Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang for a plan to resist Cao Cao's army. "Xinye is a small county," said Zhuge Liang,"and I cannot stay there for long. I have recently heard that Liu Jingsheng is in critical condition.

Du, take this opportunity to seize Jingzhou as a place to settle down, perhaps can resist Cao Cao.”Liu Bei said,"Your words are very good, but I have received a great opportunity.

How can I bear to take advantage of your kindness?" Zhuge Liang said,"If we don't take it now, it's too late to regret it.”Liu Bei said,"I would rather die than betray my duty.

" "Let's discuss it further," said Zhuge Liang.

When Xiahou Dun returned to Xuchang, he tied himself up and went to see Cao Cao. He fell to the ground and begged to die. Cao Cao released him. Zhang Dun said,"I was tricked by Zhuge Liang.

Fire broke through our army." Cao Cao said,"You have been a soldier since you were a child. Don't you know that a narrow place must be defended against fire?”"Li Dian and Yu Jin once said,"

It's too late to regret this!" Cao Cao rewarded them. "Liu Bei is so savage that he is really a thorn in our side. We must get rid of him as soon as possible.”fuck

"What I am worried about are Liu Bei and Sun Quan. I don't care about the rest. Now I should take advantage of this opportunity to sweep the south of the Yangtze River.”So he ordered the soldiers to go

100,000 men. Cao Ren and Cao Hong were the first, and Zhang Liao and Zhang He were the second. Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun were in the third team. Yu Jin and Li were in the third team.

Yuan Dian was the fourth team, and Cao Cao himself led the generals into the fifth team. Each team led 100,000 troops. He also appointed Xu Chu as the general of the retreat and led 3,000 troops as the vanguard.

Feng. He chose Bingwu, July 13, the autumn of Jian 'an.

It is dangerous and difficult to attack. Now the Prime Minister has sent such an unjust army. I am afraid he will lose the hope of the world.”"Liu Bei, Liu Biao, and Sun Quan are all traitors," said Cao Cao angrily.

How can I not punish a minister who has given his life?" Then he rebuked Kong Rong and gave the order,"If anyone tries to remonstrate again, he will be beheaded.”Kong Rong went out of the mansion and looked up to the sky and sighed.

"How can we not be defeated if we attack the most benevolent?”At that time, a guest of Xi Lu, the imperial censor, heard this and told Xi Lu. Xi Lu was often insulted by Kong Rong.

He was very angry with him, so he told Cao Cao these words and said: "Rong often insults the Prime Minister and is on good terms with Mi Heng. Mi Heng praises Rong.

Confucius said that Confucius did not die, Zhang Rong praised Zhang Heng that Yan Hui came back to life. Just now, Mi Heng insulted the Prime Minister, which was sent by Fu Rong.”Cao Cao was furious and ordered the Tingwei to arrest him.

Capture Kong Rong. Zhang Rong had two sons. They were still young. At that time, they were sitting at home and playing chess with each other. His attendants reported,"Your excellency has been taken away by the officers of the Imperial Court, and will be beheaded.

Yes! Second Young Master, why don't you run away?" "How can there be a whole egg under a broken nest?" said the two.”Before he could finish speaking, Tingwei came again and arrested all of Zhang Rong.

His family and his two sons were beheaded and ordered their bodies to be melted in the market. Jingzhao fat practice lying on the body crying. When Cao Cao heard this, he was furious and wanted to kill him. Xun Yu

"I have heard that Zhi Xi often admonished me, saying, You are too upright and upright, which is the way to bring disaster. Now I have come to cry after my death. I am a righteous man. You can't do this.

Kill them." Cao Cao gave up, and Wang Xi collected the bodies of Wang Rong and his son and buried them. Later, there was a poem praising Kong Rong, saying,"Kong Rong lived in the North Sea, and his heroic spirit grew."

