Chapter Forty-Six: In Full Swing

Only half a year later, when Kang Peng saw Xiao Qiao again, he almost couldn't believe his eyes, the dying woman in front of him who was as thin as a skeleton and dying was the young and beautiful girl who was beautiful and captivating the country and the city, in Kang Peng's heart, he hated his lust for the first time, not only harming the once happy girl in front of him, but also harming his own son.

After experiencing the thrilling changes in Maicheng, Xiao Qiao touched the fetal gas in the turmoil, the child in the womb was delivered early after seven months of pregnancy, only three days after birth, Kang Peng didn't even have time to name the child, Xiao Qiao's son unfortunately died, Xiao Qiao was also sick from then on, water and food were difficult to eat, when Kang Peng saw her, Xiao Qiao had only one breath left.

Kang Peng quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and with the assistance of Da Qiao, he gently helped Xiao Qiao up, and let the drowsy Xiao Qiao lean in his arms, Kang Peng called softly: "No frost, no frost, come and see alone, you wake up." Da Qiao, who had also lost a lot of weight, also gently patted his sister's shoulder, "Sister, sister, wake up, the princess has come to see you." ”

After a long time, Xiao Qiao muttered in a low voice, slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw Kang Peng, Xiao Qiao's pale cheeks were red with excitement, ** said: "Xianggong, you spare him, he is too sad to do something wrong, he is a good person, please spare him." Although Xiao Qiao didn't say who 'he' was, Kang Peng and Da Qiao both knew who that 'he' was.

Kang Peng stared at Xiao Qiao for a long time and comforted: "Don't be cranky, you have brought the divine doctor Hua Tuo to treat you, and you will get better soon." Kang Peng really couldn't promise Xiao Qiao to spare Zhou Yu, if the change in Maicheng was Kang Peng's own fault, and Zhou Yu was dizzy and did an impulsive thing, then Kang Peng might still spare him. But Zhou Yu killed Sun Jian, who personally promoted him, and wanted to kill Huang Gai, who regarded him like a son, and also designed to borrow Lu Bu's knife to kill Sun Ce, who was a brother and sister to him.

Kang Peng's vague words made Xiao Qiao guess his thoughts, and two lines of tears flowed down Xiao Qiao's sunken cheeks, and Xiao Qiao choked up: "Xianggong, I know he's sorry for you, but I still have to spare him, I will repay you in the next life, and I will be a cow and a horse." ”

Kang Peng turned his head, didn't dare to look at Xiao Qiao's sad tears again, and shouted to Hua Tuo: "Wenhuahou, come and treat Miss Wushuang." Kang Peng turned to Da Qiao again and said, "Wuxue, take care of your sister, you still have business to do." After speaking, Kang Peng gently put down Xiao Qiao, got up and left, Xiao Qiao trembled and grabbed the corner of Kang Peng's clothes, and pleaded: "King, please, please." Kang Peng stiffened his heart and pulled away Xiao Qiao's fingers, and strode out of Xiao Qiao's room in Jiangxia City, trying not to hear Xiao Qiao's crying and pleading behind him, but on Kang Peng's ugly fat face, he was already in tears.

"Whew......!" Kang Peng breathed a long sigh of relief at the bright moon of the autumn night, and regretted it in his heart, that night, if he hadn't drunk and messed up, he wouldn't have been like this, and it was difficult to have both love and righteousness. Kang Peng is not unaffectionate to Xiao Qiao, when he first saw Xiao Qiao, he also wanted to possess the two sisters at the same time, but later knew that Xiao Qiao and Zhou Yu were already in love, Kang Peng threw that evil thought out of the clouds, and only wanted to use Xiao Qiao to subdue Zhou Yu, but after the incident in Chengdu, Kang Peng knew that he could no longer accept Zhou Yu, so he gradually began to treat Xiao Qiao as his wife, and once wanted to get Xiao Qiao's understanding and love, and Xiao Qiao was white-headed. But seeing Xiao Qiao's appearance today, Kang Peng knew that Xiao Qiao's heart could no longer accommodate a second person besides Zhou Yu, even if it was the self who took away her body.

