On the eve of dawn, the sleeping Shouchun City suddenly rang with a sonorous and piercing bell.

Cao Zhi woke up from his sleep, opened his eyes abruptly and sat up, and the attendants on the side hurriedly whispered something to him.

In a daze and trance, Cao Zhi seemed to wake up suddenly, and he said in surprise, "The Feishui camp was burned? General Zhang Wenyuan... No... Don't know life and death? ”

The entourage hurriedly bowed his head, "The prime minister is gathering hundreds of officials and going to the main hall of the government office to discuss matters!" ”

At this moment, Cao Zhi looked at the darkness of the void and muttered, "This is going to be a big thing, something big is going to happen-"

…

In the main hall of the government office, the house was full of civil and military gatherings, and Cao Cao's tiger eyes condensed coldly.

Zhang Chunhua was once again "invited" to his face, and was escorted by the Tiger Benjun to kneel, when Cao Zhi arrived, he heard her shouting, "What the concubine said is true, the husband talked to Lu Xun in Jiaozhou like this, that Lu Xun's surrender is true, why is the prime minister like this?" ”

"It's true." Cao Cao's eyes condensed, "If it weren't for 'every sentence is true', how could Gu fold Jiangxia's 80,000 soldiers and horses, and how could the Feishui camp be burned by this fire!" How good is your woman, 'everything you say'! ”

Cao Cao's words made Zhang Chunhua stunned...

It also made Yigan Wenwu stunned, and even Cao Zhi, who had just arrived, lowered his eyebrows, and said secretly in his heart: "Isn't it only the Fat Water Camp? How... How could there be... There will also be the Jiangxia battlefield, eight... Have 80,000 people been broken?'

didn't wait for Cao Zhi to figure out the cause and effect in the middle.

Cao Cao had already glanced at Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu took a step forward, with grief, and said loudly: "Just now, General Yu Ban sent someone to send back an urgent message, Jiangxia was defeated, 30,000 Runan troops and 30,000 soldiers and horses of Lejin were almost all buried, and 20,000 Nanyang soldiers betrayed Cao Wei and voted for that Guan family Shilang!" ”

"What?"

Hearing this, Zhang Chunhua exclaimed.

Cheng Yu glanced at Zhang Chunhua, his tone became more serious, and he spoke in detail: "... Sima Yi colluded with Lu Xun to bluff General Yu Ban, causing the situation in Jiangxia to turn over overnight, and Hou Yin betrayed, and ambushed 30,000 soldiers and horses in Jiming Mountain, even General Lejin also... was also pierced through the heart by random arrows and died in the valley of roosters! ”

"Deputy General Yu Ban, Zhu Ling, Zhu Shu's father and son originally pretended to surrender, but they never thought that the fake drama was really done, luring the Runan army into the ambush site, and was ... Burned by a fire, General Yu Ban led the remnants of the army to escape from Jiangxia and fled to Nanyang, where he was gathering soldiers and horses to guard against the northward invasion of the Guan family Shiro! ”

Speaking of which...

"Report - eight hundred miles expedited!"

Another scout broke into the main hall and hurriedly said: "On the battlefield of Xiangfan, Guan Yu attacked General Xu Huang's camp at night, the entire camp was burned, and the heavy grain and grass were lost heavily, and General Xu Huang smelled the poisonous smoke... fainted, and now he is being sent to Xiangyang City for first aid..."

A wave is not settled, and another wave is rising...

At this moment, in the entire government office, all the civil and military officers couldn't help but rub their hands in a hurry, and several ministers were whispering.

Jia Kui said: "Why is it a fire again? ”

Chen Qun frowned: "Overnight, there were fires everywhere, and there were burning camps everywhere..."

Although their voices were extremely light and thin, they were still enough for Cao Cao to hear clearly...

At this moment, he couldn't care about how deeply this fire was related to Sima Yi and even Lu Xun.

But the truth is no longer around.

Overnight... He Cao Cao folded nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses!

A full 100,000 soldiers!

It is true that 100,000 soldiers and horses are not fatal to Cao Wei today...

