Chapter 277: That Prologue
The return of Zhang Yi is a very important thing for Shu Han, in order to welcome Zhang Yi, Shu Han Junchen took out almost everything he could, just like welcoming the return of a hero.
This is not to say that Zhang Yi is a good strategist or general, his talent is not the most important thing for Shu Han, his return is the most important thing for the current Shu Han.
Since Jingzhou lost Jingzhou, Shu Han is like being a witch in the barbarians, losing soldiers and generals one after another, Jingzhou was lost, Guan Yu Guan Ping and his son, deputy general Zhou Cang, and Governor Zhao Ti died on the battlefield.
Mi Fang Fu Shiren surrendered to Jiangdong and sacrificed the entire southern county, not to mention, Pan Rui, who was engaged in Jingzhou governance, directly sent out the remaining defense map of Jingnan, so that the entire Jingzhou was controlled by Jiangdong's army.
Hao Pu directly sacrificed Lingling, so that the last line of defense in Jingnan was also lost, Lu Xun went on a rampage all the way, and those who dared to resist such as Zhan Yan, Chen Feng and others died without a place to be buried, and in the battle of Jingzhou, although Guan Yu kept most of the reconspiracy, but because of Fu Shiren, Pan Rui and Hao Pu's door-to-door delivery, their losses were as big as ever.
After the deputy general Wang Chong, the governor of Jiangzhou, Li Yan, defected and fled into the Wei State, Shangyong fought a battle, Meng Da, Shen Tan, and Shen Yi directly surrendered to the Cao family, and Liu Xuande's adopted son Liu Feng was defeated and returned to Chengdu and was killed on the streets of Chengdu, and his dignity was lost!
Then after the battle death and surrender, there were also deaths and killings, such as the Hou General Huang Zhong, the hussar general Ma Chao, Shang Shu Ling Fa Zheng, Shu Han Hou Shang Shu Ling Liu Ba, Taifu Xu Jing and so on, as for the beheaded, the deputy army general Liu Feng and Shu Han Jiangyang Taishou Peng Yongnian These two people should be the top priority.
After that, there was a battle of Yiling, which wiped out the remaining veterans under Liu Xuande and the generals of the Xichuan series.
Feng Xi and Zhang Nan died in Jingzhou, Fu Tong and others died on the spot, Ma Liang and Wang Fu finally escaped from Jingzhou, but they were directly folded in the hands of Jiangdong, as for those who surrendered to Jiangdong, it was even more countless, Huang Quan, a general valued by Liu Xuande, surrendered directly to the Cao clan with the Xichuan naval army.
Then Yonghong killed Zhengang, Gao Ding and others killed the guards and Taishou in the county, and directly betrayed Yizhou, and Huang Yuan almost knocked down Chengdu.
This series of events hit Xichuan a little bit really hard to breathe, and not only that, Zhuge Liang and Liu Chan have worked very hard, they have worked hard to make their people live a happier and more stable life, but the fact is that many times, the people under their rule still don't dare to rest too assured, because they are worried that if this continues, Xichuan will completely decline.
At this time, the appearance of Zhang Yi was more like a shot in the arm to Xichuan, which made them a little excited, in the eyes of the people of Xichuan, this means that their bad luck in Xichuan is finally over, and they finally ushered in their good days.
And after Zhang Yi, there are countless soldiers from Xichuan, those soldiers who have been in Jiangdong for several years, at this time there is still a chance to step into the territory of Xichuan again, although there will be a lot less, although most of them will not be the real elite, but as long as there are 20,000 soldiers, Zhuge Liang can use them to conquer Nanzhong, and at the same time clamp each other with Shangshu Ling Li Yan who is far away in Jiangzhou!
But before that, there is one more important thing, that is, Zhang Yi's arrangement.
Before Zhang Yi left Xichuan, he was the Taishou of Yizhou County appointed by Liu Xuande personally, not to mention that Yizhou County was in full swing with Meng Huo and others at this time, it was the simplest thing, if Zhang Yi went to Yizhou County now, I am afraid that with the contradiction between him and Yonghong, they would never die.
Just like Sun Quan really wants to repent, but he can't break his covenant, Yonghong is indeed the Taishou of Yongchang County appointed by Jiangdong now, if Yonghong is killed, I am afraid that the relationship between Xichuan and Jiangdong will also be very delicate.
In addition, Xichuan's army has not yet returned, and Zhuge Liang needs to wait for all the troops to return to Xichuan, and after his training and let them refamiliarize themselves with the battlefield, he can lead them to fight the group of barbarians in Nanzhong.
At this time, after a long confrontation, Xichuan and Jiangdong finally officially reached the alliance, but this is already the second year of Jianxing, and Nanzhong has experienced a full half a year of war, so it is already very difficult for them.
But they have to hold on for at least another year, because Zhuge Liang will completely control this force and completely stabilize the court, and it will take another year, which is very important.
One of the things that Zhuge Liang is most fortunate about now is that Mi Fang, this guy really has a lot of ability, when Liu Chan said about Jiangdong, if he needed to, he could ask his uncle to help, Zhuge Liang was still very embarrassed.
He has always felt that compared to Mi Zhu, who used to be above him, his younger brother Mi Fang is simply overwhelmed, and he has achieved nothing in Jingzhou, and he even sold the Jiangling Heavy Land in Nanjun mercilessly.
Even if you can't hold it, you can't surrender so easily, so Zhuge Liang really looks down on Mi Fang.
Not only did he look down on it, but he even felt that Liu Chan had no need to waste the opportunity in this kind of place, and there was no need to waste it on this kind of person, but for the sake of Liu Chan's very firm attitude, he reluctantly chose to agree, but he did not give hope.
