    The Huang family of Jiangxia is one of the five major surnames in Jingzhou.  However, after the death of Huang Zu, Huang Chengyan and his family left Jingzhou, and the Huang family in Jiangxia fell into the embarrassing situation of being leaderless and falling apart.  ??Among them, there are reasons why the elites have been lost, and there are also reasons why Liu Biao suppressed them.  In short, in the past few years, the Huang family has been in decline and is no longer as prosperous as it used to be.  After Liu Bei arrived in Jiangxia, although he maintained respect for the Huang family on the surface, he actually did not take the Huang family seriously.  Who else is Huang now?  Especially after Huang Chengyan left, the Huang family's background was greatly weakened, and there was no one who could use it.  ¡°Unexpectedly¡­¡± Although Huang Chengyan left Jingzhou, he was still the head of the Huang family.  Over the years, Huang has worked hard to manage Liaoxi and has achieved some scale.  Huang Chengyan secretly continuously transferred the elites among Huang's children from Jiangxia and sent them to Yanjing Academy and Nanshan Academy to study.  At this point, instead of being weakened, the Huang family became stronger.  Especially the relationship between the Huang family and Liu Chuang, it is also destined that Liu Chuang will pay more attention to the Huang family.  Now, when Liu Chuang enters Jingzhou, the Jiangxia Huang family will naturally not stand idly by.  After Liu Biao's death, the Huang clan immediately contacted Liu Chuang and made arrangements to welcome the Han army to cross the river.  Youdao is that a lean camel is bigger than a horse. With the help of the Huang family, Ma Chao crossed the river without any effort.  After he captured Xiaji, he immediately sent his troops northward and captured Xiling in one go.  At this time, Liu Chuang stationed troops at Linju, while Pang Tong supervised the battle in Dangyang.  Jiangxia's troops are empty. Although Guan Yu is in charge, he has to resist the joint attack of Huang Zhong and Li Tong.  There is no way to care about the safety of Jiangxia Xiling was lost.  It is also equivalent to cutting off the communication between Guan Yu and Dangyang.  Ma Chao immediately ordered Ma Dai to march west to capture Anlu.  He led his own elite troops to the north and cooperated with Huang Zhong and Li Tong to attack Guan Yu.  The situation in Jingzhou has changed again.  Guan Yu was surrounded by enemies on three sides, and even with the courage of an overlord, it would be difficult to resist him.  Not to mention Ma Chao's extraordinary bravery, Huang Zhong alone made it difficult for Guan Yu.  In addition, Li Tong's soldiers were like gods and he was surrounded by enemies on three sides. Guan Yu was defeated miserably at Green Forest Mountain.  Retreat to Nanxin City.  According to Huang Zhong¡¯s idea, he should pursue the victory.  Although Nanxin City has a ¡®city¡¯, it is not the ¡®city¡¯ of later generations.  The so-called Nanxin City is a trade bazaar between Jiangxia and Nanjun. Its scale is not large, only similar to the size of a lower county.  Huang Zhong believes that he can take advantage of the victory to pursue and completely defeat Guan Yu.  However, Li Tong stopped him.  "General, there is no need to rush to capture Nanxin City. Leaving Guan Yu behind will be more useful." Huang Zhong heard this.  He couldn't help but asked in surprise: "What do Wenda mean by this?" Li Tong smiled and said: "Today, the prime minister is in Jingzhou and has begun a decisive battle. If Guan Yu is destroyed, the Dangyang rebels will no longer be involved.  They will inevitably attack Dangyang, but if Guan Yu is left, how can Pang Tong sit back and ignore it, not to mention the close relationship between Guan Yu and Liu Bei. If he attacks at this time, there is no guarantee that Guan Yu will not fight to the death and ambush the rebels.  The more we need to rescue Guan Yu, the less pressure our lord will have on Dangyang. Once our lord wins in Dangyang, it won¡¯t be too late to capture Guan Yu.¡± Huang Zhong nodded after hearing this.  "Then based on Wenda's opinion, what should we do?" Li Tong thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "I led my troops to besiege Nanxin City and asked General Huang to capture Yundu immediately, and General Meng Qi to station troops in Anlu. I got the news.  , General Zilian has raised troops from Luoyang, Yuan Rang and Zihe Zixiao have divided their troops into three groups and advanced towards Jingzhou. We want to hold back the rebel forces before the army enters Jingzhou. We want to make Guan Yu feel hopeful, and even more so, Pang Tong.  I believe that if there is a possibility of rescue, the outcome of this battle can be determined within ten days at most!" Huang Zhong is proud, but that doesn't mean he doesn't understand the general situation.  After hearing Li Tong¡¯s plan, he agreed without saying a word.  Immediately, the Han army was divided into three branches. Li Tong led his troops to besiege Nanxin City, while Huang Zhong and Ma Chao stationed at Yundu and Anlu respectively.  Guan Yu's defeat in Nanxin City also made Pang Tong feel a little anxious.  The Han army's offensive was so fierce, and they were assisted by local powerful people.  Originally, he wanted to attack Changbanpo with all his strength and completely defeat Liu Chuang.  But now that Guan Yu was trapped, Pang Tong had to divide his troops for rescue.  He immediately ordered generals Bao Long and Deng Kai to lead their troops to attack to capture Yundu.  Unexpectedly, he was ambushed by Huang Zhong on the way, and all eight thousand reinforcements were wiped out. Bao Long was killed by Huang Zhong in the rebel army, and Deng Kai fled in embarrassment.  "Ji Chang, if you continue to rush for help, I'm afraid the situation in Dangyang will change." When Guan Yu sent people to ask for help again, Pang Tong said:Next, discuss with Ma Liang.  It is obvious that the Han army planned to encircle the point for reinforcements and contain its own troops.  According to Pang Tong's wishes, he ignored Guan Yu and just attacked Dangyang.  Liu Chuang was defeated, and the siege of Nanxin City was naturally resolved.  It is definitely not a proper solution to rescue Nanxin City now.  Ma Liang smiled bitterly upon hearing this, "How could I not know this truth? It's just that Duke Xuande sent people to urge us repeatedly to rescue the second general." Pang Tong lightly slapped his forehead and asked after a while: "Then who do you think is suitable?" Ma Liangdao  : "Of course it is most appropriate for Uncle Zhi to go." "But if Uncle Zhi goes, we will have one less general here, so he is not the best choice." "That Shiyuan thought" "It is better to ask the three generals to come forward.  "Although Zhang Fei has a violent temper, he is not confused about important matters.  Ma Liang thought for a while and agreed Although Zhang Fei bowed to Pang Tong before, it did not mean that he really surrendered.  Judging from the previous attacks, Zhang Fei still had his own ideas.  Such a person staying in Dangyang will not be beneficial to Pang Tong's command.  Ma Liang thought for a while, nodded and said: "Then let the three generals go to the rescue." ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++  +++++++++++ After receiving the order, Zhang Fei hesitated, but did not refuse.  At this moment, he ordered his troops and approached Anlu.  After getting along with Guan Yu for so many years, although the two brothers had their differences, at the critical moment they  Zhang Fei still wanted to rescue Guan Yu.  With Guan Yu's ability.  In the short term, it can be guaranteed that Nanxin City will not be breached.  That being the case.  Zhang Fei decided to adopt the strategy of surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao and attacked Anlu.  If he succeeds in capturing Anlu, he can approach Xiling At that time, the Han army will naturally come to rescue him, and he can imitate the Han army's previous methods and ambush the Han army on the way.  In this way, the siege of Nanxin City will be naturally lifted.  It has to be said that Zhang Fei is indeed somewhat scheming.  It¡¯s just that he didn¡¯t expect it.  Brothers Ma Chao and Ma Dai were prepared for his arrival.  In the middle of September of the 11th year of Jian'an, Zhang Fei made a sneak attack on Anlu, but was discovered by Ma Chao.  