Of course, Liu Cong did not forget to repair the book and send it to Xiangyang, to the effect that Wu Ju's counter-evidence was conclusive, and asked Liu Biao to send troops to quell the chaos as soon as possible.

Liu Cong didn't expect Liu Biao to send troops immediately, but there was a foreshadowing before the war, in case he couldn't hit a single blow, he retreated and joined forces with Xiangyang reinforcements to besiege Jiangling, which was also famous.

After Liu Ba left, Huang Quan and Zhang Bo both raised objections, and the origin of this Liu Ba was unknown, reminding Liu Cong to be careful, Liu Cong smiled and said nothing. But he asked each of them to go down and prepare.

Gan Ning and Wei Yan were busy training recruits and did not attend the pre-war preparation meeting. After Liu Cong sent Liu Ba and Huang Quan away, he personally inspected the barracks, although there were many recruits, it was not very chaotic under the training of the two, and it seemed that he might not be able to fight a tough battle, and it should be okay to cheer.

The real attack on Jiangling can only count on the elite soldiers brought from Xiangyang before. Two thousand five hundred people against Wu Ju four thousand, Liu Cong has no bottom in his heart, he only hopes that Liu Ba can attract more soldiers, as long as he remains neutral on the night of the battle, Liu Cong takes Wu Ju, and the big thing can be done. Gan Ning and Wei Yan were also very excited when they heard that Liu Cong had decided to attack Jiangling.

Everyone prepared separately, Yiling City was very quiet at night, and Liu Cong asked Gan Ning to lead some of the soldiers on the road first, so as to distract the attention of the people and spies in the city. Early in the morning of the second day, Liu Cong led the army to Jiangling, and Zhang Bo also ordered the remaining county soldiers to set off with the large army. Liu Cong informed Wu Ju that he would set off on the second day and was expected to arrive in Jiangling at noon on the third day. The time difference in the middle hopes to be able to hide Wu Juyi's cadres and so on.

Huang Quan is busier than Wu Ju and Liu Ba in Jiangling City, originally he was just a pro-soldier commander, all that Liu Cong handed him these days was to inquire about intelligence, this time the task was heavier, Huang Quan was not familiar with Jiangling City, fortunately, he was young and smart. More than half of the guards were divided into more than a dozen groups and successively mixed into Jiangling City, temporarily assembled at the place provided by Liu Ba, and only waited for Liu Cong's army to arrive in the evening.

Liu Cong led his army and Gan Ning to camp thirty miles outside Jiangling City in the evening to rest, while resting on the spot, the soldiers took out their own dry food and feasted, while waiting for news in the city.

After the troops had a short rest and dinner, almost all the information in the city reached Liu Cong, including the map of the barracks in Jiangling City and the close location of Wu Jutai's yamen.

It seems that Huang Quan and the others have put in a lot of effort.

Except for Liu Cong's personal guards, who were already ambushed near the west gate of Jiangling and were preparing for battle, there were less than 500 guards at the four gates in the entire Jiangling City, of which there were only more than 200 people at the west gate. It is completely a normal garrison, and it seems that Gangneung has not entered a state of combat readiness. Maybe Wu Ju didn't want to startle the snake.

When Huang Quan entered the tent, Liu Cong immediately convened a meeting of sergeants, and Liu Cong called Gan Ning, Wei Yan, and Liu Ling, Wang Zhong and Zhang Bo and other cadres into the temporary tent. Assign tasks.

Zhang Bo was the first to stand up and raise an objection: "My lord, this Liu Ba's words are not credible, he must have been instructed by Wu Ju to come and deceive the lord to lure him to relax his vigilance, Ximen must be ambushed with heavy troops, it is better to wait for the arrival of Xiangyang reinforcements before attacking the city." ”

Among the crowd, it should be Zhang Bo who wants to take Wu Ju's head as soon as possible, but at this time he showed the calmness that a subordinate should have. Wu Ju will not be able to eliminate his heart for a day, but if it is a reckless attack, it is just in vain, in case the second son Liu Cong becomes a hostage, more than 2,000 soldiers and horses are afraid that they will all belong to Wu Ju, Zhang Bo has been holding back after Liu Ba left, but Liu Cong did not give him a chance to speak.

"Well, what Lord Zhang said is not unreasonable, what do you think?" Liu Cong followed a large number of others and asked lightly.

"My lord, the last general thinks that Liu Ba is credible, otherwise Liu Ba deliberately leaked the secrets in Jiangling City......" Gan Ning couldn't say more reason, but just stated his position.

"General Gan, that Jiangling is only a hundred miles away from Yiling, and it is not difficult for your lord to know the situation in Jiangling City. Isn't this Lord Huang Quan just returning with a full load, so it can be concluded that Wu Ju and Liu Ba deliberately leaked some insignificant information to confuse the Lord and me. Zhang Bo then retorted.

