Silver Fox of the Three Kingdoms
Chapter 205 Capture Sun Quan Alive
Chapter 205 Capture Sun Quan Alive
After Wankou became the front line of the war between Jiangdong and Jingzhou, Lingyang became the rear area.
If you look at Jiangdong's entire layout along the Yangtze River from the map, you will find that their defenses are quite rigorous and can be called watertight.
There are two ways to attack Jiangdong from Yuzhang. One is to go down the Yangtze River, which is Huang Zu's previous attack route.
The other is the land route Liu Pan took, from Nanchang to Yingtan, Shangrao, Quzhou, Jinhua, Yiwu, and Shaoxing to Hangzhou.
The reason why there are only these two roads is because the north bank of the Yangtze River is the Dabie Mountains, and the south is the southeast hills and mountains. Countless high mountains wrap the entire lower reaches of the Yangtze River, making it difficult to cross.
Coupled with the natural danger of the Yangtze River, Jiangdong is even more dangerous geographically than the Sichuan Basin.
It's no wonder that once the Central Plains Dynasty lost the north, they would choose to migrate to Jiangdong one after another.As a result, several generations of emperors such as the Eastern Wu, Eastern Jin, Song, Qi, Liang, Chen, and Southern Song and Nanming were created.
The current situation is the same as the countless attacks on Jiangdong later.
On the southern line, because Liu Pan's land supply line was stretched too long, Jiang Dong wisely took a defensive position and chose to defend in the Qiantang area, which eventually dragged down Liu Pan's supply and forced him to withdraw his troops back to Nanchang.
On the northern route, Jiangdong chose Anqing as the forward position, and then Zongyang, Hulin, and Nanling, that is, the later Zongyang County and Chizhou City, as the rear line of defense.
In this way, when Jiangdong faced Huang Zu's attack, he was in a stage of blocking.
Even if Huang Zu defeated Anqing, the Jiangdong army could retreat to Zongyang and other places to continue defending, chain Hengjiang, and drag down the enemy step by step.
This is why Jia Xu suggested that Liu Biao can become emperor if he wins Yuzhang.
Because if you continue to attack eastward, it will be much more difficult than capturing Yuzhang, and you don't know if you will fight until the year of the monkey.
Therefore, it is the best choice to achieve a strategic victory first, take advantage of the time when the army is in full swing, and then gradually consolidate the territory, capture Jiangdong and Yizhou in one fell swoop, and dominate the south.
As for Lingyang.
It is still behind the Nanling of Zongyang Hulin, more than 100 kilometers away from the front line Wankou, and it is also a storage point for some of the grain and grass.
When Zhou Yu arranged the grain and grass arrangements, he placed part of the grain in Wan County to support Wankou.
The other part is placed in Juchao to support Zongyang Hulin Nanling and other places.
The last part was placed in the rear of Lingyang.
Therefore, to a certain extent, Shen Chen's decision to go to Lingyang was due to a mistake in the place where Jiangdong was hoarding grain and grass.
The fleet went down the river.
Passing through Zongyang, Hulin, and Nanling along the way, there are beacon towers on the banks of the river. Jiangdong soldiers on the beacon towers saw ships with Jiangdong flag passing by, and they all played flags to identify the ships.
But because the semaphore of the Jiangdong navy system is very different from that of the Jiangxia system, Shen Chen ordered that he didn't bother to answer, and drove all the way to Qingshui.
So all of a sudden there was a lot of smoke.
From yesterday to now, Lu Su had no time to report to the south.
The first is that the Beacon Tower is almost unusable due to the rainy weather, and the second is that they have been besieged yesterday, and the pier is occupied by others, so there is no way to get out of the boat.
The only way to get out of the boat is to enter Wanshui from the west gate of Wankou, but it still passes Anqing Pavilion, and the Yangtze River is still in the flood season.
So until now, the Jiangdong Army's rear has not known the news of the enemy's appearance in Wankou.
