Volume 3, The Battle of Red Cliffs Chapter 50, Revenge for Love
Let's go back a month.
Jingzhou, Jiangxia.
At this time, Sun Quan had successfully captured the Qiyue City garrisoned by Huang Zu and reaped all the benefits.
Sun Quan learned the lessons of the past in this expedition to the west, and appointed Zhou Yu, who was able to fight well, as the front governor, and led Dong Xi, Lü Meng, Ling Tong and other newcomers as the vanguard, and he personally led the army to follow behind, which was intended to lure Huang Zu to take the initiative to fight.
Sure enough, as Sun Quan expected, Huang Zu saw that the vanguard led by Zhou Yu was not superior in numbers, so he immediately dispatched his generals Zhang Shuo and Chen to do their best to command the naval army, intending to annihilate the Wu army's vanguard before the arrival of Sun Quan's army, so as to frustrate the opponent's spirit.
Zhou Yu is good at strategy, and Dong Xi, Lu Meng, Ling Tong and others are indomitable, although there are few soldiers, but how can they be the enemy of Huang Zu's troops?
First, Zhang Shuo, the general of Huang Zu's water army, was attacked and killed by a team of fifty people led by Ling Tong in the night. Another general, Chen Wei, was killed by Lü Mengge in a blocking battle, and the Huang Zushui army, which had lost its leader, was defeated and lost for a while.
At this time, the elite of the Frost Moon Commander of the Cloud Heavenly Kingdom mixed in the rout, and fled back to Qiyue City together, and then took advantage of the unpreparedness of the defenders to suddenly capture the city gate and let Ling Tong's troops enter the city.
Huang Zu saw that the army was defeated and the city gate had been lost, where did he dare to resist? In a hurry, he fled in the direction of Jiangling with only a few guards, but was killed by Sun Quan's subordinate Feng Ze on the way, and brought his head back to Sun Quan. At this point, Sun Quan finally got his wish, avenged the killing of his father, and consolidated his dominance; At the same time, it expanded its territory and occupied the land south of Hanshui and the Yangtze River in Jiangxia County, ensuring that the decisive battle site of the future North-South War was located in the Yunmengze area west of the Yangtze River, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
After the death of Huang Zu, Liu Qi, the successor of Jiangxia Taishou, was unable to break the balance, so he had to retire to the north of Hanshui and the Yangtze River, and confront Dongwu across the river.
It was night, in the woods not far from the city of the moon, a tall and graceful figure stood alone in it, motionless, as if cast in iron.
She is none other than the military god general Lin Shuangyue.
In the night sky, a beautiful full moon hangs. Under the soft moonlight, Frost Moon seemed to be covered with a thin veil. It's summer, and the woods are full of flying fireflies, emitting a sparkling light, which is beautiful. From time to time, the gentle breeze rustled through the treetops, like a serenade.
Being in it, Frost Moon's mood couldn't help but feel a little more relaxed.
I saw her slowly raise her right hand and separate her five fingers, and under the reflection of the moonlight, the heart-shaped ring on the ring finger of her right hand looked particularly dazzling. This heart-shaped ring was originally a pair, one was worn on Frost Moon's hand, and the other was left by Xiaoxue's side, which was a token of love between the two. At this time, a firefly actually flew on the heart-shaped ring, unwilling to leave for a long time.
Seeing it in her eyes, Frost Moon's eyes couldn't help but tremble, and she murmured softly:
"Xiaoxue, is that you?"
Perhaps disturbed by Frost Moon's voice, the firefly suddenly flapped its wings and flew into the distant sky.
Seeing this, Frost Moon couldn't help but say self-deprecatingly:
"How could this firefly be you? At this moment, your body is still lying in the cold freezer, it's all my sister's fault, and you are in such a bad situation......"
At the thought of Xiaoxue, Frost Moon's heart was as if it had been pierced by thousands of steel needles, and it was painful.
