Chapter 367 It’s a bit ridiculous to go smoothly

In December of the 11th year of Jianxing, the Han army and the Wei army in Yingchuan had been facing each other for three months. More than 100,000 people in southern Yingchuan have all moved back to Nanyang, and some Han troops have even begun to camp on the spot.

And Ma Di's banner is still hanging high in the camp outside Yingyang City, proving that Ma Di is still here.

At this time, Soochow was still extremely calm. Even in Xiakou, there are not so many monks and merchants, and everything is becoming stable.

The Han army in Xiangfan was also slacking off at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a large number of soldiers began to be lazy. But this is normal. Since Xiangfan surrendered to the Shu Han, there has been no fighting here for several months.

The battle line has been pushed to Yingchuan, and this place has become the rear area. Who would be so vigilant?

One day, when General Xiang Chong went to Fancheng for inspection as usual, more than ten ships slowly sailed from the Han River outside Xiangyang City. There were many merchants wearing white clothes on each ship, and they slowly arrived near Xiangyang City.

"Stop comers! Merchants are not allowed to pass now!" The Han soldiers guarding the port discovered that they quickly gathered troops and blocked the port near the port, asking the merchant ships to leave.

A dozen small ships quickly stopped in the middle of the river, and only one small boat slowly sailed over. A middle-aged man who looked like a business leader came with a smile on his face and bowed his hands to the Han army guards.

"Master Jun, we heard recently that due to the war, Nanyang is short of food. We are going to Wancheng to do business, please make it convenient."

While talking, the businessman quietly stuffed a very heavy bag into the guard's hands. The guard was slightly startled, then quickly took it and took a careful look at it. He was immediately delighted.

"Five baht?"

"Hey, Sir, it's convenient for you. We'll rest here for one night and then leave. We'll find you when we come back." The merchant leader promised the guard in a low voice with a smile on his face.

"It won't be Daquan money, it will definitely be five baht!"

Although it is already the middle of the Three Kingdoms era, all three countries have issued new coins. However, even the plain money of the Shu Han Dynasty was not as valuable as the five baht in the Eastern Han Dynasty on the black market.

Even though the five baht thing is out of print, its copper content means that the price of the five baht cannot be low.

Such a large bag of five baht is obviously worth a lot of money, and it is really good to use it as tolls.

The guard hesitated for a moment, then weighed the money bag in his hand, and then nodded with difficulty.

"Hurry and leave tomorrow. General Xiang will be back soon. Don't let others see you."

"Okay, Master, go slowly, Master!"

With the tacit consent of the garrison, more than a dozen merchant ships successfully anchored at the port of Xiangyang. The Han soldiers did not even check their luggage. They were so relaxed from beginning to end.

"These Shu people only care about food but not about fighting. They haven't remembered any lessons."

Returning to the merchant ship, the merchant leader's expression suddenly changed, revealing a somewhat sinister smile.

"We have already suffered a loss once, but we are not prepared at all. The grassroots officers are greedy for money and profit, and their military discipline is not strict. They really deserve their defeat."

"Since Ma Su is also so careless, don't blame us for not thinking of our allies."

That night, in the dead of night, the "merchants" in a dozen small boats began to take action.

Obviously, they are not real businessmen. After all, ordinary businessmen do not carry military crossbows. There are more than 300 elite soldiers hidden in more than a dozen ships, all of whom were formerly under the command of Ling Tong.

This time, Sun Quan obviously had high hopes for another successful backstab. He even sent his only chariot warrior who could fight on foot to board first.

This time, the people responsible for leading the team to ascend first were none other than old acquaintance Ding Feng and general Zhuge Zhi.

At midnight, Ding Feng felt that he was almost done, so he immediately summoned all his soldiers to prepare for action. They took off their white clothes and put on armor, armed with crossbow weapons, quietly disembarked from the ship and launched a sneak attack on Xiangyang.

