Chapter 131: Attacking the Lujiang River
"Immediately lead the army to attack?"
Yan Liang was stunned when he heard this, and a look of doubt flashed in his eyes.
"Lord, Sun Jian has obviously promised to cede Lujiang County to us, why do you want to do this?"
Hearing this, Yuan Shang immediately sneered.
"Ceded to us?"
"It's just a delaying ploy by those guys."
"It only takes three days to send troops from the rear of Yangzhou to support Lujiang County."
"And they just had three days left."
"Isn't that enough to say anything?"
Hear Yuan Shang's words.
Yan Liang suddenly realized.
"Lord, are you saying that Sun Jian is pretending to cede it, but in fact he wants to secretly Chen Cang?"
Yuan Shang nodded when he heard this.
"In any case, our relationship with Sun Jian has already been concluded."
"Anyway, sooner or later, there will be a war, so it is better to take advantage of the opportunity of Liu Hong to lead his troops to attack Wuling County and annex Sun Jian in one fell swoop."
"When the time comes, our strength will be even better."
"The land in Yangzhou is very fertile."
The corners of Yuan Shang's mouth hooked up a faint smile.
Actually, that's all that has been said.
His ultimate goal is Sun Jian's Yangzhou.
It is to be able to swallow half of the land in Yangzhou.
At that time, sweet potato cultivation can be promoted on a larger scale.
Yangzhou is also home to a large population.
Food is abundant, and the soldiers are strong.
At that time, Yuan Yao will not be a problem at all.
"This attack on Lujiang County is bound to move quickly."
"We must not let the people of Lujiang County perceive our intentions and thunder to destroy their living force."
"I guess these guys are still in their dreams, right?"
Yuan Shang sneered.
Liu Hong and Yuan Yao are both in action.
Naturally, he was not to be outdone.
Let's take Sun Jian to open the knife!
With the issuance of Yuan Shang's order.
The army was quickly regrouped and assembled.
The Dragon's Thunderbolt is also equipped into the launcher, ready to fire at any time.
Half an hour was fast in coming.
"The whole army obeys the order! Charge with Ben! ”
"Stepping on Lujiang County!"
Yan Liang let out a loud shout and led an army of 50,000 to gallop in the direction of Lujiang County.
Wen Chou led another 50,000 troops to make a detour, intending to deliver a fatal blow from the rear of Lujiang County.
Not much.
Lujiang County.
Front City.
Xia Ziming, who was about to lie down and rest, suddenly heard the shouting and killing sound from outside, and suddenly sat up.
"What's the situation?"
"What's going on out there?"
He hurriedly put on his armor and walked out of the house quickly.
"General! Oh no! The army from outside the city is coming! ”
A general rushed in crying.
Hearing this, Xia Ziming's complexion changed suddenly.
"What?"
"Yuan Shang, they called?"
At the moment, he didn't care about anything, and hurriedly ran to the city.
Look around.
I saw a large army attacking outside the city.
The sound of killing shook the sky.
Xia Ziming, who had never seen such a big battle, immediately felt a little weak in his legs.
This...... Why did Yuan Shang call suddenly?
Haven't the terms for peace talks already been agreed?
"Quick! Open the gates and prepare the horses! ”
Xia Ziming hurriedly ordered.
Immediately afterwards, he took a few cronies and rode in the direction of Yuan Shang's army.
"General Yan Liang! Didn't we already talk about peace talks? ”
"Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
"It's a bit too villainous to do this!"
Xia Ziming took the lead.
Yan Liang immediately sneered when he heard this, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by another voice.
"Hehe, peace talks? How have you ever been sincere in making peace with us? ”
"Sun Jian's reinforcements will arrive in three days at the latest, right? That's why you set aside three days. ”
"Such a clumsy trick also wants to deceive me, could it be that Sun Jian treats me Yuan Shang as a three-year-old child?"
Yuan Shang stood in front of Xia Ziming and asked in an extremely low voice.
As soon as these words came out.
Xia Ziming's turbulent momentum disappeared in an instant.
Instead, there was a hint of panic.
How is this possible?
How did he know!
seemed to be aware of Xia Ziming's panic.
Yuan Shang suddenly smiled and said, "I didn't expect to be really right?" ”
"The dignified Jiangdong celebrities will use such clumsy means to deceive, let alone occupy the territory of Yangzhou."
Listening to Yuan Shang's words.
Xia Ziming's head lowered more and more.
Although he wanted to refute Yuan Shang, he didn't know where to refute for a while.
"Yan Liang, kill him!"
That's when it happened.
Yuan Shang suddenly opened his mouth and ordered.
And Yan Liang didn't hesitate at all, and immediately drew his knife to kill Xia Ziming.
Seeing this, the latter looked shocked and hurriedly retreated to dodge.
"The whole army obeys the order! Set foot in Lujiang County! ”
Yuan Shang shouted.
In an instant, the 50,000 army erupted in unison, and the earth-shattering shouts of killing broke out.
Hundreds of dragon roars erupted suddenly.
And then it fell on the head of the city.
The defenders of Lujiang County also quickly began to counterattack.
The same hundreds of dragon roars roared out.
This was followed by a tragic bloody battle between the two sides.
"The rats are gone!"
Yan Liang shouted violently, and the long knife in his hand rotated, about to slam at Xia Ziming's head.
It just so happened that Xia Ziming looked back, and he was suddenly frightened, and hurriedly lowered his head to dodge.
The long knife slashed across his helmet, making an acidic metal grinding sound.
Xia Ziming only felt that his brain was buzzing.
Fortunately, he finally ran into the defensive range of Lujiang County.
Hundreds of arrows were fired from Yan Liang's way.
Yan Liang had no choice but to watch Xia Ziming run away.
At this time, the battle between Yuan Shang's army and the defenders of Lujiang County also started rapidly.
The battlefield suddenly resounded with shouts and screams.
Xia Ziming, who fled back to the city, gasped for breath and had palpitations.
It's so dangerous, I almost got killed.
Xia Ziming couldn't help but secretly scold Yuan Shang for not following the rules.
After calming down a little, he immediately went to the head of the city to direct the battle.
I saw that Yuan Shang's army had already set up huge siege ladders and rushed over with arrows in the sky.
The shields erected one after another firmly blocked the arrows shot by the defenders of Lujiang County, and they couldn't get in for half a minute.
Seeing such a situation.
Xia Ziming's face became more and more pale.
If it continues like this.
I'm afraid that Lujiang County won't be able to support the arrival of reinforcements.
And more importantly.
Yuan Shang's siege army looked like it was only 50,000 at most.
Where did the other 50,000 go?
Xia Ziming tried his best to look and find the traces of the remaining 50,000 troops.
But no matter how much he looked, he didn't see it.
The doubts in my heart are even greater.
At the same time as Yuan Shang attacked Lujiang County.
Liu Hong's side also digested the achievements of this period of time.
At this point, Jingzhou returned to Liu Hong's hands again.
Without any hesitation, Liu Hong appointed Liu Biao as the head of the Jingzhou Theater.
After all, Jingzhou was Liu Biao's at the beginning.
Now it's well deserved.
After dealing with all this.
The next thing is to attack Yangzhou.
