Chapter 420: Armageddon (2)

Using thunderous means to quell the civil strife in Dangyang, Liu Chuang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But he knew very well that the real test had just begun. Those rebels don't have to count on it, to be honest, the combat effectiveness is not very strong. Acting as a logistical agent, escorting grain and grass, passing a message, building fortifications, maybe it will be completed, and expecting them to charge into battle? Liu Chuang really didn't think about it. But in this way, there are more than 30,000 soldiers and horses in Liu Chuang's hands, but not many of them can actually be put into battle.

The Flying Bear Guard, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, plus the 5,000 foot soldiers in Wen Ping's hands, add up to only 12,000 people.

Fortunately, the terrain of Nagasaka Slope is different, and it is not suitable for large-scale operations. Liu Chuang's occupation of a high place can be regarded as a convenient location. But with 50,000 rebels, it is not easy to resist them. Suddenly, Liu Chuang had a feeling during the battle of Cao Cao's Guandu!

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

At the end of August of the 11th year of Jian'an, a sudden decisive battle attracted the attention of the Quartet.

Jingzhou is turbulent, and the situation is unpredictable.

First, Liu Qi rebelled against Liu Biao, and then Liu Biao sent troops to conquer. followed Liu Bei to participate in the war, united with Liu Qi to fight against Liu Biao, and then Liu Biao was kidnapped and died unexpectedly in Changbanpo. Liu Chuang entered Jingzhou and confronted the rebels at Changbanpo, which further complicated the situation.

Overall, Liu Chuang is powerful.

However, in the battle of Nagasaka Slope, he did not have the upper hand.

At this time, Xiangyang was in a mess.

Although Cai Mao and others tried their best to appease, many fluctuations inevitably occurred.

Fortunately. When Liu Chuang stabilized the situation in Dangyang and stationed in Changbanpo, Fa Zheng ordered Zhang He to be the vanguard, leading an army of 30,000 to march from Wancheng and stationed in Atou Mountain, which was only 100 miles away from Xiangyang. At the same time, Xun Yu also returned to Luoyang, taking over the overall situation of Luoyang.

His first order after arriving in Luoyang was to call up soldiers and horses in Henan.

Cao Hongxiahou was reused again. Take on the heavy responsibility; The original Runan guarded Li Tong, worshiped the general of Poyu, and sent troops from Runan to Nanyang; Yingchuan Xu Sheng, led 20,000 troops, Yuezhong Yangshan arrived at Wuyin...... The entire Yuzhou, accompanied by Xun Yu's order. All of them moved, and their momentum was so great that it made people feel heart-pounding. Mo said that Jingzhou was directly facing, and even Liu Zhang, who was far away in Xichuan, couldn't help but be frightened.

Liu Chuang's action this time is really too big!

In accordance with his current initiative. The number of people participating in the Battle of Jingzhou is likely to exceed 300,000.

Although this is not a soldier of the country. But it can also be called the power of a state. Not only that, with the opening of the Battle of Jingzhou, the originally somewhat peaceful Jiangdong War suddenly became fierce. After He Qi and Liu Yong converged, they gathered 30,000 soldiers and horses, crossed Fuchun Mountain, and besieged Yixian. And with the momentum of thunder, he broke through Yixian. Bing Feng pointed directly at Peng Ze, intending to cut off Cheng Pu's retreat.

After Cheng Pu learned the news, he immediately sent the general Dong Xi to garrison Peng Ze to prevent the Han army from sneaking attack.

But in fact, when He Qi captured Yixian, it was equivalent to separating Danyang and Yuzhang County, and it was difficult to communicate with each other.

Not only that, after the Han army landed, Xu Shu immediately pulled up Sun Shao's banner, ordered Gan Ning to abandon the ship and land, captured Wucheng and Youquan counties, and the soldiers pointed directly at Wu County. At this time, Wu County was also in chaos. Sun Quan decided to move the capital to Moling, and his control over Wu County was much weaker. When the Han army began to attack Wu County, the Wu County clan was also ready to move. The Gu clan of Wu County took the lead in launching a mutiny and started an incident in Lou County. In this way, it was equivalent to clearing the obstacles for the Han army to land in the eastern part of Wu County.

At the beginning of September of the 11th year of Jian'an, Zhou Cang and Li Dayin, the deputy governors of the navy, landed in Wu County......

Koto's defense line has completely collapsed!

The whole Yangzhou is also panicked.

Originally, Liu Bei, who was pinned on by Sun Quan, was also in a dilemma at this time.

