Chapter 26 Kezhongyang, Wai Yan Xiadu
Wuyuan, located on the border of Yan and Zhao, is an important town of Yan, and it is also the frontier position of Yan to march into the Central Plains and attack Zhao. Wuyuan, Linyi, and Zhongyang, these three important towns have become horns and can help each other. However, Fu Bao and the others were caught off guard by Xu Li and lost Wuyuan.
Xu Li persuaded Yan General Fu Bao and others to break through Wuyuan with the least sacrifice. Xu Li treated the generals without suspicion, and treated them as guests. Xu Li asked, "Who is the Linyi guard?" ”
Fu Bao was deeply moved when he saw that Xu Li was not humiliated because he was a general, and told the truth: "The Linyi guard is Yan Yun. He is after Yan Zhou. ”
"Yan Zhou's bravery, I have heard of it. His father, but he followed Qin Kai to cut down Donghu and expand the land for thousands of miles. After Xu Li saw that Yan Yun was a fierce general, it was not appropriate to take a strong attack, and asked: "How is the relationship between General Fu and Yan Yun?" ”
"After he was a famous general, he could have been in a high position and a prominent position. Who knew that King Yanhui was killed and a new king was set up. Yan Yun was suspicious, excluded and suppressed by the new king. Fu Bao remembered what happened to Yan Yun and himself, and sighed with emotion, and said sadly: "We are located in the place where the two countries meet, and we have a very good relationship with each other. ”
When Xu Li heard this, he had a plan and asked, "Can General Fu help me take Linyi." ”
"I have sent you down, and I should help you take Linyi. However, my injuries have not healed, and my heart is weak. Fu Bao said again: "Su Shot, Wang Rong, you two help the old general Xu to capture Linyi." ”
Su Shu and Wang Rong commanded: "Oh." ”
At that moment, Xu Li asked the deputy general Zhao Jun, leaving 3,000 people to garrison Wuyuan, leading other soldiers and horses to march quickly, and let Su Jie, Wang Rong and others lead the way to Linyi.
Su Shot waited for the Yan army to come to the city and shouted to the city, "General Yan, I am Su Shot under General Fu, open the city gate quickly." ”
The Linyi guard Yan Yun and Fu Bao are better, and naturally they also know Su Jie, standing upstairs, and asked condescendingly: "General Su, why did you come here." ”
Su Jie raised his voice: "Cheng Anjun asked me to lead the army to support General Yan, and we will surprise the army to cut off the return route of the Zhao army and disrupt the heart of the Zhao army." We will be able to defeat An Pingjun in one battle and make immortal achievements. ”
Because the night was too dark and Yan Yun received Cheng Anjun's letter, he opened the city gate without noticing. Yan Yun personally went out of the city to greet Su Jie and the others, but saw that the atmosphere was strange. When he reacted, he had already been shot down by Xu Ji.
The Zhao army took advantage of the situation and rushed into the city, and Linyi was broken.
