Chapter 617 Sincerity
Above the Han River, at the mouth of the Qingjiang River.

To the north is Fancheng, and to the south is Xiangyang.

Soochow warships flooded the river, and veteran Ding Feng stood at the bow, overlooking Xiangyang to the south.

Shi Ji can be regarded as a veteran. He has fought for so many years, but now he is in such a good situation, but he is still unable to win Xiangyang.

Ding Feng's face was like still water, but he was burning with anxiety.

In fact, he bears far more pressure than Shi Ji.

Sima Zhao had [-] troops in Wancheng, and [-] Wei troops in Fancheng and Xinye.

The rear Jianye is also not stable.

Who knows what Zhang Bu and Pu Yang Xing can do?
The two act as exteriors and interiors of each other, covering up the sage's hearing and eliminating dissidents.

The Wu country, which was originally a little bit alive, became a chicken feather again.

Internal strife is just internal strife, after all, the common people are not involved.

But the prime minister, Puyang, was so happy that he supervised the construction of Danyang Hutian on a whim, causing the common people and military households to exhaust themselves, flooding the mountains and fields with exhaustion, and countless fugitives...

A few years ago, some subordinates advised Ding Feng to get rid of the two of them altogether, to monopolize the internal and external power, to realize the real sense of supervising all Chinese and foreign military forces, occupying the east of the river, and seeking a fortune for his descendants.

The next day, the old man's head was hung on the gate of the barracks.

Although Ding Feng was born in the grassland, he has a far-sighted vision. Without the support of his family, what if he monopolizes the power?

None of Soochow's prime ministers and generals in recent years have come to a good end. What Ding Feng did would only make Soochow more chaotic.

"General, the superior general requests the navy to attack the north city of Xiangyang!" Zhang Ti, the military strategist, whispered from behind.

At that time, Sun Xiu, Zhang Bu, and Ding Feng, the masters of Wu, conspired to get rid of Sun Wei. In order to appease Jingzhou Shiji, they specially named a general.

But now it seems that Shi Ji is obviously not worthy of the name.

Ding Feng led the navy, how to attack the north city of Xiangyang?
And when Ding Feng moves, the enemy army in Fancheng on the opposite side will follow suit...

"If there is any other bad news, you can tell it together."

"There is a letter from Jianye, and the general will return to the army." Zhang Ti sighed.

"Is it the meaning of His Majesty or the Prime Minister?" Ding Feng's face was still waterless.

"It's the meaning of the prime minister."

Pu Yangxing's meaning was almost the same as Sun Xiu's. This time it was a letter from Pu Yangxing, and the next time it was Sun Xiu's will.

After more than two months of the war, the Wu army suffered heavy losses, and Xiangyang remained motionless.

Sima Zhao of Wancheng also stood still.

"What does Juxian think?" Ding Feng's voice was much lower, as if he was suppressing his anger.

Zhang Ti said sincerely: "Since ancient times, if you can't attack the city in one go, you will have to besiege it for a long time. The city of Xiangyang is strong, and the food and grass are sufficient. Does the general think that the energy consumption will continue?"

After just over two months, the rear started calling.

And Shi Ji doesn't look like he can capture Xiangyang.

Ding Feng lowered his eyebrows and remained silent.

Zhang Ti continued: "There are rumors in both Jianye and Jingzhou that the general attacked Xiangyang to consume the strength of the Shi family and the Bu family... The general is quite suspicious, so he asked the general to lead the navy to attack Beicheng!"

Like the Bu family in Xiling, Shi Ji inherited Zhu Ran's trilogy and position. The Shi family has controlled Jiangling for 42 years.

"It was Shi Ji who first proposed the Northern Expedition to Xiangyang, not someone." Ding Feng said helplessly.

If the battle is won, Xiangyang will return to the Shi family. If the battle is not won, it will all be blamed on Ding Feng...

It is estimated that the people in Jianye think so too.

"The great general can't take Xiangyang all at once. This battle will fall into a struggle for national power. The Eastern Wei and Western Wei each occupy and equalize the land, and there is a pool of stagnant water in the east of the river. If the delay continues, the country will decline and the people will be poor. Therefore, the old story of Prime Minister Zhuge Yuanxun cannot be done by the general. Don’t learn from it.” Zhang Ti cautiously reminded.

