At the same time, Zhuge Jin sent three generals to kill from the south gate, north gate, and west gate at the same time, each leading 10,000 horses. ￥f

Outside the city of Jiangling, Zhou Yu, the governor of the Wu army, was watching the battle, watching the catapults continue to smash towards the east gate, and the perimeter of the city wall had been smashed to pieces, so he laughed, thinking that after a while, he could launch a real general attack.

Suddenly, a horse galloped over, ran to Zhou Yu's side, and shouted loudly: "Dadu Governor, the Han army is out of the city, from the south gate, the west gate, and the north gate, the momentum is huge, and they are attacking the camp outside the three gates, and the generals ask the Dadu Governor for orders......"

"Out of town? There were no generals in the Han army except Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Tian Yu, and Yan Yan, so how could they go out of the city to attack? Zhou Yu was also taken aback, since the secret agent found out that Zhuge Jin sent Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's families away, Zhou Yu had already made a plan, for today.

At this time, he created an atmosphere for a day, which was completely disrupted, because he transferred all his troops to the east gate, which is why he has been using catapults to attack the east gate constantly, and the camp outside the other three city gates has only one or two thousand troops left, and it will definitely be difficult to face the attack of the Han army.

He immediately made a decision and immediately ordered: "Pan Zhang, Dong Xi, and Jiang Qin listen to the order!" ”

"The last general!" Pan Zhang, Dong Xi, and Jiang Qin shouted in unison.

"Order the three of you to lead 5,000 men and horses to gallop to the aid of the three large battalions, and be sure to repel the Han army. It is very likely that the Han army wants to break through the net, and they must not be allowed to break through and force them back to the city! ”

"No!"

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Qin, Pan Zhang, and Dong Xi immediately led their men and horses to gallop to the three city gates.

Although Zhou Yu besieged the city with 150,000 horses this time, in his estimate, 50,000 horses could capture Jiangling City. Therefore, the soldiers and horses he used were actually only 50,000, and the remaining 100,000 were on the sidelines.

In Jiangling City, Zhuge Jin returned to the east gate, and saw that the Wu army had begun to move troops, so he immediately went downstairs and said to Fu Tong: "General Fu." Please, don't care about the soldiers and horses on both wings, and kill directly at Zhou Yu's Chinese army, as long as Zhou Yu's Chinese army retreats, the command of the two wings will fail! ”

Fu Tong nodded, hugged Zhuge Jin on horseback, and said, "No! ”

"Open the gates and lower the drawbridge!" Zhuge Jin immediately ordered.

With Zhuge Jin's order, the soldiers opened the city gate first. Then put down the drawbridge, and as soon as the drawbridge was lowered, Fu Tong and other five thousand cavalry rushed out of the city gate and rushed straight to Zhou Yu's Chinese army.

Zhou Yu was watching the battle, and suddenly saw that soldiers and horses had also been killed here at the East Gate, so he sneered and said, "I see, Zhuge Jin seems to be quite useful. But. Unfortunately, this is the focus of my attack. There are 30,000 soldiers and horses, and the 100,000 army behind him is as stable as a rock, and there are only thousands of cavalry, how can I withstand it? Ling Cao, Chen Wu! ”

"The last general!"

"Eight hundred crossbowmen each, scattered on the left and right flanks, and shoot the enemy's horses!"

"No!" Ling Cao and Chen Wu gladly accepted the order. Each of them led the crowd to separate the two sides.

Song Qian, who was distributed on the left flank, and He Qi on the right flank, saw Fu Tong rushing out with five thousand cavalry, and they both sneered, thinking that how could such a small number of people be the opponent of the Wu army, so they sent someone to ask for the help of Zhou Yu of the Chinese army.

Zhou Yu believed that the Chinese army had the strength to deal with the 5,000 cavalry. Therefore, the proposal of Song Qian and He Qi was rejected, and they were only allowed to watch the battle on both wings and recuperate, because they were the main force when attacking the city.

Xu Sheng and Ding Feng were in the rear army, and when they heard that the Han army was out of the city, they rode their horses to the Chinese army, and after seeing Zhou Yu, they asked for orders to meet the battle.

Zhou Yu still rejected it, leaving Xu Sheng to guard him and let Ding Feng go back to suppress the formation.

As he spoke, Fu Tong and the others rushed over, and Ling Cao and Chen Wu immediately led the crossbowmen to shoot at them, focusing on the Han army's horses.

