Chapter 13
In the autumn of the fifth year of Jian'an, Yuan Shao was furious when he heard that Cao Cao had made Sun Quan a general, and that he had become a foreign agent. So he mobilized more than [-] troops from Ji, Qing, You, and He, and came back to attack Xuchang, hoping to advance at Guandu.

Xiahou Dun issued a letter to Cao Cao, Cao Cao left Xunyu to guard Xuchang, and personally led an army of [-] to Guandu to meet Yuan Shao. The decisive battle of the Battle of Guandu was finally about to break out.

On the Jingzhou side, Huang Zu took advantage of Sun Ce's new death and Sun Quan's succession to the throne, and raised troops to conquer Jiangdong. Taking Deng Long and Chen Jiu as the vanguard, they led a team of boats down the Mian River. Bow hard crossbow.

Deng Long and Chen Xing marched separately after reaching the Yangtze River waterway. Deng Long marched south along the Yangtze River to attack Yuzhang County in the east of the river through Shaxian; while Chen led his troops eastward to attack Wu County.

When Deng Long passed by Shaxian, he did not take Gan Ning with him, but asked him to continue to guard Shaxian while ensuring the safety of logistics and transportation.Gan Ning didn't take it seriously either. He didn't seek military exploits anyway, Zhang Wu had already made arrangements.

Han Dang and Ling Tong marched in the direction of Sha Xian, and met Deng Long's tribe on Xiushui.The Jiangxia water army still has a certain combat effectiveness because it has fought against the Jiangdong water army for years. After meeting the Jiangdong water army, the drums on the warships sounded, the bows and crossbows were fired, and they occupied the upper reaches again. The Jiangdong water army did not dare to advance and retreated. About several miles above the water surface.

Ling Tong, like his father, is very brave in battle and likes to rush forward, so he selected dozens of small boats, and each boat was loaded with fifty elite soldiers, of which 20 were rowing boats and 30 were wearing armor. Holding a weapon in hand, he braved the bow and arrow and flew towards Deng Long's big boat.

Ling Tong personally charged forward, all the way to the side of the warship, and cut off the big cable, so that Deng Long's command ship could not move across the water.Ling Tong grabbed the rope and flew up to the boat, rushed to Deng Long with his death squad, and hacked Deng Long to death.

Later, when Han Dang saw Ling Tong hacking Deng Long to death, he immediately commanded the fleet to charge up, defeated Deng Long's troops who had lost command, killed and captured many Jiang Xia soldiers, and the rest fled.

Han Dang looked at Ling Tong who was covered in blood and was very pleased. Jiangdong had someone to succeed him!

On the other side, the fleet led by Chen Jiu encountered Sun Quan's army. Perhaps Chen Jiu, who had been flattering Huang Zu for so many days, believed that the pacification of Jiangdong was just around the corner, so he actually mustered up the courage to fight with the Jiangdong navy. .

As a result, Lu Meng gave up his life and led his troops to rush in front of Chen Jiu, and chopped Chen Jiu down with a knife in the chest. Pan Zhang was hacked to death when he saw Chen Jiu. The formation of the fleet.

Seeing that the formation of Su Fei's troops had been disrupted, Sun Quan ordered the whole army to attack. Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Lu Meng, Dong Xi and others all led troops into Su Fei's army, hacking back and forth. Fei also escaped under the protection of his personal guards and reported to Huang Zu.

Seeing that the former army was about to be defeated, Huang Zu finally woke up from his dream and did not dare to advance any further. He ordered the rout troops to gather up immediately and return to guard Jiangxia, and at the same time ordered Deng Long to come back to rescue.

The person who sent the order reported that he was meeting the rout of Deng Long's troops who had fled back, and that Deng Long had been beheaded by Ling Tong. Huang Zu was so frightened that he did not gather the rout, and ordered to retreat immediately.

Seeing that Huang Zu was in front, Sun Quan immediately ordered to pursue, don't let Huang Zu escape!

After Han Dang and Ling Tong killed Deng Long, they continued to march towards Shaxian. After walking a certain distance, scouts came to report that the lord Sun Quan had led his troops to kill Chen Jiu and defeated Deng Fei. Retreat to Jiangxia.