Liu Biao's murder confirmed his reputation as a conspirator, and made him even more dilemma. Originally, Liu Bei detained Liu Qi and prepared to detain Liu Pan. Who knew that Liu Pan got the news in advance, escaped from Linxiang with a group of relatives, and crossed the Xiangshui to Yinshan. This Yin Mountain is not the Yin Mountain in the north, but a county seat in Guiyang County. Guiyang is too shou Kuaizheng, the younger brother of Kuaiyue, who was previously ordered to take over Guiyang and prepare for the Kuai clan's southward migration. After Liu Pan arrived in Yinshan, he immediately contacted Kuai Zheng and cried to him about Liu Bei's conspiracy.

Although Kuaizheng is too guarded by Guiyang, he does not dare to make his own claims.

He sent people to Cangwu overnight to tell Buqi what happened in Jingzhou.

Buqi just stabilized the situation.

It turned out that this Cangwu was too guarded by Wu Ju, and he had a deep friendship with Liu Bei, and he had always been dissatisfied with Shixie. Bu Qiu was ordered to sit in Jiaozhou, of course, it was impossible to sit back and watch Wu Jukong zhì Jiaozhou portal. So he secretly contacted Huang Ge, entered Cangwu alone, and killed Wu Ju.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Wu Ju was executed, something happened in Jingzhou.

Bu Qi couldn't help but feel lucky, if he hadn't killed Wu Ju in advance, once Wu Ju had an incident in Cangwu, Guiyang would inevitably be in chaos.

Liu Biao died, and Liu Bei became a thief......

Bu Qi didn't even have time to inform Liu Chuang, so he quickly made up his mind and ordered Zhong Limu to be the Taishou of Cangwu, and ordered the general Huanjie to be the vanguard, and the troops were sent to Guiyang.

"It's no wonder Shi Yuan for this matter!"

Liu Bei looked helpless, and said to Chen Zhi with a wry smile: "The incident happened suddenly, no one expected that the thief's reaction would be so fast. If Shi Yuan retreated at that time, it would inevitably lead to the collapse of the entire battle situation. He did this out of helplessness. Although I was not ready for a decisive battle with the thieves, I had to do it in advance...... Uncle Zhi, you immediately go to Dangyang and help Shiyuan. ”

"...... over here"

Chen Zhi looked at Liu Bei in surprise, revealing a worried look.

Liu Bei smiled and said: "Uncle Zhi rest assured, I have already discussed with the old barbarian king of Wuxi, and he will send troops to capture Huya Mountain on the same day."

As long as Wuxi Man sends troops, there is still room for redemption in this battle.

I sit in Gangneung, and I am here to greet the old barbarian king. ”

Liu Bei was also desperate this time...... He wanted to use Pang Tong to drag Liu Chuang's attention. After converging with Wuximan. He attacked Zhijiang and captured Linfang, and then rushed straight to Xiangyang, cutting off Liu Chuang's retreat. Strategically speaking, this is also Liu Bei's best choice at present.

However, to accomplish this strategic goal, the Battle of Dangyang is crucial.

The more attention the Battle of Dangyang attracted, the easier it was for Liu Bei to succeed...... Liu Bei knew this very well in his heart, and at the same time to ensure victory. He buried this decision in his heart, and no one told him. The more fierce the battle of Dangyang, the greater the possibility of his success!

Chen Zhi naturally didn't know what Liu Bei thought, but he felt that what Liu Bei said was not wrong.

At that moment, Chen Zhi led his troops to Dangyang to participate in the war. 10,000 elite soldiers are also the greatest force that Liu Bei can put into the battle of Dangyang. It's just that when Chen arrived in Dangyang, he unexpectedly found that the battle situation in Dangyang didn't seem to be as simple as he imagined......

"Shiyuan, why is there such a fiasco?"

On the banks of the Dangyang River. In the big tent of the Chinese army, Pang Tong and Zhang Fei argued.

Originally. Just the day before Chen arrived in Dangyang, the two sides started a bloody battle in front of Changban Slope.

If you want to talk about the resentment of Liu Chuang, I'm afraid no one can compare to Zhang Fei. Therefore, after the reinforcements arrived and stabilized their position, Zhang Fei asked for an immediate attack. Pang Tong didn't think so. That's when the attack can be won. However, Zhang Fei had made up his mind, and Pang Tong couldn't persuade him. I had to say yes. Zhang Sanye's temperament is up, how can Pang Tong be able to stop it? In history, the only person who could stop Zhang Fei was Liu Bei. Even Guan Yu couldn't suppress it. Not to mention that now, there are quite contradictions between Zhang Fei and Guan Yu.

Zhang Fei insisted on fighting, and Pang Tong had to agree.

In Zhang Fei's view, his own military advantage will inevitably be impossible to lose to Liu Chuang.

Who knows, Liu Chuang couldn't avoid the battle in Changbanpo, and let Zhang Fei scold outside. The two sides were in a stalemate for a long time, and at noon, Zhang Feiren was sleepy and ready to retreat, but Liu Chuang suddenly came out of the village. Zhang Ren is on the left, Cao Zhang is on the right, and Liu Chuang is in the center.

