Chapter 118: Liu Cong's Surrender
Cheng Yu saw the defeat of the Jingzhou soldiers, so the sergeant shouted: "Those who surrender will not be killed." New Pen Fun Ξ Pavilion .*"
There were 30,000 soldiers from Jingzhou, and less than 2,000 could run back to the city, and the elite that Liu Bei had accumulated over the years had also come to naught because of following Liu Bei's charge. Yan Ming and Chen Zhi heard that Liu Bei and Wen Chou were killed, and they looked up to the sky and howled, like a wolf howling in the moon, and like an ape crying in Wuxia, indescribably sad and inexhaustible desolation. After a long roar, the two looked at each other and smiled miserably, struggled to break away from the soldiers beside them, ran a few steps, and hit their heads against the village wood and died.
When the Han army heard about it, they were all moved. Cheng Yu said: "It's rare for the four of them to be so loyal, and they are really heroes through the ages." Wen Yuan, Xuan Gao, choose a feng shui treasure land, and order the sergeant to bury them. β
The news of Liu Bei's fiasco spread to Xiangyang City, and Liu Pan followed and returned, although he knew that none of the ten sentences Zhang Liao said might be true, but he still relayed Zhang Liao's meaning.
Liu Bei fought the Cao army twice, and his reputation was far and wide, and he fought with the Han army, but he ended up in such a fate, Jingzhou's civil and military forces were all silent, and no one dared to mention fighting the Han army again.
Liu Cong looked at Liu Qi, hoping that the eldest brother would think of a way, Liu Qi searched his intestines and scraped his stomach, so what was the good idea. Seeing that Liu Qi was speechless, Liu Cong set his eyes on Kuai Yue, "Kuai Gong, the Han army is fierce, and no one in Jingzhou can stop it." The clan brother relayed the meaning of the Han general Zhang Liao, which must have been clear. Where to go from Jingzhou, please take an idea. β
Kuai Yue said: "Emperor Liu Ze of the Han Dynasty has always been famous for his faith and righteousness, and what Zhang Liao said may not be false. Why not send General Liu Pan to communicate with the Han army, first for the funeral of Laozhou, and then it is never too late to set Jingzhou to go. β
Seeing that what Kuai Yue said was reasonable, Liu Cong nodded, turned his head to Liu Pan and said, "Then how about another hard trip to the clan brother?" β
Liu Pan was ordered to come to the Han army Dazhai again, and Zhang Liao continued, "General Liu went and returned, I don't know what advice you have?" β
Liu Pan said: "The coffin of the clan uncle has been buried, just waiting for burial, but your army is standing in Dazhai, there is a lot of inconvenience, I don't know if your army can retreat for thirty miles and make way." β
"I don't know where the old state pastoral mausoleum is?"
"Nanyang Tongbai Dafu Mountain, has been governed for more than ten years."
(Many of Liu Biao's tombs are recorded in a mile outside the city of Xiangyang.) Privately, I think that Liu Biao is in charge of Jingzhou and has made remarkable achievements, and he will definitely not renovate his mausoleum near Xiangyang City, and he will definitely choose a feng shui treasure land that is close to the mountains and water. In history, Cao Cao sent troops to attack Nanyang in July of the thirteenth year of Jian'an, Liu Biao died in August, and Cao Cao had already fought to Xinye in September, and Liu Cong surrendered immediately. It can be inferred from this that after Liu Biao's death, he should have been hastily buried by Liu Cong in the east of Xiangyang City. Liu Cong did not have the time or the courage to bury Liu Biao in Tongbai Dafu Mountain, which belonged to Nanyang County, when Cao Cao's soldiers were pressing. οΌ
"No problem. The deceased is great, and our army will provide all convenience. Zhang Liao said magnificently.
Liu Pan was overjoyed, bid farewell to Zhang Liao, and hurriedly returned to the city to resume his life. Liu Cong didn't expect the Han army to be so generous, and immediately began to arrange Liu Biao's burial.
A month has passed, Liu Biao has also been buried, and the Han army Dazhai is still standing outside Xiangyang City, and Liu Cong has to face this problem. After discussing with his subordinates for a few days, he chose an auspicious day of the zodiac, Liu Cong held the seal ribbon in his hand, and opened the city to Shun.
Cheng Yu, as a representative of the Chinese side, took over Liu Cong's ribbon. Immediately issued one order after another, Liu Cong, Liu Qi and their families went to Luoyang to face the saint and wait for the reward. Zhang Liao and Zang Ba accepted the Xiangyang army and carried out reorganization. Jingzhou Yuanwu Minister, Kuai Yue is the commander of Jingzhou, Han Song is the ruler of the country, Yi is mainly Bo, Deng Yi and Liu Xian are all engaged. Wen Ping, Wang Wei, Su Fei, Liu Pan, and Zhang Yun were all appointed as Zhonglang generals and obeyed orders with the army. Cheng Yu is the history of Jingzhou.
