Chapter 105 Return of the Great Victory
After opening the courtyard door, they saw Fu Shiren leading several soldiers holding torches, surrounded by two soldiers.
As soon as the soldier saw Liu Bei, he immediately knelt down on the ground, took out a bamboo tube from his arms, and raised it above his head: "Qizhou Mu, I am the pass cavalry of the Young Master Division. Our army yesterday afternoon, in Hongling encountered Taishan Changxi's army, and a fierce battle broke out."
"Oh? What was the result?"
A hint of joy flashed in Liu Bei's eyes, and he took the bamboo tube and poured it out. The silk book inside waved his hand towards Chuanqi: "You can get up and talk first."
The two riders responded with excitement and joy on their faces and stood up.
The leader continued: "Our army defeated the Taishan Army with just one charge. The formation was cut down 400 levels, more than 1,600 people were captured, and the enemy general Chang Xi was captured alive. The entire Taishan Army was wiped out. No one can escape!"
"What?"
Liu Bei had just opened the silk book in the bamboo tube and didn't even have time to look at it carefully. He, Qianzhao and Fu Shiren were surprised by Chuanqi's words. Stayed.
Randomly, Liu Bei got angry: "You are talking nonsense, do you know that you will be punished if you lie about the results of the battle!"
It's not that Liu Bei doesn't have enough structure, it's that this news is too exaggerated.
Liu Bei agreed to let Liu Feng participate in the battle this time. The main purpose was to let Liu Feng experience and feel the environment and atmosphere of the battlefield. Not to mention expecting Liu Feng to establish military exploits. As long as Liu Feng was not injured, he would I am satisfied.
“Are you bullying me into not daring to kill you?”
With two puffs, the two knights who had just stood up knelt down again, and the joy on their faces disappeared. Empty, replaced by fear and panic, I don't understand why Liu Bei suddenly got angry.
Liu Bei was angry. When did his precious son learn to lie about the results of battles?
Moreover, he did this right in front of Qianzhao. Not only did he lose his face, Brother Big Ear was also worried that Qianzhao would have a bad impression on Liu Feng and affect his future.
But although the two knights in front of them were full of fear, they still stumbled and explained that they were not lying. It was indeed a great victory.
"Xia, General Xiahou...jun, also brought...Chang Xi to take over Zhuang City."
The messenger clearly said something to announce the good news, but his expression was like She was crying in mourning, but no one present dared to laugh out loud.
Liu Bei wanted to get angry again, but Qianzhao stopped him.
Qianzhao pointed at Chuanqi and reminded Liu Bei: "Brother, from the look on this man's face, it doesn't look like he is lying about the military situation."
Following what Qianzhao pointed to, Liu Bei looked over, and sure enough, Chuanqi's expression There was fear, grievance, and confusion, but there was no cunning, and it didn't look like he was lying.
"Is it really a great victory?"
"It is indeed a great victory! I am willing to put my head on my neck to guarantee it."
A knight dared to use his head to guarantee it, Liu Bei's heart The anger disappeared instantly.
After calming down, Liu Bei felt that he was a little worried about gains and losses. It was all the fault of that traitor. He insisted on going to the front line, which made me worried behind him.
After reprimanding the traitor in his heart, Liu Bei hurriedly opened the silk book in his hand and read quickly by the light of the torch.
After reading, Liu Bei clapped his hands holding the silk book and shouted: "Okay!"
Then Liu Bei handed the silk book to Qianzhao: "Zijing, read the silk book quickly. , Your nephew has made a great contribution this time!"
Qianzhao took the silk book and read it quickly. What was written in the silk book was similar to what Chuanqi said.
Liu Feng's troops directly defeated Changxi in one battle, and even captured the entire opponent's army. The entire enemy west of Tancheng had been wiped out, and Xiangbi, Lanling and Chengxian were no longer in danger.
Xiahou Bo and Chen Dao took their guards Qu and Chang Xi to take over Zengcheng, while Liu Feng took the main force, the wounded and prisoners back. They would reach Tancheng in two or three days at the latest. Uncle Fang offered prisoners.
Liu Bei was completely relieved now, and he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
Qianzhao was also shocked. Liu Feng actually defeated many with less and wiped out all the enemies?
No, shouldn't Liu Feng be only ten years old?
How to lead an army at the age of ten?
Qianzhao felt that his head was full of questions, and he had many questions he wanted to ask Liu Bei.
Seeing Qianzhao's confused look, Liu Bei laughed and couldn't stop having fun.
"Aren, ride down with the two disciples, entertain them well, give them food and wine, and let them have a good night's rest. Tomorrow, give each of them a reward of 500 yuan, and then let them go back."
< br>“Yes, your Majesty!”
