Chapter 61 Turning Enemies

As soon as the news of Xu Huang's arrival in Fancheng reached Sun Quan's ears, Sun Quan knew that this was Cao Pi's intention to stick to Fancheng, and if Cao Pi gave up Fancheng, Sun Quan would think that Cao Pi did not intend to join forces with Jiangdong to destroy Ganning, on the contrary, Jiangdong was ripe for war. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info//Fast update//

Immediately, Sun Quan decisively ordered Zhou Yu of Jiangxia to lead Lü Meng, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Lü Fan, Ding Feng, Lu Xun and others to the west, and the vanguard led by Lü Meng turned into a merchant brigade from the river to the outside of Jiangling City in Nanjun through the waterway.

Crossing the river in white!

When Lu Meng, who disguised himself as a merchant ship, brought only a few hundred pioneers of the Jiangdong Army in white brocade robes, and when he came to the outside of Jiangling City, the city gate was closed, and someone in the city asked who was coming.

Lü Meng sent a Sven subordinate to come forward to reply, and the Taiping soldiers at the head of the city saw that they were not suspicious in their dress, but they were going to enter the city in the middle of the night, and this matter was not trivial, so they went to ask Jiang Qin, the defender of the city, to get the order to open the city gate and find out the identity of the other party.

The closed city gate just opened a gap, after the squeaky sound came, the cold light appeared in the night light, Lu Meng took out a long knife from behind him and rushed up with an arrow step, a knife into the gap in the city gate that had fallen down and was ready to open, the blade of the knife turned over, the city gate opened larger, and the white-clothed soldiers all pulled out the long knives hidden behind them, bravely stepped forward to break open the city gate, and rushed in, giving the Taiping soldiers who were defending the city under the city a fatal blow.

Blood splattered, screams and screams pierced the night sky, and the heavens and the earth were silent and bustling for a moment.

There are only nearly 3,000 defenders in Jiangling City, as the rear dispatch base of Ganning's northern attack on Fancheng, the only threat around the Taiping army is only Jiangdong and Jingnan counties, when the Jingnan counties did not form a union, they definitely did not have the courage to attack Jiangling, and the Taiping army and Jiangdong were allies, Gan Ning in order to mobilize the largest number of troops to conquer Fancheng, half of them did not put Sun Quan in their eyes, and half of them were also because of the relationship between allies and did not defend them.

The three thousand defenders had to guard the city gates on all sides, and at the same time were responsible for the security of the city, plus the alternation of shifts, the defensive force of one city gate was naturally pitiful, and it was killed by the white-clothed soldiers led by Lu Meng in just a moment.

But the screams and the sound of fighting broke the silence of Gangneung, and the news that spread with the wind was bound to alarm the defenders of the city.

Lü Meng didn't care, Jiangdong's 100,000 troops would arrive at Jiangling under the leadership of Zhou Yu within an hour, as long as he held this city gate for an hour, he could ensure that Jiangdong would not have to make any effort to capture Jiangling.

Under the cold moonlight, Lu Meng suddenly turned his eyes and saw dozens of horses tied to the inside of the city gate, these horses were used by the city gate order to transmit information to the city government as quickly as possible, he left 300 soldiers to guard the city gate, and then he brought hundreds of people, those who had horses rode horses, and those who did not have horses ran away, and killed them with him to the city government office.

Capture the thief and capture the king first!

Now the Taiping army on all sides is pouring towards the south city gate, and Lü Meng is going the opposite way to kill the heart of the enemy army, and directly take the government in the city, and is bound to kill the defender Jiang Qin and the Taiping army's military advisor Pang Tong.

Da-da-da-da

On a moonlit night, the streets were unimpeded, and the people did not dare to go out to watch even if they heard the movement outside, so Lu Meng led a hundred soldiers along the main road to the Jiangling Mansion.

The horse's hooves flew over, and Lu Meng was suspicious, he didn't even touch an enemy army along the way, which was really incredible.

