Outside Qutang Gorge.
Ling Tong looked at the three large ships across the mouth of the gorge, unable to move forward or retreat. At this time, Quan Cong was still dreaming about capturing Yong'an in the army camp. He was originally a navy general and felt numb at the moment. , I have not thought about the strategy of directly rushing forward to ram and sink these three giant building ships with the huge damage of nine three-bow crossbows. Once they rush to the mouth of the gorge, they will It was raining arrows from the mountain passes on both sides. If the stone was thrown from a distance, it seemed that the firepower was still not as strong as the other party. If it was hit hard, I was afraid that all the family assets that I had raised for decades would be buried here.
When Ling Tong was in a dilemma, he suddenly heard loud singing from the south, mixed with the sadness and sorrow of Wu Yin's return home. It seemed that the songs of countless people of Emperor Wu were lingering in his ears. He secretly thought that something was wrong, so he quickly looked at the soldiers on each iron-masked ghost. , many soldiers have begun to have tears in their eyes.
"MD, Lao Liu!" Ling Tong cursed angrily. This situation is no longer a problem that Lao Liu can solve, because accompanied by the singing, five large ships with the same size as the Dingyuan came into view. Instead, it really branched off along the south side. There was only one possibility for coming from here, either Sun Huan died in battle or Yidu was lost.
But I saw Zong Yu on the Qilin, standing in front of the deck, raising his hands and saying loudly: "General Ling! My governor pities the general's talents and cannot bear the pain to kill him. Today he has specially ordered me to persuade the general to surrender!"
Ling Tong cursed angrily: "Bah! I, Ling Tong, would rather die at the bottom of the river than do this thing of betraying the Lord and seeking glory!"
Zong Yu continued to shout: "General Ling, don't you know that those who understand current affairs are heroes! What achievements can you make by following such a lord who will not even let you avenge his father's murder! My governor said that if you are willing to surrender, There must be a title of lord, and when the time comes to conquer the south of the Yangtze River, the general will be the number one hero!"
Zong Yu waited for Ling Tong's response on the Qilin, but never got any words from Ling Tong. At that moment, his heart was shocked, and he thought about pursuing the victory: "General Ling! You are a navy general, but this kind of battle is unexpected. Instead of using you as the vanguard, but using incompetent people like Quan Cong to control the general, can the general be content to succumb to a drunken relative of the emperor? Is it possible that the general of the Soochow Navy, General Ling, who is running rampant on the left side of the Yangtze River, only deserves a partial general? Is General Ling really willing to take the position? "
Ling Tong was still speechless. Although there was no Jiang Feng, he still couldn't see his face. Zong Yu felt more and more proud and continued to chase: "In the past, Gan Ning was a Jiang thief who plundered Jiangxia. He desecrated the people, raped, robbed, and committed all kinds of evil. As a general in Jiangxia, he shot your father to death. The people of Jiangxia were willing to live and eat his flesh. Didn’t the general miss his father for a day? What’s even more ridiculous is that your lord actually stopped the general from taking revenge. Such a lord, General Ling, how can your father’s spirit rest in heaven!”
"That's enough!" Ling Tong really couldn't listen anymore. The soldiers around him had already seen the tears on Ling Tong's face and his lips that were almost bleeding.
"How can you judge the lord I am following? As for my revenge for killing my father, you don't have to worry about it! Although I, Ling Tong, am only a partial general, I still have more than twenty iron-faced ships. "Luchuan, if I want to break out of the siege, you can't stop me! Don't worry about your commander-in-chief worrying about my life or death!" Ling Tong said sternly.
"As for you saying that those who know the current affairs are heroes, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Han Dynasty should have perished long ago! Only you and the so-called Han soldiers are struggling in vain, even if..." Ling Tong suddenly choked up, "Even if I can't break out of the siege, it would be better than dying in the general's camp!"
Zong Yu lamented: "General Ling, why bother?"
"Everyone has his own ambitions! Let me tell you, Governor, that if Ling Tong dies, he will be worthy of the people of Jiangdong, and even more worthy of your majesty. But if Ling Tong surrenders today, he will not only be unfilial as a son, but even more unfaithful as a minister! If Ling Tong can be taken with him today Jiangdong Jian'er broke out of this dragnet, don't blame me, Ling Tong, for laughing at your governor for the rest of his life!" After Ling Tong said this, he laughed and immediately calmed down. Shouted loudly: "Jiangdong athletes! Now our army's return route to the south has been cut off by Li Thief! The only way to survive is the mouth of the gorge to the east! As long as we break out of the gorge, we can go back alive!"
"General... How about we surrender... We all want to go home..." Ling Tong stared at the deputy general who was speaking with his eyes wide open. He was furious and raised his hands. The long sword slashed down, and blood flowed out in an instant. Ling Tong didn't care about the blood splashing on his face, and shouted loudly: "Anyone who dares to surrender again, there is such a person! Rush back, general!"
Zong Yu let out a long sigh and said hello. The three large ships had already begun to throw stones at Ling Tong's iron-masked ghost, while the remaining two were still humming Wu songs behind them. They were on the Yangtze River, between the Qutang Gorge. To the west and east of Kuimen Water Village, a massive water battle second only to the Battle of Chibi began...
...
Wu Jun's army camped in Dazhai.
"Report! Governor, Li Xianxin's envoy is here!"
