"Prepare to hand it over to your father-in-law!" Gao Fei replied.
"No! Guan Yu has superb swordsmanship. The last time he fought with me, he didn't seem to have used all his strength. My father-in-law is already old and Guan Yu is in his prime. How can I let my father-in-law take such a risk? I sincerely ask the emperor to take back his order. I am willing.
Fight Guan Yu again!" Zhao Yun is already a man with a family. There is no doubt that he married Huang Wudie. The women's army in the past only existed for a while. Now almost all of them are mothers and wives, so they rarely appear in public.
.
Besides, women of that era were different from modern women. Once they got married, they would basically stay at home to support their husbands and raise children. The times had shaped them, but they could not break through the shackles of the times. Although Gao Fei always preached about boyfriend and girlfriend, in real life
In China, men are superior to women, which has always been a commonplace issue. In the deep-rooted old concept, it will not change even after a long period of time and the background of the times.
"Zilong, don't you think you underestimate your father-in-law too much? I thought General Hu Lie was no less than Guan Yu."
"If it doesn't work, it won't work. My father-in-law is very old. If something goes wrong, I... I'd rather come and fight Guan Yu. Fight Guan Yu first, then fight Zhang Fei..."
"Huh!" Suddenly, a dull voice came from outside. Huang Zhong walked in dressed in a smart outfit. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted: "You underestimate your Huang!"
When Zhao Yun heard this voice, he was startled. He turned around and saw Huang Zhong walking in, and hurriedly said: "Father-in-law, son-in-law..."
"I don't have a son-in-law like you!" Huang Zhong's face was filled with anger. He cupped his fists towards Gao Fei and said, "Your Majesty, please hand Guan Yu over to my minister. I will let Guan Yu know what the King of Swords is!"
"Father-in-law..."
Gao Fei hurriedly interrupted Zhao Yun's words, changed his previous words of praising Huang Zhong, sighed, shook his head, took Huang Zhong's hand and said: "Old General Huang, that Guan Yu is known as the King of Swordsmen with a Beautiful Beard.
Lu Bu, who used to be unparalleled in the world, was also killed by him. The old general is getting old, and I am only afraid that the old general will..."
"Your Majesty! I am not old at all. If you touch it, my body is still strong. Lian Po is not old at seventy, let alone I am only fifty. I am not afraid of Lu Bu, why should I be afraid of Guan Yu?" Huang Zhonghao said angrily.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to issue a military order. If Guan Yu cannot be captured and killed, I am willing to come and see you!" Huang Zhong was also anxious. He was secretly recalled by Gao Fei. He didn't know what happened. He heard Gao Fei outside the door just now.
Fei rushed in while talking to Zhao Yun.
Gao Fei said: "General Huang, don't be so excited. Since General Huang has decided, let General Huang face Guan Yu."
"Zilong! If you don't accept it, we can compete now to see who is better, you or me!" Huang Zhong rolled up his sleeves, puffed his beard and glared angrily, and was about to take action as he spoke.
Gao Fei hurriedly stopped him and said: "General Huang, there is no need to be like this. Don't hurt your husband-in-law's harmony for the sake of Guan Yu. Let's do this. Tomorrow we will officially launch an attack on Deng County. General Huang will stand against Guan Yu, and Zilong will fight against Zhang Fei."
, and lead the two of them out alone. In this case, the enemy army will be leaderless and will lose control. Then let Zhang Liao command the army to rush forward and drive the Han army to the south of the Han River!"
Huang Zhong calmed down after hearing this, but there was still a trace of sadness in his eyes when he looked at Zhao Yun.
……………………
Jingzhou, Jiangxia.
The Han army retreated without a fight. Tian Yu and Yan Yan led the army to retreat from Jiangxia, all the way back to Xiangyang, and took away all the military supplies in Jiangxia, not even a grain of rice was left. The people of Jiangxia also started to panic.
After fleeing, Jiangxia, which was originally rich and prosperous, suddenly became a desolate place.
On top of the city of Jiangxia, the flag of the Wu army fluttered in the wind, and a camp was set up in the city. Sun Ce, the emperor of Wu, Zhou Yu, the governor-general, and others all gathered in the prefect's mansion in Jiangxia to discuss matters secretly.
"I just received a letter from the Huaxia Kingdom. The letter says, let us attack Jiangling and the Huaxia Kingdom attack Xiangyang. I wonder what you all think?" Sun Ce, wearing a dragon robe and a crown, looked around.
The ministers sitting next to him asked.
"It should be so. The Chinese army has many generals. There are 200,000 people gathered in Xiangyang City. This hard nut should be left to the Chinese army. Our army can advance both by water and land and directly attack Jiangling. Jiangling only has 100,000 soldiers.
Horses, our army is 200,000, even if one person spits, he can flood Jiangling City." Wei General Zhou Tai was the first to shout.
The other generals followed suit and shouted. The people surrounding Sun Ce were all the former generals of Ce Yu's army, who could also be regarded as Sun Ce's old troops. Sun Ce used an army of 200,000 this time, and he also made a lot of careful considerations in selecting generals.
, he chooses
He chose his own old army, thus letting Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Zu Mao and other older generals stay in the country, with Sun Quan as the regent to take charge of the country's secrets, and let Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong, Lu Fan
, Zhu Zhi, Lu Su and others assisted Sun Quan.
Judging from the situation of sending troops this time, Sun Ce did not want those veteran generals to get in the way. After the establishment of the Wu Kingdom, he proclaimed himself emperor. In terms of the court mechanism, he continued the old system of the Han Dynasty, but also made some reforms. For example, Wu
The country does not set up the positions of general, chief minister, chief lieutenant, etc., and the chief governor is the first choice to lead the country's troops. Usually the people who hold this position are Sun Ce's most trustworthy, so this position naturally falls on
On Zhou Yu's body.