Even if the defenders on the east and west sides did not meet him on the wrong path, at least if the defenders of the north facing the south came to the rescue of the lost south gate, they would definitely meet him on a narrow road, but there was not a single defender, not even the patrolling defenders!

The strange encounter was answered when Lu Meng rushed to the Jiangling Mansion.

Outside the palace, on the main road leading to the north gate, the Taiping army gathered together, there were more than 2,000 people, and each array was retreating in an orderly manner.

"The dog thief is gone!"

Lu Meng completely ignored the situation of being outnumbered, and angrily stepped forward to fight.

And Jiang Qin, who led the retreat, did not look back, and let the two hundred soldiers meet Lu Mengduan, and continued to withdraw calmly.

Pang Tong took a long time to look back and watch the white-clothed Lu Meng lead a hundred Jiangdong troops to fight against the Taiping army, and there was always a sneer on his face.

Dog thieves?

I don't know who it's called?

Hehe.

Lü Meng rode a horse and cut down a person, after the Taiping army was broken, under the moonlight, Pang Tong and Jiang Qin's two thousand people evacuated and drifted away, Lü Meng was unwilling, he saw Pang Tong's sneer for a moment, and he didn't know what this smile represented, but it made Lü Meng afraid.

The other party, it seems that he has been sneak attacked, and he still has no fear!

However, the other side is indeed retreating!

After all, the Taiping Army left in Jiangling was a logistics force, and its combat power was difficult to compare with the elite in the army.

It is advisable to chase after the poor Kou, Lü Meng is brave and extraordinary, with less than thirty people, he dares to chase Jiang Qin and Pang Tong's 2,000-strong troops, but all the way to the north of Jiangling outside the city gate, only the endless dark night comes into view.

Lu Meng looked up to the sky and sighed, regretful.

After all, let the other party escape.

The feeling of loss was quickly cleaned up, and Lu Meng was full of ambition again, turned around and strode towards the city, his eyes full of determination.

Gangneung, it's done!

Led an army from Jiangxia County to attack Jiangling, Zhou Yu and the generals in the army galloped on horses, and ordered the whole army to march quickly in the dark night.

The summer night was sweltering, but Zhou Yu's face was cold and his heart was cold.

The positive conversation with Guo Jia has been replaying in my mind.

"One day, I will lead the troops to set foot in Jiangdong!"

This sentence is like a nightmare that has been haunting Zhou Yu's heart.

In fact, Zhou Yu disapproved of Sun Quan's reneging on the covenant, because it was a breach of trust.

However, compared with the dishonest world, Jiangdong's survival is obviously heavier.

If Gan Ning captures Fancheng, even if Guo Jia loses Guanzhong and shifts his strategic focus to the south, Jiangdong will bear the brunt of the disaster.

Life and death are on the line, and Jiangdong has reached the point where he has to betray the covenant in order to protect himself.

The purpose of this surprise attack on Nanjun was not only to capture Jiangling, but also to exterminate the 100,000 Taiping troops led by Gan Ning.

Ahead, there was an army of 100,000 of Cao Wei in Fancheng.

In the rear, Jiangling, the supply place of the Taiping army, was lost, and 100,000 soldiers and horses in Jiangdong were also included.

Ganning on the front line of Xiangfan will fall into a dilemma, the front can not advance, the back can not retreat, to the east is the territory of Jiangdong and Cao Wei, to go is to seek a dead end, the only way to retreat is the northwest direction of Xincheng and Shangyong.

However, the person guarding the new city is Wu Yi, a pair of secret enemies who are already on the same page as Gan Ning, and may want to kill each other in their hearts.

Zhou Yu expected that with the relationship between Gan Ning and Wu Yi, coupled with Gan Ning's arrogance in his eyes, he was afraid that he would not surrender to Wu Yi, and he would make a desperate bet, either attacking Fancheng or fighting back at Jiangling.

