Chapter 55: The Dragon Fights
Mi Zhu sighed and said to Liu Du: "It's not a pity to die, the beggar king spared the life of his son Liu Chan!" ”
Liu Feng on the side saw that Mi Zhu was dying and pleaded for Liu Chan, forcibly suppressing the unhappiness in his chest.
Liu Du ordered someone to bring Liu Chan up, only to see that Liu Chan had a wide face and big ears, and he was white and fat.
"Adou, is your father thinking about you?" Liu Du looked directly into Liu Chan's eyes and asked.
Liu Chan knelt on the ground and was silent. Liu Du asked again, Liu Chan raised his head, put on a smiling face and said to Liu Du: "My father Ji people have their own natural appearance. ”
Liu Du saw that Liu Chan was neither humble nor arrogant, and it was difficult to connect him with the Adou who couldn't help him in the romance.
Liu Du asked again: "Lone led the army to attack your father, seized his land, and caused your father to be imprisoned, can you resent Lone?" ”
Liu Chan still squeezed a smile and said to Liu Du: "The surname in the world is Liu, how can you take it?" My father's surname is Liu, and the king is also surnamed Liu, although the land of Jingzhou has changed hands, it is still the territory of the Han Dynasty. ”
Liu Chan's words stunned Liu Du, who would have thought that Liu Chan, who seemed harmless to humans and animals, would actually understand the truth of self-preservation. What's more, Liu Chan is still only a teenager, if it were an ordinary child, I am afraid that he would have cried in fear at this time in the face of this kind of scene.
Liu Du thought of Liu Chan in history, and he already had a plan in his heart. Liu Du then said: "Liu Chan, you are the Marquis of Anxi today, and you can enjoy the food of a pavilion." ”
Liu Feng still didn't understand why Liu Du didn't kill Liu Chan, but instead gave him a title. But seeing that Mi Zhu had already knelt on the ground gratefully, he cried and said to Liu Du: "King Renyi of Hanzhong, Mi Zhu is willing to surrender!" ”
After Chenyang was down, Liu Du subdued all the counties of Wuling, and the army went southeast to prepare to recover Lingling.
In Liang County, Lingling, Zhou Yu was bedridden in the mansion and handed over the important task of defending the city to Sun Gan. At this time, Han Xuan had also joined forces with Chen Wu and Xu Shu, and the army was approaching Duliang County.
Sun Qian hurriedly reported the news to Zhou Yu, who was already disheartened after learning that Liu Bei had been captured, and the fall of Liu Bei's forces was unstoppable.
Zhou Yu heard that Han Xuan's army was coming at this time, and he expected that Liu Du would also be killed soon, and either of the two families could easily capture this small Duliang County, let alone the two families together. Although there were many grievances and entanglements between Han Xuan and Liu Du, Zhou Yu had nothing to do for a while.
Zhou Yu's urgency was attacking, and he suddenly felt a rush in his heart, and he lay on the side of the bed and vomited blood.
Twenty miles away from Duliang County, Chen Wu was riding on a horse and was talking and laughing with Han Xuan and Xu Shu. It turned out that Han Xuan's son Han Xing and Chen Wu's daughter Chen Zhansheng were of the age of marriage, and Han Xuan and Chen Wu were ready to choose an auspicious day to complete the marriage for the two.
Han Xuan smiled: "You and I have been brothers for so many years, and they are about to become in-laws. The children have grown up, and it seems that we are all old! ”
"Where are you old, you and I are in the prime of life, and the world is still waiting for us to change!" Chen Wu patted the horse and said to Han Xuan.
Han Xuan looked ahead and said, "After capturing Duliang in this battle, our army is bound to meet Liu Dujun, and I am afraid that a big battle is inevitable." ”
"I am here with Mr. Xu Shu, what is Liu Du afraid of?" Chen Wu said confidently.
Xu Shu, who shared a carriage with Han Xuan, smiled and said to Chen Wu: "The general is too high-minded. Liu Dujun had just experienced Liu Bei's Great War and urgently needed to recover. And the army of the Marquis of Chu advanced all the way, and when the morale of our army was high before the big battle, Liu Du may not dare to fight with our army. ”
"Hahaha, that's a pity, this small Duliang County is not enough for me to see. Big brother, this Zhou Yu is in Duliang County, and he and my wife have a grudge against killing their father and destroying the clan, so let me take the lead in this battle! Chen Wu checked the Heavenly Dragon Breaking City Halberd in his hand, and was eager to immediately attack the city wall of Duliang County and take Zhou Yu's head.
Han Xuan's army finally arrived at the city of Duliang County, and Han Xuan ordered the city to be surrounded on all sides, and only the east gate was stormed. Sun Qian personally went to the city wall to supervise the army to resist, but the catapults and bed crossbows of Han Xuan's army were too powerful, and after a round of saturation blows, the city wall was beaten to pieces.
Then Chen Wu personally supervised the formation, ordered the siege soldiers to set up a ladder close to the city wall, and Chen Wu commanded his own troops to storm the city wall. The Jiangdong Army rushed to the city wall several times, killing and wounding countless defenders.
Zhou Yu's son Zhou Yin also went to the city wall to assist Sun Qian to resist the enemy, although the soldiers resisted to the death, but still could not stop the fierce offensive of the Jiangdong army. Zhou Yin personally went into battle to fight, but was killed by Guan Hai.
Sun Qian mobilized all the young men in the city to resist, and he was able to defeat Han Xuan's army on the city wall, but it was only a matter of time before the city was broken.
