Chapter 86
Zhou Yu is dead!

Which is true and false?

The opportunity to cut power!

This was the thought that popped into Le Jin's mind when he heard the news.

Who doesn't know the talent of this Jiangdong governor?
Cao Zixiao, who was famous for being the first to enter the battle, was beaten into a shrinking general in Nanjun by him, and finally abandoned the city and fled.

Le Jin, who has the same style, is full of vigilance as soon as he arrives in Xiangyang.

In just two months, countless news flew in:
It is said that Zhou Yu's merits are so high that he is the master, and Sun Quan is very afraid.

It is said that Zhou Yu gathered troops in Baqiu and wanted to go to Yizhou to stand on his own.

It is even said that Sun Quan sent Jiangling to Liu Bei, which is ridiculous!
Having the courage to be the first to reach the top does not mean that Le Jin is a reckless man, and he has survived every battle until now. On the contrary, it is because he is cautious enough.

He snorted two more mouthfuls of soup cakes, put down the bowl and wiped his beard, and Le Jin signaled his soldiers to read the information.

"News came from Hefei that Zhou Yu died of illness. Jiangdong's generals and ministers all went to Dantu to pay their respects."

Le Jin closed his eyes and said nothing for a moment:

"Send scouts to investigate Dangyang, Jingyang, and Jiangling city defenses."

"Here!"

The soldiers had to be ordered to leave, Le Jin got up and pulled out the iron knife from the beam on the side.

Strong generals mostly use spears, but if they break through the city first, long swords are better.

A faint cold light colored Le Jin's body, he flicked the edge of the blade with satisfaction, and there was a clang.

"Duke Ming's great cause, why should he spare himself!"

In mid-August, Le Jin led the troops into Dangyang, and the gate of Dangyang city was opened with a drum.

"Where's your general?"

Le Jin was riding on the horse, feeling bored seeing Dangyang Shuzuo being pushed out by his own soldiers, and asked casually.

That Shu Zuo Tisi lay on the ground, not daring to move, unable to form a sentence:

"The villain is willing...to surrender! Dangyang is willing to surrender, the villain does not want an official position, nor does he want land, begging the general not to kill..."

"Crack!" Le Jin's horsewhip drew a bloodstain on the surface of the book:
"Someone asks you, where is the guard here?"

The pain was fruitful, Na Shuzuo closed his eyes and cried:
"Go back to Jiangdong! Everyone is going back to Jiangdong! Go to the funeral for the governor!"

Le Jin pulled his horse and left, and at the same time ordered:

"Enter Jingyang...no, enter Jiangling, sentry cavalry go first, and inspect twenty li."

The soldiers pulled the reins and went to the back to give orders to the scouts, and soon several teams of scouts rode their horses and whipped their whips and disappeared from the sight of the people of Dangyang.

The unattended Shu Zuo knelt down in the dust, ignoring the pain on his face, and shouted:
"Great grace, General!" "...Great grace!"

The next morning after Le Jin finished eating the bowl of soup cakes, he got the news:
Dangyang and Jingyang city defenses are empty, and on the road you can still meet scattered civilians fleeing, and the captured civilians are called the guards and commanders and return to Jiangdong.

The sentry cavalry did not dare to get too close to Jiangling for fear of being noticed, but they could see that the construction of the new city outside Jiangling had been suspended, and the city gate guards were playing in the river.

Or a trap... But Zhou Gongjin is dead, so why be afraid?

Without hesitation, Le Jin led 6000 people across Dangyang and headed straight for Jiangling.

As for Shu Zuo's crying, he didn't take it to heart at all, as long as Jiangling is broken, Dangyang people will not have the final say on what will happen to Dangyang.

There is no difference whether it falls or not, the dust on the edge of the city does not lack the irrigation of those few taels of blood.

Can 6000 people take Jiangling?Le Jin sat on the horse with the rein in his hand, meditating.

The north of Jiangling City faced water, and at this time the army was approaching, and the guards playing in the water hurriedly ran back to the city, but the city gate was not closed immediately.

After a while, some riders rushed out from Jiangling City, holding torches and carrying tung oil, they came straight to the bridge, as if they wanted to burn the bridge down.

Without ordering, the random arrows forced Jiqi to be unable to move forward, Jiqi hesitated for a while, and finally seemed to do his best to throw things towards the bridge as best as he could, and then returned without looking at the horse.

This action caused a burst of laughter from Le Jin's subordinates, and some people laughed: "Wu Bing is like this, one Han is five Hu, and Wu Bing is half Hu."

Although it was a bit noisy, the formation was not scattered, and they were all waiting for Le Jin's final decision.

"Go in!" Le Jin finally made a decision.

Zhou Yu is dead, who can stop him?Cao Zixiao has said that Jiangdong Zhou Yu and Sun Ce are the only ones, and the rest are mediocre.

