Chapter 10 The Battle of Luzhou

There are unforeseen storms and clouds in the sky, people have good and bad luck, just when people think that the society will go down safely and soundly, Zhu Wen abolished the lord and destroyed the country, established himself as the emperor, and changed the name of the country to Daliang, this shocking and earth-shaking news suddenly spread in Taiyuan City in late April 907 AD, although it was not an earthquake, but the shock was not underestimated, since it was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky shocked all the people. The news of the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info is even more wingless and flying, and it does not take long for it to boil and spread in the streets and alleys. Although there is no restlessness, the crows and magpies are chaotic, and the people are panicked. But it also disturbed people's sleep, unpleasant food, and nervous, not knowing where to change next.

Let's say that Fuju was also shocked in the face of the sudden great change, but it was not surprising, because when he followed Zhu Wen as a soldier, he saw that Zhu Wen had this intention, otherwise, the incident that started would not have happened. Now there is nothing to do about this accomplished thing, but when he saw that Li Keyong, who had a common enmity with Zhu Wen, was called a lonely man in the face of his position, in addition to verbally not admitting it, and only playing the banner of "Kuang Fu Tang Dynasty", he did not raise troops to fight, he was surprised and couldn't help but ask Zhou Dewei why Li Keyong, the king of Jin, did not raise troops to resist Liang. When the two talked and understood that it was because they sent people to unite the old ministers of the Tang Dynasty in various places to jointly crusade against Zhu Wen, but no one responded, and because of their own insufficient troops, they did not dare to take the lead in attacking, their hearts suddenly became clear. "General Zhou, that's the case, what is King Jin's next step?"

"This is being planned. ”

"That Zhu Wen is the most jealous of the King of Jin, as a thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh, a few years ago Shangyuanyi set fire to the King of Jin did not get rid of the King of Jin, now even if the King of Jin does not raise troops against him, then Zhu Wen will not let the King of Jin live so calmly, it is better to prepare in advance and take precautions. ”

The feud of Shangyuanyi, you may not know about this, but this is a few years ago, that is because Li Ke used to chase Huang Chao to make meritorious contributions to the promotion, and Zhu Wen at a banquet, young and vigorous, Li Keyong, who was proud of himself and only twenty-eight, drank some wine, and lectured Zhu Wen disrespectfully in person, then Zhu Wen never expected him to dare to expose his shortcomings in person, and he was annoyed and angry, so he wanted to get rid of him in person, but seeing that the two sides were evenly matched, it was difficult to win. The sinister and cunning Zhu Wen then hid at the banquet, and when Li Keyong returned to the Shangyuan Post House, it was night, and he ordered someone to set fire to the assassination of Li Keyong, since ancient times, there should be a savior, and it happened that there was a violent storm, although hundreds of soldiers were all killed, but Li Keyong escaped and survived, and the two formed a grudge. No one will accept anyone, and no one will accept defeat.

Zhou Dewei is naturally the most clear about the matter of Shangyuanyi, "This should be understood, no, in the past two days, we have been discussing and studying how to deal with Zhu Wen, a capricious person in the twilight of the Qin Dynasty." ”

Time is like an arrow, time is like a shuttle, time flies short and long, and it is the end of May in the blink of an eye, everything is as expected, and before Li Ke, the king of Jin, can come up with a plan on how to deal with Zhu Wen, he has made a move. Zhu Wen sent Baoping Jiedu to make Kang Huaizhen 80,000 Liang troops and Wei Bo's army of more than 20,000 people to recover Luzhou.

It is common sense that soldiers will block and water will cover up. In the face of Zhu Wen's unstoppable attack, the Luzhou guard general Zhaoyi Jiedu made Li Sizhao not to be captured and surrendered, and immediately organized people to stubbornly resist the defense.

