The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 867
Lu Xun's desire to go out and turn the tide for Jiangdong seems to be doomed to come to naught for the time being.Because his letter was written to Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong, but it was sent to Zhang Zhao first.

Zhang Zhao is a person with a clear distinction between likes and dislikes, at least on the surface.Seeing that Lu Xun actually wrote him and Gu Yong a letter, he opened it and glanced casually.

In Lu Xun's letter, the words are indeed very earnest. Although the suggestions he put forward are definitely not comparable to those of Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong in terms of internal affairs, he also has self-knowledge, so he has very little inkling.On the contrary, many suggestions have been put forward in dealing with the coming Shuhan army.

But Zhang Zhao just read it hastily, and actually only read a little bit of the detailed content inside, and then he threw the letter away.As a result, the things that Lu Xun worked so hard to write could not reach Gu Yong's hands in the end.

What's more, Lu Xun didn't understand Zhang Zhao's thoughts at all.If you don't understand and still come here to make suggestions, isn't this just looking for people to hate you?And Lu Xun is the one he hates, and he is destined not to be welcomed by Zhang Zhao.

The things planned by Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong are still going on nervously.Gu Yong used his abilities and indeed persuaded most Jiangdong officials to change their attitudes and began to support Sun Deng in power.

But for the Sun clan, after Sun Jing completely let go and pulled away, the difficulty of persuading them immediately increased a lot.So much so that things that were relatively simple are now quite complicated.

As for the army, Zhuge Ke has not relaxed, and is gradually controlling the military power step by step.

But even the speed of action of these people can be regarded as very fast.But even though Liu Chan made the soldiers revel for three days, once they acted, the speed was even faster!
It took Gai Meng's cavalry a day to successfully capture Jiangcheng County, which is just below Moling City.At the same time, Zhou Cheng had already received orders from Liu Chan, and had already docked a large number of ships along the Yangtze River in Jiangcheng County.These ships were equipped with a lot of siege equipment.After Jiangcheng County was captured, they began to unload things ashore.

Since Jiangcheng County is only a few tens of miles away from Moling City, it became the best place to communicate with the Yangtze River waterway and obtain military supplies when the Shu Han army attacked Moling City.Therefore, in order to make better use of the convenient conditions here, Zhou Cheng's men also began to expand a series of wharves along the river in Jiangcheng County.

After taking Jiangcheng County, Gai Meng's troops did not go alone to provoke the defense forces of Moling City, but continued to stay in Jiangcheng County for defense.A day later, Liu Chan's army of tens of thousands finally entered Jiangcheng County in great strength and mightiness.

Liu Chan immediately ordered Gai Meng's cavalry to serve as the entire army, and marched to the base of Moling City to demonstrate against the enemy. Arrive at Moling City at the fastest speed and surround it.

And Liu Chan stayed in Jiangcheng County, and would rush to Moling City later, because he needed to stay in Jiangcheng County for at least one night.He needs to use this short time to communicate with Zhou Cheng about the naval affairs.

After all, the water army commanded by Zhou Cheng and Quan Cong had been out of his control for a long time.All the information he can get from his own side is just reports made by them.

It is really not easy to write a so-called report that is true and accurate.But if it is intentional to adulterate in the middle, it is absolutely absolutely easy.Therefore, Liu Chan must take some time to talk face-to-face with Zhou Cheng, and at the same time, he must also understand the current situation of the Jiangdong Army north of the Yangtze River.

After a long talk with Zhou Cheng, Liu Chan didn't find any problems, but Cao Wei's army led by Cao Ren had already begun to attack Lujiang County, so he felt a little relieved.

It should be said that Liu Chan is under pressure in the navy now, so he has to be more concerned about the situation in the navy.Because the navy is so important now, it is not only the only force that isolates the Jiangdong Army north of the Yangtze River from returning to Moling, but also the only force that occupies the Yangtze River waterway and protects the grain roads of the Shuhan Army's land forces.

After the two talked, Liu Chan suddenly remembered something.Zhou Cheng's hometown is in Xiacai County.Judging from the current situation, Cai County may soon fall into the hands of Cao Weijun.

Earlier, because of Zhou Cheng's betrayal, his family was affected, and even Zhou Tai's son fled to Jingzhou to find Zhou Cheng.Therefore, if the Shu Han army has to devote its main energy to stabilizing Jiangdong after successfully conquering Jiangdong's territory, I am afraid that there will be no extra power to counterattack Cao Wei's army and capture Lujiang County where Xiacai County is located. Jiujiang County to the east.

