The Qian Dynasty government's anti-corruption campaign in Jizhou has been launched in a grand manner. On the other side, with the addition of Zhou Ye, the Yan army has built solid defensive lines.
Just a month after the end of the court meeting, after traveling day and night, Jiang Fei has led his five thousand cavalry to the nearest county to Jizhou in Qingzhou - Donglai County.
Jiang Fei and his troops have stopped in Jiangzhou County in Donglai County, deciding to rest and gather information about the Yan army's situation.
At this moment, General Jiang Fei's military advisor Zhao Ming stepped forward and asked, "Sir, we have arrived at Qingzhou. How should we proceed with our march?"
Jiang Fei pondered for a moment, then whispered, "We are just the vanguard. Therefore, we only need to pin down the rebel army here. My plan is to use the high mobility of the cavalry to continuously harass the rebel army. You go down and divide the troops into three teams: two teams of 1,500 people and one team of 2,000 people. The 1,500-person teams will continuously harass the rebel army day and night."
At this point, Zhao Ming raised his own question: "Sir, why not just divide into two teams directly? And why split off 2,000 people?"
Jiang Fei explained, "Our army currently only has a mere five thousand men. If the rebel army were to come out in full force, we would be in great danger. However, when the two thousand men attack our army, it can create the illusion that a large army has arrived, temporarily scaring off the enemy."
After hearing Jiang Fei's words, Zhao Ming suddenly understood. He immediately requested to be the leader of the raiding party.
Seeing his subordinate's bravery, Jiang Fei was overjoyed. He promptly appointed Zhao Ming as the leader of a thousand men, in charge of the vanguard cavalry. Zhao Ming immediately accepted the command.
Later, Jiang Fei called two military commanders and ordered them to lead a thousand troops to harass the enemy from the rear. The next day, Zhao Ming led the front team of 1,500 people and rushed towards Jizhou, while the remaining troops followed at a slower pace.
Soon, Zhao Ming arrived at Zhenning County in Jizhou Changshan Prefecture. Before reaching Zhenning County, Zhao Ming ordered the entire army to charge towards the rebel camp. The goal was not to achieve any gains, but simply to ensure their own safety.
The soldiers immediately charged towards the rebel camp. Upon seeing this, Sun Quan, a major general under Yan State's king, became furious and prepared to take up arms to confront the enemy.
Upon witnessing this, Zhao Ming immediately commanded the troops to turn around and flee without any hesitation.
When Sun Quan had his army ready, he couldn't see Zhao Ming anywhere. Sun Quan looked disappointed as he watched Zhao Ming disappear, muttering, "Are these imperial troops? Why are they so unscrupulous? They shoot and then run, isn't that a thug's way?" He then ordered the generals and soldiers to return to the camp. However, as the generals and soldiers returned to the camp and just took off their armor, Zhao Ming led his cavalry back. Sun Quan, looking in Zhao Ming's direction, grumbled, "How come these imperial troops are back again? Isn't this a thug's way?" While saying this, he picked up his weapon and went after them.
As soon as Zhao Ming saw Sun Quan leading the troops out of the camp, he didn't engage with Sun Quan and quickly fled. The two sides repeated this for two hours, and Sun Quan was like a clown being played with. Sun Quan was furious, threw down his weapon, and cursed, "Disgusting! Are these really imperial troops?" As time passed, the sky darkened, and Zhao Ming gradually disappeared.
Just as the rebels breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to start a fire to cook, another general under Jiang Fei, Zhu Ji, led troops to attack the main camp. Sun Quan had to put down his bowl of rice and lead his soldiers to chase after them. Zhu Ji was even more arrogant, standing in front of the main camp with his sword drawn, angrily shouting at Sun Quan, "Sun thief, dare you come out of the camp for a battle?"
Sun Quan immediately retorted, "You, as soldiers of the court, are resorting to thug-like tactics. Aren't you ashamed?"
Zhu Ji Upon hearing this, simply smiled faintly and retorted, "You rebels against the court are already disloyal and unjust. How dare you bark so arrogantly before the battle? Truly shameless!"
Sun Quan Upon hearing this, instantly became furious and was about to raise his weapon and lead the troops into battle.
When Sun Quan led the troops to charge out, Zhu Ji turned and ran without hesitation. By the time Sun Quan reached the front line, Zhu Ji had disappeared.
Helplessly, Sun Quan had to lead the troops back to camp. But when they were making a fire and preparing a meal, Zhu Ji showed up again. It was the same routine, the same furious scolding. But as soon as Sun Quan led the troops to charge out, Zhu Ji vanished again.
