Can I get to the other side?
Chapter 332: Cao Cao plots to seize Jingzhou
At this time, Huang Zhong and Zhou Tai were fighting in full swing.
Although he had spent a lot of energy in the previous fight, he still seemed to be able to face the three of them with ease, and even suppressed them and beat them.
However, although he was able to defeat Zhou Tai and the others, he could not change the situation at a disadvantage because there were too many enemy troops around him.
Although the warriors who first entered the camp were brave, they did not have outstanding physical strength like him. After successive battles, the rate of damage began to increase rapidly.
If this continues, they will inevitably be surrounded and killed here.
Huang Zhong knew his own situation clearly, but he had already put life and death aside, and he only had one thought now.
That means dragging these people here!
Never let them go to rescue Sun Quan!
The more Zhou Tai and the others fought, the more frightened they became. They thought they could quickly deal with the veteran in front of them by joining forces, but they found that they couldn't defeat him at all!
They can only rely on the superiority of their troops to carry out siege rounds, otherwise the three of them may have died under Huang Zhong's sword!
"Youping, Yi Gong and I are holding this old man back. You go quickly to help my lord!"
Seeing that Huang Zhong could not be dealt with for a while, Cheng Pu immediately told Zhou Tai that he was worried that Sun Quan would be overtaken by Zhang Liao before he could escape back to the camp.
"good!"
Zhou Tai suffered many injuries at this time and looked quite scary covered in blood. However, after hearing Cheng Pu's instructions, he agreed without saying a word.
But just when he was about to leave the battlefield.
But he saw a troop of soldiers and horses coming from behind from a distance.
It's Zhang Liao!
Zhang Liao led the leading warriors back to the battlefield, but this time there was Sun Quan who was tied up by his side!
"Lord!!"
Zhou Tai, Cheng Pu and Han Dang were all shocked!
They never expected that Sun Quan would be captured!
When Huang Zhong saw this, he was overjoyed. He raised his hand and wiped the blood on his face, and laughed loudly: "The blue-eyed thief has been captured alive, and your defeat is certain!"
Han Dang was so frightened and angry that he pointed his gun at Zhang Liao and said angrily: "Let my lord go quickly, otherwise you will die violently today, and the whole city of Hefei will be slaughtered!"
"Yi Gong, stop talking nonsense!"
Cheng Pu was old and prudent, much calmer than Han Dang. He immediately scolded him and then said to Zhang Liao seriously: "General Zhang, you won this battle."
"You are indeed unparalleled in bravery for being able to capture my lord among thousands of armies; but now that Hefei City is about to be defeated, we still have an absolute advantage."
"How about we make a deal? As long as you release our lord, we will lead our troops to retreat and leave Huainan County."
Hefei City can hardly withstand their attack. If they don't stop the attack, they can only hold on for another hour at most.
So even if Zhang Liao captured Sun Quan, they still had the advantage in terms of the overall situation, and withdrawing troops was the only bargaining chip they could use to negotiate now.
"trade?"
Zhang Liao sneered, pulled out the sharp blade from his waist and placed it on Sun Quan's neck, "Rebel rat, what qualifications do you have to make a deal with me?"
"If I were afraid of death, I wouldn't rush into battle to catch the thief!"
"Now that the blue-eyed thief has been captured by me, you should immediately put down your weapons and surrender, otherwise he will die today!"
"This is an order, not a discussion!"
"Don't say I didn't predict what I said!"
As Zhang Liao spoke, he pressed his hand harder, and the sharp blade cut a bloody line on Sun Quan's neck, oozing out traces of blood.
He risked his life to capture Sun Quan not just to make them stop attacking the city, but also to make these rebels surrender immediately!
"don't want!"
Cheng Pu's expression changed greatly. Zhang Liao's determination was beyond his imagination and directly killed his attempt to negotiate.
Seeing that Sun Quan's life was hanging by a thread, Cheng Pu's expression changed, and finally he gritted his teeth and said: "We are willing to——"
"No surrender!"
At this moment, Sun Quan suddenly shouted, with a ferocious look on his face, "We are enemies with Lu Bu. If we choose to surrender, we will inevitably die. Now An Neng can surrender!"
Then he looked at Zhang Liao and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Liao, if you kill me, all the common people and soldiers in Hefei City will be buried with me!"
"But if you let me go, I will swear on the Yangtze River to withdraw our troops from Huainan County and never invade again!"
If he surrenders now, he will fall into the hands of the imperial court.
With his behavior of resisting the court, pretending to surrender and then stabbing him in the back, the emperor would not let him go easily. In the end, he would still be killed, and he would even kill the Sun family.
