Chapter 361(1/2)
In the sixth year of Jian'an (201 AD), the world had just been stable for a year. Liu Biao, Jingzhou, surrendered to Jin, but was intercepted by Han King Liu Bei. In an instant, Zhang Liao, a general under the command of Jin King in Wancheng, directly led troops to Jingzhou under the pretext of this, and replaced Liu Biao's only existing city.
March! There were murderous intent everywhere. As King Liu Bei of Han continued to summon troops, a heavy breath of depression that was about to come came to the hearts of the people of Jingzhou.
As Liu Biao went north to join Lu, the army in Yizhou was ordered to retreat, and gave up all the territory and were all occupied by Lu Bu's army.
However, when the situation in Jingzhou was already tense, a message suddenly came in mid-March, and the world was shaking in an instant, and the smoke of war instantly filled with smoke.
Liu Biao went north to join Lu, and was intercepted by the elite under Liu Bei's command halfway. Liu Biao was assassinated and seriously injured. When he fled back to Luoyang, he left only a sentence of Liu Bei weaving mats and selling shoes for children, and then died of anger.
Immediately, King Lu Bu of Jin was furious and angrily criticized Liu Bei for his unrighteous people who had fought with each other, which even killed the emperor's car. A royal edict directly angrily criticized Liu Bei for all kinds of disgusting, and even said that Liu Bei had planned to murder the emperor for his ambition to be the emperor.
Then, the furious King Lu Bu of Jin directly raised his arm and summoned 300,000 elite troops from Northern Liang to the south to pacify Jingzhou and kill Liu Bei, who was plotting against the emperor's evil thief.
Under the mighty conquest, everyone in Jingzhou was in danger in an instant. This was Lu Bu, who had never lost in the world, and he had just swept across the north, confirming the throne of the world's number one prince and the strongest king of Jin.
Liu Bei also fought back and angrily accused Lu Bu of causing chaos in the country and scolded him as a traitor. He felt wronged. Liu Biao's death really had nothing to do with him.
Shinno!
As the Northern Liang army sent troops, it was obvious that the troops were divided into two groups. One was Zhang Liao, who was in charge of the Xiangyang area of Jingzhou. He dragged down a large number of Liu Bei's main forces, and the other was to seize Xinye and other places. He wanted to first capture the entire county of Nanyang, Jingzhou and then shock Jiangxia. If you dare to send troops from Jiangdong, the Northern Liang army would do it directly.
Jiangdong.
"Damn it! Lu Bu is too bullying, send troops! send troops!"
Sun Quan shouted angrily, and directly angrily smashed all the letters under his feet. The envoys below were even trembling, and the civil and military generals in Jiangdong all glared at each other.
"Say! Then what exactly did Lu Bu say?"
Sun Quan asked the envoy who went to Luoyang with a gloomy face. The envoy said with grief: "I ordered the King of Wu to go to Luoyang, because I originally wanted to make good King of Jin so as not to hurt the people of both places in the future."
"When the Grand Master heard that Lu Bu had a daughter, I mentioned it gently, saying that the Sun family in Jiangdong is a famous family and wanted to make the Qin and Jin love each other."
"But who knew that when King Lu Bu of Jin heard that we wanted to marry his daughter, he threw the letter written by the king at his feet. At the same time, he cursed in front of the civil and military officials in the court, 'How can a tiger girl be worthy of a dog'? Not to mention that he is just a blue-eyed child of Sun Quan, even Sun Ce's arrogant man is not qualified."
"If Jiangdong knows the good and bad, he will quickly ask Sun to surrender and become rich and prosperous in the future."
As the envoy finished the whole process of this time, the generals in Jiangdong suddenly became angry. You, Lu Bu, are the best in the world, but you cannot underestimate others so much. As the saying goes, the principle of humiliating the minister and dying, the integrity of this era suddenly made the civil and military officials furious.
"Fight!"
"war!"
"Please fight at the end!"
Finally, the civil and military officials in Jiangdong were in a state of chaos. Sun Ce immediately led his troops to order Zhou Yu to lead 150,000 Jiangdong troops to Jiangxia for the general, and Sun Quan followed the army to be responsible for representing him.
This time, the 150,000 troops in Jiangdong were not all, but they also exhausted the troops in Jiangdong.
Liu Bei in Jingzhou even raised 200,000 troops to form an alliance with Jiangdong, and both sides claimed that they had 500,000 troops to resist Lu Bu together.
