Shu Han Confucian General of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 103
"How could this be?" Sun Quan and Sun Yi looked at each other when they saw the Xuzhou army coming out from the opposite side.In fact, it wasn't just them, even Zhao Feng and Gao Lan who were ordered to intercept them were somewhat unexpected.Due to Sun Yi's frantic killings these days in order to stabilize the morale of the army, many grassroots soldiers dare not speak out.Especially those new recruits who have just been recruited regard Sun Yi as a murderous maniac.The day before, a recruit wanted to escape and was used by Sun Yi to rectify the Fa. His brother was a military commander. He happened to be sent to watch the night that night, and it was no coincidence that he was in charge of the section of the city wall that was smashed just this afternoon.This man thought of the hatred of his brother being killed, and felt that there would be no future if he continued to defend himself, so he gritted his teeth and ordered his subordinates to throw sandbags into the moat, forming a gentle slope, and then led the crowd to escape from the city.

When the Xuzhou army found out their movements and came up to surround them, these people were not afraid, they simply surrendered and told the whole story.After Liu Bei heard the news, he didn't dare to be negligent. After discussing hastily with Pang Tong and Lu Su, he quickly sent people to enter the city through this gap.By the time the defenders of the other city walls found out, more than 2000 people had already entered the city. This time, the Jiangdong Army was really in danger.

"My lord, if Sun Quan escapes, he must go south to Jiaozhou, or west to Luling, and he needs to send two groups of troops to intercept him as soon as possible!" Pang Tong remonstrated.Liu Bei also agreed, and immediately asked Zhao Feng and Gao Lan to block the road to the west gate, and Chen Dao and Huang Zhong to block the road to the south gate, and handed over all the cavalry to them, and led the rest of the generals to attack the city.

Zhao Feng and Gao Lan hurried all the way to twenty miles outside the west gate, and then ordered the whole army to be on guard.As a result, after waiting for a short time, a group of people came, and they appeared to stop them.

"Huh, Sun Yi?" The torch was clearly illuminated, and Zhao Feng suddenly discovered that among this group of people, the first person was actually an old acquaintance Sun Yi.With a flash of thought, Zhao Feng looked at another young man who looked similar to him beside him. Although the light from the torch flickered, Zhao Feng could still see that his beard was purple and his eyes were green.

"General Gao, we made a lot of money, that's Sun Quan!" Zhao Feng immediately understood the identity of this young man.Gao Lan was also overjoyed when he heard the words, seeing that the other party had only a thousand people, including the family members of chariots and soldiers, and he had two thousand cavalrymen alone, so he shouted: "Sun Quan will be bound before he dismounts, when will he wait? "

"Second brother, I'm going to hold them back, you go!" Sun Yi gritted his teeth, and then stepped forward to kill Zhao Feng.Sun Quan was horrified, looking around, only Pan Zhang and Ma Zhong were by his side, he gritted his teeth and hurried away.It's a pity that although Sun Yi has a good idea, it is wishful thinking.Seeing that he was rushing towards him like a mad tiger, Zhao Feng didn't confront him head-on right now, and directly handed it over to Hao Zhao and Feng Xi who were behind him to catch him, while he and Gao Lan bypassed him and went straight to Sun Quan.Pan Zhang and Ma Zhong were shocked, and hurried forward to intercept Zhao Feng. At that moment, Zhao Feng was stopped by Pan Zhang.However, the gap between Gao Lan and Ma Zhong was too great. Ma Zhong had already been swept away by Gao Lan after three tricks.Gao Lan didn't have time to take his life, so he quickly passed him and drove his horse directly to the fleeing Sun Quan to chase after him. Although Sun Quan's horse was considered a good horse, his riding skills were not as good as Gao Lan who was in the north. They were all put on horseshoes by Zhao Feng, and they were caught up by Gao Lan not long after.

