Zhang Ji and Zhang Xian were a little horrified when they heard what Heng Jie said.
If Jiangdong really has a way to seize Jingzhou, will the world really change its course?
Seeing that Zhang Xian and Zhang Ji seemed to be persuaded by him, Hengjie continued: "Even if Jiangdong has no intention of seizing Jingzhou, Jiangdong is still a close neighbor to us."
"If Liu Biao of Jingzhou invades us again, we don't need to worry about Jiangdong taking the opportunity to invade us too."
After Hengjie said this, he didn't say anything more, but looked at Zhang Xian.
The hall fell silent instantly.
After a while, Zhang Xian breathed out and said, "Okay, I know what to do."
Looking at Zhang Ji and Heng Jie, Zhang Xian said: "Let's go to the city gate together now to welcome Chen Deng and the trapped camp!"
The three of them led the soldiers from the government office and headed towards the east gate of the city.
At this time, at the east gate of the city, Chen Deng was sitting on his knees beside a table, drinking tea and cakes leisurely.
Beside him, Gao Shun stood motionless.
Behind the two of them, there were seven hundred traps.
Each camp was led by horses, and their heavy armor and weapons were placed on the horses.
On the city wall, the Changsha defenders looked down at this scene and were amazed.
More than seven hundred pairs of heavy armor!
This Jiangdong is so rich!
Every piece of heavy armor was incredibly valuable to them.
At this moment, a group of people came into the city.
The leader was Zhang Xian, the governor of Changsha.
The soldiers guarding the city turned their heads and looked at Zhang Xian and his men.
A soldier rushed over and shouted: "Open the city gate and welcome the noble envoy!"
"Open the city gate and welcome your envoy!"
Roaring sounds sounded one after another.
Gao Shun, who was motionless, looked at Chen Deng beside him and said, "Military advisor, they are willing to see us."
Chen Deng raised his head, looked at Gao Shun with a smile and said: "Our mission this time has been completed. We captured the three counties of Changsha without any effort, which is enough to be recorded in the history books."
"Now, in Jiangdong, only Jiaozhou and Jian'an are left without surrender."
"If we capture Jingzhou again this time, we can easily capture these two places."
"General Gao, we may really be witnessing the rise of a new country!"
A gleam of light flashed in Gao Shun's eyes.
At this time, the city gate opened.
Zhang Xian came out of the city with Zhang Ji, Hengjie and other officials and soldiers.
Chen Deng hurriedly signaled to the soldiers trapped in the camp to carry away the table and tea, straightened his clothes, and went up with Gao Shun.
At the time of the meeting between Chen Deng and Zhang Xian, the governor of Changsha, Yuzhang County, Lukou Port.
The river was lined with warships.
There are soldiers practicing on the battlefield and in the river.
The sound of scolding was endless.
At this time, Taishi Ci was patrolling with his generals on the dock.
Seeing Xu Shu facing the scorching sun and instructing the soldiers to train over and over again, Taishi Ci walked up with a smile, took out a water bottle from his waist, unscrewed the cap, handed it over and said: "Yuanzhi, take a drink!"
Xu Shu signaled his deputy to continue directing the training of the soldiers, took the kettle from Taishi Ci, took a sip, and asked Xu Shu: "What do you think of the intelligence that Xizuo sent back today?"
Taishi Ci said: "There is no information from Xizuo today."
Xu Shu frowned and handed the kettle over without saying a word.
Tai Shici said: "If you are worried about Wu Hou's safety, you might as well send a capable team over."
Xu Shu waved his hand and said: "No one in Jingzhou has seen Wu Hou at all. If we don't send anyone there, Wu Hou will be safe."
"After all, no one would have thought that the dignified Marquis Wu would actually go to a feudal territory like Jingzhou."
"I'm just worried about Wu County."
"Marquis Wu had just captured Jiangdong, but he appointed Chen Deng, Yan Xiang and others to important positions."
"If Wu Hou's plan is wrong this time, how will Chen Deng, Yan Xiang and others think about it?"
"Especially Chen Deng. I heard that when he was in Xuzhou, he was like the grass on the wall, falling in the wind."