Zhang Fei was caught off guard, and was killed by Liu Chuang, and he turned over on his back and collapsed.

If it weren't for Pang Tong's timely dispatch to rescue, Zhang Fei would have been more than lucky...... But even so, Guan Ping, who was in charge of rescuing Zhang Fei, was captured by Cao Zhangdianman and the two in front of the two armies. Pang Tong sent troops to the rescue, and Wen Ping took the opportunity to sneak attack and defeated the rebels.

In this battle, the rebels lost more than 2,000 people.

For the army as a whole, the number of people lost was insignificant.

But in Zhang Fei's view, it was a great shame...... He believed that Pang Tong's rescue was not timely enough, while Pang Tong believed that it was caused by Zhang Fei's insistence. This involves a problem: Pang Tong's prestige is insufficient! Even with Liu Bei's support, it is difficult to convince the public.

This is also the result of Liu Chuang's butterfly inciting its wings.

In history, Liu Bei looked at the thatched house three times and invited Zhuge Liang.

Initially, neither Guan Yu nor Zhang Fei particularly agreed with Zhuge Liang. It wasn't until Zhuge Liang later used victory after victory, coupled with his good appeasement, that the two were convinced. But the situation of Pang Tong is different. At the beginning of Pang Tong's devotion to Liu Bei, Chen Deng presided over the overall situation, and Zhang Fei naturally did not dare to be a little slacking off on Chen Deng...... In this way, Pang Tong naturally did not have many opportunities to show his talents. After Chen Deng's death, Pang Tong served as a military advisor, but he did not have any good results, and because of his young age, he could not convince Zhang Fei. Even if Liu Bei highly respects Pang Tong, Zhang Fei's respect for Pang Tong is only superficial.

When there were no contradictions and conflicts, the two were able to live in peace.

Can ...... now

Zhang Fei believed that Pang Tong was not enough to take on the heavy responsibility, while Pang Tong believed that Zhang Fei was unruly and did not obey military orders.

Chen Zhi's head was as big as a fight, and he didn't know what to do. In his heart, he agreed with Pang Tong's statement! has known Zhang Fei for so many years, and he knows Zhang Fei very well and knows this person's temperament better. But the problem is that Liu Bei is not there, and even Chen Zhi can't suppress Zhang Fei. If he rashly accuses Zhang Fei, it will make Zhang Fei even more angry, but it will have a bad effect......

At the moment of the great enemy, there is a discord between the generals and commanders on their own side.

Chen Zhi pondered for a moment and asked, "Third brother thinks, how to save the situation?" ”

"Yesterday's defeat is unstable and morale is low.

A big win is needed to salvage the situation...... The thieves won by sneak attack yesterday, and they must be complacent. I want to steal the camp tonight, and the thief will not be prepared. ”

"The three generals are not right."

Pang Tong raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "Liu Chuang has been through a hundred battles, since he was born in Qu County. There have been more than 100 times of large and small wars. This person is not an unwise person, he is both wise and brave, and he is proficient in the art of war. Besides, there has always been no shortage of capable people around him, so how can there be no defense? ”

With that, he looked at Chen Dao.

"Today, Wuxi Man is about to descend the mountain, and the lord is sitting in Jiangling.

We waited for the troops to fight to the death against the thief, but to attract the thief's troops.

As long as the thief focuses entirely on Dangyang. The lord has an opportunity. When the time comes, the lord will unite with Wuxi Man, send troops from Jiangling, capture Zhijiang, Linfang, and approach Xiangyang, and the thieves will inevitably be in chaos. At that point, we'll strike again. You can win without a fight. ”

I have to say that the name of Pang Tong Phoenix Chick is not a false name.

His strategy coincided with what Liu Bei thought...... In this respect, Pang Tong is indeed extraordinary in terms of strategy and tactics......

That's just that. But it made Zhang Fei dissatisfied.

"How can a military advisor grow the morale of others and destroy his own prestige?

A certain view of Liu Chuang. However, the villain has a will, so there is nothing to worry about. If the army and division had sent troops in time yesterday, how could there be any defeat? Although the strategy of the military adviser is good, it must also depend on the changes in the situation on the battlefield. What if the troops are stationed here, but they cannot win, and the morale of the sons and daughters is low? Besides. If we win, we can make Wuxi Man more attentive...... The military advisor is so timid. How can you do big things? ”

Pang Tong was furious, and when he stood up, he was about to quarrel.

Seeing this, Chen Zhi and Ma Liang hurriedly stepped forward to persuade them.

"The plan of the military advisor is very good, but what the three generals said is not unreasonable.

