Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 2864 Someone once said

   Fang Tian's painting halberd stopped in the air.

  The blade of the blade shone with a cold light, as stable as a mountain.

  The rainwater slid down the blade and landed on Han Guo's face.

   On Han Guo's cheek, a red mark of being wounded by the saber energy gradually appeared, as if he had been slashed.

   Lu Bu squinted his eyes, first looked around, but there were no other figures, and then looked at Han Guo's half sword raised.

  『Hmmm…』 Lu Bu put away Fang Tian’s painting halberd, and immediately withdrew his monstrous tumbling momentum, and said slowly, as if he was appraising or approving, “You still look like a man. 』

Han Guo obviously couldn't beat Lu Bu, but even so, Han Guo still didn't back down at all. Even in the end, he fought hard, which was more or less in line with Lu Bu's wishes. It cannot be considered an insult.

  Since it is not an insult, there is no need to kill Han Guo.

  『Go back and raise her for a month or two, then practice hard! ’ Lu Bu waved Fang Tian’s painted halberd, squeezed away the rainwater above his head, and put it behind his back, ‘I won’t keep my hand next time…’

  『Da Duhu...you won’t have a next time...』Han Guo’s arm softened, and half of the saber fell to the ground with a jingling sound, "No more..."

  Lv Bu snorted, didn't pay attention to Han Guo, turned around immediately, and walked into the hall.

  Han Guo lay down on the ground, he didn't have the strength to stand up yet.

   Persuading Lu Bu was more difficult than he imagined.

  Just when Lu Bu was about to enter the hall, Han Guo suddenly had an inspiration in his heart, and he raised his head and shouted at Lu Bu's back, "The Great Protector!" I am Li Changshi's disciple! 』

  Lv Bu's figure seemed to pause for a moment, but then he didn't, and went straight into the hall.

  『Ah...』Han Guo exhaled, and looked at the dark clouds that seemed to be just above his head. The rain in the dark cloud trampled on Han Guo's face recklessly, as if mocking Han Guo's overreach.

  After the feeling of danger disappeared, the pain all over his body returned to Han Guo. He felt that both his hands seemed to be broken, and even now they were still trembling slightly, and it was difficult to even move them.

   Just when Han Guo didn't know how long he was going to lie on the ground, a figure suddenly moved in front of him.

  The Lu Bu guards who were originally in the hall stepped forward, helped Han Guo up, and carried him to the side room.

  Afterwards, a servant came up, untied Han Guo's armor, helped him dry off the rain, and brought a bowl of hot **** soup.

  After drinking the hot **** soup and changing into dry clothes, Han Guo felt that he had gained a bit of strength.

  The doctor came to see Han Guo's hands, applied medicine to him, put a bandage on him, and told him not to touch water, lift heavy objects, or fight any more. It will take at least ten days and a half months.

   It’s okay, Han Guo took a breath. He originally thought that his hands were going to be useless, at least there was something wrong with the bones, but now the doctor said that the bones were fine, which means that Lu Bu really kept his hands?

  『Han Engagement,』 Seeing that Han Guo had basically cleaned up, Lu Bu's guards stepped forward and said, "Da Du Hu is welcome. 』

   Regardless of whether it is on the battlefield or not, there are not many people who dare to challenge Lu Bu head-on and survive. Therefore, Han Guo's actions more or less won the admiration of these soldiers.

  Han Guo was a little surprised, but soon followed the guards into the hall.

  Lu Bu had obviously changed out of his rain-soaked robes early on, and was sitting in the hall. When he saw Han Guo approaching, he gave him a sideways glance, raised his chin slightly, and motioned for Han Guo to sit down.

  『Are you… Li Changshi’s disciple? Lu Bu looked at Han Guo, "Why have you never heard of him?" 』

  Han Guo smiled, but the pain on his body made his smile somewhat weird, "Master left some of his books for me...but he doesn't seem to want to admit me as a disciple..."

   Lu Bu's eyes were slightly cold, "Why? 』

  『It’s probably because Master is afraid of hurting me... 』Han Guo sighed, "Master has been thinking about others almost all his life... but he has very little thought for himself..."

