Chapter 250: Another Alliance
Cao's army attacked Wu in three ways, but in the end it was "failed".
The last to withdraw from the battlefield was the command of Cao Ren, the middle route army, and the only one among the three route armies to return in defeat.
Cao Wei's veteran general, Cao Wei's great Sima Cao Ren Cao Zixiao, and finally in the city of Xu, was directly defeated by the little-known Jiangdong general Zhu Huan, not only his son Cao Tai with ten times the enemy's strength did not attack the city.
On the contrary, he was defeated by Zhu Huan's two fires, and his courage was exhausted.
The army sent by Cao Ren to attack Central Continent was also directly annihilated by the people of Jiangdong, and none of the thousands of troops came back alive.
The main general Chang Diao was directly beheaded by Zhu Huan, and Zhuge Qian, one of the deputy generals, was seriously injured by Zhu Huan, and was even more dismembered by Jiangdong soldiers.
The deputy general Wang Shuang was directly exhausted by Jiangdong's soldiers in the end, and then captured alive by Jiangdong's soldiers.
After Cao Ren heard these things, he didn't come up in one breath, and almost passed, but it was Jiang Ji's rough two-handed medical skills that saved him.
But even so, after Cao Ren came to his senses, his eyes kept dull, as if he was stupid, and let his son Cao Tai keep calling him, but there was no reaction.
Cao Ren's appearance suddenly made Cao Tai feel guilty, he only hated himself, why didn't he directly pull out his sword and kill himself under the city of Susu, and he had to come back to let his father suffer this humiliation.
Looking at Cao Ren, who looked stupid, Cao Tai's heart was not only guilty but also guilty.
In the end, looking at the father who had begun to close his eyes and recuperate, Cao Tai could only lower his head and slowly leave the big tent of the Chinese army, and all the Cao military generals looked at his back with very strange eyes, and there was a little pity in this weirdness.
Everyone is a veteran who has been fighting for many years, and once this kind of thing happens, you don't need to think about the rest of the story.
Although Cao Ren did not do it personally in this battle, as the chief general of the middle route army, he was definitely to blame for this failure, plus this time the matter was too ugly, and the three route armies went east to attack Wu together.
The two juniors, the worst of which is undefeated and undefeated, can even be regarded as quite successful.
But Cao Ren, a veteran of the clan, was directly defeated and returned, fulfilling the prestige of the other party, and at this time, Cao Ren's old face was lost.
As for Cao Tai, whether he is a tiger father and a dog, or a dog or a father and son, in short, his reputation must be stinky, and in the future, in the Cao family, I am afraid he will not get any good death.
Thinking of this, everyone looked at Cao Ren's stupid and stupid appearance, and it was not so incomprehensible, after all, such a big change, such a big thing, no one could bear it.
"Let's all get out!" Jiang Ji looked at Cao Ren's tired face, as well as the eyes that had been closed, and couldn't help but sigh lightly, "Wait until you hold the camp, don't give the Jiangdong army any more chances, it's embarrassing, that's a shame for everyone!" ”
After hearing this, many generals immediately straightened up and promised loudly.
After everyone left, Jiang Ji gently walked to the edge of Cao Ren's bed, "Da Sima, do you want to carry this matter down by yourself?" ”
Cao Ren's mind may be able to deceive others, but he can't deceive Jiang Ji, although their relationship is not very good, because of the movement of the army before, the two of them often quarreled about it, which can be said to be a very poor relationship.
But Jiang Ji's relationship with their Cao family and Xiahou's family is quite entangled, and he has a good relationship with Xiahou Shang, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and even the late Xiahou Xuan, because after all, they were all Taizu Cao Cao's confidants and favorite generals at the beginning.
It's just that the Cao family and the Xiahou family are both military generals, Jiang Ji was born in Wenchen Taishou, and was brought to the Prime Minister's Mansion by Cao Cao as an official, but although Jiang Ji is upright and upright, he is outspoken and dares to admonish anyone, but because he is quite familiar with military affairs, he has a good relationship with the Cao family's clan generals.
(The author really didn't say nonsense about this, the clan generals of the Cao family and the Xiahou family, because of their own identity, they all love to answer everyone, especially these leaders, and Cao Cao and even Cao Pi's group of henchmen and strategists, they are all eager to fight.)
For example, Cao Zhen and Wu Zhen, one is Cao Pi's confidant, Cao Wei's general of the army, and later became the general of the Chinese army, Cao Ren fought against him when he was alive, and after Cao Ren died, he was the leader of the Cao family and the Xiahou family.
But it was such an important person, in Wu Zhen's house, Wu Zhen beat him violently, it is said that because Wu Zhen broke his mouth, Cao Zhen felt that this guy said that he was fat, so Cao Zhen thought about it and thought that he had not eaten his rice, so he beat him up without saying a word, and he was beaten very miserably.
Coupled with Cao Hong's kind of urine, there are really not many people who have a good relationship with their Cao family, that is, Cao Pi's relationship with Cao Hong is very bad, and he wants to kill him several times, or the Queen Mother Bian came forward to protect Cao Hong and Cao Zilian.
However, in this case, there is really one person who is a good person in the eyes of this group of clan relatives of the Cao family and the Xiahou family, and that is this Jiang Ji.
Jiang Ji's talent is naturally needless to say, he came out very early, before he took refuge in Cao Cao, that is to say, he was famous in the Jianghuai area with Hu Zhen and Zhu Ji when he was young, and successively served as a planner of the Chu State, mainly as an official in Jiujiang County, and then transferred to Yangzhou as a don't drive.
However, because Yangzhou was in chaos at the beginning, he didn't have much right to drive this car, but he was still discovered by Cao Cao, and he was directly removed from the position of Yangzhou other driver by a holy decree, and let him move to Danyang Taishou.
