Chapter 74 The 73rd round of Xuande's advance to Hanzhong Wang Yunchang's attack on Xiangyang County

But when Cao Cao retreated to Xiegu, Kongming expected that he would abandon Hanzhong and leave, so he sent Ma Chao and other generals to divide his troops into dozens of routes and attack and rob from time to time.Therefore, Cao couldn't live long; Wei Yan shot another arrow, and hurried to class.The spirit of the three armies was exhausted.Only the front team can do it. When the fire broke out twice, it was Ma Chao who ambush and chased after him.Everyone in Cao Bing was frightened.Cao ordered the sergeants to rush, and they ran non-stop at dawn and night. They didn't feel at ease until Jingzhao.

Let's say that Xuande ordered Liu Feng, Meng Da, and Wang Pingping to attack the counties of Shangyong.Shen Dan and others surrendered when they heard that Cao had abandoned Hanzhong and left.Xuande Anmin has been decided, and the three armies will be rewarded, and the hearts of the people will be happy.So all the generals had the heart to respect Xuande as the emperor; they didn't dare to say it directly, but came to report to Zhuge's army division.Kongming said: "I have made up my mind."Followed by Yin Fazheng and others to see Xuande, he said: "Cao Cao is in power today, and the people have no master; the Lord's benevolence and righteousness are written all over the world, and now he has the land of two rivers. He can obey the heaven and the people, and the emperor's throne, and he is justified in order to punish the country's thieves."Without further ado, please choose auspiciousness.Xuande was shocked and said: "The words of the military adviser are wrong: although Liu Bei is the clan of the Han Dynasty, he is a courtier; if this is the case, he is against the Han Dynasty."Kong Ming said: No way: the world is divided today, heroes rise together, each dominates one side, the talented and virtuous people of the world, those who give up death and live to work on the top, all want to climb the dragon and attach to the phoenix, and establish fame.Today, the lord avoids suspicion and keeps righteousness, for fear of losing everyone's hope.May the lord think about it.Xuande said: "If you want me to assume the position of honor, I will not dare."The long-term policy can be discussed again.All the generals said in unison, "If the lord only pushes back, everyone's hearts will be relieved."Kong Ming said: "The Lord's justice is based on righteousness, and he is called honorable if he is not willing."Now there are the lands of Jingxiang and Liangchuan, and it can be temporarily the king of Hanzhong.Xuande said: "Although you want to respect me as king, you can't get the emperor's edict, which is arrogance."Kong Ming said: "Now it is appropriate to obey power and not to stick to common sense."Zhang Fei yelled: "People with different surnames all want to be kings, not to mention my elder brother belongs to the Han Dynasty sect!"Don't talk about the king of Hanzhong, just call him the emperor, why not!Xuande scolded, "Don't talk too much!"Kongming said: "My lord, it is advisable to make a change. It is not too late to be the king of Hanzhong first, and then to play the role of the emperor."

Xuande couldn't postpone it again and again, so he had to agree.In the autumn and July of the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an, an altar was built in Mianyang, with a radius of nine li, distributed in five directions, and each set up a banner and guard of honor.The ministers are all arranged in order.Xu Jing and Fazheng invited Xuande to go up to the altar, put in the crown and seal, sat facing south, and was congratulated by civil and military officials as King of Hanzhong.His son Liu Chan was established as the prince's son.Xu Jing was granted the title of Grand Tutor, and Fazheng was granted the title of Shang Shuling.Zhuge Liang is the military adviser, and the prime minister is responsible for military affairs.Feng Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, and Huang Zhong were the five tiger generals; Wei Yan was the prefect of Hanzhong.The rest of the meritorious deeds were designated as lords.

Xuande was the king of Hanzhong, so he repaired a table and sent people to Xudu.The table said: Prepare the talents of the ministers, the appointment of the general of the Netherlands, the governor of the three armies, and resign from the outside; can not sweep away the troubles, the Jingkuang royal family will delay the mausoleum of your majesty for a long time. On the side, the sickness is like a sick head. In the past, Dong Zhuo pretended to be a chaotic order.Since then, gangs of murderers have ravaged the sea.His majesty Lai's holy virtue came, and the people and ministers responded together, or they fought loyally, or the heavens punished them, rebelled and died, and gradually disappeared.Only Cao Cao has not been eradicated for a long time, aggressing and arrogating state power, and being extremely chaotic.Chen Xi conspired with Dong Cheng, the chariot and cavalry general, to discuss the matter, but the secret was not secret, and he was framed.The minister lost his authority, and his loyalty failed, so he had to make Cao Cao extremely rebellious; the master and queen were slaughtered, and the prince was poisoned.Although entangled in a contract and alliance, the idea is to work hard; cowardly and unarmed, it has not been effective over the years.I am often afraid of perishing and living up to the grace of the country; I sleep forever and sigh, and I am vigilant at night.

