The Three Kingdoms of Navigation

Chapter 77 False Name and Real Profit

If the arrival of the destruction camp has reduced the pressure on the soldiers of the State of Wu, then the participation of Sun Luban and the Flying Tiger Camp has made the soldiers of the State of Wu feel great pressure, and this pressure quickly turned into motivation.

If the princesses fight and kill, what reason do they have to escape? Is it possible that a seven-foot man is not as good as a woman, and a woman has to protect himself? If you quit like this, what face will you say in front of others in the future?

Chen Shi's shout aroused the blood in the hearts of the soldiers of the State of Wu. They followed Chen Shi to raise their knives and shouted "princess mighty" and killed them again regardless of their lives. Unprecedented strength burst into their tired bodies. They waved the weapons in their hands and killed the Funan people in a more crazy posture.

The charge of the Funan people seemed to have encountered the waves of the boulder. Although it was very powerful, it was difficult to shake the boulder at all. It just smashed itself to pieces and stirred up waves.

The hundred-step wide battlefield is like a changing coastline. The place where they meet is splashing blood. The soldiers fell down one by one, and more soldiers rushed up. They vowed to die and competed for every inch of position.

Sun Luban was murderous. After several years of hard practice, she finally had a chance to use it. She opened a pair of apricot eyes, and the sword cast from cold iron in her hand sprinkled pieces of blood flowers, and killed one Funan soldiers one after another in front of her. Soon, her whole body was stained red by the enemy's blood, but she had no time to take a look. Roaring, he rushed forward bravely.

Bai Yu and Gaia closely protected both sides of her. On the outside of them, it was the destruction camp led by Ding Feng. Ding Feng did not dare to be careless. If Sun Luban was hurt, he would be sorry for the queen's words and the king's trust. He could die by himself, but he could not let Sun Luban die. He rushed to the front with the most brave guards and killed the Funan soldiers who seemed to cause harm to Sun Luban one by one.

Funan soldiers are still pouring in, but they can no longer move forward at all. Wu Yue soldiers are like an insurmountable obstacle, blocking in front of them. No matter how many people they rush up, it is difficult to shake this obstacle.

A corpse wall was quickly piled up in front of Sun Luban, and the blood soaked the blood under his feet into the mud, and it became very difficult to walk. Sun Luban was also wearing cowhide sandals, barefooted. Her two feet were full of blood mud, which was slippery. She was not only uncomfortable, but also seriously affected her movements. She was a little irritable. She punched down a Funan soldier who was about to bite, took advantage of the gap to pull off her shoes and smashed her head on the face of a rushing Funan soldier. The soldier thought it was a weapon. He subconsciously raised his arms to protect the door and blocked the sandals, but was kicked in the heart by a small foot that was kicked in front of him. He suddenly felt a stuffy chest, turned over and flew upside down. He fell to the ground with a plop. Before he could get up, he was stepped on by his companion behind him. His eyes were dark and he lost consciousness.

In his last memory, there were two white calves and a pair of small feet stained with blood and mud.

Guan Feng stood in the command car and paid attention to Sun Luban, who was fighting in the battle. He breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Sun family really has a tradition of warriors. Not only men are good at fighting, but also women can't be underestimated. As his name is, the big tiger man will be no less than your aunt in the future.

Sun Shangxiang smiled and said modestly at all, "That's need to say."

Guan Feng smiled, looked at the situation of the battlefield, and said, "The Funan people have lost control and their morale has collapsed. It's time to give them a last blow and let them surrender. Otherwise, we will lose a lot."

Sun Shangxiang nodded: "The trapped beast is still fighting. It's time to put it up."

Guan Feng waved his hand, and the flag soldiers beside him waved the battle flag in his hand. Ten strong men waved their muscular arms and knocked on the cowhide drums. The rumbled drums spread around like muffled thunder. The left and right sides of the signal sounded at the same time. The soldiers crossed the deep pit and began to attack the two wings of the Funan Army. After the Funan soldiers were attacked, the momentum of their progress was interrupted again. They looked at the rain of arrows covering the sky and listened to the moraleous shouts of Wuyue's coalition. They completely collapsed. They knew that they had No matter how hard you work, there is no chance to survive.