Xu Ji walked in with Yan Yun in tow, only to see Yan Yun looking at Su Jie and the others with angry eyes, and asked, "King Yan treats me and others well, why do you rebel." ”
One said: "We are the heroes of King Yanzhao's war, and they are also reused by King Yanhui." Cheng Anjun killed King Yanhui and set up a new king. We were also excluded and suppressed by Cheng Anjun, and were sent to the border of Yan and Zhao. General Yan, why do you say we are descending? ”
"You guys?" Yan Yun shouted: "This is a matter of the royal family, how can we have the final say." Cheng Anjun seized power and suppressed you. However, the king still handed over such an important place as Wuyuan to you. Is this how you repay the king? ”
Another humanitarian: "Cheng Anjun instigated the king to attack Zhao, which was an unjust war. ”
"Where is Fu Bao, ask him to come to me." Yan Yun said in a loud voice: "I want to ask him what his loyalty is." ”
Su said: "General Yan, the one who knows the times is Junjie." Now, we are gone, surrender! ”
"Hahaha, I'm not afraid of death." Yan Yun said proudly: "How can I descend." ”
Xu Li saw that the general in front of him was arrogant, and he couldn't persuade him to surrender no matter what, so he walked towards him with a long sword and asked, "You are not afraid of death." ”
Yan Yun saw that he had lost Linyi, and he had no face to live, so he said stiffly: "If you want to kill, kill it, why talk nonsense." ”
"Well, I admire you as a man." Xu Li saw that the other party was unwilling to surrender, and he couldn't bear to kill him, "I'll fulfill you." ”
Xu Li swung his sword to cut the rope tied to Yan Yun's body and withdrew the long sword into its scabbard. Yan Yun thought that he was going to die, closed his eyes, and was ready. He didn't see the sword swinging, he didn't hear the sound of blood splattering three feet, but he felt the rope tied to his body loosen, opened his eyes and asked, "Why don't you kill me?" ”
Xu Li Zhengse said: "I said, I admire you as a man." ”
"You?" Yan Yun didn't know what to say. However, their family is deeply favored by the king, how can they rebel against him.
"General Yan, if you want to go, let's go!" Xu Li said sharply: "On another day, we will meet on the battlefield." ”
In other words, Gao Yangjun stood on the city tower, and an open flame rose into the air on the left, and he knew that it was Wuyuan's reinforcements who dared to arrive. I saw an open flame rising into the air on the right, and I knew that the reinforcements from Linyi had arrived. Gao Yangjun saw the two open flames rising into the air, and said with great joy: "Cheng Anjun, this is the signal sent to us by Wuyuan Fu Bao and Linyi Yanyun, and Po Zhao is tonight." ”
Cheng Anjun saw that Zhao's plan was going smoothly, and clapped his hands and said, "Okay." ”
Gao Yangjun pulled out the big bow, and an open flame rose into the air, and ordered someone to raise the city to set fire. A little, in the position of the Zhao army, the open flames flashed, and the shouts of killing filled the sky. Gao Yangjun saw that the military camp of Zhao State was in chaos, and the flames were soaring to the sky, shouting and killing, and shouted: "Cheng Anjun, give the order to go to war!" ”
Cheng Anjun walked down the city tower, boarded the chariot, drew his long sword, and shouted, "Open the city gate." ”
The gate of Zhongyang City was opened, Cheng Anjun and Gao Yangjun left 1,000 soldiers to defend the city, and the rest of the soldiers rushed to the Zhao State military camp. Cheng Anjun effortlessly, as if entering a no-man's land, he broke through the Zhao army camp and entered the center of the camp. Cheng Anjun saw that there was a big tent in front of him, which was used by the general, so he commanded the army to rush into the big tent of the commander of the Zhao army, but there was no one to see, and asked, "Where is the Zhao army?" ”
The scout who went to investigate came back and reported: "Cheng Anjun, there is no trace of Zhao Jun in the barracks. ”
Gao Yangjun saw that the surroundings were a little terrifyingly quiet, and there seemed to be a hand stretched out towards him in the darkness, making him unable to kick him, and asked, "What's going on." Fu Bao and Yan Yun and I agreed on a time to attack. We also saw the Zhao army's camp on the city tower, with flames and shouts of killing. Why, not a single person is missing. ”
Another scout shouted: "Cheng Anjun, the camp is full of firewood and straw." ”
In a brief moment, Cheng Anjun had a sharp intuition, caught the danger signal, rushed out of the camp, and shouted, "It's not good. We've been tricked. ”
At this moment, thousands of rockets were fired, and the fire spread rapidly. The Yan army's formations were disorganized, trampling on each other, and wailing.