It was obviously too late to report again at this time.
The speed of the boat sailed rapidly under the blessing of the speed of the water. There were a large number of rowers in the eight large boats, and they drove mightily on the wide river surface of more than two or three miles, heading towards the lower reaches of the Yangtze River like a flying boat.
Only two hours later, the fleet arrived at Qingshui Port. Compared with the Yangtze River, the Qingshui River is much narrower, but it is still nearly 200 meters wide.
Under the excellent operation of the Jingzhou Navy, the army soon sailed into the river and headed towards Lingyang.
From the moment they entered Qingshui, the plains on both sides of the river turned into mountains.
And the most important thing is that there is no beacon tower along the way.
Compared with the Yangtze River, Qingshui's strategic position is far from being comparable to that of the Yangtze River.
Even if they enter Wuhu from Qingshui to Taiping Lake, and then from Taiping Lake to Qingyi River downstream, they can reach the hinterland of Jiangdong and threaten Jiangdong's rear.
But the problem is that this road is too dangerous, and there are several cities blocking it. It is ten times more dangerous than the wide water surface of the Yangtze River. No matter how powerful the army is, it will not take the risk of taking this waterway .
Therefore, the banks of the Yangtze River belonged to Jiangdong's key defense area, while Qingshui's defense was extremely empty.Especially when the main force of the Jiangdong navy is exhausted, and even Wankou in the rear has only more than 1000 people left behind.
The first city encountered from the south of Qingshui is called Lincheng. It was built by Sun Quan in the eighth year of Jian'an, that is, two years ago. The waterways of the Yangtze River extending in all directions attacked the enemy's rear.
At this time, the small city did not have any tight defenses, and Shen Chen stood on the boat and looked at it.
I saw that under the deep mountains and old forests on the left bank of Qingshui, there is a small town surrounded by jungles, standing on the edge of the river, and a few Jiangdong soldiers are scattered on the river bank. They are obviously not able to understand why. Suddenly several large ships appeared in such a large rear.
"Let Qu Gan go and take this city!"
Shen Chen gave the order.
The flag bearer on the lower mast gives instructions to the rear.
The two battleships led by Qu Gan immediately changed their course and rushed towards Lincheng.
The defenders on the shore didn't realize that the opponent's clothes were completely different from theirs until they got close. They were clearly the clothes of the enemy Jiang Xia's navy. Their expressions changed in horror and they hurriedly ran towards the city.
After a while, when Shen Chen's army continued to march southward toward Lingyang, the less than 500 defenders in Lincheng had escaped completely, and Qu Gan led [-] people to easily occupy this area. Lincheng is an outpost city.
"General, Lingyang is ahead."
The ship sailed at high speed, and after a while, it came out of the hills and mountains on both sides of the bank, and a plain and valley appeared in front of it.
A city stands on the left bank of the valley, and there is a wharf at the mouth of the river outside the city, with many ships on it.
Shen Chen came over to watch. He found that Lincheng and Lingyang were indeed places that were easy to defend and difficult to attack. Moreover, Jiangdong's defense line was indeed empty at this time. If he had sufficient food supplies and sufficient personnel, he would really dare to follow suit. Along Jingxi, which is the Qingyi River in later generations, all the way to Wuhu.
It's a pity that there is not enough food and personnel.
Just thinking about it, the fleet is less than two miles away from Lingyang, and the river is wide. People on the pier saw them early. Unlike the defenders in Lincheng, these people blew their horns one after another. Due to the different systems of the two sides, Jiangxia The sailors didn't know what they were blowing.
After a while, their fleet was still sailing at high speed. Seeing that there was no response from the other party, the defenders of Lingyang immediately sensed that something was wrong, and immediately blew the urgent horn, which made the whole city panic.
At this moment in Lingyang City, a young man in his twenties was kneeling and reading a book in the study in the backyard of the county government mansion, when he heard a faint sound outside the city, he frowned and looked up.
