Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 642: Xu Lan, the Strong Woman in History Books

On the morning of the day after Sun Quan withdrew his troops from Guangling, Zhuge Liang, who had been anxiously waiting for news at Ruxu Port, received information from Zhang Liao via carrier pigeon from Guangling:

The crisis is over!

Of Sun Quan's 100,000 troops, 15,320 were killed.

More than 4,000 people surrendered.

Now, Qu'a has been successfully withdrawn.

In Guangling, almost all of Zhang Liao's 800 personal soldiers were killed, leaving only three cavalrymen and thirteen personal soldiers alive.

Of Xu Dan's 6,000 troops, 2,560 were killed.

The others had various injuries.

More than 300 people were seriously injured.

Of Xu Rong's seven hundred Flying Bear soldiers, two hundred and thirty were killed.

Zhuge Liang looked at the intelligence and was deeply moved.

The battle between the 6,000 Guangling troops and the 100,000 Jiangdong navy was extremely brutal.

However, being able to achieve such results is already impressive enough.

Zhuge Liang looked towards the direction of Hebei and clicked his tongue twice.

My lord, your vision is truly extraordinary.

No one had ever thought that Zhang Liao could lead an army of 6,000 to suppress Guangling and resist the attack from Jiangdong.

But in the end, only the lord insisted on doing so.

Zhang Liao did not disappoint his lord.

After this battle, no one dared to underestimate Zhang Liao anymore.

During this attack from Jiangdong, neither Guangling nor Lujiang were lost.

It’s a pity about Xiakou Port.

However, there is no way.

News also came from Li Ru and Guo Jia at Xiakou Port.

First of all, Chaisang County of Xiakou Port was indeed very brave under the command of Zhou Yu and Pang Tong.

Secondly, they are also retreating strategically.

At present, Jingzhou Governor Liu Biao, Cai Mao and the other four powerful families were fighting each other, so they retreated strategically, on the one hand, to preserve the navy under Huang Zu's command.

On the other hand, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, Cai Mao and others had to withdraw troops to confront Zhou Yu's Chaisang Army.

They could not possibly watch Zhou Yu's Chaisang army occupy Xiakou in Jingzhou and even threaten the security of Jingzhou.

On the third day, Zhuge Liang received the intelligence report from Zhang Liao of Guangling.

Xudu.

Chancery desk.

Xun Yu, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, Xun You and Xi Zhicai were all busy.

Suddenly, Xun Yu's hands trembled.

Xi Zhicai, who was sitting next to Xun Yu, noticed Xun Yu's movements, leaned over in confusion and looked at the letter of intelligence in his hand.

His pupils suddenly shrank, and he read out loud: "On February 12, Jiangdong's 100,000 troops and Chaisang's 20,000 troops attacked Guangling Hailing Port, Lujiang Ruxu Port, Lujiang Wankou Port, and Jiangxia Xiakou Port."

"Sun Quan led a naval force of 100,000 men and was defeated by Guangling's 6,000 men."

"Sun Quan lost 15,000 soldiers."

"Vanguard General Ling Cao died in battle."

"General Zhou Tai was seriously injured and unconscious."

"Zhou Yu captured Xiakou Port, and more than a thousand men were killed in the battle at Wankou Port."

Jia Xu, Cheng Yu and Xun You, who were busy, also looked over when they heard Xi Zhicai's words.

Cheng Yu said with disbelief: "It's fake, right?"

"An army of 100,000 men against 6,000 men, and they were defeated, with more than 15,000 men killed?"

Xun Yu then came back to his senses, his expression extremely serious.

Looking outside, Xun Yu hurriedly said, "Someone, notify Sikong to come over immediately. There is urgent information in Jiangdong!"

There was a shout from outside.

Xun Yu handed the information to Cheng Yu, took a few deep breaths and said, "The commander of Guangling is called Zhang Liao. When he was in Puyang City, he was still a Lu Xiang under Lu Bu, with less than a thousand soldiers."

"In the battle of Puyang City, he followed Lu Bu and fell into Sikong's empty city plan, and was then defeated by Sikong."

“It’s only been a few years?”

"He was able to take on Jiangdong's army of 100,000 with only 6,000 soldiers!"

