Chapter 160 Huang Zuxing's soldiers committed the mediocrity, and Xu Dingfang Ling resisted the strong enemy

Yizhou seems to be stable and stable, but I don't know that many people are eyeing this piece of feng shui treasure. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoLet's not mention that Li Ru went north to Liangzhou to lobby Han Sui, and Han Sui led troops to attack Qinzhou. It is said that when Liu Qian returned to Sichuan, he rescued the Jinfan thief Gan Ning in the hands of Huang Zu in Jingzhou, and forced Huang Zu Huang Xingye away.

That Huang Zu returned in vain, led the army to return to Xiangyang, entrusted the military and political affairs to his subordinates, and rushed to Jiangling in the starry night to report the matter to Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao.

Jiangling City, Jingzhou, in the inner courtyard of the monarch's mansion.

Liu Biao, Liu Jingsheng, Kuai Liang, Kuai Zirou, Kuai Yue, Kuai Yidu, Cai Mao, Cai Degui, Cai He, Cai Maoqi, Cai Zhong, Cai Wenqi, Chen Xiang, Chen Zhonglin, Fan Pan, Fan Mengbo, Kong Yu, Kong Shiyuan, Fan Kang, Fan Zhongzhen, Tan Shifu, Tan Wenyou, Zhang Jian, Zhang Yuanjie, Cen Wei, Cen Gongxiao and other civil and military officials of Jingzhou all gathered together and listened to what Huang Zu said.

"Lord, that day, I commanded an army of 5,000 outside Fancheng, besieging more than 800 people from the Jinfan thief Gan Ning, and I was about to capture him. Unexpectedly, more than 10,000 military horses suddenly appeared, breaking the encirclement of our army, and making all the Jinfan thieves escape. I stepped forward to reason with him, and the generals who commanded the army called Zang Ba Zang Xuangao and Zhang Liao Zhang Wenyuan, claiming to be under the command of the general of Zhengxi, claiming that the Jinfan thief had his own general of Zhengxi to capture, so I should not act rashly. This matter is very deceitful, and I hope that the Lord will judge it clearly. After that, Huang Zu knelt on the ground and didn't dare to raise his head.

"That Zhengxi Liu Shengju is my clan brother, how can he allow his subordinates to be so rude?" Liu Biao heard this and asked puzzledly.

"The lord doesn't know! What's more, they are still behind, and their subordinates are theorizing with Zang Ba and Zhang Liao, fighting their own way and coming to tens of thousands of troops. The person at the head was the general of the expedition, and the one who followed him was the brocade thief Gan Ning. The subordinates stepped forward to pay a visit, but they didn't pay attention to their subordinates, but just left a message: 'Go back and tell your lord, Ganning Ganxingba is my subordinate.' If you dare to besiege and attack them, don't you deceive me too much? If it weren't for the fact that Liu Jingsheng and I belong to the same royal family, we would have already leveled the counties of Jingzhou! This Huang Zu not only embezzled the gift that Liu Qian gave him, but also reversed black and white and exaggerated nonsense.

When Liu Biao heard this, he was so angry that his six views were blocked, and his seven orifices were smoking, so he stood up from his seat and shouted: "Liu Shengju, Liu Shengju, do you think that I, Liu Biao, am afraid of you?" How dare you deceive me like this! ”

"My lord, I heard that they have a horse farm set up in Fangling, so it is better to send troops to take their Shangyong County. As a warning! Cai Mao said.

Liu Biao has always asked Kuai Yue for advice when he was fighting, and when he heard Cai Mao's plan, he asked Kuai Yue: "Heterodu, do you think it is feasible to capture the mediocrity?" ”

"My lord, since the expedition to the west is so disregarding the brotherhood of the clan, we should start an army to fight for an explanation." Kuai Yue saw that Liu Biao asked about himself, so he said, "However, the people's livelihood in Shu is stable and the people are rich under the governance of the western expedition. If our army can capture the land of mediocrity, it will not lose a good land. Just ......"

Liu Biao and the others saw that he was halfway through him, and hurriedly asked, "Just how?" ”

"It's just that the generals under the command of the expedition to the west are like clouds, I don't know which general is willing to lead the army?" Kuai Yue saw that everyone asked, so he said.

