Chapter 8 [Arrival in Jiangxia]
But it was said that at that time, Zhou Han and Zhao Yun were looking for Mrs. Mi, Mi Fang got out of the army, came to Liu Bei, and said: "Lord, then Zhao Yun and Zhou Han went north and surrendered to Cao Ying." ”
Liu Bei said unbelievingly: "Zifang must not talk nonsense, Zilong and I are old friends, Ziqi and I are like old friends at first sight, and they will not leave me." ”
Zhang Fei had not yet arrived at Changsaka Bridge at that time, and said: "People's hearts are unpredictable, they see that we are poor, and it is still unknown to vote for Cao Ying to enjoy wealth and wealth." ”
Liu Bei said: "Zilong Ziqi is not the kind of person who is greedy for wealth and forgets righteousness. ”
Fei Dao: "Yes or no, wait for me to wait for them to come, if you really throw Cao, you will be stabbed to death with a spear!" ”
After Zhang Fei finished speaking, he got on the horse, took thirty riders, and went straight to Changsaka Bridge, Liu Bei couldn't persuade him, so he had to go with him, and Zhang Fei came back to explain because Mi Zhu and Mrs. Gan came back, so he no longer suspected that the two of them had surrendered to Cao.
Because Zhou Han had already let Liu Qi lay down the boat here, most of the people went to Jiangxia by ferry, Liu Bei did not leave, just hoped that the people could ferry first, first, the people who were waiting for the late arrival, but also worried about their families, and secondly, they couldn't give up Zhao Yun and other subordinates, don't you hear the foundation of the great cause, the first is talent, if the civil and military forces can't survive this catastrophe with themselves, what can Liu Bei do, a light pole commander, at this time, all the civil and military forces have almost arrived, just Zhou Han Zhao Yun, and his family, just take a nap, Liu Bei recovered some of his spirits, saw that everyone was disgraced, and fled so embarrassed with himself, thinking that he had spent most of his life, and had not yet had an inch of land to live in, and sorrow came from it, and sighed: "Lonely and poor Liu Bei, so that you are so embarrassed with me, you are extremely ashamed, Qing and others are all talented, why bother to flee with the preparations, you can choose to serve the master, and there is no reason for resentment." ”
After saying that, Liu Bei burst into tears, and everyone wept, knelt down to show his heart and said: "We will follow the lord, although we have no regrets in death, we are only willing to help the lord Kuang to help the Han family, if there are two gods and men to kill together..."
Liu Bei restrained his crying posture, and while helping everyone up one by one, he said: "To be able to get your help, the Han family is very fortunate, and the people are very fortunate." ”
At this time, a soldier hurriedly came to report and said, "Lord, Zhao and the two generals are back." ”
After the soldier went down, when he didn't move, the two horses galloped, it was Zhao Yun and Zhou Han, the two of them were covered with blood, covered in blood, as if they were pulled out of the pool of blood, Zhao Yun rolled the saddle and fell off the horse, knelt in front of Liu Bei, handed the baby with both hands, and said: "Lord, Yun Xing is not dishonored, and Ziqi is in the Cao army, and Mrs. Baode and the little master return safely." ”
Liu Bei took the baby and threw the baby down suddenly, Zhao Yun was in a hurry and caught the queen, but Liu Bei didn't care whether the baby was alive or dead, helped Zhao Yun up, tears poured down like rain, and said: "For a son, I have lost my two generals, what is the use." ”
At this time, Mrs. Gan whimpered and shouted: "My son, woo woo..." while crying, she ran over and hugged the baby Adou in Zhao Yun's hand, but fortunately Zhao Yun caught it in time and did not fall and was injured.
Zhao Yun was moved by Liu Bei's actions at this moment, thinking that in the million-strong army, he was the enemy of Zhou Han's Cao Ying generals, isolated and helpless, and after coming back, his own lord cherished himself so much, his eyes were red and he knelt down and said: "The lord cherishes the humble general so much, although Yun is full of liver and brain, it is difficult to repay in case." ”
Liu Bei hurriedly helped Zhao Yun up, and at this time he only heard a heavy object fall to the ground, and everyone left Liu Bei and the two of them.
