Chapter 80: Liu Bei sealed the river and swept Jinfan, Huang Zhong deceived and defeated the Shi clan
Lord Lu asked his close ministers again, how is Jing Han doing lately? Huang Tao, the waiter, said: "The uncle of the Han Emperor is in Jingzhou, spreading benevolence and righteousness, and the statement is rising again. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info There are Wolong, Feng Xiao and Xu Shu and other support, training troops in Xinye, Jiangxia, and grain in Jiangling, sooner or later there is the heart of the Han Dynasty. Recently, he went south to Jiaozhou, swept away the mutiny, and made the border court clean. ”
It turned out that Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor, recruited wise men, and opened a hotel in Xiangyang. Ordered Kong Ming, Liu Mi and others to receive guests from all over the world. Over the years, you and I have been admonishing each other. First, Pang Tong, a native of Xiangyang, came to vote. Liu Bei heard the name of Pang Tong early and accepted it with joy. Pang Tong also admonished Yingchuan Xu Shu. Liu Bei hired him in person. Xu Shu also admonished Yicheng "Ma's Five Constants", which is Ma Xuan, and the word Bochang; Ma Kang, the word Zhongchang; Ma Jin, the word Shuchang; Ma Liang, the word Ji Chang; Ma Tan, the word is young. The five brothers all have talents that have passed through the heavens and latitudes, and Liu Bei hired them with heavy courtesy. All five of them went out of the mountain to assist Jing Han. The general Wei Yan recommended a general, and Huang Zhong, the general of Changsha. Prince Liu Bei Changsha begged for it, took back Xiangyang, and served as General Jianwei. There is also the leader of Dongtingwu, Lei Xu, who led everyone to surrender. Liu Bei saw that Lei Xu was brave and fierce, so he accepted him as a lieutenant and went to Changsha and other places to guard. Since then, Jinghan talents have flourished, and the statement has risen. The princes of the Quartet came to congratulate, more than 200 places. The Ma brothers recommended a total of one person, a native of Linhuai Dongchuan, surnamed Lu and named Su. Liu Bei sent people to Linhuai with heavy gifts to find him, but they failed to meet. The villagers told that they had invited Zhou Yu to Jiangdong a month ago. So he had no chance with Lu Su.
On the Yangtze River, there are often water thieves who make trouble. After Liu Bei ascended the throne, he sent the general Wen Ping of the left and the general Wei Yan of the chariot cavalry, from Jiangxia to Kuiguan, and swept along the river. Then the **** was expelled, so that the two sides of the strait were peaceful. Most of the Yangtze River thieves abandoned evil and followed good, and some turned to other places. The following year, the Xiangjiang River broke out. Raiding homes and robbing houses, there is no peace within a hundred miles. The patrol of the Xiangjiang River made Liu Zhong report back to the DPRK. Liu Bei convened Kong Ming, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Ma Liang and others to discuss, and said: "The Yangtze River is flat, Wei Yan and Wen Ping have not returned, and the Xiangjiang River has been in trouble again. Xu Shu admonished: "The thief of the Xiangjiang River is also the thief of the Jinfan of the Great River." The head of the thief is called Gan Ning, the word Xingba, who fights for righteousness and squanders money, is proficient in martial arts and resourcefulness, and is a fierce general. Why didn't Your Majesty make an order? If it can be successful, it will also show His Majesty's benevolent and righteous rule. Liu Beiranzhi issued a decree to recruit An, and ordered Liu Zhong to lead the Praetorian Guard with 3,000 soldiers, and go to the Xiangjiang River with Zhao'an and imperial wine and meat. Liu Zhongnai was Liu Biao's old general, and later returned to Jing Han. People are small-minded, and they must be compared. He once sent his family to transport grain to the north for resale, but was robbed by Jinfan thieves on the river, so he held a grudge and often thought about revenge. Today, the envoy was recruited, but he was really unhappy, and he was depressed. Liu Zhong went to Xiangjiang and refused to go to **** water village. I was afraid that the court would condemn and wander the river. After thinking about it, he hurriedly returned to the account and changed the Zhao'an situation privately. The rewards awarded by the imperial court are all outlined. The next day, on the river, cattle and sheep were slaughtered, and the royal wine and other things were distributed to the 3,000 Praetorian Guards for consumption. He also sent people to Jinfan Village with letters, so that Gan Ning came to greet him. Gan Ning got a letter, seeing that the court had the intention of recruiting peace, and was about to go out to greet him. Deputy General Su Fei hurriedly advised: "We live in a high place in the mountains and rivers, and we have nothing to do with the imperial court. He has his testimonies, and I have my rules. Why bother to submit to it. Su Fei is also Liu Biao's old general, but because he hated Liu Bei for plotting Liu Biao's foundation, he fell into the grass and Gan Ning as brothers. Gan Ning said: "Since it is polite, it should be understood." Let's see how the court wants to recruit peace. So he went out with all his brethren.
