Chapter 423(1/2)

The eleventh year of Jian'an, September 19th.

Liu Chuang suddenly invested a lot of thunder and fire on the battlefield of Dangyang and defeated the rebels in one fell swoop.

Pang Tong was captured, Jiang Wan died in battle, and Deng Kai was even more miserable under the bombardment of thunder and fire on rainy days, with almost no bones left.

In this battle, the Han army captured more than 10,000 rebels and died on the spot, or more than 3,000 rebels were killed by bombing, and the rest fled to the battlefield.

As for the future fate of these deserters, Liu Chuang ignored them unintentionally.

At that time, there will be a new governor of Jingzhou to be responsible for this matter. I think these defeated soldiers will not be able to do anything.

It was a bit beyond Liu Chuang's expectations that he captured Pang Tong. But at this moment, Liu Chuang was unintentionally waiting for Pang Tong to wake up because he had something more important.

"Wen Xiang!"

"The last one will be there."

"I will lead two thousand flying Xiongwei immediately, and immediately set off an army and chase Jingling.

If the Jingling defenders surrender, it is very acceptable. If the Jingling defenders refuse to surrender, you will station troops in Yunxiang and guard the passage to Huarong. I will then order Jingyi to rush to Yunxiang to meet you. In short, you must guard Yunxiang for me and not let anyone go."

"Here!"

Xu Sheng was extremely happy and immediately set off for Jingling overnight.

Liu Chuang called Zhang Ren, "Justice, I want to come to Anlu, and the war should begin.

I went to Anlu overnight to participate in the battle of Anlu. If you hear clearly, don’t let a rebel go south. Be sure to cooperate with others to drive the rebels to Nanxin City. Then, you and Huang Zhong and others will encircle the rebels with Nanxin City. Is it clear?"

"The last general. Understand!"

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

Zhang Ren immediately led his troops away, and Liu Chuang returned to Dangyang.

As for the Dangyang River, there are Lu Meng and others who clean the battlefield without Liu Chuang's worries.

After he arrived in Dangyang, he immediately attracted Fazheng.

Liu Bei escaped in Zhijiang and was missing at present. Liu Chuang did not dare to relax his vigilance against this Xiaoqiang who could not be killed in history. He and Fa Zheng carefully studied the direction of Liu Bei's possible escape, and finally locked his target on the Yidao. According to the current form, Liu Bei was indeed likely to escape to the Yidao. The reason is very simple! Jiangling, the only way to Changsha, has been occupied by Liu Chuang. If Liu Bei was not a fool, he would never dare to retreat from Jiangling... And he was surrounded by Liu Feng, who was born and raised by Jingnan, who was more familiar with the customs and customs of Jingnan. Therefore, Liu Bei would definitely escape from Yidao to Changsha, after all, there was still some strength there.

Liu Feng is from Changsha.

He was originally from the Kou clan in Changsha, and the Kou clan was not a leader in Changsha. He was quite capable.

Liu Bei will not give up easily, he will definitely find ways to make a comeback.

"I should lead a soldier and go to Yidao.

Xiaozhi was in charge of Dangyang and immediately notified Ziheng, asking him to send troops from Jiangling to occupy the Yidao.

In addition, I sent someone to tell the Wuxi Barbarian King that I would summon him in Yidao, and that I would never regret anything I promised him before."

"Prime Minister, that Xichuan..."

Liu Chuang frowned and fell into deep thought.

After a while, he spoke: "Sorry Zhang He to lead his troops to Yiling. If Xichuan troops attack, they will only defend but not attack, and wait for reinforcements."

"Here!"

Fa Zheng, bow and accept the order.

With the general mobilization of the Han army, Xiahou Dun's troops had already arrived in Xiangyang.

Cao Ren's troops entered Nanyang County; Cao Chun's troops also arrived in Atou Mountain.

This time, the Han army gathered 300,000 troops to achieve success in one battle. But from the current form, the significance of deterrence of 300,000 troops is far greater than the game. To a certain extent, Liu Chuang did not want to rebel against Liu Zhang at this time, nor did he want to use troops to Xichuan.

