New Story of Lv Bu - chapter 1255
In the fourteenth year of the Han Jian’an, on the seventh day of May, at the hour of chen, Jingzhou, Nanjun, outside the south gate of Yiling City.
Liu Bei’s 10,000 cavalrymen were slowly marching out of the city from the west gate. At the same time, Cao Cao’s seven thousand cavalrymen were also leaving the city from the east gate. After leaving the city, the two armies will meet in the open space south of the city, and then head south together. From Yiling to the south, fifty li can reach Yidao. Between Yiling and Yidao, there is the Yangtze River rolling eastward, but Yiling is in the east of the Yangtze River, and the Yidao is in Jiangxi, facing each other across the river.
Although the road from Yiling to Yidao is only a mere fifty li, it is extremely difficult and dangerous. Between Yiling and Yidao, there are two mountains facing each other across the river, Jingmen Mountain in Jiangxi, and Huya Mountain in Jiangdong. The two mountains bulge from the flat ground, towering into the clouds, winding and winding, stretching to the riverside. Between the Yangtze River and the mountains, there is a winding road. Although it is only two miles long, it is the best place for ambushes. Cao Cao and Liu Bei discussed the marching route from Jiangdong to Yidao, then collected ships and crossed the Yangtze River.
Among the 10,000 cavalry under Liu Bei’s command, there are 3,000 white squad soldiers. This white squad soldier is actually a horse infantry. It has always been known for its elites and has saved Liu Bei’s life many times. Therefore, these three thousand white squatters were taken care of by Liu Bei. In addition, Guan Yu has five hundred school swordsmen under his command, and is also an elite infantry chosen from one of the hundred. Zhang Fei has eight hundred light cavalry under his command, all of which are composed of Youyan good shooters, skilled in bows and horses, and 30% of them are Youzhou Miscellaneous Hus. Of the remaining more than 3,000 cavalry, half are fine cavalry, and the other half are skirmishers who have collected them along the way. In the real crisis, the only one who can be trusted is his own personal soldier, followed by two thousand fine horses.
Liu Bei is a hero in the world, and he has always been a magnificent man. Before setting off, he specially assembled the whole army and said, “Masters, that Lu Fengxian is about to fight over soon. I don’t want to sit still, so I have to go to Yangzhou to go to Sun Quan. Those who are willing to follow me only need to bring war horses, armies and food. No. Those who are willing to follow me can leave at any time! After all, traveling thousands of miles day and night is not something ordinary people can tolerate. I will be with all the monarchs, guests and hosts, and I will say it all!” When Liu Bei spoke, one person yelled. “Liu Xuzhou thinks I’m waiting for very people?” One shouted, and someone immediately followed. “I’m willing to follow Liu Xuzhou!” “His grandma! A big scar on my head!” “Right!” Suddenly, the crowd was excited, and no one wanted to escape alone.
“The monarchs treat me sincerely, and Liu Bei will tie a grass ring in return!” Hearing this, Liu Bei immediately burst into tears.
Looking back at Cao Cao, he had 7,000 fine horses, 800 of his own as the guard, Xiahouyuan led 2,000 as the vanguard, Xiahou Dun led 2,000 as the rear team, Le Jin and Li Dian each led 1,000, and his wings protected the Chinese army. Unlike Liu Beijun, in addition to food, armor battles and war horses, Cao Jun also brought pots and pans and tents. There is no way, I am really poor, and I am not willing to leave anything behind.
Seeing that at the beginning of this year, two cavalrymen lined up outside the south gate of Yiling. Then the flags were fluttered, the drum horns sounded, Liu Bei and Cao Cao’s generals slowly moved forward and met in the open space between the two armies. Behind Liu Bei are Guan Yu, Jian Yong, and Sun Gan. Behind Cao Cao are Guo Jia, Xiahou Dun, and Xia Houyuan. The two sides bowed their hands and exchanged greetings.
“Xuande, driving thousands of miles this time, the first pass is to cross Huya Mountain, the second pass is to capture the Yidao, and the third pass is to cross the river at Yidao. After these three passes, we can take a breather. Hey.” Cao Cao asked slowly with his legs clamped into the horse, controlling the agitation of the Wuhuan horse under his crotch. “Xuan De, when marching, who is in front of you and me? Who is behind? Xuan De can make a decision with one word!” Cao Cao was very witty, and Liu Bei was more generous. “Brother Meng De, it’s okay! You and I will be pioneers in turn!” “Good!” The two laughed with their palms.
Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide led more than 800 horseback riders, and ran ahead with one horse. In Zhang Sanye’s life, the person who admired the most was his elder brother Liu Xuande. Since the elder brother has spoken, let’s be a pioneer first, then be a pioneer! Don’t fight for the steamed buns, I must let Cao Jun go up and down to wait, and open a pair of dog eyes to take a look! Even if they are fleeing thousands of miles, our army will never flinch!
This run lasted more than ten miles, and Zhang Fei felt a little heartache when the horse running under his crotch was sweating profusely. Liu Beijun is no bigger than the Han army, and each cavalry has five or six horses. Most of Liu Beijun’s 10,000 war horses are Xiliang horses and Wuhuan horses donated by Nalu Fengxian, each of them only has one. Su Rili was more careful and careful to take care of the horse than to take care of his wife.
“Call!” Zhang Fei slowly grabbed the horse and turned from a quick run to a small walking army. The war horse snorted happily, and the speed gradually slowed down. Just like this, I walked forward, and after another three or four miles, a huge mountain stood in front of him, and Huya Mountain arrived. Zhang Fei raised his eyes and saw that the place where the foot of the mountain and the Yangtze River meets, the narrowest point is only three to five feet, still under the cliff.
