Chapter Seventy-Three: The Battle of Yiling

Zhao Guang was responsible for guarding Liu Bei, and he couldn't go to rush and kill, so he had to watch others cut and kill.

Only then did Liu Bei beckon him to the front and asked, "Guang'er Divine Shooting, the widow saw it today, and he knew that there was really such a divine shooting." Even if General Huang is reborn, I am afraid it will be difficult to reach. How many steps can you reach with your arrow? ”

Zhao Guang unloaded the iron gall bow and offered it to Liu Bei with both hands, "Back to Your Majesty, the iron gall bow made by the last general is twelve stones, and the range can reach five hundred steps." The last general was just a little stronger, and he didn't dare to compare with General Huang's divine shooting. ”

Liu Bei exclaimed: "In the past, Lu Fengxian's powerful bow was only ten stones, and the range was only three hundred steps. You are far beyond today, you can really be said to be a hero from ancient times! Today you have shot the second general, and you have made the first contribution, and I have a good horse, which is given to you after the former Lu! ”

After that, let someone bring a tall horse covered in snow white and four hooves black and give it to Zhao Guang. Zhao Guang hurriedly knelt down to thank him, pulled the BMW, and couldn't put it down, which made Liu Bei laugh.

In this battle, Dongwu suffered a big loss, and lost Gan Ning and Pan Zhang, two generals, and retreated to Jiangzhu in defeat. Liu Bei led the three armies forward, occupied the Yaoting, and rewarded the three armies.

That night, Mi Fang and Fu Shiren saw the defeat of the Wu army, so they killed Ma Zhong and came to the pavilion to present Ma Zhong's head, intending to surrender. Liu Bei did not allow it, and immediately ordered Guan Xing to set up Guan Gong's spiritual seat in the imperial camp. Liu Bei personally held Ma Zhong's head and offered sacrifices. He also ordered Guan Xing to cut Mi Fang and Fu Shiren with knives to sacrifice Guan Gong.

At this point, Guan Erye's enemies were all executed, and Guan Xing's revenge was over.

This battle shook loudly, and the people in Jiangnan were all frightened, crying day and night. Sun Quan had no choice but to send someone to ask for peace again.

Ma Liang took the opportunity to play: "Your Majesty, now Guan Gong's enemies are all poked, and the hatred has snowed." Cheng Bing, the doctor of Wu, came and was willing to return Jingzhou, send back Mrs. Sun, form an alliance forever, and try to destroy Wei and wait for the holy decree. ”

Liu Bei disagreed, and insisted on destroying Eastern Wu, taking Sun Quan's head, and even beheading him. Everyone advised hard, and Cheng Bingyi was spared from death.

Cheng Bing went back to report the situation to Sun Quan, and Sun Quan was distressed. At this time, Kan Ze strongly recommended Lu Xun and was willing to protect it with the whole family! Sun Quan then changed Lu Xun to be the commander. Lu Xun arrived at the Yaoting Pavilion and handed down the order, teaching the generals to defend everywhere, guard the passes, and not underestimate the enemy.

Liu Bei gathered soldiers and horses in Yaoting, but there were too many people and horses, and it stretched to the mouth of the river, connecting 700 miles, and 40 camps before and after. During the day, the flag covers the sun, and at night, the sky is lit by fire.

Zhao Guang knew that this was one of the reasons for the defeat, but others were soft-spoken, and it was useless to say it, so there was nothing to do.

The news of the change of commander in Soochow reached Liu Bei, who heard that Soochow used Lu Xun as the governor of the capital, the commander-in-chief of the army and horses, and ordered the generals to guard the danger and not to fight. Although Ma Liang said that Lu Xun should not be underestimated, Liu Bei disdained this, and personally led the front army to attack various Guanjin passes.

Before Liu Bei led his troops to the pass, he asked the soldiers to insult and fight, no matter how ugly the scolding was, Lu Xun asked the soldiers to stick to it and not to fight. Liu Bei ordered Zhao Guang to come forward to help in the battle and sent soldiers to attack. Zhao Guang used a series of arrows to shoot the Wu soldiers on the wall, and they didn't dare to raise their heads, but the other party used a big shield to protect them, and kept throwing stones, gold juice, and giant trees into the city. The pass was extremely steep, and the Shu army could not attack it no matter what.

