"Zhang Xiu!"

Yan Yan, who was about to fight, raised his head and looked at Zhang Xiu with his red eyes open, but his anger and fighting spirit had faded. At this moment, his was particularly calm.

Although the man in front of him was put into the warehouse and released to Ma Nanshan, the legend of this man was circulated all over the world.

Yan Yan claims to have the courage of "the unworthy one man", but he is not Zhang Xiu's opponent, let alone Zhang Xiu and Dian Wei are inseparable.

"People, how dare you call Ming Gong's name directly?" Dian Wei was furious, put his hands behind his waist, and planned to pull out the crescent halberd and go forward to kill Yan Yan.

Before this, he actually admired Yan Yan very much. But because of his honorific title, Yan Yan is just a general in the state, so how dare he call Zhang Xiu’s name directly?

"Each of them is their master. Brother, don't be angry." Zhang Xiu reached out to stop Dian Wei, then raised his head and said sincerely to Yan Yan: "General Yan. I respect your bravery and good at fighting. Today, I promise to all the troops. If you are willing to submit to the court, be appointed as a marquis and generals, and governors, what about?"

There are not many talents in the world who can make Zhang Xiu's heart moved. Yan Yan is one of them. He is a real general of Bashu, brave and good at fighting.

Now Yan Yan is already poor, and it is a good time to persuade Yan Yan to surrender.

Yan Yan did not hesitate at all, raised his head and raised his head and said to Zhang Xiu: "My nephew has all died in battle. How could I, Yan Yan, be worse than my nephew????"

Speaking of this, Yan Yan said angrily: "There are only decapitated generals in our province, but no surrendered generals."

Just as Zhang Xiu was about to speak, Yan Yan touched his neck with his big knife awkwardly. Then he stood with a knife, looked at Zhang Xiu with anger, letting a large amount of blood spurt out of the wound, gradually losing his breath, but his body still stood firm and his momentum was soaring to the sky.

Seeing this, Dian Wei put away the anger in his heart and sighed at Yan Yan.

Zhang Xiu showed a look of surprise on his face. He had always been respectful to the wise and humble, and surrendered countless civil and military officials. Unexpectedly, he was defeated by Yan Yan.

Zhang Xiu then looked up at the forty or fifty soldiers behind Yan Yan, and he also admired these soldiers.

The soldiers who can fight out of the city with Yan Yan and make their last fight are all loyal and righteous people. The remaining forty or fifty people are the elites among the elites.

Zhang Xiu sighed, "General Yan is really a loyal and righteous person, I admire him very much. I like you very much. You..."

Before Zhang Xiu could finish his words, the last forty or fifty people under Yan Yan picked up the weapons in his hands one after another and touched his neck.

A soldier, holding a sabre with countless gaps, cut his neck hard, which was a terrible sight. Then he pounced forward and gradually died with his eyes open.

Even though Zhang Xiu came over from a sea of ​​swords and blood, he felt very cunning.

Zhang Xiu was silent for a long time, then turned to Dian Wei and said, "Everyone has his own aspirations, and do not force it. He ordered Yan Yan's body to be restrained, and he also recognized who was his nephew. He sent it back to the Yan family for burial. He gave Yan family one hundred gold, and should not be neglected. Those who violated the order should be killed."

"promise."

Dian Wei looked down at Yan Yan's body, sighed softly, and bowed his hand to the promise.

Then, Zhang Xiu raised his head and looked at Langzhong City ahead, saying, "Send someone to tell the garrison in the city that if he dares to defend the city, he will fight against our imperial army. Everyone will kill the clan."

"No." A personal soldier responded to the promise and rode his horse to the city. However, with Yan Yan's death in the battle, all the elite troops in the city were lost. The four generals guarding the city had no choice but to open the city and surrender and welcome Zhang Xiu into the city.

Zhang Xiu did not forget Yang Huai, the commander of Wakou Pass, and sent someone to notify Xu Shu, who was responsible for monitoring Yang Huai.

Not long after, Zhang Xiu's army took over the city of Langzhong. Zhang Xiu himself led Dian Wei, many great counselors, and tens of thousands of personal soldiers into the city, took over Yan Yan's mansion, and came to the hall with civil and military officials to sit down.