Fan Chang sat on the elephant's back in a daze, looking at the crazy battle array. All his ambitions went with the wind at this moment, and even life and death became no longer important. He looked at the cloudless sky, and his mood was surprisingly calm. He actually felt the state of peace and joy.

It's over, it's all over. Fan Chang's mouth showed a self-mocking sarcasm, and he thought of Fan Yan. Although Fan Yan is not his own brother, Fan Yan, like him, is his father's favorite general. Fan Yan has fought more battles than him. His father has always valued him more. When he heard that Fan Yan's soldiers were defeated and died, he was also a little disdainful. He felt that Fan Yan was just like this, but now he knows that Fan Yan was defeated. It's not that he is incompetent, but that the State of Wu is too strong, and the people of the State of Wu are too cunning. They dug pits everywhere and led his 40,000 troops to death step by step.

"Woo-woo--" Suddenly, there was a strange horn sound on the noisy battlefield. Fan Chang turned his head indifferently and saw more than a dozen fast horses speeding past the front. The knight on the horse held something like a pipe in his hand and shouted something loudly. Fan Chang listened carefully, but he couldn't hear anything. As soon as he frowned, he saw ten huge things suddenly running out of the battle in front of him, which was dazzling. Fan Chang was very strange. When he fixed his eyes, he found that it was ten war elephants, but he was wearing shining armor all over his body, which looked like the arrival of a god. The war elephant carried a wooden house on its back, but at this moment, the wooden house was open, revealing the soldiers sitting inside, and the soldiers also held the same pipe in their hands.

The battlefield suddenly calmed down. Almost all the Funan soldiers looked at the ten shining war elephants, and their hearts were full of doubts. When did the people of the State of Wu also have war elephants?

The people on the war elephant shouted something, waving the colorful flags in their hands from time to time. Then, the Wu soldiers on the opposite side also shouted. Fan Chang heard it clearly this time, and they actually shouted in Funan:

"Those who surrender will not die!"

There was a stir on the battlefield, like a light wind blowing through the dead water. Many soldiers turned their heads and looked at Fan Chang standing on the elephant's back. Originally, they thought they would die, but they suddenly found that there was still a glimmer of life. Naturally, they did not dare to let it go easily, but Fan Chang did not give an order to surrender, and they could not put down their weapons.

Fan Chang smiled bitterly. He knew that when the war reached this point, he didn't want to surrender, and no one would fight with him. The final outcome was probably to be killed by the sergeant. In the eager eyes of the soldiers around him, Fan Chang did not hesitate too much and waved his hand to surrender.

After a short silence, an escape cheer broke out on the battlefield.

After a half-day fierce battle, more than 30,000 Funan soldiers were killed in the battle, more than 15,000 were injured, and more than 70 war elephants were lost. Under the condition that there was no hope of breaking through, Fan Chang accepted the advice of the Wu-Yue coalition and surrendered.

Zhuge Ke breathed a long sigh of relief and sighed. He knew that he had created a miracle. The Wu Army, with more than 15,000 fighting power, with the cooperation of the 7,000 Yue Army, defeated the 40,000 Funan Army cleanly and neatly, captured more than 20,000 Funan people alive, and fought more than 60 elephants. Such a result can be It is said to be brilliant enough to make him jump into the ranks of famous generals.

Zhuge Ke knew how his victory came from. Without the strong support of Yue, with those pits alone, it would be impossible for him to win the battle. Although Fan Chang would lose a lot, he was likely to break through the interception and organize a counterattack. With the only eight thousand elites in his hand, he would lose in the end. , not Fan Chang. So while he asked someone to give the good news to Sun Deng in Xijuan City, he rushed to Guanfeng's camp to thank him. As soon as he met him, he bowed down and said, "Thank you for your strong support."

Guan Feng smiled and stretched out her hand to signal him to get up: "Yuan Xun is indeed a general. He has a good plan. If the command of tens of thousands of troops is determined, it is no less than that of the general, and his future achievements are unlimited. It seems that I want to remind my king not to play against Yuanxun in the future.

