Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On August 22, the eleventh year of Jian'an, the sky above Dangyang was filled with a strong smell of blood.  When Liu Chuang led the Fei Xiong Wei and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to Changbanpo, the Dangyang War was coming to an end.  Both the Han army and the rebels suffered heavy casualties, and no one took much advantage.  The rebels are constantly increasing their troops, and the number of Han troops is also increasing.  When Liu Chuang arrived at Changbanpo, the strength of both sides had reached 80,000.  In just one day, both sides invested tens of thousands of troops.  The difference is that the rebel troops increased in an orderly manner; while Jingzhou's troops mostly acted spontaneously, leading to chaos.  During the war, cannibalism occurred frequently, so that the casualties were more heavy than those of the rebels.  This battle lasted for a full day, and it was not until sunset that both sides finally called back.  The entire Changban slope was dyed red with blood.  Liu Chuang rode on horseback, looking at the tragic scene of corpses strewn in front of him, he couldn't help but feel frightened.  Zhao Yun's blood-stained imperial robes came to Liu Chuang and knelt down on one knee, "The general failed to fulfill the prime minister's instructions, and Liu Jingzhou was killed because of his exhaustion. He deserves to die for his crime." He and Zhang Fei fought all day long, but they didn't  Win or lose.  "It's no wonder that Zhang Fei was lying in ambush by the Dangyang River, waiting for work; while Zhao Yun pursued him for hundreds of miles, and was trapped and exhausted.  In this way, even if Zhao Yun was slightly better than Zhang Fei, he was still weighed down by the fatigue of the long journey.  Although he fought desperately, he could not get rid of Zhang Fei's entanglement.  If Cao Zhang hadn¡¯t led the tiger and leopard cavalry to Changbanpo, the outcome of this bloody battle would have been uncertain.  Liu Chuang dismounted and Wen Yan comforted Zhao Yun.  Liu Biao¡¯s death is not to blame on Zhao Yun.  It can only be said that he is really unlucky.  Likewise, for this sudden decisive battle.  Neither Liu Chuang nor Zhao Yun were prepared.  If Wenpin hadn't arrived with his troops, Zhao Yun's Yafeng Cavalry would have been completely wiped out.  "Pang Shiyuan!" A name flashed in Liu Chuang's mind.  Pang Tong is good at using dangerous moves He and Zhuge Liang in history can be said to be two completely opposite personalities.  Zhuge Liang was cautious, while Pang Tong was bold.  The two nicknames of "Wolong and Phoenix" also fully demonstrate the characters of the two people.  Feng Chu has the spirit of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.  But sometimes.  Pang Tong's ability to use dangerous moves also destined him to a miserable end.  But this time, it was Pang Tong's continuous reinforcement of troops that stabilized the rebels' position.  If not, if he withdraws his troops, Liu Chuang will definitely take advantage of the victory and pursue him.  "What's the situation on the other side?" "The rebels are still increasing their troops" Yang Di and Lu Meng followed Liu Chuang around and heard Liu Chuang's inquiry.  Lu Meng stepped forward quickly and bowed to answer.  "According to reports from scouts, after the strike, two more rebel troops arrived, namely Xiang Lang, the commander of Linju, and Deng Kai, the commander of Jingling. It is reported that Pang Tong has issued a recruitment call in Jingling. They will arrive on the other side in the near future Now  The number of troops on the other side has increased to more than 50,000. "Xiang Lang?"  Deng Kai? ? Two relatively unfamiliar names.  It seems that Liu Bei has indeed won over many people in Jingzhou over the years.  In addition to the three troops of Bao Long, Liao Hua and Ma Liang who arrived on the battlefield during the day, the small Dangyang River has gathered a lot of capable people.  Liu Chuang couldn't help but smile bitterly.  Shake his head slightly.  I have to say that Pang Tong¡¯s timing to send troops was really great!  Liu Chuang has not yet controlled Jingzhou.  He was not the leader of all the troops in Jingzhou.  