56. Rescue prisoners of war, Jiang Ganzhi Minzhong, Yilu Meng, Zhou Yu rescue Yi Ling, 2

It is said that Zhou Yu saw that Jiang Gan agreed to go to Fujian, that is, Jiang Gan asked Sun Quan for the seal of "Fujian Taishou", and set up a banquet to see Jiang Gan off.

Jiang Gan gathered prisoners of war, Chen Ming was powerful, and they were all willing to go.

Zhou Yu immediately ordered Huang Gai to lead 500 soldiers to escort him to central Fujian and return.

Jiang Gan bid farewell to Zhou Yu, and Huang Gai led the Cao army prisoners of war, passing through Jiujiang, moving to a small family, crossing mountains and mountains, and going to Fujian to take up his post, Huang Gai led 500 troops to restore their lives.

Jiang Gan selected 1,000 strong men from the prisoners of war to form a regiment for training, and the rest were allocated to the county to reclaim the land near the county, to appease and disarm the troops of various tribes, to set up an example to calm the people, to reduce or exempt taxes, to set up schools, to reward farming, fishing and fishing, to educate the folk customs, and the people were sincerely convinced.

In the remote places of central Fujian, there was a lack of literati, and Jiang Gan was worried about the lack of management personnel for the establishment of the school, so he suddenly reported that his old friend Xu Jing had come to vote, and he was overjoyed and hurriedly went out to greet him.

Xu Jing, a native of Runan, was famous for his fondness for his fondness with his cousin Xu Shao when he was young.

But the relationship between the two in private is not good.

When Xu Shao was appointed as the Gongcao of Runan County, he excluded Xu Jing and made him not be hired, so Xu Jing had to drive horses and grind grain for others to support his family.

It was not until Liu Yi, a native of Yingchuan, served as the Taipuncy of Runan that Xu Jing was recommended as a planner, responsible for inspecting filial piety, and later appointed Shang Shulang, who was in charge of the selection of officials.

When Dong Zhuo was in power, he used Zhou Yu as the secretary of the ministry, and discussed with Xu Jing to promote and demote the officials of the world, and Xu Jing was appointed as the Taishou of Ba County. Before he arrived, he was reappointed as the Imperial History Zhongcheng.

Later, most of the officials appointed followed Cao Cao and Yuan Shao to fight against Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo angrily rebuked Zhou Bi and beheaded him.

Xu Jing was implicated and fled to Wu County, Yangzhou, and then to Huiji.

Huiji Taishou Wang Lang had a good relationship with Xu Jing and protected him.

Out of benevolence, Xu Jing adopted and cared for his relatives and neighbors who had fled here, and often took care of and helped them.

Sun Ce crossed the Yangtze River in the east, people fled to Jiaozhou to avoid the war, Xu Jing sat on the river bank by himself, let the entourage go first by boat, and after the relatives and clansmen set off, he got up and followed, and the people who saw this scene were all amazed.

Yuan Hui, a native of Chen Guoren, also sent a letter to Shangshu Ling Xun Yu and said: "Xu Wenxiu is a great man, and his wisdom and strategy are enough to participate in national affairs. Since he was exiled in Jiaozhou, he has lived with everyone, and whenever he encounters something dangerous and dangerous, he always puts others before himself, and shares hunger and cold with people inside and outside his family. He treats his fellow kinds with human ethics, benevolence, righteousness and generosity, and is very effective, but he can't list them all. ”

Zhang Xiang, a giant deer man, was ordered to send an envoy to Jiaozhou, wanting to recruit Xu Jing with his power, and tried to make an oath with Xu Jing, but Xu Jing refused to agree.

Xu Jing wrote to Cao Cao again, hoping that he could make the country peaceful and the people would be favored, and put forward some suggestions for him.

Zhang Xiang resented Xu Jing for not using it for himself, and after searching for the letters sent by Xu Jing to Cao Cao, he threw them all into the water.

Xu Jing had a relationship with Jiang Gan when he was in Luoyang, and when he saw that Zhang Xiang could not tolerate himself, he heard that Jiang Gan was well governed in Fujian, so he went to defect.

Jiang Gan was very happy to meet his old acquaintance in a foreign land, and he was appointed to engage in teaching in Fujian.

Xu Wenxiu was famous for his penchant for commenting on the merits and demerits of celebrities, and often talked about Jiang Gan's affairs with his colleagues around him, which inevitably talked about Jiang Gan's merits in the Battle of Chibi, and said that Zhou Yu might have been captured by Cao Cao without Jiang Gan's help.

Who knew that Zhou Yu was not at ease with Jiang Gan, so he placed his cronies among the prisoners of war and went to Fujian.

The cronies reported what Xu Jing said to Zhou Yu.

