Spoiler History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 340 Remembering Gong Jin’s past
Lu Meng felt that Zhou Yu had set an excellent example for him on how to fight from the east to the west of the Yangtze River.

Chaisang gathered his troops, and Baqiu swore an oath.

Both of these places are small towns on the south bank of the river, and both have large swamps.

To the east of Chaisang is Penglize (Poyang Lake). The lakes are connected, which is suitable for training the navy and sending orders to gather troops.

To the west of Baqiu is Yunmengze (Dongting Lake). The lake is large and can be used as a naval position to attack Bazhong.

Therefore, Zhou Yu dragged his sick body to gather troops in Chaisang, and then moved to Baqiu. The next step was to operate on Jiangling.

But as his condition worsened, his body could no longer hold on and he died suddenly.

With Gong Jin Zhuyu in front of him, Lu Meng was happy to follow the steps.

The only place that felt a bit depressing was Jiangling City.

Thinking of this, Lu Meng was also a little upset and took out a silk painting from his arms.

The silk is of exquisite workmanship, and the damask pattern on it indicates its high value, but the crooked patterns on the silk painting destroy the beauty of the silk painting.

But thinking of the value of this silk painting, Lu Meng's heart throbbed with pain.

"That businessman deserves to be killed!"

With a grunt in his mouth, Lu Meng unfolded the silk painting. It was a rather scrawled map, depicting the situation around Jiangling and the Public Security Bureau.

But even if Guan Yu came to see this picture in person, it would probably take him a while to recognize where it was.

But it was enough for Lu Meng.

It is obvious to the naked eye that Jiangling is difficult to fight. After all, Lu Meng was also stationed there when Zhou Yu was stationed in Jiangling.

Being surrounded by water on both sides is already easy to defend but difficult to attack, so Guan Yu frantically repaired the old city and built a new one, making it even more indestructible.

But looking at it from another direction, Lu Meng recalled what Lu Yi said:

"A place that is well guarded is also a dangerous place."

"In addition, its trade is prosperous and the population of the city is bloated. One day's ration may cost thousands of stones."

"We will surround it with a large army and use light boats to cut off the water and grain routes. Jiangling will be an isolated city on the river."

"As long as you besiege but not attack, the city will collapse in March or May!"

Just reading the text, Lu Meng would never have imagined that Lu Yi was actually a gentleman-like figure.

Previously, Marquis Sun sent his souvenir, but Lu Meng dismissed it.

But his strategy of "rowing the river to defend himself and waiting for good opportunities" made Lu Meng's eyes light up, and he felt like he had found a light in the darkness.

But now that Lu Yi was investigating and filling the gaps, Lu Meng quickly made a decision:
"First attack the two places of Gong'an and Xiaoling, and cut off the road to Jingnan!"

This time Lü Meng only conducted the main attack in Jiangling. At the same time, Pan Zhang, Ding Feng, Jiang Qin and others led troops from Yichun in Yuzhang and Ganxian in Luling to directly attack the four counties in Jingnan including Changsha and Guiyang.

As long as Jiangling's access to Jingnan is cut off first, Lu Meng believes that it is only a matter of time before he can capture all four counties in Jingnan.

Following the order, the warships moved together, and the Jiangdong navy, led by Lu Meng, moved up the river. The police were bound to win, and he must avenge the previous humiliation!

However, the Jiangdong navy was already mixed, and the Jiangxia garrison who followed Lu Meng was okay, at least they could enforce orders and prohibitions.

People on the navy ships coming from the hinterland of Jiangdong had already started whispering and asking each other.

"We just sail the boat, can we run into General Guan's giant boat?"

"Conquering the city with one boat, that boat is probably more powerful than Marquis Sun's giant ship!"

"How about we jump into the water when the fight breaks out later? The left and right sides of this warship are not our own. If they are gone, they will be gone. Survival is the most important thing."

"Let's wait and see first. Before I set off, I heard that Marquis Sun was not in a good mood. It's best for us not to get into trouble."

"How to say?"

"It is said that two generals were lost!"

"It's strange, how come the general is missing..."

"Silence!"

The Jiangxia defenders on the boat couldn't stand it and snorted coldly, so the sailors from Jiangdong looked at each other and then curled their lips together.

Perhaps fearing that morale would be affected, after a moment of cold wind, the Jiangxia garrison explained:
"When we set out from Jiangxia, General Lu had already blocked the Han River, and now that the water is dry, the giant boat will not be able to go south."

Then he cheered:

"The general has something to say, if you defeat Jiangling, everyone will be rewarded!"

But there were more soldiers on board who were recruited from the hinterland of Jiangdong. On the spot, they sneered in a disgraceful way:

"That means if Jiangling cannot be conquered, there will be no reward."

"No reward? No punishment but reward!"

"Oh, the general is so powerful that he can take care of little Jiangling. When the brothers receive the reward for defeating Jiangling, the general will take us straight to Yizhou to capture Liu Bei alive!"

The boat immediately burst into laughter, and the atmosphere became more casual. Lu Meng was slightly annoyed, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Regarding this battle, Lu Meng's tribe did not agree with everyone from the bottom of his heart, but he would not say it so straightforwardly.

And as a subordinate, you have to obey the general's orders.

But deep down in his heart, this soldier could not help but think that if he could achieve the story of General Guan...

In the battle last year, Guan Yu went north to attack Cao Cao, which shocked Jiangdong.

Sun Hou led the army to attack Hefei and returned with a great defeat, "powerful in Jiangdong".To this day, when people from the South chat, they will talk about how brave General Guan was in this battle and how Cao Jun ran away with his head in his arms.

