Changsha Prefecture House.

Sun Jian sat straight, his face calmly, and there was a disapproving smile on his lips. In front of him were two people, one literary and one martial, one literary and one martial, one literary and one martial, and the one martial was Huang Gai.

Huan Jie was the filial and honest person he once recommended, while Huang Gai was from Lingling in Linjun. He met when he was working with Sun Jian to fight against the barbarians. When the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Sun Jian raised an army to fight against the thieves. He began to follow Sun Jian, and it was the seventh year now.

Sun Jian took Changsha and was as powerful as a bamboo, but his reputation was not very good. This time, in order to take Linxiang as soon as possible, the attack methods were a bit too rough. Changsha people had a very poor impression of him. Huan Jie's grandfather Huan Chao did not agree with Huan Jie coming to see Sun Jian and asked him to hide at home. However, Huan Jie still came after hesitation for two days. His reason was that avoiding Sun Jian would only cause greater killing. Since he could not hide, it would be better to face Sun Jian directly.

He came to persuade Sun Jian to give up. The reason was very straightforward. Changsha's location was indeed very good. Occupying Changsha would mean controlling the south bank of the Yangtze River from Jiangling. If you want to advance with confidence, Liu Xiu must first solve Changsha. As the county seat of Changsha County, Linxiang City is very strong. If you want to forcibly conquer Linxiang City, it is basically impossible to forcefully conquer Linxiang City without half a year.

However, Changsha’s shortcomings are also very obvious.

There is a large mountainous hilly area between Changsha County and Yuzhang County, with sparsely populated areas. It is very difficult to support Changsha from Yuzhang County. Once Liu Xiu takes Jiangxia and wedges southward, he can form a four-sided encirclement on Changsha. Sun Jian becomes an isolated army, and he is an helpless army. Yuan Shu has his own strength and wants to send troops to rescue Changsha, then he will hit Liu Xiu's thoughts. Liu Xiu can solve most of Yuan Shu's strength in Changsha County, thereby easily defeating Yuan Shu.

In other words, if Sun Jian wants to defend Changsha, unless Yuan Shu can defeat Liu Xiu within half a year to a year, then Sun Jian's lonely army will sooner or later be a result of destruction. Can Yuan Shu defeat Liu Xiu? As of now, it seems that there is no hope at all.

The meaning of Huanjie is very obvious. If you are here, you will be dead. You should retreat as soon as possible. Before Liu Xiu's army surrounds you, there may be a way out. Otherwise, no matter whether Yuan Shu can defeat Liu Xiu in the end, you will definitely be dead.

Sun Jian was unmoved and finally said lightly, even if I could only delay Liu Xiu for one month, it would be worth my death.

Huan Jie shut his mouth. Sun Jian had made up his mind, and it would be meaningless to persuade him again.

"Boxu, General Yuan treats me very well, and I am willing to pay any price for him." Sun Jian said: "You have nothing to do with General Yuan, there is no need to do so. You should listen to your grandfather's advice and go home."

Huan Jie smiled bitterly: "General, why should you be loyal to General Yuan? How can I sit back and see your defeat? Besides, Linxiang is my parents' hometown. Even for the sake of fewer casualties, I will do my part for the general."

Sun Jian laughed: "Since that's the case, I'll thank you." He looked at Huan Jie, then Huang Gai, and said with relief: "I haven't served as the prefect of Changsha for a long time, but being able to meet you two is my greatest gain. It's enough to comfort this life. If I can survive this time, I will definitely recommend you to General Yuan in the future and share wealth."

Huan Jie was helpless. He had no good impression of Yuan Shu, but Sun Jian was a general of Yuan Shu, and he had persuaded him as much as he should. Sun Jian didn't listen, that was his business. Next, he would try his best to seek a way out for the people of Changsha.

Huan Jie suggested that Sun Jian strengthen Linxiang City as quickly as possible, so that Linxiang City is so strong that Liu Xiu could not have the idea of ​​attacking. Sun Jian agreed very much and handed over this matter to Huan Jie. Huan Jie immediately mobilized the people around him to carry out construction day and night, and at the same time, he made preparations before the war, stored food, and prepared the city guard equipment.

When the news reached Jiangling, Liu Xiu had a headache. What was Huan Jie's mentality? Just because Sun Jian called him a filial piety and honest person, he wanted to tie him up with Sun Jian and drag all the people in Changsha into the water?

Regardless of whether Liu Xiu recognized Huan Jie's idea or not, all the preparations Huan Jie did in Linxiang City hit Liu Xiu's key point. Without effective means of siege, it would be very inappropriate for him to rashly siege Linxiang, as it would only make himself very tired.

Liu Xiu decided not to consider the attack on Linxiang City for the time being, but he could not allow Sun Jian to easily control the south bank of the Yangtze River. He ordered Gan Ning to lead the navy into Dongting Lake, head south until the city of Yiyang, conquer Yiyang first, monitor Sun Jian nearby, and ensure the safety of the Yangtze River route. In this way, Sun Jian's effect on him will be greatly weakened.

Gan Ning took the order and took the Three Thousand Navy to excitedly. He was not humble at all. He promoted the shaking force of the sky toward Yiyang, and the speed was not fast. He only walked twenty miles a day. The sun rose to the high point. Before the sky was dark, he got down to rest. He walked forty days from Jiangling to Yiyang.

Sun Jian was not a deaf person. He received the news soon and was furious by Gan Ning's arrogance. He immediately wanted to start a large army to fight Gan Ning, but was stopped by Huanjie.

"General, do you have enough warships to fight against the Yizhou Navy?"

Sun Jian was silent. He came to occupy Changsha. There was one thing about the ship, but it was just a cargo ship for transporting grain, so there was no warship.

