Chapter 421 The Great Showdown (3)(1/2)
As Pang Tong expected, how could Liu Chuang be stolen?
He is an expert in stealing camps, so he pays special attention in this regard. Zhang Fei sneaked into Changbanpo camp at night, but was ambushed by Liu Chuang. Liu Chuang, Cao Zhang, Dianman, Zhang Ren and Wen Pin surrounded the five groups. If Chen Dao had not rescued in time, Zhang Fei would have been in a desperate situation. Even so, the three thousand soldiers and horses of Zhang Fei were wiped out. Even the Baier elite soldiers under Chen Dao suffered a great loss. When the two joined forces and retreated to the Dangyang Bridge camp, Zhang Fei's face was gloomy and he could not say a word.
When he arrived at the central army tent, he saw Pang Tong and bowed.
"Zhang Fei was reckless and collided with the military advisor yesterday. I also asked the military advisor to forgive him."
This guy has such advantages: if he is wrong, he will never hide anything.
Pang Tong stepped forward and helped Zhang Fei up.
"Three Generals, this battle is not your fault, and I am a little careless.
However, although the thieves were short of their troops, they were all elite under their command. He stationed the Feixiong Guard and the Hubao Cavalry in Changbanpo, with only 10,000 people, but they were all used to fighting. Now he ordered the Yafeng Cavalry to protect the food route and even made reinforcements stationed outside Dangyang City as support, which all showed that this person was meticulous. This battle was related to the great cause of the lord. No matter what dissatisfaction with the third generals, please give up all past grudges and cooperate sincerely."
After saying a few words, Zhang Fei blushed.
"Zhang Fei is willing to be sent by the military advisor."
A big defeat made the generals unite, which is also a good thing.
Pang Tong immediately ordered an attack on the Han army in Changbanpo. The two sides fought fiercely on the banks of the Dangyang River for a whole day, but they did not decide the outcome.
Seeing Liu Chuang withdraw his troops, Pang Tong couldn't help feeling anxious.
Although Liu Chuang had few soldiers, his combat effectiveness was amazing and his weapons were excellent.
It is not easy to defeat it. I hope the winner is ready, and if I succeed, I will have more chances of winning.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Pang Tong guessed Liu Bei's thoughts and waited for Liu Bei to take action.
However, before Liu Bei could take action, Guo Jia, who was far away in Lujiang, took the lead in attacking.
At the end of August of the 11th year of Jian'an, Guo Jia and Zhang Liao gathered 50,000 troops and suddenly launched a fierce attack on Jiangdong. Chen Wu surrendered and occupied Chungu and Niuzhu, providing two excellent bridgeheads for the Han army. Guo Jia used this as a bridgehead. Zhang Liao was ordered to lead Taishi Xiang and Xiao Ling to attack from Chungu; Xu Huang was in Niuzhu, assisting Chen Wu to attack Shicheng. Jiangdong was already panicked, especially He Qi captured Yi County, cut off the connection between Danyang and Yuzhang, which made Sun Quan even more panicked. When he learned that the Han army had launched an offensive, Sun Quan hurriedly dispatched troops. However, without waiting for Sun Quan's reinforcements to set off, Xiahou Yuan, who was far away in Guangling, took Xu Chu as the vanguard and cooperated with the navy to cross the river to attack.
Sun Jing fought to the death in Dantu, but the Hu Ben attacked fiercely.
The Dan disciple, who originally thought he was as solid as a god, was defeated in just a few days.
During this battle, the Han army invested a large number of catapults and equipped the sea boats with poles and threw the sky thunder and fire.
Jiang Qin, the guard general of Jiang Cheng, tried to go down the river to rescue Danzeng, but was attacked by Fengchi on the way... The overwhelming sky thunder and fire exploded on the Jiangdong Sea boat, causing heavy losses to the Jiangdong navy. At the same time, Xu Shu dispatched troops on Dongling Island, ambushing Pan Zhang outside Piling City, causing Pan Zhang to be defeated and left. Seeing that Danzeng was about to break the city, Sun Jing felt that the situation was gone. He committed suicide at the government office.
When Lu Su arrived, the Han army dragon flag had been replaced by the Dantu city.
The continuous Han army came from Jiangdu and landed in Dantu... Seeing this, Lu Su knew that it was impossible to recapture Dantu. So he simply abandoned Qu'a and led his troops to Jurong, and supported Jiang Qin's troops, guarding Jiang Cheng to the death. Jurong and Hu were familiar with him.
But at this point, the declining trend of Jiangdong that has been desperate is irreversible...
