    On the flagship, Lu Meng stood with his sword in hand, looking south.

    He could vaguely see the outline of Huang Zu's water camp, but he did not encounter the stubborn resistance of Huang Zu's navy as he had expected.  .

    Five thousand enemy troops were huddled in the water stronghold, but they were in a position that they could not stand.

    Lu Meng was quite surprised by Huang Zu's navy's actions.

    Now that the Yan family's army is approaching, with Liu Qi's current weak military strength, he can only take advantage of Yan Liang's infantry and cavalry army to fight first, defeat the navy commanded by Lu Meng, and seize the water control rights of the Xiang River.  Hope of reversing the situation.

    In Lu Meng¡¯s view, this is Liu Qi¡¯s only choice at the moment.

    " Huang Zu's decision to stand still was contrary to common sense.

    "Liu Qi, are you scared and confused? Why don't you let the navy go to war"

    Lu Meng¡¯s brows were furrowed, suspicion flashing in his eyes.

    Without vision, the Xiang River is rolling, and the outline of the enemy camp becomes clearer and clearer.

    "I see¡­¡­"

    Suddenly, a strange color flashed in Lu Meng's eyes, as if he had figured something out, his frown suddenly dispersed, and a sly smile quietly appeared at the corner of his mouth.

    After figuring out the link, Lu Meng shouted: "Give me the order not to launch an attack on Huang Zu's navy for the time being. The whole army will land and camp, waiting for the lord's army to come and join us."

    After the order was passed, 400 warships slowly docked, and 7,000 soldiers landed one after another. A water camp was quickly built, forming a north-south confrontation with Huang Zu's water camp more than ten miles away.

    While the camp was being set up, a boat was also heading north quickly.  Go and report to Yan Liang who has arrived in Baqiu.

    ¡­¡­

    Bachu Port.

    Hundreds of warships entered Dongting Lake from the Yangtze River and slowly sailed into Baqiu Water Camp.

    The more than 20,000 cavalry led by Yan Liang were about one day's water journey behind L¨¹ Meng's vanguard.

    Most of the 20,000 horsemen are not accustomed to water, and taking a boat is tantamount to torture for them.

    From Xiangyang to Xiakou, and then from Xiakou to Baqiu.  After being bumpy on the river for several days, many soldiers suffered from seasickness, vomiting, and exhaustion.

    The war is about to begin.  In order to ensure the physical strength and mental strength of the soldiers, Yan Liang had to slow down his schedule and order the warships to enter the port.  Allow the soldiers to disembark and go ashore to rest for a night.

    As soon as he entered the Chinese army's tent, Xu Shu followed him.

    "My Lord, this is an urgent report from Linxiang from Lu Ziming. Please read it, Lord." Xu Shu said and handed over the silk book.

    Yan Liang didn't have time to take a breath, put on his armor and sat down, unfolding the information and taking a closer look.

    As he watched, a strange look gradually appeared on Yan Liang's face.

    When Yan Liang raised his head, he saw Xu Shu stroking his beard and smiling, with a strange look in his eyes.

    Yan Liang also raised the corners of his mouth slightly and put down the silk book.  "Yuanzhi, the situation has changed slightly from what we thought. What do you think?"

    "If I haven't guessed, Huang Zu's standing still was definitely not Liu Qi's intention. It was because he wanted to preserve his strength."

    Xu Shu said and sat down, with a confident look on his face.

    Xu Shu's words were exactly what Yan Liang was thinking, but he was not eager to express his attitude. He only asked: "How can you see Yuan Zhi?"

    "If I remember correctly, long before taking Jiangxia, my lord had used a divorce plan to make Liu Biao suspicious of Huang Zu, and the one who suggested something to Liu Biao was none other than Kuai Yue. It can be said that the relationship between Huang Zu and Kuai Yue  There must have been deep suspicion."

    Recalling what happened before, Yan Liang nodded slightly.

