Soldiers come to the world

Chapter 201 Xu Du's Pieces

The two boats were getting closer and closer, and the distance between them was less than thirty steps. You could clearly see the people on the opposite boat. Liu Jing saw Zhang Yun's ugly face clearly, and stared at him with a grin. His expression was like that of a wild beast. Salivating the prey that has been obtained.

"Liu Jing, you never thought that today would come!" Zhang Yun laughed loudly on the opposite boat.

Liu Jing was extremely calm, turned around and shouted: "Don't worry everyone, the Jingzhou Navy is not Jiangdong Army, and will not kill each other, everyone listen to my command!"

Only then did he raise his voice, and said calmly: "I can tell you Jiang Xia's conditions. There are three conditions in total. If you agree, I can give up Jiang Xia."

Liu Jing's voice could not be heard clearly in the wind, but his words were very important, Zhang Yun frowned, and said to the left and right: "Come closer!"

The big boat swayed slowly and Liu Jing's boat got closer, the distance between the two big boats was less than twenty steps.

A military marquis next to him noticed a row of burly sergeants standing on the side of the other side's ship. He felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and quickly reminded: "Lieutenant, the other side has increased troops, be careful of deceit."

Zhang Yun also noticed the changes in the army on Liu Jing's ship, and suddenly realized that Liu Jing had to attack the main ship if he wanted to escape the siege, and he really couldn't get too close.

He quickly ordered: "Leave immediately!"

Liu Jing saw that the other party was trying to leave, so he shouted, "Do it!"

Dozens of burly and tall soldiers picked up the clay pots under their feet and threw them at the opposing ship. Zhang Yun saw a dark object flying towards him, and he squatted down in fright.

'boom!boom! Dozens of pottery pots shattered on the deck and hull, and the light yellow liquid flowed all over the deck. At this moment, more than a dozen rockets roared and ignited the kerosene, which immediately burned rapidly. When the deck was engulfed, Zhang Yun and his men panicked, and many jumped into the river hastily.

Liu Jing had been prepared for a long time. The moment he gave the order, he drew out his bow and arrow, and aimed at the flag bearer on the mast. ' shot out with such force that the flag bearer on the mast screamed and fell heavily from the mast.

Taking advantage of the panic of the enemy's main ship, Liu Jing immediately ordered: "Go forward at full speed and rush past the interception!"

Five large ships lined up to break through to the northwest, and the Jingzhou navy was in a mess. The fire on the main ship burned rapidly, and the sails were also ignited. Soldiers who jumped into the boat cried and died tragically in the fire.

Zhang Yun jumped into the water just in time and escaped his life. He tried his best to swim to another big ship. At this moment, the soldiers behind shouted, "Captain, be careful!"

Zhang Yun turned his head, he was frightened out of his wits, the big ship began to tilt, the flaming mast broke, and hit him like a mountain.

In desperation, Zhang Yun sank suddenly, 'Crack! ' With a loud noise, the mast hit the water heavily, causing a wave of spray, and the big ship sank, rolling up a huge vortex, and a dozen soldiers were swept into the bottom of the river together.

The sudden fire on the main ship made the surrounding warships terrified, and they dared not approach Liu Jing's ship. They thought of the defeat of Jiangdong's army, and they heard that they were defeated by fire.

The prestige of Liu Jing's victory over the Jiangdong Army has brought a huge shock to the Jingzhou Navy. In addition, Zhang Yun did not issue a battle flag order, so the Jingzhou Navy did not dare to act rashly. drive by.

When Zhang Yun boarded another large ship, he realized that Liu Jing's fleet had broken through the encirclement of the Jingzhou navy and sailed northwest, turning into five small black spots.

"It's all a bunch of idiots, bastard!" Zhang Yun cursed angrily.

. . . . . . . .

Xudu, in the dark night, a figure hurriedly walked on the corner of the street. He soon came to a mansion and walked up the steps. The dead lantern under the gate of the mansion gave off a dim light, illuminating his face. This person was the soldier. The yellow shot that failed.

