Soldiers come to the world

Zhang Yun was so anxious that he led [-] troops to rush northward. The distance from the navy barracks to Yicheng County was about ten miles. There was a large dense forest along the way. They crossed the official road in the forest and ran quickly. Zhang Yun kept urging the soldiers, "Quick! Speed ​​up!"

He didn't even bother to think about whether there was an ambush on the road, so he ran all the way. After half an hour, the five thousand troops finally arrived at the west gate of Yicheng County, and it was already the middle of the night.

Outside the west gate of Yicheng County is a wilderness about three or four miles wide, surrounded by forests, and low rolling hills in the distance. In a forest in the north of the wilderness, Liu Jing himself led two thousand cavalry and had been waiting for a long time.

As the enemy army marched north, he had countless opportunities to ambush Zhang Yun's [-] troops, but the woods were not conducive to cavalry operations, so Liu Jing gave up the ambush and arranged the final ambush outside the west gate.

Liu Jing watched the [-] enemy troops running towards the west gate from a distance. At this time, Liu Zheng appeared beside Liu Jing without anyone noticing, startling the soldiers around Liu Jing, and glaring at him together.

Liu Zheng scratched his head, winked at the soldiers as if making a grimace, stepped forward and whispered to Liu Jing: "Prefect, I can see clearly that the leader of the support army is Zhang Yun himself."

Liu Jing nodded. It turned out to be Zhang Yun. There was a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and he turned around to order the cavalry: "Send the order and get ready to attack!"

The [-] cavalrymen were gearing up and eager to try, and their horses raised their hooves and lightly stomped on the ground, ready to go. This would be the first battle of Jiangxia's elite cavalry.

Zhang Yun came out of the woods, and when he saw Yicheng County, he felt that something was wrong. The outside of the county was quiet, and there was no sign of attacking the city. The city gate was wide open, and no one could be seen. He was full of suspicion After hesitating for a long time, he still ordered the army to enter the city.

Zhang Yun waved his saber, "Go into the city!"

Five thousand troops marched towards the county seat in mighty force. Seeing that they were approaching the county seat, less than a hundred steps away from the county seat, suddenly there was a loud drumbeat, and countless soldiers appeared on the top of the city. Suddenly, the Jingzhou navy was caught off guard, and one after another fell down with arrows. The screams resounded through the night sky, and the Jingzhou navy suddenly fell into chaos.

Seeing that the time had come, Liu Jing raised his halberd high and shouted sharply, "Attack!"

The sound of horseshoes suddenly rang loudly, and two thousand cavalry rushed out from the woods. In the darkness, the horses were like ghosts running in groups. The navy swept away.

The chaos of being ambushed by the head of the city has not yet subsided, and the enemy cavalry suddenly came. The momentum of the cavalry seemed to be avalanche. Yun shouted anxiously: "Don't panic, the spears gather in formation to fight!"

But no matter how he yelled, no one listened to his orders. His cries were quickly drowned out by the terrified cries of the soldiers. Seeing the crisis, several soldiers shouted: "Lieutenant, let's go!"

Zhang Yun was terrified, turned his horse's head and fled. At this time, Jiangxia cavalry roared and rushed into the Jingzhou navy in an instant. With a team of a hundred people, they divided the Jingzhou navy into pieces, killing the enemy's heads and corpses. All over the field, the Jingzhou navy cried for their father and mother, and ran in all directions.

Liu Jing saw that the enemy army had collapsed, and ordered again: "Those who surrender will not die!"

Dozens of cavalry galloped away, holding arrows and shouting: "The prefect has an order, those who surrender will not die!"

"The prefect has an order that those who surrender will not die!"

The order quickly spread among the ranks, and the Jiangxia cavalry began to change their combat methods. Instead of killing and assaulting, they deployed nets on both sides to cut off the Jingzhou navy's retreat, and surrounded them in the wilderness outside the west city. Everyone shouted in the wilderness: " Those who surrender will not die! Those who surrender will not die!"

The Jingzhou navy had nowhere to flee, and they knelt and surrendered one after another. In the dark night, thousands of Jingzhou navy who surrendered were kneeling.

But Zhang Yun escaped from the battlefield. He beat his horse desperately and ran south, trying to escape back to the barracks. He didn't care about his own soldiers, and he had already left them without a trace. Raising high, under the moonlight, a big tree fell down, blocking the way.

At the moment when the war horse raised its hooves, a thin black figure jumped down from the big tree nearby, throwing Zhang Yun from the horse to the ground. Just as Zhang Yun was about to struggle to get up, a dozen soldiers lying in ambush on both sides of the woods rushed to the ground. He rushed forward, pinned Zhang Yun to the ground, and tied him up with ropes.

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．

At dawn, under the strict protection of three hundred cavalry, Liu Jing rode slowly into the Jingzhou navy camp. At this time, the situation in the navy camp was set, and more than [-] generals who were loyal to Zhang Yun and Cai Mao were imprisoned. When they got up, the rest of the generals expressed their willingness to transfer to the Jiang Xia Army and pledge their allegiance to Liu Jing.

Not only the officers, but also [-] sailors and nearly a thousand warships also surrendered to the Jiangxia Army. As early as the fourth watch, Li Jun had already led hundreds of Jiangxia warships into Yinan Lake. Completely controlled the water village.

Liu Jing entered the barracks, and the deputy lieutenant Chen Shuo led more than 200 generals to greet him. Under the leadership of Chen Shuo, everyone knelt down on one knee and saluted, "See the prefect!"

Liu Jing hurriedly got off the horse, helped Chen Shuo up, and comforted him with a smile, "Vice Captain Chen, please don't be too polite, please get up!"

Chen Shuo sighed and said, "The final general can't see the situation clearly, and he is deeply ashamed for not being able to serve the prefect for so long."

