Chapter 61: The Burning of Chibi
Jiangdong camp, after the news of Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's death came, Zhou Yu couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said to Sun Ce: "As soon as these two people die, I'm afraid the morale of the Jingzhou Navy will be even more low, but it is difficult to fight with our army with that Gan Ning alone!" ”
Sun Ce nodded when he heard this: "That Jinfan thief has some skills, I don't want Ye Zhao to have such a good general in water warfare!" But that's the case, how can Gong Jin attack the thief camp? ”
"Lord, Governor, that Jiang Gan is here again, and he has been taken down by the soldiers of our army!" Lu Meng strode in and bowed to the two of them.
"This matter should be done by this person." When Zhou Yu heard this, he looked at Sun Ce with a smile and said, "If the last general wants to ask the lord for someone, he may suffer some flesh and skin!" ”
"Who?"
"Zhou Tai!"
"Zhou Tai?" Sun Ce hesitated for a moment, then said to Zhou Yu, "How do you use him?" ”
"Zhou Tai was born as a water bandit, and he has always had a dislike for me, so he just used him to play a bitter trick to make Zhou Tai deceive Ye Zhao." Zhou Yu said with a smile.
Fraud?
When Sun Ce heard this, he nodded silently, if he wanted to let the fireboat approach Ye Zhao's camp, this was a good way, of course, provided that this bitter meat plan could succeed.
When Zhou Yu went to see Jiang Gan, Sun Ce summoned Zhou Tai to discuss the matter with him.
Three days later, Jiang Gan lobbied Zhou Tai and Kan Ze respectively, and only after the two of them surrendered the book did they return to Ye Zhao's camp and handed Ye Zhao a letter of surrender, although they could not say that Zhou Yu was surrendered, it was also a good thing that Zhou Tai and Kan Ze, two generals of Wen Yiwu, defected, but did not agree on a date, which made Ye Zhao's Chinese martial arts question.
Kan Ze came in person, and was impassioned in front of Ye Zhao, saying that he didn't convince Ye Zhao not to know, but at this time, many civil and military forces under Ye Zhao's command were moved, and Ye Zhao also believed Kan Ze and sent him back in person.
The time has entered October, the weather is starting to turn cold, and the matter of the army turning into a naval army still seems to have a long way to go.
On this day, Ye Zhao was drinking and feasting with everyone in the camp, and suddenly someone came to report that Mr. Feng Yan, a famous man from Jingxiang, came to vote.
Hearing this, Ye Zhao rubbed his temples and nodded to invite him in.
People are really ugly, anyway, after Ye Zhao saw Pang Tong, he didn't have much appetite.
"I've heard the name of the phoenix chick for a long time, and when I see it today, I was born out of phase." Ye Zhao motioned to the maid to pour a glass of wine for Pang Tong and said with a smile: "I don't know if Mr. is here to vote at this time, but there is a clever plan to teach him?" ”
"I don't dare to do it." Pang Tong shook a pu fan, in the winter, Ye Zhao didn't know what this person thought, anyway, he looked very strange, and said to Ye Zhao with a smile: "It's just the land of Jingxiang, the war has been raging for a long time, and Tongshi can't bear to suffer from the disaster of the war anymore, so I came to offer a plan, hoping to contribute to the prime minister, and let this land of Jingxiang enjoy peace and not be affected by the disaster of swords!" ”
"I don't know what Shi Yuan's plan is, let's talk about it quickly!" Ye Zhao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he smiled at Pang Tong.
"This is called the Iron Rope Hengjiang!" Pang Tong smiled and pulled out the saber at his waist.
"Presumptuous!" This move immediately made the surrounding generals stand up, and Dian Wei stepped forward and protected Ye Zhao.
"What is a wire rope across the river?" Ye Zhao waved his hand to signal everyone not to be excited, he had been fighting in the north and south for many years, and if he wanted to assassinate a literati like Pang Tong, it would be a joke.