  『Complicated? 』Lu Bu frowned, and then fell silent, but the coldness between his brows and eyes had already subsided.

  After a while, Lu Bu looked at Han Guo and said, "Wen Yuan sent you here?" 』

  Han Guo shook his head, "General Wen Yuan originally wanted me not to come, but I wanted to come to see the Chief Protector." 』

   Lu Bu was silent for a while again, "Now that you see it... just say what you want. 』

  『…』Han Guo didn’t say anything right away, as if he was reorganizing the language. After Han Guo fought Lu Bu, Han Guo also seemed to have a newer understanding of Lu Bu. Han Guo didn’t plan to talk about the original allusions, but just wanted to talk about Han Guo himself, “I Originally, there was also the Marquis... Marquis Xinfeng... Da Duhu should know this, right? 』

  『Original also? New Fenghou? Lu Bu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Then what now?" Hussars stripped you of your title? 』

  Han Guo laughed, "No, the lord originally wanted me to keep this title, but I handed over the seal ribbon to the lord with my own hands. 』

"Why? ’ Lu Bu asked.

Han Guo raised his head slightly, his eyes wandered slightly, as if he remembered something, "I was originally an orphan... Before I was adopted by Master, I was like a wild dog, wandering around in Guanzhong, digging food among the dead people , living in the deserted village... Then Master found me, took me, and some other children... Then I put on human clothes again, and began to eat human food...』

   Lu Bu listened silently, without interrupting or expressing anything.

  『Later I found out that the master asked me to gather with other children to choose an heir for my father. Han Guo nodded and said, "That's right, my late father made an appointment with Han... I inherited his title, and I also inherited his grudge... It's interesting to say that my late father felt that he should Instead, he gave me this name...』

"My late father didn't like me at first..." Han Guo still smiled, but with a bit of bitterness on his face, "In other words, my late father didn't like anyone at first... until my late father took out my That new Marquis Feng’s seal, I just realized that my late father didn’t hate us, but he hated himself...』

Han Guo said slowly, "my late father said that his original idea was just to stand out for the poor people in Xiliang, talk and change the poverty that Xiliang has always had... But he said that he didn't expect that he would even He himself has forgotten what his original wish was... He said that in order to obtain the title of Marquis, he lost his children, relatives, friends, and everything around him, and in the end only The seal of the new Marquis Feng...』

  『My late father said that he didn’t want the new Marquis Feng’s seal to accompany him to the underworld...so my late father gave me the new Marquis Feng’s seal...and I returned the seal to the lord. Han Guo looked at Lu Bu and said, "Master is the same...Master is obviously talented and full of scriptures, but he is unwilling to establish any inheritance, and he doesn't even want me to claim to be his disciple...They have already understood what they need. don't need anything. My father was the last to understand, not until his deathbed. My master is better, at least when he was traveling west, I think, at that time, the master felt relieved...』

  Han Guo's gaze stayed on Lu Bu, "I was thinking about how to persuade Daduhu, but now... the only one who can persuade Daduhu is Daduhu yourself. 』

   Lu Bu frowned deeply.

  Han Guo stood up, tried his best to raise his arms and bowed his hands to salute, "Da Du Hu, my master once said that in this world, people who are unhappy in this world, nine out of ten. The most difficult thing to find in a person's life is peace of mind. Today, I will pass this word on to the Chief Protector... There are still many affairs to be dealt with in the city, so I will not accompany the Chief Protector any longer. I bid farewell. 』

  『…』

   Lu Bu seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

  It was raining heavily.

  The world was in chaos.

  …╭(╯^╰)╮…

  Huang Gai didn't respond to Gan Ning's one-on-one challenge.

  In fact, Zhu Huan had already set off early before Huang Gai set off, but Zhu Huan took another road.

  The land route from Wuling area to Yidao.

   Land roads are no easier than water roads, so Zhu Huan can't move faster.

  The reason why we have to go by water and land is because Jiangdong can't afford to lose now, so we must be cautious. This caution not only needs to be cautious when facing Cao Cao, but also needs to be cautious when facing Fei Qian. Everyone knows that when it comes to fighting, it is best to resolve it as soon as possible. However, most wars in the cold weapon era need to be cautious, unable to communicate in time, and do not know where the friendly side is...

