Chapter 477: Jiangnan Dilemma
Danyang County Government.
Ji Ling stood on the city tower and looked directly at the military camp outside, and his heart suddenly sank for some reason. These days I feel a little restless, and I don't know why. The change in the battle situation is in Lujiang County in the north, if Sun Ce's troops can capture Lujiang County, they can go straight to Anhui County and other places, forcing the soldiers and horses of Chaohu to have to go back to defense. At that time, Liu Ye's troops were scattered, and the lord could go down in one go.
"There may be changes in the soldiers and horses of Yuzhang outside the city"
"There is no change in the Lord of the Enlightenment"
One of the guards replied respectfully.
Listening to this voice, Ji Ling suddenly felt a little more depressed for some reason.
Look around ahead, commanding without thinking.
"Send a horse to investigate the movements of Yuzhang's soldiers and horses in detail"
"No"
The soldier bowed, then turned away.
Listening to the footsteps that were gradually moving away, Ji Ling fell into deep thought. However, the familiar and hurried voice pulled him back to reality.
"General Ji, something is wrong"
"Brother Joe"
Ji Ling hurriedly looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw a middle-aged man sweating profusely holding a roll of bamboo slips, and the depressing atmosphere was even stronger.
Qiao Rui handed the bamboo slip in his hand to Ji Ling.
"Failure to Hold on to Compliance"
"What?"
Ji Ling didn't react, Huiji County was in the belly of our army, how could he be attacked. Could it be that the wealthy clan of Wu County rebelled against the lord? If this is the case, it should be Wu County, not Huiji County.
"The specific situation is on this bamboo slip, you can watch it in detail"
"Bamboo slips?"
Ji Ling reacted, hurriedly dispelled the doubts in his heart, and quickly opened the bamboo slip.
Looking around at the bamboo slips, a heart sank to the bottom.
After a while, he gasped and said to Qiao Rui in a heavy tone.
"Shanyue Pengqing surrendered to Yuzhang too shou Jia Nian? Three thousand Shanyue soldiers and three thousand Yuzhang elite cavalry have swept through Huiji County and knocked Wu County? ”
"This? Where did Yuzhang get the three thousand fine horses? ”
Ji Ling asked Qiao Rui, his eyes full of shock. The loss of Huiji County was no less than a thunderbolt. At the beginning, his defeat had already made the hearts of the wealthy people of Wu County fluctuate, and at this time, Yuzhang swept through the land of a county, wouldn't it be a earth-shaking change.
It is foreseeable that there is already a dark tide surging in Wu County, and a huge storm may be brewing.
Troops must be sent to Wu County immediately to exterminate Yuzhang and Shanyue soldiers.
"Brother Qiao is familiar with the terrain of Jiangnan, and now the war is all over Huiji County, so I'm afraid I will bother you to take a trip."
"This is exactly what the end will"
Qiao Rui said to Ji Ling, because the matter was urgent, he only talked about official affairs, not personal relations, and called himself the last general.
Ji Ling slowly closed the bamboo slip, and there was a trace of sadness.
"Where does General Qiao think these three thousand Yuzhang soldiers and horses were transferred to Yu Khan from?"
"If it is expected, it should be the enemy outside the city"
"Out of town?"
"Does the general remember how long it has been since Yu Zhang Taishou appeared in front of the two armies?"
"Yuzhang Taishou?"
Ji Ling was suddenly startled, and immediately figured out the joints in it, and couldn't help but feel a wave of hatred.
staring at the outside of the city, all the things that happened during this time were connected.
"It's a good Yuzhang Taishou, no wonder, no wonder I haven't seen his trace during this time"
"In this way, the soldiers and horses who attacked Huiji County are Yuzhang Taishou"
Ji Ling said word by word.
Qiao Rui nodded heavily, with a complicated look in her eyes.
