.    Chapter 349 Gan Xingba

    In the military tent of Jiangdong Camp, ten miles south of Tancheng, Quanrou and Lingcao, who were gray-faced and covered in mud, were kneeling on the ground with their heads lowered and saying nothing, while Sun Jian, who was sitting in the front seat, also had a solemn face.  .  It was Xu Huang's order to lead troops to sneak attack on the Jizhou reinforcements camp led by Xu Huang. However, the number of soldiers now is no more than a hundred.

    Sun Jian¡¯s face was not good-looking, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and others around him also had pale faces, and even Zhou Yu sighed helplessly.  He originally disapproved of sending troops for a sneak attack at this time, but the old generals Cheng and Huang supported their lord, and this was the tragedy in front of him.  Although the loss of more than 7,000 troops and horses would not cause Jiangdong any pain, it would be an extremely heavy blow to morale.

    The atmosphere inside the tent was very low. Even the soldiers standing guard outside the tent could feel the slightest chill. No one dared to speak. They could only hear bursts of heavy breathing coming from the ears and noses of Sun Jian and the generals.

    If you consume it like this, you can't change the thousands of lives. Sun Jian hummed twice. He said that the battle would be strong. If I didn't listen to Gong Jin's advice, it would not affect thousands of disciples of Jiangdong.  The two of you are not doing well in leading the army. Let's note it down for the time being. When the war is over, we will sort it out together.  "Sun Jian can be regarded as a lifelong hero. Even if he had resentment in his heart, he still endured it.

    "I am ashamed to accept what my lord said." Zhou Yu would not admit Sun Jian's words just like that. He immediately clasped his fists and said that Yu had not seen Xu You's poisonous plan clearly, causing the two generals to lose their troops. Yu accepted the punishment for this crime.  "

    As soon as these words came out, Zhou Gongjin's magnanimity was evident. The faces of Cheng Pu and Huang Gai turned red. They were the 'accomplices' in this matter.  Zhou Yu could bear this unwarranted punishment, and a few of them could still say that they all went out to kneel down, clasped their fists and opened their mouths to take the blame for the unfavorable deployment of troops.

    The defeat on the battlefield originally made Sun Jian very angry, but now he was quite satisfied in his heart, at least all his generals were united.  At this time, Sun Ce also opened his mouth to expose Quan Rou and the two, and Sun Jian waved his hand and ordered the two drowned rats to be cleaned before they could meet again.

    After Quan Rou and Ling Cao left, Zhou Yu spoke again, "Master." With the current situation, Tancheng added reinforcements, and the already biased situation will inevitably reach a deadlock again.  However, the reinforcements from Jizhou are unknown, and it is unknown whether Xuzhou can be captured.  In Yu's opinion, the lord can continue to attack the city while moving the Guangling population to Jiangdong.  "

    The subtext of Zhou Yu's words was to tell Sun Jian that there was no way to take Xuzhou, but he could increase the population, but naturally Sun Jian was not satisfied with this situation.  In order to expedition to Xuzhou, Sun Jian had spent more than 80% of Jiangdong's food and luggage. He would not be reconciled if it was just like this.

    However, the situation is stronger than the others, and Sun Jian is also at this moment. The enemy is strong and I am weak. It has become an illusion to seize the city and consolidate Xuzhou. He looked around at the generals for a long time, gritted his teeth and said to Ziheng, the matter of relocating the people of Guangling will be left to you.  I have a lot of land in the east of the Yangtze River, and if I can make a small profit, I don't have to worry about the people in Guangling not wanting to go south.  "

    "Promise." Lu Fan, who had just been promoted from a minor official at the county level, immediately stepped out of the queue after hearing the words and agreed with fists clasped in his arms.  He also wanted to earn credit by following Sun Jian, but there were too many senior generals here, and he was completely redundant. He could only get an errand at the moment, so it was nothing.  And from his point of view, if this thing is done well, the merit is no less than conquering the city.

    A few simple words have destined millions of people to stay away from home. Such is the cruelty of the corrupt world.  After saying this, Zhou Yu stopped talking and retreated. The other generals also said that their lord must be in a bad mood now, and none of them said anything.  There was no one there, and Sun Jian was too angry to say anything, so he could only wave his hands to dismiss the meeting.

    Jiangdong¡¯s discussion was over, but the roar of curses in Cao¡¯s camp was only halfway through.  More than 10,000 soldiers were lost in one day, and even his most capable general Li Dian was killed in the battle.  Cao Cao, who originally thought he had everything under control, now even did such shameless things as throwing bowls and dishes, but the anger in his heart still did not go away.

