The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 594 593 The Burning Yangtze River (33)

The sudden attack caught Zhu Ran and others by surprise. Zhu Ran and his subordinates were shot by arrows one after another. Immediately, the crowd turned on their backs. The neighing of horses and the screams of people were all mixed together, making it very noisy. miscellaneous.

Zhu Ran's body was shot by three arrows, and his horse was hit by more than a dozen arrows. He lay down on the ground, dying, and Zhu Ran was thrown from his back by his horse. He fell over, not only that, but his horse didn't hold down a leg.

A cluster of arrows fell, and the surrounding ambush was fully displayed. Zhang Fei rode a horse and led a group of people to rush over from all directions, and surrounded them all in an instant.

It wasn't until this moment that Zhu Ran knew that he had been tricked by that villain Jin Xuan.

Zhu Ran looked around, and all the subordinates he brought fell into a pool of blood, and those who survived were also seriously injured. This time, they couldn't escape even if they wanted to.

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Fei rushed over on his horse, stopped in front of Zhu Ran, and pointed the Zhangba Snake Spear across the front of Zhu Ran's neck, condescendingly, looking at Zhu Ran with a very contemptuous look, coldly Asked: "Aren't you going to kill me? Now that I'm standing in front of you, you're going to kill me..."

Zhu Ran looked at Zhang Fei with vicious eyes, and said, "Now I'm in your hands. If you want to kill or cut, it's up to you. But don't get complacent too early. If I die, someone will definitely kill me." To avenge me, I have already reported your intention to Xichuan to the lord. Your family members are all in Nanchang. Once the lord finds out about your intentions, heh heh... you ran away, but your family members are going to kill you. It's a disaster!"

Hearing what Zhu Ran said, Zhang Fei frowned immediately. What he was most worried about was his family members. If he really entered Sichuan, his family members would definitely be implicated.However, looking at Zhu Ran's current face, he hated it very much. Without even thinking about it, he directly pushed the Zhangba Snake Lance forward, and the sharp tip pierced Zhu Ran's heart directly, and then revealed The body passed by, and Zhu Ran died immediately, and could not speak any more.

Zhu Ran is dead, and his subordinates are not much better. Zhang Fei has already issued a death order, shoot and kill, don't let anyone go.The poor people who were not shot to death by the arrows were all sent to the underworld by Zhang Fei's subordinates. The two hundred elite cavalry were wiped out with ease.

Zhang Fei ordered someone to cut off Zhu Ran's head. Although he got rid of Zhu Ran who wanted to harm him, Zhang Fei was not happy in his heart. He didn't know if what Zhu Ran said was true or not, which made him very concerned about himself. family.

He has two sons, two daughters, and besides that, he has a wife who runs around with him and will never leave him. If something really happened to them, he would feel worse than death.

Fazheng walked to Zhang Fei's side, saw Zhang Fei's sad face, and asked, "Is the general worried about his family members in Nanchang?"

Zhang Fei nodded, feeling that Fazheng was like a roundworm in his stomach, nothing could be hidden from his eyes.

"They are in a dangerous place, far away from here. Sun Quan is a wolf and Zhang Yan is a tiger. If they want to reach me, they have to pass through this land of tigers and wolves. It is extremely dangerous. If I can't even protect my family, what else will I do?" What face do you enter Sichuan?" Zhang Fei said with a heavy sigh.

After Fazheng heard Zhang Fei's words, his heart was heavy for a while. As a result, Zhang Fei would never enter Sichuan unless he ensured that his family members were safe and sound.However, Zhang Fei couldn't just go to Nanchang swaggeringly, he had to send someone to Nanchang to rescue Zhang Fei's family members.

However, such a task is not an ordinary task, who should be sent to it?
Fazheng thought about it, and the last person appeared in front of him. This person was none other than Xiang Lang.

Xiang Lang is a celebrity in Jingzhou, and he has a high reputation in Jingzhou. Even in Jiangdong, some people know his reputation, and Xiang Lang has always been cautious in doing things. If Xiang Lang went to Nanchang to lobby Sun Quan, maybe the matter would be successful.

As soon as he thought of this, Fazheng's brain immediately started to work, and then it ran at a high speed, and soon came up with a plan, and said to Zhang Fei: "General, I have a plan that allows Sun Quan to take the initiative to kill the general's family members. send over."

"Oh? What plan?" Zhang Fei asked hastily.

Fazheng then revealed his plan. After Zhang Fei heard it, he asked thoughtfully, "What if it doesn't work?"

Fazheng said: "Even if it does not succeed, it will not fail, and the general's family will never be in any danger. On the contrary, Sun Quan will treat the general's family well."

Zhang Fei said: "Okay, then it's up to you, but who is the right one to send?"

"At the moment, only Xiang Lang is the most suitable person. Apart from him, there is no one else. Besides, I want to borrow someone from the general," Fazheng said.

"Who?" Zhang Fei asked.

"Peng Tuo!" Fa Zheng said.

Zhang Fei asked suspiciously: "Peng Tuo? Are you asking him to go to Nanchang with Mr. Xiang?"

