Chapter 277: Decisive Battle!
Jian'an four years, late December.
Due to the heavy snow blocking the road and the grain road, Liu Bei had no choice but to lead his troops to retreat to Jiangling again, and prepared to storm the Chu army camp to alleviate the current situation.
——
In the general's mansion, Liu Bei just arrived in Jiangling.
All the generals under the tent came, and their faces were gloomy.
At this moment, a hurried voice sounded: "Report~!" Qi Yu lord, Guiyang was lost, and Guiyang Taishou Zhao Fan led the people to surrender to the Chu army. ”
Liu Bei's chest was tight, and his eyes were a little black.
Changsha was lost half a month ago, and now Guiyang is losing, so isn't Lingling also fast?
"Report~, Lord Qi, Lingling Taishou returns to Chu Feng."
"Report~, Lord Qi, Wuling Taishou led his troops to surrender to Chu Feng."
It may be that God wants to be angry with Liu Bei, and the envoys from the three places arrived at the same time.
After the three of them finished speaking, Liu Bei only felt out of breath, and with the loss of the three counties, it meant that the entire Jingnan had nothing to do with him.
Now, it is estimated that the city of Gangneung can be controlled.
Although Jiangling has accumulated enough grain, grass and ordnance to support tens of thousands of people, there is no place to stand in Jingzhou, and his subordinates will mutiniate sooner or later until he is defeated.
The generals listened to these messengers, and they also showed solemnity, obviously, the loss of Jing Nan was a blow to everyone, and there were too few paths to choose from at the moment.
"Big brother, it's useless to stick to Jiangling." Guan Yu raised his eyebrows, looked at Liu Bei and said in a deep voice.
"Lord, the entire Jingzhou is under Chu Feng's control, and if it drags on any longer, I am afraid that the soldiers will mutinied, and the last general will think that even in the cold winter, they will attack the village."
"Capture Chu Zhai and kill Chu Feng, our army still has a glimmer of life, otherwise, it will be just a slow death." Huang Zhong also frowned and said in a deep voice.
Jian Yong nodded, which can be regarded as approval.
Liu Bei frowned, depressed.
He fought with Chu Feng several times, but all of them ended in fiasco, he thought that he had the strength to call the board this time, but with Xu Shu leaving, he was pinched again.
Storming, how easy is it!
"Big brother, give the order!" Guan Yu clenched his fists and pressed his sword and waited for Liu Bei to speak.
Taking a deep breath, Liu Bei closed his eyes, and it took a long time before he opened his eyes and said in a low voice: "Order, the whole army assembles to capture the Chu army camp, swear to break the Chu camp, and kill Chu Feng." ”
"No!" All the tribes will drink together.
Immediately, Guan Yu turned around and went down to prepare, and Huang Zhong was also ready to explain to his subordinates, so because of the battle with Zhang Xian, Jiangling had a lot of siege equipment.
————
The Chu army has a big account, and several letters also came.
The most important one of them was conveyed by Zhao Fan personally, and the messenger read it aloud, which probably meant that Zhao Fan wanted to bribe the lord with a beauty, and he refused on the grounds that it was inconvenient to march.
After listening, Chu Feng slandered in his heart.
"Ahem, Zhao Fan is really a good general, he didn't disappoint me, not only recovered Jingnan County, but also rejected the beauty that Zhao Fan wanted to send for me, reward, reward!"
Chu Feng's face darkened, of course he was clear from black and white, Zhao Fan really deserved to do this, but it was a pity, especially when he heard that it was still the Fan family.
Fan's record and Yun Biography, Pei Songzhi has been inscribed, but that was a few years later, when Fan was already a widow, but this is still amazing and rich in national color.
Later generations even joked, saying that the cherry Fan Sukou of Bai Juyi in the old Tang Dynasty book of the Fan family, and the small waist of the willow made Chu Feng look forward to it.
After all, there are still a lot of things that Sukou can do.
And there is a poem that says: There are two bridges in Jiangbei, and Fan Zhenqiao in Hebei. Central Plains Feng beauty, Diao Chan is the first wonderful. This poem is obviously a list of the more beautiful women in the world.
Of these six people, Chu Feng already has the second bridge, Zhen Mi, Feng's, Diao Chan, and only Fan's is the only one, but it's a pity, this makes Chu Feng's desire to collect very uncomfortable.
The generals all nodded in evaluation.
"General Zhao really has the demeanor of a good general."
"Yes, in just over a month, the entire Jingnan has been pacified."
After a compliment, Xu Chu was holding back a smile, he still knew that he was the boss, although he was not ambiguous when he dared to be solemn, but he only liked beautiful women.
Of course, he also loves beautiful women.
Zhao Fan directly rejected the Fan family, maybe he would hurt his boss's heart more, how could he, as the boss's personal general, not think about the boss's happiness?
"Lord, during the march, it is indeed not easy to be a woman, but the lord still has too few wives, and the last general thinks that he can send a letter to let the Fan family wait, and the lord will wait for the end of the war in Jingzhou."
"On the one hand, you can fill in the branches and leaves for the lord, and on the other hand, you can also appease Zhao Fan and others, after all, in this situation, if you refuse directly, it will be bad."
