Chapter 80 Jiangling is finally owned by Qin

The mountain roads around Jiangling were rugged and built along the river. Although it was difficult to attack, it could not last long. During the Three Kingdoms period, it was also the key point of the Wu Kingdom's defense. Gongao and the Qin and Han Dynasties fought for many days, causing Jiangling City to be dilapidated.

At this moment, Gongwei had already brought relatives and friends to Hengshan, which means that Jiangling was not bad. Hengshan County is not bad anyway, it is better than those who have nowhere to settle down. However, Gongao had only one dream at this time, that is, to capture Jiujiang and avenge his previous shame.

In Jiangling City, Gong Ao and Sima Yin both sighed. They thought they would be under the jurisdiction of Chu, so they wanted to protect themselves. They never thought that Emperor Chu was also afraid of power.

Liu Bang had many soldiers, so he followed his wishes. Today, Guan Ying came to attack and turned a blind eye. It was really abominable. Gong Ao was walking back and forth in the hall, his spirit was a little dazed.

"Brother, this Jiangling is hard to defend, it's a pity to abandon it!" Gong Ao sighed in a low voice.

Sima Yin's eyes were calm and walked forward slightly and said, "Brother, now that things are here, why bother to worry so much? In my opinion, if you can hold on for a few days, there will be no fisherman in the three counties, so don't worry!"

Gong Ao also felt it was reasonable, "It's just what should we do next? Should we fight with Qin? Or with Han?"

As his words fell, the hall returned to peace. The Qin and Han dynasties were attacked by each other, which was really hard to predict. Sima Yin had a plan, but now he had to wave his hand and sigh, not knowing where to say it.

"I don't know if the Qin and Han dynasties are united?" Gong Ao said to himself.

At this moment, Sima Yin next to him suddenly realized, "Brother, I think the affairs of the three counties of Linjiang were controlled by the Qin and Han Dynasties! Otherwise, if Qin attacked, how would the Han Dynasty know that we sent troops to six counties!"

"It can be seen that the Qin and Han dynasties are exactly the same. There was news that the governors of Bashu were Wang Ling and Liu Ji's old friend, but I didn't think too much about it. It seems that this is probably what happened."

After hearing Sima Yin's words, Gong Ao frowned slightly, "Things are probably like this, but unfortunately there is no way to remedy it."

"Brother, I have a plan that may relieve my worries. And we are a fisherman, but I am afraid that my brother will not leave." Sima Yin said thoughtfully.

Gong Ao's eyes were slightly bright, "What's the plan? Now that Jiujiang is completely lost, there is no ten left in Linjiang, so what else can I bear to let go? It would be great if I had followed Wei'er's words at the beginning."

"Jiangling is the largest capital in Linjiang. There are Han troops in the east and Qin troops in the northwest. Brothers can release news, abandon the city and flee, and then publish news with the Qin and Han armies."

"When I run away from the north gate, open the east and west gates, and the Qin and Han dynasties enter the city, there will definitely be a battle! It can be regarded as avenging the deep hatred these days!" Sima Yin gritted his teeth.

After hearing this, Gong Ao felt a little reluctant, "Is this inappropriate? I still don't know if they are accomplices. If we leave, the two armies will celebrate the merits, and I will be even more ashamed!"

"Don't worry, brother, if Guan Ying finished discussing with Qin, he would not attack first and then push forward, and he would definitely move forward unanimously, which shows that the two armies have no contact."

"The only alliance is that when the Qin army came to attack Xiling recently, Liu Ji took the opportunity to occupy Xiakou, there was no contact except this. Liu Ji was loyal to the King of Chu and would definitely not have too much activity with the Qin army."

The two discussed for a while and agreed to Sima Yin's plan. So they put all the money and jewelry into boxes at night and transported them to Hengshan County by deputy general.