The seven counties of Jingzhou, Nanyang, Jiangxia, and Nanjun have fallen into the bag, and there are still four counties that are remote and have not received news. Cheng Yu ordered Fu Xun to be the envoy and Liu Pan to be the escort, and went to the four counties of Jingnan to explain the situation and order him to surrender.
Jingnan four counties, Changsha County, Taishou Han Xuan; Lingling County, Taishou Liu Du; Guiyang County, Taishou Zhao Fan; Wuling County, too shou Jinxuan. In Mr. Luo's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", these four guards have their own thoughts and minds to deal with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun who came to conquest, with a lot of gimmicks. In fact, since the Battle of Chibi, Liu Bei has gained a firm foothold in Jingzhou, and these people are not fools, and they are beautiful to resist with the wind.
Xu Shu and Lu Bu worked together for a short time, and it became clear that Lu Bu was a straight-hearted character, and he only relied on his personal bravery to fight, and he was not likely to turn around. At this time, Lu Bu's flamboyant personality has converged a lot, and Xu Shu is a ranger, and the two really have a common language, so they get along very happily.
Xu Shu pondered, Han Sui was dragging with the court so unruly, it was not a way, he had to think about the whole thing, find an excuse, and kill this old boy, not only to solve the worries of the court, but also to make a great contribution to himself and Lu Bu? Xu Shu began to pay attention to Han Sui's situation. Han Sui has been the dominant Xiliang for many years, relying on his eight generals, known as the eight generals, namely Liang Xing, candidate, Cheng Yin, Li Kan, Zhang Heng, Cheng Yi, Ma Wan, and Yang Qiu. These eight people were all small warlord leaders in Liangzhou, and they were subdued by Han Sui, among whom Liang Xing and the candidates were more powerful, and their strength was also the highest. Without the support of these eight people, Han Sui's power would inevitably be greatly reduced. Do you bring these eight people to your side or find a way to cut them off one by one? Xu Shu thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with a complete strategy.
Lu Bu also has eight strong generals, due to the appearance of Liu Ze, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and Zang Ba broke away from Lu Bu, and finally Lu Bu still has six generals under him, namely Hao Meng, Cao Xing, Cheng Lian, Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng. The ancients seemed to be particularly interested in the number eight, and LΓΌ Bu included Li Su and promoted a young general, Li Chun, to make up enough of the number of eight strong generals. Xiahoudun is known as the one-eyed general, not that he was born with one eye. Xiahoudun's left eye was blinded by Cao Xing, Cao Xing is definitely not a blind cat who caught a dead mouse, he can rank among the eight strong generals under Lu Bu's account, there must be his set, from this point of view, one arrow blinds Xiahoudun, archery skills are enough to be proud.
The land of Xiliang is thin and cold, the population is not large, and the real estate is scarce, so Han Sui and his subordinates, plundering is an indispensable means. In Guzang City, Wuwei County, Liang Xing held a wine glass, drinking a burning knife beautifully, and his cronie Liang Bao reported: "Big brother, the grain and grass transported by the Han army for the Western Regions are full of 300 carts. The car was loaded with an unknown amount of wine, and the fragrance wafted for miles. They will soon arrive at Guzang, big brother, do you think? Liang Bao made a movement to wipe his neck, and before he finished the gesture, he felt that his body flew out.
"Grandma, you want to die, don't pull me!" Liang Xing roared loudly, "After Ma Mengqi left, Lu Bu's army was placed in the north and stable, do you think they are vegetarians?" Who is Lu Bu? When he is the first brave general today, looking at the entire Xiliang, the ones who can fight him are Meng Qi and Yan Xing. Lao Tzu hasn't lived enough, get out. β
Liang Bao crawled out of Liang Xing's lobby, turned his head to look at Liang Xing, who was still drinking a little wine, and a fierce color flashed in his eyes: Grandma, Lao Tzu saddled the horse for you, I don't know how many things I robbed. You don't want the supplies of the Han army, but you dare to kick Lao Tzu? If you don't stay here, you have a place to stay here, Lao Tzu doesn't mix with you, he gathered his thousands of brothers, robbed the grain cart of the Han army, and went to the grass on the Qiang Mountain.
Xu Shu's plan to lure the snake out of the hole did not let Liang Xing take the bait, but accidentally caught Liang Bao. Liang Bao knew that with 1,000 people, it was impossible to defeat the 3,000 Han troops escorting the grain carts, so he sent his cronies to Shaodangqiang to discuss with the king of Jiaodangqiang. Burn when Qiang dwells in the Dayun Valley, mainly animal husbandry, later the territory gradually expanded, occupy the north of Qinghai and the west of Gansu a place, because of the fertile land, agriculture has been greatly developed, the west of Qinghai Lake (then called the West Sea), get the benefit of fishing and salt, the power is quickly expanded, for the crown of the Qiang people, Mi Dang is therefore also elected as the king of the Qiang people.
