Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 403
"Hehe, the prefect is being polite. Presumably the prefect also knows the purpose of my visit today!" Cheng Huang said directly without playing charades.

"General Cheng wants to accept Wuling County, but without Mr. Liu of Jingzhou's consent, I'm afraid I can't do it." Zhang Xian directly refused.

Cheng Huang didn't expect Zhang Xian to refuse directly. After a moment of surprise, he smiled and said, "Master Taishou, do you want to make an enemy of my Dongting? This Yuanling City is on the edge of the Yuan River, and my Dongting Navy You can get here in half a day. Moreover, if you refuse to deliver, I am afraid that you will not be able to escape the crime of treason. At that time, not only you, but all your clans will be punished."

Hearing Cheng Huang's words, Zhang Xian felt sweat on his forehead.Cheng Huang was right. With his current position, it was easy to accuse him of being a traitor.

Now, he is caught between Liu Biao and Cheng Huang, in a dilemma.

"Haha," Cheng Huang suddenly laughed, "Prefect Zhang, I understand your difficulties. Your father was kept in Jingzhou by Liu Biao as a hostage, so you dare not disobey Liu Biao's words. Come, let me show you this. "

Cheng Huang took out a letter from his cuff and handed it to Zhang Xian.

Zhang Xian took the letter, saw the handwriting on it, and couldn't help but jerk.When he finished reading, he looked at Cheng Huang even more excitedly.

"That's right, I have sent the Dongting assassins to rescue your father, and I have also let the gods heal his hidden disease. Now, he is enjoying the blessing of love in Dongting!"

"General Cheng, just tell me what you want me to do." Zhang Xian was a dutiful son, knowing that his father was in Dongting, he said immediately.

"Prefect Zhang, do you think I will take your father as a hostage just like Liu Biao? My request is very simple, as long as you admit that you belong to Dongting and let my soldiers and horses from Dongting enter Wuling, you will still be the prefect of Wuling and ask for other rewards. I will send someone to bring your father here immediately so that you and your son can be reunited."

When Zhang Xian heard this, he immediately bowed his head and bowed, "Thank you, General Cheng. I, Zhang Xian, are willing to obey the command of the general." Compared with Liu Biao, Cheng Huanggui was Marquis of Wuwei and controlled the court, and his thighs were thicker than Liu Biao.

Coupled with not allowing his relatives to be hostages, under the balance of the two, he is of course willing to return to Shun Cheng Huang.

Cheng Huang was overjoyed to subdue Zhang Xian.You know, Wuling County, which has been expanded a hundred times, is completely equivalent to the area of ​​two provinces in the real world. How can Cheng Huang not be excited to get such a territory in a few words.

Immediately, Cheng Huang discussed with Zhang Xian about the delivery, then activated the lord's skill and returned to Xingyue City.

After arriving in Xingyue City, Cheng Huang immediately asked Gan Ning to send a navy to escort Zhang Xian's father back to Wuling.He believed that Zhang Xian said that smart people learn to weigh the pros and cons, and when Wei Yan returned to Dongting, Cheng Huang was going to let Wei Yan lead the army to garrison Wuling.

After conquering Wuling County, only Changsha County is left!Han Xuan, the prefect of Changsha, hated him very much. If he wanted to conquer Changsha, he could only rely on force.

As for guarding Changsha, in addition to the fierce general Huang Zhong, there is also Liu Biao's nephew Liu Pan. It may be more difficult than ascending to heaven to peacefully conquer Changsha.

At present, only Ju Yi's dead men who had ascended to the top of Dongting, Ma Yuanyi and Guan Hai led [-] Dongting infantry, and Gan Ning's [-] navy. It may not be easy to draw troops to attack Changsha. (After the Taishan army entered Luoyang, Guan Hai and Ma Yuanyi were sent to Dongting as the chief and deputy commanders of the Dongting infantry.)
Therefore, even if Cheng Huang wanted to use troops, he would wait for the elite led by Wei Yan to return to Dongting.

