Chapter 431: Refusing to Speak of Loyalty, Wei and Wu Fighting
At the beginning of Wei Yan's capture of Chang'an, Zhao Shu was afraid that Cao Wei would pour the strength of the whole country to fight, so he used Lu Rong's strategy to send Yan Peng as an envoy to Jianye to ask Sun Quan to send troops, and repair Sun Quan, persuading him to claim the throne and take the name of being a teacher. Sun Quan has occupied Jiangdong for many years, but he has not been proclaimed emperor for a long time, and it is inevitable that he will be a little itchy. Knowing that Zhao Shu's move was just to ask him to send troops, Sun Quan couldn't help but be moved, so he summoned Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong and others to discuss. Everyone said that this was Zhao Shu's plan, and it was not possible; It is also said that the lord has been known as the hero of Jiangdong for decades, and it is a move that conforms to the will of heaven and the will of the people, and it is feasible. Opinions could not be unified, so Zhang Zhao asked Sun Quan to recall Jiangxia Lu Xun for questioning.
After Lu Xun arrived in Jianye, he learned about it, and strongly admonished Sun Quan, and said: "Fang is three points today, Cao Weixiong lives in the north, and the national strength is strong; Shu Han occupies Jing and Yierzhou, which has both the wealth of the country of abundance and the heroes of Jing and Chu; And Soochow is located in Jiangdong, and among the three kingdoms, the strength is the weakest. Zhao Shuxing's troops marched north and competed with Cao Wei for the world, and the lord should not move lightly, but could only sit and watch his success or failure. If Shu Han wins, the lord can advance to Runan and go north to Qingxu; If Cao Wei wins, the lord can enter Jiangling and occupy Jingzhou, and reject the Yangtze River. At this time, the Lord should recuperate, stay in hiding, and take the liberty of respect, which is not the best policy. Zhao Shuxiu wrote to the lord, but he just wanted to ask the lord to raise troops to attack Wei, not his sincerity, and he hoped that the lord would be clear. ”
There were still many people in Wuzhong who persuaded Sun Quan to ascend to the pole, but after Lu Xun's statement, they all fell over. Sun Quan originally had the intention to ascend the throne, but it was boring to have a fight, so he had to give up, and he was even more jealous of Lu Xun in his heart. Since he could not be called emperor, Sun Quan wanted to agree to Zhao Shuzhi's request and send troops to attack Wei, one to show national strength, and the other to show his prestige among the ministers. Although Lu Xun persuaded hard, Sun Quan said: "Jiangdong and Shuzhong are allies, and now Zhao Shu is fighting in Yongzhou, but he is alone but does not move, is it the reason of the alliance?" And Cao Wei's army is in Chang'an and Wancheng, and the garrison in Runan is empty, so if you don't take it at this time, when will you wait? So without Lu Xun's words, he issued an edict to the generals of Huainan, with Sun Huan as the main general, Zhu Huan and Quan Zong as the governors of the left and right, and sent troops to attack Wei.
Sun Huan has been in Huainan for many years, and he has long had the intention to go north, and when he got the edict, he immediately ordered the army and horses to kill Runan. Cao Xiu set out to conquer Wancheng, leaving Zhuge Dan as a general and Wen Qin as a deputy to guard Runan. When the two generals heard that the Wu army was coming, they gathered the generals to discuss, Wen Qin intended to hold on, but Zhuge Dan thought that the Wu army was new and should take advantage of the fact that its foothold was not stable, and led the troops out of the city to fight a decisive battle to frustrate its spirit. He is the main general in the city, Wen Qin can not argue, so he has to say: "The general is the chief general of the three armies, it is not appropriate to go out lightly, go out of the city to fight, but pay the last general." Zhuge knew his bravery, so he followed his words, ordered 3,000 elite soldiers, and went out of the city with Wen Qin to meet the Wu army.
Wen Qin's formation out of the city has been completed, and Zhu Huan of Eastern Wu arrived first, so he scolded: "Wu Gou'an dares to violate my boundary? Zhu Huan was furious when he heard this, and he didn't answer, and danced the knife to take Wen Qin directly. The two horses clashed for dozens of rounds, Zhu Huan was defeated by Wen Qin's bravery, and gradually became timid, pulling out the horse and leaving. Wen Qin then waved his troops to kill, chased not far away, and saw the Eastern Wu rear army rushing to arrive. Wen Qin had few soldiers, and he thought: The first battle had been won, which was enough to demoralize the Wu army, so he stopped chasing and killed, and collected his troops and returned to the city.
