Chapter 41: The Caged Bird
The bad weather affected Cao Jun. Cao Cao ordered Xiahoudun to lead an army as the vanguard to support Cao Hong and others, but encountered continuous heavy rain during the march, and on the muddy road, Xiahoudun's forward army arrived at the riverside, but Cao Hong and Li Dian could not be found, and Cao Cao's main army had not yet arrived.
At this time, the river rose, and the armored ships of Jiangdong also advanced slightly. Because rain and rising water can easily lead to floods, the Jiangdong Navy can rely on boats and ships to swim in the floods that may occur at any time, and Xiahoudun led the forward army to withdraw.
After the weather improved, Cao Cao's army entered Hao Yu in Tunjiangxi, and Cao Hong, Li Dian, and Xu Huang also returned. Xu Huangjun found Lu Bu's body by the river and sent it back with a war horse. Lu Bu bravely crowned the three armies, and Lu Bu died in this battle, which was a big blow to the morale of the Cao army.
Cao Cao was furious and launched a fierce attack on the mouth of the wet beard. The Jiangdong army, under the leadership of the governor LΓΌ Meng and the governor Jiang Qin, struggled to resist the attack of Cao's army.
Wei general Sun Guan was wounded by the Jiangdong army's stray arrows when he stormed the mouth of the water, but he still insisted on fighting. Under the courageous resistance of Chen Wu, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai and other generals, Cao's army gradually became overwhelmed.
Han Xuan and Cao Cao rejected each other for more than a month and could not win. Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong admonished: "Cao Cao is powerful and cannot be taken; If you fight for a long time, you will lose a lot of soldiers. It is better to seek peace and peace for the people. β
Han Xuan listened to the advice of the two and ordered Liu Ye to go to Cao Ying to ask for peace, promising to pay tribute every year. Under Liu Ye's persuasion, Cao Cao couldn't help but retreat. Later, Yecheng sent someone to report that Dian Wei was seriously ill and died.
Cao Cao saw that Jiangnan was in a hurry, so he agreed to Han Xuan's request for peace, ordering: "Han Xuan will withdraw the men and horses first, and I will then be the teacher." β
Liu Ye came back to resume his life, and Han Xuan learned that only Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai were left to guard the mouth of the water, and sent a large army to return to Jianye.
Cao Cao went back to Yecheng, and the class teacher comforted Sun Guan on the way and said: "The general has been hit so hard, but he is more brave, don't you regret your body for the country?" β
Cao Cao then renamed Sun Guan as General Zhenwei, but because Sun Guan was too seriously injured, he eventually died of his injuries.
After Han Xuan returned to Jianye, he convened all the strategists to discuss how to deal with Liu Du's army. The soldiers and horses led by Sun Quan have now arrived in Changsha, and they will soon be able to reach Yiling to support Liu Bei's army.
It's just that today's Yiling City has long been dilapidated under the attack of Liu Du's army. The city was cut off for more than a month, and the soldiers and civilians dug grass and caught rats for food, and finally everything that could be eaten in the city was completely eaten. The people could not bear to be hungry and demanded that Kaesong surrender, but Zhang Fei flatly refused.
Seeing this tragic situation, Zhang Fei ordered the soldiers to kill the war horses for food. After holding on for a few more days, Sun Quan finally brought troops to the rescue, but was stopped by Liu Du's army and couldn't be killed.
Zhang Fei wanted to lead the army out of the city to respond, but Chen Zhi dissuaded: "General Zhang, you are responsible for protecting Yiling City, how can you go out lightly?" To the general of Yuandai to kill out of the city and meet the Jiangdong army. β
"Uncle Zhi, you are suffering from a stubborn disease, how can you get it?" Zhang Fei sighed.
"Out of the way. Back then, I single-handedly slaughtered Cao Cao's 200,000 troops, and today's things can also be done. At this time, Chen Zhi had already suffered from dysentery and went out with illness.
Zhang Fei ordered the people to open the east gate, and Chen Zhi hurriedly got on the horse, leading the elite soldiers of Bai Yu to kill suddenly. The Shu soldiers who were fighting with Sun Quan's army suddenly became a mess, and Chen Zhi killed the remaining soldiers and ran straight towards Sun Quan.
On the road, I met a barbarian soldier, all of whom were wearing their hair and feet, and they all made bows, crossbows, spears, and swords and axes. The leader is the king of Fan, Shamoke, who was born to face the fierceness and evil, so that an iron thistle terrestris bone flower, and two bows on his belt.
Seeing that it was powerful, Chen Zhi did not dare to fight, turned his horse away, and was shot in the head by an arrow from Shamoke. Chen Zhi walked away with an arrow, arrived at the mouth of Fuchi, sat under a big tree and died. Hundreds of crows on the trees surrounded Chen Zhi's body and wailed.
Sun Quan led Sun Huan and Sun Gui to the city of Yiling, Zhang Fei saw it, and hurriedly shouted: "Where is the army of the Marquis of Chu?" β
"It will take time for the Marquis of Chu to arrive here, and he just met a general Chen in the city and shot him for the enemy general. This poor and lonely city cannot be defended, General Zhang can quickly abandon this city and kill it with me! The surrounding Shu soldiers surrounded him again, and Sun Quan hurriedly shouted at Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei was so sad when he heard that Chen Zhi was dead, he immediately mounted his horse with a spear, opened the city gate and led the troops to kill. In the Shu camp, Zhao Yun led the army to kill, and took Zhang Fei directly with a gun, and the two exchanged horses for more than 20 years, Zhang Fei did not dare to fight, so he turned the horse and left.
