Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 317: A melee, the whole Jiangling is in chaos!
Lu Su was a little hesitant, but Ling Tong was anxious.

People say Lu Su is depressed, and he is also depressed.

The general of Jiangdong went to Hefei to fight with Lu Xun.

This time, they even captured Hefei and made countless contributions.

But all this has nothing to do with Ling Tong.

In Chaisang, he was not valued, or rather... there was no plan to use him at all.

Ling Tong was not from a noble family; his father Ling Cao had gained his merits through fighting.

Without merit, Ling Tong would be nothing.

This is similar to Zhou Tai's situation at the time. As a general who had gained his status through military exploits, once he was idle, his status would decline very quickly.

Although Ling Tong knew where the problem lay and tried to solve it, it was obviously unsuccessful.

Seeing Lu Su's hesitation, he could not help but say, "Commander-in-chief, if our food and grass are taken away and we send them back with a flattering face, I am afraid we will not be able to explain to the Marquis of Wu."

"Besides, after Jiangling is captured, Liu Bei will get the news and will definitely lead his army here."

"Can we trick Liu Bei into borrowing the passage?"

Ling Tong's meaning was clear. Once Liu Bei came to attack, even if Jiangling was in the hands of Jiangdong and was said to have been taken from Cao's army, it would not be able to calm Liu Bei's anger.

There is some truth in what you said.

Especially if Xing Daorong was killed by Cao's army, Liu Bei and Jiangdong would certainly have an irreconcilable feud.

However, Lu Su did not have Sun Quan's orders after all, so he was still a little hesitant at this moment.

In fact, as the Grand Commander, Lu Su had the right to act expediently when outside the capital.

In this day and age, if a general did not have military power, he would be in a very passive position. Therefore, even if Cao's army and Sun Quan had agreed to borrow the passage, Lu Su would take action if he found that something was not right.

It was just that Lu Su was a calm person who put the overall situation first, which was why he hesitated.

Ling Tong realized that he still couldn't convince Lu Su after saying all this, so he could only say: "General, if we counterattack Jiangling and kill Cao's soldiers, we can also give an explanation to Liu Bei."

"We only found out that Cao's army came from a small path. We didn't find them. Later, we heard about the war in Jiangling. Although they rushed here at full speed, they were still one step behind."

As Ling Tong spoke, he felt that there was nothing wrong with his idea, so he continued, "If we act this way, Liu Bei may still be dissatisfied, but he can only focus on dealing with Cao Cao, and it has little to do with us."

"Otherwise, Zhang Liao would have left Jiangling and fled. We would have to bear the wrath of Liu Bei who lost his beloved general."

It was also because Lu Su and Ling Tong did not expect that Cao's army had the intention of massacring the city, otherwise they would have attacked Jiangling without even thinking about it.

However, if the city was really massacred, it would be useless even if Jiangdong went to fight Zhang Liao.

Thanks to Xing Daorong's quick reaction and Zhang Liao's conscience, things did not become irreversible.

Ling Tong had said this calmly, and Lu Su felt that it was just as he said, and it was impossible not to send troops!

He immediately slammed the table and shouted, "Zhang Liao has gone too far, intercepting our food supplies and troops. This revenge must be avenged!"

"General Ling, you should lead 20,000 soldiers and kill Jiang Ling!"

Ling Tong was overjoyed when he heard this!

The time to establish merit has finally come!
As for how to explain to Sun Quan at that time, it is actually simple.

Just say that it was Cao's army that turned against them first! Then he received the military order, returned to the camp to recruit soldiers, and marched to Jiangling.

Lu Su grabbed him and said, "Zhang Liao doesn't have much food left. If General Ling leaves, we can besiege Jiangling. It won't take a few days for it to fall without a fight."

"If we break out, we can open a gap in the north and let Zhang Liao's troops go to Xiangfan."

"By then, Zhuge Liang will be there to deal with him."

Ling Tong kept it in mind and didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest.

Seeing that Lu Su had no further instructions, he returned to the camp to recruit troops and headed for Jiangling.
But Zhang Liao was in Jiangling, waiting for food and grass to arrive from Jiangdong. Unexpectedly, instead of waiting for food and grass, he waited for shocking news.

Jiangdong's food and grass were intercepted along the way!
Upon hearing the news, the first person Zhang Liao thought of was the missing Xing Daorong.

However, it was not until he received the news that Jiangdong's grain and grass had been intercepted that he realized that Xing Daorong had not left.

Otherwise, he would have always thought that Xing Daorong had gone to Xichuan long ago!
But even now that I realize that Xing Daorong is still here, I can't explain it.

especially.
The relationship between Jiangdong and himself was originally very delicate, and there was no trust at all.

After thinking about it, he decided that he had to explain the matter, but he didn't expect that before his messenger left, the army from Jiangdong came all the way from Gong'an to kill him.
Looking at the Jiangdong army under the city, Zhang Liao suddenly felt what Xing Daorong felt a few days ago.

Even though the number of soldiers and horses in his city is more than that of Xing Daorong that day, the key is that there is no food!

There was not a grain of food left in Jiangling City, they were all taken away by Xing Daorong!

I originally came here with light luggage, and left all the baggage transport to Jiangdong. Once Jiangdong turns against us, not to mention 20,000 people, 200,000 people will die!
Zhang Liao looked at the Jiangdong soldiers under the city and felt extremely angry!
Although he hated Jiang Dong's back-and-forth, he had no other choice but to speak nicely to him.

But he asked, "Who is coming here from the city?"

The general at the foot of the city shouted, "Ling Tong of Jiangdong is here. If you open the city gates and surrender immediately, I will spare your lives!"

When Zhang Liao heard that Ling Tong, who was outside the city, did not give him any face and wanted to surrender, his face suddenly changed.

Knowing that there was no room for reversal today, he still tried to shout: "General Ling Tong, we have already said that if you send us food and grass, we will hand over the city."

"Why didn't you come with baggage and food today?"

When Ling Tong heard Zhang Liao speak like this, he immediately felt bullied.

Ling Tong had a bad temper to begin with, and at this moment only one thought came to his mind: "How dare this fellow deceive me!"

Thinking of this, he shouted even more rudely: "Zhang Liao! How dare you bring up this matter!"

"We came here with good intentions, but you intercepted our food and supplies! You even used this city to control our Jiangdong men!"

"Bah! Today I will show you that we can take Jiangling City without you having to give it up!"

After saying that, he actually started to attack by beating the drum!

Zhang Liao was immediately furious!
I cursed in my heart that this Jiangdong person was so shameless.

It's obvious that he knew that there were not many soldiers in his own camp, so he dared to attack like this!
If there were sufficient food and grass, and the city was not an isolated one, how could that kid from Jiangdong dare to act so presumptuously in front of me!
just
Now that the boy from Jiangdong had seized the opportunity, no matter how he cursed, he could only complain in his heart.

at the moment
He had no other choice but to face Jiangdong's attempt to take advantage of the situation and rob him.

They immediately responded by beating drums, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

A few days later, the battle between Liu and Cao turned into a battle between Sun and Cao.
