As Zhou Yu expected, Gao Shun's alliance with Soochow was declining, so he agreed to accept Soochow's grain and grass support.

When the news came back to Chaisang, the hundreds of big ships that had already been prepared, not loaded with grain, but only with elite Eastern Wu soldiers, pulled out anchors and sailed to look at Jiangxia.

On the bright side, the Soochow fleet only played the banner of Xu Sheng.

Secretly, there are the Metropolitan Governor Zhou Yu and six generals Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Han Dang, Ding Feng, Chen Wu, and Pan Zhang. Each of the 100 ships contained 500 soldiers, and a total of 50,000 troops were waiting for the day, vowing to seize Jiangxia County in one fell swoop.

On the night of 28 May, the ships arrived at Jiangxia Harbor.

The defenders in the port interrogated, and Xu Sheng replied: "I am the grain transport officer of Dongwu, and I escorted these grains and grass up the river and sent them to General Gao's camp. ”

The officers of the defending army sent people to board the ships to check, and sure enough, when they saw that the cabin was full of food, they did not suspect him and ordered Xu Sheng to enter the harbor for the night. As everyone knows, there is only a thin layer of grain and grass, and there is a deck under it, and under the deck is the elite soldiers of Dongwu ambush.

After entering the port, there was no monitoring by the Qin army.

Zhou Yu called the generals out and instructed them on specific matters.

He first sent someone to report to the Shu army in ambush outside Jiangling, saying that when the sky was dawning, there must be defeated soldiers in disguise from Eastern Wu to lead out of the Jiangling defenders. If successful, the Shu people can take the opportunity to capture Jiangling. He also ordered the generals to prepare and seize the port of Jiangxia after late night.

At the second watch of the night, everything was silent, and a hundred ships of Eastern Wu soldiers came out.

The shouting of killing disappeared without a trace in just a few breaths, and the Qin soldiers in the port did not expect that their allies would stab them in the back, plus there were 50,000 soldiers in the Eastern Wu Dynasty, and they couldn't resist it. One by one captured.

Zhou Yu counted and captured 326 Qin troops. He found the roster again. If you look closely, you can see that not a single Qin soldier has left. He was overjoyed and secretly cried out to God to help me.

Jiangxia Port, the big tent of the Qin army barracks, Zhou Yu gathered generals.

Jiang Qin said: "Dadu Governor, a qiēshun lì." However, how can you deceive the Jiangxia City Gate? ”

Zhou Yu, the governor of the capital, smiled elegantly and said: "With this officer of Jiangxia Port, the defenders in Jiangxia City must not suspect him." The gates of the city will be opened. Xu Sheng, you bring that officer to me, I will tell him my own knowledge. ”

Shaoqing, the officers of the Qin army brought.

Zhou Yu put down the roster, walked down, and said with a smile: "Loosen ......." Then he asked, "How do you know?" ”

He Ming, an officer of the Qin Army, stood up after taking off his restraints, turned his head and ignored Zhou Yu, surrounded by generals of Eastern Wu and were not afraid.

Zhou Yu smiled slightly. Said: "He Ming, you should have been put to death." But as long as you help the governor of Pontus to deceive Jiangxia City, not only can you live. Good land, official position, what do you want. This governor can give it to you. When he said this, he looked at He Ming very proudly. In his opinion, in the face of death and glory and wealth. No one chooses to die.

However.

He Ming glared angrily and shouted, "Our Qin army only has warriors who have killed the enemy and made meritorious contributions. There are no cowards who surrender on their knees! And you Soochow, there are only vile villains who have betrayed their alliances. Bah! ”

A mouthful of thick phlegm slipped from Zhou Yu's forehead, and there was a faint salty taste when it reached the corner of his mouth.

The elegant Metropolitan Governor, how could he endure such humiliation, he pulled out his sword with a loud sigh, "This Metropolitan Governor killed you, a ...... who does not know the times. ”

Who knew that He Ming, who was unrestrained, struggled to throw a heavy punch.

Peng's voice was in the middle of the door of the Metropolitan Governor.

"Wow!" Zhou Yu's sword was also thrown, and he was instantly knocked to the ground, and he grunted twice.

"The Grand Duke!" The generals of Eastern Wu hurried to help in horror.

Zhou Tai was furious, and the Wu generals knocked He Ming to the ground with three punches and two kicks, "Drag it out and cut it off!" ”

"Slow...... Slow, drag it out and fight half to death, don't kill! Zhou Yu hurriedly shouted when he got up.

