I, Liu Bian, the hero

Chapter 40 The Battle of Hanyang ([-])

"His Highness's handwriting is getting better and better, and it is almost the same as that of Emperor Meng."

In the east side hall of Jiafang Hall, Shi Yiguan, a doctor of Hongdu School, smiled and praised.

Liu Bian said with a smile, "Thank you, teacher. My character has been carefully taught by the teacher. Compared with before, I have made great progress, but it is still far behind Senior Brother Menghuang."

The senior brother Menghuang he was referring to was Shi Yiguan's disciples Liang Hu and Liang Menghuang.

This person was born out of blue and better than blue. He was loved by Emperor Ling and served as the servant of Hongdu School. His calligraphy was even loved by Cao Cao in history.

"Haha." Shi Yiguan smiled and stroked his beard and said, "Although it's not as far, it's not far away."

Immediately, he went to another desk to read Cai Yan's writing.

For a long time, whenever Liu Bian was practicing calligraphy in the hall, Cai Yan would play the piano beside him, and he was idle anyway.

But gradually, seeing Liu Bian's handwriting getting better and better under the guidance of Shi Yiguan, Cai Yan couldn't help but feel a little anxious about it, but he was embarrassed to mention it.

Fortunately, Liu Bian saw Cai Yan's envy, so he recommended Cai Yan in front of Shi Yiguan, and Shi Yiguan was naturally happy to accept the future queen as his disciple.

Considering that Cai Yan was taught by her father Cai Yong in the first place, and now she is taught carefully by Shi Yiguan, she has made great progress in writing in a few days, which makes her very happy.

Sometimes Cai Yan couldn't help thinking that perhaps it would be good to marry this Marquis Shi. Although Liu Bian liked to tease her and always took advantage of her, Liu Bian was not good at literacy, reading, writing and even learning various skills. Always very supportive of her, unlike most people in the world who only regard women as tools for reproduction.

Relying on her status as the 'future empress', she was free to go in and out of the Jiaguan in the palace during this period, and freely read all kinds of precious books, which were difficult for her to come into contact with in the past.

"it is good!"

After Cai Yan finished writing the last stroke, Shi Yiguan also nodded in satisfaction.

Liu Bian's handwriting is magnificent, while Cai Yan's handwriting is beautiful. Regardless of his identity, Shi Yiguan is very satisfied with their learning attitude and calligraphy practice progress.

During the break, Liu Bian joked with Shi Yiguan: "Some time ago, the father sold the title. I heard that many people are attracted to Hongxue. Why don't you buy a title?"

Officer Shi Yi laughed and said, "All my salary is used to buy wine."

Liu Bian smiled and said nothing.

Regardless of the fact that most of the Ph.D.s in Hongdu School are from the harem eunuch camp, Shi Yiguan is no exception, but in fact there are many noble people among them, just like Shi Yiguan, he doesn't bother to buy officials. Just as he said, this alcoholic teacher used his salary to buy alcohol, and he had no money to buy officials.

Liu Bian smiled and told Zhao Chun, "Take a few carts of fine wine from the palace and give it to the teacher."

"Yes."

When Zhao Chun took the order, Shi Yiguan opened his eyes slightly, and said happily: "This is thanks to Marquis Shi."

Liu Bian shook his head and said with a smile: "Where is it? The teacher has taught me and Wen Ji painstakingly in the past few days. I have worked hard and made great achievements. What's the point of a few carts of wine?"

The two sides chatted for a few more words, and Shi Yiguan left immediately, leaving Liu Bian and Cai Yan to practice independently.

At this time, Liu Bian couldn't help but think of Hanyang, and picked up a pen and wrote down words such as Hanyang, Fu Xie, Wang Guo, Han Sui, Zhu Jun, and Liu Bei on the paper.

Cai Yan from the side noticed Liu Bian's distraction, approached and looked at Liu Bian's handwriting, guessed something in his heart, and comforted him in a low voice: "This time, the imperial court sent three adults, Huangfu Song, Zhang Wen, and Zhu Jun, to jointly conquer The Liangzhou rebels, together with generals like Liu Xuande, Sun Wentai, Cao Mengde, etc., will be able to defeat the rebels."

