Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the central hall of the Jiangling Prefecture, almost all the counselors and generals in Nanjun City had arrived and were whispering to each other. There was a lot of noise, but Liu Biao's seat in the hall was still empty.

    It has been nearly two months since Sun Ce's Jiangdong Army set foot on the land of Jingzhou. Everyone with some authority in Nanjun City has also gathered together to discuss in fear for nearly two months.  Bad news has been coming since the beginning of the war. From the fall of Xiakou to the surrender of Wenpin, Zhang Xiu and others with the two main forces of Jingzhou, to the conferment of the head by Huang Zu and the fall of the entire Jiangxia County, these people can no longer sit down.  They couldn't stand it any longer. They wished that Liu Biao would summon them to discuss matters quickly and wanted to know what should be done next.  [bsp; The curtain in the middle hall was lifted, and Cai Mao walked out of the back hall with a knife in his hand.  Cai Mao raised his hand and signaled everyone to keep quiet: "Thank you for your hard work. My lord is not in good health and cannot get up. Today's discussion will be presided over by the eldest son and the mistress. Please take the seat, eldest son."

    Liu Qi stood up obediently, walked over reluctantly, and sat in the middle hall.  Liu Qi felt a thorn in his back. He could clearly feel Mrs. Cai's snake-like eyes on the screen behind him.  Liu Qi took a deep breath, plucked up the courage, and said: "I believe you all know the reason why I have called you here today."

    Everyone in the hall looked at each other quietly, but no one spoke.

    Liu Qi looked at Cai Hao and asked for help: "General Cai, you are now responsible for all major military and political affairs in Jingzhou. What is the situation of Sun Ce's army, how many people there are, and what is the ratio of troops? Tell everyone.  Bar."

    Cai Hao stood up, bowed his hand to Liu Qi, looked around everyone, and said: "Sun Ce brought a total of more than 50,000 Mabu navy troops this time, about a hundred warships, and a so-called 'Thunder Chariot'"  ¡¯ has dozens of new siege equipment, plus the soldiers of the rebel generals Wenpin and Zhang Xiu who surrendered before, the total strength should be no less than 60,000."

    Liu Qi took a breath of air and asked: "General Cai, how many soldiers do we have in Jingzhou?"

    Wang Can didn't wait for Cai Hao to answer, and stood up and walked a few steps closer: "Eldest Young Master, now is not the time to compare military strength. We should try to sit down with Sun Ce to discuss terms. Now that my lord is seriously ill and unable to take charge, Sun Ce has captured the enemy again.  After arriving in Jiangxia County, the army is at its peak. The survival of Jingzhou depends on the eldest son¡¯s thoughts. The Jiangdong Army has always been known as a fierce tiger. Even Cao Cao cannot take advantage of Sun Ce. Even if we have the advantage in military strength, it will be difficult to win.  !¡±

    "Yes, yes." Han Song also stood up, "Once the armies are in contact, both sides will be injured. We might as well cede the land of Jingbei to Sun Ce. First, Sun Ce can retreat, and secondly, Sun Ce becomes our  Wouldn¡¯t the northern barrier have the best of both worlds?¡±

    Cai Mao nodded and said: "Well, well, what the two gentlemen said makes sense."

    "It is indeed a solution that has the best of both worlds. Are Zhongxuan and Degao stupid because of their studies? General Cai, as the leader of the army in Jingzhou, do you actually agree to these stupid and stupid suggestions?" His beard and hair were dyed white.  Shuang's veteran general sneered in a hoarse voice, "Eldest Young Master, I advise you not to take any chances. My lord has a grudge against Sun Jian for cutting off the river, and he has a grudge against Sun Ce for killing his father. This is something we can sit down and talk about.  Is this something that Jingbei can exchange for? It will make everyone in the world laugh out loud!"

    "Huang Hansheng, you are just a small lieutenant general. What qualifications do you have to participate in political affairs here? Why don't you get out of here." Wang Can's face turned red with anger at Huang Zhong's words, and he cursed regardless of his status.

