Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 579 We haven't boarded the boat yet

After leaving twenty ships behind, Lu Meng ordered the warships to sail westward day and night, and arrived at the east of Jiangling at dusk the next day.

Thinking of the experience of the past month, Lu Meng felt that he was being manipulated by an invisible hand. Why didn't his seamless scheme work?At this time, he couldn't control why Jiang Qin was defeated.

Lü Meng planned to return to the Jiangling camp to attack the city immediately. He only needed to leave a small amount of water troops to contain Gan Ning, and then turned around to deal with him after the city was broken.

Multi-line control of the army to fight, the previous two governors didn't have this ability, right?
The setting sun slanted on Lu Meng's oily face, and he smiled proudly thinking that he was so 'excellent'.

Suddenly there were cavalry galloping ahead. Lu Meng guessed what was going on in Jiangling, so he ordered the main ship to move towards the shore.

The scouts were stationed on the bank of the horse and shouted to Jiang Xin: "Governor, something is wrong. General Sun retreated to Jiangling, and the warships of the public security are chasing us."

Lu Meng's head shook when he heard this, and he almost fell off the boat. He suppressed his panic and asked, "Please explain clearly, why did General Sun Jiao lose?"

"It is said that Su Fei and the reinforcements are attacking from inside and outside, and General Sun can't resist it and can only retreat. The Gu Supervisor asked the governor to lead the warship back to help." The scout replied panting.

Lu Meng was so shocked that he didn't speak for a long time. Sun Jiao was flanked by people in front of the police, the Yangtze River waterway had been opened up, and the Dongting water mouth guarded by Lu Xun had a high probability of falling, and the reinforcements from Jingnan and Jiaozhou could only appear.

Is Lantian too strong, or is Lu Xun too weak to give his own advice?Lu Meng was frantically thinking about retreating.

"Great Governor, what should we do?" the general beside him asked in a panic.

Lu Meng frowned, and said sharply: "Order all the ships to advance at full speed, and meet General Sun and Gu Jianjun first."

"Wei." General Pi went to deliver the order immediately.

After Lu Meng gave the order, he told the scouts to return to the camp to inform Gu Li that they were ready to set up camp at any time, while he went back to the cabin to analyze the map of Jingzhou.

When the sky was gray and almost completely dark, Lu Meng's fleet arrived in the southeast of Jiangling, and Gu Li and several generals were already waiting at the pier.

"It's good that the governor is back, it's really a close call now." Gu Li looked at the warship and sighed.

Lu Meng asked suspiciously: "Didn't General Sun retreat to Jiangling? Why didn't you see his fleet? The Yangtze River is so wide and vast, it's impossible for Su Fei to stop them all?"

"General Sun just went westward against the Yangtze River, and I don't know why he didn't stop at Jiangling. Maybe he has some plans." Gu Li sighed after finishing speaking, thinking that he is the lord's cousin, how can I, the supervisor, order it? ?

"mix"

Just as Lu Meng was about to get angry, he suddenly saw a "Fire Dragon" appearing in the south. It was obvious that the army was marching at night with torches. From the light of the fire, there were countless soldiers.

"Order all the ships to turn west and enter the Yangtze River immediately, and let's catch up with General Sun Jiao's fleet." Lu Meng turned around and no longer looked at Gu Li.

Gu Li was dumbfounded, thinking what is the governor doing?By the time he reacted, the hundreds of warships had drifted away from him.

"I haven't boarded the boat yet, Chief Commander, we haven't boarded the boat yet." Gu Li shouted while running along the river, but the people on the boat seemed to be collectively deaf, and Lu Meng even hid in the cabin.

"How could this be?" Gu Li ran for a while and slumped on the ground.

"Gu Supervisor, look over there." The accompanying guard pointed to the other side of the river to remind him.

Having been blocked by the fleet just now, Gu Li stood up and found countless torches. He finally understood why Lu Meng had to run away.

"Selfish waste, do they want to enter Sichuan?" Gu Li stepped on the dirt.

"What do we do now?" the guard asked in panic.