    Xu Shu went on to say: "Now Liu Qi is using Kuai Yue as his mastermind again, and Huang Zhong is marching south to Guiyang and taking away Huang Zu's nearly 5,000 naval troops. Shu makes a bold guess that it must be Kuai Yue who is proposing a plan to Liu Qi again.  By maneuvering to seize Huang Zu's military power to reduce Liu Qi's reliance on Huang Zu, Huang Zu must be dissatisfied with Liu Qi. Now it coincides with our army's massive attack, so Huang Zu stood still.  "

    Xu Shu's eloquent words were roughly the same as what Lu Meng said in his letter. Yan Liang couldn't help feeling that all the wise men in the world really saw the same thing.

    At that moment, Yan Liang smiled happily, "Since Yuan Zhi and Zi Ming have the same judgment, there is no need to be suspicious. Originally, I wanted to pacify Liu Qi. I wanted to have a big battle at least. I first pulled out Huang Zu's nail. Now it seems  , things have become much simpler.¡±

    Yan Liang¡¯s expression was bold, but there was another mystery hidden in his words.

    "But I don't know what my lord's plan is?" Xu Shu asked.

    Yan Liang sneered, "What other plans can I have? Of courseI would like to invite Mr. Huang to accompany me on a trip to Changsha.  "

    Xu Shu stroked his beard and laughed. That smile was obviously what Yan Liang said and was deeply appreciated by him.

    ¡­¡­

    One day later, Yan Liang's 20,000 cavalry arrived in Linxiang.

    At this time, Liu Qi's troops in the city were less than 3,000, and Yan Liang's army of more than 20,000 could be said to have an absolute advantage.

    After fighting in Jingzhou for so long, Yan Liang had such a big advantage for the first time. Even when he captured Jiangling before, his total force was only 10,000 more men than Liu Qi.

    On the day he arrived in Linxiang, Yan Liang ordered his generals to surround Linxiang City completely, completely cutting off the connection between Liu Qi and Huang Zu's navy.

    After three days of siege, Yan Liang was not in a hurry to attack the city.

    "The art of war has it that siege is the last resort. Yan Liang's tactics of deceit and change frightened the heroes. How could he let his elite soldiers be wasted in a useless siege until it was absolutely necessary?"

    Besides, Changsha County is the largest county in Jingnan. Although Linxiang, where it is governed, is not as strong as famous cities like Jiangling and Xiakou, it still has high walls and thick walls.

    And Liu Qi still has about 3,000 soldiers and horses in the city. Most of these troops are elite Changsha soldiers trained by Huang Zhong, and they still have quite a bit of combat effectiveness.

    That evening, Yan Liang¡¯s Chinese army tent welcomed a guest.

    This guest is none other than Huang Zu¡¯s eldest son Huang She.

    Since the fall of Xiakou, the eldest son of the Huang family has been imprisoned for more than a year. Considering that he and his wife Yueying share the same clan, Yan Liang did not take his life. Now, this opportunity is exactly what he needs.  His time.

    "Brother Huang Xian is here. Please take a seat quickly. Someone is here. Let's serve the wine."

    When he saw Huang She entering, Yan Liang showed considerable enthusiasm, as if he was greeting an old friend whom he had met for a long time.

    The gray-headed Huang She looked flattered and stood there motionless. Yan Liang's sudden enthusiasm made Mr. Huang a little at a loss.

    "We are all family members, why should we be so formal? Come on, brother, I will have a few drinks with you."

    Under Yan Liang's kindness, he stood up and pulled Huang She to sit down.  Huang She could only gingerly drink a glass of warm wine poured by Yan Liang.

    After drinking a few glasses of wine, Huang She, who was flattered, gradually calmed down, and a slight smile appeared on his face.  He cupped his hands and said, "But I don't know what the general ordered Huang to do when he summoned him to Changsha overnight?"

