Chapter 6 Wei Yan's Fraudulent Surrender

Chen Wu casually picked up a copy of the Scroll Sutra and flipped through it, and wondered, "Is it so evil?" No matter how I look at it, these books are just ordinary military books. ”

Han Xuan shook his head: "What I see in the book is the Tao, the Tao of this world. ”

While the two were talking, a shadow tiger army at the door came in and reported: "King, Jianye has come to report urgently." ”

Han Xuan took the letter, opened the envelope and read it, and said in surprise: "Impossible!" No way! ”

"What's wrong?" Chen Wu asked urgently.

"Wei Yan rebelled and led the army to surrender to Wei!" Han Xuan was so angry that he threw the letter on the ground.

Chen Wu looked calm: "Didn't it be said in the romance that Wei Yan had a backbone in the back of his head?" ”

"Do you believe this nonsense? Wei Yan followed me when he was in Pingjiangdong, and his military achievements were great and his loyalty can be learned. After Tai Shici's death, Wei Yan guarded Qingzhou alone for many years, and did not surrender in the face of Cao Wei's 100,000 troops. Now that the Wei State is about to be destroyed, he has surrendered instead, what is the reason? Han Xuan still refused to believe this.

Chen Wu sighed and discussed with Han Xuan: "Since that's the case. You lead the army to attack Xuzhou and Qingzhou, and ask Wei Yan clearly, I will lead the army to attack Xuchang. ”

Han Xuan agreed, glanced at the sand table and said, "Cao Wei has been running Xuchang for many years, and this city will definitely be difficult to take." I will go with only a thousand light horsemen, and the whole army will be under your command. ”

Chen Wu didn't support him, he agreed to Han Xuan, and the two divided their troops again.

Han Xuan led a light horse to Pengcheng on a starry night and summoned Jiang Qin, Huang Xu, Wen Qin and other generals to discuss. Jiang Qin and Han Xuan explained: "Ten days ago, the last general sent Chun Yudan to Jiaodong to ask Wei Yan to attack the rear of the Wei army. When our army entered Donghai County, we suddenly heard that Wei Yan had imprisoned Chun Yudan and surrendered the Wei army. The last general had no choice but to lead his troops to retreat to Pengcheng. ”

Han Xuan looked at the distribution of military strength on the sand table and asked, "How many troops do Chen Qian and Zang Ba have?" ”

Tai Shixiang replied: "Zang Ba has 8,000 steps to ride in Lanling, and Chen Qian and Wei Yan have 10,000 troops in Langya. ”

Han Xuan deduced on the sand table: "Our army only has 6,000 soldiers and horses, and Taishi Xiang led 1,000 light horsemen to take Chengxian County to block the reinforcements of Changxi and Taishan." Zhang Cheng led 700 Tuntian soldiers to stay in Pengcheng, and the rest of the generals followed the king to take Xiangben. ”

Chen Qian learned that Han Xuan had personally come to attack Xuzhou, and sent his brother Chen Ben and Wei Yan to lead the army to resist.

Han Xuan led the generals to lead troops to raid Xiangben, and the Wei army stationed here was caught off guard. Han Xuan and the others did not encounter decent resistance at all, and the guard general Shi Jun led more than ten horsemen to flee, and was captured by Wen Qin, and then captured all the Wei troops here.

At dusk, it was suddenly reported that Chen Ben and Wei Yan led the army to kill. Han Xuan ordered the troops to go out of the village to meet the enemy, and the two formations were in a circle, and Han Xuan asked Wei Yan to come out to answer in front of the battle.

Wei Yan came out, Han Xuan also came out, and when he saw Wei Yan beside him, he knew that this person must be the prison sent by Chen Qian.

Han Xuan shouted, "Wen Chang, why did you rebel? ”

Wei Yan urged him to step forward immediately, until Han Xuan approached. Behind Han Xuan, Huang Xu, Jiang Qin and the others hurriedly stepped forward to protect Han Xuan, Han Xuan asked them to retreat, and urged them to step forward to talk to Wei Yan.

"King Chu! Thou shalt fight to the death! As the lord of a country, why do you want to be a vassal to Liu Du? Wei Yan was very emotional.

Han Xuan sighed, he didn't expect Wei Yan to do this. Han Xuan thought that Wei Yan couldn't figure out what he was doing, so he led the army to surrender to Wei, so he explained to him: "Wen Chang, do you know how many swords and soldiers can be saved and how many people can be saved when Chu and Shu are merged?" Wen Chang has been fighting with me for many years, and he should know right and wrong. ”

Chen Ben hurriedly stepped forward and said to Wei Yan: "General Wei, do you want to return to Han Xuan?" Don't forget the previous covenant! ”

Wei Yan shook the knife in his hand, and shouted angrily at Han Xuan: "When Wei Yan first met the King of Chu, he thought that he could be loyal to the Ming Lord and build a royal power. However, the King of Chu that I know now Wei Yan will never come back! That's all it takes, tomorrow you can come to the death together! ”

Han Xuan was also very disappointed when he heard this, and the two armies each collected their troops and returned to the camp. Han Xuan couldn't sleep at night, so he summoned Huang Xu and Jiang Qin and said: "You two quickly go and select five hundred elite soldiers, and go to rob Wei Yan's camp tonight, you will definitely succeed." ”

Neither of them believed it, so they had to take the order.

