Chapter 18: Killing the Dragon and Falling in the Field (Continue to Repay the Debt)
Due to the distance, or simply because Xiapi is about a hundred miles away from Tan City, the Langya soldiers collapsed first on the third day after Guan Yu captured Xiapi, which was the Double Ninth Festival on the ninth day of September.
.
Even the night before, people from Xiapi City had already reported on flying horses, telling Zang Ba and others that Xiapi had succeeded. Even the next morning, someone brought the news of the surrender of Liangcheng, the important town between Xiapi and Tancheng, and the news.
He was convinced, even though someone soon brought the flag of Mi Fang, the governor of Xiapi... But in the morning, when the ecstatic Zang Ba tried to organize the entire army to bypass Tancheng and settle in Liangcheng behind Tancheng, the senior generals
It's okay for them, but no one believes the lower-level officers and soldiers below.
The reality of the low-quality Langya soldiers who came from bandits was terrible. They knew that after that breakfast, the army would not be able to provide even a meal of food. And after several days of deception and coercion, they were no longer willing to trust their coach Zang Ba.
They don't want to believe the authenticity of those flags and messengers. They just want to go home!
So, just when the whole army left the camp and prepared to go southwest, the mutiny suddenly appeared and became unstoppable!
The tens of thousands of troops completely collapsed on the edge of Tancheng and dispersed. Under the collapsed order, countless soldiers completely lost their minds and turned into an extremely standard rout... They did not hesitate to kill each other in order to fight for roads and some dry food.
Massacres, and some people who thought they were clever knew that the cause of the food shortage was that the Yishui River was blocked, so they tried to cross the river regardless of the dozens of ships cruising in the river, and drowned or were hit to death on the Yishui River.
, reduced to a floating corpse.
And when the gates of Tancheng were wide open, Xuzhou soldiers who were extremely excited swarmed out and tried to hunt down the Langya soldiers who were several times their own. These Langya soldiers were clearly well-equipped, had just had breakfast, and were still killing their own people.
They were so agile, but now they were like tens of thousands of frightened rabbits, losing their last bit of control and heading north one after another!
Surrenders began to appear on a large scale, and more and more people abandoned their armor. The floating corpses in Yishui River became thicker and thicker. Fifty thousand Langya soldiers fell thousands of miles away, and there was no cure!
On a high ground in the south of Tancheng, Zang Ba, who was covered in blood, and all the Langya generals who had worked hard to escape here with their elite henchmen, and Xu Yuanzhi, all looked at the collapse to the north in a stunned manner.
The soldiers may or may not have experience, but when faced with such a level of disintegration, they all trembled for a moment.
Because no one could have imagined that the collapse of the army would be so rapid, and that the collapse of the army would be so terrible.
Guo Jia also had some fear and fear. He had actually expected this scene, because in internal military textbooks, more than one general mentioned the example of the Goguryeo Battle of Siwon, in which tens of thousands of Goguryeo soldiers became soldiers during the retreat.
The retreat and the subsequent tragedy left a very deep impression on Guo Fengxiao.
However, if something similar happened in front of his eyes, Guo Jia would also be shocked.
"Let's go!"
After watching for a while, Guo Jia, who had returned to normal, suddenly said hello, and then he greeted the remaining troops in his headquarters and headed south.
Zang Ba and the others were silent for a moment, and then called on all the troops to follow them... After all, they have been thieves for many years, and these young and powerful tyrants generally have an elite force with the best equipment and the most reliability with them.
Not many, such as Yin Li, Xiao Jian and others, each brought out about two to three hundred soldiers; the Sun brothers were stronger, and in addition to the two brothers' 800 personal soldiers, they also brought out more than a thousand loyal subordinates;
Zang Ba had the largest number, with more than a thousand of the main force of the camp, plus two to three thousand willing subordinates, all following his banner to the south, and he also killed a Tancheng garrison Sima on the way; Guo Jia was still that
There is nothing to say about the five hundred subordinates who came from Qingzhou. As for Wu Dun, some say that he led his people northward, while others say that he died in the rebellion.
But now, it doesn’t matter anymore!
Once the 50,000-strong army collapses, only five or six thousand people will be left in total. If Guo Jia's 500 people are removed, there will be no one left in ten, but it is enough!
Because they have definitely changed hands!
Since Xiapi has changed hands, Zhou Yu is now surrounded on three sides, and may even be surrounded on four sides.
