Chapter 56
Looking at Cai He whose head fell to the ground, Wei Yanchang let out a breath.
At this moment, it seemed that the resentment that had been suppressed for a long time was finally vented.
Wei Yan then raised Cai He's head high and said sternly:
"Cai He has been executed!"
"Those who surrender to Duke Xuande will be spared death!"
"Those who resist, kill!"
The thunderous shouts shook the surrounding Jingzhou soldiers. Their scalps were numb and their livers and gallbladders were broken.
Some people knelt on the ground and begged to surrender in fear.
Some people dispersed and fled with their heads in their hands.
But no one dared to fight to the death. Resist and avenge Cai He.
The flag symbolizing Liu Bei was raised in the government office.
After a while,
Liu Bei personally led the main force and rushed to the government office.
Seeing Wei Yan kill Cai He, he was both surprised and sighing.
Liu Biao did not hesitate. He made peace in a low voice and took back Cai He, his brother-in-law, but in the end he still couldn't escape death.
It's really ironic.
"Fancheng has already been attacked. Report the victory to Wancheng quickly and ask Yun Chang to send the main force to Fancheng."
Liu Bei ordered.
Once Fancheng is broken, Liu Biao will definitely send Xiangyang's army to fight for it.
They currently have only more than 6,000 troops, which is not enough to defend Fancheng.
There are still more than 10,000 infantry in Wancheng, just waiting for Fancheng's surprise attack to succeed. , came immediately to meet us
"Although the military advisor's plan defeated Fancheng, we still have no navy or warships."
"The next step is to cross the Han River, I'm afraid it won't be easy."
Wenpin gave Liu Bei a warning.
Liu Bei's eyes changed slightly, recalling what Deng Mu said that day, and hurriedly said:
"Do you remember that the military advisor said that after defeating Fancheng, there will be warships?"
"Where is this warship?"
All the generals looked at Deng Mu.
Everyone wanted to see what means this scheming military advisor could use to create hundreds of ships out of thin air.
"The warship is on the riverside."
Deng Mu smiled secretly and pointed south:
"Please, my lord, not stop. The army will rush out of the south gate immediately, attack the water camp, and collect the warships."""370" Shuiying?
Liu Bei and the generals were at a loss.
But Wenpin's eyes flashed and he asked hurriedly:
"Could it be that the military advisor was referring to the Fancheng navy commanded by Zhang Yun?"
"if not? Deng
Mu smiled and asked:"Does Zhongye really think that I can do magic and conjure warships out of thin air for you?""
Wenpin suddenly realized.
Liu Bei finally understood, and his face was filled with ecstasy.
Liu Biao had two naval forces on the Han River, stationed in Xiangyang on the south bank and Fancheng on the north bank. The
Fancheng navy was commanded by his nephew Zhang Yun, and there were about four soldiers. There are more than a hundred warships, and the water camp is located on the south shore of Fancheng.
It is now night, and under normal circumstances, the navy warships have docked.
If this navy warship can be intercepted, wouldn't it be possible to capture 400 warships without any effort? A warship and captured thousands of elite sailors?
"I see!"
"Unexpectedly, the military advisor actually included Zhang Yun's naval force! Liu
Bei praised him greatly, then waved his hand and shouted:
"After the order is passed, all the troops will immediately attack the water camp, and Zhang Yun's water army and I must be cut off in the north of the Yangtze River!"
All the generals accepted the order with excitement and left excitedly.
Only Wenpin hesitated, with a hint of worry in his admiring expression.
"Lord, military advisor"
"There is still some distance between Shuiying and Fancheng."
"This distance would be enough for Zhang Yun to get a warning and escape from the north shore with his warships."
"If so, I'm afraid our army will miss it."
Wenpin has always been known for his stability, and he has to worry more about everything.
With such a reminder, the joy on Liu Bei's face suddenly faded.
"Zhongye reminded us that we must be fast and let Wenyuan's wolf cavalry travel lightly, and we must not let Zhang Yun escape!"
"Lord, don't worry, Zhang Yun can't escape."
Deng Mu smiled and expressed relief, with a different meaning in his words.
Liu Bei was startled and his eyes were blank again.
Zhang Yun is not stupid. When he learned that Fancheng had been captured, he was not allowed to board the ship and escape as soon as possible?
