Chapter 61: Too Impulsive

"Now that you have been captured and you are dead, why do you need to say more? I don't know anything! Sun Jiao snorted coldly, don't look over his head and not look at Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng didn't care when he touched a nail, but said to himself: "I heard that you kidnapped Zhang Zibu, and then sent someone to open the gate of Wujun to welcome Sun Quan into the city?" I'll just ask you two questions, first, how did you agree with Sun Quan to enter the city? Second, where was Sun Quan's army stationed before. ”

"General, what do you mean by that?" Sun Jiao's eyes were a little flustered, but he still stubbornly asked.

"What do you mean? Less than ten days after General Ji Ling and General Sun Fu left Yangzhou, Sun Quan descended from heaven to take three counties in a row. If he hadn't learned that the Yangzhou garrison was empty, how would he dare to act like this? Moreover, if it weren't for the appointed time, how could you be so coincidental to attack at the same time? Also, Sun Quan's army rushed to Jiangdong by sea so quickly, what happened to this? Zhao Feng said word by word. Sun Jiao's face became more and more pale when he heard this, he never expected that Zhao Feng would be so careful and could consider such a detailed issue.

"I, I don't know!" Sun Jiao panicked for a while, and finally chose the most idiotic answer method. Zhao Feng didn't care when he heard this, he just stared at Sun Jiao from the beginning to the end, and his smile became even more sinister. It wasn't until he saw that Sun Jiao's heart was almost furious, and then he spoke: "It is said that you took his newlywed wife hostage on the grounds of bringing him to meet Mr. Zhang Zibu, right?" Since you refuse to say it, I think your newlywed lady should know more about current affairs than you! I'll just ask her. Turning his head and looking around, Zhao Feng said to himself: "Where to ask, why don't you go to your bedroom, I think it's quite spacious." ”

"Zhao Botao, you are also a famous general in the world, what kind of ability is it to bully women?" Sun Jiao was so anxious when he heard this, he almost didn't jump up and bite Zhao Feng to death. He's not a first-time brother who hasn't been in the right place, think about a man taking his wife to the bedroom, how can anything good happen? If you care about it, it will be chaotic.

"Your whole family is now my prisoner, so naturally you are at my disposal." Zhao Feng said lightly, and then continued to threaten: "I'm afraid that your wife is as stubborn as you, it seems that I have to find more people to talk to your wife." ”

"Don't!" Sun Jiao was so anxious that he shouted loudly, jumped a few times, and finally lowered his head dejectedly and said, "I said, I said, please don't touch my wife." ”

"Then it depends on what you say?" Zhao Feng does not have any sense of authenticity. He knew that as long as Sun Jiao loosened his mouth a little, then it would be much easier later. Sun Jiao sighed, and then explained the situation in detail.

"In other words, Sun Quan had a team of men and horses stationed in Yizhou before? When our army is dispatched, you will inform him with carrier pigeons that our garrison is empty, and let him lead the army from Yizhou, and then you will enter Wu County in advance, open the city gate at the appointed time, and receive Sun Quan to seize Wu County? Zhao Feng listened to Sun Jiao's confession and concluded.

"Exactly." After confessing, Sun Jiao seemed to have lost all his strength and replied in a low voice.

"Yizhou, how did you find Yizhou?" Zhao Feng asked with some surprise, in history, Sun Quan only discovered Yizhou after 230 AD, when he sent the general Wei Wen to the sea, why is it nearly thirty years ahead of schedule.

"When the lord arrived in Jiaozhou, according to the guidance of some old local boatmen, he sent a sailor to the sea to the east, and then he discovered Yizhou." Sun Jiao is now pouring beans from a bamboo tube, what do you have to say.

"How long have you been operating there, and how many people are there?" Zhao Feng continued to ask.

"For more than a year, there are more than 10,000 troops stationed on the island, and there are still some local natives, Lu Ziming built a city there, and now Xu Jing and Xu Wenxiu are working there." Sun Jiao replied.

