Liu Pan led more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, left Jiangling, and went north to reject Li Dian. Two days later, it approached Dangyang, but I saw that Jing Mountain was majestic, the remaining veins were long, the road was dangerous and narrow, and there were many swamps next to it - although it was winter, it was not yet frozen, and it was difficult for pedestrians. Liu Pan has been stationed in Jiangling for many years, assisting Huang Zu to the east to control the Sun clan, and to the south to monitor the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River. ”

The little colonel replied: "It's for Dangyang Nagasaka." ”

There was a staff officer who read a lot and interjected: "When Yang Changsaka, or the name is Yang Ban." The ancient cloud dream is wider than today, the north end is here, although the water recedes today, the mire still exists, and it is inconvenient for the army to march. ”

Liu Pan said that since this is the case, then let's speed up and rush to Dangyang City as soon as possible. If Li Dian did not arrive, he would simply take Dangyang City first to facilitate defense; If it has arrived, we will go down to Jingshan with our backs and deal with it. However, before the words fell, the order was not passed down, and suddenly drums sounded on all sides, and then the ambush soldiers came out!

It turned out that Li Dian threw the army behind, personally led 3,000 elites to rush forward, and had already entered Dangyang County one day in advance, and then used Zhuge Liang's strategy to set up an ambush in Changsaka and attack Liu Pan by surprise. Liu Pan's troops encountered the enemy in a hurry, and they couldn't help but make a mess, although the troops were strong, they were confined to the swamps, and it was difficult to deploy quickly. Li pawn rushed into battle first, straight to take Liu Pan, Liu Pan rode his horse to meet him, the battle was not three, one was not strong, the other was more defeated, in desperation, he had to turn the horse's head and flee in the wilderness.

When he withdrew from seven or eight miles of land, he reined in the defeat, and he actually broke more than one stop in ten stops. Liu Pan saw that his morale had plummeted, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to fight again, so he ordered to retreat to Jiangling. Hold on to it. But he hasn't arrived at Gangneung Castle yet. There is news here. Wen Ping actually launched a mutiny, exiled Liu Qi, and renamed Liu Cong as the lord of Jingzhou!

Under the bad news, the army scattered overnight, and there were only more than 200 people left around Liu Pan. He originally planned to bypass Jiangling and flee to Jiangnan, but on the way, he was killed by Xiaoxiao and dedicated his head to Liu Cong.

On the other hand, the Jingzhou army was led by the general Wang Wei. Going to Jiangnan to block the ban, the situation is similar. However, the two armies had just confronted each other, and before they had made contact, the news of the mutiny in the rear arrived, and Wang Wei's army scattered and fled, and was chased by Cao's army, ripped off his horse, and became a prisoner.

So Li Dian and Zhuge Liang entered Jiangling City together and met Liu Cong. Immediately, Li Dian took over the defense of Jiangling City and ordered Wen Ping to lead the army to the south. went to appease the Jiangnan region of Nanjun, and Zhuge Liang continued to go south. In order to recruit the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River.

As for where did Liu Qi go? No one cared......

Cao Cao lived in Luoyang, on the one hand, he continued to gather people and horses, prepare grain, and on the other hand, waited for news from the direction of Jingzhou, until Li Dian received the picture book presented by Zhao Yan, and immediately asked Zhao Yan to send the horse to Luoyang, Cao Cao was overjoyed: "Jingzhou is fixed!" "Leave Luoyang with confidence and go west to Guanzhong.

Besides, when the news of Jiangling's change of ownership reached Wuxia, Guan Yu and Gan Ning were all shocked, and all the generals planned to withdraw, but Gan Ning resolutely refused to allow it, saying: "We are ordered by the lord to go east to scratch the side of the Cao family, and it is against the order to retreat without engaging in battle." Regardless of whether he was the Cao Army or the Jingzhou Army, he can be killed along the river, with the whole Lord's life! ”

Guan Yu also said: "If we retreat, Cao Jun can concentrate on the west, and the lord wants to take Guanzhong, it is difficult!" If you want to retreat, you will retreat, and I will move forward with Xingba, that is, one more enemy, and I will also worry about the main centimeter! ”

