The 60th Battle of Eastern Wu and Southern Han Dynasty Drove Cao Wei to the Central Plains Unification (9)

Lu Su saw that Sima Yi was unwilling to go to Yangzhou and had no choice, after all, the army was dominated by Sima Yi. At this time, Lu Su could only order someone to send a message to Sun Quan quickly and let Sun Quan decide.

The messenger came to Jianye and presented the letter. Sun Quan was shocked when he saw the letter, and hurriedly asked the generals: "Zijing came to the letter, and the state, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou were all lost." Although Cao Wei and Sima Zhongda had sent troops, they were only willing to sit in Yanzhou and refused to come to the rescue, so they ordered us to go to the convergence. What do you think? ”

Zhang Zhao said: "Outside the city, Nanye attacked the city day and night with a thunderbolt car, if the reinforcements did not arrive, the city would be broken only in the morning and evening. Your Majesty, why shouldn't Zijing go to Yanzhou and work with Sima Zhongda to break Nanye's army. ”

Zhou Tai said: "Your Majesty can't! Jiangdong is where His Majesty's foundation is located, and it is easy to abandon the city at this time, but it is difficult to regain the construction industry in the future! ”

Zhang Hong said: "The current survival is only in the blink of an eye. If we don't leave, we will all die here, how can we talk about regaining the inheritance? In my opinion, I should save my life first, and then do other things. Now that Xuzhou has been lost, Yuzhou is in danger, and I don't know when Lu Ziming can hold it. If we wait for Yuzhou to fall, it will be difficult for us to leave! ”

Zhou Tai couldn't help but be furious when he saw that a group of Wenchen just wanted to save their lives, and it was this group of Wenchen who wanted to surrender to Cao Cao before the Battle of Chibi, thanks to Zhou Yu's main battle, which defeated Cao Cao. Thinking of this, Zhou Tai said to Sun Quan: "This matter is not trivial, why doesn't Your Majesty ask Zhou Dudu for a plan?" ”

Sun Quan didn't want to trouble Zhou Yu, but now that Dongwu is in danger, Sun Quan can't care so much, and he can't hide Zhou Yu if he abandons the city anyway. Sun Quan knew that Zhou Yu was seriously ill, and he did not announce that Zhou Yu would go to the palace, but led Wenwu to Zhou Yu's mansion together, called visiting the patient, which was really a plan.

When he heard that Sun Quan led a group of civil and military forces to come, he knew that it was not good, and when he heard Sun Quan's intention to come and learned that the six states of Eastern Wu had lost three states, he fainted with anger.

Everyone was shocked when they saw this, and Sun Quan hurriedly called left and right to wake up Zhou Yu. After Zhou Yu woke up slowly, he sighed and said: "Sima Yi is reluctant to enter the army, because he is worried that Nanye is secretly hiding soldiers and horses to take Ji and Youerzhou. Ziming's retreat to Xuchang was not a long-term solution, and sooner or later it was broken by Nan Ye. Reinforcements do not arrive, Yuzhou retreats and loses, Jianye is a lonely city, and we are all in danger. Your Majesty can lead the troops to leave quickly, and the ministers are willing to stop Nanye's troops here. ”

Sun Quan burst into tears when he heard this: "Gong Jin can go with me to plan for the future." ”

Zhou Yu shook his head with a pale face and said with a wry smile: "I don't want to serve the country loyally, but my destiny is over." Rather than running all the way and dying halfway, it is better to stay in the city and be loyal to His Majesty. Nanye Guoshi uses soldiers like gods, but I am afraid that Sima Zhongda is not an opponent, if Yanzhou is lost, His Majesty can go to the land of Sanhan and Goguryeo to make another map. ”

After saying this, Zhou Yu seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and he breathed a sigh of relief and said to Zhongwen Wu: "You wait to be a good Your Majesty, and you will achieve great things together in the future." ”

Everyone wept when they heard this, and they all said yes. According to Zhou Yu's plan, Sun Quan ordered the city sergeant to prepare secretly. On the third watch that night, Sun Quan opened the city under the banner of Zhou Tai.

When Nan Ye heard that he had come to report that Zhou Tai was out of the city, he mistakenly thought that Sun Quan wanted to steal the camp, so he ordered his soldiers to prepare for an ambush. But after waiting for a long time, Zhou Taibing didn't come. Nan Ye showed his skills, but saw that Zhou Tai had already led the troops far away, not only that, but Sun Quan, Zhang Zhao and others were also in the army, which surprised Nan Ye.

