Chapter 493 The Battle of Yiling (15)
When Meng Da rebels, Liu Bei couldn't stand it.
He also had to treat Shangyong as a letter of fame to Cao Pi, and Liu Bei would definitely not let him succeed.
Immediately, I was going to Yong'an in person, and set up a large army to capture Meng Da, and recover Shangyong County.
Zhuge Liang had no good impression of Meng Da, and he naturally could not let go of the murder of Kuai Qi and this rebel.
As for Liu Feng, Zhuge Liang was quite easy to use, but since Liu Feng was not doing anything well in attacking Shangyongshi and his brother-in-law Kuai Qi was killed, Zhuge Liang immediately pulled him on the blacklist.
Although Liu Feng has received a transfer order to Mianzhu, because Meng Da and the Shen brothers rebel at the same time, and they also blatantly told the envoy that Liu Feng would definitely not be able to take office and could only lead the army to stay in Fangling and wait for Liu Bei's order.
Zhuge Liang finally seized a chance to avenge his brother-in-law with justification, so he naturally would not let the two of them relax. He decided to let Liu Feng and Meng Da fight each other, so he offered advice to Liu Bei:
"Lord, Lu Xun will station heavily in Zigui. The Yong'an army cannot be easily moved, nor does it need to be self-employed. General Liu Feng will be transferred to Mianzhu for the time being. He has eight thousand troops under his command, almost twice that of Meng Da. It is better to send Liu Feng to advance quickly and take Meng Da before Cao's army enters Shangyong. If Liu Feng wins, he will be able to make a loss of his merits. If he loses, he will return to Chengdu. It will not be too late to ask for punishment at that time."
Although it was just a fake, since following Liu Bei in Fancheng, Liu Feng has followed Liu Bei for more than ten years.
At the beginning, the two of them lived together day and night. Liu Feng was very filial, with a kind father and a filial son. He was also very loving to his younger brother Liu Chan, looking like a kind brother and respectful brother.
People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless!
Although Liu Bei was reluctant to hand over his foundation to Liu Feng, he had long regarded him as a close relative.
Moreover, Liu Feng was brave and good at fighting, and was a rare tiger general. Now Guan Yu's subordinates and family resented Liu Feng for not rescuing Guan Yu and demanded justice. Liu Bei was also in a dilemma on how to deal with Liu Feng.
Now Zhuge Liang said that he would give Liu Feng a chance to lose his punishment. Liu Bei was still happy and immediately sent an envoy to Shangyong to instruct Liu Feng to send troops immediately.
Liu Feng was ordered to lead his troops to capture Meng Da.
After Meng Da and the Shen brothers surrendered, Liu Bei's envoy came to convey Liu Feng's order to transfer the appointment.
Meng Da was afraid that Liu Feng would send troops to suppress the rebellion, so he temporarily detained the envoy and kept acting in secret.
Meng Da and the Shen brothers have no less troops than Liu Feng. Under normal circumstances, because Liu Feng is extremely brave, they are not Liu Feng's opponents.
Now that surrendering to Cao's army, there are two different opinions within the army. The morale of the army is not determined. If you fight against Liu Feng, you will have to be defeated quickly.
Meng Da lost Shangyong and fled in a panic, which meant he had no capital, and he probably wouldn't be valued by Cao Pi.
After waiting for several days, Shen Dan reported that Xiahou Shang and Xu Huang's army had arrived in Xicheng, and his own army had settled down. Then he made great efforts and asked the envoy to bring his resignation form back to Chengdu.
Liu Feng was originally waiting for the envoy to bring Meng Da and others to hand over the job, and then went to Mianzhu to take office, but what he was waiting for was news of Meng Da's rebellion.
He was determined to send troops to quell the rebellion, but Liu Feng was afraid that Liu Bei would be unhappy, so he simply stopped moving and waited for military orders.
After Liu Feng received Liu Bei's military order, he led his army to attack Shangyong City.
Xiahou Shang and Xu Huang were already stationed in Xicheng and were about to accept Shangyong. When they heard that Liu Feng led his troops to attack Shangyong, they were going to send troops to resist and sent people to inform Meng Da to advance together.