"Unreliable."
"I don't know why Wu Hou must let such a person serve as military advisor and general."
"I only know that Marquis Wu has endured a lot of hardships from his humble beginnings as the leader of the nest to the present day. It's not easy."
"I really don't want him to experience another setback."
Taishi Ci put his arm around Xu Shu's shoulders and said, "In my opinion, you just think too much."
"Marquis Wu has always been extremely smart. He asked us to come here to train troops, hide the soldiers in the hinterland, wait for changes on the other side, and then attack Jiangling. Then he must be sure."
"Think about when we first met, could you have imagined that he could become the lord of Jiangdong? Could he lead us to seize such an inheritance?"
"I know you care about Wu Hou, but you should also have more confidence in him."
"Besides, I have also been in contact with Chen Deng and Yan Xiang. They are pretty good!"
"I didn't know them before."
"But, now that I have contacted them, I think they are quite loyal to Wu Hou."
"Stop imagining things."
Xu Shu put his right hand on the hilt of his sword and said with a serious face: "I know, but I still have to worry. If, if they really dare to do tricks in Wu County, I, Xu Shu, will never let them go!"
At this moment, a soldier walked up quickly from behind and said, "General, there is military news coming from Changsha!"
Taishi Ci and Xu Shu's expressions suddenly changed.
Military news coming from Changsha?
Could it be that Changsha is going to take advantage of this opportunity to attack?
If this is the case, then the Jiangling enemy forces will attack again——
Taishi Ci hurriedly took a bamboo tube from the soldier's hand.
There is a piece of cloth stuffed in the bamboo tube.
Taishi Ci shook it off in a hurry.
I saw it read: "The governor of Changsha appointed Chief Secretary Heng Jie to lead an army of five thousand, starting from Baqiu Port and waiting to march to Jiangling at any time. When Taishi Duwei set out for the expedition, he sent someone to contact him and attack from two directions. Looking forward to Taishi Duwei Complete the mission of the lord and return with great victory——Chen Deng.”
Taishi Ci looked ecstatic, handed the cloth to Xu Shu and said: "Changsha actually sent troops to help! But why did Chen Deng send this letter from Changsha?"
Xu Shu looked at the content on the cloth, and the hand holding the cloth trembled slightly.
What did Chen Deng do?
The possible crisis in Changsha has been resolved!
Having received a tip from Lu Yi before, Taishi Ci was ready to send troops to Jiangling at any time. For safety reasons, he also arranged for 3,000 soldiers to be on guard against Changsha.
Unexpectedly, instead of having to guard against Changsha, we can also welcome 5,000 Changsha reinforcements!
Then, the possibility of winning Gangneung this time is greatly increased!
After Xu Shu read the content on the banner, he hurriedly said to Taishi Ci: "Contact Hengjie at Baqiu Port and ask him to use the smoke as a signal! If the smoke rises, there is no need to wait for us to contact him, he will directly lead his army to attack Jiangling!" "
Taishi Ci greeted the soldiers, wrote a letter, and asked the soldiers to take them to Hengjie in Baqiu Port.
Three days later at dusk, when Taishi Ci was patrolling with his soldiers, information finally came from Xizuo: The Jingzhou garrison opposite Jiangling had no change in the port, but the soldiers in the belly were quietly rushing to Xiangyang!
Taishi Ci flew towards Xu Shu.
When Xu Shu heard what Taishi Ci said, he looked a little excited and said to Taishi Ci: "General, there are changes in Jingzhou, we can launch an attack!"
Taishi Ci drew out his sword and said with some excitement: "Soldiers, organize the army, light the smoke, and attack Jiangling immediately!"
Suddenly, all the soldiers in Lukou Port started to move.
Jiangxia County, Xiakou, Jingzhou Military Camp, Commander's Tent.
At this time, a group of generals were gathering.
Sitting in the center of the handsome tent was Huang Zu, the governor of Jiangxia.
Huang Zu glanced at all the generals in the handsome tent and said in a hoarse voice: "Everyone is here?"
