Gao Ling continued, "I heard that Sun Ce was assassinated in the mountains back then. The gangsters were only three hunters. Sun Ce shot first and got an arrow. It's really hard to believe."

"Gao Ling, I know that General Lan is excellent in martial arts, but there is no need to belittle General Bofu, right? Your martial arts are only mediocre, so why should you be proud of others?" Ding Feng slowly became calm.

"If it weren't for the major general who cherishes his talents, you would have been decapitated long ago. Although my martial arts skills are not high, did you get a bargain in the morning? This general is just telling you one thing. The major general is not wronged at all." Gao Ling shook his head lightly and walked away.

"Where is Yuanfeng going?" Lan Yuan raised his head and shouted.

"I'll go to the medical camp and ask them to prepare medicinal materials in advance." Gao Ling waved his hand without looking back.

Ding Feng forgot that he was a prisoner, and his hands were tied behind his back. Looking at Gao Ling's back, he slowly leaned towards Lan Yuan, and asked in a low voice, "Where did Gao Ling come from? He was so impeccable in his words and deeds. "

Lan Yuan smiled and replied: "The first general in the camp, Gao Shun is his father."

"Ah?" Ding Feng was surprised first, and then said with a wry smile: "It turns out that he is also a famous general, no wonder, no wonder, how can I stand out when I come from a humble background..."

Taking advantage of Ding Feng's loss, Lan Yuan untied the rope behind him. Ding Feng rubbed the imprint on his wrist, and suddenly subconsciously realized that something was wrong. Isn't he a prisoner?

"You let me go? Are you not afraid of a sneak attack at such a short distance?" Ding Feng exclaimed.

Lan Yuan shook his head lightly: "Haha, General Ding is not a shameless villain, and besides, there are soldiers all around you, so you probably don't have much chance..."

"Every man is angry, blood splatters five steps, the general is too confident, and he can't be trusted in the future..." In the second half of Ding Feng's words, he actually started to remind Lanyuan that he didn't want such an excellent young general to meet Sun Ce in the future. Case.

Lan Yuan held Ding Feng's hand, and comforted him with earnest eyes: "I think General Ding seems to be unsuccessful. It is precisely because of his humble background that he should not belittle himself. My father used to work in Xiaopei. He can achieve what he is today. Mainly perseverance.”

"Mr. Xuan Xiao's experience is legendary, how can we, the humble ones, dare to compare with it..." Ding Feng lowered his head.

Lan Yuan Zhengse said: "Although people have different experiences, their inner spirit can be used for reference. General Ding has great ambitions to make contributions, why should he guard Yangzhou with Sun Quan, why not serve the King of Hanzhong with me? Now that the king has won Guanzhong, Soon the sword will point to the Central Plains, wouldn’t it be great for everyone to be good ministers of the Great Han Dynasty together?”

Ding Feng remembered that Lanyuan was Liu Bei's son-in-law, and his father Lantian was an important minister guarding one side. If he could climb the big tree of the two fathers and sons, why would he not be able to make contributions in the future?It's just that he was worried about being scolded as a villain, so he hesitated for a while.

"It's a villain to betray the Lord, please forgive me..."

Before Ding Feng finished speaking, Lan Yuan interrupted him, "Sun Quan is not a man of integrity, do you think how many times Jiang Dong has betrayed the alliance? This time you are the first to do it, right?"

"Uh... the king's decision, the general can't control..." Ding Feng blushed and bowed his head.

Lan Yuan patted Ding Feng on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "To be honest, my father had expected this day long ago, so he was fully prepared. Today's war is just a prelude. My father will destroy Wu this time. .”

"Destroy Wu?" Ding Feng's eyes widened, and his mind suddenly went blank.

Not far away, when Chu Qing saw the appearance of the two close friends, he couldn't help showing a knowing smile, and said in his heart that the major general and Gao Ling sang together, and Ding Feng was probably going to surrender.

Chapter 835 Chengyuan's return and false victory

"Is it just a joke, the general? According to Jiangdong, King Wu has lived for three generations. Cao Cao and Cao Pi have gone south several times, but they all ended in failure. Even if Mr. Xuan Xiao can mobilize troops from Jiaozhou and Jingnan, how easy is it to destroy them?" Ding Feng looked disbelieving.

Lan Yuan's expression was relaxed: "My father doesn't make a move easily, and if he makes a move, he will never be defeated. He has already prepared very well, and now the timing is just right."