But now the north is pacified, Xianbei, and Wuhuan remnants... It consumes a lot of soldiers and horses.

The battlefield of Hanzhong and the land of Yongliang are more than 100,000 people.

It is not an exaggeration to say that in a short period of time, Cao Cao can gather such a number of soldiers and horses, and he is still a veteran, which is extremely difficult!

"What a fire!"

Cao Cao stood up, and he said with emotion: "In the past, I only knew that Zhou Yu, the governor of Eastern Wu, was good at arson and set a fire in Chibi, but I never thought that this Sima Yi colluded with Lu Xun, and this fire was already quite the style of Zhou Gongjin when he was in Chibi!" ”

Speaking of this, Cao Cao glared at Zhang Chunhua angrily.

At this moment, he will no longer pay attention to Zhang Chunhua's appearance and charm, and the only hatred he has in his heart is deep grief.

Cao Cao waved his hand: "Escort this woman down!" ”

"Whoa!" Xu Chu promised and personally escorted Zhang Chunhua down...

However, Zhang Chunhua kept muttering: "No, no, Zhong Da will not betray the prime minister, Zhong Da... Zhongda will never betray the prime minister! ”

After Zhang Chunhua was pulled down.

Cao Cao asked anxiously, "What about Wenyuan?" Have you found Lonely's Wenyuan? ”

He didn't grieve over Lejin's ten thousand arrows piercing his heart, nor did he care about what the current situation of Yu Ban was.

Cao Cao's pupils were full of the shadows of Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan.

"Back to the Prime Minister, many people have been sent out, and they are still looking for... Eastern Wu also sent troops to search for something, and it seemed that their general Ling Tong also disappeared in this fire! ”

"Send more men... Send all the manpower on. Cao Cao immediately ordered, "I can't find Wen Yuan, lonely... I want you alone..."

He was going to say, "I want your heads"...

But when it came to this, a huge sense of dizziness and trance swept through the whole body.

The head stroke has scurred up, again, again, again.

With a "bang", Cao Cao's whole person fell to the ground... He put his hands on his forehead, his expression extremely painful. "Lone's head, Lone's head..."

"Medic, Medic—"

Cheng Yu hugged Cao Cao and shouted hoarsely, while looking at Cao Cao with deep grief.

He could understand the grief in Cao Cao's heart at this moment!

At this moment, Cao Zhi was also stunned...

He was even confused, not knowing what to do at such a time?

…

…

- There are parrots in the north and wild geese in the south.

When Guan Lin was recommended by Lu Xun, he met the son of this Da Qiao, Sun Ru's younger brother Sun Shao;

met the famous son of Donglai Taishi Citai "Taishi Xiang";

I also heard the news about the "wild goose" in their mouths over the years.

Guan Lin couldn't help but feel emotional...

He couldn't help but ask: "What do you mean is that over the past many years, you have formed an organization called 'Hongyan', and have been co-opting the descendants of those who were brutalized by Sun Quan, trying to unite them and make that Sun Quan infamous in the entire Eastern Wu?" ”

"Yes!" Sun Shao nodded heavily, "It's just that over the years, firstly, Hongyan has been repeatedly suppressed by that Sun Quan, and secondly, the stories here, including the assassination of my father (Sun Ce), including the disappearance of General Tai Shici in Yangzhou overnight, including the sudden death of Zhou Gongjin during the westward expedition, the details here... We found some, but there was no evidence, otherwise... For example, Zhou Xun, the son of Zhou Gongjin, also has more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in his hands... These are all objects that can be fought for. ”

Got it...

Guan Lin was surprised.

But... Considering that Sun Quan has compromised with the Wujun clan in order to compromise with the Wujun clan over the years, and under the extreme "checks and balances", it is reasonable that such a "Hongyan" organization really appeared in Eastern Wu.

Ten years, ten important ministers, it's not in vain that they will die!

They still have a huge amount of energy behind them.

Simply, Guan Lin no longer asked about "Hong Yan" and no longer doubted "Hong Yan".

