Chapter 451 Dangyang ([-]) Asking for Monthly Ticket Support
The footsteps of the Wuxi barbarian army were like an unstoppable torrent on the land of Nanjun, smashing through barriers at every level.

Forcibly crossing Jushui, crossing Nanzhang River, gathered at Lankou and beheaded Chen Ying, the defender.

Although Sha Moke's limelight is not as good as that of Dong Pi who is far away in Luoyang, but among the 81 counties in the nine prefectures of Jingxiang, no one can match him.After 20 days of raiding, the Wuxi barbarian army finally arrived at the Yishui River. It only needs to cross the Yishui River to seize Yicheng, which is considered to have fulfilled the strategic intention of sending troops.Shamoke couldn't help being ecstatic in his heart, and ordered the three armies to set up a camp by the Yishui River, and forcefully cross the Yishui River in the next day to capture Yicheng.

The moonlight was bright, Sha Moke held onto the steel whip, stood by the Yishui River, and looked across the river.

On the other side of the river, the camp of the Jingzhou army stood upright in the night, and the occasional sound of fighting was clearly audible.

Hu Leibo leisurely followed behind Sha Moke, nibbling the green grass on the bank from time to time.Fifty fighters were about a hundred steps away from Shamoko, watching the movement around them vigilantly.These fighters all came to Wuling with Shamoke from the Western Regions.

There was no smile on Zhou Chao's chubby face.

He stood beside Sha Moke, feeling uneasy.

The war went so smoothly!

The smoothness is unbelievable. Sometimes Zhou Chao feels that all this is just a dream.Woke up from the dream, nothing left...

He wanted to remind Sha Moke, but Zhou Chao felt a little scared when he saw that ferocious tiger-like face.

On the contrary, Shamoke sensed Zhou Chao's uneasy mood, and said with a calm smile, "Ling Xian, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"Your Majesty, the last general just feels that everything is going so smoothly, it doesn't seem normal."

"Is it going well?"

Zhou Chao couldn't hear the joy and anger in Shamoke's tone, so he boldly replied: "It's not that it's not good, but... I remember the governor once said: When things go wrong, there must be demons. The Jingzhou army is not weak. Moreover, there are quite a few talented people under Liu Biao's command. It stands to reason that the fight along the way should never be so smooth... The last general will think that there may be problems. After all, Li Yan is extraordinary."

Although Samoko was dazzled by the victory at this moment, he was not without thoughts.

Li Yan...

This person is very familiar to Samoco.At the beginning of the fierce battle in Wancheng for more than a hundred days, Shamoke and Li Yan fought side by side, and had experienced Li Yan's ruthless methods.Therefore, Sha Moke was still very scrupulous about Li Yan, and somewhat wary.

Ordering Mei Cheng to guard the way of Yi is actually out of this consideration.

As long as Yidao is in hand, Shamoke's Wuxi barbarian army will have a retreat. If they fail, they can safely retreat from Yidao into Jishan and return to Wuling.

After pondering for a moment, Samoke said, "What do you think Ling Xian should do?"

Zhou Chao thought for a while, "Your Majesty has come this far, and Chao also said something about retreating. However, when crossing the river tomorrow, Your Majesty must be careful of the Jingzhou army's surprise attack from Jingshan Mountain. There must be generals guarding the flanks. Chao thought that... he could be ordered." Guo Shi led the army and guarded the main road of Jingshan."

Sha Moke nodded, "What Ling Xian said is very true... what else?"

"If I were Li Yan, I would definitely attack from the side suddenly when our army's offensive is fierce. Therefore, Lankouju has to be defensive."

The same as "Jin" on the big river, "Ju" in Jingzhou also means ferry.

There are Wushejin, Mengjin and other ferries on the big river.And there are more in Jingzhou. Only in Nanjun, there are two major ferries, Lankouju and Danyangju.

In addition, there are countless ferries, large and small, most of which are named after "Ju".

For example, there are place names such as Linjuju and Nanzhangju on the water of Nanzhang and the bank of Jushui, but they are not very important in comparison.

What Zhou Chao said was very true, if Li Yan attacked from the side, he would definitely go out of his way.

Sha Moke thought for a while, "Lingxian thought very carefully, how about you take 5000 troops and rush to Lankouju to camp overnight?"

Zhou Chao stepped in and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Zhou Chao will definitely not disgrace Your Majesty's order!"

