Chapter 423: The End of the Hero

In the 11th year of Jian'an, September 19.

Liu Chuang was on the battlefield of Dangyang, and suddenly threw a large amount of heavenly thunder and fire into one fell swoop, defeating the rebels in one fell swoop.

Pang Tong was captured, Jiang Wan was killed in battle, and Deng Kai was even more miserable in the bombardment of thunder and fire on a rainy day, and there were almost no bones left.

In this battle, the Han army captured more than 10,000 rebels and died on the spot, or more than 3,000 rebels were killed by the bombing, and the rest fled the battlefield.

As for the fate of these deserters in the future, Liu Chuang had no intention of paying attention to it.

When the time comes, there will be a new Jingzhou assassin to be in charge of this matter, and it will be impossible to think of these routs.

However, Pang Tong was captured, which was somewhat unexpected by Liu Chuang. But at this moment, Liu Chuang had no intention of waiting for Pang Tong to wake up, because he had more important things.

"Wen Xiang!"

"The end will be."

"I will lead you with two thousand flying bear guards, and immediately raise troops and rush to Jingling.

If the defenders surrendered, it would be acceptable. If the defenders of Jingling refuse to surrender, you will garrison your troops in Yunxiang and guard the passage to Huarong. I will then order Righteousness to rush to Yunxiang to join you. In short, you have to guard Yunxiang for me, and you can't let anyone go. ”

"Whoa!"

Xu Sheng was overjoyed, immediately ordered his soldiers and horses, and set off for Jingling overnight.

Liu Chuang summoned Zhang Ren, "Righteousness, if you want to come to Anlu's side, the war should also begin."

With 8,000 soldiers and horses, I went to Anlu overnight to participate in the battle of Anlu. Listen clearly, don't let one rebel go south, be sure to cooperate with others to drive the rebel to Nanxinshi. Then, you, Huang Zhong and others surrounded the rebels with Nanxin City, understand? ”

"Understand, Admiral!"

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Zhang Ren immediately led the troops away, and Liu Chuang returned to Dangyang.

As for the banks of the Dangyang River, there are Lu Meng and others cleaning up the battlefield, and there is no need for Liu Chuang to bother.

After he arrived in Dangyang, he immediately summoned Fazheng.

Liu Bei fled in defeat in Zhijiang and is currently missing. For this Xiaoqiang who can't be killed in history, Liu Chuang didn't dare to relax his vigilance. He and Fa Zheng carefully studied the direction in which Liu Bei might escape. Finally, the target is locked on Yidao. According to the current form, it is indeed possible for Liu Bei to flee to Yidao. The reason is very simple! Jiangling, the only way to Changsha, has been occupied by Liu Chuang. If Liu Bei was not a fool, he would never dare to retreat from Jiangling...... And he is also accompanied by a Liu Feng, who is a native of Jingnan and is more familiar with the customs of Jingnan. Therefore, Liu Bei will definitely flee from Yidao to Changsha, after all, there is still some strength there.

Liu Feng. He is from Changsha.

He was originally from the Kou clan in Changsha. And Kou is in Changsha. Although it is not a leader, it is also quite powerful.

Liu Bei will not give up easily, he will definitely find a way to make a comeback.

"I should take a detachment of my own men and horses and go to Yidao.

Filial piety sits in Dangyang. Immediately inform Ziheng and ask him to send troops from Jiangling to occupy Yidao.

In addition, I sent someone to tell the king of Wuxi, saying that I would summon him in Yidao, and that I would never regret what I promised him before. ”

"Prime Minister, that Xichuan ......"

Liu Chuang frowned and fell into deep thought.

After a while, he spoke: "Order Zhang He to lead his troops to enter Yiling." If the Xichuan soldiers and horses attack, they will only defend and not attack, waiting for reinforcements. ”

"Whoa!"

Fa Zheng, bow down to receive orders.

