Chapter 546: Red Cliff Seven
Early in the morning, Gangneung City.
The genius is bright, the sun has not yet come out, layers of cold fog shrouded the heaven and the earth, red background and black letters, pointing to the Wu State battle flag with the word "Taishi", setting up major city gates, fluttering in the wind.
Above the city, a burly young man on the majestic shore, with his hands on his back, stood on the top of the city, robed and hunting, and looked into the distance.
He is Sun Ce's confidant general, and it is impossible for him to betray Sun Ce, but Sun Quan can trust him so much.
Tai Shi Ci's heart was a little complicated.
At this moment, what he was thinking about was not only the situation of the Chibi War, but also the situation in the territory of Wu State, and the news of Sun Ce's ascension to the throne had not come for a long time, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Why?
Why don't you take the throne?
Sun Quan was not there, and Tai Shici believed that there was nothing in Jinling City that could stop Sun Ce from ascending to the throne of the Great Treasure of the State of Wu, but the State of Wu was always ownerless.
"Junhou, what are you thinking?"
Tai Shi Ci's eyes were deep, and a cold light crossed it.
"General Taishi!" At this time, an elegant young man walked up to the city on foot, bowed to Tai Shici's back, and bowed.
"Han Ding!"
Hearing this, Tai Shi Ci came back to his senses, turned his head, looked at the person who came, smiled slightly, beckoned, and said, "It's just right to come, this general has something to discuss with you in his heart!" ”
Under his command are cavalry, with strong mobility and quick comings and goings, so they can easily break through the Chu army's defense line, bypass the pass of Huarong Road at the fastest speed, and appear in front of Jiangling City.
But the siege of the city is not the direction that the cavalry under his command is good at, Tai Shici thought that this was a bloody battle, and he had already done a good job of giving up the cavalry advantage.
At this time, Han Ding appeared.
Tai Shi Ci was able to take the fortified Gangneung City so quickly, all thanks to the elegant young man in front of him.
Han Ding, a native of Changsha. In the first year of Chuping, he was a pawn of the Jiangdong Army under Sun Jian, and he escaped death in the first battle of Bishui Pass, and after that, he was selected by Sun Quan and became the first batch of Jinyi Guards.
His mission was to break into Jingzhou and become Liu Biao's henchman.
Han Ding was originally from Jingzhou. It was not difficult to break into the Jingzhou forces, and Jingzhou was a little chaotic at that time.
Over the years, Han Ding has been relying on his own talents, with the help of Jin Yiwei, constantly climbing up, and even did not hesitate to become the son-in-law of Jingxiang's powerful Fan family. finally got Liu Biao's trust.
He is one of the strongest shadows of Jinyiwei.
Before the war in Chibi, Liu Biao stored the grain, grass and weapons of more than 100,000 troops in Jiangling City as the granary of the Battle of Chibi.
Liu Biao can become the overlord of one party, naturally he is not an ordinary person, he will not despise the safety of the granary, so he not only let Chen Zhi and Kuai Tian each lead 3,000 troops to guard Jiangling, but also sent his henchman Han Ding with 1,000 soldiers. As a grain road supervisor.
Tai Shi Ci attacked Jiangling at night, and it was Han Ding who put down the suspension bridge. opened the city gate, and the inside and outside should be combined, so that he could take Jiangling in one fell swoop with lightning speed, kill Kuantian, and defeat Chen Dao.
"General Taishi, please speak!"
Han Ding was less than thirty years old. has an elegant temperament, although he is dressed as a general, but he is more like a civil official than a military general, and when he heard Tai Shici's words, he naturally bowed down.
"The situation of Huarong Road. Do you know? Tai Shici's gaze crossed with a cold glint and asked.
"Huarong Dao is a retreat left by Liu Biao for himself."
When Han Ding heard this, he thought about it, and after half a ring, he said carefully: "The general guarding Huarong Dao is Liu Biao's nephew, Liu Pan, this person is considered brave, and the troops under his command are not weak, Huarong Dao is surrounded by water on all sides, which is not conducive to cavalry combat, and when he goes ashore, it is extended in all directions, and he can't stop the direction!" ”
"If you get in, can you bring so-and-so in?" Tai Shi Ci groaned for a long time, his face crossed a trace of ruthlessness, he was bold and artistic, as long as he entered the barracks, he would be able to respond inside and out, and break through Huarong Dao in one fell swoop.
After all, he is a super fierce general who has trained his spirit, and one person can be worth a thousand troops.