The generals said in their hearts that this is not nonsense, you are the main general, Gan Ning is the deputy general, you refuse to withdraw the troops, where do we dare to go by ourselves? Don't have a head? I had to comply. So Guan Yu transferred the ships, rewarded the three armies, and went straight to Zigui to kill.

was stopped by Huang Zhong. At this time, Fu Xun had already arrived in Zigui, and announced Liu Cong's order, Huang Zhong asked: "Where is the lord?" Fu Xun replied with a smile: "Seeing that in Jiangling City, the one who gives the order is the one." Huang Zhong said that I didn't ask Liu Cong, I asked Liu Qi: "Is it harmful?" Fu Xun waved his hand: "It's all the blood of the ancestors, how can you bear it?" Chase them away. Now Zhao Boran (Zhao Yan) has gone north with the map, Jingzhou has returned to the Han Dynasty, and Han Sheng wants to die for Liu Qi, who died in the name of the Han thief? ”

The big hat of the "Han thief" was about to come up, and Huang Zhong's shoulders were narrow, so he really didn't dare to carry it. He is a pure martial artist, he only knows how to obey the orders of his superiors, and he does not have his own political concepts and camp judgments, so since Jiangling has changed his master, and he is also the son of Liu Biao, then okay, I will follow.

So Fu Xun and Ma Liang assisted Huang Zhong to strengthen the city defense and defend the Yizhou army. As soon as Guan Yu saw that the other party was waiting for him, he knew that this battle was not a big chance of winning, so he called the enemy general to answer before the battle. Huang Zhong galloped out, Guan Yu took a look, hey, I know.

Thinking that Cao Cao attacked Jingzhou back then, Guan Yu came to help on the order of Liu Bei, and most of the generals in Jingzhou had face-to-face, but this person has always been proud, too lazy to interact with others, and is used to being cold. So he knows Huang Zhong, but as for Huang Zhong's skills, what words and where he is, he doesn't know at all.

Looking at this Huang Zhong's honest face, and even a little wooden, Guan Yu couldn't help but pout, and shouted: "Today, on the orders of my lord, I came to aid Jiangling, why did you stop the soldiers?" Huang Zhong immediately hugged his fists: "General Guan Rongyu, now Jiangling has changed hands, to return to the imperial court, there is no need to rescue, please return to Yizhou immediately, in order to thank Liu Zhijun." Guan Yu sneered: "What is the imperial court? Cao Cao hijacked the lord to take power, and the real man was also a thief! You are now a party, and you want to be a thief?! ”

Huang Zhongxin said that I heard the "Han thief" twice a day today, and he was fortunate to have such a big hat frequently buckled...... Compared to Cao Cao and Liu Bei, I'm just a small person, I can't afford such a big hat! He really didn't have the talent to argue, so he simply ignored Guan Yu's words, and only said: "Please retreat general, if you want to go east, you will be loyal to your duties, and you have to block each other." ”

Guan Yu said that it might as well be like this - "Jingyi Erzhou, originally a relative and friend, I am ordered by the Lord, I must go east, but I don't want to harm my friends." Now you can make the sergeant retreat, you and I will fight before the battle, if you win, I will retreat, if you lose, please let the way open. ”

Huang Zhongxin said you are funny, right? War is a major national event, how can it be decided by military generals alone? Just as he was about to refuse, he saw Guan Yu wave his hand, and the Yizhou army had already begun to retreat in a whole column. His heart moved, and he secretly heard that Guan Yunchang was a general under Liu Bei, and he was not brave enough in the Yizhou army, so it was rare to have a chance to compete with him today, so it was better to push the boat down the river, I should do it - anyway, following Liu Cong is also forced by the form, if I really can't beat Guan Yu, I will let them go and have something to say.

So he also ordered his subordinates to retreat, and he came to fight Guan Yu. The two generals were each heroic, and the horses circled, and in an instant, they exchanged three or five rounds in a row, and they admired each other. However, after ten rounds of killing, Huang Zhong was a little overwhelmed - not that his martial arts were not as good as Guan Yu (maybe a little worse, the difference between 95 and 99), but that the horsepower was insufficient.