"General!"
An old man in his fifties hurried into the backyard and said to the young man, "Let's go."
"What happened to Master Dongfang?"
That young man was Sun Quan, and the lord of the East he was talking about was Zhang Hong, and Sun Quan usually called the officials of the Jiangdong group by Biao, but only Zhang Zhao called Zhang Gong, and Zhang Hong called the lord of the East to show respect.
Zhang Hong said in a deep voice: "A Jiangxia navy came from nowhere and raided Lingyang, follow me quickly."
"what?"
Sun Quan was shocked, and quickly dropped his book and got up to run away with Zhang Hong. Finally, he remembered something and went to get the seal placed aside.
His current status is Zhennan General, Kuaiji Prefect, and Marquis of Wu. Among them, the highest position is the Marquis of Wu, the Marquis of Wuxian County, which is awarded by the gold medal and purple, which is a symbol of status.
Therefore, other seals will not be carried with me, but this Wuhou gold seal is always carried with me, and it is used as a seal when issuing orders.
After taking the seal, Sun Quan and Zhang Hong hurried out of the backyard. There were dozens of guards in the backyard and front yard, protecting him all the way to the south gate.
At this moment, there was a sound of shouting and killing from the top of the city. In just a short while, the west city gate was breached, and the enemy entered the city.
There were not many defenders in Lingyang, less than 500 people. Shen Chen launched a sudden attack again. A large number of ladders directly climbed up the city wall to fight fiercely with the Jiangdong army, and quickly took the city down.
The defeated soldiers of the Jiangdong Army ran towards the east gate and into the mountains behind, but Sun Quan and Zhang Hong took advantage of the chaos and ran out of the south gate, intending to go down the river and find a boat to Jinghu, which is Later generations went to Taiping Lake at the foot of Huangshan Mountain in Anhui.
Soon they ran two miles away and saw several boats near the fishing village to the south. Zhang Hong went over happily and sent people to negotiate with the local people.
But they had just boarded the boat, before the boat was rowed, the two battleships flew down like arrows, it was too late to go ashore at this time, and soon they were surrounded by these two battleships.
"General, quickly, give me the seal."
Seeing this situation, Zhang Hong took off his belt and secretly handed it to Sun Quan, and then went to get his golden seal.
Sun Quan hesitated, and finally gave him the seal of Marquis Wu.
Zhang Hong pretended to be afraid and squatted on the side of the boat, secretly threw the seal and Sun Quan's belt into the water, and at the same time whispered to the surrounding guards not to reveal Sun Quan's identity.
Sun Quan's face twitched as he watched Zhang Hong throw his seal into the water.
This is his favorite seal, and it also symbolizes his identity!Just like that, it was sunk into the bottom of the river.
At this time, Shen Chen's figure appeared above the huge fighting ship, and there were more than 20 people on the other side, a total of three small boats were surrounded by two fighting ships, Shen Chen looked down at the fishing boat below, and said in a deep voice: "Who is the defender of Lingyang City? "
Everyone looked at Sun Quan almost instinctively.
But Zhang Hong happened to be standing beside Sun Quan, so he stood up and said, "It's the old man!"
"Who are you?"
Shen Chen asked.
Zhang Hong replied: "Old Zhang Hong."
"So it's Mr. Zigang."
Shen Chen's tone softened, and he cupped his hands and said, "I don't know if Mr. Zigang is here, how offending you are."
Zhang Hong thought that the other party was going to let him go, so he said happily, "Will the general let me go?"
Shen Chen smiled and said: "I am also a Confucian student, and I like to study the way of Confucian classics most. It is really a blessing to meet Zi Ganggong today. Please come to the city with me so that I can ask for advice face to face."
Zhang Hong is a great Confucian in Jiangdong, and his status is comparable to that of Song Zhong, a great Confucian in Jingzhou. In his early years, he studied scriptures with many great Confucians, and later returned to Guangling. Bi, is a very famous scribe.
