Chapter 300: The Shangdang Sends Troops

Go straight to the blue sky and catch the sun and the moon, and want to pour the East China Sea to wash the world. ------------ Xu Beihong's self-titled couplet

It is said that Liu Yu is a loyal elder, not only did he not pursue the crime of Liu Bei's two righteous brothers Guan Yu killing Nanlou and Zhang Fei stabbing Qiu Liju to death, but also entrusted Liu Bei with a heavy responsibility, and obtained 5,000 Liaoxi soldiers to guard Mohu County, a suburb of Hongshan. It happened that Liu Yu's son Liu He fell into the ambush of Gongsun Xu of Liaodong, and by chance, Liu Bei assassinated Liu He, who was not on good terms with him.

Liu Yu lost his only beloved son in old age, and the white-haired person sent the black-haired person, and he couldn't afford to be sick at the moment. Liu Yu did not suspect that Liu Bei killed his son, and thought that his son died on the battlefield, and the enemy was Gongsun Xu, so he continued to trust Liu Bei, and handed over the political and military affairs of Liaoxi to Liu Bei with the same surname, so that the original subordinates assisted Xuande.

Lu Chang and the others had already secretly infiltrated Hongshan City, waiting for an opportunity for a while. However, Liu Bei was closely guarded by Liu Yu in the early days, and later became the leader of the army, and he was also very careful in his entry and exit, and did not get the opportunity to hit with one blow.

Liu Beiwen had Yan Rou, Qi Zhou and others to help, Wu Youdun and other Wuhuan and Xianbei cavalry helped, and gradually gained a firm foothold. At the same time, Liu Bei also got a general, named Wu Anguo.

Wu Anguo, surnamed Wu'an, is a descendant of Wu Anjun Baiqi. In the early years, he followed Kong Rong to suppress the Yellow Turban Uprising, during which he once hammered five Yellow Turban generals in one day. The weapon in Wu Anguo's hand is a meteor hammer weighing more than 100 catties, which can also be installed with a long handle and charge into battle in the midst of thousands of horses, brave and invincible, as if entering a no-man's land.

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" describes the Wu'an National Road: "The princes of the Eight Route Army and Horse, all went to one place to discuss, saying that Lu Bu was a hero and no one was invincible." Just as he was thinking about it, the junior colonel reported: "Lu Bu is fighting." "The princes of the Eight Roads each got on their horses and returned to their own villages, and the army was divided into eight teams and lined up in front of Gaogang Mountain. Looking at Lu Bu's cluster of military horses from afar, embroidering flags and beckoning, he came to charge the battle first. Mu Shun, a subordinate of Zhang Yang's army, went out to meet him with a gun, but Lu Bu raised a halberd and stabbed Mu Shun under the horse. The princes of the Eight Roads were terrified. Beihai Taishou Kong Rong's subordinate general said: "I have been favored by Wen Ju for ten years, why not repay him with death?" "Melt it, it is the warrior Wu Anguo under the door, making the hammer, weighing fifty catties. An Guo lifted a long-handled hammer and flew out. Lu Bu waved his halberd to force the horse to meet and fight with Anguo. After more than ten battles, a halberd cut off An Guo's wrist, abandoned the hammer and left. The Eighth Route Army came out together and saved Wu Anguo. Lu Bu retreated. "It is said that the Tiger Prison Pass was cut off by Lu Bu's halberd, and the actual situation is that Wu Anguo was defeated by Lu Bu, was injured and fled, and since then he has been in northern Xinjiang, and there is no return to Kong Rong's troops after the injury. Recently, I heard that Liu Bei was virtuous, so he came to defect.

Liu Bei won Wu Anguo and used it as a guard, and his power in Hongshan became more prosperous, and he ordered people to continue to explore the whereabouts of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and strictly ordered him to see people in life and corpses in death. At the end of the year, Liu Yu's condition worsened, and when the generals saw that Liu Yu had no queen, they all talked about it.

