Chapter six hundred and seventy seventh kill(1/2)
Of course, the armor and weapons that our classmate Liu Mang gave Sun Ce naturally would not be the latest weapons in Yangzhou. All of these armors and weapons were eliminated by the Yangzhou army. They were placed in the treasury and were originally intended to melt and build agricultural tools. Now, seeing that Sun Ce wanted to help him take down Jiangdong, ±w. So he packed them together to send them to Sun Ce.
That's true for Sun Ce, it was his brother-in-law's full trust in him. The Yangzhou Army looked down on tens of thousands of armor, but the Jiangdong Army looked down on him. They all wore armor and stomachs on their bodies and were full of joy. As well as those weapons and military rations, Sun Ce simply expanded his army by 20,000.
Jiangdong is worthy of being a place where elite soldiers are produced. After a little training of 50,000 high-end outfits, they are all elite soldiers. They are not as afraid of blood in other places. In the daily fighting, it is natural that blood is common. After a little training of 50,000 troops, Sun Ce was ready to send troops to Kuaiji.
"What's the matter with my eldest brother expanding his army by 20,000?" In Kuaiji, Sun Quan listened to the report of his spies.
"Yes, lord, no, that lord, that lord, he expanded his army by 20,000." The spy was still not used to coming here, and subconsciously called Sun Ce the lord.
"Another expanding the army is 20,000, plus the original 30,000 soldiers and horses is 50,000. What should I do?" Sun Quan was a little anxious. Their troops were originally not Sun Ce's opponents. If they hadn't caught Sun Ce off guard and had a city wall, they were the defensive side, and they might have been destroyed by Sun Ce long ago. Now Sun Ce has expanded the army by 20,000, which would have been 50,000 soldiers.
There are really few people who know the soldiers in Sun Quan's hands. None of the generals were willing to rebel with Sun Quan. After all, Sun Ce had a life-and-death relationship with them in war.
"Why should you panic? If you expand your army, just expand your army. His expansion shows his true and falsehood. He is already afraid, or he can't hold on anymore." Zhang Zhao next to him said to Sun Quan. They don't know how much Sun Ce has. To put it nicely, they insist on 30,000 soldiers and horses are all frugal. If there is Jiangdong, they can support so many people, but now there is only Jianye City left. Isn't it asking for death? This shows that Sun Ce can no longer bear it.
"As long as the lord guards the city strictly, it will take a year or two. I think Sun Ce will be defeated by himself." Zhang Zhao had a good idea. Sun Ce lacked food and grass, and now he is still in a military expansion. He wants to see what Sun Ce can use to support them. Without Sun Quan's troops, Sun Ce could not hold on for a year or two.
"Mr. Zhang Zhao's words are reasonable," Sun Quan felt at ease after listening to Zhang Zhao's words.
"No, no, then, Wu Hou has!" The spy next to him looked at Sun Quan and others' peace of mind. When he was about to say something, a civil servant ran in there.
"Lord. Lord, it's not good, it's not good! Wu Hou and Wu Hou issued a manifesto." The civil servant shouted to Sun Quan above.
"What's wrong? You have lost your etiquette. Someone came to drag me out and blame me for a cane." Sun Quan was angry. This civil servant could not speak. What does it mean to be a bad master?
"Yes!" The guards on both sides immediately stepped forward and set up the irritable civil servant.
"Lord, I'm wronged, I'm wronged, a manifesto, an express." The civil servant there was still shouting loudly.
The manifesto fell on the ground, Zuo Li stepped forward and picked him up. When he saw this, his hand trembled, "Lord, lord, Wu Hou, Wu Hou, he, he!"
Zuo Li couldn't say it, so he taught the manifesto to Sun Quan.
When Sun Quan saw it, he suddenly threw it on the ground. "Sun Ce, Sun Bofu, you bully people too much, I will definitely kill your whole family." Sun Quan was so embarrassed that Sun Ce's whole family also included himself.
It turned out that Sun Ce poured the dirty water from Tucun Village in Jiangdong on Sun Quan. Not only that, the manifesto still had the tone of the elder brother teaching his younger brother a lesson. He did not take Sun Quan, the new leader of Jiangdong, seriously, and said that he would tie Sun Quan to his father's grave to repent.
"Lord, Sun Ce has ulterior motives." Zhang Zhao frowned, and mentioned above that he was also mentioned, and his treatment was naturally a killing. Sun Ce put the dirty water ramp that slaughtered the village on Sun Quan, which would make Sun Quan lose the people's hearts. Although Sun Quan occupied most of Jiangdong, many places were obedient and not listened to the news. They were all watching who could gain the upper hand and then decide who to surrender to whom. Now that such a basin of dirty water was poured on his body, it would be a blow to the people's hearts under his command, and even hit morale.
