Chapter 150: The situation in Lujiang is not optimistic

Many people will think that if Zhuge Liang wants to kill Zhang Yun, he will just push it out and cut it down? Why so much trouble. Not to mention that Zhang Yun was suspected of blatant disobedience just now.

Not only Zhuge Liang looked at Zhang Yun unpleasantly, but many generals in the army looked at Zhang Yun unpleasantly.

It's just one point, Zhang Yun is timid and afraid of things, greedy for life and afraid of death, but he understands that he is a little better for low-level soldiers. In the original Jingzhou army, there were many soldiers who were grateful to Zhang Yun. Compared with other generals from families who usually do things in a mess, Zhang Yun is quite human. In this year, being a soldier is content to be able to eat a full meal. can be a soldier under Zhang Yun, and from time to time you can get some meat to eat. Zhang Yun occasionally shows kindness, treats his soldiers well, and when he eats meat, he will leave some soup for his subordinates, which is considered very conscientious. This little favor allowed Zhang Yun's prestige in the Jingzhou Army to slowly accumulate, and finally he was second only to Cai Mao. At the same time, the Zhang family in Jingzhou is very powerful, and Zhang Yunnai is the representative of his family. Even now, Zhang Yun still retains great prestige in the Jingzhou army. Otherwise, Liu Yu could have directly removed Zhang Yun before. You must know that in history, Cao Cao killed Zhang Yun by mistake, which led to the departure of Liu Jun in Jingzhou one by one, and finally there was a defeat at Chibi.

Compared with Liu Yujun's abundance of talents, Zhang Yun seems a bit wasted. But in Jingzhou, Zhang Yun is a tall man among short people and a gentleman among perverts. It is just such a little bit that makes Zhuge Liang show mercy to Zhang Yun's subordinates.

Unless it is a last resort, Zhuge Liang is still unwilling to kill Zhang Yun, and he is now thinking about whether to let Zhang Yun leave the army with dignity. This can be regarded as an explanation to Zhang Yun, and at the same time avoid turmoil in Jingzhou.

Jingzhou is now under Zhuge Liang's rule, and he doesn't want any chaos in Jingzhou. If there is chaos in Jingzhou, Liu Yu will be the first to make Zhuge Liang look good. Don't look at Liu Yu's very good and important attention to Zhuge Liang, if Zhuge Liang messes around because of Liu Yu's trust, Liu Yu will use the knife. Zhuge Liang knows this. This is also the real reason why Zhang Yun just shirked and didn't want to go into battle, and Zhuge Liang was not angry yet. Don't think that Zhuge Liang has no thoughts at all, he is still very concerned about his future.

After Zhang Yun was threatened by Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei for a while, he returned to his ship very neatly and began to reorganize his troops and horses, leaving 8,000 sailors, and the rest of the sailors stayed in Jiujiang Port and left Guan Yu behind.

Guan Yu naturally understood that Zhuge Liang left most of the navy army for him. Of course, Guan Yu's attainments in commanding the navy are constantly increasing, so he very unceremoniously pulled the remaining sailors under his command.

Zhang Yun was very depressed and handed over the military power to Guan Yu, he was still the governor of the navy before, and now it has been handed over to Guan Yu, and there may be small shoes to wear in the future.

"What else? The way you walk, you have to walk on your knees. Zhang Yun could only choose to accept his fate.

Zhang Fei's 30,000-strong army immediately boarded the ships one after another.

The quality of Liu's army was not comparable to that of other princes' armies, and their efficiency was extremely high, and it didn't take much time to prepare everything.

Zhang Yun waved his hand, and the entire fleet headed towards the Lujiang River.

In Jiujiang Port, Guan Yu stood beside Zhuge Liang, watched Zhang Feiyuan walk away, and finally asked Zhuge Liang: "Strategist, let's wait here like this?" ”

"Of course! Yuzhang still has a lot to do. Stabilize your heel before you can move forward vigorously. Damn Zhou Yu, next time he lets his military division meet him, he will definitely not be able to be a man! Zhuge Liang left after saying this.

Leaving Guan Yu alone in the wind, the arrogant and dashing Zhuge Liang would actually say such a thing.

The reason is nothing more than that Wen Ping has submitted the situation of Chaisang City to Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang thought that he would have to spend a lot of money and food on Yuzhang's old and weak women and children in the future, not to mention how depressed he was. Zhuge Liang pays attention to steady progress, and Yuzhang must be stable here in order to continue to march. The most important thing in Zhuge Liang's eyes now is to transfer some officials from Jingzhou to supplement Yuzhang County, so as to better receive everything in Yuzhang. As for the battle in Lujiang, Zhuge Liang is a hundred people who can rest assured, and Zhang Liao is a general who is not afraid of death, and he will definitely defend Lujiang. Zhang Fei had 10,000 enemies, coupled with the calm Ma Liang on the side, and Zhang Yunshui's army to stabilize the back road, the battle situation in Lujiang was decided, and Zhuge Liang didn't have to bother.

