Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 563

"It's the old man Gan Ning again." Halfway through speaking, Sun Quan suddenly remembered Zhang Fei's words, and quickly told Hu Zong: "You send someone to Dongting immediately, and pass on my order for Lu Xun to send a navy back to Jiangxia."

"Ah? After withdrawing the navy, how could General Lu stop the encircling army?" Hu Zong was very puzzled.

"What else? Wait for Gan Ning to break our way?" Sun Quan shouted.

"It is said that the Jingzhou navy also suffered heavy losses. Gan Ning should not have the spare energy to come here, right? Besides, he should return to aid Jiangling." Hu Zong continued to ask questions.

Sun Quan said angrily, "Let's pass the order. How do you know the real situation? Now I only know that Jiang Gongyi died in Hanshui. The navy army he brought was almost wiped out, but Gan Ning is alive and well."

"Wei." Hu Zong didn't dare to be stubborn again.

After Hu Zong left in a hurry, Sun Quan lowered his head and found that Zhou Zheng was not wearing his clothes, and called the waiter back to the room to change again.

After tidying up his clothes, the waiter brought breakfast, and Sun Quan came to the governor's mansion after eating, and was going to call Jiang Qin's defeated soldiers to ask about the situation.

Before the defeated soldiers at the pier returned, Quan Cong, the general who was in charge of guarding the city, broke into the hall by accident. He hurried forward and clasped his fists to report: "My lord, there is an urgent military situation."

Sun Quan's right eye kept beating, and he looked impatient, "Zihuang (Quan Cong) wants to talk about Hanshui? Weize (Hu Zong) already told me this morning."

Quan Cong shook his head and replied, "Reporting to my lord, a large number of troops appeared in the southwest direction. It is very likely that they are the reinforcements that Zhang Fei mentioned."

"What? Take me to have a look." Sun Quan stood up in a jerk before his butt was warmed up.

Everyone in the hall was shocked when they heard that, and they all began to doubt Zhang Fei's previous words. Jingzhou continued to increase troops to Jiangxia. If it wasn't premeditated, it was very likely that they wanted to capture the thief first and capture the king first.

Quan Cong led Sun Quan and others to the south tower of Jiangxia again. He saw banners unfurling two or three miles away, and a uniform marching team was slowly approaching.

"The number of this army should be nearly 2," Quan Cong reported based on his own experience. Although the number he counted was correct, he didn't know that half of them were soldiers who were responsible for transporting supplies.

Sun Quan gasped. At this time, there was no difference in the total strength of the troops inside and outside the city. Except for the thousands of naval troops at the North Gate Wharf, Jiangxia's defenders were already at a disadvantage in numbers, which made Sun Quan's doubts continue to expand.

Did Lu Xun really vote?
"My lord, look." Zhuge Jin pointed not far away.

Following the direction of Zhuge Jin's finger, Sun Quan saw the flag waving in the wind in the army formation, then gritted his teeth and said: "Fazheng has indeed come to Jingzhou, I don't know how long Liu Xuande has been planning."

"Fazheng is the best at conspiracies, together with the fierce generals Zhang Fei, Pang De, and Liu Xuande, the conspiracy is very big." Zhuge Jin's face was serious.

Zhang Fei and Fazheng did not save Jiangling but came to attack Jiangxia instead. Jiang Qin's navy was wiped out by Gan Ning in Hanshui. In addition, Yu Fan's hexagram was so poor that Sun Quan's already suspicious character made him completely lose his judgment.

"Zi Huang."

"The end is here."

"Immediately send people to the front to send orders to order Pan Zhang and Zhu Ran to withdraw to Jiangxia's defense as soon as possible, and Lv Meng to lead troops to Dongting to incorporate Lu Xun's troops. If there is resistance, shoot and kill." Sun Quan's face was serious.

"Ah?" Quan Cong was stunned, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

"Aren't you going to do it right away? Didn't you see that it was a conspiracy? There is a traitor in our Jiangdong who wants to make us doomed." Sun Quan's anger was obvious in his words.

