"Ma Zhong, leave me alone, go back and tell Lu Su that he can send troops to attack the Qin army, and don't let Xiakou lose!" Desperately blocking Ding Feng and Xu Sheng, Cheng Pu roared violently, but his roar was so hoarse that Ma Zhong's heart hurt. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Old general, you go back and report, I will block the enemy army for you!" For Ma Zhong, Cheng Pu is like a master and a father, and he is his savior, how can he give it up? Wielding his long sword, Ma Zhong wanted to take over the next enemy general.

Cheng Pu said angrily: "Ma Zhong, the old man is over sixty years old, and he is already in his twilight, but you are still young, don't give your life in vain!" When I saved you, it was just a moment of kindness, and I never thought of letting you repay you! If you know how to repay the favor, then report this kindness to the king in Jiangdong and to the king! ”

"No, old general, you are the pillar of Jiangdong, how can you lose! I'm just a pawn, and if I'm dead, I'm dead! Ma Zhong was very excited, his face was red all the way to the base of his neck, his eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was even more hideous with a hint of madness!

"Ma Zhong, you don't even want to listen to the old man's words? Is this how you repay the favor? If you don't go, I'll die in front of you!" His beard and hair were all open, Cheng Pu's face was serious, the resistance in his hands was a little slower, and a few cuts were suddenly drawn on his body.

"Take care, old general, I'll go!" Seeing that Cheng Pu was not joking, Ma Zhong didn't dare to delay, turned around and ran!

"You want to go, did you ask us? None of you can leave today, so stay alive! "Ding Feng slashed at Ma Zhong, if it weren't for this kid making trouble, he and Xu Sheng would have killed Cheng Pu!

"The old man is here, and the two children dare to be arrogant? Kill me! Ma Zhong, you go quickly! As if he had made up his mind, Cheng Pu straightened up, his gray hair and beard fluttering in the wind, and with that blood-stained armor, he looked like a god! Slowly raising the iron-backed snake spear, he actually made a strange move, stabbing the snake spear at Ding Feng and Xu Sheng, but this action is very similar to the most basic gun move - stab!

"Just the spikes want to deal with us, too? Old fellow, you've taken the wrong medicine! "Although Ding Feng is young, he has also encountered many masters with guns, if it is not for special moves, it is really difficult for him to suffer. Seeing that Cheng Pu actually wanted to use the most basic thrust against himself, he felt a little funny!

"Cheng Yuan, don't underestimate it, this is a stunt in the spearmanship, three-stage thrust, hurry up and defend with all your might!" Xu Sheng was shocked and angry in his heart, he didn't expect Ding Feng to despise the moves that Cheng Pu was desperately using. The lion fights the rabbit with all his might, not to mention that the enemy is a veteran with decades of combat experience?

"What? Three-stage thrust! This old guy can actually use this trick! Ding Feng was shocked, and hurriedly danced the big knife and tried his best to resist, he didn't want to be pierced!

Although the three-stage spike is only a combination of the three basic spikes, its power should not be underestimated. If it weren't for the high requirements for the user, it would be considered a miracle skill. Even in the Qin army, there are very few people who can use this move, and even Liu Zhang can only use two thrusts. Don't underestimate these two spikes, they are the foundation of a hundred birds and a phoenix. If you can't even use two thrusts, you can only say that your qualifications are too poor!

In later generations, the two-stage thrust that has been renamed the drawer gun has achieved countless famous generals with guns with the simplest moves. The most famous is the famous Tang Dynasty general Pei Xingjian, who even named the weapon in his hand a drawer gun. It's a pity that many people have forgotten the real name of the drawer gun, and they don't know that the drawer gun is the two thrusts in the gun move! With two thrusts, you can break through the prestige, not to mention the more powerful three-degree thrusts?

"Boy, you're quite knowledgeable, but you can't stop this move!" Cheng Pu's face was full of hideousness, he used this trick to kill countless enemy generals back then, and many of them had martial arts similar to him, or even higher than him! If it weren't for the fact that he was already old and decrepit, and many difficult gun moves could no longer be used, he was really not afraid of Ding Feng and Xu Sheng!

"Then give it a try!" Xu Sheng was enraged, not only because of Cheng Pu's arrogance, but also because of Ding Feng's idiotic behavior, he rushed towards Cheng Pu with a big knife, wanting to vent all the anger in his heart!

"Dangdang..."After two crisp sounds, the three of them crossed their horses. A gust of wind blew, raising puffs of sand and dust, and the noise on the battlefield seemed to stop in an instant. The three of them turned around, only to see that Xu Sheng's shoulder pads no longer knew where they had flown to, and there was a blood mark on his neck, if it was deeper, the major artery would be severed!