The distance between Yuzhang and Lujiang is not very far, if it weren't for the sudden attack of the Jiangdong naval army, Zhuge Liang would not have let Zhang Yun escort Zhang Fei.

Jiangdong's obstruction is certain, Zhang Yun, Zhang Fei, Ma Liang and others encountered scattered Jiangdong small water armies along the way, and constantly harassed them. Fortunately, there are 30,000 people on Zhang Fei's side, plus Zhang Yun's 8,000 sailors, a full 38,000 soldiers and horses, and the small sailors in Jiangdong dare not approach when they see such a large formation, and the only thing they can do is to shoot with feather arrows from afar to show their resistance.

For such attacks and harassment, Zhang Yun directly ignored them.

Going down the river, almost no time was wasted, Zhang Fei and they landed.

Thirty thousand soldiers and horses immediately landed from among the ships, and each one of them had a very high fighting spirit. Seeing that Zhang Fei was a little excited.

After the soldiers and horses were reorganized, Zhang Fei and Ma Liang were about to start moving.

Before leaving, Zhang Fei said to Zhang Yun: "Zhang Yun, I hope you can hold this place steadily, and you must not be defeated by Jiangdong." Otherwise, the generals and the soldiers would not be able to contact the military advisors. The stakes are something that you don't need to say to you. ”

It's all on this, if Zhang Yun doesn't work hard, he will be a little incompetent. Zhang Yun led the Jingzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army to fight many times, Zhang Yun had the lives of countless Jiangdong soldiers in his hands, and there was a mortal enmity with Jiangdong, and he had lost the possibility of defecting to Jiangdong. When encountering the Jiangdong Army, Zhang Yun had no choice but to fight with his life. If you were someone else, you would die if you were defeated, and you would die if you surrendered, so you simply chose to fight to the death.

"Rest assured, the general will fight to the death!" Zhang Yun rarely said a sentence from his heart.

Zhang Fei didn't know if what Zhang Yun said was true or false, in short, it was good that Zhang Yun could keep this place well.

Zhang Fei left with 30,000 soldiers and horses and went to support Zhang Liao in Lujiang. But Zhang Yun's heart began to tense. Originally, there were so many people, but Zhang Yun was not much nervous. There were 30,000 fewer people all of a sudden, and Zhang Yun was a little scared.

The first thing Zhang Fei did was to send scouts to inquire about the situation, and ordered them to enter Lujiang to inform Zhang Liao that reinforcements had arrived, if the situation was not very critical.

Ma Liang suggested to Zhang Fei during the march: "General Zhang, why don't you arrange a reserve force of soldiers and horses, and at the same time secretly help Zhang Yun, so as not to cut off our back road." ”

The most important thing in marching and fighting is the ability to continue to attack, and Ma Liang's suggestion is understandable.

Zhang Fei thought about it, he was not at ease with Zhang Yun, and said, "What Mr. Ma said is, just do what you want." ”

Ma Liang said in a panic: "General, you can't be called Mr. below, if you don't dislike it, you can use the words to call you." ”

"That's a good idea!" Zhang Fei is a real person, and if he can be simple, it will be simpler.

Zhang Fei ordered a partial general to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to wait at a distance of three miles from Zhang's army, and once he found that Zhang Yun's side was attacked by Jiangdong, he would immediately go over to support. The remaining 20,000 soldiers and horses marched towards the Lujiang River.

At this time, the situation in Lujiang and Zhang Liao was not so optimistic. Zhang Liao hasn't rested for a long time.

Because at this time, Lujiang City was surrounded by the Cao army and the Jiangdong army. After the two armies converged, they assisted each other in launching repeated attacks on the Lujiang River.

If it weren't for Zhang Liao's full preparation, he really wouldn't have been able to hold it.

The Cao army and the Jiangdong army outside the city combined with 30,000, and the actual strength in Lujiang City was only 3,000, a tenfold difference, but it was such a small number of soldiers and horses, Zhang Liao had resisted until now. Zhang Liao was able to hold on for so long, and the credit should be regarded as Sun Ce's. Why Sun Ce?

It turned out that Sun Ce spent a long time fighting Lujiang at that time, and after taking Lujiang, Lujiang City was almost abandoned. Sun Ce felt the importance of Lujiang City, so he spent a lot of effort to rebuild Lujiang City on the original basis. And even better, Sun Ce even transformed the four walls of the Lujiang River, forming a very towering arrangement of two city walls. If the enemy wants to attack Lujiang, it can only attack on two sides, and if the other two sides want to attack, they can only attack the city gate.