Zhuge Ke was not only a little proud, but also very ashamed. He quickly said modestly, "The queen's praise, how dare you suffer. Without the strong support of the queen, Ke would not have had such a great victory. The queen is the first to win this battle. He asked himself that he did not dare to fight against the queen, let alone the tiger beard of His Royal Highness.

Guan Feng giggled, invited Zhuge Ke to sit down, ordered people to drink, and said silently for a moment, "Juan Xun, if you think we still have some credit for this war, just mention the princess, and there is no need to mention the rest."

Zhuge Ke was stunned for a moment and looked at Guan Feng unexpectedly. Seeing Guan Feng's sincere expression, it didn't seem to be a hypocritical refusal, and he couldn't help but be a little curious. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you dare to ask the queen, but do you have any worries?"

Guan Feng took a sip of wine and nodded: "Wen Xun, to tell you the truth, you know Wu Yue's situation. My king doesn't want to have any conflict with Wu Yue, and he doesn't want people to feel that the State of Yue has any threat to the State of Wu, or has any intentions against the south and Jiuzhen. As the queen of Yue, I don't need any achievements, so..."

Zhuge Ke pondered for a moment, and he was also worried about the credit. Of course, his credit will not be small, and Sun Deng's credit will not be small. However, if it reaches Sun Quan's ears, it may change in the middle. Relying on the help of Yue Guo to win this battle, it will invisibly weaken a lot, and it may produce the opposite effect. It's just that Zhuge Ke knows in his heart that the help of the State of Yue is the key to win this battle. Especially in the end, if there is no help of the Flying Tiger Camp and the Destroying Camp, and if there are no ten war elephants to suppress the formation and persuade them to surrender, it is really hard to say whether the Funan people will fight to the end.

It is not enough to erase the credit of the State of Yue, but if it is reported truthfully, the variables of the matter are very large. Now Guan Feng mainly proposes to dilute the credit of the State of Yue, which can be said to have solved a major problem of Zhuge Ke. Zhuge Ke was very grateful, but he was not so happy that he couldn't get carried away. He hesitated and said, "In that case, please ask the queen to pick the booty first."

Guan Feng smiled. Zhuge Ke is a smart man. The prisoners and war elephants of Funan are given to me, and other materials are given to you. In addition, I hope that the new governor of Nan is a familiar person. I don't want to take Nanjun, but I don't want to have a tiger.

Zhuge Ke frowned. Both of these two problems were a little tricky. The first one was easy to handle. Anyway, it was up to him to decide how much the prisoners were, and the second one was troublesome. He couldn't decide who Nan Taishou was. I'm afraid he couldn't even decide Sun Deng. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly understood that the reason why Guan Feng said he didn't want to make war achievements was actually to retreat as progress. She didn't want a false name. What she wanted was benefits. Nearly 20,000 prisoners and dozens of war elephants, what a fortune this was.

"Queen, this... I can't make a decision." Zhuge Ke smiled and said, "However, I will ask the prince for instructions and try my best to convey the queen's beauty to him."

"That's good." Guan Feng is not reluctant.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Sun Shangxiang and Sun Luban came in talking and laughing. As soon as he saw Zhuge Ke, Sun Shangxiang smiled reservedly, but Sun Luban strode over and patted Zhuge Ke on the shoulder cheerfully: "I helped you this time. How are you going to thank me?"

Zhuge Ke's shoulder was patted by her for a while, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching. Although he was not used to Sun Luban's intimate movements, Sun Luban was a princess. He did not dare to say anything except being flattered.

"Of course, the princess's reward is up to the king."

"Father?" Sun Luban turned his eyes and touched his chin and said, "Do you think my father can let me be a general, just like my aunt?"

Zhuge Ke's face stiffened. Sun Quan probably would not be as unruly as Sun Shao. No matter how good his martial arts skills are, no matter how great the contribution is, he can't be a general. However, he immediately thought of a problem. Sun Luban was used to it. If Sun Quan couldn't let her be a general, she would definitely not be convinced. What should she do if she would do a lot of work in front of Sun Quan and shake out all the after the battle? Thinking of this, Zhuge Ke looked at Guan Feng with a guilty heart.

