Chapter 244 242. Xiangyang reaction (please subscribe for a monthly ticket)

Author: nonsense and gossip

In Yuzhang County, the local wealthy families are powerful.

Hua Xin was regarded as a good governor by the local people because he did not disturb the people.

And the reason why he doesn't disturb the people is because... he can't disturb them.

He has no personal relationships or common interests with these wealthy families. All he can do is to save face and leave when his term is over...

Both Xiong and Luo made their fortunes hundreds of years ago and settled in Yuzhang.

When Liu Qi was the prefect, it was Huang Yueying who asked Gan Ning to take Chu Zhi's interests to clear the way, so the journey went smoothly without any obstacles. But if Jiangdong wanted to take Yuzhang... Jiangdong would have to come up with a bigger benefit than Chu Zhi.

something to come.

However, Zhou Yu was not unprepared if he dared to take Yuzhang this time.

He had already analyzed Yuzhang's information thoroughly, and these wealthy families... had to be appeased with benefits first.

It happened that Sun Quan had brought ten looms back to Jiangdong, so he ordered the baggage officer to bring one. Sometimes, he would give the opponent a name first.

So, after seeing this loom, several wealthy families were silent.

Among them, the one running for Chu An is called Qin... They all know what happened to Chu An.

It just so happens that this loom... is one of them.

"General Zhou, I wonder...where did this loom come from?"

Zhou Yu's expression remained unchanged, "It was developed by our skilled craftsmen in Jiangdong."

"I see."

Then, there was silence again. There were no fools in these families.

Zhou Yu didn't care. He only needed to temporarily appease this group of people. Once he captured the entire Yuzhang, the other party would have nothing to resist.

…

Liu Qi ran around all night, not daring to look back. He left the city, took no more than a hundred men and horses, and settled in a nearby village. The next day, he sent people to the nearby area to inquire about the direction of Liling.

When he learned that Gan and Ning's army was outside Nanchang City, Liu Qi almost vomited blood.

He grabbed the attendant from yesterday and stared at him bitterly for a while, but finally waved his hand and let the man go.

Gan Ning is fine, but Nanchang has been lost. This is a fact.

It is also true that he, the governor... abandoned the city and fled.

Feeling agitated and not knowing what to do, he wrote to Gan Ning asking what to do next.

…

When Gan Ning outside the city received the letter, he was also very angry. This guy... knows how to escape, but doesn't know how to organize people to resist? Is there such a person who can be a governor?

There are so many people in the Luo family and the Xiong family. As long as he sends someone to inform them, will these two families help?

Even if he goes on an expedition, he will not leave any troops behind!

But now, it is useless to think about these things.

He had to get Nanchang back first, so he had some concerns in his mind.

Now, he couldn't attack the city rashly, but he knew very well where the weakness was.

I wrote to Guan Yu and also to Xiangyang, sighing deeply in my heart.

Jiangdong's military strength was several times that of Yuzhang. In addition, Jiangdong attacked from several directions, which had already dispersed his troops. Now, even if he wanted to counterattack Nanchang, the troops at his disposal were not enough.

We still have to find Luo Zai and Xiong Yin first.

…

Late April.

News of the dramatic change in the situation in Yuzhang reached Xiangyang, which surprised Huang Yueying for a while.

At this time, Zhou Yu didn't even fight against Chai Sang?

But when I think about it, Yuzhang belongs to the land of Yangzhou. There are too many routes to attack on the Jiangdong side. It is normal that the Ganning side cannot defend it.

However, Liu Qi's performance... was indeed a bit worse. If there were no opportunities to make up for his mistakes in the future, he would not even think about Jingzhou's foundation.

State Shepherd's Mansion, study room.

Liu Biao was already anxious. According to the news from Yuzhang, he had to continue sending reinforcements. But where are the troops in Jingzhou now?

"Achu, what should happen to Yidu... Yuzhang? Do you want them to retreat?" So Liu Biao asked.

