Chapter 445: Trick of the City
"Sima, this is the battle report sent by Zhang Liao, take a look!" , Li Yu casually handed over a volume of letters, which was sent by Zhang Liao, and the general thought of a more feasible plan, once successful, the state of Wu would be destroyed!
Sima Yi took the letter, looked at it carefully, then thought for a while, and said with a smile: "The plan is indeed feasible, but the student wants to make a change!" So it's more likely to be believed! β
"Oh? Tell me about it! Li Yu stood up, looking a little difficult, took a few steps outside, closed his eyes to meet the sunshine, this is a gift from God;" Gan Ning! This person was originally a Jinfan thief and had a bad reputation, it was a good choice to make some fuss about him, Sun Quan would easily believe it, otherwise he would not have believed that Lu Xun's cavalry would be destroyed so quickly! Sima Yi whispered; What do you think is the chance of success of Zhang Liao's plan, coupled with your changes? Li Yu still closed his eyes and asked with a smile: "If it succeeds, now that all the people in Lingyang City are soldiers, how should we deal with ourselves?" Kill? Or don't kill? β
"That's a 70% chance of success! We need a general who can perform a more performant army, as for the ordinary people in the city", Sima Yi gritted his teeth again and again: "Killing, it will arouse public anger and cause unnecessary losses, if you don't kill, Sun Quan is likely to run away because of this, it is difficult to choose, but you have to choose, the students think not to kill!" β
"Huh! If Sun Quan runs away, how can I explain to Your Majesty? Tell me, what do you think! Li Yu smiled, Sima Yi is not the kind of person who is cold by nature, maybe he can guide him on the right path;" No need to explain! Sima Yi replied categorically: "For the whole world, this troubled era has come to the final stage, under the general environment, everything that violates the will of heaven will be crushed and crushed, not just one or two people can change everything; The generals and ministers of Wu have already died, surrendered, and there is not much left of the army, and there are tens of thousands of generals in the army for thirty years, and one or two generals can gain a foothold in the troubled times and break through the world, and now that era has passed! The power of the state is incomparable to the individual! β
"Not bad! There is growth! Go and call Wei Yan over! If you want to find a general who can act, you still have to look for him! Hehe! Li Yu praised two sentences and said with a smile, Sima Yi was also happy on his face, and then went out of the big tent and went to find Wei Yan to come over; After a while, Wei Yan came to the tent and respectfully performed a teacher salute: "Mr. called me, what is the matter?" The front line is fighting, I'm busy haha! β
"You kid!" , Li Yu tapped him with his finger: "There is an important matter for you!" Once you succeed, you can break through Ling Yang and kill Sun Quan! Destroy the Kingdom of Wu! Come! Check this out! β
Taking the letter from Zhang Liao in Li Yu's hand, Wei Yan read it carefully, his eyes rolled around, and then he smiled: "It takes a day to prepare, and I also need others to storm Zero Yang City to cooperate with my actions!" β
Clean and concise style, strong self-confidence, this is Wei Wenchang, as one of the most proud protΓ©gΓ©s he taught, Li Yu is still very proud: "Okay! Good! If you need anything, just say it, I'll take care of it all for you! β
"Knock knock", the war drums sounded rapidly, "Kill-!" The sound of fighting floated in the sky, and the outside of Lingyang City was already covered with corpses, and the blood was red on the ground, and the crows had been waiting for a long time, but they didn't dare to come down, because the war was still going on!
"My lord! Hold on! Hold on! In the city tower, Lu Su, who was pale, lay on the couch, constantly comforting Sun Quan, who had collapsed in his heart, no matter who was tortured by this endless attack for more than ten days, no one's mood would be much better;" The Cao army is attacking very urgently, our army is constantly damaged, even if everyone in Lingyang City is helping us, I'm afraid it won't last long I'm not a selfish person, I was thinking about the land that my father and brother fought hard to kill, I just don't want their hard work to be lost like this; But now I'm afraid I won't be able to last long! The people in the city are innocent, I don't want them to be hurt too much, I also see the appearance of Cao Jun, I am afraid that if they are really resentful to the extreme, it will be inevitable after breaking through the city"; Sun Quan's voice was low, his face was dry, the young monarch no longer had the same splendor as before, he became sentimental and worried, and his heart was already filled with fear; "Does the lord want to surrender?" Looking at Sun Quan silently for a long time, Lu Su sighed: "If you have this kind of thought, I won't stop it, but you have to think about other people's lives!" Wu Guotai, princesses, princesses, and princes, there is really not much I can help you! β
Lu Su coughed repeatedly, and his pain was shown between his eyebrows, maybe talented people are like this! Because of his talent, he works hard, does everything himself, and his life is not long due to overwork: "The more urgent the Cao army attacked, the more it showed the eagerness in their hearts now, and Lu Xun brought them a threat!" β
Sun Quan hurriedly asked someone to treat Lu Su and he climbed the city wall, continued to boost morale, and showed his tough side, his heart was a mess, Lu Su was right, he is not only responsible for his own life now, he is bearing the lives of many people; If he surrenders, the Jiangdong Sun clan will perish! It seems that he has a choice between the ordinary people and the survival of the family! This is the consistent choice of the superior person, he is not a person who is benevolent to the extreme, so his choice is self-evident; With mixed emotions in his heart, Sun Quan stood on the front line and fought with the Cao army, at this moment, the Wu army at the head of the city was in a riot, and there were bursts of surprise, and then it was cheers, Sun Quan looked at these people's eyes
A sky-high fire lit up behind the Cao camp, the voices of the people were boiling, shouting and killing constantly, a team of cavalry rushed out of the camp, the armor of the Wu army, the banner of the Wu army, this is his own men and horses, Lu Xun! Coming back?
