The sound of the golden gongs is chiming in confusion and can even be heard here.

The farmers in the fields near Xiangyang had long ago abandoned their farm tools and fled without a trace. The suspension bridge on the trench at the city gate was raised high and the city gate was closed.

What caused such a big commotion in Xiangyang was naturally the sudden appearance of Cao Hong's troops. The main reason was that there was no warning from Xinye, and Cao's army appeared directly in Xiangyang.

Liu Biao deployed men and horses in Xinye, originally to give an early warning when Cao Jun came, and perhaps also to delay some time, but he did not expect that Cao Hong, with the cooperation of Cai's ships, would bypass the mountains.

He came out and rushed directly to the foot of Xiangyang City along the Bi River. The originally arranged defensive line of Xinye Fan City was just like that line of defense. It looked very beautiful, but when it was bypassed, it was like a shabby.

Of course, Cao Hong was able to do this with the cooperation of Cai Mao's navy.

Although it is impossible for Cao's cavalry at the front to directly attack the city, their banners are clear, their helmets are bright, their blades are as sharp as forests, and their menacing appearance is indeed impressive.

The cavalry of Cao's army are basically based on the hussars. Although they are not armed to the teeth like the serious hussars, they are fully armored, equipped with long spears, swords, long bows and arrows, and stand upright behind them.

The raised recognition flag was also fluttering in the wind, and the visual impact it brought to the people of Jingxiang was naturally far superior to the powerful armed forces of Wubao and the so-called clan thief troops they saw on weekdays.

To put it simply, it was a breath of krypton gold that rushed towards the face, making the African chiefs feel suffocated.

Gan Ning, who was on the city wall, snorted, but his expression did not change much. He was still able to dust off his clothes and muttered: "Finally here..."

After finishing muttering, Gan Ning turned to look at Wen Pin, "General Wen, how are you? The wait is finally here, what should be the next step?"

What does it mean to be here? Wenpin's chest was heaving, and he couldn't say anything for a moment. After a while, Wenpin said: "Just follow your orders!"

Smoke and dust floated in the distance, obviously a large group of people were following up.

"Cao Jun is coming! Cao Jun is coming!"

In May of the fourth year of Taixing.

Cao Cao's vanguard general Cao Hong arrived at Xiangyang.

……^(OO)^……

Chaisang, which is close to Jiangxia, is heavily guarded inside and outside the city gates. People inside and outside the city gates are rushing messages and horses, constantly passing on news from the front, and then passing on the latest instructions.

The officials responsible for transshipment in Jiangdong gathered here at this time to register and distribute the materials collected from various places, and then supported the various consumption of Jiangdong's troops heading north to Jingzhou. This is different from Cao Cao's cooperation with Cao Cao's troops.

, Sun Quan’s Jiangdong soldiers all brought their own food, and the people of Jingzhou did not welcome the Jiangdong people.

In other words, except for people from Koto, there are not many places that welcome people from Koto.

The status of Jiangdong and Xiliang is actually about the same.

Some natives of the Magic City in later generations discriminated against outsiders, opening their mouths to country people and shutting up to country bumpkins. In fact, during the Han Dynasty, the Jiangdong area was full of country bumpkins. Nanyang was the imperial hometown, and Jizhou was the place where culture flourished. In the eyes of these people, Jiangdong was

A hammer, uh, maybe I have to apologize to the hammer, saying that Jiangdong is worse than a hammer.

So now, many people in Jiangdong are paying attention to this war with their own visions and different purposes.

Rumors have spread that this idiot from the Sun family will check the latest military information in Jingzhou immediately, no matter whether he is eating or sleeping. He is more diligent than Zhou Gong in holding hair, and it is said that he has secretly prepared it.

They took out ceremonial utensils and other things, saying that after Liu Biao’s head was collected, they would immediately pay homage to Sun Jian and Sun Ce...

Of course, there are some trivial matters, but after the fall of Jiangling, the forces that originally hindered Sun Quan naturally relaxed a bit. Various forces fighting openly and secretly are actually paying attention to where this war will go. If Sun Quan

Being able to seize the entire Jingzhou in one fell swoop, and then have the possibility of conquering the world, it is impossible to say that even those who originally hated Sun Quan would swallow those vicious words lingering in their throats for a long time, put on a smile like a chrysanthemum, and strike with a stick to suit Sun Quan.

Come willingly.

Of course, what if it was the other way around...

The mixture of various factors brought the entire Jiangdong into a rare tranquility. In Chaisang City, the Jiangdong soldiers headed by Zhou Yu were also working hard and working at high speed, striving to expand and stabilize Jingzhou's victory.

Zhou Yu's move forward also means that Jiang Dong is starting to get serious.

The deaths of Sun Jian and Sun Ce were directly or indirectly related to Jingzhou, so Zhou Yu also hoped to avenge Sun Jian, especially Sun Ce.

Suddenly, there was the sound of horse hooves, and the relay troops came galloping from the ship. Pedestrians on the road quickly ducked and got out of the way. The cavalry did not stop at all, whizzing past like the wind, rolling up

The dust in the sky made pedestrians on the street cough and then spit.

Originally, the central streets of Chaisang were paved with stone slabs, but the problem was that the stone slabs could easily damage the hooves of galloping horses. Yes, the craftsmanship of horseshoes had not yet been passed to Jiangdong at this time. For Jiangdong, where war horses were originally extremely scarce, even though

It has become a daily behavior to reduce all damage to war horses whenever possible.

Although the information was delivered by water, it still had to be taken by land after landing. The cavalry who reported the news rushed straight to Zhou Yu's temporary government office, got off their horses, and under the leadership of the guards, arrived in front of the festival hall.
