Liu Qi led the army to pass through Huarong Dao, and after coming to the riverside, he did not stop for a moment, and immediately ordered Wei Yanxian to lead his army to cross the river overnight and go to Zuotang County on the opposite bank, and take the opportunity to set up a camp and make defensive arrangements to prevent the defenders of Wuling County on the opposite bank from sneaking in by half-crossing.

Wei Yan received the order and ordered the soldiers who were skilled in the navy to cross the river first, as the vanguard, he knew that he had a heavy responsibility, so he was cautious and cautious along the way, and he was even ready to sacrifice.

But this way across the river is extremely smooth and smooth, and after coming to the other side, they found that their worries were a little redundant, because Zhang Xian focused his defense on Jiangxia guarded by Huangzu opposite Changsha, and laid down a bag of heavy troops in Shaxian, and the defense force in Wuling was concentrated in Xiaoling, and there were only five hundred people at most in the Tang Dynasty, and these Xiangyong did not realize that seeing Wei Yan's army would attack here, because Huarong Dao on the opposite side was a well-known dangerous place, and no one would leave a good place not to go, I just have to take the impassable Huarong Road.

And these villagers even believe that no one will choose to cross the river overnight, because the danger of doing so is too great. What's more, they had already discovered that before sunset today, Liu Qi, the main general of Jingzhou, led a large army to the ferry near Jiangling, where he was preparing to lead his army across the river.

It is for these reasons. All of the 500 villagers fell asleep in their tents a few miles away from the river, and the whole tent was deserted, and there was not even a single one on night duty.

After Wei Yan crossed the river, he saw the stars and lights not far ahead at a glance, and judged that there must be a camp tent here, so he immediately led an army of 10,000 to outflank him, surrounded all the villagers in the tent, and then kicked open the camp gate, captured all those villagers, and did not even escape.

The leader of Xiangyong is a military marquis named Wei Ran, when he saw the divine soldiers descending from the sky, he was already frightened, where did he dare to resist? Soon the truth of Wuling was clearly explained.

At this time, Wei Yan learned that there were 5,000 troops stationed in Xiaoling, and the garrison general was Jin Yi, the son of Jin Xuan, the Taishou of Wuling. This army was defending Xiaoling along the river, and had no idea that Liu Qi's army would cross the river from Huarong.

Wei Yan was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately ordered the military marquis Wei Shan to lead 5,000 troops to guard Zuotang, quickly set up camp, and raised fire to the other side of the river to inform Liu Qi that the follow-up army would cross the river, but he personally led the elite, advanced lightly, and rushed to Xiaoling overnight.

When Wei Yan's army felt that the tomb was in the tomb, the sky was already dark, the sergeants who were keeping vigil were too tired, but the other soldiers were still resting, and it was the time when the whole army was most on guard. Wei Yan immediately ordered the army to attack, and ordered his own soldiers to shout: "Wuling City has been broken, Taishou Jinxuan has been captured by our general, and the garrison of Xiaoling should not resist needlessly, and surrender quickly." ”

Jin Yi's Xiaoling army suddenly encountered an attack, and they all panicked and organized resistance in a panic, but because the target of their defense was on the water, they did not deploy any defense on the shore at all.

Jin Yi was frightened and hurriedly prepared to surrender, at this time, a young scribe under Jin Yi persuaded him: "The general is not like this, we are now fighting against the water, we must fight to the death, although the thieves are powerful, they may not be able to win." ”

Jin Yi sighed: "Although Chengming's words are reasonable, it's a pity that my father has been held by thieves, and once he resists, he will inevitably fall into his father's injustice, so I don't dare not surrender." It's just that I really regret that I shouldn't have listened to your advice and sent troops to garrison Zuo Tang. ”

The scribe persuaded again: "Wuling City is high and deep, how can the thieves and soldiers be eager to attack it?" This must be a thief's plan, and the general must not be trusted. ”

Jin Yi shook his hand and said, "Chengming doesn't need to say it anymore, I have made up my mind on this matter." With that, he ordered the scribes to tie himself up and ordered all the soldiers to give up their resistance.

The scribe was helpless, sighed, and had no choice but to obey.

At this moment, Wei Yan had already broken into the Chinese military tent, and when he saw that the other party's main general tied his arms and asked to surrender, he naturally laughed and ordered someone to escort Jin Yi down.

Jin Yi sighed and asked slowly, "May I ask the general, I don't know where my father Jin Xuan is?" ”

Wei Yan was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Are you the son of Wuling Taishou Jinxuan?" This is really good, as long as we have you, our army will definitely be able to take Wuling lightly. ”

Only then did Jin Yi know that the scribe's judgment just now was completely correct, he glanced at the other party, sighed and said: "Shicai Chengming persuaded me to fight to the death, regretting not listening to the public's words, so that Yi was ashamed today." ”

Wei Yan was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked the scribe's name, but heard the scribe say: "My name is Pan Jun, also known as Jun, the word Chengming, and the Wuling Hanshou people." ”

Wei Yan was surprised and said, "If this person listens to Mr. 's words, it will be difficult for me to win this battle." ”

After finishing speaking, he personally untied Pan Jun, invited him to the seat, and said respectfully: "The last general's name is Wei Yan, the character is long, and he is from Nanyang Yiyang." Sir should also understand that my husband's son Liu Qi led a large army to conquer Jingnan, but it was really because Changsha Zhang Xian plunged the four counties into war for his own selfishness, and asked Mr. to read it for the sake of the people of the county and help me. ”

Seeing that Wei Yan was so sincere and respectful, Pan Jun sighed and surrendered.