Unconsciously, Hua Tuo had already come out of Xiao Qiao's room and whispered to Kang Peng: "Wang, Miss Xiao Qiao's illness may be saved, but it depends on her mood, depression hurts her liver, if she continues to sink like this, Xiao Hou is helpless." ”

"Do your best, do your best." Kang Peng didn't know what to say, just patted Hua Tuo's shoulder and muttered: "You just do your best, you don't blame you, you have to blame ......yourself." Kang Peng raised his head and sighed at the bright moon in the sky again, he was the commander of the first army, the lord of the five states, he couldn't push hundreds of thousands of troops and tens of millions of troops to the forefront for his own women, he had no choice.

Five days later, as in history, a Jiangdong celebrity came to Kang Peng overnight, this celebrity naturally could not be Pang Tong, his name is Lu Xian, he once served as the Lujiang Taishou of the Han Dynasty, Lu Xian is unknown in the history of the Three Kingdoms, but he has a grandson who is famous, and his grandson is - Lu Xun!

"Mr. Boyi, I have heard Mr. my name for a long time, I can see it today, I can't help but be happy, and I hope that Mr. will not hesitate to give advice." After personally going out of the tent to welcome Lu Xian back to the tent and sit down, Kang Peng immediately agitated like a spring tongue and induced Lu Xian to offer him a rope and a boat.

Lu Xian was really fooled, and immediately hugged his fists and said: "I have heard for a long time that the king has a degree of soldiers, and now I would like to take a look at your army lineup." ”

Kang Peng was overjoyed, and immediately ordered the soldiers to prepare horses, and invited Lu Xian to watch Dong Zhuojun's dry village and water village, Lu Xian praised it greatly, and almost compared Kang Peng to Sun Wu's rebirth and reincarnation. What Lu Xian said is not exactly flattery, Dong Zhuojun's dry village is close to the mountains and forests, taking into account the front and back, there are doors in and out, and the advance and retreat are orderly, which is really the ultimate camp during the Cold War. Of course, Kang Peng couldn't organize such a camp, he just tore open the broken gong in the big tent and shouted, "Set up camp!" "Naturally, there are military advisors and strategists such as Jia Xu and Lu Su who are familiar with military books to arrange it, and Kang Peng doesn't even need to look at it.

Kang Peng and Lu Xian were deceitful and hypocritical to each other, a gust of wind blew, Dong Zhuojun's warship swayed up and down, and the bumps continued, many Xiliang Iron Cavalry and Flying Bear Army specially arranged by Kang Peng were on the boat, not knowing the wind and waves, many people knew that they were lying on the side of the boat and vomiting, and the sergeant rolled down the river, and a small boat had already come to the rescue.

"King, dare to ask if there are good doctors in the army?" Lu Xian took the opportunity to lure Kang Pengdao, Kang Peng asked him what he was doing to find a good doctor, and Lu Xian admonished: "On the river, the tide rises and falls, and the wind and waves are endless; The northern soldiers were not accustomed to taking boats, and they were affected by this, and they became ill, and they owed the king good doctors in advance, so as not to prevent the epidemic of plague in the army and affect the king's plans. ”

Kang Peng smiled secretly, pretending to have a sad face, and said distressedly: "Lone is worried about this matter, the Northern Army is not accustomed to water and soil, and has the disease of vomiting, there are many dead, but Lone has no good solution." ”

"Don't worry, the king has a plan, so that the army doesn't have to worry about the wind, waves, water and soil." Lu Xian smiled and said: "If the big boats and small boats are all matched, or thirty for a row, or fifty for a row, the beginning and the end are chained with iron rings, and the top is covered with a wide board, so that the rest of the people can cross, and the horses can also walk. ”

"Oops!" Kang Peng was overjoyed, hurriedly jumped off the war horse, and bowed deeply to Lu Xian, "If there is no good plan from Mr., how can Lone break Sun Quan and Zhou Yu?" Lu Xian hurriedly dismounted and helped Kang Peng up, and Kang Peng turned around and scolded Jia Xu, Pang Tong, Xu Shu and Lu Su: "You wait for the Lu of eating orphans, and you should also be loyal to the lonely, such a good strategy, why can't you think of it so far?" ”

