Chapter 39: Han Xuan vs. Cao Mengde

Zhang Fei asked Liu Bei for help, Liu Bei was shocked, and urgently summoned Sun Qian, Jian Yong and others to discuss: "Today, Yide is trapped in Yiling, and Gongjin is defeated in Jiangzhong: Shu is a big army, what can I do?" ”

Sun Qian said: "Today, my whole army is working together to resist the enemy, Han Xuan is confronting Cao Cao, and he must not want to be attacked on both sides, and he will fully support the lord." ”

While he was talking, Mi Zhu came back, and only said: "Chu Hou Han Xuan ordered Sun Quan to be the main general, Sun Huan to be the deputy general, Sun Gui to be the vanguard, and Xu Zhong to lead the army to come to help the lord in the starry night." ”

Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this, and at this time, Chen Zhi sent someone to report that Lu Xun led the army to the west of Jiangxia to assist Guan Yu in resisting Cao Ren.

Liu Bei firmly believed that holding Han Xuan's thigh would definitely be able to resist Liu Du's attack, so Liu Bei sent Chen Dao, Mi Fang, and Fu Shiren to lead troops to rescue Zhang Fei, and Liu Bei Zi, Sun Qian, Jian Yong and others stepped up their recruitment from various counties and counties.

Chen Zhi and the others ran to Yiling, but encountered Zhao Yun blocking the road halfway. Chen Zhi saw that Zhao Yun's white horse and silver spear were extraordinary, and he did not dare to underestimate the enemy at the moment.

Chen Zhi ordered Mi Fang and Fu Shiren to suppress their positions, and immediately stepped forward and pointed a gun at Zhao Yun and asked, "I am Ru Nan Chen to Chen Shuzhi, who are you?" ”

"Changshan Zhao Zilong!" Zhao Yun replied.

"You are the self-proclaimed 'victorious general' Zhao Yun? It's a pity that you met me, and today you will be defeated! Chen Zhi made a move of the gun, and the elite soldiers behind him followed Chen Zhi and rushed towards Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun didn't panic at all, and the hundred birds showed off the phoenix marksmanship, although the elite soldiers of Bai Yu were elite, they died as many as they came. Chen Zhi saw that Zhao Yun's marksmanship was so exquisite, and personally rushed over to fight Zhao Yun.

Chen Zhi and Bai Yu's elite soldiers bullied the widows with the crowd, and Bai Mayi behind Zhao Yun couldn't see it, so they rushed over together. Although Bai Ma Yicong is a cavalry, the Bai Yu elite soldiers are very restrained from this kind of light cavalry, but the number of Bai Yu elite soldiers is relatively small, so the two sides are inseparable for a while.

And Zhao Yun and Chen Zhi jumped out of the battle group and came to an open field to fight. Chen Zhi and Zhao Yun fought for thirty rounds without winning or losing, and Zhao Yun knew that the other party was also a master of using guns, so he put away the gun and used his own self-created Seven Probes Snake Disc marksmanship.

Chen Zhi was slightly startled when he saw Zhuang, but his marksmanship was not chaotic, and let Zhao Yun use moves such as picking, pecking, and winding, and Chen Zhi still cracked them one by one.

Zhao Yun was shocked, this person's marksmanship was so pure, he had to use a trick. Zhao Yun hooked the stirrup with one foot, stepped on the horse's back with the other, and jumped into the air with a sudden kick.

"The dragon is in the sky!" Zhao Yun shook out seventy-two styles with a spear in the air, this is Zhao Yun's killer weapon, which was originally intended to be reserved for a peerless master like Lu Bu, but today only with this can he defeat Chen Dao.

Chen Zhi looked at Zhao Yun in the air, and he also smacked his tongue again and again, and the spear in his hand swung out again and again to block Zhao Yun's first half of the move. But Zhao Yun's moves became more and more aggressive, and Chen Zhi pulled out the Qingyu sword at his waist in a hurry, holding a gun in one hand and a sword in the other to resist.

