Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 35 Rescue Liu Bei
Liu Chan readily accepts the praise of everyone. For a monarch, it is undoubtedly a bonus to win the admiration of everyone with his achievements and strategies, especially in a world of disputes.

And it is also very helpful for him to ascend the throne and take charge of the government in the future. After Liu Bei's death, the Shu Han was precarious at home and abroad, with internal and external troubles; a monarch without prestige could not reassure domestic subjects. This is one of the reasons why Liu Chan insisted on going to Yiling.

Liu Chan waited for everyone to finish speaking, and greeted Huang Quan with concern on his face: "Huang Qing, have all the more than ten thousand soldiers arrived in Luzhai, Zhuoxiang? Is there any damage?"

Then he asked Xiang Chong, "Xiang Qing, will you meet any difficulties on the road?"

Huang Quan clasped his hands and replied: "Quan's headquarters, thanks to His Royal Highness's blessings, have all crossed the river, and the front has reached Zhuoxiang, and the rest are on the way."

Xiang Chong bowed his hands and said gratefully: "Chong was lucky to be rescued by Zhao Dudu. Although hundreds of people were lost, Zhao Dudu's supernatural power killed Wu general Han Dang, defeated Wu's dare-death army cavalry, and surrendered nearly [-] cavalry."

Hearing the words, Liu Chan looked at Zhao Yun and praised: "Captain Zhao is worthy of being General Huwei. After the battle, he will report to His Majesty and ask for credit for Commander Zhao."

Liu Chan's face turned solemn, and he asked everyone: "I have your majesty's personal guards to report that your majesty is besieged in Ma'anshan. Lu Xun, Sun Huan, Zhuge Jin, and Luo Tong led the Wu army to attack fiercely. How should we rescue him?" General, Dudu Zhao and everyone can speak."

After everyone pondered, Huang Quan cupped his hands and said: "There is a trail behind Ma'anshan, which can reach Zigui. Our army can enter and exit the trail from the west, and rescue Your Majesty from the east."

"As for how to rescue, you can send General Zilong to lead the cavalry, go first, and set up a tooth flag at the foot of the mountain, so as to reassure your Majesty and our soldiers, and disturb the Wu army's morale, and then lead the infantry by yourself, behind General Zilong. , the majority of flags, to confuse the Wu army, and make the Wu army think that our army is powerful, and can attack your majesty inside and outside, and rescue your majesty."

After thinking about it, Liu Chan asked Zhao Yun, "Captain Zhao, what do you think?"

Zhao Yun replied yes.

Combined with what Huang Quan said, Liu Chan asked the crowd, and said in a high-pitched voice, "Huang Qing's words are reasonable, but I want to go to the rescue with Zhao Dudu and go to your majesty! What do you think?"

After hearing this, everyone dissuaded Liu Chan from going.

Dong Yun cupped his hands and dissuaded him: "His Majesty, throughout the ages, only His Majesty has personally conscripted, and the Crown Prince has never personally conscripted. An old saying goes: 'The teacher is just making orders. It is not powerful to obey orders, and it is not filial to take orders. Therefore, the heirs of the emperor are not suitable. You can be handsome.'Your Highness, think twice!"

Liu Chan showed determination and said: "Xiu Zhao said that Duke Xian of Jin sent Prince Shen Sheng to go to war. Now that His Majesty is besieged, there is no reason why he should not be saved as a son of man."

Dong Yun continued to speak loudly: "Your Highness, His Majesty is under siege today, and his life and death are unknown. If His Highness goes here, in case something happens, the great man will be revived. Who will he deliver to? If His Highness cannot be rescued, what will people in the world think of His Highness?"

Liu Chan glared at Dong Yun angrily, and said sharply, "Dong Xiuzhao, this remark hurts your heart, you step back now, I forgive you for your slip of the tongue."

Dong Yun didn't back down, straightened his neck and said: "Your Highness, this is my Dong Yun's responsibility, I can't back down."

Liu Chan clapped the case and said angrily: "Where is Liu Bing? Take Dong Yun down."

Liu Bing leads the guards, ready to step forward to take down Dong Yun.

Seeing this, Huang Quan stepped forward and cupped his hands to advise: "Wait a moment, Your Highness, please listen to Quan's words for now. Everyone knows your highness's benevolence and filial piety. His Majesty's more than ten thousand people are elites who have followed His Majesty for many years. It will be no problem for His Majesty to be besieged." .”

