Chapter 422

Liu Cong had long expected that Ma Chao and Zhang Lu would not get along, and Zhang Lu was inclined to surrender to Cao Cao, which Ma Chao could not accept. So as early as after hearing that Cao Cao had broken through Yangping Pass, he sent a letter to Wei Yan, asking him to accept Ma Chao, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, no matter what Ma Chao's purpose is, his hatred for Cao Cao will not disappear.

Ma Chao came to vote depressedly, of course he didn't expect Wei Yan to treat him well, he just hoped to be able to bless the opportunity to make a comeback. And he is also forty, and he can be said to have experienced all things in the world in terms of IQ, and he has a lot of experience in martial arts. Hate only hated not being born more than ten years early, seeing that Cao Cao has become bigger, and even Liu Cong is about to dominate Jiangnan, he is at the peak of his life, but he has nothing to do, this is the biggest sorrow.

Hearing that Liu Cong had an order to come, Ma Chao finally became a little excited, but soon he was a little unhappy. Liu Cong has already been promoted to Ma Chao by the imperial court as the general of the expedition to the east. This is very high in the military commander sequence. When Ma Teng Ruchao was an official, he was only a guard lieutenant, and Ma Chao, who stayed in Liangzhou, was just a partial general. At present, most of the generals under Liu Cong are miscellaneous generals, and Xiang Sizheng is the first of a first-class heavy general. It is undoubtedly for the sake of Ma Chao's face that he was once a prince.

Of course, since he is a general of the Eastern Expedition, as the name suggests, Liu Cong asked Ma Chao to leave for Chaisang afterwards, because this general was needed to contribute on the way to the Eastern Expedition. At the same time, Pang De was promoted to a rebellious general, and led Ma Chao's entourage to follow Wei Yan to guard Baishui Pass! Liu Cong's hand is something that ordinary people can't do. But Liu Cong knew that Ma Chao in history had not surrendered sincerely for a long time after returning to Liu Bei, and it can be seen from his tone that the five tiger generals were the only ones in front of Xuande, and after Xuande called, the others were either called lords or big brothers.

It wasn't until he was intimidated by Zhang Fei again that he honestly changed his words. Liu Cong is six or seven years younger than Ma Chao, so naturally he doesn't expect Ma Chao to die for himself quickly, but he must get him to his side, away from Liangzhou, away from his subordinates! When they arrived at Chaisang, Gan Ning, Guan Yu, Liu Pan, and Zhang Jaw were all masters, high masters, and characters who hung the sky, and when they came together, Ma Chao was afraid that he wanted to be arrogant and also look at the capital and qualifications.

At the same time, it also avoided the contradiction between Ma Chao and Wei Yan to the greatest extent. Although Zhang Ren is a famous general in Yizhou, he is old and serious, and Liu Cong ordered him to assist Wei Yan, so he naturally has no opinion. But if Ma Chao takes Pang De to do it, it may not be. Wei Yan was very happy about the lord's decision. It doesn't matter what you do, as long as you don't get in the way of my eyes.

And leaving Pound is also Liu Cong's understanding of Pound in history and respecting his character! When Ma Chao surrendered to Liu Bei, Pang De happened to be recuperating, and was later forced by Zhang Lu to vote for Cao Cao. Cao Cao pacified Hanzhong, and Pang De surrendered with the crowd. Cao Cao knew of his bravery, worshiped Pang De as the righteous general, sealed the gate of the pavilion, and had 300 households.

Later, Pound fought with Guan Yu and shot Guan Yu in the forehead with an arrow. At that time, Pang De often rode on a white horse, and Guan Yujun was known as the white horse general, and he was very jealous of him.

Cao Ren made Pang De to garrison troops in the north of Fancheng ten miles, it was more than ten days of rain in the sky, the Han River overflowed, and the flat land under Fancheng was five or six zhang deep, so Pang De and the generals avoided the water embankment. At this time, Guan Yu attacked the Wei army by boat, and fired arrows from all sides of the ship to the embankment. Pound was armoured with a bow, and the arrows were not in vain. General Dong Heng, general Dong Chao and others wanted to surrender Guan Yu, but they were all beheaded by Pang De.