In this way, Guo Shi and Guo Shi of the Zhou Dynasty led the troops overnight and set off to station at the main road of Jingshan and Lankouju respectively.

After Sha Moke made the arrangements, he also let out a sigh of relief.To be honest, he was careful to guard against this call.

Although he said that the Jingzhou Army was nothing in his eyes, but after following Dong Bi for many years, Shamoke also knew one thing: Sometimes, even the bravery that can pull mountains and rivers, can't compare with the small tricks of those literati advisers.Jingzhou is also a hidden dragon and crouching tiger.

After returning to the big tent, Shamoke was about to send someone to inspect the camp.Suddenly, a small school came to report that Yicheng sent people to fight.

Samoko couldn't help but find it interesting.

The guard of Yicheng is named Xiang Jie (yue), a local, honest and honest gentleman.

This man is good at internal affairs, and he is highly valued by Liu Biao.It's just his temperament, he's a bit cowardly, and if he says something bad, he's just very timid.In the past, when hundreds of thieves attacked Yicheng, they were so frightened that they closed the four gates and dared not leave the city.You know, he has two thousand county soldiers in his hand. Although he can't be regarded as an official army, it is not a problem to fight hundreds of thieves.

It is also because of this incident that Xiang Jie has a nickname, that is Yicheng Guiling.

It means that Xiang Jie is as timid as a tortoise, when encountering danger, he retracts his body into the tortoise shell, not daring to stand out.

This guy, how dare he come to the challenge?
"Order him to come in!"

After a while, a young man in his early twenties, accompanied by a black-faced guard, strode into the military tent.

The young man was handsome and well-groomed.

In the big tent, he bowed his hands to Sha Moke, "Zhuge Liang was ordered to come and write a letter to meet the Wuxi barbarian king."

Zhuge Liang?
Sha Moke thought the name sounded familiar, looked at Zhuge Liang suspiciously, and suddenly asked, "Mr. Zhuge Ziyu, who are you?"

"That's Liang's brother."

Oh, I remembered... The second elder brother once said that Zhuge Jin has a younger brother named Zhuge Liang, who is also a great person.

But no matter how you look at it, he is just a white-faced scholar.On the contrary, the black-faced man behind him looked even more mighty, and he was a character.

"who are you?"

The black-faced man stepped forward and cupped his hands, and said in a low voice, "The villain Zhuge Cang is just a nobody."

It is indeed unknown, and I have never even heard of it.If Dianwei Dongbi was here, he would definitely know Zhuge Cang.

Back then, when the two brothers traveled across the Kanto region, they had ambushed the Yellow Turban warriors on the Taiping Road, and even captured a man, Zhou Cang.

But Zhou Cang is stubborn and unwilling to surrender to Dong Pi.On the contrary, he met Zhuge Gui later, and after some persuasion, he surrendered to Zhuge's family.He changed his name to Zhuge Cang and followed Zhuge's family all the time. Since Taipingdao was wiped out, he has never appeared again.

Sha Moke asked: "Zhuge Liang, your elder brother is now serving under my second elder brother's command. He is already the prefect of Fufeng. Why do you..."

Before Samoke finished speaking, Zhuge Liang interrupted him calmly, "My lord, everyone has their own ambitions. Liang came here today to fight the war."

It seems that he doesn't want to mention his brother.

Sha Moke didn't understand, but he didn't ask.I just thought, after I capture him tomorrow, I will send someone to send him to my second brother.

"Zhuge Liang, what kind of war letter did you come here for?"

"My lord heard that the Wuxi barbarian king was brave and a first-class hero in the world, so he admired him very much. I wanted to offer the city to surrender, but my lord has two generals under his command, named Wu Ju Baolong, both are generals. Unstoppable courage. These two refused to accept the king, and wanted to compete with the king... Your lord said that if the king is willing, as long as he defeats those two, he will definitely offer Yicheng."

When Sha Moke heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

fight?
In this world, apart from my elder brother, second elder brother, and elder brother Huang, I am not afraid of even Lu Bu, so why would I be afraid of Wu Ju and Bao Long?
It is naturally the best to capture Yicheng without fighting or bloodshed!
Shamoke said, "No matter how difficult it is, I will just accept it."

Zhuge Liang hesitated for a moment, "However, our two armies face each other across the Yishui River. How can we compete? If Your Majesty is willing, our army is willing to retreat [-] miles and allow Your Majesty to cross the river and fight. I wonder what His Majesty will think?"

