Shu Han Confucian General of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 67 The Battle of Guandu

Sun Ce died.

The next day, the Jiangdong Army outside Shouchun City began to retreat one after another, and even hung up white sails. Judging from this posture, Sun Ce should be dead.Zhao Feng and Zhang Liao were afraid that it was Sun Ce's trick, so they immediately dispatched dozens of capable spies to inquire about it, and only then were they sure that Sun Ce died in the army that night after being shot by two arrows and one shot in the battle yesterday.

"Sun Ce was shot by General Zhao before, and with the two arrows of General Zang and I, he must die now!" Zhang Liao also sighed.Zhao Feng beside him just folded his arms and didn't speak, but his eyes were looking in the direction of Jiangdong from afar.

Sun Ce died. If historical trends were followed, he should have died next year. He didn't want to die by his own hands today.It has been eight years since I came to the world of the Three Kingdoms. Although the trend of history has changed a lot because of my arrival, I have always been damned alive, such as Gao Shun and Chen Gong.Now, Sun Ce, who deserves to live, has been made useless by himself, and Zhao Feng also has a special feeling in his heart.It's just that after all this, I and Zhang Liao Zangba should be Jiangdong's deadly enemies!
That's all, Sun Ce, like Lu Bu last time, wanted to take advantage of the chaos and attack, so that he would die with more than justification.Zhao Feng comforted himself so much, he felt a little better.At this time, another military report was sent, but it was Liu Bei who notified Zhao Feng and others of the war between Qingzhou and Yuzhou. "General Zhang and Chen Junshi went to Yangcheng, Beihai, and Donglai. General Gao Lan was captured, and Zhang Jai led his army to retreat to Linzi. General Guan ordered General Wei Yan to capture Anfeng. Jiangdong defender Dong Xi was defeated and fled." Zhang Liao. Briefly talk about the specific military situation.

"Gao Lan?" Zhao Feng was a little surprised at his capture. It seemed that history was going to be changed by him again.With Liu Bei's ability to fool people, Gao Lan is not a diehard person, and his surrender should only be a matter of time.

"Let's not talk about that, General Zhang, right now we need to send people to recover Nantong County and capture the traitor Chen Ying!" Zhao Feng didn't bother to figure out the next trend, so let's take it one step at a time, recovering Nantong County first.Zhang Liao also agreed, and the next day, Zhang Liao and Zhao Feng led [-] soldiers to recover Nantong County, and Guan Ping led the army to recover Shouchun and other counties.The Jiangdong Army withdrew in a hurry, and thousands of soldiers stayed behind in Nantong.The defender of the city was Jiangdong general Song Lian, while Chen Ying was appointed as the county magistrate.

The recovery of Nantong County did not make Zhao Feng and Zhang Liao spend too much effort. Along the way, the Xuyi Huai'an counties surrendered, and finally Nantong County, the administrative office of Nantong County, was left.Song Lian is Sun Ce's confidant, knowing that his strength is not enough, he still defends the city, but his efforts have not paid off: Zhao Feng specially asked Gao Shun to second [-] sergeants from the trapped camp during the siege. Before they could cover their ears, they attacked the top of the city, Zhang Liao and Zhao Feng followed.Song Lian hurriedly came to fight, but was hacked to death by Zhang Liao after a few moves, and the rest surrendered.Chen Ying knew that he could not escape death, and he committed suicide by taking poison when the city was broken.So far, the battle between Liu Bei and Jiangdong has come to an end.Liu Bei not only took back all the territory, but also took advantage of the situation to take down Anfeng, and even killed the little overlord Sun Ce, which can be regarded as a complete victory.

"Brother Gongjin!" Zhou Yu, who was looking at the map in the Poyang Jiangdong Naval Camp, turned around after hearing the news, but looked at Sun Quan, who was kneeling on the ground and weeping bitterly, with an ominous premonition in his heart. Ran asked, "Zhongmou, why are you so panicked?"