He has long legs, so we can Can you still stop people?
"There are many people in Jingzhou who are dissatisfied with Liu Biao"
"Naturally, Wei Wenchang was not the only chess piece that Mu was playing for the master in Fancheng."
"Yi Ji Bo is one of them"
"This man was quite talented, but he was also not reused by Liu Biao. His official position was no more than a book assistant."
"Mu asked him to send a false order to General Cai He this evening. In the name of celebrating his birthday and having fun together, he sent more than a hundred loads of fine wine to the water camp to entertain Zhang Yun and other navy generals."
"At this moment, Zhang Yun and his generals were probably very drunk. Even if they learned that something had happened in Fancheng, they were too drunk to order their soldiers to board the ship and escape."
"Therefore, my lord, there is no need to be impatient, just wait for the warship to arrive."
Deng Mu did not whet Lao Liu's appetite anymore, so he explained his layout and strategy.
As for the Yi nationality, in history, it was true that he took the initiative to abandon Liu Biao and secretly defected to Lao Liu.
Because of this, Deng Mu was tricking Before Lao Liu came to Jingzhou, he had secretly developed Yi Ji into a downline like Wei Yan.
And Lao Liu's previous performance of killing Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew and defeating Liu Biao easily convinced Yi Ji to defect.
The truth is revealed.The eagerness on Liu Bei's face disappeared, replaced by joy and admiration
"No wonder Ziyu once said, how many chess pieces did you place in Fancheng?"
"It turns out that besides Wei Wenchang, there is also Yi Jibo who is secretly playing chess together."
"The military advisor's foresight and foresight are unmatched by anyone in this world!"
Liu Bei tutted in praise, with sincere admiration on his face.
As for Wenpin, his mind was churning at this moment, and his eyes were filled with unprecedented shock.
The last trace of concern was gone.
All that was left in his heart was a deep feeling. Impressed.
So he took a deep breath and bowed to Deng Mu:
"The imperial military advisor is truly a god, and I am convinced today!"
Deng Mu smiled and pointed south:
"My lord, Mu will take you to see the scenery of our Han River."
Liu Bei laughed loudly.
So he got on his horse and the group of people headed for Shuiying calmly.
…
Shuiying, inside the Chinese army's tent.
The smell of alcohol filled the air and it was a mess.
There were overturned wine jars all over the tent, as many as a hundred jars.
More than twenty navy generals, big and small, were all drunk until they fell unconscious.
"General Zhang, come on, I'll give you a toast to General Zhang."
The young scribe was still trying to persuade Zhang Yun, who was so drunk that his face turned red, to drink.
"No, I can't drink anymore. If I drink any more, I'll get drunk.~~"
Zhang Yun was half-slumped on the desk, waving his hands feebly.
"As I said, General Zhang is the best in Jingzhou. Who doesn’t know this? How can he be drunk after just drinking this little wine?"
"Come on, come on, have another drink"
"General Cai told him that he must wait for General Zhang to drink, otherwise he would not be able to deliver the errands when he returned."
Yi Ji flattered Zhang Yun and poured another glass for Zhang Yun.
Zhang Yun felt comfortable listening to flattery, so he patted his chest and said:
"You are right. When it comes to drinking, I, Zhang Yun, am the second best drinker. No one dares to be the first!"
"It's rare that Mr. Cai misses me so much. I have to drink up all his longevity wine without even a drop left!"
As he spoke, Zhang Yun raised his head and downed another glass.
Yiji raised an imperceptible sneer at the corner of his mouth, flattered Zhang Yun again, and filled Zhang Yun's cup again.
After a few more glasses, Zhang Yun could hardly open his eyes fast, and he was about to get drunk.
At this moment, the curtain was raised, and a primary school student stumbled into the tent.
"Report to General Zhang, something big happened in Fancheng!"
"Liu Bei suddenly entered the city and General Cai was killed by him. Fancheng was lost!"
Yi Ji's heart was shocked, and a flash of ecstasy flashed in his eyes.
Zhang Yun's face was blank, his eyes were blurred, and he was too confused to react.
"General Zhang, Fancheng has been lost!"
The principal jumped up and shouted excitedly at Zhang Yun.
