Ling Cao and Chen Wu escaped from Xiling City with the injured Sun Jian. After running for more than ten miles, Sun Jian became increasingly weak due to his excessive injuries and his inability to withstand the bumps.
"Stop...I'm about to die..." Sun Jian spoke feebly and spat out another mouthful of blood.
"Chen Wu! Stop, the king is dying. Find a place to hide." Ling Cao shouted immediately as he saw Sun Jian in his arms vomiting blood, his eyes unfocused and his face pale.
After Chen Wu heard Ling Cao's cry, he immediately separated fifty cavalrymen and asked them to go against him and divert the pursuers in the opposite direction. He led Ling Cao and the other soldiers toward a forest.
, and asked a dozen people to come to the rear to erase the marks of the horse's hooves and eliminate the threat.
After a while, Ling Cao, Chen Wu and others came to the woods.
Ling Cao turned over and jumped off the horse, and hurriedly laid Sun Jian flat on the ground. He said nervously: "Your Majesty, hold on, I will go find the doctor right now..."
"Cough cough cough..." Sun Jian coughed violently and coughed up a mouthful of blood. He reached out and grabbed Ling Cao's arm and said feebly, "No need, I'm almost dying. I have something to say..."
"Your Majesty..." Chen Wu and the other soldiers gathered around Sun Jian, with tears in their eyes.
"Your Majesty, nothing will happen to you, nothing will happen to you..." Ling Cao held Sun Jian's hand tightly. He knew very well that Sun Jian was seriously injured.
The broken spear passed through the body and could not be easily pulled out. Once pulled out, Sun Jian might leave quickly.
Sun Jian glanced at the older Ling Cao, then at the younger Chen Wu, and the young soldiers surrounding him, and felt very relieved. At least Ling Cao and Chen Wu rushed out to fight for Wu.
Two generals will be retained in the future.
At this time, Sun Jian was getting weaker and weaker, and blood continued to seep out of his body. Not long after he lay on the ground, the ground was already stained with blood.
"Your Majesty, the young master is no longer here. If your Majesty has another trouble, what will the Kingdom of Wu do?" Chen Wu said slowly with a cry in his voice.
"You don't have to worry. Bo Fu is blessed with great fortune and will definitely not die so easily. He may be on his way back to Wu State now. Zhou Tai is brave and Lu Su is alert. They will definitely not let anything happen to Bo Fu...
Ahem, cough... I don't have much time left. There are some things that I must explain to you clearly... After my death, Bo Fu will succeed to the throne of King Wu. Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong will jointly supervise the country. All civil and military officials will protect Bo Fu and prosper us.
Soochow..."
At this point, Sun Jian said "Wow" and took out another mouthful of blood. He endured the huge pain in his body and continued: "Also...this attack on Chu was jointly planned by me and military advisor Zhang Hong. Among them,
There are some confidential things that only he knows. After you go back, please ask Zhang Hong to make the secrets of the Wu State public. Remember not to be an enemy of the Yan State..."
"Your Majesty..." Ling Cao, Chen Wu and others shouted together.
"Ling Cao, you are the oldest among Ce Yu's army. Since Bo Fu is away, you will be in full command for the time being. In addition, let Governor Huang Gai and his three armies retreat slowly and give up the attack on Jiangxia."
"The general has written it down. Your Majesty, please stop talking..."
"If I don't say it, I will never be able to say it out loud. Bo Fu... Bo Fu should not be dead. If he can return to the Kingdom of Wu, let him succeed him. If he is indeed no longer alive, you can let Zhong
I want to succeed to the throne, but whether it is Bo Fu or Zhong Mou, they must follow my orders and tell them never to become enemies of the Yan State, at least... absolutely not within ten years at least... As for
Ten years later, I can no longer predict..."
"Your Majesty, I will remember this, I will keep it in my heart..."
Sun Jian suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed it in the air, and asked: "Where is my knife... get the ancient ingot knife..."
Chen Wu hurriedly presented the ancient ingot sword and said with tears: "The king's precious sword is here..."
Sun Jian grabbed the ancient ingot sword, handed it to Ling Cao, and said slowly: "Take this sword back to Jianye and place it in the main hall of Prince Wu's Mansion. Please remember it, all civil and military ministers.
Form an alliance with the Yan State in the north, jointly deal with the Chu State, and avenge me. Within ten years, we must never become enemies with the Yan State.
, otherwise Wu State will be attacked from both sides... Bo Fu is frivolous and needs someone to persuade him. Pingnan General Zhou Gongjin can take on this important task. When he returns to Jianye, he will give this sword to Zhou Gongjin. Seeing that this sword is like
When he sees me, if necessary, I can ask him to show this sword. Anyone who disobeys the order will be beheaded..."
"promise!"
After Sun Jian finished his last words, he looked up at the sky. In the blue sky, the face he was most familiar with seemed to appear. The man who had shared life and death with him and taught him to occupy Jiangdong seemed to be smiling at him.
A smile appeared on his face, and he thought slowly in his heart: "Brother Ziyu, God will not bless me... Our agreement in the past, I will let my heirs continue, and I hope you can abide by the oath.
, I will never betray my alliance in this life. The Sun family and the Gao family have been repairing it for generations..."
Suddenly, a white cloud floated past in the sky, and the white cloud turned into a person. The figure was so familiar that he stabbed Gao Fei's smiling face, and Gao Fei's smiling face also disappeared at this moment.
When Sun Jian saw this scene, the smile on his face suddenly froze, and he thought secretly in his heart: "Is everything God's will? Is it inevitable that the Wu Kingdom will fight against the Yan Kingdom? Bo Fu, Bo Fu, I hope you can obey.