But I didn't expect that he really had this ability, Deng Zhi used the radical method to move Ji Yan to launch the Jiangdong purge that shocked the world, and Mi Fang directly said that after moving Wu Guohou, the general He Qi launched the Qichun War, and directly captured Jinzong and returned to Wu State.
However, Cao Wei, who had just stabilized, began the Licheng Mutiny that swept through Qingxu Erzhou, and the entire Qingxu land was in chaos, and Xuzhou Assassin Shi Lu Qian and Qingzhou Assassin Wang Ling could only jointly send troops to suppress the rebellion and bandits in Xuzhou.
But Licheng is easy to fight, but the rebellion and Yang Fengyin in Qingxu Erzhou are indeed very difficult to do, and Xuzhou Assassin Shi Lu Qian spent a lot of effort to invite back Wang Xiang, but he really has no ability to do it, for the current situation in Qingxu Erzhou, he doesn't seem to have much effect, at least now it seems to be like this.
And this series of things seems to be inextricably linked to His Majesty Liu Chan's uncle Mi Fang, no one knows the truth or falsehood, no one can tell, but in the Qichun War, Cao Xiu, as the general of the Eastern Expedition, had no way to participate, and could only be dragged in the land of Qingxu, which was really aggrieved.
As far as Zhuge Liang knows, now because of the Qingxu incident, the entire Cao Wei has moved again, and now Cao Xiu is obviously unable to take care of both sides, Jiangdong is in front, Qingxu and the rebellion in the two states are behind, and the entire battlefield has been divided.
Qi Chun's prestige in the first battle of He Qi came out again, this time he is no longer just a general in Jiangdong, he has successfully walked out, he is about to become a famous general in the world!
Compared with He Qi, Cao Xiu's shortcomings appeared, even if he was young, he still hadn't experienced too many battles, once there was no reliable veteran as a deputy general, his lack of experience would be magnified!
Now that he is facing this situation, he has no way to continue, and even if he loses Qichun County, Qingxu Erzhou has not improved.
Compared with Guan Yunchang who was powerful in Jingzhou and Cao Zidan who fought Yongliang at the beginning, he was too much worse!
Speaking of Cao Zidan, let's talk about Cao Zidan's sadness now!
It stands to reason that now Qingxu Erzhou is in a mess, and as the first person in the name of Cao Wei, he should deal with this matter as a matter of responsibility.
But now he can't move, this feeling of powerlessness not only embarrasses him, but also makes the Cao Wei court very difficult, because the court must find a way to solve this matter.
Because now He Qi is only stationed in Qichun County, but who can guarantee that He Qi doesn't want to go further?
When Jiangdong conquered Anhui City, it had already opened up the battlefield of Yangzhou West Road, and now it has conquered Qichun County, and almost the entire Yangzhou has fallen into the hands of Jiangdong, and Shouchun has become a little precarious.
Whether it is Cao Xiu or Cao Wei's court, in fact, they know that if Qingxu Erzhou continues to make trouble, if Cao Xiu continues to be dragged down, the next thing to lose is Shouchun, there is no doubt about this.
The clans of Qingxu Erzhou can wait, but the Licheng Mutiny is imminent, and the matter of bandits is even more of a headache, and these two points must be resolved in the near future, otherwise this will be completely chaotic.
And in this case, Cao Zhen really couldn't move, he should have been stationed in Yongliang Land, but because Cao Zhang died, there was no reliable general in the entire Luoyang Defense Zone, so Cao Zhen was left by Cao Pi by his side.
After all, Xiahou Shang and Cao Xiu guarded Jingzhou and Yangzhou, which was still no problem, especially Xiahou Shang in Jingzhou, although Cao Pi had a headache in the treatment of his wife and concubine, but he was very relieved in business, and in this short period of time, he made the population of Xiangyang a lot of enrichment.
Jingzhou Mu Xiahou Shang took the three counties of Shangyong at the beginning, and suddenly used it as a passage to advance to the west for a full 700 miles, and a large number of people in the mountains were recruited, and in a short period of time, there were as many as 2,000 people who came to Xiahou Shang, and this number is still increasing.
All of a sudden, Xiahou Shang's reputation also spread in Jingzhou, which made people have to say that they admire.
But Cao Zhen could only watch his two comrades-in-arms on the southern battlefield, showing off their martial arts and power, and he was dizzy, while he wanted to look at the group of increasingly disgusting families and accuse each other!
Not long ago, Zhenwei General Wu Zhen was ordered to enter the court, as a former confidant of the prince Cao Pi's mansion, Wu Zhen returned to Luoyang naturally to invite your close comrades to eat and drink, and Cao Zhen was among them.
In addition to Cao Zhen, General Zhu Shuo Zhu, who guarded the palace, and Wang Zhong and others were all impressively listed.
Wu Zhen took refuge in the family for the sake of fame and benefits, and willingly treated the family as a pig and dog, which originally made everyone very ashamed, but later followed the right master, and slowly no one dared to bring up this matter.
And Cao Zhen, Zhu Shuo and others are his comrades, and they still know a lot about Wu Zhen's original black history, and Ping Suli takes care of the face of both sides and doesn't say anything.
But Zhenwei General Wu Zhen didn't know if he was stimulated by coming back this time or if he was colluding with those families again, not only did he become a lot arrogant in his words and deeds, but he dared to ridicule a clan general like Cao Zhen.
After Wu Zhen was drunk, he summoned the servants and asked them to give a speech about fat and thin, and among the guests, Cao Zhen was obsessed with fat and Zhu Shuo was thin, these two people had a very good relationship, but letting Wu Zhen do this made their relationship very embarrassing.
And Cao Zhen had no place to vent his anger, seeing this guy giving himself such a chance, where could he let it go, he came up and overturned the table, and wanted to fight Wu Zhen to the death.
