(Happy Children’s Day, the first day of the new moon. Please give me a guaranteed monthly ticket, thank you)
Sun Quan wants to kill Zhang Zhao!
From Lu Su on down, everyone was shocked.
Who is Zhang Zhaona? He is a famous person in the world, an important minister of the Sun family, and the most famous elder among the ministers in Jiangdong.
In the past, Sun Quan had great respect for Zhang Zhao. Even if he was lectured by Zhang Zhao in person, he had to obey him and pretend to be taught.
Now, Sun Quan wants to kill Zhang Zhao.
At this moment, even Zhang Zhao was stunned, as if he couldn't believe that Sun Quan would give such an order.
"My lord, Mr. Zibu is just making a suggestion. It is absolutely impossible for my lord to surrender to Yan Liang, but Su believes that Mr. Zibu will not be punished to death."
Although Zhang Zhao had always looked down on Lu Su, Lu Su still stood up to intercede for Zhang Zhao at this time.
Unexpectedly, Sun Quan glared angrily, slapped the table and shouted: "Lu Su, shut up! I have decided to kill this ungrateful old man. Whoever dares to persuade you again will be killed by me next!"
Sun Quan was drunk and emboldened, and his anger blinded his mind. Only anger remained in his eyes, and he could not listen to anyone's words.
Lu Su also knew that Sun Quan was drunk and his mind was a little unclear. If he tried to persuade him again, he would be in danger of his life.
In desperation, Lu Su had no choice but to shut his mouth, not daring to say anything anymore.
"What are you doing standing still? If you don't take action quickly, do you want me to kill you all?" Sun Quan shouted at the pro-army soldiers standing around the palace.
The expressions of the pro-soldiers all changed. They were afraid of being harmed and did not dare to hesitate any longer. They quickly stepped forward to control Zhang Zhao.
At this time, Zhang Zhao's face turned pale, with a look of horror on his face, and he shouted urgently: "I am very loyal to my lord, and the sun and the moon can prove it. Please show me your mercy, lord."
At the critical moment of life and death, Zhang Zhao no longer dared to act like an elder, and only begged Sun Quan for mercy in fear.
The drunk Sun Quan had his mind occupied by alcohol and anger. There was only hatred and anger in his eyes, nothing else.
Hearing Zhang Zhao's begging for mercy, Sun Quan just thought he was farting and turned around, not wanting to even look at Zhang Zhao again.
"Lord...Lord, please listen to this old man's explanation -" Zhang Zhao was so shocked that he screamed for mercy.
Sun Quan was indifferent, while Lu Su could only look helpless as he watched Zhang Zhao being dragged away.
Zhang Zhao's shouts gradually faded away, and silence returned to the hall. Everyone inside was frightened and in danger. Even Lu Su was secretly wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
After Sun Quan killed Zhang Zhao, his anger subsided a little and he sat back on his seat.
Looking at the trembling people below the steps, Sun Quan seemed to find pleasure in it, and his face improved a lot.
"Lu Zijing." Sun Quan suddenly said.
Lu Su was startled and hurriedly took a few steps forward.
"I will leave the matter of guarding Moling to you. You must not let me down again, otherwise..." Sun Quan did not say it explicitly, but the threat behind his words was undoubtedly revealed.
Lu Su's heart was shocked, and a sense of terror rose from the soles of his feet. How could he not feel the hidden meaning of Sun Quan's words?
Not daring to think too much, Lu Su hurriedly said: "Don't worry, my lord, Su will do his best this time, defend Moling to the death, and never let that thief Yan Liang set foot in Moling City."
After hearing Lu Su's generous expression of loyalty, Sun Quan was satisfied and waved his hand impatiently to signal Lu Su to retreat.
Lu Su, who was trembling in his heart, hurriedly exited the hall as if he had been granted amnesty.
After killing one and frightening another, Sun Quan's face actually showed a bit of pride, he waved his hand and shouted: "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Bring me some wine!"
…
Two days later, south of Moling City.
Inside Yan Jun's camp, high fighting spirit filled the air. Tens of thousands of soldiers were sharpening their swords and preparing to attack the Wu dogs in the city.
In the Chinese army's tent, Yan Liangzheng was sighing with emotion as he took the intelligence he had just obtained.
"I didn't expect that this blue-eyed man was so ruthless that he actually killed Zhang Zhao. He was indeed ruthless."
The information in hand was secretly sent by the heroes in Moling City who secretly communicated with Yan Liang. Since Yan Liang launched a massive psychological offensive, many people in Moling City have begun to express their goodwill to Yan Liang in private, and they have actively acted as Yan Liang's spies and spies.
.
The news that Sun Quan was angry and betrayed his important minister Zhang Zhao had already shocked the entire city's soldiers and civilians, and the informants quickly sent this information to Yan Liang.
"I heard that Sun Quan has been drinking heavily recently, and he often has his subordinates operated on, but this time he actually killed Zhang Zhao, which is a bit unexpected." Pang Tong sighed.
After a pause, Pang Tong continued: "But having said that, Zhang Zhao is an important minister of the Sun family and a prestigious elder. I didn't expect that he would persuade Sun Quan to surrender. This thing is beyond my expectation."
"Humph, Zhang Zhao only has a false reputation, he is just this kind of person." Yan Liang said disdainfully.
Historically, before the Battle of Chibi began, Cao Cao sent a letter of war to Soochow, and Zhang Zhao, a veteran, was the first to jump out and persuade Sun Quan to surrender. Now that Moling is besieged, Sun Quan is in danger, and Zhang Zhao is "repeating history".
It was normal for Yan Liang to persuade Sun Quan to surrender.
The so-called celebrities are just ordinary people.