This is not necessarily the case.

Liu Bian smiled wryly, and took Cai Yan into his arms.

After all, there is no such battle in history. Even Liu Bian is not sure whether Liu Bei, Sun Jian, Cao Cao, Huangfusong, Zhang Wen, and Zhu Jun can defeat the Liangzhou rebels. He is also in the ranks of the rebels this time.

"nothing."

Seeing the worried expression on Liu Bian's face, Cai Yan's gentleness as a woman was activated, and he let him hug her and even reached out to caress her back.

But gradually, she felt something was wrong, because the hand behind her was slowly moving down.

"..."

She grabbed the mischievous hand with her backhand and looked at Liu Bian expressionlessly, but Liu Bian looked at her innocently.

At this moment, the girl couldn't help but feel a little tired: she looked like an adult before, why did she act like a child all of a sudden!
Different from the warmth of Jiafang Palace, at this time outside Zhiji County, Hanyang County, [-] Henan knights and more than [-] Northern Army cavalry were fighting with a total of [-] to [-] rebels.

The northern army's garrison cavalry is armored cavalry. This battalion is composed of Han Chinese. Although there are only 700 people, one man is equipped with two horses. Both armor and vest are available. It can be called the pinnacle of contemporary Han cavalry, although it is not as good as Liu. He is the heavy cavalry in his impression, but it is difficult for ordinary weapons to break through the armor of the cavalry knights.

In comparison, the equipment of the Henan cavalry is slightly inferior, between lightly armored knights and armored knights, but the Henan army, as one of the most important "three-river pawns" of the imperial court, is also the Gyeonggi army, and its equipment is also far behind. The place of victory is at least far better than the rebels in Liangzhou.

However, in today's battle of Hanyang, the imperial court had nearly [-] cavalry, and faced with [-] to [-] Liangzhou rebels, they were crushing. Apart from the gap in equipment between the two sides, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had to be mentioned. to the role.

Since the two armies began to fight, Guan Yu has killed several generals of Quhou and Junhou ranks in the rebel army. The general rebels have killed countless, but Zhang Fei worked even harder, leading about [-] Henan cavalry to kill the rebels. The army went to the hinterland, screaming loudly, and the rebels, who had killed several times the number of soldiers and horses of the imperial court, screamed and retreated.

"Yide, don't rush too far."

Guan Yu yelled at Zhang Fei from a distance, but seeing that Zhang Fei didn't respond, he frowned slightly worriedly.

Fortunately, the fighting spirit of the rebel army was about to collapse at this moment, so he didn't worry much about Zhang Fei, so he pulled his horse and came straight to Fu Xie, the prefect of Hanyang.

At this time, Fu Xie was looking at the court reinforcements who arrived in time with both surprise and joy. Seeing a red-faced and long-bearded general coming by himself, he subconsciously stepped forward to meet him, and asked, "Where is the prefect of Xia Hanyang?" Xie, I don't know how to address your lord?"

Guan Yu was stunned, a slight smile appeared on his haughty face, and he said kindly: "I am Guan Yu, the other division under Henan Yin's command, and I am ordered by the imperial court and my brother Henan Wei Liu Xuande to lead the vanguard Tunqi and Henan cavalry to catch up with us first." Come to support Hanyang."

Historically, when the princes from all walks of life conquered Dong Zhuo, Guan Yu could only serve as a horse archer under Liu Bei's command because of his brother Liu Bei's low official position, so that Cao Cao felt inferior. .

Not to mention that Guan Yu was very satisfied in his heart, at least Fu Xie's first reaction when he saw him was "this other Sima is so brave", instead of feeling wronged by Guan Yu.

"So it's Guan Sima."

Fu Xie cupped his hands, and asked pleasantly: "The imperial court really decided to conquer the rebels?"

Seeing Fu Xie standing on the flat ground while he was sitting on the horse, Guan Yu also felt that something was wrong, but if he got off the horse and answered, the rebels had not been completely repelled at this time, so he clasped his fists and said to Fu Xie: "Prefect Fu, how about Wait for the rebels to be defeated first, and then allow Guan to tell him slowly?"