Cao Zhen thought that he was an important minister of the clan, and he was ashamed of being teased and angrily scolded Wu Zhen. Cao Hong and Wang Zhong also came out to persuade.
But Cao Zhen can scold the street, and he Wu Zhen does not show weakness at all, although he did not draw his sword, he also pressed the sword in his hand, and scolded Cao Pi for each other's duties, which made the atmosphere in this hall even more embarrassing.
Zhu Shuo stood up to persuade Wu Zhen, but he was also reprimanded by Wu Zhen and returned to his seat. In addition, Zhu Shuo was originally anxious, and the more he thought about Wu Zhen's reprimand, the more angry he became, and in the end he was the first person to pull out his sword and slash on the ground angrily, so everyone broke up unhappily.
This scene is enough to show that Cao Zhen's prestige is not as good as day by day because of the garrison in Luoyang, but he has no choice, who makes Luoyang inseparable from him.
This time Qingxu Erzhou made trouble, Jiangdong raided Qichun County again, Cao Zhen, as a general, had no choice but to continue to stay in Luoyang, and this time it was Cao Pi who went on the expedition.
After resting for probably less than a year, Cao Pi once again chose to drive the expedition in person, this time he wanted to send troops from Xuzhou to Guangling, and then like Jiangdong attacked Guangling, he reversed from Guangling and pushed back to Jiangdong.
This made everyone in the court look a little embarrassed, this kind of Xiang Zhuang sword dance intended to Pei Gong's technique was really a little too clumsy, and many ministers really didn't want to say anything more about such an obvious strategy.
If you really have an opinion on the imperial court, you can say it directly, if you don't listen to it, you can also disobey the yin, if the court sends people to attack you, you can also let Qingxu Erzhou be all over the place, in short, you have a lot of ways, but you can't directly kill officials and rebel in Licheng, it's still so easy to create.
In this case, if Cao Pi doesn't clean up you, who will clean up, of course, because many people are also strongly opposed to this matter, of course they don't dare to oppose Cao Pi's cleaning up of Qingxu Erzhou, they can only pretend to be confused and advise Cao Pi not to raise troops to kill Yunyun.
However, they soon had no chance to admonish, because Cao Pi was frightened and ordered to go down.
"Order Sima Yi to guard Xuchang, and change the title of Sima Yi to Xiang Xiang, transfer the army, fake festivals, lead 5,000 soldiers, and add to the matter in the middle and record the book."
This is Sima Yi's latest appointment, which at first glance, is simply a favor to him, not only let him guard the Jiangdong of Xuchang, but also give him the right to raise the army, fake festivals, lead the army, etc., and also record the Shangshu in the matter.
The two appointments of these three rights do not seem to have any major official changes, but Sima Yi, who had just reached an alliance with Chen Qun, was directly played by Cao Pi, and now Sima Yi not only has military power in his hands, but more importantly, he has robbed Chen Qun of his work!
Few people in the court will keep an eye on their official positions, and most of them will look at what you do, and now Sima Yi has snatched all the work in Chen Qun's hands in one fell swoop, and at this moment, Chen Qun's face is as wonderful as it is.
Sima Yi looked at the hot official position and appointment, and refused to accept the resignation with a wry smile on his face, he knew that even if he resigned, it would be useless, and the current Cao Pi was just like Cao Cao at the beginning, coercing the Son of Heaven to make the princes' conspiracy irresistible.
It's just that what doesn't make sense is that his father Cao Cao used Liu Xie, the emperor of Han Xian, and Cao Pi is himself the Son of Heaven, in terms of power and tactics, even Sima Yi has to say that this guy called Cao Pi has really surpassed his father, which makes people unbelievable.
Sure enough, as Sima Yi himself expected, his resignation not only alleviated Chen Qun's misunderstanding and disgust towards him, but also made Cao Pi start a new round of "trust" in him again.
"I deal with national affairs day and night, and there is no need for a moment of rest. Now I canonize you not to glorify you, but to share your sorrows for me. It was probably this kind of holy decree that appeared in front of Sima Yi, making him look at the holy decree with a more and more sad face.
He knew that he was even more indescribable, and with these appointments in his hands, he felt his brain buzz.
But in the end, he still took over this matter, and he also wanted to see with Chen Qun, whether his Hanoi Sima family was qualified to be the head of this family, what he Yingchuan Chen family could do, why couldn't his Hanoi Sima family do it!
In this kind of thinking between the court and the Chinese people, Cao Pi personally conquered Eastern Wu for the second time, but this time not to mention Cao Wei, even Jiangdong snorted haha, and he didn't even look at him, because not only the Cao family's court saw that Cao Pi was taking the opportunity to deal with Qingxu Erzhou, and it had nothing to do with them at all!
However, this time Luoyang has no Cao Zhang, but there is Cao Zhen, and there is no world-shattering King Rencheng, but there is a Yongliang army under Cao Zhen who has a large army to deter Luoyang.
In addition to the Cao family, Jiangdong is also in full swing to start his own rectification, not long ago in the two battles, although the record of one win and one draw, but he also needs to adjust his situation in order to continue the expedition.
In addition to the adjustment of military affairs, there are also court and local affairs, and the face that the family gave him this time made Sun Quan understand a truth, that is, those loyal civil and military ministers who fought with him and their Sun family in the world, when facing their own family affairs, they will also choose their own interests first.
This kind of enlightenment, in addition to making him understand the reality, also calmed his heart, when Sun Quan, the overlord of Jiangdong, comprehended this kind of thing, the ruthless Sun Quan began to operate it himself, he needs to make a good deal of care for these people under his command, and while the Cao family is now taking care of himself, he must completely stabilize Jiangdong.
