Dong Xi led his troops and stationed here, waiting for Wang Can's arrival.
Compared with Zhang Yun, Dong Xi's approach was different. He directly recruited 3,000 soldiers from Qichun County to make up the number of 6,000 people. He also asked the magistrate of Qichun County to supply grain, grass, ordnance, and put his own troops into the army.
Get equipped.
In this way, Dong Xi's strength was more than doubled compared to when he came out.
While stationed, Dong Xi sent hundreds of scouts to continuously inquire about news about Wang Can's army. He also ordered people to inquire about Zhang Yun's news to ensure that the battle ahead could be reported back as quickly as possible.
Especially when will Wang Can arrive in Qichun County? Dong Xi must have a clear grasp.
Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you fight a hundred battles without danger.
In the commander's tent, Dong Xi's desk was already piled with various bamboo slips, all containing news about Wang Can and Zhang Yun.
At this moment, Dong Xi was training soldiers in the army.
He put his hands behind his back and carefully inspected the training situation in each barracks in the army. A soldier quickly ran to Dong Xi's side and whispered a few words. Dong Xi's expression changed. He reached out to find the training tool for the soldiers.
The general asked the general to continue training the soldiers, and Dong Xi quickly returned to the commander's tent. When he walked into the commander's tent, he saw a sentry standing respectfully inside, but he looked tired, obviously due to the continuous rush.
Dong Xi was not polite and asked directly: "Tell me, what happened to Dong Xi?"
The sentry quickly untied the bamboo slip from his back, handed it to Dong Xi, clasped his fists and said, "General Dong Xi, General Zhang Yun ordered this villain to send it all the way through the night. Please take a look at it."
Dong Xi nodded, spread out the bamboo slips and looked at it carefully.
After reading it, Dong Xi's expression changed drastically.
Dong Xi asked in a deep voice: "Is Wuchang County really surrounded and Zhang Yun has been defeated?"
The sentry replied truthfully: "Reporting to the general, Wuchang County has been surrounded by the Shu army, and there is only one out of three. After observing it, General Zhang Yun thought that Wang Can deliberately let him escape. General Zhang Yun did the opposite.
We still stay in Wuchang County. As for the defeat, the general will soon get the news of General Zhang Yun's defeat. There are more than 3,000 people, not even one out of ten."
After a pause, the sentinel asked again: "General Dong attacked, the villain has to return to Wuchang County to reply. Will you send troops to rescue General Zhang Yun? Please make a decision as soon as possible."
Dong Xi waved his hand and said: "You go down and wait, I will raise the account immediately."
The sentry left the tent, and the generals in the army rushed over after receiving Dong Xi's order.
Dong Xi looked at his generals and talked about Zhang Yun before he said: "Zhang Yun of Wuchang County was defeated by Wang Can, and not one of the three thousand soldiers was left alive. The situation is now critical, and I am ready to send troops to rescue Zhang Yun."
, and then return to Qichun County immediately, what do you think?"
After the words fell, a person immediately stood up and objected loudly: "General, the task given to us by General Taishi is to harass. We only need to harass the Shu army and make the Shu army soldiers weak and exhausted. This is the main purpose. Zhang Yun took the initiative to go there himself
Attacking Wang Can's army led to their defeat and defending Wuchang was Zhang Yun's own humiliation, which has nothing to do with us."
After hearing this, Dong Xi frowned slightly.
He didn't like giving up his comrades.
Another general said: "General, even though Zhang Yun is defeated, he still has a certain chance of fighting his way out of Wuchang County. Think about it for yourself. It's weird for Zhang Yun to defend Wuchang County. We will see if this means Zhang Yun has surrendered.
He killed Wang Can and deliberately lured our troops to rescue him? So that we could fall into a trap."
Dong Xi shook his head and said: "Zhang Yun's parents, wife and children are all in Jiujiang, and Zhang Yun has a strong temperament and will definitely not surrender. Even if Zhang Yun is greedy and loses, we cannot say that he surrendered."
When the general heard this, he retreated in dismay.
At this time, another person said: "General, Zhang Yun will not surrender, but he has the opportunity to leave. No one can deny this. Our mission is to harass Wang Can. If he leaves his post without authorization, how will he explain to General Taishi?"
.”
Dong Xi said in a deep voice: "Of course I will send a message to General Taishi to inform him of this matter."
Immediately, Dong Xi said again: "Your problem is nothing more than leaving your post without permission for fear of being ambushed. I will never enter the city when I go this time, and I will ask the messenger to reply to Zhang Yun and let Zhang Yun make an appointment.
