Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

The southern expeditionary army was divided into four routes, and the three routes of Cen Peng, Jia Fu, and Wang Liang progressed smoothly, and successfully captured Xinye, Huyang, and Pingshi.

Only Zhu You, who attacked Yuyang, encountered huge resistance in the siege and could not be attacked for a long time.

Just when Cen Peng, Jia Fu, and Wang Liang were about to lead the army to reinforce Zhu You, news suddenly came from Wancheng that Deng Feng's main army was attacking Wancheng.

Upon learning of this, Cen Peng immediately sent a letter to Jia Fu, Wang Liang, and Zhu You, ordering them to go to Wancheng with him, not only to relieve the danger of Wancheng, but also to fight to the death with the main force of Deng Feng's army.

Jia Fu and Wang Liang both followed Cen Peng's general orders and led their troops to Wancheng, but Zhu You did not obey the order and stayed here in Yuyang to continue the siege.

Compared with Xinye, Huyang, and Ping, Yuyang is the closest to Wancheng, and according to Zhu You's plan, he will capture Yuyang first, and then send troops to rescue Wancheng.

Zhu You is doing this purely to save face. The other three armies have successfully completed the set goals, but he has made no progress along the way, and he is helpless to take Yuyang, what face does he have to meet Cen Peng, Jia Fu, and Wang Liang.

Moreover, Zhu You is an official who worships General Jianyi, you must know that adding the word 'big' in front of the general is not an ordinary general. In wartime, there is only one general who has the right to command, and the general can control several generals.

Cen Peng was originally a court lieutenant, and after Liu Xiu appointed him as the commander of the Southern Expeditionary Army, he was named the general of the Southern Expeditionary Army.

Only a general has the right to command so many soldiers and horses, otherwise, Cen Peng will serve as the chief general as a court lieutenant, and his name will not be correct, his words will not be good, and it will be difficult to convince the public.

After Liu Xiu became emperor, he immediately named Zhu You as the general of Jianyi, which shows that Liu Xiu attaches great importance to Zhu You. However, Liu Xiu's approach made Zhu You feel pressured. There are even many people in the army who talk in private, saying that the reason why Zhu You was able to worship General Jianyi was not because of his true talent, and he did not have such great ability, it was entirely because of him and His Majesty

The personal friendship is good, the two are young, and they are classmates, when His Majesty raised troops in Chungling, Zhu You followed His Majesty before and after the saddle, and he was mixed with qualifications.

Zhu You didn't seem to care about these rumors at all on the surface, but he actually listened to them in his heart. This time he sent troops to Nanyang, Zhu You had already made up his mind, and he was determined to make meritorious contributions and seal everyone's mouths with merit.

As a result, the actual situation is very cruel, his own troops are divided into four routes, but his own way of fighting is unfavorable and there is no progress, where can Zhu You accept it in his heart?

After knowing the news that Deng Feng was storming Wancheng, the armies of Cen Peng, Jia Fu, and Wang Liang were all marching towards Wancheng, but Zhu You stayed here in Yuyang and continued to attack Yuyang.

Zhu You was anxious, and he also used all his strength when attacking the city, and did not hesitate to personally go into battle to command. But at this juncture, behind Zhu Youjun's back, the main force of Deng Fengjun's army suddenly came.

The person who commanded the main force of Deng Feng's army was not Deng Feng, but Deng Feng's younger brother, Deng Zhong.

Deng Zhong led the main army and killed from behind Zhu You's army, which was besieging the city, and caught Zhu You's army by surprise.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhu You immediately sent someone to Wancheng to ask Cen Peng for help. At this time, Cen Peng, Jia Fu, and Wang Liang had already joined forces and were fighting with Deng Feng.

Hearing that Zhu You was attacked by the enemy's main force in Yuyang, Cen Peng couldn't help but gasp, if the main force of Deng Feng's army was in Yuyang, then here in Wancheng, what is the origin of this army commanded by Deng Feng himself?

After thinking about it, Cen Peng suddenly realized that he had been fooled. The soldiers and horses under the command of Deng Feng now are very likely to be the soldiers and horses of Yan Cen, Qin Feng, and Dong Xun.