"If you go out of the city to fight Gan Ning, you will be caught by Gan Ning's plan to lure the enemy. Although Gan Ning is rough, Liu Xiu is not an incompetent person. If it weren't for his order, could Gan Ning be so arrogant?"

Sun Jing also heard it: "Is this their plan to lure the enemy?"

"That's true." Huan Jie said: "I guess they heard about the difficulties of Linxiang City and the bravery of the generals, so they did not dare to attack the city easily. They could only retreat and hoped to lead the general out of Linxiang."

Sun Jian frowned: "Then let him take Yiyang?"

"What's wrong?" Huan Jie asked back.

"But in this way, we can't control the Yangtze River." Sun Jian was very worried, "In this way, how can I share the pressure for General Yuan?"

"If you can attract ten thousand troops in Changsha, you will share the pressure for General Yuan." Huan Jie said, "The reason why we cannot defend Yiyang is because Yiyang is located in water transportation, and Liu Xiu's navy is in hand and can support it from Jiangbei at any time. Moreover, Yiyang City is not as strong as Linxiang City, and it is easy to get and lose. Even if Liu Xiu got Yiyang, he would have to leave enough troops to prevent us from seizing Yiyang again. Since that is the case, hasn't our goal been achieved? Now that we have seized Yiyang, he will attack the entire army and be able to retake it soon. So what is the difference between his hands and our hands?"

Sun Jian nodded in agreement. He understood what Huan Jie meant, but when he thought of Gan Ning taking Yiyang with such a arrogant attitude, he could not bear it anymore. If Liu Xiu personally led a large army to attack Yiyang, it would be fine, but it was just that Gan Ning, a little-known Bazi, was really too bullying.

Although Sun Jian was angry, he finally followed Huan Jie's advice, stood firm in Linxiang and did not leave, and sat in Yiyang to surrender to Ganning. Then, Ganning took down Luo County, which separated Linxiang and the Yangtze River, and controlled Sun Jian's actions like two surveillance points.

Liu Xiu was not happy when he received the news that Gan Ning successfully conquered Yiyang and Luo County counties. Sun Jian insisted on Linxiang and did not come out, and the plan to lure the tiger out of the mountain did not work. It seemed that Sun Jian was determined to defend Linxiang City and laid a nail behind him.

Liu Xiu was anxious and had no good idea. He moved the Navy camp to Dongting Lake, supported Yiyang and Luo County nearby, rushed to Jiangxia by himself, and directed Cai Mao and Fu Xie who arrived from Nanyang to attack Xiling City.

The general Li Feng and Leju, who guarded Xiling, were under Yuan Shu, with a total force of 5,000 troops. Xiling is the county seat of Jiangxia, so the city walls are naturally higher and stronger than ordinary county seats. Moreover, Yuan Shu is in E County, with 20,000 troops ready to go. Xiling City is obviously a bait. Once Liu Xiu's attack was frustrated and his morale was affected, Yuan Shu would come out at any time. Yuan Shu spied on the side, and Liu Xiu could not do his best to deal with Xiling no matter what, and he had to leave enough troops to block the aid.

If Liu Xiu turned around to attack Yuan Shu, Xiling would become a hidden danger behind him again, and he would be wary of the people in the city coming out.

I have to say that Yuan Shu’s idea is very comprehensive, at least he cannot find any flaws in tactics.

When Liu Xiu arrived in Xiling, Fu Xie and others had arrived. Huang Zu, whom he had never met before, came to welcome Liu Xiu. Huang Zu was in his forties and looked very strong, with a round face like a rich man, but his eyes were always squinting, which was inconsistent with his rich appearance.

This person is very famous in history. One is because his subordinates shot Sun Jian to death with an arrow from his subordinates, and the other is because he killed the madman Ni Heng. Another reason is that he looked down on Gan Ning and finally forced Gan Ning to change jobs and ran to Jiangdong to offer a plan to Sun Quan. These three things are not something worth boasting about, but in fact, Huang Zu was not an insignificant person. He was one of the few generals in Jingzhou. In addition to shooting Sun Jian to death and defeating Yuan Shu's dream of fighting for Jingzhou, he also guarded Jiangxia for many years, making the famous little overlord Sun Ce unable to expand his power westward until Sun Quan succeeded to the throne. However, at that time, Cao Cao had already solved the remnants of Yuan Shao's forces in the north and headed south.

If it weren't for Huang Zu, Sun Ce might have entered Jingzhou long ago, and it is hard to say what the general trend of the world would be like.

However, Liu Xiu is not interested in Huang Zu now, and he is very interested in Huang Zhong, who is under Huang Zu.

"Who is Huang Hansheng?"

Huang Zu was a little embarrassed. He heard Liu Xiu's contempt for him and felt a little unhappy. However, in front of so many people, he did not dare to show it. Liu Xiu came with the power of Yizhou, and Jingzhou was surrendered. Even the big clans like the Cai family and the Kuai family bowed to Liu Xiu. How could he, a branch of the Huang clan of Jiangxia, be qualified to challenge Liu Xiu?

"This is Huang Zhong." Huang Zu called a strong man in his thirties among the generals behind him. Huang Zhong was a little nervous, not knowing what Liu Xiu meant when he came. Although he was brave, he was just an ordinary general under Huang Zu.

Liu Xiu looked at the first five tiger generals in front of him, and couldn't help but think of Liu Bei, the brother who was working hard in Liaodong. If you want to poach, Liu Bei's corner was already empty. Liu Bei didn't catch any of the five tiger generals. (To be continued) Please search for Piao Tianwen, the novel is better and faster!!!