He sighed: "Bo Yan just mentioned my two strategies in the future, one is to conquer the northern territory and constantly weaken Cao Wei, and the other is to unite Eastern Wu, but secretly need to gradually collect the talents of Eastern Wu for their own use and enrich themselves... From this point of view, I coincide with the purpose of 'Hongyan'. ”

Speaking of this, Guan Lin's tone was a little more meticulous: "Since our goals coincide, that is, comrades-in-arms and our own people, we might as well be open and honest, you... Or 'Hongyan', how do you need my help? ”

This one...

Sun Shao and Tai Shixiang didn't expect Guan Lin to be so generous.

The two looked at each other, but they were a little embarrassed and restrained.

Lu Xun said with a smile: "Yunqi Gongzi is completely different from that Sun Quan, he is ruthless to his enemies, but he has always been generous to his friends, and he is a trustworthy person!" ”

This...

Lu Xun has said this, and Sun Shao and Tai Shixiang have nothing to hide.

Sun Shao confessed: "The first one is money, it is food, these years... Hongyan's operation probably consumes the original family funds, but... Because of Sun Quan's intervention, these money are already stretched, and the other one... Yes..."

Sun Shao suddenly wanted to speak and stopped.

Tai Shixiang said calmly: "It's a way out... Many of Hongyan's subordinates are married, as well as the descendants of those meritorious civil and military forces, most of them also have family members, and in the process of winning them over, some of them are worried about their families... That's why I didn't dare to join Hongyan and dare not resist Sun Quan... Therefore, we need a way out so that all Hongyan people can retreat with peace of mind. ”

Guan Lin nodded thoughtfully, already understanding most of it in his heart...

At the same time, Lu Xun had told him about this wild goose before, and Guan Lin still sighed as always.

——In dealing with Cao Cao, in the internal disintegration of the north and the Central Plains, then he Guan Lin can't do without the "parrot" of Lingju!

- Similarly, if Dongwu wants to collapse from the inside, it is inseparable from the "Hongyan" of Sun Shao and Tai Shixiang...

The appearance of these two people and the appearance of Hongyan can be regarded as the divine assistance of the "Soochow Strategy" in his Guan Lin's mind!

"Money and food, it's not a problem...", Guan Lin replied heartily, "As for the way out, if you can trust me, send Hongyan's people to Jingzhou, Changsha or Jiangling, where a new city is already being built, no matter how many families you have, there will be no shortage of places to live!" ”

"If you can't trust me, it's okay to worry that I'll threaten your family, it's human nature... You can also place your family in Cangwu County, Jiaozhou, where the Lu family's clansmen are also located... It is expected that they are all Dongwu people, and they will not be too difficult to get along with, as for the money, food, clothing, and clothing needed for the migration... You don't have to worry about this, I'll take care of it all. ”

Guan Lin's serious words were almost completely from the perspective of "Hong Yan", and from the perspective of Sun Shao and Tai Shixiang to arrange...

This made Sun Shao and Tai Shixiang particularly surprised...

"Yunqi Gongzi, is this true?" Tai Shi enjoys a straight temperament and asks Guan Lin directly.

Lu Xun hurriedly interjected: "What are you asking?" What is the identity of Yunqi Gongzi, why would he lie to you? ”

Lu Xun's reminder made Tai Shixiang hurriedly bow his head and apologize.

Sun Shao gave his hand: "Since we have come to find the son, we can trust the son... We are willing to relocate Hongyan's family to Jingzhou! ”

"Good! In this case, if you need money in the future, you can withdraw it directly from Jiaozhou or Changsha County, and I will explain to Han Xuan Han Lao over there, and ask them to inform the Jiaozhou Shixie family and give you as much convenience as possible... Of course, if..."

At the end of Guan Lin's sentence, he suddenly thought of something, to be precise, an idea.

But the idea was just emerging and not yet perfect, so he kept his mouth shut.

"Can I trust the prince of Yunqi? Can't you trust us? ”

Sun Shao saw Guan Lin's desire to speak and stopped, and hurriedly asked.

"It's not..."Guan Lin sighed, "I was thinking that if... We can support a family within Soochow, and then let this family continue to grow, then maybe... Hongyan will also be a little more relaxed. ”

This...

Sun Shao and Tai Shixiang blinked.

