Summoning the world to be one

Chapter 38
Chapter 38: The Kingdom of Wu Attacks
Cai Mao surrendered, Xiangyang fell without a fight, and successfully incorporated [-] Jing troops, which brought the number of soldiers and horses under Yue Fei to [-]. Another letter was revised and sent to Huang Tong, who was recovering Jiangxia, and asked him to change his banner and surrender to Deng.

Yue Fei rested in Xiangyang for a whole day, so he planned to continue to lead his troops south to Jiangling. He also sent Deng Ai to attack Zhonglu, Bixian, Yicheng, Linju, Dangyang and other places to clear the periphery of Jiangling. He also sent Ma Chao as the vanguard to go forward. To attack Yiling, Zhijiang and other places.

But when Yue Fei was about to send troops, Jiang Xia and Huang Tong sent a distress letter, saying that Wu Guo sent troops to Jiangxia to destroy the two cities of Xiazhi and Qichun. Gather all the soldiers and horses in Jiangxia, go to E County to garrison, and at the same time send people to Xiangyang for help.

The sudden attack of Wu State disrupted Yue Fei's plan. In fact, before the war, Deng Guo sent people to Pengcheng to ask Chu State to send troops to contain Wu State. Going south to Jiujiang, he made a gesture of attacking Lujiang, which successfully attracted the attention of Wu. Wu feared that Chu would suddenly attack, so he sent Zhou Kai to command an army of 15 to confront the Chu army. However, Wu is a big country after all. There are more than 30 soldiers and horses. Although Lujiang restrained Zhou Kai, the No.1 general of Wu State, and [-] elite Wu troops, Wu State resolutely sent another famous general, Lu Ao, with [-] troops to attack Jiangxia. When Deng Guo destroyed Jing, he took Jiang Xia.

In the city of Xiangyang, Yue Fei frowned. The sudden attack of the State of Wu caught him off guard. Jiang Erxia came to fight for Nanjun, so seizing Jiangling is the most important thing, but Jiangxia can't ignore it, Jiangxia is the eastern gateway of Nanyang and Nanjun, if it is occupied by Wu, then Nanyang and Nanjun will never have peace , so Jiang Xia must not fall into the hands of Wu Guo, the only way to do it now is to divide the troops.

Yue Fei ordered Deng Ai and Pang De to lead [-] soldiers to Liqiu to join Yang Yanzhao's troops. With Yang Yanzhao as the main general, he led [-] soldiers and horses to reinforce E County.

At the same time, immediately dispatch troops to the south, to take Jiangling as quickly as possible, and then send troops to Jiangxia to repel the Wu army.

"Huang Tong, the four major families in Jiangling have been slaughtered by the Jing royal family. Why do you guard Jiangxia? My king has something to say, as long as you can surrender, you will be able to get riches and wealth at your fingertips." The emperor sent messengers outside the city to persuade him to surrender, but Huang Tong remained unmoved for several days.

In E County, Huang Tong looked at the Wu army under the city with a solemn expression. In the battle of Liqiu, Jiangxia lost [-] soldiers and horses. As a result, there are only [-] soldiers and horses left in Jiangxia. Since the Wu army invaded, Huang Tong He led [-] troops to E County to garrison, and at the same time sent people to Xiangyang to ask for help from Cai Mao. In fact, to ask Cai Mao was to ask Yue Fei for help. In the hands of Yue Fei, he can only inform Yue Fei through Cai Mao.

Since coming to E County, Wu Jun has been persevering in shouting at the city every day to persuade him to surrender. Huang Tong told the truth, it would be a lie not to be tempted. After all, in terms of strength, Wu State is much stronger than Deng State. Surrendering Wu State will be more stable , but he was not familiar with the place where he was born in Wu country, and he didn't have any acquaintances, but it was different here in Deng country. Jiangling is destined to fall into the hands of Deng Guo. Although all the members of the Huang family in Jiangling have been killed, who knows if there will be any fish that slip through the net. If he surrenders to Wu Guo, Deng will make things difficult for them , It was also these thoughts that made Huang Tong reject Wu's conditions again and again, and defend E County stubbornly.

Wu Jun's camp, today is the fifth day since Wu Jun came to E County, they have sent people to persuade Huang Tong to surrender for five consecutive days, but Huang Tong is still unmoved, which makes Wu Jun soldiers a little impatient .

General Pan Qing of the Wu Army said to Lu Ao: "General, this Huang Tong doesn't know what is good or bad, or let the last general lead the troops to attack the city and take down E County." However, they were all rejected by Lu Ao, and this time without accident, Lu Ao still refused.

Lu Ao shook his head and said, "Huang Tong, as the cavalry general of Jing State, has guarded Jiangxia for many years and has great prestige in Jiangxia. If he can persuade Huang Tong to surrender, then the whole Jiangxia will be at his fingertips."

