Three Kingdoms: I, Liu Feng, do not want to die

Chapter 98 Seizing boats and crossing the river, Liu Feng led his army into Jingnan
"General!"

Han Dang's close guards and strong men were furious when they saw Han Dang dead.

The two strong men who were close to him rushed towards Liu Feng like wild bulls, stabbing him fiercely with the spears in their hands.

Even the royal guards are divided into close and distant relatives.

Just like Tian Qi and Tian Zhong who were beside Liu Feng, they cared about Liu Feng's life and death more than other guards.

After a moment of shock, these two strong men who were Han Dang's bodyguards felt no fear but only anger.

It is a shame that the lord is dying in front of his eyes and the guards are unable to save him.

Shame breeds anger.

Anger can drive people crazy.

"General, be careful!"

Tian Qi shouted with sharp eyes.

Given the distance between the two sides, Tian Qi only had time to shout.

Just when the spear was about to pierce Liu Feng, Liu Feng decisively threw away the sword and shield in his hands, quickly dodged the spear head by turning sideways, and then used his ape-like hands to tightly grasp the two spears and clamp them under his armpits.

Seeing that they failed to stab Liu Feng, the two strong men shouted and tried to push Liu Feng forward.

But Liu Feng's feet seemed to have taken root, standing still like a mountain, and his hands were also exerting strength.

"Click".

The sharp sound of the spear handle breaking was heard.

Under the astonished gaze of the two strong men, the two spear handles were actually broken.

Before the two strong men could react, Liu Feng quickly turned the broken spear, and the sharp spear head fiercely pierced the necks of the two strong men.

Looking at Liu Feng who was as ferocious as a bloody devil, Han Dang and his bodyguards who were rushing towards Liu Feng with red eyes stopped in their tracks, with fear written all over their faces.

When they first saw Han Dang being killed, the strong men's anger prevailed over their fear.

Seeing that the two guards were killed in an instant, the fear of the strong men surpassed their anger.

Is that human being?
Words of fear emerged in the minds of the strong men.

Looking at the Wu soldiers who were too frightened to move, Liu Feng's wild laughter rang out again.

The broken spear dripping with blood in his hand seemed to become wild at this moment.

"The great Han Liu Feng is here, who dares to come and die again!"

The roar was like that of a tiger or leopard, causing the nearest Wu soldier to subconsciously take a step back.

Who dares?

Han Dang, who was known for his bravery, was killed by Liu Feng in a sudden attack.

The two strong men who had the opportunity to launch a sneak attack were killed instantly by Liu Feng.

If we go head-on, who will win?
Seeing the Wu soldiers were frightened, Liu Feng decisively discarded his broken spear, picked up his sword and shield, and chopped off Han Dang's flag with one stroke of his sword.

As the flag fell, Liu Feng's roar sounded again:

"Han Dang is dead. Those who surrender to me will live, and those who resist me will die!"

There was a brief silence.

Tian Qi and his son Tian Zhong also abandoned their opponents and rushed to Liu Feng, protecting him on both sides.

Liu Feng's personal guards and strong men also gathered together, and shouts of "Han Dang has been killed by General Liu" arose one after another.

I could hear shouting.

General Li Ping chopped down the Wu soldier in front of him with a sword and laughed happily: "General, you killed Han Dang, it's really a tiger's power! We should also fight hard to kill the enemy!"

The morale of the Han soldiers around was greatly boosted.

On the other hand, the Wu soldiers were horrified and frightened by the killing of Han Dang.

The general is the courage of the soldiers.

The death of a commander-in-chief is like a broken heart, which will cause morale to collapse.

The Wu soldiers were frightened and scattered, running towards the river like headless flies.

"Seize the big ship!"

Liu Feng shouted orders again.

The large ship at Jiangjinkou is not only Sun Quan's grain transport ship, but also Sun Quan's troop transport ship. It is a large ship that can cross the Yangtze River.

After Sun Quan captured Gong'an and Jiangling.

Some of the large ships were placed in the hands of the Public Security Bureau, some were given to Lu Xun, and the remaining large ships were all in Jiangjinkou.

When the Wu soldiers saw the Han soldiers chasing them, they scrambled to board the boats, and countless people fell into the water.

On this windy and snowy night, the river water is already cold.

Once they fall into the water, even if the Wu soldiers are all good at swimming, it will be difficult for them to survive.

After capturing the big ship.

Liu Feng ignored the Wu soldiers who threw down their weapons and surrendered, nor did he pay attention to the Wu soldiers who tried to seize the small boats and fled, or the Wu soldiers who fell into the water and struggled. Instead, he ordered everyone to board the boats immediately and take the injured Han soldiers with them. Some of the cooking utensils, pots, pans, and fire starters in Han Dang's camp were also thrown onto the boat by Deng Xian and his men.

Then he crossed the river and headed directly to the other side of Jiangjinkou.

