Chapter 167: Finally Got Jiangling (4)

Seeing that Cao's army was not as deceitful as a fraud, Zhou Yu personally led his army to chase the city of Nanjun. Because the Jiangdong army was chasing, Cao Ren's defeated army had no time to enter the city, so he had to look northwest to go. Han Dang and Zhou Tai led the front to try his best to chase.

Seeing that the Jiangling city gate was wide open and there were no archers defending the city, Zhou Yu ordered the army to break into the city through the city gate and rob the city.

Zhou Yu sent dozens of cavalry in the guards first, but no ambush was found.

When Zhou Yu saw that there was no danger in the city, he couldn't help but whip his horse from behind and go straight into the urn.

Chen Jiao led his troops to hide on the enemy's building. Seeing Zhou Yu entering the city in person, he secretly cheered in his heart:

"The Prime Minister's wonderful strategy is like a god!"

A clapper sounded, and the bows and crossbows on both sides were fired, like a sudden rain. Zhou Yu's guards who were rushing to enter the city were all dismissed. The soldiers who had already rushed forward avoided the rain of arrows, but fell into the pit with their men and horses.

When Zhou Yu quickly pulled his horse back, he was shot by a crossbow arrow and turned over and fell off the horse. Niu Jin came out to capture Zhou Yu.

Xu Sheng and Ding Feng, who were following Zhou Yu, were anxious when they saw Zhou Yu fall off the horse. They ignored their own safety and instead of retreating, they flew off the horse, danced with swords and guns to protect themselves, sacrificed their lives to save Zhou Yu, and exit the city gate.

The Cao soldiers in the city were protruding, and the soldiers and horses in Jiangdong trampled on each other, and countless people fell into shackles and pits.

When the rear army Cheng Pu quickly conquered the army, Cao Ren and Cao Hong divided their troops back from the rear of the city, and the Jiangdong army was defeated and fled in all directions.

Fortunately, Ling Tong, who was staying in the riverside camp, saw the two armies fighting from afar, and led one army to come from the slanting corner. The enemy of Cao Ren's pursuers was defeated, and the defeated troops in Jiangdong were able to escape.

Cao Ren led the victorious troops into the city, Cheng Pu conquered the defeated troops, and retreated ten miles before setting up a camp.

Xu Sheng and Ding Feng, the two generals, tried their best to save Zhou Yu and returned to the central army tent. They called the marching doctor to pull out the arrow with iron pliers and apply the golden sore medicine to cover the sore mouth.

But Zhou Yu's sores were still painful, and he was not allowed to sleep peacefully day and night. After three consecutive days of struggle, he fell asleep.

The marching doctor looked worried and said to Cheng Pu: "General Cheng, the arrow that shot the governor was poisonous and had penetrated into the bone marrow. His medical skills were not enough and he could not cure it. He could only use some detoxification drugs to temporarily calm the poison gas. If the anger is irritating and the sores recur, his life will be worrying."

Cheng Pu was surprised to hear what the doctor said so seriously. He did not dare to act rashly when Zhou Yu was killed by the long delay. If Zhou Yu died of poison due to procrastination, he would not be able to bear it. After pondering for a while, he asked:

"Sir, do you know anyone who can cure the Governor's poisonous wound?"

The marching doctor replied: "I heard that there is a miraculous doctor Hua Tuo who is good at treating all kinds of bruises and injuries, and has no name swelling and poison! The former is General Zhou Tai, who was a savior in Xuancheng, and was robbed twelve of his body. His life was in the evening. Fortunately, he was treated by miraculous doctor Hua Tuo and was cured."

When Cheng Pu heard this, he discussed with the generals:

"The governor's poisonous wounds are hard to heal. Cao Ren brought victorious soldiers to defend the city. It is difficult to get out of his mind. It is better to send the governor back to Jiangdong for temporary treatment. After returning to the lord, he will send someone to seek the miracle doctor Hua Tuo to save him."

Therefore, Cheng Pu ordered the three armies to guard the camps and not to go out lightly. Cao Ren sent people to fight, and Cheng Pu also hangs the battle-free sign and ignores it.

Although Zhou Yu suffered from sores and had not eaten for many days, his breath was weak, but he was very clear in his heart and had his own opinions. Cheng Pu entered the account to ask.

Zhou Yu asked Cheng Pu: "Cao Ren repeatedly sent people to fight, but the Duke waited for no fight, what's the idea?"

Cheng Pu replied: "All the generals wanted to withdraw their troops and return to Jiangdong temporarily. After the governor's arrow soreness is cured, then make a reason."

After hearing this, Zhou Yu jumped up on the bed and said, "A real man should be loyal to the emperor! He died on the battlefield and returned with a horse and a corpse. Fortunately! How could he abandon the major affairs of the country for me alone?" After saying that, he immediately put on his armor and got on his horse.

