Chapter 137: The Eastern Three Turmoil Reinforcements have arrived
In the twenty-fourth year of Han Jian'an, he was in the three eastern counties of Yizhou.
The three eastern counties refer to the three counties of Fangling, Shangyong and Xicheng.
These three counties were originally only three counties of Hanzhong County, and Fangling was changed to a county at the end of Jian'an, which belonged to Jingzhou.
In the twentieth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao attacked Hanzhong, Zhang Lu surrendered, and Cao Cao divided Hanzhong into three, and placed Xicheng and Shangyong two counties.
And in order to strengthen the threat to the hinterland of Yizhou, Cao Cao assigned the three counties of Xicheng, Shangyong, and Fangling to the jurisdiction of Cao Ren of Nanyang County.
Because these three counties are located in the east of Hanzhong, the people of Yizhou call them the three eastern counties.
The three eastern counties are surrounded by Qinling, Bashan, Wudang and Wushan, and are a standard place of four stops.
However, there are Han River in its territory, the South River, the Blocked River, and the Qian River are connected to the Han River, which is a network radiation.
The three eastern counties are surrounded by mountains on the outside, the terrain is treacherous, but the water transportation is developed inside, and the exchanges are frequent, which is a good place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
This year, after Liu Bei completely occupied the entire territory of Hanzhong, in order to complete Zhuge Liang's strategic concept, the three counties of Hanzhong, the three eastern counties, and the three counties of Xiangyang were connected as a line of defense.
He sent Yidu Taishou Meng Da to go against the current and lead his army to capture Fangling County.
Later, Meng Da, under Liu Bei's order, waved his army to attack Shangyong County.
Liu Bei was worried that Meng Da would not be able to take on the task alone, and in order to facilitate the three eastern counties to support Guan Yu from the flanks in the later period, he sent Liu Feng from Hanzhong to the south to lead Meng Da's army.
After Liu Feng's army joined Meng Da at Shangyong, he successfully forced Shangyong to surrender to Shen Tan.
Shangyong Shentan was afraid of Liu Bei's might, so he moved his wife, children and clan to Chengdu as hostages to show his loyalty.
So far, the three eastern counties have all fallen into the hands of Liu Bei.
In order to quickly stabilize the situation in the three eastern counties and reward meritorious deeds, Liu Bei made the following arrangements for the subordinates of the three eastern counties.
Liu Bei appointed Shen Tan as the general of the expedition to the north, and led the Shangyong Taishou and the feudal townsman.
He also appointed Shen Tan's younger brother Shen Yi as the general of Jianxin and the Taishou of Xicheng, and appointed Deng Fu, a local tycoon in Fangling, as the Taishou of Fangling.
As for Meng Da, who had the greatest credit in this battle, Liu Bei did not reward him.
Liu Bei appointed Liu Feng as the deputy army general, led the troops to garrison Shangyong, commanded the three counties, and ordered Meng Da to be the deputy.
For this, Meng Da has always had a lot of complaints in his heart.
But because Liu Bei's power was strong at this time, even if he had some complaints, he didn't dare to show it at all.
Among the three eastern counties, Xicheng County is the closest to Hanzhong County, Shangyong County is in the middle, and Fangling County is in the easternmost and closest to Jingzhou.
At this time, in the Han River in Xicheng County, many warships were swimming down the river and galloping towards Shangyong County.
There were hundreds of warships, and there were thousands of soldiers in all the ships.
And at the head of all the warships, there is the largest building ship, which is riding first on the vast Han River.
On the deck of the towering ship, there was a majestic and mighty man eight feet long.
He was dressed in fine armor, and a pair of tiger eyes were quickly observing his body.
After observing it, the tiger general looked at the person beside him and said:
"It has been recorded in the "Historical Records": Thousands of miles long, mountains and forests, its solid high tombs, if there are houses.
Explain how dangerous the terrain of Fangling County is."
"Now that I have traveled to this Xicheng County, the topography of Xicheng is roughly the same as that of Fangling.
….
With such an easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack terrain, Liu Feng and Meng Da were worried about an invasion by foreign enemies.
I wonder how this foreign enemy will come?"
The tiger generals who spoke were none other than Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide, the right generals of Hanzhong.
Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were the first two to follow Liu Bei, although the three did not have an oath of righteousness, but decades of life and death have made these three like brothers.
When Zhang Fei, who was training in Langzhong, received Liu Bei's edict, he immediately ordered his soldiers to prepare and go to battle.
