Chapter 168: Zhang Jaw vs. Soochow (I)
Zhou Yu, Lu Meng, and Gan Ning sat down one after another, and Sun Quan laughed and praised his merits with the ministers. A group of Dongwu civil and military officers all praised with their voices. And Sun Quan seemed to appreciate Gan Ning's courage that day, and praised it endlessly. The generals also expressed their admiration. Only Ling Tong's handsome face, sometimes hideous, glared at Gan Ning through gritted teeth. Ding Feng, who was next to him, was shocked, and hurriedly cast a look at his friend Ling Tong. Ling Tong's sword eyes narrowed, his teeth were almost crushed, and the whole person seemed to be about to explode, his face was full of blue muscles. Ding Feng was shocked.
When he was young, the wine was half drunk, Ling Tong was drunk, and he remembered more and more that Gan Ning killed his father's revenge, and when he saw Sun Quan praising him repeatedly, he was furious in his heart, he couldn't bear it, he stared straight at it for a long time, suddenly pulled out the sword he wore on the left and right, stood on the feast and shouted.
"There is no fun before the feast, watch me dance the sword to cheer up!!"
After Ling Tong finished drinking, the sword dance started. Gan Ning knew what he meant, laughed, pushed away the fruit table and got up, and also took two big knives to the left and right, and made his debut in a vertical stride.
"Haha. What is so beautiful about dancing swords. Or this knife looks domineering! Look at me making a knife before the feast!! β
At this moment, Ding Feng had already gotten up, holding a card in one hand and a knife in the other, standing in it, and shouted loudly.
"Although the second prince is good, he is not as clever as me!!"
After that, Ding Feng danced the knife card. At this time, Ling Tongzheng stabbed with a sword, Ding Feng held the card to resist, Ling Tong's sword was stunned, and he stabbed out another sword. Ding Feng raised his knife to block. At this moment, Gan Ning took a brisk step, turned behind Ding Feng, and wanted to raise his knife and slash at Ling Tong. Fortunately, Lu Meng had already anticipated the intentions of Ling Tong and Gan Ning, and he also took the knife card, and rose up to block Gan Ning. The four of them danced and played with swords in front of the feast, and the swords and swords flew fast. Ding Feng and Lu Meng divided Ling Tong and Gan Ning into two. Sun Quan saw it, and his blue eyes shot out two fine lights, and he slapped the case suddenly. There was a thud. Zhou Yu got up and shouted.
"The king set up a feast to reward the princes, and the princes are not grateful, but they make trouble in front of the feast, what kind of system, don't put down their weapons quickly!!"
When the four of them heard this, they hurriedly put down their weapons, knelt on the ground, and confessed in unison. Sun Quan grimaced, got up and stepped down. Zhou Yu and Ling Cao had an old relationship, and they wanted to protect Ling Tong, so they hurriedly shouted first.
"Ling Gongji! I often teach you to stop thinking about the old hatred, Gan Xingba has become Wu Chen, and Wu Wang's hegemony needs to rely on his bravery. Why are you like this today? β
"It's really not a narrow-minded and unforgettable old hatred. It's the revenge of killing the husband, and it doesn't share the sky. Although a certain is Wu Chen, he is also a son of man, how dare he forget it!? β
When Ling Tong heard this, he cried and worshiped on the ground. Ling Tong cried so hard that everyone who heard it was moved. Even Gan Ning rarely showed a little guilt, stood aside, and remained silent. When Sun Quan heard this, his face sank, he sighed, and reassured him repeatedly. Ling Tong cried and retreated. The feast broke up unhappily.
The next day, Sun Quan gathered a group of civil and military to discuss, and Zhou Yu advised that he should take advantage of the military power to raise troops to enter Yuzhou. When Sun Quan heard this, he also felt reasonable, so he taught Dong Xi and Chen Wu to guard Shouchun, and the rest of the soldiers all marched with the army to Yuzhou.
Let's say that Zhang Jaw lost Shouchun, and after returning to Ruyin, he was depressed, and Yu Ban, Le Jin and other generals often came to ask for orders to march. Zhang Jaw has always been cautious and does not dare to act rashly, so he has not raised troops for a long time. Suddenly, someone reported that Xiahou Yuan, the general of the expedition to the west, had arrived. When Zhang Jaw heard this, his face was stunned, and he hurriedly went out of the public hall to greet him. I saw Xiahou Yuan holding a wooden box in his hand, and when he saw it, his face was condensed, and he listened to Xiahou Yuan say.
