Chapter 211: The fierce battle in Jiangling

"I heard that there were a lot of materials transported to Jiangling. The crossbows used on the top of the city today are the products of Shu." Yuwen Su was not idle either. Although he did not have the intelligence system like Jing'ansi, he also sent a large number of scouts along the river. The slightly more frequent movement on the river surface could not escape his ears.

"What about Nanchu? What's wrong?" I'm afraid that the entire Song Dynasty, Murong Yanzhao, still remembered that the main purpose of coming here was to rescue Zhou Baoquan, and the others were only concerned about Jiangling City in front of them.

"I heard that Yang Shifan raised an army and was preparing to quell the rebellion. I guess he had already started fighting with Zhang Wenbiao. The news has not yet been heard." He was busy and Nan Chu was not idle either. Zhang Wenbiao was in a state of power, but Zhou Baoquan's main force was not lost. Once he got Yang Shifan's help, it is still unknown who would win.

"Trouble." Murong Yanzhao frowned. He knew that Yang Shifan knew that he knew how to fight and was difficult to deal with. Moreover, Zhou Baoquan occupied the righteousness. Once Zhang Wenbiao was killed, what excuse would he use to enter Chu?

"General, it's useless to think about it. Let's pass the hurdle first." Yuwen Su pointed to the direction of Jiangling City, and basically received instructions from Kaifeng every day. His biggest role now is to send the daily war to Kaifeng in a written form, eight hundred miles in a hurry. Then the man in the palace sent his approval and eight hundred miles in a hurry, which was to personally guide the battle.

Murong Yanzhao was actually very annoyed by Zhao Kuangyin's style. In terms of qualifications and military achievements, he was no worse than him. He was just a little worse than trying to figure out the meaning and winning people's hearts. Now when fighting a war, he still has to follow his ideas, making him feel like a puppet, which is very uncomfortable.

"What can I do? Do it according to Your Majesty's will, and I'll take a rest." Murong Yanzhao lay down on the couch, fighting in full swing, and he was too lazy to see. It's the same whether he is here or not. His Majesty's will and the generals under his command have passed on one by one.

"General, are you just sleeping like this?" Yuwen Su was a little angry that he would not fight. Whose surname may be taken in the world in the future? Why would you not have any other thoughts? If Murong Yanzhao really had that thought, he might as well be the Marquis of Zhuge Wu.

"Look for a while, if you can't make a decision, then call me." Murong Yanzhao knew that it was okay to lead the troops to fight, and he was competing for the world. He didn't have the qualifications, so why bother betting on his wealth and life to seek death?

Gao Jichong personally committed suicide on the city today. His subordinates had nearly half of their casualties. I don’t know when the Song army could retreat. God was not open to his eyes. It had not rained for more than ten days. If he had been in a row for half a month, the Song army would have to retreat even if it did not retreat.

From a distance, I saw Manager Su bringing a group of people to the city gate with a jar of wine. Gao Jichong was tired, so he was ready to go down and rest for a while to see what he was doing, and what he was doing on the battlefield.

"General, my marquis asked me to bring a batch of treasures." Su Lie patted the wine jar in his arms, as if it was something extraordinary.

"Brother Sun has arrived? You can't drink alcohol on this battlefield. Manager Su please bring it back." Gao Jizhong frowned. If the Song army retreated, it would be okay to celebrate. Now the city is still fighting, which is too inappropriate.

"My marquis is in Wuchang. This is not ordinary wine, it is called alcohol. My marquis said that using this thing to clean the wound and bandage it, the probability of the wound being ulcerated is half less. Brothers under the general can also recover their combat power as soon as possible and kill the Song army." Sun Yu did not compare this specific statistics, but it was indeed much lower, just what he said to Su Lie.

"Take it seriously?" Gao Jichong became interested immediately and immediately called someone to move the wine jar to the wounded camp.

Now the wounded barracks are already overcrowded. If this thing is useful, his brothers can survive more.

"Don't worry, General, my marquis never speaks nonsense. This is a certificate issued by the money house. The general himself can cash it in the money house with this certificate. However, my marquis said that this year is difficult. If the general is eager to cash it, he may only give half of it first." Su Lie took out six silver notes from his arms and handed it over, each with a denomination of 100,000 taels. The stubs left in the money house are cut from the same piece of silver notes as the silver notes. Only when the pattern is completely matched can it be cashed.

"It's okay, there's no need for the time being." Gao Jichong regarded this as his capital to make a comeback in the future and stored it in Jianzhou first. For the time being, he has money and has nowhere to spend it.

"General, can the army be short of supplies? The Marquis can help purchase a batch." When the ship came back, they were all empty ships. Although they were going upstream, it would not be necessary to bring some supplies.

"No, it's enough at present." Jiangling City had already stored a lot of food and grass, and later Shu Kingdom sent a batch, which is now sufficient. If the Song army did not retreat, at the current rate of casualties, it would not be supported for long, and no matter how much material it would have fallen into the hands of the Song army.

Su Lie said goodbye to Gao Jichong, turned around and ran towards the dock. He had to continue to go south with the boat. He had to press the boat himself for such a big deal no matter what.

Three days later, when the last batch of war horses arrived, the camp of the Jianzhou cavalry was already crowded. Fortunately, the fire kept patrolling the stables and finally became more settled. Although they were all tamed war horses, they had never suffered such a crime. They had eaten well, but they were too crowded.

