- At the same time, Zhuge Jin sent three generals to attack from the south gate, north gate, and west gate at the same time, each leading 10,000 horse infantry. £¤f
Outside Jiangling City, Zhou Yu, the commander-in-chief of the Wu Army, was watching the battle. Seeing the catapults continuously hitting the east gate, and the outer perimeter of the city wall being smashed to pieces, he laughed, thinking that after a while, the real attack could be launched. The general attack.
Suddenly, a horse came galloping up to Zhou Yu and shouted loudly: "Captain, the Han army has left the city. They fought out from the south gate, west gate, and north gate respectively. With great momentum, they attacked the camp outside the three gates. Generals, please ask the Governor for orders"
"Out of the city? There are no generals in the Han army except Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Tian Yu, and Yan Yan. How could they go out of the city to launch an attack?" Zhou Yu was also surprised. Ever since the spies discovered that Zhuge Jin generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei After his family sent him away, Zhou Yu had already made a plan for today.
At this time, the atmosphere he had created for the whole day was completely disrupted, because he transferred all his troops to the east gate. This is why he kept attacking the east gate with catapults. Outside the other three gates There are only one or two thousand troops left in the camp. Facing the attack of the Han army, it will definitely be difficult.
He made a prompt decision and immediately ordered: "Pan Zhang, Dong Xi, and Jiang Qin obey orders!"
"The last general is here!" Pan Zhang, Dong Xi, and Jiang Qin shouted in unison.
"The three of you are ordered to lead five thousand men and horses each to rush to support the three camps and be sure to repel the Han army. It is very likely that the Han army wants to defeat them to the death, and they must not be allowed to break out and force them back into the city!"
"No!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the three generals Jiang Qin, Pan Zhang, and Dong Xi immediately led their troops to rush to rescue the three city gates.
Although Zhou Yu used 150,000 men to siege the city this time, in his estimation, 50,000 men could capture Jiangling City. Therefore, he actually used only 50,000 soldiers and horses, and the remaining 100,000 were on the sidelines to build up his momentum.
In Jiangling City, Zhuge Jin returned to the east gate and saw that the Wu army had begun to mobilize troops. He immediately went downstairs and said to Fu Tong: "General Fu. Please leave everything alone. Don't worry about the soldiers and horses on the two wings. Go straight to where Zhou Yu is. As long as Zhou Yu's central army retreats, the command on both wings will fail!"
Fu Tong nodded, hugged Zhuge Jin on horseback and said, "No!"
"Open the city gate and lower the suspension bridge!" Zhuge Jin immediately ordered.
Following Zhuge Jin¡¯s order, the soldiers opened the city gate first. Then the suspension bridge was lowered. Once the suspension bridge was lowered, Fu Tong and other five thousand cavalry rushed out from the city gate in a mighty manner and attacked Zhou Yu's central army.
Zhou Yu was watching the battle when he suddenly saw soldiers and horses coming out of the east gate. He sneered and said, "So, Zhuge Jin seems to be quite skillful in using troops. However, it is a pity that this is the focus of my attack. With 30,000 troops and an army of 100,000 behind us, what can Ling Cao and Chen Wu do with just a few thousand cavalry?"
"The end is here!"
"Each lead eight hundred crossbowmen, scattered on the left and right wings, specifically to shoot at the enemy's horses!"
"No!" Ling Cao and Chen Wu happily accepted the order. Each led the crowd to separate sides.
Song Qian, who was on the left wing, and He Qi, who was on the right wing, saw Fu Tong rushing out with five thousand cavalry. They both sneered, thinking how could such a small number of people be Wu Jun's opponent, so they sent someone to ask for orders from the Chinese army Zhou Yu. .
Zhou Yu believed that the Chinese army had the strength to deal with these five thousand cavalry. Therefore, Song Qian and He Qi's suggestions were rejected, and they were allowed to only watch the battle on the two wings and recharge their batteries, because they were the main force when attacking the city.
Xu Sheng and Ding Feng were in the rear army. When they heard that the Han army was leaving the city, they all rode their horses to the central army. When they saw Zhou Yu, they asked for orders to fight.
Zhou Yu still dismissed it, leaving Xu Sheng to guard him and letting Ding Feng go back to suppress the formation.
While talking, Fu Tong and others rushed over. Ling Cao and Chen Wu immediately led the crossbowmen to shoot at them, specifically shooting at the Han army's horses.