"The old general is really powerful!" Touching the blood marks on his neck, Xu Sheng had palpitations. If it weren't for the fact that at the last moment, he barely crooked his body, and Cheng Pu's hand also trembled, he was already a corpse!

"Poof..."Forcibly using the trick, Cheng Pu was not happy, a mouthful of blood splattered out, and the hand holding the snake spear began to tremble, and even the tiger's mouth seemed to be broken. It's a bit reluctant to pick up two weapons with one move, after all, the age is not forgiving! Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Cheng Pu smiled bitterly: "If it weren't for the old man's old age and decrepitness, how could he let you wait for the rampant!" It's a pity..."

"Nothing to worry about!" Xu Sheng said with a smile: "Old general, King Qin once said: There are talents in the country, and they have been leading the way for decades. Your time has passed, and now it's a world for young people! As the saying goes: Fifty knows the destiny of heaven. You're in your sixties, don't you understand? ”

"What if you understand? Sun Wentai is a brother to me, as long as I am alive, I will defend the territory for him! Boy, this brotherly love, the righteousness of master and servant, you will never understand it in your life! Perhaps, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei and others will understand! As if thinking of something happy, Cheng Pu actually had a smile on his face. That heartfelt smile is so shocking!

"Old General, we respect your loyalty. Now, you have lost your combat effectiveness, no different from dead, as long as you don't resist, we won't kill you..."Looking at the loyal veteran in front of him, everyone will be in awe, Ding Feng and Xu Sheng are no exception, they don't even want to kill Cheng Pu.

"What's the difference between letting me not resist and making me surrender? There are only generals who died in battle in Jiangdong, and there are no generals who surrendered! Cheng Pu shook the snake spear in his hand again and said, "If you really respect me, then let me return the horse leather shroud!" ”

Seeing that Cheng Pu had made up his mind to die, Ding Feng said a little anxiously: "Old general, why did you die for Sun Quan, do you know, Sun..."

"Don't mention that person, it was the old man who sent him out of Jiangdong in the first place!" Cheng Pu interrupted Ding Feng and didn't let Sun Ce's name appear, he said with a bitter face: "The old man is already sorry for him, and he is really shameless." Besides, protecting Koto is my promise to his father, and it has nothing to do with him! Two little generals, let's fight it to the death! ”

"Then we'll give the old general a ride!" Ding Feng and Xu Sheng no longer insisted on it, they knew that these veterans valued their promises more than their lives. The two of them pounced with knives, and Cheng Pu also rushed towards the two!

"Puff puff..."The three horses crossed the stirrups, and the sound of two steel knives entering the flesh sounded. When they separated again, they saw that Cheng Pu was still riding on the horse, but he never turned around! Blood dripped on the ground, the iron-backed snake spear fell with a clatter, and Cheng Pu slowly fell. Ding Feng and Xu Sheng couldn't bear to see him die without a corpse, so they kept one hand, otherwise he would have to become at least three sections if he went down with two knives!

"Thank you..."Knowing the thoughts of the two, and regardless of whether the two of them could hear it or not, Cheng Pu muttered a thank you.

"What's the trouble?" Zema stood beside Cheng Pu, Ding Feng and Xu Sheng were full of helplessness, although they admired Cheng Pu's loyalty, but in their opinion, it was completely unnecessary. It's a pity that Cheng Pu can't hear them anymore.

Lying on the ground, looking up at the blue sky, he seemed to see Sun Jian's smiling face. Cheng Pu slowly closed his eyes, smiled and said, "Brother Wentai, I'm here!" Your inheritance may not be kept, but I have done my best! I... with a clear conscience..."

"Cheng Gong..."Cheng Pu's death was definitely a blow to the morale of the Jiangdong Army, and the moment Cheng Pu landed, the Jiangdong Army also began to rout! The 20,000 Jiangdong Army was defeated and retreated under the attack of the 15,000 Qin army, and finally abandoned its weapons and surrendered. The only general who retreated with his whole body was Ma Zhong!

After cleaning up the mess, Dong Yun was ordered to take the prisoners back to Jiangxia with the grain soldiers, while Lu Xun rushed to the naval camp with three days of grain and grass. Now that the grain road has been cleared, the task of transporting grain naturally has to be handed over to Jiangxia. At the same time, the Qin army also brought Cheng Pu's body to defeat the morale of the Jiangdong army. Of course, if it weren't for the persuasion of Ding Feng and Xu Sheng, Lu Xun would definitely only take people back!