Jia Xu, Pang Tong, Xu Shu and Lu Su were angry in their hearts, and said in their hearts, didn't you repeatedly order us to lock the ship with iron rings, for fear that the enemy would attack with fire? But Kang Peng had already explained before, the four of them could only admit their mistakes and scold themselves for dying, Kang Peng puffed up the copper bell again, and shouted: "If you know that you are wrong, you can't save it, hurry up and build an iron lock for Lonely, remember, each ring must weigh thirty pounds, the longer the better!" ”

Pang Tong and Xu Shu rushed away, the iron lock must be beaten, Dong Zhuojun also has to use the iron lock to be of great use, usually hang on the boat and pretend, it is not bad to deceive Sun Quanjun's meticulous work. Jia Xu and Lu Su stayed and continued to accompany Kang Peng and Lu Xian, Lu Xian saw that the big thing had been accomplished, and he didn't dare to stay for a long time, so he immediately proposed to Kang Peng that his family was still in Jiangdong, and he would openly take refuge in Kang Peng now, but he was afraid that his family would be killed by Sun Quan, and hoped that Kang Peng would let him go back first, and wait for Kang Peng's army to hit Jiujiang, and then serve Kang Peng. The bad students understood Lu Xian very well, not only let him go immediately, but also personally promised a letter to Lu Xian, as long as he held this example, no Dong Zhuojun soldiers were allowed to harm Lu Xian's clan.

Seeing that the Lu Xianzao ship was getting farther and farther, Kang Peng turned his head and smiled at Jia Xu and Lu Su: "It's a big deal!" Our army only needs to wait for Kan Ze to agree on the time of fraudulent surrender, and then we can start and completely annihilate Sun Quan's army! ”

Kan Ze and Han Dang's surrender time has not yet been agreed, Dong Zhuojun is still in full swing to arrange the decisive battle, but the Dark Moon Group lurking in Lujiang first sent a shocking news, Liu Bei and Sun Quan's alliance has been reached, Liu Bei sent Guan Yu and Tai Shici two generals, with Zhuge Xuan as the military division, to lead 60,000 horse infantry to save Sun Quan, so as not to die and cry out.

Kang Peng had expected that Liu Bei would do this, and Kang Peng understood that Liu Bei's move was not only to save Sun Quan, but also to give Zhuge Xuan a secret order with Liu Bei's temper, once Sun Quan's army was defeated, Liu Beijun turned his gun, and in the name of saving his allies' families, he took the lead in capturing Jianye and picking up the fruits of Dong Zhuojun's victory. If Dong Zhuo's army is defeated, Liu Beijun will quickly go north to seize Jingzhou and grab the fruits of Sun Quan's army's victory. If Dong Zhuojun and Sun Quanjun are in a stalemate, Liu Beijun will not be stupid to come and fight to the death with Dong Zhuojun, he will definitely sit back and watch the changes and reap the benefits of the fishermen. Kang Peng guessed Liu Bei's intentions, and was not in a hurry to divide the army to meet the attack, but continued to wait, waiting for Zhou Yu to move first, and just sent multiple teams of sentry spies to closely monitor Liu Beijun's movements.

Quietly waited for more than ten days, late at night on September 12 in the fifth year of Han Chuping, Kan Ze came to Jiangxia again, and presented Han Dang's surrender to Kang Peng, saying that when the sixteenth son of September, that is, on the fifteenth night of September, he brought thirty grain ships to surrender, Kang Peng was overjoyed, rewarded Kan Ze, Kan Ze did not accept, and immediately left after the book, Kang Peng grabbed his hand and said a lot of affectionate advice, deceived Kan Ze into thinking that he had been calculated, and then let Kan Ze go back to Wuchang.

After Kan Ze left, Kang Peng ignored the fact that it was already the third watch in the middle of the night, and immediately ordered the account to be raised and the civil and military officials were summoned. In the handsome tent, Kang Peng was full of spirits. He slammed Kan Ze's book on the table and yelled, "Okay! Good! Good! September 15 is the beginning of autumn, the north wind is blowing, Zhou Yu'er is not willing to wait even a day! Zhou Yu'er thought that he had to plan, but he expected that Lone would be calculated! ”

"The generals will obey!" Kang Peng roared, and the full tent Wenwu immediately straightened his chest and abdomen, and waited with bated breath for Kang Peng's command, Kang Peng roared: "Where are Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, and Wei Yan?" ”

"The last general!" The three generals came out together and hugged Kang Peng.

