- "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. If the Wei invaders use a ladder to attack the city, we can quickly prepare fire starters such as fish oil and saltpeter. When the Wei invaders approach with the ladder, we can set it on fire. The Wei invaders will definitely be defeated!!"
After hearing this, Sun Quan immediately became happy and clapped his hands in greeting. At this time, Gu Yong showed up and frowned.
"But the old thief Cao has always been very familiar with the art of war. Doesn't he know that when attacking the city with a ladder, he must be on guard against fire!? I'm afraid that the old thief has a conspiracy secretly!! You must be on guard!!"
"As soon as Gu Yong said this, the hall suddenly became filled with cries of crows." Sun Quan frowned more and more, then looked at Lu Su, who had been silent, and asked in a solemn voice.
"In the opinion of the Grand Governor, what should we do?"
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry too much. Things on the battlefield are changing rapidly. Our generals, ministers and counselors work together, perform their duties, and adapt to changes. With the danger and strength of Nanchang, we are not afraid of the Wei invaders!!"
Lu Su's face was solemn, and every word was clank. Sun Quan felt strong in his heart when he heard it, his blue eyes shot into the sky, he clapped his hands on the table, and nodded in response.
"What the Governor said is true. Although the Wei invaders are strong, if we and other heroes from Soochow can unite as one and fight to the death to defend the enemy, what should the Wei invaders have to fear!?"
After Sun Quan finished speaking, L¨¹ Meng, Lu Su, Ding Feng, Zhu Ran, Quan Cong and other generals, as well as counselors such as Gu Yong and Bu Zhi, all attended. They all knelt down and shouted in unison.
"I and others must use all their strength to drive back the Wei invaders!!"
The night passed, and the sun rose high the next day. With the sound of drums beating in the Wei army's stronghold, three passes were launched in succession, and the armies moved vigorously. Nearly 160,000 troops filled the mountains and fields towards Nanchang City. Waves of shouts of killing shook the sky and the earth. The Wu soldiers at the north gate of Nanchang City saw in the mountains and forests ahead, banners all over the sky, swords and guns blocking out the sun, and crowds of people, all filled with Wei soldiers and horses. Before their troops arrived, the majestic military power had already covered the north gate city. All the Wu soldiers were so frightened that their expressions changed drastically and they were frightened. Zhu Ran, the guard at the north gate, saw that the Wei army was gathering troops to watch the North Gate attack, so he hurriedly reported to Sun Quan. Sun Quan heard this and led his generals to come. When Sun Quan arrived, he saw Wei soldiers under the city in formation seven or eight miles away. They were divided into four groups according to their teams and colors. I saw the red army of the front army led by Zhang Jia, with the left and right wings being green and soap. The green army was led by Xia Houyuan, and the soap army was led by Jiang Wei. Cao Cao led the black army and stayed in the rear. There are forty thousand soldiers and horses in each department, and they move according to the orders of drums and put into formation. It is said that Jiang Wei was young and had been an official for a short time, but he repeatedly launched an attack. When he first came to the army, he proposed a plan and saw through Lu Xun's plan to rob Tieshan. Later, he proposed a plan to Dian Wei and successfully intercepted and killed Gan Ning. Not long ago, he performed meritorious service in protecting the army and was granted an important position by Cao Cao. Now he is able to unify the army by himself. This shows how much Cao Cao attaches great importance to Jiang Wei. Of course, Jiang Wei has extraordinary abilities, but the important thing is that he is Guo Jia's disciple. Cao Cao knew very well how Guo Jia knew people. If Jiang Wei was a scheming person, or someone with evil intentions, Guo Jia would never accept him as his disciple. Moreover, Guo Jia once said to Cao Cao that Jiang Wei was loyal, affectionate and righteous, and he would definitely repay the kindness he received from others with a spring of water. Before leaving, Guo Jia said something, implying that if he passes away, Jiang Wei's talents will be enough to assist Cao Cao in his place. The relationship between Cao Cao and Guo Jia is extraordinary, so I naturally keep it in mind. Sometimes Jiang Wei is regarded as Guo Jia's shadow. Of course, these are off-topic.
? Return to the main story. At present, only 160,000 Wei troops were seen, each in a formation, beating drums in three directions, and suddenly there were loud shouts of killing, and soldiers from all units raised their weapons. Cao Cao rode his horse and galloped from the rear army to the banner of the front army gate. He shouted loudly and asked Sun Quan to come out and answer. Sun Quan heard this from the city, his face was cold, and he snorted coldly, then went down to the city with two generals, Lu Meng and Ding Feng, and hundreds of cavalry, and rushed out of the city gate. The distance between the two armies was very far, and there were deep ditches and earthen barriers for defense. Sun Quan was not afraid of Cao Cao's sudden attack by his troops.
