The Three Kingdoms Voyage

Chapter 270 Pirate Empire Fame and Strength

If the arrival of the Destroying Fengying Battalion relieved the pressure on the soldiers of the Wu State, then the participation of Sun Luban and the Feihu Camp made the soldiers of the Wu State feel great pressure, and this pressure quickly became a motivation.

If it is said that the princess has gone to battle, then what reason does he have to escape?Could it be that a dignified seven-foot man is not as good as a woman, and she has to protect herself?If you just quit like this, what face will you have to say in front of other people in the future?
Chen Shi's shout aroused the blood in the hearts of the Wu soldiers. They followed Chen Shi and raised their knives and yelled "Princess is mighty", and rushed up again without thinking about their own safety. Unprecedented strength erupted from their tired bodies. They waved their hands. With the weapon in his hand, he killed the Funan people in a crazier manner.

The Funan people's charge seemed to meet the waves of a boulder. Although they were full of momentum, they could hardly shake the boulder.

The hundred-foot-wide battlefield is like a changing coastline. Wherever they meet, there is splashing blood. One by one soldiers fell down, and more soldiers rushed forward. They swore to the death and fought for every inch of ground.

Sun Luban was full of murderous intent, and after several years of hard training, she finally had a chance to show it. She opened her almond eyes, and the saber made of cold iron in her hand slashed bloody flowers one by one, beheading Funan soldiers one by one in front of her. Soon, her whole body was stained red with the blood of the enemy, but she had no time to take a look, roaring, and rushed forward unstoppably.

Bo Yan and Gaia tightly guarded her sides, and on the outside of them was the Destroying Front Battalion led by Ding Feng.Ding Feng didn't dare to be careless. If Sun Luban was injured, he would be sorry for the queen's confession and the king's trust. He could die by himself, but he could not let Sun Luban die.With the most brave personal guards, he rushed forward and beheaded all the Funan soldiers who seemed to be able to cause harm to Sun Luban.

Funan soldiers are still pouring in, but they can no longer move forward. The Wuyue soldiers are like an insurmountable obstacle, blocking them firmly. No matter how many people they rush up, it is difficult to shake this obstacle. .

A wall of corpses was quickly piled up in front of Sun Luban, and the blood flowing freely soaked the bloody ground under his feet into the mud, making it very difficult to walk.Sun Luban was also wearing cowhide sandals, with bare feet, both feet were full of blood and slippery, not only uncomfortable, but also seriously affected her movements. Taking advantage of the gap, the Funan soldier tore off his shoe, and smashed his head on the face of a rushing Funan soldier.The soldier thought it was some kind of weapon, and subconsciously raised his arms to cover the front door and block the sandals, but was kicked in the heart by a small foot kicked in front of him.He suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, turned over and flew upside down, and fell to the ground with a plop. Before he could get up, he was stepped on by his companions a few times, his eyes went dark, and he lost consciousness.

What remains in his last memory are two white legs and a pair of little feet covered in blood and mud.

Standing on the command vehicle, Guan Feng watched Sun Luban fighting in the formation, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Sun family really has a tradition of producing warriors. Not only men are good at fighting, but even women should not be underestimated. Big tigers are as their name suggests, In the future, I will be no less than you, Auntie."

Sun Shangxiang chuckled, and said without humility at all: "That's needless to say."

Guan Feng smiled slightly, looked at the situation on the battlefield, and said: "The Funan people have lost control and their morale has collapsed. It is time to give them the last blow and make them surrender. Otherwise, our losses will be great."

Sun Shangxiang nodded: "The trapped beast is still fighting, it's time to stop."

Guan Feng waved his hand, and the flag soldiers beside him waved the battle flags in their hands. Ten strong and strong men waved their muscular arms and beat the big cowhide drum.After receiving the signal, the drums sounded on the left and right sides 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 flanked, their forward momentum was interrupted again. Arrow Rain, hearing the morale of the Wuyue Allied Forces screaming like a rainbow, completely collapsed. They knew that no matter how hard they tried, they had no chance of surviving.

