Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Storm Rises
Zhang Fei took the opportunity to lead his troops to cover up and kill, but Zhao Feng was difficult to resist, and the Shu soldiers were defeated. There were fewer and fewer soldiers following behind Zhao Feng. After walking less than four or five miles, the shouts in front shook the sky again, the fire was bright, and Mi Fang and Liu Feng suddenly shot and killed. Zhao Feng was furious, greeted each other with a gun, fought the two generals alone, Feng Xi killed to help the battle, and retreated Mi Fang. The corner gun in Zhao Feng's hand suddenly trembled, attacking Liu Feng like a storm, only three together, and Liu Feng was defeated.
Zhao Feng didn't dare to fight, and hurriedly looked at the mountain road. Ma Liang was wounded in the back, and rushed to the guard under the escort of the sergeant, reporting that Zhao Lei had died in the chaos.
Zhao Feng was overwhelmed with grief, so after Feng Xi broke off, Zhao Feng opened the way in front of him, and there were only more than 200 people left with him. When I walked to the broken rock, there were mountains on both sides, and the side of the mountain was full of reeds and grass, and the trees were overgrown.
At this time, the fifth watch is about to end. As Zhao Feng was walking, he shouted, and the two ambushes were exhausted, and Zhao Feng's soldiers were shot and fell down one after another. In the firelight, a red-faced and long-haired enemy general rode a red rabbit horse, dragging the Qinglong Yanyue Knife and killing Zhao Feng directly.
Zhao Feng saw that the knife was slashing with a thunderous momentum, and its momentum was urgent, and it could not be hard-connected. Zhao Feng flickered his horse, hooked the big knife in his hand, and led it straight to the side.
"Zhao Feng! Guan has been waiting here for a long time! Guan Yu held a knife in one hand and stroked his long hair in the other and said to Zhao Feng with a smile.
Zhao Feng was shocked again and again, and he was not under his martial arts, and he could even compare with his younger brother Zhao Yun. Zhao Feng didn't dare to underestimate the enemy, but since he was sleepy and lacking horses, he had no choice but to fight to the death.
Zhao Feng shook his spear and swept towards Guan Yu, Guan Yu also used the Spring and Autumn Sword Technique of opening and closing, and the two fought for twenty times without winning or losing. Guan Yu also admired Zhao Feng's composure and calmness, just now he sneaked up on the knife with all his strength, and he didn't know how many fierce generals would die under this knife. And Zhao Feng actually reacted in an instant, and defused the knife with skill.
Feng Xi fought bloodily, killed more than a dozen enemy soldiers, and attacked Guan Yu directly. But seeing Guan Yu's cold eyebrows, Danfeng's eyes suddenly opened, and he wanted to turn around and slash Feng Xi with a knife.
At this time, a small prancing horse behind Guan Yu rushed out and stopped Feng Xi with a knife, Guan Yu saw that the person was his eldest son Guan Ping. Guan Yu nodded at him with satisfaction, and turned around to concentrate on dealing with Zhao Feng.
Guan Ping won Guan Yu's true sword technique, and at this time he fought with Feng Xi for twenty times, and he dragged the knife and walked away with a trick, and turned around and slashed Feng Xi under the horse.
Zhao Fengwang saw Feng Xi die in battle, he was furious, and the spear stabbed straight into Guan Yu's jaw. Guan Yu narrowly defended it, but he noticed that Zhao Feng's marksmanship was out of order at this time.
The two fought for another twenty times, and Zhao Feng was negligent, and the spear pierced into Guan Yu's waist. Guan Yu seized the opportunity and raised his hand to slash Zhao Feng.
Ma Liang was captured by Guan Yu's soldiers, and the rest of the Shu soldiers all abandoned their armor and surrendered. When it was dawn, Liu Bei heard that Guan Yu and his son had killed Zhao Feng's soldiers who broke through the siege, and he was overjoyed, and gathered the crowd in the tent to discuss the march.
