Han Shimou

()Although Pan Gong lost to Jingzhou, it was all because of bad luck. Even so, he also killed Cao Wei, Xiahou Dun, Li Dian and other generals, and nearly [-] Wei soldiers were lost!In fact, it is an honor to be defeated!

Unexpectedly, in the next battle of Longhushan, Pan Gong and Guan Yunchang fought more than ten battles, a shocking battle, it can be said that there is no one before or after.Mr. Pan's old troubles were still unhealed, and he fought repeatedly, but was finally defeated by Guan Yun's sword.When Liang led his troops to arrive, he had received bad news from Mr. Pan, and he was powerless to recover.All the armies felt Pan Gong's loyalty and righteousness, and they became mourners and defeated the Tang army.Yi De bravely crowned the three armies, risked his life to avenge his brother, and frightened Tang thieves.This great victory is all thanks to Pan Gong's spirit in heaven.Although Liang was victorious, he feared that the king would be filled with grief when he heard the news of Pan Gong's death.Liang knows that he has sinned a lot, but now is the perfect time for us, the Shu Han, to break through the Western Tang Dynasty.Liang had no choice but to hope that the king would temporarily stabilize the situation in case of Cao Wei.Liang should act with all his strength, lead his troops to conquer Chang'an, and stabilize the situation. When the time is clear, he will definitely be guilty of the thorns, and he is willing to be punished by the king! "

Zhuge Liang monopolizes major crimes, and his words are true, standing out of his heart.After Liu Bei looked at it, he knew that Pan Feng was dead. He felt as if he had been shocked by electric shock all over his body. He cried out and fell to the ground crying.Seeing this, all the civil and military officials were shocked and turned pale, and went to visit one after another.After a while Liu Bei woke up, his whole body trembling with grief, his red owl eyes turned to look at Fazheng, Ma Liang, Chen Dao and the others, he raised his hand, then put it down again, again and again, but then he remembered that just now he had something to say beforehand, so he should not do it for personal reasons. Forget about the public, put state affairs first in everything.Like a blow to the head, Liu Bei hated it for a moment, but it disappeared in an instant, and then thought of what Zhuge Liang said in the letter, he swayed, looked up and cried. ..

"When Gu and Pan and Zhang were sworn brothers in Taoyuan, they swore to live and die together. Now that Wushuang is dead, what's the use of being alone to win the great cause of the world, what's the use of it!!?"

After Liu Bei finished drinking, his tears were red with blood, and suddenly he vomited blood with a wow.Seeing this, all civil and military officials were heartbroken.Fazheng quickly knelt down and said.

"My lord's condolences! Since ancient times, death and life have their own destiny. Mr. Pan has served the Lord all his life, and his loyalty is unparalleled. Although he is dead now, his ambition is still alive. The king should take care of his body, and Xu Tu will take revenge."

"What Fa Gong said is very true. Pan Gong is a hero in life, and he is a ghost in death. Pan Gong is in the spirit of heaven, and he will definitely bless our Shu Han. I hope that the king will not mourn, and he will go to his last will to wipe out all the thieves in the world and rule the country. , help the Han Dynasty, and have completed the Taoyuan oath in the past, so as to comfort Pan Gong's spirit in heaven!"

Ma Liang hurriedly persuaded him.However, Liu Bei's expression was sluggish, as if his five souls and six souls had long since dissipated, so he couldn't hear it.How could the ministers know that Liu Bei was in such a heart-wrenching pain?In Liu Bei's mind, he kept recalling the scenes of the three brothers in the past, thinking of the place of missing, grief and hatred arose again, he yelled, and cried to the ground again.The officials woke up.Liu Bei was in great grief, missing his dead brother, crying three or five times a day, three days without water, just crying bitterly, all the officials and concubines couldn't persuade him, the clothes were wet with tears, and the spots turned into blood. The sad listener sheds tears.Suddenly one day, all the ministers withdrew, and Liu Bei was alone in his internal affairs, crying until he fell asleep and left.

Now Liu Bei is not like an all-powerful hero. He has suffered countless hardships in his life, suffered all kinds of humiliation, and almost died of an untimely death.But he can often survive disasters with superhuman will.The current him is just an old man who lost his flesh and blood brother, and the endless sadness and unwillingness almost swallowed him up.

