Chapter two hundred and forty seventh shocking news
It took two full hours to calm down the chaos in Chaisang City, but there was still chaos in many places in the city, and you could see a turmoil here at a glance. At this time, the military camp stockpiling military rations had turned black.
, the originally piled up food and grass has been burned to pieces.
"General Ling, what's the loss?" Huang Gai looked at Ling Tong with a tired look on his face.
"General Huang, the food and grass in the camp were burned out, but the supplies behind were poured in time and were not affected." Ling Tong was also tired. By then, most of the entire military camp had burned, and the food and grass were extremely strong.
It is impossible to put out the fire when it is flammable. He can only command his soldiers to pour water between food and supplies, so that the baggage does not affect the baggage.
"That's good!" Huang Gai breathed a sigh of relief. He did not expect Ling Tong to save the food and grass. It was the best ending to keep Ling Tong's supplies.
"General Huang, now the food and grass of the army are burned out. What should we do if the food and grass that will be taken to the army tomorrow?" Ling Tong frowned and asked. The food and grass of the 100,000 troops are consumed very quickly, and they will go to the army every three days.
The food and grass will be transported once, and tomorrow will be exactly three days.
"Huh! The burning of food and grass this time is entirely my fault. I will take the blame to my lord. As for the food and grass of the army, I can only take one step at a time. At this time, I need to report to my lord overnight. Now there is only General Ling in the city of Chaisang.
If I can be competent for this matter, I will write down the consequences of this matter, and General Ling handed it over to my lord on my behalf." Huang Gai sighed.
"General Huang doesn't have to worry. Although the general doesn't understand this matter, I think General Huang will not make this mistake for no reason. As long as the general explains the consequences of the matter clearly, I think the lord will definitely understand the general." Ling Tong inspected for one day during the day
Time, I slept very early at night, and I still don’t know what happened. But he knew that Huang Gai had always been cautious and would never make such a mistake for no reason.
Hearing Ling Tong's words, Huang Gai shook his head and did not speak, but took Ling Tong back to the military camp, hurriedly picked up his pen and wrote down the causes and consequences of the matter, and handed it to Ling Tong: "I'll trouble General Ling for this matter.
General Ling must report this matter to his lord as soon as possible, the sooner the better.”
Ling Tong took the bamboo slip and said solemnly: "General Huang, don't worry, I will definitely dare to report this to the lord before the Feilong Guard."
"There are also this bamboo slips, General Ling will hand them over to his lord." As Huang Gai said that, he took them out of his arms. Zhao Yundi shook his head and sighed and handed them to Ling Tong. Zhou Yu's notes on the bamboo slips.
He would never admit his mistake, but Zhou Yu could not betray Jiangdong, and he couldn't understand it either.
Ling Tong took the bamboo slips with some confusion and put them in his arms, bowed to Huang Gai, then turned around and left. At this time, he needed to repay Sun Ce as soon as possible, and Ling Tong did not dare to delay too much.
Seeing Ling Tong leave, Huang Gai sat in the tent and was speechless for a long time. Today he was defeated and fell into the trap of the enemy from beginning to end. Not only did the food and grass of the 100,000 troops in Jiangdong were burned out, but even the most important ones in Jiangdong were
The secret was also leaked.
He has never been as powerless as he has been in war for more than ten years. He has been cautious and cautious, but he still fell into the other party's trick. This made Huang Gai feel a little ashamed. He actually lost to a young man in his twenties.
Outside Jiangxia City, in the Jiangdong Camp, Taishi Ci and Ling Cao who went to attack Xiling and Xiakou had already led their troops to come. The situation was similar to that of Jiangxia. The Jiangdong troops who attacked the two cities also made no progress.
Although there were no generals in the two cities, the soldiers in the city still repelled Jiangdong troops under the command of the Feilong Army.
When they received Sun Ce's order, both of them felt a little sudden. They had already agreed to siege the city for three days, but they were actually recalled by Sun Ce on the first day. Both of them secretly guessed Sun Ce's intention.
When they returned to the camp, they knew the whole story and the two were even more surprised. They thought Sun Ce was dissatisfied with them and wanted to change generals, but they didn't expect to withdraw their troops. When they heard that the withdrawal of troops, they unconsciously let go.
Tone, the two of them were not sure to capture the city within three days. Instead of leaving a pile of corpses under the city and then withdrawing their troops, it would be better to withdraw the troops early.
Unlike others, Taishi Ci and Ling Cao did not have much eagerness to compete for merit. The two have made a lot of contributions under Sun Ce's command, and they don't care about the contributions of this city and a pool. Moreover, although the two are not in line with each other
Political affairs, but also knows Jiangdong's current situation. If Jiangdong has been entangled in Jiangxia for too much time, it would be difficult for him to get out again.
It seems that Jiangdong lost the withdrawal of troops now, but the Jiangdong army captured cities of all sizes across Jiangxia, and there were not many captured soldiers and captured supplies, which were all considered a harvest for Jiangdong.
"Lord, the troops scattered all over the country have gathered and will be able to withdraw their troops tomorrow morning." Zhou Yu said to Sun Ce in the big tent that in addition to Zhou Yu, there were Lu Su and Zhang Hong.
