Sun Ben never went to bed to rest at night. He kept waiting for news. At the right time, he finally got the news of the unusual movement in the Jingzhou military camp.
Most of Yuzhang's civil and military officials had no rest at this time, so Sun Ben led everyone up to the Songyang Gate Tower again. He saw that the lights of the Jingzhou military camp in the distance were dim, and it seemed no different from usual, and it didn't look like there was any big movement.
Sun Ben thought he had seen through the Jingzhou army's plan, and laughed in his heart: "Yichun is very important to the Chu thieves, and there is no room for failure. The Chu thieves must have been anxious at this moment, but they were afraid that I would notice something, so they did not dare to mobilize their troops during the day.
If you send a general, you will only dare to return reinforcements quietly at night."
Yuzhang Civil and Military Affairs are still kept in the dark by Sun Ben. There are a lot of discussions about this. Some people guess that the Jingzhou Army will attack Nanchang at night, some guess that they will attack the East Lake Camp at night, and some guess that they will divide their troops to attack surrounding counties to further isolate Nanchang.
Yes, anyway, there are all kinds of things, just to name a few.
In the end, it was Sun Bi himself who revealed the answer to the mystery. Both the civil and military officials in Yuzhang were shocked and became even more excited. Recently, the pressure brought by the Jingzhou Army on them has been too great.
In the north, Liu Jing's army defeated Pengze, Liling, and Chaisang, defeated Taishi Ci, and reached Haihun, which was only a hundred miles away from Nanchang.
What is the concept of Baili?
A normal march only takes two days, and a forced march can take one day.
A few days ago, they lost the news about Haihun. The only good thing was that Liu Jing's army did not appear in Nanchang, which meant that although Haihun was besieged, it did not fall.
The defenders at Haihun were all the elite troops of Taishi Ci, and their families were all in the city. Therefore, everyone was determined to defend the city to the death. With the strength of the Jingzhou army, it would be difficult to conquer it for a while.
However, the number of the Haihun defenders was limited after all. Faced with the siege of the Jingzhou Army that was dozens of times larger than ours, it was only a matter of time before the city fell.
In fact, not only Haihun, but also Shanyang and Poyang counties have also lost news recently.
The counties are no better than the sea, the cities are small and there are few soldiers, and nine out of ten have fallen or surrendered.
To the north of Nanchang, except for Haihun, only the remote counties of Ai and Xi, guarded by Taishi Ci, are still holding on. They escaped because Liu Jing was temporarily out of reach.
Not to mention Zhuge Liang in the west. Due to Yuzhang's neglect of defense in the west, Zhuge Liang swept through the entire western and southern parts of Yuzhang almost without a single blow, killing all the way to Nanchang City with overwhelming force.
It is no exaggeration to say that Yuzhang has been completely dismembered by the two armies of Liu Jing and Zhuge Liang, and has fallen into a fragmented situation. All counties, including the county governance of Nanchang, can only fall into a situation of fighting on their own. The critical situation is evident.
What's even more frightening to Yuzhang Wenwu is that once Liu Jing and Zhuge Liang complete the siege of Nanchang, everyone will shudder just thinking about it, it will really be death but not life!
The civil and military forces of Yuzhang had pinned their hopes on Sun Quan's reinforcements from Wu, but as Pengze and Chaisang fell one after another, the entrance to the Yangtze River, Pengli Lake, and the northern section of Ganshui River all fell into the hands of the Jingzhou army.
They were very doubtful that the Wu reinforcements were really capable of defeating Liu Jing, breaking through the heavy blockade of the Jingzhou Army, and rushing to rescue Nanchang?
If the Jiangdong Army had such astonishing combat effectiveness, how could they have been beaten so badly by Huang Zu in Jiangxia last year that they would have lost their armor and returned in defeat.
The civil and military officials in Yuzhang also had high hopes for Sun Fu, the prefect of Luling. After all, Sun Ben and Sun Fu had always been brothers. If Yuzhang was in trouble, Sun Fu would never sit idly by. What disappointed them was that Sun Fu was so late.
