Jingzhou was very prosperous, but it wasn't the same outside of Jingzhou. Especially after leaving Xiangyang, the smooth official roads suddenly disappeared and turned into a muddy path. This kind of path was very good for marching and fighting. Generally, soldiers and horses would build bridges when they meet water and open up a path when they meet a mountain.
That kind of road was difficult to walk on. Compared to that, the road outside of Xiangyang was very easy to walk on.
But Huang She didn't think so. He was originally the young master of the Huang family. He lived like a prince in the Huang family. Later on, he was a civil official in Xiangyang. It can be said that the young master of the Huang family rarely comes to this kind of place. 'Therefore, the young master of the Huang family was not satisfied with this kind of place.
"Mister Yi Ji, where are those two people? I have a lot of things to do every day. I don't have much time to accompany you on a sightseeing tour! "Huang She said to Yi Ji impatiently.
"Mister Yi Ji will be there soon, soon!" Although Yi Ji despised Huang She in his heart, but on the surface, he still had a smile on his face.
"Hmph! Mister Yi Ji said this half an hour ago. Now half an hour has passed. Is Mister Yi Ji playing with this military advisor? "Huang She became more and more dissatisfied with Yi Ji's words.
Yi Ji looked at the mountain over there. He was a little regretful now. He secretly complained in his heart. If he had known, he would not have let Shi Yuan live so far away. This Advisor Huang She did not have the slightest bit of patience! At first, it was to help them avoid the pursuit of the Cai Family and the Feng Family. Now it has become like this.
However, looking at the mountain over there, they had unknowingly walked more than half of the journey. The mountain over there was where Shi Yuan and the others were.
"We're here, we're almost there!" Yi Ji said to Huang She happily.
"Oh?" Huang She looked at the mountain over there and then looked at the road behind him. He had already walked here. If what Yi Ji said was over there, then Huang She should give Yi Ji face.
Huang She nodded and continued to walk with Yi Ji towards the mountain over there.
Half an hour passed quickly.
Although Huang She and the others were very tired, they still walked to the bottom of the mountain. As long as they climbed up the mountain, they would reach the place where the two people lived.
Huang She looked at the surrounding environment and couldn't help but nod his head. The environment is not bad, there are small bridges and flowing water.
"Shi Yuan, Shi Yuan!" Yi Ji ran towards a thatched hut halfway up the mountain and shouted.
Is this the place where the two masters live? "
Huang She couldn't help but nod. He was looking forward to the two masters. He hoped that they could help Huang She quickly deal with the rebels. This way, Huang She could show off his power. He didn't want to go back and beg his father.
"Mister Yi Ji!" Soon, a little boy came out.
"Zhang Yu?" This is the little boy's name. Yi Ji shouted to the little boy over there. "Where is your master? Quickly ask him to come out. Tell him that Jingzhou's military advisor Huang She is here. He wants to see your master and ask him to come out of the mountain! "
Although this was what Yi Ji said on the surface, he mouthed something else to the little boy over there.
However, the little boy didn't seem to see it. He looked at the several big boxes that came with Huang She. They were all filled with gifts.
A trace of greed appeared in the little boy's eyes, but it disappeared in a flash. "Mister Yi Ji, I'm sorry, our master is not here!" “
The little boy said to Yi Ji over there.
"Not here?" Yi Ji was a bit cold. "Where did he go?" Yi Ji asked subconsciously.
"Master went out for a trip!" The little boy called Zhang Yu said to Yi Ji over there.
"Went out for a trip? When will he come back? " Yi Ji frowned. Huang She turned his back to Zhang Yu and said. If someone didn't learn how to read lips, naturally they wouldn't understand. But for someone who has learned how to read lips, it's very simple. Coincidentally, Zhang Yu also learned how to read lips.
Yi Ji's words were five words, that is, Xuande Duke's great undertaking.
But the little boy didn't seem to see it. "I don't know. I'm just a little boy. Our master may come back in one or two days. At most, he may come back in ten days!" The little attendant over there said to the person over there.
Yi Ji didn't say anything, but Huang She, who was standing behind him, angrily snorted, "What arrogance! “
A bitter smile appeared on Yi Ji's face. This master was angry.
