Chapter 221: Battle of Wanling (2)
As the landlord, the Zhang family personally presided over the meeting and said: "If you can come here, you must have already known the news that Zhu Zhi's army was destroyed, and the army of the Hou General was about to come to the city, right?" Wanling City is empty of troops, Sun Quan Xiao'er will definitely order us and other scholars to help him defend the city, if the old man expects it to be good, he will definitely send someone to come soon, how should we deal with it, I don't know if you are virtuous to deal with it? ”
The resources of Wanling City are limited, and various frictions and contradictions are inevitable between the scholars and the heroes, but the interests of the scholars of all surnames are the same.
As soon as the head of the Zhang family finished speaking, he heard the head of the Li family continue: "Although the troops in Wanling City are empty, there are still 5,000 elites left in the Jiangdong army, plus Sun Quan Xiao'er has just recruited more than 3,000 elites, the combat power of Jiangdong soldiers and horses is still not to be underestimated, although it is not enough to defend the city under the army of the general, but if they want to do something to us, it will be more than enough!" We and the other scholars are united in the same spirit, and when they are in danger again, they should advance and retreat together, I don't know what you think? ”
Those powerful family heads and people in charge of the Xiaoshi clan couldn't hear the meaning of the Zhang family and the Li family at this time, and they responded one after another:
"What the two elders said is very true, our scholars and other clans should advance and retreat together!!"
"Although the Jiangdong Army has thousands of combat strength, the more than 3,000 miscellaneous troops under Sun Quan are just a group of rabble, if it were not for the support of our children, those soldiers and horses would have dispersed long ago! Although there are 5,000 elite Jiangdong troops in the city, there are two or three thousand soldiers and generals who can be mobilized!! ”
"What Brother Tai said is not bad, but don't forget the ruthlessness of Sun Ce when he started before, the lesson of the Lu family is still in front of you! Now that Sun Quan is about to be cornered, who knows if he will do anything to lose his conscience, we have to guard against it, or we should deal with it carefully! ”
"Yes! Isn't it prudent to wait for the family to inherit for a hundred years? The family inheritance is greater than everything, and we should advance and retreat together, so as not to jump off the wall in a hurry for the Jiangdong military dog!! ”
……
The lords of the Zhang clan, the Li clan and the Qian clan saw that these big and small warriors responded one after another, and nodded to each other, and the lord of the Qian clan coughed twice to attract everyone's attention, and said: "The Jiangdong army has been defeated repeatedly, and now it has lost the city and lost the land one after another, and it is about to be defeated!" Then the general soldiers are like gods, invincible, and now they have swept the land of the two armies in Jiangdong, and will soon be able to unify the six counties of Yangzhou! General Hou is not only the Yangzhou pastor of the imperial court, but also one of the successors of the Yuan clan in Runan, the Yuan clan is the hope of the world's scholars, and our scholars naturally have to conform to the general trend! ”
"Assisting the Jiangdong Army in defending the city is a rebellious act, and we will definitely not be able to do it, I don't know if you think so?"
Yuan Yao has won many battles, and it has become an inevitable trend to sweep Jiangdong and unify the six counties of Yangzhou, and they naturally dare not be enemies with Yuan Yao!
The powerful people of the Wanling clan hurriedly responded: "What Gong Qian said is very true, the name of the three virtuous princes of the fourth Yuan family is spread all over the world, and our scholars naturally cannot turn their backs on the generals, and it is a betrayal to assist the Jiangdong army to defend the city, how dare we do it!" ”
"Yes! After the general's soldiers swept Jiangdong like a god, it has become a general trend, and we are planning for the people of Jiangdong, so naturally we can't help the Sun family defend the city, otherwise when the city falls, won't we become Wanling sinners? ”
"But if Sun Quan Xiao'er forces us to defend the city, what should we do?"
"Humph! He dared us to lead the army to defend the city, and we turned against the general after the battle, if we made a great achievement, how could there be no reward when the general led the army into the city? ”
"Yes! How can Sun's brutality be compared with General Hou, if Sun Quan dares to coerce us, then we will support General Hou's army to enter the city!! ”、
……
Seeing that everyone had agreed on it, the head of the Zhang clan nodded with a smile and said, "Since everyone has made up their minds, hurry up and return to the family to prepare!" If Sun Quan Xiao'er doesn't want to cause trouble, then he will not dare to do anything with us, we just need to be careful! ”
"What Zhang Gong said is very true, I will wait for the teaching, and I will leave first!"
"I'm waiting to say goodbye!!"
Seeing that the heads of the three major families had unified their opinions, the people of the big and small clans had no doubts in their hearts, and they all said goodbye and returned to the family and began to gather the generals of the family to prevent Sun Quan from becoming strong! After discussing the head of the Zhang family, the Li family, and the Qian family for a while, they all left and returned to the family and began to make preparations.
……
Just when Lu Fan and Chen Wu left Sun Quan's mansion together, wanting to take the first step to slaughter the big and small clans in the city, they suddenly saw a fast horse coming straight to Sun Quan's mansion, and immediately the man was covered in blood and carrying two bloody feather arrows behind his back, and he was about to die!
When Lu Fan and Chen Wu saw the comer, their hearts immediately tightened, and they hurriedly came to inquire what happened, and immediately the knight saw Lu Fan and Chen Wu, and reported urgently: "Two generals, Yuan Yao's army is about to reach the outside of the city when it goes upstream!! ”
Immediately, after the knight finished speaking, he fell directly to the ground, and Lu Fan's personal guard stepped forward to test the person's snort, only to see that the person had lost his last breath and cut off his breath.
Lu Fan's personal guard shook his head slightly at Lu Fan, indicating that this person was dead, Lu Fan sighed and said: "This person is a scout in our army, and he has been fighting with me for many years, but I didn't expect to die here today, and I will take him down and bury him in the record, and treat his family in the future!" ”
Lu Fan's personal guards took down this person's body, and Chen Wu didn't care to follow Lu Fan there to sigh, and said urgently: "I didn't expect Yuan Yao's army to come so quickly!" It seems that we don't have time to clear the clan in the city, so we should go and meet the king immediately before thinking about a good plan! ”。
After Lu Fan learned the news that Yuan Yao's army was about to arrive, he had already realized that Wanling City might not be able to hold it, and sighed, "Yuan Yao's army is about to arrive, I will immediately rush to the city to pacify the army and observe the enemy's situation, as for the matter of the scholars in the city, Zilie, you will go and discuss with Jun Hou!" Now that the situation is urgent, the scholars in the city have no time to deal with it too much, and they should take appeasement as the best policy! ”
"Yuan Yao's troops are menacing, it seems that Li Siye, the first general under Yuan Yao, is not to be underestimated, the old man is old!!"