With the general mobilization of the Han army, Xiahou Xuan's troops have arrived in Xiangyang.

And Cao Ren's department. then stationed in Nanyang County; Cao Chun's soldiers and horses also arrived at Atou Mountain.

This time, the Han army gathered 300,000 troops to succeed in a battle. But judging from the current form, the significance of the deterrence of the 300,000-strong army is far greater than the game. From a certain point of view, Liu Chuang didn't want to turn against Liu Zhang at this time, and he didn't want to use troops against Xichuan.

His main energy now can be said to be on Liu Bei......

On the second day after the Battle of Dangyang, west of Anlu Zhuanshui, the Han army also launched a ferocious attack on Zhang Fei and Chen Dao.

Zhang Fei originally wanted to fight a decisive battle with the Han army, but was stopped by Chen Zhi.

At this time, the results of the battle of Dangyang had not yet reached Chen Zhi's ears, but Chen Zhi sensed that the situation was not good.

He stopped Zhang Fei, forcibly ordered the withdrawal of troops, and quickly retreated in the direction of Jingling. didn't want to be blocked by Zhang Ren on the way, and dragged the two of them to death. Subsequently, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, and Wenpin pursued from the rear, and under a scuffle, Zhang Fei led his troops to break through, while Chen Zhi led the remnants of the defeated army to flee north, all the way to Nanxin City, and Guan Yuhui was united......

Zhao Yunma Chao immediately joined forces and quickly pursued Chen Dao.

The army joined up with Yun Du and Huang Zhong and surrounded Nanxin City.

And Zhang Fei escaped for more than 30 miles after breaking out of the siege before he was able to count the soldiers and horses.

As a result, the rebels who fled with him added up to only about 300 people...... At this time, Zhang Fei also heard the news of Pang Tong's defeat.

"It's been said a long time ago that the yellow-mouthed child is useless!"

Zhang Fei slapped his thigh and scolded, and then fell into deep thought.

The elder brother Liu Bei fled from Zhijiang and is currently missing. Although the yellow-mouthed child was useless, he did one thing right, that is, to let Ma Liang withdraw his troops in advance and retreat to Changsha. Well, now I have to retreat to Changsha and join forces with Ma Jichang.

I believe that if my brother escapes, he will definitely join me in Changsha.

Thinking of this, Zhang Fei made up his mind.

He took his people and fled straight to the direction of Jingling, but on the way, he got news that the Han army had captured Jingling.

"Three generals, how should this be?"

The person who spoke, named Zhang Cun, was from Nanyang County. This person is also quite talented, but he has never been compatible with Pang Tong. It is no wonder that Zhang Cun was born in a poor family, and it is reasonable that he does not agree with Pang Tong, and now under Zhang Fei's account, he is responsible for the position of the main bookkeeper.

Historically, he worked for Liu Bei and followed Liu Bei into Sichuan.

Pang Tong died in Fengpo, and Liu Bei was sad in his heart, but Zhang Cun didn't think so, so that he angered Liu Bei and deposed him.

At this point, it's getting late.

Zhang Fei closed his eyes, and after pondering for a long time, he asked Zhang Cundao: "Then do you know that there are traces of enemy soldiers in Yunxiang?" ”

"According to the report of the Tanma, the banners of the Han army are planted all over the city, but the road leading to Huarong in Yunxiang is nowhere to be seen."

Zhang Fei suddenly laughed, "I said how powerful Liu Chuang is, and he is also a complacent...... Hey, in that case. Let's take the Yunxiang trail overnight and withdraw from Huarong to Changsha. Now that it is getting late, the thieves must have relaxed their vigilance, and we are just in time to hurry. ”

Zhang Cun immediately nodded and praised, "The third general is really witty. ”

At that moment, Zhang Fei fled to Yunxiang with the remnants of the defeated army.

It's just that the weather in September is unpredictable. During the day, the sun was still shining, but after dark, it began to rain lightly.

