Chapter 170: The Warriors of Eastern Wu
The next day, Zhuge Qiao knocked on the door again to wake up Liu Chan.
He got up sleepily and quickly observed the sweet potato seedlings next to his pillow.
After making sure that the sweet potato seedlings were fine, he breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly yawned and sat down and dressed himself.
Mi Fang originally wanted to send a few maids to serve Liu Chan in the room, but Liu Chan walked through the wall at every turn, and he really didn't want others to see it, so he had to do these things himself.
Thinking of "himself" wielding his sword to kill the enemy wantonly in Dynasty Warriors, and looking at his arms that gradually became round, Liu Chan was slightly lost.
"Does the prince really want to go to Wuling with us?
The New Year is approaching, why don't you go back to Chengdu first? β
Speaking of the New Year, Liu Chan's heart moved:
"Brother Aqiao, I won't go back this year, you can go back to Chengdu for me!
First, let's talk about our situation, and second, ask the military advisor and Mrs. Huang for me. β
Zhuge Qiao shook his head and said:
"If the son of the world doesn't go back, how can I go back,
My father ordered me to follow the son of the world to seek great things, and if I went back by myself, my father would not like it. β
"No, no, no," Liu Chan said sincerely,
"Before, I was not thoughtful and forgot about the New Year's Pass,
We have been out for so long, and the Chengdu side has only learned about us and other things through messengers and rumors, so there must be some deviations.
The sons and daughters have fought hard all the way, and they also need someone who can speak well and understand the situation to go back and talk about it. β
Boasting about Liu Chan in front of Liu Bei, Liu Bei must be very happy, that's for sure.
Liu Bei was overjoyed, and he would definitely reward Zhuge Qiao, which made Zhuge Qiao even more grateful to Liu Chan for lifting up.
"Qiao thank you so much,
But...... In this way, who goes to Wuling with the prince? β
Zhuge Qiao didn't go, Jufu was of course the best candidate.
But now Ju Fu and Ding Li are undergoing Yu Ban's training, and Liu Chan is not good to disturb at this time-
In the last water battle, although Ding Li won, his poor performance in the battle made him unacceptable.
In particular, he rushed blindly, causing most of the original water bandit brothers who defected to Liu Chan with him to be buried in the cold river, which caused Ding Li's confidence to suffer a big blow.
After the war, he has been smiling and actually working hard, either pestering Chen Shi and Pang De to learn tactics, or following Yu Ban to understand military affairs.
Seeing that Ding Li, a guy from a water bandit, is working so hard, he is naturally not far behind.
In the past few days, the two of them have obeyed Yu Ban's orders and slowly practiced their subordinates, which made Yu Ban also feel a sense of accomplishment.
Liu Chan pondered for a long time, and suddenly thought of a suitable candidate:
"Tell Mr. Zhongxiang to come with me!"
"Uh, this...... Is this okay? Zhuge Qiao was quite humble.
Yu Fan should now be regarded as completely taking refuge in Liu Chan.
Sun Quan soon sent his family to say that he had severed relations with Yu Xuan.
This made Yu Fu breathe a sigh of relief, but also very disappointed.
After all, he had begged Liu Chan to save Sun Quan.
"No problem, Mr. Zhong Xiang must be the right person.
And that Pan Jun is not easy to deal with, ask Mr. Zhongxiang to go with me, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. β
Zhuge Qiaoxi said:
"Also, the son of the world is like a god, and I believe that Pan Chengming will not dare to embarrass the son."
Can't?
Not necessarily.
When Liu Chan watched this section of Jingzhou in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the most indignant thing for him was Mi Fang's surrender without a fight, and the second was Pan Jun's operation later.
Pan Junzi Chengming, is the cousin of Jiang Wan, the future pillar of Ji Han,
Liu Bei trusted him very much, and let him serve as the governor of Jingzhou (Jingzhou did not arrange another driver, and the governor was the second-in-command), and he had been stationed in Linyuan, the governing office of Wuling.
His image in the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms is extremely glorious, and he is also an important figure who can be ranked with Zhuge Jin under Sun Quan's account in the future, and he has won Sun Quan's trust.
However, the reason why he gained Sun Quan's trust was also very simple.
When Sun Quan attacked Guan Yu, in order to appease the people of Jingzhou, he personally went to Pan Jun's mansion to invite Pan Jun, who was "unwilling to surrender", to come out of the mountain, and immediately named him the lieutenant general of the auxiliary army and awarded him the troops.
After that, Pan Jun killed his old colleagues, and successively killed Xi Zhen, the northern governor of Lingling, and Fan Ling, who was engaged in Wuling, and made great contributions to Sun Quan's pacification of Jingzhou.
Later, he stayed in Jingzhou for a long time, crusaded against Wuxi Man, and made great contributions to Sun Quan, and the two became sons and daughters.
Sun Quan's trust in him is second only to Zhuge Jin, and even above Buqi.
