Chapter 798: Jiangdong Troops Raise Troops in Jingzhou (Middle)
"Cai Deqi dared to lure a wolf into the room!! He's just crazy!! ”
Liu Bei jumped like thunder and shouted loudly. Zhuge Liang condensed and said.
"The Jiangdong Sun clan has been cultivated for a long time, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and there are many ministers and fierce generals, and their momentum is extraordinary. If Jiangdong really sends troops, it will divide the troops into four routes and take Changsha, Nanjun, Jiangxia, and Guiyang counties. These four counties are all dependent on Jiangdong, and if Jiangdong can get it, if there is a case, reinforcements can be sent to rescue at any time. The Jiangdong Sun clan is powerful, with more than 200,000 soldiers with armor, and the lord has not yet become a general trend, so he cannot resist it. Abandon Changsha and Guiyang first, try to ensure that Jiangxia and Nanjun do not fall into the hands of the Sun family, and then continue to plot the future! ”
"Kong Ming is very good, I will order the deployment of soldiers and horses according to your words!"
Liu Bei's face was very solemn, and the power of the Sun clan in Jiangdong was not much worse than Cao Cao's. This time, if Jiangdong takes Jingzhou and gathers the strength of the Cai family, Jingzhou will inevitably be turned upside down and the situation will change greatly. Although this is the case, Liu Bei has no fear in his heart, but a kind of excitement that is about to move.
There is no other reason, all because he Liu Bei already has a transcendent strategist with the wisdom of the world, the talent of the heavens and latitudes, and the plan of the gods!
Liu Bei in accordance with Zhuge Liang's advice, ordered Zhang Fei to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses in Xiangyang to kill Xiangnan County, Yi was responsible for the baggage, grain and grass in his army, and at the same time Liu Bei gathered Pan Feng, Wen Ping and other generals, with Zhuge Liang, raised 20,000 troops, Hua Xiong led the rest of the soldiers and horses to guard Wuling. The army set out from Wuling on the same day and marched to Nanjun. Moreover, Liu Bei ordered the general Tai Shici and the famous Kuai Liang to rush to Jiangxia to help Huang Zhong guard Jiangxia.
The two armies, with flags covering the sky, swords and guns covering the sun, are mighty and vigorous, and they are all heading to Nanjun. On the other hand, it was said that after Cai Mao was defeated and left Nanjun, he was afraid that Liu Bei would send troops to fight day and night, so he sent more detailed work to investigate in the land of Wuling and Xiangyang. At this time, Cai Mao, Liu Bei divided his troops into two ways, Xiangyang sent 10,000 troops, Wuling raised 20,000 troops, and a total of 30,000 troops were heading to Nanjun with a shocking momentum, and they were coming!
Cai Mao was shocked, and now Deng Yi's envoy to Jiangdong has not yet returned. Cai Mao burned his brows like fire, that is, he ordered all the troops and horses to be prepared, and dug deep ditches and earth fortresses to prepare for the defense of the city and prepare for the upcoming battle.
Just when Liu Bei raised troops and horses, he wanted to conquer Nanjun and exterminate the Cai family. At the same time, Jiangdong was also in great motion, and Zhou Yu took Sun Ce's order to divide the army into four units in Yuzhang's 80,000 elite soldiers. The first department was led by Zhou Tai, Xu Sheng was the deputy general, and Lu Su was the military division in the army, leading 30,000 troops to Jiangxia. The second part, led by Huang Gai, Pan Zhang as the deputy general, and Gu Yong as the military division in the army, commanded 8,000 troops to set off to the realm of Guiyang, waiting for military orders, and ready to attack various cities and counties in Guiyang at any time. The third part was led by Cheng Pu, Han Dang was the deputy general, and Zhuge Jin was the military division in the army, leading 8,000 troops to march to the Changsha realm, and also secretly waiting for the order, preparing to capture Changsha. The last part, led by Sun Ce himself, cooperated with the generals and ministers, commanded 34,000 soldiers and horses, and went to Nanjun to rescue.
Jiangdong does not move, and there are 80,000 elite soldiers who are divided into four routes, crossing the river like four dragons, and traveling to all parts of Jingzhou.
