When Bu Xie had just rebelled, Lu Kang ordered Zuo Yi and Wu Yan to go up the river and attack Xiling.

However, Xiling guards the waterway, condescending, and the city is dangerous.

Zuo Yi and Wu Yan are tired and can't attack.

Before Lu Kang raised his troops, he received the news that Yanghu, Wang Rong, Yang Zhao, and Xu Yin were heading south.

Yanghu and Wang Rong attacked Jiangling, and Yang Zhao attacked Xiling, both of which were important towns, and the loss of any place would be worse for Wu's army.

There are few soldiers in the army, the generals are at a loss, and the army's heart is shaking.

Or say to help Jiangling, or say to support Xiling, or say that the army will not move, waiting for the Jianye army to come to help.

Lu Kang ordered Zuo Yi and Wu Yan to levy the nearby people, build a siege from Chixi to the old city, and block the Jin army from the inside.

He also sent people to supervise day and night.

The Wu army worked day and night, as well as guarding against the enemy army, which was extremely hard, and they all complained.

The generals said: "Today, it is advisable to and the sharpness of the three armies, rush to attack, save the Jin, and it will be able to pull out, what is the matter in the siege, with the power of the people!" ”

They all wanted to make a desperate bet and storm Xiling before the Jin army arrived.

Lu Kang said: "Xiling is solid, the grain is sufficient, and all the tools prepared for the defense are all against the rules, and now the counterattack cannot be sudden." The northern soldiers are unprepared, suffering on the surface, how can they resist it! ”

The siege force is less than the defenders, Xiling is a fortress again, the Bujia has been operating for forty years, once the attack can not be taken, the soldiers are tired, Yanghu leads 80,000 troops to besiege, and the whole Jingzhou will say goodbye to Dongwu.

Lu Kang also served as the governor of Xiling for several years and knew the reality of this city.

But he knows the truth and the truth, and others don't.

Yidu Taishou Lei Tan said earnestly, "Jingzhou is the barrier of the country, Xiling is the barrier of Jingzhou, if Xiling is lost, Jingzhou does not exist, the country does not exist, at this time, you should fight with your life, why not be afraid of life and death!" ”

Lu Kangxin was appointed as the general of the town army, and the annexed Shi family was not convinced.

Jingzhou generals have many doubts.

Lu Kang calmed the hearts of the people, and made Lei Tan lead the troops as the striker, and the generals followed.

Within two days, the news of Lei Tan's fiasco came back.

The morale of the Wu army dropped again, and the generals were panicked.

But by this time, Changwei had already been built.

Lu Kang wanted to go to Xiling to supervise the battle, and all the generals thought that Jiangling was even more precarious, and the 50,000 troops of Yanghu and Wang Rong were attacking Jiangling, and there were about 10,000 defenders in the city.

Lu Resistance is overwhelmed, "Gangneung City is solid and has nothing to worry about." If the enemy does not have Jiangling, he will not be able to defend it, and the damage will be small. If the Xiling is knotted, then the Nanshan Mountains should be disturbed, and it is difficult to talk about the worries. I'd rather abandon Gangneung and go to Xiling, but Gangneung is firm? ”

Lu Kang would rather give up Jiangling than take back Xiling.

Then he ordered the public security governor Sun Zun to wait for the enemy on the south bank of the Yangtze River, in case the Yanghu army suddenly crossed south, and the naval army governor Liuyu and Zhenxi general Zhu Wan intercepted Xu Yin's army, and led the army to confront Yang Zhao with Changwei.

The Wu army could not capture Xiling, and the Jin army could not capture Jiangling.

Along the Yangtze River, Xiling, Jiangling, Gong'an, and Lexiang, if you take any place, the defense line of Soochow will collapse.

But Wu Jun trembled and held on.

"Why should the governor be anxious about this battle?" Wang Rong has wide clothes and sleeves, and speaks elegantly, even in front of the two armies, he does not change his style of famous soldiers, and resolutely does not wear armor, but in the late autumn season, he is bare-chested, untidy, and his face is red, and he either drinks or takes Wushi San.

This person was born in the Langya Wang family, and his grandfather was the famous former Youzhou Thorn Wang Xiong.

Wang's family has become famous in recent years and has become the top gate valve in the Central Plains.