After Sun Quan learned that Dantu lost, he had no intention of rescuing Wuhu.
He ordered Zhou Tai to station in Danyang and sent people to defend Liyang to the death, and to act as a decisive battle with the Han army. But everyone knew that Sun Quan did this, which made him more afraid. Some people even began to miss Sun Ce. If Sun Ce was the lord of Jiangdong, in the face of such a situation, he would definitely take the initiative to attack instead of hiding in the turtle shell to defend. Guard? With the current situation in Jiangdong, can he defend it?
"Military advisor, why stop the attack?"
Just when everyone thought that the Han army would attack Danyang in one go, Guo Jia suddenly ordered to stop the attack.
Zhang Liao couldn't help but feel surprised and came to Guo Jia's military tent in confusion to inquire.
Guo Jia smiled and said, "Wen Yuan, this battle will bring peace to the world.
Previously, the Battle of Jiangdong was of great importance; but now, Sun Quan is already alone and unable to make a fuss. Next, we must cooperate with the former general to increase the attack on Yuzhang. I have already been appointed to a brilliant talent and besiege Jurong. I think that when Lusu comes, I will not support it for too long. Now that Gansu is occupying Wuxian, Wujun is at your fingertips. If we are exploring Moling, it will be inappropriate. Why not wait and wait for the good news."
Zhang Liao didn't quite understand at first, but gradually, he understood what Guo Jia meant.
This key battle to pacify the country must not be ended in one's own hands. It must be ended first with the lord... It proceeded too quickly, but it would be suspected of being a great success. When Liu Chuang solved Liu Bei, it would not be too late for them to kill Sun Quan.
When Zhang Liao thought of this, he couldn't help but laugh.
"I only now know why Feng Xiao left Meng Qi in Lujiang."
Guo Jia smiled and stood up and said, "Okay, I guess Meng Qi should take action at this time!"
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In early September of the 11th year of Jian'an, the battle in Dangyang continued.
However, as a large number of Han troops entered Jingzhou, the impact of Liu Biao's death gradually disappeared. After discussing with Mrs. Cai Mao asked Kuai Liang to go to Wancheng. Although Liu Chuang was not there, Fa Zheng was still there. More importantly, as Xun Yu returned to Luoyang, Xun Chen came to Wancheng from Luoyang. As the Grand Situ, he was fully responsible for the affairs of Jingzhou. After a conversation with Kuai Liang, Xun Chen assured Kuai Liang that he would never endanger Liu Biao's family. However, Liu Cong and Mrs. Cai could not continue to stay in Jingzhou. They wanted to move to Luoyang to settle down.
At that time, Liu Cong's title will be decided by Liu Chuang, but he will never insult Liu Cong's identity.
In other matters, we will also adhere to the principle of governing Jingzhou by Jing people and try our best to safeguard the interests of the five major surnames in Jingzhou.
After Cai Mao received a positive answer, he immediately ordered the flag to change and asked the Han army to enter Xiangyang. Zhang He led his troops to arrive at Xiangyang City first; then, Xu Sheng and Li Tong also led their troops to Jingzhou. After Li Tong entered Jingzhou, he immediately marched towards Lulin Mountain to enhance Huang Zhong's strength.
Xu Sheng stationed troops in Liqiu to guard the flank of Xiangyang.
The chaotic situation in Xiangyang stabilized. A few days later, Fa Zheng led his troops to Xiangyang City, but his followers were General Zhenwu Cao Xing.
The Han army's intention to unify Jingzhou has become obvious.
At this time, Liu Bei was in Jiangling and was loyal to waiting for news about Wuxi Barbarians.
The old barbarian king of Wuxi gathered 80,000 barbarians in Wuxi and raided Huya Mountain. He ordered his son, Shamoke, the little king of Wuxi, to be the vanguard, commanded 30,000 troops to arrive in Jiangling to support Liu Bei. After hearing the news, Liu Bei was overjoyed. He went out of the city to greet him and invited Shamoke into Jiangling City. He also held a banquet to welcome Shamoke and his party.
"I'm looking forward to Xiao Wang, like I'm looking forward to the dew after a long drought.
Nowadays, there are traitors in the state who are in trouble with Jingzhou. Although they try their best to compete with them, they are unable to do so.
I have heard that Xiao Wang is the bravest army and is a brave general of the world. Now, with the help of Xiao Wang, I have greatly increased my confidence and I also ask Xiao Wang to drink this wine."
Nashamoko is nine feet tall and about 210 cm.
