On August 22, 11th year of Jian'an, there was a strong smell of blood over the Dangyang.

When Liu Chuang led the Feixiong Wei and the Hubao Cavalry to Changbanpo, the Dangyang War was coming to an end. The Han army and the rebels suffered heavy casualties, and no one took much advantage. The rebels were constantly increasing, and the number of the Han army was also increasing.

Liu Chuang arrived at Changbanpo, and the troops on both sides had reached 80,000.

In just one day, both sides invested tens of thousands of troops. The difference is that the rebels' increase in troops was an orderly increase; while the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou were mostly spontaneously acted, which was so chaotic. During the war, there were frequent situations of killing each other, so the casualties were even more severe than those of the rebels. This war lasted for a full day, and it was not until the west end that both sides were considered to have withdrawn their troops.

The entire Changbanpo was stained with blood.

Liu Chuang walked on a horse, looking at the tragic situation of corpses everywhere in front of him, and couldn't help but feel shocked.

Zhao Yun stained his blood in the robe, came to Liu Chuang, and knelt on one knee, "The last general failed to fulfill the Prime Minister's instructions, and he was exhausted and killed Liu Jingzhou. He deserved to be killed in real crime."

He and Zhang Fei had a whole day, but they had no choice but to win.

No wonder, Zhang Fei was ambushed by the Dangyang River, waiting for his hard work; while Zhao Yun pursued hundreds of miles, and was trapped in the crowd. In this way, even if Zhao Yun was slightly better than Zhang Fei, he was dragged down by the fatigue of the long journey. Although he fought for life, he could not get rid of Zhang Fei's entanglement.

If Cao Zhang had not led the tiger and leopard cavalry to Changbanpo, the outcome of this bloody battle would have been unknown.

Liu Chuang dismounted and Wen Yan comforted Zhao Yun.

No wonder Zhao Yun was the one who died. I can only say that his luck was too bad. Similarly, neither Liu Chuang nor Zhao Yun were prepared for this sudden decisive battle. If Wen Pin had not led his troops to arrive, Zhao Yun's Arrow Cavalry would have been wiped out.

"Pang Shiyuan!"

A person's name flashed in Liu Chuang's mind.

Pang Tong is good at using dangerous tricks... He is completely opposite to Zhuge Liang in history. Zhuge Liang is cautious, while Pang Tong is bold. The two nicknames of "Sleeping Dragon and Phoenix Chicken" also fully demonstrate the personalities of the two people. Feng Chu... has the spirit of being a newborn calf not afraid of a tiger. But sometimes, Pang Tong's "Good" is good at using dangerous tricks, which also destined him to be miserable.

But for this time, it was Pang Tong who continued to increase his troops and stabilized the rebels' positions.

Otherwise, if he withdrew his troops, Liu Chuang would definitely pursue him while he was victorious.

"What's the situation on the other side?"

"The rebels are still increasing their troops..." Yang Qian and Lu Meng followed Liu Chuang around. When he heard Liu Chuang's inquiry, Lu Meng hurried forward and bowed to answer.

"According to the scout's return, two more troops of the rebels arrived after the war, namely Linju Chang Xianglang and Jingling Chief Deng Kai.

It is reported that Pang Tong has issued a conscript in Jingling. He will arrive on the other side soon... Now the number of troops on the other side has surged to more than 50,000."

Xiang Lang? Deng Kai?

Two relatively unfamiliar names.

It seems that Liu Bei has indeed attracted many people in Jingzhou over the years.

In addition, Bao Long, Liao Hua and Ma Liang arrived on the battlefield during the day, and the small Dangyang River, many capable people gathered.

Liu Chuang couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head gently.

I have to say that the timing of Pang Tong's troops was really great!

Liu Chuang has not yet controlled Jingzhou. He is not led by all the troops in Jingzhou. The less than 10,000 people he brought with him. Although he had 30,000 troops in his hand, at least two-thirds of them did not listen to his orders. In other words, he was surrounded by a group of mobs... If he wanted to deal with the rebels, he had to integrate these 30,000 troops. But this was easy to say but difficult to do.