Otherwise, in the next attack, even if he Jiangdong can win, then I am afraid that what he will get in exchange is not the glory of his Sun Quan, but the glory of their family, the court of Jiangdong, the Sun family's country does not allow this situation!
This is the situation in the world now, after so many years of conquest against each other, they finally understand a truth, when they want to carry out the next conquest, they must first solve their own internal affairs.
And now Xichuan's internal problem is that there are still two people in Nanzhong, Zhuge Liang and Li Yan, they must hurry up, whoever solves this matter first will have the latest opportunity in the new round of conquest.
Now Zhuge Liang is waiting for the Shu Han army they are going to welcome back to his hometown, and in the chaos of Nanzhong, a new round of transformation has also begun.
In the middle of Yuewang County, at this time, in a certain mountain in Yuewang County, a group of guys dressed like savages are resting, and at the same time, there are many patrols and guards around, and there is also rigor in this kind of casualness, and it can be seen that this is an elite.
"Ah~" Just as everyone was resting, a dull scream came from not far away, and at this time, no one opened their eyes to look in that direction, as if there was nothing worthy of their attention in that voice.
"Uh~"
The screams continued to appear, but they were getting more and more dull, and the slow screams were slowly getting smaller, knowing that the screams were finally gone, and at this time, everyone who had been closing their eyes to recuperate suddenly opened their eyes.
"Ah Ying seems to have solved it!" A one-armed man's face suddenly showed a smile, and then with the support of the woman beside him, he stood up and walked into the depths of the mountains and forests.
Han Long limped on two legs and moved all the way to the depths of the dense forest, and saw a man with an extremely hideous and terrifying face wiping his hands with a piece of fine Shu brocade, and there was a "corpse" beside him that had completely lost its human appearance.
As for the other side, there are two Yiren who look like they should have passed out in a coma, looking at their appearance, and the appearance of not having any scars on their bodies, they should have really been frightened and fainted by Sun Ying's punishment just now.
"How's it going?" After Han Long glanced at it, he no longer paid attention to those Yi people, but looked directly at Sun Ying, who was full of comfort, "Ask something?" ”
"I even asked what they ate yesterday, and they said it very simply!" Sun Ying let out a long breath, "I haven't done it for too long, I'm a little excited by accident, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" ”
After finishing speaking, Sun Ying apologized again and again, but Han Long knew that this guy was not sorry for himself, he was sorry for the guy who tortured him to death.
"Is there something here in Yuewang County?" Compared with Sun Ying's quirks, Han Long wanted to know what they had to face in Yuewang County, and this was the most important thing.
"In addition to the Yi people of various tribes, there is nothing to praise at all, and the most important thing is that in addition to fighting each other, they all obey the orders of Gao Ding, the king of the Yue Yi people, in Yue Wei County, Gao Ding's prestige is above all else, so if you want to make them chaotic, I am afraid it will not be possible."
Sun Ying first dispelled one of Han Long's thoughts, and asked him not to think about using the old method to make a mess of the Yi people in Yuewang County, so it is impossible not to say that it is impossible to make the Yi people completely chaotic, and it is the people of Nanzhong who really suffer.
"One more thing!" After Sun Quan bowed down to the humanless corpse that had been tortured by him, he cut off his head with a knife to ensure that he was really dead, "There is a very special general under the command of Gao Ding, the king of the Yue Netyi people, E Huan!"
Legend has it that this guy is infinitely powerful, not to mention, but also has a bit of a fierce posture, the most special thing is that he is also good at using a Fang Tian painting halberd, this kind of dexterous and technical blade, is really rare, compared to the larger knife and spear, want to use the Fang Tian painting halberd as a weapon, there are really some means.
And this Ehuan's prestige among the Yue Yi people is particularly high, if a certain family is not mistaken, I am afraid that his strength is definitely not exaggerated, from the demeanor of this group of people when they say his name, it can be seen that they are really afraid of this guy.
So, let's be careful, if there is really such a guy under Gao Ding's command, I'm afraid it's also very difficult to deal with, Ah Fu's current old injury has recurred, if it is a strong attack, I'm afraid it's not a good way! ”
Han Long nodded after listening, especially when he heard that Liu Fu's old injury had recurred, his mood was even lower in an instant, he also discovered it recently, Liu Fu's body had completely collapsed, although it still looked majestic, but they all knew that Liu Fu was afraid that time was running out.
The environment in Nanzhong was much worse than they imagined, and Liu Fu, who could have been able to last for two or three years, revealed his physical problems in half a year, and at this time, it was too late for Han Long and the others to find out.
As for the idea of letting Liu Fu go back, he was stifled by Liu Fu as soon as it appeared, he said that he had no time left, no home, no job, no father and no mother, and he really didn't want to die on the sickbed and drag a few spies to take care of him.
Instead of dying on the bed in great pain, it is better to fight to the death and die in Nanzhong.
Because of this reason, no one can persuade Liu Fu, and no one knows how to persuade Liu Fu.
Kuaimeng still has a wife in the rear, I heard that Jiang Ping'er still has his flesh and blood in her stomach, so Kuaimeng still has hope for life, Sun Ying saw the woman she longed for again, and was content to see that she was doing well, Sun Ying still didn't say anything, and the woman didn't say anything, but their intentions, maybe both sides know.
Not to mention Huang Kang, this guy is still young, everything has just begun, and he hasn't lived enough, where can he think about dying.
is Han Long, who has always been called the Tiansha Lone Star, and now he is also his wife, and he can hear the roar of the Hedong lion of Yanji's wife Liu Shen from time to time every day, which makes everyone quite happy.
But Liu Fu couldn't find anyone to worry about, his parents were killed by Lu Meng at an early age, and they didn't leave one after another, relying on the housekeeper and uncle, they ran all the way to Youzhou, hiding like a mouse.
finally met Han Long, and this began a new beginning, but his uncle finally didn't see the day he became famous, so he left him first, not to mention the perennial hard work, the injuries suffered over the years are also a pain for an old man like him.