Lu Xun seemed to understand Guan Lin's words at once, "What Yunqi Gongzi means is to support a family, and then let this family continue to grow to the point where it can compete with Sun Quan, right?" ”

"It's difficult..."Guan Lin sighed with emotion: "But, this is a way to defeat Sun Quan and disintegrate Sun Quan... As for this candidate... Zhou Xun, the descendant of Zhou Yu you mentioned just now, doesn't he still hold a team of 10,000 soldiers and horses? Besides, what about his mother or Mrs. Da Qiao's own sister? ”

Speaking of this, a poem came to Guan Lin's mind:

——The drunken guest soul disappears, the spring breeze is big and small!

Actually, what Guan Lin wants to say is...

The situation today is very different from that of Chibi...

This is no longer "the spring breeze is not with Zhou Lang, and the copper finch is deep in the spring to lock Er Qiao", this has to be changed to "Er Qiao is not with Sun Quan"...

So much so that in the end... The cage of Dongwu is deeply locked by his Sun Quan and Sun Zhongmou!

Sun Shao, Tai Shixiang, Zhou Xun!

Big Joe, Little Joe...

These are all divine assists that subvert Soochow!

And with Guan Lin's words, Lu Xun, Sun Shao, and Tai Shixiang looked at each other...

Suddenly, they realized something.

——The Zhou family is in the light, and the wild goose is in the dark!

A few people chatted a little more...

Guan Lin personally sent Sun Shao and Tai Shixiang away.

At this moment, Lu Xun suddenly thought of something again, and he hurriedly reminded him, to be precise, it was another matter.

"I almost forgot, there's another person... How to send it, you have to ask the cloud flag boy to show it. ”

"Who?"

"Cao Wei's envoy is also mentioned by Yunqi many times - Sima Yi!"

With the appearance of this name, Guan Lin's eyes couldn't help but be sure... He muttered inwardly.

- "Sima Yi? What a troublesome person!'

…

…

Dawn is approaching, and the fire in Feishui Caoying has finally come to an end.

Thin layers of ash fell from the air.

Whether it is the Cao army or the exploration horses of the Eastern Wu army, they have gathered here.

They have opposite identities, bump into each other, and should have had a fight, but each other... With their own tasks, the two sides kept their distance so tacitly, just searching for something in this scorched Cao camp.

Look through each of these charred soldiers...

Go and find the person they are looking for.

The scene was unusually quiet!

It's a pity that in the end, they still didn't find Cao Cao or the person Sun Quan was reading in his mouth...

Hefei city above the city.

Gan Ning knelt on one knee and was telling Sun Quan about the situation when he robbed the camp, "The last general led five hundred horsemen to break into Cao's camp, and while scattering and smashing this incendiary canister, he rushed towards the big tent of the Chinese army Cao Cao... During this period, Zhang Liao led the army to stop me, but it was General Ling Tong who blocked it for me, which allowed me to get out! ”

"And then? What about the Ling Tong people? Sun Quan's expression was gloomy...

He didn't mention Gan Ning's outstanding achievements this time, his eyes condensed, and he looked at Gan Ning's expression, as if he was looking at a wicked person who was "extremely evil"!

"General Ling Tong first shouted at me, 'Er Xianxian, kill the Cao thief, burn the camp, don't save me', and then he fought with Zhang Liao in one place, shouting at me, 'Husband, why are you afraid of death, now... Set fire to me!' ”

"So, you set it on fire?" Sun Quan's words were as cold as ever.

"The last general can't bear to set fire, and hesitating... But inexplicably, the fire suddenly ignited, and the entire military tent was burned in an instant..."Gan Ning was still explaining.

Rather than explaining, he is stating a fact.

He really didn't know that the fire... How did it burn for no reason.

"The Great Fire separates General Mo from General Ling Tong... The last general can still hear the sound of General Ling Tong and Zhang Liao's blades clashing on the side of the fire..."

