Chapter 683: Xiangyang Break (II)
Many generals immediately thought of the letter of persuasion in the city that day, and there were not a few soldiers who were loyal to Liu Bei, and they were still struggling to support, but there were not a few soldiers who were on the sidelines.
The pressure suddenly lightened, and Zhou Tai led the soldiers to kill Liu Beijun with a brutal attitude.
With the entry of heavy infantry into the city and more and more Xiliang troops breaking into the city, Liu Bei's face became more and more ugly, the city was in a state of chaos at this time, the family's rebellion was cleaned up on the surface, in fact, there were very few private soldiers who entered the rebellion, they were waiting for the Xiliang army to enter the city, thus giving Liu Bei a fatal blow.
Zhang Fei said loudly: "Big brother, retreat quickly, don't stay for a long time." ”
Liu Bei at this moment, his heart is like ashes, he has been running around for many years, it seems that the whole world has no place to stay, and he can't pull down that face when he takes refuge in Cao Cao, it can be said that in the future, the whole world will lose his qualification to compete for hegemony, and the restoration of the Han Dynasty will become an empty word.
The heavy cavalry entered the city, their mission was to quickly control all the six gates of Xiangyang, not to let an enemy escape, Huang Zhong's purpose was very simple, that is, to wipe out Liu Bei and the officials of Xiangyang, and completely wipe out Liu Bei's power in Xiangyang.
After a night of fighting, the people who got up early saw shocking bloodstains and corpses, and severed arms and stumps could be seen everywhere.
"General, Liu Bei was not found."
Hearing such news, Huang Zhong's expression was not so good-looking, and he raided Xiangyang, and at this time, the six city gates were all strictly guarded, but Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei, and Zhang Fei were gone.
"Keep searching, make sure you find the three people." Huang Zhongdao.
"General, the soldiers are not very familiar with Xiangyang, so it is better to mobilize the people." Guo Jia suggested.
After the Xiliang army entered the city, it did not disturb the people, but began to restore normal order in the city, and at the same time, fast horses, along the streets, galloped, while shouting, "Catch Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei, a thousand gold, and a reward of 100 gold for those who provide information." ”
The poor people have never seen a hundred gold and a thousand gold in their lives, but Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang don't know who they are.
"Zhang Fei?" One of the people muttered, "Could it be General Zhang San?" ”
Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei rarely show up among the people, but Zhang Fei knows the people, the figure who is five big and three thick, and has a voice like a gong, gives people a deep impression.
After learning that it was the Xiliang Army that entered the city, many people were relieved a lot, and they already knew some of the policies of the Xiliang Army, even if Liu Bei was benevolent and righteous in Xiangyang and even Jingzhou, it was difficult to change the fact that their hearts were inclined to the Xiliang Army.
Under the vigorous search of the people and soldiers, one of the people provided Zhang Fei's deeds, and after sacrificing more than a dozen soldiers, this peerless general in Liu Bei's hands also became a prisoner.
Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, who were with Zhang Fei, were not spared.
After hearing the news that the three people were arrested, Huang Zhong breathed a long sigh of relief, with three people in his hands, Jingzhou was at his fingertips, and he only needed an order to easily get one city after another.
Because the city gate of Xiangyang is closed, the city is still a tall tree Liu Beijun banner, and from an outsider's point of view, Xiangyang still belongs to Liu Bei.
The news of the capture of the servants still reached the ears of the other guards, and unexpectedly, the guards in other places learned that it was the Xiliang army that came, and they did not resist, and after the Xiliang army said the conditions, they opened the city gate very calmly.
Jingzhou, except for Nanjun, all fell into the hands of the Xiliang army, and even Liu Bei, a generation of heroes, became prisoners.
Under the persuasion of Cai Mao, Liu Cong chose to surrender, and like Liu Zhang's treatment, he went to Luoyang to live in peace, which is more about surveillance, and compared with Liu Zhang, this Liu Cong is less harmful.
What's more, there is also the relationship between Cai Mao, Jia Rong is not afraid that Liu Cong will cause trouble.
Seeing the imperial palace in Xiangyang City, Huang Zhong pouted dissatisfiedly and said, "It can still be called a palace like this." ”
The imperial palace of Xiangyang, compared to Luoyang, is very simple, and even outside the palace, there is no moat, which is why the Xiliang army was able to quickly pacify the entire city.
Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang Zhang Fei were temporarily detained in the city, strictly guarded by soldiers.
Losing Xiangyang and becoming a prisoner, Liu Bei became a lot older overnight, and his previous ambitions will also be accompanied by this captive to become Yunyan, he understands Jia Rong's methods, and will definitely not give him any chance to turn over.
Guan Yu was completely furious, regardless of Zhou Cang's dissuasion, led the only 20,000 soldiers left in the city, coming in the direction of Xiangyang, no matter how much the price was paid, he had to bring Zhang Fei and Liu Bei out, so many years, the three of them lived and died together, how many ups and downs they have gone through, even if they die, they have to die together, since following Liu Bei to the present, Guan Yu has never regretted it, and he does not think that Liu Bei is not worthy of being a big brother or anything like that, it can be described as conscientious, no matter how Liu Bei chooses, he will never give up.