Quan Cong smiled and asked the generals around him, "Is it possible that Li Xian was afraid and came to beg for surrender?" The generals laughed loudly when they heard this.
When Quan Cong opened the two wooden boxes and letters, his expression suddenly changed, he felt the world was spinning, and he suddenly collapsed on the commander's seat. Ma Zhong hurriedly stepped forward and saw the heads of Xie Jing and Li Yi inside the wooden boxes. Level, then looked at the letter paper. There were four big characters written on it: "crossing the river in white clothes".
Ma Zhong also exclaimed and said: "It's broken! Commander, our way back to the south has been blocked! What should we do!"
Suddenly, the laughing military camp suddenly entered a freezing state, but Quan Cong said: "Don't panic, if our army wants to retreat, we can go through Qutang Gorge and retreat to Jiangling, and then enter Wu from Jiangxia."
"Report! General Ling Tong has urgently reported that Shu general Luo Xian has locked up the mouth of Qutang Gorge with three ships. Our army cannot advance or retreat. I hope the governor will make a decision soon!"
"What! Thief Li!" Quan Cong was really angry this time and punched the table hard, "I, Quan Cong, are irreconcilable with you! We are irreconcilable!"
After Quan Cong lost his temper, he was shocked and asked: "Ma Zhong, did Lu Xun tell you anything before he left?"
Ma Zhong was a little confused by the question, but he realized it later. He was afraid that Quan Cong knew that he was not as good as Lu Xun, so he asked for advice, so he stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "To inform the governor, before General Boyan leaves, I will only let me Don’t cut off contact with Xi Zuo in Yong’an City.”
Quan Cong's eyes lit up, and he seemed to be energetic again, and immediately said: "Hurry up and present it!"
...
In Yongan City.
"I, Xu Zhi, don't care! As long as my general tells me to obey your orders, I will obey! You can hit wherever you tell me. I don't understand the other twists and turns, so I will be responsible for killing people." While eating, he replied to Li Yan.
Li Yan was very happy and felt that Xu Zhi was a little cute. He nodded instantly: "General Xu is so angry. I'll give you a toast to the general!"
Xu Zhi also raised his glass and drank it down in one gulp, and asked: "By the way, is Wang Rui okay? He makes our general very angry."
Li Yan shook his head and said: "That kid keeps clamoring to go to the battlefield every day. In fact, he can't run yet, but he can get out of bed."
Xu Zhi nodded: "Both he and Fu Qian are difficult masters, especially that Fu Qian. Hey, I won't mention it anymore." Xu Zhi subconsciously touched his eye sockets and started to eat again. .
It's night, at Li Yan's house.
The gradually rising autumn wind seemed to be really chilly, so Li Yan had to take a walk in the courtyard. Li Feng quickly stepped forward and put a cloak on Li Yan and said, "Dad, how did you know that Quan Cong would definitely come to contact you?"
Li Yan shook his head and said, "Because he has no choice."
"But daddy, is this strategy too vicious? I'm afraid..."
"What are you afraid of?" Li Yan asked.
Li Feng hurriedly said: "I'm afraid that my father's reputation as a gentleman and benevolent person will be ruined. In the past, when my father was in Jiangzhou, he made the people cold, hungry, fed, and repaired water canals. Even in the years of severe drought and disaster, there was nothing." The scene of starving people everywhere, if this plan succeeds now, there will be more than 10,000 casualties, and under this Yongan City..."
Li Yan really smiled when he heard this: "Hey, Feng'er, everyone knows that I, Li Yan, have selfish motives, but my selfish motives are not just for a fool like you. Think about how many athletes are fighting to the death in the front. If I, Li Yan, For this little reputation, I ruined the Governor's plan, and if Your Majesty takes the blame, neither of us, father and son, can escape."
"But His Majesty has a reputation as a benevolent king. If he really attacks the city in this battle, I'm afraid... I'm afraid that future history books will write him down as a tyrant?"
"Nonsense! Fortunately, there are only you and me, father and son, here. Your Majesty makes your own decisions. Although I, Li Yan, am not often on the front line, I feel like a father, and Li Xian's tactics are becoming more and more like the same person. "
"who?"
"Han Xin." Li Yan only said two words briefly, and Li Feng was stunned for a moment.
Li Feng said: "If Li Xian is really Han Xin given to His Majesty by God, wouldn't it be that these 100,000 Wu troops have no way out?"
Li Yan was silent and just nodded. He was so frightened that Li Feng's face turned pale. After a while, he said: "Dad...Dad...is this Li Xian so cruel?"
"He never wanted to give these 70,000 people a way to survive from the beginning." Li Yan continued.
"But the Prime Minister has always wanted to unite Wu to fight against Cao. Now if all these 100,000 people are taken..."
Li Yan just nodded slightly: "It is true to unite Wu against Cao, but it depends on what kind of Wu country you are uniting with. What Li Xian wants is the deposed Wu country, not a Wu country that can steal your retreat at any time. "
It took Li Feng a long time to recover, but then he heard Li Yan say: "Li Xian and Prime Minister are both unparalleled talents. If you are born in this era, you should watch and study hard. One victory in this battle will be better than shutting up on you." I have been studying for ten years."
Li Feng nodded and said, "I will send General Li Xian's military map to the Prime Minister tomorrow!"
"Go ahead and be careful on the road!"
