Chapter 108: Zhang Fei's revenge
Wupu Pavilion is located in the north of Raoyang County, Anping State, after Wupu Pavilion to the east, it will enter the boundary between the rivers, and to the west, it will enter Zhongshan country.
Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu heard that Wang Wolf and others occupied Handan as the emperor in Jixian County, so he and his generals Deng Yu, Feng Yi and others galloped south day and night, and when they arrived at Raoyang Wupu Pavilion, they were encountering the cold wind and disease, and everyone was so cold that their faces were colorless, and the food they brought had been eaten. Feng Yiqiang endured hunger and came to a farmer's house, and asked for a bowl of bean porridge to bring to Liu Xiu to eat. The next day, Liu Xiu said to his brothers: "I ate Feng Yi's bean porridge last night, and my hunger and cold were relieved", so he led everyone to move on.
Later, Liu Xiu won the world, ascended the throne and became the emperor, when Feng Yi went to Beijing to face the saint, the emperor recalled the old things, sighed Feng Yi's loyalty and bravery, and issued an edict to reward Feng Yi, and the edict said: "The bean porridge in the hastily Wuputing Pavilion and the wheat rice in the Tuohe River have not been reported for a long time." ”
Now Liu Xiu's descendant Liu Yu occupies Jicheng, where his ancestors raised his army, but he does not have the heroic spirit of Liu Xiu who swallowed thousands of miles like a tiger back then, but he was trapped in several counties in Youzhou, which made many heroes and heroes in the world disdain.
On this day, a group of more than 1,000 soldiers and horses came to Wupu Pavilion, among which the leader of the soldiers was named Zhang Fei, the word Yide, after the gentry of Zhuo County, Youzhou.
After Zhang Fei came to Anping with his righteous brother Liu Bei, he was appointed as the captain of the thief, in charge of public security and anti-theft matters in the county, which happened to his appetite. Zhang Fei's personality is fierce and violent, although he has been educated by the family since he was a child, he does not like to meditate and sit and talk, but likes swords, swords, halberds, and galloping horses, which is also the reason why he can get along with Guan Yu, who was born in a commoner.
After Zhang Fei ordered the troops to set up camp at Wupu Pavilion, he took his subordinates Zhang Da and Fan Qiang to the south bank of the water to observe the terrain.
Zhang Da pointed to the east side of the other side of the river and said, "Zhang Duwei, after crossing this river and going east, it is Wuyuan County, which belongs to the jurisdiction of Hejian State. ”
Fan Qiang continued: "After crossing the river, less than ten miles to the west, is Boling County, which is under the jurisdiction of Zhongshan State. Now Hejian is controlled by General Fenwu, and Zhongshan is still under the jurisdiction of Han Fu. ”
Zhang Fei nodded, raised his eyes to the north, and said: "This place is the closest place in the whole Anping to Youzhou, from here to Zhuo County on horseback, but two hundred miles away, fast horses can be reached in two days." ”
Zhang Da instigated and said: "Captain Zhang, Zhuo County is so close to us, we came out this time with cavalry, why don't we go back quietly after the incident?" ”
"You slave, shut up!" Zhang Feihuan's eyes widened angrily and scolded Zhang Da. "We came out this time to clear up the bandits in the northern part of Anping, how can we forget our duties for the sake of personal feelings? Even if Zhuo County is on the other side of the water, after completing the task, we can't go back privately, we must hand over the errand to Lord Liu, and then get permission to leave the team! ”
was reprimanded by Zhang Fei, Zhang Da shrunk his neck and didn't dare to squeak.
Zhang Da was originally a private soldier of the Zhang family, and when Liu Bei raised troops in Zhuo County, he joined the army with Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei scolded him as a "house slave", which was not too much. It's just that Zhang Fei's temper of being calm one moment and stormy the next moment is really not acceptable to ordinary people.
Fan Qiang saw that Zhang Fei stopped scolding, and asked in a low voice: "Zhang Duwei, I heard that there are several strongmen in Boling County and Wuyuan County who are quite powerful, should we cross the river to clear them?" ”
"Go! Why not? As long as we are fast enough, we can solve the cottages where these strongmen are entrenched, and return to Anping immediately, even if it is known afterwards, it is not a big deal. Zhang Fei made the final decision.
