When I was drunk, I read the sword by burning the lamp, and I dreamed of blowing the trumpet company. -----"Broken Array" by Xin Qiji of the Southern Song Dynasty

It is said that the first group of the Qinglong Army, commanded by Huang Gai, Zhou Buyi, and Xi Zhicai, sailed at night, unsheathed their swords, and the cavalry rushed in. They besieged on three sides and captured the big city on the Xiang River within an hour----- - Hengyang.

Gu Jian, the leader of Yi Cong in Hengyang County, was escorted into the lobby of the city lord's palace by Fu Tong in a daze. He saw a handsome young man sitting on the Taishi chair, but he did not know him. He asked: "Who is your honor? Why did you sneak attack on me in Hengyang?" ?”

Chen Long stood up majestically and looked down at Gu Jian from the high platform without saying a word. Huang Gai next to him said: "Brother Gu, I have always heard that you have done many chivalrous things and are well-known in the countryside. It happened that the Yellow Turbans were in chaos and there was a power vacuum in Hengyang. Everyone recommended you to be the leader to protect the township party. However, my lord Chen Long has been in charge of all counties in Lingling County. For a long time, you have been benevolent and righteous, and you have welcomed the refugees. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and everyone in the fifteen surrounding counties respects you. Why do you pretend to be deaf and dumb, neither sending envoys or paying taxes, and want to stand on your own in Hengyang?"

Gu Jiancai knew that the tall and handsome man in front of him was Chen Long. He sneered and said, "It turns out to be General Chen. Hengyang belongs to Jingzhou territory. It seems that it is not the turn of the governor of Jiaozhou to take charge, right?"

When Chen Long saw that Gu Jian was not afraid of death, he felt a little fond of him. In addition, he was pretty good to the people. Chen Long said: "The governor of Jingzhou was originally chosen by the queen, but Liu Biao took it away in despicable ways. I have a lot of people, so I just don't care about him. However, Jingzhou is surrounded by wars." , the people are displaced, and I am the only one in Lingling who is stable and prosperous. You ignore the well-being of the people in Hengyang, refuse to obey me, and even lead troops to separate the territory, but what are your intentions?"

Gu Jian listened without saying a word, with an angry look on his face. Chen Long said again: "You were defeated and captured, but you refused to surrender to me. I should have taken your head. But I think you still have some character and no bad deeds. Come on, let him go!"

Gu Jian was stunned when he heard this. He didn't wake up until the bonds were gone and said, "If you don't kill me, aren't you afraid that I will complain in front of Liu Jingsheng?"

Chen Long snorted and said, "I'm not afraid of He Jin. How can I be afraid of a mere Liu Biao? Zhou Cang, pull a horse for Gu Jian again and don't let him say that I'm stingy in front of Liu Biao. His wife and children, no matter what, He took it upon himself.”

Gu Jian gritted his teeth and walked out of the lobby. When he saw the blue sky outside the lobby, he felt like he was in another world. The vastness of the world highlights the insignificance of oneself. If he meets a person like Chen Long and refuses to surrender, will it be the biggest mistake of his life?

Gu Jian hurriedly went to pick up his wife and children. On the way, he saw that Qinglong's army had committed no crimes and the people were living in peace. He couldn't help but sigh. He had no official position, was dressed in civilian clothes, and led his wife, children, and children. How could he still have the courage to complain in front of Liu Biao? The family spent the night in the morning, miserable, and returned to their hometown in the countryside to farm for a living. Later, Gu Jian's son Gu Lang worked for Chen Long, which is not mentioned later.

The generals were a little puzzled when they saw Chen Long letting Gu Jian go easily. Huang Gai asked: "My lord, why did you let Gu Jian go? If he really goes to Liu Biao to complain, and if Liu Biao drives his troops south, war will be inevitable."

Chen Long smiled slightly and said: "Yuan Zhi, please explain it to me."

Zhou Busuo said: "My lord, let Gu Jian go and complain. If you can provoke Liu Biao to attack Lingling, you will have a reason to fight him and win Jingzhou. I'm afraid that Liu Biao has just been appointed as the governor of Jingzhou and he has not yet established himself." Stable, and Yuan Shu covets Jingzhou, I'm afraid he won't be able to move at all. My master's plan of luring the snake out of its hole, just occupying one Hengyang, may not be successful." The generals were relieved. Huang Gai said: "My lord, it turns out that this is what I mean. Anyway, we can't get along well with Liu Biao in the future. How can we grab as much territory as we can now?"

