Chapter 286: Siege of Gangneung City
Jiangling City, located in the south of Jingzhou South County, is the second city in the South County after Xiangyang City, with developed transportation and convenient water and land travel. This is also the reason why Liu Biao chose Jiangling as a foothold after escaping from Xiangyang City last year, because only Jiangling City can be used as the ruling center of one party's forces.
More importantly, based on Jiangling and using the four counties of Jingnan as the rear, Liu Biao can always focus on recapturing Xiangyang City. After all, although Jiangling is good, there is still a big gap compared to Xiangyang.
This time, Liu Biao made a bloody effort to be able to capture Xiangyang City, and poured out of the nest, although it caused a lot of threat to Xiangyang City, but it also led to a consequence, that is, Liu Biao's old nest Jiangling City garrison is weak and empty, if someone attacks Jiangling City at this time, the difficulty will be the lowest.
And Liu Biao also understood the importance of the current Jiangling City to him, so he left Kuai Yue with 3,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Jiangling City, and at the same time let Cai Mao blempty in Jingling, so that Sun Ce of Jiangxia would not find anything wrong. In Liu Biao's expectation, by the time Sun Ce found out that something was wrong, he had already taken Xiangyang City, and at that time, even if Sun Ce sent troops, what could he do, and even as long as he led troops from Jiangxia, Liu Biao could take advantage of the great victory to send troops from Xiangyang to attack Jiangxia and recapture the land of Jiangxia.
It's a pity that Liu Biao didn't expect that he hadn't taken Xiangyang City yet, and Zhou Yu found out that something was wrong. Zhou Yu is also the top wise man in the world, although he is still young, his wisdom will not be inferior to Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue and others, or even surpass. After discovering a little clue, Zhou Yu deduced that Huang Zu, who was sitting in Jingling, was just bluffing now, so Zhou Yu suggested that Sun Ce attack decisively, take advantage of Liu Biao's main force, take Jiangling City first, and then look at the situation to determine the future development.
After Sun Ce took Jiangling City, if the Jingzhou army and Yuan Shu's army were both defeated in Xiangyang City, then Sun Ce could send troops to the north, and the fisherman would take Xiangyang City; If the Jingzhou army or Yuan Shu's army won a big victory and did not suffer much loss, then Sun Ce would go south to attack the four counties of Jingnan, occupy most of Jingzhou, and expand Jiangdong's rule in Jingzhou.
Both Liu Biao and Zhou Yu have their own plans, Liu Biao wants to let Huang Zu bluff to hide from Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, and buy time for himself to attack Xiangyang City. But unfortunately, Liu Biao's plan was seen through by Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu also responded, he and Sun Ce led a total of 23,000 soldiers and horses to take Jingling first, solve Huang Zu, and then continue to attack Jiangling.
After taking Jingling and killing Huang Zu, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu separated, and Sun Ce led 8,000 foot soldiers to Jiangling City, while Zhou Yu led the remaining 15,000 sailors to block the waterway and cooperate with Sun Ce's attack on Jiangling City.
On this day, Kuai Yue was originally dealing with affairs in Jiangling City, Liu Biao, Kuai Liang and others all left Jiangling City, so that all the government affairs of Jiangling City were pressed on Kuai Yue, but fortunately, Kuai Yue had some real skills, and managed Jiangling City in an orderly manner under high load operation, and there were no problems because of the departure of Liu Biao and others.
And when Kuai Yue was concentrating on government affairs, a Jingzhou army sergeant hurriedly rushed in and said to Kuai Yue: "Lord Kuai, it's not good, there are enemy troops outside the city." ”
"Enemy troops?" Kuai Yue's eyes lit up and said, "Which side of the enemy army?" ”
The sergeant said, "I don't know, I just saw a big banner with the word 'Sun'." ”
"Sun?" Kuai Yue frowned, and muttered to himself in his heart: "Could it be Jiangdong, but isn't Huang Zu in Jingling?" Even if Huang Zu can't stop Jiangdong, there should be news coming back, why is there no news at all now. And hasn't Sun Jian already returned to Jiangdong? The current Jiangxia seems to be his eldest son Sun Ce, could it be him? ”
"Let's go, go up to the wall!" Kuai Yue acted resolutely, and after guessing and still unable to come to a conclusion, he left the place where he was dealing with government affairs and walked up to the city wall of Gangneung City with the sergeant.
When Kuai Yue climbed the gate tower of Gangneung City, he happened to see a large army outside Gangneung City slowly approaching Gangneung City under the banner of "Sun", but stopped outside the range of the bows and arrows of the defenders of Gangneung City.
Kuai Yue's eyes at this time were focused on a young general under the banner of the word "Sun". It was a heroic young general, although he didn't look very old, but he was domineering, holding an iron gun, and under his crotch was a thunder demon tiger who was constantly grinning at the surrounding people.
"This person should be Sun Ce!" Kuai Yue looked at it and guessed in his heart.
Sun Ce has a good reputation in Jiangdong, and even Kuai Yue in Jingzhou has heard of it, after all, Sun Jian and Liu Biao often fought a few years ago, and they still have a little understanding of Sun Ce Kuai Yue, but they have never seen Sun Ce's appearance with their own eyes. But at the first glance of Sun Ce, Kuai Yue determined Sun Ce's identity.
"No wonder it's called Jiangdong Xiaobawang!" Kuai Yue saw Sun Ce, and silently praised in his heart, although Sun Ce is not very old, but he is domineering, ordinary people may not have the courage to make a move in the face of Sun Ce, even if he forcibly makes a move, under Sun Ce's domineering deterrence, I am afraid that ten percent of his strength can only be exerted seven or eight percent.
When Kuai Yue looked at Sun Ce, Sun Ce also instigated the Thunder Demon Tiger to walk out of the Jiangdong Army array, and then the overlord gun was raised, and the tip of the gun pointed directly at Kuai Yue on Jiangling City, and he shouted loudly, and said: "Listen to the Jiangling City guard, I am Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, and you are limited to surrender the city within one day, otherwise the day the city is broken will be your death." ”
Although the distance between Sun Ce and Kuai Yue was not close, Kuai Yue could still feel that the target of Sun Ce's overlord gun was himself, and when he felt this, he heard Sun Ce's arrogant words again, Kuai Yue was also angry.
Although Kuai Yue has not yet broken through to the Void Soul Realm, it does not mean that Kuai Yue is weak, but Kuai Yue lacks an opportunity, and cultivation and wisdom cannot be linked. Kuai Yue was also very important under Liu Biao's rule, and after the death of Pang Ji of the Pang family, Kuai Yue was the second strategist under Liu Biao, second only to Kuai Liang.
Liu Biao's treatment also made Kuai Yue think very highly of himself, and Sun Ce, who had not grown any hair, actually said in front of him that he must surrender the city within one day, otherwise the day the city will be broken is his own death, which makes Kuai Yue how can he not be angry, looking at Sun Ce under Jiangling City, Kuai Yue clenched his fists and was furious.
