Chapter 25: Give good and powerful (1)

Jiang Zhao and Yang Hu saw that Jiang Ban was surrounded by the Wei army and were eager to bring troops to rescue him. Looking around at the army, they saw that everyone looked embarrassed. The Huainan army fought fiercely overnight and almost collapsed. Now they have survived death. Who would like to die again? The Huainan army was originally formed by the merger of several parts, and it is already very rare to be able to withstand such high pressure. The two knew it was difficult to force it, and they suddenly seemed a little tragic.

Yang Hu sighed: "The army has no fighting spirit, what should we do!"

Jiang Zhao laughed and said, "At this point, I can only fight for my life."

The two had decided to order the troops to rescue Jiang Ban, and those who were willing to return to Shouchun were listed behind Yang Hu. When the troops heard the order, there was a stir. A moment later, more than two thousand Huainan troops gathered behind Jiang Zhao. Jiang Zhao smiled at Yang Hu and said, "I didn't expect that the Jiang brothers still had some feelings." Yang Hu's eyes were red and silent. Jiang Zhao shouted, and rode his horse to rush in the front line. More than two thousand Huainan troops behind him rushed towards the Wei formation together.

Wang Chong was responsible for the defense of the outside world. Seeing that only two thousand people rushed over in Huainan, one by one, was covered in blood and dirty clothes and incomplete armor. Although his courage was commendable, his combat power was really vulnerable. At this time, a team of people suddenly appeared on the flank of Jiang Zhao's army, about hundreds of people, pushing countless large chariots and rushing towards the Wei formation. When he looked closely, the leader was Chen Qi. Chen Qi hung his arm and held a sword in the other hand. He did not ride a horse in the formation.

Seeing this, Wang Chong immediately understood. Chen Qi wanted to use nearly 100 large cars to disrupt the Wei formation and assist Jiang Zhao in rescuing Jiang Ban. The large cart in the camp was made in a rough manner, but it was very powerful because it was large in size, simple in structure but very strong. A large wood was tied to the car, and the wood was poked out of the car body and was sharply cut. With the flesh and blood body, it was difficult to intercept the front. After all, it was used by the camp, and the human body could never be stopped.

Since they could not attack the body of the cart, then attack the people who pushed the cart. No one pushed the carts and just piled up waste wood. A unit of about 2,000 people in the Wei formation left the line and lined up to kill Chen Qi's convoy. When Jiang Zhao saw it, he wanted to support him, but was surrounded by the Wei army in Wang Chong's brigade and could not move.

Yang Hu looked far away and looked back and said to the army: "Who would like to follow me back to rescue the army?" There were nearly 20,000 people in the Huainan army. After Yang Hu asked, no one answered. Yang Hu was so angry that the Wei army surrounded Jiang Ban were about 15,000 infantrymen and more than 3,000 cavalry. There were only 12,000 people blocking the rescue of the Huainan army on the outside. There were 24,500 people in various parts of Huainan, and the number of people was obvious.

But the morale of the army was already uneven, and after another fierce battle, the people were disintegrated. Even though Yang Hu repeatedly called out, the army had no fighting spirit, how to fight. The army was originally Wei soldiers stationed in the two Huai Rivers. If they win the battle, they would naturally not be able to see the problem. A tough battle would expose the weaknesses of the Huainan army hastily formed. Wang Ji must have had a firm opinion, so he sent Wang Chong to lead more than 10,000 people to resist more than 20,000 soldiers in Huainan.

There are less than a hundred people left in Yang Hu's headquarters. It's a fantasy to try to save people. Seeing that the troops were numb, Yang Hu sighed but was powerless.

Jiang Ban fought to the death in the Wei formation, but was bitten by Chen Qian's Wei cavalry. The cavalry was defeated and could only fight in position. The surrounding Wei army infantry took the opportunity to rush forward, and the cavalry in Huainan were all down one after another. Chen Qian and Zeng Lie fought against Jiang Ban, and Jiang Ban disheveled his hair and looked crazy. He fought against two generals and killed two generals without stopping. Jiang Ban was determined to take the lives of the two generals with their lives, but he did not want several Wei soldiers to run over on the flanks, and he shot at Jiang Ban. Jiang Ban suddenly realized that it was too late, so he sat down and hit several arrows in a row, and fell to the ground with pain. Jiang Ban was not enough to get up, Chen Qian and Zeng Lie arrived early with one sword and one spear. Poor Jiang Ban was the domineering Jiang Ban for more than ten years, but once he made a mistake, he died on the battlefield.