As soon as Guan Yu left the city, he was targeted by Jiang Yu again, and now Jingzhou almost belongs to the Liang Kingdom, and Guan Yu is a diehard, and it is a great trouble to guard Nanjun, and when he goes out of the city, he will avoid a lot of means.
The furious Guan Yu recklessly led the soldiers to kill the cavalry, until they were covered in blood, and there were few soldiers left, looking up to the sky and yelling, hundreds of soldiers lowered their heads, and before the battle, many soldiers chose to flee and follow Guan Yu's side, which has made them unable to see any hope.
With the defeat of Guan Yu and the capture of Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang, Jingzhou was completely pacified.
In the palace of Liangguo, hundreds of civil and military officials sang praises and were full of joy.
Jia Rong was in a good mood, rewarded the soldiers who attacked Jingzhou with a lot of money, and the officials who governed the local area were quickly put in place.
The Cai family moved to Luoyang, in the city, Jia Rong prepared a mansion for them, Cai Mao's current identity is a relative of the emperor, naturally not shabby, and Cai Mao is also a representative of Jingzhou, the original defection of the Kuai family and the counterattack of many families at a critical moment are the factors that aggravate Liu Bei's defeat.
Seeing Zhuge Liang who was locked up in a small black room, Jia Rong's heart was extremely happy, and he resisted the urge to laugh.
"Mr. Kong Ming, I've heard of the name for a long time." Jia Rong said.
"Hehe, Jia Rong, you are just a rebel of the Han Dynasty, and you don't feel ashamed in the face of the world." Zhuge Liang fought back without hesitation.
"Shame in the face of the world? Han Dynasty rebellion? Jia Rong said with a smile: "Since ancient times, the successful is the king and the loser is the coward, the Qin State has no virtue, and the heroes of the world have risen up, how could Liu Bang not get the world of the Qin State, was he not a courtier of the Qin State before?" ”
"As long as the people can live a stable life, what bullshit royal family, it's just an empty word, the stability of the world is the trend of the times, with Mr. Kong Ming's talent, don't you even understand this, I have treated the people well since the beginning of the army, so that I have elite soldiers, invincible, invincible, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, the king is the boat, the people are the water, and the water can carry the boat and overturn the boat."
"People are inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than Hongmao, for the sake of the righteousness in the mouth, is to ignore, Mr. Kong Ming is only eight buckets high, when to think about doing something for the people, when to figure it out, let the soldiers at the door pass the word." Jia Rong left this sentence and walked out.
After Zhuge Liang heard Jia Rong's words just now, he felt extremely ridiculous, and after thinking about it carefully, he found that the reason why the Han Dynasty destroyed the four-hundred-year-old foundation so quickly was because of the people, and how similar it was to the Qin Dynasty back then.
"Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat", Zhuge Liang felt for the first time that this sentence was so philosophical.
Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, Jia Rong planned to persuade them at all, these two people are out-and-out diehards, and letting them go is to add trouble to themselves.
In the third year of Kaiyuan, God did not seem to cooperate so much, there was a rare drought, many places had no harvest, and the affected places opened warehouses for disaster relief, even businessmen, also donated a lot of money and grain, and then experienced a snow disaster, many people in Liangzhou and Zhou had no place to live because of the collapse of their houses, and they were also solved in time.
Relatively speaking, Cao Jun is not so stable under the rule, a Cao Cao does not have enough strength to rescue the people, at this time he has Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou and Xuzhou in his hands, but to support nearly 300,000 troops, the army is huge, so he has to increase taxes, and the disaster year is not spared, even if there is the support of the Tuntian army, the situation can not be recovered, fortunately, the disaster situation in Liangguo is more serious, so that Cao Jun has a little respite.
Many people under Cao's rule heard that the policy of Liangguo was good, and they went one after another, but they were left behind by Cao Cao's tyrannical means, without the support of the people, it was impossible to feed the huge army, and the soldiers lost on the battlefield could not be replenished in time.
Cao Cao was busy with a lot of help, even though there were many strategists in his hands to help, it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, so she could only blindly send soldiers to suppress it.
Cao Cao also learned from the policy of Liangguo, and proposed to let the businessmen raise donations, looking at the poor rice and grain that came up from the donations, Cao Cao was furious, could it be that what Liangguo could do was so difficult for him to come here.
In the year of the disaster, the Liang State conscripted troops, and in just one year, the number of troops expanded to 400,000, this growth rate was very amazing, before all the soldiers of the Liang State were added together, but only more than 200,000, and the number of troops increased by more than 100,000 in a year, such a thing has no precedent among the princes.
Unlike the soldiers of the princes, 400,000 soldiers and horses, 300,000 are standing troops, as long as there is a war, they can go to the battlefield at any time, and 100,000 of them are stationed in Luoyang to guard the safety of the Beijing division.
Zhuge Liang surrendered, after reading the military system of the Western Liang Army and the official system and policies of the Liang State sent by Jia Rong, Zhuge Liang thought about it for three whole days, and finally chose to surrender, starting from a small county order.
