Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 586 Battle of Qingyang (1)

After Lu Xun heard about it, he sighed. Gan Ning had completely offended the gentry. Even if the Cui family was wrong in every possible way, they would not be able to slaughter the clan.The gentry in the world will not only hate Gan Ning, but also blame Zhou Cang for this.Fortunately, Xuzhou Biejia Cui Jun is from Anping, Jizhou, and belongs to the Boling Cui family. Although he has the same surname as the Qinghe Cui family, Lu Xun really doesn't know how to explain to Cui Jun.

There is only a remedy for this.On the one hand, Lu Xun sent people to report to Zhoucang, and on the other hand, he sent people to search for Cui's various misdeeds and published them to the public. Cui Yan's anthology was confiscated from the government, and there were many satirical and disrespectful words in it, all of which were disseminated by Lu Xun.Lu Xun also seized Cui's family property and obtained tens of thousands of mu of fertile land, all of which were burned and distributed to the common people.

Following the death of Li Ding, a key member of the Li family and Yuyang prefect Li Ding, the Qinghe Cui family was destroyed.

The five noble families in Hebei: the Cui family of Boling; the Cui family of Qinghe; the Lu family of Fanyang, that is, the Lu Zhi group;

The five aristocratic families, rich in money, rich in land, rich in officials, rich in Confucianism, and rich in children, controlled most of Hebei's politics, economy, and culture in their heyday.Even Cao Cao only dared to attack the big families who were in trouble for him, and could only gradually weaken the wealthy families. There are many talented and upright people among the wealthy families, but the interests of the family are destined to be above all else, and they can always turn the rudder in time. Get on a big ship.

Qinghe County is the seat of Qingyang County, where General Jia Xin has garrisoned about 2 troops.Cheng Yu and Yangwu General Wang Zhong arrived, with a force of [-].

Jia Xin is quite trusted by Cao Pi, and he has some opinions on Cheng Yu and Wang Zhong. Cheng Yu is a tough man and has many disagreements with others. He once competed with Lieutenant Xing Zhen in Yedu, which caused the dissatisfaction of Cao Pi's gang of young men. What made Jia Xin unbearable the most was that he heard that Cheng Yu used human flesh as preserved animal meat to supply soldiers in Puyang.As for Wang Zhong, it was even more outrageous. Wang Zhong was a naked cannibal, and he was not even ashamed. Cao Pi once tied a skeleton to Wang Zhong's saddle to make everyone laugh, and Wang Zhong was even more proud and flattered.

Although Cheng Yu is old and frail, he is not yet demented.He believes that Lu Xun's Southern Expedition seems fierce and mighty, but it has three fatal flaws: First, Lu Xun wants to form a pincer offensive with Xu Shu. As long as one end is broken or contained, the other end will also collapse; Worrying about the future, Yu Jin, who sits in Qingzhou, may send troops from the plains to attack Nanpi at any time and cut off his food road; third, Lu Xun has no absolute advantage in military strength.Therefore, Cheng Yu advocated sticking to it, and waited for Lu Xun's army's spirit to fade away before looking for opportunities to move.

Cheng Yu's proposition was strongly opposed by Jia Xin and Wang Zhong, and the two who were originally at odds finally reached an agreement.

Although Cui's lair was destroyed, there are still many children outside. Cui Shu, the son of Cui Lin, was in Qingyang. When these Cui's children heard that their clansmen had been killed, their eyes burst into tears and they surrounded Jia Xin, weeping bitterly, begging Jia Xin to help him Cui's revenge.Wucheng was occupied, the Cui family was exterminated, and Jia Xin was more or less responsible. With Cui Yan and Cui Lin in the Duke Wei's mansion, not only the Cui family's children but also the local big family were in front of him. In order to get rid of responsibility and future prospects, Jia Xin also had to show positive attitude.

Wang Zhong thought he was strong and strong, so why should he be afraid of Lu Xun?Gan Ning dominates on the water, but on the road it is like sailing on dry land, nothing to worry about.Don't count on Yu Jin, he can't take care of himself, and Yu Jin is not a good partner who is willing to save people.