My father’s legacy is to never be an enemy of the Yan State, otherwise, the Wu State will cease to exist..."
A gust of wind blew away the white clouds in the sky, and the floating clouds that turned into Sun Ce gradually disappeared, replaced by Gao Fei's smiling face hanging in the sky. Sun Jian could not see the future, and his prediction could only be maintained.
Ten years, as for ten years later, he no longer wanted to know.
Gently, Sun Jian closed his eyes and left this world with a faint smile...
When Ling Cao, Chen Wu and others saw that Sun Jian had stopped breathing, they couldn't help but feel sad and started wailing at the same time. The young men beat their chests and stamped their feet, crying heartbrokenly.
After a while, Ling Cao wiped away his tears, stood up from the ground with an ancient ingot knife in his hand, and shouted sharply: "Cry! Why are you crying? Cheer up, before sending the king's body back to Jianye.
, no one is allowed to cry for me! The pursuers will come at any time. If you don’t stay here for a long time, please mount your horse and return to the Kingdom of Wu."
After hearing Ling Cao's words, the young men of Ce Yu's army all wiped away their tears, turned their grief into strength, got on their horses, took Sun Jian's body, and galloped towards the road to Wu.
………………
In Chenliu City, the people have been comforted, and the prisoners of war have also enjoyed the treatment they deserve. Under the careful care of the Yan army, Chenliu has regained its former vitality.
Gao Fei was still injured, but after some treatment by Hua Tuo, he was able to move. With good food and good food, he regained his former energy in just two days and began to deal with some major military and political matters.
.
Within two days, it could be said that the Yan army was overjoyed. First of all, good news came from Hulao Pass. After Ma Chao and Cao Cao suffered Xun Chen and Chen Dao led troops to attack Hulao Pass, they resisted for a day.
, so they voluntarily abandoned Hulao Pass. The Qin army retreated across the board.
After Zhihangu Pass and Hongnong County were occupied by Xu Huang, they changed their route to the south and returned to Guanzhong via Wuguan. Chen Dao led his army in pursuit and fought several times with the Qin army. Both sides suffered casualties. Finally, Chen Dao
After Ma Chao and Cao Cao retreated from Wuguan, they successfully occupied Wuguan.
Next, good news came from Wancheng. Wenpin led 3,000 light cavalry to attack Wancheng from Yangzhai. The Chu army was caught off guard. In addition, there were not many generals in the city, and the troops stationed in the city were originally from Yuan Shu.
Wenpin surrendered, so the Wancheng Order only resisted for half an hour. After losing to Wenpin's offensive, he took the initiative to open the city and surrender. Wenpin then occupied Wancheng and surrendered several other cities near Wancheng.
Once again, the Chu army encountered a joint counterattack by Jia Xu, Zhang Liao, Wei Yan, Chu Yan and others in Yingchuan. In addition, once the news came out that Wu State was attacking Chu State with all its strength, the Chu army retreated without a fight. They originally wanted to return to Wan.
Unexpectedly, the city had been occupied by Wenpin. As a last resort, the Chu army had to continue to retreat southward, retreating to the Jiyang line and forming a confrontation with Wancheng.
Finally, there is good news from Runan. When Chu King Liu Bei heard that the Wu army was attacking Jiangxia, he led his army to retreat from Yingchuan and wanted to enter Jiangxia through Runan. Unexpectedly, he was ambushed by the Yan army led by Huang Zhong on the way. Although he suffered no losses,
However, the Chu army changed its itinerary and had to return to Nanyang
Liu Bei heard that Wancheng and several surrounding counties were occupied by the Yan army, so he pulled his troops to Jiyang, set up heavy defenses in the Jiyang area, and formed a confrontation with the Yan army. Moreover, because Guan Yu was injured, Zhang Fei lost his fighting spirit.
They were forced to withdraw their troops, leaving Du Xi to defend Jiyang, so the three brothers all returned to Xiangyang.
At this point, the Yan army finally completed its strategic goal of occupying the Central Plains.
Good news came one after another, which accelerated the recovery of the injured Gao Fei. He got up early this morning, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw Bian Xi running over in a panic, and the two of them almost bumped into each other.
"What's going on, so panicky?" In Gao Fei's view, Bian Xi has grown into a very stable scout commander, and generally does not show such a panicked expression. If so, it can only mean one problem, that is, something happened.
Something very important.
"My lord, King Sun Jian of Wu failed to attack Jiangxia in a sneak attack. Instead, he was stabbed and seriously injured by Tian Yu. Finally, he died of his injuries on the way to escape." Bian Xi didn't have time to pay homage, so he hurriedly told Gao Fei the news he had just received.
.
"Bang!"
Gao Fei felt his heart was hit by a heavy hammer, his body went limp, and he fell directly to the side, hitting the door with a loud noise, and his mind exploded with a buzzing sound.
Fortunately, Bian Xi was by his side and supported Gao Fei, preventing Gao Fei from falling to the ground.
"The news...is the news reliable?" Gao Fei asked in disbelief.
"It is absolutely reliable. It was reported by my subordinates who were placed among the Chu and Wu armies. They both confirmed this at the same time. Sun Jian is indeed dead."
"God's will... Is all this God's will? Why can't you escape from this strange circle when the tigers from Jiangdong died in Jingzhou? Brother Wentai, where will you leave me now? Are the oaths made in the past broken?
Is this the end?" Gao Fei looked up at the sky, filled with sadness, and said to himself, "Jiangdong changes hands, and the era of the little overlord is coming..."