In a bad taste, Guo Jia actually wanted to see what Zhou Yu would do with so many Langya surrendered troops... What would be the use of the 30 to 40,000 surrendered troops who could not fight and would only be thrown out of control by the wind and grass? Langya's surrendered troops.
The army collapsed on the 6th. How many days will it take for Zhou Yu's Xuzhou army to collapse?
The materials in Xiapi City are piled up in mountains, and the city is surrounded by three walls. Guan Yu can firmly hold this place and wait for Zhou Yu to collapse! And there is Shen Pei, who can lead Qingzhou sailors ashore, go south to block Langya Pass, and intimidate Kaiyang.
Joining forces with Guan Yu, or simply letting the navy go directly south to the mouth of the Huaihe River... will put Zhou Yu's group gathered near Yishui into a desperate situation.
Even from a certain perspective, at this moment, even the fate of Zhou Yu Group and Tancheng seems insignificant, because since the fall of Xiapi, it means that there is a fatal loophole in the defense line of the entire Central Plains Alliance, which means that the original stalemate situation
Being completely broken means that the balance of the entire world is tilting at an extremely rapid rate! In comparison, Zhou Yu, who was blocked in Yishui, has really lost his basic strategic significance.
And what caused all this was Zhou Gongjin himself who tried his best to repay his lord!
It was this tactical genius who concentrated his efforts on Tancheng that allowed Guo Jia and Guan Yu to successfully glimpse a strategic gap that flashed by. Then they seized the fighter plane and stabbed into the heart of the Central Plains Allied Forces!
If you say one thousand things and ten thousand things, that’s Xiapi!
If Kaiyang is the key to Langya County, then Xiapi is the key to the entire Xuzhou!
In the afternoon, on the wall of Tancheng, Zhou Yu, who had been overjoyed just now, was momentarily at a loss because the troops actually found the flag seal of the Liangcheng County guard behind him in the Langya Army camp, and found the flag of Mi Fang, the prefect of Xiapi... and it was just
A moment later, Zhou Gongjin, who had completely woken up, was so happy and frightened that his vision went dark and he almost fell off the city wall.
Fortunately, the soldiers around him saw the opportunity quickly and let the feather fan fall in the wind.
On September 9th, the Double Ninth Festival, it was time to climb high and look far, but the one who stood at the highest peak on this day was by no means Feather Fan Lunjin, who defeated Zhou Gongjin with 50,000 Langya soldiers in one fell swoop.
By the way, Xiapi is a well-known important town in the Central Plains. It is the prefecture of Xuzhou, the headquarters of the Eastern Front of the Central Plains Allied Forces, and the transit point for logistics supplies on the Eastern Front. The fall of this city cannot be hidden from anyone, not to mention that Guan Yu is not sitting in Xiapi City.
Motionless... After he obtained Xiapi, he opened a warehouse to store grain, gathered local civilians, and appeased the families of Xuzhou soldiers; but he immediately divided his troops and attacked surrounding towns with the banners of Chen, Chen Qun, and others in the city as a guide!
Liangcheng, Xiaxiang and other cities all surrendered and fell on the second day, the eighth day of September.
On the evening of September 9th, the front line of Tancheng, which had just won a great victory, was already certain, and the three cities behind them, Liangcheng, Xiapi, and Xiaxiang, had undoubtedly fallen.
On September 10th, basically everyone in Xuzhou knew the fatal news.
On the morning of September 11th, Xiahou, who was far away in Changyi, also confirmed the authenticity of the news in Pegasus newspapers all over Xuzhou, and then quickly reported to Guandu.
And on this morning, Zhou Gongjin, who had been thinking about it for two days, actually gathered his energy and without hesitation gave up the plan of relying on Tancheng and holding Kaiyang waiting for help, and chose to break out immediately!
This is a very difficult decision, but it seems to be a very right decision!
If you choose to stay here, you can rely on the navy's blockade, the strength of Tancheng, and the food in Kaiyang to continue to survive. It is impossible to say that after the victory is decided in Guandu, this place may not really collapse. But this is meaningless, just sit and wait for death.
That's all.
Because as soon as winter arrives, the dry season will come, and the naval blockade will collapse immediately; and the strength of Tancheng, the food in Kaiyang, and the huge number of troops are meaningless in the face of the fluctuation of people's hearts... This point, the Double Ninth Festival
The Langya soldiers that day had fully demonstrated it to everyone.
