Shu Han Confucian General of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 87
"What's going on at Shulang's place?" Seeing that Sun Yi's expression was not very good, Gu Yong asked quickly.

"The city is besieged by more than ten thousand mountains!" Sun Yi only answered with a sullen face.Shulang refers to Sun Jiao, the third son of Sun Jing's uncle Sun Jing, who is now the order of Moling.When Sun Jian died in Jingzhou, Sun Ce led his old troops to attach to Yuan Shu.Among the other sons, Sun Quan, the eldest, was only nine years old at the time, so they all returned to Wucheng, the place where Sun Jian was feuded, and were raised by Sun Jian's younger brother, Sun Jing.

In other words, Sun Jiao, Sun Quan, and Sun Yi all grew up together, and the brotherhood between them is no different from that of biological brothers.It is precisely because of this that Sun Jiao was appointed as the magistrate of Moling County when he was only sixteen, and served under Sun Yi, the prefect of Danyang.Now that Sun Jiao was besieged by Shanyue, Sun Yi became very anxious.

"Third son, I'm afraid there is a fraud in this!" Gu Yong suddenly said, seeing Sun Yi's stunned face, Gu Yong patiently explained: "If Wanyu Mountain is besieging the city, how did the messenger escape?" Sun Yi heard the words He was also stunned, and then ordered: "Bring the person who delivered the letter to me!"

"Little man Moling Pavilion Chief Yang Zheng, I pay my respects to the prefect!" Not long after, a man covered in blood was brought in front of Sun Yi and Gu Yong.Although the uniform on his body was already stained with blood, it was still vaguely recognizable that it was indeed the uniform of the pavilion chief. "Master Yang, the letter only says that there are more than ten thousand mountains and mountains besieging the city, what's the specific situation?" Gu Yong asked calmly.Sun Yi knew that his ability to deal with these details was far inferior to that of Gu Yong, so he kept silent and let him ask questions to see if there were any flaws.

"Replying to my lord, since the prefect ordered the counties to be on alert a few days ago, the county magistrate Sun also ordered the gates to be closed. Two days ago, several Shanyue troops suddenly came down the mountain and came to Moling. They asked the magistrate to provide grain and rice for three thousand shi, otherwise they would attack City. The county magistrate Sun defended the city, and at the same time ordered the villain to break out of the siege and report to Danyang City!" Yang Zheng was still panting slightly, but he basically spoke clearly.

"Wanyu Mountain was besieged by the city, how did Ting Zhang Zhang break out of the siege and report the letter?" Gu Yong asked lightly.Yang Zheng was slightly taken aback, but he still answered honestly: "The villain has been practicing martial arts since childhood, and County Magistrate Sun saw that the mountain was not well-prepared at night, so he asked me to wait for four people to come out from the four gates to report the news. There are no horses in the mountain. The man managed to get out of the encirclement by relying on the swiftness of his mount, but I don't know if there are other people coming to report?"

"But not." Gu Yong frowned slightly.At this time, Sun Yi, who had been silent all this time, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and asked directly, "How is Shu Lang?"

"The county magistrate led the army to defend the city. Fortunately, the Shanyue army didn't have too many siege equipment, so it will be safe for a while." Yang Zheng panted slightly. "Ting Zhang Yang has worked hard, please go to rest first!" Gu Yong asked here and felt that the question was almost done.Just as Yang Zheng got up and walked a few steps, Gu Yong suddenly asked again: "What happened to Liu County Chancellor of Moling County?"

"Liu county magistrate?" Yang Zheng was stunned when he heard the words, and then he said: "My lord, I am afraid that I have misremembered. None of the two county magistrates in Moling County have the surname Liu, and there is only one Liu county magistrate who is assisting the county magistrate." Defend the city!"

"That's true, Gu has a wrong memory!" Gu Yong also nodded when he heard the words, and then let Yang Zheng go down to rest and not mention it. "Mr. Yuan Tan, what do you think?" Sun Yi asked impatiently after Yang Zheng left.

"It seems that there is no flaw." Gu Yong frowned slightly, and then said: "Although the Shanyue army is brave and good at fighting, it is not good at attacking the city. Lord Moling Shulang has two thousand defenders, and it is safe. Don't act rashly."

"Shu Lang is my brother. Now that he is in danger, how can I just ignore him? The people in Shanyue are the most cruel. If the city is destroyed, Shu Lang will be in danger!" Sun Yi said anxiously.Without waiting for Gu Yong's objection, Sun Yi hurriedly said again: "Besides, Moling is connected to Danyang and Wu Commanderies. If the city is destroyed, the hearts of the two counties will inevitably be disturbed. How can we just sit idly by?"

"Since this is the case, let me repay the lord and ask him to send troops from Wujun to rescue the siege!" Gu Yong also knew the importance of Moling, but he still preferred not to send troops from Danyang.

"Wu Jun is the root of Jiangdong, how can we act rashly? Let me lead a team to rescue the siege!" Sun Yi shook his head and said.Wu Jun is the foundation of the Sun family, and Sun Quan really worked hard on it.Not only are tens of thousands of elite soldiers hoarded, but food reserves are also sufficient. At the same time, deep wells have been dug in the city, and there is no shortage of drinking water.With such a large enemy at hand, with Sun Quan's prudence, he would only send people back to aid Wu County, how could he agree to send troops to rescue?

