The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 535 534 Jingzhou Changes Owner (6)

This year, Jingzhou has experienced so many things that the originally peaceful and peaceful situation was completely broken.

Liu Biao died, Cai Mao died, Liu Bei died, Zhang Xiu surrendered, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others took refuge in Sun Quan in Jiangdong, everything seemed to be going downhill.

However, under Sima Yi's efforts, Jingzhou has absorbed a fresh blood. This fresh blood is subtly changing the future of Jingzhou.

After Liu Bei's death, Liu Qi issued an order to kill Liu Bei's nine clans, but this order was blocked by Sima Yi. There were policies on the top and countermeasures on the bottom. Except for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei who had fled, Liu Bei was originally in Jingnan Sima Yi protected Yi Ji, Jiang Wan, Ma Liang, Liu Min, Pan Jun and others from the old department. These are all talents in Jingzhou, and they cannot be killed casually just because of Liu Qi's words.

Moreover, Sima Yi also noticed Liu Qi's change. After Liu Biao's death, Liu Qi seemed to be a different person. Maybe he was hit so badly that his mind changed. He locked himself in the room all day without seeing anyone. , Even Sima Yi was often turned away.

Therefore, the current Jingzhou is actually decided by Sima Yi alone, but Sima Yi is quite good at winning people's hearts. After the Cai family was killed, Sima Yi first won over the two brothers Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang, and then with the help of Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang, etc. Kuai Liang's reputation gradually appeased the rest of the aristocratic families in Jingzhou. In addition, Sima Yi specially promoted a group of young talents and replaced most of the officials in Jingzhou, making Jingzhou's bureaucracy completely younger.

The young people are not deeply involved in the world, and they dare to fight and fight hard. They changed the cunning and cunning of Jingzhou officials in the past, and made Jingzhou's officials take on a new look.

Those officials dismissed by Sima Yi were extremely dissatisfied and forced to leave Jingzhou, but Sima Yi forcibly kept them all, and placed them all in Xiangyang City, under his nose, for easy surveillance , Once found colluding with foreign enemies, they were directly arrested and asked to be executed in the vegetable market.

At this time, the end of the new year is approaching, and there are many things. Jingzhou has to report on the big and small affairs in the past year. Officials from all over the country have sent envoys to Xiangyang, and some even went to Xiangyang in person. This is the so-called debriefing.

The debriefing is actually that officials from all over the country come to Xiangyang to report to their chiefs on the work of the past year, and this form has also become a fixed pattern.The county should report to the county, the county should report to the state, and the state should report to the imperial court, one link after another, layer upon layer.The end of the year is also the busiest time, at least for Xiangyang, it is very busy.

The post house was full of officials and envoys from various counties who came to report their work. Liu Qi locked himself in the room and could not come out. Sima Yi replaced Liu Qi and became the person who listened to the reports of officials from all over the country. No matter how big or small, he will carry it all by himself.

The assassin who assassinated Liu Biao before has still not been caught, but it is not a big problem if he is caught or not, because Liu Bei is the culprit, and the culprit has already been executed. It can be a moment of helplessness.

But having said that, Chen Dao, who assassinated Liu Biao, did have two things. When Xiangyang City was under martial law, Chen Dao still didn't show any clues. It wasn't until the end of the new year that the rumors relaxed a little. Then Chen Dao tried to disguise it. After a while, I left Xiangyang.

After Chen Dao left Xiangyang, he went directly to Jiangdong, because he heard that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had protected Liu Bei's family and went to Jiangdong.Liu Bei is dead, but Chen Dao is ready to avenge Liu Bei with Liu Bei's kindness, so the only place he can go is Jiangdong, and he must find Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to discuss the plan of revenge.

At the same time, Sun Quan's attack plan was in full swing. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led an army composed of Shanyue, and they had quietly arrived at the border of Changsha County, waiting for the arrival of the New Year's Eve.

Zhu Ran, the governor of Guangzhou, led the three generals Tan Xiong, Pan Zhang, and Ling Cao, and they have also arrived at Jiuyi Mountain. They are secretly stationed there, and they are also waiting for the arrival of the New Year's Eve.

The end of the year is approaching, not only the government is extremely busy, but the common people are also very busy. After a year of hard work, at the end of the year, it is time to take a break. Everyone starts to buy new year's goods and stock up on delicious food Food is the perfect end to a hard year.

However, on the official road from Xiangyang to Changsha, the [-] army led by Li Tong was rushing forward. Due to the freezing weather and continuous wind and snow, the speed of Li Tong's army to station in Changsha was hindered.

At present, Li Tong's army has only arrived near Dongting Lake, and there is still a not very long distance from Xiajun in Changsha. Anyway, it must have been able to reach Xiajun years ago.

But what Li Tong didn't know was that the army led by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei was eyeing the border between Nanchang County and Changsha County, and they were stationed in Ai County not far from Xiajun County.

Li Tong is far inferior to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in his familiarity with Jingnan. Therefore, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei chose to avoid the most important ones and stationed their troops between the Miluo River and the Xiangshui River. Their goal was not Li Tong's stationed Xiajun, but Changsha County. The county city is Linxiang.

The day of anticipation is getting closer day by day. On the New Year's Eve, Li Tong led the army to Xiajun County, but at the same time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also started their actions. After a long time of dormancy, suddenly Launched an attack on Changsha County, and went all the way to Linxiang City along the Xiangshui River.

The Xiangshui River runs through the entire Linxiang City, and Linxiang City was also built adjacent to the Xiangshui River, and the Xiangshui River was poured into the moat, making it a barrier to protect Linxiang City.