Xu Chu stepped out of the wrong step, clenched his fists and said in a deep voice.
"That's right, this move can appease the place, yes." Chu Feng answered seriously, and then gave Xu Chu a look, as if to say, you kid, I will watch you when I am young.
Xu Chu smiled knowingly, this sycophant was in place.
Generals: "??? ”
Jia Xu: "??? ”
The corners of Jia Xu's mouth twitched, good guy, Chu Feng is so refreshing, even if this guy messes with Cai's, he still wants to engage Fan's, tsk, it's good to be young!
However, since Chu Feng said it, they didn't have much to say, not to mention that it was indeed as Xu Chu said, refusing directly would make Zhao Fan feel guilty.
"Lord, Jingnan has now fallen into the hands of our army, and next, Liu Bei should be killed." Gao Shun clenched his fists and chuckled.
"Don't be careless, next you must beware of Liu Bei's dying counterattack, in addition, this time I can't let Liu Bei go, I want to kill this person with my own hands."
Chu Feng's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, with murderous intent.
Maybe Liu Bei was a Ming monarch in the prosperous era, but in such a troubled era, although he had lofty ambitions and wanted to help the Han family, it was the people who suffered.
In troubled times, there is no right or wrong.
But the decades he struggled with have caused the entire Han Dynasty to die millions of more people, just like a-stirring stick, for the sake of the Han family, he stirred up the already foul-smelling dung pit.
In history, if Cao Cao had listened to Guo Jia Chengyu and directly cut Liu Bei, the people of the Han Dynasty would have lived a stable life decades earlier, and there would have been no chaos in later generations.
Of course, there is only victory or defeat in the struggle for hegemony in the world, there is no right or wrong, and Liu Bei is not wrong to stir up the situation, but it is millions of people who are buried with him.
This time, he didn't want this-stirring stick to run away again, he wanted to end Liu Bei Rende's life with his own hands, Rende in troubled times had no strength and was just a burden.
"No!" Everyone responded in unison.
"Report~, Lord Qi, Liu Bei's soldiers and horses are out of the city, densely packed with tens of thousands, and there are countless siege equipment, it seems that he is going to attack the city for a decisive battle."
While everyone was talking, the horse galloped in and shouted.
"Hehe, I really fought back, did I struggle before I died!" Chu Feng snorted coldly, and sure enough, as he guessed, Liu Beigou jumped over the wall in a hurry and had nothing to do.
"Zhang Xiu listens to orders!" Chu Feng shouted.
"The last general!"
"Liu Bei has no iron cavalry, immediately lead the cavalry under your command to shoot the news of Jingnan's loss into his army formation, I want to make Liu Bei's three armies cowardly before fighting."
Chu Feng shook his five fingers angrily and shouted in a deep voice.
"No!" Zhang Xiu nodded, excited.
"Gao Shun listened to the order and was fully responsible for the garrison of the village, so that Liu Bei knew what it meant to be elite." Chu Feng said coldly.
"No!" Gao Shun hugged his fist and responded.
"Zhao Yun listened to the order, the commander of the iron cavalry waited, and the central army was also ordered, the whole army was ready for battle, as long as Liu Bei's army was in chaos, immediately rush out with me and kill Liu Bei."
Chu Feng's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"No!" Zhao Yun nodded, excited.
It's just that the person who killed was Liu Bei, at least he followed Liu Bei for a while, although he was not a master and servant, but this person was very good to himself.
"The rest of the ministries will assist Gao Shun in defending the city."
"No!" All the generals should come down in unison.
"Okay, go down and prepare quickly, and be sure to crush Liu Beijun's faith." Chu Feng waved his hand.
"No!" The generals nodded.
After saying that, everyone retreated in unison.
Jia Xu hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Lord, spring is about to begin, Yuan Jun is afraid that there will be actions in the spring, and the people of Jingzhou need to farm." ”
"In this battle, I think that we might as well fight faster, on the one hand, to deter the princes of the world, and on the other hand, to end the Jingzhou war faster and return to Xuzhou."
Chu Feng nodded, indeed, the war in Jingzhou has dragged on long enough, and the layout of the whole year should also be over, otherwise the people of Jingzhou should miss the spring ploughing.
"I know in my heart that the Central Army will tear apart Liu Bei's last illusions." Chu Feng responded in a deep voice.
"That's the best, besides, I don't know if I should say it or not." Jia Xu said with some hesitation.
"But it doesn't hurt to say it!" Chu Feng spread his hands.
"Lord, although the Cai family has contributed a lot to Jingzhou this time, but the high merit must be guarded against, then the Cai family has been deeply cultivating Jingzhou for many years, and still let the Cai family be in charge of Jingzhou, I'm afraid..."
Jia Xu showed a little worry and didn't point it out.
"What, are you worried that the Cai family will rebel?" Chu Feng asked.
"No, the lord might as well think about it, the Qiao family in Jiujiang, the Wu family in Wu County, the Mi family in Xuzhou, the Cai family in Jingzhou, and the power of the lord's wife and concubine family are almost all over Jing, Yang, and Xu."