Sun Ying went back this time, saw the last face of the old man, and also helped him bring the relics back to Liu Fu, a small wood carving, which was carved by Liu Fu's father before his death, and wanted to give it to Liu Fu on his birthday, but he didn't expect that he didn't wait for this day at all, it was already over.
And this unfinished wood carving was handed over to the old man, and after so many years, he finally finished carving, and now he can also complete the sustenance of his own family master, so that this thing can come to Liu Fu's hands.
Liu Tao's death can be said to be the last straw that crushed Liu Fu, from the moment he knew that Liu Tao died, he had no one to care about, and from that day on, Liu Fu ended his life in his heart.
Now in fact, in Liu Fu's view, his life is a torture, physical torture, and mental torture, and he heard a news not long ago that the Guan family wanted to find a husband for Guan Yinping because of loneliness, so that Guan Yinping's husband could help the Guan family survive.
This kind of thing, he doesn't know what it is, and he doesn't know what kind of mood he feels when he knows this kind of thing, but he knows that even if he is a son-in-law, he Liu Fu is not qualified for this!
Taking care of his uncle, he died of illness and was not by his side.
When the woman you love gets married, it's not you around you.
Liu Fu now looked at Han Long and the others who were frowning not far away, and couldn't help sighing, "It's that you are frowning now, but a certain family can't help much."
After sighing, Liu Fu continued to start his inspection, although everyone asked him to rest, but he really couldn't rest, he always felt that if he lay down, maybe he wouldn't be able to stand up in this life.
"I don't know which man Yinping will marry in the end, who is it, so blessed."
The sorrow of Yuewang County is also in Yizhou County, looking at the wave of barbarians under the city, although Kuaimeng is not frowning, but it can be regarded as a frown.
"This group of guys, patience is really strong enough!" Another attack by the barbarians in the south was defeated, and a moment of rest suddenly made the city wall slump, and at this time, the inventory in Yizhou County was running out.
Because the two sides were Gao Ding of Yuewang County and Zhu Bao of Qiqi County, they did not dare to transport military food from the rear.
Although Zhu Bao of Qiqi County and Gao Ding of Yuewang County do not take the initiative to continue attacking, it does not mean that they will not plunder the caravans and pedestrians in the past.
And in addition to food, the most important thing is weapons and arrows, Kuaimeng may still have a little prediction, but the soldiers in Yizhou County, including the boy named Li Qiu, must not have thought that this battle would last so long, so long that they almost forgot why they worked so hard to fight with the group of barbarians below in Nanzhong.
For half a year, they didn't know what the barbarians in Nanzhong below thought, and they didn't know what Meng Shu, who was organizing the army to attack again, thought, but they were really tired and were about to die, there were too many barbarians in Nanzhong, so much that they couldn't finish killing.
"Princesse Kuaimeng!" Li Qiu is already very friendly to Kuaimeng now, after all, he also knows that if it weren't for Kuaimeng's appearance, even if Yizhou County hadn't fallen now, I'm afraid he would have died here.
"Don't talk yet!" Kuaimeng gasped heavily, interrupted Li Qiu's words very unceremoniously, and then drank two sips of cold well water, then looked at Li Qiu again, "What's wrong with your uncle?" He has been fighting with Zhu Bao for so long in Qiqi County, but has he come up with anything? ”
Hearing Kuaimeng ask his uncle, Li Qiu couldn't help but laugh awkwardly, scratched his head and didn't say much.
Seeing Li Qiu's virtue, Kuai Meng couldn't help but sigh, I don't know what Li Hui, who was extraordinarily decisive at the beginning, thought about it, he had been delayed by Zhu Bao for so long, did he want to wait for the end of other battlefields?
But sigh to sigh, he still has a lot to do, and he really can't take care of Zhu Bao's Qiqi County, that kind of place, let Li Hui and others ask for more blessings, anyway, in Kuaimeng's opinion, with Li Hui's ability, even if he can't take Qiqi County, I'm afraid he won't be treated like this!
Compared with the battle in Qiqi County, he was more worried about how he should face the Nanzhong barbarians below, Meng Huo and the reinforcements of the Nanzhong barbarians who rushed over.
"The barbarians are attacking again, prepare!" Just when Kuaimeng had just breathed a sigh of relief, a terrible shout came again, and then countless soldiers immediately came cautiously, picked up the blades or crossbows in their hands, and began to attack under the city wall.
The barbarians are very brave, there is no doubt about this, but the soldiers of the Shu army are not vegetarians, when they have no way to retreat, they begin to show their strength, under the premise of having sophisticated weapons, just relying on the barbarians in the south, it is like shaking them, it is really a little unreliable.
And Kuai Meng, who was commanding in the back, looked at the fewer and fewer arrows, and then looked at the countless barbarian soldiers in Nanzhong who seemed to be killing endlessly, and couldn't help licking his lips, and a very weird smile appeared on his face.
If Han Long and the others were here and saw this smile on Kuaimeng's face, they would definitely feel sad for some people in Yizhou County, because he would only laugh like this when Kuaimeng wanted to kill someone.
"Li Qiu Gongzi!" Kuai Meng suddenly greeted Li Qiu, "Those big families in the city, have you agreed to take out their private soldiers and weapons?" ”
In the early days of the Nanzhong War, when the Nanban siege had just begun to move in earnest, Kuai Meng had already arranged for Li Qiu to do something he was very good at, as the son of Li Hui, and also as one of the sons and brothers of Shu Han, he went to find a group of guys from high-ranking families to ask for some grain, grass, baggage, and armor and arrows.