"Order the three of you to lead 40,000 iron horsemen to cross to Jiangbei overnight, and you are limited to seize the estuary of Poyang Lake Lake before the night of September 14, and assist Zhang Xiu to pull the iron lock east of the mouth of Poyang Lake, and force Sun Quan's defeated army into Poyang Lake!" Kang Peng roared again: "Your task is the heaviest, the army of the big-eared thief is likely to go south to reinforce Sun Quan, Guan Yu and Tai Shici who led the army are the minions of the big-eared thief, you not only have to repel Liu Bei's army, but also bring Guan Yu and Tai Shici back to send them to Gu!" Do you have faith? ”

"Have faith!" The three generals shouted in unison, and Lu Bu even shouted: "Father-in-law, don't worry, the child will definitely bring back the heads of Guan Yu and Tai Shici and give them to his father as a night pot!" ”

"Ma Chao, Zhang Xiu, Pang De, Gao Shun, Yan Yan, and Zhang Ren listen to orders!" Kang Peng ordered to the six generals: "Order the six of you to raise 80,000 horse infantry troops, set off overnight, bypass the south of Wuchang, and limit you to capture Yuzhang and Poyang before the night of September 14, Zhang Xiu led the cavalry to bypass Poyang first, seize the mouth of the lake south of Poyang Lake, and pull the iron lock on the Yangtze River with Lu Bu and Zhao Yun's troops, block Poyang Lake, and hit the enemy troops who fled ashore!" Yuzhang and Poyang defenders are weak, but the detour is far away, remember, you want speed! ”

"Yes!"

"Ma Zhong listens to orders!" Kang Peng called Ma Zhong, who rarely entered the commander's tent to discuss matters, and ordered sharply: "Order you to dispatch all the Dark Moon Group, and give you three thousand light horsemen, and be sure to wipe out the enemy troops lurking near our army!" Do not let the enemy know the slightest move of our army! ”

Ma Zhong has not been idle these days, after a series of intense reconnaissance, he had already ambushed Sun Quan's army in Jiangxia to find out the situation, and promised loudly: "The last general is willing to guarantee with his head, and he will definitely wipe out the enemy's meticulous scouts!" ”

Kang Peng nodded with satisfaction, and shouted to the other generals: "Since the whole army has been under martial law from time on, the rest of the people, together with Gu Tong, will lead all the troops to advance by land and water, and set off on September 14 to attack Wuchang overnight and drive the enemy into Poyang Lake!" ”

"Yes!" All the generals roared together, and only Cai Mao asked, "King, the main force of our army is only 180,000, the army is only 60,000, and the enemy army also has 20 armies. ”

Kang Peng looked up to the sky and laughed, "Hahahaha! Jiangdong is sparsely populated, and Sun Quan can also raise an army of 200,000? Gu Zao sent someone to investigate and understand that in Sun Quan's army, there were more than 80,000 troops over 50 years old and under 15 years old, at least 70,000 recruits who had never been on the battlefield, and even women were used for logistics and grain transportation, and the army with real combat effectiveness was only 50,000. Moreover, Zhou Yu'er thought that Lone had already been tricked, and he would definitely let the army rest enough on the night of September 14, and the defense would not be so tight. ”

The generals bowed and said in unison: "The king is clever, and the ghosts and gods are unpredictable." ”

Kang Peng thought for a while, and added: "Lone reiterates military discipline again, no prisoners are allowed, as long as the enemy surrenders, you are not allowed to kill again, and our army has to leave a trace of vitality to Jiangnan." ”

The generals were moved, praised Kang Peng's compassion, and scolded Sun Quan for being inferior to Zhou Yu's pigs and dogs, and even wanted to pull the whole Jiangnan to bury them. Hearing Zhou Yu's name, Kang Peng's heart sank in triumphant, and the picture of the skinny little Qiao struggling and begging appeared in his mind, and a burst of sourness rose in Kang Peng's heart.
