Chapter 218: Counter-attack

Jia Xu asked with a smile, "Does General Zilong think we shouldn't do something to Liu Biao?"

Zhao Yun shook his head and said, "The reason why we had to rescue Liu Biao was only because we were unable to take Jingzhou temporarily, and it would be very detrimental for us to let Sun Jian obtain Jingzhou. Now the situation is different, Yuan Shao. Cao Cao was too busy to take care of himself, and Jingzhou was already very difficult to defend, so he let Sun Jian seize it. It is better for us to attack Jingzhou first!" Xu Huang nodded in agreement: "Yes! How can such a good place be occupied by Liu Biao's waste? Now!" Dian Wei looked like he had no opinion.

Chen Lang and Jia Xu smiled at each other, and Chen Lang said to Xu Huang, "Gongming, you immediately gather all our infantry. Then follow Wenhe to Jingzhou and make a surprise attack on Jingzhou City." Xu Huang clasped his fist and promised.

Chen Lang looked at Zhao Yun and Dianwei, and said, "You two lead soldiers and horses to follow me. I want to invite all Jingzhou generals to a banquet tonight!" Zhao Yun and Dianwei clasped their fists and promised.

The arrangement was properly arranged, and everyone immediately went down to prepare.

Chen Lang stood in front of the sand table, looking at the sand table, thinking.

That night, Chen Lang's big tent was brightly lit, wine and meat fragrant, and all generals and important officials from Jingzhou were present. The atmosphere at the banquet was harmonious, and the Jingzhou civil and military toasts to Chen Lang one after another, and the voices of flattery one after another.

After drinking for three rounds, Chen Lang put down his wine glass and said: "You guys, don't lie to each other. If the war continues like this, I am worried that Jingzhou will eventually be taken over by Sun Jian!"

Huang Zhongwenpin and the others couldn't help showing concern, and Kuai Yue smiled; "How can Sun Jian succeed with the generals?" Many people agreed.

Chen Lang shook his head, and said, "Jingzhou Army had suffered heavy losses in a losing streak in consecutive battles and its morale was low, but now it has been occupied by Jiangdong Army. Although I led the army to win several battles, after all, there was no way to fundamentally change the situation. "Then frowned, "And the most worrying thing is Liu Jingzhou's attitude! I heard that Liu Jingzhou listened to the slander and has the plan to cancel my right to command the Jingzhou army and to withdraw the Jingzhou army to Jingzhou! In this way, Jingzhou will definitely. Lost!" When everyone heard the words, they couldn't help expressing their worries.

Chen Lang saw that the pavement was almost complete, and he said, "If Liu Jingzhou is allowed to continue to sit in Jingzhou, Jingzhou will be rebelliously seized by Sun Jian! As the imperial general hussars, I must not sit back and watch this happen! So I intend to represent the imperial court. The power of Liu Biao and Jingzhou Mu is revoked, and Jingzhou is returned to the imperial court!"

Everyone was taken aback when he said this!

Huang Zhonghuo started and said loudly: "No! Even though Liu Biao is mediocre, there is nothing wrong with it. How can the general say that his office is revoked!"

Wei Yan immediately stood up and said tit-for-tat: "Old General Huang, what the court has to consider is the well-being of the people of Jingzhou, not the honor or disgrace of Liu Biao! It is impossible for the whole Jingzhou and all the people to fall into rebellious hands for the sake of one Liu Biao! General Huang should make a clear distinction between priority and priority!"

Huang Zhong frowned and said, "Nevertheless, I can't bear it!" Chao Chen Lang clasped his fist and said, "I may not be able to defeat Jiangdong Army if I wait for my sincere cooperation!"

Chen Lang replied: "Old General, don't you think it's too worthwhile to take such a big risk for Liu Biao alone?" He glanced at everyone and said, "I have decided. Who of you wants to be loyal to the court?"

Wei Yan was the first to clasp his fist and said: "I am waiting to be an official of the Han Dynasty, so naturally I should be loyal to the court! The general hunts the sky on behalf of the sky, and the general will follow his orders!" Chen Lang glanced at the others, Cai Tao and Zhang Yun Cai Zhong and Cai He expressed their allegiance to the court. Wen Pin hesitated and said, "The final general is willing to obey the command of the general!" Most of Kuai Yuejian agreed, and had no choice but to clasp his fists: " The subordinates are also willing to be loyal to the general!"

Huang Zhong shouted angrily; "How can you be like this? Master Liu has been waiting for me, how can I betray Master Liu! Between the world of life, how can we be so ruthless and unrighteous!" Wei Yan said naturally, "What is Liu Biao's ability? , Worthy of being my lord! Only a person like a general can make me serve my life wholeheartedly!" Wen Pin looked ashamed, while Cai Yuan, Zhang Yun and others stared at Huang Zhong angrily.

Chen Lang said to Huang Zhong: "Old General Huang, loyalty to a person is only a small loyalty and a small righteousness. A male man can die for the people. It is not worth it if he lay down his life for the glory and wealth of a person! Don’t get it! Besides, I’m hunting on behalf of the sky. If the old general is confronting, wouldn’t it be against the imperial court! Which is more important, General Huang has to think about it!"

Huang Zhong frowned and said: "The general does not need to say more! I, Huang Zhong, is grateful for the Lord's justice and will never betray! The general kills me!" Everyone present was shocked.

Zhao Yun looked at Chen Lang with some worry.

Chen Lang sighed. When everyone saw this, they thought that Huang Zhong's life was about to be lost. Huang Zhong stood proudly without fear.

