Fang Tian's painting halberd stopped in mid-air.
The blade shines with a cold light, as stable as a mountain.
The rain slid down the blade and then fell on Han Guo's face.
On Han Guo's cheek, a red mark was gradually exposed, as if he had been really cut.
Lu Bu narrowed his eyes, first looked around, there were no other figures, and then looked at the half-parted sword raised by Han Guo.
"Well..." Lu Bu put away Fang Tian's painting halberd, and his surging momentum suddenly stopped. He said slowly, as if he was evaluating, as if he was praising, "I still look like a man."
Han Guo obviously could not beat Lu Bu, but even so, Han Guo still did not retreat at all. Even in the end, he fought hard. This was somewhat in line with Lu Bu's wishes. It felt that being challenged by Han Guo like this was not an insult.
Since it is not considered an insult, there is no need to kill Han.
『Go back and keep it for a month or two, and practice it well!』 Lu Bu danced Fang Tian Hua Ji, squeezed the rain above his head away, and then held it behind his back, 『I won't hold back next time...』
"Major Protector...you won't be next time..." Han Guo's arm softened, and half of the sword fell to the ground, making a jingle sound, "No more..."
Lu Bu snorted, ignored Han Guo, and then turned around and walked into the hall.
Han Guo lay down on the ground, but he didn't have the strength to stand up yet.
It was harder to persuade Lu Bu than he thought.
Just as Lu Bu was about to enter the hall, Han Guo suddenly had an inspiration in his heart, and he tried hard to raise his head and shouted at Lu Bu's back, "Major Protector! I am Li Changshi's disciple!"
Lu Bu's figure seemed to pause for a moment, but it seemed that there was no such thing as he went straight into the hall.
"Ah..." Han Guo exhaled, his eyes turned to the dark clouds that seemed to be above his head. The rain in the dark clouds seemed to mock Han Guo for being overestimated, and stepped on Han Guo's face unscrupulously.
After the danger disappeared, the pain in his body returned to Han Guo. He felt that his hands seemed to be broken, and even now it was still trembling slightly, making it difficult to move for a while.
Just when Han Guo didn't know how long he would be lying on the ground, a figure suddenly shaking in front of him.
The guard Lu Bu, who was originally in the hall, walked up and helped Han Guo up, and then carried him to the side room.
Then a servant came up, untie Han Guo's stomach, helped him dry the rainwater on his body, and brought a bowl of hot ginger soup.
After drinking the hot ginger soup, Han Guo felt that he had more energy on his body.
The doctor came to see Han Guo's hands, applied medicine to him, put on bandages, and told him not to touch water, nor to extract heavy objects, and not to fight again. He would have to keep it for at least ten days and half a month.
Fortunately, Han Guo took a breath. He originally thought that his hands were going to be ruined, at least there was a problem with his bones, but now the doctor said that his bones were fine, which means that Lu Bu really kept his hand just now?
"Han is engaged," Seeing that Han Guo was basically cleaned up, Lu Bu's guard stepped forward and bowed, "The Protector is welcome."
No matter whether he is on the battlefield or not, he dares to challenge Lu Bu head-on, and not many people can survive. Therefore, Han Guo's move has more or less admired the soldiers.
Han Guo was a little surprised, but he soon followed the guard to the hall.
Lu Bu obviously changed his robe that was soaked in the rain early and was sitting in the hall. When he saw Han Guo coming, he looked at him in a slanting manner, raised his chin slightly, and signaled Han Guo to sit down.
"You are... Li Changshi's disciple?" Lu Bu glanced at Han Guo, "Why have you never heard him say it?"
Han Guo smiled, but the pain on his body made his smile a little strange. "Master left a part of his book for me... But he seemed unwilling to admit me as a disciple..."
Lu Bu's eyes were slightly cold, "Why?"
"It's probably because the master is afraid of implicating me..." Han Guo sighed, "Master has been thinking about others all his life...but he thinks very little about himself..."