Fu Shiren respectfully accepted the order and left with the two riders who thanked him profusely.
Liu Bei then closed the courtyard door, returned to the house with Lianzhao, and described in detail what Liu Feng had done since he came to Tancheng.
As he spoke, Liu Bei himself burst out laughing.
Liu Bei was originally extremely satisfied with Liu Feng. He had an encounter with an immortal, had early wisdom, could make money, could recognize people, and was able to govern a county at a young age.
Although Liu Bei let Liu Feng out, in fact Liu Feng's intelligence information was continuously sent to his desk.
Before going to bed every night, he would carefully read the news about Liu Feng sent to him, even if the news was probably from yesterday or even the day before yesterday.
But Liu Bei still enjoyed it, so he also knew clearly what Liu Feng was doing in Xiangben County.
On the one hand, he was also a little angry. This traitor actually ignored Zijing. He behaved so randomly at such a young age. What would happen in the future? Did he still want to ignore him?
On the other hand, he was also very satisfied with Liu Feng's governance regulations, and even felt that there were many merits in them, and it was worth looking for opportunities to promote them to other places in the state in the future.
While being satisfied, Liu Bei was also a little worried about Liu Feng's ability in military strategy.
After all, in these troubled times, the knife handle is the most important thing.
But now, Liu Feng has sent a perfect answer sheet, which makes him feel relieved.
Liu Feng needs meritorious service, which is the fundamental reason why Liu Bei agreed to let him go to the battlefield.
Even if Liu Bei only has one son, Liu Feng, if Liu Feng wants to take over, he still needs credit.
Without credit, how can one suppress the arrogant and powerful generals? Without credit, how can one control the elders of the two dynasties.
In history, despite Guangwu's great prestige, he still worked hard and paved the way for Emperor Ming to ascend to the throne.
Liu Bei didn’t quite understand it when he read history books before, but now he feels the same way.
Qianzhao originally thought that Liu Bei was trying to answer his questions, but why did the more he listened to his questions, the more questions he had?
A ten-year-old child may be smarter, precocious, or famous, but he is still just a child.
After listening to Liu Bei's narration, Qianzhao still felt that his head was full of questions.
However, Liu Feng will return to Tancheng soon, and I believe that this nephew should be able to give him a good explanation.
******************
In Kaiyang City, Zang Ba and Wu Dun looked at each other.
This morning, when the messenger came to persuade Zang Ba to surrender, he brought with him this good brother of Zang Ba. The purpose was naturally to ask Wu Dun to help persuade Zang Ba to surrender.
A few days ago, Wu Dun abandoned the city and fled. It can be said that he was not resolute.
It's a pity that he couldn't abandon his close confidants in the end.
If you ride alone, you still have a high probability of escaping.
But if you take two to three hundred people and run away, the speed will be too slow.
Even though Zhang Jie set off a long time late, he still caught up with Wu Dun at the Jishui River. The strength of the two sides was greatly different, and Wu Dun's army had no intention of fighting. As soon as they fought, Wu Dun was defeated and fled in a hurry. .
It was just Zhang Lie's bad luck that Wu Dun escaped.
But Wu Dun's luck seemed to have ended here. After escaping Ji Shui, he unexpectedly encountered Zhao Yun waiting for help, but in the end he couldn't escape.
In this chase, it was Zhao Yun who had the last laugh, and Zhang Lie was so angry that he almost died.
Who knew that I had been chasing for a long time and fought hard, but the biggest result was that I ran into Zhao Yun's hands.
In fact, Zhao Yun was also fighting for the rear of the entire army, fearing that once Wu Dun successfully broke through, he would get behind Zhao Yun's troops.
This was the first time he was in charge of a battalion by himself, so he was naturally very cautious, but he did not expect that his luck would be so overwhelming. A great achievement was to break out of the siege by relying on his own skills, and then jumped into his arms.
It can be seen that the rumor that the spearmen in the world are lucky in eight fights, Zhao Yun only gets one stone, and the other spearmen share two fights, is not groundless.
About this, Wu Dun naturally did not admit it. He even said fiercely that he had resisted tenaciously, but he was no match for the majestic man with a white horse and a silver gun opposite him, but it did not mean that he was cowardly.
Unfortunately, everyone’s focus is still on Zhao Zilong, who was rushed into his arms by the meritorious service.
Zhao Yun was as upright and humble as ever. He did not treat Wu Dun harshly, but treated him with courtesy. After arriving at Chen Deng's camp, he sent Wu Dun over and told Chen Deng the whole story. Even Zhang Lie's credit was not covered up at all.
Chen Deng was immediately overjoyed. Guan Yu had actually sent a report. Although Zhang Jie failed to capture Wu Dun, he also captured his family.
