"Damn Gan Xingba!" Jiang Qin looked at Gan Ning who was leaving, and said with a look of unwillingness.

"If he wants to leave, we can't stop him! Let's see what happened to General Ling!" Zhou Tai looked at Jiang Qin with some helplessness and said, and then set his eyes on Ling Cao who was lying on the ground dying.

"Father, father!" Ling Tong quickly climbed to Ling Cao's side, looking at his dying father, his face showed a trace of sadness.

"Son, it's not long since I was appointed by my father. I am ashamed of my lord. You must serve Soochow well in the future..." Ling Cao whispered to Ling Tong with a pale face.

Chapter 469 Soochow Retreats

Ling Tong looked at Ling Cao who was slowly closing his eyes in his arms. His arms were already weak and his breathing had stopped. Tears came out of his eyes instantly.

"Gan Ning, I am at odds with you!" The heartbroken voice rang out on the Yangtze River.

At this time, Gan Ning, who had swam to the shore, suddenly sneezed, his face was a little weird, he was usually in good health, why did he suddenly sneezed again?

"Boss, what's wrong with you?" The little soldier on the side looked at Gan Ning in a daze, and asked Gan Ning cautiously.

"I'm fine! Let's go back to Jiangxia early!" Gan Ning looked at the little soldier who cared about him, said with a smile on his lips, and then walked quickly towards Jiangxia City.

"My lord, General Ling Cao died in battle!" Jiang Qin said to Sun Quan in a heavy tone with Ling Tong, who was carrying Ling Cao's body, with a painful expression on his face.

After hearing Jiang Qin's words, Sun Quan was slightly distracted, looked at the thin Ling Tong with Ling Cao on his back, and said with a sad face: "General Ling Cao is my general of Soochow, how could it be like this?"

"My lord! Please send troops to Jiang Xia to avenge my father!" Ling Tong put down his father, knelt down on the ground, and said to Sun Quan with a sad face.

After hearing Ling Tong's words, Sun Quan wanted to immediately reply to send troops to avenge General Ling Cao, but Zhou Yu stood up and stopped Sun Quan.

"Gongjin?" Sun Quan looked at Zhou Yu who was holding him back, and asked Zhou Yu with a puzzled expression.

Zhou Yu looked at Sun Quan, then at Ling Tong who was looking sad, and then said to Sun Quan in a heavy tone, "My lord, let's go back to Jiangdong now!"

"Back to Jiangdong? Gongjin, we have just dispatched troops and captured Xiakou. Now that General Ling Cao has died in battle, how can we say to retreat?" Sun Quan stared angrily at Zhou Yu's words. Zhou Yu said.

And Ling Tong at the side listened to Zhou Yu's words, and also turned his gaze to Zhou Yu's side, with a trace of resentment in his eyes!

Zhou Yu looked at Sun Quan with a bad face, and finally explained to Sun Quan helplessly: "Now the whereabouts of our army have been discovered by Huang Zu, and General Ling Cao died in battle, and the vanguard troops were basically wiped out. Morale has been greatly reduced, and now our army is no longer suitable for attacking, my lord should return to Jiangdong, and wait for the future to avenge today's revenge!"

After hearing Zhou Yu's words, Sun Quan looked at Ling Tong who was kneeling on the ground, and began to hesitate. He didn't know what decision to make. After all, what Zhou Yu said made sense, so it was impossible for Sun Quan not to listen!

"My lord! Secret report!" At this moment, a little soldier came to Sun Quan with a nervous expression, and said to Sun Quan cautiously.

Sun Quan looked at the soldier, took the letter from him, and immediately became serious, then silently put the letter in front of Zhou Yu, motioning Zhou Yu to look at it.

After Zhou Yu read the letter, he said to Sun Quan with a heavy tone: "In the current form, I'm afraid the only option is to retreat, otherwise, my lord, Jiangdong will be in trouble!"