Pan Feng's death dealt a great blow to Liu Bei, or he would be devastated.

Suddenly, a weird cool wind blows, and the lights come back on.All of a sudden, Liu Bei seemed to hear someone calling his brother, the voice was so familiar, Liu Bei burst into tears unknowingly, opened his eyes suddenly, and the person standing under the couch was actually another Pan Feng.

"Second brother, second brother!! Elder brother is here!! This time we meet, you and I must never be separated!!"

In an instant, Liu Bei, as if returning to the light, suddenly turned over and lay down on the bed, and rushed towards Pan Feng, wanting to reach out to grab Pan Feng's arm.Suddenly, another gust of cool wind hit.Pan Feng disappeared suddenly, and reappeared a few feet away in a moment, his voice was ethereal and empty, and rang in Liu Bei's ears.

"Humans and ghosts are very different, and the sky is separated. My younger brother has long since passed away and returned to dust. Why should elder brother be obsessed with this?"

"Second brother, why did you say that? Could it be that I forgot my previous oath!?"

Liu Bei's eyes were red, his face was full of sadness, and he shouted in a desperate voice.Pan Feng let out a long sigh.Suddenly, like a crawling cheetah, Liu Bei slammed into a red pillar and shouted.

"Second brother, don't be afraid of being lonely, elder brother will accompany you right now!!"

Liu Bei suddenly wanted to die, and crashed into the red pillar. Now there was no one around except Pan Feng's ghost.At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly rose, and the force of the gust of wind knocked Liu Bei down.But it was strange to say that the gust of wind seemed to be dragging Liu Bei's body, and Liu Bei fell down slowly without feeling the slightest pain.At this time, there was another voice in Liu Bei's ear.

"Elder brother still remembers the oath of the past. Today, the gang of thieves are still in the world, and the Han Dynasty has fallen into the hands of the thieves. My brother has not yet unified the country, eradicated the gang of thieves, and pacified the troubled times for the people of the world. How can I commit suicide!? Brother died for the country, fought It is an honor to die on the battlefield. The elder brother is the lord of Shu, the emperor of the Han Dynasty. He shoulders the heavy responsibility of helping the Han Dynasty and has the vow of brotherhood. Suffering from the scourge of war. The big business has not been accomplished for a day, and the elder brother still needs to work hard to start a business. How can he die for his younger brother and forget his duty because of selfishness? Wouldn't this chill the hearts of my officials in Shu, and the hearts of martyrs loyal to the Han Dynasty in the world! !?"

Pan Feng's words hit Liu Bei's heart violently, as if he was drinking in the head.Liu Bei came to his senses, and when he was about to speak again, there was a hurricane in his face, Pan Feng's figure disappeared, the indoor utensils were overturned, and the lights went out.

"Second brother!!!"

Liu Bei woke up suddenly, but found that what happened just now was nothing but Huang Ke's dream.But it's real, like being there.Pan Feng's clattering words before leaving still echoed in Liu Bei's ears.Liu Bei woke up with a start, half lying on the couch, looking sluggishly at the place where Pan Feng fought just now, and muttered in his mouth.

"Second brother is easy to leave, Gu Ding will do his best to punish the gang of thieves, rule the country, and avenge you!"

At Pingming time, Liu Bei suddenly called for a meal, and the meal was over.Liu Bei sent an order to all the generals and soldiers in Sichuan to pay filial piety.Not long after Pan Feng's coffin arrived in the city, Liu Bei set up a sacrifice of offerings and wine, carved agarwood as his body, and buried him outside the south gate with the ceremony of a prince. king.A group of civil and military men from the Shu Han Dynasty mourned for three consecutive days, crying and crying. Pan Feng's coffin was buried, and Liu Bei sent officials to guard the tomb.

Ten days later, Liu Bei summoned a group of civil and military officials to force his spirits. His thin face was full of majesty, his eyes were shining brightly, and he spoke to all the officials in a concentrated voice.

