Shu Han Confucian General of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 96
"What?" Before Zhou Yu could answer, Cheng Pu angrily stepped forward and grabbed the pawn who reported the letter, saying angrily, "How could Wu County fall? Wu County has [-] elite soldiers guarding it, [-]! You are [-]!" A steamed bun, Liu Bei will never eat it all in one night! Disturbing the morale of the army, what is the crime?"

"General, Liu Bei's banner has already been hung on the head of Wujun City!" Cheng Pu forced the pawn up, but he still said weakly.Hearing this, Cheng Pu seemed to lose all his strength in an instant, let go of his hand and put him down.At this moment, another small school came running out of breath and said out of breath: "Captain, something is wrong. A force of about 3 people in Wujun City is coming to Shentingling. There are less than ten miles left!"

"That's because Liu Bei stabilized the situation and sent people to support Zhao Feng." Zhou Yu said slowly.His voice was still calm, but there was an indescribable sense of fatigue. "The rear army has changed to the front army, withdraw!" Zhou Yu waved his hand and gave the order.

"Captain, where are you going to retreat?" Tai Shici calmed down and asked.

"Withdraw from Yuzhang, and at the same time send people to inquire about the whereabouts of the lord. If the lord can escape, he must go to Kuaiji or Luling, and send people to inquire." After Zhou Yu explained the last sentence, he turned his horse's head and left. The rest of the generals followed, only Cheng Pu kept watching Wu Jun from a distance, but tears fell silently.

Jiangdong, it's over!
"General, the fake man has withdrawn!" Chen Dao said out of breath, and then sat down on the ground.At the same time, Hao Zhao from Houshan also sent someone to report that the reinforcements had arrived, and the banner should be Li Tong.

"Huh!" Zhao Feng let out a long breath, and sat down on the ground a little tiredly. Although the injury on his shoulder had been bandaged briefly, it was still aching.At this time, when he was commanding the battle just now, he was shot with an arrow by a Jiangdong Army Sima. Of course, the fellow immediately asked Huang Zhong to kill him with an arrow.

Thinking of this, Zhao Feng also turned his head to look at Huang Zhong, the latter was even more unbearable, lying there while panting.Not long after, Li Tong's reinforcements also arrived, "Is General Zhao all right?" Li Tong's voice was heard from a distance down the mountain.

"Wenda, I'm here!" Zhao Feng replied out of breath, but he didn't have the strength to stand up to greet him for a moment.Li Tong ran up the mountain, seeing that Zhao Feng's shoulder injury was not serious, so he felt relieved. "Wen Da, how is Wu Jun going?" Zhao Feng took a few breaths and hurriedly asked the most important question.

"Everything is going well. Our army has occupied Wu County. My lord, when the situation stabilizes, I will send me and 5000 troops to support the general first." Li Tong briefly explained the situation.

"How is Sun Quan?" Zhao Feng asked again, as long as Sun Quan is caught, it will get twice the result with half the effort.

"Let him run away!" Li Tong said angrily.It turned out that Sun Quan ran away from the east gate when he saw that the city was about to collapse.After Xuzhou's army divided up to stop them, after all, there were not too many people, and Sun Quan's personal guard Xiefan army was indeed brave and good at fighting, which made him stand out from the encirclement.Not only that, even many important officials like Zhang Zhao ran away, and Sun Quan's family also ran away with him.Although Liu Bei sent people to chase him, Sun Quan had already prepared his boat, and after only a few miles, he boarded a boat and headed south, apparently going to Kuaiji.

"So that's how it is!" Zhao Feng felt a little regretful after learning what had happened, but now that Wu County, the richest of the six Jiangdong counties, and Danyang, which produced troops, had already been captured, Sun Quan would have nothing to do even if he went to Kuaiji.After thinking about this point, Zhao Feng felt much better, and after taking a rest, he and Li Tong went to Wu County to join Liu Bei's army.

"Is Bo Tao's injury okay?" Liu Bei was also a little nervous when he saw Ai hanging his arms back.After learning that the latter was fine, Liu Bei also felt relieved.At this time, Lu Su began to report to Liu Bei the overall situation of the battle.

