Chapter 328
Even if Sun Quan knew about Zhang Wu's strategy, he had nothing to do, because he could neither stop the rain nor dare to go out of the city to destroy the earthen wall. He could only wait for the Jingzhou army to enter the city, or wait for God's help.
If all goes well, Wu County will soon be taken, and Sun Quan will perish.
Zhang Wu began to think about other things.
After the city was broken, Sun Quan couldn't stay any longer, otherwise there would be great hidden dangers, and Sun Quan's behavior of beheading the envoy really annoyed Zhang Wu.
But if Zhang Wu killed Sun Quan himself, there would be some troubles.The Sun family has ruled in Jiangdong for such a long time, there must be many people who are loyal to the Sun family, if they secretly want to avenge the Sun family, it will add a lot of trouble.
Moreover, Zhang Wu also planned to recruit a group of civil and military talents from Jiangdong. If he personally killed Sun Quan, people like Lu Su and Lu Meng who were used by Sun Quan might rather die than surrender.
Therefore, after several days of heavy rain, Zhang Wu suddenly rushed back to Xiangyang on the grounds that Xiahou Dun of Wancheng intended to attack Fancheng, and ordered Guan Yu to temporarily command the army to continue the siege of the city.
With so many main forces fighting outside, according to the unspoken rules in the officialdom, the master will definitely send his confidants to supervise, so Zhang Wu sent Huang She to the army to serve as the supervisor.
However, in the last battle between the Jiangdong navy and the Jingzhou navy, Jiangdong fierce general Ling Tong was captured alive by Gan Ning, and was later sent to Xiangyang by Zhang Wu to be dealt with by Huang She.
Huang She knew that it was his boss who asked him to take revenge, and he was very grateful to Zhang Wu. Immediately, he ordered Ling Tong's tendons in his hands and hamstrings to be cut off, and then locked with an iron cable through the lute bone.
Then, Huang She brought several family guards who had fought with Huang Zu back then, and escorted Ling Tong to Huang Zu's tomb outside Jiangxia City, executed Ling Tong himself, chopped off his head and placed it in front of the grave .
Huang She cried bitterly, then laughed, he finally got his revenge!In his mind, killing Ling Tong would be considered revenge. As for Sun Quan, he had never thought about it.Because Sun Quan is the lord of Jiangdong after all, and the Sun family has ruled Jiangdong for three generations and is deeply rooted. Even if Zhang Wu defeats Sun Quan, he certainly cannot leave Sun Quan to him.
How to deal with Sun Quan is Zhang Wu's business, and Huang She has never expected it.
Now that he was suddenly asked to serve as a supervisor in the frontline army, Huang She was a little confused.
But on the night before Huang She's departure, his good friend Mi Heng came to visit Huang's house suddenly. Of course, the two were both pen pals and drinking buddies. Usually, Mi Heng often came to Huang She's house to drink and chat. At that time, he still lived in Huangshe's mansion.
This time, Mi Heng didn't drink and chat with Huang She, but let Huang She take him to a secret place, and the two whispered a few words.
The next day, Huang She took several guards from the mansion, and under the protection of a school lieutenant and [-] soldiers sent by the general's mansion, they took a boat to the Chinese army tent outside Wu County.
At this time, everything was ready, and the stagnant water outside Wu County could already float a warship.Of the [-] Jingzhou soldiers, Zhang Fei led [-] troops to garrison the hills in the north of the city to prevent the enemy from fleeing. Zhao Yun led [-] cavalry to garrison in Yuquan County (Jiaxing) to guard against He Qi in Kuaiji County.The rest of the [-] troops were already ready, and when the water of Taihu Lake was settled, they took a boat and went straight to the top of the wall.
Although Guan Yu is now the commander-in-chief of the army, Huang She is the supervisor sent by Zhang Wu, and Huang She's status is not low. He is not only the head of the Huang family, but also Zhuge Liang's uncle, and Zhang Wu's confidant.