We have time to rush out of Wuchang County. At that time, I will lead the army to rescue him and take him away. Our goal is not to fight Wang Can, but to rescue Zhang Yun."
After hearing Dong Xi's words, the generals remained silent.
No matter what, as long as Dong Xi went, they felt that there would definitely be danger.
Wang Can came with a large army. They only had 6,000 people. How much effect could they have?
Seeing that everyone was silent, Dong Xi suddenly became furious. He stood up from his seat and shouted: "A bunch of cowards, are you Jiangdong's soldiers? My comrades were in danger, but I stood by and watched. I feel ashamed for this."
Wang Can is unstoppable, I understand, but we don’t have to fight Wang Can head-on. We only need to wait for Zhang Yun to lead his troops and rush out, and we can completely solve the problem with a hand. It’s a pity, it’s a pity that Wang Can’s banner is out.
, you have all become cowards, and I am ashamed to be with you."
"My comrades are in trouble. The road ahead is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire. I have to fight through it."
"You don't want to go, that's fine, I'll go alone."
"Even if it's one person and one horse, I will go to Wuchang County to rescue Zhang Yun. Isn't it Wang Can's army? I have one person, one horse, one sword and one horse, so what should I be afraid of?"
Dong Xi flicked his sleeves and walked outside as he spoke.
He was indeed very angry and disappointed with the soldiers under his command.
It is true that there are many difficulties and certain dangers in this trip, but if a comrade is in trouble, if he does not go to the rescue and just sit back and watch Zhang Yun be captured by Wang Can, it is difficult for Dong Xi to agree. Furthermore, Dong Xi has another sentence
What was left unsaid was that Zhang Yun said in the document that Dong Xi would surrender without raising troops to rescue him. Therefore, Dong Xi believed that Zhang Yun did not surrender and was still persisting.
"General, the last general is willing to go!"
Seeing Dong Xi walking straight out, a general stood up and shouted loudly.
"General, what lies ahead is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, and I am willing to go there too!"
"I will go there eventually!"
"The last general is willing to send troops with the general!"
All the generals in the tent looked ashamed when Dong Xi said this. They all stood up and followed Dong Xi closely. They knew in their hearts the danger of going there, but they were persuaded by Dong Xi.
Dong Xi then stopped, looked back at everyone, and nodded slightly.
Soldiers must not be afraid of death.
Sometimes, even though he knew there was danger ahead, he still had to rush forward because he had no choice. Dong Xi had his own persistence, so even though he knew there was danger, he still chose to raise troops to support without hesitation.
…
After receiving the message from Dong Xi in Jiujiang, Taishi Ci felt very anxious.
Zhang Yun fell into Wuchang County and did not retreat. Now Dong Xi ignored the original arrangement and sent troops to rescue. Two people were immediately involved in the war in Wuchang County. Although Dong Xi's letter clearly stated that he would not fight Wang Can, things did not happen.
It is not controlled by Dong Xi. Once the war between the two sides begins, it will no longer be controlled by Dong Xi.
Taishi Ci was anxious and immediately wrote a letter. Then he summoned his soldiers and ordered them to deliver the letter to Zhou Yu and Sun Ce.
At this time, we have to rely on Sun Ce and Zhou Yu to provide support, hoping to avoid this war.
…
Poyang Lake, in the water village of Wu Jun.
Zhou Yu and Sun Ce were sitting opposite each other. Sun Ce was browsing Taishi Ci's letter, and Zhou Yu was sitting quietly next to him. After Sun Ce read it, Zhou Yu asked: "Gong Jin, what did Ziyi say in the letter?"
Sun Ce handed the letter to Zhou Yu. After Zhou Yu read it, Sun Ce said: "Zhang Yun and Dong Xi were involved in the war in Wuchang County, and the situation was very dangerous. At the same time, the third brother Sun Yi had a strong temper and always wanted to attack Wang Can.
Once he gets the news from Wuchang County, he will definitely lead his soldiers to attack and go to Wuchang County to fight Wang Can. In this way, the place of battle will be Wuchang County instead, and the situation will be very unfavorable."
Zhou Yu sighed: "Oh, Wang Can is so powerful that he easily destroyed all Ziyi's arrangements. Now, everything is going according to Wang Can's arrangements, and the situation is getting more and more difficult to control."
Sun Ce's eyes flashed and he said in a deep voice: "Gong Jin, Wang Can is planning, why don't we take action? Especially Gan Ning's navy, this is the real big problem for our army!"
Seeing this, Zhou Yu sighed repeatedly in his heart.
Sun Ce was doing well just now, but now in the blink of an eye, Sun Ce also wanted to get involved. This gave Zhou Yu a headache and felt that things were getting more and more complicated.
