Huang Gai, who was ordered to go out of the city to help the battle, and Huang Zhong, who went to intercept and kill the rescue soldiers, were defeated after all, and returned to the city, and the subordinate generals were also defeated.

Tai Shici was abandoned, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

In the past June, the weather has become hotter, and Sun Jian has continuously strengthened the walls of the Lujiang River, hoping to resist the southern Xinjiang troops.

Chu Yi's army arrived thirty miles south of Lujiang City, across the mountain and near the underwater village, the company camp for dozens of miles, the soldiers are coming and going, full of might, all directions are determined, and there is no fearless person in the land of Jiangdong.

Beiwu Lingcao led 30,000 reinforcements from the Jingwu River waterway to the city, and Jiujiang Handang also led 30,000 soldiers and horses to come to help, and there were more than 100,000 soldiers in Lujiang City for a while.

Han Dang immediately dared to leave Jiujiang, apparently he had secretly discussed with Jiangnan, Jiangdong Jiangnan has always had small frictions, but now it is unanimously truce.

Sun Ce, who was confronting Jiang Wei in Beiwu, heard the news that Tai Shi Ci did not know whether he was alive or dead, and he was so angry that he raised his head to the sky and roared, vowing to avenge Tai Shi Ci.

The armies of the Eastern Expedition in Southern Xinjiang arrived at the Lujiang border one after another, and the generals of all parties gathered together, and Chu Yi ordered Zhao Yun and Gan Ning to lead their troops and horses to block the east and west gates of the Lujiang River, and attack every day.

Three days later, Lujiang City was strong and majestic, and it was difficult to make progress, but Sun Jian, who had seen the strength of the southern Xinjiang army, still had palpitations, and ordered all counties to gather troops and horses to help.

After the news came from the intelligence guards hidden in the shadows of all parties, Chu Yi immediately summoned the generals to discuss the matter.

Yang Qilang resolutely asked for his life: "Even if all parts of Jiangdong pour their nests to help Lujiang, the rear must be empty, and the last general is willing to lead the iron cavalry of 5,000 to bypass the Lujiang River and link up with Buyun to take Tianyang City!" ”

Chu Yi bowed his head and said: "Lujiang City is strong and tall, Sun Jian and Huang Gaibu are extraordinary, we are here from the waterway, and the large siege equipment has not been brought, and it is really not easy to conquer Lujiang."

And today, there will definitely be no more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in Yangcheng, so Qilang and Zhu Xiumu will lead 5,000 cavalry and go to the coast of Anhui County with Jiang Gongyi on the order of the king. ”

After that, Chu Yi asked Xi Zhicai to put out a detailed map, pointed to the various routes in the map, and instructed: "Dive in from the waterway first, you can hide for a while, and when the time comes, when you reach the coast, this king will make Buyun cooperate with you, don't have to fight down." ”

Yang Qilang and Zhu Huan knew very well that now the scorching sun was scorching, morale was falling, and the grain and grass were a little insufficient.

Both of them looked resolute and clenched their fists to lead their lives.

Chu Yi said to the second general Zhao Yun and Gan Ning: "Tomorrow to increase the offensive, don't let Sun Jian have no time to take care of Tianyang!" ”

Xi Zhicai reminded again: "Now it seems that Sun Jian's second son Sun Quan and Zhang Zhao are guarding Tianyang City, Sun Quan is young, Zhang Zhao is good at governance, and there is no need to be afraid, but there is one person, surnamed Zhou Mingyu, and Sun Ce is a friend of eight worships, and it is rumored that he has the talent to reach the sky, don't be careful." ”

Chu Yijian's eyebrows raised slightly, looked at the generals, and called the second general of Huarong Liao Hua and said: "You two are cautious, you can each lead three thousand soldiers and horses, march from the dry road, spread your vision, if there is any change, quickly know with Yang Qilang." ”

The two took the order and left.

The next day, the wind was blowing, but there was no sense of coolness, sweat and irritability.

Yang Qilang and Zhu Huan led 5,000 horsemen out of the camp overnight, went to Anhui City to find Jiang Qin, who was guarding the coast of Anhui City, explained the intention, and the three generals mobilized more than 10,000 soldiers and horses out of the waterway, all the way around the Lujiang River, and arrived in Tianyang City.

Zhu Huan was a little puzzled and said: "The Jiangdong Navy is elite, but the waterway checkpoint is deserted to the point of no one guarding it, is there fraud?" ”

Yang Qilang said confidently: "The Jiangdong Navy is nothing more than that, Hugh Mu has forgotten that the Jiangdong Navy led by Huang Gai on the Lujiang River is not defeated by General Gan Ning." ”

"And hundreds of thousands of troops in southern Xinjiang surrounded Lujiang City, all parties assisted Lujiang, the rear troops were lacking, and it was normal for the waterway to be unguarded."

Jiang Qin also said: "There is no news about Huarong on the dry road, obviously there is nothing to do, don't talk about the waterway, I am afraid that there is no one at the dry road checkpoint, we have already contacted Buyun, and we can take Tianyang City together tomorrow!" You can march quickly, don't delay the fighter. ”

Five thousand war cavalry and six or seven thousand southern Xinjiang sailors went ashore, braved the harsh summer and marched towards Tianyang City, extended the road and conquered Zhufang County Pass, and killed directly to Lujiang City!