"Didn't it mean the Yangzhou army who massacred the village?" One person spoke. This person was a powerful strategist under Sun Quan and Mr. Yang Kui, the prefect of Qua, who was awarded by Sun Quan. "Wu Hou did this, isn't he afraid that the Yangzhou army would take advantage of the situation to march into Jiangdong? In this way, Wu Hou was really attacked from both sides.
"Lord, lord, then, the Yangzhou army, gave it to Wu Hou, and sent military rations and weapons." The spy who was already trembling and interrupted continued to speak.
"What!" Now everyone under Sun Quan's command was completely stunned. He was thinking that Sun Ce was trying to die before, and expanded his army by 50,000. As long as he delayed the time, Sun Ce would collapse sooner or later. But now it seems that something is completely wrong. The Yangzhou army actually sent Sun Ce rations and weapons. Is Shu King Liu Mang crazy?
"Wu Hou, Wu Hou has changed the flag." The spy continued to say that Sun Ce's troops were red-robed, and the flags they were all equipped with Sun or Jiangdong. Now they have all been replaced with black flags and become Yangzhou.
Sun Ce surrendered to Yangzhou? The Yangzhou army was about to land in Jiangdong? The gentry men around Sun Quan were completely panicked. If it were just Sun Ce, they would go back. It doesn’t matter if it was a big deal. But with Yangzhou, how could this battle be fought? Even if the entire Jiangdong united, Yangzhou would not be the opponent. Now that Jiangdong is divided, fighting with Yangzhou is not a logarithmic.
"Impossible, Impossible, how could my eldest brother surrender to Yangzhou? Didn't he hate Liu Mang? Liu Mang had a grudge against him for taking his wife, how could he surrender?" Sun Quan said incoherently.
"This is all fake. It is fake." Sun Quan shouted loudly. The gentry next to him began to feel guilty. They were thinking whether it was true that they joined Sun Quan's army. "Tell me, this is fake, this is fake!" Sun Quan rushed down the main position and grabbed the spy's neck and picked it up. Sun Quan's Bazhao's body was still very strong.
"Lord, I saw those ships from Yangzhou to Jiangdong with my own eyes!" The spy said a little nervously.
"No, these are all fakes. You see them, they are all fakes. Say. You see them. They are fakes." Sun Quan directly pulled out his long sword and put them on the spy's neck. With a light stroke, the blood had already come out. If it deepened a little more, it would be a life.
"Lord, lord, I, me!" The spy was at a loss and didn't know what to say. If it was false, it was a lie about military affairs and a death sentence. If it was true, then it was really possible to kill him, depending on Sun Quan's appearance.
"Zhongmou. Zhongmou, calm down, calm down!" Zhang Zhao suddenly shouted Sun Quan and hoped Sun Quan would calm down. He went forward and took away the long sword from Sun Quan's hand.
"What you see is what you see with your own eyes? What you hear is what you hear with your own ears?" Zhang Zhao asked the spy.
"Yes, yes! I have seen all the military advisors with my own eyes. Many, many big ships came from Yangzhou, and the original red flag of Wu Hou also changed." Everyone knew that Sun Ce might have really surrendered Liu Mang, the King of Shu in Yangzhou.
"Brother, Jiangdong Little Overlord, haha, Jiangdong Little Tortoise is almost the same. I said, you are not suitable to be the Lord of Jiangdong, not suitable!" Sun Quan roared loudly.
How can I fight this? One Sun Ce is difficult to deal with, and the other one is Yangzhou. A group of gentry are thinking about their retreat. Or just surrender to Yangzhou. Even Sun Ce has surrendered, right?
Zhang Zhao looked at the people below and naturally knew what the fence-bearing gangsters were thinking. He couldn't help but snorted coldly, "Hmph, why, are you all thinking about how to surrender to the King of Shu Liu Mang?"
After Zhang Zhaozhong said this and Zhang Zhao's cold eyes, they waved their hands repeatedly to express their fear of not daring.
"Haha, don't dare? I think you are eager to do this. If you want to surrender to the King of Shu Liu Mang, I, Zhang, stand here and stop you. Go, I want to see how long you can survive without the ten thousand acres of fertile land and without the filial integrity." Zhang Zhao said sneered.
After Zhang Zhao said this, everyone calmed down a lot. Yes! What land did Liu Mang, the King of Shu in Yangzhou, implement and belonged to the government and could not be traded. Most of the money of these gentry members is on the land. If you collect these 10,000 acres of fertile land for me, wouldn’t it cost me my life? This is not the key. The key is that Liu Mang played a conscript system and had talent to enter the gentry house. Only after assessment can he become an official. Isn’t this the idea of these gentry monopolizing officials?