"I see, you sent troops from Yizhou, and after taking Wu County and Huiji, you attacked the South China Sea again, and then transferred troops from Jiaozhou to garrison here, right?" Zhao Feng then asked.

"Yes." Sun Jiao's psychological defense line has completely collapsed now, what can I say.

"Well, last question, who raised your carrier pigeons?" After listening to his confession, Zhao Feng also solved the old problem, but added a new problem. As far as he knew, carrier pigeons of this era had not yet begun to be used on a large scale. Originally, Zhao Feng wanted to raise it himself, but firstly, there were no pigeons, and secondly, he would not raise them, so he could only give up, but he didn't expect that there were people in Jiangdong who had this ability. Such a talent must not be let go, after all, the rapid transmission of information is too important for the success or failure of a war.

"It seems to have been raised by the elder father's sister, Mrs. Qiao, and the lord said so when he gave it to me." Sun Jiao replied. Zhao Feng asked a few more questions, and felt that it was impossible for him to lie, so he ordered him to be taken away and detained with his family, and left for later pacification of Jiangdong before he was released.

"Da Qiao Xiao Qiao, I didn't expect you to have this ability." Zhao Feng snorted in his heart. He saved Xiao Qiao's life twice, but he didn't expect that this carrier pigeon was domesticated by her sisters, and it also brought a lot of trouble to herself, Zhao Feng really felt a little uncomfortable with them now. At this moment, Gao Ran came to report that the sailor on Poyang Lake saw that Poyang City was broken, and his back road was cut off, so he had no choice but to lead the army ashore to surrender.

Zhao Feng in this compartment is taking prisoners seriously and caring for people's hearts, and the rest of the places are not idle. On the Jiaozhou side, after Gan Ning transferred most of the defenders of the three counties, he led his army to take the three counties lightly. As a result, the nearly 20,000 Jiaozhou troops dispatched by the three counties suddenly became homeless and lonely ghosts, and finally were forced to join forces and go to the South China Sea to defect to Ling Tong there. But Shi Guangyuan had already told Gan Ning that these defenders had nowhere to go, and the most likely place to go was the South China Sea, so after Gan Ning subdued the three counties, he set up an ambush on the way from Gaoliang to the South China Sea, and the Jiaozhou army was really ambushed. After a scuffle, of the nearly 20,000 Jiaozhou troops, only more than 4,000 escaped and went to Nanhai County, and the rest were either annihilated or surrendered and captured.

"It's a pity, General Gan, we don't have enough manpower, otherwise, we should be able to annihilate the Jiaozhou army along the way!" In the process of cleaning the battlefield, Zhang Nan regretted the authenticity. Although the plan was very clever, Gan Ning and the others only had 30,000 people after all. Excluding the men and horses left behind in the four counties, this ambush only used less than 20,000 people, which was almost equal to the opponent's troops. Although the Jingzhou army is better in combat effectiveness, it is not difficult to win, but it is unrealistic to want to completely annihilate the other party.

"That's right, we only have 30,000 people, if it weren't for Mr. Shi's proper planning, how could we easily take the four counties of Jiaozhou and capture Sun Jing's father and son?" Gan Ning is more open-minded.

"It's just a pity for me, if I can keep all the people on this road, I can pretend to be a defeated soldier and deceive the Nanhai City Gate. There are also seven or eight thousand men and horses under the command of Ling Tong, the defender of the South China Sea, plus the defeated soldiers who fled in rout, the strength of the army has exceeded 10,000. If we can't hold on, I'm afraid we won't be able to attack! In this way, I am afraid that we will have to transfer troops from Jingzhou again. Only then did Zhang Nan tell the reason for his sigh.

"Not necessarily." Gan Ning suddenly said.

"Huh? Is there a way for General Gan to be able to take the South China Sea? Zhang Nan heard what Gan Ning said, and hurriedly asked.

