Chapter 163: Siege of Gangneung
The raid on Gong'an City was very successful, not only annihilating the defenders of Gong'an City, but also capturing the defender Fu Shiren, while the Wu army barely encountered decent resistance and suffered few casualties, which made LΓΌ Meng very satisfied, but he was not satisfied with this, and conquering Jiangling became LΓΌ Meng's next goal.
In the Gong'an City General's Mansion, Lu Meng and Wu Jun generals are listed according to their ranks, and Lu Xun sits under Lu Meng's left head, ranking above the generals.
When Lu Meng saw that all the generals had arrived, he slapped the "Tiger Might" on the table, and the hall suddenly fell silent. The so-called "Huwei" is similar to the shocking wood used by civil officials when we commonly hear cases, but the people used are different, and the name has changed. The emperor used the name "gentian", which means that the emperor heard it all over the world to show his supreme power. The queen used it was called "Fengxia", and the concubine used it was called "Fengxia", also known as "Fengxia". The name used by civil officials is "shocking hall", which is often referred to as "shocking hall wood". The military generals used it is called "Tiger Might" or "Tiger Courage" to shock the military might. Chinese culture is broad and profound, which can be seen from this.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have taken the Public Security City, and the next step is Jiangling! Jiangling is the old capital of Chu, after the Han Dynasty according to Jingzhou, it has been governed by Jingzhou for more than 400 years, the city is high and deep, the soldiers are good and the food is sufficient, and the non-public security city is comparable, you must remember not to take it lightly! "Lu Meng also attaches much more importance to Jiangling than to the police.
"Obey the orders of the Grand Governor!" The generals replied in unison.
"Good!" Lu Meng nodded to express his satisfaction, and then nodded: "Ling Tong, how is the investigation of Jiangling City's city defense settings, troop deployment, grain and grass allocation, etc.?" β
Ling Tong attended, bowed and saluted, and reported with his hands and fists: "Qiyu Metropolitan Governor, Jiangling City is divided into four gates, with the north gate and the east gate equipped with the most troops, and the defense is also the most tight, Jiangling City originally garrisoned 20,000 people, after Guan Yu's Northern Expedition, 15,000 soldiers were successively transferred from Jiangling to the north, and now Jiangling will not have more than 5,000 soldiers to fight, but Jiangling City has a large population, if they drive the people to defend the city, it is not easy to calculate!" There was plenty of grain in the city, enough for an army of 50,000 for three years. β
After hearing this, Lu Meng smiled slightly and said, "Good guy, did you hear it, Jiangling City is simply a big granary!" After capturing Gangneung, our army will not have to worry about food for three years! β
"Hahaha!" When the soldiers heard this, they laughed.
"Smack!" Lu Meng slapped "Huwei", and the hall instantly fell silent.
Lu Meng continued: "Ding Feng, you can tell me about the situation in the direction of Fancheng!" β
When Ding Feng heard this, he attended, and reported with his hands and fists: "Governor Qiqi, so far, there has been no movement in Fancheng, and a certain general speculates that it may be that we have pulled out the warning eyes and ears of the Jingzhou Army before we marched, and blocked all the main roads for the public security to go north, so Fancheng and Jiangling have not yet received the news that the public security has been captured!" β
After hearing this, Lu Meng nodded and said, "Our first attack is this time, so the secrecy of our march is very important, and we did a good job in the early stage!" Also watch out for the next stage! I order, Ding Feng and Han Dang each command 5,000 troops to be stationed on the official road from Fancheng to Gangneung and Gong'an, if Fancheng sends troops to rescue Gangneung, we must block it north of the Han River at all costs until our army conquers Gangneung! β
"The last general obeys!"
"The last general obeys!"
Ding Feng and Han Dang were ordered to retreat.
"Lu Xun, Gan Ning, Pan Zhang, and Jiang Qin obey orders!" Lu Meng continued to order.
"The last general!" Four will attend, bow down.
