Chapter Twenty-Three: Le Cheng Kills Three Generals
It is said that Gao Yangjun led his troops to commit Zhao and broke through several small cities of Daijun, but he was blocked by Xu Li, the commander of Daijun, and could not achieve greater results. Gao Yangjun can fight well and fight bravely. However, his opponent Xu Li is also a powerful figure.
In order to break the stalemate, Gao Yangjun used a lot of tricks. However, Xu Li just didn't fall for it, and insisted on not coming out. Gao Yangjun couldn't lure Xu Li out of the city to fight, and he couldn't capture the city in front of him. At this moment, he can't advance, and he can't retreat.
After several days of strong attack, Yan Guo lost its troops. However, the city of Zhao is still impregnable. On this day, Gao Yangjun led his army to attack three more times, but they were all repelled by the Zhao army. Gao Yangjun had no choice but to sound the gong to collect the troops, convene the generals, and discuss the military and politics.
At that moment, a scout shouted, "Report." ”
Gao Yangjun shouted: "Come in." ”
The scout stepped forward quickly and said in a loud voice: "Qi Gao Yangjun, Cheng Anjun is here." ”
As soon as the scout's words fell, Cheng Anjun was wearing iron armor, pressing a long sword, followed by five generals, and walked into the camp. Gao Yangjun saw it and stepped forward to greet him: "Cheng Anjun, why are you here." ”
The generals beside Gao Yangjun said in unison: "I've seen Cheng Anjun." ”
Cheng Anjun walked directly to the main seat, turned around, faced Gao Yangjun, and said earnestly: "Gao Yangjun, the king is very dissatisfied with the results of the battle against Zhao. ”
Gao Yangjun heard that Cheng Anjun meant that the king blamed him for attacking Zhao unfavorably, and retorted: "Cheng Anjun, if I am not brave enough to fight, it is really too difficult for the generals of Zhao State." I tried my best to lure him out of the city to fight, but the other party hid in the city and insisted on not going out. ”
Cheng Anjun didn't listen to this set of rhetoric, and said coldly: "Gao Yangjun, what the king wants is to fight Zhao and achieve new results. ”
Gao Yangjun had a headache and said: "If Zhao Guo doesn't fight, I can't help it." ”
Cheng Anjun saw that General Zhao had resisted Gao Yangjun's offensive and was not defeated, and asked, "Who is General Zhao?" ”
"Xu Li."
"I've heard of Xu Li." Cheng Anjun finally figured out why Gao Yangjun had no new progress in fighting Zhao, it turned out that Xu Li was in charge, and said sadly: "Our opponent is him, if you want to achieve new results, it will be difficult." ”
Gao Yangjun asked: "Cheng Anjun came this time to replace me to kill Zhao Hu?" ”
Cheng Anjun said: "The king saw that Gao Yangjun was not good for attacking Zhao, so he increased his troops by 100,000 to help Gao Yangjun take Dai County. ”
Seeing that the king did not let Cheng Anjun replace him, and there were 100,000 new soldiers, Gao Yangjun asked Zhan and said: "Please Cheng Anjun give me three more days, I will definitely break through this city and take Daijun." ”
Cheng Anjun took off the sword hanging from his waist, put it on the desk, sat down, and asked in a low tone: "Gao Yangjun, do you know why the king has increased his troops by 100,000?" ”
Gao Yangjun saw that he took the initiative to ask for battle and did not get an answer from the other party, but instead asked this question, he was stunned for a while, and said blankly: "The last general doesn't know." ”
Seeing that he didn't know about Zhao Guo's change of general, Chang'an Jun sighed: "We have one more opponent. ”
"Who." When Gao Yangjun saw the other party say this, there was a little more sadness between his eyebrows, presumably this person was difficult to deal with.