Liu Bei had no choice but to stop. Zhao Guang came to ask for guilt, but Liu Bei said: "You alone suppress the enemy army at the head of the wall, what is the crime?" Zhao Guang retreated with peace of mind.

Ma Liang also admonished: "Lu Xun has a deep strategy. This is a way to wait and see what happens. Liu Bei scoffed, "It's just cowardice and cowardice, and I don't dare to fight!" ”

The two armies confronted each other, and the weather gradually became hotter. Liu Bei then ordered all battalions to move to a place with lush mountains and forests, and stationed beside streams and streams to avoid the hot summer, and wait until autumn before attacking. Ma Liangjin said that this move was dangerous, but Liu Bei did not listen. Ma Liang had to draw a map of the terrain of the barracks and personally send it to Zhuge Liang, hoping that he could come over as soon as possible and persuade Liu Bei.

After Ma Liang left, Liu Bei commanded all the water armies, went down the river, set up a water village along the river, and went deep into the Wu realm. Huang Quan admonished and hoped that Liu Bei would not stay in the front camp, but Liu Bei did not listen and divided the troops into two ways: Huang Quan was ordered to be in charge of the troops in Jiangbei; He was in charge of the armies in the south of the Yangtze River, set up camps in the Jiangjiang River, and prepared for a two-way attack.

Zhao Guang saw that the most dangerous situation was about to happen, but Ma Liang and Huang Quan were in high positions, and they didn't listen to Liu Bei's persuasion, so what could they do?

Zhao Guang calculated the time, today is the day when Lu Xun is going to carry out a fire attack. He couldn't help it, and was going to give it a reprimand anyway.

Zhao Guang raised for a long time and came up with a more secure method. Just when Liu Bei was about to go out, he deliberately blocked the door of the tent, turned his back to Liu Bei, and pretended to look at the fluttering flag in a daze.

After Liu Bei became the emperor, it was the first time that he was blocked by his courtiers. Before he could speak, the chamberlain beside him opened his mouth and scolded: "Be bold, dare to block Your Majesty's way, don't get out of the way quickly!" ”

Zhao Guang pretended to wake up from a dream, turned around and knelt down, and said, "Please forgive your majesty, the last general just remembered something, so he was in a daze." ”

Liu Bei liked a young talent like Zhao Guang, but he didn't get angry, and asked casually: "Oh, I don't know what you remember?" ”

Zhao Guang was waiting for this sentence, he forced his heartbeat, looked at Liu Bei with a firm gaze, and said his long-planned admonition: "Back to Your Majesty, the last general is wondering, when the Battle of Chibi was fought back then, was the southeast wind blowing like today?" ”

Liu Bei didn't understand at first, "Hehe, the Battle of Chibi, it was many years ago, and it was ...... at that time" Suddenly he knew what Zhao Guang was talking about, and his face suddenly sank, and he shouted: "Say, make your words clear!" ”

Liu Bei has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and he is the emperor of Shu Han, that kind of majesty is not something that ordinary people can resist, Zhao Guang was suddenly so frightened that he almost collapsed to the ground, but he still mustered up his courage, stammered, and said what he wanted to say.

"Your Majesty, it is the height of summer, the weather is dry, the left mountains of the Yiling River are densely forested, my army is stationed in the meantime, the first thing should be to prevent fire, if the fire starts, by the southeast monsoon, that is, it will become a prairie fire, the soldiers are tired of fighting for a long time, if they see the fire, they will collapse. The last general expected that the Wu army would not move, and there would be a conspiracy. He is not afraid, only fire attack, may Your Majesty think about it! ”

Liu Bei's brows gradually furrowed, and his expression was intriguing. Suddenly, he turned back to his tent, and urgently ordered the chamberlain to summon the herald and give an order: "Spread my message, order all battalions to cheer up, strengthen their vigilance, and cut down all the trees around the camp early tomorrow morning, prepare water for firefighting, and ...... No, no, no," Liu Bei shook his head, said three times in a row, and changed his words, "You only say to the generals of each battalion, the southeast wind is rising, be careful of the Wu army's attack!" ”

"That's right, that's right, just these ten words, the southeast wind rises, be careful of Wu's military attack, keep me firmly in mind, every time you go to a battalion, you have to read it aloud to me three times!"