For a while, thousands of crossbow arrows shot at the horses of the Han army, Fu Tong and others were all people who dared to die, without the slightest fear, Fu Tong led a thousand cavalry of the front army to escape, and the four thousand cavalry behind him were all turned on their backs. But as soon as the four thousand horsemen fell from their horses, they did not panic, but quickly ran forward with their weapons in hand. The speed of the run was extremely amazing, and it was not far behind Fu Tong.

Zhou Yu was taken aback when he saw this scene, he didn't expect that there were people in the Han army who were so good at running, and they could be compared to the army composed of the Shanyue people he had recruited. However, he is still full of confidence and does not take these people seriously at all.

At this time, Fu Tong's cavalry team was about to gallop to the front army, and the crossbowmen of the front army suddenly fired ten thousand arrows, shooting the war horses under the seats of Fu Tong and others.

"Herod'......"

The horses let out a series of mournful screams, the arrows penetrated the body, blood flowed everywhere, some of the war horses were injured and continued to run forward, and when dozens of arrows were hit in the body, the war horses finally couldn't resist the pain and fell to the ground with a bang.

Fu Tong and the others had already been prepared, and the moment the war horse fell to the ground, they immediately jumped off the horse's back so that they would not fall to the ground. As soon as everyone landed, they immediately pulled out the flying knives equipped on their waists, and shot towards Wu Jun's crossbowmen, and for a while, the cold light pierced Wu Jun's throat, and all the crossbowmen in the front row of the front army died.

However, the counterattack of the Han army did not end there, after each person was equipped with seven flying knives, he immediately pulled out his waist and matched, and his left hand stretched out his back, and with a strong pull, he took out the round rattan card that had been carried behind his back, holding the rattan card in one hand and the bright saber in the other, and quickly formed a defensive line, and quickly rushed towards the front army of the Wu army.

"Whoosh! Sou! Whoosh......"

Countless arrows shot towards Fu Tong and a thousand others, all of which were blocked by the rattan cards held in a thousand hands, at this time Fu Tong and the others approached the front army of the Wu army, and the people of the front army saw that Fu Tong and the others were not wearing armor, but all of them were armor made of rattan, and the whole person was wrapped in that layer of rattan armor, and the arrows hit their bodies, and they could not penetrate.

"Boom!"

Fu Tong and a thousand other rattan armor soldiers quickly rushed into the front army of the Wu army, and the bows and crossbowmen of the Wu army all fell to the ground. Blood gushed and spilled all over the ground.

The four thousand soldiers behind Fu Tong who had lost their horses, seeing Fu Tong and the others rushing over, were also brave, and the crossbow arrows shot by the crossbowmen distributed on both wings could not penetrate the armor on their bodies. As soon as the crossbow bolt hit the rattan armor they were wearing, it was immediately bounced out, which surprised Ling Cao and Chen Wu.

At the same time, among the four thousand soldiers, two thousand immediately pounced on the two wings where Ling Cao and Chen Wu were, the rattan brand to protect the face, the rattan armor to protect the body, and the saber in his hand was clenched, and he rushed forward. immediately killed Wu Jun's crying father and called his mother.

Ling Cao, Chen Wu and others also raised their weapons and slashed, but for some reason, their blades could not pierce the rattan armor on the Han army, and in desperation, they just scattered and fled.

Zhou Yu rode on horseback, and saw that Fu Tong and the others were unstoppable, and the armor on his body was only made of rattan, how could it be that arrows could not be pierced, knives could not be cut, and spears could not be pierced.

He couldn't help but be taken aback. Seeing that the soldiers he had arranged were scattered by Fu Tong and others like this, the weapons in Wu Jun's hands lost their effect. They scuffled with the enemy, but they were wounded by the enemy's weapons, and in just a few moments, the Wu army lost more than 2,000 people.

It was only at this moment that he realized that this group of people was not cavalry at all, but infantry. The war horse was just a tool to send these 5,000 people to the front line, and its purpose was to let this group of people disrupt his Chinese army.

The counterattack of the Han army achieved its goal, the front of the Wu army could not resist, and Fu Tong and a thousand other people were overwhelmed, although they were blocked by the Wu army. But it's easy to break through. At this time, the other 4,000 people under Fu Tong rushed over together, gathered together with Fu Tong, and quickly condensed into a very powerful force.

The soldiers of the Wu army rushed up to block it, but Fu Tong and the other 5,000 people were like a rolling hill, no matter how many people came, there was only one final result, that is, death.