Ma Zhong, who had fled back, had already brought the bad news back to Xiakou, but Lu Su and Jiang Qin did not believe it. When Cheng Pu's corpse appeared on the Qin army's warship, all the Jiangdong soldiers were stunned! You must know that Cheng Pu is Sun Jian's general, one of the four elders of Jiangdong, and his prestige in Jiangdong is even higher than Sun Quan!

Sadness and pain permeated the hearts of the Jiangdong soldiers, but more of them were anger. The Jiangdong army in Xiakou, especially the soldiers who followed Cheng Pu, gathered at the port to seek justice for Cheng Pu. The helpless Lu Su couldn't stop everyone's anger and had to agree to fight, but the Qin army only used a burst of indiscriminate bombardment to calm down the Jiangdong people!

Half a month later, Lu Su couldn't stand the indiscriminate bombardment of the Qin army, so he had to order a retreat and write a letter to Sun Quan to ask for guilt. Lu Xun immediately occupied Xiakou Port and brought in a large number of weapons to make Xiakou impregnable. However, after the Qin army occupied Xiakou, there was no movement!

Jiangdong, Moling.

The loss of Xiakou is equivalent to the breach of the Jiangdong portal, looking at the plea sent by Lu Su, Sun Quan's face was full of anger, but it was because of his anger that everyone ignored the news of Cheng Pu's death! Sitting in the council hall, holding the plea, Sun Quan looked at everyone and asked, "Princess, now that the Jiangdong portal has been opened, what should our army do?" ”

"King, please send troops to help Cao Ying as soon as possible!" Zhang Zhao stroked his long hair, his face was unfathomable!

"Jiangdong can't be saved, do you still care about Cao Ying?" Sun Quan's tone was a little unkind, in his opinion, Zhang Zhao began to make capitulationist mistakes again!

"The king's words are wrong!" Zhang Zhao smiled: "As long as Liu Zhang is defeated, what else can Xiakou's partial army do?" When the time comes, the Qin army will not only have to withdraw from Xiakou, but maybe also withdraw from Jingzhou! ”

The people of Jiangdong seem to have been immersed in the dream of defeating Liu Zhang and winning the world, but Sun Quan is still quite awake. After listening to Zhang Zhao's words, he couldn't help frowning and asked, "If the Qin army attacks Jiangdong from Xiakou Port, what should it do?" ”

"Don't worry, the Qin army shouldn't advance anymore!" Zhang Zhao said confidently: "Lu Xun and Gan Ning are all naval troops, and if they go ashore, they will lose fifty percent of their combat effectiveness, and those siege equipment are not very useful in a head-to-head confrontation." With Lu Zijing's ability, he can definitely stop them! As long as the Qin army's foot soldiers and cavalry are not allowed to go to Xiakou, Jiangdong is still as stable as Mount Tai! ”

"In other words, as long as the Qin army can be dragged on the front line in Runan, Jiangdong will be safe! That being the case, prepare to send troops to help Cao! Adopting Zhang Zhao's advice, Sun Quan immediately ordered the generals to gather troops and prepare for the expedition. In his eyes, nothing is more important than defeating Liu Zhang!

"You seem to have forgotten something, your lord!" An old voice sounded, and I saw an old man with white hair walking outside the hall. Judging from his figure, this old man has a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and he was definitely a general when he was young!

"Public, how did you get here?" Seeing the comer, Sun Quan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that Huang Gai, who was seriously ill, would come to discuss the matter, and he didn't realize that his title for Huang Gai had become a superior and a subordinate! You must know that the children of the Sun family are all commensurate with Huang Gai and others as uncles, even in public!

"Have you really forgotten, my lord?" Two lines of tears flowed from Huang Gai's eyes, he really couldn't imagine that Sun Quan was so ruthless! Since the bad news of Cheng Pu's death came, he was waiting for Sun Quan to come to pay respects. But a day passed, not to mention Sun Quan, even the Jiangdong courtiers did not come alone. Hearing that Sun Quan was in a meeting, he bent his body to ask, but got an answer he didn't want to hear: Sun Quan didn't seem to remember Cheng Pu's death at all!

"What did Lone forget?" Sun Quan's face sank, and he was a little unhappy. The successive defeats had already upset him, and if he saw an old man crying and crying, of course he wouldn't have a good face!

"Demou is gone!" Huang Gai pushed away the attendants beside him, knelt heavily on the ground and said, "Qin Jun killed Demou, doesn't the king have any ideas?" ”

"Of course there is, I want to defeat Liu Zhang and sacrifice his head to Demou!" Sun Quan's face was hideous, I don't know if it was for Cheng Pu or Liu Zhang!