To his left, a young general stood up and said: "General, all generals are under account!"
This young man's name is Huang She, the eldest son of Huang Zu.
Huang Zu nodded, glanced at everyone and said, "Masters, we urgently summoned you to gather together today because of urgent information coming from Xiangyang."
"Our Jingzhou Mu died of illness in Xiangyang, and the new Jingzhou Mu was succeeded by the second son Liu Cong."
The generals suddenly became noisy.
"How could Zhou Mu die of illness? When I saw him three times last year, he was still rosy-cheeked and high-spirited!"
"In the end what happened?"
"How can the second young master take over the position of state pastor at such a young age?"
"Where's the eldest son?"
Huang Zu raised his hand, interrupted the discussion of the generals, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know what happened! However, we are soldiers, and soldiers have only one mission, and that is to obey orders and fight! Other things are not ours to consider. .”
"Now, the new Jingzhou Mu has taken over."
"However, Liu Pan, the former governor of Zhangling, led his army to besiege Xiangyang City."
"Xinjingzhou Mu has sent a letter asking for help, asking us to lead our troops to rush to the rescue."
After saying that, he took a letter from the desk in front of him and asked Huang She to pass it on.
After all the generals finished reading, Huang Zu said: "So, now, I will assign the task."
"Where is Huang She?"
To Huang Zu's left hand, Huang She stood up and said loudly: "The general is here!"
Huang Zu handed him the tiger talisman and said: "This is the tiger talisman of the commander of Xiakou. Now you will lead three thousand soldiers to guard Xiakou and prevent the Lujiang River from attacking."
Huang She took the tiger talisman and said loudly: "I will complete the mission to the death!"
Huang Zu then looked at the others and said: "Huang Hao, Cui Ze, and Duan Qiu, you must immediately rectify the six thousand troops and horses, follow me to rush to Xiangyang, and set off immediately after dark!"
The three generals stood up, clasped their fists together and said, "Here!"
At this moment, a tall young man with a scar on the left side of his face who looked extraordinary stood up and said: "No! Absolutely not! If the prefect leads an army of 6,000 to assist Xiangyang this time, Jiangxia will be in danger!"
Everyone looked at the young man.
Huang Zu was about to leave.
At this time, his face looked a little ugly, and he scolded: "Gan Xingba, what are you talking about? Don't think that just because I love you, you can talk nonsense!"
Gan Xingba, also called Gan Ning, Xingba is his cousin. Today, he serves as a school captain under Huang Zu.
Gan Ning faced Huang Zu's scolding, but remained calm and said: "Prefect, Liu Pan is a fool, he is a fool! He is besieging Xiangyang City, there is no need to be afraid. Just send a letter to Xiangyang, let him Xinjingzhou Mugu City is guarded, and when Liu Pan runs out of food and grass, he will retreat."
"At that time, if the army attacks from the city, it will definitely kill him by surprise."
"The real danger is actually us, Jiangxia."
"The previous Jingzhou Mu passed away and the new Jingzhou Mu came to the throne. The change of power was a time of turmoil."
"The Jiangdong Army in Lujiang County, if they get the news, if you lead the army to leave again, Governor, they will definitely mobilize in full force."
"By then, Jiangxia will definitely be lost!"
Huang Zu directly took pictures of the case and said: "Gan Xingba, if you continue to make alarmist remarks, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
The other generals all whispered to each other and laughed.
This Gan Ning is really self-righteous.
Huang Zu, the prefect, has been in charge of Jiangxia for several years and is very good at dealing with Jiangdong. Isn't his understanding of Jiangdong not as good as that of a yellow-haired boy like you?
Gan Ning said in a deep voice: "Prefect, I am not alarmist, I am just stating the facts! If I were the defender of Lujiang County, I-"
Huang Zu narrowed his eyes and interrupted Gan Ning: "Gan Xingba, from now on, you will be removed from your position as captain. You will have a good rest in the camp for the time being. Ziyong will be responsible for all affairs, and the generals left behind must obey orders!" "
After saying that, he ignored Gan Ning and strode outside the commander's tent.
