The fact that Yang Ling sent troops to attack the four counties in Jingnan with great fanfare was soon learned by the Sun and Liu coalition forces in Fankou.
"Uncle Liu Huang, what else do you have to say now?"
Sun Quan patted the case hard and asked coldly.
According to the information they obtained, Yang Ling's plan to attack the four counties in Jingnan was planned by Pang Yi!
Sun Quan was so angry that he began to use the topic as an excuse!
"this……"
Liu Bei hesitated, not knowing how to explain.
Zhuge Liang stood up calmly and said calmly,
"Based on my understanding of Shiyuan, he is not the kind of person who seeks glory behind his back."
"The reason why he took refuge with Thief Yang was simply because his family was massacred."
When Sun Quan heard this, his eyes turned cold, and instead of being angry, he smiled and said,
"Mr. Kong Ming, do you mean to blame me for destroying the entire Pang family?"
"Liang would never dare!"
Zhuge Liang looked calm and said,
"It's just that if the Pang family had not been killed, with Shi Yuan's character, he would never give advice to Thief Yang!"
"Very good, very good, very good!"
Sun Quan said three words in a row that were very good, and then threw a letter on Zhuge Liang's face.
"Then please tell me, Uncle Liu Huang and Mr. Kong Ming, why did Guan Yunchang turn to Yang Ling?"
"Don't tell me, it's also because I killed his whole family!"
As soon as these words came out, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei and others were stunned.
After the Battle of Jiangling, Guan Yu, Guan Xing, Liao Hua and others all fell into the hands of Cao Jun.
Although Liu Bei wanted to rescue them, he was unable to do so.
He sent people to inquire many times, but found out that Guan Yu was under house arrest by Yang Ling.
In the previous letter sent back by Pang Tong, he only briefly mentioned that he met Guan Yu, but did not mention the specific circumstances.
Therefore, in the eyes of Liu Bei and others, Guan Yu would rather die than surrender, and has been imprisoned by Yang Ling.
But when they read the letter Sun Quan threw over, they were all stunned.
This letter was a masterpiece placed in Jiangling and delivered to Sun Quan.
According to the intelligence collected by Xizuo, Guan Yu has defected to Yang Ling and followed him to conquer the four counties of Jingnan.
Not only that, his daughter Guan Yinping also married Yang Ling as a concubine!
"This...how is this possible?"
The news of Guan Yu's rebellion was like a bolt from the blue, shocking Liu Bei to the point where he could not recover for a long time.
"How is this impossible?"
Sun Quan sneered and said,
"Thank you for all the talk about Guan Yunchangyi and Bo Yuntian. In my opinion, he is just an ungrateful villain!"
"Bi Yan'er, if you dare to humiliate my second brother again, I will never let you go!"
Zhang Fei's eyes widened with anger and he said viciously.
Being stared at by him like this, Sun Quan felt a little frightened.
But seeing Zhou Tai, Xu Sheng and others around him, Sun Quan quickly gained confidence.
"What, am I not telling the truth?"
"you!"
Zhang Fei was so angry that he clenched the Zhangba Snake Spear, but he didn't know how to refute!
"Third brother, don't be rude!"
Liu Bei reluctantly cheered up and saluted Sun Quan.
"This is all a mistake. I hope Wu Hou will put aside his past grudges and deal with Yang Thief together!"
Sun Quan snorted coldly, ignored Liu Bei, and walked away with everyone in Jiangdong!
After they left, Liu Bei looked at the letter in his hand and said with a wry smile,
"Does the military advisor think it is possible for us to defeat Yang Ling?"
This Yang Ling seems to be Liu Bei's natural nemesis!
Counting from Zhao Yun onwards, Yang Ling has taken away all the talents and territory that he likes!
Mi Zhen came first, followed closely by Jingzhou, Xu Shu, and Pang Tong.
Now even his sworn brother, Guan Yu, who had always been chivalrous and courageous, turned his back on him!
Liu Bei even wanted to sigh, if there is preparation, why should there be Ling?
"My subordinates only feel that everything depends on manpower. My lord is your Majesty's imperial uncle. If even my lord has to give up and no longer wants to help the Han Dynasty, who else in the world is willing to take on this important task?"
"Is my lord willing to watch the country of Han fall into the hands of thieves Cao and Yang?"
Seeing Liu Bei's lack of enthusiasm, Zhuge Liang was afraid that he would give up, so he quickly cheered him up!
"Kong Ming is absolutely right!"
Liu Bei regained his composure and said firmly,
"The Han thieves and I are at odds with each other!"
…
Wuling County.
After crossing the Yangtze River, Yang Ling led the army all the way south.
Everywhere he went, villages and counties were waiting for the wind to fall.
Soon he conquered the cities of Jingling, Zuotang, etc., and came to a place less than 200 miles away from Hanshou, the seat of Wuling County.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Yang Ling ordered to set up camp on the spot.
After dinner, he called everyone to the tent to discuss military matters.
"Hanshou is not a big city. The general gives me ten artillery pieces and three thousand sergeants. I will capture it within one day!"
Ma Chao said confidently.
"Five artillery pieces, a thousand sergeants, the general will take down Hanshou in half a day!"
Wei Yan also stood up and said not to be outdone.
"Mr. Wen, are you going too far? You actually posted before me?"
Ma Chao was dissatisfied.
"Meng Qi's words are wrong. If something is announced first, whoever has the ability will naturally do it."
Wei Yan looked at him innocently.
Just when the two of them were arguing about who should attack Hanshou, Yang Ling stopped them and said with a smile,
"You two don't have to worry about it. I only need a letter to win Han Shou."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was a little skeptical.
After all, according to the intelligence returned by the spies, Jin Xuan, the prefect of Wuling, has an eccentric personality and a bad temper. He is not a master who surrenders easily.
"If you don't believe it, we'll just wait and see."
Yang Ling smiled confidently and didn't explain too much.
…
"It's so hard for me..."
Jin Xuan, the prefect of Wuling County, sat on the cave with a sad face.
Previously, Liu Bei and Liu Qi occupied Jiangling and sent people to ask for food, grass and baggage.
In order not to cause trouble, Jin Xuan had to send a large amount of supplies.
But in just a few days, Liu Bei and the others were beaten to a pulp, and Yang Ling led an army to suppress the situation.
Jin Xuan knew very well that Yang Ling was different from Liu Bei. What he wanted was not food and supplies, but the entire Wuling County!
At this moment, the servant came in from outside,
"Reporting to the prefect, all the princes are already waiting in the hall!"
"knew!"
Jin Xuan gathered his mood and walked towards the lobby.
All the civil and military officials from Wuling County were living in the hall. When they saw Jin Xuan coming, they all saluted.
"I've seen the prefect!"
After Jin Xuan slowly sat down, he looked at everyone,
"Now Cao's army is approaching fiercely. In your opinion, what should we do?"
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but no one said a word.
They all knew in their hearts that even Sun Quan and Liu Bei were no match for Yang Ling.
Wu Ling's strength alone was not enough to fill the gap between Cao Jun's teeth.
But they all knew that Jin Xuan had a bad temper, so they didn't dare to take the initiative to talk about surrender!
Seeing that no one answered him, Jin Xuan was furious.
"You are a bunch of trash. You eat everything you want, and you can't do anything good. If you are asked to come up with ideas, no one will be able to breathe!"
