With Cao Cao's order, Dian Wei protected Cao Cao, Xu Chu, Pei Renji and his son broke off, Yuwen Chengdu and Ran Min and Qi Jiguang after the rendezvous, seeing Cao Jun retreating, he did not dare to pursue easily, so the three of them each led their troops to withdraw in the direction of Qichun. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It didn't take long for them to meet Chen Qingzhi's army, Qi Jiguang finally put his mind at ease, at this time Qi Jiguang was covered in blood, he rode his horse to meet him, and arched his hand to Chen Qingzhi: "The last general will see General Chen!" ”

Chen Xu turned over and dismounted, looking at the entire army like this, he sighed in his heart, "General Qi, General Ran, General Yuwen!" Let's go back! The soldiers are now suffering heavy casualties and are physically and mentally exhausted, you are in front, and I will lead the troops behind. ”

Qi Jiguang's Qi family army and Ran Min's iron-blooded divine cavalry both suffered huge casualties, and only Yuwen Chengdu's Shenwei army joined the battlefield last, so the casualties were smaller. Chen Qingzhi didn't dare to come out of the army because of Zhou Yu's army, so he let Qin Zhao, Xu Huang and others stay in Xunyang to beware of Zhou Yu's sneak attack.

The army finally returned to Qichun, and Qi Jiguang immediately asked people to find the best doctor in the city to treat Zhou Tai's injuries, although Zhou Tai suffered more than a dozen large and small injuries, fortunately he did not hurt the vital points, but he bled too much and his body was weak.

In this battle, except for 2,000 people in the naval army under Qi Jiguang, most of the 4,000 soldiers and horses who took the land route were lost, and only more than 1,000 people remained; Ran Min's Iron Blood God Rider also lost half.

Qi Jiguang wrote down the battle situation in Jiangxia and the current situation of Cao Cao and Sun Quan, and asked Wu Liren to punish him for his dereliction of duty. A few days later, after Wu Liren received Qi Jiguang's recital on the way to Jingzhou, he rushed to Qi Chun.

After Cao Cao and Wenpin's army rounded, the inspection was damaged, and the 20,000 army lost five or six thousand people in this battle, which is nothing, but he was not able to take Qi Jiguang, which is the thing he regrets the most.

At this time, Xun You walked over and said to Cao Cao: "Prime Minister, General Cai Mao sent someone to deliver a letter, everything is ready, waiting for the Prime Minister's order." ”

Cao Cao nodded, and said to the people around him: "Let Cai Mao act according to the plan, there must be no mistakes; In addition, the generals immediately put their troops on standby. ”

Xiakou.

After Sun Quan heard the news that Cao Cao's army pursued Qi Jiguang and returned from a fiasco, he laughed and said to his soldiers: "People say that Cao Cao is good at using soldiers, but today I saw it like this!" He didn't understand the truth that the poor should not chase, not to mention that Qi Jiguang was not a remnant of the defeated army and would retreat. ”

After hearing this, Fang Wending smiled and said: "The second prince can't say this, although Cao Cao failed to win, but the main force of soldiers and horses still exists, and we can't underestimate it." ”

"General Fang's words are reasonable, general, it would be a good thing if Cao Cao and Qi Jiguang could both lose, otherwise when Qi Jiguang eased up, he would inevitably raise a large army to Xiakou to ask for the guilt, and then it would inevitably be another vicious battle."

Fang Wending's words made Sun Quan feel a little unhappy in his heart, he just regarded Fang Wending as Sun Ce's henchman in his eyes, so even if he had a lot of criticism for him, he never showed it.

"In this battle, Cao Cao and Wu Ming lost their troops and lost their generals, but they all gained nothing, and only I have the land of Jiangxia, no matter what you say, this is a great honor, what do the generals think?"

Zhang Yu hurriedly stepped forward and pretended to admire: "General Sun is wise and martial, no less than the style of his father, it is really my luck!" ”

Although the rest of the generals were a little reluctant, no one wanted to refute Sun Quan's face in public, so they had to go along with it. Sun knew it in his heart, and he didn't care, "Cao Cao's army is still stationed in Jiangxia, so all the soldiers need to be cautious and not take it lightly." ”

"I'll take my orders!"

Since Sun Quan transferred Huang Gai and his 10,000 troops stationed in Jiangling to Xiling, there are only 5,000 soldiers and horses in Jiangling today.

At this time, Li Liang, the deputy general in the city, was carefully patrolling the city wall, and at this moment, he suddenly saw a large number of ships faintly coming towards Jiangling on the river in the distance, and he suddenly became nervous in his heart, and hurriedly ordered all the soldiers to mobilize.

After half an hour, the fleet slowly sailed to the foot of Jiangling City, and at this time Li Liang saw clearly that the flags on the ship were clearly written "Cao" and "Cai".

Li Liang secretly said in his heart: Cao Cao and the lord formed an alliance to discuss Wu Ming, what is Cai Mao doing here at this time? Could it be that I can't do it in Nanjun?