At one time, thousands of crossbow arrows were fired at the horses of the Han army. Fu Tong and others were all willing to die, without the slightest fear. Fu Tong led a thousand cavalry in the front army and managed to escape, while the four thousand cavalry behind him were able to escape. Everyone turned on their backs. However, once the four thousand cavalry fell from their horses, they did not panic. Instead, they held their weapons and ran forward quickly. The running speed was extremely astonishing, and there was not much difference behind Fu Tong.
Zhou Yu was surprised when he saw this scene. He didn't expect that there were people in the Han army who were so good at running, which could be compared with the army composed of Shanyue people he had collected. However, he was still confident and did not take these people seriously.
At this time, Fu Tong¡¯s cavalry team is about to gallopWhen they arrived at the front army, the crossbowmen of the front army suddenly fired thousands of arrows, specifically targeting the horses of Fu Tong and others.
"Herod"
The horses let out a series of mournful cries, arrows penetrated their bodies, and blood flowed across their bodies. Some horses were injured and continued to run forward. When dozens of arrows were lodged in their bodies, the horses finally could not resist the pain and fell to the ground.
Fu Tong and others had already been prepared. The moment the horse fell to the ground, they immediately jumped off the horse to avoid falling to the ground. As soon as everyone landed, they immediately took out the flying knives equipped on their waists, and shot at Wu Jun's crossbowmen. For a moment, cold light pierced Wu Jun's throat, and the crossbowmen in the front row of the front army were all exhausted. All died.
However, the Han army's counterattack did not end there. After the seven flying knives equipped by each person were fired, they immediately took out the weapons from their waists, stretched their left hands behind their backs, and with a strong tug, they pulled away the round sword that had been carried on their backs for a long time. He took out the shaped shield, holding the shield in one hand and a shining saber in the other, quickly formed a line of defense, and quickly rushed towards Wu Jun's front army.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh"
Countless arrows were shot at Fu Tong and a thousand people, but they were blocked by a thousand shields in their hands. At this time, Fu Tong and others approached Wu Jun's front army. Only then did the people in the front army see Fu Tong clearly. What Tong and others were wearing was not armor, but armor made entirely of rattan. Their whole bodies were wrapped in that layer of rattan armor, and arrows shot at them were unable to penetrate them.
"Boom!"
Fu Tong and other thousand vine-armored soldiers quickly rushed into Wu Jun's front army. They raised their swords and fell, and all the Wu Jun's crossbowmen fell to the ground with their heads. Blood spurted out and spread all over the ground.
The four thousand soldiers behind Fu Tong who lost their horses all fought bravely when they saw Fu Tong and others rushing over. The crossbow arrows fired by the crossbowmen on both wings were unable to penetrate their armor. As soon as the crossbow arrow hit the rattan armor they were wearing, it was immediately bounced away, surprising Ling Cao and Chen Wu.
At the same time, two thousand of the four thousand soldiers immediately rushed towards the two wings where Ling Cao and Chen Wu were. Protecting their faces with rattan plates, protecting their bodies with rattan armor, and holding sabers tightly in their hands, they rushed forward. He immediately killed Wu Jun until he cried for his father and mother.
Ling Cao, Chen Wu and others also raised their weapons to attack, but for some reason, their weapons could not penetrate the layer of vine armor on the Han army. In desperation, they just fled in all directions.
Zhou Yu was riding on horseback and saw that Fu Tong and others were unstoppable, and the armor on their bodies was only made of rattan. How could it be that arrows could not be penetrated, knives could not cut, and spears could not pierce.
He couldn't help being surprised. Seeing that the soldiers he had arranged were scattered by Fu Tong and others, the weapons in Wu Jun's hands lost their effect. He hugged the enemy and struggled into a ball, but was injured by the enemy's weapons. In just a moment, more than 2,000 Wu soldiers were killed.
It was only at this moment that he realized that this group of people was not cavalry at all, but infantry. The war horse is just a tool to send these five thousand people to the front line. Its purpose is to let these people disrupt his central army.
The Han army's counterattack achieved its goal. Wu Jun's front was unable to withstand it. Fu Tong and other 1,000 men were invincible, although they were blocked by Wu Jun. But it is easy to break through. At this time, the other four thousand people under Fu Tong rushed over together, gathered with Fu Tong, and quickly condensed into a very powerful force.
The soldiers of the Wu army rushed forward to stop them, but Fu Tong and the other five thousand people were like a rolling hill. Wherever they rolled, no matter how many people came, there was only one final result, and that was death.
