Chapter 23: Pan Feng vs. Zhang He
Cao Cao learned that Liu Du was marching and ordered Zhang He to counterattack, and Zhang He led his army to capture Padang and Brazil, and moved the people to Hanzhong. At the same time, Cao Cao ordered Cao Hong to lead troops to Hanzhong for reinforcements, and Zhang He, Lu Yi and other generals were in danger.
Cao Hong marched to resist the enemy, and at this time Pan Fengzi and Lei Tong guarded Brazil. After Liu Du concentrated his forces, he first attacked Wudu with Pan Feng, Ma Chao, and Wu Lan, and blocked the Cao army in Guanzhong to reinforce Hanzhong at any time in the Xiabi area; He led Fazheng, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun and others to lead the main force to attack Yangping Pass, which was defended by Luyi.
Ma Chao's soldiers went to the lower division, making Wu Lan the vanguard, leading the sentinel to ride out of the battle, and was meeting Cao Hongjun. Wu Lan was about to retreat, but the tooth general Ren Kui said: "The thief has just arrived, if you don't frustrate its spirit first, how can you see General Ma?" ”
Ren Kui then suddenly raised a gun to fight Cao Hong, and Cao Hong personally jumped out with a knife. Confrontation triad, beheading Kui under the horse, Cao Jun took advantage of the situation to cover up. Wu Lan was defeated and returned to see Ma Chao.
Ma Chao reproached him and said: "You can't give my orders, why do you underestimate the enemy and defeat him?" ”
Wu Lan sighed regretfully: "Ren Kui didn't listen to me, so he was defeated." ”
Ma Chao said angrily: "But keep the pass tightly and don't fight with it." ”
Ma Chao declared Yizhou and listened to Hou's actions. Cao Hong saw that Ma Chao had not been out for days, and was afraid that Ma Chao would have a scheme, so he led the army back to Nanzheng. Zhang He came to see Cao Hong and asked, "Since the general has been beheaded, how can he withdraw the army?" ”
Cao Hong replied: "I see that Ma Chao can't come out, I'm afraid there is something else." And I was in Yecheng, and I heard that the gods had a saying: You should fold a general here. I doubted this, so I didn't dare to go lightly. ”
Zhang He laughed and said: "The general has been marching for half his life, and now he can't believe in the words of the diviner and confuse his heart!" Although he is not talented, he is willing to take Brazil with his own troops. If you get Brazil, Shu County is easy to hear. ”
Cao Hong hesitated: "The Brazilian guard Pan Feng is not more idle, and he can't underestimate the enemy. ”
Zhang He said disdainfully: "Everyone is afraid of Pan Feng's bravery, and I regard it as a child's ear!" You must catch it! ”
Zhang He then led 10,000 soldiers from his headquarters into the army, which was divided into three villages, each with a mountain danger: a ditch village, a hooded village, and a stone village. On the same day, Zhang He was in the three villages, and each divided half of the army to take Brazil, leaving half of the village to defend the village. A horse had already reported to Brazil, saying that Zhang He had brought troops here, and Pan Feng hurriedly called Lei Tong to discuss.
Lei Tong offered a plan and said: "The evil mountains in Langzhong are dangerous, and they can be ambushed. The general led the troops to battle, and I surprised the troops to help, and Zhang He could be captured. ”
Pan Feng sent 2,000 elite soldiers and Lei Tong to ambush. Pan Feng led 5,000 troops, thirty miles away from Langzhong, and met Zhang Hebing. The two armies were set apart, and Pan Feng stepped out and raised the Xuanhua axe to fight Zhang He.
Zhang He raised his gun and rode out, and the two fought for more than 20 years, and Zhang He's rear army suddenly shouted. It turned out that the sergeant saw that there were Shu soldiers behind the mountain, so he disrupted the formation. Zhang He didn't dare to fight, so he turned to the horse and walked back.
Pan Feng led the army to cover and kill from behind, and Lei Tong led the troops out in front. After two pinching attacks, Zhang He's soldiers were defeated. Pan Feng and Lei Tong pursued overnight and rushed to Danqu Mountain.