That Kang Huaizhen faced the stubborn resistance of Li Sizhao, personally led the army to attack day and night, however, the machine attack was changeable, exhausted a variety of siege methods, and failed to conquer Luzhou City, thinking left and right, helpless, so he surrounded the city on all sides to build a fortress, dug a pond trench, built a trench like a worm, besieged Li Sizhao, so that the city ran out of firewood and food, forced him to survive and surrendered automatically.

After receiving Li Sizhao's urgent request for help from Li Sizhao in Luzhou, Li Keyong immediately sent Zhou Dewei as the commander of the camp, and led Li Siben, Shi Jianjiao, An Yuanxin, Li Siyuan, An Jinquan and other generals to lead troops to reinforce Luzhou.

And said that after Zhou Dewei got the order, he took Fuju to lead the army and set off to the direction of Luzhou, the vanguard army just marched to the boundary of the high river, and met the Liang general Qin Wu to intercept it, and a tearing will defeat the Liang general Qin Wu, with the army in the camp of Yu Wu in the tun to settle down, the next day, Zhou Dewei led the army to fight the battle.

That Kang Huaizhen was angry about Qin Wu's defeat, and when he heard the news of Zhou Dewei's challenge and scolding outside the camp, he immediately stopped fighting, and immediately put on his clothes, leading Xu Congshi, Li Deyu, Han Yanteng and others to line up to fight the battle. And as soon as he arrived in front of the battle, he had no good face, and he was angry and preached Zhou Dewei.

"Zhou Dewei, Lord Liang has been ordered by the heavens to become orthodox, you don't know how to follow the heavens, go against the sky, against the heavens, I really don't know whether to live or die, today you had better bow down to the ministers, and you can also keep the wealth and peace, otherwise, we will definitely throw ourselves and set foot on Taiyuan City. ”

"Phew, a bunch of nonsense, Kang Huaizhen, that Zhu Wen is disobedient, deceiving the heavens and abolishing the Lord, the evil things he has done are difficult to write, and you are helping to abuse, not to mention for the tiger, but also dare to claim that he is obedient to the sky, it is really shameless, today we have gathered volunteers for the heavens, for the country to eliminate harm, you had better repent of it, the precipice to rein in, if you do not understand, willing to do it for the tiger, you will definitely burn the jade, disaster and clan, humiliation of the ancestors. ”

"Okay, you don't know whether you are alive or dead, Zhou Dewei is a good person who is persuaded by this trick, but you don't know the current affairs, you can't recognize the situation clearly, you don't say anything, you can't argue and confront, it's really stubborn, you can't keep it, generals, which one will go to war with me to take him?"

"The last general is willing to go," with a response, Han Yanteng rushed to the front of the battle without waiting for others to react, and fought proudly. "Rebellious thief, who will send him to death?"

"Helping the evil puppet, Hugh is rampant, I will come. Facing Han Yanteng's shouting, his personality was strong, good at fighting and strategic, Li Keyong's godson Li Siben roared angrily, and Pegasus stabbed straight at Han Yanteng with a gun.

Although Han Yanteng is not a famous general, he is not a mediocre person, he can't wait to slash Li Siben with a knife, and in the face of his rush out, he will fight with a sword, and the two of them will be in front of the battle in an instant, betting on each other's ability to live their lives, going back and forth, going back and forth, and fighting like a river and a sea. But seeing the flag covering the sun, the murderous aura covering the sky, a Penglai water slashing dragon, a tiger in front of the mountain, a Kunlun Mountain worshipping the Master, a gossip hearth to the ancestors, a steel knife cutting the top door, an iron gun piercing the heart. only killed the red clouds miserably, and the white mist was dizzying. In the blink of an eye, the two fought for seventy or eighty rounds, and Han Yanteng couldn't kill it, so he turned the horse and left. Li Siben was unwilling to let him go back, so he rushed over, and without waiting for Han Yanteng to react, he picked him off the horse with one shot.

As soon as Zhou Dewei saw it, he immediately marched with drums and waved his army to rush towards Kang Huaizhen.

Kang Huaizhen was shocked, and hurriedly retreated to the camp under the escort of the generals.