Every time he reads this, Liu Chan is angry and evil rises from his heart to the side of his guts-
Jingzhou surrendered so many people, and he was the only one who killed his old colleagues as soon as he defected to Sun Quan.
That's too positive, isn't it?
Hearing that he had a conflict with Ding Feng, Liu Chan had to go out immediately even in the middle of winter to meet this important minister of Eastern Wu who had established his historical position with the blood of his comrades.
Β·
The reason for the conflict between Pan Jun and Ding Feng is also very simple.
When Ding Feng fled victoriously, he coerced a large number of Changsha people with grain, traveled all the way to the west, and asked Pan Jun to send troops to support.
Pan Jun didn't dare to lead the army into the territory of Dongwu at this time, and he had been watching from the wall.
Fortunately, Changsha borders Wuling, and although these 100,000 people walked hard, it only took ten days to reach the territory of Wuling, which can be regarded as a victory.
But Wu General Lu Dai is not a vegetarian.
He had already killed Ding Feng four times in a row and didn't mind killing Ding Feng again.
Seeing that Pan Jun had no sign of sending troops to support, Commander LΓΌ Dai commanded 2,000 sailors, known as 50,000, and forcibly attacked Longyang in Wuling.
This time Ding Feng was on fire.
You've killed Lao Tzu four times and still chased after you?
Catch the delicious food and don't put the chopsticks?
Ding Feng didn't say a word, and ordered his subordinates to occupy Longyang and start a big battle with Lu Dai there.
The big war was, of course, won by Ding Feng one-sidedly,
After all, they have an army of 100,000 people, and it is too terrifying to help the old and the young to charge, and it is not something that those Wu troops who lack food and clothing and suffer from the epidemic can withstand.
But this big victory caused trouble for Ding Feng-
In order to fight against Lu Dai, he opened Longyang's arsenal and distributed weapons to a group of hungry people.
This made Pan Jun furious.
Wuling's arsenal is also open as soon as you say it?
Lao Tzu and Guan Yu are both talking and laughing, you don't say hello to a partial general, you enter the city and open an arsenal, and you also requisition Longyang's fishing boats,
Are you and I Pan Chengming engaged in this governance fake?
So Pan Jun, who was still in Linyuan and didn't dare to move, immediately mobilized 3,000 Wuling defenders and surrounded Ding Feng in Longyang City.
Ding Feng, an old oilman, has always been known for his high emotional intelligence.
When he heard that Pan Jun was angry, he immediately sent someone to beg Pan Jun for mercy.
Ding Feng said in his letter to Pan Jun that the prince used a rough person like me Ding Feng to fight for fun, and he had to rely on a person of insight like Pan Jun to really fight.
The letter is also very carefully written.
As soon as Ding Feng shows that he is the son of the world, you Pan Jun does not give Ding Feng face, but you also have to give the son of the world a face.
Second, Ding Feng vaguely indicated that the record of repelling the Wu army this time could be given to Pan Jun.
The sedan chair carried people, and Pan Jun also praised Ding Feng for doing things.
Originally, things could be fast-forwarded to Pan Jun's commander Ding Feng to repel Dongwu, and everyone rejoiced in the plot of the New Year.
But at this time, the fatal epidemic broke out.
Many of the people brought by Ding Feng were infected with the epidemic, and some people in Linyuan were infected with the epidemic, and the scale of the epidemic began to expand rapidly, and everyone fell into a panic.
Faced with this situation, Pan Jun demanded that Ding Feng hand over all the grain and be dispatched by him to calm the panic.
After careful consideration, Dante refused Pan Jun's order.
He thought that these people under his command were all for food, and followed him all the way from Changsha.
When the epidemic gradually rises, take away all their life-threatening food and hand it over to the unified jurisdiction of the above, rumors will definitely spread, and it will be difficult to control 100,000 people if they fry the pot at that time.
Pan Jun was furious,
He scolded Ding Feng for causing trouble, first resentful of Eastern Wu, and then made 100,000 victims to affect the good situation in Wuling.
Now he is still holding on to the grain and refuses to hand it over, it is obvious that this is preparing for a rebellion.
As a result, Pan Jun decisively led the army to attack Ding Feng.
Many of Ding Feng's subordinates have already been sick, and Ding Feng is a pawn, and he doesn't want to fight with the locals in Jingzhou.
After hesitating for a long time, Ding Feng chose to kneel and kowtow to Pan Jun in front of the two armies, begging Pan Jun for forgiveness.
Pan Jun laughed, and his heart was like this.
Seeing that Ding Feng kowtowed sincerely, Pan Jun also showed a celebrity demeanor,
He walked up to Ding Feng with a sneer, admiring Ding Feng's expression of wagging his tail and begging, which felt very funny.
But in the next moment, Ding Feng suddenly burst out and punched Pan Jun in the lower abdomen, and the painful Pan Jun vomited blood!
"Pan Gong is in poor health, and everyone here listens to my orders,
Whoever dares to disobey has asked me Ding Feng's big axe first! β