And this Danyang Taishou is not because of his reputation, purely because of his great achievements, in the thirteenth year of Jian'an, after the Red Cliff War, Jiang Ji almost relied on his own strength to protect the huge Hefei, at that time, Zhang Liao was not famous.
At the beginning, in the thirteenth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao suffered a great defeat in Chibi, and his troops were greatly consumed, Sun Quan took the opportunity to besiege Hefei, and Cao Cao in the rear was unable to send a large army to the rescue. He could only send his subordinate Zhang Xi to bring more than 1,000 cavalry, that is, troops stationed in Runan, to relieve the siege.
However, this kind of thing is really a bit pediatric in Sun Quan's opinion, after all, although they are all surnamed Zhang, not all those surnamed Zhang can beat their Jiangdong like the third grandson.
As a result, Sun Quan didn't look down on Zhang Xi, and Zhang Xi was also very good, he didn't look down on this mission at all, and took more than 1,000 cavalry to find the Jiangdong army in Hefei, and he really didn't have the courage to do so, as a general.
After waiting in Hefei for more than two months, the guards and others still did not see the reinforcements arrive, and Jiang Ji knew that the matter was over.
At that time, although Jiang Ji was still a different driver in Yangzhou, he valued Cao Cao, a heroic man who had just failed, after all, he had a lot of feelings before, and now he was also under Cao Cao's command, so he directly and secretly told Yangzhou Assassin History, falsely claiming to have obtained Zhang Xi's letter, and 40,000 foot riders had arrived in Lou, and the main book should be sent to meet Zhang Xi's reinforcements.
That is, he wrote a letter to send three envoys to tell them the news to the city guards, one entered the city, and the other two were captured by the enemy.
Although this merit is not very magnificent, his calculations are also clear, and he can be regarded as a hero, so he officially entered Cao Cao's eyes.
In the fourteenth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao wanted to migrate the people of Huainan, and then Jiang Ji frantically dissuaded, and finally Cao Cao disagreed, and then Cao Cao failed, worshiping Jiang Ji as the Taishou of Danyang.
Later, when Wen Hui was promoted to Yangzhou Assassin History, and then Jiang Ji was released again, so that he could continue to be a Yangzhou driver, unlike in the past, this time Jiang Ji's Yangzhou family has real and actual power.
It's just that later, because of a false accusation, Jiang Ji was pressed down by General Zuo Yu Ban, Pei Guoxiang Fengren and others, although this time the false accusation of Jiang Ji's rebellion was done very poorly, but because of Jiang Ji's identity as a poor family, coupled with Jiang Ji's power in Yangzhou, it is indeed a little deep-rooted.
So even though Cao Cao kept telling everyone that Jiang Ji would never have any problems, and Jiang Ji would never betray him, he finally chose to take him down from the position of Yangzhou and reappointed him as the prime minister's chief secretary and the western Cao subordinate, and Sima Yi, who was the prime minister's chief secretary and the eastern Cao subordinate at the time, as the subordinate officials of the prime minister's mansion.
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms": The people falsely accused Ji of being a traitor, and when Taizu heard it, he pointed out that the former order and the left generals Yu Ban, Pei Xiang Fengren, etc., said: "Jiang Jining has this matter!" I don't know anyone about this. This will fool the people and cause confusion, and lead the ears in vain. "Push it out. It was set up as the prime minister's main book, and the Xicao genus. Ling said: "Shun lifts Gao Tao, and the unkind are far away; If Zang is successful, he hopes that he will be virtuous. ”
At the same time, because of the long-term relationship on the border, coupled with Jiang Ji's character of what he has to say and how tough he is, this kind of character is very familiar with the generals of the Cao clan in some cases.
Among them, the one who has the best relationship with Jiang Ji is Xiahou Shang.
There is a record of this in the history books, that is, Xiahou Shang once went to show off with him, showing off how relieved Cao Pi was to him, and then he started to sell Xiahou Shang, and the sale was clean and profitable.
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms": Emperor Wen is the throne and turned into the long history of the Xiangguo. and practiced, out of the East Zhong Lang general. Ji asked to stay, and the edict said: "Gaozu Song said, 'Ande warriors guard the Quartet'!" The world is not peaceful, and good ministers must be used to town the border. If it is fine, it is still Mingyu, not for the future. "The theory of ten thousand machines, the emperor is good. Entered as a free rider. From time to time, there was an edict, and Xiahou Shang, the general of the southern expedition, said: "The heart of the emperor is a heavy general, and he should be an envoy." Grace is enough to die, and love is cherishable. Powerful and powerful, killing the living. "It's still a show of help.
In order to reassure Xiahou Shang, Cao Pi gave him an excerpt that was cut first and then played, "Qing is a heavy general, and he is a special envoy." Grace is enough to die, and wisdom is loved. Powerful and powerful, killing the living. ”
To put it bluntly, this is to tell Xiahou Shang that as long as you can complete the task, kill people and take things, you can do it, no matter the princes and ministers, or what kind of person, you can do the thing of cutting first and then playing, this time it is equivalent to giving Xiahou Shang the sword of Shang Fang.
But this kind of thing, Xiahou Shang kindly went to Jiang Ji to show off, to prove himself, in short, to take Jiang Ji as a true friend, after all, Xiahou Shang and Jiang Ji had been in the south at the same time, and the two of them had never been rumored to have a contradiction.
But Xiahou Shang was so righteous that Jiang Ji was reconciled, and in the end, Xiahou Shang did not blame Jiang Ji, I have to say that this is a true friend.
