Because Ling Tong was pretending to be the guard of Jingzhou, in order to avoid unnecessary conflicts, he had specially instructed the guards.
The other party could then easily enter the city. Ling Tong saw that this person had sharp eyes, as if he was not an ordinary person, so he immediately raised his vigilance.
"Are you the guard of this city?" Although the man was sent by Zhuge Liang to deliver a letter to Ling Tong, he called Ling Tong by name before he came up.
Because he is still not sure whether this person is Ling Tong, what if he is captured by the enemy again during this period?
If you shouted rashly, it would be like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth.
And because Ling Tong got used to pretending recently, he thought the other party was sent by Sun Quan, so naturally he would not take the initiative to report his name.
The two were on guard against each other, but none of them were kept in the dark.
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting awkward, the messenger recalled what Zhuge Liang had taught him before, and asked again, "Where did Ling Tong go?"
Although he directly called out Ling Tong's name, he didn't have to worry about the enemy's detection.
Because if it really was Jingzhou soldiers and horses who drove Ling Tong away again, then the current defender would naturally show off his achievements deliberately, and would not doubt his own words.
But if the person in front of him is Ling Tong, it means that the other party has never been exposed, so he can naturally admit it generously.
Sure enough, when Ling Tong heard the other party call his name suddenly, the expression on his face instantly became more guarded.
He was uncertain, and it took him a while to tentatively ask: "Who are you? How do you know Ling Tong is here?"
"Haha, General Ling, Your Majesty's orders are here, General, please accept the order!"
When Ling Tong heard that it was His Majesty's oral order, he finally no longer had any hesitation, and knelt down to accept the order almost like a reflex.
However, the messenger said slowly: "This oral order is extremely confidential, and only General Ling can listen to it. Please find a secluded place for the general."
Seeing this, Ling Tong immediately took him to Qiaolou, and dismissed everyone, leaving only a few confidantes to guard the door.
At this point, the messenger had no more doubts in his heart, and finally took out Zhuge Liang's autographed letter and handed it to Ling Tong.
Ling Tong originally thought it was an oral order, but when he saw the letter, he was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately opened it to read.
After a while, he suddenly burst out laughing.
"Hahahaha! Prime Minister Kong Ming really has a clever plan! Please go back and tell the prime minister, and say that certain will follow this plan.
Cooperate with His Majesty's army to completely defeat the enemy! "
After the messenger finished his mission, he didn't stay far for a moment, got up and left.
Ling Tong couldn't stay for a long time, so he had to let the other party go back and return. Seeing the back of the man leaving, Ling Tong's mood gradually improved.
After all, with his preparation today, he was going to put all his eggs in one basket, but suddenly he heard that His Majesty had already planned everything.
Naturally, there is no need to be as decisive as before.
After everything was ready, the army was finally dispatched.
However, the letter only mentioned the big arrangements, as for the details, Ling Tong had to act on his own.
So Ling Tong was going to act tonight, and it was according to the plan he had thought up a long time ago.
It turned out that Ling Tong had already prepared a plan in order to disrupt the enemy's position and create panic among the Sun and Liu coalition forces.
That is to launch an attack on the enemy at night. The enemy only thinks that everything will be safe after crossing the river.
The vigilance has been relaxed a long time ago, so there will not be such a tight defense at night. Although Ling Tong's troops are not many, this battle will definitely achieve great results.
At midnight, Ling Tong finally led his troops and set off quietly.
The first thousand and 840 chapters and three night raids on the river bank
When Guan Yu and Pan Zhang resisted Liu Ke's troops, Sun and Liu's allied forces immediately took the opportunity to board a boat and cross the river.
After several hours of trekking, Sun Quan and Liu Bei finally arrived at the south bank one after another.
Here, the soldiers who crossed the river first had already set up camps to wait for them. Liu Bei and others were also tired, so they simply explained a few words and went to rest.
In fact, not only they were the lords, but almost all the soldiers on the shore were exhausted.
You must know that the plan for crossing the river formulated at the beginning was not so urgent, because Lu Bu's ghost lingered and burned many ships.
In the end, he had no choice but to cross the river at the fastest speed.
But at that time, most of the soldiers were not ready at all, so from Jiangjin City to the pier and then here, the whole journey was a mess.
The soldiers not only had to pack up their supplies, but also became nervous because of the threat of the enemy.
Even on the boat, I can't breathe, and I have to reach the south bank quickly before freeing the boat to go to the north bank to continue picking up people.
So in this way, whether it is mental or physical, they all endured huge hardships, and even Iron Man couldn't bear it.
If the guards on the south bank hadn't cleared up the area and set up camps, these people would have been lying on the open ground.
Therefore, when Xu Shi arrived in the camp, there were one after another snoring sounds, and almost everyone had already fallen asleep.
However, in order to prevent Liu Ke's army from catching up at night, Sun Quan still arranged a team to watch the night.
Among them, the name of the guard was Yao Tai, who was originally the county magistrate of Jiangling, but he came to the south bank first after Sun Quan withdrew his troops.
This time, he was the King of Qin after receiving the order, because the Sun Liu coalition army was too exhausted, and this task finally fell on him.
It was cool at night, Yao Tai patrolled around, then went back trembling, and simply called a few relatives to gather in the tent to drink and warm up.