Chen Long nodded and said: "First grab Hengyang, then Guiyang, just to test the bottom line of Liu Biao's patience. If he comes to fight, then fight him in front of Queen He. Of course I am not afraid; if he comes to fight, we will accompany him to the end. . Saving Liu Pan this time is a courtesy first and then fighting. I'm afraid Gu Jian will never have the chance to meet Liu Biao."

Hengyang is established, Zhao Yun has personally led two divisions of the Second Army to take over the defense of Hengyang, recruit surrender troops, appease the people, and promote Chen Long's virtues. The people of Hengyang gradually poured out of their residences and saw that Qinglong Junqiu had done nothing wrong. The markets and the docks slowly returned to their former prosperity.

Information from Changsha came like a snowflake, confirming that Su Dai was outside Changsha with 30,000 troops. The troops attacking Huangzhongyou County totaled more than 20,000 people, led by Su Dai's deputy Chen Wen. Huang Gai, Zhou Buyi, and Xi Zhicai had already made the next battle plan. With Chen Long's approval, the First Group Army boarded the ship again and rushed to their respective battlefields separately.

The first group army was divided into four parts. The first part was composed of 5,000 spearmen, 5,000 sword and shield soldiers, and 5,000 archers. It was led by Liu Yong, Liu Xian, and Liu Min. Xi Zhicai was the military advisor and went straight to the Liao family in Youshui. After disembarking in the bay, they assembled and raided the flank of Chen Wen's army. They attacked Huang Zhong from both inside and outside, attracting Chen Wen's main force to assemble.

The second part consisted of 5,000 cavalry, 5,000 sword and shield soldiers, and 5,000 spearmen. They were led by Huang Gai and disembarked at Liaojiawan. They ambush to the west of Chen Wen's camp in You County. When Huang Zhong's army came out, Chen Wen must know it. Huang Zhong fled, and a large group of troops pursued him. When Chen Wen came out, he stormed into the camp in one fell swoop. After mowing down the enemy, he quickly turned around and pursued Chen Wen. No matter whether Chen Wen returned to rescue the camp or continued to pursue Huang Zhong, he was attacked from both sides and could not move from head to tail. Take care of each other.

The third part consisted of 5,000 cavalry, led by Fu Tong, lying in ambush halfway. When Su Dai's camp was attacked and the army lost control, it rushed out from the flanks and penetrated the enemy's formation, dividing the enemy from head to tail and falling into chaos. At this time, three troops launched a strong attack at the same time, and Chen Wen was bound to be defeated.

The fourth part consists of the remaining 5,000 archers and 100 special forces, arriving at Jianning along the Xiang River, and quietly pouring into Luojiachong, the choke point of the land route between You County and Changsha at night. Zhou Cang led five thousand archers and hid on the cliffs on both sides of Luojiachong Mountain Road, waiting for Chen Wen's defeated troops to arrive.

Seeing that 5,000 archers were well ambush, Chen Long led Gan Ning, Hu Ji, Zu Lang and other 100-man special forces and headed straight to the outskirts of Changsha in the dark. The countryside was dark, with only the moonlight and stars visible. Hundreds of fine horses came to the edge of the jungle in the southern suburbs of Changsha like lightning. Chen Long saw a sliver of lights on the horizon and knew that the camp was not far away. He ordered his troops to dismount and rest temporarily, and the men and horses hid in the jungle.

Hu Ji led a team member, bypassed the gate of the village guarded by soldiers, and reached in through the gap in Lujiao Village. After a while, he came back with a knocked out tongue. It turned out that he happened to meet a man who went out of the tent to go to the toilet. He was knocked unconscious by Hu Ji and brought back. Chen Long ordered him to wake up.

Hu Ji took off the pants that had wet his tongue all over the crotch, and stuffed the wettest part into his mouth. The tongue was awakened by the smoke after a while. It was the first time in my life that I tasted the smell of my own urine. I opened my eyes wide and looked hard. I saw several big men with black charcoal on their faces standing in front of me. I was so scared that I closed my eyes again.

Hu Ji frightened him a few words in his ear, then pulled open his smelly pants. Chen Long pulled out a serrated dagger and asked, "Where is Su Dai's camp?"