Lu Meng took the token and said loudly: "The four of you will set off tonight with five thousand elite soldiers to secretly surround Jiangling, but don't attack, just complete the encirclement!" Wait until tomorrow's follow-up army arrives, and then attack! Make no mistake! β
"No!" The four of them took the order and left.
Lu Meng stood up, drew his sword, and said loudly: "Success or failure will determine the Ming Dynasty!" I hope that all the gentlemen will focus on the hegemony of the monarch and the prince, unite sincerely, and achieve great success together! β
All the generals attended, pointed their swords to the sky and swore an oath: "Sincere unity, great success together!" β
In the early morning of the next day, when Mi Fang woke up and went to inspect the city as usual, tens of thousands of Wu troops with clear banners under the city almost scared our General Mi Fang from the city tower!
"What's going on? What the hell is going on? Mi Fang jumped like thunder, called the sentinel over and asked angrily.
The sentinel knelt on the ground, his whole body trembled, and he said tremblingly: "The last general, the last general doesn't know what is going on!" There was no warning from the beacon tower in front, I don't know what happened to the road, as soon as the general woke up, the Wu army was already in the city! β
When Mi Fang heard this, she was even more furious, and pulled out the saber on her waist with a "poof", "What do you want you to do?" As he spoke, he stabbed the sentinel to death with a sword.
But he didn't want to be dragged by one person, Mi Fang looked back, but it was Liao Li, the head of Nanjun.
"Gongyuan, why did you stop me?" Mi Fang's eyes widened, and her hair rushed to the crown.
Liao Li smiled slightly, and asked rhetorically: "It's already like this, even if the general kills him, it won't help!" β
When Mi Fang heard this, she felt that it made sense, sighed deeply, and threw the sword on the ground with a "bang", "Don't get out yet!" β
When the sentinel heard this, he ran down the tower as if he had been pardoned.
Mi Fang pointed to the Wu army under the city and asked, "Gongyuan!" Look what we should do now! β
Liao Li looked at the Wu army under the city, with a calm face, and said with a smile: "Jiangling City is high and deep, the grain and grass are sufficient, it is not so easy for the Wu army to conquer Jiangling, not to mention that my Northern Expedition army has won a complete victory, and the triumphant return is only in these few days, now that Jiangling is besieged, the news will definitely spread to Fancheng soon, as long as the general holds Jiangling for four or five days, and wait for our army to return to the division, at that time, it will be the time of the destruction of the Wu army!" β
Mi Fang thought for a while and nodded, "It makes sense, but now that Jiangling is besieged, who can go out of the city to deliver news to us?" β
Liao Li smiled when he heard this, and said: "General Heizi is the leader of the secret guard of the Fuxing Society, and the henchman of General Zhuge Xiao, with him, are you still worried that the news will not be delivered?" β
Mi Fang thought about it at this time, and couldn't help but hold her forehead and said in annoyance: "Hahaha, look at my brain, how did I forget this baby!" β
After speaking, he took Liao Li and strode down the city tower and went straight to the mansion.
Heizi was sent by Young Master Zhuge to bring the investigation report on Jiangdong to Chengdu and handed it over to Liu Bei and Zhuge Daddy, and then Liu Bei was ready to calculate Jiangdong with a treacherous plan, so he sent Heizi and Sun Qian to recall Guan Yu back to Yizhou with Liu Bei's handwritten edict, ready to lure the snake out of the hole. But what Liu Bei didn't expect was that Dongwu started faster than he imagined, Xiao Hei was going to wait for Guan Yu to enter Shu and then take Liu Bei's handwritten letter to Fancheng and tell Liu Bei's plan to tell Young Master Zhuge about his plan, but he didn't expect that before he left Jiangling, Jiangling was surrounded by the Wu army.
Therefore, when Heizi saw Mi Fang and Liao Li coming to him to ask for a way to send a message for help to Fancheng, Heizi was speechless, and said in his heart that if Gongzi hadn't taught Lao Tzu a trick before, the entire Jingzhou would have been buried by your group of goods!
