Chapter 324: Jingzhou Trip VII
Xiangyang, the night is bleak, and there is no light.
Post.
When Wen Ping arrived with tens of thousands of elite Chu troops, it was already a mess, with corpses and broken arms everywhere, and blood-stained courtyards, and what he saw was hundreds of soldiers, thousands of Chu troops blocked like a huge mountain.
This scene surprised him.
"What an elite soldier of the Wu Kingdom!"
Wen Ping's reins of the horse, his eyes must be certain, and he sighed slightly, with one block of ten, it is definitely not something that ordinary soldiers can do, but these soldiers of Wu can do it.
"Control them well, and arrest the traitor Wei Yan for me!"
Wen Bing Ge shouted coldly with one finger, and the tens of thousands of elite Chu troops behind him quickly controlled the soldiers of Chu who were attacking Wu State, and in less than a quarter of an hour, this battle ended.
"General, the rebel general Wei Yan has already fled!" A lieutenant quickly reported the way.
"Run, run!"
Wen Ping ignored a small rebel general, and his eyes were now looking at the soldiers of the Wu State who seemed to crawl out of the sea of blood.
These soldiers made him have a touch of awe in his heart, he hurried to come up, to the first leader of the army, arched his hand, and said: "A certain Chu State is hired, this is the Chu State is not strictly under its jurisdiction, the king will definitely give you an explanation, we have no intention of killing the envoy of the Wu State, and please ask Brother Tai to report, the King of Chu is worried about the safety of Donghou, I hope to take a look, is Donghou injured?" ”
If it was before, these little soldiers would naturally not be in his eyes, but now, he had to respect the remnants of the tiger soldiers under the car, which made him feel creepy.
"A certain Wu country car under the army of the tiger warriors waiting for Jin Li, the king of Chu ordered to kill the prince of a certain family, no matter what the situation is, today you can't let you and others step here!"
Jin Li was covered in blood, tough and cold, and the nerves of the tiger warriors under the car, who had only survived less than two hundred, were already tense, and there was no slightest relaxation.
Wen Ping glanced at it, groaned for a while, and issued an order to the soldiers beside him: "All obey the order, retreat two kilometers, and no one is allowed to intervene in the post station for half a step!" ”
Now he didn't dare to anger this group of soldiers of the Wu State who had already killed the red eyes and regarded death as home, if the contradiction was stimulated, it would not be possible for the Chu State to really bear the name of an assassin.
……
Inside the inn, the white horse soldiers were also cleaning the warships.
Zhang Fei's attack completely failed, but Wang Yue could only hurt him, and he couldn't keep him after all, because Chen Deng, as the mastermind of this attack, still kept a hand.
When Wenpin's troops appeared at the post station, Wei Yan had already taken hundreds of loyal soldiers around him, under the cover of night, and fled from Xiangyang in a panic with the two of them in a panic.
did not leave Zhang Fei, Sun Quan still had some regret in his heart, he knew very well that the hatred between Wu and Liu Bei could not be solved, Liu Bei was not willing to lag behind, and now that Zhuge Liang was by his side, he would definitely come out, they would all face each other sooner or later, Zhang Fei, a fierce beast-like general, would be eradicated one day earlier, and the soldiers of Wu State would be able to sacrifice a little smaller in the future.
In this battle, although Wang Yue's sword pierced one of his eyeballs, it still allowed him to stubbornly escape from the post station, and joined Wei Yan's soldiers and horses outside the post station, and finally saved his life.
"Junhou, one hundred and seven soldiers were killed in the battle of the tiger soldiers under the car, and thirty-two soldiers were killed in the battle of the White Horse Yicong, including the soldiers and forests."
A hall of the post station, a silence, a group of envoys of the state of Wu are here, Sun Quan's body is sitting in the first place, with a gloomy face, a scribe beside him, respectfully reported: "The fifty personal soldiers around you have all died in battle, the two major personal guards around you, Arhat has been killed in battle, Han Gang has survived, and there are more than 30 accompanying officials who have been affected and died in battle." ”
"Smack!"
When Sun Quan heard this, the color of a pair of amber crystal eyes gradually changed, and a blood-red light rose to the sky, and in a fit of rage, he slapped his palm on the table next to him, and he entered the realm of qi training, and the huge force of one palm made the entire desk fall apart.
The crowd was shocked.
"A certain Sun Zhongmou swore that he would not take revenge on him, and he would not be a man!"
Sun Quan's cold voice made the temperature in the lobby drop several degrees.
