Chapter 124
"Is Sun Quan crazy?" Xiangyang Cheng, the governor's mansion, just received a report from the general that Sun Quan led a large army across the river and attacked Jiangling. Cai Mao and others said incredible.
As soon as Sun Ce died, Jiangdong was unstable. Sun Quan quickly stabilized the situation and ran to attack Jingzhou in such a hurry. He really thought Jingzhou was made of mud.
"For the sake of the present plan, we must first block the offensive of the Jiangdong Army. Now that Jiangxia has been broken, there is no danger in the Jiangling area." Kuai Liang shook his head and said.
I don’t care about the attack in Jiangdong. The total number of water and land troops in Jingzhou is 150,000. Although Jiangdong has been in great trouble in the past two years, it is limited by the region and the population is not strong. In terms of war potential, it is far inferior to Jingzhou.
"Okay, this time, I'll go to meet Zhou Yu in person." Cai Mao snorted coldly. As the commander-in-chief of the Jingzhou Navy, he was not afraid of the Jiangdong Navy. Although he might not be able to fight, it would be fine to block Jiangdong troops outside the city in terms of equipment and quantity.
"The foreign degree will also go with the Grand Governor." Kuai Liang nodded, turned his head to look at Kuai Yue.
"Yes." Kuai Yue stood up and was about to leave, but he saw a small school outside running towards him. Before he could come in, he roared shrillly: "Lord, generals, Jiangdong soldiers have entered the city!"
"What?" Cai Mao, Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, Zhang Yun and others were shocked when they heard this, but then they thought of the high walls and thick moats in Xiangyang. There were more than 10,000 soldiers guarding the city. Even if they were attacked by Jiangdong soldiers, they should not be defeated so quickly.
Cai Mao snatched up a few steps, grabbed the other party's neck, and sternly said: "What nonsense?"
The little school said with a sad face: "I dare not deceive the general, the Jiangdong bandits have really entered!"
"How is that possible!" Cai Mao threw him to the ground: "Where did the bandits come from? How did they enter the city? Are the soldiers guarding the city all waste?"
"I dare not deceive the governor, and the last general didn't know what was going on. But suddenly a large number of defeated troops came, saying that Jiangdong soldiers rushed in."
Cai Mao frowned and asked again, but it was already messy outside. The sound of crying and shouting at his parents became a whole lot, mixed with the sound of weapons colliding with shrill screams and roars.
Cai Mao was stunned for a moment, then became a little angry, and slapped the table suddenly and said, "What exactly are the city gate guards doing for? Come and gather troops!"
Kuai Yue frowned and said, "The enemy came silently, and I guess there were not many people."
"No," Cai Mao nodded. As the commander of Jingzhou, he still had this ability to distinguish. He sneered: "The thieves don't know how to live or die. They first dealt with these stupid thieves, and then led their troops south to fight back Sun Quan's troops!"
"Can it be Huang Zhong's troops attacked under the name of Jiangdong?" Kuai Yue frowned.
Cai Mao was silent when he heard this. If Huang Zhong really came here, it would be really hard to deal with. Xinye had a large number of troops stationed and had great justice in his hands. If it were them, things would be difficult to deal with.
"Bang~"
Just as everyone was talking, the gate of the county government suddenly exploded without warning. What caught my eye was a sledgehammer. As soon as a general guarding the city lord's mansion pounced on it, the other party smashed it into meat paste with a hammer.
"Be arrogant, take it down for me!" Cai Mao shouted sternly when he saw this.
The escorts of the governor's mansion who had just gathered shouted and rushed towards Sun Yi who was blocking the yamen gate. Sun Yi didn't care. He swung the sledgehammer in his hand, no matter what kind of swords, guns, swords and halberds you were swept away. Hundreds of guards surrounded Sun Yi, and they were beaten by Sun Yi in an instant and ran away with their heads in their arms. The pair of sledgehammers were swung away, and they were really killed when they were touched.
The other soldiers saw that Sun Yi was so powerful that they dared not get close. However, Sun Yi was reluctant to let him go and chased the group of people with a sledgehammer, as if they had found a toy.
A drop of cold sweat fell from Cai Mao's forehead. This was the first time he saw such a fierce person.
"Shubi, don't be too playful, take those people down quickly!" Zhou Yu rushed in with his men. When he saw Cai Mao and others, his eyes lit up and he shouted at Sun Yi.
"Okay!" Sun Yi laughed loudly when he heard this, and walked towards Cai Mao and others with great strides. Seeing this, a group of Jingxiang soldiers around him instinctively made way out, and no one dared to stop him.
