Just like a fortress on the beach that cannot withstand the tide of the sea, this resistance action that all the resistance forces had high hopes for was completely shattered in just one day.
At this point, the strength of both sides is really out of proportion, not to mention the efforts of the new regime and the persistence of the old enemy. Relatively speaking, the efforts of Liu Bei and Zhang Fei seem particularly pathetic.
To a certain extent, perhaps it was just like the wishful thinking of Yan Gong Gong Sun Xun who was far away in Luoyang. Liu Xuande saw that the Han Dynasty had no way to recover, and he himself had no possibility of ambition to dominate, so he simply used his own
He tried his best to cooperate with Yan Jun and ended everything with the simplest and clearest ending, which can be regarded as repaying some of the past kindness.
Of course, there is no way to be sure of this kind of thing unless Liu Bei says it himself.
In the afternoon, on the battlefield on the west bank of Feishui River, the troops of the Yan Army, which had already established a victory, were all slowly searching southward in a strange state. It was obvious that they were looking for the only and biggest result of the battle - Liu Xuande, the general of Han Zuo who led Jingzhou Mu.
myself.
But it is a pity that there may be too many dead and injured generals, which led to the chaos of the Yan Army's army organization, or it may be that Li Tong, who was behind Liu Bei's army, once again staged a tragic death battle behind the rear, so the search that started at noon has always been difficult to find.
Effectiveness.
And when Sima Yi rushed back with Zhang Fei's snake spear and Li Tong's head was obtained by Jiang Juan, the situation reached an extreme - the whole army searched everywhere like crazy, starting from the riverside.
Going to the surrounding villages, from the reed swamps to the dry wells, Liu Bei was the only one left in the eyes of tens of thousands of people.
Of course, as the carpet-like search was still in vain, gradually, combined with the intelligence provided by the prisoners, the Yan army finally determined roughly that Liu Bei should have been wounded and escaped. At this time, he might have fled back to Deng County or even Xiangyang City.
.
This information made the whole Yan army a little irritable... After all, Liu Xuande is a prince, and he wants to see people dead and corpses, let alone see them. The key is to really let him escape back to a strong and famous city like Xiangyang, and the war may still be over.
To postpone.
But at this time it is impossible.
In this way, as the sun set more and more to the west, the army began to have no choice but to collect the troops, reorganize, and then clean the battlefield, and moved forward with some of the remaining troops to sweep forward, trying to enter Liu Beijun's original camp today, and on the second
Early in the morning, they pushed into Deng County again.
In the evening, as the sun sets in the west, farther downstream on the battlefield, the glimmering water is reflected, the green reeds are swaying slightly, and the water birds are flying in clusters. The tranquility is in sharp contrast to the chaotic scene of the upstream battlefield where the battlefield is being cleaned up.
At this time, Han Dang's 5,000 men, who were the first to set out and had basically no involvement in the war on the west bank, successfully crossed the river at the intersection of Bishui and Feishui, and then headed to Juan a few miles further south as planned.
Gather in the small town and leave.
According to what the sentry said, Liu Bei's army was short of troops. They only had garrisons in Xiangyang and Deng counties, and there was no way to take precautions there. And if Han Dang could garrison this small town with five thousand men, he could ensure the main force of Liu Bei's army in the north.
Isolated and surrounded, on the other hand, a frontline base can be set up for the twin cities of Deng County and Xiangyang, which are separated by Mianshui River, for the arrival of the army behind them.
In this regard, Han Yigong, who had no pursuit of military glory for a long time, naturally obeyed the order happily.
Luju is not big, but it has a long history. It has existed since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Because of the old city, it has been maintained on a certain scale as an affiliated settlement of Deng County in the Han Dynasty. Later, with the rise of the Yellow Turban Rebellion
, Nanyang began to have military chaos, and the people here gradually fled, so it was abandoned. However, this place can be regarded as Deng County anyway, a rare traditional city in Xiangyang, a key location, so starting from the Liu Biao era, this place began to become a routine for the Jingzhou Army
A garrison is a so-called existence between a city and a permanent military camp.
When Sun Jian attacked Deng County that day, he occupied this place first and got a chance to breathe before taking action.
Back in front of us, Han Dang was an old army. Five thousand troops came along the river, surrounded by outposts and cavalry. They carried flags, golden drums, horses, and marched in an orderly manner, and they were able to rush to the small town of Zhuju before sunset.
Then they just stationed their horses and watched from a distance, knowing that there should be no troops in the city and it was just an empty city. However, Han Dang still erred on the side of caution. He sent a small number of cavalry into the city to search, and used infantry to seize the outer low walls, watchtowers, and city gates.