Shinno.
Zhao Yun, a general under King Lu Bu of Jin, led 30,000 troops as a vanguard army to directly outside Xinye City. At night, there was no one in the air, but Zhao Yun stared at the silent Xinye City in the distance.
"Report~ General, the scout came to report that there was no one in Xinye City, and even the people were gone."
After listening to the report, Xu Huang, as the deputy general, immediately smiled and clasped his fists and laughed: "General Zhao, I guess it was because Liu Bei's army learned that the king had gone south with the victorious army, and the small town of Xinye had been abandoned."
It is possible, but Zhao Yun always feels something is wrong and can't help but say in a deep voice: "Be careful when the army enters the city."
promise!
Under the stars in the sky, the footsteps of the Northern Liang Army echoed in Xinye City. Xu Huang was even more relieved and turned to look at Zhao Yun, who was younger than him.
Although Zhao Yun was young, he was quite mature in military use. Even though he was not lazy again under such circumstances, Xu Huang secretly admired this scene. No wonder this person was able to make such a great reputation at a young age, and was deeply trusted by the king, and he actually became a son-in-law.
"Zilong, if Liu Biao had not been assassinated in Jingzhou, he would have had your wedding wine in Luoyang before."
Haha ~
When they said this, the generals laughed and said to their chief general Zhao Yun, who folded his fists and congratulated him. Zhao Yun's solemn face also showed a smile on his solemn face.
Especially when he thought of the figure in Luoyang that made him dream of, Zhao Yun's mouth slowly curled up for a moment.
"Haha~ But it won't delay General Zhao for a long time. The king and his great victory army can lead to the defeat, just a few Liu Bei, Jingzhou, weaving mats and selling shoes, and Jiangdong actually dared to send troops to oppose the king. I'm really looking for death."
"Yes, we will defeat Liu Bei and Jiangdong Sun as soon as possible. We can still drink General Zhao's wedding wine when we go back."
"Don't yell. General Zhao was obviously disturbed by the wedding night. He had long hated Liu Bei in Jingzhou and Sun in Jiangdong, haha~"
Just as the generals were joking, Zhao Yun's face changed suddenly, and he pointed directly at the last joke general and shouted: "What did you say just now?"
Zhao Yun shouted loudly, and the generals all became embarrassed, thinking that the joke was too big. The general pointed at him lowered his head and fisted, saying, "The last general Xing Daorong."
With a look of apologizing, Zhao Yun said in a deep voice: "No! Keep repeating what you said just now."
Xu Huang seemed to see something, and immediately explained to Xing Daorong and said, "Tell me quickly. General Zhao is not such a stingy person. He must have discovered something."
At this moment, the generals secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Under Xing Daorong's confused eyes, he said, "I said General Zhao hates Liu Bei in Jingzhou and Sun in Jiangdong to death."
"No! What about the previous sentence!"
Facing Zhao Yun's deep inquiry, the generals spoke to relieve him: "General Zhao, General Xing just said, 'Don't yell, General Zhao was obviously disturbed by the wedding candle, and he had long hated Liu Bei in Jingzhou and Sun in Jiangdong. Then he laughed twice."
Suddenly, the scenes of what happened when he entered the city just now echoed in his mind. Zhao Yun's face turned pale, cold sweat kept flowing down, and he murmured: "Bridal chamber flowers! Flowers! Flowers!"
After talking three times, Zhao Yun suddenly pulled out the gentian silver spear and directly picked it up and flew away the house next to him. He immediately looked at the mess and dry firewood all over the floor, and his face changed even more.
Xu Huang also saw something, and hurriedly rode a war horse to the eaves. With his superb riding skills, he actually stood on the back of the horse with both feet. He grabbed a handful of hay from the eaves with one hand and put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it. His face suddenly changed.
"Oh no! Grease!"
Just as Xu Huang was about to shout, Zhao Yun hurriedly stopped him. At this moment, the generals reacted one by one and were shocked.
At this time, Zhao Yun took a deep breath after his life after the disaster. He looked at Xing Daorong and clasped his fists and said in a deep voice: "Thanks to General Xing to remind him, otherwise he would have been all the Jingzhou army's way tonight."
"No, no! The last general knows nothing. He is actually General Zhao and the heavenly beings. The blessing general is reincarnated, and the ever-victorious general of heaven is reincarnated."
