Chaisang City.

A large number of ordnance is being transported from the raw water camp upstream to the Chaisang water camp one after another.

After three days of celebration, Su Zhe was already preparing to march down the river east and take Jianye directly.

Although this battle severely damaged Sun Ce, captured Chaisang, surrendered to Lingtong, and killed more than 10,000 enemies, it did not deal a fatal blow to Sun Ce.

According to the intelligence, Sun Ce had retreated to the lower reaches of the Anhui Kou line to re-establish camp, and ordered Sun Quan, who was guarding Jiangdong, to continue to allocate reserve troops to enter the Anhui Kou for reinforcements.

At the same time, Sun Ce transferred back nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses from Lü Meng, so that the number of troops in Anhui returned to about 30,000.

30,000 sailors is still not a number that can be underestimated.

And if Su Zhe wants to kill Jianye, he also needs to capture Sun Ce's Wankou, Weixukou, and quarrying three passes along the way to reach Jianye.

If Sun Ce is determined and relies on the resistance of the three passes, it will take some time for Su Zhe to destroy Jiangdong.

Moreover, Sun Ce ordered Lü Meng to lead 7,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Poyang City, the easternmost part of Yuzhang County, and always threatened the flank of Su Zhe's march route.

Su Zhe discussed with Pang Tong and Jia Xu, and the two Jiuqi agreed that if they wanted to continue eastward along the river, they must remove the nail on the flank of Poyang and ensure that the grain route was unimpeded.

The thoughts of the two of them naturally coincided with Su Zhe, and besides, it was none other than Lu Meng who was guarding Poyang, and Su Zhe also had the heart to get rid of this huge threat.

So, Su Zhe stayed in Ganning, Huang Zhong and Pang Tong guarded Chaisang, and led an army of 30,000 cavalry to Poyang City to clean up Lü Meng.

A few days later, Su Zhe landed on the east bank of Poyang Lake by boat, met Deng Ai's troops and horses, and headed straight for Poyang City.

Previously, Deng Ai had set out from Haiyang City and swept most of Yuzhang County, except for Poyang City, most of the cities in the county were basically planted with the banner of Great Wei.

After the two armies met, no one could reach and arrived at the foot of Poyang City in a few days.

Su Zhe immediately ordered the army to besiege the city and besiege Poyang City.

At the head of the city, Lu Meng stood there, his face gloomy, looking at the boundless Soviet army camp outside the city, his brows were deeply furrowed, his eyes were gloomy, and he muttered: "I didn't expect Su Zhe to come so quickly......"

Sun Ce's basic plate lies in the three counties of Danyang, Wu and Huiji, which are the core of Jiangdong.

Between Yuzhang County and the three counties, although there is a county mountain barrier, there is a mountain road in the middle of the connection, and it can barely be walked.

Poyang County is located at the junction of Yuzhang and the three counties, and it can be regarded as the land gateway of the three counties.

According to Lü Meng's original meaning, although Poyang City is a land gateway, the city is low, there is little grain, and the surrounding terrain is open, which is not suitable for holding.

Therefore, after Sun Ce transferred 10,000 horses, Lü Meng sent people to Wankou to ask Sun Ce for instructions on whether he could abandon Poyang City and withdraw the defense line into the mountains, so that he could block the Wei army according to danger.

Lü Meng didn't expect that Su Zhe regarded him as a thorn in his side, and led a large army to kill him with lightning speed, and completed the siege of Poyang City before he could get Sun Ce's reply.

Faced with such a situation, Lu Meng couldn't help but cast a shadow in his heart.

"Now, we have no choice but to desperately defend Poyang City for the lord!"

Pan Zhang, who was on the side, was impassioned and determined to die.

Lu Meng was silent, and the clouds in his eyes were getting thicker and thicker.

The camp of the Wei army, the king's tent.

Su Zhe had just sat down, and before he had drunk a glass of wine, Ling Tong hurriedly entered the account.

"The last generation of King Wei will come, I don't know what to order?" Ling Tong bowed his hand to greet him.

