Huoshao xinye
With the assistance of Zhou Yu, Lu Su and other talents, Sun Quan in Jiangdong further expanded his influence, and there were more than 7,000 warships in the river. Sun Quan worshipped Zhou Yu as the viceroy, commanding the land and water army.
After Cao Cao broke Yuan Shao, he ordered Sun Quan to send a son to Xuchang as a hostage. Wu Guotai, Sun Quan's mother, called Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao to discuss. Zhou Yu believes that once a hostage is sent, everything will be subject to Cao Cao. Finally decided not to send hostages to Xuchang.
Sun Quan's younger brother, Danyang satrap Sun Yi, is strong-willed and likes drinking. Often whip the foot soldiers after drinking. When his men visited him, Dai Yuan colluded with Sun Yi's men Bian Hong. One day, they broke up at a banquet and Bian Hong killed Sun Yi. Gui Lan and Dai Yuan framed Bian Hong and killed him.
Sun Yi's wife, Xu, is beautiful and virtuous. Gui Lan forced Xu to be his little wife. Xu made a false promise and secretly called her husband's cronies, Sun Gao and Fu Ying, to assassinate him while Gui Lan was drunk. Dai Lan went to the party and was also killed.
Soon, Sun Quan led the troops to Danyang, and appointed Sun Gao and Fu Ying as his generals. Take the sister-in-law Xu to Jiangdong for the elderly.
In the spring of the 13th year of Jian 'an, Huang Zu sent Gan Ning to Sun Quan. Sun Quan led the water army to attack Huang Zu. Huang Zu suffered a crushing defeat and was shot dead by an arrow from Gan Ning when he fled.
Sun Quan broke Huang Zu, and Liu Biao invited Liu Bei to Jingzhou for deliberation. Liu Biao wanted to entrust Liu Bei with the management of state affairs because of his old age and illness. But Liu Bei resolutely refused. Kong Ming asked Liu Bei why he refused, and Liu Bei said he didn't want to take advantage of others' danger. Kong Ming sighed with emotion: "Liu Bei is really the Lord of mercy!"
Cao Cao sent Xia Houdun to lead a hundred thousand troops to attack a new field. Counselor Xun Yu said: "Liu Bei is a hero, and Zhuge Liang is a strategist. Don't underestimate the enemy." Xia Houdun said unconvinced, "Liu Bei is just a rat. I must have caught him."
When Zhang Fei heard that Xia Houdun had been killed, he said to Guan Yu, "Cao Jun is here. Just send Kong Ming to meet the enemy." Liu Bei asked his two younger brothers how to meet the enemy. Zhang Fei said, "Why don't you send Zhuge Liang?" Liu Bei criticized Zhang Fei and said, "Kong Ming is wise, and his two brothers are brave. How can you make excuses at random?"
Kong Ming is afraid that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei will not listen to the dispatch and ask Liu Bei to give him the sword seal. Kong Ming sent tasks to Zhao Yun, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Guan Yu felt strange, so he laughed at Kong Ming's leisure. Kong Ming said, "I only sit in the county seat." Zhang Fei was unconvinced, but he could do nothing when he saw the seal of Kong Ming's sword in his hand.
Xia Houdun underestimates his enemy and is introduced into Bowangpo Canyon by Zhao Yun. At this time, the flames were blazing behind him, and the reeds on both sides also burned up, and Cao Jun was burned to the ground. Xiahou Dun made a desperate escape from the path.
Liu Bei's army returned with a great victory. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei only admired Kong Ming's intelligence at this time. When they saw Kong Ming, they dismounted and bowed down.
Liu Bei knew that Cao Cao would lead an army to attack Xinye again. Kong Ming advised Liu Bei to take Jingzhou as a safe place while Liu Biao was seriously ill. Liu Bei said, "He is kind to me. How can I do this?" Kong Ming said, "If you don't take it now, you will regret it later."
Xia Houdun led the beaten army, fled back to Xuchang, and had himself tied up to see Cao Cao. Cao Cao didn't blame him and let Xia Houdun go. Cao Cao raised another 500,000 troops and divided them into five teams to crush the south of the Yangtze River.
