Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 358: Attacking from all sides, attacking Moling

Liu Bei is currently attacking from all sides.

After passing Chaisang, the troops headed towards Yuzhang County and swept across Lujiang County.

Wherever they passed, the people of Jiangdong had no desire to fight, and it was unknown how many surrendered.
It was indeed as Liu Bei said, the overall situation had been decided, and only Sun Quan was still resisting stubbornly.

And it seemed that the fatal blow would be left to Xing Daorong.

Xing Daorong immediately accepted the order and returned to the camp to select his troops and prepare for the battle to destroy Wu.

But Bu Zhi came to see Xing Daorong. First, he expressed his intentions, second, he persuaded Ling Tong to surrender, and third, he got the news that Xing Daorong was going to send troops. It can be said that he gained a lot.

Before leaving, he said a few words to Xing Daorong.

Xing Daorong was even more open-hearted and said a few words to Bu Zhi.

But he said: "Although destiny is granted by heaven, achievements must be made by man. Now the dangers of Jianghuai have been overcome, Sun Quan is more violent than Cao Cao, and the difficulties faced by the people of Wu have reached their peak."

"We will surely win this battle. Go back and talk to Lord Yuan Tan. The time has come. It is time to serve."

Bu Zhi's face looked heavy.

Although Sun Quan's actions had forced him to Liu Bei's side, it was still hard not to sigh when he heard that he was going to attack Moling.

but
It's just some sighs.

Hearing Xing Daorong's heartfelt words at this moment, I knew that he was speaking the truth.

He just bowed and said, "I will keep in mind what General Xing said."

After saying that, he left quickly again.

Now is the time to seize the moment
Xing Daorong said that he wanted to attack Moling directly, so he still had to make preparations.

No matter how hard the attack goes, the troops must be reorganized and food supplies arranged.

Especially now it is winter. Although the winter in Jiangdong is better than in the north, it will still have some impact on the march.

In some places, it even snows.

Originally, it was not appropriate to mobilize troops at this time, but now is the time to strike while the sick is at hand, not only to take advantage of Sun Quan's illness, but also to take advantage of Cao Cao's illness.

The reason why things are going so smoothly right now is because Cao Cao cannot mobilize his troops!
Therefore, even though Liu Bei has won victory after victory, he still has to seize the time.

While Xing Daorong was preparing, Bu Zhi rushed all the way and soon returned to Wu County.

Gu Yong and Lu Ji had naturally been waiting for a long time. When they heard Bu Zhi coming back, they hurried to greet him.

This attitude is much better than a few days ago.

As for why.
It was also because of the attack by Liu Bei's army.

At present, news has come from Yuzhang County that the two generals Wei Yan and Huang Zhong have taken over cities everywhere and have almost taken control of the entire Yuzhang.

The two of them even headed towards Jiaozhou, apparently preparing to incorporate Jiaozhou again.

As for the direction of Lujiang, Zhang Fei's troops were also very sharp, and even if there was some resistance, it could not cause any trouble.

Under such military pressure, Gu Yong and Lu Ji finally could not sit still anymore.

I really didn't expect that Liu Bei's "winter offensive" would be so fierce. I was unsure and naturally welcomed Bu Zhi.

Bu Zhi did not act arrogantly when he met the two men.

The three of them sat down, and then they heard Bu Zhi say, "I met General Xing the other day. He was very talkative. As soon as he opened his mouth, I knew what he was here for."

"Now they are ready to capture Moling, but they ask us to prepare well, so as not to miss the opportunity at this last moment."

Concise and concise!

Straight to the core!

After hearing this, Gu Yong and Lu Ji looked at each other, then nodded and said, "It seems that the King of Hanzhong is quite willing to accept us?" The acceptance mentioned by these two people is not just simple acceptance.

This kind of acceptance is to maintain the current status.

Even to go a step further.

Bu Zhi did not respond to this, but continued, "Ling Tong has now returned to Liu Bei. Liu Bei has appointed him as the vanguard general to attack and capture Moling."

After these words were spoken, Gu Yong and the others understood.

Liu Bei could indeed accept the two of them, but he also needed them to be as helpful as Ling Tong.

After understanding Bu Zhi's words, Gu Yong said, "Now we just need to stabilize Wujun. I will go to Moling and persuade the Marquis of Wu to surrender."

When Lu Ji heard this, he thought that Gu Yong was really seeking wealth and fame at the risk of his own life!
Is it possible to just persuade Sun Quan to surrender?

It’s definitely not possible!
Besides, judging from the fact that he ignored everything else and started to act crazy as soon as he returned, this guy has gone crazy!

A gentleman does not stand on a dangerous wall!

How can Sun Quan go back in such a state?
Not to mention persuading them to surrender!

He immediately tried to dissuade him, saying, "No, no, why not stay in Wu County and wait until Moling is conquered, and then defend Wu County for the King of Hanzhong."

Gu Yong said: "Don't worry, Gongji, I will be careful about this matter. It would be best to persuade the Marquis of Wu to surrender. If that is not possible, I will not force it."

"But if we don't go, we will be just like everyone else, just waiting for General Xing to ask for favors, which is not good."

This still makes sense.

Lu Ji knew that Gu Yong did this for his own people.

Seeing that Gu Yong had made up his mind, he said, "That's fine, but Yuan Tan must be careful, because Sun Quan can do anything right now!"

Gu Yong nodded slightly, his expression extremely heavy.

He knew in his heart that something was not right in Moling, so he naturally had to be careful.

What is the situation in Moling?

To put it simply, it’s just one word: sad!

A murderous atmosphere permeated Sun Quan's hall.

The hall was tall and dark, with heavy curtains hanging low, allowing only a few rays of dim light to penetrate.

The sandalwood pillars are carved with dragon and phoenix totems, appearing simple and steady. In such an atmosphere, even the slightest noise can cause an echo.

The hall was brightly lit, but the light seemed to be swallowed up by some unspoken oppressive force, making the entire space seem deeper and cooler.

Sun Quan sat upright, his face expressionless and his eyes as sharp as torches, making the civil and military officials below dare not look directly at him.

They stood with their heads down, their bodies straight, as if they were carefully suppressing even the sound of their breathing.

The air was filled with tension, a mixture of power and fear. Time seemed to have frozen at this moment, and everyone was waiting for some kind of decision, some kind of announcement that might change their fate.

Gu Yong was also among them.

However, although it was full of people, the entire hall was so quiet that Gu Yong could only hear his own heartbeat. Everyone's breathing seemed to be swallowed by this heavy atmosphere.

Suddenly, a golden bird flew past the window and chirped.

At this moment, the tense atmosphere in the hall seemed to be broken a little, but when Sun Quan glanced at it, the bird immediately disappeared from everyone's sight, and the hall fell into deathly silence again.

Gu Yong lowered his head and looked around, but found that many people were also trembling with fear and did not dare to speak.

He sighed in his heart and said, "The more this happens, the closer it will be to destruction!"