It was Zhou Han and his mount that made this sound, Zhou Han had lost too much blood and was extremely weak, just lifted his foot to the other side to get off the horse, but the horse rushed to kill for a day, and only died of exhaustion at this time, the horse fell in a moment, Zhou Han jumped out on the horse's back with one foot, to avoid the risk of being crushed under the horse, but also Zhou Han could no longer stand, face down and fell to the ground, fortunately the fall happened to be grass, otherwise it is estimated that his jaw would have to fall and dislocate, this fall also directly made the already weak Zhou Han unconscious...
Liu Bei hurriedly went over to inspect and saw that Zhou Han had arrow wounds and knife wounds, and the white shirt had already been soaked red with blood, and tears fell again: "If Ziqi has a mistake, it is better to be prepared." ”
After saying that, Liu Bei's tears soared, beating his chest, his expression was painful and there was no adulteration at all, everyone went to persuade him, first solve the current crisis, Liu Bei then woke up, and said urgently: "Quick, carry Ziqi to Hanjin Ferry on a stretcher, and all the generals will also go over there to get on the boat, waiting for the third brother to come back" Everyone promised...
The flowers bloomed two and each showed a branch, and said that after Zhao Yun and the two passed, Zhang Fei rode alone on the Changsaka Bridge, secretly thinking: "Cao soldiers are powerful, and they must be outwitted..."
Zhang Fei this person is thick and fine, he is not unwise, but lazy to use wisdom, at the moment the situation makes him anxious and wise, come up with a plan for doubtful soldiers, so he ordered thirty riders behind him, tied to branches in the tail of the horse, divided into two parts, running back and forth in the forest, stirring up dust to be suspicious, at this time, the Jingzhou general Wen Ping led the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to kill, saw Zhang Fei standing alone on the bridge, the forest behind him was dusty, and he suspected that there were ambush soldiers, and he did not dare to enter lightly, only waiting for Cao Ying's army to arrive and then make a calculation.
Not long after, Xu Chu, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Xuan, Cao Ren, Le Jin, Zhang He, Xu Huang and other generals led troops to arrive, seeing the smoke and dust in the forest, they all suspected that there were ambushes, and they did not dare to enter hastily, so they asked people to invite Cao Ying.
At that time, because of Zhao Yun and the two, and jealous of Liu Bei for having such a fierce general to help, after listening to the soldiers' report on the situation of the former army, hurriedly passed, Cao Jun's front army was divided, under the umbrella cover of Qingluo, Cao Ying came to the front of the generals, looked at the general on the Changsaka Bridge, and looked at the dust fluttering in the forest, and said: "Zhuge Liang is scheming, there must be ambushes in the forest." ”
At this time, the million army behind Cao Ying had already surrounded the open space in front of the Changsaka Bridge, surrounded by airtight, black pressure, looking at the past This army is like connecting the heavens and the earth, and there is no end in sight, ordinary people see so many enemies, I am afraid that they will be scared and weak, but is Zhang Fei an ordinary person?
I saw Zhang Feihu's beard upside down, like a steel needle, his eyes were wide open, and the horizontal spear was angry, and he shouted: "Yanren Zhang Yide is here, who dares to come out and fight to the death!" ”
An overwhelming murderous aura spread out from Zhang Fei's body and went straight to Cao Jun, this murderous aura came from his confidence in his own strength and his achievements in white bones.
"Hiss..."Cao Ying's generals got off their mounts, and they were so shocked by this murderous aura that they screamed, and even some of the mounts took a few steps back, and the generals were busy controlling their mounts, and those soldiers were also shocked by Zhang Fei's momentum, and Cao Ying was also shocked by this thunderous explosion, and said: "In the past, the battle of the White Horse, I once heard Yun Changyan, his brother Zhang Yide took the head of the general in the million army, such as exploring the bag and taking things, and now I see that it is really brave. ”
Zhang Fei's eyes were red, flashing with blood-devouring light, he looked at the generals of Cao Ying, and shouted: "Zhang Fei is here, who will come out first to fight for life and death!" ”
Zhang Fei had a fierce aura, like the evil ghosts and fierce spirits in the Nine Hells attacked Cao Bing, all the soldiers took a step back, looked at each other, some were cowardly, and their legs and stomachs trembled slightly, Cao Fei was also shocked by Zhang Fei's momentum, and turned over his robe, with three words written on it - Zhang Yide. But it was Cao Ying who heard Guan Yu say that Zhang Fei was brave, and wrote this name on the bottom of his robe to remind himself that when he met this person on the battlefield, he should not be underestimated...