"Tell Brother Gao that if things go wrong, you can follow this letter to look for me. I believe I dare not harm you along the way. Once I get the news, I will definitely lead a large army to the north to respond." In the letter, in addition to the official seal of the governor of the Zhongyong Army, there is also a private seal of Zhenhai Hou. Even if it is detained, as long as your life is not hindered, Sun Yu's army will always have a way to survive.

"Don't worry, the youngest one will definitely be there." Su Lie was about to go north with the ship. Jiangling City was not broken for a day, so he had to stay there.

"You, be careful and come back alive." Sun Yu suddenly felt that he was too cruel. Jiangling City could not be defended after all, but neither Gao Jichong nor Su Lie in front of him had become his pawns, and he dragged the Song army here according to his wishes. Now Jiangling City has a great battle, but Su Lie had to go against the road from the safe Wuchang.

"Don't worry, the young man is just a merchant, and he can't even spend money to seek peace. But this loss must be remembered in the business, and the small one cannot afford to lose." If the Song army broke through the city, Su Lie would be afraid, but since he entered Jiangling City, he would know that he and Gao Jichong were tied up. Gao Jichong could not retreat, and he could not leave.

Today, the evil dog got half a leg of lamb, which was called in Sun Yu's name. There was plenty of meat at night, because I had to go on the road again tomorrow morning, so I continued to march quickly and supplemented my nutrition. Sun Yu had something to worry about and didn't go to eat. The evil dog served two bowls of rice, asked Gao Huichang to chop half of the leg of lamb and take it to Sun Yu's tent.

"Mr. Marquis, it's time to have a meal." The evil dog smelled the legs of lamb, and it smelled so good.

"Evil dog, do you think you're going to live well with me?" Sun Yu took over his job. Today he kept thinking about a question, whether he was doing it right, is it too evil to manipulate others like this?

"Okay, I live in a big house, ride a horse and eat lamb legs, how about not?" The evil dog didn't know what his marquis was thinking. This day, he was happy like a god.

"But, you often beat your life and die, lick blood from the knife, and if you are not careful, your life will pass." On the battlefield, there is no eyebrow on the sword, let alone evil.

Even if you are a dog, there is no guarantee of survival.

"I have long regarded myself as dying for a long time, and my life is profitable. With the past few months, I have lived more than twenty years ago. Life is worse than death, and I feel like I live a day." The evil dog has his own unique experience of life. When he was confused before, he didn't feel it. Now looking back, if he continues to live that kind of life, it's better to die.

"That's true, quality is more important. Tear me two pieces." Sun Yu picked up the rice bowl, and there was a spoonful of vegetables inside, all of which were boiled. They were not delicious, but nutritious.

"Mr. Marquis, give it." The evil dog tore off the fattest piece of meat on the lamb leg and handed it over.

Sun Yu directly suffered a lot of food and started eating it. The evil dogs also ate it. Their appetite was only half a leg of lamb, and in an incense stick, there was only bone left.

"Let's leave at the hour of the morning tomorrow, and let it go without any mistakes." Sun Yu ate the rice in the big bowl very cleanly, which is considered to be an example. This is his rule.

"So early?" The evil dog was a little surprised. It was not the five hundred light cavalry that came when he came, but there were three thousand war horses. At the moment of Mao, the genius was slightly bright.

"It should have set off immediately, but it's too late. If you stay for one more day, you will have a little more variable." Although Huang Yanqian had already managed it, it was hard to predict. He thought it was three hundred war horses. If he knew it was three thousand, it was still unknown whether that little pearl could satisfy his appetite.

"Neizhi will do it now." The evil dog cleaned up the bowls, chopsticks and bones, and gave the camp tent, notified Sun Yu's order. The entire camp began to prepare, packed the forage in bags, tied a bag on each horse's back, which was considered ration along the way.

The next day, at two o'clock, the governor of Wuchang, Huang Yanqian, personally brought more than a hundred cavalry to the military camp. He only learned last night that the three fingers that Sun Yu raised were actually three thousand war horses. Based on the principle of having a share of the person, he had to share more. Without his own care, these horses could not reach the ground of Wuchang, let alone leave Wuchang.

"Wow, where are you?" Huang Yanqian asked loudly when he arrived at the gate of the military camp.

"General, who?" The guard looked confused.

"Where are the cavalry from Jianzhou?" Huang Yanqian asked patiently.

"I'm leaving, I'm leaving just dawn. It's been more than two hours." After the guard said, he couldn't help but wipe his mouth. This morning he saw the cavalry all ate meat buns, no wonder they were all strong like calves.

"Bad." Huang Yanqian whipped over with a whip, and the guards didn't dare to dodge. After being forced to take this, he had already cursed in his heart. I was just a guardian. Without the instructions from above, how could I dare to stop others from leaving? That was five hundred elite cavalry.

"Chasing!" Huang Yanqian wanted to give up, but when he thought of three thousand war horses, he had only obtained a box of pearls, but he couldn't bear it after all.

Sun Yu didn't care about these things. When he came here, he was 300 miles a day, and it was a single horse. Now, one person had seven war horses on average, and he ran 500 miles a day. It was just a casual time. The lunch was on the horse's back and he ate some dry food casually.

"Stop, go back." Huang Yanqian led his men to chase after him for seventy or eighty miles in one breath. The horsepower was almost exhausted and he didn't even see a shadow. If he chased him, he probably wouldn't be able to catch up with his territory and could only give up.
