Hello everyone, I am Captain Nemo, welcome aboard the Nautilus, Captain Nemo takes you on a journey through the oceans of knowledge.
In the twentieth year of Jian'an (215), Sun Quan attacked Hefei, triggering the Battle of Xiaoyaojin. Cao Cao's general Zhang Liao (張辽) made a great show of skill in this battle, catching the Wu army by surprise and encircling Sun Quan in the midst of the rebel army. Ling Tong saw that the situation was critical, so he led three hundred soldiers to fight desperately, which allowed Sun Quan to break through the siege, but his own army was completely destroyed. How did Ling Tong fight to the death to save Sun Quan, the captain explained it to you in detail.
First, the birth will be the door
Ling Tong
Ling Tong was the son of The famous general Ling Cao of Sun Wu, so he was deeply influenced by his father since childhood and was aggressive. In the eighth year of Jian'an (203), Ling Cao accompanied Sun Quan to participate in the Battle of Xiakou, but because of the light enemy's advance, he was shot to death by Liu Biaobu's general Gan Ning. At that time, Ling Tong was only fifteen years old and had just come of age. Sun Quan, because Ling Cao was killed in the line of duty, and his son Ling Tong was very talented, let Ling Tong serve as the Sima of other departments and the lieutenant of the Thieves, and also let him command his father's old department.
Ganning
Because Gan Ning was not valued by Liu Biao and his subordinate Jiang Xia Taishou Huangzu, he turned to Sun Quan. Ling Tong deeply hated Gan Ning, and in order to avenge his father's murder, he decided to get rid of him. Gan Ning knew that Ling Tong wanted to harm himself, so he was wary day and night, just not to see him. In order to resolve the contradiction between the two, Sun Quan ordered Ling Tong not to hate Gan Ning, but the effect was not great. In the end, Sun Quan had to transfer Gan Ning to a distant garrison to avoid Ling Tong.
Second, atone for your sins
Sun quan
Ling Tong accompanied Sun Quan in his attack on Shanyue and made a great contribution to the battle to break through Baotun. Sun Quan saw that the large part of the mountain had been pacified, so he returned to the dynasty in victory, leaving Ling Tong and Zhang Yi to besiege the remnants of the mountain in Matun and ordering them to break the enemy within a time limit. Ling Tong, Zhang Yi, Chen Qin and others gathered to drink, and Chen Qin supervised the liquor order. Chen Qin was usually brave and arrogant, so he used the liquor order to tease everyone and punish the liquor for not following the rules.
Ling Tong was very dissatisfied with Chen Qin's move, so he deliberately disobeyed his orders and reprimanded him for being arrogant and rude. Chen Qin was furious when he heard this, so he angrily scolded Ling Tong and his father Ling Cao. Ling Tong listened and remembered that his father had died early, so he was angry and angry, and he did not answer in tears. When the generals saw it, they also dared to be angry with Chen Qin and did not dare to speak, so they had to leave in sorrow.
The late Han Dynasty
Chen Qin saw that Ling Tong was crying bitterly and did not dare to return to himself, thinking that he was afraid of himself, so he intensified his efforts and continued to scold and insult Ling Tong. Ling Tong really couldn't bear it, so he became angry and hacked Chen Qin to death. Then the Wu army attacked Ma Tun, and Ling Tong, knowing that he had committed a felony, decided to atone for his sins with death, so he led his men to fight to the death. Inspired by Ling Tong, the Wu army fought desperately and conquered Matun in one fell swoop. After the war, Ling Tong took the initiative to go to Yousi to collect the crime, and Sun Quan praised him for his bravery and good fighting, and allowed him to atone for his sins.
Third, Xiao Yong is good at war
Liu Table
In the thirteenth year of Jian'an (208), Sun Quan attacked Liu Biao of Jingzhou and launched the Battle of Jiangxia. Ling Tong served as the vanguard, leading dozens of henchmen to reach the Right River in a warship first, beheading the enemy general Zhang Shuo and capturing all his men. Then Ling Tong went back to report the enemy to Sun Quanyu and acted as a guide for the army, leading them forward. At that time, Lü Meng defeated the Jingzhou water army, and Ling Tong took advantage of the victory to capture Jiangxia, and made a great contribution to this victory.
