It is also unrealistic to want to break through Gangneung through the method of siege.

Everyone deliberated for a while, but they didn't come up with a detailed strategy.

Therefore, Yang Ling planned to arrive at Jiangling City first, and then make other plans.

"Pass on my military order, immediately pull out the camp and go to Gangneung."

Yang Ling said in a deep voice,

"In addition, send someone back to Xiangyang, inform Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, and let the two of them lead the warship south to guard Xiakou."

Although Lankouju was captured by Cao's army, Liu Bei, Liu Qi, and even Jiangdong's sailors still had the possibility of entering Hanshui from Xiakou and thus attacking the rear of Cao's army.

When Yang Ling attacked Xiangyang City, most of the sailors were taken away by Guan Yu.

Although the remaining warships were not enough to attack Gangneung from the waterway, it was still enough to defend Xiakou.

Moreover, among Cao Jun, there are also big killers such as fierce fire oil tanks.

If Liu Bei's warship arrives, they will definitely have no return!

With Yang Ling's order, Cao Jun immediately took action.

After two days of rapid marching, they also arrived at Gangneung without any problems.

I saw that within a radius of 100 steps outside Jiangling City, there was no cover, and if you wanted to attack, there was no barrier at all.

The moat that surrounds the city is thirty paces wide and ten paces deep.

Gangneung Fortress is tall and sturdy, and from a distance, the city walls are piled up with all kinds of defense equipment.

"It is worthy of being a fortified city on a par with Xiangyang, this Jiangling City is really majestic and magnificent!"

Gan Ning on the side couldn't help but sigh.

If Wei Yan hadn't taken the initiative to surrender, Cao Jun would have paid a heavy price if he wanted to take Xiangyang City.

But this time to attack Gangneung City, there was no internal response in the city.

How can this be done?

Yang Ling had no clue for a while, so he could only temporarily order the army to set up camp outside the city.

……

On the head of Gangneung Fortress.

Looking at Cao Jun who was camping in the distance, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and others had no intention of going out of the city to harass them.

"Looking at Cao Jun's posture, it seems that he is planning to besiege us."

Liu Bei said softly.

"Although Cao's army has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, Jiangling has iron walls and iron walls, and a large amount of grain and grass is hoarded, and the Yangtze River can continuously transport grain and grass."

"Where did he Yang Ling get the confidence to be able to take Jiangling City?"

Liu Qi said disdainfully.

Since escaping to Gangneung City, he has not been idle.

Relying on the identity of Liu Biao's eldest son and Zhuge Liang's lobbying, Wuling Taishou Jin Xuan, Changsha Taishou Han Xuan, Guiyang Taishou Zhao Fan, and Lingling Taishou Liu Du expressed their willingness to serve Liu Qi as the main one, and sent people to send a large amount of money and grain.

Now Liu Qi and Liu Bei are definitely strong soldiers.

Not to mention guarding Jiangling, he even has the ambition to counterattack Cao's army and recover Xiangyang!

"Having said that, we can't be careless, after all, Yang Ling is extremely cunning!"

Zhuge Liang smiled faintly.

"What the military advisor said is extremely true."

Everyone nodded.

At this moment, Jian Yong walked quickly onto the city wall and said with a smile,

"Good news, lord and governor! The envoy of Jiangdong is about to arrive, and he is coming towards the city. ”

Hearing this, everyone was immediately refreshed!

Cao Cao is in the land of several states, and his strength is incomparably strong.

With only half of Jingzhou, it is extremely reluctant to confront him.

The wisest thing is to join forces with Jiangdong to fight Cao together!

Now that the Jiangdong envoy has arrived, how can he not make everyone happy?

"Zhou Mu, let's go over to greet the envoy of Jiangdong, right?"

Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

Liu Qi hesitated, but nodded and said,

"Okay, everything is up to my uncle."

The people got out of the city and went straight to the pier south of the city.

At this time, on the water surface of the Yangtze River outside Jiangling City, a warship with the banner of the word "Sun" slowly sailed slowly.

I saw a handsome and tall man standing at the bow of the boat.

Looking at the majestic and magnificent Gangneung City in front of him, he couldn't help but smile and said,

"With this Jiangling City, presumably Yang Ling can't attack it, right?"

"Gong Jin's words are wrong, there are no absolutes in everything. Besides, Yang Ling has a ghost plan, maybe there is really a way to take Jiangling. ”

A Qingshan literati stepped forward, shook his head and smiled.

Not bad.

The two of them were the envoys sent by Sun Quan, Zhou Yu and Lu Su.

Listening to Lu Su's words, Zhou Yu just smiled disapprovingly, and didn't seem to take it to heart.

At this moment, their ship docked at the dock.

Zhou Yu, Lu Su and his party had just stepped off the boat when they met Liu Bei and others.

"Presumably Your Excellency is Governor Zhou Gongjin, this one should be Mr. Zijing, right?"

Liu Bei greeted him warmly, held the hands of the two, and said with a smile,

"It's better to be famous than to meet!"

"Uncle Liu Huang is really polite. You and Mr. Zhou Mu and Mr. Kong Ming are also extraordinary, compared with you, we are far from us! ”

Lu Su said with a smile.

After the two sides blew each other's business, Liu Bei, Liu Qi and others led Zhou Yu and his party into Jiangling City.

The lobby of the county guard's house.

After they were seated, Liu Bei also went straight to the point.

"It's not a secret, I invited the two of you here today just to discuss the matter of joining forces to fight Cao!"

Zhou Yu and Lu Su glanced at each other, and then smiled lightly,

"That's what we are here for!"

When Liu Bei and the others heard this, their faces immediately showed joy.

But Zhou Yu continued,

"But before that, Your Excellency has a question."

"Oh, please speak up."

"We Jiangdong are sincerely joining forces with you to fight against Cao, but I don't know what the state pastor means?"

Zhou Yu said, his eyes had already fallen on Liu Qi.

After becoming the lord of Jiangdong and stabilizing the situation in Jiangdong, Sun Quan had the intention of expanding outward.

However, Zhang Liao was in Hefei and Sun Quan sent people to attack many times, but they were all in vain.

Therefore, he set his sights on Jiangxia County in the east and west of the river.

In the past few years, Jiangdong and Jiangxia have also fought fiercely several times, and the two sides have a lot of hatred.

So when Zhou Yu's voice landed, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense!

Liu Bei smiled slightly,

"Governor Zhou doesn't have to worry, the governor and I are both sincerely anti-Cao!"

"That's right. At the moment of the great enemy, previous grievances can be put on hold for the time being. ”

Liu Qi said in a muffled voice.

"In that case, then we can rest assured."

Zhou Yu nodded,

"I don't know what Uncle Liu Huang wants to do together?"

Liu Bei nodded at Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang stepped forward knowingly, pointed to the picture that was hanged, and said eloquently,

"Yang Ling's army is well-armoured, and the combat strength of the soldiers is amazing. If it's a head-on confrontation, we're not an opponent. ”

"After the discussion between the lord and the state pastor, we are determined to rely on the solidity of Jiangling to fight against Cao's army."

"At the same time, I also ask the Governor and Mr. Zijing to mobilize the Jiangdong Navy Division and march with us from Xiakou to Hanshui."

"As long as Hanshui is taken, not only will the siege of Jiangling not be broken, but it will also be able to attack Xiangyang directly."

"I don't know what Mr. Zhou Dudu and Mr. Zijing think?"
