Dong Xi's hands were tied behind his back, but the cloth from his mouth had been removed.
"Kneel down!"
The soldier who detained Dong Xi shouted loudly, pushed him with his hands, and knocked Dong Xi's thigh with his feet. However, Dong Xi was a tough guy. He stood motionless with his head high and his chest high. He would rather die.
He didn't want to think of Wang Can kneeling down. He stared at Wang Can, glared angrily, and shouted: "Wang Can, you despicable villain, how dare you fight with me in an open and fair manner."
Wang Can smiled and said: "Dong Xi, the soldiers are deceitful. How can I be so despicable?"
While speaking, Wang Can looked at Dong Xi with a smile, a look of admiration flashing in his eyes.
Such a tough guy makes him a pretty good general.
Wang Can said again: "Dong Xi, you want to be fair and aboveboard. Which general under my command are you going to challenge? Look, Lu Meng, Zhang Ren, Zhang Xiu, and Pang De are all here. If you choose one of them
If you fight alone, if you can win, I will let you go immediately; if you lose, what will happen?"
Dong Xi said coldly: "If you lose, you lose. Isn't it just a head?"
Dong Xi was very smart and did not say that he would surrender if he was defeated.
Wang Can said: "It's no wonder that you are still a brave general of the Wu army. You are so naive in what you say. I would like to ask you, are you willing to surrender to me and bring peace to Jiangdong for me?"
Dong Xi immediately said: "Don't even think about it!"
Wang Can said: "Dong Xi, you are determined not to surrender. Don't you regret it?"
Dong Xi raised his head and said, "Whoever regrets it is his grandson."
Wang Can said: "If your family, wife and children died because of you, wouldn't you regret it? You have to think about this matter carefully. People who join the army firstly protect their families and country, and secondly they honor their ancestors.
The third is to make a wife and your son, and the fourth is to make a name for yourself. If all your family members are killed because of you, your persistence will be in vain."
Dong Xi said: "If you want to kill, just kill. How come there is so much nonsense."
Wang Can shook his head and sighed, and said, "Forget it, I will spare your life for now and let you see how your family suffered because of you. Someone, take him down and lock him up."
Suddenly, two soldiers walked in and took Dong Xi down.
Wang Can looked at Shi A and ordered: "Shi A, use Jiang Dong's spy immediately... This matter must be completed as soon as possible without any mistakes."
"promise!"
Shi A responded with cupped fists and immediately left the tent.
Wang Can looked at Guo Jia and Xu Shu and said: "Feng Xiao, Dong Xi has been captured, it's time to lure Sun Yi into the trap. The two of you will handle the next thing together and complete the layout as soon as possible."
"promise!"
Guo Jia and Xu Shu responded with clasped fists and left.
Lu Meng and others then left the camp to train soldiers and reorganize the army to fight again.
…
In Poyang Lake, the endless blue waves are rippling slightly, the water is shining, and the scenery is excellent.
However, the sound of soaring war drums and the passionate sound of horns broke the calm of the lake, making the atmosphere on Poyang Lake tense. Looking at it, dozens of warships were arrayed on the river, arranged on both sides, one of which was
The navy led by Gan Ning, and the navy led by Zhou Yu and Sun Ce on the other side.
When the two armies met, they both took up their positions.
Sun Ce received a message from Taishi Ci and had already decided to divide his troops and go to rescue Zhang Yun.
However, before Sun Ce could leave, Gan Ning's navy arrived.
Gan Ning led 100,000 naval troops to attack with such ferocity that Sun Ce did not dare to separate his troops and leave. Although Sun Ce also had more than 40,000 elite naval troops under his command, he was not afraid of the 100,000 naval troops brought by Gan Ning, but he did not dare to separate his troops. Because
Once Sun Ce leaves with his troops, Gan Ning's more than 40,000 elite troops will have the upper hand, and there will be more than 60,000 weak troops nearby, who will definitely suppress the Jiangdong navy.
In desperation, Sun Ce stayed.
In fact, this battle was already the third day of fighting between the two sides.
The two sides deployed their warships and attacked each other.
This kind of battle was a bloody fight, with heavy casualties. In the three-day battle, the navy under Sun Ce suffered nearly 10,000 casualties, and the navy under Gan Ning also suffered nearly 30,000 casualties.
Even so, the battle between the two sides continues.
On the Shu navy warship, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were wearing armor.