Zhou Yu
Soon Cao Cao attacked Jiangdong from the south, and the Battle of Chibi broke out with Sun Quan. Sun Quan therefore appointed Ling Tong as the Capital of Chenglie and asked him to accompany Zhou Yu to defend against the Cao army. Ling Tong first followed Zhou Yu to repel Cao Cao, and then followed him to attack Cao Ren, and was promoted to lieutenant because of his merits. Ling Tong was close to and accepted the sages in the army, and he valued wealth and righteousness, so he was praised by everyone, saying that he had the style of a national soldier.
Fourth, fight to the death savior
Cao Cao
In the nineteenth year of Jian'an (214), Sun Quan attacked the city of Anhui, and Ling Tong made great contributions in the battle to break the city, so he was promoted to the position of general of Lang Kou and Pei Xiang. Later, Sun Quan learned that Liu Bei had taken Yizhou, so he sent Lü Meng and Ling Tongxi to take Jingzhou and clashed with Guan Yu. In the twentieth year of Jian'an (215), Cao Cao attacked Hanzhong, and Liu Bei relinquished the three counties of Changsha, Lingling, and Guiyang in order to resist Cao. Ling Tong was promoted to the post of Right Governor after taking the Three Counties, and accompanied Sun Quan in attacking Hefei.
Zhang Liao launched a surprise attack on Sun Quan at Xiaoyaojin, causing the Wu army to panic and flee in all directions. Sun Quan was a little frightened when he saw it, so he hurried to find the rescuers. Ling Tong saw that the situation was critical, so he personally led three hundred soldiers to guard Sun Quan and cover his breakthrough. Cao Jun destroyed Xiaoyaojin's pontoon bridge, leaving only a plank of wood on each side. Sun Quan then galloped on horseback and jumped off the bridge to escape. Ling Tong returned to the battlefield and continued to fight the Cao army to the death. In the end, all of Ling Tong's subordinates were killed, and he himself was seriously injured, and it was expected that Sun Quan was safe, so he retreated.
Zhang Liao
Ling Tong saw that the road was dangerous, and there were Cao Jun chasing soldiers everywhere, so he jumped into the river and sneaked in. After Sun Quan escaped, he rested on the ship, saw Ling Tong, and hurriedly sent someone to rescue him. Ling Tong was able to wake up after the efforts of the military doctors and lamented that all his subordinates were killed in battle. Sun Quan listened and comforted him: "The deceased is gone, as long as you are still there, are you still afraid of no one?" Then Sun Quan rewarded Ling Tong, appointed him as a partial general, and let him command more troops.
Fifth, be tolerant and generous
Three kingdoms
Someone recommended Ling Tong's compatriot Sheng Xian to Sun Quan, praising him for being more talented than Ling Tong. Sun Quan listened and said, "As long as he can be like Ling Tong." One night, Sheng Xian went to visit Ling Tong. At that time, Ling Tong had already fallen asleep, heard Sheng Xian coming, and hurriedly got up and went out to greet him. When the two meet, Ling Tong treats Sheng Xian like a good friend, and is not jealous of her at all.
Ling Tong believed that the Shanyue people were brave and aggressive, and could use both grace and power against them and let them serve Sun Wu. Sun Quan therefore sent Ling Tong to appease and requisition Shanyue, and also made the counties and counties obey Ling Tong's orders. Ling Tong was known for his benevolence, and many Shanyue people flocked to him, so he recruited more than 10,000 elite soldiers all the way to Dong Enwei. Ling Tong went to his hometown of Yuhang, where he was warmly welcomed by the county order, so he met with his relatives and friends and died of illness soon after.
In general, Ling Tong was one of the Twelve Tiger Ministers of Jiangdong, Xiao Yong was good at war, not afraid of life and death, especially brave in the Battle of Xiaoyaojin, leading three hundred soldiers to bravely fight Zhang Liao, desperately breaking through, and defeating his entire army, but saving Sun Quan, allowing Jiangdong to continue to confront Cao Cao.
