- The Wu people retreated, and the flagship led by Xu Sheng retreated first.
How could Gan Ning allow him to retreat so easily? He killed Gan Ning, who was rising, and led Yan's soldiers to pursue and kill him for more than 20 miles. It was not until he received Yan Liang's order to withdraw his troops that he returned to the upper reaches in relief.
Xu Sheng only managed to escape back to Chaisang at the cost of more than 70 warships and almost half of his troops.
At this time, Lu Su, who had retreated to Chaisang first, was rendezvousing with Sun Yu's troops, with 15,000 soldiers and horses, trying to surround and kill Zhang Liao's 1,000 light cavalry.
It's a pity that in the last battle of Chaisang, the Wu army almost lost almost all its cavalry. The only remaining cavalry was assigned to Cheng Pu's Shouchun Corps. The only cavalry Lu Su could mobilize was only two hundred, and there were only 200 cavalry at his disposal. Not elite cavalry.
There is not a considerable number of cavalry. Although Lu Su has an absolute advantage in military strength, with more than 10,000 infantry, he can't do anything to Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao, who was very good at commanding the cavalry, gave full play to the mobility of the cavalry. In just a few days, he almost swept through the countryside near Chaisang.
Wherever he passed, whether farmland or houses, everything was burned to the ground by his fire. However, according to Yan Liang's instructions in advance, he showed mercy to the people in the countryside and let them live.
There are two reasons why Yan Liang was merciful. First, massacring the people would arouse the Wu people's revenge mentality, which would in turn make them unite against him.
Next time, tens of thousands of rural people will inevitably flee to Chaisang in panic after losing their houses and fields.
In this way, Chaisang City has more than 10,000 troops. Tens of thousands more mouths will be added, and at that time, the pressure on the Wu people for food will be doubled.
After almost burning Chaisang's farmland, Zhang Liao retreated to Lukou after learning that Lu Su had returned to his army.
When Lu Su reacted and planned to send troops to block Zhang Liao's return, Zhang Liao had already led a thousand light cavalry and left.
It was nearly dusk, and Lu Su stood on the top of the city with his sword in hand, a gloomy and solemn look on his face.
Looking around Chai Sang. With the lingering smoke, the veins on Lu Su's face were twitching slightly, and an indignation that turned from embarrassment to anger was burning in his chest.
"Regardless of the gains and losses of a city or a place, he only burned my grain fields. This Yan Liang has such a strong view of the overall situation. I was confident that I could see through this person, but I didn't expect that I still miscalculated"
Although angry and regretful. Lu Su sighed secretly in his heart. His fear of Yan Liang is getting deeper and deeper.
Just as Lu Su was sighing, he saw that the navy commanded by Xu Sheng had returned from the water camp in the north of the city.
Lu Su looked up and was surprised to find that half of Xu Sheng's battleship was missing. His already gloomy heart was immediately cast by a heavy shadow.
He had a vague premonition that Xu Sheng's attack on the enemy would probably fail again.
Not much time. A group of soldiers and horses rushed into Chaisang City. After a while, Xu Sheng, who looked ashamed, boarded the city dejectedly.
"If you finally return in defeat, please ask the governor to punish you." Xu Sheng said with regret as he cupped his hands.
Lu Su's heart skipped a beat, and as expected, the ominous premonition became clear.
He frowned secretly, but pretended to be indifferent. He waved his hand and said, "Winning or losing is a common thing for a soldier. Get up."
Xu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and straightened up.
Lu Su asked Xu Sheng how he could be defeated. As soon as he mentioned this matter. Xu Sheng gritted his teeth in hatred.
"Returning to the Governor, the general was fighting at par with Gan Ning. He originally wanted to retreat when the situation became clear, but the traitor Ling Tong suddenly led his army to kill him. The general was caught off guard, which is why he suffered this defeat."
Ling Tong!
Hearing this familiar name, everyone in the city, including Lu Su, changed their faces, and anger instantly appeared on every face.
Lu Su also gritted his teeth secretly and sighed in a deep voice: "My lord treated Ling Tong well, but I didn't expect that he would actually help the tyrants to commit evil. This man's character is really shameful to the world."
"Back then, the Ling family and his son did not hesitate to shoot the old general Yi Gong in order to gain credit. This shows his character." Xu Sheng said bitterly.
Being mentioned by Xu Sheng, Lu Su suddenly remembered what happened back then.
He recalled how he had bravely stepped out on the flagship and urged Han Dang to attack with all his strength, regardless of Han Dang's life.
At that time, Lu Su understood Sun Quan's intentions and stood up to share his worries. It was precisely because of his performance that Sun Quan trusted him more and entrusted him with the post of governor of the Western Front.
Lu Su knew in his heart that the Ling family and his son would not be affected by Han Dang¡¯s death.He was just following orders, but he didn't actually bear much responsibility.
"But he didn't excuse the Ling family and his son before. Now, he will not stand up and explain to Ling Tong who has become a traitor.
At the moment, Lu Su could only follow Xu Sheng's anger and said with a livid face: "About Ling Tong, I will definitely report it to the lord and ask the lord to make a decision."
Xu Sheng and other generals were satisfied.
At this time, Sun Yu said: "Zijing, now the farmland along the Chaisang line has been destroyed by Yan Liang. I am afraid that there will be no harvest this autumn. Our situation will be very unfavorable, but we should know how to deal with it."
Sun Yu¡¯s words made everyone fall silent.
Thinking that they had finally caught the opportunity when Yan Liang was in the Central Plains and had no time to spare, they worked hard to build Chaisang City. The purpose of building Chaisang City was to re-immigrate to Chaisang and cultivate the fields.
Who would have thought that more than half a year of hard work would be destroyed by Yan Liang in just a few days. The generals not only hated Yan Liang, but also felt worried in their hearts.