"Mr. Yi Ji, didn't you inform your friend before coming?" Huang She said coldly.
"This, this!" Yi Ji didn't know how to answer.
"Or, Mr. Yi Ji, did you inform him, but his friend left? Huang She asked sarcastically.
"Military Counselor, I!" Yi Ji still wanted to defend himself.
But Huang She stopped him and said to Yi Ji, "Mr. Yi Ji, you don't need to say more. Since the master of this place is not here, let's leave!" Huang She said to Yi Ji over there.
"But Military Counselor! These two people are great talents! They can break the cultivation! " “
Let's go! " Huang She waved his hand and let his men carry those gifts away. "No matter how talented they are, I, Huang She, will not use this version of fanatics. I don't dare to use it!" Huang She said coldly, "As for the cultivation, I have my own way!" Huang She was originally proud and arrogant. Now that he met another shameless person, Huang She was angry.
"Military Counselor, Military Counselor!" Yi Ji hurriedly called Huang She, but Huang She ignored him and left directly. No matter who walked so far, he was stood up and blocked outside the thatched cottage. Huang She was originally a bad-tempered person. Now he was even angrier.
"Your master, alas!" Yi Ji looked at Zhang Yu as he stomped his feet and left. "Military Counselor, wait for me, wait for me!" He chased after Huang She.
Seeing Yi Ji and others leave, Zhang Yu returned to the thatched cottage and said to an old scholar in a straw raincoat and hat in a small pond behind the cottage.
"Yes!" The old scholar nodded.
Zhang Yu looked at the scholar and wanted to say something, but he didn't. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't find the words.
It was the old scholar over there who saw through the little attendant's expression. He spoke to the little attendant, "Just say what you want to say!"
"Master, why don't you go and see Huang She?" Zhang Yu heard the old scholar's words and couldn't help but ask. Huang She was the current Military Counselor of Jingzhou.
This little errand boy is not a person who hasn't seen the world, but he was also stunned by the gifts brought by Huang She.
The little errand boy also knew about this Huang She because he wanted to go down the mountain and buy some rice, some salt and other things in the city.
One had to know that there were some vegetables and wild game on the mountain, but there wasn't any salt and the like.
People couldn't live without salt. Therefore, Zhang Yu also knew that the new Military Counselor was Huang She.
The old scholar did not answer. Another handsome young man beside him also opened his mouth. However, the words that came out of his mouth sounded like a woman's, "That's right, Mister Shiyuan. Yi Ji is here, why don't you go and see him?" This will help Big Brother's great cause! " “
Zhang Yu still didn't answer. Suddenly, his fishing rod moved. The old scholar pulled up the fishing rod in his hand and laughed loudly, "The fish took the bait!" “
"Zhang Yu, take this fish. It can be stewed in the evening!" As he spoke, he threw a huge freshwater fish into the fish basket on the other side and handed the basket to Zhang Yu, leaving the two people who didn't understand what was going on.
"Humph!" Huang She returned to Xiangyang. Soon, the generals of the Huang family came to greet him. The attack of the Xiucheng army couldn't be hidden.
"Military Counselor, Military Counselor!" Yi Ji caught up with Huang She. He wanted to persuade Huang She, but Huang She didn't listen at all.
"Pass down my order. Send 50,000 troops to Jiangling. I want to take Xiucheng's head!" Huang She said to his subordinates.
"Ah ah ah ah!" The Huang Family's generals on the side were stunned. "Military Advisor, we only have a total of 50,000 elites. If we bring all of them out, who will guard the city?!"
It turned out that it was a waste for Huang Zu to send 50,000 soldiers to guard a mere salt pond.
But now, they had to guard several counties in Jingzhou, and they were having trouble making ends meet.
"Expand the army, expand the army!" Do you need me to call you for this kind of thing? "Huang She yelled at the Huang family's guards.
"Military Counselor, there aren't many people in Xiangyang who are willing to join the army!" The generals of the Huang family said bitterly.
Because of the war in Jingzhou these years, they first fought against Sun Ce of Jiangdong and then fought against Liu Mang of Yangzhou. It can be said that the scale of the Jingzhou army has expanded to 300,000 soldiers. That is 300,000 elite soldiers.
Then, Liu Pan suggested that they expand the army by 150,000 soldiers. This didn't just cost money, it also cost manpower.