Lu Meng left Guli with only 3000 men, who might not even be able to stop the defenders of Jiangling City. He thought about it carefully and said: "We will return to the camp immediately, and the commander has already escaped. How can we continue this battle? We have to think about it." Way to withdraw to Jiangxia."

"Marching at night?" the guard asked.

"The thieves are estimated to be able to cross the river soon. We can only take the risk of setting off overnight. Remember not to use torches to expose them. After a while, everyone will hold on to the rope and walk slowly. Anyway, hurry up now." Gu Li urged.

"Wei." The guard clasped his fists and nodded.

Jiangling City was quiet at night. It hadn't been attacked by the Jiangdong Army in the past few days, and the guards were not used to it. Xiang Xun still arranged soldiers to be on duty at night.

The number of soldiers and soldiers defending the city continued to increase, and the military supplies were also in short supply. It has reached the point of demolishing houses and taking stones. Many wealthy people and officials in the city have secretly packed up gold and silver in the past few days, hoping to escape from the city when the defense is relaxed. .

Lan Ji and Guan Xing are taking advantage of this gap to patrol the city with the juvenile battalion, intimidating those Xiaoxiao who are ready to move. He has been influenced by Lan Tian's thoughts since he was a child, and he doesn't think that he must stick to one city and one place. Again, but Gangneung isn't that bad.

After Lan Ji finished his patrol and returned to the West Tower, Xiang Xun suddenly sent someone to report the military situation, saying that the fire outside the south gate of Jiangling was blazing, and it must be that Sun Quan sent more troops to Lu Meng, so he should be more vigilant and not slack off.

Not long after, Guan Xing also rushed over, "Zhongling, have you heard? Lu Meng has more reinforcements, maybe there will be night battles."

"Soldiers come to cover the water and soil, you go to the side to sleep for a while, I can't stand it in the middle of the night, how about you come and replace me?" Lan Ji suggested.

Guan Xing sat down against the pillar next to him, and then smiled and replied: "You are the commander of the army, I can only obey orders, but don't stay asleep for a while."

"I can save it." Lan Ji shook his head.

Guan Xing closed his eyes and soon fell asleep, when he suddenly heard rustling in his ears, he opened his eyes and found that Lan Ji was wearing armor.

"What happened?" Guan Xing immediately stood up.

Lan Ji's expression was very serious, and he replied with a frown: "Just now, the South City Gate made an urgent call to inform the general that the troops had entered the city."

"What? Xiang Xun didn't defend?" Guan Xing was taken aback.

Lan Ji looked serious: "An Guo, you rush home immediately and organize your family to escape from the north gate. I will take the young soldiers and the captive soldiers to block it for a while."

"How can I do that?" Guan Xing's eyes opened like copper bells.

"An Guo, obey the order." Lan Ji's tone was firm, and Guan Xing could not refuse.

Guan Xing nodded, "Okay, Zhongling, you must be careful, if you can't stop it, don't force it."

"Don't worry, I have a fast horse to help." Lan Ji patted Guan Xing on the shoulder.

Guan Xing went down the city and rode straight to the State Shepherd's Mansion, while Lan Ji assembled nearly 2000 people in the shortest time possible, and then ran across the streets and alleys in a mighty direction to the south of the city. The people fled in panic.

The sky in the south of Jiangling City was as bright as day, and a group of soldiers marched forward surrounded by several generals.

"Evil thief, take your life." Lan Ji straightened his horse and straightened his halberd, and went straight to the opponent's general.

"Sir, be careful." The visitor forcefully pushed away Lan Ji's long halberd, and then his mouth formed an O shape: "Zhongling, are you up to it?"

"Uncle Gao?" Lan Ji also saw who was coming at this time. Next to Gao Shun was his father Lan Tian. Lan Ji hurriedly got off his horse and cupped his fists to plead guilty: "Father, are you here?"

Lan Tian looked Lan Ji up and down, nodded affirmatively: "This outfit is not bad, I heard from the captain about your performance, let's go to the government office to talk."

"Oh good, my son is here to guide you." Lan Ji was overjoyed to see his father, and thought to himself that you, Jiangdong rats, are finished.
