Chapter 524: Actions of the Parties
That's right, Pang Tong is a fan of Liu Bei. Liu Bei didn't know what he did when he was young, in the eyes of the younger generation of scholars, how exemplary it was. He exterminated locusts, he wrote books, he accused the Son of Heaven, he mentioned poetry in prison, he started a new school, he put down rebellions...... So far, it has single-handedly created such a big foundation. If it weren't for him, the world wouldn't have known what the chaos would have been. Think about it, Yuan Shu will be the emperor in Jiangdong, Yuan Shao will hold the Son of Heaven hostage in the north, and princes such as Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Lu Bu, Gongsun Zhan, Liu Biao and other princes will conquer each other. Without Liu Bei, what will happen to the world of this big man?
Who is the feeling of taking the world as their own responsibility? Who counts the people as people? Who is the courtesy and the courtier? Who is perseverance, benevolence, filial piety, and respect? It's Liu Bei. There is an endless amount of brilliance in him. Let the people struggling in this darkness still be able to see the hope of the future and still have infinite longing for the world.
Just when the Pang family was discussing the future, Xiangyang finally made a move, and transferred Liu Pan back to Xiangyang to face Sun Ce.
Nanyang is important, but Xiangyang is even more important. If the nest is copied by Sun Ce, what is the point of guarding Nanyang? The officials of Nanjun are very funny, but when Xiangyang is in urgent need of reinforcements, they began to push back and grind. Only Zigui ordered Li Yan to lead 2,000 soldiers to help.
Liu Biao was angry with the counties of Nanjun in his heart, but now he was really powerless in the face of the ministers' non-cooperation, so he had to make a note in his heart. Seeing that Li Yan led the army to, he was overjoyed, so he worshiped and engaged in sacrificial wine, so that he led troops to guard Xiangyang.
Liu Pan arrived in Xiangyang, and after a short rest, he hurriedly led his troops out of the city and down the river, and he must refuse Sun Ce's troops outside Nanjun, otherwise when he enters Nanjun, he will not attack Xiangyang, but only cut off the back road of Xiangyang, which is enough to cause panic among the people of Jingzhou. And once the back road of Xiangyang is broken, will the counties south of Nanjun still listen to Xiangyang? At that point, there is really no way back.
When the soldiers gathered at Lankou, they met Sun Cejun. When the enemies saw each other, they were very red-eyed. The two armies didn't say a word, but picked up their knives and went on. The battle was fought in the dark.
Liu Pan wants to protect the foundation of Jingzhou, and Sun Ce wants to avenge his father. Both sides are red-eyed, and they are all fighting bravely to be the first, fighting to the death and not retreating. After this battle, Sun Ce felt a big difference. At least the Jingzhou soldiers led by Liu Pan are completely different from the Jingzhou soldiers led by Huang Zu. Huang Zu's subordinates, not to mention the cowardice, the number of dead people is a little more, the formation will collapse immediately, and if they repeatedly rush to kill, the whole army will be in chaos. And Liu Pan here, when a soldier dies, he will automatically make up for one, just like a machine. And he is also ruthless, often exchanging injuries for injuries, and fighting for his life.
Sun Ce looked at the figure of the tiger roaring and constantly rushing forward, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration in his heart. He is also a brave and belligerent, so he naturally knows that the improvement of the soldier's combat power is indispensable to the influence of Liu Pan, the main general. It's just a pity.
No matter how fierce Liu Pan is, he is also a human being. What's more, Sun Ce is more fierce than him. There are also generals such as Cheng Pu, Jiang Qin, and Zhou Tai who are as fierce as him. Therefore, he rushed back and forth for several hours, and he couldn't bear it. The physical strength has reached the extreme, and if you don't retreat at this time, you will die here.