However, it was said that Wang Fu and Wu Ban were worried about Zhao Feng in Nanjun City, and they suddenly reported that Liu Beijun was under the city and recruited Zhao Feng and Feng Xi to the first level. Wang Fu and Wu Ban were shocked, and hurriedly went to the city to watch, and sure enough, it was the head of the two.
Wang Fu screamed, fell into the city and committed suicide. Wu Ban resisted bravely, but the city was still ruined, so Nanjun also fell into the hands of Liu Bei.
Liu Bei feasted on the generals, Zhou Yu just sat down, Liu Bei came to Zhou Yu with a wine: "If it weren't for Gongjin's strategy, Bei'an would have to cross the land of Jingzhou and Jiaozhou?" Drink it to your heart's content! ”
Zhou Yu took the wine and drank it all, and asked Liu Bei with a smile: "Although the lord has the land of Jingzhou today, he is only satisfied with this?" ”
"Liu Du is in the west, Han Xuan is in the east, and Cao Cao is in the north. Prepare to sit firmly in Jingzhou? In today's poor and difficult situation, I would like to ask Gong Jin to teach him. After Liu Bei finished speaking, he bowed down to Zhou Yu, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei saw Zhou Yu on the side, and they were unhappy.
Zhou Yu picked up Liu Bei and said: "Although I have old grudges with Han Xuan, but the current situation is like this, and I can only unite with him." The defensive line in Jiangdong is too long, and now Lu Xun provoked a grudge between Han Xuan and Liu Du, Han Xuan wanted to resist Liu Du with the lord, and he would not rush to compete with the lord. ”
Liu Bei agreed when he heard this, so he asked Zhou Yu how to enter the army next. Zhou Yu said: "Xiangyang is the place where Jingzhou's henchmen are located, and it is advisable for the lord to resist Liu Du on the one hand; On the one hand, a general was sent to garrison Nanjun, and Xiangyang was omitted to the north, and after Xiangyang was obtained, the land of Xichuan could be slowed down and replaced by Liu Du. ”
Liu Bei was convinced, so he ordered Guan Yu and Guan Ping to guard Nanjun, and Zhou Yu to garrison Wuling to prevent Liu Du from counterattacking.
Liu Du was furious when he learned that Zhao Feng had died in battle and that he had completely lost Jingzhou. Liu Du personally led his army to Shangyong and questioned his eldest son Liu Xian, and Shangyong City had just been hit by war at this time, and the city walls were dilapidated.
Liu Du glared at Liu Xian angrily and asked, "What's going on?" ”
Liu Xian cried and knelt on the ground and replied, "Father! The child is convicted. The child misheard Meng Da's slander and harmed General Zhao Feng...... Woowoo woo ......"
It turned out that the people of Liu Du's faction came to Shangyong after Liaohua, and Liu Xian understood the seriousness of the situation. Liu Xian originally wanted to set up a banquet to kill Meng Da, and then pleaded guilty to Liu Du. Unexpectedly, Meng Da had a lot of henchmen, and he noticed Liu Xian's plan, and the two immediately started a fierce battle in Shangyong City. Meng Da was defeated and fled to Cao Cao and surrendered to Cao Cao.
At this time, Zhao Yun followed Liu Du's side, and when he heard what Liu Xian said, he was filled with grief and anger. Zhao Yun's eyes were full of hatred when he looked at Liu Xian, but Liu Xian was Liu Du's son after all, so he could only endure it.
Zhao Yun was very sad, and bowed down to Liu Du and said, "King, Guan Yu killed my brother." Zhao Yun begged the king to give me 30,000 elite soldiers, I want to avenge my brother and recapture Nanjun for the lord! ”
Liu Du tearfully helped Zhao Yun up and said: "Zilong Day mourns! After the autumn harvest, Gu Yao personally led the army to avenge General Zhao Feng, and Zilong can be the vanguard of the front! ”
Zhao Yun thanked him, and Liu Xian looked at Liu Du with a look of hatred for iron and steel, and was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and trembled. Liu Du yelled at him: "Do you still want to be embarrassed here? Don't quit yet! ”
The next day, Liu Du summoned his ministers and wanted to abolish the position of Prince Liu Xian in public. Although Jia Xu, Liao Li and others tried their best to dissuade them, Liu Du still made a decision and ordered Liu Xian to be stripped of all his positions and returned to Shu for reflection.
