Sun Quan had no choice but to provide a solution, and he could only follow Zhang Zhao's idea and let the generals he mentioned go to the front line to resist Liu Bei's army. Among these generals, Gan Ning suffered from dysentery and had been recuperating at home.
After receiving the edict, he had to go out to fight with illness. The first lord started from Wuxia and divided the troops into many small pieces, all the way to the border of Yiling. There were more than 70 miles of camps, which were convenient for contact and communication.
More than 40 camps, seeing Guan Xing and Zhang Baochu’s victory in the battle, they all made their mark on the battlefield and sighed: “The generals who followed me before are old, and with two such brave nephews, why should I?
Are you afraid of Sun Quan?"
While he was talking, he suddenly reported that Han Dang and Zhou Tai were coming with their troops and the first lord was preparing to fight. Suddenly, the close ministers reported: "Huang Zhong led five or six people to the direction of Eastern Wu."
The first Lord laughed and said, "Huang Zhong is not a person who will rebel against me, because I just misled the tongue and said that the veterans who followed me before had no use and did not accept their old age, so they went to the front line to fight."
After that, Zhang Bao and Guan Xing were recruited and said, "Huang Zhong has only brought such a few people this time, and it will definitely be dangerous. Nephews, don't be afraid of hard work. You can marry and help him. Huang Zhong has some credit.
OK, there must be no problem!"
After hearing this, the two bowed and took their troops to help Huang Zhong.
It turned out that Huang Zhong was indeed dissatisfied with Liu Bei's words, and personally took a knife on the horse. He just followed some soldiers and came to the Yiling camp. After Wu Ban, Zhang Nan and Feng Xi found out, he went to greet him and asked: "
Is there anything wrong with the veteran general coming this time?"
Reply: "I have been following the emperor since Changsha until now, and have made many contributions. Although I am over 70 years old, I can still eat ten kilograms of meat, and the strength in my hands can also drive a bow of two stones, and I can ride it.
Qianlima, before he was in his grade, the first lord said yesterday that the veterans who followed him had no effect, so I came to fight with the Eastern Wu and personally killed some of the Eastern Wu generals to see if they were really old.
!”
While everyone was talking, the soldiers in the front line suddenly reported that the Wu army had arrived. Huang Zhong was very happy after hearing this, so he went out immediately, got on the horse, and prepared to do a big fight.
Feng Xi and others advised: "I don't know the situation in Eastern Wu yet, so the old general should not attack first."
At this time, Huang Zhong was full of his mind to prove his thoughts. He didn't listen to the advice at all and left on a horse. Wu Ban had to let Feng Xi bring his troops to fight. Huang Zhong immediately asked for a sword in front of the Wu army.
The vanguard Pan Zhang came out to duel with him. His generals from Pan Zhang came out and saw that the opponent was very old and a little disdainful. After the two fought, they were killed by Huang Zhong in less than three rounds.
When Pan Zhang saw this, he was very angry and used Guan Yu's Qinglong Yanyue Sword to fight against Huang Zhong. The two fought for several rounds, and there was no victory or defeat. Huang Zhong fought fiercely. Pan Zhang felt that he was not the opponent, so he turned his horse's head.
Preparing to leave, Huang Zhong took the opportunity to chase and return with a victory. He met Guan Xing and Zhang Bao on the way.
Guan Xing said: "We have received the imperial edict to help the old general. Since the old general has made meritorious service, please go back quickly."
Huang Zhong thought that the two young people in front of him were mocking him and did not listen to the advice.
On the next day, Pan Zhang came to challenge again, Huang Zhong got on the horse, Guan Xing and Zhang Bao wanted to help, but Huang Zhong disagreed and only brought five thousand soldiers out to fight, and fought for less than a few rounds.
Pan Zhang pretended to fail, and left with his knife. Huang Zhong rode his horse to chase him, shouting loudly: "Don't leave! I want to avenge Guan Yu today!" He chased him for more than 30 miles, and suddenly shouted loudly from all sides.
The soldiers and horses in the ambush of the Eastern Wu came out, Zhou Tai on the right, Han Dang on the left, Pan Zhang on the front, Ling Tong on the back, all of them were veterans of the Eastern Wu, trapping Huang Zhong in the middle, and a strong wind blew up, Huang
When Zhong was quickly preparing to retreat, Ma Zhong led a team of people to kill him on the hillside, and shot Huang Zhong's shoulder with an arrow. Huang Zhong was old after all, and this arrow had a great impact on him and almost turned over.
Falling.
When the Wu army saw Huang Zhong being caught in an arrow, they attacked together. Suddenly, shouts came from the face. The two armies came out. The Wu army was killed and retreated and Huang Zhong was rescued. The people came were Guan Xing and Zhang Bao.
The two of them led Huang Zhong to the camp of the first lord. Huang Zhong was not in good health, and the arrow injury was a bit serious, which caused an infection, and the high fever did not subside, and the condition was serious.
The first lord came to visit him in person, touched his back, and sighed: "The old general was injured because of me!"
Huang Zhong said: "I am a martial artist in Changsha. I am very lucky to meet His Majesty. Now I have lived to be 75 years old and I have lived enough. I hope His Majesty will take care of his health and plan for the Central Plains!" After saying that, he fainted,
By the time the doctor came to see him, he had already died of energy for a long time.
The first lord saw Huang Zhong’s death with his own eyes and was very sad, so he prepared a coffin and sent it to Chengdu for burial. The first lord sighed: “Now the Five Tigers have passed away three people, I can’t avenge them. It’s really
What a pity!" After saying that, he took the Imperial Army and went to the Qiting Pavilion, divided into Eighth Routes, advancing on both water and land. The water route was led by Huang Quan, and the First Lord personally led the army to set off by land. It was mid-February of the second year of Zhangwu.
After Yu Yi released the news of attacking Fancheng, he divided the team into three teams and launched a plan to cross Jingshan. On the other side of Jingshan, Xiangyang is not far away, which is the territory of the Eastern Wu. In the city of Xiangyang
After receiving the news that Yu Yi was stationed in Jingshan, people were in panic. After all, the Eastern Wu transferred a large number of troops to resist the army led by Liu Bei. The city guarded was less than 30,000. However, I don’t know where Yu Yi’s troops would log in, so I don’t know.
Which city gate should be strengthened?
In the Wei court, there was also a news that Yu Yi was preparing to attack Fancheng. Cao Pi quickly summoned everyone to discuss and said, "I have added Sun Quan to the King of Wu to make him compete with Shu. When both sides suffer losses, both sides will be injured.
, We can get the benefits of the fisherman from it, but Yuyi led an army of 200,000 to cross Jingshan and cross the river to attack Fancheng. What should we do?"
Jia Xu went out to work and said, "Yu Yi is the sworn brother of the Lord of Shu. It is impossible to deviate from the Lord of Shu to attack the Central Plains. This must be a rumor!"
Sima Yi also went out to work and said, "The Grand Marshal Jia is such a bad word. Fancheng is the gateway to the Central Plains. If there is any mistake, the Central Plains will be shocked. Moreover, he was given the title of killing the Han thieves and received some support.
, not underestimate.”
Cao Pi said: "You must be careful. Let's take your troops to defend and ensure that there is no accident." Because Sima Yi advocated defense, Cao Pi directly arranged for Sima Yi to lead troops to Fancheng to resist the attack of the Shu army, but the arranged troops were not
At 30,000, this is because Cao Pi did not ascend the throne for a long time, and he had doubts about the strategic ministers around him and did not dare to release too much power.