"Metropolitan Governor, the Han army is unstoppable, what should I do at this time?" Xu Sheng was anxious, and when he saw that the former soldiers Ling Cao and Chen Wu were chased by the Han army and fled back like dogs, and the soldiers all lost their armor, he immediately asked.

Zhou Yu had already made up his mind that it would be a matter of time before he retreated, but the reason why he did not retreat was because he wanted to see clearly whether Fu Tong and the other rattan armor soldiers had any weaknesses. However, after observing for so long, he has never been able to see the weakness of the vine armor soldiers, the vine armor soldiers are invulnerable, and killing Wu soldiers is like chopping melons and vegetables.

Xu Sheng saw that Fu Tong and the others were getting closer and closer, and the front army was defeated, so he was anxious and shouted: "Governor, retreat, avoid the edge for the time being, and fight again in the future!" ”

Zhou Yu frowned, and when he saw Fu Tong taking the lead, his body was drenched in blood, and his combat bravery was abnormal, so he immediately shouted: "Retreat!" ”

As soon as the voice fell, Xu Sheng didn't have time to give an order, and suddenly heard a noisy sound behind the Wu army, and the camp where the rear army stored grain and grass suddenly caught fire, and the camps on the left and right wings were also on fire, and at the same time, in the firelight, the big flag of the word "Han" fluttered in the wind, and a young general carried a big knife with more than 1,000 cavalry to kill from behind.

Zhou Yu turned his head and saw this scene, and immediately shouted: "The Han army is surrounded and killed, where is the Han army coming from behind?" ”

There were enemies in front and behind, but for the Wu army, the grain and grass camp was the most important, and if all of them were burned, then they would lose their foothold in Jingzhou. Zhou Yu immediately made a decision and shouted loudly: "After the ironclad army is broken, the rear team will become the front team, and the whole army will withdraw to the camp, and the grain and grass must not be lost, put out the fire!" ”

Xu Sheng received the order, and with the five thousand ironclad troops surrounding Zhou Yu, he immediately formed a solid wall and let the Wu army of the former army come back, with the purpose of blocking the rattan armor soldiers of Fu Tong and others.

Ding Feng, who was in the rear army, immediately changed his formation, returned to the camp to fight the fire, and tens of thousands of troops retreated on all fronts.

Fu Tong pursued and killed the Wu army all the way, and later saw that after Xu Sheng's ironclad army was broken, the Wu army retreated on all fronts, and there was a fire behind the Wu army's camp, so he immediately looked very excited, and was about to pursue forward, but a horse rushed out of the city, bringing Zhuge Jin's order to let Fu Tong withdraw his troops back to the city.

Fu Tong was unwilling and tried to rush the ironclad army led by Xu Sheng, but he rushed twice, but did not rush through, and then withdrew his army back to the city. On the way back to the city, Fu Tong encountered the soldiers and horses withdrawn from the south, north, and west gates, and killed them with red eyes, so they directly bumped into Pan Zhang's military horses. Fu Tong became more and more heroic, beheaded Pan Zhang's general Ma Zhong, and carried Ma Zhong's head back to the city to ask for merit.

The Wu army retreated in response, and the small Han cavalry that appeared disappeared, and the fire in the camp did not cause a catastrophe because of the timely rescue. Zhou Yu suffered this loss. I was annoyed in my heart, but I couldn't think of where another army came from the Han army.

As soon as the battle ended, the Wu army lost more than 10,000 soldiers in this battle, while the Han army only lost more than 1,000 people who feinted to attack the Wu army camp outside the south, north and west gates, and the Han army won the victory for the first time after being invaded.

Sima Lang didn't want to see this result the most, what he didn't expect was that the Han army still had such combat effectiveness. But on the surface. He still congratulated Zhuge Jin.

After the victory, when the two of them drank again, Zhuge Jin explained the reason, it turned out that today's victory was actually he acted according to the strategy left by Zhuge Liang, Sima Lang was also shocked after hearing it, and couldn't help but admire Zhuge Liang.

……

In an abandoned village fifty miles north of Jiangling City, Sima Yi and Jia Kui waited quietly. Ten strong men were guarding him.

"General, last time you asked General Wen to go back and report the news. The subordinates were a little curious, when we were also employing people, why did the general let General Wen never return? Jia Kui sat by the bonfire, looked at Sima Yi opposite, and asked.

Sima Yi was closing his eyes and recuperating, although he did not open his eyes. But his ears listened carefully, his mouth squirmed, and he said: "There are hussar general Zhang He, right general Chen Dao, plus the 50,000 naval army of Huwei General Gan Ning, which is enough for me to control everything." It is the time for the emperor to employ people, so it is not a waste of manpower to let Wen Ping return to the emperor. ”

Jia Kui's puzzled question was finally answered, and he stopped talking.