Rainbow: sitting on the guests long full, the bottle of wine is not empty; His articles shocked the secular world, and his laughter insulted the princes. The historian praised his loyalty and integrity, and the official position was recorded in Taizhong.”Cao

After killing Kong Rong, Cao Cao ordered the five teams to set out in order, leaving only Xun Yu and others to guard Xuchang.

Liu Biao of Jingzhou was seriously ill and had sent for Liu Bei. Liu Bei led Guan Zhong and Zhang Xuan to Jingzhou to see Liu Biao. "My illness is over," said Biao.

He entered the incurable disease and died soon after. He entrusted his father to his brother. My son has no talent, I'm afraid he can't inherit his father's career. After I die, you can lead Jingzhou by yourself.

Arrived. Liu Bei said goodbye to Liu Biao and returned to Xinye at night. Liu Biao was surprised to hear this while he was ill. They discussed writing a will and asked Liu Bei to assist Liu Biao.

His son Liu Qi was the ruler of Jingzhou. Mrs. Cai was furious and closed the door. Send Cai Mao and Zhang Yun to guard the outer gate. When Liu Qi was in the river

In the summer, when he learned that his father was critically ill, he came to Jingzhou to visit him. When he reached the outer gate, Cai Mao stopped him and said: "Young Master has been ordered by his father to guard Jiangxia.

Now I leave my post without permission. What should I do if the Wu army comes? If you go in to see the Lord, the Lord will be angry and his illness will worsen. This is not filial piety.

That's right. You should return quickly." Liu Qi stood outside the door and cried loudly. He mounted his horse and returned to Jiangxia. Liu Biao was seriously ill and hoped that Liu Qi would not come. to

On the fifth day of the eighth month, he cried out several times and died. Later, a poem lamented Liu Biao, saying,"I heard that the Yuan family lived in Heshuo, and I saw Liu Jun dominating Hanyang. total

Because of the female morning caused the family burden, poor will soon be destroyed!”

After Liu Biao's death, Lady Cai, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun discussed with each other and wrote a fake will, ordering Liu Cong, the second son, to be the ruler of Jingzhou, and then mourned for Liu Biao.

Funeral. At that time, Liu Cong was only fourteen years old and very clever. He gathered a crowd and said: "My father passed away, my brother is now in Jiangxia, and my uncle Xuande is still alive.

In Xinye. You have made me Lord. If brother and uncle send troops to punish, how to explain?”Before the officials could answer, Li Gui, the curtain officer, replied:

"Young Master, you are right. Now we can send a letter of grief to Jiangxia, asking the eldest son to be the ruler of Jingzhou, and let Liu Bei take charge of it together. bei could

Against Cao Cao, we can resist Sun Quan in the south. This is a foolproof plan." "Who are you," said Cai Mao,"that you should go against my lord's will?”

Li Gui cursed,"You have conspired with your friends inside and outside the court, and you have pretended to be a testament to abolish the elders and appoint the young. You have seen the nine prefectures of Jing and Xiang being handed over to the Cai family. Therefore, the Lord has

He was stationed to guard against Liu Qi and Liu Bei. Liu Biao's coffin was buried in the east of Xiangyang City, but Liu Qi and Liu Bei were not buried.

When Liu Cong arrived at Xiangyang, he had just rested his horse when he suddenly reported that Cao Cao had led his army straight to Xiangyang. Liu Cong was shocked and asked Kuai Yue, Cai Mao and others to negotiate.

Report the funeral, if they send troops to punish, Jingxiang will be in danger. I have a plan that can make the people of Jingxiang as safe as Mount Tai and preserve the name of the Lord.

Jue." "What is the plan?" asked Liu Cong. "It is better to give the nine prefectures of Jing and Xiang to Cao Cao, who will certainly treat you well.”Cong

"What are you talking about? I inherited the inheritance of my father's family, and my position is not stable yet. How can I abandon it to others?”Kuai Yue said,"Fu Gong is very kind to him

That's right. There is a general principle of rebellion and obedience, and there is a fixed pattern of strength and weakness. Now Cao Cao is conquering the south and the north in the name of the court. Your Majesty, if you resist him, you will lose your reputation.