When he heard the materials of the Han army's three hundred carts, his little eyes narrowed, this temptation was too great, you must know that the Han army's carts can hold thousands of catties of materials, three hundred carts, what is the concept? The so-called beauty is charming, the wealth is moving, and the fan decided to cooperate with Liang Bao to do this vote, and it will be divided into fifty or five after the matter is completed.
The general of the Han army escorting grain and grass was Hao Meng, one of the eight strong generals under Lu Bu. After Hao Meng left Guzang, he went to Zhangye County, passed through Rile City, went out of Rile City, and then to the west, there were endless mountains. The defender of the city of Rile is a candidate for a younger brother, named Hou Dai. Hou Dai saw the heavy grain and grass of the Han army, his eyes were green, and he could only swallow saliva in the face of three thousand soldiers armed to the teeth. Hao Meng deliberately took off slowly along the way, pretending to be full of indifference, and went out of Rile early the next morning, looking at the mountains in front of him, Hao Meng said in his heart: If you don't come again, Lao Tzu will be busy in vain.
Three thousand people and horses walked for a long time, people were sleepy and tired, Hao Meng ordered to bury the pot and make rice. The centaurs dispersed and began to rest.
Liang Bao and the king of Midang looked at Hao Meng's scattered people, and were secretly happy that grandma's chance to drop was coming. A sharp whistle sounded, and the king of Midang held a scimitar and killed Liang Bao's men and horses.
Hao Meng laughed in his heart, and said that Lao Tzu was not busy in vain this time, and shouted: "The grain cart is formed to defend against the enemy." Then he drew an arrow from his waist and threw it into the air.
Liang Bao and Midang's men and horses rushed to charge, and were attacked by a rain of arrows first. Liang Bao still had a little military common sense, and said loudly: "The shield is forward, block the incoming arrows, and the rest of the men and horses, bow and arrow to return fire." β
The shield of the Qiang people is made of solid wood and covered with yak hide, which is light and durable. The Han sergeants relied on the cart as a cover, and the arrows shot as if they didn't cost anything, injuring thousands of enemies. The confusion was anxious, and he scolded in Qiang language, and the Qiang people began to charge desperately. Hao Meng saw the enemy approaching and shouted: "Meet the enemy with short soldiers." "One man and one horse took the lead in killing the past.
Liang Bao and Midang have more than 7,000 men and horses, twice the size of the Han army, and the Qiang people live in the cold plateau, with strong bodies and good combat power. The Han army formed a formation to meet the enemy, and the three sides fought together. The Han army is determined to lure the enemy, and the Qiang people are determined to have money; The Han army mainly defended, while the Qiang people only attacked but did not defend.
Liang Bao's 1,000 men and horses are all his usual friends, and everyone is the choice of 100 generals, and the combat strength is strong, and the Han army is gradually weakened. No matter how brave Hao Meng was, he couldn't stop so many people from besieging him, and he couldn't help but feel anxious. Seeing that Liang Bao and Midang were about to succeed, a cavalry slaughtered them with smoke and dust. Immediately, the general put a pheasant feather on his head, wearing chain mail, and a robe of red brocade and flowers in Xichuan, which was Lu Bu. The arrival of LΓΌ Bu quickly turned the tide of the battle, and a charge dispersed the combined forces of Liang Bao and the Qiang people. Liang Bao and Mi saw that the other party was prepared, and secretly regretted it, so they wanted to retreat.
Xu Shu shouted to Lu Bu: "Feng Xian, be sure to capture the evil alive." β
Lu Bu let out a long laugh, and heard it for several miles: "Lu Bu and Lu Feng are here first, and those who descend will not be killed." β
Lu Bu's name is definitely a sound of the world, after the Qiang people heard it, their legs and stomachs were weak, this is the shadow of the famous tree of the people, the Qiang people saw the majestic Lu Bu immediately after seeing the red rabbit, and they all silently put down their weapons. Liang Bao stole chickens and rice, and took advantage of the chaos to flee to the mountains surrounded by hundreds of brothers. Lu Bu has been in Liangzhou for so long, he recognized Liang Bao as Liang Xing's cronies, sneered, his wrist was slightly forced, Fang Tian's halberd was inserted into the ground, he took out the painting bird bow from the saddle, put on the wolf's tooth arrow, and shot an arrow, hitting Liang Bao's thigh. Liang Bao snorted and fell to the ground.