Zhang Yun barely understood, but raised his hand and slapped the principal.
"Damn it, did you think I was drunk, how dare you lie about military information and tease me?"
"Are you tired of living and looking for death?"
Zhang Yun cursed, and even drew his sword out of its sheath, intending to kill the principal.
The principal was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and cried: (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
"General Zhang, how dare you lie? Fancheng has indeed been captured by Liu Bei!"
"The enemy is probably coming to the water camp soon!"
Zhang Yun was not completely drunk, and could not help but sober up a little at this time.
When Yi Ji saw this, he reprimanded:
"Liu Bei is still far away in Wancheng, how could he suddenly attack Fancheng?"
"Besides, Fancheng is so impregnable, how could it be easily captured by Liu Bei?"
"You must not lie about military information!"
Zhang Yun was induced by him in this way, and the little vigilance he had just now disappeared immediately.
"You bastard, you dare to lie about military information, you are seeking death!"
Zhang Yun cursed angrily, and with the strength of alcohol, he stabbed out with his sword.
The junior high school student was also unlucky. He came to report the news, but Zhang Yun just didn't believe it and killed him.
The junior high school student had no time to dodge and suddenly The sword was pierced in the heart.
He screamed and fell to the ground. After
Zhang Yun finished killing the people, he was completely drunk, staggered, raised his head and fell drunk on the ground.
Yi Ji secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"This Deng Ziyu is really unfathomable, and I don’t know what methods he used to help Liu Xuande attack Fancheng so easily!"
"It seems that I made the right choice. With the help of such amazing people, Liu Xuande will definitely achieve great things in the future!"
Yi Ji's eyes gradually glowed with a certain determination.
Then he calmed down, put his hands behind his back, walked out of the tent, and walked away.
The guard guarding the door didn't know what happened inside, and saw Yi Ji leaving on his own, but he didn't dare to stop him..
It was not until hundreds of Fancheng troops were defeated and fled from the city to Shuiying that these personal guards panicked.
So the soldiers swarmed in and wanted to report the shocking news of Fancheng's fall to Zhang Yun.
As soon as they entered the account , but all the guards were dumbfounded.
The junior high school officer who came to report the news was actually dead on the ground.
All the generals, including Zhang Yun, were drunk and unconscious. No matter they Zhang Yun was still in a drowsy state after shouting at the top of his lungs.
In this moment, Liu Jun's wolf cavalry had already reached the outside of the water camp.
The sailors in the camp had lost the command of the generals, and they were like nothing. Zhang Yun was hit like a fly on the head, and everyone was at a loss.
Seeing this, the guards had no choice but to pour a bucket of cold water down and splash Zhang Yun awake.
"General, Fancheng has been lost!"
"Liu Bei's cavalry is about to charge into our water camp. Make an idea quickly!"
Zhang Yun's drunkenness was completely wiped out, and he finally sobered up.....
Hearing the shouts of the guards, his expression suddenly changed, he jumped up and rushed out of the tent.
I saw the soldiers in the camp running around in panic.
Waves of dust and mist rolled in, and under the firelight, countless cavalrymen rushed into the water camp!
"How can this be?"
"Why did Fancheng fall suddenly?"
"This doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense~~"
Zhang Yun's voice was hoarse, his eyes were wide open, and his horrified eyes seemed to have seen the most incredible scene in his life.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
The wolf cavalry started to shoot, and a hail of arrows roared towards them.
The guards on the left and right were caught off guard and were knocked down in an instant.
Zhang Yun was almost hit by an arrow, and then he came to his senses and shouted anxiously:
"The whole army quickly boarded the ship, abandoned the water camp, and retreated to the Han River.——"
The generals in the tent were all drunk, and no one came to carry out his orders.
The navy's command system completely failed, and the soldiers could only fight on their own.
The soldiers with an idea boarded the ship and sailed into the Han River to escape without being given the military order to go to the peak.
But most of the soldiers just ran around in the camp, not knowing what to do.
"Could it be that this was Deng Mu’s trick again?"
Zhang Yun gritted his teeth and cursed secretly.
However, he didn't care about the life or death of his soldiers. He could only rush towards the warship on the trestle alone under the escort of his personal guards.