Zhou Dewei led the army to the front of the Liang army village, only to have to collect the troops and return because of the rain of arrows. In order to break the Liang army as soon as possible and rescue Luzhou from fire and water, the next day, Zhou Dewei personally led the army to scold and fight against the Liang army.

Nakang Huaizhen was not to be outdone, and immediately sent troops to fight. However, he never expected that not only would he lose a battle, but also his two generals, Huangjiao Ying and Fang Gulun, would also be captured alive. was so frightened that Kang Huaizhen didn't dare to fight anymore, and hurriedly asked Zhu Wen for reinforcements.

Speaking of capricious temperament, Zhu Wen of the Qin Dynasty thought that it would take a few days for Kang Huaizhen to send out of the horse, but he never expected that in just more than 20 days, the good news did not come back, and the letters asking for help were one after another, that angry and annoying, he couldn't express it, and he scolded Kang Huaizhen for being incompetent in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military. When the rice bucket came, he didn't care about the taboo of not being able to change the commander in battle, so he immediately demoted Kang Huaizhen to the Marquis of Yu, and appointed Li Si'an, the assassin of Haozhou, as the commander of the camp in Luzhou, and ordered him to lead the army to reinforcements.

Besides, Zhou Dewei turned a deaf ear in the face of Kang Huaizhen's ignorance, ignored it, and had no choice but to change his tactics and adopt the method of sporadic initiative to attack the Liang army, however, because Kang Huaizhen defended tightly and closed the wall, although he launched a sneak attack on the wall many times regardless of day and night, he failed to break through Kang Huaizhen's defense. Just as they were about to launch a more fierce and fierce attack again, they were taken aback when they heard that the reinforcements Li Si'an had arrived.

It is said that Li Si'an, the word Zhenchen, Henan Chen Liuzhangting people, like boxing, brave and powerful, seven feet long, majestic appearance, good at making a flying lance, that is, a spear, invincible, is a famous general, although he is brave by nature, quite ambitious, but the wisdom is slightly inferior, every time he fights, it is either a big victory, or a big defeat. This time, I came back because of the victory in the attack on Youzhou, so I attacked Luzhou by the way.

Let's say that after Li Siben led 5,000 elite horsemen to leave the camp of Chaoliu, he quietly attacked Li Si'an's Chinese army, and when he saw that Li Si'an was full of arrogance and no one in his eyes, he took advantage of his unpreparedness and launched an attack by surprise and rushed to kill him.

Li Si'an was unprepared, he was caught off guard for a while, and he was embarrassed, and in a panic, he hurriedly commanded his soldiers and horses to block the past. However, before the advance of the army turned back, the line into the front and rear of the attack, like a gust of wind, rushed out of the encirclement, fled, the heart was very angry, as soon as the city of Luzhou, camped and settled, the next day, the vigorous Li Si'an led the army to challenge the Jin army in Yuwu.

Zhou Dewei faced the menacing, strong soldiers, and invincible Li Si'an, who knew well the reason to avoid his sharp spirit and attack his inertia, and decisively made a decisive decision not to confront him head-on, but to resist the powerful attack of the Liang army with a small number of troops, and immediately sent a team of flexible and mobile light cavalry detachments, with the way of returning and returning immediately, and changing places with one shot, harassing and sneak attacking the Liang army.

Li Si'an wanted to use a one-on-one method to have a life-and-death decisive battle with Zhou Dewei, but he never thought that he would face his powerful attack and hang up the battle card, and he, for several days, did not fight a serious battle, but lost a lot of troops, and he was annoyed, hated and angry in his heart, so he had no choice but to take the troops back, and outside the fortifications originally built, another fortification was built, called "Jiazhai" In addition, in order to prevent a sneak attack on the grain convoy, a road was built from the southeast mountain pass to connect with the village, so as to ensure that nothing went wrong.