Most of the soldiers at the head of the city were lazily taking a nap. Three hundred soldiers climbed up using flying ladders and quietly occupied the Xiangyang City Gate. The city guards were quickly dealt with, and the entire process went extremely smoothly with almost no risks.

Until three hundred Soochow soldiers captured the city gate, the Shu army did not notice it. Ding Feng felt a little incredible that the success was smooth.

"Ma Su is much worse than Guan Yu. Guan Yu also knew how to set up beacon towers and build fortified cities. If it weren't for Mi Fang, he might not be able to do it. As for Ma Su..." Zhuge looked at the poorly guarded Xiangyang and couldn't help but sneered.

"Shu Zi'er!"

"Don't be careless!" Ding Feng shook his head. Although it felt incredible, everything went surprisingly smoothly.

Ding Feng then raised fire as a signal according to the predetermined plan to signal the subsequent Soochow navy.

Only then did the defenders of Xiangyang realize that something was wrong, and there was chaos in the city. Soldiers began to come to seize the city gate again, but they were all rejected by Ding Feng, and no one could climb the city.

Ding Feng even captured a few prisoners. After interrogation, he found out that most of the Xiangyang defenders were descended from Cao Wei. These soldiers who live in the north have no military ambitions, and no one is willing to fight to the death for the Shu Han.

With such persistence, Ding Feng successfully occupied the head of Xiangyang City and held on until Lu Xun's navy arrived. Subsequently, the Wu army began to continuously attack the city, and the Shu Han defenders in the city began to collapse.

The two sides fought until the end. The remaining armed forces of the Han army retreated into the inner city and defended the inner city to block Soochow. A city as strong as Jiangling was captured so successfully, which made Ding Feng feel a bit unreal.

"God bless Wu! Ma Su is so insensitive and careless, he deserves to be the second Guan Yu!" Zhuge Zhi saw the flag of Soochow flying on Xiangyang City and laughed beside him.

Veteran Ding Feng frowned, always feeling that something was wrong.

If Ma Su was really so careless, he shouldn't be such a ghost in Jingnan. Ma Su is a person who can see through Han Xuan's false surrender and can also take advantage of it.

Could it be that he has been playing too smoothly in the past few years, so he is as careless as Guan Yu?

Suddenly, Ding Feng glanced at the inner city that had not yet been captured from the corner of his eye, and vaguely saw a familiar figure. However, Ding Feng suddenly turned around and saw that there was no one there, as if he had seen it wrong.

"Is Ma Su really so insensitive?"

"Alright, General Ding, Governor Lu asked me to keep the Shu soldiers who were besieging the inner city and still resisting. You can take most of them to join the Governor in the northern siege of Fancheng." Zhuge patted Ding Feng on the shoulder and smiled. said.

"By the way, I sent someone back to Jiangling to deliver the message. Xiangyang has been defeated, and the main force of the Shu army such as Xiang Chong has been blocked in Nanyang. Let General Sun go up the river and mobilize troops against the already empty Wuling Yidao!"

After saying that, Zhuge Liang left directly to lead his troops to besiege the inner city of Xiangyang where the trapped beasts were still fighting. Ding Feng was left alone at the top of the city to figure it out, but obviously he couldn't figure it out.

At the same time, as news of the capture of Xiangyang spread back to Jiangling, Soochow general Sun Huan quickly emerged in Jiangling. Tens of thousands of Soochow elites sprung up from Jiangling City like bamboo shoots after a rain.

This group of soldiers and horses was obviously well-prepared. They gathered at an extremely fast speed and quickly moved up the river under the leadership of Sun Huan. The front of the soldiers came directly towards the Wuling Yidao defense line.

At the same time, the Jiangling Wu army quickly moved northward by land and launched a large-scale attack on Dangyang and other places in the north. The Wu army in Jingnan also launched an offensive against Wuling. In just a few days, Soochow Wu launched a full-line attack on the east side of Shu Han.

Sun Quan of Soochow was stabbed in the back again!