"This ......" Zhang Bo said this, Gan Ning also seemed to have woken up, and Wei Yan, Huang Quan and others next to him also nodded again and again, the number of troops in Jiangling City and the attitude of Wang Wei and Huo Jun It is not difficult for Liu Cong to want to know. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that Wu Ju deliberately sent someone to leak it to Liu Cong.

"Therefore, the official arrived at the city of Jiangling two days in advance, and if Liu Ba and Wu Ju conspired, they did not necessarily expect the official to enter the urn. It must be prepared with both hands. First, if I can't wait, they will prepare calmly, prepare the army and prepare for a duel with the reinforcements from Xiangyang, so the more time passes, the more beneficial it will be for them.

If this official is rash and rash, he will inevitably fall into their ambush, no matter how life and death you and me, the Xiangyang reinforcements will inevitably be subject to them. “

"How's that good?" Wei Yan looked at Liu Cong, these two sons understood everything, why did they lead this army to this Jiangling City.

"Huang Quan, what's the situation in the city?" Liu Cong did not answer Wei Yan, but asked Huang Quan instead.

"I have invited a group of idlers to live in the inn near the West City Gate according to the instructions of the prince, but there seems to be someone in the city to monitor, and General Wang Wei also promised to cooperate with us inside and outside, but Wu Ju began to monitor him from a month ago, and the action is very inconvenient, General Wang Wei is afraid of startling the grass and snakes, so he has not gone out for a few days.

Lord Huo Jun still seemed to be hesitating...... There are still continuous recruits in Gangneung City, and there are as many as three or four hundred troops every day. ”

"How's the North Gate ready?"

"The guards who entered the city are all ambushed, just wait for the signal of the son to be able to take the city gate in one fell swoop."

"This is very good, this time we marched in a hurry without any grain and grass and without any siege equipment, we must hit with one blow, otherwise this Jiangling City will be easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The order went down, and the soldiers of each battalion immediately took the nearest materials to make the ladder and launched an attack at the right time!

Lord Zhang Bo, you led all the county soldiers to surround the south gate, Liu Ling led 300 soldiers to surround the west gate, and Wang Zhong led 200 soldiers to surround the east gate! I led the rest of my army to attack the north gate with all my might

Pay attention to the multi-tree flag, Liu Lingbu tree Cai character flag, East Gate tree text flag, South Gate tree Zhang word flag. Remember! Remember!

After the three of you arrive at the position, don't act without permission, wait for the north gate signal flag, play the flag to approach the city gate, if you can deceive the city gate, you will rush directly to the Taishou Mansion, if not, use the bow and crossbow to drag the city defenders.

After Huang Quan enters the city in a while, you lead all the cavalry to announce the whole city: Cai Mao and General Wen Ping will lead the troops to quell the rebellion, so that the people in the city will not be closed, and the soldiers of all battalions in the city will stand by! ”

"Wonderful, wonderful! It turns out that the adults have already planned, and I will worry about it later. Zhang Bo listened to it and said hello again and again!

"In this way, Wu Ju and other departments in the city will inevitably be in chaos, and Jiangling can be determined!" Wei Yan also seemed to react.

"Don't be blindly optimistic, I want to catch Wu Ju off guard, success or failure depends on whether your actions are fast, and whether Wu Ju is fooled, of course, the key is whether you can successfully attack the north gate! If we can't get in, our troops will have to monitor the periphery and wait for reinforcements from Xiangyang. ”

"My lord's clever plan will definitely take Gangneung in one fell swoop! Huang Quan will take the head guarantee and open the north gate as soon as possible! ”

"Well, by the way, after entering the city, let the idlers in Ximen transfer, otherwise once they are targeted by Wu Ju's people, they are afraid that it will be too late to run. There is still some time, you go down and lead the troops to prepare, and remember to plant more banners to confuse the enemy. ”

"No!"

After assigning the task, Liu Cong and Gan Ning, Wei Yan and others studied the map of Jiangling City again.

When night fell, the army set off again, and after a short two-hour rest, the army rushed out more than ten siege ladders, Liu Cong looked at those simple ladders and secretly calculated in his heart, hoping that they would not be used.

Gan Ning and Wei Yan commanded the troops well, until the army came to Jiangling City, the scouts in Jiangling City did not find it, as soon as the time came, the north gate was full of fire, and rows of fires shot bows and arrows directly at the hundred soldiers defending the city.

These hundred or so people were originally Wu Ju's henchmen, but Jiangling City had not entered a state of imminent war, and had not prepared at all. I was just about to pick up my arms and fight back, but I found that forty or fifty people came out of the city and went straight to the city gate!
