In October, the sky is high and crisp.

Tancheng, also known as Tan County.

This is the city of Donghai County, in 221 B.C., Qin Shi Huang 26 years, set up the county, originally belonged to Tan County, later belonged to Donghai County, the Western Han Dynasty Emperor Gao five years, for the Donghai County governance.

This time, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of Wu and Wei fought in chaos throughout Donghai County, and the staggered defense line raged in the thirteen counties of Donghai, and none of them failed.

Tancheng, as the seat of governance in the East China Sea, is also the most critical city, first by Xu Sheng led the troops to the east and broken, and then was led by Le Jin Wei soldiers and stormed, and later by Li Nie's Wu reinforcements counterattack, several battles down, inside and outside the city, a bleak scene.

War can make people fearful, the people are at home, dare not go out, shops do not dare to carry out, the streets and alleys are now only the patrols of Wu Guo's soldiers are constantly moving.

County office, lobby.

Sun Quan's tall body sat on top of the head, his expression was a little gloomy, the generals Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Gan Ning and others all sat on the left side, while Li Nie, Pang Tong, Zhuge Jin and others sat on the right side.

The battle of Xuzhou has ended, three days ago, Cao Cao led the Wei army to completely withdraw from the East China Sea, and now the East China Sea completely belongs to the Wu State.

He was listening to Zhuge Jin report on the results of this battle.

"Junhou, I'm waiting for 80,000 soldiers to come!"

"In the first battle of Wuyuan, Pang Junshi broke through the siege, 1,821 soldiers were killed, and later in the battle of defending the city, 4,331 soldiers were killed."

"Liangwu, General Xu Lie's 2,800 soldiers, all of them died in battle for General Huang Zhong to break away."

"In the first battle of the plains, our army died eight thousand two hundred and twelve!"

"The Battle of Lanling. General Gan Ning died three thousand two hundred! ”

"Governor Li counterattacked Tancheng and killed 1,300 in battle!"

Every word and every sound of Zhuge Jin seemed to be knocking on Sun Quan's heart, this was the first time he had such a big casualty.

More than 20,000 soldiers were killed in the battle. What a number is this.

20,000 ants can kill him, and 20,000 lives are lost in such an ordinary battle.

"Ziyu, do the rest of the things well, be careful and careful, and there must be no mistakes." Sun Quan's face was expressionless. A deep voice said: "Also, the East China Sea is already our Wu Kingdom, they sacrificed to seize the East China Sea, and a monument was erected to them on the battlefield of Wuyuan and the Plains, I want the world to remember them!" ”

"No!"

Zhuge Jin nodded.

"Gan Ning. Do you know what is wrong? At this time, Li Ne suddenly stood up, staring at the silent Gan Ning with a fierce light in his eyes.

"The prince believed in you, handed over the 40,000 generals to your command, and handed over his rear to you, but you let the Wei army break the defense line and lead the prince to be surrounded. Almost all wiped out! ”

He has always been haunted by Gan Ningdao's distress and Sun Quan's distress.

Several generals around Gan Ning, Xu Sheng, Pan Zhang, and Gan Ning fought side by side, and they formed a lot of feelings and wanted to speak for Gan Ning. But I don't know where to start.

In this battle, Sun Quan was besieged and killed, and Gan Ning did have an unshirkable responsibility.

"Junhou, Gan Ning is willing to accept the guilt!"

Gan Ning stood up, and then walked out calmly, expressionless. Untie the sword from your waist and kneel down on one knee. Facing Sun Quan, he arched his hand.

His task was to guard Lanling. It was not his fault that the Wei army divided his troops to the south, but Sun Quan gave him his back because he had absolute trust in him, and he did not protect it well, which was his fault.

The battle was so fierce, and more than 20,000 soldiers were sacrificed, which made him feel ashamed.

Especially because he was hit by Guo Fengxiao's voice in the east, he lost the city of Tancheng, Sun Quan's back road was blocked, and he was besieged in Wuyuan, so he had to fight and almost died, and he blamed himself.

He had to bear the sin as well.

"Xingba!"

Sun Quan's expression was gloomy, he stood up, walked up, and picked up Gan Ning's matching sword, the three-foot Qingfeng, suddenly unsheathed, and the cold light flickered.

This battle is not Gan Ning's fault, it is his fault, his expectations for Gan Ning are too high, Gan Ning is indeed handsome, but after all, he commanded 40,000 soldiers for the first time, and he was inexperienced, and he was exploited by Guo Jia, which is understandable.

