Zhou Yu is dead!

Which one is true or false?

An opportunity to kill!

This was the first thought that popped into Le Jin's mind when he heard the news.

Who doesn’t appreciate the talent of the Jiangdong Governor?

Cao Zixiao, who was famous for being the first to capture the battle, was beaten into a huddled general in Nanjun and eventually abandoned the city and fled.

Le Jin, who has the same style, was alert as soon as he arrived in Xiangyang.

In just two months, countless messages came in:

Some people say that Zhou Yu's achievements are so great that Sun Quan is very afraid.

It is said that Zhou Yu gathered troops in Baqiu and wanted to enter Yizhou and establish himself.

It is even said that Sun Quan gave Jiangling to Liu Bei, which is ridiculous!

Having the courage to get there first does not mean that Le Jin is a reckless man who is willing to risk his own life in every battle and survive until now. On the contrary, it is because he is cautious enough.

After taking two more mouthfuls of soup cakes, he put down the bowl and wiped his beard. Le Jin motioned to the soldiers to read the information.

News came from Hefei that Zhou Yu died of illness. Jiangdong generals and ministers all went to Dantu to mourn.

Le Jin closed his eyes and said nothing for a moment:

Send scouts to explore the city defenses of Dangyang, Jingyang, and Jiangling.

Here!

After the soldiers were ordered to leave, Le Jin stood up and pulled out the iron knife from the beam on the side.

Strong generals usually use spears, but if they attack the city first, long swords are better.

A faint cold light shone on Le Jin's body, and he flicked the blade with satisfaction, making a clanging sound.

For the great cause of the Ming Dynasty, why should we waste our lives!

In mid-August, Le Jin led his troops into Dangyang, and the city gate of Dangyang opened with a bang.

Where is your general?

Le Jin was riding on his horse, feeling bored as he watched Dangyang Shuzuo being pushed out by his own soldiers, and asked casually.

The scholar was lying on the ground with tears streaming down his face, not daring to move, and his words could not form sentences:

The villain is willing to...surrender! Dangyang is willing to surrender. The villain does not want an official position, nor does he want land. I beg the general not to kill him...

Pah! Le Jin's riding whip drew a blood mark on the book's surface:

I asked you, where is the guard here?

The pain was fruitful. Na Shuzuo closed his eyes and cried:

Go back to Jiangdong! Everyone is going back to Jiangdong! We are going to attend the funeral of the Governor!

Le Jin turned his horse and left, at the same time giving instructions:

Enter Jingyang... no, enter Jiangling. The sentries and cavalry will go first and patrol for twenty miles.

The soldier pulled the reins and went to the back to give instructions to the scouts. Soon, several teams of scouts rode up and whipped their horses and disappeared from the sight of the Dangyang people.

The unnoticed Shu Zuo knelt down in the dust, ignoring the pain on his face, and shouted:

A great favor, General! ...A great favor!

The morning after Le Jin finished the bowl of soup cakes, he got the news:

The defenses of Dangyang and Jingyang were empty, and people could still be encountered sparsely fleeing on the road. The captured people called the defenders and commanders and returned to Jiangdong.

The sentinels did not dare to get too close to Jiangling for fear of being noticed, but they could see that the construction of the new city outside Jiangling had stopped, and the city gate defenders were playing in the river.

Or it's a trap... But Zhou Gongjin is dead, so why be afraid?

Without hesitation, Le Jin led 6,000 people across Dangyang and headed straight for Jiangling.

As for Shu Zuo's crying and howling, he didn't take it to heart at all. As long as Jiangling was defeated, the people of Dangyang would not have the final say on what happened to Dangyang.

It makes no difference whether they surrender or not. The dust around the city is not lacking in the irrigation of those few taels of blood.

Can six thousand men capture Jiangling? Le Jin held the reins and sat on the horse, meditating.

Jiangling City faced water to the north. At this time, the army was approaching. The few guards playing in the water had already hurriedly shouted and ran back to the city, but the city gate was not closed immediately.

After a while, some riders rushed out of Jiangling City, holding torches and carrying tung oil and heading straight for the bridge, as if they wanted to burn the bridge.

Without any instructions, random arrows forced the knights to stop moving forward. The knights hesitated for a moment, and finally threw the objects towards the bridge as hard as they could, as if they were obeying fate, and then returned without even looking at the horses.

This move caused a burst of laughter among Le Jin's subordinates. Some people joked: That's what Wu soldiers are like. One Han is like a five-barbarian, and Wu soldiers are like a half-barbarian.

Although it was a little noisy, the formation was not scattered. They were all waiting for Le Jin's final decision.

Go in! Le Jin finally made his decision.

Zhou Yu is dead, who can stop him? Cao Zixiao has said that Zhou Yu and Sun Ce are the only strong ones in Jiangdong, and the rest are all mediocre generals.

