The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Article 398 General
As soon as he entered Jiangdong, Dongfang Sheng realized that he still lacked a team of troops: the Navy.

There are many rivers and lakes here, without the support of the corresponding navy, it may be difficult to win a complete victory.

At that time, if Sun Quan used the army as a disaster, Dongfang Sheng might have to encircle and suppress for a long time to completely solve it.

Of course, the most important thing is that Dongfang Sheng's navy is still patrolling Liaodong Bay. The main task is to wipe out the pirates and the remnants of Gongsun Kang, and it will not be able to be dispatched for a while.

However, regarding the navy, Zhuge Liang, who was with the army, suggested that Cai Mao from Jingzhou could be in charge, and the navy in Jingzhou was no worse than Jiangdong.

Dongfang Sheng immediately wrote a letter and asked the soldiers to send them back to Jingzhou with the military talisman. Since the navy trained by Cai Mao is strong, it is necessary to make full use of resources.

Then Dongfang Sheng encountered the first wave of interception in Jiangdong. The person who came was Cheng Pu, a veteran of the Sun family who followed Sun Jian during the Sun Jian period. He has gone through Sun Jian and Sun Ce to the present Sun Quan. It can be said that he is the three generations of the Sun family.

His style is relatively stable, and he fights steadily.

Moreover, the relationship between Cheng Pu and Zhou Yu is not very good. Because he has gone through three generations of the Sun family, he feels quite proud of taking credit for it.

This time he asked to play on the first line of defense to show off his strength and ability.

It was also the first time that Dongfang Sheng saw Cheng Pu who was about the same age as Huang Zhong. When the two armies faced each other, Dongfang Sheng stepped forward to greet him and said, "The old general is so old, he can take care of himself at home."

Cheng Pu shook the iron-backed snake spear in his hand and said with a smile: "Don't look at my age, but the iron-backed snake spear in my hand is not forgiving."

While speaking, Dongfang Sheng had already seen Cheng Pu rushing towards him with the Iron Ridge Snake Spear. Seeing Cheng Pu's appearance, Dongfang Sheng immediately became interested, and went directly to Cheng Pu with the remaining blood.

when!
When the two phases meet, Dongfang Sheng only feels a thick and long-lasting force coming from his remaining blood.

In the first day of junior high school, Dongfang Sheng put away his contempt, and Cheng Pu's strength should not be underestimated.

"Haha, not bad." Cheng Pu said with a smile, "I used to think that you were a guy who only relied on intrigue, but I didn't expect you to be good at kung fu, just to accompany me to relieve boredom!"

Dongfang Sheng immediately responded when he heard Cheng Pu's words: "I've been worrying about not being able to find an opponent recently, and now I just want to have a good fight!"

For a moment, Dongfang Sheng's residual blood and Cheng Pu's iron-backed snake spear intertwined like two thin pythons, sometimes hitting and biting each other, and sometimes parting and glaring.

The surrounding soldiers of the two armies were fascinated by the sight and applauded one after another.

When Dongfang Sheng was fighting Cheng Pu fiercely, he suddenly felt a chill running down his spine for no reason, and he felt a warning sign in his heart.

call out!call out!
Two cold arrows were shot from different directions, Dongfang Sheng had a premonition before, so he quickly knocked the cold arrows away with residual blood.

Cheng Pu shouted loudly, and the Jiangdong soldiers behind him rushed over like a tide.

How dare you!Dongfang Sheng smiled instead of anger, and rushed forward with his cavalry to fight Cheng Pu.

After some rushing, the two sides hurt each other, and it was a tie.

However, Dongfang Sheng was in a bit of trouble, because this Cheng Pu was a battle-tested veteran, and he had the same advantage as Huang Zhong, that is stability.

He won't chase blindly when he wins, and he will retreat in an orderly manner when he loses. The most important thing is that his camp is well-defended, the surrounding trenches are dug meticulously, and there are three wildebeests to defend the cavalry.