Sun Quan clenched the ancient ingot knife in his hand and said to Wenwu in a heavy tone: "This damned Shanyue is really stubborn. Let's take revenge for today's revenge. Let's get rid of Shanyue's lifeless guys first. !"

After listening to Sun Quan's words, everyone guessed the letter almost ninety-nine times out of ten. It must be that Shanyue in Jiangdong sent troops to capture the county again. As the saying goes, if you want to expand externally, you must stabilize the interior. It seems that Sun Quan will return to the army in all likelihood Nine.

Ling Tong looked at Sun Quan, sighed helplessly, and finally said to Sun Quan with a heavy tone: "I hope my lord will remember to avenge my father!"

"Don't worry, I, Sun Zhongmou, will definitely repay the vengeance of General Ling Cao and the soldiers who died in the battle this time!" Seeing Ling Tong's understanding of righteousness, Sun Quan looked at Ling Tong with a serious face. Ling Tong said.

Zhou Yu looked at Sun Quan, thought for a while, and said to Sun Quan: "Master, since our army is retreating, this Xiakou must be firmly in our hands, and it will be used as an outpost for our army to attack Jiangxia and Jingzhou in the future. Leave the general and a large number of soldiers to guard!"

Sun Quan nodded after listening to Zhou Yu's words, then looked at Zhou Yu and asked, "Gong Jin, who do you think can take on this important task?"

Zhou Yu listened to Sun Quan's words, looked at the generals around him, finally saluted Sun Quan, and said to Zhou Yu in a heavy tone, "I think General Youping can take on this important task!"

Zhou Tai on the side heard what Zhou Yu said, and immediately stood up from his position, and said to Sun Quan in a serious tone: "My lord, I am willing to lead the Jiangdong army and horses, guard this place, and make sure this place is not lost!"

Sun Quan looked at Zhou Tai's confidence slowly, and said that Zhou Tai was his confidant, so Sun Quan agreed very easily.

"Youping, I will give you [-] soldiers and horses, and you must defend Xiakou for Jiangdong!" Sun Quan said to Zhou Tai in a heavy tone, seeing Zhou Tai's confident expression.

Zhou Tai patted his chest, and responded to Sun Quan: "My lord, don't worry, just leave it to me!"

Under the sudden attack of Shanyue and the defeat of Soochow's vanguard, Sun Quan had no choice but to retreat from Xiakou and return to Soochow.

As for Jiangxia City, Huang Zu had already led his troops back to Jiangxia. Seeing the Soochow navy retreating slowly, he asked Su Fei with a strange expression, "Why did the Soochow navy retreat!"

"General, Zhou Yu and Sun Quan are all insidious and cunning people. I'm afraid there is some kind of conspiracy. The general just needs to guard Jiangxia well!" Su Fei touched his beard after hearing Huang Zu's words, and turned to Huang Zu. Zu remonstrated.

"You're right, tell the soldiers to step up their defenses, I'll go down and rest first!" Huang Zu nodded after listening to Su Fei's words, and then said to Su Fei a little tiredly.

Su Fei looked at Huang Zu's leaving back, and sighed helplessly. He was about to fight the Soochow army, but when Huang Zu saw that the Soochow army had arrived, he retreated directly. People like Huang Zu , it is a miracle to be able to keep Jiangxia for more than ten years without losing it!

And Cao Cao's army in the north is attacking Nanpi City, which is the last strong city under the Yuan family, and the guard of this city is Chen Lin who wrote an article that scolded Cao Cao bloody.

"Zhong De, who is the defender of Nanpi?" Cao Cao rode his horse and looked at the towering city wall of Nanpi, and asked Cheng Yu beside him with some doubts in his tone.

"My lord, it's Chen Lin, Chen Kongzhang!" Cheng Yu answered Cao Cao cautiously after hearing Cao Cao's question.