There was no movement.
Only now did they know that Sun Fu did not refuse to save him, but Sun Ben was worried about leaks and hid the news from everyone.
Sun Ben's various puzzling actions in the past have also been fully explained.
If they can take this opportunity to defeat Zhuge Liang in one fell swoop and lift the siege of Nanchang, they will be able to calmly deal with Liu Jing in the north. Then they will join forces with the Wu reinforcements and attack from both sides, one from the south and the other from the north. Why not worry about being unable to drive away Liu Jing and regain all the lost territory?
?
At that time, a commander with a face full of excitement suggested: "General, when the Chu thieves heard that their way back was cut off, they were frightened and wanted to retreat, and they no longer had the intention to fight. Why not take the opportunity to send elite troops to attack their camp at night?"
…”
"No!"
Liu 1 didn't wait for the Sima to finish speaking, and immediately objected: "Zhuge Liang is Liu Jing's general. His army marches like the wind, stops like a mountain, and his troops are organized neatly. He sets up camps, forts, barriers, and fences...all
Ying Shengmo."
Liu Yi paused and continued: "It can be seen from this that Zhuge Liang is a cautious man in using his troops. How can he not take precautions if he sneaks back to support him? There must be an ambush in the camp. The Ming government hastily attacked his camp at night, and they may fall into it.
Zhuge Liang is plotting."
Sima said with a look of disdain: "Young officials don't know how to fight, so it's not appropriate to talk about military affairs. How can you defeat the enemy if you are timid?"
Sun Ben scolded Sima Dao: "Don't talk nonsense. Liu Junnai's mature and prudent words coincide with mine." He also believed that the Chu thieves would not be careless enough to neglect precautions. At this time, he sent people to raid his camp and most likely to attack him.
Not good.
Seeing the dissatisfaction on the faces of the generals, Sun Ben said again: "Although the Chu thieves are in turmoil, their camp is well-kept and they can defend themselves. It is extremely difficult to defeat the Chu thieves through a night attack. It is better to wait for them to divide their troops to return reinforcements, and then make a move
Cut off the enemy and force the Chu thieves to come out for a decisive battle!"
This time, no matter the civil servants or military generals, no one objected, because they knew very well that this was their only way to save themselves, and they had to defeat Zhuge Liang's army outside the city before Liu Jing's army arrived in Nanchang.
In the middle of the night, the scouts outside the city reported that the Chu army's defenses were getting tighter, that the scouts and cavalry were out in all directions, and that there were large groups of soldiers and horses leaving the camp and heading south.
The monarchs and ministers of Yuzhang all expressed their congratulations with their foreheads and hands.
However, their good mood only lasted one night. During the day, warships from outside the city suddenly reported that more than ten Jingzhou warships had entered the waters near Nanchang from the north.
Although this small fleet was quickly driven away by its own warships, Yuzhang's monarchs and ministers still looked down upon each other, because this indicated that Liu Jing's army was getting closer and closer to Nanchang.
Sun Ben suppressed his restlessness and waited for another day to ensure that the Chu thieves returning to Yichun had gone far and had no time to rush back. Then he sent an order to Han Dang and Jiang Qin of the East Lake Camp, telling them to lead the army southward with great fanfare.
He claimed to the outside world that he would cut off the military supply route in Jingzhou after leaving.
The reaction of the Jingzhou Army was slightly "hesitant" and they were obviously unwilling to fight at this time. However, they were finally concerned about their retreat and had to take the bait. They sent thousands of infantry and cavalry to intercept Han Dang and Jiang Qin. The two sides faced off south of Nanchang, with Jingzhou Camp to the south.
East.
"My plan has come true!" Sun Ben was overjoyed to see that the Chu thieves finally left the camp as they wished. He immediately left more than a thousand soldiers to guard the city, led 8,000 infantry and cavalry, opened the city gates, and rushed to the battlefield.
"My plan has come true." Zhuge Liang looked at Sun Ben personally leading the army and marching out, and smiled at Xu Shu, Yang Yi and others.
