As soon as Zhou Yu divided his troops and left, Xiahoude got news in the city again, so he ordered Wei Yan to lead his troops to respond. Wei Yanzheng hoped to preserve his strength and let Cao's army lose more men and horses, so he didn't move quickly after leaving the city, and only waited for Cao Chun and Niu Jin to be defeated before responding.

When the Jiangdong army arrived at Yiling, Zhou Yu saw Cao Chun, Niu Jin, and Chen Jiao besieging the city, so he set up a position to confront Cao's army. Cao Chun saw that Zhou Yu's reinforcements had arrived, so he had to give up the siege for the time being and fight with Zhou Yu's army. As soon as the two armies clashed under the city, Zhou Tai led the troops out of the city, and the Cao soldiers were in chaos under the front and rear attacks, and the Jiangdong soldiers and horses were killed in all directions, and Cao Chun, Niu Jin, and Chen Jiao could only throw a small road and go.

Zhou Yu defeated the three generals and rescued Zhou Tai, and Starry Night led the troops to chase along the path in the direction of Nanjun. Halfway through, the drums of war on the side of the mountain sounded, Wei Yan received the soldiers and horses, and Cao Chun and other generals also joined forces with Wei Yan to fight Zhou Yu. The two armies fought in the dark night, although Wei Yan had the convenience of sneak attack, but he couldn't stand Zhou Yu's large number of soldiers, and as a result, no one took advantage of it, so they had to collect their own troops.

Wei Yan and the others led the troops back to the city, and Xiahoude discussed with the generals: "Now that the Yiling has been lost, Nanjun is in danger, who has a plan to solve the current crisis?" ”

Lu Xun said: "I have a plan, the general can act like this......"

Xiahou De was overjoyed when he heard the plan, and ordered the fifth watch to make rice, and the next morning, the soldiers packed up their packages and abandoned the city. Flags were planted all over the city, and they bluffed.

After Zhou Yu rescued Zhou Tai, he once again Chen Bing Nanjun outside the city, and on this day, he suddenly saw Cao Bing out of the formation in three gates, Zhou Yu felt strange in his heart, so he climbed high and watched. Seeing that the flag was planted at the head of the city and no one guarded it, and seeing that Cao's soldiers and soldiers were carrying packages, Zhou Yu decided that Xiahoude was preparing to run away because of the loss of Yiling, and at this time the formation was just to make all the soldiers and horses go out of the city, so that it would be convenient to escape.

Zhou Yu, who had won a big victory in Chibi, did not take Nanjun Cao Jun in his eyes, and Cao Jun's preparation to flee at this time was in line with Zhou Yu's view of Cao Jun's vulnerability. So Zhou Yu ordered the generals to divide into left and right wings to prepare to pursue the defeated army, and personally led troops to fight against Cao's army to take the city, leaving only a small number of soldiers and horses of Cheng Pudu to suppress the formation.

After the two formations were round, Xiahoude sent Cao Chun and Niu Jin out to fight. Zhou Yu ordered Han Dang and Zu Mao to go out to meet the enemy. The four generals fought in less than 30 rounds before the battle, and Cao Chun and Niu Jin were defeated one after another. Xia Houde personally went to battle, and Zhou Tai greeted him. The two fought less than ten times, Xiahoude was defeated again, the Cao army was in chaos, and all the Cao soldiers turned their heads and ran.

Zhou Yu saw the Cao army retreating, waved the sword in his hand, and the two wings of the military horses were killed, and the Cao army was defeated at that time. The generals pursued Cao's army to the city of Nanjun, and Cao's soldiers did not enter the city, but walked around the city to the northwest, which confirmed Cao's army's desire to retreat.

Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin and other generals saw that Cao Bing had lost his armor and abandoned his armor, so he led his troops to chase after him as best he could. Zhou Yu saw that the city gate was wide open, and there was no one in the city, so he led his soldiers to rob the city.

Zhou Yu quickly whipped his horse and led dozens of horses straight into the urn city. Chen Jiao hid on top of the enemy tower, saw Zhou Yu enter the city in person, and secretly cheered: "Lu Boyan is really like a god!" After sighing, Chen Jiao beat the war drums around him.

As soon as the drums sounded on the enemy tower, Wei Yan and Lu Xun, who were ambushed at the head of the city, led the troops, and the bows and crossbows on both sides were like a shower. Several of the horsemen who guarded Zhou Yu rushed into the city first were either shot and fell off their horses, or fell into the pit of horses. Zhou Yu knew that he was planning to leave, but he was shot by Wei Yan with an arrow, and the left assistant turned over and fell off the horse.

