At dawn, the flood subsided and the fighting dispersed.

Pei Xingyan's Guishan army was swept away by the flood and drowned, and the total number of people killed by the Han army on a bamboo raft exceeded 20,000, which was a complete fiasco. Fortunately, at the critical moment, Zhou Yu led Sun Jun's water guards to come to the rescue, and captured Yang Qilang, who was not good at water, and saved a trace of face for the coalition army.

"Thank you Zhou Dudu for leading the army to rescue, this grace is unforgettable!" After collecting the troops and returning to the camp, Pei Xingyan didn't have time to change his clothes, so he bowed to Zhou Yu and thanked him.

Zhou Yu hurriedly stretched out his hand to support Pei Xingyan: "General Pei's words are serious, it's just that our soldiers are better at water warfare!" Wu Qi had been stationed in Linpu for several months, but he easily abandoned the city and left, and Yu guessed that most of them were fraudulent. In addition, it has been raining continuously recently, and the water level of the Yu River has risen, so I am afraid that the Han army will attack by water, so I ordered my soldiers to prepare wooden planks and be ready to rescue at any time, so I luckily thwarted the pursuit of the Han army! ”

"Alas...... In terms of using soldiers, I am far inferior to Zhou Dudu! Pei Xingyan sighed and instructed his subordinates to prepare pen and ink for themselves.

Greedy for merit, resulting in the loss of more than 20,000 horses, Pei Xingyan knew that he had a heavy responsibility, and Meng Tian had to investigate his own responsibility after learning about it, and sent a general to take over the military, and since then he has been subservient to others. Therefore, Pei Xingyan took the initiative to ask for guilt, and strongly recommended Zhou Yu to take over as the main general, which can be regarded as repaying Zhou Yu's life-saving grace.

Seeing Pei Xingyan strongly recommending himself as the main general in the letter, Zhou Yu was surprised and delighted, and thanked him: "Yu also won by luck, how dare you be greedy?" The general is so lovely, it really hurts Zhou Yu! ”

Pei Xingyan said convincingly: "General Gongjin should be humble, before you sent troops yesterday, you predicted that the Han army would be deceitful, and you only hated the pride and arrogance of the general." Doesn't listen to advice. At the critical juncture, you led your soldiers to defeat Wu Qi. In terms of military talent, it is far ten times better than Pei, and it is not inferior to General Meng Tian. Among the entire legion. Except for General Meng Tian and his brother, I, Pei Xingyan, will only serve you alone! ”

"Since the general is so loving, then Zhou Yu will not shirk, if he is supported by General Meng Tian, Yu will definitely do his best to make suggestions, strive for all the early occupation of Jiaozhou, and then get involved in Jingnan and Yangzhou!" Zhou Yu agreed, with a high-spirited face.

A moment later, Huang Gai and Han Dang escorted Yang Qilang, who was tied up with five flowers, to the Shuai tent. shouted: "Prisoner under the stairs, kneel quickly!" “

"Haha...... I, Yang Yansi, kneel on my knees, kneel down to the world, kneel in the middle, the Son of Heaven, parents, you rebellious ministers and thieves, colluding with foreign races, actually want me Qilang to kneel? Blind your dogs! Yang Qilang gritted his teeth and scolded angrily, his face was hideous, "There is only a decapitated general today, and there is no kneesy Qilang." If you want to kill or chop, listen to it! ”

A partial general took a step forward, took the scabbard and was about to smash Yang Qilang's leg: "What a rampant captive, don't you understand the truth of becoming a king and defeating a thief?" I see if it's your hard mouth or your legs. There's a kind of standing up straight, don't let me smash my knees! ”

"Don't be rude!"

Zhou Yu stretched out his hand to stop the reckless actions of the partial general, and arched his hand to Yang Qilang: "Zhou has heard for a long time that General Qi is a jealous and hateful general, and he was one enemy and five enemies in Wancheng back then. Famous all over the world. But under the hands of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, it was a pearl secret investment. Huang Zhong was ruined and could only be a partial general. Why don't the generals surrender. Help my lord achieve the cause of the king, and the general will definitely go down in history and protect his descendants! ”

"I'm ......"

Just as Zhou Yu was pacing to him, Yang Qilang suddenly spat at Zhou Yu, "The traitors of the dog day colluded with foreign races and achieved the cause of the king, I think you have achieved the cause of the king, I think you have achieved the cause of the king!" ”

"Come on, drag it down and cut it down!" Pei Xingyan was furious and ordered the knife and axe hand to push Yang Qilang down and behead him.

Zhou Yu took out a handkerchief in annoyance to wipe the saliva on his face, shook his head and said, "Alas...... If you don't know the current affairs, it's useless to kill it, so let's push it down and imprison it for the time being! ”

The news of Pei Xingyan's defeat and the letter of guilt were quickly whipped and delivered to Meng Tian, who was stationed in Liangshan, in the evening.

Meng Tian couldn't help but be furious after seeing it, and scolded angrily: "This general has already told the Pei brothers that in order to be brave, everything must be thought twice before acting, and it is really disappointing to fall for Wu Qi's plan to lure the enemy so easily!" Pass on my order, punish Pei Xingyan for three months, reduce the rank of one general, and make meritorious service for crimes. ”

Finally, after reading Pei Xingyan's strong recommendation to Zhou Yu, Meng Tian stroked his beard and bowed: "Hmm...... This Zhou Yu is a great general, and he can use it! ”

Meng Tian immediately sent an order, and ordered the general Muhandas to lead a team of 30,000 Guishan soldiers and soldiers of Linyi State to go north to Linpu to reinforce Zhou Yu and Pei Xingyan, and continue to launch a strong attack on Wu Qi. He also sent fast horses to urge Wang Ben to speed up the march, sent a vanguard team to attack Huo Qujian in Yulin, and marched side by side with Zhou Yu and Pei Yuanqing, striving to break through the Han army's defense line before the arrival of Han Dynasty reinforcements.

