"Please rest assured, the things I said are definitely for the general's sake. As long as the general acts according to the plan, it is impossible to say that in the end, there will be some hope of achieving the dragon!"

The Taoist said with a giggle.

"I hope so!" A hot look flashed in Longcheng's eyes, he stopped talking, and left with great strides.

The Taoist looked at Longcheng's back and raised his lips slightly: "If you have something to ask for and want, it's easy to do..."

Turning around, he sank into the shadows, disappearing.

...

In Jiangxia City, Song Yu's army was strict in military discipline. This city was easily destroyed and the damage was very small. Song Yu did not retaliate, and the people escaped.

At this time, in the hall of the city lord, there were a gathering of civil and military officials, surrounding a map of Jingzhou.

The strategic value of maps in ancient times was extremely important and was often controlled by the government and difficult to spread. This was offered by Wang Tong.

"In the past three days, Hong Quan's Linjiang Navy went up the river and won consecutive battles. He had already captured Hanyang, Wulin and Chibi, clearing the barriers to Baling!"

Song Yu held a jade Ruyi and pointed to the map hanging in the air and said.

On the left hand side, Meng Che lowered his head and was very respectful. Since defeating Jiangxia, he has restrained his sharpness and turned low. This time, he was also the reason why he tried to lift Hong Quan to take action on the grounds that his own naval army was exhausted.

Meng Che is very clear about the way to hide his strength and keep a low profile. He was originally a surrender general, but his foundation is unstable. Now he has made great contributions. If he doesn't do this, he may provoke suspicion.

Now that he has launched his old boss Hong Quan, he wants to give him credit for nothing, but he has received a lot of praise, thinking that he can be a human being.

Song Yu was as clear as watching the fire when he was thinking about this subordinate, but he didn't point it out.

He pointed to Baling again: "This place is an important town in Jingzhou, the foundation of the Dongting Navy. You can attack Jiangling from north and Changsha from south. The geography is extremely superior, and it is a place that military strategists must fight for!"

"In the past three days, my army has also been rested. In addition to leaving Yidu as the backbone and cooperating with the local garrison troops to guard Jiangxia, other troops will all set up tomorrow and follow me to personally conquer Baling!"

After capturing this Baling, you can not only get Dongting Lake, but also go straight to Jingnan and capture Changsha and other places, and get half of Jingzhou.

Song Yu's worst plan is to split Jingzhou with Shi Longjie. Shi Longjie won Jingbei and he won Jingnan. This is the bottom line and is acceptable.

Shi Longjie's army is essentially a bandit. He only knows how to plunder.

Shi Longjie himself was reincarnated as the Ghost King, who proved the Demons by killing Taoism and did not do anything to produce. Both sides seemed to occupy half of the state, but over time, Song Yu must have obtained the destiny of heaven, and there was no shortage of troops and food.

By then, Shi Longjie would also upset Jingzhou and Yizhou, and the people would be filled with resentment. Just as he plowed the courtyard and swept the cave.

Of course. These are based on the non-interference in the North.

When Song Yu thought about it, he felt that he was too arrogant. Who were Yuan Zong and Taishang Dao? How could he allow him to calmly unify the south and advance to the north???

"However, I have been watching the world's atmosphere in the past few days, and it is a bit confusing. The dragon's struggle is more intense and the world's luck is entangled. The deeper I enter the game, can't I spy on it?"

Song Yu said to himself, "I saw the energy of the north last night, and there might have been a change. Although the aura of Yuan Zong is strong, he may not be able to obtain the destiny! There may be any secret conspiracy here..."

On the second day, the gates of Jiangxia opened wide, and a hundred thousand troops embarked on the journey in a mighty way.

Song Yu was still on the navy ship. Hong Quan had been waiting beside him. When he saw Song Yu, he went forward to salute: "Hello, lord!"

"I am a southerner at least. Not to mention the general knowledge of water, this kind of boat trip is still tolerant."

Song Yu will never get seasick, but the carriages in this world have no shock absorption devices, and the road is bumpy and the degree of suffering is still above the ship.

Therefore, when Song Yu traveled, he rarely rode in a carriage and used a carriage mostly. Now, he even used a five-toothed ship.

"You have fought well in these battles, and you have the majesty of our old Wu Nan!"

Song Yu rarely got up casually, but Hong Quan's eyes were slightly red when he heard this.

He knelt down and said, "Please rest assured, lord, Hong Quan will not lose his reputation as our Wu Nan Navy!" He was already choked in his tone.

Speaking of the navy, Hong Quan was definitely the first general under Song Yu's command, and he created the Linjiang navy with another hand, and he was a veteran.

Unfortunately, Hong Quan's own talent was limited, and many former Wuzhou imperial naval generals joined him later, comparing him, and Xu Lei came from behind and served as the governor of the Yangtze River Navy.

How could it be if Hong Quan didn’t have any knots in his heart?

Now seeing the lord like this, I feel that the grievances and contempt I have suffered in the past, and the hard work of studying military books day and night, thinking about fighting strategies, are not worth mentioning.

"I see your efforts. Even if you can pursue progress, you will have your place in the future!"

Hong Quan could be considered as a senior man Long, so Song Yu naturally had to be lenient. He would let go of his mistakes for several times, otherwise he would have probably come down from the position of governor of the Linjiang Naval Army.

"Thank you lord!!!" Hong Quan kowtowed deeply.