"Ah!" Sun Quan was unarmed, and Gao Lan grabbed him from his horse and captured him alive.The latter raised Sun Quan's hands above his head and shouted sharply: "Sun Quan has already been captured, and those who surrender will not be killed!" This cry completely shattered the fighting spirit of all the Jiangdong Army present, and the soldiers surrendered one after another. Pan Zhang and Sun Yi soon He was also knocked down and captured alive.Together with Sun Quan's family members, none of them managed to escape.

"General Gao made such a great contribution, congratulations!" Seeing that Gao Lan had captured Sun Quan alive, Zhao Feng felt a little regretful that he could not capture Sun Quan alive, but he was fine if he was finally captured.Gao Lan was also humble when he heard the words, and they escorted Sun Quan and a group of people back to Kuaiji without mentioning it.

By the time the fierce fighting in the city subsided, it would have been already high in the sun when everything had settled.At this time, Liu Bei and others figured out why the defenders suddenly went crazy and self-destructed the Great Wall. The feeling was that Sun Yi was so angry that he was murdered.Zhao Feng was not surprised either, Sun Yi was such a violent person in history, and later ordered his subordinates to kill him, so it is not surprising that he behaved like this now.

As a result of the inventory, it was found that the Xuzhou army fought fiercely overnight, with no more than 8000 casualties.More than [-] defenders died in the battle, and the rest were all captured or surrendered. The smoothness of the battle far surpassed that of the Battle of Wujun.After all, the current combat effectiveness of the Jiangdong Army has dropped significantly compared to that of the Wu County War.From Sun Quan down, all the officials and family members of the Sun Group were arrested, and none slipped through the net.Cheng Pu and other diehards had no choice but to stop resisting after learning that Sun Quan had been captured, and had no choice but to surrender.

"My lord, do you know where Zhou Yu is?" Zhao Feng asked eagerly. In his opinion, the combined value of these people is not worth as much as Zhou Yu.Liu Bei apparently also forgot about this. Hearing Zhao Feng's reminder, he quickly found someone to ask. After many inquiries, he found out that Zhou Yu had been imprisoned by Sun Quan for more than a month.

"Release it quickly!" Liu Bei said hastily.However, when Zhou Yu was brought before Liu Bei and Zhao Feng, almost everyone could not recognize him.Once upon a time, Zhou Yu was so heroic and confident.Although his skin is so fair that he looks a bit girlish, it doesn't hinder his elegance in the slightest. He can't be compared to the man in front of him who is tortured to the point of death, with disheveled hair and skinny body, and exudes a breath of fresh air from his body. Sick man associated with the smell of nausea. "Go and get a famous doctor to treat him!" Liu Bei almost roared and ordered.

Not long after, several doctors were called in one after another. After several consultations, the conclusions were the same: Zhou Yu originally suffered from lung disease. He was imprisoned in a dark and humid death row for more than a month, and tortured. Now he is exhausted. , only a few days at most.Liu Bei and others were shocked when they heard the words, "Sun Zhongmou, you are too cruel!" Liu Bei said bitterly.Although everyone in Xuzhou had no friendship except Lu Su and Zhou Yu, seeing him being tortured so terribly by Sun Quan made him feel sad.Zhao Feng felt even more uncomfortable. He and Pang Tong had devised the divorce plan at the beginning. He only thought that Sun Quan would lock Zhou Yu up, but he didn't expect that he would directly kill Zhou Yu.I wanted to persuade him to join the Xuzhou Group, but now it seems that there is no hope.

In the afternoon, the servant girl who was ordered to look after Zhou Yu came to report that Zhou Yu was awake now and wanted to see Lu Su and Zhao Feng.Liu Bei was a little taken aback when he heard the words, but he quickly agreed.When Lu Su and Zhao Feng came to the room where Zhou Yu was housed, Lu Su went in first and talked for a while, while Zhao Feng waited outside.After about a cup of tea, Lu Su came out with tears still on his face, and at the same time signaled Zhao Feng to go in.

"Gongjin!" Zhao Feng hesitated, but still called Zhou Yu that.The latter was lying on the bed. Although his body no longer smelled bad after taking a bath, the abnormal flushing on his face and the lackluster eyes all showed that his life was coming to an end.