It's just that it's too late for him to understand this now, the main force of the Southern Expeditionary Army led by Cen Peng was dragged by the coalition army under the command of Deng Feng, and he couldn't withdraw at all, and he didn't have the opportunity to go to Yuyang to aid Zhu You's army.

Zhu Youjun was isolated here in Yuyang, facing the large-scale attack of Deng Fengjun's main force alone, and the worst thing was that Deng Fengjun in Yuyang City also took the initiative to kill out of the city and attack Deng Zhong's army inside and outside.

Under the condition of being attacked by the enemy inside and outside, Zhu You's army fought hard for a day and a night, and finally could not support it, the whole army was defeated, and 30,000 soldiers were completely dispersed, with countless casualties.

More than a dozen guards guarded Zhu You's side, looking at the enemies swarming from all directions, the guards hurriedly said, "General, let's go!" If you don't leave, it's too late! ”

At this time, Zhu You was already disheartened, 30,000 soldiers were beaten up in his own hands, what face did he have to go to see Cen Peng, and what face did he have to go back to Luoyang to see His Majesty?

Thinking of this, he looked up to the sky and sighed, and said, "That's it! Back then, You followed His Majesty and raised troops in Nanyang, and today he died in Nanyang, which is also a well-deserved death! ”

"General—"

Zhu You waved his hand to the guards around him and said, "Let's go!" If you are lucky enough to return to Luoyang alive and see Your Majesty, you can tell Your Majesty that although you are incompetent, you have not dishonored the prestige of the Han family! ”

As he spoke, he picked up his long knife, clamped the horse's belly with both legs, and urged the horse to rush out, heading straight for the enemy who was killing in front of him.

The long knife drew a long electric light in the air, flashing into the crowd, and the blood light spurted out, and several Deng Fengjun soldiers were swept to the ground by the blade. Zhu You rode his horse and rushed into the crowd of enemy troops, waving his long knife and rushing left and right.

But he was alone, and no matter how strong his force was, he could not reverse the defeat of the Han army. The number of enemy troops rushing towards Zhu You is increasing, and Zhu You is the only one who didn't pay attention, and was tripped by the tripping horse rope that dragged over.

Hearing a muffled sound, Zhu You fell to the ground along with the war horse under his crotch. The surrounding soldiers thought that there was an opportunity and rushed forward. Zhu You, who was lying on the ground, roared angrily, grabbed the long knife, picked it up and waved it outward. Sand! The blade tore open the chests of the enemy soldiers around him, and seven or eight soldiers spurted blood from their chests and fell to the ground. At this time, more than a dozen guards who had been guarding Zhu You's side rushed out of the crowd, and when Zhu You approached, they killed him

The surrounding enemy forces temporarily retreated.

One of the guards jumped off his horse, handed the reins to Zhu You, and said urgently: "General, go quickly!" ”

Zhu You looked at these brothers who were desperate to protect him, his eyes couldn't help but turn red, and before he could speak, suddenly, someone in the crowd laughed and said, "Go?" Today, none of you can leave! ”

With the words, Deng Feng's soldiers separated to the left and right, and from the crowd, a group of people rode out, and the first one, Zhu You was too familiar, it was Deng Zhong.

Seeing Deng Zhong, a cold light flashed in Zhu You's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It's you!" ”

"Zhu You, we haven't seen each other for a long time!" Deng Zhong looked at Zhu You and said happily. At this time, he was completely a winner, and in fact, he did win the battle.

"You white-eyed wolf!" Zhu You said fiercely: "Your Majesty treats you well, but you make a rebellious move......

Without waiting for Zhu You to finish speaking, Deng Zhong waved his hand to him again and again, and said with a sneer: "Zhu You, don't talk this nonsense between us anymore!" ”

He pointed around and said, "You have also seen that your subordinates, those who are dead and those who flee, and now you are the only one left, so, Zhu You, do you want to die or live?" ”

"Lao Tzu wants your life first!" Zhu You was extremely angry, roared angrily, and was about to rush towards Deng Zhong on the opposite side with a knife.

Several guards next to him said, "General, let the villain go first!" As he spoke, the guards urged their horses to rush towards Deng Zhong.

It's just that they rush up faster and fall faster. The cavalry behind Deng Zhong picked up their crossbow machines one after another, and fired arrows in unison. Zhu You's guards, including men and horses, were shot to the ground and killed on the spot.