The generals of Eastern Wu looked at each other, and said in their hearts that the governor of the capital was spit out, and he didn't kill this person, isn't it the elegant temper of the governor?

Zhou Yu wiped his elegant face, endured the smell of spitting on his face, and said elegantly in front of him: "This person still needs to stay and deceive the city gate." ”

The generals of Dongwu were stunned, saying that people are not afraid of death, what do you do to let people deceive and open their own city gates?

Zhou Yu recovered a little, and said with a graceful smile: "Qin Zijin used Xiahou Yuan to deceive Luoyang City, and today the governor of Bendu will use his way to return the favor to him." ”

The generals of Eastern Wu suddenly came to their senses, and said in unison: "Governor, good strategy!" ”

So, Zhou Yu ordered Chen Wu to bring a hundred people, wear Qin army clothes, coerce a hundred Qin soldiers, and quickly go to Jiangling to deceive the defenders in the city.

On the other hand, he personally led 50,000 Eastern Wu soldiers to drive straight into Jiangxia City.

It was late at night, Zhou Yu only took 200 soldiers to coerce He Ming and more than 100 other Qin soldiers, personally called the door under the city, and alarmistly heard that there was a sneak attack by the Shu army. He pushed He Ming and other Qin soldiers out again, and let the defenders of the city come to see. He Ming was exhausted from being beaten, and he couldn't speak with a hemp in his mouth.

And the defenders in Jiangxia City and He Ming and the others were a unit that recognized them, and they were taken aback and did not suspect him, and immediately opened the city gate.

In the shouting of the Eastern Wu soldiers, they rushed in, killed the Qin army when they saw it, and raised fire at the city gate.

Subsequently, seven generals, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Han Dang, Ding Feng, Chen Wu, Pan Zhang, and Xu Sheng, led 50,000 Eastern Wu soldiers to rush in.

There were only 5,000 Qin troops in Shijiangxia City, and the guards Wen Ping, Huang Zu and others fought back, how could there be a huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and us. Huang Zu was beheaded by Zhou Tai, the general of Eastern Wu, and Wen Ping only took a few dozen guards and went to Jiangling.

Zhou Yu got Jiangxia and ordered the whole army not to disturb the people, and those who violated the order were killed, and he quickly sent people to report to Chaisang. On the one hand, they divided their troops to take other county towns in Jiangxia, and stationed in Jiangxia to wait for news from Jiangling. If Jiangling was captured by Liu Bei, Zhou Yu would wave his army to take the four southern counties of Jingzhou according to the predetermined plan.

On the other hand.

Chen Wu pretended to be the Qin army and successfully deceived the defenders of Jiangling, and the Qin general Zang Ba heard that Jiangxia was in trouble and led the army to rescue.

After Guan Yu found out that the defenders of Jiangling were exhausted, he took Zhang Fei and Shamoke and took the opportunity to capture Jiangling.

And Zang Ba met Wenpin halfway and learned the truth. The two regretted not falling, but the allies suddenly fought back, and the two were helpless. Together, they went to Wushan and Gao Shunjun.

So far. Guan Yu seized Jiangling and penetrated deep into the hinterland of Jingzhou. And the hinterland of Jingzhou is almost no longer guarded by the Qin army. Guan Yu ordered Zhang Fei to stay in Jiangling, and he led his troops and horses to attack Xiangyang again.

And after Zhou Yu got the news. Quickly gathered troops and began to conquer the four southern counties of Jingzhou.

……

A day later, on the side of the Qin army in Wushan, the big tent of the Chinese army.

"What! Gangneung, Jiangxia is all lost! Gao Shun stood up suddenly, looking at Zang Ba and Wen Ping, who were kneeling on the ground under the tent, his face was full of shock.

The generals Ji Ling and Zhou Cang, and the strategists Yi and Han Song were also shocked.

"General, we are guilty. That Soochow was transported in the grain ship. It's all soldiers and horses in ambush. The allied forces of Soochow counterattacked, and we were caught off guard. "Zang Ba and Wen Ping bowed.

Gao Shun's face turned pale in an instant, and he sat back in the handsome seat in weakness, "It's my fault, my fault ......." ”

Gangneung and Jiangxia were lost, but it can be said that the army did not have a rear, but became a lone army deep into the enemy's territory.

