"Report, General, we have captured another messenger from Xuzhou! Another letter was found from him! A small soldier reported to Sun Quan.

"Oh? Show it to me! ”

Seeing the letter, Sun Quan smiled, and then handed it to Zhou Tai and said, "Youping, Guangling is short of grain and grass, and now Chen Deng is collecting grain and grass everywhere, waiting for reinforcements!" ”

"Oh? Second son, so this is our chance? ”

"Someone, bring me the messenger!" Sun Quan shouted, and soon the soldiers escorted the messenger over.

I saw a yellow-faced and thin-skinned man being escorted over, and as soon as he arrived in front of Sun Quan, he knelt down and howled: "General, spare your life, spare your life, I have old and young, just eat with a mouthful of food, general, general spare life!" ”

"Hmph, whether you spare your life or not depends on General Sun's benevolence and your performance! General Sun has something to ask you, answer truthfully! Zhou Tai put down the long knife and placed it on the messenger's shoulder.

"General Sun spares his life, spares his life, the villain must report it truthfully!" The messenger was so frightened that he quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Guangling lacks grain and grass? Chen Deng sent troops to collect food everywhere? ”

"This?"

"Say it quickly, or it will kill your dog!" Zhou Tai snorted.

"Yes, it's the general, since the Wu thief no, no, after the Jiangdong Army attacked Kuangqi, the grain and grass in Guangling have been poor, and I don't know what the reason is, the grain and grass in Xuzhou have not arrived for a long time. Now the soldiers in the city are complaining. ”

"Oh? Is this true? Sun Quan looked at the messenger suspiciously.

"My lord, how dare I lie to you? Knife, knife still on the neck. You looked at me? If I had military rations, I would still be like this? ”

'Nonsense! How dare you question the general like this?! I don't think you want to live anymore! With that, Zhou Tai raised his long knife and was about to slash at the messenger.

"Slow! Youping, stop, take him down! ”

"This?"

"Keep him, General Ben is still useful!"

"Yes, Second Son!"

"Someone, take him down!"

"Second son, this person?"

"Youping, Chen Deng has been running Guangling for a long time, there must be a trap near the city, now our army goes to the open area in front to rest for a while, you go to torture the two captured messengers, remember, you have to torture separately, set out the terrain near Guangling, I can take a closer look!"

"Obey, second son, Zhou Tai knows!" Zhou Tai arched his hand and retreated.

Sun Quan led the army to an open field, ordered the generals to be on guard, and went to rest under a big tree, waiting for the results of Zhou Tai's interrogation.

"See the second son!"

"Youping is back? Rewards! ”

"Second son, this is the Guangling terrain that the two of them explained, as well as some of Chen Deng's defenses, please take a look!"

Sun Quan took the information obtained by Zhou Tai, looked at it, and referred to the map drawn by the secret agent.

"Second son? Have you ever been consistent? ”

Sun Quan smiled and said: "Youping, this time you and I have made a great contribution, it seems that what those two said is true, let them lead the way, lead us around Chen Deng's defense, and go straight to Guangling City!" ”

"No!"

Zhou Tai immediately ordered two messengers to be brought with them, leading the way in front, and he and Sun Quan galloped behind with a large army, the target, Guangling!

The sky had just broken and there was silence outside Guangling City, so quiet that you could hear the chirping of birds.

"Yuanlong, got up so early?"

Lu Rui and Man Chong boarded the city tower and saw that Chen Deng had already dressed up and was waiting here.

"Master Hou, Berning? You're all here? ”

"Yuanlong, how can the two of us sleep peacefully so early? Yuanlong, Sun Quan is here today? ”

"Yes, my two messengers did not put back the carrier pigeon, it should have fallen into the hands of Sun Quan, since this is the case, the false news of our army must also be known by Sun Quan, no matter whether Sun Quan sees through my plan or not, today, Sun Quan will go to Guangling!"

"My lord, Sun Quanjun has entered the ambush circle of our army, and he will soon be in the city!"

"Oh? Tell all armies to get ready, and watch my signal act! ”

"No!" Lu Rui and Man Chong glanced at each other, Sun Quan, sure enough, it's here!

"Yuhei? You see, Guangling City seems to be guarding against emptiness? Sun Quan saw that there were only a few big flags floating on Guangling City, and vaguely saw a few soldiers patrolling the city. Seeing Guangling's defense, Sun Quan was excited in his heart, it seems that Chen Deng really took people and horses to collect grain and grass, Guangling's defense is so empty, Chen Yuanlong? I want revenge!