Cheng Anjun took a breath of cold air and spit it out, "Anping Jun Tiandan." ”
"What did Cheng Anjun say?" Gao Yangjun didn't believe what he heard, and asked, "Our opponent is Anping Jun Tiandan?" ”
"Not bad." When Cheng Anjun saw that he heard the news, he didn't suppress his expression when he heard the news, and said: "Zhao Guo will exchange the land of Jidong for An Pingjun as a general. King Zhao built a high platform to worship An Pingjun as a general, and at this moment, An Pingjun led the army north to help Zhao attack me. A Xu Li is a headache, and there is another An Pingjun. This battle is not easy to fight! ”
When Cheng Anjun saw Gao Yangjun hearing this, not only was he not worried, but he laughed loudly and asked, "Gao Yangjun, what are you laughing at." ”
Gao Yangjun said contemptuously: "Zhao Guoma Fujun led the troops here, I still have concerns. Just An Pingjun, I don't take him seriously. ”
An Pingjun's deeds, how can Cheng Anjun not know. That is the famous general who defeated the Yan State and saved the Great Xia General Qi Kingdom. But the man in front of him looked down on him. Cheng Anjun reminded: "Gao Yangjun can't be careless, that's An Pingjun who broke the Yan and restored Qi." ”
"Cheng Anjun, if I don't look down on An Pingjun, he is not my opponent at all. When An Pingjun met me, he was unlucky. Gao Yangjun said with a smile: "If Anpingjun comes, I will kill him in front of the battle and strengthen my prestige." ”
"An Pingjun and Xu Li are together, how do Gao Yangjun plan to deal with it." Cheng Anjun has also seen this person's bravery, otherwise, as a person who died in the country, how could he be worshiped by King Yan's fief.
"An Pingjun led the army to come, and Xu Li would not hold on and not come out. Here's our chance to break Zhao. Gao Yangjun thought that he would establish a meritorious career, and said loudly: "First behead An Pingjun, then behead Xu Li, break through Daijun, go south to Handan, and establish immortal merits to repay the king's kindness." ”
Cheng Anjun saw that he was too arrogant, and even a little unruly, so he reminded again: "An Pingjun and Xu Li are both veterans of the battlefield, and we must not be careless in this battle." ”
"Don't worry about Anpingjun, the things on the battlefield will be left to me. The last general will definitely kill An Pingjun and Xu Li and break through Daijun. Gao Yangjun raised his voice and said: "The Qin State attacked Zhao and captured the three cities. We also want to conquer Daijun and expand our territory. Yan and Qin fought at the same time, and Zhao was too busy to take care of himself, so there was no reason to be undefeated. ”
Cheng Anjun said: "Gao Yangjun, Zhao State united with Qi State and repelled Qin State. The state of Qin has already withdrawn its troops. ”
"And that's to be expected." Gao Yangjun laughed and said, "The Qin State has always taken advantage of the situation to deal with the princes. Zhao united with Qi, and Qin saw that he could not take advantage of it, so he would withdraw his troops. ”
Cheng Anjun remembered the state of Qin, and through despicable means, defeated the state of Wei and recovered Hexi; Breaking through the Three Jin Dynasty is also the twilight of the Qin Dynasty; Whether it was Zhang Yi who disregarded the country's faith and deceived the Chu State, or Qin Wangji ignored the alliance of the Yellow Thorn Brothers and fell into the well against the Chu State, and finally King Chu Huai killed the Qin State. The state of Chu also suffered a lot under the despicable means of the state of Qin. The state of Qin has always been unscrupulous in order to win victories.
Although the methods of the Qin State made the princes hate. However, the Qin State still bullied Han and Wei, stepped on the capital of Ying, and dug the tomb of the king of Chu. The princes of the Central Plains could not help the Qin State. Today, the Qin State has withdrawn its troops, which is enough to see that the Zhao State is not easy to attack.
