Yamaguchi Castle is so inexplicable, like a windfall from heaven, have you got it?
The generals looked at each other, unable to suppress their surprise, and for a moment they seemed unable to accept this unexpected joy.
Yan Liang was not surprised at all, as he had expected it.
Because he knew that Zhang Fei in history always neglected his subordinates. He was a drunkard and tortured his subordinates whenever he drank too much.
Fan Jiang and Zhang Da were Zhang Fei's old subordinates. Historically, these two men could not endure Zhang Fei's torture, so they killed Zhang Fei before the battle of Yiling and presented his head to Sun Quan.
It can be said that Zhang Fei's death was entirely his own fault, and he deserved it.
Now, although Zhang Da and Fan Jiang did not kill Zhang Fei, they surrendered Yamakou City so that the Chu army could land on Honshu Island without any effort. This can be regarded as achieving the same goal through different routes.
"Liu Bei thought that by transferring Zhang Fei to Osaka, he could stop me from attacking Honshu from Shikoku, but he never expected that Yamaguchi Castle on the other side would fall inexplicably. Haha, it's really not bright in the east but bright in the west.
"
Yan Liang was extremely excited and immediately issued an order to reward Fan Jiang and Zhang Da heavily in recognition of their surrender.
At the same time, Yan Liang left Lu Meng with 10,000 troops to garrison at Kagawa Castle, pretending that the army was about to cross the strait to attack Osaka Castle.
Yan Liang himself personally led an army of 50,000 people, transferred from Shikoku Island to Kyushu Island, then landed at the mountain pass from Kyushu, and invaded Honshu Island from the west.
The 50,000-strong army marched day and night without counting the day. Under the cover of Lingtong's navy, they successfully landed on Honshu Island.
Ninety thousand troops marched across the strait and entered the Yamaguchi Fortress.
In the imperial tent, Yan Liang personally summoned Fan Jiang and Zhang Da and held a banquet to commend them.
At the banquet, Yan Liang praised the two generals greatly. His kind comfort and kindness made General Fan and Zhang feel flattered.
Although they had no choice but to surrender to Yan Liang, Yan Liang's reputation as a tyrant made them fearful. They were always afraid that Yan Liang would look down on them and kill them with one knife.
Who would have thought that Yan Liang would be so kind to them? How could the second general not be overjoyed?
Frankly speaking, Fan Jiang and Zhang Da are both very mediocre in terms of martial arts and military talents, not even considered fourth-rate or fifth-rate. In the Yan Liang camp where there are so many famous generals, they are really insignificant.
Yan Liang was full of sympathy for such two little people, not only the two of them, but also the Fu Shiren in history. The same was true.
Historically, Fu Shiren could not stand the oppression of Guan Yu and surrendered to Soochow, which led to Lü Meng's attack on Jingzhou in white.
As for the second general Zhang Fan, he couldn't stand Zhang Fei's whipping with fierce wine and killed Zhang Fei and returned to Soochow.
In the novel, these three generals are described as villains who betray their masters, but in Yan Liang's view, the real villains are the two brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
If it weren't for the fact that one of Guan and Zhang was arrogant and the other was violent, despising and oppressing his subordinates, how could the three generals rebel in anger and abandon Guan and Zhang.
Faced with Yan Liang's kindness, General Fan and Zhang burst into tears of gratitude. They were grateful to Yan Liang and expressed their loyalty to Yan Liang. They all said that they were willing to go through fire and water for Yan Liang, and their hearts were torn to pieces.
At that moment, the second general truthfully disclosed to Yan Liang all the local customs, military deployment and other conditions in various parts of the state without reservation.
Yan Liang's army captured Yamaguchi City without bloodshed, which gave them an advantage. Now that they know the details of the enemy's defense in this state, it is even better.
Yan Liang immediately ordered to take Gan Ning as the vanguard and command 30,000 elite troops to advance first. Yan Liang himself led an army of 60,000 to follow, marching straight in, from west to east, all the way towards Osaka City.
Da Chu's army was invincible. In a few days, they defeated Shimane, Hiroshima, and several cities in Tottori, and their troops advanced towards Osaka.
…
In Osaka City, Liu Bei was still in his palace, lusting and humiliating the Japanese girls.
Liu Bei failed in his attempt to seize Himihu, so Himihu fled Osaka and went to Yan Liang. Liu Bei was so angry that he directed all his anger on the maid Hemihu left behind.
Zhang Fei's return to Osaka gave Liu Bei some relief. In the days after the storm, Liu Bei took turns raping and humiliating the Japanese maids.
That evening, Liu Bei, who smelled of alcohol, took off his clothes and engaged in wanton lewdness in the palace.
Liu Bei not only raped and humiliated, but also contracted a strange addiction. He liked to strip the Japanese girls naked and hang them naked in the palace. Then Liu Bei could drink and whip those Japanese girls hard with a whip.
maid.
When Liu Bei was tired from whipping, he would rape and humiliate his maid again, thinking he was resting.
In the main hall, the moans and screams of the maids came and went one after another, which was horrifying to hear.
Another maid, naked and dripping with blood, was carried out. She was already dying, and she was afraid that she was about to die.
The soldiers outside the palace sighed secretly.
Suddenly, Sun Qian rushed up to the hall, sweating profusely and panting, clamoring to see Liu Bei.
"Master Sun, Your Majesty is inside. At this time, it would be best not to disturb His Majesty's pleasure," the gatekeeper said.
