As Pang Tong expected, how could Liu Chuang be stolen?

He's an expert at stealing camps, so he's paying extra attention to that. Zhang Fei took advantage of the night to attack the camp of Changbanpo, but was ambushed by Liu Chuang. Liu Chuang, Cao Zhang, Dian Man, Zhang Ren, and Wen Ping are surrounded by five roads. If it weren't for Chen Zhi's timely rescue, Zhang Fei would be in a desperate situation. But Rao is like this, and Zhang Fei's 3,000 soldiers and horses were also wiped out. Even the white-eared elite soldiers under Chen Zhi also suffered a lot of losses. When the two joined forces and retreated to the Yangqiao camp, Zhang Fei's face was gloomy and he couldn't say a word.

When he came to the big tent of the Chinese army, he saw Pang Tong and bowed down.

"Zhang Fei was reckless, he collided with the military advisor yesterday, and asked the military advisor to forgive him."

This guy has such advantages, a mistake is a mistake, and he will never hide anything.

Pang Tong stepped forward and helped Zhang Fei up.

"Third general, this battle is not your fault, and I am a little careless.

However, although the thieves are not strong enough, they are all elite. He set the Flying Bear Guard and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to Changbanpo, the number of which was less than 10,000, but all of them were able to fight. Now he ordered Yafeng to ride to protect the grain road, and even made all kinds of reinforcements stationed outside Dangyang City as backup, all of which showed that this person was careful. This battle is related to the great cause of the lord. No matter what dissatisfaction the three generals have with me, please put aside your past suspicions and cooperate sincerely. ”

As soon as he spoke, Zhang Fei's face was red.

"Zhang Fei is willing to be sent by the military division."

A big defeat, but it makes the generals unified, which is also a good thing.

Pang Tong immediately ordered an attack on the Han army at Changbanpo. The two sides fought for a whole day on the banks of the Dangyang River, but they were evenly matched.

Seeing Liu Chuang collect his troops. Pang Tong couldn't help but feel anxious.

Although Liu Chuang's soldiers and horses are not many. But the combat effectiveness is amazing. And well-armed.

Defeating it is no easy task. I hope that the winner's side has been prepared, and if he can succeed, he will have a better chance of winning.

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

Pang Tong guessed Liu Bei's mind and waited for Liu Bei to make a move.

However, without waiting for Liu Bei's action, Guo Jia, who was far away in Lujiang, took the lead.

At the end of August of the 11th year of Jian'an, Guo Jia and Zhang Liao gathered 50,000 soldiers and horses. Suddenly launched a fierce attack on Koto. Previously, Chen Wu surrendered and occupied Chungu and Niuzhu, providing two excellent bridgeheads for the Han army. Guo Jia used this as a bridgehead and ordered Zhang Liao to lead Tai Shixiang and Xiao Ling to attack from Spring Valley; Xu Huang was in Niuzhu, supplemented by Chen Wu, and attacked Shicheng. Jiangdong was already panicked, especially when He Qi captured Yixian and cut off the connection between Danyang and Yuzhang, which made Sun Quan panic. Knowing that the Han army had launched an offensive, Sun Quan hurriedly dispatched troops. It's just that. Without waiting for Sun Quan's reinforcements to set off, Xiahou Yuan, who was far away in Guangling, took Xu Chu as the vanguard. Cooperate with the navy to attack across the river.

Sun Jing desperately resisted in Dantu, but the tiger attack was fierce.

The Dantu, who originally thought it was impregnable, was defeated in just a few days.

In this battle, the Han army invested a large number of catapults, and equipped slapping rods on sea ships to throw thunder and fire.

Jiang Qin, the commander of Jiang Cheng, tried to go down the river to rescue the Dantu, but on the way he was attacked by Feng Chi...... The overwhelming thunder and fire exploded on the Jiangdong sea ship, which also caused heavy losses to the Jiangdong naval army. At the same time, Xu Shu dispatched troops on Tanglin Island and ambushed Pan Zhang outside Biling City, causing Pan Zhang to be defeated and leave. Seeing that the Dantu was about to break the city, Sun Jing felt that the general trend had gone, and he killed himself in the government.

