Gan Ning retreated into the city, sent someone to imprison Ling Tong, and then bandaged the wound under his ribs, and Su Fei rushed to visit after arranging the city defense.

When Gan Ning saw Su Fei coming, he sat up, and Su Fei stepped forward and smiled at Gan Ning: "Xingba, if it weren't for you today, I'm afraid I would be the same as Huang Taishou, thank you here." ”

Gan Ning smiled: "How can I not understand what the governor does to me, saying this is a joke on me." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled. Su Fei looked around and saw that there was no one on the left and right, so he whispered: "Xingba, I treat you as a brother, and you don't treat me as an outsider, I asked you about it, you have to tell the truth." ”

Gan Ning thought for a moment and said, "It's those soldiers and horses." Su Fei nodded.

Gan Ning said: "This matter is not timely, Dudu, as long as you believe, Ning will never harm you." ”

Su Fei nodded and said, "Okay, I won't force you either." Huang Taishou is gone, Liu Tingshi is also old, and this Jingzhou is probably going to be chaotic. ”

After pausing for a while, Su Fei continued: "Xingba, can we hold Jiangxia?" ”

Gan Ning said: "We have nearly 4,000 soldiers and horses, and we can fight for four days with 1,000 people a day, plus the help of the people, and the reinforcements should set off at this time." It will be there in four days. And Jiangdong has been fighting for more than ten days, and he is already tired. Don't worry. ”

Su Fei said: "In this way, I will be relieved." Also, I have already put you in the position of temporary lieutenant. Next time someone calls you Captain Gan, don't think it's anyone? ”

Gan Ning smiled: "Thank you, Su Dudu." ”

Su Fei said: "You're welcome, you take care of your injuries, I'll go first." ”

Gan Ning said: "I will not send it far away." ”

Su Fei walked to the door and glanced inside, and couldn't help but think that because Huang Zu didn't use Gan Ning before, he called him the head of the plant, and the original intention was to let him go to Jiangdong, so as not to have nowhere to show his skills. As a result, Gan Ning couldn't help but take no action, and today's battle offended Jiangdong to death. Could it be that Ganning has already found someone worthy of entrusting him to serve? I really can't see through it. Let's just let it be!

Thinking of this, Su Fei left in great strides.

Outside the city, Zhou Yu led the main army to meet with Lü Meng, and Lü Meng told Zhou Yu how Ling Tong was captured, and Zhou Yu listened: "So Gan Ning reversed the situation on the battlefield. ”

Lu Meng said: "So to speak. ”

Zhou Yu said: "No, what official position does Gan Ning have." ”

Lu Meng said: "I heard that it is a county order. ”

Zhou Yu said: "Gan Ning has followed Huang Zu for at least five years, and he has quite a lot of military achievements, so he became a county commander, and Gan Ning still gave him his life like this." ”

Lu Meng said: "The governor is saying that there is someone else behind Gan Ning. ”

Zhou Yu said: "Not bad. Unless Gan Ning is a fool! There is a question of where the more than 1,000 people in the city came from. Jiangxia's main force was defeated, and Huang Zu fled. Where did these soldiers and horses come from? ”

Lu Meng said: "The governor thinks who is behind the scenes. ”

Zhou Yu thought for a while and said, "It's hard to say. I don't want him, I'm going to send someone to negotiate for Ling Tong back. ”

Lu Meng said: "Won't we attack the city?" ”

Zhou Yu said: "The loss of the siege is too great, the gains outweigh the losses, now, in addition to the dead in battle, there are 24,000 wounded soldiers who can fight, and there are four or five thousand soldiers and horses in the city. ”

Lu Meng said again: "Metropolitan Governor, what about Huang Zu's corpse." ”

Zhou Yu said: "Cut off the head and give it to the lord." Lu Meng said yes.