And after that, it was not only Xiahou Shang who had a good relationship with Jiang Ji, but also Cao Ren, Cao Ren was very arrogant after Xiahou died, and looked down on everyone, so in the end, his military advisor needed to be very considerate, and finally chose Jiang Ji, also because Jiang Ji had a good relationship with these people in the Cao family. )
At this time, Jiang Ji looked at Cao Ren, whose eyes were closed, and instead of having any comfort, he directly and unceremoniously said a lot of inappropriate words, including the one just now.
"Da Sima, do you want to carry this matter down yourself?"
Jiang Ji is not a fool, Cao Ren has been fighting on the battlefield for so many years, if this little wind and waves are hit like this, then he, the first general of the Cao clan, will be too vain.
Cao Ren has been stationed in Jingzhou for so many years, perhaps everyone can say that his tactics are outdated now, he is old, he is old, he can't fight, and his courage is not as good as before.
But I have to say that Cao Ren is still the cornerstone of the Cao family, and among the second-generation generals of the Cao family, before anyone has fully grown up, he can still shelter the Cao family from the wind and rain.
But now, Cao Ren is like this, he doesn't eat, drink, or speak, he looks stupid and stupid, he is not frightened, he is begging for death.
While the war is not over, die on the battlefield, die in the barracks, give Cao Jun a reasonable reason for failure, let him bear the charge of arrogance alone, and then let all the generals go.
Cao Ren is dead, and all the generals will have a reason, the coach Cao Ren is old and his mind is not clear, so he will make a mistake in command, and there will be such a big problem in this big war.
Cao Ren wants to carry all the charges alone.
Cao Ren didn't speak, didn't answer, and didn't even have any facial expressions.
Jiang Ji looked at the big Sima Cao Ren who looked like this, and couldn't help but sigh softly, and then slowly stood up, "In the battle of Jiangling, Cao Zhen did a good job, but now he is not enough." ”
After finishing speaking, Jiang Ji turned around and left directly, walking towards the outside of the tent.
Just as Jiang Ji was about to leave, Cao Ren suddenly spoke, "Jiang Ji, help me.... Look at that kid, he's just a kid! ”
After Cao Ren said this, he completely closed his mouth, and Jiang Ji didn't ask much, he knew that from now on, no matter who it was, no matter what he said, Cao Ren would not have a long mouth.
"He's just a kid." Cao Ren's last sentence still touched him a lot, Cao Ren used his last life, just to pull the "child" who made a mistake out of the invincible abyss.
"Hey!" Jiang Ji, who walked out of the big tent of the Chinese army, couldn't help but sigh towards the sky, and then lowered his head, and saw Cao Tai who had been hanging his head not far away.
But it's no wonder that Jiang Ji is not the party involved, but when he sees the empty space around Cao Tai now, he can also feel it.
Cao Tai returned to the Cao camp, and he was no longer like before, whether it was a general or a non-commissioned soldier, no matter which person was here, he was very polite and flattering to him, the major general of the Cao army.
But unfortunately, now Cao Tai has returned defeated, and even dragged down his father, so that everyone's impression of this young general has plummeted, as for the attitude, so far there has been no sneering at him, it is really a blessing among all blessings.
"Major General!" Jiang Ji remembered Cao Ren's entrustment to him just now, and couldn't help shaking his head and came to Cao Tai's face, "Let's talk?" ”
Looking at this guy who was similar to his father, if he and his father had listened to his persuasion, maybe they would have started to hold a celebration banquet on the city by now.
"Master Jiang Ji!" Cao Tai is now three points lower than ordinary people when he speaks, listening to a weak and pitiful appearance, where is there still half a point of arrogance and rugged arrogance before.
"Young General, once you were defeated, you were made like this, and the wisdom of Da Sima was really lost!" Even if Jiang Ji is comforting, he is so cold and hard, if it weren't for Cao Tai and this guy who are also familiar, I'm afraid that Jiang Ji will feel that Jiang Ji came here to mock himself now.
"Lord Jiang Ji, hasn't the kid lost his father's wisdom now?" Cao Tai laughed miserably, "My father has been fighting horses all his life, for the Great Wei and the Great Han, and has made countless contributions, but unfortunately he gave birth to my useless son!" ”
It can be heard that Cao Tai is really very guilty, for his defeat and return, for not taking the city of Wet Whiskers, for not saving Chang Diao and others, and for letting his father Cao Ren not protect his late season It is really very guilty.
But Jiang Ji looked at Cao Tai, and finally just shook his head lightly, "Do you think that just by virtue of your failure this time, you can make General Cao Ren lose his wisdom?" ”
"Is it possible...."
"You really think of yourself!" Jiang Ji directly interrupted Cao Tai's words with a sneer, and also made Cao Tai stunned on the spot, "General Cao Ren has followed Taizu to conquer the world, quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion, crusade against the national thief Dong Zhuo, conquer Yanzhou, conquer Xuzhou, go south to Yuzhou, go north to Jizhou, and rampant through Jingzhou.
In this world, more than half of the states and counties have your father, Cao Wei's great Sima Cao Ren Cao Zixiao, this is what he cut down with a knife and a shot, this is what he fought for all at once with his crotch and the treasure knife in his hand, what does it have to do with you? ”
Cao Tai listened to Jiang Ji talk about his father's attack, and then shook his head weakly, "My father fought on the battlefield back then, and he was a rare hero in the world, and a boy... It doesn't matter half a point! ”
"Since his reputation has nothing to do with you, why does his later life have anything to do with you?" Jiang Ji looked at Cao Tai and snorted coldly, "You don't want to think about the identity between you, General Cao Ren is a famous general in the world, and when Cao Ren's name comes out, no one in the world knows it, and no one knows it." Think about you again, what is the most important and most famous title of your Cao Tai, Cao Wei Da Sima, the world's famous general, the son of General Cao Ren, the tiger of Jingzhou! Is the old man right? ”
Cao Tai listened to what Jiang Ji said, his face changed again and again, and every change made his face even more ugly, but he still nodded and said in a deep voice, "You... That's right! ”
Even though Cao Tai doesn't want to say this, he doesn't want to admit it, but he must admit that he Cao Tai has not experienced any battles, has not succeeded in doing any big things, and his only achievement is that he voted for a good tire that everyone envies, that is, to be Cao Ren's son.