The rain is cold, and it makes people feel even more cold to the bone.

Zhang Fei and others braved the light rain. Trek all the way. In the ugly time is approaching, finally arrived in Yunxiang.

Yunxiang Trail. The river is dense, but silent. Zhang Fei hurriedly asked people to speed up, striving to arrive in Huarong before dawn. However, this light rain made the road more and more muddy. When I came to a river beach. It's already sleepy. Zhang Fei saw that the team was getting slower and slower, and his fiery temper finally couldn't be suppressed, so he kept beating the soldiers, and ordered the soldiers to speed up. After crossing the river, there is a trail with bushy hillsides on both sides and a path sandwiched in between. Zhang Cun told Zhang Fei that as long as he crossed this path, he would be completely safe. Zhang Fei listened. Hurriedly urged the soldiers to speed up again, trying to do their best to get to guò from the path......

For some reason, the trail was muddier and uneven than the previous one, making it extremely difficult to navigate.

Halfway through. Many people had fallen into the mud pit, and Zhang Fei was riding on his horse, and he also felt that the situation did not seem to be normal.

"Churen, I remember this road, it wasn't so difficult before."

"Yes, I remember that although the road is rough, there are not so many mud puddles on the road."

Zhang Fei hurriedly reined in the war horse, his eyes rolled, and suddenly shouted: "It's not good, we are in ambush!" ”

Before the words fell, I suddenly heard a rapid banging sound on the hillsides on both sides. Immediately after that, from the bushes, there appeared a dense crowd of soldiers dressed in robes. The soldiers, armed with bows and arrows, fired their bows and arrows toward the mountain road. Accompanied by rain of arrows, there are also thunderbolts flying down the hillside from time to time on the path. There was a violent explosion, and a ball of fire rose up, blowing Zhang Fei's troops into flesh and blood.

Zhang Cun was even more caught off guard, and was blurred by the flesh and blood of a heavenly thunderstorm......

Zhang Fei hurriedly turned the horse's head and wanted to escape, but he only ran out a few steps, and when he got off the horse, he neighed miserably, and his hind hooves fell into the mud pit. It was also Zhang Fei's superb riding skills that he was not thrown off. But this one was panicked, and the snake spear in his hand was flawed, and a sharp arrow flew in and hit Zhang Fei's arm. Zhang Fei, who was in pain, screamed and almost got rid of the Zhangba snake spear. Immediately after, arrows flew like rain. With such a dense rain of arrows, don't say that Zhang Fei is not injured, and it is difficult to avoid it when he is at his peak, not to mention that he is now sleepy and lacking horses, and the horses are stuck in mud pits, and he is also injured...... In the blink of an eye, Zhang Fei was shot like a hedgehog with his people and horses, and he fell off the horse with a poof.

The rain of arrows lasted for a long time before it gradually stopped.

On the hillside, the lights suddenly brightened, and I saw Lu Meng and Xu Sheng appear on the hillside on one side, looking at the path under the mountain littered with corpses, a smile flashed on their faces.

Xu Sheng seized Jingling without much effort.

After Lu Meng arrived at Jingling, when he inspected the Yunxiang Trail, he suddenly came up with a plan.

"On the battlefield, it is inevitable that there will be fish that slip through the net.

If it is an ordinary person, it will flee on its own after defeat. However, if it is Zhang Fei Chen and the like, he can't help but guard against it...... We can set up a pit in the path, and then lay an ambush on both sides, pretending to be in the city, but in fact ambushing the path to lure the traitors into the bait. During the day, they may not dare to pass, but if they pass at night, it is difficult to detect the ambush on the road. When you and I ambush our troops, and then shoot them with our bows, we will be victorious. ”

Xu Sheng listened to Lu Meng's plan and was immediately overjoyed.

He nodded again and again, so together with Lu Meng, he ambushed here.

"Is it Zhang Fei?"