Guan Feng smiled and said, "Princess, don't worry. Your father won't let you be a general. Will your eldest brother still be stingy with a general?"

Sun Luban smiled, sat down next to Guan Feng, and said with a flattering smile, "My sister-in-law said, can I be a general this time?"

"That depends on how much you have gained." Guan Feng glanced at Zhuge Ke and said, "The harvest is great, and the reward is great. Your eldest brother is very fair."

Zhuge Ke's heart moved and understood the meaning of Guan Feng's words. He nodded and got up to leave.

Sun Deng received Zhuge Ke's good news, and he was surprised and happy. What surprised was that Zhuge Ke was bold and surrounded 30,000 people with 20,000 people, which could be said to be extremely dangerous. He was happy that Zhuge Ke actually won and won so beautifully.

"General, Yuan Xun is a rare general." Sun Deng said happily, "Uncle Fa, Yuan Xun is a general."

Xie Jing bowed and said, "Congratulations to the prince for getting a general."

Sun Deng laughed and walked back and forth in the room several times. He remembered something and couldn't help frowning. Xie Jing didn't say a word. He could roughly guess what Sun Deng was worried about, but if Sun Deng didn't take the initiative to say it, it was difficult for him to take the initiative to mention it.

"Uncle, I heard that the Queen Yue has made a lot of efforts in this battle?" Sun Deng put away his smile, twisted his fingers and said, "Do you think they will make some wrong demands?"

Xie Jing had an answer in his heart, but when he heard Sun Deng's question, he still thought about it, and then said, "Wu Yue was originally a family. The king of Yue and the prince were brothers. This expedition to Fu Nan was originally a cooperation, and their contribution was taken for granted." He took a look at Sun Deng and saw that Sun Deng's face was not relaxed. Then he continued, "However, the main force of this battle is still our Wu army, and the main generals are also Yuan Xun and General Lu. The State of Yue is just echoing. His Royal Highness the King of Yue has gone to Funan Bay. There are only Queen Guan Feng and others here."

Sun Deng thought about it for a moment, as if he had realized something.

Soon, Zhuge Ke rushed to Xijuan City in person and said Guan Feng's meaning. Although Sun Deng was very unhappy, he felt that Guan Feng would open his mouth. In this way, although the State of Wu got a false name, it did not get any practical benefits. The food and fodder of the Funan people had been consumed for a long time. The State of Wu also looked at those tattered ordnance. Not eye-catching. However, the opinions of Zhuge Ke and Xie Jing are the same. Now what the prince wants is fame. At this time, it is not a good thing to fall out with Sun Shao. Sun Shao did not snatch Sun Nan, but showed mercy. He took the initiative to leave Sunan and went to Funan Bay in order to give up his credit to Sun Deng. Naturally, he had to take a little more benefit. From the current point of view, it is obvious that Sun Shao wants to fully occupy Funan. Do you still want to rob Funan with him? Instead of this, it's better to give him the prisoners. Anyway, these people will escape back in the end. It's better to betray Sun Shao.

Although Sun Deng was reluctant, he weighed the stakes and accepted Zhuge Ke's suggestion. It definitely does more harm than good to fall out with Sun Shao. He originally went to Qian Tang with the intention of competing with Sun Shao, but he stayed in Qian Tang for half a year, and then stayed in South for more than half a year. He found that no matter which aspect, he was not Sun Shao's opponent, and even his father Sun Quan could not handle Sun Shao, let alone him. Now the brothers Zhou Xun and Zhou Yin are all following Sun Shao. The Zhou family has all moved to Yue, and it is not realistic for him to leave Zhou Yu behind. Although he loved and hated Zhou Yu, he felt that it was very worthless for a woman like Zhou Yu to offend Sun Shao. At present, if he wants to sit firmly in the position of prince, it is very necessary to have a good relationship with Sun Shao.

The rest of the things are easy to do. The most important thing is to block Lv Dai's mouth. Xie Jing took over the errand. He found Lv Dai and said that Sun Deng was willing to leave the position of Southern Taishou to him and give him half of the battle, in exchange for Lv Dai's corresponding support. Lv Dai sent troops to win first and then lost this time. If Zhuge Ke hadn't given him a chance, he probably wouldn't even have a chance to revenge. Now Sun Deng took the initiative to show his goodwill and help him cover up his responsibility for ineffective combat. Of course, he couldn't ask for it. After a little thought, he agreed.

