Chapter Nine hundred and fortieth second is better than beheading him
Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong's Western Expedition, Zhuge Liang's Southern Expedition, Guan Yu, and Lantian's family entered Beijing. During this period, the Han army's external rhythm slowed down. In addition to stabilizing the recovered basic foundation, it also rushed to eliminate the remaining enemies around Luoyang.
At the end of March, several armies of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao and others crossed the Yellow River and besieged the remaining soldiers of the Wei State in Hanoi County.
At that time, Zhu Lingdeng was stationed in Huai County, and Zhang He retreated from Luoyang and did not dare to return to Yecheng directly. He then stationed in Wude, who was east of Huai County, and thought that the momentum was not good and convenient to retreat.
The Grand Sima and General Guan Yu originally wanted to deal with Zhang He himself, but before the war, Zhang Fei volunteered to deal with Zhang He with experience, so he handed over Wude to Zhang Fei and Ma Chao for a guide.
The Jingzhou army crossed the river from Wushejin. Pang De led his army to capture Wenxian, Heyang, Boxian and other cities. Guan Ping led his army to capture Pinggao, Zhouxian, Yewang, Lan Ji to capture Yongcheng, Shanyang and other external cities. Guan Yu personally led his headquarters to besiege Zhu Ling in Huaixian, and Zhang Fei and Ma Chao crossed the river from Huchengting to attack Wude.
Zhang Fei successfully crossed the river and reached the north bank of the Yellow River. Half of his troops were divided into Ma Chao and blocked the Qinshui south of Wude to prevent Zhang He from escaping from the water to the lower reaches of the Yellow River. Zhang Fei led his troops to take Xiuwu and Huo Jia, completely blocking the land route Zhang He fled back to Yecheng.
Last year, the Han army launched a full-scale attack, capturing Huainan, Nanyang, Yingchuan, Chenliu and Luoyang, forming a situation of one thing and another decline with the Wei State. The soldiers and civilians of Hanoi County on the other side of Luoyang were trembling, and many people were waiting for an opportunity to return to the Han Dynasty. Except for Huai County where the Wei army gathered, the two cities of Wude, the other counties surrendered after hearing the news.
When Zhu Ling was defending Huai County, he was hit by a Han army and shot and fell into the city and died. The defenders in the city immediately surrendered to Guan Yu. Zhang He, who was Wude, knew that Wude could not defend, so he slightly resisted Ma Chao and was ready to escape for two days. Unfortunately, all the ships docked in Qinshui were confiscated, so he could only be forced to escape from land to Yecheng in the evening.
After Ma Chao discovered it, he left two thousand people to take over Wude, and then led his troops to chase Zhang He relentlessly.
In two days, in order to get rid of Ma Chao in the rear, Zhang He lost more than half of his troops. When he fled to Huojia to prepare for supplies, there were only three thousand remaining soldiers who were trapped in the trap.
"Zhang He, didn't expect it? I've already set up a net of heaven and earth in Huo Jia. I'll see how you run this time, hahaha." The gate of Huo Jia opened, and what caught Zhang He's eyes was his nightmare Zhang Fei.
The demonic laughter made Zhang He frightened. He turned around and walked away in a hurry. Because Zhang He pulled the reins too hard, the horse slipped its front hooves at the moment of turning around, and fell heavily in front of the city gate with his people and horses. Zhang Fei shook his head and sighed when he saw this.
Because Zhang He was not young, his right leg was broken by a war horse when he fell down, and he fainted on the spot. Zhang Fei did not finish the fight on the spot, but was preparing to take his hair to Chang'an.
Cao Pi moved the capital to Yecheng, and the morale of Wei State was depressed. Hearing that Guan Yu might threaten Hebei, he realized that Cao Pi had no generals around him at that time, so he asked Wu Zhi, a close confidant guarding Jizhou, to lead the army south to pick up Zhang He and Zhu Ling.
Wu Zhi had a strong temper and weak ability. When he led his army to the vicinity of Chaoge, he learned that the enemy general Zhang Fei was in Huojia, so he did not dare to continue to go south to support him. At this point, the Hanoi city west of Huojia fell into the control of the Han army.