After Zhou Dewei repelled the powerful attack of the Liang army with stragglers, he took the initiative to attack, and moved earth and stones, filled trenches and blocked trenches with his generals' subordinates, and attacked in turn, making the Liang army restless and sleepless at night. However, although many sneak attacks were launched, the effect was not great, and more than half a year passed in the blink of an eye, because both sides were constantly increasing their troops and sending generals, the war had entered a state of stalemate, and the more they fought, the more difficult it became.

It is said that the protagonist of this book, Fuju, came with the army, made suggestions, since he participated in the battle many times, won the trust and reuse of Zhou Dewei, in the face of this stalemate situation, although he was worried, but there was no good way to break the enemy in his heart, with the fall of heavy snow one after another, the advent of the New Year, because of the war and forget his seven emotions and six desires, he couldn't help but miss his wife. "Congbin, we've been away from home for almost a year, haven't we?"

"Brother Fu, I left in February, and now it's the end of the year, even if it's a year. ”

"In the past year, we haven't even written a letter to our family, and it's really enough. ”

"Brother Fu, this can't be blamed for our laziness, the main thing is that we are fighting now, you just wrote, it is not safe on the road, and no one will send it. ”

"What I'm saying is, when we left, your sister-in-law was already pregnant, and now she may have given birth, and I don't know if it's a man or a woman?"

Zhang Congbin originally didn't want home, but when he mentioned what he missed, he couldn't help but think of home. "Brother Fu, do you want to be a man or a woman?"

"This, I really haven't thought about it, let it be, both men and women, I don't care. Hello, Congbin, are you homesick?"

"This, how can Brother Fu say it, say you don't want to, that's a lie, say it, think about it, but I don't think very much about it in my heart. ”

"It's good not to think about it, otherwise, it's really uncomfortable," Fuju said with feeling, trying his best not to forget about his wife and home, but the thoughts were like a worm, and the more he didn't think about it, the more he thought about it. People miss their relatives during the festive season, and finally on the last day of the year, because they miss the blessing of the eyes that have not closed their eyes for a few days and nights, they can't help it, and this afternoon took advantage of the truce, secretly explained to Zhang Congbin, regardless of the fact that the sky was still snowing, rode a fast horse, pretended to inquire about the enemy's situation, stepped on the thick snow on the ground, and swaggered, and quickly went to the direction of Zezhou.

The words are divided into two ends, not to say from the guest, but to say that the heart of the heart like an arrow after the farewell from the guest, is not afraid of the Liang army, but also regardless of the steep mountain road slippery, cold and dark night, along the way, although the wind and snow, overcoming thorns and thorns, over the mountains and mountains, fell a lot of heels, but since it is non-stop, in the middle of the time, with the cessation of the heavy snow, he has been completely soaked up and down to the home, he endured the excitement, put the horse on the scene in front of the wheat straw, let himself find food, then hurried home to push open the courtyard door, after flying in, as soon as he arrived in front of his original house, he couldn't help but jump out of the heart gently knocked on the door, with a sound"Who?"

"Open the door, lady, I'm back," he replied softly, as if he were afraid of frightening her.

"Is that you? A startled question, "Yes, I'm back." Then the door opened.

"Husband, it's really you, I'm not dreaming!" "Thinking day and day, looking forward to it night and night, Zhang Yufeng, who has been disappointed hundreds of times in the past year, opened the door, and when he saw Fuju standing in front of the door with a smile, he couldn't believe his eyes, and he couldn't believe that he would fall from the sky at this time.

"Lady, it's true, it's not a dream. ”

"It's true!" Zhang Yufeng was pulled by Fuju's hand, and suddenly came to his senses, and was so excited that he immediately pounced, and after a forgetful kiss, he cried with a snort.

"Lady, don't get excited, let's talk about something in the room. Fuju hugged his wife tightly and was very excited, but he couldn't let the tears fly out of his eyes, and hurriedly comforted;

"Yes, yes, yes, come inside, don't freeze. The excited Zhang Yufeng hurriedly wiped away her tears, and the two of them entered the room with a hug, and closed the door.

