After Gan Ning left, Jiang Qin got off his horse and walked to Ling Cao with a complicated expression. At this time, Ling Cao gradually recovered from the severe pain. He glanced at Jiang Qin standing in front of him and slowly sat upright.
He stood up, his face unusually calm, and said: "Since more than 20 years ago, I knew that such a day would come! Come on! I'm waiting!"
Jiang Qin's face became even more ugly, and he loosened and tightened his hand on the handle of the knife from time to time. He snorted coldly: "Are you so loyal to that Sun Wu? Are you willing to sacrifice your own life? You clearly had a chance to escape just now!
Why, why did you risk your life to save Sun Ce? You saved Sun Ce, but Sun Ce left you behind. Do you think what you did was worth it?" Jiang Qin could see clearly just now that if Ling Cao was willing to escape,
He had every chance to break out, but he chose to risk his life to save Sun Ce.
In response to Jiang Qin's question, Ling Cao just smiled dumbly and said: "If it were you, General Jiang, and the general was besieged by the enemy, how would General Jiang choose? Marquis Wu has been kind to me, how can I not
Repay with loyalty? General Jiang! It's useless to say more, come on! Avenge Mr. Liu!" After saying that, Ling Cao closed his eyes, raised his head, and exposed his neck to Jiang Qin.
Ling Cao's attitude made Jiang Qin reluctant to take action. What Ling Cao said before was correct. Back then, everyone was their own master. It was impossible to say who betrayed whom. It was just that he had hated him for so many years. Could it be that it was all in vain?
? Taking a deep breath, Jiang Qin slowly raised his single sword, but without saying a word, he lowered the sword and chopped off Ling Cao's head cleanly. The headless body sprayed out a large amount of blood, shaking.
After a moment, he finally fell to the ground. Jiang Qin silently picked up Ling Cao's head, but turned to the soldiers beside him and said: "This man is buried alive!" After that, Jiang Qin was
Left alone.
After taking inventory of the battlefield, Gan Ning did not waste any more time and led his army back to Xin County. In the city guard house of Xin County, the mess of the previous battle had been wiped away. In the hall, he was briefly bandaged.
Zhang Liao, Lu Xun and Zhou Tai, who had healed their wounds, were all sitting in the hall. In addition to the three of them, there was a thirty-year-old civil servant sitting firmly under Zhou Tai. This person was none other than Qingcheng College back then.
Student Liu Ba!
After Liu Ba graduated from Qingcheng College, he directly went to work in the Western Qin Dynasty. Luo Yang intended to keep Liu Ba in Chang'an to serve, but Liu Ba decided to go to Jingzhou. Later, after the Western Qin regained Jiangdong, Liu Ba asked for help again.
Go to Jiangdong and assist Gan Ning in governing Jiangdong. Of course, Luo Yang understands Liu Ba's psychology very well. Liu Ba's father Liu Xiang died in Jiangdong. Although the Gu family and the Zhu family have been destroyed, Sun Wu still
Now, Liu Ba held his breath and wanted to take revenge on Sun Wu!
If it were anyone else, Luo Yang might still be worried that he would ruin the overall situation for revenge, but Liu Ba is not the kind of person who acts regardless of the consequences. Besides, Gan Ning also needs such an adviser to assist him, so Luo Yang also agreed with Liu Ba.
Ba's request.
But this time, it was Liu Ba who saw Liu Bei occupying Qu'a first and blocking Gan Ning's march to Yangzhou, so he advised Gan Ning to take a detour and march from Yuzhou instead!
Unexpectedly, Liu Ba's suggestion allowed Gan Ning to save the lives of Zhang Liao and Lu Xun.
However, after learning that it was Liu Ba who suggested this plan to Gan Ning, Zhang Liao's face turned a bit ugly, and he said to Liu Ba with a gloomy face: "Master Liu! Although your plan saved my life, you still let Gan Ning lose his life."
The general came here with all the soldiers and horses stationed in Guangling. If Liu Bei captures Guangling, wouldn't it ruin the lord's plan? Your plan is very wrong! Zhang Liao's life is not a big deal, if it ruins the lord's plan.
, this is a big deal!”
In response to Zhang Liao's accusation, Liu Ba smiled and said nothing, but Lu Xun lowered his head and thought about it, then shook his head and said: "General Zhang, Mr. Liu is not wrong. I think Mr. Liu must have already figured it out. Even if Liu Bei knew that Guangling had no soldiers,
We definitely don’t dare to use troops against Guangling! Master Liu, right?”
Liu Ba seemed a little ungrateful for Lu Xun's rescue. It's no wonder that although Sun Wu was the mastermind behind the death of Liu Ba's father, Liu Xiang, it was only possible with the help of the Jiangdong family. The Lu family where Lu Xun belonged to was that year.
One of the Jiangdong aristocratic families who plotted to murder Liu Xiang! But later the Western Qin Dynasty retook Jiangdong. The Lu family, Zhang family and He family all contributed a lot. Now Liu Ba and Liu Ba are considered to be in the same palace, so Liu Ba is naturally not good.
He went to seek revenge against them, but Liu Ba usually didn't have a good look when he saw the Lu, Zhang, and He families. If it hadn't been for Zhang Liao this time, Liu Ba probably wouldn't have led his troops to rescue him, and Lu Xun wouldn't have
It can be regarded as taking advantage of Zhang Liao.
Lu Xun was not impressed by Liu Ba's reaction. Although Liu Ba was just a counselor, he was from Qingcheng College and was the first graduating student of Qingcheng College. He had the same reputation as Fazheng, Zhang Song and others.
