Chapter 24: Turmoil

Father Liu Bei Liu Xuande entered Chang'an City!

How is this possible? In my memory, my father did not step into Chang'an half a step in his life, and taking Hanzhong was already the peak of his life.

Zhuge Qiao and I deduced the Battle of Chang'an on paper over and over again, but we couldn't help but reassess the abilities of my father and brother Liu Shengzhi.

In this battle, Liu Shengzhi made great contributions.

At that time, Cao Cao had returned to Yecheng, and Chang'an was guarded by Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He. Xiahou Yuan attacked the center of the Han Dynasty and raised troops, but he was blocked by the danger of Yangping Pass, and finally returned in vain. At this time, a group of Fufeng people arranged by Liu Shengzhi (the stepfather who married him in Hanzhong was the Fufeng people) came out of the Meridian Valley and was captured by Xiahou Yuan's subordinates. After learning about the Meridian Valley Road, Xiahou Yuan ordered Zhang He to secretly attack the Meridian Valley, and he plundered the people everywhere as soldiers, forming a brigade, known as 200,000, and personally led the feint to attack Yangping Pass. Zhang He was reluctant to go, and Xiahou Yuan gave the order and had to go.

A small stream in the meridian valley is knee-length, the midsummer is coming, it is extraordinarily happy, the soldiers are happy, seeing into Hanzhong, suddenly the water is rushing to the sky, thousands of military horses are fish and turtles - but it is the Han army in the upper reaches of the barrier, impounding water to flood. Zhang He abandoned his men and horses to climb the mountain and fled, and the Han soldiers, led by Wei Yan, rushed down the river on a raft and went out of the Meridian Valley to the outside of Chang'an City.

At this time, my father had accumulated troops for a long time, highlighting Yangping, Huang Zhong and Pang De came out with two swords, beheaded Xiahou Yuan under the horse, and the Chinese army retreated. When the recruits were defeated, they fled, and tens of thousands of horses were scattered. My father went out to attack on a large scale, out of the old road of Chen Cang, breaking Baoji and helping the wind.

Cao Jun supervised Du Xian, Sima Guo Huai retreated several cities, unable to hold a foothold, and heard that there was a Han army outside Chang'an City, and his heart was uneasy, so he fled to Chang'an in the starry night. Exhausted, from dusk to morning, they returned to the city. Du was furious and ordered the city gate to be closed, and suddenly some of the tired soldiers shouted: "Nan'an Pound is here!" "The sword slashed Du under the horse. Guo Huai made people attack Pang De and abandoned the city.

Pang De resisted dozens of people with a knife, the door could not be closed, the thunderclap sounded, Wei Yan's elite soldiers had entered the city, and Chang'an had entered the hands of the Han army.

Chang'an, its symbolic meaning is far greater than its actual effect. This is the imperial capital of the Western Han Dynasty, the birthplace of the ancestral dragon, and when you get Chang'an, there seems to be a sigh that the world is in your hands. But in fact, Chang'an City at this time was just an empty city, and after several conquests and killings by Dong Zhuo, Guo Li, Ma Chao and others, the population of Chang'an City dropped to less than 10,000.

Deducing the battle against Chang'an, a figure flickered in my heart.

Father, am I underestimating him? In fact, although he is less strategic, he is good at employing people, good at judging things, and has the incomparable courage and perseverance of the overlord. He and Mr. Kong Ming are together, they can be called like fish in water, from a small new field to a third of the emperors in the world; And after his death, although Kong Ming led the inside and outside, and was a genius, he did not achieve any great victory. Could he really be a hidden dragon? Thinking of his words about employing people, I can't help but think like this. The more time I spent with him, the more I found that there were so many things in him that I didn't have. However, this respect is no reason for me to forgive him. If he can read people, why can't he see his own son clearly?

Huang Hansheng finally completed his historical mission and beheaded Xiahou Yuan, but unfortunately half of the credit was shared by Pang De.