For so many years, there is only one thing he has successfully done, and that is to be Cao Ren's son.
Seeing that Cao Tai had agreed to this matter, Jiang Ji continued, "So, you tell me now, with your ability, you may ruin your father's wisdom in that life?" ”
Cao Tai looked at Jiang Ji and pursed his lips, "But a certain family still failed, and it was defeated and returned, just because of this matter, just because of this matter..."
When Cao Tai said halfway, he still couldn't control it, and the young man in his twenties cried like this, although he tried his best to suppress the sound of his crying, but the soldiers and generals who came and went still cast curious glances at this side.
It's just that when their eyes saw that it was their own young general who was crying, their eyes changed from curiosity to shame.
In the army, blood can be shed, not tears.
This sentence is not only known to them, but Cao Tai also knows that Cao Tai has received much more suffering and education since he was a child than all of them have seen.
It's just that they never cared about how much effort Cao Tai put in, they only cared about Cao Tai's last big defeat and return, so that Cao Jun lost the middle battlefield.
Jiang Ji looked at Cao Tai who was crying, although he was very sorry for his appearance, but he felt that if he was like this, it would not be impossible, after all, the current Cao Tai could vent, it was also a very good thing.
"Enough crying?" Looking at Cao Tai, who had slowly quieted down, Jiang Ji continued, "Just now you said that you failed, of course you failed, from the very beginning, you were calculated by Zhu Huan, the governor of the beard, and you were calculated.
But even so, you still came back with the soldiers you would have undergone, even if it was quite heavy at any time, but you still did your best to bring more people back.
There is no problem with failure, don't say it's you, it's your father, you go and inquire yourself, how many times has your father failed in this life, there has never been a victorious general in this world, and the invincible victory only exists in the book, not in reality.
If a person has not failed in his life, then when he fails, it will be a big defeat that makes him feel painful, and a big defeat that makes him unable to stand up again, so if you make a move, it is a big failure, which is not necessarily a bad thing! ”
Cao Tai looked at Jiang Ji beside him, and couldn't help but open his mouth, not knowing what he should say.
"Anything else you'd like to say?" Jiang Ji thought that he was very stable, and made a reasonable summary for himself.
"You are you, your father is your father, Cao Tai will never be able to represent Cao Ren, and you will not accompany him, so now it is just a general named Cao Tai who was defeated by a man named Zhu Huan in Wet Beard City.
If you don't give up, if you feel that you are wronged again, then fight back again, then win back again, you are Cao Tai, you can't end it like this because of a failure. ”
"Understood!" Cao Tai didn't know if he had really succeeded in figuring it out, anyway, he nodded, and then watched Jiang Ji leave.
Although Cao Tai was still very silent, he was not so low, and he was not so depressed.
But this matter did not end like this, in the Cao camp, when Cao Tai's rout returned to the camp, Cao Ren, the middle commander of the Cao army, he began to fall ill.
Cao Ren was sick, still seriously ill, he didn't eat or drink, he just stayed in bed every day, and soon this very old man became dying.
After hearing that Cao Ren was seriously ill, many people expressed their concern, and then sent their own messengers or doctors to come to condole, but before those people arrived, Cao Ren died.
Cao Wei Da Sima, the Tiger of Jingzhou, has been stationed in the south for the Cao family for more than ten years, and Cao Ren, the world's top famous general, died of illness in the army, and ended his life in the process of the two armies still fighting.
Cao Ren's death brought about two of the most immediate results.
Cao Tai cried several times and fainted, and his whole body was in pain, and the whole person became weaker than his father before his death.
The second thing is that at the moment of Cao Ren's death, all the generals and colonels of the Cao army learned to shut up, and no longer had any more words against their young general, nor did they dare to have any targets against him.
Cao Ren's death represents not only the death of a famous general, nor is it as simple as carrying all the charges on his body, but more importantly, if he dies at this time, then he will be considered to have died on the battlefield.
And Cao Ren died on the battlefield, what does this mean, it means that Cao Tai can completely inherit all Cao Ren's official positions and titles, even if he can't directly inherit the position of Da Sima, but there is one thing they can see.
That is Cao Tai's future, which was paved by Cao Ren's death.
This price is really big enough!
This sentence sounded in the hearts of almost all the Cao generals, Cao Ren used his life to find the root cause of the defeat of this war, and used his life to pave the way for the future of his children, so as not to let this defeat accompany him for the rest of his life.
Cao Ren's death soon spread throughout the world, and the most important two people also got the news.
One of them is the "boss" of this three-way expedition to Jiangdong, His Majesty Cao Pi Cao Wei.
"The great Sima meritorious service, although there is a moment of misfortune, but can not deny the merits of his life, the great Sima Cao Ren fought all his life, repeatedly made military exploits, conquered the world, and made great achievements, but now it is unfortunate to die in the army, posthumously named it a loyal marquis, and the middle road army is temporarily led by Jiang Ji, the East Zhonglang general!
Cao Tai, the son of Da Sima..... Inherit the position of his father Chen Hou, keep the fiefdom unchanged, and the official position will remain unchanged for the time being! ”
Cao Pi also had a lot of feelings about Cao Ren's death, in his opinion, Cao Ren still died a little early, he originally thought that at least let Cao Ren hold on for a while, at least wait for Cao Zhen to grow up completely, and then they could do this.
However, a rout of the middle route army, for the sake of his son, Cao Ren chose to die, at this time Cao Ren died, the entire army, the entire battlefield, was a little chaotic, some, not easy to fight.