The relationship is not shallow. After all, the Lu family has a relatively small foundation in the Western Qin Dynasty. There is no need to offend Liu Ba. Liu Ba ignored Lu Xun and directly handed over to Zhang Liao and said: "General Zhang, don't be upset! I will propose this plan to the governor."
, it has been decided long ago that Liu Bei will not dare to attack Guangling! Taking ten thousand steps back, even if Liu Bei dares to attack Guangling, it may not be a bad thing! "
"Huh?" Seeing the awkward atmosphere between Lu Xun and Liu Ba, Zhang Liao was still a little confused, but as soon as he heard Liu Ba's words, Zhang Liao's attention was immediately attracted. However, Lu Xun seemed to have seen through it.
After understanding Liu Ba's thoughts, Zhang Liao just smiled but did not tell the truth. Zhang Liao asked: "Master Liu, what do you mean by this? Is it a good thing that Liu Bei took Guangling away?"
"Of course it can be considered a good thing!" Liu Ba said with a smile: "General Zhang, just think about it, with the current strength of Western Qin, who among the Guandong princes is the opponent? Even if they unite, they can only be
Just postpone the lord's offensive! The lord has been delaying in launching an attack before. Firstly, he is worried that the Kwantung princes will unite and cause greater damage to the Western Qin army. Secondly, although the lord threatens the emperor to order the princes
, but the princes of Guandong had no objections, and the lord could not find an excuse to send troops! The murder of the emperor this time gave the lord an excuse to use troops against Sun Ce! And Cao Cao and Liu Bei were not fools, and they also pretended to share the blame.
He acts like a national thief, but secretly he is helping Sun Ce to deal with our Western Qin army! No matter what, Cao Cao and Liu Bei are standing on the righteous side now. Even if my lord takes care of Sun Ce, it is not easy to use troops against Cao Cao and Liu Bei."
Liu Ba's words made Zhang Liao couldn't help but nod. When Lu Xun heard Liu Ba's words, strange colors flashed in his eyes. What Liu Ba said was exactly what Lu Xun thought. In Lu Xun's mind, he couldn't help but regard Liu Ba again.
It's improved a few levels. As for Zhou Tai, he didn't understand what Liu Ba said at all. He was just thinking about something, which didn't seem boring.
Liu Ba glanced at Lu Xun and continued to say to Zhang Liao: "So, if Liu Bei dares to launch troops against Guangling at this time, it will be equivalent to leaving an excuse for the lord. Guangling is only a county, and for today's Xi
It’s nothing to Qin Lia, but if we can exchange the land of this county for my lord’s excuse to attack Liu Bei, it will be a great deal!”
After Liu Ba explained this, Zhang Liao finally understood. In fact, Liu Ba's plan could kill two birds with one stone. First, he could bypass Qu'a occupied by Liu Bei and continue to attack Sun Wu. Second, he could use an empty Guangling city as bait.
, to lure Liu Bei to send troops. If Liu Bei dares to send troops, then he can only attack Liu Bei after Western Qin captures Sun Wu! Zhang Liao is a military general. Nothing makes Zhang Liao more excited than going to the battlefield and making contributions, let alone here.
Previously, the vanguard army led by Zhang Liao suffered a major defeat. Zhang Liao needed such a battle to atone for his sins!
"Hahahaha! Wen Yuan! Is this a clever plan by Liu Zichu?" A burst of laughter suddenly came from outside the hall. It was Gan Ning who arrived with Jiang Qin. Just before entering the door, Gan Ning happened to hear Liu Ba
Explain to Zhang Liao. Gan Ning has heard Liu Ba's reasons before. Otherwise, Gan Ning would not agree with Liu Ba and bring out all the soldiers and horses in Guangling. In any case, this Liu Ba
He can be regarded as a subordinate of Gan Ning. His subordinates have such talents. As a superior, Gan Ning is honored!
"Hahahaha! Xingba! You are finally here!" Zhang Liao laughed loudly when he saw Gan Ning coming, and stood up to greet him. Although Gan Ning has been stationed in Jiangdong over the years, Zhang Liao and Gan Ning have met each other many times.
Very few, but they were both good-natured people, and their friendship was very good. Therefore, Zhang Liao was very familiar with Gan Ning. He stepped forward and patted Gan Ning's shoulder hard, and said with a smile: "You kid! Why are you Shan?
Too late?"
"Haha!" Gan Ning chuckled, but he looked at Zhang Liao up and down, narrowed his eyes and smiled: "I mean Wenyuan! After so many years, your skills have deteriorated so much. How did you do that?
Such a bleak look? By the way! Where is Wen Qian? I heard that he came to Yuzhou as your deputy this time! Hahahaha! Wen Qian, that kid, made harsh words the year before last, he must be beaten
If you beat me, I will take a good look at whether his skills have improved this time!" Both Gan Ning and Le Jin joined Luo Yang's account at the same time, but their friendship was deeper.
Hearing Gan Ning mention Le Jin, the smile on Zhang Liao's face immediately disappeared, and he said with a gloomy face: "Wen Qian, Wen Qian, alas! Wen Qian was killed by Tai Shi Ci's gun yesterday.
Got it!"
"What!" Gan Ning's face suddenly turned livid, his eyes widened, and he looked at Zhang Liao in disbelief. After making sure that Zhang Liao was not joking again, Gan Ning immediately stamped his feet and shouted with annoyance and regret on his face.
Said: "Ah! Wen Qian! I'm a step too late! Taishi Ci! Taishi Ci! Damn it! I have to destroy this bastard!" As he said that, Gan Ning punched out angrily, but it hit him just right.
