Shu Han of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Luling, with a radius of about several hundred miles, has several cities, which are an isolated frontier base near Jingzhou in Jiangdong. A rugged path passed by, and there was a large forest in front of it, and there was only one road in the forest.

A road, a waterway.This is the only way to enter Luling on a large scale. The forests on both sides of the land road in front can be used as an ambush, and the waterway in the back is blocked by Zhou Tai.

It can be said to be extremely easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Jiangdong general Tai Shici led [-] troops to guard this place.

In Luling County, besides the prefect's mansion, there is also a general's mansion.Tai Shici has had such a general's mansion since he guarded this place.

In the study of the General's Mansion, Tai Shici was sitting on his knees.

Tai Shici's face was soft and harmless, and his figure was only slender, not burly, but the back outlined by the straight spine gave people a very strong feeling.

This kind of feeling endows Tai Shici with the air of a fierce general, and the last pair of bright and energetic tiger eyes is the finishing touch.

This guy who looks a bit soft is actually a tiger, ready to give birth to tigers and leopards at any time.

Taishi Ci was originally a young general under Liu Yao's tent in Yangzhou. Liu Yao and Sun Ce fought for the hegemony, but they lost.Tai Shici was defeated by Sun Ce, and surrendered to Sun Ce, and has since become a general of Wu.

In the past, Tai Shici was not guarding here, but because Changsha Huang Zhongchang led an army to plunder Luling and take away the people.Sun Quancai sent Tai Shici to conquer Luling in case Huang Zhong invaded.

As a result, Huang Zhong's troops were not as many as Taishici's, and Taishici had a strong city as his backing.After several small defeats, Huang Zhong never entered Luling again.

Until Kou Feng took Huang Zhong away and went to Jiangxia.Tai Shici really lived a stable life for a while.

However, it was only stable for a while.When Kou Fengbing entered Jiangxia, that old fellow Huang Zhong shot and killed Huang Zu with an arrow. From then on, Tai Shici knew that there might be troubles in Jiangxia.

Kou Feng has never heard of it, but Huang Zhong has fought several times.Although he repelled Huang Zhong, Tai Shici was deeply impressed by Huang Zhong's bravery and the soldiers he raised well.

But now that old guy actually defected to Kou Feng, one can imagine how powerful Kou Feng is.

Next, Zhou Yu, the leader of the Central Committee, was defeated by Kou Feng, damaged Pan Zhang, and lost the four cities of Chaisang.In the battle of Jiangling, only the remnant soldiers were left after being beaten by Kou Feng. In the battle of Xiangyang, they killed themselves.

The battle after battle has confirmed Tai Shici's guess that Jiangxia is going to be in chaos, and Kou Feng is rising faster than he imagined.

Compared with Sun Ce, whom he was loyal to at the beginning, he was more fierce and capable of fighting.

Ever since the news of Zhou Yu's death in the north came, Tai Shici knew that a war between Jiangdong and Jingchu was inevitable.

On the southeast side, two heroes contend for hegemony.But one is strong and the other is weak.How can the strong not give birth to the heart of annexation?

Therefore, these days, apart from the soldiers and supplies given by Sun Quan, Tai Shici also led his own soldiers to overhaul the city.Build fortifications.

Because there is only one road leading to Luling ahead, Tai Shici is not afraid of Kou Feng's catapult or well cart.The road is difficult, and if Kou Feng leads these siege equipment, Tai Shici can destroy it if he lays an ambush.

However, Tai Shici was a strong general who had been guarding Luling for many years and grew tired of it early.In his early years, he wrote to Sun Quan, saying that he would attack Changsha and enter Jingzhou.

However, Sun Quan focused on Jiangxia, thinking that if he opened up Jiangxia, he would open up the way to Jingzhou.In the end, Tai Shici was still a cat.

"All the generals in front stand side by side to protect the environment and the people. I am the only one who leads the division here, hey." Tai Shici sat for a while, then sighed.

"General." At this moment, a small official with a knife and a pen in the mansion entered Tai Shici's study, bowed and saluted.Holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand.

"What's the matter?" Tai Shici said a little sadly.

"My lord has an order." As he spoke, the little official presented the bamboo slips in his hand to Tai Shici.

Tai Shici's eyes lit up, and he immediately untied the rope on the bamboo slips. After just one glance, his face showed a look of great joy, and he shouted: "A man was born in troubled times, and he should hold a three-foot green spear, so that he can stand upright." Thanks to you, now is your chance.”

"Quickly order 7000 soldiers and horses, and follow me into Changsha." After yelling, Tai Shici's complexion tightened, and he ordered to the little official with knife and pen in front of him.

"Promise." The knife and pen clerk also looked excited, promised loudly, and hurried out.

Immediately, Tai Shici ordered his personal guards to take out the armor and wear it on his body. Although Tai Shici hadn't fought for a long time, he often wore this armor.

He even ordered someone to wipe it every day to make it look extremely bright.