"Xiu Zhao made a slip of the tongue, but Xiu Zhao was thinking about His Highness. Your Highness is the crown prince of my great Han Dynasty. His Highness is as important as Mount Tai. If you have General Zhao to protect you, you will be fine, but the cavalry on the small road is difficult and easy to fall. Your Highness can go with the army. "

Liu Chan's expression softened a little when he heard this, Dong Yun seemed to want to say something, but Huang Quan shook his head to signal.

Dong Yun didn't care and continued to cup his hands and said: "If Your Highness insists on going, please go with the army. General Zhao will lead the cavalry and guard the army. You don't have to go first. You can send local soldiers to meet Your Majesty at night."

Hearing that Dong Yun did not stop him, Liu Chan ordered everyone to slowly say: "In this case, as An Qing said, send nine thousand troops. After Huang Qing and I lead the Chinese army to suppress seven thousand, Zhao Dudu will lead two thousand troops to ride on the ground. Before that, immediately send scouts to Ma'anshan to report the news."

"Xiang Qing sticks to the camp, and Zijun meets the generals in the forest, waiting for the news of His Majesty's withdrawal. When the time comes, they will go upstream along the bank of the big river and arrive. The navy will immediately withdraw to Zigui. Can you object?"

Huang Quan led everyone to respond; Liu Chan ordered everyone to retreat and set out to rescue Liu Bei at noon. They went out of the camp and returned to the camp to prepare soldiers, horses, food and grass.

Liu Chan saw that everyone retreated, looked coldly at Liu Bing who was standing there, and said: "Liu Bing, you are not good at guarding the camp gate, so take twenty army sticks yourself."

Liu Bing's face turned pale when he heard the words, and he didn't dare to say anything, only replied: "No."

When Huang Quan was preparing in the camp, he heard the soldiers discussing that Liu Bing was fined [-] army sticks for failing to guard the camp gate. He couldn't help sighing: "Your Highness, rewards and punishments are clearly defined, and we can prevent the passing of time; Your Highness has the style of a prime minister, and he will live up to the prime minister's teaching since childhood." Ashamed that Liu Bing was punished because of himself.

In summer, when the sun is high in the sky and the breeze blows slowly, there is a smell of burnt trees. On Ma'an Mountain, the Han flag is flying, and the Wu flag stands at the foot of the mountain.

Standing on Ma'an Mountain, Liu Bei looked at the company's camp, the trees were scorched and barren, and the fire continued to spread. He couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

Liu Bei dared to think too much, and asked Wu Yi, "Ziyuan (Wu Yi's character), what is the loss of the company?"

Wu Yi bowed his hands with a serious face and said, "It's really hard to count. At present, there are nearly a thousand soldiers in the front company battalion. According to the remnant soldiers, the barbarian king Samoke, Feng Xi, and Zhang Nan were killed in battle; the damage in the rear is unknown."

When Liu Bei heard the loss, Wu Yi comforted him and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know the loss of the rear battalion. There are Zilong and the prince stationed in Luzhai, Zhuoxiang, and they are more than enough to defend; Luzhai is not lost, so we can go forward to meet the rout of the company battalion." , the loss may not be as the minister said!"

Listening to Wu Yi's comfort, Liu Bei pointed to the company's battalion and said calmly: "The company's battalion is completely lost. It's nothing more than one or two thousand people more. The fire is raging. In addition to the Wu army's fierce attack, our soldiers will either die or surrender. The rear Lu Xun must be prepared. How many people are left in this situation!"

Wu Yi was silent after hearing this, but Liu Bei smiled and said, "Even so, I have never been afraid. I raised troops from Zhuo County, and I have had several ups and downs. I have never been afraid of Cao Cao, let alone Lu Xun."

"Zigui has 30,000 soldiers, Zhuoxiang Luzhai has [-] soldiers, Jiangbei Gongheng has [-] soldiers, and our army has more than [-] soldiers, nearly [-] people. Why can't we fight Lu Xun again."

"What's more, Cao Pi's son, Jingbei Hushi, saw that our army was defeated, why didn't he go south to attack Wu, and now Lu Xun and Sun Quan are in trouble day and night!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Liu Bei's hearty laughter spread far and wide on the mountain.