The waist is ten feet wide, as majestic as a lion. This guy has a loose black hair, a golden ring on his forehead, and a chain armor, and a lion man's jade belt tied with a lion man's waist. He stood there. He was majestic and murderous intent, which made people feel frightened. It was not unreasonable for Liu Bei to praise Shamoko so much. Although Shamoko was not old, he looked like twenty-four or five years old, he did have the reputation of "the No. 1 Warrior of Wuxi Man". This manpower is extremely powerful, making a trough bone of a 100-meter-long trough weighing 200 kilograms.
His weight, coupled with his weapons, could not bear it at all.
So the old king of Wuxi Man simply brought a cow for Shamoke as a mount. Although the speed was a little slow, it was amazingly powerful.
In addition, Shamoko is also good at bows and arrows, and has amazing shooting skills. He is known to be able to penetrate the poplar with hundreds of steps.
There were three thousand barbarians under his command, all of whom were fierce warriors. A few years ago, Shamoke led 800 barbarians to besiege Wuling, and fought no one to fight in Wuling. In history, this man even shot Gan Ning, which shows that his military power was good. Liu Bei plotted against Jingnan and bribed Wuxi barbarians, but how could he not know Shamoke's reputation? This time, he invited Wuxi barbarians to send troops, Shamoke was the person Liu Bei valued the most.
Two others came with Shamoko.
A lion has a wide nose and a disheveled hair, and looks extremely scary.
However, this person's height is almost the same as Shamoko. He is carrying a pair of iron hammers. Judging from the size, it is not inferior to the iron caltrop bones in Shamoko's hand.
The other one has white teeth and red lips, and looks like a Confucian scholar.
According to Shamoke, the person's name is Ge Jun. He was invited by the old man king for a large sum of money and was also Shamoke's counselor. It can be seen that Shamoke respects Ge Jun very much. And he is very polite to that young man with an ugly appearance and a crazy lion.
"A Chou is the nephew of a young man. When he was frightened, he was a little stupid.
Lao Wang invited me to Wuling, but I was really worried that Ah Chou would stay in my hometown, so I had to take him by my side, but it made Xuan Degong laugh."
Ge Jun spoke fluent and official language, but he couldn't tell which accent it was.
He was quite humble, had a more polite manner, and had extraordinary conversation, and immediately gained Liu Bei's favor.
Shamoke smiled and said, "Don't underestimate Ah Chou. If I fight in front of the two armies, I dare say that there are only a handful of people in the world who can defeat others. If I don't get Danxi's help, I dare not say that it is his opponent. If I fight, I will definitely lose in thirty rounds."
I have heard for a long time that Shamoko is a rebellious person and never convinces others.
But now he really admires Ah Chou in every way, which makes Liu Bei curious.
However, his goal was still to Shamoke. After all, if he wants to turn the situation around this time, he must rely on Shamoke's Wuxi barbarians. As for Ge Jun and A Chou, Liu Bei does not have much energy to win. If he wins, it is natural to say. If he loses... Anyway, Ge Jun and A Chou are following Shamoke, there is no need to go to win over, which will make Shamoke unhappy.
"The main force of the thief is now being restrained by Dangyang and cannot be escaped for the time being.
And his troops entered Xiangyang one after another, but their footholds were not stable. I wanted to take this opportunity to attack Zhijiang, seize Zhijiang, and then arrive at Xiangyang City."
After the greetings, Liu Bei immediately explained his intentions.
Shamoke said: "Donald Xuande just worry. Before I came, my father told me to obey Duke Xuande's orders."
When Liu Bei heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.
"With Xiao Wang's help, it will be easy to take Jingzhou."
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The next day, Liu Bei asked Shamoke to lead his troops to attack.
The distance from Jiangling to Zhijiang is not too far. The Zhijiang Chang Hao Pu was killed by Liu Chuang before, and no officials have been appointed yet.
In this case, the Zhijiang River has no heads and is in chaos.
Shamoke led three thousand Wuxi barbarians. He took down Zhijiang County without any blood, and then immediately approached Lin Ju again.
Liu Bei finally got into trouble!
When the news came out, Xiangyang suddenly became panicked again.
Fortunately, after the Han army entered Xiangyang City, Fa Zheng quickly controlled the situation with the help of the Kuai family and Cai family. Therefore, although the people in Xiangyang were panic, they did not lose their own way. Fa Zheng quickly ordered Zhang He to join Zhao Yun, station in the county, and guard against the Wuxi barbarian army.
Dangyang, in Changbanpo Daying.
Liu Chuang frowned and looked through the battle reports sent from the front, his face looked very ugly.
"I never thought that the Wuxi Man sent troops at this time, but I was surprised."
To be continued...
