In January 227, when Sima Yi led an expedition to Liaodong, Han Xuan sent thousands of troops to Tuntian, Jiangbei. In August of this year, Wei Jiangman believed that it was the harvest season, and men, women, and children were all over the fields. And the soldiers of Han Xuan's subordinates were hundreds of miles away from the city, so they could take advantage of their unpreparedness and attack suddenly.

Man Zhong then sent his commander to lead his troops down the east of the river, destroyed the various cantonment camps, burned a lot of grain, and then withdrew. Cao Rui issued an edict to reward the full favor, and at the same time rewarded all the potatoes and corn he had obtained to the soldiers.

Who knew that the soldiers of the Wei army did not know, and many people mistakenly ate green-skinned and sprouted potatoes, vomited and died of poisoning. Man Chong immediately reported the situation to Cao Rui, and Cao Rui was surprised: "Why can the enemy eat this?" ”

"Could it be that Han Xuan and Liu Du are both demons? But why was it possible for the sergeant to eat this monster as well? "The Wei State and the Manchu Dynasty are all confused.

The previous gunpowder had already caused the Wei army to suffer a big loss, and now Han Xuan and Liu Du had potatoes and other crops, and the grain was even more than that of Wei. The only thing that Wei could have the advantage was the cavalry.

Previously, Cao Wei sent many spies to Han Xuan and Liu Du to steal the gunpowder formula, but the gunpowder workshop was heavily guarded, and the spies could not obtain useful information at all.

Just when Cao Rui and others were distressed, they suddenly reported that Cao Xiu, the governor of Yangzhou Sima, said that Jiangdong Poyang was too guarded by Zhou Doi, and was willing to surrender to Poyang County, and secretly sent people to say seven things that could subvert the new Han Dynasty, and Han Xuan and Liu Du were both in Wuchang at this time, so they could be captured in one fell swoop, and hoped that the Lord of Wei would send troops to take them as soon as possible.

Cao Rui unfolded it on the royal bed and watched it with Liu Fang and Sun Zi.

Sun Zi said: "This statement is very reasonable, Chu should be destroyed!" can be ordered to lead an army to help Cao Xiu. ”

Suddenly, one of the people in the squad admonished: "The words of the Chu people are inconsistent, and they cannot be convinced, and Zhou Yi's wise and resourceful people will not surrender." This trick of the special lure is also. ”

When Cao Rui looked at that person, it turned out to be Jianwei General Jia Kui. Liu Fang pondered for a moment and said: "You can't ignore this statement, and you can't miss the opportunity." ”

Cao Rui thought so: "Spread my message, and I am full of favor and Jia Kui to help Cao Xiu." ”

Jia Kui had no choice but to take the order. So Cao Xiu led the army straight to take Anhui City, and Jia Kui led the former general Manzhong and Dongguan Taishou Hu Qian, and went straight to Yangcheng and went straight to Dongguan.

Han Xuan was in Wuchang Dongguan, and discussed with Liu Du and the officials: "Today, there is Poyang Taishou Zhou Yi's secret table, and he is called Cao Xiu, the governor of Weiyangzhou, which has the intention of entering the court. This week, the doi used tricks and tricks, secretly stated seven things, lured the Wei soldiers deep into the important places, and set up ambushes to capture them. ”

Xu Shujin said: "Chen Zilie doesn't dare to take this big responsibility. ”

Liu Du was overjoyed, so he summoned Chen Wu, sealed the general of Peking University, awarded Bai Xuan and Huang Yue, and all the generals listened to the restraints. Chen Wu received the order to thank him, so he promoted the two as the governors of the left and right, and divided the troops to meet the Wei army.

Liu Du asked which two people it was, and Chen Wu replied: "General Zhu Huan of Fenwei and General Quan Cong of Suinan, the two of them can be assistants." ”

Liu Du then ordered Zhu Huan to be the governor of the left and Quan Cong to be the governor of the right. So Chen Wu led 90,000 troops in total, so that Zhu Huan was on the left, Quan Cong was on the right, Chen Wu was in the middle of the road, and the troops were marched in three ways.