That night, Zhang Fei led the team to quietly cross the river, entered Wuyuan County and slaughtered two cottages, from which he grabbed hundreds of stones of grain, much softer gold and silver, and returned to Wupu Pavilion at dawn.
On the night of the next day, Zhang Fei led his team to cross the river again, entered the territory of Boling County, broke through two dock forts, killed hundreds of young and strong people in the forts, and snatched nearly 1,000 stones of grain and hundreds of pigs and sheep. Because of the heavy harvest, Zhang Fei had to stay in Boling for half a day, and hired some local people to transport grain, pigs and sheep back to the camp in Wuling Pavilion.
On the third day, when Zhang Fei was about to move his troops back to Xindu, he suddenly heard that Zhang Da came to report, saying that someone from his hometown in Zhuo County was looking for him. Zhang Fei hurriedly went out of the tent and welcomed the uncle of his family who was sent by Mrs. Zhang to deliver the letter into the tent.
As soon as the uncle of this family saw Zhang Fei, he hurriedly said: "Yide, the big thing is not good, our Zhangjiazhuang has been robbed!" ”
"What?! Where did you get a thief, so bold, even my Zhangjiazhuang dared to rob it! After Zhang Fei heard this, he was immediately furious.
"It's not a thief, it's an officer and soldier from Jicheng, they came to Zhuo County to forcibly collect grain, but the old lady refused to give it, so he smashed the door of the village, killed dozens of descendants in the village, and robbed the grain in the warehouse clean! The old lady was so angry that she fainted, and now she is lying on the couch and the water does not enter the ......"
Zhang Fei heard that the gate of Zhangjiazhuang was broken, and dozens of people of the same clan died, and the old father was so angry that he couldn't sit still, so he immediately called Zhang Da and Fan Qiang, and ordered the two to lead five hundred soldiers to escort the captured grain, pigs, sheep, gold and silver back to Xindu, and he took five hundred cavalry to the north.
Two days later, when Zhang Da and Fan Qiang were still on the way, Zhang Fei led 500 cavalry to Zhuoxian.
After seeing his father on the sickbed, Zhang Feiqiang endured the anger in his heart and comforted a few words, carefully inquired about the situation that day, and then led people straight to the county seat. Zhuo County is located in the hinterland of Youzhou, in the past, it rarely suffered from military disasters, and there was no permanent army in the county, only some servants.
Zhang Fei took 500 cavalry, rampaged into the county office, arrested the county magistrate and a small official, and brought them back to Zhangjiazhuang, and then gathered the old and young in the village, one by one, and killed all the officials in the county.
Subsequently, Zhang Fei sent people to inquire about Xian Yuyin's whereabouts, but heard that Xian Yuyin with two thousand soldiers had now entered Guangyang City, so Zhang Fei dispelled the idea of chasing and killing Xian Yuyin, and took hundreds of clansmen who did not have five suits in the clan to the south and left Youzhou.
When Zhang Fei killed Zhuo County, Xian Yuyin had already completed the task of collecting grain in Liangxiang and was escorting the grain team to Guangyang City. He didn't know that after he left, the officials of Zhuo County turned out to be the knife of the fierce Zhang Yide, if he walked slowly, his life would really be in danger.
Zhang Da and Fan Qiang returned to Xindu with 500 cavalry and looted food and property, and after seeing Liu Bei, they didn't dare to mention Zhang Fei's private return to Zhuo County, but how could they escape Liu Bei's eyes
Liu Bei called Zhang Da into the mansion and asked with a calm face, "Why didn't you see Captain Zhang return?" ”
Zhang Da lowered his head and didn't dare to answer.
"This time, you only brought back five hundred cavalry, were the remaining five hundred people taken away by Captain Zhang?"
Zhang Da nodded, which was an acknowledgement.
"Be bold Zhang Da, don't truthfully report the whereabouts of Captain Zhang to this official!"
Zhang Da was forced to be helpless, so he had to confess all the things about Zhang Fei leading his troops back to Zhuo County to seek revenge.
