After Pan Zhang said goodbye to Chen Wu, he rode his horse to Sun Quan's tent. Sun Quan's personal general Gu Li happened to be outside the big tent, and when he saw Pan Zhang's embarrassment, he couldn't help but be surprised, and stepped forward to ask, "General Pan, why do you look like this?" ”

Pan Zhang showed shame, knelt down on his knees, and bowed: "Please also report to Wu Hou." I have been defeated and begged, and I have come to ask for sin. ”

Gu Li understood, sighed, and pressed his sword into the big tent. In the tent, Sun Quan sat on the northern throne and looked down at the desk, on which was a topographic map of Jingzhou, and Sun Quan showed a sad look on his face.

"What?" Sun Quan heard the movement and raised his head and asked.

"Report to Wu Hou. General Pan was defeated and returned. Gu Li bowed and said. Sun Quan's face changed, his right hand held his forehead, Gu Li was shocked, and he had to step forward. Sun Quan waved his hand and said to Gu Li: "It's lonely. ”

Immediately, Sun Quan calmed down and said to Gu Li: "Call General Pan in." ”

"No." Gu Li promised, turned around and went down and returned to the tent with Pan Zhang.

"Wu Hou. Pan Zhang is incompetent. Pan Zhang knelt down again and bowed to the ground. Sun Quan smiled, got up from his seat, helped Pan Zhang, and said with relief: "Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and General Pan doesn't have to be like this." ”

Immediately, Sun Quan kindly asked Pan Zhang to sit down, and ordered Gu Li to bring water to wash Pan Zhang. Then Sun Quan asked, "How many troops did Guan Ping raise?" Geometry of fine nails? How long does it take? ”

Sun Quan was extremely kind and relieved, but Pan Zhang became more and more ashamed and sighed: "There are about more than 10,000 people in the army. There are more than 3,000 fine armor. It took half an hour. ”

Sun Quan was silent for a moment when he heard this, although he also guessed that Pan Zhang's defeat was extremely miserable, but he didn't expect such a tragic situation.

3,000 elite soldiers, guarding the camp, but was broken by more than 10,000 soldiers within half an hour.

It's miserable.

But on the other hand, the opponent's soldiers and horses are really fierce. There are more than 3,000 fine armors. Among the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, there are more than 3,000 fine armor, which is at least a quarter of the armor rate.

In the whole world, I am afraid that only Cao Jun can compete with Guan Ping.

Anyway, Jiangdong does not have such financial resources. For example, there were more than 5,000 people under Pan Zhang's command, but the armor rate was only 10%, that is, more than 500 people in an army.

At this moment, Sun Quan regretted it a little. In the past, Guan Ping promoted Mi's wine for Liu Bei and arrived in Jiangdong, but he also helped.

At that time, it was hoped that Liu Bei could help in front to defend Cao Cao from going south. Unexpectedly, things have developed to this point.

Liu Bei, the person who built the nest, died first, Guan Yu succeeded to the throne, sat in the big house, and then swept Jingxiang, becoming the current Jiangdong rival.

It's really changing, like a dream.

I knew, hey.

"The enemy is outnumbered, and the opponent has a lot of fine armor. The defeat of the general is also reasonable. Generals need not be discouraged. I sent the general to Danyang. Give baggage, money and food. The general led the rest of his men and horses to go, recruited 5,000 soldiers, and cast iron armor. Regroup, and fight again in the coming days. ”

Sun Quan is still generous, not only to compensate, but also to cheer up, and to encourage.

"Wu Hou." Pan Zhang thought that the general of the defeated army, wearing the guilt, was ready to engage in military law, but he didn't expect Sun Quan to not only comfort him, but also continue to reuse him. Bow your head deeply, shame and gratitude coexist.

I have to admit that Sun Quan is really a master for a while, a person who can get the power of death.

Handled very well.

Since Pan Zhang's army was defeated, it is useless to pursue responsibility. And Pan Zhang is brave and good at fighting, and killing him is detrimental. It is better to use words of comfort to encourage their hearts, and then use them all the time.