    Looking at the corpse of Li Dian brought by Jizhou soldiers in front of him, Cao Cao's eyes turned red for the first time and he could hardly suppress the tears in his eyes.  Cao Cao was like this, not to mention the underground generals, Li Dian was a sincere person, and he had many friends in the army, but now he was dead. Even the very nervous Xu Chu couldn't accept this contrast.

    "My lord, give me a certain soldier. He will rush into Tancheng to avenge Mancheng." Xia Houyuan gritted his teeth and knelt down on one knee to ask for battle.  Li Dian died, and his eldest brother Xiahou Dun was also seriously injured and fell into a coma after returning to camp. He had to pay this debt.

    "My lord, I also ask for a fight." "Hong Yiyuan leads the troops." "My lord, give me the order." The generals all around knelt down to ask for a fight. They all looked at Cao Cao resolutely. This kind of courage may have been something they had only half an hour ago.  No.

    "That's enough." How could Cao Cao, who was already upset, agree with these guys' reckless decision? Even if he shouted coldly and angrily, it wouldn't matter to me.He ordered that no one be allowed to leave the camp and go to Yangzhou. You should send someone to send Mancheng's body back to Yanzhou for a good burial. Don't let his soul go to another place.  "

    "I know." Liu Ye nodded heavily, said no more, and called on the soldiers around him to take Li Dian's body down for cleaning.

    As the saying goes, basing happiness on the pain of others, Sun Jian and Cao Cao were in extreme pain that night. Naturally, Zhang Fei, Xu Huang and others in the city held a feast to celebrate their success.  Originally, this kind of thing was not allowed. After all, the war was not over yet, so starting to celebrate the victory would make people feel extravagant and luxurious, which would demoralize the military.

    But the celebration is just right now. The end of this celebration banquet heralds that the soldiers in the city finally gained the initiative in the Battle of Xuzhou.  Now it is not up to Sun and Cao to decide whether to fight or make peace, but the generals in the city.

    "Ziyuan, should we go out of the city to meet the enemy next?" After drinking for three rounds, Taishi Ci couldn't help but ask. Now that Cao Cao's soldiers and horses have been hit hard and their morale is low, if he doesn't seize this opportunity to kill them,  Leaving it in the future is always a problem.  "

    Hearing Taishi Ci talking about business, many civil and military officials present stopped eating and drinking to look at Xu You. Xu You was very satisfied with the attention. He stroked his beard and thought for a moment before saying that if he went out of the city to fight tomorrow, he would definitely be attacked by Sun Cao.  It is not a good opportunity for the two companies to jointly fight back.  Since we have such a great victory, why should we be so anxious?  It was Sun and Cao who should be anxious.  "

    Xu You¡¯s ability to keep a clear mind is the biggest difference between the top counselors of the Han Dynasty and ordinary counselors.  Although some of the generals were dissatisfied with his remarks, Xu You was a marching strategist. According to the practice of Jizhou military and horse warfare, the strategist had the so-called "one-vote veto power". As long as he felt something was inappropriate, he would  Zhang Fei could not lead his troops out of the city on his own.

    When the banquet finally came to an end, when many heads of scholar families who had taken refuge in Jizhou left one after another, Zhang Fei took Xu You, Xu Huang and others to the living room.  In the past, there were many people in the hall talking about things, and there was no way to ask questions clearly. Now that there are only people, there is no need to cover up. How is my lord now?  Who dares to assassinate the lord?  "

    Xu You frowned slightly, glanced at Xu Huang and then said that his master's injury has recovered, and it is reported that he will lead his troops south in the near future.  The person behind the assassination has not yet been found.  "The fact that Zhen Yao was assassinated and seriously injured can be said to be a top secret in Jizhou. It cannot be leaked to the outside world at all. Otherwise, if many aristocratic families in Xuzhou know about it, trouble will definitely happen again.

    Seeing that the generals looked unhappy, Xu You had to pause for a moment before continuing to speak. In the past few days, more sentries will be sent to the north to explore, and they must find Zhang Jaw before Cao Cao.  I'm afraid that if Cao Cao knows that Zhang Jaw is coming here, he will definitely send troops to stop him.  Jun Yi doesn't have many soldiers and horses under his command, so getting rid of Zang Ba will definitely consume a lot of combat power. This is the time when he is weak.  "

    Zhang Fei nodded firmly when he heard this. Xu You didn't need to tell him that he could do this, but Zhao Yun said to him, "strategist, are we really not going to go out of the city to meet the enemy?"  With the bravery of the cavalry in the city, this is a great opportunity to break the formation.  "

    Hearing this, Xu You raised his eyebrows slightly, with a sly smile on his face. It was because of this that he and Yi De were not allowed to lead the troops out of the city.  The Sun and Cao families now only have a last-ditch fight. If you expected it to be true, they should contact the restless nobles in the city in the next few days.  At that time, we can use this matter as an excuse to eliminate the opposition voices in the city."

