The 290th Battle of Changsha
However, he said that the Guiyang Incident only killed Liu Biao, Kuai Yue, and Cai Mao, and the rest of the people fled from the secret road and returned to Xiangyang, but they did not discuss the crusade against Liu Bei and avenged the Lord, but quarreled over the matter of establishing an heir. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Liu Biao has two sons, one is Liu Qi and the other is Liu Cong; Liu Qi is now in his twenties, and Liu Cong is ten years younger than him, and he is still young. But because of the early death of Liu Qi's mother, Liu Biao's current wife, Cai, bullied Liu Qi's single force, intending to make Liu Cong his heir.
But because of Cai Mao's death, his younger brothers Cai Zhong and Cai He were incapable, and Cai's power was very small, and they fought against Liu Qi's faction, and they were at a stalemate for a while.
For a while, except for Huang Zushang of Jiangxia, who was resisting Sun Ce, the rest of the people joined the battle of the heir; Although this Jingzhou is calm on the surface, it is turbulent in the dark.
I don't know when Jingzhou will usher in a new owner.
But even if it is the master, it is only the master of Jingbei; Most of Jingnan's territory had fallen into Liu Bei's hands.
However, after Liu Bei occupied Guiyang, he hurriedly ordered the Mifang troops in Lingling, the Shamoke troops in Wuling, and the Huang Chao troops in Changsha to attack the city immediately. Suddenly, the three ways attacked together, and took Lingling and Wuling in one go, and the Taishou and generals in the city surrendered one after another, and Liu Bei's power increased greatly.
But there are exceptions, Changsha Taishou Liu Pan is Liu Biao's nephew, I heard that Liu Bei killed Liu Biao, vowed not to surrender, and wanted to live and die with Changsha. Changsha was only a thousand soldiers and horses, and it was able to withstand the attack of the Yellow Mess.
The Shanyue army is good at mountain warfare, so it is very good in Yangzhou, but Changsha is the place where the three rivers converge, and the terrain is flat, how can other Shanyue troops capture it at will? Moreover, the Shanyue army had no plan, and Liu Pan, Huang Zhong and other Changsha guards repeatedly used strange tactics, but they actually defeated the Huang Chao's troops.
However, in the entire Jingnan, only one Changsha is still surviving, and the other counties have chosen to surrender when they see Liu Bei's great momentum.
When Liu Bei heard of the defeat of the Huang Rebellion, he raised troops to come to Changsha and personally supervised the siege. This Changsha has been an important town in Jingnan since the Warring States Period, guarding the throat of Jingnan; Although Liu Bei occupied the other three counties, none of them were as important as a Changsha.
Changsha, he is determined to win!
However, it was said that Liu Bei led an army of 5,000 to the city of Changsha, and saw that the arrow platform above the city tower was built high, and there were countless corpses under the city, and the debris was all over the ground, all of which were smashed siege utensils.
Liu Bei didn't know that there were only 1,000 soldiers and horses in Changsha, and thought that the soldiers and horses in the city were about the same as the 5,000 people in his hands, so he didn't dare to underestimate them, and wanted to persuade Changsha Taishou to surrender with his own tongue.
But Pang Tong stopped: "The lord is a golden body, and now he is in danger, and finally when he gets to the three counties of Jingnan, how can he be in danger again and fall into the encirclement of the enemy?" ”
Liu Bei said instead: "Liu Pan has an old relationship with us, and I don't know the inside story, so I tried my best to resist." Now I go and lobby alone, even if I can't convince them, so that I can understand my sincerity. ”
"In that case, we need to let the generals under our command go with us!"
Liu Bei shook his head and said: "Huang Zhong, a veteran of Changsha, is skilled in bows and horses, wears Yang in a hundred steps, and is known as Yang Youji; If I lead people there, I will only increase the doubts of others, and I will be killed with a single arrow. The military advisor has to say more, and he will go back if he goes! ”
Pang Tong couldn't be convinced, so he could only let Liu Bei go, at this time he not only envied Liu Bei's wisdom in Guiyang, but also admired his courage now; It seems that he really didn't choose the wrong person.
Liu Bei came to the city alone, and saw that there were no ten thousand arrows shot in the city, and his heart was a lot more stable; After a while, I saw Liu Pan standing on top of the city tower, looking at Liu Bei, his eyes were full of anger, and he shouted: "Shameless horseman!" Kill my old master, there is really no faith! ”
Liu Bei immediately saluted and said respectfully: "Liu Panxian's nephew, listen to me." ”
Liu Pan sneered, shouted Huang Zhong to come, bent his bow and arrow, and then said to Liu Bei: "Liu Bei, do you know the name of my Huang Hansheng who wears Yang in a hundred steps?" How dare you come alone, but you underestimate me? ”
"Naturally, I don't dare, but I have some words, and I must talk to my nephew."
