Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Compared with the tepid war in Xuzhou, Jingzhou seemed a bit lively.  There are two main battlefields in Jingzhou. The coalition of princes composed of Sun Jian, Wang Lang, Yan Baihu, Liu Xun and others has a total of hundreds of thousands of people, many of whom are elite soldiers who are skilled in water warfare, and have hundreds of large and small warships.  With Sun Jian as the commander, the army raised troops in Chaisang, took a boat and sailed upstream along the Yangtze River to approach Jiangxia, the important town in Jingzhou.  Liu Biao secretly regretted that he should not have coveted Ma Chao's small favors, otherwise how could he be where he is today?  But it's easier to get on the pirate ship than to get off the pirate ship. Now it's too late to say anything. I can only stand on Ma Chao's side and run all the way to the dark side!  Jiangxia is the throat of Jingzhou. Once it falls, Xiangyang City will be directly exposed to the enemy. Liu Biao sent Huang Zu to garrison Jiangxia with heavy troops, while he sent people to Ma Chao for help.  Fortunately, Ma Chao responded quickly and immediately sent Zhang Liao, who was stationed as a military attache, to lead 50,000 elite troops straight to Xiangyang.  Zhang Liao is a general on horseback and is not good at water warfare. Moreover, he has a lot of cavalry in his team. Going to the river to confront Sun Jian is undoubtedly an act of death.  The army rushed to Xiangyang and was immediately warmly received by Liu Biao. After discussion, and at Fa Zheng's suggestion, Zhang Liao decided to encircle Wei and save Zhao.  Avoiding Sun Jian's attack, the 50,000-strong army relied on Liu Biao's navy to cross the river from the Dongting Lake area. They made full use of the mobility of the cavalry to penetrate into the hinterland of Jiangdong where the army was empty, and took the opportunity to conquer Changsha, Baling, Baqiu and other cities in Jingzhou.  At that time, Sun Jian, Yan Baihu, Wang Lang, Liu Xun and other minor princes were unstable in the rear and had to return troops to save themselves.  The other army was headed by Wen Chou and Ji Ling. There were 200,000 people in this army.  The army started from Runan County in Yuzhou and passed through the ancient city.  Lushan drove towards Nanyang Wancheng.  After receiving the news, Zhang Xiu, who was in Nanyang, had to send people to ask for help from Ma Chao. Then five generals, Pang De, Xu Shu, Ma Dai, Wang Shuang, and Wu Kuang, led 100,000 troops and rushed to set up camp between Anle and Lushan, and followed Ma Chao's instructions.  He wanted to ask Zhang Xiu for help from Jia Xu.  Zhang Xiu did not dare to disobey, so he had to sit in Wancheng himself and let Hu Che'er escort Jia Xu to Pang De's camp.  Pang De, Ma Dai, and Wang Shuang could be considered Ma Chao's old subordinates. They obeyed Ma Chao's suggestions and showed great respect to this short and fat scribe who was over forty years old.  After the greetings, Pound took out a letter sealed with lacquer.  He said seriously: "This is the general's secret order. Please listen carefully, Mr. Jia!" Jia Xu was flattered. He didn't expect Ma Chao to be so fond of him, but he didn't know what the secret order meant.  Pang De uncovered the paint in public, took out Ma Chao's autograph and said: "Both Jia Xu and Zhang Xiu are from Liangzhou. They are direct descendants of the Dong thief. When the Dong thief came to power, he looted Nanyang. Runan, Ying, etc."  Sichuan and other places. They killed innocent people and plundered the people. The crime is unforgivable" Jia Xu's scalp was numb, he was sweating, and his face was pale. Seeing this, Ma Chao was planning to trick him.  Go out and kill!  When Pang De saw Jia Xu's pale face, he couldn't help but secretly laugh in his heart, and continued to read: "However, since the Dong thief was executed, the rest of the people have been scattered. Li Jue, Guo Si and others were all exiled overseas! Only Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu were  He was lucky enough to escape. The sky net was well maintained and not leaking. Since Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu took refuge with Liu Biao, they were able to restrain their subordinates from looting, and they tried their best to maintain local stability and repel Yuan Shao's rebels several times. This is quite a feat!  