And the news of Zhou Yin's death in battle still reached Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu was full of grief and anger, and only hated that he couldn't get up to supervise the battle.
"Yin'er! My Yin'er! Although Zhou Yin was born to Zhou Yu and a Shanyue woman, Zhou Yu's love for him was irreparable, and his condition became more and more serious at this time.
"God is jealous of talents, God is jealous of talents......" Zhou Yu shouted twice, vomiting blood and dying.
As soon as Zhou Yu died, the soldiers of the defenders in the city suddenly fell to the extreme, and they waited for this clever military advisor to get better and lead them to repel the enemy army. But this small hope was dashed, and their resistance was in vain.
Finally, when the sun was about to set in the west, Han Xuan's army broke through the city wall. Thousands of troops poured into the city like a tide, and Sun Gan fought bloodily and was killed by the rebels.
Han Xuan, Xu Shu and others entered the county government and were busy dealing with post-war matters. Chen Wu led his soldiers straight to Zhou Yu's mansion, but he didn't expect the soldiers of Zhou Yu's mansion to open the door wide and let Chen Wu and others in. It turned out that Zhou Yu's servant beheaded Zhou Yu after his death and wanted to sacrifice it to Han Xuan for self-preservation.
Although Chen Wu despised this kind of villain, he still spared their lives, and Chen Wu asked Zhou Yu's head to be put into a box, ready to take it back to pay tribute to Fu Yi and his people with Ju Rong.
Three days later, Liu Du's army also arrived in Duliang County. Tanma morning report came, and Han Xuan led the army to set up eight formations of hooves outside the city in advance.
The two formations were in a circle, and Liu Du came out and said: "Lone led the army to recover Lingling, why did the Marquis of Chu come here?" ”
"The king of Hanzhong has sealed Xichuan far away, Jingzhou is taken by my Jiangdong, and Lingling is under the jurisdiction of my Jiangdong. What did the king of Hanzhong say about the word 'recovery'? Han Xuan retorted.
Liu Du was furious when he heard this, and made a move back with his sword, preparing to kill the army together. But seeing that Fa Zheng dissuaded: "The king can't, our army has come on an expedition, and the big war is decided, and the morale is exhausted." Today, Han Xuan's army is in a strict and orderly formation, advancing and retreating freely, and it cannot be matched by its strength. ”
Liu Du nodded when he heard this, causing Liao Hua to fight. Han Xuan was about to send a general, but he saw that Guan Hai under Chen Wu had already stepped out with a sword. Liao Hua fought for more than 20 years, and the two did not win or lose. fought again, and in the end, Liao Hua's strength lost half a point, urging the horse to rush back to the battle.
Guan Hai was just about to ride his horse to pursue, but when he saw Zhang Ren in Liu Du's army, Guan Hai took over the fight. Zhang Ren Bainiao shook his marksmanship towards the phoenix, and Guan Hai reluctantly took the next round. After fifteen days, Zhang Ren's marksmanship was not messy at all, but Guan Hai was difficult to deal with, so he had to turn his horse away.
Zhang Ren urged the horse to chase after him, stabbing Guan Hai's right arm, and Guan Hai walked away with the injury. Chen Wu hurriedly sat down and stepped on the cloud black cone horse, and raised his halberd to save Guan Hai. Guan Hai retreated into the formation, and Chen Wu Bawang's marksmanship opened and closed, and he broke Zhang Ren's Hundred Birds Chaofeng Marksmanship with force.
After fifteen days, Zhang Ren was defeated and fled. Chen Wu only stopped at the horse and did not chase after him, and shouted at Liu Dujun: "Jiangdong Little Overlord Chen Wu is here!" If you are not afraid of death, come! ”
None of the generals under Liu Du dared to move, and the army was cowardly. Chen Wu raised his head and laughed: "Is there no general under the command of the king of Hanzhong?" Where is Zhao Zilong? Where is Ma Mengqi? ”
Liu Du was annoyed and embarrassed when he heard this, and urgently ordered Ma Chao and Zhao Yun to fight, but he didn't want the two to refuse to fight because of Guan Yu's matter. Liu Du was helpless, so he had to agree with the two that if the two defeated Chen Wu in the battle, Guan Yu would be handed over to Zhao Yun after returning to Yizhou.
The generals under Han Xuan's command were still laughing at Liu Dujun, and suddenly Liu Dujun's drums shook loudly, and when the door flag opened, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao went out together, like two white lightning bolts rushing straight towards Chen Wu.
Chen Wu didn't panic, he picked up a shot from Zhao Yunji's stabbing with a halberd, and dodged to dodge Ma Chao's attack. Zhao Yunqi used all the snake guns, and Chen Wu calmly dealt with them.
He used his experience of combining the overlord marksmanship and the coiling dragon knife technique, and also created a set of halberd methods. Coupled with Chen Wu's use of the essence of Tai Chi in later generations, Chen Wu's halberd technique was both rigid and soft, and Chen Wu actually led Zhao Yun's marksmanship to attack Ma Chao at this time.
Ma Chao and Zhao Yun were shocked at the same time, they never thought that Chen Wu's martial arts had reached this realm now. It is no exaggeration to say that the current Chen Wu can be said to be close to Lu Bu in his heyday, or even stronger.
Chen Wu fought alone, and Han Xuanjun's morale was greatly boosted, so Han Xuan personally cheered for Chen Wu. The officers and men of the two armies watched this battle and were dumbfounded.
