Chapter 331 Quickly tidy up the five-year agreement
Just when Sun Quan was stunned, a troop had quietly arrived at the border of Yuzhou.
"Brother, is it unbenevolent for me to attack without telling you this time?" Guan Yu asked worriedly.
"No, everyone knows that although Cao Cao is called a Han official, he is actually a Han traitor. Not long ago, he not only killed Dong Cheng and many other old Han officials, but also poisoned Concubine Dong Guifei.
Wouldn't we, the officials of the Han Dynasty, always want to kill such a wicked person and then quickly kill him?
It just so happened that the thief was surrounded by enemies on all sides, and volunteers from all directions gathered to attack him. It was as grand as when the princes challenged Dong. Although he could not prepare for a mere county guard, he was still a minister of the Han Dynasty. Is there any reason not to participate in this grand event?" Liu Bei said with a smile.
.
In fact, after staying in Jiangxia for a long time, he was a little tired of it. But to the west, Liu Biao hadn't died yet. Everyone was a member of the Han royal family. It would be too detrimental to his reputation to attack casually. To the east and south, there was a group of bastards who didn't know what their power was.
The sun was cruising on the river. As for Jiangxia's navy, it was okay to defend passively. Fighting with others was just looking for abuse. After much deliberation, I finally decided to just go north. Anyway, Cao Cao probably didn't care about him at the moment.
"Second brother, in fact, even if we attack without warning, you still have to see where we are attacking!" Zhang Fei came on horseback, "Don't forget, the eldest brother is the shepherd of Yuzhou granted by the imperial court. Now Yuzhou has fallen.
In the hands of Cao Cao's thieves, the eldest brother's trip north is just to take back the territory he should have, so it's not too much, right?"
"It makes sense. Cao Cao's thief seizing my Yuzhou is really hateful!" After being deceived by his sworn brother, Guan Yu also began to feel that going north this time was really reasonable. If he didn't go, he would look like a coward anyway.
"Okay, everyone knows this. Now we have to take advantage of the main force of the Cao thieves and be restrained by other forces. We must enter Yuzhou as soon as possible and regain the lost territory as quickly as possible.
Please tell me, you have to walk at least five hundred miles before you can rest today! But you can't treat them badly. Ask Jian Yong to prepare enough meat tonight for everyone to eat!" Liu Bei ordered the two of them.
"Here!" Seeing Liu Bei formally issuing the order, the two of them changed their playful looks and quickly devoted themselves to commanding the army.
But before he even started to give orders, he noticed a burst of smoke roaring on the horizon ahead.
But they soon discovered that it was no ordinary smoke and dust. The rumble of horse hooves indicated that it was a cavalry team, and there must be a lot of them!
"Form up your formation immediately to meet the enemy!" Liu Bei quickly ordered.
Within three minutes, Liu Jun quickly formed a square formation and was waiting. The remaining three thousand cavalry quickly moved on their horses and cruised around the square formation.
"Cavalry, shoot, shoot!" Just when the enemy army appeared a hundred meters in front of Liu Bei's army, a loud shout came out.
Subsequently, more than 5,000 long arrows were thrown out of the cavalry square formation and directly inserted into Liu Jun's position. This round of shooting alone directly caused the death of more than 500 people and injured more than 300 people to varying degrees.
"Strike the bow, aim, shoot!" the shout came again, and a second rain of arrows was fired again.
"Raise the shield!" Guan Yu finally realized and shouted immediately.
The soldiers quickly raised their shields and huddled together, but it was too late, and hundreds more casualties appeared under the rain of arrows.
Seeing that before his own army started to attack, thousands of people were shot to death by the enemy, and Liu Bei became furious.
"Uncle arrives, immediately lead troops to harass the enemy and raise troops. Prepare archers and crossbowmen for me. Follow my orders and shoot at the enemy!" Liu Bei gave the order decisively.
When Chen received the order, he immediately led three thousand soldiers and horses to kill the general. The distance between the two sides was not very far at first, but they quickly went around to both sides of the enemy and killed them quickly.
"Hmph, with just these three thousand light cavalry, do you dare to come here to die?" A deep voice came out.
The next moment, a lasso appeared in the hands of the cavalry on both sides, and with one throw and one pull, hundreds of cavalry were pulled off their horses. The second sequence of cavalry took a bow and shot an arrow, and actually shot two of them to death very accurately.
More than a thousand cavalry.
When Chen Dao saw this, he couldn't help being horrified, and thought to himself: Where did these monsters come from? It's rare to be able to shoot arrows while running, but you can still shoot so accurately?!
When I lowered my head and took a look, it became clear. It turned out that the footsteps of these cavalrymen were stepping on a piece of equipment. Through the equipment on both sides, these cavalrymen could maintain their balance. Not only could they successfully set up bows and shoot arrows on horseback, but they could also shoot arrows with ease.
I took my time to slowly aim and shoot again.
I just know that the price of this instrument is too high. Just now, he himself was almost shot through the throat by a precisely fired arrow. He acted as a crooked gangster at the critical moment, and finally he did not die in the battle.
.
But of the three thousand cavalry who followed him, only more than three hundred were left in an instant.
In desperation, Chen Dao could only choose the following retreat, otherwise the last bit of cavalry under Liu Bei's command would really be gone.
"General, the young cavalry general has retreated!" A young general said to the veteran general beside him.