Zhang Feihu's eyes widened, like an angry glare, and he let out a loud shout: "Fight and don't fight, retreat and don't retreat, but why!" ”
This third explosion, Zhang Fei's momentum is like destroying the heavens and the earth, its murderous aura is amazing, intimidating the enemy's fear, and the cheers fell, only to see Cao Ying's clan general Xiahou Jie, fall down from the horse, spit bile, and did not move, and was actually shocked by Zhang Fei's momentum.
Seeing this, Cao Ying exclaimed: "If you lose a general before you fight, it will be a big disadvantage." ”
After saying that, pulling out the horse and running back, the generals were busy keeping up with Cao Ying, and the rest of the soldiers were all holding their heads and running away, rushing to escape, trampling on each other and the dead, countless, seeing that he shouted a few loudly to scare off Cao Jun, Zhang Fei laughed wildly, this deed made Zhang Fei famous through the ages, three shouts, and frightened back millions of Cao soldiers.
Cao Bing retreated, Zhang Feifang wanted to order someone to break down the Changsaka Bridge, but thinking of Zhou Han's repeated advice, Zhang Fei thought that he was quite wise, and finally chose to believe in Zhou Han, with thirty horsemen, looking for Liu Bei, on the way met Guan Yu who brought 10,000 reinforcements over, this Guan Yu went to Jiangxia to find Liu Qi to come to the reinforcements, thinking that Liu Bei was still in Changsaka Bridge, so he led troops to rescue, just met Zhang Fei, Liu Bei had already sent a horse behind the Changban Bridge, waiting for Zhang Fei to report to him, so the two brothers knew where Liu Bei was going, and led the troops to the Hanjin Ferry...
On the other side, Cao Ying was persuaded by the generals to return to the army to kill, but seeing that Zhang Fei was not there, the Changsaka Bridge was intact, Cao Ying was already suspicious, seeing that Zhang Fei left without destroying the bridge, he was worried about Zhuge Liang's plan, and hesitated for a long time, so he didn't dare to enter lightly...
But sent a few soldiers to cross the bridge separately to investigate, and reported that Liu Bei and his subordinates had all crossed the boat and left, so how did Cao Ying know that it was Zhou Han's idea not to demolish the bridge, so angry that Cao Ying's three corpses jumped violently and scolded:
"The big-eared thief, Zhuge villager, an outer gentleman and an inner villain, a stupid villager in the mountains and wilderness, sooner or later I will be imprisoned by Cao Mengde!"
In the cabin, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang sat on their knees, and Guan Zhang and the two stood behind them, Guan Yu went to Jiangxia to ask for reinforcements, and learned from Liu Qi that Zhou Han asked him to prepare more ships near the Hanjin ferry, and the matter had already been reported to Liu Bei and others.
Liu Bei was relieved that there were so many ships there, and said: "Some time ago, it was fortunate that Ziqi had already let Liu Qi's son and Anbu's boat at the ferry, otherwise it would be difficult for the people to escape this catastrophe." ”
Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and said: "Ziqi is really a good general, wise and brave, Yide said that Ziqi asked him not to tear down the bridge." ”
Zhang Fei behind Liu Bei said: "I couldn't understand its meaning at the time, but I only understood it after the military advisor's explanation, so that Cao Ying was suspicious and did not dare to advance, so that we had more time to retreat." ”
At this time, the second general of Guan Zhang, because of Zhuge Liang's repeated tactics and defeat Cao Jun, has long affirmed his status in the army, and his attitude towards Zhuge Liang has also changed greatly, respectful, civil and military harmony, Liu Bei is happy, Zhuge Liang praised: "I often hear that Yide is brave, but after watching the Changban Bridge, I know that Yide is thick and fine, and I am in a hurry to make wisdom, this lord is lucky, and my army is lucky." ”
Zhang Fei was praised and laughed, Guan Yu brushed his beard and said: "The third brother should not be proud of the praise of the military advisor, he should encourage himself." ”
Zhang Feihan smiled and said, "I can reflect on myself." ”
While talking, a sergeant suddenly came to report, and a Biao Navy was found in front, and he came straight forward, Liu Bei lost his color and said: "Could it be Jiangdong soldiers and horses!" Zhang Fei said: "I'm afraid that he will do something, and I am willing to kill the enemy for the striker!" ”
Zhuge Liang said: "It's not too late to make a conclusion after looking at its reality and reality." A few men then left the cabin and stood on the side of the ship to watch.