When Cao Cao saw Sun Quan riding his horse out of the city, his face was shocked. He rode the horse for several feet and shouted loudly.
"Bi Yan'er, you are exhausted, why don't you surrender to me. As long as you serve in Soochow secretly, I can return your situation, and you can still be orphaned in Soochow and preserve the inheritance of your father and brother!!"
When Sun Quan heard this, his face condensed, and a strange light shone in his eyes. At this time, Lu Meng who was on the side quickly urged him.
"The king must not fall into the trap of the old thief. If the king surrenders to Wei, we and all the ministers will be able to preserve their wealth, but the king will be humiliated!!"
When Sun Quan heard this, his green eyes widened and he asked coldly.
"Ziming, why do you say this?!"
Lu Meng¡¯s face was filled with emotion, his eyes were shining, and he said in a condensed voice.
"If the Mongols and others surrender to Cao Wei, they should return the favor to the township party, monitor them secretly, and teach their ministers to hand over the Soochow counties one by one. Over time, the ministers of Soochow will surrender to Cao Cao one after another. And the king surrendered With Cao Cao, he has lost the people's support. Although he can survive, he can only ride one chariot and one horse, and he can never ride more than a few people. What's the use of being alone in the south!"
Lu Meng drank it, Sun Quan suddenly woke up, his face was full of anger, and he shouted angrily.
"Old thief Cao!! Don't talk nonsense, Gushi is different from you!!"
Sun Quan¡¯s voice was like a bell, shaking all directions. When all the Wu soldiers in the city heard this, they were all shocked. After hearing this, Cao Cao's face suddenly turned cold, but he soon returned to normal and shouted in a solemn voice.
"Biyan'er, your father and brother, Sun Wentai and Sun Bofu, are both heroes of the world. They worked hard to achieve the prosperity of Soochow. Now you can't keep your foundation, but you teach Soochow's talents to sacrifice their lives for you, so that the lives of Soochow are in ruins. You How can I bear it! How can I have the dignity to see your father and brother in the future!?
When Sun Quan heard this, he heard Bi Yan shooting all of them wildly. He roared and wanted to order his troops to go and capture Cao Cao. When Lu Meng saw this, he was afraid that Sun Quan would fall into the trap, so he quickly persuaded him.
"Your Majesty, please calm down!! Old thief Cao is very clever and is the best at using this method to provoke generals. You must not fall into the trap!!"
Sun Quan was so angry that he gnashed his teeth and was furious, but he knew that Lu Meng's words were true, so he endured his anger and roared.
"Old thief!! You raised an unjust army and offended Soochow. How could I be willing to be humiliated by you! The talented people of Soochow are all loyal and righteous people, how could they be your pawns!!"
"We will fight with the Wei invaders to the death, until the end!!"
As soon as Sun Quan finished speaking, Lu Meng raised his weapons and shouted loudly, and the soldiers around him also shouted. Many generals and soldiers on the city also raised their weapons angrily and shouted.
"We will fight with the Wei invaders to the death, until the end!!"
"We will fight with the Wei invaders to the death, until the end!!"
In an instant, waves of sound from Wu soldiers shook the sky, as if the whole city of Nanchang was shaking. Cao Cao's face became colder and colder as he listened, and he snorted coldly.
"You are stubborn and will destroy yourself! You deserve to die!!"
After Cao Cao finished drinking, he reined in his horse and retreated to the rear. After a while, the sound of drums was heard everywhere in the Wei army's formation, and 160,000 Wei soldiers shouted in unison to kill. Cao Cao pulled out the Heavenly Sword and issued military orders. The red army in the front army acted upon the order, opened their jaws and shouted angrily, leading their troops to charge. When Sun Quan saw the Wei soldiers moving on the city wall, his face suddenly condensed, his eyes widened, and he shouted quickly to order the soldiers to get ready. Opening his jaw, he led the army forward, crossed the deep ditch, and avoided the earthen barrier. The Wei soldiers rushed forward. Seeing that Zhang Jaw's army was about to approach, Sun Quan gave an order, and the crossbowmen on the city immediately pulled their bows and strings, and arrows rained down like rain. He opened his jaws and shouted angrily. He quickly taught the sword and shield hand to build a shield wall to resist. Several arrows hit the shield walls one after another, making loud noises. Cao Cao watched with cold eyes, and then ordered again. The sound of the drums suddenly changed, and Jiang Wei and Xia Houyuan's troops immediately rushed up, carrying earth around and filling in the trenches. The soldiers and horses in front of the open jaws were protected by shield walls. When Sun Quan saw this in the city, his expression changed continuously, and he asked Lu Su anxiously beside him.