Liu Jing smiled, "We are all working for the State Shepherd. After all, we are a family. Deputy Captain Chen doesn't have to blame himself like this. Speaking of which, we don't know each other without fighting. In addition, I also want to thank you for protecting me. Fifteen stallions, that's very important to me."

Chen Shuo was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly said, "The last general is just a matter of effort!"

Liu Jing patted his arm with a smile, then stepped forward and clasped his fists to everyone, saying: "Since you generals are willing to hang out with Liu Jing, I only have one word. Enjoy, I, Liu Jing, will never let everyone down, promotion and wealth, glory and wealth, everyone should have what they should have."

Looking at the excited faces of the crowd, Liu Jing slowly said: "But there is one premise for everything, and that is to abide by military discipline. To put it bluntly, it is to follow the rules. Everyone is a soldier, so you should understand what I mean!"

Everyone suddenly agreed, "I am willing to work for the prefect!"

Liu Jing couldn't help laughing in his heart, these gangsters, who do they obey, but they express their allegiance, is it true that their own rules are allegiance?

It is estimated that Zhang Yun's rules are like this, and it will take some time to get used to it, so Liu Jing didn't say any more, and said a few words to appease everyone, and then walked to the pier.

The sky was clear at this time, and the entire Great Lake could be clearly seen from the pier. The surface of the lake was covered with large and small warships. This result made Liu Jing very satisfied.

Although he cared about the army, he valued these warships even more. He captured the warships of the Jingzhou Navy. Once Cao Jun went south, they would have no ships to use. Even building a ship would take a year, which gave him a chance.

At this time, a soldier rushed over, bowed and said, "Xu Changshi is here!"

Liu Jing was overjoyed, he was about to discuss some matters with Xu Shu, but Xu Shu came unexpectedly, and he immediately said: "Please meet him in the big tent!"

Not long after, Xu Shu came quickly with several civil servants, and when he saw Liu Jing, he smiled and said, "Prefect, have the fifteen stallions been brought back?"

Liu Jing nodded, pointed at Chen Shuo beside him and said with a smile, "I've chased him back. Thanks to Deputy Chen's prior arrangements, I was afraid that Zhang Yun would send me to Xiangyang, or disappear in the rebellion. It's my luck."

At this time, several civil servants behind him bowed to Liu Jing, "See the prefect."

The head of the civil servant is Ma Liang, who has been appointed as Xu Shu's right-hand man, and Lu Sheng, who was the original officer, has been appointed magistrate of Xiakou County, so Ma Liang will take his place.

There are three people behind, one is Liu Xian's nephew Zhou Buyi, the other is Pang Shanmin, the son of Pang Degong, and the other is Liu Xian's nephew Liu Min, who is a disciple of Sima Hui, Mr. Shui Jing.

All three of them temporarily served as secretary assistants and military counselors, and they were actually Liu Jing's staff.

Liu Jing said with a smile to everyone: "Everyone came in time, just in time to ask everyone to sort out the navy information documents for me, thank you for your hard work."

Everyone expressed their willingness to serve with all their heart, so Liu Jing asked Chen Shuo to take them there, and then he and Xu Shu entered the big account.

The two sat down, and Xu Shu first asked: "Does the prefect want to keep the Yicheng navy, or withdraw to Jiangxia?"

"I'm considering withdrawing to Jiangxia first. The Xiangyang army is too close to here, and occupying Yicheng will give up the excuse. It's better to transfer the warships and navy to Jiangxia."

Xu Shu smiled, "Actually, I also think the same way. Warships are very important now. Once Cao Jun finds out this, they will attack Yicheng County desperately. It is better to move directly to Jiangxia. This is the best policy."

Xu Shu mentioned Cao Jun, which is also a problem. Liu Jing got a report from Nanyang spies that Cao Jun showed signs of increasing troops in Nanyang, but the specific situation is unknown, so Liu Jing doesn't want to talk about it for the time being.

He changed the topic to today's business, "Yuanzhi, there is something I want to discuss with you."

"Even if the eunuch said yes."

Liu Jing pondered for a while and said, "It's about Cai Yi and Zhang Yun. Both of them were caught by me. Yuan Zhi thought how should I deal with them?"

"Cai Yi is very simple. You can use him to exchange some conditions with Cai Mao. For example, you can ask Cai Mao to remain silent for the annexation of the Jingzhou navy. I believe he will do so for the sake of his son's life."

"What about Zhang Yun?" Liu Jing asked again.

Xu Shu thought for a while and then asked back: "How does the eunuch want to deal with him?"

Liu Jing frowned slightly, "This man is indeed capable of leading the navy. I wanted to kill him to avoid future troubles, but it was a pity to kill him. He should have other uses, so I was quite worried. hesitate."

Xu Shu smiled slightly, "The prefect thinks highly of him. Zhang Yun is the lieutenant of the water army because he is the nephew of the state shepherd. In fact, there are many generals who are good at water warfare, but they just don't have the chance to make their mark. Just like Li Jun, he used to It's just a small official in the Youjiao, if he didn't meet the prefect, he is still a small official today, how could he display his talent in water warfare, so Zhang Yun's ability to lead troops is insignificant."

"Yuan Zhi means to let me let him go?" Liu Jing understood Xu Shu's meaning a little bit.

Xu Shu nodded slowly, "I suggest the prefect let him go. He is actually a bad horse, and he is a bad horse with powerful backers. With him around, sooner or later all the good horses in Xiangyang will be driven away."

Liu Jing thought of Wenpin and Wang Wei in Xiangyang, and couldn't help laughing, "Since Yuan Zhi asserted this way, then I will follow your suggestion and let him go first, or let him send a letter to Cai Mao for me." .”
