Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 350 Jiangling City

In September of the sixth year of Jian'an, Bai Tu led [-] elite troops across the river from Jinling to Jiangling...

Ten thousand, there is no big deal in terms of quantity, but originally Baitu was just here to be a mascot. Counting the other three route armies, including the newly recruited troops on the spot in the past two years, the General Mansion has a total of [-] troops in Jiangling. battlefield!
Originally it was just a matter of "just show up, what kind of gift (bing) do you need to bring?"...

Of course, no matter how many people there are, Bai Tu can't let Bai Tu talk nonsense and rush here on his own. That would be too hopeless, so he still gathered [-] elite troops, and Lu Bu was also with him!
It can be said that the General's Office clenched its fists this time, preparing to "kill" Jiangling with a pestle, and did not want to fight a protracted war.

Bai Tu was counting the days. Things should have changed in Xudu now, but he still had to wait for news about the specific outcome and who would be the emperor's "flower".

Similarly, when Bai Tu arrived for more than a month, Sun Ce, Zhao Yun and others were still standing still - the news that Bai Tu was going to fight in person came much faster than his people!
Knowing that Bai Tu was on the way, the frontline soldiers also worked extra hard. Even if there were any disagreements between the various departments, they all restrained themselves. The biggest "dispute" was to fight bravely.

After all, neither Zhao Yun, nor Sun Ce, nor Chen Gong, nor Zhang Xiu... were all difficult to get along with. Counting on, the most troublesome people had was Zhou Er, but with Sun Ce around, he could still talk about it.

When Bai Tu arrived at Jiangling, the enemy camps outside the city had basically been cleared away, leaving only the most difficult to attack Jiangling City. Seeing that the lonely city was difficult to defend...

It's just that Liu Pan and Han Xuan were not mentioned, but General Huang Zhong really made Zhao Yun and Sun Ce hesitate to advance!

Now I am not afraid of the general Huang Zhong. Zhang Liao is slightly inferior in terms of pure force, but Sun Ce can at least be evenly matched with him, and Zhao Yun is even more confident of winning after more than a hundred battles.

Zhao Yun was a little embarrassed to say that, after all... for an old man to compete with Lily, he was a bit of a bully.

But who let Zhao Yun be the path of long flowing water?
Now that Lu Bu and Bai Tu have come together, Huang Zhong dared to go to the city to make an appointment, and the General's Mansion would prevent him from going back, but...Huang Zhong is just older, and he is not old-fashioned, so he won't come out now Fighting general.

After Bai Tu arrived at Jiangling Military Camp, he met Sun Ce, Zhao Yun and others... especially Zhang Xiu!

Although Zhang Xiu had already served in the General's Mansion two years ago, because Nanyang was far away from the jurisdiction of the General's Mansion before, Zhang Xiu had been fighting on the front line even after the connection was opened, and Bai Tu did not specifically ask him to leave the front line and return. Jinling reported on his work.

Therefore, Zhang Xiu, the former captain of the General's Mansion, who led the northernmost army of the General's Mansion and actually governed the Wancheng area and the military administration of North and Nanyang, met Bai Tu for the first time.

"General Zhang Xiu, please pay homage to your lord!" Zhang Xiu bowed to Bai Tu.

"Youwei is not polite... Nanyang affairs are mostly handled by Youwei. I am a little embarrassed to meet you today." Bai Tu quickly subdued Zhang Xiu and said.

"Actually, it's nothing... After Uncle Wen He left, Zilong has been helping me. A rough guy like Xiu doesn't know how to take care of himself. With the Lord's trust, being able to lead troops to fight is the limit." Zhang Xiu It's not that good at saying that, compared to Zhao Yun, he is more like a pure warrior without a trace of culture.

"Everything is fine for Wen He in Jinling. It's just that Wen He's daughter is getting married this year, so I won't have the trouble to come with him again."

"Xiu... Well, Xiu also heard about it. Thanks to the lord, otherwise the nieces and the others would still be under Duan Xuan's custody!" Zhang Xiu is not used to calling himself "Xiu", but his "Xiu" can always Jia Xu specially reminded him of the momentum of shouting "I".

Bai Tu followed up and talked about Jia Xu again, and indeed he got closer to Zhang Xiu, but he really didn't understand how his seniority was calculated. He called Jia Xu "uncle" and also called him "uncle". Daughter "niece"...

After talking to Zhang Xiu about "The Source of the Rainbow", Bai Tucai talked to the generals about the matter in Jiangling City.

"Jiangling has been the old capital of the Chu Kingdom since the pre-Qin Dynasty, and has been the center of the Southland for hundreds of years. The city wall is no less solid than Luoyang at the time. The effect of the Baigong Cannon is not obvious, and...it is convenient to use stones for ammunition around it. Most of the places we have mined have been mined by us. Now we need to make stone bombs, which will take longer." Zhou Yu reported to Bai Tu that demolition-style siege was not advisable.

The Baigong artillery itself has limited effect on the real first-line big cities and military fortresses, and Jiangling is not only on the first-line list, but... it also has a historical heritage that surpasses Luoyang!
Luoyang declined so easily, but it was Dong Zhuo who completely burned out the people's hearts after a fire and forced migration.

"However, Jiangling's garrison is insufficient. Even if the militia is mobilized, there will only be about 3 people...and among them, only the Jingzhou Army who retreated from Jingnan can be regarded as well-trained veterans with battlefield experience." Chen Gong added.

"Today afternoon, I will personally go to the front of the battle to see if I can surrender... If Jiangling is willing to offer the city, a lot of blood will be saved for both the enemy and the people, as well as the soldiers and civilians." Bai Tu nodded and said.

None of the generals or the generals had any objections to this - Bai Tu had already arrived in person, so it was only right to call for a formation first.

But since Liu Pan is Liu Biao's nephew, I'm afraid he won't surrender so easily.

……

The army in the general's palace was celebrating. Although Jiangling had been surrounded and his eyes and ears were blocked, he had heard the news before that Bai Tu would personally supervise the army!

Seeing that the city was becoming more gloomy and gloomy, Liu Pan was quite positive. He invited Han Xuan and other staff, as well as Huang Zhong and other generals, to discuss matters in the camp. In fact, there was nothing to "discuss", but mainly to cheer everyone up.

Now that the days are almost here, Liu Pan no longer conceals the fact that Xu Du is about to change, but instead adds to the jealousy, saying as if the court has changed the surname to Liu, and will soon make these rebellious ministers and traitors look good, and the eyes are just before dawn. Like darkness.

Han Xuan, Jin Xuan, Zhao Fan and the others really took this set, and most of the haze on their faces disappeared immediately, but Huang Zhong's expression remained unchanged. The situation is clearer, whether it is Xudu or the imperial court, if the General Mansion does not hesitate to casualties, I am afraid that the distant water cannot save the nearby fire!

What's even more frightening is that Huang Zhong calculated the time when the attack on the General's Mansion would begin...

You wouldn't have leaked the news a long time ago, right?

If the General's Office really expected it, then the other party is now planning to capture Jiangling before the court mediates it!

Of course, Huang Zhong knew Liu Pan and other people's temperaments. Although he was worried, he would not say it to spoil the fun.

It's just that another person present, Wei, who also saw some signs, did not have such strict expression control...

"Wei Yan! What's your expression? Are you dissatisfied with me? The enemy still dares to shake the morale of the army... Come here! Go out and beat him with twenty army sticks!"
