Zhang Ning keenly captured a piece of information from Liu Pi’s remarks, that is, the surname of the distinguished guest mentioned by Gong Du and Liu Pi. Although Zhang Ning is only a female streamer, he usually likes to talk about the world with Xu Huang. There is still some understanding of the civil servants and generals under Fang's princes, and the surname Jian is not too many among the civil and military under the princes of the world.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Ning had already vaguely guessed who Mrs. Jane was in Liu Pi’s mouth, and could not help but sneered: "Little sister, what kind of master do you find? It turned out to be just a mourning dog. Little sister persuades the two. Brother must understand the situation clearly and don't miss your own future and life."
Gong Du hurriedly folded his hands and said, "Everything but the young master's orders,"
People go to high places, and water flows to low places. It is clear at a glance whether Liu Bei and Liu Xin are strong or weak. Since there is a high branch like Liu Xin that can be climbed, where is Gong Du stupidly willing to go to Liu Bei’s thief ship,
Zhang Ning was very satisfied with Gong Du’s static state, nodded, and said: "The two brothers only need to sacrifice the so-called adult surnamed Jian together with Runan. Master Liu always rewards and punished them clearly. In other words, two brothers are indispensable for prosperity and wealth,"
Gong Du said without hesitation: "Young Master, please wait for a while, and then go with Junior Brother Liu to control Jian Yong."
Zhang Ning waved his hand and motioned for the two of them to go quickly.
Pound looked at the backs of Gong Du and Liu Pei leaving in a hurry, and said worriedly: "Mrs. Qixi, I finally thought that we should not let the two of them go together. At least one of them should be detained to prevent accidents. ,"
Zhang Ning shook his head and said, "General Pang, don't worry. Both of them are direct disciples of the father. Even if they borrow their ten courage, they will not dare to do anything unfavorable to this lady."
With a "pop", Liu Xin slammed the letter in her hand on the table in front of him, and shouted angrily: "It's a nonsense, it's a nonsense,"
Diaochan, who was instructing Lu Qiling's dance movements, stopped when he heard the sound, turned to look at Liu Xin and asked nervously: "I don't know what's going on, I'm so angry with the master,"
They were on a building near Chungu County, Danyang County. More than a dozen battleships were guarding the surrounding river. This building was the former enemy command post temporarily set up by Liu Xin. The other princes now have no navy. The boat on the river is even safer than staying in Wanling City, so Liu Xin also took Diaochan and the others with him.
Feeling a little gaffe, Liu Xin stabilized his emotions, waved his hand and said, "Oh, it's nothing big, Chan'er, you should go out first, and invite Mr. Ju over by the way. I have to tell him if I can."
At first, Diao Chan thought it was because of what was wrong with the dance moves she taught Lu Qiling, so she was shocked. He heard Liu Xin say that she wanted to ask Ju to come over. Only then did she know that Liu Xin's anger had nothing to do with him. Diao Chan insisted. There is a bottom line, that is, I have never asked about major military and political issues. However, seeing Liu Xin's face calm, she hurriedly pulled Lu Qiling out.
After a short time, Jushou walked in and said, "I don't know what the lord has to order if he hastily summoned his subordinates."
Liu Xin pointed to the letter on the table, and said in a deep voice, "You already know what the Komeito's letter says, so let’s talk about your opinion."
Jushou smiled and arched his hands and said: "Mrs. Xu understands the righteousness and is willing to commit strange dangers. If this trip to Runan can be successful, it is said that Gong Du and Liu Pi take the initiative to come, then we can cut off Lujiang and Qiaojun. Yuan Shu has really become a soft-shelled turtle in the urn. This old soft-shelled turtle can be compared to a moose, haha, haha..."
It turned out that after Zhang Ning left, Xu Huang thought about it, but still felt that he should report the incident to Liu Xin, so he sent Liu Xin a letter about flying pigeons.
Since Liu Bei made a lot of publicity when he was offering the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom, now Liu Xin and Jushou not only knew that Yuan Shu had been outrageously proclaimed emperor, but also knew that the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom had also fallen into Yuan Shu’s hands. It means the supreme imperial power. In any case, he has to help Liu Xin get the jade seal of the country. As long as Runan is controlled, Yuan Shu, who lacks a navy army, will still be surrounded by Liu Xin even if he wins Jiujiang. The Jade Seal of the State of the Republic of China can still fly with its wings,
Liu Xin didn’t think so. He had already received news that Yuan Shu had sent Liu Bei to Runan to quell the chaos. He didn’t know if Zhang Ning could tell Gong Du and Liu Pi, but he was sure that Gong Du and Liu Pi were under the control. The mobs were definitely not Liu Bei’s opponents. Even if Zhang Ning could tell Gong Du and Liu Pilai to surrender, they would definitely not be able to withstand Liu Bei’s army’s offensive, and Zhang Ning would be in danger.
This is because Liu Xin didn’t know that Liu Bei had sent Jian Yong to recruit Gong Du and Liu Pi, otherwise he would be even more worried, because Liu Xin knew that Gong Du and Liu Pi had assisted Liu Bei in fighting against Cao Cao in history. The connection between them has a "prior conviction". In this way, it is very possible for Jian Yong to persuade Gong Du and Liu Pi. In that case, Zhang Ning's situation is even more dangerous.
