Chapter 161 Inducement

,,,,,,,,,,,,

From Chaisang to Yangxin County, you can take water or land. Go a little further and walk west along the Yangtze River. Enter a small tributary of Fushui River at the mouth of Fushui River. Passing through Xiazhi County, you can reach Yangxin County by repeatedly traveling west. Ganning will help Chaisang City to go to water.

Land is a straight line, heading west, crossing the hilly mountains, about 10 or 50 miles, and finally you can reach Yangxin County.

Since Yangxin County is located at the junction of Jiangxia Mountain and the plain, with a large population and bandits, although Zhang Wu and Chen Sun were wiped out by Liu Bei last year, there were still bandits in Yangxin County, with more than a thousand people, robbing their families and disturbing Jiangxia.

Huang Zu also sent troops to suppress the bandits repeatedly, but it was not successful. Until Ganning stationed in Yangxin County, this bandit was frightened by Ganning's reputation and restrained a lot. This time, Liu Jing sent Liao Hua to replace Ganning to guard Yangxin County, and in large part he hoped to use Liao Hua's old identity as the Left King of Jiangxia to recruit this bandit.

But Liu Jing's plan did not seem to be smooth. A few days ago, Liao Hua sent letters of help, failed to suppress the bandits and begged Chaisang for rescue.

At night, an army of two thousand people left Chaisang City and marched west quickly. At the same time, Gan Ning, who was stationed in Longwan City, also led several of his subordinates to leave Longwan City and headed west from the water.

Although these two armies left secretly, they were still discovered by those who were interested.

Zhou Mansion, Zhou Xin walked in a hurry, ran to the backyard, pushed open the door of Zhou Gu's study and shouted anxiously: "Head of the family, they are leaving."

Zhou Gu was reading a book under the lamp. When he saw his brother being surprised and happy, he was sweating profusely, he said dissatisfiedly: "What are you worried about? You can't be more steady when you are so old."

Seeing that his brother was angry, Zhou Xin was so scared that he quickly lowered his head and did not dare to say anything. Zhou Gu glared at him fiercely, and then he said slowly: "Now tell me what happened, who has left?"

"The head of the family, the Chaisang defenders set out, just now."

Zhou Gu's eyes lit up. This was the news he had been waiting for for a long time. He still asked without saying a word: "How do you leave?"

"I have found out that there are a total of two thousand people, led by Liu Jing himself, on the excuse of being a marching training, saying that night was covered, leaving Chaisang and heading west. Moreover, Ganning's fleet also left Longwan City almost at the same time and went west from the water. The head of the family, where can there be training marches at night, there must be something strange about it."

Zhou Gu nodded. Of course, training marches was just an excuse. Even the Ganning army in Longwan City was dispatched. This must be to help Yangxin County. This will be at least a journey back and forth to Yangxin County. In addition, the time to suppress the bandits took time, it would take seven or eight days to disappear. This is simply a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

But Zhou Gu calmly asked again: "Then who will manage the county garrison now?"

"There should be five people, and I heard that they were led by Liu Hu."

Zhou Gu walked a few steps behind his back, and considered the causes and consequences. He sorted out all the details one by one, but found no flaws. Then he wrote a letter at his desk and handed it to Zhou Xin and said, "You can send someone in Wuchang County immediately and hand it over to the county magistrate. At this time, 100,000 yuan is in a hurry, so set off now."

"Isn't the county magistrate in Xiakou?"

"No, they are all in Wuchang now."

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

The night was getting deeper and late, and it was already time to go. The city was silent and dark, with only the city gates, and dim lanterns hung at the gates of the military camp and the hostel. At this time, the guards of the South City Gate had been replaced, and they had dozens of Liu Jing's confidants. At this time, a soldier ran from a distance and whispered to the guard general: "There is no movement in the Zhou family, and there is no one around."

The defender nodded and waved his hand, "open the city"

The city gate creaked and opened, and only a large group of soldiers trotted in from outside the city. There were a thousand people. It was Wei Yan, the general. He rode a horse and carried a knife, and the four hooves of the war horse wrapped in thick linen. Wei Yan waved his hand and whispered: "So quickly, no noise."

The soldiers ran faster, and there was a rustling sound. They ran for only five yards and went directly into the South Military Camp at the schoolyard. The gate of the military camp was closed immediately and the city gate was closed. From opening the city to closing the city, everything returned to its original state in less than a quarter of an hour, as if nothing had happened.

..

At this time, he had led an army of 10,000 from Xiakou to Wuchang County. He was preparing for his troops and waiting for the news about Zhougu in Chaisang. Yangxin County was another important territory in addition to Chaisang. How could Liu Jing let the bandits occupy it?

Huang Zu knew that Liu Jing would definitely send reinforcements, but the route of reinforcements was sent to him was questionable.

On the Wuchang Wharf, Huang Zu stared at dozens of warships. His round pumpkin face turned into bitter gourd, his small eyes flashed with rage, his fists were clenched and loosened, loosened and tightened, and his knuckles turned white. He received a reply from Pengze Jiangdong Camp this morning, and the Jiangdong Army did not arrest his son Huang Yong.

This confirmed his speculation that his son Huang Yong might have died at the hands of Liu Jing. It was precisely because Liu Biao did not pursue Huang Yong's injury to Liu Cong. The pain of loss spread in Huang Zu's heart. He completely forgot that Huang Yong wanted to kill people first. He didn't care about these things. He only cared about his son. If the son died, how should he avenge him?

At this time, he not only felt hatred for Liu Jing, but also for killing him. "Liu Jing, I swear to tear you apart," Huang Zu murmured at the Yangtze River.

Suddenly, footsteps came from behind, and Chang Huangshe walked over hurriedly with the county magistrate Zhou Geng. Zhou Geng was the younger brother of Chaisang Zhou Gu. He was about 45 or 46 years old. He looked very similar to Zhou Gu, but he was strong and did not look sick like Zhou Gu.

Zhou Bing held a letter in his hand, which was written by his brother Zhou Gu, who told them about his important information.

"Father, Liu Jing has sent troops." Huang She said anxiously when he entered the door.

Huang Zu suddenly turned around, staring at Huang Sho with bloody eyes, "Tell me the specific situation"

Zhou Bing quickly presented the letter to Huang Zu. Huang Zu's blood-red eyes made him slightly scared. After giving the letter, he quickly stood aside.