Zhou Tai said in a deep voice: "Xing Ba, nearly half of our 60,000 weak brigade soldiers were killed or injured. If we continue to fight, the casualties may be even more serious. Especially the navy of Wu Army are all elite. Even if they are tired, they are not afraid.
Damn, they currently have nearly 30,000 people, and our 30,000 weak troops cannot resist them. If this continues, we will only have 40,000 strong troops left, and we will lack the resources to supplement our troops!"
Gan Ning smiled and said: "Youping, don't worry, Military Advisor Jia has already formulated a strategy to attack Sun Ce. After today's battle, I will lead my army to retreat twenty miles and set up camp to rest."
Zhou Tai frowned and said, "Why is this?"
Gan Ning smiled and said: "Hehe, just watch quietly, there is no need to worry."
After a pause, Gan Ning shouted: "Start the war!"
With an order, twenty warships brought out by Gan Ning swarmed up and attacked Sun Ce's navy. The two armies met and fought continuously. The red blood flowed from the deck, even dyeing the clear water red.
On the lake. The battle lasted from morning to evening, and both sides ended up losing.
Late at night, Wu Jun's water village.
In the Chinese army's main tent, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce were discussing countermeasures.
The scout who was investigating the news ran in and reported: "The governor, Gan Ning, led the navy to suddenly retreat twenty miles and set up camp."
Zhou Yu waved his hand for the scouts to retreat and said: "Bo Fu, Gan Ning led his troops to attack repeatedly, which made the soldiers on both sides exhausted. They felt uncomfortable, and so did we, especially when Gan Ning led his troops to stop at Er.
Ten miles away, we dare not divide our troops and leave Poyang Lake, otherwise the water village will be attacked again by Gan Ning and be entangled by imps!"
Sun Ce said with a smile: "Gan Ning's navy is tired, we can attack them in one go."
Zhou Yu said: "There is no rush at the moment. We will wait for a few days and then talk about it."
Seeing Zhou Yu's determination, Sun Ce did not immediately refute, but nodded in acquiescence.
…
Qichun County, sixty miles west of the city suburbs.
Sun Yi came with his army and was already in Qichun County. Although this was Dong Xi's former station, Dong Xi led his army to Wuchang County, and Sun Yi had to continue on his way after arriving in Qichun County.
When the army was galloping, a group of soldiers wearing Wu's uniform fled back in disgrace.
These soldiers were in ragged clothes and looked tired. They had run a long way.
After they appeared, the spies sent by Sun Yi immediately detected this group of soldiers, and then reported the news to Sun Yi. At that moment, Sun Yi found the generals of this group of defeated soldiers and asked: "Whose team do you belong to, and why?"
Are you in such a state of embarrassment?”
The general knelt on the ground and said with a cry: "Third Young Master, we have fallen into a trap, we have fallen into a trap!"
Sun Yi raised his eyebrows and asked, "What kind of trick did you fall into?"
The general wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said with a choked voice: "General Dong went to Wuchang County to rescue Zhang Yun. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yun, a wolf-hearted person, had already surrendered to Wang Can and became Wang Can's man, which put General Dong in trouble. General Dong
After making various preparations in advance and welcoming Zhang Yun outside the city of Wuchang County, he was ambushed by the Shu army. Now General Dong is trapped on Nanwang Mountain, relying on the mountains and forests to block the attack, and asked the Third Young Master to rescue the general."
"Please Third Young Master to rescue the general!"
When the other soldiers heard this, they knelt on the ground and begged Sun Yi for rescue.
After hearing this, Sun Yi cursed: "Zhang Yun, when I catch you, I will cut you into pieces." He drew his sword and shouted: "You all get up, change your clothes, and follow me to the rescue. Dong Xi."
"Thank you, Third Young Master!"
Everyone thanked and kowtowed to Sun Yi.
"General, Dong Xi is besieged. If we go to rescue him, we will encounter many obstacles, and we may face Wang Can's army. This is quite dangerous!"
A general rode up and suggested loudly.
Sun Yi immediately shouted: "Dong Xi is in danger, how can he not send troops? If you are trapped, I will send troops to rescue you. Okay, don't say persuasion, I have my own sense of proportion. The most important thing now is Rushing to Wuchang County in the shortest possible time and heading to Nanwang Mountain to rescue Dong Xi is the top priority."
Seeing this, the surrounding generals could only agree.
Sun Yi Qiangang made a decisive decision and led his soldiers towards Wuchang County.
