The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 861 Moling Out of Control
Kan Ze's return to Moling City was delayed because of this, which made Lu Xun even more anxious.But suffering from the fact that he is now in prison, it is absolutely unrealistic to want to use his fists and feet to turn the tide for Jiangdong people again at this time.

Then, a big event happened that was enough to shake the people of Jiangdong all over the country.The army led by Zhang Zhao and Liu Ji to protect the rear of the lord Sun Quan was completely defeated by that goddamn Deng Ai.

This means that Sun Quan's men and horses have finally fallen into the encirclement of the Shu Han army.

This action of the Shu Han army was actually achieved through advancing layer by layer.They sent Deng Ai's troops to surround Danyang County and Wu County from near the Qiantang River, which is the narrowest and longest in the south.Then, it precisely cut off Sun Quan's rear in Wuhu and Liyang counties.If people at that time knew about surgery, it was a fairly successful tissue separation operation.

The Shu Han army successfully achieved this by passing through two encirclement circles.

Then, what they have to do next is to perform large-scale "surgery" on Sun Quan's army until they are finally completely cut off!It will definitely not be difficult for the Shu Han army to do it within a predictable time.

Having said that, Zhang Zhao himself fled back to Moling City with the few remaining troops.

But Liu Ji became a prisoner of the Shu Han army sadly, and received preferential treatment from Liu Chan.This was Liu Ji's first time leading an army to attack, but he suffered such a disastrous defeat. Maybe in the future he will know himself and know that he is not actually a talent in leading troops to fight.

When Zhang Zhao returned home, he looked extremely embarrassed, his well-dressed clothes were covered with dirt.His long beard, which he had always cherished so much, was gone. It must have been the case when Cao Cao was hunted down by Ma Chao, he cut off his beard in a hurry, or the beard had been burned by fire.Among them, the possibility of the latter case is relatively high.However, in this way, although the beauty and seriousness of the past were lost, it also made Zhang Zhao's whole person refreshed, and his whole person looked several years younger because of this.

But embarrassment is embarrassment.Zhang Zhao immediately took a bath and changed clothes, and he didn't dare to waste time to rest, but immediately asked his family to come to Gu Yong's mansion to discuss matters.The two immediately hid in Zhang Zhao's mansion and discussed intensely for a whole night.

Until the early morning of the next day, Zhang Zhao finally asked Gu Yong to go back first because his body was too much to bear, and he hurried to rest. Otherwise, the solution to the crisis had not been discussed yet. The bones are already falling apart.

Gu Yong left Zhang Zhao's mansion, but he didn't go home to rest just yet.He is now in charge of Jiangdong's government affairs, and Liu Zan is in such a critical situation, he is really worried about going home, for fear that there will be some chaos in Moling City, and it will really be easy for the enemy.

Gu Yong then got into his carriage and headed towards the government office.On the way, Gu Yong suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help feeling tense.

Gu Yong thought of his eldest son, Gu Shao.Gu Shao is still under house arrest because of going out with Sun Shangxiang earlier.But when Gu Yong thinks back now, his own thoughts and actions at that time were too selfish. Obviously, he was gambling with the lives of his son and daughter-in-law tied to Jiang Dong's final fate.

But the facts seemed to prove that Gu Yong was wrong this time, and the Shu Han army might soon come down to Moling City.Once Moling City fell, would the lives of Gu Shao and Sun Shangxiang be guaranteed?Moreover, whether Gu Shao's matter will affect their Gu family because of this is actually the first thing to be considered!

Gu Yong is the top leader in handling internal affairs, no matter how complicated things are, he can't be troubled, but the current situation cannot be changed by manpower.Gu Yong couldn't help sighing, if Gu Shao and Sun Shangxiang were to escape from Moling City at this time, they would have nowhere to escape.

As for Gu Yong's affairs related to Gu Shao, whether it was due to the affairs of the country or the worry that his family might be implicated, Gu Yong's mood at this time was extremely complicated, which also prompted him At this time, his position on the Shu Han army became tougher.Of course, such a change caused Gu Yong, who had always praised Zhang Zhao, to have a disagreement with Zhang Zhao's more ambiguous position.

That's why, that night, an unprecedented heated argument broke out between Gu Yonghui and Zhang Zhao.Their voices were really loud, and everyone in Zhang Zhao's family felt extremely nervous listening to them. After all, this was something that had never happened before.Zhang Zhao is famous for his hot temper, but Gu Yong is also famous for his good temper.Putting together such two people who are rigid and soft, they can indeed become two people who are both rigid and soft.

