Liu Bei smiled slightly and said, "Since the Grand Governor said these words, Lu Su and Kong Ming have proved them here, don't regret it anymore!"
Lu Su felt that things might be a little strange, but they were unclear for a while, so they didn't respond. Zhou Yu was very confident and said, "Since a real man said this, how could he regret it?"
Kong Ming said: "The Grand Governor's words are very fair. Everyone present heard them. Then Nanjun let the Grand Governor occupy them first. If they can't be taken away, then my lord will come on!"
Zhou Yu and Lu Su said goodbye and left, riding on horseback.
Liu Bei turned to Kong Ming and said, "My conversation just now was based on the military advisor, but after I said it, I was thinking about it. I still couldn't understand the truth. Now we are alone and there is no place to settle down.
, ready to take down Nanjun as a place to settle down. If Zhou Yu from Jiangdong first takes it, the city belongs to Dongwu, what should we do?"
Kong Ming laughed and said, "I advised my lord to take Jingzhou as a place to establish a foothold. The lord did not follow my advice. Why do you want to take it again?"
Liu Bei was a little embarrassed and said, "Before, it was because it was Liu Biao's territory. I really couldn't bear to fight with each other. Now this place belongs to Cao Cao, so no matter how you say it, you should take it down."
Kong Ming was very confident and said, "Don't worry about this matter anymore. Let Zhou Yu take it. Sooner or later, this Nanjun will enter the lord's arms?"
Liu Bei still couldn't figure it out and asked, "What's the plan?"
Kong Ming said something softly. Liu Bei was very happy after hearing this, so he stationed on the riverside and stopped moving.
After Zhou Yu and Lu Su returned, Lu Su asked: "How did the Grand Governor promise to Liu Bei to take Nanjun?"
He replied: "I took this place in Nanjun in a flash, and there is no need to lose a favor."
Then he asked the soldiers around him, "Who would like to attack Nanjun first?" As soon as he finished speaking, a man came out, Jiang Qin, a soldier from Jiangdong.
Zhou Yu said: "You are the most pioneer. Xu Sheng and Ding Feng are both your deputy generals. I will assign you five thousand elite troops to cross the river first, and then I will bring troops to pick you up."
Cao Ren was in Nanjun and asked Cao Hong to guard Yiling. The two sides were swaying to each other. Suddenly, soldiers came to report, saying: "The soldiers and horses in Jiangdong have already crossed the Yangtze River."
Cao Ren said: "Just stick to it, don't go out to fight."
Niu Jin stood up at this time, eager to try, and said, "There are soldiers coming to the city, we are not going to fight yet. That is a sign of timidity, and we have only failed here. We should regain our spirit. I hope I can give me five hundred soldiers and let me
I'll fight to the death."
Cao Ren agreed, so Niu Jin attacked with five hundred soldiers, Ding Feng came to fight, and the two fought one-on-one, and fought for four rounds. Ding Feng pretended not to be able to beat him, so he took Niu Jin to the formation.
After the direction, Ding Feng led everyone to surround Niu Jin in the formation. Niu Jin clashed left and right, and could not rush out, and was very anxious for a moment.
Cao Ren saw Niu Jin's situation on the city wall. There was no way, so he could only wear armor and get on the horse, take hundreds of cavalry out of the city, swing his sword hard, and break into the opponent's formation. Xu Sheng came out to fight, but he had no way to resist.
Cao Ren directly killed the middle of the formation and rescued Niu Jin. When he looked back, he found that there were only a dozen cavalrymen in the formation and could not go out, so he turned around and killed them to rescue the encirclement.
This happened to meet the opponent's chief general Jiang Qin and blocked the way. Cao Ren and Niu Jin fought hard to break him up. Cao Ren's younger brother Cao Chun came to pick him up with his troops and killed him for a while. Jiangdong was finally defeated.
Cao Ren returned after victory.
After Jiang Qin failed, he went back to see Zhou Yu as soon as possible. Zhou Yu was very angry and prepared to behead him. Everyone was spared by pleading for mercy.
Zhou Yu immediately ordered his troops and wanted to go to a decisive battle with Cao Ren himself. Gan Ning said: "Governor-General, don't panic. Cao Ren sent Cao Hong to guard Yiling, and the two sides formed a horn. I hope I can bring three thousand elite soldiers and go first.
Attack Yiling, the Grand Governor can attack Nanjun at this time, and then he can accomplish great things!"
Zhou Yu thought this was feasible, so he asked Gan Ning to attack Yiling with three thousand troops.
The news was quickly passed to Cao Ren. Cao Ren and Chen Jiao discussed it. Chen Jiao said: "If Yiling is taken down, then Nanjun will not be able to defend it. You should go to rescue quickly."
So Cao Ren photographed Cao Chun and Niu Jin secretly took their troops to rescue Cao Hong. Cao Chun first asked someone to tell Cao Hong about this and asked Cao Hong to go out of the city to lure the enemy. Gan Ning brought his troops to Yiling, and Cao Hong came out to challenge Gan Ning for a one-on-one challenge.
After more than twenty rounds, Cao Hong could not beat him and had to escape. Gan Ning successfully seized Yiling.
At dusk, Cao Chun and Niu Jin's troops arrived and combined to surround Yiling.
Gan Ning sent soldiers to break through and report the situation to Zhou Yu, saying that Gan Ning was trapped in Yiling City. Zhou Yu was very surprised.
Cheng Pu said: "You can quickly divide the troops to rescue!"
Zhou Yu said: "This is very critical. If the troops are divided to save them, what should I do if Cao Ren brings his troops to attack him?"
Lu Meng said: "Ganning is a general in Jiangdong. Its importance is self-evident. How could it be that it is not saved?"
Zhou Yu said: "I am going to take my troops to rescue myself, but it is more appropriate to keep who is here for me to keep it."
Lu Meng said: "Ling Tong can take on this task. I am the front-runner and the governor will be cut off from the rear for no more than ten days. I will definitely return triumphantly."
Zhou Yu said to Ling Tong: "Don't you know where you are willing to take my place?"
Ling Tong said: "It is OK to use ten days as the deadline, but outside of ten days, I may be powerless!"
Zhou Yu thought about it and felt that it was enough, so he left 50,000 troops and handed them over to Ling Tong, and then took the troops to kill him in the direction of Yiling.
Lu Meng said to Zhou Yu: "There is a small road south of Yiling, and it is very easy to go to Nanjun. You can send 500 soldiers to cut down trees and cut off the back road. If they fail, they will definitely take this road. Horses cannot walk.
We will definitely throw the horse away, and we can also take the opportunity to take it down." Zhou Yu agreed, and the plan began to be implemented.
Soon Zhou Yu brought his troops to Yiling. Zhou Yu observed the situation and asked: "Who can break through and save the general Gan Ning."
Zhou Tai responded and immediately rode his horse into Cao's army. He reached the bottom of the city. When Gan Ning saw Zhou Tai coming, he hurried out to greet him.
After Zhou Tai entered the city, he met Gan Ning and said, "The Grand Governor is here with his troops!"