Fan Chang sat on the back of the elephant blankly, watching the crazy battle formation, all thoughts were lost, all ambitions were gone with the wind at this moment, even life and death became no longer important.He looked at the cloudless sky, and his mood was surprisingly calm, and he actually experienced that kind of peaceful and joyful state of mind.

It's over, it's over.A self-mocking sneer appeared on the corner of Fan Chang's mouth, and he thought of Fan Zhan.Although Fan Zhan was not his real brother, Fan Zhan was the king's favorite general just like him. Fan Zhan had fought more battles than him, and his father had always valued him more. When he heard that Fan Zhan was defeated and died, he While regretting, there was also some disdain, thinking that Fan Zhan was nothing more than that, but now he knew that Fan Zhan's defeat was not because of his incompetence, but because Wu was too strong and the people of Wu were too cunning.They dug holes everywhere and led his [-] army into death step by step.

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu to be heard on the noisy battlefield. Something like a pipe, shouting something loudly.Fan Chang listened intently, but couldn't hear anything. Just as he frowned, he saw ten huge monsters suddenly running out of the battle formation in front of him, shining brightly and catching people's eyes.Fan Chang was very surprised. When he took a closer look, he realized that there were ten war elephants, but they were all covered in gleaming armor, which looked like a god descending.A wooden house is carried on the elephant's back, but the wooden house is now open, revealing the soldier sitting inside, who also holds the same pipe in his hand.

The battlefield suddenly fell silent. Almost all the Funan soldiers looked at the ten shining war elephants, and they were full of doubts. When did the people of Wu have war elephants?
The people on the elephant shouted something, waving the colorful flags in their hands from time to time, and then the soldiers of the Wu army on the opposite side also shouted. Fan Chang heard it clearly this time, and they shouted in Funan dialect:

"Whoever descends shall be spared death!"

There was a commotion on the battlefield, like a breeze blowing through the dead water, many soldiers turned their heads and looked at Fan Chang who was standing on the back of the elephant.Originally thinking that they would die for sure, they suddenly discovered that there was still a chance of life, so naturally they dared not let it go easily, but they couldn't put down their weapons if Fan Chang didn't give the order to surrender.

Fan Chang gave a wry smile, he knew that even if the battle had reached this point, he didn't want to surrender, and no one would follow him to fight desperately, and he would probably end up being killed by the soldiers trying to survive.Under the longing eyes of the surrounding soldiers, Fan Chang waved his hand and ordered to surrender without much hesitation.

After a brief silence, cheers erupted on the battlefield.

After half a day of fierce fighting, more than 3 Funan soldiers died, more than 8000 were killed, more than 5000 were injured, and more than [-] war elephants were lost. With no hope of breaking out, Fan Chang accepted the advice of the Wu and Yue coalition forces and surrendered.

Zhuge Ke breathed a long sigh of relief, stroked his forehead and sighed. He knew that he had created a miracle. The Wu army with varying combat strength of more than 5000, with the cooperation of 60 Vietnamese troops, defeated many with less, He defeated the [-] Funan army cleanly and neatly, captured more than [-] Funan people alive, and more than [-] war elephants. This kind of victory can be called brilliant, enough to make him jump into the ranks of famous generals.

Zhuge Ke knew how his victory came about. Without the strong support of the Yue Kingdom, it would be impossible for him to win this battle based on those pits alone. Although Fan Chang will suffer a lot, he is likely to break through the interception Organize a counterattack, with the only [-] elite troops in his hands, he will be the one who will fail in the end, not Fan Chang.So while he asked someone to deliver the victory report to Sun Deng in Xijuan City, he rushed to Guan Feng's camp to express his thanks. As soon as they met, he bowed down and said, "Thank you, Queen, for your great support."

Guan Feng smiled, and stretched out his hand to signal him to stand up: "Yuan Xun is indeed a general, well-planned, commanding an army of tens of thousands, no less than a veteran general, and his future achievements will be limitless. It seems that I want to remind my king that in the future Don't play against Yuan Xun."