"The timing is right? Do you mean that Jiaozhou has no worries? Jiangdong has now reached a settlement with Wei, and King Wu has no worries. Besides, the war between Jingbei and Guanzhong is not peaceful. You should continue to support General Guan. Mr. Xuanxiao is not afraid of accidents." Is it? Although our army was defeated, Chaisang's garrison is sufficient, and your trapped army may not be able to fight in..." Ding Feng did not continue.

"The battle between Guanzhong and Jingbei is decided by someone. We just need to take care of our own affairs. If Cheng Yuan (Ding Feng) can turn his back on the dark side and turn to the bright side, how about I take you into Jiangdong? It will also make those who despise you regret it." After Lan Yuan finished speaking, he clasped his fists and saluted Ding Feng, showing a lot of sincerity in persuading him to surrender.

"I..." Ding Feng still hesitated.

Seeing this, Lan Yuan continued to reason: "When a man is alive, he should be loyal to the emperor and patriotic. Who was not a Han citizen in our ancestors? Hanzhong Wang Renyi wrote in the four seas, and helped the Han Dynasty mansion to collapse. North, like a bright light in the dark night, re-illuminated the Emperor Yan Han, and Sun Quan's ancestors also ate Han Lu. He betrayed his ancestors when he became the king of Wei and Wu, but he may not surrender to Cao Pi, so what is the separatism of Jiangdong now? What do you think of the world? Is there any part of the Sun family?"

"Well... But Jiangdong was settled by the Sun family after all. If the Sun family hadn't been in Jiangdong for these years, I'm afraid that with the despicable nature of the local gentry, they would have bowed their knees and given the land to Cao Cao. The King of Hanzhong might not have achieved what he is today... ..." Ding Feng continued to quibble.

"But Jiangdong is not the Jiangdong of the Sun family. Jiangdong is the Jiangdong of the Han court. It was snatched by Sun Ce from Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou. Liu Yao is the clan of the Han family. How is the Sun family's approach different from Dong Zhuo? The Sun family is conquering Jiangdong. During the process, how many innocent people were stained with blood? That’s why Sun Ce was assassinated while hunting, and the Jiangdong gentry resisted the Huaisi people. The Sun family betrayed the big man from the very beginning...”

Ding Feng kept his mouth shut when Lan Yuan said this, so he lightly patted the other person on the shoulder, and continued to persuade: "In the era of Sun Ce, there were many separatists, and Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan, Cao Cao, Zhang Lu, Ma Teng and other forces were too many. People will talk about the problems of the Sun family. Now there are only three families left in the world, Sun Cao and Liu. Sun Quan is neither loyal to the Han nor will he return to Wei. General Ding might as well think about it carefully. Is there any light in your loyalty to this person? Is it the future?"

Lan Yuan explained a lot of truths, seeing Ding Feng contemplating, he stopped talking and left time for the other party to slowly digest.

Ding Feng stood there thinking for a long time, then suddenly knelt down on one knee in front of Lan Yuan, clasped his fists and said clangingly, "Ding Feng lived in vain. He just woke up like a dream after hearing the general's words. I am willing to follow the general. Going through fire and water will not hesitate to go through fire and water."

Lan Yuan helped Ding Feng up with both hands, with a joyful smile on his face, "General Ding please get up quickly, the King of Hanzhong will recover the rivers and mountains sooner or later, it is not a bad thing to join early, and the two of us hit it off very well. The general is 28 this year, and I am [-] this year." Eight, haha."

"General Blue is a young hero with superb martial arts skills, and he also leads a powerful army of tigers and wolves. I can't even compare him..." Ding Feng was full of shame.

Lan Yuan held Ding in his hand, and said without hesitation: "With General Ding's help, we will soon be able to break through Jiangdong. Now follow me into the city, arrange for a doctor to heal your wounds, and have a drink at night."

"Ah... the last general just came down..." Seeing Lan Yuan's enthusiasm, Ding Feng was at a loss when he looked around.

"There's nothing to surrender, now they are all our own people, so it's more refreshing..." Lan Yuan couldn't help but said, pulling Ding Feng forward.

Ding Feng felt a little strange at this time. He had been with Chen Wu, Pan Zhang, Lu Xun, and Lu Dai, and no one had ever been so enthusiastic about him. Doesn't Lan Yuan hold the mighty army of the fallen army, so he has no airs?No matter which part of the army in Jiangdong, the situation of seniority is particularly serious. Is this the crux of the problem?

When the two returned to the city, night had completely fallen.

Zhenyang City did not form an orderly and chaotic scene because of accepting nearly ten thousand captives. Ding Feng entered the city under the rule of the "enemy country" for the first time, and he was amazed by the scene before him.