Pang De fought hard from Pingdan to the middle of the day, Guan Yu's offensive became more and more urgent, the arrows were exhausted, and the two sides engaged in a short battle.

Pound said to the governor Cheng He: "I will not be afraid to die to avoid it, and the martyrs will not destroy the festival to survive, and today is my death day." So he was angry and fierce, and his spirit became stronger, but the flooding was too strong, and the Wei army and soldiers all surrendered. Pang De and his subordinates, one of them, and Wu Bo, collected bows and arrows, and took a small boat to return to Cao Ren's base camp. However, the storm water was too strong, the boat was sunk, the bow and arrows were lost, and Pang De was alone in the water, captured by Guan Yu, and was sent back to Shu to stand without kneeling. Angry that Guan Yu killed him, Cao Cao was very sad after his death, and he wept for it, so he named his second son as a liehou.

Although Pang De does not have the ability to command like Yu Ban, but his loyalty is commendable, now Liu Cong is ready to go east, once Cao Cao goes south, Baishui Pass must be a hard battle, as long as Wei Yan treats Pang De well, Pang De will definitely die for Liu Cong! So it's really a good idea to let Pang De lead the subordinates brought by Ma Chao and station them in Baishui Pass! After leaving Ma Chao and leaving Pang De, Wei Yan was also very satisfied with the arrangement of the lord.

And Ma Chao is not very satisfied, he will either rebel immediately, but then he will be homeless. After hesitating, Ma Chao decided to accept Liu Cong's order and get up and go to Chaisang. And the family members and others all stayed in Baishui Pass. Wei Yan has since understood that the previous lord has been asking to take the initiative to contact Hanzhong, in order to let Zhang Lu drive Ma Chao away.

After Liu Cong rested for ten days in Chaisang, he consulted with the generals and decided to send heavy troops to take Nanchang, and then marched eastward to prepare for an adventure. After all, there are tens of thousands of soldiers in Baishui Pass, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and now Jiangdong is not looking at it, Xu Ming has already started an incident in Qu'a, and if he does not get a response, he is afraid that he will eventually be eaten by Sun Quan.

The army was dispatched, but the candidates who stayed behind in Chaisang gave Liu Cong a headache, and these generals brought out played an important role in several battles against Chaisang. In the end, after thinking about it, he asked the newcomer Huo Jun to garrison with 5,000 people, Yu Ban went to Nanchang with the infantry to assist Liu Pan in attacking Nanchang, and Gan Ning rushed to Hukou with the navy to prepare for the eastward advance with Guan Yu.

Among the newly returned people, Liu Cong originally let Zhang Zhao, Kan Ze and Xu Sheng stay behind, and Han Dang, Dong Xi, and Chen Wu set off with Liu Cong's Chinese army. But Zhang Zhao insisted on following Liu Cong's actions, saying that he wanted to see the fall of Sun Quan with his own eyes! Resolute, rather than tough with anger! Liu Cong also understood this, for Zhang Zhao, Sun Quan was a betrayed brother, and this person also killed Sun Shao, who he regarded as his own son! made the Jiangdong that Sun Ce had defeated in the east and the west!

Zhang Zhao is nearly sixty years old, Liu Cong naturally doesn't want him to join the army, Han Dang and others are also trying to persuade each other, but Zhang Zhao still refuses. In the end, Liu Cong had to let Da Qiao go out, and said all kinds of good things and promises in front of Da Qiao, and Da Qiao agreed to dissuade Zhang Zhao. Da Qiao actually feels sorry for Zhang Zhao, he has been squeezed out by Sun Quan in the past few years, and he has suffered a lot of white eyes, and now he has really gone to the front line, in case Sun Quan does something to not make this old man angry?

Although it was his wife who came to persuade him, Zhang Zhao still insisted. In the end, Da Qiao couldn't do it, and said, if Mr. goes, the slave family will also go!

How can this be? Zhang Zhao naturally would not agree to Da Qiao going to the front line in person, and Da Qiao naturally had a reason, Sun Quan took over the position of his husband, and in turn threatened himself to assassinate and kill his own son, no one hates Sun Quan more, and wants to see the moment when he is completely defeated. So those who persuade become those who are persuaded.