Zhuge Ke was somewhat complacent, but also very ashamed, and hurriedly said modestly: "How dare Ke accept the queen's false praise. Without the strong support of the queen, how could Ke have achieved such a great victory. The queen is the first to win this battle. One merit. Ke asked himself that he would not dare to confront the queen, let alone go to the tiger beard of His Royal Highness King Yue."

Guan Feng giggled, invited Zhuge Ke to take a seat, ordered someone to serve wine, and said in silence for a moment: "Yuan Xun, if you think we still have some credit for this war, just mention the princess, and don't mention anything else. gone."

Zhuge Ke was stunned for a moment, and looked at Guan Feng with some surprise. Seeing that Guan Feng's expression was sincere, and it didn't seem like a hypocritical refusal, he couldn't help being a little curious.He hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Dare to ask the queen, but do you have any worries?"

Guan Feng took a sip of his wine and nodded: "Yuan Xun, to tell you the truth, you are clear about Wu Yue's situation. My king does not want to have any conflicts with Wu Yue, nor does he want people to think that Yue State is a threat to Wu State. Or have any plans for Nichinan and Jiuzhen. As the queen of the Yue Kingdom, I don't need any military achievements, so..."

Zhuge Ke pondered for a moment, he was also worried about sharing credit.This battle was won, of course his contribution is not small, and Sun Deng's contribution is not small, but if it reaches Sun Quan's ears, it may change in the middle, relying on the help of Yue State to win this battle One battle will invisibly weaken a lot, and maybe it will have the opposite effect.It’s just that Zhuge Ke knew in his heart that the help of the Yue Kingdom was the key to winning this battle, especially in the end, if there were no Feihuying and Defengying to help, and if there were no ten war elephants to hold their ground and persuade them to surrender, the Funan people would not It's really hard to say that it will fight to the end.

It is impossible to obliterate the contribution of the Yue State, but if the report is truthful, then the matter will be very variable. Now Guan Feng mainly proposes to downplay the contribution of the Yue State, which can be said to have solved a major problem for Zhuge Ke.Zhuge Ke was very grateful, but he was not too happy to get carried away. He hesitated and said, "In this case, let the queen pick the spoils first."

Guan Feng smiled, Zhuge Ke is a smart man. "Give me all the captives and war elephants in Funan, and give you all other supplies. In addition, I hope the new Rinan prefect is someone I know well. I, Yue Kingdom, don't want to seize Rinan County, but I also don't want to come to a sitting tiger."

Zhuge Ke frowned. These two problems are a bit tricky. The first one is easy to handle. Anyway, he has the final say on the number of prisoners. The second one is troublesome. Even Sun Deng couldn't decide.He thought for a while, and suddenly understood that the reason why Guan Feng said she didn't want military exploits was actually to advance by retreating. She didn't want fame, but benefits. Nearly [-] captives and dozens of war elephants, what a fortune this is! .

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

"That's good." Guan Feng didn't force it.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Sun Shangxiang and Sun Luban walked in talking and laughing.Seeing Zhuge Ke, Sun Shangxiang smiled reservedly, but Sun Luban strode over and patted Zhuge Ke on the shoulder heartily: "I helped you this time, how are you going to thank me?"

Zhuge Ke's shoulder was painfully patted by her, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily. Although he was very unaccustomed to Sun Luban's intimate actions, Sun Luban was a princess, and he didn't dare to express anything other than flattered.

"The princess's reward, of course, must be decided by the king."

"Father?" Sun Luban rolled his eyes, stroked his chin and said, "Do you think my father can make me a general, just like my aunt?"

Zhuge Ke's face froze, Sun Quan probably wouldn't be as unruly as Sun Shao, and Sun Luban couldn't be a general no matter how good his martial arts were and how great his contributions were.But he immediately thought of a question, Sun Luban is used to lawlessness, if Sun Quan can't let her be a general, she will definitely not be convinced, and when the time comes to show off in front of Sun Quan and tell the whole story of the battle, then what? manage?Thinking of this, Zhuge Ke looked at Guan Feng with a guilty conscience.