“Hebei has so many talented people!”

"If this continues, our situation will only become more difficult." "I heard that Hebei has a two-year plan to recuperate."

“And now, it’s exactly the second year.”

"If we wait until they finish their two-year rest and recuperation before attacking, we will face a serious situation."

"Sikong, come over later. Let's discuss whether we should give up the consolidation and attack Hebei while it is still weak."

Everyone looked at each other.

I didn't expect Jiang Dong to be so incompetent.

Xi Zhicai said: "If it is Jiang Dong who is incompetent, then it is easier to explain."

"What I'm afraid of is not that Jiangdong is incompetent, but that Hebei is too powerful."

Everyone nodded.

February 22nd.

Yecheng.

The hall of government office.

Zhang Sui was sitting in the first seat, looking with a strange expression at the girl lying in the middle of the hall, with her hands and feet tied and her mouth stuffed with a cloth.

Sima Yi stood on one side, looking at Zhang Sui with a smile.

Pointing at the girl, Sima Yi said, "Brother, how about this gift I brought you? This is the eldest granddaughter of Xu Kun, the head of the Xu family in Wu County, Jiangdong, and the newly married wife of Sun Quan's third brother, Sun Yi."

"Sun Yi was killed by me before he could enjoy the beauty of this woman."

"This woman is very pretty."

"Brother, you can experience the beauty of Jiangdong's little woman."

The girl was none other than Xu Lan, the eldest granddaughter of Xu Kun, who married Sun Quan's third brother Sun Yi in Danyang County.

When Xu Lan heard Sima Yi say this, her beautiful eyes were filled with anger, as if she wanted to eat Sima Yi alive.

Although she didn't like Sun Yi, she still married him.

No matter how bad Sun Yi is, he is still her husband.

The second son of the Sima family in front of him was a descendant of a noble family, but he did such a thing as assassinating people.

She also killed her husband.

He even tied me up and brought me all the way from Danyang to Yecheng!

Revenge will be taken sooner or later!
Zhang Sui looked at Xu Lan's beautiful eyes that were glaring at him and coughed dryly.

Isn’t this the Xu family who is famous in history books?
The strong woman who used herself as bait to kill her enemy in order to avenge Sun Yi.

However, in this world today, although Sun Yi was also assassinated, he did not die at the hands of the original historical figure, but at the hands of Sima Yi.

Zhang then signaled to the government office's Tiger Guards to untie the ropes on Xu Lan.

Xu Lan took the cloth out of her mouth with her own hands. With her long black hair loose, she glared at Sima Yi fiercely and said, "Sima Yi, you killed my husband! Moreover, you, a child of an aristocratic family, have no brains."

"Do you think that by killing my husband, you can help Hebei?"

"Big mistake!"

"Although I don't like my husband either, he is the only one who poses a threat to Sun Quan."

"With him here, Sun Quan's forces are dispersed."

"Without him, the entire Jiangdong region would belong to Sun Quan."

Looking at Zhang Sui, Xu Lan said bitterly: "General, you should really suspect Sima Yi is a spy from Jiangdong!"

Sima Yi curled his lips.

On his way back, he realized that he had made a big mistake in his eagerness to make a contribution.

However, at this point, he did not believe that Zhang Sui would execute him.

Zhang Sui glanced at Xu Lan, then at Sima Yi, and said with a smile, "There is no need to sow discord in front of me."

"Although Zhongda made a mistake, it was not a big mistake."

Xu Lan sneered.

No big mistakes?
What a joke!
This time Sun Quan will lead an army of 100,000 to attack.

If Sun Yi were to get involved and share the military forces, the danger from Jiangdong to Hebei would be at least halved.

Now that her husband Sun Yi is gone, Jiangdong has united against the outside world.

Given the current situation in Hebei, subways in Guangling, Hebei and other places will definitely be gone.

But the general said it was not a big mistake.

It seems that the rumor that the general was young and successful is false.

He is like Sima Yi, only the rumor about him being "Dengtu Zi" is true!
Xu Lan was about to mock that the Jiangdong army might have already captured Guangling, Lujiang and other places.

Lu Xun walked in quickly with two bamboo tubes in his hands.