Seeing this, several other guards bowed their hands to Zhu You and said, "General, the villain is one step ahead!" Before the words fell, they also urged the horses to rush towards Deng Zhong.

It was a complete suicidal charge, but even though they knew it was death, they didn't even blink an eye.

Smack, smack, smack! The sound of the crossbow box was endless, followed by the sound of falling to the ground, and several guards, all of whom were spared, were shot to the ground.

The last guard to fall did his best to throw the spear in his hand at Deng Zhong.

Deng Zhong sat on the horse, didn't even dodge, laughed, waved the saber in his hand casually, snapped, and the flying spear was blocked, swirled, and flew out sideways.

He happily looked at Zhu You on the other side, and asked with a smile: "Zhu You, now you are left alone, and you want to kill yourself like them?" ”

Seeing the tragic deaths of his brothers one after another, Zhu You's eyes were red, and he yelled: "Deng Zhong, I want your life!" ”

Zhu You rushed forward with a knife. Before he could get close to Deng Zhong, he suddenly shot a crossbow arrow from the side.

The crossbow arrow was not aimed at Zhu You, but was nailed to the horse's neck. The war horse neighed and fell to the ground with a bang, and Zhu You, who was riding on horseback, was caused by inertia to roll forward again and again.

When his body stopped on the ground, he looked up and saw that he had already turned in front of Deng Zhong's war horse. Zhu You also planned to get up from the ground and cut Deng Zhong in front of him under the knife, but at this time, a large group of soldiers swarmed over, and the spears were stubbornly forced Zhu You. Zhu You didn't care about opening the spears around him, and the soldiers were all in unison

forced, and imprisoned Zhu You with a spear. Zhu You couldn't break free from everyone's confinement, and roared angrily, and a soldier who went around his back smashed the back of Zhu You's head with the tail end of his spear.

He snorted, and felt his eyes blacken, and his body involuntarily threw himself forward. Deng Zhong glanced down at Zhu You, shook his head and shouted, "Take it!" ”

As he spoke, a soldier carrying a rope walked up to Zhu You, pulled his shoulders and put his head on his back, and tied him up strongly.

Then, Deng Zhong ordered the whole army to retreat, as for Yuyang, he didn't have to defend it anymore, and all the soldiers in the city withdrew with the main force.

The battle on Yuyang's side came to an end, and the news soon spread to Wancheng. Deng Feng was the first to get the news, and when he learned that his side had won in Yuyang, he immediately ordered that the whole army should defend the camp to the death, and no one was allowed to fight without authorization.

Cen Peng and others were anxious to go to Yuyang to rescue Zhu You, and they did not storm Deng Fengjun's camp. On the way to Yuyang, they encountered the remnants of Zhu You's army under the rout.

After inquiring about the remnants of the defeated generals, Cen Peng and others learned that Zhu You had been defeated in Yuyang, and even Zhu You himself was captured alive by the soldiers and horses of Commander Deng Zhong.

This battle in Nanyang was a heavy blow to both the Southern Expeditionary Army and the Luoyang Imperial Court.

The Luoyang Imperial Court changed commanders and asked Cen Peng to replace Wu Han, but as a result, the Southern Expeditionary Army commanded by Cen Peng suffered a big loss not long after entering Nanyang, and the worst thing is that Zhu You was also arrested by Deng Fengjun.

Although Zhu You was captured, the main responsibility was still on Zhu You himself, he did not obey Cen Peng's orders, but a dignified general was captured alive by the enemy, and Cen Peng, as the commander, was naturally to blame.

When the news reached Luoyang, the imperial court was shocked. Many ministers began to act as an afterthought and impeached Song Hong. Although Da Sima was defeated in Nanyang, the casualties of his own soldiers were not large, and he had never been captured alive by the enemy

There is a precedent for those who died in battle, but after Cen Peng was replaced as the main general, only one battle was defeated, and Zhu You, the general of Jianyi, was defeated. At the same time, many people also secretly admired Liu Xiu in their hearts, Wu Han fought like that in Nanyang, Liu Xiu still insisted on refusing to change the commander, I have to say that Liu Xiu was really prescient.