Nan Ye couldn't guess why Sun Quan left the city late at night, so he asked Yu Guo Jiadao: "The Wu army has already left the city at the right time, and Sun Quan, Zhang Zhao and other generals are all in the army, and they don't know where to go." What does Bonghyo think? ”

Guo Jia knew that Nan Ye had thaumaturgy, so it was not strange to hear that Sun Quan was in the army, and after a little thought, he said: "Sun Quan used a plan to get rid of the golden cicada. Presumably, Sun Quan learned that Qingzhou and Xuzhou had been lost, and did not dare to stay here anymore, and wanted to join forces with Cao Wei to fight against our army. ”

Hearing this, Nan Ye nodded and said, "In that case, we will lead the troops to chase after him." If Sun Quan can be captured, Jianye will be self-defeating. ”

Guo Jia dissuaded: "The national teacher can't, if we wait to chase Sun Quan, the soldiers and horses in Jianye City will cut off my grain route, and our army will be in danger." Now that Sun Quan has gone, there are not many soldiers and horses in the city, why don't the national teachers take the city first, and then chase Sun Quan. ”

Nan Ye thought that what Guo Jia said was good, and he didn't wait for the dawn, so he ordered his soldiers to light torches, set up cloud ladders, and attack the city overnight. Zhou Yu ordered people to carry himself to the head of the city to personally supervise the battle and defend the city, but the soldiers of the Southern Han Dynasty attacked all night but could not break the city.

At dawn the next day, Gao Shun saw that the soldiers of the Southern Han Dynasty could not enter the city, so he asked Nan Ye for battle: "National teacher, the last general is willing to lead the camp to the city." ”

Nan Ye originally thought that as soon as Sun Quan left, Jianye would be able to take it easily, so he did not use the trapping camp and the Tengjia army. However, the attack still failed to break the city after one night, which made Nan Ye more careful, and only after casting the skill did he know that Zhou Yu was defending the city himself. At this time, listening to Gao Shun's invitation to fight, Nan Ye didn't know whether to agree or not.

Guo Jia held a telescope on the side and observed for a long time, and said without waiting for Nan Ye to speak: "General Gao doesn't need to be anxious, Zhou Yu was carried to the city, I'm afraid he is already terminally ill." We don't have to attack, as long as we feint day and night, Zhou Yu's life will not be long. ”

Nan Ye knew how powerful Zhou Yu was, and he was also afraid that Zhou Yu would fight to the death of the net, so he used the rogue trick of setting fire to the city, dragging the soldiers and horses of the Southern Han Dynasty to the end. So according to Guo Jia's plan, he feinted day and night.

Zhou Yu was already very ill, and he guarded the city day and night to supervise the army, and fainted several times for three days. On the night of the third day, Zhou Yu slowly woke up from his coma, looked up to the sky and sighed: "Both Shengyu and He Shengye!" He screamed several times and died. He was 36 years old......

Later generations have poems that sigh: "Chibi is majestic, and young people have handsome voices." The string song knows the elegant meaning, the glass of wine Xie Liangpeng, once told 3,000 Hu, and often drove 100,000 soldiers. Jianye's life, relying on the desire to hurt. ”

Although Zhou Yu died, he ordered the soldiers to keep it secret, and the layout of the city head was as if he was alive, wanting to shock the Southern Han soldiers under the city. If someone else led the troops in the city, he would definitely not know that Zhou Yu was dead. But when Nan Ye searched for the star record, he knew that Zhou Yu was dead, and couldn't help but sigh and said, "Zhou Yu is dead!" Siege the city with all its might today. ”

Zhao Yun, Yang Xiong, Dian Wei, Zhou Cang, Gao Shun and other generals besieged the city on all sides after receiving the order, and the camp and the Tengjia army climbed the city wall together and killed people when they saw them. The Wu army was without a commander and asked to surrender, and the construction industry was obtained by Nan Ye in half a day.

After Nan Ye entered the city, Zhang Bang Anmin, buried Zhou Yu, and ordered Zhuge Jin, the county guard of Yangzhou, to take over the city defense, and then led the army north to pursue Sun Quan.

Just when Nanye captured Jianye, Ma Chao defeated Cao Xiu in Bingzhou to capture Jinyang, and Huang Zhong defeated LΓΌ Meng in Yuzhou to capture Xuchang. Five of the six states of Eastern Wu were acquired by Nanye, and Ma Chao and Huang Zhong also raised their own troops to Yanzhou.

