However, it was said that Cao Hong Yiling was defeated, lost his troops and lost his horses, and most of them were damaged, and he returned to Jiangling with Cao Ren.

Cao Ren saw that the Yiling Tomb was lost, the horns were gone, and the lonely city was difficult to defend, so he consulted with everyone.

Cao Hong said: "Now that the Yi Tomb has been lost, Zhou Yu and Chen Bing are outside the city, the situation is already critical, and the prime minister's bag can be dismantled to see it to solve this crisis." ”

Cao Ren opened the bag and was overjoyed after reading it: "The prime minister taught me to set up an empty city plan to destroy the enemy." Then he ordered the sergeants to cook five watches, and the city was full of flags and bluffs; Pingming, the army abandoned the city in three gates.

When Zhou Yu heard the report that Cao's army was out of the city in three gates, he went to the general stage to watch, only to see that the women's wall was empty and there was no one to defend it; The sergeants of Cao Jun were bound and wrapped around their waists, obviously wanting to escape, so they stepped down and ordered Han Dang and Zhou Tai to divide the two armies into the left and right wings, and Cheng Pudu was the rear army, and personally led the army to attack the city.

Cao Hong went out, Han Dang met the battle, more than 30 times, Cao Hong was defeated.

Cao Ren went out to engage in the battle, Zhou Tai greeted each other, fought more than ten times, Cao Ren was defeated, and the formation was disordered.

Zhou Yu's two-wing army was killed, and Cao's army was defeated.

Zhou Yu led the army and horses to chase to the city, but Cao's army did not enter the city, looking to the northwest.

Han Dang and Zhou Tai led the front to try their best to catch up.

Zhou Yu saw that the city gate was wide open and there was no one in the city, so he ordered the army to seize the city.

Zhou Yu whipped his horse and went straight into the urn city.

Chen Jiao saw it on the city tower and couldn't help but secretly cheer: "The prime minister's clever plan is like a god!" "The signal was given.

I only heard the sound of a bang, and the bows and crossbows on both sides fired in unison, like a shower.

The Wu army rushed into the city first, and they all fell into the pit.

When Zhou Yu hurriedly reined in his horse, he was shot in the left rib by a crossbow arrow, turned over and fell off the horse.

Niu Jin came out of the city to catch Zhou Yu.

Xu Sheng and Ding Feng sacrificed their lives to save them.

In the city, the Cao soldiers were prominent, the Wu soldiers trampled on each other, and there were countless people who fell into the trenches.

When Cheng Pu hurriedly collected the army, Cao Ren and Cao Hong divided their troops to fight back, and the Wu soldiers were defeated.

Fortunately, Ling Tong led an army to kill from the thorn and intercept Cao's soldiers.

Cao Ren led the victorious army into the city, and Cheng Pu collected the defeated army and returned to the village.

Ding and Xu Er rescued Zhou Yu to the tent, and called the marching military doctor to pull out the arrow with iron pliers, and apply the gold sore medicine to cover the sore, the pain was unbearable, and the diet was wasted.

The healer said, "This arrow is poisonous, and it cannot be cured urgently." If the anger is intense, the sores will return. ”

Cheng Pu ordered the three armies to hold on to each village and not to go out lightly.

Three days later, Niu Jin led the army to fight, but Cheng Pu did not move.

Niu Jin scolded until dusk, and came back the next day.

Cheng Pu was afraid that Zhou Yu would be angry and didn't dare to report it.

Zhou Yu knew that Cao Bing often came to the village to scold, but he didn't see the crowd coming to him, so he ordered someone to ask Cheng Pu to enter the account and ask him.

Cheng Pu said: "I saw that Gongjin was sick with sores, and the military doctor said not to be angry, so Cao Bing fought and did not dare to report it." ”

Zhou Yu said: "If you don't fight, what is your idea?" ”

Cheng Pu said: "All the generals want to collect their troops and return to Jiangdong temporarily. Wait for the public arrow sores to subside, and then make a district. ”

Zhou Yu listened to this, and jumped up from the bed: "The eldest husband eats Junlu, and when he dies on the battlefield, he will be shrouded in horse leather, fortunately!" How can I abolish the country's affairs for my own sake? "After that, put on the armor and get on the horse, and lead hundreds of horsemen out of the camp.

Seeing that Cao Bing had formed a formation, Cao Ren immediately stood under the banner of the door and raised his whip and scolded: "Zhou Yu's son, it is expected that he will die, and he will not dare to look at my soldiers again!" ”

The scolding continued, and Yu suddenly appeared from the group of horses: "Cao Renpifu, do you want to see Zhou Lang?" ”

When Cao Jun saw it, he was all shocked.

Cao Ren looked back at the generals: "You can scold it!" The army shouted.

Zhou Yu was furious and sent Pan Zhang to battle.

