Chapter 71: Son of Ling Cao
After a while, he saw Ling Cao being tied up and pressed up. Liu Xun immediately feigned anger and said: "Asshole, who tied General Ling like this? Why don't you untie General Ling quickly?"
The attendants on the left and right were stunned and quickly stepped forward to loosen the rope for Ling Cao.
Under the protection of Gan Ning, Liu Xun showed a false smile and enthusiastically stepped forward to hold Ling Cao's hand, looking like a good man like Long Yang.
"You, you, why are you looking at me like that!" Ling Cao looked at Liu Xun's expression and subconsciously wanted to shake off Liu Xun's hand.
It's a pity that I can't let go...
What's going on with this passionate atmosphere?
"General, don't get excited, I didn't do anything!" Liu Xun was shocked, and then said with some confusion, but he never let go of his hand.
Ling Cao had never seen such strong winds and waves, and even if he was told to die immediately, he would not frown. He felt that no one or anything in this world could scare him. But at this moment, looking at the look in Liu Xun's eyes, he
Feeling a little guilty, he was scared at this moment.
In panic, Ling Cao shouted: "Stay away from me, don't touch me."
Liu Xun was stunned for a moment before he could react, and said to himself: "I didn't do anything to you, the prefect. Could it be that my hand was too strong? Isn't it possible that a general is so afraid of pain?"
Liu Xun quickly let go of his hand and said very gently: "General, don't get excited, can't you do it if I don't move?
Ling Cao snorted coldly and took a step back, as if Liu Xun was a ferocious beast.
"By the way, let me ask the general something. Do you have a precious son named Ling Tong? Where is he now?"
Ling Cao was immediately shocked and turned pale and said angrily: "What do you want to do? I won't let you get your wish even if I die."
Liu Xun couldn't help but said depressedly: "General, don't get excited. I just heard people say that he is very brave, and I want to take him under my account and train him well."
Ling Cao tied the knot and said in confusion, "Really...really?"
Liu Xun couldn't help but cursed angrily: "Nonsense, do I need to lie to one of your defeated generals? What a big joke."
Although Ling Cao was arranged like this by Liu Xun, he was not angry because of it. Instead, he was relieved in his heart. "Although I, Ling Cao, am the defeated general today, you don't have to threaten me with my son, even if you kill me."
It’s impossible for me to be loyal to you. What’s more, if this matter gets out, it will not be a good thing for you, the prefect..."
Seeing that Ling Cao was so stubborn, Liu Xun had no choice but to say calmly: "Humph, I don't need you as a defeated army to tell me what to do."
Then Liu Xun ordered those around him: "Come here, untie General Ling, take him down and serve him well."
Liu Xunxin said, "If you didn't dare to yell at me like this for Ling Tong's sake, I would have to kill you."
After meeting Ling Cao, Liu Xun had already figured out how to deceive Ling Tong. After all, his father was defeated and captured. I believe it won't be long before everyone in Jiangdong will know. If someone is sent to find him,
Ling Tong's personality will definitely come. If he really doesn't come, Liu Xun won't care.
Even if a person who can ignore his own father cultivates him into a talented person, he is still a white-eyed wolf and does not mean much to him. After all, when he was in power, no one dared to stand up and rebel. The main reason for recruiting Ling Tong was
Think about your own children and grandchildren.
And in this age, with the power and strength, can't I cultivate some people who are better than Ling Tong? It's just that Ling Tong has a good foundation and is easier to cultivate, so that I can spend less energy, that's all.
After handling these matters, Liu Xun still had a more important thing to do, which was to capture Moling City. Although Lu Meng and his main force had been destroyed, there were still Jiangdong remnants defending the city. In order to reduce unnecessary casualties, Liu Xun
Xun did not choose to attack the city immediately.
. Instead, he released the news that Lu Meng was defeated and captured by himself. After the defenders in the city lost all confidence, they could fight. This was also the case. Before Liu Xun sent his army to attack the city, the civilians who were originally assisting on the city tower
Afraid of being held accountable by Liu Xun, he ran away early.
Moling City is more than seven feet high. After many consecutive bloody attacks and defenses, the top and bottom of the city walls have become stained with blood. The many broken limbs that have not been cleared away are shocking.
There is an unwritten rule in this era. After the siege stops, the siege will send civilians to collect the corpses. At this time, the defenders will not take the initiative to attack the civilians. After all, the offensive and defensive battles will last for a long time, and once the corpses are allowed to rot,
The plague will inevitably spread, which will have disastrous consequences for both offense and defense.
Facing the densely packed Lujiang army outside the city, the deafening shouts of killing, and the sound of iron hoofs that shook the houses, everyone was panic-stricken and restless. The civilians in Moling City had never seen such a huge battle.
If there hadn't been Lu Meng's army pressing down before, they would have run away long ago and wouldn't have waited until now.
Even the nobles in the city believed that Sun Quan was likely to lose to Liu Xun, so they gave up Moling. Even if they did not give up voluntarily, they were blocked by Liu Xun's army in Kuaiji. In short, Moling had no reinforcements at all in a short period of time. Facing the situation,
With tens of thousands of tiger and wolf troops, it was only a matter of time before Moling was breached.
It is precisely because of this kind of thinking that many nobles in Moling refused to help Chen Wu defend the city, so as not to anger the Lujiang army attacking the city. If they climbed the city wall to assist Jiangdong's defense, they might provoke the Lujiang army to attack the city.
Then they carried out a retaliatory massacre of the city. That would be a disaster for the Moling nobles.
After losing the support of the people and nobles in Moling, the morale of the Jiangdong Army defending the city dropped sharply. This could not help but make Chen Wu worried.
Due to the wrong strategy of taking the initiative to meet the enemy, Lü Meng led 2,000 troops to sneak attack the Lujiang Army camp. Even though three powerful generals Lü Meng, Pan Zhang and Ling Cao came out, they were still defeated. Almost all the troops he brought out were defeated.
The army was wiped out. Less than a hundred people ran back, and now there were less than a thousand people left in the city.
In desperation, Chen Wu could only change his strategy and defend the city with all his strength.
However, facing the powerful offensive of the Lujiang Army, the invincible Lujiang Army won consecutive battles and their morale was as high as a rainbow. Chen Wu was very desperate about this.
Before that, Lu Meng asked his bodyguard to take thirty cavalry to break out and go to Kuaiji to ask for reinforcements. However, so long has passed, and no reinforcements have been seen until now. Moling is now completely isolated from the outside world and cannot be received at all.
When I heard any news, I could only see migratory birds returning from the north flying overhead.
