433. Conquest of Soochow
Liu Bei personally led the army to the foot of Mount Tai City, and the few people left by Cao Cao in Mount Tai City surrendered after holding Mount Tai City for a day.
After Liu Bei won Mount Tai, he originally wanted to lead a large army to intercept Cao's army with Han Fei. As a result, news came from the front that Han Fei's army had retreated, and Cao Cao was let go by him.
Liu Bei was very depressed after learning the news, and it took so many dark swords to hit Cao Cao hard, but he didn't expect Han Fei to let Cao Cao go. Thinking that the opportunity to kill Cao Cao was just slipping away in vain, Liu Bei couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in his heart.
However, Liu Bei also knew that Han Fei would not make this decision for no reason, and there must be hidden secrets that he didn't know. So Liu Bei was stationed in Taishan City, waiting for Han Fei to come and give him a reasonable explanation.
Two days later, Han Fei rushed to Taishan City with his people, and after meeting, Han Fei told Liu Bei what had happened. Liu Bei sighed after hearing this and said, "It seems that Cao Cao's life should not be extinguished!" I didn't expect so many people to die in the Darksword Department, and I couldn't save his life. ”
Han Fei heard Liu Bei's words and immediately got up and saluted, "Lord, this matter is my negligence!" I atone for the sins of the dead soldiers, and I am willing to donate money to build a martyr's cemetery near Changyi City. The people who died in the moth plan will be a separate monument for future generations to pay homage to. ”
Han Fei's proposal made Liu Bei's heart move, and he asked casually, "This martyr's cemetery is the burial place of the soldiers?" ”
Han Fei nodded and shook his head and said: "Back to the lord, this martyr's cemetery is mainly to commemorate the great achievements of the soldiers, and there can be several monuments inside, and the names of the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the great cause of the lord will be engraved on the monument, and the descendants will pay tribute and pay respects." Of course, if the lord agrees, the remains of the soldiers can also be transported to it for burial, but in this way, the area required for the martyr's cemetery will be much larger. ”
Han Fei's explanation Liu Bei immediately thought of the benefits of the martyr's cemetery, and he immediately agreed to Han Fei's request. Let him donate a year's money to build the martyr's cemetery, if there is a shortage, Liu Bei will use the inner treasury to make up for it. After the matter was settled, Liu Bei returned to Changyi City with his men and horses, leaving the general Zang Ba to guard Taishan City. Zhuge Liang's elder brother Zhuge Jin was sent to Taishan City to replace the dead Zhuge Xuan and became the other driver of Taishan City.
And Han Fei did not rush back to Changyi City with Liu Bei, he still had a task to complete, that is, the army of Eastern Wu is still besieging Jianye City, so Han Fei was ordered to go to conquer Eastern Wu.
Liu Bei is iron-hearted this time, he must hit Dongwu once before he can be willing. After Han Fei was ordered, he led Zhang Fei, Ju Yi and others to the south, and Zhuge Liang heard that Han Fei asked to attack Eastern Wu, so he asked for orders to follow. Han Fei thought about it and agreed, so the army marched straight to Xuzhou.
In Guangling City, Zhang He was still training with his wounds, although Xu Huang withdrew with his men and horses after learning that Cao Cao was injured, but Dongwu did not seem to intend to accept it when he saw it. The generals Cheng Pu and Han Dang led the army to continue to garrison thirty miles outside Guangling City, in order to contain Zhang He's troops and prevent them from going to rescue Tai Shici in Jianye City.
Han Fei led the army all the way to the vicinity of Guangling City five days later. As soon as Cheng Pu heard that Han Fei had arrived with a large army, he immediately gathered his men and horses and returned to the south bank of the Yangtze River overnight.
When he saw Zhang He again, Han Fei was really startled? I saw that his face was yellow and thin, his cheeks were fleshless, and his spirit was even more depressed. "General Zhang, what's wrong with you?" Han Fei hurriedly asked.
Zhang He smiled bitterly and said, "I am relieved that you are here, military advisor." There were no generals in the city before, so I could only support myself, and if I continued like this, I would really die. ”
Han Fei hurriedly comforted him when he heard this: "General Zhang, don't worry, since I'm here, I'll leave everything here to me." Hurry up and heal from your wounds, and then I'll have to rely on the general a lot!" ”
Zhang He answered, and then someone helped him down to rest. After Zhang He left, Han Fei couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and said, "Sun Quan, Zhou Yu!" Looks like I'm going to settle the score with you now! ”
Thinking of this, Han Fei immediately convened everyone to discuss the matter. Zhang Fei, Ju Yi, Zhang Xiu and others soon arrived. After the people arrived, Han Fei immediately began to assign tasks, because of a previous water battle with Soochow, which caused a lot of losses in the big ships in the navy. Now, more than a year has passed, and the big ship has still not been replenished.
Therefore, it took two days to cross the river alone, and this time it should be to take a boat, Zhang Fei did not rush to grab the position of the pioneer. Han Fei knew his thoughts, and did not break it, but sent Zhang Xiu as the vanguard to take the lead on the other side of the river, and set up camp to provide convenience for the follow-up army.
Zhang Xiu took the order and left, and with the help of the general of the navy, Huang Jie, Zhang Xiu's vanguard army rushed to the other side of the Yangtze River in half a day.