Kong Rong advised Cao Cao not to fight this meaningless battle. Kong Rong's enemy, Chi Lv, took the opportunity to sow discord again. Cao Cao was furious and killed Kong Rong's family.
Liu Biao in Jingzhou became increasingly ill. He entrusted his two sons to Liu Bei and asked Liu Bei to manage Jingzhou affairs. Liu Bei only promised to assist Liu Biao's son, but refused to personally lead Jingzhou.
After Liu Biao's death, Mrs. Cai forged a will with Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, and made her own son, Liu Cong, Lord of Jingzhou, and kept the eldest sons, Liu Qi and Liu Bei, from knowing that Liu Biao was dead. The Jingzhou army was led by Chua's family, but Chua and Liu Cong went to Xiangyang to guard against Liu Qi and Liu Bei.
When Cao Bing entered Xiangyang, Fu Xun and Kuai Yue, the former Ministry of Liu Biao, advocated the surrender of Cao. Liu Cong refused, but Mrs. Cai insisted on surrendering, so she had to order Song Zhong to deliver the book and dedicate the nine counties of Jingxiang to Cao Cao.
Song Zhong was captured by Guan Yu on the way to deliver the book, and Liu Bei knew the internal changes in Jingzhou. Yi Ji advised Liu Bei to seize Liu Cong in the name of mourning and get rid of Chua's accomplices. Liu Bei refused to agree. Decided to give up Xinye and go to Fancheng to avoid Cao Jun.
While arranging for the evacuation of troops to Fancheng, Kong Ming dispatched troops to intercept Cao Jun, and then went to the mountain with Liu Bei? Hope, wait for the news of victory.
Kong Ming arranged for his troops to fly red flags and green flags for a while, and introduced Xu Chu to Quewei Slope. When Xu Chu saw Liu Bei and Kong Ming drinking on the hill, he led the army to find the mountain, only to find that the wood and artillery stones were rolling down the mountain and could not move forward.
Coss led his troops to Xinye, and when he saw that the gate was wide open and there was no one in the city, he led his troops to station in the city. At night, a fire broke out in the city, and Zhao Yunling came to the melee.
Coss led his troops to the white river. When the sergeant saw that the river was not deep, he dismounted and drank water. At this time, Guan Yu ordered the soldiers to remove the sandbags that blocked the water in the upstream. At that time, the water was surging, and Cao soldiers and horses were drowned countless times.
Coss' defeated troops arrived at Boling Ferry when they heard a loud shout, which was stopped by Zhang Fei's soldiers and horses, and the two armies fought again.
Zhuge Liang expected that Fancheng could not keep it, so he asked Liu Bei to take Xiangyang. All the people in the city are willing to cross the river with Liu Bei, help the old and take care of the young, and drag men and women. Liu Bei sighed and said, "I came to protect the people, but instead I made them suffer." I will commit suicide by throwing myself into the river, and I will be persuaded by everyone to give up my thoughts.
Liu Bei led the troops to Xiangyang, but Liu Cong could not leave the city gate. Wei Yan was greeted with the opening of the gate, but Wen Pin started a war. Liu Bei refused to enter Xiangyang City when he saw the internal carnage. Kong Ming also offered a plan to let Liu Bei take Jiangling, the land of Jingzhou.
Liu Bei led more than 100,000 people and slowly left for Jiangling. Seeing that Cao Jun's cavalry was about to catch up, the generals advised Liu Bei to lead the army first, but Liu Bei did not want to leave the people behind. He said, "Anyone who can achieve great things should give priority to the interests of the people. Now that the people are willing to come with me, how can I leave them alone? " Hearing this, people were very moved.
Cao Caobing went to Fancheng and called Liu Cong to see him. Liu Cong was afraid to go, so he sent Cai Mao and Zhang Yun. Cao Cao sealed their positions and asked them to tell Liu Cong that he would be the Lord of Jingzhou forever.
Cai's mother crossed the river to meet Cao Cao, but Cao Cao named Liu Cong as the secretariat of Qingzhou. Liu cong was so frightened that he had to set off for Qingzhou with a full stomach, but Cao Cao sent a ban on the way to kill Liu cong and Chua.
