The soldiers of Jingzhou were good at fighting. When King Ji was young, he recruited good water and talented soldiers of Jingzhou, and Zhu Gai, because he had been guarding the border for a long time and had not received any rewards, he caused anger to rebel. This shows that his blood and energy are strong. Moreover, there are many Wuxi barbarians in Jingnan, who are brave and fierce, and the people are also brave.

If it is said that Huang Zu is incompetent, he is also biased. After all, he comes from a noble family and does not have the ability to command troops, how could he be valued by Liu Biao?

The reason is that many parties have merged and hastily formed an army. Liu Biao took office to win over the powerful and eliminated the clan thieves. He was both internal and foreign affairs, and he had to deal with all kinds of waste. There was no day's leisure. Unexpectedly, there would be improvement and he was counterattacked by Sun Jian.

If it were Yuan Shu and others, it would be a different matter. The tiger Sun Jian, a general who fought hundreds of battles, under his command, Jiangdong, fought south and north, and made steel. He even more powerful ships and cannons, and the fine engineers and armors of Ji, how could Huang Zu stop it?

It is inevitable to lose one after another.

Fancheng fell, Dengcheng was lonely and there were only three thousand defenders left. How could they block the tigers in Jiangdong?

He suffered a defeat and was defeated. Liu Biao was kicked up and suddenly woke up. Sun Jian was so strong that he could not defeat him. He worked hard on his troops and went against the enemy alone. It would be difficult to sustain him for a long time. Moreover, there was no production in the white land of Nanyang. Even if he occupied Jingbei, what's the use?

Just keep the Han River and beware of Sun Jian’s going south to Xiangyang. Wait until the seven counties of Jingxiang are stabilized and then fight again to win. This is a perfect strategy.

When he thought of this, Liu Biao made a quick decision.

First, Huang Zu was ordered to abandon Dengcheng and lead the remaining troops to cross the south, join forces with Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, and guard the Nanbao.

He also ordered the guards of Han Shou, the captain of the Southern Barbarians, to lead troops to help him.

He sent an envoy to cross the river and sent a letter to Yangzhou governor Liu Yao for help.

Take such a multi-pronged approach. We strive to stabilize the situation and slow down the tiger's pace of going south.

Dengcheng.

After receiving the order from Liu Biao, Huang Zuru was about to be pardoned. He was unable to clean up and fled overnight. When Sun Jian received the reward, Deng City had become an empty city. When Sun Jian led his troops to occupy the city, he saw the four gates open, and the food, grass and supplies in the city were piled up like mountains. He couldn't help but show contempt.

Such a mediocre talent was actually the chief general of a state. Liu Jing's succession had a false reputation. It is not worth worrying about.

Jiangling City.

The clouds clear and the mist dissipates, and the sun hangs high.

Then there was a carriage that crossed the line and stopped in front of the broken bridge.

"Who is under the city?" the guard at the city head shouted loudly.

"Mr. Jibo entered the city to attend a banquet and quickly landed on the suspension bridge." The driver replied loudly.

"It was Mr. Ji Bo's carriage. Forgive me, forgive me for my crimes." The guard did not dare to neglect me. Then he fell down the suspension bridge and opened the city gate. He led more than a hundred soldiers to greet him.

Mr. Ji Bo, whose name is Yi Ji, was a fellow townsman with Liu Biao since childhood. He knew that Liu Biao rode south and then went to Jingzhou to rely on him. He was a guest of honor at Liu Biao. He was a talented and famous scholar.

Unlike ordinary high-ranking scholars, they were always inferior to the powerful. Yi Ji and Liu Biao, like Huang's grandfather and son, were both kind to each other. Because they often went to the city to attend banquets, the guards did not doubt that they were there.

When the car approached, the guard general asked respectfully: "Mr. Jibo, are you safe?"

But no one answered.

The guard asked again: "Mr. Jibo, can you?"

There was still no answer. The guard general was suspicious and suddenly heard the words in the car say, "No obstacle."

The guards were at ease, but they did not dare to neglect and were about to step forward and look up again. The curtains were slightly lifted, and it was Mr. Ji Bo who showed up.

"Sir, go." The guard hurriedly gave in.

There is no danger, and the car drove into the city.

In addition to Mr. Ji Bo, there were two other child servants in the car. They were Sun Ben and Sun Ce brothers pretending to be.

