    Outside Nanjun City, Jiangdong¡¯s 40,000-strong army set up three camps.

    The two camps on the left and right stand out in front of the city, like two sharp knives pointing straight towards the city. In the middle is Zhou Yu's Chinese army account, which is the horn of each other with the left and right sides.

    In front of the camp, there are rows of deer antlers and horses, matching each other, and there are arrow towers connecting them in the middle.

    In the commander's tent, Zhou Yu was sitting on the commander's seat with a gloomy face. Next to him was Lu Su, the captain of the army. More than a dozen generals were standing below. Among them, three generals were kneeling. They were the vanguard of the attack on Nanjun.  Jiang Qin, Ding Feng and Xu Sheng.

    "You three, Jiang Qin, Ding Feng, and Xu Sheng, destroyed five thousand of our Jiangdong troops and were defeated by the enemy. Do you know your guilt?" Zhou Yu asked coldly.

    "The general will finally be convicted!" All three of them answered with their heads lowered.

    "Since you know your crime, you must not go unpunished. Someone comes and pushes Jiang Qin, Ding Feng, and Xu Sheng out and beheads them!"

    "No!" Several soldiers immediately came up and dragged Jiang Qin, Ding Feng and Xu Sheng outside the camp.

    "Capital Governor, please calm down. Although their crimes are unforgivable, the two sides killed the general first as soon as the war started, which is detrimental to our army. I hope the Commander-in-Chief will be merciful and let the three of them take the blame and perform meritorious service!"

    When Zhou Tai heard this, he quickly knelt down and begged Jiang Qin and the other three people.

    "I hope the Governor will show mercy!"

    Immediately afterwards, all the generals knelt down and begged the three of them for mercy.

    "Commander, now is the time to hire people. It is not appropriate to kill generals. Remember the crimes of the three of them first, and let them take the blame and perform meritorious service!" Lu Su also said hurriedly.

    "Since the generals are begging for mercy, I will spare the three of you. Each of you will be demoted one level, and you will be punished with meritorious service!" Zhou Yu actually did not want to kill these three people, but just to comply with the prohibition. Now that everyone is begging for mercy, naturally he will not insist on it anymore.

    "Thank you, Governor, for not killing me!" The three of them quickly saluted Zhou Yu and then stood on both sides.

    "Jiang Qin, tell us in detail how you were defeated!"

    "No!"

    Jiang Qin then explained in detail how they attacked the city and how they fell into Huo Jun's plan.

    Everyone frowned secretly after hearing this. Jiang Qin's defeat was indeed not a fault of war. If it had been anyone else, he might not have been able to escape this disaster.

    Zhou Yu also frowned.

    "You mean the guard in Nanjun City is not Cao Ren, but Huo Jun!"

    "Yes, they are flying under the banner of the Han Army, and they say they are under Liu Cong's command!"

    "Liu Cong's subordinate, isn't Liu Cong a puppet of Cao Cao?" Zhou Yu was a little surprised. Although he had heard the news from Xiangyang a long time ago, Liu Cong was re-appointed as the shepherd of Jingzhou, but Zhou Yu always thought that this was just Cao Cao's trick. Liu Cong  There is not a single soldier under his command.

    But now it seems that something is wrong.

    "Who is this Huo Jun? Does anyone know?" Zhou Yu asked again.

    Everyone in the big tent, including Lu Su, shook their heads.  Obviously, they had never heard of the name Huo Jun.

    But he is definitely not an ordinary person. He can design to defeat Jiang Qin, Ding Feng and Xu Sheng, and almost annihilate the entire army. How can he be an ordinary person?

    And this kind of person is the most terrifying, because you don¡¯t understand him at all and don¡¯t know how powerful he is.

    "Only when you know yourself and the enemy can you win a hundred battles without danger. We know nothing about Huo Jun, how can we not lose the battle? Lu Meng, you send a scout immediately to investigate. You must find out the details of Huo Jun!"

    "No!"