Zhang He still divided his troops to defend Sanzhai, arranged more wooden artillery stones, and held on without fighting. Pan Feng went down to the village ten miles away from the ditch, and led troops to fight the next day. Zhang He boasted and drank on the mountain, and did not go down the mountain.
Pan Feng ordered the sergeant to scold, Zhang He just didn't come out, and Pan Feng had to go back to the camp. The next day, Lei Tong went to the bottom of the mountain to fight again, but Zhang He did not come out again. Lei Tong drove the soldiers to attack the mountain, and the mountain beat the wooden cannon stones down, and Lei Tong hurriedly retreated.
The two soldiers of Dangshi and Hooded came out again and defeated Lei Tong. The next day, Pan Feng went to fight again, but Zhang He didn't come out again. Pan Feng asked the sergeant to scold in every way, and Zhang He also scolded Pan Feng on the mountain, Pan Feng thought left and right, and there was nothing to do.
After refusing for more than 50 days, Pan Feng set up a village in front of the mountain, drank every day, and when he was drunk, he sat in front of the mountain and insulted Zhang He.
Liu Du sent someone to reward Pan Feng's army, and when he saw Pan Feng drinking all day long, the messenger returned to Liu Du. Liu Du was shocked and hurriedly asked Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang glanced at Jia Xu, and then said to Liu Du with a smile: "I see! There is no good wine before the army; There are a lot of fine wines in Yizhou, and fifty urns can be made into three carts and sent to the army to drink with General Pan. ”
Liu Du asked in surprise: "Pan Wushuang often drinks and crashes, why did Zhuge Junshi send wine to him?" ”
Zhuge Liang couldn't stop laughing, but saw Jia Xu explain: "General Pan has been following the lord for a long time, and the lord still doesn't know if he is a person?" General Pan was always strong, but when he collected Sichuan, he occasionally had schemes. Today, he and Zhang He refused for more than 50 days, and after getting drunk, he sat in front of the mountain and insulted, as if there was no one. This is not a greedy cup, but a plan to defeat Zhang He. ”
Liu Du pretended to be puzzled, but he understood very well in his heart: "Even so, it can't be trusted." can make Zhang Ren help. ”
Zhuge Liang then ordered Zhang Ren to escort the wine to Pan Fengjun, and planted yellow flags on the car, with a big book of 'public wine in front of the army'. Zhang Ren received the order, escorted the wine to the village, and saw Pan Feng, only saying that the lord gave the wine.
After Pan Feng bowed, he instructed Zhang Ren and Lei Tong to lead a group of men and horses for the left and right wings; Just look at the red flag in the army, and then march separately; Teach the people to put the wine under the tent, and make the sergeants drink it with great enthusiasm.
There was a detailed report to go up the mountain, Zhang He personally came to the top of the mountain to watch, and saw Pan Feng sitting under the tent drinking, so that the two pawns in front of the sumo wrestling. Speaking of this sumo wrestling, it was still the wrestling skills that their lord Liu Du passed on to Pan Feng and the others in his spare time, and Pan Fengjun was laughing continuously in front of him at this time.
Zhang He saw it and said angrily: "Pan Feng bullied me too much!" ”
The herald ordered to go down the mountain tonight to rob the Panfeng army village, and ordered the two villages to cover their heads and swing stones, all of which went out to fight for the left and right reinforcements. That night, Zhang He took advantage of the moonlight to lead the army down from the side of the mountain and went straight to the front of the village.
Looking at Pan Feng's army from afar, the lights and candles were bright, and Pan Feng was drinking in the tent. Zhang He shouted first, and the drums on the hill cheered, and he went straight into the Chinese army. But seeing Pan Feng sitting still, Zhang He suddenly came to the front and stabbed "Pan Feng" with a shot, and when he stepped forward to look, he realized that it was just a straw man.
Zhang He knew the plan, and when he hurriedly retreated, a series of guns broke out behind the tent. One will take the lead, blocking the way, the sound is like a bell, it is the peerless general Pan Fengye.