In fact, after I heard that Guan Yu did not commit any crimes in Xia Piqiu, but treated all soldiers, generals, and their families well, and even distributed grain to the people, Tancheng was already a little unstable.
The more important point is that Zhou Gongjin, who has a huge guilt mentality, has no reason to lead so many troops to death. He really wants to do his best to save some strength for Liu Bei and try his best to save a little bit of the situation!
The navy gathered near Tancheng and then chose to abandon the ships and go ashore. The hundreds of warships that Xuzhou had spent six or seven years accumulating were burned to the ground. Together with the original infantry and civilians, they could barely scrape together 30,000 warships.
The troops abandoned all their surrendered troops, immediately crossed the Yishui River, and headed east!
One more thing to say here is that before leaving, Zhou Yu even thought about killing all the tens of thousands of Langya soldiers. The reason why he failed was not because he was soft-hearted, but because he was afraid of wasting time.
The goal is already obvious. Zhou Yu has completely given up on personal life and death at this time. He just wants to fight and fight, hoping to cross Wuyuan and reach the last place between the Central Plains and Xuzhou before Guan Yu and Guo Jia.
Strategic barrier, where Pengcheng County of Pengcheng State is located. As long as we seize this city and control the upper reaches of Surabaya River, although we do not expect to be able to reverse the situation of the war, at least we can let the Central Plains Allied Forces take a breath and see if they can make defense adjustments to prevent
After stabilizing the situation in Xuzhou, Guan Yu directly penetrated into the heart of the Central Plains.
Of course, this move tacitly gave up the entire Xuzhou.
"Commander, Wuyuan is ten miles ahead!"
After marching sixty miles in one day and night, and even crossing the Yishui River, Zhou Yu and his troops finally arrived in Wuyuan County early in the morning of the next day. His trusted naval general Zhong Lixu immediately asked for instructions.
"The whole army will rest for a while, use water and dry food, and then prepare the flags and the remaining golden drums in the army. Later, they will make a noise and move forward!" Zhou Yu, who had already abandoned the feather fan towel and replaced it with an iron armor and steel helmet, thought for a moment and then rode on his horse.
He gave the best answer. He needed to prevent the defenders in the city from being surrendered by Guan Yu. "Guan Yunchang had just captured Xiapi and his troops were limited. Even if the city was surrendered, the original officials should still be there. With a shock, we might be able to directly shake them."
generation."
Zhong Lizu did not dare to neglect and immediately took the order and left.
After Zhou Yu issued the military order, he did not have time to use dry food, so he hurriedly summoned another general, saying that they were going to have a meal together, and then dismounted and went to a secluded place with the general, and no one around him was confused.
It turns out that this general, named Zhou Li, is a distant brother of Zhou Yu's clan. He is now the Army Sima in charge of military law in the army. He was originally the person responsible for investigating the situation in the army.
As soon as the brothers came to a small slope and sat down side by side, Zhou Gongjin couldn't help but asked in a low voice and seriously: "Second brother, we marched one day and night, how many scattered people are there in the army?"
Zhou Li appointed this army commander as a relative, and he was originally doing this job. Naturally, he made many observations along the way, but he still looked serious and shook his head in reply: "Yesterday during the day, two to three thousand local Tancheng soldiers and horses deliberately fell behind Yishui River.
, did not cross the river, you did not let me pay attention to it at that time, and by the evening, there were so many soldiers fleeing, countless, and even officers and army commanders took the lead in fleeing, I have no way of knowing... I can only make a rough guess, even yesterday
During the day, we went together, about four to five thousand people... among them, although most of the navy troops were from Guangling, they were still the safest."
After running away one-sixth of the troops in one day and night, Zhou Yu was not angry, and even nodded slowly, then took a long breath and relaxed for a moment... Obviously, this result seemed to Zhou Yu to be extremely normal, even better than him
Think even better.
There is no way, Xuzhou has only ruled Huainan for a year or two. It is normal that the local soldiers lack centripetal force towards Huainan. That is to say, Xuzhou navy has followed him very early, and they can rely on Zhou Gongjin's personal charm to maintain it as much as possible.
Now that he knew that the situation did not exceed expectations, Zhou Yu no longer thought about it. He just took out the most common dry food in the army today, which is a portion of dry fried noodles, regardless of the image. In a moment of embarrassment, he crushed it into pieces and swallowed it hastily with a water bag.
down to replenish physical strength.