Zhang Fei was not only Liu Bei's right general, but after Liu Bei pacified Yizhou, he ordered Zhang Fei to be the Brazilian Taishou.
This year, Liu Bei is here
After the capture of Hanzhong, Hanzhong was Liu Bei's third largest base after Jingzhou and Yizhou, and the candidate for Hanzhong Taishou also became the focus of attention.
At that time, everyone thought that Guan Yu was appointed to guard Jingzhou, and Liu Bei was from Yizhou, so the heavy responsibility of guarding Hanzhong was bound to be handed over to Zhang Fei.
But waiting for Liu Bei's letter of appointment, what everyone didn't expect was that the last Hanzhong Taishou was Wei Yan.
However, Zhang Fei was appointed by Liu Bei as the Brazilian Taishou and stationed in Langzhong.
But in fact, this arrangement does not prove that in Liu Bei's mind, Wei Yan is more capable than Zhang Fei, or more important.
Because geographically, the strategic importance of Pasir County is just as great.
Among the northern counties of Yizhou, due north of Pasir County is Hanzhong, the third largest base of Liu Bei, the northwest is Cao Wei's Longxi, the northeast is the three eastern counties, and the east is Yubei County, an important town in Yizhou.
From a defensive point of view, Pasir County is the second line of defense and a solid backing behind Hanzhong.
In case the situation in Hanzhong was tense, Zhang Fei was able to rush to the aid from Pasir County.
And Zhang Fei's military position is far greater than Wei Yan, when Zhang Fei led the army to rescue in Hanzhong, he was the first commander in Hanzhong.
Even if Hanzhong was lost, Zhang Fei would still be able to block the southward momentum of Cao Wei's army in Brazil County, and at the same time be able to contain Cao Wei's breakthrough from the direction of the three eastern counties.
And once Jingzhou is in danger, Zhang Fei can go down the river from Brazil to support Jingzhou.
And when Liu Bei was going to send troops to the Northern Expedition to Yongliang, Zhang Fei of Pasir County would become the real pioneer of the Northern Expedition.
Because most of the population of Hanzhong County was relocated by Cao Cao, it was not enough to defend itself in the short term.
It can be said that Liu Bei handed over the hinterland of Yizhou to his "third brother" Zhang Fei to garrison.
When Liu Bei heard that Guan Yu was in trouble in Jingzhou, he wanted Zhang Fei to send troops from Brazil to support Guan Yu.
However, Liu Bei considered that in the three eastern counties, Meng Da and Liu Feng might have a heart of disobedience, and they might defect to Cao Wei.
The location of the three eastern counties is critical, if this is obtained by Cao Wei, then Hanzhong may not only be unprotected, but even after Zhang Fei led the army away, the Wei army can also directly go down the river from the three eastern counties and attack the hinterland of Yizhou.
Therefore, Liu Bei first ordered Zhang Fei to go north to stabilize the three eastern counties.
And in terms of the speed of the march alone, it is different from Zhang Fei's Guan Yu, who can only support Xiangfan by land after leading the army into Jingzhou.
Zhang Fei led his troops to garrison Langzhong City, and Zhang Fei led the army from the Han River to Xicheng County for a short time, and then went all the way down the river in Xicheng County to Xiangyang City.
In this way, Zhang Fei can not only stabilize the situation in the three eastern counties and protect the hinterland of Yizhou, but also quickly reach Xiangyang City to support Guan Yu, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
….
And on the building boat, the person who was talking to Zhang Fei was none other than Xicheng Taishou Shenyi.
Shen Yi saw that Zhang Fei meant something, and when he asked about the topography of the three eastern counties, he couldn't help but show a little weakness on his face.
He then arched his hand to Zhang Fei and said, "General Right knows the subtleties and has his own opinions, so he doesn't dare to speak falsely."
Looking at the honest Xicheng Taishou in front of him, Zhang Fei looked at him carefully with his eyes.
Facing Zhang Fei's tiger-like gaze, Shen Yi was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.
Zhang Fei followed Liu Bei to fight for decades, and in his early years, he and Guan Yu were called the world's enemies.
In the first battle of Dangyang that year, Zhang Fei led more than 20 cavalry to resist Cao Cao's thousands of cavalry after Liu Bei was broken.
On the Dangyang Bridge, the Cao army was crowded, Zhang Fei broke the bridge according to the water, and a loud shout frightened the large number of Cao Cao's army not to come forward.
This bought Liu Bei time to retreat, and since that battle, Zhang Fei's name of bravery has resounded all over the world.