"The Wei invaders are filling in the trenches and will attack the city with weapons. What should we do!?"
Lu Su looked solemn after hearing this, squinted his eyes, and replied quickly.
"Although the Wei invaders have a large number of soldiers, it will take a lot of time to fill up all the trenches outside the city. Our army will wait for work in the city. When the Wei invaders are exhausted, they will rush out and kill the Wei invaders. No piece of armor left!¡±
When Sun Quan heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and secretly said that it was wonderful. His heart was determined, and he issued orders to the generals behind him to teach them how to prepare. Lu Meng, Ding Feng and other generals were ordered to go their separate ways. As a result, 160,000 Wei soldiers and tens of thousands of Wu soldiers stood in a stalemate at the north gate of Nanchang until noon. With the combined efforts of nearly 80,000 soldiers, one-third of the trench outside the city was filled. Seeing that there was no movement in the city, Cao Cao was just teaching the archers to shoot arrows randomly, and he sneered in his heart, but he knew that the Wu people were waiting for work. At this time, a general suddenly arrived. Cao Cao took a closer look and saw that it was Jiang Wei. Jiang Wei was anxious to persuade Cao Cao.
"Your Majesty, there is no movement among the Wu soldiers in the city except for attacking with bows and crossbows. There must be some deception in this. Our three armies have already gone out, and each of them has spent their energy. If the Wu soldiers wait for work in the city, they will be in full force when our army is exhausted. What should I do if I go out?¡±
When Cao Cao heard this, he laughed and talked to Jiang Wei.
"Bo Yue, don't worry too much. I have already figured it out. You can quickly teach the trench-filling soldiers to slow down secretly and retain their strength, but listen to the order and withdraw immediately. I also sent my order to teach Zhang Junyi to prepare secretly and act according to the opportunity! ! I have my own plan to deal with it!¡±
Jiang Wei was shocked after hearing this. He suddenly remembered what Guo Jia had said, saying that Cao Cao was an unparalleled hero and his strategies were so advanced that no one expected. Only then did Jiang Wei realize that his master's words were true and he respected Cao Cao extremely. He accepted the order and quickly rode away, following Cao Cao's instructions and giving secret orders.
Gradually, as time goes by, the sun sets over the west mountain and it is already dusk. The sky was orange-yellow with a hint of red. Under Cao Cao's orders, Jiang Wei and Xia Houyuan's armies have slowed down their efforts to fill the ditch, and the Red Army led by Zhang Jia in the front has also retreated, and most of the arrows on the city are out of reach. Suddenly??, the sound of the Wei army's drumming changed again, and Jiang Wei, Xiahou Yuanqing's and Zao's soldiers and horses slowly retreated. The Red Army led by Zhang Jia also retreated farther and farther.
Lu Su, who was commanding the troops to fight, was overjoyed when he saw this. He could tell at a glance that the Wei army was about to withdraw, and he quickly sent a general to report it.
But it was said that Sun Quan was waiting in the enemy tower on the city when he suddenly heard the news from the soldiers that the Wei army was suspected of withdrawing. He was immediately overjoyed and rushed out to take a look. Sure enough, the three-color Wei bandits under the city slowly retreated, and the black rear army led by Cao Cao also had the tendency to retreat. Sun Quan's green eyes shot into the sky and he laughed loudly.
"Hahahaha, old thief, this time I will teach you these hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, blood will flow like a river, and the army will be defeated like a mountain!!"
Sun Quan finished laughing and was about to give an order. At this moment, Lu Xun's expression suddenly changed and he said quickly.
"Your Majesty, wait a minute! I see that the two armies of Wei invaders who have been filling up the soil have been slowing down since noon. If the old thieves had predicted this, what would they have done!? Your Majesty, you still need to be cautious!!"
As soon as Lu Xun said this, Sun Quan frowned, but there was a look of displeasure on his face. Lu Xun's previous miscalculations caused heavy losses to his army, including the loss of two generals, Gan Ning and Ling Tong, allowing hundreds of thousands of Wei invaders to cross the Yangtze River. Although Sun Quan clearly blamed Lu Xun, he had already felt disgust in his heart. If it weren't for Lu Xun's many extraordinary achievements in the past, and it was the right time to employ people now, Sun Quan might have killed Lu Xun to vent his hatred!
As soon as the thought passed, Sun Quan looked cold, turned to look at Lu Xun, and shouted coldly.
"The war is going on now and Soochow is in danger. Now is a great opportunity to hit the Wei invaders hard. How can we delay it!!? If Boyan is timid, he can just wait for the news in the city!" - Didn't finish reading?