Meng Da led his troops out of the city and joined forces with Xiahou Shang, and suggested to Xiahou Shang:
"Because Liu Feng and I were in danger of not saving Guan Yu, the King of Hanzhong wanted to punish us, and he could not escape the relationship. He did not need to move troops at first. I will write a letter to talk about the benefits and disadvantages, saying that Liu Feng also came to surrender."
Xiahou still said that he did not keep his troops in motion, but asked Xu Huang and Shen Dan to lead the troops to cut off Liu Feng's retreat, and he himself was ready to fight.
Liu Feng set up a camp fifty miles away from Shangyong City, preparing to attack the city tomorrow, but received a letter from Meng Da.
After reading it, Liu Feng said furiously:
"Meng Da rebelled and misled the righteousness of my uncle and nephew, and wanted to alienate my father and son, so that I could become an unfaithful and unfilial person!" He tore the letter and killed him.
The next day, Liu Feng led his army to the front of Meng Da's army to fight.
Meng Da learned that Liu Feng had to kill the envoy, and was furious and led his troops to fight.
When the two sides faced each other, Liu Feng immediately stood under the door. He pointed at Meng Da with a knife and cursed:
"How dare you speak out in a rebel against the country!"
Meng Da had no psychological burden for defection, so he laughed and said to Liu Feng:
"You are dead and you are still obsessed with it!"
Liu Feng was furious, slapped the horse's wheel and headed straight for Meng Da.
Although Meng Da was both civil and military, his true martial arts were only second-rate.
Liu Feng is extremely brave and has always been similar to Guan Ping's martial arts. His progress in recent years has not been as great as Guan Ping, but it is not something Meng Da can resist!
Meng Da came to greet him with a spear, and the two horses intersected, but the battle was not combined. Meng Da could not resist and was defeated and left.
Liu Feng took advantage of the situation and chased after more than twenty miles, and was about to chase the city.
With a shout, all the ambush came out, Xiahou Shang led his army to fight, Meng Da turned around and fought, attacking on both sides.
Liu Feng was caught off guard. Seeing the enemy troops all over the mountains, Liu Feng's subordinates were all terrified and turned around and fled.
Liu Feng led his troops to break through the encirclement, was defeated and ran back to Fangling station overnight.
Xiahou Shang behind him, who was determined to be determined but not interested, had already been sure to win. He led his troops slowly and then rushed over. Liu Feng arrived at the city he guarded, called the gate under the city, and shot arrows from the city.
It turned out that it was Shen Dan's brother who led Xu Huang to attack the city, leaving Liu Feng without a foothold.
Liu Feng was furious and took the lead and was about to lead his army to attack the city.
The pursuit army behind Xiahou Shang was approaching, and Liu Feng could not stand the ground and had to lead the remaining defeated soldiers and leave in Xichuan.
Xu Huang took advantage of the situation to lead the army to chase and kill him. Liu Feng fought and retreated, and the remaining soldiers were fewer and fewer.
Fortunately, the mountain road was rugged and Xu Huang's cavalry could not run. Only then did Liu Feng get rid of the pursuit, leaving only more than a hundred cavalry left, and did not dare to take up his post in Mianzhu. He went straight back to Chengdu to apologize to his father.
Liu Feng came to see Liu Bei alone, cried and bowed to the ground, and reported the past in detail.
Liu Bei said angrily:
"When you see your uncle trapped and not rescued, what is the face of an unfilial son coming to see me again!"
Liu Feng defended:
"The uncle's trouble is not saved, but because Meng Da dissuades him."
Liu Bei became even more angry and cursed:
"You must eat human food and wear human clothes, not a pirate puppet person. I have no idea if I give you the important task of Shangyong to you? Why should I listen to Meng Da's dissuasion? Now the Guan family and the Zhang family have a deep hatred for you. What should you do if you ask me to do?"
Liu Feng has a strong temperament. After his friend Guan Ping died, he felt very guilty. When he heard Liu Bei’s embarrassment, he blurted out:
"Don't make things difficult for my father, I should commit suicide and apologize!" After saying that, Heng Jjian committed suicide and died.