As soon as Fuju mentioned it, he noticed his clothes, and he immediately understood what was going on when he touched it with his hand, and smiled instantly, "This is not my treasure clothes, but the ice that forms after the clothes are soaked, so they shine brightly." ”

"Then you must be cold, take it off and change it. Zhang Yufeng said and rummaged through the cabinets, looking for the old clothes from before, and as he found out, he immediately helped to take off his clothes.

Fuju took off his wet clothes with the help of his wife, and after changing into dry clothes, he wanted to make love with his wife, but before he could take action, his wife Yufeng pulled him to the bed, pointed to a sleeping child on the bed, and said with tears in his eyes, "Husband, this is your son Fucheng." ”

"My son Fucheng?"

"That's right, didn't you confess before leaving, if you give birth to a daughter, I will name it myself, and if you give birth to a son, it will be called Fucheng. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, how many months?"

"It's been six or seven months. ”

"Can you talk?"

"It's only been six or seven months, and it's not yet. ”

Fuju saw that his son was asleep, leaned over and kissed him, and said apologetically, "Lady, it's really hard for you." ”

"It's nothing," Zhang Yufeng first tucked the quilt for his son, and then hugged and kissed Fuju and went to bed to rest, and suddenly remembered that Fuju had no news this year, and asked strangely and in surprise, "Hey, husband, what have you done this year, why did you come back for the New Year at this time?"

"Well, that's hard to say," Fuju then recounted his experience over the past year and the fact that he had sneaked back from the truce.

Zhang Yufeng was moved in his heart when he heard this, and said with care, "Husband, you must be tired, it's still early in the morning, you can lie down and rest!"

"Lady, to tell you from the heart, when I didn't see you, I really didn't feel tired, and now after you say this, I really feel a little tired. ”

"yes, let's take off and rest for a while!"

The two immediately turned off the lights, hugged each other, kissed and rested. "Husband, in the past year, do you miss me?"

"I think, I think about it day and night, lady, I want to know your beauty, your goodness, no one can replace it in my heart, and if I don't want to, if I don't love you, I can rush back day and night in such a dangerous situation." ”

"Husband, I love you too. ”

After a long drought and a rainy day, the two hugged each other tightly, kissed fiercely, and the two of them were inexhaustible and inexhaustible.

The news of Fuju's return home spread far and wide, less than noon, all the people in the village all knew, the first to come to visit was Zhang Congbin's parents Zhang Chengdao and his wife, their arrival was self-explanatory, naturally to ask Congbin why he did not return with him, in the face of their doubts, Fuju hurriedly handed them the letter written by Zhang Congbin, and impatiently explained and explained the situation after they left home, however, the mother of the child was worried, although he explained the things very clearly, but Zhang Congbin's mother still did not understand, not assured, so that he did a lot of persuasion and comfort, and things were settled。

Time is fleeting, five days, just five days, in the blink of an eye, Fuju husband and wife lingered for five days, he was going to rush back to the barracks, facing the tears constantly, lingering wife, the heart is also inseparable, although the heart is a few days late, but also dare not be emotional, but I am afraid that the time will cause disadvantage to Zhang Congbin, and hurriedly comforted; "Lady, what are you crying about, I will be back soon, as the saying goes, there will be a farewell to send you a thousand miles, and the weather is too cold, don't freeze your son, go home quickly." ”

"Husband, you have to be careful everywhere and take care of yourself. Zhang Yufeng choked with tears in his eyes;

"Lady, we won't be separated for long, as soon as the war is over, I will come back to pick you up. ”

"Husband, we are waiting for you. Zhang Yufeng reluctantly waved goodbye to Fuju, then turned around and went home.

The words were divided into two ends, but after saying that Fuju waved his hand and reluctantly said goodbye to his wife Yufeng, he rode to Luzhou, although the snow had not melted along the way, he seemed to feel that the weather was warmer than when he came back.