Everyone usually sees Sun Quan's gentle side, and in the face of his murderous and cold look, the atmosphere in the hall has become extremely cold, even Hua Xin, an old courtier who is used to seeing wind and rain, is a little chilled.
"Prince, rest your anger!"
Several ceremonial officials hurriedly came up and whispered to Sun Quan.
"Cremate them, bring the ashes back to Jiangdong, and return to their hometown if they die in a foreign land!" Sun Quan took a deep breath, his heart calmed down a little, and his eyes were a little sad.
"No!" The scribe nodded.
Sun Quan stood up, his eyes looked at the cold night, cold but firm, his teeth clenched the roots of his teeth, and the cold voice seemed to burst out from between his teeth: "Since they died for my Sun Zhongmou, one day, I, Sun Zhongmou, will personally cut off Liu Xuande's head to worship them!" ”
Zhang Fei appeared here, which means that Liu Bei wanted to kill him.
Liu Bei attacked and killed him in Xiangyang City, he must have spent a lot of money, and even did not hesitate to let his sworn brother take action, and he could guess a few points of the purpose.
It's nothing more than hoping that the State of Chu and the State of Wu will fight directly, and then he will have the benefits of the fisherman.
It's a pity that he counted one less Wang Yue and let Sun Quan escape with his life.
"Prince, General Chu is hired, in the name of the King of Chu, I hope to meet you!" At this time, a white horse soldier walked in and bowed down.
Wen Ping wanted to see Sun Quan for the first time, but he was blocked from the post station, and now that he saw that the post station had calmed down, he naturally wanted to confirm Sun Quan's injury again.
"Nope!"
Sun Quan's eyes were indifferent and he burst into cheers.
"Junhou, after all, this person was ordered by the King of Chu to ask to see him several times, but he didn't rush in directly, which is already considered a courtesy, if he doesn't see it, this is inappropriate!"
Hua Xin's eyes moved slightly, walked out, and said worriedly: "Although it is not the King of Chu who wants to kill us this time, but now we are still in Xiangyang after all, if the King of Chu is angry, I am afraid that there will be a military disaster!" ”
"Scourge?"
The corners of Sun Quan's mouth outlined a cold smile, and said, "Liu Biao, he doesn't dare!" ”
Today's Liu Biao doesn't have the courage to kill himself.
"Under normal circumstances, the king of Chu naturally doesn't dare, but after all, the king of Chu is the lord of a country, and the king of Chu who is angry and embarrassed, I'm afraid there is nothing that can't be done." Hua Xin's eyes moved slightly, and he said in a low voice.
"Hua Taishou, if you go to meet him in person, just say that I was seriously injured by the assassins and am in danger, if the State of Chu can't give me an explanation, the navy of the State of Wu will go north on the same day!"
Sun Quan pondered for a moment, he knew that Hua Xin was right, Liu Biao would not kill him, it was in a rational situation, but if he angered Liu Biao, he would definitely be furious, and it would be difficult to say Liu Biao under anger.
"Got it!"
Hua Xin's eyes burst with a gleam, and he walked out and met Wen Ping.
"If you are frightened tonight, go down and recuperate!" Sun Quan sighed, waved his hand at a ceremonial official, and said.
"No!"
After everyone dispersed, Sun Quan also walked out of the lobby.
As a post station in the capital of the Chu State, it was very large, and there were several courtyards connected to it, and Sun Quan walked to a backyard, where the corpses of the dead soldiers of the Wu State were parked, and these corpses were lying on the cold floor, covered with straw mats.
"Prince!" At this time, Jin Li, the leading general of the tiger soldiers under the car, looked at the corpses of the robes one by one, with tears in his eyes, this time in order to block the three thousand Chu soldiers, the tiger soldiers under the car blocked ten, and in less than half an hour, a third of the battle was killed.
He suddenly saw Sun Quan come out, and then he stood up, his voice a little shrill.
Sun Quan patted him on the shoulder, he couldn't say anything, the soldiers of the tiger soldiers and the white horse righteous servants under the car all regarded protecting him as a spiritual mission, and were willing to die for him, what he said now was hypocritical.
He walked past one corpse after another, and finally rested on one of the corpses, the straw mat gently untied, and his eyes were met by the familiar face of the First War.
Lohan.
This one man, he's dead.
This man has been with him from the bloody battle in Wu County to the beginning, and now he is dead, and he died in the hands of Zhang Fei, in order to protect him, in order to delay time for him to escape, and died in the hands of Zhang Fei.
Sun Quan had an impulse in his heart, he wanted to kill Zhang Fei and Liu Bei immediately.
