Three Kingdoms: Starting from zero, a wealthy party

Chapter 152 Liu Zhang Sends Troops
"I'll tell you, it's easy for me to come out. You call Liu Zhang and ask him to personally apologize to me, and I'll come out. Otherwise, please go back. I'm doing well here, but I don’t know how life will be in Yizhou in the future.”

Xun Yu's words became more and more ugly, Zhang Song really wanted to punch him at this moment.

Wait, what Xun Yu said just now was a little different. He said that life in Yizhou is going well. It seems that he already knows some things, and it will be much easier to handle.

Zhang Song calmed down, and said: "From Master Xun's words, I understand that Master Xun must have known something. If this is the case, it will be easier. If the Lord agrees to go to Xudu with the officials to explain the matter, then Naturally, it is the best, if you disagree, you will stay here for the rest of your life, and you will not be able to worry about things outside."

The change in Zhang Song's attitude made Xun Yu realize that he had slipped his tongue. If he didn't know anything as before, then he would be uncertain about his own thoughts and was led by himself all the time, but now he was being led by the nose. They led away.

"Okay, let me ask you first, did Liu Zhang do what happened in Luoyang City?"

"I can guarantee with my life that this incident was definitely not done by my lord. Master Xun can think carefully about whether the city of Yizhou is guarded by heavy soldiers. The army is in the city. What's more, the accident in Luoyang City came when the Lord came. That night, no matter how fast the army walked, it would have taken two days to arrive, let alone a night attack."

After thinking about it carefully, Xun Yu felt that Zhang Song's words were very reasonable, but he still didn't let go of his guard.He said to Zhang Song: "Then what is your master doing now?"

"In order to show my sincerity to Prime Minister Cao, my lord personally led the troops to Jingzhou to supervise the battle."

"Okay, if that's the case, then I'll go back to Xudu with you." Xun Yu said this after weighing it over and over again. Not only did he go back to report to the prime minister earlier, but more importantly, he was thinking about his own safety. Regardless of whether Liu Zhang did it or not, the result is the same for me. Continuing to stay in Yizhou is very bad for me, so I might as well leave earlier.

In Xudu City, after reading the battle report of Luoyang City, Cao Cao threw it on the ground and cursed: "Liu Zhang is a pedantic literati, extremely cowardly, how could he dare to attack Luoyang!"

Cao Ren persuaded from the side: "My lord, is there any fraud in it? Then Liu Zhang and us are not in conflict with each other, so how could he suddenly attack?"

"Knowing people, knowing the face, not knowing the heart, I didn't believe it at first, but do you know what Cao Xiu said in the battle report? He said that Liu Xieda rode a horse at night and wanted to follow those sneak attacking soldiers and horses out of the city, and the emperor wanted to escape. You How can you not believe it?"

"Where did he get the courage to run away from me? Liu Zhang must have told him something secretly, that's why he did it."

Suddenly, he slammed the table, "It's broken, I sent Xun Yu to Yizhou by mistake, it seems that Xun Yu has fallen into their hands. Sigh."

Cao Ren stood in front of Cao Cao with his arms folded, and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. In the end, I will lead my troops into the city of Yizhou and rescue the generals."

"No need, it won't help if you go now, maybe Xun Yu was killed by them long ago, it's just a pity for his talent."

"Now I can only hope that Liu Zhang is a man who loves talents, and leave Xun Yu alone. Cao Ren, you immediately lead ten thousand soldiers to the border of Yizhou, let Liu Zhang come out, and say that Xun Yu will be exchanged, and you will agree to everything. If you want to see a person, if you die, you need to see a corpse."

"The last will obey."

Xun Yu, you can't die now.

In Jingzhou City, Sun Ce sent Tai Shici and Ling Cao to station here. Since Liu Biao left Jingzhou for Chang'an, this place has become a must for everyone, but it still fell into Sun Ce's hands in the end.

At noon, a rapid and piercing bell sounded from the top of the city, waking up the soldiers who were resting.

"When! When! When!"

The sound of the bell echoed over the quiet Yiling City, and the soldiers rushed to the top of the city one after another. From a distance, they could see a mighty fleet of two thousand ships appearing on the river several miles away. The sails cover the sky and block out the sun, which is magnificent.

Ling Cao stood on the east wall, staring fiercely at the main force of the Yizhou army. Yesterday he received a letter from a patrolling scout saying that Yizhou was gathering ships. , They came so fast, it seems that it was indeed premeditated.

"General, that boat in the distance is Liu Zhang's boat!" A soldier pointed to a particularly huge building boat and shouted.

Ling Cao saw it, it was a thousand-stone building ship, the handsome flag fluttering on the top of the mast, the big "Zhang" character was particularly dazzling in the sun, he could even faintly see the people on board, a group of people standing on the bow, also Looking towards the top of the city, Liu Zhang should be among them.

This scene couldn't help but make Ling Cao a little suspicious. Who did Liu Zhang benefit from? He worked so hard that he didn't hesitate to personally go into battle to supervise the battle.

But it won't help if you come. I, the Jiangdong sergeant, are not afraid of you at all in water warfare. If you forcefully attack the city, you will definitely be overwhelmed and walk around.

"My lord, the vanguard ship has arrived near Yiling City!" A messenger stepped forward and bowed to report.

Liu Zhang nodded slowly, "Pass on my order, Zhang Ren, you lead an army of eight thousand to attack Yiling!"

Huang Quan, who was on the side, was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him: "My lord, only 8000 people are needed to attack the city. The number of people is too small. I think that 2 people is more suitable."

Liu Zhang stood with his hands behind his back, and said coldly: "Did I promise Cao Cao to come and attack, so I must fight it? Only 8000 people are used to reduce the casualties of our army. What's more, if we use 2 people to win, spread the word." If it is not, then it will appear that I, Liu Zhang, is a person who relies on many to win, and victory is not martial, so don't say more."

"How can we win without force? We came this time not only for Cao Cao, but more importantly for ourselves, so we are here to persuade the Lord to use [-] troops."

Liu Zhang thought about it carefully, and felt that what Huang Quan said was reasonable, so he agreed to his request, "Send me an order, whoever invades Yiling City will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold."

With a lot of money, there must be brave people, and all the soldiers on board were very motivated.

When Ling Cao in the city saw it, he secretly thought something was wrong, and immediately asked the soldiers to push all the trebuchets over. The opponent didn't give him a chance to fight on the water, and wanted to attack the city.

When he found Liu Zhang's army, he sent someone to report to Tai Shici, and Tai Shici wrote back saying that he would come with the army by boat from the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. It would be good for them if they fought fiercely with the enemy. Opportunity.