Before the confrontation, Zhou Yu suddenly screamed, blood spurted from his mouth, and fell under the horse.

Cao Bing rushed forward, and the generals resisted, fought a melee, rescued Zhou Yu, and returned to the tent.

In fact, Zhou Yu's blood sprayed in front of the battle, which was a trick to deceive death, and he wanted to lure Cao Ren to rob the village at night.

Zhou Yu first sent his henchmen to Cao Ying to surrender, and at night, he ordered the soldiers to withdraw from the camp and lay in ambush on all sides.

Cao Ren really hit the plan, and all the troops entered the village, but there was no one to see, but it was an empty village, so he knew the plan and urgently ordered the army to retreat. I only heard the sound of cannons on all sides, and thousands of troops surrounded and killed.

Cao Jun couldn't take care of each other, killed each other, and suffered heavy casualties.

Cao Ren led dozens of horsemen to break out of the encirclement, met Cao Hong, and led the remnants of the army to flee to Xiangyang.

Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu collected the army and were about to march to Jingzhou, when they suddenly reported the arrival of Sun Quan's envoy.

Zhou Yu invited in, and the envoy said: "The lord besieged Hefei, and the battle was unsuccessful, so he specially ordered the governor to withdraw the army and send troops to Hefei to help." ”

Zhou Yu had to order Cheng Pu to lead the warship soldiers to Hefei to listen to Sun Quan's call, and ordered Gan Ning to guard Baling County, Ling Tong to guard Hanyang County, and return to Chaisang to recuperate.

Let's say that after the Battle of Chibi, Sun Quan ordered Zhang Zhao to lead the army to capture Jiujiang Dangtu, but he did not return. Sun Quan comforted him, led the army to capture Hefei, and held on to Zhang Liao, the defender of Cao's army, for a long time, and fought more than ten battles, but did not decide the winner, so he sent Zhou Yu to help.

Cheng Pu led the army to, Sun Quan was overjoyed, and went out of the camp to work the army.

On the fifth watch of the next day, the order was sent to Hefei. At the end of the day, the army met Cao's army halfway, and each set up a formation.

In front of the Wu army, Sun Quan's golden helmet and golden armor were neatly hung, Song Qian on the left and Jia Hua on the right, guarding both sides of the heavenly halberd.

In the Cao army's formation, the door flag is opened twice, Zhang Liao in the middle, Li Dian on the left, Lejin on the right, and the three generals are all dressed and used to take the belt, and the horses go out of the battle.

Le Jin took the lead and wielded a knife to take Sun Quan.

Song Qian and Jia Hua raised Fang Tian to draw a halberd to cover the frame.

Le Jin's hand rose and fell, and the two halberds broke together.

Song Qian and Jia Hua only hit the halberd pole towards Le Jin's horse's head.

Le Jin returned to the horse, and Song Qian hurriedly grabbed a sergeant spear and rushed over.

Li Dian opened his bow and set up an arrow, hitting Song Qian's heart, and fell off the horse.

Jia Hua grabbed the knife to fight Li Dian, and was split into two sections by Le Jin from the back.

Zhang Liao took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, and the Wu army was in chaos and scattered in all directions.

Zhang Liao saw Sun Quan and chased after him. Seeing that he was about to catch up, a military horse was knocked out of the oblique stab, and the general led by Cheng Pu was Cheng Pu, who intercepted and killed for a while to save Sun Quan.

Zhang Liao collected the army and self-fattening.

Sun Quan was rescued by Cheng Pu and returned to the village, and when he saw Song Qian and Jia Hua guarding the left and right, he cried loudly.

Changshi Zhang Hong said: "The lord is strong and strong, has no fear, despises the enemy, and the people of the three armies are all chilling. Even if the general is the banner and the earthquake is in the field, it is also the general's responsibility, and it is not suitable for the lord. Today, Song Qian and Jia Hua died under the blade, both of which are because the lord underestimated the enemy, so they should take care of themselves in the future. ”

When Sun Quan heard this, he remembered the tragic situation of Tai Shici being shot by random arrows to protect himself.

It was the eleventh year of Jian'an (206 years), Sun Quan was fighting with Liu Pan's nephew Liu Pan, Liu Pan's general Huang Zhong was extremely brave, Sun Quan was invincible, and he was chased and killed very urgently.

Tai Shici was shot by Huang Zhong with an arrow in the center, but he still fought hard with his halberd, and finally killed the enemy and rescued Sun Quan, but he was lying alone in a pool of blood.

Sun Quan picked it up, and Tai Shici shouted: "The eldest husband was born in troubled times, and he should bring a three-foot sword to make great achievements in the world, and assist the lord to ascend to the rank of the Son of Heaven." What I want to do today is unsuccessful, but I will die! He died with a cry at the age of forty-one.

