Chapter 339: Convergence

This night, for Xiling City, a change has taken place..Fastest update visit: щщщ.79XS.сОΜ .

The Jiangdong soldiers who were still in the city yesterday were all driven away, but the granaries and equipment warehouses of Xiling City were damaged. However, the people of the major families in Xiling City enthusiastically donated food, and they quickly gathered 10,000 stone of food.

The fires in the Taishou Mansion and the county government have been extinguished. Although the fire was extinguished, it also caused great damage to the two government offices.

South 'Gate', on the castle tower.

Pang Tong met with the people of the major families, thanked them one by one, and then counted the losses.

In this battle, less than 400 barbarians were lost.

The 'private' soldiers of the major families were also returned one by one, and as for the losses, they all said that they did not need to make up for it at all.

Pang Tong arranged for the soldiers to clean up the situation, and asked Shamoke to guard the four 'gates', and then went down to rest.

The next morning, Liu Xiu led his troops to Xiling City.

Pang Tong took Shamoke to greet him, and he arched his hand and said, "My lord, I have lived up to expectations and have recaptured Xiling City and the rest of the counties. In this battle, Han Dang was killed, and more than 5,000 enemies were killed. At present, Cheng Pu, Ling Tong and Gan Ning have fled. However, I have already arranged for soldiers to intercept and kill in each county along the way, and with the losses they have suffered, even if they can escape Jiangxia County, there are not many soldiers left. ”

Liu Xiu nodded, and then entered the city.

It's just that when he heard Pang Tong say that the government and county government had been burned, Liu Xiu was curious, and after asking the reason, he learned that Pang Tong had defeated Cheng Pu's army at the cost of the government office, county government, granary and instrument warehouse, and Liu Xiu was completely convinced.

This is too big.

The army camped in the school field in the city, and Liu Xiu discussed in the big tent of the Chinese army.

Everyone sat down, Liu Xiu looked at Huang Zu and said, "Huang Taishou, now all the counties in Jiangxia, including Yi County, Qi 'Chun' County, Xia Pheasant County and other places, have been recovered. What you have to do now is to quickly reassure the people and stabilize Jiangxia County. ”

Huang Zu hugged his fists and said: "Don't worry, the lower officials will definitely stabilize the situation in the shortest possible time."

It's just that Huang Zu's heart is still worried.

After all, he lost Jiang Xia, how would Liu Xiu punish him?

Liu Xiu's eyes swept over the civil and military generals in the big tent, and then said: "In view of the defeat of this army, this official intends to set up the Fourth Army in Qi 'Chun' first, and Tai Shici will be in charge of the Fourth Army. However, Tai Shi Ci was only in charge of the army, and the Jiangxia Navy was still in charge of Huang Taishou. ”

As soon as these words came out, Huang Zu's face changed slightly.

At this time, he understood Liu Xiu's intentions, and with the help of this defeat, he directly 'inserted' Tai Shici in Jiangxia.

It's just that Huang Zu can bear this result.

What he lost was the entire Jiangxia and buried tens of thousands of soldiers, and now Liu Xiu still reinstated him as an official and put him in charge of the navy. To some extent, this is already conniving with him. However, letting Tai Shici serve as the head of the Fourth Army is obviously also intended to strengthen his control over Jiangxia County.

Huang Zu smiled and arched his hand: "The lower official obeys the orders of the lord and will fully cooperate with General Taishi." ”

Liu Xiu bowed slightly, and his face showed a satisfied expression.

Huang Zu's actions are still more general.

......

Koto, Chaisang.

After Liu Bei and his entourage went south from Nanyang County, they entered Jiujiang County, and then went south into Chaisang.

After arriving in Chaisang, Liu Xiu and his party were placed in Chaisang.

The soldiers were originally going to Wu County to report the news, but it happened that Sun Quan personally went to Yi'chun County. Sun Quan got the news, so he personally went north to Chaisang and joined Liu Bei.

Taishou House, hall.

Sun Quangao sat directly above, his eyes falling on Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Liu Qi and others. It's just that Sun Quan saw at a glance that Liu Qi was a puppet, but Sun Quan understood that with Liu Qi in hand, he had the righteousness to compete with Liu Xiu. After all, Liu Qi is the eldest son.

Sun Quan had a smile on his face and said, "Uncle Liu Huang came to Jiangdong, why did he come?"