Guan Feng smiled: "Princess, don't worry, your father won't let you be a general, will your elder brother begrudge a general?"

Sun Luban grinned, sat down next to Guan Feng, smiled flatteringly and said, "Then sister-in-law said, can I be a general this time?"

"That depends on how big your harvest is." Guan Feng glanced at Zhuge Ke: "The reward is the big reward. Your eldest brother is very fair."

Zhuge Ke's heart moved, he understood the meaning of Guan Feng's words, nodded knowingly, got up and said goodbye.

Sun Deng was surprised and delighted when he received Zhuge Ke's victory. What surprised him was that Zhuge Ke was so bold that he surrounded 2 people with 3 people. so pretty.

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

Xie Jing bowed and saluted: "Congratulations to the crown prince for being a general."

Sun Deng laughed loudly, walked back and forth in the room a few times, and frowned when he remembered something.Xie Jing didn't say a word, he could roughly guess what Sun Deng was worried about, but Sun Deng didn't take the initiative to say it, and he couldn't take the initiative to bring it up.

"Shu Fa, I heard that the Queen of Yue contributed a lot in this battle?" Sun Deng put away his smile, twisted his fingers and said, "Do you think they will make some unreasonable demands?"

Xie Jing already had an answer in his heart, but when he heard Sun Deng's question, he still thought about it, and then said: "Wu Yue is originally a family, and the king of Yue and the crown prince are brothers. This expedition to Funan is originally a cooperation, and it is only natural for them to contribute their efforts. Yes." He glanced at Sun Deng, saw that Sun Deng's face was not relaxed, and continued: "However, in this battle, the main force is still my Wu army, and the main generals are also Yuan Xun and General Lu. The Yue Kingdom is just echoing. The Yue King His Highness has already gone to Funan Bay, only Queen Guan Feng and others are here."

Sun Deng pondered for a while, as if he had realized something.

Soon, Zhuge Ke went to Xijuan City in person and told Guan Feng what he meant. Although Sun Deng was very unhappy, he felt that Guan Feng was talking too loudly. In this way, although Wu Guo gained a false name, there was no real benefit. After fishing, the food and grass of the Funan people had already been exhausted, and the state of Wu didn't like those shabby weapons.However, Zhuge Ke and Xie Jing had the same opinion. Now the crown prince wants fame. It is not a good thing to fall out with Sun Shao at this time. Sun Shao didn't snatch Ri Nan over. South, went to Funan Bay to give credit to Sun Deng, so naturally he wanted to get more benefits.From the current point of view, it is obvious that Sun Shao wants to take over Funan Kingdom. Do you still want to go to Funan with him?Instead of this, it is better to give him the captives, anyway, these people will escape back in the end, it is better to sell Sun Shao as a favor.

Although Sun Deng was reluctant, he weighed his interests and accepted Zhuge Ke's suggestion.Falling out with Sun Shao definitely does more harm than good.He originally came to Qiantang with the intention of competing with Sun Shao, but after staying in Qiantang for half a year, and then staying in Rinan for more than half a year, he found that no matter which aspect he was, he was not Sun Shao. Even his father Sun Quan can't handle Sun Shao, let alone him.Now that brothers Zhou Xun and Zhou Yin are following Sun Shao, and the Zhou family has all moved to Yue, it is not realistic for him to keep Zhou Yu.Although he had a love-hate relationship with Zhou Yu, he felt that it was very worthless to offend Sun Shao for a woman like Zhou Yu.Right now, if he wants to secure his position as the prince, it is very necessary to have a good relationship with Sun Shaola.

The rest is easy to handle, the most important thing is to keep Lu Dai's mouth shut.Xie Jing took over the job, he found Lu Dai, and expressed that Sun Deng was willing to leave him the position of Nichinan prefect, and hand over half of the battle achievements to him in exchange for Lu Dai's corresponding support.This time Lu Dai sent troops to win first and then lose. If Zhuge Ke hadn’t given him the chance, he probably wouldn’t even have the chance to take revenge. Now Sun Deng took the initiative to show his favor and help him cover up the responsibility for his ineffective combat. Of course he couldn’t ask for it. He agreed.

