The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 361 Siege of Moling
"Not only that, but Wen He's letter said that the Flying Cavalry Army only had a small victory over Zhou Yu, and they themselves lost more than 1000 riders, and they were also hit by Zhou Yu's wolf smoke, which made the horse sick and unable to fight again in a short period of time." Li Yuan said in the letter Say it to everyone.

Everyone was amazed when they heard the words, Zhou Yu used troops really well, even Zhao Yun was defeated by him, although the flying cavalry army won a small victory for a while, but the loss was also not small, it can only be said that it was a tie.

"No matter what, the current situation is favorable to our army. Sun Ce was seriously injured, Zhou Yu was driven out of Xuzhou, and Zhongye was asked to attack Moling ten days later. There is no need to hold back." Li Yuan ordered, "Uncle Zhi, Guan Hai, Zhou Cang, The three of you returned to your respective residences, I heard that Han Yu has already dismissed the post of Langya prefect, Zhicai, who do you think can be the prefect of Langya now?"

In fact, Li Yuan originally wanted Guan Hai or Zhou Cang to be the prefects of Langya. After all, these two people have guarded Langya for a long time and are very familiar with Langya. It would be more appropriate for them to be the prefects of Langya. If you are unable to do the job, you have to find another talented person to take the job.

"My lord, Chen Deng is a good choice. He is the son of Chen Gui. He is smart and responsible. He has served in Shouchun for a long time. It is very suitable for him to be the prefect of Langya." Xi Zhicai recommended.

"Wen He said in the letter that Chen Gui helped a lot when the Flying Cavalry Army was chasing Zhou Yu, and it would be good for Chen Deng to inherit his father's position, so let him be the prefect of Langya."

Li Yuan assigned Chen Gui and his son to work in different places eight or nine years ago because he was worried that the Chen family would be too powerful in Xuzhou to effectively control them. At that time, he had not long captured Xuzhou and his foundation was unstable, so he did this. Now that Chen Gui is old, the Chen family's loyalty to him is already very high, so now there is no need to worry about the Chen family having a different heart.

Before he knew it, ten days had passed, and the time agreed with Zhou Yu had arrived. In order to prevent Guangling from being attacked again, Li Yuan had sent Zhang Xiu to Guangling to help Chen Dao guard it. River.

Li Yuan led the army to Liyang, waiting for the news of Wenpin's attack on Moling, and then left Huang Xu's soldiers and horses to guard the Lujiang River, so as not to be attacked by Zhou Yu. You won't repeat the old tricks, so it's better to take more precautions.

A few days later, Li Yuan's army arrived in Liyang. This time was completely different from the last time. Now that the Jiangdong army had been severely injured by them, the balance of victory was already tilted towards them.

Li Yuan received good news as soon as he arrived in Liyang, that is, after Zhou Yu returned to Moling, he was busy cleaning up the remnants of the army. Sun Ce's serious injury greatly reduced the morale of the Jiangdong army, so he did not deploy many defenses on the river, and Wenpin successfully crossed the river without much effort. However, the most exciting news is not that Wenpin successfully crossed the river, but that Gan Ning's soldiers and horses have already reached Moling.

Gan Ning was originally ordered by Li Yuan to send troops from Jiangxia to attack Chaisang. He relied on the building boats to attack Chaisang very smoothly. They just arrived in Danyang, so the two soldiers did not meet. If they met Sun Ce, they would not be able to attack Lujiang. They would have to fight Gan Ning. It seems that this is God's will.

Sun Ce took away almost all of Danyang's elite soldiers, so Danyang did not have many troops. In the end, Gan Ning was cheaper. Gan Ning captured Danyang without any effort, and captured Cheng Pu and Sun Yi alive.

Gan Ning asked from the defenders of Danyang that Sun Ce had gone to attack Lujiang. From this, Gan Ning knew that Li Yuan had not captured Moling, so Sun Ce had the opportunity to attack Lujiang. He stopped him and persuaded Gan Ning to wait a few days before attacking Moling.

It turned out that Xu Shu knew that Li Yuan still had a lot of troops in Lujiang, and even if Sun Ce went to sneak attack, he would definitely not succeed. He had full confidence in Li Yuan, so he was not worried about Sun Ce's sneak attack.

To cross the river, Sun Ce must go to the port near Moling to take a boat. They can attack Moling suddenly after Sun Ce leaves Moling, because Sun Ce must not know that they have taken Danyang at this time, so the assault on Moling is easy to succeed. The soldiers and horses that broke Jiangbei will continue to send energy, and Jiangdong will have no chance to stand up.

Gan Ning decided to follow Xu Shu's advice, rest in Danyang for a few days and then lead an army to raid Moling.A few days later, Gan Ning led his troops to attack Moling, leaving [-] soldiers for Huo Jun to guard Danyang.

As the saying goes, there is no coincidence that no book can be written. On the day Gan Ning arrived at Moling, it happened to be the tenth day of the truce agreed between Li Yuan and Zhou Yu. Wenpin just crossed the river and arrived at Moling. Zhou Yu was in a hurry.

After Li Yuan learned of this, he immediately led his troops across the river. Maybe he could capture Moling in one fell swoop, and then drive straight into Huanglong to capture Zhou Yu and Sun Ce alive.

At this time, Zhou Yu was very busy. He had to guard against Wenpin and Gan Ning. If Wenpin's attack was still in his expectation, then Gan Ning's sudden appearance was definitely something he never expected. Now Gan Ning led an army to attack Moling from behind him, which has cut off his retreat, making it impossible for him to retreat to Wu County, so the current situation is very unfavorable to him.

Zhou Yu was discussing countermeasures with the generals, but after discussing for two or three days, everyone could not come up with a good solution. Zhou Yu, who would be calm no matter what crisis he encountered, could not calm down anymore, because he knew that Moling would not be guarded for long, and the only way was to Breaking through the siege, but breaking through is not easy. There were Gan Ning in front, and Wenpin generals in the back. Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses surrounded Moling tightly.

"Gongjin, it's great to see you back, hahahaha..." Sun Ce has been recovering from his injuries since he returned to Moling. Now his injuries have not stabilized, but they are much better than a few days ago, but he wants to Full recovery will take at least several months.

"Bo Fu, why are you here? Don't move around when your injury is still not healed." Zhou Yu knew that Sun Ce was seriously injured by Li Yuan. When he came back a few days ago, Sun Ce had been in a coma and had a high fever. Thanks to the doctor's timely treatment To save this life and spend the most dangerous moment.

"The enemy is approaching the city. You are discussing how to retreat from the enemy. As the lord, I can sleep at home. I want to discuss with you." After the siege, he didn't care about his injuries, and immediately ran to Zhou Yu to discuss.
