"Mundapif! Ann dares to deceive me like this!! ”

Xu Shu put down the letter in his hand, slapped the case, and reprimanded angrily.

Guan Yu could see on the map the convenience of Yidu County sending troops to rescue Nanjun, how could Xu Shu not see it.

Therefore, as early as the barbarian turmoil in Wuling County, after Xu Shu found out that Jiangdong had sent troops, he guessed that Lü Meng would send troops to attack Nanjun and attack Jiangling City.

Xu Shu has long thought about dealing with this.

On Wuling's side, because of the barbarian rebellion, he couldn't get out of it for a while, and Xu Shu was indeed a little calculated by Lu Meng.

But Xu Shu was not without a backhand, while he left a reserve of 1,000 people as a mobile force, he also immediately wrote to Meng Da of Yidu County, asking him to quickly send troops to rescue Jiangling City, prevent Lü Meng's sneak attack, break through Jiangling, and occupy Nanjun.

But seven or eight days passed, and Xu Shu only received a reply letter from Meng Da, and the content of the letter was similar to what Zhang Xi had guessed.

It was under the pretext that there was a lack of troops, that they wanted to defend the passage into Sichuan, that the place was unstable, and so on, and refused to send troops to rescue Nanjun.

And Xu Shu still has no way to take Meng Da.

After all, nominally speaking, Xu Shu and Meng Da are of the same level, they are just a county guard, and Xu Shu has no qualifications to order Meng Da.

And what Meng Da is thinking now, in fact, Xu Shu has guessed it somewhat.

This is just a villain who sees the benefits and gives up when he sees the responsibilities.

It is indeed a fact that Yidu County has insufficient troops, but the problem is that he is not asked to lead his troops to break Jiangdong's army, but just to ask him to send troops to aid Jiangling, even if his banner appears near Jiangling, it can attract Lu Meng's attention and make him dare not attack Jiangling with all his strength.

As for the passage into Sichuan or something, I need you Meng Da to protect a fart, although Chen Zhi took Bai Yu soldiers to Hanzhong to help in the battle, but Badong County Taishou Fu Kuang is still there, and the county soldiers are not transferred at all, so I need you to guard a yarn?!

As for the instability of the place, it is even more of an excuse in the excuse, if the three eastern counties want to make a move, they should attack Linfu as early as when Guan Yu attacked Xiangfan, threatening the back of Guan Yu's army, and now they have not made a move, which can only show that the Shen brothers in the three eastern counties are also waiting to see the success or failure, waiting for the price to sell.

In fact, he Meng Da just felt that his troops were insufficient, and he couldn't win to rescue Nanjun, and if he was broken by the Jiangdong Army, he might have to bear the responsibility.

On the contrary, as long as the reason is suitable, he will not move, whether Nanjun loses it or not, it has nothing to do with him, and with his exploits when he entered Sichuan, Liu Bei can't do anything with him.

Taking a step back, even if Nanjun was really occupied by Lü Meng, the possibility of Lü Meng going north was far greater than the possibility of going west.

As long as Lü Meng did not lead the main force of the army, then Meng Da was also confident that he could hold Yidu County.

Meng Da just felt that this matter was too risky, and even if he held Nanjun, the biggest credit was not his, so he didn't want to take this risk.

This is a timid speculator, who still looks ahead and backwards in doing things, and he doesn't know why the lord handed over Yidu to this kind of person to guard it.

Xu Shu didn't understand, but the problem now was that even if Meng Da refused to send troops to rescue Nanjun, he Xu Shu couldn't help but find a way to send troops to rescue.

Especially until now, the Wenpin in the public security city is still holding on, if he can't quickly rescue the Wenpin, then with the strength of the Wenpin, he won't be able to hold it for long.

To this end, Xu Shu launched a general mobilization order in Wuling, ordering all school-age men in Wuling County to be conscripted into the army, conduct drills, and be ready to fight at any time.

But this is only far water, and it can't solve the problem of how long Wenpin and Wang Ji can hold on Xu Shu doesn't know, but these newly recruited men can't be sent to the battlefield to fight without a month or two of training.

Fortunately, at this time, Xi Hong and Li Qiu both came with good news.

Li Qiu led 2,000 troops and won three consecutive battles and three victories in the south of Wuling, repelling the attacks of the barbarians on both sides.

Although Li Qiu has also suffered a slight loss now, he has finally held the county seat, and is now resting in the southern county town to prevent the barbarians from invading again.

And Xi Hong's record is even better.

Xi Hong also led 2,000 troops to the west of Wuling, but Xi Hong did not launch an attack on the barbarians in the west at the first time.

Xi Hong first single-handedly broke into the camp of the barbarian king Shamoke, persuaded Shamoke to defect in the way of his old friendship and promises of heavy profits, and then joined forces with Shamoke, and attacked the camp of the other two barbarians, beheading more than 100 levels, and won a complete victory.

Now, among the six rebellious barbarians around Wuling, only the barbarians who invaded Lingling were left unpacified.

But the barbarian soldiers along the way, also because Pan Jun deliberately gave up the defense in the north of Lingling, plundered in the north of Lingling, and after being satisfied, they also began to retreat into the mountains.

It was about more than 20 days, and the rebellion of the six barbarians around Wuling was all quelled, and Xu Shu could finally free his hands.

