Killing system of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 63

Cheng Pu was taken aback, the back road was cut off?Who came around behind him?But Cheng Pu still had a little doubt, the voice just now sounded familiar!
Cheng Pu thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes widened. It was Zhang Yi!It turned out to be Zhang Yi!
Cheng Pu never thought that it would be Zhang Yi who attacked Linhu.He always thought it was Li Shu!

Why didn't he doubt Zhang Yi?In fact, it has something to do with Zhang Yi just stabilizing Shouchun, and the battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

Zhang Yi is Cao Cao's subordinate, and Cao Cao doesn't know how to fight on two fronts at all. One Yuan Shao is enough for him to deal with.It was precisely because of such a wrong perception that Cheng Pu never thought that Zhang Yi would attack Linhu.

Cheng Pu didn't expect Zhang Yi to attack Linhu, and Fan Lihua didn't expect Zhang Yi to cut off Cheng Pu's retreat.

Why did Zhang Yi appear here?It's actually very simple, he asked Fan Lihua to ambush Cheng Pu, so naturally he wouldn't leave her alone.Swords have no eyes on the battlefield. Although Fan Lihua is very skilled in martial arts, can she surpass a peerless murderer like Dian Wei?
Dian Wei was killed in the rebellion. What if Fan Lihua had three advantages and two disadvantages?She is not just a general, she is also a woman.

As the leader of a party, Zhang Yi has his own ambitions. He likes the country and the beauty. If such a beauty dies on the battlefield, he will never forgive himself. What a waste!Such a beauty should stay in bed.

So after Fan Lihua left, Zhang Yi let Shi Xiu guard the city, and notified Li Hongzhang to sail the boat into the Yangtze River.

He and Wei Wentong took 1000 people from the east gate and took a long detour to the outside of Xiang'an City.At that time, Cheng Pu had just led his troops to leave Xiang'an, and Zhang Yi did not show up, but fell two miles behind Cheng Pu.

The battle between Cheng Pu and Fan Lihua over there was watched by Zhang Yi. When he saw Cheng Pu retreating, he immediately led people to find a suitable place to set up a battle formation and blocked Cheng Pu.

Cheng Pu's retreat was cut off, he burst into anger, and shouted at Zhang Yi: "Zhang Yi, why did you violate my border for no reason?"

Zhang Yi laughed loudly: "Cheng Pu! Cheng Pu! When Sun Ce led people to attack Hefei, I persuaded him. But he didn't listen to good advice and insisted on fighting against me. When he was here, I didn't have the strength to retaliate. Now He is dead, of course I want revenge!"

"What? The lord is dead?"

The soldiers of Cheng Pu's army did not know that Sun Ce was dead. Cheng Pu did not tell them in order to stabilize the morale of the army.As a result, it’s broken now!The bravery of a general can often determine the fighting spirit of soldiers.The reason why the Sun family is invincible is because of the bravery of Sun Jian and Sun Ce.

Now, the death of Sun Ce, who is known as the little overlord, is really a big blow to these soldiers.Many of them have quietly put down their spearheads, and their fighting spirit has obviously weakened.

"Don't listen to his nonsense!" Cheng Pu shouted loudly.

"So you haven't told them about Sun Ce's murder!" Zhang Yi became even more proud, and shouted to Cheng Pujun, "Your lord, Sun Ce! He was shot and killed by Xu Gong's disciples!"

Hearing Zhang Yi's words, many soldiers of Cheng Pu's army subconsciously believed it.

At this time, a general walked by Cheng Pu and said to Cheng Pu: "General, the soldiers are not motivated to fight now, and we can't return to Xiang'an, so it's better to retreat."

Cheng Pu hesitated for a while, and immediately ordered decisively: "The whole army retreats! Ling Cao, you go ahead and collect boats from the river, and take us across the river."

"As ordered!"

Ling Cao rushed to the north bank of the Yangtze River first. When he arrived, it was already dawn.Ling Cao ignored his fatigue and immediately ordered his soldiers to find a boat.

An hour later, Cheng Pu arrived with his troops.There was a shortage of boats, and more than 700 people entered, and a small number of them could not cross the river.

At this time, Zhang Yi led his troops to chase after him, but Cheng Pu had no choice but to let the boat leave the shore.Seeing Cheng Pu fleeing, Zhang Yi ignored him and surrounded the remaining soldiers.

"Listen, now that Sun Ce is dead, the Sun family has fallen apart. Li Shu has occupied Lujiang, and Sun Hao has occupied Kuaiji. The Sun family is in power, so you'd better surrender obediently."

Among those who were surrounded, there were also many Sun family loyalists.They probably also felt that there was no hope of escape, so they pulled out their ring swords and killed themselves. The rest of them put down their weapons and surrendered.

Zhang Yi asked Wei Wentong to gather the prisoners, and ordered those who committed suicide to be buried generously.For loyal people, Zhang Yi still respects them very much, so Zhang Yi gives them the greatest respect he can give.

Fan Lihua came over, looked at Zhang Yi strangely and asked, "Master, how did you appear behind Cheng Pu?"

Zhang Yi smiled, "Do you think I'm really relieved to let you ambush alone?"

Fan Lihua blushed, and asked with a bit of blame: "My lord, do you look down on me?"

"I didn't!" Zhang Yi said, "I'm just prepared!"

Then the voice changed: "Cheng Pu escaped across the river, there will not be too many soldiers left in Xiang'an, you should prepare quickly, we will rest until noon, and then send troops to Xiang'an city."

"Obey!" Fan Lihua left helplessly.

Come off the boat yesterday and fight all night, all are tired.If Zhang Yi hadn't paid great attention to training his physical strength during training, maybe these people would have been lying down.

Fan Lihua's men were all trained by herself, which was much worse than the soldiers trained by Zhang Yi.

Such a tired army may not be able to attack the city directly.But Zhang Yi still decided to rush to Xiang'an City in the afternoon.

Outside the city, Zhang Yi sent a captive into the city with Zhang Yi's persuasion letter. After reading the letter, the guard inside wanted to kill the messenger and then defend the city.

The messenger slumped down on the ground in fright, and said hastily, "Wait a minute, general, I still have something to say."

"What?"

"General, I actually don't want to surrender either. But Sun Ce was killed by an arrow, and we lost all morale. Also, General Dong Xi, who was guarding Linhu, was also killed. If the general resists stubbornly, I'm afraid it won't be much better!"

"What did you say?" The guard was surprised, he knew about Sun Ce's death.But he didn't know that Dong Xi was killed in battle!

If Sun Ce's death was an accident, then Dong Xi's death would have shaken him.Dong Xi is a Jiangdong general. Although his bravery is not comparable to Sun Ce, it is definitely not comparable to ordinary people.

"General Cheng Pu was also defeated and retreated to the south of the river. In the north of the river, except for the rebel Li Shu, there are only Zhang Taishou's troops."

Cheng Pu also lost?Only then did the guard realize the seriousness of the matter. He looked at the messenger with a cloudy face, not knowing what he was thinking.

"General, Zhang Taishou promised that if the general surrenders, he will serve as Shouchun county lieutenant instead of fighting Jiangdong."

This sentence was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, completely breaking the defense of the guard.With the guarantee of the future, and without having to face the client, of course it will be surrendered!