Most of the soldiers led by Liu Feng were from Jingzhou. They were good at swimming and knew how to drive boats, so it was basically no difficulty for them to control the large ships of the Wu soldiers at Jiangjinkou.

Just crossed the river.

There was another commotion at Jiangjinkou. It was Zhu Ran who was rushing in from the direction of Liufeng Stronghold.

Looking at the mess in the camp, Zhu Ran was horrified.

Grabbing a soldier named Han Dang who was kneeling and shivering in the snow, Zhu Ran asked in a stern voice, "Where is General Han?"

Sergeant Han Dang was not sure whether he was cold or frightened, but his whole body was shaking like a sieve, and his tone was filled with fear: "General Han is dead, he is not a human being, not a human being."

Zhu Ran was even more shocked.

General Han is dead?
This, this, how is this possible!

The Supreme One had already sent someone to inform General Han to increase vigilance tonight, so how could he die?

Zhu Ran hurriedly ordered his soldiers to search the camp.

Until he saw Han Dang fall under the big flag, the last glimmer of hope in Zhu Ran's heart disappeared.

"General Han!"

Zhu Ran squatted in front of Han Dang with a spear in his hand, his eyes gradually filled with anger.

Suddenly.

Zhu Ran seemed to have thought of something and strode to the riverside.

Seeing that there were only a few small boats on the river bank and the big ships were gone, Zhu Ran's face showed panic. "Oh no! Liu Feng got the big ship. Jingnan is in danger!"

After Sun Quan's surprise attack on Jiangling, most of his troops were deployed in Nanjun and Yidu counties, and the method of issuing proclamations was used against Lingling County and Wuling County in southern Jing.

For Sun Quan: as long as Guan Yu's army was isolated in the north of the Yangtze River, even if Lingling County and Wuling County were dissatisfied, they would have to succumb to the military power.

When Sun Quan seized the three counties of Changsha, Guiyang and Lingling in the past, he used this trick. He asked Lu Su to lead troops to isolate Guan Yu from the three counties, making the three counties mistakenly believe that Guan Yu had given up the three counties.

However, this tactic has a fatal flaw.

That is, once Guan Yu's troops crossed the river to southern Jing, the counties of Lingling and Wuling would surrender and then rebel again.

And now.

Liu Feng not only launched a surprise attack on Jiangjinkou and killed Han Dang, but also seized a boat to cross the river.

Given Liu Feng's status and the fact that he had thousands of soldiers crossing the river, who in Lingling and Wuling counties would dare to raise the flag of Eastern Wu on the city walls?

And the facts turned out to be just as Zhu Ran expected.

After crossing the Yangtze River, Liu Feng decided to contact the anti-Wu heroes in Lingling County and Wuling County.

Liu Feng once entrusted Liao Hua to deliver a letter to Xi Zhen, the commander of the northern part of Lingling.

The gist of the letter is: If Xi Zhen intends to rebel against Sun Quan, he needs to wait until Liu Feng or Guan Yu leads his troops to Jingnan; if Liu Feng or Guan Yu cannot lead their troops to Jingnan, he must endure humiliation and wait until Liu Bei's Xichuan troops appear in Jingnan before raising the flag to respond; if even Liu Bei's Xichuan troops cannot appear in Jingnan in the end, Xi Zhen will need to continue to endure humiliation and wait for the right time.

Liu Feng's purpose of sending the letter at that time was to prevent Xi Zhen from being suppressed by Pan Jun because of his hasty rebellion against Sun Quan.

Later, because Jiangling fell too quickly, Liu Feng was not sure whether Xi Zhen had received the letter, and even less sure whether Xi Zhen would obey the instructions in the letter, so he did not consider Xi Zhen in the plan to capture Jiangling.

This time, affected by the sudden snowstorm, Liu Feng fought hard in the snow, killed Han Dang, seized large ships, and crossed the Yangtze River.

Although they lost the big stronghold on the north bank, they also led their troops to the Jingnan area, and unexpectedly had the opportunity to join forces with Xi Zhen.

As the old saying goes: If you lose something in one place, you gain something in another.

Since plans cannot keep up with changes, we must keep a calm mind and respond in time.

South bank.

With a large ship to rest on, Liu Feng and his soldiers also had a chance to catch their breath.

In the attack on Jiangjinkou, Liu Feng suffered heavy losses among his 5,000 elite soldiers.

In addition to the more than 200 people who were lost in the snow and wind, more than a thousand people were killed or injured in the battle with Han Dang, and it is unknown how many people were frozen and sick after the battle.

Although he won tonight, Liu Feng only gained a temporary advantage and did not gain a decisive advantage in capturing Jiangling.

Inside the cabin.

Tian Qi brought the brazier to Liu Feng and handed the warm wine to him.

