Chapter 523
However, it is said that Pan Zhang killed the five officials of Yuzhang and suppressed Xu Ping without authorization, which led to the fall of Nanchang. Pan Zhang took only three or five cronies and fled across the city to the east under the cover of night.

Pan Zhang lost Nanchang carelessly, consciously failed Sun Quan's trust, and returned to Wu without face.

Now Geyang, Shangrao, and Le'an counties in the east of Yuzhang have not yet fallen into the enemy's hands. Pan Zhang intends to integrate the counties, and Yingcheng defends to hold back the Jingzhou army in the direction of Nanchang.

Pan Zhang's plan soon came to nothing. Zhuge Liang did not despise Pan Zhang because he fled alone, and immediately dispatched Qingqi to pursue him.

Faced with the Jingzhou army's pursuit of Qingqi, Pan Zhang didn't dare to take a breath for a moment, and ran all the way to death.

Pan Zhang had been serving in the west and north of Yuzhang before, but he lacked prestige in the east of Yuzhang. In addition, the cavalry of the Jingzhou Army followed closely. resistance.

Pan Zhang's threats and even the use of force were useless. In desperation, he could only continue to flee eastward until he got into the mountainous area of ​​Shexian County in Danyang, where he completely escaped the pursuit of the Jingzhou army cavalry.

Pan Zhang knew that he had no chance to stand up in Yuzhang, and he didn't want to return to Wu County in such a desperate situation, so he planned to go to Yidanyang.

When passing through Jing County, he happened to meet Sun Yi. Pan Zhang immediately decided to assist Sun Yi in the crusade against the Ma and Bao thieves.

Zhuge Liang received Liu Jing's order to lead his army southward to attack Luling. After the Geyang, Shangrao, and Le'an counties in the east of Yuzhang were determined, Zhuge Liang took a rest. ride south.

The counties in the south of Yuzhang have all been subordinated. Wherever Zhuge Liang's army passed by, the officials and people in the counties in the south of Yuzhang all served cattle and wine, and the suburbs greeted them.

The army led by Zhuge Liang was extremely powerful, and marched all the way into the border of Luling County. The counties of Yangcheng and Shiyang in the north of Luling were terrified, and they surrendered their cities one after another, and no one dared to resist.

And Wang Qiang led thousands of people in Jiaozhou, from the south to the Ganshui River and up the north, playing triumphantly all the way, and arrived at the city of Luling a few days earlier than Zhuge Liang's army.

So far, except for the prefecture and city of Luling, all other counties have been lost, and Sun Fu has completely become a lonely family.

Sun Fu was not afraid of Wang Qiang's army outside the city, but Zhuge Liang led the troops to the south, but Sun Fu fell into an abyss.

Recently there were rumors in the city that his elder brother, Sun Ben, had been defeated and died. Sun Fu was very frightened and furious, and sent troops to hunt and kill those who confuse people with lies in the streets, but the hearts of the scholars and people in the city were disturbed.

As Zhuge Liang's army went south, it seemed that the previous rumors were confirmed. There were dozens of shocks in the city every day, and Sun Fu couldn't rest even though he killed him.

Sun Fu was completely panicked at this moment, so he had to seek advice from the military adviser Liu Dun, and asked him to use the "Liujia Guxu Method" to predict good and bad luck for him.

Liu Dun was originally from Qingzhou Pingyuan County. He hid in the remote place of Luling to avoid the war in the Central Plains. Now he is determined to escape from Luling, so the result of divination is naturally beneficial to the east.

Looking at the results of the divination, Sun Fu couldn't help falling into silence, his face uncertain.

Although the current situation is extremely dangerous, Sun Fu has a strong city to defend and thousands of troops to drive, which is enough to fight the enemy.

The two counties of Yuzhang and Luling serve as barriers to the east and west of the river, and their importance is needless to say. Sun Quan will definitely come to the rescue.

