Chapter 534 Southern War

When Concubine Dong heard this, she couldn't help but worry and asked, "General, did Sun Jian violate it?" Ai Lang nodded, and saw that Concubine Dong had a worried look on her face, and smiled and said, "Don't worry. Sun Jian and the others are just grasshoppers in the autumn and can't jump for long. You Wen is far away in the south, so don't worry about them." Concubine Dong's worry was calmed down after hearing these words.

Ailang said to the messenger who came to send a message: "You will go and tell Wenyuan, and I will give him full authority to deal with Sun Jian and his son. I will give orders to Jingzhou and Huainan that if he needs anything, he can immediately send someone to Jingzhou or Huainan for assistance." The messenger Yingnuo said, then turned over and rode his horse and left.

At this time, Dian Wei ran to Ailang, clasped his fists and said, "Lord, the food is ready." Ailang smiled and said to Concubine Dong, "Are you hungry too? Let's go and have dinner!" Then he led Concubine Dong and Maid back to a pile of burning bonfires. Ailang sat down and the other three sat down. At this time, several personal soldiers came forward to deliver large pieces of barbecue. Ailang and Dian Wei suddenly moved their index fingers and chewed them with big chews, with relish. However, Concubine Dong and Maid were dumbfounded when they saw the large chunks of barbecue weighing two or three pounds on the lotus leaves in their hands! Haha, no wonder, Concubine Dong and the others had never eaten meat like this in their lives!

Seeing that Concubine Dong and his maids were holding barbecue but did not move, Ailang swallowed the food in his mouth and asked in confusion: "Why don't you eat it? Don't you like it?" Concubine Dong shook her head quickly and said, "No! But, just..." The mandarin duck on the side said with some complaints: "General, I can't even eat such a large piece of barbecue, let alone the Concubine!"

Ailang suddenly realized the large team, and couldn't help but slam his head and smiled, "Oh, I'm too careless! I didn't expect that you girls are different from us big guys!" Then he put down the barbecue in his hand, took the barbecue from Concubine Dong, and placed it in front of him. He pulled out a dagger from his waist and quickly cut it to the barbecue. After a while, a large piece of barbecue was cut into pieces. Concubine Dong looked at Ailang foolishly, not knowing what he was thinking. Ailang inserted the dagger back into the scabbard, and sent the barbecue back to Concubine Dong, and smiled, "Eat!" Concubine Dong took the barbecue with a red face and said, "Thank you, General!"

Ailang smiled and waved his hand, "So what are you doing?" Then he said to Yuanyang, "Come on, take your barbecue, I'll cut everything for you too!" Yuanyang was only flattered and immediately handed over his barbecue to Ailang. Ailang did the same thing, and finally returned the cut barbecue to Yuanyang. Yuanyang took the barbecue and said sweetly, "Thank you, General!" Ailang smiled, inserted the dagger back into the scabbard, picked up his barbecue and ate it. He looked at Concubine Dong inadvertently, and saw her chewing with a piece of barbecue in small mouthfuls, and couldn't help but praise: "You girls are really good at eating!" Concubine Dong suddenly heard this, and her heart was pounding, and she didn't dare to look at Ailang.

Yuanyang asked while eating, "General, your dagger is so sharp! It's a treasure sword!" Ailang patted the dagger on his waist and smiled, "This is called the Seven-Star Treasure Sword! Cao Cao used it to assassinate Dong Zhuo! Later, this knife came to my hands! Although it was not amazing, it was actually cut into iron like mud! Many enemy generals died under this treasure sword!"

When the two women heard this, their expressions were stunned. Yuanyang asked carefully: "General, have you killed this precious sword? Have you killed someone?" Ailang nodded while eating. The two women immediately felt their abdomen rolling up and couldn't help but vomit. Ailang was shocked and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you? Is this meat not clean?" But the two women just vomited and had no way to reply. Ailang hurriedly called the medical officer to treat them.

...

It was late at night, and Concubine Dong and his maid were sitting in the carriage, looking bad. No wonder, they not only didn’t eat dinner, but also vomited, and they were so beautiful. Even now, when the two women thought of the meat cut by the murderous knife, they still couldn’t help but feel churning.

The sound of footsteps came from outside the carriage. Then the master and maids saw Lu Bu coming in with two bowls of porridge with vegetables, and said embarrassedly: "Well, I didn't expect that you girls were very concerned about those things. I'm really sorry. I asked my subordinates to cook two bowls of porridge for you and eat them while it's hot!" As he said that, he put down the porridge and turned around and left.

Yuanyang quickly picked up a bowl of porridge and brought it to Concubine Dong, saying, "Empress, eat it while it's hot!" Concubine Dong took the porridge. Yuanyang couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect that a great hero like the General was so considerate!" When Concubine Dong heard this, some inexplicable smell rippled in her eyes.

