Chapter 328 The Fall of the Hero
Nanjun, the sky is a little hazy. At this time www.biquge.info Sun Quan Award Lü Meng was leading nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses to garrison the capital city of Xiangyang. Liu Bei and Tao Shang led less than 20,000 soldiers and horses to Xiangyang when they encountered Huang Gai's ambush, and due to the low morale of the soldiers, Liu Bei's army was killed and dispersed by Huang Gai.
Killed Liu Bei, when Liu Bei wanted to go to Liu Zhang, he encountered Sun Jing's ambush on the way, and when Liu Bei came out of the encirclement, there were less than a hundred soldiers around him. Especially when Liu Bei ran to Jingnan to prepare to take refuge in King Wuling, he met Zhang Fei's subordinates, and the soldier said that Zhang Fei had been beheaded by Lu Meng on the Yangtze River.
When Liu Bei woke up, at this time, Lü Meng's pursuers were less than ten miles away, and when he was cornered, Sun Qian suggested that it was better to go south to Jingzhou, so Jingzhou was also the territory of the king of Pengcheng. So a few people crossed the Yangtze River and went to Linxiang City, Changsha County. Speaking of Changsha County, when Zhang Fei was defeated, Wei Yan set up an ambush in Luo County at the suggestion of Kuai Yue and others, and defeated Pan Zhang's army of 40,000 in one game.
Wei Yan chased Pan Zhang until he reached the banks of the Yangtze River, Pan Zhang grabbed the boat and left, and Wei Yan fought until he met Lü Meng's reinforcements on the Yangtze River and then returned to the south bank of the Yangtze River. When Wei Yan incorporated Pan Zhang's subordinates, he already had nearly 100,000 troops in Changsha County, and there were seven generals under him: Wen Ping, Liu Pan, Lu Gong, Zhang Hu, Wang Wei, Fan Jiang, and Zhang Da, and he also wanted high-class strategists like Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang, and Wei Yan's strength began to grow for a while.
After having soldiers and horses, Wei Yan urged grain to Jiujiang County, and after Jiujiang County sent grain and grass, he conveyed the will of King Pengcheng, and King Pengcheng ordered Wei Yan to lead his army south to Linxiang and then govern Jingnan County. After Wei Yan got the order, he led 70,000 troops, made Liu Pan the vanguard, and Kuai Yue as the military advisor to Linxiang to report on his work. The defense of Luo County was handed over to the general Wen Ping and the strategist Kuai Liang. When Wei Yan arrived in Linxiang, he promulgated the edict of Tao Ying, the king of Pengcheng, to Huang Zhong, who could only hand over the command when he saw the order, so Wei Yan merged nearly 70,000 soldiers and horses in Linxiang, and Wei Yan had more than 170,000 troops in Changsha County in just half a year.
As soon as Wei Yan took charge of Jingnan, Liu Bei led nearly 30 of his subordinates to defect. At the same time as Liu Bei, there was also a person who came from Jingbei to defect, this person's surname was Shan Mingfu, after reporting the name, Wei Yan hurriedly asked people to get the Pengcheng King's handwriting, which recorded the talents of Jingzhou, Pengcheng King said, all these people need to be used, and they should be invited regardless of etiquette, which happens to have the name of Shan Fu.
However, the unfortunate thing was that the pottery merchant led Liu Bei and Shan Fu to arrive together, and came to Linxiang City at the same time. Wei Yan asked the military advisor Kuai Yue what to do, and Kuai Yue said that the pottery merchant was the elder brother of King Pengcheng, and he was the captain of Si Li, and his official position was the same as Wei Yan's, so he should greet the pottery merchant first. Wei Yan hurriedly asked people to prepare to meet the pottery merchant, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that King Pengcheng seemed to be very unkind to this brother, and since King Pengcheng said that this person was a talent, he had to follow King Pengcheng's will first, so he suggested that Wei Yan might as well welcome Shan Fu first!
So Wei Yan ordered Kuai Yue to go to greet Si Li's captain Tao Shang, and personally went to greet Shan Fu!
Outside the city gate, Shan Fu came alone, Wei Yan dismounted early to greet him, when he heard that Wei Yan, the prefect of Jingzhou, abandoned the pottery merchant to meet him, Shan Fu was moved. Wei Yan saw Shan Fuji and said, "Why did Mr. Xu come so late?" I'm looking forward to Mr. Jiuya! ”
Hearing Wei Yan actually call himself Mr. Xu, Shan Fu's face wrinkled, he never told anyone his name! Shan Fu hurriedly asked Wei Yan how he knew his name, and Wei Yan showed him the handwriting of King Pengcheng, which was written by Jingzhou celebrities, and wrote behind Shan Fu that his original name was Xu Shu, and the character was straight! Seeing Tao Ying's handwriting, Xu Shu was even more surprised! Seeing that next to his name was Mr. Feng Xiao Pang Tong, Xu Shu said that this person was familiar to him, and he could attract people to want to vote!
So Xu Shu said goodbye to Wei Yan on the spot and wanted to go back to Jingbei, Wei Yan couldn't stay, so he had to give Xu Shu gold and silver and told him that he didn't have to come to himself at that time, he could go directly to Pengcheng to join the king of Pengcheng, and the king of Pengcheng looked forward to them for a long time!
After sending Xu Shu away, Wei Yan turned to greet the potter, and welcomed the potter, Liu Bei and others into Linxiang City. After Liu Bei came to Linxiang and was stationed in Hunan for a few days, he suggested to Wei Yan several times to go north to attack Nanjun, but Wei Yan refused on the grounds that Jingnan was initially not suitable for the Northern Expedition. Kuai Yue felt that Liu Bei would leave Jingnan sooner or later, and if he defected to Yuan Shang or Cao Cao in the north, it would definitely be a big trouble, because his subordinate Guan Yu was indeed a general of Yuan, so Kuai Yue suggested that it would be better to let Liu Bei lead his troops to attack Liu Cong in Wuling.
In the autumn, Kuai Yue collected the grain and grass of Yiling, and then prepared for the western expedition to Wuling Liu Cong. Wei Yan asked what if Lü Meng from the north came to attack? Kuai Yue suggested that it was better to go north to unite with Liu Xiu of Nanyang, and if Lü Meng went south, he would send someone to inform Liu Xiu, and then attack from the north and south, Lü Meng naturally did not dare to go south.
So Wei Yan wrote a letter to Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu received the letter and mobilized military horses on the border south of Nanyang, there was a large-scale army movement on the border, the spies hurriedly told Lu Meng, Lu Meng thought that Nanyang Liu Xiu was going to be unfavorable to Nanjun and hurriedly mobilized military horses to prepare to block Liu Xiu, seeing that Lu Meng began to mobilize troops and horses to the north, Wei Yan ordered Liu Pan and Lu Gong to guard Luo County and Xiaji County, and ordered Kuai Liang and Wang Wei to guard Linxiang City, so that Liu Bei was the vanguard, Wei Yan personally led the generals Wen Ping, Huang Zhong, Fan Jiang, Zhang Da and others to lead 50,000 troops to the west of Wuling!
