Chapter 463: Chen Jiao, Jiangdu

The wind on the river is chilly, and the wind on the river makes the face look even colder. Over time, the cheeks on both sides will become numb. You have to rub it red with your hands before you can regain your consciousness. Zhou Yu stood at the bow of the boat facing the strong wind, covered with a cloak sewn with fox fur on the outside. The true energy in his body kept wandering, and he didn't feel cold.

Seeing that the guards carefully led the war horse to the shore, the soldiers of the Feilong Army in the distance had already spread out in a fan shape to search for any lurking enemy troops. Everything went smoothly and ordered, Zhou Yu breathed a long sigh and said in his heart: "Guangling City~~Chen Deng~~I, Zhou Gongjin, are here!"

The place where Zhou Yu's troops landed was not far from the Huai River entering the river. He could no longer move forward. The entire Huai River was covered with thick ice. After walking about ten miles from the landing, it was a water camp of the Xuzhou Water Army. The Huai River was frozen and the ships could not pass. Which stupid enemy would march in such weather? The soldiers in the water camp all relaxed their defenses, and the generals did not dare to return to the city, so they drank and gambled with their subordinates every day, which was so happy.

These happy people naturally became unhappy soon. When the all-rule light cavalry appeared before them like divine weapons coming from the sky, surrender was the only way to save their lives.

After taking over the water camp, Zhou Yu led his troops not to stop at all. Except for leaving 300 people to guard the surrendered soldiers and protect the supplies in the camp, the rest of the troops headed straight to Jiangdu, an important town in Guangling County.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Jiangdu belonged to Wu and Yue. When Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, appointed his nephew Liu Bian as King of Wu, he established his capital here, called Wu, and later changed his name to Jiangdu. In the fourth year of Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty, Jiangdu was established in the county and belonged to Jiangdu. The name "Jiangdu" was first seen in history. According to Guo Pu's Jiangdu Fu, "the gods were submitted to Jiangdu". It was probably because the river water city gathered here, so it was named. Another saying is called Jiangdu, "is a large metropolis of Jianghuai". The coexistence of the two sayings is related to water.

In Guangling County, if it is prosperous and prosperous, Jiangdu City is even better than Guangling City.

Zhou Yu's army walked in the cold wind for a day and a night, and the personal guard led by his vanguard Quan Rou arrived near Jiangdu. Zhou Yu rode a horse with Quan Rou. When it was dim, they finally saw the tall walls of Jiangdu City from afar.

Zhou Yu turned around and looked at the cavalry who looked tired due to the urgent marching, and ordered a rest on the spot for half an hour to recover his strength. Quan Judo: "Lord, before leaving, you asked us to carry a hundred sets of Xuzhou army armor. I wonder when it will be available?"

Zhou Yu looked at the green flags planted everywhere in Jiangdu City, smiled and said, "It will be used soon, and it will be of great use later!" After that, Zhou Yu pulled Quan Rou and said in secret words and sentences in his ear.

Quan Rou suddenly realized: "The lord is so smart! The last general had thought about it before, but he did not think so carefully."

Chen Jiao's courtesy name was Ji Bi, and was from Dongyang County, Guangling County. His original surname was Liu. He changed his surname to Chen because of his adoption and his mother's family. In the early days, Chen Jiao lived in Jiangdong area in order to avoid chaos. At that time, Liu Yao and Yuan Shu both hired Chen Jiao, but Chen Jiao was not appointed to serve as an official. Later, he decided to return to his hometown Guangling County to live. Guangling Prefect Chen Deng successfully invited Chen Jiao to serve as the county gongcao. Considering the importance of Jiangdu, he appointed Chen Jiao as the magistrate of Jiangdu County.

Chen Jiao was good at rhetoric and attached importance to the legal system. Jiangdu County was in order under his governance. However, Chen Jiao was not good at leading troops. Jiang had 5,000 defenders, so he let them go and handed them over to the Jiangdu County Captain to command, so he asked occasionally.

A few days ago, Chen Jiao received a secret order from Liu Bei, asking him to prepare combat supplies and train his soldiers. Next spring and summer, he would cross the river south and go straight to Danyang. Chen Jiao went out and looked at the cloudy sky. The thin northwest wind made people feel cold all over. He wanted to hide in the house and not come out, so he relaxed his vigilance and called the county magistrate and told him to strengthen his training. He went to study in the warm study.

There is a golden house in the book, and there is a Yan Ruyu in the book. Just as Chen Jiao was immersed in the book, he suddenly heard a burst of noise outside the county government, so he called the guards and asked him to go out to see what happened. If there are bad people who gathered together, they will arrest them first.

After a while, the guard did not come back, but a young and fierce general pushed the door and brought in a cold wind and a murderous aura. Chen Jiao was confused and panicked at first. When he saw clearly that the general in front of him was wearing Xuzhou army armor, his face suddenly darkened and he shouted: "Who are you? What crime should you be punished if you dare to trespass on my county government?"

The general did not answer, but just threw the thing in his hand in a stern face into Chen Jiao. The thing rolled on the ground. Chen Jiao looked closely and clearly was the guard who had just called out to check the situation!

Even though Chen Jiao was calm, he couldn't hold on at this moment. The man in front of him was full of murderous aura, his eyes widened, and he was staring at him, which made Chen Jiao feel nervous.

The general raised the steel knife in his hand and sneered: "Mr. Chen must be speculating on his identity. It is not to be hiding. I am the right general of Han, the Marquis of Hanting, and the governor of the Jiaozhou affairs of Yangzhou, and the general of the Xiayamen of Master Zhou!"

"Ah~~~" Chen Jiao was shocked, his fingers were soft, and he said authentically, "You~~How did you come to my Jiangdu? Could it be that you can fly?"

Quan Rou laughed and said, "My lord is a wise plan. You are ambitions to try to occupy our territory and personally lead a large army to sweep. Now all the four gates of Jiangdu City have been opened, and all the guards are surrendering. Why don't you descend quickly?"

Chen Jiao heard the shouts of killing outside getting smaller and smaller. He knew that Quan Rou was not lying, so he lowered his head and sighed: "The two armies are fighting each other for their own leadership. Although the *** people have occupied Jiangdu, I will not surrender you. If you want to kill or cut them, you can do whatever you want."

Quan Rou said coldly: "You don't know the current affairs, and I have no intention of persuading you. Come and detain this person! Leave it to the lord for disposal!"

It turned out that Quanrou led a hundred elite soldiers wearing the armor of Xuzhou soldiers, pretending to be the lieutenant in front of Liu Bei's tent, and tricked the Jiangdu gate. Zhou Yu then led the troops into the city. Although there were 5,000 guards in the city, they were unprepared and were all infantry. How could they be the opponents of the elite cavalry who followed Zhou Yu all day long? The county lieutenant died in battle, and Yu Zhong quickly surrendered.

That night, Zhou Tai led the Flying Dragon Army to the snow. Zhou Yu temporarily imprisoned 3,000 surrendered soldiers in the military camp and asked someone to change their military uniforms. Seeing this, Zhou Tai smiled and said, "Do you want to use the same trick again?"