When Lu Su led the reinforcements to arrive, the head of Dantu City had already been replaced with the dragon flag of the Han army.

A steady stream of Han troops came across the river from Jiangdu and landed in Dantu...... Seeing this, Lu Su also knew that it was impossible to regain the Dantu. So he simply abandoned Qu'a, led his troops to Jurong, and Jiang Qin's troops were horns of each other, and stubbornly defended Jiangcheng, Jurong and Hushu.

But now, the decline of Jiangdong is irreversible......

After Sun Quan learned that Dantu was lost, he had no intention of rescuing Wuhu.

He ordered Zhou Tai to garrison Danyang, and sent people to defend Liyang, posing for a decisive battle with the Han army. But everyone knows that Sun Quan's doing this reveals his fear. There are even some people who begin to miss Sun Ce. If Sun Ce was the lord of Jiangdong, in the face of such a situation, he would definitely take the initiative to attack, instead of hiding in the turtle shell and defending it. Guard? With the current situation in Jiangdong, can it be held?

"Strategist, why did you stop attacking?"

Just when everyone thought that the Han army would attack Danyang in one go, Guo Jia suddenly ordered to stop the attack.

Zhang Liao couldn't help but feel surprised, and came to Guo Jia's military tent to inquire suspiciously.

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Wen Yuan, this battle will make the world peaceful."

Previously, the battle of Koto was a heavy relationship; But now, Sun Quan is lonely and unable to speak. Next, it is necessary to cooperate with the former general to increase the attack on Yuzhang. I have ordered Miaocai to besiege Jurong, and if I want to come to Lusu's side, I won't support it for too long. General Gan occupied Wu County, and Wu County was within reach. If we break through the Moling, something is wrong. Wait a little longer and wait for the good news. ”

Zhang Liao didn't understand it at first, but gradually, he understood what Guo Jia meant.

This crucial battle to pacify the country must not end in your own hands, and it must be ended first by the lord's side...... If it is carried out too quickly, it will be suspected of being a high-ranking master. When Liu Chuang solves Liu Bei, it is not too late for them to kill Sun Quan again.

Zhang Liao couldn't help but smile when he thought of this.

"I know now why Feng Xiao left Meng Qi in Lujiang."

Guo Jia smiled, got up and said, "Okay, presumably at this time, Meng Qi should also take action!" ”

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

At the beginning of September of the 11th year of Jian'an, the battle of Dangyang was still continuing.

However, as a large number of Han troops entered Jingzhou, the impact of Liu Biao's death gradually disappeared. After discussing with Mrs. Cai, Cai Mao asked Kuai Liang to send an envoy to Wancheng. Although Liu Chuang is not there, Fa Zheng is still there. More importantly, with Xun Yu returning to Luoyang, Xun Chen came to Wancheng from Luoyang. As the Grand Situ, he was fully responsible for the affairs of Jingzhou. After having a conversation with Kuai Liang, Xun Chen assured Kuai Liang. It will never endanger Liu Biao's family. Merely. Liu Cong and Mrs. Cai could not continue to stay in Jingzhou. Instead, they want to move to Luoyang to settle down.

When the time comes, Liu Cong's title should be decided by Liu Chuang, but it will never insult Liu Cong's identity.

For other matters, we will uphold the principle of Jingzhou affairs and Jing people's governance, and try our best to safeguard the interests of the five surnames in Jingzhou.

After Cai Mao received an affirmative reply, he immediately ordered Yi Zhi to invite the Han army to enter Xiangyang. Zhang He led his troops and arrived at Xiangyang City first; Subsequently. Xu Sheng and Li Tong also led their troops into Jingzhou. After Li Tong entered Jingzhou, he immediately marched towards Lulin Mountain to strengthen Huang Zhong's strength.

And Xu Sheng stationed troops in Liqiu and guarded the flanks of Xiangyang.

