    The constant scoldings from the city made Ling Tong's mood that had finally calmed down agitated again. Dong Xi on the side saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly shouted: "Where are the archers? Release your arrows quickly!"

    For a while, on the head of the county town, Wan Jian sent away, forcibly retreating from Zhang Liao Gaoshun's footsteps.

    Outside the city, after Zhang Liao and Gao Shun withdrew from Fuxian County, Gao Shun asked: "Wenyuan, the army sent by Sun Quan has been basically defeated by me, but there are still many left, and now they are all gathered in Fuxian County.  If we attack by force, it may be difficult to succeed."

    Zhang Liao smiled relaxedly and said, "Don't worry, General Gao, I plan to attack Fuxian County by force. Attacking Fuxian County is not a wise move. My purpose is just to keep Dong Xi Lingtong in the city and not dare to come out easily."

    "Oh? I wonder what Wen Yuan's plan is?" Gao Shun asked curiously.

    Zhang Liao called a sergeant and asked him to bring over a map. After unfolding it, he pointed to Nanyang County on it and preached to Gao Shun: "General Gao, look, Nanyang County borders Shangyong to the east, Xiangyang to the south, and Xiangyang to the north.  It is close to Yongliang, which can be said to be an important place."

    Gao Shun listened and suddenly said, "Wen Yuan doesn't want to knock down the entire Nanyang, does he?"

    "Exactly!" Zhang Liao laughed.

    "But Wenyuan, Nanyang County is a large county. We have limited troops. Even if we capture all thirty-six counties of Nanyang, there will be no troops to defend it?" Gao Shun asked in confusion.

    Zhang Liao said, "General Gao's words are wrong. Although we don't have enough troops to defend Nanyang, the king does. We can ask the king for reinforcements. I believe the king will agree to our request."

    Gao Shun thought for a while and felt that Zhang Liao's proposal was quite feasible, so he agreed with him.

    After the two hit it off, Zhang Liao immediately wrote a letter to Liu Ke and asked a messenger to rush to deliver the letter to Liu Ke. He and Gao Shun led the army and began to raid various counties in Nanyang County.

    After just one week, the entire Nanyang County, except for Wancheng, where the government was located, and Fuxian County, where Dong Xi Lingtong was located, fell!

    This news flew all over the world as if it had wings. After Cao Cao and Liu Bei heard about it, they just sighed at the bravery of Zhang Liao and Gao Shun. But when Sun Quan and Sun Ce heard about it, they couldn't sleep or eat well.

    Xiangyang, Sun Quan was sitting at the desk, not only rubbing his eyebrows, he had already received the battle reports from Dong Xi and Ling Tong. The old general Ling Cao was killed in the battle, and only 60,000 of the 100,000 troops were left.

    Forgetting such a disastrous defeat, now, the armies of Zhang Liao and Gao Shun actually swept across the entire Nanyang County. Wherever they went, they either surrendered or were defeated. No one could stop the terrifying offensive of the two.

    If this continues, when Zhang Liao and Gao Shun capture Wancheng, Sun Quan is worried that they will go crazy and kill Xiangyang City.  At that time, I didn't even have a place to cry.

    ¡°Bang!¡±

    Sun Quan punched the table in front of him. He felt pain and couldn't help but frown in pain. At this time, a gentle voice sounded outside the palace.

    "Gu Yong asks to see the second young master."

    Sun Quan, who was furious, suddenly heard Gu Yong coming. He was so surprised that he got up and went to the door of the mansion to welcome Gu Yong in.

    This was one of the few wise men under Sun Ce. He was deeply trusted by Sun Ce. Before leading his troops to attack Yangzhou, he told Sun Quan that if there was any emergency, he needed to consult Gu Yong.

    It¡¯s just that when Sun Quan asked Ling Cao to lead troops to attack Zhang Liao and Gaoshun last time, Gu Yong happened to have something to do back home and was not in Xiangyang. Today he has just returned to Xiangyang.

    No, Gu Yong just came back and after hearing what happened recently, he immediately ran to the Xiangyang Palace to find Sun Quan.

    After everyone sat down, Sun Quan said bitterly: "Mr. Yuantan, you are finally back. If you don't come back, I will be driven crazy."

    Gu Yong smiled slightly and said calmly: "Second Young Master, where are you talking? You are the King's younger brother. Who dares to drive you crazy?"

    Sun Quan smiled bitterly and said, "Who else can be there? Of course they are Liu Ke's generals Zhang Liao and Gao Shun."

    Speaking of Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, Gu Yong couldn't help but become serious and asked in a deep voice, "May I ask, Second Master, have you ever used the Tiger Talisman to mobilize a hundred thousand troops from Jingzhou and hand them over to Ling Cao to attack Zhang Liao and Gao Shun?"

    Sun Quan did not deny it and said, "Yes, I asked Ling Cao to lead the troops to defeat Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, but"

    "However, if we didn't succeed, we would end up defeated. Some people even lost their lives!" Before Sun Quan finished speaking, Gu Yong took over.

    "How did Mr. Yuan Tan know? At present, I am the only one who knows about this matter. Even if?Eldest brother may not even know.  "Sun Quan looked at Gu Yong with some surprise and uncertainty.

    Gu Yong sighed deeply and said, "Second Young Master, if you want to send troops to attack Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, why not let Pan Zhang be the commander, or you can choose one of Ling Tong and Dong Xi as the commander.  But you just let Ling Cao be your commander."

    Sun Quan asked in confusion: "Mr. Yuantan, I considered that the veteran general Ling Cao had rich experience in the military all his life, so I made him the commander. Is there anything wrong with him?"

    "It's not just inappropriate, it's just nonsense! Although Ling Cao has spent his whole life in the military, his character is only suitable for a general, not a commander. If I am not wrong, Ling Cao has died on the battlefield, right?"  Gu Yong's words were astonishing.

    Sun Quan stared at Gu Yong in shock, thinking, this Gu Yong is not a god in the sky, he can guess everything.

    Gu Yong knew what Sun Quan was thinking and sighed, "Second Young Master, don't be surprised. I'm not some fairy or ghost. I just know Ling Cao's personality and will never give up easily. Defeat is a shame for him. He would rather die."  I won¡¯t run away.¡±

    "That's it." Sun Quan nodded. Ling Cao's character was indeed exactly as Gu Yong said, extremely old-fashioned, but extremely loyal.

    Sun Quan handed Gu Yong the information about Zhang Liao's Gao Shun sweeping through the entire Nanjun. After he read it, he asked, "I wonder what Mr. Yuan Tan thinks we should do now?"

    Gu Yong's eyes showed a thoughtful look, and after a while, he said leisurely: "Second Young Master, Zhang Liao's Gao Shun soldiers are very upright, and they are not suitable for direct confrontation. Therefore, in my opinion, Ling Tong and Dong Xi in Fu County should be allowed to immediately  Give up Fuxian County."

    "After abandoning Fuxian County, let them garrison in Wancheng, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as Wancheng is defended, Nanyang will not really fall. Wancheng is more important than all other counties in the Nanyang group."

    Regarding Gu Yong¡¯s arrangement, Sun Quan thought about it carefully and found it very reasonable. Wancheng has a special geographical location and is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The most important thing is that Wancheng is very close to Xuchang, Yanzhou. Once Wancheng falls.

    Then Liu Ke can send troops directly from Xuchang and quickly reach Jingzhou. The threat to Jingzhou is too great!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
