Chapter Ninety-Seven: Marching into Danyang

Gu Yong didn't know what to say, just stood quietly in the hall and didn't make a sound. Jiang Hong drank the soup by smashing it, and seeing that Gu Yong was silent, he was fighting a cold war with himself, stood up with a smile, walked to Gu Yong's side, took his little hand, and said:

"Don't be angry, I know it's wrong, there won't be a next time, how about it?"

Gu Yong let out a long sigh, looked at Jiang Hong, who was smiling hippie, and said helplessly:

"My lord must not behave like this again."

"I know, I know, I won't do it again." Jiang Hong replied, "Why did Gu Yong come?" ”

"The north has decided the winner, and Yuan Shao has won." Gu Yong said.

Jiang Hong had already known about this matter through Huang Yuan's secret agents, and Huang Yuan was now more and more secretive, and he would not easily appear in the eyes of everyone, except for a few old people around Jiang Hong, even if they were like Gu Yong and Lusu, who were deeply trusted by Jiang Hong, they didn't know about the existence of Huang Yuan.

However, Jiang Hong still pretended to look at the battle report, as Jiang Hong expected, it was Gongsun Zhan who died by himself, and he couldn't complain about others.

"This battle is significant, but it doesn't matter to us." Jiang Hong commented.

"It's true, but Yong feels that our army has been silent for too long, and it's time to make a move." Gu Yong persuaded.

"Haha, I don't know what Yuan Si thinks, I think so too, this time, we have to beat our name out." Jiang Hong said confidently.

"Your Excellency has a plan?" Gu Yong asked in surprise.

"Of course." Jiang Hong pulled Gu Yong down to the edge of the map, pointed to the map and said, "After the beginning of spring, General Chen will take the 15,000 newly trained soldiers under his command to the south to attack his counties, and then, I will personally lead 20,000 soldiers and 5,000 new soldiers, a total of 25,000 people, to take down here." ”

"My lord, Danyang is a hard bone, is there something wrong with this move?" Gu Yong asked with some hesitation.

"This Danyang will be fought sooner or later, and now Wu Jingxin is in Danyang, it is the time when the foundation is unstable, take advantage of his illness to take his life, otherwise when he Wu Jing stabilizes Danyang, and then attack Danyang, it will take a lot of energy." Jiang Hong explained.

"But what the minister is worried about is not this matter, but Yuan Shu behind Wu Jing." Gu Yong said worriedly.

Yuan Shu has a very interesting evaluation, and he is known for his chivalrous spirit. Chivalry, can be understood as rangers, martial arts, heroes, but they all have a characteristic, morality, Yuan Shu is known for chivalry, and it is indeed very righteous.

Yuan Shu felt that he had cheated Sun Jian several times, but Sun Jian not only did not blame himself, but worked diligently for himself, although he almost cut himself down when he was in the tiger prison, but the past is gone, and he always owes Sun Jian. What's more, Sun Jian is now dead because of himself, Yuan Shu is even more unhappy, and he can't compensate Sun Jian, Yuan Shu can only compensate Sun Jian's family one by one, which is why Yuan Shu is so good to the Sun family.

Wu Jing, his sister is the famous Wu Guotai, Sun Jian's brother-in-law, naturally also received Yuan Shu's favor, plus he followed Sun Jian to fight all the year round, Yuan Shu appointed him as the captain of the cavalry, Wu Jing was the Danyang Taishou, and by the way, he crusaded against his brother Yuan Shao's subordinates, the former Danyang Taishou Zhou Xin.

Sun Jian's son, 17-year-old Sun Ce, was escorted back to Jiangdong by Sun Ben (Sun Jian's nephew), buried in Qu'a, and inherited Sun Jian's troops. Jiang Hong also went to see Sun Ce during this period, but Sun Ce refused Jiang Hong's recruitment in the name of filial piety.

Then in a blink of an eye, Sun Ce, together with Lu Fan and Sun He, took refuge with his uncle, Yuan Shu's subordinate Wu Jing, and Sun Ce's family moved to Jiangdu after the funeral. Jiang Hong was so angry that he scolded Sun Ce for not being a good thing, but in fact, he himself was not a good thing, and he was embarrassed to scold others.

It took Wu Jing more than half a year to drive away Zhou Xin and capture Wanling, the seat of Danyang, Taishou Zhou Xin led the remnants of the army to flee and fled to Moling in the north, and continued to resist Wu Jing. But at this time, it was already approaching the New Year, and Wu Jing also stopped the pace of conquest, collected his troops and returned to Wanling to have a good New Year.

However, Jiang Hong will not let him live too comfortably this year, just after the fifteenth, Jiang Hong gathered soldiers, led 20,000 soldiers, crossed the river from Guangling, and killed Danyang. Jiangcheng, Hushu, and Jurong counties did not expect that there would be an enemy from the north at this time, and if they wanted to attack, they would attack from the south, not to mention that just after the New Year, in the face of the sudden enemy, these counties had no time to resist at all, and were easily captured by Jiang Hong.

On the sixteenth day of the new year, Zhou Xin just got up from the bed and slept lazily, so refreshing~~~~ Zhou Xin stretched his waist, took a breath of moist and cold air, shivered, and suddenly woke up.

After breakfast, I walked slowly and leisurely to the house, these days are the truce days that I and Wu Jing have tacitly acquiesced, and I can also spend a few days of peace and happiness leisurely. Besides, he has served as a taishou in Danyang for several years, not to mention too much, there are still some people under his hands, so if Wu Jing in the south wants to do it, he will know it as soon as possible, and he can be fully prepared.

Therefore, Zhou Xin sat back and took a leisurely sip of hot tea, but before he could swallow it, the hot tea squirted out without a bad drop.

"What? What did you say??!!! Zhou Xin stared at the soldier who rushed into his house in a panic with a look of disbelief.

The soldier, with a sad face, said in a loud voice:

"Guangling Taishou Jiang Hong attacked us with his soldiers, the brothers were not prepared, they lost Jiang Cheng, and even Hushu and Jurong were captured by Jiang Hong!!"

Zhou Xin sat on the mat in despair, muttering about the impossible, and before Zhou Xin could come to his senses, another soldier rushed in and shouted:

"Report, Jiang Hong has already led the army to Moling to kill."

"Hehe, it's over, it's all over." Zhou Xin's mentality collapsed, and all his troops were accumulated in Wuhu and Liyang, guarding against Wu Jing in the south, and now Jiang Hong's troops are coming to the city, and there are less than 2,000 soldiers in Moling City, what to defend? It's too late to transfer troops or anything, I'm afraid that if the transfer order is not even sent to Wuhu and Liyang, this Moling will be gone.

But where can you escape? Even if he fled to Liyang, Wuhu, with what those thousands of soldiers could do, in the face of Wu Jingjianghong's two-sided attack, it would be a situation of no life. Danyang is big, but there is no place for his own foothold, Zhou Xin is a little desperate.

Jiang Hong led the army to surround the Moling, seeing the Moling with the city gate closed, Jiang Hong planned to salute first and then the soldiers, and if the persuasion failed, and then send troops to attack the city, if the opposite side surrendered, wouldn't it be a surprise, happy new year!

Zhou Xin climbed the city wall with some reluctance, glanced out, and saw that there were many people outside the city, Zhou Xin roughly estimated, I am afraid that there will be no less than 20,000 people, listening to the sound of surrender outside the city, Zhou Xin closed his eyes in despair, and said weakly:

"Kaesong, let's descend."