    At this time, Huang She no longer had any arrogance as the eldest son of the Huang family. The violent beating Yan Liang gave him and the decline of his father Huang Zu's power meant that Huang She no longer had the capital to be arrogant.

    After drinking a glass of wine, Yan Liang restrained his polite expression.

    "Let me tell you the truth. Yan has always admired your father. The war between me and your father was mostly due to the Liu family. Now that Liu Biao is dead, I have captured most of Jingzhou. Now  I have tens of thousands of troops to suppress the situation, and Liu Qi is at the end of his rope. If your Majesty continues to help Zhou, I don¡¯t need to tell you what will happen to you, Huang Xiandi can imagine. "

    In words.  The threat surged like an undercurrent.

    Huang She was frightened by Yan Liang's power and couldn't help but shudder.

    With a sigh, Huang She asked sadly: "The general is so powerful in Jingxiang, and he knows it well. If the general has any orders, he might as well say it clearly."

    "It's very simple. I would like to ask Huang Xiandi to persuade your Majesty to abandon the dark side and surrender to the Ming Dynasty. I am a man who is thirsty for talents. As long as he is willing to surrender, I can protect your Huang family's prosperity and wealth."

    Yan Liang did not beat around the bush and made it clear that he wanted to surrender.

    Huang She was silent for a moment and asked, "What if my father just refuses to surrender to the general?"

    "It's also very simple. If your father refuses to drink wine as a penalty, the day he is defeated will be the day when your Huang family will be destroyed."

    Yan Liang said this ultimatum-like threat coldly.

    Huang She was shocked when he heard the words "The Huang family was destroyed", and a strong fear flashed in his eyes.

    Huang She knew very well that Yan Liang would definitely do what he said.

    "After conquering Xiangyang, Yan Liang mercilessly wielded the butcher's knife against the Cai Kuai clan. Almost overnight, he killed the two most prosperous clans in Xiangyang without leaving a trace.

    " Such a butcher, whose violence is comparable to that of Dong Zhuo, is definitely not joking when he says he wants to destroy the Huang family.

    Deeply frightened, Huang She fell into silence.

    Yan Liang did not force him, he just drank leisurely on his own.

    After a long while, Huang She took a long breath, cupped his hands and said, "General Yan is the hero of the world.Xiong, it is the honor of my Huang family to serve the general. She is willing to accept the general's invitation and do his best to persuade my father to submit to the general.  "

    Seeing that Huang She agreed, Yan Liang was overjoyed, "Brother Huang Xian is indeed a person who understands current affairs. That's good. I like heroes like you. Come on, I'll give you a toast."

    "Don't take it for granted, General Huang Moujing is the one." Huang She hurriedly raised his glass.

    After several rounds of drinking, Huang She tried his best to be courteous and cautious, and repeatedly promised to convince his father to surrender.

    Yan Liang showed that he was convinced. When he was enjoying the wine, he wrote a letter in his own hand and asked Huang She to take it to Huang Zu.

    At nightfall, Yan Liang, who smelled of alcohol, personally sent Huang She to the camp gate. After comforting him, he let him go.

    Huang She said goodbye, rode away, and quickly disappeared into the night.

    When the horse disappeared from sight, Xu Shu appeared behind him, stroking his beard and saying with a smile: "This Huang She is acting very sincerely. It seems like he wants to submit sincerely."

    He snorted coldly and dismissed it.

    ¡°He¡¯s a little green when it comes to acting in front of me¡±

    The smile on Yan Liang's face disappeared immediately, and a cold and sly smile quietly appeared at the corner of his mouth.

    Deep in the night, Huang She, who was riding away, looked back and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no one was following him.

    That respectful expression disappeared with the night wind, and pride and hatred returned to Huang She's face.

    "Yan Liang, you thief, who do you think you are? You still want me, the Huang family, to submit to you? Bah¡ª¡ª"

    In his disdain, Huang She took out Yan Liang's handwritten letter from his arms and threw it into the wind.