  Huang Gai started to act only after he got the news that Zhu Huan had rushed to the place.

  So in this situation, Huang Gai is the head of Duoben, so he will give up the current dominant situation and go one-on-one with Gan Ning?

  Even if it is the most stupid drama, it is not dare to shoot like this now.

  Seeing Huang Gai's refusal to fight, Gan Ning jumped in panic, and then laughed at Huang Gai's timidity, trying to boost his own morale and attack the momentum of Jiangdong's soldiers, but obviously the effect was mediocre.

   While Gan Ning was still struggling to resist, Zhu Huan arrived by land.

   This is almost equivalent to the last straw, which quickly crushed the fighting spirit of the Sichuan and Shu water army.

   Almost without much effort, Zhu Huan rushed into Gan Ning's water village in Yidao, and seeing that he was about to kill Gan Ning behind him, he surrounded Gan Ning together with Huang Gai.

In the chaos, Gan Ning didn't know exactly how many Jiangdong troops had come, but he knew that on the water and land, there were enemies everywhere, with flags flying, and whether he was on the water village or on the boats The soldiers are all panicked...

   After all, if the ambush fails, you will be ambushed instead. The psychological gap is not something ordinary people can bear.

  Gan Ning saw that the general situation was over, so he hurriedly ordered to retreat.

   At this time, the immaturity of the Sichuan and Shu navy was fully displayed. Competing with each other for the way, on the contrary, it is ten times more difficult for boats to turn around than war horses, so that they collide with each other, squeeze each other, hurt and die, and many people fall into the water.

If the number of casualties during the entire battle is made into a chart, then in fact, the curve of casualties is relatively flat from the beginning to the end, and the angle of climb is not very large. After the order to retreat is issued, it is It suddenly rose upwards, straight into the sky.

  Huang Gai was still very cautious. After chasing and killing for a while, he gathered his soldiers and stationed in Yidao.

After Gan Ning retreated, 100% of his troops were lost, and the personal blow to Gan Ning was so great that after he got off the boat, he became more and more angry, feeling that his family had lost all face, and was furious. Sheng Teng yelled and pulled out his knife to cut down a small tree beside the road. This was not a relief, but he went up and kicked twice, knocking down the remaining half of the tree trunk.

   Gan Ning’s behavior of destroying the country’s vegetation will cost at least a hundred thousand yuan in future generations.

  Zhuge Liang watched from a distance, and didn't speak, but felt a little regretful. I am not sorry for the little tree, but for the lost soldiers. Zhuge Liang originally thought that Gan Ning would be able to survive in Yidao for a period of time, even if he was attacked for a few days, but Zhuge Liang really didn't expect that in less than a day, the Yidao water village fell , making Zhuge Liang's originally prepared follow-up measures all in vain.

   Seeing Zhuge Liang standing in the distance with a blank face, Gan Ning was a little embarrassed, put away the knife, and approached Zhuge Liang, and laughed a few times, but didn't know what to say.

  『General Gan has worked hard. "Zhuge Liang said very politely, "Get ready to retreat, we need to work out a new plan with General Xu Gongming. 』

In the original plan, Wang Shuang feigned defeat, and then Gan Ning laid an ambush to give Jiangdong's army a head-on blow. On the one hand, the Sichuan and Shu navy could be trained first, so that the Sichuan and Shu navy could grow up in actual combat. On the other hand, it can also slow down the speed of the Jiangdong navy's advance, and then give up Yidao when the Jiangdong navy marches in a large scale, and burn a fire or something by the way...

   As a result, the only thing left is to retire.

  The current morale of the Sichuan and Shushui Army is not completely broken, but it is not much better. It is not impossible to forcibly reverse the offensive, but it is too demanding, and the most important thing is that it is unnecessary. So Zhuge Liang simply said to retreat, and gathered with Xu Huang.