The army in the middle was directly defeated, although it only lost soldiers, not a single city and an inch of land, but it was fatal to the morale of Cao's army.
The Eastern Route army also won first and then lost, but defeat was not much in the eyes, in general, it was a good direction to capture countless warships, and the entire Eastern Route battlefield was a victory.
As for the battlefield on the Western Road, now Cao Pi doesn't know whether he is winning or losing.
Cao Zhen killed the enemy in front, Zhu Huan defended Jiangling behind, and the epidemic ended in a big way, and finally the battle ended.
"Hey!" At this time, Cao Pi was also a little helpless, "Where did Zidan go?" Any news? ”
As the commander of the Western Route Army, Cao Zhen disappeared at this time, and this incident made Cao Pi, the commander of the three armies, the emperor of Cao Wei, really want to scold his mother uncontrollably.
"Arrange more manpower, if you can find the news of Zidan, you must tell me as soon as possible, you must tell me! You know what! ”
"No!" The herald nodded and departed.
"Hey!" Watching the soldier leave, he just sighed helplessly in the end.
As for the other person who reacted the most strongly after knowing the news of Cao Ren's death, that was Sun Quan, the lord of Jiangdong.
"Cao Zixiao is actually dead!" When Sun Quan heard the news, he almost didn't cry out excitedly, "Great, great, Zhu Huan did a good job, did a good job!" ”
Not long ago, he had already received Wang Shuang, who had just been sent to Wuchang City, and after winning Liu Xuande before, Sun Quan could barely suppress his excitement, and he could still maintain his sanity, and even guaranteed that he would not get carried away because of the victory, and finally chose to ally with Liu Xuande again.
At this time, when he blocked Cao's attack again, the east and west blocked Cao's soldiers and horses just made him a little relieved, but the following things made him a little excited.
After the victory of the Middle Route Army, not only did they kill the two main generals of the Cao Army, but also captured one of their deputy generals, but also directly led to the death of Cao Wei's general, Cao Ren, the tiger of Jingzhou, who died here.
"Tell Zhu Huan and let him keep up the good work!" Sun Quan was already excitedly starting to spin in circles, what he saw was not just a victory, but another thing he saw, that is, he saw the throne beckoning to him!
Sun Quan has already decided, when this war is over, he will prepare for the enthronement ceremony, win Liu Xuande, win Cao Zixiao and Cao Jun, what else is he afraid of!
"Hahaha..."Sun Quan's unbridled laughter continued to echo and reverberate here.
In the midst of this laughter, Sun Quan had already begun to prepare for the celebration banquet.
He felt like a son of destiny, going to Jingzhou and beheading Guan Yu without blood.
A fire burned countless Xichuan armies, leaving countless Xichuan souls on the land of Jingzhou.
He had just shattered Liu Xuande's dream, and now he had broken his Cao Pi's dream again.
An ignorant junior dared to say a lot of nonsense here, and he actually wanted to send his son to Luoyang to be a proton, which was really bold!
In Sun Quan's view, this time Cao Jun's three-way expedition to Eastern Wu, Jiangdong, under his wise leadership, successfully blocked Cao Wei's large-scale attack, and even quite effective.
Although there were some failures on the east and west roads, they did not lose an inch of land, and they did not break their muscles and bones...
At least that's what Sun Quan thinks.
Just in Sun Quan's incessant excitement, Cao Zhen, who was far away in Ma'anshan, near Niuzhu, finally showed his fangs.
When Han Long told him that the Battle of the Wet Whiskers had begun, he knew that the Great War was coming to an end.
And he's going to have to hurry up.
When Cao Zhang can't come forward openly, someone must be able to take Cao Ren's place, and the failed Cao Ren will not stay in the world for long.
And Cao Zhen wants to take over this position.
"Han Long!" Cao Zhen didn't let Han Long, the judge of the school government, leave here, this big battle is very important to him, to the big war that has now come to an end, and even to Cao Jun, he must ensure that nothing goes wrong!
"General, please command!" Han Long also knew Cao Zhen's plans and calculations, and I have to say that he was frightened and scared by Cao Zhen's boldness.
If Cao Ren's defeat in Wet Beard City was too bold, he dared to directly attack the back road of Wet Beard City when Wet Beard still had a naval army, which finally led to his own defeat.
Then Cao Zhen was much bolder than Cao Ren, and he actually rushed directly to the Hengjiangwu built by Sun Huan when Jiangling in Nanjun was completely normal, and opened the road to Xichuan again.
"Later, I will directly lead the army to attack Sun Huan's department, I don't have a naval army under my command, so the only one I can rely on is you!"
Cao Zhen's words shocked Han Long's heart, and Hengjiangwu was directly stood in the river by Sun Huan.
If there is no navy, then you must sneak directly with the soldiers and light equipment.
Then, before the Jiangdong army could react, they rushed to the water gate and rushed into this Hengjiang Dock Fort.
The difficulty in this is very big for two people!
Cao Zhen needs to storm a dock fort with a lightly armed soldier who is also unarmoured, and he must fight!
As for Han Long, before Cao Zhen made a move, he had to do his best to keep Cao Zhen and the others from being discovered by the Jiangdong soldiers.
What he had to do was to prevent the Jiangdong soldiers from encircling and slaughtering Cao Zhen's troops who had no siege equipment in advance.
Han Long first took a deep breath and calmed his heart.
Then he arched his hand towards Cao Zhen.
"Then can a certain family ask General Cao Zhen for one thing!"
"Say!"
"If a certain family is really unfortunate to die in the Hengjiang Dock Fort later, please ask General Cao Zhen to take care of those friends of a certain family."
After Han Long finished speaking, he bowed deeply directly to Cao Zhen.