    Although Xu You's overall view is not as good as Guo Jia's, his vision is still very far-sighted. In his mind's layout, Xuzhou can basically be declared captured.  However, there are still a lot of unsightly guys among them. This is what they do in Jizhou, and I might as well give it a try in Xuzhou. I think my lord is very happy to do this kind of 'action'.

    Xu You¡¯s remarks made Zhang Fei and others dumbfounded. This guy seemed to be addicted to this business and wanted to get rid of these aristocratic families every day.  Xu Huang, who was marching with him along the way, felt even more deeply, because along the way, Xu You led his soldiers and horses to deal with many noble clans from various places, and there were even a century-old clan among them.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    At dawn the next day, there was a rare phenomenon of soldiers and horses sieging the city outside the city. Zhang Fei and others were also happy to rest for a while. Although yesterday was a big victory, it also consumed a lot of energy and only slept for a while.  Two sleeps are definitely not going to make up for it.

    And while the Sun and Cao families were discussing how to reverse the situation in Cao's camp, Zhang Jaw also came to the north of Tancheng with 7,000 soldiers under his command.  Seven thousand Euphorbia warriors ran day and night in the mountains and forests, and finally got rid of the Taishan bandits behind them.  But the more reason for this was that Zang Ba didn't want to pursue him anymore. He just had an agreement with Cao Cao, but he didn't want to get involved in the Tancheng war.

    Even Xu You and Xu Huang didn't guess that Zhang Jia could arrive at Tancheng so quickly, and the Sun and Cao families didn't even have the 'second' reinforcements to arrive.Zhang Jaw found a spring in the mountains to the north of the city, and took the soldiers to bathe happily before starting to prepare and march towards the city. During this period, not even a single soldier dared to show up to stop him.

    The arrival of Zhang Jia made Xu Huang relieved. In the past few days, he felt uneasy thinking that Zhang Jia would be trapped in a tight siege as a bait. Now not only are people here, but even the soldiers under his command have not lost much, but it is another happy event.  .

    ????????????? When Sun and Cao knew that another soldier and horse had entered Tancheng, it had been more than three hours since Zhang Jia entered the city.  Thinking of Tancheng, which was already strong in military strength, adding elite soldiers, whether it was Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Chen Yu, or Zhou Yu, they all felt a headache.  This is the effect of absolute strength. No matter how many plans and strategies you come up with, there is no way to compete with it.

    "Father, given the current situation, Cao Cao and Sun Jian are probably going to lose." The Chen family's mansion was still closed, and the two people talking would naturally not change.  Although he stayed at home these days, it did not prevent Chen Deng from knowing all the wars in Tancheng.  Mocking his chin and thinking for a moment, he said, "Should I go to the state pastoral office to meet Zhang Fei?"  "

    Hearing this, Chen Gui half-closed his eyes and opened them a little, but my son has made a decision?  "

    Chen Deng nodded slowly. At this moment, Sun and Cao were no longer enemies of Jizhou. Although they controlled Tancheng, they could not control the entire Xuzhou.  What's more, with the current development of the war, there may be changes in the city.  Although my Chen family is not afraid, those small aristocratic families that are dependent on us may not be spared. Going now can just save them.  "

    Chen Gui nodded unequivocally and made this decision, then do what you want. The position of the head of the family has been passed down to you. Don¡¯t bother me with anything." The old man said it lightly, as if he really didn¡¯t care about the Chen family.  Development is the same.

    "My lord, come and see here, there seems to be a war here." At the border between Qing and Xu, Zhen Yao finally passed through Jizhou and Qingzhou and arrived at the destination of his trip.  However, nothing good happened as soon as we entered Xuzhou. The dilapidated villages in front of us explained everything.

    The village was deserted, not even a body was found. Only the dilapidated scene and the smell of blood around it could tell everyone that a brutal battle had taken place here.  Holding a wooden stick, Zhen Yao watched all this with cold eyes, just like a bystander, closing his eyes and quietly replaying the fights that had happened here.

    It is not difficult to guess that the troops fighting here must be Xu Huang who came to support and Zang Ba who was hired to intercept him, but Zhen Yao did not dare to guess what the outcome of the battle would be.  Maybe Xu Huang won a big victory, but it's not certain that Zang Ba won't win.