"Gu and the Western Tang Dynasty, the situation is different. The sun and the moon are different. Although King Jing is dead now, the great cause of the world has not yet been accomplished, and the great things of the country are still in the hands of thieves. Gu is the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and he has made an oath with the two brothers King Jing and Zhang , I dare not forget. You should do your best to start a business, stabilize the country, help the Han Dynasty, and practice the former alliance!!"

As soon as Liu Bei's words fell, all the ministers of His Royal Highness were overjoyed, they all knelt down and shouted in unison.

"The ministers are willing to do their best, do their best, and die!!"

"Okay! With all the heroes and heroes helping the orphan, how can I be afraid that the great cause will fail!?"

Liu Bei nodded heavily, his owl eyes were piercing, and that lean body actually burst out with a huge and startling aura.So far, Liu Bei has been working day and night, handling major military affairs, and internal affairs are all handled by Xu Jing, Kuai Yue and other officials.Liu Bei worked hard to become stronger, and all the ministers of Shu did their best, and the counties of Xichuan were able to stabilize quickly.Fazheng and Ma Liang saw it, but they were both happy and worried.The joy is that Liu Bei can put aside his personal grievances and put state affairs first, but the worry is that Liu Bei is a man in his sixties after all, and he is no longer in his prime.Liu Bei is so exhausted, exhausting his soul, watching Liu Bei lose weight.Fazheng and Ma Liang tried to persuade him again and again, but they still couldn't persuade him.After that, Fazheng and Ma Liang were summoned by Zhuge Liang.Without further ado, Liu Bei sent two people there, and also ordered Fazheng and Ma Liang to spread the word to Zhuge Liang. Tang, killed to Chang'an.

But Zhuge Liang heard the previous events one by one, and he burst into tears before he knew it, and sighed.

"How can Kong Ming be so virtuous that the King of Shu trusts him so much, so he should do his best!"

After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he edited a book, taught others to pass it back to Zitong, and handed it to Liu Bei.The first half of the book is about Zhuge Liang's determination to die for the country, while the second half is about persuading Liu Bei to maintain his dignity and not to work too hard.Finally, Zhuge Liang told Liu Bei that he watched the sky at night and found that Ma Chao was dead, so he taught Wu Tugu to send his confidants to the Nanman to stabilize the situation, and at the same time recruited soldiers and horses, just in case.Then he ordered Wang Ping to lead three thousand troops to Nanzheng and guard the rear.

After writing the letter, Zhuge Liang only felt that the burden on his shoulders was even heavier. He discussed with Fazheng and Ma Liang that night until dawn before resting.Until noon, Zhang Fei led [-] soldiers and horses, along with Fa Zheng, Ma Liang, Pan Ping and other civil and military troops, to march into Chencang.Zhang Fei was ordered to lead his troops to set off. No matter how big or small the generals in the army are, they all have the ambition to fight to the death.I saw the army of the Shu army, with banners all over the sky, swords and guns covering the sun, mighty and murderous, like a winding and moving dragon, looking forward to Chen Cang's advance.Zhuge Liang did not mobilize troops for the time being, while rectifying his troops and horses, preparing weapons and supplies.On the one hand, he was thinking about strategies, anticipating future wars and any unexpected situations, and making countermeasures one by one.

Let's say that Huang Zhong was defeated and retreated to Nanzheng, and Xu Shu advanced to remonstrate, saying that Zhuge Liang won Nanzheng now, and he would definitely take advantage of the situation to drive forward and kill Chencang.Huang Zhong also felt that it was reasonable, so he led his troops to look at Chencang.General Chen Cang had heard that Nanzheng had fallen, and was afraid that the Shu army would attack. Now he heard that the scouts reported that Huang Zhong and others were coming, and quickly ordered the soldiers at various gates to let them go.Huang Zhong and his party rushed to Chen Cang to rest and recuperate for several days.Xu Shu expected that the soldiers of Shu would come soon, so he dared not neglect, so he instructed the sergeants to dig deep ditches and high fortifications, and line up antlers all over to prepare for the army of Shu.

Seven or eight days later, a scout suddenly came to report.Zhang Fei, General of the Five Tigers of the Shu Army, led more than [-] soldiers and horses, and was heading for Chencang to kill.Xu Shu's expression changed upon hearing this, and he quickly discussed with Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao and other generals.
