So fast? ! Chen Gong and Lu Bu looked at each other. They knew that Sun Ce's 100,000 troops were on display above the Yangtze River, but they didn't expect that Sun Ce's speed was so fast that Shucheng had already fallen!
"Is that so?!" Chen Gong turned pale in surprise, Shucheng is a big city in Lujiang, its scale is not smaller than Wancheng at all, and Shucheng's geographical location is very special, it is a hub connecting Jiangdong and the Central Plains. .
"Report! My lord, hurry up at 800 miles!" Another urgent letter was delivered to Lu Bu, "I lost the stone too?!"
Well now, Lu Bu's army's back road was completely blocked. They came from Huangzhou, which had already been occupied by the Jiangdong army. After passing through Huangzhou, it was still Jingzhou's territory, and it was impossible to get away.
Now Shucheng and Jiashi are also lost, so the road out of Lujiang is completely blocked.
"What's wrong with Chen Deng?!" Chen Gong held the urgent letter in his hand, Shucheng Jiashi, and Shiting Ke were all entrusted to Chen Deng by Lu Bu, and Chen Deng knew that he was very talented. , let alone only three cities, even if he was given one county, he could take care of it very well, but now the three cities have lost two cities.
"It's the Zhou family!" Lu Bu took the news and said with a serious face. It was the third urgent letter. This time it was no longer a lost city, but an urgent letter from the defenders of Shiting and Wuwei. The enemy army was found outside Shiting, and the banner above was Zhou.
Zhou Yu is still confronting the Jingzhou army in Jiangxia, and now the only ones who can use Zhou's banner are the Zhou family in Shucheng.
The 40,000 army really underestimated these gentry.
In this way, it is easy to explain why Chen Deng lost the city so quickly, two generals died in battle, and his own life and death are unknown. The city was not attacked from the outside, but from the inside.
Lu Bu originally planned to attack the Zhou family in the near future, but who would have thought that the Zhou family would be quicker to attack the two cities of Lu Bu.
"It's these gentry again!" Lu Bu's face was so cold that it could freeze, how can Lu Bu not be angry! This is the second time he was betrayed by the gentry. The last time he was betrayed by Chen Deng and his son in Xuzhou. This time Chen Deng surrendered, but he was betrayed by the Zhou family.
"Shiting can't be lost!" If Shu and Jiashi are easy to defend and difficult to attack, then Shiting is a key town, and its danger is no less than that of Hulao and Hangu.
If Shiting is lost again, Lu Bu's army will really become a turtle in the urn. The casualties in the storm are too great, and there is no way to retreat.
Lu Bu's face darkened, "Pass on my military order and let Zhang Liaogao meet me quickly!"
After a while, Zhang Liao, Gaoshun and others arrived in the meeting hall of Wancheng.
"Zhang Liao, you can't go wrong with taking the Bingzhou wolf cavalry to help Shiting!" There is also a long distance from Wancheng to Shiting, and the only one who can get there in one day is the Bingzhou wolf cavalry.
"Gao Shun, after you lead the trapped camp to follow the Bingzhou wolf rider, the Zhou family, I don't want to see him appear in Shucheng again!" Lu Bu became ruthless. It is not enough to destroy one Chen family, and he wants to watch himself destroy another The Zhou family, right? Then you just watch carefully.
"Yes!" The two took the order and left. .
"Let Zang Ba's Taishan Army stand by, and go to Wuwei with me." Wuwei is next to Xianxi Ferry. If Sun Ce goes here to land, the consequences will be disastrous.
The entire Wancheng army was mobilized, and the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was the first to leave Wancheng, followed by the trapped camp, and the Taishan Army only became an army, but under the command of Zang Ba, it was already a rare battle. strength.
Naturally, Lu Bujun's actions could not be concealed from the large and small gentry in Wancheng.
As Zhou Yi's eldest son, Zhou Cheng has always been in Wancheng, paying attention to the movements of Lu Bujun and listening to his subordinates' reports to Lu Bujun.
"The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry has left! The trapped camp has also set off, and even Lu Bu himself has stepped out?!" Zhou Cheng drew on the rice paper.
"It's time for the young master to come to us!" asked a figure who looked like a general next to him.