    Zhen Yao was not here where Xu Huang and Zhang Jia jointly faced the enemy, but only Zhang Jia stayed to stop the enemy. Although he never won a victory, he strategically gained enough for Xu Huang.  There are many battlefields like this along the way.

    "Let's go, there is nothing worth exploring here. We will set up camp after five miles." Zhen Yao opened his eyes, waved his hand, and began to walk forward.  In the past two days, my body's recovery has accelerated a lot, and I can at least move freely with the help of crutches.

    In the next few days, Xuzhou was surprisingly "harmonious". Rushing on the road, planning, and recuperating, it was as if there had never been a war. And in the strangely harmonious environment of Xuzhou, the war in Jingyang began.  .

    "Huang Zu, do you know your Grandpa Gan?" On the broad Yangtze River, two naval forces were lined up on both sides. On the two boats headed by them, stood the commanders of the Jingzhou Navy and the Jiangdong Navy.  Soldier general.  Gan Ning, who had abandoned the bandits and joined the army, sneered as he looked at the Jingzhou warships in the distance taking advantage of my lord's expedition. Do you think the Jiangdong watermen are afraid of you?  "

    It is said that Gan Ning and Huang Zu also had old and new grudges. Before Gan Ning defected to Sun Jian, Zeng Jin had the idea of ????attaching himself to Jingzhou. However, Liu Biao, an old man, used people to find out his background. Gan Ning, who was born as a water bandit, naturally had no choice.  Used.  But Huang Zu couldn't afford him and just took him in as a pawn.

    How could the arrogant Gan Ning endure such humiliation? He gritted his teeth and left Jingzhou to start business again on the Yangtze River. Until he was defeated by the Poyang water thieves (Jiang Qin and Zhou Taikong), Zhou Yu seized the opportunity and killed him in one fell swoop.  Its capture.

    After that, he directly surrendered to Sun Jian with the Bell Army. Sun Jian was no better than Liu Biao and Huang Zu, but his ability to employ people was not bad at all.  This time with many soldiers heading north, the huge naval force was commanded by Gan Ning, and Gan Ning was indeed a useful quasi-commander.

    "You're just a robber on the water, how dare you make such a big statement again?" Huang Zu snorted coldly, and with a wave of his hand, he sent out ten robbers to challenge the soldiers from the east of the Yangtze River.

    "Xingba, let me fight this battle." Gan Ning was in charge of the navy, but he didn't have many available men, only Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai, two of Zeng Jin's "along the way".  Fortunately, the three of them knew each other when they were doing business on the water, and Gan Ning even had a lot of favors for them, so even Zhou TaiHe did not dare to be arrogant when facing Gan Ning and was very respectful.

    At the time of Zhou Taizhi, Gan Ning was thinking that he could not lose this battle, and even said that a big victory was needed to wash away the shame he had suffered back then.  But now that the Jingzhou navy is upstream and the warships it leads are downstream, sending an ordinary small school may not necessarily lead to success.  Seeing that Zhou Tai wanted to fight, Gan Ning simply nodded and promised victory, not defeat."

    The battle between the two is about their indomitable momentum to see who can beat the other.  And at this point, neither Gan Ning nor Zhou Tai himself thought that he would lose.  The ships on both sides began to launch. Even though the speed downstream was not as fast as that of the Jingzhou ship upstream, Zhou Tai's demeanor standing at the forefront of the bow gave the soldiers behind him confidence in victory.

    Hundreds of feet, half a mile, a hundred steps, the distance between the two sides kept getting closer. When the distance between the two sides was less than half a hundred, Zhou Tai suddenly ordered the archers, "sh¨¨" Upon hearing the order, the well-trained Jiangdong archers loosened their tightened bowstrings and shot  Sharp arrows flew out from the crossbow window.

    "Give me a shot and release an arrow." On the other hand, the leader of the Jingzhou navy was hiding in the dark cabin of the ship and did not dare to come forward. He only thought of fighting back when he heard the sound of bows and arrows breaking through the air from downstream.

    The performance of the opposing general made Zhou Tai snort. He swung his sword and stopped all the bows and arrows in front of him. He sneered and said such an unbearable person dared to fight with a certain family. Charge at full speed and hit me. "

    "You Ping's bravery should be no less than that of someone." Gan Ning was watching the battle not far away from the rear. When he saw that the hulls of the two sides were not close to each other, Zhou Tai jumped onto the Jingzhou stern. He couldn't help but praise this.  Fight, I will make Huang Zu dare not leave Jiangxia for the rest of his life."
