After Cheng Pu's withdrawal, Liu Xiu's soldiers took a rest for a day, and then began to move quickly. All the way east from Anlu County, the army swept all the way. From this level of analysis, we can see Huang Zu's prestige in Jiangxia county. Once the army arrived, the counties quickly attached.

While Liu Xiu and Huang Zu were sweeping, more than 4000 soldiers led by Cheng Pu and Han Dang arrived in Xiling county.

Then Ling Tong and Gan Ning arrived with their troops.

When the three armies joined forces, they directly entered Xiling city.

Xiling county is the seat of Jiangxia County, with a large city. The general was named fan Tu, a valiant general sent by Cheng PU. Cheng Pu was discussing affairs at the prefect's office in the city. He looked at fan Tu and asked, "fan Tu, did Jingzhou soldiers come to invade when he was going to leave?"

Fan Tu shook his head and said, "no!"

Cheng Pu asked again, "what about Xiazhi county and Qichun county?"

Fan Tu also said: "according to the current information, Jingzhou soldiers directly captured e County and Ying County in the southeast of Xiling City, and then captured Xiazhi county and Qichun county. Now, Xiling is a lonely city. "

Brush!

Cheng Pu's face suddenly changed.

The retreat from Anlu county to Xiling city was not ambushed, and it was very smooth.

It turned out that Liu Xiu's army had cut off the retreat.

At this time, the expression on the faces of Ling Tong, Gan Ning and others was quite dignified.

Although Xiling city is strong enough to withstand tens of thousands of troops, how long can it last? Especially when the back road is cut off, Cheng Pu and his party are all alone.

Will you withdraw immediately?

In Cheng Pu's heart, this kind of thought came out.

However, once we withdraw from Xiling City, it will be very difficult to capture it again.

Cheng Pu took a deep breath and said, "you all know the current situation of Xiling city. Now, we all understand the difficulties we are facing. Let's talk about our own ideas. "

Han Dang squinted and said, "fight to the death! Fight to the death! I, the son of Jiangdong, am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. This war must be fought to the end with Liu Xiu. "

At this time, Han Dang had been blindfolded by hatred.

There was only one idea in his mind - to kill Liu Xiu and avenge the death of Huang Gai.

Even if he is dead, he will achieve this goal.

After listening to Han Dang's words, Cheng Pu shakes his head and looks at other people.

Ling Tong then said, "general Cheng, I think we should stick to it."

"Why?" Cheng asked

Lingtong's eyes were firm, and said: "the Xiling city in nuota has a high and thick wall. It's not so easy to attack."

"At the beginning, Liu Bei led tens of thousands of troops to attack Xiangyang City, but he failed to break through Xiangyang City. Instead, he killed himself. Xiling city is not as strong as Xiangyang City, but it can't be won without 10000 or 20000 people. "

"At the beginning, we were able to capture Xiling city successfully because Huang Zu fled all the way and didn't want to resist with the help of Xiling city. As soon as he fled, the morale of the army broke up and all the counties surrendered directly. "

"That's why we can seize Xiling city."

"Now, if we retreat and want to control Xiling City, it will be very difficult."

"On the contrary, we stick to Xiling city. Not to say much, I will stick to it for ten days and a half months, even about January. At that time, as long as the governor or the Lord sends troops to support Jiangxia County, we will be able to stand firm and nail a thorn in Jiangxia County, making Jiangxia County restless. "

Ling Tong said: "even if we can't hold it, we can at least hold down Liu Xiu's pace and consume Liu Xiu's troops by a large margin. I suggest staying in Xiangyang for the time being. "

After listening to the complete analysis, Cheng Pu's eyes showed a touch of appreciation.

Ling Tong's analysis is in line with Cheng Pu's appetite.

The situation in Jiangdong is not good. Once we withdraw from Xiling now, it means that we will throw away the advantage we have. Such a result is not what Cheng Pu hopes.

As long as we keep Xiling City, the benefits are obvious.

Ganning said: "I think Lingtong's analysis is reasonable. But it is not easy to stick to Xiling. Is there enough food? Is there enough weapons? "

Cheng Pu looked at fantu and asked, "what about the weapons and food in the city?"