As a result, Wu Dun's entire family was already in the hands of the Xuzhou Army.
It was precisely for this reason that Wu Dun was invited by Chen Deng to accompany the messenger to persuade Zang Ba to surrender.
"Brother, I'm sorry."
Wu Dun lowered his head in shame. Zang Ba gave him Jiqiu to station and gave him an early warning.
As a result, the Xuzhou Army suddenly moved north. He couldn't even spread the news, and he became a prisoner of the Xuzhou Army.
But Zang Ba smiled, as if he didn't mind at all: "There is nothing to be sorry for. You are just such a small person, do I still expect you to be able to defend Ji Qiu?"
Although Zang Ba obviously didn't. Although he meant to blame him, Wu Dun was still very ashamed. After hesitating for a long time with his head lowered, Wu Dun raised his head slightly and asked in a low voice: "Brother, what are you going to do now?"
Wu Dun's words made Zang Ba confused. silence.
What to do?
Zang Ba himself also knew that this was an urgent problem. The tens of thousands of people in Kaiyang, three thousand robes, and several of his sons and confidants were all on his mind.
Zang Ba has always regarded himself as a rational person. He has never had excessive greed or desire. He can always assess the situation and make decisions that are most beneficial to his group.
But this time, Zang Ba always felt that there was some emotion interfering with his decision-making, making him unable to make up his mind.
Yes, Zang Ba himself knew that Kaiyang was at the end of its rope.
If we don’t surrender, we will only suffer the consequences of three thousand Paoze brothers, and tens of thousands of Kaiyang people will die together.
But he just refused to give in!
I am not willing to give in!
Wu Dun suddenly raised his head, rubbed his neck and said: "Brother, if I don't leave, I will stay and help you!"
Zang Ba felt warm in his heart and looked at his brother , with tenderness flowing in his eyes: "Idiot, my eldest brother needs your help even though he is in the sun? Are you looking down on your eldest brother?"
"No, no."
Wu Dun lowered his head in embarrassment.
The two sides fell into silence again. After a while, Wu Dun's voice sounded again, but much softer.
If you don’t listen carefully, you really can’t hear clearly.
"Brother, why don't you surrender?"
But Zang Ba heard it and heard it very clearly.
He sighed and said, "I can't get over the hurdle in my heart."
After a pause, Zang Ba continued to speak, as if he was talking in his sleep: "Just think, half a year ago, Where was Liu Bei when we broke up Tulangya? His name is Pingyuan Xiang, but does he have even one county in Pingyuan? "And we have to watch the whole Langya?" Our faces."
"Even if Xiao Jian is the governor of Langya whom the imperial court worships, who in Langya would recognize him at that time?"
"Fourth, you know what I regret most? Something? ”
"What's the matter?"
"I regret that I didn't lead the troops south to rescue Tao Gong last year. Even if I risked my life and lost Kaiyang and Langya, I should have gone to Tancheng once."
< br> Only then did Wu Dun understand that his eldest brother was jealous of Liu Bei. He was jealous that he had easily obtained the official position of Xuzhou Mu, he was jealous that he had received the legacy of Tao Gong, and he was jealous that he had the support of Xuzhou scholars and powerful men.
Maybe he is jealous of the other party's ability.
Zang Ba probably felt that his ability was superior to Liu Bei's.
But who could have imagined that less than half a year after Liu Bei took control of Xuzhou, he already had the strength to swallow up the foundation he had built for ten years in one go.
Wu Dun knew that this was his inner demon, and he couldn't solve Zang Ba's problem.
But he didn’t want Zang Ba to die in Kaiyang like this, not to mention there were many people he knew in Kaiyang.
"Brother, I'll leave first."
Wu Dun stood up to say goodbye. Zang Ba raised his head in confusion and took a moment to react.
"Okay, then I'll take you out."
After Wu Dun returned to Chen Deng's camp, he told Zang Ba's thoughts exactly.
This is not a betrayal, but a hope that the resourceful Chen Deng and Lu Su can find a way to persuade Zang Ba.
Wu Dun only had a very simple wish, he hoped that his eldest brother could survive.
************
When Liu Feng returned to Tancheng with his troops, Liu Bei personally went out of the city to greet him.
He led Zhao on his left and Mi Zhu on his right, leaving Tancheng for two miles to meet Liu Feng.
For this big battle, Liu Feng naturally did not dare to neglect, and directly dismounted and walked to Liu Bei.
"Young man Liu Feng, please pay homage to your father. Stay away, uncle!"
When it comes to marriage, Qianzhao is naturally above Mi Zhu, but when it comes to status, Mi Zhu wants to throw away Qianzhao. It's a long way to go.
