Chapter 930 Capture Linxiang

"That's all. The defense of the soldiers is barely enough." Liu Pan sighed: "I regret that I didn't listen to Brother Han Sheng's words, which led to a big disaster, alas."

Liu Pan and Huang Zhong then reorganized their troops and mobilized the thousands of Jingzhou troops that had been stationed in Lingling City. At the same time, they continued to gather the defeated troops. Finally, they had more than 2,000 troops stationed in Yiyang City.

After Zhou Yu learned about it, he didn't take Liu Pan's two thousand troops seriously.

"Although Liu Pan still has two thousand people in Yiyang, they can only be used for defense. I am afraid that he will be unable to make progress."

Zhou Yu said slowly: "Therefore, I plan to leave a thousand people to bluff to attract Liu Pan's attention, and then lead the army north to help the lord defeat the enemy."

However, before Zhou Yu could finish speaking, he was interrupted.

"The Governor, the Governor!"

A scout outside the door rushed in with a look of panic on his face.

Zhou Yu frowned: "What's wrong? What happened?"

The scout swallowed his saliva and said in a trembling voice: "The Commander-in-Chief Gao Chongjun secretly communicated with the big families in Linxiang City. Those big families sent private soldiers to open the city gates, and Linxiang City fell! Captain Zhou fought desperately and unfortunately Captain Xu died in the battle. The lieutenant escorted the lord to escape from the city and has already come towards Guiyang. Please ask the governor to send troops to rescue immediately."

"What?"

Zhou Yu stood up, his face pale and his figure shaky.

He finally worked hard and used several strategies to defeat Liu Pan's army. He originally thought that this was a good opportunity for Jiangdong's army to turn from defense to attack, but he never expected that Gao Chong had already taken Changsha County first.

"Brother Bo Fu, brother Bo Fu, could it be that God is not blessing me Jiangdong?"

Zhou Yu opened his lips and murmured a few words.

Seeing Zhou Yu's abnormal expression, Taishi Ci said carefully: "Grand Governor, are you okay?"

"Pfft!"

As soon as Taishi Ci finished asking, Zhou Yu suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, which stained the brocade robe, as if several plum blossoms had bloomed.

"Grand Governor!"

Not knowing how much time had passed, Zhou Yu slowly opened his eyes, feeling weak and weak in his body and his lips were dry.

"water"

"The Governor is awake!"

"The Governor wants water, hurry!"

Taishi Ci, who was waiting on the side, was overjoyed. He hurriedly grabbed the kettle with his own hands, fed Zhou Yu some water, and then asked with concern: "Grand Governor, how do you feel?"

Zhou Yu shook his head, indicating that he was fine, and then asked, "How long have I been unconscious?"

"It's been two hours."

"No. My lord is in danger now. Gao Chong is leading his army to pursue him. He must lead his army to help immediately." Zhou Yu said weakly.

Taishi Ci advised: "Grand Governor, you are not feeling well, why don't you rest here for a while while I lead the army to rescue the lord."

Taishi Ci and Gao Chong had a life-long friendship. When Taishi Ci was still under Liu Yao's tent, he heard that more than ten of Sun Ce's cavalry had appeared in Shenting Ridge, so he asked Liu Yao for troops to capture Sun Ce. As a result, Liu Yao refused to give troops and horses, so Taishi Ci had to fight against Taishi Ci alone. Only Gao Chong lamented Taishi Ci's heroic spirit and stood up, saying: "Taishici is a real hero, I can help him!"

But now the two people have turned into enemies, which is really a trick of fate.

Zhou Yu slowly shook his head: "No, Gao Chong has many soldiers and generals under his command. Ziyi, I am afraid that you are no match for him. The governor must personally take action!"

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Yu coughed violently, and a few more drops of blood came out on the ground.

"Grand Governor, you can't go on like this, your body can't hold on!" Tai Shici said loudly.

"Help me up and prepare the horse." Zhou Yu said slowly.

Taishi Ci refused. Zhou Yu just stared at Taishi Ci. Taishi Ci had no choice but to sigh: "Okay, but after this battle is over, the governor cannot continue to command the army no matter what. He must take good care of himself before he can control the army." Soldiers."

Taishi Ci is still very confident in Zhou Yu's military ability, and still firmly believes that as long as Zhou Yu takes action, even Gao Chong and 20,000 Xiliang soldiers may not be his opponents.

"Let Quan Cong lead three thousand soldiers and horses to Guiyang County to greet the lord first. I will rush to Guiyang later and fight the Xiliang army there." Zhou Yu said slowly.

A remnant army was defeated and marched on the road in ragged clothes. Whether it was the leading general or the ordinary soldiers, they were all dejected and had no fighting spirit.

Sun Quan's armor was in tatters and he said sadly: "Wen Xiang, where is this place?"

A gentleman next to him, who was not a general but a talented general, replied: "My lord, this is Leiyang County. Our army only needs to go south along the Lei River to reach Bian County. Further south is Bin County, the seat of Lingling County."

"Uh-huh, Youping, Youping." Sun Quan nodded and suddenly couldn't help crying, but he thought of the loyal general Zhou Tai. Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were both water thieves who roamed the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers. When Sun Ce crossed the river to attack Liu Yao, they chose to defect to Sun Ce.

Sun Ce kept Jiang Qin by his side and sent Zhou Tai, who was excellent in martial arts, to his younger brother Sun Quan to protect him personally.

From then on, Zhou Tai formed an indissoluble bond with Sun Quan and saved Sun Quan from fire and water many times. Zhou Tai was a brave man who fought hard. When Cao Cao attacked Jiangdong and sent a large army to besiege Sun Quan, thanks to Zhou Tai's desperate charge and wearing more than ten wounds, he finally rescued Sun Quan.

But now, this loyal general died on the spot in order to cover his retreat.

"My lord, the reason why Youping and I fought desperately was to allow my lord to escape. Now that my lord has escaped, Youping's death in battle has meaning. If my lord fails to recover, how can he be worthy of Youping?" His spirit in heaven?" Xu Sheng persuaded.

Sun Quan remained silent and said slowly: "Wen Xiang, you are right."

"The whole army speeds up and heads towards Leiyang. We will have a full meal when we arrive. Hurry!" Sun Quan ordered.

After a great battle, their physical strength was greatly depleted. Naturally, these defeated soldiers were hungry. After hearing Sun Quan's words, they reluctantly cheered up and accelerated their march.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of galloping from the west, and a group of army horses slowly appeared on the horizon. More than two thousand Jiangdong soldiers were startled. They were already frightened at this moment. When they saw the army, they thought they were enemy troops and were naturally frightened.

"Arrange on the spot, the entire army is on alert!" Xu Sheng ordered.

Under Xu Sheng's order, the more than two thousand defeated soldiers barely formed a circular formation, trembling. However, as the Biao Army Horse came and raised the flag, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"My lord, I am Quan Cong, how are you?"