When Liu Biao launched an army to attack Zhang Yan, Liu Bei took away most of Jingnan's troops, but these Jingnan's troops did not come back, so the four Jingnan counties are undoubtedly in a state of empty troops.Coupled with the fact that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei still have some influence in Jingnan, Changsha City will definitely be captured by them, and there is no doubt about it.

Deng Xi, who was appointed by Liu Qi as the prefect of Changsha, arrived half a month ago, but it was approaching the end of the year to report on his duties, so he returned to Xiangyang City to report on his duties. Now in Linxiang City, there are only the county magistrate and some government officials As well as the strength of more than a thousand people, if such a city cannot be attacked, then Guan Yu and Zhang Fei can commit suicide.

Although the Shanyue people led by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were all infantry, they had high mobility and fast footsteps. They crossed mountains and ridges as if walking on flat ground. There was a sudden panic in Xiangcheng.

Fortunately, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei did not launch an attack, but first sent envoys to persuade the county magistrate who came to Xiangcheng.

When the county magistrate heard that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had returned, he immediately opened the city gate and surrendered without saying a word.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei captured Changsha without bloodshed, and then sent people to various counties in Changsha County to persuade them to surrender. If they did not surrender, they would only die.

In addition, Zhang Fei personally led the army south to Guiyang County, preparing to control Guiyang County in his own hands.

On the third day of the first lunar month, the envoys sent by Guan Yu to various places returned. When the county magistrates of Changsha County except Xiajun County heard that Guan Yu was coming, they all surrendered automatically, not daring to be enemies. They were all once Liu Bei's old troops. If Guan Yu didn't surrender, who else could he surrender to?
Changsha County was taken by Guan Yu in the midst of bloodless battles.But Li Tong, who was located in Xiajun County, didn't know all of this.

Zhang Fei led an army of five thousand soldiers on a long trek all the way, and all the places he passed along the way were waiting for the wind. When Zhang Fei arrived at Zhu County, the county seat of Guiyang County, the captain of Guiyang tied Liu Xian, the prefect of Guiyang, Waiting quietly at the gate of the city, he took the initiative to donate the county city of Zhu County, and also captured their prefect Liu Xian.

Zhang Fei did not embarrass Liu Xian, but released Liu Xian directly, and asked Liu Xian to tell Liu Qi that the time for their revenge had come. He asked Liu Qi to wash his neck and wait in Xiangyang City. That's when Liu Qi's head fell to the ground.

Not long after Liu Xian took office in Guiyang, he originally wanted to report on his duties by himself, but he was worried that there would be no one in Guiyang to take care of him, so he sent someone there.When Zhang Fei led his army to Guiyang, Liu Xian wanted to organize an army to fight against him, but he didn't expect that he would be tied up by his subordinates.This cannot be blamed on Liu Xian. After all, Liu Bei has been running the four counties in Jingnan for several years. The contacts in Jingnan are all there. The officials, army, and people have all been favored by Liu Bei. raised their hopes.

The most important thing is that the storm of Sima Yi's dismissal of officials has not yet come to Jingnan. Currently, Jingnan is full of Liu Bei's old troops. It is understandable that they have feelings for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Less than a month after taking office, Liu Xian was driven back by Zhang Fei. He was so disgraced that he felt very ashamed and fled back to Xiangyang in a state of embarrassment.

When Guan Yu and Zhang Fei occupied Changsha and Guiyang counties respectively, Zhu Ran, governor of Guangzhou, led Pan Zhang, Tan Xiong, Ling Cao and others were fighting fiercely with the army led by Lingling prefect Pang Ji.

Pang Ji was once Liu Biao's confidant, but he was later dismissed because he offended Cai Mao. After Liu Qi succeeded, he reactivated Pang Ji.Although Pang Ji is a literati, he also has a masculine side. He was the first prefect of the four Jingnan counties appointed by Liu Qi. Although he only took office for a month, when Pang Ji arrived in Lingling County, he felt deeply a potential threat.

Because Junzhong was once Liu Bei's subordinate, it made him feel very uneasy.Therefore, on the second day after Pang Ji took office, he dismissed the county magistrates appointed by Liu Bei one after another, and re-appointed a group of new officials. The local aristocratic families Liu Du, Liu Xian and his son united together, and selected a group of new officers, appointed the young and militant Xing Daorong as the captain, led three thousand soldiers in Lingling, and strengthened training.

In addition, Zhu Ran's army was not Guan Yu or Zhang Fei, and they did not have any influence in Jingnan. Their invasion, on the contrary, aroused the unanimous resistance of the people in Lingling County, making Zhu Ran's army's attack blocked, like crossing the street. Rats, everyone shouted and beat them.

In addition, Pang Ji sent people to join forces with Sha Moke, the barbarian king of Wuxi, and promised a lot of money, asking Samoke to lead the barbarians to come to help. After two flanking attacks, Zhu Ran's army was defeated, and even Zhu Ran himself was defeated. , was almost killed by Samoko.

Zhu Ran, Pan Zhang, Tan Xiong, Ling Cao and others had to retreat for [-] miles, not daring to attack Lingling County again, and were in a passive situation.

At the same time, Zhu Ran sent people to inform Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, hoping that they would lead the army to come to help, flanking left and right, attacking Lingling and Wuling, and completing the task assigned by Sun Quan.

The news that Zhu Ran's attack was blocked first spread to Guiyang County, which is adjacent to it. Wei is in charge of looking after.

Two days later, Zhang Fei led his army to Quanling, the county town of Lingling County, just in time to meet the barbarian king Sha Moke who led the barbarians to attack Zhu Ran's camp. The barbarians rushed out from behind, and the barbarians who killed them were caught off guard.

Zhu Ran and others also started to fight back, flanking Zhang Fei back and forth, forcing the barbarians to retreat.
