The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 260 Chapter 259
Zhang Liao persuaded Gan Ning to stay, and Gan Ning persuaded Su Fei. Both of them evaporated in the name of cheating death.

The news that Huang She's entire army was wiped out was spread by Zhang Liao who released a sailor on the boat and returned to Jiangxia.

When Huang Zu learned that Huang She had been beheaded and that Gan Ning, Su Fei and others were all killed in battle, Huang Zu was very angry. He immediately gathered tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and wanted to come to Xunyang to seek revenge from Zhang Liao.

But after thinking about it, Huang Zu had no strong generals under his command, so he had to write a letter and send someone to Xiangyang, saying that Huang She, Gan Ning, Su Fei and others pursued to Xunyang in order to put down Zhang Wu and Chen Sun's rebellion. Territory was beheaded by Zhang Liao, and the entire army was wiped out, and he begged Liu Biao to send an army to Xingshi to inquire about his crimes. In the letters, there were many acts of embellishment.

After Liu Biao read Huang Zu's letter, he became furious immediately, saying that Zhang Yan had deceived others too much, and when he was about to order troops and horses, it was reported that the emperor had sent an envoy, and that it was the emperor's father-in-law who was lying down.

Out of face, Liu Biao met Fu Wan, and before Fu Wan could speak, he was the first to talk about the battle of Xunyang straight to the point, with a sense of reproach in his tone.

Fu Wan was also at a loss. He did not take the Lujiang River when he came to Xiangyang, but went to Runan to enter Nanyang, and then arrived in Xiangyang.But after listening to Liu Biao's words, he also knew the news that Liu Biao's soldiers and horses were wiped out in Xunyang.

Therefore, Fu Wan gave different opinions on this matter, and told Liu Biao the ins and outs of the matter in detail.

After hearing this, Liu Biao felt that his face was dull. From the very beginning, it was Huang Zu's son Huang She who did something wrong. It was the first time he entered the Xunyang territory, so he just didn't greet the local officials, and instead killed him. Red-eyed, even Zhang Yan's army and officials were killed together. This is how Zhang Liao led his army to kill Huang She.

After knowing the ins and outs, Liu Biao immediately apologized to Fu Wan, and sent someone to escort a batch of gold, silver and jewelry as a thank you gift for Fu Wan to take back.

After sending Fu away, Liu Biao sent someone to reprimand Huang Zu, telling Huang Zu not to cause trouble for him, otherwise, he would be rude to Huang Zu.Moreover, both sides had casualties in the battle of Xunyang, so Huang Zu was not allowed to pursue it any further.

After Huang Zu learned of Liu Biao's idea, he was very angry. But after all, Liu Biao was his boss. Although the two were old friends, Huang Zu felt the pain of losing his son. I don't want Liu Biao not only to show no mercy, but to send someone to punish him.

Huang Zu held a grudge against Liu Biao for a while, and secretly gathered his strength, preparing to lead the army in person and go to Xunyang to avenge Zhang Liao.

At this time, someone came to report to Huang Zu that Gan Ning and Su Fei's family members disappeared overnight. Huang Zu is a suspicious person. When he heard such a thing, he immediately thought that Gan Ning and Su Fei should still be there. In this world, he wondered whether it was Gan Ning and Su Fei who had secretly informed Zhang Liao, and thus made his son Huang She be beheaded.

Thinking of this, Huang Zu immediately sent people all over the city to search for the family members of Gan Ning and Su Fei, but when his subordinates learned that the family members of Gan Ning and Su Fei had been taken away and were going down the river in a big boat, they immediately Send troops to pursue, advance by land and water, must intercept Gan Ning and Su Fei's family members.

Huang Zu personally led the team, chased all the way, and finally caught up with the big ship in the waters of Qichun County. He took people on board and searched around, but the result made him dumbfounded.

It is true that two families boarded the boat in Xiling City, the county town of Jiangxia County, but these two families were not from Gan Ning and Su Fei's family, but from another family.

Huang Zu saw that it was not the family members of Gan Ning and Su Fei that he worked so hard to pursue, so he gave up, but his resentment could not be eliminated, in a fit of rage, he even ordered to kill all the people in the boat, leaving no one behind. Then throw the body into the river to feed the fish.

After losing Gan Ning and Su Fei's family members, Huang Zu was so annoyed that he killed the scouts who reported to him, and returned to Xiling City with extreme displeasure. In order to vent his inner anger, he even sent someone to The houses of Gan Ning and Su Fei were ransacked.

As a result, Huang Zu accidentally found a letter when he ransacked his home. The letter was left to Huang Zu and written by Gan Ning himself. It was roughly to thank Huang Zu for his kindness and to say that Huang She did not die because of them. Yes, they surrendered after Huang She died.

No matter how Gan Ning explained in the letter, Huang Zu didn't believe it after all, and even scolded Gan Ning and Su Fei for being a villain.

Therefore, Huang Zu simply sent a large army to garrison Xiazhi, and secretly contacted Liu Bei, the governor of Jingnan, and Zhang Xiu, the prefect of Nanyang, to prepare to join forces to attack Zhang Yan.

The envoys went to Jingnan and Nanyang respectively. Liu Bei, the governor of Jingnan, was stationed in Changsha. After more than three years, the four counties in Jingnan have been governed in an orderly manner.