Originally, the officials were all officials of the gentry. As long as you were a child of the gentry, even if you were a crooked person, you could still be a high-ranking official. For example, if Zuo Li Zuo’s family died, the position of this prefect could not be given to his son Zuo Jie. Even if you can’t give a prefect, at least one lieutenant would not be able to escape. It can be said that the gentry had taken over officials of all sizes. The top ranks, no poor and low ranks, no gentry, and you would be finished when Liu Mang came. If I had talent, it would be fine. Wu Cai would be beaten into a commoner and ordinary person directly. You have also taken my land. With an official and no land, you can eat and drink whatever you want.
So Shu King Liu Mang was the enemy of the gentry. After Zhang Zhao said this, his eyes turned red, "Zhang Gong, we will never surrender."
"Mr. Zhang, let's listen to you!"
"Yes, Mr. Zhang asked us to do this! He will fight with Liu Mang, Yangzhou to the end."
Haha, Zhang Zhao looked at the loyal gentry men with a sneer in his heart.
"This method is not without it, but you need all your help." A hint of madness appeared in Zhang Zhao's eyes.
"Mr. Zhang can speak as much as possible, and we will do it for the recruitment office."
"Okay, that's all I want! No matter how many soldiers and horses in Yangzhou are, no matter how much money he has, I, Zhang Zhao, believe that he can be more than the people in Jiangdong in the whole of Jiangdong." Zhang Zhao was crazy. "All cities closed the city gates, blocked my city, collected all the food and grass, and gathered all the people in the city. I want to see how His Royal Highness, the King of Shu in Yangzhou and our Marquis of Wu, came to break through our city." Zhang Zhao was crazy. He actually played the same strategy as Liu Bei. Liu Bei asked if he was playing this strategy, it was because Liu Bei was not in the city. Now Zhang Zhao was different. He actually wanted to play this method in the city. This was a kind of burning jade and stones. If you have the kindness, Liu Mang would attack the city. I drove the people to the city wall. I want to see how many people you Liu Mang had come to pile up.
"Just do it like this!" Sun Quan was also crazy. Unless Liu Mang wanted to fight Sun Quan completely in Kuaiji City, he would have to retreat. You should know that when Yuan Shao's army besieged Gongsun Zan for three years, he was finally captured from the inside. Now Yangzhou has given so many three years.
"Zuo Taishou, I will teach you the East Gate of Kuaiji!"
"General Hao and General Cheng, Nanmen and Ximen teach you!" Zhang Zhao said to everyone, "I will guard this north gate myself." Zhang Zhao went crazy.
"Yes!" The entire Kuaiji was moving, the city walls were slowly strengthening, and the people outside the city were driven to the city gate no matter whether you were willing or not. All the unripe seedlings outside the city were lit. They wanted Yili grain and no thread left for the enemy.
Yang Kui looked at the busyness of the people below and didn't know what he was thinking.
...
"Strange!" On the official road of Kuaiji, Lu Meng commanded the army, and it became stranger as he walked, because Lu Meng did not see a living person along the way, and those villages were all deserted. What was the situation?
"Brother Lu, why should I worry too much? These people may know that there will be wars, so they will hide themselves." Ling Chao said boredly. People avoid wars. This is because of nature. No fool will go to the battlefield.
Those who knew that Kuaiji was going to become a battlefield, naturally people sought profits and avoided harm and left Kuaiji.
"Is that?" Lu Meng frowned. He still felt something was wrong. If this was the case, why did there be traces of people's lives in those villages, and many things were not taken away. The people here did not leave him, but instead looked like they were forced to leave! That was the way they were forced to leave.
"Brother, brother, look over there, it's on fire." Ling Chao suddenly pointed in one direction and shouted at Lu Meng.
"It's on fire?" Lu Meng looked in Ling Chao's direction and found that the fire rose there.
"Follow me in the guard camp." Lu Meng slapped his horse and headed towards the fire.
"Yes!" The dozens of cavalry behind him followed Lu Meng, waiting for Lu Meng to arrive at the place before he saw that the fire was not the forest, but the fields, and the green seedlings were still on the fields, and they were directly lit by the fire. These were all food. If these were burned, what would the people take to eat next year?
Lu Meng was about to order his subordinates to prepare to put out the fire, but Ling Chao pointed at "Brother, there are people over there." Only then did Lu Meng see several people wearing armor coming out of the fire, all holding torches in their hands.