Cheng Anjun said cautiously: "We don't have the Qin State to contain the Zhao State, and we can't get cheap from Zhao." While our army is not defeated, it is better to make peace with Zhao Guoyan. ”
"Without Qin to contain Zhao, we would have been able to take Daijun and attack Handan. Cheng Anjun didn't want to defeat Anping Jun in one battle and make a name for himself. Gao Yangjun captured the heart of Cheng Anjun who wanted to make contributions and become famous in the world.
"We still have to be careful." Cheng Anjun was moved by these words, but he has always been cautious and steady. Otherwise, how could he kill King Yanhui, set up a new king, sit in a high hall, and worship the prime minister.
Gao Yangjun saw that the other party was too cautious in using soldiers, and said with a smile: "King Zhao doesn't use horses to serve Jun, but he uses the land of Jidong in exchange for Anping Jun, it's stupid!" King Zhao wants to use An Pingjun alone to attack my Yan Kingdom and settle the northern frontier, so no one cares about deceiving my Yan Kingdom. ”
Cheng Anjun saw that Zhao Guo wanted An Pingjun alone to suppress Yan Guo, but he was indeed deceiving people too much, and said loudly: "King Zhao is arrogant and deceives me Yan Guo." What we have lost, we should also get it back like Zhao Guo. ”
"Report." A scout walked in and said, "Zhao Guo has issued a declaration of war to us. ”
Gao Yangjun snatched the declaration of war, didn't look at it, threw it on the ground, and said angrily: "Please Cheng Anjun give the order to go on the expedition." ”
The generals also took the initiative to ask for their lives.
"The old man was very pleased to see the generals, who shared the same hatred and hatred, and his morale was high. The old man can't extinguish the prestige of our country and grow the ambition of others. How is Zhao will be Xu Li? What if it's An Pingjun? The old man has been fighting all his life, how can he be afraid. Cheng Anjun said loudly: "In the first battle tomorrow, who is willing to take the lead, kill the enemy general, and strengthen my prestige." ”
One person said: "The last general is willing to take the lead, kill General Zhao, and use the power of the army." ”
"Okay." Cheng Anjun saw a tiger general come forward, but he didn't know him, and asked, "Gao Yangjun, who is the surname of this general?" ”
Gao Yangjun said loudly: "His name is Rong Xin, and he is my nephew. With the courage of ten thousand people, the generals are invincible. Cheng Anjun takes him as a general, and in the first battle, he will definitely be able to win and raise the prestige of our army. ”
A general beside Cheng Anjun asked: "Gao Yangjun, the battle formation is not child's play, the first battle is very important, and you can't be sloppy." ”
After hearing this, Rong Xin was indignant and snorted heavily. Gao Yangjun said with a smile: "There is a good saying, a virtuous person does not avoid relatives. My nephew has the courage of a thousand people, and you have seen it. He once led an army alone, cut down Qi, and broke five cities, which was his military exploit. ”
Cheng Anjun smiled and said, "Rong Xin, your opponent is An Pingjun." You can be sure of defeating him. ”
Rong Xin said contemptuously: "An Pingjun is just a clown who jumps off the beam, and when I go to battle, I will definitely use an axe to behead him in front of the battle." ”
"Okay." Cheng Anjun was full of confidence when he saw the other party's boastful talk. Since the other party boasted about Haikou, he also gave Gao Yangjun a face, and praised: "Gao Yangjun has his nephew, who can dare to compare." General Rong, the old man will take you as a general and go to kill An Pingjun and strengthen my prestige. If I break through the Zhao army, I will take Daijun. I will certainly recommend your merits to the king, and I will make you a prince and a general, and it will be just around the corner. ”
"Thank you Cheng Anjun." Rong Xin snorted coldly: "I will definitely use my own axe to kill An Pingjun and make contributions to the country." ”
The next day, just after noon. The armies of Yan and Zhao lined up and fronted. The flag is waving in the wind, covering the sky and the sun. The air around him was suddenly cold and full of murderous aura.