"Grand Governor, the Han army has made a surprise attack and is unstoppable at this time. What should we do?" Xu Sheng was anxious. He saw the former army Ling Cao and Chen Wu fled back like dogs after being chased by the Han army. The soldiers also Everyone discarded their armor and immediately asked.
Zhou Yu had already made up his mind that it would be a matter of time before he retreated. However, the reason why he did not retreat was because he wanted to see clearly whether Fu Tong and the other vine armor soldiers had any weaknesses. However, after observing for so long, he still could not see the weakness of the vine armor soldiers. The vine armor soldiers were invulnerable, and killing Wu soldiers was like chopping melons and vegetables.
When Xu Sheng saw that Fu Tong and others were getting closer and closer, and that the front army was defeated, he became anxious and shouted: "Grand Governor, retreat, stay out of the way for now, and fight again tomorrow!"
Zhou Yu frowned, and when he saw Fu Tong leading the way, dripping with blood and fighting extremely bravely, he immediately shouted: "Retreat!"
As soon as the voice fell and Xu Sheng had no time to give the order, he suddenly heard a noise behind Wu Jun. The camp where the rear army stored grain and grass suddenly caught fire, and the camps on the left and right wings also caught fire. At the same time, among the fire, the word "Han" The flag fluttered in the wind, and a young general with a big sword in his hand and more than a thousand cavalry came out from behind.
Zhou Yu turned around and saw this scene,He immediately shouted: "The Han army is surrounded to death, how can the Han army come from behind and kill them?"
There are enemies both front and rear, but for the Wu army, the food and grass camp is the most important. If they are all burned down, they will lose the foundation of their foothold in Jingzhou. Zhou Yu made a decisive decision and shouted loudly: "After the armored army is broken, the rear team becomes the front team, and the entire army withdraws to the camp. We must not lose food and grass. Put out the fire!"
Xu Sheng received the order and took the 5,000 armored troops surrounding Zhou Yu to immediately form a strong wall and let the Wu army from the front army come back, with the purpose of blocking the vine armored soldiers of Fu Tong and others.
Ding Feng, who was in the rear, immediately changed his formation and returned to camp to put out the fire. Tens of thousands of troops retreated across the board. Before Zhou Yu left, he glanced at Jiangling City, feeling unwilling but helpless.
Fu Tong chased the Wu army all the way. Later, when he saw that Xu Sheng's armored army was cut off, the Wu army retreated in full, and a fire broke out behind the Wu army's camp, he immediately became very excited. Just as he was about to move forward to pursue, a group of soldiers rushed out of the city. Qi, brought Zhuge Jin's order for Fu Tong to withdraw his troops and return to the city.
Fu Tong was unwilling to give in and tried to charge the armored army led by Xu Sheng. After two attempts, he failed to do so, and then withdrew his troops back to the city. On the way back to the city, Fu Tong encountered soldiers and horses withdrawing from the south, north and west gates. They were so eager to kill them that they directly ran into Pan Zhang's soldiers and horses. After a bloody battle, Pan Zhang was no match at all. Disintegrated and fled. However, Fu Tong became more and more brave. He killed Pan Zhang's general Ma Zhong and carried Ma Zhong's head back to the city to claim credit.
The Wu army retreated in response, and the small group of Han cavalry that appeared also disappeared. The fire in the camp did not cause a major disaster because of the timely rescue. Zhou Yu suffered this loss. I was very upset, but I still couldn't figure out where another Han army came from.
Once the war ended, the Wu army lost more than 10,000 soldiers in this battle, while the Han army only lost more than a thousand people who pretended to attack the Wu army camp outside the south, north and west gates. The Han army achieved its first victory after being invaded.
Sima Lang didn¡¯t want to see this result the most. What he didn¡¯t expect was that the Han army still had such fighting power. But on the surface. He still congratulated Zhuge Jin.
After the victory, when the two of them had a drink again, Zhuge Jin revealed the reason. It turned out that today's victory was due to him acting according to the strategy left by Zhuge Liang. Sima Lang was also surprised after hearing this and couldn't help but admire Zhuge Liang. .
¡¡
In an abandoned village fifty miles north of Jiangling City, Sima Yi and Jia Kui were waiting there quietly. He was guarded by ten strong men.
"General, last time you asked General Wen to report a message. My subordinates were a little curious. Why did the General let General Wen leave and never return when we were hiring people?" Jia Kui sat by the bonfire and looked across the way. Sima Yi asked.
