Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 915 Appease Jingchu 1
In Jingzhou, more and more Northern Xinjiang troops gathered. In less than five days, Gongsun Xu's army changed from 20 troops to [-] troops. While guarding Yanzhou and Yuzhou, Zhao Yun also dispatched extra troops to come. Supporting Gongsun Xu, in this way, the northern border army already has an overwhelming force in Jingzhou, and it is even more difficult for the Jingzhou army that has been defeated and dispersed to form effective resistance now.

Another new day began. After dawn, Gongsun Xu commanded an army of 20 to surround Xiangyang. On the other hand, Huang Zhong and Zhang Fei also sent troops to the east and northeast of Xiangyang. Gao Shun and Gongsun Yuan teamed up to trap those in Nanxiang. Immediately afterwards, the Jingzhou Army added [-] troops to the west of Xiangyang. As a result, Xiangyang was completely trapped.

On the city tower, the Jingzhou army saw more and more Northern Xinjiang troops below the city, and their legs trembled in fright. It was not that no enemy army had ever attacked Xiangyang. Gongsun Xu almost used two 10,000+ elite troops in this way, and it is really unique that all kinds of sharp siege equipment are used together.

"Stop, stop,,,,,,,," Cai Mao shouted to the people on the city wall: "I am Cai Hao, the governor of the Jingzhou Navy, I have something to say to the general, please be lenient... ,"

"Let him come down." Gongsun Xu told Huang Xu, "Tell him to open the city gate. If you have anything to say, let him come out and say it."

Huang Xu nodded and rode his horse to the bottom of the city and shouted: "Listen, people in the city, if you want to survive, put down your weapons and open the city gate, Cai Mao, come down if you have something to say, what's the matter with hiding on the city tower?" .”

"I'm going down, I'm going down right now..." Cai Mao said to Zhang Yun beside him: "Brother, whether you go down with me or stay here is up to you to decide."

"I, I'll go down with you." It's not stupid. Now that he has decided to surrender, he has to make a show, at least to make a familiar face in front of Gongsun Xu. If all the limelight is left by Cai Mao If someone is out, then Zhang Yun will definitely not have his share in terms of rewards for meritorious deeds.

The gate of the city opened slowly, and Cai Hao and Zhang Yun came out under the protection of two hundred guards. Just after they walked out of the gate, Ma Chaoce stepped forward and shouted: "You two want to visit my lord, why don't you Want to bring so many people, do you want to assassinate? Cai Mao, could it be possible that you don’t recognize the spear in my hand?”

"Ah, misunderstanding, misunderstanding." Cai Mao quickly scolded the people behind him: "Stop, Zhang Yun, I told you not to take anyone with you, you just don't believe me."

Seeing Cai Mao and Zhang Yun approaching, Ma Chao nodded and said, "Come with me, if there is any change, don't blame me for being cruel..."

"My lord, they are here." Dian Wei leaned into Gongsun Xu's ear and said, "Just two people, they are in charge of Jingzhou's 20 navy."

"Sin will meet the general,,,,,,"

Cai Mao and Zhang Yun knelt down to salute, and looked at the soldiers of the northern border army who were staring at them. The pressure on the two people was also very high. In desperation, Cai Mao had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Why does the general come here to use such a weapon?" There are so many soldiers and horses. Liu Jingzhou died of illness a few days ago. Before he died, he told us to entrust Jingzhou to the general. "

"You guys are proficient in water warfare?" Gongsun Xu stared at the two and asked, "Jingzhou has a well-developed river system in the east of the Yangtze River, and the water in the Yangtze River Basin is fierce. I heard that your sailors are all athletes in the water, and they can be regarded as one of the best in the world." Army elite, don’t know if there is such a thing?”

After hearing this, Cai Mao and the two were overjoyed. They had guessed what Gongsun Xu was thinking. The northern army was invincible in land battles, but it must be a bit weak in water battles. The most important thing is that this is Jingzhou, and Jiangdong is further south. No one in the Jingzhou Army is more familiar with this place than them.

"The last two generals are willing to lead the 20 navy under their command to serve the general." Cai Mao and the two hurriedly kowtowed and replied: "My Jingzhou navy has 20 soldiers, no less than a thousand warships, and the Jiangdong navy is only five. In the worst case, there are only two hundred warships, and our Jingzhou navy has been established for decades, and its strength is strong, and it can wipe out Jiangdong for the general."

"Hehehe, interesting." Gongsun Xu nodded and smiled, "Both of you are heroes from Jingchu, and you have come to join me today. I will treat you with a generous gift. Come, I will give you a seat."

"Thank you, General." Zhang Yun winked at Cai Mao after the two stood up timidly. When Jingzhou was alive, he mobilized [-] troops to garrison the city to prevent villains. Now that the general has arrived, I think the [-] troops can be transferred out of Xiangyang City, and the general's subordinates can be stationed in the city instead. "

"Well, that's right. This matter must be handled properly. You two are determined." Gongsun Xu nodded and ordered: "Huang Xu and Ma Chao, you two will lead an army of [-] troops into the city and change defenses with the defenders in the city. Now, the soldiers and civilians in the city are all our own people, so don't start conflicts, understand?"

"Nuo,,,,,," Huang Xu and Ma Chao immediately went to work after taking the order. Occupying Xiangyang City must be imperative, and Gongsun Xu of the Four Seas deliberately behaved so casually. He wanted to let his opponents know that the Northern Xinjiang Army captured Xiangyang is just a piece of cake.

"There are still tens of thousands of troops in Nanxiang confronting our army." Gongsun Xu suddenly said, "How do you think this matter should be resolved?"

"General, please don't worry." Cai Mao heard Gongsun Xu's tone in a bad tone, and he quickly replied: "The Nanxiang army is commanded by several generals. I have ordered people to hurry up and tell them not to mess around. The generals are in charge of the world. The soldiers and horses have the right to mobilize these people. I have already written a letter. If the general can reward them, I believe that the [-] troops in Nanxiang will return soon.

Besides, with General Gao Shun and General Gongsun Yuan in Nanxiang now, there will definitely be no trouble, but I am afraid that there will be some misunderstanding between the two armies, so I invite the general... ,"

"Lingming, you take someone to Nanxiang." Gongsun Xu frowned and thought for a while and said, "Well, how about either of you two? It's safer, what do you think?"

Cai Mao touched Zhang Yun quietly, and Zhang Yun quickly knelt down and begged for his life: "The general is willing to go."

"Well, Ling Ming, you lead three thousand cavalry to protect General Zhang Yun. You must ensure the safety of General Zhang Yun, understand?"

"Subordinates understand,,,,,,"

After Zhang Yun left, Cai Hao said respectfully: "I heard that the general is going south, and the villain is overjoyed. The villain has already prepared a banquet at home. I wonder when the general will be able to visit you when he is free?"

"The day after tomorrow, today I'm going to entertain the squires in the city." Gongsun Xu looked at Xiangyang City from afar and said, "Degui, I'm lucky to have you this time, otherwise I wouldn't have taken Xiangyang so quickly. I will remember you forever." Great Gong, next, I still have to rely on you in many places,,,,,, "
