Han Dang and Zhou Tai looked at each other, and both of them were full of fear of Zhang Bao and Guan Xing.

Zhou Tai's brother Zhou Ping died under Guan Xing's sword. Although he had no confidence in defeating Guan Xing, he was also a person who valued love and friendship. Seeing that his younger brother was killed, he was about to fight Guan Xing and avenge his younger brother.

Han Dang is over 60 years old and has crawled out of the dead several times. Now he has achieved success and fame. This time he is the chief general. Although he still has the intention of making contributions, he gradually cherishes his life and does not have the courage to fight against Zhang Bao and Guan Xing.

He did not dare to take action, but he did not dare to let Zhou Tai take risks alone. He quickly stopped Zhou Tai and advised him to put the overall situation first.

As the deputy commander, Zhou Tai was still furious, but he knew that his current martial arts could no longer do anything to Guan Xing, so he had to put the overall situation first, suppress the hatred in his heart, and follow Han Dang to retreat into the formation.

Zhou Tai's martial arts was originally one of the top people in Jiangdong, and he was a powerful general who could compete with Taishi Ci.

When Sun Ce pacified Jiangnan, Zhou Tai and his friend Jiang Qin from the same county joined Sun Ce's army and followed Sun Ce's left and right. The two supported each other, charged in battle, and made many military achievements.

Sun Quan loved his character and martial arts, so he asked Sun Ce to let Zhou Tai act as his guard.

Zhou Tai lived up to his expectations and protected Sun Quan many times during the war.

But he was seriously injured several times, and the last time he was seriously injured was difficult to cure, almost killing his life. The miraculous doctor Hua Tuo just passed by and took action to save his life, but his martial arts were no longer the same.

In the 18th year of Jian'an (213), Cao Cao led his army to attack Ruxu, and Zhou Tai led his army to resist. He made a lot of contributions.

After Cao Cao retreated, Sun Quan rewarded him about his merits. When he remembered Zhou Tai's past achievements, he appointed Zhou Tai as the General of Pinglu and stayed to govern Ruxu.

Because this time, it was not Zhou Tai's personal contribution to repel Cao Cao. Zhu Ran, Xu Sheng and others were not inferior to Zhou Tai. Their original positions were also comparable to Zhou Tai, so they naturally did not want to surrender.

If Zhou Tai had been able to defeat all the generals with his martial arts skills, but now his martial arts are only 80% of the original ones. He did not know his strategy and could not make his subordinates who had their own strengths obeyed and did not obey Zhou Tai's orders.

After hearing about this, Sun Quan was afraid of missing a major event, so he went to Ruxuwu in person to entertain the generals.

After the meal, Sun Quan personally brought the wine to Zhou Tai and asked Zhou Tai to untidy the clothes. Sun Quan pointed to Zhou Tai's scar on his body and asked Zhou Tai how the injury came about.

Zhou Tai clearly stated what kind of battle this scar was and how he was injured.

Sun Quan pulled Zhou Tai's arm and cried:

"Youping, for our brothers, you fight like a bear and a tiger on the battlefield. You never pity your body. You have been injured dozens of times and your skin is as carved. Why can't I not treat you as my close relatives and entrust you with the weight of military and horses? You are a hero of the Eastern Wu, and I will share the honor and disgrace with you."

The next day, Sun Quan gave Zhou Tai Qingluo umbrella cover.

In addition to the contributions of Xu Sheng and others, not only were Zhou Tai's confidants, but also because they were Sun Quan's confidants, they believed that their martial arts skills were not inferior to Zhou Tai, so they had the confidence to play against Zhou Tai.

After hearing Sun Quan's words, he knew that Zhou Tai's position in Sun Quan's heart was still above them, so he obeyed Zhou Tai.

This time, Zhang Zhao deployed troops and used the seniority method to arrange his troops. The oldest Han Dang and Zhou Tai acted as the main generals, with a position above Xu Sheng and others, and no one was dissatisfied with it.

But after Han Dang and Zhou Tai took action, they saw that the two generals were killed by Zhang Bao and Guan Xing but did not dare to fight, which affected every soldier and the army had no desire to fight.

When Liu Bei saw Zhang Bao, Guan Xing killed his generals and made contributions, he was happy and sighed:

"A tiger father has no dog son!"

