Chapter 307 Interpretation of Yan Yan (5)
Jiang Wan, whose courtesy name is Gongyan, was from Xiangxiang, Lingling, and was a famous scholar in Jingxiang.
When he was young, he was studious, extremely smart, with a majestic demeanor and extraordinary demeanor. When he was young, he became famous with his cousin Liu Min for his talent and learning at that time. He was now the secretary of the governor's office of Liu Bei.
When Liu Biao was alive, although he had the rich nine counties of Jingzhou, he did not seek progress. The number of officials in Jingzhou was too few, and many young talents did not take office, but were looking for the wise ruler in his mind, and Jiang Wan was one of them.
Jiang Wan also studied at Lumen Academy and was classmates with Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang, Ma Liang and others. They were very familiar with each other. His age was just between Zhuge Liang and Ma Liang.
After Liu Bei obtained the position of governor of Jingzhou, Jiang Wan, as a student of Lumen, was recommended by Zhuge Liang as the secretary of the governor's office.
Because of his outstanding talent and his ability to help Zhuge Liang handle copywriting, he was highly valued by Zhuge Liang. This time he went to Xichuan, he was entrusted with the important task of taking charge of food, grass and supplies.
Zhang Fei received the military order, as if he was afraid that Zhuge Liang would regret it. He did not stop at all and took the horse and led the army away.
After not seeing Zhuge Liang's team, Zhang Fei couldn't help but burst into laughter.
In fact, Zhuge Liang was afraid that Zhang Fei would not obey the order and would not be able to get out of the stage. Zhang Fei was also afraid that Zhuge Liang would take his personal revenge and let him go without using it.
Although Zhang Fei is rash, even if he makes trouble after drinking, he never makes trouble. He just sometimes gets angry by drinking.
This time when he went to Xichuan, with Zhuge Liang's prudence, it would be difficult for Zhang Fei to seize the opportunity that was beneficial to him. If he had nothing to do, he would really disdain for his master!
Yesterday, when Zhuge Liang sent an order to reorganize the army, he asked Zhang Fei to lead 10,000 troops, Zhao Yun led 5,000 troops, and led 15,000 troops by himself. Zhang Fei's heart suddenly became cold!
Because according to the conventional configuration of troops, the vanguard army generally does not exceed 5,000, and Zhao Yun is obviously the leading vanguard force.
Zhuge Liang led the central army himself, and Zhang Fei's ten thousand troops were the unscrupulous rear army. His main responsibility was to protect the safety of food and supplies, and he called it "Before the army moves, food and grass will go first."
Some things are the more you can’t get, the more precious they feel!
Since Zhang Fei followed Liu Bei, he has been following his two brothers to make soy sauce. Although he suffered a lot, he has been glorious.
The eldest brother Liu Bei has a little stricter requirement for Zhang Fei, but that is a kind of care that is so disappointing that Zhang Fei is also quite moved!
Moreover, he never brought him all kinds of rewards and benefits, and even gave him the best every time. Zhang Fei felt guilty!
But Zhang Fei has only had two chances to be the leader of his family.
In the first year of Jian'an (196), Liu Bei went to Yuan Shu, and Zhang Fei took the initiative to stay in Xuzhou. He got the first opportunity to stand alone in his life, just to prove himself.
Unfortunately, Xuzhou was successfully attacked by Lu Bu on the night that day, which became a major turning point in Zhang Fei's life. Since then, his elder brother Liu Bei has never given him the opportunity to stand alone.
In the fifth year of Jian'an (200), after the three brothers in Taoyuan were disbanded by Cao Cao in Xuzhou, Zhang Fei led his remaining troops to live in Mangdang Mountain.
Due to shortage of food, Zhang Fei went to the ancient city to raise grain. Later, he had to expel the county magistrate and occupied the ancient city. Zhang Fei stole the second chance to stand alone.
He was in charge of military and political affairs. In just half a year in the ancient city, his army grew from hundreds of remnants to a team of thousands of people.
This time, the management of the ancient city was quite successful. Although it was just a trivial small county town, it was the most fulfilling thing for Zhang Fei and the happiest period of his life, which made him unforgettable for his life!
Zhang Fei's success was insignificant in the eyes of Liu Bei and Guan Yu, but he missed it very much. Every time he recalled it, it aroused his desire to be the only one.
It is precisely because of this unexpected success of being the only one side that Zhang Fei has the confidence that with Ma Su's assistance, he dared to challenge Guan Yu and compete for the opportunity to guard Jingzhou.
Although he was not able to do what he wanted in the end, Zhuge Liang actually asked him to lead an army alone to fight, which was also an unexpected surprise!
This is not the last time I followed Liu Bei to fight for the opportunity to capture a city with Zhao Yun, but the fact that I led my troops alone to attack thousands of miles.
On the way Zhang Fei marched, there were dozens of cities of all sizes and big and small. Although there were no heavy troops to guard them, he needed to lead the army to attack them. This was a chance to stand alone, and he was still quite satisfied.
Zhang Fei cherished this opportunity very much and showed his experience in the ancient city. He would personally take care of everything and restrain military discipline wherever he went, but those who surrendered did not violate it.
Zhang Fei made proper arrangements for every surrendered city. The county magistrate kept it in his original position, leaving only one of his confidants, and was in charge of the few defenders.
Zhang Fei took Hanchuan Road and the cities he passed were all small counties, with only a few hundred defenders. In addition, Zhang Fei was famous and famous, so those county magistrates surrendered when they heard the news. No one was blind and dared to gently stroke the tiger's beard.
Soon, Zhang Fei was about to arrive in Bajun County City, and he gave a detailed return:
"Yan Yan Yan, the prefect of Ba County, is a famous general in Shu. Although he is old, his energy has not faded. He is good at drawing hard bows and using a big sword. He has the courage to be unworthy of thousands of men. He already knows that the general is leading troops, but he has no intention of surrendering. Instead, he rectifies his arms and leads thousands of county soldiers, ready to fight. However, he did not go out of the city to fight, but defends the city and blocks the general's important road to Luocheng."
Although Zhang Fei recovered more than a dozen county towns along the way, he did not even have a chance to take action. For such a belligerent general on the battlefield, it was a bit boring.
Hearing that Ba County was too Yan Yan did not surrender and his martial arts skills were very powerful, Zhang Fei was not angry but happy because he was happy when he saw the hunt and wanted to fight Yan Yan.
Zhang Fei asked the army to set up a camp ten miles away from the city, and he pondered alone in the central army tent: "Do you want to send someone to persuade Yan Yan to surrender?"
Because of the war, both sides were doing everything they could to fight against, and the losses were huge, causing the people in the city to be displaced and the people to live in poverty.
Therefore, according to the convention at that time, we especially advocated etiquette before soldiers, so that the people could be spared from war, so that they could be said to be a benevolent and righteous army.
Zhang Fei was afraid that Yan Yan would just act like a man, in order to raise his own value. As long as he sent an envoy to persuade him to surrender, he might immediately offer the city.
Zhang Fei didn't want to lose this hard-won opportunity to fight, but if he didn't send an envoy to persuade him to surrender, it would be unethical, and it would be difficult for his elder brother Liu Bei to explain.
After pondering for a long time, Zhang Fei decided to use the most commonly used method of provoking generals by military advisors and sent people to the city to persuade them to surrender.
But Zhang Fei did not want to leave a handle, so he did not write a letter of persuasion, but called a brave soldier to tell him to convey his original words to Yan Yan:
"Old man, come early to surrender and spare the lives of the people in the city; if you do not surrender, you will step on the city walls and keep the old and young!"
