Chapter 71: The soldiers are coming to the White Emperor

Zhuge Jin sent a confidant soldier to sit down the city with a basket. The soldier came to the front of the car and looked at it. He found that the person lying on the car was Gan Ning.

Now Gan Ning is lying in the car, unconscious, and looks weak and vague. She looks like she is about to die at any time.

"Mr. Zhuge, the car is indeed General Gan Ning!" The man shouted at the city.

"Can you see clearly?" Zhuge Jin asked on the city.

"The last general saw clearly that General Gan Ning was on the car!"

Zhuge Jin nodded, but out of caution, Zhuge Jin sent another person to check, and the man also said that the person in the car was Gan Ning.

This time, Zhuge Jin also believed that Gan Ning was in the car. Zhuge Jin naturally would not be prepared for Gan Ning, so Zhuge Jin shouted: "Open the city gate, please let General Gan Ning come in!"

The city gate opened, and Zhuge Jin also came to the city. At this time, he walked into the city with Gan Ning's car.

Zhuge Jin came to the car, looked at the car, and saw Gan Ning in the car.

"Why is it so severely!" Zhuge Jin exclaimed lightly. From the outside, Gan Ning was very injured. His face was pale and his breath was weak. Blood was still oozing out of the wound on his body. No matter how you look, it seemed that you were about to die at any time, and it was not as good as what Zhang Yi said just now, his life was fine.

A trace of doubt arose from Zhuge Jin's heart. The implementation situation was inconsistent with what the leader said. Is there any deception? Then, Zhuge Jin looked at the leader and found that he did not know this person.

Zhuge Jin had never seen Zhang Yi, so he didn't know Zhang Yi. So Zhuge Jin spoke, "This general, I have never seen you before. How dare you ask the general for his honorary name?"

In the crowd next to him, Adou looked back and found that all the people he brought had entered the city. So Adou walked out of the crowd, approached Zhuge Jin, and spoke, "Mr. Zhuge, we have never seen each other before, but I am very familiar with me!"

A Dou was wearing the clothes of a soldier, so when A Dou came out to talk to him, Zhuge Jin felt strange, why did a soldier dare to come out to talk to him, but when he heard the content of A Dou's words, Zhuge Jin's face suddenly changed.

Zhuge Jin has two younger brothers, one is Zhuge Liang and the other is Zhuge Jun. However, these two are now officials in Shu Kingdom. At this moment, Zhuge Jin realized that the two people in front of him were Shu Army!

"They are..." Zhuge Jin shouted immediately, but was instantly stunned by Adou. He had not had time to say the word "spy" in his mouth.

"Take it!" Adou immediately shouted. The Shu army dressed as the Wu army immediately drew out its weapons and instantly occupied the city gate. The Wu army was frustrated by the sudden attack of the Shu army. In addition, Zhuge Jin was restrained by Adou again, and the Wu army lost its commander and immediately became a mess.

"Don't worry about the Wu army, go and set fire!" A Dou said immediately, and the Shu army spread out in all directions and set fire everywhere.

The Wu army was stationed in Yiling, and Sun Quan sent Zhuge Jin to guard Yiling, which also attracted Zhuge Jin's caution. With Zhuge Jin in Yiling, under normal circumstances, even if Adou pretended to be the Wu army, it would be impossible to open the Yiling gate.

That's why Adou brought Gan Ning to Yiling with him. With the guise of Gan Ning, Zhuge Jin's doubts were eliminated.

Gan Ning was a Jiangdong general. In terms of qualifications, he was second only to Cheng Puhan as an old man from the Sun Jian era. Zhuge Jin naturally did not dare to neglect him. Adou originally wanted to kill Gan Ning, but thinking about a living Gan Ning would make Zhuge Jin not suspicious.

In the mind of ordinary people, most generals will surrender first when they catch the opponent. If the opponent does not surrender, they will kill them and weaken the enemy's power. Generally speaking, they will never let the enemy generals go easily. Especially when they reach a level of Gan Ning, they cannot be released. Therefore, Zhuge Jin would never have expected that A Dou would dare to use a living Gan Ning to deceive the city. When Zhuge Jin found that Gan Ning was seriously injured, his first reaction was naturally to take Gan Ning into the city, and this happened to be A Dou's plan.

In a blink of an eye, several granaries in Yiling City where grain was stored were trapped in a sea of ​​fire. The red light from the raging fire contrasted the night sky like daytime, and could be seen dozens of miles away.

A scent of cooking food wafted in the air, but now no one came to enjoy the smell. The Shu army was busy setting fires everywhere, while the Wu army began to resist sporadically. However, because the commander was not there, the spontaneous resistance of the Wu army was simply a drop in the bucket.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, all the granaries are burning!" Zhang Yi hurried over.