Wen Ping originally followed Sima Yi to Dangyang, and when Sima Yi arranged everything, he sent Wen Ping back, so Jia Kui asked this question.

After a long while, a rush of horses' hooves was heard outside the village, Sima Yi suddenly opened his eyes, hurriedly stood up, and said to Jia Kui: "Go out to meet General Guan!" ”

When the group came outside, they saw a young general with a big knife turning over and dismounting, Sima Yi smiled and hugged his fists and said, "General Guan, I've been waiting for you here for a long time, the matter should have been successful, right?" ”

The person who was called General Guan was only fifteen or sixteen years old, with a handsome face, eyes like meteors, red lips and white teeth, and was Guan Ping, the eldest son of Guan Yu, the general of the Han Kingdom. As soon as Guan Ping dismounted, he bowed to Sima Yi and said: "The general is resourceful, then Zhou Yu really hit the plan, but it's a pity that the general gave me too few soldiers and horses, and I can't let me kill happily, otherwise, I will burn Zhou Yu's grain and grass camp and let the Wu army all starve to death." ”

Sima Yi said: "General Guan doesn't have to be like this, my Huaxia Kingdom and Wu Kingdom are also allies. Today, an exception was made to help General Guan, and there was a reason for it. Since we have succeeded today, should General Guan also return to our Huaxia Kingdom as agreed? ”

"Nope! I'm going to look for my father, and I told my mother before I left that I wouldn't go back until I found my father. General, as long as I find my father, I will return to Huaxia Kingdom according to our original agreement. Guan Ping stubbornly said.

Sima Yi nodded and said, "Filial piety comes first, and General Guan is also a filial person, since this is the case, it is not easy for me to stop it." It's just that, you remember, you must not act recklessly in the future, if I hadn't met you first, how could you be the opponent of Zhou Yu's 150,000 army alone? ”

Guan Ping said: "What are you afraid of, it's a big deal to die!" ”

"General Guan's courage will naturally not deny it, but death must be deserved, death is valuable, and it makes no sense for you to die like this. Here are fifty gold coins, seven days' food and water, which you have with you, and you will not go hungry on the road, and this horse will be given to you. Sima Yi asked the soldier to bring the tray, food, and water, and handed them to Guan Ping.

Guan Ping said: "General Xie." After I left, I hoped that the general would take care of my mother and brother, as well as my third uncle's family. ”

"Don't worry, the emperor will take care of the Guan and Zhang families, after seeing your father, remember to tell your father, just say that the emperor will always wait for him in Luoyang City, as long as he wants, he can go to see the emperor at any time. Your home will also be located in Luoyang. ”

Guan Ping nodded, hugged his fists and said, "Then I will leave!" ”

After speaking, he took the things given by Sima Yi, rode on his war horse, carried only a short sword, and rode away. Soon it disappeared into the night.

Jia Kui saw Guan Ping leaving and asked, "General, Guan Ping is also a general, wouldn't it be a pity to let him go back like this?" ”

"As long as Guan Yu is attached, Guan Ping will naturally be attached. Zhang Fei will too. The emperor found Guan Yu's handwriting in the dilapidated land temple by the Hanshui River, so he asked me to do this. Now, pack up your troops and withdraw your troops back to the camp. Early tomorrow morning, the army marched on all fronts, and the troops approached the city of Jiangling to compete with the Wu army. ”

Jia Kui said: "But the emperor asked us to garrison Dangyang and cut off the connection between Xiangyang and Jiangling, and the general was not allowed to make a holy decree." Sending troops privately, and still competing with the allies, will it cause a dispute between the two countries? ”

"Outside, the military order is not subject to it, not to mention that the emperor has appointed me as the general of the expedition to the south, with full authority to deal with the affairs of the expedition to the south, and the expedition to the south refers to the place south of Jiangling. If the emperor blames it. I bear all the guilt. It's none of your business. Also, you send someone to inform the Huwei general Gan Ning, so that his 50,000 naval army will turn around and return to the area of Jiangling from the Yangtze River, cross the river, and cut off the connection between the four counties of Jingnan and Jiangling. Sima Yi said with a cold face.