As soon as Jiang Ban died, the remaining cavalry in Huainan was even more difficult to support and were soon annihilated by the Wei army. When Wang Ji saw Jiang Ban being executed, he felt relieved and ordered people to carry Jiang Ban's head to surrender Jiang Zhao and Chen Qi's two armies. Chen Qi was originally short of military strength and was surrounded by the Wei army, so he had to use a chariot as a barrier to surround the formation and defend it to death. The Wei army also had many wounded soldiers, which were difficult to attack for a while. Seeing Zeng Lie carrying Jiang Ban's head to surrender, Chen Qi felt a pain in his heart and vomited blood.

"The general is very skilled in martial arts, Zeng Lie admires it. As long as the general is willing to surrender, Zeng Lie will guarantee the general with his life!"

Seeing Zeng Lie persuaded surrender, Chen Qi shook his head and smiled bitterly, and ordered everyone to put down their weapons to surrender to the Wei army. But he walked up to a camp van and held a torch and said to Zeng Lie, "I hope the general will treat my soldiers well, and Qi will die without regrets." After saying that, he ignited the camp van. The van was covered with flammable objects such as sulfur and other flammable objects. The fire rose instantly. Before everyone could rescue him, Chen Qi was buried in the fire. Jiang Zhao on the other side saw his brother's head and was extremely sad. He ignored Zeng Lie's persuasion to surrender and rushed to the battlefield to die.

A fierce battle ended with the victory of the Wei army. The generals looked excited but could not hide their fatigue. Wang Ji immediately ordered the troops to clean the battlefield and return to the camp to station. It was a brigade of troops from Xiang County who arrived, but it was the escorts from various roaming troops in Yuzhou who received the order from Sima Zhao and rushed to support at night, but they did not want to be one step slower.

Liu Chan's question made everyone present frightened. Gao Fen and others stammered and did not dare to speak, and the daughters beside them didn't know how to explain. Liu Chan had a long time ago and was too lazy to speak, so he waved to Li Qiu. Seeing this, Li Qiu ordered the guard to come forward and press everyone out of the palace. Although Gao Fen and others were stupid, they knew that if they pressed out, they would probably move their heads. They didn't dare to continue hiding, so they had to report the truth.

Chen Fu and Xu You were full of confidence before entering the palace. They used Gao Fen and others to send Han Cheng to the palace to put pressure on His Majesty. They entered the palace again and explained to His Majesty some recent problems. His Majesty had no breakthroughs with the two elders, and they were not afraid of His Majesty's reproach, and they brought dozens of ministers into the palace to persuade him. It was perfect.

Unexpectedly, Gao Fen and others were smart and ran outside the palace to wait for Han Cheng. Zhang Jun and the two elders used such a stupid method. But His Majesty called the ministers and the imperial guards to the harem to confront each other despite the etiquette. It was really unexpected.

According to the thoughts of this era, this is simply unimaginable. If a monarch does this, he will definitely be scolded as a tyrant monarch. But Liu Chan is a man a thousand and eight hundred years later, and he has no feudal idea of ​​superiority of men and inferiority of women. Since you are promoting Tai Chi, I will find links that cannot be pushed as a breakthrough.

Liu Chan's idea was very simple and very real. Gao Fen and others were timid and afraid of death, had a simple mind, and confronted their daughter in the harem. How dare they tell lies under the pressure of knives and axes?

"Your Majesty, all the ministers and guards gathered in the harem. If they are not in line with the etiquette, they will be ridiculed by the world. All the dignity of the Han Dynasty will be lost! Please turn to Changle Palace and never be too lazy!" Before Gao Fen could speak, Chen Qi walked out with a quick step and took the lead in the process.

Immediately afterwards, Xu You and twenty or thirty Chen Qi members followed, and knelt down behind Chen Qi and said, "Please go back to Changle Palace!"

