Chapter 360: Resentment Falls on Fengpo
Liu Bei turned his face and didn't recognize anyone, and tore his face with Liu Zhang, and the two armies fought each other. Liu Zhang's side also has a Fazheng, which is also Liu Bei's internal response in Yizhou, as long as Liu Zhang has trouble there, he will immediately send someone to inform Liu Bei.
Liu Bei's strategist Pang Tong, every time he gave Liu Bei a strategy, it was fierce and vicious, which made Liu Bei, who has always emphasized benevolence, righteousness and morality, and wanted to turn enemies into friends, very unhappy.
Pang Tong asked Huang Zhong and Zhuo Ying to lead their troops to defeat or surrender the small force near Jiameng Pass, and at the same time, Liu Bei kidnapped the families of the officers and soldiers of Baishui and took them as hostages, and the army advanced all the way to Fucheng.
Yang Huai and Gao Pei, the overseers of Baishui, knew that their families were in Liu Bei's hands, and they were eager to break Liu Bei's body into ten thousand pieces, and they wanted to assassinate Liu Bei on Liu Zhang's secret order. In fact, Qian Tong's sister Qian Xiaofei had already known about their conspiracy, and Feige sent a message to inform Qian Tong.
So Yang Huai and Gao Pei each hid a sharp short knife, took two hundred elite soldiers, led the sheep and carried the wine, and soon arrived in front of Liu Bei's Chinese army camp. The two comforted themselves outside the camp and said: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, don't go into the tiger's den to get the tiger." ”
Seeing the silence in the camp, he thought that Liu Bei must not know the purpose of their trip, and he didn't make any preparations, so the two of them didn't shout out happily - Liu Xuande, your death date has arrived today! As everyone knows, an invisible net has been spread, just waiting for them to throw themselves into the net.
The two turned over and got off the horse, only to see Liu Bei and Pang Tong sitting and chatting in the tent. When Liu Bei saw the sudden arrival of the two, he pretended to be very surprised: "Why did the two generals come here?" ”
The two let their guard down.
Yang Huai said: "I heard that Uncle Huang is back from afar, and he has a special gift. ”
So Yang Huai asked the soldiers to carry dozens of jars of good wine into the camp tent, and invited Liu Bei and others to enjoy it together, Qian Tong glanced in front of Liu Bei, signaling that Liu Bei and the two were not good.
Liu Bei didn't drink immediately, and said pretendedly: "It's not easy for the two generals to guard the pass, so you should drink this cup first." ”
The two of them couldn't excuse themselves, so they picked up the cup and drank it all: "Uncle Huang, please!" ”
Liu Bei picked up the wine glass and wanted to drink, but Qian Tong was afraid that the wine was poisonous, so his eyes asked him not to drink it, so Liu Bei put down the wine glass and said: "I want to discuss secret matters with the two generals, please avoid the idle people."
Yang Huai and Gao Pei didn't know what the plan was, so they said to the men who came with them, "You all retreat for me." So Yang and Gao's 200 personal soldiers were all driven out of the Chinese army by Qian Tong and others. Without his subordinates, the two of them would be meat on the chopping board.
Liu Bei shouted: "Take down the two of you left and right!"
Liu Feng and Guan Ping, who had already hidden behind the tent, immediately jumped out and prepared to arrest the two. Yang and Gao didn't know what was going on, so they were in a hurry and prepared to fight back, and after a few rounds, Liu Feng and Guan Ping defeated them and firmly controlled them, and the two couldn't move.
Xuande scolded and said: "Liu Zhang and I are like brothers, why do you sow discord, and then we kill each other?"
Pang Tong shouted: "Search for me!" Liu Feng and Guan Ping quickly searched for a short knife with cold light on their bodies.
Liu Bei saw that Yang Huai and Gao Pei were famous generals in Shu, and they were also their masters, and wanted to recruit them for their own use, so he moved his compassion and didn't want to kill them: "The two of them have their own hardships, and they have to do it, and they didn't hurt my ......" and was about to let them go.
was so angry that Pang Tong's face changed: "Lord, although the two of them have not made a move, but the evil intentions have risen, they can't be merciful, push them out and cut them for me!"