Shun. Besides, the lord has just ascended the throne, and the foreign invasion has not been pacified, but the internal trouble will occur. When the people of Jingzhou and Xiangyang heard that Cao Cao's army had arrived, they were frightened before they fought. How could they fight against Cao Cao's army?

What?" "Good words, gentlemen," said Liu Cong,"but I will not obey them. As long as the achievements of the late king are abandoned to others, I am afraid they will be laughed at by the world.”

Before he could finish speaking, a man came forward and said,"Fu Gongti and Kuai Yidu's words are very good, why not follow them?”Everyone looked and saw that it was Shanyang.

Gaoping people, surnamed Wang, named Can, word Zhongxuan. Yuan Can looks thin and short. When he was young, he went to see Zhonglang Cai Yong. Cai Yong was tall and full of friends.

When he heard that Yuan Can had arrived, he turned his shoes upside down to meet him. The guests were surprised and said,"Why does Cai Zhonglang only respect this boy?”"He is a man of extraordinary talent," said Yong.

Yuan Can again for him to put out, not missing a son. He is also good at arithmetic. His words were wonderful for a time. At the age of seventeen, he was called up to serve as the assistant minister of the Yellow Gate, but he did not take office. after

He fled to Jingxiang to avoid the chaos, and Liu Biao made him a distinguished guest. Then he said to Liu Cong,"How do you compare yourself with Cao Cao?”"It's better," said Cong.

Yes." Cao Can said,"Cao Cao's army is strong, his generals are brave, and he is resourceful. Lu Bu was captured alive at Xiapi, Yuan Shao was defeated at Guandu, and Liu Bei was driven out of Longyou.

Defeat the Wuhuan in the White Wolf Army, and the number of people who have been killed is countless. Now with a large army south to Jingxiang, it is difficult to resist the enemy. The schemes of Fu and Kuai,

This is a long-term plan. General, you can't hesitate, or you'll regret it.”"You are right, sir," said Liu Cong. But you have to let mother know." only

He saw Lady Cai coming out from behind the screen and said to Liu Cong: "Since Zhongxuan, Gongti, and Yidu saw the same thing, why tell me?”so

Liu Cong made up his mind and wrote a letter of surrender. He ordered Song Zhong to secretly go to Cao Cao's army and offer it to Cao Cao. Song Zhong accepted the order and went to Wancheng. Then he followed Cao Cao and presented the gift.

Send a letter. Cao Cao was overjoyed and rewarded Song Zhong. He ordered Liu Cong to go out of the city to meet him and make him the ruler of Jingzhou forever.

Song Zhong thanked Cao Cao and returned to Jingxiang. When he was about to cross the river, he suddenly saw a group of people coming. When he looked at them, he saw that it was Guan Yunchang. song Zhong

After a while, he was stopped by Yun Chang and asked about Jingzhou in detail. At first, Zhong concealed his identity, but later he was questioned by Yun Chang and could only tell him the whole story.

Tell the truth. Yun Chang was shocked and followed Song Zhong to Xinye to see Liu Bei and tell him everything. When Liu Bei heard this, he wept bitterly. Zhang Fei said,"

"Now that things have come to this, we can kill Song Zhong first, cross the river with the army, seize Xiangyang, kill Cai Shi and Liu Cong, and then fight Cao Cao.”

Killing you won't do anything. Go quickly." Yu Zhong thanked him and ran away like a rat with his head in his hands. While Liu Bei was feeling depressed, he suddenly heard that his son Liu Qi had sent Yi Ji.