"Back then, Chen Kongzhang scolded me for an article that made me tremble all over. This Chen Lin's writing style is first-rate. If I catch him, I will definitely use him again and let him write articles to cheer me up!" Cao Cao listened to Cheng Yu's words. With a smile on his face, he said to Cheng Yu with a candid look.

After hearing Cao Cao's words, Cheng Yu cupped his fists and said to Cao Cao, "Your Majesty is really broad-minded, which is beyond the reach of the world!"

"Mr. Chen, there are 3000 Cao's troops below, and our army is only [-]. How can we defend this city!" At this time, the guard in Nanpi City said to Chen Lin who was looking at the city defense map with a dignified expression.

After hearing what the guard said, Chen Lin silently raised her head, and said with a serious expression: "Now I am the guard of Nanpi, and I will definitely guard this Nanpi city to repay Duke Yuan's favor." Huen, besides, our army has the advantage of the city wall, as long as we are careful, Cao's army will definitely not be able to attack!"

In fact, Chen Lin also wanted to surrender to Cao Cao, but Chen Lin didn't have the courage to surrender to Cao Cao. After all, the article she wrote for Yuan Shao to attack Cao Cao scolded Cao Cao's family all over again, and there were some words in it. , Chen Lin is still so vicious in retrospect, and now she surrenders, it's no wonder Cao Cao didn't kill herself!

"Mr. Chen, Cao Cao's Xu Chu is calling for battle under the city gate!" At this time, a soldier came to the prefect's mansion with a heavy face and said, looking at the stern face of Chen Lin.

"This Xu Chu is one of Cao Cao's top generals. Just let him call for battle under the city tower. Don't bother with him, just guard the city!" Chen Lin said to the soldier who sent the letter with a serious tone after hearing what the soldier said. .

"Mr. Chen, then Cao Mengde came to the city and said that he wanted to meet with you, let's have a chat!" At this moment, the soldier came back to report to Chen Lin.

"No, no, I don't bother to see Cao Mengde!" Chen Lin replied in a heavy tone after hearing what the soldiers said.

4 Chapter Seventy

"This Chen Lin is still unwilling to come out to see me. It seems that Chen Lin is extremely afraid of me!" Cao Cao stroked his beard, and looked at Yuan Jun who was holding on to the city with a smile on his face. Chen Lin said with a slight smile.

Cheng Yu laughed when he heard Cao Cao's words, and then said to Cao Cao with a calm expression: "Now Nanpi City is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It may be difficult for Chen Lin to defend the city. Why don't you take a detour now and go to Youzhou, etc. After taking Youzhou, let's take Nanpi again!"

"Zhongde, this statement is wrong. This Nanpi City is the last strong city of the Yuan family. If Nanpi City is captured, the morale of Yuan's army will plummet. It will not be easy for our army to dominate Hebei!" Cao Cao stroked his beard, Said calmly.

"Hehe, Mengde! If you want to break through Nanpi City, you still have to rely on me!" At this moment, Xu You rode a horse and came to Cao Cao's side with a somewhat smug expression, and said with a sneer .

Xu Chu on the side heard Xu You calling Cao Cao directly, and immediately stared at Xu You with wide eyes, while Cao Cao looked at Xu Chu on the side, waved his hand slightly, and signaled Xu Chu not to be impulsive.

"Could it be that Ziyuan has a strategy to defeat the enemy? I hope Ziyuan will teach me!" Cao Cao looked at Xu You, with a flash of disgust in his eyes, and then asked Xu You, who was laughing, in a pretending respectful tone.

Seeing Cao Cao's respectful look, Xu You laughed, and said to Cao Cao in a somewhat rebellious tone: "I think that Nanpi and Bohai were Yuan Shao's territory before Yuan Shao captured Jizhou. At that time, Yuan Shao appointed me as Nanpi The prefect, and now the guard in the city is my confidant, as long as I give an order, this Nanpi City will belong to you, Meng De!"

"This statement is true!" Cao Cao asked Xu You with his eyes wide open after hearing Xu You's words.