Lu Meng continued: "Du Du, then what do we exchange for Ling Tong?" ”

Zhou Yu said with a smile: "I heard that Liu Biao has sent reinforcements, and if you eat this group of reinforcements, you will naturally change them for a few generals who captured him." ”

Lu Meng said: "Look at the Metropolitan Governor's plan. ”

Zhou Yu said: "Whether it is successful or not depends on whether Jingzhou's soldiers and horses cooperate or not. ”

Lu Meng arched his hand and said: "The Metropolitan Governor is strategizing, and the final general will obey the orders of the Metropolitan Governor." ”

Zhou Yu said: "Okay, you and I all work together, Jingzhou soldiers and horses are no more than local chickens and tile dogs." "Dispatch troops and horses to wait for Jingzhou reinforcements to come.

After Liu Biao received the news of Huang Zu's report that Jiangdong had entered the Kou, he knew that Huang Zu was not an opponent, so he ordered Cai Mao and Zhang Yun to order 30,000 soldiers and horses to prepare to support Huang Zu once he was defeated.

As a result, the soldiers and horses were not ordered, and Huang Zu's letter for help arrived, and Liu Biao had to urge Cai Mao and Zhang Yun. He also ordered Wen to be the vanguard, led 8,000 first, and halfway through, Su Fei asked for help and received a letter of help, which informed Huang Zu of the news of his death in battle.

Wen Ping hurriedly reported to Liu Biao, and Liu Biao couldn't help but feel a little sad when he learned that his old subordinates had died in battle. Urge reinforcements to march quickly to support the defenders of Xiakou.

Wen Ping marched rapidly for three days, and when he reached a hundred miles away from Jiangxia City, he began to slow down the march. Wen Ping has always acted carefully, knowing that the Jiangdong Naval Division is sharp, in order to prevent the Jiangdong Naval Army, half of the soldiers and horses are deliberately stationed on the shore, and half of the water village is stationed, which are connected to each other, so that no matter whether they are attacked on the road or on the water, half of the soldiers and horses will be supported, so as not to panic, and attacking two places at the same time requires many soldiers and horses, which can never be hidden.

Tanma spread the news early. Send someone to contact Jiangxia City Su Fei. He also listened to the news of Zhou Yu's soldiers and horses, and reported that Zhou Yu had no trace of troop transfer.

Wen Ping was puzzled, so he ordered to advance ten miles to establish a camp and prepare for the battle. But for several days, Zhou Yu still did not act.

Wenpin advanced ten miles further, dug deep trenches, and established strong camps, so that the Jiangdong army had scruples and would not attack the city, as long as it ensured that Xiakou City was temporarily worry-free, it would achieve its goal.

Jiangdong army generals are brave and brave, Jingzhou and Jiangxia have been fighting for several years, it is a big defeat, a small defeat, Wen Ping knows the stakes well, so he only marches ten miles at a time, and after finding out that there is no danger, he will continue to advance steadily, so that he can step by step, safe and steady, and enter Jiangxia City without any flaws. Even if Zhou Yu attacks at this time, I am afraid that it will be quite uncomfortable to eat himself, and it is impossible to lose less than 10,000 people, so, plus the arrival of 30,000 people from Cai Mao and Zhang Yun in the back, it will be difficult to escape annihilation, so the march will only be more than 40 miles away from Xiakou City.

Although Wen Ping was thoughtful, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were in a hurry, and they didn't care so much, they still wanted to make meritorious contributions, but they were a little worried about the courage of the Jiangdong Army, and hoped that Wen Ping would first explore the strength of the Jiangdong Army.

Wenpin's way of moving, when will it take! On the night of the strict order for Wen Ping to march quickly, Wen Ping kept sending people to explain, but Zhang Yun said: "Xiakou City is in danger, and I am looking forward to reinforcements. I can't wait, if I wait any longer, the people of Jiangxia think that there are no reinforcements, and they will surrender Jiangdong. ”

Wen Ping asked for another three days, which would inevitably cause the Jiangdong Army to retreat.

There was news that Jiangdong was migrating the people near Jiangxia, Zhang Yun immediately made a fuss about this news, and asked Cai Mao to teach Wenpin to go to Jiangxia City within a day, and Cai Mao forced the army to march and sent his brother Cai Xun to supervise the army.

Wen Ping sighed: "I'm not afraid of death, I pity the eight thousand Jing Chu disciples and give their lives in vain." Wen Ping was forced to march quickly.