The tongue quickly revealed the location of the general's tent, begging for his life. Chen Long asked about the frequency of patrols in the camp and the status of the guards at Su Dai's tent, and ordered people to put Tongue under guard. Su Dai's camp was located in the center of the entire camp, and dozens of guards were gathered. No matter which direction he approached, he had to face at least three to five guards.

Chen Long thought for a moment and said to Gan Ning: "If an assassin is discovered outside the tent, do you think Su Dai will come out of the tent to attack or escape from the other direction?"

Gan Ning's black face came close to him and was almost invisible in the dark night. Only his two shining eyes and a row of white teeth were floating in the air, which was very scary. After thinking for a while, he said, "Su Dai's martial arts skills are not outstanding. He probably doesn't have much confidence in going out to kill assassins, so he will probably run away." Chen Long nodded and said, "Then there is a way. But we still need to get some of the opponent's military uniforms."

Being invisible has been the focus of special forces training for many years. Chen Long missed the night vision equipment and sniper rifles of later generations, but in this barbaric era of cold weapons, he could only get close and assassinate. Hu Ji examined his words for another long time before he figured out that the Soviet army's troops were derived from militiamen from various places. They did not have unified military uniforms at all. At night, they only had a white cloth wrapped around their arms to distinguish ourselves from the enemy.

Hu Ji entered the camp again and soon stole a lot of white cloth, which everyone tied up on their arms. Chen Long ordered: "Hu Ji led the first group of twenty people to ambush in the shadows east of Su Dai's tent. When he heard the cuckoo singing, he immediately exposed his whereabouts and pretended to attack the tent, attracting the attention of the defenders. Don't be reluctant to fight and evacuate quickly.

"Gan Ning led 20 people to ambush in the shadows to the north of the big tent; Zu Lang led 20 people to ambush in the shadows to the south of the big tent; the rest follow me and ambush to the west of the big tent. Any team, look When someone guards the general and escapes from the tent, set up an assassin and evacuate quickly. If Su Dai comes out from the east to pursue the assassin, the north and south groups need to attack at the same time to cover the east group's escape. Whichever group succeeds, use the night owl's cry The sound is a signal and we evacuate at the same time. If we are surrounded, we will break into pieces, quickly use white cloth to disguise ourselves, and escape individually. Finally, everyone will return here to meet up before dawn. If there are still people including me who have not returned before dawn, The people here cannot wait any longer and must all withdraw to Luojiachong."

The generals left with their respective team members, and Chen Long quickly disappeared into the darkness with his team members. Su Dai is most likely to escape from his own direction. As long as he can see clearly, he will succeed.

The fence of Su Dai's camp was full of loopholes, and the number of soldiers responsible for patrols was very sparse. It was obvious that there was a lack of training and unified dispatch. Chen Long's team members used the shadow of the camp to silently enter the planned ambush site. From a distance, they saw Su Dai's tent with bright torches and surrounded by soldiers. Chen Long calculated the moment, pursed his lips and shouted: "Cuckoo, cuckoo..."

Several shouts erupted from the east side of Su Dai's tent, and the sound of swords clashing was heard, faintly mixed with the shouts of assassins. The guards on the west side drew their swords in response and turned to the east to fight. At the same time, the tent The lights inside lit up, and a large opening was opened in the tarpaulin on the west side of the big tent with a dagger. Several figures emerged one after another and quickly ran towards the west tent.

Chen Long saw a person in the middle, wearing only underwear and underwear under the torch. He was guarded by several guards and ran to the tent where he was invisible. With a wave of his hand, Shi Shiran took the lead and walked out of the tent. Dozens of team members rushed out, arms They were all tied up with dazzling white cloth.

The guards couldn't see clearly in the dark and thought they were his own soldiers. Su Dai shouted: "You all go over there and search for the assassins. If you catch them, they will be killed without mercy."

Chen Long responded: "Yes, kill without mercy!" Su Dai's words stopped abruptly as he swallowed the saw-tooth dagger. He looked at the blood spurting out of his chest in shock, his eyes quickly rolled up, and he fell to the ground. Several guards also died in the blink of an eye due to the precise killing techniques of the surrounding team members.

The nearby tents heard movement, and voices gradually came out. Chen Long quickly chopped off Su Dai's head, and then let out a night owl's scream. The team members lined up and quickly walked to the east. Groups of soldiers with weapons rushed out from each tent and ran wildly towards the central tent. Chen Long's team passed through the chaotic crowd and knocked down several big soldiers. The soldiers who asked questions at the camp gate disappeared into the darkness outside the camp.