"My eldest brother attacked Shouchun and was shot by Zhang Liao's back arrow. He was defeated and killed!" Sun Quan raised his head and said with tears streaming down his face.

"Bofu? Bofu!" Zhou Yu heard the bad news at first, like five thunderbolts, staggered a few steps and spit out a mouthful of blood. Sun Quan and others were shocked, and hurried forward to support him. "Hurry up, arrange carriages and horses, I want to go back to Wu County!" Zhou Yu's tone was weak, but she was still firm.

"Gongjin, but your body?" Sun Quan was a little confused.

"I'm not in good health, and I can't ride a horse, but I can still ride a car." Zhou Yu said in a low voice after recovering.Sun Quan had no choice but to give orders.It's just that when he turned around and left, an inexplicable look flashed in his eyes.That night, Zhou Yu, the captain of the navy, and Sun Quan, Sun Ce's younger brother, both rushed back to Wujun from Poyang.For a while, the atmosphere in the six counties of Jiangdong and even Jiaozhou was a little strange.

"My lord, the last general sent troops this time, fortunately he did not disgrace his life!" In Xuzhou city, Zhao Feng handed over the soldier talisman to Liu Bei, and reported the battle situation of this march. "Bo Tao has worked hard!" Liu Bei was also beaming with joy, at this moment Zhao Feng found a strange general in the hall, and was about to ask Liu Bei to introduce him: "Bo Tao, this is General Gao Langao, a famous general from Hebei! "

"It turned out to be General Gao Langao, one of the four court pillars in Hebei. I have admired him for a long time!" Zhao Feng knew from this posture that he had surrendered to Liu Bei, and he also saluted politely. "Hebei's Siting Zhulang has a false name, General Zhao is a famous general in the world, and Lan has heard of him for a long time!" Gao Lan hurriedly returned the gift.Only then did Liu Bei tell Zhao Feng that Gao Lan was about to be transferred to Nantong to defend Jiangdong.Zhao Feng knew in his heart that he didn't want to make Yuan Shao an enemy.

"Sun Bofu, a young hero, died at the hands of Bo Tao!" Liu Bei sighed deeply when he heard of Sun Ce's death.Sun Gan on the side remonstrated: "My lord, since Sun Ce is newly dead, Jiangdong's heart must be unstable now, why not take advantage of the situation and attack him?"

"Huh?" Liu Bei was also quite moved when he heard the words, but Lu Su on the right at this moment smiled and said: "Don't act too hastily, Mr. Sun, we'd better wait for them to survive!"

"Zijing, what does this mean?" Sun Qian was a little hard to understand Lu Su's words, Zhao Feng thought for a while, but also vaguely grasped a little shadow.

"Su has lived in Xiapi for a long time, and he is well aware of the intrigue of the Jiangdong family. The former Sun Ce pacified Jiangdong by using both kindness and power to destroy Yan Baihu and Wang Lang's generation with thunder. However, the power of the Jiangdong family is deeply rooted, and there must be someone among them. I am dissatisfied with Sun Ce, but due to the situation, I have to temporarily hibernate. Now that Sun Ce is dead, someone with a heart must take action. If we want to seek Jiangdong, it is better to wait for them to make trouble!" Lu Su Slowly said.

"So it is!" Liu Bei was also stunned when he heard the words.Zhao Feng looked at Lu Su, admiring his gaze.At this moment, Liu Bei picked up a military newspaper that had just arrived on the table, and said a little puzzled: "Yesterday, my third brother came to report, claiming that the imperial court ordered him to be the governor of Qingzhou. This matter is really unbelievable!"

"Huh?" Everyone was puzzled for a while when they heard the words. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the governor of the state was either appointed as the state pastor or the governor of the state, but there was never a situation where there was both the state pastor and the governor of the state in a state.At present, the seven counties of Qingzhou, the three south counties are in the hands of Zhang Fei, but the four north counties are in the hands of Yuan Shao, and last year Yuan Shao's third son, Yuan Shang, was declared to be the shepherd of Qingzhou. Is his position meant to split Qingzhou?This thing is really weird.