Today's ministers and bureaucrats think: In the old "Yu Shu", there are nine clans in Dunxu, who are bright and powerful; the emperor passed on this way, and this way will not be abandoned.The second generation of Zhoujian, and the establishment of Zhuji, really rely on the strength of Jin and Zheng Jiafu.The great ancestor Long Xing respected the princes and younger brothers, greatly enlightened the nine kingdoms, and beheaded all Lu to secure Dazong.Today, the evil is straight, the ugly is upright, the reality is numerous and there are disciples, the evil intentions are concealed, and the usurping and robbery have been revealed; the clan is weak, and the imperial family has no throne. Considering the ancient style, it is expedient: the superior is the Da Sima King of Hanzhong.

The ministers from the three provinces: received the country's great kindness, either side of the Netherlands, Chen Li did not take effect, and the gains have passed, it is not suitable to return to high positions and slander with serious crimes.The group of bureaucrats see pressure and force ministers to be righteous.The minister retreats, but the bandits and thieves do not dominate, the country is in crisis; the ancestral temple is in danger, and the country is about to fall: the sincere minister is worried about the day when his heart will be broken.If the power is flexible and the pilgrimage is peaceful, even if you go to the water and fire, you must not resign: you will follow the opinions of the public, worship and accept the seal, and honor the country's prestige.

Looking up to the honorary title, the position is high and favored; bowing down to serve, worrying and responsibilities are heavy: frightened and vigilant, starting from the valley, dare not try our best to show sincerity, reward the six divisions, lead the group's righteousness, respond to the weather, and take peace Sheji: I would like to pay homage to the table to hear about it. When he arrived in Xudu, Cao Cao heard in Ye County that Xuande had established himself as the king of Hanzhong, and he said angrily: "Child weaving mat, how dare you do this!"I swear to destroy it!At that time, an order was sent to go to Liangchuan to fight against the king of Hanzhong with all the soldiers of the country.One person came out to remonstrate, saying: "Your Majesty, don't drive an expedition in person because of a moment of anger."I have a plan. You don't need to draw a bow and arrow, and let Liu Bei suffer the disaster in Shu;Cao sees the person: it is Sima Yi.Cao Xi asked, "What is Zhongda's insight?"Yi said: Sun Quan in Jiangdong married Liu Bei with his younger sister, and then stole it back; Liu Bei also occupied Jingzhou and did not return it: there is a bitter hatred for each other.Now we can send a debater to write a letter to say that Sun Quan raised his troops to take Jingzhou, and Liu Bei will send soldiers from two rivers to save Jingzhou.At that time, the king raised his troops to take Hanchuan, so that Liu Bei could not rescue each other from head to tail, and it was bound to be in danger.

Cao Cao was overjoyed, he repaired the book and made Man Chong as his envoy, he threw himself into the east of the river at night to see Sun Quan.When Quan knew that he was full of favors, he discussed with his counselors.Zhang Zhaojin said: Wei and Wu had no rivalry; because of listening to Zhuge's words, the two families fought continuously for years, and their lives were devastated.Now that Man Boning is here, he must have the intention of making peace, and he can be received with courtesy.According to his words, Quan Zhong ordered the counselor to take Man Chong into the city to meet each other.At the end of the ceremony, the right to be treated as a guest.Chong submitted the book, saying: Wu and Wei have never had any rivalry, and it was all because of Liu Bei that there was a quarrel.The king of Wei sent someone here to ask the general to attack Jingzhou. The king of Wei came to Hanchuan with his troops and attacked from head to tail.After breaking Liu, they divided the territory together and vowed not to invade each other.After Sun Quan finished reading the book, he held a feast for Man Chong and sent him back to the library to rest.

