Chapter 100 Liu Undead (10)
Sun Quan was determined to win Hefei.
He heard that Hefei was completely unprepared. Liu Fu, the governor of Yangzhou established by Cao Cao, had passed away not long ago, and there were only a few thousand defenders in the city. It was too easy to break through this place.
He ordered Zhang Zhao to lead his army to attack Dangtu, and he led more than 18,000 elite troops to the city with Zhang Hong.
This battle was really too easy, and Sun Quan was already a little excited.
He couldn't wait to enter Hefei City and look for his own opportunities.
Sun Ben told him that Zhuge Liang found a few words about him from the Heavenly Book. Although he did not untie the words of the Heavenly Book, Hefei was firmly united with Sun Quan, and this place was most likely the destiny of Sun Quan.
Sun Quan was worried about Zhuge Liang's nonsense, so he invited Wu Fan, one of the eight masters of Jiangdong, to tell fortunes to himself to see what Hefei has to do with him.
Wu Fan didn't know why this small town made Sun Quan so excited. He calculated his fingers and his face suddenly changed drastically.
"And, it's really..."
"Really?" Sun Quan was ecstatic.
"Yes, yes." Wu Fan also looked unbelievable, "I look at the land of Hefei, where all the kingly auras gather here. If this city is broken, there should be a destiny tied to him, but... it seems that he has to enter the city."
Just go into the city?
That's so simple?
This place is just a small town the size of a palm, and it is impossible to even accommodate an army of more than 10,000 people.
Our army is strong and strong, and we are in a strong spirit. Isn’t this just a matter of slight damage?
Sun Quan took a boat out of Chaohu Lake with an excited look and landed under Hefei City. But looking at the city wall in front of him, he immediately fell into deep thought.
Many years ago, he came here with his brother Sun Ce.
At that time, the walls of Hefei were low and many had collapsed. The people in the city were all displaced. The strongest resistance they encountered was a group of extremely hungry refugees plundering their food in the city.
But now the city walls of Hefei are towering and moats are dug outside the city. Although there are not many defenders on the top of the city, they are well-clad and well-marked. When they see Sun Quan coming, the soldiers at the top of the city even brought a large number of bows and crossbows to prepare for the battle. Even the stoves are slowly brought onto the city wall, looking like they are sticking to the end.
This made Sun Quan a little surprised.
But it doesn't matter.
In history, I have fought with the Cao army many times in Hefei, but I came early this time, and the Cao army was not present. No matter how strong Liu Fu is, can his undead still kill people?
Sun Quan sneered, slowly waved the flag on his hand, and said in a calm and domineering voice:
"Siege!"
·
Sun Quan was preparing to attack Hefei, Liu Bei was planning to occupy Jingzhou, and Cao Cao quickly headed north from Xiangyang. Before the news of his defeat spread, he wanted to go back and stabilize the situation immediately, in case those old Han officials were obeying the wind and taking the opportunity to do something that was harmful to the sky.
The Cao army was defeated in this battle. The main force advancing east was either heavy or defeated, but the elite navy under Cai Mao was not affected.
Cai Mao fled to his hometown Xiangyang in one breath, and entered Xiangyang as the governor of Jingzhou, and ordered Le Jin to lead people out quickly. Of course, Le Jin refused to follow. The two were at a strife and were about to fight.
Fortunately, Zhao Yan, who had been scrambling to fish at this time, played a role.
He rushed to Xiangyang and solemnly told Cai Mao that the seven armies under his command were not damaged. Although they were affected by some diseases, they still maintained strong combat power. If Cai Mao obeyed Prime Minister Cao's command, he would still be the Muslim in Jingzhou and General Zhennan. If he was disobedient, Cao's army would unite and beat him up first.
The influence of the famous Yingchuan scholar Zhao Yan still made Cai Mao quite afraid. Seeing that he was fearless, Cai Mao weighed the pros and cons and thought that it was not the time to turn against Cao Cao. He quickly said that all this was a misunderstanding, and wrote a letter to Cao Cao to ask about his well-being, and took the opportunity to throw the blame out.
Cai Mao said in the letter that he did not deliberately escape and abandon his friendly troops at that time. It was because the people of Yingchuan were too scammers. Chen Qun even personally guided the Sun and Liu coalition forces to cause rebellion, which made the soldiers in Jingzhou afraid of falling into the traitor's plan. He remembered that Zhao Yan and Chen Qun were both from Yingchuan, and might cooperate with Liu Bei to cut off the retreat. For the sake of Cao Cao's safety, he left temporarily and specially entered Xiangyang to ensure his return.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he left, the Sun and Liu coalition forces fought over without being moral, which is enough to show that the people of Yingchuan do not have a good intention and should all die.
In the letter, he apologized with fear and fear, saying that if Cao Cao wanted to kill him, Cai Mao would immediately surrender, and that the thousands of people under his command would never cause trouble.
Cheng Yu was originally worried that Cao Cao would have a stroke when he saw Cai Mao's shameless letter.
But after reading the letter, Cao Cao actually looked dull and even nodded calmly, and took Cai Mao's letter to blow his nose.
That's it?
That's it?
But that's it!
Xu Chu's way of death reminded Cao Cao of Dian Wei again. His confidant guards were killed. He has become much more awake in extreme anger these days. He has already determined that his opponent is Liu Bei, not a clown like Cai Mao.