So Ma Chao took advantage of his plan and ordered Ma Dai to defend the city. He led his own elite soldiers to ambush on the bank of Jianshui River.  When Zhang Fei's troops were preparing to cross the river to attack, Ma Chao suddenly came out.  Zhang Fei was caught off guard and was severely defeated. He retreated twenty miles to stabilize his position.  Although not too many soldiers and horses were lost, they also lost their spirit.  And in Dangyang.  Pang Tong concentrated his troops and attacked Changbanpo again.  He wanted a quick victory.  But Liu Chuang stood firm and refused to fight easily.  The two sides were in a stalemate at the foot of Changban slope for two days. Although the Han army paid a huge price, the rebels could not advance even an inch.  Seeing that the morale of the sergeants was low, Pang Tong knew that he could not continue the attack.  In desperation, he had no choice but to order a suspension of the offensive and rest.  It¡¯s night, and the autumn rain is falling.  It started to rain lightly on Dangyang, causing the temperature to drop sharply.  It is about to enter the midwinter season, with autumn rain and cold Unknowingly, the Battle of Dangyang has lasted for nearly a month. The rebels attacked in mid-autumn and did not bring much clothing to keep out the cold.  Even Pang Tong was not prepared for this.  In the big tent, the lights flickered.  Pang Tong, Ma Liang and Chen Dao sat around, all silent.  "I never thought that the Han army would be so tenacious" Pang Tong sighed softly, "I just received news from the scouts that Xu Sheng has already set off from Liqiu and is approaching Dangyang. In other words, the Han army has been assembled and will soon enter Jingzhou  "Once the Han army moves in on a large scale, we may not be able to resist it." Chen Dao raised his head and asked, "What do you think of the military advisor?" "This time we are fighting in Dangyang to take advantage of Liu Chuang's unsteady footing and the unrest in Jingzhou."  Opportunity, chestnuts from the fire. But now, the fighter plane has disappeared. Even if we win in Dangyang, it can no longer affect the overall situation. The Lord is now blocked in Linju, and faces the Sichuan army from the west; instead of continuing to stalemate with the Han army here.  , it is better to retreat temporarily and defend Changsha. "I heard that Liu Pan borrowed troops and horses in Guiyang and was about to counterattack Changsha." When they heard the news, Chen Dao and Ma Liang were shocked.  "Liu Pan is in Guiyang, from whom did he borrow troops and horses?" "Jiaozhou Bu Stallion!" Pang Tong said with a wry smile: "That Bu Stallion is Liu Chuang Yuan's Cong, and Jiaozhou Shixie is a senior fellow apprentice with Liu Chuang. I also  Unexpectedly, the stallion actually killed Wu Ju, the governor of Cangwu, and even took the troops and horses from Shi Xie and stationed in Guiyang. Liu Pan has been operating in Changsha for many years. If we don't return as soon as possible, I'm afraid.  He will stir up trouble in Changsha." Ma Liang heard this.My breasts felt itchy.  After a long time, he whispered: "In this case, we must inform the lord as soon as possible and escape from Dangyang as soon as possible." "This is also something I want to discuss with you two We dare not retreat easily now, otherwise we will definitely encounter  Liu Chuang pursued. Therefore, I planned to lead some people to stay in Dangyang. Ji Chang immediately led his troops back to Changsha, and Uncle Zhi led Bai Qian to join the three generals and try to rescue the second general. If he can, I will save Ruo!  We can't save him, we can only avenge him in the future, and we must not be willful. We will have a chance of survival until we return to Changsha. "If not" Pang Tong reached this point, how could Chen Dao and Ma Liang not understand what he was thinking.  After thinking about it carefully, this is the only way.  Chen Dao and Ma Liang agreed on the spot, and immediately started their own actions When Chen Dao and Ma Liang withdrew from the Dangyang battlefield, Pang Tong did not feel relaxed.  He still has 20,000 people in his hands, how can he evacuate Dangyang calmly?  You know, once he shows signs of retreat, Liu Chuang will never give up.  