Chapter 973: Zhou Yu is captured

Zhou Yu's cronies saw that their lord was shot and injured by that Wu general, and they were immediately furious, and they wanted to avenge Zhou Yu, but they were worried about Zhou Yu's safety, so they had to give up. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Lord, lord, lord."

The cronies helped Zhou Yu up, guarded him firmly, and shouted loudly.

"The Governor is dead!"

"The Governor is dead!"

"The Governor is dead!"

The shouts grew louder and louder, and soon all the Eastern Wu soldiers heard the news and began to panic.

In the midst of the chaos, once the chaos begins, it is difficult to put the army in order, and the generals who take the lead in the chaos are their own generals.

Therefore, when Wu Jun learned the news of Zhou Yu's death in battle and faced the overwhelming number of arrows, he immediately followed the military general and fled in a hurry.

At this time, the vast majority of Wu troops had not yet fully entered the canyon.

It didn't take long for there to be more than 2,000 Eastern Wu soldiers left in this canyon, and they were all true henchmen under Zhou Yu's command.

Among these people, even though many of them had heard the news of Zhou Yu's killing, and they couldn't figure out the details, they still stayed steadfastly.

"Governor, Governor, Governor!"

The remaining soldiers braved the rain of arrows and shouted loudly, hoping to find Zhou Yu's body.

"Don't panic, the Metropolitan Governor is not dead, the thief just rebelled, and the Metropolitan Governor was also shot and injured by him."

After a personal guard checked Zhou Yu's injury, he saw that he was not worried about his life, so he immediately stood up and shouted loudly.

These soldiers, who were absolutely loyal to Zhou Yu, were all happy and angry when they heard the news, and they gathered towards Zhou Yu one after another.

They were happy because Zhou Yu was not worried about his life, but they were angry because that Wu General dared to plot against Zhou Yu, which made everyone angry.

"Ahem, pass on my military order, retreat quickly!"

On both sides of the canyon, more and more arrows and stones were thrown down from above, and the casualties of those Eastern Wu soldiers who were loyal to Zhou Yu became bigger and bigger.

At this time, where did Zhou Yu still not understand what was going on?

Feeling that this time he received an order to send troops to Liangzhou, it was completely a trap, Sun Quan must have informed Chen Xu a long time ago, and Chen Xu set up an ambush here.

The Wu general who shot Zhou Yu just now must have been an undercover agent sent by Sun Quan next to Zhou Yu, who went to the canyon to investigate and deliberately said that there was no ambush, and then took the opportunity to shoot and wound Zhou Yu to cause chaos in the Wu army.

"I never thought that I, Zhou Yu, would die here today because I was plotted by the villain."

Although Zhou Yu gave the order to break through, he was calculated by both sides, and he did not have the confidence to rush out alive.

It's just that these soldiers are Zhou Yu's henchmen, if even he gave up his escape, how can he be worthy of these soldiers?

"Boom!"

Suddenly a large rock rolled down from the canyon, blocking most of the exit, and then a lot of dry wood fell from the sky.

When Zhou Yu saw this, he immediately felt a chill in his heart, and couldn't help crying left and right: "I can't escape from the burning canyon, it's me who has caused you to suffer." ”

After speaking, Zhou Yu's tears rained down.

The soldiers of Eastern Wu who followed Zhou Yu, although they had a panicked look on their faces, shouted in unison: "I am willing to die with the governor!" ”

"I want to die with the Governor!"

"I want to die with the Governor!"

The loud voice echoed in the canyon, and even Gan Ning and Guan Ping, who were lying in ambush on it, could hear it clearly.

Guan Ping immediately said to Gan Ning: "The soldiers of Eastern Wu in the canyon are all loyal and righteous people, if possible, I hope that the general will give an order to spare their lives." ”

Loyal men are admired in all eras, even when they are on the other side of the enemy.

Guan Ping has been exposed to it since he was a child, and he naturally attaches great importance to loyalty and righteousness, so when he saw the appearance of the soldiers of Eastern Wu, he couldn't help but feel compassion.

Of course, this is also because the Guanzhong Army has the upper hand and can control the overall situation.

And before leaving, Chen Xu deliberately secretly told Guan Ping to capture Zhou Yusheng alive if possible, so as not to harm Zhou Yu's life.

Gan Ning hated Zhou Yu to the bone, and hated to eat his flesh raw.

However, he also admired the integrity of those Eastern Wu soldiers, but he was unwilling to let Zhou Yu go, and said: "These people are all enemy soldiers, so why kill them?" ”

The battle of Xiaopingjin still makes Gan Ning remember it vividly, and the shame of being captured makes Gan Ning angry every moment.

Finally found an opportunity today, how could he let Zhou Yu go?

Guan Ping naturally knew a lot about Gan Ning's thoughts, and immediately said with a smile: "Has the general ever thought that if Zhou Yu is captured, wouldn't it be better to humiliate this person than to burn him to death on the spot?" ”

After speaking, Guan Ping looked at Gan Ning with a smile.

