Han Xiang

Chapter 335

What Xu Chu aimed at was not Xiahou Dun, but Qin Yi who resisted Chen Lan after the breakup. This person had been to Hefei as an envoy, and it is very likely that he had met Xu Ding or Lei Xu.

If Qin Yi escapes from Zipeng Mountain alive, it is very likely that he will recognize Hao Meng or Lei Xu, and Long Xiang's plan to bring disaster to the east will fail.

Hefei has few generals, except for the commander of the Fifth Battalion, the only generals who can take action are Hao Meng and Lei Xu. So Hao Meng and Lei Xu were the main generals of the two lines of ambush.

As for why Cao Xing and Xu Chu hid under the tree, it was also because their familiar faces were not suitable for battle. Cao Xing blinded Xiahou Dun's left eye and was his mortal enemy. The appearance characteristics are very obvious.

Lu Su originally only planned to take Cao Xing to the expedition. He needed the cavalry battalion to provide him with information, while Xu Chu was specially sent by Long Xiang to protect Lu Su.

The two can't go into battle, they can only hide on the mountainside and shoot cold arrows to enjoy themselves.

Cao Xing shot Xiahou Dun in the shoulder with an arrow, and Xu Chu shot Qin Yi in the back with that arrow.

At the moment when Qin Yi was struggling in pain, Chen Lan decisively swung his knife and cut him off the horse.

Facing attacks from three sides, Cao Jun fled out of the valley in a panic.

After days of fatigue, they couldn't bear it anymore, and when the chaos started, people fell to the ground very quickly, and countless people were trampled to death.

Xiahou Dun was escorted by his own soldiers and rushed on the rampage. They had horses to travel and were not as tired as ordinary soldiers. They quickly rushed through the crowd and rushed to the mouth of the valley.

The valley was relatively closed, and the sound of cries and fighting echoed around. Cao Jun was exhausted physically and mentally in despair, and fell down one after another.

In less than two hours, the valley gradually returned to calm.

Xiahou Dun led [-] soldiers out of Shouchun, and less than [-] finally escaped from Zipeng Mountain.

Chen Lan, Lei Xu, and Hao Meng directly beheaded more than [-] ranks. Except for more than a thousand surrendered soldiers and some lightly and seriously wounded, the rest were trampled to death by collision.

Regardless of whether he was under Yuan Shu's command before or became a bandit later, Chen Lan never won such a big victory, so after the battle, he followed Lei Xu to meet Lu Su, and his excitement could not be expressed to outsiders.

Seeing Lu Su's elegant appearance, Chen Lan couldn't help but praise after seeing the ceremony: "Sir, you use soldiers like a god. I, Chen Lan, are really convinced. I will definitely listen to you in the future."

Lu Su sternly reminded: "Although I commanded the Battle of Zipeng Mountain, the whole plan was agreed by General Long and me. General Chen has to listen to General Long if he wants to listen. Don't forget that he is the master of Hefei."

"Hey." Chen Lan scratched her head and smiled awkwardly, and corrected, "I was too excited just now, and I will follow the lead of General Long from now on."

Lei Xu sees the needle, and clasped his fists to ask for instructions: "There are corpses lying everywhere in the valley, leaving a lot of armor and weapons. Are we going to clean up the battlefield, or General Chen and the others?"

Lu Su frowned and shook his head: "Immediately order all the troops to prepare to leave, and leave the loot and Cao Jun's body where they are. These are general Chen's greetings, and let him notify Sun Quan's people to receive them."

"only."

Seeing Lei Xu lead the order to leave, Chen Lan clasped her fists again and asked, "Mr. Lu, what's next for me."

Lu Su said: "General Chen continues to act according to the plan. You immediately escort the captives to go to Sun He. He will let you stay in Lujiang and stay there, but remember not to go to Jiangdong. Just say that the soldiers miss their homeland in Huainan. I believe Sun Quan will not be weak. Waiting for the hero, discuss the details with Lei Yuanduan (Lei Xu)'s people."

"I can save it." Chen Lan nodded.

The Hefei soldiers were like traveling to Zipeng Mountain. Soon after completing the ambush, they left the valley in the direction of Xiahou Dun's escape, and then went to Hefei along the northern part of Zipeng Mountain.

