In the eighth year of the Warring States period, January 15.

Morning.

In the misty sky, Sun Quan led the main force of the Wu army and entered the camp of Bashang.

The main force of the Wu army took the gallop road to the east, entered Lantian from Shangluo, and then arrived at the camp of Bashang from Lantian, and joined Zhao Yun's soldiers and horses, across the Bashui, corresponding to Chang'an City in the distance.

Because of the massacre in Lu City, they walked smoothly on the road behind, and those Guanzhong families were shocked and did not make trouble.

Therefore they must have planned to enter the camp one day earlier.

Zhao Yun personally led the troops out of the camp to respond, when all the soldiers and horses gathered in the Bashang camp, the Wu army began to count, and after counting, the faces of the generals became more and more ugly.

The Wu army had about 80,000 elite cavalry marching north, from Chang'an to Luoyang, and suffered heavy casualties in repeated bloody battles from Luoyang back to Chang'an.

Now, even if the wounded soldiers admit defeat, there are only more than 58,000 left, which means that the Wu army has more than 23,000 casualties.

That is to say, the loss of troops is almost a third.

This huge casualty made every general feel as if he was depressed by this stone, and the most important thing was that the general of Great Wu, Gan Ning, died in Chang'an.

This news is like a basin of cold water that has poured the generals of the Wu army into a cold heart.

Midday.

Dominate the camp.

The main account of the Chinese army, the main general of the Wu army, gathered.

Sun Quan was wearing battle armor and a battle helmet, he wanted to accompany the long sword, half sitting on the first place, his handsome face was gloomy and could drip water, his turquoise eyes were full of cold killing intent, and the aura emanating from his body was like cold ice.

"Ma Mengqi!" His undisguised killing intent spread throughout the camp.

"Your Majesty, the last general is guilty, as a subordinate of General Gan Ning, he failed to protect General Gan Ning and escaped without permission. Please also ask Your Majesty to punish the crime! ”

Chang Zheng had gauze tied to his head, blood was still seeping, his eyes were moist and red, his arms and waists were tied with layers of gauze, and he knelt on his knees in front of the camp and pleaded guilty.

He was the deputy general who assisted Gan Ning in guarding Chang'an City. Now that Chang'an City has been lost, the main general Gan Ning died in battle, but one of his lieutenants has survived, no matter what the reason, as a soldier, his heart is full of shame.

"You're not doing anything wrong, go down!"

Hearing this, Sun Quan raised his head and glanced at him. He took a deep breath, calmed down, and said lightly: "You take good care of your injuries, this battle is not over yet, I don't want one more wounded soldier who can't move when we break through!" ”

Gan Ning's death in battle was like a hammer on the tip of his heart.

He had to admit one thing, and when he decided to go north to assault, he had already prepared for it. If you are going to die in battle, General Wei can be killed. Wu will also be sacrificed.

But when Sun Quan heard the news of Gan Ning's death, he still couldn't bear it in his heart.

Gan Ning, the rear general of Da Wu, entered the top ten in the military ranking, one of the giants of the navy, and was ranked as the general of the military aircraft department. No matter which title he held, he was very important in the Great Wu Dynasty.

He is still young, and now he is only in his early thirties, and Sun Quan has always trained him as a naval commander, although now the navy is dominated by General Wei Zhou Tai. But in Sun Quan's heart, Gan Ning is the real naval commander.

But because of his insistence on the war, he buried his bones in Chang'an City.

Sun Quan still clearly remembers that he went to Chaisang in person and recruited him back from Liu Biao's side.

Could it really be true that the old saying that the general will inevitably die in battle.

Wrath?

Sadness?

Sun Quan just felt that his emotions were very uncomfortable, and his internal organs seemed to be screwed together.

But Sun Quan knew very well in his heart that this was what he had to bear.

At this moment, he can't even have the heart to avenge Gan Ning, because now he still has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses on his shoulders, and he can't make a mistake.

"No!"

Chang Zheng wiped his moist eyes, his expression became resolute, he stood up, and said firmly to Sun Quan: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Chang Zheng is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, I am willing to break through the vanguard army, please fulfill Your Majesty!" ”

"You take care of your injuries first!"

Sun Quan glanced at him, and he was still very impressed with Chang Zheng, this was the proud cavalry of Sun Ce's cavalry strategic inheritance.

"No!"

Chang Zheng withdrew from the camp.

There was a hint of oppressive atmosphere in the silent camp, Lu Bu, Sun Ce, Zhao Yun, Chen Dao, and several people looked at each other, without saying a word, with cold expressions.

"General Gan Ning's death has disrupted our previous plan, and now we have to reformulate a breakthrough plan!"

