The two major naval armies were fighting hotly on the Yangtze River, and at this time, in the territory of Yunmengze, there were 5,000 elite soldiers and horses, shuttling through Huarong Road, and touching Jiangling, the southern county governor, through the land of Shuize.

Huarong Road is not a smooth avenue, but from the coast of Changjian, across the swamp, you can directly reach Huarong County, the county seat not far to the east of Nanjun (now Huarong, Jianli, Shishou, Gong'an and Junshan District, Yueyang City, most of Nanxian County, and the vast area in the east of Anxiang).

Between Huarong County and Jiangling, there is no natural danger to hinder. As long as you arrive in Huarong, it is no different from arriving in Gangneung.

It's just that there are endless water lands in the south and east of Huarong. The swamp in Yunmengze can be shallow or deep, and if you are not careful, you will be dragged into the mud by the ruthless swamp, and the bones will not exist. Even the local people did not dare to set foot in the swampy land in Yunmengze easily.

Although Wen Ping has always been a general in Jingzhou, he is not good at land warfare. Wen Ping never thought that Sun Ce's army would take the risk of forcibly crossing Huarong Dao and directly arriving at Huarong County to coerce Jiangling.

"Wenpin, where are you going to escape!"

On the edge of the Yangtze River, outside the city of Xiaoling.

Wenpin, who was defeated on the river, still failed to escape Ling Cao's pursuit.

"Humph! What if you don't run away? Wen Ping looked very decadent, covered in mud and weeds, and looked a little sluggish.

Ling Cao, who came on horseback, looked at Wen Ping with some reluctance and said: "General Wen Ping, you are also the queen of the general, and you are very knowledgeable, why don't you see the situation clearly?" ”

"Liu Bei has always been swaggering and deceiving in the name of the royal family, when did he really want to help the Han family?"

"Besides, the luck of the Han family is long gone, and the people don't have much of a sense of belonging to the Han family, what is the benefit of rebuilding the Han family for the current situation and the people of the world?"

Ling Cao persuaded in a deep voice, as if he hoped that Wen Ping would be able to understand current affairs.

"If today, the Four Kingdoms stand, Cao Cao is sandwiched between the Kingdom of My Lord Desire, and it is only a matter of time before he perishes. Although Yizhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is also a land of trapped dragons, and General Wenpin follows Liu Bei and benefits? ”

"That's it!" Wen Ping shouted, interrupting Ling Cao and said, "I can't talk about loyalty and courage in the next place, but I also know when to do it and what not to do." ”

"When Jingzhou collapsed, since he had already chosen the lord, he had no intention of defecting and surrendering."

Wen Ping looked at the remnants of the more than 1,000 troops behind him, and said with a slightly wry smile: "Please also ask General Ling Cao not to persuade him again, can he leave some face for the general?" ”

Ling Cao stared at Wen Ping with his eyes, sighed steadily and said, "Do you really want to fight to the death?" The general doesn't think about the soldiers behind him? ”

"General Ling Cao, do you dare to fight in front of you?"

Wen Ping slightly tidied up his hair bun and armor, and said in a deep voice: "If the general loses, the general will be at his disposal, and the soldiers under his command will surrender to the Wu State." ”

"If the general wins, is the general willing to let his corporal soldiers go and send them back to their hometown? Ben would have been able to guarantee that they would no longer serve in the army and serve our lord. ”

Ling Cao took a deep look at Wen Ping, raised his hand and waved his hand to let his soldiers retreat, and then clenched his fist at Wen Ping.

Seeing this, Wen Ping also waved his hand with a little gratitude in his eyes, and the more than a thousand remnants behind him slowly retreated with a slightly unbearable look.

"This general Wu Jun Ling Cao, can the enemy general dare to fight?"

"Haha..."Wenpin laughed insolently, and replied loudly: "Nanyang Wenpin, please!" ”

The two shouted, and a river breeze suddenly blew on the river, and the flags of the two armies were hung with a whirring sound.

In the confrontation of tens of thousands, there was no sound, only Wen Ping's laughter remained.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Wen Ping turned over and got on his horse, shouted at the same time as Ling Cao, and rushed towards the other party.

The collision of knives and guns does not have the momentum of fighting and fighting on the battlefield on weekdays, but it is like two friends who have been friends for many years are fighting, and the clanging sound is non-stop.

Wen Ping's laughter seemed to make Ling Cao more and more open, and he opened the big combination and Wen Ping through dozens of moves.

With a loud bang, Ling Cao was hurriedly beaten back by the sweep that Wen Ping turned around. Ling Cao's face froze, his legs were pierced fiercely, and then he bent slightly, and bounced out with a bang, and the spear in his hand danced with spear flowers, and attacked Wen Ping.

Wen Ping dodged Ling Cao's fatal blow sideways, and the long knife in his hand fell fiercely, slashing towards Ling Cao's waist.

Ling Cao's face changed drastically, and his expression was even a little frightened. Such a sharp knife, if it is implemented, Ling Cao will only die on the spot.

In a hurry, Ling Cao's waist sank violently, and he fell to the ground, and at the same time turned over with all his strength. He pulled back the spear in his hand, trying to block Wen Ping's long knife.

Ling Cao, who turned over, did not see a fierce face, let alone feel a terrifying murderous aura.

Between them, the long knife in Wen Ping's hand flipped slightly, and passed between Ling Cao's waist and abdomen. Seeing Wen Ping's slightly relieved chuckle again, Ling Cao was shocked again, and hurriedly pulled the spear in his hand back.

However, between the fire and lightstone, the spear in Ling Cao's hand was too late to draw back.