Yang Qilang's heart became excited, and Jiang Qin said: "The Buyun army has just conquered Wu County, and before it arrives, we have already killed Tianyang, so it is better to try to persuade you to surrender." ”

Seeing Jiang Qin's agreement, Yang Qilang immediately marched his army to the foot of Tianyang City, urging the horse out with a sword, wearing a treasure armor and shining silver, galloping back and forth, showing off his might and shouting in the city.

"Where is the Sun family?!"

After the report, three people appeared on the city wall, a young man, a middle-aged scribe, and a sword-wielding general.

The middle-aged scribe was relatively thin, with deep eyes and long hair, and responded in a long voice: "Who is coming, dare to offend my Tianyang City!" ”

Yang Qilang shouted: "A certain is the Southern Xinjiang Fenwei General Yang Yansi is also!" As the vanguard general of the Eastern Expedition, he was ordered to take Tianyang City, and he didn't want to harm the innocent, so he persuaded Er to accept the city as soon as possible! ”

When Zhang Zhao heard this, he was terrified.

The sword-wielding general said coldly: "Yang Yansi, are you deceiving me that there is no one in the city?!" No one else is afraid of you, but I am not afraid of you. If you want me Tianyang City, pass me first! ”

Yang Qilang snorted coldly: "Who am I, when I came to aid the Western Xinjiang, the waste general Zu Mao, I also dared to be rampant, you only came out, and you could kill you without ten moves!" ”

Zu Mao was furious and was about to go to war, but was persuaded by Zhang Zhao, who came back to his senses, and said: "If Yangcheng is empty today and there is a shortage of soldiers and major generals, General Zu should also focus on the overall situation, wait to defend this city for the lord, and inform the lord to copy Yang Yanhe's back road and annihilate it in one fell swoop." ”

Although Zu Mao was not angry, he did not dare to act rashly, so he had to go angrily and go to Zhuguan Pass to set up defenses.

Yang Qilang repeatedly provoked and failed, so he had no choice but to retreat, it was impossible for him to shake Tianyang City with his tens of thousands of men, and now that there was a trace, Sun Jian's side would inevitably send someone to block his back road, and Yang Qilang could only converge Buyun in the direction of Wu County.

When Yang Qilang was giving the order to retreat, he saw smoke and dust billowing in the southeast, as if a group of soldiers and horses had arrived, and the power was overwhelming, Yang Qilang and Jiang Qin looked at each other.

But I saw an elite of 10,000 people led by an elegant young general to kill the general, the young general was extraordinary, his eyes were sharp, and the soldiers and horses led by him rose violently, and the two banners danced in the sky, blowing the wind and clouds, and seemed to be able to swallow the sky and the earth.

"Danyang Army!"

"Jianwei Zhonglang General Zhou!"

Sun Ce's eight-worship friend Zhou Yu!

The Danyang soldiers and horses trained by Zhou Yu were all strong, their faces were fearless, and they unfolded a formation and charged forward.

On the left side of Zhou Yu, a biao-shaped general, burly and majestic, dressed in heavy armor, with an arc-shaped long knife in his hand, the sword was bright, flashing blood-colored light, and he broke away from the team and crashed straight into the southern Xinjiang army formation, slashing and slashing, bringing endless bloody rain.

The sky is shattering, shouting to kill the heavens!

Yang Qilang, Jiang Qin, and Zhu Huan were all a little caught off guard, the horses neighed, and Zu Mao in the city saw that Zhou Yu was killed, and he also opened the city gate and led the army to kill.

Under the two-way attack, the southern Xinjiang military formation instantly chaotic, fortunately Yang Qilang and the three of them are also extraordinary, the three agreed, Yang Qilang first rode a horse and danced the gun, and the rear team intercepted the biao-shaped general who crashed into the southern Xinjiang army formation, Zhu Huan held the knife and divided the troops to resist Zu Mao, and Jiang Qin lived in southern Xinjiang for a long time, serving as one of the generals of the water army, and was supported by others, so he sat in the middle army and commanded the formation.

The Jiangdong fierce general who fought with Yang Qilang had bloodthirsty eyes, red armor, and the arc-shaped big knife flashed red, strange and abnormal, and the knife technique was fierce, which made Yang Qilang who was fighting a little difficult, and at the same time he was secretly surprised in his heart, he also asked in his mouth: "I am Yang Yansi, the pioneer general of Southern Xinjiang!" Who are you?! ”

The sword light accompanied by the blood shadow, strong against Yang Qilang, who was famous for his bravery, responded coldly: "Jiujiang Zhou Youping! ”

Yang Qilang grabbed Zhou Tai, gritted his teeth and asked again: "Isn't it Zhou Tai, Zhou Youping, the thief who crossed the Tianjiang River after Gan Xingba?" ”

"Not bad! It's Ben General! Death! ”

The two of them worked hard, heartily, dancing with knives and guns, and fought for fifty times in a row, regardless of victory or defeat.