Sima Yi was resting his mind with his eyes closed, although he did not open his eyes. But his ears listened carefully, and he squirmed his mouth and said: "With the Hussars General Zhang He, the Right General Chen Dao, and the 50,000 navy troops of the Tiger Guard General Gan Ning, they are enough for me to control everything. Where is the emperor? It's time to employ people, so it won't be a waste of manpower to let Wenpin go back to the emperor."
Jia Kui finally got the answer to his puzzling question and stopped talking.
Wenpin originally followed Sima Yi to Dangyang. After Sima Yi arranged everything, he sent Wenpin back, so Jia Kui asked this question.
After a long time, a rush of horse hoofbeats was heard outside the village. Sima Yi suddenly opened his eyes, stood up hurriedly, and said to Jia Kui: "Go out to meet General Guan!"
When a group of people came outside, they saw a fair young general carrying a big sword dismounting his horse. Sima Yi smiled and clasped his fists and said, "General Guan, I've been waiting for you here for a long time. It should be successful, right?"
The man called General Guan is only fifteen or sixteen years old. He has a handsome face, eyes like shooting stars, red lips and white teeth. He is Guan Ping, the eldest son of the Han general Guan Yu. As soon as Guan Ping dismounted, he bowed to Sima Yi and said: "The general is very resourceful, and Zhou Yu really fell into the trap. It's a pity that the general gave me too few soldiers and horses, so I couldn't kill him happily." Otherwise, I will burn down Zhou Yu¡¯s food camp and let all the Wu troops starve to death.¡±
Sima Yi said: "General Guan doesn't have to be like this. Our country of Huaxia and Wu are also allies after all. There is a reason why we made an exception to help General Guan today. Since we succeeded today, shouldn't General Guan return to our country of China as agreed?" "
"No! I want to find my father. I told my mother before I left that I will never go back until I find my father. General, as long as I find my father, I will surrender as we agreed. From China." Guan Ping said stubbornly.
Sima Yi nodded and said: "Filial piety comes first among all good deeds. General Guan is also a filial person. In this case, I can't stop him. But?Remember, you must never act recklessly in the future. If I hadn't met you first, how could you alone be the opponent of Zhou Yu's 150,000 troops? "
Guan Ping said: "What are you afraid of? The worst case scenario is death!"
"Of course General Guan's courage Zhongda will not deny, but he must die well and be worthy of death. It means nothing at all for you to die like this. Here are fifty gold coins, seven days of food and water, please take them with you. You won't be hungry on the way, and this horse will be given to you as well." Sima Yi asked the soldiers to bring them the luggage, food and water, and handed them to Guan Ping.
Guan Ping said: "Thank you, General. After I leave, I hope that the General will take care of my mother, brother-in-law, and my third uncle's family."
"Don't worry, the emperor will take great care of the Guan and Zhang families. After seeing your father, remember to tell your father that the emperor will always be waiting for him in Luoyang City. He can go to see him at any time if he wants. Your Majesty. Your home will also be settled in Luoyang.¡±
Guan Ping nodded, cupped his fists and said, "Then farewell!"
After saying that, he took the things given by Sima Yi, mounted his war horse, and rode away with only a short sword. Soon it disappeared into the night.
Seeing Guan Ping leaving, Jia Kui asked: "General, Guan Ping is also a tiger in the general's door. Wouldn't it be a pity to let him go like this?"
"As long as Guan Yu surrenders, Guan Ping will naturally surrender. Zhang Fei will too. The emperor found the handwriting written by Guan Yu in the dilapidated earth temple by the Hanshui River, so he asked me to do this. Now, gather your troops and horses, Withdraw the troops and return to the camp. Early tomorrow morning, the army will march forward and march to the gate of Jiangling City to fight against the Wu army. "
Jia Kui said: "But the emperor asked us to garrison Dangyang and cut off the connection between Xiangyang and Jiangling. The general did not obey the imperial decree. He sent troops privately and fought with the allies. Will it cause a dispute in the diplomatic relations between the two countries?"
"The general is out, and the military orders are not obeyed. Besides, the emperor has appointed me as the general of the southern expedition, with full authority to handle the southern expedition. The southern expedition refers to the area south of Jiangling. If the emperor is blamed, I will bear all the blame. Wait. It has nothing to do with you. Also, you send someone to inform General Gan Ning of the Huwei Army to turn back and enter the Jiangling area from the Yangtze River, cutting off the four counties of Jingnan and Jiangling. "Sima Yi said with a stern expression.