"It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, we will withdraw immediately!" Seeing that the plan had been reached, Adou immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops.

"Crown Prince, what should we do with Gan Ning and Zhuge Jin?" Zhang Yi continued to ask.

"Gan Ning suffered such a serious injury, and he was also disabled after he was cured. Give him some fun! As for Zhuge Jin..." At this point, A Dou hesitated.

After all, Zhuge Jin is Zhuge Liang's biological brother. Although Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang are their own masters now, the brotherly relationship will never be given up. From Zhuge Jin adopts his biological son Zhuge Qiao to Zhuge Liang, it can be seen that the relationship between the two brothers is still very deep. Although Zhuge Jin is very talented and staying behind may cause trouble to Shu Kingdom in the future, for Zhuge Liang's sake, Zhuge Jin should be spared once.

Thinking about it again, Zhuge Jin's son Zhuge Ke is now nearly twenty years old. Zhuge Ke is very talented and intelligent, and has been famous in Jiangdong since he was a child. According to historical records, after Sun Liang ascended the throne, Zhuge Ke monopolized the power of the Eastern Wu and became a powerful minister. A person with a foreign surname who took over the power, so he naturally could not stand it. Therefore, he was later killed by the Lord of Wu, Sun Liang, and the three tribes were destroyed.

In this way, Zhuge Ke is a time bomb. Adou feels that keeping such a hidden danger in Jiangdong will be of great help to the future.

"This Zhuge Jin is also the prime minister's brother after all, so let him go first!" Adou said.

Zhuge Jin felt a chill on his face, and then he slowly looked at the eyes, and what caught his eyes were the faces of more than a dozen Jiangdong soldiers.

"Mr. Zhuge, you are awake!"

Zhuge Jin sat up and looked around. At this time, Zhuge Jin found that the direction of the food and grass was shining into the sky, reflecting the night sky red. The air was filled with a burnt smell, which was mixed with the smell of roasted food. However, now this fragrance smells worse than poison for Zhuge Jin!

Zhuge Jin recalled what had just happened, and then instantly realized that the Shu army must have been seriously injured and captured Gan Ning. Then, using the excuse of sending Gan Ning back to Yiling to recover from his injuries, he opened the city gate and set fire to the food and grass in Yiling City.

"What are you still standing there? Go and put out the fire!" Zhuge Jin jumped up from the ground suddenly and shouted loudly.

"Sir, the fire is too big and I can't save it at all!"

"You can't save it, you can save it. How much you can save it!"

The next day, the fire was controlled, and at noon, the fire slowly went out.

Looking at the originally full granary, now it has turned into a piece of rubble, Zhuge Jin was about to cry without tears.

Zhuge Jin grabbed a handful of charred food from the ground and touched it in his hand. He didn't say anything for a long time. After more than half an hour, Zhuge Jin spoke, "Create horses for me immediately, I'm going to find Governor Lu Xun!"

At this time, Lu Xun was rectifying his troops.

After being trapped in the formation for several days, lacking water sources, many soldiers' physical strength has been severely overdrawn, and it is difficult to fully recover without two or three days.

More importantly, the Shu army almost wiped out the entire Wu army with just one stone formation, which had a huge impact on morale. Lu Xun needed some time to boost the morale of the army.

Quan Cong came to Lu Xun.

"Governor, Zhang Ren has transported all the corpses of his brothers!" Quan Cong said.

Generally speaking, after the war, the victorious side will clean the battlefield, one is to clean up the spoils, and the other is to collect and bury corpses to prevent the occurrence of plague.

If the siege battle is conducted, the people in the city will throw the bodies of the enemy troops who died on the city tower into the city, and then there will be a special person to collect the corpse in their spare time. The soldiers in the city will not attack the people who collect the corpse. This is already a tacit understanding in the war.

Chinese people are used to burying the earth, so under normal circumstances, there will be no insulting the body. Only in some special situations may they be beheaded and hung up to public. Most of the time, the body will be buried in peace.

Now the Jiangdong Army has lost tens of thousands of people in the formation. As usual, Zhang Ren should have been to clean the battlefield. After Zhang Ren and Zhang Ren cleaned the battlefield, he did not bury or spark the bodies of the Wu army soldiers, but sent people to send the bodies of the Wu army soldiers back.

