Shu Chen

Chapter 419
The main reason why Liu Zan, Zhang Xiu, and Gu brothers went to Jiangbei to fight the war was that Sun Quan wanted to train the assistants of the crown prince Sun Deng, in order to lay a solid foundation for the future succession of the prince.

To put it mildly, the purpose of sending them to Yinling was to support Sun Shao and Zhang Cheng to contain the reinforcements from Wei, Qing and Xu states;

With Wei Qing and Xu Erzhou's pitifully small troops, Sun Shao, who has been guarding Guangling County all year round, can't handle it!

This kind of supporting statement is like saying that Zhu Ran, who guards Jiangling City in Jingzhou, needs the help of others to stand up to Wei Jingxiang's garrison.

It's just unexpected that by chance, Liu Zan actually destroyed Hefei New City.

Take the biggest credit for this sneaky attack on Huainan!
Under such circumstances, Lu Xun, who arrived in Huainan, immediately transferred the Liuzan Ministry back to Ruxuwu to garrison.

There is no way, they cannot be allowed to stay on the front line due to emotion and reason.

Because of love, they stayed on the front line. Zhu Huan, whose original combat mission was to destroy Hefei, was ashamed, and he didn't know what he would do according to his temperament that he had always been ashamed of others.

In the early years, Zhu Huan killed even Zuo Jun at his own discretion, and when he could not break through Hefei, he sent Qin Huang from the Fifth Battalion to Shouchun, killing thousands of elite soldiers as a result.

Lu Xun didn't want to face Zhu Huan's anger and go mad when the Wei and Wu armies were fighting fiercely.

Yu Li, the Liuzan Department has already won the first place, far exceeding Sun Quan's expectations when he came to Jiangbei, so why stay at the front line?

If Wei Guoqing and Xu Bingma abandoned their confrontation with Sun Shao and turned to Yinling to attack them, Lu Xun, who was already short of troops, would be in a dilemma of saving or not.

So, it might as well be sent back before.

Also sent back were Zhuge Ke and Chen Biaobu.

The moment Jiangdong's follow-up army arrived in Huainan and Quan Cong led the army into Shaopi, the duties of the two of them had been completed!

And because Zhu Huan also insisted on marching under Shouchun City, the defense between the old and new cities of Hefei was insufficient, and it was difficult to resist Wei's cavalry invasion of grain roads. Zhuge Ke, who had just become an army, turned back to help guard Ruxuwu, the gate of life in Jiangdong.

That is to say, Ruxuwu, which seems to have an empty defense, actually has nearly [-] troops.
Furthermore, Ruxuwu was built in the pass between Qibao Mountain and Ruxu Mountain, with mountains, rivers and geographical advantages to rely on.With sufficient troops and a good location, Cao Rui wants to attack the generals in one fell swoop, which is tantamount to nonsense!
However, his expectation was stillborn, the army did not advance to Ruxuwu or rushed to attack the fortifications and lost too many soldiers and horses.

Han Zong, who was sent by Gein as the vanguard, was alerted by Wu Jun when he was halfway through the march.

But he said that after the various ministries repatriated by Lu Xun arrived at Ruxuwu, Sun Quan personally hosted a banquet for them.

In particular, Liu Zan, who broke through Hefei, personally held the lamp for him; and ordered the generals to claim that if they were not in Ruxuwu, everything would be decided by Liu Zan.

This is beyond doubt.

The older Liuzan has rich experience in the army, and Jiangdong has fallen too many times under the city of Hefei~~
How can it be any surprise that Sun Quan boasted of his contributions to the hatred of Nengxue Xiaoyaojin?
Furthermore, Liuzan's humble background is doomed, and he will not be able to enter Jiangdong's decision-making center in the future. Why are they jealous of the princes!
But Zhuge Ke is not the case.

It's not that he is jealous of Liu Zan, but that he already thinks highly of himself.

