Liu Qi, the eldest son of the Three Kingdoms

()Chapter 4

The banner of the Chinese Army stands majestically, and the banner with the word "Liu" flutters loudly beside it.In the middle of the avenue, several carriages drove side by side, and several people on one side rode Xiliang horses, marching unhurriedly. The soldiers on both sides were holding halberds, military flags, knives and shields, and bows and arrows.It seems to be scattered, but in fact there is a mystery behind it.

One of them was amazed: "In just a few days, Kong Ming's Qimen Bagua Formation has been trained to a considerable scale, and it is worthy of being the Crouching Dragon among Jingzhou scholars!" In the middle left of the carriage, a young man in his early twenties is sitting , wearing a lun scarf and a white gown, shook his feather fan lightly and said: "I'm overwhelmed by the General Dispute. He is talented and ignorant, and the time to study strange battle formations is still short. This formation can be defended and cannot be attacked for the time being."

The young man who was amazed was none other than General Liu Qi, the rebellious general. It was the ninth day of Liu Qi's march, and the vanguard general Wenpin had already entered Changsha County, only a few tens of miles away from Changsha City.Zhang Xian just sent people to investigate, but did not go out of the city to meet the enemy.After Wenpin set up camp, he sent people to report the military situation.

Pang Tongtong giggled and said, "Kong Ming will be self-effacing. He often compares himself with Guan Zhong and Le Yi, but he claims to be poor in talent and learning. Contradictory, hypocritical, hypocritical." Liu Qi watched this scene with a smile. In the past few days, he and Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang and other young people lived together with food and food, imitated Liu Bei, and talked about the past and the present. Although their talents and minds were not as good as theirs, the ideas of modern people also made them shine.Although they are not close friends, but the relationship has been added step by step.Cuizhou Pingping and others expressed their willingness to serve as officials to help Liu Qi.Although Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong did not express anything, they also hinted that after finishing their studies, if Liu Qi invited him, he would come to help

After receiving such a reply, Liu Qi was naturally so happy that he couldn't sleep.I was not so afraid of this battle anymore, I tossed and turned all the time during the days of the battle, and couldn't sleep at night.Historically, Liu Biao's crusade against Zhang Xian failed, and his father Liu Biao sent troops to attack the siege, which lasted for years.Later, Zhang Xian died of illness, and the people of Changsha appointed his son Zhang Ze as the master, so they captured Zhang Yi, expanded the land, collected Lingling and Guiyang in the south, and then occupied Hanchuan in the north. More than ten thousand.However, this is a good time to take charge of the army, besides, Liu Qi is currently favored by Liu Biao (a bit awkward), and his younger brother Liu Cong has not yet married Cai's niece, so Cai and Kuai are neutral, even if they lose, it doesn't matter.Besides, Liu Qi has already worshiped Kuai Yue as his teacher, and it will always be beneficial to have this relationship.With these counselors by his side, Liu Qi had some confidence in his mind.Plus Huang Zhong, Wang Wei, who are old and strong, and Xu Shu, who is academically successful.This battle must be won!Liu Qi cheered secretly.

Leaving aside the gossip, a few more days later, Liu Qi's march was less than twenty miles away from the Wenpin camp.Liu Qi then said to the messenger, and the order went on: "It's getting dark, all the generals set up their own camps. After dinner, the camp will be taught to the deputy general, and the chief general will come to the camp to discuss matters against the enemy."The camp of the three armies was arranged by Huang Zhong and Xu Shu. The formation was rational and well-organized, and it could be attacked by an army of [-] without breaking the camp.

In the evening, the camp of the Chinese army and the commander's camp.The soldiers on both sides stood upright, holding their halberds tightly in their hands.Lieutenant General Huang Xu rode a horse and led a team of troops to patrol.In Liu Qi's camp, the counselors and generals were separated on both sides, Liu Qi was sitting on the chief seat, and the military adviser and general Kuai Yue sat kneeling aside, his eyes were slightly closed, as if he was asleep.After several days of marching, he was quite tired, and Liu Qi's face was a little haggard, but his spirit was still vigorous.Seeing that everyone has arrived, Liu Qi cleared his throat and said: "A few days of marching, how is our army doing? Han Sheng?" Huang Zhong came out and clasped his fists and said: "General Qi, our army has been marching for many days, and we are now exhausted. , and the craftsmen and civilians have not yet arrived, you should rest for a whole day before making plans."