The army of 30,000 consumes countless food and grass every day. Jingzhou is in a state of chaos. Who will provide these food and grass?

Liu Chuang's army is expected to arrive in Xiangyang in three days.

It takes at least five to seven days to prevent the rebels from here for seven days to take over Jingzhou completely and provide strong support to Liu Chuang. In other words, Liu Chuang must block the rebels here for seven days. Otherwise, if the rebels take advantage of the situation to go north, Jingzhou will inevitably be in chaos, which will make the situation more complicated.

"Let's go back and discuss."

After Liu Chuang stopped at Changbanpo for a moment, he took everyone back to Dangyang County.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Dangyang County is in chaos.

Various rebels arrived, but Dangyang Ling did not prepare any preparations, so various problems arose during the resettlement.

After Liu broke into the city, he frowned when he saw the chaos.

But he did not immediately have an attack, but followed Zhao Yun and others into the government office and headed straight to the government office lobby.

"Prime Minister, you are here!"

A handsome man in his early thirties came up and bowed to salute.

The man was eight feet tall and thin. He was wearing a bright yellow embroidered brocade battle robe with a jade belt on his waist, and was majestic. When Liu Chuang saw the man, he immediately smiled. He waved to Zhao Yun to come over, "Zilong, have you ever seen your senior brother?"

Zhao Yun was stunned and looked at the man in shock.

He studied under Tong Yuan, and Tong Yuan had four disciples in total.

In addition to Sun Shao, who is still studying with Tong Yuan, Zhang Xiu was killed on the bank of Yingshui River. Only one person who can be called a senior brother is Xichuan Zhang Ren. Could it be that this man is Zhang Ren? Zhao Yun had heard Tong Yuan mention Zhang Ren and Liu Chuang talk about this person.

In Liu Chuang's words, Zhang Ren was the number one general in Xichuan and highly praised.

You should know that Liu Chuang has many famous generals under him, and Zhang Ren's ability to get Liu Chuang's praise further demonstrates his ability. It is precisely for this reason that Zhao Yun had a deep impression of Zhang Ren. A few days ago, he had heard that Zhang Ren came to see Liu Chuang with Liu Wei, the eldest son of Liu Zhang in Xichuan. However, due to busy military affairs, after Zhang Ren arrived in Wancheng, Zhao Yun could not meet him.

Zhang Song has set off and returned to Xichuan.

Liu Wei stayed in Luoyang and became the prime minister, but in fact he became a proton.

Originally, Zhang Ren wanted to follow Zhang Song back. But when he heard that Zhao Yun led his troops to pursue him, he was so excited that he proposed to follow Liu Chuang to Jingzhou. Who is Zhang Song? His eyelids were extremely lively. When Liu Chuang learned about Zhang Ren's identity, Zhang Song realized that Liu Chuang had a strong interest in Zhang Ren. In addition to the relationship between Zhang Ren and Zhao Yun's brothers, Zhang Song naturally would not stop him.

Therefore, Zhang Ren temporarily took over the position of Feixiongwei as the captain of the shooting sound.

Originally, the commander of Feixiongwei was jointly responsible by Taishi Xiang and Jiang Jie. However, Taishi Ci left, Taishi Xiang avenged his father and went to Lujiang. In this way, only Jiang Jie was left. But Jiang Jie seemed to be unable to control the commander Feixiongwei, regardless of qualifications or ability. Feixiongwei was the closest guard around Liu Chuang and the combat power was amazing.

Without real ability, it is difficult to convince Fei Xiongwei.

Previously, Jiang Jie and Tai Shixiang were in charge together and could barely command Fei Xiong Wei. Now, as Tai Shixiang left, Jiang Jie felt difficult.

His force is not outstanding.

When Taishi Xiang was alive, Jiang Jie was mainly responsible for military discipline and logistics supplies.

Now that Zhang Ren is temporarily in charge, Jiang Jie is not only not dissatisfied, but is very happy... He could see that Zhang Ren has real talents and knowledge. Even if he and Tai Shixiang combined, they are not as capable as Zhang Ren. Zhang Ren ordered Fei Xiong Wei to run hundreds of miles a day and night, and showed extraordinary abilities, which made Fei Xiong Wei highly praised him. This also made Liu Chuang very happy.

