn, mid-September.

The world is in turmoil, except for Guandu, Jingzhou is the most violent place. Jingzhou Liu Biao and Changsha prefect Zhang Xian rebuilt peace and became allies.

When the news spread, the whole world was shocked.

You know, everyone knows that Zhang Xian and Liu Biao are different, but now they have become allies, which makes the world suspect that this matter has something to do with the Chu army's westward march to Jiangxia.

All of a sudden, more eyes from all over the world focused on Chu Jun.

In the same month, Zhang Yun, a reinforcement sent by Liu Biao, arrived at the mouth of the Han River, but he did not dare to advance because of the fortifications of the Chu army, so he had to write to Huang Zu to discuss countermeasures.

-

In the barracks, the generals took a reassurance,

Liu Biao's reinforcements have arrived, 20,000 people are elite sailors, all of whom are under Cai Mao's elite, and they are better than Huang Zu's in terms of equipment and personnel.

"My lord, since General Zhang has arrived with his troops, our army can't sit still. The last general suggested that we attack the enemy frontally and frontally, and Zhang Yun lead his troops to attack the rear!"

"The Chu Army's boat divisions are limited. If they attack back and forth like this, their morale will be in chaos. Sha Xian will still be ours!" Zhang Shuo said a little excitedly.

"The final general seconded the proposal, and the final general believes that the Chu army must not be allowed to stay here for a long time, otherwise the water fortress will be established, and it will be even more difficult to break it when the time comes."

Deng Long also spoke.

Afterwards, all the generals discussed one after another, probably meaning that this time the best opportunity broke Chu Feng's boat master and it would be easy to take back Sha Xian.

After all, the two armies could not meet together, so they had to retreat separately!
"Alright," Zhang Xian nodded, and immediately wrote a letter: "Take this letter back and pass it to General Zhang. This battle should be sooner rather than later. Tomorrow at Yinshi, I will fight with my troops."

"When the time comes, let General Zhang lead his troops to attack!"