Those poor people had already been recruited. Those who were left were rich. Why would they still want to join the army when they had money? That was why it was difficult to recruit soldiers now.
"Are you all stupid?" Huang She was still waiting there. "If you don't have soldiers, then recruit them! Anyone who is over 15 years old and under 50 years old will be recruited! Every city and every county must give me at least 2,000 soldiers. If they can't reach that amount, then those county magistrates will be beheaded! "Huang She shouted at his subordinates.
"Yes!" Since Huang She had given them such a method, they just had to carry it out.
"Military Counselor, this method is like drinking poison to quench thirst. It can't be used!" Yi Ji hurried forward to dissuade Huang She. Of course, he wasn't thinking about Huang She. He was thinking about leaving Jingzhou to Lord Xuande. If Huang She squandered it away, what would he do?
"Hmph, do you have a way to stop the attack of the Xiu Cheng Army?" Huang She asked sarcastically.
"As long as Military Counselor goes to the mountain range and calls those two capable people out, the Xiu Cheng Army will definitely be defeated!" Yi Ji continued.
"Alright, that's enough!" Huang She was angry. It would have been better if Yi Ji didn't say that. Huang She was furious. "Yi Ji, haven't you embarrassed yourself enough? Do you want to be chased out again? Or do you want to kiss someone's cold ass? Yi Ji, you are so magnanimous. I, Huang She, can't do that! "
"But!"
"Alright, that's enough! Yi Ji, I think you must be tired. Let's stop here for today. Go back and rest. This Military Counselor is also tired! "Huang She said to Yi Ji.
Yi Ji helplessly looked at Huang She and could only helplessly shake his head. "Military Counselor, Yi Ji will take his leave!" Yi Ji immediately walked towards the door.
"Hmph!" Huang She looked at Yi Ji's departing back and vented his dissatisfaction.
"Men!" Huang She shouted to the people beside him. "Pass down the order. The army is ready to set out!"
In the end, Huang She still sent out the army. Of course, he didn't send out all the elites. 30,000 elite Huang Family soldiers and 50,000 able-bodied men. A total of 80,000 soldiers and horses gathered in Jiangling. They faced off against Xiu Cheng's army of 100,000.
Very quickly, both sides found out the situation and started to kill each other.
180,000 soldiers started to kill each other in Jiangling.
Although Huang She's soldiers were few, they were 30,000 elite Huang Family soldiers. Xiu Cheng's soldiers were many, but they didn't have anyone who could take charge. Slowly, the battle became a protracted battle.
However, Huang She's troops were too many new recruits. Xiu Cheng seized the opportunity and defeated them outside of Jiangling. The 50,000 new recruits immediately scattered and fled. In the end, only 20,000 people were left. The 30,000 elite Huang Family troops also didn't fare any better.
In the end, less than 5,000 people returned. Suddenly, the people in Jingzhou started to panic.
In Nanyang County, after receiving Huang Zu's gift and letter, they were prepared to form an alliance with Huang She. But now, their attitude became ambiguous. Although he controlled the young master Liu Zong, the Cai Clan was not willing to share the spoils with others. If the Xiu Clan's army worked hard and defeated Huang She, then it would be even better. The Cai Clan and the Lao Clan could send troops to attack Xiangyang. As long as they controlled the young master Liu Zong, then they would not need to fear the Xiu Clan. After all, Jingzhou was still the world of aristocratic families, and the Cai Clan and the Lao Clan were representatives of aristocratic families.
If the aristocratic families of Jingzhou were to use their power well, it would be a terrifying thing.
So now, Huang She was panicking. He was even prepared to go to his father and ask him to clean up his mess.
At this time, Yi Ji appeared. "Military Advisor, Yi Ji has a plan to defeat Xiu Cheng!"
"Say it, say it!" Huang She hurriedly shouted.
"Outside Xiangyang, on Jingshan Mountain, there are two experts!"
"Them?" Huang She was puzzled.
"Yi Ji is willing to guarantee with my life that these two experts will help you break Xiu Cheng!"
"Good, good, good! I will go to Xiangyang with you to Jingshan Mountain! " "Huang She is so desperate that he is turning to any doctor he can find.
