Chapter four hundred and ninety third sudden encounter
Xu Zong received Liu Jing's order, came out of the military camp, and went straight to Chaisang City.
With the arrival of Xu Zong, the Jingzhou army outside Chaisangdong City received the order and immediately stopped dumping earth and rocks into the moat. As a result, the bows and crossbows of both sides became sparse.
Xu Zongyuan looked at the top of Chaisang City and sighed secretly. He knew that not only was there no hope of success in persuading surrender, but there was also a risk of being humiliated.
As a famous scholar, Xu Zong cherished feathers very much and did not want to be humiliated. However, as soon as he surrendered, Liu Jing personally greeted him and made tea to receive him. It can be said that he was treated with great courtesy. Since Liu Jing personally asked him to surrender to Chai Sang
The defender, how could he have no room to refuse? No matter how reluctant he was, he could only hold his nose and accept.
Xu Zong stood at the foot of the city, took a deep breath, and said in a loud voice: "I am Xu Zong, the leader of Peng Ze. Is Xu Zong here? Please come out and answer..."
When the person at the top of Chaisang City heard the shouting, it was Xu Zong, the magistrate of Pengze County, which immediately caused a commotion. Chaisang and Peng Ze were fighting each other to the left and right. Before the battle officially started, Peng Ze had already fallen, and everyone
How can you not be surprised?
Xu Sheng happened to be patrolling the east city. When he heard the news, he rushed to the city wall and saw that it was Xu Zong himself. He didn't know that Peng Ze had fallen into the enemy's hands. He was shocked and angry for a while.
The Jingzhou Army had previously sent troops to garrison Lushan Mountain to the south of Chaisang, and now it had captured Pengze to the east of Chaisang. In addition, the Zhou Army blocked the waterway, and Chaisang became an isolated city.
Just listen to Xu Zong shouting: "Xu Xiaowei, Sun Yuzhang is not innocent for allowing the bandits to invade Changsha. Now Liu An is promoting the righteous army in Nannan. He wants to fight against the unjust and does not want to cause more killings. This time he only wants to fight against Sun Yuzhang. As long as he does not help the tyrants to do evil, everything will be done."
Regardless of the crime. Xu Xiaowei is not a general of Sun Yuzhang and does not receive his salary, so why should he die for him..."
Xu Sheng interrupted him directly and taunted him: "I was punished by Sun Ce for being rebellious, and I was punished by Sun Quan for being a slave, so why did I abandon my master and become a thief? Now he is actively lobbying for the enemies in Tudu's hometown.
I'm sorry for the kindness of my boss, and I'm sorry for the hope of the people. Is it true that I'm not afraid of the criticism of Jiangdong's people?"
Xu Zong was so shocked by Xu Sheng that his face turned red and he was speechless. After a long while, he spoke again: "Xu Xiaowei is trapped in the isolated city, and reinforcements are difficult to rescue. After all, Liu Annan's army cannot be stopped. It is better to surrender early, and Liu Annan will treat his subordinates favorably...
…”
Xu Sheng was unmoved and said generously: "I am a native of the Han Dynasty, but Sun Toulu did not regard me as humble. He took me as a confidant and appointed me as a minion. Even if Liu Annan offered me thousands of gold and ten thousand households, he would not be as good as Sun Toulu."
The grace of knowing you!"
"The city of Chaisang is well-fortified and the troops are well-prepared. Within ten months, even if a hundred thousand people attack together, they will not even be able to step into the city. After ten months, Sun Tui's reinforcements will arrive. By then, Chaisang's crisis will be resolved. Chu
The thieves are in danger of capsizing. Please tell Liu Jing that it is better to retreat now, otherwise when the Jiangdong army gathers from all sides, you will not be able to leave even if you want to." At the end of the sentence, Xu Sheng persuaded Xu Zong to come.
Seeing that Xu Sheng was unable to advance, Xu Zong turned to the officials in the city and shouted: "Xu Xiaowei is greedy for his official title, so he is willing to fight to the death. You are just a follower, and there is no reason to follow him to the pit of fire."
Li Tiao is seeking death..."
