Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 680 Immortal
Three days later, the messenger returned from Fengyang, and Zhang Liao agreed to make peace.Zhang Liao couldn't stand it anymore. Sooner or later, there would be problems in being closed in a corner. There was an urgent need for a truce to solve the Huainan problem. If a dog jumps over a wall in a hurry, or a rabbit bites someone in a hurry, there is no guarantee that Xu Huang will do something appalling.Even if Xu Huang doesn't bother to lower his social status and do these dirty things, regaining Shouchun and accepting thousands of people is enough to satisfy Zhang Liao. What's more, he plans to collect compound fertilizer after the epidemic is stabilized and regain the entire county of Huainan. He doesn't want to be robbed by Sun Quan. .

In addition to Zhou Cang's conditions, Zhang Liao had only one request. The Shouchun defenders put down their weapons and did not allow them to be damaged.

"Pengfei, go to Shouchun to pick up Gongming, and tell him that this is a military order that must not be violated." Zhou Cang was very worried that Xu Huang refused to go back to Xuzhou with the idea of ​​shattering jade rather than ruining it. "Also, bring back the ashes of Hao Zhao and Niu Gai. Don't stop on the way, go and return quickly."

"Sun Quan is still waiting for a reply, how should I reply?"

"Don't worry about him." Speaking of Sun Quan, Zhou Cang was furious. "Sun Quan wants Bo Yan to return to Jiangdong, only we know, and we must not spread it!"

To show his sincerity, on the day Deng Ai set off, Zhou Cang ordered the troops to go down to Pi.Arriving at Xiapi, Zhou Cang immediately issued several orders:

Order [-], Lu Xun, the governor of the Eastern Army and the general who conquered the East, was changed to the governor of the Northern Army and the general who conquered the North, and immediately went to Liaodong.Lu Xun and Zang Ba, the guardian of Beiting, planned to conquer the Western Xianbei before the Xiongnu Shanyu Liu Bao, destroying his army and occupying his land.The prefect of Guangling, Lu Xun's younger brother Lu Pan was re-elected as the prefect of southern Liaonan, the governor of grain supply and logistics guarantee.

Order [-]. After Lu Xun took office, Pei Yuanshao completed the handover and went south to Jizhou to serve as the governor of the Chinese army, general Zhengyuan, and governor of Jizhou and Youzhou military affairs.Chen Dao served as General Pingbei, and was stationed in Youzhou to monitor Liu Bao and Xianbei's various ministries.

Order three, Xu Shu went to Qingzhou, served as the governor of the Eastern Army and General Zhengdong, and sat in Licheng to confront Cao Zhen.

Order [-], Zhang Jai was re-appointed as the governor of the Western Army and General Zhengxi, and took the post of Changzhi.Qu'a was appointed General Pingxi, and Lu Qiling was appointed General Pingxi Zhonglang, succeeding veteran Wenji to sit in Yanmen and monitor the Xiongnu and Western Xianbei.The release of the Xiongnu tribe was delayed, and Wen Ji arrested all the Xiongnu who refused to obey the discipline, and sent them to small coal mines to dig coal.

The Central Plains cannot use troops for the time being, and the time to conquer Sun Quan is not yet ripe. Zhou Cang decided to solve the northern Xinjiang issue first, just in time to transfer Lu Xun away.

On June 23, Xu Huang returned to Xiapi, and Zhou Cang went out of the city to meet him in person.Xu Huang wept and bowed to the ground: "How dare a defeated general bother the Lord to meet him in person." Out of 4 troops, only three came back, which was a great shame to Xu Huang.Abandoning his subordinates and fleeing alone, if Deng Ai hadn't carried Zhou Cang out, and Xu Gai and Xu Sheng's persuasion, Xu Huang would have wiped his neck at that time.

"This is a natural disaster, what's wrong with Gong Ming?" Zhou Cang pulled Xu Huang up and said with a smile, "Punishment for half a year is inevitable."

Kneeling and worshiping again, of course you will be punished.That night, Zhou Cang held a banquet to welcome Xu Huang, which was also to boost the morale of the generals.