Not to mention that only Qianzhao is here today, even if all Liu Bei's men are here, the second person Liu Feng can pay homage to is Mi Zhu.
However, Mi Zhu felt that he would rather Liu Feng could call him by another name.
"Ming Gong, the young master is very promising, but he is only ten years old, and he is able to protect the country and the people, and defeat powerful enemies. According to historical records, Gan Luo worshiped the prime minister at the age of twelve. I deeply think that he is a hero. There is no more true prodigy than a child prodigy. "
Mi Zhu said: "But today I met the son of the envoy, and I realized that Gan Luo is not worthy of being a prime minister. He is a hero among men as he is a general and a prime minister."< br>
Mi Zhu’s rainbow fart was scratching Liu Bei’s itch, causing the latter to burst into laughter.
Later, Liu Bei stepped forward to help Liu Feng up, took his hand and said: "Don't praise you today for being a general and becoming a prime minister. You barely have military achievements, but your civil skills are still far behind."
< br>Liu Feng wants to roll his eyes and give it to Brother Big Ear, won’t your conscience hurt if you say this?
Your son, I have worked so hard to build Xuzhou’s foundation and almost sold myself, but you still have the nerve to say that I don’t have any martial arts skills?
Who created hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land outside Xiangben County?
Who recruited Lu Su, Xu Sheng, and Pan Zhang?
It’s the brother next to you who is leading the way. If it weren’t for your son or me, he would have surrendered to Yuan Shao!
Can Liu Feng say these words?
Obviously not, so Liu Feng could only say righteously: "My child will definitely learn a lot from Bie Jia and try his best to be as capable an official as Bie Jia."
Liu Beiwen Yan was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.
Mi Zhu Gujing Bubo's face also showed a just right flattered smile, and she glanced at Liu Feng gratefully.
Liu Feng has always felt that Mi Zhu's ability is actually very high, especially his ability to see people. Although he is not as good as Liu Bei, he is still first-class.
When it was finally his turn to lead the way, Liu Feng just said one sentence with deep affection: "Uncle, I have finally come to you." My heart was boiling hot.
This eldest nephew is so good at getting things done. Doesn’t he feel like a biological uncle when he says this?
“Did you blame your uncle for refusing to go with you?”
When Liu Feng went south, he wanted to ask Qianzhao to go south with him, but Qianzhao did not agree.
By that time, the news that Liu Bei had become the shepherd of Xuzhou had spread to the North. After all, Liu Bei had sent people to pick up his wife, children, and children.
But Qianzhao is a little unhappy. Brother, you just know how to pick up your wife, children, and children. Have you forgotten that brother is still waiting for your conquest?
After Liu Feng could not persuade Liu Feng to move forward, he became worried and hurriedly sent flying cavalry to Xuzhou to remind Liu Bei to prepare for the move.
Otherwise, due to the difficulties and obstacles on the road, Qianzhao may not be able to receive Liu Bei's conquest now.
It can be seen that Liu Feng paid too much for Liu Bei.
Liu Bei couldn't help but blush a little when he mentioned this. He really had completely forgotten about the move at that time.
So he wanted to change the topic, but coincidentally there was a topic that he was also extremely interested in.
"Let's go and show my father the good soldiers you have trained."
Liu Bei was very interested and urged Liu Feng, wanting to see the thousand Danyang soldiers allocated to Liu Feng How elite they are, able to defeat many with less, and completely wipe out Chang Xi in one battle.
Liu Feng was good at everything, and he could tell that not only Liu Bei was interested, but Mi Zhu and Qian Zhao were also very interested.
When everyone reached the flank of Liu Feng's marching column, Liu Feng raised his hand and made a gesture, and Xu Sheng shouted: "Turn right!"
Then the entire square All the soldiers in the formation turned to the right.
This scene stunned Liu Bei, Mi Zhu, Qian Zhao and others.
In fact, it's no wonder they were so surprised. This kind of neatness is really a bit foul in this era.
Fortunately, unlike my Qing Dynasty, most people in this era are divided into left and right.
After all, there is no distinction between left and right. How to identify the left and right folds?
If you don’t know the right and left, how can you differentiate between Hua Yi and Hu Han?
Therefore, the difficulty of Liu Feng's troops' practice turning was much lower than Liu Feng originally expected, and the progress was greatly accelerated.
"This...how do you practice this?"
Liu Bei was surprised and thought of asking Liu Feng beside him.
Liu Feng smiled but did not answer and made another gesture.
Xu Sheng shouted again: "Salute to Uncle Fang!"
The whole army raised their right hands together, chest level, and then lightly hammered the left chest.
"Uncle Fang is victorious! Xuzhou is victorious! Our Xuzhou army is mighty!"