Cai Mao had his sword in his hand, but facing Sun Yi who was stroking, he didn't even have the strength to move a moment, and his whole body seemed to be frozen.
"Zhou Yu! Why did you offend my city??" Kuai Liang tried hard to calm himself down and looked at Zhou Yu. Both of them were famous scholars and had dated in their early years, but later they were their own masters and broke off contact.
"Brother Zirou, please forgive me." Zhou Yu bowed slightly and smiled, "Yu doesn't want to mention the grudge between Jingzhou and Jiangdong again, but now Xiangyang has been controlled by our army. It is useless to say more. I hope you don't mislead yourself."
Kuai Liang sneered: "There shouldn't be many soldiers under Gongjin."
"It's not much." Zhou Yu said frankly: "But just need to control you, I think Xiangyang will not be in chaos. After my main capture of Jiangling, someone will take over Xiangyang."
Kuai Liang, Cai Mao and others looked ugly. The top leaders of Jingzhou were all here. As long as they were controlled, Jingzhou had only more than 100,000 troops, but they could not be mobilized at all. They could only watch Sun Quan calmly conquer the city of Jingzhou.
The chaos in Xiangyang did not last long. Although Kuai Liang, Cai Mao and others were unwilling to accept it, their lives were in their hands. Sun Yi stopped in the hall without saying a word. As long as there was an abnormal movement, he swung it over without saying a word. Looking at the hammer that was bigger than his head, who dared to say no to Zhou Yu? In less than three hours, Zhou Yu mastered all the defenders in the city, and then followed Liu Xie's method, detained all the generals among the generals, and then promoted the original grassroots generals.
He took office and quickly controlled the 30,000 troops in Jingzhou. At the same time, he ordered people to go to the general to send a message. Although the raid was in a hurry, Zhou Yu was obviously prepared. He caught Sun Yi off guard and occupied the city gate. Then he ignored the others and quickly captured the senior officials of Jingzhou. All plans had been planned countless times on the road. If they failed, they would immediately escape and successfully occupied Xiangyang, leaving Jingzhou counties without leaders and gradually encroached on the Jiangdong army.
However, Xiangyang is not far from Xinye. As soon as he takes action, Huang Zhong, who is stationed in Xinye, has already received the news.
"Xiangyang was broken?" Three hours later, Huang Zhong, who was stationed in Xiangyang, had already received the news. He looked at the person who was summoning him in shock, looking disbelief. This was too fast.
"It's true." The person who came to report was a general in Jingzhou, who was also the secret guard who was stationed in Xiangyang by the imperial court. At this moment, he looked at Huang Zhong with a wry smile and said, "The general doesn't know that there is a general in the Jiangdong army, who is quite powerful, holding two giant hammers. Wherever he passes, he is overturned. He is alone, and he can compete with the enemy for thousands of jin. After taking advantage of the fact that the soldiers guarding the city are not being arrested and occupying the city gate, this person rushed into Xiangyang City. Before Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others react, they will be captured. Zhou Yu then arrived. With the cooperation of these people, the Xiangyang defenders played almost no role and became surrendered."
Huang Zhong widened his eyes incredibly. He was just joking. He rushed from the city gate to the governor's mansion alone, and when the other party could not react at all, how fast was it?
Huang Zhong asked himself, looking at the world, there were only a few opponents, but even at his peak, Huang Zhong did not dare to be so crazy. He could quickly control the head of the city by himself, which was no longer something that the general could do.
"General, what should I do?" Han De, Wen Pin, Liu Pan, Liu Hu and others on the side looked at Huang Zhong. Liu Biao had already sent him away, but these Jingzhou generals were kept by Liu Biao to help Huang Zhong.
what to do?
Huang Zhong hesitated for a moment and said, "When Jingzhou changes its owner, the people's hearts will inevitably be unstable, and since the Jiangdong troops are raiding, there may not be many troops!"
"The general's intention is..." Han De's eyes lit up and he looked at Huang Zhongdao.
"Transfer our military orders and cross the Han River immediately and attack Xiangyang!" Huang Zhong said in a deep voice.
Xiangyang is an important town in Jingzhou. As long as it is taken down, it will be beneficial but not harmful to the court's entry into Jingzhou. The most important thing is that since Xiangyang is controlled by Jiangdong soldiers and Liu Cong used to control Xiangyang, they were all royal relatives. Moreover, Xiangyang and the court had nothing to do with each other before, and even helped each other for many times, it was difficult for the court to attack each other. But now that Xiangyang is occupied by the Sun family in Jiangdong, this concern naturally no longer exists.