It was too late. The wolf cavalry commanded by Zhang Liao was not focused. Instead of killing, they rushed straight to the trestle.
When Zhang Yun rushed to the shore, Bingzhou Langqi had already taken the lead and blocked the way to board the ship.
The hope of escaping by ship was cut off.
Just when Zhang Yun was at a loss what to do At this moment, a shocking sound of killing sounded behind them.
Thousands of Liu Jun's main infantry troops arrived and rushed into the water camp.
The waterway was cut off by the cavalry, and infantry troops on land came to surround and kill them..
Zhang Yun and his 8,000 navy troops were trapped on the beach, with nowhere to escape.
Looking at Liu Jun's infantry and cavalry who were besieging and killing them from all directions.
Zhang Yun's face was as pale as paper, and his eyes were filled with tears. Feeling endless despair, the riding whip fell from his hand.
Blood dyed the sky above Shuiying red.
…
The sky is bright and the east is white.
The sound of killing all night finally fell silent.
Liu Bei rode his horse and whipped his whip, and slowly stepped into the water camp as a winner.
Along the way were captured naval soldiers, numbering five to six thousand, all kneeling on the ground, trembling.
Liu Bei came to the shore and saw hundreds of warships, intact and docked beside the pier.
"Report to the lord!"
"Everything was as the military adviser expected. Zhang Yun and other water camp generals were all drunk and had no time to command the navy to escape to the Han River!"
"The last general and others rushed into the water camp in time, captured Zhang Yun alive, and completely annihilated the Fancheng navy!"
"The last general has counted them, and a total of 5,000 sailors and more than 400 large and small warships have been captured!"
Zhang Liao reported the victory results to Liu Bei with excitement on his face. Liu Bei couldn't restrain his excitement and couldn't help but look back at Deng Mu.
He was so excited that he didn't know how to praise Deng Mu's ingenious plan.
"Mu said he would offer a warship to his lord, but fortunately he did not break his promise."
Deng Mu pointed at the warship in front of him and said with a faint smile:
"Four hundred warships, no more, no more, no less, no less"
"There are another five thousand soldiers who can be used by the Lord with a little reorganization."5.9
"We have ships and sailors. If we cross the Han River and capture Xiangyang, there should be no problem."
Liu Bei looked south, across the rolling Han River.
The outline of Xiangyang City seemed to be vaguely visible.
The heart of Jingzhou was only one step away from him.
The heroic laughter sounded over the river bank.
…
Xiangyang, Prefecture Mufu.
A discussion is going on
"According to my detailed report, Liu Bei is holding a wedding ceremony for Deng Mu in Wancheng these days."
"Everyone knew about this wedding, and half of the officials and celebrities in Nanyang County sent people to give congratulatory gifts!"
Kuai Yue read out the information.
Listening to Liu Bei's popularity, Liu Biao frowned secretly.
"Liu Bei arranged a wedding for Deng Mu, which means that his chief minister is now addicted to pleasure"
"It is speculated that Liu Bei will not invade the south again for at least three months."
"Three months is enough time for us to regain our strength, mobilize enough troops and horses, and go north again!"
Kuai Yue analyzed optimistically with a sarcastic sneer on his face.
Only then did Liu Biao's expression slightly improve.
"Lord, don’t worry!"
"In less than a month, our army will be able to regain its strength, and the general will personally lead the army to conquer Nanyang County!"
"This time, I will kill Liu Bei and Deng Mu with my own hands, avenge my second brother, and avenge the defeat of Bowangpo for my lord!"
Cai Mao also gritted his teeth and uttered arrogant words.
Liu Biao's face turned gloomy and he sneered:
"After all, Liu Bei came from a humble background. As soon as he took over Nanyang County, he lost his vigor and became obsessed with glory and wealth."
"I will let him enjoy it for a few more days, and let him enjoy it in the morning and evening——"
The irony has not yet been finished.
General Wang Wei rushed into the lobby with a solemn expression and half-knelt on the ground.
"Report to my lord, urgent report from Hanbei!"
"Liu Bei led his troops to raid Fancheng last night"
"Cai He was killed and Zhang Yun was captured!"
"Our Fancheng garrison and the navy on the north bank were completely wiped out!"
There was deathly silence in the mansion.
