The seventeenth chapter of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms takes Nanjun

Zhou Yu killed Cao Cao's million-strong army, and he was very proud. He reorganized his army and horses, and prepared to take advantage of the victory to capture Nanjun. Sun Gan came to congratulate Liu Bei on the order of Liu Bei, and Zhou Yu heard Sun Gan say that Liu Bei had the intention of taking Nanjun, and he was very angry in his heart, so he came to negotiate with Liu Bei under the pretext of thanking Cao for defeat.

Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang, what is the intention of Zhou Yu to thank him in person? Zhuge Liang said that Zhou Yu came for Nanjun. discussed a solution with Liu Bei. Set aside the warship and let Zhao Yun go to meet him.

Zhou Yu and Lu Su arrived at the mouth of the Youjiang River, greeted by Zhao Yun, Liu Bei set up a banquet to treat each other, and the two sides talked about taking Nanjun, Liu Bei said that Cao Ren guarded Nanjun and was not easy to deal with. Zhou Yu said: "I can't take Nanjun, let you take it." ”

Zhou Yu sent Jiang Qin as the vanguard, Xu Sheng and Ding Feng as lieutenants, and soon captured Yiling, and then led an army to attack Nanjun. Cao Ren was anxious, opened the secret plan left by Cao Cao, and acted according to the plan, withdrawing all the soldiers and horses in the city from the city, planting flags all over the city walls, and bluffing.

The next day, the Wu army attacked the city, Cao Ren and Cao Hong faked defeat, and the Wu army continued to pursue. When Zhou Yu saw that the city gate was wide open, he led his army into the city. Unexpectedly, the bows and crossbows were fired together, the arrows rained down, and Zhou Yu was hit by an arrow and was rescued by his subordinates. Cao Ren and Cao Hong took advantage of the situation to fight back in two ways and defeated the Wu soldiers.

Zhou Yu was a poisoned arrow, and the military doctor told him to recuperate, if he became angry, it would be even more difficult to heal. Cao Ren expected Zhou Yu to be seriously injured, and ordered the sergeant to scold outside every day, Zhou Yu was very resentful, and led the troops to fight, but before they could fight, Zhou Yu suddenly screamed, spurted blood from his mouth, fell off the horse, and was rescued by his generals.

As soon as the Wu army withdrew its troops and returned to the camp, they held a funeral and said that Zhou Yu was dead. When Cao Ren learned about it, he decided to rob the village at night, but he fell for Zhou Yu's plan and was defeated by the Wu army and fled.

Wu Jun was full of joy and went straight to Nanjun, but saw the flags fluttering in the city and the swords and guns were distinct. General Zhao Yun shouted: "I have taken the city by the order of the general, please don't blame the governor!" Zhou Yu was furious and ordered the siege of the city, but was shot back by random arrows from the city.

Zhou Yu was full of anger, so he sent Gan Ning to take thousands of men and horses to take Jingzhou; Ling Tong went to take Xiang Yi Yang Yi.

Before the military horses set off, Tanma reported that Zhuge Liang used the military talisman to transfer out the troops of Jingzhou and Xiangyiyangyi, and asked Zhang Fei to capture Jingzhou, and Guan Yu captured Xiangyiyangyi. When Zhou Yu heard this, he screamed, the arrow sores burst, his mouth spat blood, and he fainted.

A few days later, Zhou Yu wanted to raise troops to attack Nanjun, but was persuaded by Lu Su. Lu Su said: "When I go to see Liu Bei and reason with him, it will not be too late to move troops if it doesn't make sense." ”

When Lu Su saw Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, he said that Eastern Wu had spent money, food, military horses, and repelled Cao Bing, and that Jing and Xiangjiu counties should be returned to Eastern Wu. Zhuge Liang said: "Jingzhou and Xiangyiyang 19 counties were originally Liu Biao's places, and Liu Bei helped Liu Qi to get back Jingzhou in the name of his uncle, what's wrong?" Lu Su had nothing to say, only said that if Liu Qi was gone, he would ask Liu Bei to return Jingzhou and Xiangyi Yang to Eastern Wu.