These fires were ignited by man? Lu Meng's face darkened, "Catch them for me!"
"Yes!" Ling Chao rushed over with the lead, followed by more than a dozen Lu Meng's personal soldiers.
"The Yangzhou Army is here, run quickly!" The seven or eight ignition soldiers shouted and were about to run away, but how could this person run past the war horse? Except for Ling Chao who killed another one, all the others were caught by Ling Chao.
Lu Meng learned from these individuals that these young seedlings were not spontaneously ignited, but were artificially lit by them, and the person who ordered them was neither others nor the second young master in Kuaiji City.
"Damn it." Lu Meng said hatefully. Lu Meng was a poor family. He spontaneously knew what these young seedlings mean to ordinary people. This represents food for the coming year and life. If you lit this fire for him, what will the people eat and live next year.
"Where are those people!" Lu Meng asked.
"The people were all brought back to Kuaiji City to the lord!" Several soldiers replied honestly, because some of them had served under Lu Meng's command.
"What do you want to drive the people to the city?" Lu Meng frowned and thought.
"Brother, these people?" Ling Chao asked Lu Meng, and as Ling Chao said that they all killed each of them with one knife.
Lu Meng shook his head, "Please take care of the custody first, wait until the war is over before letting them go."
"Thank you for not killing me for not killing me, thank you for not killing me." Everyone is grateful for morality.
The closer I got to Kuaiji, the deeper the premonition of Lu Meng's unknown ones. This premonition really became a reality when I got to Kuaiji City.
People were head-bumped on Kuaiji City. Many places on the city were covered with iron sheets. These were newly added and there were also on the city gates. It was obvious that our second young master strengthened Kuaiji City.
If all the soldiers in Kuaiji are really open, they can put down 100,000 troops, but Sun Quan and the private soldiers of the gentry are not 30,000. Now the city walls are densely packed with people, and almost no one can stand. Where did these individuals come from?
Did his second young master put his troops on a city wall? Then the other three gates would be easy to attack.
"Ling Chao, go and send someone to investigate the east gate, south gate, and west gate!" Lu Meng sent a scout to observe all the other three gates of Kuaiji City, and there were densely packed people on the three walls.
"Where did his second son come from the army?" Ling Chao asked in confusion. This is equivalent to a 100,000 army. If there were so many soldiers, you would have fought to Jianye long ago, instead of being sent by Lu Meng to attack him now.
"These are not the second young master's soldiers, all of these individuals are the people!" Lu Meng's face was a little gloomy, because these people could not voluntarily climb the city wall. If foreign enemies invade, it can still be considered as survival and death with the city. But now, Lu Meng's army belongs to the Jiangdong army after all. These people are definitely not voluntarily, they are forced.
"Despicable, let the people go to the city wall!" Ling Chao was a little disgusted with the second young master. "Brother, what should we do now!"
"It is said that our army ordered the whole army to set up camp and wait for the lord, no, wait for the arrival of the general." Lu Meng and his team were the vanguard army to find out the truth and truth of Kuaiji. Now seeing the gate of Kuaiji is closed, the second young master actually asked the people to go up to the city wall, and Lu Meng was not sure of his decision and had to wait for the arrival of the lord Gongsun Ce.
Lu Meng's vanguard army set up camp outside Kuaiji City, and Sun Ce's large troops came one after another. They advocated the Daying and other things to be safe.
Lu Meng spoke to Sun Ce what he saw during the day.
"Let the people go up to the city wall?" The steps beside him thought for a while and couldn't help but smile bitterly. The second young master wanted to force Wu Hou to death. The people above the city are the people of Jiangdong. If you want to attack the city, then come on. These people will definitely be injured by accident. Once the people are hurt, then Sun Ce's people's hearts in Jiangdong will be ruined, even worse than massacring so many villages.
"This is not Zhongmou's plan," Sun Ce deserves to be Sun Quan's brother. After thinking for a while, he understood. This move is simply a rhythm of killing one thousand enemies and hurting himself by himself. Although Sun Ce's forced attack on the city was indeed losing the hearts of the people in Jiangdong, is this good for Sun Quan? After all, these people were driven by you to the city wall, so Sun Ce knew that this was not Sun Quan's plan. Only one person could defeat the death of the enemy, "Zhang Zhao and Zhang Zibu."
Sun Ce regretted it a little. He should have thought that he had just stopped killing Zhang Zhao, and instead of being so soft-hearted that he just wanted to drive Zhang Zhao out, it finally became this point.
No countermeasures were discussed overnight, and the sky soon became darker. At the third day of cooking and at the fourth day of logging, Sun Ce's army began to build siege weapons under the city.
To be continued...