Shen Chen himself also studied Confucian classics, and his reputation in Jingzhou was already very large, but at that time, each school was different. For example, Jingzhou was good at ancient Chinese classics, and Bashu was popular in modern classics, so when I met a great Confucian, I naturally wanted to discuss it.
More importantly, Zhang Hong is not only a great Confucian in Jiangdong, but also Sun Quan's most important counselor. With this card in his hand, Zhou Yu and others will not dare to attack Lingyang even if they return to the army. At that time, he will choose from Lingyang Yang retreated to Nanchang to play a game of chess, which made him feel much happier.
"I don't have enough talent to learn, how can I teach you?"
Zhang Hong's face showed embarrassment.
Shen Chen pulled out the knife at his waist and said with a smile: "Chen Chen in the East China Sea, if you are willing to discuss Confucian classics with me, you will be fine. If you don't want to, I have no choice but to kill you. After all, we are fighting now. Lord."
Shen Chen from the East China Sea?
Sun Quan clenched his fists and slowly reached out to touch the Wuyue Sword at his waist.
It is different from the vegetable chicken that everyone imagined in later generations.
In fact, in the early days, Sun Quan would go to the battlefield in person many times, and in the mid-term Hefei battle, he also died on the front line and led to a big defeat.
When fighting against Huangzu and Shanyue, Sun Quan also killed the enemy several times, which is quite brave as a father and brother.
It's just that Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong and others repeatedly warned him, and then they restrained themselves.
So to a certain extent, Sun Quan did not lack the courage to fight the enemy with his own hands.
It's just that his force value is limited, and he can't compare with his father and brother, so the battle of Hefei became a joke.
"So it's General Shen."
Zhang Hong stopped in front of Sun Quan, and said with a wry smile, "I've heard about the general's name for a long time. If that's the case, then I have no choice but to go with the general."
"This kid still dares to touch the sword, but he has some courage."
Shen Chen had already noticed Sun Quan beside him, pointed at him with a knife and said, "What's your name?"
Sun Quan's appearance is actually not purple beard and blue eyes, but just tall and straight, so it's hard to tell who this person is just from his appearance.
"This is the dog Henry Zhang."
Zhang Hong hurriedly said: "My son wants to protect my heart, be filial and righteous, and I hope the general will forgive me."
"The big man ruled the world with filial piety. Since it is an act of filial piety, naturally it cannot be blamed."
Shen Chen retracted his knife and smiled.
In the Han Dynasty, it was normal for a son to use a knife to kill a father when his father was threatened.
There was no enmity between the two of them, and neither of them was a villain, it was simply a difference of stand, one was the Jingzhou Army, the other was the Jiangdong Army, that's all.
So he didn't violently kill people because of the other party's actions, but if that kid didn't know what to do, he didn't mind killing Zhang Hong and his son.
After all, this is a time of war, where life and death are fought on the battlefield, and one should not be scrupled just because the opponent is a well-known Confucian.
Zhang Hong immediately said: "I am willing to follow the general into the city, but please let the general let me go."
"That won't work."
Shen Chen pointed to the guards around him and said, "You can go, and tell Sun Quan that Jingzhou is not a place he can get his hands on. I advise him to return to the court as soon as possible, and don't think about becoming king. Sir and your son, stay in the mausoleum." Yang. When I want to withdraw my troops and leave, I will naturally let you go."
Everyone looked at each other.
Sun Quan was quite courageous, and stood up to Ling Ran and said, "I would like to live and die with my father, so you go. Go back and tell Marquis Wu that he has inherited his father and brother's foundation, and Jiang Dong must not give it up. Don't worry about the safety of my father and son."
"Hahahahahaha."
Shen Chen laughed loudly and said: "You are very courageous, I admire you very much, you are willing to come to Jingzhou."