But looking at Li Qiu's face now, Kuai Meng knew that this guy seemed to have failed, but this was also reasonable, after all, it was not easy for them to save such a large family business, and it would be a little distressing if they were to send it out like this.
Besides, the high-ranking families in the Shu army, which one has nothing to do with Yonghong, if these barbarians really enter the city, with their relationship with Yonghong, I am afraid they will not be treated badly by this group of people or anything, at most give some benefits, and this matter will pass.
But Li Qiu's opening is to live and die with Yizhou County, this is to take their lives, family wealth is their lives, this opening is half a life, can it be repaid in the future?
So Li Qiu was rejected without hesitation, and refused many times!
"Hehe...."Kuaimeng didn't speak, just nodded lightly, and then snorted haha, "There is the largest Di family in this southern city, and they don't give anything?" ”
"That's an old fox, he has been doing business with Nanzhong for generations, and his relationship in Nanzhong is already very powerful, so he will naturally never give it." Li Qiu also sighed, "The rest are either related to the tribes of Nanzhong, or they are related to Yonghong, in short, on the day the city is broken, the most uncomfortable people are just those ordinary people."
When Li Qiu spoke, he was a little embarrassed, but it was also irrefutable.
The barbarians in the south of the city are constantly attacking, and the physical strength and arrows of the soldiers on the city wall are also constantly being consumed, this time it took more strength, they were cool to support until nightfall, they need to thank the barbarians in the south are not used to night fighting, otherwise they will be more difficult to defend.
The moment night fell, the barbarians in Nanzhong finally reined in their attack and slowly retreated, and everyone let out a long breath.
"Li Qiu Gongzi!" Just as Li Qiu was about to go to get food and water, he was stopped again, "It's not very stable tonight, you don't have to leave someone's side!" ”
Kuaimeng said such a sentence faintly, which made Li Qiu a little surprised, and even a little overwhelmed.
"You.... Don't mess around! Li Qiu said to Kuaimeng, "Although a certain family doesn't know what you're going to do, it's probably not a good thing for a certain family to know that you look like this!" ”
"Whether it's a good thing or not, this can't be generalized!" Kuai Meng still had a smile on his face, and then chuckled at Li Qiu and said, "You don't have to say more about the specifics, a certain family naturally has its own plans!" ”
After Kuaimeng finished speaking, he turned around and left, this is the night, just take strict precautions, there is no need for everyone to spend here, of course, maybe this night is not so peaceful.
Li Qiu looked at Kuaimeng, who was slowly leaving, and the ominous premonition in his heart became even more serious.
"This guy, don't be impulsive!" Li Qiu muttered this in his heart, and then continued to do his own thing, he is not a gentleman, he also wants to do some of his own things, and the only thing he can do now is to take care of the soldiers who are desperately killing the enemy in front of him.
When night fell, when everyone was eating and drinking, Kuamon led a man to the south gate of the city, looking at the closed gate and the guards on both sides.
"Ready?" Kuaimeng turned his head to look at the guy who was following him, with a smile on his face, "Remember, there is only one chance, success or failure..."
"In the future, if an adult sees the mother of a certain family, please tell him that his son is not filial, and he will continue to honor her in the next life!" After saying that, the man kowtowed three times!
Seeing this kind of subordinate, Kuai Meng also sighed, then nodded, and said to the soldiers guarding the city gate, "Open the city gate!" ”
"No!" They had just received the order, and looking at this guy's eyes, they couldn't help but feel a little admired, and the person who could die generously was admired after all.
In the dark night, the gate of Yizhou County was opened, and a figure flashed out quickly, and then ran into the distance, seeing that the direction he ran to was the camp of the barbarians in the south.
"Wait until you go to the city wall, don't talk too much!" Kuamon looked at the departing subordinates, and at the same time whispered to the surrounding soldiers, let them leave and prepare to go.
"No!" Without saying a word, everyone saluted and retreated, and as they left, more than a dozen of Kuaimeng's subordinates filled in again, and then replaced them.
Tonight is going to be exciting.
With a smile on his face, Kuai Meng returned to the city wall, he was going to surprise this county town of the Shu army tonight.
In the barbarian camp in Nanzhong, the figure who escaped had already come to the front of the barbarian camp in Nanzhong, shouting loudly in the words of the barbarians in Nanzhong.
"I'm from the Di family of Shu Jun, and I'm here to see Lord Meng Huo!"
"I'm from the Di family of Shu Jun, and I'm here to see Lord Meng Huo!"
"I'm from the Di family of Shu Jun, and I'm here to see Lord Meng Huo!"
shouted several times in a row, and soon he was surrounded by the barbarians in the south, and then looked at him with a little caution, but he didn't act rashly, although now the two sides have played a real fire, but everyone is not stupid, this person who claims to be the Di family may really have some effect.
Soon Meng Shu also came to him, looking at this person who claimed to be the Di family, he couldn't help but show a sneer.
"Kill it, he's fake!"
The spy didn't know how he revealed the flaws, but after seeing Meng Shu turn around and leave, and the Nanzhong barbarians around him were about to do it directly, he couldn't help but be shocked.
However, at this time, his first thought was not to save his life, but to try to say his last words.
"The south gate will be opened by us tonight, if you don't believe it, don't stop us from leaving, the Han army will kill me..."
Before the man could finish his words, he was dismembered by countless barbarians in the south.
Looking at the minced meat on the ground, Meng Yu's younger brother Meng Wei asked with some hesitation, "Big brother, what he said just now..."
"Fake!" Meng Shu said without hesitation, "The Di family is a businessman, he won't do such a risky thing without enough profits!" ”
"But he just said that the Han army was going to kill them..."The spy's words before he died did not move Meng Shu, but he moved Meng Wei.
