Life of the characters
Young and famous
Ling Tong's father, Ling Cao, was a brave young Xia. When sun Qichu was in the army, he often took the lead in the army. Shou Yongping, Ren Yongping's chief, galloped through Shanyue, and the crafty men also converged. Later, he was promoted to the captain of the broken thief school. Later, he went to Sun Quan to unify the army and follow Jiang Xia. Lingcao entered Xiakou first and killed Huang Zu's pioneer. The light boat goes alone, and the arrow is shot. The book of Wu recorded that Gan Ning was good at shooting and killed Ling Cao. Ling Tong was 15 years old at that time, and most people praised him. Sun Quan died of state affairs with Ling Cao. He worshipped Ling Tong as the commander of other departments, and led his father's soldiers on behalf of his father.
Heroic Festival
Later, Sun Quan attacked the mountain bandits and returned to the army after breaking Baotun, leaving 10000 people in Matun (both Matun and Baotun are in Jiayu County, Hubei Province). Ling Tong and Zhang Yi besieged the city and set a date for the attack. In advance, Ling Tong and Chen Qin got together to drink. Chen Qin was a tough man. In order to supervise the sacrifice of wine, he bullied the people present, and the penalty for drinking was not in accordance with the rules. Ling Tong didn't look up to him for bullying people and contradicted them face to face. Chen Qin scolded Ling Tong and his father Ling Cao. Ling Tong shed tears and didn't answer, so everyone left the table. Chen Qin drank too much Angry and abusive on the road, he couldn't bear it any more, so he took a knife to cut Chen Qin and died a few days later. On the day of attacking Matun, Ling Tong said, "I can't thank you if I don't die." He encouraged the soldiers to attack with swords and arrows. The side he attacked was destroyed immediately, so he marched in and defeated the enemy. After the battle, Ling Tong joined the army. But Sun Quan said that he fought bravely and redeemed his sins.
Advance bravely
In the 13th year of Jian'an (208), Sun Quan went to Jiangxia again. Ling Tong was the vanguard. He took a boat with dozens of athletes who had the closest relationship with him. He was often dozens of miles away from the army. He went to Youjiang, killed Huang Zu's general Zhang Shuo, and captured the whole crew. He came back to report to Sun Quan and led the army to speed up the advance. The Navy and army all gathered together. At that time, LV Meng defeated the enemy's water army, and Ling Tong took the enemy's city first, so he won a great victory. Cao Ren, who was appointed as the commander of Chenglie by Sun Quan, defeated Cao Cao in Wulin with Zhou Yu, and then attacked Nanjun, was appointed as the school commander. Although he was in the army, he was still kind to the wise, close to the scholars, despised money and righteousness, and became a national scholar whom he admired at that time.
Gan Ning, the former enemy of Ling Tong who killed his father, defected to Sun Quan. Lingtong resents Ganning. Ganning is also on guard against Lingtong and tries to avoid meeting him. Sun Quan ordered Ling Tong not to take revenge on Gan Ning. Once they had a banquet in Lvmeng's residence. After drinking, Ling Tong danced with a knife. Gan Ning said, "I can dance with two halberds." Lu Meng said: "although you can, it's not as clever as my dance." So he separated them with a sword and a shield. Sun Quan knew what Ling Tong meant, so he let Gan Ning lead the troops to settle in banzhou.
Bloody battle
In the 20th year of Jian'an (215), he was promoted to be the general of Zhongying and the Prime Minister of peiguo. He followed LV Meng to capture Liu Bei's three counties of Changsha, Lingling and Guiyang. After seizing the three counties, he returned to Hefei from Yiyang and became the right governor.
At that time, Sun Quan decided to withdraw from Hefei. The front soldiers had already set out. Wei general Zhang Liao and others suddenly rushed to the north of Xiaoyaojin. Sun Quan asked the front soldiers to turn back. However, the troops had gone far and couldn't come back for a moment. As a result, Ling Tong and his 300 soldiers were surrounded by Wei troops. It was very easy to save Sun Quan from the encirclement. Sun Quan and Gan Ning raced to Xiaoyaojin, but the enemy destroyed the bridge, leaving only two long boards. Fortunately, with the help of Gu Li's whip, Sun Quan quickly jumped across the bridge. Lingtong turned back to fight, and all the people around him were killed. Lingtong was also injured and tried to kill dozens of enemy soldiers. It was only after Sun Quan was out of danger that Lingtong was willing to retreat. However, the bridge was broken. He dived into the water in armor (because Lingtong is a diver and does not come out of the water, which shows that Lingtong has a good breath holding ability. The soldiers of the Wei army could not see Ling Tong, so they could not shoot arrows at him). After he swam to the south bank, Ling Tong was very sad because he died, and he wept bitterly in Jinzhu.
On the way out, Sun Quan had already arrived on the ship, and suddenly saw Ling Tong come back alive. He was surprised and overjoyed. Ling Tong was sad that his relatives died in the war, and no one came back. His grief was beyond control. Sun Quan dried Lingtong's tears with his sleeve and said to him, "Gongji, the one who died is already dead. As long as you are there, are you afraid of no one? " Ling Tong was seriously injured, so Sun Quan left him on board and helped him change all his clothes. Thanks to Zhuo's good medicine, his wound survived. When he came back, he became a partial general and doubled the number of his soldiers.
It is often recommended to Sun Quan by a fellow townsman named Sheng Siam of Lingtong, saying that his personality is noble and his moral integrity is better than Lingtong. Sun Quan said, "it's good to be like Lingtong." Later, Sheng Siam was summoned. He came in the middle of the night. Although Ling Tong had gone to bed, he put on his clothes and went into the room hand in hand. Ling Tong loved good people and was not jealous.
The pain of parting
Lingtong thought that most of the people in the mountains were strong and strong, and they could be brought back by means of grace and power and inducement. Sun Quan asked him to go east to collect them, and ordered his city to supply all the materials Lingtong needed before reporting. Ling Tong always cherished his soldiers, and the soldiers liked him. In this way, he called more than 10000 elite soldiers. After passing through the county, he went into the office and saw the officials holding the three editions. He was respectful and courteous, and loved his old friends. Ling Tong was 29 years old when he was about to go out. Sun Quan gets the news, pats his bed and gets up. He can't stop his grief. He cuts down his meal for a few days. When he mentions Lingtong, he starts to cry and orders Zhang Cheng to make a memorial for Lingtong.
Ling Tong has two sons named Ling lie and Ling Feng. They are only a few years old. Sun Quan adopted them in the palace and took care of them as his own children. When a guest came, he called them and said, "this is my tiger." When he was eight or nine years old, he ordered Ge Guang to teach them to study and ride a horse once every ten days. He also remembered Ling Tong's merits and made Ling lie Marquis of the pavilion and handed over Ling Tong's soldiers to Ling lie. Later, Ling lie was relieved of his official duty and led by Ling Feng.