Zhao Yun saw the dazzling polish of the Qingyu Sword in the sunlight, and hurriedly raised his spear to attack Chen Zhi's left-handed sword. Chen Zhi threw the Qingyu Sword out in a hurry, and Zhao Yun picked it up with a gentian bright silver spear and snatched it in his hand.

Looking at Chen Dao again, he has already retreated to his own formation. Later, Mi Fang and Fu Shiren led troops to kill together, and Zhao Yun fought and retreated, and withdrew under the cover of Bai Ma Yi.

Chen Zhi did not pursue, and led the army to kill under Yiling City. Zhuo Ying and Zhang Wei led the army to kill, and Chen Zhi urged the army to come forward to kill the siege and break into the city of Yiling.

Zhang Fei opened the door to welcome Chen into the city and killed Liu Dujun's pursuers. Zhang Fei learned that Liu Bei was trying to send reinforcements to support, so he insisted on Yiling City without fighting. Ren Liu Dujun made catapults and bed crossbows attack, and Zhang Fei and Chen Zhi also held on for more than a month.

In March 217, Cao Cao completed his army, and then raised his army to conquer Han Xuan again. Han Xuan led his troops to resist, and Cao Cao led his army into the nest.

Han Xuan and the strategists discussed, first assigned Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai to lead fifty big ships and ambush them at the mouth of the water; Chen Wu led his men and horses to patrol the riverbank.

Pang Tong said: "Now that Cao Cao is far away, we must first frustrate his spirit. When the spring water rises, our Jiangdong naval army will attack in a big way, and Cao's army will retreat without a fight. ”

Han Xuan then asked the generals under his account: "Cao Cao is far away, who dares to break the enemy first to frustrate his spirit?" ”

Ling Tong came out and said: "A certain wish." ”

Han Xuan asked, "How many troops do you bring?" ”

Ling replied confidently, "Three thousand people are enough." ”

Gan Ning sneered when he heard this: "You only need a hundred horses to break the enemy, why bother three thousand!" ”

Ling Tong was furious, and the two of them competed in front of Han Xuan.

Han Xuan slapped the table and stopped the two, and only said, "Cao's army is too powerful to be underestimated." ”

Han Xuan then ordered Ling Tong to take 3,000 troops out of the mouth of the sentry to investigate, and when he met Cao Bing, he fought with him. Commander Ling led the order, led 3,000 men and horses, and left the Whisker Dock. Where the dust started, Cao Bing arrived early. The pioneer Lejin and Ling Tong clashed, fighting fifty times, regardless of victory or defeat. Han Xuan was afraid that Ling would lose his command, so he ordered LΓΌ Meng to lead troops to take him back to the camp.

When Gan Ning saw Ling Tong coming back, he said to Han Xuan: "Ning only took a hundred men and horses to rob Cao's camp tonight; If you break one person and ride one, it is not considered merit. ”

Han Xuan saw that Gan Ning was so heroic, so he transferred a hundred elite cavalry under his tent to Gan Ning's commander; And he gave fifty bottles of wine and fifty pounds of mutton to the soldiers.

Gan Ning returned to the camp and taught a hundred people to sit in a row, first pour wine in a silver bowl, and drink two bowls for themselves, so he said to the hundred people: "I am ordered to rob the village tonight, please all the princes drink a full drink, and strive to move forward." ”

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other. Gan Ning saw that everyone's faces were embarrassed, so he drew his sword in his hand and said angrily: "I am a general, and I will not spare my life; Why should you hesitate! ”

Seeing that Gan Ning's face had changed greatly, everyone bowed and said, "I am willing to serve death." ”

Gan Ning ate and drank the wine and meat rewarded by Han Xuan with 100 people, and agreed to take 100 white goose feathers and insert them on his helmet at the second watch.

Everyone put on their armor and mounted their horses, galloped to the edge of Cao Cao's village, and pulled out the antlers. Gan Ning led people to attack and kill Cao Jun's secret outpost, shouted, entered the village, and went straight to the Chinese army to kill Cao Cao.