As Meng Huo's younger brother, he also has great ambitions, of course, this ambition is not to face Meng Huo, but to get ahead, and want others to respect himself like his eldest brother.
It's just that he hasn't had a chance, and now he seems to have found a chance, and he doesn't want to give up for this opportunity.
"Big brother, I can't completely disbelieve what that person said just now, if it's true, won't we lose a great opportunity?" Meng Wei was really not at ease, or he didn't give up.
"If you want to go, go ahead, and a certain family won't blame you!" Where could Meng Yu not understand his younger brother, he snorted coldly, said to Meng Wei, and then turned around and left.
When Meng Wei heard this, he knew that his eldest brother had agreed, and he quickly chuckled, and said loudly to Meng Shu, "Don't worry, eldest brother, my brother will be careful!" ”
After finishing speaking, he hurriedly gathered his subordinates, and then let them eat and drink, and follow him to attack Yizhou County tonight.
And after Meng Shu saw Meng Wei's actions, he only chuckled, didn't say much, and didn't want to say more.
The time soon came, and Meng Wei also took his command to the outside of Yizhou County, waiting for the city gate to open.
He didn't wait long, and soon he saw the city gate slowly open, and a few young people came out of it, and then after walking not far, he bumped into Meng Wei and the others who were lurking in front of him.
As soon as the two sides met, they saw those guys who were driven out of the county town and were directly startled, "You guys are attacking the city?" ”
Before Meng Wei opened his mouth, he heard this sentence and couldn't help but nodded, "What do you mean, why don't you wait for me!" ”
"Humph!" One of them snorted coldly, and then scolded Meng Wei and said, "Waiting for you? I said okay, I'll come back and inform us as soon as I tell you the news, but I haven't seen Brother Qi come back until now, you group of southern barbarians, did you kill him! ”
Hearing this kind of scolding himself for being a Southern Barbarian, Meng Wei wanted to do it at that time, but in the end, in order to get ahead, he held back, and just chuckled, "Don't get me wrong, his matter is just a small accident, I'll wait..."
"We don't care what you want to do, now we have to leave, the city gate is not guarded now, we are out to explore the way, there is no kung fu to talk nonsense with you, either let's fight, or get out of the way now!"
The person in charge directly interrupted Meng Wei's words, and then he was about to leave here with people.
Meng Wei looked at this group of people so arrogant, and originally wanted to teach them a lesson, but when he heard them say this, his eyes flickered a little.
He's already at this point, wouldn't it be ridiculous to fight them now!
Meng Wei stopped the restless subordinates, and then led them to continue walking towards the city gate, hoping that it would be too late now, the kind of action they had just made Meng Wei believe in the authenticity of this matter even more, after all, Meng Wei had never seen such a provocative response, which was completely different from what was said in the history books of the Han people!
Therefore, Meng Wei almost did not hesitate to rush towards the gate of Yizhou County, to fight them to the death, no, to break through this Yizhou County that had blocked them for most of the year!
There is really a gap in the city gate, looking at the inside of the city gate from the outside, it can't help but make people feel frightened, because there is a dead silence inside, but at this time, Meng Wei is so impulsive that he can't tell whether this is a trap or not.
"Rush in! Rush in! Meng Wei didn't care about anything else, so he rushed over directly, and after he broke the city gate, there was a rush to kill, and the first thing Meng Wei did was to rush to the city wall, and then take down the city gate and the city wall.
But just as they rushed in, there was a commotion on the city wall, and at the end of the corridor, the road was blocked by several large shields, and spears rushed out of the gaps, killing Sergeant Minami continuously.
One by one the barbarians in Nanzhong were killed here, which made Meng Wei frown, looking at the attack that was not smooth at the beginning, Meng Wei couldn't help but turn his eyes to the Shu army city.
"Rush in!" Meng Wei yelled towards the inner city, "Rush in directly!" ”
"Roar!" Hearing this, it meant that Meng Wei allowed them to plunder, and the barbarians in Nanzhong immediately rushed out to plunder the rich county town of Yizhou.
But this time they were disappointed again, and before they could start plundering, they saw teams of crossbowmen, and then....
"Kill!" With a loud roar, bows and arrows flew together, and the rain of arrows poured down, falling directly on the bodies of the barbarians in Nanzhong, and immediately took away their lives one by one.
Meng Wei looked at the subordinates who had just charged and were slaughtered by this boundless rain of arrows, and finally knew that his eldest brother was right, at this time Meng Wei had only one idea in his mind, fortunately this group of people did not lock the city gate, otherwise he would not be able to escape.
"Withdraw! Evacuate! Meng Wei roared, and he didn't care about the command that was blocked on the city wall, and killed the barbarian pawn around him, so he ran out quickly.
With Meng Wei's escape, the fate of the remaining Nanzhong barbarians in this city can be imagined.
Looking at the corpses in one place, Kuai Meng slowly walked down from under the city wall, followed by Li Qiu, whose face was full of luck.
"A certain family said that Meng Huo would not be fooled so easily, although he also killed a lot of enemies, but he did not hurt the barbarians in Nanzhong, and the most important thing is that they have been on guard since then."
Kuaimeng just continued to chuckle, "It's not bad to kill so many Nanzhong barbarians. ”
"Hey, I killed more than a thousand enemies, but there are still tens of thousands of them outside.... What are they doing! Li Qiu was taken aback halfway through his words, because he found that a group of soldiers were actually stripping the clothes of those Nanzhong barbarians.
"Clean up the battlefield!" Kuai Meng continued to chuckle, but Li Qiu didn't believe this sentence at all.
"Just clean up the battlefield?" Li Qiu was even more surprised when he saw that the group of soldiers not only stripped off their clothes, but also spread them to himself, and the ominous premonition in his heart became even heavier.