"Loyal ministers don't matter to two masters!"
Sun Quan was not afraid, and looked at him fiercely.
"it is good."
Shen Chen nodded: "Let's go away, Mr. Zhang, please follow me into Lingyang!"
Many Sun Quan's personal guards hesitated for a while.
Zhang Hong sighed and said, "You guys go, remember to go back and report to Marquis Wu!"
"only!"
The guards had no choice but to take orders and go.
Shen Chen brought Zhang Hong and Sun Quan back to Lingyang City.
At this moment, the battle in Lingyang City was over. When the city was broken, all the defenders ran away, discarding their helmets and armor, and disappeared into the Huangshan Mountains to the east.
The prisoners also captured more than a dozen, but after interrogation, they all said that the main general in the city was Zhang Hong, and did not disclose Sun Quan's information.
These people are all loyal to the Sun family, even if no one tells them, they naturally keep their mouths shut.
Since Shen Chen didn't know about Sun Quan's presence, he didn't think about catching a big fish. Instead, he asked about other details, such as Jiangdong's layout, food and grass arrangements.
The food and grass in the city were piled up like a mountain. Originally, 5000 people did not bring much food when they came out. Now that they were hungry, they were replenished all at once, and they immediately began to guard the city.
In the next period of time, while Shen Chen sent people to garrison Lincheng, he also sent people to go south along the Qingshui River, enter Jinghu Lake, and then head towards Yi County to open up the road from Jinghu Lake to Poshui. At the same time, he sent people to contact Liu Pan, let him arrange reinforcements as soon as possible.
And at night, that is, the second night after Huang Zu was attacked, Zhou Yu, who was still attacking Xunyang City at this time, had already learned the news.
Zhou Yu led an army to raid Xunyang, defeated the Jiangxia navy, and even captured Huang Zu alive, and surrounded Xunyang City.
At that time, Xunyang was already in danger, Huang Zu was captured, countless Jiangxia navy soldiers were killed and captured, and a large number of soldiers broke up and fled. Except that Su Fei and Deng Long repelled part of the Jiangdong navy led by Cheng Pu on the river. , the whole battle situation is tilting towards Jiangdong.
At this time, I suddenly heard the news that a school of Jiangxia navy had actually killed Wankou and headed straight for Lingyang. Zhou Yu was so frightened that he withdrew his troops hastily. Robbed.
As a last resort, he could only choose to return to Wankou by land. Although there is still a plain area on the north bank of the Yangtze River for them to walk, compared to taking a boat, the walking speed is much slower.
So it was not until the night of the third day that Zhou Yu led the main force to walk more than 100 kilometers for two days and returned to Wankou City.
Yesterday, I got the bad news from the mobile phone news. There was a power outage for a day. I can only say that the third master is going well all the way. I will always remember your image, and I will shape your image well. I also hope that Mr. Sun can take care of his health.
This month has been an eventful one. For more than ten days at the beginning of the month, I kept changing my [-]D daily. As a result, I fell ill a few days ago and had to take it easy. Yesterday, the water and electricity cut off and I was forced to take another day off. Today I wanted to work hard. , continue to start day by day, come together in the morning, I have become yellow code. . . .Afterwards, I had to go to the hospital every day to report that I was quarantined and then tested for nucleic acid. It was said that it would take three days, which was really uncomfortable.I will work hard to code first, as much as I can code, this is helpless, no one can do anything about it, but don’t worry, as long as I turn green, I promise to work hard every day and code crazily.

Everyone looked at Sun Quan almost instinctively.
But Zhang Hong happened to be standing beside Sun Quan, so he stood up and said, "It's the old man!"
"Who are you?"
Shen Chen asked.
Zhang Hong replied: "Old Zhang Hong."
"So it's Mr. Zigang."
Shen Chen's tone softened, and he cupped his hands and said, "I don't know if Mr. Zigang is here, how offending you are."