"But if things go on like this, I'm afraid Deng Jun will send troops here, which will only increase the number of variables." Pan Qing insisted unwillingly.

This was also what Lu Ao was worried about. On the one hand, he wanted Huang Tong to surrender so that he could take Jiang Xia lightly, but on the other hand, he was worried that Deng Jun would get news and send troops to come.

Lu Ao said: "Well, wait another two days. After two days, if Huang Tong does not open the city and surrender, we will attack the city." Lu Ao thought that even if Deng Jun knew that he had sent troops to Jiangxia and wanted to send troops, within two days I'm afraid he won't be able to come, but what Lu Ao doesn't know is that Huang Tong has already decided to surrender to Deng Guo. As early as after he led his troops into Jiangxia, Huang Tong sent the news to Xiangyang, and the reinforcements sent by Yue Fei also Not far from E County.

Thirty miles north of E County, a group of more than 2 soldiers and horses marched here. This is the army led by Yang Yanzhao. Ever since he learned that E County was still in Huang Tong's hands, Yang Yanzhao breathed a sigh of relief. Constantly dispatching scouts to investigate the situation in E County. After all, Huang Tong has too few soldiers and horses, and the combat effectiveness of the Jing army is very worrying. If Wu Guo attacks by force, I really don't know if Huang Tong can stop it. Yang Yanzhao also thinks about it. Now, if E County is really lost, then he will lead his troops to Zhu County. Fortunately, Wu Jun still has the intention of persuading Huang Tong to surrender, so he has not attacked the city, and E County is still in Huang Tong's hands.

The closer he was to E County, the more careful Yang Yanzhao was, expanding the scope of his scouts so that Wu Jun would not know that his army had arrived and directly attack by force.

Yang Yanzhao stopped when he was only five miles away from E County, and sent Deng Ai and Kuai Fou to E County first to inform Huang Tong and prepare for him.

Sure enough, whether Kuai was there or not, Huang Tong had no doubts about Deng Ai. When Yang Yanzhao came to the city of E County, Huang Tong directly opened the city gate and let Yang Yanzhao's troops enter the city.

"The general is in trouble." Early the next morning, Pan Qing hurried into Lu Ao's tent and said.

"Why are you so flustered?" Lu Ao had a bad premonition.

Pan Qingdao: "General, raise a banner with the word Yang on E County."

"Yang character banner? I haven't heard of any general surnamed Yang in Jingguo." Lu Ao was very confused. He knew the situation of the Jing army well, and he knew who the generals were. There was no general surnamed Yang. .

"General, I heard that there is a general named Yang Yanzhao in Deng Jun's army, and now he is General Deng Guoping Nan." At this time, Wu Jun's military adviser Lu Meng said.

"Deng Jun, is it true that Deng Jun has arrived? Pan Qing, set up soldiers and horses, and follow the general." Whether Deng Jun has arrived, you will know if you have a look, so Lu Ao took Pan Qing to Hubei. Under the county seat.

After coming to the city, Lu Ao saw a large banner with Yang character, and the soldiers on the top of the city were not wearing the uniforms of Jing Jun, but Lu Ao had never fought against Deng Jun, so it is not clear whether these soldiers were Deng Jun.

After Lu Ao explained to Pan Qing, Pan Qingce immediately stepped forward and shouted to the city: "Who is General Yang in the city? My General Lu is here to invite you."

"Hahaha, I'm the next Great Deng Pingnan General Yang Yanzhao, I met General Lu." Hearing that Lu Ao wanted to see him, Yang Yanzhao laughed loudly.

It was really Deng Jun who arrived, and Lu Ao's face suddenly became gloomy and ugly.

Lu Ao stepped forward and said, "It turned out to be General Yang, who has admired his name for a long time. I don't know why General Yang came to E County?"

Yang Yanzhao said: "General Lu doesn't know something. The King Jing's family is so mad that they slaughtered the family in Jiangling City. General Huang Tong understands the righteousness and wakes up. He decides to abandon the darkness and join the Great Deng. Now the whole county of Jiangxia is under my leadership. Deng's land, I don't know what General Lu's intentions are when he leads his troops here?"

After Lu Ao heard Yang Yanzhao's words, he was so angry. This Yang Yanzhao must have taken over most of Jiangxia's cities, and he just mentioned the whole county of Jiangxia. place, let yourself go quickly.

Lu Ao knew that it was meaningless to go on, and the arrival of Deng Jun made E County more indestructible, and it was even more difficult to take down E County, so after returning to the camp, Lu Ao took E County's The situation is sent to Wucheng, and the king of Wu is asked to make a decision.