While fighting, Yang Qilang suddenly rose to the top, roared again and again, opened a way, and retreated to the side.

But in the big battle, the Danyang soldiers and horses were brave and fearless, and the first-class southern Xinjiang army in land warfare had the upper hand, combined with various squad formations, it was actually the southern Xinjiang army repulsed again and again, although Jiang Qin and Zhu Huan stabilized the middle and front team, but if the battle continued like this, it would be defeated.

Yang Qilang unfolded the Yang family's marksmanship, opened and closed, and under the thunderous marksmanship, he strongly forced Zhou Tai to retreat, and the army fought out of the gap, dragging the gun against the flank, and Jiang Qin and Zhu Huan also cut off the back road, rushed out of the gap and retreated towards Wu County in the east, wanting to find a way to conquer Wu County.

Zhou Tai relieved his stamina, and joined forces with Zu Mao, who rushed over, and was about to chase again, but was desperately stopped by Jiang Qin and Zhu Huan, and in the entanglement, Zhou Yu, who commanded the Chinese army, rushed over and said: "Poor Kou Mo chase, stop first." ”

Zhou Tai and Danyang were forbidden by military order, and they all stopped regrouping, and although Zu Mao had the intention to chase again, he didn't dare to move when he saw that Zhou Yu was not moving.

"General Zu."

Zhou Yu is courteous, gentle and elegant, with a confident and calm smile, but he is wearing armor and a sword, if he is wearing a Confucian robe and a long robe, he must be more like a generation of saints.

Although Zu Mao had followed Sun Jian for a long time, Zhou Yu had a very good relationship with Sun Ce, and he was extremely talented, and he did not slack off.

"General Zhou went out with the army at the age of fifteen, and at the age of eighteen he held an important position in Danyang, which is really a model for my generation."

After everyone entered Tianyang City, Zhou Yu saluted Sun Quan and Zhang Zhao again, and said eloquently: "More than 500,000 troops in southern Xinjiang are marching eastward, and there are Buyun in the Eastern Wilderness to help, although now relying on the geographical advantage and the reason why it is not easy to transport grain and grass in southern Xinjiang, it can still resist one or two, but if Chu Yi and Jiang Wei have an advantage, and then join hands with Buyun, they will be powerless to resist, and our army is really embattled and in a desperate situation." ”

Zhang Zhao is known to be talented, has governed Tianyang for several years, and is respected, but he also admires Zhou Yu's ability, and asked: "Then from the perspective of Gongjin, what can I do?" ”

Zhou Yu's confident eyes also flashed a touch of gloom, and said: "The southern Xinjiang is powerful, there are a lot of capable people, I don't dare to be overconfident, now I have to use the method of rapid action to break through, the 20,000 Danyang elite soldiers I personally trained, if used properly, can be an army of 100,000, General Zhou Tai, the young master and the young master are not weak in force, the lord and the young master are not in the city now, we have to make a claim, while Chu Yi and Buyun have not yet achieved linkage, it is better for us to take the initiative to attack, attack Buyun in Wu County, pacify Wu County, and then go to Lujiang to help in the war." ”

"Buyun has been entangled with the lord for many years, not only excellent in martial arts, but also cunning, and now it is even more fighting, known as 200,000 troops marching west, if Gongjin and Darong are entangled in Wu County, then Tianyang will be empty......"

Zhang Zhao had some doubts.

Zhang Zhao is in charge of Tianyang's political affairs, and the logistics support is controlled by him, if he does not agree, it is Zhou Yu who has Danyang County as the backing, but he does not dare to act rashly.

"Now is the autumn of my Jiangdong's life and death, if my father is handsome first, not only will there be no chance, but there may also be changes, I believe in Gongjin's ability."

When he was in a dilemma, the young man Sun Quan spoke, his expression was firm, and even Zhou Yu looked at the second son twice.

Decisive and resolute, is this still the taciturn second son I saw at the beginning?

Zhang Zhao was helpless, so he had to nod and said: "There are still 20,000 soldiers in the city, so I will have 10,000 with Gongjin and leave 10,000 for defense, how about it?" ”

Without waiting for Zhou Yu to speak, Sun Quan said: "The soldiers of all counties and counties in Tianyang are close to Tianyang, and there are always five or six thousand of them, although most of them are old and weak, but it is more than enough to defend the city." ”

After that, under the resolution of Sun Quanquan's public opinion, Zhou Yu led 20,000 Danyang soldiers, 20,000 Tianyang troops, and ten generals, with Zhou Tai as the general, to Wu County to meet Buyun.

When Zhou Yu left, he said to Zhang Zhao with a solemn expression: "My Jiangdong is a soldier of grass and trees, and it is difficult to defeat southern Xinjiang, and southern Xinjiang seems to be difficult to continue, but in my opinion, it is inevitable for southern Xinjiang to swallow my Jiangdong, and I hope that Mr. can send an envoy to Jiangnan for help."

I'm going to Wu County today, fighting to the death, it's best to let the Eastern Wilderness thief Kou be buried in Wu County, if not, it can also make it difficult to go further. ”