Zhang Hong thought that the other party was going to let him go, so he said happily, "Will the general let me go?"
Shen Chen smiled and said: "I am also a Confucian student, and I like to study the way of Confucian classics most. It is really a blessing to meet Zi Ganggong today. Please come to the city with me so that I can ask for advice face to face."
Zhang Hong is a great Confucian in Jiangdong, and his status is comparable to that of Song Zhong, a great Confucian in Jingzhou. In his early years, he studied scriptures with many great Confucians, and later returned to Guangling. Bi, is a very famous scribe.
Shen Chen himself also studied Confucian classics, and his reputation in Jingzhou was already very large, but at that time, each school was different. For example, Jingzhou was good at ancient Chinese classics, and Bashu was popular in modern classics, so when I met a great Confucian, I naturally wanted to discuss it.
More importantly, Zhang Hong is not only a great Confucian in Jiangdong, but also Sun Quan's most important counselor. With this card in his hand, Zhou Yu and others will not dare to attack Lingyang even if they return to the army. At that time, he will choose from Lingyang Yang retreated to Nanchang to play a game of chess, which made him feel much happier.
"I don't have enough talent to learn, how can I teach you?"
Zhang Hong's face showed embarrassment.
Shen Chen pulled out the knife at his waist and said with a smile: "Chen Chen in the East China Sea, if you are willing to discuss Confucian classics with me, you will be fine. If you don't want to, I have no choice but to kill you. After all, we are fighting now. Lord."
Shen Chen from the East China Sea?
Sun Quan clenched his fists and slowly reached out to touch the Wuyue Sword at his waist.
It is different from the vegetable chicken that everyone imagined in later generations.
In fact, in the early days, Sun Quan would go to the battlefield in person many times, and in the mid-term Hefei battle, he also died on the front line and led to a big defeat.
When fighting against Huangzu and Shanyue, Sun Quan also killed the enemy several times, which is quite brave as a father and brother.
It's just that Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong and others repeatedly warned him, and then they restrained themselves.
So to a certain extent, Sun Quan did not lack the courage to fight the enemy with his own hands.
It's just that his force value is limited, and he can't compare with his father and brother, so the battle of Hefei became a joke.
"So it's General Shen."
Zhang Hong stopped in front of Sun Quan, and said with a wry smile, "I've heard about the general's name for a long time. If that's the case, then I have no choice but to go with the general."
"This kid still dares to touch the sword, but he has some courage."
Shen Chen had already noticed Sun Quan beside him, pointed at him with a knife and said, "What's your name?"
Sun Quan's appearance is actually not purple beard and blue eyes, but just tall and straight, so it's hard to tell who this person is just from his appearance.
"This is the dog Henry Zhang."
Zhang Hong hurriedly said: "My son wants to protect my heart, be filial and righteous, and I hope the general will forgive me."
"The big man ruled the world with filial piety. Since it is an act of filial piety, naturally it cannot be blamed."
Shen Chen retracted his knife and smiled.
In the Han Dynasty, it was normal for a son to use a knife to kill a father when his father was threatened.
There was no enmity between the two of them, and neither of them was a villain, it was simply a difference of stand, one was the Jingzhou Army, the other was the Jiangdong Army, that's all.
So he didn't violently kill people because of the other party's actions, but if that kid didn't know what to do, he didn't mind killing Zhang Hong and his son.
After all, this is a time of war, where life and death are fought on the battlefield, and one should not be scrupled just because the opponent is a well-known Confucian.
Zhang Hong immediately said: "I am willing to follow the general into the city, but please let the general let me go."
"That won't work."
Shen Chen pointed to the guards around him and said, "You can go, and tell Sun Quan that Jingzhou is not a place he can get his hands on. I advise him to return to the court as soon as possible, and don't think about becoming king. Sir and your son, stay in the mausoleum." Yang. When I want to withdraw my troops and leave, I will naturally let you go."