Liu Bei smiled and said: "Wu Hou, now that Liu Xiu has no way, he came down to naturally unite with Sun Taishou to crusade against Liu Xiu and the undao. ”

Sun Quan said: "Uncle Liu Huang has no more than 10,000 under his command, how to crusade?"

Liu Bei was still neither humble nor arrogant, and said: "Wu Hou, to crusade against Liu Xiu, you not only need 'fine' sharpness, but also need a think tank. Under his command, the military general Chen Dao was outstanding in martial arts, and the strategist Zhuge Liang was outstanding in strategy. With them, it will naturally make Wu Hou much smoother. ”

Sun Quan laughed and said: "Under the command of Benhou, there is Zhang Zhao in Wen, Zhou Yu in Wu, and there are countless fierce generals. If you want to crusade against Liu Xiu, I am afraid it can be done without Uncle Liu Huang. If Uncle Liu Huang is willing to obey Benhou's dispatch, then he can. ”

For Liu Bei's soldiers, Sun Quan also knew.

Liu Bei's Bai Yu soldiers are all 'elite', this army, if it can obey his mobilization, even if it is not collected for its own use, but it is used to attack difficult places, it can also relieve his pressure.

Liu Bei still looked calm, and said: "Wu Hou, when we went south from Jiujiang County to Chaisang, we heard a news that Han Dang, Ling Tong, Gan Ning and Cheng Pu led an army to attack Jiangxia County, and finally lost their troops. Among them, Han Dang died in battle. The army under Cheng Pu has been completely lost. ”

In a word, Sun Quan's face changed greatly.

Under Sun Quan, Huang Gai had just died in battle, Han Dang died again, and for Sun Quan, two more generals died.

Such a loss, even Sun Quan felt that he could not afford it.

Sun Quan said: "Uncle Liu Huang, this can't be said 'nonsense'. ”

Liu Bei looked calm, and said: "The news from Jiangxia County must be true." Cheng Pu and the others withdrew from Jiangling County, and it was expected that they should be almost there. ”

Sun Quan glanced at Liu Bei and frowned.

If so, then it is really necessary to unite with Liu Bei.

"Report!"

Suddenly, a soldier walked in quickly.

The soldier knelt on one knee and reported: "Wu Hou, Ling Tong and Gan Ning ask to see." ”

Sun Quan chuckled in his heart, but he didn't expect to come back. He looked at Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang and said, "Uncle Liu Huang, you will go to rest for the time being." After the matter in Benhou's hands is dealt with, I will negotiate with you again. ”

"Good!"

Liu Bei's eyes showed a touch of joy, and he left with Zhuge Liang, Liu Qi and others.

After a while, Gan Ning and Ling Tong walked in quickly.

At this time, Gan Ning and Ling Tong, both of them were in shabby clothes, their faces were haggard, and they had already lost a lot of weight. At first glance, it looks like a beggar.

Sun Quan saw the two of them and asked, "The two of you are back, what about Cheng Pu and Han Dang?"

Ling Tong replied: "Back to the lord, General Han died in Jiangxia. General Cheng was wounded and is currently being treated in the army. Lord, we have failed to live up to the trust of the lord, and the Jiangxia that we captured has been lost again. ”

Sun Quan took a deep breath and asked, "What's the matter, you have already occupied Jiangxia, how can you lose it again?"

Ling Tong told little by little, starting from the attack on Anlu County, Liu Xiu's sudden entry into occupation, and then Cheng Pu's withdrawal into Xiling City, and finally being ambushed, so that Han Dang died in battle, and then evacuated from Di County, Qi 'Chun' County, Xia Pheasant County and other places, all of which are told on one side. This journey can be described as extremely difficult.

After hearing this, Sun Quan took a deep breath, but sighed lightly.

"You've worked hard. ”

At this time, Sun Quan's heart couldn't help but sigh. In such a situation, being able to escape back is already quite a good result.

It's a pity, it's a pity that Han Dang died in battle.

Sun Quan appeased Ling Tong and Gan Ning, and then let the two go down to rest.

Then, Sun Quan went to the barracks again, visited Cheng Pu and the affairs in the army, and then returned to the Taishou Mansion. At this time, he had already made up his mind and was ready to ally with Liu Bei.