Of the 2000 Xuzhou army, about 5000 were killed in the battle to capture Wujun, more than 6000 were seriously injured, and [-] were slightly injured.The road that Zhao Feng blocked was even worse. Out of the [-] people, [-] were killed, and the remaining excluding those with minor or serious injuries, only [-] people could continue to fight. The entire Xuzhou army suffered nearly [-] casualties.

Of course, the Jiangdong Army didn't get any cheap.Of the 6000 defenders in Wujun, about 1 people fled south with Sun Quan, and nearly 2 of them died, and the rest were captured.As for Zhou Yu also dropped more than [-] corpses in Shentingling, of course, there was not a single prisoner.Nearly [-] people died in just one night of fierce fighting, which is enough to see the fierceness of the battle.

"After this battle, only Kuaiji, Luling, Yuzhang, and Poyang were left under Sun Quan's rule, and his army and horses were only [-] to [-], and his vitality was greatly damaged!" Lu Su finally concluded.It can be seen that he is also a little excited, the last sentence is called impassioned.

"It's so good!" Liu Bei was also very satisfied when he heard this.The next step is the mission planning for the next stage. After this battle, the Xuzhou Army needs to take a good rest no matter what.First, the county soldiers were dispatched from Xuzhou to guard the city, and the captives were also selected for reorganization and training to supplement the battle losses. These tasks will be carried out in an orderly manner.Another thing is to reassure people. Wu County is the foundation of the Sun family. Once it is established, if it is not properly managed, there will inevitably be hidden dangers in the future. This requires Lu Su and others to worry about it. Jiang Wan came here.Of course, the rest of the counties should be pacified as soon as possible. Gao Lan and Wenpin were sent to lead [-] troops each to pacify the remaining counties of Wu County.

As for the direction of the next advance, Pang Tong, Lu Su, and Zhao Feng all believed that since the Jingzhou Army could no longer be counted on, we might as well do our own thing and take Kuaiji and Poyang with all our strength. Let's see if the Jingzhou army has the ability to take it by itself.Liu Bei didn't object either, and he wasn't too willing to make wedding clothes for others, but out of politeness, he immediately sent envoys to contact the Jingzhou army on the day Wu County was captured to see how the situation was going.

However, what happened next was almost beyond everyone's expectations.

"Gongji, Chengyuan, why are you here?" After evacuating from Shenting Ridge, the Jiangdong Army marched west for only a few dozen miles, not wanting to meet a messy Jiangdong Army head-on, but the two leaders stayed behind in Yuzhang When Zhou Yu saw Ding Feng and Ling Tong, Zhou Yu immediately had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"Governor, just after your army left, the Jingzhou Army suddenly joined forces with the Xuzhou Army to attack across the river. We were caught off guard and defeated by them. My father was already dead! With 3000 defenders, only [-] of us are left! After Ling Tong saw Zhou Yu, his nerves, which had been tense for many days, relaxed.After briefly talking about the situation, he couldn't help crying on the spot.

It turned out that on the second day after Zhou Yu set fire to Liu Pan and defeated the Jingzhou Army, Kuai Liang, who had been sent by Liu Biao to support Liu Pan, led [-] new troops to Ganjiang, only to find out that Liu Pan had just lost another game.But Kuai Liang was very wise. He was keenly aware that Zhou Yu would return to aid Wujun once he won, and the Yuzhang guards would inevitably be empty, so he immediately persuaded Liu Pan to regroup the army and fight again.At the same time, he also sent people to join forces with Gan Ning and Guan Ping from Lujiang to dispatch troops. Under the attack of the two groups of troops, Ling Cao, his father and son and Ding Feng who stayed in Yuzhang failed to withstand after all. Arrows shot to death, Ling Tong and Ding Feng led the army to fight to the death to break out of the encirclement.

"What?" Zhou Yu was also shocked when he heard the words, and then asked with some concern: "Then why don't you go to Poyang?"

Sure enough, Ding Feng said: "I waited to break out of the siege to join the army. I wanted to enter Poyang and wait for help. I didn't want Poyang to be besieged by tens of thousands of Vietnamese troops. I have few soldiers and I can't kill them. I had to come to Poyang first. Most of the governors!"