In Wei Yanzhai, Chen Ben saw that Wei Yan was still planning a military plane against the map, so he asked the deputy general to help keep an eye on Wei Yan and went to sleep by himself. As soon as Chen Ben fell asleep, suddenly there was a shout in the camp, and Wei Yanjun was in chaos.

After the camp fire, the soldiers were busy fighting the fire, and Wei Yan personally went to command the fire extinguishing. Chen Ben was awakened and shouted, "There is an enemy attack!" Go and report to General Wei Yan! ”

"General Wei Yan has already led people to meet the enemy, the enemy soldiers have been killed, the general should flee quickly!" Chen Ben's guards hurriedly protected him and escaped from the camp.

Wei Yan was in the front camp and was meeting Huang Xu. The two exchanged horses, but Wei Yan was suddenly defeated and led dozens of horsemen to abandon the camp. All the troops and horses under Wei Yan surrendered to Han Xuan, they were originally the soldiers of Chudi, and they had to follow Wei Yan to surrender to Wei, and Han Xuan easily incorporated Wei Yan's 5,000 soldiers and horses.

Chen Ben and Wei Yan fled to Lanling, and when they saw Zang Ba, Wei Yan said: "Han Xuan took advantage of our army's unpreparedness to attack the camp, and the last general fought to the death to ensure that General Chen Ben was killed." ”

Chen Ben did not understand the military, and relied on the relationship of his brother Chen Qian to become the supervisor of the army, and when he attacked the camp, he thought it was really as Wei Yan said.

General Zang Ba was suspicious, and reassured the two of them: "You don't need to panic, General Chen Qian has led the army on the way to help, with me and General Chen Qian here, Han Xuan will be killed here!" ”

Wei Yan echoed again and again, praising Zang Baba: "The general is brave, Wei Yan is not as good." In the coming day to fight against Han Xuan, Wei Yan is willing to be the general's pawn. ”

Two days later, Chen Qian led his troops to Lanling, listened to Chen Ben and Wei Yan's words, and although he was a little suspicious, he still let Wei Yan lead the troops.

Han Xuan led an army of 10,000 to approach Lanling, and Chen Qian led Wei Yan and Zang Ba out of battle. There is not much difference in the strength of the two armies, and Chen Qian came to talk first: "Han Xuan, if you lead the people to surrender, my Great Wei is willing to share the world equally with the Chu State." Why do you bend under Liu Du and be willing to be his minister? ”

Han Xuanyang pointed at Chen Qian and said with a smile: "Chen Qian, your father Chen Jiao is a handsome man in the world, why are you so ignorant of current affairs?" In the past, Wei was strong and Chu and Shu were weak, but today the Wei State Building will fall, and the dry bones in the tomb of you can turn the tide? ”

Chen Qian was furious when he heard this, and asked the generals: "Who dares to fight?" ”

"Wei Yan is willing to go!" Wei Yan stepped out of the sword and killed Han Xuan directly.

In Han Xuan's array, Huang Xu came out of the horse, and the coiling dragon sword technique was sent, and he fought with Wei Yan for thirty times. Wei Yan was defeated and retreated.

Wei Yan came back, glanced at Zang Ba and said, "Huang Xu'er is quite brave, but the general is invincible. The last general is willing to sweep the battle for the general. ”

Zang Ba nodded, and came out to fight Huang Xu with a gun. While the two were fighting, Wei Yan slowly moved behind Chen Qian. Chen Qian was watching the battle, unprepared, and suddenly Wei Yan shouted loudly and slashed Chen Qian under the horse.

Seeing this, Chen Qian's subordinate generals hurriedly came to fight Wei Yan, but Zang Ba, the only one who could fight with Wei Yan, was fighting with Huang Xu, and Chen Qian's generals Jin Jiang and Sun Rui couldn't hold Wei Yan at all.

As soon as Chen Qian died, the army under Chen Qian's command immediately fell into chaos. Seeing this, Han Xuan urgently ordered Jiang Qin and Wen Qin to lead an army to attack from the left and right of the Wei army, and the Wei army broke up and fled.

Zang Ba saw that the formation was in chaos for some reason, so he hurriedly turned his horse and fled. Wei Yan, who was besieged by more than ten Wei generals, although he came out of the Wei army at this time, he was injured and was encountering Zang Ba.

Zang Ba said angrily: "Wei Yan! You are really a repeated villain! ”。

"Wei Yan has always been loyal to the King of Chu alone, how could he surrender to Wei? It was all my plan before! Wei Yan smiled bitterly and brought his injuries to fight Zang Ba.

Wei Yan struggled to fight out, he had no strength for a long time, he was not Zang Ba's opponent, he couldn't hand over the horse, and he was stabbed under the horse by Zang Ba. But Wei Yan successfully dragged Zang Ba, and Huang Xu then killed, led troops to capture Zang Ba, and tied him up to see Han Xuan.