Liu Pan is not afraid of death, but he knows that Jingzhou at this time cannot live without him. So he ordered Mingjin. led the troops to slowly withdraw from the battle circle. Sun Ce naturally would not let go of this opportunity to beat Liu Pan in the group, and despite the fatigue of his own sergeants, he led the ranks and tails to chase after him. The two armies chased along the riverbank. Liu Pan was exhausted and surrounded by a small hill. Sun Ce's generals attacked, Liu Pan rested for a while, regained his spirits, and raised his sword to fight. rushed back and forth to kill a few times, and suddenly the mount under his crotch let out a mournful roar. But he couldn't move Liu Pan anymore. Liu Pan turned over and dismounted, gently helped the horse, and said in a low voice: "You have a good rest, and after I rush out, you will come to find me again!" ”
So he abandoned his horse and knife to fight, lined up the crowd, bloody and heavy armor, and finally led the soldiers to kill again before Sun Ce closed the siege. Seeing this, Sun Ce couldn't help but sigh and said, "How brave Liu Pan is! ”
Liu Pan retreated to Yicheng and set up camp, wrote to Liu Biao, and said: "Lord, the thief has come in two ways today, and there is no help inside and outside. The minister is in Yicheng, and Sun Ce will not be allowed to take a step north, and the lord should make plans as soon as possible. ”
Liu Biao received Liu Pan's letter and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This nephew of his has always been arrogant, and if the situation was not critical to a certain extent, he would never have written to let him make a plan in advance. In this way, this Jingzhou really can't be saved?
Liu Biao wrote several secret letters and asked his cronies to send them to the front line to Wen Ping and Jin Xuan. Wen Ping accepted the letter, and at a glance, his face changed. It turned out that Liu Biao told him in the letter that when Cao Cao was in the north and Sun Ce was in the south, Jingzhou was only afraid that it would be difficult to protect. I wonder if you have any ideas?
Wen Ping's face was cloudy, as the number one general in Jingzhou, he naturally knew that the situation in Jingzhou was not good. It's just that now it has been confirmed by Cousin Liu, and it seems that the future is more clear. Jingzhou has become like this, as a martial artist with pursuits and ambitions, he is naturally reluctant to follow Liu Biao, who obviously has no future. It's just that he fought with Cao Jun repeatedly, so that he surrendered Cao in front of the battle, but he didn't want to.
The same is true in history, Liu Cong surrendered to Cao, and also dragged Wen Ping to go with him, but Wen Ping said: "You can't hire the whole state, you should just be punished." Later, although he still demoted Cao, it can be seen that he has inner contradictions and struggles.
After thinking about it again and again, Wen Ping gritted his teeth and wrote a letter to Liu Biao: "The king is in one day, and the minister is in one day!" "Anyway, if you are in Jingzhou for one day, I will serve you for one day. As for the future, you can see it, and if there is a good way back, I will go with you. If it's the end of the road, then I can't blame myself for not being loyal.
Jin Xuan's side was direct, and he replied that he was willing to live and die with the envoy. There is no way, as a staunch Hanchen, he can only follow Liu Biao, the only one in this place who can represent the clan and the imperial court.
Liu Biao received the reply from the two, and he really didn't know what it was like.
Zhao Yun was in Hanoi, killed Yuan Shangjie and retreated, and then crossed the river to besiege Luoyang, but when he was about to make a contribution, he was stabilized by the high-ranking cadres who rushed quickly. Zhao Yun came from Taihang, the supply was inconvenient, and he was about to retreat. Suddenly, the flying horse sent Liu Bei's messenger. opened it and took a look, but he ordered him to go south to Jingzhou and pick up Liu Biao to retreat.
Zhao Yun received the order and led the elite to ride Hongnong south. Zhang Yan led his headquarters back to Qingzhou.
Zhao Yun was also thinking along the way, since he had let himself go south, why didn't the lord let him directly assist Liu Biao in guarding Jingzhou? Later, I thought about it again, I may not be able to hold it when I come, and as soon as I join the war, the lord is afraid that he will be passive. The war has been fought for several years in a row, and this loss is only astronomical. It was not easy to seize You, He, and Jizhou, but it was not a good choice to start the war before it was properly digested.