Thinking of this, Pang Tong had another headache!  +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "Military advisor, are you awake?" After Chen Dao and Ma Liang left  The next day, Pang Tong fell into a drowsy sleep after a busy day.  He didn¡¯t know how long he had slept when he was woken up by a call.  open one's eyes.  But Jiang Wan looked anxious.  Standing next to the bed.  "Gong Yan. Is something wrong?" Pang Tong rubbed his eyes, turned over and sat up.  "Military advisor, something serious has gone wrong" "What's wrong? Speak slowly!" Jiang Wan tried to calm down his mood and spoke very quickly: "Military advisor, something happened in Jiangling!" "Ah?" "Wuximan suddenly  The old barbarian king withdrew his troops from Yiling and attacked Jiangling. Before leaving Jiangling, the lord entrusted Jiangling to a man named Ge Jun. As soon as the Wuxi barbarians arrived, he surrendered.  Shamoke secretly colluded with Liu Chuang and joined forces with Zhang He to counterattack Zhijiang. When the lord heard the news, he immediately fled from Zhijiang with Liu Feng, and his whereabouts are unknown. " "What?" Pang Tong was shocked.  I panicked.  He is extremely intelligent, but he is still young after all.  Hearing such information, he was a little unable to react, and blurted out: "Why did the Wuxi Man rebel?" As soon as the words came out, he shut his mouth.  Why can¡¯t Wuxi Man rebel?  ??At the beginning.  Liu Bei has spent a lot of money to win over Wuxi Man, making Wuxi Man agree to assist them.  But if it's a comparison of financial resources.  How can the financial resources of Jiangxia's tiny land compare with Liu Chuang's national wealth?  They could win over the Wuxi Barbarians, and Liu Chuang could spend more money to make the Wuxi Barbarians rebel against them.  You know, Liu Chuang now dominates the north and is very powerful.  Who will Wuxi Man finally lean towards?  It's clear at a glance. ??????????????????? It¡¯s true that the Wuxi Man is the one who succeeds, and the Wuxi Man is the one who loses!  Pang Tong quickly put on his clothes and asked, "Gong Yan, is there any movement over there with the Han army?" "The Han army has not made any move yet. It is said that in the evening, only a group of about 3,000 people came, and the leader was  "It's Xu Sheng." "Only three thousand came?" Pang Tongtong was stunned and couldn't help but look surprised.  According to his intelligence, Xu Sheng had tens of thousands of elite soldiers in his hands.  Now that only three thousand have arrived, where have the remaining troops gone?  Pang Tong couldn't help but feel confused, but suddenly he heard a violent rumble from outside the big tent.  The ground seemed to be shaking with the roar.  He was shocked and hurriedly walked out of the Chinese army tent with Jiang Wan.  But in the Dangyang camp, fires shot into the sky and explosions continued "Heavenly thunder and fire!" Pang Tong took a breath and suddenly understood why the Han army only came with three thousand reinforcements.  Those three thousand reinforcements were clearly escorting the Heavenly Thunder Fire.  Pang Tong had heard about the power of thunder and fire, but he had never experienced it.  Now, he has learned the lesson!  But it made him feel extremely desperate.  A piece of thunder and fire flew from the sky and landed on a small tent.  ?Following a loud bang, a ball of flames rose into the sky, all the rebels in the small tent were killed, and the entire small tent turned into billowing smoke.  "Hurry up!" Pang Tong shouted, pulling Jiang Wan away.  The two of them took a few steps and stopped the two war horses. They just turned over and sat on the horses, but unexpectedly, a thunderbolt flew through the air and landed not far away from Pang Tong and the other two.  There was a loud rumble, and the war horse Xi Yuyu neighed miserably.  Pang Tong felt a wave of heat coming over him. He flew up from his horse and fell to the ground in a puffy shape.??Unconscious.  Jiang Wan's situation was even worse than him. He was directly hit by the iron sand in the thunder and fire, and his body and horse were all bruised and bloody.  