Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 2045 Buying and selling without capital, the overall situation is the most important

  Autumn is coming.

  The night sky is full of stars.

  Can I still see this winter?

  Liu Biao stood on the terrace of the Mufu Yamen in Jingzhou, looking up at the sky, with a solemn and quiet expression, but his heart was churning non-stop. My luck seems to be coming to an end. And in this world, who is the son of luck?

   That unlucky Liu Xie is definitely not, after all, I have never seen that unlucky son of luck. Chong'er also fled all the way back then, but the process of fleeing was pretty good. Even if there were some hardships, he could generally maintain it. After returning to his own country, he quickly recovered his due status. How long has Liu Xie been the emperor?

   Liu Biao also thought and hoped that he was the one favored by God, but now he finds out that God has been joking with him all the time.

   So, Cao Cao?

   Or Feiqian?

  Although Liu Biao tried his best to stand up straighter, his physical ailments still made his originally tall and burly figure a bit hunched.

  Looking back on the past, Liu Biao found that he single-handedly created the peace and prosperity of Jingzhou, and also controlled all the military and political power in Jingzhou.

  However, it seems that everything ends here.

Liu Biao stretched out his hand, slowly, tremblingly, and stretched upwards, trying to straighten his body, but no matter how he stretched, it was obvious that he had made the best effort, but he was still so far away from the stars in the sky. It seemed that the hand he stretched out was meaningless.

In the past few days, he has issued various orders frequently, firmly resisting Cao Cao's army, and at the same time comforting the people from all sides in the city, gritted his teeth and held on, as if he had no pain at all. . In the eyes of others, perhaps Liu Biao is still tall and mighty. Only in Liu Biao's own heart can he understand what he sees in his eyes at the moment.

  The wave of blood has already rolled in from the north.

  Death is already an indelible smell on the body.

Although at this moment, the city of Xiangyang is still stable, although he still has follow-up measures in development, although there are still soldiers and high walls, but Liu Biao looked at the endless darkness under the night, he Only the fear of death was felt, and shuddered by it.

  This time...

   No kidding...

  Because this time, God didn't even bother to joke with him...

   Liu Biao withdrew his hand silently. I don't know if it was because of illness or other reasons, but Liu Biao's expression was even a little hideous.

   Wanting my life is not that easy!

  In the north of Xiangyang, the sparkling flames and the loud sounds of fighting rang out again.

  The good appetite of Cao Jun, who was going south, hit a tough bone for the first time.

  On the Han River, near the Xiangyang Bridge, the fierce fighting has continued for several hours.

  It was already dark, but the flames were burning, as if they were spreading on the Han River along with the blood.

   Arrows with flames kept flying across the air, illuminating the corpses on the bridge and on the shore and on the boat. Soldiers covered in blood all over their bodies floated up and down with the Han River, and it was unclear which side had more of these dead soldiers, Cao Hong's or Gan Ning's.

  Gan Ning always went to the water village, commanded the water army and went straight to the Xiangyang Bridge, and started a fight with Cao Hong. On the other hand, Xiahoudun also arrived under Fancheng and began to attack Fancheng. In the two battlefields not far apart, whoever decides the outcome first may be able to grab the upper hand.

  On the banks of the Hanshui River and on the Xiangyang Bridge, countless dog-tooth fights, flickering fires, blood-stained swords and guns, and mournful shouts, it seems that the end of the world has come to this land.

  Cao Hong did not expect that the opening seemed to be very smooth, and then encountered such a strong resistance.

Amidst the chaotic and noisy voices, Cao Hong rode his war horse, his eyes were constantly patrolling back and forth in the three directions of the river, the bridge, and Xiangyang City, and from time to time he issued an order to send a reserve team or form an army formation mobilization to cope with changes in the battlefield.

  Of course, for Cao Hong, the safest course of action is to withdraw from the North Camp in Xiangyang and leave the attack range of the Hanshui River. Even if Gan Ning has a navy, he can’t bring his boat to the shore, right? But in this way, it means that Cao Hong will give up the previous results. Jingzhou will definitely take the opportunity to destroy Xiangyang Bridge, and it will undoubtedly be more difficult to cross the river to attack Xiangyang City again.

