Chapter five hundred and sixty-first

During the Three Kingdoms period, there were few entertainment activities at night. There were threats from Zhang Fei and Fazheng outside Jiangxia, and a curfew was implemented in the city at night. All the people and officials went to bed early after dark.

At that time, I was just dreaming, and the shouts from the east of Jiangxia City were loud, attracting most of the attention of the guards in the city.

Almost at the same time, Zhang Da took advantage of the interval between shifts and led his men to kill the defenders and seize the gate. Then he opened the west gate of Jiangxia and flew into the city to welcome the enemy.

Sun Quan, who was sleeping, was awakened by the sound of knocking on the door again.

"You bastard, who is so rude?" Sun Quan got angry.

Just now, he was dreaming that he had captured Jingzhou, and the defeated and bound Guan Yu was kneeling in front of him. He could seize life and death in a matter of seconds. Zhang Zhao was advising him to proclaim himself king. After all, Cao Cao and Liu Bei had already become kings, creating a three-legged structure.

He couldn't fall behind. Just when Sun Quan was about to give the order to kill Guan Yu, there was a sudden roar of gongs and drums outside the door, and then he woke up.

"Lord, please change your clothes quickly. The bandits have invaded Jiangxia and the city is now in chaos." Hu Zong kicked open the door regardless of etiquette, and then walked quickly to Sun Quan's couch.

Sun Quan's expression changed very quickly. He asked in surprise: "The city of Jiangxia is extremely strong. Zhang Fei and Fazheng flew in? What does Quan Cong do for food?"

"First, Pang De made a noise at the east gate. Before all the generals were on their way, the west gate was suddenly opened by the insider. It's too late to explain now. Let's talk as we walk."

Hu Zong grabbed Sun Quan's hand and pulled him up. He took some clothes from the hanger and put them on Sun Quan randomly.

The two of them walked out of Sun Quan's small courtyard in panic, and found that there were fires everywhere in the streets of the city, and the frightened soldiers and people were running around in chaos. Jiangdong's accompanying civil and military personnel gathered at once.

Sun Quan forced himself to calm down. He had experienced this situation a lot when he was young. Everyone was eagerly waiting for Sun Quan to make a decision. At this time, Quan Cong rode his horse to knock through the crowd and hurriedly ran in front of them.

"My lord, the west gate of Jiangxia City has been captured by Zhang Fei. Jingzhou soldiers and horses are now filing in. General Xu Xiang and his Jiefan guards are desperately resisting. However, the strength of the two sides is not much different. Without the city as a barrier, they may not be able to hold it. Please lord.

Quickly return to the ship from the north gate to take refuge, so that if Jiangxia falls, you can escape unscathed." Quan Cong dismounted and clasped his fists.

"My lord, you have a rich body, you must leave this dangerous place immediately." Hu Zong followed and advised.

"That's fine, Zhang Fei is very brave, just do your best."

After saying this, Sun Quan took the reins from the tiger soldier, then got on his horse and followed the tiger soldier away. Zhuge Jin and others followed closely and went out to the north gate.

Everyone ran out of the north gate of Jiangxia in panic and breathed a sigh of relief when they boarded the warship in the river. At this time, the city was still filled with shouts of murder.

Seeing Sun Quan frowning, Lieutenant Zhongyi Shiyi approached to comfort him: "We have enough defenders in Jiangxia. It's not that easy for Zhang Fei to easily occupy the city. As long as he can persist in the street fighting for a day or two, General Lu will be able to come back with reinforcements."

Destroy the enemy."

Sun Quan was frightened for a moment without mentioning Lu Xun. If Lu Xun was really a traitor, he would not be safe on the ship, so he quickly asked: "Who is Zhang Fei's internal commander? The defenders of the four gates of Jiangxia were strictly selected.

,who can tell me why?”

None of the civil and military officials on the ship answered. Sun Quan struggled for a long time and finally decided to preserve his strength. The Jie Fan Guards in Jiangxia City were directly under his own armed forces, and they were private soldiers that Sun Quan managed to save with great difficulty.

"Ziyu (Shiyi), please return to Jiangxia City immediately and inform Hu Zong, Xu Xiang, Quan Cong and others, asking them to fight and leave without force, and find a way to retreat to the ship. We will return to Chaisang immediately.

