Chapter 248: Jiangdong Crisis
Gangneung Front.
Lu Xun led the army to attack the city, and it has been two days since the attack.
This was completely different from what he had expected, and Gangneung's defense was simply airtight.
For two days, they made no progress, except for more serious casualties.
This made Lu Xun very uncomfortable, Wei Yan, who was originally extremely arrogant and proud of the world, did not confront him head-on from beginning to end.
No matter how much he challenged, he just cowered in the city and couldn't come out.
More importantly, Lu Xun found that Jiangling's preparations were quite sufficient.
Whether it's the armament or the army, or their performance.
Without exception, they are all expressing to Lu Xun that they are not afraid of you at all!
At this moment, Lu Xun was sitting in the big tent, and there were two pieces of information in front of him.
One is that Cao Cao is besieging Xiangyang and may take it at any time.
The other is that Liu Bei captured Lingling and Changsha.
What gave Lu Xun a headache was not Cao Cao, but Liu Bei.
The speed of this person's movements was beyond Lu Xun's imagination.
Both he and Sun Quan thought that Liu Bei would rob Jiangling with them.
They also made a series of preparations for this purpose, including guarding the main roads.
But the first thing he didn't expect was that Liu Bei was so fast to get out of them.
Then there was the surrender of the two counties, and Lu Xun always believed that Xu Tian's governance in Jingzhou was very rigorous and excellent.
As a result, Liu Bei easily took the two counties without spending a single soldier.
What gave Lu Xun a headache was not that Liu Bei got these two places.
Even if the other party came to rob Gangneung with him, he felt very good.
But what he was most afraid of was that Liu Bei would make a desperate bet and go down the river and go straight to Chaisang.
Although I didn't want to do this kind of thing of killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred.
But the other party is Liu Bei, so it's hard to say, so let's not talk about the grievances between them.
As far as Liu Bei's ambition is concerned, it is enough to support him to do this.
The more Lu Xun thought about it, the more he had a headache, and the war ahead was anxious, which made it difficult for him to ride a tiger for a while.
If it is not solved as soon as possible, even if Liu Bei will not mess around and attack Chaisang.
When the time comes, he turns the gun against himself, and it will be quite dangerous.
What's more, there is a Cao Cao in the direction of Xiangyang, and he is even more eyeing him.
Now they are fighting on their own.
In order to eat others and strengthen yourself, you will do whatever it takes.
These mixed thoughts made Lu Xun's head swell, and he walked around the tent with his hands behind his back.
With each step, his gaze flickered.
At this moment, there was a dense sound of footsteps outside the big tent.
Lu Xun paused and raised his eyes to look in the direction of the door.
After counting the interest, I saw a group of people come to the account.
After listening to a few words from one of them, the soldiers who followed followed stood outside.
This voice, he was somewhat familiar, but he was not sure.
But after a few breaths, Lu Xun confirmed his thoughts.
I saw a gray-haired general in military uniform walk in.
"General Huang?" Lu Xun greeted him and spoke in surprise.
"Why are you here? Come on, come on, please take a seat! ”
With that, he invited Huang Gai to the tent and sat down.
"The old general is here, the lord asked you to come, do you have any orders?"
As soon as he sat down, Lu Xun asked again, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.
From the moment I saw Huang Gai, it was especially intense.
And the other party's gloomy face also shows that something big has happened.
"Governor, you better read the letter from the lord to you!"
Huang Gai said, and took out a letter from his bosom.
Slowly stood up and put it in front of Lu Xun.
Reaching out to pick up the letter on the table, Lu Xun frowned.
He looked at the ugly yellow cover, took a deep breath, and opened the letter.
It was only after a few breaths that his face suddenly changed.
Clenching the letter tightly with both hands, he looked at Huang Gai in disbelief.
There was even a hint of horror in his eyes.
"Isn't Cao Cao on the front line in Xiangyang? How... How so? ”
His voice trembled a little, and the contents of the letter were too shocking.
"You know the gravity of the matter now.
Now, the lord has personally led his troops to defend. ”
Huang Gai's voice was not loud, but with a hint of coldness.
"This was premeditated, and Cao Cao knew that we would not let go of the opportunity to seize Jingzhou.
The key now is that Liu Bei has taken Lingling and Changsha.
If he gives up and continues to expand the results of the war, the consequences will be unimaginable.
And don't forget, Cao Cao is still in Xiangyang! Everything now shows that his goal may have been aimed at us from the beginning! ”
Every word Huang Gai said wanted to hit Lu Xun in the chest with a heavy hammer.
His face was getting paler and paler, and the situation was changing too quickly.
Now, as long as there is a slight mistake, it will be a devastating blow for Koto.
"Now, we're going to go back at once, without stopping for a moment.
Chaisang must not have anything to do, otherwise, Jiangdong will be in danger! ”
Lu Xun wiped the dense cold sweat on his forehead and said urgently.
"Moreover, you can't be in a hurry, and you must not let Wei Yan see the problem.
Otherwise, he will definitely not let go of this opportunity, and he will definitely come out of the nest!
Now, we need to go quietly! ”
At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded outside the account again.
A soldier quickly walked into the tent and clenched his fist at Lu Xun.
"Enlighten the Grand Governor, the military report ahead!"
As he spoke, he took out a silk silk from his arms, handed it to Lu Xun, and then turned to leave.
Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Xun opened the silk silk.
Huang Gai also narrowed his eyes and stepped forward, at this time, there can be no big problems.
"Bang!"
Lu Xun's right hand slammed on the table and scolded angrily.
"Fuck, what are you afraid of!"
"What's wrong?" Huang Gai frowned and looked at the other party.
"Cao Ren is coming towards us with his army! It seems that Cao Cao is ready to do it! ”
"How many are there?"
"I don't know, I guess it's indispensable! Old General, we can't wait any longer, we have to get out of here tonight! ”
Cao Ren's sudden attack doubled the pressure on Lu Xun.
Now, Cao Cao has already started to do it, so what about Liu Bei, what will he do at this time?
Lu Xun knew that time was running out, and he looked at Huang Gai and spoke again.
"Tonight, the whole army withdraws, don't want anything, leave on a clipper!
Now, we can only go back to Chaisang and stick there! ”
…
Time passed, and night fell.
Jiangling, above the city tower, Wei Yan looked at the river that was gradually falling into darkness, his eyes flashing.
In his hand was a letter that Pang Tong had sent from Xiangyang in an urgent manner.
"Looks like we're going to have a good show tonight!"
A sneer appeared at the corner of Wei Yan's mouth, he was attacked by Lu Xun these days, but he could only nest in the city.
If it weren't for Xu Tiantian's death order, he would definitely not be able to fight, and he would have taken someone to clean up this bookish and angry guy a long time ago.
"There are secret agents in the police station, closely monitor the enemy military camp tonight, and report at any time!"
After turning his head to give the order to the lieutenant general beside him, Wei Yan fell silent again...