"No hurry, no hurry!" Zhou Cheng shook his head. Although he is Zhou Yi's son, he is about the same age as Zhou Yu. He has heard about Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin since he was a child. His grandfather said so, and his father That is to say, no one has seen his achievements of Zhou Cheng, let this world hear the name of Zhou Cheng today.
His purpose is to occupy this city from the inside out, this Lujiang government, this hub that can communicate with Jiangdong and the Central Plains.
His father was already in Shiting, Wuwei successfully attracted the attention of Lu Bujun, and all he had to do was to take down Wancheng when Lu Bujun was dispatched.
Zhou Cheng was very cautious. Lu Bu's dispatch did not mean that they left. If they came back halfway, then everything would be over.
One day passed, two days passed.
"Young master, the young master's big event is not good! Lu Bu's army's Bingzhou wolf rode outside the stone pavilion and defeated the Patriarch's army. The Patriarch is shrinking and fleeing towards Shucheng!"
"What about Wuwei?!" Zhou Cheng frowned, but he didn't have any big reaction.
"The same is true for Wuwei. Lu Bu and Lv Fengxian rushed to the battle with three thousand pieces and killed Zhou Kang!" Zhou Kang was a general of the Zhou family. It was only when Zhou Yi gave him an important position to threaten Wuwei, and now that Zhou Kang is dead, Wuwei's troops are retreating towards Xianxi.
"Okay!" Zhou Cheng stood up and shouted "Hello", not only did he not have the worry and anger of being defeated, but his face flushed with excitement.
"It's time for us to play!" Zhou Cheng walked out of the room.
It's already summer, and the temperature is getting higher and higher. It's hard for people to bear the sun, let alone wear that armor.
"It's so hot! If it goes on like this, who can bear it!" a soldier of Lu Bu's army in armor complained.
"I can't bear it at all! You southerners are really spoiled!" Another soldier snorted coldly. The soldiers guarding the city of Wancheng include Xuzhou soldiers and horses, soldiers summoned from the local area of Wancheng, and the former Bingzhou Army. The old people who have been following Lu Bu, they are either old or have injuries and can no longer keep up with the rhythm of the original part. For example, Bingzhou Wolf Rider and Trapped Camp are all rather short, and if they can't keep up, they will be kicked Come out. Of course, it is not for you to leave the Lu Bu army, but for some city defense soldiers in the second-line army to give you a promotion.
The veteran in front of him was one of the former Bingzhou Wolf Riders. He lost an arm in the Battle of Kaiyang. He should have been given a bounty by Lu Bu to support his retirement, but he was unwilling, so he went to the city gate to be fooled. He captured a city gate military marquis.
Because he is old enough, everyone calls him Old Wutou.
"I think back then!" Old Wutou is about to start a long speech again, it's all about his experiences back then, it's okay to listen to it once or twice, and it's also fresh after listening to it three or four times, but if you talk seven or eight times a day, it's three hundred and sixty a year. On the fifth day, as long as there is old Wutou, you can hear the story of old Wutou, and even the most patient people will feel tired.
"Okay, okay! Old Wu, you have the most credit" Another military marquis said haha, he was assigned to the city defense in Chen Deng's Guangling army, and he has not experienced so much.
"Old Wu, I'll find a place to rest first, and I'll replace you later!" Junhou Han said, wiping the sweat off his head.
"My lord told us that our duty is to guard the city wall. How can we rest without changing shifts!" Old Wu Tou wanted to dissuade him, but Junhou Han waved his hand.
"What are you worried about! Although Sun Ce's army is coming, why are you afraid of the Lord's Bingzhou wolf cavalry and trapped camp! Isn't the Bingzhou wolf cavalry and trapped camp not enough to defend against the enemy!" The military surnamed Han praised Bingzhou They all know that wolf riding and falling into the camp are the weakness of the old Wutou. As long as you praise the state army, the old Wutou will be very talkative.
"That's what it says but!"
"Nothing but! I'm just looking for a shady place and not going down the city wall. I'll be here in a while!" Said the military surname Han and left, followed by some of his soldiers.
"Just for a while!" Old Wutou shouted from behind.
"Got it, got it!" Old Wu was famous for his long-windedness, and the military surname Han shook his head helplessly.
"Ah! This is life!" I found a shady place without direct sunlight, and I can sit on the ground without standing for a long time. It feels so good.
Feeling comfortable, Junhou Han surnamed fell asleep unconsciously. (To be continued.)
