Three Kingdoms: Hegemony System

"What? Lu Xun failed?"

Whether it was Dong Xi, Zhu Zhi, or Tai Shici, they were all shocked by the news, couldn't Jingnan's 80,000 army even take Liu Jue?

Zhu Zhi hurriedly came to Baibu to take a look, and his heart suddenly sank, and it was written that not only Lu Xun had failed, but Wen Ping was also about to lead the army to come.

I didn't expect to look forward to it day and night, and what I was looking forward to was not the result I wanted.

Zhu Zhi frowned, and said to Zhou Yu: "Dudu, could this be Zhuge Liang's plan, if Wen Ping is really going to lead the troops to arrive immediately, wouldn't he just be able to catch us off guard and catch us off guard?

Tai Shi Ci nodded and said, "What Jun Li said makes sense, there must be fraud in this!"

Zhou Yu calmed down at this moment, felt that the words of the two were reasonable, and immediately said: "Order the army to suspend the siege of the city, repair it for a few days, and at the same time send a large number of spies to the Yangtze River area to find out the news." If Wen Ping really led the army, he must have to take the waterway. "

Zhu Zhi nodded and said, "Governor, please rest assured, just leave this matter to me." "

"Junli is doing things, I am very relieved. Zhou Yu breathed a long sigh of relief, he felt that his reaction just now was indeed a bit exaggerated.

This is also entirely because the consequences of Lu Xun's failure are too serious, which means that this expedition to Chaisang, if there is no accident, will end in failure.

This is not what Zhou Yu wants to see, from the beginning he was ambitious and wanted to swallow Jing Nan in one bite, but now he is restless, for fear that he will not be able to beat even Chai Sang.

Zhou Yu's mentality is changing, and the war is not as smooth as he imagined.

......

Xiangyang City, in Cai's study.

Just some time ago, Cai Mao received a letter from Wen Ping, which explained that the three counties were too guarded by Chen Bing Hanshou, but it was just a plan to attack the west, and all of this was Jiangdong's ghost.

Cai Mao breathed a sigh of relief on the spot, since Wen Ping had crossed the Yangtze River and went to Jingnan to support Liu Jue, there was no danger in Xiangyang for the time being.

Cai Mao immediately told the good news to Liu Biao, who was seriously ill in bed, and waited patiently for the news from Jingnan to come.

It's just that the news from Jingnan didn't wait, but the battle report from Chaisang's side surprised Cai Mao.

Gan Ning led the navy to drive straight in, all the way into the hinterland of Jiangdong, the Jiangdong navy was completely unable to resist, not only lost more than 20 ferries, but also broke through the Moling.

Before getting this battle report, this was something Cai Mao couldn't even think of.

The Jiangdong Naval Army, which is known as invincible in the world, was actually broken through the river defense by Gan Ning, and it was also burning, killing and looting in the hinterland of Jiangdong!

Could it be that the sun has come out of the west?

Cai Mao was so excited, he didn't care how the Jiangdong Navy was defeated, it was enough to win a big victory, no matter how he won?

What Cai Mao didn't expect was that a few days later, the battle report of Jingnan came, the Taishou of the four counties of Jingnan, in addition to Liu Du was still fleeing, Zhao Fan and Jin Xuan were captured alive, Han Xuan was beheaded for public display, and 50,000 barbarians were killed and wounded.

Yes, after the defeat of Linxiang City, the remaining four leaders immediately fled in the direction of Wuling with their soldiers.

At this time, these Wuxi barbarians had already been broken by the ballistas, and with Wei Yan chasing them behind, they fled almost day and night.

A few days later, these Wuxi barbarians finally arrived on the banks of the Zishui River, as long as they crossed the river, they would be able to enter Wuling County and return to the Wuxi where they lived.

It's just that they didn't expect that Wen Ping had already left 10,000 troops in Yiyang on the banks of the Zishui River, and when Yiyang's army learned that Wuxi Barbarians were fleeing towards Zishui, they immediately lined up on the other side of the river.

So when these Wuxi barbarians crossed the river, the army left by Wen Ping rushed out to intercept and kill, and Wei Yan in the back also chased and killed.

There is a strong enemy in front, and there are pursuers in the rear.

These Wuxi barbarians were even more panicked, and they were blocked by the two armies in Zishui and strangled.

Although these Wuxi barbarians are brave and ruthless, compared with the regular army of the Han Dynasty, it is really not enough, whether it is quality or weapons, it is not at the same level at all.

If they relied on the complex terrain of Wuxi, they could still deal with the Han Dynasty army, but unfortunately this was not Wuxi, so these Wuxi barbarians were suddenly unlucky.

It was a completely one-sided massacre, some were killed by bows and arrows, some were hacked to death by swords, and many more drowned in the Zishui River because of panic.

