Chapter 22 Calculating Sun Yi

"How's going on with Uncle Lang?" Gu Yong saw that Sun Yi's face was not very good, and hurriedly asked.

"Besieged by more than 10,000 mountains!" Sun Yi had a gloomy face and only replied. Shu Lang refers to Sun Yi's uncle Sun Jing's third son, Sun Jiao, who is now the Moling Order. Sun Jian died in Jingzhou that year, and Sun Ce led his old troops to attach to Yuan Shu. Among the other sons, the eldest Sun Quan was only nine years old at the time, so they all returned to Wucheng, where Sun Jian's fiefdom was located, and Sun Jian's brother, Sun Jing, raised Chengren.

In other words, Sun Jiao, Sun Quan and Sun Yi all grew up together, and their brotherhood with each other is no different from that of biological brothers. It is precisely because of this that Sun Jiao was appointed as the commander of Moling County at the age of sixteen and served under Sun Yi, the Taishou of Danyang. Now that he learned that Sun Jiao was besieged by Shanyue, Sun Yi was suddenly anxious.

"Third son, I'm afraid there is fraud in this!" Gu Yong said suddenly, seeing Sun Yi's stunned face, Gu Yong patiently explained: "If more than 10,000 mountains are besieging the city, how did this messenger escape?" Sun Yi was also stunned when he heard this, and then ordered: "Bring the person who sent the letter to me!" ”

"Yang Zheng, the villain Moling Pavilion Chief, meet Lord Taishou!" Not long after, a bloodstained man was brought to Sun Yi and Gu Yong. Although the uniform on his body was already stained with blood, it was still vaguely recognizable, and it was indeed the pavilion chief's uniform. "Pavilion Chief Yang, this letter only says that there are more than 10,000 mountains besieging the city, what is the specific situation?" Gu Yong asked quietly. Sun Yi knew that his ability to deal with these details and trivial matters was far inferior to Gu Yong, and he was silent at the moment and asked him questions to see if there were any flaws.

"Returning to my lordship, since the former Lord Taishou ordered the counties to be on guard, the Sun County order also ordered the city gate to be closed. Two days ago, several Shanyue troops suddenly came down the mountain to Moling, and asked the county to supply 3,000 stone of grain and rice, otherwise they would attack the city. Sun County ordered the villain to fight his way out of the siege and come to Danyang City to report the news! Yang Zheng was still panting slightly, but he still basically made his words clear.

"More than 10,000 mountains are besieging the city, I don't know how Pavilion Chief Yang fought his way out of the siege and reported the news?" Gu Yong asked lightly. Yang Zheng was slightly stunned, but he still replied honestly: "The villain has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and Sun Xianling saw that Shanyue was not very well guarded at night, so he asked me and the other four to come out from the four gates to report the news." There are no horses in the mountains, and the villain relied on the speed of his mount to break out of the encirclement, but I don't know if there are other people who come to report? ”

"But no." Gu Yong frowned slightly. At this time, Sun Yi, who had been silent, couldn't bear it after all, and asked directly: "Shulang, how is he?" ”

"The county commander led the army to hold the city, but fortunately, the Shanyue army did not have too many siege equipment, and it was safe for a while." Yang Zheng gasped slightly. "Pavilion Chief Yang has worked hard, please go and rest first!" Gu Yong also felt that he had asked almost the same question when he asked this. Just as Yang Zheng got up and walked a few steps, Gu Yong suddenly asked again: "What happened to Liu Xiancheng in Moling County?" ”

"Liu Xiancheng?" Yang Zheng was stunned when he heard this, and then said: "My lord, I'm afraid I'm mistaken, the two county magistrates in Moling County are not surnamed Liu, and there is only one county lieutenant Liu, who is assisting the county commander to defend the city!" ”

"That's the case, Gu is wrong!" Gu Yong also nodded when he heard this, so Yang Zheng went down to rest without mentioning it. "Yuan Sigong, what do you think?" As soon as Yang Zheng left, Sun Yi suddenly asked impatiently.

"It's like there's no flaw." Gu Yong frowned slightly, and then said: "Although the Shanyue army is brave and good at fighting, it is not good at attacking cities, and Lord Moling Shulang has two thousand defenders there, but it is safe, and the third prince should not act rashly." ”

"Shu Lang is my brother, and now that he is in danger, how can I sit idly by? The people of Shanyue are the most ferocious, and if the city is broken, Shulang will be in danger! Sun Yi said hurriedly. Without waiting for Gu Yong to object, Sun Yi hurriedly said: "Besides, Moling connects Danyang and Wu County, in case the city is broken, the people of the two counties will inevitably be uneasy, how can we sit idly by?" ”

"That being the case, let's report back to the lord and ask him to send troops from Wu County to relieve the siege!" Gu Yong also knew the important surname of Moling, but he still preferred not to transfer troops from Danyang.

"Wu County is the root of Jiangdong, how can it be reckless? It's better for me to lead a team of men to solve the siege! Sun Yi shook his head when he heard this. Wu Jun is the foundation of the Sun family, and it should be said that Sun Quan has indeed worked it. Not only did they hoard tens of thousands of elite soldiers, but they also had sufficient food reserves, and at the same time, deep wells were dug in the city, and there was no shortage of drinking water. At the moment when such a big enemy is at present, with Sun Quan's caution, it will only make people come back to help Wu County, how can he agree to send troops to rescue?