Wang Zhong negotiated with Jia Xin, one of them went out to fight and one of them defended the city.Times have changed, and Cheng Yu, who was once Cao Cao's confidant and counselor, even Xia Houdun, Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren, and Cao Xiu would treat him a little bit less, and he has never been reduced to such a situation of being ignored.Old Cheng Yu sighed, he was already in his sixties, why should he argue with others?Leaning on crutches, he returned home to recuperate.

Relying on his bravery, Wang Zhong led 1 horses out of the city with a machete in his hand, calling for Gan Ning to come out and die.Ding Feng jumped up and slapped his knife: "Do you recognize me, Ding Feng?"

Wang Zhong spat, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.The two fought for about [-] rounds, Ding Feng pretended not to have enough strength, swayed his horse and left, and Wang Zhong came after him.

"Gan Ning is here!" Gan Ning held two halberds and asked Ding Feng to stop Wang Zhong.

Wang Zhong looked at Gan Ning: "Are you the Jinfan thief? I heard that you are very famous, but it's a pity that this is not on the water, so I can't show my ability."

Gan Ning was furious: "Don't be too wordy, eat me with a halberd!" Gan Ning used [-]% of his strength.

"Oh, your strength is not small, it's still far behind me." Wang Zhong raised his knife to block it with both hands, and took advantage of the momentum to slash his head.

The swords came and went, the two stood together for about thirty rounds, Gan Ning yelled "Fighting!" and lost the battle.

Wang Zhong laughed loudly, and swung his sword: "Chase!"

Gan Ning and Ding Feng retreated for more than ten miles, Wang Zhong rolled his eyes and reined in his mount: "Mingjin retreat!"

"General Wang showed great power and defeated the enemy in a row. Congratulations." Jia Xin couldn't help but say a few compliments. "It's just that the general stopped chasing him suddenly. Could it be that he was afraid that he might be cheating?"

"Hey, even if there is an ambush, why should I be afraid!" Wang Zhong pouted. "I pursued all the way, and I was afraid that Lu Xun would flee back to Nanpi. Today's victory is great, the enemy is terrified, so they must not take precautions. I will go to rob the camp again tonight, and I can wipe out Lu Xun here!"

"Brilliant plan! I'll send Captain Jia Zhi to go with you." Jia Xin didn't want his military achievements to be monopolized by Wang Zhong, but also wanted a piece of the pie.

After the third watch, Wang Zhong and Jia Zhi each led [-] elite soldiers to sneak out of Qingyang and head straight for Lu Xun's camp.The camp was quiet, and the soldiers guarding the camp gate could be vaguely seen dozing against the camp gate.

"I'll go in first, and the general will respond later." Jia Zhi was eager to make a contribution, and rushed to the camp first.Wang Zhong was happy to get Jia Zhi to find the way for him, and he didn't want to compete with him.

Jia Zhi was brave, he hacked and slashed several times, scattered the guards and rushed into the camp, suddenly felt that something was wrong, why is there still no movement in the camp at this time?This is an empty camp!Firewood piled up everywhere!He yelled, "Back!"

Cao Jun has poured into the camp, how can he be able to gather it so quickly.With the sound of gongs, the camp was on fire, and the camp quickly turned into a sea of ​​flames. There were shouts of killing from all directions. Cao Jun was in a panic and trampled on each other. Arrows were fired, and Jia Zhi was shot off his horse and buried in the sea of ​​flames.

Lu Xun had expected that Cao's army would come back to rob the camp that night, so he set up tents in vain. There were fire igniters all over the camp, and a small number of soldiers were left to guard. He led Cao's army into the camp and set fire to it.

Wang Zhong saw the fire in the camp and knew that Jia Zhi had been tricked.He took a sip of "bad luck!" and did not go to rescue him, and immediately turned his horse's head back to the city.

Before he had walked a mile, he saw a group of people blocking the way, and a general in front of him was holding a pair of halberds. "Do you still recognize me Gan Ning and Gan Xingba?"