After Xu Shu got the report, he immediately ordered Xi Hong to return to the division, and at the same time promised money and land to Shamoke's department, and ordered Shamoke to send 1,000 troops to help, plus the 2,000 men and horses in Xi Hong's hands, with the 1,000 reserves left by himself, a total of 4,000 people, set off first to rescue the public security Wenpin.

At the same time, Xu Shu also ordered Li Qiu to return to the army to sit in the county, preside over the training of recruits, and after the initial completion of the training of recruits, lead the recruits as a rear army to support Xu Shu.

Further south, in Lingling County, Pan Jun led his troops to occupy dangerous places in the mountains in advance and blocked Lu Dai's attack.

Although Pan Jun is also a literati, his ability to lead troops in battle is not bad.

Historically, Liu Bei launched the Battle of Yiling, with Ma Liang as his envoy, and contacted the barbarians of Wuling and Lingling, as well as Lingling's Fan Ling to rebel against Eastern Wu and respond to Liu Bei.

At that time, Pan Jun, who had already surrendered to Eastern Wu, led 5,000 soldiers, defeated Fan Ling very quickly, quelled the barbarian turmoil in the two counties, and cut off Liu Bei's wings.

Now, Pan Jun has no reason to surrender to Jiangdong, on the contrary, he still has enough reason to fight with Jiangdong, so although Lu Dai is also a famous general, he really can't take Pan Jun for a while.

As for Lü Meng's two-way attack on Lingling. Shixie is not a fool, he was beaten by Sun Quan and had no choice, so he had to obey orders, but in essence, he was still a prince, although he sent troops, but only stationed troops at the junction of Lingling and Jiaozhi, and said that the food and grass were insufficient, but in fact, he did not move and sat and watched the victory or defeat.

If Lu Dai wins, Na Shixie will definitely march into the army and carve up Lingling County.

Now that Lu Dai hasn't won yet, Shixie won't use his own soldiers to work for Jiangdong.

Therefore, the so-called two-way attack did not exist at all, and Pan Jun had long been aware of Shi Xie's careful thinking, so he wrote a letter to appease Shi Xie while defending Lu Dai's attack with all his might.

The battle in Lingling also fell into a stalemate for a while.

And under such circumstances, Lü Meng failed to attack under Jiangling City, and the grain and grass were burned, so he had to order Xu Sheng to divide his troops, leaving 5,000 people to watch the public security, and 3,000 people to escort the grain and grass to the north.

And Xu Shu, it was at this time that he led the army north and came to the periphery of the public security city.

In fact, at this time, whether it is Xu Shu, Lu Meng, or Xu Sheng, they still don't know what the situation of their respective opponents is, the information transmission efficiency in these years is too slow, and it takes time to update the battle situation.

Therefore, Xu Shu now didn't know that Lu Meng had failed in the attack on Jiangling City and was burned with grain and grass, and he still thought that Lu Meng was leading the army to attack Gong'an City, so he marched cautiously all the way, trying not to let the Jiangdong army find out his traces, and at the same time, he had to find a way to get in touch with Wen Ping as soon as possible.

Xu Shu felt that he had few soldiers, so he didn't think about fighting with Lu Meng, but thought about how to let Wen Ping go out of the city to pick him up, and then 4,000 people supported the public security and entered the city to defend it.

Therefore, when the scout horse sent by Xu Shu said that Liu Beijun's banner was still on the public security city, but there were only about 5,000 people under the public security city besieging the city, Xu Shu immediately ordered the army to suspend its advance.

This sudden change made Xu Shu a little suspicious, so he suspended the march first, and at the same time sent Xizuo and Tanma to reconnoiter the enemy's situation.

Xu Shu was worried that this was a trap that Lu Meng had set for himself when he had discovered his arrival.

At the same time, the clerk in the city was also discussing with Zhang Ren whether to divide some soldiers and go out of the city to test the enemy army. After all, there are suddenly less than 3,000 people besieging the city, don't be what the Jiangdong Army is engaged in.

When 8,000 people besieged the city, Wen Ping still held on to the city out of caution and did not dare to act casually, but now there are only 5,000 people left.

Although the army is still weak, it is not impossible to fight it.

Wen Ping was more worried about whether Xu Sheng's sudden loss of 3,000 people would be some kind of plan, or some trap, the purpose of which was to lure him out of the city to fight.

Wen Ping has always been very careful, so he also discussed it with Zhang Ren. Otherwise, he led a thousand people out of the city to test, and Zhang Ren continued to defend the city.

In this way, even if there is a trap, Zhang Ren can answer him in time, and he doesn't have to worry about the enemy army taking the opportunity to attack the city.

But Zhang Ren objected.

How can there be a truth that the lord of the city will personally take risks.

Even if you want to test the reaction of the enemy army, this kind of thing should be done by yourself as a vice president, Wen Ping is in danger of the safety of a city, how can he go out of the city to test it in person.

Therefore, at Zhang Ren's strong request, Wen Ping also knew that he was not suitable for danger as the main general, so he decided that Zhang Ren would lead his troops out of the city to tentatively attack Xu Sheng's camp.

The next morning, Zhang Ren was ready and led a thousand soldiers out of the east gate to tentatively attack Xu Sheng's camp.

And in Xu Sheng's camp, the defense was indeed quite lax, although there was some resistance, but Zhang Ren only spent a small price, and easily broke through the camp of Xu Sheng's army, and the remaining soldiers in the camp immediately dispersed.

Then Zhang Ren sensed that something was wrong, these garrisons, plus the soldiers who fled, would not add up to more than a thousand.

Where did the rest of the Koto Army go?!