The chaotic situation in Xiangyang then stabilized. A few days later, Fa Zheng led his troops into Xiangyang City, but he was accompanied by Cao Xing, the general of Zhenwu.

The Han army's intention to unify Jingzhou has been clearly revealed.

At this time, Liu Bei was in Jiangling, and he was also loyal to the news of Wuxi Man.

The old barbarian king of Wuxi gathered 80,000 people of the Wuxi barbarians. Raid on Huya Mountain. He appointed his son, Shamoke, the little king of Wuxi, to be the vanguard. Commanding 30,000 troops, he arrived in Jiangling to support Liu Bei. When Liu Bei heard the news, he was overjoyed. He personally went out of the city to greet him, invited Shamoke into Jiangling City, and set up a banquet to wash the dust and wind for Shamoke and his party.

"Waiting for Xiao Wang, like looking forward to nectar for a long drought.

Now that the state has traitors, for the sake of Jingzhou, although Bei is trying his best to compete with it, he is unable to do so.

I have long heard that Xiao Wang Yongguan is a brave general in the world. Now with the help of Xiao Wang, my confidence has increased greatly, and I also invite Xiao Wang to drink this wine. ”

Nasamoko is nine feet tall and about 210 centimeters tall.

The waist is ten girths, majestic as a lion. This guy has black hair and a golden ring of hair on his forehead. Wearing a chain chain armor, the waist is tied with a lion jade belt. Standing there, majestic and murderous, it makes people feel terrified. It is not unreasonable for Liu Bei to praise Shamoke so much. Don't look at Shamoke's age, that is, the appearance of twenty-four or five, but he does have the reputation of 'the first warrior of Wuximan'. This manpower is infinite, so that a one-foot and two-foot-long iron thistle bone weighs 200 catties.

His weight, coupled with his weapons, is simply not enough for ordinary war horses.

So the old king of Wuxi simply got a cow for Shamoke to use as a mount, although the speed was a little slow, but the power was amazing.

In addition, Shamoko is also good at bows and arrows, and his archery skills are amazing, claiming to be able to penetrate Yang in a hundred steps.

Under his command there were 3,000 barbarians, all of whom were fierce warriors. A few years ago, Shamoke led 800 barbarian soldiers to besiege Wuling, and no one fought in Wuling. In history, this person even shot Gan Ning, which shows that his force is not bad. Liu Bei conspired with Jingnan to buy Wuxi Man, how could he not know the prestige of Shamoke. This time, Wuxi Man was invited to send troops, and Shamoke was the person Liu Bei valued the most.

With Samoko came two more people.

A lion with a wide nose and a wide mouth, with a disheveled head, looks extremely scary.

However, this person's height is almost the same as that of Shamoke, and he is carrying a pair of iron mallets, looking at the weight, it is not inferior to the iron thistle bone in Shamoke's hand.

The other has white teeth and red lips, and is dressed as a Confucian student.

According to Shamoke, this person's name is Ge Jun, who is Xixi invited by the old barbarian king with a lot of money, and he is also Shamoke's advisor. It can be seen that Shamoke has great respect for Ge Jun. And to the ugly-looking young man who is like a wild lion, he is also very polite.

"Ugly is Xiaosheng's nephew, and he was a little stupid because he was frightened when he was a teenager.

Lao Wang invited me to come to Wuling, I really didn't worry about letting Ah Chou stay in my hometown, so I had to take him with me, but I made Xuande Gong smile. ”

Ge Jun spoke fluent Mandarin and couldn't hear what the accent was.

He was quite humble, more polite, and talked extraordinary, which immediately won Liu Bei's favor.

Shamoke said with a smile: "Xuande Gong, don't underestimate the ugly, if you fight before the two armies, I dare to say that there are only a handful of people in this world who can beat others." If I don't have the help of Danxi, I don't dare to say that I am his opponent. If I go down, I will definitely lose in thirty rounds. ”

I have long heard that Shamoko is unruly and never convincing people.

