Emperor Shuang: The counterattack started from the Gaopingling Incident Chapter 42: Cai Lin, a national scholar, repays Zhuge Ke as a national scholar and protects Zhuge Ke from leaving!
Chapter 42: Cai Lin, a national scholar, repays Zhuge Ke as a national scholar and protects Zhuge Ke from leaving!
In the afternoon, when the weather was hot, the Pili chariot fired more than 20 kilograms of stones and hit the city wall of Jingzhou with a "bang bang" sound. The sound was deafening to both the Wei and Wu armies.
I can barely hear what the people around me are saying. Even if someone is talking to someone close by, I can only see their mouths opening and closing, but I don’t know what they are saying.
There were constant shouts of killing inside and outside the city, and the excitement made the people in the city tremble with fear. However, the generals of Wei and Wu were excited when the victory was not decided.
Listening to the sound of fighting is like taking stimulants, but when the winner of the war is decided, the winner is so excited that he feels like flying in the clouds and mist, and the loser feels like he is mourning and facing an abyss.
When the city was broken, Zhuge Ke was sweating profusely at the Dadong Gate and commanding the Wu army to resist the Wei army. He had no time to take into account the situation in the city, so he was too preoccupied with his head and body to be attacked by Cao Shuang, who led 500 elite Tiger Guards from the city.
Wang Ling was riding on his horse outside the city and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, follow me and rush in. We will break Jingzhou today!"
The four generals Zhuge Dan, Guanqiu Jian, Wen Qin, and Deng Ai followed him, armed with weapons, and rode their horses into Jingzhou!
"Drive..."
The generals led their troops to the east gate and strangled the Wu troops who refused to surrender in various places in the city. Wang Ling held a sword stained with the blood of the Wu troops and loudly said: "The general has a military order in front of you. All soldiers are not allowed to hurt the civilians in the city."
The common people must commit no crime whatsoever, and anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy!"
All the soldiers said in unison: "The general will obey the general's military orders!"
At this moment, Cai Lin was leading 10,000 soldiers on the way to the Public Security Gate from the Sheriff's Mansion to resist desperately. Ding Feng led 5,000 soldiers to escort Zhuge Ke and his family towards the Public Security Gate, intending to go to Jingzhou outside the Public Security Gate.
From the dock, we took the "Yuhuang" boat and fled along the river to Wuchang.
Jingzhou City is surrounded by a moat with a total length of 20 miles, connecting Taihu Lake in the west, Changhu Lake in the east, and the ancient canal, which can lead directly to the Yangtze River.
In the southeast corner of Jingzhou City, there is a city gate called Gongan Gate, commonly known as Xiaodongmen.
The moat in front of the gate meets the Ma River, forming a wide water surface.
This gate is the water wharf of Jingzhou City, connected to Shatou (today's Shashi) by a canal (today's Bianhe River), directly to the Yangtze River in the southeast, and connected to the Han River in the east through the Changhu Waterway.
Jingzhou City in the Han Dynasty, as the state seat of Jingzhou and the county seat of Nanjun, was one of the top ten commercial centers in the country as early as the Western Han Dynasty and the largest material distribution center in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River.
Cargo ships passing upstream and downstream, and merchants traveling from north to south gathered at the dock, presenting a scene of "thousands of people holding hands (hands holding oars) in the day, and thousands of bright lights at night".
A poet once wrote: "The boat carries pomelos and oranges from Bashu, and the boat thousands of miles away from Dongwu is docked."
Precisely because Jingzhou was the commercial center of the Han Dynasty, with merchants coming from north to south day and night, Cao Shuang and Lu Meng, who had been in Jian'an for 20 years, had the opportunity to break into Jingzhou by chance during their business trip.
After the big-eared thief Liu Bei got married in the Eastern Wu Dynasty, he borrowed money from Jingzhou. He and his wife Sun Shangxiang took a boat from Youjiangkou in Gong'an County to the East Gate and landed in the city. Therefore, later generations called the Xiaodong Gate Gong'an Gate.
Cao Shuang and Wang Ling met at Dadongmen and personally led 10,000 infantry and 1,000 tiger guards to pursue Zhuge Ke. Cao Shuang raised his Heavenly Sword and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, follow me and charge! Capture the traitor Zhuge Ke alive."
!"
After a cup of tea, Cao Shuang led a group of generals to charge and kill Cai Lin. Guanqiu Jian pointed his long sword at him and said sternly: "General Cai, where is the master of your family!"
Cai Lin looked like he was willing to die generously and said with a smile: "The thief Cao is treacherous and has repeatedly deceived my lord, causing me to lose 200,000 troops in Soochow. Now he has cheated his death and taken Jingzhou from me.
