Chapter 60 Crossing the River in White

After hearing Lu Su's words, Sun Quan immediately pulled out a roll of blank bamboo slips from the low table, gritted his teeth and grinded his ink, picked up a pen to dip ink and then picked up a pen to write.

When Lu Xun, who was standing beside Sun Quan, saw the title at the beginning of the bamboo slip, he was startled and immediately leaned down and held Sun Quan's hand.

"Lord, think twice!"

Sun Quan raised his head and glared wide, confronting Lu Xun's eyes.

The beginning of the bamboo slip is "King of Wei"

Lu Xun had already guessed what Sun Quan was going to do, but Sun Quan did not lose his mind at this moment.

According to Gan Ning's attitude, as long as he tramples on Jingzhou, Jiangdong will definitely be difficult to survive.

If Jiangdong wants to launch a sudden arrow and attack the Taiping Army, it must unite with Cao Wei.

However, Cao Pi wrote to Sun Quan before, hoping that the two families would form an alliance, but Sun Quan did not reply. If he replied again, he would have to pay the price.

"Boyan, I'm very sober."

Although Sun Quan looked angry, his mouth was clear and his words were heavy, without any hesitation or ambiguity.

Lu Xun closed his eyes and sighed, slowly let go of his hand. Sun Quan wrote a letter and wrote it in one go, and then ordered people to send it to Yecheng to King Cao Pi of Wei.

At the same time, all the Jiangdong army of Chaisang were transferred to Jiangxia County and handed over to Commander Zhou Yu. Lu Xun accompanied the army to bring Sun Quan's secret order.

Cao Pi was anxious in Yecheng and was worried about the battle situation in Xiangfan. When Cao Ren sent someone to deliver the letter to Cao Pi, Cao Pi almost fell from his seat after reading it.

Wow

Cao Pi looked in a daze. The officials of the Wei Kingdom looked at each other in the lobby, not knowing what was going on in Fancheng, which could make Cao Pi so disobedient!

After Yu Jin led reinforcements to join Cao Ren's troops, the number of troops exceeded that of the Taiping Army led by Gan Ning!

Even if you can't win, at least you'll never defeat!

However, when Chen Qun made the details of the battle report publicly, all the civil and military officials in Yecheng were bloodless and the king was shocked!

"Yu Jin's husband! You have betrayed the King of Wei!"

When Xu Huang, Xiahou Yuan, Li Dian and other generals heard that Yu Jin had surrendered to Gan Ning, they immediately cursed.

The King of Wei they mentioned obviously did not refer to Cao Pi, but Cao Cao.

As Yu Jin, who followed Cao Cao all the way to fight, chose to surrender instead of dying and loyalty. This is simply a matter of no difference from being ungrateful to the Lord.

Moreover, this incident further damaged the morale of the army. Did the chief general of the three armies surrender?

The civil servants were thinking more, so someone came out to suggest Cao Pi moved the capital!

This capital was not moved to the capital of the King of Wei, but to the capital of Xuchang.

Once Fancheng is lost and Xiangfan changes its ownership, whether Ganning will fight Wancheng or not is second, and the most important thing is that Xuchang will have a crisis of fall.

Liu Xie is a double-edged sword. When Cao Cao used it, he would hurt the enemy. If it fell into the hands of others, it would be a major blow to Cao Wei. Even if Liu Xie in Cao Pi's hands is not as valuable as before, it cannot fall into Guo Jia's hands.

Therefore, the civil servant suggested moving the capital.

Cao Pi was so brave that he was as cold as ice when everyone suggested that he move the capital.

If the imperial capital is moved to Hebei, it is equivalent to Cao Wei's plan to give up the Central Plains. This step back is not to have a vast sky, but a vast abyss.

Cao Wei without the Central Plains will sooner or later die!

Just as the lobby was in silence, another guard came from outside and submitted a letter from Jiangdong.

Cao Pi's eyes were sinister. Sun Quan wrote to him at this time, and he thought Sun Quan was uneasy.

Previously, he wrote to Sun Quan to suggest that the two alliances jointly attack the Taiping Army, but Sun Quan did not reply.

Now Fancheng has suffered a major defeat, but Sun Quan wrote a letter!

Is it a detriment to the wrongdoing?

With a gloomy face, he opened Sun Quan's letter, and the clouds on Cao Pi's face gradually dissipated, and suddenly burst into laughter, and then he burst into laughter.

Submission of the book!

Sun Quan actually sent a surrender book beyond Cao Pi's surprise!

Take the initiative to submit and submit!

And he wrote in the letter: To help you help yourself!

This is to use Gan Ning’s head as the sincerity of surrender!

Cao Pi waved his hand and shouted, "Move the capital? No! Everyone, this letter is Sun Quan's surrender to Gu!"

Everyone was shocked, as if they were hit by a bolt from the blue.

Did Sun Quan surrender voluntarily?

Suddenly, there was a buzzing sound in the hall, and civil and military officials were talking about this matter. Some were suspicious, some were surprised, and some were calm as if they were not concerned about their own affairs.

Cao Pi slowly rolled up Sun Quan's surrender letter. He would not naively think that Sun Quan's request to surrender to represent Jiangdong had all belonged to Cao Wei. This was an alliance attitude and was Sun Quan's way of expressing sincerity. If it was just an ordinary letter to form an alliance, Cao Pi would inevitably have questions.

