In fact, it is hard to imagine that Zhao Yun would lose to Lu Meng who had traveled a long distance in Changsha.
Although Lü Meng was engaged in a surprise attack, fighting all the way from Baqiu Port to the gates of Chang'an City was already at the end of a strong crossbow. It can be seen here that although Lü Meng himself has some abilities, he still lacks the firepower in terms of troop dispatching.
.
Of course, Sun Quan did not win Jiangling as he wished in this battle.
The route he originally expected was Chaisang - Baqiu Port - Changsha - while containing reinforcements that might arrive from the direction of Gong'an City, he could rely on the army to stab Guan Yu in Jiangling in the butt.
Well...Sun Quan really likes to poke other people's butts, and this has been quite confirmed for many years to come.
However, the problem does exist.
Lu Meng caught Han Xuan off guard at first. After Zhuge Liang quickly issued the dispatch order, from the direction of the public security, Chen and Huo Jun led 20,000 troops and quickly moved towards Changsha.
In the direction of Guiyang, Zhao Yun also led Guiyang's 30,000 garrison troops and rushed all the way to Changsha in the north for reinforcements.
There is indeed no possibility of Zhao Yun being defeated by Lu Meng.
But later, when the war came to an end, as soon as the reinforcements from Chen and Huo Jun arrived, they fought back Lu Meng, but no one saw any sign of Zhao Yun's reinforcements.
Therefore, Zhao Yun had an accident on his way to support Changsha.
The origin of this matter is very deep.
As for the specific results, many people did not expect that, except for Jiang Qin who had been guarding the city in Luling for a long time, even many people in Soochow did not expect that this battle, which was supposed to be a surprise attack on Jiangling in Nanjun, was fought to the end.
, they actually took Guiyang down.
To put it simply, Zhao Fan, the former governor of Guiyang, rebelled.
On the eve of Zhao Yun raising his troops, he sent people to sneak attack Zhao Yun, but Zhao Yun was injured and fled into the mountains and forests northeast of Guiyang, and disappeared.
Furious, Zhao Fan set fire to a large area of the mountain, but in the end Zhao Yun was nowhere to be found.
Such behavior has naturally completely angered Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and others.
Therefore, Zhao Fan jumped to Soochow before being attacked by Liu Bei - Jiang Qin's contribution cannot be underestimated.
In the past two or three years, Jiang Qin contacted Zhao Fan many times. In fact, he had already turned against him. However, if we want to trace the psychological reasons for Zhao Fan's rebellion, we actually have to go back to the Battle of Chibi, when Liu Bei won the championship in one fell swoop.
At that point in time in the four southern counties.
When Zhang Fei, Guan Yu and others took Changsha City all the way, Zhuge Liang sent Zhao Yun to lead a troop of troops to Guiyang to conquer Zhao Fan.
Zhao Yun lived up to expectations, not only defeated the defenders of Guiyang such as Chen Ying and Bao Long, but also won the favor of the people of Guiyang.
After all, he was a general with a white horse and a silver spear. Zhao Yun, who looked handsome and resolute, was full of military virtue and was not good at killing prisoners. Zhao Fan, the prefect of Guiyang, finally surrendered to Kaicheng under the pressure of public opinion, and even later developed a relationship with Zhao Yun.
I remember that there was a period of time when Zhao Yun stayed in Guiyang for a long time on the pretext of visiting relatives, and the cause of this rebellion was at that time——
Needless to say, Zhao Fan's character was a man. He had guarded Guiyang for so many years. Although the people were not in dire straits, there were still complaints from everyone.
This person is just a showman and has some crooked ideas in his mind.
He was worried that his status would not be guaranteed in the future, that he would be denounced by the people, and that he would be replaced by Liu Bei's cronies such as Zhao Yun, so he thought of a way to build a relationship: this man had a beautiful widow named Fan, and at that time he designed
Arrangements were made for Zhao Yun and Na Fan to meet by chance, and within just one month, the two developed a secret love.
However...in the end, Zhao Yun heard what Zhao Fan meant at the banquet——
Fan couldn't help herself. Although she was in love with Zhao Yun, as a woman, she still had to obey Zhao Fanyan. Otherwise, her parents...
Realizing that Zhao Fan was taking advantage of the Fan family, Zhao Yun fell out with Zhao Fan at that time, not to mention being distant relatives. Zhao Yun, who entered the hall with a gun, almost killed Zhao Fan in anger.
It has nothing to do with the camp. Loyal military generals are often upright in their hearts and do not tolerate such things. Zhao Yun's outburst became an opportunity for Zhao Fan to be demoted. Later, Zhao Yun sent a document to Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang did not hesitate at all and withdrew.
Zhao Fan's position as prefect was temporarily replaced by Zhao Yun.
It seems unknown what the friendship between Fan and Zhao Yun will be later. Zhao Yun certainly rescued Fan from the sea of suffering and sent Fan to Wuling - but Zhao Fan, who was demoted, held a grudge for this.
And he knew that as long as Zhao Yun was still there, he would never be able to make a comeback. It happened that Zhao Yun was joining forces with Jiang Qin from Luling to attack Guiyang. Another way out was placed in front of him, and Zhao Fan caught it as expected.
That life-saving straw.
It can be said that Zhao Yun was injured in a sneak attack designed by Zhao Fan, which was a grudge that spanned three years.
Zhao Yun himself did not take too many precautions and made mistakes, but it was a done deal. Zhao Fan's rebellion had become a fact. Liu Bei's camp, who received the news of Zhao Yun's disappearance, almost went crazy with anxiety. On the other hand, Huang Zhong gave up Yong'an's offensive and led Zhang Fei personally.
The army attacked Zhao Fan, and Zhao Fan suffered terribly and was retreating steadily. On the other hand, Liu Bei also sent a considerable number of men to search for Zhao Yun all over the mountains and plains.
When the people of Soochow, especially Jiang Qin, learned that Liu Bei's general Zhao Yun was missing, they immediately reported it to Sun Quan.
Sun Quan also launched a huge search network.
The two groups were in a stalemate at the end of the 15th year of Jian'an, and they were also frantically looking for the same person.
"You want to see people alive, you want to see corpses when you're dead."
Later, Liu Bei became so pessimistic. It can be said that Liu Beijun had given up hope of finding Zhao Yun.
Similarly, Sun Quan also said the same thing——
But the reason is completely different:
"You want to see people alive, you want to see corpses when you're dead!"
"If someone like Zhao Zilong is allowed to sneak into Soochow alive... none of you will be able to sleep peacefully!"
As a result, in the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month, two travelers, a man and a woman, discovered a tall man lying injured on the ground in the river channel of Sizhou Mountain, north of Guiyang.
When he found this man, there was a snow-white war horse kneeling next to him. The horse was also injured, but it hooked its master with its front hooves to prevent his master from being washed away by the river——
Two months have passed in the blink of an eye.
This scene at this time is really a trick of fate.
Zhao Yun confessed everything, he must go back to Jiangling or Changsha, or Guiyang...
He is indispensable in the army, and he can't keep harassing these two simple people. With Soochow sentries all over the mountains and plains, these two people have not been dragged down by him until now. They are already lucky among misfortunes.
Already.
So he confessed—
But... to his surprise, neither the man opposite nor the woman showed any surprise...
"Forehead--"
Zhao Yun, who was at a loss for a moment, subconsciously thought that these two people might have lived in the mountains for a long time and had never heard of his name...
But then, the man named Lu Qinghou smiled, dispelling all Zhao Yun's wild thoughts:
"Lingqi and I have discovered this a long time ago."