Soon, Sun Deng wrote a good report and asked for contributions to Zhuge Ke and Lv Dai. In the table, he put Lv Dai's credit in the first place, and Zhuge Ke changed from the main general to the second general. At the same time, the above table requested that Chen Shi, the captain of Lv Dai's subordinate, be called Nan Taishou. Lv Dai paid for the peaches and plums, and also put on a table. The bigkua te praised Sun Deng's command Ruo Ding, Zhuge Ke was young and potential, and the potential of a famous general.

Guan Feng received the news and was very satisfied. She offered to discuss the cooperation agreement with Sun Deng. The south is an important economic road. There are a lot of businessmen passing through here, and the annual business tax is a lot of wealth. If Sun Shao can take Funan, then the economic lifeline of Yinan is in Sun Shao's hands. If he doesn't want Nan to make a fortune, he may completely change the business road to Linyi or the sea. Once Yinan loses these businessmen, it will become an insignificant and poor county.

Sun Deng was overjoyed. With Sun Shao's help, Nan would become a money bank for him, and it would be much more convenient to do anything.

The two sides are on the same page.

...Donson City.

Fan Man looked at the heads of Li Yuan and the ten arrows hanging out of the city, and his face turned blue with anger. Sun Shao said that he would fight with him, but he didn't say anything about it. He wanted to take the initiative to attack the city, but in the face of the wall and the soldiers of Yue on the wall, he did not have any confidence. In addition, the Vietnamese reinforcements had arrived and could attack behind his back at any time. He did not want to be attacked when he was attacking the city, so he did not dare to act rashly except for guarding the camp.

He didn't move, but Sun Shao kept making small movements. He first asked Fan Man to withdraw from Dunxun City, saying that he would first bury the Jin Chen people and merchants from various countries who were killed by the Funan people. Of course, Fan Man ignored it. He finally came in. How could he withdraw at this time? When Sun Shao saw that Fan Man ignored him, he hung up the head of Li Yuan and others and told those who survived in the outer city that Fan Man coerced King Jin Chen to assassinate General Cui Qiancui, who helped Jin Chen defend the city, trap King Jin Chen for injustice, and then kill and swallow Jin Chen and so on.

Of course, these words are helpless. Fan Manhe has killed many people, and he doesn't care that some people talk about it secretly. However, Sun Shao's tricks make him very unhappy. He can't fight, and he can't retreat. Sun Shao is protected by a wall and stays in the inner city safely. He eats the reserves of Jin Chen and occupies the king's city of Jinchen. He said cold words slandering Fan Man, but Fan Man was worried about the reduced food bags. If he was not in a hurry, it must be a lie.

Fan Man regretted it very much. If he had known it was such a result, he would not have come to Jin Chen, even if he could return to the Special Pastoral City when Meng Angwan ambushed Sun Shao. Jin Chen's south was occupied by Sun Shao. He was just a little sad, and he was not to the point where he could not live. Now it's good. He is in a dilemma under Dunxun City, and the initiative is all in Sun Shao's hands.

He was vaguely worried that Fan Chang, who was sent to attack the south, was probably also bad luck. Although Fan Chang has always had good news, Fan Chang has not been able to cross the Changshan Mountain, and the two sides are in a stalemate, which is not a good thing for Fan Chang.

I used to be the main army, but why have I become a visiting army now? Fan Man was puzzled. He kept reflecting on what had happened since the conflict with Sun Shao. The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became. He fought for more than 30 years and conquered countless countries. Why was he led by a young man this time? There is a saying in the art of war, which controls people but not people. Now that you are under control step by step, can you still win this battle?

At this time, another news came that Ruan Wu, who stayed in Meng'ang Bay to monitor Sun Shao, was captured by the Vietnamese army, and 2,000 people were destroyed. The Vietnamese army was rushing to Donson under the leadership of the prisoners and had cut off his way back.