This is the first time he led other tribes to join the expedition alone, and his achievements were quite impressive, but before leaving Zanbu, he was eclipsed, and he was inevitably a little disconcerted.So he also asked himself to use his headquarters to inspect the surrounding areas of Ruxuwu, to see if there was an opportunity to add some credit to himself.

Sun Quan has nothing to do with this.

After all, Zhuge Ke is the one with the best talent and learning among the sons and nephews of the Huaisi scholars who lived in Jiangdong.

Out of the desire to contain the Jiangdong family, he has long regarded it as a boost to assist the prince in power in the future.

Zhuge Ke's troops suffered some losses in the attack on the Wei army's water fortress in Shaopi, but there were still nearly 9000 people who were able to fight, and there were a lot of soldiers sent out to patrol under the merits of their hearts, and the scope of the realm was also very wide.

Bi Nahan Zong was already very cautious. He not only hid day and night, but also marched on remote trails that were difficult to navigate. However, when he marched to Ruxuwu about [-] miles away, he was spotted by Zhuge Ke's troops.

And in the first time, it was discovered that this was a death soldier who rebelled in the past.

Gein's soldiers who dared to die had previously followed Han Dang in the counties and counties of Jiangdong to fight against rebellion and rebellion, and they often used troops against the name of Shanyue. It happened that Zhuge Ke's soldiers and horses all took the people of Shanyue in Danyang as soldiers. fought.

In other words, this is the way of heaven and good reincarnation.

Zhuge Ke was overjoyed when his scouts came to report.

Sun Quan's hatred for Han Zong's betrayal was no less than Hefei's defeat!
If he can kill him, and then add to his achievements in attacking Shaopi, he will not be inferior to Liuzan in this attack on Huainan!
With this in mind, he did not follow common sense and pass on the military information to Ruxuwu and the others.

Because Sun Quan spent the night on a boat in Chaohu Lake recently, if he returns to report, the credit will be distributed to the leader's praise and other generals.

Naturally, even if you want to be greedy for merit, you need to do so without delay.

The death-death soldiers were built by Sun Quan with countless capital and painstaking efforts. Together with the Jiefan soldiers, they are called Jiangdong elites and have outstanding combat power.

It is not easy for Zhuge Ke to destroy it with his own headquarters.

Even self-defeating.

After all, although there are many soldiers in his army, the time to become an army is still short.Compared with the death-defying soldiers who have been in the army for more than ten years and participated in nearly a hundred wars, it is really different.

But Zhuge Ke didn't think so.

The other Koreans, who use deception to dominate and cruelty to favor, are nothing more than shameless and ungrateful clowns!

If he wants to kill it, he only needs to do a little trick.

Therefore, after carefully studying the terrain around Qibao Mountain on the west side of Ruxushui, and combining the scouts' analysis of the location of Han Zong's headquarters, and roughly inferring its marching route, they called all the battalion leaders of the headquarters. Come and ask:
"In the old days, you were the generals of Li, and you lived in the mountains and swamps. You fought against soldiers who dared to die, and there were many clan fathers and brothers who died. Now he comes with the traitor and traitor Han Zong. If you are willing to die, I will forgive you. You will take revenge and destroy it with this place! When it is done, the king will reward you with wealth and land, etc. I will not take any money, and will share it with you. If you don’t want to fight alone, I will report to the king and join everyone Break it with the power of the Ministry. I don't know what you think?"

As soon as this remark came out, all the camp leaders in Shanyue were grateful and declared that they were willing to die.

After motivating the soldiers to fight bravely, Zhuge Ke revealed his plan and assigned the duties of each battalion and battle.

And Han Zong, who was sent by Cao Rui, didn't know that he had become the hope of others to make contributions.

On the contrary, his understanding of the battle situation still remained in the impression that Ruxuwu's defense was weak, and he was still complacent about being regarded as a vanguard by Cao Rui.