"Second son?" Looking at the excited Sun Quan, Zhou Tai screamed and pulled Sun Quan back to reality.

"Youping, send someone to touch the underground of the city gate, and then the cloud echelon will prepare to attack Guangling!"

"Yes, Second Son!"

Zhou Tai's lieutenant general led his troops to slowly approach the city of Guangling. "Ready, throw the rope, send someone to climb up!" The adjutant commanded the soldiers in a whisper.

With a clang, several ropes of the Jiangdong Army hung on Guangling City.

"Berning, Master Hou, it's time for us to go out!" In the silent night sky, hearing such a crisp sound, Chen Deng knew that the Jiangdong Army was approaching!

The three of them walked out of the arrow tower on the city tower and looked into the distance, Sun Quan's army had entered the encirclement!

"Quick, quick!" The lieutenant general held a long sword and urged his soldiers to climb the tower.

Just as he was about to ascend the tower, the rope was suddenly cut! "Ahh Yes! Yes! "The soldiers of the Jiangdong Army who landed in the city fell from the city tower dozens of meters high and were crushed to pieces!

"Throw!" Chen Dengjun gave an order, and the soldiers lurking on the city wall hurriedly picked up the boulder in their hands and threw it towards the city.

"Put!" Chen Deng gave another military order, and the crossbowmen and archers rushed out and fired at the enemy troops below the city.

Torches suddenly lit up on the city tower, illuminating the entire Guangling City!

"Hit the mark! Hit the trick! The Jiangdong army, who was close to the city tower, realized that they had been tricked and hurriedly fled in all directions, but unfortunately, many of them became dead souls under the arrow.

"Youping!" Sun Quan also saw the changes in Guangling City, and his former army was completely wiped out!

"Hahahaha, Jiangdong Sun Thief, you have fallen for my family's plan to guard the lord, Xu Du's reinforcements have already arrived in Guangling, you wait for death!" The two messengers shouted in unison, snatched the weapons of the guards, and slew Sun Quan.

"Die!" Zhou Tai waved his big knife and killed the two!

"Run, you've been tricked!" The Jiangdong army was in chaos and fled in all directions.

"Steady! Steady!" Sun Quan drew his long sword and slashed an escaped soldier!

"Rush!" Chen Dengjun ordered, Guangling City rushed out of the Danyang dead soldiers, to attack the Jiangdong Army, the Jiangdong Army after a night of rapid marching, already very tired, encountered the Danyang dead soldiers, even more vulnerable, many people ran back before they could fight!

"Second son, look!"

Following the direction of Zhou Tai's finger, Sun Quan found that there were fires in the northwest and northeast of Guangling, and there were troops to kill, wasn't it just Xu Du? Xuzhou also sent reinforcements?

"General, our left army has fallen into a trap!"

"General, our right army encountered thistles, and the soles of the soldiers' feet were pierced, and the right army was defeated!"

"General, a large number of cavalry in the rear army has attacked, and they can't resist it!"

Cavalry? I saw that a cavalry team was killed in the rear of the Jiangdong Army, about 500 people, extremely brave, and it was already about to kill the Chinese army!

"Second son?" Seeing so many cavalry, Zhou Tai was also stunned for a moment, you must know that Gongsun Zhan's white horse is only 3,000 elites, and a few hundred cavalry is a lot of cavalry for the Jiangdong Army!

"Quick, give the order to the whole army, leave the baggage, and withdraw the army to the west!" Sun Quan reined in his horse and ran west with his own soldiers.

"Brothers, protect the second son and kill it!" Zhou Tai also took his own soldiers to cover Sun Quan's retreat.

'Second son! Be careful! Zhou Tai supported Sun Quan on the horse from behind.

"Youping?" Sun Quan looked around in embarrassment, this is a small river, and the opposite bank is west to the Lianghuai waters, where there are boats to meet them.

With the support of his own soldiers, Sun Quan dismounted and prepared to rest. Sitting on the big stone by the river, Sun Quan counted the sergeants around him, 20,000 troops, and now there are less than 200 people with him!

Looking at Sun Quan's depressed appearance, Zhou Tai persuaded: "Second son, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, today's army is a rabble of Jiangdong families, and our army is guilty of defeating North African generals." In the coming day, after the training of my Jiangdong New Army, I will raise troops to avenge this! ”

"What Youping said is reasonable!"