"The King of Wei has a saying, if the thief comes, he will dismantle it and watch it."
Xiahou Yuan said and handed the wooden box to Zhang Jaw. Zhang Jaw caught it, and suddenly a scout came to report, saying that Sun Quan had led 100,000 troops to attack Ruyin, and now he had reached the realm of Yuzhou. Hearing this, Zhang Jaw's color changed, and after glancing at Xiahou Yuan, he opened the box to look at it. The inner writing is written.
If Sun Quanzhi arrived, the three generals Zhang, Xiahou, and Yu went to war, and General Le defended the city. Zhang Jaw looked at it, muttered for a while, and secretly said that Cao Cao must have a reason for employing people like this, so he summoned Yu Ban and Le to come over and show the document to him. Yu Ban and Le Jin looked at each other, glanced at each other, and Yu Ban spoke first.
"What does the general mean?"
Zhang Jaw's face froze, and the tiger's eyes burst out, and he said in a condensed voice.
"The king of Wei has always used soldiers like a god, and he knows how to make good use of talents, so he must have a deep meaning. Today, I will send troops with Xiahou and Yu to meet them, fight hard, and break their sharpness. General Le looked at the situation later, if our army defeated the Wu soldiers, we could quickly send a large army to attack and annihilate it in one fell swoop, and capture Sun Quan. But if our army is defeated, General Le can quickly send rescue troops to respond, and we will retreat to Ruyin and slowly resist it. β
Yu Bansu and Zhang Jaw were not on good terms, and when they heard Zhang Jaw's words, they groaned and did not answer. And Le Jin has a deep friendship with Yu Ban, seeing Yu Ban's expression, he understands in his heart, that is, he said.
"Wu soldiers conquered Shouchun, the soldiers were strong, and Zhou Gongjin was his commander, facing the enemy head-on, but I am afraid that it was not the opponent of the other army. It's better to stick to Ruyin. β
When he heard this, he saw that Le Jin suddenly changed his previous attitude, frowned, and looked at Yu Ban's face with his spare eyes, and suddenly realized that he smiled bitterly in his heart. It turned out that Cao Cao was the commander of the three armies with Zhang Jaw, and Yu Ban had always been unconvinced, but he didn't dare to speak out. And Yu Ban and Le Jin have a very good relationship in private, and this time it must be because Yu Ban is afraid that he will make meritorious contributions, so he teaches Le Jin to stop him. Zhang Jaw's face sank, and when he was about to open his mouth to speak, Xiahou Yuan scrambled to shout.
"Le Wenqian! Since the king of Wei has a decree, you don't obey him!? β
As soon as Xiahou Yuan said this, Le Jin's face suddenly changed, and he didn't dare to speak. Yu Banhu's eyes narrowed, and then retorted.
"General Xiahou's words are wrong. The so-called generals will not be subject to the orders of the monarch outside. Now is indeed not the time to go to war, what General Le wants, and it is also for the sake of our Wei country. β
When he heard this, he suddenly shouted.
"Since General Yu is afraid of Soochow. I will go out with General Xiahou to meet the Wu soldiers and fight to the death. General Yu and General Le can guard the city, and they can sleep without worry! ! β
After drinking with his jaw, he taught the left and right to prepare the horses, preparing to lead the army out of the city. Xiahou Yuan snorted coldly and glanced at Yu Ban with disdain. Yu Ban glared at the tiger angrily, trembling all over, and shouted angrily.
"The general is like this, how dare he forget his official duties? I would like to listen to the command!! β
Zhang Jaw was overjoyed when he heard this, and said with a smile.
"If you are willing to help each other, you can help in big things."
After smiling, he discussed the design with the generals. Earlier, Zhang Jaw personally led his soldiers and horses to explore the surrounding terrain, and immediately said a plan.