Besides, Chen Long rescued Guan Yu in the jungle that day, and in a hurry turned into the mountain, found a secluded place, and first pulled out an arrow for Guan Gong to heal his injuries. Guan Yu was hit by three arrows in his body, but fortunately he did not hurt his internal organs, but fainted due to excessive blood loss. Chen Long brought wound medicine with him, bandaged Guan Yu to stop the bleeding, and applied the wound medicine, Guan Yu's condition finally stabilized, but he was still very weak. When he woke up, he saw that it was Dragon Ball, although he was very grateful, but he insisted on going to find his eldest brother Liu Bei, Chen Long tried every means to persuade him, and promised Guan Yu to find it as soon as he was injured, and Guan Yu was willing to close his eyes and rest. After a while, he turned over and jumped up, and asked, "Sister-in-law Gan, she is still in Youzhou." In any case, I want to go back to Youzhou to keep my sister-in-law safe. ”

Long Chen felt the unparalleled loyalty of the red-faced man in front of him, secretly praised in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Yun Chang, don't worry, when I followed your troops, I had already settled Mrs. Gan and Zhen Mi together, and with the protection of the master I brought from Qiongya, I would like to sit back and relax." ”

Guan Yu was relieved, thanked a few more words, and silently closed Danfeng's eyes. Zhen Mi's wonderful shadow suddenly flashed in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart.

Chen Long saw that Guan Yu's injuries were healed, and took Guan Yu over the mountains and mountains to the west. Every day, Chen Long checked Guan Yu's wounds and changed dressings, and he was very dedicated, but Guan Yu never said much. In order to supplement Guan Yu's protein and help Guan Yu recover, he grabbed some game for him every day and roasted it for Yun Chang to eat, but he chewed dry food to satisfy his hunger. Guan Yu asked about the destination, Chen Long smiled and said nothing, only saying that he would know when the time came.

It turned out that according to the strategy discussed with Zhou Budo earlier, Chen Long and Lu Chang agreed that if Liu Bei was killed, they would go to Bingzhou to get the party. When the chaos in the north started, Zhou Budo thought that it was the best time to fish in troubled waters, but Chen Long had no soldiers in his hands, and remembered that his recent brother-in-law Zhang Yan had hundreds of thousands of soldiers in his hands, and no matter what his combat strength was, he could just use it to fight a big battle in the north.

As for the direction of the male soldiers, whether it is east or west, Chen Long and Zhou Budo have a slight disagreement. Zhou Budo thinks that the Shangdang will send troops to blitz Huguan, if he succeeds, then Handan and Yecheng are in front of him, while Yan Liang is still on the way back to Jizhou in Qingzhou, Gongsun Zan is still dealing with Wen Chou, Tian Feng and Liyi are separated from Germany, Handan and Yecheng have no famous generals, and they can take the Jizhou Governing Office in one fell swoop and flatten Yuan Shao. After the fall of Yuan Shao, with Yecheng as the center, swept away the remnants of Jizhou, bombed the banks of the Yellow River in the south, strictly guarded against Cao Cao, Lü Bu and Yuan Shu, and cleaned up Gongsun Zhan, Liu Yu and Gongsun Du in the north, and first unified the north of the Yellow River.

Chen Long believes that Huguan is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are three natural canyons in Wuzhi Gorge, Longquan Gorge and Wang Mang Gorge, and it is difficult to fly birds. There are also eighteen plates, Qinglong Pond, and overpass dangerous roads, and the march is very difficult. Therefore, the blitzkrieg is not established, and it is very risky, if it is not successful, the army will be trapped in the valley, and the opportunity to attack Yecheng will be missed.

Chen Long analyzed that only by transporting troops from the Yellow River could he quickly break through the bottleneck and transport Zhang Yan's troops to the periphery of Yecheng. However, Zhang Yan had insufficient ships and limited control over the Yellow River, so if he wanted to attack Jizhou, he had to first control the two ferries of Mengjin and Baima. Mengjin Ferry is adjacent to Luoyang City in the south and the Yellow River in the north, and Yuan Shu has deployed naval troops and ships in Mengjin Ferry. Baima Ferry is located on the south bank of the Yellow River in Jizhou, which is an important north-south passage between Puyang in Jizhou and Chen Liu on the other bank, and is mainly controlled by Yuan Shao's navy in Jizhou. Chen Long believed that Zhang Yan's troops would first go south to suppress Luoyang, seize the Mengjin ferry by surprise, and control the ships, although they could not capture Luoyang immediately, but build strong fortifications around Pishan to steadily resist Yuan Shu, and then use the ships to go down the river and transport troops to seize the Baima ferry. Of course, when the time comes, we must also act at the opportunity, take advantage of the chaotic situation in Jizhou, and use the fastest speed to seize Puyang first, and then Yecheng. If possible, Chen Liulubu on the south bank of the Yellow River may also become his own prey.

At that time, Zhou Budo listened to Chen Long's analysis and had reservations about the Yellow River march. Because the surrounding forces of Yuan Shu, Lu Bu, and Yuan Shao were too many and too strong, I was afraid that they would not be able to cope with it, and finally the two discussed a plan to advance troops by land and water, so they acted according to the plan, and the first step was of course to go to Zhang Yan to get troops first.