“My general order: the whole army pulls the growth line, and passes here as soon as possible!” Zhang Fei waved his hand, and one Dubo handed his hand, and took twenty or thirty of his subordinates to fly. Zhang Fei’s legs clamped the horse’s belly, and motioned the horse under the hip to move forward. After a quarter of an hour, he passed through the narrowest section. Zhang Fei raised his eyes and looked into the distance, his eyes suddenly enlightened, and the end of the river that rolled to the south was an endless plateau.
Zhang Fei put his hands on the pergola and looked around, and at a glance, he saw a small hill two or three miles away. “Drive!” Zhang Fei flicked the rein, and ran his horse straight up the hill, looking around, lush forest everywhere. “Send an eagle letter to my eldest brother, our army has passed Huya Mountain smoothly, and there is no ambush here!” As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Fei ran straight to the Yangtze River with his feet clamped in his belly.
Cao Liu and Liu encountered some trouble crossing the Yangtze River. When Zhang Fei rushed to the river, the entire river was empty, and occasionally one or two merchant ships passed by. Seeing the cavalry on the river from a distance, he immediately raised the sails and hurried away. “His grandma is a bear! I don’t believe there is no ferry around! Search it for me! Along the Yangtze River to the south, bring me the ships and boatmen within fifty miles!” Zhang Fei immediately became angry when he saw this situation. Up. “Nuo!” The heads of the squadrons quickly responded when they saw Zhang Sanmao.
This time, it took more than an hour. Before Zhang Fei’s cavalry came back, Liu Bei’s brigade arrived. When passing Huyashan, several horses were shocked, and a dozen people died. The loss was not great. “The third brother, but can’t find the ship?” Liu Bei asked softly. At this moment, the cavalry under Zhang Fei’s commander cheered: “Come! Coming!” Everyone turned their heads and looked around, and saw twenty or thirty large and small ships coming from the south of the Yangtze River along the east bank. When the ship docked, Liu Beihe and Zhang Fei couldn’t help but frowned. There are only five or six big ships, and the rest are small boats. Fifty or sixty boatmen, old and young, all looked sad and trembling.
Upon seeing this, Xuande sighed secretly in his heart, and quickly got off the saddle, stepping forward to comfort him with a smile on his face. While talking to the old man in it, he ordered dozens of Bianzhou silver coins and stuffed them into their hands. The elders didn’t even dare to call, but Xuande insisted on giving it, and then reached out to take it. “The general is going to lead his army across the river?” the oldest old man asked. “Exactly! I wonder if the elderly can have a way?” Xuande said. “The ships are all under the Yidao city on the opposite bank. If the general wants to cross the river, he must take a boat and take the Yidao first.” The old man replied. Xuande was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly asked how many defenders there were in Yidao City. “Not much! Only five hundred paces!”
So Zhang Fei led five hundred Qingqi across the river and went straight to Yidao County. After disembarking, a charge took the Yidao county town and found more than two hundred large and small ships under Didao town. Only then did the two armies of Cao and Liu cross the river. After crossing the Yangtze River, Cao Cao led the generals to visit Zhang Fei and immediately cleaned up his clothes and gave a deep salute. “It all depends on Yide to get out of the disaster today!”
“Hahahahahahaha! Just know it!” Zhang Fei laughed. There is a faint feeling of exultation in my heart.
Yidao is a small city, only five miles around, and there are only 2,000 households in the city. Fortunately, Jingzhou has not suffered from wars for decades, the people are rich, and the treasury is abundant. Cao and Liu sent people to inspect around and found two thousand stones of grain. “Xuande, our army successfully captured the Yidao, and finally can breathe out! In my opinion, I will rest in this Yidao city for a day today, and hurry to make dry food. There are thousands of miles to go behind! You have food in your hands, don’t you panic in your heart.” Cao Cao twisted his beard and raised his eyes to Liu Bei and said.
“Brother Meng De, I just meant it! Let the soldiers live and rest for the night, cook at tomorrow’s hour, and leave at hour, what do you think?” Liu Bei replied with a slight smile. “It’s like a king’s words! A hero sees the same thing!” Cao Cao also smiled. Therefore, Cao and Liu gave an order to stop today and rest in Yidao City. The whole army slaughtered pigs and cattle, prepared dry food, cooked food tomorrow morning, and set off at midnight. Give an order, the whole army cheered and unloaded like a mountain, and the soldiers happily searched for everything that can be eaten by cattle, sheep, pigs and dogs.
Liu Bei took care of military affairs. After dinner with Guan Zhang and a few cups of thin wine, he ordered him to wear a big tub, wash and wipe it carefully, put on muslin clothes, and walked slowly to the county. Three halls. When he raised his eyes, he happened to see Cao Cao, who was also dressed normally. “Xuande, you came just right! I just finished the shower, and I have some ready-made wine and vegetables. You and I have a few glasses.” Cao Cao generally grabbed Liu Bei, and the two sat opposite each other. In an instant, the wine and vegetables were brought up with flowing water. It’s a plate of green plum and a roast goose.
I tasted green plums and drank a few cups. Cao Cao raised his eyes and squinted Liu Bei and asked: “Xuande has a long history of the Quartet, and you must know the heroes of the world. Please try to tell them.” Liu Bei smiled slightly: “Being a benevolence and being an official in the dynasty. Heroes in the world are true. There is an unknown.” Cao Cao laughed and said: “A heroic husband has great ambitions, has a good plan, has the opportunity to hide the universe, and the will of heaven and earth.” Liu Bei said in surprise: “Who can be it?” Cao Cao pointed his finger. Liu Bei, referring to himself again, said: “Today is a hero, but you can only make the king and **** your ears!”
“Hahahahahahaha!” Liu Bei let out a long laugh. “Brother Meng De, when you and I have to get out of the disaster, it’s not too late!”
