- In the Battle of Huaihe River, Zhang Jaw's troops defeated Sun Quan's 100,000-strong army and killed nearly 30,000 Wu soldiers. Generals such as Ling Tong, Ding Feng and even Sun Quan all narrowly escaped death. This killing spooked everyone in Soochow. Later, word of the incident spread back to Jiangdong, and even the children did not dare to cry at night after hearing Zhang Jia's name. The generals protected Sun Quan as he crossed the river. Zhou Yu had already been waiting at the ferry. When Zhou Yu saw that the armor of the generals and soldiers was uneven, and that all the soldiers looked frightened and had lingering fear in their eyes, he knew that the battle would be a disastrous defeat. Zhou Yu looked shocked and rushed to the fleet, shouting at the king of Wu. He was very anxious. Sun Quan came out with the support of all the generals. Seeing Zhou Yu in such a hurry, he was filled with thoughts for a while. Sun Quan led everyone to the ferry. Zhou Yu came to see him hurriedly. Seeing that Sun Quan was fine, the panic on his face just faded away a little. Sun Quan saw this with keen eyes, held Zhou Yu's hand in his hand, and sighed. ,
"Fortunately, the Governor sent troops to rescue in time, otherwise I would definitely die this time!"
When all the generals heard Sun Quan's praise, they all felt strange. Zhou Yu's face condensed and he bowed his hands.
"Your Majesty, you have nothing to worry about. Let's organize the army first. After the sergeants are finished resting and recuperating, Yu will definitely lead the army to avenge this great revenge for Your Majesty!!"
After hearing this, Sun Quan nodded and smiled. His warning to Zhou Yu suddenly disappeared at this moment. The monarch and his minister walked hand in hand. After that, Sun Quan reorganized his troops and rewarded Zhou Yu, Ling Tong, and Ding Feng heavily. He collected his troops and returned to Shouchun first, and ordered all the troops to rest and recuperate in preparation for the war.
Let's say that Zhang Jaw defeated the Wu army and became famous in Yuzhou. He led his army back to the city. The people in the city came to welcome him. They saw Zhang Jaw leading the generals in a majestic manner. The troops were in order, flags were flying, and the soldiers, weapons and armor were all bloody. , extremely majestic, and after seeing the army again, there were many prisoners of Wu soldiers in custody, all of them were dejected, like dogs that had lost their homes. The people were delighted to see it, and they all cheered and shouted that they were opening their jaws in a mighty manner. Zhang Jiao knew very well that victory should not be arrogant as a general, and he did not show the slightest hint of embarrassment. He just nodded and greeted the people. Yu Jin secretly watched Zhang Jia win in all his glory, feeling very unhappy in his heart. As for Le Jin, he was scolded by Xia Houyuan just now, blaming him for his incompetence in fighting, which allowed Gan Ning and Lu Meng to escape. Le Jin had no words to refute and had no choice but to swallow his resentment. Now that he saw Zhang Jia looking so majestic, he felt quite resentful in his heart. Zhang Jiao withdrew his troops back to the city, rewarded the three armies, recorded everyone's achievements, and sent people to write a letter to inform Cao Cao. The Wei army rested for five or six days, and Xia Houyuan came to Zhang Jia to persuade him.
"The morale of our army is at a high level. All the lieutenants, generals, and soldiers are looking forward to the war and have been promoted through meritorious service. Why not take advantage of the situation and send troops to regain Shouchun!?"
"Zhang Jia also had this intention, so he called Yue Jin and Yu Jin to see him. After a while, the two people arrived. He opened his jaw and informed him of his intention to send troops. Yu Jin and Le Jin looked at each other, both of them were eager to make contributions, and shouted in unison.
"If the general wants to send out troops, we will do our best to help and we are willing to be the vanguard!!"
Hearing this, he opened his jaw, pondered for a while, and cast a look at Xia Houyuan. Although Zhang Jiao was the commander-in-chief, Xia Houyuan's military position was higher than that of Zhang Jiao. Cao Cao sent him here with the intention of supervising the army, so Zhang Jiao would ask Xia Houyuan's opinion on everything. Xia Houyuan grinned and opened his jaw.