"Do you understand?"

"Got it!"

The herald received the order, and quickly sent a few heralds out of the ranks, and after a brief explanation, they each held the token token, flew on their horses, and galloped away to Feng Xi, Zhang Nan and other troops stationed on the west bank of the pavilion.

Liu Bei was waiting anxiously in the imperial camp, while Zhao Guang was summoning the Imperial Forest Army and telling them to make every effort to prepare for the battle tonight. He was also equipped with bows and horses, and he had a spear in his hand, and he not only brought a few extra bags of arrows, but also ten short spears for throwing.

In the blink of an eye, it was the time of the first shift, and the southeast wind suddenly became stronger.

Suddenly, there was a fire in the left tun of the imperial camp, and before it could be saved, the right tun of the imperial camp caught fire again. The wind was tight, the trees were on fire, and the shouts were loud.

Suddenly, the soldiers and horses of the Liangtun Wu army rushed over and killed the imperial camp. Fortunately, Zhao Guang had already prepared, and when he gave an order, bows and arrows came out, and arrows rained down, and the offensive of the Wu army suddenly stalled.

Zhao Guangda shouted, held a spear, and led the imperial camp army to rush towards the Wu army. The horses' hooves were like thunder, unstoppable, and the Wu army was suddenly rushed into chaos. A general waved his knife and shouted, trying to stop the chaos, Zhao Guang saw it in his eyes, felt out a short spear, and threw it with all his might. The spear is like a meteor, hitting the opponent's chest. That Wu general was Xu Sheng, who stabbed at the key point, opened his mouth to speak, but planted his horse. Wu Jun saw that Xu Sheng was dead and had no command, so he suddenly became a mess and trampled on each other, and the number of dead was unknown.

Zhao Guang fought for a while, worried about Liu Bei's safety, and hurriedly returned to the imperial camp. Liu Bei saw that Zhao Guang had already repelled the Wu army, and ordered: "This time the Wu army poured out, although our army has issued a warning, it is still a little late. Now the enemy is dark and we are clear, and the imperial camp is too far forward, and there is a risk of being besieged. Pack up your troops and retreat as soon as possible. ”

Zhao Guang hurriedly received the order, gathered the Imperial Forest Army, hugged Liu Bei, and retreated backwards.

When I arrived at Feng Xi's camp, I found that it was also full of fire, and the battle was in full swing. Zhao Guang hurriedly led the Imperial Forest Army to rush in, and the Wu army was immediately disrupted by this sudden attack. The two armies encircled each other and killed each other so that they could not form an army.

Zhao Guang rushed in and saw Feng Xi fighting with Wu General Ding Feng at a glance. He immediately bent his bow and shot an arrow, his sword was like a meteor, hitting Ding Feng's lower back, Na Ding Feng screamed in pain, his body was weak, and he was stabbed to death by Feng Xi taking the opportunity to shoot him.

The two sides repelled the Wu army, and together Feng Xi saw Liu Bei and stepped forward to accuse him, although he had received a warning, but the Wu army came too quickly and was still set on fire by them.

Liu Bei sighed and comforted: "This is all my fault, and it has nothing to do with Aiqing." ”

The two armies joined together and continued to retreat. At this time, most of the camps in the south and north of the Yangtze River were on fire, and although the Wu army attacked secretly, it did not completely gain the upper hand, and the battlefield was stalemate.

Zhao Guang led the Imperial Forest Army, retreated all the way, helped other battalions to kill and retreat the Wu army, and the team joined together and continued to retreat. Then he joined Zhang Bao and Fu Tong and marched together.

After retreating to Ma'anshan, I met Guan Xing's team again, and several groups of people and horses met together, with a total of 30,000 or 40,000 people. Seeing that Liu Bei was safe and sound, Zhao Guang had some itchy hands and wanted to lead his troops to kill him. But as the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, how could he leave Liu Bei casually!