"Liu Pan's son is more arrogant and domineering, in the past, under Liu Biao, I had a few unpleasant troubles with him, he has never liked a certain family, and now the situation in Jiangling must have been reported to him by his scouts, even if he doesn't know the identity of a certain family, he will not let a certain enter the camp, he will only announce his personal vendetta, and shoot him directly with arrows!"
Han Ding shook his head and explained softly.
"That's a pity!" When Tai Shi Ci heard this, he sighed slightly, and said: "Once Jiangling City is lost, the Chu army will inevitably be unstable, Liu Biao will be defeated, Huarong Dao has become his last life-saving talisman, if he escapes the pursuit of the prince, after Huarong Dao, not only can he lead to Jiangling, but he can also go straight to Changbanpo and return to Nanjun!" ”
If Jiangling City is a safe rear, then Huarong Road is a nail that cannot be ignored, this turning pass, located in the center, extending in all directions, can be reached from the south to the north.
"General Taishi, you can rest assured at this point!" When Han Ding heard this, he smiled and said, "I hope he can escape along the Changban Slope, you know, now the Changban Slope is in our hands!" ”
"What do you mean?" Tai Shi Ci was slightly surprised, hasn't Lu Bu been in Nanyang all the time, so Changbanpo shouldn't be in the hands of Wu Jun.
"This is the news I got from Jinyiwei's secret channel!"
Han Ding took out a small note from his belt and handed it to Tai Shici, which clearly stated that the current Changban Slope was guarded by Chen Wu, a general under Lu Bu.
"Hasn't Lu Bu been in Nanyang all the time?" Tai Shi Ci looked at it, raised his eyebrows, the rise of Lu Bu in Nanyang invigorated the entire Wu army, and when the news came back, Wancheng was defeated, and Zhang Xiu was almost killed by him.
Under the First World War, the power of the tiger and the state became famous in Jingzhou.
"Lu Bu is not only a fierce general, but also a handsome talent, at the beginning they not only went north to attack the enemy, but also divided their troops to the south, Chen Wu has already occupied Changban Slope very early!" Han Ding said: "Changban Slope is now being dug and dammed by Chen Wu during this time, and it is constantly reinforced, even if it is a rare fortress, tens of thousands of troops cannot break it, and the news that came yesterday that after Lu Bu laid the victory of Nanyang, he has led his troops south!" ”
"Haha, good!"
Tai Shi Ci heard this. His eyes lit up, he laughed, and said, "Lu Bu came in time this time, this time, it can be said that it is difficult for the Chu army to fly with wings!" ”
Caught in the front and back, the Chu army only had the share of dumplings.
"General Taishi. You're laughing too soon! Han Ding shook his head, his eyes were regretful, and there was a bitter smile on his face, and said: "If you want to count on Lu Bu, I'm afraid this is hopeless, the reason why Lu Bu gave up Nanyang and went south to Xiangyang was because a cavalry suddenly entered Nanjun and threatened Xiangyang." In order to ensure the capture of Xiangyang, he hurriedly went south! ”
"Who?"
Tai Shici's eyes widened.
Liu Biao has exhausted his strength, all his troops are in Chibi, who else in Jingzhou can have cavalry, and he will be caught off guard by killing them.
"Xiliang Iron Ride!"
Han Ding's eyes moved slightly, his eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and he said coldly: "The leading general, Ma Chao, the prince of Liangguo." He held the covenant between the state of Chu and the state of Liang and rescued Xiangyang City. The division is famous, all the way south, as fast as thunder! ”
"Ryokoku?" When Tai Shi Ci heard this, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and the corners of his mouth curled up with a sneer, and said, "We, Wu Guo, don't provoke him." They actually came to look for death, they didn't know whether they were alive or dead, they dared to compete with our Wu country, and sooner or later, a certain family would personally return to Chang'an one day! ”
Tai Shici, a founding general, had a high sense of belonging to Wu. Wu is strong, the southern expedition and the northern expedition, opening up the territory, everything, only Wu has dared to provoke other vassal states, and now there are people who dare to provoke Wu.
I guess I'm impatient!
"Lu Bu is what we can't point to!" Han Ding raised his head, looked at the sky and showed a corner of the rising sun, and said in a low voice: "It's dawn, the news of Chibi, the prince will launch the final assault on the Chu State today, the victory or defeat is in this battle, we need to be prepared!" ”
"Although Lu Bu can't point it, isn't Chen Wu still in Changban Slope, if Changban Slope is blocked, he should be able to stop Liu Biao!" Tai Shi Ci thought about it and was a little unwilling.
"Not necessarily!"