"Three sons!" Gu Yong was shocked when he heard this, and was about to persuade him again, but saw that Sun Yi had already waved his hand to stop him and said: "Yuan Sigong doesn't need to say much, the second brother asked me to stick to the city and not to fight, but just said not to fight the Xuzhou army." At present, the chaos in the mountains is getting more and more intense, if you don't give a thunderous blow, the hearts of Danyang people will inevitably collapse in the long run. I only led 10,000 horses to attack, and you led the rest of the men and horses to defend the city. ”

"Third son, I'm afraid this is a trick of the Xuzhou army, I want to lure the third prince to send troops!" Gu Yong still admonished bitterly.

"Yuan Si Gong is too worried, he Liu Bei is very capable, how can he mobilize this Shanyue barbarian?" Sun Yi laughed when he heard this. Gu Yong was also speechless when he heard this, indeed, no matter how ruthless Liu Bei was, he was not so powerful, but they chose to forget Tao Qian, who had been dead for more than six years.

"It's okay if the third prince wants to go, bring that Yang Zheng with you, and if there is anything wrong, withdraw immediately!" Gu Yong knew that he couldn't stop Sun Yi now, but he still proposed a slightly safer plan. He also knew that although Shanyue was brave and good at fighting, he was also a rabble. Once Sun Yi comes into contact with them, even if he is invincible, it is not a problem to escape. I am afraid that his blood will surge and fight to the death with the enemy, and no matter whether he wins or loses, he will suffer heavy losses.

"I'm self-reflecting!" Knowing that Gu Yong was cautious, Sun Yi also nodded. After the moment was neatly dressed, Sun Yi ordered 10,000 horses, and Yang Zheng, who came to report the news, as a guide, rushed to Moling to save people.

"General, the fish has taken the bait!" In the city dock where the Xuzhou army was stationed, Pang Tong rushed into the door and said to Zhao Feng.

"Shi Yuan's plan is really wonderful, Sun Yi is worried about his brother's safety, and he will send troops no matter what!" Zhao Feng also smiled when he heard this. Two days ago, he and Pang Tong quietly left Anhui City and came to Susukou to arrange this plan to lure the snake out of the hole. Use Shanyue to besiege Sun Jiao of Moling, and lure Sun Yi's main force to attack. Originally, if it was a direct siege of Moling, it would inevitably arouse suspicion, so Pang Tong asked Shanyue to attack the neighboring counties first. At the same time, Zhao Feng also allocated all the 4,000 cavalry to Zhang Liao for the expedition to the south of the Yangtze River, and Zhang Liao was the best at leading the cavalry among the generals at present.

"General rest assured, the people of Jiangnan don't understand cavalry tactics, and the last general is confident that they won't be able to escape!" Zhang Liao was also full of confidence when he heard this. Since Zhao Yun came to vote, plus the blackmail of Lao Cao, and Xuzhou originally had some, now Liu Bei's cavalry in the two states adds up to more than 20,000. However, because most of the horses are Yanzhou horses, they are far from Xiliang horses and Youzhou horses and even Bingzhou horses, so the real combat ability of the cavalry is not particularly strong.

In view of this, Zhao Feng specially put a lot of effort into horse equipment. The first is to design a saddle, then to change the original unilateral stirrup to a bilateral one, and then to nail the horse's hooves to fall, and at the same time let the cavalry wear leather armor, by reducing the weight as much as possible to make the horse run faster. Under such equipment, the cavalry of Xuzhou and Yuzhou was almost all light cavalry, and under the leadership of Zhao Yun, they were trained according to the method of Gongsun Zhan to train the White Horse Yicong, and the power was even better than that of the White Horse Yicong. Mainly because of the appearance of bilateral stirrups, cavalry can even stand on horses and ride calmly, so the power is multiplied.

Of course, the most unexpected thing is that due to the appearance of horseshoes, the horse's wear resistance has been greatly improved, even in the more humid climate of Jiangnan. Since Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun were confronting Yuan Shao in Qingzhou, most of the cavalry was transferred there. This time Zhao Feng went south, considering that the cavalry under Sun Quan was only two or three thousand, it was enough to directly transfer four thousand cavalry from Yuzhou.

"Wen Da stayed behind, Wen Yuan led the cavalry to copy his back road, I led the Chinese army to meet it head-on, Wen Chang attacked the left road, and Zhongye attacked the right road." After briefly arranging the task, Zhao Feng led the whole army to prepare to meet Sun Yi.

Speaking of Sun Yi, the army rushed all the way to Moling when it left Danyang. However, the Jiangdong army was all on foot, and although it was not far from Danyang to Moling, it was not possible to reach it instantly. After running dozens of miles away from the city, Sun Yi was also a little impatient and asked Yang Zheng, who was following him on foot, "Pavilion Chief Yang, how long will it take to arrive?" ”

"It's almost there!" Yang Zheng showed a strange smile on his face, and suddenly drew his knife and slashed at one of Sun Yi's personal guards on the left, who was caught off guard by him and cut off his horse with a knife, but he lay motionless on the ground, and he was not alive when he saw it. Yang Zheng jumped on the opponent's war horse without stopping, and then galloped north.

"Bastard!" Sun Yi reacted and immediately understood that this Yang Zheng was a nuisance, and he had been plotted by the other party. However, Sun Yi followed his eldest brother Sun Ce to pacify Jiangdong, and later conquered Shanyue many times, which can be regarded as a long-term battle, and he was not slow to respond at this moment, so he hurriedly ordered his sergeants to form a formation to defend themselves, and at the same time, the rear army became the front army, preparing to kill back to Danyang.

It's just that Zhao Feng and Pang Tong set this plan to lure the snake out of the hole, how can he escape easily? Before the formation of the 10,000 Jiangdong Army was completely opened, the sound of horses' hooves was heard from the west. At the same time, there were also shouts of killing from the north, east, and south, and an encirclement centered on Sun Yi was gradually forming.
