Although Zhang Liao's bold words were uplifting, Chen Deng still maintained his indifferent smile. Although Lu Zhao had begun to follow Zhang Liao's words and imagine the brilliance after winning the great achievement, Chen Deng still methodically told Zhang Liao about the tactical details of his plan. Zhang Liao led the cavalry to travel more than 800 miles in two days, and arrived ahead of schedule, which was something that Chen Deng expected, and it must also be something that Sun Quan did not expect. How to make good use of this advantage is the key to this battle.

However, Chen Deng was already confident about this, so he specially instructed Zhang Liao to hide his whereabouts and rush to Tanglin Pavilion. “…… General Wenyuan, what kind of results can be obtained in this battle depends on whether Sun Quan finds out the general's whereabouts! It was okay to get from Pengcheng to Guangling, at least judging from the news from the scouts so far, Sun Quan didn't know that the general was coming. The general can order the soldiers to rest first, and take advantage of the night tonight to quietly rush to the Tanglin Pavilion! There are many scouts of Sun Quan's army in this area, and the general must remember not to be discovered by Sun Quan......"

Regarding the matter of quietly marching, Chen Deng instructed the top priority. Regarding Zhang Liao, although Chen Deng also has some understanding, he is still a little uneasy. Although Zhang Liao is a general brought out by Gao Ye, compared to Gao Ye, Guo Jia and Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao's fame is much smaller. The high night battle is invincible, Guo Jia has no last resort, even Zhao Yun has a brave and invincible record, killing Yuan Shao to cut his beard and abandon his robe, but Zhang Liao has not been able to get any record until now! For this kind of major event related to his promotion and fortune, Chen Deng can't exaggerate no matter how he plans, not to mention that he is just instructing Zhang Liao now?

Zhang Liao naturally understands Chen Deng's worries, he has been living under Gao Ye's giving until now, and he can't take charge of himself, the reason is not because he has never been able to get a good record! He is not famous, and it is reasonable for Chen Deng to be worried, which is completely understandable to Zhang Liao. Therefore, in the face of Chen Deng's entrustment, Zhang Liao did not show any signs of anger. In the years of getting along with Gao Ye, the first thing Zhang Liao learned was that if he wanted to shut up others, he had to prove himself with strength!

The road moves on the side are quite embarrassing for Chen Deng's current behavior, no matter how Zhang Liao is also a person brought out by Gao Ye, not to mention that he has been in battle for a long time, how can Chen Deng talk about these little things. Chen Deng made it clear that he didn't trust Zhang Liao, where did Zhang Liao's face go? To Lu Zhao's surprise, Zhang Liao not only did not change his face, but also thanked Chen Deng with a smile. It wasn't until Zhang Liao left that Lu Zhao complained: "Brother Yuanlong, Wen Yuan is a general in the end, you are unparalleled in wisdom and scheming on weekdays, how can you humiliate Wen Yuan so much today?" ”

Chen Deng smiled slightly and said, "This Zhang Wenyuan is really a general!" As he spoke, he looked at the road and smiled: "Do you think I am humiliated for no reason?" Now he wants to go to Tanglin Pavilion and prepare to ambush Sun Zhongmou, how dangerous is that? Zhang Wenyuan and Situ are close, and if they suddenly lose this, Situ must be unhappy. ”

"So you're deliberately trying to test him?" Lu Zhao was shocked when he heard this, "After all, Wen Yuan has been in battle for a long time, this little thing can't be difficult for him at all, Brother Yuanlong, you are really too worried!" ”

Chen Deng nodded and said, "Yes, I still underestimated him Zhang Wenyuan." can have such a mind and determination, coupled with his years of experience, maybe, he can really capture that Sun Quan alive this time! ”

Zhang Liao took advantage of the night and led his troops quietly. On the second day, Sun Quan, who was stationed in Guangling City and besieged it, was a little upset at the moment. A few days ago, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai of the vanguard army were defeated, which was a huge blow to the morale of their soldiers and horses. Pulling the sergeants out to fight in the New Year was an act that damaged the army's strength, and now it has suffered a defeat, which makes Sun Quan's desire to win even more urgent.

Koto now seems to be a harmonious mess, and the family has begun to support their rule in Koto, but in fact Koto is not stable. Let's not talk about the Shanyue people in Jiangdong, who rebel from time to time, let's just say that those ministers in the court also made me feel a little anxious. Families such as Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong, although they support their rule, they want to control them, but they are quite powerless. Although veterans such as Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang support themselves, they always have contempt for their youth.

If this is the case, Sun Quan can still accept it, with his wisdom, as long as there are a few more years, as long as there is a big victory, Sun Quan believes that he will be able to completely control Jiangdong. But there is still a Zhou Yu in Jiangdong, although this person is young, he is wise and strategic. The world only said that his elder brother Sun Bo Fu was brave and good at fighting, but he laid the foundation of the six counties in two years, but he knew that his eldest brother could have such a record thanks to Zhou Yu's planning. In addition, Zhou Yu was also praised by Gao Ye as the first handsome talent in Jiangdong, how could such a character not let himself be afraid of three points? What's more, Zhou Yu has military power in his hands, and generals such as Tai Shici are all former ministers of Sun Ce, and they are close to Zhou Yu. Although Cheng Pu and other veterans of the Sun Jian era did not respect Zhou Yu very much, they did not respect themselves either. Only then did he have to promote fresh blood such as Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, and Xu Sheng to divide their military power.