The spring breeze was proud, and there was no need to raise the whip to work hard, and after six or seven hours, Fuju arrived at the place where he made an appointment with Zhang Congbin. When he saw that Congbin was already waiting for him in the ice and snow, he was moved, and as soon as he got off the horse, he asked with concern, "Brother Congbin, come so early, it's frozen!"

"It's okay, Brother Fu, this cold is nothing, how are you, everything is fine at home, the way back and forth is smooth, you haven't encountered any trouble with Liang Jun, right?"

"No, everything is fine at home, and your sister-in-law has added a son to me. ”

"Yes, Brother Fu, congratulations. ”

"Thank you, thank you, brother, how is the barracks, nothing happened after I left, right?"

"Nothing happened, except for a few people who asked about your whereabouts, I covered it up on the grounds of having fun during the holidays, nothing else. ”

"That's good," Fuju heard that no one knew, and his heart suddenly relaxed, and the two of them went back to the barracks.

The war in Luzhou is still the same as before, the two sides are still fighting with each other, there is no major change, time is out of the first month into February in a blink of an eye, although there is no major change in the war situation in Luzhou, but a series of big changes have occurred in Taiyuan City, first of all, Li Keyong, the king of Jin, because of military affairs, half a year of unremitting efforts, worry and labor, died of treatment. The second is the fact that his eldest son Li Cunmian succeeded him and ambushed his uncle Li Kening, who plotted a coup d'Γ©tat. Of course, Zhou Dewei, who was in the chaos of all these soldiers, did not know, although he was far away from Taiyuan City and did not participate in anything, but because of the heavy troops, for a while, the gossip spread on the road, which made him very resentful, but he couldn't, in the face of the rumors, Zhou Dewei was about to go back to Taiyuan in person to show his heart, and a bad news came again, that is, Zhu Wen personally led the army to Zezhou City, and replaced Li Si'an with Liu Zhijun as a recruit, and replaced Li Si'an with Fan Junwei, Liu Chongba and the two were the vanguard, Niu Cunjie was to soothe and contain, and when the army had already marched to Changzi County, he was taken aback, and in the face of this sudden military situation, he immediately dispelled the idea of returning to Taiyuan in person, handled the military affairs wholeheartedly, and urgently ordered someone to report to Taiyuan, asking for additional troops to resist Zhu Wen's army. Soon, before a soldier or a general arrived, the order to summon him back came. The loyal Zhou Dewei immediately withdrew all the troops to Taiyuan for no reason.

When Zhu Wen heard the news that Zhou Dewei had retreated without a fight, and when he fled overnight because he was afraid, he was overjoyed, and the reinforcement army immediately stopped moving forward and lost his fighting spirit. Zhu Wen saw that the city of Luzhou could be taken in the near future, so he left Zezhou and returned to Luoyang to wait for the good news.

Let's say that although Li Cunqiao ordered Zhou Dewei's entire army to withdraw to Jinyang, he did not abandon Luzhou, and has been sending people to pay attention to Zhu Wen's movements. The soldiers and horses of Luzhou also thought that everything was fine, and when they were unguarded and did not even send out personnel to reconnoiter everywhere, they were overjoyed, and they gathered their generals overnight to discuss the matter of raising Luzhou and relieving the siege. "Generals, I gathered everyone here tonight to discuss the attack on Luzhou Village, Luzhou has been besieged for almost a year, and there must be little food left, if the siege is not lifted as soon as possible, the consequences do not need me to say, everyone understands, for this reason I want to lead the army to attack the village, what do you think?"

