Chapter 31 Clean up the mess

"What?" Before Zhou Yu could answer, Cheng Pu was so angry that he grabbed the little pawn who reported the news and said angrily, "How can Wu County be lost? There are 30,000 elite soldiers in Wu County, 30,000! You are 30,000 steamed buns, and Liu Bei can't eat them all night! What is the crime of disturbing the military's heart?

"General, Liu Bei's flag has been hung on the head of Wu County!" The pawn was twisted up by Cheng Pu, but he still said weakly. Cheng Pu seemed to lose all his strength in an instant when he heard the words and let go of his hand and put him down. At this moment, another small school ran over and said breathlessly, "Governor, it's not a big deal. About 30,000 people in Wujun City are coming to Shentingling, and there are less than ten miles away from us!"

"That's Liu Bei who stabilized the situation and sent someone to respond to Zhao Feng." Zhou Yu said slowly. The voice is still very calm, but there is a trace of indescribable fatigue. The rear army becomes the front army, withdraw!" Zhou Yu waved his hand and gave the order.

"Governor, where are you going?" Tai Shici calmed down and asked.

"Withdraw the Yuzhang and send someone to find out the whereabouts of the lord. If the lord can escape, he must go to Huiji or Luling and send more people to inquire. After Zhou Yu finished this last sentence, he first turned his head and left, and the rest of the generals followed. Only Cheng Pu had been looking at Wu Jun from afar, but his tears remained silently.

Jiangdong, it's over!

"General, the fake man has been withdrawn!" Chen said breathlessly, and then sat on the ground. At the same time, Hao Zhao from Houshan also sent someone to report that the reinforcements came, and the banner should be Li Tong.

"Wow!" Zhao Feng took a breath and sat on the ground tiredly. Although the injury on his shoulder was simply bandaged, it was still faintly painful. At this time, when he was commanding the battle, he was shot an arrow by a Sima of the Jiangdong army. Of course, the man was immediately killed by Huang Zhong.

Thinking of this, Zhao Feng also turned his head to look at Huang Zhong, who was even more unbearable and lay there out of breath. Not long after, Li Tong's reinforcements had also arrived, "Is General Zhao all right?" Li Tong's voice was heard from the bottom of the mountain from afar.

"Wanda, I'm here!" Zhao Feng replied breathlessly, but he didn't have the strength to get up to meet him for a while. Li Tong ran up the mountain and saw that Zhao Feng's shoulder injury was not serious, so he was relieved. Wen Da, how's it going in Wu County? Zhao Feng took a few breaths and quickly asked the most urgent question.

"Everything is going well. Our army has occupied Wu County. The situation has settled down, so I will lead these two or five thousand people to support the general first." Li Tong briefly explained the situation.

"How's Sun Quan?" Zhao Feng asked again that as long as he caught Sun Quan, he would get twice the result with half the effort.

"Let him run away!" Li Tong said with some regret. It turned out that Sun Quan saw that the city was about to be broken, so he ran straight from the east gate. After the Xuzhou army was blocked by the division of troops, after all, there were not too many people. In addition, Sun Quan's personal guards were indeed more brave and good at fighting, which actually made him stand out of the siege. More than that, even Zhang Zhao and other important ministers ran a lot, and Sun Quan's family also ran away with him. Although Liu Bei sent someone to chase him, Sun Quan had already prepared a boat. He only ran a few miles and got on a boat and went south. It seemed that he was going to Huiji.

"So it is!" Zhao Feng was also a little sorry after learning that the matter had passed, but at present, Wu County, the richest county in Jiangdong six counties, and Danyang, which produced soldiers, had taken it. Even if Sun Quan went to Huiji, he would do nothing. Thinking clearly about this, Zhao Feng was also in a much better mood. After a break, he and Li Tong went to Wu County to join Liu Bei's army.

"Isn't it okay for Bo Tao's injury?" Seeing Ai hanging his arm back, Liu Bei was also a little nervous. After learning that the latter was safe and sound, Liu Bei was also relieved. At this time, Lu Su began to report the overall situation of the battle to Liu Bei.

70,000 Xuzhou troops, of which about 7,000 were killed in the battle to capture Wu County, and more than 1,000 were seriously injured and 2,000 were slightly injured. Zhao Feng's blocking road was even more tragic. 15,000 people died in the battle alone, and only 6,000 people, excluding minor and serious injuries, could continue to fight, and the whole Xuzhou army suffered nearly 20,000 casualties.

