    "Attack Xiakou first."

    This time, Tian Feng did not mince words or confuse things, he answered simply.

    "Reason?" Yan Liang responded simply.

    "The thieves Liu Biao is guarding are not a real trouble, but the Sun family in Jiangdong is the big trouble. Only by capturing Xiakou can the Sun family be blocked out of Jingzhou. Otherwise, if the Jiangdong navy enters Jingzhou, there will be endless troubles."

    There will be endless troubles, endless troubles

    Yan Liang pondered these four words, and those deeply buried memories were unearthed again in his mind.

    In the past, Liu Biao had Huang Zu guarding Jiangxia. Therefore, although the Sun family was attacked many times, it never threatened the north-south core area from Xiangyang to Jiangling.

    As for Liu Bei, although he occupied most of Jingzhou including Jiangling after the Battle of Chibi, because Jiangxia County where Xiakou was located fell into the hands of Sun Quan, Jingzhou was always under the threat of Sun Quan.

    When Guan Yu lost Jingzhou, Soochow's naval forces marched directly to Jiangling City without any resistance.

    The reason is simply that there is no buffer zone in Jiangxia.

    Although Jiangxia is not the core area of ??Jingzhou, it is the key to blocking Sun Quan's westward advance.

    As Yan Liang was thinking, his eyebrows gradually condensed, and a certain look of perseverance gradually emerged in his eyebrows.

    Tian Feng could feel that his new master seemed to have been moved by his words and was making some kind of decision.

    However, within the determination, there is a hint of worry.

    After pondering for a long time, Yan Liang nodded slightly: "What you said is absolutely true. The Sun family is the biggest problem in Jingzhou. If Xiakou cannot be captured, both Xiangyang and Jiangling will be under the threat of the Sun family's troops. The general will have to use most of his troops  If we stay in these two cities, how can we spare the troops and energy to expand our territory?"

    Seeing that Yan Liang confirmed his judgment, Tian Feng couldn't help but look pleased.

    At this time, Yan Liang said again: "But as I said before, Huang Zu's navy is the elite soldier of Jiangxia. If we don't spend a few years to build up the navy, it will be difficult to take Jiangxia."

    Tian Feng stroked his beard and smiled.  Balsam pear had a bit of pride on his face.

    Yan Liang has a delicate mind and has insight into his thoughts, and immediately added: "Of course. Attacking by force will not succeed, only by outsmarting him. If sir has a clever plan, that's another matter."

    As soon as these words came out, Tian Feng burst out laughing.

    That confident laughter was obviously because Yan Liang hit his mark.

    "Having been under house arrest for so long, has this old man even figured out some clever tricks?"

    Yan Liangliang was secretly happy, but he was not in a hurry to show it. He just sipped the wine and pretended not to notice.

    Tian Feng couldn¡¯t wait for Yan Liang¡¯s inquiry.  He had no choice but to take the initiative and said: "I'll be honest with you, my lord. I do have a plan. I'm allowed to help my lord."

    I knew that this old man really had a plan.

    "Sir, if you have any clever ideas, I would like to hear the details." Yan Liang then showed his interest.

    Tian Feng then moved his seat closer.  Fu Er whispered to Yan Liang.

    As he listened, a hint of secrecy emerged from the corner of Yan Liang's mouth, and he sneered, "Mr. Yuan Hao, I didn't expect that you are in Hebei, but you know Jingzhou well. It's really not easy to come up with such a dirty trick."  "

    "Although I am not talented, I do have some opinions on the general trend of the world. It is a pity that Yuan Benchu ??is unwilling to listen, so I have to dedicate it to the heroic lord."

    With these words of Tian Feng, he not only praised himself, but also praised Yan Liang.

    The two masters and ministers looked at each other, understood, and couldn't help laughing.

    ? ######

    Three days later.

    Jiangxia County, Xiakou City.

    On the top of the city, the middle-aged general wearing golden armor was staring ahead with his hands behind his back, eyes like lightning.

    To the south of the city, the Yangtze River rolls past the city with its vast mist like a jade belt.

    On the river, more than 300 warships of various types were arranged in neat formations, practicing offense and defense on the river.

    There are big "yellow" flags on each side, flying in the river wind, one wave after another, as vast as a raging wave.

    Looking at the high-spirited and orderly fleet in front of him, a somewhat confident sneer appeared on Huang Zu's slightly weathered face.

    Not long ago, under his command, the elite Jiangxia naval forces repelled wave after wave of fierce attacks from the Jiangdong enemy forces.

    The towering Xiakou City is still impregnable.

    Jiangxia County, in the hands of Huang Zu, will always be the strongest line of defense in Jingzhou.

    "Cai Mao, you will finallyHe is still a waste. If I were here in Xiangyang City, how could I tolerate Yan Liang's arrogance?  "

    Huang Zu¡¯s proud face gradually revealed a hint of sarcasm.

    The war in Jiangxia has been over for some time. The large-scale drills on the river for several days are not so much military training as a military deterrent.

    Huang Zu wanted to use this arrogant drill to demonstrate to Yan Liang in Xiangyang, so that he would be afraid and not dare to covet Jiang Xia.

    Footsteps sounded, and a young general climbed to the top of the city. It was Huang She, the son of Huang Zu.

    "Father, someone is coming from Xiangyang." Huang She's expression was slightly excited.

    Xiangyang?  Isn't that already Yan Liang's territory?

    Huang Zu frowned and asked without turning his head, "Who is he?"

    "He is Huang Chengyan's servant. He came here to say hello to my father."

    Huang Zu¡¯s eyes flashed with a little surprise.

    As the head of the Huang family, Huang Zu relied on his proud military exploits to make the Huang family become the third largest family in Jingxiang after Kuai Cai.

