Chapter 697: Black Heart

Qin Feng, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, raised more than 400,000 troops, known as 800,000 troops, and marched south.

The world was shaken.

Cao Cao, the prince of the northwest, said in his heart that it was finally the turn of others to be unlucky, so he went through the army and accumulated the strength to counterattack the Central Plains.

Lu Bu of Hanzhong joined the Wudoumi Sect, and after settling down, he was not honest, and he used Chen Gong's strategy to attack the county town of Hanzhong when Zhang Lu went out to preach, and Hanzhong came into his hands.

And Qin Feng's southern expedition, Sun Ce's secondary attack, the Han clan relatives who controlled the south were all broken.

Zhuge Liang entered Shu, and with his three-inch incorruptible tongue, he said that Liu Zhang mobilized 300,000 troops in Shu to aid Jingzhou.

Originally, Liu Zhang didn't want to send troops, but Zhuge Liang secretly colluded with Meng Da, Zhang Song, Wu Yi, Li Yan and others to persuade him. Tricking Liu Zhang to raise troops to repel Qin Zijin is the lord of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Guangwu's general merits, which Liu Zhang could not resist.

In addition, after Zhang Lu in Hanzhong was driven out by Lu Bu, Hanzhong was unstable, Liu Zhang was temporarily free of enemies, and Liu Biao in Jingzhou was destroyed, and he was the next unlucky one, so he sent troops.

It is worth mentioning that before Liu Zhang sent out the army, the loyal ministers Huang Quan, Li Hui, and Wang Lei saw the clues, and said that they must have been killed by Liu Bei. How could Liu Zhang be bent on the lord of Zhongxing, Wang Ba ate the scales, and put Huang Quan and Li Hui in prison with an iron heart. Wang Ti's words when he died did not have any effect.

These three are Liu Zhang's rare loyal ministers, so half of the loyal ministers in Shuzhong died, and the rest were cold.

This day is the seventh day of the fifth month.

Liu Zhang's 300,000-strong army passed through Fucheng, and the rear army swept 5,000 carts. Loaded with money, grain, and gold silk, it can be seen that Shu is rich. One of the best in the world.

When he came to Dianjiang, Liu Bei also came here. Liu Zhang then ordered the army to be stationed and meet Liu Bei.

In the Shu army village, there is a partial camp.

Zhuge Liang's face was calm, the feather fan shook sharply, and he said quickly: "Lord, you must be decisive when you go here, and you must not hesitate." The second general can kill Liu Zhang, the third general kill Zhang Ren, and General Zang Ba kill Gao Pei. Both of them are Liu Zhang's confidants. All three of them died, and there were Zhang Song, Meng Da, Wu Yi, and Li Yan Neiying, and the lord took out the edict of the Son of Heaven, and Yizhou was at his fingertips. ”

At this time, Liu Bei was nervous. He's been waiting for years, just waiting for today's opportunity. If you can get Shu along the way, it will be different from Xuzhou. Shu is vast and rich, and the borders are all dangerous. Easy to defend and difficult to attack. At the beginning, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, relied on Shu to accumulate strength, thus sweeping the world.

Liu Bei put on his cloak and looked at Zhuge Liang. said: "If you have any gains, it is the work of the military advisor." ”

"My lord, you must be decisive in killing. Certain....... Zhuge Liang kept saying.

Liu Bei unexpectedly showed hesitation again, and said, "That's my brother ...... the same clan." ”

Zhuge Liang was stunned when he heard this. The heart said "Lord, don't pretend here." However, he could not expose it, and bowed. Said: "Lord, for the world of the Han family, for the dawn of the people ......." ”

"For the sake of the people, for the ...... of the Han family, so good!" Liu Bei had a sad and determined expression, and his heart was happy, and he said secretly: "Kill Liu Zhang, Shu Di will be mine, and there will be one of three points in the world!" ”

In the big tent of the Shu army, Liu Zhang sat on the table opposite Liu Bei. On the left are Liu Zhang's important subordinates Zhang Ren, Gao Pei, Li Yan, Zhang Song, Pang Xi, Zhang Yi, Lei Tong, Qin Mi, Leng Bao, Fei Shi, Qin Mi, Wu Lan, Meng Da, and Deng Zhi. It can be said that there are many talents in Shudi, and most of them are good ministers and generals.