"King Jin, surprise, attack its unpreparedness, this idea is good, but it has prerequisites, otherwise, it is difficult to succeed, our conditions do not seem to be suitable, you must know that Jinyang is more than a day away from Luzhou, this long-distance sneak attack in case of revealing the news, it will be worth the loss. ”

"This, I've thought about it, the Bianren know that I am dead, thinking that I can't be a teacher, and they also think that I am a young heir and don't understand war, otherwise, the Liang people will not be so arrogant and unprepared that they won't even send a scout, aren't these conditions okay. ”

"Of course, these conditions are sufficient, but you must know that long-distance sneak attacks are taboo in the military book, and if there is anything wrong, it will be disadvantageous to the division. ”

"What if something happens, I can't bear the child to trap the wolf, there's nothing to be afraid of, life is gambling, if you don't even have the courage to fight, then how can you survive, okay, don't say anything else, it's time to break the siege and settle the hegemony in this battle, go back and prepare for me." ”

Determined to take all his belongings by surprise, Li Cunmian led his army the next day and set off lightly at the speed of a rapid march. Along the way, non-stop, people do not stop, not a day, the team of horses quietly came to the north of Luzhou Huang Mill boundary. Li Cunmian immediately set up camp in Huang Nian, let the army rest for a while, after eating a full meal, after encouraging mobilization before the army, the next day, he personally led the army to take advantage of the dawn, the morning fog was dark, when the fog was rising, to divide the pro-army under Li Siyuan's general account as a road. Li Cunzhang and Wang Ba were all the way, and Zhou Dewei and Li Cunshen were all the way, and they advanced in three ways, taking them by surprise and launching a fierce attack on the Liang army in the village.

That Liang Jun was in a dream, he didn't expect the Jin army to fall from the sky, and after being awakened by the sound of tearing and killing in the sky, he was so frightened that he panicked, and immediately counterattacked in a hurry. Knives and axes are chopped, fists and hand-to-hand fights are still fierce. But I saw the head rolling, and the blood flowing. However, although the Liang army put up stubborn resistance again and again, due to the haste of doing so, it could not be handy, and all kinds of defenses could not give full play to their best skills, and the troops were not well organized. In the end, it failed to repel the fierce attacks of the Jin army again and again, and as the northeast corner was the first to be breached, the opening became bigger and bigger, and the Liang army finally could not hold it and retreated on the whole line.

The Jin army, which marched in three ways, broke through the village in one fell swoop, pursued the victory, and killed the corpses all over the field, and the blood flowed like a river, relieving the siege of Luzhou.

Let's say that Luzhou Jiedu made Li Sizhao face the Liang army to build a sandwich city for a year, deep ditches and high bases, repeated inside and outside, and even flew out of the way, and the Liang army persuaded to surrender many times, has been appeasing the soldiers, boarding the city and refusing to defend, now when he suddenly saw his own people, but also when the surrendered soldiers surrendered to themselves, until he saw Li Cunmian believed that all this was true, and then let people open the city gate, and welcomed Li Cunmian into Luzhou City. Li Cunmian let the army rest for a while in Luzhou City, and in order to prevent the Liang army from besieging Luzhou with Zezhou as a gathering place, he then sent Zhou Dewei and Li Cunzhang to pursue the victory and lead the army to attack Zezhou.

After Zhou and Li received the order, they randomly led the troops and set off for Zezhou. Facing the city of Zezhou, which had been guarded, Zhou Dewei knew that only outwitting could he succeed, and after careful consideration, he immediately called Fuju over, and after repeated instructions, Fuju randomly took sixty or seventy people including Congbin to change into Liang Jun's clothes and armor, and rode a fast horse to go to Zezhou first.

The Nazezhou garrison also regarded them as if they were still in the village and returned from defeat, so he had no doubt, and after a little interrogation, he let them into Zezhou City.

After Fuju and his entourage easily entered Zezhou, they were overjoyed, and then found a place to live, so that when Zhou Dewei attacked the city, they should break the city together.

It is said that Zhou Dewei led the army to the city of Zezhou in one day, facing the city of Zezhou, which was well guarded and impregnable, and immediately led the army to fight under the city of Zezhou after a short rest. Unexpectedly, the assassin Shi Wang Ban sat firmly in the city tower and ignored it, and did not fight, Zhou Dewei was furious, and immediately ordered the soldiers to insult Wang Banlai.