He brought less than 10,000 troops with him. Although he had 30,000 troops, at least two-thirds did not obey his orders.  In other words, he has a bunch of rabble in his hands If he wants to deal with the rebels, he must integrate these 30,000 troops.  But this is easier said than done.  Thirty thousand troops consume countless amounts of food and grass every day. Jingzhou is in a state of chaos. Who will provide this food and grass?  And Liu Chuang¡¯s army is expected to arrive in Xiangyang three days later.  To completely take over Jingzhou and form strong support for Liu Chuang, it will take at least five to seven days.  In other words, Liu Chuang must hold off the rebels here for seven days.  Otherwise, if the rebels take advantage of the situation and move north, Jingzhou will inevitably be in chaos, which will make the situation more complicated.  "Let's go back and discuss it." After Liu Chuang stopped at Changbanpo for a while, he led everyone back to Dangyang County.  +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Dangyang County is in chaos.  Rebel troops from all walks of life arrived, but Dangyang Ling was not prepared in any way, so that various problems arose during the resettlement.  After Liu broke into the city, he couldn't help but frown when he saw the chaotic situation.  But he did not attack immediately, but was accompanied by Zhao Yun and others.Entering the government office, go straight to the government office lobby.  "Prime Minister, you are here!" A handsome man in his early thirties came up to him and bowed to salute.  This man is eight feet tall and thin.  Wearing a bright yellow embroidered brocade shirt and a jade belt around his waist, he looked majestic and majestic.  When Liu Chuang saw this man, a smile immediately appeared on his face.  He waved Zhao Yun over, "Zilong, haven't you come to meet your senior brother yet?" Zhao Yun was startled and looked at the man in astonishment.  He studied under Tong Yuan, who had four disciples.  Except for Sun Shao, who is still studying with Tong Yuan, Zhang Xiu was killed by the Yingshui River. The only person who can be called a senior brother is Zhang Ren of Xichuan.  Could it be that this man is Zhang Ren?  Zhao Yun had heard Tong Yuan mention Zhang Ren, and also heard Liu Chuang talk about this person.  ??In Liu Chuang¡¯s words, Zhang Ren can be called the number one general in Xichuan and he is highly respected.  You know, Liu Chuang has many famous generals under his command, and Zhang Ren's ability to be praised by Liu Chuang further illustrates his ability.  It is for this reason that Zhao Yun was very impressed by Zhang Ren.  A few days ago, he had heard someone say that Zhang Ren came with Liu Zhang, the eldest son of Liu Zhang in Xichuan, to pay homage to Liu Chuang.  However, due to busy military affairs, Zhao Yun was not able to meet Zhang Ren after he arrived in Wancheng.  Zhang Song has already set off to return to Xichuan.  Liu Gao stayed in Luoyang and became a proton of the prime minister.  Originally, Zhang Ren also wanted to follow Zhang Song back.  I just heard that Zhao Yun led his troops to pursue him.  He was also excited, so he proposed to follow Liu Chuang to Jingzhou.  Who is Zhang Song?  The eyelids are extremely lively.  When Liu Chuang learned about Zhang Ren's identity.  Zhang Song noticed that Liu Chuang was very interested in Zhang Ren.  Coupled with the relationship between Zhang Ren and Brother Zhao Yun, Zhang Song will naturally not stop him.  Therefore, Zhang Ren temporarily took over the post of commander of the Feixiong Guard as the captain of Shesheng.  Originally, the commander of the Feixiong Guard was shared by Tai Shixiang and Jiang Ji.  But Taishi Ci passed away, and Taishi Xiang went to Lujiang to avenge his father.  As a result, Jiang Ji was the only one left in the Feixiong Guard.  But Jiang Jiebei is in terms of qualifications and ability.  Even the commander of the Flying Bear Guard seemed powerless.  The Flying Bear Guard is Liu Chuang's personal entourage and the close guard beside Liu Chuang. Their combat effectiveness is extremely amazing.  Without real ability, it would be difficult to convince Feixiong Wei.  ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡£  Now that Taishi Xiang left, Jiang Ji felt the difficulty.  His force.  Not outstanding.  