Chapter 101 Self-destructing the Great Wall
Wu Cheng, seven thousand elite soldiers are ready to go.
Zhou Yu looked at these expectant gazes under his command, and his heart couldn't help but feel excited: "Bo Fu, have you seen it? Whether it is victory or defeat in this battle, I will fight for you happily!"
Three days ago, Ling Cao fought with Gan Ning in Wuxing area. Although there were serious casualties, the purpose of attracting Gan Ning's attention was achieved. Last night, Lu Fan's vanguard, three thousand soldiers attacked Songjiang and Huating at night, and inserted into Gao Chong's hinterland from behind. At this critical moment, Zhou Yu's long-planned last attempt was on the Qiqian Jianer in front of him.
"Please be honest, Wu Hou has an order: You must keep the Wucheng firmly, and don't take risks and be strong!" Jiang Qin tightened the reins of the horse, and a hint of uneasiness appeared on his dark face.
Zhou Yu looked calm and said in a deep voice: "Dung Yi, the victory is today. Don't let Wu Hou down the grace of knowing the favor!"
Jiang Qin hesitated and opened his mouth, and finally swallowed the words that came to his mouth. He knew that the Wu Hou Zhou Yu mentioned was the late Sun Ce, not the current Sun Quan, although Sun Quan had just been appointed by the court a few days ago and was able to inherit the Wu Hou who succeeded Sun Ce.
"Rise up!" Zhou Yu ordered.
The whimpering sound of the horn sounded, and the soldiers in single clothes in the cold wind raised their heads fearlessly and looked at the commander with a respectful look. At this moment, they had already entrusted their lives to Zhou Yu.
"Please be careful!" With this loud shout, several riders rushed towards him not far away, with a general with a tiger's back and a bear's waist on his shoulders. He looked at the face under the helmet, and there was a man with iron bones and strong and resolute courage. The strand of hair and beard exposed along the helmet were gray.
"Public rebuttal, why are you here?" Zhou Yu felt a little nervous. This veteran was not someone else, but Huang Gai, the only remaining four tiger generals who followed Sun Jian. I don't know why Huang Gai, who has been guarding Kuaiji, has arrived here.
Huang Gai flew off the horse, took off the embroidered sack from his back, held it in his hand and shouted: "Gong Jin, the Marquis of Wu has an order: quickly order Ling Cao to retreat, and the rest of the troops guard Wu Cheng!"
Zhou Yu's face changed, he ignored Huang Gai's shouting, turned around and shouted at Jiang Qin who was in front of him, "The army was sent to the city of Wujun!"
Seeing that Zhou Yu did not listen to the dissuasion, Huang Gai was furious and said, "Gong Jin, you dare to disobey the order of Wu Hou!"
Zhou Yu smiled coldly and said, "Yu has Marquis Wu in his heart, and he disdains to say too much!"
Seeing that Zhou Yu was obsessed with it, Huang Gai rode his horse to block Jiang Qin's way and shouted: "Zhou Yu, if you don't order back to the army, don't blame me for being ruthless! All the troops will listen. Wu Hou has an order, and if anyone goes to fight without authorization, he will be executed without mercy!"
After Huang Gai said that, he suddenly opened the seal of the treasure bag, took out an ancient sheathed sword from the bag, and shouted sternly: "The ancient sword is here, are the soldiers still not obeying the order?"
The ancient sword is a treasure passed down by the Sun family for three lifetimes. It is said that Sun Jian found it from the ruins of the palace when he led his people to conquer Luoyang. After Sun Jian died, he passed it to Sun Ce. When Sun Ce died, he handed the sword symbolizing power and glory to Sun Quan.
The blade reflected the sunshine, and the illusion of light was filled with brilliance, making people dare not look at it. Seven thousand soldiers knelt down, silent for a moment.
"Bo Fu, God's will is so will. How can I do if I have only one force!" Zhou Yu sighed to the sky, his jade face was pale, and blood was oozing out of the corners of his mouth.
As soon as Huang Gai took out the ancient sword, Zhou Yu knew that the matter was irreversible. Although he was the commander, these soldiers were the Sun family members after all. In the harmony of the public, if they forcibly violated the order, there would probably be no one else who followed him except the main department.
Although Sun Quan is very talented, Rong Ren's belly is far less powerful than his brother. Zhou Yu knew that there must be many spies watching him, otherwise how could Huang Gai come so quickly? Since ancient times, he has no doubts about using people and no doubts. Sun Quan is more stable, but he has no courage to scoundrel. In addition, he has heavy troops in his hand, which will inevitably arouse suspicion.
"Return to the camp!" Zhou Yu looked sad and angry. After he spoke these two words with difficulty, his body was already shaking.
Seeing Zhou Yu's situation, Huang Gai also showed a hint of resentment on his face, so he said to Jiang Qin: "Duke Yi, please send Duke back to the military tent to rest. Let me hand it over here!"