After meeting Zhang Ren and Zhao Yun, they did not exchange greetings.

He walked to Liu Chuang and whispered: "Prime Minister, there is a lot of noise inside."

Liu Chuang nodded and signaled that he had already known it, then walked into the lobby.

In the lobby, more than a dozen people were arguing endlessly, each of them blushing. Dangyang Ling looked bitter and apologized to everyone from time to time.

No wonder, these rebels were not effectively resettled after they arrived.

Not to mention anything else, but the distribution of food and grass caused dissatisfaction among the people.

Wen Pin looked angry, while Kuai Qi and another young man stood aside, watching coldly.

Seeing Liu Chuang come in, Wen Pin and others quickly got up, walked up to bow and salute. The actions of the three people also made the quarrels shut their mouths and 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 Wen Pin and others so respectful, these people couldn't help but mutter in their hearts, and they couldn't figure out Liu Chuang's identity.

"I am Liu Chuang, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty!"

Liu Chuang entered the lobby and sat in the main seat without hesitation.

Cao Zhangdian was standing behind Liu Chuang with a sword in his hand, his face gloomy.

Liu Chuang?

How could he be here?

Everyone was shocked and showed doubts.

"Two things... First, Liu Jingzhou was kidnapped by a traitor and was killed in Changbanpo last night.

His body had been sent to Xiangyang, and the murderer who killed Liu Jingzhou was his clan's son Liu Hu, who was also killed by General Zilong during the chaos yesterday, and his body was sent to Xiangyang together."

Liu Biao, is he dead?

There was a sudden riot in the lobby, and everyone talked endlessly.

"Stop it all!"

Liu Chuang frowned, stood up and shouted loudly, "Mr. Jing Sheng was killed, Jing Xiang was in turmoil.

This is the time when Jingzhou is in danger. Since the rebel army has come, I believe they are all loyal people. I have heard that Jingxiang has a great talent and talented people have emerged. But I was really disappointed when I saw it. The two people came not for the future of Jingzhou, but for some insignificant trivial matters, which is really heartbreaking. Now the traitors are lying in Jingnan. The two men are not working together, but they are quarrels for small profits. How can they protect the peace of Jingxiang? The previous performances have made me very disappointed."

Liu Chuang's words immediately aroused everyone's dissatisfaction.

"What do you say about the Prime Minister? When I come, I naturally have Jingxiang in my heart.

But the food and grass are not enough and the troops are insufficient, so how can we fight with the traitor? Liu Jingzhou was killed, but the Prime Minister was not the turn of Jingxiang. I heard that the Prime Minister had promised that Jingzhou was in charge and that Jing people were governed. The Prime Minister was not Jing, so why did he interfere in the Jingzhou affairs?"

“Bold!”

Wen Pin was furious and stood up, "How dare Hao Zitai be so rude to the Prime Minister?"

The speaker is named Hao Pu, from Yiyang, Jingzhou, and is from Jiangchang.

Liu Chuang waved his hand, signaled Wen Pin to sit down, and smiled and said, "That's right, I said that the Jingzhou affairs are governed by the people of Jing. However, when I said this, I said it as the governor of Youzhou. Now, I am the prime minister of the Han Dynasty. I still believe that the affairs of Jingzhou should be governed by Jingzhou. If the land is bound by the land, all the kings and earths are under the heavens. Jingzhou is a state under the rule of my great Han Dynasty. I am the prime minister. I interfere in the affairs of Jingzhou and ask about the affairs of Jingzhou. What's wrong with it? Duke Jingsheng led Jingxiang for many years and still regarded himself as a Han minister. This gentleman spoke of Jingzhou and kept talking about Jingzhou. Could it be that Jingzhou is not the territory of my great Han Dynasty? Could it be that this Jingzhou is not the territory of my great Han Dynasty? Is this Jing a person not the people of my great Han Dynasty?

Could this gentleman want to betray the court?”

Hao Pu was speechless and his face was flushed.

Liu Chuang's eyes showed disdain and snorted coldly, "You are not worthy of being with the Gao Shi."
