The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 874 Breaking into Moling
Zhuge Ke's hunch was actually correct.

Liu Chan was really excited for a while after receiving the good news from Deng Ai.When he calmed down, he immediately called all the senior generals to discuss.

Soon, everyone came to the conclusion that the uninterrupted siege of Moling City in the past three days has put a lot of pressure on the defenders and the hearts of the people in the city. .

Deng Ai's implementation of Liu Chan's previous strategy was very successful.Then it will be necessary for Liu Chan to continue to operate and use Deng Ai's hard-won achievements again.

Therefore, Liu Chan immediately ordered Xu Xiang to sort out Deng Ai's success reports, as well as the situation of the counties that Yu Jin conquered one after another, all of which were collected together.

In the middle of the night on the fourth day, all the archers in the Shu Han army were suddenly dispatched.Taking advantage of the cover of the night, they shot a large number of arrows into Moling City instead of the top of Moling City.

At the beginning, Zhuge Ke thought that the Shu Han army had really come to carry out a sneak attack at night.Since he had already strictly ordered the defenders to be on alert, the defenders responded extremely quickly, and the whole army immediately entered a state of combat readiness.

But when Zhuge Ke saw the enemy's arrows shooting over one after another, but all of them fell into the city, he suddenly felt very strange.Even if the level of archers in your Shu Han army is extremely poor, it is impossible for all the bows and arrows shot by all the personnel to deviate from the top of the city?

But soon, Zhuge Ke came to his senses, and couldn't help but exclaimed.He immediately ordered people to go to the city to find arrows for him to see.

But not long after Zhuge Ke's order was issued, the archers of the Shu Han army suddenly retreated to the rear.However, the follow-up siege troops of the Shuhan Army, which was originally nervous by the Jiangdong Army, did not see a trace of anyone at all.

Zhuge Ke felt in his heart that the situation seemed to be developing in the direction he expected.

When the arrows that fell in the city were delivered to Zhuge Ke, although Zhuge Ke was prepared in his heart, he still couldn't help sighing.Just as he had guessed just now, the long arrow was indeed tied with a strip of white cloth, with dense black spots on it, obviously because of the words written on it.

The reason why Zhuge Ke sighed at the long arrow was simply because of this method. The Shu Han army had used it many times before, and they all used this method to break the enemy's morale.However, they used this old method again against Moling City this time, and what they wanted was definitely not just to disintegrate the morale of the defenders, they might also completely disintegrate the morale of the people in the city.

Zhuge Ke took off the cloth strip on the long arrow, and after unfolding it to look at it, his eyes immediately widened.He could guess the intention of the information in his heart, but he never guessed that the news inside was so shocking.

Because the contents of the banner described two things in great detail: the first thing, the whole county of Kuaiji County voluntarily surrendered.In fact, even if there were still one or two county towns that continued to resist, they would have been wiped out by Deng Ai's army long ago.The head of their county magistrate is being sent to Liu Chan at this time.

The second thing is that Yu Jin's army has captured the two counties of Youquan and Haiyan at this time, and has now surrounded Lou County.In other words, the two most important counties in Jiangdong, except Piling Tuntian Xiaowei, are temporarily safe, and all areas have been occupied.

This is actually tantamount to announcing a message to all Jiangdong people: Sun's Soochow regime can be said to have been wiped out by the Shu Han army.

At this time, the residents of the city may have begun to know the news on the white cloth, that is, the soldiers of his army, and they may have begun to see it.

Of course, Zhuge Ke wanted to prevent the spread of the news, and wanted to pass on the order immediately to send his own army into the city to collect all the arrows shot into the city.But in fact, it seems that it has not seen much effect at all.Moling City is huge, and the situation in the city is extremely chaotic. Once the rumors are started, there is no way to extinguish them.

In addition, the morale of the army has shown an unstable situation.If he uses the army to collect the long arrows, it cannot guarantee that the soldiers will not peep.In the end, the news will continue to spread in the army.

Zhuge Ke fell into a dilemma again, and could only temporarily order that the defenders on the top of the city were not allowed to go down the city. It is now more important to keep the morale of the army.

Since this matter is of great importance, Zhuge Ke must inform Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong.Maybe they will have some solution.

So Zhuge Ke went down to the city immediately, got on his horse, and went to find Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong.

After the two of them read the content on the cloth, they could only sigh: "The one that should come has finally come. It's just that the unexpected time is always too fast, and we can't expect it!"

Seeing the disappointed expressions of the two power holders who shook their heads again and again, Zhuge Ke knew that the two of them were helpless about this.

Zhuge Ke couldn't help but anxiously said: "My lords, you should always think of a way to deal with this! Otherwise, what will happen to the only remaining Moling City?"

Zhang Zhao sighed, and said, "Then you can ask Sun Jing now."

Zhuge Ke was stunned by Zhang Zhao's answer. He gritted his teeth and said, "Sun... Jing!"

The reason why Zhuge Ke gritted his teeth was of course not against Sun Jing, who had nothing to do with this matter, but the two Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong in front of him.

Because from the moment Zhang Zhao told him to ask Sun Jing, Zhang Zhao made his own position clear, and he was about to let go of the matter.In other words, Zhang Zhao quit, and he was going to join the camp of the surrender faction.

Zhuge Ke's face suddenly turned iron blue in anger.Then he turned his head to look at Gu Yong, hoping that Gu Yong could still be a little bloody, and that he could do his best for Jiangdong's future.

But Gu Yong still stood by Zhang Zhao's side, and he no longer continued to play the role of a spectator.He also broke the silence and said: "Help me tell Shizi Zigao: things can't be done, time is no longer waiting for me, when you give up, you give up."

Gu Yong's words were even more cryptic, but he was telling Sun Deng that it was too late for everything, and it was time for you to give up your power.This is clearly telling Sun Deng that Sun Deng should also surrender to the Shu Han army!

Zhuge Ke snorted angrily, and said: "You two bosses want to do what you want, and I, Zhuge Ke, don't want to care about you anymore. But I must tell you clearly, as long as I, Zhuge Ke, still have breath, I will I will never surrender, and my descendant Sun Deng will never surrender!"

After Zhuge Ke finished speaking, he turned and left angrily.

But after Zhuge Ke walked out of the government office, he still had to go to Sun Jing to discuss things first, as Zhang Zhao said.And now indeed only Sun Jing can discuss matters with him. Zhuge Ke must work hard to win the support of the main combat faction to counter Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong who suddenly turned around.Because with the joining of Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong, the strength of the surrender faction skyrocketed overnight, and many of the officials would follow them and quickly change their positions.

After discussing for a long time, the two went to find Sun Deng together.When they told Sun Deng about the matter, Sun Deng was completely dumbfounded, and when he woke up after a long time, he began to cry loudly.
