Chapter 736: Jiangdong Tiger Minister Appears
It is April, the first month of spring, and now it is Qingming Festival. The weather in Luzhou has begun to become changeable. It may be sunny one second and cloudy and rainy the next.
At this time of year, no matter it is a prosperous city, a quiet and scattered village, a mountain with dense forests, or a rushing river, they are all shrouded in hazy mist and rain.
At this moment in Luzhou, not only is the weather changing rapidly, but the situation within the state is also changing rapidly.
Ever since the outstanding Chinese people in Luzhou joined forces to occupy the four counties of Cangshan, Tianwu, Tiansuo and Wanyue, they have been met with desperate resistance from the Luzhou governor who led a large army.
He gathered the remaining troops from the two counties, a total of 70,000 troops, to resist the Buddhist's misleading words and to defend against the river bandits on the water.
The river bandits here naturally refer to Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin.
At this moment, Li Yinzhi led a group of Buddhist masters from Amaterasu Temple to meet with Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin to discuss countermeasures against the stubborn resistance of the Luzhou governor and a group of officials.
Zhou Tai sighed and said, "Now we are facing 70,000 soldiers and horses. Although we can capture the two counties by force, I am afraid we will suffer heavy losses."
"Now the Jiangdong navy under my command and the monks of the martial arts academy under Yinzhi's command only have a total of 25,000 soldiers and horses, which is still a little less."
"When the governor of Luzhou learned of our plan, he was not idle either. He had already organized people to reinforce the city walls. Now the towns in the two counties are all high and walled, and we don't have enough troops. What should we do?"
Li Yinzhi was also quite troubled. He frowned slightly, and the pattern between his eyebrows was twisted together.
Jiang Qin was straightforward and said directly: "Hmph, big brother, I think we should attack by force. We can't delay because of lack of manpower. I heard that the outstanding people sent by the lord to Jiangzhou have surpassed us and successfully captured Jiangzhou."
"If we continue to delay like this, I'm afraid we will be overtaken by more outstanding people, and our position in the lord's heart will only fall further behind."
After these words were spoken, everyone fell into an unusual silence.
Zhou Tai seemed unwilling to give up. He gritted his teeth and said, "In that case, we will attack tomorrow and take over the entire Luzhou at all costs. What do you think?"
Li Yinzhi nodded in agreement.
Just as Zhou Tai was preparing to deploy and count the number of people, his personal guards rushed over and said excitedly: "General, there are two people outside who want to see you. They say they are your old friends. Can you arrange a meeting?"
Zhou Tai didn't know who the visitor was, but he decided to meet him anyway, so he asked his personal guards to bring the person in.
Soon, two veterans followed the personal guards and appeared in front of everyone.
After Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin saw the faces of the two people clearly, they stood up excitedly and said in a voice with a hint of excitement: "Old generals, it turned out to be you. I hope you two old generals can forgive me for not coming to greet you."
Li Yinzhi looked at the person who came with a curious and inquiring look.
I saw the veteran on the left, standing there like a steady mountain, with the heavy majesty of years and wars.
He is tall and strong, with an upright posture. Even as he grows older, his back is still straight. Every step he takes is steady and powerful, and there seems to be a faint echo when he steps on the ground, highlighting his aura that should not be underestimated.
Looking at his face again, he was weathered but resolute. His thick eyebrows were like mountains dyed with ink, slanting into his temples, revealing a fierceness that was intimidating without anger; his tiger eyes were like cold ponds, deep and sharp, with wisdom accumulated over the years, as well as the courage and ruthlessness of being on the battlefield for a long time, as if he could see through all the conspiracies and enemy defenses; on his cheeks, there were wrinkles carved by the years, which were medals left by countless battles, recording his bloody battles on the battlefield.
And his silver beard, like frost and snow in winter, fluttering gently in the wind, added a bit of vicissitudes and majesty to him.
He wore a bronze helmet on his head with a red tassel erected on the top, swaying gently in the breeze like a burning flame, adding a bit of heroic spirit; the edge of the helmet was carved with exquisite animal patterns, the lines were strong and powerful, revealing a mysterious and majestic aura, as if a mysterious power was surging in it.
He was wearing a thick black brocade robe embroidered with golden cloud patterns, which flickered faintly under the sunlight.
The brocade robe was covered with a suit of fish scale armor. The exquisite scales were closely connected, sparkling with a cold metallic luster, like a solid shield that could resist the enemy's swords and spears.
Name: Cheng Pu, courtesy name Demou
Weapon: Sea-covering Abyss Spear
Skill: "Water Control and Warfare Manual"
Faction: Human (Military)
Potential: Condensing the Military Spirit
Cultivation: Peak of the Third Realm Purple Mansion Stage
Brief introduction: Cheng Pu, courtesy name Demou, was a native of Tuyin, Youbeiping. He was a general under Sun Jian in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and one of the three generations of heroes of the Sun family in the Eastern Wu. Cheng Pu was the oldest among the generals of the Eastern Wu, and was respected as "Cheng Gong" by people. He was the leader of the Twelve Tiger Ministers of Jiangdong.
In his early years, Cheng Pu served as an official in the prefectures and counties. He was good at answering questions and had many strategies.
Cheng Pu once followed Sun Jian to fight against the Yellow Turban Rebellion, to fight against Dong Zhuo, to kill Hua Xiong and defeat Lu Bu; after Sun Jian's death, he helped Sun Ce to pacify Jiangdong. When Sun Ce was defeated and surrounded, Cheng Pu bravely and prudently rescued him from the siege; after Sun Ce's death, he assisted Sun Quan together with Zhang Zhao and others, and fought against the bandits in Jiangdong, making outstanding contributions.
In the Battle of Chibi, he and Zhou Yu served as the left and right generals respectively to defeat Cao Cao, and then defeated Cao Ren in Nanjun. After Sun Quan divided Jingzhou with Liu Bei, Cheng Pu was again appointed as the prefect of Jiangxia, and was transferred to the rank of General Dangkou. He died soon after.
At just one glance, Li Yinzhi's eyes suddenly brightened. Even Zhou Tai could not compare with the aura of this veteran.
Look at the person on the right. His figure is as tall and straight as a pine tree, majestic and awe-inspiring, showing the demeanor of a great general.
The lines on that battle-hardened face were as if carved by a knife or an axe; the thick eyebrows were like ink-dyed ridges, slanting into the temples, revealing a fierce heroic spirit; the eyes were as deep as a deep pool, yet flashing with a sharp light that could see through everything, as if able to see through the enemy's conspiracies and tricks.
The bronze skin glows with a healthy luster in the sun, revealing the vicissitudes and heroism of years of experience.
He wore a red gold helmet inlaid with jewels. The red tassel on the top of the helmet looked like fire, rustling in the wind, as if it would burn away the haze in the vast river and sky.
He wore a scarlet battle robe embroidered with golden cloud patterns, which fluttered in the river breeze like a burning flame; over the robe he wore a suit of fish-scale armor made of fine steel, the armor plates flashed with cold light, and made crisp sounds when they collided, as if telling of his glorious military exploits; around his waist he wore a black python-patterned belt inlaid with round gems, which added a bit of majesty.
He wore a long sword at his waist and black combat boots, and his whole body aura was calm and determined.