Gan Ning thought about it for a while, and felt that it was very reasonable, for people like Zhou Yu, sometimes the humiliation of being captured was far greater than dying in battle.

What's more, Zhou Yu captured Gan Ning at the beginning and persuaded Gan Ning to surrender with the attitude of a victor.

Of course, it was not Gan Ning's small-bellied chicken intestines, but in the original water war, there were countless Guanzhong sailors who were burned to death by Zhou Yu.

And it was also because of Zhou Yu that Xiaopingjin was lost, causing Chen Xu to be forced to withdraw to Hangu Pass, which also laid the foundation for Keiguan to be defeated in the future.

Gan Ning's mood is very complicated, which includes not only anger, but also self-blame and guilt.

At this moment, the soldiers on the canyon had already lit torches, and as long as Gan Ning gave an order, they could burn Zhou Yu and the others alive.

Gan Ning didn't give an order, but shouted to Zhou Yu below: "You are now in ambush, if you don't want to die, put down your arms and surrender!" ”

Zhou Yu's corporal was already determined to die, but when he suddenly heard Gan Ning's shout, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

The cronies immediately said to Zhou Yu: "Dadu Governor, this Zhongfu must be the obstruction of King Wu, since he treats Dadu Governor like this, it is better for us to simply surrender to the King of Qin than to be killed by a traitor." ”

Zhou Yu thought for a while when he heard this, and then said, "Since this is the case, then throw away the weapon and surrender." ”

When everyone heard Zhou Yu's words, they immediately felt that they had escaped death, and they were overjoyed, and they threw their weapons on the ground one after another.

When Gan Ning saw that the Eastern Wu soldiers threw away their weapons, he sent people down first to collect the weapons of the Eastern Wu soldiers.

In fact, there are only more than 2,000 soldiers and horses on the canyon, and they are all county soldiers from Beidi County, Liangzhou.

When Chen Xu got the secret report and knew that Zhou Yu was going to lead a large army to attack Liangzhou, he immediately panicked.

Liangzhou is located in the rear of Guanzhong, for this decisive battle, the territory of the soldiers and horses have been requisitioned, almost in a state of defense, leaving only a few soldiers and horses to maintain law and order.

If Zhou Yu is allowed to lead the army into Liangzhou, the consequences will be unimaginable.

But when the news was obtained, it was too late to send troops from Chang'an to rescue, and sending troops north would definitely alarm Zhou Yu.

After discussing with the strategists, Chen Xu simply let Gan Ning and Guan Ping receive military orders, rode fast horses and rushed to Beidi County in the starry night, and then recruited soldiers and horses in the territory and set up an ambush in the place where Zhou Yu must pass.

It's just that the combat effectiveness of these two thousand county soldiers is very low, if it weren't for the natural danger of the Grand Canyon, they would not be the opponent of Zhou Yu's two thousand soldiers at all.

Therefore, Gan Ning was still so cautious after the soldiers of Eastern Wu threw away their weapons.

In fact, before this, Wu Jiang, who was plotting against Zhou Yu, also secretly sent someone to meet Gan Ning and make an appointment to ambush Zhou Yu here.

Otherwise, without General Wu as an internal response, even if Gan Ning set up an ambush here, he may not be able to succeed.

After a long time, the exit of the canyon was cleared, and the soldiers of Guan also tied up the soldiers of Dongwu.

It was only at this time that Zhou Yu discovered that there were not many Guanzhong troops ambushed on the canyon.

Moreover, most of these horses are county soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is not strong.

"That's true."

Seeing this, Zhou Yu has completely confirmed his guess, knowing that someone must have leaked the secret to Chen Xu in advance, and it is self-evident who the leaker is.

"Zhou Gongjin, we met again, but I didn't expect you to surrender so easily."

Gan Ning came to Zhou Yu's side, with a sneer on his face, looking at Zhou Yu condescendingly.

Zhou Yu was not angry because of Gan Ning's actions, and stroked his somewhat disheveled hair, but saluted Gan Ning and said, "Thank you General Gan's men for their mercy." ”

Gan Ning became more and more disdainful when he heard this, and sneered: "I thought you were a hero, but I never thought that you were also greedy for life and afraid of death, it really disappointed me." ”

Guan Ping hurriedly pulled Ganning's sleeve and whispered, "The general is cautious." ”

Gan Ning snorted coldly, glanced at Zhou Yu, and did not continue to fall into the well, otherwise he would only appear to be narrow.

Zhou Yu always had a gentle smile on his face, without the slightest consciousness of a defeated general, but Gan Ning's actions angered Zhou Yu's corporaries.

"Thief general, Hugh wants to insult my governor!"

A soldier stared at Gan Ning with a round eye, gritting his teeth and looking at Gan Ning, even in the face of the heavily armed Guan soldiers around him, he was not afraid at all.