Jia Kui was shocked. I thought that Sima Yi was too bold. He was just the general who conquered the south. How dare he give orders to Gan Ning. He was stunned for a moment and then asked: "General, Gan Ning is one of the Five Tiger Generals. He is also the General of the Tiger Guard personally appointed by the emperor. The general's current official rank is only on the same level as General Gan. I'm afraid "
"I have the emperor's personal decree and am responsible for the full power of the expedition to the south. Anyone who has to cooperate in the battle must listen to my dispatch. If the military orders cannot be unified, how will the expedition to the south be completed? You can take the emperor's letter to me and go there in person. Ling met Gan Ning and explained the interests, and asked Chen Dao to send troops by land to station troops on Huarong Road. "
As the saying goes, one level of official rank kills someone. Jia Kui was once the number one scholar in martial arts and was named Zuo Chaqi General. However, in terms of rank, he was one level lower than Sima Yi, and he was the first rank. After hearing this, he could not object, so he clasped his fists and said, "No! I obey!"
Sima Yi nodded, turned to the thousand cavalry and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Now the whole army is returning to camp."
Not long after Sima Yi and others returned to the camp, a scout came to report that there were two groups of people taking the road from Dangyang. The scout suspected that he had seen the Emperor Sun Ce and General Zhou Tai of Wu State. Another scout said Saw Zhuge Liang.
When the two scouts gathered at Sima Yi's place, Sima Yi just laughed it off and said nothing. He ordered everyone not to pursue, and to remove all protection in Dangyang area, and prepare to break camp and march to Jiangling tomorrow. At the same time, Sima Yi sent someone to notify Zhang He, asking him to send troops from Yiling up the Shuo River to attack Zigui, Wu County, and Yufu. He also stationed his troops and horses in Yufu County, Ba County, Yizhou, waiting for an opportunity. move.
In addition, Sima Yi assigned a Zhonglang general under his account to lead five thousand troops to garrison Yidao and control both sides of the Yangtze River.
After the order was issued, the Chinese army was ready to set up camp in the morning.
In Jiangling City, Zhuge Jin won a great victory, and even Fu Tong and others were unscathed. He couldn't help but rely on these five thousand pairs of vine armor.
At midnight, the city guard suddenly saw a small group of people approaching the city. After asking, they found out that Zhuge Liang had returned with Samoko. The city guard immediately opened the door and let them in, and sent someone to notify Zhuge Jin.
Zhuge Jin was overjoyed when he heard that Zhuge Liang was back, so he went to greet him personally. After some pleasantries, he entered the room.
"Brother, what are the movements of Wu's army these days?" As soon as Zhuge Liang entered the hall, he couldn't help butAmong other things, ask specifically about Wu Jun's movements.
Zhuge Jin then told Zhuge Liang about the fierce battle that took place day and night, and also told Zhuge Liang about the fire in Zhou Yu's rear camp.
After hearing this, Zhuge Liang said suspiciously: "Strange, I didn't leave any troops outside the city. How did Zhou Yu's rear camp catch fire?"
Zhuge Jin said: "I'm also puzzled. I just don't know where the soldiers and horses did it. I also know that you secretly left it behind and asked people to cooperate outside."
Zhuge Liang thought for a while and said with a smile: "Sima Yi's army was stationed in Dangyang. It was divided into three groups to form a pin-shaped formation. It was intended to suppress the Wu army. I think that the fire in Zhou Yu's rear camp must be caused by Sima Yi. Brother, I heard that Sima Lang is here, Why not?"
"Oh, I'll send someone to call him over right now. Kong Ming, how about you negotiating with the Emperor of China?"
"He is indeed a wise master, and his knowledge is extraordinary, which is beyond my comparison."
After Zhuge Jin heard what Zhuge Liang said, he already understood and said: "I just feel a little ashamed of Your Majesty by doing this"
"Brother. Your Majesty is as guarded against his sworn brothers as against thieves. How can you rest assured about us? In the past five years, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have been left in Jingnan. Although they have the names of generals and Sima, there is no general. , I think my brother also witnessed it with his own eyes in Jingnan. How did Guan and Zhang treat Your Majesty? "
Zhuge Jin shook his head and said: "Everything is for our Zhuge family. I hope you are really right this time, and the Huaxia Kingdom can be your place of use."
"Brother, don't worry."
After the two people discussed it, they sent someone to invite Sima Lang. Zhuge Liang knew that Sima Lang was Sima Yi's eldest brother and a minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He was also an important person in the Huaxia Kingdom, so he prepared to pass him. to realize your big plan.