Facing such a grumpy guy, Dongfang Sheng felt a little helpless.

Lure the enemy?Cheng Pu couldn't come out, even if Dongfang Sheng led dozens of his own soldiers wandering in front of Cheng Pu's camp, this guy remained unmoved.

Scolding is even more useless.

In the end, Lu Su proposed a method, to stimulate the generals!
Lu Su knew that Cheng Pu and Zhou Yu were not fighting, so he asked Dongfang Sheng to write a letter of war to Cheng Pu according to his wishes. Sure enough, after Cheng Pu read the letter of war, he immediately became angry and said that he would fight Dongfang Sheng to the death.

There is not much in this gauntlet, it is nothing more than bragging about Zhou Yu's brilliance and martial arts, and at the end there is some cryptic statement that Cheng Pu is not as good as Zhou Yu.

It was these words that made Cheng Pu, who was originally as calm as water, suddenly burst into a rage, and rushed out of the camp with his soldiers and horses, wanting to fight Dongfang Sheng to the death.

It's a pity that Dongfang Sheng played Cheng Pu's previous trick and closed the camp.

Cheng Pu yelled and cursed around Dongfang Sheng's camp, but the soldiers guarding the camp ignored him.

Cheng Pu wanted to attack with a bow and arrow, but the long-range crossbow arrows equipped in Dongfang Sheng's camp directly forced Cheng Pu out of the range of the archers.

After tossing back and forth for several hours, Cheng Pu returned without success, but green smoke rose from his camp.

"The Dongfang boy bullied me too much!" Cheng Pu ran to his camp in a hurry.

It's a pity that just as he ran to the gate of his camp, the military flag on it had been replaced with 'Eastern'.

Then Cheng Pu saw Tuobahan and Sima Bao leading troops out of his camp with smiles on their faces, but Dongfang Sheng was not there.

Cheng Pu didn't talk to Tuobahan and the others, and went directly to take the heads of the two. The camp was destroyed and the food and grass were burned.

It's just that Cheng Pu had just rushed halfway, and there was a regular vibration from behind, and at the same time Dongfang Sheng shouted loudly from behind: "Cheng Pu, old thief, leave!"

Cheng Pu looked back after hearing the sound, and saw a crossbow arrow coming towards him with the smell of gunpowder. Cheng Pu had no time to react, and the crossbow arrow hit the door directly.

Ah!
Cheng Pu, who was hit by the crossbow arrow, suddenly screamed, blood streaming down his face.

"Cheng Pu is dead, you should surrender quickly!"

All the soldiers following Dongfang Sheng immediately shouted in unison. After shouting three times in a row, the Jiangdong soldiers saw Cheng Pu's commander-in-chief flag tilted to and fro, and panicked. After the formation loosened, Tuobahan and Sima Bao who took the opportunity to go up directly dismantled them. separate.

The setting sun was like blood, Jiangdong soldiers were completely defeated, and Cheng Pu fled with injuries.

Dongfang Sheng ordered to sweep the battlefield. In this battle, Sun Quan's first wave of interception failed completely.

However, even if Cheng Pu was defeated, enough time was delayed for Sun Quan to mobilize troops and organize the rear line of defense.

For this victory, Dongfang Sheng was not overly excited. Cheng Pu's strength was not weak, and the veteran of the Sun family who had gone through three generations was indeed not ordinary.

Without Lu Su, the tyrant, Dongfang Sheng would not have known that there was a rift between Cheng Pu and Zhou Yu, let alone make use of this to defeat Cheng Pu in such a short period of time.

At that moment, Dongfang Sheng called Lu Su over and called him the Lieutenant of the Zan Military Academy. Although this official was not particularly high-ranking, it signaled that Dongfang Sheng allowed Lu Su to enter his military system.

Lu Su thanked Dongfang Sheng with tears of gratitude, and at the same time became more determined to follow Dongfang Sheng.