However, because Liu Zhang deposed Huang Quan and others, most people's faces were not very good.

On the right, there are Liu Bei's subordinates, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zang Ba, Fan Jiang, and Zhang Da. Although there are very few, there is Zhuge Liang, which is still a bit of a head.

"Brother Xuande, you and I must work together, and my Han family will prosper." Liu Zhang raised his glass.

Liu Bei also raised his glass.

At this time, Zhuge Liang hurriedly used his eyes and said in his heart, "Lord, don't you hurry up and start, kill early and be stable soon."

Liu Bei comprehended, only to see that his originally smiling face changed greatly, and he stood up suddenly.

Liu Zhang was taken aback, and when he looked over, he saw Liu Bei's face full of murderous anger, coupled with the image of only one big ear, so it was not scary, and exclaimed: "Brother, what's wrong with you!" ”

Liu Bei said angrily: "Liu Jiyu, your father and son have been in Shu for almost twenty years. He commanded tens of millions of Han people, and there were millions of soldiers under his command, but he sat back and watched my Han family being troubled by traitors. You father and son, what face is it that is my Han family clan, and what face is my Liu family, guarding the land of Shu? ”

After a burst of accusations, he took out the edict and shouted: "I, Liu Bei, today by the edict of the Son of Heaven, dismiss Liu Zhang's official position as Yizhou Mu, and expel the clan, and behead him!" ”

"Ahh Liu Zhang's whole person was stunned.

His men exclaimed, completely unsure of how to react.

At this time, I saw Guan Yu jump up, holding the green dragon glaive, rushed forward, and chopped it down with a knife.

"Wow!" Liu Zhang barely dodged, but he couldn't dodge, and his chest was split. When he was dying, he reluctantly pointed out: "Liu ...... Xuande, you ...... This scumbag. My Liu family, how come you are such an ungrateful villain...... ”

Liu Bei's face changed, just because this thing was indeed despicable enough. But he immediately thought that he had an edict in his hand, although it was fake, but it was true to bite it. So his face darkened, and he glanced at Guan Yu.

I saw Guan Yu, who was loyal and unparalleled, slashed down with a knife, and cut off Liu Zhang's head.

"Ahh

"Wow!" At the table, Zhang Ren and Gao Pei were completely dumbfounded, and when their consciousness had not returned, they were killed on the spot by Zhang Fei and Zang Ba.

The three died tragically, and the civil and military forces of Yizhou reacted at this time, and generals such as Lei Tong, Wu Lan, and Zhang Yi. Cangchang, Cangchang drew his sword.

However, Meng Da, Zhang Song, Wu Yi, and Li Yan began to preach.

"Liu Zhang's father and son, have been in Shu for 20 years, and they have no kindness to control the people." Zhang Song said.

"It's just that there is no kindness to the people, just sit and watch the traitors cause chaos in the court, and there is no reaction, not a human minister!" Meng Da said.

"Today, there is an edict from the Son of Heaven here. The killing is also reasonable! Wu Yi said.

Li Yan finally said: "In the edict, the Son of Heaven respected Liu Yuanjun as the emperor's uncle. Replaced Liu Zhang as the new Yizhou pastor. We are Hanchen, and we must be edicted by the Son of Heaven. Do your best to assist Uncle Liu. Zhongxing Han Chamber, rescue the Son of Heaven from the hands of the national thief Qin Feng! ”

When the four of them said this, they bowed to the ground together and shouted to the lord.

With these four important officials in Yizhou taking the lead, Liu Zhang is also dead, the edict is in front of him, and the rest of the people have no choice but to submit.

In this regard, Liu Bei immediately sent the edict to all counties in Yizhou, and after the counties learned the news. Seeing that the ministers of the central government have surrendered, who of them dares to resist. As a result, Yizhou fell into the hands of Liu Bei.