Su Zhe didn't beat around the bush, so he said: "Gongji, this king sent you here to give you an errand, let you go to Poyang City, and go to recruit Lu Meng to this king, are you willing?" ”

He wants to recruit Lu Meng!

Lu Meng is the four major governors of Eastern Wu in history, and he can be called the world's first-class in terms of his ability to command troops and his resourcefulness, comparable to Zhou Yu.

In the surprise attack on Xiakou, Lu Meng has proved his strength.

With such a commander-in-chief, Su Zhe naturally wanted to be included in his command and used by him.

Ling Tong's expression moved, and he said: "The king of Wei has an order, and the last general will naturally act according to the order, but this Lu Meng is Sun Ce's hand, I am afraid that he will not surrender easily." ”

"That's okay, this king didn't expect him to surrender immediately, you just have to go." There was a hint of mystery in Su Zhe's eyes.

Ling Tong didn't dare to ask any more questions, and immediately took the order to leave the tent and go straight to Poyang City.

West of Poyang City.

At the head of the city, Lü Meng was scolding his soldiers to hurry up and build city defenses to deal with the imminent attack of the Wei army.

Looking at the oppressive Wei army outside the city, Lu Meng muttered: "Lord, lord, why did you kill Yu Ji and destroy the Great Wall, without Yu Ji, what else do we use to fight against Su Zhe's witchcraft, alas~~"

Lu Meng shook his head helplessly, with disappointment between his eyebrows, obviously still haunted by Sun Ce's killing of Yu Ji.

Just as he was sighing, he suddenly saw the door of the Wei military camp wide open, and a single horse galloped towards the west gate.

The Jiangdong troops at the head of the city immediately became alert, and the crossbowmen were in place one after another.

Lü Meng ordered the crossbowmen not to act rashly.

After a while, the military general galloped closer, took more than ten steps in front of the city, and said loudly: "Ling Tong is here, where is Lu Dudu?"

Ling Tong?

Lu Meng's face changed slightly, he raised his eyes and stared carefully, and the person he recognized was indeed Ling Tong.

Lu Meng couldn't help but be angry, so he scolded: "Ling Tong, you traitor, you still have the face to come to see the governor of Pontus!" ”

Ling Tong saw Lu Meng, his face was not half ashamed, and he said loudly: "King Wei is the reincarnation of the true dragon, the gods of heaven descend to earth, and our submission to the King of Wei is in accordance with the mandate of heaven!" ”

A speech, righteous and stern, no matter how Lu Meng retorted, his face was red.

Without waiting for Lu Meng to strike at each other, Ling Tong said loudly: "Lu Ziming, I have come here today to convey a few words to you on the order of King Wei. The king of Wei said, he admires your general talent very much, has left a place for you in front of the tent, if you know the current affairs of the city to surrender, the king of Wei will be reused for you, glory and fortune, fame and fortune are inexhaustible with you, if not, when the city is broken, you will die without a place to be buried! ”

Then, Ling Tong glanced at the soldiers at the head of the city, and said sharply: "And you all listen well, return to the King of Wei, all will be rewarded, if you continue to resist stubbornly, after the city is broken, the King of Wei will kill you without leaving any life!" ”

After saying this threatening ultimatum, Ling Tong didn't say a word of nonsense, turned his horse, and walked away.

The Jiangdong soldiers at the head of the city all had shocked faces, all of them looked terrified, and their eyes looked at Lu Meng.

Lu Meng's face was as gloomy as iron, staring at Ling Tong's distant figure, his hand had been raised, and he could have ordered the crossbowmen to shoot indiscriminately, but until Ling Tong ran out of the land of an arrow, he never fell.

His hand was finally slowly lowered, looking at Ling Tong's figure from afar, and the words "fame and fortune, glory and wealth" kept echoing in his mind.

Just when he lost his mind for a while, Pan Zhang had already rushed to the city and said sharply: "Governor Lu, I heard that Ling Tong's traitor came just now, why didn't you give the order to shoot him?" ”