When Taishi Xiang was here, Jiang Ji was mainly responsible for military discipline and logistics.  Now that Zhang Ren is temporarily in charge, Jiang Jiong is not dissatisfied, but is very happy He can see that Zhang Ren has real talent and learning.  Even if he and Tai Shixiang combined, they couldn't compare to Zhang Ren's talents.  At the beginning of Zhang Ren's reign, he ordered Fei Xiong to guard the army.  He traveled hundreds of miles in one day and one night, and showed extraordinary abilities, which earned him great praise from everyone in the Feixiong Guard.  This also made Liu Chuang very happy.  After Zhang Ren and Zhao Yun met, they did not exchange greetings.  He walked to Liu Chuang.  He whispered: "Prime Minister, it's very noisy inside." Liu Chuang nodded.  Indicating that he already knew, he walked into the lobby.  In the lobby, more than a dozen people were arguing, all of them blushing.  Dangyang Ling looked bitter and apologized to everyone from time to time.  ¡°It¡¯s no wonder that after these rebels arrived, they couldn¡¯t be effectively resettled.  Not to mention anything else, just the distribution of food and grass caused everyone's dissatisfaction.  Wenpin had an angry look on his face, while Kuai Qi and another young man stood aside and watched coldly.  Seeing Liu barging in, Wenpin and others quickly stood up, walked forward and bowed.  The actions of these three people also made those who were arguing shut their mouths, and everyone looked at Liu Chuang in surprise.  They didn't know that Liu Biao was dead and Liu Chuang had led his troops into Jingzhou.  Seeing Wenpin and others being so respectful, these people couldn't help but murmur in their hearts, not knowing Liu Chuang's identity.  "I am Liu Chuang, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty!" Liu Chuang entered the lobby and sat on the main seat without any ceremony.  Cao Zhangdianman stood behind Liu Chuang with his sword in hand, his face gloomy.  Liu Chuang?     Why is he here?  Everyone was shocked, and everyone showed doubts.  "Two things First, Liu Jingzhou was kidnapped by a traitor and was killed in Changbanpo last night. His body has been sent to Xiangyang, and the murderer of Liu Jingzhou was his clan member Liu Hu, who also fought yesterday  He was beheaded by General Zilong and his body was sent to Xiangyang. "Liu Biao, is he dead?"  There was a sudden commotion in the lobby, and everyone was talking non-stop.  "Everyone shut up"Liu Chuang frowned, stood up and shouted loudly, the sound was like a huge thunder, "Jing Shenggong was killed, Jingxiang was in turmoil.  This is the time when Jingzhou¡¯s survival is in danger. Since the princes have led the rebel army, they must be loyal people.  I have heard for a long time that Jingxiang is a place with outstanding people and talented people.  Little did I know that when I first took a look, I was really disappointed.  The princes came not to discuss the future of Jingzhou, but to argue endlessly about trivial matters, which is really chilling.  Nowadays, traitors are lurking in Jingnan. Instead of working together, the princes are quarreling over petty gains. How can we protect the peace of Jingxiang The previous performance of the princes has made me very disappointed.  "Liu Chuang's words immediately aroused everyone's dissatisfaction. "What did the Prime Minister say?  When I came here, I naturally had Jing Xiang in my heart.  "But the food and grass are insufficient and the troops are insufficient, how can we compete with the traitor?"  Liu Jingzhou was killed, but it was not the prime minister's turn to have any say in the Jingxiang matter.  I heard someone say that the Prime Minister had promised at the beginning that Jingzhou affairs would be governed by the people of Jingzhou.  The Prime Minister is not from Jingzhou, so why should he interfere in our affairs in Jingzhou?  " "Bold!  Wenpin was furious and stood up, "How dare Mr. Hao Zitai be so rude to the Prime Minister?"  "The speaker's name is Hao Pu, a native of Yiyang, Jingzhou. He is the leader of the Baizhi River. Liu Chuang waved his hand and motioned for Wenpin to sit down, and said with a smile: "Yes, I said that things in Jingzhou are governed by the people of Jingzhou.  But when I say this.  