After Jiang Xia was defeated, Huang She did not flee to Nanjun or Xiangyang. He was already disheartened with Jingzhou, and Jiangdong couldn't go. After thinking about it, he fled to Xudu.

He glanced at the house number, which said 'Guoming Pavilion Marquis Mansion', this is Cao Hong's mansion, Cao Hong was the prefect of Runan two years ago, and Huang's father and son dealt with him at that time.

Huang She also knew that Cao Hong would take bribes, so he specifically asked Cao Hong for help. He had been here two days ago, and today was the second time. However, it was Cao Hong who sent someone to look for him, which made him nervous again. Looking forward again.

Huang She cupped his hands to the doorman, "Please tell Mr. Cao, Huang She begs to see you!"

The concierge went in, and after a while a housekeeper came out with a smile and said, "Young Master Huang, please! My general is waiting in the study."

Huang She followed the steward into the mansion, until he came to Cao Hong's study, the steward reported, "General, Young Master Huang has arrived."

"Come in!"

Cao Hong’s voice came from the room, the voice was mighty and powerful, Huang shot into the study room, the room was brightly lit, Cao Hongnian was about [-] years old, he was mighty and strong, he was wearing a wide body sackcloth and a turban , holding a book in his hand, although he is a famous general of Cao Jun, he is also capable of both civil and military skills.

Huang She hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and bowed to the ground, "See Mr. Cao!"

"Don't call me Duke Cao."

Cao Hong waved his hand, he didn't like this title, it was disrespectful to his elder brother.

Huang She hurriedly changed his words, "See General Cao!"

"Please sit down!"

Huang She sat down nervously, and just about to speak, Cao Hong smiled and said, "I have already met the Prime Minister today and told him about your affairs. The Prime Minister is very interested and asked me to take you to see him tomorrow morning."

Huang She was overjoyed, and hurriedly saluted, "Thank you General Cao for your great recommendation."

Cao Hong narrowed his eyes and smiled, "You're welcome, we still have a little friendship!"

Huang She understood what Cao Hong meant, and quickly took out a pair of white jade from his bosom, put them on the small table, and pushed them to Cao Hong, "This is a kindness from the younger generation, please accept it with a smile."

Cao Hong's eyes were very poisonous. Seeing that the white jade was crystal clear and smooth without any blemish, it was extremely precious. He laughed in his heart and said that Huang Zu's hidden treasure was really good. He immediately said gently: "Don't worry, I will try my best to help you." Good words, I will definitely let you work in Xudu."

"Thank you, General. I don't know if I will see the Prime Minister tomorrow. What should the younger generation pay attention to?"

"It's nothing, the etiquette is sufficient, and what the prime minister asks, you just answer truthfully, but let me warn you first, the prime minister is not easy to lie, if you lie, then you will be to blame."

"Junior understands!"

Huang She talked with Cao Hong a few more words, and then left. After leaving Cao Hong's mansion, Huang She was very excited. He walked to the Xuchang River and stared at the river water that had already been covered with a thin layer of ice for a long time.

The reason why Huang She gave up Jingzhou and switched to Cao Cao was because he knew that Cao Cao's army would go south sooner or later. When Cao Cao attacked Jiangxia, he would definitely let someone who was familiar with Jiangxia be the prefect of Jiangxia. He is none other than him.

At this moment, Huang She was full of expectations for the future in his heart. He seemed to see the scene of returning home in glory. He seemed to see Liu Jing being bound and kneeling in front of him, and he would handle it with his own hands. Thinking that Liu Jing would get Tao Zhan, Huang His heart shot like a drop of blood, and his teeth were slowly clenched.

. . . . . . .

It had only been half a month since Cao Cao returned to Xudu, and the battle in Hebei was in full swing. After Yuan Shao's death, his eldest son Yuan Tan and third son Yuan Shang fought for the orthodox succession.

