Chapter 189

A month ago, Zhang Ji received an order from Liu Biao, ordering him to gather troops and march south to crusade against Shi Hui.Jingzhou itself has [-] soldiers, but lacks horses, so there are no cavalry.

There are quite a few plains in Changsha County, and it is especially heard that there are cavalry troops under Shi Hui's command, so Liu Biao needs Zhang Ji to send troops to assist.At least, that's what was written in the document, and Zhang Ji certainly wouldn't believe such a reason.

So he gave the document to Jia Xu, who replied: "It's just that I was worried about the general and took the opportunity to bite back!"
There are [-] soldiers in the badge. The key point is that the [-] soldiers did not consume too much when they attacked Wuling, and some casualties were quickly replenished.Facing such an elite force, Liu Biao had to send out the main force of Jingzhou.In this way, the defense of Nanjun will be empty. If Zhang Ji leads the army south at this time, the consequences will be hard to say.

Therefore, whether it is to order Zhang Jin to go south, or to ask for help from the court, it is all out of such considerations.With just one sentence from Jia Xu, Zhang Ji immediately understood many problems.After all, Liu Biao didn't trust him at all!
"Jin Cheng (written by Zhang Xiu)!" Zhang Ji summoned his nephew Zhang Xiu, "Immediately call out 5000 troops, and Zhang Xian and I will lead them!"

"Follow the order! Uncle, are you planning to go south to support Liu Biao?" Zhang Xiu took the order and immediately asked questions.

"Now you and I are dependent on others, how can we not bow our heads? Originally, as long as I was willing to take refuge in the imperial court in Guanzhong, there would be no problem, but Dong Zhuo was kind to me, and a scholar died for his confidant, that's all. But you and Dong Zhuo It doesn't matter, you shouldn't be dragged down by me!" Zhang Ji said solemnly, as if to explain the funeral.

"Uncle, it would be better if we took refuge in Yuan Shao, or Yuan Shu, and raised troops to attack Liu Biao!" Zhang Xiu couldn't see it, and quickly advised him.

"Yuan Shu doesn't like you and my background at all, and Yuan Shao is even more so. Cao Cao, the governor of Yanzhou, is quite a character. However, Yanzhou is sandwiched between the two Yuans, so it is difficult to use it. I will not take refuge in the Guanzhong court. As for Going south to attack Liu Biao, but I can't. If I dare to say that, we will be spurned by the world in the next moment, and our reputation will be completely stink. The only way to break the situation is to let Liu Biao fight while you stay and guard Nanyang County. If necessary, you voted for the Guanzhong court, and you might even be named a general!" Zhang Jiyu said earnestly.

"Uncle..." Zhang Xiu felt very bad, Zhang Ji was completely explaining the funeral.

"Don't be so pessimistic. What I said is just the worst case scenario. If this trip to the south goes well this time, maybe you can hire a Changsha prefect or something, so that you can feel at ease under Liu Biao's command, and the management is not bad!" Zhang Ji laughed, " go!"

Zhang Xiu really wanted to say something, but Zhang Ji didn't intend to let him continue. In desperation, he could only accept the order obediently and count the five thousand most elite soldiers. At the same time, please Zhang Xian to protect Zhang Ji well.

"Lei Xu, Hu Che'er!" Zhang Ji summoned the two old subordinates before he set out for the expedition, "After I leave, my nephew Zhang Xiu will be in charge of all the affairs of Nanyang County and the remaining soldiers!"

"This subordinate understands!" The two of them probably knew Zhang Ji's plan, and accepted the order with a solemn expression.

Three days later, Zhang Ji took [-] Xiliang Iron Cavalry and Qingjun to Xiangyang, and only brought dry food for three to five days.

Other logistical items were not carried at all, which meant that Liu Biao had to provide them.Seeing that Zhang Ji was willing to obey the order to go south, Liu Biao was very pleased, and naturally he didn't mind providing the fee for the 5000 people.