Sun Quan gritted his teeth, forcibly calmed his mood, swept his gaze, and said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, this matter can't just be left at that!"

Lu Bu suddenly stood up: "General Gan Ning can't die in vain, blood debts must be paid in blood, General Gan Ning is the general of Great Wu, he can't die in Chang'an in vain, the last general is willing to be the vanguard, raise 30,000 troops, capture Chang'an within three days, behead Ma Chao, and pay tribute to the heroic soul of General Gan Ning!" ”

"Your Majesty, General Lu is right, no matter what, no matter what the cost, we must take down Ma Chao!"

Sun Ce's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth in response.

Gan Ning, as the first general to die in battle, is regarded as the hatred of the Great Wu military, and the hearts of all the generals are uncomfortable, and they become a little indignant between the words.

"Shut up!"

When Sun Quan heard this, his expression suddenly became cold, his eyes sharpened, and he swept along the faces, and suddenly the entire Chinese army camp became silent.

He stood up, pointed his finger at the generals, and said coldly: "Do you think you are a lightless little soldier? Say to fight, say desperate, do you forget who you are, now for us, what is the most important thing, wait for one by one, as the main general, shouldering the lives of tens of millions of soldiers, do you still want to be angry? ”

Didn't he Sun Quan want to kill Ma Chao?

From the news of Gan Ning's death in battle reached his ears, he had already set Ma Chao to death in his heart, and no one could save him.

But not right now.

Now they can only do one thing, and that is to take the soldiers under their command out of the customs at the minimum cost.

Guanzhong belongs to the hinterland of the Great Wei Dynasty, and stay in Guanzhong for one more day. Their tens of thousands of troops are more dangerous, and if the main force of the Wei army is completely surrounded and dominates the battalion, they will have nothing to do but wait for death.

At this time, anything can be put down.

"With the current strength of the Liang army in Chang'an City, don't say that I will give you 30,000. Even if I give you all my soldiers and horses, you can't beat them in three days, thirty days, if the generals of Dawu are such brainless horsemen, I might as well behead you directly, and you in the province will harm the lives of Dawu soldiers, if you can't be sober, just think about what environment we are in now, think about our tens of thousands of children. Now that the lives of these sons and daughters are in our hands, who will let the eyes blinded by anger jump into the water to wake up! ”

Sun Quan was originally angry, and now he is just venting it, of course, his anger is not directed at them, but just for them to bear.

"Your Majesty, you dissipate your anger first!"

Zhao Yun looked at Sun Quan, who was flushed with anger, and hurriedly stood up, he knew very well in his heart that no one was more angry than Sun Quan for Gan Ning's death. Then he said in a deep voice: "General Lu and General Sun, they are just complaining about General Gan Ning, and Ma Chao beheaded my General Wu." He must die, I only hate that I didn't leave him in the battle yesterday, but please rest assured, your majesty, although we are angry, we are the generals who lead the army, and we know what is most important. We know very well that the breakthrough is the first priority! ”

"Your Majesty is angry!"

The crowd was scolded by Sun Quan angrily, and immediately calmed down and hurriedly calmed Sun Quan's angry mood.

Sun Quan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed his mood, and calmed down. shouted: "From now on, the others will be put aside, and the future will be long, now let's discuss how to leave Guanzhong and go south to Hanzhong at the lowest cost!" ”

"Yes!"

The generals nodded.

"Map!"

"In!"

Lei Ding, who was standing in Sun Quan, took a few personal soldiers and hung a detailed marching map with a screen.

"How much grain and grass do we have now?"

Sun Quan looked at the map and asked a question first.

"Your Majesty, part of the grain we captured from Chang'an before was transported to Bashang, plus dry food, it should take five days!"

Zhao Yun replied.

"That is, within five days, we must leave Guanzhong, because from now on, we will definitely be cleared by the Wei army, and we will not get any urgency!"

When they went north, they fought suddenly, and the Wei army had no defense, and they were able to capture grain, but now the Wei army was well prepared and would not leave them a single grain.

"Your Majesty, after Chang'an City is blocked, there are two roads for us to go south, one is to take Wuguan!"

Chen Zhi thought about it, took the lead in standing up, and pointed to the screen map: "From Wuguan, we can go south to Nanyang, and enter Jingzhou from Nanyang, Jingzhou has troops to contain the Wei army, as long as we can successfully pass Wuguan, we will have the opportunity to go out!" ：

"Wuguan will definitely not be able to get out!"