Zhu Huan offered advice: "Cao Xiu is not a wise and brave general, today I listen to Zhou Yi's temptation, go deep into the important land, the general will attack him with soldiers, and Cao Xiu will be defeated." After defeat, there are two roads: the left is the stone, and the right is the trailer. These two roads are both mountain trails, and they are the most precipitous. A certain willingness to lead an army with Quan Cong, lie in the mountains and dangers, and first block the way with firewood and stones, and Cao Xiu can be captured. If Cao Xiu is captured, he will drive straight forward, and get Shouchun at his fingertips, so that the Northern Expedition can be accomplished. ”

Chen Wu didn't listen to Zhu Huan's suggestion, and only said: "This is not a good strategy, I have my own plan with the king side by side." ”

Cao Xiu's troops were in Anhui City, and Zhou Yi led dozens of people to greet him, and went straight to Cao Xiu's tent.

Cao Xiu said tentatively: "The book that is close to the foot, the seven things that are stated, are deeply reasonable, and the Son of Heaven is heard, so the army marches." If you get the land of Jiangdong, you will have a great contribution. Some people are scheming, and I am afraid that what they say is not true. I don't think I'll deceive me at the end of my feet. ”

Zhou Yi knew that Cao Xiu still refused to believe himself, so he hurricaneously acted, first howled and cried, and hurriedly pulled out the saber of his entourage and prepared to kill himself.

Cao Xiu hurriedly stopped it, and Zhou Yi cried with his sword: "I can't spit out my heart and liver because of the seven things I have done." Now there is suspicion, and there must be a plan of the Chu people to make a counter-attack. If I listen to his words, I will die. My loyalty, only the heavens can show it! ”

After Zhou Yi finished speaking, he was about to kill himself again, Cao Xiu was shocked, and hurriedly hugged Zhou Yi and said: "Fang Cai is my joke, why is this the case!" ”

Zhou Yi then cut off a strand of hair with a sword and threw it on the ground, saying: "I treat the public with loyalty, the public takes me as a play, and I cut the hair left by my parents to show this heart!" ”

Zhou Yi often discussed the art of war with Chen Wu before, and he also learned a little modern customs and knowledge from Chen Wu, and cutting his hair did not hit him hard.

But Cao Xiu was deeply convinced that cutting his hair was an unfilial act in ancient times. Zhou Doi's hair cut also showed his determination, so Cao Xiu set up a banquet to entertain Zhou Doi.

After the banquet, Zhou Yi resigned. Suddenly, when it was reported that Jianwei's general Jia Kui had come to see him, Cao Xiu asked him to come in and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

Jia Kuijin said: "The soldiers of the enemy army will be stationed in Anhui City. The governor should not enter lightly, and when a certain two attacks are made, the thieves can be broken. ”

Cao Xiu said angrily; "You want to take credit from me!"

Jia Kui glanced at the food on the table, knowing that Zhou Yi had just left, and hurriedly said: "I heard that Zhou Yi intercepted his hair as an oath, this is a fraud, and he used to break his arm and assassinate Qingji." Not convinced. ”

Cao Xiu said angrily: "I am about to enter the army, why do you say this to slow down the army!" ”

For the sake of Jia Kui being an old minister of the Three Dynasties, Cao Xiu did not pursue him. Cao Xiuliu Jia Kui's soldiers and horses were mobilized in the village, and he led an army to take Dongguan.

Zhou Yi heard that Jia Kui was robbed of most of the military horses by Cao Xiu, and secretly rejoiced: "If Cao Xiu uses Jia Kui's words, our army will be in danger!" ”

Zhou Yi immediately sent people out of the camp secretly to Chen Wu's camp, saying that everything was going according to plan.