Come on. Liu Bei was moved by Yi Ji's kindness to him in the past. He went down the steps to meet him and thanked him again and again. "The eldest son is in Jiangxia," said Ji."He has heard that Jingzhou is

Therefore, Mrs. Cai and Cai Mao discussed, did not come to report the funeral, finally made Liu Cong as the leader. The prince sent someone to Xiangyang to inquire, and the messenger said it was true. terrorist

You don't know, so I've sent a letter of grief to you, asking you to send all your elite soldiers to Xiangyang to punish me.”When Xuande finished reading, he said,

"Uncle Ji only knows that Liu Cong has usurped the throne, but he does not know that Liu Cong has given the nine prefectures of Jingxiang to Cao Cao.”"You, sir," said Ji in alarm.

How do you know?" Liu Bei told him in detail about the capture of Song Zhong. "In that case," said Ji,"you might as well go to Xiangyang in the name of mourning.

He lured Liu Cong out to meet him, captured him and killed his accomplices. Then Jingzhou will belong to you.”"Uncle Ji is right," said Zhuge Liang. My lord, may

I agree." Liu Bei wept and said,"My brother has entrusted his son to me. If I were to seize his son and seize his land, and he dies in the netherworld some day, what would I do?

Will you ever see my brother again?" Zhuge Liang said,"If we don't do this, Cao Cao's army is already at Wancheng. How can we resist the enemy?”"No," said Xuande.

If we go to Fan City, we can avoid it."

As they were discussing, the scouts reported that Cao Cao's army had arrived at Bowang. Xuande hurriedly sent Yi Ji back to Jiangxia to reorganize his army.

discuss how to resist the enemy. Zhuge Liang said,"Please be at ease, my lord. A fire had burned most of Xiahou Dun's troops. Today, Cao Cao's army again

Come, I'll make him fall for this trap. We can't stay in Xinye, so we might as well go to Fan City as soon as possible.”So he sent people to put up a notice at the four gates to inform the residents.

Min: "Whether old or young, men or women, those who are willing to follow me will follow me to Fancheng to take refuge for the time being. Don't delay.”Send Sun Qian to the riverside

Send ships to relieve the people, and send Mi Zhu to escort the families of the officials to Fancheng. At the same time, he gathered all the generals to listen to his orders. First, he told Yun Chang to lead 1,000 troops to go to Bai.

the river's upper reaches lie in ambush. Each of them took a cloth bag and filled it with sand to stop the water of the White River. After midnight, they heard the leader of the lower reaches shouting for horses.

Hiss, hurriedly took out the cloth bag, poured water on it, and then went down with the water to meet him. He also ordered Zhang Fei to lead 1,000 troops to Boling Ferry to ambush. this

If the water is the slowest, Cao Cao's army will be flooded and will definitely escape from here. We can take advantage of the situation to kill and come to support. Then he ordered Zhao Yun to lead three thousand troops into four teams.

He led a team to lie in ambush outside the east gate, and three teams to lie in ambush at the west, south and north gates respectively. He retreated in front of the houses of the people in the city and hid a lot of sulfur, flame and saltpeter.

Fire. When Cao Cao's army enters the city, they must rest in the houses. After dusk, there will be a strong wind. Just look at the wind and tell the three gates of the west, south and north.

The soldiers in ambush shot all the rockets into the city. When the fire in the city was great, they shouted and cheered outside the city, leaving only the east gate to let him go. You're not

Outside the east gate, they attacked from behind. At dawn, they met with Guan Yu and Zhang Yu and withdrew their troops back to Fancheng. He also ordered Mi Fang and Liu Feng to lead 2,000 troops. half

Red flag, half green flag, thirty miles from Xinye City, stationed in front of the magpie tail slope. As soon as Cao Cao's army arrived, the Red Flag Army would move to the left, and the Green Flag Army would move to the left.