Wei Yan saw that he shot down Zhou Yu, so he led his troops down to the city to capture Zhou Yu. Xu Sheng and Ding Feng sacrificed their lives to fight before they rescued Zhou Yu. Although Lu Xun didn't know Zhou Yu's life and death at the head of the city, he ordered his soldiers to shout: "Zhou Yu was killed by an arrow!" ”

The Jiangdong soldiers didn't know whether it was true or not, but they saw Zhou Yu riding into the city, but he was carried out by Xu Sheng and Ding Feng, so they believed it was true, and the army's heart was in turmoil. Wei Yan led his troops to take advantage of the situation, and the Jiangdong soldiers and horses trampled on each other, causing countless casualties.

Cheng Pu supervised the army behind, and when he saw that Zhou Yu's life and death were unknown, he didn't dare to fight, so he had to withdraw his troops. Wei Yan did not chase and kill Zhou Yu's defeated army, but went to the northwest and attacked the generals of Jiangdong.

The Jiangdong generals pursued Cao Bing, and soon heard the head of the Nanjun city shouting, "Zhou Yu is dead!" "I can't help but be distracted. At this time, Wei Yan killed from behind again, and the three generals Xiahoude, Cao Chun, and Niu Jin led the troops back at the same time, and the Jiangdong generals were immediately defeated in chaos. Fortunately, Ling Cao and Dong Xian stopped Cao Bing after desperately breaking off, and the Jiangdong soldiers and horses were defeated and returned to the camp, without a thousand miles of defeat.

After Xiahoude's victory, he led troops into the city, and Cheng Pu and Lu Su temporarily collected the defeated army and returned to the camp on behalf of Zhou Yu, and the two armies each withdrew their troops. After Xu Sheng and Ding Feng rescued Zhou Yu back into the tent, they called the military doctor to treat Zhou Yu's injuries.

The doctor first used scissors to break through Zhou Yu's armor, then used a knife to cut the flesh, and finally pulled out the arrow with iron tongs and covered the wound with gold sore medicine. Although this doctor is also a good doctor, after all, it is difficult to compare with Hua Tuo, and there is no hemp boiling powder available, after some diagnosis and treatment, Zhou Yu is in pain and difficult to eat.

After treating Zhou Yu's external injuries, the doctor gave Zhou Yu medicine and instructed the generals: "This arrow is poisonous and cannot be cured in the short term." If the anger causes the arrow sores to recur, there is a fear of life, and the governor still needs to be well raised. ”

The curare poison mentioned by the doctor is not a poison that seals the throat when you see blood, but refers to the rust and dirt on the arrowhead that is easy to form infection. Cheng Pu and Lu Su did not dare to be careless after listening to the words of the doctor, and ordered the three armies to hold the camp tightly and not to go out lightly.

Xiahoude found out that Zhou Yu was not dead from an arrow in the city, so he ordered Niu Jin to lead the army to fight in front of the battle. Cheng Pu just stood still, Niu Jin scolded until dusk, and came back the next day.

For three days in a row, Niu Jin scolded outside the gate of the village every day, and kept saying that he wanted to arrest Zhou Yu. Cheng Pu was afraid that Yu was angry and didn't dare to report it, but he couldn't bear the scolding outside the camp, so he discussed with the generals and wanted to withdraw from the army for the time being.

Although Zhou Yu could not serve due to injury, he had his own ideas in his heart. Although Cheng Pu did not report it, Zhou Yu also knew that Cao Bing often came to the village to scold. On this day, Niu Jin came to beat the drum and scold again, but Cheng Pu still didn't come out. Zhou Yu called the crowd into the account and asked knowingly: "Who is shouting outside the tent?" ”

All the generals were afraid that Zhou Yu would be angry, so they lied: "The army drills the soldiers, so they beat the drums and shout." ”

Zhou Yu said angrily: "Why did the princes deceive me? I know that Cao Bing often comes to the village to insult him, why does Cheng Demou sit idly by and ignore him when he is in charge of the army? ”

Cheng Pu explained: "Gongjin is injured, and the doctor once said not to be angry. Therefore, Cao Bing did not dare to report it. ”

Zhou Yu said: "If you don't report me and don't fight, I don't know what your plans are?" ”

Cheng Pu said: "The generals want to collect their troops and return to Jiangdong temporarily, and then make plans when Gongjin's injuries have subsided." ”

After hearing this, Zhou Yu suddenly pushed away the futon, sat up from the bed and said: "The eldest husband eats Junlu, and when he dies on the battlefield, he will return with a horse leather shroud." How can I abolish the affairs of the state for my own sake? Then he got out of bed and put on his armor and got on his horse.

