The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 407
After listening to Lu Su's words, Sun Quan immediately took out a roll of blank bamboo slips from the low table, grinded the ink with gritted teeth, picked up a pen and dipped it in the ink, and wrote in hand.

Lu Xun, who was standing beside Sun Quan, was startled when he saw the initial title on the bamboo slip, and immediately leaned down and took Sun Quan's hand.

"My lord, think twice!"

Sun Quan raised his head and stared angrily at Lu Xun.

The beginning of the bamboo slips is "Wei Wang"

Lu Xun already guessed what Sun Quan was going to do, but Sun Quan did not lose his mind at the moment.

According to Gan Ning's attitude, as long as he flattened Jingzhou, Jiangdong would definitely be hard to survive.

If Jiangdong wants to attack the Taiping army suddenly with cold arrows, he must join forces with Cao Wei.

But before Cao Pi wrote to Sun Quan, hoping to form an alliance between the two, Sun Quan did not reply, and if he writes back now, he will have to pay a price.

"Bo Yan, I'm sober."

Although Sun Quan had an angry expression on his face, his words were clear and heavy, without any hesitation or ambiguity.

Lu Xun closed his eyes and sighed, and slowly let go of his hand. Sun Quan wrote a letter and finished it in one go. Then he ordered someone to send it to Yecheng to Wei Wang Cao Pi.

At the same time, all of Chaisang's Jiangdong Army was transferred to Jiangxia County and handed over to Zhou Yu to command, and Lu Xun accompanied the army to bring Sun Quan's secret order.

Cao Pi in Yecheng was very anxious, thinking about the battle situation in Xiangfan. When Cao Ren sent a messenger to present the Fancheng battle report to Cao Pi, Cao Pi almost fell from his seat after reading it.

Cao Pi looked distraught, and the officials of the Kingdom of Wei looked at each other in the lobby, completely unaware of what happened in Fancheng to make Cao Pi lose his composure!
After Yu Jin led the reinforcements to merge with Cao Ren's troops, the number of soldiers and horses exceeded that of Gan Ning's Taiping Army!

Even if you can't win, at least you can't lose!

But when Chen Qun made the details of the battle report public, all the civil and military personnel in Yecheng turned pale, and the king was shocked!

"Yu Jin! You have failed King Wei!"

When Xu Huang, Xia Houyuan, Li Dian and other generals heard that Yu Jin had surrendered to Gan Ning, they immediately cursed.

The king of Wei in their mouth obviously does not refer to Cao Pi, but Cao Cao.

Yu Jin, who followed Cao Cao all the way up and fought in all directions, chose to surrender rather than die in allegiance. This is simply a matter of ungratefulness and betrayal of the Lord.

Moreover, this incident hit the morale of the army even more. The general of the three armies surrendered like this?

The civil servants thought more, so someone suggested that Cao Pi move the capital!
This move of the capital is not the capital of the king of Wei, but the capital of Xuchang.

Once Fancheng falls and Xiangfan changes hands, whether Gan Ning will fight Wancheng is the second priority, and the most important thing is that Xuchang will be in danger of falling.

Liu Xie is a double-edged sword. When Cao Cao uses it, it hurts the enemy. If it falls into the hands of others, it will be a major blow to Cao Wei. Even if the value of Liu Xie in Cao Pi's hands is not as good as before, it cannot fall In Guo Jia's hands.

Therefore, the civil servant suggested moving the capital.

Cao Pi's heart was broken, and his heart was as cold as ice when everyone suggested that he move the capital.

If the imperial capital is moved to Hebei, it means that Cao Wei has already made plans to abandon the Central Plains. This step back is not a vast sea and sky, but an abyss.

Without Cao Wei in the Central Plains, he will perish sooner or later!

Just as the lobby fell into silence, another guard came from outside and delivered a letter from Jiangdong.

Cao Pi's eyes were dark, and when Sun Quan wrote to him at this time, he thought that Sun Quan was uneasy and kind.

Earlier, he wrote to Sun Quan to suggest that the two alliances should jointly attack the Taiping Army, but Sun Quan did not reply.

Now that Fancheng has suffered a major defeat, Sun Quan has sent a letter!
Is it worse?

Opening Sun Quan's letter with a gloomy face, the cloud on Cao Pi's face suddenly dissipated, and he let out a small smile, and then laughed wildly.

Book down!

Sun Quan sent a letter of surrender unexpectedly to Cao Pi!
Take the initiative to submit a petition!

And wrote in the letter: To seek peace and self-effect!
This is to use Gan Ning's head as a sincerity of surrender!
Cao Pi waved his hand and shouted: "Move the capital? No! Everyone, this letter is Sun Quan's surrender form to Gu!"

Everyone was astonished, as if hit by a bolt from the blue.

Sun Quan voluntarily surrendered?
Immediately, there was a buzzing and commotion in the hall, civil and military people discussed this matter, some were suspicious, some were surprised, and some were calm as if they had nothing to do with themselves.

Cao Pi slowly rolled up Sun Quan's letter of surrender. He would not naively think that Sun Quan's request to surrender means that Jiangdong's territories belong to Cao Wei. This is a gesture of alliance and Sun Quan's way of expressing sincerity. When letters come to form an alliance, Cao Pi will inevitably have doubts in his heart.

But the letter of surrender is by no means easy to submit.

With this letter of surrender, Cao Pi has always been superior to Sun Quan in the status of the world's princes, and it also means that Sun Quan has reneged on the covenant with Guo Jia and turned to advance and retreat with Cao Wei.

Sun Quan wanted to stab Gan Ning in the back. This was something Cao Pi had been thinking about day and night, so he immediately ordered: "Xu Huang, I order you to take [-] soldiers to Fancheng all day long. There must be no mistakes."