He said it as the governor of Youzhou.  Now, I am the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty.  I still believe that matters in Jingzhou should be governed by the people of Jingzhou.  The shores of the land are not the king's ministers, and the whole world is not the king's land.  Jingzhou is a state under the rule of the Han Dynasty. As the prime minister, I am interfering in the affairs of Jingzhou. What is wrong with interfering in the affairs of Jingzhou?  Duke Jingsheng has led Jingxiang for many years.  He still regards himself as a Han official.  This gentleman talks about Jingzhou and shuts down about the people of Jingzhou. Is it possible that this Jingzhou is not the territory of my Han Dynasty? Is it possible that the people of Jingzhou are not the people of my Han Dynasty?  Does this gentleman want to betray the imperial court?  " Haopun was speechless and his face was red. Liu Chuang showed disdain in his eyes. He snorted coldly, "A person like you is not worthy to sit with a noble scholar.  ???????????????????????????????¡ªToday, all of you are Han ministers. Since you are unwilling to admit your status as Han ministers, get out of here with me.  Don't make any noise here.  "You" Hao Pu was furious, pointed at Liu Chuang, gritted his teeth after a moment, turned and left. "Prime Minister" Wenpin never thought that Liu Chuang would be so straightforward. He just drove Hao Pu away. He just  When he was about to speak, Kuai Qi turned his head and looked at him. "Zhong Ye, don't worry, I believe the prime minister has made his own decision.  " The one who spoke was the young man next to Kuai Qi. He was also a descendant of the Xi family, one of the five major surnames in Jingzhou. His name was Xi Jian. Xi Jian and Wenpin were close friends. Wenpin's wife was also Xi Jian's cousin.  . In terms of relationship, Wenpin is Xi Jian's brother-in-law. However, Xi Jian is indeed the leader of the younger generation of the Xi family. Even Wenpin respects Xi Jian very much regardless of his age.  Much younger than him, but his knowledge was no less than that of Wenpin. The trainee was so confident that Wenpin closed his mouth. Liu Chuang didn't seem to care about Hao Pu's departure, but looked around at everyone present with his eyes revealed.  A hint of coldness: "Those who do not want to be Hanchen and want to leave can leave now.  But there are some things I want to make clear. The official position that the princes occupy now is my official position as a great Han Dynasty.  You can leave if you want, but you are no longer allowed to be officials of the Han Dynasty, and you are not allowed to take any soldiers with you.  I have said that at this point, I will not stop anyone from leaving, but if they want to stay, they need to obey my orders.  In the name of the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, a certain person took over the Dangyang war. Anyone who disobeys my general's orders will be killed without mercy.  " After Wenpin heard this, his heart moved. He seemed to understand what Liu Chuang meant, but he felt a little confused. At this moment, he suddenly heard a commotion outside followed by the cry of killing, Lu Meng hurried in and said loudly  "Prime Minister, Hao Pu, the commander of Zhijiang, wants to lead his troops to retreat from Dangyang. General Zhang Ren has learned the news and has led people to stop him. He also asked the Prime Minister to make a decision.  "Liu Chuang didn't seem to hear. He only looked at the people in the lobby, whispering to each other without saying a word. After Lu Meng finished reporting, he retreated to the side. Cao Zhangdianman and the other two were gearing up and eager to try. Wenpin took a breath of cold air,  Suddenly he understood what Liu Chuang meant: Killing the chicken to scare the monkeys! Liu Chuang drove Hao Pu away, just to let Hao Pu be the chicken that was killed However, Hao Pu also had more than 3,000 people, so this was not a riot.  It's a small matter. The shouts of killing outside are getting louder and louder. Liu Chuang sits in the hall, majestic.Move.  A few people seemed to have some thoughts, so they stood up and said with cupped hands: "We came here to rescue Liu Jingzhou. Since Liu Jingzhou is dead, we don't want to stay here and say goodbye!" After that, then  A few people walked out of the lobby in a few steps.  