After entering Jingzhou, Zhang Fei defeated Cao Wei's famous general Zhang He in Ba County, which is not far from the three eastern counties.
In order to escape for his life, Zhang He had to give up his war horse and climb the mountain and escape, and only led more than ten of his subordinates to flee to Nanzheng.
This undoubtedly makes Zhang Fei's prestige even more remarkable.
Before facing Zhang Fei's prestige, Shen Yi, who was from a local clan, did not dare to show no at all
Respect.
In the face of Shen Yi's awe, Zhang Fei, who respected the doctor, did not embarrass him too much, he just continued to say to Shen Yi on the side:
"From the topography of the three eastern counties, it can be seen that what Liu Feng and Meng Da said before that they did not send troops to rescue the former general because they were worried about the invasion of foreign enemies is completely nonsense, and their hearts can be punished."
Zhang Fei has a rough face, but he is a meticulous person in his heart.
After he led the army to Xicheng County, Xicheng Taishou Shen Yi was very surprised by Zhang Fei's army, which suddenly surrendered.
Coupled with Liu Bei's great situation at this time, Shen Yi had no intention of rebelling against Liu Bei, so after Zhang Fei showed Liu Bei's edict, Shen Yi immediately opened the city to welcome Zhang Fei's army into the city.
But unexpectedly, Zhang Fei did not mean to stay, he ordered Shen Yi to come to meet him in the ship, and after Shen Yi did not doubt that he did so, Zhang Fei directly took Shen Yi to continue to march towards Shangyong.
Zhang Fei knew that Liu Bei ordered him to lead his troops to the three eastern counties, in order to stabilize the situation in the three eastern counties and support Guan Yu.
In order to complete Liu Bei's order, Zhang Fei directly took Xicheng Taishou Shenyi down the river in the army.
The Shen clan is the largest wealthy family in the three eastern counties, as long as the Shen brothers have no chance to rebel, then the situation in the three eastern counties is naturally peaceful.
Zhang Fei's method is straightforward, but it is very effective.
Shen Yi naturally knew Zhang Fei's thoughts, but he didn't have the heart to rebel at the moment, so he was not dissatisfied with Zhang Fei's approach.
Not long after, with Zhang Fei's army galloping down the river in a warship, Zhang Fei's army had already appeared outside Shangyong City.
After Zhang Fei's army appeared outside Shangyong City, Meng Da in Shangyong City received the news, and in the face of Zhang Fei's sudden surrender, he was suddenly frightened.
In the city of Chengdu before, there were his clansmen who secretly communicated secret letters for him.
Yan Liu Bei was furious in the face of him and Liu Feng's move of not sending troops to rescue Guan Yu, and had already sent the right general Zhang Fei to lead the army to capture him and Liu Feng.
….
After receiving this letter, Meng Da was naturally afraid in his heart.
He knew very well what he had done since he took the three counties of Shangyong.
A few months ago, Guan Yu sent an envoy to Shangyongzhong and ordered Liu Feng to send troops to aid him with the power of the false Jieyue.
At that time, Liu Cover already had the idea of sending troops to Guan Yu's order.
It was because he was angry that Liu Feng invaded his tomb, and in order to frame Liu Feng, he advised Liu Feng to plan for the future, support the army and respect himself, and not send troops to aid Guan Yu for the time being.
At that time, Guan Yu's triumphant songs were played frequently, and on the surface, he didn't really need the assistance of Liu Feng's army.
Therefore, in the face of Meng Da's persuasion to take the position of the crown prince as a temptation, Liu Feng's ghost agreed to Meng Da's suggestion.
After that, Guan Yu sent envoys several times to urge Liu Feng to send troops, but Liu Feng refused to send troops on the grounds of internal instability in the three eastern counties.
The reason why Meng Da suggested Liu Feng like this was that he did not have the heart to rebel against Liu Bei, nor did he have a personal grudge against Guan Yu.
At that time, Guan Yu was victorious, and he didn't expect that Guan Yu would fall into a crisis in an instant.
Meng Da originally thought that when Liu Bei found out about this in the future, Liu Bei would punish Liu Feng for this to vent the hatred in his heart.
In the case of Guan Yu's big victory, Liu Bei's punishment of Liu Feng, who was in a good mood, would not implicate him, the deputy general.
But what I never expected was that the follow-up series of developments far exceeded Meng Da's expectations.
In the end, he and Liu Feng completely angered Liu Bei because of their selfish actions, so that he and Liu Feng had no room to turn around.