Sha Moke narrowed his eyes, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

Fight across the river?The second brother said that you need to be careful when crossing the river. There is a saying in the art of war that you can cross the river and hit it halfway. If they cheat, wouldn't it be dangerous?

"Aren't I bullying you by crossing the river to fight? Ha, I don't take advantage of you either. It's better for me to retreat thirty miles. Come here."

"This one……"

Zhuge Liang seemed embarrassed and hesitated a little.

But after this hesitation, Shamoke confirmed his judgment, and immediately said: "This matter is decided like this. If you agree or not, you decide. If there is no answer tomorrow, I will forcefully cross the barren water and attack Yicheng. When the time comes, don't blame me for being cruel."

"This matter, you can go back and report it to your lord."

Zhuge Liang seemed very unwilling, and said goodbye to Shamoke.

Before leaving, Sha Moke suddenly said: "Wu Na Zhuge Cang, he was born with a good body, why don't you fight with your king tomorrow?"

Zhuge Cang's face seemed to be submerged in water, he turned his head to look at Shamoke, and said in a deep voice: "Since the king has spoken, how dare Zhuge Cang disobey his orders?"

******
Nothing happened tonight.

The next day, Shamoke raised his troops early in the morning, ready to launch an attack.

From his point of view, Xiang Jie definitely did not dare to agree to his request, and there would definitely be a vicious fight between the two armies.

Seeing that the time of day was approaching, Shamoke was ready to attack.But at this time, a man from the other side of the river suddenly came and said, "Your Majesty, please retreat thirty miles, and let me wait to cross the river and fight with you."

Ya, you really dare to take on the challenge!
Sha Moke couldn't help but feel puzzled, but he had already said what he said last night, so he was naturally unwilling to go back on his word.Immediately ordered the army to retreat thirty miles.The Wuxi barbarian army had already prepared well, and they were about to attack, but they suddenly retreated thirty miles back, so naturally they didn't understand.With this retreat, the original formation became disorganized, and many people didn't even know what was going on.

The Jingzhou army had already started to cross the river, and the Wuxi barbarian army retreated slowly.

When the first wave of Jingzhou troops landed, they suddenly heard a loud shout: "The barbarians have been defeated, Jingzhou son, follow me!"

In an instant, the horn sounded in the air.

The Jingzhou army didn't know what was going on. Anyway, when they saw the Wuxi barbarian army retreating, they were puzzled at first, but after hearing the roar, they immediately believed it.On the contrary, the Wuxi barbarian army didn't know the situation, their own army was indeed retreating, and they were immediately thrown into chaos when they were charged by the Jingzhou army.

When the front army is in chaos, the Chinese army will follow.

If this team was the main force under Dong Bi's command, even a team similar to the begging army would not be defeated so quickly.But the Wuxi barbarians are loose by nature, and when they are going well, they are as fierce as tigers.Once lost, there is no way to fight back.

Sha Moke was stunned in the Chinese army!

What's going on, didn't you say you want to try it out?
He intends to gather troops, but how could the Jingzhou Army give him this chance.Just listen to the sound of war drums 'grumble' and horns 'woo-woo-woo'.Jingzhou's army was like a tiger, attacking the Wuxi barbarian army.The leading general, wearing an iron helmet and armor, held an iron broadsword in his hand, and a black horse under his crotch, and his voice was like thunder, and he shouted sharply: "Don't leave Shamoke... Shamo Ke, take your life!"

It was Zhou Cang.

The uniforms of the Jingzhou Army are mainly red.

It was like a raging flame coming, smashing the Wuxi barbarian army to pieces in an instant.

Zhou Cang wielded a broadsword in his hand, slashing left and right in the midst of the chaotic army, his sword saw blood, like a fierce tiger.The Jingzhou army's swords and guns were raised at the same time, filling the formation, only to see the cold light flickering, and the blood spattering; the wailing, screaming and the long neighing of the war horses echoed over the Yishui River.

At the same time, a group of men and horses also came out from behind the Wuxi barbarian army.

On the big flag, it is written: the name of Wu, the school captain of Biancheng.A general, with a Xuanhua ax in his hand, is heavy and cold.The wheel opened, like a wheel.Only the Wuxi barbarian army was killed, and they fled in embarrassment.Sha Moke shouted sharply in the chaos, but it was useless. The 130-jin mace was stained with blood, mixed with yellow-white and viscous brains.

He no longer remembered how many people he had killed, but the army was already in disarray, so how could he clean it up.

