After being abandoned by Liu Bei, Cao Cao begged me to be a military adviser

Page 144

Gan Ning sat down and his horse neighed, he quickly reined in and blocked Xu Chu's second strike.

But Gao Shun's big ax had already flown, and directly chopped at his horse's neck.

"Pfft!"

Blood spurted from the severed neck of the horse.

Gan Ning fell off his horse in an instant.

The soldiers of Cao Jun behind Xu Chu quickly surrounded him and pointed their spears at Gan Ning's neck countless times.

Whenever he dared to move, his neck would be pierced by hundreds of guns.

Xu Chu said, "Put down your weapons and surrender, and spare your life!"

Although Gan Ning fought bravely, he was not a muscle.

In line with the principle that a good man does not suffer immediate losses, he immediately put down his weapon and obediently raised his hands.

Gan Ning was tied up, and his murdered subordinates also surrendered on the spot.

Lu Meng and Lu Su who were standing on the top of the city saw this scene clearly.

"Hey!" Lu Su sighed, "Gan Ning has been captured, should we just watch like this?"

Lu Meng didn't speak, but looked at Ling Tong who was beside him, who said: "Mr. Zijing's words are wrong, what is lost at this time is Gan Ning, if the city gate is opened, what is lost is the whole city!"

Lu Meng nodded slightly, expressing his agreement with Ling Tong's words.

"Hey!" Lu Su sighed again, unable to say a word.

Ling Tong's father, Ling Cao, died at the hands of Gan Ning.

In the Battle of Sanjiangkou, Ling Tong once rescued Lu Meng.

Now that Ling Tong is throwing stones at Gan Ning, Lu Mengquan should not see it.

It is only to blame that the governor Zhou Yu is still recuperating at the mansion, otherwise such a tragic situation would never have happened.

Lu Xun suddenly asked, "Since Gan Ning was captured, why didn't Cao Jun leave?"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Meng and Lu Su's expressions changed.

Lu Meng suddenly asked: "Could it be that there are other schemes?"

At this moment, the soldiers came to report: "The big thing is not good, the camp in the city was flooded, and the treasury was burned!"

"What?" Lu Meng's expression changed suddenly.

Lu Su shook his head: "This is by no means accidental, but someone deliberately did it!"

Lu Meng shook his head and scolded: "Be on guard against everything, it's hard to guard against house thieves!"

"No!" Lu Xun shook his head: "Zhao Yun has not been seen among Cao's troops so far. He may have entered Chaisang City before us, and he just made an attack tonight!"

For a moment, Lu Su and Lu Meng were dumbfounded.

Chapter 191 Breaking through Chaisang City, Sun Shiwan wants to run away

"It was you who ordered the city gate to be closed!" Huang Gai immediately reprimanded Lu Meng, "Now that Gan Ning has been captured and Cao Jun is at the city gate, how do you explain it to the governor?"

Han Dang also hugged his shoulders and snorted coldly, he fought side by side with Huang Gai and Gan Ning.

He didn't make an attack before, but he was thinking about defending Chaisang City.

Now that the whole city is in crisis, it is natural to throw Lu Meng into the well.

In the panic of everyone, Zhou Yu dragged his sick body to the top of the city.

"Great Governor!"

All the generals gathered around Zhou Yu one after another.

Zhou Yu waved his hands: "The two old generals are defending the city, Ling Tong and Lu Meng will go immediately to quell the chaos in the city!"

"Obey!" The four generals clasped their fists in gesture.

Lu Meng and Ling Tong immediately went down to the top of the city with soldiers and horses.

Han Dang and Huang Gai organized their troops to attack Cao's army immediately at the top of the wall.

Zhou Yu looked at Lu Su again.

Lu Su said, "Governor, Boyan said that the fire in the city was caused by Zhao Yun. He has already entered the city?"

"Yeah!" Zhou Yu nodded, half-closed his eyes.

When sending troops from Jiangdong, Zhou Yu was ambitious, and he had the potential to not defeat Cao Cao and not return to Jiangdong.

But from Jiang Qian's stealing of books to Pang Tong's false surrender to Huo Gong, every move he made was countered by Cao Ji.

Until the Battle of Sanjiangkou, the Jiangdong Army was completely defeated.

Tonight, even Chaisang City might not be able to keep it.

Cao Ji worked every step of the way, and every time he could count on everything.

But he, Zhou Yu, was falling into the trap planned by Cao Ji step by step.

At this moment, Zhou Yu was lying flat.

In other words, he had given up struggling and couldn't look directly at Cao Ji, just like he couldn't look directly at the scorching sun.

Zhou Yu said: "Zijing, you and Zhou Tai quickly organize the city's Chinese and military officials to board the boat and evacuate before dawn!"

Lu Su asked, "Gongjin, what should you do?"

Zhou Yu smiled wryly. He noticed that Lu Su called Gong Jin, not the governor.

This is a greeting between friends.

"I'm just a sick body lingering on its last breath!"