"What? Tens of thousands of mountains?" Zhou Yu's mind was blank after hearing the words. Only Cheng Pu's son Cheng Zi led 5000 people to garrison Poyang. Now he is surrounded by tens of thousands of mountains. .Although I still have nearly 4 people under my command, once I go to rescue Poyang, if I get entangled with the Jingzhou Army or Xuzhou Army again, I am afraid that I will also get involved with the troops in my hands.What's more, now that Sun Quan's whereabouts are unknown, he can no longer spend this last capital casually.

"Go south, to Luling!" Zhou Yu wanted to understand this, and ordered through gritted teeth. "Governor?" Huang Gai and Tai Shici were anxious when they heard the words, but Cheng Pu said a little weakly: "Let's go south and listen to the Great Governor."

"Demou!" Huang Gai was also stunned when he heard the words, but when he looked back, he saw his old friend watching Poyang, where his son was, crying silently, but he opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.

"Let's go!" Looking back at Poyang, Zhou Yu gritted his teeth and turned his horse's head to the south first.Xiao Qiao was in Poyang, and Zhou Yu knew very well what would happen to his beautiful wife if those savage Shanyue broke through the city and fell into their hands.

"Ah!" Zhou Yu yelled like a wounded beast while galloping wildly.

"My lord, leader Yan Peng is here!" The next day, an uninvited guest came to Wu County. "I've met Uncle Liu Huang!" Yan Peng saluted Liu Bei meticulously. "Why does Chief Yan need to be so polite, why does the unknown chief come to Beisuo at this time?" Liu Bei asked in surprise.

After Yan Peng sat down, he explained his purpose of coming.This Yan Peng is the nephew of Yan Baihu, the former leader of Shanyue, and the son of his younger brother Yan Yu.When Sun Ce conquered Jiangdong, Yan Baihu sent Yan Yu to negotiate with Sun Ce.Sun Ce hosted a banquet in honor of Yan Yu, but during the banquet, he suddenly hacked him to death, and then started a war with Yan Baihu.

When watching "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in his previous life, Zhao Feng felt that Sun Ce's behavior was somewhat disapproving.It should be said that there are also Hongmen banquets, and there are also people who kill envoys, but it is a bit unreasonable to chop up the envoys in the middle of the meal.After Yan Baihu's defeat, there were few survivors in the whole family. Only Yan Peng was recruited as his son-in-law by Pan Lin, the leader of Yuzhang Mountain, who happened to be away from Wu County at the time, so he survived.

This time Liu Bei united with Shanyue in name, but in fact they didn't let them fight any big battles. The main thing was to harass the counties in Danyang to lure snakes out of their holes.After the event was completed, the Shanyue people also began to migrate to Yuzhou according to the agreement.However, Yan Peng is more sensitive to grievances and grievances. He deeply feels that Liu Bei's great kindness will inevitably make him feel uneasy. Just as the Jingzhou army attacked Yuzhang, he immediately persuaded his father-in-law to send troops to besiege Poyang and fight for Liu Bei before he left.After besieging the city, Yan Peng personally came to explain the situation to Liu Bei.

"So that's how it is!" Liu Bei and the others suddenly realized when they heard the words. "Poyang has been besieged by groups of warriors from our clan, but we lack the siege equipment and cannot attack the city. Please also ask Uncle Liu to send troops with equipment to help!" Yan Peng finally said, even the news that the Jingzhou army attacked Yuzhang was still the same. What he told Liu Bei by the way was half a day earlier than the envoy sent by Liu Bei found out.

Things are changing!Zhao Feng sighed.Who would have thought that the Jingzhou army, which had been despised all the time, would turn salty fish over, but Yan Peng had good intentions, and Liu Bei couldn't bear to rebel, let alone when this ready-made advantage would not be taken advantage of? .Since Gao Lan and Wenpin were still conquering the counties, and Zhao Feng and others had met them a few times when they contacted Shanyue before, and they had some friendship, Liu Bei immediately asked Zhao Feng to lead 1 people to carry thunderbolt chariots and ballistas to join the The Shanyue Army captured Poyang.

"What's this called!" After resting for less than a day, Zhao Feng led his army westward again in a daze.When passing by Shenting Ridge, the battlefield there has not been cleaned up yet.Looking at Tupo, where he was beaten badly the day before, Zhao Feng was also quite emotional. In just one day, I, Hu Hansan, had changed my appearance and attacked again.Jiangdong, are you trembling?