After listening to the shouts of some generals, Sun Ce saw that Zhou Yu never spoke, so he said: "Gong Jin, what do you think?"
Zhou Yu said: "Our army has its own route to follow, why do we have to listen to other people's arrangements? The Han army retreated across the board and only defended Jiangling and Xiangyang. They are at odds with each other. Whichever side attacks first will be the next.
Suffered a huge setback. Although our army has an sworn hatred with the Han army, our army cannot be hasty. After waiting for so many years, do we still care about this moment?"
"Gong Jin, what do you mean?" Sun Ce asked.
"Divide the troops into two groups and take the four counties of Jingnan first. As long as we occupy the four counties of Jingnan, our army will form a semi-encirclement of the Han army. After that, we will recharge our batteries and take no action for the time being, waiting for the Chinese army to launch an attack.
, our army, together with Jiangxia, sent troops from five counties to attack Jiangling. Now there are no Han troops in the four counties of Jingnan. Although we sent troops to occupy each county, with 10,000 soldiers and horses, the rest of the troops marched towards Jiangling, and they could only surround Jiangling.
Attack." Zhou Yu said.
After hearing this, Sun Ce nodded and said: "Jingzhou should have been captured by us. Even if the Chinese army defeated it, after capturing Xiangyang, our army has already captured the entire southern Jingnan, and one person in Jingzhou is half of it. It is reasonable and reasonable."
At this time, Dong Xi came from outside, clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the Chinese Tiger Guard General Gan Ning has led a navy of fifty thousand people to go up the Shuojiang River, hoping to use our country's waterways to reach Xiangyang."
"Where is Ganning's navy now?" Sun Ce asked hurriedly.
"Still in Jiangdu, haven't set off yet." Dong Xi replied.
"Reply to Gan Ning and tell him that our country's river defenses are very serious and non-merchant ships are not allowed to enter, and ask him to divert to the Huai River." Zhou Yu said firmly.
Sun Ce said: "Gan Ning is just borrowing a way, how come Gong Jin..."
"Your Majesty, this is a false plan to destroy Guo. If Gan and Ning really go up the Shuo River and along the Yangtze River, they can completely spy on the reality of our country. If there is any friction between our country and the Huaxia Kingdom in the future, I am afraid that a war will begin.
The Chinese army will be able to defeat all odds."
After hearing this, Sun Ce also felt that the consequences would be serious, so he said to Dong Xi: "Follow what the Grand Governor said, Gan Ning is not allowed to enter our territory. If he wants to go to Xiangyang, let him take the Huai River instead."
"Your Majesty, I think it's okay to let Gan Ning borrow the road. The Huai River cannot reach Xiangyang. What's more, if Gan Ning's navy can successfully reach Xiangyang, it will be of great interest to both the Chinese army and our army. At this time,
The Chinese army and our army are joining forces to fight against the enemy. They should work together. As for what happens next, that is another matter.
.What if Gan Ning spies on our army's Jiang Defense? The emperor can notify the defense troops along the river to hide temporarily. In this case, Gan Ning may be able to avoid spying for the time being." The speaker is very young, but has a strong figure and stands tall.
In the corner of the hall, he held the scabbard with his left hand, his body straight and his eyes very bright.
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu glanced at the man at the same time and asked in unison: "Who are you?"
The man cupped his fists and said: "The last general Lu Meng, named Ziming, is currently the captain of Jinu. I pay my respects to the emperor and the governor."
"When did you come in? Don't you know that trespassing is a capital offense?" Zhou Tai asked with a twisted face.
"The general has always been there, you just didn't notice it."
At this time, Sun Ce noticed the sword in Lu Meng's hand, his eyes lit up, and he asked: "Who are you, Deng Dang?"
"He is the brother-in-law of the last general. Thanks to the emperor's favor, the last general has the honor to succeed his brother-in-law and become the Captain of Jinu."
Sun Ce burst out laughing. When he mentioned Deng Dang, he remembered it and said, "So you are Deng Dang's brother-in-law who fought with his life. Very good, very good..."
Zhou Yu said: "Lu Meng, can anyone teach you what you just said?"
"No one can teach you what you think."
Zhou Yu smiled and said: "Very good. You must be responsible for what you said. What you said is also very reasonable. Now is the time to join forces to fight the enemy. Gan Ning's navy is not only helpful to the Chinese army, but also to our army.
There are also great benefits..."
After saying that, Zhou Yu whispered in Sun Ce's ear.
Sun Ce nodded and said: "Lu Meng, the governor recommended you to be General Henghai and asked you to complete what you just said. I will give you half a month and leave the defense of the Yangtze River to you. How can you hide the truth and deceive others?"
It's up to you to pass Ganning."
After Lu Meng heard this, he immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness, and thank you for your promotion to the Governor!"
Two days later, in accordance with the agreement with the Huaxia Army, the Wu army took military action against the Han army. They divided their troops in four directions and marched directly to the four counties of Jingnan. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu led an army of 150,000 to Jiangling, advancing by land and water with great momentum.
The Chinese army also began to fight against the Han army. Gao Fei went to the front line in person, commanded the front line troops and horses, and launched an attack on Guan Yu and Zhang Fei who were stationed in Deng County.
At the same time, the war between the Western Wei and the Shu Han completely broke out. Pang Tong outsmarted Jiameng Pass with a thousand elite troops, opening the door to invade the Shu Han.
In the year 196 AD, on October 26th, all the overlords on one side launched a full-scale war...