For Wu Qi, he paid the price of more than 3,000 casualties, drowned and killed more than 20,000 Guishan troops, and the casualty ratio of the two sides was one to eight, which was a hearty victory, but at the last moment it became a tiger and a snake, and was counterattacked by the Sun army led by Zhou Yu, killing 1,500 people in the water, otherwise the casualty ratio of this battle would be more than 1 to 15, which can be written into textbooks. But what made Wu Qi feel most depressed was Yang Qilang's misstep and being captured!

The hounds will eventually die on the mountain, and the general will inevitably die in battle.

The battle on the battlefield is not only for the soldiers to fight for their lives, but also for the generals, and it is normal to die on the battlefield.

There is a saying that a thousand troops are easy to get and a general is hard to find, that is to say, a military general is equivalent to a thousand soldiers, and Yang Qilang's value is equivalent to two thousand soldiers at best. Not everyone is Li Yuanba, and the power of a hundred grenades cannot be compared with a nuclear weapon.

Yang Qilang's capture did not make much waves, and there was not much difference between it and the Guishan generals who died under He Yuanqing's hammer yesterday, but one was captured and one was killed.

Just like last year, when the Guishan Army first confronted the Han Army, they were chopped melons and vegetables by Su Lie and Xu Huang, and they beheaded three or four generals with a force value of more than 90 in a row, except when reporting their merits, no one will remember their names. If you compare these Guishan generals with Han generals, basically the dead ones are Yang Qilang, Cheng Biting Jin, and Yang Youji, but no Han army will remember the names of these dead Guishan generals, just like the Guishan army will not care who Yang Qilang is, he is just a prisoner with bad luck, that's all.

But Wu Qi cared, because Yang Qilang's capture stained this great victory and flawed this textbook battle to lure the enemy.

What made Wu Qi feel even more depressed was that the Son of Heaven repeatedly emphasized in the edict that when he met other generals in Guishan, he would spare no effort to beat him, and when he met Zhou Yu, he would let him, let Zhou Yu win a few games first, let Zhou Yu shine, and let Zhou Yu rise until he became Meng Tian's right-hand man.

This made Wu Qi helpless, and he wanted revenge as if he had been put on a tight spell, so he could only watch Zhou Yu gather an army around Linpu in high spirits, approaching Huai'an and Pingshan step by step.

"The minister asked for an all-out decisive battle with Zhou Yu to rescue General Yang Yansi."

Wu Qixiu sent a letter to Jinyiwei and passed it to the Son of Heaven who had already walked to Jieyang and was still 1,500 miles away from the front line.

The carrier pigeon fluttered its wings with the letter, soared northward, and after passing through the relay of stations along the way, it reached Liu Wei in the evening of the next day.

At this moment, the Han army had just set up camp, and all the civil and military forces had a brief meeting in the imperial tent after dinner, and they went to rest, and the information of the battle of Linpu had not yet been sent at that time.

"Your Majesty...... General Wu's flying pigeon biography, please see it Your Majesty! Zhan Zhao took the letter sent back by the carrier pigeon and handed it to Liu Wei, and then respectfully withdrew from the account to wait for the order.

Liu Wei took the letter and slowly unfolded it, read it slowly, and was not happy that Wu Qi flooded the Guishan army and killed more than 20,000 people, nor was he surprised that Yang Qilang was captured. There are more than a million soldiers under his command, and there are thousands of soldiers, everyone is bleeding from the head of the knife, and someone will die at any time, if you are sad and angry because of one person, then you should simply forget it!

After many years of imperial career, Liu Wei's city government has become deeper, and he will no longer be angry about the death of a Jiang Qin and sad for the death of a Hua Rong as before. Unless someone makes Liu Wei emotional, he will touch the softness of Liu Bian's heart, just like the wife of Tang Hou, who has suffered together.

Yang Qilang was captured by mistake, although it is regrettable, but how to fight the battle must be fought, everything has to be carried out according to the original plan, and Yang Qilang can only be resigned to fate whether he lives or dies. As the Son of Heaven, what he can do is to posthumously compensate for the seal, and there is no better way.

"Act according to the original plan, let Zhou Yu continue to win, and then close the net until Zhou Yu becomes Meng Tian's right-hand man!"

Liu Wei didn't give Wu Qi much explanation, and quickly wrote a reply, summoning Zhanzhao to come in and send the receipt to Wu Qi with flying pigeons, and continue to act according to his plan, and must not change his original intention because of changes.

Liu Wei didn't even inform his subordinates of the battle report in front of him, so he made a decision alone, and at this moment, his command value was as high as 101, and Liu Wei had enough confidence in his judgment. As long as the plan is implemented perfectly, it will definitely make the 500,000 Guishan army come and go!

"I wonder why Wu Qi originally had the upper hand, why was Zhou Yu counterattacked on the water, making the battle of Linpu a tiger's tail?" Under the boredom, Liu Wei closed his eyes and asked himself.

Under the candlelight, the system suddenly activated: "Ding Dong...... The system found a bug, and Sun Wu's charisma as a resurrected character unexpectedly caused a breakthrough, resulting in the birth of Xin Qiji and Miyamoto Musashi. Although it is not a regular four-dimensional explosion, it is still a bug, and the system is being fixed, so please wait! (To be continued.) )