"My lord, please think twice. Lu Boyan is dedicated to the public. How can he be suspicious because of a few rumors? The so-called monarch doubts the ministers, and the ministers will die. If you withdraw all the soldiers and horses, wouldn't all previous efforts be wasted? Maybe the governor has captured Jiangling now. General Pan It is the time to behead a general and make meritorious deeds, and once he falls into the trap, it will be too late to regret it." Yu Fan hurriedly knelt down to remonstrate bitterly.

"Since we have sent troops to capture Jingzhou, we have completely torn our faces with Liu Bei. If we withdraw now, Guan Yu will have a chance to breathe. This person will invade Jiangdong in the future. Why don't we wait patiently?" Quan Cong followed suit. Lu Xun said good things.

Sun Quan looked at the army getting closer and closer outside the city, and said to Yu Fan coldly: "Since Zhongxiang is trying to protect it, I will not retreat for the time being, but Liu Xuande's continuous increase of troops and Jiangxia has to guard against it, so you immediately take the fast boat to Dongting Great Wall Camp, order Lu Boyan to abandon Dongting and return to Jiangxia."

"Ah? My lord, withdraw the soldiers from Dongting now, and the reinforcements from Jingnan and Jiaozhou will be able to enter the Yangtze River. Isn't it true that the governor is facing the enemy?" Yu Fan was still debating.

"Hmph, the garrisons in Changsha have been evacuated by Guan Yu, and the garrisons in Lingling and Guiyang are also very small, while Jiaozhou has only more than 2 garrisons, half of which are restrained by Duke Ding (Lv Dai) in the Longchuan area. Lantian can deploy troops There are more than [-] horses at most, tell me how many soldiers are there outside Jiangxia City?" Sun Quan asked coldly.

"More than 2," Yu Fan answered honestly.

"All the soldiers and horses from Lantian have come to Jiangxia, who is Lu Boyan still defending in Dongting? Those fish and shrimps in the Xiangshui?" Sun Quan became more and more angry.

"But Lantian didn't show up, we only saw Zhang Fei, Pound and Fazheng." Yu Fan was still defending.

Zhuge Jin really couldn't stand it, and advised meaningfully from the side: "Zhongxiang, don't argue with the lord, the black owl named Lantian is cunning and good at hiding, maybe he is outside the city at this time, we and Boyan are both cheated by him."

Yu Fan was startled when he heard that, and quickly cupped his hands and said, "My lord, don't worry, I will go to Dongting right away, and I will definitely bring General Lu back."

"Remember to go to the north gate. There are Zhang Fei's rangers on the other three sides. I'm afraid you will die to deliver the letter." Sun Quan reminded with a frown.

"I can save it, thank you for reminding me, my lord." Yu Fan nodded and bowed, lifted his hem and trotted for a while, and gradually disappeared into the tower.

Sun Quan said to Quan Cong with a solemn expression: "Zi Huang, there are more and more troops outside the city now, so pay special attention to the defense of each city gate. I will ask Xie Fanwei to assist in defending the city."

"My lord, don't worry, there will be an end, and Jiangxia is as solid as gold." Quan Cong clasped his fists and replied sonorously.

Sun Quan patted Quan Cong on the shoulder to express his affirmation. He walked down the tower and found Hu Zong waiting there, so he asked curiously, "Is there something wrong?"

Hu Zong clasped his fists and saluted: "The last general has sent someone to Dongting Lake to ask for reinforcements as requested by the lord, and also brought back the trilogy of two generals. They are currently placed in the Jiefanwei army camp. Would you like to ask about the situation?" ?”

"That's what I mean, but before that, please go to the port again and prepare the warships in advance. If there is a change in Jiangxia, we still have a way out." Sun Quan said seriously.

"My lord, please go first. General Xu is in Jiefanwei. He will go to the port to make arrangements, and then return to the camp to report to you."

The deployment in Jiangxia City was in full swing. Outside the city, Xu Shuang commanded the recruits to set up camp. Fazheng, led by Zhang Fei and Pang De, patrolled the city to see if there was any chance of breaking the city.

More than a hundred riders guarded several generals, and walked slowly from the east to the south of Jiangxia City. When they came to the west gate, the sky was already dark and they could not see clearly.

Suddenly there was a whoosh, and a cold arrow hit the city wall.

"Military division be careful."

Zhang Fei's ears heard the wind, and he saw that he had quick eyesight and quick hands, and used a bright silver spear to deflect the hidden arrow.