Jia Kui was shocked. I thought that this Sima Yi was too bold, but he was the general of Zhengnan, how could he dare to give orders to Gan Ning. He paused for a moment and asked, "General, Gan Ning is one of the Five Tiger Generals." He is also the general of Huwei who was personally appointed by the emperor, and the general's current official rank is only the same as that of General Gan, so I am afraid of ......"

"I have the emperor's personal decree, responsible for the full power of the southern expedition, anyone must cooperate in the battle, must listen to my dispatch, if the military order can not be unified, how to complete the southern expedition? You took the emperor's edict to me, personally went to Jingling to see Gan Ning, Chen said the stakes, and asked Chen to send troops by land, and garrison Huarong Dao. ”

As the so-called official level crushes people to death, Jia Kui is the former champion of martial arts, and was named the general of the left chariot cavalry, but in terms of grade, he is one level lower than Sima Yi, and he is from the first grade. After hearing this, he couldn't object, so he hugged his fists and said, "No! Subordinates obey! ”

Sima Yi nodded, turned to the thousand cavalrymen and said, "Everyone has worked hard, now the whole army is back to the camp." ”

When Sima Yi and the others returned to the camp not long ago, a scout came to report, saying that there were two groups of people and horses who took the road from Dangyang, and the scout suspected that they had seen Sun Ce, the emperor of Wu, and Zhou Tai, the general, and the scout said that they had seen Zhuge Liang.

When the two scouts gathered to Sima Yi, Sima Yi just laughed and didn't say much, and ordered everyone not to pursue, remove all the protection in the Dangyang area, and prepare to pull out the camp tomorrow and march towards Jiangling. At the same time, Sima Yi sent someone to inform Zhang He, asking him to send troops from Yiling, go up the Shuojiang River, attack Zigui, Wuxian, and Yufu, and garrison Yufu County in Yizhou Ba County with his army and horses, waiting for an opportunity.

In addition, Sima Yi assigned a Zhonglang to lead 5,000 troops to garrison Yidao and control both sides of the Yangtze River.

After the order was issued, the Huaxia army made preparations one after another, just waiting for Pingming to pull out the camp and set up the village.

In Jiangling City, Zhuge Jin won a big victory, and even Fu Tong and the others were unscathed, and they couldn't help but rely on these five thousand pairs of rattan armor.

In the middle of the night, the city guard sergeant suddenly saw a small group of people approaching the city, and after asking, he knew that Zhuge Liang had returned with Shamoke, and the city guard immediately opened the door and put it in, and sent someone to inform Zhuge Jin.

Zhuge Jin was overjoyed when he heard that Zhuge Liang was back, so he went to greet him in person, and after some greetings, he was welcomed into the room.

"Brother, how is the movement of the Wu army these days?" As soon as Zhuge Liang entered the hall, he didn't ask anything else, but specifically asked about Wu Jun's movements.

Zhuge Jin then told Zhuge Liang about a fierce battle day and night, and also told Zhuge Liang about the fire in Zhou Yu's camp.

After Zhuge Liang heard this, he said suspiciously: "It's strange, I didn't leave any military horses outside the city, how did Zhou Yu's camp catch fire?" ”

Zhuge Jin said: "I also wonder, but I don't know where the soldiers and horses did it, and I also know that you secretly left a hand and let people cooperate outside." ”

Zhuge Liang thought for a while and said with a smile: "Sima Yi's army is stationed in Dangyang, and the troops are divided into three ways to become a zigzag, which is intended to restrain the Wu army. Brother, I heard that Sima Lang was here, why didn't he see him? ”

"Oh, I'm going to send someone to call him. Kong Ming, how about you negotiate with the Emperor of Huaxia? ”

"He is indeed a master, and his insight is extraordinary, which I cannot match."

After listening to Zhuge Liang's words, Zhuge Jin already understood, and said: "I just feel a little ashamed of Your Majesty by doing this......"

"Brother. Your Majesty guards against his sworn brothers like thieves, how can we rest assured? In the past five years, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have been left in Jingnan, although they have the name of the general and the great Sima, but they do not have the reality of the general and the great Sima, I think my brother also witnessed it with his own eyes in Jingnan. How did Guan and Zhang treat His Majesty? ”

Zhuge Jin shook his head and said, "Everything is for our Zhuge clan, I hope this time you are really not mistaken, and Huaxia Kingdom can become your place of use." ”

"Brother, don't worry."

After the two of them finished discussing, they asked people to invite Sima Lang. Zhuge Liang knew that Sima Lang was Sima Yi's eldest brother and the secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and he was also a powerful person in Huaxia, so he was ready to pass him. to achieve their own big plans.

