Chapter 228: Liu Bei's Surprise
In the end, Empress He went crazy because he couldn't stand the transformation from the queen mother to the prisoner, and it may be the best to face such an ending, Fan Xiwen doesn't have to worry about how to deal with Empress He so that he will not be criticized by the world, as for Luoyang Emperor Liu Wei, he will not dispose of it for the time being, but the jade seal in his hand is still handed over to the Jizhou army for safekeeping, and the schedule of Emperor Liu Xie's entry into Beijing is also on the desk.
After the First Army accepted Luoyang, things far exceeded Liu Ke's expectations, and in the end he could only order the First Army to rush back to Jizhou at full speed to participate in the battle, and Liu Ke personally led the Second Army and the Third Army to stay in Luoyang to reorganize the Luoyang garrison. Due to the previous providence, both the common people and the defenders were quite cooperative with Liu Ke's work, and as for those unwilling warriors, there was no way to launch a counterattack, because the providence restrained their violent activities, and no one was willing to do any armed action against the Jizhou army.
With the cooperation of Liu Ke and Guo Jia, the Luoyang scholars can only obediently shrink their heads and can't do anything at home, once someone comes forward, they will be hit by Guo Jia immediately, and the other party is such a scholar Guo Jia generally adopts the tricks of the secret yin people, and as a result, those who want to resist are Guo Jia's whole *, of course, Guo Jia also has the meaning of killing chickens and monkeys, and under Guo Jia's deterrence, the Luoyang scholars will no longer continue to be too naughty.
When he first took over Luoyang, the civil and military officials of the Luoyang Imperial Court were very uncooperative with Liu Ke, and all the yamen were in a state of non-work, and they were stupid as officials, because they couldn't do anything without them in the world, and they all hit Liu Ke's muzzle, forming an inspection team, and all the officials of the yamen who were not running were imprisoned, and then they made up a lot of charges and went to death.
If you want officials in Jizhou, kill a few officials with low loyalty and replace them with a few officials with high loyalty, no matter how you look at it, you think it is a valuable deal, and those who don't do it are fools. It's a pity that the officials in Luoyang were stupid, and in the end, most of the officials in the DPRK and China were imprisoned, and they came to their senses, it turned out that Fan Xiwen didn't care about them at all, and at this time they also remembered that there was a court in Jizhou, where there was a team, but it was too late.
After occupying Luoyang, the Beijing division must be moved to Luoyang, but the huge amount of work in it is indeed a little powerless, so Fan Xiwen simply transferred Xi Zhicai to be responsible for moving the capital, as for Fan Xiwen himself, he took the flight squadron and the first army of the first army that rushed back to Jizhou to Bohai County to join Li Andong and others, and after Bohai County solved the Youzhou army, he would wave the army again to join Fan Fengming, Liu Kecheng and others to launch the final blow to the Jizhou army.
After the jade seal arrived, Liu Xie drafted an edict in his capacity as the emperor and ordered Yuan Shu, Liu Yao and others to return to the county government, as for the annexation of the state and Youzhou, Liu Xie did not send anyone to go, and it was futile for Liu Xie to send people to this point, so why waste time. Moreover, Fan Xiwen has spent so much money, it is impossible for Ding Yuan and Liu Yu to return to the county unscathed.
Bohai County, Jizhou and Youzhou each gathered more than 100,000 troops to fight each other three times on the plain, and finally trapped the Youzhou Army firmly in Bohai County and couldn't move, but the Jizhou Army still couldn't take the Youzhou Army, the Youzhou Army General Liu Guanzhang held on to the death, Dian Wei and Xu Chu were not very good, although they were able to defeat the three, but it took a few hundred moves, and every time the battle reached the most critical moment, Liu Yu would always give the order to march, and then the two sides fought a melee, and there was no benefit.
Fan Xiwen brought people here to understand the situation, and immediately stood on tiptoe and wanted to scold Liu Bei for being despicable, but in the end he held back for the sake of prestige, but the indignation in his heart still made Fan Xiwen uncomfortable, so he gathered Jia Xu and Xu Shu together, and the three of them muttered in the tent for a long time, and finally there was a loud laughter in the tent, which made Fan Fenglin, Li Andong and others who were guarding outside couldn't help but shrink their heads, Xu Shu is not sinister, it is Fan Xiwen and Jia Xu who are insidious, look at the laughter, you know that Liu Guanzhang and the three of them will have a good life.
Two days have passed, and the Jizhou army still has no intention of continuing to fight, but the food and grass of the Youzhou army are not very sufficient. On this day, Liu Yude's scouts came to report that the Jizhou army suddenly dispatched frequently, and every day at least thousands of people quietly lurked in the nearby Fulong Mountain to dig stones, it seemed that they were preparing for a big attack, according to this posture, it is estimated that they want to finish the matter at one time. Thinking of the powerful and somewhat scary catapult of the Jizhou Army, Liu Yu's scalp was numb, and after thinking for a long time without results, Liu Yu could only invite Liu Bei to discuss countermeasures.