"My lord, it must be that Cao Cao wants to use this to urge us to continue the fierce battle with Yuan Shao!" Zhao Feng thought about it, but it didn't make sense, and this was probably the worst situation.Liu Bei thought for a while, but there seemed to be no other explanation.

"Since that's the case, my lord, I'd better take a break and wait for Cao Cao!" Lu Su smiled meaningfully.When Liu Bei heard the news, he also understood the mystery of it, so he immediately replied to Zhang Fei stating the advantages and disadvantages of it, and asked him to suspend his army and not easily fight Zhang Jaw.

At this time, Cao Jun was in the camp on the south bank of the Yellow River. "My lord, after Zhang Fei captured the three counties of Qingzhou, he stationed his troops in Beihai to recuperate, and no longer marched!" Cao Hong went into the big tent and reported to Cao Cao.

"Oh? It seems that this man is not a brave and foolish man. Wonderful talent, Zhi'er has found a good husband!" Cao Cao also laughed when he heard the words, and all the generals in the tent also laughed in good faith, only Xia Houyuan Some helpless.Up to now, Cao Jun's senior management already knew about Xia Houyuan's niece marrying Zhang Fei.Cao Cao even joked that Xia Houyuan had the most foresight, knowing that he was about to start a war with Yuan Shao, and prepared to marry him early in the morning.

"This butcher is still a famous general!" Xia Houyuan finally gave his niece and son-in-law a not-too-low evaluation. In fact, Zhang Fei went down to the three counties of Qingzhou so quickly that the famous Hebei general couldn't help but dare to defend. Xia Houyuan did the same Secretly admire.And knowing that her niece lived happily ever after she got married, Xia Houyuan's dislike for Zhang Fei finally subsided a bit.

"My lord, at present our army is at a stalemate with Yuan Shao on both sides of the Yellow River. Yuan Shao keeps increasing his troops. It is not good for our army to stick to it like this. Please make a decision as soon as possible, my lord!" "This statement is true. I don't know what your opinions are?" Cao Cao was also a little moved when he heard the words, and asked a group of counselors.

"My lord, there are three ferries above the Yellow River, Yanjin, Baima, and Guandu. The water in Yanjin and Baima is fast, but this Guandu is slow and shallow. Yuan Shao recently sent Yan Liang to attack Baima, and Wen Chou to attack Yanjin. Only this Guandu It is obvious that they are trying to make a fool of themselves. In Jia’s opinion, we need to rush to Guandu as soon as possible to be safe!” Guo Jia, who was on the side, said slowly.

"Feng Xiao's words are reasonable, but this strategy of attacking east and west is really bad. It doesn't look like what Tian Feng and Jushou came up with. Even Guo Tu and Feng Ji are not so clumsy. I think it's probably Yuan Benchu's own stupid idea. !" Cao Cao nodded, and at the end he didn't forget to tease Yuan Shao, and the generals burst out laughing when they heard that, and the atmosphere relaxed a lot for a while.

"My lord, Mr. Xun Xuchang has an urgent letter." At this moment, a sergeant hurried into the army tent and handed Cao Cao an urgent letter.Cao Cao took it and opened it up to read it. He looked at it blankly and didn't say a word, just handed it to Cheng Yu.

"At the beginning of the month, Sun Ce led his army to invade Huainan and captured Nantong. Zhao Feng, the later general of the bandits, led his army to reinforce him and fought against Ce in Shouchun. Sun Ce was defeated by Zhang Liao's assassination and died. Liu Bei regained the land of Huainan." Cheng Yu Read this letter briefly.

"Coax!" All the generals in the tent suddenly burst into an uproar: Sun Ce is dead?
