Although Gan Ning said harsh words, it was just a verbal statement. If the Jiangdong Army dared to break into the Jiangxia waters, it would be considered a declaration of war. In fact, he still implemented the terms of the alliance, and the upper limit of no more than 10,000 troops would be allowed to transit.

Of course, whether it exceeds 10,000 must be verified by the Jingzhou Navy. On the river surface of Chaisang, the Jiangdong Navy warships were almost counted one by one before they sailed to Changsha County under the escort of the Jingzhou Navy warships.

This was time-consuming and labor-intensive. The four warships, Lu Meng, led a 10,000 army, took ten days to finally arrive in Changsha County. At this time, Lu Xun in Nanchang had been waiting for half a month. The long delay caused the Jiangdong Army to have a sluggish morale and a weak military morale. Then the more serious consequences were quietly revealed.

About inside and outside the south of Nanchang County, a 20,000 Jiangdong Army was marching westward rapidly. This was the 20,000 people who went to Changsha County by Lu after Sun Quan was forced to adopt the first plan, led by Generals Jiang Qin and Chen Wu.

Although there are factions in the army, they are not as clear as officials. Jiang Qin belongs to the northern sect, while Chen Wu is the Lujiang sect, but the two get along well with each other and have no factional gaps. The two of them rushed from Lu to Changsha County to join Lu Meng's army on the order of Sun Quan.

Traveling from the west of the land is not as easy as going water. The road is difficult and you have to cross the ridge. Fortunately, there is no difficulty in checking the Jingzhou Army, so they don’t have to spend ten days to reach Changsha County in five days.

The army marched lightly and had no baggage. The soldiers only carried the most basic equipment, a spear and a battle knife. They did not wear heavy armor, but were wearing soft military uniforms, which was easy to climb mountains and wade. In addition, each soldier carried dry food for five or six days, traveling day and night, advancing towards Changsha County along the rugged and bumpy official road.

In the evening of that day, the army had marched for Yuli and came to Yuxian. The army entered the county town and then continued to march after resting for a night. The 20,000 troops arrived. The small county town was frightened and the vast majority of the county people fled into the mountains. Only dozens of elderly people refused to leave and stayed in the county town. The Jiangdong army moved directly into the house and rested and ate dry food. Many soldiers were tired and fell to the ground and fell asleep.

In the county yamen, Yu County Magistrate had already set up a banquet and invited Jiang Qin and Chen Wu to drink together.

The county magistrate’s surname is Zhang, and his most worried was the issue of military discipline, so he repeatedly emphasized that the county is a poor county with only a few thousand people, and the people are in poverty and lack money, and there is no oil or water. At most, some wild game can be prepared for the army to take away.

Jiang Qin understood his concerns. His army had moved into the house. He was afraid that the army would steal people's wealth. This was definitely inevitable. However, to be nice, he waved his hand and smiled: "Mr. Zhang, don't worry, they are all their own people. We will not rob the property of the people. We will constrain military discipline, come safely, leave safely, and not destroy the house."

The magistrate Zhang was overjoyed and toasted the two of them for a few glasses of wine. He smiled and said, "Do you want me to find two beautiful women to accompany the two generals?"

Jiang Qin and Chen Wu looked at each other. Although they were a little moved, Chen Wu shook his head and said, "Thank you for your good intentions in County Magistrate Zhang. However, the military discipline is strict. Women are not allowed to enter the camp during the march. Once the Marquis of Wu knows, we cannot afford to be guilty."

At this time, Jiang Qin asked again: "I don't know how far Xinwu County is from here, and whether there is an official road that can lead to the direct access to it."

The magistrate Zhang thought for a while and said, "Xinwu County is about the north, and along the Yushui outside the city, you can go directly to Xinwu County. Generally, merchants come to us from Nanchang, and then hire a ship to go south. The two counties are still close. Therefore, there is a local saying, "The bride of Yu County, Wu County, Lang, which means that Xinwu County is richer, and women in Yu County are willing to marry there."

"I see"

Jiang Qin became a little worried and gave Chen Wu a wink. Chen Wu understood and stood up and said, "I'll go back to the military camp first, two of you drink slowly."

Chen Wu wanted to rush back to the military camp to strengthen defense, and he was also worried that they were light soldiers and had insufficient soldiers and armor. Once they encountered the Jiaozhou army, they would probably have a lot of trouble.

As night gradually fell, darkness enveloped the small town of Yuxian. Ten miles north of the county, a dark army appeared, with about 10,000 people. It was the elite of the Jiaozhou army led by General Zhang Fei. He came to intercept the Jiangdong army under the order of Zhuge Liang. They arrived half a day earlier than the Jiangdong army, and did not attack the city immediately, but patiently waited for the opportunity.

When Zhang Fei was about to leave, Zhuge Liang gave him two tips and ordered him to open the first tip after arriving in Yu County. The first tip was to wait. The Jiangdong Army was moving fast, and there was no city. Yu County was the first county they encountered. The Jiangdong Army would definitely spend the night rest in Yu County, and Zhang Fei could wait until the update to act.

Time gradually came to two o'clock. At this time, a dark shadow quietly climbed over the wall and ran north along the river. In the half-light and half-dark moonlight, this person was County Magistrate Zhang. As soon as he ran, he soon encountered the patrol sent by Zhang Fei. County Magistrate Zhang hurriedly said: "I have important information to report to General Zhang."