Liu Cong only came out to play the round again at this time, and he didn't go, and he promised to treat the people of Jiangdong well, and if he could capture Sun Quan, he would hand it over to the two of them! After the candidate was finally decided, Liu Cong asked Huo Jun to collect large fishing boats near Chaisang, although he was preparing to pick up a part of the infantry from Poyang Lake to Hukou.

It is said that when Yu Ban rushed to the Nanchang battlefield with 20,000 infantry, Nanchang City was already in danger, and it was originally besieged by Liu Pan and Zhang Jaw. But since Liu Pan got rid of Lü Meng and joined the Chaisang battlefield, the morale of the Nanchang defenders has plummeted, and those in Nanchang City who have been favored by Liu Miao naturally think of Liu Shang. The defeat of Lu Su and Lu Meng made Chai Sang see the opportunity to abandon the darkness and turn to the light! And what happened to those wealthy families in Chaisang City made all the families in the city very vigilant! It is impossible for Lu Su and others to force the children of the Hao clan to go to the battlefield again, and they may rise up at any time to respond to the siege troops outside the city.

The siege force increased by 20,000 at once, and Lu Su and Lü Meng planned to retreat knowing that the good times would not last long.

It's just that Nanchang is not Chaisang, Chaisang can go to Nanchang and a section, after Nanchang withdraws, there is no danger to defend along the way to Poyang, and the general county town does not have such a city wall and moat, and it is not possible to station a large number of troops.

"Governor, the matter has come to this, it is better to return to Wu County directly!"

"Impossible, every day you and I alone block Liu Cong's army is to win a day for the lord. If you go back directly at this moment, I am afraid that it will not take half a month for Liu Cong to appear in Wu County. ”

"But in this way, our army will be pursued all the way, and I am afraid that it will be exhausted on the way!"

"There's no way around it. Tonight, you retreat to Zhigan (now Yugan) to arm! Then ...... from Poyang, "Lu Su decided to block Liu Cong's army in the counties along the way, and he also knew who was dying and struggling, now it depends on how many recruits Sun Quan can recruit in a short period of time, plus whether Sun Jing from Jiaozhou can return in time to help." Of course, Lu Su's greatest hope is still pinned on Cao Cao, a strong enemy in the north, and Liu Cong wants to subdue Jiangdong to form a situation with Cao Cao across the river, and I believe that Cao Cao does not want to see it.

Complaining and negativity were no avail, Lu Su and Lu Meng were surprisingly consistent at this time, but his soldiers were not as united as them. That night, when Lu Su led people to break through Nanchang, nearly one-third of the soldiers chose to stay in Nanchang again, because they saw many partners die in the last breakout, and died under the pursuit of the enemy, and now there are nearly 50,000 people outside the city, and Nanchang City is only 15,000 people, so even if they break out, they will definitely be pursued for a long time.

And Liu Pan and the others have already been prepared, Nanchang is just around the corner, and the reason why Liu Cong let Yu Ban come to help is to fight quickly! The city of Nanchang was broken, Liu Pan led 20,000 troops to continue the pursuit, Zhang Jaw led people into the city, and Yu Ban collected grain, grass and ships outside the city, preparing to join the Hukou naval army! The people in Nanchang City had already learned that Mrs. Sun was coerced to do this and that Sun Shao was killed, and Zhang Zhao and Kan Ze's return to the imperial court made there almost no resistance in Nanchang City.

Some wealthy families in the city visited Zhang Jaw as soon as possible and asked the court to let Liu Shang, the county guard of Yuzhang, return as soon as possible. Chaisang City fought for two months, and Nanchang held out for less than ten days, which is a defeat like a mountain! After taking Nanchang, there is almost no resistance in the entire Yuzhang County that can be resisted by Liu Cong's army. Liu Cong asked Zhang Jaw to speed up the deployment of the surrounding area of Nanchang, while Liu Pan pursued Lu Su non-stop! At the same time, Liu Cong also set off from Chaisang to Hukou to join Gan Ning and Guan Yu.