With Sun Quan's large ship transporting supplies at Jiangjinkou, Liu Feng was not short of food for the time being. Not only that, there were also wine, medicine and other supplies stored in the cabin.

After taking a sip of warm wine and feeling the warmth in his body, Liu Feng thought of the letter that Ma Yu asked Bai Shou to send to him.

The letter said: Sun Quan in Jiangdong often robbed mountain people as slaves. There are many mountain people in Wuling and Lingling, so maybe they can be won over by kindness.

According to historical records, when Liu Bei was attacking Wu, he also sent his attendant Ma Liang to comfort the Wuxi barbarians, and many barbarian kings sent their tribesmen to help Liu Bei.

In Liu Feng's opinion.

The significance of winning over the mountain people with kindness and favor is not only to ask them to send troops to help, but also to increase the benefits of military intelligence transmission from Zigui to Wuling County and Lingling County.

Xi Zhen launched two uprisings against Wu.

Once, when Liu Bei had not yet attacked Wu, Xi Zhen contacted Wuling official Fan Jun to raise an army, but they were defeated by Pan Jun. Fan Jun was beheaded by Pan Jun, and Xi Zhen escaped by chance.

One time was when Liu Bei was attacking Wu. After returning to Lingling County, Xi Zhen led seven counties to rebel against Sun Quan. He proclaimed himself the prefect of Shaoling, stationed troops in the Yi territory and submitted to Liu Bei. He was defeated by Pan Jun and died.

After Xi Zhen was wiped out by Pan Jun, Liu Bei also received news of Xi Zhen's defeat, and held a funeral for Xi Zhen, posthumously awarding him the title of Prefect of Shaoling.

This shows that Xi Zhen had connections with Liu Bei.

Combined with Ma Liang's entry into Wuling to make friends with the foreign king, Liu Bei at that time must have also increased the benefits of military intelligence communications with Xi Zhen by winning over the foreign king through favors.

Now Sun Quan stationed his troops in Jiangling, and Lu Xun marched into Yidu.

Even if Meng Da defended Zigui, the dangerous mountain passes and waterways from Zigui to Jiangling would be controlled by Lu Xun.

Whether it was the Pingjun Army in Shangyongguan, Meng Da's Army in Zigui or Liu Bei's Xichuan Army, it was difficult for them to get in touch with Wuling County and Lingling County.

At this time, it is extremely important to win over the mountain people with kindness and loyalty.

After crossing the river.

Liu Feng's top priority was no longer to capture Jiangling, but to establish contact with anti-Wu forces in various places and strengthen military intelligence communications.

The key to military strategy is to be able to adapt to changing circumstances.

At different time points, it is necessary to adjust the response strategy in time to seize the fleeting opportunity to win.

After careful consideration.

Liu Feng took out his pen and knife and carefully recorded the current military situation in Jingzhou and the key points of response.

It's dawn.

Liu Feng walked out of the cabin.

Looking at the rising sun in the sky, Liu Feng couldn't help but sigh that the difference in weather was so great across the river.

Last night on the north bank of the Yangtze River, the sky was full of wind and snow.

When I went to the south bank of the Yangtze River this morning, there was no trace of snow.

This is undoubtedly a good thing for Liu Feng.

If the south bank of the Yangtze River is still covered with snow and wind, Liu Feng will not be able to contact the anti-Wu forces in various places in time, nor will he be able to make the counties of Wuling and Lingling submit in time.

Liu Feng summoned the lieutenant Kou Anguo, handed him the battle report, and told him: "Anguo, take ten elite soldiers with you and take the Wuling Mountain Road to Zigui. If Zigui has not been lost by the time you arrive, your father should have arrived in Zigui. If Zigui has unfortunately been lost, go directly to Baidi City.

Remember, this battle report can only be handed over to your father personally and must not be leaked to anyone, including Meng Da!

An Guo, my life and the lives of everyone else are now in your hands."

Liu Feng patted Kou Anguo's shoulder heavily.

Kou Anguo also knew the importance of this battle report, and said goodbye with tears in his eyes: "I will definitely live up to the general's trust!"

After Kou Anguo and his men left, Liu Feng summoned Fang Yue again.

He ordered Fang Yue to take more than ten riders to Linyuan, the capital of Wuling County, which was more than 400 miles away, to look for Fan Jun, an official of Wuling.

Since Xi Zhen was able to work with Wuling to help Fan Jun rise up against Wu, and Fan Jun died in the battle, then Fan Jun is also trustworthy.

Liu Feng also needed to use Fan Jun's identity as a Wuling official to get in touch with Jingnan heroes such as Xi Zhen, and obtain subsequent supplies of food, clothing, armor, weapons, medicines, etc.

Next.

Liu Feng also asked Li Fu and Deng Xian to lead people to build a camp on the south bank, and transfer all the supplies on the large ship to the camp, preparing for a long-term confrontation with Sun Quan.