The right to discuss with the counselors.Gu Yong said: "Although it is a rhetoric, there is reason in it."Now I can send Manchu back home, date Cao Cao, and fight head to tail; at the same time, I can make people cross the river to explore the movement of Yunchang, so that I can do things.Zhuge Jin said: A certain man heard that Yun Changzi came to Jingzhou, and Liu Bei married his wife. The husband had a son and the second daughter.His daughter is still young, and she is not allowed to write.A certain person is willing to propose marriage to the lord's son.If Yunchang agreed, he and Yunchang planned to defeat Cao Cao together; if Yunchang refused, he then helped Cao take Jingzhou.Sun Quan used his strategy to send Manchong back to Xudu first, but then sent Zhuge Jin as an envoy to Jingzhou.Enter the city to see Yunchang, and the ceremony is over.Yun Chang said, "What is Ziyu's intention here?"Jin said: "I'm here to ask for the friendship between the two families: my lord Wuhou has a son who is very clever."Hearing that the general has a daughter, she came here to ask for her.The two families got married and defeated Cao.This is a beautiful thing: please think about it.Yun Chang was furious and said: "My tiger girl is willing to marry a dog!"Without looking at your brother's face, I will behead you immediately!Say no more!So he called left and right to drive out.Jin ran away with his head in his arms, and went back to Wu Hou; he didn't dare to hide, so he told the truth.Quan said angrily: "How rude!"They called Zhang Zhao and other civil and military officials to discuss the strategy of taking Jingzhou.Bu Zhi said: "Cao Cao wanted to usurp Han for a long time, and he was afraid of Liu Bei; now he has sent an envoy to order Wu Xing to swallow Shu, and blame Wu Ye for this."Quan said: "Gu also wanted to take Jingzhou for a long time."The stallion said: "Now Cao Ren sees that he is stationed in Xiangyang and Fancheng, and there is no danger of the Yangtze River. Jingzhou can be taken by dry road; why not take it, but let the lord mobilize troops?"This is the only way to see his heart.My lord can send envoys to Xudu to see Cao Cao, ordering Cao Ren to take Jingzhou first on Hanlu, and Yun Chang will surely take Jingzhou's soldiers to take Fancheng.If Yunchang makes a move, the Lord can send a general to secretly capture Jingzhou, which can be achieved in one fell swoop.The right to follow its discussion, and at that time sent envoys across the river, wrote to Cao Cao, and stated the matter.Cao Cao was overjoyed, sent the envoys back first, and sent Man Chong to Fancheng to help Cao Ren, as a staff officer, to discuss mobilizing troops; while galloping to Soochow, he ordered the leading troops to meet by water to take Jingzhou.

But it is said that the king of Hanzhong ordered Wei Yan to oversee the army and horses to guard Dongchuan.Then he led all the officials back to Chengdu.Officials were sent to build palaces and build buildings. From Chengdu to Baishui, more than 400 pavilions and pavilions were built.Accumulate food and grass extensively and build more weapons in order to enter the Central Plains.The inquisitive people found out that Cao Cao was connected with Soochow and wanted to take Jingzhou, so he flew to Shu.The king of Hanzhong hurriedly asked Kong Ming to discuss.Kong Ming said: "Someone had expected that Cao Cao would have such a plan; however, there are so many advisers in Wuzhong, so Cao Ren must be taught to raise troops first."The king of Hanzhong said: "What can I do like this?"Kongming said: "If you send a mission, you will send Guan Gao and Yun Chang to order the first troops to take Fancheng, so that the enemy's army will be terrified, and they will naturally collapse."Daxi, the king of Hanzhong, sent Sima Feishi, the former minister, as an envoy, to come to Jingzhou with the imperial edict.Cloud grows out of Guo and welcomes him into the city.At the end of the ceremony, Yun Chang asked, "Where is the king of Hanzhong granting me?"The poem says: The head of the five tiger generals.Yun Chang said: "The five tiger generals?"The poem said: Guan, Zhang, Zhao, Ma, and Huang are also.Yun Chang said angrily: "My brother Yide is also; Meng Qi is a famous family from generation to generation; Zilong has been with my brother for a long time, and my brother is also: it is okay to be in the same position as me."What kind of person is Huang Zhong, dare to rank with me!A real man will never keep company with old soldiers!So he refused to accept the seal.The poem said with a smile: "The general is missing: Xiao He and Cao participated in the great event of the ancestors in the past, and they were the closest, but Han Xin was the dead general of Chu. However, Xin is the king, ranking above Xiao and Cao. I have never heard of Xiao and Cao doing this." For resentment.Although the king of Hanzhong today has the title of five tiger generals, he and the general have the same brotherhood and are regarded as the same body.The general is the king of Hanzhong, and the king of Hanzhong is the general.How can I wait with everyone?The general has received the kindness of the king of Hanzhong, and he should share weal and woe with his colleagues, and it is not appropriate to care about the rank of the official: I hope the general will think about it.When Yun Da realized, he bowed again and said: "Someone's ignorance is not because he saw it with one step, and he missed something important."Worship and accept the seal ribbon.

