When the Jiaozhou Army launched an attack on Soochow, the Shanyue Yangyue who responded internally along with the Jiaozhou Army attacked the Wu Army everywhere. With this combination of internal and external responses, the Wu Army suddenly felt overwhelmed. The commotion caused panic within Soochow, and people said to each other: "Have you heard? Wu Fan, Liu Dun, and Zhao Da, the divine fortune tellers, calculated that Wu Hui would be destroyed, so they all chose to leave!" "Yes! Yes! Listen! I said it! Have you heard of such a thing?" "What's the matter?" "Isn't there a prophecy, 'When Wu is defeated, the soldiers will rise from the south, and those who die will be from the south.' Now the war disasters are all because of the south Jiaozhou, and now that the Jiaozhou army has come to attack, isn't that the answer to the call to 'raise troops from the south'?" "Now that Wu has no strong soldiers and good generals, and no help from outside, what else can be done to save Wu?"
¡°Speeches like this flooded the entire territory of Soochow, making people uneasy. Liu Bei wanted to enter Jingzhou to aid Soochow, but he was held back by Cao Jun who entered Jingzhou. Sun Quan knew that Soochow was now at a critical moment of life and death, so he sent three generals, Xu Sheng, Ding Feng, and Zhu Huan, to lead troops to resist the Jiaozhou Army. And he gathered all the people he could to fight to the death with the Jiaozhou Army to preserve the Sun family's foundation.
Sun Shao, Sun Yu and other Sun clan members rushed to Sun Quan's place one after another. Even if they did not bring troops, they went alone. They wanted the whole family to work together to fight this final battle.
I got the news and gathered everyone to discuss it. I would first say: "Now the four generals Xu Sheng, Ding Feng, and Zhu Huan are in dangerous positions, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack. What plan can be used to defeat them at this time?" Xuan Zheng said: " These three generals are brave and strategic, especially Ding Feng, who is the most courageous. Xu Sheng and Zhu Huan are both good at defending and can suppress an enemy army several times their own with a very small number of troops! So this is why Sun Quan sent them three The reason why people came to lead the army to block it! Defeat these three people first, take advantage of the fact that Wu's troops cannot gather Jianye and capture Jianye in one fell swoop. Then although Wu's land spreads the message widely, it can be determined! I have already planned to defeat these three people, because I followed Sun Ce. Sun Jiao's sons, Sun Yin, Sun Xi, Sun Zi, Sun Mi, and Sun Yi, who died together in the battle, were sad that Sun Quan's forged orders delayed the arrival of various armies, thereby causing their father to die in the battle, so they wanted to help us. To defeat Sun Quan and avenge his father! The matter is confidential, this can be used! Let them lead out Xu Sheng and Zhu Huan, then won¡¯t the Wu army be defeated? Zhu Huan is conceited and ashamed of being a subordinate, as long as he is saved He often gets angry when he is unable to control his troops freely. This kind of character can help us recruit surrender!" It seems that Xuan Zheng has already made a plan.
"Okay! Great! Just tell Sun Jiao's five sons that I will not treat them badly! Zihong, now you pass on my order. I will build a temple to worship Sun Ce, Sun Jiao and other soldiers who died in vain!" I command. Xuan Zheng already understood that what I was doing was an act to gain people's support, so of course he did it as soon as possible.
After receiving my promise, Sun Yin, Sun Xi, Sun Zi, Sun Mi, and Sun Yi pretended to go to help Xu Sheng and others fight. Xu Sheng heard that he could not neglect the Sun family, so he naturally went to greet him in person. What comes to mind is that I just met five people and they were arrested by them. Sun Yin then sent his younger brother Sun Yi to report to me, and I immediately attacked Xu Sheng's camp. When Zhu Huan didn't know it, I pretended to be Xu Sheng's soldiers and quickly attacked Zhu Huan. Zhu Huan had to retreat to protect the isolated city, and sent people to attack Sun Quan. Ask for help.
Suddenly, Wuzhong's courage was shattered. Sun Quan heard that it was the betrayal of Sun Jiao's sons that led to Xu Sheng's arrest, and he became wary of Sun Yu. After all, Sun Yu and Sun Jiao were brothers, and now his nephew They were all betrayed, not to mention him? Sun Yu couldn't feel at ease after knowing this.
After Ding Feng heard the news that Xu Sheng had trapped Zhu Huan and was trapped, he drew his sword and shouted: "Now our army has been defeated repeatedly and our soldiers have lost their morale. We must have a victory to cheer up people. Otherwise, how can we defeat Jiaozhou?" Army?" Ding Feng's brother Ding Feng said: "Brother, Generals Xu and Zhu are the chief generals. We are restricted by the fact that we do not have enough troops in our hands and have no right to dispatch other troops. What's more, after General Xu is captured, there will be no troops available for dispatch. If there are too many, General Zhu is trapped in an isolated city and cannot come out to help me. How can we defeat the enemy like this?"
Ding Feng replied: "If the enemy thinks like you according to their usual thinking, then we have the possibility of success! I only have a small partial division that I can't worry about, and my troops are very small. I believe the enemy won't take it to heart! Since In this way, miracles await miracles, and this is the time to achieve miracles! Courage can determine the outcome! Brother Feng, order my seven hundred men and horses to have a full meal, and then get ready to attack the Jiaozhou military camp at night! Even if you cannot defeat the Jiaozhou army, , as long as the loyal flag is cut down, morale can be boosted!" "Okay!" Ding Feng saw Ding Feng's courage, and his heart was filled with pride.