Xu Li said loudly: "Yan and Zhao, since the time of King Yan Zhao, the two countries have been better, and they have not fought for decades. Today, Yan and Zhao continue the good of Qin and Jin. Why did Yan ignore the alliance of Yan and Zhao, as well as the good of the two countries, and send troops to attack me. ”
Cheng Anjun said loudly: "The Yan State was jointly attacked by the Qi State and the Zhongshan State, and King Zhao Wuling supported the King of Yan Zhao to return to Yan from Korea to succeed to the throne, and repelled the Qi people and Zhongshan people with the slogan of counterinsurgency and driving Qi. Yan Guo can have today, and Zhao Guo is indispensable. ”
Xu Li asked: "In this case, why don't you think about the grace of Zhao Guo and raise troops to attack me." ”
Cheng Anjun shouted: "During the reign of King Zhao Wuling, Yan and Zhao have always been friendly. Zhao He ignored the friendship between the two countries, openly tore up the alliance, sent troops to attack me, and also took in the rebel general Le Yi, and sealed the king with land. My king succeeded to the throne, and Zhao He united with Han, Wei, and Chu to attack me. This is the grace of Zhao Guo to Yan Guo. ”
Xu Li also knew that the first king had indeed done a lot of things that were not conducive to the friendship between Yan and Zhao for the benefit of Zhao. Xu Li was not suppressed by the other party's words, and asked rhetorically: "Why did the first king unite Han, Wei, and Chu to attack the Yan Kingdom. How could Cheng Anjun not know. ”
Zhao, Han, Wei, and Chu jointly attacked Yan because An Chengjun killed King Yan Hui and set up a new monarch, and changed his name before the year passed. Xu Li's words made the other party passive. Gao Yangjun saw that he couldn't bargain in words, and shouted: "Since ancient times, the king has been defeated. Zhao can cut down Yan, and Yan can also cut Zhao. An Chengjun, there is no need to talk to him, the battle is superior. ”
Gao Yangjun glanced at Rong Xin beside him, and said coldly, "It's your turn to play." ”
Rong Xin rode a war horse, stepped forward with an axe in his hand, and said provocatively: "An Pingjun, don't come out and die soon." ”
An Pingjun saw that someone was provoking him in front of the battle, and asked, "Who is this reckless man in front of you?" ”
Le Cheng knew the person who called the formation, and replied: "An Pingjun, his name is Rong Xin, and he is Gao Yangjun's nephew. ”
"Oh." An Pingjun asked: "What skills does this person have, he dares to come out and call for battle." ”
Le Cheng said with a smile: "This person is Gao Yangjun's nephew, relying on Gao Yangjun's power, and doing nonsense. Looking at the kings of Qi, this person picked up a bargain and occupied five small cities in the Qi country. Since then, this person has felt that he has the courage to be inappropriate. ”
An Pingjun said: "Oh, that's the case! ”
Xu Li smiled: "There is a kind of deception, that is, deceiving yourself. The generals of the Yan Kingdom, complimenting Gao Yangjun, said a few good words about this person. When this person listened, he really felt that he could do anything. The man was armed with an axe, and he was suspended in the air for less than half a sound, and then he stood on the ground, and from this point of view, he was weak in his arms, and he was arrogant, and he was incompetent. ”
Le Cheng said: "An Pingjun let me teach him a lesson." ”
An Pingjun said: "Then it's hard to work for General Le." ”
Rong Xin called for a little battle, and when he saw that no one was in the Zhao army's camp, he mistakenly thought that the Zhao people were afraid of him, and shouted even more fearlessly: "It is said that the Zhao people can fight well, but I can't see that." Thinking back then, King Zhao Wuling was so majestic that he was not afraid of the princes of the world. How do you know, the generation after King Zhao Wuling is not as good as the generation. Today, he is so depressed that he has to exchange land for generals, and he has to gather people to cut down swallows. Behold! Zhao Guoqi is exhausted, and there are no more boys. ”
"Hugh is going to be rampant, I'll teach you a lesson." Le Cheng stepped forward and shouted: "Shaft, dare to bully me Zhao Guo no one cares?" ”
Rong Xin shouted for a long time, and finally a Zhao general came, and said contemptuously: "Whoever comes, report the name." I don't cut the nameless with this axe. ”
"I'm Lecheng, Zhao Zhi's nobody."