This was Zhuge Liang's second tip, that is, his inner support, who controlled the wife and children of Zhang County Magistrate Zhang and forced him to serve the Jiaozhou Army. The patrolman led Zhang County Magistrate to gallop north and soon arrived at the Jiaozhou Army's camp and found Zhang Fei.

"Report to General Zhang, I have invited two Jiangdong Army chief generals as the general's order. Chen Wu did not drink much, but Jiang Qin has been drunk by his humble position. Now the county yamen is protected by his personal soldiers and cannot be killed."

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "You can leave me a city gate."

County Magistrate Zhang said nervously: "Actually, Yuxian's city is dilapidated, so it doesn't matter whether it has a city gate or not. Now both the east and west gates are controlled by the Jiangdong Army, but the city wall in the southeast corner has collapsed. It is just supported by some wood and can be easily demolished. In addition, the people have been evacuated according to the general's instructions, and those things have been hidden in the city."

Zhang Fei smiled happily and said, "No, you did a good job."

At this time, the county magistrate Zhang asked again: "The humble wife and daughter have been done as General Zhang's instructions."

"Don't worry, I, Zhang Fei, are a trustworthy person. Your wife and daughter are in Xinwu County. I will send someone to send you there. Yu County will be successful, and the military advisor will reward you more."

"Thank you, General Zhang"

Zhang Fei sent someone to see off the magistrate Zhang, and then the opponent ordered: "Go away"

Zhang Fei led a 10,000 troops to drive towards Yuxian.

...........

It was the second time Chen Wu came to Jiang Qin's room. He heard that Jiang Qin was drunk, which made him both angry and worried. Jiang Qin was a little greedy. This was a thing that everyone in the army knew about, but this was the first time Jiang Qin was drunk during the expedition. Although this should not be Jiang Qin's style, the facts were here. When he walked outside the door, he heard snoring in the room. Several personal soldiers smiled bitterly and shook their heads, "General Chen, we can't wake him up."

Chen Wu sighed helplessly and said to his personal soldiers: "When General Jiang wakes up a little, tell me immediately, or ask him to come to me, I have important things to discuss with him."

The reason why Chen Wu was anxious to discuss with Jiang Qin was because a soldier found a lot of brimstone that caused fire when he was at a house in a house, which aroused Chen Wu's alertness and rushed to discuss with Jiang Qin. Unexpectedly, Jiang Qin was drunk and unconscious. Chen Wu had no choice but to rush to the house where the sulfur was discovered.

Because only one household found sulfur, it cannot be said that someone was planning to be a illegitimate plan. At this time, a soldier rushed to report: "Report to General Chen, we cannot find the magistrate of Zhang County, and there is no one in the county yamen."

Chen Wu frowned, and the county magistrate disappeared for no reason. What was strange about it? He didn't even think about it, and immediately said to the left and right orders: "Check me a comprehensive investigation, check it in detail, and report any doubts to me."

Several patrol soldiers agreed and scattered to investigate the situation. At this moment, a patrol general rushed to report, "General Chen, something is wrong in the southeast corner of the city wall."

Chen Wu hurriedly followed the guard to the southeast corner. More than one soldier was demolishing the city wall here. Chen Wu then found that there was no city wall here, all of them were messy wood. The two soldiers screamed inside. The guard explained: "Our team of patrol brothers passed by here, but the two brothers fell out of the air and fell down. Only then did we find that there was empty inside, all of them were wood."

Chen Wu looked solemn. He stepped forward and looked carefully at the wooden city wall. It was about one meter long and the filled wood was ragged. It could be seen that it was a bit old. It was smashed with a huge tree and it broke. At this time, the soldiers rescued the two soldiers and fell to the point of blood.

"General, what should I do here?" the guard asked in a low voice.

Chen Wu looked at the hour and it was almost time to update. They were about to get up at the fifth update and were about to set off. Now there was no need to repair it. Chen Wu immediately ordered: "Fill all the wood back."

As soon as he finished speaking, a shrill scream suddenly came from the top of the city. A soldier fell heavily from the top of the city, and an arrow was inserted in his chest. Then, several more soldiers were caught in arrows and fell from the top of the city. The sudden change surprised Chen Wu.

He immediately reacted and shouted: "If there is any enemy situation, go and call the police."

Dozens of soldiers turned around and ran into the city, shouting: "If there is an enemy, get up quickly."

At this moment, a dull collision sound came from the city wall, and broken wood flew, and a big hole appeared in the broken wooden wall. Through the big hole, you could vaguely see the dark shadows outside, and I don’t know how many enemy troops were.

Chen Wu was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He turned around and ran towards his house. His horse and spear were all over there. At this time, a soldier ran towards him and said anxiously: "General Chen, we have found sulfur and firewood in many houses, and there are fire-catching objects everywhere."

Chen Wu no longer had the heart to listen to these reports, and he said anxiously: "Don't worry about these things, let the brothers leave the county town immediately, hurry up."

After running for a few steps, Chen Wu turned around and shouted: "Now go find General Jiang and ask his personal soldiers to carry General Jiang out of the city. The enemy is coming, so go now."

Chen Wu ran wildly, ran away from his residence, carried his gun and turned over to his horse, and shouted to his personal soldiers: "Follow me quickly."

As soon as he rushed to the street, a soldier shouted in horror: "It's a fire."

Chen Wu then found that the city wall was full of black troops. They used rockets to shoot arrows into the city. Many houses in the city had caught fire, thick smoke was everywhere, and the fire spread rapidly and soon became connected. At this time, the outside of the city was in chaos, and the crying of soldiers were everywhere.