Zhu Ji continued this pattern, charging at the formation when Sun Quan and the others were about to sleep. And when Sun Quan geared up for the assault, Zhu Ji disappeared again.
After this round of turmoil, the Yan State's king and others in the army were exhausted. As time passed by, the sky gradually revealed a lightening color. The rebels stood in front of the main camp, looking exhausted. Before the rebels could recover, Zhao Ming led the army out again. Sun Quan had to lead the troops out of the camp to fight. But just like yesterday, Zhao Ming disappeared before Sun Quan could even engage in combat.
Sun Quan is now like a plaything in the hands of a few people, being played with wantonly.
Zhao Ming and a few others have been harassing Sun Quan for several days. One day, Sun Quan couldn't take it anymore, so when Zhao Ming came to harass him again, he was prepared. This time, Sun Quan decisively attacked and chased after Zhao Ming's troops.
Seeing Sun Quan chasing after them, Zhao Ming could only run towards the jungle. While running, he asked his deputy, "Have you asked the colonel when the reinforcements will arrive? Our few thousand men won't be able to hold them off."
The deputy shook his head at the words, "Not quite sure. According to the captain, they should arrive by the time of Chen today at the latest."
Zhao Ming sighed helplessly, "Then we may not be able to hold off Sun Quan's five thousand pursuers right now."
Just as they were talking, Sun Quan's troops had already caught up. Seeing that he was surrounded, Zhao Ming instructed his deputy, "If I can't break out later, you must lead the brothers out."
The deputy's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he immediately tried to dissuade, "General, please think twice. You are the most important among us! You are the one who should lead us out of this predicament!"
Sun Quan surrounded Zhao Ming's troops. Sun Quan personally stepped forward to persuade Zhao Ming, "General Zhao, how have you been? Have you been having fun these days? How did you end up in such a plight? Have you considered joining under the banner of Yan State's king? I guarantee you will have wealth and glory."
Upon hearing Sun Quan's words, Zhao Ming disdainfully spat at Sun Quan and said, "Bah! Does a traitor like Yan State's king deserve my loyalty?" As soon as he said this, the soldiers around Zhao Ming immediately echoed, "General Zhao is right. How can we pledge our loyalty to a traitor? We live for the court and will die for the court."
Just as the few people were talking, a sudden sound of urgent horse hooves rang out around them. Everyone looked and saw the large banner of the approaching army, with the character "Lu" prominently displayed.
Zhao Ming and the others looked at the banner, immediately overjoyed. His deputy excitedly said to Zhao Ming, "General Zhao, we are saved."
Hearing this, Zhao Ming nodded calmly and murmured, "Let's not get too excited too soon. We don't know yet if the approaching people are friend or foe."
Soon, that army will surround Sun Quan. A horseman will emerge and a general will ask, "What's going on here?" This imposing presence will stun everyone present. Zhao Ming will gather courage, approach on horseback, and greet the general, saying, "I have seen this general. I am Zhao Ming, a captain under General Jiang Fei." Upon hearing Zhao Ming's identity, the immediate general will wave his hand to protect Zhao Ming and the others.
Sun Quan saw this and immediately rebuked, "Who do you think you are, daring to come and take away the prisoners of this general."
The man calmly replied, "I am the deputy general of General Shentu - Lü Zhuo. And who are you?"
Upon hearing Lü Zhuo's words, Sun Quan suddenly felt a chill. Trembling, he said, "I am just a local garrison. There may have been a misunderstanding between us. General, we will leave first." After speaking, he turned his horse's head and was about to leave.
Upon seeing Sun Quan about to leave, Zhao Ming immediately shouted, "General, you cannot let them leave. They are the defenders of Zhenning County." Upon hearing this, Lu Zhuo immediately ordered Sun Quan and the others to be captured. Following Zhao Ming's lead, he met Jiang Fei. Upon seeing Lu Zhuo, Jiang Fei and the others were quite shocked and immediately bowed, "This humble one pays respects to General Lu."
Lü Zhuo helped up Jiang Fei and said lightly, "General Jiang, you have worked hard. Therefore, General Shentu ordered us to rush day and night to come and support General Jiang."
...
The news of Sun Quan's capture quickly alarmed the Prefect of Changshan County, who immediately wrote a letter to inform Yan State's king of the situation.
And Yan State's king also began to mobilize troops to provide support.