Lan Yuan used to be the Sima of the Medical Battalion, and he founded the Medical Battalion, so after Lan Yuan was promoted to be the commander of the fallen army, the Medical Battalion became his direct descendant. The army has already practiced more sophisticated methods.

Ding Feng's injury was due to qi and blood stasis, and was soothed by young medical soldiers, and then bandaged and fixed with herbal medicine, which quickly relieved his pain. When he knew that there was a doctor in the camp in Lanyuan, he was so surprised that he said no for a long time Speak up.

The celebration banquet and shocking wine were put down together, and Lan Yuan took the opportunity to raise his glass to introduce Ding Feng to the generals of the battalion very grandly, and everyone gave affirmative glances.

Ding Feng saw that most of the generals were very young, and he secretly praised Liu Bei's tent for being full of talents, but Jiangdong is now out of reach.

Lan Yuan took over the fallen army and established a new rule, drinking in moderation but not getting drunk, so even at such a celebration banquet, the soldiers kept a restrained attitude and toasted.

After drinking for three rounds, the soldiers in the tent were still very sober. Lan Yuan turned his head and asked Ding Feng in a low voice: "Before the banquet, Yuanfeng (Gao Ling) took you to collect some prisoners. Is there any Chengyuan (Ding Feng) you can trust?" people?"

"There are a few personal guards of the last general, and they are all trustworthy people." Ding Feng replied with a nod.

"Very good." After Lan Yuan finished speaking, he instructed Gao Ling: "Today we broke Dai Liang's route, tomorrow you choose two prudent people, and go to Luling and Yuzhang with Cheng Yuan's personal guards to report victory."

"Okay, I'll pick someone later." Gao Ling nodded slightly.

Ding Feng asked in surprise: "Report victory? What does the general mean?"

"I told you before, this time my father is going to seek Jiangdong, Dai Lianglian conquers Qujiang, Zhenyang, and Puguan. If Lu Fan finds out about this news, do you think he will take it lightly?" Lan Yuanwei slightly smile.

"Then you, General..." Ding Feng hesitated to speak.

"Naturally, take advantage of the unpreparedness to capture Luling, and then approach Yuzhang and Chaisang." Lan Yuan said that he didn't care about taking a sip of wine.

Ding Feng put the wine glass on the table, got up to dissuade him, and said: "No, general. This time we were ordered to attack Guangzhou. There are actually two groups of troops from Luling. Except for General Dai and the last general, Lu Dai and He Qi led the way. [-] soldiers have detoured to Longchuan, you should return to Guangzhou to deploy your defenses."

"Haha, with my father guarding Guangzhou, what's the point of mere Lu Dai and He Qi? Maybe they won't be able to reach the city of Guangzhou." Gao Ling covered his mouth with a disdainful tone.

Chapter 836 Each performs his duties and takes Luling

"General Gao wants to say that the Yue people in Longchuan and the Wuxi barbarians are tough? But He Qi has fought against the Yue people for many years, and he is quite famous in the entire Jiangdong, so he may not be able to stop it..." Ding Feng frowned.

Lan Yuan smiled and said, "Chengyuan doesn't have to worry, my father has already made arrangements, we just need to attack Luling."

"Could it be that Mr. Xuanxiao gave Sha Moke to...but the intelligence said that he has been staying in Longbian for a long time, and he may go south to Ninan County to train elephants?" Ding Feng suddenly had a bold guess.

"The information that Jiang Dong can get is what Mr. released on purpose." Gao Ling smiled mysteriously.

Ding Feng swallowed his saliva, "Then Mr. Xuanxiao went to Changsha..."

"My father presided over the battle to destroy Wu in Changsha. The news here will spread to Linxiang soon. He has always taken everything into consideration when commanding battles. You will understand after a while." After finishing speaking, Lan Yuan asked Gao Ling, " What happened to Wang Jin?"

Gao Ling nodded and replied: "Go north according to your request. You should stay in Qujiang tonight and enter the border of Luling tomorrow."

"The bandits are really yours? Since the general wants to send people to report the victory, won't they be exposed when they enter Luling?" Although Ding Feng has already guessed, he still hopes to get Lan Yuan's affirmation.

Lan Yuan smiled and explained: "Wang Jin was originally a bandit, and later he led his troops to surrender to Jiaozhou. After a period of training, he often scouted information on the border. Now I send them to go ahead to harass Lu Dai's grain road. The target is Lu Fan of Chaisang, and Luling has already got it?"

"Have you got it? When?" Ding Feng was at a loss.

Lan Yuan replied: "All the soldiers and horses from Luling have been sent out, Cheng Yuan led his troops back to rest, how can there be any doubts about the remaining defenders? Tomorrow, the prisoners will be selected and reorganized, and the day after tomorrow you will command the Jiangdong soldiers as the front."