For a time, the Dangyang camp was in chaos Not far from the Dangyang camp, eight oxen crossbows were lined up on the banks of the Dangyang River. The soldiers kept filling the eight niu crossbows with thunder and fire.  Go up and throw it into the rebel camp.  Liu Chuang reined in his horse and stood up, neatly dressed.  He wore a golden mask on his face, only his eyes were exposed his eyes looked extremely cold, but he said nothing.  Xu Sheng and his men continued to fill the sky with thunder and fire. With the orders, the rebel camp on the other side was filled with flames Xu Sheng indeed only brought three thousand people.  But these three thousand people are the Eight Bull Crossbowmen who have just arrived from Luoyang to escort Tian Leihuo.  When Xun Yu was in Luoyang, he was keenly aware of the changing situation in Jingzhou, so he ordered people to send all the Tianleihuo in stock to Jingzhou.  He felt that although the battle in Jingzhou had just begun, it was already coming to an end.  "This battle is more about deterrence than anything else In this case, throwing the Sky Thunder Fire into the battlefield on a large scale is undoubtedly the best way.  I believe that those people in Jingzhou will become particularly honest after seeing the power of thunder and fire.  In this case, it will also have an unexpected effect on Liu Chuang's stabilization of Jingzhou.  In fact, when Pang Tong began to retreat, Liu Chuang was also dispatching troops.  After Fazheng arrived in Dangyang from Xiangyang, he gave advice and ordered Zhao Yun's Yafeng Cavalry to join Xu Sheng's men and horses, cross Jingshan Mountain, and go to Yundu.  "And in the Dangyang camp, there are no more than eight thousand soldiers, and the generals are no more than Zhang Ren and Xu Sheng.  Fortunately, the soldiers and horses stationed outside Dangyang City entered the Changbanpo Camp, so the number of people in the Changbanpo Camp did not decrease Thousands of sky thunder fires, after nearly an hour of throwing, finally  Stop.  Liu Chuang waved his hand, Zhang Ren and Xu Sheng immediately led their troops and crossed the Dangyang River.  Along the way, they encountered almost no decent resistance.  Along the way there are traces left behind after being bombarded by thunder and fire, which looks shocking.  The rebels suffered heavy casualties and were defeated long ago, and had no intention of resisting.  That round of thunder and fire attacks really frightened the rebels out of their courage Seeing the robe beside them being blown to pieces in the firelight, how could the rebels dare to fight again?  Therefore, when the Han army entered the rebel camp, it could be said to have unhindered access.  This also made Xu Sheng feel very annoyed and couldn't help but said: "Damn it, I thought there would be a big scene, but I didn't want it to be like this. If I had known better, I wouldn't have had to throw so many thunder and fire It's better now, even one  It¡¯s really unlucky that I can¡¯t find my opponent.¡± He muttered, but he didn¡¯t notice that Zhang Ren¡¯s face had already turned ugly.  The reason why he stayed before was firstly to admire Liu Chuang, secondly to rescue Zhao Yun, and thirdly because he wanted to take this opportunity to understand the situation of the Han army.  Zhang Ren knew very well that once the Battle of Jingzhou ended, Liu Chuang's next target would definitely be Xichuan.  Liu Chuang is so talented and ambitious, how could he allow Xichuan to become independent?  In that case, there will be a battle sooner or later between Xi Chuan and Liu Chuang.  Originally, Zhang Ren felt that with the terrain of Xichuan, it was not impossible for him to fight.  But when he saw the mess in front of him, he was originally full of confidence, but he also became shaken.  If, if the Han army invested such a sharp weapon in the Battle of Xichuan, how could Xichuan resist it? ?? If nothing else, let¡¯s just say that some of Zhang Ren¡¯s proud and solid city gates were able to withstand such a crazy thunder and fire attack by the Han army.  At that time, the Han army only needs to throw the thunder and fire into Xichuan, and the Xichuan army will inevitably collapse without a fight!  Thinking of this, Zhang Ren could not help but shiver, and his whole person became silent (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