"That's right. The general once said that Peng Tuo was originally a subordinate of Sun Quan. Later, because he admired the general's bravery, he became loyal to the general. Moreover, Peng Tuo himself is highly skilled in martial arts, so he is the best person to protect Mr. Xiang. I have lived in Nanchang City before, and I am very familiar with the geographical environment of Nanchang City, and it is also very helpful to Mr. Xiang." Fazheng said.

"Okay, then let Peng Tuo and Mr. Xiang go to Nanchang together, and make sure to bring my family out."

So, Zhang Fei asked his subordinates to clean up the battlefield, and after returning to Yuanling City, he went to discuss the matter with Xiang Lang. Xiang Lang did not refuse, but accepted the mission happily. I dressed up in disguise, took a boat, and headed for Nanchang.

Zhang Fei and others were in Yuanling City, waiting for the good news of their return.

……

Zhang Yan defeated Zhang Fei and killed Guan Yu one after another. All the counties in the four counties in Jingnan surrendered to his despotic power one after another. Jingzhou regained its unity.

In the Junshan water village in Dongting Lake, Zhang Yanqi was victorious. Seeing that the water army was almost trained, he drove large and small warships, with Huang Zhong as the vanguard, leading a [-] water army down the river. Go directly to Xiazhi County.

But Xu Huang stayed in Yueyang and continued to supervise the construction of Yueyang City.

At the same time, Taishici and Wenpin, who have been stationed in Xiazhi County, are actively preparing for the battle, gathering a large number of military supplies, and getting ready for battle at any time.

The news of Zhang Fei's defeat and Guan Yu's death made them feel extremely excited. Every soldier couldn't hold back and was eager to try, because they all had a premonition that the war was not far away.

In today's situation, Zhang Yan's family dominates, especially after occupying Jingzhou for more than a month, the situation is even better. Because Sima Yi's work in Jingzhou was very good in the early stage, after Zhang Yanping took over Jingzhou, he did not meet those people. The resistance of the diehards, on the contrary, warmly welcomed the arrival of the Han army.From top to bottom in Jingzhou, everyone was united as one, which made Zhang Yan give a great affirmation to Sima Yi's contribution.

In Xiazhi County, the morale of the army is stable and morale is high. Everyone is gearing up, waiting for a big battle that is about to break out.Xunyang, which is across the river from Xiazhi County, is defended by Zhang Liao, Gan Ning and others like an iron wall.

On the contrary, Zhou Yu, who was stationed in Chaisang, felt a lot of pressure.

After Zhang Fei was defeated, he disappeared, and the news of Guan Yu's death before leaving the army spread to Chaisang one after another. When Zhou Yu heard the news, his face turned green and red, and he kept talking to himself. He said: "If the lord would have listened to my advice and sent troops from Chaisang, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had only assisted in the battle, the matter would not have come to this point..."

Although Zhou Yu was angry, he still turned towards Jiangdong in his heart. Now the situation is critical, and all the four counties in Jingnan are lost. All the pressure is concentrated on Chaisang. To the north is Zhang Liao, Gan Ning and others stationed in Xunyang. To the west are Taishici, Wenpin and others stationed in Xiazhi County. Once the four counties in Jingnan were lost, Zhou Yu worried that the enemy would attack from Changsha, and Zhao Yun, who had been stationed in Jinling County, is now Jiangdong. At the juncture of life and death, there are enemies on all sides. If the enemy forces collectively launch an attack on Jiangdong, Jiangdong's current strength will definitely not be able to cope with this situation, and the entire army may be wiped out.

When Zhou Yu further learned that the loss of Jingnan was most directly related to the delay in the arrival of reinforcements, he was indignant and wrote a letter, sent it to Nanchang, and handed it to Sun Quan himself. Request heavy punishment for those who delayed the fighter plane.

At the same time, Zhou Yu strengthened his defense force and expanded the scope of patrols, just because he was worried that the enemy would attack suddenly.

Zhou Yu only had [-] sailors in his hands. Although they were few in number, they were all the best of the best, and he personally trained them. Although there were no strong generals, these soldiers were elite soldiers who could fight a hundred battles. Zhou Yu could rely on them. It is also Zhou Yu's family property.But no matter what, this time he will use them to defeat the invading enemy, and he has the confidence to do so.

The letter was sent out quickly, and when it arrived in Nanchang, Sun Quan was interrogating Ling Cao, Pan Zhang, and Tan Xiong, who were kneeling in front of them, in the hall with a solemn face. After hearing Chen Dao's statement, Sun Quan was very angry. After interrogating the three of them, it was finally discovered that all this had something to do with Zhu Ran.

Just when Sun Quan was about to punish Zhu Ran, the news of Guan Yu's death came. Sun Quan was so startled that he collapsed on his seat. Chen Dao was especially surprised, and kept saying to himself, "No Yes, no, Second Master will not die..."

Sun Quan was furious. He didn't expect that Zhu Ran, who had always been very knowledgeable, would cause Zhang Fei to be defeated, Guan Yu to be killed, and all four Jingnan counties to be lost because of his own selfish desires.

Just at this time, someone brought in Zhou Yu's letter and handed it directly to Sun Quan. After Sun Quan finished reading it, he patted the table and said angrily, "Come on, give me an order to go to Guangzhou to arrest Zhu Ran." Back to Nanchang, I will personally interrogate him!"