The mountains of corpses almost filled the Zishui River, and the river turned red, and the last surviving Wuxi barbarians were only more than 8,000 people.

It can be said that almost all the young adults of the Wuxi clan died on the banks of the Zishui River.

Wei Yan originally wanted to kill all the remaining Wuxi people, but after careful consideration, he spared their lives.

It's not that Wei Yan is soft-hearted, but that the tens of thousands of corpses of Zishui must be cleaned up, just let these eight thousand Wuxi barbarians do this kind of thing.

Wei Yan immediately cut off the heads of the leaders of the four major tribes and sent someone to send them to Liu Jue in Linxiang City, while he stayed here to supervise these Wuxi barbarians.

When she saw this news, Cai Mao's hanging heart could finally be put down, and the excitement in her heart was even more difficult to express in words.

Cai Mao looked up at the south and muttered, "This kid is getting more and more powerful!"

Yes, Liu Jue's pacification of the Jingnan Rebellion this time did give Cai Mao a great impact, in addition to feeling excited, he was also shocked by Liu Jue's ability.

At this time, Cai Mao's heart had an urge to fully support Liu Jue.

Liu Jue can thwart 80,000 rebels with the strength of one person, if he inherits Jingzhou in the future, wouldn't it really be possible to dominate the world?

But soon, Cai Mao expelled the idea from her mind.

The first is because of the scruples of the clan, if he Cai Mao fully supports Liu Jue, in case Liu Jue fails in the future, it will not be good news for the Cai family.

In troubled times, eggs must not be put in one basket.

The second is because of Kuai Yue's attitude, the relationship between the Cai family and the Kuai family is close, Kuai Yue and Cai Mao have the same thoughts, they both want Cao Cao to go south in the future, so they will join Cao Cao.

After all, Cao Cao in the north is really a behemoth that can't be provoked!

In Cai Mao's eyes, neither Jingzhou nor Jiangdong has the capital to compete with Cao Cao, and when Cao Jun comes in the future, anyone who dares to stop will be crushed.

Thinking of this, Cai Mao immediately took a deep breath, and then asked people to prepare the carriage and go towards the Zhennan General's Mansion.

Now Liu Biao is sick in bed, and the big and small affairs of Jingzhou are all handled by Cai Mao and Kuai Yue, so after the news is sent, it will be sent to Cai Mao first.

After a while, Cai Mao came to the Zhennan General's Mansion, and under the leadership of the servants in the mansion, he soon came to Liu Biao's room.

Liu Biao's room was filled with a strong smell of medicine, and the few maids who were serving were frowning slightly, because the smell of medicine was too unpleasant.

Liu Biao was lying on the bed, his face was very pale, and between his eyebrows, there was a faint black gas, and he looked like he was almost running out of oil.

"My lord, Lord Cai Mao is asking to see you outside. When the maid saw Cai Mao coming, she immediately went to report to Liu Biaoyu.

"Cai Mao, let him in. Liu Biao said weakly.

"Wow!" the maid nodded, and then went to invite Cai Mao in.

"Lord!"

Cai Mao glanced at Liu Biao on the hospital bed, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this prince who has ruled Jingzhou for more than ten years, I am afraid that time is running out.

"De Jue, why are you here? Is there any news from Jue'er?" Liu Biao sat up from the bed with the help of the maid, looked at Cai Mao and said.

"My lord, the third prince has received good news, the Jingnan Rebellion has been quelled, except for Liu Du, the remaining three county Taishou are all either killed or captured, and Wuxi Man is almost completely wiped out. Cai Mao said and handed the battle report to Liu Biao.

"Really!" After Liu Biao heard the news, a flush suddenly appeared on his originally gray face, and he hurriedly took the battle report and read it.

The more Liu Biao looked at it, the more excited he became, and finally couldn't help laughing, but he didn't laugh a few times, and he gasped violently.

"Lord, be careful!" Cai Mao hurriedly said.

Fortunately, the maid next to her saw that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly stepped forward and patted Liu Biao's back, which made Liu Biao breathe a sigh of relief.

"I have such a male son, even if I die now, I can die blindly. "

Liu Biao coughed, suddenly looked at Cai Mao, and said, "Dejue, you go and call the important ministers of Xiangyang, and I will officially make an edict to let Jue'er inherit Jingzhou." "

Cai Mao took a deep breath and said, "The lord's body only needs to be well conditioned, and it won't take long to recover, so you don't have to be in such a hurry to make an edict." "

Liu Biao shook his head and said, "I know my own body, just do it." "

"Whew!" Cai Mao didn't say anything more and left the room directly.

Liu Biao continued to look at the battle report, his eyes flashed with deep excitement, and he muttered in his mouth: "My Jue'er, you really have the appearance of a hero!"