"It's not a good thing for the lord to have their own family!" Jia Xu lowered his head and reminded.
After speaking, Jia Xu left quietly.
Chu Feng frowned slightly, the use of the family power behind his wife and concubine is bound to be the simplest and most direct, whether it is Sun Quan, Liu Bei, or Yuan Shao Cao Cao in later generations, they all use marriage to consolidate their position.
But as Jia Xu said, marriage is indeed fast to consolidate status, but it will also create a large number of dominant family forces, how can it not be the same as today after a hundred years?
Thinking of this, Chu Feng fell into deep thought, he was thinking about how to break the situation.
It's just that he will obviously be wrong about Jia Xu's meaning, Jia Xu didn't want Chu Feng to break the game, he just needed to suppress it, and he couldn't be too indulgent.
————
For a long time, on the other side.
Zhang Xiu came galloping with an iron horse.
Looking at the iron horse in the distance, Liu Bei frowned, and immediately shouted: "Order, form a formation!" ”
The reason why he dared to come over blatantly was because he knew that Chu Feng did not have many cavalry, otherwise this kind of swaggering over was no different from looking for death.
"Drive!"
Zhang Xiu beat his horse and let his cavalry rush over from both sides, and at the same time he shouted: "Big-eared thief, my lord asked me to send you a congratulatory gift!" ”
Saying that, Zhang Xiu grabbed the bow and arrow, and the cavalry under his command were all good at Xiliang, and they bent their bows and arrows one after another, and then a round of arrow rain fell, and even took away some soldiers' lives.
A total of two or three thousand copies were prepared!
"Big brother, look!" Guan Yu grabbed a feather arrow and walked quickly, his face was gloomy, and there was a paper hanging on the arrow, with the words Jingnan all descending.
"Chu thief, it's so deceitful!"
Liu Bei was furious and roared.
"Lord, Chu Feng obviously wants to break the fighting spirit of our army, so immediately ask his subordinates to collect the arrows with paper, and declare that there is no such thing."
Jian Yong suggested urgently.
"Well, Guan Yu, do what the military advisor says immediately, no one can tell anyone about the loss of Jingnan." Liu Bei clenched his fists and admonished.
"No!" Guan Yu should go down.
"Order, the whole army will speed up the march, and if it is late, there will be changes!" Liu Bei said urgently.
However, even if Guan Yu collected the letter as soon as possible, there were still all kinds of gossip about Jing Nan's loss in the camp, and all the soldiers were panicked for a while.
Even if Jingbei didn't have it, and now Jingnan doesn't have it, doesn't it mean that they are a lonely city and a lonely army, so how can they fight with Chu Feng's king's army?
How can you sell your life like this?
If it weren't for Liu Bei's grain in his hands, I'm afraid they would have slipped away a long time ago.
As for Guan Yu's emphasis that this was a trick of the Chu army, not many people believed it, after all, the Chu army had crossed Jingnan south before, and they knew it.
————
For a long time, on the head of the village.
Chu Feng stood straight and looked at the past.
Liu Bei's siege equipment is complete, but the military array of tens of thousands of people seems a little messy, just the simple advance is so messy, but there is no way to command it if you want to fight.
This reminded Chu Feng of a later netizen who ridiculed Liu Bei.
Liu Bei can almost fight on a scale of less than 10,000, and Liu Bei can almost not fight on a scale of more than 10,000, of course, this is just a joke, just saying that Liu Bei has lost a lot.
"My lord, such a scattered military formation, the last general has the confidence to break it up in one round." Gao Shun frowned and said with confidence.
"Don't worry, let him attack the city first, and when his three armies are exhausted, I will personally lead my troops to rush out and behead Liu Bei." Chu Feng shrugged, but his eyebrows were ruthless.
Only then did the generals give up in indignation.
Liu Bei was wearing armor, riding a white horse under his crotch, with a double-strand sword hanging from his waist, looking at the thousands of soldiers and horses behind him, he was full of pride again, drew his sword and shouted angrily:
"Chu Feng, Liu Biao is the history of the Han Dynasty's pro-Fengzhou assassination, as a general, but he will be killed, to the millions of people in Jingzhou and the flames of war, today, I Liu Bei will seek justice for the people of the Han Dynasty."
"Huh! Liu Bei, put away your hypocritical face! Chu Feng snorted coldly and scolded angrily,
Liu Bei didn't want to quarrel with him, so he immediately looked back and reprimanded angrily: "All the monarchs listen to the order, today, the one who kills Chu Feng will be the Taishou of the Southern County, and the marquis will be worshiped by the general, and another thousand gold will be rewarded." ”
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
When the soldiers heard of this reward, they were instantly excited.
It's just that as the siege began, everyone knew that this thing was a bit difficult, and no one even dared to think of it anymore.
"Siege the city, Ben will personally supervise the battle!" Liu Bei pulled out his double-strand sword and scolded angrily.
"Rush!!"
Immediately, Guan Yu from the front, Huang Zhong from the flank, each led 5,000 people to rush up first, and all kinds of siege equipment were also pushed in.
For a time, an offensive and defensive battle started directly.