Liu Chuang seemed indifferent to the departure of those people, his eyes were slightly closed, as if he was asleep.  The shouts of killing suddenly stopped, and there was a silence in the lobby.  After a while, I saw those people coming back in a hurry. They wanted to return to their seats, but Liu Chuang waved his hand, and Dianman came forward with a few guards and took away the seats.  "I hate half-hearted people the most in my life. Now that you've left, don't come back This is a military camp, not your house. You can come when you want and leave when you want." Liu Chuang spoke slowly and leisurely, but with irresistible majesty.  .  At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the lobby. Zhang Ren's robe was stained with blood, holding a sword in one hand and a bloody human head in the other, striding up to the lobby.  "Prime Minister, Hao Pu, the commander of Youzhijiang, led his troops to try to rebel against Dangyang. General Mo learned the news and led the Fei Xiong Guards to stop him. Who knew that Hao Pu wanted to rebel, so General Mo had no choice but to order Fei Xiong Guards to stop him?  They were suppressed. Hao Pu was killed by the last general in the rebel army, and about 800 of them were killed or injured. The rest were captured and sent out of Dangyang by General Zilong and camped outside the city.  "In an instant, there was an uproar in the lobby.  Haopuna¡¯s three thousand soldiers and horses are not three thousand native chickens and dogs.  ??From the moment when the shouts of killing were heard to the end of the war, Hao Pu was killed and all three thousand soldiers and horses became prisoners My God, this Flying Bear Guard under Prime Minister Liu is so brave?  Even Wenpin was inexplicably shocked!  Last night, he saw the bravery of the Yafeng Cavalry. He originally thought that the Yafeng Cavalry's combat power was strong enough, but he didn't expect Liu Chuang's Flying Bear Guard In addition, Liu Chuang came here this time with the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and his combat power was estimated to be too.  Not too weak.  ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????  Liu Chuang opened his mouth and said: "What kind of crime is justice? Hao Pu conspired to rebel. The crime cannot be pardoned and he deserves to be killed Justice is not only innocent, but actually has meritorious service. Let's write it down and make a reward after this battle is over."  " Liu Chuang said, then stood up and waved his hand to signal Zhang Ren to stand down.  "I am really sad that Jing Sheng was killed. However, the leader of the thief is still alive, so this revenge must be avenged Now I am here to take charge of the war. Dangyang County will be handed over to Zian to take care of it from now on. Except for Dangyang  Except for the local soldiers and horses, all the other soldiers and horses left the county before dawn and camped outside the city. "Zi'an!" Kuai Qi felt happy and rushed out.  "Here." "Immediately send someone to inform Xiangyang and inform your father, asking him to try to solve the food and grass problem for me. From Xiangyang to Dangyang, the counties along the way must transport food and grass as soon as possible Zilong, I'm targeting you.  "Fengqi, protect our food route." In the battle at Dangyang, Yafengqi suffered heavy losses and was in urgent need of rest.  Zhao Yun understood Liu Chuang's intentions and had no dissatisfaction, so he stepped forward and bowed to accept the order.  "Ziwen's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Zhengyi's Flying Bear Guards, and Zhongye's troops camped at Changbanpo overnight. Tomorrow, I will go to Changbanpo in person to fight the rebels. All the troops will be stationed in the city.  Outside, follow Zi Lu and Zi Ming's orders Sir, the current situation is related to the future of Jingzhou. Please work together to avenge Jing Sheng. " Liu Chuang finished.  His eyes swept over everyone in the lobby.  Wen hired Kuai Qi and Xi Jian and quickly stepped forward to take orders.  As for the rest of the people, you looked at me and I looked at you, and at the same time they walked to the center of the hall and bowed.  "We are willing to be sent by the Prime Minister!"
