Chapter 243 Recommendation
Ling Tong took a boat from Baqiu to Zuotang, and then rushed to this place from Zuotang cavalry; he was almost confused along the way.
He didn't know why the whole thing turned out like this.
Originally, the 100,000 troops were launched one after another, with great power, as if Mount Tai was pressing down on the top of Yizhou. Liu Bei, who was entrenched in Jingnan, could kick away with a small stone on the way forward. Since Ling Tong led his father's army, he has always been careless of money and loves soldiers, recruiting heroes, and eager to make achievements. This time, he hurried from Nanjun to Baqiu, and was full of the idea of killing powerful enemies along the way and defeating tigers and wolves for the Marquis of Wu.
Who would have thought that before the army was launched, Zhou Lang died of illness in the army. At this time, the whole army was panicked, and Ling Tong was also at a loss.
General Fenwei Sun Yu was even more cowardly and did not dare to continue to advance the attack strategy. He actually bent down to Liu Bei for peace. However, Ling Tong, as the captain of the commander of the unique army, had to be ordered to go to the public security and recall his own soldiers who had penetrated into the enemy's territory!
Thinking of the situation where Sun Yu urgently summoned him last night, Ling Tong found it ridiculous. Sun Yu's round face was worried and he was talking incoherently. Your Ling Gongji is familiar with the soldiers of Nanjun, so you must restrain them as soon as possible and never let them expand the scale of the war again... After coming here, he found that the scale of the war had expanded to this extent, and he had no need to restrain him.
Didn’t the soldiers of Nanjun who were familiar with him say that they would divide their troops into three groups to cross the river and go directly to the police? Now a small half have turned into tragic corpses, and most of them have become prisoners of the Jingzhou army!
Many of these prisoners were the Supreme General of the Eastern Wu who knew the supreme generals and soldiers. They should have killed the enemy in Jiangdong and made great achievements with swords and guns. But now what Ling Tong saw was only a group of weak people who showed a confused look, as if they had a lifetime of disaster.
The officer of the Jingzhou Army was named Ren Hui, who was still watching with great urgency. Once he wanted to summon the captives, Ren Hui ordered the Jingzhou Army to raise his sword and threaten him. What a straightforward humiliation!
Ling Tong looked at the hundreds of people who were rescued by himself until the end of the battle, most of whom were garrisons around Zhucheng around Yiling, which were under the Gan Ning Tong leadership. These people were all warriors who dared to fight to the death. But where was Gan Ning? What was he doing?
While trying hard to suppress the irritability, a small camp near the water suddenly became noisy in the corner of the rear of the Central Army Base Camp, and teams of Wu soldiers came out from here.
Ling Tong saw Gan Ning in one glance!
Tens of thousands of troops suffered a tragic failure here; and Gan Ning actually hid in the corner of the battlefield with his own personal army? This person... This person is really a thief who cannot be changed!
Ling Tong was furious in his heart. He pushed and shoved several soldiers around him, galloped over, and ran over, hitting Gan Ning before he vigorously stopped the horse: "Gan Xingba!"
Gan Ning walked around Ling Tong without caring and continued to walk several steps before rolling his eyes in anger: "What's the matter?"
As the leading general in Jiangdong, he had decided to lead his troops to attack when Lei Yuan entered the central army base camp, and used the method of directly taking the enemy's head to fight for defeat to victory. As a result, Ling Tong came, Gan Ning planned to be empty... He was disappointed and depressed, and he really couldn't raise his spirits to talk to Ling Tong.
When Gan Ning was under the command of Liu Biao in Jingzhou, he fought in Jiangxia and shot Ling Tong's father to death with an arrow. Ling Cao, who was the thief-defeating captain at the time. Later, when Gan Ning turned to the command of the Marquis of Wu, Ling Tong was always resentful whenever he saw Gan Ning. Gan Ning's subordinates naturally knew this situation well. Seeing that Ling Tong was malicious, they hurriedly gathered beside Gan Ning and protected him with a little wing.
This situation made Ling Tong even more suspicious that Gan Ning had a ghost in his heart. He urged his horse to stop in front of Gan Ning again and asked with a sneer: "You are defeated in the army, but you are afraid of the enemy and avoid the war. Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
Several irritable gangs will shout together: "Don't let your shit!"