Soon, Sima Lang came to the front hall and saw Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang. Although he had never met Zhuge Liang, he could guess that they looked similar to Zhuge Jin. He immediately clasped his fists and said, "I have seen these two Zhuge Liang." grown ups."
Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Master Sima has good eyesight. Since you already know who I am, I won't introduce myself anymore. Please sit down."
After Sima Lang sat down. Asked: "Isn't Prime Minister Zhuge in Xiangyang?"
"This moment, that moment. Lord Sima, let's stop being polite and get straight to the point. I have a plan that can help China win Jingzhou except Jiangxia. I wonder if Lord Sima is willing to listen?"
"Of course. However, I think there must be some conditions for Prime Minister Zhuge's plan, right?" Sima Lang is not stupid either.
Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Of course, after I help Huaxia capture the four counties of Jiangling and Jingnan, I will surrender to Huaxia. Huaxia should also deal with it impartially. Give me rewards according to my merits."
"This is natural. China has always rewarded meritorious deeds and punished delinquents. Rewards and punishments are clear and there is no favoritism."
"I'm relieved about this." Zhuge Liang then revealed his long-planned plan.
After hearing this, Sima Lang couldn't help but feel ecstatic and said: "If this is true, the people of Jingzhou will be very lucky."
"Well, you can leave the city right now and run overnight to Dangyang. Your brother Sima Yi will station the army there. Tell him your strategy and ask him to just come and capture Jiangling tomorrow." Zhuge Liang said.
"Okay, I'll leave the city right now."
That night, Sima Lang hurriedly left Jiangling City under the escort of Fu Tong. At the same time, Zhuge Liang took advantage of the Wu army's defeat and asked Shamoko to lead people out of the city and back to Wuling. He asked his brother Zhuge Jin to lead half of the soldiers and horses in the city secretly out of the city and set up camp outside the south gate.
Although the Wu army was defeated, the scouts were still there, so the actions of the Han army were naturally noticed by the scouts. Therefore, the scouts hurriedly reported the unusual behavior in Jiangling City to Zhou Yu.
After Zhou Yu heard this, he discussed with the generals: "Zhuge Jin personally led his troops out of the city and set up camp at the south gate, so there must be people guarding the city. I heard that Liu Bei had declared Zhuge Liang a national traitor, because the Chinese army was tightly guarded in Dangyang. , not a single scout of the Han army was spared, so no one in Jiangling City knew that Zhuge Liang must have returned to Jiangling City, and the group of people at night must be Zhuge Liang and others. It seemed that he wanted to interact with the camp outside the city. Horns, so as to prevent our army from being attacked again. After all, Zhuge Liang is smarter than his brother Zhuge Jin and knows that being trapped is not the best option. "
"Grand Governor, how should we respond?" Jiang Qin asked.
"It doesn't matter, let's stop for a day first. All the soldiers are exhausted today and can no longer attack. At this time, Your Majesty should also"
"Your Majesty has arrived!" At this moment, a shout suddenly came from outside the tent, and Sun Ce walked in first, followed by Zhou Tai.
?Inside the tent, Zhou Yu and others bowed together and said, "I'd like to pay homage to Your Majesty!"
"No courtesy." Sun Ce came back, strode up to the throne, and asked, "How is the situation in Jiangling City?"
"I pretended to attack all day and night today, but unexpectedly someone came out of the city, wearing vine armor and invulnerable to all weapons and bullets. Our army was unable to resist and lost more than 10,000 soldiers. In desperation, we had to retreat. Zhuge Liang also used treacherous tactics to cooperate with the soldiers in the city inside and outside. , almost burning our army's food and grass, but fortunately the rescue was timely and we did not make a big mistake." Zhou Yu briefly explained what happened today and reported to Sun Cehui.
Sun Ce was also a veteran. After hearing Zhou Yu's words, he did not blame him. He just sighed and said, "It seems that the strength of the Han army is still there."
"Your Majesty, I believe that the top priority is to let the soldiers rest for a day first, and then launch the army the next day. We will attack Jiangling with hundreds of thousands of troops at the same time. The walls of Jiangling were almost destroyed by our army's catapults today. If we attack by force, Maybe we can capture Jiangling in three days.¡±
Sun Ce nodded and said: "Jiangling is the hardest bone to crack in the Han Dynasty. It's a pity that we underestimated it at the time, which led to this defeat. Gong Jin, just do it according to your ideas, and there is no need to report it to me. , I said, you are solely responsible for commanding the army, and leave it to me to charge into battle!"
