Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 919 Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet

"Gongming, what should we do?" Zhu Ling looked sad.

"Zhang Fei is actually in Chang'an. It seems that the news about Bingzhou may not be all true." Xu Huang's head was buzzing, and he didn't know how to respond for a while.

Zhu Ling said to himself: "There are actually problems with the memorials of the governor of Liang. I heard that there were many rumors in Luoyang a while ago."

"Wen Bo (Zhu Ling) don't think too much, Your Majesty Liang Governor's handwriting is known, and Chen Lingjun (Chen Qun) and other officials also know it. It is unlikely that the memorial will be tampered with. I just don't know why General Zhang spread the news falsely." Xu Huang frowned. locked.

"Zhang Fei is known as the enemy of ten thousand people, and his martial arts are not inferior to General Guan's. Now the enemy and our forces are evenly matched, so what can we do?" Zhu Ling looked stern.

"Wenbo can be commanded by the rear army. Wait for me to go forward to find out Zhang Fei's reality. If it doesn't work, we will withdraw to Tongguan. Now it can't pose a threat to Chang'an. The most important thing is to bring the soldiers back." Xu Huang said seriously.

Zhu Ling nodded in agreement, "It's appropriate, Gong Ming must remember not to be brave."

"I can save it." Xu Huang was always on the front line, and he knew Zhang Fei's oppressive force very well, so he couldn't afford to provoke him if he tried his best.

Liu Feng restrained Xu Huang during the battle for Nanxiang. He was capable of beheading Wang Zhong but dared not challenge Xu Huang. After joining forces with Zhang Fei, he followed obediently by his side.

The two armies arrived and lined up.

Xu Huang took the lead and shouted with a big axe: "Zhang Fei is a traitor, why did you block my way?"

"Nonsense, this is the territory of the Han Dynasty. My eldest brother is the emperor of the Han Dynasty. I can go wherever I want. How dare you come here?" Zhang Fei was not polite at all.

Xu Huang wondered how much hatred he had with Zhang Fei, why did he seem to hate himself more?He ignored so much, but retorted with a sneer: "Hehe, where is the emperor of the Han Dynasty? Your lord Liu Bei has usurped the throne, and Liu Xie has given the throne to my Emperor Wei. Now there is only Wei and no Han in the world. You black man This guy is the same age as me, and his mottled beard and hair are worse than mine, so you have the nerve to laugh at my old age?"

"Xu Huang, why do you deceive yourself and others? You used to eat Han Lu and be a Han official, but you were willing to degenerate and serve your life for the Cao thief. Now you call yourself a Wei minister, won't your conscience hurt? Then Cao Pi usurped Han and called Wei He What's the difference with Yuan Shu? My elder brother was originally a relative of the Han family, and he was enthroned as the king by the imperial edict. This is the orthodox way of the Han family. It is still too late for you to surrender, otherwise I will settle the old score with you." Zhang Fei said The Zhang Ba Snake Spear was lying across his chest, and his ferocious appearance made Wei Bing tremble.

"How can there be such a reason? Lord Shanyang is in Hanoi, how could he pass an edict to Liu Bei? The edict to pass the throne must be a forgery." Xu Huang refuted loudly at first, and then asked Zhang Fei: "Xu and you are a national enmity and have no personal grudges. What kind of old score do you want to settle with this general?"

Zhang Fei's eyes widened, and he shouted sharply: "A few years ago during the battle in Fancheng, you and Cao Ren used tricks to murder my second brother. If my nephew hadn't risen up to save him, I'm afraid you villains would succeed and plot against my second brother." Brother is a personal enmity."

"Ah, that counts?" Xu Huangxin said that it was Cao Ren's plan, but he couldn't argue with Zhang Fei at this time.

"How is it not counted? If you are willing to surrender, let the past be forgotten." Zhang Fei said playfully, smoothing his beard.

When Xu Huang was arguing with Zhang Fei, Zhu Ling was ready to retreat and sent someone to shout the message. Xu Huang did not intend to drag Zhang Fei down after receiving the message.