The general cherishes the talents and wishes to petition the emperor to pardon them and put them to good use. At the time when the two armies are fighting, the Wen Chou tribe is a ragtag group, and the victory is easy. However, I am thinking of the common people in the world and do not want to slaughter my great people, so I order you to come out quickly.  A plan to dismantle the army of literary and ugly men. If you succeed in this plan, you will be able to hold an important position in the capital, and you will be a high-ranking official with endless wealth and wealth! If you are poor in skills, you will be punished along with your previous crimes and will not be tolerated. " Jia Xu!  He listened to the secret order with trepidation, his back was wet, and he didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he heard the last word.  After receiving the secret order, he frowned and said: "The general thinks too highly of Jia. In that case, how about you let me go back and think carefully all night, and then give the general an answer tomorrow?" Pang De said: "Since Mr. Jia is highly respected by the lord, he must be a great talent!"  Whether we can dismantle the Wen Chou Department is up to Mr. Quan Lao!" Jia Xu even said he didn't dare, but he was in a state of confusion, not knowing whether to feel happy or sad.  But he already knew the general trend of the world, and Ma Chao's purpose this time was nothing more than to recruit him, and by the way, recruit Zhang Xiu through him, in order to kill two birds with one stone.  Two days later, Wen Chou and Ji Ling led 200,000 troops to Lushan and also pressed down the main camp to prepare for war.  Nanyang and Runan are separated by the Feishui River. The Feishui River is a tributary of the Xiangjiang River. The water flow is rapid and of varying depths, and few ships move on it.  It is not an easy task for Wen Chou's 200,000 troops to cross the river quickly. Between Anle and Lushan, there happens to be a stable and narrow place where the Jishui River is stable, and there are many wooden bridges built on it. Under such a situation, it is possible  This is a battleground between the two families.  The next day, the two armies lined up in the field, flags fluttering, war drums roaring, cold wind blowing, and the murderous atmosphere became more intense.  Although Pang De's team is not the former Shenwei Battalion, they are regular troops that have undergone strict selection and hard training.  Although the troops sent to Hanzhong a few days ago did not achieve any success, they still had a great impact on the army.But it is a rare opportunity for military training.  More than 100,000 troops with bright helmets and uniform weapons looked like a Great Wall made of steel.  Wen Chou and Ji Ling's troops were almost twice as many as Pound's troops, but most of them were recruited from diners or domestic slaves of aristocratic families. They had no combat experience, and even their weapons were in a mess. Among them, they were low-cost.  Mainly spears and lances.  The combined number of the two armies was 300,000. This battle can be regarded as one of the largest battles since Emperor Guangwu.  Coach Pang De was a little excited. After discussing with Jia Xu for a while, he took a few steps forward on his horse and shouted loudly: "This is General Pang De! Where is General Wen Chou? Come out and answer first!" Wen Scandal Yan also came on horseback.  In front of the two armies, they shouted loudly: "If you want to fight, then fight, but I don't know what General Pang has to say?" Pang De clasped his fists and gave a slight salute, and said: "People say that the two heroes of Hebei, both Yan Liang and Wen Chou, have their faults.  Brave! My lord also praised General Wen, but why did the famous general in Hebei come to Henan to show off his power now? Is it because General Wen came here to attack the city or to massacre it?  To plunder the people? Or to lead troops into Luoyang and seek the throne for Yuan Shao?" Wen Chou frowned and said in a deep voice, "I have heard of your name before, when I defeated Wu Heng and conquered Xianbei.  The recent troops to attack Hanzhong are all due to you, but today we are in front of the two armies, and we are just following orders. If you must know, you can ask my lord in person after I capture you!"  He shook his head and said: "A thousand cups of wine is too little to meet a close friend, and half a sentence is too much to talk without speculation. Having said that, I still have one question. General Ru Wen is willing to tell the truth. Pang De is grateful!" Wen Chou looked slightly impatient.  , said in a deep voice: "Let's talk and listen!" Pang De said: "May I ask the general what his ambition is?" Wen Chou was stunned. He didn't expect Pound to ask such a question. He immediately replied without thinking: "Wen Chou is no more than a martial artist.  Aiming to stabilize the country, help the Han Dynasty, and benefit the world! " Pang De said: "Of course! General Ke Wen has ever thought that if you and I have an army of more than 300,000 fighting in one place today, let's not say whether we will win or lose.  There will be rivers of blood and corpses everywhere. How can one bear to suffer hundreds of thousands of innocent souls in one day? You are a Han official, and I am a Han official. Yuan Shao and even my lord are all Han officials, so why bother?  Killing each other?" Wen Chou was speechless for a moment, but when he was about to retort, Pang De continued: "There is a rebellion in the mountains in the east of the Yangtze River. Bandits are rampant. The barbarians are burning, killing and looting us Han people everywhere. The people are suffering so much that they have left their homes and fled elsewhere. Yuan Shao doesn't send troops to suppress it.  That's all. Instead, he sent millions of troops to rebel for his own selfish reasons, causing constant wars and corpses everywhere. The general devoted his life to Yuan Shao. Isn't it tantamount to aiding Zhou?" Wen Chou was furious and picked up the iron with a cry of "choi!"  Gun, shouted: "Ma Chao occupied the capital, held the emperor hostage, played tricks of power, and plundered noble families. You are Ma Chao's eagle dog, don't you help the emperor to do evil? Stop talking nonsense, I have heard about this name for a long time. Today coincides with the battle between the two armies, so it is a good time to learn from it!"  Pang De did not move, frowning and said: "My lord's actions are all for the sake of all people in the world! If General Wen doesn't believe it, he can take the time to go back to his hometown in Jizhou to find out! What he said today is really from the bottom of his heart. General Wen wants to talk to  It's not a bad idea to fight with Pang. How about fighting to the death here three days later? It's a pity that the general's 200,000 miscellaneous troops, regardless of victory or defeat, you and I are the sinners of the Han nation!" Wen Chou felt something in his heart.  He was moved by De's words, but felt fearful after seeing the appearance of Pound's army.  In the past three years, he has been following Yuan Shao smoothly, and he can be said to be invincible. However, his opponents are either a small local Yellow Turban army or an insurrectionary army with various names. Where has he seen a real combat force?  Pang De's 100,000-strong army today immediately opened Wen Chou's eyes. After seeing the equipment of Ma Chao's army, Sergeant Yuan and his soldiers were all talking about it. The 200,000-strong army formed a long queue, the formation was scattered, and the noise was like a vegetable market.  Generally speaking, they have no intention of fighting at all. If they force themselves to fight, they will definitely lose, even if the number of people is doubled!  After pondering for a long time, Wen Chou sighed deeply and said, "As you said, we will have a showdown here in three days!" After that, he turned his horse and left.  The two parties only faced off for a moment before they both withdrew their troops and returned to their camps.  Pang De was really unsure. As soon as he entered the Chinese army's tent, he asked: "The general has already followed the plan. Now it depends on Mr. Jia's ability. If Wen Chou's army of 200,000 can be destroyed at a very small cost, what will happen to him?"  It must be a great achievement!" Jia Xu said confidently: "General, don't worry, Yuan Shao is tolerant on the outside and cautious on the inside, and he is impulsive. Although he sent four armies this time, there is a supervisor in each army, Wen Chou.  The supervisor is Xu You! Jia only needs to use a little trick to make Xu You suspicious and alienate the relationship between Wen Chou and Yuan Shao!" Pang De is not a fool, so he immediately thought of it!He nodded and said, "I heard that these 200,000 troops were trained by Wen Chou. If Yuan Shao really changes his generals before the battle, the morale of the army will be dispersed. By then, those who surrender will surrender and those who will run away will be able to win without a fight."  ? "(To be continued)