In other words, due to the rush of the trip, there was no time to boil water as stated in the military regulations. Even Zhou Gongjin's water bag was hastily filled from Yishui River. While the two brothers were eating and drinking together, suddenly Zhou Yu
The water bag made of cowhide was not flowing smoothly, as if something was blocking the mouth of the bag... Zhou Yu had no intention of eating, so he simply stopped, put away the grain bag and water bag, and prepared to enter the city.
In this way, Zhou Yu, who had not eaten well at all, mustered up his energy, led more than 20,000 soldiers, fully clothed, and mounted a fine mount that is increasingly rare in the Central Plains area. It was majestic, with continuous banners, and trusted naval forces.
In front, with the infantry behind, they went straight to Wuyuan City.
And sure enough, as Zhou Yu expected, Wuyuan City saw such a majestic military posture from afar, and immediately panicked... There is no doubt that since Guan Yu has obtained Xiapi, he will definitely take the surrounding key towns in order, either to surrender or to capture them.
Although Wuyuan's position is not as important as Liangcheng and Xiaxiang (the former is the inevitable place to connect with Guo Jia, and the latter can lock Zhou Yu's southward retreat), it is a large city nearby next to Xiapi, and it was also Guan Yu's day.
The road Baiyi took southward must have been sent to capture and surrender early.
Only Guan Yu does not have enough troops for this trip. Before getting backup, he probably still has to prioritize protecting Xiapi, and there is no way to allocate enough troops to each city to assist in defense.
Therefore, it must be that the officials in the city had just surrendered and were shaken for a moment, and Guan Yu sent insufficient troops to control the situation.
The army moved forward and stopped more than a hundred steps away from Wuyuan City. Zhonglixu, a famous general of the Xuzhou navy, was ordered to step forward and shouted from a distance:
"The Governor of Zhou has defeated 50,000 Langya soldiers. Liu Yuzhou personally brought 100,000 Huainan soldiers to Pengcheng. At this time, Guan Yu has become a caged beast in Xiapi... I think you are ignorant. If you can open the city and surrender at this time, you can avoid death.
, otherwise after three rounds of drums, the whole army attacks the city, and everyone will be destroyed by then!"
The city suddenly became quiet.
Zhong Lizu looked back at his governor and said it a second time.
However, as soon as the man opened his mouth and before he uttered a word, the drums in the city were the first to sound, a Sun-character flag was erected first, and hundreds of archers rushed out together and fired a volley at the city!
When the arrows rained down, Zhong Lixu was still far away, so he was not injured. However, many generals and officers below Zhou Yu in the city lost their countenance... because the sudden appearance of a wall full of archers on the city wall exceeded their expectations.
For a moment, Zhou Gongjin really hesitated. He didn't know how many soldiers there were in the city. Should he attack the city by force?
If we don't attack and use the dry food brought by the army, and then Guan Yu takes the initiative to attack and blocks it once, then it is estimated that one day and night later it will be a replica of the Langya Army on the Double Ninth Festival, and no one knows that the city is playing tricks from time to time.
And if the city is attacked, the army lacks attack equipment. Once there are enough troops hidden in the city and the city cannot be captured in one day, it is estimated that the army will collapse even faster.
Ever since, Zhou Gongjin really became confused... Of course, it's not his fault. He came in a hurry and didn't have any information.
"Captain Zhou!" At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the city under the banner of Sun Zi. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be his old friend Sun Guan. "Deputy Envoy Guo said that if you are willing to surrender, you will definitely have a bright future..."
After saying this, Sun Guan paused for a moment. "Now that Cao Liu's defeat has been decided, why should he bury all his skills with Liu Yuzhou?!"
Zhou Yu looked at this person, made some calculations in his mind, but without hesitation, immediately ordered the attack on the city... Without him, Zhou Gongjin was betting that the other party was playing tricks, and there was only one Sun Guan in the city!
It is said that it is an siege. It can only be done by the reliable navy in the front row, trying to use the advantage of numbers to climb up the rope, and at the same time find a big tree to knock down the door.
However, not to mention how the navy is not good at land warfare, nor to say how much damage such a siege force without equipment will suffer during the attack. It is just that these more than ten thousand Zhou Gongjin's most trusted confidants worked hard for a long time, and finally someone succeeded from it.
After climbing the city wall from the side, drums rumbled again on the wall, and then countless soldiers suddenly appeared and easily strangled Dai Jin who had successfully climbed the city wall.
