Chapter 957
After Zhuge Zhanhou Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Fei sent envoys to pay homage, he and his mother helped the coffin back to Nanyang for burial. Liu Bei sent Ma Su to Nanyang with three hundred tigers to build Zhuge Liang's grave.

Zhuge Liang was buried in Wollongang, Longzhong, not far from the thatched cottage. Zhuge Jun led his wife to pay homage to his elder brother, and then welcomed his sister-in-law and nephew back to the thatched cottage.

When Liu Bei received Zhuge Liang's neglect, he was deeply saddened. The situation of visiting the thatched cottage three times was still the same as yesterday.

But because the south of the Yangtze River was not settled, he dared not let himself go. He wrote in hand to Xu Shu, the governor of the South, to control the generals.

Xu Shu summoned Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun to announce the king's decree of Hanzhong, saying: "Marshal Zhuge fought for years and finally settled the Central Plains. He regretted that he was exhausted in his heart and strength. He was thankful in his middle age, and his talents were poor. He misunderstood the great responsibility. , although the concubine wants to resign, how can I get it?"

"I would like to work together with all the generals to rule the south of the Yangtze River, to report the knowledge of the master, and to achieve the ambition of being the first commander."

The two generals, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, shouted in unison: "The Marshal has taken on important responsibilities and has worked hard for the country. At the end of the day, the general is willing to lead his comrades and obey the orders of the general."

Xu Shu said with relief: "The two generals are of the same mind, so why worry about Jiangnan? Wu Jun guards Xiaoxian, Shu Liu has no heavy troops, Zilong can lead 5 troops from his headquarters, four generals Huang Xu, Liao Hua, Yan Shou, and Huang Wu, Go out of Shuliu, join the navy, attack Jiujiang, break through Jiujiang, and then go straight down the river to achieve Jianye."

Zhao Yun led the order, and together with his wife Ma Yunlu, he led four generals and supervisors straight out of Shuliu, and joined forces to attack Jiujiang.

Xu Shu ordered Wu Yi to guard Hefei, and together with Zhang Fei, Zhang Yi, Ma Zhong, Guan Suo, Cui Qi, Pang Feng, and Pang Yu had [-] troops to attack Xiaoxian.

Ma Chao received the order of the king of Hanzhong, and received the order of Marshal Xu, and hurriedly urged the army to march towards Huaiyin. He ordered Wen Yang to be the vanguard and came to Suqian. It was General Ding Feng of the Wu Army who was guarding Suqian. Seeing that Ma Chao led the troops, he flew to report to Lu Xun. Gan Ning knows.

It turned out that after Lu Meng's death, Sun Quan ordered Lu Xun to lead the naval forces, Cheng Pu to supervise the army, Cheng Pu to be stationed in Xiaoxian, Lu Xun to be stationed in Huaiyin, and Gan Ning to be stationed in Siyang.

Hearing the alarm, Lu Xun ordered Gan Ning to lead [-] troops to help Ding Feng guard Suqian, and then he himself led [-] troops to Suqian, and ordered the two generals: "Ma Chao's troops are sharp, Jiangnan is low and wet, stick to it and exhaust his division. Then it's time to fight."

The second general obeys the order and does not mention it.

Ma Chao ordered all the troops to fight, but the Wu army ignored them, and Ma Chao wanted to attack the city. Jiang Wei remonstrated: "The lord, don't be in a hurry, Suqian is an important place, and the Wu people have heavy troops stationed. I have heard that Lu Xun, Gan Ning, all come here. If you want to A strong attack will surely injure the soldiers."

"It's better to divide the troops around Hongze Lake, capture Xuyi, enter Yangzhou, shake its interior, then they must fight!"

Ma Chao was overjoyed when he heard the words and said, "Bo Yue's words are very reasonable, but this important task cannot be fulfilled by Bo Yue!"

That is to say, 4 troops were divided with Jiang Wei from his subordinates, and he ordered Guan Xing and Zhang Bao to attack Xuyi. He led three thousand light cavalry, cruised around Suqian, robbed Wu soldiers of food, and formed a formation with Li Yan.

