The first thousand two hundred and seventeen chapters Huang Kui set off
Chapter 1,217 Huang Kui sets out to fight
After hearing Zhou Mao's words, Huang Wan could no longer maintain his composure and stood up directly, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"This is absolutely true. Nanyang has really changed its flag."
Although Huang Wan didn't believe it, Zhou Mao had nothing to say. After all, this was the fact and it was impossible to refute it.
"How about that one?
Was he executed by Yuan Shu?
Or go to jail?”
Since this is an irrefutable fact, Huang Wan wants to know Zhang Fang's situation even more.
"There is no news yet, but I guess he will not be in trouble. After all, he has changed his mind and is a disloyal minister. If it were me, I would never allow such a person to survive."
Zhou Mao shook his head. Although he did not get reliable information, the outcome was predictable and it would definitely not be good.
"That's okay, but I'm afraid that Yuan Shu will do that thing of buying horse bones for thousands of gold. If he really doesn't pursue Zhang Fang's crime, it will be a disaster for us.
After all, today is different from the past. The rebellion in the five states has been put down in four states. Only we in Jingzhou are still persisting. To be honest, we have a low chance of winning against China.
If Yuan Shu extends an olive branch at this time, I am afraid that people with weak minds will immediately switch sides."
Huang Wan sees further than anyone else. He has already seen a possibility, that is, if Yuan Shu really issues a surrender letter, how many people on his side can stick to their beliefs and remain loyal to the Han Dynasty.
"Well, I understand what Duke Wan means. I will let Zhang Fang surrender to Yuan Shu, but he was ruthlessly tortured by him. Then the news of the execution of the three tribes will spread throughout Xiangyang. I will let everyone know that surrendering to Yuan Shu is not the way out. The only way is to resist.
It’s the only option to survive.”
Hearing Huang Wan's worry, Zhou Mao immediately understood what he meant and also knew what to do next.
"Well, remember, don't do it too deliberately, understand?"
"No, but now that Nanyang has changed its flag, don't we need to send troops immediately to seize Deng County and close their door to the south?"
Zhou Mao nodded, but he immediately thought of a question. Since Nanyang has defected to Yuan Shu, their hopes have been dashed. Don't they need to strike first and capture Deng County?
"Zhang Fang is not brave and resourceful. If he is really determined to join Yuan Shu, do you think Deng County will not have heavy troops?
Rather than expending men and horses to attack the city, it would be better to retreat and send people out of Caiyang to Anchang.
If Yuan Shu's army arrives, we can attack from the direction of Caiyang and cut off the food route of Yuan Shu's army."
Now he has the map of the entire Jingzhou in his mind. When Zhou Mao proposed to seize Deng County, he shook his head slightly. If the opponent was on guard, it would be a waste of effort. Instead of doing this, it would be better to abandon Deng County and attack directly.
Cai Yang came better.
"Wan Gong has a brilliant plan. I will make arrangements right away. Do you have any candidates to attack Cai Yang?"
Zhou Mao nodded. Huang Wan's analysis was very reasonable, but if he sends troops to attack Cai Yang, he will probably become a lone army. Once Yuan Shu goes south to Deng County and discovers Cai Yang's own soldiers, he will definitely attack the opponent first and cannot resist it.
It's just death.
"This task is very dangerous and important. It cannot be done by someone other than one close to you, so just let Huang Kui go."
Huang Wan glanced at Zhou Mao and directly decided to lead the army as his son, Huang Kui.
"Mr. Wan, isn't it a bit too much to let the young master go? I suggest you let Pang Qing take the people."
Zhou Mao was stunned when he heard Huang Wan's suggestion. He knew the importance of attacking Cai Yang and understood the risks, so Huang Wan actually asked his son to go there on behalf of the army.
"It's okay, the Huang family is a loyal family. It is precisely because this mission is dangerous that I can't let others go. Otherwise, once they are surrounded by Yuan Shu's army, they are likely to surrender directly. If Cai Yang is in our hands, Yuan Shu will not be able to do it all."
The heart attacks the city, do you understand?"