Soon, Sima Lang came to the front hall and saw Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang, although he had not seen Zhuge Liang, but he saw that his appearance was almost the same as Zhuge Jin, and he could also speculate, and immediately hugged his fists and said: "I have seen two Zhuge adults." ”

Zhuge Liang smiled: "Lord Sima has good eyesight, since he already knows who I am." Then I won't introduce myself anymore, please be seated. ”

After Sima Lang sat down. asked, "Isn't Prime Minister Zhuge in Xiangyang?" ”

"This time, that time. Lord Sima, let's stop being polite, and get straight to the point, I have a plan to help Huaxia Kingdom win Jingzhou except for Jiangxia. I wonder if Master Sima is willing to listen? ”

"Of course. However, I think there must be any conditions for Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng's plan, right? "Sima Lang is not stupid.

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Of course, after I help Huaxia State seize the four counties of Jiangling and Jingnan, it will be annexed to Huaxia Kingdom, and Huaxia Kingdom should also be dealt with impartially." Reward me for my deeds. ”

"This is natural, Huaxia has always been rewarded for meritorious service, punished for mistakes, rewards and punishments are clear, and there is no favoritism."

"I'm relieved about this." Zhuge Liang then told his long-brewing plan.

After hearing this, Sima Lang couldn't help but feel ecstatic and said: "If this is the case, it is really a blessing for the people of Jingzhou." ”

"Well, you will go out of the city at this moment, gallop to Dangyang overnight, your younger brother Sima Yi will garrison the army there, and you will tell him the strategy, so that he can just come to take Jiangling tomorrow." Zhuge Liang said.

"Okay, I'll get out of town."

That night, Sima Lang hurried up and left Jiangling City under the escort of Fu Tong. At the same time, Zhuge Liang took advantage of the defeat of the Wu army and asked Shamoke to take people out of the city and return to Wuling, while he asked his brother Zhuge Jin to take half of the soldiers and horses in the city out of the city secretly and set up a camp outside the south gate.

Although the Wu army was defeated, the scouts were still there, and the actions of the Han army were naturally watched by the scouts. So, the scout hurriedly reported the abnormal behavior in Jiangling City to Zhou Yu.

After Zhou Yu heard it, he discussed with the generals: "Zhuge Jin personally led the troops out of the city and set up a camp at the south gate, then there must be someone in the city to garrison, I heard that Liu Bei has declared Zhuge Liang a national thief, just because the Huaxia army was well defended in Dangyang and never let go of a scout of the Han army, so no one in Jiangling City knew." This must be Zhuge Liang's return to Jiangling City, and the group of people at night must also be Zhuge Liang and others. It seems that he wanted to use the camps outside the city as horns, so as not to attack our army again. This Zhuge Liang is smarter than his brother Zhuge Jin, and he knows that trapping is not the best policy. ”

"Governor, how do we deal with that?" Jiang Qin asked.

"It's okay, let's stop for a day, the soldiers are all tired today, and they can't attack again, at this time, Your Majesty should also ......"

"Your Majesty has arrived!" At this moment, a shout suddenly came from outside the tent, and Sun Ce walked in first, followed by Zhou Tai.

In the tent, Zhou Yu and the others bowed together: "The ministers knock to see Your Majesty!" ”

"No courtesy." Sun Ce came back, strode onto the big seat, and asked, "What is the situation in Jiangling City?" ”

"The minister feinted to attack for a day and night today, but unexpectedly, someone in the city killed, wearing a rattan armor, all invulnerable, our army could not resist, lost more than 10,000 soldiers, and had no choice but to retreat. Zhuge Liang also made a treacherous plan, cooperated with the soldiers in the city, and almost burned our army's grain and grass, but fortunately, the rescue was timely and did not make a big mistake. Zhou Yu simply explained the events of today's day and reported to Sun Ce.

Sun Ce was also dusty, and after hearing Zhou Yu's words, he didn't blame, but just sighed and said, "It seems that the strength of the Han army is still there." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the top priority should be to let the soldiers rest for a day first, and then start the army after tomorrow. With hundreds of thousands of troops attacking Gangneung at the same time, the Gangneung city wall was almost smashed by our army with catapults today, and if it is stormed, it may be possible to take Gangneung within three days. ”

Sun Ce nodded and said, "Jiangling is the most difficult bone to gnaw in the Han Kingdom. It's a pity that we underestimated at the time, so we were defeated. Gong Jin, you just do it according to your train of thought, you don't have to tell me, I said, you are in charge of commanding the army, and you will be in charge of the battle, and you will leave it to me! ”

Zhou Yu wanted to say something. But when the words came to his lips, he held back again. Because he knows Sun Ce's personality, if he refutes it, he will definitely not hear anything good. In his heart, Sun Ce is the emperor, and charging into battle should be a general's business, where is the reason why the emperor personally risked the arrow, although he knew that Sun Ce was brave, but he was not afraid of 10,000. I'm afraid that in case, in case Sun Ce has three longs and two shorts. To whom will the foundation of the Kingdom of Wu be entrusted?