"Good! Good!"

Fu Xie said hello repeatedly.

Seeing this, Guan Yu bid farewell to Fu Xie, and once again joined forces with Zhang Fei and Zhao Fang to attack the rebels.

Horrified by the sudden appearance of such an elite cavalry force, Wang Guoguo, the leader of the rebel army, hastily ordered to retreat, not daring to contend with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Fang. One easily won a victory.

Seeing this, Guan Yu ordered to withdraw his troops and ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield.

Even though Zhao Fang, the lieutenant of the Tunqi school, had a higher official position than him, but for some reason, Zhao Fang had to listen to Guan Yu's opinion. Who made Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei have the label "Shihou" on their heads?

Of course, complaints still have to be complained, no, while the soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, Zhao Fang ran to Guan Yu and complained: "Guan Sima, please inform me in advance next time, my cavalry is different from Henan cavalry, and it takes time to change clothes before the battle." ..."

Although Guan Yu has a proud personality, he will not offend people for no reason, not to mention that Zhao Fang, as the captain of Tunqi, has been tolerant to his brothers along the way, so he explained with a smile: "Captain Zhao forgives sins only because Taishou Fu deeply Falling into the enemy's territory, a certain person hastily ordered troops to march in."

While speaking, Fu Xie also came to thank Guan Yu and Zhao Fang for saving their lives.

Knowing that Fu Xiegui, the prefect of Hanyang, led a mere hundred soldiers to carry out a suicide attack on the kingdom, Zhao Fang was shocked but also deeply admired.

He and Fu Xie had already explained it when they conquered the Yellow Turban a few years ago. When he learned of Fu Xie's behavior, he exclaimed: "Brother, why do you despise your life so much? If you die in battle, wouldn't Hanyang immediately fall into the hands of the rebels?" ?”

Fu Xie smiled wryly and said, "I didn't know that the imperial court was determined to punish the thieves, so I wanted to persuade the imperial court with death, but unexpectedly..."

Seeing his embarrassment and shame, Zhao Fang and Guan Yu looked at each other, and they didn't argue with each other tactfully.

After all, they both knew that the imperial court did not decide to send troops to conquer at the beginning, and even planned to recruit Wang Guo, Han Sui, and Ma Teng. Thanks to a certain Shi Hou, His Majesty changed his mind.

Not long after, Zhang Fei also returned with his troops. When he saw Guan Yu, he was dissatisfied and complained: "Second brother, the leader of this rebel army is that kingdom. Why didn't you tell me earlier? I swore in front of Shi Hou that I would The heads of Zhan Guoguo, Han Sui, and Ma Teng were dedicated to him. When I learned about this, the kingdom would have fled long ago.”

"..."

Fu Xie looked at Zhang Fei in astonishment, shocked by the latter's speech.

Guan Yu didn't think about it, but he stroked his beard and said lightly: "There is no rush, I have the right to put the head on his neck for the time being, and wait for the next battle, and it will not be too late to take it."

Well, this one is even crazier.

However, when he thought of the appearance of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in the rebel army just now, Fu Xie not only did not think that these two people despised the rebel army, but despised himself in disguise. On the contrary, he was very happy and praised: " With the help of the three of you, why worry that the rebel army cannot be destroyed?"

After all, he invited Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Fang to lead their troops into the city and station them.

When he came to the gate of the city, Yang Hui, the head secretary, shouted ecstatically from the top of the city: "Congratulations to the prefect on his triumphant return. I have ordered people to prepare wine and food to reward the brave men who came to help!"

Fu Xie nodded heavily, looked around, looked at the soldiers who followed him out of the city to fight to the death, and then looked at Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Fang.

He knew that if these three men hadn't led the army to help in time today, he and the remaining soldiers under his command would have died without a doubt.

"Order the whole city to reward the sergeants!"

"Whoa whoa--"

Amidst countless cheers, Fu Xie led Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Fang into the city together.
