Three Kingdoms: Heir of Wolong, my father-in-law is Guan Gong

Chapter 126 Lu Meng storms Jiangling City, Zhuge Qiao builds morale at the top of the city (seeking pursuit)
  Seeing Lu Meng's insistence, Yu Fan could only stare at Shiren bitterly.

As the most venomous tongue in Jiangdong, Yu Fan would speak out against others when he was upset. Even Sun Quan was once frightened by Yu Fan's comments and exiled Yu Fan to Jingxian County, out of sight and out of mind.

Shiren stared at Yu Fan warily, until Yu Fan sheathed his sword and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Captain, do you really want to listen?" Shiren asked cautiously, glancing at Yu Fan again from the corner of his eyes.

Lu Meng couldn't help but frown: "You can just say it if I ask you to. I'm sorry."

Shi Ren calmed down and said, "Captain, Zhuge Qiao deliberately ordered not to light the beacon tower along the river. There is also an ambush in Jiangling City."

"Not only that, the Nanjun soldiers and horses mobilized by Guan Yu are now taking Hanjinkou to attack Lukou."

"Ma Liang was in Linyuan during the war. The ordnance that Governor Mi sold to the Lingling barbarians was also smuggled to Linyuan. The grain and rice shipped from Linyuan to Jiangling City were also detained by Fan Miao."

"The King of Hanzhong has stationed 50,000 troops in Baidi City. If he learns that Jiangling has been attacked, he will be able to reach Jiangling within one day."

"Cao Pi had already ordered Xu Huang to tell Guan Yu privately about the governor's surprise attack on Jiangling."

"Zhuge Qiao asked me to tell the governor: General Sun wants to be an oriole, but Cao Pi wants to be a fisherman!"

As soon as Shiren finished speaking, Yu Fan once again drew his sword and pointed it at Shiren: "I knew you, a thief like you, would talk nonsense and ruin the morale of our army."

"How could such clumsy tricks fool me?"

"There are less than 2,000 defenders in Jiangling City. Zhuge Qiao must be worried that he will not be able to defend Jiangling City, so he used words to deceive."

"Do you think I'm as stupid as you, a thief, and I can trick you into opening the door and surrendering with just a few words?"

Shiren was furious when he heard this: "Yu Fan, am I sleeping with your wife and concubine, or am I sleeping with your daughter? How do you want to treat me like this?"

"Do you dare to give me a sword? A one-on-one duel of life and death. No matter life or death, don't blame anyone!"

Yu Fan shouted: "So what if I give it to you? Today I will kill you, the thief, to prevent you from disturbing the morale of the army again."

Just when Yu Fan was about to fight Shiren to decide whether to live or die, Lu Meng shouted: "That's enough! Jiangling City is right in front of you. Zhuge Qiao just said a few words and made you two face each other life and death. Isn't it just to make people laugh?"

"Ma Zhong, you lead 10,000 troops, move earth to fill the river, and fill in the moat for me first!"

"Pan Zhang, you lead 10,000 troops and assemble anti-tank chariots and hooks, rushes, and ladders. I don't believe Zhuge Qiao's garrison of less than 2,000 people can hold it!"

"Yu Fan, go to the rear army quickly and tell Lu Xun that he will send 10,000 troops to Yidu County and be sure to block the Yi Road!"

"."

Orders were issued one by one, but Lu Meng was not deterred by Shiren's few words.

Lu Meng's more than seventy large ships not only carried troops, but also siege equipment prepared in advance. When they wanted to attack the city, they only needed to be assembled.

Since we were planning a surprise attack, we naturally couldn't wait until we got to Gong'an City and Jiangling City before wasting time logging.

Defrauding the city was just a tactic. Lu Meng hid 40,000 troops for a sneak attack. He didn't just rely on deceiving the city to capture Jiangling.

Since the deception of the city failed, let's attack it by force!

With Guan Yu's army outside, Lu Meng was confident that he would have enough time to attack Jiangling City and Gong'an City, which were under-manned.

Seeing that Lu Meng was commanding calmly, Shiren felt a little hesitant in his heart.

Although he acted decisively in front of Zhuge Qiao, Shiren was actually not that fearless of death.