The next day, Zhou Cang issued an order again, Xu Huang, Xu Gai, and Liao Hua, the governor of the Southern Army and the general who conquered the South, stayed in Xiapi to train the army, and Huang Gai served as the assistant of General Pingnan.Huang Xu led [-] people from Guangling to Taizhou, and increased his troops to [-] in Jin.Yu Jin was asked to train troops while conscripting local aborigines and conquer Taizhou within two years.Xu Sheng went to Liyang to take over the Yellow River Navy, and Gan Ning returned to Guangling to train the Yangtze River Navy.Wu Gang served as General Pingdong, and returned to Jinan to take charge of military affairs temporarily until Xu Shu arrived.

After arranging all this, Zhou Cang, under the protection of Deng Ai and Dianman, took the ashes of Zhou Wen, Hao Zhao, and Niu Gai back to Xuzhou. On the way, he received bad news that veteran Wu Anguo died of old age and overwork.

Veteran general Wu Anguo has made no outstanding achievements since he defected to Zhou Cang, but he has worked hard and made no mistakes, laying a solid foundation for the Han army and Zhou Cang's foundation.If he hadn't built the three cities of Jinzhou, Liaodong would not have had a good situation of stability and development; if he hadn't managed well in the rear, Xu Shu would not have successfully captured Youzhou and Jizhou; if he hadn't recruited and trained troops in Xuzhou, where would Xu Huang come from? Ability to attack Shouchun.

Hearing this news, Zhou Cang cried again. The old general was nearly [-] years old, and he was supposed to retire from Jinzhou, but he worked so hard for the Huainan battle and finally died of illness. How can he not feel sad.

"Teacher, are you passionate?" Deng Ai asked.Wu Anguo died. According to the new ritual, Wu Gang Yao came back to attend the funeral and observe mourning for ten days.

"I am ashamed of the old general, how can I make Wu Gang lose his filial piety again." Zhou Cang shook his head. "Immediately send someone to inform Wu Gang to return to Tancheng, and Zhuge Dan is temporarily in charge of Qingzhou military affairs. Xu Shu doesn't have to wait for Pei Yuanshao to rush to Qingzhou immediately, Xingba temporarily stays in Liyang, and then goes to Guangling after Pei Yuanshao arrives."

A Huainan battle that involved the three giants ended without a problem, and Zhou Cang suffered the heaviest loss: 5 horses, four generals, and countless money and food.Sun Quan was next, losing [-] men and horses, and the governor Lu Meng died of illness.Cao Cao benefited the most. The loss of troops was only a few thousand, but he stole tens of thousands of people from Zhoucang, regained Shouchun and a large number of supplies, and only died of the three sons of Jian'an.

For the first time since the completion of the Hall of Martyrs, four people were housed at once, although Zhou Fu, an old family member, had received the information a long time ago and was very busy.

Hua Xiong, Chen Deng, Dian Wei, Hua Tuo, Zhao Yu, Liu Zheng, Guan Hai, Zhang Jiong, Wei Xu... nearly twenty statues have been erected.Looking at the statues, Zhou Cang couldn't help crying again.With a pair of faces, and the past as if it was yesterday, one by one they just left.What did you do?Why do these people leave me.

"Teacher's condolences." Deng Ai urged hurriedly.We can't let Zhou Cang come to the Hall of Martyrs all the time. There will be more and more people in the Hall of Martyrs in the future. Every time Zhou Cang is so sad, it hurts his body.

"Hey, these are all virtuous and talented people who followed me to fight in the north and south, and comfort the people and help the world. The heavens are jealous of the talents, and the creation tricks people!"

Cui Jun, the governor, persuaded: "It is our good fortune to meet such an enlightened master as the Lord. The Lord built the Martyr's Shrine not only to remember the ancestors, but also to educate the future generations. Don't forget the great cause because of sadness."

Turn grief into strength?
"Patriarch, the pen and ink are ready." Zhou Fu changed the subject in a timely manner.

Zhou Cang picked up a pen, thought for a while, and wrote six big characters: Heroes are immortal!As soon as the pen was written, Zhou Cang only felt top-heavy, and his body tilted and passed out on the ground.

"Teacher, wake up!" Deng Ai wiped his chest, patted his back, and kept calling out to everyone. Cui Jun hurriedly called for the doctor, and there was a mess in the Hall of Martyrs.

Zhou Cang heard someone calling in a haze: "Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi!"

Where am I?Why can't I open my eyes?