"Zhang Fei, it's useless to talk too much. I'm going to sell you face today, so I will lead the army back to Tongguan. If you have the courage, come and chase." Withdrew east with great vigilance.

"Uncle, why didn't you chase after him?" Seeing that Zhang Fei was not moving, Liu Feng asked anxiously.

Zhang Fei frowned, "Xu Huang has always been calm when using troops, and he retreated in front of us. If we don't keep it neat, what tricks are waiting for us. I am not what I used to be, how can I be easily fooled?"

"Eh, there's not much cover on the plain, so even if there's an ambush, you can still find it?" Liu Feng asked back.

"Hmph, Wang Zhong thinks so too." Zhang Fei glanced back contemptuously, and Liu Feng lowered his head as if swallowing a dead fly.

"General, what should we do?" Wu Er clasped his fists and asked.

Zhang Feixu answered with focus: "Keep a distance and follow slowly. I want to see what tricks Xu Huang is playing."

"only."

Xu Huang's neat and orderly convoy prevented Zhang Fei from chasing him lightly. In fact, Xu Huang was also pretending to be a ghost. The outcome of a battle with the same force was unpredictable, but the plan to raid Chang'an fell through. He felt that there was no need to fight Zhang Fei desperately.

When Wei Jun passed Huayin and began to enter Tongguan, Zhang Fei realized that he had been tricked by Xu Huang.

Furious, Zhang Fei commanded the former army to attack the soldiers behind Xu Huang, trying to seize Tongguan by fishing in troubled waters, but Xu Huang was not an idler after all, and commanded the soldiers to successfully withstand the Han army.

The Han and Wei dynasties had a small-scale fight in Tongguan, and the battle ended at the cost of thousands of casualties each.

Wei Bing retreated into Tongguan and stood firm, and Zhang Fei did not respond to any attempts to fight. Zhang Fei saw that fishing in troubled waters was unsuccessful, so he led his troops back to Huayin to continue to garrison.

When Xu Huang returned to Tongguan, he did not withdraw to Luoyang immediately, but wrote a letter to Cao Xiu to decide the situation on the front line.

A few days later, Cao Xiu submitted the battle report to Wei Emperor Cao Pi. Cao Pi thought that Xu Huang would let him send troops to attack Chang'an, but the real situation turned out to be so cruel.

Cao Pi read the battle report and became angry in court. He dispatched troops and sent generals to waste money and food, but the bamboo basket fetched water in vain. Cao Pi slapped the table and threw the wine glass, but he almost failed to vent his anger. He attributed the failure to Zhang Yun's misinformation and ordered Zhang Yun to go to Luoyang in person. He explained that if he was seriously ill and could not get out of bed, Liang Xi would send a carriage to send him back, and if there was no carriage, he would have to be carried back to Luoyang.

The Wei State could not fight the frontal battlefield, and the repeated mistakes in the intelligence work caused the confidence of Wei State officials and gentry to change quietly. Many people gave birth to Liu Bei. Jia Xu had planned and arranged the escape route in advance before he died, and those who were slightly worse were already secretly preparing.

Originally, Xu Shu just sent people to spread rumors, but now there are people in Wei State who really think about it, and the first group of people who acted first were the gentry whose family members were officials in the court.

The so-called Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet, the Central Plains gentry are all over the court of Wei State, those officials in non-core positions are thinking of changing for the future of the family, and a political turmoil is secretly brewing.

In mid-April, before Zhang Yun returned to Luoyang, Jiang Ji's urgent report from Huainan arrived first.

Han Zhendong General Gan Ning's troops came out of Ruxu, attacked and captured Xiang'an and Linhu counties in half a month, threatening Shu County, the seat of Lujiang.

The Huainan Wei army's understanding of Ruxu's generals was still in the era of Sun Quan's disastrous defeat in Xiaoyaojin. They believed that the soldiers from Ruxuwu were only good at water warfare, and they were vulnerable to ashore combat. Jiang Ji sent Zhonglang General Chang Diao to rescue Lin Lake, was beheaded by Gan Ning during the battle.

Huainan, which had been peaceful for a year, was just broken by Gan Ning.