Sun Ce seemed to see what Zhou Yu was thinking, patted Zhou Yu's shoulder with a smile, and said, "Don't worry, I'm blessed with Qitian, it's going to be fine." ”

About Pingming, Sima Lang galloped to Dangyang. Non-stop, ran directly to Sima Yi's camp, everyone knew Sima Lang, and they didn't dare to stop it, so the road was unimpeded.

Sima Yi just got up. After putting on his armor and hanging his sword, he was about to go out, when he suddenly saw his brother coming in from a dusty man, so he hurried in and asked, "Where did my brother come from?" ”

"Gangneung! Zhongda, fast ...... Fast...... Hurry up and send troops to Gangneung, and be sure to rush to Gangneung before noon, so that Gangneung City will be our army's. Sima Lang hurriedly said.

"Brother, you take your time, what's going on?" Sima Yi seemed very steady and asked unhurriedly.

"Oh, Zhongda, send troops to Jiangling quickly, if you have anything to say, I'll talk about it on the road!"

Sima Yi smiled and said, "Brother, when you arrived here, a light cavalry of our army had already arrived at Jiangling City, and I had already sent Niu Jin." ”

Sima Lang was also very surprised, and immediately said exactly what Zhuge Liang said to him.

After hearing this, Sima Yi nodded, held his chin and said, "Zhuge Kongming is really a wise man...... Brother, without further ado, I'll go on the road, although Niu Jin goes, there are few soldiers and horses, if Wu Guo turns his face, it is not enough to resist the Wu army, brother has a hard journey, and rest here......"

"It's all at this juncture, what else are you resting for? Don't die tired, Gangneung City is important! ”

So, the two brothers went on the road together, Sima Yi led 10,000 cavalry in front, Sima Lang led 30,000 infantry to follow, all the way to Jiangling City.

At the same time, under the city of Jiangling, Niu Jin led a thousand light horsemen to gallop back and forth, and when he came to the west gate, he saw that the city wall was heavily defended, and when he turned his head to leave, he was stopped by a person.

"General, slow!"

Niu Jin originally came to Jiangling to inquire about the news, as an outpost force, just to patrol, and did not have any intention of attacking the city. He turned around and saw a person standing on the city gate, that person he had seen, it was Zhuge Liang who Sima Yi asked him to let go last night, and immediately reined in the horse and asked, "What did the prime minister call me?" ”

The west gate suddenly lowered the drawbridge, the city gate opened, and Zhuge Liang shouted: "General, please enter the city, Jiangling City is yours, so as not to be occupied by the Wu army." ”

Niu Jin was suspicious for a while, did not dare to enter the city, and hesitated outside.

Zhuge Liang saw Niu Jin hesitating there, so he said: "I have withdrawn all the soldiers and horses outside the city, if you don't enter, you will inevitably be taken advantage of by the Wu army, don't hesitate anymore!" ”

Niu Jin said: "Don't withdraw first, the general's army has not arrived, I only have a thousand people, I am afraid that I will not be able to defend Jiangling City, you wait until noon, as soon as my army arrives, it will inevitably enter the city." ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Okay, you go back and tell Sima Yi and ask him to come quickly, after noon, Wu is suspicious, you can't occupy Jiangling City." ”

"Got it." After Niu Jin finished speaking, he turned around and left, returning the same way with a thousand light horsemen to meet Sima Yi.

Zhuge Liang stood on the city wall, ordered people to close the city gate, raised the suspension bridge, and shouted: "Enter through the north gate at noon!" ”

After hearing this, Fu Tong asked: "Prime Minister, if you shout so loudly, if you are heard by the Wu army scouts, what should you do?" ”

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "What you shouted is for the Wu army scouts to hear, you come here, and at noon, you only need to ......"