Sun Quan's heart was full of joy, as if he saw the dawn of hope, he shouted frantically: "Cao's army grain and grass have been burned, we have won!" Victory! victorious", the frenzied Wu army also began to celebrate their victory, and the Cao army seemed to begin to retreat with shouts, and a group of military horses rushed out of the Cao camp, bypassing them and heading straight for the north gate;
Time advanced a little, Wei Yan came to Zhang Liao's camp, to be precise, to the camp of the surrendered Wu army, standing on a high place: "I need a few people to help me break through Lingyang City first!" Who wants to help me? β
Maybe these people surrendered and lost their integrity, but they are not the kind of people who betray their lord and seek glory, they are just worried about the people in their families, they are silent, no matter how many benefits Wei Yan promises, still no one moves; Later, someone finally came over tremblingly under the angry eyes of everyone, and asked astringently: "General Wei, can you exonerate us from our crimes?" β
Wei Yan was a little strange: "You know me?" I have been stationed in northern Xinjiang for all these years, and I have basically not participated in the war in the south, you can even recognize me, say! Who are you? β
The soldier was obviously a little flustered and fell to his knees: "The villain is originally from Wei!" It's just that Ling Yang was defeated and captured, and he surrendered as a last resort! β
"Bad seeds!" , Wei Yan shouted with disgust: "You actually surrendered to the State of Wu!" Now I want to come back! Play fast and loose! Not to be believed! Pull it down - cut it! β
The soldier knelt on the ground, his body trembling and was pulled away by several guards, he did not resist, his heart was like ashes, and he whispered: "I just want to live, I just want to live!" Is there something wrong? Is there something wrong?"
"Stop!" , Wei Yan heard clearly, the soldier was put down, he looked at this soldier, and sighed, in this troubled world of cannibalism, aren't they all going to have food and shelter, can they live? It's just that some people are able to take the high-end route, while some people can only survive humbly; Patting the soldier's shoulder sentimentally, Wei Yan helped him up, patted the dust on his body, and tears in his eyes: "You're right!" Stay alive! Stay alive! Survive as tenacious as weeds! Come back! Wei is your home! β
Cao Cao's army defeated Lingyang, more than 300,000 soldiers were killed and wounded, and 30,000 or 40,000 were wounded and captured, all of whom were detained in Lingyang to build a palace for Sun Quan. Only a small number of people survived because Lu Xun needed to train a cavalry team and needed their help, nominally they were instructors, responsible for training cavalry, but in fact they were more like slaves, and they were called around by Wu Jun just to survive and give themselves and their families a hope!
Wei Yan knew that he had no reason to ridicule and ridicule them, nor did he have any reason to destroy or destroy their hopes, so he chose tolerance, and because of his tolerance and sensibility, many former Cao Jun stood up and helped him; burned down the empty camp tent of the Cao army, and staged a scene with the Cao army left behind, the "Wu army" with tattered clothes and tired armor rushed out of the encirclement, successfully ended the camp in the rear of the Cao army, cut off their food routes, and successfully returned triumphantly!
Outside the north gate of Lingyang City, Wu Jun shouted loudly to open the door, and Sun Quan ran to the north gate excitedly to meet their hero, but his behavior was quickly stopped by Lu Meng, and they still had to test it with a cautious attitude; "Your Majesty! Gan Ning's dog thief rebelled and killed Lu Dudu", countless "Wu Jun" cried and shouted, the voice was terrible, Lu Xun's body was also sent to the city, and Gan Ning's head was also sent up; According to the script made up by Wei Yan, after successfully cutting off the grain route of the Cao army, he encountered a large cavalry of the Cao army led by Zhang Liao and Lu Bin, Gan Ning rebelled and killed Lu Xun, but was killed by them, and then they fought to break through, but they only had these 5,000 people left