But now he really admires that ugly in every way, which also makes Liu Bei curious.

It's just that his goal is still on Shamoke's body, after all, if he wants to turn things around this time, he must rely on Shamoke's Wuxi barbarians. As for how good Ge Jun and Ah Chou are, Liu Bei doesn't have much energy to win them over now. If you win, it is naturally easy to say, but if you lose...... Anyway, at present, Ge Jun and Ah Chou follow Shamoke. There's no need to run to woo in. On the contrary, it made Shamoko unhappy.

"The main force of the thieves today. was restrained in Dangyang, and he couldn't get out of it for the time being.

And his soldiers and horses entered Xiangyang one after another, and his foothold was not stable. I want to take this opportunity to sneak attack, capture Zhijiang and Linfang, and then arrive at Xiangyang City. ”

After Liu Bei's greetings, he immediately explained his intentions.

Shamoke said: "Xuande Gong just rest assured, before I came, my father told me. I want to obey the command of Xuan Degong. ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.

"With Xiao Wang's help, it will be easy to take Jingzhou."

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

The next day, Liu Bei asked Shamoke to lead his troops to attack.

From Gangneung to Zhijiang, the distance is not too far. Zhijiang Changhao Pu was killed by Liu Chuang before, and there has been no appointed official so far.

In this case, the dragons of Zhijiang are leaderless and in chaos.

Shamoke led 3,000 Wuxi barbarian soldiers, and almost took Zhijiang County without blood. Immediately, it was close to depression.

Liu Bei, it's finally difficult!

When the news came out. Xiangyang suddenly panicked again.

Fortunately, after the Han army entered Xiangyang City, Fa Zheng quickly controlled the situation with the help of the Kuai clan and the Cai clan. Therefore, although Xiangyang is panicked, it has not been chaotic. In this case, Fa Zheng quickly ordered Zhang He to join Zhao Yun and garrison the county to guard against the Wuxi barbarian army.

Dangyang, in the camp of Nagasakapo.

Liu Chuang frowned, flipped through the battle report sent from the front, and his face looked very ugly.

"I never thought that Wuxi Man would send troops at this time, which was a big surprise to me."

He put down the battle report, looked up at the four of them, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that in the short term, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Xiangyang to send reinforcements." ”

When Wen Ping heard this, he showed a worried look.

"Prime Minister, the last general is by no means trying to shake the morale of the army.

However, the current situation is very clear, Liu Bei wants Pang Tong to drag the prime minister here, and then attack Xiangyang. The battle of Dangyang is meaningless. Our troops are insufficient, although the prime minister's troops are all brave soldiers, but the rebels are attacking fiercely, and the soldiers are suffering heavy casualties. If it goes on like this, I'm afraid it won't last long, so why not take a step back, retreat to the county, and then try to fight with it? ”

Liu Chuang closed his eyes and did not speak.

After a long time, he sighed softly, shook his head and said, "What Zhongye said is indeed reasonable.

It's just that the current situation is no longer like you can retreat if I want to. That Pang Tong will never let us get out, and retreat at this time, for fear that it will lead to a rout. Now I have ordered people to be stationed in Xiangyang, but for the people of Jingzhou, it is not enough to ensure their safety. If not, how can there be such a panic? At this time, if there is another rout, it will inevitably make the situation in Jingzhou more complicated. ”

"What then?"

Wen Ping couldn't help but show anxiety.

Liu Chuang glanced at him and then at Zhang Ren.

"Righteousness, what do you think?"

Zhang Ren pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and smiled: "Just by the Prime Minister's orders." ”

"Oh?"

"Although Ren is often in Xichuan, he has heard of the prime minister's name for a long time.

Every time the prime minister fights, he moves after the plan, and there is no shortage of wise and resourceful people around him. This time, the prime minister insisted on not retreating, and if he wanted to fight a decisive battle with the rebels in Dangyang, he must have deep meaning. I think the reason why the prime minister has not made a counterattack so far is not because he has not planned, but because the time has not yet come. ”

Liu Chuang also smiled when he heard this.