On the one hand, Guan Yu is a native of Hedong, northerners are used to riding horses, and Huang Zhongjiu is in Jingzhou, and his equestrian skills are more than a step behind; The second is Guan Yu's height and weight, ordinary war horses can't afford to carry them, what he is riding now is a Liangzhou Liangji brought by Ma Chao Nantou Liu Bei, Guan Yu looked at the hot eyes, Ma Chao gave it to him, and Huang Zhong's mount is just an ordinary war horse. Therefore, if the horse is not strong, the skills of the generals will inevitably be discounted, and if they take a few more rounds, the gap between the two will become wider and wider.

If this is really inferior to martial arts, Huang Zhong will admit it, because of the reason of the mount, he is really difficult to let go. So after another round, he stopped the war horse and waved at Guan Yu: "General Guan is a good horse!" "What did Guan Yu hear? You don't praise my martial arts, but my horses? This is mocking me for taking advantage of you. Guan Yunchang was originally a proud person, and immediately said: "Do you dare to fight with a certain step? ”

Huang Zhong arched his hand and said: "I don't dare to ask for ears." So the two generals threw away their lances, jumped off their horses, and drew their swords to fight. But this time, it was Huang Zhong's turn to gain the upper hand - Huang Zhong's ring head knife was a lot longer than an ordinary knife, full of five feet and two inches (more than one meter two), purely made of fine iron, extremely sharp, while Guan Yu's knife was an ordinary road goods.

In the original history, Tao Hongjing of the Southern Dynasty made "Ancient and Modern Sword Records", which once recorded: "Huang Zhong, the first lord of the Han Dynasty Dingnan County got a knife, red as blood, and hit the Xiahou army in Hanzhong, in one day, hundreds of blades." "With the iron casting technology at that time, a knife could kill more than 100 people without scrapping, which is indeed a divine weapon. It's hard to say whether it's the knife that Huang Zhong is making at the moment, but Huang Zhong is good at swordsmanship, and it is an indisputable fact that he collects good knives everywhere.

So Guan Yu gradually fell behind. Gan Ning saw it in the distance, and his heart was not angry, so he secretly held the bow in his hand, and suddenly an arrow hit Huang Zhong's shoulder socket. Huang Zhong said "oops", turned around and ran. Guan Yu didn't chase after him, but returned to his own position to blame Gan Ning. Gan Ning glared at him: "Entrusted by the lord, the affairs of the country, the general thinks it is child's play?" If you are defeated by this old revolution now, will you really retreat?! ”

Guan Yu had nothing to say, so he had to retreat, rest for one night, and attack Huang Zhong's array again the next day. Huang Zhong refused to fight again, but relied on the three newly built forts outside the city of Zigui and the water village on the river, Guan Yu and Ganning advanced by land and water, and attacked for five days in a row, but they could not be defeated.

On this side, Guan Yu couldn't beat Zigui City, and Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others led the army through the narrow roads in the mountains, and Cao General Gao Ran stopped Yu Jing County, and he couldn't break through either. Xiahou Dannai led a large army to drive straight in, successively conquered Gucheng, Wucheng and other counties, and went around to the south of Taihu Lake, echoing Wei Yanyao on the sea, basically cutting off the connection between Wu and Hui. Sun Quan sat in the city of sorrow, on the one hand, he transferred troops to resist, and on the other hand, he sent envoys to Cao's camp to sue for peace. Xiahoudun put forward the conditions, which was the eight-character mantra of "southerners return to the south, northerners return to the north" given by Xun.

Sun Quanxin said that this is a terrible trap, most of the people left by my father are Huaisi people, and most of the people left by my brother are people from Lujiang and Jiujiang in Jiangbei. If all the northerners are gone, will the southerners still listen to me? I'm left with a bare-rod commander, even if I have to keep the head, so what's the point?

was wandering to himself, and suddenly the door came to report: "General Zhou Youping is here!" (To be continued......) R1292