When everyone saw this, they were silent. Everyone knows that it is rumored that the martial arts of several generals under Liu Qian are not comparable to Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng. Huang Zhong's martial arts are also well-known in Jingzhou, but Liu Biao doesn't like martial arts, so Huang Zhong declined for a while, so Liu Qian picked up the cheap.

At this time, Liu Biao remembered that Huang Zhong and his family followed Liu Qian, and he was a little annoyed. Seeing that everyone talked about sending generals to go on the expedition, one by one they became dumb, and he was even more angry, so he said by name: "Xingye, I order you to return to Xiangyang, raise all the troops of Xiangyang County to Shangyong County, and capture Shangyong Pass." Deju, you are the governor of the western expedition, and the 50,000 troops will set off on the same day to attack Shangyong with Xingye. Xeno, you will be the overseer, and set off with Deju. ”

Huang Zu, Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and others received the order and left separately.

Huang Zu rushed back to Xiangyang in the starry night. This time, Liu Biao listened to what he said, and he actually started to fight, which really made him often angry. The decadence when he was oppressed by Liu Qian was also swept away. It's just that he didn't expect that it was precisely because of his actions that he himself embarked on the road of no return. He didn't expect that this expedition would become the last mile on his life's road.

After returning to Xiangyang, he summoned his generals Fu Xun, Han Song, Huang Jie, Huang Ci, Su Fei, Su Yuan, Chen Zuo, Liu Xun and other eight people, and raised more than 15,000 soldiers in Xiangyang, and marched in the direction of Shangyong from the two roads of water and drought.

A letter has already been sent to Shangyong City. Xu Ding looked at the letter in his hand and said to the deputy general Jin Dun: "This time Huang Zu Xingbing must be because the lord is going to Jinfan Ganning Ganxingba, and his heart is not convinced, so he instigated Liu Biao to raise troops. I don't know how the Xingba Navy has been training in the past few days? But without further ado, the generals were ordered to be promoted to the court. ”

Not long after, all the generals of the Shangyong Army Division came to the lobby. Na Gan Ning took refuge in Liu Qian, worshiped the general of the water war, enjoyed the general of the five products, was subject to the Shangyong military division, and was under the jurisdiction of General Xu Ding of Ning Shuo. And set aside ten battalions of archers, five battalions of sword and shield soldiers, and five battalions of spearmen, so that they can train the naval army in Shangyong Port.

Xu Ding saw that the generals had arrived, and said: "Jingzhou general Huang Zu Huang Xingye commanded tens of thousands of troops and wanted to invade my territory. The general decided to send troops and horses across Fangling and fight the enemy at the junction of the two states. I wonder what you think? ’”

Gan Ning asked: "Dare to ask the governor, this battle, but also our naval army?" ”

"That Huang Zuxing has two elite soldiers, and there are naturally a lot of naval battles." Xu Dingyan said, then looked at the generals who had no objections, and said, "Since you have no objections. I would like to ask you to listen to the general's order: Zhang Jun and Dai Shuang, Ling Ru and the two of them are the vanguard officers of the front Zhengyin, and the two battalions of archers, five battalions of sword and shield soldiers, and five battalions of spearmen and spearmen will immediately set off to the east of Fangling, and they will arrive at the Sichuan Fortress, and set up camp, and they must reach before the enemy, and the enemy will be in danger!"

"The last will obey." Zhang Jun and Dai Shuang took the order and left.

"Gan Ning, order the Ru Naval Army to camp in the reeds east of Fangling, and wait for the enemy naval army to arrive, and now attack it with bows and arrows, and then attack it with speedboats. This is what you are good at, and I hope the public wins! ”

"A certain general will not fail in his mission." Gan Ning received the order to leave.

"Hold on, I will lead the army and personally recruit all the horses that will be sent back to Fangling Ranch, and you will make people guard them. Then send an urgent report to Chengdu and report to the lord. Huang Zu was nothing more than the vanguard of the Jingzhou army. In a few days, a large army will arrive. You will be left with five battalions of archers, five battalions of sword and shield soldiers, and five battalions of spearmen, and this general will lead fifteen battalions of sword and shield soldiers and fifteen battalions of spearmen to defend against the enemy. ”

All arrangements stopped, and Xu Ding took four escort generals Li Shun, Du An, Qi Shao, and Ning Di to lead the army to Fangling.

Huang Zu and others led the army to Fanglingdong, and saw that a camp had been erected in front of them, which happened to block the way. This is the only way to enter the mountain, if you want to enter the Shu land, you must walk from here.