"Lecheng?" Rong Xin knew that the Le clan was not easy to mess with, not to mention that Le Yang cut down Zhongshan, and Le Chi escorted King Yan Zhao back to China. Le Yi and Le Ying's achievements are famous all over the world.
An Chengjun saw that it would be Lecheng and asked: "Gao Yangjun, the Le clan has always been able to fight well, and there are many famous generals. This person, you know. ”
Gao Yangjun said: "This person is a member of the Le clan, who once followed Le Yi to fight Qi and made war exploits. King Yan Hui was suspicious of Le Yi, which led to the dispersion of the army. Lecheng followed Le Yi to the Zhao State and took root in the Zhao Kingdom. I heard that this person was a secretary in Zhao State and had no outstanding military exploits. ”
"The people who can follow Le Yi and fall behind Zhao Guo are not simple. Gao Yangjun, do you want to summon Rong Xin back. When Cheng Anjun saw Le Cheng, it was as if he saw Le Yi, and he did have the character of a general.
"Lecheng has no military exploits, but he is just the secretary of Zhao State. Rong Xin Vaqi and captured the five cities, how could he be afraid of him. Gao Yangjun shouted: "Cheng Anjun, don't worry. He just has a reputation for Le's, so why be afraid. Rong Xin, the time has come to make a contribution. ”
Rong Xin was afraid in his heart, but when he heard Gao Yangjun's words, his confidence suddenly doubled, and he asked, "Is there no one in Zhao Kingdom?" He even sent an old man to die. ”
When Le Cheng saw the erection in front of him, he was ashamed and shouted: "Although I am old, it is more than enough to kill you." ”
Rong Xincai didn't believe that the other party had the ability to kill him, and asked casually: "Le Cheng, do you know Le Yi, Le Jian, Le Ying, the three of them?" ”
Le Cheng said proudly: "Looking at all the princes is the pride of my Le boy." Le Ying and Le Jian are the backbone of my Le boys, how can I not know. ”
"Le Yi and Le Ying led the army to fight together, and their achievements were impressive. Although Le Yi rebelled against Yan and returned to Zhao, my king also treated him well and was named the king of Changguo. You might as well submit to me, fight Zhao together, establish meritorious deeds, after the deed is completed, I will ask for merit for you, and the king will worship the general, just around the corner. ”
"Zhao's kindness to me is difficult to repay. How can I betray the Zhao family for the sake of fame and fortune. Le Jian is the monarch of Yan Guochang, and he and I are our masters. When we meet on the battlefield, we can only divide them. ”
Rong Xin held the axe and threatened: "If you refuse to surrender to me, I can only kill you with an axe." ”
Lecheng said loudly: "A little nonsense, the battle will determine the victory." ”
"Fight, fight, I'm afraid you won't make it." Rong Xin shouted: "Take your life." ”
Le Cheng Lema waved Changge straight to the opponent. The two fought each other in less than three rounds. Le Cheng saw the battle axe in the opponent's hand fall to the ground. Before Rong Xin could react, he was given his life.
"Happy to ride the old man, dare to hurt my father, take your life." The two horsemen shouted out, swords in hand.
Seeing this, Le rode forward, picked up two generals in a row, and stabbed under the horse. In an instant, Le Cheng killed the three generals of Yan State, and when the soldiers of Zhao State saw it, their morale increased greatly, and they cheered in unison.
When An Pingjun saw the first battle, he killed the three generals, his morale was high, he pulled out his long sword, and shouted: "Kill." ”
