After Cao Cao retreated, Liu Bei took Hanzhong and soon became king of this place. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Liu Bei's claim to be king of Hanzhong was in July 219 AD, and shortly thereafter, Guan Yu led his army and Cao Wei's army to engage in battle in the Xiangfan area, flooding the Seventh Army and shaking China.

Specifically, in August of that year, heavy rain fell in the Xiangfan area, flash floods broke out, and Fancheng was surrounded by floods.

This flood also submerged the Seventh Army sent by Cao Cao to rescue, which was the so-called Flooded Seventh Army. Although Guan Yu was a northerner, he was able to command the naval army, and he took advantage of the flood to drive the ship and the main general of the reinforcements to fight in Ban, but he captured Yu Ban and killed another general, Pang De, and won the first battle.

Pang De was originally a general under Ma Chao, and when Ma Chao defected to Liu Bei, Pang De happened to be sick, so he left him with Zhang Lu. Later, Zhang Lu surrendered to Cao, Pang De changed to Cao Cao and was very loyal, this time even Yu Ban, who rebelled with Cao Cao, surrendered, and he did not surrender.

At this time, Cao Ren, who was guarding Fancheng, still decided to hold on, and at the same time, Cao Cao sent Xu Huang to lead troops to rescue. In this way, the war entered a stalemate stage, and Guan Yu was able to defeat Xu Huang's reinforcements and Cao Ren's defenders, and the two sides were at a standoff.

This kind of situation is unfavorable to Guan Yu, and it can be described as a dilemma. If Guan Yu wants to take Xiangyang and Fancheng, the current strength is not enough, and he can only transfer troops from his base area for reinforcements, but the defenders of Nanjun in the base area are mainly to guard against Sun Quan, and once they are transferred, the rear will be very empty.

The front-line commander of Jiangdong also saw that the opportunity was coming, and the person in this position at this time was Lu Meng, the one who was "three days away, and he should be impressed".

Lu Meng was born in poverty, and he slowly rose up by fighting bravely. Due to the lack of education, to a certain extent, he encountered a bottleneck in his career. At that time, Sun Quan asked him to read some books, and Lu Meng was originally resistant to this, but in the end he was persuaded by Sun Quan, and he improved greatly through reading, and rose to the position of this front-line commander.

In order to let Guan Yu relax his defense, Lu Meng lied that he was sick and stepped down from the front line, and then replaced him with the little-known Lu Xun. As soon as Lu Xun took office, he wrote a letter to Guan Yu to show his weakness, mainly because he praised Guan Yu for leading the troops to fight much more effectively than Bai Qi and Han Xin, and he was just a nerd, and he must learn more from General Guan in the future.

Guan Yu was arrogant, he had always looked down on scribes, and now he saw that he was replaced by a nerd, and he immediately took it lightly, and slowly transferred the army defending Jiangdong in his rear to the front line.

In the face of Guan Yu's strength, Cao Cao and Sun Quan had secretly colluded at this time, Cao Cao continued to increase Xu Huang's troops, Xu Huang launched a counterattack, Guan Yu could not resist, and had to withdraw his troops.

In this way, the siege of Fancheng was relieved, before Sun Quan's side Lü Meng and Lu Xun's soldiers divided into two routes, Lü Meng led the army to cross the river in white clothes, dressed up the army as a caravan, marched along the Yangtze River to Jiangling, and quietly came to Nanjun.

As soon as Koto's army arrived in Nam-gun, those who remained surrendered immediately. Lu Xun also arrived at Yidao very smoothly and guarded the mouth of the Yangtze River in case Liu Bei sent troops to the rescue.

In this way, Guan Yu had no way to escape, he was defeated and killed by Sun Quan. Soon after Guan Yu's death, Lü Meng fell ill and died, and Cao Cao also died of illness, and Cao Pi succeeded to the title of King of Wei. This was probably in January 220 A.D.

In October of the same year, Cao Pi forced Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to make Zen Rang, proclaimed himself emperor, and established the Wei State. Changed the Yuan to the beginning of the Huang Dynasty, and posthumously named Cao Cao as Emperor Taizuwu.

In this way, the Eastern Han Dynasty was completely destroyed, and the pattern of the Three Kingdoms was fully formed, and in April 221 AD, Liu Bei was proclaimed emperor and Jianyuan Zhangwu.