Zhang Liao blocked the other two city gates, and the three thousand soldiers and horses did their best to defend the two city walls next to each other.

Zhang Liao, with the soldiers and civilians of Lujiang City, once again defeated a wave of attacks by the Cao army and the Jiangdong army. Due to excessive casualties, both the Cao army and the Jiangdong army retreated.

Today's Lujiang city walls are full of dead bodies and wounded soldiers. Zhang Liao was also a little injured, so he was fine.

Zhang Liao took advantage of the gap to recover his strength, and he knew that the enemy forces outside the city would soon continue to attack.

The wounded were bandaged by unwounded soldiers, and if they were too badly wounded, the people would carry them down the walls.

Chen Zhi and Mi Fang came to Zhang Liao's side and brought Zhang Liao a flatbread and a pot of water. Zhang Liao didn't say a word, just took it and ate it. Chen Zhi and Mi Fang were also injured, and at this time they silently watched Zhang Liao eat and did not dare to disturb.

Zhang Liao finished eating after dividing five by two, and Mi Fang said: "General Wenyuan, the last general just counted it, and our army can continue to fight now with only 1,500 people. ”

"More than half of the casualties!" Zhang Liao's face was gloomy.

There were too many enemies outside the city, and Zhang Liao didn't have such large casualties on his side, so it was impossible to hold on until now.

Chen Zhi said worriedly: "General, the morale of the soldiers is low, if the reinforcements are not yet available, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out for long." ”

"Zifang, you take some people down to prepare, if you can't hold it, you will burn the entire Lujiang River." Zhang Liao has already begun to plan for the worst.

Mi Fang was silent for a while, and finally silently ordered a dozen soldiers to go down.

Rather than recapture the entire Lujiang City to the Cao Army and the Jiangdong Army, it is better to destroy it in your own hands.

Zhang Liao said to Chen Zhi: "Uncle Zhi, if you can't hold it later, you will leave here with a part of the soldiers and horses and the sub-party." ”

Zhang Liao was kind-hearted, but Chen felt insulted, and said excitedly: "General, what did you say?" Are you going to be a coward who escapes? ”

Zhang Liao slapped Chen Zhi fiercely, making Chen Zhi stunned.

"Remember! This will be your superior, and what he just said is a military order. You can't disobey your orders! Zhang Liao used military orders to suppress Chen.

Chen Zhi is a young man that Zhang Liao admires very much, and his future is limitless. If Lujiang can't be defended, Zhang Liao will be destroyed along with Lujiang City. After all, the destruction of Lujiang City is a very important matter for the imperial court, and it will affect the imperial court's recovery of Jiangdong in the future. Someone has to be responsible for this. And Zhang Liao believes that he is the best candidate as the main general. Chen still has a long way to go in the future, and it can't be wasted here.

As for Mi Fang, Zhang Liao felt that he was enough to take responsibility alone, but Mi Fang still followed Chen Zhi to leave.

Chen Zhi covered his face, he understood Zhang Liao's hard work, with tears in his eyes, and said, "The last general will take the order." ”

Hearing that Chen Zhi had obeyed the order, Zhang Liao was very relieved, and said softly: "Shuzhi, you are still young and can't die here." ”

Chen Zhi nodded silently, Zhang Liao was good to him, he knew.

In the positions of the Cao Army and the Jiangdong Army outside the city, Tai Shici and Xiahou Yuan were angry at the defeated and retreating troops.

"Why is this Lujiang City so strong, and it is designed like this, so many attacks, it can't be taken down!" Xiahou Yuan looked at Lujiang City and said angrily.

Tai Shici was very embarrassed, and the reason why Lujiang City was so strong was because of Sun Ce. But the fortified city was attacked by Zhang Liao before it was done.

This time, Cao Cao sent Xiahou Yuan, which was considered to be a great face-saving for Sun Ce.

But Xiahou Yuan has always looked down on the Jiangdong Army, and it is very unhappy to join forces with the Jiangdong Army.

This time he repeatedly attacked Lujiang City, and Xiahou Yuan hated Sun Ce to death. Of course, he knew that Lujiang City was specially designed by Sun Ce. Cao Cao's intelligence organization is not a dry meal.

Xiahouen has always been by Xiahou Yuan's side, and after observing for a while, he said to Xiahou Yuan: "Uncle, nephew, I see that there are not many troops on the city wall, maybe as long as there is one more attack, Lujiang City can be taken." ”

Xiahou Yuan said to Tai Shi Ci: "General Tai Shi, what do you think? ”

Tai Shi Ci was a little speechless, you have a conversation with each other, why are you pulling me?

"Zhang Liao's troops and horses are not much left, or many rounds of attacks will take Lujiang City." Tai Shici agreed with Xia Houen's judgment.

"Then how about General Taishi leading the troops to attack next?" Xiahou Yuan suggested.