  So Cao Hong was unwilling to back down.

But not giving in, it means that Cao Hong's troops must guard against the Xiangyang Bridge, and also guard against the landing of the Ganning navy in the Han River, and be careful of the civilian troops who may rush out of Xiangyang City at any time. The pressure is not ordinary Big.

  At first, Cao Hong thought he could withstand the pressure.

   Then he was wrong.

  Although Cao Hong’s body sitting on the horse’s back was stable on the surface, the hand holding the rein behind the horse’s neck trembled a little. The reason for trembling was that Cao Hong found that he was a little careless, or that the entire Xiahou family under Cao Cao's rule was a little careless...

  In this world, Fei Qian is not the only opponent. Even Liu Biao, who most people thought was nothing special before, still made Cao Hong a little bit overwhelmed when he launched a ruthless attack.

  The key point is the Jingzhou Navy.

If Gan Ning's combat strength on land is considered to be one hundred, then in water, Gan Ning can display a combat strength of one hundred and twenty. After the initial attack on the Xiangyang Bridge failed, Gan Ning quickly adjusted They formed an array to suppress the Cao army from both land and water directions, and the Cao soldiers led by Cao Hong, because they did not have much combat experience with the water army, made them slightly passive from the beginning and were in a position of being suppressed and beaten. Status, if Cao's army was not stronger than Jingzhou soldiers on land, and their equipment was better, they might have collapsed and fled immediately.

  For several hours, dozens of ships were dispatched back and forth, and thousands of soldiers attacked in turn. With the help of the Han River, Gan Ning flexibly changed his formation, and Gan Ning continued to exert tremendous pressure on Cao Hong.

  Maybe Cao Hong failed to remember Gan Ning's name before, but I believe that from this day and night onwards with Gan Ning, Gan Xingba's name will remain in Cao Hong's heart.

   At the head of Xiangyang City, Wenpin quietly watched the competition near the Xiangyang Bridge.

  Pang Ji asked anxiously: "General Wen, are you still not attacking?" 』

  『The central army of Cao’s army still hasn’t moved...’ Wenpin said slowly, 『I never thought that Cao’s soldiers could be so tenacious...』

  『Then General Gan...』 Pang Ji hesitated to speak.

  Wen Pin didn't even move his eyes, "Xingba must know it well..."

  Pang Ji was stunned for a moment, then sighed slightly. What can this be? trust? A kind of mutual trust that is finally kneaded when the danger is in front of you? Pang Ji didn't know, but felt that it was a pity. If everyone entrusted and trusted each other like this from the beginning, how good would it be?

   Just when Pang Ji was distracted, Wen Pin suddenly slapped the battlement, "Come on!" Order, line up! Ready to get out of town! 』

  Then Wen Pin turned and looked at Pang Ji. Before Wen Pin could speak, Pang Ji said, "Don't worry, General Wen! Where certain is, the city is here! 』

  When Xiangyang’s Wenpin attacked, Cao Hong realized that he made a second mistake, perhaps it should be avoidable, and it should be a mistake to be avoided. The first mistake was to underestimate the combat effectiveness of the Jingzhou navy such as Gan Ning, and the second mistake was to underestimate the bravery of Wenpin.

The first mistake can be made up and resisted by relying on the fortifications of Xiangyang Bridge and Xiangyang Beidaying. However, when facing Wenpin and Gan Ning's pincer attack at the same time, Cao's soldiers were caught off guard and barely resisted for about half a stick of incense. And shaking is inevitable.

  『Mingjin! withdraw troops! Seeing that the rout had begun to spread in one corner of the battlefield, Cao Hong saw that if he persisted, he would sooner or later implicate the main formation, so he ordered the Xiangyang North Camp to be burned to stop Wenpin's pursuit, and on the one hand, he used the Xiangyang Bridge as a cover, Even the last few Cai's warships were mobilized, so that Cao's soldiers could evacuate from the south bank of the Han River.

  At the same time, Cao Hong led the cavalry and made a clean surprise attack on the Ganning Navy and Marine Corps who came ashore to pursue them. They defeated them directly, relieved the pressure on Cao's soldiers to retreat, and finally saved some face...