"No!" Qian Tong lifted his Zhuxian Demon Halberd, and with two, he cut off the heads of Yang Huai and Gao Pei in front of the tent, and blood splattered all over the ground.
"Take everything out there!" Pang Tong gave the order again, and Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, who were ambushed outside the tent, heard the order and immediately captured all the 200 soldiers who came with them alive.
Liu Bei put the two hundred into the account and gave each of them a glass of wine to suppress the shock. Liu Bei said to them: "Yang Huai and Gao Pei provoked the relationship between our brothers, and hid a sharp blade to assassinate, which is really bold, and has been cut down by me." You are not guilty. And they were spared the death penalty.
These subordinates hurriedly knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to Liu Bei: "Thank you Uncle Huang for not killing." ”
Pang Tong said: "Tonight, I want you to lead the way and lead our army to capture the Fucheng checkpoint, and there will be many rewards." Everyone nodded in agreement one by one, but in fact, their hearts were still pounding.
That night, Qian Tong waited for the 200 people under Gao and Yang to arrive at the pass, and said according to the instructions in advance: "The two generals have returned with urgent business, open the city gate quickly." ”
"It's all too familiar." The soldiers in the city knew that it was their own people, and they did not raise torches to verify it, and immediately opened the city gates.
The two hundred soldiers who surrendered to Liu Bei swarmed in, and Qian Tong led the army to rush in. The soldiers in the city realized that something was wrong and tried to close the city gates, but it was too late.
The Shu soldiers in the city knew that they would definitely die if they resisted, so they had no choice but to surrender. In this way, the knife is not bloody, and Liu Bei won Fucheng.
Liu Bei couldn't close his mouth with a smile, hehe, hehe, hehe, and gave a lot of copper to each of the 200 soldiers who led the way, and then divided the troops to guard Fucheng before and after.
The next day, Liu Bei held a banquet in the Fucheng Mansion. Liu Zhen, Leng Bao, Zhang Ren, Deng Xian and others led troops to attack Fu County, but they were repelled by Liu Bei's men, and they also killed Leng Bao, which can be described as a succession of victories.
One day, Xuande brought wine and Pang Tong to drink, and they were enjoying themselves.
"My lord, there will be something urgent to tell you at the end!" Qian Tong strode in with a chicken feather letter.
"What's the matter? Panicked. Liu Bei's face immediately darkened, "It's really disappointing, and it's not peaceful to drink a drink!" ”
"Jingzhou Express!"
"Read!"
It turned out that Zhuge Liang knew that Liu Bei had captured Fucheng, and sent a letter overnight to persuade Liu Bei to withdraw from the army. Kong Ming said that he calculated that Gangxing was in the west, and Taibai was in the city, which would be unfavorable to the commander-in-chief, and something big would happen.
After Liu Bei heard it, he wanted to go back to Jingzhou. Pang Tong was dumbfounded: "Kong Ming was afraid that I would take Xichuan and rob the first credit, so he deliberately wrote a letter to stop us." ”
"Kong Ming is not a narrow-minded person, and he sent this book here quickly, because he was worried about you and me."
"If you go back to Jingzhou, won't you become a laughing ear, and you have been in Yizhou for nothing in the past few years!" Liu Bei still couldn't listen.
So, Pang Tong had no choice but to make a desperate bet: "Leng Bud was beheaded, the bad omen has been fulfilled, and I will bear the big thing!" Urging Liu Bei to march, the banquet broke up unhappily.
Liu Bei marched to Mianzhu, and Liu Zhang's men held on and never surrendered. Liu Zhang sent the general Li Yan to reinforce Mianzhu. As soon as Li Yan arrived in Mianzhu, he immediately led his men to surrender. Liu Zhang knew it, and his heart was about to explode: "Another guy who eats inside and out, and he is also evil!" ”
Zhang Ren and Liu Bi retreated to Luocheng, where they and Liu Zhang's son Liu Xun resisted Liu Bei's attack. Zhang Ren, the defender of Luocheng, was quite resourceful, and this time the arrogant Pang Tong met his opponent. Zhang Ren calculated that Pang Tong would inevitably walk the path of Luofengpo, where many archers were ambushed.