Since he entered Wei, he has worked tirelessly to harass Wu territory frequently, isn't it just to show that he can attack Wu, in order to gain the respect of Luoyang temple and emperor Cao Rui?
Now he is relied on as a pioneer to go straight to the gate of life in Jiangdong. After the war, he will be rewarded for his meritorious deeds, and he must be the first one!

The promotion of the official rank and the letter in the future are inevitable!

So, how could he not be happy?

However, he still understands the truth of "half of a hundred miles is ninety".

The war is dangerous, and there are variables in everything before the road is cleared for the Luoyang Central Army and the strategic goal of the army to attack Ruxuwu is achieved.

Therefore, when marching on the way, he restrained the soldiers not to shoot birds and beasts because of greed for food, and not to invade the barbarians hiding in mountains and rivers along the way, so as not to leak the wind and leak their whereabouts. .

But it's all in vain if you do the math without thinking.

When he marched to the west side of Qibao Mountain and hid in the valley to rest for fatigue, he had already relied on Zhuge Ke, who was accustomed to climbing mountains and mountains, to set up an ambush on the side, and ordered all the troops to advance together, blocking all the exits of the valley!

When he got the news, Han Zong was shocked, and his hope for the future disappeared in an instant.

Since Bi Jiangdong trapped him in the valley all of a sudden, he must have understood Wei Jun's intention to attack Ruxuwu, so what did he expect!And he knew what would happen to him once he was defeated and captured by Jiangdong.

Therefore, he immediately took the lead, and the death-defying soldiers under Shuai Li's command resolutely broke through.

However, Zhuge Ke who has made all the preparations, how can he let the credit go away?

Seeing that Han Zong was determined to break through the siege, he also set up the flag at the mouth of the valley to supervise the battle, and personally held drums to encourage the soldiers to fight to the death.

The two armies both risked their lives and refused to budge an inch.

But after all, the Wu army had the advantage of land and more soldiers, and the morale of the side that set up an ambush was strong. Rao Han Zong had been able to break through the encirclement several times in person, with several wounds on his body.

We had to retreat into the valley temporarily, let the soldiers rest and reorganize, and then think about breaking out.

However, he had no chance.

The death-death soldiers were formed by Sun Quan selecting brave men from the counties and counties in the east of the Yangtze River, and the families of the soldiers were all placed in the land of Wu.In the past, when Han Zong rebelled against Wu and entered Wei, he was stationed in Wuchang, accompanied only by his father's coffin and the men, women and children of his mother's clan.After this incident, Jiangdong Yousi reported to Sun Quan that the family members of the soldiers who dared to die were held accountable according to the law, and they were punished as military slaves for generations.

Based on this, Zhuge Ke took advantage of Han Zong's offensive to dissipate, and asked the soldiers to surrender in unison, claiming that Han Zong was guilty of defection in the past, and Sun Quan only wanted to punish the culprit and not the public.If the death-defying soldiers killed Han Zong and raised his head to surrender, he would save everyone from the crime of rebellion, and he would also speak to Sun Quan, begging for his family to be spared the fate of being a military slave for generations.

The Daredevil Army was established for more than ten years, and it was treated favorably by Sun Quan when it was in Jiangdong.

He rebelled that day, but he was deceived by Han Zong.

Moreover, after entering Wei, they were often rejected by other deployments of Wei State. When they were trapped to death and failed to break through the siege, they got Zhuge Ke's words to persuade them to surrender, and the choices they made could be predicted.

After all, Han Zong is greedy and contemptible, not as much as his father Han Dang!
You can't get the heart of a soldier who dares to die.

When the evening meal was being prepared, the generals of the battalion of the dare-death soldiers conspired to kill Han Zong and his entourage, and surrendered his head to Zhuge Ke.

Zhuge Ke was overjoyed when he got the reward.

First of all, I would like to make good words to secure the hearts of the soldiers who dared to die, and give wine and meat to show my sincerity.

After they believed it was true and let go of their vigilance, Yeji's elite soldiers from all over the mountains suddenly rushed into the valley, killing all the daredevil soldiers who abandoned their weapons and descended!