Ding Feng frowned, knowing that he was telling the truth.

There are many people in Jiang Dong who want to get rid of him as a great general.

"The country's evils are internal rather than external, even a mere Xiangyang cannot be undone..."

Ding Feng stared at Zhang Ti, making him speechless for the rest of the sentence.

"If Ju is the prime minister first, can Jiang Dong be cheered up?" Ding Feng asked suddenly.

Zhang Ti was dumbfounded, but refused to speak, looking at the river.

The river is heading east, and the warships are shaking on the river.

After a long time, Zhang Ti couldn't bear to reject Ding Feng, and bowed his hands, "Thank you, General, for your love. However, in today's Jiangdong, how can one or two people turn the tide? With the talents of Zhuge Kongming, you can't bring back Shu, let alone me?"

Ding Feng waved his hand and laughed loudly: "Ju Xian is sincere and never deceives me. However, although Kong Ming did not restore the Han Dynasty, he was able to continue the Han family for more than 30 years. There are talents from generation to generation in the world. The people in Jiangdong are prosperous. You and I If Jiangdong can last for 43 years, who knows how the situation in the world will win or lose? You Confucian scholars always think too much. The affairs of the world are nothing more than weapons. Qin Wang Yang Xingyun can kill from Xiping Since then, there has been a huge country in a few decades, Jiangdong has four prefectures and 30 counties, 300 armored soldiers, and a population of [-] million, is it not as good as Xiping back then?"

In 216 A.D., Buzhi, the governor of Jiaozhou in the state of Wu, moved the administration of Jiaozhou from Wuzhou back to Guangzhou, and in 226 A.D. separated from Jiaozhou and established Guangzhou.

Jing, Yang, Jiao, Guang, Wu Guo happens to be four states.

The originally gloomy atmosphere suddenly became agitated.

Judging from the current situation, the struggle between the Eastern and Western Weis has lasted at least 20 years.

It is impossible that the huge Jiangdong has no chance.

Ding Feng was born in a reckless family and spent his entire life in the army. His spirit and will are far from that of Zhang Ti, a Confucian scholar.

Zhang Ti looked at Ding Feng with admiration, "General..."

"Juxian should do his best!" Ding Feng encouraged.

The depression on Zhang Ti's body dissipated immediately, "Ti will be smashed to pieces to repay the country!"

"Great general, great joy, the Qin army's Zhou Zhi troops went out of Xincheng, and went down to Zhuyang, Yinxian, and Rangxian counties, and forced them into Wancheng!" General Shen Ying came to report from Jiangbei in a small boat in surprise.

Zhou Zhi advanced into Nanyang, which advantageously contained Sima Zhao's [-] Chinese army in Wancheng.

Ding Feng has been a soldier all his life, of course he knows that the Qin army is rushing to help the Jingxiang battlefield.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Those who help themselves will be helped by God, and those who do not abandon themselves will not be abandoned by God.

Ding Feng was amazed by the bravery of the Qin army.

A hundred miles to the southeast of Rang County is Xinye, and more than 150 miles to the northeast is Wancheng. The two cities each have heavy troops, and the Qin army dared to advance!

Such an ally is too powerful.

Ding Feng felt that retreating now was a bit of a shame for the kindness of the Qin army, "Order the whole army to attack Xiangyang! My Jiangdong disciples are not inferior to other Qin people!"

He has the ambition of a general, but also the spirit of a general.

On the surface of the river, war drums roared and flags fluttered.

Wu Jun's warship moved like a school of fish.

Shouts erupted.

The surface of the river seemed to be boiling, and gradually spread to Xiangyang North City.

Ding Feng personally sat on the bow and commanded the soldiers to land and attack the city.

Rain of arrows from both sides covered the surface of the river, and blood flowed slowly from the south bank into the river.

The war drums continued to beating, and Wu Jun's shouts were still high.

The elite is the elite, under the leadership of the heroic general Shen Ying, they captured the top of the city in less than an hour, followed by a brutal fight, countless soldiers fell from the city wall, and even the city wall was stained red.

Xiangyang City finally began to shake.

Soochow is only one step away from this important town.

As long as Shi Ji, Bu Xie, Wu Yan and other generals can cooperate sincerely...
