Emperor Shuang: The counterattack started from the Gaopingling Incident Chapter 38: Nanjun is in danger, Zhuge Ke and his troops fail to rescue him, so he has no choice but to retreat back to the city!
Chapter 38: Nanjun is in danger, Zhuge Ke and his troops fail to rescue him, so he has no choice but to retreat back to the city!
At dawn, Cao Shuang ordered the Wei army officers and soldiers to collect the defeated troops of Dongwu, and pulled the Wu soldiers who had not been drowned and burned to death from the river which was still a bit cold in May...
A careful inventory revealed that there were approximately 90,000 drowned rats. Excluding the 3,000 people who boarded the ship to escape, more than 30,000 people were burned to death in their sleep by the blazing fire in the reed swamps, and more than 30,000 people were killed by this.
Jingzhou’s rivers and lakes were drowned.
After this battle, many innocent souls were buried in the rivers and lakes of Jingzhou, becoming bait for fish, shrimps and crabs. The reed swamps in Jingzhou were also innocently damaged. They were implicated by the Wu army for no reason, and turned into fly ash, dissipating in the
Between heaven and earth.
However, with the strong vitality of the reed, there is no need to worry. It will grow again in March and April next year, erasing all traces of the fire that devoured the Soochow soldiers. It is a pity that we can only wait until next year to see this beautiful reed flower.
It’s August…
Deng Ai's more than two thousand Xiling soldiers who were good at water warfare abandoned the ship and swam northwest when the fire ship was completely ablaze and were still ten feet away from the Wu warship. The arriving Cao Shuang army quickly picked them up ashore.
The main reason for letting Deng Ailai take on this important task was that Deng Ailai had been working in Huainan for a long time and the water quality must be good so that he would not be drowned after abandoning the ship.
In the future, if the deeds of this battle are spread, it will discredit the Wei army. Everyone in the world will talk about Cao Wei who is only familiar with land warfare and not water warfare. Even the generals are not familiar with water warfare. How can he dominate the world?
After Deng Ai landed, Cao Shuang ordered him to change into dry clothes before talking. After Cao Shuang's troops arrived, they began to harvest the Wu army. Unfortunately, in the end, the two Sun Wu generals, Sun Jun and Quan Cong, the vanguard, were lucky.
, put out all the fire and saved a broken ship, and escaped back to Jiangdong.
However, he deliberately let these two people go. Although the navy of the Wei army was not as good as that of Sun Wu, it was still possible to beat the drowned dog of Soochow.
The main purpose of keeping Sun Jun was to wait for Bi Yaner's death, so that the two most powerful ministers of Sun and Wu, Zhuge Ke and Sun Jun, could fight among themselves, weaken Sun Wu's strength, and make it easier for the Wei army to march to Jiangdong in the future.
According to time calculation, Ziran Biyaner, the longest-lived emperor of the Three Kingdoms, did not have many years to live. After all, in April of the fifth year of Jian'an, the little overlord Sun Bofu was injured by Xu Gong's disciples while hunting in Danyang.
He died of his injuries on the fifth day of May that year at the age of twenty-six. Eighteen-year-old Ziran Biyaner took over Jiangdong from her brother, and today, on the fifth day of May,
It has been a full forty-nine years. Sima Yi is quite able to survive like the rebellious traitor Sima Yi. He has survived three generations of the Cao family and a generation of big-eared thieves, and now he is the highest-ranking and eldest among the emperors of the Three Kingdoms.<
/p>
As for Quan Cong, he was very strategic. He participated in Sun Wu's planning for many important battles against Wei and Shu. He helped Sun Wu to conquer the mountains and offer suggestions to capture Guan Yu and defeat Xiangfan.
He and Xu Sheng defeated Cao Xiu's boat division and killed Wei general Yin Lu. Soon they joined forces with Lu Xun to attack Cao Xiu at Shiting. Later, the mountain people in Danyang, Wu and Kuaiji counties revolted.
Quan Cong was defeated again and became the prefect of Dong'an. During his tenure, he knew how to reward and punish people, and recruited more than 10,000 people to surrender in a few years. His martial arts and intelligence were outstanding. However, according to Cao Shuang's memories of his previous life, Quan Cong would not survive this year.
The accelerator on the fifth day of May is expected to go faster.