So it's all about death anyway, so why not take a gamble and see if Zhang Liao dares to trade the lives of the soldiers and civilians in Hefei City for his own!
Seeing Sun Quan's determined gaze, Zhang Liao was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this green-eyed thief would be so courageous and dare to threaten his life at a critical moment.
But this plays right into his weakness.
He was not afraid of death, but he had to consider the common people and soldiers in Hefei. If he really killed Sun Quan, Cheng Pu and others ordered the army to attack Hefei and massacre the city in anger. He was really unable to resist.
"Is it possible that we have no choice but to let him go?"
Zhang Liao was very unwilling. It was a good thing to make the enemy retreat and save Hefei City, but he hoped to win even more.
And he didn't believe that these Jiangdong rats would really withdraw their troops.
Maybe he might turn around and stab him in the back again.
When Sun Quan saw that Zhang Liao was silent, he knew that what he had just said was useful. Just as he was about to strike while the iron was hot, he suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet trembling slightly, and the stones kept beating on the ground.
"The earth dragon turned over?"
Sun Quan was shocked when he saw this. At this time, he noticed that everyone's eyes were looking to the east, so he looked up and his eyes widened instantly.
Because in the distance, there was an army like a black tide attacking the battlefield, among which there were Chinese characters on the flags flying wildly with the strong wind. They were the soldiers of the court!
"It's Ziyi!"
Zhang Liao was very excited. Apart from Taishi Ci, he couldn't think of any other Han army that could come to help at this critical moment.
He sent people to ask Taishi Ci, who was staying in Xuzhou, for help long before Sun's army attacked the city. He thought it would take at least seven days to arrive, but Taishi Ci came faster than he thought!
Now it's only five days and he has arrived!
Seeing Taishi Ci leading his troops to come, Zhang Liao's confidence increased greatly, and he sneered at Sun Quan: "Blue-eyed thief, do you still think I dare not kill you now!"
Since Taishi Ci's troops have arrived, he doesn't have to worry about the threat of Sun's army, so if Sun Quan dares to say no again, he will act without hesitation!
Sun Quan stared blankly at the Han army rushing in from a distance, his face gradually turned pale, and the last glimmer of hope in his heart was shattered.
His defeat was certain.
Cheng Pu and others were also ashamed, and they put down their weapons one after another, and ordered the troops to stop the attack.
And Zhang Liao threw Sun Quan to the Xiandeng Camp elite soldiers on the side, then strode to the flag where Sun's army stood, waved his hand and cut it off with a knife!
As the flag fell, all the Han army soldiers present burst into thunderous cheers.
"Victory--!!"
Zhang Liao raised his arms and roared, like a tiger's roar.
The power of Xiaoyaojin!
At this moment, he was the most eye-catching star standing on the battlefield, and this battle would surely go down in history and become the most important part of his military career!
…
Tongling Ferry.
Because of the war that broke out in Jiangbei, Cao Cao had not left during this period, both vigilant and on the sidelines.
Sun Quan suddenly turned against Zhang Liao and led his troops to attack Huainan County. This was completely unexpected to him. He didn't know if this was a conspiracy against him.
However, after sending scouts to investigate, he found that the two sides were really fighting, and they were fighting desperately.
Sun Quan's army went out and launched a fierce attack on Hefei City; and there were not many defenders in Hefei City, and it could be breached at any time.
This discovery made Cao Cao very happy.
"Good fight! Let's fight like this. It's best to kill each other and neither side will be able to get involved in Jiangdong again!"
"If I have a son, I hope he will be like Sun Zhongmou!"
Cao Cao was very pleased. He originally wanted to rely on Sun Quan to consume the power of the court, but Sun Quan chose to surrender.
But now Sun Quan has turned against the court again and launched an attack with all his forces, which has brought everything back to his original idea.
He understood what Sun Quan's purpose was.
It was nothing more than wanting to take over Huainan County, occupy the population and food supplies that he had not yet migrated, and temporarily take a breath.
But for him, this was a great thing.
Zhang Liao's troops would definitely not be able to defend Hefei, and when Sun Quan occupied Huainan County, or even Jiangbei and Yuzhou, he would become the first target of the court to eliminate, just like his original situation.
However, with Sun Quan's own strength and those population and supplies, it should not be a problem to resist for a year or two, which would buy him a long time.
"My Lord! My Lord!"
Just when Cao Cao was happily fishing on the shore, Xu Chu hurried over and started shouting loudly before he arrived.