Wait for a while. Liu Zhong read out the court's recruitment, revealing disdain between the words. All the bandits are unhappy. Gan Ning reluctantly accepted the offer. Su Feifu asked: "Dare to ask the angel, the court recruits peace, can there be a reward?" Liu Zhong sneered: "The bandits who harm people, the court does not kill them, it is already a grace of heaven." Dare to reward extravagantly, see and laugh at the world. Gan Ning saw that Liu Zhong was so unreasonable, so he turned around and went back to the village. Liu Zhongyu said behind his back: "There is no etiquette, it is like a beast." It's really a thief who doesn't change. Gan Ning was furious when he heard this, and he recruited An to beat Liu Zhong. Liu Zhong flashed, and Zhao'an fell into the river. Liu Zhong said angrily: "The rat thief resists the decree and disrespects, destroys the holy decree, and insults the saint. I immediately returned to Beijing, blessed the saints, and raised an army to fight. When the Jinfan thieves heard this, they all rose up and captured Liu Zhong. Liu Zhong still scolded non-stop. Su Fei strode forward and cut off Liu Zhong's head with a single sword. The scolding stopped. Fu and the bandits flew in with swords and scattered the three thousand Praetorian Guards in a burst.
Some defeated soldiers fled back to Xiangyang to see Liu Bei. said: "Gan Ning refused to submit and beheaded the Zhao'an envoy." Liu Bei was stunned and said: "I don't want the Jinfan thief to be so arrogant, and he actually treats the court as nothing." I will send an army to destroy it. Kong Ming said: "The soldiers of the imperial court are three percent of those who are transferred by Wei and Wen, and two percent of those who defend Kyoto." The rest will be called by Zhang Yun, Huang Zu and others. His Majesty can ask for one of the two generals. Liu Bei said: "General Zhang Yun Su knows the water nature and can do this." Then he passed the decree and ordered Zhang Yun to lead the soldiers and horses of his headquarters to fight against the Xiangjiang Jinfan thieves. Zhang Yun accepted the order, only pushed the grain and grass, and deliberately neglected and refused to send troops. Liu Bei thought to himself: Huang Zu has guarded Jiangxia for several years, and his subordinates are all elite people. Then he ordered Huang Zu to raise the people of Jiangxia and go to Xiangjiang to beg for thieves. When he arrived in Jiangxia, Huang Zu said again: "The mobilization of the troops of Dongwu Caisangkou has the intention of attacking. The soldiers of Jiangxia should not be moved lightly. Liu Bei said to Zhuge Liang and said: "The two soldiers and horses cannot be used, how to plan it." Zhuge Liang said: "Zhang Yun and Huang Zu, carrying heavy soldiers, have long been disobedient. Your Majesty should take advantage of the early plan to collect his military power, so as not to cause trouble. Lei Xu has been recruiting troops in Changsha for some time, and the recruits he recruited need to be honed. It can make Lei Xu raise an army to ask for it. Liu Bei then sent a decree to Changsha. Lei Xu pursued it, raised 50,000 soldiers from Changsha, and crusaded against the Xiangjiang Jinfan thieves. Gan Ning, Su Fei and others heard that Lei Xu raised a large army to attack, and knew that it was difficult to fight, so they had already covered the gate of the village, planted flags everywhere, and took more than 1,000 brothers to Dongwu to invest in Sun Ce. Sun Ce was overjoyed to accept it, and Feng Ganning and Su Fei were both lieutenants of the unified army. Lei Xu camped on the other side, only to see that the gate of the village was closed, thinking that it was a plan, and did not dare to move. On the 5th, Fang learned that the Jinfan thieves had withdrawn, so they destroyed the water village and returned with a triumphant song. Liu Bei promoted him to the rank of general of Pingnan.