Gan Ning was somewhat unwilling, but there was nothing he could do. Who told him that he was really careless before, arrogantly thinking that Lao Tzu was the best in the world, but he suffered a disadvantage in front of Huang Gai, so he could only grit his teeth secretly and beat Huang Gai Huang Gai's name was recorded under his knife, and he vowed to use Huang Gai's blood to wash away his shame this time.

  After the Sichuan and Shu troops retreated, Huang Gai and Zhu Huan also began to clean up the battlefield.

  Gan Ning brought a lot of luggage in Yidao Shuizhai, which naturally became the spoils of war for the Jiangdong Army. There are more than 20 large and small ships that can still be used, and there are more than 1,000 prisoners, nearly half of whom are wounded. Huang Gai didn't keep these captives, but made up a straggler, escorted these prisoners from the Sichuan and Shu navy onto the boat, turned around and headed for Jiangling.

The Cao army in Jiangling is thinking about the progress of the Jiangdong army. After all, they are staring at Huang Gai all the way to the west, so the Jiangdong army will inevitably have a battle with the Sichuan and Shu army. The "gift" from here, these captured soldiers of the Sichuan and Shu army.

  Huang Gai's envoy handed over all the prisoners of the Sichuan and Shu Army to Cao Jun. Although it was a little bit like borrowing a knife to kill people, it also made Cao Zhen in Jiangling stare round.

Although it is needless to say that the 18,000 navy has an advantage against the 4,000 to 5,000 navy in Yidao, they have won a complete victory in such a short period of time, and it can even be said that Sichuan and Shu in Yidao The water army was wiped out, which was a bit beyond Cao Zhen's expectation.

   Is Jiangdong's navy too strong?

   Or is the navy in Sichuan and Shu too weak?

  But no matter how you say it, Cao Zhen has a new understanding of the current situation.

  Jiangling is in the south of Xiangyang. As a barrier to the south of Xiangyang, it has the same meaning as its name, half of water and half of mountains. As early as when Jiangdong and Cao Cao competed for Jiangling, most of the fortifications and buildings here were destroyed. Although they have been repaired to a certain extent, they are somewhat different from the original ones after all.

   On the whole, if Jiangling is not lost, then there will be no risk of Xiangyang coming from the south. For the sake of safety, Cao Ren left Cao Zhen to sit in Jiangling, and he himself commanded the Cao army to control Xiangyang, so as to prevent the Jiangdong army from making any false moths to the greatest extent.

  Don’t worry about the means by which the Jiangdong army won the victory. Yidao was indeed captured by Jiangdong, and there are so many captives who are not fake, so Cao Zhen immediately sent someone to Xu County to report...

The Jiangdong army has mastered the Yi Road, but there are two roads in front of them. The northern road is relatively common. When Liu Bei entered Sichuan from Jingzhou Jiangling and Liu Biao's troops, he went upstream to Dayu. , while the other one is only half of the waterway, and the other half is to cross mountains and ridges to enter Sichuan and Shu.

There are two roads, the north is the most easy way to go, and Yufuyi is extremely dangerous, and the river becomes narrower as you go further, even with a navy of 100,000 or 80,000, it is impossible to deploy. It can be a long snake array moving forward.

  The main problem with the road to the south is that it is on the mountain road. The Jiangdong Navy's combat effectiveness is 20% off when they disembark, and then climb the mountains and mountains. I am afraid that it is not half of the original combat effectiveness.

  Huang Gai's opinion is to continue to take the water route and advance gradually.

   And Zhu Huan's idea is that he can try to walk the mountain road, because he has walked this way before.

  Huang Gai glared at Zhu Huan, and Zhu Huan glared at Huang Gai. The two of them didn't show any tacit understanding and friendship cultivated in the Wuling area before.

  In fact, Huang Gai knew why Zhu Huan chose to take the mountain road, and Zhu Huan also knew why he chose to take the waterway, but the reasons they both hid could not be revealed...

   Simply put, Huang Gai is a veteran and Zhu Huan is a rookie.

  The friendship and tacit understanding between two people cannot fill the original huge gap between the two of them, at most it can only build one or two bridges over the ditch.

   And now, the bridge is clearly congested.