Although the army passed through Hanzhong's south chimney, it was not considered a great victory. Only by occupying Bazhong was the great victory and the great benefit.

Zhang Xiu sat with a big golden sword, and Yan Yan died just sighed and was replaced by Xise. He turned around and found that except for Xun You, who was paralyzed and Gao Shun, who had the highest military achievements, they all showed more or less joy.

"I have already occupied Bazhong, and although Sun Jian comes, I am incompetent." After expressing my joy, Zhang Xiu smiled at Gao Shun again and said, "In this battle, General Gao destroyed Yan Yan, and was as powerful as a bamboo shoot. He took Bazhong's merit first. I became the emperor and gave him a great reward."

"Thank you, Mr. Ming." Gao Shun's face was not moved at all, but just bowed and bowed.

Seeing this, the generals nodded to Gao Shun with kindness, including Fan Chou, Hu Zhen and others. In the past, Dong Zhuo would deliberately provoke the generals' disagreement under Dong Zhuo's account.

But Zhang Xiu doesn't know, and everyone knows Gao Shun's skills.

Today, Yan Yan was defeated, and they saw it even more. Gao Shun was the first to be rewarded and was very convinced.

Immediately, Zhang Xiu used Xun You to temporarily lead Langzhong City to appease the people. He used Ju Su as the military supervisor and sent all the old and weak in Yan Yan's army back to the village to work as farmers, and stayed with strong spirits as reserve soldiers.

"Since I have captured Bazhong, I won't be in a hurry. The army has been following me south for several months, so I should also fix it. By the way, I'll find out the movements in all directions."

Zhang Xiu stretched out his hands and patted his knees lightly, and said to everyone with a smile.

"promise."

Everyone agreed with a smile.

............

Zhang Xiu ordered the village to go down the river to compete with Sun Jian.

Among them, Gan Ning and Zhou Yu went south to take the Jiangzhou warships and went east along the waterway. The farthest place to defend was Baidi City.

Zhao Yun was the second to lead his army to defend Badong.

The Wu team followed and led an army of 5,000 troops to guard Fuling.

Wu Yi finally led a army of 5,000 to Yan Pu, the governor of Yizhou, to guard Jiangzhou City.

These places are either important towns along the river or dangerous places.

After taking a boat, Gan Ning and Zhou Yu walked down the river, rode the wind and waves, and soon arrived at Baidi City.

Baidi City is a mountain city repaired on the islands in the middle of the river. It was built by Gongsun Shu back then. It is not suitable for large-scale troops to station. Although Ganning is a water thief, the troops and horses he supervised come from the north and are good at slew battles.

Zhou Yu was a navy army of five thousand people, but he did not dare to compete with Sun Jian. After discussing for a while, the two decided to abandon Baidi City in the river.

Set up a water village on the bank of the Yangtze River.

Zhou Yu was a little worried.

Just as night fell, two oil lamps were lit in the central army's tent. Zhou Yu sighed, put down the book in his hand, and a look of worry appeared on his handsome face.

Zhou Yu is a general of Confucianism. Not to mention the usual situation, even in the army, he will never put down the book and read books whenever he has time.

"General, do you have anything to worry about?" A personal soldier walked in from outside and asked Zhou Yu.

This man is a few years older than Zhou Yu, and his appearance and behavior are not a commoner's child.

His name is Zhou Fang, and he is Zhou Yu's fellow clan, but in terms of seniority, he is Zhou Yu's nephew. Because he is calm and reliable, he is arranged to assist Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu smiled and looked up at Zhou Fang, nodded and said, "But I can't hide it from you." At this point, Zhou Yu stood up from the seat, put his hands on his back and paced back, and said with a serious expression: "Gan Ning is a general, and he has the courage of thousands of men. But I am worried that his blood will rise and he will fight Sun Jianqiang. You must know that our little troops can only serve to block the enemy. If we fight head-on with Sun Jian's navy, there will be no life."

Although Zhou Yu is young, he has become a general.

Zhang Xiu was scattered in the north, and his infantry and cavalry were the dominant ones, but when he went to the south, he was not good at competing with Wu Yue and boats.