Just when Cai Mao was anxious, Deng Yi finally rushed back to Nanjun and reported to Cai Mao, saying that Sun Ce was willing to accept it, and Jiangdong had sent troops to Jiangxia and Nanjun at the same time. Cai Mao was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately informed the soldiers of all departments that Jiangdong had come to help. When the soldiers of all units heard this, their morale suddenly rose sharply, and the morale that had been low before could be said to be rising.
A few days later, Liu Bei's 20,000 troops entered the realm of Nanjun and captured the city and county in succession. At the same time, Zhang Fei led his troops to enter from the junction of Xiangyang and Nanjun, and they were like a bamboo, capturing the city in succession. Cai Mao did not welcome him, he knew that the Jiangdong reinforcements would arrive sooner or later, so he gathered his 20,000 troops in Jiangling City, Nanjun. Within half a month, he built an urn city, and dug deep ditches and built earthen ramparts in a radius of three miles outside the city for defense.
Ten days later, Liu Bei led the army from the north of Jiangling City to kill, and built a camp ten miles away from Jiangling City. The next day, Zhang Fei also led his troops from the east of Jiangling City. Liu Bei's two armies gathered and were about to give the order to storm Jiangling. Suddenly, a scout rushed into the account to report.
"Report !! Thirty miles south of Jiangling City, there is a large army that crosses the river, and its force is large, and there are many people, with more than 30,000 soldiers and horses!! The villain saw the banner in the army, and the commander of the army was Jiangdong Wuhou and Sun Bofu. At the same time, his brother-in-law Zhou Gongjin was also in the army!! ”
"The soldiers and horses of Jiangdong came so quickly!? It seems that it must have been prepared for a long time! ”
Liu Bei was shocked when he heard this, his eyes widened, and he asked Zhuge Liang anxiously. Zhuge Liang also had a somewhat dignified look, and said in a groan.
"Everyone in the world says that Jiangdong Zhoulang is the first wise man in the world, and when I look at it today, it is indeed so. Presumably, Zhou Gongjin found out about the chaos in Jingzhou earlier, and had thought that there would be today's war, so he deployed troops and horses at the junction of Jingzhou and Jiangdong as early as possible. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for his army to come so quickly!! ”
"Military division, now that the Jiangdong army has arrived in Jiangling, if it joins forces with the Cai soldiers and horses in the city, there will be 50,000 people. And in his army, there is Jiangdong Junjie in charge, and it is undoubtedly difficult to conquer Nanjun!! ”
Liu Bei exclaimed, and Pan Feng on the side heard this, but he was angry and shouted.
"Brother, why should he grow up with other people's ambition to destroy his own prestige! That Sun Bofu is young and arrogant, and it is not enough to be troubled, although Zhou Gongjin is wise, but there are also military advisors in our army. Although the younger brother is not talented, he is willing to lead an army and defeat his military prestige first!! ”
When Zhuge Liang heard this, he smiled a little and said to Liu Bei.
"What General Pan said is very true. The lord doesn't have to worry, he has his own good strategy to deal with the enemy. And the three generals were ordered to set up troops in the high mountains east of the city, and formed a corner with our army. In preparation for the big war. ”
Liu Bei obeyed the plan and ordered the whereabouts and distribution. On the other side, Sun Ce first sent Ding Feng to lead 4,000 ironclad troops, rushed to Jiangling for the vanguard, set up camp for the army first, and at the same time informed Cai Mao that the Jiangdong army was coming.
Ding was ordered to go, rushed all the way forward, rushed to the south of Jiangling City, set up a village according to the mountain, and at the same time sent a team of fast horsemen to report to Jiangling City.
It was late day and night, when it was the first shift, the Jiangdong camp was standing, and Ding Feng saw that the night was dark, so he ordered the soldiers to rest first.
On the second watch of the night, suddenly the sound of horses' hooves was loud, and Ding Feng was awakened by the huge noise, and before he could react, there were one after another terrible screams in the village. Ding Feng hurriedly went out of the tent, and saw that Pan Feng on the left led an army to kill, Liu Bei on the middle road led a group of soldiers and horses to rush over, and Wen Ping commanded the soldiers and horses on the right road, and was attacking the camp. Ding Feng was shocked, got on his horse and fled. Liu Jun's three-way troops rushed into Dazhai together, set fires, and flames soared into the air. Jiangdong soldiers and horses ran around, and fled straight to Gangneung City overnight. Seeing that Gangneung City was close in front of him, suddenly a group of men and horses from the east rushed out. As the first general, he carried a snake spear, flew on his horse, shook his head and shouted.