Huang Gai smiled, and he asked loudly, "Great King, are you confident that you can defeat Liu Zhang?" ”

"Lonely..."Sun Quan was stunned, his eyes narrowed, and he asked in a deep voice: "General Huang, what do you mean by this?" Do you think that loneliness is not as good as Liu Zhang? Or do you want to disturb the hearts of our army? ”

Ignoring Sun Quan's anger, Huang Gai shook his head and said: "King, Demou has watched you grow up since he was a child, and now that he is dead, if you don't set up a mourning hall for him, don't you even have the heart to worship him?" Defeating Liu Zhang is indeed important, but if you ignore virtue for Liu Zhang's sake, aren't you afraid of the cold hearts of the ministers? ”

Looking at Sun Quan, Huang Gai's tear-stained face actually calmed down. Speaking of chills, his heart is already cold. He still remembers that in order to fight for power, Sun Quan could even harm his own brother. What kind of affection can he expect Sun Quan to have for his courtiers? What's more, he has already understood Sun Quan's mind from Sun Quan's name for him!

Huang Gai's meaning, how could Sun Quan not understand, he said in a deep voice: "Demou's body is still in the hands of the Qin army, and Gu Hui will send someone to ask for it, even if he exchanges it for land, Gu will not be stingy!" Lone also let Demou's eldest son inherit his title and be promoted to the third rank, doesn't this reflect Lone's heart? Now that the war is imminent, Jiangdong is in danger. If Lone delays important military and political affairs for the funeral of Demou, Demou will not feel at ease! ”

"What the king said is very true, I will wait to obey!" Sun Quan said it reasonably, and the ministers in the hall praised each other, but Huang Gai shook his head slightly.

"I understand, forgive me for being rude!" Huang Gai's face was full of disappointment, and he could see that Sun Quan was perfunctory to him. Stumbling out of the hall, he did not go home, but went to Cheng Pu's house.

Cheng Mansion is setting up a mourning hall, and Han Dang is also impressively listed. Since Sun Ce left, several veteran generals have successively handed over their rights to Sun Quan. But he never expected that Sun Quan would tear down the bridge when he crossed the river, and directly idle several old generals, even Cheng Pu was a nominal general. If it weren't for the fact that there was no one available, Sun Quan would not have used Cheng Pu as a general, but the unlucky Cheng Pu was killed in this battle, which was really unexpected!

"Big brother, you go slowly!" Wearing linen and filial piety, wearing a white filial piety belt around his waist, the tears on Huang Gai's face never stopped, he knelt straight in front of the spirit, and his eyes were not focused.

"Gongfu, didn't you go to see the king? What did the king say? Han Dang, who was also dressed in linen and filial piety, knelt aside, he looked a lot older!

"The king? What else could he say? Huang Gai muttered: "Yigong, are you wrong when you say that we are wrong, if the eldest prince is here, he will never let Demou go so aggrieved!" ”

"The eldest prince? It's a pity he's dead! Han Dang didn't know the secret that Sun Ce was not dead, he knelt in front of the spirit, shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Now that the second prince has held all the power of Jiangdong in his hands, even if the eldest prince is not dead, it will be useless!" ”

"yes, it's late!" Huang Gai stopped talking, his eyes looked straight at the spirit position, no one noticed that there was a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth!

For seven days in a row, Huang Gai knelt in front of the spirit for seven days, and he didn't eat anything except being forced to drink some water! In these seven days, no more than 20 Jiangdong officials came to Shangxiang, most of whom were Cheng Pu's former comrades-in-arms. The warmth and coldness of the people made Huang Gai's heart even colder.

Just on Cheng Pu's first seven, Huang Gai sprayed a mouthful of blood on the white sail of the mourning hall and fainted. Han Dang and others urgently called for doctors, but Huang Gai's body was already weak, and seven days of hard work, coupled with grief, made him exhausted, and died of illness that night! It's just that on the eve of his death, Huang Gai's mouth still murmured: "Brother Demou, Brother Wentai, Brother Darong, are you coming to pick me up?" I'm ashamed of you..."

Zu Mao died early, although Han Dang was grief, but he could bear it, but Sun Jian's death made him grief-stricken, and now Cheng Pu and Huang Gai are both unfortunate, he can no longer bear the blow of losing his best friend, and he suddenly vomited blood. On Huang Gai's first seven, Han Dang finally died of illness. Before he died, he also muttered what Huang Gai said...