Zhou Yu wanted to say something. But when the words came to his lips, he held back. Because he knew Sun Ce's personality, if he refuted it, he would definitely not hear anything nice. In his heart, Sun Ce is the emperor, and charging into battle should be the job of a general. There is no reason for an emperor to risk his own life. Although he knows that Sun Ce is brave, he is not afraid of ten thousand soldiers. I was just afraid of what might happen, if something happened to Sun Ce. Who will entrust the foundation of Wu State to?
Sun Ce seemed to see what Zhou Yu was thinking. He smiled and patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I will be blessed and everything will be fine."
After making an appointment in Pingming, Sima Lang rushed to Dangyang. He ran straight to Sima Yi's camp without stopping. Everyone knew Sima Lang and did not dare to stop him, so the journey was smooth.
Sima Yi just got up. After putting on his armor and hanging his sword, he was about to go out when he suddenly saw his brother arriving in a dusty state. He hurriedly welcomed him in and asked, "Where does your brother come from?"
"Jiangling! Zhongda, quicklyquicklysend troops to Jiangling quickly. We must arrive at Jiangling before noon. In this case, Jiangling City will belong to our army." Sima Lang said hurriedly.
"Brother, please tell me slowly, what happened?" Sima Yi seemed very calm and asked calmly.
"Oh, Zhongda, send troops to Jiangling quickly. If you have any questions, we'll talk to you on the way!"
Sima Yi smiled and said: "Brother, when you arrived here, a light cavalry of our army had already arrived at Jiangling City, and I had already sent Niu Jin."
Sima Lang was also very surprised and immediately said exactly what Zhuge Liang said to him.
After hearing this, Sima Yi nodded, held his chin and said: "Zhuge Kongming is indeed a wise manBrother, without further ado, I will be on my way now. Although the cattle and gold are gone, there are not enough soldiers and horses. If the Wu Kingdom turns against it, it will not be enough." My brother has had a hard journey resisting the Wu army, and he is resting here"
¡°We¡¯re at this point, why should we rest? We¡¯re still tired, Jiangling City is important!¡±
So, the two brothers set out on the road together, with Sima Yi leading 10,000 cavalry in front, and Sima Lang leading 30,000 infantry following, heading towards Jiangling City in a mighty way.
At the same time, under Jiangling City, Niu Jin led a thousand light cavalry to gallop back and forth. When they came to the west gate, they saw the city wall was heavily guarded. When he turned to leave, he was stopped by someone.
"General, wait a minute!"
Niu Jin originally came to Jiangling to inquire about news. As an outpost, he was just patrolling and had no intention of attacking the city. He turned around and saw a man standing on the city gate. He had seen that man before. It was Zhuge Liang who Sima Yi had asked him to run away last night. He immediately reined in his horse and asked, "Why did the Prime Minister call me?"
Suddenly the suspension bridge at the west gate was lowered and the city gate opened. Zhuge Liang shouted: "General, please come into the city. Jiangling City is yours, so as not to be occupied by the Wu army."
Niu Jin was suspicious for a while and did not dare to enter the city. He hesitated outside.
Zhuge Liang saw Niu Jin hesitating and said, "I have withdrawn all my troops and horses outside the city. If you don't enter, the Wu army will definitely take advantage of it. Don't hesitate any longer!"
Niu Jin said: "Don't retreat yet. The general's army has not arrived yet. I only have a thousand men. I'm afraid I won't be able to defend Jiangling City. You wait until noon. Once my army arrives, it will definitely enter the city."
Zhuge Liang said: "Okay, you go back and tell Sima Yi to come quickly. After noon, Wu will become suspicious and you will not be able to occupy Jiangling City."
"I know." After Niu Jin finished speaking,He turned around and left, taking a thousand Qingqi back the same way to see Sima Yi.
Zhuge Liang stood on the city wall, ordered people to close the city gate, raise the drawbridge, and shouted: "Enter from the north gate at noon!"
After hearing this, Fu Tong asked: "Prime Minister, if you shout so loudly, what should you do if Wu Jun's scouts hear you?"
Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "The shout is just for the Wu Jun scouts to hear. Come here. At noon, all you need to do is"
After hearing this, Fu Tong burst out laughing and said immediately: "The Prime Minister's clever plan, the Wu people are going to lose their troops again."
