Chapter 130: Hiding the truth and making money
It turned out that when Gan Ning was in Nanyang County, he was highly appreciated by Su Fei. The two had a close personal relationship and became close friends.
As the governor under Huang Zu, Su Fei recommended Gan Ning to Huang Zu many times, but Huang Zu refused to hire Gan Ning because he was a Jinfan thief.
This matter is also recorded in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". How could Li Qi not know about it?
Even if he didn't know, he wouldn't just push Su Fei out and behead him without asking.
So what Li Qi did was to ask Gan Ning to intercede for Su Fei, so that Su Fei would owe Gan Ning a favor, and at the same time, Gan Ning would owe him a favor.
When Gan Ning saw that Li Qi was silent, he said, "I am willing to guarantee it with my life!"
Su Fei was moved to tears: "Xingba..."
Li Qidao: "Since you are a close friend of General Gan, I will spare your life. I hope you can make great contributions to repay the kindness of Xinghe."
Su Fei retreated quietly.
After appeasing Su Fei, Li Qi asked Pang Tong how to quickly defeat Zhou Yu. After all, Cao Cao was still in a stalemate, so he couldn't stay here for long.
After Pang Tong thought about it carefully, he said: "My Lord, you can write a letter and send it to Guan Yu, saying that we have sent Li Yan and Shamoke to send troops from Guiyang to attack Yuzhang County. Zhou Yu will withdraw his troops soon and ask General Guan
Be patient and don't be impatient. The messenger will pass through Zhou Yu's defense area so that Zhou Yu can get this letter."
The main force in Jiangdong is Zhou Yu. If Zhou Yu believes this news, he will definitely withdraw his troops because he is worried that Yuzhang County will suffer a loss.
Just like the last time Li Qi led his army south.
but……
Li Qi smiled and said: "The other party is Zhou Lang, I'm afraid he won't fall into the trap so easily."
Pang Tong said: "Zhou Yu will definitely not fall into the trap. He will even try to fall into the trap and pretend to retreat, but leave an ambush along the way, waiting for our army to fall into the trap."
Li Qi asked: "So, how should we seize this opportunity?"
Pang Tong and Li Qi had a secret conversation, and Li Qi followed Pang Tong's plan and ordered Ren Yang to write a letter and send it to Guan Yu.
Jiangdong sentry detectives captured the messenger and presented the letter to Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu laughed after reading it and showed the letter to his generals.
After Han Dang read this letter, he was surprised and said: "If Li Qizhen sends troops from Guiyang, the rear area of Jiangdong will be in danger. Why is the governor laughing?"
Zhou Yu said: "You can only hide this from others, but how can you hide it from me? Now that Li Qibing has arrived in Jiangxia, Guan Yu already feels at ease, so why bother to send this letter? He still has to pass through our defense area. This is
This is a plan to induce me to retreat."
Han Dang asked: "Since the governor has seen through this plan, we can just stand still."
Zhou Yu said: "No. We can pretend to retreat, and Li Qi will come to pursue us. Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai can ambush archers on the way, kill the enemy with crossbows first, and then send troops to attack when they are in chaos. Anyway, it's okay.
We want him to lose his troops and generals."
It's night, the moon is white and the wind is high.
Jiangdong soldiers broke out from the stronghold and ambush in the jungle on the way.
At the fourth watch, Jiangdong's soldiers were all tired, so they had to take turns to rest. Unfortunately, the weather turned cold, and the forest was humid and cold. Jiangdong's soldiers were shivering from the cold, and they all cursed in their hearts, how could they get a good rest.
Until dawn, no Yizhou soldiers came to pursue them.
Zhou Yu had no choice but to gather his troops and re-set up camp. After all, it was now time. If Zhou Yu really retreated, Li Qi would not be able to catch up. On the contrary, if Li Qi thought that Zhou Yu did not really retreat, then he would not
Come and chase.
As soon as the camp was set up, a spy suddenly came to report: "Report to the Commander-in-Chief, Li Qi led his army across the Lin River last night and headed towards Zhu County."