Pan Feng raised the Xuanhua big axe and jumped forward and took Zhang He directly. The two generals fought to the twentieth in the firelight. Zhang He only hoped that the two villages would come to the rescue, but who knew that the rescuers of the two villages had been killed by Zhang Ren and Lei Tong, and took advantage of the situation to seize the two villages.
Zhang He didn't see the help arrive, and he was helpless, and he saw that the fire on the mountain had broken out, and the village had been captured by Pan Fenghou's army. Zhang He's three villages were all lost, so he had to go to Benwakou. Pan Feng won the victory and reported to Liu Du, Liu Du was overjoyed, and prepared to attack Yangping Pass when Pan Feng blocked Cao's reinforcements.
However, it was said that Zhang He retreated to Wakou Pass, and the soldiers and horses of the headquarters had been completely damaged, so Zhang He sent someone to ask Cao Hong for help. Cao Hong said angrily: "You didn't listen to me, you forced the army, and you lost the critical pass, but you came to ask for help!" ”
Cao Hong refused to send troops to help, so he urged Zhang He to go to war. Zhang He was flustered, so he had to make a plan, divided the two armies to ambush in the remote mountain in front of the pass, and ordered: "If I fail, Pan Feng will definitely come, and you will intercept his way back." ”
On the same day, Zhang He led the army forward and encountered Lei Tong. After the battle was not counted, Zhang He was defeated and left, and Lei Tong led the army to come. At this time, the ambushes on both sides came out together to cut off the loop. Zhang He came back and stabbed the thunder copper under the horse with a shot.
The defeated army rewarded Pan Feng, and Pan Feng personally came to challenge Zhang He. Zhang He was defeated again, but Pan Feng did not chase after him. Zhang He came back to fight with Pan Feng, but after a few combinations, he was defeated again. Pan Feng knew that this was Zhang He's plan, collected the army and returned to the village, and discussed with Zhang Ren: "Zhang He used an ambush plan to kill Lei Tong, and he wants to earn me, why not plan it?" ”
Zhang Ren asked, "How?" ”
Pan Feng said: "I will lead an army to go tomorrow, but you will lead elite soldiers behind, and when the ambush soldiers come out, you can divide your troops to attack them." More than 10 cars were used, each hiding firewood and grass, blocking the path, and setting fire to it. I took advantage of the situation to capture Zhang He and take revenge on Lei Tong. ”
Zhang Ren followed the plan, and the next day, Pan Feng led his troops forward. Zhang Hebing came again and confronted Pan Feng. The battle reached Shihe, and Zhang He was defeated again. Pan Feng led the horse infantry army to come, and Zhang He fought and left. Led Pan Feng across the mountain pass, Zhang He took the rear army as the front army, set up a camp, and fought with Pan Feng again, counting on the two Biao ambush troops to besiege Pan Feng.
I didn't want to ambush the soldiers, but Zhang Renjing's soldiers rushed to the valley first, rushed into the valley, intercepted the vehicle on the mountain road, set fire to the car, the grass and trees in the valley were ignited, the smoke filled the path, and Cao Bing couldn't get out. Pan Feng only cared about leading the army back and forth to conflict, Zhang He was defeated, desperately tried to open a road, walked on the Wakou Pass, collected the defeated soldiers, and could not hold out.
Pan Feng and Zhang Ren attacked the pass for several days. Seeing that the war was not going on, Pan Feng ordered the army to retreat twenty miles, but he and Zhang Ren led dozens of horsemen to scouts on both sides of the road. Suddenly, I saw several men and women, each carrying a small bag, climbing vines and walking on a remote mountain road.
Pan Feng pointed at those people with a whip on the horse, and said to Zhang Ren: "The Wakou Pass is only on these few people. ”
Pan Feng summoned a few sergeants and ordered: "Hugh should be frightened of him, so that he can call those people." ”
The sergeant hurriedly summoned those people to the horse, and Pan Feng gave them a good treat of food and drink, and then asked, "Where do you want to go?" ”