This time, Zhou Yu originally proposed to attack Huang Zu to avenge Sun Jian. I originally thought that this was fine, if I could kill Huang Zu and avenge my father, then Jiangdong would have no objections to him. But later, Yuan Shao's envoy came, bluntly saying that there was this good opportunity to carve up Cao Cao. After thinking about it several times, Sun Quan decided to let Huang Zu go first and share this cup of soup. As long as he takes Guangling, which Sun Ce can't take, it is also a big victory. When the time comes, with this great victory, he will enter Xiakou in the west and take Huang Zu, then his position as the lord of Jiangdong will be considered stable. Therefore, Sun Quan brought out all his own henchmen in this battle, and they needed such a big victory to allow themselves to give them a logical promotion, so as to gradually hold the power of the entire Jiangdong in their own hands completely.

When he attacked Guangling, he had the idea of surprise. According to Sun Quan's thoughts, it should not be a big problem to take Guangling. When the time comes, if all roads go well, he will lead his troops to take advantage of the situation to seize the two counties of Jiujiang and Lujiang, and expand his power to the north of the Yangtze River. If it doesn't go well, as long as you hold Guangling, you think that the springboard for the future northward advance is it. It's just that what Sun Quan didn't expect was that Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai actually lost for a while and lost a lot of soldiers and horses. This made Sun Quan feel melancholy at the same time, and at the same time, he was also secretly scolding in his heart, sure enough, the water thieves and the like are difficult to use!

And the thing that worries Sun Quan the most is the reinforcements from Yanzhou. Although his scouts have not yet sent back the police message, Sun Quan knows in his heart that he is afraid that reinforcements are coming! When I came to camp under Guangling City today, it was already late. Seeing the flags and guards on Guangling City, Sun Quan had no intention of tempting. He's going to let the army rest here and attack with all his might tomorrow! Although I don't know where the reinforcements are, now for myself, it is important to fight quickly and take Guangling as soon as possible.

Therefore, although it was already night, the big tent was still brightly lit, and all the generals were now gathered in Sun Quan's big tent to discuss how to attack the city. After all, one day late, the reinforcements are one day closer, and the less hope of being able to take Guangling. For Sun Quan, he really can't afford to drag it out this time.

It's just that within the big tent, He Qi, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Xu Sheng and others are all at a loss, in the face of a city like Guangling, a guard like Chen Deng, wanting to quickly take Guangling City, it really makes everyone a little embarrassed. Among the generals, only He Qi is considered to have been in battle for a long time, and he has some ways to use soldiers. But in the face of Guangling, he really couldn't think of any way except to attack. After all, Chen Deng in the city is also an old opponent of Jiangdong, when Sun Ce attacked Guangling, He Qi was in the army, and he knew this person quite well.

However, the strong attack will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and it may not be able to take this Guangling City, which caused the silence in the big tent. Suddenly, the curtain of the big tent opened, and a cold wind howled and ran in. There was also a soldier with the cold wind, who rushed into the big tent and knelt on the ground and said: "Lord Qiqi, the reinforcements of the Cao army have arrived, and they are less than a hundred miles away from Guangling City!" ”

Sun Quan was suddenly startled when he heard this, stood up and said, "What did you say?" ”

The soldier arched his hand and said: "The scout in front has come to report that he has found reinforcements from Cao Jun's brigade!" The banner is Yanmen Zhang Liao, with no less than 50,000 soldiers and horses. It's just that it doesn't look like it's coming to Guangling, but it looks like it's going in the direction of Xingguo. ”

Before Sun Quan could answer, He Qi on the side was already frowning, and then arched his hand: "Lord, it seems that the reinforcements of the Cao army do not want to directly enter Guangling and fight against us, but want to seize Xingguo and cut off our army's retreat!" 50,000 soldiers and horses, with the Guangling defenders attacking from both sides, I am afraid that our army will suffer a crushing defeat! ”

What He Qi said, Sun Quan naturally understood, and he was also sour for a while. This time, he overturned the original plan, denied Zhou Yu's strategy, and tried his best to fight Guangling, if he returned in vain, he would inevitably lose his prestige. But if it suffers a big defeat, then I am afraid that Jiangdong will be in turmoil. Therefore, Sun Quan sighed and said, "Gong Miao, do you think we can send a team of soldiers and horses to ambush this support soldier?" ”

He Qi thought carefully when he heard this, and said, "This area is full of plains along the way, and there is no good place for ambushes. If you send troops to attack, it will be an encounter. Although this army marched overnight, Zhang Liao was a general, and he would definitely not overdraw his military strength. Although its combat effectiveness is not strong, it will definitely not be crushed with one blow. The enemy army is 50,000 people, and there are few people who go, but I am afraid that it will be sheep in the mouth of the tiger. If there are more soldiers and horses going, I am afraid that there will be soldiers and horses attacking in Guangling City immediately! Guangling City was already difficult to attack, and now that Cao's reinforcements arrived, our army had no good chance to attack. Lord, in my opinion, it is better to retreat quickly, and our army is still preserving military strength. ”
