The 60th Battle of Eastern Wu and Southern Han Dynasty Drove Cao Wei to the Central Plains Unification (27)

Sun Shangxiang knew in his heart that Lu Fan was just comforting himself, not to mention whether Sun Quan would lead the troops to rescue, even if Sun Shangxiang came, he was not sure to lead more than 100 servants and maids to rush out of the military camp of the 100,000 army of the Southern Han Dynasty. So Sun Shangxiang didn't say anything, and let Lu Fan leave, ready to die in his heart.

Nan Ye has been ordering people to keep an eye on Sun Shangxiang's every move for the past two days, and he has not relaxed his vigilance. What Nan Ye is most afraid of is that Sun Shangxiang will take a hundred female soldiers to decapitate him, even if he can't kill himself, killing Guo Jia and Pang Tong is enough to kill. However, after staring at it for two days, Nan Ye found that although Sun Shangxiang was walking around the camp, he never approached the tent of the commander of the Chinese army, which made Nan Ye feel relieved. As long as Sun Shangxiang didn't have the intention of assassinating the senior general, Nan Ye felt that her hundred maids couldn't make too many waves.

After Sun Shangxiang left, he waited for an opportunity. On the second watch that night, Sun Shangxiang ordered his servants and soldiers to be divided into two teams, the soldiers went to burn grain and grass, and Sun Shangxiang led the servants to burn the thunderbolt car. The main goal of this camp is to burn the camp, followed by grain and grass, but for the Southern Han army, grain and grass are the most important. Therefore, if two places catch fire at the same time, Nan Ye must save the grain and grass first, which can ensure the smooth progress of the plan to burn the thunderbolt.

The two teams of men and horses concealed sesame oil and ignited fire, and they came to the rear camp respectively. Although Nan Ye sent people to secretly spy on Sun Shangxiang, he did not let anyone stop Sun Shangxiang from walking around the camp. So Sun Shangxiang's two teams soon came to the target position.

The soldiers guarding the thunderbolt and other weapons did not dare to stop Sun Shangxiang when they saw it, these defenders knew that Sun Shangxiang was going to marry the national teacher tomorrow, and no one wanted to find this bad luck at this time. However, the defenders let Sun Shangxiang go, but Sun Shangxiang couldn't let go of the defenders, she secretly gestured to the female soldiers, and the female soldiers behind her swarmed up, gagging and tying up several soldiers who were guarding the camp.

These guards are all ordinary sergeants, although they can be called elite compared to Wu and Wei, but they do not have the ability to fight ten against one, and they all became prisoners of Sun Shangxiang when things happened suddenly. Another group of soldiers who went to burn grain and grass also did the same, tying up the soldiers guarding the camp. They didn't kill these soldiers because of Sun Shangxiang's instructions, and Sun Shangxiang did this to survive in death.

The meticulous work that secretly monitored Sun Shangxiang saw that Sun Shangxiang had kidnapped people and entered the baggage camp, and knew that things were not good, but he was not sure what Sun Shangxiang's purpose was. If Sun Shangxiang kills someone, Xizuo will definitely call the soldiers to take Sun Shangxiang down. But Sun Shangxiang didn't hurt anyone, so he didn't know what to do, so he could only report to Nan Ye first according to Nan Ye's instructions before, and then make a decision.

Nan Ye really hadn't fallen asleep at this time, he had long felt that Lu Fan and Sun Shangxiang's purpose was not pure, but he didn't grasp the handle. Seeing that he was going to marry a concubine in the camp tomorrow, Nan Ye really didn't know whether to marry Sun Shangxiang or not. If he said that he would not marry, he had already agreed to Lu Fan and Sun Shangxiang. But if he marries, Nan Ye also has a pimple in his heart, after all, the two have no emotional foundation, it is just a political marriage, who knows if Sun Shangxiang will do something after marriage?

Just when Nan Ye was tossing and turning, Zhou Cang, who was guarding the tent, said outside the tent: "The national teacher wakes up, and there is something important to report on Sun Shangxiang's meticulous work." ”

Nan Ye was shocked when he heard this, in the past two days, for the safety of himself and his subordinates, the soldiers guarding the Chinese army have been replaced by mage guards and trapping camps. Sun Shangxiang walked in the camp, and ordinary soldiers did not dare to intercept him, but the iron-faced and selfless Gao Shun did not have to give Sun Shangxiang face, and Dian Wei and Zhou Cang took turns to guard the Nanye tent in case of accidents. At this time, when he heard the detailed report, Nan Ye was busy making detailed accounts.