He lost his father and mother in this life, and his wife who did not pass through the door died tragically at the hands of the Huns.
The first group of friends were some big brothers who served as guards by Cao Zhang's side like him.
Then one by one they died in front of him, and only he survived in the end.
The second group of friends were many of his brothers, but they eventually parted ways because of different philosophies.
It wasn't until he met them that he found his joy in his monotonous life.
He had almost no worries in his life, and the teacher returned to Youzhou and continued to live in seclusion with his old friends.
Guo Yi, who had been unclear with himself and followed behind him, had also entered the Luoyang Palace at this time.
Although she is only a female official now, the prince Cao Rong loves her a lot, not to mention, but also to her.
Han Long knew this woman's ability, and the words of the woman not letting her eyebrows be a little light.
With Guo Yi's ability, if she wants to survive in that palace, it is not difficult.
As for Liu Shen, the wife of Yanji who has a grudge against herself, she is already a big family in the Western Regions at this time.
Fei Qi was seriously injured, so he had to follow Liu Shen to recuperate in the Western Regions, of course, he could also protect this woman who was not worrying.
For the rest, many things had already been arranged when he left the Yongliang Land.
Guo Xuan stayed in Liangzhou, or he said that he stayed in his hometown, and the Guo family had followed his daughter to Luoyang, but Guo Xuan didn't want to leave.
So after getting Zhang Ji's consent, he let him be a general in Liangzhou.
It just so happens that the entire Yongliang Land has just settled down, and countless Qiangqi Hu people, countless bandits and horse bandits, have all disturbed the Yongliang Land with no peace.
And Yongliang's many generals, Su went to Luoyang as an official and became Cao Pi's hated and loved cronies.
Biqiu Xing also stained the light of his son Biqiu Jian, posthumously recorded his previous credits, and became the official of Kyoto in Luoyang City all the way.
Hao Zhao and Wei Ping did not leave, but there were only two of them left in the huge Yongzhou.
Xiahou Ru is also looking like he is going to leave at any time, in the case of such a shortage of soldiers and major generals, Guo Yu's stay is naturally undesirable for Zhang Ji!
Wen Qin is now by the side of the two of them, and like Hao Zhao in Yongzhou, he was directly hit by Cao Zhen.
Biqiu Jian is one of Cao Rong's companions, and he is also Cao Pi's cronies, with these two identities on him, he is indeed not afraid of his future.
Therefore, now Han Long's mind is only those friends who have just found their own things.
Cao Zhen looked at Han Long, who bowed, took a deep breath, and then showed a smile.
"Whether it's your friends or those poor people, I promise to take care of them, this is my Cao Zhen's promise!"
When he heard Cao Zhen say "Hanmen", Han Long was slightly shocked in his heart, and then looked up at Cao Zhen.
Seeing his indifferent and natural appearance, Han Long slowly put his heart down.
"You don't need to worry so much, who can get ahead this year without a few secrets.
Changing your name and surname is not a big problem! ”
Cao Zhen continued to chuckle and say this to Han Long, reassuring himself.
"That's... Thanks for landing! Han Long looked at Cao Zhen, bowed again, and spoke in a deep voice.
"Go ahead!" Cao Zhen waved his hand lightly, and Han Long retreated directly, and then disappeared on Ma'an Mountain quickly.
When Han Long disappeared, Cao Zhen looked at Xiao Wenqin behind him.
"You say, can he succeed?" Cao Zhen chuckled and asked this question that Xiao Wenqin couldn't answer, and then chuckled and answered himself, "We will definitely succeed!" ”
The night was slowly falling, and Han Long had completely dived in the river.
Although his legs have been treated by famous doctors from all walks of life, whether it is a famous doctor in the Tai Hospital, or a disciple of a holy hand like Hua Tuo or Zhang Zhongjing, or a doctor Wu Man in Southern Xinjiang or a strange doctor with blond hair and blue eyes in the Western Regions.
After everyone saw Han Long's legs, they just sighed helplessly, that is, they couldn't do anything.
All they could do was to let Han Long reduce their pain as much as possible in the rainy weather.
The most important thing is that his legs can be a little more flexible, or let him take a bigger step.
At this time, he was trying to swim slowly in the still cold river water, and slowly approached the water gate of the Hengjiang Dock Fort.
"Whew~"
"Whew~"
"Whew~"
Han Long, who arrived at the place, tried to take a deep breath and calm his mood and breath.
"It's finally begun!" After Han Long calmed down his mood and breath, he finally began to climb.
If Cao Zhen had sneaked here with thousands of people, it would have been almost impossible for him not to be discovered.
After all, a group of landlubbers in the north are still thinking about playing a water war with Jiangdong here, which is really a bit overwhelming.
But if it were another person, if Han Long sneaked in by himself, it wouldn't be too much of a problem.
Each dock fort is garrisoned by countless Jiangdong soldiers, especially Sun Huan's Hengjiang Dock, which is the only fortress that prevents Huang Quan from leading the naval army into the land of Xichuan, and its solidity can be imagined how terrifying it is.
Coupled with other arrangements, the possibility that Hengjiang Wubao was attacked by Cao Zhen's surprise attack is almost impossible!
However, this is a case where Han Long is not involved.
Han Long had already climbed halfway up at this time, and if he climbed a few more steps, he would appear in the eyes of the Jiangdong soldiers.
Han Long stopped his steps at this time, grabbed the wooden fence with one hand, and reached into his clothes with the other, and took out a small porcelain vase.
He bit off the cloth that sealed the small porcelain vase with his teeth, and then slowly poured the foul-smelling liquid inside onto the top of the wooden fence.
The wooden fence of the water gate has been soaked in the river water for a long time, and each one is extremely wet, and there are all kinds of insects that like moisture to stay inside.