The etiquette in the palace is related to, and the one who is most qualified to advise is the two elders of Han Cheng and Zhang Jun. The two elders are experienced and know that if they attack first, they will become Chen Qi's shield, so they are reluctant to do things. Seeing that Chen Qi couldn't help but speak, the two elders then stepped forward and started the report.

"Is it true that I am not in line with etiquette?" Liu Chan turned his head and asked Du Zhen.

"Your Majesty, the harem is forbidden from the court officials and guards. This move is indeed incompatible with etiquette and law, and is contrary to the sacred virtue." Du Zhen replied.

"What should I do if I have something to announce in front of the officials and the concubines in the harem?" Liu Chan continued.

Du Zhen responded quickly and said, "You can let the court officials guard the palace gate and the queen and concubines in the palace, so that your majesty can take care of them."

"Just do it like this!" Liu Chan shook his sleeves and ordered.

Chen Qi and others had no choice but to do so. When everyone changed their positions, Chen Qi frequently looked at Gao Fen and others. Gao Fen's face was extremely ugly, and he must have been fighting in his heart. Chen Qi was angry and had no sense of evil light in his eyes.

"I am going to report to Your Majesty. I deserve to die. I accidentally heard the conversation between the internal servants in the palace and believed it..." Gao Fen saw Chen Qi's eyes with murderous intent, and pushed the matter cleanly. The people following him were already following Gao Fen's horse leader. Seeing that Liang Chenghou said this, they all followed him to learn to speak.

Liu Chan secretly scolded Chen Fu for being cunning, and Gao Fen was scared by himself and was about to shake it out. Chen Fu, with a group of gangsters, interrupted, stared at Gao Fen like a copper bell, allowing Gao Fen to recover and make a statement. In this way, Gao Fen and others were afraid that Chen Fu would be more than he was afraid of himself as the emperor.

Gao Fen had confronted each other like this, and it would be difficult to convict him if he had been entangled. Thinking of this, Liu Chan changed his topic and said: "There will be a shortage of internal military service in the palace for a while. I feel unbearable when I see the hard work of all the concubines. I cannot go back on my word as the emperor. I don't need to mention the matter of recruiting old military service again." Speaking of this, I signaled to Wenli.

Wen Li stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty has an order. From today on, the internal servants in the palace will be re-assigned by the queen. In the harem, except for meals, the remaining daily chores will be completed by the concubines. If anyone is not competent, he will be expelled from the palace and demoted to common people."

"The harem land is divided by the queen. My beloved concubines should take good care of themselves and the area assigned to you." Liu Chan added.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely absolutely impossible!"

Liu Chan looked at him. The person who spoke this time was the two elders of Han Cheng and Zhang Jun. Seeing Liu Chan making such a fool of himself, the two elders did not care about anything else and said he would stop him."

Yang Hu led the defeated army to retreat to Shouchun, and his morale was depressed and depressed. Along the way, many soldiers took the opportunity to leave the team and fled privately. Yang Hu knew that Jiang Ban and the other three were bound to die, and he was upset and had no intention of restraining the troops. As he was moving, a group of people came towards him. Everyone determined that it was Zhuge Dan who came in person. Yang Hu turned over and got off the horse, knelt in front of Zhuge Dan and cried, but he heard Zhuge Dan and others as if he was stunned.

Zhuge Dan was in Shouchun and knew that Wang Ji was the general of Wei Ting, and was afraid that Jiang Ban would not be able to win. He ordered Jiao Yi to lead an army to restrain the Wei army in Xuzhou, and he brought 30,000 troops to support him. Who would have thought that in just two days, the most powerful general Jiang Ban was defeated so thoroughly, so quickly and so tragically.

This failure was like a basin of cold water, which wiped out Zhuge Dan's ambition just ignited. Once Jiang Ban died, he felt as if he had lost his right-hand man. What's even more terrible is that the tens of thousands of people under his command were not as elite as he thought. In a fierce battle, the Wei army was defeated and there were countless deserters. If it lasted for a long time, Shouchun would be defeated without attack. Does the army still want to compete with Sima Zhao for the world? Self-protection is a problem.

After a long time, Zhuge Dan burst out from his teeth: "Retreat!"
