Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 268
Xu Chu took the order and immediately sent someone to look for Li Yuanba. This kid was wandering around now. After Xu Chu found Li Yuanba, Li Song didn't stay any longer and went directly back to Xuchang.

In order to get Sun Quan to point the finger at Jingzhou, Liu Bowen persuaded Gan Ning to lead the navy to leave Lujiang River, and gave Lujiang River to Sun Quan. Under Liu Bowen's operation, Sun Quan not only got the six counties in Jiangdong, but also completed the unfinished business of his elder brother Sun Ce , and at the same time clean up all those who opposed him.

In the case of internal stability, Jiangdong no longer has room for development, so Sun Quan, the proud lord of Jiangdong, set his sights on places other than Jiangdong for the first time, Jiangxia County in Jingzhou, and he could report the death of his father at will. hatred!
This is simply killing two birds with one stone!Not only has the territory expanded, but he can also avenge his dead father casually!So Sun Quan assembled an army to cross the Yangtze River and attack Jiangxia to avenge his father's death!
The news that Sun Quan was about to cross the river reached Liu Biao. Liu Biao hurriedly ordered Huang Zu, the prefect of Jiangxia, to build fortifications, and ordered Huang Zu not to act rashly.

After Huang Zu received Liu Biao's order, he immediately deployed defenses in Jiangxia, waiting for the arrival of Sun Quan's army. Since he could kill Sun Jian, he could naturally take Sun Quan's life.

A few days later, a ray of golden sunlight rose from one end of the horizon in the morning and fell on the ferry in Jiangxia. In the white fog that had not dissipated on the river, a few white spots were quietly approaching the port. Unaware.

"Why did you suddenly strengthen your defenses recently, especially on the port side? Dozens of warships are cruising around this area. Is it really to prevent the Jiangdong Sun Group from launching an attack on our Jingzhou?"

"Aren't you talking nonsense! If you don't guard against the attack of Jiangdong Sun's army, who will you guard against?"

"Then if they come, you won't be afraid that the imperial soldiers of Lujiang County will attack them, and those who disobey Sun Quan in Jiangdong will not take the opportunity to attack them?"

"Oh! You don't know yet! The court soldiers and horses in Lujiang County have withdrawn from Lujiang, and Sun Quan's soldiers took Lujiang without bloodshed. It didn't take much effort at all. Those who disobeyed Sun Quan were also dealt with. Now all the six counties in Jiangdong obey Sun Quan. orders."

A group of soldiers on guard at the port are gathering to discuss the current situation.

"What are so many people doing together? Do you want to be lazy? Why don't you go back and stand up for me, and stick to your post. If something goes wrong, then you can ask." A team leader brought two soldiers to check the post and found They gathered together and couldn't help yelling loudly.

These soldiers hurried back to their posts.

"Show me all the tricks!" After the team leader finished speaking, he left here and went to other places to inspect and check posts.

On the ship covered in mist, Dong Xi, the forward general of the Jiangdong Navy, said to the lieutenant next to him: "Let's start!"

The lieutenant waved to the bannerman behind him, and the bannerman immediately called out the banner of attack. The Jiangdong soldiers who had already been waiting for the attack drew their bows and shot the arrows in their hands at the guards of the port.

The off-string feather arrows roared towards the port, shooting the guards of the port to death, and the warship pushed away the waves and headed towards the port quickly.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Light up the smoke!" The port was already in chaos, and the beacon representing the enemy's attack was lit at the guard post, and Liu Biao's army came quickly.

The two sides launched a fight in this sea area, the shouts of killing resounded for hundreds of miles, the blood had already stained the river red, and the Jiangdong Army bravely launched charges again and again without fear of death.

"Maogong, you are in such a hurry, what's the matter?" Li Song was reviewing an important document, but he saw Xu Maogong hurriedly looking for him. Judging from his appearance, he should be running all the way and put down his hands. brush, Li Song asked.

"Report to the Prime Minister! Jiangdong has sent a piece of information!" Xu Maogong bowed his hands and responded.

"Could it be that Jiangdong Sun Quan and Liu Biao are already engaged?" Li Song asked.He signaled Xu Maogong to sit down, and Xu Maogong bowed his hands and thanked him!Then he knelt aside.

Calculating the time, it should be this time. Now it is November of the eighth year of Jian'an, Gan Ning has withdrawn from Jiangdong, and Sun Quan has eliminated all those jumping up and down in the backyard. Sun Quan, who has no worries about the future, naturally thinks of giving his father, Sun Jian. revenge.

"What the prime minister said was that after Sun Quan won the Lujiang River and quelled the civil strife, he planned to send troops to Jingzhou to avenge the murder of his father in the past!"

"Sun Quan ordered Zhou Yu to be the commander of the navy! Command Chen Wu, Dong Xi, Ling Tong and other generals to send troops to Jiangxia." Xu Maogong said.

"Oh! How's the battle going?" Li Song asked. Needless to say, he could have guessed that Huang Zu would definitely die in the hands of Sun Quan's army, but that was because Gan Ning was in Sun Quan's army, and now Gan Ning was under his command. For will.

This battle is hard to say, and there may be some deviations. Without Gan Ning, the Jiangdong Navy can defeat Huang Zu's Jingzhou Navy.

"At first, Sun Quan's army attacked Huang Zu by surprise. Later, Huang Zu stabilized the situation in time. This did not cause much loss. It can be regarded as resisting Sun Quan's first attack. Compared with Huang Zu, Sun Quan's loss was not at all. It's nothing." Xu Maogong said.

"It seems that Huang Zu has been able to guard Jiangxia for many years, and he is so respected by Liu Biao. It can be seen that he still has some ability. Sun Quan sent troops, so he can't just return without success like this." Li Song said.

"Of course not. During this period, Sun Quan's army finally launched a general attack on Jiangxia after many trials. It is said that the battle between the two armies was extremely fierce, and the entire river was stained red with blood, which has not dispersed yet." Xu Maogong said.

Li Song would never believe these things, nor did he care about them, "What happened later? Who won this battle?"

"It's Sun Quan! Huang Zu sent his generals Chen Jiu and Deng Long to defend against Sun Quan's attack. Chen Jiu and Deng Long were beheaded by Sun Quan's generals Chen Wu and Lu Meng. Huang Zu's army was defeated and Miankou missed."

"Later, Sun Quan's army divided into two groups and continued to erode Liu Biao's army in Jiangxia. In the end, Jiangxia fell into Sun Quan's hands, and Huang Zu was beheaded. Sun Quan won a complete victory in this battle." Xu Maogong said.

"In this way, Sun Quan will have revenge for his father! But even if Sun Quan's army wins, I'm afraid Liu Biao in Xiangyang will not ignore it!" Li Song said.

"That's right! After Liu Biao learned that Jiang Xia was lost and Huang Zu was killed, he appointed Cai Mao as the governor, and the commander of the army went to Jiang Xia, and Liu Biao's army recaptured Jiang Xia." Xu Maogong said.

In Li Song's view, this matter was very normal. How could Liu Biao let Sun Quan mess around under his nose, and it was within his expectation to send troops to retake Jiang Xia.