After Liu Bei heard this, he was so angry that he stomped his feet. "Nonsense! It's nonsense! I only sent someone to Jicheng a few days ago, wanting to strengthen the relationship with Youzhou, how can the third brother take the soldiers back to Zhuo County to make trouble! ”
After being annoyed, Liu Bei said to Jian Yong beside him: "Xianhe, please take twenty people to Zhuo County immediately, and persuade the third brother to come back to me no matter what!" ”
Jian Yong received the order, and hurriedly led people out of Xindu and went straight to the north.
When Jian Yong walked to Gecheng, he happened to meet Zhang Fei and the Zhang clan who crossed the river on the bank of Yishui, and after some inquiry, he learned that Zhang Fei had killed Zhuo County Commander and avenged the destruction of Zhuangmen.
At this point, Jian Yong knew that it was useless to say more, so he had to accompany Zhang Fei to return to Xindu.
When Zhang Fei came to Xindu with the Zhang clan, Guan Yu and Tian Yu withdrew to Xindu a few days earlier, because Liu He set a rule for Xindu that no troops were allowed to enter the city, so they camped between Xindu and Fuliu.
When Liu Bei heard that Zhang Fei had returned, he hurried to the camp from the city, first met with Mrs. Zhang, and then sat down with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Tian Yu to drink and feast, and did not mention Zhang Fei's private return to Zhuo County.
At night, Jian Yong came to see Liu Bei and asked how to deal with Zhang Fei's killing of officials in Zhuo County, Liu Bei said with a sad face: "The third brother has indeed acted a little bit this time, if he annoys the eldest prince of Jicheng because of this, I am afraid that we will be sad in Xindu in the future." ”
Jian Yong asked puzzledly, "Is this matter so serious?" Zhang Duwei just killed a county order, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there are not a few county guards who have been killed, and there are countless county orders and small officials who have been killed, even a famous guard like Qiao Mao was not killed by Liu Dai when he said he would kill him? ”
Liu Bei said: "This matter should not be underestimated. Although Zhuoxian Ling is a petty official, it is related to the face of Youzhou, with my understanding of the style of the eldest prince who has just returned to Jicheng, I am afraid that this matter will be difficult to be good. ”
Jian Yong said a little indifferently: "That Liu He is just a weak scholar, relying on the protection of his father Liu Bo'an, he dared to stir up trouble in Jizhou, why is Xuande so jealous of this person?" I heard that Liu Bo'an is now unable to protect himself, and it is difficult to return to Jicheng when he is trapped in Macheng, but I am afraid that Liu Gongzi will not have time to ask about these things now, right? ”
Liu Bei did not agree with Jian Yong's analysis, shook his head and said: "Xianhe can't be careless, this Liu Gongzi acts completely different from Liu Bo'an, he is a soft-faced and ruthless person!" ”
"Xuande won't hand over Yide to that Liu He, right?"
"Yide is my brother-in-law, even if I personally go to Jicheng to ask Liu Yu for guilt, I can't hand over the third brother to Liu Hefaluo!"
"Xuande is now in charge of Anping's affairs, how can he go to Jicheng, or I'll go!" Jian Yong volunteered.
Liu Bei stopped Jian Yong and said, "This matter still needs to be considered in the long run. Liu Bo'an and Gongsun Bojun are now on the same footing, that Liu He is not a fuel-efficient lamp, we nominally belong to Gongsun Zhan, the third brother led the troops back to Zhuo County to kill the county order, it is equivalent to Gongsun Chan took the initiative to attack Liu Yu, we can make a big fuss about this matter. ”
"When Li Yizi and Le He were greedy for money, Xianhe went to bribe them with a batch of property, and then asked them to say some bad things about Liu Yu and Liu He in Gongsun Zhan's ear, provoking the conflict between Gongsun Chan and Liu Yu. In this way, there is a reason for the third brother to cover up what he did, and we don't have to directly face Liu Yu's anger. ”
"Xuande is clever! So I left for Nanpi. ”
Jian Yong got up, but this time Liu Bei did not stop him.