Just when Xiangyang City was preparing to welcome the joy of defeating Cao Hong, the bad news was like pouring cold water on its head. Fancheng fell. Xiahou Dun commanded Cao Jun to feign a frontal attack. The guard Liu Pan is missing.

   Meanwhile, in the Gangneung area to the south, terrible chaos is spreading.

After the defense system of Jiangling City and Maicheng was completely broken by Jiangdong soldiers, Nanjun almost announced that it had officially opened the gate. Jiangdong soldiers did not stop to repair, but quickly expanded the flames and edge of the war to other counties and towns in Nanjun. The village, in June, almost all of Jingzhou Nanjun fell into Jiangdong's hands.

  The killings caused by resistance are staged in every corner of South County from time to time, and not resisting is not a good choice, because war is often accompanied by violence and plunder.

Because of the regional development in the Han Dynasty, Jiangdong was on the fringe of the Han Dynasty, and it was completely a small red man in the countryside, while Jingzhou was the gateway to the Central Plains, and business from south to north prospered here, making Jingzhou no matter whether it is a resident population or a city. The business economy is very good, so no matter from which aspect, Jingzhou Nanjun can be regarded as a big piece of fat.

The people of the Han Dynasty lack fat, so they like to eat fat meat. Although Jiang Dong has always boasted how good he is, when he sees fat meat, his uncontrollable appetite always reveals his primitive nature and begins to plunder in an organized way. stand up.

  First, the soldiers expelled the people in the city, and the entire area was expelled. The cries of men, women, and children merged into one, and some tried to escape, but were quickly caught, and then blood flew out, splashing everywhere.

  Then the people in these areas are rushed to the ferry like cattle and sheep, boarded a boat, and sent down the river to Jiangdong.

Under such operations, all the things in these counties have naturally become ownerless things. Naturally, everyone has a share. The officials take the big head, and the soldiers take the small head. I can't even put it in my purse.

It is very interesting that such looting is mostly limited to the county towns, and the remote mountain villages and stockades have survived. It is very simple, because Jiangdong soldiers also want to eat, and they want the farmers and women in these villages to continue to work until The end of the autumn harvest.

   Zhou Yu expressed disapproval of this behavior, but it was not easy to object.

Because Zhou Yu knows that there are two main reasons for such eager plundering. One is distrust of Sun Quan's distribution after the war. I don't trust the safety issue, and I don't know who is cheaper in the Jiangling area of ​​Jingzhou in the end, so it's better to make a little money early.

  Sun Quan was very complacent, which can be seen from Sun Quan's constant urging of Zhou Yu to move his troops to Jiangling. Under such continuous orders, Zhou Yu had to leave Chaisang and move his army to Jiangxia, but at this moment, a small accident broke Sun Quan's good mood.

  The people of South Vietnam rebelled.

  The rebellion is doubled again...

In the beginning, it was not that bad on the whole, maybe it was just a quarrel, or an inadvertent collision. Logically speaking, both the Jiangdong people and the Nanyue people were at fault, but the Jiangdong county magistrate didn't take it seriously at all. Partially Xiang Jiangdong, convicted the South Vietnamese, and then showed them in shackles.

Generally speaking, this is the way it is. The Nanyue people suffer from being dumb and bury their resentment in their hearts. But the problem is that this time they met a real Nanyue. Began to be unreasonable.

  The subsequent development of the matter was beyond the imagination of the Dongxing county magistrate, and it was completely out of control.

The Nanyue people banded together and took advantage of the time of the market to raid Dongxing County. Some of the soldiers in the county were dispatched to attack Jingzhou, and the other part was unable to resist due to laxity. The Nanyue people took the city gate in one fell swoop. Killed into the city!

  At first, the Nanyue people just wanted to rescue their own family members who had been wrongly sentenced, but what they didn’t expect was that Jiangdong’s soldiers were so unbearable, which immediately made these Nanyue people excited. The large amount of plundered property also expanded the minds of these South Vietnamese, and more and more South Vietnamese began to join this business without capital.

   On the other hand, the Jiangdong local officials who had the accident did not consider reporting it first, but habitually covered it up. After all, between the people of Nanyue and Jiangdong, some conflicts broke out from time to time, big or small. If everything was reported to Sun Quan, wouldn't it make Sun Quan feel incompetent? So these Jiangdong local officials, while hugging Mei Ji, drank some wine, and then ordered some soldiers to be dispatched to counter the rebellion.