Since then, all the rivers have been peaceful. Liu Bei was overjoyed, rewarded the generals, and set up a banquet to entertain the ministers. During the banquet, Liu Bei specially gave the hussar general Zhang Fei, the chariot cavalry general Wei Yan, the left general Wen Ping, the Pingnan general Lei Xu, and the Jianwei general Huang Zhong as the five tiger generals. He also named Zhuge Liang, the left prime minister, Pang Tong, the right prime minister, Kuai Liang, the military general Xu Shu, and Guangluxun Ma Liang, who were good for the five sons.
In the following year, the Southern Jiaozhou Shi changed his name to Eastern Wu and made a letter to Sun Ce, but was intercepted by Zhao Fan, the Taishou of Guiyang. Zhao Fan didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly reported to the imperial court. Liu Bei consulted with his ministers. Zhuge Liang said: "Jiaozhou is far away and difficult to control. Xiang Yishi changed his heart to the Han, so he made it a long town on the frontier. Now he has a different heart, if he is caught between Eastern Wu, Jingzhou will be attacked by the enemy. According to the minister's opinion, His Majesty can first pass the priest into Beijing to see the driver, move to the Beijing official, and make him lead the state pastor remotely. "Liu Beiranzhi is planning to summon the soldiers. Make it to Guangxin. The mutiny was evasive. He did not see him for more than ten days, but returned to Xiangyang. When Liu Bei heard this, he said angrily: "The officials on the border also dare to deceive me." I should be the army of the whole country and set foot in the state of Pingjiao. Zhuge Liang said: "Your Majesty is a little wider, although Liang is not talented, he is willing to mention a brigade of divisions to clear the obstacles in the south." Liu Bei allowed it, and then ordered Lei Xu, Zhang Yun, Ban Chao and others to raise troops to meet. More than a month later, the recruitment of soldiers and horses from all walks of life was completed, and the left prime minister Zhuge Liang Xiangyang had 50,000 soldiers and horses, and the soldiers of each county were combined, with a total of 130,000. The general Huang Zhong of Jianwei was the vanguard, Li Yan, Feng Xi, Zhang Nan, Huo Ge and others were used by the army, and Guangluxun Ma Liang, Taichangqing Ma Tan, and Taishi Ling Yi were with the army.
There have long been detailed reports in Jiaozhou. Shi Chang anxiously consulted with his brothers, nephews, etc. His eldest son, Shi Hui, said: "Zhuge Liang has everything, the child is willing to lead 3,000 soldiers to capture Zhuge Liang to reduce his father's worries." Shi Yan said: "Zhuge Liang has the talent of ghosts and gods, and Huang Zhong, the general of the Five Tigers, is a pioneer, how can he be an idle person." There are no less than 100,000 soldiers and horses from all walks of life, how can I support 3,000 soldiers. His younger brother said: "Big brother, don't worry, Guangxin has 70,000 soldiers and horses, and it is enough to defend the city." When the meteor is sent quickly, go to the three counties of Yulin, Jiaozhi, and Jiuzhen, and order the troops and horses to come to the rescue. When Jing Bing saw that we and other soldiers and horses were gathered, they would not be able to hold on, and they would inevitably retreat. Shi Yuan, the third son of Shi Chang, said: "Father can also send a book to Wu State." Recently, it was reported that Sun Ce, the lord of Wu, defeated Shanyue and beheaded Zhao Xun. Now in the south to appease the Xiou, Luoyue, Minyue, Nanyue and other tribes have not returned. Father only needs a letter, and Sun Ce will inevitably come to help. When Shi Chang heard this, he was overjoyed, and ordered his second son, Shi Diao, to go to Yulin and other places to ask for help. He also repaired a letter and ordered Shi Kuang, the son of Shi Yi, to go to Wu State. The rest of the generals all followed the soldiers and soldiers to defend the four gates.