Chen Wu summoned the generals and ordered: "The stone pavilion in front, although it is a mountain road, is enough to ambush. Earlier, he went to occupy the wide place of the stone pavilion and formed a formation to wait for the Wei army. ”

Chen Wu then made Zhang Fei the vanguard and led the troops forward.

However, it was said that Cao Xiu ordered Zhou Yi to lead the troops in front of him, and while he was walking, Cao Xiu asked, "Where are you going?" ”

Zhou Yi replied: "In front is the stone pavilion, where you can station troops." ”

Cao Xiu listened to Zhou Yi's suggestion, led a large army, chariots and other utensils, and rushed to Shiting to station.

The next day, the sentry horse reported: "The enemy soldiers in front are unknown, and they hold the mountain pass. ”

Cao Xiu was shocked: "Zhou Yiyan has no soldiers in front of him, why is he prepared? ”

Cao Xiu hurriedly asked Zhou Yi to question, and then the sergeant came to report: Zhou Yi led dozens of people, and he didn't know where to go.

Cao Xiu was remorseful and shouted: "My thief's plan!" Still, don't be afraid! ”

Cao Xiu ordered the general Zhang Pu to be the vanguard and led thousands of troops to engage the New Han army. The two formations were in a circle, and Zhang Pu stepped out of the horse and scolded: "The thief will descend early!" ”

Zhang Fei came out of the horse to meet him, but he couldn't fight Sanhe, Zhang Pu couldn't resist it, reined in his horse and collected his troops, and returned to see Cao Xiu, saying that Zhang Fei was unstoppable.

Cao Xiu said to the generals: "I should win with surprise soldiers." ”

So he ordered Zhang Pu to lead 20,000 troops to ambush in the south of Shiting, and ordered Xue Qiao to lead 20,000 troops to ambush in the north of Shiting.

"Tomorrow, I will lead a thousand soldiers to fight, but I will feign defeat and deceit defeat, lure the enemy army to Beishan, put stone cannons as a signal, and attack on three sides, and I will win a great victory." After Cao Xiu finished speaking, the two generals received the order and each led 20,000 troops to ambush.

Chen Wuzhao Zhu Huan and Quan Cong instructed: "You and the two of you each lead 30,000 troops, copy from Shiting Mountain Road to Cao Xiu Village, and release signal flares; I led a large army from the middle road, but Cao Xiu was captured. ”

At dusk that day, the second general ordered the troops to advance. At the second watch, Zhu Huan led the first army to Weizhai and met Zhang Pu's ambush. Zhang Pu had night blindness, and he didn't know that they were Xinhan military horses, so he led dozens of horsemen to ask, and was suddenly attacked and killed by Zhu Huan.

The Wei soldiers withdrew, and Zhu Huan ordered the rear army to set fire. After Quan Cong led the first army to Wei Zhai, he crashed into Xue Qiao's formation and killed him here for a while. Xue Qiao was defeated, and the Wei soldiers suffered heavy injuries and rushed back to the village.

Later, Zhu Huan and Quan Cong came to kill each other, and Cao Xiuzhai was in chaos and impacted each other. Cao Xiu hurriedly got on his horse and ran around the stone road. Zhang led a large group of military horses to kill from the right road, and the dead of the Wei soldiers were innumerable.

Cao Xiu was shocked, fought and retreated in the stone road, and suddenly saw a Biao army rushing out of the path, and the general headed by Jia Kui turned out to be Jia Kui.

Cao Xiu panicked, Jia Kui pointed to the road ahead and said: "The governor can quickly come out of this way: if the enemy soldiers are blocked with wood and stones, we are all in danger!" ”

Cao Xiu hurried away, and Jia Kui broke off. Jia Kui set up more flags in wooded places and steep paths to suspect soldiers. When Zhang Fei arrived, he was surprised to see that Zhu Ling, a veteran of the Wei State, led his troops to rescue Cao Xiu, and saw the flag horn flashing under the hillside, worried that there was an ambush in front of him, so he did not dare to chase after him, so he collected his troops and returned. Therefore, Cao Xiu was spared the annihilation of the whole army.