"Luohan, rest in peace, I will definitely avenge you!" Sun Quan's muttered voice was very firm.
"Junhou, Jinyiwei is here!"
Wang Yue appeared beside Sun Quan like a ghost, and said in a low voice, he is now a member of the Jinyi Guard, the honorary mentor of the Jinyi Guard's swordsman and assassin, and he is no stranger to the Jin Yiwei.
"Where?" Sun Quan squinted, there was a hint of anger in his eyes, such a big action, the Jinyi Guards of Xiangyang City actually didn't find out at all, which made him very disappointed.
Jin Yiwei began to lay out in Jingzhou very early, and he spent a lot of time for several years, and he was very unhappy to give him such a result.
"Side hall!"
Sun Quan walked into the side hall with anger all the way, and a middle-aged man, seeing him come in, immediately bowed his head and said respectfully: "Jinyi Wei Jingzhou Qianhu, Luo Ming, meet the prince!" ”
"Luo Qianhu, you disappointed me!" Sun Quan recognized him, he was the first batch of Jinyiwei, he was originally a Jingzhou person, and now Jinyiwei commanded Mo Cong's cadres.
"When we came to Jingzhou, it was equivalent to putting our lives in the hands of your Jinyiwei, as a result, such a big assassination operation, the three thousand soldiers outside the post station were bought, Jinyiwei didn't know at all, I was even wondering, if I died, Jinyiwei didn't know to collect the body for me!"
Sun Quan's cold words made Luo Ming tremble.
"This is a dereliction of duty by his subordinates, and he deserves death!" Luo Ming fell to the ground in a panic, his teeth chattering a little.
"If you die, you can get back the sons of my command who died in battle, and this prince will kill you now!" Sun Quan snorted coldly.
"I'm sorry!"
Luo Ming was speechless, in a cold sweat.
"Get up!"
Sun Quan was dissipated at this time, sat down, he still had a lot of questions in his heart, and he needed Jinyiwei to answer them for him, he asked coldly: "What is the name of the general who led the troops to attack the post station this time, and also, the post station is surrounded by white horse Yicong and the tiger soldiers under the car, don't talk about people, even flies can't enter, where did these assassins enter the post station from?" ”
"Report to the prince, the Chu general who led the troops to attack the post station, named Wei Yan, Zi Wenchang, this general should have been bought by Liu Bei early in the morning, and he was the guard general of the post station just now."
Luo Ming stood up, quickly reported, and said, "The reason why the assassins were able to enter the post station is because there is a passage inside the post station, which leads directly to the waterway outside the post station. ”
"The reason why Jin Yiwei didn't receive any news this time is because the ghost pawns are making trouble in it."
Luo Ming added, and said: "The ghost pawn should have known this news a day earlier than us, and helped them to intercept our Jinyi Guard channel!" ”
"Wei Yan?" Sun Quan sighed, he was mixed up with Liu Bei.
"Ghost pawn intercepting Jinyi Guard? It turns out that Wei Guo also participated in it, I wrote it down! ”
Sun Quan squinted his eyes and asked in a cold voice, "The ghost pawn can actually intercept the news of the Jinyi Guard, is it possible that in this Xiangyang City, the strength of the Wu State Jinyi Guard is not as good as the Wei State ghost pawn?" ”
"Not really!"
Luo Ming shook his head, analyzed in a low voice, and said: "Our Jinyiwei's policy in the Chu State is above the King of Chu and the major families, and the ghost pawns, they also want to be more optimistic about Liu Bei, this assassination is an order issued by Xinye, and they got the news one step ahead of us, so they will block this news in a targeted manner, so that we Jinyiwei can't get it!" ”
"Anyway, this time, it's still your Jinyi Guard's dereliction of duty!" Sun Quan squinted, his gaze was cold, and said, "In this matter, you yourself will go to the headquarters of Jinyiwei, step down!" ”
"No!"
Luo Ming's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly lowered his head.
"Wait!" Sun Quan stopped him.
"Does the prince still have orders?" Luo Ming looked up and asked.
"Send this news back to Wu overnight, report it to the king, and let the king decide!" Sun Quan squinted slightly and said.
"My subordinates understand!" Luo Ming nodded.
……
News of Sun Quan's attack in Xiangyang soon spread back to the state of Chu.
Sun Jian, the king of Wu, was furious and directly made a voice, if Liu Biao, the king of Chu, could not give a satisfactory answer to Wu Guo, hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and horses of Wu State would definitely set foot in Xiangyang.