Yuan Tan was besieged by Yuan Shang's army in the plains. He was forced to send Simpi to ask for help from Cao Cao. Cao Cao took the opportunity to advance and arrived in Liyang in October. Yuan Shang was forced to withdraw. Yuan Tan then surrendered to Cao Cao. Tan's daughter is his wife, and the class teacher returns to Xudu.

In the room, Cao Cao was discussing the peace of Hebei with his counselor Guo Jia. Guo Jianian was about [-] years old. sick.

Guo Jia is one of Cao Cao's four confidant advisers. He served as a military adviser to sacrifice wine and was highly regarded by Cao Cao. Usually, Cao Cao would listen to him when he talked with Cao Cao, but today Guo Jia found that Cao Cao seemed a little restless. When talking about Yuan Shang, he lost his mind.

"What is my lord thinking?" Guo Jia stopped talking and asked with a smile.

Cao Cao was startled, and then realized that he was a little rude. He smiled apologetically, "I'm thinking about Jingzhou, Fengxiao, please continue."

Guo Jia knew Cao Cao very well, he knew that the lord's heart was no longer in Hebei, and it would be futile to say more, so he changed the subject and said with a smile: "Then let's talk about Jingzhou."

This sentence lifted Cao Cao's spirit, he laughed and said, "Fengxiao knows me!"

It's not that Cao Cao doesn't care about Hebei, it's just because he has just been a teacher in Hebei, and the situation in Hebei is already under his control. It's like knowing the ending of a story, and his interest in this story has faded a bit.

On the contrary, two days ago he received a detailed report on the Jiang Xia battle, which immediately aroused his strong interest, especially Liu Jing's outstanding performance, which made him admire.

Guo Jia smiled slightly, "My lord has always mentioned Liu Jing to people these two days, and I feel quite touched, and it seems that I have a heart for talents again."

Cao Cao nodded, sighed and said, "I pride myself on being a good judge of people. When I first saw this boy two years ago, I felt that he was extraordinary. He was able to deceive the forbidden, and he was bold and careful, and extremely scheming. To be able to escape from under my nose, he knew that he would never be unknown in Jingzhou. Sure enough, occupying Chaisang, defeating Soochow, and annexing Jiangxia, he is quite a king. It has only been two short years. Wrong person!"

"My lord's ability to know people has always been admired by my subordinates. Everyone is laughing at Yu Wen, who lost to Liu Jing twice. Only my lord said that he was lucky to not die. Back then, Liu Jing was just a down-and-out son, but only my lord valued him. Many people didn't understand. After a Jiangxia battle, everyone praised the lord for his knowledge of people."

Cao Cao shook his head. He no longer cared about everyone's admiration for his knowledge of people. What he cared about was Liu Jing. After reading the detailed report of the Jiangxia Battle, he felt a little worried.

Cao Cao never cared about Liu Biao, nor did he look down on Liu Biao's two sons. In his heart, Jingzhou was just a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered.

But now, Liu Jing has suddenly emerged in Jingzhou, defeated the strong with the weak, and annexed Jiangxia. Cao Cao was very worried that Liu Jing would annex Jingzhou next and become the lord of Jingzhou, and then he would be in trouble when his army went south.

"Fengxiao, to be honest, I'm a little worried."

Cao Cao couldn't help but worried, "If he becomes the lord of Jingzhou, he will definitely become my strong enemy, and with his attitude towards Jiangdong, the two families of Sun and Liu will definitely unite, which will affect my grand plan for the south!"

Guo Jia laughed, "Your Majesty is overthinking. Liu Jing only took advantage of Sun Quan's westward expedition to annex Jiangxia. Jingzhou is not Jiangxia, and Liu Biao is not Huangzu. How could he become the lord of Jingzhou so easily.

Besides, Liu Biao was not a man with great ambitions, so it was impossible for him to pass on the throne of Lord of Jingzhou to his nephew. On the contrary, Liu Jing would become a big threat to his son.