However, the 100,000-strong army had no supply of food and grass, whether it was Fancheng or Jiangling, as long as they held on, they would consume Gan Ning to death, so that the 100,000 soldiers and horses under his command would be self-defeating.

Gan Ning was defeated, Guo Jia was like a broken arm, and Ma Chao's rebellion in Guanzhong cut off the connection between Zhang Liao's 100,000 soldiers and horses in Hangu Pass and Wuguan and Guo Jia, Guo Jia, the first prince in the world, will turn from prosperity to decline in an instant!

After leading the army to Jiangling without stopping, Zhou Yu ordered the army to take over Jiangling in full, and asked Lü Fan and Ding Feng to rearrange the city defense, and then enter the Jiangling Mansion with others to listen to the reports from all sides.

The government was brightly lit, everything was neat and orderly, and it didn't seem to have gone through a shocking chaos.

Zhou Yu paced back and forth in the hall, and when he heard that Lü Meng had entered the city, he went to capture Jiang Qin and Pang Tong as soon as possible, but found that the other party had led the army to withdraw, his brows furrowed, and he had a sense of foreboding in his heart.

Why did Jiang Qin and Pang Tong react so quickly?

Why did the first reaction when you learn that an enemy is attacking and flee without resistance? And it was also able to organize more than 2,000 troops in an instant.

As if, the withdrawal was prepared.

There is a reluctant explanation, perhaps because Jiangling is already weakly defended, once the city gate is lost, Jiang Qin and Pang Tong also know that it is unrealistic to send troops to rescue, it is better to flee directly to plan for the future.

However, these two people escaped too calmly and too weirdly.

Lu Xun frowned, and said in public: "This Jiangling seems to have been captured by our army, but by the enemy. ”

Everyone doesn't like to hear this, and it sounds like they have erased the merits of the Jiangdong Army.

The generals in the army disdained Lu Xun, thinking that he was just a scholar, and as Sun Quan's staff, he was obviously not qualified to point fingers when marching and fighting.

When Ding Feng entered the hall and informed Zhou Yu of the situation in the city, Lu Meng said to Lu Xun with disdain: "If the enemy army intends to send a Jiangling City to our army, will it even be accompanied by grain and grass?" ”

That's right, there is a large amount of grain and grass hoarded in Jiangling, many of which are follow-up resources prepared for Ganning's northern attack on Xiangfan, and these have been pocketed by Jiangdong.

If Jiang Qin and Pang Tong really deliberately sent Jiangling to Jiangdong, is it necessary to send even grain and grass?

The generals in the hall thought about it and felt that Lu Meng's words made sense.

only regarded the fact that Jiang Qin and Pang Tong were able to withdraw calmly as the other party's quick response.

But Lu Xun sneered in his heart: If the other party is willing to give away such an important city, will he be stingy with food and grass?

It's just that although Lu Xun was suspicious, he couldn't figure out the other party's intentions.

So he couldn't come up with a reason that could be explained, so he could only keep his suspicions to the bottom of his heart.

Zhou Yu pondered for a moment, since he had already made a surprise attack on Jiangling and it became a fact that he had turned his face with Guo Jia, it would be more thorough.

"Lu Meng, order the soldiers to recuperate quickly and recuperate for two days, and then you lead an army of 10,000 to give me Yidu County and Jianping County as soon as possible."

Lu Meng looked excited, and clenched his fists to take his life.

Zhou Yu got up and left, but also to rest and recuperate, and next, it is very likely to face the most fierce counterattack of Gan Ning's dying struggle.

Within five days, Jianping County, Yidu County, which had been occupied by the Taiping Army for less than a year, declared the fall of Jingzhou, and the three counties in the south of the Yangtze River in Jingzhou planted the banner of Jiangdong.

Jiang Qin and Pang Tong, who had withdrawn from Jiangling, came to the front line of Xiangfan under the escort of 2,000 soldiers and informed Ganning of the news of the fall of Jiangling.