Ling Tong wanted to continue to advance towards Sha Xian, and wanted to kill Gan Ning for revenge, but Han Dang immediately realized that there was an excellent opportunity to make meritorious deeds. Because Huang Zu's brain was flooded this time, he took the initiative to attack, so he was a little far away from his old nest. As long as they turned around and moved fast, they might intercept Huang Zu's rear and capture Huang Zu alive.

In Ling Tong's eyes, it didn't matter whether Huang Zu died or not, but Gan Ning had to die, the revenge of killing his father was irreconcilable, and Gan Ning was right in front of him, and he didn't have many soldiers, so it was a good opportunity.

But in Han Dang's eyes, ten Gan Nings are not worth as much as one Huang Zu. Huang Zu was the one who shot and killed Sun Jian. Sun Ce and Sun Quan all hated him. Pu and Huang Gai were old men who followed Sun Jian in the North and South wars when they were attacking Dong Zhuo, and they had a very deep relationship with Sun Jian. Zu Mao was hacked to death by Hua Xiong in order to save Sun Jian from chasing troops.

Han Dang's status in Jiangdong was not comparable to that of Ling Tong, and he was a pioneer, and Han Dang also analyzed the significance of killing Huang Zu for him.As long as Huangzu dies, Jiangxia will be in chaos, and Jiangdong can take the opportunity to take Jiangxia, and then take the opportunity to attack Xiangyang or Jiangling, and then occupy Jingzhou, all according to the natural danger of the Yangtze River.At that time, Jiangdong will be as stable as Mount Tai, and you can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, watch Yuan Shao and Cao Cao fight to the death, and then pick up a bargain, maybe you can even rule the world!

At that time, the two of us will have contributed a lot, and being a Marquis is just a trivial matter!And as long as Jiang Xia is taken down, he can go back and beat Gan Ning, anyway, he can't run away, wouldn't it be the same if he kills him sooner or later?

Ling Tong's position was not as high as Han Dang's, and his prestige was not as high as his. In addition, he was a little moved, so he immediately led his troops to change direction, leaving a troop to escort the supplies, and only led the elite soldiers to rush towards Huang Zu's back. go.

All of this was in Zhang Wu's calculations. When Huang Zu was fooled into taking the initiative to send troops, Zhang Wu knew that Huang Zu would not come back, because Huang Zu had never defeated the Jiangdong army head-on. Sun Jian was chasing Huang Zu. He was shot to death by Huang Zu's men by chance. Sun Ce thought he was invincible and went hunting alone and was assassinated by Xu Gong's followers. Ling Cao was also shot to death by Gan Ning while chasing Huang Zu.

This time is definitely no exception, Huang Zu must be defeated by Sun Quan again.In the past, Huang Zu was passive defensive, fighting on his own territory, close to his old den, and ran away if he couldn't beat him. Jiang Xia ran to Jingzhou if he was unsafe, so Huang Zu was beaten by Jiang Dong for more than ten years and never died.This time he took the initiative and was too far away from his old nest. I was afraid that Sun Quan would not be willing to let him back. Sun Quan wanted to sleep with Huang Zu's head in his hands every night. When Sun Jian died, Sun Quan was only ten years old.

Huang Zu was blocked by Han Dang and Ling Tong when he was about to retreat to Jiangxia. He didn't dare to fight any more, and fled in a hurry. He ordered the soldiers to row the boat to the shore and flee to Jingzhou on horseback. Dare to go back.

Han Dang and Ling Tong didn't bother to pay attention to Huang Zu's rebellious soldiers, they just stared at Huang Zu and chased after him. Seeing that Huang Zu was about to abandon the boat and go ashore, Han Dang brought his own navy to chase after him, and asked Ling Tong to lead his men to snatch the horses and go ashore to intercept and kill them. Huang Zu.

Huang Zu's liver and gallbladder were broken, so he went ashore and escaped on horseback under the protection of his personal guards, but he was old and hadn't exercised for a long time, and he didn't feel anything when he was commanding the army on the boat. Nearly falling off his horse, he slowed down a bit.

As a result, not long after riding, he was stopped by Ling Tong's men, and Huang Zu's personal guard died when he charged, and Huang Zu fell off his horse and was captured.