"In the Battle of Sanjiangkou, I was ashamed of the children of Jiangdong, and caused old Cheng Pu to die in battle!"

"If I die in Chaisang City today, I will die well!"

Zhou Yu smiled calmly, but Lu Su's eyes were red.

"It's not too late, Zijing, let's go!" Zhou Yu patted him on the shoulder vigorously.

"Obey!" Lu Su turned his head and bowed to Zhou Yu, then walked down the wall slowly.

Zhou Yu looked at Cao Jun slowly approaching outside the city, feeling ashamed in his heart.

Huang Gai and Han Dang stepped forward one after another.

"Great governor, the two of us will fight to the death with you!"

"For Jiangdong, shed blood until the last moment!"

Zhou Yu beckoned, and the entourage immediately brought his chair.

Sitting on the chair, Zhou Yu said loudly: "Let's go to war!"

"Yes!" Han Dang and Huang Gai shouted.

In the blink of an eye, Cao Jun approached the city.

Jiangdong Army immediately released bows and arrows from the top of the city.

Cao Jun resisted with a shield formation, and then set up a temporary climbing ladder and began to climb the city wall.

There was a scuffle outside the city, and the same chaos inside the city.

Sun Quan and a group of civil servants gathered in the meeting hall early on.

As soon as Lu Su and Zhou Tai entered, they were looked at by everyone.

Sun Quan stepped forward: "Zijing, what's going on? Why is there fire everywhere in the city?"

Lu Su bowed to Sun Quan and said, "My lord, please board the boat from Nancheng wharf quickly and retreat to Moling city!"

When Sun Quan heard this, he immediately drew his sword: "The Jiangdong soldiers are still here, and I, Sun Quan, will never leave!"

As soon as this remark came out, Chao Wenwu stepped forward one after another.

Zhang Zhaodao: "Master, absolutely not!"

Zhang Hong also said: "The lord is a body of ten thousand gold, at this time, he should follow the advice of the governor!"

Gu Yongdao: "Think twice, my lord, if you fall into a trap at this time, Jiangdong will be destroyed in an instant!"

Zhuge Jin also said: "My lord, if you keep the green hills there, you won't have to worry about no firewood!"

All the civil officials were trying to persuade Sun Quan, but he was indifferent.

Lu Su spoke again: "My lord, the enemy general Zhao Yun entered the city pretending to be a defeated army a few days ago. Today, Cao Ji and Zhao Yunli are cooperating with each other. If you don't leave, I'm afraid Jiangdong will perish!"

"Pa-ta!" The sword in Sun Quan's hand fell to the ground, and at this moment he realized the seriousness of the matter.

Zhang Zhao immediately winked at Zhou Tai and Chen Wu.

The two looked at each other, and without a word, Sun Quan was picked up and carried away.

"What are you doing, let me go?" Sun Quan yelled.

"Quick retreat, quick retreat, everyone retreats quickly, there is no need to carry luggage, let alone go back to the house to find family members, this is an order!"

As soon as Zhang Zhao's words fell, everyone's Jiangdong courtiers fled away like flying.

In just one stick of incense, the entire Chaisang City was in chaos.

Someone yelled that the governor Zhou Yu was dead.

Cao Jun has already entered the city.

Gan Ning surrendered to the enemy and was already the vanguard of Cao Jun.

All kinds of rumors were passed back and forth in the city, and people's hearts could not stand the test.

Under the protection of Chen Wu, Sun Quan and other civil servants went ahead by boat.

Afterwards, Cheng Wenwu's family boarded the ship again.

But there are too many family members of generals in the city.

Even the old Zhang Zhao still has several concubines.

The concubines were rushing to board the ship, even the soldiers couldn't surrender them, Zhou Tai shook his head as he watched.

At the critical moment, Sun Shangxiang came with the child on his back and raised his sword.

All the more than a hundred maids around him were holding swords.

These female relatives were frightened into silence,

Sun Shangxiang climbed up and shouted: "The old man and the child go first, and I, Sun Shangxiang, stay at the end. If anyone dares to cause trouble, I will spend her face and take her hand!"

These female family members who are not afraid of Zhou Tai are extremely afraid of Sun Shangxiang.

Because every woman knows that once her face is disfigured and her hands are chopped off, it is more uncomfortable than death.

The chaotic crowd became orderly, and the elderly and children boarded the ship first.

Zhou Tai in the distance bowed to Sun Shangxiang.

Countless soldiers were also impressed by Sun Shangxiang's courage.

One ship after another, the family members of the officials in the city were transferred one after another.

At this time, the city was still fighting fiercely.

Zhao Yun led Baima Yicong as bravely as a tiger descending a mountain.

Lu Meng and Ling Tong kept chasing and intercepting them.

But in the end Zhao Yun opened the west city gate.

Xu Chu led the Huwei Battalion into the city.

Make one of the two parts together, and turn around to hunt down the Jiangdong Army.