Among Cao Wei's existing generals, Xu Huang is the most important general, and Cao Pi's sending him to the battle is also an attitude, a way to tell Sun Quan his confidence in sticking to Fancheng, and the two families will attack the Taiping Army together!

Cao Pi was able to mobilize no more than [-] soldiers and horses, allowing Xu Huang to lead [-] troops to rescue Fancheng, which further showed his determination to go all the way.

"Wait a minute."

Sima Yi came out at this time.

Seeing this, Cao Pi asked, "What's the matter with Zhongda?"

Sima Yi's eyes drooped slightly, and he said calmly: "The King of Wei dispatched General Xu to Fancheng, which is a proper move, but the officials thought that instead of our army confronting Gan Ning head-on, it would be better to start a war between Gan Ning and Jiangdong. "

When Cao Pi heard it, he suddenly felt that it made sense, so he asked Sima Yi to continue.

Sima Yi walked up to Xu Huang, bowed, and said in a deep voice, "After the general leads his army to Fancheng, you must not fight head-on with the Taiping army. You can ask the soldiers to write on the cloth that Sun Quan has surrendered and is about to attack the Taiping army. , and shot an arrow into the Taiping army camp, and told Gan Ning about it, to see what he would do."

pop
Cao Pi was overwhelmed, and the old officials Cheng Yu, Xun You and others also looked at Sima Yi with admiration.

If Gan Ning learned that Sun Quan had surrendered to Cao Wei and planned to attack his rear, what would Gan Ning do?Did he turn around and fight Sun Quan to the death?Or should we remain unmoved and wait for the bad news from the rear?

As for Sun Quan, since he has handed in the surrender form, he must have deployed military operations. Even if Gan Ning turns around and finds that Sun Quan did not come to start the war, but he has already made military preparations and signs, then at least Gan Ning will be able to Start to guard against Jiangdong and resolve the crisis in Fancheng.

In any case, the result must be beneficial to Cao Wei.

The most beautiful situation is naturally a life-and-death battle between the Taiping Army and Jiangdong, and Cao Wei goes to reap the benefits.

Xu Huang led [-] soldiers and rushed to Fancheng during the starry night. When he arrived in Fancheng, he first raided the Taiping Army's Tun in the east of Fancheng, Juzhong Tun!
Meng Da was caught off guard and returned in defeat. Xu Huang successfully entered Fancheng and joined Cao Ren.

After receiving the battle report, Gan Ning personally went into battle to supervise the battle.

The sun was scorching hot, Gan Ning appeared on the high wall again, facing Fancheng, Gan Ning couldn't figure out what Xu Huang was trying to do by running into this cage on his own initiative.

It is reasonable to cooperate with Cao Renli, but Xu Huang is doing the opposite.

The city gate was wide open, and Xu Huang led his army out with great momentum, all the archers were around him.

"Xu Gongming, are you also here to die?"

Gan Ning stood on the high wall, condescending and disdainful.

Xu Huang didn't talk nonsense, and immediately waved and ordered the archers to release arrows.

The rain of arrows covered the sky and shot at the Taiping army, but Gan Ning was even more suspicious when he saw the rain of arrows all over the sky.

The trajectory of the arrows released by Xu Huang's archers is a parabola, and the power of the arrows drops sharply after falling from the sky, which is another abnormal move!

Grabbing an arrow casually, Gan Ning saw a piece of white cloth hanging on the arrow, pulled it off and opened his eyes for a closer look, his brows suddenly raised, and then looked up, Xu Huang had led his troops back to Fancheng.

Back in the military tent, Gan Ning stared downcastly at the white silk on the low table, which said that Sun Quan had surrendered to King Wei and was about to attack Jiangling.

Why did Wei Wang Cao Pi order people to warn Gan Ning?
It says that the two armies are fighting each other, but even Cao Pi admires Gan Ning's supernatural power. He doesn't want to see Gan Ning die at the hands of a villain, so he hopes that Gan Ning will withdraw his army to avoid a bloody disaster.

Zhou Tai and Meng Da walked into the commander's tent together, and they also held white silk in their hands. Not only them, but many low-level generals in the Taiping Army have read the content on it.

"Governor, is this true or false?"

Zhou Tai and Meng Da couldn't make up their minds either, they couldn't guess the truth of the matter just by guessing.

Gan Ning was also struggling and hesitating in his heart, but soon his eyes became sharp.

"This must be a trick of the enemy army. Seeing that Fancheng was about to be destroyed, they sowed discord. Son Sun Quan, give him 1 guts, and he wouldn't even dare to step out of Jiangxia County!"

Hearing what Gan Ning said, Zhou Taimengda had no choice but to obey his orders and continue to besiege Fancheng.

Jiangling, midnight.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and there was no wind in the summer night. Pang Tong and Jiang Qin stood at the top of Jiangling city, looking at the boundless river in the distance, their expressions were very calm.

"Military Master, this matter is of great importance. The general wants to hear from you to personally guarantee that this matter is definitely the order of the Master?"

Jiang Qin looked resolute, not allowing any trifling.

Pang Tong nodded solemnly, and said: "General, just do what you want, and don't let your lord's plan be hindered!"

When Jiang Qin heard this, he immediately felt confident.

And on the distant river, merchant ships suddenly appeared dotted with dots. Looking from the shore, there were people in white and brocade robes standing on each merchant ship.

When asked by someone along the way, they claimed to be a business traveler.

When the soldiers on the bank passed the news to Pang Tong at the head of Jiangling City, Pang Tong did not give any instructions.

Overlooking the river in the distance, merchant ships docked, and white-clothed business travelers came ashore one after another.

Pang Tong suddenly turned around, and a sinister smile appeared on his ugly face.

"Crossing the river in white clothes! Sun Zhongmou, you finally made a move!"