"Wen Qian and Wen Ze are both great generals in the world. If they are willing to be the vanguard, they will be able to defeat the Wu soldiers first!!"
Hearing the words, Zhang Jia ordered Yue Jin and Yu Jin to be the vanguard, leading 30,000 troops and horses to march to Shouchun first, and at the same time, they were delivered to the road.
"Both generals are meticulous people, but Zhou Gongjin of Soochow has always been deceitful, so we need to be careful about everything and never make any hasty advances."
Le Jin and Yu Jin listened. Although they promised in their mouths, they were disdainful in their hearts. On the same day, Le Jin and Yu Jin completed their army reorganization and led their troops to advance. Zhang Jia led 50,000 soldiers and horses to form the central army and then marched forward, while Xiahou Yuan led 20,000 soldiers and horses to escort the baggage and march forward.
But it was said that Sun Quan gathered his troops and horses in Shouchun. About half a month later, the soldiers were recharging their strength and were about to take revenge. Suddenly it was reported that Zhang Jia was leading an army of 100,000 people, hoping that Shouchun was coming to kill him. When Sun Quan heard this, his blue eyes widened with murderous intent, so he hurriedly summoned a group of civil and military officials to discuss with the county government. Zhou Yu advised them to first send Dong Xi and Xu Sheng to lead fifty large ships and ambush them at the ferry, and then order Chen Wu to lead men and horses to patrol the river bank. Sun Quan obeyed and made arrangements according to Zhou Yu's plan. Dong Xi, Xu Sheng, and Chen Wu took the order and left.
Lu Meng immediately came to the scene and shouted loudly.
"Zhang Jaw defeated our army soon, and his army's morale was strong. On the contrary, our army was afraid of Zhang Jaw. In my opinion, we must first dampen his spirit in order to shock the army!!"
After hearing this, Sun Quan's face became condensed, and he asked the generals in the hall what they were saying.
"Who dares to defeat the enemy first and weaken his spirit when he comes from afar?"
Hearing this, Ling Tong had long wanted to take revenge, so he attended the ceremony with great enthusiasm.
¡°Someone is willing to go!!¡±
Sun Quan looked at him and saw Ling Tong, his brows raised. Ling Tong was extremely talented. Although he was young, he was highly skilled in martial arts and was somewhat braver than his father, Ling Cao. There are few Jiangdong generals who can rival him. But because of this, Ling Tong was arrogant and looked down on the heroes of the world. The previous fierce battle, the extent of his injuries is unknown.Whether he recovered or not, he was eager for revenge. Ling Tong saw Sun Quan pondering, understood in his heart, and shouted quickly.
"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. The injuries on someone's body have recovered a lot and it won't be a problem!"
Sun Quan asked Ling Tong when he saw that he was high-spirited and unwilling to weaken his spirit.
"If Gongji wants to go, how many troops and horses will he need to bring?"
When Ling Tongyi heard this, his eyes widened and he shouted loudly.
"Three thousand people are enough!!"
As soon as Ling Tong said this, all the generals in the yamen were in a strange mood. Sun Quan said urgently.
"That army is at its peak and its performance must not be underestimated!!"
When Ling Tong heard this, his face was shocked and he shouted angrily.
"Our army was defeated the previous time, but it was bad luck and Zhang Junyi deceived us. If it is a head-on confrontation, I am not afraid! Three thousand is enough, I am willing to issue a military order!!"
As soon as Ling Tong said this, all the generals secretly sighed at his courage. Sun Quan silently looked at Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu nodded slightly. Sun Quan saw this and was about to agree. At this moment, Gan Ning let out a sneer. When Ling Tongyi heard this, he suddenly became furious, pointed his finger and shouted Gan Ning.
"Gan Xingba, what do you mean by that smile!?"
Gan Ning snorted coldly and said in attendance.
"If I go to war, I only need to lead my men with three hundred brocade sails to defeat the enemy. Why three thousand!!"
Ling Tong was furious when he heard this. Gan Ning turned a blind eye and said he was willing to issue a military order. The two started arguing in front of Sun Quan. When Zhou Yu saw the two fighting, he sighed secretly and said:
"The Wei army is powerful and we should not underestimate the enemy. It is better to order Gongji to set off first. If he encounters the vanguard of the Wei army, he will fight with him first. If he does not meet him, he will teach Xingba to advance the next day. In this round, see who can take the lead. achievement."