After this defeat, Sun Quan also believed that Pan Zhang would definitely mature a lot. After that, Sun Quan asked Gu Li to take Pan Zhang down, and personally wrote the document and stamped it with a big seal.

Tomorrow, Pan Zhang will be sent to Danyang to recruit troops.

After properly handling the matter, Sun Quan had the time to sit down and consider the current situation. The rest of the overall situation remains the same, and it has been arranged before.

It's just that I didn't expect Pan Zhang to lose so quickly, and now he has lost his name, and Guan Ping will inevitably be stationed in Mingqiu, eyeing him.

On the flanks of the Western Front, there was no escort.

Sun Quan was silent for a moment and wrote a letter of pleading. sent someone to send it to Yan Yan.

Above the Yangtze River, the waves are calm. Yan Yan commanded countless warships, large and small, down the river, and went to seek fame. He accepted Sun Quan's request and planned to send troops to help Pan Zhangzhen defend his name.

Yan Yan also knew that Guan Ping had attacked the three counties of Wuling, Guiyang, and Lingling, and at present, Ma Liang led his troops at the mouth of the Youjiang River to confront Lusu.

The situation in Jingzhou began to reverse.

Although the current situation is still stable for Sun Quan, although Jiangdong has lost three counties, the soldiers and horses have not been damaged. The Jiangbei territory controlled is also firmly controlled.

But Yan Yan has realized that I am afraid that the situation has changed recently. Yan Yan was ordered to fight this time, and he was extremely sincere.

Liu Zhang ordered Yan Yan and vigorously supported Sun Quan. And Yan Yan also knew that if he couldn't help Sun Quan gain a foothold, Guan Ping would have to send troops to Yizhou.

This lip is dead and the teeth are cold.

Therefore, after Yan Yan received Sun Quan's letter, he immediately demolished the water village, and the water army floated to the river to support Mingqiu. Yan Yan stood at the bow of the boat, facing the wind, his hair was flying, and his face was gloomy.

At this moment, a ship with the flag of "Wu" was quickly leaning towards the ship where Yan Yan was, and the ship stopped.

Yan Yan also ordered the warship to stop. Someone from the Wu army got off the boat, boarded Yan Yan's warship, and handed a letter to Yan Yan.

Yan Yan opened the silk cloth and looked at it, and sighed. "Keep going."

So the Yizhou Water Infantry Army continued to move forward. Yan Yan's army crossed Mingqiu and headed for Jiangling Water Village. After arriving near the Jiangling Water Village, Yan Yan led his troops to set up camp on the west side of Sun Quan's Jiangling Water Village, in order to help Sun Quan defend the safety of the west side.

Yan Yan can be regarded as fighting, as long as he can help Sun Quan gain a foothold in Jiangbei, it doesn't matter if he has a good foundation.

Of course, Guan Ping didn't have the ability to attack Yan Yan, he only recuperated.

The battle on the Western Front came to an end, and Emalen broke through Wuling, surrendered Lingling and Guiyang, and led his troops to confront Lusu at the mouth of the Youjiang River.

With Guan Ping, he broke Pan Zhang, collected 1,000 prisoners, took more than 500 fine armor, captured Mingqiu, and came to an end.

The war on the Eastern Front was also in full swing.

On the eastern front, Guanping had more than 10,000 troops led by the general Wang Wei, and more than 5,000 troops each led by Huang Zhong, Wang Wei, and Liao Hua, all of whom were naval armies.

Jiang Wan, Chen Lan, Lei Xu, and Deng Fang each led more than 5,000 troops, all of whom were infantry troops. Among them, Deng Fang's department is Chen Zhi's general, the most elite, and the armor rate is extremely high.

On the Jiangdong side, there are Zhu Zhi, Zhu Ran led 20,000 sailors, and Zhuge Jin led 10,000 sailors, all of which were in Exian County.

The Guan family's actions did not cooperate, and there was no way to cooperate. After Ma Liang sent troops to capture Wuling, he delivered the news to the outside world.