When Zhou Yu heard this, he was extremely angry, thinking that by transferring Jiang Gan away from his side, he could be quiet, who would want to make these things happen again, especially when Jiang Gan's credit was actually greater than him, it was really intolerable.

Zhou Yu instructed an official from Min County to denounce Jiang Gan and implicitly promised that he would succeed Jiang Gan in the future.

The official then played Wu Hou and said that Jiang Gan had appointed traitors with the intention of rebellion. grabbed Xu Jingyuan under Cao Cao, but was reused by Jiang Gan, and insisted that they were spies sent by Cao Cao.

Due to Zhou Yu's operation, it was not long before Marquis Wu sent people to arrest Jiang Gan and Xu Jing.

Jiang Gan designed to let Xu Jing go, and was escorted to Jianye alone, imprisoned, and beheaded at a later date.

The day before the execution, Zhou Yu came to see Jiang Gan.

Jiang Gan said to Zhou Yu: "Gongjin, for the sake of you and my classmates, I don't ask you to let me go, I just ask you not to chase and kill Xu Wenxiu anymore, he is causing trouble because of me." ”

Zhou Yu made a very sad look and said: "Ziyi, this is Wu Hou's order, I can't help it!" ”

Jiang Gan faced the wall and ignored Zhou Yu.

The next day, Jiang Gan was beheaded.

In order to avoid Sun Quan's pursuit, Xu Jing led his relatives to flee to the relatively stable Xichuan.

When Liu Zhang, the pastor of Yizhou, heard that Xu Jing had entered Shu, he sent people to look for him, first appointed as the Taishou of Guanghan, and then succeeded Wang Shang as the Taishou of Shu County.

Going back, Zhou Yu Chibi defeated Cao Cao, intending to seize Jingzhou, and the army was divided into five battalions, and the village was in the river.

Cao Ren heard the news in Jiangling that Zhou Yu had captured Nanjun and had crossed the Han River, and thousands of men had arrived at the city.

Cao Ren went to the city to look far away, raised 300 people, and ordered the trilogy Xiaoxiao, who had been following his birth and death, to meet Niu Jin.

Wu Jun Ding Feng came to greet him, about four or five together, and Ding Feng was defeated and left.

Niu Jin led the army to chase into the battle, was surrounded in the formation, rushed left and right, and was not allowed to break through.

Cao Ren and Changshi Chen Jiao were both in the city, and when they saw Niu Jin and other 300 people dying, everyone on the left and right was shocked and frightened.

However, Cao Ren was angry, calling left and right to take the horse, Chen Jiao and the others knew that Cao Ren wanted to go down to the city to save Niu Jin, so they pulled Cao Ren together and said: "The thieves are strong and powerful, why not give up these hundreds of people?" ”

Where was Cao Ren willing to listen, put on his armor and mounted his horse, leading dozens of strong men under his command to ride out of the city, and the Wu army was more than 100 steps away, approaching the city ditch.

Chen Jiao and others thought that Cao Ren was just blocking on the ditch and making a posture for Niu Jin's support, but who knew that Cao Ren actually crossed the ditch and rushed into the enemy's encirclement.

Wu General Xu Sheng faced the battle, but he couldn't resist, and Niu Jin and the others had to be rescued.

However, there were remnants of the enemy siege that had not yet been exhausted, and Cao Renfu went straight forward and broke through, pulling out the remaining soldiers from the siege, and was blocked by Jiang Qin, Cao Ren and Niu Jin rushed to kill.

After a scuffle, Jiang Qin was defeated and retreated. When he saw Zhou Yu back, Zhou Yu was angry and wanted to kill him, and the generals were dismissed.

Zhou Yu ordered troops to fight Cao Ren to the death.

Gan Ning said, "Don't do it." Today, Cao Ren ordered Cao Hong to guard the Yi Tomb, which is the trend of horns. I am willing to lead the elite soldiers to take Yiling, and then the governor will attack Jiangling, and Nanjun can be obtained. ”

Zhou Yu obeyed and immediately ordered Gan Ning to lead his headquarters to attack Yiling.

Cao Ren heard the report and discussed with Chen Jiao.

Chen Jiao said: "Yiling and Jiangling are each other's horns, if Yiling is lost, Jiangling will also be difficult to protect, and it is advisable to rescue quickly." ”

Cao Ren then ordered Cao Chun and Niu Jin to secretly lead 6,000 cavalry to rescue Cao Hong.

Cao Chun infiltrated the Yi Tomb, taught Cao Hong to go out of the city to lure the enemy, and then besieged him.

Gan Ning's troops arrived, Cao Hong ordered to attack the city, and led the army out of the city to fight with Gan Ning, and the battle was more than 20 times, and Cao Hong was defeated.

Gan Ning did not chase and took Yiling directly.

Raiding Su hated Cao Cao, but he surrendered helplessly, and now he saw the arrival of the Eastern Wu soldiers, that is, he surrendered without a fight.