In another time and space, Wei Yan had planned to leave the Meridian Valley, but was denied by Kong Ming. Whether this plan can succeed or not, everyone has always held their own opinions, argued endlessly, but after that, I don't have to worry about this, Zhang He entered the Meridian Valley defeat, Wei Yan out of the Meridian Valley victory, between this victory and defeat, it seems to indicate the ruthlessness and ruthlessness of the soldiers.

Pang De rode alone for hundreds of miles, and once again took Chang'an (the first time was under Ma Chao, pretending to be a resident of Chang'an City). Make a great contribution. I am not surprised that this person I had set out to kill could achieve such a feat. Among the generals, because he had been by Zhang Lu's side, he had a good relationship with me, and when I was sick, he also visited me, and the most peculiar life experience was this. In addition, I don't understand a little bit, why my father is unwilling to reuse Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi, who is known as the general of Shenweitian, but he is willing to trust this Pang De who came to him, but it is this trust that has made Pang De I famous.

In the midst of this group of people, I faintly saw the shadow of Liu Shengzhi. It seems that Liu Shengzhi is by no means an idle person, and the person who can come up with a way to set up an ambush and lure the enemy in Meridian Valley will definitely not be a mediocre person. I suddenly thought that my father made Liu Shengzhi the son, it wouldn't be as simple as him being older than me, and I didn't dare to think about these strategies from Chang'an. Because I think that it is impossible for soldiers to go out of Hanzhong before I succeed to the throne, and my so-called knowledge of history is a restriction in this changed time and space. In the same case, I didn't think about surrendering Pound, but I was going to kill him in a rush of blood.

So--will Lu Meng's capture of Jingzhou change?

I broke out in a cold sweat.

At this time, Cao Cao in the north was also a little caught off guard in the face of his strong father and Guan Yu. At this time, his forces were too scattered: the First Army, led by his son Cao Zhang, was suppressing the rebellion of Daigun Karasuma on the northern border; Xiahou Yuan, Zhang He and others were defeated by their fathers; Cao Hong led the army alone to defeat Zhang Fei and Ma Chao, two tiger generals, and beheaded the opponent's general Wu Lan in battle, forcing Zhang and Ma to temporarily withdraw their troops, but the pressure on Zhang and Ma was by no means so comfortable; Wancheng in the jurisdiction of Cao Ren in the south also has turmoil from time to time, and it is still necessary to recruit the southern general to divide his troops to suppress; In order to deal with a potential sneak attack by Eastern Wu, the Hefei defense area also needed a large number of garrisons. For a while, there was no available general in the hands of King Chitose of Wei. All of a sudden, there was endless debate in the court about whether to go west or south, whether to move the capital or fight back.

Cao Cao finally made up his mind and sent Xu Huang, a general who had an excellent personal relationship with Guan Yu, as the main general to lead the army to attack Guan Yu in order to relieve the siege of Fancheng.

Guan Yu couldn't go down to Fancheng, and personally supervised the formation, but he was shot in the arm by Cao Ren's arrow, so he performed a good show of "scraping bones and healing".

Later generations thought that the doctor was Hua Tuo, but they didn't know that Hua Tuo had died in the thirteenth year of Jian'an. Otherwise, with his magic skills, a bag of hemp will boil down, and Guan Yu will not know who he is, let alone scraping the bones, even if he picks the heart, he will not know the pain.

Guan Yu is Guan Yu, and in the face of Jiancheng, he will never flinch. Sweeping away the Fancheng in front of him, he could go straight to Xudu with a horse and Pingchuan, and the bandits south of Xuchang rebelled, echoing him from afar, vowing to defect, and pushing the anti-Cao forces within Xuchang to conspire against Cao Cao. How can you give up all this? What's more, the eyes have fallen to the ban, and there are plenty of soldiers and horses, let alone this good opportunity that has never been before.