"The sky is falling, you are so elegant, get out of my way!" Sun Qian shouted, pushed the waiter away, and broke into the main hall.
As soon as he entered the main hall, the cruel and erotic scene in front of him made Sun Qian dumbfounded.
Although Sun Qian had long known that Liu Bei's temperament changed drastically and the palace was filthy, when he saw Liu Bei's chaotic scene with his own eyes, he was still mentally shocked.
Is the beast in front of me really the great uncle of the Han Dynasty who had a reputation for benevolence and righteousness all over the world?
A huge question mark suddenly flashed through Sun Qian's mind.
Liu Bei, who was on his own expedition, saw Sun Qian intruding. He couldn't help but became furious and shouted: "You are so brave. You dare to intrude without being informed. Where is your decency?"
Liu Bei drank this and immediately woke up Sun Qian. Sun Qian's body shook violently, and he finally regained consciousness.
He was so busy that he lowered his head and did not dare to look directly at him. He cupped his hands and said in a trembling voice: "I don't mean to offend, but I have urgent military information of 100,000 soldiers to report. Your Majesty, the two generals Fan Jiang and Zhang Da who guarded Shankou City have led their troops to treason and surrender to the enemy. Yan Liang
The army has landed on Honshu and is heading towards Osaka Castle."
A thunder struck directly in the head.
Liu Bei, who was extremely shocked, froze there for a moment, and the thing that penetrated Huafu's crotch softened into an earthworm in an instant.
The two generals surrendered, the mountain pass was lost, and the Chu army landed on Honshu...
This series of news dropped like a mountain of treacherous weight, making Liu Bei dizzy and almost suffocated.
Liu Bei sat down on the ground, just sitting there naked with his crotch open. He was completely lost, as if his neck was being strangled by a noose, and he was gasping for air.
Sun Qian looked at Liu Bei in such a mess, so dirty, and so unsightly that he couldn't bear to look at him, and sighed secretly.
Liu Bei, who had been breathing heavily for a long time, finally took a breath and realized that he was being described as unbearable.
He stood up unsteadily and kicked the Japanese girl who was still lying there with her butt kicked and crying.
"Kill them all, kill them all for me." Liu Bei was so angry that he roared like crazy.
The soldiers outside the palace did not dare to disobey, so they could only drag away the crying Japanese women and kill them on the spot.
Sun Qian looked at Liu Bei who was going crazy. He was terrified, but he didn't dare to say anything to persuade him. He could only watch Liu Bei go crazy.
"Send Zhang Fei to me." Liu Bei yelled again.
A messenger galloped away to the harbor camp to announce that Zhang Fei, who was on patrol, had entered the palace to be a saint.
Zhang Fei didn't know the delay, so he had to put down the military affairs at hand and hurried to the palace.
At this time, Liu Bei had already packed up his belongings and put on his clothes. He was sitting there with a livid face and an angry look on his face.
As soon as Zhang Fei entered the palace, before he could pay his respects, Liu Bei yelled at him: "How did you lead the troops? Zhang Da and Fan Jiang betrayed the country and surrendered to the enemy. The Chu thieves have landed on Honshu Island without any effort. They are coming from the land to attack Osaka Castle."
Zhang Fei, who was confused about what was going on, was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood what it meant. His whole body trembled violently, and his spirit was severely impacted.
"How is it possible, how could Zhang Da and Fan Jiang betray me?" Zhang Fei couldn't believe it.
Sun Qian, who was on the side, sighed with a grimace: "This is absolutely true. Yan's army has captured Hiroshima. Emergency reports are flying in like snowflakes. Yan's army is heading towards Osaka Castle. ah."
Zhang Fei's heart felt like a heavy hammer, and a stream of extremely angry blood almost burst out of his chest.
Zhang Fei was frightened and furious, and cursed at the top of his lungs: "Zhang Da, Fan Jiang, the two thieves, I treat them badly, they dare to betray the country at this most critical moment, hateful, hateful~~"
Zhang Fei cursed like a resentful woman, as if he had forgotten how he punched, kicked, and whipped his two generals again and again.
In other words, Fan Jiang and Zhang Da are just like his sons. It is natural for me to beat my son, and it is treason for my son to betray me.
"Zhang Yide, Zhang Yide, you are a famous general in vain, but you can't even control several generals under your command. Zhang and Fan are treasonous, but you didn't realize it and handed over the power of Yamaguchi City to them. You are really wrong. If you miss my big event, you will miss the country of the Han Dynasty."
Liu Bei was so angry that he broke through the hypocrisy of brotherhood and complained and accused Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei was so angry and ashamed that his face turned red and his neck was thick from holding it in. Faced with Liu Bei's abuse and accusations, he could only freeze there and bear it with hatred.
Liu Bei scolded for a while, his anger subsided, and he shouted angrily: "Now the army of Yan thieves is marching straight in, and they are rushing towards Osaka City. All these evil consequences are caused by you. Please tell me, How should I respond?"
Liu Bei's words made it seem as if Zhang Fei was responsible for Liu Bei's current situation.
Zhang Fei was sad and angry in his heart. He couldn't hold back his anger and shouted sternly: "Your Majesty, there is no need to say any more. At this point, there is no way out. I, Zhang Fei, am willing to lead the entire army to fight to the death with that Yan Liang!" "(To be continued...)