Everyone looked at each other.
Sun Quan was quite courageous, and stood up to Ling Ran and said, "I would like to live and die with my father, so you go. Go back and tell Marquis Wu that he has inherited his father and brother's foundation, and Jiang Dong must not give it up. Don't worry about the safety of my father and son."
"Hahahahahaha."
Shen Chen laughed loudly and said: "You are very courageous, I admire you very much, you are willing to come to Jingzhou."
"Loyal ministers don't matter to two masters!"
Sun Quan was not afraid, and looked at him fiercely.
"it is good."
Shen Chen nodded: "Let's go away, Mr. Zhang, please follow me into Lingyang!"
Many Sun Quan's personal guards hesitated for a while.
Zhang Hong sighed and said, "You guys go, remember to go back and report to Marquis Wu!"
"only!"
The guards had no choice but to take orders and go.
Shen Chen brought Zhang Hong and Sun Quan back to Lingyang City.
At this moment, the battle in Lingyang City was over. When the city was broken, all the defenders ran away, discarding their helmets and armor, and disappeared into the Huangshan Mountains to the east.
The prisoners also captured more than a dozen, but after interrogation, they all said that the main general in the city was Zhang Hong, and did not disclose Sun Quan's information.
These people are all loyal to the Sun family, even if no one tells them, they naturally keep their mouths shut.
Since Shen Chen didn't know about Sun Quan's presence, he didn't think about catching a big fish. Instead, he asked about other details, such as Jiangdong's layout, food and grass arrangements.
The food and grass in the city were piled up like a mountain. Originally, 5000 people did not bring much food when they came out. Now that they were hungry, they were replenished all at once, and they immediately began to guard the city.
In the next period of time, while Shen Chen sent people to garrison Lincheng, he also sent people to go south along the Qingshui River, enter Jinghu Lake, and then head towards Yi County to open up the road from Jinghu Lake to Poshui. At the same time, he sent people to contact Liu Pan, let him arrange reinforcements as soon as possible.
And at night, that is, the second night after Huang Zu was attacked, Zhou Yu, who was still attacking Xunyang City at this time, had already learned the news.
Zhou Yu led an army to raid Xunyang, defeated the Jiangxia navy, and even captured Huang Zu alive, and surrounded Xunyang City.
At that time, Xunyang was already in danger, Huang Zu was captured, countless Jiangxia navy soldiers were killed and captured, and a large number of soldiers broke up and fled. Except that Su Fei and Deng Long repelled part of the Jiangdong navy led by Cheng Pu on the river. , the whole battle situation is tilting towards Jiangdong.
At this time, I suddenly heard the news that a school of Jiangxia navy had actually killed Wankou and headed straight for Lingyang. Zhou Yu was so frightened that he withdrew his troops hastily. Robbed.
As a last resort, he could only choose to return to Wankou by land. Although there is still a plain area on the north bank of the Yangtze River for them to walk, compared to taking a boat, the walking speed is much slower.
So it was not until the night of the third day that Zhou Yu led the main force to walk more than 100 kilometers for two days and returned to Wankou City.
Yesterday, I got the bad news from the mobile phone news. There was a power outage for a day. I can only say that the third master is going well all the way. I will always remember your image, and I will shape your image well. I also hope that Mr. Sun can take care of his health.
This month has been an eventful one. For more than ten days at the beginning of the month, I kept changing my [-]D daily. As a result, I fell ill a few days ago and had to take it easy. Yesterday, the water and electricity cut off and I was forced to take another day off. Today I wanted to work hard. , continue to start day by day, come together in the morning, I have become yellow code. . . .Afterwards, I had to go to the hospital every day to report that I was quarantined and then tested for nucleic acid. It was said that it would take three days, which was really uncomfortable.I will work hard to code first, as much as I can code, this is helpless, no one can do anything about it, but don’t worry, as long as I turn green, I promise to work hard every day and code crazily.