And what has just been poured up can not only attract more insects, but also some fish and insects in the river.
A group of landlubbers from the cool land, even if they can swim by holding the plank, they don't want to move at all.
But if there is the cover of those fish and insects in the river, this matter is much better!
After putting the fishy liquid on it, Han Long slowly retreated again.
As a Hengjiang dock, it must have a water gate, and the water gate must also have an inlet and outlet.
No one under Cao Zhen's command could sneak in through the underwater inlet and exit, but Han Long could.
Although his legs and feet were not good, and the river was quite turbid, he still easily entered the Hengjiang dock that Sun Huan had worked so hard to build from the sewer.
In half a year, even if Sun Huan keeps working day and night, I am afraid it will be difficult to build all of this Hengjiang dock.
So when he was lurking in, Han Long also did a little trick with this water gate by the way.
However, at this time, it was not the time to study this hand and foot here, but to put all his energy on the enemy in front of him, as soon as Han Long came to this Hengjiang Dock Fort, he saw groups of Jiangdong soldiers wandering around.
It would be impossible to kill them all silently and find a suitable path for yourself.
But there is no need for Han Long to kill them all, and there is no need to find a suitable path under their noses, all he has to do is to make enough chaos here at the right opportunity, and give Cao Zhen enough opportunities to appear, and that's it.
Han Long slowly sneaked to the shore, and then took advantage of a gap in the patrol to quickly climb to the shore, and then rolled and hid in the darkness again.
When he stopped again, he already had a short knife in his hand, and his eyes had become fierce.
"Sun Huan, this guy is not very old, he is quite vigilant in doing things!" Han Long couldn't help but sneer as he looked at the Jiangdong soldiers who were constantly patrolling, and at the same time looked at the soldiers who stabbed the water with sharp long bamboo poles at every turn, and couldn't help but secretly shake his head.
After waiting for a full two quarters of an hour, when Han Long's eyes felt a little tired, he finally found the opportunity he had been waiting for.
A patrolling Jiangdong soldier passed by him, and at the same time watched them yawn constantly, he knew that at this time, it was indeed time to make a move.
"Rub!"
"Poof!"
Han Long kicked his right foot violently, and then swung the short knife in his hand vigorously, stabbing the patrol soldier's heart directly from behind, and then covering the soldier's mouth and nose with his left hand, and turning his right hand violently to make the soldier standing at the end die quickly.
Although his mouth and nose were covered, the sound coming out of his throat was still heard by the others.
After they heard the movement behind them, they immediately turned their bodies around, but they moved forward and backward, and their movements were fast and slow, which gave Han Long another chance.
Han Long's legs were not dexterous, but his hands were fast, and the distance between them was not too far, a total of two steps away, a total of five soldiers, Han Long only had a half breath of time, and a blood mark appeared on the neck of the five Jiangdong soldiers who were in charge of patrolling.
None of them were able to make a sound this time, although they reacted well, but they were still no match for the well-trained Han Long, when Han Long limped away, the six corpses on the ground were still twitching, and blood was still gushing.
These people will not stay for long, at most a quarter of an hour, they will be discovered, and when the time comes, this place will definitely be completely tense, and at that time, Cao Zhen may not be able to attack this Hengjiang Dock Fort.
But Han Long was not worried, nor was he afraid in the slightest.
These people will be discovered in a quarter of an hour, but at most, this Hengjiang Dock Fort will explode.
"Now Cao Pi's three-way army has no chance to advance, and it is about to reach summer, once it is summer, Cao Pi can't retreat if he wants to!" At this time, in the Hengjiang Dock Fort, Sun Huan was drinking the decoction, and it could be seen that his body was not very good, but his spirit was good.
Sun Huan and Liu Xuande worked hard in Yiling Road before, but he alone blocked the tens of thousands of troops under Liu Xuande for half a year, thinking about the tragedy of Jiangling now, the steepness and terrain can not be compared with Jiangling at all, Yiling is more than ten times more tragic than at that time.
Sun Huan's battle, although he persevered, although he achieved good results, but the unfortunate thing is that his body was broken, especially after he was rescued by Zhu Ran, he did not stop, but rushed to the front line after simply bandaging it.
When he walked out of Yiling Road, he was the back of all the Jiangdong army, and when the battle was over, he had already chased Liu Xuande in front of him, and almost took Liu Xuande down.
is the white-eared elite who can block countless Jiangdong soldiers, but they almost failed to stop him, a Sun Huan, scared Liu Xuande almost to death, and finally sighed for him.
"I first came to the capital in the past, Huan Shang was a child, and now I am forced to be lonely and even here!"
Because of this great achievement, he was directly promoted from a Zhonglang general to a general Jianwu and was sealed, and even now there are only two people guarding against Liu Xuande, one is Lu Xun who is stationed in Yiling Road, and the other is Sun Huan who built Hengjiang Dock.
But although he got a lot of credit because of this incident, but also because of this incident, his body almost collapsed, and when the doctor saw him, he felt that it was a miracle that he was able to survive, and he never thought that he would dare to go into battle to kill the enemy.
I don't know how much blood has flowed out of my body, and the whole person seems to be bloodless.
At this time, he can survive, that is, he is a martial artist with excellent talent, which can save his life.
However, the doctor also repeatedly told him not to blindly go into battle to kill the enemy again, and all kinds of decoctions should be poured into his stomach every day.
At this time, Sun Huan was drinking the bitter decoction, chuckling, talking about the recent war, although the Cao army has not retreated yet, but everyone is not very worried at this time.
The Jiangling garrisoned by Zhu Ran has been successfully defended, and the reinforcements brought by Zhuge Jin and others have also defended Jiangling City, while the entrance to the cave where Lu Fan and others are stationed has experienced a lot of things, but it has been stabilized at this time.