When the soldiers of Jingzhou arrived, the city of Guangxin was several feet high. Zhuge Liang and camped fifty miles away. The pioneer Huang Zhong led 10,000 soldiers and horses to take the lead. So it was told. Huang Zhong led his troops to the city to call for battle. Shi Chang watched between the battlements and saw that it was the veteran Huang Zhong, who said to Shi Hui: "Jing Han characters are really heroes." This general is called Huang Zhong, although he is more than half a hundred years old, he has the courage of ten thousand people. When Shi Hui heard that he was praising the enemy, he was unhappy and said, "Why did my father destroy his prestige." The day before yesterday, the child wanted to fight, but the father did not allow it. Otherwise, when Zhuge Liang was captured earlier, how could Huang Zhong be arrogant here. The scholar rebuked and said, "Falsehood! What ability do you have to compare with Huang Zhong. Shi Hui said: "If the child is allowed to fight, Huang Zhong will be killed." "Shi mutiny is just not allowed, drink the Shi Emblem. Huang Zhong scolded for a long time, but no one went out to fight, so he collected the army first. The next day, he came to call for war again. Shi Hui went to the city tower to watch first, and saw that it was Huang Zhong again. He went back to the palace and put on his horse with a spear and ran to the gate of the city. The sergeant asked urgently, "Where are you going?" Shi Hui said: "I will return in a moment, don't let the adults know." "After that, drink open the city gate, and come to fight Huang Zhong with a horse. Huang Zhong saw Shihui roaring, and also patted the horse to fight, only three together, and left in defeat. Shihui rushed to chase after him. The Jingzhou soldiers retreated and left. Shihui chased after him for a while before returning to the city. went to the mansion to see the mutiny, saying that Huang Zhong had been defeated. The soldier was shocked and hurried to the city gate to ask the guard. The guard general said: "The major general broke 10,000 Jingzhou soldiers on horseback." The priest was overjoyed and praised. The next day, the Jingzhou soldiers did not come. The mutiny ordered him to be probed. came to report: "Huang Zhong was unfavorable to the war, and he made a mistake and was beheaded by Zhuge Liang." Today, Lei Xu is a pioneer. "Another day, really thunder to challenge. The emblem of the soldier is ordered to fight. The mutant is allowed. Then 3,000 soldiers were sent out to meet him. Lei Xu and Shihui fought each other, but they were defeated and ran away. Shihui chased and killed thirty miles away. After careful work and a report, Zhuge Liang took Lei Xu into prison. The soldiers and the generals celebrated and feasted on each other. Shihui drank several times, and with the intention of drinking, he attended and said: "The five tiger generals of Jinghan have been defeated. If the father and his children are soldiers, they will retreat from the enemy army for a long time. Shi Chang said: "The child is proficient in martial arts, and he can do this." It's just that I don't know how many soldiers and horses I have to bring, and who will be the deputy? Shi Hui said: "Only 10,000 elite soldiers are needed, and the younger brother and Shi Song are the deputy generals." Shi Chang gladly agreed. The Xi dispersed, and the Shihui immediately ordered the soldiers to go.
