Chapter 166: Surprise Attack on Wu County
(Because I have been busy cleaning in recent days and preparing for the New Year, the update is a little untimely, but the old man will definitely ensure two changes, and try to update on time, if you really can't do it, please understand.) )
After accepting Lu Xun's order, the scout named Xiao Sheng felt secretly amused in his heart: "Although the name of the lord is indeed not small, but the Guangling navy is not under the command of the lord, how can he be willing to obey the order?" That Guangling is under the rule of Cao Cao's Xuzhou, Cao Cao and the lord have a deep hatred, let me ask how the Guangling Navy is willing to let our fleet pass guΓ²? β
But the military order was in front, Xiao Sheng didn't dare to disobey, so he had to agree, and still got a small boat from the building boat and came to the front of the Guangling Navy.
At this time, the Guangling Navy had already discovered that a small boat was coming in front, and a sergeant had already driven a small boat to the front and shouted: "Who is in front?" Don't you know that this is the forbidden place of my Guangling Shun army? If we don't stop to be examined, don't blame us for the ruthlessness of our arrows. β
Seeing this, Xiao Sheng couldn't help but sigh secretly, but still shouted loudly: "Everyone, please don't misunderstand, I am an envoy under the command of Zhennan General Liu Qi, and our general's fleet plans to pass through your defense area and go east into the sea from here, please make it convenient for you." β
In fact, when Xiao Sheng said this, he didn't have any hope, because such a thing is almost impossible.
Sure enough, as soon as he said this, he heard the other side laugh and said: "What you say is really ridiculous, our family Taishou is under the rule of Lord Zangba, the assassin of Xuzhou, and is under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, why do you want to listen to your lord Liu Qi's orders?" Leave me quickly, or else we will blame our army for being ruthless. β
Xiao Sheng smiled bitterly, and just wanted to turn back, but suddenly heard the same voice again: "You go and tell your general, your army should go over quickly." β
"Huh? What the? Xiao Sheng wondered if he had heard it wrong, so he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and asked incredulously, "What did you say?" β
"What? Hurry by, don't you understand people? β
"Okay, I'll go and inform our general. Thank you very much. Xiao Sheng didn't know why the other party suddenly changed his words, but he still didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly rowed the boat back to report to Lu Xun.
Don't say that Xiao Sheng himself doesn't know the reason behind this, even Wei Mi, the general of the Guangling Navy who suddenly changed his words on the other side, is also confused, he doesn't understand at all why Chen Hao, who had just been sent to his army by Lord Taishou, suddenly forced himself to change his order and let Liu Qi's army pass, but since Chen Hao was too close to Chen Deng, he didn't dare to disobey, so he had to let Xiao Sheng tell their general and let his army pass directly.
Xiao Sheng returned to the building boat made by Lu Xun with a shocked face, and then said incredulously: "General, the other party's general didn't agree at first, but then he said to let us pass." Is this a trick of the enemy? β
Lu Xun said with a smile: "Don't doubt it, everyone is speedy." β
After that, Lu Xun ordered the army to continue to advance.
Seeing this, Chen Wu couldn't help but say: "General, what Xiao Sheng said may not be unreasonable, Guangling guards Chen Deng and we are enemies and not friends, why would his subordinates let us pass the guΓ² defense area without authorization?" There must be a conspiracy in this, and we have to guard against it. β
Unexpectedly, Lu Xun shook his head and said: "Zilie, please rest assured, this time our army will never be in any danger, Chen Deng is sincere in letting us pass guΓ², hehe, no matter what, the lord is the assassin of Yangzhou, and he is a close neighbor of Guangling County, this Chen Deng is also a wise man, and he can't offend his neighbors too much, right?" β
"What's this, what's this reason called?" Although Chen Wu knew that this was definitely not the real reason, but seeing that Lu Xun no longer explained, he didn't ask again, and then with Lu Xun, he commanded the army to pass through the defense area of the Guangling Water Army and came straight to the East China Sea.
After crossing the estuary, the army came to the sea, and then went south along the coastline, and after a few days came to the territory of Lou County.
Whether it was Chen Wu or Lü Meng, they had fought here with Sun Ce back then, so they were naturally very familiar with this area, and they immediately reported that Lu Xun had arrived in Lou County, and Jian yì Lu Xun ordered the army to land in the shallows, and then led the army to cross Lou County and go straight to Wu County, where Wu County was located.
However, it was said that Zhu Zhi, the Taishou of Wu County, led 10,000 remnants of the army to retreat to Wu County, and later learned that the enemy army that ambushed him in his hometown was only 2,000 people, and for these 2,000 people, the chasing 20,000 of his army wolf bèi fled, and finally got into the ambush circle of Gan Ning, and after a series of blows, he lost half of his men and horses, and finally retreated to Wu County.
After hearing the news, Zhu Zhi couldn't help but feel remorseful in his heart, he knew that this was the case, and he couldn't help but fight at the beginning, maybe he would occupy She County now and relieve the siege of Wanling.
If this is the case, he will definitely become the first hero to re-establish the foundation of Jiangdong, and it is not impossible for his status to surpass Zhou Yu, but it is a pity that such an opportunity was wasted by himself in vain.