And they surrounded it on three sides with a large army.
However, a few seconds after the order was issued, shortly after the cavalry entered the town of Hoju, and even before the outer city walls were fully occupied, the cavalry came out on horseback, rushed to Han Dang, and presented two items...
In other words, it was a set. Han Yigong just took one look and recognized whose swords they were.
Immediately, he abandoned the army and hurriedly followed him on horseback and rode into Luju.
After crossing several sections of the city, Han Dang dismounted and walked around the brick-and-wood structure lobby in the center, arriving on a gentle slope covered with grass next to the Feishui River in the southernmost part of Luju. At a glance, Han Dang saw that his armor was covered with
With dried blood stains, Liu Bei was sitting alone on a small stone barrier with his head bowed.
The water trickled continuously beside him, and the grass beneath him was swaying in the wind. Under the setting sun, Liu Xuande heard the movement and raised his head to look, only to reveal an abnormally pale face.
However, when he saw that it was Han Dang, he actually forced a smile: "Is it actually my righteous brother? It's really great that you can come here..."
Han Dang had so much experience on the battlefield that he could tell with just one glance that the opponent had lost too much blood and was hopeless.
At this time, old friends met, but they met on the battlefield, and life and death were about to be decided. Han Yigong didn't know whether to be happy or sad, so he could only move forward with his sword, came straight to the opponent's side, stood still, and then responded angrily: "Xuan
Why does virtue come to this?"
"The battle at Feishui was defeated, and I fled alone. I wanted to return to Deng County, but I suffered too many wounds on my body and lost a lot of blood. I was exhausted when I arrived at Huju, so I came here to sit and wait to die... So here we are." Liu Bei said word by word.
Answer slowly and carefully.
Han Dang took the opportunity to look at the ground, and sure enough he saw blood stains piled up in the grass under the opponent's body, and at the end of a hanging arm, the leather glove fingertips were still bleeding. It was just because it was late spring and the grass was lush, so it was covered up.
, I just didn’t notice it. Not only that, Han Dang turned back across the grassland and clearly saw the end of the grassland. In the distance, under the back corridor of the main hall of Zheju, there was a line of dried brown blood, all the way from the distance to here, just now.
Covered by green grass.
In fact, this was also the reason why the scouts discovered Liu Bei when they came up.
When he came back to his senses, Han Yigong originally wanted to scold the other party for why he had to be so strong even before death? But seeing the other party's posture, even his body was supported by armor, it was hard for him to express any resentment.
But once he couldn't complain and question, Han Dang didn't know what to say.
"There are two things..." At this moment, Liu Bei took the initiative to speak.
"Speak." Han Dang, who was already powerless, urged, almost as if a burden had been lifted.
"I am a Miao descendant of the Han Dynasty. I should have tried my best to help the Han Dynasty during this period of chaos, but for this, I feel guilty. Please remind my brother for me not to forget the promise he made on the Tongque Tower..."
"I know." Han Dang became increasingly irritable, but he immediately agreed.
"Also...please, brother-in-law, please don't keep my whole body. Just behead me, put it in a wooden box, add lime, and send it to my brother."
Han Dang was completely furious: "Why is this?!"
"This is my last request, and it is a private request. I hope that my righteous brother will not betray me!" Liu Xuande suddenly raised his head, and his words became much smoother. "I also ask my righteous brother to take action immediately!"
Han Dangqing knew that the other party had come back to his senses, but he let out a long sigh, took off his gloves, turned around and tried to pull out one of Liu Bei's two-pronged swords from the soldier behind him.
Unexpectedly, when Liu Bei saw this, he tried his best to speak again: "Please use your own sword, brother."
Han Dang became increasingly helpless, so he could only pull out his sword, stand next to the opponent, and after taking off the opponent's helmet, he hugged the opponent's already powerless head from the neck with his left hand, and crossed the sword blade with his right hand.
Underneath your other hand.
However, when the action reached this point, Han Dang felt weak all over and couldn't make a move at all.
"Brother Yi Gong is in trouble." Liu Bei was almost furious. If he were not in Han Dang's arms, the latter would almost smell bad. "I have been causing trouble to you and brother all my life..."
Obviously, his state of recovery has passed.
Hearing this, Han Dang had no choice but to hide. He exerted a little force with his left hand, but he still couldn't help but gritted his teeth and asked angrily: "You kid, tell me the truth. Have you ever regretted it?"