"He just doesn't care. Liu Bei in front is the real leader!" the veteran said with a smile.
"Disperse!" Seeing that he was about to reach the range of the opponent's bow and arrow, the veteran shouted. Immediately, more than 5,000 heavy cavalry quickly dispersed and ran towards both sides of Liu Jun's position.
"Strangle!" the veteran general roared, leading more than 2,000 cavalry around him and the young generals on the other side to surround Liu Jun from left to right.
"You little thief from there, wait until I, Guan Yu, come to meet you!" Guan Yu became furious and immediately rushed out.
"Huang Zhong, the governor of Nanyang County, come and meet you, a cuckold!" Huang Zhong smiled and killed him.
On the other side, Zhang Fei also galloped out on his horse, shouting: "Who is coming? Do you dare to fight with me, Zhang Fei from Yan?"
"I know you have wanted to enter the palace for a long time, but there is no need for you to remind people that you are already a 'eunuch' when you meet them? Forget it, I am too lazy to talk nonsense with you, Jiujiang Zhou Tai is here to meet you!" Zhou Tai laughed.
Kill him.
The allusion between the 'cuckold' Guan Yu and the 'eunuch' Zhang Fei was told by Xie Xin to Huang Zhong when he was bored. But Huang Zhong, a big talker, had nothing to talk about at the banquet, so he told the story, which resulted in a big fuss.
Everyone in Nanyang County knew about the 'heroic' deeds of these two people.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei quickly engaged the enemy generals, but the heavy cavalry braved the rain of Liu Jun's arrows and killed them directly. As they were fully armed, and even the horses were armored, Liu Jun's bows and arrows could not defeat them at all.
They cause too much damage.
More than 70% of these heavy cavalry are from the Huang tribe, and the rest are elite soldiers from Nanyang County.
Since they became cavalry, these cavalrymen practiced shooting according to the Huang family's shooting methods every day; then, under Huang Zhong's training, they learned cavalry tactics and coordination methods.
It can be said that they are not only the most elite heavy cavalry under Huang Zhong's command, but every soldier has the strength that is not as good as that of first-rate generals, and some even have the combat effectiveness of third-rate generals.
Such a powerful force launched a "strangling" attack on Liu Jun. Liu Bei suddenly found that the elite soldiers trained by his three brothers with so much hard work were regarded by the opponent as nothing more than fluff.
For a moment, he was confused. Did he really not have the emperor's destiny? Why was the elite he had trained so hard so hard in the eyes of others?
You see, the other side didn't bother to use tactics at all, and just killed the general openly, causing heavy casualties to the soldiers under his command!
But he did recognize one thing, that is, the little old man who took the lead was actually Huang Zhong, the governor of Nanyang County! It was not too embarrassing to lose to him like this, after all, he was a famous general for a long time.
"Retreat!" Since the ones who stayed were delivering food, what reason did Liu Bei have to stay?
"Stop, don't pursue!" Seeing Liu Bei escaping, Huang Zhong gave the order to stop the pursuit.
"General, let him go like this?" Zhou Tai didn't understand.
"Liu Bei is still useful, but killing him now is too wasteful... In fact, I also want to have a good fight with Guan Yu..." Thinking of Xie Xin's request, Huang Zhong had no choice but to give up the pursuit.
"By the way, Brother Xian, what is his plan? It is best to kill such a guy as soon as possible to eliminate future troubles..." Huang Zhong looked at Liu Beijun who was escaping, and he was very curious.
When Liu Bei returned to Jiangxia, he found that Jiangxia had already changed hands.
Gan Ning had already seized the port with his soldiers and horses, and then quickly transported 5,000 Nanyang County soldiers through troop transport ships. With the help of siege equipment, he captured the small Xiling City in one fell swoop. After that, he continued to expand his results.
Directly swallowed most of the prefectures and counties in Jiangxia.
In the end, all that was given to Liu Bei was a letter of persuasion to surrender.
Seeing that there was a formidable enemy in front of him and pursuers behind him, Liu Bei finally showed his adaptable and manly spirit and accepted the letter of surrender from Nanyang County.
Soon, he packed his belongings, took his two adopted brothers, and was sent to a troop transport ship, heading east. In terms of direction, he was definitely not heading to Nanyang County.
"Little brother, do you know where we are going?" Liu Bei came to the bow of the ship and asked with a smile.
"According to the wishes of the lord, you are appointed as the governor of Yizhou. At this moment, we are waiting for you to take office!" the soldier said politely.
"Oh, is this true?" Liu Bei was overjoyed. He didn't expect that he would be the governor after surrendering.
It was only when he was sent to Yizhou that he realized that he, the governor, was almost like a polished commander, because this place was completely barbaric.
Only then did he understand why those soldiers never told him where Yizhou was. They just kept saying things like: "We're almost there... It's a good place there..."
However, he soon discovered that the situation was not that bad. At least the first batch of more than 5,000 people landed on this land and became the first batch of people under his rule.
Huang Zhong didn't do anything wrong and directly gave them enough iron tools and food. As long as they work hard, they can survive in this place safely next year.
At this point, Xie Xin, who was in the Huaxia Academy, looked at the hand-drawn world map with dismay, and whispered in a low voice: Reserve a little bit of blood for your big man, and what you have to pay is to expand the territory for me, Huaxia!