Her body trembled involuntarily, and tears poured out like a flood that burst the embankment, dripping on the ground and falling into her heart, causing ripples. Finally, Frost Moon, who was strong on the outside but weak on the inside, couldn't hold it anymore, and fell to her knees with a thud, hiding her face and crying.
Since the loss of Xiaoxue, Shuangyue has already sprouted the will to die, if it weren't for being bound by the identity of the general of the military god, I am afraid that at this time, she would have exchanged her heart for Xiaoxue to make up for her mistakes.
In the confusion of tears, Frost Moon once again saw the light of the heart-shaped ring, and at this time, the figure of a man flashed in front of her eyes, which couldn't help but make her angry.
It's all this man's fault! If it weren't for him, how could he accidentally hurt Xiaoxue? If it weren't for him, how would I have suffered? What's even more hateful is that this man also stole Xiaoxue's ring, so that this treasure that should have been a pair is now only a lonely one. Thinking of this, Frost Moon was even more angry.
I saw that Shuangyue clenched her left hand into a fist and slammed it heavily on a waist-thick tree, punch after punch, as if hitting the man, until the tree broke but still did not relieve her anger. Frost Moon, who was occupied by hatred, went crazy and tore at the broken trunk with both hands, peeling off the rough bark, and finally tearing the hard xylem apart and throwing it on the ground. It was as if the object of the tear was not the trunk of the tree, but the flesh of the man.
In her mind, that man had been killed by her a thousand times. Even after the other party died, Frost Moon had to dismantle it in eight pieces, otherwise it would be difficult to calm the boundless anger. Soon, Frost Moon's hands were drenched in blood, but she didn't feel the slightest pain, compared to mental trauma, what was the physical pain?
A full year and nine months have passed since Frost Moon issued a wanted warrant. The man was like evaporating from the world, and there was no news. At this moment, Shuangyue couldn't hold it anymore, she wanted to send a wanted warrant to the whole world, even if she dug three feet into the ground, she had to find out the man.
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps in the woods.
Hearing the sound, Shuangyue hurriedly tidied up her clothes, and then hid her bloody hands behind her, making it inconvenient to show people.
It turned out that the person who came in a hurry was Zhen Huixian, the adjutant of Frost Moon.
There was a mess all around, and Huixian saw it in her eyes, but she didn't ask much.
I saw Hui Xian saluting Frost Moon, and then reported:
"General Junshen, news came from the north that Cao Cao opened a Xuanwu Pond outside Yecheng to train the naval army, and the total number of troops gathered in the Yecheng area was about 200,000 people."
200,000, that's a lot of money! You must know that even Yuan Shao, who was in Sizhou back then, had a total strength of only 100,000 in the Battle of Guandu. Cao Cao actually gathered 200,000 troops at once, and the prosperity of his military strength can be seen. If these 200,000 troops were to the south, even Liu Biao and Sun Quan's entire force would not reach three-quarters of Cao Cao's level. It seems that Cao Cao really intends to finish his work in one battle, and from then on the world will be unified and there will be no more disputes.
But how could the Heavenly Kingdom of Clouds allow Cao Cao to go so smoothly?
Frost Moon did not hesitate, and immediately ordered:
"Hurry up and send someone to inform the relevant responsible persons of the Central Plains Military Region, the Southern Military Region, and the Eastern Military Region, and hold a meeting at the secret base in Xiangyang after a month to discuss the plan!"
"Yes!" Huixian took the order and left.
Looking at the background of Hui Xian's departure, Frost Moon's eyes became firm again. In addition to discussing the major matters of the decisive battle between the north and the south, she will also use the reason for the meeting to convey the wanted warrants for Liu Sicheng to the responsible persons of various military regions.
Thinking of this, Frost Moon put her blood-soaked hands to her lips and licked them clean with the tip of her tongue, then revealed a sneer, like a bloodthirsty demon from hell, which was creepy.