After the sergeants got the order, they immediately broke out and scolded, starting from Wang Ban and scolding the eight generations all the way, the language was as ugly as it sounded, and Wang Ban was scolded like a bloody dog, and there was no place to describe it.

The assassin Shi Wang Ban was able to endure it at first on the city tower, but later, seeing that the more he scolded, the more he didn't like it, he couldn't bear it anymore, and when he heard a loud voice, "You are really hateful," he angrily raised troops and went down to the pass, ready to go out of the city to fight to the death. Just as he asked people to open the door and go out of the city to tear up, Xu Yanzhang, the general, stepped forward to stop him.

"Lord Wang, don't go out of the city to fight for the sake of momentary anger. ”

"General Xu, why?"

"Lord Wang, this is still Zhou Dewei's plan, if you go out of the city to fight, Zezhou will definitely not be protected. ”

"General Xu, what are you talking about, how can you grow the morale of others and destroy your own prestige. ”

"Lord Wang, this is not to destroy their own prestige, but to tell the truth, our army is newly defeated, the soldiers have no fighting spirit, and that Zhou Dewei is used to using soldiers, according to the current our troops are not able to defeat them at all, only the strong wall does not come out, closed doors do not fight, waiting for reinforcements, otherwise, it will only fail. ”

"But he slandered me there, and it was hard to swallow. ”

"Lord Wang, what's wrong with him scolding you, you don't shed your skin and flesh, what does he do, if you can't listen to it, you won't have to go back to the yamen, out of sight, don't be upset, let him scold, it's fine, you can't lose Zezhou City for the sake of a momentary anger, and ruin your reputation!"

Wang Ban considered it again and again, consciously took care of it, and dismissed the soldiers, but did not come out of the wall, and let them scold him.

Let's say that Zhou Dewei saw that Wang Ban relied on the strong city and the deep trenches, so he confronted it and waited for reinforcements. After discussing with Li Cunzhang and deciding not to give him time to breathe and wait for help, he immediately urged the army to move stones and soil, fill trenches and plug trenches, fly cloud ladders, and attack Zezhou City.

The arrows and stones in the city rained down, and the two sides fought fiercely and often.

Let's say that after Fuju and his entourage heard that Zhou Dewei was attacking the city, it was night, and within three watches, Fuju divided the people into two groups and acted separately. One group had Zhang Congbin take him to the Zezhou Mansion to set fire, and the other group was taken by himself to the city gate to hit the city gate, but said that Fuju had just arrived at the west gate of the city, and before he could get closer, he saw a fire rising into the sky, and then he heard the chaos in the city and shouted. "The Jin army has entered the city, the Jin army has entered the city、、、、、、" He knew that Congbin had already succeeded, and he did not dare to slow down, and in an instant, he rushed towards the gatekeeper of the city gate, and without waiting for them to understand what was going on, he beheaded him with a loud shout, and after killing the other military schools. Immediately he slammed the locks and opened the gates.

Zhou Dewei ordered people to pay attention to the movement of the city gate, and after hearing the news, he immediately commanded the soldiers to rush into the city.

The Wang Banzheng was surprised how the palace could catch fire, and when he heard that the Jin army had broken through the city gate, he was surprised, and at an instant, he did not organize personnel to resist, so that the people who were guarding his wife and children and his family took the belongings that had already been tied, rode on a big horse, and abandoned the city from the south gate and fled for his life.

After Zhou Dewei stormed into the city, he casually ordered the attack to be stopped and the people were calmed down. However, before he could familiarize himself with everything in Zezhou City, he heard that Liu Zhijun, Niu Cunjie, Liu Chongba and other commanders were coming. He knew that this newly attacked city was unfamiliar with the place and it was difficult to defend it, so after discussing with the generals, he randomly withdrew his troops back to Luzhou.

Li Cunmian was overjoyed when he left the division and won a complete victory, and returned to Taiyuan one by one, and rewarded the three armies for meritorious deeds.
