The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 307 Battle of Moling
There used to be about [-] Jiangdong navy troops, but after a fierce fight, less than half of them finally retreated to Moling, and the rest were either killed or captured.

Zhang Wu ordered 1 people to stay to clean up the battlefield, and the rest were ready to land and besiege Moling.

The wounded in one's own army should be treated as soon as possible, and the bodies of those who died in battle should be found, registered one by one, and pensions will be issued after the war.Damaged warships need to be repaired, weapons and equipment need to be replaced, and materials such as arrows need to be replenished.

The corpses in the water had to be fished out, otherwise it would pollute the water area and possibly cause a plague, because this piece of land would be Zhang Wu's territory in the future.The captured Jiangdong soldiers must be screened to see if there are any generals of the Jiangdong Army, and the prisoners of the Jiangdong Army must be carefully identified to see if there are any Jiangdong generals who died in battle.

According to statistics, Cheng Pu, the second governor of Jiangdong, and Dong Xi, the general of Jiangdong, were killed in this battle, and their bodies were placed in front of Zhang Wu.Jiangdong general Zhu Heng was injured and fell into the water but did not die. When he fled to the shore in a small boat, he was caught by Jingzhou Army soldiers. General Ling Tong was captured alive by Gan Ning.

The results are quite fruitful!The First World War eliminated the four Jiangdong generals, as well as the veterans of the three dynasties like Cheng Pu, and since then the Jiangdong Navy no longer exists, because their warships have been captured, and there are less than 2 people left. Moling city went.

Zhang Wuling followed the army doctor to treat Zhu Heng's wounds, and asked Zhu Heng and Ling Tong if they would surrender.

Perhaps Zhu Heng was seriously injured and had no strength to speak, so he kept silent, but Ling Tong cursed and refused to surrender.He had a feud with Gan Ning who killed his father, and Gan Ning was Zhang Wu's sworn brother, so how could he willingly surrender.

Zhang Wu didn't take it seriously, anyway, he was scolded a lot, and he wouldn't be angry for a prisoner. Your life is in my hands, and I can make you say no for the rest of your life. Speak up.

Zhang Wu felt that Sun Quan's civil and military officials had a characteristic, that is, the generals were very loyal and brave, and generally would not betray Sun Quan, like Tai Shici who was left out in the cold, and never thought of betraying Jiangdong.

But the civil servants under Sun Quan were different. There were too many people on the wall. Even important officials like Zhang Zhao persuaded Sun Quan to surrender to Cao Cao. Gu Yong, Yu Fan, Bu Zhi, Xue Zong, Lu Ji, Yan Yan and others were the main leaders. Surrender.The reason is nothing more than that most of these civil servants came from Jiangdong aristocratic families. No matter who rules Jiangdong, they need to rely on their influence. Their family interests will not be damaged because of changing masters.

Just like Cai Mao and Kuai Yue wanted to dedicate Jingzhou to Cao Cao, the fundamental reason is the same.

The military generals are different. The Huaisi gang are basically in power in the Jiangdong army. They have no roots and no foundation in Jiangdong, and they gain power entirely by Sun Quan's reuse.If they surrender to other bosses, they will definitely not be trusted and reused like they are now. Even if they can be trusted, they will definitely not be allowed to command the army.

If they were some generals from local families in Jiangdong, they should not be opposed to joining the new boss after Sun Quan's demise.

Therefore, Zhang Wu ordered Zhu Heng and Ling Tong to be escorted to Xiangyang, but they had to be treated differently.

Zhu Heng was born in the Zhu family, one of the four major families in Wu County. He also had a cousin named Zhu Ju, who was also a talented man with both civil and military skills.

Therefore, Zhang Wu felt that if Sun Quan died, Zhu Heng might surrender himself for the benefit of the family, so he could be spared for the time being.If he insists on not surrendering in the end, then deal with it later.

But Ling Tong would not surrender to Zhang Wu. Even if Ling Tong was willing to surrender, to be honest, Zhang Wu did not want to accept it.Because Ling Tong and Gan Ning had a vendetta against killing their father, who knows if he pretended to surrender, looking for a chance to take revenge?Even if Ling Tong really wanted to surrender, but Zhang Wu has no shortage of generals now, so the trust between him and Gan Ning might not be affected for the sake of Ling Tong.

Therefore, Zhang Wu also had an instruction, which was to hand over Ling Tong to Huang She.

This basically sentenced Ling Tong to death, because Huang She's father, Huang Zu, was captured alive by Ling Tong at the beginning, so Huang She had two enemies who killed his father, one was Ling Tong and the other was Sun Quan.

Although Huang She's political and military talents are not very good, he is also somewhat talented in literature. After all, he is also from a top family in Jingzhou, and he can also help Zhang Wu with many things.Moreover, Huang She is still the head of the Huang family, and the Huang family still has many other talents, such as Huang Chengyan, who is Zhuge Liang's father-in-law.

Anyway, Zhang Wu was also Huang Zu's subordinate at the beginning. Huang She also helped Zhang Wu with all his strength when Zhang Wu was in the most difficult time. Zhang Wu is also a very nostalgic person.

Of course, Zhang Wu is actually a person who loves the new and never tires of the old!

Sun Quan led his army to support Moling, with Chen Wu as the vanguard.

When Chen Wu came to the south of Moling City, he saw an army blocking the way in front of him, and the army formation was strict. The Chinese army erected a large banner and wrote the word "Guan". The battle ahead, while waiting for the arrival of Sun Quan's army.

When Sun Quan arrived, he just got the news of the defeat ahead. Not only lost more than half of the soldiers, even Cheng Pu, Dong Xi, Zhu Heng and Ling Tong did not retreat to the city. It is estimated that they were either killed or captured.Now there are only more than [-] remnants in Moling City, and their morale is low.

Sun Quan was horrified. The naval army had basically been destroyed, and the city of Moling was also in danger. Once Moling was lost, he would be trapped in Wu County and Kuaiji County, and it would be difficult to stand up from now on.

Because Moling is the most important military town controlling the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, if Jiangdong Army can hold Moling until Cao Cao can come to rescue, then Jiangdong Army can echo Cao Army on the north bank on the south bank.The Jingzhou army was attacked from both sides and did not dare to attack Moling City with all its strength.

But once Moling falls, the Jingzhou navy can completely cut off the waterway of the Yangtze River, and will no longer be afraid of Cao Jun intervening in the war in the south of the Yangtze River, and can concentrate on dealing with Jiangdong from then on.

Therefore, Sun Quan ordered the army to launch a strong attack, and must break through the barriers and enter the city to hold firm before the Jingzhou navy had time to land.

Sun Quan believed that if he could lead an army into the city, it would surely boost morale and hold out until Cao Cao arrived.

In fact, among the great princes of the present age, Sun Quan is indeed considered to be pretty good, neither lacking in courage nor lacking in scheming, he dared to personally lead troops into battle, and he also predicted well.

If Sun Quan is really allowed to rush into Moling City with reinforcements, and the big boss Sun Quan personally guards it, the morale of the Jiangdong Army will definitely rise. In addition, Lu Su, Kan Ze and others are also quite cunning, and there is no shortage of generals. It's easy to keep it for a month or two.