His eyes moved slightly, the corners of his mouth outlined a smile, looked at Gan Ning, and asked, "How do you feel about this battle!" ”

"Depressed!"

Gan Ning raised his head, glanced at Sun Quan, gritted his teeth, and spit out two words.

He was really depressed in this battle, if it was to fight with Xiahou Dun in a formation, he was not afraid at all, and he still had the upper hand, but in a few battles in a row, from Lanling to Sifang Mountain, and then to the fierce battle of Xiangben, he was played by Guo Fengxiao.

He seemed to clench his fists but always seemed to hit a punch of cotton, powerful but unable to use it, and never able to grasp Guo Jia's thoughts.

"Junhou, this battle was a certain underestimation of Guo Fengxiao and Xiahou Dian, so when he knew that he was fooled, he did not calm down, but chose to attack in a hurry, and the guide was finally led away by him in the whole battle, this is a certain mistake!"

Gan Ning said truthfully.

"Very good, you know how to reflect, this battle is actually not your fault, the task I gave you, you completed it very well, did not let people cross Lanling City one step, Lanling's offensive and defensive battles are also methodical and good, but you are the main general of the army, the rear Tancheng was broken through, and the friendly troops were encircled, this is your responsibility.

Gan Ning, you must know that this is no longer a bandit's nest, but the Wu ** team, there are naturally rules in the army, and nothing can be broken! ”

Hearing this, Sun Quan's eyes burst out with a gleam, and he suddenly swung his long sword, and the sharp blade gently slashed across Gan Ning's head...... A strand of hair.

"This strand of hair but I teach you a lesson, remember it, I don't want you to have the next chance to ask me for sin!"

Sun Quan turned his head, looked at Zhuge Jin, and said without hesitation: "Ziyu, inform the whole army: the negligence of the main general Gan Ning, the battle is in crisis, and tens of thousands of soldiers in Wuyuan are killed, he cannot escape the blame. ”

"No!"

Zhuge Jin trembled slightly when he heard this. glanced at Gan Ning, and in his view, this punishment was a bit heavy, and if it was not allowed to be promoted for three years, it would be equivalent to shelving. If you are silent, if you are an ordinary person, I am afraid that it will be a lifetime.

"Gan Ning, thank you for your love!"

When Gan Ning heard this, there was a look of gratitude in his heart, and he was already convinced by Sun Quan, and bowed his head.

Sun Quan gently returned the sword into the sheath and looked at Gan Ning. Said: "Xingba, there are always victorious generals in this world, but there are no undefeated generals, you can lose, but if you lose twice in the same place." That's not defeat, that's stupid, it's just not worthy of being the master, understand? ”

"The last general understands!"

Gan Ning's eyes crossed a cold glow, he would not give Guo Fengxiao a second chance.

In the matter of Gan Ning, Li Nie didn't plan to let them go like this, and directly pulled Pang Tong out to talk about it.

Pang Tong calmly accepted Li Nie's words, if he hadn't paid attention to Li Nie before. Then the battle commanded by Li Nie convinced him sincerely, and in his opinion, Li Nie's tactics and strategy. All are absolutely top notch, above and beyond him.

The master is the teacher, and Li Nie taught him that there is nothing wrong with it.

"Lao Li, why did Lu Bu surrender so quickly?"

Sun Quan looked at Li Ne's constant bombardment, and also knew that he was annoyed that he took the risk of attacking. Fighting cattle across the mountain, I guess I'm talking about myself. Quickly diverted the topic and asked.

The Battle of Xiapi ended a little too quickly. Not only did Cao Cao not react, but even he was taken aback.

Lu Bu was not surprised that this person would surrender, and he expected it, but now that he had been besieged for less than a month, he actually surrendered.

This is somewhat unexpected.

After all, Lu Bu is not an ordinary person, he has his arrogance, he also wants to be a slave with three surnames, but he is definitely not a soft bone, this is a tiger that swept through Mobei, even if he surrenders, it is not so easy.

"In the downhill battle, our Jinyi Wei did something tricky, so the king quickly attacked the inner city and forced Lu Bu to surrender!"

When Li Ne heard this, he sat down, took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and smiled faintly.

In the downhill battle, it took him three days to figure out the ins and outs of this battle.

"Jin Yiwei?"

