The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 585 584 The Burning Yangtze River (24)

When Chen Dao heard Ling Cao's shout, he turned his head and took a look. Ling Cao also saw Chen Dao's face at the same time. Surprised, he immediately asked, "Is that you?"

Chen Dao raised his hand to signal the team to stop, then he turned his horse's head and came to the rear of a prison car, looked at Ling Cao indifferently, and said, "That's right, it's me!"

"Why am I here? Where are you taking me? Where is General Guan? I want to see General Guan!" Ling Cao yelled at Chen Dao, holding onto the fence of the prison car tightly with both hands.

Chen Daodao: "You didn't arrive at the appointment, and you delayed the military plane, so that the third master was defeated in Wuling and almost lost his life. Not only that, but also made Changsha directly face a serious crisis. The second master is kind-hearted. , did not kill you immediately, but asked me to send you to Nanchang to be handed over to General Sun, which is considered cheap for you, and you dare to shout here?"

When Ling Cao heard Chen Dao talking about the second and third masters, he guessed that they should be Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. He immediately argued: "When I saw General Guan yesterday, didn't I already apologize to General Guan in person, and Guan The general said let the past go, why do you still treat us like this?"

"The three of you hold heavy soldiers. If the second master doesn't get you drunk first, if you lead your subordinates to make trouble, it will inevitably be a bloody storm. I don't know how many people will die on both sides. These are two Master's plan, since you have been captured, you should stay here honestly. After I send you to Nanchang, I will tell General Sun the truth. How will General Sun deal with you then? It's beyond Second Master's control." Chen Dao said.

After hearing these words, Ling Cao knew that Chen Dao had no intention of releasing him, and at the same time felt annoyed for what he had done, so he sat quietly in the prison car without saying a word.

After a while, both Tan Xiong and Pan Zhang woke up from their sleep due to the excessive bumps, and suddenly found themselves lying in the prison car, and they yelled a lot.

This time, no one paid any attention to them. Chen Dao and the others walked forward without saying a word, as if Tan Xiong and Pan Zhang's words had been ignored.

Later, it was Ling Cao who stopped Tan Xiong and Pan Zhang from clamoring, and told the truth.

When Tan Xiong and Pan Zhang learned that they were about to be escorted to Nanchang and handed over to Sun Quan, they immediately fell silent, deeply feeling that they had gone too far in this matter.Although they have a good relationship with Zhu Ran, but this time they just want to make it difficult for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but they don't want such a thing to happen, which makes them terrified. If Sun Quan knows the truth, they don't know what will happen deal with them.

The more they thought about it, the more angry they became, but they couldn't blame anyone. Who made them agree to Zhu Ran in the first place.

Speaking of which, this time, it was Zhu Ran who instigated it behind the scenes. At worst, they would put all the responsibility on Zhu Ran.After all, Zhu Ran was the son of Zhu Zhi, and Zhu Zhi was an important minister of the Sun family. At most, Zhu Ran would be dismissed without risking his life.But if they were changed, this might not be the case.

Thinking of this, Tan Xiong and Pan Zhang looked at each other, and they both knew it in their hearts.

It was Ling Cao, who was far away from their prison car, and the two of them could not communicate.When they stopped to rest in the middle, Tan Xiong and Pan Zhang told Ling Cao what they were thinking.

Unexpectedly, after hearing these words, Ling Cao became furious, and said sharply: "No! You must not do this! Do you think about the consequences? Don't forget that flies don't bite seamlessly. Egg, if we were really invulnerable at that time, no matter what Zhu Ran said, we would never agree. We have already made a mistake, so we should not make another mistake!"

Pan Zhang said: "Brother Ling, if we don't do this, the three of us are likely to be executed! You know my lord's temper, and there is no room for a grain of sand in your eyes, let alone the three of us who committed a crime." Such a low-level mistake caused Jingnan to fall into crisis, how could the lord spare us so easily?"

Tan Xiong also interjected: "That's right, General Zhu's father is an important minister beside the lord. He has served three lords in succession, and he is regarded as a man of humerus by the lord. If you tell the facts clearly, even if the lord punishes him, Zhu will be punished." The general may not be in danger, but we are different, we have no background, if the lord gets angry, he will definitely die!"

"What's wrong with all of you? You weren't greedy for life and afraid of death before. Why are you so scared now? Your head fell off, but it's just a scar the size of a bowl. What are you afraid of?" Ling Cao said.

Pan Zhang sneered and said, "We are not afraid of death! We are trying to find a way out for ourselves, and if we really die, it is really not worth it. If the three of us put everything together Stand up, then General Zhu will definitely get worse in the future. You might as well take this opportunity to teach General Zhu a good lesson and let him have a better memory!"