Liu Bei tried his best to open his mouth, and Han Dang could clearly feel the slight movement of the Adam's apple on the opponent's neck from his left hand. He couldn't help but remain silent for a moment, waiting for these words before making a move.
But at this moment, before Liu Xuande could say his answer, Han Yigong noticed that the weak beating of the blood vessels in the opponent's neck suddenly disappeared, and then his whole head drooped.
At this moment, Han Dang, who was originally filled with anger, confusion, and doubts, his mind went blank for an instant, and then his nose became sour, which he could no longer suppress. With his mind full of meeting and getting to know each other, he traveled from Hebei to Goushi
Bit by bit, the man almost burst into tears, like falling rain.
The soldiers and officers around him were all stunned and dared not speak.
And after an unknown amount of time, until the sun set and all the light disappeared, Han Yigong swung his sword with all his strength and took off the opponent's head in his arms.
In the eighth year of Jian'an, on March 27th, Liu Bei was killed in battle, and Xiasou entered Luo.
On the 28th, Mi Zhu committed suicide in Deng County, and Deng County surrendered.
On the 29th, the Yan army crossed the Mian River, and Lu Su surrendered to Xiangyang City, and presented maps of Jingzhou counties, documents, and a list of Jingzhou clan robbers written by Liu Bei.
The next day, in the name of appreciating peach blossoms, Lu Fan gathered twenty major thieves from Nanjun, including Cai, Kuai, Zhang, Ma, and Huang, in Xiangyang City. He first asked Cai Mao, Kuai Liang, and others about Liu Biao's past stories, and then showed Liu Bei's documents, and then followed them.
Liu Biao followed the old plan and sent out soldiers from the banquet to accept it.
Cai Mao, Kuai Liang, and Zhang Yun were executed on the spot, and dozens of other leaders of large households in Nanjun were imprisoned and sent to Yinshan. The land and belongings of the clan were confiscated as compensation and rewards for the previous war.
On the third day of April, generals Xu Huang, Zang Ba, and Huang Zhong broke through Anlu. Han Chariot General Jingze retreated directly to Sanjiangkou. However, Jiangxia was completely at a loss as soon as the news of the fall of Xiangyang came down the river the day before.
On the fourth day of April, Liu Bei's head was flown to Luoyang by Sima Yi himself.
Perhaps because he had been prepared for it, Gongsun Xun, who lived in the old house in the old city of Luoyang, did not lose his temper like Han Dang. He sat upright in the hall, took the wooden box from Sima Yi himself, and then opened it directly.
When he saw that Liu Bei's head in the box was lifelike, except that his complexion was extremely pale, and the dry lime under the head had turned brown, he suddenly woke up, and then he actually laughed:
"Is my brother okay?"
Everyone around him, from Sima Yi to Ma Dai, and Wang Xiang, were all speechless, except for their hearts beating wildly.
"Bring some drinks." Gongsun Xun suddenly waved his hand. "I want to toast Xuande."
They were relieved and did not dare to neglect. They almost immediately fetched the wine pot and wine bottle from the back hall. Then Ma Dai held the pot and Sima Yi held the cup. They immediately offered a glass of wine to the man who was about to become the supreme person in the world.
Gongsun Xun was sitting there raising a glass to the wooden box and wanted to speak, but he was speechless for a moment. He stood up again, held the glass, and wanted to scatter the wine in the box, but suddenly stopped... Without him, Gongsun Xun always felt that he was still a little behind.
What, it is inevitable that there will be the first in the negative box.
In the end, the man actually gave up drinking, stood up with his hands behind his back, and gave several indifferent orders:
"In accordance with the common people's rites, he was buried in Beimang Mountain! Build a three-story earth altar in the north of the city, and the terrain should be open! Let Jingze quickly finish the Duanjiang summer incident! Sun Quan's son and his family must come to Luoyang to live immediately, otherwise the whole family will be killed.
Don’t come! I want Zi Heng to take over Jingnan quickly, and then go north with Shi Weiyan who stopped in Guiyang! I want Ye Wenwu to prepare to move!”
After saying this, the man threw away his hands and walked away, leaving Wang Xiang alone to write orders and notes in a hurry.

"Having obtained Zhang Fei's Snake Spear, Yi returned to pay a visit to Taizu. Taizu said nothing during the day. At night, he called him in and heard the details. Then he smiled and stroked his back, praising him and saying: 'You can retreat Xuande naked, and fight to gain virtue.
Sure enough, the general will be planted! 'The white horse is restored to protect the army." - "Shishuo Xinyu". Appreciation Chapter