"You.... Don't be impulsive! ”
Li Qiu watched this group of soldiers wearing the clothes of the barbarians in Nanzhong not only pass on their clothes, but also picked up their weapons, and he panicked even more.
"Let's watch the show!" Kuaimeng laughed, then patted Li Qiu's shoulder, and then left directly with the group of "Nanzhong barbarians", and yelled before leaving, "Li Qiugongzi must guard the city gate, don't have an accident!" ”
After saying that, he laughed twice.
Li Qiu looked at the people who left, and just swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
In front of the gate of the Di family's mansion, a group of "Nanzhong barbarians" have surrounded this place, Kuai Meng appeared at the back this time, looked at the closed gate, and directly yawned, "Fight quickly, men, women and children, no one will be left!" ”
"Roar!" After Kuai Meng finished saying this, many "Nanzhong barbarians" also roared, and then rushed directly towards Nadi's house.
The Di family's mansion has been waiting for a long time, since the beginning of the war, they have been on guard against the barbarians rushing in from the south, of course, they are also on guard against some other places, but this kind of thing can be done but cannot be said.
"It's coming!" At the same time as the roar was released outside, Di Wei of the Di family had already snorted coldly, "Prepare to go up!" ”
There are hundreds of soldiers in front of Di Wei, this group of soldiers are all full of fierceness, and at the same time, they are also sharp spears in their hands, and they are also wearing delicate and sturdy leather armor, it can be seen that for this group of people, the Di family should really waste a lot of thought.
But just when they were full of confidence, their gate that they thought was strong was suddenly smashed open from the outside, and then, in the midst of everyone's horror, a group of southern barbarians rushed in front of them.
The reason why they fell was because when the group of Nanzhong barbarians rushed in front of them, they directly took out a bow and crossbow from behind them, and shot the arrows in their hands directly at those private soldiers of the Di family, and then let them die directly in place without even having a chance to charge.
More than 1,000 soldiers, more than 1,000 bows and crossbows, unceremoniously shot the arrows in their hands, in such a small place, there was no place to hide!
When Di Wei saw this scene, he knew that this group of people was not the barbarians in Nanzhong, if the barbarians had this kind of ability and ability, this Yizhou would have been theirs a long time ago, "Rush up and resist!" ”
Di Wei also yelled at the servants behind him, telling them to rush forward as well, and at the same time he made a look at the people around him, and then turned around and left, ready to run.
However, his idea is very good, but his approach is not very good, just when he wanted someone to help him resist the "Southern Barbarian Soldier" in front, he had already come to the back door of his Di family, but when he opened this back door, he heard a very surprised voice.
"Master Di, big night, where are you going!"
With this voice, there was also a knife, a knife that was directly inserted into his heart.
Looking at Di Wei's corpse, Kuai Meng directly showed a sneer, and then waved his hand, "Tell everyone, hurry up, we still have a lot of things to do today." ”
"No!"
In the evening today, there was a very strange phenomenon in the entire Yizhou county and county, that is, a southern and central barbarian army was rampant in the Yizhou county and county, but they did not harass the common people, but they did not let go of those big families.
This night, almost all the wealthy families in Yizhou County were killed, and they didn't even have a chance to resist, because in half a year, Kuaimeng had figured out all their strength little by little, and at the same time, their chances of winning were smoothed.
When Kuamon appeared with countless grains, grasses, and equipment, and told Li Qiu that he would start making arrows with the blacksmiths of the whole city from tomorrow.
Li Qiu said, "You've wanted to do this for a long time, right?" ”
Kuaimeng didn't say anything about this, just smiled faintly.
The battle in Yizhou County may start from this moment, and it will be the real beginning, and it was just a warm-up in Kuaimeng's heart before.
At the same time, Yonghong, who was far away in Yongchang County, finally couldn't stand the harassment of Yongchang County, which was strictly guarded and defended, and that he couldn't kill and couldn't hide, so he retreated from Yongchang County directly on a dark and windy night, and after getting enough food from the Nanzhong barbarians, he rushed back to Yizhou County.
Jiangdong had already given him the news, telling him that the last thing he wanted to see had appeared, and that the people he sent away had not only returned, but also brought back tens of thousands of Xichuan soldiers, all of whom survived when he followed Liu Xuande to attack Yiling, even if he was consumed like this, he still had the strength to fight.
Once these people return to Yizhou, I'm afraid the next thing will be Nanzhong, at this time he can only say that if he doesn't do it again, I'm afraid the next thing is to wait for Shu Han's army to cut off his own head.
So before he was surrounded by the Shu Han army, the first thing he did was to take down Yizhou County, and then lock the gateway to Nanzhong, with his prestige and the support of the Nanzhong barbarians, plus Gao Ding, the king of Yuewangyi, and Zhu Bao in Qiqi County.
They will definitely be able to keep the Shu Han army out of Nanzhong, as long as he can bear it, as long as he can go back, then he will be able to succeed!
Just when everyone was in full swing to prepare to act, Han Long and the others, who were hiding in the deep mountains of Yuewang County, were surprised to find that Liu Fu, who had been in charge of patrolling and guarding, suddenly disappeared.
"A certain family is approaching, a certain family wants to find a hope, if it finds it, it will come back, if it is.... Don't look for it."
Liu Fu left the unclear letter and then disappeared from here, and a group of people looked at the letter and looked at each other, not knowing what he was going to do.
In the end, Han Long put away the letter, and then shook his head helplessly, "Don't care, if this is written by Ah Fu, then follow Liu Fu's wishes!" ”
After finishing speaking, Han Long left without saying more, leaving a group of people a little at a loss.
"Ah~" Just when they were stunned, an extremely terrible scream came out from inside, and it could be heard from the sound that this person was suffering great pleasure.