"The last general, Zhang Ji, refer to the governor!" Zhang Ji came to Liu Biao and bowed solemnly.

"The general is able to understand the righteousness, and the governor is very pleased! Let's take a rest for a day and board the ship tomorrow. Your task is to land here at Zhouling, and then attack Changsha County from the side. During this time, the Jiangling navy and Jiangxia navy will Do your best to contain the badges." Liu Biao helped Zhang Ji up, and while taking him to the government office, he told him about the subordinates in this war.

"The final general depends on the governor's arrangement!" Zhang Ji heaved a sigh of relief. The [-] Xiliang cavalry under his command were mainly used for charging and encroaching on flat ground. If he was asked to fight in the water, he would be sent to die.Among other things, he himself can't swim!
"At that time, my son-in-law Liu Pan, as well as generals Huang Zhong and Liu Pan, will go out with the general. Counting the [-] cavalry under the general's command, there will be a total of [-] troops! I hope the general can bring good news to the governor!" Liu Biao After finishing speaking, he introduced Zhang Ji to a group of civil and military personnel, and at the same time introduced Liu Pan, Wang Wei and Huang Zhong to him.

Liu Pan is young and brave, Wang Wei is a little older and gives people the impression that he is quite well-behaved, only Huang Zhong... When he saw him for the first time, Zhang Ji knew very well that this is a strong man, and he is very strong, It should be better than Hua Xiong, but I don't know how it is compared to Lu Bu.

Later, I found out that such a person was actually just a school lieutenant, and his status was still lower than that of Wang Wei. I immediately understood that Liu Biao and even Liu Pan, like many aristocratic families, valued their origins more.This means that he, who is also from a good family, probably won't be reused.

After figuring this out, Zhang Ji couldn't help but feel a little less interested, and the banquet became a little careless.

The next day, Zhang Ji led his troops to board the ship. This was the first time he had ever been on a ship.The swaying of the river made him very uncomfortable. Within a moment, he felt dizzy and dizzy, and then his stomach churns, and he lay down on the side of the boat and vomited.Not only him, many soldiers from the north who followed him to the south are similar.

"It is estimated that when we reach Zhouling, we will have to rest for a day or two before we can march!" Liu Pan said to Huang Zhong beside him, seeing Zhang Ji's embarrassment.

"Zhang Ji was originally from Wuwei, and he was not familiar with water. It's not surprising that such a situation would happen." Huang Zhong didn't mean to laugh at Zhang Ji. The northerner was a big man, and Zhang Ji was eight feet tall, half a head taller than him.As for the other soldiers, they were all over seven feet two inches.But in Jingbei, a seven-foot man is already quite burly.

Most of the men living in the northwest are different from water, and they don't need water battles, so it is understandable that they will not adapt to boarding the boat for the first time.They were already good at land warfare. If they were placed on the ground, even if they didn't ride horses, they wouldn't be able to deal with these 5000 people without even riding a horse.

"I just hope they can show enough strength in Zhouling!" Liu Pan muttered, and stopped teasing.

The large troops went south along the Han River, and because they were going upstream, it inevitably took some time. After walking for two days, they entered the Yangtze River, passed through Shaxian County, continued upstream, and finally arrived at Zhouling County.

Prior to this, Liu Biao had mobilized the Jiangling and Jiangxia naval forces to attack the Changsha navy with all their strength.It stands to reason that with the current shipbuilding technology in Jingzhou, the warships made by the LV3 shipyard are not as powerful on the river.

But the problem is that the surface of the Yangtze River is not wide enough to allow warships to shuttle freely. When the left and right sides are surrounded by enemy troops, the range that the ships can move will be reduced.

At the same time, Huang Zu dispatched more than a dozen warships to ram the warships, and even dispatched water ghosts to penetrate these warships. Gan Ning also had a hard time fighting.The battle situation of the navy began to turn bad...