"But I don't know when?"

"This is under the control of the prime minister, and no one dares to specialize in it."

Zhang Ren's words caused Liu Chuang to laugh.

He turned his head and looked at Wen Ping, only to see Wen Ping's face flushed.

"Zhongye doesn't have to be like this, the so-called care is chaotic...... Righteousness is on the outside, so it can be seen clearly. Zhongye is a native of Jingzhou, and he cares too much about the safety of Jingzhou, so he messes up. Let's wait and see, I believe that the time will come soon, that is, when we wait for a counterattack.

By the way, Ziwen, Gongmiao, is there any news? ”

Cao Zhang stepped forward and bowed down and said, "Prime Minister, Gongmiao has not heard any news so far......

"Well, just wait and see!"

With that, Liu Chuang closed his eyes.

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

In mid-September, the weather gradually cooled.

After Liu Bei captured Zhijiang, he took advantage of the victory to pursue and capture Linfang.

Fortunately, the Han army had already taken precautions, and Zhang He and Zhao Yun led their troops to garrison the county, which also blocked the offensive of the rebels. Liu Bei saw that the progress of the war was unfavorable, and he couldn't help but be a little anxious. So, on the one hand, he sent people to Dangyang to let Pang Tong continue to strengthen the offensive, and on the other hand, he also decided to go to Linfu in person.

"Mr. Ziheng!"

During this time, Liu Bei often communicated with Ge Jun and praised Ge Jun's talent.

He took Ge Jun's hand and said, "This time I will prepare for the battle in person, and the general will ask Mr. ...... If this battle is successful, Jingzhou will be owned by you and me. I know that Mr. has great talents, and when he is ready to win, he will definitely listen to his teachings again, and I will ask Mr. not to shirk when the time comes. ”

Ge Jun listened to it and gladly accepted the order.

However, just when Liu Bei left Jiangling and arrived in Zhijiang, he got bad news.

Xichuan Liu Zhang, ordered Bajun Taishou Yan Yan to be the vanguard officer, since Yufu, that is, the later generations of Fengjie sent troops to capture Wuxian, and the soldiers were pointed to Zigui. And Liu Zhang's dispatch of troops to win the banner this time is also to avenge Liu Biao. You must know that Liu Biao and Liu Zhang have a good relationship, and the relationship between Xichuan and Jingzhou is also extremely close. Even including Liu Zhang himself, his ancestral home is Jingling County, Jiangxia County, Jingzhou......

Although most of Liu Zhang's clansmen went to Xichuan with Liu Zhang, some of them still stayed in Jingling.

After Liu Biao became the ruler of Jingzhou, he took great care of Liu Zhang's people. Now that Liu Biao has been killed, it is reasonable for Liu Zhang to send troops in public and private.

If in the past, Liu Bei would never have put Liu Zhang in his eyes.

Can ...... now In desperation, Liu Bei ordered the old king of Wuxi to send troops from Huya Mountain and garrison troops to block the Xichuan soldiers.

But in this way, the old king of Wuxi could not give Liu Bei support. Liu Bei was in Zhijiang and suddenly fell into a dilemma.

Advance or retreat?

Liu Bei didn't know what to do.

Just when he was feeling embarrassed, he suddenly heard footsteps outside the big tent, and a young man ran in in a panic, "Father, something happened!" ”

The person who came was Liu Bei's son Liu Feng.

Liu Bei hurriedly asked, "What happened?" ”

"I just got the news that the Han army, with Ma Chao and Ma Dai as the vanguard, crossed the river from Xunyang and captured Xiapheasant."

"What?"

Liu Bei was shocked when he heard this, "The pheasant is heavily guarded, how can the Han army cross the river?" ”

"It is said that the Jiangxia Huang clan colluded with the Han army to assist Ma Chao in crossing the river and capture the ...... of Xiapheasant"

Liu Bei sat on the big chair with his buttocks, stunned!

Jiangxia Huang's? (To be continued......)