Just as the Central Plains War came to an end, Sun Jian and his son in the south finally launched a counterattack against Lu Bu. Sun Jian and his son led 50,000 troops out of Cangwu, and went north from the west of Jiuyi Mountain to attack Lingling County. Lingling County, like Guiyang County, belongs to the southernmost county in Jingzhou. Quanling, the capital of Lingling County, is now Lingling City in Hunan Province. Jingzhou is basically the Hunan Province of modern society, but at this time Hunan was far from as thick as modern society and convenient transportation. It can be said that most areas are still uncivilized wild places. Part of the so-called Southern Barbarians is scattered in the mountains and forests of various places, and most of them did not surrender to the Han government.

Just as Sun Jian's army had just set out to march towards Lingling County, Zhang Liao, who was in Guiyang, received a report. Then Zhang Liao handed over the important task of guarding Guiyang to Deputy General Huang Zhong, and he himself rushed to Lingling County and prepared for the battle. At this time, Zhang Liao's army was 30,000 under his command, guarding Lingling and Guiyang respectively. Among them, there were 10,000 defenders in Lingling Guiyang, and another 10,000 defenders were stationed in Leiyang County led by Dong Zhi to support Lingling County and Guiyang County at any time.

The army led by Sun Jian and his son arrived at the city of Lingling County several days later. Sun Ce rode his horse out to the battlefield and shouted loudly: "Zhang Liao, you Lu Bu's lackey! Do you dare to come out and fight me for 300 rounds?"

Zhang Liao laughed loudly and said loudly, "Sun Ce, I think you are here to die! Wait!" Then Zhang Liao ran down the city wall, stepped on the war horse, picked up his big sword of spring and autumn, rushed out of the city gate until Sun Ce. Zhang Liao smiled and said, "Sun Ce, your sister has now become the wife of my lord, your mother, your younger brother, Zhou Yu and others have all surrendered to my lord! The general trend is very clear, why should you resist stubbornly? Come over early, your lord will never treat you badly!"

Zhang Liao's words touched Sun Ce's hidden pain, and he couldn't help but become furious and scolded: "Those who are betrayed the Lord and seeking honor, I, Sun Ce, wish I could tear them apart to eliminate the hatred in my heart! Zhang Liao, don't show off your words, let's see the truth!" Then he activated the war horses to rush towards Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao waved his sword and urged the horses to meet him. In a blink of an eye, the swords and guns collided suddenly in the air and made a loud noise! ​​The two horses crossed, and the two suddenly turned their heads and rushed towards each other, and in a blink of an eye, they fought together! The big swords roared and the spears flew, like dragons and tigers fighting. The scene was amazing! Both of them were rare in the world, and they fought each other for more than thirty rounds but did not decide the outcome.

At this moment, Chen Wu suddenly lifted his sword and rushed out, rushed into the battle group, and swung his sword to attack Zhang Liao. At this time, Sun Ce's offensive gradually became fierce. Zhang Liao used one to fight two, and his sword skills gradually became messy, and the situation became increasingly unfavorable. In less than ten moves, Zhang Liao was already in danger! Zhang Liao did not dare to fight, so he immediately forced Sun Ce to drive away Chen Wu, and then turned his horse and ran straight into the city. Seeing Zhang Liao's defeat and fled, the morale was greatly boosted and he shouted. Seeing this, Sun Jian felt that the opportunity was impossible to miss, and immediately ordered a fierce attack on the city.

The sound of war drums rumbled, and the Cangwu army rushed towards the city like a tide.

...

The sun sets west and the sky is dark. The sound of a golden bell sounded in Sun Jian's army. The army stopped its attack and slowly retreated. Then Sun Jian's army set up a camp several miles away from the city. The army rested and cut down trees to make various siege equipment.

In the big tent, Sun Jian and Sun Ce gathered together to discuss matters. Sun Jian frowned and said, "The enemy's defense is indeed strong, and it is really difficult to break through directly! It seems that only Cai Yongzijing's plan is the only plan!" He turned his head to look at Sun Ce and said, "Ce'er, you have already shown your face today, you can leave! Whether this battle can be won depends on your success or failure!" Sun Ce clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, father! I will live up to my father's expectations!" Sun Jian nodded and couldn't help but say, "I hope God is on our side this time!"

Early the next morning, Sun Jian continued to lead a large army to attack Lingling. A general under him who looked similar to Sun Ce was wearing Sun Ce's full dress and pretending to be Sun Ce. At this time, the real Sun Ce had already left and rushed to Linru County. The so-called Linru is now Fuzhou City, Jiangxi Province, a hundred miles south of Yuzhang County. It turned out that Sun Jian's army attacked Lingling, which was actually just a strategy to attack the east and the west. The main force attacked Lingling County and let Sun Ce on the first day

He appeared to make Zhang Liao suspicious of him. In fact, Sun Jian’s real main attack direction was not in Lingling County or Guiyang County, but in Yuzhang County. Although there are 10,000 defenders in Yuzhang County, 7,000 of them were temporarily recruited civilian troops. If Sun Ce and Lu Su unexpectedly attacked Yuzhang County with 5,000 elite troops, they could be said to have a 70% chance of winning. Those who guard Yuzhang County were also Sun Ce’s old acquaintance, Wu Jing, and Sun Ce’s uncle.
