After the generals rushed to the road for half a day and the slightly tired soldiers were placed in the military camp in the city, I immediately gathered Wei Yan, Liao Hua, Lin Xue and others to discuss the next combat plan.

When Wei Yan was fooling to seize Moling, he captured Wu Jing, the prefect of Danyang who happened to come to inspect the city. This unexpected gain made me overjoyed. Originally, I was quite worried about how to pacify Danyang County as quickly as possible? - Although our army's attack has been quite smooth so far, we have successively conquered the Wuhu camp of the Jiangdong Passing River Army, and captured the Taiping and Moling cities! However, this series of victory was largely based on the enemy's inability to defend.

It can be imagined that if the news that our army had crossed the river and attacked was known to the defenders of Jiangdong counties, they would only need to defend the city to greatly slow down our attack! And this is exactly what I fear the most! If our army cannot capture one or two counties before Zhou Yu returns to the rescue, and then gain a foothold in Jiangdong, the possibility of all previous efforts being wasted this time of crossing the southward battle will be extremely difficult. At that time, not only will they miss a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but even nearly 10,000 soldiers from across the river will be buried in Jiangdong!

It is simply an unrealistic idea to not let our army cross the river go completely. The secret news can be kept secret for a while, but not for a lifetime. As our army's front line continues to lengthen, the possibility of the situation leaking out will become greater and greater. Therefore, if we can avoid the combat method of capturing and seizing each city and county, we can gather the defenders of each city and county and defeat it in one fell swoop, which is the most beneficial to our army.

Now, with Wu Jing's acquisition, the seal of the prefect of Danyang also fell into my hands, and an excellent opportunity to "determine Danyang with one battle" appeared!

Moling, conference hall

"If we can concentrate all the Jiangdong troops in all cities and counties under Danyang County outside Moling and defeat them in one fell swoop, our army will indeed be able to quickly pacify the entire Danyang county without any effort!" After hearing my words, Wei Yan nodded gently at first, but then he looked puzzled again. "But general, how can we mobilize all these Jiangdong troops to Moling City? They will not listen to us obediently!"

"Haha..." I curled my lips slightly and said with a smile: "How did Wen Chang know that they would not obey our orders?"

"Ah~?" Wei Yan exclaimed in surprise, then asked anxiously: "Is there any good way for the general?"

"Haha... Actually, I've already reminded you at the city gate just now. Will Wenchang come here yet?" I asked with a smile.

"Have you been reminded of me?" Wei Yan frowned and thought, then suddenly said: "Is the general talking about the seal? Is the general ready to use the county magistrate's seal to mobilize the Jiangdong army? But is this working?"

"No..." I shook my head slowly and said with a smile: "It's not that I want to mobilize the Jiangdong Army, but that 'Danyang Wu Prefect' wants to mobilize them!"

"Oh~!" After my reminder, Wei Yan finally realized it and said hurriedly: "So that's it. The general is preparing to mobilize the Jiangdong Army in the name of Wu Jing!"

"Not bad! Now that Wu Jing has been captured, his county magistrate's seal has fallen into our hands. We can use Wu Jing's name to issue emergency documents to all cities and counties in Danyang, ordering the garrisoned Jiangdong army to arrive at Moling as quickly as possible to "rescue". Our army can wait for it, set up an ambush in advance, and annihilate all the living forces of Danyang County in one fell swoop!" I nodded and said in a deep voice.

"General, what reason should I issue an emergency document?" Liao Hua asked.

"Hehe..." Wei Yan suddenly laughed and stroked his chin with his left hand twice, "I guess what the general means. We must use our crossing the river to attack Jiangdong as a reason to be anxious!"

"Not bad!" I smiled and confirmed Wei Yan's guess, "Wen Chang, you can go to the army to select more than 10 soldiers who are proficient in riding skills and are more reliable and meticulous to prepare to pass the "urgent documents" in various cities and counties!... Uh... By the way, these soldiers' hometowns are best in Tutang and Liyang (the next county in Lujiang County), and their accents are similar to those in Danyang!"

"Yes!" Wei Yan's eyes were filled with excitement, and he nodded quickly and responded.

"Yuan Jian, when Wu Jing was captured, there should be some civil servants accompanying him?" I turned to ask Liao Hua.

"Yeah!" Liao Hua nodded and replied, "There are indeed several. When Wu Jing was captured, the generals also caught them all. Are they all locked up now?"

