Shu Han of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Moments later, driven by General Pang Tong, hundreds of soldiers from Jiangdong sang Wu songs outside the four walls of Cacheng.

The current situation is rather sad, because Jiangdong Zhou Yu's defeat means that Jiangdong's last force has been exhausted.

The only thing left in Jiangdong is a million people, this empty name.

It is no longer possible for Wudi to establish a strong local power in this era.Jiangdong has always been extremely exclusive.The gentry are very xenophobic, and the people are more xenophobic.

Therefore, they all have a great sense of belonging to the Sun family who has exhausted Jiangdong and ruled the world.

Now, they watched this power collapse with their own eyes.My heart is naturally sad.

But Pang Tong's original intention was not like this. He asked these soldiers to sing songs from their hometown, not dirges.The main idea of ​​the lyrics is to be nostalgic for the hometown.

The purpose is to remind the soldiers in the city of the benefits of their hometown and shake the morale of the army.

And the situation developed just as Pang Tong expected. After Wu songs were sung around, the guards on the top of the city looked yearning.

"Don't listen, don't listen. This is the enemy's attempt to shake our morale. Think back to the time when Wu Wang Fuchai was strong and he went north to fight for hegemony. Sing the battle song."

On the western city gate, Cheng Pu was wearing armor, his beard and hair were all white, but his face was full of red.He still doesn't know about Zhou Yu's defeat and the death of his old brothers Huang Gai and Han Dang.

He only knows now that he wants to stick to the city and provide Zhou Yu with a foothold.Otherwise, if the army is outside and there is no rear, it will be a dead end.

Three generations of veterans, Cheng Pu's prestige is very high.

He roared and drank loudly.The expressions on the faces of the soldiers gradually became firmer, and they no longer missed their hometown.

Under the city, although Pang Tong couldn't see the changes in the hearts of the guards on the city, he could feel it.Cheng Pu shouted too loudly.

"Present your head. Send the heads of Huang Gai, Han Dang and others up. Then send someone to shout. Zhou Yu was defeated. Jingchu has no Jiangdong army. They are just a remnant army. If you surrender early, our general promises, Send you back to Jiangdong hometown, otherwise this city will be your death place."

Pang Tong's expression at this moment was extremely cold, like an executioner with blood on his hands.

"Promise." Ma Su on the side promised, and turned around casually to signal to the right.Riding the horse on the right, Xiang Chong, who had already been prepared, immediately understood.

Divided the soldiers under the tent, went to the north, east, and south gates to persuade them to surrender, and took the heads of Zhu Zhi and Lu Dai. , Han Dang's head, rode forward.

Cheng Pu is the head of the veteran officials of Jiangdong III, and he is most familiar with Huang Gai, Han Dang and others.

Pang Tong believed that these two heads must have greatly stimulated Cheng Pu.Even fainting on the spot is not impossible.

At that time, the morale of the army will float.Maybe it doesn't take three days, but Calcium City can be conquered in one day.

Xiang Chong, a famous general of the Shu Han Dynasty, is well-known in the records of the Three Kingdoms for being good at managing the army. When Liu Bei was defeated in Yiling, only Xiang Chong and another person's battalion was very complete and retreated in an orderly manner.So value it.

At this moment, Xiang Chong's courage has initially appeared.

When the army reached about 100 meters in front of the city gate, Xiang Chong ordered: "Call Zhou Yu to be defeated. Huang Gai, Han Dang, Zhu Zhi, Lu Dai and others all died in battle. You are already trapped in the isolated city. If you surrender General Yang Wu can promise to let you go back to your hometown. If you resist, you will die here."

"People in the city listen, Zhou Yu was defeated, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Zhu Zhi, Lu Dai and others all died in battle. You are already trapped in the isolated city. If you surrender, General Yang Wu can promise to let you go back to your hometown. If you resist, you will die here."

After Xiang Chong gave the order, more than a hundred soldiers replaced the soldiers who had sang Wu songs earlier and began to shout.

The voices of 150 people gathered together are quite powerful.Almost half of the city heard it.

"Hmph, it's fake. I have [-] troops in Jiangdong, how can I just say I'm defeated?" Cheng Pu sneered at the top of the wall.

The soldiers didn't believe it very much, so they all showed expressions of disbelief and deceit.

Under the city, after shouting to the favorite soldiers for a while, they ordered to stop.He also ordered two soldiers to take the heads of Han Dang and Huang Gai, and rode forward in person.

Came under the city.