Wu Xing and Ling Cao are in desperate situation.
Gan Ning's combat power is so powerful that only three simple contacts have endured Ling Cao's suffering.
"Father, there is no road ahead!" Ling Tong walked with a knife and rushed forward.
Ling Cao turned around and looked at the enemy who was chasing him. Weiran sighed: "Tong'er, we have done our best to fight to the point of surrender!"
Ling Tong nodded and said, "Even Sun Ce is not a match for Gao Chong, and Sun Quan is even better!"
In Huating and Songjiang, Lu Fan was surrounded by Lu Xun who came to help. Although the surprise attack on the night before had the expected results, Lu Xun's reaction would be so fast. Ten thousand high-pick soldiers rushed from Wujun. Lu Fan fought hard for a day, and more than half of the three thousand troops were lost.
"Where is Gong Jin?" Lu Fan couldn't help thinking in his eyes looking at the direction of Wujun.
Just when Lu Fan was thinking this way, he didn't know that Zhou Yu had been blocked by Huang Gai in Wu Cheng, and the opponent in front of him, in addition to Lu Xun, also Gao Chong.
"General, this is the arrow shot by the enemy!" A personal soldier walked forward quickly.
Lu Fan took it and untied it. It was a letter of persuasion written by Gao Chong. Judging from Gao Chong's calm attitude, there was no Zhou Yu's soldiers and soldiers appear in Wujun.
Lu Fan tried hard to break the arrow branch, and he said sadly, who had always been silent: "Jiangdong is finally the world of high favor!"
After Ling Cao and Lu Fan successively surrendered Gao Feng, Wu Cheng's Zhou Yu was also in a state of hesitation and decision. Sun Quan's distrust made him feel sincere regret. Although Sun Quan and Sun Ce were brothers, they were not Sun Ce after all.
"Those who know me are Bo Fu!" This sentence may only be warmed up in a dream.
"Zhou Lang————I have a saying, "I don't know whether to say it or not?" Xiao Qiao carefully wiped the blood from the corner of Zhou Yu's mouth, and his pretty and pure face was full of care.
Zhou Yu held Xiao Qiao's hand tightly with distress and said, "Your if you have something to say?"
Xiao Qiao said softly: "I can't say anything about military and national affairs, but since I'm not happy, I'd better quit. It's not a kind of happiness to plant beans under the moon in the melon fields and the mountains of beans!"
Zhou Yu thought and blurted out, "Why didn't you persuade me to join Gao Chong? Isn't he your brother-in-law?"
Xiao Qiao smiled and said, "Although I think so, I don't want to say it, because I know that Zhou Lang still has some things in his heart that he can't let go!"
Zhou Yu murmured: "So what if you let it go, so what if you can't let it go?"
Xiao Qiao said: "Zhou Lang, Qian'er knows that a real man should value love and friendship, but if the love is no longer there, he should make a decision early. He should know that he should be constantly determined and suffer from chaos!"
Zhou Yu hugged Xiao Qiao lovingly and whispered: "What Qianer said is that I should have understood this principle for a long time. It is a good idea to plant beans in the melon field and the moonlight of the melon field, and plant beans in the south of the mountains. What's the regret of my Zhou Yu being able to stay with such a beautiful confidant in this life!"
That night, the cold wind in late autumn was tighter and tighter, which meant to uproot the camp from the ground. Huang Gai looked solemn and sat upright in the tent opposite Jiang Qin. The wine bottle on the table was already empty.
"General, Zhou Yu has left the main account!" A secret spy leaned over quietly and reported.
Huang Gai's face changed, and his right hand couldn't help but hold the sword tightly, and then he asked for a moment: "Does anyone else know about this?"
The spy stepped forward and replied: "No, when the little one gets the news, he will come to see the general immediately!"
Huang Gai suddenly stood up, walked up to him, and said, "Okay, very good--!" Suddenly, Huang Gai was unsheathed and pushed his right hand forward. The tip of the knife pierced straight into the spy's abdomen, and blood suddenly flowed all over the ground.
"General, you-!" The spy opened his eyes wide, as if he was unwilling to accept it. He grabbed the void with his hands a few times, but he didn't catch anything.
"Public refusal, why are you?" Jiang Qin's face changed drastically when he saw this change.
Huang Gai smiled miserably and said, "Dong Yi, for the sake of loyalty and righteousness, I know that Gong Jin has not rebelled, but I still stopped Gong Jin's plan. Now, for the sake of love and friendship, I want Gong Jin to leave peacefully!"
Jiang Qin's eyes turned red and she said with tears in her eyes: "But in this way, the rebuttal will be suspicious of the Marquis of Wu!"