Fei Shifang issued a royal decree to order Yunchang to lead the army to take Fancheng.Yun Chang took the order, and at that time he sent Fu Shiren and Mi Fang as vanguards to lead an army to camp outside Jingzhou City; at the same time, he hosted a banquet in the city to entertain Fei Shi.After drinking until the second watch, it was reported that there was a fire in the village outside the city.Yun Chang put on his horse in a hurry, and when he went out of the city to see, it was Fu Shiren and Mi Fang who were drinking, leaving a fire behind the tent, burning the fire box, shaking the whole camp, and burning all the weapons, food and grass.Yun Chang led his troops to save the fire, and it was not until the fourth watch that the fire was extinguished.When Yun Chang entered the city, he summoned Fu Shiren and Mi Fang and said to him: "I ordered you two to be pioneers. Before leaving the army, I first burned many weapons, food and grass, and killed the soldiers of our department with fire. What's the use of you two for such a mistake!"He ordered to cut it.Fei Shi said: "Beheading the general first before leaving the army will be disadvantageous to the army."Can be pardoned for the time being.Yun Chang was furious, and scolded them, saying: "If I don't look at Fei Sima's face, I will kill the heads of you two!"The warriors were called to decide forty each, took off the pioneer seal and ribbon, punished Mi Fang to guard Nanjun, and Fu Shiren guarded the public security;The two of them were ashamed and walked away.Yun Chang ordered Liao Hua to be the vanguard, Guan Ping to be the deputy general, and Ma Liang and Yi Ji to be the staff officers of the Central Army to march together.First, there was Hu Ban, the son of Hu Hua, who came to Jingzhou to surrender to Guan Gong. He remembered his old love for saving each other and loved him very much.Fei Shi bid farewell to Guan Gong, took Hu Ban with him, and went back to Sichuan. Let's say that Guan Gong sacrificed the banner of Shuai on that day and slept in the tent.Suddenly I saw a pig, as big as a cow, covered in black, rushing into the tent, biting Yun Chang's foot.Yun Da was furious, and hurriedly drew his sword and slashed at him with a sound like tearing silk.Suddenly realized: it was a dream.Then I felt pain in the Yin and Yin of my left foot; I was very suspicious.Call Guan Pingzhi and tell him with a dream.Ping said to each other: pigs also have dragons and elephants.The dragon attached to the foot is the meaning of ascension, so there is no need to be suspicious.Yun Chang gathered many officials under the tent and told them about the dream.There are different opinions about those who say auspicious or ominous.Yun Chang said: "My eldest husband is nearly sixty years old, so what a pity to die!"In a word, the envoy from Shu arrived, and passed on the decree of the king of Hanzhong.After Yun Chang received his order, all the officials paid homage and said, "This shows the auspiciousness of pigs and dragons."So Yun Chang was calm and unsuspecting, so he raised his troops and rushed to Xiangyang Road. Cao Ren was in the city when he suddenly reported that Yun Chang had led his troops.Ren was shocked and tried to hold on.Zhai Yuan, the deputy general, said: "Now the King of Wei ordered the general to take Jingzhou from Eastern Wu. Now he comes here by himself. He is going to die. Why avoid it?"The staff officer Man Chong remonstrated: "I know that Yun is always brave and resourceful, so I should not underestimate the enemy."It is better to stick to it, which is the best policy.Xiao general Xiahou Cun said: "This is the scholar's words."Don't you hear that the water is coming to cover the soil, and the soldiers will welcome you?Our army waits for work with leisure, so we can win.Cao Ren obeyed his words, ordered Man Chong to guard Fancheng, and led his own troops to meet Yunchang.When Yun Chang knew that Cao Bing was coming, he called Guan Ping and Liao Hua to follow the plan.Two battles with Cao Bing.Liao Hua went out to fight, and Zhai Yuan went out to meet him.After the two generals did not fight for a long time, they defrauded and defeated, pulled their horses and left. Zhai Yuan chased him from behind, and the Jingzhou soldiers retreated for twenty miles.The next day, he came to fight again.Xia Houcun and Zhai Yuan went out to meet them together, and the Jingzhou soldiers were defeated again, and they chased and killed them for more than 20 li.Cao Ren hurriedly ordered the front army to return quickly, and Guan Ping and Liao Hua came to kill him behind him, causing Cao's soldiers to be in chaos.Cao Ren knew that it was a trick, so he first sent an army to fly to