It's better to do this, so I asked the three generals to steal the camp tonight, and Uncle Zhi led the troops to respond. If you can win, everyone will be happy; If they can't win, after the three generals, they must listen to what the military advisor says. Military advisors, three generals, uncle to general, do you think it is appropriate to do this? ”

Ma Liang's words are typical and muddy.

However, Zhang Fei naturally would not refuse, so he nodded and agreed.

Pang Tong was about to argue, but Ma Liang stopped him and dragged him out of the Chinese army's tent.

"Ji Chang, do you really think that the thief will be unprepared?

Thieves are good at using strange soldiers, and they are still good at stealing camps and robbing villages, so how can they not guard against others stealing camps? The three generals will definitely be defeated if they go, why do you agree? ”

Pang Tong's face turned red with anger, and in Ma Liang's military tent, he asked loudly.

Ma Liang smiled bitterly, pressed Pang Tong on the seat, and then served tea, "What Shiyuan said, how can I not know?" ”

As he spoke, he sighed, "Shiyuan has great talents, and I know it very well in my heart. But your mind is too straight, you need to know that the three generals are not the lords. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Shiyuan is in a high position, but he has no outstanding military exploits, and it is difficult to convince the public.

In the past, when Chen Yuanlong was alive, when did you ever have an objection to the three generals? To put it bluntly, you don't have enough prestige now to suppress the three generals. Chen Yuanlong is a famous man in Xuzhou, following the lord, it can be said that the family is ruined, and the three generals are also very grateful to him. But what about you? In terms of prestige, you are not as good as Chen Deng; In terms of qualifications, you are not as good as Shuzhi; When it comes to merit, you are also difficult to convince.

When the lord is here, you can naturally say anything, and that's because the lord supports you.

Can ...... now In this army, there are many people who believe in the three generals, and there are few people who obey Shiyuan's dispatch...... If you don't have the means, how can you govern the army? ”

Pang Tong is not a fool.

After he was stunned for a moment, he understood what Ma Liang meant.

couldn't help but show a bitter smile on his face, he looked at Ma Liang and said, "But if you do this, won't you ruin the lives of your sons in vain?" ”

Ma Liang said softly: "It's better than a fiasco!" ”

Pang Tong, silent!

What Ma Liang meant, Pang Tong is very clear.

Zhang Fei is a rebellious person, and he is indeed a trustworthy person.

If he loses this time, he will obey Pang Tong's dispatch after that. But in a battle, not only to fight wits and courage with the enemy, but also to intrigue with one's own people, it is inevitably embarrassing. Pang Tong is talented, but when it comes to emotional intelligence, he is not as clever as Ma Liang.

He likes to go straight and doesn't like intrigue.

It's just that the situation in front of him makes him feel cold, and it makes him feel a little desperate......

"Ji Chang, you and I are both from Jingzhou, I have a sentence, can you answer truthfully?"

Ma Liang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said: "Shi Yuan Mo is so strict, I know that this matter is unfair to you, but you can plan for the long term, so this is the best choice." If you have any questions, just ask. If Liang can answer, he will definitely know everything, and he will say everything. ”

"Can we really win?"

Pang Tong looked at Ma Liang directly, as if saying to himself: "You said that you are planning for the long term, but I think that no matter how long it is, it will not be long-term." ”

Ma couldn't help but chuckle in his conscience.

He quickly stood up, walked to the door of the military tent, and looked outside.

Seeing that there was no one around, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and after returning to the tent, he said softly: "Shiyuan, how could you say such a thing?" ”

Pang Tong smiled bitterly: "I thought that Xuande Gong could achieve great things.

But I don't want to...... Previously, I had offered a three-point strategy with Xuande Gong, but the situation changed too quickly, and I was caught off guard. I thought that Sun Quan III was sitting in Jiangdong and had a deep foundation, so how could he confront Liu Chuang. But he didn't want Sun Quan's backyard to catch fire, which made the Jiangdong war situation quickly erode. To be honest, it is not wise for Xuande Gong to do it now.

His control over Jing Nan is almost none.

I originally planned to take advantage of the confrontation between Sun Quan and the thieves, and Xuande Gong stood firm in Jingnan. Who knows...... Now fortunately, the killing of Jingsheng Gong also made Xuande Gong infamous. Just relying on these soldiers and horses in front of him, even with the help of Wuxi, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve great things...... Unless, Liu Zhang sent troops to help. But Jingsheng Gong was killed, how could Liu Jiyu send troops to help Xuande Gong again?

Ji Chang, did you say our choice, is it wrong? ”

Ma Liang also fell silent!

Pang Tong put his heart into him, and he was naturally very happy. But there are some things that Pang Tong can say, but he Ma Jichang can't...... Yes, the situation is changing too quickly, and it will change again before they even have time to make countermeasures.

In such a situation, Ma Liang doesn't know what the future will be...... (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
