Chapter 44: Saving Private Lei Xu (1)

When Liu Chan saw Zhang Fei, he turned his mind and said: "Third uncle, I know that the third aunt and Xiahou Yuan have not seen each other back then, and the third aunt misses her mother's relatives very much, please let the third aunt go to Dangyang with the children." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

Guan Yu was stunned when he heard this, stroked his beard and said: "Dou'er, the sword is ruthless when the big war is coming, why do you put your younger siblings and children in danger?" Zhang Fei was also puzzled and silent.

"Second uncle and third uncle, don't worry, Dou'er just wants the third aunt to meet her uncle Xiahou Yuan, but she has a matter on her mind." Liu Chan smiled mysteriously.

"Is that okay? What if Xiahou Yuan brought her back? I don't have a wife. When Zhang Fei heard this, he jumped up and stared at Liu Chan with wide eyes.

"Third Uncle don't worry, although Xiahou Yuan is also a killer butcher, he loves his relatives very much, and in order to support his younger brother, who is also the daughter of the third uncle's father-in-law, that is, the third uncle, his wife, he actually gave up his own son. When he was young, he also helped Cao Cao to go to prison, which shows that he attaches great importance to family affection, and it is impossible to do anything about hijacking. You go back and discuss it with the third aunt and then make a decision. Liu Chan comforted.

After everything was arranged, everyone went back separately to prepare.

The next day, Liu Chan, who had finished practicing early, asked 100 female soldiers to report to Huang Yueying to help defend Jingzhou City, and his mother Sun Shangxiang trained a total of 150 female soldiers and returned to Jiangdong with more than 30 people. He led Xiang Chong, Zong Pre and other thirty cavalry, all the way along the official road straight to Dangyang.

On this day, the wind and the sun are beautiful, the flowers are red and the grass is green, the scenery is beautiful, and the scenery is very beautiful. Liu Chan had no intention of appreciating it, and wanted to return to the place where he would never forget, Liu Chan's heart was surging and he had mixed tastes. The two mothers are buried here, and the two sisters were captured and plundered by Cao Chun, and their lives and deaths are uncertain, and they almost died at the hands of Cao Jun. Here buried countless Han volunteers and soldiers of the unyielding loyal bones and righteous souls, after the pacification of Jingzhou, Liu Bei spent a lot of manpower and money to carry out a collective burial of them, built a pagoda day "Han Zhongyi Pagoda", every year Qingming sacrifice.

Dangyang is adjacent to Yichang in the west, Jingmen in the east, Xiangyang Longzhong in the north, Jiangling in the south, and Hanjinkou in the southeast. Dangyang has a long history and is one of the important towns of Jingchu and one of the birthplaces of Chu culture. Because it is located in the south of the Jingshan Mountain Range, it takes the meaning of the south of the mountain as the yang, so it is called dangyang. When Yanggu was a power country, it was Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Warring States Period, Qin Shi built Dangyang County, which belonged to the South County, and the Dangyang region of the Western Han Dynasty was Linjiang State at the beginning, and Jiangling County was placed later. In the second year of Emperor Jingdi (148 B.C.), Jiangling was relocated to Dangyang County, and the territory under its jurisdiction was as before, and its county seat was later moved to the Fuzhang River Basin, bordering the Zhanghe River. In the Han Dynasty (9~24 AD), the county was promoted to Nanshun County, Lingyun County and Dangyang County. In the thirteenth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty (208 years), Wei Wu got Jingzhou, abolished Nanshun County and reestablished the county, and Dangyang County belonged to the same Nan County. In the fourteenth year, Cao Ren was defeated, and Dangyang and Bian County both belonged to Dongwu South County. In the nineteenth year of Jian'an, Wu Shu divided Jingzhou, and Dangyang and Bian counties belonged to Shu Han.