As soon as Zhou Yu said this, Ling Tong and Gan Ning had no objection. Sun Quan then issued an order accordingly. Ling Tong took the order and first led 3,000 troops to go out of the city to scout out the city that day. Ling Tong set off all the way and after traveling for more than ten miles, he suddenly saw the wind and dust in front of him. When Ling Tong saw it, he was overjoyed and immediately led his troops to meet him, just in time to meet Le Jinjun. When Le Jin saw a group of Wu soldiers in front of him, he was very happy and quickly urged the army to advance. When the two armies met, each set up a formation, and the two armies faced each other in a circle. Le Jin was riding out of the battle, but before he could say anything, Ling Tong gave a loud shout and came with a flying horse, carrying an iron whip. When Le Jin saw it was Ling Tong, he quickly roused himself. Ling Tong rode close to him and struck Le Jin in front of him with a whip. Le Jin dodged and narrowly avoided the attack. At this moment, Ling Tong swung the iron whip in his right hand and struck again. Le Jin swung his knife to resist. There was a loud bang, and the two weapons suddenly swung away. Le Jin had a look of surprise on his face, secretly thinking that Ling Tong was very powerful. Ling Tong was eager for revenge, whipped his whip wildly, and attacked Le Jin fiercely. Le Jin resisted with all his strength. The two fought for dozens of rounds, and Le Jin's knife style became increasingly chaotic. When Ling Tong saw it, he immediately accelerated his offensive. Le Jin thought to himself that he was no match for Ling Tong, so he hatched a plan. After three rounds, Le Jin suddenly found a gap. Ling Tong saw it with keen eyes and struck hard with his whip. Unexpectedly, Le Jin had been prepared and quickly dodged and rushed towards the horse. Ling Tongyi was unprepared. When Le Jin was about to approach, he ignored the sword coming and swept it away with his whip. Le Jin was frightened when he saw Ling Tong trying to fight for his life. In the midst of lightning and flint, Le Jin quickly drew back his sword and held it against the iron whip. Ling Tong was so powerful that he struck with a loud bang. Le Jin immediately fell to Ma Lai. When Ling Tong saw this, he was about to take advantage of the situation and kill Le Jin. At this moment, there was a loud sound of arrows. All he could see was a flash of light that was so fast and shadowless that it shot toward the right side of Ling Tong's face. A general in Ling Tong's army was frightened and shouted to be careful of cold arrows. Upon hearing this, Ling Tong subconsciously raised his whip, just in time to block the incoming arrow. The general who shot the arrow just now was Yu Jin. It turned out that when Yu Jin led his army to advance, he heard the sound of fighting in front, so he immediately guessed that Le Jin must have encountered Wu soldiers and rushed to help in the battle. At the same time, Le Jin took the opportunity to escape, mounted his horse and raised his sword, intending to kill again. Yu Jin led his army to kill him with a diagonal stab.
Ling Tong glared, but he was not afraid. He stared at Le Jin with his tiger eyes. Suddenly his horse flew up and he wanted to kill Le Jin before withdrawing his troops. Ling Tong rushed over with a fierce attack, and Le Jin was in danger of being killed by him. After a while, Yu Jin arrived, and the two Wei generals launched a counterattack. When the Wei soldiers around saw this, they all cheered.
Suddenly, behind the Wu army, another group of soldiers and horses arrived, and the leader was none other than Lu Meng. It turned out that Sun Quan was afraid that Ling Tongxinao had made some mistakes, so he ordered Lu Meng to send troops to respond.
Lu Meng led his troops and rushed over. Seeing Ling Tong being pinned down by Yue Jin and Yu Jin, he gave a sharp shout, raised his spear and leaped on his horse, rushing to help in the battle. The four of them were fighting in front of the formation, with swords, guns and shadows flying incessantly. The soldiers of both armies watched intently. However, Lu Meng and Ling Tong became more and more brave, while Le Jin and Yu Jin gradually fell into defeat. Dozens more times later, Le Jin was hit on the breastplate by Ling Tongyi's whip. Yu Jin was eager to save him, but Lu Meng swept away with his gun, and Yu Jin narrowly avoided it. Le Jin hurriedly shouted to the soldiers to charge and kill him. Lu Meng used his spear and also asked the soldiers to fight. The two armies fought for a while, and the Soochow army had a small victory, and then retreated.