Suddenly, there was a loud shout in front, and a Biao army blocked the way, headed by the general Zhao Rong. Zhang Fei took the road and left, losing most of the soldiers. As he was walking, a barbarian soldier from the east stopped him: Shamoke, the first general.
Zhang Fei was able to escape from the death battle, and the three-way chasing army came behind him. When they left the city gate five miles, Xu Zhong and Sun Gui killed them twice, and the Shu soldiers retreated and saved Zhang Fei.
Sun Quan and Zhang Fei led the defeated army to retreat to Jiangling and joined Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu learned that Yiling City had been lost and Chen Zhi had died, and sighed: "Now that the Shu army is strong, it is difficult for my lord Uncle Liu Huang to contend with. I have a plan, but I'm afraid I can't hide it from Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu. Today, Guan Yunchang was trapped in the public security and was surrounded by Shu soldiers. If I can break Liu Du here, I will definitely be able to solve his danger. β
"For the sake of today, the only way to do this is to take this risk." Zhang Fei and Guan Yu have a deep brotherly relationship, and he can't see death without help.
Zhou Yu then summoned the generals and soldiers to listen to the order: let Sun Quan march on the waterway, and in the afternoon of the coming day, the southeast wind will blow strongly, load the thatch with the boat, and follow the plan. Zhang Fei led an army to attack the north bank of the river, and Sun Huan led an army to attack the south bank of the river, each holding a handful of thatch, containing sulfur flame nitrate, each with fire, each holding a gun and knife, and went up together. But when you go to the Shu camp, you can raise fire with the wind. Forty Shu soldiers, only twenty tuns were burned, and one tun was burned in each tun. The armies brought dry food in advance, did not retreat temporarily, pursued day and night, and only captured Liu Dufang. The generals listened to the military order, and each received a plan and left.
Liu Du was thinking about Zhou Yu's strategy in the camp, and suddenly saw the flag of the Chinese army in front of the tent, and he fell down without wind. Liu Du then asked Jia Xu: "What is this sign?" β
Jia Xu replied: "Zhou Yu will send someone to rob the camp tonight." β
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and said with a smile: "The king and Wen He don't have to worry, Liang has already arranged it." β
At dusk, Zhang Fei led the army to Liu Dujun's Jiangbei camp to set fire, and the sergeant had just prepared the fire. But I saw a cannon shot, and the ambush soldiers came out in two strokes, Zhang Ren on the left and Pan Feng on the right.
Zhang Feijun was in chaos and hurriedly withdrew from the Jiangbei camp. Later, Xiahou Lan and Zhang Wei came, and Zhang Fei fought desperately, only dozens of horsemen followed.
At the beginning of the first shift, Sun Huan led the army to set fire to the Jiangnan camp, never thinking that the Shu soldiers had already built an earthen wall. Although Sun Huan ordered the sergeant to set fire, he only burned ten camps of the Shu army, and the two drums were loud, Zhao Yun and Wen Ping killed from both ends and took Sun Huan directly.
Sun Huan was unable to resist, so he turned his horse and left. Zhao Yun grabbed Sun Huan with a gun, Sun Huan turned around and shot, and Zhao Yun dodged. Zhao Yun captured Sun Huan and the rest of the army surrendered.
Zhao Yun escorted the pawn back to the camp, and at this time, a handsome young general suddenly jumped up, drew his knife and slashed straight at Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun narrowly escaped. Draw your sword and fight the young general.
The two fought for fifteen times, and Zhao Yun cut off the knife in the general's hand with a sword, and the young general hurriedly retreated. Zhao Yun stabbed at the top of his head with a sword, the man's head tilted back, and his hood was stabbed down by Zhao Yun, and his black and beautiful hair fell out.
"You're a woman!" Zhao Yun looked at her with a shocked face.
And Sun Huan, who was tied up, looked at the woman and his eyes widened: "Aunt Shangxiang! β
Sun Huan sighed, it turned out that Sun Shangxiang said to Han Xuan that he wanted to go back to Wu County to visit his mother when Han Xuan was preparing to go out to meet Cao Cao. Last time, Sun Shangxiang was found mixed into Sun Quan's army, and Sun Shangxiang had experience this time and mixed into this nephew Sun Huan's army.
Zhao Yunrong has been on the horse for half his life, and he has never seen a woman on the battlefield, so he felt novel, so he took Sun Shangxiang to see Liu Du. Liu Du looked at Sun Shangxiang in front of him and was surprised: "You are Sun Shangxiang?" β
"Who are you, and why do you know my name?" Sun Shangxiang looked at Liu Du in surprise and asked.
"You woman, you are so rude! The king of the Han Dynasty is here, don't you want to see him? Zhao Yun scolded.
"Hey, what are you murdering? Who do you call a woman, little woman, I am still waiting for the word boudoir. Sun Shangxiang and Zhao Yun stumbled.
Liu Du stopped the two with a smile, and Sun Shangxiang looked at Liu Du: "You are Liu Du?" I don't think you can use soldiers like this, if you wait for Han Zixin to come, you will definitely lose your armor! β
"Shut up!" Zhao Yun scolded again.
Liu Du waved his hand and said, "Since you know Han Xuan, come to see how I break Han Xuan!" Zilong, you first arrange a camp tent for Miss Shangxiang and let her go down to rest. β
Let's say that after Han Xuan finished reorganizing the army in Jianye, Mrs. Wu sent a message saying that she missed Sun Shangxiang and asked her to come back to see her. Only then did Han Xuan realize that Sun Shangxiang was missing, and with her character, it was most likely that she was mixed into the army.