"These people often accompany Wu Jing, and must be familiar with Wu Jing's handwriting. Maybe many documents were written by them! Yuan Jian, go and 'invited' these civil servants to come over. We will ask them to 'help' the 'emergency documents' to send to each city and county!" I said to Liao Hua in harmony.

"Yes, General!" Liao Hua replied with a smile, "I'll go and 'invite' them here!"

"General, I'll also choose the soldiers who are preparing to deliver the letter!" Wei Yan also stepped forward and said.

"Yeah! Go!"

On July 25, 2018, at noon, a horse of the "Jiangdong Army" rushed to the west gate of Nanxu City (Danyang County District). The soldiers guarding the city gate were about to stop him, but they saw the horse lifting a letter and shouting loudly: "Emergency military information, the prefect is in urgent need of documents!"

Hearing this, the guards did not dare to neglect and hurriedly made way...

In the conference hall of the county magistrate's office, Dong Xi, the Weiyue captain who stayed in Nanxu, listened to a commander under his command explaining the content of the "urgent document" - Dong Xi himself was not familiar with literature and writing, and the things like documents could only be read by his subordinates, and then he conveyed the meaning to him.

"What did you say? Liu Bei's army has crossed the Yangtze River and is attacking my Danyang County?" As soon as he heard the explanation of the captain, Dong Xi immediately frowned, and a scar on his neck became abrupt, and he asked in shock and angrily.

"Yes, that's exactly what the prefect said in the documents of the lieutenant!"

"How many troops did Liu Bei's army have? Where has it been attacked now? Did the prefect's document mention it?" Dong Xi asked anxiously.

"Sir, the document did not mention these. This document is quite short and seems to be written in a hurry. It seems that the situation is indeed very urgent!" The captain replied cautiously.

"Take the documents and let me see!" Dong Xi suddenly thought of something and said in a deep voice.

Hearing the sound, the commander hurriedly handed over the silk book. After taking the document, Dong Xi directly moved his eyes to the last seal of the silk book. After carefully observing the graphics of the seal book for a while, Dong Xi nodded slightly.

"Yeah!" Dong Xi turned his head and asked loudly to the soldiers who were kneeling in the hall: "Where has Liu Bei's army attacked when you are coming?"

"You reported to the lieutenant, the villain is not sure about the specific situation, but the enemy seems to be not far from Moling!" Chuanxin's soldier replied respectfully.

"Huh~~!" Dong Xi breathed lightly and said with a slow expression: "So, Liu Bei's army has not yet attacked Moling, so the prefect is still safe. There are 23,000 soldiers stationed in Moling City, and it should be able to withstand the reinforcements until the arrival of reinforcements."

"You guys, hurry up and order all the troops in Qicheng to gather at the west gate! Half an hour later, I personally lead the army to Moling for rescue!" Dong Xi knew that the rescue was like putting out a fire, and hesitated to the several commanders in the hall without hesitation.

"Get orders!" Several Jiangdong Army commanders immediately left.

"You get up first! By the way, has the prefect sent someone else to ask for trouble?" After arranging the military service, Dong Xi calmed down a little. Seeing that the soldiers of Chuanxin were still kneeling in the hall, he called him to stand up behind him, and asked again.

"Reported to the lieutenant, the prefect also sent someone to other places to get anxious. Before leaving, several brothers set off with the villain, but they took different paths!"

"Well~~! That's good! You can take a break and return to Moling immediately and report to the prefect, saying that I will strive to lead my army to Moling within four hours, please rest assured!" Dong Xi said to the Chuanxin soldier in a deep voice.

"Yes, the villain took his leave!"

At the same time, Liyang City, the conference hall

The Liyang garrison commander He Jing (the younger brother of He Qi, a famous general of Eastern Wu), shouted to his generals: "Now the military situation is urgent, the prefect is urgent to ask for help, so we must go. Go and order Qi's army and prepare to rush to Moling!"

"Get orders!"...

……………………

On the 25th day, at a time of ​​before, a fast horse rushed to Jurong...

On the 25th, at the Shen period, the generals of Jingxian County led their troops out of the city and headed straight for Moling...

……………………………

On the 25th, at the hour of You, the east gate tower of Moling City, under the evening breeze, the dark red "Sun"-shaped battle flag fluttered constantly in the wind. Teams of "Jiangdong Army" soldiers were also patrolling back and forth on the city tower...

What seems inconsistent with all this is that in Moling City, 23,000 Liu Bei soldiers were gathering near the city gate, waiting quietly for something...