Looking at the excitement of Jushou, Liu Xin poured cold water on him, and said in a deep voice, "Liu Bei is extremely cunning. He has already taken the order to attack Runan. If Liu is not bad, once Liu Bei has conquered Ru Nan will definitely announce his departure from Yuan Shu, and even take advantage of Yuan Shu’s proclaiming the emperor. He will then occupy the moral high point. Therefore, we must eliminate Yuan Shu before Liu Bei can capture Runan. Only in this way can Liu Bei's identity as the party of Yuan Shuyu be confirmed."
Jushou laughed and said, "The subordinates are happy for Mrs. Xu's righteous deeds just because they learned that Liu Bei has sent troops to Runan. Mrs. Xu's move is just ahead of Liu Bei. The subordinates thought that Liu Bei would only have to see me. The banner of the Great Han is flying at the head of the city of Runan, and he will surely hug his head."
Liu Xin was not as optimistic as Jushou. With a worried expression on his face, he said in a deep voice: "Anyway, Gongming is my brother. Liu is unwilling to let his wife go on the adventure and give my orders. Lu Junma immediately launched an attack, and told Gongming that he would personally lead his army into Runan and ensure the safety of his wife."
A few white pigeons soared up from the upper ship, circled for two times, and then flew in all directions. At the same time, a few more clippers left quickly. Out of concerns about the safety of the flying pigeons, they issued an order. At the time, Liu Xin always used two-handed preparation. While releasing the pigeons, he also sent a team of Meteor Express horses to pass through the post road extending in all directions.
Zhang Yun’s army was stationed on the river’s edge. He was the first to get the news. He has been serving as a guard in recent years. He rarely had a chance to kill. He was a little uncontrollable for a long time. As soon as he received the order, Zhang Yun I can’t wait to get the three armies aboard,
An hour later, twenty transport ships full of soldiers of the Third Army slowly sailed away from the south bank of the Yangtze River. Guarded by dozens of naval warships, they went straight up against the current, and soon landed on the river east of Xiang'an. ,
Zhang Yun led a 30,000-step ride all the way, and arrived outside Xiang'an in the evening. As long as Xiang'an was conquered, the connection between Lujiang and Shouchun Yuan Shujun’s horses could be severed. Zhang Yun immediately ordered the siege of the city without taking a rest.
The soldiers of the Dahan Army have undergone rigorous training and have been tested by various cruel conditions. Although they were exhausted after the rapid march, none of them screamed bitterly. Following Zhang Xi’s order, everyone immediately entered a state of combat. All kinds of tactics are usually practiced, and in only half an hour, all kinds of siege equipment are ready. Of course, such sophisticated and complex siege equipment as trebuchets still need to wait to be transported from the rear. It was just a temporary cloud ladder and a rushing car. However, for a small city like Xiang'an, these things were enough. After the three links rang, tens of thousands of soldiers from the Third Army rushed towards the head of Xiang'an.
Although Xiang'an County is small, because it is the gateway to the southeast of the Lujiang River, Yuan Shu still attaches great importance to it. He sent General Liang Gang to garrison here with five thousand troops. The news that Liu Xin’s army had landed on the river has spread to Xiang'an City. Liang Gang sent people to rush to Yuan Shu, and at the same time ordered the recruitment of civilians to strengthen the city defense. Just when the four gates were closed, countless people had already appeared outside the city.
Liang Gang didn't expect the Han army to come so fast, but seeing the sky was just getting dark, he didn't worry that the Han army would attack the city overnight and continued to slowly deploy the city defense. Suddenly, there were shouts from outside the city, the Han outside the city The army rushed over against the afterglow of the setting sun, Liang Gang had to hurriedly challenge.
The siege battle is very difficult, but the Han army usually does not know how many times the drill has been drilled at the training base. The infantry, with the rain of arrows, calmly climbed up the city along the ladder, and the crossbowmen. Relying on the strong bow to reflect on the top of the city, suppressing the defenders at the top of the city,
Although occupying a geographical advantage, many of the people who have been forcibly conscripted are not working hard. They usually suffer from Yuan Shu’s oppression, and they have long hoped that someone can save them from the sea of suffering. How can they be willing at this time? As cannon fodder for Yuan Shu, Liang Gang was already insufficiently prepared, but he wanted to urge these people to lose sight of one another, and he was climbed up to the city by a group of Han troops.
Seeing his soldiers ascend to the top of the city, Zhang Yun personally beat the drums. The already high morale of the Han army was even more unstoppable. More and more soldiers rushed to the top of the city. Liang Gang saw that the situation was not good. Turned around and ran down the city,
The entire siege was going very smoothly. When night fell, Zhang Yun had already stepped into the Xiang'an County government, and he could not take a breath. Zhang Yun ordered the whole army to march towards Linhu, which was the last barrier outside Lujiang City. After conquering Linhu, the Han army can reach Lujiang City directly.
Liu Xin did not feel the slightest relief after receiving the report sent by Zhang Yun. What he is most worried about now is not whether he can win Lujiang, but whether Zhang Ning will be in danger in Runan.