"Third son!" Gu Yong was shocked when he heard the words, and was about to persuade him again, but he saw that Sun Yi had already waved his hand to stop him and said, "You don't need to say more, Mr. Yuan Tan, the second brother told me to stick to the city and not to fight, but he just said not to fight in Xuzhou Army. Right now, the chaos on the mountain is getting worse and worse. If you don’t give a thunderbolt, the hearts of Danyang will collapse in the long run. I will only lead 1 troops to attack, and you, Yuan Tan, will lead the rest to defend the city.”

"Third Young Master, I'm afraid this is a trick of the Xuzhou Army, trying to lure Third Young Master to send troops!" Gu Yong still bitterly remonstrated.

"Mr. Yuan Tan is worrying too much. He Liu Beizong is very capable, how can he mobilize the Shanyue barbarians?" Sun Yi laughed and said.Gu Yong was also speechless when he heard the words, indeed, no matter how ruthless Liu Bei was, he was not so powerful, but they chose to forget Tao Qian who had been dead for more than six years.

"It's okay for the third son to go, take Yang Zheng with him, and retreat immediately if something goes wrong!" Gu Yong knew that he couldn't stop Sun Yi now, but he still proposed a slightly safer plan.He also knew that although Shanyue was brave and good at fighting, he was also a mob.Once Sun Yi came into contact with them, it would not be a problem to run away even if he was defeated.I'm afraid that he will surge up his blood and fight the enemy to the death, and no matter whether he wins or loses, he will suffer heavy losses.

"I can introspect myself!" Knowing that Gu Yong was cautious, Sun Yi also nodded.After the clothes were neatly dressed, Sun Yi ordered 1 horses, and Yang Zheng, who had come to report the news, as a guide, rushed to Moling to rescue people.

"General, the fish has taken the bait!" In the city dock where the Xuzhou army was stationed in Ruxukou, Pang Tong excitedly burst into the door and said to Zhao Feng.

"Shi Yuan's plan is really ingenious, Sun Yi is worried about his brother's safety, so he will send troops no matter what!" Zhao Feng also laughed when he heard this.Two days ago, he and Pang Tong quietly left Wancheng and came to Ruxukou to arrange this plan to lure the snake out of the cave.Sun Jiao used Shanyue to besiege Moling to lure Sun Yi's main force to attack.Originally, it would be suspicious to attack Moling directly, so Pang Tong asked Shanyue to harass the neighboring counties first.At the same time, Zhao Feng dispatched all the [-] cavalry to Zhang Liao. Among the generals, Zhang Liao is the best at commanding the cavalry. As soon as Sun Yi is dispatched, he will immediately use the cavalry to take advantage of his mobility The characteristics of Sun Yi's army entangled him, and he must seek to annihilate his vital forces in the field.

"Don't worry, general, the people in the south of the Yangtze River don't know how to fight cavalry, and the general is confident that they won't be able to escape!" Zhang Liao said confidently after hearing the words.Since Zhao Yun came to vote, plus the extortion of Lao Cao, and there were still some in Xuzhou, Liu Bei now has more than 2 cavalry from the two states.However, since most of the horses are Yanzhou horses, which are far from Xiliang horses, Youzhou horses, and even Bingzhou horses, the real combat capability of the cavalry is not particularly strong.

In view of this, Zhao Feng specially put a lot of effort into horse equipment.The first is to design the saddle, the second is to change the original single-sided stirrups into two-sided, and the third is to nail the horseshoes, and at the same time let the cavalry wear leather armor to make the horses run faster by reducing the load as much as possible.With such equipment, the cavalry of Xuzhou and Yuzhou were almost all light cavalry. Under the leadership of Zhao Yun, they practiced according to the method Gongsun Zan used to train Baima Yicong, and their power was even better than that of Baima Yicong.Mainly because of the appearance of bilateral stirrups, cavalry can even stand on the horse and ride and shoot calmly, so that the power is more than doubled.

Of course, the most unexpected thing is that due to the appearance of horseshoes, the wear resistance of horses has been greatly improved, and they can run even in the humid Jiangnan.Since Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun were confronting Yuan Shao in Qingzhou, most of the cavalry were transferred there.For Zhao Feng's southern expedition this time, considering that Sun Quan had only two or three thousand cavalry under his command, it was enough to transfer four thousand cavalry directly from Yuzhou.

"Wen Da stayed behind, Wen Yuan led the cavalry to follow the rear, I led the Chinese army to attack head-on, Wen Chang attacked the left, Zhongye attacked the right." After briefly setting out the mission, Zhao Feng led the whole army to prepare to meet Sun Yi.

Besides Sun Yi, the army rushed all the way to Moling after leaving Danyang.However, the Jiangdong army was all on foot. Although it was not far from Danyang to Moling, it was not an instant journey.After running away from the city for tens of miles, Sun Yi also impatiently asked Yang Zheng, who was following him on foot: "Tingchang Yang, how long will it take to arrive?"

"It's almost here!" A strange smile appeared on Yang Zheng's face, and he suddenly drew his knife and slashed at Sun Yi's personal guard on the left. Not alive anymore.Yang Zheng jumped on the opponent's horse without stopping, and then galloped northward at full speed.

"Bastard!" Sun Yi realized that Yang Zhengnai was a spy, and he had already been plotted against by the other party.However, Sun Yi followed his eldest brother Sun Ce to pacify Jiangdong, and later conquered Shanyue many times.

It's just that Zhao Feng and Pang Tong set up this plan to lure the snake out of the hole, how can they allow him to escape easily?Before the formation of the Ten Thousand Jiangdong Army was fully deployed, the sound of horseshoes came from the west.At the same time, there were shouts of killing from the north, east and south, and a circle of encirclement centered on Sun Yi was gradually forming.