However, it was said that not long after Sima Yi and Lu Su joined forces in Yanzhou, Gan Ning and Tai Shici also joined forces to enter the border of Yanzhou. On this day, Gan Ning led the troops to move forward, and suddenly reported that he had caught Dongwu in the valley and came to see him.

Gan Ning ordered the fine work to be put into the tent and kneeled in front of the tent. The person bowed and said: "The villain is not a spy, he came to see the general with a secret, and was caught by the sergeant of Fulu by mistake, please retreat for the time being." ”

There is a way that the art master is bold, and Gan Ning is not afraid of this trick when he crisscrosses the world, and orders people to go to his restraints, and temporarily retreats left and right and asks: "What do you have to report quickly." ”

He said: "The villain is Lu Zijing's confidant. He was sent by the superior to deliver the secret book. ”

Gan Ning asked, "Where is the letter?" ”

He took out the letter from the garment and presented it. Gan Ning dismantled it, and said in the book: "The guilty general Lu Su worshipped, and the book presented to General Gan and General Taishi." Eat Wu Lu, guard the border city, deeply favored, and have no way to make up for it. The national division raised troops and captured the state, although Su was resentful, he was also convinced, and only sighed that the soldiers were not as good as others. Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and they wanted to turn to Cao Wei to recapture the city, but they were mistakenly attacked by Sima Yi's plan.

Sima Xiao'er was duplicitous, saying that he would send troops to help me, but in fact he was plotting against me in Yanzhou. Now Yanzhou has been acquired by Cao Wei and is trapped in the precipice. I miss the old country and hate Cao Wei deeply! Looking at the trend of the world today, my Dongwu Prefecture and County are all lost, and they are dying. Under the command of Suning's national teacher, he did not want to be bullied by Cao Pi's betrayal of righteousness.

If the two generals are not suspicious of each other, they can come with soldiers in person. If you encounter the enemy, you can deceive the defeat, and Su should be behind, with the fire as the signal, first burn the grain and grass of the Cao army, and the two generals will turn over and cover up the killing with the army, then Sima Yi can be captured. I hope the two generals will move quickly. ”

Gan Ning was overjoyed and said: "God help me to be the first to succeed!" "Reward the person who comes, so that his reward will meet on time.

After the detailed work left, Gan Ning invited Tai Shici, Lu Xun and other generals to come to discuss the matter and tell the previous words. Lu Xun said: "Sima Yi is resourceful, Lu Su is wise, or Sima Yi is instigated, I am afraid that there will be fraud." ”

Tai Shi Ci said: "Lu Su is a smart person who can understand current affairs. As soon as Dongwu died, his people either descended to us or to Cao Wei, and there was no other way. Lu Su deeply hated Cao Wei's treachery, and felt that the army of the national division was invincible, so why did he doubt that he came to surrender to me? ”

Lu Xun said: "The two generals should not go lightly, but they can order an army to meet Lu Su." If it is the best, if there is a treacherous plan, the two generals can lead the troops to respond. ”

Gan Ning and Tai Shici didn't dare to underestimate Lu Xun's youth, Nan Ye had never made a mistake in employing people, and Lu Xun's ability to serve as a military advisor showed that his wisdom was extraordinary. So neither of them objected.

When the four generals Zhang He, Zhang Ren, Zhang Yan, and Zang Ba heard that there was a task, they asked Zhan to say: "I am willing to lead the troops to pick up Lu Su on behalf of the general." ”

Gan Ning and Tai Shi Ci saw that the four generals were so active, so they ordered the four to lead 50,000 soldiers as the outpost first. The four generals were ordered to move forward, and two days later, the horse returned: "There is Cao Jun coming in the valley road ahead." ”

Zhang He urged the troops to advance. As soon as Cao Bing saw that the Southern Han army and horses had not been engaged, they retreated first. The four generals led troops to chase after him, and Cao Bing came again. The two militaries wanted to fight, but Cao Bing retreated. If this is done three times, it will be chased to the next day. The soldiers of the Southern Han Dynasty did not dare to rest for a day and a night, and were ready to fight Cao Bing at any time.

Zhang Yan and Zang Ba are both fierce generals, and they just want to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, so they don't think much about it. Zhang Ren was a master of commanding troops, and he felt that the situation was wrong, so he discussed with Zhang He: "Cao Jun came and went so back and forth, I'm afraid it's a tired strategy." I'll set up camp and rest for a while, and then it's not too late to pursue. ”