When Zhang Xiu surrendered, he rebelled again. His favorite son Cao Ang and his favorite general Dian Wei both died in the chaos. For the sake of the overall situation, he endured Zhang Xiu surrendered, which made him become as powerful as he is now.
Cai Mao is nothing, he is just a dog like Zhang Xiu.
Wait, this revenge will be avenged sooner or later.
He asked Cheng Yu to reply to comfort Cai Mao, and told everyone that Cai Mao was his own person, and everyone must be friendly to each other and ensure order in Jingzhou together.
Le Jin and Xu Huang were very angry. After receiving Cao Cao's letter, they were even more annoyed and were about to violate Cao Cao's orders and raid and behead Cai Mao at night.
But Cai Mao is not a fool. After he arrived in Xiangyang, he hid back to his hometown Caizhou. Caizhou was on an island and was happy to enter. Xu Huang's troops and the sick soldiers under Zhao Yan had to make the Cai family laugh at each other.
"This is not OK, that is not OK. What do you think of? What should you do!"
Le Jin spoke while cursing, and kicked the table in front of Zhao Yan away. He was already irritable and could not fight back after being provoked by Cai Mao. This was more frustrating than slashing him.
"If it were Tanzhi! We would not be bullied like this by Cai Mao!
Now, who can command water war? It’s all you, you…”
"You have a clean mouth." Zhao Yan slowly stood up beside him, looking at the tall and mighty body, even though Le Jin was brave, he couldn't help swallowing.
"Zhang Wenyuan, you are very capable, why didn't you listen to the Prime Minister's military orders before? So what if I'm timid when I scold you?"
Zhang Liao, 39 years old this year, is tall, with a rebellious and cold face, and looks tough and fierce. He looked at Le Jin, who is short and sneered:
"Our army suffered a great epidemic and went south to fight and win in a difficult situation. If Boran had not insisted on it, our army would have suffered a defeat now. You have also seen that Cai Mao wanted to take advantage of the Prime Minister's defeat and sneak back to Xiangyang and occupy this place.
If we also sent troops and Cai Mao gathered in Xiangyang, how should you resist?
Now is not the time to shirk responsibility. I expect Sun Liu to attack Jiangling. Why don’t you think about rescue strategies?”
Zhang Liao really thanks Zhao Yan.
The Cao army had strict disciplines and would have violated military orders and the consequences would be unimaginable. But if they obeyed Cao Cao's orders to send troops, their northerners would be seriously ill, and with seasickness, they would have to become Liu Bei's prisoners.
On that day, Zhao Yan weighed the pros and cons, thinking that if he sent troops according to Cao Cao's request, the entire army might be defeated, and he would either be captured or fled back, and he would probably take the blame. However, he firmly violated the military order. Yu Jin, Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Li Dian, Zhu Ling and others would definitely make efforts to ensure that he is safe, so he firmly refused to obey Cao Cao's orders. After Cao Cao fled to Xiangyang, he wanted to kill Zhao Yan to vent his anger, but Yu Jin and others had to give up, and just transferred Zhao Yan to the prime minister's chief clerk. Although he had no military power, it was at least not a demotion.
With Zhang Liao's support, Zhao Yan was not afraid of the violent Le Jin. He sneered, "Without the navy, we can practice again. People from Jingzhou have been stationed by the river and have practiced a good water quality, but we may not be able to do it.
We should kill Huang Zhong’s family first to shock those rebel gangsters, and then…”
"Okay." Xu Huang sneered, "Governor Zhao didn't know that Cai Mao had just arrived ashore and kidnapped all of Huang Zhong's family. Now they have all gone to Caizhou. If the Governor wants to kill him, he can take people to kill him."
Le Jin also said sarcastically:
"Gongming, Boran is no longer the governor. You call him one by one and make him feel so uncomfortable. In a few days, Boran will go back to the Prime Minister and leave me to drink here. You should say less, don't let him talk about me in front of the Prime Minister, right?"
"Yes." Xu Huang sighed, "We can only wait for a group of martial artists. Boran is a famous scholar in Yingchuan. In the future, we will go to the Prime Minister to do things. We are far less than Boran!"
"You!" Zhao Yan's temper was so good that he couldn't stand such teasing. His face turned pale and he immediately drew his sword out of the sheath, pointing at Xu Huang and said, "You bullied me too much, can you dare to die with me?"
Xu Huang laughed and sat down cross-legged:
"Come on, if you force me to get up, I will kowtow to you and apologize."
"Rareless!" Li Dian had also received a lot of favor from Zhao Yan before. Seeing that Xu Huang was so humiliating Zhao Yan, he immediately drew his sword and pointed at Xu Huang's forehead and said sternly, "Xu Huang, why don't you apologize to the governor!"
Le Jin stood beside Xu Huang and drew his sword out of the sheath, staring at Li Dian without fear, and said in a cold voice:
"He is not the governor and guard now! Who can give you great courage to point the sword at Gongming!"
Although everyone in the tent knew that this was not the time for internal conflict, they were all warriors, just like who was good at it. Now that the morale is so low, we will just touch it if there is any injustice. Isn’t it just that my subordinates will see the truth?
Seeing that a fire was inevitable, the surprise voice of Xu Huang's chief clerk Liang Qi suddenly came outside the tent:
"General! General! Great Joy! Great Joy! Great Joy!