In order to make it easier for Pang Tong to fight, Liu Bei gave up his BMW famous horse "Lu" to Pang Tong. The army marched in the dense forest of Luofeng Slope, and Pang Tong immediately walked in front of the large army from a distance, chanting as he walked: "Young Phoenix, Falling Phoenix, Falling Phoenix, Young Phoenix!" ”
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—"
Countless cold arrows suddenly shot out in the dense forest, and the captain who was originally ambushed here thought that Liu Bei was sitting on the horse, and ordered the archers to aim at him, and suddenly ten thousand arrows pierced his body, and Pang Tong fell off his horse.
"Withdraw!" Seeing that "Liu Bei" had been hit by so many arrows, he was certain to die, so he quickly transferred with his men and soon disappeared into the jungle.
By the time Liu Bei's army arrived at Luofengpo, Pang Tong had died, he was Chinese New Year's Eve six years old, and he was really pitiful for a generation of peerless talents, this time Liu Bei was completely angry.
Subsequently, Liu Bei marched to besiege Yucheng, and Zhang Renle's troops fought at Yanqiao, but they were defeated and captured. Liu Bei heard that Zhang Ren was loyal and brave, so Qian Tong persuaded Zhang Ren to surrender, and Zhang Ren replied sharply: "I will not serve the second master after all, old minister." Liu Bei was still reluctant to kill Zhang Ren, although Zhang Ren didn't give him face, he personally stepped forward to persuade him. Zhang Ren was unmoved, "If you want to cut it, cut it, don't pretend to be sorry, Yizhou is full of wars and lives, all thanks to you!" ”
"Lord, this person does not want to surrender, so you don't need to kill him! It is useless to say more. Qian Tong admonished on the side.
"Anyway, killing it can comfort Pang Tong's spirit in the sky." Liu Bei remembered Pang Tong's tragic death at this time, and regretted not listening to Kong Ming's advice.
So Zhang Ren was killed, Liu Bei sighed, and shook his head again and again: "This loyal minister, Xuande is helpless." "Order his body to be collected and buried on the side of the Jinyan Bridge to show his loyalty.
Without Pang Tong, Liu Bei lost his right arm, and Liu Bei could only rely on himself in terms of wisdom, and as a result, Liu Bei fell into a bitter battle. The soldiers fought bloody, and the Miao soldiers from Bucheng were the vanguard in every battle, and more than half of the 10,000 horses were killed and wounded.
Far away from their homeland, Miao Bing's homesickness became more and more serious, and Liu Bei, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, cheered up the soldiers from time to time: "The war in Yizhou will soon end, and Liu Zhang's tail will not grow." ”
Liu Bei distributed the captured booty to his subordinates one by one, and the soldiers who died in the battle were given generous pensions to their families in time, and the wounded soldiers Liu Bei gave them timely medical treatment.
After many battles, the troops who entered Shu lost more than half. Now that it is difficult to ride a tiger, Liu Bei had to write a letter to the base camp for help, and Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun sent 30,000 troops from Jingzhou to support Liu Bei.
In 214 A.D. (the nineteenth year of Jian'an), Liu Bei marched into Chengdu and sent Jian Yong to persuade Liu Zhang to surrender. Jian Yong, the word Xianhe, his original surname is Geng, because the people of Youzhou said Geng to Jane, so he changed his surname to Jane. Liu Bei's advisers knew each other with Liu Bei when he was a teenager. Later, he followed Liu Bei to various places, and Liu Bei often used him as a messenger and messenger.
At that time, there were more than 30,000 elite troops in Chengdu, and the food was enough to support a year, the city wall was impregnable, and the officials and people of Yizhou supported Liu Zhang and demanded resistance. It seems that if Liu Bei wants to break through this city, he has to pay a heavy price, but God favors this middle-aged farmer who starts a business at the grassroots level.
