Chapter 386: A Happy Ending
The sudden arrival of cavalry made Zhang Fei think that he was late in retreating, so that Lu Su's reinforcements went around his rear, forming a state of flanking and attacking.
But after waiting for a while, Zhang Fei realized that the number of cavalry in this team was only a few dozen, and it was going straight to the direction where Zhang Fei's handsome banner was.
Sure enough, the dozens of school swordsmen came all the way to the place where Zhang Fei was, and after seeing Zhang Fei just now, he didn't care about getting off his horse and saluting, and said hurriedly: "After these few days of hard fighting, Zhuge and General Yunchang have defeated Sun Quan, and the soldiers are directly aimed at Jianye, and the entire territory of Jiangdong is almost at your fingertips, General Yide doesn't have to hold on here, quickly follow us to Jiangdong to build a defense line!" ”
This short sentence sounded like a sound of heaven in Zhang Fei's ears, which was exactly the result he was waiting for these days, he knew that if this result was one day later, they would fall into a disadvantage in the race against Jingzhou's time, once Jiangxia fell into the hands of Lu Su Zhuge Liang still failed to win in Jiangdong, then the situation would be complicated, if Lu Su took this opportunity to continue to move forward, it would never be the result that Zhuge Liang wanted.
"This is the time to wait!" Zhang Fei, who was already very depressed and annoyed, finally swept away the stuffiness in his chest at this time, answered loudly, and then issued an order to withdraw to the generals under his command.
I saw that after Zhang Fei gave an order, the Jiangxia defenders, who were still very hard to resist the offensive of the Jingzhou Water Army, suddenly retreated back like a tide, which made the Jingzhou Water Army, who had enough strength to fight with them in the dark, a little at a loss for a while.
Such an idea naturally appeared in the minds of Huang Gai and Gan Ning, who led the army this time, but the two had already been ordered by Zhou Yu, and naturally they knew what it meant for the army to retreat at this time, and there was a look of disappointment on their faces, they originally wanted to completely defeat Zhang Fei in one go, and then led the army to skip Jiangxia and approach Jiangdong, so as to be able to show the divine power of the Jingzhou naval army, but obviously, this goal can no longer be achieved, But this means that Jiangxia, a county with a pivotal position in Jingzhou, was finally included in Liu Feng's territory after going through ups and downs.
This also means that in the rich and vast land of Jingzhou, except for Nanyang, a small county separated from Xiangyang, most of the area has been completely controlled by Liu Feng. If Liu Feng and Cao Zhi's respective territories are marked on the map, you will find that the territory occupied by Liu Feng gradually formed a trend of encirclement of Cao Zhi's territory, and this is also the strategy that Liu Feng wants to implement against Cao Zhi.
Zhang Fei led the thousands of remnants of his stubborn resistance and retreated to Jiangdong in an instant, while Huang Gai and Gan Ning led Jingzhou's naval army into Jiangxia's county, Xiakou.
The capture of Jiangxia this time is just a supplement to Liu Feng's land, but for the Jingzhou navy, it is like a piece of fat that has been staring at it and finally eating it in the mouth, the land of Jiangxia is an excellent place to practice the navy, but it has been controlled by Guan Yu all these years, and most of the sailors under Zhuge Liang who captured Jiangdong were trained in the rivers of Jiangxia, and the navy of Jingzhou saw that this close training place could not be used. And they can only retreat to the second best thing to train in Nanhai County, which belongs to Jiaozhou, which made Huang Gai and others hold their breath in their hearts for a long time, and finally today, they know that they will no longer have to shrink in Nanhai County in the future, and Jiang Xia will be surnamed Liu from today onwards.
On this day, Lu Su's seizure of Jiangxia for Liu Feng was just a small wave, because in addition, in the land of the east, there is something that can be called a monstrous wave, that is, Sun Quan, who has been in Jiangdong for three generations, was still unable to keep the inheritance left to him by his father and brother, and was defeated in the final battle with Zhuge Liang, and the result of the defeat was naturally that the last few important places in Jiangdong were taken away by Zhuge Liang.
Such a battle has made a lot of changes in the situation on the land of the Central Plains again, and the four major forces left before are now gone, and they were destroyed by Zhuge Liang, who was originally the least optimistic, which has to make many talented people in the Central Plains feel that Zhuge Liang is a person with a promising future, at least as the opponent of Cao Zhi and Liu Feng, Zhuge Liang is more qualified than Sun Quan.
Although the results of this battle spread all over the world overnight, but what method did Zhuge Liang use to break through the impregnable Poyang and Wu County in less than ten days, but no one knew, and Sun Quan and his Lu Meng, Lu Xun, the three most important people in Jiangdong, did not become Zhuge Liang's prisoners, but after this battle, it was as if they disappeared on the Central Plains, no one knew where they went, people just saw that the old ministers of Jiangdong all retreated to the mountains and forests, The rest almost worshiped under Zhuge Liang, plus the remaining soldiers in Jingzhou after the war, Zhuge Liang gained a lot in this battle.
Yizhou, Chengdu.
"Congratulations to the lord, winning Jiangxia, the land of Jingzhou, and finally all fell into the hands of the lord, with Jingzhou and Yizhou in hand, all the land of the Central Plains can be expected!" A few days later, in the Chengdu court, the exact news was finally delivered to Liu Feng and his ministers, and after learning that Lu Su pulled out his teeth in this battle and took the opportunity to take Jiangxia, everyone was full of praise for Lu Su.
For this matter, Liu Feng did not break it, but praised Lu Su above the court, and added Lu Su and Huang Gai, Gan Ning and other officials to the knighthood to show his importance to the people who surrendered to Jiangdong.
While the ministers congratulated Liu Feng, very few people saw Liu Feng's absent-mindedness, and no one noticed that Ma Chao, who was extremely important in Chengdu and commanded all the cavalry in Shuzhong, had not appeared in the court for nearly 20 days. Regarding the proposals put forward by many advisers that Zhuge Liang should be sent to exterminate him when his foothold was not stable, Liu Feng temporarily pressed it, saying that the time was not yet ripe, and then hurriedly let everyone disperse.
As soon as the matter in the court here was over, Liu Feng summoned Wei Yan to the mansion and asked in a low voice, "Did the Feiyu Wei who went to pick up General Meng Qi have any news?" ”