"Old General Cheng Pu, I know you are here. This is the head of the two old generals Han Dang and Huang Gai. You will know whether what you just yelled is true at a glance. At that time, it is up to you to decide where you will go with the thousands of guards in the city." It's just a thought. You should consider it carefully." As he spoke, Xiang Chong raised his head to look at the city wall and said.

"This." Cheng Pu's complexion changed drastically. When he heard Xiang Chong's words, his first thought was naturally not to believe it.Han Dang and Huang Gai are strong generals in Jiangdong. Although they are old now, they never obey their old age.Even if the situation is bad, it is impossible to lose faith.

False, it must be false.Cheng Pu roared in his heart.But reason tells Cheng Pu that this is very likely to be true.If it's fake, who will send up the head?

At that time, one word can tell the truth.If they saw the fake ones, the defenders of the city might boost their morale. Isn't this digging their own grave?

Trembling, Cheng Pu looked down at the city, at the wooden box held in the hands of the two soldiers beside Xiang Chong.Could it really be his two old friends?

At this time, Cheng Pu wanted to confirm.But he didn't dare, because if it was true.Then the military heart in the city will go.

Who will defend the doomed city?And it's not a city in Jiangdong, it's just a city in Jingzhou.

But if you don't look at it, suspicions will arise everywhere in the army, and the morale of the army will also fluctuate.

At this moment, Cheng Pu found himself at a loss.Except that the two heads under the city are fake, the rest of the roads are impassable.

"It's true, it's false. It's life, it's death. You have to see clearly." In the end, Cheng Pu became more courageous and waved his hand: "Put down the basket and pull it up."

"promise."

The guards on the left and right immediately agreed and put down the two baskets.When the basket fell to the ground, Xiang Chong said to the left and right: "Put it on."

"No." The soldiers on the left and right responded, and put a box containing a human head on the basket respectively.

After the basket was placed, the soldiers on the city began to pull it.Under Cheng Pu's gaze, he slowly came to the city.

In the end, two wooden boxes were placed side by side in front of Cheng Pu.

Maybe there are two of his friends inside?Cheng Pu's heart trembled violently. After a long, long time, he gritted his teeth and opened the box himself.

"Public Fu." When the box on the left was opened and Huang Gai's head was exposed, Cheng Pu felt a sharp pain in his heart and yelled, and then opened another box with bloodshot eyes.

"Yi Gong." When the second box was opened, Han Dang's head was revealed.Tears flowed from Cheng Pu's eyes, he yelled, and passed out completely.

Pang Tong's calculation can be said to be extremely accurate. Cheng Pu is old, no younger than he is, and cannot stand intense stimulation.Now with two heads, Cheng Pu was defeated and fainted.

And the effect is far more than that.

"This, this is true. Huang Gai, the two old generals Han Dang have died in battle, and Zhou Yu, the governor of Jiangdong, has already lost?" Cheng Pu was treated, but there was an uproar even more.

The uproar immediately spread across the entire city wall like some kind of infectious disease.

"The governor was really defeated. Someone saw the heads of two old generals, Han Dang and Huang Gai."

"It's true. I heard that old general Cheng Pu fainted after yelling twice."

The military spirit is floating, and the real military spirit is floating.

The terrified discussion was so loud that even Xiang Chong who was under the city could hear it clearly.Coincidentally at this time, the other three sides also shouted the news that Zhou Yu had been defeated.

The shouts of hundreds of people can be heard clearly here.

Xiang Chong smiled slightly, knowing that the strategy had succeeded.Facing the left and right: "Go, let's go back and wait for the city gate to open."

Saying that, Xiang Chong led the left and right two very calmly back to the camp.

Because of the fluctuating morale of the army, the soldiers on the city did not shoot and kill Xiang Chong in the first time.

"How courageous." After Xiang Chong returned to the camp, Ma Di who was beside him praised Xiang Chong and said.

Xiang Chong smiled modestly and shook his head.

Beside him, Pang Tong had a smile on his face.Ma Di, Xiang Chong, Deng Ai, and that Xu Sheng, all these people in his camp have already demonstrated their talents.

It really is a gathering of stars, and the stars will continue.

These people can guarantee that even after some people in their 30s and [-]s headed by Pang Tong and Jiang Wan died, the talents in Jingchu would not be cut off.

No one can be fooled.

The ancients called themselves old men at the age of 30, and countless people died at the age of 40 or [-].Of course, Pang Tong would not be conceited that he would be able to pass this hurdle.