Zhuge Dan watched the battle in the city, saw Wen Qin's victory, and was about to send troops out of the city to respond, but when he saw him collect troops and return to the city, he was very unhappy in his heart, and said: "I am about to go out of the city to meet the general, why did the general retreat?" Wen Qin replied: "The Wu army is strong, and the troops in the city are insufficient, so it is better to hold on and wait for reinforcements from the imperial court." Seeing that Wen Qin was obviously victorious but refused to continue to kill the enemy, he couldn't help but said angrily: "The general has been eating the court for a long time, but he is greedy for life and afraid of death, he refuses to fight, and he also rumors confuse the public, is it not intended to surrender to the enemy?" ”
Wen Qin respects Zhuge as the main general, and his words are very polite, but he didn't expect the other party to be so inch-inch, and he actually said such a thing, and he also said: "The loyalty of the last general can be expressed every day." In today's battle, if it weren't for the last general going out of the city, how could he win such a big victory, but the general framed the last general like this, what was his intention? "The two of you said a word, and I quarreled with each other, and I was about to draw my sword and move roughly, but I was persuaded by the generals on the left and right to stop it, and they each returned to the camp.
And said that after Wen Qin returned to the account, he was angry, and his son Wen Yang was in the tent, seeing his father like this, he also said that it was for the sake of the Wu army outside the city, but he said: "Father, don't worry, tomorrow the child will raise troops to fight, Wu Dog has millions, how can the child be afraid?" "This Wen Yang's real name is Wen Shu, the small character A Yang, he is only fourteen years old, but he was born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, his strength is greater than others, and he has the courage of ten thousand people. Wen Qin has always loved his martial arts, but today he is bent on defending, but he wants to fight like Zhuge Dan, and he can't help but scold: "The son knows the military, why don't you go quickly?" Wen Yang was scolded by his father, but he was not annoyed, and retreated silently.
That night, Wen Yang led dozens of children out of the city in the dark and went to intercept the camp. Zhu Huan's self-serving troops were far superior to those in the city, and he was never on guard, and was killed by these dozens of young tigers into the camp, clashing left and right, setting fires everywhere, and suddenly there was chaos. Zhu Huan personally raised a knife to fight and collided with Wen Yang. When Wen Yang saw the other party's outfit, he knew that he was a general of Eastern Wu, and he had the intention to make meritorious contributions, and he danced his gun to take Zhu Huan directly. Zhu Huan originally deceived him at a young age, but when he fought him, he felt that this young man was excellent in martial arts and extremely powerful, and he was greatly shocked in his heart. When the two horses were crossing, Wen Yang pulled away Zhu Huan's big knife, pulled out the steel whip behind his back, and whipped it his back. Zhu Huan suddenly vomited blood, so frightened that his soul did not possess his body, abandoned his weapon, and left with a saddle. The left and right henchmen hurriedly stepped forward to rescue each other, and barely escaped with their lives. Seeing its defeat, the Wu army did not know how many Wei troops there were in the dark, and they had no intention of fighting, so they broke up. Zhu Huan was seriously injured and couldn't be suppressed, so he had to lead the remnants of the soldiers to see Sun Huan for help.
Wen Yang and others rushed to kill in the Wu camp all night, beheading hundreds, and when it was dawn, there were still more than ten horsemen left, and then slowly returned to the city. There was a fierce battle outside the city all night, and Zhuge Dan, Wen Qin and others were alarmed, but they didn't know where the military horses were, and they didn't dare to go out of the city to respond. Seeing Wen Yang and the others turn around, Wen Qin was angry and happy, and hurriedly ordered someone to open the city gate, and was about to open his mouth to reprimand, but the soldiers of the Wei army on the left and right had already shouted Wen Yang's name. Wen Qin also felt very relieved to have a son like this, so he had to swallow the words back into his stomach and join hands with his son.
All the generals in the city came to congratulate, but only Zhuge Dan had a blue face, standing far away, and refused to step forward. Wen Qin was in a good mood at this time, and he had the heart to turn the war into a jade silk, so he walked to Zhuge Dan with Wen Yang and said: "The dog went out of the city to destroy the enemy, all thanks to the blessing of the general." He had a good intention, but in Zhuge Dan's ears, it was a great ridicule, and he couldn't help but say angrily: "Come on, take down Wenyang." Although the left and right guards were puzzled, they could only step forward as ordered. Wen Yang wanted to resist, but was stopped by his father's eyes, so he had to shout: "Not guilty." ”