A small group of soldiers first crossed the river and took control of the crossing bridge, and then began to cut down trees and build a bridge on the spot. The crossing bridge must not only be widened, but also cannot have only one.

During this process, the gates of Jiangling City were never closed, and random riders kept coming to harass them, but they hardly had any impact. This kind of harassment did not feel like a struggle when a disaster was imminent, but rather a sense of coping.

Could it be that Jiangling City doesn’t even have a guard?

Three pontoon bridges capable of riding four horses abreast were erected, and Lejin's headquarters was also adjacent to Jiangling City. It was only then that the gate of Jiangling City was closed in a hurry.

Build a new city next to the old city. Zhou Gongjin is indeed a handsome man. If the two cities are completed, it will be difficult to conquer the two cities without ten times the number of troops.

Le Jin's Review of Jiangling

Seeing that a basic new city had just been built near Jiangling City, Le Jin was very happy:

Fortunately, Zhou Gongjin died early, otherwise if this city is built, Nanjun's way south will be blocked.

Looking at the rice that had just grown beside the city, Le Jin commented again:

For the income we have earned from operating this way, we need to thank Zhou Gongjin.

Looking at the repeated crossbows on the city, Le Jin commented with a smile:

Big and useless...

Before he finished speaking, a burst of sound broke through the air, and in a straight line in the formation, people fell on their backs!

At the same time, there were shouts and shouts in the four fields. Le Jin was startled, but he immediately made the most correct response strategy:

Order the two teams to control the pontoon bridge, while the remaining soldiers stick to their own positions and retreat slowly!

Because of the inexplicable blow, there was an uproar in the formation. At this moment, Jiangling City Gate opened again, and thousands of people filed out. Who was the leader, Zhang Yide?

Little Le Jin, do you know your Grandpa Zhang?

A sound like thunder rang out, and the morale in Le Jinjun's formation dropped again.

And in the northeast of the military formation, a fleet of boats was also slowly approaching, and the sound of drums on the boats was loud.

Bitter!

The unknown repeating crossbow on Jiangling City did not stop, and the people in the military formation who fired every ten breaths rolled over on their backs. There were reinforcements hidden in the city, and there were naval forces on the river. The opponent had been waiting for me here for a long time!

The only option is to fight to the death! Follow me to seize the bridge! Le Jin was also aroused, drew his long knife, and took the lead in killing the pontoon bridge.

The only solution now is to stick to the pontoon bridge, let the men withdraw, and reorganize their formation before they can fight.

But soon, the ships approached, and one ship came sideways, revealing a repeating crossbow on its side.

Under Le Jin's desperate eyes, the crossbow arrow was fired, and the makeshift pontoon turned into a pile of scattered wood again.

A long-bearded general at the bow of the ship said:

General Le, why don't you stay and fight against Cao's thieves together to help the great cause?

Le Jin responded in silence, just looking at his subordinates who could not cross the river.

He had taken the lead in crossing the river with several soldiers. He thought that the other side would also have an ambush on this bank and cut off the pontoon bridge to cut off the escape route. However, he did not expect that the other side actually had boats and crossbows and cut off the pontoon bridge without the need for an ambush.

In this way, he also lost contact with the formation.

The soldiers seemed to understand something, and they shouted one after another:

General, return quickly!

Return quickly, Xiangyang cannot be without a general!

After taking another deep look at these old clothes, Le Jin closed his eyes in pain, and then rode away.

Le Jin is running away! Surrender without killing!

Le Jin is running away! Surrender without killing!

Hearing the shouts behind him, Le Jin almost wanted to vomit blood and fall off his horse, but in the end he kept silent and figured out the direction of Xiangyang and rode away.

Looking at the Cao soldiers who had lost their retreat and whose morale had collapsed, Wei Yan beside Guan Yu was puzzled: General, why didn't you keep that Le Jin? If you had only left half a moment earlier, that Le Jin would not have been able to escape.

Le Jin is no more than a brave general. Guan Yu shook his head: Beheading Le Jin can make a small profit, but I am afraid that Cao's thieves will raise troops and cause the situation in Jingxiang to deteriorate.

Follow the military advisor's wishes and make sure Le Jin doesn't dare to harass us. Tu Yizhou is the priority.

This is also the strategy finally decided by Kong Ming and everyone. Killing Lejin and Cao Ren will only make it more difficult. After the situation is corrupted, it will only be a waste of money and resources here, but it will delay the attack on Yizhou!

At the same time, Liu Bei's boat also arrived at the ferry in Gong'an County. Sun Qian, who came to greet him, saw the tired lord and Mi Zhu beside him.

And an elegant scholar whose temperament is similar to that of a military advisor.

There was also a young general with wide-eyed eyes, looking left and right.

Going to Sanjiang would not be possible without your supervision and support. Thank you again.