Thinking that Zhang Fei's army had arrived outside the city, Meng Da was anxious like an ant on a hot pot.
After receiving the report, he thought about putting him to death and resurrecting him, but Zhang Fei came too quickly, and his arrangement was not completed at all.
Nowadays, Shangyong is too shou Shen Tan is loyal to Liu Bei, and most of the military power of the army in the city is in the hands of Liu Feng.
At this time, he rashly launched a rebellion, without the cooperation of Shen Tan and Liu Feng, he was simply self-defeating
Finding a way to die.
Thinking that Fa Zheng was still there, Meng Da, who had a plan, immediately ordered someone to summon his nephew Deng Xian and ask him to take the thorns.
...
In the palace of the deputy army general in Shangyong City, there was a young general in his thirties, who was enjoying music in the hall of the palace.
This young general is none other than Liu Feng, the deputy army general.
Liu Feng has a strong personality and believes that he is the son of Liu Bei, so he has always been arrogant.
After he pacified the three eastern counties together with Meng Da, Liu Feng despised Meng Da a lot because he was a general.
With disdain in his heart, Liu Feng used his identity to invade the tomb.
Not long ago, Liu Feng forcibly snatched Meng Da's drum band.
Meng Da is the same as Fa Zheng, although he fled from Guanzhong to Yizhou because of refuge, both of them are children of Guanzhong families.
As a child of a family, after Meng Da stabilized in Yizhou, he spent a lot of money to build a good music advocate based on his past memories.
And Liu Feng is not from a high background, since he was in Meng Da's mansion, he liked Meng Da's drum band after listening to Meng Da's drum team play once.
In order to satisfy his selfish desires, Liu Feng relied on his identity and robbed Meng Da's advocacy to entertain himself.
….
When bursts of pleasant music came into Liu Feng's ears, Liu Feng's face showed a look of intoxication.
Because he was intoxicated by the music, Liu Feng temporarily forgot his anger at losing the position of crown prince.
And just when Liu Feng was intoxicated, his personal guard suddenly stumbled in from outside the hall.
"It's not a good thing, General."
After Liu Feng's guards broke into the hall, they immediately shouted at Liu Feng.
Liu Feng, who was interrupted and intoxicated, instantly showed anger on his face, and he scolded the guard angrily, "Why are you so alarmed!"
Even in the face of Liu Feng's reprimand, thinking of that person coming, Liu Feng's personal guard still couldn't hide the horror on his face.
He knelt on the ground and reported to Liu Fengyu, "The right general has rushed in with the army!"
"The right general is ordered by the king to capture the general!"
After hearing the guards say this, Liu Feng's face also showed surprise.
"Uncle, uncle!"
At this time, the guards boldly suggested that Liu Feng lead the troops to resist, otherwise everything would be over if it was too late.
Unexpectedly, after Liu Feng heard this, he immediately got up and drew his sword to kill the guard, and he said with hatred in his mouth: "How can a son betray his father!"
And after hacking this guard to death, the door outside the hall was instantly slammed open, and hundreds of elite soldiers rushed into the door, and it was Zhang Fei who led these hundreds of elite soldiers.
After Zhang Fei broke into the door, he instantly saw Liu Feng standing with a knife in the hall, and the band that had just finished playing in the hall.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Fei thought that Guan Yu was still fighting bloodily in Xiangfan, and Liu Feng, who was regarded as a reinforcement by Liu Bei, was drunk and dreamed of death here.
A cold color appeared on his face, and he said coldly to Liu Feng, "Feng'er is too happy?"
At this time, behind Zhang Fei, Meng Da, who was shirtless and carrying a thorn, stepped forward and pointed to the propaganda in the hall, whispering something to Zhang Fei.
After listening to Meng Da's story, the chill on Zhang Fei's face was even worse.
And Liu Feng had already led the troops to him before and after Zhang Fei, and he had no rebellious heart, so he did not resist.
He threw the long sword in his hand to the ground, and then knelt straight in front of Zhang Fei.
...
In December of the twenty-fourth year of Han Jian'an, Zhang Fei, the general of the right Han Dynasty, came to the three eastern counties in person, captured Liu Feng and bound Meng Da.
In the same month, Zhang Fei rectified the soldiers and horses of the three eastern counties, gathered a total of more than 10,000 elite soldiers and horses of the headquarters, broke through the three defense lines of Cao Wei, and went down the river to the outside of Xiangyang City.