Sun Quan recalled the magnificent scene when Tai Shi Ci died, and now he saw Song Qian and Jia Hua die protecting the lord, and heard Zhang Hong's words of reproach, and was sad: "It's my fault!" It should be changed in the future. ”

Zhang Zhao saw that Sun Quan was so sad, and asked him to stop the army.

Sun Quan obeyed it, ordered to carry the bodies of Song Qian and Jia Hua, withdraw the troops back to Nanxu (now Zhenjiang, Jiangsu), bury Song Qian and Jia Hua at the foot of Beigu Mountain in Nanxu, and raise Taishi Cizi Taishi Heng in Fuzhong; On the one hand, he sent an envoy to comfort Zhou Yu, worshiped Zhou Yu as a partial general, led the southern county to be guarded, and Xiajun, Hanchang, Liuyang, and Zhouling were Fengyi, and Jiangling was based.

However, it is said that Liu Bei united with Sun Quan, sent Zhuge Liang to cross the river to assist Zhou Yu in defeating Cao's army in Chibi, and used Zhuge Liang's plan to set up an ambush to intercept Cao Cao, and was worshiped by Sun Quan as the general of Zuo, known as "Zuo Gong", according to the Youjiangkou Xiaoling (now Jingzhou Public Security County, Hubei), he led Jingzhou Mu, moved the Jingzhou administrative office to Xiaoling, and took the meaning of "Zuo Public Security Camp Xiazhai", renamed Xiaoling Gong'an, and the public security became the Jingzhou administrative office.

In the fourteenth year of Jian'an (209), Liu Bei sent Zhao Yun to help Zhou Yu defeat Cao Ren and attack Jiangling, the seat of Nanjun Governor.

Zhuge Liang designed, sent someone to use Cao Ren's soldier talisman to falsely claim Cao Ren for help, and led Xiahou Dun, who guarded Xiangyang, out of the city, so that Guan Yu took advantage of the situation to seize Xiangyang.

Liu Bei saw that Cao's army returned to the north, got rid of the pursuit, and occupied some counties and counties in Jingzhou, and finally had a place to stay, he was overjoyed in his heart, and gathered to discuss a long-term plan.

Yi Zhijin said: "If you know Jingzhou's long-term plan, you can ask the local sages." ”

Liu Bei felt his old kindness, respected him very much, and asked the seat: "Where is the Magi?" ”

Yi said: "Has the imperial uncle heard of Jingxiang's 'Ma Family Five Constants'? ”

When it comes to the "Five Constants of the Ma Family", everyone knows it locally.

Xiangyang Yicheng (now Xiangyang Yicheng South, Hubei) Ma family five brothers, the eldest Ma Zhong, the word Bochang; The second Ma Xin, the word Zhongchang; The old three Ma Xian, the word Uncle Chang; The old four Ma Liang, the word Ji Chang; The youngest is Ma Tan, who is young and often has five brothers, and has a talented name.

Liu Bei said: "I have also heard, 'The Ma family is the five constants, and the white eyebrows are the best'. ”

Yi said: "Among the five brothers, the fourth brother is called Ma Liang, the most virtuous, and the emperor can invite him to conspire." ”

Liu Bei immediately sent someone to invite Ma Liang to treat him with courtesy, and asked for advice on how to protect Jing Xiang.

Ma Liang said: "Jingxiang is a place of enemies on all sides, and I am afraid that it cannot be defended for a long time. Today's plan can be played as the son Liu Qi for the history of Jingzhou, in order to calm the hearts of the people, while recuperating from illness, while recruiting the old department to guard the palace. Then the south conquered the four counties of Wuling, Changsha, Guiyang, and Lingling, accumulated money and grain, thought it was fundamental, and then made other plans, which was a long-term plan. ”

Liu Bei then asked which county to take first?

Ma Liang said: "To the west of the Xiangjiang River, Lingling is the closest, you can take it first, and then take Wuling; Then to the east of the Xiangjiang River, take Guiyang first, and then Changsha. ”

Liu Bei was overjoyed, and used Ma Liang as his deputy, and discussed with Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang said: "At the beginning, I persuaded the lord to take Jingzhou, but the lord did not listen. Why do you want to seize the four counties of Jingnan today? ”

Liu Bei said: "The former is the land of Jingsheng, so I can't bear to take it; Now it is the land of Cao Cao, and it is reasonable to take it. ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Jingsheng entrusted Jingzhou to the lord on his deathbed, but for the word 'benevolence', he retreated, saying that he couldn't bear to take advantage of the danger. Today's son Liu Qi should have inherited, why did the lord abandon the word 'benevolence' and take it with patience? ”

When Liu Bei heard Zhuge Liang's repeated questions, he was displeased in his heart, and his face turned red.