The soldiers and horses in the Cao army were put down on the side of the road with chariots and connected together, surrounded like iron barrels, and the army could not enter for a while. Gan Ning only led this hundred elite horsemen, rushing left and right.

Cao Bing panicked, and he didn't know how many enemy soldiers there were, and he disturbed each other. Gan Ning led this hundred cavalry to gallop across the camp, and killed Cao Bing when he encountered it. The battalions clamoured out, raising torches as many as sparks, and shouting loudly from all sides.

Gan Ning came out of the south gate of Cao Jun's Dazhai, and no one dared to stop him. Han Xuan ordered Zhou Tai to bring in a group of soldiers and horses to respond. Gan Ning led the 100 cavalry back to Weisu safely, and Cao Cao's soldiers were afraid of an ambush and did not dare to pursue.

Gan Ning led a hundred cavalry to Han Xuanjun's village, without losing one person or one horse. When they arrived at the camp gate, they ordered all the hundred people to beat their drums and flutes, and exclaimed, "Long live!" ”

There was a loud cry of joy in all directions, and Han Xuan came to greet him in person. Gan Ning dismounted and bowed: "Gan Ning is fortunate to live up to his mission!" ”

Han Xuan picked up Gan Ning, took Gan Ning's hand and said, "The general's departure is enough to frighten the old thief. is not a lonely Qing adventure, and I want to watch Qing's courage! ”

Han Xuan ordered people to give thousands of silk horses and a hundred good knives. Gan Ning took it and gave it to the hundred people.

Han Xuan smiled and said to the generals: "There is a lonely Gan Xingba, which is enough to defeat Cao Mengde. ”

The next day, Cao Hong led his troops into battle. Seeing that Gan Ning had meritoriousness, Ling Tong stepped forward and said to Han Xuan: "I wish to be the enemy Cao Hong." ”

Han Xuan allowed Ling Tong to fight, and Ling Tong led 5,000 troops and left the Wet Whisker Dock. Han Xuanzi led Gan Ning to watch the battle, and against the circle, Cao Hong came out of the horse, with Li Dian on the left and Le Jin on the right.

Ling Tong raised his horse and came to the front of the formation. Cao Hong made Le enter and exit the battle to meet the battle, and the two fought to fifty together, without winning or losing. After Cao Cao heard about it, he personally rode his horse to the door to see, and saw that the two generals were fighting, so he ordered Cao Xiu to secretly release cold arrows.

Cao Xiu flashed behind Cao Hong, opened his bow and arrow, and shot Ling Tong sitting down on his horse, and the horse stood upright and knocked Ling Tong to the ground. Le Jin hurriedly stabbed with a gun, but the gun had not yet been stabbed, only the sound of the bowstring was heard, and an arrow hit Le Jin's front door, and Le Jin turned over and fell off the horse.

The two armies went out together, each rescued his own generals and returned to the camp, and Mingjin stopped the battle. Ling Tong returned to the village to thank Han Xuan, and Han Xuan sighed: "The one who released the arrow to save you, Gan Ning also." ”

Gan Ning was silent on the side, and Ling Tong stepped forward to bow to Gan Ning and said, "I don't want the general to be so gracious!" ”

Gan Ning picked up Ling Tong and said: "In the past, Ling Zun and I were each our masters, and I would rather do it. Now you and I are both working for Chuhou, and we should focus on the overall situation and work together to the outside world. ”

Since then, Ling Tong and Gan Ning have become friends of life and death, and they will no longer fight each other.

Let's say that Cao Cao saw that Le Jin was hit by an arrow, and asked people to help him to the tent for treatment. The next day, Cao Cao divided his troops into five routes to attack the mouth of the water: Cao Cao led the middle road; Cao Hong on the left and Li Dian on the second; Xu Huang on the right road, Lu Bu on the second road. Each road brought 10,000 horses and drove to the river. At this time, the two generals Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin saw the arrival of the Cao Army's Fifth Route Army on the ship, and all the troops under their command were frightened and unstable.