On the right. He was suspicious and did not dare to chase. The two of you will go and ambush separately. I only hope that the city will be on fire, and then I can chase down the defeated soldiers, and then come back to Bai.

the upper reaches of the river meet up. Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei climbed high to watch the battle, waiting for the news of victory. Cao Ren and Cao Hong led 100,000 troops.

Xu Chu had already led three thousand armored soldiers to open up a path for the vanguard, charging towards Xinye in a mighty manner. At noon, I came to Magpie Tail.

On the slope, Xu Chu saw a group of people and horses in front of the slope. They were all playing green and red flags. Xu Chu urged the army to move forward. Liu Feng and Mi Fang were divided into four teams, Green and Red.

Return to your left and right. Xu Chu reined in his horse and told him not to advance. My soldiers will only stay here." Xu Chu rode his horse and reported

Cao Ren of the front team. "This is a distraction," said Cao Ren."There will be no ambush. You can attack quickly. I'll urge the army to follow." Xu Chu returned to the slope,

He led his troops and charged in. When he went to the forest to look for him, he couldn't see a man. the sun has already set in the west. Xu Chu was about to move forward when he heard the mountain boasting loudly.

When he looked up, he saw a bunch of flags on the mountain top, and two umbrella covers in the middle of the flags: Liu Bei on the left and Zhuge Liang on the right sat facing each other and drank. Xu Chuda

Anger, led the army to find a way up the mountain. On the mountain, the wooden cannons and stones were shot down, and they could not advance. Then he heard a loud shout behind the mountain. I want to find a way to kill,

It was already late. Cao Ren led his troops to the city and ordered the soldiers to seize Xinye City to rest their horses. When the soldiers reached the city, they saw the four gates open. Cao Cao's army attacked the enemy, and

There was no resistance, and there was no one in the city. It was actually an empty city. Cao Hong said,"He is a lonely man with no other means, so he fled with the people.

It was over. Our army will rest in the city for the time being and march at dawn.”At this time, all the troops were tired and hungry, so they went to seize the houses to make food. Cao

Cao Ren and Cao Hong were resting in the palace. After the first watch, there was a strong wind. The guards at the gate flew to report that the fire had started. Cao Ren said,"The soldiers must have done it.

If you don't eat carefully, you will miss the fire. Don't be alarmed.”Before he could finish speaking, several reports came in succession, and the west, south and north gates were on fire. Cao

Ren hurriedly ordered the soldiers to get on the horse, the whole county fire, up and down red. The fire that night was even better than the fire that burned the village in Bowang the day before. Later generations have poems and sighs

"The treacherous Cao Cao is guarding the Central Plains. In September he marched south to Hanchuan. Feng Bo angrily rushed to Xinye County, Zhu Rong flew down from the sky.”Cao Ren leads the crowd

When he heard that there was no fire at the east gate, he hurried out of the east gate. The soldiers trampled on the ground and killed countless people. Cao Ren and others

Just as they escaped from the fire, a shout came from behind them. Zhao Yun led his troops to fight. The defeated soldiers fled for their lives. Who was willing to turn around and fight? Running

At this time, Mi Fang led an army to attack and kill. Cao Ren was defeated and fled. Liu Feng led another army to intercept him. At the fourth watch

At the end of the day, the soldiers were exhausted, and most of the soldiers were burned. He ran to the bank of the White River. He was glad that the river was not very deep, and all the horses and horses went down to the river to drink water. person

All the horses neighed.

He shouted for the horses to neigh and ordered the soldiers to pick up the cloth bags together. The water surged into the sky and rushed downstream. Cao Cao's troops were drowned in the water and died.

Many. Cao Ren led his generals to the place where the water was slow and fled. When they reached the Boling Ferry, they heard a loud shout. An army blocked the way.

The general was Zhang Fei. He shouted,"Cao Cao, come and take your life!”The Cao army was shocked. Indeed: In the city I see red flames spew out, and by the water I meet darkness.

The wind blew. I don't know what happened to Cao Ren, but I'll explain it later.