Cheng Anjun didn't want to sit still, waved his long sword, and shouted, "Rush out for me." ”
With Cheng Anjun's order, Yan Guo's iron cavalry broke through the sea of fire and came to the gate of the camp, but saw that the fire here was more ferocious and the arrow rain was more intensive. Seeing this, Cheng Anjun said coldly: "Could it be that this place is where I am buried." ”
Suddenly, an arrow shot over, hitting Cheng Anjun. Cheng Anjun fell off his horse with an arrow, and when the generals around him saw it, he shouted on one side, and dismounted on the other side to support him. Cheng Anjun watched the fire spread, and it was difficult to get out, and shouted: "It's over, we lost." ”
"Cheng Anjun, let's rush out." After Gao Yangjun finished speaking, he bravely moved forward regardless of the rain of arrows. Gao Yangjun is worthy of being a brave person, leading the strong team around him, rampage, and covering Cheng Anjun to break out of the encirclement.
After a bloody battle, Cheng Anjun stood out from the encirclement, and when he saw that there were few soldiers left around him, he cried: "Old man, how could there have been such a fiasco in the battle for a lifetime." ”
Gao Yangjun fought the one hand, and shouted on the other side: "Cheng Anjun, let's go quickly." ”
Cheng Anjun saw that the main road was blocked by the Zhao army, and the soldiers around him fled in all directions, so he could only lead his henchmen and less than 5,000 soldiers to fight to the death, seize the small road and flee, and run to Zhongyang. As soon as Cheng Anjun arrived at the city, an open fire rose on the city tower, and a Zhao character was written on the bright banner. The arrows on the tower of the castle shot down like a storm.
Anping Jun Tianshan stood on the city tower and shouted: "Gongsun Lao'er, I have taken Zhongyang. You don't come down to me quickly. ”
It turned out that Xu Li had broken through Wuyuan, and on the one hand, he divided his troops to capture Linyi, and on the other hand, he sent someone to tell An Pingjun about his plan. An Pingjun drummed up the momentum and asked Le Cheng to lead an army, pretending to be Wuyuan reinforcements to attack the Zhao army's position from the left; He also asked another general, Li Su, to pretend to be Linyi reinforcements to attack the Zhao army's position from the right.
When Anpingjun saw the sky above Zhongyang, the open flame was rising into the sky, and he saw the gate of Zhongyang open, Cheng Anjun and Gaoyangjun personally led the army and killed out of the city. An Pingjun led an army of 20,000 accompanied by reinforcements from Chengwuyuan and Linyi, taking advantage of the emptiness of the garrison of Zhongyang City, deceived the city gate and broke through Zhongyang. By the time Cheng Anjun and Gao Yangjun fought fiercely at night and fled back from the Zhao army's position, Zhongyang City had already fallen into the hands of An Pingjun.
Cheng Anjun saw that Zhongyang had been lost, and the generals and troops around him could not recapture Zhongyang, so he led the army to flee to the left.
"Gongsun Lao'er, take your life." An army came from the left, and the person at the head was none other than Lecheng.
One person shouted: "Cheng Anjun go quickly, I'll cut off." ”
Cheng Anjun saw the enemy army on the left attacking, so he led the remnants of the army and fled to the right. At this time, I saw an army coming from the right, and the person who was the leader was Xu Li.
"Cheng Anjun, let's fight our way out of the encirclement." Gao Yangjun led the army and rushed over.
After a bloody battle, Cheng Anjun finally escaped death under the cover of the generals. Cheng Anjun looked at the generals around him, all of them were seriously injured and their battle armor was broken.
Cheng Anjun was not yet frightened, and suddenly heard that the Zhao army dared to pursue the soldiers. The Zhao army surrounded Cheng Anjun and others and fought at close range. The soldiers around Cheng Anjun became less and less fought, and there were only 100 people left, and they were no longer able to fight, and shouted sadly: "My life is over." ”
At this time, a person came to meet him and shouted: "Cheng Anjun, the last general Yanyun, come to help." It turned out that Xu Li saw that Yan Yun was a man, so he let him go. Yan Yun escaped from Linyi, collected 2,000 remnants of soldiers, and rushed to Zhongyang under the stars. On the way, he saw the flames in the direction of Zhongyang, and the shouts of killing were everywhere. Soon, he got the news from the scout, that is, Cheng Anjun and Gao Yangjun were in the scheme, and Zhongyang was lost.
