The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 134 The Butterfly Effect vs Gan Ning

Cai Mao and Zhang Yun led the troops along the Huarong Trail. At first, the road was quite wide, suitable for marching, and it didn't look like a trail at all.

The further he marched, Cai Mao found that the road became more muddy, and there was no human habitation within a hundred miles. The road became narrower and narrower, with reeds floating on both sides. "

Cai Mao, who was marching on narrow and difficult roads, was very helpless. The speed of the march was like a tortoise crawling.

Suddenly there was a burst of killing behind him, and the leader was holding steel whips in both hands. It was Sun Ce's general Huang Gai, and Zhou Yu's pursuers were about to stick to him without even thinking about it.

Now the morale of Cai Mao's defeated army is low, everyone hangs their heads, and some even lose their weapons, just to escape faster than their colleagues when they fled.

Why would such an army resist Zhou Yu?
It's still the word run, run with your legs, as long as you run past your colleagues, you can escape to heaven, and Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and some personal guards still have horses.

Cai Hao and Zhang Yun were scared out of their wits and urged the horse to gallop forward, while the guards followed closely!

Those with two legs can never run as fast as those with four legs. Cai Mao and Zhang Yuncai don't care about the life or death of those soldiers. As long as they can escape and ascend to heaven, they can still eat and drink hot food when they return to Nanjun. They are still the core political figures in Jingzhou!

Zhang Yun is Liu Biao's nephew, and Jingzhou is also short of horses, but the best horses he can give Zhang Yun, even a big horse like Cai Mao is not enough.

Zhang Yun, who was running at the front suddenly, felt that the horses under his crotch were empty, and Zhang Yun's horse let out a pitiful scream, and fell forward, and the galloping horse directly threw Zhang Yun out.

This only happened in an instant, Zhang Yun was still in a daze while flying in the air, and then fell heavily on the ground, Zhang Yun only felt pain all over his body!

Zhang Yun was not the only one who was unlucky, several of the personal guards who followed closely behind Zhang Yun were also thrown away by the war horse.

Because of Zhang Yun's demonstration, Cai Mao saw a long rope behind him.

'Trip the rope'!Since there is this thing, it means that there must be an ambush here!
Sure enough, dozens of soldiers from Sun Ce's army were killed in the reeds on both sides. Cai Mao jumped off the rope with a long spear without thinking about it.

A dead fellow Taoist is not a poor Taoist, old man Zhang Yun will give you a grand burial!

So he rode his horse and rushed over, and Zhang Yun, who fell to the ground, was still in a mess, and he didn't even know where he was, but felt that he was being captured one after another in the dark.

As for the thousands of defeated troops behind them, they were also suddenly ambushed and surrendered in chaos!

As for Wenpin and Wang Wei who were walking on the main road, they made a big circle all the way. Although the journey was long, the journey was safe and sound, no ambushes, no tripping ropes, nothing.

A few days later, when Wenpin and Wang Wei fled back to Dongting Lake with more than 4000 defeated troops, they found that the Jingzhou navy had already left!

What Wenpin and Wang Wei didn't know was that Cai Mao arrived at Dongting Lake a few days earlier with his own soldiers, and fled back to Jiangling directly with his navy.

Wen Pin's face was gloomy, while Wang Wei yelled at Cai Mao for not being a thing!He even left them and ran away by himself!
The two without the support of the navy could only find some fishing boats and merchant ships to cross the river and transport them to the other side for a few days.

What they don't know is that Wenpin and Wang Wei's every move is completed under the surveillance of Zhou Yu's scouts, and Cai Mao was deliberately let go by Zhou Yu.

Wenpin and Wang Wei were also released by Zhou Yu on purpose, and even Zhang Yun, who was captured later, Zhou Yu would use him to reap some benefits before releasing him!
Zhou Yu naturally knew Cai Mao's status in Jingzhou, and only by making Jingzhou itself chaotic, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce could take advantage of the opportunity to plot the entire Jingzhou.

Zhou Yu found out early on that Wenpin was Liu Biao's number one general, and Wang Wei was Liu Biao's confidant. As for Cai Mao and Liu Biao's marriage, Liu Biao had always been wary of Cai and Kuai.

Just a big defeat could not hurt Liu Biao. Only causing chaos within Jingzhou was Zhou Yu's goal.

In the first battle of Wuling, Liu Biao lost [-] troops. This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Liu Biao was unable to send troops to take back the important land of Wuling County.

As I said before, Wuling is separated by a river from Jiangling, an important town in South County. Now Liu Biao, an old man, can't sleep in peace!

After talking about Zhou Yu's performance on the western front, let's focus on the eastern front!

On the east front, Liu Pan and Huang Zu joined forces in Shaxian County (now Jiangxia District, Wuhan City) and marched southward by land, attacking Xiajun City (now west of Tongcheng County), the northernmost bridgehead in Changsha.

Who is the little overlord Sun Ce? He has always acted domineeringly, has never fought a defensive battle, and is always going forward. Sun Ce asked Lu Su and Huan Jie to guard Juncheng. Zhu Zhi, Xu Kun, Lu Fan, Sun Ben, Sun Hao and others will lead [-] troops to face hard steel.

If Lu Heng knew about Sun Ce's decision, he would definitely say that he is a real man!
The two armies encountered two opposing forces about [-] miles north of Xiajun City. The combined forces of Liu Pan and Huang Zu had about [-] troops, while Sun Ce's army had only [-].

However, Sun Ce was right about Liu Pan and Huang Zu. When he saw Huang Zu's big banner with yellow characters, his whole body exuded murderous aura!
Because the enemy was extremely jealous when they met, Sun Ce sent him to the door before he got rid of Huang Zu, how could Sun Ce not like it?

Sun Ce wanted to fight in person, killing several generals to lower the enemy's morale, but after Zhou Yu's persuasion, he raised his hand and made a move. General Chen Wu rushed out of the battle with an iron gun in his hand and shouted: "Lujiang, Chen Zilie, who dares to fight here!"

As Liu Biao's follower, Liu Pan is brave but will not fight in person, while Huang Zu has been stationed in Jiangxia for a long time, so he thinks this is a good opportunity to make meritorious service.

As for Sun Ce, to be honest, Huang Zu didn't care at all, he was just the son of a defeated general, and he couldn't even beat that scholar Lu Heng, so what are you afraid of!
Of course, Huang Zu, who was eager to do meritorious service, would not do anything himself, so he also waved his hands. A general behind him rushed straight to Chen Wu, riding his horse and shouting: "The one who kills you, Jiang Xia and Deng Long!"

Deng Long also used a long spear, but it was much thinner than Chen Wu's iron spear!

The two confronted each other with long spears, stabbing straight at the opponent's front door. Finally, Deng Long couldn't bear it and dodged Chen Wu's guns.

But this Deng Long yelled fiercely, and his skills were really bad. After only ten rounds, he was picked off by Chen Wu and died on the spot.

Chen Wu beheaded the general, which aroused the morale of Sun Ce's army for a while, and shouted: "General Chen is mighty! General Chen is mighty!"

On the contrary, Liu Pan and Huang Zu's allied forces lost a lot of morale. Seeing that Deng Long was beheaded, Huang Zu let Deng Long fight again.
Liu Pan has a veteran general in his [-]s. Seeing that his army has been beheaded, he clenched his sword and was about to fight.

At this moment Huang Zu shouted loudly: "Who killed the enemy general for me! Promoted to three ranks!"

As soon as these words came out, the five-year-old general slowed down, and rushed out from behind Huang Zu's army with the sound of bells, shouting: "Huang Zu! You must keep your word! Go to Xingba!"