Speaking of this, Gan Ning lowered his head, "The last general didn't dare to hesitate, let alone live up to General Ling Tong, and immediately led the troops to continue to break through, and finally killed the Chinese army tent of the Cao army. ”

"But at this time, the ambush of the Cao army is exhausted, and the last general is surrounded by groups, if it is not for the spread of the fire, if it is not for the enemy general Zhang Liao and does not know life and death, the last general will definitely have no chance to escape from the camp!"

Speaking of this, Gan Ning bowed his hand deeply, and he said hatefully:

"Although the last general has some disagreements with General Ling Tong, he can get his help in this battle, and he is grateful in his heart, and he will never have the intention of causing harm, but the battlefield is unpredictable, and the last general... The last general finally broke through, and there were only more than 20 horsemen, the line of life and death, no matter what, the last general still failed to keep General Ling Tong in the end, resulting in... Cause... General Ling Tong is in the middle of the fire! The end will be guilty! ”

Gan Ning is a man who dares to act, and he burned Cao Ying, and he deserves the credit.

can indirectly harm Ling Tong, this responsibility, he will not hesitate, will not shirk.

"Humph!" Sun Quan snorted coldly, and under anger, he pointed at Gan Ning and said angrily: "You are indeed guilty, General Ling Cao was shot by you, and General Ling Tong also died in your hands, someone came..."

Don't wait for Sun Quan to fall...

Sun Deng hurriedly persuaded: "Father, no matter what, General Gan set fire to the enemy camp, reversed the unfavorable situation in Huainan, and severely damaged the Cao army, which is a great achievement... Father should be rewarded? How is it... How can it be punished? ”

"Great work?" Sun Quan glared at Sun Deng... A pair of eyes were about to split. "Lone would rather not have this great victory, Lone also wants the public performance general to live!"

At this moment, Sun Quan showed great nostalgia for Ling Tong, or maybe he must make a big fuss about this matter.

He can't allow another Zhou Gongjin to survive in Jiangdong!

Gan Ning didn't know the reason for this, he could only take his head deeper, and he felt more and more self-blame in his mood.

That's when it happened.

"Newspaper - Xiangfan, Jiangxia War Report..."A scout ran quickly to the head of the city and reported directly: "Lu Xun led the Lu family army to Jiangxia and Guan Lin to attack Yu Ban, a fire, almost all of Yu Ban's army was burned... The sudden Cao general Le Jin and 30,000 soldiers and horses were also defeated, and Le Jin died unexpectedly! ”

"On the battlefield of Xiangfan, Guan Yu attacked Xu Huang's camp at night, the flames soared into the sky, and Xu Huang's army retreated... The loss of heavy grain and grass is innumerable, and now it has retreated to Xiangyang City! ”

Two battle reports in a row stirred Sun Quan's whole heart.

The fire, which naturally reminded him of this "incendiary canister", but why, the same fire, the same fire burned the company camp, how... When it comes to his Sun Quan's side, can't he be happy?

"Father, this is a great victory... It's a great victory for the Sun-Liu Alliance! Sun Deng on the side hurriedly exclaimed.

Sun Quan calmly looked back at his gaze, his expression was like a falling demon, "Lone knows that it is a great victory..."

He changed his words, "Take General Gan Ning down to rest!" ”

"Yes!" Sun Dengru was granted amnesty...

And after Sun Deng and Gan Ning retreated.

This is, Sun Quan had an indifferent expression and asked Gu Yong beside him: "Old Gu?" You say, is this a big victory? ”

"It seems that for Jingzhou, they won the battle and earned tens of thousands of Lu family troops, which is indeed a great victory!" Gu Yong sighed with emotion: "But for Dongwu, it's a curse rather than a blessing!" ”

"yes!" Sun Quan groaned: "This unfriendly neighbor, he has grown a lot!" ”

Gu Yongsheng was afraid that Sun Quan would think about it, so he hurriedly reminded: "Lord, the top priority... It's still the Huainan battlefield! This is the strategy formulated by the Governor of Luda! ”

Speaking of this, Sun Quan raised his eyes to the west, and for a while, he thought of Lu Xun, Guan Lin, and this great victory.

His cold eyes seemed to be hiding something, and these contents made his mood throb incomparably.

- "Jingzhou, sooner or later, it will be lonely!"
