Pan Zhang's move undoubtedly offended his rebellion.

Why did Lü Meng have to give repeated orders before sending troops, and strictly restrain all the troops under his command to not have any looting?

Because his strategy for determining Jingzhou is to treat the people in the state and county well, collect people's hearts, and then take the land of Jingzhou without blood.

Jingzhou is to be operated as its own foundation, and once it loses people's hearts, it will be a devastating blow.

Not to mention, now we have not yet broken through the state capital and controlled the overall situation.

Even if Jiangling is broken, once the looting happens, it will completely lead to the instability of Jingzhou.

Therefore, he was quite disgusted by the looting mentioned by Pan Zhang.

"The general is now issuing a military order, you must restrain your subordinates, but if you act without authorization, and rob the people of various places, you will be killed!"

Suddenly, a solemn look appeared on Lu Meng's face, and he ordered sharply.

The words fell to the ground, and although Pan Zhang was unhappy in his heart, he did not dare to continue to mention it.

Although he has always been favored and trusted by Wu Hou, even if he has made many mistakes, he is also aware that his weight in Sun Quan's heart is still not comparable to Lu Meng.

"According to the news from the spies in the city, the current guard of the old city is Huo Yi of the Huo clan in Zhijiang, and his father is Huo Jun, who categorically refused to be recruited by Wu Hou in the early years."

"This father and son are so hostile to my Jiangdong, Huo Yi has become an obstacle for our attack on Jiangling, since General Lu is unwilling to plunder the people of Jingzhou, then he ordered Zhang to lead the troops west to arrest the Huo clan and coerce the other party to open the city, okay?"

When these words fell, the anger on Pan Zhang's face seemed to be gradually rising.

In the previous plan, the subordinates suffered a lot of twists and turns, and if it wasn't for the exchange of prisoners, the whole army would have been wiped out.

After several days of strong attack, almost half of it was lost.

And the culprit of all this is Huo Yi, the general who defended the old city.

Lu Meng did not allow his troops to loot everywhere, which made him accumulate a stomach full of anger and have no way to vent, and now he naturally transferred all his resentment to Huo Yi.

Hearing this, Lu Meng looked at his face full of anger, and knew that he couldn't suppress it too much, so after a little silence, he said:

"Okay~ The matter of capturing the Huo clan to the big camp will be handed over to you with your troops."

"Thank you, General~"

Seeing that he had approved his strategy, Pan Zhang's face suddenly appeared happy, and he gave the order.

"Wait~" Who expected Lu Meng to suddenly wave his hand again to stop, which couldn't help but make his heart hang again, shouldn't he regret it again?

"You can only attack the Zhijiang Huo clan, and you must not kill innocents indiscriminately, do you hear clearly?"

Lu Meng's tone was solemn and solemn.

"Yes~"

Although Pan Zhang was reluctant, the military order had to respond helplessly.

Waiting for him to take the order and leave quickly, Lu Meng, who was half-silent, suddenly looked down again, and said in a loud voice: "Sun Huan listens to the order,"

"The end will be ~"

"This general ordered you to march with the people of your headquarters behind Pan Zhang, and after he controls the Huo clan, he will join forces with him to continue to attack the west and take the important town of Yiling."

An order was handed down, and Zhu Huan did not hesitate to act quickly.

……

As the Wu army outside the old city retreated more than ten miles back to camp and confronted each other, the defenders of the city who had been fighting for a long time breathed a sigh of relief, and each of them showed the joy of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe.

Huo Yi's face also returned to its former calm at this time, and after a half-mutter, he waved his hand and ordered someone to go to inquire about the defense of the new city in the south of the city.

After half a sound, the attendant returned, "General Qiyu Huo, there is Liao Zhubo personally guarding the front line, and although the Jiangdong Naval Division is struggling to attack, there is no danger." ”

"Okay, that's good~"

After hearing this, Huo Yi wiped the long sword with blood stains on the blade and put it into the scabbard, and the pressure suddenly decreased a lot.

Immediately, he looked quietly into the distance, and his mind thought again, and secretly thought to himself:

"Now that the Wu army can't attack for a long time, there is no crisis in Jiangling for the time being."

"Lü Meng is now besieging the city to cut off the connection between the inside and outside of the city, and his next step will inevitably be to divide his troops to capture Yiling, an important town in the west, with the intention of severing the connection between Jing and Yierzhou."

"If you want to come, it won't be a problem to defend Yiling with the ability of a clan brother."

Secretly groaning, he began to think about countermeasures in his mind, "Now that the battle situation is deadlocked, Lu Meng will probably still follow the strategy of Zhou Yu to attack Cao Ren in the past and besiege the city to consume the grain and grass in the city. ”

"However, at present, the government treasury is rich in money and grain, and there is no risk of food shortage in the short term, although I have a good strategy to break the enemy, but now I can't easily leave Jiangling City~"

He knew very well that there was an undercurrent surging in Jiangling City now, and Lu Meng didn't know how many secret agents had been planted in the past, and how many officials had infiltrated the city.

Even if there is Mizhu to guard the state capital and stabilize the hearts of the people.

But there is also a lack of generals at present, and if he leaves, there will be no one to take over the garrison.

"It seems that the strategy of breaking the enemy still has to wait for General Guan's main force to return to help before it can be put on the agenda."

Huo Yi pondered the current situation and quickly formulated a follow-up action plan.

And when he judged that the Wu army would divide his troops to the west and enter Yiling, Pan Zhang and Zhu Huan had already been ordered to lead their troops and horses along the west avenue.

Soon crossed the Nanzhang River and arrived at the west bank, and the Zhijiang River was already close at hand!

Seeing this, Pan Zhang waved his hand with a serious expression and ordered: "Ma Zhong, I will order you to take a hundred people to the west side of Zhijiang City to ambush first, if there is a fish from the Huo clan that slips through the net, you must not let one go." ”

"喏~"

The military order was passed down, and the young general, dressed in a battle robe, quickly surrendered his promise and immediately led more than 100 elites to leave.

"Brothers, you have been fighting bloodily for several days without any gain, General Lu strictly ordered not to plunder the people of Jingzhou, but Huo Yi is the culprit who prevented us from attacking Jiangling."

"Ben will order you to enter the Huo manor to plunder the wealth and capture the clansmen."

"The general is mighty, mighty~"

As soon as this order was handed down, all the soldiers under his command shouted in unison, and the momentum was like a rainbow.

They had long been holding back their fire, and now they were allowed to vent, and they were overjoyed.

Because on the way here, Pan Zhang had already made people find out where the Huo clan lived in advance.

As soon as he gave the order, his subordinates rushed in.

But when the Wu people arrived at the Huo Manor, they all looked sluggish and puzzled.

"What about people? Where have all the Huo family gone? ”

"How is it empty?"

After some investigation, Wu Bing not only found that there was no one, but even the valuable things seemed to have been moved.

The news was also quickly delivered to Pan Zhang.

"What? The Huo clan has already migrated ahead of schedule? ”

Hearing this, Pan Zhang was stunned at first, and then the anger in his body instantly exploded, "All the departments listen to the order, and they will slaughter the people around Zhijiang with this general. ”

At this order, Zhu Huan, who came after him, was shocked when he heard this, "Pan Wenti, this guy didn't capture the Huo clan, is this going to vent his anger on the surrounding people?" ”

He hurriedly rushed to stop it, but it was a step too late, Pan Zhang's department was already red-eyed by now, and even Pan Zhang himself was furious, and he had already forgotten Lu Meng's military order and did not listen to Zhu Huan's advice.