"General, no, there's a squad of cavalry chasing after you!"

Before Sun Quan could take a breath, Dian Wei chased after him with his cavalry. "This?"

"The second son quickly crosses the bridge! Youping leads people to block the enemy army! ”

"Youping?"

"Second son, go quickly!"

"Take care!" Sun Quan mounted his horse and crossed the bridge with more than a dozen of his own soldiers.

Click! As soon as Sun Quan crossed the small bridge, Zhou Tai cut off the only bridge to cross the river.

"Charge!" Dian Wei chased after him with cavalry, and at the beginning, he gave Zhou Tai's army a cavalry charge.

Zhou Tai's personal soldiers were solved by the cavalry before they even arrived in a round. More than a hundred cavalry surrounded Zhou Tai in the middle.

"Slow!" Dian Wei ordered the soldiers to stop in the Chinese army, and saw that Zhou Tai had multiple knife wounds on his body, but he still had undiminished fighting spirit, which was really interesting.

Dian Wei jumped off the horse, came to Zhou Tai, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"Jiujiang Zhoutai!"

"Seeing that you are also a man, why don't you surrender to our army and protect your achievements?"

"Fart, although I, Zhou Tai, was born a river thief, but I am also a loyal and righteous person, let me betray the Lord and seek glory, delusional!"

"Good! Let me give you a ride! Dian Wei jumped up and flew towards Zhou Tai.

Zhou Tai was stunned, this fat man is vigorous! Before Zhou Tai could react, Dian Wei's double halberd had already arrived in front of Zhou Tai.

Zhou Tai hurriedly resisted with a knife. Fight hard! After a night of fierce fighting, Zhou Tai's physical exertion, and his own strength was not as good as Dian Wei's, Dian Wei picked it hard, and Zhou Tai's big knife flew out, and with a stroke, Zhou Tai's abdomen left a blood stain.

"I'll fight with you!" Zhou Tai drew his sword and rushed towards Dian Wei.

"Interesting!" Dian Wei held a double halberd and fought against Zhou Tai.

The two sides went back and forth, dozens of rounds, Zhou Tai was hit by Dian Wei's halberd again, but he still fought hard, Dian Wei didn't notice that Zhou Tai had retreated to the river.

With a bang, the two of them fought hard again, and both of them bounced out.

How can this person have such stamina? When Dian Wei saw Zhou Tai, he was secretly surprised, if it was other generals, they would have died of anger, but Zhou Tai still had the ability to resist?

With a plop, Zhou Tai took advantage of Dian Wei's inattention, jumped into the river, and jumped into the river.

"Grandma's, cheated!" Dian Wei shouted.

"General? Are we still chasing it? ”

"Chasing? You jumped into the river? Retire and go back to Guangling! ”

"See Master Hou!"

"Evil? Can Sun Quan ever be captured? ”

"Master Hou, his subordinates are incompetent and failed to capture Sun Quan." Subsequently, Dian Wei told him about his encounter with Zhou Tai.

Grandma's, it turned out that she met the immortal Xiaoqiang Zhou Tai, and she was really a master of the knife, and she was abused like that and protected Sun Quan and ran away!

"Master Hou, this matter is not all to blame, there are also many capable people in Jiangdong, and it is the will of heaven that Sun Quan fled back to Jiangdong!" Full pet persuaded on the side.

"Well, evil comes, get up, don't blame yourself, if Sun Quan is killed by you, there will be no one in Jiangdong!"

"Thank you, Master Hou!"

It's a sunny day! It's another good weather, come out to practice and breathe.

"Master Hou, Lord Chen sent someone to invite Master Hou to the main hall to discuss matters!" Diao Chan walked slowly and handed Lu Rui a piece of silk cloth.

"yes, got it!" Chen Deng must have something important to find himself, and after bathing and changing clothes, Lu Rui came to the main hall.

"Berning has arrived, too?"

"Master Hou!"

"What is Yuanlong looking for the two of us?" Seeing that Man Chong was also here, Lu Rui was even more sure that this matter was related to Cao Jun, not a private matter between himself and Chen Deng.

"Master Hou, Berning, please come forward and take a look!"

"This is a secret report sent back by the spies, according to the route of the Jiangdong Army's march this time, the Jiangdong Army landed from here, and Yuanlong wants to go with the two of you to have a look!"