Lu Su went back to the village overnight to see Zhou Yu and told him what had happened.

At this time, Sun Quan summoned Zhou Yu to attack Hefei, and Zhou Yu had to withdraw his troops.

Liu Bei won the three cities of Jing and Xiang, and listened to Ma Liang's plan to attack Lingling, Guiyiyangyi. Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei rushed to fight for the task of sending troops to attack Gui Yiyang and Yiyi, and they did not give in to each other. Kong Ming ordered the lottery to decide.

As a result, he was drawn by Zhao Yun, and immediately made a military order and took 3,000 men and horses to break the city.

Gui Yiyang and Zhao Fan were afraid of Liu Bei's army, so they wanted to surrender. However, his generals Chen Ying and Bao Long resolutely fought the main battle. Later, Chen Ying was captured alive by Zhao Yun, and Zhao Fan also opened the city gate and surrendered.

Zhao Fan set up a banquet to entertain Zhao Yun, and became brothers with Zhao Yun. Zhao Fan asked his widowed sister-in-law to accompany Zhao Yun to drink, and wanted to marry his sister-in-law to Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun was very angry, knocked down Zhao Fan with one punch, and got on his horse and went out of the city.

Zhao Fan discussed with Chen Ying and Bao Long, and wanted to design and murder Zhao Yun, but Zhao Yun saw through it, beheaded Chen Ying and Bao Long, and captured Zhao Fan alive.

When Liu Bei and Kong Ming arrived at Guiyiyangyi, Zhao Fan informed them that he wanted to give his sister-in-law to Zhao Yun, Liu Bei and Kong Ming both thought it was feasible, but Zhao Yun refused. Liu Bei praised Zhao Yun for being a manly man.

Zhang Fei attacked Wuling, but Jin Xuan, who was too guarded, did not listen to the persuasion of his subordinate Gong Zhi to surrender, and led his troops to meet the battle. Zhang Fei roared, and Jin Xuan retreated into the city. Gong Zhi took the city, and the arrows were scattered, and the golden swirl was hit by the arrow, and Gong Zhi opened the city and surrendered.

Guan Yu asked for orders to attack Changsha. Kong Ming said that there was a veteran Huang Zhong under Han Xuan, the Taishou of Changsha, who was strong in martial arts, and had to bring more soldiers to shoot, but Guan Yu did not listen, and only brought 500 sword and axe men.

Guan Yu and Huang Zhong fought for more than 100 rounds, regardless of victory or defeat. The next day, Guan Yu used a dragging knife to lure Huang Zhong to chase after him. Huang Zhong's horse lost his front hoof, but Guan Yu didn't kill him, and asked him to change horses and fight again.

The next day, Huang Zhong faked defeat, lured Guan Yu to chase, Huang Zhong turned around and released two empty arrows, and the third time an arrow hit Guan Yu's helmet, Guan Yu knew that this was Huang Zhong's revenge for his kindness not to kill the day before yesterday, and led the troops to retreat.

Han Xuan saw clearly in the city and said that Huang Zhong was secretly collaborating with the enemy and wanted to kill Huang Zhong. was rescued by Wei Yan at the right time, and Wei Yan killed Han Xuan and dedicated the city.

Liu Bei and Kong Ming celebrated Guan Yu's achievements, while Huang Zhong said that he was sick and refused to come out to see him. Liu Bei personally came to the door and asked him again and again, and Huang Zhong surrendered.

Kong Ming said that Wei Yan was a person who killed the lord and sacrificed the city, was disloyal and unjust, and would definitely rebel in the future, so he ordered the beheading to prevent future troubles. Liu Bei hurriedly persuaded him. Kong Ming said to Wei Yan, "If you have any different intentions in the future, I will definitely kill you." ”

Liu Bei's class returned to Jingzhou and changed the mouth of the oil river to public security. Recruit troops, collect money and food, and want to achieve a career.