Liu Bei suddenly received Huang Zu's letter, after reading it, he laughed it off, and immediately wrote back to Huang Zu, telling Huang Zu to be patient for the time being, and told a story about Gou Jian lying on his back, and politely rejected Huang Zu's request , Continue to manage his Jingnan four counties with peace of mind.

Another envoy of Huang Zu went to Wancheng in Nanyang County, met Zhang Xiu, and handed over a letter, but Zhang Xiu had no friendship with Huang Zu, and refused to send troops on the grounds that he obeyed Liu Biao's request. .

After the two envoys returned to Xiling City, Huang Zu learned that Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu refused to send troops to help. He became furious and ordered a large-scale recruitment of soldiers.

For a while, Huang Zu set off an upsurge of conscription in Jiangxia, which made the people resentful, and the people also had the intention of resisting.

However, Huang Zu sent troops to suppress and slaughtered three villages one after another, which made the people in Jiangxia panic, and they dared not have any more objections, so they obediently joined the army.

For a while, Huang Zu recruited more than 2 soldiers in Jiangxia, but Huang Zu did not have so many weapons in his arsenal, only enough to fill a team of [-] people. Or holding a wooden stick, Huang Zu stuffed them into the team.

But Huang Zu wanted revenge, so he didn't care about these things. Together with the original 20 regular army, a total of [-] people, marched by land and water, and headed to Lujiang to avenge his son Huang She.

The news soon spread to Pengcheng. Zhang Yan was so angry that he immediately made a decision and took command in person. He led Zhao Yun's guard army of 1 people. General Kou Gao Shun is the vanguard of the left and right, and the prefect of Lujiang Lu Su is the staff officer, preparing to fight Huang Zu in Xunyang to the death.

The troops of Zhang Liao and Gao Shun have not left since they were transferred to Lujiang last time. Zhang Liao was stationed on the bank of the Yangtze River in Xunyang, Gao Shun was stationed near Xunyang City, and Lu Su, the prefect of Lujiang, did not leave either. It was a matter of appeasing the newly recruited Zhang Wu, Chen Sun, Gan Ning, Su Fei and others.

When Zhang Yan's order came, Zhang Liao and Gao joined forces on the bank by the way, ready to defend at all times, ready to face Huang Zu.

In the big camp by the river, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Lu Su, Gan Ning, Su Fei, Zhang Wu, Chen Sun and others all gathered in the big tent. According to the news from the scouts, Huang Zu's navy had arrived at Xiazhi. The army has also arrived in Qichun, with an army of 20. It is estimated that they will launch an attack on Xunyang tomorrow.

On the other hand, the scouts also found out that Huang Zu's main army was only 5 people, and the rest of the new recruits were a mob. Only 2 people had weapons, and the rest were just fakes.

So, everyone discussed together, and finally adopted Lu Su's opinion to lure the enemy deep.

Afterwards, everyone started a plan for this strategy. Lu Su, as a staff officer, made a plan, distributed the troops, and sent Zhang Wu and Chen Sun as bait to lure Huang Zu into the ambush circle, and then gathered superior forces, The first task is to eliminate Huang Zu.

As long as Huang Zu died, all the dragons under his command would be leaderless, and they would fall into chaos. At that time, if the army rushed out again, they would be able to win the battle.

Lu Su's strategy was very simple, and the task was very clear. After hearing this, everyone nodded their heads in agreement.

Since Zhang Wu and Chen Sun surrendered, they had made a small contribution last time, and this time they are also very motivated, and they are ready to make another contribution.

Gan Ning and Su Fei were also very motivated. Although they were Huang Zu's generals, they had not been reused, so they had always been dissatisfied. Moreover, Huang Zu monitored them very closely, so they transferred to Zhang Yan's tent this time. , has not yet achieved an inch of merit, and it is very important to regard this battle.

In addition, the subordinates of Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were also very enthusiastic. They were originally Yuan Shu's army, and they were recruited by Zhang Liao and Gao Shun. From the nearly 2 troops, only these [-] people were selected. , After years of training, not to mention high morale, but also a great desire for war.

After everyone's discussion, they began to implement the plan. Zhang Wu and Chen Sun still drove the light boat, picked out five hundred dead men from the headquarters, and prepared to fight tomorrow.

After Zhang Liao returned to the barracks, he also started to make some plans. Although Gan Ning and Su Fei surrendered, they had no military merits, and temporarily served as other commanders in Zhang Liao's army. He is a polished commander, and he is looking forward to this battle, hoping to kill Huang Zu in exchange for military merit.

When Gao Shun returned to the camp, he made some arrangements. The morale of the soldiers was high, and they were all gearing up.

And Lu Meng, who was dismissed from the post of Army Sima because of mistakenly killing Mi Fang, is just an ordinary soldier at this time, but in the army, his fellow countrymen still regard Lu Meng as Army Sima, so they still look forward to Lu Meng's horse.Moreover, the military commander of his battalion is also Lu Meng's younger brother, so as soon as he returned to the barracks, he would reveal the news of tomorrow's battle to Lu Meng.

Lu Meng is gearing up, eager to try, ready to kill a few more people tomorrow, earn some military merits, and still be his army commander.
