163 Wisdom, faith, benevolence, courage and strictness
Fortunately, the cabin of Guan Ting's small boat was surrounded by thick cowhide, so as not to be shot through, and the two big boats behind him were not optimistic, although the soldiers raised their shields, dozens of people were injured by arrows and fell into the surging river, and since then they have been dying.
Just when Guan Ting's team was stagnant due to the overwhelming rain of arrows, Ling Tong obviously didn't want to fight, and shouted orders to open the boat, and on both sides of the cabin, countless oars immediately stretched out, and the big ship turned its bow and drove towards the opposite shore.
Guan Ting, who came out of the cabin, almost exploded her lungs when she saw this situation, and once again ignored the order to the soldiers to pursue, but in the end she was not as fast as the opponent's big ship, and gradually opened up the distance.
"Ting'er, don't chase anymore, hurry back!" Wang Baoyu grabbed Guan Ting in fright, and wanted to kneel for her.
"I'm so angry, I can't run away from this guy!"
"Ting'er, we are not their opponents, you are tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, making a senseless sacrifice, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to be responsible for the lives of your brothers!"
"This, but Ling Tong is really hateful, if you don't capture this guy, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart!" Guan Tingyu's teeth rattled.
"Don't you see the fire on the other side? There must have been a large number of warships there. Ting'er, listen to me, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, let's think long-term. Wang Baoyu reminded.
Guan Ting let out a long sigh, finally gave up the pursuit, and ordered the bow of the ship to be turned around and headed towards Jiangxia City. Wang Baoyu also breathed a sigh of relief, and finally persuaded Guan Ting to turn back.
After a lot of effort, Zhang Shuo's body was finally salvaged, according to the tradition at this time, the general was naturally not allowed to abandon the corpse, which could be regarded as giving Huang Zu a big face.
Zhang Shuo was stabbed with a big hole in his chest, his eyes were wide open, his mouth was slightly open, and he died a miserable death, but Wang Baoyu still smelled a little alcohol on his body and deduced the situation at that time.
Ling Tong took Guan Ting's lead contact as a cover and boarded the big ship, Zhang Shuo, who was getting drunk, was very vigilant, and was very happy to see the reinforcements coming, and even Zhang Luo invited Ling Tong to drink.
Ling Tong poured Zhang Shuo a lot of wine until his waist and legs were weak and his eyes were blurred, and then he took advantage of his unpreparedness and killed him in one fell swoop. It's just that this qiē god didn't know it, and there were thousands of soldiers under Zhang Shuo, and no one knew about it when it happened.
"Baoyu, this time it has affected Huang Zu, I am really ashamed of the general." Guan Ting said gloomily.
"You listen to me, don't say that you met Ling Tong before, otherwise, Huang Zu will be annoyed, and only say that when he saw something unusual in the big ship, he rushed over to help." Wang Baoyu advised.
"Big brother often teaches me that I should be open-minded and open-minded, how can I deceive Huang Zu?" Guan Ting looked embarrassed.
"Presumably, Second Brother Guan must have taught you to do it when you see the opportunity, right? As a general, wisdom, faith, benevolence, courage and strictness, the first thing is to have wisdom. Wang Baoyu persuaded hard.
Guan Ting was finally shaken, but still said hesitantly: "There are many people who know about this matter, how can you hide it?" ”
"It's a war, true and false, false and real, if there is news, you will insist that this is Jiangdong's divisive plan." Wang Baoyu gave advice.
After Wang Baoyu finished speaking, Guan Ting looked at him straightly, her expression was very complicated, Wang Baoyu was furious in her heart, touched her face and asked, "What's wrong, there is dead blood splashed on your face?" ”
"Baoyu, if you hadn't come with you, Ting'er would have died!" Guan Ting said with emotion.
Fortunately, in the conversation with Ling Tong, only the people on this small boat know that Deng Dazhuang and Jiao Xiaoyi are Guan Ting's brainless fans, and they would rather die than betray Guan Ting, not to mention Fan Jinqiang, they all listened to Wang Baoyu's orders, and the two maids had been hiding in the cabin, and they didn't know anything at all, and even if they knew, they didn't understand what was going on outside, let alone who was who.
After walking for about five miles, we approached the riverside defense of Jiangxia City, where two high cliffs stood on both sides, and the middle was concave, which was a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Listening to Guan Ting, this place is called Chukou, which is the base camp of Huang Zu in front of the enemy, seeing that a ship is approaching, a big boat immediately greeted him, Guan Ting immediately drank the big boat and drove the small boat to meet it.
I saw a man in his forties with a black face and a black beard standing on the big boat, dressed in a military uniform, with blazing eyes, and also holding a big knife in his hand.
Looking at this picture, this person must be the leading general, Guan Ting hugged her fists and said: "Xinye Guan Ting, come to support!" ”
"The last general, thank you for your unrelenting help!" The black-faced man arched his hand gratefully.
"The general doesn't need to be polite, since he is also Liu Jingzhou's general, he should join forces to fight the enemy."
"General Guan, it can be seen that Zhang Shuo, the pioneer of patrolling the river." Chen asked.
"Alas, General Zhang is here." Guan Ting sighed and pointed to the cabin behind her.
Chen looked puzzled, why Zhang Shuo followed Guan Ting and the others over first, and while talking, Deng Dazhuang and Jiao Xiaoyi moved Zhang Shuo's body out of the cabin.
"Brother Zhang Shuo!" As soon as Chen saw Zhang Shuo's corpse, he immediately burst into tears.
"General Chen's festival mourned, Zhang Shuo's ship was attacked by Ling Tong, we did not hesitate to fight hard, and hundreds of soldiers were killed and wounded, but we still ran away from Ling Tong, only to retrieve General Zhang's body." Guan Ting said apologetically.
"Chen thanked General Guan." Chen wiped a handful of tears, bowed deeply, and then pointed to the other side of the river and scolded angrily: "Ling Tong'er, Chen will definitely take your head and pay tribute to General Zhang." ”
Wang Baoyu sighed slightly, history has long been doomed, Huang Zu will inevitably be defeated this time, and what revenge to talk about is just a momentary heroic fantasy.
"Who is this?" Chen wiped away his tears, pointed at Wang Baoyu and asked, because this kid doesn't wear armor, but he has always been with Guan Ting, but he has never heard of this person, and he doesn't know what to call him.
Guan Ting hurriedly said: "This is my staff officer of the army, Wang Ba Wang Baoyu." ”
Chen and Wang Baoyu hurriedly bowed to each other.
It is the entrance of the Han River into the Yangtze River, the location is extremely dangerous, and it is only a dozen miles away from Jiangxia City.
After Chen sent someone to pick up Zhang Shuo's body, he led Guan Ting and his party to see Huang Zu. When Huang Zu heard that Liu Bei had come to help, he was in a good mood and immediately set up a banquet in the big tent to entertain him.
There is a saying that the mountains are eaten by the mountains and the water is draught, and the banquets are mostly based on the fish produced in the river.
Wang Baoyu's identity as a staff officer with the army was also invited.
Huang Zu is nearly sixty years old, wearing a purple robe, his face is cross-faced, his beard is unkempt, and he can barely see his mouth clearly, his expression is quite haggard, his eyes are blank, it can be seen that in the face of Sun Quan's attack, he also feels a lot of pressure.
"I heard that Liu Xuande is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and today I saw General Guan come to help, so I know that this is true." Huang Zu raised his glass and said politely.