"I thought that Sun Ce's heroic man said that he would send troops to help. I also gave food and grass funding, but I didn't expect it to be ....... ”

The strategist Yi was also flustered, and when he heard this, he said: "This is not the general's crime. It was actually caused by the treachery of Soochow. ”

Strategist Han Songjin said: "Now that Gangneung has been lost, the army has lost its rear, and if it is surrounded by the enemy, the army will be wiped out. Checkmate. Let's retreat as much as possible. ”

Actually, Gao Shun can't be blamed. Who would have thought that the former close allies. There will be a sudden stab in the back. At the same time, it was also the strategy of Zhou Yu and others who hid troops on the ship, which made the scouts of the Qin army lose their ears and eyes.

"The whole army retreated?" At this point, Gao Shun could only choose to retreat.

At this time, a guard panicked into the account and said: "General, the Shu soldiers poured out, and they are already five miles away at this moment." ”

Yi Yuan hurriedly said: "General, this must be the enemy trying to hold back our army. Please make a quick decision. ”

Gao Shun recovered a little, and said in a deep voice: "Our army retreats, and the enemy will definitely chase after us." Ji Ling, Zhou Cang, the two of you immediately led the army to retreat. I personally led 20,000 horses to ...... the queen. ”

Zang Ba and Wen Ping bowed: "General, we are willing to fight for our lives, and we must block the enemy!" ”

"You two ...... with General Ben."

Strategist Yi hurriedly said: "General, when I first came to Wushan, in order to prevent the Shu army from breaking through, more than 20 villages of our army were all under the village to form more than 20 lines of defense. Now you can use fire oil and other materials to ignite Dazhai to stop the enemy, and you don't have to risk yourself. ”

Gao obeyed his words and ordered the sergeants to spread fire in the camps, burn them and stop the enemy.

When the Qin army began to retreat, the dust from the west covered the sky and the sun. When they were scattered, 300,000 Shu soldiers were killed.

Gao Shun only led 5,000 soldiers and horses out of the village to line up.

In front of the Shu army, Liu Bei was proud, shook an ear that was as angry as a Buddha, and pointed his sword at the past and shouted: "Gao Shun, if you want to escape, it's not so easy." ”

Gao Shun was in front of the battle and found Zhuge Liang riding a horse beside Liu Bei. He raised his eyebrows coldly and said, "Liu Xuande, you ear thief, if it weren't for the betrayal of the Eastern Wu Alliance, how could you be allowed to spread wild here?" ”

"Bastard!" Liu Bei was furious and shouted: "Who took this person's life for this emperor's uncle!" ”

"The last general is willing to ......."

Everyone looked over and saw that it was Dr. Shu.

Gao Shun was angry, all in his heart, hoping that the enemy would come, and riding his horse out in a hurry. When there was a loud bang, it was just a move, and he beheaded Dr. Ren and the horse.

Liu Bei was even more angry, and said in his heart that he would win a big victory immediately, and this would be a big victory.

"Don't be rampant, Yan Yan is here!" I saw Yan Yan, the general of Shuzhong, waving his sword and flying out.

Gao Shunzheng said that when he fought again, the Iraqi in the camp behind him shouted: "General, don't leave now, let alone when!" ”

So, Gao Shun turned his horse and led the army to retreat into the village.

Liu Bei was mad and waved his army to cover the killing. Who knew that the Qin army's Dazhai suddenly caught fire and blocked the way.

It is estimated that after half an hour, the fire was extinguished, and when Liu Bei frantically chased to the next camp, the fire was monstrous. Due to the fact that the camps of the Qin army were all under the road, more than 20 camps were lit in turn to block the enemy, and Liu Bei's army was dragged for more than a day.

On the way to retreat, Gao Shun heard that Xiangyang was broken by Guan Yu, and in his anger he scolded Dongwu for being despicable and shameless, and Sun Ce was not a hero, so he wanted to commit suicide with a sword to thank the King of Qin. Fortunately, Ji Ling and others stopped him, and the generals coerced Gao Shun, led 150,000 Qin troops across the river, and entered Fancheng to think about the enemy's strategy.

Although Soochow stabbed in the back and failed in the battle in Jingzhou, fortunately, the main force of the Qin army in Jingzhou retreated. At this point, Gao Shun temporarily stopped his thoughts of committing suicide and apologized, and was born to defend himself in Fancheng. On the other hand, he sent someone to report to Qin Feng's army, telling him that Jingzhou had lost most of the Dongwu Alliance. (To be continued......)