It's a pity that the grain and grass are not sufficient, it doesn't matter, Sun Quan's Xiangguan is also considered Jingzhou according to the county system, and it is enough to go there to collect grain and rice. --He doesn't care if the blue-eyed boy will be angry or not, he doesn't care about him anyway.

Originally, in my impression, Guan Yu was just careless, arrogant, and said something that shouldn't be said, that is, "Tiger Girl An can marry a dog". In this way, I also tried to analyze with Zhuge Qiao the possibility of peacefully resolving the Soochow issue. But then I found out that the contradictions between them had already reached the point where we could not solve them. Sun Quan can bear it, but after changing Zhang Fei, his brains are all out.

At this time, another news came that the prince Liu Ming and Liu Shengzhi went to Jingzhou with an army to help Guan Yu attack Fancheng.

My heart stirred. Well, the situation in Jingzhou is already chaotic, and with such a huge variable as him, I really don't know what it will become.

When Liu Shengzhi entered Jingzhou, the ceremonial staff was brilliant, eye-catching, the Biao army guarded, the civil and military forces promoted, Guan Yuchang held Liu Sheng's arm in one hand, and climbed the city wall together, and the army shouted together for a while, and the spirit was flying. Wang Rui went to see it, came back and said to me: "That's the young master's style, how can it be like you, there is no one to follow when you go out and enter the door." Shame on you. ”

I was silent for a moment and asked, "What do you think Liu Shengzhi is here?" ”

Zhuge Qiao shook his head and said: "If you talk about fixing the position, he is already the son of the world, is it possible that he is here to share the credit?" ”

Wang Rui said: "Divide the work? Guan Yunchang himself is difficult to protect, what kind of work, aren't you afraid of being captured alive when you come here? By the way, young master, if we arrange for the dead to assassinate Liu Shengzhi in the battle array, what do you think? ”

My face changed: "Never." ”

Wang Rui said: "I also talk casually. ”

Jiang Wei said: "We think that Guan Gong is difficult, but it is speculation. General Guan's name moved China, surrendered to the ban, defeated Cao Ren, pointed out by Feng Di, and the heroes were tied. I think the eldest son is here to share this name. ”

Zhuge Qiao said: "Surrender to the ban, defeat Cao Ren, Feng Di pointed out, the heroes are tied, hehe, Boyo, you didn't go to Guan Yu's men, you really bent your talent." Guan Yu listens to this, you recite it in his ear three times a day, and you are guaranteed to be promoted to an official. ”

After discussing for a while, I didn't know the essentials, but I heard the news that Jiangdong Lu Meng was seriously ill and appointed rookie Lu Xun as a partial general and the right governor. I said secretly, "Here we are." Therefore, according to what was said before, they still performed their duties, reorganized their armaments, and focused on the exercises of Soochow.

Not long after, Guan Yu, who had no worries, really gave an order to let Nanjun Taishou Mi Fang guard Jiangling, and the general Fu Shiren guarded the public security, and transferred people and horses everywhere, and traveled north, preparing to take Fancheng in one fell swoop, and then wave his troops to the north to pacify the Central Plains.

During this period, I asked Mi Fang to write a letter and asked Guan Yu to guard against Eastern Wu. Guan Yu naturally sneered and tore it up.

In this battle, Guan Yu met his fateful friend and enemy, Xu Huang. In front of this old friend who had a good relationship with Guan Yu, Guan Yu's prestige suddenly failed, and Xu Huang broke several villages in a row, lost the weir city, and had to stop the army. In order to attack Fancheng, Liu Shengzhi personally stood outside the camp tent to command, and he was up to the end of the night, and his morale was greatly shaken for a while, and he attacked the head of Fancheng several times. Cao Ren also climbed the city himself, personally risked the arrows and stones, supervised the decisive battle, and fought real fire inside and outside the city, and the dead gathered.

Time passed in this phase of stalemate.