The Cao soldiers who were escorted to the south mistakenly thought that the army in the opposite direction was chasing Xiahou Dun's men and horses. They said that most of you have two legs, and it is impossible to catch up with General Xiahou.

With the prestige of a great victory, Chen Lan slowly marched towards Shu County in the south with the captives. On the way, he sent envoys to Wan County to report victory to Sun He.

Sun He was shocked when he heard the words. He didn't expect that Chen Lan's vote was so outrageous that more than ten thousand thieves not only destroyed the Shouchun rice fields, but also almost wiped out the enemy in Zipeng Mountain.

If it was the same force, Sun He thought he couldn't do it.

At this time, Huang Yi and Lu Meng led [-] troops to Lujiang. Sun He thought that Huang Yi was Yuan Shu's son-in-law, and he might know something about Chen Lan, so he called them to the prefect's mansion to talk.

When Sun He finished talking about the battle at Zipeng Mountain, Huang Yi immediately froze in place. He didn't believe that it was Chen Lan's doing.

Seeing Huang Yi frowned and said nothing, Sun He anxiously reminded: "General Huang"

"Eh..." Huang Yi was woken up and thought for a while, then hurriedly replied: "Chen Lan was unknown before, I really didn't know he was so capable."

"Could it be that Chen Lan lied about the military situation? Want to get more benefits?"

Seeing Sun He scratching his beard and thinking, the young general Lu Meng was also eager to express his views. At this time, he was young and inexperienced, and Sun Quan sent him with the army mainly for experience.

Sun He was noncommittal, and took a while to analyze: "It's okay if it's fake. If Chen Lan is really so powerful, I'm more worried. If he leads his troops to join Jiangdong this time, if he can't handle it properly, it will be detrimental to Jiangdong, and it will also affect the reputation of the lord. "

Huang Yi is not a general who is used to fighting. Sun Quan sent him to Lujiang with a mission. Seeing that Sun He looked at him with hints in his eyes, he understood it and said: "I have met Chen Lan several times, and this time is for him. Come, the prefect can reply that Chen Lan is stationed outside Shu County, and Ziming and I will lead our troops to meet him immediately."

"Very good." Sun He nodded happily, and encouraged Huang Yi: "General Huang and Ziming will lead the troops first, and I will lead the Lujiang people to live in the nest. If Chen Lan wants to plan the Lujiang River, you immediately retreat to Shu County Defense, even if he came all the way, he wouldn’t be able to afford it.”

Huang Yi asked: "What if Chen Lan really agrees?"

Sun He replied: "Then welcome them to Shu County and settle there, and I will report to my lord to decide whether to stay or not."

"I can save it."

Huang Yi motioned for Lu Meng to leave together.

Two days later, Huang Yi met Chen Lan in the north of Shu County.

Compared with the vague feeling under Yuan Shu's command, Huang Yi found that Chen Lan was very imposing at this time, especially after offering Qin Yi's head.

With the evidence of Qin Yi's head and the hundreds of captured Cao soldiers, the victory of Zipeng Mountain became more and more real.

Just when Huang Yi was surprised, Chen Lan presented another gift, that is, Zipeng Mountain had not yet cleaned up the battlefield. He said that the soldiers under his command were too tired after the battle and could not take away those weapons and armor.

Huang Yi immediately looked at Chen Lan with admiration. On the one hand, he sent Lu Meng to Zipeng Mountain to clean up the battlefield, and on the other hand, he asked Chen Lan to lead his troops to Shu County to rest and recuperate. At the same time, he sent people to Juchao to announce the good news to Sun He.

When Sun He heard the news, he rushed to Shucheng overnight to celebrate Chen Lan's achievements.

At the banquet, Sun He welcomed Chen Lan on behalf of Sun Quan, and asked him to temporarily station in Shu County to defend the Lujiang River, and waited for Sun Quan's arrangement later, saying that he would definitely reuse Chen Lan.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Chen Lan stood up suddenly, holding a wine glass and said sonorously: "I heard that Marquis Wu attacked Shouchun last year, but it was a pity that he failed to succeed. Now that Xiahou Dun was defeated and left with an arrow, it is estimated that there are only three or four thousand defenders in Shouchun. Why not?" Suggesting that Marquis Wu dispatch troops to attack it? It must be decided after a battle."