"Soldiers can be killed, but they cannot be humiliated, even if we surrender, we will definitely not watch the Metropolitan Governor be humiliated!"

The rest of the Eastern Wu soldiers in the vicinity were also indignant and glared at Gan Ning angrily.

"Boom!"

Gan Ning was furious when he heard this, immediately drew his sword in his hand, looked around at the prisoners of the Eastern Wu soldiers and shouted: "Who dares to talk nonsense again, there will be no mercy!" ”

"If you want to kill or chop, listen to it!"

Even as a prisoner, there were still not a few bloody soldiers in Eastern Wu, and they didn't pay attention to Gan Ning's threat at all.

Gan Ning was furious and was about to order the slaughter of the prisoners, but was stopped by Guan Ping.

Zhou Yu also hurriedly scolded his subordinates, and then saluted Gan Ning again, and said: "I thank the general, not because the general spared me, but because the general did not order to burn my sons." ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Yu sighed and said, "They have such an end, they are all affected by me, how can I bear them to die here." ”

"I only hope that the general will treat them well."

After speaking, Zhou Yu suddenly stepped forward, pulled out the sword in Gan Ning's waist, and wiped it on his neck.

Gan Ning suddenly saw Zhou Yu's movements, and was horrified, and after seeing Zhou Yu's intention to kill himself, he actually stood on the spot.

He couldn't understand why the guy who surrendered very easily, even if he was humiliated by his own nose, still had a smile on his face, suddenly became so strong.

In fact, if it was for the sake of his subordinates, how could Zhou Yu agree to surrender?

It's just that although Zhou Yu has the heart to be generous and righteous, he can't bear to look at these sons and daughters who are loyal to him, because he died here alone.

"Boom!"

Fortunately, Guan Ping reacted very quickly, and when he couldn't make a move, he waved the big knife in his hand and directly knocked the sword in Zhou Yu's hand away.

It's just that there is already a blood mark on Zhou Yu's neck, if Guan Fang moves a little slower by half a beat, Zhou Yu will die on the spot.

"Governor, Governor, Governor!"

When the rest of the Eastern Wu soldiers saw this, they were all horrified in their hearts, and they shouted loudly.

"Ahem."

The saber was knocked away, and Zhou Yu almost fell to the ground unsteadily, with an arrow wound on his left arm, and half of his body was stained red with blood.

"Governor, why are you like this?"

A personal guard pounced and wanted to bandage Zhou Yu's wounds, but his hands were tied and he couldn't move at all.

Zhou Yu pushed him away, shook his head and said, "You can all surrender, but I can't surrender." ”

Then Zhou Yu set his eyes on Gan Ning, and raised his head and said: "I have heard that the Guanzhong army does not kill the surrender soldiers, and I will be relieved after these soldiers surrender, the general will do it." ”

After speaking, Zhou Yu closed his eyes.

At this time, Gan Ning came back to his senses, and his eyes were a little complicated when he looked at Zhou Yu.

"It seems that Fang is the one who misunderstood Zhou Yu."

In fact, when Gan Ning followed Guan Ping's advice and asked Zhou Yu to surrender on the canyon, he didn't have much hope at all.

But Zhou Yu's actions surprised Gan Ning, and he didn't hesitate for too long before ordering surrender.

Although Gan Ning resented Zhou Yu, he would not humiliate the captives in person, but Zhou Yu's actions made Gan Ning feel disdainful, so he would repeatedly ridicule Zhou Yu.

Thinking about his words and deeds, and then thinking of the gentle smile that always hung on Zhou Yu's face, Gan Ning didn't know why, and suddenly felt a trace of guilt in his heart.

Especially Zhou Yu's attitude towards his subordinates, as well as his calm and unhurried expression, combined with Zhou Yu's unyielding temperament, all made Gan Ning feel admired.

Gan Ning is also a person who can afford to let go, knowing that he has misunderstood Zhou Yu, he immediately clasped his fists and said: "Fang is how offensive I am, and I hope that the governor will not take it to heart." ”

"My lord has admired the governor for a long time, even if the governor is unwilling to surrender, he can return to Chang'an with us to meet the lord first."

"As for these Eastern Wu soldiers, I hope the governor can rest assured, as long as they don't rebel, they will definitely be well settled."

Zhou Yu saw Gan Ning's attitude of being condescending and respectful, but instead smiled bitterly and said, "I'm just a general of a defeated army, so how can I be appreciated by King Qin?" ”

"What's more, loyal ministers don't matter to the two masters, since I am a courtier of the Sun family, I naturally will not switch to others, and I hope that the general can be loyal to me."

Zhou Yu's eyes were very peaceful, but there was a hint of determination in them.

However, Zhou Yu's words also carried a hint of traps, he only said that he was loyal to the Sun family, but he did not say that he was loyal to Sun Quan.