Seeing the fish about to be hooked being scared away, Cao Cao's good mood was half gone, and he scolded Xu Chu: "Why are you shouting? You scared away all my fish!"
Xu Chu took the scolding honestly, and then said: "Something big has happened, my Lord. There is the latest battle situation in Huainan County."
Cao Cao snorted coldly when he heard this, and cast his eyes back to the water, and said without looking back: "Isn't it just that Hefei City was broken? What's the fuss?"
It has been six days since Sun Quan started to attack Hefei. With the few troops in Hefei City, it is normal for it to be broken. He had expected it long ago.
"No, my Lord."
Xu Chu shook his head and said: "Hefei City was not broken, it was Sun Quan who was defeated and surrendered."
Cao Cao's hand holding the fishing rod trembled suddenly.
The fish that had just approached was scared away again.
He turned his head and looked at Xu Chu, saying in disbelief: "What did you say? Hefei City was not broken? Sun Quan surrendered after being defeated?!"
He wondered if he had heard wrongly.
Sun Quan led an army of 30,000 and attacked a city with only a few thousand defenders, but was defeated? And surrendered?
What a ridiculous joke!
Xu Chu said: "Just now, the scouts sent a battle report saying that Sun Quan personally came to the battlefield to supervise the battle yesterday. Zhang Liao took this opportunity to lead 800 dead soldiers to charge into the battle, killed countless enemies, and captured Sun Quan alive."
"At the same time, the court's reinforcements arrived, and all the soldiers of Sun's army surrendered."
After hearing this, Cao Cao was stunned on the spot.
He didn't even notice that the fish in his hand was dragged into the water by the fish that bit the hook.
At this time, his heart was full of shock.
Eight hundred defeated thirty thousand!
Captured Sun Quan alive in the midst of thousands of troops!
This is simply a fairy tale!
After the shock, anger followed. Cao Cao gritted his teeth and cursed: "Sun Quan, you little bastard, how can you be so useless!"
Let's not talk about whether Zhang Liao is brave or not.
But 30,000 people, that's 30,000!
It would be fine if so many troops could not capture a city, but Sun Quan himself was captured alive by the enemy on the battlefield. He was a waste, incompetent and stupid!
"Zhang Wenyuan is really a fierce general."
Xu Chu couldn't help but admire him. As a military general, he knew best how powerful Zhang Liao's achievement was. He actually captured Sun Quan with only 800 people!
"You still admire him?!"
Cao Cao was already angry, and he was even more furious after hearing this. "Go to the water and get the fishing rod back for me. If you don't get it, you won't be allowed to eat tonight!"
After saying that, he left the shore angrily.
On the way back to the camp, Cao Cao kept thinking about this matter in his heart, but the more he thought about it, the uglier his face became.
After Sun Quan was captured, no one helped him to stop the imperial court's troops. After the imperial court recovered the three counties of Xuzhou, Yuzhou and Jiangbei, he would be the next target!
The originally bright situation became worse again because of Sun Quan's defeat.
"I didn't move all the people and materials from Yanzhou and Yuzhou here. With my current strength, I can't hold Jiangdong at all."
"If we continue like this, we will just wait for death!"
"And Zixiao and the others, the road from Yuzhou back to Jiangdong has been blocked, they can't withdraw at all."
"What should I do?"
Cao Cao felt deeply anxious, and he regretted not listening to Xu You's advice to surrender, but chose to fight the court to the end because he was worried about being liquidated.
It's too late to surrender now.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh deeply, and then cast his eyes to the vast surface of the Yangtze River and to the west.
That's where Jingzhou is.
Instantly, a bold idea emerged in Cao Cao's mind-staying in Jiangdong is a dead end, but what if he goes west to seize Jingxiang?
If Jingzhou is also controlled, basically most of the south will be occupied by him, how can he not use this to fight the court?
"Liu Biao is dead, Liu Cong is just an ordinary person, not even as good as his father, and is just a puppet of the nobles in Jingzhou."
"Zixiao and the others are in Guandu, I can let them attack Jingzhou, and at the same time I will send troops from Jiangdong, how can those chickens and dogs in Jingzhou resist?"
"With two-pronged approach, Jingzhou will be taken by me!"
Cao Cao's eyes were bright.
After Liu Biao's death, Jingzhou was a bunch of rubbish in his eyes, and the huge Jingzhou was simply a piece of delicious fat meat, anyone could take a bite!
Thinking of this, Cao Cao no longer hesitated, and hurried back to the camp, intending to write a letter to Cao Ren.
Split his troops into two groups and take Jingzhou!