Yu Jin and Le Jin withdrew their troops to a mountain pass and set up camp near the water. They ordered the sergeants to rest and sent a group of troops to investigate.But Gan Ning saw Ling Tong and Lu Meng and returned with a small victory. Gan Ning secretly went to Sun Quan to tell him.
"Although Ling Gongji won a small victory today, it was not enough to defeat the opponent's army. Ning only brought three hundred brocade sails to rob the Wei camp tonight. If one man and one horse are lost, it will not be counted as merit!!"
When Sun Quan heard this, he became more courageous and said in a condensed voice.
"Xingba's words are serious. It can be seen that there is no joke in the army. You can have a military order before. If it fails, not only will it be useless, but you will have to follow the law to prove the law!!"
After hearing this, Gan Ning¡¯s lips twitched and he shouted with emotion.
"How can a man go back on his word if he keeps his word! King Wu doesn't need to worry too much, he just waits for Ning's success!!"
After hearing this, Sun Quan covered his palms and laughed, and then rewarded the sergeant with three hundred bottles of wine and sixty pounds of mutton. That night, after wine and food arrived at the camp, Gan Ning summoned three hundred Jinfan warriors to sit down in the camp. Gan Ning divided the food and wine first, then poured wine into silver bowls and ate two bowls himself, Naiyu Jinfan Ruishi said with a smile.
"Tonight I have been ordered to rob the stronghold. You and I will each have a full drink and follow me to fight. If you have any, please tell me quickly!!"
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other. These three hundred men showed no fear at all. Instead, they all laughed. An extremely muscular man drank a bowl first and then shouted.
"The leader is a general, and he doesn't hesitate to die, so why should we hesitate! As long as we follow the big leader, not to mention the Wei camp, we will dare to break through even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of ??fire!!"
As soon as the big man said this, another man with a scar on his face stood up, drank the wine, and laughed.
"Haha!! We and the three hundred Jinfan thieves are wandering around in this troubled world with the big boss. We all have hundreds of lives on our hands. When we were in Jiangxia in the past, no one in the countryside could hear that I was waiting for Jinfan. The name of the Sail Thief will scare you to death! Today we will teach the people of Cao Wei how powerful the Sail Thief is!"
But all three hundred men were like Gan Ning, a wild and unrestrained generation. Gan Ning laughed loudly when he heard this, and everyone stood up to worship him and shouted, willing to die. Gan Ning ate all the wine and meat with 300 people. At about the second watch, he took 300 white goose feathers and stuck them on their helmets as numbers. They all wore armor and mounted their horses, with bells hung on their horses.
At the third watch of the night, most of the Wei troops went to rest. There were only a few hundred men and horses patrolling outside the village. Suddenly, there were bursts of bells ringing everywhere. It was dark at night, and I didn't know how many soldiers and horses were coming to kill me. The patrolling Wei soldiers were so frightened that their faces changed drastically, and they rushed back to the stronghold, shouting that Wu soldiers were coming to kill them. Le Jin woke up when he heard this, hurriedly put on his armor, picked up his sword and went out of the tent. He grabbed a soldier and asked how many troops Wu soldiers had come. Before the soldier could answer, the sound of the bells became louder and louder, as if urging someone to die. The Wei soldiers were frightened and panicked before fighting.
In a moment, Gan Ning led 300 men and horses to rush to the edge of the stronghold, pulled out the antlers, shouted and charged into the stronghold. Gan Ning held a knife in one hand and an iron chain with the other, and suddenly ran towards the Chinese army to kill them. The Wei soldiers thought that a large number of Wu soldiers were coming to attack, and they were disturbed by the sound of the bell, so they were caught off guard. Gan Ning's flying horse rushed in, swinging the iron chains, knocking over a dozen fire trays in a row, and immediately burned seven or eight tents.