But the surrendered book cannot be easily presented.

With this surrender letter, Cao Pi always overtakes Sun Quan in his position as princes in the world, which also means that Sun Quan betrayed the alliance with Guo Jia and instead advanced and retreated with Cao Wei.

Sun Quan wanted to stab Gan Ning in the back, which was something Cao Pi thought about day and night, so he immediately ordered: "Xu Huang, please order you to lead 30,000 soldiers to Fancheng every night, and there must be no mistakes."

Among the current military generals of Cao Wei, the most heavyweight general was Xu Huang, and Cao Pi sent him to fight was also an attitude, a way to tell Sun Quan that he had confidence in defending Fancheng, and the two families attacked the Taiping Army together!

Cao Pi was able to mobilize no more than 50,000 troops, and allowing Xu Huang to lead 30,000 troops to help Fancheng, which further demonstrated his determination to burn his boats.

“Let’s wait.”

Sima Yi was out of the list at this time.

Seeing this, Cao Pi asked, "What's wrong with Zhongda?"

Sima Yi's eyes drooped slightly and said lightly: "The King of Wei sent General Xu to Fancheng. This move was appropriate. However, the officials thought that instead of letting our army fight against Gan Ning head-on, it would be better to provoke the battle between Gan Ning and Jiangdong."

When Cao Pi heard this, he suddenly realized that it was reasonable, so he asked Sima Yi to continue speaking.

Sima Yi walked to Xu Huang, bowed and said in a deep voice: "After the general led his army to Fancheng, he should not fight with the Taiping Army hard. He can let the soldiers write down the matter of taking Sun Quan and being prepared to attack the Taiping Army on the cloth, shoot the arrow into the Taiping Army with an arrow, and tell Gan Ning about this matter and see how he acts."

Papa

Cao Pi praised the case, and the old ministers Cheng Yu, Xun You and others also looked at Sima Yi with even more admiration.

If Gan Ning learned that Sun Quan had surrendered to Cao Wei and planned to sneak attack his rear, what should Gan Ning do? Should he turn around and fight Sun Quan to a life-and-death battle? Or would he wait for the bad news from the rear to come unmoved?

As for Sun Quan, he had submitted a surrender form, he must have made some arrangements in military operations. Even if Gan Ning turned around and found that Sun Quan had not come to start the war, he had already prepared military forces and signs, which would at least allow Gan Ning to start guarding against Jiangdong and relieve the Fancheng crisis.

In any case, the result must be beneficial to Cao Wei.

The most wonderful situation is naturally a life-and-death war between the Taiping Army and Jiangdong, and Cao Wei went to reap profits.

Xu Huang led 30,000 troops to Fancheng and rushed to Fancheng at night. When he arrived in Fancheng, he first raided the Taiping Army's tun on the east side of Fancheng, Juzhongtun!

Meng Da was caught off guard and returned after defeat. Xu Huang successfully entered Fancheng and met with Cao Ren.

After receiving the battle report, Gan Ning personally took the battle to prepare for the battle.

In the scorching sun, Gan Ning appeared on the high wall again. Facing Fancheng, Gan Ning couldn't understand why Xu Huang took the initiative to run into the cage.

According to the principle, it is best to cooperate with Cao Ren with the inside and the outside, but Xu Huang just did the opposite.

The city gate opened wide, and Xu Huang led his army out in a mighty manner, with all the archers around him.

"Xu Gongming, are you here to die too?"

Gan Ning stood above the high wall, condescending with disdain.

Xu Huang said nothing, and immediately waved his hand to order the archer to shoot arrows.

The rain of arrows covered the sky and shot towards the Taiping Army, but Gan Ning looked at the rain of arrows all over the sky and felt even more shocked.

The trajectory of the arrow released by Xu Huang's archer was a parabola. The power of falling from the air was sharply reduced, which was another abnormal move!

He grabbed an arrow casually. Gan Ning saw a white cloth hanging on the arrow, pulled it down and opened it to look closely. He suddenly browsed suddenly. He looked up again and saw that Xu Huang had already led his troops to retreat to Fancheng.

Back at the military camp commander's tent, Gan Ning stared at the white silk on the low table with a heavy face, which said that Sun Quan had surrendered to the King of Wei and was preparing to attack Jiangling.

Why did King Cao Pi of Wei ask someone to warn Gan Ning?

It is said that the two armies fought against each other as their own commanders, but even Cao Pi admired the power of Gan Ning and did not want to see Gan Ning die in vain. So he hoped that Gan Ning would withdraw his troops and avoid bloody disasters.

Zhou Tai and Meng Da walked into the tent together, and they also held white silk in their hands. Not only them, but many low-level generals in the Taiping Army had read the contents.

"Grandmaster, is this matter true or false?"

Zhou Tai and Meng Da were also unsure of their minds. The truth of the matter could not be guessed by guessing it.

Gan Ning was also struggling and hesitating, but soon, his eyes became sharp.

"This must be the enemy's trick. Seeing that Fancheng was about to be destroyed, he sowed the disagreement. Sun Quan's son gave him ten thousand courage, but he didn't dare to take a step forward in Jiangxia County!"

After hearing what Gan Ning said, Zhou Tai and Mengda had no choice but to obey orders and continue to besiege Fancheng.

Jiangling, midnight at night.