Sun Quan shook his head, he followed Chen Zhi's gesture, pointed to the location of Wuguan, and said: "This is a hard pass, with the top-secret news from Jinyiwei, now Hu Che'er, a subordinate of Zhang Xiu of the Wei army, has led 10,000 troops, guarding here, with a force to guard it, our troops are all suppressed, and we can't beat it for a month or two!" ”

"Then we only have one road in Chang'an City!"

Lu Bu's eyes widened.

"No!"

Sun Quan shook his head, and his eyes burst with a gleam: "Actually, we still have a road, a dangerous road, a dangerous road of nine deaths and a lifetime!" ”

"Your Majesty, do you want to take Xiliang?"

Zhao Yun looked at the marching map, and when he looked at the position where Sun Quan's gesture fell, his face changed slightly, and he gasped.

The main force of the Wei army is now in Xiliang, isn't this equivalent to a hard encounter?

"Chang'an City has been lost, Wuguan can't go, in fact, we have nothing else, even if we want to retreat from the Meridian Road, there must be no hope, Guo Jia can't let our troops bypass the south of the city, as for fighting Chang'an, we don't have this time!"

Sun Quan's expression became resolute, and his voice was resolute: "Since this is the case, let's gamble our lives, the main force of the Wei army is indeed in Xiliang, but they definitely wouldn't have thought that we would go to Xiliang!" ”

"That way, we can really catch them off guard!"

Sun Ce's eyes lit up, and he nodded and said.

"After taking them by surprise first, as long as the main force follows the right wind, you can go south from Wudu to Yizhou!"

Lu Bu's spirit became invigorated: "The troops guarding Wudu are Ma Dai and Zhang Ren, they have had a certain amount of dirt before, even if they are on the same front now, they will not be in unison, it is best to fight!" ”

"Best of all, we have reinforcements!"

Sun Quan continued to add, it can be regarded as giving them a little confidence, this battle is dangerous, if you don't give them a little confidence, it is not easy to fight.

"Reinforcements?"

When the generals heard this, they were immediately a little puzzled.

"It's a reinforcement they didn't expect!"

Sun Quan squinted slightly, and the corners of his mouth outlined a sneer: "This time, I not only want to break through from Xiliang, but also turn Xiliang upside down!" ”

"Report!"

"Come in!"

"Your Majesty, the scouts have just discovered that traces of the Wei cavalry have been found in Zheng County, the banner is the Wei Army Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and the general is 'Cao' and 'Dian'"

The scouts rushed in and bowed their heads.

"Zheng County, it's too fast!" Sun Quan's face changed slightly: "Zheng County is less than a hundred miles away from Bashang, and it will take half a day at most to kill Bashang, we entered the Bashang camp with our front foot, and they appeared on the back foot, why is it so fast?" ”

"Your Majesty, don't forget, we were intercepted by the Guanzhong family along the way, and they must have been assisted by the Guanzhong family, it is not surprising that they caught up!" Chen Zhi said analytically.

"Your Majesty, the tiger and leopard riders may not have the ability to stop us, but with the combat power of the tiger and leopard riders, once they are stalked, they will definitely be able to entangle us, they should want to drag us down at this time, so they will not rest, and they will attack soon!"

Sun Ce frowned and said, "We don't have time!" ”

"There's no time!"

Sun Quan's fists clenched slightly, his heart was ruthless, and he decided to break through the tactics and began to order: "Pull out the camp overnight tonight, I need someone to lure the enemy and buy time!" ”

"Your Majesty, give me three thousand white horses, and I'll lure the enemy!" Zhao Yun asked for battle.

"Your Majesty, I'll come!"

Sun Ce also asked for battle, and he said loudly: "The main force is going west, I will lead three thousand overlord iron cavalry, and lure the tiger and leopard cavalry south to Chang'an City, on the one hand, so that they can think that we will break through from Chang'an, and on the other hand, gain time!" ”

"No, I've already lost a favorite general, I can't take such a risk!"

Sun Quan looked at the two generals and said, "The two of you together, with the strength of the two of you, as long as you join forces, even if you are besieged by tiger and leopard riders, you can join forces to break through!" ”

"No!"

Zhao Yun and Sun Ce glanced at each other and nodded.

"Lu Bu!"

"In!"

"In this battle, you are the vanguard, whether I can go south or not depends on whether you can open the way, as long as the fight starts, don't hide it, just fight it, there is a way to block me, and there is no mercy!"

Sun Quan's voice filled this boundless killing: "If there is no road, we will make a road, and whoever dares to block us from going south, then crush the past!" ”

"No!"

Lu Bu's tall body slowly stood up, his calm voice erupted with a thick battle intent, and the whole person had an indomitable momentum. (To be continued.) )