When they heard that Huang She had a drink and had a meeting, the two of them lie beside the road. Unexpectedly, they stopped Yi Ji's car. Speaking of which, although Yi Ji met Liu Biao and a young man, Liu Biao treated him very well, but he did not grant him a single official position. He only regarded him as a guest minister and had many courtesy treatments, that's all.

This is why Yiji has entered Jingzhou since he made a wide range of friends and is good at dancing. He has always wanted to ask someone to recommend it. Even today, he was unfortunate enough to fall into the hands of a thief.

When he entered the city, he wanted to call for help, but he was held hostage by a sharp knife and dared not move lightly.

Seeing that the two were young, they were quite brave. They were handsome and did not look like treacherous people.

Therefore, when I entered the city, I advised him kindly: "I see the two young heroes. If I enter the city, I will have a big plan. However, I will go to the banquet alone and take risks. Do not do anything, and it will be too late to regret it."

Sun Ben was speechless. Sun Ce smiled and said, "If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get a tiger's son?"

"Oh?" This is Ban Dingyuan's famous saying. It should have a different meaning when used here. Yi Ji thought about it for a moment and then realized: "Is it the 'huzi', which is yellow shot?"

Seeing that the two were speechless, Yi Ji became more and more confident, and thought deeply: "Hold Huang Shoo, open Jiangling City Gate, and win without fighting. Could it be that the two of them are Sun Polu's command and Jiangdong Jianer."

"Sir, great talent." Sun Ce did not hide it either.

"At that time, everyone knew that Sun Polu was a fierce tiger in Jiangdong. He had more courage and lacked intelligence and intelligence. Unexpectedly, he had courage and strategy. Liu Jingsheng was hard to protect Jingzhou." Yi Ji sighed.

In Jiangling City, the outside is tight and the inside is loose. The yellow shoot opens the middle door. The guests and guests enter the mansion with light chariots.

When he heard Yiji was here in person, Huang She condescends to come out in person and greets him at the steps. Unexpectedly, the situation suddenly changed and was held hostage by two servants behind Yiji.

If you respect the virtuous and the inferior, you will be risky.

Fancheng, Sun Jian’s camp.

Continuous battles and victory. The momentum is like a rainbow. In two days of renovation, we can restore our energy. We will take advantage of the victory and pursue the Feiyun fleet and force the Han River.

The Xiangyang Navy Army, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were proficient in water battles. They were all soldiers of the former Jingzhou County, and their morale was available. They were even more unable to set fire against the wind. They could fight Sun Polu.

However, the flying cloud giant ship, iron wall plow, and water dock are unparalleled.

The two generals Cai and Zhang sent all boats and fought hard for a day. They also ended with complete defeat. The losses were heavy, but they also tried to protect the water fort. Seeing the night falling, Sun Jian cried out to withdraw his troops.

Enter the merits and reward the three armies. The camp is full of joy and thunder.

Apart from a water, the water fort in Xiangyang is full of sorrow.

The Central Army’s tent.

Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and Huang Zu, the three of them sat speechlessly.

After a while, Cai Mao said, "Flying clouds and giant ships should not be used against the enemy. If you fight today, you will lose your troops and lose your generals. If you fight again tomorrow, it will be futile."

Zhang Yunyan said: "Don't leave the boat, guard the fort, and you should fight."

"Flying clouds hit the ground from a high place, and arrows are like rain. There is no way to stand on the wall, so how can I fight back?" Cai Mao shook his head and sighed.

Huang Zu gritted his teeth and said, "Behind it is Xiangyang. There is no way to retreat, but you can only fight to the death."

"Fight to the death." Cai Mao and Zhang Yun looked at each other, as if they had a deep meaning.

Unexpectedly, Huang Zu saw it: "Are you two, are you trying to surrender to the enemy at the fortitude?"

"Why did you say this?" the two argued violently.

"Every family is a good place in the city. If you surrender first when you fight, the whole family will have a life." Huang Zu said: "Even if Sun Jian has the advantage of flying clouds, Xiangyang will also have the danger of mountains and rivers. If you abandon the boat and land on the shore, you and my army will attack with all their lives. How can you be easily defeated? It is so urgent to surrender at this time."

Upon hearing this, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun showed shame on their faces.

Seeing that the two were speechless, Huang Zu said, "Well, tomorrow, I will lead my own command to guard the water fort. The two guard the camp on the shore. Do not move lightly."