Of course, the Jiangdong Army didn't get any discount. The 30,000 defenders of Wu County, except for about five or six thousand people, fled south with Sun Quan, and the rest died nearly 15,000, and the rest were captured. As for Zhou Yu, he also threw more than 10,000 corpses in Shentingling. Of course, there were no prisoners. Nearly 20,000 people died in a fierce battle in just one night, which was enough to see the fierceness of the war.

"In this battle, only Huiji, Luling, Yuzhang and Poyang are left under Sun Quan's rule, and his soldiers and horses are only 60,000 to 70,000, and their vitality is greatly damaged!" Lu Su concluded in the end. I can see that he is also a little excited, and the last sentence is impassioned.

"It's so good!" Liu Bei was also very satisfied when he heard the words. Next is the next stage of task planning. After this war, the Xuzhou army needs to take a good rest anyway. First of all, the county soldiers were transferred from Xuzhou to guard the Acropolis, and the prisoners were selected for training to supplement the combat losses. These tasks are about to be carried out in an orderly manner. There is also to appease people's hearts. Wu Jun is the foundation of the Sun family. Once it is not well managed, it is inevitable that there will be hidden dangers. This requires Lu Su and others to pay more attention. Liu Bei even ordered Jiang Wan, who is good at internal affairs from Xuzhou, to come here. Of course, the rest of the counties should also be pacification as soon as possible. At present, Gaolan and Wenpin are sent to pacification of the rest of the counties in Wu County.

As for the direction of the next march, Pang Tong, Lu Su and Zhao Feng all think that since the Jingzhou army can no longer count on it, we can do our own. Just take Huiji and Poyang with enough energy. Yuzhang and Luling depend on whether the Jingzhou army has the ability to take it by themselves. Liu Bei did not object. He was not too willing to dress as a wedding dress, but out of politeness, on the day of defeating Wu County, he immediately sent an envoy to contact the Jingzhou Army to see how the situation was.

However, the next development is almost beyond everyone's expectation.

"Gong Yuan, Cheng Yuan, why are you here?" After withdrawing from Shentingling, the Jiangdong army marched west for only dozens of miles. He didn't want to meet the messy Jiangdong army. The two leading two were Ding Feng and Ling Tong, who were left behind Yuzhang. Zhou Yu suddenly had an ominous foreboding when he saw them.

"Governor, as soon as your army left, the Jingzhou army suddenly joined forces with the Xuzhou army to cross the river to attack. We were not ready to be defeated by them. My father was already dead! With ten thousand defenders, there are only more than 3,000 of us left!" After Ling Tong saw Zhou Yu, his tense nerves were also loosened. After briefly talking about the situation, I couldn't help crying on the spot.

It turned out that on the day after Zhou Yu burned Liu Pan to break through the Jingzhou army, Kuai Liang, who had been sent by Liu Biao to support Liu Pan, led 10,000 new troops to Ganjiang. Only when he arrived, did he know that Liu Pan had just lost another game. However, Kuai Liang's wisdom was terrible. He was keenly aware that once Zhou Yu won, he would return to Wu County. Yuzhang's guard was inevitably empty, and immediately persuaded Liu Pan to fight again. At the same time, he also sent people to unite Gan Ning and Guan Ping in Lujiang to send troops. Under the attack of the two groups of people, Ling Yan and his son and Ding Feng, who stayed in Yuzhang, could not withstand it after all. In the melee, Ling Yan was shot to death by Gan Ning with an arrow. Ling Tong and Ding Feng led the army to fight to the heavy siege.

"What?" Zhou Yu was also shocked when he heard the words, and then asked worriedly, "Then why don't you go to Poyang?" As soon as I said it, I knew that Poyang's situation might not be good, and this time I felt even more cold.

Sure enough, Ding Feng said, "We waited for us to come out of the siege to join the army. We wanted to enter Poyang to wait for help, but we didn't expect that Poyang was besieged by tens of thousands of Shanyue troops at this moment. We waited for fewer soldiers and couldn't kill them thoroughly, so we had to come to find the governor first!"