"Back to Luling is the boundary of Jiangdong, isn't the general afraid that Ding Feng will turn against him?"

"You don't have to use people if you are suspicious. If Cheng Yuan learns from Sun Quan and repeats the villain, it will be a big deal for the army to fight again. I believe that the sons and daughters have such strength."

Lan Yuan showed full confidence, and Ding Feng also admitted the strength of the trapped army, then smiled and stopped talking, he was already thinking about how to face Lu Dai and He Qi.

Ding Feng's loyalty is trustworthy, but not all the captives belonged to him, so Lan Yuan didn't blindly ask Ding Feng to reorganize, he kept his mind in advance.

The next day, the prisoners were selected to reorganize the system. Lan Yuan selected hundreds of military officers from the siege army, and temporarily filled them into the Jiangdong captive army, forming a 3000-man captive army under the command of Ding Feng.

Ding Feng not only didn't get angry when he found out, but secretly praised Lan Yuan's clever tactics.

A few days later, with the help of Ding Feng, Lanyuan easily captured the three counties of Nanye, Ganxian, and Yudu in the south of Luling, and moved back the four thousand captured civilians, becoming civilian men who transported supplies for the fallen army. He is grateful for his new life, and is happy to obey Lan Yuan's transfer.

Because Lu Dai's journey was difficult, he carried as little military food as possible, and there were only a few thousand conscripts accompanying him. They planned to go to Jiaozhou to support the war. Therefore, Wang Jin, who entered Luling first, had no food road to attack. , can only entrenched in the other party's only way to inquire about news.

In mid-July, under Ding Fengce's response, Lanyuan went northward to capture Xichang County, the seat of Luling, and then stopped.

Ding Feng asked curiously: "The garrisons in the counties of Luling have been evacuated. Why don't the generals go all out? The counties of Shiyang, Xingping, and Jiyang in the north are within easy reach."

Lan Yuan shook his head and replied: "The army in the formation is the key to defeating the enemy. We can't expose it to Lu Fan so quickly. The counties in the north are already very close to Yuzhang. We still wait for father's military order. We can use this opportunity to deal with Lu Dai and He Qi later."

"Sun Quan has gathered [-] soldiers this time. Even if the general breaks through Luling's [-], Lu Fan still has [-] in his hands. I don't know how your father will break the situation..." Ding Feng frowned.

"Father's actions are unpredictable, so let's just do our own thing." Lan Yuan shook his head, and then added: "By the way, send someone to report the victory to Lu Fan, saying that General Dai has captured Guangzhou, and ask for instructions on how to deal with the situation in the city." captive."

Ding Feng asked puzzledly: "What does this mean..."

"It's the latest order from my father, maybe I want to let Lu Fan take it lightly, Cheng Yuan will follow suit." Lan Yuan was noncommittal.

Ding Feng scratched his head and smiled wryly: "The general will make arrangements immediately. If you fight against your father, I don't know how much hair you'll lose. If you don't have some strategy, you won't be able to accept the move. I'm afraid those people under Lu Fan's command..."

"It's good that we each perform our duties, and father is not the only one who deserves the credit." Lan Yuan explained softly.

"Wei." Ding Feng clasped his fists and nodded.

Two days later, Lu Fan received the "Guangzhou Victory News" and was so happy that he almost jumped up on the spot. He repeatedly told the messengers sent by Ding Feng not to harm Lantian's family members. After a while, he ordered Dai Liang to stabilize the situation in Guangzhou and wait for the opportunity to seize Cangwu, Yulin and other counties, but he must not go to Jiaozhi to provoke Shamoke.

Lu Fan wrote a letter to Sun Quan to report the victory, and at the same time summoned the generals of Chaisang to prepare for a general attack.

All the generals in the tent heard the news, they stood together like a pack of wolves, their greedy eyes shining with golden light.

"The lair in Lantian has been occupied by General Dai, and I can't just sit back and watch others make meritorious deeds. Now that the follow-up troops have all arrived, it's time for the whole army to go to Changsha." mean.

"General Ziheng, soon after Yifeng (Zhu Ran)'s troops left Ai County, they encountered resistance from the enemy general Wu Ban. Doesn't that mean that Lantian is prepared in Changsha, should we be more cautious?"

The right governor Lu Dai was not in front of him, and the left governor Zhang Cheng, as Lu Fan's deputy, stood up in time to remind the general.

