"Father...! Father...!" Sun Ce pointed at Fancheng on the other side of the Xiangjiang River and shouted loudly: "Huangzu has captured Fancheng and is burning our food and grass!" Sun Jian chopped down the eyeless Jingzhou soldiers with his sword and turned around.
Look, Fancheng is already filled with thick smoke, and black smoke columns are rising straight into the sky.
"Okay! Okay! Now we have something good to watch!" Long Fei chuckled: "Sun Jian is now surrounded by enemies from both sides. Let's see how he solves it. Xiangyang in the front cannot be captured for a long time, Fancheng in the back was defeated by Huang Zu, and Cai Mao is still on the Xiangjiang River.
To avenge one stone, Sun Jian was really in a desperate situation now.
Fancheng was attacked, and the morale of Sun Jian's army plummeted. No more soldiers climbed up the city wall. But the Jingzhou soldiers were extremely happy. The reinforcements had been saved, so naturally everyone was excited. Liu Biao, Kuai Liang, and Kuai Yue brothers came to the city in person.
After checking, everyone applauded and thanked God for not forgetting Jingzhou. After Sun Jian stopped his troops, he retreated to the east of the river overnight. He sent people to remove the rafts he had built, and sent people to stay in Xiangjiang to prevent Jingzhou soldiers from sneaking up behind.
"Lord! It's too late to leave now!" Cheng Pu suggested: "Huang Zu has 30,000 elite soldiers, Xiangyang City has 20,000 elite soldiers, and Cai Hao's 30,000 navy troops are eyeing us. If these three forces join together, we will be fierce.
What a blessing!"
"You can't leave at this time!" Sun Jian was covered in blood and didn't bother to wipe it off: "Liu Biao and the others are watching, how can I have the face to meet the Changsha elders if I leave now!"
"Lord, what do you mean...?"
"Even if we can't defeat Xiangyang, we must capture Fancheng!"
Long Fei and the others stayed on the mountain for two full days without leaving. He was looking for an opportunity, an opportunity to get close to Sun Jian. According to his guess, with Sun Jian's personality, it is very likely that something like a jade seal would be carried with him.
He is hiding it in his own military tent and will never entrust it to others. Even his son Sun Ce may not know about it.
Based on their observations in the past few days, Sun Jian basically stayed in the Chinese military tent. He ate, slept, and discussed military affairs. Everything was done here. If you want to hide the jade seal, this should be the best place because it is tightly defended.
, and right under his nose. Long Fei decided to visit Sun Jian's Chinese army tent at night. This time he did not dare to ask for help, so he took all the people down the mountain and asked Huang Zhong and Dian Wei to support him outside. He and Zhao Yun entered Sun Jian's tent.
Camp.
Long Fei really admired Sun Jian's military management. Although the battle was so hard and the soldiers were so tired, they still stood guard and patrolled in the middle of the night without slacking off at all. I remember when I was a soldier, as long as I had the chance to be lazy, I would be eager to rest.
Come on. The mechanized infantry division to which I belong is a first-class division. They train soldiers like them to death every day. The most comfortable time is in the vast Gobi desert, two people in a foxhole. That kind of leisure is really worldly.
It's rare. And I don't know what magic trick Sun Jian used to make his soldiers perform their duties so faithfully.
After taking care of the two outermost patrols, Long Fei and Zhao Yun changed into Sun Jianjun's clothes and started patrolling for them. They almost circled around Sun Jian's camp and found no flaws. This made Long Fei big
Surprised. According to common sense, no matter how tight the defense is, there will always be blind spots in some places, but Sun Jian's barracks has no blind spots.
From the analysis of the collected intelligence, Sun Jian was not a thoughtful person. Why were his soldiers different and why did his barracks have no dead ends? These questions began to trouble Long Fei. After wandering around for most of the night without any chance, Long Fei and Zhao Yun just
Neng came back angrily. Huang Zhong and Dian Wei immediately gathered around him, and Dian Wei asked: "How is it? Did you find anything?"
Long Fei shook his head. Zhao Yun sighed: "Sun Jian's military service is very strange. He has never found a way to get in. There are soldiers guarding everywhere, and there is no flaw at all!"
The four of them were deep in thought. Suddenly, Huang Zhong said: "I remembered that when I was still a cavalry captain in Jiangxia, Sun Jian was the prefect of Changsha. People often said that Sun Jian's ancestor was Sun Wu, the general of Wu State. Could it be Did Sun Wu have some secret that has been passed down to this day, and why did Sun Jian have such a high-level military strategy?"
"Yes!" Zhao Yun slapped his thigh: "That's right. I always felt that the construction of the barracks was a bit strange last night. When Brother Huang said this, I remembered it. When I was studying martial arts, my master taught me some battle formations. , the south is Li, the north is Kan, the east is Zhen, the west is Dui, Qian is in the northwest, Kun is in the southwest, Gen is in the northeast, and Xun is in the southeast. This is Bagua, Qian is the sky, Kun is the earth, Zhen is thunder, and Kan is It is water, Gen is mountain, Xun is wind, Li is fire, and Dui is river!"
Zhao Yun's few words made everyone stunned. Zhao Yun still thought to himself and said: "Look at the south of Sun Jian's camp, there are mostly lamps and torches, the north is a small stream, the east is blocked by hills, and the west is blocked by A low-lying mud pond, this happens to be the method of Bagua, mutual support and mutual restraint! Oops!" Zhao Yun took a deep breath: "This Sun Wu is indeed an expert. He actually used Bagua to arrange troops hundreds of years ago. He is a master! I admire him!"