The highest peak, Nanbao Mountain, is more than 1,000 meters above sea level. Hills and hills are the main ones, supplemented by plains. The main mountain ranges include Yuquan Mountain, Yunmeng Mountain, Jinping Mountain, Yuyang Mountain, Fang Mountain, Lulin Mountain, Zigai Mountain, etc. Dangyang is located on the official road of Xiangjing, and its strategic position is very important.

Hearing that Liu Chan was coming, Lei Xu was extremely happy and trotted all the way to the outside of the yamen to greet him. When Lei Xu saw Liu Chan, he knelt down on one knee and bowed his head: "Bo Zhi see the little lord." ”

"Hurry up, General Lei has made outstanding achievements, hard work and high achievements, and he doesn't dare to accept this great gift, and he will torment me." Liu Chan hurriedly helped Lei Xu up and returned the salute.

"Childe loves the last general, I dare not be ashamed!" Lei Xu laughed heartily. Lei Xu, who is in his thirties, is tall and burly, bearded, mighty and majestic, and has a strong voice.

"Zhong Yi is here, I have seen the little lord." Lei Xu pulled over a young general. "Little lord, this is my brother Lei Tong."

"Lei Tong meets the little master." Lei Tong is more than 20 years old, with a straight nose and a square mouth, thick eyebrows and big eyes, handsome and majestic.

Lei Xu introduced his brother Lei Bo to Liu Chan again. Lei Bo turned out to be Yuan Shu's general, and because he was not ashamed of Yuan Shu's rebellion and became emperor, he left in anger and led the army to Lei Xu.

"I have heard the prestige of the three brothers of the Lei family for a long time, and I can see it today, it is indeed a righteous man and a hero of the Han Dynasty, and my father has your help, which is really a blessing of the Han Dynasty! Here, on behalf of my father and the people of the Han Dynasty, I thank you, and the high righteousness of the general will be remembered forever in the historical memory of the empire. Liu Chan bowed deeply and said meaningfully.

"General Bozhi is not afraid of Cao thief's cruelty and obscenity, is not confused by wealth and wealth, is not afraid of hardships and hardships, resolutely holds high the banner of the Han Dynasty, starts a legendary anti-Cao career, and leads his troops to return to the Han Dynasty to return to the light, which is really a model for righteous people in the world. After the defeat of Cao Thief Chibi, the old shame sent Xiahou Yuan to gather the generals of Cao Wei to come to the crusade, and General Lei fought against the generals of Cao Wei with his own strength, which can be said to be glorious despite defeat. It was the return of the general with tens of thousands of trilogy that greatly increased his father's strength, so that he had the capital to fight against Cao Cao's Sun Quan. Great! My father always recalled General Lei's feats, admired him so much, and said that the general had made great contributions to the country, and arranged for Qu to be Yang Taishou, too wronged to the general, and ashamed of the general. These are the heartfelt words of our father and son. Liu Chan took Lei Xu's big hand and said with tears in his eyes.

Hearing this, the brothers Lei Xu, Lei Bo, and Lei Tong were extremely moved, and their eyes were red. Lei Xu said: "The lord is a royal family of the Han Dynasty, loyal to the monarch and patriotic, thinking of the people, taking Kuang Fu Han as his own responsibility, faithfulness and righteousness in the four seas, and taking over the heroes." The prestige of the lord has long been like thunder, and the gods have been friends for a long time. It is a great honor for our brothers to have the honor to serve the Lord and revive the Han Dynasty. What about grievances. Now that we are taken in by the lord, our brothers and sisters live and work in Jingzhou, which is enough! ”