Just say Jiang Wei's three generals arrived in Xuyi after multiple roads and journeys. The Xuyi defender was covered by the former army and failed to prevent it. Jiang Wei led his troops to attack immediately.

Jiang Wei left [-] soldiers and ordered Guan Xing to guard the city. He and Zhang Bao led the troops to Yangzhou. It was Ling Tong who guarded Yangzhou. place.

Instead of attacking the city, Jiang Wei and Zhang Bao plundered all parts of Gaoyou Liuhe.

Sun Quan was shocked when he heard the news, so he flew the Jiujiang navy to Jianye to defend along the river, and ordered Sun Jing to lead an army of [-] people to Yangzhou to help Ling Tong defend the city.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at Guazhou, they were met by Jiang Wei and Zhang Bao's ambushes. The whole army was defeated and Sun Jing was killed.

Jiang Wei sent people to report to Ma Chao, the commander in chief, to intercept Lu Xun's returning troops. Ma Chao got the report and ordered Li Yan to lead 5000 troops to guard the camp. One prepares Wu Bing to return to the south for interception.

The three generals Lu Xun, Gan Ning and Ding Feng heard in Suqian that Jiang Wei was going south to Xuyi to attack Yangzhou and other places in the north of the Yangtze River. The three generals discussed and ordered Ding Feng to stick to Suqian and lead Ma Chao to lead [-] troops with Gan Ning. Also save Yangzhou.

Lu Xun led the front army himself, and Gan Ning led the rear army. They set off at night, and it rained heavily that night. All the troops led by Ma Chao were from the north, so it was inconvenient to pursue them at night.

At dawn the next day, Ma Chao ordered Li Yan to move to his lodgings, and he led 2000 cavalry first, followed by Ma Dai Wenyang with [-] infantry, chasing Wu Jun.

When Ma Chao's cavalry arrived in Siyang, a drum sounded, and Gan Ning reined in his horse and shouted, "Ma Chao, stop going, Gan Ning is here."

Ma Chao pointed his whip, and the whole army charged forward. The Wu army was all infantry, and they couldn't stand when they charged. Gan Ning fought bravely against the enemy.

Ma Chao took advantage of the momentum to pursue, Lu Xun returned to the rescue, one by one, retreated to Huaiyin, Lu Xun ordered Gan Ning to guard Huaiyin, and led [-] Huaiyin troops to rescue Yangzhou.

Ma Chao surrounded Huaiyin with his army, and Ma Dai and Wenyang's rear team also arrived. Ma Chao discussed with the two generals: "Lu Xun is going to save Yangzhou. Boyue has few soldiers, so I'm afraid he will take advantage of him."

"The generals of Eastern Wu, Cheng Pu and Zhou Tai were in Xiaoxian, Huang Gai was in Jiujiang, Ding Feng was in Suqian, Gan Ning was in Huaiyin, Ling Tong was in Yangzhou, all the generals were scattered, and there were no heavy troops before, but they pursued Lu Xun with cavalry. It's all broken!"

The two generals both claimed to be good. Ma Chao ordered the two generals to station troops in Huaiyin, specifically to block Gan Ning, and led his own cavalry to chase Lu Xun.

Ma Chao told all the troops: "Our army goes deep into the enemy's territory, and we must fight to the death to survive. If we win the first battle, we will definitely win the south of the Yangtze River." Then he ordered the soldiers to have a full meal and attack immediately.

Lu Xun saw that Ma Chao was in pursuit, so he had to wait for the whole formation. Ma Chao took the lead, and among the [-] knights, one of them was equal to a hundred.

Ma Chao showed off his majesty, his tiger-headed golden spear was everywhere, and no one dared to fight against him. Firstly, he was a victorious teacher with good morale, and secondly, his horse had different gaits.

When the Han army gained power, Lu Xun had no choice but to lead his troops away if he wanted to decide the river.

When they arrived at the city of Yangzhou, a drum sounded, Jiang Wei was on the left, Zhang Bao was on the right, and both horses came out to stop Lu Xun. then go.