"I just heard about this gossip, but I don't understand it! Is there any way to break it?" Long Fei asked.
Zhao Yun thought for a while and said: "It doesn't matter if you want to break it, just change its settings. The east, west, and north sides are all natural barriers. We can't change them. Only the south side uses light bulbs and torches. We only need to extinguish them." Just a few lights and there are flaws!”
"I didn't expect my second brother to study Bagua?" Long Fei smiled slightly. It's true when you think about it. Among Liu Bei's generals, only Zhao Yun and Prime Minister Zhuge Liang are the closest. Zhuge Liang is a master of Bagua, and he is trapped by a Bagua formation. Lu Xun had an army of 100,000. Only Zhao Yun and Zhuge Liang still had something in common, so it's not surprising.
That night, several people came outside Sun Ce's camp again. Zhao Yun carefully identified the lamps and torches, and asked Huang Zhong to shoot over a few. Sure enough, the effect was immediately different. The military camp, which was originally like an iron barrel, was in the southwest corner. A narrow passage appeared. There was no light and no one guarding it. The extinguishment of these lights did not attract Sun Jianjun's attention.
Long Fei nodded and continued to let Huang Zhong and Dian Wei stay behind. He led Zhao Yun into Sun Jian's camp. The layout of the camp was also very particular. Fortunately, Zhao Yun was by his side. According to Zhao Yun's instructions, the two of them walked around After going around and around, he finally saw the Chinese army's tent. Sun Jian was surrounded by Liu Biao and Huang Zu from both sides, and was trapped here for a while. In order to retake Fancheng occupied by Huang Zu, Sun Jian stayed up all night, looking for a way. Army supplies are getting less and less, and we must attack the city tomorrow no matter what.
"Report...! General, Huang Zu from Fancheng came to steal the camp and has entered into battle with General Cheng Pu!"
Sun Jian snorted coldly: "You don't know how to live or die, go quickly, let Sun Ce and Han Jin come to help in the battle, and let Huang Gai lead the archers to station in the rear camp to prevent Liu Biao from sneak attack in Xiangyang!"
"promise!"
Not long after the soldiers came out, Sun Jian also ran out, dressed neatly and holding a sword. In the northeast of the camp, the shouts of killing were deafening, and the blazing fire almost illuminated the sky. All the soldiers ran toward the northeast. Long Fei smiled: "God help me, let's go!"
Sun Jian's tent was not elegantly decorated, with several tables and a handsome chair. The handsome chair was covered with a whole piece of tiger skin, and Nuo Da's tiger head was trampled under his feet. The black and yellow stripes proved that it was very powerful.
It might be a South China tiger. On the shelves on both sides were various weapons such as spears, halberds, broadswords, and hammers. A square box on the desk quickly caught Long Fei's attention. The box was dark purple.
It has a square shape, a round cover, gilded corners, and faint cloud patterns covering the body of the box.
Long Fei came to the box in two or two steps and hurriedly opened it. Sure enough, it was a seal. But it was not a jade seal, but just a copper seal. Zhao Yun came over and opened the seal and took a look: "This is Sun Jian's seal, General Polu."
Sun!"
Putting the seal away again, the two of them continued to search in the big tent. There were only a few pieces of furniture in the whole tent, and you could see almost everything at a glance. It is indeed difficult to hide something in a place like this. The tent is made of cowhide
It is made without screens, let alone any hidden compartments or mezzanines. According to Jia Xu, the jade seal is not a small object that cannot be hidden anywhere.
The two of them searched the big tent but found nothing. Long Fei was a little discouraged and looked around: "It doesn't look like he's here. Now that he's here, he can't go back empty-handed. This tiger skin is good, take him back!"
He pulled out his dagger and cut off some of the hemp ropes holding the tiger skin. Long Fei rolled up the tiger skin starting from the tiger's head. As soon as he took the tiger skin off the seat, Zhao Yun said excitedly: "Here it is!"
Long Fei hurriedly stood up. He saw a hole dug out in the middle of the large handsome chair, and a simple square box was quietly stuck in the hole. It was not big or small, and it would be suitable. Look from under the chair, what?
None. The chair was covered with tiger skin so it couldn't be seen. Sun Jian, that bastard, kept the jade seal pressed under his butt all day long. It was a waste of natural resources.
Long Fei's blood-red dagger cut iron like clay, and with just one stroke of the wooden board, he dug out the wooden box from the handsome chair. The strange thing is that this box is not for jade seals, because the box inside is round.
It was shaped like a foot, and was more than a foot long. It was more like a tea can. Long Fei opened it gently, and a faint earthy smell immediately penetrated his nostrils, along with the slightest musty smell. He looked inside.
, is a long cloth bag.
Opening the bag, it turned out to be a roll of bamboo slips. On the outer skin of the bamboo slips, there were a few words written crookedly. "What are these?" Long Fei called Zhao Yun.
After Zhao Yun read it, he shook his head gently: "I don't know, it's not Xiaozhuan!"
The two of them continued to search, but the sound of footsteps and armors came from outside the big tent. A young voice laughed loudly and said: "This Huang Zu is really an idiot. He only has so much ability to sneak attack us. He wants to use this to attack us."
I should take the opportunity to rush into Fancheng!"
"Young master, you don't know. Although Huang Zu's sneak attack failed, his strength is far superior to ours. We have no advantage in attacking the city at night, so the lord ordered the retreat!"
Several people entered the tent and happened to meet Long Fei and Zhao Yun. The people on both sides were stunned. Then they each took their weapons and got ready to fight. Sun Ce angrily shouted: "Who are you? Why?