Kuai Yue was surprised.

Huang Yueying was equally surprised.

Why retreat? The main force of Yuzhang's army is still there, as well as Guan Yu and Gan Ning. They want to retreat... What do you think?

"My lord, don't be anxious." Kuai Yue spoke first to reassure him, "The news we received at this time must have been from eight or nine days ago. The situation at this time may have changed long ago."

"This...Nanchang has been captured by Jiangdong, what else can change?" Liu Biao was a little angry.

Liu Qi, the governor of Yuzhang, abandoned the city and ran away, which made him even more angry.

"Uncle, Brother Qi should be safe now, and the main force of the Yuzhang army is here. General Guan has also brought reinforcements from Changsha. Yuzhang is not an invincible army." Huang Yueying continued to reassure.

Liu Biao was slightly stunned, it seemed...that was the truth.

"And, the chief secretary is right. This news came from Yuzhang to Xiangyang at least eight or nine days ago. With this time... maybe General Gan and General Guan have already worked together to take back Nanchang." Huang Yueying continued.

.

Liu Biao pondered, and then looked at Huang Yueying, "What is the possibility of what A Chu just said?"

"It shouldn't be too small." Huang Yueying said seriously.

She knew very well that the aristocratic families in Yuzhang County took a lot of Chu paper from her every year.

Jiangdong took the Yuzhang, what could he give them?

Besides, Gan Ning is not a mediocre person. He has guarded Yuzhang for so long. If he really wants to take Nanchang back, he will have no choice.

All she could do was to trust Gan Ning, trust Guan Yu who came to support, and trust her previous arrangements.

Seeing Huang Yueying's determined expression, Liu Biao felt a little relieved, and he sighed again, "How come this Jiangdong bastard is so non-stop?"

Huang Yueying:......

Yuzhang originally belonged to Yangzhou.

Sun Ce had conquered all the counties and counties in Yangzhou, except Yuzhang and Chaisang. How could he let Chaisang and Yuzhang be controlled by Jingzhou?

"So, I just need to wait for a while." Huang Yueying did not answer, but just told Liu Biao that we would wait and see.

In this era, just sending a message would take ten days and a half, and you will be outside... It is better not to let Liu Biao blindly direct, otherwise... when Liu Biao's order is passed, Gan Ning may not

We have already taken Nanchang back. Wouldn’t that be embarrassing?

Liu Biao had no choice but to agree.

As for other discussions in Jingzhou...well, he couldn't control it.

Cao Cao... defeated Yuan Shao again. Liu Bei took back the area of ​​Ye County and moved back nearly 20,000 people. This has long been spread in Xiangyang.

Fortunately, the war on both sides was not entirely a failure, and Liu Biao was secretly glad in his heart.

"By the way, how is the rice growing?" After caring about the war, Liu Biao was now most concerned about winter wheat and summer rice.

By this time, the rice transplanting work has been completely completed.

"There are no major problems at the moment. The rice seedlings are growing well and are not much different from the ones sown in March." Kuai Yue answered.

"That's good." Liu Biao felt a little better, "You two still need to supervise Yang Shuo on this matter, especially A Chu. After all, you know this method best."

"Achu understands."

"If anything goes wrong during the process, Yang Shuo will be ordered to make corrections immediately."

"good."

Huang Yueying naturally responded to everything. Originally, she didn't need to deal with these matters, she only had to verbally respond.

But she really... couldn't trust Liu Biao anymore.

If she and Kuai Yue were not here, would Liu Biao have ordered Gan Ning and Guan Yu to withdraw their troops? If that were the case, what was the use of her previous arrangements?

Liu Biao's character flaws are becoming more and more obvious day by day. Do people really change so much as they age?

Huang Yueying and Kuai Yue left the Prefectural Mufu Mansion, and the two of them... looked at each other in silence.

Without saying anything more, they went back to their homes. Huang Yueying met people from Xinghan Trading Company outside the home again.
