The Three Kingdoms started from fooling Jia Xu

Chapter 95
"My lord, it's a disaster, it's a disaster!"

Zhang Xian frowned, flicked his sleeves slightly displeased and said, "Hmph, why are you so flustered?"

"My lord, Linxiang was captured by Zhang Xiujun three days ago, and our army's retreat has been cut off." The scribe cried out in pain, his expression full of fear.

"What did you say?" Zhang Xian was instantly annoyed, grabbed the scribe's skirt and shouted, "Don't talk nonsense, Zhang Xiujun is clearly confronting Liu Biao in Xiangyang, how could he appear in Changsha?"

"Could it be that all the soldiers under his command can't fly?"

"My lord, this matter is absolutely true!" The scribe's voice trembled, and he said bitterly, "It's Zhang Xiu's general Wenpin. After he captured Jiangxia, he led the army to attack the rear of our army."

"The rear of our army is empty, and it is difficult to resist at all. In just a few hours, Linxiang was defeated. Now Linxiang has fallen into the hands of the bandit general."

Hearing this, Zhang Xian's eyes widened with anger, he stepped back two steps, his whole body was a little lost, and then he asked anxiously: "Then what about my wife and children? Where are they now?"

"No, I don't know. I think it should still be in Linxiang City. I'm afraid it's more than auspicious." The scribe looked sad. He never expected that Zhang Xiu would sneak attack from their rear.

After all, from the perspective of the three parties, Zhang Xiu is the weakest, so he dare not swallow the whole of Jingxiang in one go!

Zhang Xian shook his head in fear, his expression full of grief, for a long time he said urgently as if grasping at a straw, "Hurry up, order the three armies to follow me back to Linxiang and kill the enemy general."

"No!" The scribe nodded helplessly. This is the only thing at the moment. Otherwise, if the three armies know that Linxiang has fallen, they may not be able to return to Changsha, and the army will disperse.

After all, their wives and children are all in Changsha.

Immediately, Zhang Xian had no time to enjoy the joy of victory, and hurriedly left five thousand soldiers to guard the city, and then led tens of thousands of horses back to Linxiang.

Linxiang is its foundation, and there must be no loss.

Along the way, Zhang Xian kept sending orders to gallop.

The next day, on the official road south of Xiangyang.

Zhang Xiu left Huang Zhong to guard Xiangyang, and personally led [-] powerful soldiers to conquer Jingnan. At the same time, he sent Cai Mao to lead [-] boats to accompany him, which can be regarded as advancing by land and water.

Xu Shu accompanied the army, and Cui Jun stayed in Xiangyang to temporarily take charge of Jingxiang's government affairs.

Glancing at Xu Shu, Zhang Xiu said solemnly, "Yuan Zhi, do you have any news from Zhong Ye?"

Xu Shu shook his head, and replied in a deep voice: "Not yet, I think he has already arrived in Linxiang, and there will be news in the next few days."

"Yeah, I hope she's okay."

Zhang Xiu let out a sigh of relief, quite concerned about his safety.

At this time, a fast horse came galloping and shouted: "My lord, there is an urgent message from Jia Xu's military division."

Zhang Xiu raised his eyebrows, and immediately motioned for Xu Shu to take over.

Xu Shu frowned and said, "My lord, Yuan Shu has been defeated. Cao Cao captured Yuan Shu's puppet capital Shouchun seven days ago, and now Yuan Shu has fled across Huainan."

"Yuan Shu is defeated now?" Zhang Xiu was quite speechless: "This Yuan Shu is so stupid that it's ridiculous. He has tens of thousands of soldiers under his command. Even if he keeps his eyes closed, Cao Cao can't take Shouchun in two months. !"

However, it seems that because of his own relationship, these historical lines have been advanced a lot. Later Cao Cao did not attack Yuan Shu so quickly, and I really don't know what will happen next.

Shaking his head, Zhang Xiu didn't want to think too much, but instead asked: "Did Wen He say anything else in the letter?"