"Well, it's natural to take a rest, but how do you guys think our army should attack?" Liu Qi nodded and then asked.Xu Shu raised his voice and said: "Zhang Xian was originally the prefect of Changsha, and he was also a local big family. His roots are quite deep. Since the general wants to train troops, Xu Shu asked for a battle. Use my right army to attack the north gate." Xu Shu has been staying in the right army these days. While marching, they were training soldiers. After a few days, these recruits also looked a bit sharp, so they spoke with some confidence.

"I know Zhang Xian. He is old and cunning, and he usually gives a lot of favors. If he forcibly attacks the city, the casualties will be huge, and he may not necessarily win. Why don't we call for battle in a few days and see the truth?" , make another plan." General Kuai Yue half-opened his eyes and said slowly.

"What the military adviser said was exactly what I thought in my heart. Now I will rest for five days and prepare for the formation on the sixth day." After Liu Qi finished speaking, he checked that everyone had nothing to add, and let everyone disperse.

In the city of Changsha, the prefect's mansion. "Hmph, Liu Biao is hateful, is it useless to bully me for being old, and even sent a dude, a yellow-mouthed boy, hateful! Hateful!" Zhang Xian said angrily, throwing four or five cups angrily.

"My lord, since Liu Biao looks down on us, why don't you let the general lead someone to rob the camp, the general only needs [-] elite soldiers, and he will be able to break through in one attack, if you lose, please behead someone's head." Changsha fierce general Wang Gui sternly said.

"Oh, Liu Qi is nothing to worry about, but I heard that Kuai Yue and Kuai Yidu have also come. This man is extremely treacherous, and his strategy is better than that of his brother Kuai Liang. He is difficult to deal with. With this man, we have no chance. You can ride. Besides, Xianfeng Wenpin is my general of Jingzhou, how are you better than him?" Zhang Xian coughed twice and sighed.

"Then what should we do? We can't fight this, and we can't attack that. Should we just wait for them to attack?" Wang Gui was not reconciled.

Zhang Xian, the prefect of Changsha, walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, raised his head and said, "In Changsha City, there are still ten thousand elite soldiers, five thousand new recruits, and tens of thousands of civilians. Food, grass and weapons can be used by the soldiers and civilians of Changsha for two years. How can I?" There is fear. Within half a year, Liu Qi’s army will definitely be short of food. At that time, our army will go out of the city to pursue and kill Liu Qi, and Liu Qi will definitely be defeated. Besides, Cao Cao in the north has been eyeing Jingzhou. If Cao Cao comes to attack, we will dedicate the city and increase the official title The marquis is no problem." The more Zhang Xian spoke, the more excited he became, as if he was just in front of him, his face flushed and he coughed loudly.

"Be careful, my lord!" Wang Gui stepped forward to help him.

"Hey, your health is getting worse and worse. I'm afraid time is running out. You are my confidant. You must not let this matter out!" Zhang Xian suddenly sternly said, and then his tone softened, "Cho'er, you have grown up now." , smart and benevolent, after I go, you must help him with all your heart."

"The general understands." Wang Gui said quickly.

Six days later, Liu Qi and the general Kuai Yue of the military division fought against the rebellious Zhonglang general Huang Zhong, the thief Zhonglang general Xu Shu, the school lieutenant Wenpin, Li Yan, Wei Yan, and Liu Pan.He personally led the forward army of 7000, the central army of [-], the right army of [-] cavalry, and the flying dragon guards of [-], a total of [-] troops, came to attack the city.The rest of the troops were led by Wang Wei, Huo Jun, and Huang Xu, who strictly guarded the camp.

"Changsha is really a big city! Zhongye goes to call the battle and see how the Changsha soldiers are doing." Liu Qi turned to Wenpin and said.

"No!" Wen Pin slapped his horse and left, holding a long knife, and went to Zhang Xian's army.

"I am Wenpin, the vanguard general of Jingzhou. You rebelled, and we are ordered to seek rebellion. Now that the Jingzhou army has arrived, you have to surrender quickly. How dare you fight against the imperial army!" Wenpin shouted, full of energy.

Such words made Changsha general Wang Gui furious: "Zhuzi dares to deceive me that there is no one in Changsha, who dares to fight?" As soon as the words fell to the ground, a general flew out from behind, holding a long gun, patted his horse and came to the front of the battle and shouted: " I am Changsha Zhang Long, I am here to kill you!"

Wang Gui said with a smile: "Zhang Longyong is the champion of the three armies. He has the courage that is not worthy of everyone. He has long heard that Wenpin is the number one brave general in Jingzhou. He is quite dissatisfied. He has long wanted to capture Wenpin and win this name."

"Okay! Okay! Let's see how he kills the general and makes meritorious deeds." Zhang Xian said while holding the arm.