I will fight your thief Cao to the death! Today either you die or I die, hum! My lord has returned to Wuchang, and with me here, you can’t even think of doing anything bad to my lord!”
Wen Qin pointed his spear at Cai Lin and shouted: "General Cai, don't use your words anymore. Those who know better should quickly put down their weapons, surrender to our general, and tie the traitor Zhuge Ke in front of our general!"<
/p>
Cai Lin's face was covered with the blood of Wei Jun, with a hint of the desolation of a hero at the end of his life. He wiped his face casually with his hand. At this moment, he knew that the warm blood on his face belonged to Wei Jun, but he would probably add it later.
His own.
However, he did not regret his decision to lead 10,000 troops to stay. When the lord was appointed as the governor of Dangyang, Shanyue ravaged Danyang, colluded with Cao Wei, and resisted Sun Wu's rule.
At that time, I was just a teenager. More than a hundred Shanyue people came to the county town to grab food, burning, killing and looting wantonly. My father would not let go of the few liters of rice at home.
In the end, the unarmed father was hacked to death by the brutal Shanyue people. After his death, his head was cut off by the Shanyue people, intending to take it back to the mountain tribe as a trophy to show off.
My mother couldn't bear the insult from the people of Shanyue, so she threw herself into a well and died. Just when the people of Shanyue were about to attack her, the lord came with his troops, rescued her, helped bury her parents, and avenged herself by killing the group of people who were wreaking havoc in the countryside and doing evil.
The Shanyue people let themselves take the Shanyue head as a memorial in front of their parents' graves.
After that, he took himself with him, personally taught him martial arts and the art of war, led him to climb mountains and cross mountains, accumulated military merits, and got a military officer position as a right guard army. After the lord became the general of Soochow,
He has always brought himself with him to achieve more military exploits, and this time is no exception. He originally wanted to take himself with him to achieve some meritorious deeds, but unexpectedly, the Wei thieves turned out to be so treacherous. His majesty and the lord's plan to fake surrender did not work at all.
, the result can only be that he failed to defeat the tiger, but was bitten by the tiger instead.
In the past, my lord treated me like a soldier of the country, and today I will repay him as a soldier of the country. Thinking of this, Cai Lin laughed a few times and said: "You can just come over. If you want to see my lord, you need to get the corpses of a certain person and his brothers."
Cross over!"
Cao Shuang helplessly closed his eyes and waved his hand: "General Cai is such a loyal man, but it's a pity that he can't be used by me. In this case, we will sacrifice his loyalty. Let's do it. No need to show mercy!"
Wen Qin took the lead and stepped forward with a spear to fight with Cai Lin. In the twentieth round, Wen Qin stabbed Cai Lin in the heart with his spear. Cai Lin was unable to dodge and was stabbed with a spear in the heart on the spot, causing blood to flow.
More than that.
Even though he was dying and vomiting blood, Cai Lin still looked up to the sky and sighed and murmured: "My lord! Your great kindness to me has been repaid in this life!"
Then Cai Lincai fell straight into a pool of blood. Seeing that the other Wu soldiers had not yet surrendered, the Wei army began to kill them again. The direct killing made the Wu army frightened. Cao Shuang then asked the soldiers to shout: "Put down your weapons. Those who surrender will not be killed!" p>
Seeing that their leader was dead and there was no point in resisting anymore, the remaining five thousand or so Wu soldiers laid down their weapons and surrendered.
Wang Ling left two thousand soldiers to guard the surrendered soldiers, gathered their weapons, and then followed Cao Shuang and led the army to pursue Zhuge Ke.
When they arrived at Gong'anmen, Zhuge Ke, Ding Feng and his wife Lu Qing's family had already boarded the boat a hundred meters away from the shore and were no longer able to catch up. Furthermore, Cao Shuang also intended to let Zhuge Ke go back so that he and Sun Jun could be together in the future.
When tigers are fighting, they are not chasing.
There were still 2,000 soldiers left at the ferry who could not return to their homeland in Jiangdong. After all, the large ship "Yu Huang" could only carry more than 3,000 people.
Zhuge Ke abandoned them, and the remaining soldiers had no choice but to surrender to the Wei Dynasty. Cao Shuang's soldiers cleared the remaining Wu army in the city at the end of Youshi. Cao Shuang then asked the chief secretary Yang Zong to take out the peace notice he had written before and place it in various places in the city where people gathered.
Posted to reassure the people of Jingzhou.
At night, the officers and soldiers of the Wei army patrolled various parts of the city to prevent robbers from harming the people of Jingzhou...