When Xu Sheng and Lu Meng walked to the path and saw Zhang Fei's corpse clearly, they couldn't help but be surprised.

Xu Sheng couldn't help laughing, "Ziming, if you can shoot Zhang Fei today, Ziming should take the first credit...... With this fang's head, Zi Mingyan doesn't fly Huang Tengda? ”

The grievances between Zhang Fei and Liu Chuang, Xu Sheng is very clear.

Now that Zhang Fei has died on this Yunxiang trail, Liu Chuang must be very happy to know about it......

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

As Fa Zheng thought, after Liu Bei and Liu Feng fled from Zhijiang, they planned to retreat to Yidao.

It's just that the Wuxi barbarians were rampant along the way, and they had to be careful to dodge. On the way to Yidao, Liu Bei was injured by the poisonous arrows of the Wuxi barbarians and fell unconscious. Subsequently, Liu Chuang and Zhuge Jun. That is, that Ge Jun joined forces in one place, captured Yidao, and cut off Liu Bei's escape road.

In desperation, Liu Feng protected Liu Bei into the mountains.

However, after entering the mountain, the weather became colder and colder. Liu Feng and others lacked food and clothing, and Liu Bei was even more unconscious because he did not receive timely medical treatment. At the beginning, Liu Feng also tried his best to take care of Liu Bei. But as we entered October, the temperature became lower and lower, and there were fewer and fewer people following Liu Feng...... Liu Bei's general trend has gone. Everyone knows it. Especially Liu Feng in an accident. When you go out of the mountain to listen to the news. Knowing that Zhang Fei died in Yunxiang, Liu Pan led the army back to Changsha from Guiyang, and with the help of the old king of Wuxi, after defeating Ma Liang's troops in Changsha. knew that even if Liu Bei survived, it would be a situation where he would be powerless to return to the sky.

He respects Liu Bei, but it does not mean that he is loyal to Liu Bei.

Later, Liu Feng heard that Changsha Kou's family was arrested and taken out of prison, and he couldn't help but become more and more anxious.

Although he worshipped Liu Bei as his father-in-law, he changed his surname. But in his bones, Liu Feng is still a child of the Kou family...... The reason why he took refuge in Liu Bei was also to seek a background for the Kou family. But now. The Kou family was implicated because of him, and all the people were arrested, and no one was spared.

Sitting at the entrance of the cave, Liu Feng leaned against the cold stone wall, stunned.

Several members of his entourage crouched beside him. His eyes looked straight at Liu Feng, as if waiting for him to make a decision.

"Childe, there is a way that is non-toxic and not a husband, is it possible that you really want to cut off the Kou family's life for a person with a different surname?"

A personal entourage, lowered his voice and said: "What's more, the son treats him like a father, but after all, he is not his own." If he has an heir in the future, he will not spare his son...... Such a sentiment is not true at all. If Gongzi turns back now, he can't say that he can still find a future. ”

"Yes, Childe, at this time, you have to make a decision as soon as possible.

When I went out of the mountain today, I heard that Prime Minister Liu Cheng's army had entered Jingzhou. There are only 100,000 pioneers, and no one in Jingzhou dares to be an enemy of the prime minister. Even the soldiers and horses of Naxichuan, after learning of the arrival of the imperial army, quickly retreated and retreated to Wuxian to garrison.

In my opinion, Prime Minister Liu Cheng is a man of destiny and came to the Zhongxing Han Chamber...... Although that person is a relative of the Han family, he can mutilate his siblings, how can he be the master? ”

Under the light of the fire, Liu Feng's face was cloudy.

After a long time, he suddenly stood up and strode towards the cave.

As he walked, he flipped his wrist and took out a short blade, and his eyes showed even more determination......

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The time has come to mid-October.

The climate in Jingnan is extremely wet and cold, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.