Quan Zong and Xu Sheng took the protection of the cave entrance, and then He Qi took his Shanyue elite to directly replenish the troops at the cave entrance, and directly stabilized the huge cave defense line again.
After that, Zhu Huan's defense line was also made from Xie, Jiangdong lost his own naval army on the east road, and Cao Ren lost Cao's naval army on the middle road, but the difference is that Jiangdong without the Dongkou naval army still has some old ships and reserve naval soldiers.
Although they can't attack, they can still defend passively, and with them as seeds, they can naturally teach better sailors.
But after Cao Wei's oil tankers were burned down by Zhou Shao, the whole of Cao Wei could no longer fill this loophole for him, unless they used Huang Quan, the general of Zhennan who had just surrendered.
Now Cao Jun's three-way army has no chance to forge ahead, and the news just came from Jiangzhou White Emperor City, Liu Xuande is seriously ill, on March 22, Liu Xuande fell into a coma for the first time, and then in desperation, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister who was far away in Chengdu, Shangshu ordered Li Yan to summon to the White Emperor City, which has the meaning of entrusting the orphan.
Once Liu Xuande died of illness and Cao Cao retreated, Jiangdong at this time had nothing to threaten his opponents, and after successive victories over the two of them, they Jiangdong also had enough prestige and ability to claim the emperor and build the country.
Thinking of this, all of them couldn't help but become a little excited.
Moreover, the consecutive victories also give them the illusion that they may not have a chance to dominate the world.
Thinking of Sun Quan's proclamation as emperor in the future, thinking that he would be able to lead his troops north to the Central Plains in the future, and even become the founding father of the country, Sun Huan suddenly felt a kind of pride in his heart, and even the black decoction in his hand was not so difficult to swallow.
"Happy!" After Sun Quan drank the decoction in the bowl in one gulp, he yelled, and he didn't know if he was talking about the decoction he had just drunk, or something else.
Just when Sun Huan was chatting with many generals, suddenly there was a weak whimper outside, which quickly disappeared.
All of you here are Sun Huan's henchmen, and they are all people who struggled to survive the Shura Hell in Yiling at the beginning.
Although this whimper was low and short, everyone could hear it, such a familiar sound, this is the sound that when a person is killed, he covers his mouth and nose, and can only rely on his throat.
"Looks like I'm waiting for a guest tonight!" Sun Huan slowly put down the soup bowl in his hand, and then stretched out and touched the war knife that had been spreading, and at the same time, the many generals who talked to Sun Huan also silently took down their weapons.
"General, you are resting here!" The deputy general looked outside and snorted coldly, "A certain family will go to meet this guy who doesn't know whether he is alive or dead." ”
After finishing speaking, the deputy general also didn't give Sun Huan any chance to object, and walked directly towards the door, with a hideous smile on his face.
At the same time, the remaining generals also slowly stood up, although they did not rush out with the deputy general, but they also kept surrounding Sun Huan.
After the lieutenant went out, there was a commotion, and then invective, and everyone in the room smiled knowingly.
It's just that this smile of theirs, slowly, slowly, dissipated.
Because the lieutenant was not making any other sounds, shouts of killing, of fighting, of yelling, nothing, and just disappeared, even if it was just like the whimper, there was no such movement.
This sudden and long silence made everyone's brows furrow, there was such a big movement just now, why didn't the patrol guards outside appear yet, even if the soldiers patrolling the city didn't get the news now, but there were dozens of soldiers in this mansion, why didn't there be any movement.
These doubts made their hands holding the blades even harder.
Just when a group of people didn't know what they should do, Sun Huan, whose face was still a little pale and coughing incessantly, showed a smile, "I'll wait out, since a friend appears, then I can't be so rude!" ”
Other people may be afraid of this weirdness, but Sun Huan will not be afraid, no matter who comes, he doesn't care, he won't say anything about the boring words of death, even if he is a master, could it be that he Sun Huan is a lamb to be slaughtered?
Under the leadership of Sun Huan, they successfully walked out of this gate, and then slowly walked outside.
At this time, the inside of their mansion was already a mess, not a noisy mess, but... Corpses everywhere!
I couldn't find who killed them, but they just saw dozens of corpses, neatly placed in front of them, and looking at this scene, they knew that all the movements they heard just now, including the voice of the deputy general just now, were fake.
Maybe the exclamation and angry scolding when the deputy first went out was true, but when he saw the corpses in this place, it should definitely not be those voices, or rather, when he saw the corpses in front of him, he also became a corpse.
"Die!" Suddenly, a loud shout came from their side, and they were so frightened that they hurried to look in the direction from which the sound came, but all they saw was a fleeting phantus.
It was just a phantom, and the moment they turned around, there was a sudden soft sound behind them, and crossbow arrows shot out from their backs.
"Poof", a lieutenant covered his arm and fell, until the short arrow penetrated his arm, faintly just this injury naturally does not appear in this situation, but looking at the guy who fell down is now full of black face, this is highly poisonous!
"Be careful!" I don't know how many people came, and I don't know who shot this crossbow arrow, but Sun Huan instinctively chose to form a formation to defend.
Cautiously staring at the dark surroundings, a group of generals guarded Sun Huan in the middle.
"General, this is not the way, now we are in the light, that person is in the dark, this can't be beaten!"
"That's right, if we are scattered, I am afraid that we will be defeated by him one by one, and if we are hugged, we will be killed by him wandering around, and we have no shield in our hands, and we have no bows and arrows, which is really too difficult."
Sun Huan looked around, at this time there was no movement around them, and there was no bowstring sound, and crossbow arrows were flying, but he knew that this kind of dullness was only temporary.
"Ignition!" Sun Huan gritted his teeth, and his face became gloomy, "Set this mansion on fire!" ”