Wei Yan was overjoyed and immediately worshiped Pan Jun as the Sima of the Left Army.

"Now that Wuling City is high and deep, I don't know why the general taught me?" Wei Yan arched his hand and asked sincerely.

Pan Jun said slowly: "The general can change into the armor of the army, still under the banner of the banner son Jin Yi, and open the city gate at night in the name of the loss of Xiaoling, then Jin Xuan can be captured." However, please also ask the general to read that Jin Xuan is the last general, and the Jin father and son were also coerced by Zhang Xian, so they had no choice but to rebel and spare his father and son's lives. ”

Wei Yan said respectfully: "Since Mr. said so, Yan dares to disobey his fate?" So he ordered the army to change into the armor of the army, wait for the arrival of Liu Qi's army, and prepare to open the gate of Wuling at night.

However, it was said that Liu Qi was waiting for the news of Wei Yan crossing the river in Huarong, and it took a long time to see the fire on the other side, and hurriedly ordered Xu Shu, Sima Zhi and Pei Qian to lead the soldiers under his command to cross the river one after another, and he finally crossed the river at the same time as Yu Ban's 5,000 people.

Not to mention that after Xu Shu came to the other side, he praised Wei Yan for seizing the fighter, and was worried that he was too risky, so he immediately led the army with Sima Zhi to support. It is said that Liu Qi crossed the river in the forbidden army, and came to the center of the river in less than half an hour, at this time the sky was already bright, Liu Qi was waving the army in a hurry, but suddenly saw a fleet in front of him, hanging a brocade sail on the main ship, a big man laughed and said: "There is an official ship in front, this is a good time for my Jinfan army to make a fortune, brothers, quickly start grabbing a ticket, the big ship in the middle makes our most important target, everyone robbed the ship and left immediately." ”

After finishing speaking, I saw a naval army of about 1,000 people roaring up and approaching Liu Qi's main ship.

Although there are many sergeants on Liu Qi's boat, most of them are infantry, and few of them are proficient in water warfare, even if they grew up at the water's edge, they are all proficient in water, but because they do not have special naval equipment, they can't help but be dwarfed in the face of the opponent's well-trained thousands of sailors. What's more, in order to facilitate the crossing of the river, Liu Qi's fleet was almost lined up in a straight line, and there was no time to rescue in a short time.

Seeing this situation, Wang Cang, who was beside Liu Qi, couldn't help but change his complexion, and shouted: "Bold thief, do you know whose fleet this is?" Are you waiting for you to come and plunder? ”

The big man laughed and said, "Lao Tzu was born to do these things of robbing houses and houses, who do you care?" Let's tell the truth today, even if Lord Jingzhou Mu came in person, my Jinfan thief Gan Ning still rubbed some oil out of him. ”

At this time, Liu Qi said calmly: "Is it Linjiang Ganxingba? ”

The big man said, "Exactly, I didn't expect you to know my name." ”

Liu Qi said with a smile: "I have a jar of good wine here, I wonder if Xingba is willing to drink with me?" ”

The man was stunned for a moment, and sneered randomly: "You don't come to this with Lao Tzu, who doesn't know that you are nominally inviting me to drink, but in fact you want to harm Lao Tzu?" That kid, since you know the name of Grandpa Gan Xingba, come over and surrender quickly, and you will be spared death. ”

Liu Qi's figure didn't move for half a minute, and said with a faint smile: "The name of Linjiang Ganxingba can be described as thunderous, Ben Jiang naturally knows, but Ben Jiang doesn't know your name, what is the purpose of you hiding your head and showing your tail, and deliberately using other people's names?" Let's be honest! ”

The man was stunned, and laughed randomly: "Lao Tzu doesn't change his name, he doesn't change his surname, it's the Jinfan thief Gan Xingba, how do you say I'm a fake?" Hehe, I understand, are you afraid that your soldiers will be afraid to hear my name, so you deliberately said that I am not Gan Ning, yes and no? ”

Liu Qi sneered: "First of all, although Gan Ning's team was called a Jinfan thief, he never shouted like this. Second, Gan Xingba is heroic and righteous, as long as others treat him with courtesy, he will inevitably have fellowship with all his heart, but Your Excellency does not have his pride. The third and most important one, I will hear that Gan Xingba has read a lot, and he will never be full of foul language like you, without any cultivation. Haven't you revealed your identity yet? Do you have to say it after being caught, after being tortured by the general? ”

Before the man could speak, he heard a heroic voice not far away: "Haha, the eldest prince of Jingzhou is really my Gan Ning's confidant, I don't know where the robber came from?" It turned out to be Jiangxia Zhang Hu, I didn't expect you, a thief, to dare to destroy my reputation as a thief, so I left to see how powerful my Jinfan Army is. ”

After finishing speaking, as soon as he blew the trumpet, he saw hundreds of large and small ships rushing behind him and chasing Zhang Hu's fleet.

Zhang Hu's face changed drastically, and he immediately led the fleet to flee.

Soon after, Zhang Yun got the news, saying that Zhang Hu was scared away by Gan Ning, and immediately became furious, smashed the exquisite books and ceramic table tennis on the case, and scolded: "Jinfan thief Gan Ning, dare to destroy the good deeds of the general, but let you fall into the hands of the general one day, you will definitely let you survive and not die, this Zhang Hu is also a waste, so many people, so many boats, I am afraid of Gan Ning, a thief!" Liu Qi'er picked up another life, how can I explain to my uncle? ”

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Yun said: "Call me the Huo brothers in Zhijiang, I am going to send reinforcements to the eldest prince this time, hehe, the open gun is easy to dodge and the dark arrow is difficult to prevent, this time I see you can still escape?" ”