"What? Tens of thousands of mountains?" Zhou Yu's mind was already blank when he heard the words. Cheng Zi, the son of Cheng Pu, was stationed with 5,000 people in Poyang. Now he is besieged by tens of thousands of mountains. Even if nothing happens for a while, there will be more bad luck and less good luck for a long time. Although there are still nearly 40,000 people under his command, once he goes to rescue Poyang, if he is entangled with the Jingzhou Army or the Xuzhou Army again and again, I'm afraid he will get involved. What's more, Sun Quan's whereabouts are unknown now, and he can't consume this last capital casually.

"Go south and go to Luling!" Zhou Yu figured this out and gritted his teeth and ordered. The Grand Governor? Huang Gai and Tai Shi Ci were both anxious when they heard the words, but Cheng Pu said weakly, "Let's go south and listen to the governor."

"Demou!" Huang Gai was also stunned when he heard the words. Looking back, he saw that his old friend looked at his son's Poyang from afar and cried silently. He opened his mouth but couldn't say anything more.

"Go!" Looking back and looking deeply at Poyang, Zhou Yu gritted his teeth and turned the horse's head to be the first to rush to the south. Xiao Qiao is in Poyang. Zhou Yu knows very well that once those savage mountains break through the city, what will happen if his delicate wife falls into their hands.

"Ah!" Zhou Yu ran wildly while venting his anger like an injured beast.

"Master, the leader of Yan Peng is here!" The next day, an uninvited guest was welcomed in Wujun City. I've seen Uncle Liu!" Yan Peng saluted Liu Bei meticulously. Why should the strict leader be more polite? I don't know why the leader came to prepare at this time? Liu Bei asked in surprise.

After Yan Peng sat down, he showed his intention. This Yan Peng is the nephew of Yan Baihu, the leader of Shanyue, and the son of his brother Yan Yu. At the beginning of Sun Ce's expedition against Jiangdong, Yan Baihu once sent Yan Yu to negotiate with Sun Ce. Sun Ce hosted a banquet for Yan Yu, but he suddenly hacked the other party to death during the banquet, and then started a war with Yan Baihu.

When watching Romance of the Three Kingdoms in his previous life, Zhao Feng felt that Sun Ce's behavior was a little disapproving. There are also Hongmen banquets, and there are also those who kill messengers, but if you chop up the messengers in the middle of the meal, this matter is a little unnatural. After Yan Baihu was defeated, there were few survivors of the whole family. Only Yan Peng was recruited as his son-in-law by Pan Lin, the leader of Yuzhang Mountain. At that time, he was not in Wu County, so he survived.

This time, Liu Bei nominally united Shanyue, but in fact, he did not let them fight a big battle. The main reason was to disturb the counties in Danyang to lure snakes out of the hole. After the incident, the Shanyue people also began to migrate to Yuzhou as agreed. However, Yan Peng's kindness and resentment were clear. He felt that he would inevitably feel uneasy by Liu Bei's great kindness. It happened that the Jingzhou army attacked Yuzhang. At present, he persuaded his father-in-law to send troops to besiege Poyang. Before leaving, he also fought for Liu Bei. After besieging the city, Yan Peng personally came to explain the situation to Liu Bei.

"So that's it!" Liu Bei and others suddenly realized when they heard the words. Poyang has been besieged by the warriors in our clan, but we can't attack the city without the equipment to attack the city. Please send troops to help with equipment!" Yan Peng finally said that he told Liu Bei that even the Jingzhou army attacked Yuzhang, which was half earlier than the messenger sent by Liu Bei.

Things are changing! Zhao Feng sighed. Who would have thought that the Jingzhou army, which had been despised, would also have a time to turn over, but Yan Peng had a good intention, and Liu Bei couldn't bear to reverse it. What's more, when will this ready-made advantage not be taken? Because Gao Lan and Wen Ping were still fighting for counties, and Zhao Feng and others had met with them several times when they contacted Shanyue before, and there were still some friendships. At present, Liu Bei asked Zhao Feng to lead 10,000 horses with Thunderbolts and crossbow cannons to unite the Shanyue army to attack Poyang.

"What's the matter!" After less than a day's rest, Zhao Feng was a little dizzy and led the army west again. When passing by Shentingling, the battlefield there has not been cleaned up. Looking at the dirt slope where he was beaten badly before this day, Zhao Feng also sighed. Just one day, I, Hu Hansan, have changed my face and attacked again. Jiangdong, are you trembling?