In the end, the conclusion was that the Jizhou army must be stopped from accumulating stones, because once the boulders collected by the Jizhou army launched the "stone sea tactic", then it would be too late to say anything. Halfway through, Liu Bei and the others also thought that there might be fraud in the middle, but no matter what the Jizhou army was trying to do, they were always right to collect boulders, so no matter whether the Jizhou army had a purpose or not, they had to stop them.
In view of the strength of Liu Guanzhang and the three of them, so this act of stopping the action of the Jizhou Army fell on Liu Bei, Liu Yu appointed Liu Bei as the general of Dangkou on the spot and then handed over to Liu Bei 5,000 soldiers and horses, Liu Bei was scolding Liu Yu in his heart for being cunning, but on the surface, he was moved, and the tears couldn't stop falling, I have to say that Liu Bei is a natural actor.
Liu Bei and Liu Yu encouraged each other again, and then Liu Bei retreated to rectify the soldiers and horses, and finally had his own arms after being mixed under Liu Yu for so long, Liu Bei felt sad in his heart! Before entering Liu Yu's big tent, Liu Bei was at most a general with no real power, and he belonged to the kind of goods who had to go to the side if there was a battle. Although Liu Bei boasted everywhere that he was a royal prince, he was not recognized by the imperial court and was an impostor. Liu Bei joined Liu Yu's command or Liu Bei recognized Liu Yu as his uncle, is it possible for the uncle to call his nephew to do something?
The next day, the Youzhou Army under the command of Liu Yu suddenly launched a fierce offensive towards the Jizhou Army, but looking at the momentum, they did not want to break through, although the offensive of the Youzhou Army was fierce, but it was still a little worse than the Jizhou Army, and soon the Jizhou Army temporarily took the initiative on the battlefield, and the Youzhou Army was defeated and retreated, but it was very strange that the Youzhou Army was still strong and unwilling to stop attacking, and it felt like collective suicide.
Looking at the unusual move of the Youzhou Army, Jia Xu smiled, and Fan Xiwen smiled, because it could only show what the Youzhou Army was covering.
In the final analysis, Fulong Mountain is a huge stone mountain, and there are countless boulders in it that can be mined, yes, it is mined. Since there are boulders and weeds, it looks bare, and the possibility of being able to ambush people is very low, which is why Liu Bei dared to accept Liu Yu's appointment.
"General, the quarrying troops of the Jizhou Army appeared in front, the number is about three thousand, and the second general has already rushed there with people." Liu Bei took 5,000 of his subordinates to take advantage of Liu Yu's split attack and quietly slipped to Fulong Mountain to attack the quarrying troops, the vanguard was the mature and steady Guan Erye, and Liu Bei personally took 3,000 people and the third brother Zhang Fei to slowly rush behind him, which was also a measure to prevent the enemy from suddenly appearing in an ambush and killing them all.
"Third brother, you take the scout troops to the surroundings to take a closer look, and after confirming that there is no Jizhou army around, we will go to connect with the second brother." Liu Bei turned back to Zhang Fei and said, Zhang Fei nodded sharply, and then waved his Zhangba spear and left the team with the scout troops.
Half an hour later, the scout came with the latest battle report, the Jizhou army formed a formation to defend the second general Guan Yu for a long time, Liu Bei, who got the news, couldn't help but feel a little surprised, Liu Bei was quite clear about his brother's situation, but now he said that he couldn't attack for a long time, how could Liu Bei not be surprised.
Surprised, Liu Bei asked the scout again for the reason, but the scout told Liu Bei an even more shocking news, that is, the general of the Jizhou army was a fierce general, a fierce general who could fight against Guan Yu without defeat. In fact, the scout still has a few words that he has not said, that is, the second general is not the opponent of the generals of the Jizhou army at all, and it is even very likely that he will be defeated.
"Sure enough, I came prepared," Liu Bei muttered quietly, although he didn't want to go a little in his heart, but when he remembered who the fierce general who could fight against his second brother Guan Yun, maybe he could also use his Liu Bei's personal charm to persuade him, so that he could have one more super powerful subordinate under his command, Liu Bei thought beautifully. Of course, the most important thing is that Liu Bei must go to support Guan Yu, otherwise it is very likely to chill the hearts of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and no one will mix with him in the future.
After making up his mind, Liu Bei led people to the place where the Jizhou Army quarryed in Fulong Mountain, and Liu Bei, who hurried over, knocked his jaw to the ground, and the situation in front of him was really a little unacceptable.