Zhou Yu was shocked and said: "If Li Qi captures Zhu County and chokes the main road of Linshui, it will cut off our army's supply route."
Although Cheng Pu was stationed in Zhu County, it was only to defend against the attack of Jiang Xia soldiers at the beginning, so there were not many troops. Now, no matter how good Zhou Yu was, he never expected that Li Qi would come to patronize him behind Cao Cao's back, and Li Qi
This move is to attack the place where he has no choice but to save, and all strategies are in vain.
So Zhou Yu led a group of Jiangdong soldiers with panda eyes in their boats and sailed down the river to rescue Zhu County.
When they arrived at the north bank of Zhu County, Jiangdong soldiers disembarked from their boats and lined up.
However, before the soldiers had completely landed, a group of crossbowmen surged out from the shore and fired at the Jiangdong soldiers "Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!".
Zhou Yu's team instantly became a mess. The Yizhou soldiers took advantage of the situation and rushed out, defeating the Jiangdong soldiers.
Zhou Yu did not dare to disembark and ordered the fleet to dock to the south bank.
Just after arriving at the south bank, when half of the troops and horses landed, Guan Yu personally led an army to kill them, and then killed the Jiangdong soldiers.
It turned out that after Zhou Yu pretended to retreat last night, Li Qicai actually sent a letter to Guan Yu stating his specific plan.
No matter how arrogant Guan Yu is, facing Li Qi thinking about their problems over and over again, and now personally leading an army to relieve the siege of Jiangxia, is there any reason for Guan Yu not to obey?
Now that there were strong troops on both sides of the river, Zhou Yu could not reach the shore, so he had to continue southward along the Lin River and retreat to E County.
Li Qi besieged Zhu County. Cheng Pu found out that Zhu County was not strong enough to defend itself, so he abandoned the city and left.
Li Qi took Gan Ning as the commander of the navy and marched towards E County along the waterway; Guan Yu marched hand in hand with Gan Ning's navy from the land.
When the two armies arrived at the city of E County, they did not call for formation or start a fight. They just drank and had fun in the open space outside the range of the crossbows under the city.
Zhou Cang was very excited when he met Guan Yu that day, but he was very confident and knew that he was now Li Qi's man, so he just gave Guan Yu a bowl to show his respect.
Guan Yu said to Li Qi: "In the past, my third brother once said that Li Yizhou was righteous and generous. Now that I have seen him, his reputation is indeed well-deserved."
Li Qidao: "I wonder if there is any news about Yide and the emperor's uncle?"
Guan Yu felt ashamed and said: "There is no news about the eldest brother and third brother yet. As soon as the Jiangdong soldiers are retreated, I will go and look for them personally."
Li Qidao: "Sun Quan in Jiangdong is capricious, so it is better for Yun Chang to stick to Jiangxia. I believe that the emperor's uncle and Yide will be safe and sound."
Pei Yuanshao poured wine for Li Qi and Guan Yu and advised them, "Don't just talk, come on, have a drink."
Zhou Cang broke off another piece of pig's trotters and shouted: "Eat, eat, eat."
Zhou Tai, who was upstairs in E County, was so angry that he itched his teeth and cursed: "The thief bullied me too much!"
Unfortunately, Zhou Yu was trapped a little deeper this time, fearing that Li Qi had arranged some trick under the city, so he did not dare to do anything without permission.
However, E County is a small city with no grain stores, so Zhou Yu could not last long in E County.
Fortunately, both Li Qi and Guan Yu gathered at the east gate, and there were no enemies at the other three gates. No matter which gate Zhou Yu took, it was okay to abandon the city and leave.
Zhou Yu sighed: "I didn't expect that Li Qi would come to relieve the siege of Jiangxia during the confrontation with Cao's army. This man is well prepared with both scheming and courage. He is really a trouble to Jiangdong and must be eliminated."
All the generals were silent.
Today, Li Qi owns Yizhou and half of Jingzhou. It is not easy to get rid of him. It is more practical to think about how to escape from Jiangxia County. I like to travel through the Three Kingdoms. From the beginning of the story, please collect it: (www