Then Xu Zong promised: "If you can open the city and surrender, Liu Annan will not hesitate to reward you. Officials, titles, money, and silk will be at your fingertips."
Xu Sheng looked around and saw that although there was no movement among the soldiers, Xu Zong's words had a certain impact on morale. Xu Sheng knew that he could no longer let Xu Zong disturb the morale of the army with his words, so he laughed and said: "I, General Chaisang, can fight to the death."
If you have the intention and have no scruples, then there is no need to waste words and just retreat."
Seeing that Xu Zong still refused to retreat, Xu Sheng said sternly: "I respect your reputation, so I didn't use any means to expel him. Now my kindness and justice have been exhausted. If your Majesty continues to chatter endlessly and disrupt the morale of our army, don't blame me for being ungrateful!"
After saying this, Xu Zong signaled his left and right hands to raise their bows and draw their crossbows, aiming at Xu Zong.
In his heart, Xu Zong never wanted to stay here and humiliate himself. He asked himself that he had tried his best, but Xu Sheng was determined and unmoved. No wonder he immediately returned to Liu Jing to return his orders.
Liu Jing did not expect Xu Zong to succeed, so he was not disappointed. He continued to fill in the moat step by step, build siege equipment, and prepare for the army to attack the city.
This will be the case for the next three days. The moats in the east and south of the city have been nearly half filled, and they will be completely smoothed out in another five or six days.
In terms of siege equipment, except for the six Linchong (siege towers) that have not yet been completed, the rest of the equipment has begun to take shape.
On the fifth day after Liu Jing arrived at Chaisang, Jiangdong Army finally came to reinforce Chaisang.
The visitor was none other than Taishi Ci. After receiving the news that the Jingzhou army had invaded Chaisang, he quickly gathered his troops and marched 200 miles in three days to the vicinity of Mount Lu.
Taishi Ci stopped in front of Lushan Mountain. He also wanted to rush to Chaisang City in one go. However, the Jingzhou Army had already deployed defenses at the dangerous points of Lushan Mountain. If he ignored it and went straight to Chaisang, his retreat would be cut off by the Jingzhou Army.
It was not him who saved Chai Sang, but Chai Sang who wanted to save him.
Since Pengli Lake was completely under the control of the Jingzhou Army and could launch a surprise attack from the water at any time, Taishi Ci carefully ordered his men to camp far away from Pengli Lake. Of course, it could not be too far away to avoid inconvenience in getting water.
Taishi Ci then took more than ten horses and went out to investigate the enemy's situation.
Coincidentally, Han Guang also led dozens of riders on a patrol, and the two sides suddenly met at the foot of Lushan Mountain.
Taishi Ci recognized the enemy general opposite him at a glance, it was Liu Jing's general Han Guang. Because he was so easy to identify, most military leaders would not dare to ride a white horse for fear of becoming a target, so he did the opposite.
, riding a white horse that is as white as snow and has no trace of color. Anyone who is not blind can guess that he is "White Horse General" Han Guang.
Although Han Guang did not recognize Taishi Ci, he guessed that the only one who could come to rescue Chai Sang so quickly was Taishi Ci who was stationed at Haihun.
Moreover, this man was not only tall and tall, unlike the southerners, but also had a thick and thick beard that was more than a foot long. It was said that Taishi Ci had a "beautiful beard". From this, Han Guang deduced that this person
There is no doubt that the person must be Taishi Ci.
Han Guang was by no means a merciful person. When he followed Yang Ding, he killed countless famous people and heroes in Chang'an, including ministers. Han Guang had no sympathy for Taishi Ci, and just wanted to get rid of him quickly, secretly
He took off a three-hundred-jin strong bow, nocked an arrow, and shot.
Just hearing the sound of "boom", the arrow shot out instantly, as fast as a meteor, and headed straight for Taishi Ci.
Taishi Ci was shocked. He never expected that a warrior with such a prestigious reputation as Han Guang would make a sneak attack without saying a word.
As soon as Taishi Ci made an evasive movement on his horse, the arrow flew in front of him. However, Han Guang's arrow was not aimed at a person, but at the horse, and the horse was immediately hit in the chest.