"Okay, full of favors and willing to walk with Yuanlong!"

"Ben Hou also went with Yuanlong to take a look!" Then the three of them prepared dry food and took their own soldiers out of Guangling City.

After a few days of travel, the three finally arrived at the place where Sun Quan landed, where there were still some anchors left by the Jiangdong army.

"If you look at it, this must be the place where the Jiangdong Army landed!"

"Where is this?" Chen Deng asked a soldier who was familiar with geography.

"My lord, this place is called Hefei, it is the land of Yangzhou County, please look, there is Hefei City!"

Hefei? This is Hefei, which later became an important town of Wei? Isn't this a broken city? Lu Rui thought to himself.

"Is it Shouchun in Yangzhou over there?" Man Zhong pointed to a city in the distance and asked the army.

"Exactly, Lord Man, that's Shouchun!"

"Yuanlong, please see, here is the Yangtze River in the south, there are many rivers nearby, the terrain is dangerous, suitable for defense, but the south ship and the north horse, if the Jiangdong Army relies on the advantage of the navy, occupy this place, as a landing place, the north can attack my Yangzhou counties, the east can enter Xuzhou Huaisi, and the west is the Yuzhou counties!"

"Well, what Bo Ning said is reasonable, but after a long war, Hefei City has been dilapidated, and there are no heavy troops to garrison it, so we should go to the book Lord Sikong to rebuild Hefei City and strengthen it to block the Jiangdong thieves."

"What Yuan Long said is very true!"

"What if the Jiangdong Army relies on the superiority of the water army to suppress Hefei City?" Lu Rui touched his head and asked the two.

"Oh?" The two looked at each other for a moment, and then it dawned on them.

"Master Hou is really smart! There is only one city, I am afraid that the Jiangdong army can not be stopped, our army should build a new city and the old city as an angle to each other, in this way, Hefei is impregnable! Chen Deng stroked his palm.

"Yuanlong is polite, this marquis is just a whim!" Alas, another theft of patents, this is the suggestion of the two of you.

"Well, according to Boning, you can build a new city under the hill in the west and block the Jiangdong Army!"

"Boning, Yuanlong doesn't agree, Yuanlong thinks that a new city should be built by the waters in the east to block the Jiangdong army!"

"This?" The two had a disagreement.

"Yuanlong, Boning, according to Ben Hou, you are all reasonable, Ben Hou thinks that according to the suggestions of Ben Ning and Yuan Long, two new cities can be built, Hefei East City and Hefei West City, and Hefei Old City are each other's corners, and the three cities rely on each other, how can the Jiangdong Army cross this place?"

"What Master Hou said is very true, I will return to Guangling as soon as possible, write a statement, and present it to Lord Sikong!" After exploring the surrounding terrain, the three returned to Guangling.

"Master Hou, your bags have been packed!"

"Well, Diao Chan, put your bags in the carriage, and when Berning comes, we can go!" Lao Cao Zhaomanzhong and Lu Rui returned to Xudu, and Gongsun Zhan was besieged by soldiers in Yijing, I am afraid that he will not be able to hold on.

"Master Hou?"

"Berning is here? Let's say goodbye to Yuanlong and return to Xudu! ”

"Yes, Master Hou.

"Butler, where's Lord Chen?" Seeing that Chen Deng was not in the mansion, Lu Rui asked the housekeeper suspiciously.

"Lord Chen has gone outside the city, if the two adults want to see Lord Chen, they must go outside the city."

Man Zhong and Lu Rui came to the suburbs, and Chen Deng was going to grave someone?

"Yuanlong?" Today is not a day of sacrifice, Chen Deng came here to go to the grave?

"Yuanlong, what is this?"

"Master Hou, Deng is worshipping the souls of the dead!" Lu Rui saw the names of the two on the tombstone.

"What is the relationship between these two and Yuanlong?" Seeing Yuanlong so sad, Lu Rui wondered in his heart, could it be that his relatives died?

"Hou Ye, Boning, these two are messengers sent by Yuanlong, they were killed by Sun Quan, the two of them sacrificed their lives for righteousness, so that Guangling could be preserved, and Dent came to worship!"

"I see!" No wonder there are only names on the stele, no other inscriptions, it turns out to be a new stele.

After hearing this, Man Zhong and Lu Rui also paid homage to the messenger's tombstone, which can be regarded as worshipping the two on behalf of the people of Guangling!