"It stands to reason that the walls of the South China Sea are dangerous, and the defenders are also adequate. If Ling Tong insists on not fighting, it will naturally be difficult for us to break through the South China Sea. Gan Ning said eloquently, looking at Zhang Nan and Feng Xi who were looking forward to it in front of him, Gan Ning smiled slightly and said, "But I believe that Ling Tong will not stick to it." ”

"Why?" Zhang Nan and Feng Xi asked in unison.

"Because, his son Ling Ying died in my hands back then!" Gan Ning smiled. Zhang Nan didn't react yet, but Feng Xi participated in the Battle of Jiangdong that year, and suddenly remembered the Battle of Yuzhang, where Gan Ning and the Jingzhou Army joined forces to break through the Jiangdong Army's Ganjiang Water Division Battalion, and the Jiangdong general Ling Ying was killed by Gan Ning's arrow.

"Ling Ying died in my hands, Ling Tong is young and vigorous, and now he sees me attacking the South China Sea, do you think he will stick to it without a fight?" Gan Ning said with a smile. Zhang Nan and Feng Xi glanced at each other, and suddenly had a lot of foundation in their hearts. At that moment, Gan Ning ordered the whole army to march to Cangwu, and after converging with Huo Jun there, the two sides combined forces to attack the South China Sea, and at the same time let Zhang Nan stay in Gaoliang and Feng Xi to stay in Jiaozhi, cut off the grain and grass supply of these two counties to Zhuya County, and prepare to take the last two strongholds occupied by the Sun family in Jiaozhou in such a two-pronged manner. However, what Gan Ning didn't expect was that Ling Tong was more impulsive than he imagined.

There are two flowers, one on each branch. Ling Tong, who was in the South China Sea, learned the news that the four counties of Jiaozhou had all fallen from the mouth of the defeated soldiers, and immediately gasped.

"General, the only way to do this is to tell the lord about this matter as soon as possible, and then make a decision!" Seeing that Ling Tongyi was shocked by this news, he was in a trance, and one of his staff members hurriedly admonished.

"Jiaozhou is where the foundation of the lord is located, and the life and death of Lord Youtai (Sun Jing) and his son are uncertain, how can I sit idly by. The lord is in Wu County, and when he comes and goes to deliver the news, he says, I should send troops first to recover these four counties! Ling Tong thought for a moment.

"But general, at the moment, I don't have more than 10,000 soldiers, how can we recover the four counties?" When this person heard that Ling Tong was actually going to take the initiative, he was immediately shocked.

"It's okay, the Jingzhou army will not have too many troops when it goes south, we just need to act when we have the opportunity!" Ling Tong waved his hand, and at the same time sent more detectives to inquire about the news without mentioning it.

The next time, after Tanma found out the news, he came to report that after the Jingzhou army took the four counties, it had already joined Huo Jun in Cangwu, and it seemed that the next step was to come towards the South China Sea. "Who is the general of the Jingzhou Army?" Ling Tong asked.

"Look at the banner, it should be Gan Ning, the general of Hengbo." Tanma replied.

"Gan Ning?" When Ling Tong heard this, he immediately filled his chest, and he hated to fight to the death with him immediately. "Pass my order, order 10,000 troops, kill Cangwu, I want to break Gan Ning's corpse into 10,000 pieces!" Ling Tong almost roared out the order. A group of staff members knew that the person Ling Tong hated the most in his life was his father-killing enemy Gan Ning. Everyone has known him for a long time, and seeing that he is now in the small universe, it is useless to know that it is useless to persuade him, so he has to order troops to fight without mentioning it.

"General Gan, there are enemy troops coming!" Two days later, in the city of Cangwu County, Gan Ning was discussing with Huo Jun about sending troops, but he heard Tanma report like this.

"Killed?" Gan Ning and Huo Jun looked at each other: This Ling Tong was too impulsive, and he actually took the initiative to come over to compete with Gan Ning, so much so that Zhang Nan was worried that he would not be able to defend it. "If so, then I will go to meet the enemy." Gan Ning knew that Ling Tong was coming for him, and he didn't plan to dodge. Huo Jun knew the grievances between the two, and he didn't volunteer at the moment, but he just went to fight for Gan Ning without mentioning it.
