Chapter 141 Xiapi of Internal and External Troubles
Chapter 141: Internal and external troubles in Xiapi
"Hahaha! You're laughing me to death! Gongjin, you really are there, you're laughing me to death!"
Seeing the loaded straw boats returning, Sun Ce couldn't help himself.
This book is really so generous.
I'm afraid that this night, hundreds of thousands of arrows were sent to us in Jiangdong!
How many years will this take?
Being praised by Sun Ce, Zhou Yu was also so excited that he couldn't help himself.
This book is truly brave and foolhardy to the extreme.
I actually got fooled.
How many arrows will be shot?
Moreover, the most important thing is that through this battle, Zhou Yu can completely confirm that Xiang Ji and his Chu army are still in the naval camp on the north bank.
After all, these hundreds of thousands of arrows are probably not easy for the Chu State to come up with, right?
If Xiang Ji was not there and was just serving as a suspect, how could the naval camp have such sufficient arrows to squander?
But the truth is often beyond people's expectations.
It is true that Xiang Ji was not in the Jiangbei Navy camp, but before he left, all the arrows and baggage were left to Jiang Qin.
One was to guard against Jiang Dongjun's temptation, and the other was that Xiang Ji disliked the fact that marching with baggage would affect the speed too much.
Anyway, Xiang Ji's army is still in the Chu Kingdom on the north bank. Logistics and other matters can be easily solved, so the baggage and other things are not important.
As for after crossing the river? That's even simpler. The saying "fighting to support war" is not for nothing.
I don’t have anything to eat myself, why don’t I know how to grab it?
As for Jiang Qin, the commander in charge of defending the Jiangbei Navy camp, he was really expected by Zhou Yu and was indeed extremely brave and reckless.
In Jiang Qin's concept, there is no concept of logistics materials at all. As long as it can attack the enemy, everything else is secondary.
And this happened to cause Zhou Yu to make wrong judgment.
"Bo Fu, from this we can conclude that Xiang Ji and the main force of the Chu army must still be here.
Then we don’t need to worry, we just need to wait for the day when the wind direction changes, that’s when our Jiangdong navy will shock China!”
Just when Sun Ce and Zhou Yu in Jiangdong were in ecstasy and felt at ease, Liu Bei's letter was also delivered to Xiapi City.
"Gongsun Zi, are you crazy? I am the head of the family!"
A tied old man was roaring angrily at a man in his thirties.
And that middle-aged man is Gongsun Zi as the old man calls him.
"Master, you are old and can no longer keep up with the times.
Now that the world is in chaos, shouldn’t our Gongsun family still make a bet?
General Gongsun Zan's branch has been defeated. Fortunately, our Xuzhou Gongsun family has long been separated from him, so it can still be preserved.
But now! How does this book treat our clan now? Do you think we can still stand out under his rule?
Now that Xuande is besieging Xiapi, this is a great opportunity for our Gongsun family!"
Gongsun Zi was full of disdain for the conservative old man in front of him.
A miser, are you satisfied just guarding the three-thirds of an acre of land in front of you?
But you are satisfied, I am not yet satisfied!
Liu Bei has already promised me that as long as I can help him open the city gate, my Gongsun family and Gongsun Zi can be divided into one city.
What is that concept? In an instant, it jumped from such a small clan to a top clan that can be passed down for thousands of years!
I, Gongsun Zi, will definitely be remembered by future generations!
"Master, I am calling you Master for the last time.
I have already replied to Mr. Xuande. Our Gongsun family will open the north gate for him tomorrow.
When the time comes, my Gongsun family and my Gongsun Zi will be immortal forever!
As for you? Let me take you through the last journey of your life!"
After saying that, Gongsun Zi drew out his sword.
"Gongsun Zi! You are crazy! You are crazy! Chu is not as weak as you think, and Liu Bei is not as strong as you think.
You will regret it! You will regret it!"
The old man still hoped to persuade Gongsun Zi in front of him.
However, Gongsun Zi, who was dazzled by the benefits, just sneered and waved the sword in his hand.
"Someone, please clean up this place.
Then, tell them to be prepared, tomorrow will be the time for us to take action."
While Gongsunzi in the city was busy making a coup, Liu Beijun outside the city was not idle either.
"My lord, the letter has been delivered to the city for two days, so Gongsun Zi must be well prepared.
Yong's opinion is that from now on, let the two generals attack the north gate continuously to paralyze the Chu army and create opportunities for Gongsun Zi."
Looking at his substitute military advisor Jian Yong, Liu Bei felt helpless.
Hey, Gongtai, where have you been? Why have I been looking for you since Yangdu was defeated?
Obviously, Liu Bei did not know that his military advisor had defected to Chu and had now crossed the river with Xiang Ji.
As for Jian Yong in front of him, Liu Bei, who had no military advisor, could only choose the taller one.
Regarding Jian Yong, Liu Bei really wanted to go up and kick him.
I specifically told Gongsun Zi to open the north gate, and then you asked our army to attack the north gate in the past two days? Doesn't this make it more difficult for Gongsun Zi?
We are going to attack by force. Naturally, the Chu State’s military strength will be concentrated at the north gate. How can we talk about opening the city gate?
"Xianhe, this is inappropriate, this plan is inappropriate.
You go and inform the second general and the third general, tell them that our army will suspend the attack on the city today.
At Xu time tomorrow, let the two generals lead their troops to attack the west gate and the south gate respectively.
At the beginning of Haishi, let the two generals start to assemble the troops towards the north gate one by one. When Gongsun Zi successfully opens the city gate, our army will have the opportunity to seize the city in one fell swoop."
What kind of military advisor? You are so inferior to me.
No, absolutely not. After I win Xiapi, I will research a reliable military advisor no matter what.
"General, the Qingzhou Army has retreated. It seems they can't hold it anymore!"
Standing at the top of the city, looking at the Qingzhou Army retreating like a tide, Taishi Cihao suddenly became angry.
What Liu Bei? What Qingzhou Army? What Guan Yu and Zhang Fei? Haven’t they been repulsed by me again?
Now it seems that there is no problem in guarding Xiapi. With the strength and quality of the Qingzhou Army, haha.
But Taishi Ci didn't know that a conspiracy against Xiapi City was unfolding.
However, the Gongsun family, the initiator, was not among the seventeen clans detected by Pei Yuanshao.
Shu said, "Xiapi City, Xu Shi."
Without any warning, in the middle of the night, Qingzhou Liu Bei's army launched a strong attack on both the east and west troops of Xiapi City.
"Quickly, mobilize two thousand troops from the south gate and north gate to reinforce the east gate."
Taishi Ci personally sits in charge of Ximen, so there is no need to worry about safety.
But at the east gate, the fierce general Zhang Fei personally led his troops to attack, so Tai Shi Ci couldn't help but worry.
Damn it, is this Liu Beijun crazy? Attacking the city at night?