The generals were all shocked when they saw this, so they had to follow Zhou Yu to lead the troops. Niu Jin scolded and didn't see Zhou Yu send troops for several days, so he thought that Zhou Yu was seriously injured and would die, but he didn't expect Zhou Yu to lead the troops out today, and he was scolding with a whip: "Zhou Yu's son, he died early, he deserves to die, so that you don't dare to look at our army!" ”

Before the scolding stopped, he saw Zhou Yu suddenly lead the troops out of the camp and said: "Niu Jin Pifu!" Can I see that I am dead? ”

Niu Jin just came to scold the formation, and did not bring more soldiers and horses, and Zhou Yu was shocked when Cao Jun came out. Niu Jin did not dare to fight, and retreated to return to Xiahoude. When Xiahou heard the news, he led the army out again and fought against Zhou Yu.

After the two rounds of circles, Xia Houde looked at Zhou Yu's bloodless face from afar, and expected that Zhou Yu's arrow wound had not healed, so he instructed the soldiers: "You can scold him!" ”

Cao Bing scolded loudly when he heard this, and Zhou Yu was furious and sent Pan Zhang to fight. Xiahou De sent Niu Jin forward. Before the two could confront, they heard Zhou Yu shouting in the middle of the formation, and blood spurted from his mouth and fell under the horse.

Xiahoude saw Zhou Yu fall off his horse and take the opportunity to wave his army forward, and the Jiangdong generals struggled forward to resist, and the two armies fought a melee without a victory. The generals rescued Zhou Yu and returned to the tent, and Cheng Pu saw that Zhou Yu was in good spirits and asked, "How is the governor and your body?" ”

Zhou Yu smiled and said to Cheng Pu: "This is my plan." ”

Cheng Pu asked in surprise: "Will the governor come out?" ”

Zhou Yu said: "My arrow wound is fine, and I pretended to be sick before the battle to let Cao Jun know that I am critically ill." When Xiahoude saw that I vomited blood, he would inevitably underestimate the enemy, so he could send his henchmen to the city to surrender, and said that I was dead. In this way, Xiahou De will come to rob the village, and we will ambush the enemy on all sides, and the Cao soldiers in the city can be captured in a battle. ”

Cheng Pu sighed when he heard this: "This plan is wonderful! After that, according to Zhou Yu's plan, he ordered the whole army to mourn.

When the Jiangdong soldiers heard that Zhou Yu, the governor of the capital, died of arrow sores, they were all shocked, and then all the villages were filial piety. After Xia Houde returned to the city, he asserted that Zhou Yu's blood spurting in front of the battle and falling from his horse must have been an arrow wound and he would die soon, but he didn't expect Zhou Yu to die so quickly. As soon as it was dark, more than ten Jiangdong sergeants came to tell the news of Zhou Yu's death.

Xia Houde was also afraid of the plan, and repeatedly asked to determine the identity of the soldier. found that two of the soldiers were Cao soldiers who were captured during the Battle of Chibi, so he had no doubts. So he discussed with the generals that night, he went to rob the village, snatched Zhou Yu's corpse, beheaded him and sent Xu Du to report the victory.

Lu Xun thought about it in his heart and realized that Zhou Yu was using a trick to cheat death, if Zhou Yu really died, the Jiangdong army should not mourn, and it was right to withdraw the army first. Although Lu Xun saw through Zhou Yu's plan, he did not say it to Xiahoude, but persuaded Xiahoude: "If you want to rob the village, it should be tonight, and you can't delay it." ”

Xiahoude saw that Wei Yan and Lu Xun had made many meritorious contributions, and he no longer rejected them. So it was decided to make Niu Jin and Cao Chun the vanguard, leading the Chinese army, and after Wei Yan broke off, he went to rob Zhou Yu's camp that night, leaving only Lu Xun and Chen Jiao to lead the troops to defend the city.

After the second watch of the night, Xia Houde led his troops directly to Zhou Yu's camp, but he didn't find that Wei Yanzao, who had broken off, had distanced himself from the front army. When Xiahoude led the troops to rush into the Jiangdong Zhaimen, he found that there was no one in the village, and he just planted a false flag.

Xia Houde knew the plan and hurriedly waved his army back, but before he could leave the camp, the drums sounded in unison. Han Dang and Zu Mao were killed in the east, Jiang Qin and Pan Zhang were killed in the west, Xu Sheng and Ding Feng were killed in the south, and Chen Wu and Lü Meng were killed in the north.

Cao's army was defeated when it was besieged, except for Wei Yan, who had already prepared to lead troops back to the city halfway, Xiahoude, Cao Chun, and Niu Jin were all scattered, and they could not save each other.