It can be seen from his hesitant steps when leaving the city that Shiren has no determination to be a dead soldier.

Seeing that Lu Mengjun was calm at this moment, Xiao Jiujiu was born in his heart again.

If Lü Meng breaks the city, Zhuge Qiao's promise will be of no use. "General Shi, don't worry. Jiangling City can only be captured in three days at most." Lu Meng was already good at scheming. Seeing the change in Shi Ren's expression, he had a guess in his mind.

Although he despised Shiren's character, Lu Meng could not kill Shiren.

When Jiangling City is defeated, Lu Meng still needs to use Shi Ren to set an example and recruit the civil and military forces of Jiangling City to surrender.

The head of Jiangling City.

When Fu Wei saw Zhuge Qiao coming to the tower in person, he felt worried and hurriedly advised: "Master Secretary, you have an important responsibility and you must not go to dangerous places in person."

"In the past, the deputy military advisor was mistakenly targeted because he visited a dangerous place. If the chief military officer is accidentally injured because of this, he will be blamed."

"Leave this place to the general. As long as the general is still breathing, no Wu dog will be allowed to climb the tower!"

Zhuge Qiao looked at the determined-looking general in front of him, and subconsciously thought of Fu Wei's words in historical records: "Wu Gou! How can a Han general surrender!"

Zhuge Qiao glanced at the fearful soldiers and said, "General Fu, tell the brothers. The king is in Baidi City. Jiangling City is not an isolated city, and we are not alone either!"

At this moment, any words to boost morale are not as useful as Liu Bei in Baidi City.

Hearing that Liu Bei was in Baidi City, Fu Wei couldn't help but be startled: "Master Secretary, is the king really in Baidi City?"

Zhuge Qiao nodded solemnly: "Not only is the king here, the guard general Fa Xiaozhi is also there, and the tiger general Zhao Yun is also here."

"In addition, there are ten generals including Huang Quan, Wu Ban, Feng Xi, Zhang Nan, Chen Shi, Fukuang, Xiang Chong, Zhao Rong, Du Lu and Liu Ning."

"General Fu must know what they can do better than I do!"

Fu Wei felt his blood surge and his heart became excited.

Not to mention that Huang Quan's ten generals all made great contributions in the Battle of Hanzhong. Just talking about the mighty general Zhao Yun, he is really famous in Hanzhong.

A few dozen cavalrymen dared to play cavalry interspersed among Cao Cao's vanguard, and no one could stop him from going back and forth. They dared to stand in front of the camp alone, causing Cao Cao's soldiers to run away in fear.

Although his reputation is inferior to that of Guan Zhang and Ma Huang, his bravery and courage are not inferior to anyone else.

Zhao Yun is the only one who can make all the generals in the army call him "General Hu Might" and make Liu Bei sigh that "Zilong is full of courage"!
  Fu Wei did not hesitate, and immediately announced to the soldiers at the top of the city that Liu Bei and others were in Baidi City.

The fear of all the soldiers also subsided.

Baidi City is only one day away from Jiangling. If we hold on for one day, reinforcements from Baidi City will arrive.

If there are reinforcements from outside, Jiangling City will not be an isolated city; defending Jiangling City will be a meritorious service.

Most people seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. This is human nature.

Lu Meng wanted to attack Jiangling City by force, using human nature to make the Jiangling City defenders despair; Zhuge Qiao told Fu Shu the news about Liu Bei in Baidi City, also using human nature to give hope to the Jiangling City defenders.

Although Jiangling soldiers and Jiangdong soldiers have not yet officially clashed, the battle between Zhuge Qiao and Lu Meng has already begun.

Fu Wei raised the carved bow in his hand and shouted: "If Han and thieves are not at odds, the king's business will not be peaceful. A righteous man should draw his bow and kill the Wu dog tonight."

"Brothers, your Majesty is with me!"

"kill!"

As Fu Xu shouted, the morale at the top of the city soared again.

"The Han and the thieves are not at odds with each other, and the king's business is not at peace.", "A righteous man should draw his bow and kill the Wu dog tonight.", and "The king is with me."

The roars one after another kicked off the defensive battle in Jiangling.