I saw dozens of warships on the right side rushing straight to come, this kind of warship is very huge, more than twice the ship where Liu Bei is, such as a behemoth monster pressed straight in, making people have a sense of breathless depression, when the first one stood on the first warship, wearing a white coat, wearing a sword at his waist, seeing Liu Bei coming out of the cabin, he hurriedly bowed and bowed: "Uncle, the little nephew led the army to come to respond." ”
The person who came was Liu Qi, Liu Bei was overjoyed, and the civil and military abandoned the ship and got on the ship where Liu Qi was, Zhou Han was unconscious, and he was also carried up, and settled in the cabin room to recuperate, watching Zhou Han being carried over and settled, Liu Bei was full of worry, Zhuge Liang said: "Don't worry, my lord, didn't the military doctor say that General Zhou just lost too much blood and was not in danger of life?" ”
Liu Bei said: "Although there is no danger, it is inevitable to worry, in order to save the family and Ziqi was seriously injured, and there is no need to worry." After saying that, Liu Bei ordered a soldier to serve Zhou Han, if Zhou Han woke up, he would immediately come over and report, and after the soldier agreed, Liu Bei and everyone went to another compartment in another cabin to discuss military affairs.
After arriving, everyone sat separately from the guest and host, and Liu Qi should have sat in the main seat, but Liu Qi said: "Uncle is the elder of Qi, if Qi arrogates the main position, won't he be said to have no respect for the elder." ”
At this time, there were fifty or sixty thousand soldiers and horses in Jiangxia, which made Liu Bei's heart feel a little calm, but the situation was still worth worrying, and said: "Now Cai Mao led more than 300,000 Jingzhou soldiers to surrender Cao Ying, and he won the land of Jingxiang, and he defeated Yuan Shao before, and Deshao surrendered 6 or 700,000 troops, plus his own soldiers and horses, there are about **100,000 troops, and the situation is as big as this, how to stop it?" ”
Liu Bei said so, but when his eyes looked around at everyone, he looked at Zhuge Liang a few more times, and his meaning was self-evident, Zhuge Liang was the highest in wisdom, and Liu Bei certainly had the greatest expectations for him, only to see Zhuge Liang not become a feather fan in four seasons, and he did not hurry and said: "My lord, with a bright plan, you can send an envoy to Jiangdong, persuade Sun Quan, and make the north and south armies duel, if the southern army wins, we can take advantage of the situation to seize Jingzhou, if the northern army wins, we will attack Jiangdong, think that it is fundamental, retreat can be the Yangtze River moat to resist Cao Ying, enter Hefei Huainan and other places, Xu Tu world." ”
Liu Bei said happily: "The military advisor has a great plan, but there are a lot of capable people in Jiangdong, and it may not be easy to plot." ”
Zhuge Liang said: "I expected that Sun Quan would send an envoy to find out the truth of Cao Bing from the mouth of our army." We will see the opportunity to act then," Liu Bei said: "The military advisor is high-minded"
Zhuge Liang said again: "The lord can make an army, Tunjun Xiakou, and Jiangxia as a corner." Liu Bei Yunzhi asked Guan Yu to lead an army to garrison Xiakou, and asked Liu Qi about the settlement of the people, Qi said: "Uncle rest assured, the people have all lived in Jiangxia City safely, and I have hired laborers to build houses for the people and allocate fields, so that the people can live and eat without worry." Only then did Liu Bei put his mind at ease.
At this time, the soldier who served Zhou Han came to report that Zhou Han had woken up, and Liu Bei said happily: "Ziqi is awake, everyone come with me to visit." Then he went first, and the people followed.