Seeing Zhao Feng, Zhou Yu forced a smile. "What a divorce, Zhao Botao, I'm completely in your hands this time." Zhou Yu said out of breath, and when he was weak, he coughed endlessly after saying these words.

"Gong Jin, don't say that." Zhao Feng said anxiously, but seeing Zhou Yu waved his hand slightly to signal him to shut up, he said with some emotion: "My Zhou Yu's life is already hanging by a thread, why can't your excellency have a few heart-to-heart words with me? "

"Ah!" Zhao Feng also let out a long sigh when he heard the words, and then said sadly: "Gongjin, I never expected things to come to such an extent. Although I intend to harm you, I have no intention to kill you!"

"Hehe, Bo Tao's words may not be false. I think even if Brother Bo Fu is alive, I'm afraid his brother would not expect such cruelty from me, let alone Your Excellency?" Zhou Yu smiled lightly, his eyes It was looking at the roof, as if looking for Sun Ce.

"That's right, it's not you who lost, but Sun Quan!" Zhao Feng also set the tone for this Jiangdong battle.Zhou Yu was not surprised when he heard the words, he took a few breaths before continuing: "Let me ask you, if you had to design me that day, would you still treat my wife so courteously?" After speaking, Zhou Yu looked at Zhao Feng sideways, as if to See something in his eyes.

"I admit that it is despicable to use your wife to plot against you, but this is already the best strategy I can think of." Zhao Feng bowed his head helplessly.Looking up at Zhou Yu, Zhao Feng plucked up his courage and continued, "I, Zhao Feng, can't be regarded as a gentleman, but in public and private matters, it is still impossible to use your wife to coerce you."

"It's serious, how can there be a gentleman on the battlefield?" Zhou Yu seemed to see it very openly, and then sighed: "At the Shouchun City that day, Bo Tao invited me to Xuzhou. To be honest, I was not completely indifferent, but I was deeply moved by Bo Fu. I don't want to stay away from the kindness of knowing you. Besides, Bo Fu is also the Lord of the Kingdom. If we help him with all our strength, we may not be able to win the world. Why do we need to set up another court? Unexpectedly, within three years, the two of us will die It's God's will to lose Botao's hands!" At this point, Zhou Yu coughed violently again, and Zhao Feng hurriedly stepped forward to help him pat his back, letting him catch his breath.

"Gongjin, I don't want to say anything in vain. Do you have any unfulfilled wishes? I will help you fulfill it, even if you kill Sun Quan!" Zhao Feng asked with a chill in his heart when he saw that Zhou Yu's eyes were broken.

"No need! I, Zhou Yu, originally wanted to assist Brother Bo Fu to achieve a hegemony, and I didn't want him to go before me. I thought that even if I couldn't achieve hegemony, I would also protect the foundation we laid down in Jiangdong for him. Who would have thought it would happen? Bo Tao, you know there are people out there. How lucky is Liu Bei, without you, how could he have achieved what he is today?" Zhou Yu said out of breath.

"If there is no Gongjin, why would Sun Bofu sit in Jiangdong?" Zhao Feng just asked back. Zhou Yu glanced at Zhao Feng when he heard this, and suddenly smiled: "It seems that no one has ever appreciated me like Your Excellency?"

"Heroes cherish heroes!" Zhao Feng sighed.Zhou Yu seemed to be relieved when he heard the words, but gasped for breath and stopped talking.Suddenly, Zhou Yu's breath suddenly rose, and Zhao Feng was shocked, but he saw that his weak right hand did not know where the strength came from, and he tightly grasped Zhao Feng's right arm, looked up and said intermittently: "Say, tell me Ma'am, tell her to be careful!" Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly lost her strength and lay back on the bed with a "bang", and then stopped moving.

"Gong Jin!" Lu Su, who had been waiting outside the door, rushed in when he heard the sound, but Zhou Yu could no longer answer him.Zhao Feng looked at the grief-stricken Lu Su and the motionless Zhou Yu, and was silent for a long time, only letting out a long sigh.