Xiangyang; a few miles away from the city, embroidered flags were raised in front, and Yun Chang reined in his horse and crossed his sword to block the way.Cao Ren was so frightened that he didn't dare to confront him, so he looked at Xiangyang and walked sideways.Yun Chang did not catch up.After a while, Xiahou Cun's army arrived. When he saw Yunchang, he was furious, so he confronted Yunchang, and he was hacked to death by Yunchang.Zhai Yuan left, was caught up by Guan Ping, and cut him with a knife.Taking advantage of the momentum to pursue and kill, most of Cao's soldiers died in the Xiangjiang River.Cao Ren retreated to Fancheng. Yun Chang won Xiangyang and rewarded the army to caress the people.Sima Wang Fu, who accompanied the army, said: "The general came down to Xiangyang with a drum. Although Cao's soldiers were discouraged, they said it foolishly: Today, Lumeng of Eastern Wu is stationed at Lukou, and he often intends to annex Jingzhou; if he leads his troops to take Jingzhou, what can we do?" ?Yun Chang said: I also think of this.You can raise this matter: go up and down the river, or twenty miles, or thirty miles, and choose Gaofu to dispose of a beacon tower.Each station is guarded by fifty troops.If Wu soldiers cross the river, they will light fire at night and smoke in the daytime.I will attack it myself.Wang Fu said: "Mi Fang and Fu Shiren are guarding the second pass, and they will not do their best; we must get another person to be the governor of Jingzhou."Yun Chang said: "I have sent Pan Jun to guard him. What are you worried about?"Fu said: "Pan Jun has always been jealous and fond of profit, so he should not be appointed."However, Zhao Lei, the former grain and material officer of the army, was sent to replace him: Zhao Lei is a loyal and honest man. If you use this person, you will be safe.Yun Chang said: "I have always known Pan Jun as a man, and now he has made a decision, so there is no need to change it."Zhao Lei is now in charge of grain and materials, which is also an important matter.Don't be suspicious, just build a beacon tower with me.Wang Fu said his goodbyes in dismay and left.Yun Chang ordered Guan Ping to prepare ships to cross the Xiangjiang River and attack Fancheng. But he said that Cao Ren defeated two generals and retreated to Fancheng. He said that Man Chong said: "If you don't listen to the public opinion, you will be defeated and perish. If you lose Xiangyang, what can you do?"Chong said: "Yun Chang, a tiger general, is resourceful and resourceful. You should not underestimate the enemy, but stick to it."In the right words, people reported that Yun came across the Yangtze River to attack Fancheng.Ren was shocked.Chong said: You should stick to it.Lu Chang, the general of the Ministry, said furiously: "A certain beggar has thousands of soldiers, and he is willing to be an army in the Xiangjiang River."Pet remonstrance said: no.Lu Chang said angrily: "According to what you and other civil officials said, you should stick to it. How can you retreat from the enemy?"Don't you hear the law of war: the army can be attacked halfway through.Now that Yun Chang's army is halfway across the Xiangjiang River, why not attack it?If the soldiers approach the city, they will reach the edge of the trench, and it will be difficult to resist them.Ren Zhi and two thousand soldiers ordered Lu Chang to go out of Fancheng to fight.When Lu Chang came to Jiangkou, he saw the embroidered flag in front of him, and Yun Chang came out with a horizontal sword.However, Lu Chang was about to come to meet him. Seeing the majesty of Yun Changshen, all the troops behind him left without fighting. Lu Chang couldn't stop shouting.When Yun Chang came over, Cao Bing was defeated, and most of the Mabu Army lost.The defeated army rushed into Fancheng, and Cao Ren urgently sent for help.Mission Xingye arrived in Chang'an, and presented the book to Cao Cao, saying: "Yun Chang has broken Xiangyang, and now it is urgent to encircle Fancheng; I hope the general will come to rescue."Cao Cao pointed to one person in the squad and said, "You can go and relieve the siege of Fancheng."The person responded.Everyone sees it, but it is forbidden.The ban said: "I am asking for a general to be the vanguard and lead the troops to go with me."Cao asked the crowd again, "Who dares to be a pioneer?"One person rushed out and said: "I am willing to do the work of a dog and a horse to capture Guan Mou alive and offer it to my subordinates."Great joy for viewing.It's exactly: I didn't see Soochow coming to wait for the gap, but I first looked at the Northern Wei and added troops.It is unknown who this person is, and see the breakdown below.