Wen Ping abandoned the ship and went to land, formed a strict formation, and tripled the number of horses, and was on alert at any time, intending to march with all his strength to rush into Xiakou City.

Cai Xun smiled instead: "Why is General Wen so afraid of Jiangdong, like this, how can he be a general." ”

Wen Ping replied: "The enemy is outnumbered, the enemy wins and I lose, the enemy is sparse, the enemy is easy and I work, the troops, morale, training, and work are all inferior to the enemy, Cai Dujun, do you dare to fight Jiangdong?" ”

Cai Xun said: "This is a word that disturbs the hearts of our army!" ”

Wen Ping said coldly: "Knowing each other and knowing oneself, promoting my strengths, and attacking the enemy's shortcomings can lead to victory." It's not a word that can be won without being afraid. ”

Cai Xun was speechless, and said: "Jiangdong is plundering the people, how can you protect the people if you don't defeat them." ”

Wen Ping said: "As long as we enter Jiangxia City, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, in response to Cai Dudu's arrival, the Jiangdong army will be attacked from inside and outside if it does not retreat, if it retreats, it will delay the journey with the people, disperse the troops, we take advantage of the situation to pursue Jiangdong It is difficult to escape defeat, only by giving up the people, can the whole army retreat." The Jiangdong army will definitely not be willing to do this, so it will look for our flaws, we are half a day's distance from Cai Dudu, and the Jiangdong army will delay Cai Du's men for a day. No one knows what will happen on this day, but judging from the strength of the enemy and my weakness, it is enough to hit us hard, I originally hoped that Cai Dudu would be close to us and act, but Cai Dudu considered that he did not know the reality of the Jiangdong Army, and sent us to investigate. Therefore, for the sake of prudence, we can only act quickly, with a sharp spirit, so that Jiangdong has no time to calculate us, even if he wants to calculate, he has no time to arrange, and the eight thousand children rely on one blow to enter the city of Xiakou City. If you find the Jiangdong Army to engage in battle now, you will hit the stone with an egg, and attack the strong with the weak, and you will seek a dead end. ”

Cai Xun had no choice but to obey. As a result, when he walked ten miles away from Jiangxia, Cai Xun stopped on the grounds that the sergeant was tired and would march again after resting.

Wen Ping immediately said: "No, a thirty-mile march, once you rest, the soldiers will relax, once the enemy is killed, it will be good to be able to exert half of the combat power." Only rushed to Jiangxia City in one go. ”

Cai Xun just didn't allow it, Wen Ping pressed his sword angrily and said: "I am a pioneer, if you dare to disobey, I will behead you." Cai Xun was scared, so he had to enter the army obediently.

Wen Ping successfully entered Xiakou City, and during this period, a small group of troops of the Jiangdong Army approached, but they retreated without fighting.

Su Fei connected Wen Ping and Cai Xun, and when the two sides talked, they learned that Jiangdong had not moved in the past few days.

The next day, the spies came to report that the Jiangdong Army had withdrawn, and Cai Xun was overjoyed and said: "The Jiangdong rats are scared. "I want to catch up, but Wen Ping is not allowed, and he sends someone to find out the truth of the Jiangdong Army.

Cai Xun left angrily. When he saw Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, he talked about how hurried and embarrassed the Jiangdong army was, and asked soldiers to pursue, Cai Mao believed it, so he sent 10,000 soldiers and horses to Cai Xun and Zhang Yun to pursue.

The two were overjoyed and pursued hard, and kept catching all kinds of flags, armor, and ship boards on the way. There are also many people on both sides of the strait, about 1,000 people, Zhang Yun sent someone to ask, and everyone said: "We are the people of Jiangxia, and we were taken captive by Jiangdong, but for some reason, we suddenly abandoned us in a panic here and went east." ”

The two were overjoyed, and they were even more sure that the Jiangdong Army did not dare to resist because of the arrival of their own army, and hurriedly lost away.

Cai Xun scolded: "Wen Ping, this guy, marching like this, caused Jiangdong to kidnap so many people, when I go back victorious, tell the lord and eldest brother well, see if he still has a face." Zhang Yunshen thought so.