    Huang Zhong clasped the long sword at his waist and took a step forward. Wang Can turned pale with fright and pointed at Huang Zhong with trembling fingers: "Huang, Huang Hansheng, you, what do you want to do?"

    "The territory of the Han Dynasty, the land of the lord, only a coward would give it away!"

    Cai Hao felt a little embarrassed on his face and said angrily: "Huang Zhong, how dare you be so presumptuous in front of the eldest son and mistress! Come here, beat me out with a stick!"

    Huang Zhong tightened his lips, and the long sword at his waist was suddenly unsheathed. The sergeants holding sticks did not dare to take a step forward in front of the sharp sword.  Huang Zhong held his long sword and said: "My eldest son, the veteran has nothing more to say. The only thing the veteran can do now is to defend Changsha with General Liu Pan. Even if you die in battle, you will not surrender!" After that, Huang Zhong turned around and walked out.  In the middle hall, never look back again.

    Cai Mao looked at Huang Zhong's back and spat bitterly: "You old lunatic." Then he turned to Liu Qi and said: "Eldest Young Master, I can guarantee that Prime Minister Cao will not sit idly by and just call everyone here today.  This is just to reassure everyone. My brother Cai Zhong has gone to Xiangyang with Kuai Yue, and we will be able to keep the city intact. As long as it is delayed until Prime Minister Cao sends troops, and we attack from both sides, Sun Ce will definitely be defeated!"

    Mrs. Cai behind the screen asked: "Degui, are you sure about this?"

    Cai Mao said with confidence: "Don't worry, sister, this matter is 100% sure and nothing can go wrong."

    Liu Qi felt a little relieved after hearing what Dai Ma said, and thought to himself: Even if things go wrong, I can still escape to Wuling. If not, I can always escape to Lingling.

    Not to mention what kind of wishful thinking Jingzhou has in mind, on Sun Ce's side, since he captured Jiangxia, Sun Ce has not taken any further actions in the past few days. Apart from reorganizing his troops and appeasing the people, Sun Ce is not fighting with Jia every day.  Xu played chess just like learning the piano from Zhou Yu, and had no intention of sending troops.  Gan Ning and other generals sometimes couldn't bear it anymore. When they asked Sun Ce when he would send troops to continue the attack, Sun Ce always smiled and said: "Wait, there is no rush, there is no rush."

    As soon as Sun Ce raised his hand, the sound of the piano dispersed.  Zhou Yu laughed at the side and said: "Brother's progress in the past few days is amazing. I'm afraid he will catch up with my younger brother soon."

    Sun Ce stood up, stretched his muscles, and while tearing off the tape wrapped around his knuckles, he said: "I studied with Gong Jin for a few days and found that playing the piano can really calm people's minds. No wonder Gong Jin always plays the piano before a battle.  I have to play the piano to show my calmness."

    "Oh?" Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows, "According to my brother's words, is there something disturbing?"

    "I really can't hide anything from you." Sun Ce smiled, "I think Gong Jin also knows about Yuan Shao's gathering of troops on the north bank of the Yellow River. Even a fool can see it. This time Yuan Benchu ??is determined to cross the river and fight to the death with Cao Cao.  Okay. Counting the days, my seal for attacking Huang Zu should have arrived in Xuchang a few days ago. If Cao Cao doesn't show his kindness to me and justify my attack on Liu Biao, I will really have to obey the emperor's secret edict.  Taking advantage of him."

    Zhou Yu laughed and was about to speak, but was interrupted by a primary school student who came in a hurry.  The principal wiped the sweat off his head and reported to Sun Ce: "My lord, the emperor's envoy has arrived outside Jiangxia City with the imperial edict, and I also ask my lord to go and greet him."

    Sun Ce glanced at Zhou Yu, shook his head and smiled: "You really said Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here soon."