At this time, I saw one of the big boats slowly approaching, and a general walked out of the boat, shouting to Li Liang in the city: "I am Cai Mao in the south of the town under the command of Prime Minister Cao Cheng, and this time I am ordered by the prime minister of my family to send troops to intercept Qi Jiguang's army from the river." It's just that our army is short of supplies, and I hope that the general can borrow food from me because of the alliance between the prime minister and Sun Tingshi, and he will pay it back one day. ”

When Li Liang heard this, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed in his heart: if he borrowed him, he didn't know how much he would borrow, and if Cai Mao had bad intentions, then Jiangling would definitely not be protected; If he didn't borrow it, Cai Mao could also use this as an excuse to attack Jiangling on a large scale. Cai Mao's army looks like there are 10,000 or 20,000, and he only has 5,000 soldiers and horses under his command, how can he stop Cai Mao. He is now in a dilemma, thinking of Huang Gai's instructions before leaving, he has an idea in his heart, and shouted to Cai Mao: "General Cai, the last general is General Huang Gai's deputy general Li Liang, and now that General Huang is not here, the last general will not dare to call the shots." I wonder if you can ask the last general to ask General Huang first? ”

When Cai Mao heard this, she immediately shook her head, "If it was after you asked for your life, Qi Jiguang would have escaped a long time ago!" If this is the case and it damages the prime minister's great cause, can you afford it? Or maybe General Li didn't want to borrow grain? ”

Li Liang saw that Cai Mao was a little angry at this time, he gritted his teeth and replied, "Since this is the case, then Rong Mo will go and prepare first, and how about handing over the grain in three days?" ”

Li Liang wanted to delay it for a few days, wait until he sent someone to pass the news to Sun Quan, and then he could hold on until Sun Quan returned to his division to rescue.

"Three days?" Cai Mao pondered there for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay, then three days, and then you will prepare 100,000 stones of grain and grass for me, not a single stone." ”

Seeing Cai Mao's answer, Li Liang was overjoyed, and thanked Cai Mao: "Thank you General Cai for your grace!" After three days, 100,000 stones of grain and grass will inevitably be prepared. ”

After Li Liang returned, he immediately prepared superstitions, and asked people to leave the city overnight and go to Xiakou to inform Sun Quan, and at the same time, he ordered the officers and men of the three armies to eat and drink enough to prepare for the big battle three days later.

That night, the night breeze gently stirred the river, pushing the river water against Gangneung Castle. The defenders of Gangneung City did not dare to relax at this time, and cautiously stared at the changes on the river.

At this moment, he suddenly saw many ships not far away slowly sailing towards Gangneung City, and the soldiers on duty were suddenly shocked and immediately sent out the signal of an enemy attack.

Li Liang was still asleep at this time, and when someone reported that Cai Mao intended to attack Jiangling, he was surprised, he never expected that Cai Mao would launch an attack that night, although three days is a bit long, but it will take at least one day to prepare. Cai Mao did this, could it be that the goal from the beginning was this Jiangling?

Li Liang didn't have time to think about anything, so he immediately put on his armor and ordered the army to gather urgently. When Li Liang led the army to the city wall, something happened that he couldn't figure out: Cai Mao's army had already attacked Jiangling!

At this time, a soldier ran towards the city in a panic, and when he saw Li Liang, he immediately reported: "The general is not good, the inner Ying in Jiangling City has secretly opened the city gate and let Cai Mao into the city, the general should flee quickly!" ”

Escape? Li Liang couldn't laugh in his heart, Jiangling was captured by Cai Mao in one day, even if he fled back, Huang Gai or Sun Quan would not easily spare himself, besides, where else could he escape at this time!

Li Liang suddenly ascended to the top at this time and shouted: "Soldiers, what Cai Mao is leading now is the army of the Son of Heaven, and his name is justified; Now that Jiangling has been broken, I might as well surrender and save my life, if I resist, I will inevitably burn all the jade. Are you willing to surrender to the Prime Minister's army with me? ”

Most of the troops in Jiangling City are newly recruited, and at this time, who of them would be willing to give up their chances of survival for the sake of the Sun family. Besides, Li Liang took the lead in shouting, who wouldn't want to be a soldier?

Cai Mao's soldiers took Jiangling without blood, and surrendered Li Liang and thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, he was very happy in his heart, and sighed: "The prime minister is really like a god!" In the future, the world will inevitably be the prime minister! ”

Cai Mao brought Li Liang over, and after chatting with him for a while, he then selected 2,000 elites from the naval army under his command, replaced them with the armor and banner of Sun Jun, and let Li Liang lead him to Xiakou, and then led another 10,000 troops to follow.

After Sun Quan received Li Liang's secret letter, his face instantly changed to a different look, at this moment he didn't know what to do, and in desperation, he immediately asked Gan Ning, Fang Wending, Zhang Yu and others to come together to discuss countermeasures.

After Sun Quan finished talking about the situation in Jiangling and the generals, Zhang Yu thought for a moment and then got up and replied: "General Sun, Jiangling City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, since General Li can hold Cai Mao for three days, then the general should immediately send a large army to the rescue." As long as General Li holds on for another three or five days, when the general's army and General Li attack inside and outside, Cai Mao will definitely be broken! I hope that the general will make a quick decision, and it will change later! ”

The importance of Jiangling, no one said, everyone present knows that if it is lost, the throat of the Yangtze River will be lost.

