Chapter 0413 go their separate ways
Is there something wrong with the transfer letter?
Man Chong was a little confused, but he clearly saw that there was nothing wrong with the seal on the bamboo slip.
Could it be that the enemy used General Zhengnan's order to send him to die?
Thinking about it this way, wouldn't Jiangling City have fallen into the enemy's hands? General Zhengnan has even lost his seal. Is he still alive?
impossible!
Man Chong was horrified, if this was really the case, then the trouble would be huge.
Le Jin handed the letter to Man Chong. In fact, he didn't find anything unusual. He just said it casually to avoid Man Chong sending troops.
Even if Man Boning sends troops immediately, it will not help Jiangling City's situation.
On the contrary, the effective strength of their own soldiers will be wasted. Three thousand soldiers are too few for the support of Jiangling City.
If we fight all the way, we may not even be able to enter Jiangling City.
Since General Zhengnan sent someone to send the transfer letter, it means that he can still persevere.
In just one or two days, if Xu Gongming also sends troops, it would be best to join forces with him.
Rather than becoming a fuel tactic, passing through waves to death.
Le Jin was actually opposed to Man Chong sending troops, but he knew he could not persuade Man Chong.
I can only say this, at least delay it for a while and communicate with Xu Gongming first.
At least if we want to send troops, we must also remove the nail that is Guan Yunchang before we can attack boldly with confidence.
Especially the rumor that Liu and Guan combined 50,000 troops to attack Xiangyang City is false at first glance, and it can basically be discounted in half.
If 50,000 people don't try to attack Xiangyang City, then when will we?
It just shows that they are pulling the skin of a tiger!
If they cooperate well, they can attack Xu Gongming from front to back and win the battle, and the news will spread to Jiangling City.
That is much better than being eaten up little by little by Man Chong, and not having many people left in Jiangling City in the end.
Moreover, both roads were cut off by Liu Bei, so it was impossible for him not to send heavy troops to guard them.
Calculated in this way, if the number of troops Liu Guan has is cut in half, there can be more than 10,000 people, which is considered to be too much.
Man Chong was shocked by Le Jin's statement. He quickly took out a few bamboo slips sent by the general who conquered the south and compared them carefully.
I read several letters in succession for comparison, and there was nothing wrong with the seals.
Except for the recent letter, the handwriting is a bit illegible, and it was not written by Zhengnan Changshi.
You can see how urgent the situation is!
"Wen Qian, I checked carefully and found that this seal is authentic. It is the last letter and was not written by Chen Jibi."
Le Jin slapped his fist and said loudly: "Bo Ning, isn't this right?
It has always been Chen Changshi who drafted the document, and now it is someone else. Something must have happened."
Man Chong was even more anxious. This meant that Chen Jiao had been killed or injured in the battle. From this point of view, the situation in Jiangling City was not optimistic.
"I'm worried that Jiangling City is about to be breached." Man Chong put down the letter, looking anxious.
"The letter does not say that if the defeated soldiers flee north, they will definitely pass through Dangyang County.
We should immediately send sentries to the two roads to inquire about the situation in Jiangling City. We should also inquire about the whereabouts of the defeated soldiers and ask about the situation.
Otherwise, if you attack rashly, you will end up like me before."
Le Jin was using his own personal experience to tell Man Chong that the millions of kilograms of grain in Yicheng had confused him and led to a plot.
Now if Man Chong is ambushed on the road, not only will he not be able to rescue Jiangling City, he will not even be able to defend Dangyang County.
At that point, Jiangling City will be considered a truly isolated city.
Man Chong knew in his heart that the three thousand soldiers under his command would not be of much use even if they arrived at Jiangling City.
But it is better than doing nothing and watching the fall of Jiangling City. At least it can give the soldiers in Jiangling City hope.
Man Chong wanted to tell the soldiers in Jiangling City that he was only the nearest reinforcement, and there were reinforcements from other places rushing to rescue them.
The Prime Minister did not give up on them, let alone Jiangling City!
"Bo Ning, why don't we send troops to recover various parts of Nanjun first, cut off Liu Guan's retreat, and coordinate with Xu Gongming in Xiangyang City."
Le Jin gave advice: "In this situation, General Zhengnan wants us to support, and the Sun and Liu families also want us to support.
But we have to disrupt their rhythm first and then go to support them."
Man Chong thought for a while and was finally convinced by Le Jin. If his men rashly went to support Jiangling City, they might never return.
The key is that we can’t help General Zhengnan!
"Then we attack Linju, Jingyang and other places to cut off Liu and Guan's retreat first!"
"good."
Le Jin nodded and agreed. Don't be anxious at this time. Even if you are anxious, you won't be able to help!
After a while, Le Jin led his troops out of Dangyang County, but they did not go towards Jiangling City, but towards the east.
The secret sentry sent by Zhao Yun looked puzzled, and hurriedly sent people to ride back to report the enemy's movements, and at the same time sent people to follow.
~~
The defeated soldiers of Cao's army who had taken a small road were resting. During this period, they entered the village and plundered food to satisfy their hunger.
Resting at this time!
Cao Ren picked up the water bag and took a swig, but he didn't expect that these villagers had a lot of food in their hands.
They must have moved back from Yicheng and were dismissed by Liu Bei as a good guy.
"Report, General Zhengnan, the enemy troops are not following us."
Keep an eye on the enemy's Niu Gai after the break, and lead the troops back to report.
Upon hearing this, Cao Ren threw the water bag to Niugai and asked him to have a good rest before he was on his way.
Sure enough, Zhou Yu did not send anyone to chase him, but went to occupy Jiangling City.
What Zhou Yu hopes is to have Liu Bei's people block him!
As long as there are no pursuing troops behind you, you can organize your forces to break through Liu Bei's interception.
Sentinels have been sent out to inform Man Chong in Dangyang County so that he can be prepared to respond.
As for Jiangling City, Cao Ren felt that he still had a chance to fight back. After Yilingzhi's defeat taught him a lesson, he also sent people to dig tunnels in Jiangling City.
Just so that one day Jiangling City is broken and occupied by the enemy, and then we can secretly fight back!
In this matter, Jiang Dong must have never imagined that he would put himself at his own risk.
"General Zhengnan, the trail is difficult and takes a long time. If we take the trail, we might be ambushed!"
After eating and drinking, Cao Xiu mustered up the courage to speak out what was in his heart.
Cao Ren smiled and said indifferently: "Liu Xuande must not have many soldiers on the path.
Jiangxia County fell into his hands, and there were no longer many people worth defending.
The first few times we encountered ambushes, we always took small paths, and we subconsciously resisted taking small paths.
The small road is closer to the waterway, so they can all pursue us by boat, while looking at the main road.
Although it is closer to Dangyang County, there are many roads where we can ambush, and they prefer us to take the main road.
The most important thing is that Liu Bei has already besieged Xiangyang City, so he still has so many soldiers in his hands, so don’t worry!"