After Liu Bei became emperor, he immediately set out to avenge Guan Yu, but before he could send troops, Zhang Fei was killed by his subordinates, and the head was sent to Sun Quan.

In this way, together with Huang Zhong, who died of illness, three of the five tiger generals died, and the important strategist Fa Zheng also passed away. The generals who are good at fighting also include Ma Chao, Zhao Yun and Wei Yan, and only Zhuge Liang is left among the ministers.

Ma Chao and Wei Yan had to prevent Shu from being attacked by Cao Wei in the north, so they were stationed in Hanzhong and could not move. Zhao Yun disapproves of Liu Bei's attack on Sun Quan, he thinks that the **** is Cao Cao, so he should fight Cao Wei first, and once Cao Wei is defeated, Sun Quan will naturally be fine.

Of course Liu Bei wouldn't listen to Zhao Yun, so he didn't trust him to go with him, Zhuge Liang wanted to guard Chengdu, and he couldn't leave, so there were no decent people to follow Liu Bei to fight Sun Quan. Even so, Liu Bei, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, still led tens of thousands of troops of Shu to attack eastward, and at the beginning he still played a triumphant song all the way.

In the face of Liu Bei's aggressive momentum, Sun Quan submitted a courtesy to Cao Pi in August 221 AD, and accepted the title of King of Wu given to him by Cao Pi in November of the same year. In this way, Sun Quan can concentrate on dealing with Shu, and only Sun Quan has not yet been proclaimed emperor in the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu, so there is a large room for maneuver politically.

This time the commander-in-chief of the front line of Soochow was Lu Xun, and Sun Quan's earliest front-line commander was Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu relied on Lu Su after Zhou Yu, and Lu Meng after Lu Su's death, and Lu Xun after Lu Meng, and it was not long after Lu Xun began to lead the army.

In February 222 AD, Liu Bei and Lu Xun successively led the army to Yiling, Lu Xun knew that Liu Bei fought a strong battle, and kept retreating, until June, Lu Xun saw that the Shu army was tired, and Liu Bei camped also had problems, so he suddenly counterattacked, burning the company camp for 700 miles.

Liu Bei's ability to escape was still good, seeing that the army had collapsed, he ran all the way to the White Emperor City, and he never returned to Chengdu after that, and he couldn't afford to be ill.

So Liu Bei summoned Zhuge Liang and others to Yong'an Palace in 223 AD to arrange the funeral, which was Yong'an Tuogu. In fact, in addition to entrusting Liu Chan to Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, there is also Shangshu Ling Li Yan, and the two of them are one and the other. In addition, Liu Bei also issued an edict to Liu Chan, asking him to treat Zhuge Liang like his father.

There is a very famous sentence in the edict, the original text is: "Do not take evil as small, do not take good as small." ”

Liu Bei asked Liu Chan to convince people with virtue, and said that he was not virtuous enough, so he should not follow suit. This is probably the so-called "people are dying, and their words are also good".

April 223: Liu Bei fell ill and died, and Liu Chan succeeded to the throne.

…………

Su Le, Ya Lito, Mulan, Athena, Hua He, and Lin Fulei did not stay until this time, and were summoned back before that, which can be regarded as a successful completion of the mission.

Probably after Su Le Na Zhen Mi became a concubine, and after a wonderful time of not long or short, Su Le left a letter to explain the matter: first of all, he left Jianye's Baicaotang to Cai Yan, Diao Chan and Zhen Mi to operate, and there were also a lot of gold and silver treasures left together.

And in the letter, Su Le was not as stingy as before, and he was sorry for not being able to accompany the three of them all the time, so that they could remarry if they met the right person.

Cai Yan, Diao Chan and Zhen Mi didn't want to continue to run the medicinal herb business, so they scattered most of their family fortunes and lived a life of traveling all over the world, searching for immortals and visiting the Tao, and finally cultivated into immortals.

Much later, when the Shu Kingdom fell, Cai Yan and the three of them also helped Zhuge Guo, who had taken refuge in the Taoist temple in the mountains, to become immortals. The three of them believe that if they keep waiting, they will definitely see Su Le again......

ps:The plot related to Diao Chan has finally been revised.,In addition, by the way, I adjusted the volume as a whole.,It took time to correct a lot of text along the way.。 After the change, the whole should be smoother than before, and there will be one less depression.