Wearing it on Tai Shici's body, it looks like a god general.

Not long after, the accountant reported to the future that the [-] soldiers had been assembled.Tai Shici waved his hand and ordered: "Go to Changsha."

Changsha, Tai Shici has been paying attention to it for several years.

What kind of situation, how many roads, how many soldiers are stationed, and who is the guard.This information was already well known, so Tai Shici's order was very decisive at this time.

Not long after, Tai Shici led 7000 troops out of Luling, and a few days later, they arrived in Daxian County, Changsha, which is also Youxian County near Luling.

Youxian County is also the place where Huo Jun, the captain of Changsha County named by Kou Feng, the most famous general in the Shu Han Dynasty, and Huo Jun stationed his troops.

When Huo Jun defected to Kou Feng, he was immediately named Changsha County Captain to guard against Tai Shici in the East.It was Huo Jun's defensive ability that Kou Feng liked.

However, after Huo Jun arrived in Changsha, he mobilized his army to the two cities of You County and An County, because these two cities were the closest to Luling.

Of course, defending against the enemy must be outside the country's gates, otherwise the flames of war will ignite and the losses will be great.

Tai Shici is a famous Jiangdong general, if he came to attack, he would be extremely ferocious.Therefore, in these years, Huo Jun has greatly built fortifications, strengthened the moat, raised and widened the city, and consumed a lot of materials.

However, with Kou Feng's victory day by day.

The entire posture of Jingchu has already changed from the original defense to the current active attack.Chen Bing, outside the capital city, is even more deterrent to the world.

Huo Jun has also received news that Marquis Wu and Sun Quan have stationed heavy troops in Yuzhang and are tying up Hengjiang.So, somewhat discouraged.

He has been a general of Chu for many years, but he has not made an inch of merit.

As for Huo Jun in Luling County, of course he also deployed spies.Tai Shici's army was mobilized, and the spies heard about it first, and put the news on Huo Jun's case.

"Seven thousand troops, Linyou County?" In the study, Huo Jun was overjoyed.

These years, although Huo Jun hadn't experienced any battles, as time passed, his power became stronger and stronger. As the saying goes, gold always shines.

As long as it is placed in the right place, Huo Jun is in the right place to be a general.

"Come on, let's go to Xiangyang quickly, and say that Taishi's soldiers have invaded Changsha." Huo Jun first ordered the horse to seal the news to the bandits. As another general, although Huo Jun stationed troops in Changsha, he had the right to surpass Liu Mi, the current governor of Jingnan. Go directly to Kou Feng.

"I order everyone to come to the hall to discuss matters." Immediately, Huo Jun ordered again.

"Promise." As soon as he promised, the soldiers rushed out of the door and summoned the generals to go.

Soon, Huo Jun put on his armor and came to the hall.Several generals under the account have also arrived.Among them, Army Sima Zhou Shun, who had the most seniority and was also Kou Feng's confidant, was the most prominent.

Don't sit on Huo Jun's left side.

Zhou Shun was a water thief in the past, and later returned to surrender to the bandits, and followed him to conquer.He became a veteran of the family for Kou Feng.He is also brave and good at fighting, and is good at commanding troops. Huo Jun has always respected him.

"The news came that Tai Shici sent [-] troops to You County, and they will arrive soon. Tai Shici is a fierce general in Jiangdong, unstoppable and unstoppable." Huo Jun stood up again and said: "Call the soldiers to guard against you." In the city, the soldiers who asked for leave and returned home will be summoned immediately. If they don’t come, they will be killed.”

Huo Jun's soldiers are all from Changsha, and some of them often ask for leave to return home.

"Promise." Headed by Zhou Shun, all the generals agreed in unison.

Immediately afterwards, Huo Jun personally led [-] soldiers to the head of You County, waiting for Tai Shici's arrival.

In the east, about thirty miles away from Youcheng, there is a big village.There are thousands of people. Since Kou Feng took possession of Changsha, he appointed his uncle Liu Mi as the prefect.

Although Liu Mi lacks talent, he is also considered clear.

Since then, Changsha has been governed.The people were rich, and later the Shanyue people migrated, and the population plundered from the north came here.Changsha, which was originally sparsely populated, has a sense of dense population.

There are faint shadows of prosperity.There are so many such big villages in Changsha.

After several days of traveling, Tai Shici's army appeared not far from the village.

Taishi Ci is a fierce general, and the soldiers under his tent are naturally elite.There are seven thousand soldiers, and the team is well-organized, and their vigor soars to the sky.

Tai Shici rode his horse in front, riding a Xiliang war horse under his lap. He was wearing a golden armor, holding a long spear in his hand, and a family heirloom bow on his back.

Tai Shici once attacked a city with Sun Ce, and someone in the city insulted Sun Ce. Tai Shici bent his bow, shot the man's left arm, and nailed it to the door.

Once he became famous, no one in the army refused to accept it.At this moment, it was the first time in several years that they were on the team, so naturally they brought along the fellows who were eating.