"Alas, Liu Qi'er is really cunning, all kinds of conspiracies and tricks can be used, it is really unguardable, now I only have these 10,000 defeated soldiers left, even if it is not easy to protect Wu County, let alone support Wanling? Lord Gongjin, it's not that the last general refuses to go to help, it's just that the last general is powerless. β
And the day after returning to Wu County, Zhu Zhi heard that in the process of leading the army to support Zhou Yu, Wu Jing and Sun Yu, the deputy general of Danyang, more than 13,000 people in the whole army were annihilated, and even the two main generals were all killed, and he couldn't help but secretly rejoice, because compared to these two, his current situation is quite good, at least he not only saved his life, but also retained 10,000 troops.
"Alas, I really didn't expect this Liu Qi to be so vicious, the purpose of besieging Wanling is not to attack the city, but to eliminate our reinforcements, in just one month, we Jiangdong lost another 20,000 troops, which makes our already overstretched army even more embarrassed. Fortunately, our Wu County has Danyang to block us, so we don't have to worry about being attacked by Liu Qi's army, otherwise, with our strength, how can we resist Liu Qi's tiger and wolf army? β
Zhu Zhi can now be said to be very fortunate that he was named the Taishou of Wu County, because according to today's shape, Wu County is relatively the safest, because its west is surrounded by Danyang County, and the south and southwest directions are the Huiji County where the lord Sun Quan is stationed, and the north is the vast river, on the south side of the river is the defense area of the Danyang County Naval Army, and on the north side is the defense area of Guangling County in Xuzhou.
And Guangling is Cao Cao's territory, and everyone in the world knows that there is a deep hatred between Cao Cao and Liu Qi today, and they will never die. On the one hand, Liu Qi's general Zhang Xiu killed Cao Cao's nephew and general Dian Wei, and successfully surrendered Cao Cao's general; On the other hand, Cao Cao used Cai Mao to kill Liu Qi's father, Liu Biao, so there was no possibility of mediation between the two sides.
Under such circumstances, it was impossible for Liu Qi's army to cross the north side of the river to attack his own Wu County in a roundabout way.
What's more, Danyang's strength at this time is empty, even if Liu Qi wants to attack, he must attack Danyang first, and it is impossible to attack his own Wu County, so if there is any worry, then let the new Danyang Taishou and Sun Quan's third brother Sun Yi go.
"Now the only places to worry about in my Wu County are Fuchun, Wucheng and Yangxian, which are adjacent to the counties in the south of Danyang, and the focus should be Wucheng, which I used to take to Danyang. Therefore, as long as I send heavy troops to defend Wucheng, and then divide some soldiers and horses to defend Fuchun and Yangxian, I can ensure that my entire Wu County is like an iron bucket. β
Zhu Zhi thought about it, so he sent 3,000 troops to garrison Wucheng, 2,000 troops to garrison Fuchun, and 2,000 troops to garrison Yangxian, and finally breathed a sigh of relief after that.
"Now my three counties are all garrisoned by the army, and the three cities are connected to each other, forming a long snake formation, the enemy is the head, the tail comes to help, the enemy is the tail, the head is to help, if the enemy hits the middle, then we will help together, in these three cities, as long as the army can't hold out, the enemy army has no possibility of conquering even if it comes to 12,000, hehe, now my Wu County is finally completely safe."
Zhu Zhi sat quietly in the lobby of the Taishou Mansion, holding a military book in both hands, and read it with relish.
But at this moment, a personal soldier suddenly broke in and said loudly: "Lord Taishou, it's not good, Liu Qi, Liu Qi ......"
"What's wrong with Liu Qi? If you have something to say, speak slowly, don't panic. Zhu Zhi recalled the contents of the military book, and waved his hand to comfort the soldiers.
But he saw that the pro-soldier gasped and said, "I can't help but panic, because if the little one is delayed for a while, the life of the Taishou Lord will be difficult to protect." Lord Taishou, run away quickly. Liu Qi's generals Lu Xun, Lu Meng, and Chen Wu led the army to begin to attack the city, because of the suddenness of the incident, our army did not take any precautions at all, so it only took a meal to kill the enemy army on the city, and now it is killing here in Taishoufu. β
"What? What did you say? Liu Qi sent his generals to attack the city? How is this possible? Will Liu Qi's army fly? Falling from the sky? Otherwise, how could they suddenly appear under the city? Zhu Zhi couldn't help but stand up, pointed to his own soldiers and shouted: "You are so bold, you dare to lie about the military situation, don't you want to live?" β
When the pro-soldier heard this, he couldn't help but secretly complain, kowtowed and said: "Lord Taishou, leave quickly, Liu Qi's army is really here, and now Liu Qi's army has broken through the four city gates, what a serious thing is this?" How dare a little deceive an adult? Now that all the people in the city know, if you don't believe it, you can just find someone to ask, but now the situation in the city is very dangerous, so you should flee quickly. β
Zhu Zhi was stunned when he heard this, and just wanted to say something, when he suddenly heard the gate being knocked open, and then saw a young man come in and said: "Father, now that the enemy army has broken through the city gate, and the army is killing the Taishou Mansion, the form is very dangerous, so father should go with the child." β
When Zhu Zhi saw this person, his heart suddenly sank, he couldn't help but be puzzled, and asked in a low voice, "How is this possible?" Where did Liu Qi's army come from? Son, you should tell your father. β