When Sun Quan heard this, he raised his eyebrows.

"Jinyiwei does have a plan to help in the battle of Xiapi, but now there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in Xiapi, so I don't expect this plan to succeed too much, I just hope that the icing on the cake can give the king a hand."

A bright smile appeared on Li Ne's face, and said: "But Tao Ying, who carried out the plan, gave me a surprise, and actually made the plan go smoothly, and the effect was multiplied, not only took the West Gate in one fell swoop, let the Wu army drive straight in, but also let the people in the city raise their hands to greet him, Lu Bu was suddenly taken by surprise, and he himself was probably also willing to surrender, so this battle was not fought at all, and it ended at a speed that we didn't expect." ”

"Tao Ying?"

When Sun Quan heard this, he laughed a little.

He didn't expect that the key to this battle was Tao Ying, Tao Qian had been dead for a while, and the lights went out, but he didn't expect the Tao family to have such a big reputation.

The Tao brothers took refuge in Jiangdong, which he personally agreed, the Tao family was originally a scholar family, although now it is in trouble, but the reputation is not weak, the pottery merchant ability is not much, but the victory is obedient, and he is safe and guarded, and Tao Ying is brave and extraordinary, and he chose to join the army, and he is also a rising star in Wu.

"This is a certain neglect, a miscalculation of the response of the Tao brothers in Xiapi."

Li Nie sighed softly and said: "I have to say that although Tao Qian is not an outstanding prince, he still does a good job in managing Picheng and is very popular, so even if Tao Qian has been dead for a few years, he still retains a reputation, and whether it is Liu Bei or Lu Bu now, he is already unpopular, and the generals of Wu Guo are coming to the city, Tao Ying stands up directly, and naturally responds." ”

"That's good, too!"

Sun Quan smiled slightly, and said: "The battle of Xiapi can end quickly, that is, the pattern of Xuzhou that has been laid, Wei State has Taishan, Langya, Pengcheng, and our Wu State has obtained Guangling in Xiapi Donghai, which is considered to have their own gains, but Cao Mengde is going to be depressed this time!" ”

Although Mount Tai does not belong to the jurisdiction of Xuzhou, but belongs to the territory of Lu rather than Wei, it is guarded by Zang Ba, one of Lu Bu's eight strong generals, and now Tibetan hegemony surrenders to Wei, and Mount Tai is also taken back by Wei.

Xiahou was defeated in the East China Sea, led his troops straight to Langya, Wei won Langya County, Cao Cao retreated to the East China Sea and went south, naturally holding Pengcheng and naturally controlling Pengcheng.

Taishan Pengcheng and Langya were won by Wei, and Wu naturally couldn't make a move, otherwise it would directly cause a full-scale decisive battle between the two countries.

Now is certainly not the time for a decisive battle.

"But Cao Cao retreated in such a hurry, I don't really want his style!" Sun Quan squinted, a little puzzled.

Cao Cao will naturally withdraw from the army, but with their methods, they can get more benefits if they drag it out, so why not.

However, on the second day of Cao Cao's defeat, the East China Sea, which was directly withdrawn, the main force went south, faster than a rabbit.

"Naturally, I have something to ask for!"

Li Nie's eyes moved slightly, and he analyzed in a low voice: "Since he can't get it, he can't let go of Zhang Liao, who is guarding Xiao Pass, Zhang Liao is a general, and Zhang Liao has more than 20,000 soldiers under his command, which is what he wants." ”

"He wants to recruit Zhang Liao?" When Sun Quan heard this, his eyes lit up slightly, and a gleam flashed across him, and he asked anxiously, "Can we destroy it?" ”

Zhang Liao!

In the future, Cao Wei's five sons are the first of the good generals, and the absolute commander is talented.

Now that Lu Bu has surrendered, with Lu Bu, if he wants to surrender Zhang Liao, Wu Guo should have a better chance.

"I'm afraid it's too late!"

Li Nie shook his head and said: "When I received the news, Cao Cao's elite soldiers had already surrounded Zhang Liao, Cao Cao's character, what he couldn't get was to destroy it, Zhang Liao either surrendered or died, and Lu Bu had already sent Zhang Liao's wife and children to Xiao Guan, his meaning was obviously to let Zhang Liao choose for himself, with Cao Cao's means, Zhang Liao would surrender to Cao Cao!" ”

"It's a pity!"

There was a trace of regret in Sun Quan's face. (To be continued)