The small group of soldiers crossed the river first to control the bridge, and then began to cut down trees to build the bridge on the spot. The bridge must not only be widened, but there cannot be only one bridge.

During this process, the city gate of Jiangling was never closed, and scattered horses kept rushing to harass them, but they hardly affected anything. This kind of harassment was not like a struggle when a catastrophe was imminent, but a sense of coping.

Could it be that there is not even a guard in Jiangling City?

Three pontoon bridges capable of riding four parallels were erected, and Lejin's headquarters was also next to Jiangling City, until the gate of Jiangling City was hastily closed.

"Building a new city next to the old city, Zhou Gongjin is indeed a handsome talent. If the two cities are completed, it will be difficult to conquer the two cities without ten times as many soldiers."

"Joy into Jiangling"

Seeing that a basic new city has just been built on the edge of Jiangling City, Le Jin is very fortunate:
"Fortunately, Zhou Gongjin died early, otherwise, if this city is completed, the road to the south of Nanjun will be cut off."

Looking at the newly grown rice near the city, Le Jin commented:
"With this kind of management, I need to thank Zhou Gongjin for what I have waited for."

Moving his eyes to the Liannu on the city, Le Jin laughed and commented:
"Big and useless..."

Before the words fell, there was a burst of piercing sound, and in a straight line in the formation, people turned their backs!
At the same time, there were bursts of shouts and shouts in the four fields. Le Jin was startled, but immediately made the most correct coping strategy:
"Order the two teams to control the pontoon bridge, and the rest of the soldiers stick to their positions and retreat slowly!"

Because of the inexplicable blow, there was an uproar in the formation, and at this time, the gate of Jiangling city was opened again, thousands of people came out in a file, who is not the leader Zhang Yide?
"Little Lejin, do you know your grandpa Zhang?"

There was a thunderous sound, and the morale in Le Jinjun's formation dropped again.

And in the northeast of the army formation, a fleet of ships was also slowly approaching, and the sound of beating drums on the ship was loud.

Pain too!

The unknown crossbow on Jiangling City didn't stop, every ten breaths the people in the army turned over on their backs, the reinforcements were hidden in the city, and there was a navy on the river, the opponent was already waiting for him here!
"There is only a fight to the death! Take the bridge with me!" Le Jin was also aroused bloody, drew out his long knife, and took the lead in attacking the pontoon bridge.

The current plan is to stick to the pontoon bridge and let the subordinates withdraw, so as to reorganize the formation to fight.

But soon, the ships approached, and a ship turned sideways, revealing the side crossbow.

Under Le Jin's desperate eyes, the arrows shot out, and the temporary pontoon bridge turned into a pile of scattered wood again.

A long beard on the bow will say in a leisurely manner:
"General Yue, why don't you stay and fight against the Cao bandits together to help the great cause?"

Le Jin was silent, just looking at those subordinates who couldn't cross the river.

He had crossed the river first with a few soldiers before, and he thought that the other side would also ambush soldiers on this bank, breaking the pontoon bridge with no way out, but he didn't expect that the other side would have a row of boats and crossbows, and they would break the pontoon bridge without ambush.

In this way, he also lost contact with the formation.

The soldiers seemed to understand something, and shouted one after another:

"The general returns quickly!"

"Return quickly, Xiangyang cannot live without a general!"

Taking another deep look at these old robes, Le Jin closed his eyes in pain, and then he rode away.

"Le Jin fled! Surrender without killing!"

"Le Jin fled! Surrender without killing!"

Hearing the shouts behind him, Le Jin was about to vomit blood and fall off his horse, but in the end he silently determined the direction of Xiangyang and rode away.

Looking at the Cao soldiers who had lost their way of retreat and their morale collapsed, Wei Yan beside Guan Yu was puzzled: "General, why didn't you keep Le Jin behind? You only need to leave half a quarter earlier, and Le Jin will definitely not be able to escape.

"Le Jin is nothing more than a brave general." Guan Yu shook his head: "Beheading Le Jin can make a small contribution, but I'm afraid that Cao's bandits will raise their troops and cause the situation in Jingxiang to deteriorate."

"Follow the army division's wishes and let Le Jin not dare to harass him. Yizhou is the best."

This is also the strategy that Kong Ming and the others finally decided. After killing Le, Cao Ren will only be more difficult to deal with. After the situation is corrupted, it will only waste money here, and instead delay the strategy of Yizhou!
At the same time, Liu Bei's boat also arrived at the ferry in Gong'an County. Sun Qian who came to greet him saw the tired-looking lord and Mi Zhu beside him.

And a refined scribe who is seventy percent similar in temperament to a military advisor.

There is also a young general with wide-eyed eyes looking left and right.

 Going to Sanjiang is inseparable from your supervision and support, thank you again.