Chen Lang sighed in his heart. Although he knew that Huang Zhong should be killed, he couldn't help but said: "If I want me to kill General Huang, how can I succeed! I still remember the scene when you and I were drunk and drunk!" Huang Zhong's expression couldn't help becoming gentler, and he couldn't help muttering: "I didn't expect the general to remember it!"

auzw.com Chen Lang said: "Since Old General Huang refuses to take effect, I will not force it. Old General, you go!"

Huang Zhong was greatly surprised, and then nodded, clasped his fist and said, "Thank you, General for your kindness!" Then he turned and left.

"Wait a minute!" Chen Lang shouted suddenly.

Everyone was shocked. Huang Zhong turned around and smiled bitterly: "After all, the general still can't let me go! Not to mention, I have nothing to regret about being able to die in the hands of the general, Huang Zhong!"

Chen Lang stood up, walked in front of Huang Zhong, and said, "Old general, Liu Biao is definitely not the master. The old general is too upright and afraid that he will die at the hands of the villain. It is better to be careful everywhere!" Huang Zhong couldn't help feeling moved, and bowed to Chen Lang before turning around.

Chen Lang watched Huang Zhong leave, feeling a little melancholy. Turned around and glanced at everyone, and said: "I won't force any of you to leave. If you want to leave, you can go with Huang Zhong!"

Everyone glanced at each other, and everyone showed convincing expressions. Only Kuai Yue came out to pray: "The lord is kind to the lower officials, and the lower officials can't bear to leave. Please forgive me, the general!" Chen Lang nodded, "Go. Go all the way." Kuai Yue worshiped Chen Lang. Bye bye, and went in a hurry.

Chen Lang returned to the top and gave orders to Cai Hao and other navy generals: "Cai Hao, Zhang Yun, Cai Zhong Caihe, you will immediately return to the navy camp and lead the navy to retreat to the surface of Jingzhou." The four generals clasped their fists and promised and hurried away Up.

Chen Lang looked at Wenpin and Wei Yan, and ordered: "Wenpin Wei Yan, you two will immediately gather all the army around Jingzhou and prepare for a decisive battle with the Jiangdong Army!" The two clasped their fists and ran down.

Kuai Yue caught up with Huang Zhong and shouted: "Old General Huang! Old General Huang! Wait for me!"

Huang Zhong stopped his horse and stopped, and saw that Kuai Yue was riding his horse and running up. He couldn't help asking: "What is Lord Kuai doing after me?" Kuai Yue rode his horse to Huang Zhong, stopped the horse, and clasped his fist. The officer and Huang Zhong went to see the lord!” Huang Zhongxi said: “Okay!” Then Huang Zhong and Kuai Yue returned to Huang Zhong’s barracks and informed the soldiers of the situation. Most of Huang Zhong’s officers and soldiers were willing to follow Huang Zhong, so Huang Zhong and Kuai Yue led the five or six thousand people from Daying towards Jingzhou. Since Chen Lang had already given an unstoppable order, Huang Zhong and Kuai Yue led the troops and horses without encountering any obstacles.

Huang Zhong and Kuaiyue led the five to six thousand men and drove straight to Jingzhou.

Before dawn, a group of people arrived outside Jingzhou City. However, I was shocked to see the eagle battle flag flying above the city.

The older Huang Zhongkui became frightened, Huang Zhong immediately fought forward and asked in a loud voice, "Where is my master Liu Biao?"

Jia Xu appeared on the top of the city, smiled and clasped his fists and said: "It turned out to be General Huang! The general gave an order on behalf of Tian Xun Shou to dismiss Liu Biao from office. Now Liu Biao and others have retreated to Yiling. "Yiling, more than a hundred miles west of Jingzhou City, is also an important city on the north bank of the Yangtze River. The more Huang Zhong and Kuai heard the words, they had to lead soldiers and horses to the Yiling Mausoleum.

The group felt Yiling and saw Liu Biao. They were shocked to find that Liu Biao seemed to be getting older all of a sudden! I wanted to comfort Liu Biao, but couldn't think of suitable words for a while. The monarch and his subjects looked at each other, and the atmosphere was quite depressing!

Liu Biao let out a long sigh, and said with infinite regret: "I really led the wolf into the room and the wolf into the room!"

Huang Zhong couldn't help asking: "Master, there are 20,000 defenders in Jingzhou City and hundreds of thousands of militiamen. How come they were suddenly taken by Jia Xu?"

Liu Biao sighed and said, "They came to the city of Jingzhou and lied that they were ordered to pass by Jingzhou. I sent people to treat them with wine and meat. But when the city gate opened, the eagles suddenly changed their faces. They rushed in. Our army was caught off guard by them and most of them surrendered. They quickly took control of Jingzhou, and hundreds of thousands of civilian troops naturally surrendered without a fight. Alas!"

Huang Zhong and Kuai Yue looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Liu Biao said with some joy: "Fortunately, when the incident happened, I reacted quickly and escaped from Ximen. Otherwise, I am afraid that I would have become his prisoner of Chen Lang at this moment!" Then he remembered one thing, and asked the two people quickly: "What are you doing? Will you come here suddenly?" His complexion changed suddenly, and he asked anxiously, "Could it be that our army was all defeated by them?"

Huang Zhong and Kuai Yue couldn't help sighing, Huang Zhong said: "The army was not defeated, but surrendered to Chen Lang!" Then they briefly recounted what happened.

Liu Biao furiously attacked his heart, spouting a mouthful of blood, and fell down. When the two saw this, they were so frightened, they hurriedly treated and made a mess.

Chen Lang arranged his defenses and hurried back to Jingzhou. I saw peace in Jingzhou City. Although there were no pedestrians on the street, there was obviously no damage, and I was very satisfied.