Ma Chao ordered Jiang Wei and Zhang Bao to chase after them, and led the army into the city to rest. When Lu Xunling arrived at the river, the navy rushed to meet them, and Jiang Wei had to watch them go into the water.

The Jiangdong navy sailed across the opposite bank, and the Han army had no choice but to do anything.

Jiang Wei and Zhang Bao returned to Yangzhou and met Ma Chao. Ma Chao held Jiang Wei's hand and praised: "It's not Boyo's plan. Our army should still be under the city of Suqian!"

Jiang Weixun thanked: "If the main general is not chasing after him, the Wei army is also on the verge of danger!"

This great victory was really due to the tacit cooperation of all parties, the smooth advance and retreat, the smooth flow of military orders, and the unity of one mind, which shows the cohesion of the Han army. This is the foundation of a mighty army and a victorious army.

After a day's rest, Ma Chao ordered Jiang Wei and Zhang Bao to guard Yangzhou, set up the counties in the north of the Yangtze River, led three thousand cavalry, and attacked Huaiyin.

Gan Ning persisted in Huaiyin and waited for Lu Xun to return to the army to help him. After waiting for many days, there was no news. Gan Ning knew that Huaiyin could not be defended for long.

Wen Yang and Ma Dai ordered the generals to lead the troops to collect Huaiyin, and then pursued after leading the troops. Gan Ning returned to the army to meet the enemy. The soldiers all fought to the death, and the two generals could not win.

When Ma Chao arrived in Huaiyin, he knew that Gan Ning had escaped, so he immediately led his troops to help the second general Wenyang and Ma Dai. Gan Ning was fighting bloody battles with the two generals. Ma Chao rode his horse to the front of the battle and shouted: "Xingba, our army has captured Yangzhou , why don't you dismount and return?"

When Gan Ning saw Ma Chao coming, he didn't expect to be mentally ill, so he lost his two generals. He rode his horse and held a knife, and went straight to Ma Chao.

When the battle went to sunset, Gan Ning was the only one left. Ma Daiwenyang attacked the ring bravely, but Gan Ning couldn't resist the enemy, so he clipped his horse and ran out of the circle.

The three generals chased after them and came to the Sheyang River. Gan Ning looked back at Jiangdong, his eyes showed nostalgia.It's just that I didn't expect that I would live the same life as the Overlord, and I would not be in vain in my name of prospering overlord.

Immediately, he looked up to the sky and roared, and the roar went straight to Xiaohan, which was inexplicably tragic, and then he rode his horse into the river. The river was turbulent, and people and horses flowed out of the sea.

Three generals, Ma Chao, Ma Dai, and Wen Yang, saw that Gan Ning was dead, and turned back to Huaiyin. It happened that Li Yan led the troops to arrive.

Ma Chao was overjoyed when he heard the words, and ordered Li Yan to lead ten thousand troops to station in Huaiyin, and went down to various counties. From the same two generals, he transferred to Yangzhou, and gathered boats with Jiang Wei Zhang Bao to prepare to cross the river.

The news spread to Jianye that Sun Quan was dying of illness. Some of them escaped from the defeated army in Huaiyin, Suqian, and came back to report: "General Ding was shot to death by random arrows when he broke through the siege, and General Gan drowned in the Sheyang River."

As soon as Sun Quan heard this letter, he was immediately discouraged, and finally regained his energy slowly, and said intermittently: "When Xingba dies, there is nothing to do in the south of the Yangtze River!"

Turning his head to look at Lu Xun, he said, "You will be tired of things in the future!"

After saying that, he died of breathlessness, the primordial spirit of the canopy came out of his orifice, and just entered the cloud, he saw his fellow disciples, the canopy was overjoyed to see him, and he called his two elder brothers directly.

Lu Xun ordered that the funeral not be held for the time being. Sun Deng, his descendant of the same generation, buried Sun Quan at the foot of Zhongshan Mountain. Anti Ma Chao.

Because of Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun's two-way arrival, Ma Chao also rested in his own army. He settled down and sent people to report to Marshal Jieyin to quickly urge the two groups to advance. The day of Jiangdong's final decision is not far away.