Because Zhou Han and Zhao Yun rode the savior, Liu Beijun knew about this matter, and everyone came to their place, Mrs. Mi, Guan Ping, Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, Mi Zhu and others all entered the compartment at the same time, this compartment was not big, and so many people were squeezed in at once, so that Zhou Han, who had just woken up, saw it, and shouted in his heart: Horror, the room is going to burst.
Zhou Han also knew where he was now through the mouth of the attendant, but because of the knife that was cut in the back by Ma Yan, the bones were deep visible, and he lost too much blood, and his face and lips were pale at this time, and his body was extremely weak, so he couldn't get up at all, so he could only lie down, Mi Zhu said gratefully: "General Zhou, if it weren't for the general, the sister would have become a dead soul long ago, this great kindness, Zhu remembered it." ”
Mrs. Mi looked at Zhou Han's weak face and cried: "If it weren't for the concubine, the general would have been able to dodge that knife, it was me who involved the general..."
Zhou Han's words were extremely weak: "Is it possible... Let Han take a sip of water first..."
Mrs. Mi was busy with her face, poured a bowl of water on the table in the middle of the hut, fed Zhou Han a sip, and the cold water went down the intestines and into the stomach, making Zhou Han feel refreshed, a little drowsy, and much more sober, then said: "The master mother does not need to blame herself, this is the responsibility of her subordinates." Mrs. Mi was moved and said, "The general is resting." Saying that, he got up and put the bowl back, and everyone also stepped forward in turn to shush the cold and ask for warmth, that Zhou Han Changsaka was a powerful battle, and saved Liu Bei's family, it can be said that he has become Liu Bei's confidant, so they all want to have a good relationship with him...
At this time, Zhou Han's body was weak, so many people lined up to condole, how could they afford to eat, and said a word to take a breath, just at this time, there were many footsteps outside the house, and a soldier entered the house first to report: "Ladies and gentlemen, the lord and the military advisor are here." ”
Mi Zhu and the others gave up their positions and went out one after another, and after Liu Bei came in, he looked caring and said to the bed: "How does Ziqi feel?" ”
Zhou Han said: "The cold is injured, I can't get up and salute fully, the lord forgives..."
"Where did Ziqi say, if it weren't for Ziqi, Mrs. Mi would have died in the rebellion, and there is no need to be restrained in etiquette." Liu Bei stopped Zhou Han's words.
Zhou Han said: "The way of etiquette, the monarch and the minister are the most important, but the lord is so generous, Han deeply feels the grace of the lord and the princess, and only death repays him!" ”
Zhang Fei said: "Ziqi, when the injury is healed, I want to see the new weapon you make." ”
Zhou Han said with a smile: "When the time comes, Yide will have to give two instructions. ”
Before Zhang Fei could answer, Liu Bei said: "Okay, Ziqi is weak, don't bother too much, let's go out first." After speaking, Liu Bei said to Zhou Han again: "Ziqi recuperates in peace." ”
When Liu Bei and the others went out, Zhuge Liang was the last to leave, and the feather fan patted Zhou Han twice, and said with a smile: "Ziqi is an unpredictable prophet, Liang admires... Wait for some time to discuss with Ziqi. After saying that, he left directly, Zhou Han smiled dumbly: "This pig brother is really a wise and close to demon character, and he has found out from bit by bit that the boats near the Hanjin Ferry are laid by me by Liu Qi..."
After a few more days, Zhou Han's injuries improved by half, and he was finally able to stay and move around on his own. There are no entertainment facilities in this era, lying on the couch all day long, if it weren't for Zhao Yun and others coming to accompany him to say a few words, he would have been bored, but although he can walk around, his body has not healed, and he can't make much effort, and his right hand is slightly raised, he feels pain, it seems that he doesn't care for a few months of injury, he doesn't want to heal...
The fleet traveled for another day, and finally arrived in Jiangxia in the evening, Guan Yu was ordered to lead 5,000 soldiers to Xiakou Tunzha, and Liu Bei led his subordinates into Jiangxia City, Jiangxia people heard more about the emperor's uncle's benevolence and righteousness, so the people's hearts were attached, Liu Bei recruited soldiers in Jiangxia since then, and it was not a problem to sharpen the soldiers and horses...