At this moment, Xing Daorong looked at Zhao Yun with admiration on his face. At this moment, he really believed in the dazzling army. As long as he followed Zhao Yun, he would have countless military achievements and would not have to worry about the possibility of defeat. Even if there is help from any desperate situation, he really believed it this time.
"General Xu Huang, if you quickly lead a 10,000 army out of the city, prepare for the rest of the generals quickly ordered the soldiers of the three armies to enter the city, and then they all climbed up to the city tower and prepare for the battle formation under the city wall."
promise!
"As soon as the fire broke out in the city, the generals immediately ordered the soldiers of the three armies to scream. At that time, I personally led the elite troops to be defeated out of the city."
promise!
"After I cheated and lost out of the city, the enemy's ambush will definitely enter Xinye to investigate the facts of our army. You will hide on the city tower, just waiting for the Jingzhou army to enter the city for a moment, and the arrows will be fired at once, and the army will directly charge."
promise!
After the military orders were issued, soldiers who were crazily urging their war horses to run wildly in Xinye City. At the same time, the Beiliang army entering Xinye City did not go deeper. Instead, they were close to the city wall under the night sky, either hiding up the city tower or hiding in the open space.
Xu Huang led an army of 10,000 to station outside the city. This scene made the Liu Bei army in Jingzhou in secret smile when they saw it.
"Haha, God helps me. Although I didn't go all in, there are 20,000. Tonight, you and my brothers defeated the elite vanguard of Beiliang. We will definitely be able to have the power of you and me."
Wei Yan, hiding in the dark, slapped his thighs excitedly and said to Gan Ning beside him. Both of them were awkward, especially Gan Ning, which was because of this that the two were more in love.
"Brother Gan Ning, let's choose the two of us. Who will enter the city? Who will chase the enemy?"
Facing Wei Yan's excited smile, Gan Ning also grinned, grabbed a handful of hay and raised it high.
"You and I will draw a straw pole each. Whoever grows will chase the enemy, and whoever is short will enter Xinye to clean up the mess."
“Haha~ OK.”
The two laughed loudly. After pulling out the length, it was obvious that Wei Yan burst into laughter excitedly, while Gan Ning was a little disappointed, and she couldn't help but sigh and threw the grass in her hand to the ground.
"Okay, Gan Ning is here to wish General Wei a victory in the flag, and it is best to capture this vanguard general of Beiliang alive in one battle."
When talking about this, Gan Ning even winked at Wei Yan and laughed: "I heard that this person is Lu Bu's son-in-law, and he is known as the world's number one military general after Huang Zhong's old age. He is even called the ever-winning general. He has never lost his life in his battles."
Looking at Gan Ning's sincere congratulations, Wei Yan laughed and patted the other party's shoulder, "Brother Gan Ning, don't worry, laugh no matter how good the battle is, you and I will share it evenly."
"Haha, General Wei Yan, this plan is the credit of the military advisor. You and I are not the principal ones."
Haha ~
With the two chuckled, Gan Ning and Wei Yan secretly made preparations. This time, a 15,000 army was secretly ambushed outside Xinye City. Later, Wei Yan would personally lead 8,000 troops to hunt down the defeated soldiers of Beiliang, while Gan Ning needed to lead 7,000 troops into Xinye City, so as not to form another army of Beiliang.
With the waiting of Wei Yan and Gan Ning with 15,000 elite Jingzhou troops, the Beiliang troops in the city also set up ambush one after another. Finally, the four gates swayed torches, and fire suddenly appeared in the city.
First, there were lights of fire flashing, and there were fewer panic sounds, but then the panic sounds became louder and louder, and it became denser. As it seemed, the more panic the fire in Xinye City became bigger and bigger.
There were fire everywhere, and panic shouts everywhere.
"It's on fire, put out the fire soon."
"Damn it, who caught the fire? Put it out soon."
"Bastard, why are you going to put out the fire? You've been trapped, run away."
"Ahhh~Save me, save me~"
"I've been trapped, run away."
"The general has an order, and rushed out quickly."
First, there was a panic that soared into the sky, followed by a wailing scream that rang under the night sky, as if Xinyecheng was burning with a raging fire.
The Beiliang Army, which had not yet been established outside the city, started a riot, and Xu Huang even shouted: "Don't be messed up, don't be messed up, array! Arrange the enemy!"
To be continued...