"Well, let's leave this matter to Gongjin. If the troops are withdrawn tomorrow morning, the troops in Jingzhou may be chasing them. At that time, Gongjin and Ziyi will still need to lead the troops to cut off the rear." Sun Ce thought for a while.
"Don't worry, lord, I will definitely not give Jingzhou troops an opportunity to take advantage of it." Zhou Yu bowed.
Dingdengdeng……
The sound of rapid footsteps made the three people in the tent frown. At this time, something must have happened to break into the tent. Seeing that the troops were about to withdraw soon, another incident occurred.
Several people looked up at the door and saw Taishi Ci walking in with an anxious look on his face.
"Lord, see Chaisang Lingtong." Taishici bowed and saw from Lingtong's expression that something must have happened to Chaisang.
"Chaisang?" Several people in the tent were shocked. Ling Tong rushed over overnight and must have had something big in the game.
"Let him in quickly." Sun Ce said hurriedly.
Soon Taishi Ci walked in with Ling Tong with a tired face. Ling Tong was exhausted and three horses were exhausted along the way. He brought more than ten personal guards, but on the way he was going to be a relative.
The guards rushed back and changed horses one by one before they arrived here.
"Lord, the army's food and grass were burned!" Ling Tong walked into the tent and saw Sun Ce, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.
"What?" The people in the tent exclaimed. The food and grass of the 100,000 troops were stored in Chaisang. What are the 100,000 troops now burned to eat? Moreover, Jiangdong General Huang Gai is guarding Chaisang. How can he?
Such a big mistake might have occurred, and the few people in the tent looked unbelievable when they heard Ling Tong's words.
"Lord, this is General Huang's handwritten letter!" Ling Tong took out two bamboo slips from his arms and handed them to Sun Ce.
Although Sun Ce did not believe this, he had to suppress his shock when he saw Ling Tong like this. After taking the bamboo slip, Sun Ce couldn't wait to open it. He finished reading the content on the bamboo slip in just a few seconds, but Sun Ce's expression became more and more
It's getting more and more gloomy.
"Lord?" Zhou Yu reminded Sun Ce without saying a word.
"You can take a look." Sun Ce took a deep breath.
The three of them took Zhu Jian and looked carefully before they understood the whole story. Zhou Yu said in confusion: "I have never ordered anyone to transfer the catapult cart in Chaisang. It seems that General Huang was cheated."
"This matter is not simple. It is impossible for General Huang, Gongjin's name, to know General Huang. There is something strange about it." Zhang Hong shook his head and said.
"And this." At this moment, Sun Ce handed over another bamboo slip.
"Huh?" Zhou Yu and the other two took the bamboo slips and looked surprised. Even Zhou Yu himself was full of surprise. The one above the bamboo slips was clearly his own.
He could not admit his own words. The words on the bamboo slips were indeed written by himself. Zhou Yu was extremely sure of this, but what surprised him was that he didn't remember that he had approved such an order.
"Something is wrong." Lu Su looked at the bamboo slips and suddenly spoke.
"Oh?" Zhou Yu and others looked at Lu Su.
Lu Su pointed to the bamboo slips and said, "This bamboo slip is not a complete bamboo slip, it is pieced together."
After Lu Su said that, the three of them looked at the bamboo slips carefully. Sure enough, the whole bamboo slips were more than ten bamboo sticks. The bamboo slips with his name on the back were obviously old, and the new bamboo slips in front were.
Sun Ce, who was standing beside him, looked surprised. If he hadn't known just now that Zhou Yu would not betray Jiangdong, he would have thought that this bamboo slip was really approved by Zhou Yu.
"Gongjin, think about when did you write the words on the bamboo slip?" Lu Su pointed to the words on the bamboo slip and said.
"I remembered it." Zhou Yu suddenly exclaimed.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Zhou Yu said in annoyance: "This is the agreement I signed with Xu Shu a few months ago."
When he was in Yuzhang County, Xu Shu sent someone to sign an agreement with him, but he was misappropriated here.
"So that's it. I think Zhao Yun must have dismantled Gongjin's word and reassembled it. At that time, General Huang could not see the strangeness of the bamboo slips." Lu Su sighed.
"Who is it? He could actually think of using Gongjin's word to burn the food and grass of our 100,000 troops in Jiangdong." Sun Ce's face looked a little ugly. If he had not planned to withdraw his troops at this time, the news would have reached the army, and the army would have been disintegrated.
If you don’t want to fight again, the soldiers and horses in Jiangdong will have to retreat. At that time, the Feilong Army in Jingzhou will be blocked and killed, and the soldiers and horses in Jiangdong will definitely suffer heavy losses.
"I think the only one who can do this in Jiang Xia is Zhuge Liang." Lu Su thought for a while.
"Is it him?" Zhou Yu and others were all surprised.
Zhuge Liang's talent Lu Su said that although Lu Su had a high opinion of him, several people had never experienced it personally. Now Zhuge Liang burned the food and grass of the 100,000 troops in Jiangdong as soon as he took action. Only then did several people know that Lu Su did not exaggerate it.
Zhuge Liang's talent is indeed extraordinary.
Food and grass have always been the shortcomings of Jiangdong. Now, 100,000 troops went to conquer food and grass. Zhuge Liang seized this weakness and burned the food and grass of the 100,000 troops in Jiangdong in one fell swoop. It can be said that the troops in Jiangdong would not be able to retreat.