He ordered Su Fei and Su Yuan to lead 5,000 people to fight against the enemy, and ordered the others to set up camp, rest for a while, and then discuss the next step.

Zhang Jun and Dai Shuang have already set up camp here, and what they are doing is to defend it, which is Professor Liu Qian's interception and defensive fortifications, and there are hidden bows and crossbow arrows inside, which can shoot through thirty or fifty zhang. There are two door openings below, which can accommodate three or five people to pass through at the same time, and the door opening sets up a door panel, and when it is closed, it becomes a pit below, and when it is opened, it makes people pass. This fortification is divided into three layers, the upper floor is the place where the archers defend, with a female wall, arrow stacks, and rolling wood stones; The middle layer is the place where the dark bow and crossbow arrows are used, so that the sword and shield soldiers are inside, and when the enemy is close, they can shoot at a distance; The lower level is where the doorway is.

Where did Su Fei and Su Yuan know that this thing was powerful, they led the army and horses to come to the enemy, and stopped the team within the range of the crossbow arrows.

Zhang Jun and Dai Shuang watched above the fortifications, and couldn't help sneering, saying in their hearts that this guy is really not long-sighted, all the five thousand elite soldiers have entered the range, as long as the crossbow is fired, all of them will be scrapped here. The two looked at each other and were about to give the order to release the arrows, but they heard a soldier come to report: "Report to the two generals, and the commander of the army has arrived." ”

The two didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly came to the camp to see Xu Ding. Seeing Xu Ding, Zhang Jun recounted the situation before the pass. Hearing this, Xu Ding lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said: "Don't use the dark bow and crossbow arrows for the time being, and use this murder weapon against only 5,000 people, the gain outweighs the loss!" Go, follow me out against the enemy. ”

After speaking, Xu Ding led everyone out of the tent, got on the horse and carried a gun, came to the front of the two armies, and shouted: "You and other unscrupulous juniors dare to cross the border without permission and use swords and soldiers in vain. If you are interested, return quickly; Otherwise, it won't come and go! ”

When Su Fei heard this, he also shouted: "Your lord bullied me too much!" If Gan Ning is escorted to the front of the two armies and handed over to us, our general will naturally retreat. ”

"Bold rebels." Du Ann shouted a scold, beat his horse out of battle, came to the front of the two armies, raised the long knife in his hand lightly, and pointed at Su Fei, "You are a thief, dare to fight with me Duan." ”

"Who is afraid of you!" When Su Fei saw that someone was out of battle, he was here to fight, so there was no reason not to fight.

The two horses fought in a row, and they fought together. The knife flew and the gun fell, and dozens of rounds passed in a blink of an eye, and the two were still fighting up and down, and it was difficult to solve.

At this moment, Su Yuan Mingjin recalled Su Fei. The two whispered for a moment, and then led the troops back in a hurry.

What the hell is going on? made the two of them return to the camp in such a hurry.

It turned out that Huang Zu sent his sons Huang Zhu, Huang Ci and the army Sima Fu Xun to lead 5,000 sailors from the Han River upstream and attack the Yong waterway. Unexpectedly, Gan Ning's subordinates had already prepared an encirclement and were waiting for them to arrive halfway.

Just past the place of Fangling, there is a bend where the reeds are thick. As soon as Fu Xun's heart rose vigilantly, he saw countless arrows shooting from the reeds on both sides, roaring down. Hundreds of soldiers on deck were shot. Immediately afterwards, hundreds of speedboats were inserted into the battleship, and thousands of sword, shield, spear and spear soldiers poured onto the battleship.

The person at the head is not someone else, it is the Jinfan thief Gan Ning Gan Xingba.

The brothers Huang Shot and Huang Ci both stepped forward to fight Gan Ning together. Gan Ning danced the double halberd and stepped forward to fight, but he did not fall behind. The Shu army of tens of thousands of people besieged a mere 5,000 people, and there was a previous attack, and the Jingzhou army and horses saw that they were difficult to fight, and they jumped into the river to flee for their lives. The Yellow Shot brothers also kept moving closer to the edge of the battleship, but they were surrounded by several battalion commanders and killed alive.

Fu Xun happened to escape with his life, rushed back to Huang Zu's camp, and reported to Huang Zu. Therefore, Huang Zu recalled Su Fei and the others.