"Good! Gan Ning, Fang Wending, order the two of you to lead the naval army under your command to rescue Jiangling immediately, there must be no mistake! ”

Hearing that Sun Quan put Gan Ning's name in front of him, Fang Wending didn't know whether Sun Quan was intentional or unintentional, but now that the situation was critical, he was just a little stunned and didn't think too much.

The two took about 10,000 sailors under their command and immediately went to Jiangling, while Zhang Yu and Sun Quan left 10,000 troops to garrison in Xiakou, and at the same time sent someone to inform Huang Gai to abandon Xiling and return to Xiakou and Sun Quan's army.

Gan Ning and Fang Wending were halfway through, and they saw the "defeated army" led by Li Liang coming towards them, Li Liang was Huang Gai's deputy general, and Gan Ning and Fang Wending naturally knew each other. When they saw Li Liang, they knew in their hearts that Jiangling must have been lost. At the same time, Cai Mao's army, which followed closely behind Li Liang's army, was still unrelenting.

Fang Wending immediately ordered people to let Li Liang's army go over, and at the same time lined up in formation, preparing to intercept Cai Mao's army.

"General Lee, what happened? How did Gangneung lose it? ”

Li Liang was disgraced at this time, sighed and said: "Cai Mao has an old department in Jiangling, and secretly opened the city gate overnight to let Cai Mao's army enter the city, so Jiangling was lost. The subordinates fought desperately, and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, but they didn't know how to explain to the general when they went back! I also hope that General Fang can help the last general with a few good words. ”

Li Liang's sincere eyes at this moment made Fang Wending deeply touched, "General Li, please rest assured, this defeat is not the general's fault, and now is the time to employ people, the second prince will definitely not embarrass the general." ”

At this time, Cai Mao's army had already surrounded him, and Gan Ning and Fang Wending led the troops to kill him. Not long after the two armies fought, Fang Wending suddenly heard a commotion behind him, and the sound of killing was everywhere.

"What the hell is going on?"

Fang Wending hurriedly asked people to check, and it didn't take long for someone to report in a panic: Li Liang has defected to the enemy! The soldiers under his command were all Cao Jun.

At this time, Cai Mao and Li Liang were caught between the front and back, which suddenly made Fang Wending and Gan Ning's army formation chaotic, and seeing the sudden change in the situation, Fang Wending was so angry that he wanted to swallow Li Liangsheng alive. "Li Liang, I swear to kill you!"

"General Fang, the situation is critical now, hurry up and break through! Jiangling has been lost, I'm afraid Jiangxia can't be guaranteed, I'd better hurry back to Xiakou and withdraw to Changsha together! ”

In desperation, Fang Wending had no choice but to order the army to start breaking through, but in such a chaotic situation, it was very difficult to convey the order.

Arrows on the river were like rain, shooting at each other, Gan Ning escorted Fang Wending all the way out, at this moment, Gan Ning suddenly saw that the boat not far away was Li Liang's, and at this moment Li Liang was directing the battle on the boat.

"The last general is willing to take the head of Li Liang's horse and sacrifice it to General Fang!"

Seeing Gan Ning's resolute expression, Fang Wen nodded and said solemnly: "Xingba be careful, after this battle, no matter whether you can kill Li Liang or not, the grievances between me and you will be completely written off!" ”

Gan Ning led dozens of people, drove a small boat, and slowly rowed towards Li Liang's big boat. In the midst of the chaos, Li Liang didn't care much about such a small boat, and when he was about to get closer, he asked people to shoot arrows at the small boat, and after a while, he shot Gan Ning's small boat into a sieve

And Gan Ning had already jumped down, jumped into the river, and quietly dived towards Li Liang's boat. When he got to the bottom of the boat, he took out the hook around his waist and threw it at the boat. At this time, no one noticed Gan Ning's existence, and after a while, Gan Ning successfully boarded the big ship.

After killing a few Cao Jun, he grabbed a spear and attacked Li Liang directly.

"Li Liang, let's die!"

At this time, Li Liang saw the person in front of him clearly, how could he not know Gan Ning, the person who had killed Fang La, the commander of the water army.

In a panic, Li Liang was so frightened that he ran around, Gan Ning grabbed the spear in his hand and threw it at Li Liang, and the spear instantly sank into Li Liang's body.

Gan Ning succeeded in one blow, and he didn't have time to be happy, because at this moment, more Cao Jun had already surrounded him, and he jumped again and jumped from the boat into the vast river.

Seeing that Gan Ning had taken Li Liang's head among the ten thousand armies, he couldn't help but admire: "Gan Xingba is really the tiger general of the world!" Come on, send another boat down, no matter what, to save General Gan! ”

Although Gan Ning killed Li Liang desperately, he still couldn't change the fate of Fang Wending's fiasco defeat, after Sun Quan heard it, the whole person was stupid, "It's over, it's all over now!" Cao Cao, Cao Cao! Cao Cao! ”