Zhuge Liang said: "Since we have decided to submit to the Huaxia Kingdom, we will naturally have to consume the Wu army and fight several good battles before we can gain a foothold in the Huaxia Kingdom."
Fu Tong said: "The general will finally understand."

In the Wu army camp, the scouts told Sun Ce and Zhou Yu all about the conversation between Zhuge Liang and Niu Jin that they heard outside the west gate of Jiangling City.
After hearing this, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu couldn't help but feel shocked.
Zhou Yu said: "Your Majesty, it seems that Zhuge Liang wants to dedicate Jiangling City to the Huaxia Kingdom. As a result, our army will fight hard here, lose troops and generals, and gain nothing."
Sun Ce said: "Since they met at the north gate and the time is set at noon, as long as our army sends troops to block Sima Yi's advance, and then our army disguises itself as the Chinese army and enters Jiangling City, then Jiangling City can be easily obtained."
"Your Majesty is wise. However, if you send people to stop Sima Yi, there can be no conflict. General Sima Yi will never take it seriously. I went to see Sima Yi in person and wanted to meet this general who conquered the south." Zhou Yu said.
"No! I'm going! I'm the emperor. Sima Yi will never dare to be presumptuous when he sees me. I want to pull him to tell the story, and he can't disobey. If you go, it won't be good." Sun Ce said.
Zhou Yu nodded and said, "I obey."
After the plan was decided, Sun Ce entrusted Zhou Yu with full responsibility for the matter, while he alone with more than ten personal followers waited for Sima Yi on the only way to Jiangling City.
Zhou Yu gathered Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Ling Cao, Chen Wu, Dong Xi, Pan Zhang, Xu Sheng, Ding Feng, Song Qian, He Qi and other generals, assigned orders one by one, and prepared to seize Jiangling City with all his strength.
Not long after, another scout came to report that there were soldiers and horses dispatched in Jiangling City. They entered the camp outside the city from the south gate and went back and forth several times. After Zhou Yu heard this, he became even more convinced. In addition, he had long understood that Zhuge Liang had a tendency to defect to the Huaxia Kingdom, but he still couldn't figure out why Zhuge Liang didn't just hang the Huaxia military flag on the top of the city and surrender directly.
Although I don¡¯t understand what Zhuge Liang thinks, this is beneficial to the Wu State. In this way, the Wu State can also take advantage of the opportunity and directly enter Jiangling City, so that the Wu State will not suffer any losses.
No matter what, this time Zhou Yu is ready to take Jiangling City in one go. After everything is scheduled, all that's left is waiting for time.

Sima Yi was marching forward when he suddenly met Niu Jin coming back. They met each other twice. Niu Jin told what Zhuge Liang had said. After Sima Yi heard this, he immediately urged the army to move forward. Thousands of horses galloped and the river flowed endlessly. On the snowy ground in winter It left a long string of horse hoof prints, turning the soil on the snow into mud.
Less than thirty miles forward of the army, Sima Yi saw a man wearing a dragon robe and a crown on the only way to Jiangling City. Behind him were more than ten warriors, all wearing golden armor. They looked extremely luxurious. Sun Ce, who else could it be?
So, Sima Yi hurriedly raised his hand and ordered his men to stop advancing, and the army stopped. He rode forward alone, and came to a place five meters away from Sun Ce. He turned over and dismounted, walked a few steps forward, knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists and said : "Sima Yi, the general of the Huaxia Kingdom in the Southern Conquest, is here to see His Majesty the Emperor of Wu!"
"Stay flat!" Sun Ce said with a smile, raising his hand to signal Sima Yi to stand up.
After Sima Yi stood up, he said with a kind face: "I have heard for a long time that His Majesty the Emperor of Wu is extremely powerful. When I saw him today, he was indeed worthy of his reputation. But foreign ministers don't know how the Emperor could appear in this wilderness?"
"Haha, General Sima, I am waiting for you here."
"Wait for me?" Sima Yi had already made a guess in his mind from the moment he saw Sun Ce. When he heard Sun Ce speak like this, he pretended not to know.
"Yes, I heard that General Sima came to the battlefield in person and prepared to cooperate with our army to attack Jiangling, so I specially waited for General Sima again. General Sima, I heard that you are the second liberal arts champion of the Huaxia Kingdom. When I saw you today, you are indeed a talented person. I have been waiting for you for a long time. I have never seen such a young talent. I would like to sit down and have a chat with General Sima. What do you think?" Sun Ce said and got off his horse.