Several people quickly argued: "My general is waiting for an opportunity to turn the situation around the war. This is not a fear of the enemy! If you hadn't sent a truce, we would have all entered the enemy's formation!"
If he were on weekdays, Ling Tong would naturally remember that Gan Ning was known for his bravery in combat and was definitely not a person who was afraid to fight. But at this moment, the young man was able to adhere to his identity as an envoy and tried his best to regard it as non-existent. His emotions were really out of control.
He pulled out his sword, pointed at Gan Ning, and sternly said: "You said! I'm asking you!"
Gan Ning looked at the shaking tip of the knife in front of him and touched the hand halberd on his back. These two hand halberds were Gan Ning's usual portable blades, because they were soaked in blood again and again, the blade turned black.
Ling Tong's face changed and he calmed down three points.
Gan Ning laughed a few times and said slowly: "If Zhou Lang is here, I can naturally hold me accountable for the defeat and loss of the army, but if you are a child from Ling Gongji, don't talk nonsense."
The next moment he was confused. It turned out that Ling Tong suddenly threw a silk book in front of him.
"This is Sun Fenwei's handwritten book. You can read it first before talking." Ling Tong said.
Gan Ning glanced suspiciously at Ling Tong, who had a ferocious face, squatted down and picked up the silk book, opened it and looked.
He immediately widened his eyes and looked at Ling Tong.
Ling Tong didn't want to say anything else, just nodded slightly.
The people around him were horrified to find that Gan Ning suddenly shrank. This man, who had always been as majestic as a bear and tiger, suddenly lost his fierce momentum; it was like a terrible demon living in this silk book, swallowing Gan Ning's spirit.
"Zhou Lang is gone, and it is Sun Zhongyi who is leading the army now. In his suicide note, Zhou Lang recommended Lu Su as a successor general to pacify Jingzhou?" Gan Ning asked in a hoarse voice.
Amid the uproar of the soldiers around him, Ling Tong nodded and said, "It's true."
Gan Ning staggered half a step.
"Zhou Lang walked too fast." He murmured to himself.
He also thought: Sun Zhongyi was a literati of the Fuli Tomb Classic and had no practical martial arts, and Lu Su... Gan Ning remembered that when Liu Bei was stranded in Jingkou, Zhou Lang had sent a letter to the Marquis of Wu and asked Lu Fan to come forward, strongly advocating the detention of Liu Bei. At that time, Lu Su was the one who refuted Lu Fan.
This friend of Zhou Lang once proposed the strategy of occupying the Yangtze River with Zhou Lang, but now he was frightened by Cao Cao's military power. Today, Lu Su would rather Wu Hou use troops back and forth between the Jianghuai than bear the pressure to face Cao's army in Jingzhou. Even if Jingzhou is like this, how can he be expected to attack Yizhou?
Gan Ning felt tired. He pressed his knees with both hands, gasped for a while, and then sat down to the ground. He remained silent, and only clenched his fists and hit his chest with a heavy blow, but he still felt uneasy.
Gan Ning never concealed himself, and everyone, including Ling Tong, knew his thoughts and plans. Seeing him like this, Ling Tong suddenly felt a little indescribable.
So he jumped off the horse and stood beside Gan Ning.
His anger and anxiety are still there; but he is actually like Gan Ning, not knowing what to do.
A further distance away from both of them.
Lu Meng let go of his hand and let the separated reeds close together.
The appearance of Ling Tong and the suspension of the war between the two sides made some terrible speculation appear in Lu Meng's mind. He firmly believed that even if the war situation in Nanjun was not good, the military power of the Eastern Wu still had an advantage over Liu Bei's public security regime. With Zhou Lang's character, he would not give up so easily. So, now the two families suddenly stopped their troops, what does this mean?
A subordinate said, "It's a pity that we are far away and can't hear clearly. Otherwise, let's go out to meet Ling Gongji?"
Is it because I think that Marquis Wu is not embarrassed enough when I go out? Lu Meng shook his head repeatedly.
"It must be something big." He said to his subordinates, and removed his armor and weapons: "But, the defeated general is enough to have Gan Xingba alone. Thank you for your hard work, we have to swim to Bailizhou, take the naval warships in our hands first, and then find an opportunity to pick up the troops in our headquarters."