When Han Ding heard this, he shook his head and said: "Changbanpo is not their only way, there is also a Wuling as their retreat, I am afraid that they will go the opposite way, go south from Huarong Road instead of north, borrow Wuling, and enter Shuchuan!" ”
As soon as the Chu army was defeated, there was no place for them in Jingzhou, so they were left with only one place to flee, Shu.
Entering the Shu Kingdom, Wuling is the only way to go.
"Wuling!"
Tai Shi Ci thought for a while and said: "Han Ding, this way, you go to Changban Slope in person to assist Chen Wu, if Liu Biao goes north, he must stop it, the grain and grass in Jiangling City have now been burned, it doesn't matter whether it is defended here or not, a certain family is a cavalry, it is too wasteful to defend the city, and now a certain will lead his troops south to block Wuling!" ”
——————————————————————————————
Nanyang, on the shore of thorny water.
Under the fluttering of the battle flags of the Wu State, more than a dozen rows of long dragon-like teams, one after another, Wu soldiers quickly crossed the river using pontoon bridges.
They couldn't find many boats in a short time, but fortunately, the pontoon bridge technology of Wu was relatively advanced and strong, and the thorny river was not wide, even if the cavalry could pass through the front.
Under the battle flag of Lu Zi, the burly and majestic body of the coach Lu Bu rode a red rabbit BMW, standing at the head of the bridge, his eyes looked at the soldiers who kept crossing the river, and there was a trace of unwillingness.
However, he had to say a sentence with regret in his heart: the plan is not as good as the change.
"General, it's really a pity that we give up Wancheng like this!" The vanguard general Dong Xi rode back from the front, stood beside Lu Bu, gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice.
The results of the battle in Nanyang have exceeded their imagination, they just wanted to teach Zhang Xiu a lesson before, so that he did not dare to go south, but they went crazy when they fought.
Lu Bu personally attacked, three strikes at the head of the city, this battle was fought, not just a lesson to Zhang Xiu, but directly beat Zhang Xiu and fled, and finally even Wancheng, a Nanyang strong city, was taken.
In the face of such a strong morale of the right army, Lu Bu put his heart sideways, and wanted to encroach on the entire territory of Nanyang step by step, and now that the victory of Chibi is in sight, he naturally wants to get a complete Jingzhou, which is regarded as his report card for going out of the mountain again.
It's a pity that the sudden Xiliang Iron Cavalry went all the way from Sili to Nanyang, along the official road on the west side, avoiding his eyeline, all the way south, and was discovered by Jinyiwei when he arrived in Nanxiang, which directly caught him off guard.
If it weren't for Jinyiwei's quick discovery, I'm afraid that Xiliang Tie would have hit Xiangyang, and he would have been stupid to attack the city in Nanyang.
Although Xiangyang City is now in his own bag, it has always maintained a state of siege but not attack, if the Xiliang Iron Cavalry suddenly appears, and Liu Qi in the city should be combined with the outside, Lu Meng's soldiers and horses will definitely be hit hard.
The most important thing is that Xiangyang City is the capital of Chu, and the significance of the representation is not comparable to Nanyang County, once Xiangyang is recaptured by the Xiliang soldiers, it will have an impact on the entire Chibi battle situation.
Xiangyang must not be lost.
As a last resort, Lu Bu could only give up Wancheng, which he had in hand, and lead his troops to the south.
"In the Yuan Dynasty, compared to Wancheng, Xiangyang is more important!"
Lu Bu raised his head, his eyes narrowed, the halberd in his hand crossed a touch of coldness, turned his head, looked at the famous Nanyang Mountain looming in the distance, his eyes were resolute, and he said lightly: "Don't worry, we will come back sooner or later!" ”
"Hmm!"
Hearing this, Dong Xi nodded heavily, now he is happy and convinced of Lu Bu, the main general, he used to only hear his name, but now that he is fighting side by side, he really discovers the meaning of the world's number one general.
Lu Bu, who was born on the battlefield, has a strong appeal and courage as long as he is on the battlefield.
"Liangguo's Xiliang Iron Cavalry came too fast, and it didn't give a certain family time to react at all, and now it is estimated that it has marched to Zhuyang, if we can't rush back, Lu Meng's soldiers and horses will face the soldiers of Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and we will suffer a big loss!"
Lu Bu looked at the soldiers crossing the river, thought about it, rode out of the horse, rushed to the pontoon bridge, and said: "Yuan Dynasty, you are supervising the battle in the back, and a certain family will lead the cavalry to take the first step and go south to rescue." ”
"No!"
Dong Xi nodded. (To be continued......)