"Implication?" Lu Bu frowned, then pondered without saying a word, but the coldness between his eyebrows and eyes had subsided.
After a while, Lu Bu looked at Han Guo and said, "Is Wen Yuan asked you to come?"
Han Guo shook his head, "General Wen Yuan originally told me not to come, because I wanted to come to see the Protectorate myself."
Lu Bu was silent for a while, "Now you see... just say whatever you have."
『…』 Han Guo didn’t say anything immediately, it seemed to be reorganizing the language. After Han Guo fought with Lu Bu, Han Guo also seemed to have a new understanding of Lu Bu. Han Guo didn’t plan to say anything about the original allusions, just wanted to talk about Han Guo himself, “I originally had a Marquis… The Marquis of Xinfeng… The Protector should know this, right?”
"Originally there was "Marquis of Xinfeng?" Lu Bu raised his eyebrows slightly, "What about now? The cavalry has deprived you of your title?"
Han Guo smiled, "No, the lord originally asked me to keep this title, but I personally handed over the seal to the lord."
"Why?" Lu Bu asked.
Han Guo raised his head slightly, his eyes slightly wandering, as if he remembered something, "I was originally an orphan... Before being adopted by my master, I was like a wild dog, wandering around Guanzhong, digging food in the pile of dead people, and living in the deserted villages... Then the master found me, took me, and some other children... Then I put on human robes again and started eating human food...
Lu Bu listened silently, without interrupting or expressing any words.
"Later I realized that my master asked me to gather with other children to choose his heirs for my father." Han Guo nodded and said, "That's right, my father went to Han and made an appointment... I inherited his title and inherited his regret... It's interesting to say that my father thought he wanted to change it at the time of his death, but gave me this name...
"My father didn't like me at first..." Han Guo still smiled, but there was a little bitterness on his face. "Or, my father didn't like anyone at first... It was not until my father took out the seal of Xinfeng Hou before he died that I realized that my father was not hating us, but hating himself..."
Han Guo said slowly, "My father said that his original idea was to stand up for the poor people of Xiliang, talk, and change the poverty of Xiliang all the time... But he said that he did not expect that he would forget what his original wish was later... He said that in order to obtain the title of Marquis, he lost his children, relatives, friends, and everything around him, and in the end he was the seal of the Marquis of Xinfeng...
"My father said he didn't want the seal of the Xinfeng Marquis to accompany him to the underworld... So my father gave me the seal of the Xinfeng Marquis... and then I returned the seal to my lord." Han Guo looked at Lu Bu and said, "The same is true for Master... Master is obviously talented and full of scriptures, but he is unwilling to establish any inheritance, and even he doesn't want me to claim to be his disciple... They already understand what they need and what they don't need. My father understood the latest, and he only understood before his death. My master was better. At least when Master was traveling west, I think Master was relieved at that time..."
Han Guo's eyes were on Lu Bu, "I used to think about how to persuade Dadu Protector, but now... the only one who can persuade Dadu Protector is Dadu Protector yourself."
Lu Bu frowned deeply.
Han Guo stood up, raised his arm and bowed, "Daduo Protector, my master once said that there are eight out of ten people who are not satisfied in this world. In a lifetime, the most difficult thing to find is peace of mind. Today, I will give this to the Protector... There are still many things to deal with in the city, so I won't spend much time with Daduo Protector. I will say goodbye."
『…』
Lu Bu seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
It was raining heavily.
The world is in chaos.
…╭(╯^╰)╮…
Huang Gai ignored Gan Ning's one-on-one invitation.
In fact, Zhu Huan had already set out in advance long before Huang Gai set out, but Zhu Huan was taking another path.
A land route from Wuling area to Yidao.
It is not easier to walk on land than on water, so Zhu Huan can't move faster.
The reason why we have to go through the two lines of water and land is that Jiangdong cannot afford to lose now and must be cautious. This caution is not only for Cao Cao to be cautious, but also for Fei Qian to be cautious. Everyone knows whether it is better to fight, it is best to solve it as soon as possible. However, most wars in the era of cold weapons require caution, and they cannot communicate in time, and they do not know where friends are...