He was followed by a flag bearer.A flag with the word "Taishi" embroidered on it was held in the hands of the soldiers in charge of the flag, fluttering in the wind, baring their teeth and claws.

Day after day of rushing, the soldiers were exhausted.Seeing that You County was approaching and there was another big village here, Tai Shici thought for a moment, then reined in his horse and gave the order: "Order the soldiers to fetch water from the village and bury pots for cooking."

"Promise." The deputy under the tent promised, and led hundreds of people to the village ahead, while Tai Shici led all the soldiers and chose an open place to rest.

When their army arrived, they took some well water to make food.In Tai Shici's opinion, it should be a very simple matter, so he ordered the soldiers to bury the pot first and get the firewood.

When the water arrives, you can make rice.

Don't want to, but there is trouble.

After a while, the lieutenant who was sent to fetch water just now came back with a grim expression on his face.The soldiers escorted an old man who was plainly dressed but stood upright and walked back.

The old man scolded as he walked, "Thieves, if you want to kill them, kill them."

When Tai Shici saw this, he was quite annoyed.He was loyal and righteous, and had some friendship with the great Confucian Kong Rong at that time.As a general, he also treated the soldiers well and cared for the common people.

When Tai Shici came, he told the generals under his account not to harm the people.Treat each other with courtesy.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived in You County, some generals violated his taboo.

The deputy general led hundreds of troops to escort the old man, but the old man continued to curse, in Tai Shici's opinion, he offended the old man.

An old man should also be the most respected person in the village, offending the old man is offending the village.This is called treating each other with courtesy?

"What's going on?" Tai Shici got up himself, came to the deputy general, and asked in a bad tone.

The lieutenant general also knew Tai Shici's taboo, so he didn't dare to hide it immediately, and told what happened.However, the deputy general was ordered to fetch water from the village, and according to Tai Shici's rules, he first called on the village elders.That is the old man in front of him.

The old man was very enthusiastic at the beginning, and even flattered the deputy general with his enthusiasm.However, when the old man learned that he was General Jiangdong, his expression immediately changed.

Not only was he rude, but he greeted the villagers secretly and threw cow dung, horse dung and the like into the well water.

Let the good well water become extremely smelly.And yell at thieves and bandits.

"Why is this old man?" Tai Shici frowned deeply, bent over and asked.

The old man might also be tired of scolding, and he didn't make a sound when the lieutenant general was speaking.At this time Tai Shici asked him, he cast Tai Shici's eyes, and said: "Jiangdong is also a thief. He has repeatedly raised troops and made troubles, attacking my big Chu. Now I, the Marquis of Chu, is the general of Zhendong, and your Marquis of Wu in Jiangdong is just the Marquis of Chu. It’s nothing more than subordinates, not only don’t listen to orders, but also come to make trouble. As a Chu citizen, if you don’t scold you, who will you scold?”

The old man was arrogant and looked down on Jiangdong people.When talking about Marquis Chu, his face naturally showed reverence, and he even showed arrogance when he called himself Chu Min.

Not only the loyalty is superficial, but the voice is more rough and reasonable.

Tai Shici frowned endlessly. In today's troubled times, many people would show signs of anxiety when they saw the army approaching.But this person not only did not, but supported Kou Feng so much.

He pollutes the well water himself, and does not give them Jiangdong soldiers to eat.

It is rumored that Kou sealed Jiangxia, annexed Jiujiang, and entered Changsha.Not only did they help them build deep wells, dig through rivers, and survive that rare natural disaster in hundreds of years.

And build schools and appoint talented people.The three counties prospered, and the common people attached themselves.

Now Kou Feng separates Jingchu, and the place is thousands of miles long.With hundreds of thousands of armor.But it is still these three counties.As long as the three counties are not lost, Kou Feng can retreat to the three counties even if he is defeated.

Tai Shici had heard about it a long time ago, and at that time lamented that Kou Feng had won the hearts of the people so far.Jiangdong has gone through three generations, more than ten years, and that's all.

But seeing this ordinary old man today, he dared to make an enemy of the army.Insulting Wu soldiers as thieves, loyalty is superficial.Only by seeing it with my own eyes can I know how popular Kou Feng is.

Suddenly, there was a kind of depression, which rushed straight to the head.He originally planned to occupy Youxian County and Anxian County to expand and expand to help Yuzhang's defense.

Unexpectedly, it was like this.

This is considered to have opened the city gate and broken the city.I don't know if some people in the city will secretly open the city gate to welcome the Chu army into the city.

Unpopular, how to defend the city?

This was like a basin of cold water poured into Tai Shici's heart, and his high spirits were reduced by half in an instant.Feeling depressed, but Tai Shici had a good personality, waved his hand, and ordered: "Since the old man doesn't welcome us, we can't force it, so let us go."

"No." The deputy general agreed, and left with the old man.

Immediately, Tai Shici ordered the soldiers to go to the river to fetch water before burying the pot for cooking.