"Jia Nian's son can jump up in Changhe Village, not by chance, but by real ability"
"It's rare to hear this from Brother Qiao's mouth"
"Today, the Jia family in Anhui County is also thin and famous, but now the dilapidated ones are still a little worse after all"
Qiao Rui said to Ji Ling.
Ji Ling only remembered the relationship between Qiao Rui and the Jia family of Anhui County at this time, and a look of hesitation appeared in his eyes. When I thought of Qiao Rui's personality, I was relieved.
"I believe in Brother Qiao, there is a clear distinction between public and private"
"Now the situation is critical, Wu County and Huiji are empty, and we must rush back to help before Yuzhang guards Jia Nian"
"Therefore, I hope that Brother Qiao will lead his 5,000 soldiers and horses to go"
Ji Ling said to Qiao Rui.
Qiao Rui couldn't help but be taken aback, and subconsciously blurted out.
"By no means, there are only 10,000 soldiers and horses in the city, if my troops leave the city, how can we resist the attack of Yuzhang's soldiers and horses outside the city?"
"There are only 7,000 soldiers outside the city, and the advantage of our troops occupying the fortified city can force them back, and Danyang and Jiujiang are next to each other. If the war is unfavorable for our army, the lord can send reinforcements from the Marquis of Hefei to gallop there."
"This?"
Qiao Rui hesitated.
Thinking about it carefully, this is indeed the truth, the capital city of Danyang County is high and deep, and five thousand soldiers and horses can indeed compete with seven thousand people here. Moreover, Jia Nian raised 10,000 troops, and he stopped here with the momentum of a great victory, so he was not afraid of the benefits of the city wall.
"The war is urgent, please Brother Qiao immediately lead the troops and horses of the headquarters"
"Well, after the last general exterminates the Yuzhang soldiers and horses that attacked Huiji and Wu County, he will tie Jia Nian's son in front of the lord."
"Okay, Ben will wait for Brother Qiao's good news in Danyang City"
"Someone Coming"
"In"
"Holding two jars of good wine, I was going to see off General Qiao"
"No"
The guards shouted loudly, followed by the dense footsteps.
After a while, two jars of wine were brought over and handed to the two of them.
Ji Ling and Qiao Rui toasted each other, and then poured it into their mouths.
bang
The wine jar fell to the ground and scattered in all directions, and Qiao Rui turned around and walked downstairs without saying a word.
Looking at the back that was gradually moving away, Ji Ling lowered his command to the guards behind him.
"Report the matter to the Lord"
"No"
One of the guards replied loudly, then turned and walked downstairs.
Ji Ling turned to look at the endless Yuzhang military camp outside the city, and the expression on his face gradually became solemn. Peng Qing's defection made himself fall into an extremely passive situation, and the fall of Huiji County has become an ironclad time, I hope that Wu County can hold it, otherwise the general trend has gone and can only withdraw from Danyang and stick to Jiujiang.
Yuzhang, who has been loyal to the Shanyue clan, is no longer the Yuzhang of the past, and with the wealth in the Yuzhang Mansion is enough to recruit a Shanyue army with more than 10,000 soldiers. That is to say, the military advantage under the command of the lord has disappeared with the allegiance of Yuzhang and the Shanyue clan.
The speed must be fast, seize the front of Yuzhang to hold Wu County, and capture Lujiang in order to regain an overwhelming advantage.
As for this place?
There was a hint of murderous intent in Ji Ling's eyes, but then he quickly retracted.
After all, there are 7,000 soldiers and horses outside the city, and the troops did not dare to take the initiative to attack before, if although the morale of Yuzhang's soldiers and horses is not as high as it was at the beginning, although time passes. However, the city has already divided its troops, and it is obviously not advisable to take the initiative to attack with an advantage. I hope that Qiao Rui can hold Wu County, and then with a big victory, he can wave his army to defeat the Yuzhang soldiers and horses in front.
"Send more scouts and pay close attention to the situation in the Quartet"
"No"
All the guards shouted violently at Ji Ling in unison.