Therefore, it is of course necessary to ask his opinion before taking major military actions.
Huang She said: "General Guan, Master Pang, before I came, my lord once told me that the decision to fight the war is completely up to the two of you. Once the city is broken, I will do the work of soothing people's hearts."
Guan Yu said: "Well, if you have no other objections, make preparations. After an hour, the embankment will be broken and the water will be released, and the ministries will launch an attack as planned!"
"Yes!" All the generals took orders and left.
Although Guan Yu didn't know why Zhang Wu would suddenly return to Xiangyang at this moment, and even sent a supervising army over, as far as he knew, there was no information in the army that Xiahou Dun was going to attack Fancheng.As a general, Guan Yu didn't want to think too much about those political matters, as long as he fought well.
In Qiantang County, the prefecture of Kuaiji County, He Qi and Lu Xun couldn't sit still after learning that Jingzhou soldiers built a wall to surround Wu County.
The Jingzhou Army built a wall to besiege Wu County for so many days, He Qi and Lu Xun also received the information, and with Lu Xun's cleverness, he could guess what Zhang Wu wanted to do, so he told He Qi about the Jingzhou Army's intentions, and said that Wu County is now in danger .
It has been raining heavily for several days, the rivers in Wu County are full of water, the water of Taihu Lake is soaring, and the terrain of Wu County is low. If the Jingzhou army is really allowed to flood the city with water from Taihu Lake, even if it can't break the city wall, the water will definitely Over the city.
At that time, the Jingzhou army will attack by boat, and the defenders in Wu County will no longer be able to resist.
He Qi discussed with Lu Xun about sending troops to rescue Sun Quan. He planned to send troops, and desperately wanted to destroy the earthen wall outside Wu County.
Lu Xun thought that not long ago when he returned home, a mysterious person suddenly came to visit, and that person actually held the seal of the governor of Jiangdong in his hand!
Lu Xun was shocked and quickly took the man to a secluded place to question him in detail, because he knew that this matter must not be simple.
Sure enough, the man claimed to be Liao Li, a native of Wuling, who is currently serving as a member of the Zhennan General's House. He was ordered by Zhennan General and Jingzhou Mu Zhang Wu to visit Lu Xun.
Such a top-secret meeting, of course, would not bring any letters, because with Lu Xun's intelligence, no letters were needed at all. As long as Liao Li saw Lu Xun, the matter would basically be completed.
As soon as Lu Xun heard that Liao Li reported his family name, he knew why he came. If it was before the Battle of Chibi, he would not hesitate to take this person down and hand him over to Sun Quan for disposal.If it was after the Battle of Chibi and before the Battle of Moling, he would politely send this person away as if he had never seen him before.
But now, Jiangdong's ship is beyond repair, and it is about to sink.Even if he doesn't care about his own life and future, he still has to think about his family. His entire family of the Lu family is now in Wu County.
Liao Li didn't say a word to persuade him to surrender, but said: "My lord once said that Lu Boyan's talent is comparable to that of Zhou Gongjin, and Zhou Yu was my lord's most feared opponent. Zhou Yu is here, Jiang Dong is here; Zhou Yu's death, Jiangdong died."
These two sentences actually have two meanings. The first meaning is that Zhang Wu is very optimistic about Lu Xun. With Zhang Wu's world-famous knowledge of people, he can say such words, so it's hard for Lu Xun not to be famous.The second meaning is that although you are very talented and can even be compared with Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu died at the hands of Zhang Wu, so you can figure it out yourself.
Afterwards, Liao Li left the seal of the governor of Jiangdong at Lu Xun's residence and left.
This seal used to belong to Zhou Yu, and later Cheng Pu was given to Cheng Pu by Sun Quan after Cheng Pu succeeded the governor of Jiangdong.After Cheng Pu's death in battle, Lu Su took Dadu Yin into Moling City, and fell into Zhang Wu's hands after the fall of Moling City.