After entering the account, he said: "Back to the national teacher, Princess Shangxiang will leave the camp tonight, and divide the troops into two ways to go to the back village." One of them entered the grain and grass camp, and Princess Shangxiang personally led all the way into the military baggage camp and tied up the soldiers guarding the camp. I saw that something was abnormal, so I came to tell the national teacher. ”

Nan Ye was stunned when she heard this, and she didn't think about what Sun Shangxiang was going to do, if she said that she wanted to set fire to the grain but went to the weapons camp in person, it was unrealistic to say that she wanted to steal the pattern of the thunderbolt car, because the drawings were not in the weapons camp, and there were only finished products of the thunderbolt in the camp, and Sun Shangxiang couldn't steal it. Nan Ye couldn't figure it out for himself, so he ordered: "Command the generals, and the handsome account will be discussed!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Cang, who was guarding the account, entered the account and said: "The national teacher is not good!" Fire broke out in the grain and grass camp and the ordnance camp! ”

As soon as Nan Ye heard it, he knew that it was Sun Shangxiang's ghost, and he was so angry in his heart that it seemed that this little girl really didn't have a good heart. However, Nan Ye was not too anxious, because Sun Shangxiang only had more than 200 people under his command, and even if he set it on fire, he would not be able to cause chaos in the camp. At this time, what he was most afraid of was that the Wu and Wei armies took advantage of the chaos to attack, so he ordered: "Order Zhao Yun and Yang Xiong to lead the headquarters to fight the fire, and Ma Chao and Pang De secretly prepare to prevent the Wu and Wei armies, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan from leading troops to strictly guard the camp, so that the soldiers should not panic." ”

Zhou Cang was ordered to go, and soon sent an order to the army. Nan Ye got up and went to the Shuai Tent, and Guo Jia, Pang Tong and others also gathered at the Shuai Tent to wait for the results.

After everyone waited for a long time, they saw Zhao Yun with a strange face and said: "Back to the national teacher, all the men and horses under the command of Princess Shangxiang have surrendered, half of the grain and grass have been burned, the thunderbolts in the military camp have been burned, and the rest of the weapons are fine, and none of the soldiers have been killed or injured." Princess Shangxiang wanted to meet the national teacher in person, and she said something important. ”

Nan Ye really didn't know what Sun Shangxiang was going to do, so he didn't run away after setting the fire, and surrendered directly. Since he couldn't figure it out, Nan Ye didn't want to bother with it, so he directly ordered: "Since that's the case, I'll bring her to see me." ”

After Zhao Yun got the order, he brought Sun Shangxiang into the account. Sun Shangxiang did not fight Zhao Yun, and surrendered with the maid after burning the thunderbolt car. Zhao Yun didn't embarrass Sun Shangxiang, but just ordered someone to put out the fire first, and only came to return to Nanye after the fire was extinguished.

Nan Ye looked at Sun Shangxiang, who bowed his head and was silent, and asked, "Sun Zhongmou sent you here to burn my grain and grass?" ”

Sun Shangxiang didn't resist because he had a plan in his heart, and when he heard Nan Ye ask, he raised his head and said, "Don't hide it from the national teacher, my brother will have a life when Shang Xiang comes." If the national teacher is willing to marry and retire, the two countries will be allied. If he did not retreat, Shang Xiang would burn grain and grass and thunderbolt carts to force the national division to retreat. Shang Xiang set the fire as a last resort, and did not kill or injure the sergeants of the national division battalion. Now that the mission has been completed, the national teacher can be killed or punished, and he only asks the national teacher to let go of the sergeants under Shang Xiang. ”

Hearing this, Guo Jia sneered on the side: "In this way, it is not right for you to set fire to the camp. If the national teacher agrees to marry and form an alliance, there will be no today? ”

Sun Shangxiang naturally heard Guo Jia's sarcasm, but still nodded: "That's right!" ”