"Humph! If what I say doesn't suit me, this arrow will immediately pierce my throat! ”
Liu Bei smiled slightly, and saluted Huang Zhong again: "General Huang, be merciful under the arrow." ”
Huang Zhong's eyes were complicated, after all, he believed in a loyal word, Liu Bei was not loyal to Liu Biao, this is what he knew, how could he be bewitched by Liu Bei now? Then he replied: "Uncle Liu, we are waiting for the soldiers to meet now, although Han Sheng does not want to harm the emperor, but I hope that the emperor's uncle can understand!" ”
"It's ...... nature"
Liu Bei smiled slightly, and said to Liu Pan: "Virtuous nephew, this matter is a long story; A certain Yu Cangwu stationed, stationed troops to defend Shixie, never thought that Brother Jingsheng was puzzled by me, and set up a Hongmen banquet in Guiyang, waiting for me to vote. If it weren't for Brother Jingsheng's master, he would have almost died! Cai Mao wanted to kill me, but I killed him; Zhang Yun wanted to harm me, but instead stabbed Brother Jingsheng into serious injuries; Knowing that it would be difficult to escape this fate, he could only make this decision and kill Brother Jingsheng ......"
Liu Bei said almost all the truth, but it became his helplessness to kill Liu Biao; But this is understandable, after all, if you don't say more good things about yourself in this case, is it difficult to raise Liu Biao?
But Liu Pan didn't seem to eat this, but shouted: "What a helpless move!" So how do you explain Lingling County and Wuling County? I'm afraid that you have premeditated, otherwise how could there be soldiers and horses attacking so soon? ”
Liu Bei didn't hide much, and said with a smile: "In the troubled times, Xuande is famous in the world for his benevolent name, but now that I think about it, I feel guilty; But if you don't have the slightest means, how can you gain a foothold in the troubled times? The virtuous nephew is a descendant of the Han family, such as today, Cao Cao occupies two of them, Jingsheng's brother is dead, only Xuande and Yizhou Liu Zhang, have the heart of Kuang to help the Han. If the virtuous nephew has the Han family in his heart, he still hopes that we will not meet each other in battle! ”
"Tell me all about it! Huang Zhong, shoot him with me! ”
Huang Zhong was obviously a little hesitant, and the arrow was reluctant to shoot for a long time.
"Do you want to disobey?"
"The last general didn't dare, but I just hoped that General Liu would focus on the overall situation; Uncle Liu Huang came alone, obviously trusting the general, if the general shoots him to death, won't he leave a reputation for eternity? It's better to let Liu Bei go for the time being, and we will fight a legitimate battle. ”
Huang Zhong said that it was indeed true, although Liu Pan was angry, he could also distinguish right from wrong, so he shouted to Liu Bei: "Liu Bei, spare your life today, I will fight again in the next day!" ”
Liu Bei saw that there was no hope of persuasion, so he could only leave in a huff, and ordered all the soldiers to surround Changsha and not attack it; And Liu Pan saw that Liu Bei was not in a hurry to attack, but just asked the generals and soldiers in the army to be on standby at all times.
"Military division, this Changsha city is quite strong, and it can't be attacked for a long time, what can I do about it?"
Pang Tong pondered for a moment and said: "The lord was able to survive the disaster, all because of Huang Zhong's loyalty before. Since this Huang Zhong favors the lord, it is better to start from this person! ”
"What's the matter with the military advisor?"
"The lord wrote a letter, detailing the cause and effect of Guiyang, but erased the key part of the letter, and ordered the secret envoy to send it to Huang Zhong, but asked our army informant to inform Liu Pan of the matter, Liu Pan saw the letter, he must be puzzled, if he does not believe Huang Zhong, he will be able to break Changsha!"
Liu Bei was overjoyed: "The military advisor's clever plan!" ”
That night, Liu Bei acted according to the plan and ordered a person with outstanding martial arts skills to sneak into the city and present a letter to Huang Zhong's mansion; Although Huang Zhong was puzzled, he still opened the letter and read it. Although the letter describes the matter of Guiyang quite clearly, there are many traces of ink spots. Huang Zhongzheng didn't know what to do, but someone came to report, Liu Pan came.
Liu Pan received a secret report from Liu Bei's informant, and Huang Zhong was unwilling to shoot Liu Bei on the city tower before, so he was suspicious, so he came to visit late at night. Huang Zhong thought that he was not afraid of shadows, so he invited Liu Pan to take a seat; Liu Pan asked Huang Zhong to submit Liu Bei's letter, and Huang Zhong did not doubt him and submitted it honestly.
As soon as he saw the letter, Liu Pan frowned: "Hansheng, why are there all scratches on the letter?" ”
"The last general also doesn't know, could it be that Liu Bei sent the draft?"
"Liu Bei is thoughtful, how could he send a draft?"
Liu Pan was secretly puzzled in his heart, and the two broke up unhappily after they had not talked for a few days. Huang Zhong knew that Liu Pan had fallen for Liu Bei's strategy, and he would no longer trust himself, so he said to his servants: "A certain is General Liu's subordinate, and now the general is suspicious of me, I can't bear to rebel, and you only say that I am seriously ill and can't get up to defend against the enemy......"
After everyone left, he said to himself again: "There is no Huang Hansheng in Changsha, and the day of breaking the city is not far away!" ”
Sure enough, Changsha without Huang Zhong's help to defend it, within three days, Liu Bei successfully took it and captured Liu Panji's subordinates.
Liu Bei turned on the Oscar actor mode again, and told Liu Pan everything about Guiyang, Liu Pan only thought that Liu Bei was cheating, but he never thought that Liu Bei used a strategy to kill Liu Biao, who intended to kill him, and it was understandable, so he demoted Liu Bei, and Liu Bei still let him be the Taishou of Changsha.
And the veteran Huang Zhong was also invited out of the mansion by Liu Bei, and the previous discord plan just became a topic of conversation for everyone in the future.