Although I dare not go into details about the Hefei defeat, when we sat down to drink tea, we just looked at each other and sighed. Who can understand?
Therefore, Jiang Dong could not help but compare General Guan with Governor Zhou in private. Although they had different opinions, it was undeniable that they were both heroes.

Therefore, this Jiangxia soldier was inevitably disappointed:

Three or five years ago, from Zhou Gongjin, Chibi won the battle and gained great power in one battle.

Now, at this moment, Baqiu swears his loyalty and attacks Guan Gong from behind. Does the Commander-in-Chief know?
In Jiangling City, Zhuge Qiao politely asked the soldiers to borrow a low stool.

After placing the low stool next to the female wall and shaking it twice to make sure it was stable, Zhuge Qiao hugged his sister up.

So Zhuge Guo's little braided head stretched out from the gap in the parapet wall, and then he let out a "wow" sound.

"Brother, our house is on fire!"

Zhuge Qiao chuckled helplessly. Fortunately, there were many people on the city wall at this time, all looking eagerly towards the south bank of the river, and no one paid too much attention to what a little girl said next.

After doting on his sister's head, Zhuge Qiao corrected:

"It has been nearly a year since we moved to Gangneung with our mother. The police station can only be regarded as our old residence."

Zhuge Guo blinked and didn't feel there was any difference:
"It was our home, and now my mother would be very sad if she burned it down. She didn't even come to see it."

This is true. Zhuge Qiao also knows how much time and effort his mother spent studying engineering in the police.

Although Mr. Chiang's order was followed in the first month of the year, most of what could be demolished and moved in Gong'an County was quietly sent to Jiangling. Today, only an empty frame is left in Gong'an County.

But watching it turn into ashes with my own eyes, the feeling was still not the same.

This is naturally to cope with Jiangdong's attack. Gong'an County is surrounded by rivers in the north and south. Although some water power plants on the bank are connected with giant crossbows, if Jiangdong comes with all his strength, he will still be unable to defend.

Moreover, Huang Yueying talked with Jiang Wan. Compared with the gains and losses in one place, the Eight Ox Crossbow must not fall into the hands of Jiangdong.

Fortunately, as Jiangling becomes increasingly prosperous, the number of residents in Gongan County has not only not increased, but has actually decreased.

After all, Gong'an County was named after "Xuande Gong'an resting place", and before that it was just a wasteland.

Now with the recovery of Jingbei, whether you are looking for fertile land or a way to make money, you can go north. Gong'an County is mostly just because these workshops are still operating.

But now with this fire...

Zhuge Guo took one last look, then jumped off the stool without any hesitation, and ran off with a "thump, thump, thump".

"I'm going to find my mother!"

The little girl left as soon as she was told, which was really a pain for Zhuge Qiao, and she did not forget to apologize to the soldiers:
He had to catch up with his sister and had no time to return the low stool.

The soldiers were also familiar with each other, so they just waved their hands and told Zhuge Qiao to go quickly.

After getting off the city wall, Zhuge Guo sneaked into the alley with ease. After passing through two narrow alleys, he got in through the back door of a quiet mansion.

This courtyard is very elegant. The weather is relatively cold, but there are a bunch of colorful plants blooming in the corner of the courtyard.

Even though Zhuge Guo was impatient, he didn't forget to take a look.

Those plants and flowers were covered by a glazed house, and there was still heat rising from the middle of the plants:

It was a small tunnel dug from the kitchen to this place. There was a small stove that stayed on day and night, delivering heat to this place alone.

Although his mother probably told him the truth, it didn't stop Zhuge Guo from thinking that his mother was really amazing, like a fairy.

After a few glances, Zhuge Guo kept walking, passed through the atrium and a corridor, and directly opened the door of Huang Yueying's study:

"Mother! The home over the river is on fire!"

Huang Yueying nodded to show her understanding, but she kept moving her hands, using a ruler and a hard pen, without even raising her eyes.

Seeing that his mother didn't respond, Zhuge Guo rolled his eyes and said flatly:

"My eldest brother took me to see the city wall. He cried so much that he was very sad."

Huang Yueying's wrists were not messy at all, but her tone changed a little, with a slight smile:
"Your eldest brother will definitely be displeased if he hears what you have arranged for him."

Zhuge Guo didn't care. He could tell that his mother was in a good mood, so he hugged his mother's legs and climbed up.

Only then did Huang Yueying pick it up in a hurry.

Zhuge Qiao heard these words clearly outside the house, shook his head and smiled, then turned and left.

Zhuge Guo lay in his mother's arms, holding the lapel of his clothes and looking back at the picture his mother had drawn. He soon realized:
"Is this the police?"

Letting her daughter sit in her arms, Huang Yueying raised her arms a little:

"There are many workshops in the Old Public Security Bureau, which are connected to each other. It is difficult for craftsmen to work and it is extremely inconvenient. It is better to burn them down."

"I read a letter from your father recently, saying that the workshop now has more than [-] categories. If we don't plan, it may affect production."

Therefore, Huang Yueying has recently tried to arrange places according to offensive and defensive characteristics, trying to plan a real "Gongfang County".

Zhuge Guo could only half understand what he heard, but he cheered:
"When will father come back?"

Huang Yueying smiled and said: "Your father said he will come back this year!"

Zhuge Guo's cheers erupted in the study.

　No need to wait for the next update, just check it out tomorrow morning.

　　The competition will be over in two days, and my schedule will be adjusted to normal, and I can kowtow.