Seeing that Sun Fu had not moved for a long time, Liu Dun became very anxious. Zhuge Liang's army has not yet arrived, and it is the best time to leave.

Liu Dun is proficient in the art of heavenly officials, and he is nicknamed "God" in the army. According to his usual style, he usually doesn't talk too much at this time, but it is related to his own life and death. Liu Dun had to make an exception and say:
"The kindness and kindness of husbands and relatives is common in ancient and modern times; the eldest son, Weicheng, is called by the poet. The general is based on the heart of the clan, and occupies the frontier, dignified Jiangdong. Fight to the death with the general.”

Sun Fu's brows were deeply furrowed, and what Liu Dun said was right, this was what he was most worried about.

Since Sun Fu took over Luling, he has acted violently and violated the interests of Luling scholars and people on a daily basis. As a result, Sun Fu has been in charge of the county for several years, but he still has no support.

Seeing that Sun Fu seemed to be touched, Liu Dun continued his efforts: "Besides, Yuzhang (Sun Ben)'s life and death are uncertain now, and the captives (Sun Quan) are beyond his reach. The general is in a dead end. There is no support from outside, and there are hidden worries inside. There is no chance of winning..."

Sun Fu remained silent.

Although Liu Dun was in a hurry, he couldn't persuade him anymore, so as not to arouse Sun Fu's suspicion.

Sun Fu also failed to make a decision in the end.

At the same time, Zhuge Liang led his army to fifty miles north of Luling County City, only one day away from Luling County City, Zhuge Liang immediately ordered someone to release the envoy Sun Fu who was imprisoned in the army.

Sun Fu's messenger was accidentally obtained by Zhou Feng before, and he presented it to Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang obtained information from this population, and successfully used tricks to lure Sun Ben out of Nanchang, winning the battle.

Zhuge Liang sent this person back because he intended to use this person's mouth to spread the news of Sun Ben's death, thereby disintegrating the fighting spirit of the soldiers and civilians in Luling.

Of course, in order to prevent this person from concealing the news, Zhuge Liang released more than ten prisoners from Luling who were captured in the previous Nanchang war together, and even placed a few of Zhou Feng's followers among them to ensure nothing goes wrong.

The courier and more than a dozen people were still in disbelief until they were released from the camp. After traveling for several miles, they still saw no pursuers, so they finally felt relieved.

After regaining their freedom, they couldn't help returning home like an arrow, and ran for fifty miles in one breath, and returned to Luling County before dark.

Zhou Feng's family members hid in it, and deliberately announced it when they entered the city. The news of Sun Ben's death spread quickly, causing an uproar in the city.

When Sun Fu heard that his elder brother died in battle, his eyes went dark. Although he had a premonition, it was only a rumor after all, so he still had a little luck. Now that the rumor was confirmed, Sun Fu burst into tears, heartbroken.

Sun Fu lost his parents and was brought up by his elder brother Sun Ben alone. The two brothers had an extraordinary relationship. Sun Fu pointed his sword at the sky and cursed while weeping: "The revenge of killing a brother is unshakable! Liu Jing, Zhuge Liang is a thief! I, Sun Fu, swear to the sky today that I will kill you two in the future, so as to comfort the spirit of my brother in heaven!..."

Liu Dun waited until Sun Fu got tired of scolding and gradually regained his senses, and then he tried to persuade him: "Zhuge Liang's intentions were really sinister when he released him to captives. Right now, the soldiers and people in the city know that Yuzhang (Sun Ben) is in trouble and everyone is afraid. In the lonely city, there are many suspects, and it is difficult to protect yourself, how can you avenge your brother?"

Liu Dun then changed the subject and said, "At present, the enemy is powerful. If we confront it head-on, there will be no life or death. According to Dun's opinion, it is better to avoid the front for a while and retreat to Wu and Hui. Trying to get revenge again..."

Sun Fu's eyes were red, and it took him a long time to follow.