Therefore, there are many good talents in Jingchu, which is really gratifying.

Compared with the stability under the city, Nan'an in the city is worrying.At this time, Zhu Zhi and Lu Dai's heads were also received on the other two walls.

When Cheng Pu was rescued, there were already four human heads beside him.

"This is?" Cheng Pu asked without realizing it for a while.

"This is the four generals Han Dang, Huang Gai, Zhu Zhi, and Lu Dai." The soldiers on the side trembled.

"Boom." Cheng Pu, who just woke up, felt a strong sense of dizziness in his head, not only Han Dang and Huang Gai, but also Zhu Zhi and Lu Dai.

If there were only Han Dang and Huang Gai, Cheng Pu could lie to himself that Zhou Yu was only defeated, not a complete defeat.

But now it's four people.You must know that there are only five generals under Zhou Yu's account who are capable of leading the army alone, and now four of them are gone.

It's really the end of the world, the end of the world.

At this moment, the idea that rose in Cheng Pu's mind was not to surrender in Kaesong, but to fight to the death with Pang Tong until Pang Tong wiped out Calcium City.

But after circling this crazy idea in Cheng Pu's mind for a while, Cheng Pu gave up.

Cheng Pu has a deep affection for Jiang Dong and a deep sense of belonging to Jiang Dong.He also cherishes Jiangdong soldiers very much.

Emotions accumulated over the decades.Now that Zhou Yu was defeated, even if he survived, he might only be lingering on his last breath.

This war of aggression against Jingchu has completely failed. They are just a group of remnants trapped in other people's territory, unable to advance or retreat.

Death can only be in vain.

Moreover, Cheng Pu also believed that Pang Tong would not attack the city. At this time, he only needed to surround the calcium city and wait for the food in the city to run out.

You can go down without a fight.

It is also impossible for Cheng Pu to be able to cause too much loss to Pang Tong.

Cheng Pu raised his head, looking at the soldiers surrounding him, he couldn't bear it.

Abandon Liu Feng's nonsense about sending them back to Jiangdong after they leave the city and surrender.After they surrendered, at least they could survive.

Why bother to make sacrifices in today's situation?

Jiangdong, hehe, Jiangdong.It's over.Smart people can see the current situation. Liu Feng's power has already reached the sky, and Jiangdong is shrinking further.

Even if Jiangdong is not destroyed now, it is only a matter of time.

Thinking about it, Cheng Pu stood up staggeringly, and ordered: "I'll go to the city to think about countermeasures first, and don't act rashly before I issue an order."

"No." The soldiers looked flickering, and many of them had the idea of ​​surrendering the city in their hearts, but Cheng Pu had high prestige after all, and the soldiers didn't dare to express their hearts for a while.

After Cheng Pu gave the order, he rode his horse and returned to his own mansion.Shut himself in the study, and the soldiers are not allowed to enter.

After I went in, I never came out.Until half an hour later, a soldier was frightened, and after discussing with several soldiers, he broke in.

Cheng Pu's body was also found, kneeling on the ground, with a long and narrow wound on his neck, bleeding all over the ground.There are two volumes of bamboo slips in front of the case.

"General." Several soldiers yelled, and after a while, they burst into tears.

The soldiers are always the closest people to the general. Cheng Pu is so old, and some of his old soldiers are even in their twilight years.

Feelings are naturally deep.

This cry lasted for half a quarter of an hour, and after half a quarter of an hour, the soldiers opened the bamboo slips and looked at them, and then endured the grief in their hearts and walked out of the prefect's mansion.

Not long after, one of the bamboo slips was sent out of the city by the soldiers and placed on Pang Tong's case.

Pang Tong waited outside for a long time, but he did not see Cheng Pu open the city and surrendered. He was a little disappointed, so he returned to the camp. Unexpectedly, an hour later, things changed again.

"This is?" Pang Tong looked at the bamboo slips on the case suspiciously, raised his head and glanced at Cheng Pu, who came with the bamboo slips, his eyes were red, and said personally.

"This is the old general's last order. If the general can agree to the matter above, the old general will order Kaicheng to surrender." The soldier choked up.

"Desire?" Pang Tong was moved. It can be regarded as the merits of the Sun family. These generals in Jiangdong and Cheng Pu, five of them either died in battle or committed suicide.

They are all staunch and loyal ministers.

Pang Tong solemnly opened the bamboo slips, only to see a condition and a request from Cheng Pu written on the bamboo slips.