The Ganning Department was originally 700 people, and the 300 troops of the Su Department increased to 1,000 to defend the Yiling.

Cao Chun and Niu Jin soldiers arrived, joined forces with Cao Hong, and besieged Yiling.

The situation was critical, Gan Ning consulted with Raid Su, who said: "The enemy is outnumbered, and it is difficult to resist. The general might as well lead the army to break through the siege, move the rescue troops, I will deal with it in the city, and wait for the rescue troops to arrive, I will respond internally, and then seize again. ”

Gan Ning said: "Since you take it, how can you discard it lightly? As long as the people's hearts are calmed, morale is boosted, and they are waiting for help, the crisis can be resolved. ”

Under the heavy pressure of Gan Ning, he was calm and calm, while appeasing the people, stabilizing the morale of the army, and boosting the morale of the army; On the one hand, people sneaked out of the city gate and asked Zhou Yu for help.

Zhou Yu received Gan Ning's request for help and gathered to discuss. Deputy Governor Cheng Pu said: "Troops should be sent to rescue as soon as possible. ”

Zhou Yu said: "The main force of our army is at the right point, if the troops are divided to rescue, Cao Ren will take advantage of the weakness to attack, how can he resist?" ”

The rest of the generals were convinced that there were no troops to send reinforcements.

At this time, Lu Meng stood up: "Gan Xingba is the general of Jiangdong, desperately seizing Yiling, and now he is waiting for help, how can he not be saved?" ”

Zhou Yu said: "I want to go to save Xingba in person, but who can resist Cao Ren here on my behalf?" ”

Lu Meng said: "If the governor goes in person, I am willing to be the forerunner, and after the governor is broken, it will not take ten days to play a triumphant song." Here you can leave Ling Tong Ling's public performance deservedly. ”

Zhou Yu said: "I wonder if Ling Gongji is willing to take on this role on my behalf?" ”

Ling Tong said: "I have a grudge against Xingba, it is a personal enmity; The governor went to relieve the siege of Yiling, which was related to the overall situation of Eastern Wu. How can I ignore the bigger picture because of my personal vendetta? But I am not able to do it, and if it is ten days, I can deserve it; Outside the ten days, they are not competent. ”

Zhou Yu was overjoyed, so he left 10,000 soldiers and handed them over to Ling Tong for control, and from now on, the soldiers went to aid Yiling.

LΓΌ Meng offered advice to Zhou Yu and said: "There is a remote road from Yiling to Jiangling, which is extremely convenient to communicate. He sent three hundred soldiers to cut down the trees on both sides, and lay them on the road, and blocked their path. If the enemy is defeated and flees, he will go this way; If the horse cannot walk, it will forsake it, and it will be for me. ”

Zhou Yu followed the plan and sent 500 soldiers to cut down trees and block the road.

Zhou Yu led the army to Yiling, and Zhou Tai was ordered to slash into the enemy's siege and go to the city.

Gan Ning saw Zhou Tai's arrival, personally went out of the city to welcome him, and heard that the governor personally led the army to come to the rescue, and ordered the sergeants to dress up and prepare for internal response.

Cao Hong, Cao Chun, and Niu Jin heard that Zhou Yu was coming, and on the one hand, they sent people to Jiangling to report to Cao Ren, and on the other hand, they divided their troops to resist the enemy.

Zhou Yu supervised the army to cover up and kill, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, and Xisu were killed from the city, and the foreign aid should be attacked from both sides, and the Cao soldiers were in chaos, and they were defeated from the path, but they were blocked by the trees and blocked the road, and the horses could not walk, and they all abandoned the horses and fled, and the Wu army got more than 300 horses.

Zhou Yu drove his troops to chase after him, and when Cao Ren went to the rescue of Yiling, there was a scuffle, and when he saw that it was getting late, he collected his army.

Gan Ning was very moved when he heard that Lu Meng urged Zhou Yu to come to the rescue in person; I heard that Ling Tong took into account the overall situation, temporarily abandoned personal enmity, and resisted Cao Ren on behalf of Zhou Yu in order to rescue Yiling, and was quite moved.

Someone persuaded Gan Ning: "The two armies fought and accidentally injured his father. You can see the public achievements and release the past suspicions in person. ”

Gan Ning said: "The two armies are facing each other, killing the enemy generals, what is the mission? The revenge of killing the father is not shared with the sky, and it is natural and righteous to avenge the father, what is wrong? I am not at fault, he is not at fault, why is there a gap? I took the city for Soochow, and he rescued for Soochow, all for the overall situation. Since it is the same overall situation, it is better to avoid minor issues. ”

Everyone was impressed. Exactly: who can tell the difference between right and wrong, and when will the grievances be repaid? If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next breakdown.