This is equivalent to saying that the Shu Han army must abide by the secret agreement to Cao Wei at that time, and take the initiative to give up the Jiangdong Army naval base in Lujiang County, Jiujiang County, and even Ruxukou to Cao Wei Army.

Of course, if Cao Wei's army obtained Ruxukou, they would be able to train a large number of naval forces there, which would pose a very great threat to the Jiangdong region in the future.

Therefore, the secret agreement between Shu Han and Cao Wei actually buried some unfavorable factors for Shu Han.Whether these unfavorable factors will detonate a big crisis in the future will depend on the wisdom and coping methods of the people in charge of Jiangdong.

Of course, Liu Chan would not tell Zhou Cheng what was in his heart, this would obviously cause trouble for Zhou Cheng.Immediately, he told Zhou Cheng some other things, and then suggested to Zhou Cheng that Zhou Tai's son, Zhou Shao, should not stay in Jingzhou, but could go to Yizhou to continue his studies at the National Academy of Medicine.In this way, you can also make some preparations for your future official career.

Hearing Liu Chan's suggestion, it can be seen that his heart is still towards the Zhou family, and he was moved again. Of course, he immediately agreed to write a letter to Zhou Shao after returning.

Liu Chan also said at the same time that he would write Zhou Shao a recommendation letter to the National Academy of Medicine so that he could enroll.

Early the next morning, Liu Chan broke up with Zhou Cheng.Under the protection of Zhao Feng and a surviving guard army, Liu Chan finally started to move quickly towards Moling City.

Because the speed was really fast enough, when the people on Liu Chan's side saw Shi Guangyuan and Meng Xi, it was actually just in the afternoon of the day.

At this time, the Shuhan army and Youtu's Shanyue army have tightly surrounded Moling City from all directions!
However, due to the large number of troops coming this time, and the fact that it is the cold winter season, the weather is already very cold, so it is impossible for the soldiers to rest at night as casually as in summer, but to set up in the camp. Lots of tents.Due to the huge number of tents, this project is still in progress.

Therefore, when Liu Chan arrived, what he saw in his eyes was not a complete camp, but a camp that was still under construction.As for the situation of the camps of the troops in other directions, I am afraid it is the same.

But these are only relatively minor issues, you can wait until night to check.Liu Chan is now more concerned about whether the Shu Han army has fought against the defenders of Moling City, and what happened to the battle.

Seeing Liu Chan's arrival, Shi Guangyuan didn't even care to catch his breath, so he directly wanted to ask about military affairs, smiled slightly, and said, "My lord, you should rest in the prepared camp first, how about we talk about it later?" Woolen cloth?"

Liu Chan smiled and said, "Then let's go and tell me, sir."

Seeing Liu Chan's persistence, Shi Guangyuan couldn't resist, so he agreed.Then, as the two of them walked towards the inside of the camp, Shi Guangyuan told Liu Chan about the situation.

When Gai Meng's army arrived, they did fight Zhuge Ke's troops who had left the city.But neither side was in love with the fight, they just retreated after a short confrontation.

With the arrival of the Shu Han army, the guards of Moling City were even more afraid to go out of the city to fight.Because Liu Chan and all kinds of siege equipment have not arrived on the side of the Shu Han army, they just besieged Moling City for the time being and did not fight.

While the two were talking, they had arrived at Liu Chan's tent, and Meng Xi was already waiting for Liu Chan's arrival inside.

The rapid arrival of Liu Chan's army, which far surpassed the defenders in Moling City, not only put a lot of pressure on Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong, and Zhuge Ke, but also completely disrupted their plan to appoint a new lord. plan.

This may be called man's calculation is not as good as heaven's calculation.

On the other hand, Quan Cong's men successfully landed in Qu'a Port, and fought several extremely fierce battles with Chen Biao's men one after another.Although Quan Cong's troops were all naval troops, they were far more successful than the opponent, so even in land battles, they gradually defeated Chen Biao's troops.

Such a situation finally forced the military officer Kan Ze to leave Chen Biao's troops and go alone to several major counties in Wu County to seek reinforcements.

But Quan Cong's attack was fierce.In desperation, Chen Biao had no choice but to withdraw all the remaining troops into Dantu City, which he wanted so much, to hold on.

Dantu City is an extremely desirable fortress, without a large number of siege equipment and enough time, it is impossible to take it down.Far beyond the defenders in Moling City, it not only put great pressure on Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong, and Zhuge Ke, but also completely disrupted their plan to appoint a new lord.