Zhou Yu sat down at the horse and sentenced him to No, and all the generals of the army were shocked.

Zhou Yu then led hundreds of cavalry out of the camp. Seeing that Cao's soldiers had already formed a formation, Cao Ren immediately stood under the gate flag and whipped and cursed:

"Zhou Yuru, I'm sure I'll die. I'll never look at my soldiers!"

The scolding was still not over, Zhou Yu suddenly showed his body from the group cavalry and scolded him:

"Cao Ren is a man! Do you want to see Zhou Lang!"

When the generals of Cao's army saw it, they were all shocked. Cao Ren looked back at the generals and said:

"You can curse me!" The troops under Cao Ren cursed fiercely.

Zhou Yu was furious and asked Pan Zhang to fight. Before he could confront him, Zhou Yu suddenly screamed, and blood spurted from his mouth, falling down from his horse.

Cao Ren was overjoyed when he saw this, and his army rushed over. The generals from Jiangdong all forwarded to Cao Ren, fought in a melee, rescued Zhou Yu, and returned to the tent.

All the generals were worried and showed their feelings. Cheng Pu sent Zhou Yu to the central army's tent and asked:

"What is the governor's body?"

Zhou Yu waved his hand and asked the generals to retreat, and said to Cheng Pu quietly:

"This is my plan."

Cheng Pu was surprised in his heart and asked, "Will the plan come out?"

Zhou Yu said:

"After several days of conditioning, my sores were no longer painful. The reason why I did this was that I wanted Cao Ren to know that I was critically ill and would definitely deceive the enemy. The Duke could ask his confidant soldiers to go to Jiangling City to surrender and say that I was dead. Cao Ren must have wanted to come to rob the village. But I ambushed around to respond, and Cao Ren could capture him in one go."

Cheng Pu was overjoyed and said, "This plan is great!"

Then the sarcasm sounded at the tent, and the troops were shocked. All the rumors were rumored that the governor died of anger and arrows were ruthless. All the villages were filial.

However, Cao Ren was discussing with everyone in the city, saying that Zhou Yu was angry and the golden sore broke, causing blood to bleed in his mouth and fell under his horse, and he would die soon.

While the conversation was right, the gate guard suddenly came to report:

"There are more than a dozen soldiers coming to surrender in the Jiangdong military camp, and there are two people in the middle. They were originally surrendered soldiers captured by Jiangdong."

Cao Ren hurriedly called in and asked, and the soldier replied:

"Today, Zhou Yu was shattered in front of the formation and died when he returned to the village. Now all the generals have mourned me. We are all humiliated by Cheng Pu, so we came to surrender and reported this matter."

Cao Ren was overjoyed and immediately discussed the matter of robbing the camp, seized Zhou Yu's corpse, killed his head, and sent him to Xudu to relieve the Prime Minister's hatred!

Cao Hong still had doubts in his heart and said, "Zhou Yu is resourceful, and the arrow injury is not fatal. It may be Zhou Yu's trick to deceive his death!"

But Chen Jiao said firmly:

"General Cao's plan is very good, but in order to prevent Zhou Yu from cheating, he can wait for a day. If Zhou Yu is really dead, Jiangdong will definitely retreat slowly. It will not be too late to go to the camp again."

Because Chen Jiao was a counselor who was specially left by Cao Cao, he was deeply trusted by Cao Cao, and Cao Ren proposed the robbery. Since Chen Jiao also said that this plan was feasible, no one would object.

Chen Jiao was not talking nonsense. He was originally a prime minister. Although Cao Cao went south to advance and served as the chief of the Southern Army, he had been listening to Cao Cao's side and side.

This time, Cao Cao was defeated and retreated to Xuchang. He stayed in Jiangling under the order of Cao Cao, and he had a special mission!

The first is that when Liu Bei led his army to attack Jiangling, he took out Cao Cao's secret orders, asked Cao Ren to abandon the city and leave, handed over Jiangling City to Liu Bei, and fulfilled his promise to Ma Su and Zhang Fei.

Second, if Zhou Yu comes to attack, Chen Jiao will take out a brilliant plan in Jiangling's critical moment, pretend to abandon the city and leave, lead Zhou Yu into the city, and then shoot Zhou Yu with poisonous arrows.

Cao Cao originally thought that Sun Quan would surrender in this southern expedition, but because of Zhou Yu, Sun Quan was determined to start the war and formed an alliance with Liu Bei, which led to his great defeat in the Battle of Red Cliff, which made his years of planning go to waste.

When Cao Cao retreated, he was driven away by a horse from Jiangdong along the way, and almost lost his life several times. This was a great humiliation in his life. He hated Zhou Yu deeply, so he left Chen Jiao to implement this plan, hoping to use Cao Ren's hand to get rid of Zhou Yu.
