Lu Meng was deeply loved by Sun Quan. He was most accompanied with Gan Ning on weekdays and was very concerned about his safety. When he heard that Zhou Yu was worried about the mistakes in the camp here, he went out and said:

"Governor, Gan Xingba is a general of Jiangdong, how can he not save him?"

Zhou Yu had already made a plan in his mind, but because he had not yet confirmed the candidate for the left-behind, he spoke:

"I want to personally command 20,000 troops and go to Yiling to rescue Gan Ning; but who can I keep here to guard and serve as my post?"

Since Lu Meng stood up and spoke, he had already thought about it and replied:

"The governor can keep Ling Gongji here. I am willing to be the leader. The governor will cut off the rear. There is no need to play a triumphant song."

Zhou Yu naturally saw Lu Meng's intention, because Ling Tong and Gan Ning had a grudge against him to kill his father. Although after Sun Quan personally mediated, Ling Tong did not take the initiative to seek revenge, but if he asked him to rescue Gan Ning, he would definitely not be able to make a turn for the time being.

Zhou Yu also knew that Ling Tong was famous when he was a teenager and had the spirit of a national sage. He performed outstandingly in many battles and his ability to command troops was above Cheng Pu. He was the most suitable candidate for left-behind people, so he asked Ling Tong:

"Is it unknown whether Ling Gongji is willing to take responsibility for me for the time being?"

Ling Tong didn't just want to go to Yiling with Zhou Yu to save Gan Ning, because it would be fine if he could be rescued. If he failed to save someone, he would inevitably be criticized for "taking private revenge!" Now that he has the opportunity to avoid suspicion, he is naturally very happy and stand up and answered:

"If it takes ten days, I can take it; if it goes beyond ten days, I may not be able to overcome his responsibilities."

Zhou Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, so he left more than 10,000 troops and handed over to Ling Tong's orders to the talisman of the arrows. Early the next morning, Zhou Yu got up and rushed straight to Yiling.

Lu Meng and Cao's army had several confrontations. Knowing the power of the northern cavalry, he quietly said to Zhou Yu:

"There is a small road in the south of Yiling. It is extremely convenient to go to Jiangling. The governor can send 500 troops to cut down trees to cut off the road. If Cao's army retreats, he must walk this way; if the horse cannot move, he must abandon the horse and walk, so that his horse can be obtained." Zhou Yu sent Pan Zhang to handle it.

Zhou Yu's army was about to arrive in Yiling, and Zhou Yu asked the generals: "Who can break through the Yiling City today? Notify Gan Ning to cooperate outside the country and defeat the encirclement of Cao's army."

A man stood up and replied loudly: "Zhou Tai is willing to go!"

Zhou Tai, whose courtesy name is Youping, was from Xiacai, Jiujiang (now Fengtai, Anhui). He and Jiang Qin, the same county, once robbed the wealthy and helped the poor on the Yangtze River. Later, they joined Sun Ce's army, followed Sun Ce's left and right, crossed the river and fought with Liu Yao, and all the ways were destroyed and several of them were made in military achievements.

Later, Sun Quan liked Zhou Tai's martial arts and character very much, so he asked Sun Ce to ask Zhou Tai to follow him.

Therefore, Zhou Tai accompanied Sun Quan again and tried his best to save Sun Quan's life. He was Sun Quan's true confidant.

Although Sun Quan reused Jiang Qin after he took office, he was certainly his own ability, but it was not unrelated to Zhou Tai's recommendation!

This time, Jiang Qin acted as the vanguard officer, suffered losses, and returned with great defeat. Even Sun Quan was lost!

This time, Zhou Tai took the initiative to ask a single man to break into the siege and rescue Gan Ning in order to win a sigh of relief for Sun Quan and save some face!

Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin had a close relationship with each other, and each had their own strengths. In terms of ability to command troops, Jiang Qin was still above Zhou Tai, but his martial arts were better than Zhou Tai.

It was getting late. After getting Zhou Yu's permission, Zhou Taichuo rode his sword and horse in the dusk, rushed straight into Cao's army, and went straight to Yiling City.

Gan Ning was on the city tower and saw Zhou Tai coming, so he led his troops out of the city to greet him.

Zhou Tai said to Gan Ning: "The governor has already brought his army to his own, and agreed to cooperate inside and outside tomorrow morning to defeat the encirclement of Cao's army."