Fifty fighters around him are loyally guarding...but what's the use?As the saying goes, the general situation is over, and it is difficult for the gods to recover.

On the other side of Yishui, Zhuge Liang and Xiang Jie stood side by side.

"Kong Ming, how do you know that Samoko will definitely agree to your request?"

Zhuge Liang replied with a smile: "Liang has carefully studied the characters in Dong Pi's army. Except for Dong Pi, everyone else knows something about it. Shamoke is a man with high martial arts skills, but he is brave and foolish. In Wuling Mountain Everything he does is traced by Dong Pi, that is to say, this person has no great wisdom, and everything he does is nothing more than Xiao Guicao's following. However, the way of changing by chance is far from enough."

"Kong Ming is indeed far-sighted!"

"My lord, I'm too proud... Actually, as soon as Samoke came out of Weishan, I knew he would be defeated. There was a saying in the Spring and Autumn Period: one prospers, then declines, and three exhausts. He was driven by the army, but If he didn’t cross the river right away, he was already at a disadvantage. He agreed to my request for a martial arts competition, but I deliberately delayed the answer until Chen Shi, and his morale continued to decline. By the time our army crossed the river, his army retreated...is there any reason for him to be invincible?”

Xiang Jie nodded and said, "What Kong Ming said is true!"

At this time, the west bank of Yishui was already in chaos.

Wuxi barbarian army was flanked by Zhou Cang, Wu Ju and others, and they were already defeated.

However, the guards surrounding Shamoko were not scattered.I saw Sha Moke urging the horse wheel stick, rushing left and right in the chaos.

Under the command of Sha Moke, the fifty fighters and the one thousand central guards composed of Danyang warriors were able to advance and retreat freely.

General Bao Long of Jingzhou, seeing Sha Moke rampaging among the rebellious army, roared and shot and killed him.

At this time, Sha Moke was already red-eyed, and with a single-handed mace, he opened Baolong's big gun with a clang, and pulled out a bamboo-jointed steel whip with his left hand. Balloon's head.With just one blow, Baolong's brains burst and he fell off his horse.

Xiang Jie, who was crossing the river to watch the battle, couldn't help but praise: "What a great general!"

Zhuge Liang also nodded and said: "The name of the three tigers in the Plum Garden is indeed well-deserved. There are the violent tigers and crazy tigers in the Western Regions, and this Shamoke is carrying a wild tiger. But even if he is a tiger, he will lie down on me today." Here. Your Excellency, prepare for the second round of attack."

Xiang Jie responded and made a gesture.

I saw the flag fluttering and changing, and the drums of war echoed in the sky again.

A group of troops rushed out from the side mountain depression, led by two generals, one was Cai Zhong and the other was Cai He, leading the army to kill the generals.

That Cai Zhong was defeated in Danyangju without a fight, and after returning to Xiangyang, he was scolded by his elder sister, Madam Cai.

Just tell him: "Liu Ba and Zhuge Liang have already made preparations. If you can't make a contribution this time, even the king of heaven and Lao Tzu will not be able to save you."

Therefore, Cai Zhongcai and his brothers took a deep breath and wanted to save face.

Shamoke has been killed in the chaos for a while, but the number of enemies is increasing...

"Third Master, we can't fight anymore, let's withdraw quickly."

A leader of the fighters came forward to persuade him. Although Sha Moke was reluctant, he knew the benefits.He really lost this battle!
"Withdraw, kill with me!"

Sha Moke took the lead, with the right stick and the left whip, unstoppable.

They were confronted by Wu Ju blocking the way, and the two horses clashed for several rounds. Sha Moke smashed Wu Ju's helmet with a whip, and Wu Ju was so frightened that he pulled his horse away.

Relying on Sha Moke's bravery, the fleeing Wuxi barbarian army gradually began to move closer to him, breaking out of the encirclement in one go.However, with an army of 4000, only [-] people were killed.Everyone followed Shamoke and fled in embarrassment, and went straight to Lankouju.

There, there are still people from the Zhou Dynasty, at least they can stabilize the morale of the army.

It was past noon, and Shamoke and the others were exhausted.Immediately reined in the horse, and took a short rest on the spot.

But before everyone could take a breath, they only heard the rumble of war drums.A general immediately stood in front of him, holding a battle ax the size of a wheel in front of him, and shouted sharply: "Sha Moke, barbarian...Xing Daorong is waiting for you here for a long time!"

Shamoko suddenly turned pale with shock...