The wind was not violent, but it penetrated through the cracks of the clothes and penetrated into the body along the pores. The war in Jingzhou has come to an end. Zhang Fei died in the Yunxiang Trail, and Liu Bei fled into Huya Mountain, but was killed by Liu Feng, and the head was sent to Yidao County by Liu Feng.

However, this Liu Feng is also a backbone.

After he killed Liu Bei, he also killed himself in the mountains, and only asked people to bring a letter to Liu Chuang.

"My assistance to Liu Bei is my own behavior, and it has nothing to do with my family.

The prime minister is a person who understands righteousness, and he must be able to distinguish the reason. Today, I killed Liu Bei, not for my personal future, but to ask the prime minister to release my family. I know that I have sinned deeply, and I have no shame to see the world again, so I can only commit suicide to repay the kindness of Xuande Gong. ”

After reading the letter, Liu Chuang was also full of emotion.

In history, Liu Feng has always been loyal to Liu Bei.

It's just that because of his identity as a righteous son, he has caused too much criticism, so that he has a lot of disagreements with Guan Yu and others. Later, Guan Yu was defeated and went to Maicheng and asked Liu Feng for help, but Liu Feng refused. Originally, he could have fled to Eastern Wu like Elfang, but he did not choose to do so, but led his troops back to Xichuan and was killed by Liu Bei...... This person, it is difficult to tell the difference between good and evil. said that he was a wicked person, but in fact, Liu Feng never had the idea of betraying Liu Bei. Even if he kills Liu Bei now, it is not for the individual, but for the family.

Liu Chuang's subordinate Liu Bei's head ordered someone to go to Changsha and release Liu Feng's family.

As for Liu Bei's corpse......

He still ordered a thick burial.

No matter how many grievances Liu Chuang and Liu Bei had, in his previous life, Liu Bei was always the person he admired, and he didn't want to slack off.

After Liu Bei's death, only Guan Yu and Chen Dao, who were fighting the trapped beasts in Nanxin City, were left in Jingzhou.

Liu Chuang had already asked Deng Zhi to take Guan Ping to Nanxin City to persuade Guan Yu to surrender...... In fact, Guan Yu and Liu Bei have been in conflict over the years. The contradiction between the two has existed as early as ten years ago in Xuzhou, but Liu Bei is sleek, so it complements each other. There are not too many grievances between Guan Yu and Liu Chuang. He is not like Zhang Fei, and he has had many conflicts with Liu Chuang.

This is the third time Liu Chuang has released Guan Ping, and it has also made Guan Yu even more contradictory.

He could feel that Liu Chuang was indeed very respectful of him, but ......

"Prime MinisterBefore I set off, the Prime Minister told me that the general is very human!

The eldest husband was born in the world, why can't he win fame with his three-foot Qingfeng? The people who were surrendered by the generals were not prime ministers, but tens of millions of people. Now that the war in northern Xinjiang has resumed again, the prime minister will return to Luoyang in the near future and lead his troops north to fight against Hulu. The general is a hero in the world, and this great husband is in a foreign land. The prime minister ordered me to come and invite the general to go north together, thirsty for the blood of the Huns, hungry for Hulu meat, isn't it also happy? ”

These words hit the softest place in Guan Yu's heart.

Even Chen Dao, who was sitting silently on the side, had a brilliant flash in his eyes, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Seeing this, Deng Zhi hurriedly said: "General Haojie, why is there only infighting?"

If our Han people work together, why worry about the Han Dynasty for thousands of years? General Guan and General Chen, when this big husband made great contributions. Today, the prime minister built the Lingyan Pavilion in Luoyang, and he wanted to contribute to the heroes of my Han Dynasty and leave a name in the pavilion, which was also an opportunity for the two generals to make contributions. ”

Anyway, Liu Bei is dead!

The dead are gone, and the living still need to plan for the future......

Guan Yu Danfeng's eyes closed slightly, and after pondering for a long time, he suddenly turned his head to look at Chen Zhi, "Uncle Zhi, what do you think the prime minister said?" ”