Huang Gai only started to take action after receiving the news that Zhu Huan had arrived at the place.
So in this case, Huang Gai is Duoben's head, so he will give up the current situation of having the advantage and fight Gan Ning alone?
Even the stupidest drama, I don’t dare to shoot like this now.
Seeing that Huang Gai was not in a fight, Gan Ning jumped in a hurry, and then mocked Huang Gai for being timid, trying to boost his morale and attack the soldiers in Jiangdong, but the effect was obviously very average.
Just as Gan Ning was still struggling to resist, Zhu Huan arrived on land.
This is almost the same as the last straw, which quickly overwhelmed the fighting spirit of the Sichuan and Sichuan navy.
With almost no effort, Zhu Huan entered the water camp established by Gan Ning on Yidao. He was about to kill Gan Ning and surrounded Gan Ning with Huang Gai.
In the chaos, Gan Ning didn't know how much Jiangdong army had arrived, but he knew that on the water surface, there were enemies everywhere on the land, and flags were flying. Whether it was in the water camp or the soldiers on the boats, he was panicked...
After all, if you can't get ambushed, you're ambushed, and the psychological gap is not something that ordinary people can bear.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Gan Ning urgently ordered a retreat.
At this time, the immaturity of the Sichuan and Sichuan naval army was fully demonstrated. They fought each other, but because boats turned ten times more difficult than war horses, they collided with each other, squeezed each other, injured and died, and fell into the water.
If the number of casualties during the entire battle is made into a chart, then the casualties curve is actually relatively flat from the beginning to the end, and the angle of climbing is not very large. Until the order to retreat is issued, it will suddenly rise up and soar into the sky.
Huang Gai was still very cautious. After chasing for a while, he gathered his soldiers and stationed in Yidao.
After Gan Ning retreated, 100% of his troops were lost, and it was a huge blow to Gan Ning personally, so that after he got off the boat, he became more and more angry. He felt that his face had been lost. He was angry and pulled out his knife to chop down a small tree by the roadside. This was not enough to relieve his anger. He went up and kicked it twice again, kicking the remaining half of the tree trunk down.
Gan Ning would have to be fined at least tens of thousands of yuan in future generations for such acts of destroying the country's vegetation.
Zhuge Liang looked at it from a distance and didn't say anything, but felt a little regretful. He was not regretting the small tree, but regretting the broken soldiers. Zhuge Liang originally thought that Gan Ning could hold on to the Yidao for a period of time, and even if he was attacked, he could withstand a few days. However, Zhuge Liang really didn't expect that in less than a day, the Yidao Water Village fell, which made all the follow-up methods that Zhuge Liang had prepared were wasted.
Seeing Zhuge Liang standing in the distance with a blank expression on his face, Gan Ning was somewhat embarrassed and put away the knife. When he got closer to Zhuge Liang, he smiled silly, but he didn't know what to say.
"Thank you for your hard work, General Gan." Zhuge Liang said politely, "I am going to retreat, and I need to make a new plan with General Xu Gongming."
In the original plan, Wang Shuang pretended to be defeated, and then Gan Ning ambushed and gave the Jiangdong Army a head-on attack. On the one hand, he could first train the Sichuan and Shu navy, so that the Sichuan and Shu navy could grow in actual combat. On the other hand, he could also slow down the speed of the Jiangdong Navy's advance. When the Jiangdong Navy marched in a large scale, he would give up the Yidao and burn a fire.
As a result, now we are all left to retreat.
Although the morale of the Sichuan and Shu naval army is not completely destroyed, it is not much better. It is not impossible to force the offensive, but it is just too much demand. The most important thing is that it is unnecessary. So Zhuge Liang simply expressed his retreat and gathered with Xu Huang.