Not only that, Zhou Yu looked outside the city and saw that Zang Ba, Yin Li, Xiao Jian, Sun Guan and others were all there! What made his eyes sting like needles pricking him even more was that Guo Guo.
word flag!
Until now, how could Zhou Gongjin not know that he was just one move away from this person? But now, since he is here, it can only mean one thing. When he begins to gather troops in Tancheng to prepare for a breakout,
, the man made a decisive decision, immediately abandoned Liangcheng and sent troops here!
If it's earlier, it will definitely be released by the boats on the Yishui River; if it's later, it will definitely be late.
Of course, this can't be considered a miracle... It can only be said that once the battle situation reversed, Zhou Gongjin instantly lost the opportunity.
"Let's go!"
Now that he saw Guo Jia and Langya generals arriving at Wuyuan, Zhou Yu gave up the idea of attacking the city, but reluctantly ordered the entire army to bypass Wuyuan and continue towards Pengcheng.
By now, Zhou Gongjin no longer had any selfish thoughts. He just wanted to lead as many troops as possible towards Pengcheng... After all, even if they were to collapse in the wilderness, judging from the composition of this army, there would be
Quite a few soldiers chose to flee to Pengcheng.
At that time, if there is a big flag standing in Pengcheng, these soldiers and horses can immediately restore their combat capabilities.
The truth is correct, but Zhou Yu probably didn't realize it at this time. He had calmed down to a state beyond the norm, and he had forgotten himself in all calculations.
The soldiers and horses on the city had no intention of leaving the city to pursue them. They just watched Zhou Yu's troops walk around the city in an extremely embarrassed manner... But it is conceivable that they would rest in the city and recharge their batteries before detaching a force.
Elite soldiers, following and harassing.
Traveling all the way until evening, more than ten miles southwest of Wuyuan City, Zhou Yu had just dismounted from his horse to rest, but he called his brother Zhou Li again to inquire about the situation.
"Guo Jia is following behind, and the morale of the whole army is low. They are afraid that they will collapse in one battle." Zhou Li lowered his head and sighed. "A lot of soldiers and horses scattered along the way and headed toward Xiapi, but Guo Jia didn't divide his troops at all.
Understand it, now even the navy has wavered."
Zhou Yu sat facing east, sitting on his horse in silence for a moment. Behind him, wherever the setting sun shone, was the endless plain in the hinterland of the Central Plains.
After a long time, the Eastern Front Commander of the Central Plains Allied Forces finally spoke slowly: "Although the Xuzhou navy was supplemented by more descendants from Huainan and Jiangnan in the later period, the majority of them were from Guangling and Donghai... How can they follow me here?
I am already very grateful for abandoning the boat and attacking the city."
Zhou Li hesitated to speak, but in the end it was difficult to interrupt.
On the other hand, since Zhou Yu had already had the worst thoughts, he didn't want to pay attention to them. He just remained calm as usual and went to get the water bag and food bag on his body.
However, after opening the water bag, it was still blocked. Seeing this, Zhou Li only handed over his water bag, and then went to clean up the water bag that had been dumped by Zhou Yu.
The two brothers thought it was stones, water plants and the like at first, but as Zhou Li shook it vigorously, a soaked, white and swollen finger popped out of the water bag, but Zhou Gongjin couldn't bear it anymore.
, and vomited directly. Not to mention, the man was already exhausted after marching day and night, and then he forced himself to calm down and failed to attack the city. After vomiting, his vision went dark, and he was about to fall down.
land!
Zhou Li hurriedly helped the other party, and then tried to call the army doctors over, but he didn't know where the doctors were... Zhou Yu's trusted soldiers all around him also gathered around him, and they were frightened for a moment.
After all, Zhou Gongjin fainted once on the city wall before, and now he fainted again. How could they dare to neglect him?
After waiting for a while, Zhou Yu opened his eyes slightly. When he saw his brother here, he held his hands and said something from his heart:
"I have been taught since I was a child to be tolerant and sincere to others. I never speak ill of others and never feel jealous... What I ended up with now is really due to my narrow vision and I am to blame for myself. But even so, when I saw Guo Fengxiao's flag today,
After all, I got angry and remembered an old incident about Yuan Benchu! I heard someone say that Yuan Benchu was trapped in Qingzhou, and when he saw the Liaodong soldiers coming from the sea, he couldn't help but sigh, "Now that he is alive, why should he be born in Shao?" and left. Today
When I saw Guo Jia abandoning Liangcheng and coming to Wuyuan to wait for me, I couldn't help but think of these words... The so-called 'when Yu was born, how could Jia be born'? Second brother, do you think this is the destiny mentioned by Xuzhou Buddhism?