As it was getting late, Cheng Huang flew towards Changsha on a lightning eagle.

It didn't take long to reach the sky above Changsha. Under the cover of night, the lightning sculpture flew across the sky of Changsha and landed in a courtyard.

"Who," just as Cheng Huang landed, he heard a low shout from a room with lights on, and a man rushed out.

"It's me," Cheng Huang heard the voice and knew that this person was Xing Daorong, so he hurriedly said.

Xing Daorong was about to make a move, but when he saw it was Cheng Huang, he quickly stopped, "General Cheng, please come in quickly."

Asking Cheng Huangrang to sit down in the room, Xing Daorong asked: "The general is here for the Changsha matter?"

Cheng Huang nodded, "Exactly, General Xing, what's going on in Changsha at present?"

Xing Daorong looked solemn, "Liu Biao has sent envoys to tell Han Xuan not to give up Changsha no matter what, and also sent Liu Pan to lead [-] infantry into Changsha City, preparing to defend Changsha to the death. In the past two days, Changsha has entered a state of preparation for war. "

Cheng Huang nodded. The situation in Changsha did not surprise him.Liu Biao did not send troops to reinforce Wuling County, probably because Wuling is far away from Dongting. He did not expect that he would instigate Zhang Xian!

"General Xing, I am determined to take over Changsha. The land of Changsha is the closest to Dongting. I believe you already know who I am, Cheng Huang. As long as you join me, General, I will not treat you badly."

Xing Daorong smiled and said: "What is General Cheng talking about? I'm not going to hide it. I and my [-] subordinates both planned to join the general, but we couldn't find a chance. If the general has something to do, just order it."

"Okay, this time is an opportunity, General, let's discuss it and cooperate with each other to win Changsha."

That night, Cheng Huang discussed with Xing Daorong for a long time, and it was not until midnight that Cheng Huang activated his lord skills and returned to Xingyue City.

Three days later, Wei Yan and Xu Shu returned to Xingyue City.Cheng Huang ordered Wei Yan to garrison Dongting, and he brought Gan Ning, Ju Yi, Guan Hai, and a total of 10 soldiers from the land and water armies to Changsha.

There are a total of 15 defenders in Changsha City. Cheng Huang wants to take Changsha with this [-] troops. It is not an ordinary difficulty.

Not long after, the Dongting army arrived at the foot of Changsha City. Cheng Huang urged his horses and stepped forward and shouted: "Listen, the defenders at the top of the city. I am Cheng Huang, Marquis of Wuwei. I have come to receive Changsha in person. Open the city gate quickly and let us go." into town."

The soldiers at the top of the city had already received orders from Han Xuan, so they dared to open the city gate and reported in immediately.

After a while, Han Xuan, Liu Pan, and Huang Zhong arrived at the top of the city.

"Prefect Han, do you want to disobey the emperor's order by refusing to open the city?" Cheng Huang shouted.

"Haha..." Han Xuan laughed loudly, "Cheng Huang, you are coercing the emperor to order the princes and control the court. You are the real rebel. Now you want me in Changsha again, dreaming!"

"Okay, since you dare to disobey the emperor's orders, don't blame me for storming Changsha!" After Cheng Huang finished speaking, he was about to retreat, only feeling a sense of crisis rising from his heart.

Looking up, I saw Huang Zhong stretched his bow and set an arrow, and locked himself.

"not good,"

Cheng Huang yelled in his heart, and with a movement of his hand, the Yunpotian Spear was already in his hand, and he was fully on guard.Huang Zhong can be said to be unparalleled in his arrow skills, this arrow must be very powerful.

He didn't choose to retreat because he knew that no matter what, he couldn't be faster than Huang Zhong's arrow.

"call out……"

The sound of sharp arrows piercing the air sounded, and Huang Zhong's arrow had already left the string, shooting towards Cheng Huang with unparalleled momentum.