    As for my brother from the Shu branch, he only knows how to be mediocre and elegant all day long, hanging out with idle people in the mountains and fields like Pang Degong who likes leisurely things and loses his mind.

    It¡¯s just that he doesn¡¯t want to make progress. Huang Chengyan actually married his daughter to a humble warrior like Yan Liang. This is simply a disgrace to the Huang family.

    What¡¯s even more annoying is that that damn warrior turned Jingzhou upside down, which naturally made Huang Zu, the head of the Huang family, feel very embarrassed.

    "Huang Chengyan, a self-proclaimed noble guy, doesn't disdain to have anything to do with me. Why does he send someone to say hello now?"

    Huang Zu¡¯s tone was full of disdain.

    "The people sent by Huang Chengyan not only came to say hello, but also brought a large number of generous gifts. They also claimed that they were entrusted by Yan Liang to convey their respect to the father. There is also a handwritten letter from Yan Liang."

    Huang She said and handed over a letter.

    Hearing the word "Yan Liang", Huang Zu became even more suspicious.

    Huang She smiled and said, "Although Yan Liang took Xiangyang, my father's commander repulsed Jiangdong's army and his reputation was at its peak. In recent days, he has shown off his power and made a move to go north to attack Xiangyang. I thought that Yan Liang was probably afraid of his father's commander."  Wei, that¡¯s why I sent someone here to show my kindness.¡±

    Hearing his son's words, Huang Zu's suspicion gradually faded a bit, and he nodded slightly, his expression full of pride.

    When Huang Zu opened the silk letter and read it with his own eyes, the pride on his face became even heavier.

    As Huang She guessed, this was indeed a letter of goodwill, and one look at the crude handwriting revealed that it was written by Yan Liang himself.

    In the letter, Yan Liang, as a junior, expressed respect for Huang Zu, claiming that the capture of Xiangyang was just to gain a foothold and was a last resort. From now on, he and Liu Biao would not interfere with each other and guard their borders. He hoped that Huang Zu could  He understood and conveyed Yan Liang's goodwill to Liu Biao.

    "Humph, this Yan Liang, after all, he still has some self-awareness." Huang Zu snorted coldly and handed the letter to his son.

    Huang She looked at it once and said with a sneer: "This Yan Liang is really afraid of his father's reputation. He and Cai Mao can show off his power in front of others, but he loses his confidence when he meets his father."

    After a pause, Huang She pointed at the letter again and said mockingly: "Look, Commander-in-Chief, this is just an ugly calligraphy. There are also some mistakes and omissions in it. It's really funny."

    "Huh, he's just a rough guy, but he can have some knowledge." Huang Zu stood with his hands behind his hands, with disdain on his face.

    Although Grandfather Huang is a military general, he comes from a noble family. In addition to practicing martial arts, it is also necessary to cultivate literature.

    Although the knowledge and accomplishments of his father and son are not as good as those of real celebrities like Huang Chengyan, they are still more than enough to look down upon a "vulgar and ignorant" warrior like Yan Liang.

    Receiving this letter of goodwill from Yan Liang, Huang Zu's goal had been achieved, so he ordered the drill to be concluded quickly and all ships to return to the stronghold for rest.

    When we returned to the prefect¡¯s mansion, it was already sunset.

    Huang Zu had dinner, read several volumes of military books, and then planned to go to bed and rest.

    Just when he had this thought, the servant suddenly came to report, saying that he was not driving Kuai Yue to come to see him.

    "It's so late, what's he doing here?" Huang Zu muttered a few words, looked displeased, but waved his hand and said, "Please don't drive Kuai to meet us in the hall."

    Jiangxia was originally the territory of the Huang family. Liu Biao expressed his trust and entrusted Huang Zu with full responsibility for the military and political power of Jiangxia.

    But when the Sun clan from Jiangdong came to attack, Liu Biao was afraid that Jiangxia would suffer losses, so he sent Kuai Yueyun as a counselor to assist Huang Zu in fending off the enemy.

    After Kuai Yue came to Jiangxia, he did come up with some strategies, which played a significant role in repelling the Jiangdong Army.? Function.

    It was only to Huang Zu's displeasure that Sun had withdrawn his troops, but Liu Biao showed no sign of sending Kuai Yue back. Instead, he ordered Kuai Yue to assist Huang Zu in handling the taxation issue in Jiangxia County.

    In order to assist, in fact, Huang Zu was given some of his power, which made Huang Zu, who was used to holding power alone, a little unhappy.

    While thinking, Kuai Yue entered with a smile.

    Huang Zu immediately calmed down his displeasure and put on a smile on his face. When the two of them met each other, they had their own set of polite greetings.

    After being polite, Kuai Yue claimed that he was here for food and tax matters and said that some accounts needed to be reviewed by Liu Biao, the prefect of Jiangxia.

    After finishing chatting about some official business, it was already half an hour later.

    Huang Zu was thinking about how to issue an order to expel the guests. At this time, Kuai Yue suddenly changed the subject and said with a smile: "When Yue was free today, I heard that Yan Liang sent someone to see Huang Taishou. I wonder if this is the case?"

    Huang Zu frowned secretly, thinking that Kuai Yue was not just here for business.

    "Yan Liang did send someone and wrote a letter to Huang, but in the letter he only claimed that he admired Huang very much, and also said that he did not want to fight with me in Jingzhou anymore, and wanted Huang to convey his wishes to the lord.  The intention of reconciliation.¡±

    Huang Zu didn¡¯t think too much and just told the truth.

    After hearing this, Kuai Yue paused and said, "But I don't know where Yan Liang's letter is. Can you let me have a look?"

    Hearing these words, Huang Zu's originally calm expression suddenly turned into a hint of anger.