"I heard that Soochow is advancing by land and water. If you take the waterway, you must go through the Huai River. As for the land route, it should take the Huai River Lindao. In this way, the Japanese can lead an army to the southeast of the Huai River, in an ambush at the mouth of the cliff, but see the first Wu soldiers killed, and do not attack. Just wait for Sun Quan to come and quickly break the Golden Bird Bridge, and General Xiahou and I will take advantage of the situation to attack. β
Yu Ban listened to the plan, and the head of the jaw ordered to go to the army to ambush first. However, it is said that Sun Quan ordered LΓΌ Meng and Gan Ning to be the front team, and since he was in the center with Ling Tong and Ding Feng, Zhou Yu led the rest of the generals to march from the waterway one after another. The front teams of LΓΌ Meng and Gan Ning advanced all the way, and the morale of the Wu soldiers was high, and none of them were slack, and they marched quickly. Zhang Jaw heard that the scout was coming, and he taught Xiahou Yuan to do this. Xiahou Yuan received the order and quickly gathered his troops and horses out of the city to greet him. Xiahou Yuan's march was less than a few miles away, and he first met Gan Ning's army. Gan Ning saw that it was Xiahou Yuan's banner, his eyes were glaring, and he suddenly came out of the battle, shouting that Xiahou Yuan would come to fight. Xiahou Yuan smiled coldly, galloped out of the battle with a spear and prancing horse, and clashed with Gan Ning. The two horses intersected, Gan Ning raised his knife angrily, looked at Xiahou Yuan and slashed at the door. Xiahou Yuan flashed, twisted the gun and slammed it at Gan Ning's heart. Gan Ning had already prepared, flashed sideways, shouted, and slashed violently with a knife. Xiahou or blocked or avoided, and fought with Gan Ning for more than a dozen rounds, and suddenly sold a flaw. Gan Ning saw that there was a gap, and roared loudly, bursting with momentum, and slashed with a knife. Xiahou Yuan seemed to see a giant bird with thunder fluttering its wings and crashing into it. Xiahou Yuan dared to be lazy, with a roar, the gun suddenly stabbed out, and Gan Ning seemed to see a vicious wolf covered in black flames, crawling and running. The knives and guns collided, and there was a loud bang, and the dust flew up in the sky. I saw Xiahou Yuan and his people and horses flying out of the dust, and he was very embarrassed. Xiahou Yuan's eyes were a little shocked, and he secretly said that this Gan Xingba is really powerful. Suddenly, there was another tiger roar, and Gan Ning rushed to the horse. Xiahou Yuan's expression froze, and he left. Gan Ning shouted and scolded endlessly, and when he saw that Xiahou Yuan was about to flee away, he hung a big knife on his saddle, took an iron chain and shook it, and threw it at Xiahou Yuan's vest. Xiahou Yuan heard the loud sound in the air, and subconsciously turned around and stabbed with his gun, and the gun hit the chain flying from Gan Ning, hitting a brilliant spark. Seeing that he didn't succeed, Gan Ning suddenly pulled back the chain, and when he wanted to attack again, he said that it was too late and that it was fast, and Xiahou Yuan suddenly shot an arrow from his back. The arrow came extremely suddenly, Gan Ning was unprepared for a while, and when he dodged away, the arrow flew almost close to Gan Ning's ear. Gan Ning was startled, a cold sweat broke out all over his body, and he was secretly thrilling, and when he stabilized his mind, he saw that Xiahou Yuan had already fled away. Gan Ning's face was cold, he laughed angrily, and quickly ordered the soldiers to pursue. At this time, Lu Meng happened to hear the sound and rushed over, and Gan Ning hurriedly beckoned Lu Meng to lead the army together. Lu Meng saw that Gan Ning was urging tightly, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly taught the soldiers to pursue. Gan Ning and LΓΌ Meng led the army to chase and kill. Xiahou Yuan led his soldiers and horses across a bridge and fled to the mouth of a valley in the east. Gan Ning and Lu Meng chased after each other, and Wu Bing scolded endlessly. Xiahou Yuan pretended to be flustered, shouted and shouted, urging the army to flee quickly. In order to hide from the Wu soldiers, there were countless people who lost their armor and abandoned their armor. Gan Ning laughed, extremely arrogant.
Let's say that Sun Quan is leading the Chinese army to come, and he heard the scouts coming to report that the front army was victorious. Gan Ning, LΓΌ Meng and other generals are pursuing Cao Wei's general Xiahou Yuan. When Sun Quan heard this, his face was overjoyed, and he secretly thought that if he could kill Xiahou Yuan, it would be like cutting off Cao Cao's arm. The name of his grandson Zhongmou will be even more famous in the world, overshadowing the prestige of his father and brother. Sun Quan finished thinking about it, his heart was restless, and he quickly urged the troops forward, all the way to the cliff pass. At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of cannons, and at the mouth of the valley on the left, Zhang Jaw led an army to kill, and on the right side of the road, Yu Ban led an army to kill. Sun Quan's face changed drastically in fright, and he hurriedly went to call Lu Meng and Gan Ning to rescue.