In addition, Lan Ji took Liu Xie back in Shanyang under the order of Guan Yu, and prepared to take him back to Chang'an to fulfill his mission.
When Liu Xie saw Lan Ji's outfit, he almost thought that Lu Bu was resurrected from the dead and remembered the old times he had been controlled by Dong Zhuo, so he cooperated very well with Lan Ji.
Guan Yu stayed in Guanping to guard Luoyang, and Liu Mengda stayed in Henei to defend Hebei, and arranged a large army to rest and recuperate around Luoyang. Then he took Liu Xie and Zhang He to Chang'an to meet the saint.
Zhang He woke up and lay on a wooden cart. His legs were broken, his head was tilted, and his eyes were slanted by the military doctor. Zhang Fei was unwilling to kill him again after seeing it.
At the end of April, when Liu Xie, in front of all civil and military officials, "exposed" the fact that Cao Pi forced usurp the throne, and "confirmed" the fact that he issued an edict to abdicate to his uncle Liu Bei. Then he went to the ancestral temple to worship Liu Bang and other ancestors, filling the last legal gap in Liu Bei's proclaimed emperor.
The Shanyang Duke who was usurped by Cao Pi did not count. After the process was over, Liu Bei changed Liu Xie to King Juan (the fief of Juan County), allowing him to live in the capital with his family to enjoy his old age.
When Liu Bei saw that he had recovered the old capital Luoyang, he took back the rebirth king Liu Xie to complete the regret. When Long Xin was very happy, he changed the year name to Yan Yao, which means that Yan Han once again shines brilliantly.
In early May, important figures from the northwest and southwest routes went to Beijing, and the governor of Jingzhou Xu Shu was also recalled.
Then there were the enthronement of the queen, the wedding of the prince Liu Chan, and Lan Ji married Guan Yinping, and other things. Chang'an City lasted for nearly a month.
Liu Bei's veterans gathered in Chang'an so neatly for the first time. Looking at the old faces in the palace who fought against him, most of them were already gray-bearded and their faces were full of vicissitudes. Tears were inexplicably rolled up in their eyes.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Prime Minister Zhuge Liang stood closest and asked with curiosity on his face.
Liu Bei waved his hand gently: "Time flies so fast. I have only enjoyed a month of happy gatherings. Soon you will lead your army to fight again. I really can't bear to leave you."
"Your Majesty, Cao Pi is only left in Hebei. When the generals recover the rivers and mountains of the Han Dynasty, they will be able to stay in the capital for a long time, so you don't have to be sad." Zhuge Liang advised.
"I can't bear it when everyone is old." Liu Bei shook his head gently.
"Your Majesty, don't say that. The age of the general should be the oldest in the palace. He was fighting in Hexi a few months ago. The age is not a problem at all. As long as the fighting spirit in his heart is immortal, he will always be young. If you don't believe me, please ask General Zilong." Huang Zhong was the first to be dissatisfied when he heard the word "Old".
Liu Bei smiled slightly, "General Huang's bravery remains the same back then. I have had too many things these days and I almost forgot to give it to you."
"Gift?" Huang Zhong looked confused.
After a while, several Chen Dao Bai Li Guards carried Zhang He, who was hemiplegic, to the hall. Because of his crooked mouth and slanted eyes and extremely poor complexion, Huang Zhong almost didn't recognize him.
"This is."
"I know that you have a deep friendship with General Yan. You have always wanted to catch this person and take revenge. A few days ago, Yide captured Zhang He in Hanoi, and now he will be given the old general to kill and cut him."
Huang Zhong looked down and looked at the other party's miserable appearance. He stood up and shook his head and replied: "The old minister thinks that Zhang He's appearance is actually more relieved than beheading him. I don't know what to do with it."
"Then this." Liu Bei frowned.
Zhuge Liang offered a suggestion and said, "Zhang He is a general of Wei. Since the old general Huang is unwilling to kill him, why not send someone back to Hebei? Cao Pi may be angry to death when he sees him."
"The Prime Minister's words are reasonable." Liu Bei nodded slightly.
After the morning and morning discussions ended, ten people from Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Fa Zheng, Xu Shu, and Lantian were left behind.
Just as everyone was looking at each other, only Lantian seemed to understand something.