"Sun Quan ordered.

Shiyi was so shocked that he couldn't speak. Zhuge Jin hurriedly asked: "My lord, do you want to abandon Jiangxia? If Zhang Fei succeeds in capturing this place, none of the soldiers who invaded Jingzhou will be able to return it. Please think twice."

"What can we do if we don't give up? Now that the city gate has been lost, even if Lu Xun returns with his troops, who will resist Zhang Fei or Pang De?" Sun Quan asked back.

"Uh... Zhang Fei, Fazheng only has infantry and cavalry. Even if the lord wants to give up Jiangxia temporarily, he should move to the north bank and station in the small town of Xiakou, and wait for General Lu to return for reinforcements. Otherwise, Ziming (Lu Meng), Wen Gui

(Pan Zhang) The two men were trapped in Jingzhou." Zhuge Jin continued to advise.

Sun Quan frowned: "Zhang Fei, although Fazheng has no warships to cross the river, don't forget Gan Ning on the Han River. If he brings Guan Yu to Xiakou, will he still want to escape intact?"

"Uh..." Zhuge Jin was speechless.

"The general will do it immediately." Shi Yi immediately disembarked and returned to Jiangxia.

Zhang Fei invaded Jiangxia City at Zishi, and the two armies fought all night until dawn. Jiangdong withdrew completely at the cost of losing thousands of soldiers.

After unexpectedly occupying Jiangxia, Xu Shuang sent people to Dongting to deliver a message and worked with Fa Zheng to stabilize order in the city. Zhang Fei and Pang De took advantage of the situation and went out of the city to seize the port and dock. However, Sun Quan's fleet had already set sail.

Zhang Fei and Pang De rode their horses to the river, and had the cavalry chase and insult them along the river for five or six miles before returning.

The atmosphere on the main ship was heavy. Sun Quan, who was sitting in the cabin, looked livid. All the civil and military officials did not dare to get into trouble and stood on the deck to drink from the wind.

Internal response Zhang Da led Zhang Fei to kill in the city. During the battle, he was discovered by Xu Xiang, the governor of the Jiefan Guards on the left. Hu Zong, the governor of the right, checked his identity and reported to Sun Quan just now.

Zhang Da was a junior officer who was promoted from the city gate officer when Lu Meng was stationed in Jiangxia.

"What do Lu Ziming want to do? I blame you for not being happy to be appointed as the Governor, and deliberately let Zhang Dalai disgust me? You are not really a traitor, are you?" Sun Quan slapped the table and said to himself. At this moment, neither Lu Xun nor Lu Meng dared

Believe again.

Sun Quan sat in the cabin for a while, and when he heard the scolding outside the window, he was about to go to the deck to get some air. As soon as he walked out of the cabin, he saw the generals whispering.

The moment Sun Quan's figure appeared on the deck, the generals on the ship immediately stopped talking. They looked around and did not respond to Sun Quan's eyes.

"What were you talking about just now?" Sun Quan asked with a frown.

Everyone shut up and refused to answer. Sun Quan's doubts became even greater. He pointed at Quan Cong and said, "Zi Huang, tell me."

"Uh... everyone was talking about Captain Yu just now..." Quan Cong's eyes dodge.

"Yu Zhongxiang? What did you say about him?" Sun Quan asked.

"Said he divined...the fortune-telling was accurate..." Quan Cong hesitated and lowered his head.

Sun Quan's eyes were serious, and he snorted coldly: "Is divination accurate? How to be accurate?"

Quan Cong buried his head and did not dare to answer. Other generals such as Hu Zong and Xu Xiang were also like frost beating eggplants, and they did not dare to respond to Sun Quan's questions.

"Zihuang?"

"Uh... the third line of the Peel hexagram is 'peel it off, there is no blame.' Mr. Ziyu interpreted it as 'the people who are superficially attached break away', perhaps in response to the rebellious leader Zhang Da, who let Zhang Fei into the city privately

, but if evil intentions are used for other purposes, the consequences will be unimaginable, so 'no blame' can also be echoed." Quan Cong swallowed his saliva.

"That's Ziyu's interpretation accurately..." Sun Quan nodded in confirmation. Suddenly he remembered Yu Fan's last line, and his originally gentle face fell again.