"I, Mei Cheng, and Chen Lan are all from Lujiang, originally under Yuan Shu, because Yuan Shu was eager for success and profit, and tried to be the emperor in vain, we were loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty who swore not to stand with the Han thieves, so they abandoned it. The three brothers gathered tens of thousands of people to run rampant between the Jianghuai and the Huai River, waiting to act. Ten years ago, Sun Ce ordered his Lujiang Taishou Li Shu to attack and kill Cao Cao's Yangzhou Assassin Yan Xiang, the local counties were ruined and abandoned due to the chaotic situation in the Jianghuai region, so the imperial court sent Liu Fu to govern Yangzhou as the assassin. Liu Tingshi was single-handedly ordered to establish the new governance office of Yangzhou in Hefei, which was greatly favored and educated, and gathered Confucian scholars to build schools and develop production, which won the hearts of the people. He came to appease him several times, and our brothers were moved by it, so they followed him to defend the country. I never thought that Cao Cao wanted to swallow the world and lead a large army to conquer Jingzhou Jiangdong, and feasted the ministers on a moon's night before the war. Cao thief wrote poems, and Liu Tingshi said that the black magpie was unlucky, and he was stabbed to death by him in the name of defeat. Cao thief's brutal killing and anti-thief nature aroused the great indignation of the people of Yangzhou, and our brothers were grateful to Liu Thorn Shi Ende, and they took advantage of the defeat of the old thief Chibi to uncover the pole. The old thief was ashamed and angry, and before fleeing back to the north, he sent Xiahou Yuan Governor Xu Huang and Zhang He to attack, and with the support of the local people, we flexibly maneuvered with it, so that Xiahou Yuan returned in vain. Hou Yuan has come back this summer, and I believe that under the planning and coordination of the little lord and the military advisor, he will be defeated. ”

Ma Liang on the side praised: "Little lord, since General Lei governed Dangyang, he has built water conservancy to develop agriculture and mulberry, recruited displaced people, planted grain in the fields, and the government was harmonious, and the people returned to their hearts." Moreover, he stockpiled supplies, repaired the city walls, trained the soldiers hard, taught the formations, and had enough food for the soldiers. He is deeply rooted in the subtlety of the history of Mr. Zhuge and Liu Fu, and he is really a great talent with both civil and military skills. ”

Liu Chan inspected Dangyang City with Lei Xu and Ma Liang, and was very pleased to see that the people had plenty of food and clothing, their faces were happy, the soldiers were strong, the warehouses were full, the city walls were strong, and there was a thriving and prosperous scene.

The east and west of Dangyang City are all high mountains, south to Jiangling, choke the throat of Xiangfan to Jiangling official road, the north is a large plain, with a radius of more than ten square kilometers, and the surrounding woods are dense. Liu Chan looked at the terrain, counted it in his heart, and secretly sighed that it was really an excellent venue for the battle.

During the inspection, Liu Chan asked about the whereabouts of Mei Cheng and Chen Lan, and Lei Xu saw that Liu Chan was extremely concerned, so he reported the relevant situation.

After the defeat of Chibi, Cao Cao, who was unwilling to fail, cleaned up the remnants of the defeated army, reorganized the army in Hefei, and issued the Xin Wei Order: "Since the beginning of Cao's army, the army has not been broken, or in the miasma of the epidemic, the soul of the soldiers has been cut off, so that the soldiers' families are disgruntled, and the people are displaced; And how can you be happy to rule the world alone? It was really a last resort, and he was forced to build a teacher. This order: If the soldiers who go out on the expedition die in the war, and the family has no land and it is difficult for them to survive on their own, the county officials shall not cut off rice and grain, and the chief officials shall give them a bereavement pension diligently to praise me. "Mobilize the magistrates of Yangzhou County, recruit people to open up wasteland and fields, and prepare for a long-term confrontation with Sun Quan.

The real purpose of Cao Cao's army in Hefei was ostensibly to grow crops in front of Sun Quan's house, but in fact it was to eliminate the hidden danger inside, that is, the rebellion that would occur in Lujiang County. Chibi had just been defeated, Lujiang battalion commander Lei Xu openly revolted, Cao Cao sent Xiahou Yuan to supervise the generals to quell the rebellion, but although the victory was useless, Lujiang Lei Xu actually took tens of thousands of elite soldiers to Liu Bei, so that Liu Bei, who had obtained the six counties of Jingzhou and officially served as the pastor of Jingzhou, increased his strength and became the male lord of Cao Cao and Sun Quan who were very jealous.