The condition is to sew Huang Gai, Han Dang, Zhu Zhi, and Lu Dai to the corpses, and among them, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and himself are buried in a random place.Three people together.In addition, Zhu Zhi and Lu Dai asked others to put them in the coffin and send them back to Jiangdong.

This is the condition.

Another request is to treat the guards in the city well.

"I agree to the conditions above. In addition, you can rest assured that if you surrender, I will keep my promise and let thousands of you return to Jiangdong. However, that will have to wait until after my lord has pacified Jiangdong." After reading it, Pang Tong was very Solemnly said to this soldier.

"Thank you, General." Seeing that Cheng Pu's last wish had been fulfilled, the soldiers couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief and said gratefully.

In the 14th year of Jian'an, Zhou Yu, the governor of the Jiangdong Expeditionary Army, was defeated outside Jiangling City, and four generals under his tent died in battle. Three days later, Cheng Pu, the general who stayed behind in Jiacheng, committed suicide.

Thousands of defenders surrendered.

After this battle, Liu Feng's army really took control of Jiangling County.As long as Liu Bei is defeated, he can go north to attack Xiangyang.

In addition, Jiang Dong, who had lost so many veteran generals and elite troops, was no longer a threat.

Above the Yangtze River, north of Hukou Water Village.

Gan Ning's [-] sailors straddled the Yangtze River.The boats stretched endlessly, completely blocking the Yangtze River.No matter whether it is Jiangdong's luggage that is going to support Zhou Yu, or the merchant ships from Jiangdong, no one can pass.If you force your way, the ship will be destroyed and people will die.

In the comparison between Jingchu and Jiangdong forces, the most obvious place is the navy.When Liu Feng first occupied Jiangxia, Jiangdong's navy was still number one in the world.They regard Liu Biao's Jingzhou as their back garden.You can rely on the navy to break into Jingzhou at any time.

After Gan Ning defeated Wu and Zhou Yu's army suffered disastrous defeats one after another, Jiangdong's navy was also in a state of collapse.

Now Zhou Tai, who is guarding Hukou, has only 5000 sailors left.I could only watch helplessly as Gan Ning's six thousand sailors floated on the river, blocking the Yangtze River.

Hukou Shuizhai, the gate of the village is closed.Zhou Tai stood on the water village with a pale face, looking forward.

Gan Ning's attack on Hukou was unsuccessful.Because Zhou Tai was too vigilant, and his defensive power was extremely astonishing.But Zhou Tai couldn't drive Gan Ning away either.

Because Gan Ning had a large army, excellent weapons, abundant arrows, and powerful warships.Zhou Tai had launched attacks on Gan Ning several times, but each time Gan Ning blatantly counterattacked.

Lose more and win less.In the end, Zhou Tai could only helplessly guard the water village, watching Gan Ning run amok on the river.

The reason for Zhou Tai's livid face was not only because he felt humiliated by the trampling of his former glory.Also because they have lost contact with Zhou Yu.

Judging by Gan Ning's rampage across the river, Zhou Yu's situation may be dangerous.The luggage cannot be reached, and there is no supply.

Zhou Tai couldn't imagine what kind of situation Zhou Yu would face.

"Hey." Zhou Tai sighed, turned around and went back to the water village.Even now, he has no ability to attack Gan Ning.I can only wait.

Three days later, among the many boats on the river, a stick with the word "Gan" was under its banner.

Gan Ning finally received the news from the rear that Zhou Yu was defeated, and Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai, Zhu Zhi, Lu Dai and others all died in battle.

"Haha, Jiangdong is defeated." Gan Ning laughed a few times, and then happily said: "Order, order the soldiers to shout out the news. I'm done, and return to Xiakou immediately."

Gan Ning's mission is to block Zhou Yu's connection with Jiangdong, now that the mission is completed, there is no need to stay in Jiangzhong.

Following Gan Ning's order.

The boats turned around one after another and returned to Xiakou.The 6000 people on board even made a loud cry.

"Jiangling news, Zhou Yu was defeated, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai, Zhu Zhi, Lu Dai and others died in battle. General Zhou Tai should report to Sun Quan quickly so that he can think of a countermeasure earlier, haha."

A burst of laughter floated over the Yangtze River.

But Zhou Tai, who was staying in the water village, changed his complexion drastically.My heart was shocked, if Zhou Yu really died.Zhou Tai stopped hesitating immediately and waved his hand: "Send spies to Jiangling to investigate the situation."