On this day, he finally came out of the 100,000 mountains, Guan Yu's arrow wound was just healing, and he had no problem walking continuously. The relationship between Guan Yu and Chen Long is naturally getting deeper and deeper, but they still miss their eldest brother and third brother day and night. When they arrived at a county town, the two took a shower and changed their outfits, Chen Long still did a little makeup, and Guan Yu still didn't recognize him as Chen Long. Yun Chang asked where he was going, and Chen Long only said that he got lost and went to Bingzhou, and it happened that he had an old relationship with Zhang Yan, who was too shou of Bingzhou, and wanted to go to Jizhou first, and then find a way to return to Jizhou. The two asked the locals about the direction of Shangdang, Xiaoxing stayed overnight, and finally arrived at Shangdang five days later.

The ground in Bingzhou has been calm recently, and Zhang Yan has used some of Chen Long's benevolent administration, Siye Binfu, and the people are full of warmth. In the past few years, there have been no local riots and uprisings, and there has been a bumper harvest of grain, so Zhang Yan's strength has been further enhanced, and many of the displaced people have come to the state to operate, the population has grown to the level of one million, and the army has a rather terrible 300,000 people. With the addition of logistics and peripheral personnel, the total number of troops reached 500,000 or 600,000.

Because there was no war in Shangdang, the city defense was not strict, and the two entered the city smoothly. Chen Long settled Guan Yu in the inn, and went straight to the City Lord's Mansion to meet his eldest brother Zhang Yan. Zhang Yan's demeanor was better than in the past, and she was overjoyed when she suddenly saw Chen Long coming in makeup. After Chen Long was overjoyed, he said that everything was okay with Feiyan, and Zhang Yan asked what he meant. Chen Long told the adventure of taking a sea boat to the northern part of the Central Plains in detail, Zhang Yan was dumbfounded, the amount of information was too large, and he digested it slowly.

Chen Long agreed with him to continue to appear as a dragon ball in front of Guan Yu, and Zhang Yan tacitly agreed. Regarding the matter of sending troops, Zhang Yan pondered for a long time, and suddenly stood up and waved his hand and said: "Wenlong, although you are my brother-in-law, you are a person worthy of my follow. Today, by chance, Wenlong came to the party, and I, Zhang Yan, just showed my heart and worshiped the lord. From now on, the lord will point to the east, and I will never fight the west, to help you complete the ideal in your heart, until the world is unified! The lord is above, please accept my Zhang Yan's worship! "Talking about pushing the gold mountain, pouring the jade pillar, and bowing his head.

Chen Long didn't expect it to go so smoothly, stretched out his hand to help him up, and said happily: "Uncle, you and I are both in-laws, and we will also be brothers in life and death on the road to reunification from now on, please hurry up!" Let's discuss sending troops. ”

In the next few days, Dragon Ball incarnated as Zhang Yan's military general, and took Guan Yu with him, preparing to return to Jizhou together. Guan Yu heard that Zhang Yan was loyal to the Han family, and he was very happy, and he was willing to be a young general beside Chen Long. Although the official position is small, it is the official military appointment of the army of the Han Dynasty, which is much stronger than the original horse archers, and Guan Yu is not dissatisfied.

Chen Long and Zhang Yan's deployment arrangements were in full swing, and later Lü Chang sent someone to bring news and secretly reported Liu Bei's ascension to the throne in Hongshan. Chen Long didn't expect that Liu Bei was alive and well, and he didn't dare to let Guan Yu know, so he verbally ordered someone to go back and report the news, and asked Lu Chang to temporarily withdraw to the party meeting.

After March, the spring was warm, Lu Chang had already returned to report, and Chen Long had made full preparations for sending troops. In the spring of 199 AD, Zhang Yan raised an army of 250,000 from Montenegro, starting from Shangdang, and the troops were divided into two routes. One route is Sun Qing as the main general, leading 20,000 troops, Guo Damu, Li Daxian as the deputy general, feints to attack Huguan, occupy the danger, and attract the attention of the Huguan guards. The other road is the main army, with a total of 220,000 people on land and water, with Zhang Yan as the main general, the military division Long Zhu, the deputy generals Zhang Niujiao, Guan Yu, Lu Chang, Huang Long, Zuo Sideburns and Zhangba, Wang Dang and other deputy generals, sent troops to the south, and went straight to Mengjin.