During this time, Bajun Taishou Wenpin and Zhou Yu confronted Zhou Yu on the border for three months, and Liu Bei took the opportunity to recuperate and consolidate his rule in Jingzhou.
Jiangdong and Liu Bei were temporarily peaceful, while Han Xuan concentrated on running Qingzhou and Liaodong. General Cao Cao died of illness, and Gongsun Kang was also terminally ill, and it was a good time for Han Xuan to quickly expand his strength in Liaodong.
Tian Feng lived up to Han Xuan's expectations, and ordered Tian Yu to defend Gongsun Yuan, the son of Gongsun Kang, and Song Qian, Xu Sheng, and Ding Feng sent troops to help Yu Guo in three ways, giving the final blow to this country that had been corrupted by Han Xuan with five stone powder and paper money. Finally, in 217 A.D., the Buyeo Kingdom was destroyed, and it was divided into the territory of the Han Dynasty and changed to Gaochang County.
And the ancestral tribe of the Jurchens, who were also driven to the Sakhalin area because of the tribal extermination policy that Han Xuan had previously concluded with the Buyeo State. After that, Han Dang continued to lead his troops to encircle and suppress, and finally completely erased them from the map of East Asia.
Zi returned to Liu Du's military camp, Liu Du looked at the east and gritted his teeth and hated: "Han Xuan! You, a trustworthy person, dare to provoke Liu Bei to attack my three counties. I want to destroy Liu Bei first, and then destroy you Jiangdong! ”
Zhao Yun had long wanted revenge and took the initiative to ask Ying to be the vanguard. At this time, Jia Xu said on the side: "The king wants to fight with Liu Bei, and he is afraid that Han Xuan will be his foreign aid." It's better to send an envoy to join forces with Cao Cao and ask him to attack Jiangdong, so that Han Xuan has no time to aid Liu Bei, and then send troops! ”
But seeing Zhuge Liang, he hurriedly dissuaded: "The king can't!" The man and the thief do not stand apart. Cao Cao is a national thief, and the lord is a descendant of the Han family, how can he unite with him? It is advisable to send an envoy to Jiangdong to make an alliance with Han Xuan, so that he will cut off contact with Liu Bei. ”
Liu Du remembered all the unpleasantness with Han Xuan before, glared at Zhuge Liang angrily, and then said: "This matter should be according to Jia Wenhe's words!" ”
At this time, Cao Cao was worried about the affairs of Qingzhou, Wei Yan defended the Jiaodong Peninsula well, and Tian Feng sent a navy from Liaodong to help. Cao Cao couldn't do anything about Wei Yan at all, and just when he had a headache, he suddenly reported that Liu Du had sent an envoy to come.
"Liu Du has always regarded himself as orthodox, and this time he will ask me for peace. Hehe~" After Cao Cao listened to the envoy's statement, he said to Sima Yi, Dong Zhao and other strategists with a smile.
At this time, he saw Sima Yi persuading and said: "The king is now in Qingzhou for a long time, it is really not worth it, and leaving a Zang Ba is enough to be an enemy." I see that Han Xuan in Jiangdong has the heart to be the king, and it is advisable to take advantage of the mutual dislike between Liu Du and Han Xuan to break Jiangdong and destroy Han Xuan first. When Liu Du and Liu Bei are both defeated, they will take Jingzhou, and then Pingxichuan, the world can be determined! ”
After hearing this, Cao Cao laughed and said, "Zhongda's words are very much in line with my wishes. I have ordered the generals to govern the army, and the army will come to Japan to conquer Han Xuan in the south! ”