And Lu Su was the first to receive the news that Wuling had been breached, and immediately spread the news. The Guan family hoarded heavy troops in the Anlu area, and Zhu Zhi was a general, and when the news reached Exian, Zhu Zhi took action.

When the news arrived in Exian, it was already dark. Zhu Zhi, Zhu Ran, and Zhuge Jin are all in the water village and live in their respective tents.

When the news came, Zhu Zhi was already asleep. When he heard the news, he immediately lifted the futon, ordered his soldiers to hold the lamp, and ordered the soldiers to call Zhu Ran and Zhuge Jin to come over, and then began to dress himself.

When Zhu Ran and Zhuge Jin entered the big tent, Zhu Zhi was already dressed and sat down to look at the map.

"General (father)."

Zhu Ran and Zhuge Jin saluted Zhu Zhi together, Zhu Zhi waved his hand to signal that there was no need to be polite, and then called the two over, and the three of them sat in front of the map.

Zhu Zhi said: "Lu Zijing sent news that Ma Liang recruited Shamoke, and Shamoke led his troops to attack Wuling, I am afraid that Guiyang and Lingling will not be protected." At present, Ma Liang should be confronting Lu Su. Since Ma Liang has acted, Jiang Wan of An Lu will inevitably act. According to the report from the spies, Jiang Wan's army is more than 40,000 and nearly 50,000, while we only have 30,000 sailors. ”

Zhu Ran and Zhuge Jin were taken aback, and each frowned. Neither of them was as old as Zhu Zhi, and their minds floated for a moment, and then they settled down.

"Father, we have few soldiers and can't hold so many places. And Jiangxia Chongcheng, only Xiling City. Exian County. It is better to order me to lead 5,000 troops and garrison Xiling City. Please ask Mr. Zhuge to lead 5,000 troops to guard Exian County. And father, you led the water army, facing Wang Weijiang North Water Village. ”

Zhu Ran looked down at the map, thought about it for a while, and said.

Zhu Zhi nodded when he heard this, and said: "There is growth, and planning coincides with being a father." After saying that, Zhu Zhi ordered: "Zhu Ran listens to the order." ”

"Father." Zhu Ran got up and took three steps back and bowed to Zhu Zhi.

"Order you to lead 5,000 troops, bring enough dry food, and rush to Xiling to garrison in the starry night." Zhu Zhi ordered.

"No." Zhu Ran agreed, said goodbye to Zhu Zhi, and hurriedly went down to order troops. The whole water village was lit up, and the soldiers were noisy and noisy, and then five thousand elite soldiers were raised, and they rushed to Xiling with Zhu Ran to collect it.

After Zhu Ran left, Zhu Zhi ordered Zhuge Jin to lead 5,000 elite soldiers out of the camp and go to Exian to defend the city. And in such a big place as Jiangxia, the most important places are these two cities.

The city was strong and high, and it had a moat.

5,000 elite soldiers can be guarded for a long time.

Zhu Zhi is not afraid of losing Jiangxia in a short time, as for the navy, it will be set off tomorrow. But Zhu Zhi also has concerns.

At this moment, Zhu Ran and Zhuge Jin had already led their troops to leave. The camp was quiet again. Zhu Zhi couldn't sleep, wearing a big coat, sitting on the main seat, looking at the map. The oil lamp gradually dimmed, and Zhu Zhi stirred the wick, causing the oil lamp to light up again.

"The Yangtze River is difficult to cross, but Jiang Wan has many soldiers and a naval army. It is not impossible to divide troops and forcibly cross the river. Xiling, the two cities of Exian County can be guarded. However, whether it can be held for a long time depends on the development of the situation. What does the battle lie ahead? What else does Guan Ping have planned? ”

Zhu Zhi looked at the topographic map of Jingzhou and only felt extremely worried.

The situation changed so quickly that I was caught off guard. Shamoke's brute army actually made the situation in Jingzhou like this.

Hateful.