   Wasn’t it suppressed like this before? If you can settle it down, then naturally it's not a big deal.

   The result is a big problem.

Because the county town where the soldiers were transferred was not just the one where the rebellion broke out, the strong and experienced soldiers were transferred to fight Jingzhou, and the remaining soldiers were either poor-looking, old or weak, and There were no effective generals and commanders, and they led the troops openly with arrogance. They marched in the mountains ostentatiously, preparing to encircle and suppress the rebellious Nanyue people, and then they were ambushed by the Nanyue people, and they were beaten and fled.

The situation finally became uncontrollable. The Nanyue people not only captured Dongxing County, but also successively took advantage of the situation to attack Yongcheng and Nancheng. When the news was received, it was said that there were already more than 20,000 people, and the number of South Vietnamese who heard the news was still increasing. Every time a military report was sent, the number would skyrocket.

  As for that damned prefect of Linchuan, no one knows where he went, there is no news of him, and his life and death are uncertain.

   This riot almost stabbed Sun Quan in the waist and eyes, making Sun Quan bloody.

  『This is a false report! ’ Sun Quan was furious, and threw the general report on the ground, ‘In a few days, there will be hundreds of thousands of people! Could it be that all the people from South Vietnam can't make it to Linchuan? ! absurd! Such evasive and incompetent people should be punished for their crimes! 』

Sun Quan is not an idiot either, of course he also knows that these guys did not report at the beginning, and then began to exaggerate when there were problems that could not be covered up, in order to show that it was not that he was incompetent, but that the opponent was too strong, so can't resist...

  『Go and pass on Zhu Junli! 』Sun Quan was still furious.

  But the follower who went to find Zhu Zhi came back soon and reported that Zhu Zhi was sick...

"sick? 』Sun Quan sneered, naturally he didn't believe it, and after wandering around for a few times, he set off for Zhu Zhi's mansion.

  Sun Quan came in person, so Zhu Zhi naturally couldn't pretend.

  『A thousand days of raising a man should be used for a short time! Sun Quan looked at Zhu Zhi, and said in a deep voice, "Now that there are changes in Linchuan, I hope that the ruler will put the overall situation first, command the troops and put down the rebellion!" 』

  Zhu Zhi looked at Sun Quan quietly, "Dare to ask my lord, what is the overall situation?" In the old days in the city, **** Zixiu humiliated someone, is it also the protagonist's "overall situation"? 』

  Sun Quan asked Jiyan to incite the people. Although he did it secretly, after all, the Jiangdong gentry were not vegetarians. After careful investigation, some clues could be found.

  Sun Quan's face changed, he stared at Zhu Zhi firmly, Zhu Zhi did not retreat at all, and looked at each other proudly.

  『What do you want? 』Sun Quan did not quibble, maybe he also knew that since Zhu Zhi said it, there must be some evidence, so it may not be useful to quibble.

  『Sexy and fierce, slandering and framing, harming colleagues, the crime should be executed! ’Zhu Zhi said bluntly.

  Sun Quan slapped the table, "Bold! 』

"Ming Gong..." Zhu Zhi said slowly, not only the words used, but also the tone was very similar to what Sun Quan said before, "I also hope that Ming Gong will "focus on the overall situation"... If Linchuan is not peaceful, Changsha will be chaotic again." , Ming Gongdang how? 』

  Linchuan is still smaller, and Changsha County is Sun Quan's hometown. If he really cooperates with the people of Nanyue, it will not be a matter of being stabbed, but Jiangdong will be corrupted immediately.

Sun Quan gritted his teeth and arched his back, as if he would jump up in the next moment, just like Zhu Zhi desperately. ! That's all for now! 』

  Zhu Zhi was silent for a moment, then lowered his head, "My lord is wise. 』

   Originally, Zhu Zhi didn't think about killing Ji Yan in one go, saying that the death penalty was just for bargaining. And this kind of transaction is not the first time, nor will it be the last time...

Happy new year!

   In the year of the ox, things are full of bullishness, everything goes smoothly and everything goes well!