Gan Ning was a little unwilling to give up, but there was no way. Who made him feel a little careless before? He was so arrogant that he felt that I was the best in the world. As a result, he suffered a loss in front of Huang Gai. He could only grind his teeth hard and put Huang Gai's name under his knife, swearing to use Huang Gai's blood to wash away his shame this time.
After the Sichuan and Shu army retreated, Huang Gai and Zhu Huan began to clean up the battlefield.
Gan Ning brought many supplies in Yidao Water Village, which naturally became the spoils of the Jiangdong Army. There were more than 20 ships of all sizes and large, and more than 1,000 prisoners, nearly half of which were wounded. Huang Gai did not keep these prisoners, and he formed one of them to fall behind, escorted these Sichuan and Shu naval prisoners onto the ship, turned around and headed to Jiangling.
The Cao army in Jiangling was thinking about the progress of the Jiangdong army. After all, they were staring at Huang Gai all the way west, so the Jiangdong army would inevitably have a battle with the Sichuan and Shu army and were deducing the subsequent development situation. As a result, they received the "gift" from the "allies", these captured Sichuan and Shu army soldiers.
Huang Gai's envoy handed over all the prisoners of the Sichuan and Shu army to Cao's army for disposal. Although it was a bit like killing people with a knife, it also made Cao Zhen in Jiangling widen his eyes.
Although there is no need to say that the advantage of 18,000 naval troops against the four or five thousand naval troops in Yidao is naturally high, it won a great victory in such a short time, and it can even be said that the Sichuan and Shu naval troops in Yidao were all defeated by Cao Zhen.
Is it that Jiangdong's navy is too strong?
Or are the navy in Sichuan and Shu too weak?
But no matter what it says, Cao Zhen has a new understanding of the current situation.
Jiangling is located in the south of Xiangyang, as the barrier to the south of Xiangyang, and it means the same as the name itself, half of the water and half of the mountains. When Jiangdong and Cao Cao were competing for Jiangling, most of the fortifications and buildings here were destroyed. Although it was repaired for a certain amount of time, it was somewhat different from the original ones.
Overall, if Jiangling is not lost, then Xiangyang will not be at risk of coming from the south. For safety reasons, Cao Ren dropped Cao Zhen and took charge of Jiangling. He ruled Cao's army to control Xiangyang to the greatest extent possible to prevent the Jiangdong army from causing any false tricks.
Regardless of how the Jiangdong Army defeated it, Yidao was indeed taken by Jiangdong, and there were so many prisoners that were not fake, so Cao Zhen immediately sent someone to Xu County to report...
The Jiangdong Army mastered the Yidao, but the roads in front of them became two. The roads to the north were relatively common. When Liu Bei entered Sichuan from Jiangling and Liu Biao's troops in Jingzhou, he went upstream to reach Yufu. The other one was only half of the waterway, and the other half had to cross mountains and ridges to enter Sichuan.
The two roads, the north is easier to walk, and then it is extremely dangerous in the fishing land, and the river surface becomes narrower and narrower as it goes backwards. Even if there are 100,000 naval troops, they cannot spread out at all, and can only move forward with a long snake formation.
The main problem of the road to the south is that it is on the mountain road. When the Jiangdong Navy gets off the boat, it will be 20% off for combat effectiveness, and then climbs mountains and crosses. I am afraid that it is not only less than half of its original combat effectiveness.
Huang Gai's opinion is to continue to follow the water path and gradually advance.
Zhu Huan's idea was to try walking on the mountain road, because that's how he walked through it before.
Huang Gai stared at Zhu Huan, and Zhu Huan stared at Huang Gai. The two of them did not show any tacit understanding and friendship that had been cultivated in the Wuling area before.
In fact, Huang Gai knew why Zhu Huan chose to walk on the mountain road, and Zhu Huan also knew why he wanted to walk on the water road, but the reasons why the two of them hid were not revealed...
Simply put, Huang Gai is a veteran and Zhu Huan is a newcomer.
The friendship and tacit understanding between the two cannot fill the original huge gap between them. At most, one or two bridges can only be built on the trenches.
