Chapter 247 Shocking News

It took two hours for the chaos in Chaisang City to gradually subside, but from many places in the city, there is still chaos, and you can see a disturbance here at a glance. At this time, the barracks that hoarded military food had become scorched and black, and the high grain and fodder had been burned.

"General Ling, how about the loss?" Huang Gai looked at Ling Tong with a tired face.

"General Huang, the grain and fodder in the camp were burned down, but the rear was splashed with water in time and was not affected." Ling Tong also looked tired. By that time, he had burned most of the whole barracks, and the grain and grass were very easy to burn. It was impossible to put out the fire. He could only command the soldiers to keep pouring water between the food and grass and the laver, so that it did not affect the heavy.

"That's good!" Huang Gai was relieved. He didn't expect Ling Tong to save the food and fodder. Ling Tong's best ending was to keep the weight.

"General Huang, now the army's grain and fodder have been burned down. What should we do with the grain and fodder to be escorted to the army tomorrow?" Ling Tong frowned and asked that the grain and fodder consumption of the 100,000 army was extremely fast. They had to deliver grain and fodder to the army every three days, and tomorrow was exactly the three-day deadline.

"Wow! It was completely my fault that the food and fodder were burned this time. I will plead guilty to the lord. As for the army's grain and fodder, I can only take one step. At this time, I need to report to the lord overnight. Now only General Ling in Chaisang City can be competent for this matter. I will write down the cause and effect of this matter, and General Ling will hand it over to the lord on my behalf. Huang Gai sighed.

"General Huang don't have to worry. Although the last general doesn't understand this matter, General Huang will not make such a mistake for no reason. As long as the general is clear about the cause and consequences of this matter, I think the lord will definitely understand the general." Ling Tong patrolled for a day and went to bed very early at night. Up to now, he still doesn't know what happened. However, he knew that Huang Gai was cautious and would never make such a mistake for no reason.

Hearing Ling Tong's words, Huang Gai shook his head and did not say anything. Instead, he took Ling Tong back to the barracks. He hurriedly wrote down the cause and effect of the matter and handed it to Ling Tong, "This matter is troublesome to General Ling. This matter is of great importance. General Ling must report this matter to the lord as soon as possible, the better."

Ling Tong took over the bamboo slip and said solemnly, "General Huang, don't worry, I will dare to report this matter to the master before Feilongwei."

"And this bamboo slip, General Ling should also hand it over to the lord." Speaking of Huang Gai and taking it out of his arms, Zhao Yundi shook his head and sighed and gave it to Ling Tong. Zhu Jianzhi's notes would never be wrong, but it was possible for Zhou Yu to betray Jiang Dong, and he couldn't figure it out.

Ling Tong took the bamboo slip and put it in his arms with some doubt. He saluted Huang Gai and turned around and left. At this time, he needed to report to Sun Ce as soon as possible. Ling Tong did not dare to delay too much.

Seeing Ling Tong leave, Huang Gai sat in the big tent for a long time and was speechless. Today, he was defeated and fell into the enemy's trap from beginning to end. Not only were the grain and fodder of the 100,000 troops in Jiangdong been burned, but also the most important secret of Jiangdong was revealed.

He has never been as powerless as he is today. He has been cautious and cautious. He didn't expect to be tricked by the other party. This made Huang Gai a little ashamed. He actually lost to a young man in his twenties.

........................................................................

Outside Jiangxia City, in the Jiangdong camp, Taishici and Ling Cao, who went to attack Xiling and Xiakou, have led the soldiers and horses to rush over, which is similar to the situation of Jiangxia. The Jiangdong soldiers and horses attacking the two cities also have not made any progress. Although there are no generals in the two cities, the soldiers in the city are under the command of the Flying Dragon Army. Still repelled Jiangdong's soldiers and horses.

When receiving Sun Ce's order, both of them felt a little sudden. They had agreed to attack the city for three days. On the first day, they were recalled by Sun Ce. Both of them secretly guessed Sun Ce's intention.

When they returned to the camp and knew the beginning and end of the matter, the two were even more surprised. The two of them thought that Sun Ce was dissatisfied with them and wanted to change generals, but they didn't expect to withdraw their troops. Hearing that the two men who withdrew were unconsciously relieved, they were not sure to capture the city within three days. Instead of leaving a pile of corpses under the city and withdrawing troops, it was better to withdraw early.

Unlike others, Taishi Ci and Ling Cao are not very eager to compete for merit. They have made a lot of contributions under Sun Ce's command, and they don't care about the merits of this city. Moreover, although they don't understand politics, they also know Jiangdong's current situation. If Jiangdong has been entangled in Jiangxia for too much time, I'm afraid it's difficult to pull out again.

Now the withdrawal seems that Jiangdong has lost, but Jiangdong's army has captured large and small cities across Jiangxia, and there are many captured soldiers and captured, which can be regarded as a harvest for Jiangdong.

"Lord, the soldiers and horses scattered all over the country have gathered, and the troops can be withdrawn early tomorrow morning." In the big account, Zhou Yu said to Sun Ce, in addition to Zhou Yu, there were also Lu Su and Zhang Yu.

"Well, let's leave this matter to Gong Jin. The troops will be withdrawn tomorrow morning, and the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou may still pursue. At that time, they still need Gong Jin and Ziyi to lead the troops." Sun Ce thought for a moment.