But he said that Zhuge Liang was in the camp, and the generals said: "Shihui has won two battles in a row, and he will definitely take advantage of the victory to attack." The generals need to be cautious and proceed according to their own plans, and there must be no mistakes. The generals took the order and departed. Shihui and others walked for half the night, and when it was almost dawn, they had arrived at Dazhai in Jingzhou. Fang wanted to enter the village, only to hear shouts everywhere. Shi Hui looked around, but there was no one to be seen. Just when he was confused, he saw Li Yan leading an army to kill. Shi Hui ordered the second brother to be the enemy. Fang and the troops, Li Yan retreated and walked around the village. Shigan and Shisong chased and killed. Fang crossed the fence and saw Huo Ge leading the army to swarm in. Shi Gan and Shi Song were shocked, and behind them, they were all Jingzhou soldiers. Both brothers died in the rebellion, and their soldiers and horses were captured by Li Yan and Huo Ge. Shihui saw that his second brother was chasing the enemy, but he didn't know whether he would succeed or fail, and suddenly saw Li Yan and Huo Ge killing. Shi Hui fought two people alone with a gun, about ten times, and left in defeat. Li Yan and Huo Ge then arrived. Shihui escaped more than ten miles and met an army, and regarded it as an uncle and a soldier. Shi Hui asked urgently, "Why are the two uncles here?" Shi Yi said: "My nephew sent people to the city to ask for help, and your father specially ordered the two of us to come to help." Shi Hui said: "The Jingzhou soldiers have long been prepared and treat each other as ambushes. The whereabouts of the two younger brothers, Shigan and Shisong, are unknown, and I led the remnants of the army to flee here. But he didn't have time to call for help. Shi Yi said: "It's not good, Zhuge Liang's plan." There is danger in the city. Then he joined forces with Shihui and rushed to Guangxin City. When he came to the bottom of the city, he saw the gate of the city as if it were the gate, and he was relieved. Shi Hui shouted: "Open the door." There was no answer from the city, and the gates were still shut. Shi Hui drank again: "Open the city gate quickly!" And behold, all the soldiers of the city were gathered, all with strong bows. Huang Zhong and Lei Xu will stand at the head of the city. Shi Hui was shocked. Huang Zhong shouted: "On the order of my prime minister, I have been waiting here for a long time!" Shi Hui was furious and slapped his horse forward. Ten thousand arrows were shot down from the city. Jiaozhou soldiers were shot by arrows and many people died. Shi Hui and the others couldn't get close, so they hurriedly retreated. Huang Zhong and Lei Xu each led an army out of the city, and directly killed the Jiaozhou soldiers. Huang Zhong galloped, just as he met Shi Yi, he raised a knife in his hand and cut off the horse. Lei Xu also assassinated Shiwu and dismounted. Shihui couldn't make a sudden kill, and he was cornered, so he drank his sword and killed himself. Shi Diao transferred troops to Jiaozhi and other places, marched to the middle of the road, and intercepted most of the soldiers and horses for Feng Xi and Zhang Nan. Shi Liao rushed to Guangxin and fled. was ambushed by Zhang Yun and Ban Chao. Shi Diao was beheaded by Ban Chao.
The generals won a great victory, and Zhuge Liang set up a banquet in the tent to reward the generals. Suddenly, Guangxin City guarded the future report, and Sun Ce, the lord of Wu, suddenly sent troops. Guangxin City has been taken by it. Zhuge Liang was shocked and said: "Sun Ce fought Zhao Xun in Wenzhou, why did he come here." The guard general reported: "Sun Ce has the help of Lord Lu, and he has already pacified Shanyue." Now he is joining forces with Zhou Yu to recruit Baiyue. "All the generals are excited, and they all ask for orders, wanting to fight Sun Ce. Zhuge Liang just didn't allow it, and ordered him to quit Cangwu. The next day, the three armies pulled out the camp and returned to Xiangyang. Liuhogo guards Hepu. The generals were silent.
If there are good deeds, play the court first, and sue Zhuge Liang for retiring from the army for no reason. Liu Bei smiled and said: "Since I got Kong Ming, everything depends on his decision. Now that he returns to the army, there will be a deep reason, what are you waiting for? "There is no one who dares to play recklessly. Liang to Xiangyang, first put the soldiers and horses in the tun, and saw Liu Bei. He said: "Those who dare to fight in the south are all because there are wars in the five countries. Now that Huang Shanping has returned, Sun Ce swept the mountains again. Soon the Central Plains War will begin, and it will also be the time for His Majesty to restore the Han Dynasty. The foolish opinion of the minister, the great enemy of the Han, is Cao Cao. First unite Ma Chao and Sun Ce, and destroy **** Cao Cao first. Then Xu Tu Shikoku. Destroying Cao, going to Yuan, shoveling Huang, removing horses, and suppressing grandchildren, this is the great plan set by His Majesty to restore the Han Dynasty when the minister is not out of the house. Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this, so he ordered Jian Yong to be the envoy and go to Chengdu to see Ma Chao. A few months later, Sun Ce returned to China. Liu Bei also ordered Liu Mi to go to Jianye. He also ordered Kuai Yue to go to Hebei to see Yuan Tan. Ordered Ma Tan to go to Qingzhou to see Huang Shan.