Huang Gai pushed away the body, wiped off the blood from the knife, and shouted: "In the past, the four tigers in Jiangdong were fighting against the Kanto, and the heroes were afraid. My Wentai Duke defeated the Dong thief of Xiliang and was famous. However, Zu Mao died early, Cheng Pu and Han Dang were also dead. If Wu Hou suspected, Gai would lead the knife quickly, which would be better than being so arrogant!"
When Jiang Qin heard Huang Gai's tragic words, he felt even more nervous. He thought that Zhou Tai and others who defected to Sun Ce with him died and surrendered. When he first joined Sun Ce, he wanted to show his ambitions, but now he ended up with a bleak and miserable ending.
With Huang Gai's acquiescence, Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao did not encounter any trouble when they went out of the camp. The two had already changed into civilian outfits and went all the way north. According to Zhou Yu's intention, he wanted to return to his hometown of Shucheng, Lujiang County with Xiao Qiao to live in seclusion. However, if he wanted to think about Shucheng in Jiangbei, he had to pass through Gao Chong's territory and whether he could pass through safely, he was not sure.
Wujun, prefect's office.
Gao Chong's mood cannot be better.
The servants in the mansion had already set up a banquet and were preparing to welcome the two generals Ling Cao and Lu Fan who had just surrendered. In addition to Lu Xun, Gan Ning, Xu Shu, Lu Su, there were also Zhang Wen, Liu Dun and other officials who had surrendered earlier.
"People's handsome man, how can you dare to accept this great gift when he is guilty!" Lu Fan looked ashamed and raised the wine bottle and said. He was besieged by Gao Chong in Huating that day, which was actually a last resort. He did not want to be treated like Gao Chong.
Gao Chong was radiant. Since October, good things have happened. Not only did Da Qiao have his own flesh and blood, but he also achieved an overwhelming victory on the battlefield. Zhang Wen and He Qi's surrender was like a starting point, and those who could not see hope under Sun Quan found the goal of surrender.
"Ziheng is a great talent. Our army's garrison is accumulated in Songjiang. Most of the food and grass in Huating are occupied by your attack. Chong is really afraid that you will not surrender!" Gao Chong laughed. His words were not false. If Lu Fan had the intention of burning grain and dying together, Gao Chongjun would be very sad this winter.
Lu Fan said: "I am too humble to favor the handsome man. This is Gongjing's plan. Fan dares not speak lies!"
Ling Cao also replied loudly, "Peo Zheng, what Ziheng said is not false. It turns out that we have already planned. First, Ziheng and I will attract the attention of Gan Ning and Lu Xun armies, and then Gong Jin led the main force of Wucheng to attack Wujun. Unfortunately, the great plan failed!" At this point, Ling Cao showed a hint of regret on his face. Although he surrendered to Gao Chong, Ling Cao would still treat Gao Chong as his enemy psychologically.
"If that weren't the case, how could I have a drink with General Ling today!" Gan Ning slapped the table and shouted.
While talking and laughing, Mei Gan hurriedly ran over from outside the mansion, approached Gao Chong, and leaned over and said, "Pengshuai, scout news, the enemy army in Wucheng changed the night before yesterday, Huang Gai took over the military camp, and Zhou Yu was missing!"
Gao Chong was shocked and said, "Is there any news about Zhou Yu's whereabouts?"
Mei Gan shook her head and said, "No."
"Is there any news about Xiao Qiao?" Gao Chong asked.
Meigan Road: "I heard that on the night when Huang Gai took over the camp, two black shadows quietly left the camp. As for whether Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao were not known?"
"People's handsome guy, in Su's opinion, these two people are very likely Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao. I think the most likely place they go to after they sneak out of Wucheng is Shucheng." Lu Su, who was sitting on Gao Chong's right, stood up and walked forward tightly, admonishing him.
Xu Shu smiled and stepped forward and said, "Congratulations to the handsome guy, the beauty plan has finally been achieved. Sun Quan left Zhou Yu, like a tiger who lost his sharp teeth, and there is nothing scary anymore."
When Gan Ning, Lu Xun, Lei Xu and other generals heard the good news, they all raised their own cups to congratulate each other. Only Ling Cao, Lu Fan, Zhang Wen and others looked extremely unnatural.
"Come here, prepare horses with me, I want to welcome Zhou Yu in person!" Gao Chongxing was so excited that he suppressed his head and drank the strong wine in the bottle, and then took a big step toward the door of the mansion.
Mei Gan hurriedly stopped him and said, "People coach, are you going to wait until you find out where Zhou Yu is going--?"
Gao Chong laughed and said, "It was too late at that time. Zijing, Yuanzhi, Ziheng, you guys are willing to come with me together!"
Looking at Gao Chong's eagerness to seek talent, Lu Fan's eyes were blurred. Suddenly, the past from many years ago came to his heart. At that time, Sun Ce was like Gao Chong, and was so bold that he was determined and resolute.