All the civil and military officials present, whether they were old officials of the Sun family such as Lu Meng or generals such as Gan Ning, were all ashamed of Zhang Zhao's actions.
At this time, Lu Meng said happily: "My lord, now that Sun Quan is depressed and Zhang Zhao is killed, people in the city must be frightened. Our psychological offensive has achieved results. Since the end of the general, now is the time to attack the city with a two-pronged approach."
.”
As soon as Lu Meng made his remarks, the other generals including Ling Tong generously asked for battle.
Everything is ready, so Yan Liang still has no hesitation.
He stood up in a hurry, looked around the generals, and said loudly: "Send the order, tomorrow morning, all the troops will be mobilized, and let me concentrate the troops to break the stone city first."
The order to attack was finally given, and all the generals were excited.
At the end of the military campaign, the generals returned to their camps with excitement and conveyed Yan Liang's order for the general attack.
After the whole army had eaten well and rested for a night, before dawn the next day, the generals and soldiers left the camp in an orderly manner and marched towards the determined attack position according to the predetermined plan.
In the misty sky, Yan Liang was riding a black war horse, carrying a long sword that drank countless blood, wearing heavy armor, and a red cloak on his back. He slowly stepped out of the gate and headed towards the south of Moling.
Looking around, the flags cover the sky and the sun, and the big flags are flying in the morning wind, one after another like angry waves.
With thick black armor and forests of swords and halberds, 20,000 high-spirited Yan family soldiers lined up in front of Stone City.
Countless pairs of fierce eyes stared at the enemy city as if they were staring at delicious prey.
Yan Liang stood in front of the horse formation, standing tall and majestic. Looking at the towering city in the distance, a strong and passionate feeling burned like fire in his heart.
Right in front of us is Moling City, which has many famous names in history.
Jianye, Jiankang, Jinling, Yingtian, Nanjing...
The ancient capitals of the Six Dynasties, the cities of the Ten Dynasties, and many dynasties that emerged in the south would all, without exception, set their capitals in this royal city.
Yan Liang had to admit that Sun Quan still had some vision. It was from him that Moling City began to become the political and economic center of the south. And the majestic Moling City in front of him took Sun Quan a lot of thought and trouble to build.
"Sun Quan, thank you for building me a king's capital. Now that the real master has come, you can get out."
Yan Liang's far-sighted vision, the pride and wildness of hunting, burst out from within, unbridled.
After watching the enemy for a long time, Yan Liang pointed at the enemy city with his long sword and shouted: "All troops, attack -"
War drums sounded like thunder, and the horn of attack drowned out the rolling river waves. The 20,000 siege troops waiting in formation began to slowly advance towards Stone City.
Moling City was built on the mountain. It is located in a beautiful place and the city is extremely strong. It is very difficult to attack from other sides.
On all sides of the city, only the terrain in the south was not very dangerous, so Sun Quan built a stone city here as a barrier to the south of Moling.
If you want to take Moling, you must first destroy the stone city.
"The trench-filling team goes first, the crossbowmen are in the middle, and the city-raising team is in the back. Each army advances in turn, and I fight for the Stone City——"
Gan Ning brandished his halberds, galloped his horses back and forth, and commanded a vanguard of ten thousand men to advance to the left flank.
On the right wing, Ling Tong commanded another team of ten thousand people, approaching the east of Stone City at the same time.
When the two siege teams were approaching Stone City in a mighty manner, more than 400 Thunderbolt Chariots deployed at the top of the city had already launched a violent bombardment on the enemy city in advance.
Stones the size of bull heads drew arcs and blasted towards the enemy city with the sound of breaking wind.
Mountains collapsed and the ground cracked, stone debris flew everywhere, and the sky and earth almost changed color.
Lu Su on the top of the city and the four thousand Wu troops under his command were all squatting under the corner, panicking to avoid the rain of stones.
This stone city is different from ordinary earth-built cities. Its city walls are made of rocks from the mountains near Moling, which is much stronger than the earth city walls. The bullets struck by thunderbolt stones on the city wall are actually only louder than the thunder and the raindrops.
However, the spectacular sight of hundreds of stone bullets falling down at the same time had an excellent deterrent effect, so much so that the Wu army did not dare to show their heads.
Under the cover of Pili chariots, the trench-filling team of thousands of Yan troops successfully reached the moat.
Stone City has river water, and the depth of the water in the several-foot-wide moat is unpredictable, making it difficult to fill it with ordinary filling methods.
These thousands of trench-filling teams, including nearly thirty trench bridges, quickly set up trench bridges on both sides of the river, building a passage directly to the enemy wall.
More than a thousand crossbowmen who arrived later quickly passed through the trench bridge and took up shooting positions. They aimed their arrows at the top of the city, preparing to use arrows to suppress the enemy's counterattack at the top of the city.
At the same time, the main force of the rear team, the city promotion team, carried ladders, pushed rams and other siege equipment, and rushed toward the city wall with shouts.
Accompanied by loud chants, nearly a hundred ladders were erected, and the Yan Jun soldiers, burning with passion, climbed up the ladders without hesitation.
At the city gate, a loud roar shook the earth, and more than a hundred soldiers pushed the carts and began to slam into the huge city gate.
Along the city's front line, 20,000 Yanjun soldiers have launched a full-scale attack.
Lu Su, who was cowering at the top of the city, knew that the situation had reached its most critical moment, so he had no choice but to stand up despite the arrows fired from the city.
He plucked up the courage and ran on the front line of the city, shouting: "All men, stand up for me, block the enemy's attack, and fight bloody battle for my lord to the end -" (To be continued. Please search for Piao Tian Literature, novels Better updates faster!)