The war at Honghu in Jingzhou started at the beginning of the Haishi period and ended at the end of the Chou period. After that, the fires in the rivers and lakes of Jingzhou were not extinguished, and the flames could be seen soaring into the sky in Jingzhou City.
The person on duty at the top of Jingzhou City tonight was the general Ding Feng. At that time, Ding Feng saw a fire where Sun Wu's 200,000 troops were lying in ambush outside the city. He hurriedly went to disturb Zhuge Ke's "spring dream" and asked him to make up his mind.
.
Ding Feng rode a fast horse and galloped through the city, heading for the Nanjun Prefect's Mansion. After a cup of tea, he asked his soldiers to knock on the door "bang bang bang".
After a while, a servant from the mansion asked inside the door, saying in a slightly unhappy tone: "I wonder who is visiting my Zhuge Mansion late at night?"
After all, anyone would be unhappy if someone disturbed their clear dreams. Ding Feng didn't care. He didn't argue with the servants in Zhuge Ke's house. He just said with a hint of panic: "Quick, open the door and let me go."
I see the prefect, I am the general Ding Feng. I have urgent military information to report to the prefect!"
The servant knew that the military situation was very strong and did not dare to neglect it. He immediately opened the door and said, "This is General Ding. I have offended you a lot with my words just now. I hope that the general will forgive me. I also ask the general to go to the meeting hall and wait for a while."
Then go and ask my family to get up and see the general."
After that, Ding Feng was brought to the meeting hall to serve tea, and then he went to invite Zhuge Ke. The servant knocked on the door and said: "Sir, General Ding Feng came to the house in a hurry late at night. He said he had an urgent military report. Now,
Already waiting in the meeting hall."
Zhuge Ke woke up from his sweet dream and said: "Emergency military situation? Not good! Cao Shuang's son mistook me, madam, change my clothes quickly!"
Zhuge Ke's wife, Lu Qing, was also awakened by the sound outside the house at this time. She stood up sleepily, put on a robe with her hair disheveled, and dressed Zhuge Ke who had jumped out of bed.
In the meeting hall, Ding Feng had been waiting for a cup of tea. When he first sat down, he drank the hot tea in the cup in one gulp. After that, he kept pacing anxiously in the hall to wait.
Zhuge Ke walked quickly towards the meeting hall. As soon as he entered the hall, Ding Feng said anxiously: "Prefect, something bad has happened! The general will be on patrol at the top of the city tonight at Haishi.
After discovering where our Soochow army was ambushing, a fire suddenly broke out, and now the flames are soaring into the sky. The general guessed that it was probably the Cao thieves who had seen through our plan!"
Zhuge Ke was furious and said: "How treacherous Cao Cao is! He actually deceived us. But before, I thought Cao Shuang was an honest man.
It's my fault that you were brave but not resourceful! Chengyuan, hurry up and gather 30,000 soldiers and horses. I will personally save Sun and the two generals!"
Under Zhuge Ke's order, Ding Feng went to wake up the 30,000 soldiers who were still sleeping and assemble them to prepare for the attack.
Zhuge Ke thought for a while and then said: "Steward, please go and inform Cai Lin quickly and ask him to put on his armor and go to the city gate to stand by and come with me to the rescue!"
Half an hour later, at the end of Haishi, Zhuge Ke's army was assembled. Zhuge Ke put on his armor and raised his troops, led Ding Feng, and General Cai Lin went to the place where the fire started...
By the time Zhuge Ke arrived, Cao Shuang's 100,000-strong army had surrounded the place where the fire started, and started a massacre of those who refused to surrender. The Wu army's warships had been burned out, and the fire was spreading among the reeds. Zhuge Ke said: "Soldiers, follow me and kill! Rescue Sun, the two generals!"
Zhuge Ke led Ding Feng and Cai Lin into battle for an hour. By midnight, they had lost thousands of troops and could not break the siege, so they had no choice but to lead the army back to the city to prevent Cao Shuang from taking advantage of Jingzhou's weakness.
At this point, Zhuge Ke understood that the plan that His Majesty and he had concocted to fake surrender must have been discovered by Cao Shuang. Cao Shuang was treating Your Majesty as a monkey with him, which was just too much! The level of treachery was already comparable to that of Cao Shuang back then.