Lu Fan glanced at Zhang Cheng and nodded lightly, thinking that you are indeed Zhang Zhao's son, so I should be cautious with such a big advantage?Watching Lu Dai take all the credit?

"Gongda (Sun Lin), tell Zhong Si (Zhang Cheng) about Wu Ban." Lu Fan signaled Sun Lin to come out and explain.

Sun Lin nodded slightly, then clasped his fists and said to Zhang Cheng: "Ban Wu was active in Jingnan last year. His mission was to recruit soldiers for Guan Yu in Jingbei. General Zhu must have met by chance, and the thousands of enemy soldiers The combat power of the army is ordinary, far less terrifying than the army of the army, Zhang Zuodu, you are thinking too much..."

"Uh... what a coincidence..." Zhang Cheng frowned.

Lu Fan said lightly: "Yifeng's entry into Changsha from Ai County was originally my strategy of suspicion. If Lantian is really prepared in Changsha, he can also attract his attention, and our Jiangdong main force has to take the Yixing road. Ai The road in the county is really narrow and difficult to walk, and it is not conducive to the logistics and supply transportation of the army."

"Lantian has always been very intelligent..."

Zhang Cheng wanted to persuade, but was blocked by Lu Fan, "Zhongsi (Zhang Cheng) and Wen Xiang (Xu Sheng) guard Chaisang, Wuchang Ganning is the biggest threat, Gongda (Sun Neighbor) you stay behind Yuzhang, guarantee the follow-up food and grass transportation for the frontline army, and the rest of the generals will immediately send troops to follow me on the expedition."

"Wei." The generals in the tent responded in unison.

In the northeast of Changsha, in the south of Jiangxia, and in the northwest of Yuzhang, there are many high mountains in the vast area. There is a Xiushui in the mountains that runs east-west, with Yongxiu County in the east and Ai County in the west. This is the marching route of Zhuran North Road.

The river next to Yichun connects the Ganshui River and the Yangtze River, with suitable water transportation and a wide marching route, so Lu Fan finally chose Zhu Ran to attack the North Road, and led the main force to take the South Line.

Lu Fan is not the only smart person in the world. His intentions were deduced by Lan Tian early on. After sending Lan Yuan a new order, Lan Tian has been waiting for Lu Fan's movement, but unexpectedly Lai Gong came.

Chapter 837 Fifteen Moons and Sixteen Circles

Lai Gong was overjoyed to see Lan Tian, ​​he smiled and saluted with fists in his hands, "Fortunately I was hungry and went ashore to look for food, otherwise I would have missed my husband, and I might have gone to Guangzhou."

When Liu Bei sent troops to take Guanzhong, all civil servants who were not in charge of troops stayed in Chengdu, so Lan Tian was very surprised to see Lai Gong. He thought a lot at the moment of meeting, and suddenly remembered the Nanman rebellion this year.

In history, the death of Liu Bei in Baidi City triggered the Nanban rebellion. Now Liu Bei is not only alive and well, but also returned to Guanzhong, so I don't understand why Lai Gong came to him.

"Is something important happening in Chengdu?" Lan Tian saw that Lai Gong was full of joy, as if something bad happened.

"Chengdu? Nothing happened in Chengdu. I came from Chang'an." Lai Gong stroked his beard and smiled.

Lan Tian looked at the other party suspiciously, frowned and asked, "When did you go to Chang'an? Detour to Hanzhong from Baoxie, and then come to Jiaozhou by boat to find me? Deshun has gone so tortuously, what's the matter?"

Lai Gong was a little surprised: "Sir, you don't even know? In June, when there was heavy rain around Luoyang, General Guan and Cao Xiu stopped fighting and rested. Your Majesty transferred General Yide from Tianshui back to Chang'an, and raided Shangluo, Shang County and Wuguan.

When the rain stopped at the beginning of July, General Zhang and General Guan attacked again and again, driving Wei Jun out of Nanxiang County. Now that Guanzhong and Jingzhou have been connected, I went south from Wuguan this time. "

After hearing this, Lan Tian suddenly realized that the Jingzhou army was resting in June, and Song Chen should focus on Soochow, so he didn't pay attention to the major events in Nanxiang.

Shangluo, Shangxian, and Wuguan are in the Qinling Mountains. They are the only passages directly from Guanzhong to Jingzhou. The surrounding terrain is difficult and it is very difficult to march and transport food.

After Liu Bei occupied Chang'an, his troops were limited. He needed heavy troops to prevent Cao Zhen from going south, and to block Zhu Ling's westward advance from Tongguan. Therefore, there was no extra troops to capture Wuguan. Lan Tian appreciated this troop transfer very much.

"Who offered this clever plan?"