Liu Beibing got Yizhou without blood, and in the middle of dancing, he had already regarded Zhuge Liang, who had made a plan, as a celestial. He immediately rewarded Zhuge Liang, gave him the right to rule all things, and reused the officials of Yizhou Guishun.

Liu Bei is indeed more capable than Liu Zhang, and the good ministers and generals of Yizhou began to be used by him.

After three days of revision, Liu Bei commanded 300,000 Shu troops. Descend the river to Jingzhou.

On the other hand.

Liu Zhang died, Liu Bei ruled Yizhou, such a big thing. It was soon discovered by the Shu intelligence guard. Fast horse, fly under Qin Feng's account.

"What?" After Qin Feng got the tip, he could hardly believe it. "Liu Bei got Yizhou, this is ......."

Military advisor Xu Shu was also taken aback. said: "Lord, this Liu Xuande is really ruthless. Kill allies without changing their faces! ”

Qin Fengxin said that the same is true of Liu Bei in later generations, who is benevolent and righteous on the surface, but is actually darker than his wife Cao. Vote for Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao treats him like a brother, but his brother Guan Yu beheaded Yan Liang and Wen Chou, after he got the news, he said on the face that he would bring his brother to vote together, but in fact, he took the opportunity to run away.

also voted for Cao Cao, Cao Cao respected him as a hero, and he was the pastor of Yuzhou, so he conspired with Dong Cheng and others to assassinate him, and killed Cao Cao's generals, Che Xuan and others, and called him Cao Cao.

Later, he voted for Liu Biao, Liu Biao trusted him, and he thought about calculating Liu Biao's foundation. In the end, Liu Zhang was also deceived by Liu Bei and asked him to help in Shu, but he didn't expect to lure the wolf into the house, and finally took away Liu Zhang's foundation.

Later, it was said in the history books that these were all done by Liu Bei's subordinates.

Qin Feng, who has been the lord for many years, doesn't believe it, if Liu Bei, the lord, doesn't agree, will his subordinates dare to do it?

However, at this moment, Liu Bei had already obtained Yizhou and led an army of 300,000 to kill. This force was enough to turn the situation around, so he couldn't help but be anxious, and asked: "Two military divisions, Liu Bei got the soldiers and horses of Yizhou, like a tiger with wings. Shu and Jingzhou are both rich places, with countless money and food, enough to support their army to fight for a long time, how can this be good? ”

Jia Xu pondered for a while and said: "My lord, Jiangling City is wide and dangerous, enough for 400,000 troops to be stationed, and Liu Biao has been in Jingzhou for many years, and he also has enough money and food. If the two armies are combined, it will be difficult for our army to conquer them. Therefore, Liu Bei and Liu Biao should not be allowed to converge, should they divide their troops? ”

Xu Shu also said: "Now that Liu Bei's army has left Yong'an, Ba County, he will definitely go to Jiangling before Yiling." The lord can come to the army in person and go to Yiling to meet Liu Bei. In the field, they are not opponents. ”

Yong'an is the throat road out of Shu into Jingzhou, and Yiling is also the only way to enter Jiangling.

If Liu Bei arrives in Jiangling, Jiangling City will have 400,000 defenders. A tall city with 400,000 soldiers and horses, plenty of food and grass, and some of the best generals and strategists. To attack such a fortified city, in the era of cold weapons, there is nothing more terrible than this.

And in the northwest of Qin Feng's territory, there is a big enemy like Cao Cao, and he can't confront Liu Bei and others in Jingzhou for a long time.

Therefore, the field battle, which is easier to destroy the enemy, became his only option.

So, Qin Feng adopted the construction of the military division. He ordered Gao Shun to be the general, Xu Shu to be the strategist, lead 100,000 troops, and go to Jiangling with Wei Yan, Ma Chao, and Pang De.

In this regard, Qin Feng ordered Li Dian, Zhou Cang and other generals Jingzhou to surrender troops to protect Xiangyang. And he himself led an army of 300,000, with Jia Xu as the military advisor and Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu as the generals. Ma Dai and Ji Ling were the governors and went to Yiling to face Liu Bei.

The famous Battle of Yiling in later generations kicked off in advance. (To be continued......)