Pang Tong saluted Ye Zhao, put the sword in his hand between the two tables, and smiled at Ye Zhao: "You can connect the boats under the command of the city with iron cables and wooden planks, or five ships in a column, or ten ships in a column, in this way, the river is vast, and the soldiers under the command of the prime minister can also walk on the ground!" ”
When Ye Zhao heard this, he glanced at Guo Jia, stroked his palm and smiled: "Brilliant plan!" Mr. is worthy of being a genius, and this is the only way to solve the problem of annoyance and loneliness for many days! Well, if you win this battle, Mr. should take the first credit. ”
"Don't dare, it's enough to do a little bit for the people of the world, and don't dare to ask for extravagant rewards." When Pang Tong heard this, he hurriedly shook his head and said, "There are still mundane things in the future, so I will leave first." ”
"No hurry!" Ye Zhao stretched out his hand and stopped: "Mr. Yaliang, but under the rule of Lone, meritorious service will be rewarded and punished, Mr. has made such a great contribution, if he does not add a reward, wouldn't it be self-defeating?" First of all, Mr. Grievance will serve as the chief bookkeeper under the lonely door, and after the battle is completed, the reward will be awarded! ”
After speaking, he didn't let Pang Tong say any more, he just persuaded Pang Tong to drink, and Pang Tong was also afraid that the incident would be exposed, so he could only agree to come down for the time being, and then think of a way to get out in the future.
Now it's winter, it's blowing the northwest wind, whether it's a celestial phenomenon or really the east wind borrowed by Zhuge Liang, Ye Zhao didn't care, and the next day he trained the boat into a piece according to Pang Tong's plan, and the iron cable crossed the river, looking at it from a distance, it was quite spectacular.
After another month, when it entered November, Zhou Tai finally sent someone to agree on the date of surrender, and three days later, at night, Zhou Tai would lead his troops to vote.
"Zhao Yun, Hua Xiong, Gan Ning, Huang Zhong, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Ji Ling, Zhang Ren, Zhang Liao, and Wei Yan listen to orders!" After Ye Zhao sent away the envoy sent by Zhou Tai, he quickly summoned a group of generals under his account.
"I wonder what is the important matter of the sudden convening of the lord?" Everyone looked at Ye Zhao suspiciously.
"From now on, you will be dispatched by Fengxiao, how to act, Fengxiao is responsible, and the order of Fengxiao is my order, and there must be no violation!" Ye Zhao said solemnly.
Although the generals had doubts, they saw Ye Zhao's rare solemnity, so they didn't dare to say more, and they responded one after another.
Ye Zhao handed a golden order to Guo Jia and said with a smile: "Three days later, whether this battle can end depends on Fengxiao." ”
"Don't worry, lord!" Guo Jia received the order, and ordered Gan Ning and Huang Zhong to lead the people and horses of the headquarters to go to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River in a small boat to Yunmengze and the like, and agreed that as long as they saw the fire on this side, they did not need to return to help, and directly attacked the Jiangdong Daying Water Village, and then two days, they secretly transferred the army, and by the evening of the third day, only the Jingzhou Navy was left in the entire Yunmengze camp.
These dispatches, although they can hide Zhou Yu, who can't see the truth and reality, can't hide Pang Tong, who is in the army, after seeing Ye Zhao's deployment, Pang Tong hurriedly wanted to leave, but was stopped by Dian Wei.
"Mr. Pang, the Lord has an order, there will be a big event tonight, no one is allowed to move without permission, and those who violate the order will ...... Chop! Dian Wei looked at Pang Tong expressionlessly, and said calmly.
Pang Tong was stared at by Dian Wei and did not dare to force it, so he could only be broken back into the camp and think of countermeasures.
It's a pity that Ye Zhao seems to have known his intentions, and he didn't give him any chance to communicate with the outside world at all, and even went to the toilet, accompanied by Dian Wei and several guards, until nightfall, Pang Tong didn't find a chance to contact the outside world.
In the evening, under the leadership of Dian Wei, he came to Ye Zhao's side.
"There will be a good show tonight, I want to invite Mr. to watch it!" Ye Zhao looked at Pang Tong and said with a smile.