Liu Bei has experienced many battles and his martial arts skills are also superior.

Seeing that although the Jiangdong Army had a neat formation, its morale was sluggish and the army had no fighting spirit, it was a good opportunity to rush to the formation, so he used a whip to cover up the eight elite troops under his command, and they all covered them and killed them.

Han Dang and Zhou Tai retreated to the formation. Before they could come to their senses, they were surrounded by soldiers who retreated like a tide and retreated together.

Liu Bei's troops divided into eight groups and chased Han Dangzhou Tai. His power surged like a spring. The Jiangdong army's corpses were everywhere and blood flowed into a river.

Because of dysentery, Gan Ning did not follow Han Dangzhou Tai to take the opportunity to recuperate in the camp.

When he heard that Liu Bei's army had arrived, Gan Ning barely put on his horse and prepared to fight. He was about to meet a barbarian soldier. All of them were slapped, and they all used bows, crossbows, spears, and swords and axes, which were invincible.

The leader is the Barbarian King Shamoke.

He had a face like blood and his blue eyes protruded, making a trough bone with two bows on his waist, making him look majestic.

Gan Ning had diarrhea more than ten times today, and was exhausted all over and dared not fight, so he walked away with his horse.

Gan Ning was very famous in Jingzhou, and Shamoke Su knew his reputation.

Although Gan Ning retreated, Shamoke did not dare to press on, but he did not want to miss the opportunity to make meritorious service. He shot Gan Ning's head with an arrow.

Gan Ning was caught in an arrow and had a split headache. He didn't want to fall into Shamoko's hand and rode his horse with an arrow.

Shamoko's arm strength was extremely strong, and this shot hit Gan Ning but did not fall, so he dared not chase after him again.

Gan Ning was able to escape and barely controlled the horse to Yufuchikou, and could no longer support him.

Gan Ning turned over and got off the horse and sat under a big tree to rest, but his head was seriously injured and immediately fell into a coma and could never stand up again.

After Gan Ning died, he was discovered by a hunter and reported to the Jiangdong Army.

There were hundreds of crows on the tree, surrounding the guardian of Ganning, and the corpse was not damaged by wild animals.

When Sun Quan heard about this, he was deeply saddened, and he was given a tribute and buried a grand ceremony, and set up a temple to sacrifice.

Liu Bei's army took advantage of the situation to chase and chased him all the way to the 杨线竞, and followed the situation to attack.

Han Dang and Zhou Tai were defeated and retreated out of control.

Fortunately, Zhu Ran and Sun Heng sent troops to support each other, so they safely retreated back to Jiangling and conquered the defeated troops.

In this great victory, Liu Bei's army killed the Jiangdong army and their power was shattered.

Han Dang and Zhou Tai gathered the defeated troops, broke most of the troops and horses, and could not stand behind the pass, so he hurriedly reported to Sun Quan for help.

When Sun Quan received the report, he was shocked to learn that Han Dang and Zhou Tai had only been reduced by half of the 100,000 troops.

Sun Quan was timid and had the intention of seeking peace. He gathered a group of civil and military officials to discuss.

Sun Quan asked all the ministers about their plans to withdraw their troops, and Bu Zhi said:

"What Liu Bei hated was the one who killed Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. The one who killed Guan Yu was Lu Meng, who had already died of illness. Fan Jiang and Zhang Da, who killed Zhang Fei, had also been under house arrest by the lord. Why not capture these two people, and Zhang Fei's head, send envoys to return to Liu Bei, first express sincerity for peace, then submit a peace, and then negotiate slowly. Together, jointly destroy Wei, then Liu Bei will inevitably withdraw his troops."

Sun Quan knew that Liu Bei must have come here for Jingzhou, and it would definitely not be so easy to withdraw his troops.

However, sending envoys to seek peace is also a feasible strategy. Even if the peace fails, it can delay Liu Bei's attack.

Sun Quan felt it was hot to Fan Jiang and Zhang Da came to the table.

He followed Bu Zhi's advice and put a wooden box of agarwood, stored Zhang Fei's head, tied Fan Jiang, Zhang Da, and imprisoned him in a chariot. He ordered Cheng Bing to bring the letter of the country and look at the pavilion.