After Fu Tong heard this, he laughed and immediately said: "Prime minister's clever plan, the Wu people are going to lose their soldiers and horses again." ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Since you have to decide to return to the Huaxia Kingdom, you naturally have to consume the Wu army and fight a few beautiful battles in order to gain a foothold in the Huaxia Kingdom." ”

Fu Tong said: "The last general understands. ”

……

In the camp of the Wu army, the scouts informed Sun Ce and Zhou Yu of all the conversations between Zhuge Liang and Niu Jin that they heard outside the west gate of Jiangling City.

After Sun Ce and Zhou Yu heard this, they couldn't help but feel shocked.

Zhou Yu said: "Your Majesty, it seems that Zhuge Liang wants to dedicate Jiangling City to Huaxia Kingdom, so that our army will fight hard here, lose troops and lose generals, and will not gain anything." ”

Sun Ce said: "Since they met at the north gate, the time is set at noon, as long as our army sends troops to block Sima Yi's march, and then our army disguises itself as the Huaxia army to enter Jiangling City, then Jiangling City can be at your fingertips." ”

"Your Majesty is wise. It's just that sending people to obstruct Sima Yi can't have a conflict, and the general military general Sima Yi will never take it seriously, I went to see Sima Yi in person, and I also want to meet this general who conquered the south for a while. Zhou Yu said.

"Nope! I'll go! I am the emperor, Sima Yi will never dare to be presumptuous when he sees me, I want to pull him to narrate, and he can't disobey. You went, but it was not good. Sun Ce said.

Zhou Yu nodded and said, "The minister obeys." ”

The plan was decided, Sun Ce entrusted Zhou Yu to take full responsibility for this matter, and he was alone with more than a dozen relatives and waited for Sima Yi on the way to Jiangling City.

Zhou Yu gathered Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Ling Cao, Chen Wu, Dong Xi, Pan Zhang, Xu Sheng, Ding Feng, Song Qian, He Qi and other generals, and assigned orders one by one, preparing to seize Jiangling City with all their might.

Not long after, another scout came to report that there were soldiers and horses in Gangneung City, and they entered the camp outside the city from the south gate, and they went back and forth several times. After hearing this, Zhou Yu was even more convinced, and he had long known that Zhuge Liang had a tendency to defect to Huaxia, but he never understood why Zhuge Liang didn't directly hang the military flag of Huaxia Kingdom at the head of the city and surrendered directly.

Although I don't understand what Zhuge Liang thinks, this is beneficial to Wu State, so that Wu State can also see the stitches and directly enter Jiangling City, so that Wu State will not have any losses.

Anyway, this time Zhou Yu is ready to take Jiangling City in one go. After everything is scheduled, all that remains is to wait for time.

……

Sima Yi was marching forward, suddenly met Niu Jin back, two met, Niu Jin said what Zhuge Liang said, Sima Yi listened, he immediately urged the army to advance, thousands of horses galloped, the river flowed endlessly, the snow in winter left a long series of horseshoe prints, stepping on the snow and the mud on the snow also became mud.

The army galloped forward for less than thirty miles, and Sima Yi saw that on the way to Jiangling City, a person wearing a dragon robe and a crown was on the way to Jiangling City, and more than a dozen warriors behind him were all wearing gold armor, looking extraordinarily luxurious, it was not Sun Ce, who else could it be.

So, Sima Yi hurriedly raised his hand and ordered his subordinates to stop advancing, and the army stopped, while he rode forward alone, came to a place five meters away from Sun Ce, turned over and dismounted, took a few steps forward, knelt down on one knee, and hugged his fists and said: "Sima Yi, the general of the Huaxia State Expedition to the South, see His Majesty the Emperor of Wu!" ”

"Flat!" Sun Ce said with a smile, raised his hand, and motioned for Sima Yi to get up.

After Sima Yi stood up, he said kindly: "I have heard for a long time that His Majesty the Emperor of Wu is extremely powerful, and when I saw it today, it was indeed not inferior. It's just that the ministers don't know, how did His Majesty the Emperor appear in this wilderness? ”

"Hehe, General Sima, I'm waiting for you here."

"Wait for me?" Sima Yi had already guessed in his heart from the moment he saw Sun Ce, and when he heard Sun Ce say this, he pretended not to know.

"Yes, I heard that General Sima came to the battlefield in person and was ready to cooperate with our army to attack Jiangling, so I specially waited for General Sima again. General Sima, I heard that you are the second champion of liberal arts in Huaxia, and today I see that you are really a talent, I haven't seen such a young talent for a long time, I want to sit down with General Sima and chat, I don't know what you think? Sun Ce said, then turned over and dismounted. (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and updated faster!)