There were very few naval troops in the imperial court, and one of them guarded the Yellow River. The only one remaining was his five thousand naval troops, and it should not be as good as Sun Jian's naval troops.

Zhang Xiu also knew very well, so he ordered the generals to defend the city along the river, and a dangerous place. If he had the strength to fight against Sun Jian, he would.

DaKai ordered Gan Ning to be the commander, and the commander-in-chief came to this Baidi City and directly cut off the Yangtze River.

Zhou Yu naturally knew that Gan Ning was brave and good at fighting, but he had never had any contact with Gan Ning before, and was afraid that Gan Ning would be reckless.

After telling Zhou Fang the reason, Zhou Yu could no longer sit still and planned to go and talk to Gan Ning.

Just when Zhou Yu put on a coat and was about to make a big tent, a personal soldier walked in from outside and said, "General. General Gan is here."

"Come in quickly." Zhou Yu was a little surprised, but quickly calmed down and said.

"promise."

The personal soldiers responded and turned around and left Zhou Fang alone in the tent. Not long after, Gan Ning walked in quickly from outside. Jinfan thief, now a general of ten thousand people, with a strong aura.

"General Gan."

"General Zhou."

After they bowed to see each other, they sat down. Gan Ning spoke quickly, so he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zhou Yu, saying, "I'll ask General Zhou how to block Sun Jian."

Zhou Yu was surprised, and Zhou Fang bent down and bowed to Gan Ning, took the letter and handed it to Zhou Yu. The handwriting on the letter was very familiar.

The content is very simple: "Although the general is a general, he is actually a general. Although Zhou Yu is a general, he is actually a general."

After seeing it, Zhou Yu was not at all happy, but was a little frightened. He bowed and said to Gan Ning: "I am young and shallow, how can I be handsome?"

"General Zhou does not have to belittle himself. People say that the Grand Sima has the wisdom of knowing people, but Bo Le. Since he said that, General Zhou naturally has unique features. I am willing to obey the general's orders."

Zhou Yu still felt that it was inappropriate, but since Gan Ning said so, he had no choice but to accept it. He looked up and said to Gan Ning seriously: "Since that's the case, I will plan with the general."

"Please give me advice, General Zhou." Gan Ning bowed seriously and bowed.

He was not convinced at all. After being under Zhang Xiu's tent for a long time, his horizons have also broadened. Zhang Xiu's command has many talented people and talented people.

People like young, just like Fazheng are all plotters. Zhang Xiu actually believed in Zhou Yu so much, so Zhou Yu must have outstanding features.

Moreover, Gan Ning and Zhou Yu walked down the river together and saw that Zhou Yu had trained the navy very well, and he was convinced.

"Ming Gong asked us generals to defend the city, and they were in danger. The intention was to let Sun Jian go over and attack Sun Jian's logistics. Sun Jian knew of course. He would either really dare to lead his troops directly to the west, enter Bashu, get off the ship and fight in an infantry battle, and support Yan Yan in Langzhong. Or he would lead a large army to besiege our water camp, and then ask General Gan to lead his troops to repel Sun Jian."

Zhou Yu had been planning for a long time and made his debut after blurting out his words.

"Ruo." Gan Ning raised his head and raised his chest, and agreed with a loud promise.

He felt a little sad, thinking that Gan Ning was known as the [Jinfan Pirate], but he didn't expect to become an infantry general now.

"But there will be a third possibility. If Yan Yan is quickly captured by the Grand Sima, the Ming Duke's army can freely move on the land of Bazhong. Sun Jian would not dare to lead his troops westward, and could only wave flags and shout on the river."

When Zhou Yu said this, a little smile appeared on his face.

Although Zhang Xiu has no cavalry at present, the infantry has fought fiercely, and the army has more than 100,000. Even if Sun Jian is fierce, he has to consider whether he can defeat Zhang Xiu when he gets off the ship and fights in the infantry battle.

Moreover, after Zhang Xiu occupied Bazhong, Sun Jian entered Bashu, he could only help Liu Yan in Shu. At that time, Zhang Xiu would train the navy in Bazhong, and Sun Jian would have come in and could not get out.