When the Taibao and Suiling Duke Wang Xiang were his cousins.

Wang Yi, the former assassin of Jingzhou, was Wang Rong's uncle.

Although Sima Yan's mother, Wang Yuanji, is not from the Langya Wang family, she can still climb each other with a single blow.

Wang Rong became famous at a young age, and became friends with Ji Kang, Ruan Ji, and Shantao, and was one of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, but he was also the first to take refuge in the Sima family.

It is highly valued by the Sima family.

"Ding Feng leads the elite of Jiangdong to rush to help, between the moon, you can trace the river and reach the general, the king of Dongguan County is still in Wancheng, the enemy army first, our army is behind, and Ding Feng is the Jiangdong general, once he joins forces with Lu Kang, the outcome is unpredictable." Yanghu is not anxious, but time is not waiting for me.

Wang Rong flipped his sleeves, "Haha, the governor is too worried, in the battle of Yiyang, the Wu people broke their courage, although Ding Feng was brave, he was old, and he could break it all together!" ”

"What the king said is very true!" Immediately a crowd of people around touted.

Of course, "Baume & Mercier" had a lot of retinue around him.

These people are all like Wang Rong, their faces are flushed, and they are talking in the autumn breeze in single clothes.

Before the battle was decided, everyone was already discussing which famous places in Soochow were worth visiting, and where the beauties had the thinnest and softest waists......

Yanghu watched coldly and remained silent.

Finally, Wang Rong found that the atmosphere was wrong, "If this battle is won, the governor will definitely be ranked as the third duke, congratulations!" ”

"From today onwards, no alcohol is allowed in the army, no Dan is allowed, this is a military order, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!" Yang Hu threw down a sentence and left.

Gangneung has not been able to attack for a long time, and it has nothing to do with these people.

Every move of the people above, the eyes of the soldiers below.

Wang Rong has empty mouth and white teeth, can only talk, and calls friends in the army, either feasting or drinking, or party clothes.

How can morale be high?

Looking at Yanghu's resolute back, Wang Rong snorted coldly.

Seeing that the eyes of his entourage fell on his face, Wang Rong felt that he had been swept away, and the Langya Wang clan and the Taishan Goat clan were both Shandong scholars, and the two families were still married.

Yanghu is a real talent, and Wang Rong is in a mixed circle, touting each other, and won the title of a celebrity, so Yanghu has long disliked Wang Rong and thinks that he is just a vain name.

"This morning, the king of Runan sent me green plum wine, you can get drunk with me!" Wang Rong waved his sleeves and ignored Yanghu's military orders.

"Make Jun Yaliang, Yanghu is not as big as it!" There was another round of hype around.

That night everyone drank together.

It happened that Zhang Xian selected 500 elite people who dared to die and attacked the camp at night.

The terrain of Jiangling was well known to the Wu army, and they entered the camp, shouting and shouting, and the Jin army was in chaos.

Wang Rong was drowsy, thinking that the enemy army was so big, he panicked, and ordered the Yuzhou soldiers to temporarily retreat, causing a fire in the camp.

The armies were in confusion and trampled on each other, causing other camps.

Zhang Xian waved his army to kill.

Compared with Tianming, there were more than 700 casualties, and the block was blocked, the morale of the Jin army plummeted, more than 4,000 stones of grain and grass were burned, and other losses were countless.

Yanghu found out the reason, was furious, and wanted to behead Wang Rong by military law.

However, Wang Rong was extremely famous, and Sima Liang, the king of Runan, Sima Ling, the king of Dongguan, and the generals in the army pleaded for mercy.

Since the time of Sima Yi, Yanghu has known that he tends to be auspicious and avoids evil, and the Wang family is entrenched in the court, killing Wang Rong today, and Yanghu's career will come to an end tomorrow.

The Jingzhou generals were also serving under Wang Yi, and when they saw that Wang Rong was in trouble, they also pleaded for mercy.

If you can't kill it, you can simply send it to the rear, out of sight and out of mind.

After this incident, the Jin army was scattered and demoralized, and the attack on Jiangling was even more lazy and lazy.

The so-called advantage went in half.

Yanghu can only sigh to Gangneung City.

The composition of the Jin army is complex, and it has not been half a year since Yanghu was governor of Jingzhou, and the people's hearts have not been decided.