Seeing that there is not much food stored in Chaisang City, they are waiting for the grain collected from the autumn harvest. Now the food from the autumn harvest is gone, and tens of thousands of people have fled into Chaisang City. The mouths of these tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians are terrible. They are all waiting to eat.
At this point, Lu Su had no choice but to sigh: "At this point, there is no other way. I will write a letter immediately and send someone to Moling to ask for the Lord's salvation."
From Lu Su down, Sun Yu and other generals all shook their heads and sighed.
¡¡
Three days later, Moling City.
In the lobby of the military mansion, Sun Quan's face was ashen, and there was endless anger in his blue eyes.
Sun Quan held Lu Su's memorial in his hand. His chest rose and fell violently, as if the flaming anger was about to burst out of his chest.
Snapped!
Sun Quan suddenly slapped the case and shouted sternly: "Come here, send troops to Ling Cao's house quickly, capture all Ling Cao's family, charge them all with collaborating with the enemy, and kill them on the spot."
As soon as these words came out, all the officials present were horrified.
Veteran minister Zhang Zhao hurriedly said: "My lord is angry, I don't know what happened. Why did my lord suddenly want to kill the Ling clan?"
"See for yourselves." Sun Quan angrily threw Lu Su's memorial down the stairs.
Zhang Zhao picked up the crumpled silk book and gathered around with Yu Fan and several other colleagues to take a look. Only then did he know the bad news that Lu Su lost the battle of Chaisang and the newly opened grain fields were destroyed by Yan Liang. .
In his memorial, Lu Su also mentioned how Ling Tong fought for Yan Liang, resulting in Xu Sheng's defeat.
Only then did everyone realize that Sun Quan was angry with Ling Cao and other Ling clan because of Ling Tong's surrender.
Zhang Zhao was waiting for persuasion. Seeing that Sun Quan was angry because of this incident, he immediately shut up. He just shook his head and sighed.
When the other ministers saw that Sun Quan was in a rage, no one dared to touch the bad luck, and most of them remained silent.
The soldiers under his command were immediately ready to deliver the order.
At this moment, Yu Fan stood up and said with cupped hands: "In the battle of Wuping, Ling Tong was surrounded by heavy siege, so he had to surrender. Now Ling Tong is working for Yan Liang. Although he owes the lord a great kindness, he is not as guilty as his family. "My subordinates think that the Lord's plan to kill the Ling clan seems to have gone too far."
Yu Fan was an upright man and ignored Sun Quan's anger. A blatant suggestion, he dared to say that Sun Quan's approach was a bit "excessive".
Sun Quan was immediately furious and said sternly: "Ling Tong betrayed his master and surrendered to the thieves. He killed me, the son of Jiangdong. If I don't kill Lingcao's clan, how can I order the generals?"
Yu Fan was not afraid of Sun Quan's wrath and said sternly: "Although Ling Tong is guilty, Ling Gongde has always been loyal to his lord. The previous time he was sick and knelt down outside the military mansion to plead guilty to his lord. If he still wants to be executed, This clan will chill Jiangdong¡¯s father.¡±
Ling Cao was a native of Wu County. Although he was not one of the most powerful families in Jiangdong, he was also a powerful native of Jiangdong. Yu Fan was also an indigenous scholar of Jiangdong. Naturally, he had to defend Ling Cao, both emotionally and rationally.
His words "chilling the hearts of Jiangdong's fathers" sounded to Sun Quan as a vague threat to him.
Sun Quan was in a state of anger. At this time, he was provoked by Yu Fan's strong words. He became even more furious and cursed: "You Yu Fan, how dare you use the people of Jiangdong to threaten me? Come on, kill this guy." Get out of here."
"My lord, my subordinates' loyal words are offensive to my ears. I hope my lord -"
While Yu Fan was still waiting to speak, the pro-army tiger soldiers on his left and right had already advanced fiercely and drove Yu Fan out.
Sun Quan was furious and his face was still red with anger. He suddenly drew his sword angrily and said sternly: "Yan Liang is a dog thief who bullies people too much. IThe decision has been made. In the near future, we will mobilize all the troops from Jiangdong and go to Chaisang to fight Yan Liang to the death! "
The power of power and anger was growing. Even veteran ministers like Zhang Zhao were frightened by Sun Quan's power. They knew that Sun Quan sent troops out of anger, but no one dared to persuade him.
¡¡
Fankou camp.
Yan Liang, who burned Chaisang farmland and defeated Xu Sheng's army, did not choose to take advantage of the victory to attack, but calmly returned to Fankou.
The strategic goal has been achieved. Even if the army is forced to march, with more than 10,000 troops, Chaisang cannot be conquered. Yan Liang will not do such a useless feat.
Yan Liang, who returned to Fankou, estimated that Sun Quan would probably mobilize a large number of troops to retaliate after hearing about Chaisang's defeat, so he reinforced the Fankou camp and sent people to Xiangyang to urge Huang Yueying to speed up the construction of vehicles and ships.
A few days later, Siwen Cao Xizuo sent the latest information about Jiangdong to Yan Liang.
The Chinese military tent.
When Yan Liang saw the information about Sun Quan's large-scale military campaign, his calm expression showed no signs of disturbance, as if he had expected this.
Since he captured Jiangxia, Sun Quan has been like a pesky fly, coming to harass him again and again, which has already made Yan Liang intolerable.
Yan Liang will not make the mistake of Liu Bei in history and continue to pamper the Bi Yaner. Now that the lord has raised an army, it suits Yan Liang's wishes.
When Yan Liang saw another piece of information, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
After a moment of silence, Yan Liang sighed, "I didn't expect Sun Quan to be so vicious. Come on, please invite General Ling Gongji." - Didn't finish reading?