When Yan Yun heard the news, it was like a bolt from the blue. Seeing that Zhongyang had been lost, and it was meaningless to go to the rescue, the generals advised him to give up rushing to help Zhongyang and save his troops. Yan Yun knew what the road to go represented was, but he still insisted and led the army forward.
Cheng Anjun saw that Yan Yun led the army to come to help, and when he saw that there was vitality, he said happily: "The sky will not stop me." ”
In an instant, Yanyun's reinforcements dared to arrive. Yan Yun repelled Zhao Guo's pursuers, and asked for guilt: "The last general is late for rescue, and I also ask Cheng Anjun to surrender." ”
Cheng Anjun said: "General Yan, thanks to you, otherwise, my life will be rested." ”
Yan Yun saw that the soldiers around Cheng Anjun were full of blood, their battle armor was broken, and there were less than fifty people left, and there was no trace of Gao Yangjun and others, so he asked, "Cheng Anjun, where is Gao Yangjun." ”
Cheng Anjun said bitterly: "We originally wanted to unite Wuyuan and Linyi to reinforce the army, surprise the army, and break Zhao in a battle." Who would have known that he fell into Zhao Guo's plan and ended up in such a big defeat. Tens of thousands of soldiers are gone in a blink of an eye. Gao Yangjun and I also got separated. ”
Yan Yun didn't expect Cheng Anjun and Gao Yangjun to fall into such a fiasco, and still boosted morale and said: "Cheng Anjun, don't be discouraged, what we lost will be recovered sooner or later." ”
After this battle, Cheng Anjun's confidence was greatly reduced, how could he have the courage to get back what he had lost.
Yan Yun asked again: "Cheng Anjun, what should we do next?" ”
Cheng Anjun glanced in the direction of Zhongyang, and said bitterly: "Zhongyang has been lost, for the sake of today's plan, in order to avoid further deterioration of the war, we can only rely on Wuyuan and Linyi to block the Zhao army." ”
Yan Yun couldn't bear to say: "Cheng Anjun, Wuyuan, Linyi, have been lost." ”
"What did you say?" Cheng Anjun asked, "How could Wuyuan and Linyi be lost." ”
At that moment, Yan Yun said what he knew concisely. Cheng Anjun originally wanted to use Wuyuan and Linyi to intercept the Zhao army, but he never thought that Wuyuan and Linyi would also be lost.
Seeing that the general trend had gone, Cheng Anjun could not stop the offensive of the Zhao army and the deterioration of the battlefield situation, and exclaimed sadly: "It's over, our army is defeated." ”
Yan Yun saw that Cheng Anjun did not have the prestige and decisiveness of the past at all, and suggested: "Cheng Anjun, we might as well go to Yanxiadu." ”
Suddenly, there was a shout of killing. Cheng Anjun was heartbroken, and hurriedly said: "Let's go, go to Yanxiadu." ”
"Soldiers, come with me." Yan Yun shouted: "Escort Cheng Anjun to Yanxiadu." ”
As the sky grew brighter, day replaced night. Le Cheng and Xu Li joined forces and entered Zhongyang City after counting the battlefield. In this battle, Zhao won a complete victory, breaking through the three important cities of Wuyuan, Linyi and Zhongyang, and confiscating countless grains and grasses, soldiers, and armor, as well as 10,000 troops and tens of thousands of people from the Yan State. Xu Li and Le Cheng saw the defeat of the Yan Kingdom, and their vitality was greatly damaged, so they took advantage of the victory to pursue.
When the news of Zhao Guo's defeat of Cheng Anjun and Gao Yangjun spread everywhere. Some of the surrounding towns surrendered without a fight, and some fled from the wind. Xu Li and Le Cheng led the army, the soldiers were bloodless, and the soldiers surrounded Yanxiadu.