His main energy now can be said to be all focused on Liu Bei...

On the second day after the Battle of Dangyang, west of Anlu Jianshui, the Han army also launched a fierce attack on Zhang Fei and Chen Dao.

Zhang Fei originally wanted to fight the Han army, but was stopped by Chen Dao.

At this time, the result of the Battle of Dangyang had not reached Chen Dao's ears, but Chen Dao realized that the situation was not good.

He stopped Zhang Fei, forcibly ordered the withdrawal of troops, and quickly retreated towards Jingling. He did not expect to encounter Zhang Ren's obstacle on the way and dragged the two of them tightly. Then, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun and Wenpin, three armies chased from the rear. In a melee, Zhang Fei led his troops to break through, and Chen Dao led the remnants to flee north, ran all the way to Nanxin City, and met with Guan Yu...

Zhao Yun and Ma Chao immediately joined forces and quickly chased Chen Dao.

The army joined Yundu and Huang Zhong and surrounded Nanxin City.

After breaking through the siege, Zhang Fei escaped for more than 30 miles before he was able to count the troops.

As a result, the rebels who escaped with him had only a total of more than 300 people... At this time, Zhang Fei also heard about Pang Tong's defeat in the battle.

"I have said it long ago that a child with yellow mouth is useless!"

Zhang Fei patted his thigh and cursed, and then fell into deep thought.

My brother Liu Bei fled from Zhijiang and his whereabouts are unknown. Although the Huangkou child was useless, he did one thing right, which was to ask Ma Liang to withdraw his troops in advance and retreat to Changsha. Well, for now, I can only retreat to Changsha and join forces with Ma Jichang.

I believe that if my brother escapes, he will definitely meet me in Changsha.

Thinking of this, Zhang Fei made up his mind.

He led his men and fled straight to Jingling, but got news halfway that the Han army had captured Jingling.

"Three Generals, what should I do?"

The person who spoke was named Zhang Cun, whose courtesy name was Churen, was from Nanyang County. This person was also quite talented, but he had never been incompatible with Pang Tong. No wonder, Zhang Cun came from a poor family, and it was reasonable to be incompatible with Pang Tong. Now, under Zhang Fei's account, he serves as the chief clerk.

In history, he worked for Liu Bei and followed Liu Bei to Sichuan.

Pang Tong died of Luofengpo, and Liu Bei was sad, but Zhang Cun disagreed, which angered Liu Bei and deposed him.

At this time, it was already late.

Zhang Fei closed his eyes, pondered for a long time and asked Zhang Cun, "Do you know that there are traces of enemy soldiers in Yunxiang?"

"According to the horse probe, Han army flags were planted everywhere in Jingling City. However, the path leading to Huarong in Yun Township was nowhere to be seen."

Zhang Fei suddenly laughed, "I said how powerful Liu Chuang is, and he is also a proud person... Hehe, since that's the case, let's walk the Yunxiang Road overnight and retreat from Huarong to Changsha. It's too late now, and the thieves' army will relax their guards. We are just in time for the way."

Zhang Cun immediately nodded in praise, "The third general is indeed smart."

At this moment, Zhang Fei fled to Yunxiang with his defeated generals.

However, the weather in September is unpredictable. The sun is still shining brightly during the day, but after dark, it starts to drizzle.

The rain is cold, and it makes people feel even more icy when hitting people.

Zhang Fei and others braved the light rain and walked all the way. When the ugly moment was about to come, they finally arrived in Yunxiang.

The Yunxiang trail is densely covered with rivers, but silent. Zhang Fei hurriedly asked people to speed up, striving to reach Huarong before dawn. However, this light rain made the road more muddy. When he reached a river beach, he was already trapped. Seeing that the team was getting slower and slower, Zhang Fei finally couldn't suppress his hot temper and kept beating the soldiers and ordered the soldiers to speed up. After crossing the river, there was a path with bushy hillsides on both sides and a small path in the middle. Zhang Cun told Zhang Fei that as long as he passed this path, it would be completely safe. After hearing this, Zhang Fei hurriedly urged the soldiers to speed up again, wanting to pass the path as soon as possible...