"Lord, don't worry, he will definitely not give Jingzhou soldiers and horses an opportunity to take advantage of it." Zhou Yu arched his hand.

Drip-on...

The sound of rapid footsteps made the three people in the big account frown. At this time, something must have happened in the account. Seeing that the troops would be withdrawn soon, something happened again.

Several people looked up at the door and saw Tai Shici coming in eagerly.

"Lord, see you at Chai Sang Lingtong." Taishi Ci bowed and said that he had seen something big had happened to Chai Sang from Ling Tong's expression.

"Chai Sang?" Several people in the big account were shocked. Ling Tong came to the Chai Sang that night, which must have been a big deal.

"Let him in quickly." Sun Ce said in a hurry.

Not long after, Tai Shici came in with Ling Tong with a tired face. On the way, Ling Tong was exhausted three horses. He came with more than a dozen guards, but on the way, he drove all the guards back and changed horses one after another before he arrived here.

"Lord, the army's food and fodder were burned!" Ling Tong walked into the big tent and saw Sun Ce, so he hurried forward to bow down.

"What?" Several people in the tent exclaimed. The food and fodder of the 100,000 army were stored in Chai Sang. Now what did the 100,000 army eat? And how could Huang Gai, the general of Jiangdong, guard Chai Sang, make such a big mistake? Hearing Ling Tong's words, several people in the account looked unbelievable.

"Lord, this is General Huang's handwriting!" Ling Tong took out two bamboo slips from his arms and handed them to Sun Ce.

Although Sun Ce did not believe in this matter, he had to suppress the shock when he saw Ling Tong like this. After taking the bamboo slips, Sun Ce couldn't wait to open it. He read the content on the bamboo slips with three or two glances, but Sun Ce's face became more and more gloomy.

"Master?" Zhou Yu reminded Sun Ce when he saw that he didn't say anything.

"You can have a look." Sun Ce took a deep breath.

The three people took Zhu Jian and looked at it carefully before they understood the beginning and end of the matter. Zhou Yu said doubtfully, "I have never ordered anyone to throw a stone cart. It seems that General Huang has been cheated."

"This matter is not simple. It is impossible that General Huang doesn't know Gong Jin's character. There is still something strange about it." Zhang Wei shook his head.

"And this." At this moment, Sun Ce handed over another bamboo slip.

"Hmm?" Zhou Yu and the three of them were surprised when they took the bamboo slips. Even Zhou Yu himself was full of surprise. The self on the bamboo slips was clearly his own.

He can't make a mistake about his words. The words on the bamboo slip are indeed written by himself. Zhou Yu is very sure of this, but what surprised him is that he doesn't remember that he has approved such an order at all.

"There is something wrong." Lu Su looked at Zhu Jian and suddenly said.

"Oh?" Zhou Yu and others looked at Lu Su.

Lu Su pointed to the bamboo slip and said, "This bamboo slip is not a complete bamboo slip. It is put together."

When Lu Su said, the three of them looked at the bamboo slips carefully. Sure enough, the whole bamboo slips had more than ten bamboo sticks. The bamboo slips with his name written on the back were obviously old, and the new bamboo slips in front.

Sun Ce, who was beside him, suddenly realized that if he hadn't known that Zhou Yu would not betray Jiang Dong just now, he would have thought that this Zhu Jian was really Zhou Yu's approval.

"Gong Jin, when did you write the word on this bamboo slip?" Lu Su pointed to the words on the bamboo slips.

"I remember." Zhou Yu suddenly exclaimed.

Seeing that everyone looked at him, Zhou Yu said with regret, "This is the agreement I signed with Xu Shu a few months ago."

When he was in Yuzhang County, Xu Shu sent someone to sign an agreement with him, but he didn't expect to be misappropriated here.

"So that's it. I think Zhao Yun must have removed Gong Jin's words and reassembled them, and the general didn't see the strangeness of bamboo slips at that time." Lu Su sighed.

"Who is it? Unexpectedly, I can think of burning the grain and fodder of our 100,000 army in Jiangdong with Gong Jin's words. Sun Ce's face was a little ugly. If he did not plan to retreat at this time, the news spread to the army, and the army must be disheartless and have no intention to fight again. At that time, Jiangdong's soldiers and horses will also have to retreat. At that time, Jingzhou's flying dragon army will be killed later, and Jiangdong's soldiers and horses will definitely suffer heavy losses.

"I think Zhuge Liang is the only one who can have this means in Jiangxia." Lu Su thought for a moment.

"Is it him?" Zhou Yu and others all looked surprised.

Zhuge Liang's talent Lu Su said that although Lu Su's evaluation of him is very high, several people have never experienced it. Now that Zhuge Liang burned the food and fodder of 100,000 troops in Jiangdong as soon as he took action, several people knew that Lu Su did not exaggerate, and Zhuge Liang's talent was indeed extraordinary.

Grain and fodder have always been the weakness of Jiangdong. Nowadays, the expedition of 100,000 troops for grain and fodder is still the main problem. Zhuge Liang seized this weakness and burned the grain and fodder of 100,000 troops in Jiangdong in one fell swoop. It can be said that Jiangdong's soldiers and horses can not retreat.