Marines by water are also a large river like the Yangtze River, which is several times more convenient than land, and it also avoids the pain of crossing mountains and ridges. Although it is going upstream, its speed is far higher than that of land marching.

Song Yu led an army of 100,000, and Zhou Yu was still on the way to the army. Now, the entire southern part of Jingzhou could not gather tens of thousands of troops. Song Yu was also known as a murderer in the city. Who dared to disobey? As soon as the army arrived, he opened the city and surrendered.

In early June, the troops came to Baling City.

Baling was named Yueyang in ancient times and was the cradle of Jingchu culture. It has always emerged as a group of wise men, literati and poets come and go, and has a profound cultural heritage.

When the army reached Baling, it was dusk. The sunset was setting, falling on the top of Baling city, reflecting the water surface, and showing the atmosphere of literary thought in the magnificent waves.

"This Baling land is very literary and perhaps has great talent!" Song Yu's eyes surged, and he saw more than others.

He smiled at the people around him and said, "This is such a beautiful scenery, I really don't want to be stained with blood here. I will send you a message to surrender!"

"No!" It is rare for the lord to have such elegant intentions, and all his subordinates receive the order.

After all, it takes time to prepare to attack the city, and it is absolutely impossible today. In this way, it can spread the reputation of a virtuous person and kill two birds with one stone.

"Zhou Yu may have arrived in Jiangling, and this Baling is the last snack!" Song Yu remembered the information from the Jinyiwei that he had just received.

When Zhou Yu came back, the situation in Jingnan changed again. Although there would not be enough troops in various places immediately, with the backbone, the resistance would be more firm and it would be more troublesome to say surrender.

"But even if Zhou Yu is in a hurry, he cannot save the siege of Baling! If Baling is down, this strategic position will be extremely beneficial!"

Song Yu smiled and sent an order: "The army set up camp and give the baling general one night to consider!"

"No!" All the generals went down to prepare.

On the wall of Baling, the guard general Bian Hu looked at the sails and couldn't help but lose his voice: "The shadows of the ships cover the sky and the sun. I thought it was a meticulous report to explore the horse. When I saw it today, it was so!"

At this moment, all the elite soldiers of the Dongting Navy were transferred by Zhou Yu. There were only a thousand people in the Navy camp and a few small boats. It would be better not to mention them.

I saw a large flag erected in the military camp, and teams of people were in an orderly manner. The civil and military officials on the city wall were all collectively lost.

"I heard that Wu system has 1,200 people in each capital and 6,000 people in each capital. Looking at this camp, there are a commanding flag, ten large flags, countless small flags, and there are ten government soldiers, sixty thousand people, plus the 40,000 naval divisions, which are really a 100,000 army, without falsehood!!!"

A civil servant murmured.

This result made the people on the city even more lose confidence.

At this time, the officer who persuaded surrender also rode his horse to the city, his voice loudly, and his voice was as thunderous as thunder: "I heard that the people in the city are the king of the country. I can't bear to see the misfortune of Baling, so I ordered me to come... I'll wait for you overnight. If you resist to the end, the thunder will be destroyed. It will be too late to regret it. Don't say that you don't want to say it's not ready!!!"

The officer shouted three times, and heard it on the top of the city before turning his horse's head away.

Bian Hu was silent for a long time before laughing, "Since Duke of Wu has given me a night of waiting, you will go back and rest first, and discuss it later..."

He waved his hand to disperse everyone and got back home on his own. Although there were guards on both sides, he was still full of uneasiness when he thought of the army outside the city.

When I returned to my residence, I saw a group of servants surrounded me, and the old housekeeper, with a few farm doctors and weapons.

"What's wrong?" Bian Hu frowned.

"Master Qi Bian, there are two servants who took the master's things and wanted to take the opportunity to escape. They were caught by the old slave. They were caught and caught. They were about to deal with it!"

The old butler saluted first, then took Bian Huma's reins before saying that.

"Escape?" Bian Hu's face turned cold at first, and then he smiled bitterly: "The news spread so quickly, so even the people in the mansion don't like me anymore?"

"Young Master, don't say that!" The housekeeper quickly persuaded him, but he didn't know where to start.

"You don't have to say what to do, just do what these two people should do!" Bian Hu waved his hand, suddenly feeling extremely tired, dragged his body into the mansion.

Behind him, the cry of slaves came faintly.

"Sir, Father!" As soon as I entered the door, a young man came out to salute, with a face similar to Bian Hu, who was Bian Hu's legitimate son.

"Zhuang'er! Get up!" If Bian Hu likes this son in normal times, he must have a conversation and care about his academic progress.

But now, the entire Bian Mansion is in full swing, but I don’t care about it anymore. I waved my hand and wanted my son to leave.

However, Bian Zhuang pondered for a while and said, "Father doesn't have to hide it from his son. The 100,000 army of Duke Wu outside the city is very powerful, and the entire Baling knows it!"

"Is it a plan to attack the heart?" Bian Hu was shocked and asked, "What about the old lady?"

"The mansion is hiding it from grandma!" Bian Zhuang said.

"That's good. The old man can't stand it. If something happens, I will be a sinner!" Bian Hu breathed a sigh of relief.

"But if the city is broken, my Bian family can't escape this disaster!" Bian Zhuang took a deep breath and said.

"What do you want to say?" Bian Hu looked at the son.

"My father only has one capital soldier, and Baling is extremely empty in defense. Under the 100,000 army, I'm afraid I can't even hold on for a day!" (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