Pang Tong looked around, the elite of Guanzhong who used to have a neat military appearance was no longer there, and almost all around him were the weak Jingzhou naval army, and a chill suddenly arose in his heart.
After nightfall, on the horizontal line in the distance, a fleet of ships with the banner of Zhou Tai appeared in sight, Ye Zhao turned his head and smiled at several Jingzhou generals beside him: "This must be Zhou Tai's surrender army, after letting him enter the camp, call him to see me!" ”
"Whoa!" Several naval generals bowed down to answer the order, and Ye Zhao took Pang Tong straight to the back camp.
"Boom~"
After a while, a fire broke out in the direction of the front camp, and it happened that the wind direction suddenly turned to the east wind at this time, and the fire borrowed the wind, and countless rockets came downwind, enveloping most of the water village.
Ye Zhao stood up, looked at Pang Tong, who was pale, and said with a smile: "Sir's plan has been accomplished, why is it still so gloomy, smile." ”
Pang Tong swallowed a mouthful of saliva dryly, looked at Ye Zhao, and said astringently: "The prime minister's poisonous methods, these 100,000 Jingxiang water troops will be wiped out because of the prime minister's thoughts, how can the prime minister bear it?" ”
"Is there something wrong with sir?" Ye Zhao looked at Pang Tong, his smile remained the same, but there was a little chill in his laughter: "If it weren't for Mr. 's plan, how could they be like this?" How can this sin be imposed on me? ”
"Let's go." Looking at Pang Tong, who was lost and depressed, the fire in the distance had spread towards this side, and countless shouts and killings were also spreading towards this side, Ye Zhao stood up and sneered: "Don't think that if you have some talent, you can play the heroes of the world in applause, there is a reason why you have not tasted defeat in the Lonely South and Northern War for 20 years!" ”
Pang Tong, under the escort of Dian Wei, followed Ye Zhao and his guards to quickly leave the water village and go straight to Xiangyang, at the same time, the Jiangdong Navy also took advantage of the fire to kill the case, chasing the rout of the Jingzhou army all over the mountains, at the same time, Liu Bei's Jiangxia army rushed to Jiangling as soon as he saw the fire here, wanting to seize territory.
It's just that when Liu Beijun arrived, he was faced with Zhang Liao, who had already been ready, and at the same time, the main force of Jiangdong led by Sun Ce encountered the siege of Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, Zhang He, and Zhang Ren.
The Jiangdong Navy is a dragon on the water, but on this land, in the face of the prepared Guanzhong soldiers, just a charge, the morale of the Jiangdong Army was shattered, Zhou Tai was killed by Zhao Yun with a shot to protect Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce led the army to fight their way out of a bloody way, and fled back to the camp, but they met Huang Zhong and Gan Ning, Sun Ce was beheaded by Huang Zhong under the knife, but Zhou Yu was captured by Gan Ning.
Also on this day, Guan Hai, who was far away in the Guangling garrison, led the air force to fly across the Yangtze River, covered the landing of Ding Li and Fang Yue, and after killing Jiang Qin, the defender of Qu'a, he broke the enemy camp and attacked Wu County.
In just a few days, Wu Jun, Yuzhang, Danyang, and Huiji quickly fell under the ferocious offensive of Ye Zhao's army, Liu Bei's army was defeated in Jiangling, Jiangxia was also broken by Huaxiong and Ji Ling, and Zhuge Liang was captured by Huaxiong.
In this battle, the main force of the Jiangdong Army and the Jingzhou Army were all destroyed, but Ye Zhao's Northern Army was not damaged at all, and took the opportunity to attack Jiangdong, and Xuzhou's Ding Li, Fang Yue's east and west attack, annihilating Liu Bei and Jiangdong Sun, at the end of November, Sun Quan led the Sun family and Jiangdong gentry to surrender, but also represented the complete return of the world to unification, Liu Bei died in the battle of Jiangling, Zhang Fei was nowhere to be found, Tai'an eight years (AD 210), Ye Zhao in Jiangdong, Jingzhou after the stabilization, only to return to the dynasty.