Nan Ye also understood on the side, and Sun Shangxiang explained for a long time what it meant that she subjectively did not want to burn the camp, but longed for marriage. But the grain and grass have been burned, the facts have been formed, and Nan Ye can't judge what Sun Shangxiang thinks. So Nan Ye said: "Whether you are here to burn the camp or get married." Now that he has been captured, he is a general. I have always treated my captives well, and I will not kill you. Give you two choices, one is that I will write to Sun Quan and ask him to compensate me for the loss of grain and grass, and I will let you go back. The second is that you and the others are all sincere to me, stay under my account to serve, and the burning of the camp will be written off, okay? ”

Sun Shangxiang didn't expect Nan Ye to be so easy to speak, so he couldn't help but be stunned, but after thinking about it for a while, Sun Shangxiang understood the truth. At this time, the thunderbolt and grain and grass had already been burned, and it would be useless for Nan Ye to kill himself, so it was better to surrender himself or exchange some benefits with Sun Quan.

Sun Shangxiang knew in her heart that after such a thing, Nan Ye would definitely not be able to marry her again. However, staying under Nan Ye as a general and fulfilling his dream of being a general is not bad for Sun Shangxiang. But she was afraid that after choosing to surrender, Nan Ye immediately ordered her to attack Sun Quan as the vanguard. After all, once they surrender to the generals, they must each listen to Nan Ye's dispatch for their masters. Sun Shangxiang can help Nanye fight Cao Wei, but she can't fight Dongwu.

After thinking about it for a while, Sun Shangxiang saluted and said: "Shangxiang thanked the national teacher for not killing!" Although Shang Xiang surrendered, he did not want to be an enemy of his brother. I also asked the national teacher to write a letter to my brother to redeem me to go back, so as to compensate the national teacher for the heavy grain and grass. ”

Nan Ye nodded when he heard this, Sun Shangxiang also caused some economic losses to himself this time, and did not cause casualties. Therefore, Nan Ye didn't want to be too embarrassed about a little beauty, on the one hand, because Nan Ye pitied the fragrance and cherished the jade, and on the other hand, because Nan Ye had a good relationship with Sun Jian and Sun Ce, and he didn't want to hurt Sun Shangxiang when he thought of the old love.

At the behest of Nan Ye, Guo Jia drafted a letter to the effect that Sun Quan would compensate for money and grain in exchange for Sun Shangxiang. Since Soochow was unable to compensate for the improvement of the Thunderbolt, Nan Ye converted the loss of the Thunderbolt into gold and silver in the letter, knocked Sun Quan a good sum, and waited for Sun Quan to send a ransom.

After Lu Fan returned to the camp, Sun Quan sent a scout horse to investigate the movements in Nanye's camp, and naturally knew that there was a fire in Nanye's camp at night, which made Sun Quan breathe a sigh of relief, and waited for Nanye to retreat. Unexpectedly, early the next morning, a gift-giving soldier under Lu Fan came back from the Nanye camp to deliver a letter. After Sun Quan saw the letter, he learned that Sun Shangxiang was not dead.

Sun Quan really didn't know what to do with the letter, although Nan Ye said that the lion opened his mouth to ask for money and food, but it was still within Sun Quan's bearing, and he could afford to get together, but Sun Quan didn't know whether he should come out or not. So Sun Quan consulted with Cao Pi, Sima Yi, Lu Su, and LΓΌ Meng.

After the four of them read the letter, Lu Su said: "Look at what Nan Ye said in the letter, Shang Xiang has already burned the thunderbolt car, and we are not afraid of Nan Ye's soldiers." In that case, why didn't Your Majesty redeem the royal sister to show mercy? ”

Hearing this, Sima Yi dissuaded: "Your Majesty can't! If the money and grain are sent to Nan Ye, won't Princess Shangxiang go to burn the grain in vain? What's more, what Nan Ye said in his letter may not be true, and it is unknown whether Princess Shangxiang is alive. ”

Lu Meng said: "The person who sent the letter is my sergeant, and he will never talk nonsense. In my opinion, I can exchange the grain and grass that Nan Ye asked for for gold and silver, so that I can exchange it for Shang Xiang, and I can make Nan Ye's camp short of food. ”