But this time is different. Everyone knows that the matter may be really big, and the situation has deteriorated extremely.

The news of Zhang Zhao's return to Moling must no longer be concealed, because the impact of this incident was too great, and the last hope that Moling City would not be surrounded by the Shu Han army was lost.The news first spread from Zhang Zhao's home. After all, the argument between Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong that night was so loud that everyone in the Zhang family heard it.

These news first spread among the rich and powerful circles in Moling City, and then spread to the ears of ordinary people.In particular, the debate between Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong was interpreted miraculously, as if a fierce quarrel broke out between the two, and then the two parties broke up unhappy, and the relationship almost turned into a quarrel. broke.

For a while, the morale of the army and the hearts of the people in Moling City became extremely fluctuating.

These news were quickly reported to Gu Yong.Gu Yong couldn't help but secretly sighed in his heart: "It's true that heaven cannot be deceived, nor can people's hearts be deceived!"

Gu Yong is indeed a man of high stature, and he doesn't even look at who his mentor is: Cai Yong, a great scholar of a generation!

Facing the current rumors and rumors, people were stunned and did not lament: Three people make a tiger or one word makes money.

Such a height also determines that Gu Yong's next actions will be fast and steady.He realized that such rumors would definitely have a great impact, but it was also difficult to eliminate them all at once.Therefore, he first issued the Moling Order and dispatched manpower to take turns in the city during the day and night to maintain law and order.

Secondly, Gu Yong is even more aware that such rumors will deal a fatal blow to Jiangdong's political situation at this time.Therefore, he must explain the inside story to the officials in Jiangdong as soon as possible, so as to appease the hearts of the officials.As long as the officials' hearts are preserved first, the hearts of the people will not become a fatal problem.

Therefore, the first thing Gu Yong has to do next, besides convincing Zhang Zhao, is to get the support of two people in Moling City:
The first person is Sun Jiao's father, Sun Jing.Gu Yong needs to get the support of the Sun family through Sun Jing's relationship.Even if something unexpected happens to the lord Sun Quan in the future, he and the Sun family can take immediate measures to deal with it.This is extremely important, and it is related to Jiangdong's future fate.

The second person is serious.Although this person is a typical scholar, he is a hardliner and a fighter. He has always been the backbone of Kan Ze's camp.With the absence of Kan Ze in Moling City, the importance of this person gradually became apparent, and he even got the support of some middle- and lower-level military officers.

Gu Yong's consideration is very appropriate, showing that this person is really a prime minister.If he could really deal with the above three people in the shortest possible time, then the disputes in Moling City and the situation that had become very unstable should be eased.

It was even enough for Gu Yong to rise above the current high position again, completely surpassing Zhang Zhao, and becoming the No. 1 officialdom in Jiangdong.After defeating the Shu Han army in the future, no matter who among the Sun clan becomes emperor, the position of prime minister will undoubtedly be in Gu Yong's pocket!

Of course, it's too early to think about this now, and it's impossible for Gu Yong himself to think so far, so let's settle the matter at hand first.

Therefore, Gu Yong immediately began to carry out various reserve matters.

Because of the long-distance escape, Zhang Zhao was extremely tired because of the fear and fear along the way, so he rarely slept very deeply. Seeing that the time had come to dusk, when the sun was setting.

Seeing Zhang Zhao sleeping so soundly, the family didn't dare to disturb him, and wanted to let him sleep for a while.

However, on this day, when Moling City had just experienced a major disturbance, an even more earth-shattering event was destined to occur that night.

Zhuge Ke also returned to Moling City in a panic with more than 1000 remnants and defeated generals.

The event of Zhuge Ke's return from defeat will bring even greater shock to the Jiangdong regime, and it will hit the already very fragile morale of the army and the people again.

Because the matter is very simple, Zhuge Ke is a general who fought with Sun Quan's army.He fled back by himself, but the lord Sun Quan did not.

What's more, what Zhuge Ke brought back was the news that the lord Sun Quan might have died!

Since then, the situation in Moling City has finally begun to get out of control.Even Gu Yong can no longer control it.The remnants were defeated and returned to Moling City in a state of embarrassment.

The event of Zhuge Ke's return from defeat will bring even greater shock to the Jiangdong regime, and it will hit the already very fragile morale of the army and the people again.

Since then, the situation in Moling City has finally begun to get out of control.Even Gu Yong can no longer control it.