Gan Ning was overjoyed and ordered the soldiers to prepare for their food, and were ready to take action.

Cao Hong, Cao Chun and Niu Jin led troops to surround Gan Ning. When Cao Hong retreated, he had already left a secret gap in the city wall. He was preparing to attack Gan Ning tonight. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu led his troops to come. This plan was defeated without attacking, so he hurriedly sent people to Nanjun to report Cao Ren.

After discussing with Cao Chun, Cao Hong decided to divide his troops to resist the enemy. He and Cao Chun led a 10,000 army to resist Zhou Yu, and Niu Jin divided his troops to 5,000 troops and continued to siege Gan Ning.

The next morning, Zhou Yu led his troops to arrive, Cao Hong led his troops to fight, and the battle was fought. Gan Ning and Zhou Tai broke out from the city in two groups. Niu Jin could not resist, and Cao's troops were in chaos.

Cao Hong's army was attacked by the enemy on the back and forth, and could not resist it. Fortunately, Cao Chunhu and Leopard Cavalry opened the way, opened a bloody road, and broke through the encirclement.

Niu Jin's defeated soldiers fled in all directions. Zhou Yu and Gan Ning led their troops to cover up the killing. Cao Hong, Cao Chun and Niu Jin led the remaining soldiers to the small road and walked; but the road was blocked by the messy firewood and the horses could not move, so they all abandoned the horses and left. Zhou Yu got more than 500 tigers and leopards riding horses.

Zhou Yu drove his troops to chase Cao Hong to Jiangling at night, and met Cao Ren leading his troops to rescue Yiling. The two armies fought and fought in a melee, each with injuries. It was getting late, so they each withdrew their troops.

Cao Ren originally wanted to lead the army to break Zhou Yu's camp, but because the left-behind general Ling Tong had a strict defense and was anxious to succeed, he turned to Yiling, so he came late to pick him up.

Cao Ren led his troops back to the city and discussed with the generals.

Cao Hong lost Yiling and knew that he could not do anything, so he stood up and said:

"I have lost Yiling now and the situation is already critical. Why not take apart the Prime Minister's plan and look at it to solve this danger?"

After being attacked by Zhou Yu for several months, Cao Ren was exhausted both physically and mentally. He had long wanted to abandon Jiangling. Unfortunately, when Cao Cao retreated, he did not allow him to abandon the city. He also left Chen Jiao and his brilliant ideas to help defend the city!

In fact, Cao Cao wanted to leave Jiangling to Liu Bei. Only Chen Jiao knew about Jiangling. Even Cao Ren didn't know Cao Cao's intention, so he had to stick to it.

This time Jiangling was already an isolated city, so Cao Ren said to the generals: "Zi Lian's words are exactly what I want."

Then he taught Chen Jiao to dismantle books and read them. Cao Ren was very happy and ordered all the generals to teach them to make meals at the fifth day of the day. Pingming, all the soldiers and horses were abandoned. The city was filled with flags and bluffed. The troops came out in three gates.

After Zhou Yu rescued Gan Ning, the army did not stop and led the army to chase after him. He followed Cao Hong and arrived in Jiangling and held troops outside the city.

The next day, Zhou Yu received a report. Cao's army and tens of thousands of troops came out of three gates. He was confused and rushed to the general to watch.

I saw the female walls in the city with flags and no one protected them; I also saw soldiers out of the city with bounds and wraps under their waists.

Zhou Yu thought secretly:

"Cao Ren lost Yiling. Now Jiangling is an isolated city that is difficult to defend. He bluffed and must have been preparing to retreat first. Then he issued an order to distribute the two armies to the left and right wings and attack Cao's army.

If the former army wins, the entire army only cares about chasing forward and waits for the gold to retreat. Zhou Yu ordered Cheng Pu to supervise the rear army and personally lead the army to capture the city.

After Cao's army left the city, the sound of drums sounded, Cao Hong took the horse to fight, and Zhou Yu went to the door to observe, so that Han Dang would fight with Cao Hong.

After more than thirty rounds of the two, Cao Hong was defeated and left. Cao Ren took the horse to fight. Han Dang returned and Zhou Tai rode his horse to greet him. After more than ten rounds of the rounds of the rounds of the rounds of the fight, Cao Ren was also defeated and left.

Cao's army had no fighting spirit, had a disorderly formation, and was defeated. Zhou Yu led the army on both wings to attack. Cao's army was defeated, and the troops rushed to flee.
