Lu Xun smiled disapprovingly, "General Xu, I have told you many times that the battlefield situation is changing rapidly and any emergencies will happen. What's more, we have encountered a cunning enemy general like Li Jun, so we have to be careful. "
"Xu Kai listens to the order!" Lu Xun suddenly shouted.
Xu Kai strode forward and bowed to Lu Xun, "The general is here!"
"I will continue to give you three thousand Jiefan troops, responsible for destroying the Ximen Shu army and capturing Ximen."
"General, take your orders!" Xu Kai responded loudly and went down to the tower with the dark spear in his hand.
"Xu Kai, you failed to recapture Ximen before. I know you did it because you rescued Zhou Yin. There are extenuating circumstances, so I will not hold you responsible. I believe in your ability. Ximen will be entrusted to you. Can Yiling City Whether you can hold it or not depends entirely on whether you can successfully seize the west gate, remember?" Lu Xun looked at Xu Kai with a hint of expectation.
Xu Kai was so flattered that he quickly replied, "I will remember this, and I will certainly live up to the expectations of the Commander-in-Chief."
"Okay, let's go!" Lu Xun smiled lightly.
"Yes, Grand Governor, just wait for my good news." Xu Kai bowed respectfully to Lu Xun. Then he strode down the tower with a spear in hand.
"Han must obey the order!" Lu Xun continued to shout in a deep voice.
The great governor is here! "Han Dang looked solemn and walked out.
"I will give you two thousand soldiers to destroy the Shu army at the east gate and recapture the east gate."
"Remember, there are not many Shu troops in the city, so there is nothing to worry about. Your first task is to recapture the west gate. As long as the east gate is recaptured, these Shu troops are just catching turtles in a urn and have nowhere to go. You can just send troops to encircle and suppress them."
"General, take your orders!" Han Dang's thick eyebrows were raised with a hint of joy. After answering happily, he quickly left.
"Since our troops in Yiling City are stretched thin, two generals, Xu Kai and Han Dang, have already led five thousand troops each. The remaining troops have to guard the south gate to resist Liu Bei's siege army. There are no more troops to send. Retake the North Gate, so I decided to send the troops in Yiling City to recapture the North Gate." Lu Xun frowned and thought for a moment, then ordered to a captain next to him, "Pass my order and order the troops to be in trouble. Chen Wei, gather his elite troops to recapture the North Gate."
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief." Captain Wu took the order and left.
"Grand Governor, Chen Wei of the Dingnan Army has an eccentric temperament, is arrogant, extremely selfish, and difficult to control. Will he fight the Shu army wholeheartedly?" Zhuge Jin looked doubtful, stroking his long beard. .
"Tzuyu, don't worry. No matter how difficult it is to control Chen Wei, he is still my general of Wu. If he doesn't listen to my orders, he will be disobeying the military order and treasonous to the country. I can send troops to kill him." A hint of coldness escaped from the corner of Lu Xun's mouth.
"But..." Zhuge Jin still had doubts.
After all, the Dingnan Army is a private armed branch of the Chen family, a powerful family in Yiling City. Although it is a militia, its weapons and equipment are almost the same as those of the current Soochow regular army, and its combat power, after training by the Chen family, has caught up with the Wu army.
Therefore, the strength of the Dingnan Army should not be underestimated.
Today's Dingnan Army is like an untamable wild wolf in Soochow.
If you cannot control the Difficult Army, you will be devoured by it.
This is Zhuge Jin's concern.
…
Yiling City is on the right side of Yishui River.
There is a mansion standing majestically among them.
There is a black lacquer plaque above a tall red door, with the word "Chen Mansion" written in hot golden font, indicating the mansion's prominent status, and the handwriting is also impressive.
Inside the mansion,
High-rise pavilions, surrounded by pools of water, the scenery is pleasant.
A middle-aged man wearing black clothes stood in the stone pavilion.
This middle-aged man's thick eyebrows were raised, his eyes were as dark as abyss, but there was a hidden light.
He stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at the quiet pool outside the pavilion, thoughtfully.
At this time.
A young man wearing Mingguang armor walked into the pavilion quickly with an anxious look on his face.
"Father!" The armored young man bowed slightly and bowed respectfully to the middle-aged man.
"What's the matter?" The middle-aged man turned around and asked lightly.
"Just now, Lu Xun sent someone over to convey the order, ordering my father to lead the elite of our disaster relief army to set off to seize the North Gate."
The young man raised his forehead with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
It turns out that this middle-aged man is Chen Wei, the leader of the Dingnan Army, and the young man next to him is his eldest son Chen Qing. He has been fond of practicing martial arts since he was a child and has strong martial arts skills. He previously joined the Jiefan Army as a captain, and later The Dingnan Army was established, and he immediately became a deputy commander next to Chen Wei.
Chen Qing had always wanted to make great achievements, and now Lu Xun sent people to deliver the order to attack and take back the North Gate. He knew that his opportunity had come, so he very much hoped that his father would agree.
"It seems that our incomparable Lu Xun has met his match." Chen Wei snorted coldly.
"Why did father say that? Please clarify, father." Chen Qingjian frowned, showing doubts.
"In the Battle of Yiling, the fire attack sneaked into Liu Bei's camp. We were sure of victory. However, the sky did not want it. It rained heavily. The fire attack failed. The Shu army counterattacked. They lost several Yidao strongholds one after another, and finally retreated to Yiling City. , now, the Shu army has broken through the west gate, north gate, and east gate, leaving only the south gate tower still in Lu Xun's hands. Liu Bei's army is attacking the city outside the city, and Yiling City is in danger and may be attacked by the Shu army at any time." Chen Wei sneered.
"I heard that a young general named Li Jun suddenly appeared among the Shu army. This man was powerful in martial arts and had great marksmanship. Not only did he defeat Sun Huan, but he also killed Sun Huan with one arrow, and then defeated Xu. Sheng, a veteran general, was disgraced and fled back to Yiling in embarrassment. I guess the fact that the three gates of Yiling City were breached by the Shu army was also his work."
"This Li Jun is so powerful. I would like to go out and meet him for a while to see what he is like." Chen Qing's eyes flashed.
"Qing'er, please pass my order to the Dingnan Army Camp, gather two thousand soldiers from the Tiger Guard Camp, and set off immediately to the north gate." Chen Wei's face was extremely cold, and he suddenly waved his sleeves with an imposing manner.
"Yes, father!" Chen Qing frowned with joy and bowed to Chen Wei. He was about to turn around and leave when he heard Chen Wei's words again, "Did your sister, Sanniang, sneak out of the house again?"
Chen Qing's expression changed, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, "How did father know?"
"Why do you think Sanniang is safe and sound when she sneaks out all the time?" Chen Wei showed a kind and friendly smile.
"Could it be?" Chen Qing was shocked and suddenly realized, "Could it be that his father sent someone to secretly protect Sanniang?"
"Exactly!" Chen Wei nodded slightly, "Now that the two countries Wu and Shu are at war, the war is in chaos. How can my father rest assured that her master and servant are outside? For her safety, I can only send people to protect her secretly."
"Father, if that's the case, why don't you ban her from leaving the house?" Chen Qing asked in confusion.