Tan Xiong echoed: "That's right, Brother Ling, I think Brother Pan is right, you are the eldest brother among us, and our brothers were all selected by the lord, so you are the oldest. But However, Zhu Ran has never put you in the eyes of Brother Ling. I have had enough of his domineering and arrogant appearance. It is not that Brother Ling did not persuade Zhu Ran at the beginning, but he still insisted on going his own way, and Threatening us, we have no choice but to do it, these things are caused by him, and now something happened, but let us take the blame for him, I will not do it!"

Ling Cao frowned. What Pan Zhang and Tan Xiong said was also very reasonable, but the matter has come to this point, and there is no one else to blame.If you want to blame, you can only blame them for not being firm at the beginning. If they really don't want to do it, no matter how much Zhu Ran threatens, it will be useless.

Seeing that Ling Cao's face was a little moved, Pan Zhang continued immediately: "Brother Ling, don't forget what we joined the army at the beginning, didn't we just want to be famous. But are we going to be famous now? No! If now Wouldn't it be too unfair to die?"

Tan Xiong echoed, "Yes, yes, Brother Ling, we..."

"Okay, stop talking, let me think about it again, and I will give you an answer before arriving in Nanchang." Ling Cao interrupted Tan Xiong.

The prison car escorted Ling Cao, Pan Zhang, and Tan Xiong to Nanchang, but along the way, Chen Dao was always concerned about the situation in Changsha.

In fact, the situation in Linxiang City is not optimistic. The [-] unarmed soldiers under Guan Yu's control found themselves surrounded by Guan Yu's army after waking up, and they didn't know what happened.So Ling Cao, Pan Zhang, and Tan Xiong's generals all gathered at the gate of the barracks, asking to see Guan Yu and ask him what happened.

Guan Yu came to the gate of the barracks, confronted their subordinates face to face, and told the reason why he did this. He also said that he had already sent Ling Cao, Tan Xiong, and Pan Zhang to Nanchang in a prison car.This is the power given to him by Sun Quan, and he has the right to do so.

After hearing this, the [-] troops were speechless. After all, they were the ones who missed the appointment, and although there was heavy rain on the way, they were not unable to walk.In fact, they knew better than anyone else that they stayed in Changsha for a few days, and they did it on purpose.

Then, Guan Yu persuaded the [-] troops with emotion and reason, because he had Sun Quan's letter of appointment in his hand, and his power was to command the reinforcements brought by Ling Cao, Pan Zhang, and Tan Xiong from Guangzhou. .

This time, Guan Yu was justified.But he always felt that something was missing.

what is it then?

In the end, Guan Yu realized that it was the trust of the soldiers in him.

These [-] soldiers suddenly changed to a general leading them. Anyone who saw them would feel that there would be some barriers between them, and it was these barriers that brought an insurmountable gap between Guan Yu and these soldiers. A crisis of trust.

Although Guan Yu calmed down the [-] soldiers, how to use them required a good plan.

At about this time, a secret report from the scouts disturbed Guan Yu's heart even more.

A secret report was sent from Luo County, saying that Zhang Yan's army had already occupied the county seat of Luo County, and that a hundred thousand troops came from the Miluo River in mighty boats, and they would enter the Xiangshui River tomorrow and reach the city of Linxiang.

Everything happened so fast, but everything was within Guan Yu's expectations. Zhang Fei was defeated, and he lost the strength to contain the enemy, so the enemy could attack them with all their strength.

Therefore, Guan Yu immediately called all the generals and schools in the army, including his subordinates, to gather in the big tent of the barracks and began to discuss how to deal with the invading enemy.

When Ling Cao, Pan Zhang, and Tan Xiong's subordinates heard that a hundred thousand troops had arrived, they were all surprised, and felt a little timid in their hearts.Almost all of them are suggesting to stick to the city and defend the city against the enemy.

Some even suggested withdrawing from Linxiang, retreating to Guiyang, and then slowly making plans.

Guan Yu heard them talk to each other, making a lot of noise, so he said directly: "Enough! Quiet!"

The big tent was suddenly silent and quiet, but there were worries in countless pairs of eyes.

A [-] army is indeed not a small number, and there are [-] warships.This number is not accurate, but it is not too much, because when the scouts are watching in the river, they can't see the end at a glance.

Everyone sat there quietly, and finally focused all their eyes on Guan Yu.

Guan Yu glanced at everyone present, there were familiar faces and unfamiliar faces, but no matter what, he was the leader of these people now, so he had to pay attention.

After a short period of silence, Guan Yu stood up straight away, and said loudly: "Send the order, gather all the troops, and prepare to go out!"