"Yanren Zhang Yide is also here, a thief in Jiangdong, take his life to !!"
The scream was like thunder, Ding Feng was so frightened that his heart was shaken, and when he came back to his senses, Zhang Fei was already killing quickly. Ding Feng hurriedly raised his knife to block it, and with a violent 'bang', Ding Feng's face changed drastically, and Zhang Fei was very energetic. Zhang Fei drank violently, stabbed with a spear, Ding Feng waved his knife to block sharply, and retreated while fighting. Fortunately, this Ding Feng has good martial arts, otherwise he would have been stabbed off the horse by Zhang Fei.
At this moment, at the south gate of Jiangling City, there was a sudden loud bang, and most of the Cai army rushed out. Zhang Fei was still unwilling to retreat, and killed Ding Feng. Ding Feng was also forced to be bloody, roared, the bell's eyes widened, he slashed indiscriminately with a knife, and let go to fight Zhang Fei. The two killed dozens of rounds, and although Ding Feng was killed by Zhang Fei in danger, he was still able to stabilize his position.
"What a strong man!"
On a certain high ground, Zhuge Liang, under the protection of a team of soldiers, was riding a car to climb the heights and look at the battle situation, and couldn't help but marvel when he saw that Ding Feng was able to fight with Zhang Fei for dozens of rounds.
At this time, most of the Cai army was about to be killed, Zhuge Liang ordered the soldiers around him to blow the horn of collecting troops, Zhang Fei listened to the trumpet, shouted angrily, and attacked for a while, but still couldn't take Ding Feng, only to lead the troops to retreat. Cai Mao arrived and took Ding Feng's troops into the city.
Early the next morning, Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei were discussing in the tent.
"Most of the soldiers and horses in Jiangdong have not yet arrived, and Liang is willing to lead an army to resist his army based on the camp he had captured before. Gain 10 days for the Lord. Within ten days, the lord gathered a large army and captured Gangneung. If it can be done, Nanjun can be guaranteed! In the future, Liang has his own strategy to deal with it. ”
Zhuge Liang's eyes shimmered, and he said in a condensed voice. After hearing this, Liu Bei's face changed drastically, and he immediately refused.
"No!! The military advisor is the body of ten thousand gold, and I have to rely on you both right and left. There are many powerful soldiers in Jiangdong, and there is the courage of Sun Bofu and the wisdom of Zhou Gongjin, how can the military advisor take risks and stop it!! ”
"Liang only needs 6,000 soldiers and horses, and then borrows the second general's unparalleled martial arts to resist the 30,000 army in Jiangdong. Liang has already made a decision, and the lord doesn't have to worry about it. ”
Zhuge Liang smiled brightly, Liu Bei saw that he was confident, and he also knew the stakes of the current situation, so he followed Zhuge Liang's plan. Zhuge Liang then led 6,000 soldiers and horses, and cooperated with Pan Feng to guard the camp in the south of the city ten miles away from Jiangling City. Liu Bei returned to the camp in the north of the city.
At present, time is pressing, and the rest of the soldiers and horses is to be determined, Liu Bei immediately ordered Zhang Fei to lead the troops to Jiangling City, and the soldiers and horses of the two roads surrounded and attacked. Cai Mao was flustered, but Ding Feng was in danger, and taught Cai Mao that he only needed to press the troops and defend the city, and when most of the soldiers and horses in Jiangdong arrived, the natural crisis could be solved. Cai Mao was determined when he heard this, so he ordered the soldiers to defend Jiangling according to Ding Feng's words.
On the other side, Zhuge Liang was guarding the village, and suddenly a soldier came to report, and most of the soldiers and horses in Jiangdong were pouring here. Zhuge Liang listened, his expression was still flat, and he said to Pan Feng beside him.
"Can you resist the progress of Jiangdong's soldiers and horses, buy time for the lord, and take down Jiangling, you will immediately rely on the martial arts of the second general!"
"The military advisor should be handed over to Pan!"