When I just stepped out of the tent, a gust of wind suddenly blew up, breaking the flagpole and causing the flag to fall to the ground. When I heard this, my face changed and I said, "This is an ominous sign. Why was the flag in front of me blown to the ground as soon as I came out? I have to be on guard tonight! Someone is coming!" "Here!" My dear The guard is waiting for orders. I ordered: "Tighten the alert tonight! Take precautions and strengthen the security force! Send more manpower to each sentry post! Especially the number of secret posts will be three times higher than normal!" "Yes!" The personal guards went to pass the order.
At night, Ding Feng and his 700 men and horses came secretlyAt the edge of the Jiaozhou military camp, Ding Feng was overjoyed when he saw that the guard was not tight. He casually shot an arrow and shot down the people on the archery tower. Then they all poured into the village gate, but when Ding Fenggang entered the village gate, he didn't expect soldiers from all sides to pour out. It turned out that when Ding Fenggang came, he was discovered by the secret sentry of the Jiaozhou Army and immediately reported back, so he had prepared an ambush in advance. ambush.
Ding Feng rushed left and right, but he could not get out of the conflict. He was exhausted. He saw that most of his soldiers were captured, and his younger brother Ding Feng was also captured.
"Hahaha! I can't do it, I can't do it! It's like this, why don't the defeated generals die? There is no need to insult my name of Soochow!" After saying this, he wanted to kill himself with the sword across his neck. A stone hit Ding Feng's arm and the sword fell to the ground. I said to Ding Feng: "General Ding, why can't you think about it? The reason why you were defeated was not because of your incompetence, it was God's will! I will send the general to be with Governor Zhou and General Xu! Governor and Lu Zijing are living well. .You can rest assured!" Ding Feng remained silent.
Zhu Huan, who was in the city, saw the commotion outside the city. When he went out of the city, he saw that Ding Feng was surrounded, and there were many Jiaozhou troops under the city to be on guard. He led his troops out of the city to help. This time, I saw that Ding Feng wanted to kill himself, but failed. Instead, he became a "guest" and was "invited". Zhu Huan looked at his soldiers, all of whom looked depressed, and some even said: "It's better to surrender!" There were many people who agreed. Without fighting spirit, how long can the city be defended?
The general said: "General, now there are no good generals in Soochow to strengthen the troops, and there is no help from outside. Since we have to face the attack of the powerful Cao Wei and the Jiaozhou Army, and their power is gone, it is better to surrender! Besides, Sun Quan committed a crime that killed his brother. How can such people serve him for such a crime? How can we expect Jianye to send reinforcements when we are trapped in an isolated city!"
Zhu Huan looked around at everyone and said: "As the old saying goes, loyal ministers do not care about the two masters. How can I surrender? I want to fight to the death! If you want to surrender, then I will let you go out of the city to surrender to Fan Li. Fan Li is a wise king. He will not surrender." It will hurt you! He also wants to win over the people of Wu by treating those who surrender favorably."
The soldiers heard this and knelt down: "General Zhu, if you don't surrender, we are all willing to fight to the death with General Zhu, and we will die without regrets!" The general said: "General, since you have been appointed commander of Yuyao Get up, I will follow you! If the general goes to hell, then I will be with the general! Please order the general to open the city gate immediately, I am willing to lead the army to fight!"
I rode alone to the city and shouted: "General Zhu, you are a general who can stand alone! It's a pity that Sun Quan doesn't know how to reuse you! Let Hu Zong suppress you just because he studies with me! I feel sorry for the general! And I am deeply afraid of the general. Tianwei. Now I want to bypass this city and find another way to attack Wu! General, please take care!" I turned around, waved the flag, and ordered: "Withdraw troops!"
All the troops and horses were withdrawn at once, leaving only Zhu Huan who still didn't know what was going on. He sent people out of the city to investigate and reported that all the Jiaozhou troops had really retreated. Zhu Huan recalled what happened last night and knew that the city was already undefendable, but the other party gave up on the city that was within easy reach, which was tantamount to letting him go to avoid failure and humiliation. Zhu Huan is grateful for the fact that this has given him a big step forward for his always conceited self. His subordinates couldn't believe that the Jiaozhou Army had retreated, and they all celebrated with their hands on their foreheads.
Zhu Huan figured it out and said: "Send people to chase Fan Jiaozhou quickly! Tell Fan Jiaozhou that I am willing to conquer the world for Fan Jiaozhou! I will contribute to Jiaozhou's hegemony!" Everyone was stunned when they heard it, then woke up, and then immediately to execute the order.
The reason why I withdrew the troops was because I listened to Xuan Zheng's opinion. For Zhu Huanlai, who has always been conceited, being tough was counterproductive, while being soft made him surrender. Now it's successful. Zhu Huan is said to be a capable general of Wu. His surrender was a huge blow to Wu, and it was also very beneficial to persuade Zhou Yu and others, who I "respected as a distinguished guest", to surrender.
Xu Sheng was shaken when he heard that Zhu Huan had surrendered, but he still refused to surrender. I had no choice but to slowly separate and wait until Zhou Yu, Zhou Tai and others surrendered.
When the news of Zhu Huan's surrender came to Jianye, people became more understanding and Sun Quan fell into panic.
Highlights of the next chapter: Bu Zhi stood outside and saw Sun Quan angry. He wanted to scream but didn't know what to say. Sun Quan found him and called out, "Bu Zhi, what's the matter with you?" Bu Zhi said, "Luo Tong said that Fan Li had killed Yuan Shu to avenge his father Luo Jun, so he wanted to join Fan Li. The bad guys have fled! I'm afraid more people will imitate them and flee. That way"