Moreover, he also issued a military order overnight, 800 miles of urgency, transmitted to Chaisang, in less than a day, the three fleets under Zhou Tai, adding up to 50,000 elite navy, pulled out the camp and went north, quickly approaching Jiangxia.
This actual action made his voice firmer.
The battle of Jiangxia was about to break out.
The relationship between Wu and Chu suddenly became tense, and they entered an ice age.
……
The next day, Xiangyang City, the royal palace.
Liu Biao's face was gloomy as ice cubes, his eyes looked at several confidant ministers, a little cold, and inexplicably carried a black cauldron, which made him angry in his heart.
"How is Sun Quan's injury?" Liu Biao looked at Wen Ping at first glance and asked in a cold voice.
Wen Ping shook his head and said: "I didn't see Sun Quan, but I saw Hua Xin, Hua Xin said that Sun Quan was seriously injured and critically ill, but when he arrived at the post station, the assassin had already asked them to cook, and he guessed that Sun Zhongmou was not harmed!" ”
"The soldiers of the State of Wu are very elite, and they actually blocked the three thousand Chu troops with three hundred soldiers, and the rebels did not rush into the post station at all!" Wen Ping added.
"Hmph, useless thing."
"But they assassinated Sun Quan under the nose of a lonely eye, they are really daring!" Liu's face became more and more gloomy, and a pair of sharp eagle eyes burst out with a cold glow, and said: "Plotting against the generals under Gu's command, attacking Sun Quan, and then putting the responsibility on Gu, it seems that Gutai connived at you!" ”
He is not stupid, and naturally knows whose handiwork it is.
"King, now that the Wu army has pressed Jiangxia, Huang Taishou played overnight and asked for countermeasures!" Kuailiang Road.
"The Wu army is only tens of thousands of troops, what is the way?" The corners of Cai Mao's mouth outlined a faint smile, and said, "How can the Chu State be afraid of him and the Wu State!" ”
"These tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are just the vanguard army, the king of the Eastern Marquis of Wu State in Chu State has been attacked, if Chu State can't give Wu State an explanation, with the violence of Sun Jian's fierce tiger, he will definitely make a big move!" Kuai Yue stood up, arched his hand, analyzed in a low voice, and said: "Our Chu State really doesn't need to be afraid of Wu State, but now that the north is eyeing the Wu State, we can't start a war with Wu State, so as not to fall into the trap of the enemy!" ”
"Okay, don't make any noise!"
Liu Biao rubbed his temples, sighed, looked at Kuai Liang, and asked, "Zirou, what do you mean?" ”
"King, I don't care about this matter, for the sake of today, even if I suffer a loss, I must form an alliance with Wu State in advance to dispel Wu Guo's anger!" Kuailiang Road.
"What you say is reasonable, this matter will be handed over to you!" Liu was a little helpless on the surface, and said weakly.
"No!" Kuai Liang's gaze flashed with a sharp light and nodded.
――――――――――――――――――――
Nanyang, Wancheng, suburbs, the Wei army camp tent in the continuous trees.
Zhang Xiu's command was only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and under the attack of the elite soldiers of the Wei State, he was defeated in three battles and three times.
"King!"
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao, his face was obviously a little depressed, and said: "There is news from Jingzhou, Sun Quan has escaped again!" ”
"Nothing unexpected!"
Cao Cao sat in the first place, the corners of his mouth outlined a flat smile, and said: "If Sun Zhongmou is such a good person to kill, it is not worthy of a certain family to be listed as a confidant, in the East China Sea in the past, a certain had the opportunity to kill him, and in the end, didn't he let him run?" ”
Sun Quan is even more dangerous in Cao Cao's heart than the current Wu King Sun Jian.
"Liu Xuande disappointed a certain person too much, and he also asked the ghost pawn to help them, for this reason, now the ghost pawn has let Jinyiwei pull out several strongholds one after another!"
Guo Jia said with a sigh.
"Huh!"
Cao Cao smiled and said, "Expecting a lost dog to kill Sun Zhongmou, your hopes are too big!" ”
"Yes!" Guo Jia nodded.
"Fengxiao, forget about Jingzhou's affairs, your energy is still focused on Wancheng!" Cao Cao squinted his eyes and said: "How to make Zhang Xiu surrender without a fight is your top priority, this city, plus the tens of thousands of elite Xiliang soldiers in Zhang Xiu's hands, I don't want to fight!" ”
"Don't worry, the king!"
A sharp light flashed in Guo Jia's eyes, and he said confidently: "Within a month, Zhang Xiu will surrender!" ”