With a soft pop, Ling Cao's spear happened to stab Wen Ping's chest. Wen Ping was rushing forward at this time, and he didn't use the strong spear to pierce Wen Ping.

Ling Cao was stunned for a while, lying on the ground, looking at Wen Ping who had been pierced by himself in disbelief.

"Why?"

"I hope that the general will keep his promise and put the soldiers under his command a way out!" Wen Ping said with a pale face, and then spurted out a large mouthful of blood with a pop.

Ling Cao held the spear in his hand, and it was not to put it down, nor was it to pull it out. Standing up, he took half a step towards Wen Ping, and said softly: "General Wen Ping, do you have a last word?" ”

"If so... If you can, please... Please take care of the general... Under the wife and children two points. ”

Wen Ping chuckled and said with a little pleading: "In the afterlife... The afterlife is certain... The grass will surely bear fruit... Eternally grateful! ”

After that, Wen Ping revealed that he sank and lost his breath.

"General!"

"General!"

The remnants of more than a thousand remnants of Wen Ping roared miserably, and rushed towards Wen Ping's corpse. Adjutant General Ling Cao frowned slightly, raised his hand, and ordered the army to surround the remnants of Wenpin again.

"Ding!"

Deputy General Wen Ping threw down his weapon, took off his armor again, knelt on one knee, and shouted with tears in his eyes: "Please have mercy on the general, let the villain collect the general's body!" ”

Immediately afterwards, the adjutant general of more than 1,000 remnants of the army took action, threw down their weapons one after another, took off their armor, and knelt on one knee and shouted in unison: "Please have mercy on the general!" ”

Ling Cao looked at the remnants of the more than a thousand remnants with a complicated face, gently pulled the spear out of Wen Ping's chest, sighed slightly, and rode back into the army, while waving his hand to let his army regroup.

"General Xie!" The adjutant general shouted, strode up, came to Wen Ping's side, and carefully hugged Wen Ping. More than 1,000 remnants of the army followed, clustered behind the adjutant general.

The deputy general turned around and looked at Ling Cao heavily, with gratitude, resentment, helplessness, and relief.

"Don't worry, the villain will disband the army immediately, and only a team will be arranged to send the general's bones home."

Ling Cao looked at Wen Ping's deputy general and nodded slightly, his expression full of admiration and regret for Wen Ping.

The smoke of gunpowder on the Yangtze River stopped temporarily, but Ling Cao's army went out again, which made the hearts of the local people tense again, and they didn't know where Wu's army would go.

Ling Cao led the army without the slightest stop, while going against the trend of the army, while letting the army repair, and raided towards Jiangling.

At this time, thousands of Wu elites of Huarong Dao, under the leadership of Wu General Xu Sheng, successfully raided Huarong, and in one night, Huarong County had changed its owner.

The water and land sides are attacked, making it difficult for Kuailiang, who is holding on to Gangneung, to make a strategy. As early as after receiving the news of Wenpin's death, Kuai Liang sent scouts to ask for help from the Taishou stationed in Jiangzhou. At the same time, he ordered Li Yan to gather troops from Lankou and raid Jiangxia Jingling, hoping to besiege Wei and save Zhao.

It's just that what Kuai Liang didn't expect was that before Li Yanbu could send a reply, Jiangling was under the strong attack of Ling Cao and Xu Sheng, and failed to hold out for two days before he was defeated.

In desperation, Kuai Liang had to lead the army in Jiangling City to retreat to the county seat of Yidao (now Yichang, Yidu). As for the Lei Bo Department of Xiaoling, after learning that Jiangling was lost, he panicked and raised troops to the north, wanting to rush to the aid of Jiangling.

Halfway through, he was defeated and fled by the ambush soldiers arranged by Ling Cao.

After Lei Bo sent troops, Xiaoling was also occupied by a small group of soldiers and horses arranged by Ling Cao. In desperation, Lei Bo had to retreat west between Danyangju and Zhushan in the south of Yidao, relying on the advantage of the mountains, and dealing with Ling Cao's subordinates.

"General Kuai, a letter from the lord."

Kuai Liang took the edict from Xishu and slowly opened it to read it.

There was a bit of anger in Kuai Liang's expression, if it weren't for the fact that there were still subordinates in the government, Kuai Liang would probably be so angry that he would have smashed the book in his hand.

Kuai Liang waved his hand with a dark face, signaling everyone in the government to go out.

After everyone left, Kuai Liang really smashed the book to pieces, and said to himself fiercely: "Lord, don't let the Jingbei family chill their hearts!" ”

The letterhead from Liu Bei was also simple. Naturally, Liu Bei's lament for Wen Ping's death was mentioned in his heart, but he ordered Kuai Liang not to let Li Yan take any more risks.

Li Yan, the word is square. Although they are also from Nanyang, when Liu Zhang was in power, Li Yan had already been reused by Liu Zhang and became an important minister in Yizhou. When Liu Bei entered Yizhou, Li Yan was the most supportive person, and now among Liu Bei's forces, he is the most important minister among the important ministers, except for Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu, no one can stand out from him.

Feeling sorry for the important ministers, Kuai Liang can naturally understand, but the words in Liu Bei's heart don't seem to attach importance to the local family in Jingzhou, which makes Kuai Liang angry.

They are all fighting on the front line, and they are also born and died for Liu Bei, why should they be treated so differently?

Kuai Liang angrily smashed things in the palace, so angry that his hair stood on end.

After a long time, Kuai Liang calmed down the anger in his heart and kept walking back and forth in the mansion.

It seems that he has to think about it for the Jingzhou family, Kuai Liang's expression flickered, and he even looked in the direction of Yizhou a little fiercely.