!”
Zhou Li was not actually close to Zhou Yu originally. In other words, as a branch of the Zhou family in Yangzhou, he was naturally jealous of his younger brother who was more than twice as strong as him in everything. But Zhou Gongjin, the so-called treatment of others,
Kuan, Yicheng, how many people opposed him with evil intentions, but in the end they became his friends, let alone Zhou Li?
But today, when he saw his noble clan brother, who was usually as noble as a dragon, phoenix and unicorn, so rude, Zhou Li couldn't help but burst into tears.
And Zhou Yu spit out the block that had been hidden in his heart for half a day, took a few breaths, and wanted to give a few more instructions, but unexpectedly, he suddenly heard a noise and shouting from the northeast, as if Guo Jia took advantage of the sunset and directly chose to attack.
...and Zhou Gongjin stood up regardless of everything. He wanted to give an order, but unexpectedly, after not eating for two days and nights, his vision went dark and he fainted again.
At midnight, the man opened his eyes again on the bumpy horse, but he was already feverish and unconscious.
Zhou Li stepped forward after hearing the news, wanting to tell the truth... After sunset, Guo Jiazi and the Langya generals continued to harass the rear. There were less than five thousand soldiers and horses, and Zhou Yu's beloved general Zhong Lixu died in order to cut off the rear.
Under Zang Ba's sword.
But when he came to the horse, he saw that although Zhou Gongjin opened his eyes, he was drowsy and confused. He was just talking nonsense and sighed. He did not report the military situation, but just accompanied him to take care of him.
As for him, he listened carefully to his brothers' nonsense all the way, but he only heard one sentence clearly:
"I owe Liu Yuzhou!"
After a while, Zhou Gongjin closed his eyes and fell asleep again. When he woke up again, he found that it was already dawn and he himself had been stripped of his armor and placed on a long ridge.
"How many people are there in the army?" Zhou Yu's face flushed, and he tried his best to face the brothers and several personal guards who came after hearing the news. "Why did we stop? How far is it from Pengcheng?"
Zhou Li, whose arm was obviously injured, hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth: "Early this morning, Guan Yu personally led three thousand troops out of Xiapi to intercept our way, and attacked Guo Jia front and back... Our army is now less than three thousand.
The rest were scattered in the early morning battle. As for this place, it is already within Pengcheng County!"
Zhou Yu let out a long sigh: "It's bad... If Guan Yu and Guo Jia join forces, there is no chance that they will drive the defeated troops into Pengcheng. If Pengcheng falls, the overall situation of the Central Plains will never be restored! Brother... I have something to entrust to you!"
When Zhou Li heard the word "entrust", he couldn't help but look sad.
"Abandon me, before the enemy arrives, abandon me and go to Pengcheng quickly... At this time, there are still three thousand soldiers and horses accompanying us. They must be reliable Huainan disciples. Take them into Pengcheng and use the land to gather the defeated troops.
Then Pengcheng can be protected!" Zhou Yu urged.
"You're just one person. We'll set off right now and take turns carrying you..." Zhou Li quickly interrupted the other party.
"You can't escape even if you do that!" Zhou Yu gestured to the people around him to help him sit up, while pointing his finger at the flag. "You set the flag here, and then leave quickly... Only my dragon head, which is worth ten thousand gold, can do this."
Please ask for a chance of life!"
Zhou Li still wanted to talk.
"I have never begged for help in my life! Today I beg you, brother, to stop being kind to a woman and to stop being as incompetent as you were when you were a boy..." Zhou Yu scolded with all his strength. "If you don't go to Pengcheng now, not only will you and I not be able to survive,
Even the lord will be implicated by you! Go quickly!! All of you go!!"
Zhou Li did not dare to be negligent anymore, but with tears in his eyes he helped his brother set up a flag beside him, and then he gritted his teeth and led the crowd away.
A moment later, as expected, countless soldiers and horses came to look at the banner with the word "zhou". The leader was none other than Langya Prefect Zang Ba! However, Zang Xuangao saw the situation here from a distance, but he just surrounded it and did not even allow it.
