Changsha, Linxiang County.

From the Yangtze River upstream, it is divided into two in Jiangxia, a tributary Hanshui along the northwest direction, dividing Jiangxia and Nanjun, and a main stream from the southwest, isolating the four counties in the south and the Jianghan Plain.

As one of the few counties with plains, Changsha has always been the first of the four counties.

It is also for this reason that after Liu Biao passed on the seven counties, he asked Liu Pan to go south to Changsha to ensure his control over the four counties in the south.

At this time, in the Linxian County Guard's Mansion, Liu Pan was holding Cai Mao's military report, looked at the soldiers in front of him and said:

"What does General Cai mean is that Sun Jianjun did not go south from Exian to Changsha, but instead marched to Jiangling?"

When the soldier heard this, he nodded hurriedly

"General, yes!".

"Our army doesn't know where Sun Jian came from. "

"Suddenly, they arrived outside the city of our army, and when the sneak attack failed, they were stationed outside the city to attack. "

"I've been making ordnance these days, and presumably in a few days, I'll be directly attacking our Gangneung. "

"The previous attack on our army suffered heavy casualties, if the enemy attacked, how should we resist it?".

"Therefore, General Cai hurriedly ordered me to wait for the night to go out of the city and go out for help!"

"I beg the general to send troops quickly, otherwise Jiangling will be difficult to protect!".

As he spoke, he took out a silk book from his bosom asking for help:

"General Cai's letter is here, please check it out!"

Liu Pan listened to the words, took the silk letter, compared it with Cai Mao's letter, and then looked at a general beside him and said

"General Huang, what do you think about this matter?"

Beside him, he was about forty years old, with a long mouth and a burly figure, looking mighty.

His person was Huang Zhong, a veteran under Liu Bei in the future.

However, at this time, the general was not old, and although he was past his peak, he was still mighty.

He is now serving as a lieutenant general under Liu Biao, guarding Changsha with Liu Pan.

Hearing Liu Pan's words, Huang Zhong arched his hand and said:

"According to the last general's opinion, most of this book is true!".

"The general must have forgotten that before Cai Mao sent a letter that day, our army spies heard that a fleet sailed into Dongting Lake. "

"Looking at the water thieves in Dongting Lake, there are only such a scale of branches. "

"From this point of view, there is no doubt that this army must belong to Sun Jian's army!"

"If Sun Jian goes out in person, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Jiangling to hold on!"

When Liu Pan heard this, he touched his chin and thought:

"I also see this, but I am just thinking about how much our army should send troops!"

"Now, according to Cai Mao's letter, Sun Jian has divided into two troops and horses, if there are more troops in Jiangling, then the direction of Exian must be empty!"

"If our army sends fewer troops, I am afraid it will be difficult to fight against Sun Jian!"

Seeing this, Huang Zhong stroked his beard and groaned:

"There are about 12,000 soldiers and horses in our army, or half of them can be sent north!"

"Just go north to attack Sun Jian's back road, and you can relieve the siege of Jiangling!"

Liu Pan listened, turned his head to look at the soldier and said

"What is your name?".

When the soldier heard this, he hurriedly bowed his hand and said

"The villain's surname is Xu, and his name is Kun!".

"Xu Kun, let me ask you, do you know how many soldiers and horses Sun Jian's army has outside the city?"

Xu Kun listened, thought for a while, shook his head and said:

"The villain went out of the city at night, and did not dare to probe the enemy army in detail. "

"I only know that there are many enemy camps, and I am afraid that there are more than 10,000 of them!"

"There are more than 10,000 of them, which is a lot!".

Liu Pan reasoned:

"Sun Jian has only more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, and there must be losses in the previous capture of Jiangxia. "

"Now that more than 10,000 have been sent to attack Jiangling, how many soldiers and horses can be left in Exian County?"

When Huang Zhong heard this, he pondered carefully:

"Does the general mean to besiege Wei and save Zhao?"

"Attack Exian to relieve the siege of Jiangling?".

"Otherwise, General Huang will misunderstand!"

Liu Pan shook his head and smiled

"I mean, Sun Jian is now killing himself!".

"Now General Cai Mao is in Xiling, and Sun Jian is deep in the hinterland of our army, and he must want to break through Jiangling in a battle. "

"But Jiangling has not been lowered, and Chen Bing is outside the city as a last resort. "

"If our army strikes with thunder now, goes north in one fell swoop to attack Sun Jian's back road, and then makes Cai Taishou attack Exian, then Sun Jian's army has a way to escape?"