    "Captain, there is also a young general Niu Jin in Chengzhong. It's worth noting!" Ding Feng stepped out and saluted Zhou Yu, "We were chased by Niu Jin. If he chased him for another five miles, he would meet the governor.  His army was wiped out. But this man did not want to take credit and immediately retreated his troops!"

    "Niu Jin, check it out too!"

    "No!"

    "Zhou Tai Lingtong, ordered you two to lead two thousand soldiers and horses to attack the enemy at the foot of Nanjun City and find out Huo Jun's strength!"

    "No!"

    After Zhou Tai and Ling Tong led two thousand soldiers and horses to the city, do not let the soldiers attack the enemy and scold the formation.  However, after scolding for more than an hour, Huo Jun on top of the city ignored him at all. He had no choice but to come back and report back to Zhou Yu.

    At this time, Zhou Yu was no longer as high-spirited as when he first arrived, but had a sad look on his face.  The most feared thing about this siege is that the generals who defend the city don't pay attention to any behavior outside the city and just defend.  And judging from the situation Jiang Qin told, Huo Jun was well versed in defending the city.

    If there is nothing you can do, you can only attack by force, but attacking by force is not what Zhou Yu had in mind.

    Jiangdong soldiers were captured by Huo from NanjunThe news of the defeat of He and Niu Jin spread throughout Jingzhou like the wind. The Han army was deeply encouraged and their morale was greatly boosted. However, after Liu Bei of Jiangxia received the news, he felt a little panicked and immediately summoned his subordinates to discuss matters.

    "I believe everyone has heard the news from Nanjun, right?"

    "Brother, Zhou Yu is really useless. He actually allowed Huo Jun to be defeated and lose his troops. We had agreed at the beginning that if they couldn't take Nanjun, they would let us fight. Now let me take three thousand troops to take Nanjun.  Bring Huo Jun's head to my elder brother!" Zhang Fei had already clamored to send troops after hearing that Zhou Yu's vanguard Jiang Qin had been defeated.

    "Third brother, when will you change your reckless character?" Liu Bei glared at Zhang Fei, "Do you know who Huo Jun is? Do you know whether Nanjun City belongs to Cao Cao or Liu Cong now? Do you know how many people there are in Nanjun?  Soldiers?"

    "This" Zhang Fei was dumbfounded by Liu Bei's question and had to step aside.

    "My lord, Huo Jun is from Zhijiang, Nan County. His brother Huo Du was a military commander, but unfortunately died in the battle while suppressing bandits. The Xianzhou Mu asked Huo Jun to inherit his army. When Ma Liang was the magistrate of Yicheng County, he conquered the army.  Huo Jun was the captain of Yicheng County and commanded the troops. Later, when Cao Cao went south, both of them disappeared. Now that Cao Cao is defeated, Ma Liang appears in Xiangyang, but Huo Jun has arrived in Nanjun." Yi Ji introduced Huo Jun's situation to Liu Bei.

    "Niu Jin is from Nanyang. After the famous general Niu Chong, both of them are good generals!" Zhuge Liang also added, "With them guarding Nanjun, it will not be easy for Zhou Yu to break through!"

    "Then we are just in time" Zhang Feigang was about to step forward to ask for orders again, but was grabbed by Guan Yu.

    "Good generals? Did they surrender to Cao Cao?" Liu Bei asked.

    "If they surrender to Cao Cao, they will be upright and will never be hidden. I'm afraid this has something to do with Liu Cong!" After Zhuge Liang said these words, he himself had some doubts. What kind of person is Liu Cong?  He knew very well that it was precisely because he saw in Jingzhou that no one, whether it was Liu Biao, Liu Qi or Liu Cong, could become a hero in troubled times, so he never became an official. In the end, Liu Bei paid three visits to the thatched cottage.

    But everything that happened recently made him vaguely feel that either he had misjudged Liu Cong, or there was someone wise behind Liu Cong.

    "Could it be him?" Zhuge Liang's heart suddenly shook violently when he thought of this person.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