If the subordinate guessed correctly, there will be civil strife in Jingzhou two years later. At that time, the lord should have wiped out Hebei and no longer have to worry about the future. He can take advantage of the civil strife in Jingzhou to wipe out Liu Biao and Liu Jing in one fell swoop. "

"Feng Xiao's words are very kind, just what I want!"

Cao Cao smiled happily, "We might as well help Liu Biao to make Jingzhou more chaotic."

Speaking of this, Cao Cao suddenly remembered something, and said to Guo Jia: "It is said that Liu Jing used 'fire oil' in the Battle of Chaisang. It is extremely powerful in combat, and it is said that it gushes out from the ground, Feng Xiao might as well look for it for me, to see if there is such fire oil in Central Plains."

"My lord, don't worry, I'll send someone to look for it immediately!"

At this moment, someone from the hall reported: "Prime Minister, General Cao Hong brought Huang She from Jiangxia to pay a visit."

Cao Cao nodded, "Bring them in!"

Guo Jia next to him asked in surprise, "Is this Huang She the son of Huang Zu?"

"It's this person, Jiang Xia was defeated, he came to join me."

Guo Jia hesitated and said, "According to what I know, the Huangs and their sons are not good people. They are loyal to Liu Biao but practice separatism. They are disloyal and heartless. The protagonist cannot use him."

Cao Cao sneered, "How can I not know who he is, but he is still useful now, and I will pay attention to it after I take Jingzhou."

Just as he was speaking, Cao Hong hurried up to the lobby with Huang She, and Cao Hong saluted, "My lord, he is here."

Cao Cao turned his gaze to Huang She, and saw that although this man was handsome, elegant and talented, there was an unrighteous air in his eyes, and he flinched.

But Cao Cao still smiled and asked, "Are you the Young Master She among the four great princes in Jingzhou?"

Huang She was so nervous that he trembled, his legs softened, he knelt down with a 'plop', and kowtowed repeatedly, "Jiang Xia... Huang She pays homage to the prime minister!"

He thought of many beautiful words, but at this moment he couldn't say a word.

Cao Cao smiled lightly, "Tell us about the Jiangxia battle! And Liu Jing, who is he? It is rumored that this person led weak troops to defeat Jiangdong's main force. Is this true?"

Huang She felt at ease, he could hear that Cao Cao admired Liu Jing, he couldn't help but feel extremely jealous, for a moment he forgot that Cao Hong had repeatedly told him not to lie, he lowered his head, and said instinctively: "Liu Jing is just because he is Liu Biao. My nephew was given the post of Sima to guard Chaisang. In this Jiangxia battle, we defended against the main force of the Jiangdong army, and we lost both sides in the battle with the Jiangdong army. In the end, he took advantage of him. This person is just doing nothing in Jingzhou. Your generation, Prime Minister, don’t believe rumors.”

Even Cao Hong, who was behind him, couldn't help the slight anger in his eyes because of the obvious jealousy. Why didn't Huang She listen to his advice?

Guo Jia sighed in his heart, he was really mediocre, he couldn't even speak, he looked at Cao Cao, meaning that this person is not available, but Cao Cao smiled and changed the subject, "Young Master She is planning to be loyal to the truth ?"

Huang She kowtowed again and again, "I am willing to do the work of a dog and a horse for the prime minister!"

Cao Cao nodded and said with a smile: "In this case, I will make you the captain of Shuiwu and return to Jingzhou temporarily. Do you understand what I mean?"

Huang She was so moved that tears came out, and even made him a captain. He kowtowed and wept, "Prime Minister, Huang She is willing to repay you with death!"

After Huang shot down, Guo Jia asked in puzzlement, "Why does the Prime Minister use such villains so much?"

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and smiled, "If you don't use heavy bait, how can you get a big fish? Did Feng Xiao forget about Gao Zu's sealing of Yong Chi?"

Guo Jia suddenly realized, he gave a thumbs up and praised: "The prime minister is brilliant!"

Cao Cao laughed out loud, and when he stopped laughing, he sighed again, "Unfortunately, I don't have a son named Cao Jing."