This will show the humanity of the Shu army, and it can also take this opportunity to attack the morale of the Jiangdong soldiers. When the Jiangdong soldiers see the corpse of their comrades, they will inevitably feel sad about the death of the rabbit and the fox, which will affect the morale of the army. Just imagine that tens of thousands of corpses suddenly appear, and no one will turn a blind eye to them. Zhang Ren has been fighting on the battlefield for decades, so he will naturally not miss such a good opportunity to attack the enemy.

Seeing that Lu Xun had no words, Quan Cong continued, "Governor, after the bodies were transported, our soldiers and soldiers were already unstable. I thought they should still deal with these corpses as soon as possible!"

What Quan Cong said was to burn all the corpses and bring the ashes back to Jiangdong. Although cremation was not popular in ancient times, it was important to put the complete corpses into the soil, but there are too many people who have died now, so it is impossible to transport the corpses one by one to bury them.

"Don't deal with the corpses first, let me go out and take a look!" Lu Xun said, and walked out of the tent.

As soon as he left the camp, Lu Xun noticed the low morale of the soldiers, and the entire Wu army camp was shrouded in a shadow.

In the distance, tens of thousands of corpses were laid flat on the ground, and many of them were standing next to them, and bursts of crying came from the crowd from time to time.

"Why are you crying?" Lu Xun suddenly shouted. When people around him saw that it was Lu Xun's words, they stopped crying and the surroundings immediately became quiet.

"Everyone can only cry, useless things!" After saying that, Lu Xun pointed to the corpses everywhere and said, "These are our robes and our brothers. A few days ago, they were still standing in front of us alive, but now they have died in the battlefield and turned into a cold corpse! But you only cry here! Have you ever thought about how they died?"

Before everyone could speak, Lu Xun replied loudly: "They were all dead at the hands of the Shu army! But you don't want to avenge them, but you will only hold your head and cry here. Are you worthy of them?"

After hearing Lu Xun's words, the people who were still crying just now lowered their heads in shame.

Lu Xun continued, "They are dead, but we are alive! The people who survived will avenge them and comfort the spirits in heaven who died brothers!"

Lu Xun said as he pointed towards the direction of Chengdu in the West: "Brothers, there is Chengdu, the heart of the Shu army! As long as we capture Chengdu, these brothers will not die in vain! In this way, we can be in line with these brothers who died in battle!"

Quan Cong beside him shouted loudly at the right time: "Enter Shu and seize Chengdu!"

Then, the soldiers next to him also shouted with Quan Cong. Gradually, this angry shout spread to all parts of the camp. The depression that was originally defeated was vented with the shouts, and then this depression became a motivation and spread around. Everyone in the infected person, in a short while, the whole camp was filled with shocking slogans.

"Enter Sichuan and seize Chengdu!"

"Enter Sichuan and seize Chengdu!"

At this moment, the originally depressed morale was unprecedentedly high. At this time, these Jiangdong soldiers had only one goal, that is, to seize Chengdu!

Lu Xun breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time he thought to himself that thanks to Zhang Ren's cleverness, he sent the body back, otherwise how could he find such a good opportunity to boost morale!

Lu Xun returned to the tent, his ears were still surrounded by the deafening shouts of the Wu army outside the tent.

Quan Cong walked to Lu Xun again and said, "Governor, I sent someone to count it just now, but no General Gan Ning's body was found. I think General Gan Ning was captured by the Shu army!"

Lu Xun nodded: "It seems that General Xingba is in danger!"

All the generals in the tent understood Lu Xun's consciousness. Gan Ning was loyal to Sun Quan and could never surrender to the Shu army. There was only one consequence of a person like Gan Ning not surrender, that was death.

"Everyone, the morale of the three armies is now high, and it is a great time to attack. I want to take this opportunity to fight the White Emperor. Everyone should go and prepare quickly!"

"The last time we will receive orders!" The soldiers immediately returned to the camp and prepared to continue moving westward.

Lu Xun led his army around the Eight Formations and rushed straight to the heart of Shu Kingdom. At the same time, the Jiangdong Navy also passed through Wu Gorge, blocked the Yangtze River, and cooperated with the Wu army's offensive.

Baidi City.

Baidi City is famous for Liu Bei's entrustment to his orphan. At the same time, the scenery around Baidi City is beautiful. Later generations of great poets Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi, Liu Yuxi, Su Shi, Lu You, etc. also have many poems about Baidi City.

The Baidi City in the Three Kingdoms era should actually be considered a fortress. Baidi City is surrounded by water on three sides and surrounded by mountains on one side. It is lonely and lonely. It looks very beautiful in the majestic and steep Kuimen mountains and rivers. At the top of the mountain, you can see the majestic aura of Kuimen, and the winding and beautiful Caotang River enters the river from the bottom of Baidi Mountain.
