Guan Yu entered the city to appease the people, and sent people to invite Huang Zhong to see him. Huang Zhong said that he was ill and Guan Yu had no better way, so he sent people to invite Liu Bei and Kong Ming. Liu Bei accepted Kong Ming's suggestion and followed Guan Yu to Changsha. While walking, suddenly the green flag rolled up and a crow flew from north to south. It shouted three times as it passed by. Liu Bei asked: "What's the meaning of this?" ?”
Kong Ming made a judgment based on the divination skills he learned in "Dunjia Tianshu" and said: "Changsha County has been captured, and the lord has also subdued a general. The news will come after noon."
Not long after, a soldier came to report and said: "General Guan Yu has taken Changsha County. The surrendered generals are Huang Zhong and Wei Yan. They are all waiting for the lord."
Liu Bei was very happy after hearing this, and immediately ordered the team to speed up their march, and soon reached the interior of Changsha City.
Guan Yu came out to greet him and told about Huang Zhong. Liu Bei went to Huang Zhong's home in person to invite him. Huang Zhong was moved by Liu Bei's kindness and came out to surrender. However, he had one request, which was that he wanted the body of his old master Han Xuan to be removed. Buried in the east of Changsha.
Of course Liu Bei immediately agreed to this kind of thing. Because Huang Zhong had a great reputation in Jingzhou, and Guan Yu also reported that this veteran general was highly skilled in martial arts and accurate with bows and arrows, Liu Bei treated such talents very well.
Soon Guan Yu brought Wei Yan to meet him. Kong Ming looked at him and asked the warriors to push him out and behead him.
Liu Bei was very surprised and said: "Wei Yan took credit for what happened in Changsha this time. He had no fault. Why did the military advisor kill him?"
Kong Ming said: "Killing the lord while taking his salary is unfaithful. Taking the territory of Changsha but giving it to us first is unjust. Moreover, I saw that Wei Yan had a bone on the back of his head. We If we take him in, he will definitely rebel after a long time, so we killed him first to avoid any trouble."
Liu Bei thought that killing was not feasible at this time, so he advised: "If Wei Yan is killed, everyone in Changsha County, including those who surrendered from other places, will be in danger. I hope the military advisor can forgive him."
Kong Ming pointed at Wei Yan and said: "In this case, I will keep your life first. You can try your best to serve the lord and don't have any other intentions. If you have any other intentions, then I will come and take your head at any time."
Wei Yan saved his life and resigned.
During the chat, Huang Zhong recommended a nephew of Liu Biao named Liu Pan who was living in You County. Liu Bei sent people to find him and made him the prefect of Changsha County. In this way, all four counties in Jingzhou were pacified. , the name of Youjiang was changed to Gong'an, and more and more money and food were provided. Talented people from all over came to join him, and troops and horses were stationed at the pass.
In Jiangdong, Zhou Yu had to go back to Chaisang to recuperate due to Sun Quan's order, and asked Gan Ning to guard Baling County and Ling Tong to guard Hanyang County. Warships were distributed in both places, and they followed suit.
Cheng Pu took the rest of the soldiers to Hefei County. Sun Quan has not returned to Hefei since the Battle of Chibi. He fought with Cao's soldiers more than ten times without winning or losing, and he did not dare to approach the city and build a stronghold. Fifty miles away from the city, Xiazhai heard that Cheng Pu was coming. Sun Quan felt new hope and was very happy. He came out to express condolences in person.
Soon someone reported that Lu Su had also arrived. Sun Quan himself got off his horse to greet him. Seeing this, Lu Su quickly got off his horse and saluted. Everyone was surprised to see Sun Quan treating Lu Su so favorably. Sun Quan asked Lu Su to get on his horse and stand side by side with him. Then Xing secretly said to him: "Can I show my justice by dismounting to greet you personally?"
Lu Su shook his head and said, "No!"
Sun Quan said: "Then how should it be revealed later?"
Lu Su said: "I hope Ming Gong can add mighty virtue to the world, achieve the deeds of a hegemon, and let my name, Lu Su, be recorded in history, then it can be demonstrated!"
Sun Quan burst out laughing after hearing this. When he arrived at the camp, he set up a large banquet to entertain the soldiers and officers, and discussed how to capture Hefei.
During the discussion, Zhang Liao suddenly sent someone to issue a letter of war. Sun Quan took it apart and read it. He was very angry and said, "This Zhang Liao is bullying me too much! He heard that Cheng Pu's troops were coming and sent someone here on purpose." Challenge! When it comes to the decisive battle, I won’t fight with new troops, let’s see how I can take revenge!” So the order was sent at 5:00 that night, and the three armies left the stronghold and headed towards Hefei.
Around Chen time, the army and horses had traveled an ordinary distance. Suddenly Cao Jun arrived and formed a formation on both sides.
Sun Quan wore gold armor and a gold helmet and went out in person. Song Qian on the left and Jia Hua on the right used ordinary Fangtian painted halberds. Both sides were guarded. After three drums passed, Cao Jun's formation opened and the gate flags were opened. , three generals in full uniform appeared in front of the formation, with Zhang Liao in the center, Li Dian on the left, and Le Jin on the right.
Zhang Liao specifically called Sun Quan's name and asked for a duel. Sun Quan picked up his weapon and was about to step forward. Suddenly, a general from the formation came out ahead of time. It was Taishi Ci. Zhang Liao waved his sword and advanced to greet him. The two fought for seventy or eighty rounds. , still can’t tell the winner.
Li Dian, who was in Cao's army, said to Le Jin: "The one wearing a golden helmet on the opposite side is the coach Sun Quan. If we capture Sun Quan, then we can avenge the 830,000 dead brothers."
After hearing this, Le Jin was full of fighting spirit. Before Li Dian could finish speaking, he mounted his horse and ran toward Sun Quan with a flash of his sword. Like a flash of lightning, he raised his sword and dropped it.
Seeing this situation, Song Qian and Jia Hua quickly came out to protect him. Where the sword and the painted halberd were about to cross, the painted halberd was cut into two pieces. They could only throw the broken weapon at Le Jin's head. , Le Jin's progress was blocked. In this gap, Song Qian snatched the weapons of the soldiers around him, and when he caught up, he was ready to kill Le Jin.
Seeing this situation, Li Dian quickly prepared a bow and arrow and shot Song Qian into the heart of Song Qian. Song Qian was unprepared and was killed by a bow and arrow. Taishi Ci saw that there were people dead and wounded behind him and was afraid that Sun Quan would be at fault, so he left Zhang Liao and went to Go back.
Zhang Liao took advantage of the situation to cover up the attack. Wu soldiers were disrupted and ran around. Zhang Liao saw Sun Quan and flew over to pursue him.
When he was about to catch up, an army suddenly came out. The general at the head was Cheng Pu. He killed Sun Quan for a while and rescued Sun Quan in the chaos. Zhang Liao saw that there was no chance, so he could only withdraw Cao's soldiers and return first. Hefei.
Cheng Pu protected Sun Quan and returned to the commander's camp, and other defeated troops also came back one after another. Sun Quan felt very sad because of Song Qian's death and burst into tears.
Zhang Hong, the chief historian, said: "My lord relied on his majestic aura and despised the enemy. Everyone in the three armies felt very chilled. Even if he killed the general's flag and shocked the battlefield, it was the responsibility of the general and not the lord's concern. I hope my lord can He harbored Wang Ba’s plan, and today Song Qian died in the hands of the enemy. This is all because the lord despised the enemy, and I hope it can attract attention."