But for some reason, the road is more muddy and uneven than the previous roads, which is extremely difficult to walk.

Halfway through the walk, many people were already trapped in the mud pit. Zhang Fei rode on the horse and felt that the situation seemed to be abnormal.

"Chu Ren, I remember this road was not so difficult before."

"Yes, I remember that although this road is rugged, there are not so many mud pits on the road."

Zhang Fei quickly strangled the war horse, his eyes rolled, and suddenly shouted: "No, we are ambushed!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a rapid sound of chuckling from the hillsides on both sides. Then, dense soldiers wearing straw raincoats appeared from the bushes. These soldiers held bows and arrows in their hands and fired arrows on the mountain road. With rainy arrows, thunder and fire would fly down the path from time to time. With violent explosions, balls of fire rose up, blowing Zhang Fei's troops into flesh and blood.

Zhang Cun was even more caught off guard and was blown away by a thunder fire...

Zhang Fei quickly turned his horse's head and wanted to escape, but he didn't know that he had just run out a few steps. Xi Yuyu, the horse under his crotch, sank into the mud pit. Zhang Fei was also very skilled in riding, so he was not thrown off. But it was just this panic that the snake spear in his hand had a flaw, and a sharp arrow suddenly flew over Zhang Fei's arm. Zhang Fei screamed in pain, almost knocking off the Snake Spear. Then, the arrow flew over like rain. Such a dense rain of arrows, not to mention that Zhang Fei was not injured, it was difficult to avoid when he was at the peak, let alone that he was trapped in the mud pit, and he was injured on his body... In just a blink of an eye, Zhang Fei and his horse were shot like a hedgehog, and fell off the horse.

The rain of arrows lasted for a cup of tea before gradually stopping.

On the hillside, the lights suddenly turned on. Lu Meng and Xu Sheng appeared on the hillside on one side. Looking at the path with corpses everywhere at the foot of the mountain, a smile flashed across their faces.

Xu Sheng seized Jingling without any effort.

After Lu Meng arrived in Jingling, he suddenly came up with a plan when he was patrolling the Yunxiang trail.

"On the battlefield, there are inevitably fish that miss the net.

It would be fine if it was an ordinary person, but he would escape on his own after defeat. However, if it was Zhang Fei and Chen Da, he would have to be on guard... We could set up a sinkhole on the trail and then ambush the two sides, pretending to be a garrison in the city, but in fact they would be ambushed on the trail to lure the rebels into the bait. During the day, they might not dare to pass, but if it was passed at night, it would be difficult to detect the ambush on the road. When you and I were ambushed all the ambushed and then shot with bows and arrows, they would definitely win a great victory."

Xu Sheng was immediately overjoyed when he heard Lu Meng's plan.

He nodded repeatedly, and then lie down here with Lu Meng.

"Is it Zhang Fei?"

When Xu Sheng and Lu Meng walked to the path and saw Zhang Fei's body clearly, they were shocked.

Xu Sheng couldn't help laughing even more, "Zi Ming, if you can shoot Zhang Fei today, Zi Ming should remember his first merit... With this guy's head, how could Zi Ming not become successful?"

Xu Sheng knew very well about the grudges between Zhang Fei and Liu Chuang.

Now that Zhang Fei has died in the Yunxiang Trail, Liu Chuang must have found out. He will definitely be very happy...

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

Just as Fa Zheng thought, after Liu Bei and Liu Feng fled from Zhijiang, they planned to retreat to Yidao.

However, the barbarians in Wuxi were rampant along the way, so they had to avoid them carefully. On the way to Yidao, Liu Bei was injured by poisonous arrows from Wuxi barbarians and was unconscious. Then, Liu Chuang and Zhuge Jun, that is, Ge Jun, joined forces to capture Yidao and cut off Liu Bei's escape route.