Gongao and Sima Yin each led 5,000 militias and assembled in the early morning. Then they sent out a hundred cavalry to disperse the news of Gongao's escape. At the same time, another envoy went to the Qin and Han battalions.

After Zhang Han and Wang left and recuperated their troops, they were stationed again twenty miles west of Jiangling, while Guan Ying was ten miles east, and both armies were not aware of the situation.

The two envoys arrived in the Qin and Han camp tents one after another. Zhang Han first hurriedly received them. After hearing the news, he was a little surprised and had a little doubt in his eyes.

"Then Jiangling is the capital of Linjiang County. How could he give up someone?" Zhang Han asked very directly.

"General, don't believe it. My king originally had two counties and a thousand miles away. Unexpectedly, he was easily captured by his son Liu Ji. Therefore, he presented Jiangling to the Qin army to strengthen his army's power and avenge the king!"

Zhang Han was walking back and forth, not knowing whether it was true or not. Seeing this, the envoy had to present Gong Ao's handwritten silk book. Zhang Han was a little convinced, and then asked Wang Li to lead 10,000 troops to Jiangling City first, and then he did not dare to be careless.

On the other hand, Guan Ying in the Han camp also wanted to attack Jiangling, and was also afraid that Gong Ao brave and brave. It was rare to be named a marquis and ministers with his own strength. Although he was ridiculed on the surface, he admired him in his heart.

Just as he thought about it, the envoy of Jiangling asked for a visit, but Guan Ying did not know his intention, but he should not be negligent. He immediately asked to enter the account and ask about the situation. The envoy was not vague and explained the situation directly.

Guan Ying was beside him, and he was a little dazed when he heard it, "This is unlikely. That is Linjiang Capital. How could he give it to us easily?"

"General, don't doubt that the Emperor of Chu has appointed our king as the King of Hengshan, so he abandoned Linjiang and went to Hengshan. If the Qin people's tiger and wolf masters were captured by him, where would the Chu army take as a stronghold? Therefore, the king decided to present Jiangling to Emperor Chu, and then conquer Bashu, and resolve the disaster to Qin as soon as possible!"

Guan Ying was just a common man. After hearing his words, he did not think too much, but just felt it was reasonable, "Since that's the case, I will go to Jiangling on the date."

The envoy waved his hand quickly, "General, this is impossible. The king has withdrawn from Jiangling. Now it is just an empty city. If the general does not take action early, he may be gained by the Qin people. Wan Wang thinks."

"I am the envoy of King Hengshan, and I don't talk much, so I will say goodbye for the time being."

Guan Ying wanted to keep him, but the man had already left the tent and headed towards Hengshan. At this time, Gongao and Sima Yin had already led the soldiers and the people to Jiangling and cross the river to Hengshan.

In Jiangling, which was prosperous in the morning, there are only some old, weak and remnants who are unwilling to leave, and the indigenous people. After crossing the river, when they looked at Jiangling, they sighed a little after looking at Jiangling who was a little missed.

Sima Yin immediately rode his horse and said jokingly: "It's over here, and it's useless to say more. Brother wants to watch the Qin and Han dynasties fight? Could it be that he will kill him again?"

Gong Ao was beside him, smiling, "Kill back? It's impossible, but in my opinion, Guan Ying is so lucky, with only a few thousand soldiers, how can he compete with tens of thousands of soldiers in Qin?"

"Brother is right, I wonder if I will set off?"

"Go to Bin County." Gong Ao said reluctantly.

Wang Li had already arrived outside Jiangling City at this moment. Seeing that the city gate was half-closed, he frowned slightly, and then ordered the soldiers to move forward slowly with their shields. He knew that there was still no movement in the city gate tower, which made Wang Li breathe a sigh of relief.

"It seems that the old man Gong Ao is indeed sincere." Wang Li said with sighing.

At this moment, outside the east gate of Jiangling City, Guan Ying's soldiers arrived. Seeing that the city gate was half open, they were overjoyed and many soldiers entered one after another.