"If you want to defeat Sun Jian, you will fight here!".

When Huang Zhong heard this, his spirits perked up and said:

"The general's words are very good!".

"Then, according to the general's opinion, how should our army move?"

This time, Liu Pan did not reply to Huang Zhong, but said directly to Xu Kun:

"You quickly return to report to General Cai, saying that our army will leave today, and at most seven days will arrive at Jiangling, and you must hold the city tightly, and you must not let the enemy succeed!"

After finishing speaking, he said to Huang Zhong:

"General Hansheng, you quickly go and order the troops and horses, our army will send 10,000 troops to attack Sun Jian's rear!"

When Huang Zhong heard this, he was immediately shocked:

"General, our army only has so many soldiers and horses, if we send 10,000 troops, there will only be 2,000 people in the city!"

"What are you afraid of?".

Liu Pan was bolder than Huang Zhong in using soldiers, and waved his hand

"Now that the enemy army has fallen into Jiangling, there will be no more attacks on Changsha. "

"Besides, Cai Taishou Chen Bing Jiangxia, only one letter is needed to go, and he can let him contain the rest of Sun Jian. "

"Our army only sent a few thousand, and it is difficult to achieve results, so it is better to go north and fight directly with Sun Jian. "

"If we can completely defeat it, then there will be no more war in Jingzhou, and you and I can also make a great contribution through this, isn't it beautiful?"

Huang Zhong was so bewitched by Liu Pan, and suddenly found that it was indeed as Liu Pan said.

Now is a great time to defeat Sun Jian, once missed, there will be no chance.

Leaving two thousand soldiers and horses, they have already defended the general thieves, as long as they defeat Sun Jian, they will be a great achievement!

After thinking for a while, he had to give up:

"In this way, according to the general's words, the last general will go to reorganize the army!"

Seeing that Huang Zhong agreed, Liu Pan nodded and smiled:

"The general is like this, why can't I make meritorious contributions!".

After he finished speaking, seeing that Xu Kun was still there, he frowned and said:

"You kid, since you have received your life, why don't you go back to your life quickly?"

When Xu Kun heard this, he hurriedly arched his hand and said:

"The villain takes the order!".

He walked all the way out of the mansion, only then did he grin and say secretly in his heart:

"The military division really didn't expect it, the enemy army really took the bait, there are only 2,000 defenders in the city, how can Changsha not take it?".

He is the person sent by Sun Jian to pretend to pass on the military order this time.

Although his surname is Xu, he is Sun Jian's nephew, and he followed Sun Jian into the army as a teenager.

So far, he has held the position of partial general.

This time, when he heard that Sun Jian was going to seize Changsha, he recommended himself to go south to give orders.

Seeing Liu Pan arrange this, he was naturally very happy, and immediately left the mansion and walked in the direction of Jiangling with his soldiers Pegasus.

...

Nam-gun, inside Gangneung Fortress.

Just as Jiangling fell and all parties had their own actions, Sun Jian and Xiao Zhe were rarely idle, walking all the way on the street.

After a few days of pacification, the city gradually became populated.

Looking at the bustling street scene, Sun Jian said in a good mood:

"Military advisor, this Jiangling is really prosperous, and it is much more prosperous than Jiangxia Xiling City!"

Xiao Zhe listened, nodded, and said thoughtfully

"Indeed, if you talk about prosperity, Jingzhou is nothing more than Nanyang and Jiangling, and even Xiangyang is not comparable to these two places. "

When Sun Jian heard this, he saw that Xiao Zhe seemed worried, and couldn't help but wonder:

"What's wrong with the military advisor, why do you look a little restless today?".

When Xiao Zhe heard this, he looked indifferent from the past, and said quite seriously:

"I have a question, please answer it truthfully!"

Seeing this, Sun Jian was shocked, and thought that Xiao Zhe had thought of something wrong, so he hurriedly said:

"If the military advisor has any questions, you might as well speak up!"

As soon as he asked, he saw Xiao Zhe coming over and asked in a low voice

"I heard that the lord got the jade seal of the country in Luoyang City in the past, dare to ask if this matter is true?"

"The jade seal of the country?".

When Sun Jian heard this, his face sank.

Obviously, Xiao Zhe's question asked him.
