Chapter 17
Xiangyang City, Thorn History Mansion.
Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao sat upright, and Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and other staff members were there.
At this time, what Liu Biao was holding in his hand was the battle report sent by Liu Jue, which clearly stated the results of the war: Zhou Yu was defeated, and the 15,000-strong army was annihilated.
Liu Biao's hands trembled a little excitedly, he originally thought that Liu Jue could hold the city and block Zhou Yu's attack was the best result.
Unexpectedly, his little son gave himself a big surprise.
After reading the battle report over and over again, Liu Biao couldn't help but look up to the sky and laughed: "That Zhou Gongjin crisscrossed Jiangdong and beat Huang Zu without any temper, but I didn't expect to lose in the hands of my son today, it's really ridiculous!"
Cai Mao and Kuai Yue's eyes were full of shock, and they didn't expect that Zhou Yu would be defeated by a fledgling teenager like Liu Jue.
Cai Mao stepped forward and said: "Lord, this time the third prince defeated Zhou Yu, it seems that within a few years, there will be no more war in Jiangxia." "
Liu Biao nodded and smiled: "What you said is right! Zhou Yu's loss of 15,000 troops this time can be said to be a broken muscle, Jue'er has made a great contribution this time, and I will reward him heavily!"
At this time, Liu Biao became more and more satisfied with Liu Jue in his heart, his youngest son fought with a famous general for the first time, it was a blockbuster, and he could put a hundred hearts in Jingzhou in his hands in the future.
Liu Biao suddenly thought of one thing, his youngest son is eighteen years old, but he has not yet started a family, it seems that it is time to tell him a family matter.
At this time, Liu Biao would not have thought that Liu Jue would give him a bigger surprise later.
......
Starting from Wuchang City, follow the Yangtze River downstream, but one day's effort, you can reach Chaisang City.
Liu Jue led Gan Ning, Su Fei, Zhao Long, Zhang Sheng and other generals, as well as the five thousand elites and one thousand sailors he summoned, and arrived at Xunyang City by boat at a very fast speed.
Xunyang City is not tall, with a population of only more than 10,000 people, and Liu Jue and they are on a warship in Jiangdong, so it is easy to deceive the generals who defend the city.
After opening the gate of Xunyang City and Liu Jue's army entered the city, the general who defended the city found out that he had been fooled and wanted to resist at the first time, but was cut down by Gan Ning.
The generals defending the city died, and the hundreds of soldiers in Xunyang City did not make much splash, and soon the city was occupied by Liu Jue.
At this time, it was already dark, and Liu Jue was not in a hurry, so he asked Gan Ning to blockade Xunyang City, and his soldiers also rested well to prepare for the capture of Chaisang tomorrow.
Although Zhou Yu escaped, they took the land route, which was far less fast than Liu Jue's boat and land.
When Zhou Yu returned to Chaisang, I was afraid that the daylily would be cold at that time.
Early the next morning, Liu Jue's army had already been prepared, and he asked Zhao Long to take five hundred elites to guard Xunyang, and he himself led the army towards Chaisang.
The four cities in the area of Chaisang have a combined population of 70,000 or 80,000, and the population density is much higher than that of Jiangxia.
When Liu Jue went down the river by boat, he could still see that there were many people farming on both sides of the river.
This made Liu Jue feel overjoyed, compared with Jiang Xia, Chaisang City under Zhou Yu's governance can be called truly rich.
However, when Liu Jue's soldiers approached Chaisang City, they found that the city gate was not only tightly closed, but also full of soldiers standing on the city, obviously guarding against them.
"Hmm, has it been discovered?" Liu Jue muttered to himself.
When Xunyang City was taken yesterday, although the process was very smooth, and Liu Jue also blocked the city later, it was obvious that the news was still leaked, so that Chaisang's defenders were on guard.
"It's just a battle of trapped beasts! Send the order down, rest for a while, and prepare for the siege!"
Liu Jue looked at the defenders at the head of the city, but he didn't take them seriously, at this moment, there would definitely not be too many defenders in Chaisang City, one or two thousand people would be considered the limit.
This number of people wants to stop me from 6,000 tigers and wolves, I'm afraid it's a bit whimsical.
Gan Ning and Su Fei received an order for their subordinates to start repairing in situ while preparing for the attack on Chaisang City.
At this time, at the head of Chaisang City, Gao Hong, the guard general who stayed behind in Chaisang, looked at the menacing army outside the city, and his heart was half cold.
This army came from the west, and it was obviously Jiangxia's army.
"Could it be that the Metropolitan Governor has been defeated?"
Gao Hong couldn't believe it, Zhou Yu personally led an army of 15,000 to attack Jiangxia, even if he couldn't take the other party's city, he wouldn't be defeated.
But if Zhou Yu hadn't been defeated, how could Jiangxia's army appear in Chaisang, and Xunyang City was taken yesterday.
It turned out that Liu Jue took Xunyang yesterday, although the city was blocked at the first time, but there were still guards who escaped from the city, and rushed to Chaisang overnight to tell Gao Hong.
Gao Hong didn't believe it originally, but at this moment, the Jiangxia army was approaching the city, but he had to believe it.
At this moment, Gao Hong was struggling in his heart, whether he would stick to the city, or open the city and surrender to the other party
If Kaesong surrenders, the other party will definitely spare his life.
Hold on to the city, if it can succeed, it will be a great achievement, but the Chaisang garrison is only a thousand, how can it resist the opponent's thousands of troops?
Gao Hong struggled continuously, and in the end, the idea of defending the city prevailed.
This is a great opportunity for meritorious service, Chaisang is an important town in Jiangdong, the military status is very important, and there are Zhou Yu's families in the city, if you can hold Chaisang City, it will be a great feat.
At that time, whether it is Zhou Yu or Sun Quan, they will definitely not treat themselves badly, and promotion and fortune are just around the corner!
Gao Hong thought of this, and the idea of sticking to the city became even more firm, not to mention that Chaisang City was tall and heavy, and the other party might not be able to attack it.
About a quarter of an hour later, Liu Jue's army was repaired, with Gan Ning as the vanguard, leading 2,000 soldiers to attack the city.
Gan Ning was very smart, and led the soldiers to assemble in front of Chaisang City, but he did not attack the city at the first time, but shouted to the soldiers defending the city: "Listen, the defenders in Chaisang City listen, Zhou Yu has been defeated by my young general, and all the 15,000 troops have been wiped out, if you know the current affairs, quickly open the city gate and surrender, otherwise I will level your city!"
When the defenders in Chaisang City heard Gan Ning's words, they were already worried, and their faces were full of fear at this moment.
Gao Hong saw that the army's heart began to waver, and hurriedly shouted: "Don't listen to their nonsense, how can the Metropolitan Governor fail? As long as we hold Chaisang City, the Metropolitan Governor will definitely be rewarded!"
However, these words did not have much effect, because Chaisang's soldiers all saw that the warships that these Jiangxia troops were riding originally belonged to their Jiangdong.
If Zhou Yu hadn't been defeated, then how could these warships have fallen into the hands of the Jiangxia army?
At this moment, the morale of the defenders of Chaisang City fell to the lowest point.