Huang Wan shook his head. With Zhang Fang's lessons learned, he didn't dare to gamble anymore. If he lost, he would not only lose a city, but the enemy would probably divide his forces into two groups to surround and annihilate Xiangyang.
"No, but Mr. Wan should convey this news to General Huang Kui himself. It would be better to meet with General Huang before setting off for the expedition."
Now that Huang Wan has confirmed his choice, Zhou Mao has nothing to say. Let him inform Huang Kui himself. After all, this march is very dangerous and it is very likely that this will be the last time father and son see each other.
"I understand, you go down and arrange the troops."
Zhou Mao clasped his fists and left, and then Huang Wan sent someone directly to the military camp to summon Huang Kui to meet him.
"Father, why did you call me here?"
Huang Kui dismounted and entered the mansion. Looking at Huang Wan in the first place, he couldn't help but be startled. He hadn't seen such a serious Huang Wan for a long time.
"You come to the ancestral hall with me."
Huang Wan didn't say anything. When he saw Huang Kui coming, he stood up and walked towards the ancestral hall.
Huang Kui's face drooped. He really didn't know why Huang Wan was like this.
The two of them entered the ancestral hall together. Huang Wan lit three pillars of incense and inserted them into the incense burner. Looking at the curling green smoke, Huang Wan's face was full of seriousness.
"Father, why did you call me to the ancestral hall?"
Huang Kui doesn't look like a decisive and decisive general now, he is just like a kid who made a mistake.
"Kneel down."
As soon as Huang Wan opened his mouth, Huang Kui knelt down on the futon with a pop.
"Zongwen, do you know how many spiritual places there are on this spiritual table?"
Huang Wan looked at the piles of spiritual tablets in front of him and spoke to Huang Kui.
"There are a total of twenty-seven spiritual places on this spiritual table, all of which are the ancestors of my Huang family."
As Huang Wan's only son, Huang Kui naturally knew a lot about the history of the Huang family.
"Wrong, it's twenty-nine spiritual positions."
After Huang Wan finished speaking, he placed the two new spiritual tablets on the spiritual table. The names on them were none other than those of Huang Wan and Huang Kui.
"Father, what does this mean?"
Huang Kui glanced at his tablet and couldn't help but be stunned, not understanding what Huang Wan meant.
"This time Yuan Shu comes with his army. It will be difficult for the New Han Dynasty to win. However, as a loyal member of the Huang family, I will definitely not be the one who betrays the Han Dynasty. Even if we are really facing despair, we cannot give up our faith. We can only ignore it now."
Where there is death there is life, do you understand?"
Huang Wan wiped his spiritual tablet with his hand, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Of course Huang Kui will not be the person who betrays Han, and I have already put my life and death aside. If you have anything to do with my father, just tell me."
Hearing what Huang Wan said, Huang Kui also understood that his father must have some dangerous mission for him, otherwise he would definitely not be like this.
"Now that Nanyang Zhang Fang has surrendered to Yuan Shu again, the entire Nanyang County has changed hands instantly. Yuan Shu will soon lead his army south to attack Xiangyang.
We need a favorable general to lead the army to capture Caiyang and Anchang. Xiangyang is the horn of each other. As long as Yuan Shu dares to attack Xiangyang, we will immediately send troops to new areas to cut off his food routes."
Huang Wan nodded and directly stated his arrangement.
"Did Suoyi's father recommend me?"
As a man who knows the military, Huang Kui naturally knows the danger Huang Wan mentioned. Cai Yang and Anchang, not to mention Cai Yang and Anchang, both know the threat to Deng County here. If Yuan Shu's army comes to kill, he will definitely not sit back and watch Cai Yang.
If there are enemies, they will definitely be eliminated as soon as possible.
Taking a step back, even if Yuan Shu ignored Cai Yang and attacked Xiangyang with all his strength, he had to leave Cai Yang to attack Xinye. This would be a life-or-death journey. He never expected that his father would let him go to such a fate.
.
"Yes, problems may arise for anyone who does this. Once surrounded by Yuan Shu's army, this person must have an indomitable spirit and an absolutely loyal will to the big man, otherwise he may rebel on the battlefield.