Soon, Sun Deng wrote the victory report and asked for credit for Zhuge Ke and Lu Dai. In the list, he put Lu Dai's contribution first, while Zhuge Ke changed from the main general to the second general. Request that Chen Shi, the school lieutenant under Lu Dai, be the governor of Rinan.Lu Dai reciprocated, and also made a list, boasting that Sun Deng was determined to command, Zhuge Ke was young and promising, and had the potential of a famous general.

Guan Feng was very satisfied when she received the news, and she offered to discuss the relevant cooperation agreement with Sun Deng.Nichinan is an important economic artery. There are many merchants passing by here, and the annual business tax is a fortune.If Sun Shao can win Funan, then Nichinan's economic lifeline will be in Sun Shao's hands. If he doesn't want Nichinan to get rich, he may change the business route to Linyi or Haihai. Once Ninan loses these businessmen, it will change. into an insignificant poor county.

Sun Deng was overjoyed, with Sun Shao's help, Nichinan would become his treasury, and it would be much more convenient for him to do anything.

The two sides hit it off.

……

Dunson City.

Fan Man looked at Li Yuan and the heads of ten archers hanging out from the top of the wall, his face was livid with anger.Sun Shao said that he would fight him, but he didn't say the date. He wanted to take the initiative to attack the city, but he didn't have any confidence in facing the city wall and the Yue soldiers on the city wall.In addition, the reinforcements from the Yue Kingdom had already arrived, and they might attack him from behind at any time, and he didn't want to be attacked by someone during the siege, so he didn't dare to act rashly except for guarding the camp.

He didn't move, but Sun Shao kept making small moves. He first asked Fan Man to withdraw from Dunxun City, saying that he would first bury those Jin and Chen citizens and businessmen from various countries who were killed by the Funan people. Come in, why are you willing to leave at this time.Sun Shao saw that Fan Man ignored him, so he hung up the heads of Li Yuan and others, and told the surviving people in the outer city that Fan Man coerced Jin Chen Wang Wujiu to assassinate General Cui Qian and Cui who had come to help the Jin Chen people defend the city. It is unjust to trap the king of Jin and Chen, and then kill people to silence him, swallow Jin and Chen and so on.

These words are of course helpless to Fan Manhe, Fan Man has killed many people, and he doesn't care about some people's gossip secretly, but Sun Shao's tricks make him very unhappy, he can't fight, he can't retreat, Sun Shao has a city wall to protect , staying safely in the inner city, eating Jin Chen's reserves, occupying Jin Chen's royal city, and slandering Fan Man with sarcastic remarks, while Fan Man is worried about the dwindling food bag, so there is no hurry That must be deceiving.

Fan Man regretted it very much. If he had known the result, he would not have come to Jinchen, even if he failed to ambush Sun Shao in Meng'ang Bay and returned to Temu City.South of Jin Chen was occupied by Sun Shao, he just had a hard time, not to the point where he couldn't survive, but now, he was in a dilemma under Dunxun City, and the initiative was entirely in Sun Shao's hands.

He was faintly worried that Fan Chang, who was sent to attack Nichinan, might be more or less fortunate. Although Fan Chang kept receiving good news, Fan Chang had not been able to cross the Changshan Mountain, and the two sides had fallen into a stalemate. a good thing.

I was originally the main army, why have I become a guest army now?Fan Man was puzzled.He kept reflecting on what had happened since his conflict with Sun Shao, and the more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became. He had fought wars for more than 30 years and conquered countless countries, but why was he led away by the nose this time by a young man?There is a saying in the art of war, to control people but not to control others. Now that I am controlled every step of the way, can I still win this battle?

At this moment, another news came that Ruan Wu, who had stayed in Meng Ang Bay to monitor Sun Shao, was captured alive by the Vietnamese army, and the entire army of 2000 horses was wiped out.The Vietnamese army is rushing to Dunson under the leadership of the captives, and has cut off his way back.