Others went to touch, but instead went to invite Guan Yu, and Guo Jia arrived... Obviously, Zang Xuangao, who puts loyalty first, has thought about the post-war problems. He took the title of marquis for his military achievements as a general, which was not enough to protect many brothers.
Repeated mistakes were made in this campaign.
On the contrary, it is better to give it to the two Yan Gong's confidants semi-publicly, so that I can intercede for many brothers in the future.
Guan Yu did not come, but Guo Fengxiao and Xu Yuanzhi came together to sing a song for soldiers.
"I don't want to really win a dragon!" Guo Jia came to the ridge of the field and saw Zhou Yu sitting cross-legged and motionless, with extraordinary momentum. He asked the defeated soldiers again and again. After he was sure that it was correct, he couldn't help laughing and handed over his hands. "Captain Zhou, I have admired your name for a long time, and my ears are like thunder!"
"I've been looking down for a long time too!" Zhou Yu's face turned red and his whole body felt weak. He could only look down at him.
"Now that things have come to this, are you willing to surrender?" Guo Jia took two steps forward and asked seriously. "With the weight of Chen's father and son, the closeness of Mi Fang's marriage, and the kindness of Chen Qun and Jian Yu as a young man, they all surrender..."
"So, those people are all shameless people!" Zhou Yu responded sternly. "When a husband is in the world, when he meets his confidant, he has the righteousness of the monarch and his ministers, the kindness of the flesh and blood, follows the words and deeds, and shares the misfortune and blessings. Just add a weak crown to a small one.
Regarding the responsibilities in this aspect... Now that we have been defeated, we have already failed the Lord's favor and only died. How can we talk about surrender? Although Yu is weak, he is recognized by the world as a soaring dragon. How can he be called a snake and a rat? "
Guo Jia looked at the other party and nodded slowly: "This is a good move! In that case, do you have any words to explain?"
"I owe Liu Yuzhou!" Zhou Yu felt sad for a moment.
"Everyone in the world knows about this!" Guo Jiasu responded with a smile.
"I owe Jiang Ziyi." Zhou Yu ignored the other party's ridicule and continued to speak slowly and sadly.
Guo Jia raised his eyebrows slightly and was solemn for a moment: "Now...do you still have words?"
"No, the scenery here is very beautiful, please hurry up." Zhou Yu was panting, as if he was gradually exhausted.
Guo Fengxiao turned around, pointed at Zhou Yu with his finger, and said sternly to Xu Shu: "Yuan Zhi, this is a true hero! Your sword is sharper than mine, please give him a hard time!"
When Xu Shu heard the words, he felt his energy and blood surge up, and without saying a word, he drew his sword and stepped forward. Amidst the astonishment of Zang Ba and others, he struck Zhou Gongjin's head with a sword from behind.
"He who doesn't think about the overall situation can't think about a region..." Guo Jia turned around, looked at the headless corpse that was spitting out blood, and sighed quietly. "How come such an outstanding person doesn't understand how to think about the overall situation?"
On the other hand, the mighty governor of the town, Donghai Tenglong, is not much less important than Pengcheng. Is it because he is sick and confused, or is he infected with Liu Xuande's knight-errant spirit too much? Or maybe he is a high-ranking man who knows this truth.
, knowing that his master wants him to live, but being ashamed to meet his master?"
Everyone around, except Xu Shu and Zang Ba, didn't know what Guo Jia meant. Even Xu Shu and Zang Ba felt sad for a moment. They didn't know how to deal with it, so they could only respond in silence.
And when they followed Guo Jia to catch up with Guan Yu and arrived at the gate of Pengcheng City, they saw a large flag embroidered with the word Xiahou flying on the city wall, but they could only become even more silent.
"I just killed an East Sea dragon and saw a giant wild dragon again!" Guo Jia sighed seriously, but then turned to look at Guan Yunchang, the general of Zhendong who was twisting his beard silently beside him, and asked seriously. "General, what should we do?
"
"Just slaughter them!" Guan Yu replied calmly.
I am the dividing line between illness and confusion
"Now that Yu was able to go to Pi and capture all the wives of Zhou Yu, Yu's army was showing signs of collapse. Yu did not dare to hold on, so he gathered 50,000 water infantry and abandoned Tancheng, intending to return east to Pengcheng. At that time, Guo Jia gathered Langya and defeated the army in Liangcheng.
