Chapter 1662: Ice Release Suspicion
After all, the Jiangdong army was far less numerous than the Cao army, and after a battle, they gradually showed a momentum of decline.
Some Jiangdong troops rushed left and right in an attempt to escape from the battlefield, but were stopped by Cao's army.
More and more Jiangdong troops were surrounded and annihilated by Cao's army.
Lu Xun led a small number of men and horses to break through and evacuate.
After a battle with Gao Ran and Wen Chou, Ling Tong had lost much strength.
Surrounded by a group of Cao troops, although he was fighting hard, he was never able to fight out of the battle group.
Hordes of Cao troops rushed up, and Ling Tong almost fell into despair, and rushed over on a fast horse.
Gan Ning on horseback was already covered in blood, and when he killed next to Ling Tong, he roared: "General Ling, go quickly!" ”
Gan Ning arrived, and fought his way out of the same way with Ling.
Rushing out of Cao Jun's defense, Ling Tong glanced back and didn't say anything to Gan Ning.
The dozens of Jiangdong troops who had escaped gathered by the two of them withdrew all the way to the south.
After a battle, most of the 6,000 Jiangdong troops were annihilated, and a small number fled.
Sima Yi looked coldly at the soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield, and did not give the order to continue advancing.
"General Sima, we have won." Coming to Sima Yi's side, Yan Liang said: "It's just a pity that not a single enemy general was captured. ”
"General Yan really thinks we've won?" Sima Yi asked him.
"Is it hard or lost?" Sima Yi said: "Our army has killed many enemy troops, and this time the Jiangdong army is even more vigorous. ”
"But their purpose was achieved." Sima Yi said: "At this time, even if we pursue, it is impossible to chase Zhou Gongjin, this battle is a victory in our opinion, and it is also a victory in the eyes of the Jiangdong Army." ”
"Then ...... we," Yan Liang asked Sima Yi in surprise.
"We can say that we are defeated." Sima Yi said: "Good Lu Boyan, when you meet this person in the future, you really have to be more careful." ”
Lu Xun, who was the first to evacuate, ran wildly for more than ten miles, and then sent two soldiers to turn back to find Ling Tong and Gan Ning.
And Gan Ning and Ling Tong withdrew from the battlefield and galloped for several miles, and when they looked back and saw that there was no Cao Jun chasing them, they also slowed down.
Ling Tong turned over and dismounted, half-knelt in front of Gan Ning and said, "Thank you General Gan for saving your life." ”
Gan Ning also hurriedly dismounted, helped Ling Tong up, and said to him, "Why is General Ling like this? You and I both work for the Jiangdong Sun family, if I am under siege, General Ling will definitely risk death to save me. ”
His words made Ling Tong feel guilty immediately.
Back then, Ling Cao crusaded against Huang Zu and was shot by Gan Ning, who was still loyal to Huang Zu, with an arrow.
After Gan Ning joined Jiangdong, Ling Tong was thinking about killing him all the time.
Unexpectedly, now it was Gan Ning who rescued him from the chaos......
The father's revenge was not avenged, but he was saved by the enemy......
With a long sigh, Ling Tong said: "General Gan is high-minded, it is because I used to be narrow-minded and regarded the general as an enemy. From now on, I would like to have a neck with the general, and I hope the general will not give up! ”
Ling Tong was able to give up his father's enmity and resolve all the grudges with Gan Ning, Gan Ning's heart was also wide, and he held his hands and said: "General Ling doesn't give up, how dare I disobey?" ”
The two men clasped hands tightly and rode up to them.
The cavalryman, whose armor was torn and very embarrassed, saluted the two and said, "General Ling, General Gan, and Captain Lu are waiting in front. ”
"Let's go!" Holding Gan Ning's hand, Ling Tong said, "Brother Gan, please!" ”
"General Ling, please!" Gan Ning and he humbled each other.
The two stared at each other, and then both laughed.
Although this battle was lost, the grudge between the two was resolved, and there was no estrangement between each other, but for them, it was like a victory.
Under the guidance of the newspaper cavalry, Ling Tong and Gan Ning met Lu Xun.
The two were riding horses, still holding hands, and they seemed to be very close.
Seeing this scene, Lu Xun was at a loss and asked them, "What ......are the two generals?"
"Captain Lu." Ling Tong said to him: "I want to marry General Gan as a brother of the opposite sex, I wonder if the captain can be a witness." ”
Ling Tong suddenly proposed to become brothers of the opposite sex, Gan Ning was stunned for a moment, and then said: "General Meng Ling will not give up, from today on, you and I are brothers!" ”
"General Gan is a few years older than me, and he will be my eldest brother from now on." Holding Gan Ning's hands tightly, Ling Tong said.
Looking at the greasy and crooked appearance of the two of them, Lu Xun asked in surprise: "The two generals were not ...... before?" How can this be ......?"
"Don't mention the earlier things, from now on, whoever embarrasses my brother will embarrass me." Ling Tong said: "Even if I die, I will never let my brother suffer the slightest grievance. ”
"Since my brother is willing to call me brother, how can there be any reason for you to stand in the way?" Gan Ning said: "From now on, if my brother has something, I will bear it!" ”
If you were someone else, you would definitely be confused by the two of them, and you couldn't figure out why there was such a big change.
After all, Lu Xun is not an ordinary person.
Looking at the crooked appearance of the two of them, he somewhat understood some of the situation.
"Since the two generals are willing to turn the war into a jade silk, why am I unwilling to be a Chinese witness?" Lu Xun said: "It's just that I have a humble status, and I'm afraid I have insulted the two generals." Wouldn't it be better to invite the two generals to get on their horses and meet the Grand Governor or the Marquis of Wu, and ask them to testify for the two generals? ”
Gan Ning and Ling Tong glanced at each other, and Ling Tong asked, "What does my brother think?" ”
"I don't think Captain Lu has any status." Gan Ning said: "But what Captain Lu said is also reasonable, it is better to wait until you meet Wu Hou or the Metropolitan Governor to bow and bow, it is also more solemn." ”
"I listen to my brother." Ling Tong responded, and then asked Lu Xun: "Dare to ask Captain Lu, what should we do next?" ”
"The Metropolitan Governor has left, and I heard that Wu Hou has also gone to Jiaozhi." Lu Xun said: "It may be difficult to follow their footsteps. It is better for us to go directly to Jiaozhi to avoid the pursuit of Cao's army, or to make peace with Wu Hou and Dadu. ”
"That's what Captain Lu said." Gan Ning and Ling Tong both responded.
Lu Xun turned his head and instructed the soldiers on the side: "Order everyone, go to Jiaozhi immediately." ”
With a few hundred people, Lu Xun, Gan Ning, and Ling Tong rushed to the direction of Jiaozhi.
And Sima Yi and others, after cleaning up the battlefield, escorted the captives back to Wu County.
At the same time, Jiangxia on the north bank of the Yangtze River.
Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang took advantage of the absence of the Cao family's army to lead their soldiers and horses to leave Jiangxia and quietly march to the southwest.
Along the way, Liu Bei was worried.
From time to time, he looked to the sides, fearing that Cao Jun would suddenly appear.
"Don't worry, lord." Seeing Liu Bei's thoughts, Zhuge Liang said: "Cao Cao also went to Wu County, and now the Cao family is very empty in Jingzhou, and there is no power to stop our army." ”
