Chapter 664, Zhang Wenyuan's choice

"Report, our army has lost the trace of Chen Deng. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Cao Pi, who was sitting in Dongjun, was furious, glaring at the scout who reported the news, and asked in a deep voice, "What are you all doing to eat, a bunch of waste, I don't know where Chen Deng went, it's really hateful, come on, push me out and cut it down." ”

"No!"

After a while, several swordsmen rushed in from outside the door and dragged the scout out out without saying anything, and after a while, a terrible scream came from outside.

Cao Pi couldn't figure out the details of Chen Deng, and hurriedly sent people to search around, but Chen Deng's army of 50,000 had already left Yanzhou unconsciously, and at this moment, Chen Deng had quietly led his troops to Jiangxia.

Jiangxia is an important town in Jingxiang, and the former general Huang Zu guarded this place, which shows that Jiangxia has a pivotal position in Liu Biao's mind, but this time, Cao Cao mistakenly thought that Chen Jiao's army was gathered outside Xiangyang City.

But he never thought that Chen Deng would leave Yanzhou to kill Jiangxia, and Ganning's navy also went down the river to help Chen Deng.

Three days later, with nearly 20,000 casualties of the righteous army, Jiangxia was lost!

When the bad news came out, not only Cao Cao was surprised, Cao Pi was also dumbfounded, Cao Pi knew that he was ashamed of his father's trust, and he didn't have time to ask Cao Cao for instructions, so he led his troops from Yanzhou all the way to Jiangxia, he wanted to make meritorious atonements, and then take down Jiangxia, but in Ziyunlin, he encountered Chen Deng's ambush.

Chen Deng stood on the hillside, standing in the wind, his face was light and breezy, like a fairy, leisurely, his expression was free and easy, looking at Cao Pi who was deeply encircled, the corners of Chen Deng's mouth were slightly disdainful.

"My lord, where is General Gan? Wasn't it still in Jiangxia last night? The lieutenant next to him asked puzzled.

Cao Pi was ambushed at the foot of the mountain and was desperately breaking through, while Chen Deng was leisurely and contented while enjoying the scenery and chatting with the deputy general.

"Let's go, I believe this will, I've already fought with Zhang Liao, haha...... Although Gan Ning is a brave general, he is rough and fine, and his strategy is good, and he is not a reckless person. "For Gan Ning, Chen Deng's evaluation is very high, very high! I'm afraid it's as tall as a two-story building! (Gan Ning has been studying the art of war since he was a teenager, and he also has a strategy.) )

Why?

Because the two have dealt with each other not less, Gan Ning's bravery, Chen Deng has witnessed it with his own eyes; Gan Ning's wisdom, Chen Deng has also personally understood.

Even, Chen Deng was still in Gan Ning's hands, and he suffered a secret loss.

In the past, Yan Liang sent troops from Xuzhou to attack Xuchang, and Gan Ning's approach impressed Chen Deng's father and son, and they were stunned to surrender to Chen Qi by the Chen family early.

Even if Chen Deng had already had the intention of returning to Chen Chip, if there was no such agitation as Gan Ning, Xuzhou didn't know when it would be under Chen Cut's jurisdiction.

And this time, Gan Ning led his troops to come to help and raided Jiangxia from the waterway, allowing Chen Deng to take the important town of Jingxiang - Jiangxia without much effort.

The grain and grass in Jiangxia alone is enough to support Chen Jiao's attack on Jingzhou for a year!

Chen Qi didn't even need to transfer grain and grass from Jizhou, and only took one Jiangxia, and the rebel army could be 'self-sufficient'.

And Gan Ning sent troops to cooperate with Chen Deng, and there was another purpose, that is, to lead Zhang Liao across the river.

Zhang Liao's army of 50,000 people, staying in Jiangdong, isolated, it can be said that he was in a dilemma, and the situation was extremely embarrassing.

Cao Cao left Zhang Liao in Jiangdong, but Zhang Liao was miserable, beating, not beating, withdrawing, unable to withdraw, isolated and helpless, like a lonely boat on the Yangtze River, always worried in his heart, not knowing when, he would fall into the encirclement of the enemy soldiers.

Now, the morale of the Jiangdong soldiers is high, Sun Quan, Zhou Yu and others have launched a counterattack, and even the Shanyue people are constantly reinforcing Sun Quan, Zhang Liao's pressure can be imagined, plus the battle situation in Jingzhou is not good, Zhang Liao weighed it, and is looking forward to returning to Jingzhou as soon as possible.

It's a pity that Ganning's navy was blocked on the Yangtze River, which made Zhang Liao unable to retreat.

Fortunately, Gan Ning took most of the troops to Jiangxia, Zhang Liao hurriedly crossed the river overnight, the vanguard just crossed the river more than halfway, was discovered by the scouts of the Jinfan Army, and the Jinfan Army immediately intercepted, but these sailors, very cunning, just dragged Zhang Liao to death, and did not swarm up.

After a hard battle, the vanguard had just successfully landed on the shore, at this time, the Jinfan army completely went crazy and rushed to Zhang Liao's army, when the Ganning army was killed, Zhang Liao found that his soldiers had been cut into several sections by the Jinfan army.

The vanguard was deliberately let go by the Jinfan army, and more than 10,000 people arrived on the north bank, while the middle was blocked on the Yangtze River, and the Cao soldiers, who had not yet boarded the ship, were forcibly blocked back by Gan Ning.

Gan Ning stood at the bow of the boat, his eyes were like lightning, his heroic posture was upright, he was not angry and arrogant, he was condescending, looked at Zhang Liao who was caught in a bitter battle, and smiled coldly, "Zhang Wenyuan, now, you are already under siege, if you insist on stubbornness, you can only increase the bones in vain, listen to my kind words and persuasion, it is better to surrender, I can also let go of your generals, how about it?" ”

Zhang Liao complained bitterly, waving his knife to meet the enemy, while quickly thinking about countermeasures, whether to advance or retreat? Is it desperately rushing to the other side? Or do you turn around and withdraw to Koto?

Rushing forward, the Jinfan Army intercepted layer by layer, and Gan Ning's men were all good at water warfare.

Backwards? It's not much resistance, but Zhang Liao knows that even if he withdraws to Jiangdong and suffers such a big defeat, how many men and horses will be left under his hands.

If it is a fight on land, with his crotch dismounting, and the knife in his hand, even if he faces more enemy soldiers, Zhang Liao is fearless, but now, he is powerless and doesn't know what to do.

Whether it was Cao Bing, who had already crossed the river and reached the north bank, or the soldiers who did not board the boat on the south bank, they could only stare dryly when they stood on the shore, and they could not use their strength.

And Gan Ning's army, almost more than half of the troops, were intercepted in front of Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao wanted to rush to the other side and wanted to return to Jingzhou, there was little hope, but he was unwilling to return to Jiangdong.

The problem that Gan Ning gave him was completely stumped by Zhang Wenyuan, who was resourceful and brave in the three armies!

However, at the moment, the situation was urgent, and there was no time to think about it at all, and after a little hesitation, Zhang Liao decisively asked the soldiers to turn around and kill on the south bank.

"Huh?" Gan Ning saw Zhang Liao turn around, he was stunned at first, but seeing Zhang Liao's calm expression and resolute eyes, Gan Ning pondered for a while, and couldn't help but be in awe.

wanted to transfer troops to encircle Zhang Liao again, but it was too late, and Gan Ning did not go over to intercept Zhang Liao in person, so it can be said that he had the intention to put him back on the south bank. (To be continued.) )
