Three Kingdoms: The opening incorporates Li Cunxiao

"Prefect, Han Xuan's Changsha army is about to retreat. Should we still fight?"

Huang Zu stood at the bow of the boat and had no idea for a moment.

He secretly and Cai Mao sent a letter to Cao Cao, revealing his intention to surrender.

Now that Cai Mao was poisoned and died, he naturally didn't know what Cai Mao said to Liu Biao before he died.

In this way, he had no choice but to completely fall to Cao Cao. Otherwise, if Liu Biao knew the whole story and came to his senses to settle the score with him, he would not be able to follow in Cai Mao's footsteps.

Therefore, when he heard that Han Xuan had assisted Liu Biao in crossing the river, he sent troops to attack him.

What a coincidence, Jiangdong's Sun family also moved.

Han Xuan was not good at military affairs, and all the advantages of Jingzhou's navy lay in Jiangxia. Under attack from both sides, it is understandable that they only persisted for a moment and then retreated in defeat.

The problem is that once Han Xuan retreats, there will be no buffer between the Jiangxia Navy and the Jiangdong Navy.

Logically speaking, Sun Ce had a grudge against Liu Biao and would definitely not let him cross the river.

Huang Zu could temporarily withdraw his troops and let Sun Ce step in to achieve his own goals.

The biggest problem is that he has recently joined Cao Cao and plans to show his face.

Wouldn't retreating like this make others think that the Jiangxia Navy is inferior to the Jiangdong Navy? How can you get Cao Cao's high regard and important use in this way?

"Why do you want to do so much? Give me five hundred soldiers, and I will capture Sun Ce alive. Jiangdong Army will naturally retreat without a fight!"

The unruly voice sounded in Huang Zu's ears.

He has a handsome figure, more than eight feet tall, with a brocade belt around his waist and a copper bell on his shoulder. He carries a large sword with a horizontal handle and a short-beaked hand halberd tied to his leg armor.

Extraordinary and dazzling.

Then, Jiang Xia's generals were heard scolding: "Gan Ning! The prefect has his own judgment on military matters. How can you allow your little camp to interfere!"

Gan Ning snorted coldly: "You have no courage, why should you fall in love with someone? Go away." With that, he pushed the general who had scolded him off the side of the boat and fell into the Yangtze River.

There are dozens of soldiers and armors nearby, all with copper bells hanging on them.

Seeing Gan Ning acting like this, everyone laughed and cheered.

Huang Zu raised his head and said, "Gan Ning! Just speak, no matter what you push him to do! Left and right, fish him out quickly."

Gan Ning raised his eyebrows: "Prefect, don't bother talking about him. People say that Sun Bofu from Jiangdong is good at fighting, but he refused to accept him. He even asked for a small boat, and he committed suicide and made him cry for father and mother!"

In fact, Huang Zu had nothing to do with this thorn.

Gan Ning was originally a Jinfan thief, but later joined Liu Biao. Liu Biao was not happy and sent him to Jiangxia.

Speaking of bravery alone, many people in Jingzhou knew that Gan Ning was good at fighting.

As a human being, this is a complete thorn in the side.

He doesn't have enough tea, rice, oil and salt, he doesn't listen to good words, and his words and deeds all depend on personal preferences. Disrespecting orders and humiliating fellow prisoners were commonplace.

This is not the first time something like this has happened, and it certainly won't be the last time.

Huang Zu was also torn. On the one hand, he loved his bravery, but he did not dare to promote him to important positions.

"That's all, go ahead, be careful, and retreat quickly when you hear the drums."

Hearing Huang Zu's promise, Gan Ning smiled happily. He approached Huang Zu and flicked the bronze mirror on his chest: "Don't worry, don't forget to record merit for a certain family. I will be a general when I come back."

Such a wanton look made Huang Zu's mouth bitter with anger.

"Run quickly! Zhang Wu is coming!"

"Don't run, you can't run, throw away your weapon and kneel down!"

Boom! ~

The sound of hundreds of horse hooves flew past my ears.

Sure enough, when the Yunhui cavalry, who had been like a cold-blooded butcher before, saw the Jingzhou soldiers who had lost their weapons and knelt down to surrender, they galloped past him without waving the killing knife in their hands.

The soldiers who survived the disaster lay weakly on the ground, sometimes crying and sometimes laughing.

In less than two hours, tens of thousands of Jingzhou soldiers were killed by 800 Yunhui, and they fled and knelt down to surrender.

The generals of each battalion just saw the flying eagle flag with claws and teeth, and ran away with their heads in their hands.

Zhang Wu fought all the way without even spending any effort.

The soldiers who were guarding the carriage saw Chi Ji's fiery red figure coming forward. They hesitated for only a second, then dropped their weapons and knelt down to ask for surrender.

The next second, Dagang opened the door curtain of the carriage: "Mrs. Cai, long time no see."

Ms. Cai's pretty face turned pale as she looked at the man swaying violently.

"The Champion of Champions."

"Madam, you don't need to be polite. You husband is not good enough. Why don't you leave me and run away on your own?"

Zhang Wu even wondered if the old Liu family's ancestors had run away. First there was Liu Bei and then there was Liu Biao. I don’t know whether the advance was fast or not. Anyway, when they were running, they really didn’t recognize their relatives.

Cai's mouth felt bitter.

A woman in troubled times is like a duckweed without roots, no matter how glamorous and powerful she used to be.

When it comes to life and death, she is just a burden that her husband's family can throw away if they want.

Although she had betrayed Liu Biao first, she still felt the deep malice from the troubled times at this moment.

"Junjunhou is joking."

Zhang Wu stretched his neck and took a closer look. He saw that Cai was the only one in the carriage, and there was no sign of Liu Cong.

Compared to an insignificant woman, it was obvious that the half-grown boy was Zhang Wu's real target.

Without a backer, how big of a splash can Cai make? At best, she is just a woman with some means.

"May I ask, Madam, have you ever seen that boy Liu Cong?"

"No, never."

Zhang Wu suddenly felt that he had asked nonsense.

No matter how cruel a mother is, she has no reason to betray her child.

Since Liu Cong was not in front of Cai, he must have been taken away by Liu Biao.

This place is only three to five miles away from Hengjiangkou. If Liu Biao were to run away with Liu Cong in his arms, Zhang Wu would not be held accountable by Cao Cao. The problem is that his old face would probably be lost.

"Wen Lie, send ten cavalrymen to send Mrs. Cai back to Xiangyang. The rest of you will follow me to continue pursuing Liu Biao!"

"Here!"

Cai was so anxious that she burst into tears and said sadly: "Your Majesty! Cong'er is still a child, he will not go against the King of Wei! I hope you will be merciful!"

child?

Zhang Wu rubbed his temples in disbelief.

It is a sin to be born in troubled times. Liu Cong was still young and did not deserve to die, but in fact, many children in the world had lost their lives because of the troubled times.

At least Liu Cong never felt hunger, cold, or the despair of having to close his eyes and wait for death in order to survive.

If Liu Biao and Cai really just felt sorry for their children and surrendered early, Cao Cao would naturally not attack a child.

As for the separation of life and death?

Be it Liu Biao or Cai.

They may love Liu Cong, but they love their own ambitions more.