I am a loyal member of the Huang family, and I cannot let others go in such a critical situation, nor do I believe that others can complete it, so I recommend you to go there."
Huang Wan didn't look at Huang Kui at all, but just turned his back to him and spoke.
"I understand, but I have an unkind request."
Huang Kui didn't argue when he heard Huang Wan's words. There were already tears in his eyes.
"explain."
Huang Wan still didn't turn around, but his voice was slightly hoarse.
"My child is still young, and I hope my father can properly arrange it. This is the only thing Huang Kui can't let go of."
After Huang Kui finished speaking, he knocked his head to the ground. The tears in his eyes had already fallen to the ground and turned into pieces.
"I have arranged for him to leave Xiangyang a long time ago. Don't worry about this. Just lead the troops to fight with peace of mind."
Hearing Huang Kui's words, Huang Wan trembled, and then said that they had already arranged to answer together.
"In this way, the child will have nothing to worry about, but this departure may mean goodbye forever. The child has no way to repay his father's kindness in raising him. I can only wish that my father can help Xinhan."
"Boom."
"Boom."
"Boom."
After Huang Kui finished speaking, he knocked his head to the ground three times, then stood up, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hands, and left the ancestral hall.
After Huang Kui left, Huang Wan still did not turn around, but wiped Huang Kui's spiritual place with trembling hands.
"Don't blame father, who made you born into the Huang family."
Huang Kui came out of Huang Wan's mansion and went directly to the military camp, where 30,000 elite soldiers and 20,000 ordinary soldiers were already ready.
"Set off."
Now that everything was ready, Huang Kui had nothing to say and directly ordered the army to set off.
The 50,000-strong army left Xiangyang City directly and headed east in the opposite direction of Cai Yang.
Xiangyang sent troops to prepare for war. Zhang Hong and Zang Ba were not idle. When the time came, they did not need to issue a military order from Yuan Shu. They had already sent out troops in advance. With Zang Ba's 20,000 Xuzhou Military Commission as the vanguard and the 80,000 militiamen as the center, they left Jinchun and entered.
Within Jiangxia.
Zang Ba had been stationed in Jiangxia before. After Cai Mao captured Jiangxia, he did not change his generals. Therefore, Zang Ba came to Jiangxia city to watch the wind and fell. The army marched quickly and directly captured the capital of Xiling.
After taking Xiling, Zang Ba originally wanted to wait for Zhang Hong's arrival, but Zhang Hong's messenger from behind arrived first.
"General Zang Ba, Sir Zhang Hong orders you not to stay, but to go directly to Nanjun to cut off the puppet Han's southward retreat."
The messenger directly expressed Zhang Hong's meaning.
"Okay, I understand, the whole army is heading to Nanjun."
Zhang Hong was indeed Zhang Hong. He could even predict what he was thinking. In this case, what else could he say? He left Xiling with 30,000 Xuzhou troops and ran towards Nanjun.
Zang Ba didn't stop here for a moment, and Xu Huang, who was far away in Fuling, also started taking action.
The 20,000-strong Hengye Army and the 30,000-strong civilian regiment left Fuling and marched directly into Wuling County. Then they led the army north and directly attacked Yidu County.
The reason why Nanjun was not attacked was simply because Nanjun had a large area and a large population, so it was likely to be attacked by enemy snipers. Compared with Nanjun, Yidu County was much easier to attack and could attack Xiangyang at the fastest speed.
Compared with Zhang Hong and Xu Huang's quick reaction, Dong Zhao and Wang Lang's reaction was a bit slow. Although Chen's troops were tens of thousands, they did not move rashly. They lay obediently on the border, waiting for Yuan Shu's military order.
Yuan Shu's army briefly rested in Wancheng, and then marched south toward Deng County.
"Two gentlemen, His Majesty's decree requires us to send troops south to attack Nanxiang County and surround Liu Biao in Xiangyang with him."
Soon Yuan Shu's people came directly to the place where Lu, Dong Zhao and Wang Lang were stationed.
"Finally we are here, order the soldiers to march south to Jingzhou."
After receiving Yuan Shu's order, Dong Zhao and Wang Lang did not hesitate and directly ordered an army of 70,000 to attack Nanxiang.