Fan Tu said with a smile: "don't worry, general. It's not a problem for another three or five months. As for bow and arrow equipment, it is also sufficient at present. And there are craftsmen in the city who can make weapons constantly. "

Gan Ning nodded and stopped asking.

However, his heart is still full of worries. He used to be a Jinfan thief, and he had a lot of intuition about danger. Back in Xiling City, he felt inexplicably worried. This feeling is very uncomfortable, as if there is always a sword hanging overhead.

Cheng Pu listened to the public's opinions and said, "since this is the case, we will stick to Xiling city."

Everyone nodded and agreed with Cheng PU.Cheng Pu said, "come back from Anlu county. We've been working hard all the way. Let's go down and have a rest. Be careful."

On hearing this, Han Dang said with a smile: "de Mou, Liu Xiu is powerful, but he is not a demon. You're too careful. I think you're afraid of Liu Xiu. That's too bad. "

Cheng Pu didn't want to argue, but said, "Han Dang, I have my own opinion."

Han Dang got up and left the hall.

When they were ordered, they got up and left.

Cheng Pu wrote two more letters. Then he called for the soldiers to leave the city immediately and sent them to Wuxian county and Yuzhang county. One is for Sun Quan and the other is for Zhou Yu, which explains the reason for staying in Xiling city.

After the arrangement, Cheng Pu left the county government and went to the barracks in the city. Cheng Pu knows that as long as he controls the barracks, no matter what, he will never make a big mistake.

On April nights, the moon is like a hook.

Xiling City, a residence in the west of the city.

The hall is brightly lit.

Pang Tong was dressed in a black robe, sitting upright, with a group of generals standing below. After the army occupied Shaxian County, Pang Tong began to divide his forces and quickly occupied Ying County, e County, Qichun county and Xiazhi County in the southeast of Xiling County, cutting off the retreat of Xiling county.

Among the four counties, e County, Qichun county and pangtong county have 1000 troops respectively; Ying county and Xiazhi county have 1500 troops respectively. Out of the 5000 soldiers, Pang Tong and shamoko had 3000 barbarians.

Pang Tongqiao ran took the barbarians to Xiling city. When he arrived, Cheng Pu and his party had not come back. Pang Tong and shamoko led the army to hide, and then inquired for information.

After some investigation, we learned that the garrison was fan Tu.

However, although fan TU was stationed in the city, he did not set up checkpoints under the city and did not check the people in and out.

In this way, Pang Tong made a plan to attack the city.

If Cheng Pu knows that Xiazhi County, Qichun county and other places will continue to withdraw after being attacked, then the barbarians stationed in each county will attack Cheng PU. While Cheng Pu stayed, he attacked in the city. So Pang Tong left a thousand barbarians outside the city, and then divided the remaining two thousand into parts, all with the clothes of ordinary people, and entered the city pretty.

Being able to enter depends on fan Tu's negligence.

After entering the city, Pang Tong first contacted the big families of Xiling city.

Now the situation in Jiangxia county is known to all the families, especially the news of Liu xiusha's return has already spread. All the families knew that Jiangxia county would be restored, so Pang Tongyi summoned them, and everyone was willing to listen to Pang Tong's arrangement.

After discussing the countermeasures with the people of the major families, Pang Tong waited in the city for Cheng Pu and others to come back.

As soon as Cheng Pu came back, the news spread to Pang Tong.

People from all the major families also sent people to ask when to take action. Pang Tong replied one by one and asked the major families in Xiling city to wait and wait for the news.

"Step on it! Step on it

The sound of rapid footsteps suddenly came in from outside the hall.

After the barbarians entered, they reported: "the military division, it's only a quarter of an hour before the time of the year. The major families have sent people to ask if they can give orders."

But Pang Tong shook his head and said, "don't worry. Isn't there a quarter of an hour left? Wait a minute. "

Pang Tong took a sip of tea and sat upright, looking very calm. Since he followed Liu Xiu, he has participated in all kinds of wars. From the excitement of participating in the war planning at the beginning, to gradually, he has become calm and comfortable, and has been used to it for a long time.

Barbarians see this, but can only obediently wait.