"Never, but now that Yuan Shu has been defeated, Cao Cao's next target must be Xuzhou. Xuzhou Lu Bu and Xiaopei Liu Bei are close to each other. I'm afraid Cao Cao will not be able to decide in the short term."

Xu Shu's face was dignified, and he spoke in thought.

"Hehe, I'm afraid not necessarily." Zhang Xiu sneered and shook his head, and then said: "Lu Bu is greedy, but Liu Bei has ambitions in the world. Although the two are lips and teeth, they each have their own ghosts."

"What's more, Liu Bei and Xiao Pei are constantly recruiting troops. As long as Cao Cao makes use of them, there will probably be a battle between Lu Bu and Liu Bei soon."

"In this battle, Liu Bei will surely lose, and Lv Bu will surely win. At that time, Cao Cao will definitely raise up the three armies and conquer Lv Bu."

If Zhang Xiu remembers well, in history, Lu Bu attacked Liu Bei in 198, and Liu Bei was defeated and went to Cao Cao. Then Cao Cao led the army to attack Lu Bu, and finally besieged the city for several months, and the water flooded Xiapi and won.

Surprise flashed across Xu Shu's eyebrows, but it was possible after careful consideration, and said immediately: "If Cao Cao wins, then he will occupy the Central Plains and face Yuan Shao across the river."

"I'm afraid that within three years, the two will have a battle!"

At this point, his eyes were burning, and he said in a deep voice: "My lord, after Jingzhou is fully occupied, our army will be ready to mobilize horses and wait for the Central Plains to change."

Zhang Xiu nodded. It's too early to tell about the changes in the Central Plains in the past three years.

However, according to his idea, when Jingzhou was settled down, Fang Li raised his troops, and then set up troops with Jiangxia and Nanyang respectively.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiu frowned. The east of Jiangxia is Yangzhou.

Sun Ce thought it would not be long before he took down Danyang. After taking down Danyang, later generations have been secretly forming an alliance to kill Liu Biao and the defeated Yuan Shu.

But in this life, Liu Biao died early, and Yuan Shu fled half a year earlier. It didn't take long before Sun Ce would occupy Danyang and occupy Yangzhou.

At that time, he will definitely march into Jiangbei and attack Jiujiang and Lujiang.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiu frowned.

Lujiang?He seems to have missed something, is there anything he likes in Lujiang?

…………

A few days later, under the city of Linxiang in Changsha.

Tens of thousands of troops came in mighty force, but when they saw the flag rising in the wind above the city, they couldn't help whispering and their eyes showed fear.

They never expected that Linxiang had fallen, and their lord was in such a hurry to bring them back to take back Linxiang, right?
Zhang Xian's eyes were gloomy, he patted his horse forward, looked at Wenpin on the top of the wall, his body was trembling, and shouted angrily: "Hey, you treacherous villain actually sneaked behind the alliance."

At the head of the city, Wenpin sneered and shouted, "Attack if you want, why are there so many nonsense?"

"You," Zhang Xian turned pale, extremely annoyed.

"Order the three armies to prepare to attack the city. If you can't take Linxiang down, all of them will come to see me."

After the words fell, all the generals looked at each other.

"My lord, don't do it. Our army is very short of siege equipment at the moment. We must not attack by force!" On the side, the scribe hurriedly came out and said anxiously.

"Hmph," Zhang Xian snorted coldly, "Even if you only have a single log today, you must break Linxiang City for me. If you dare to disturb the morale of the army again, I will punish you."

After finishing speaking, he turned around, his gaze was like a torch, and he drew his sword and shouted angrily: "Soldiers and soldiers, your wives, children, old and young are all in the city, and the only way to enter the city today is to fight to the death."

"Follow me to kill!!!"

All the soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then rushed forward one after another with their heads hot. All the generals gritted their teeth and also raised their knives.

There is no way, Zhang Xian knows that this battle cannot be delayed, on the one hand because he has no food, and on the other hand, the three armies know this, if they can't take Linxiang in one go, they may lose their morale.

That is to say, at present, only a strong attack has a glimmer of life, and of course there is only a glimmer of hope.
