After Han Xuan made the deployment, he took Tai Shici, Xu Rong, Gan Ning and others to prepare to leave for Changsha. Not long after Han Xuan and the others left, Gu Yong sent someone to send an urgent report that Han Yan was defeated by Shang Sheng.

Han Xuan gritted his teeth and looked at the battle report that came, sighed, looked into the distance and muttered, "He Qi, can I trust you?" ”

Han Xuan sent people to Yongning, appointed He Qi as the southern governor, and led his troops into the Fujian region. Shang Sheng was shocked when he heard about it and said: "He Qiwei's fame is widely spread in all parts of Huiji, and the mountains everywhere are all afraid. Thou shalt not fight against it. ”

Shang Sheng's subordinate Du Ming offered a plan and said: "He Qi is a general, I am afraid that Han Xuan will not be trusted. The general could send someone to meet with He Qi and ask for an alliance that would allow the two families not to invade each other. and then secretly made the Shanyue people attack Yongning and drag He Qi. ”

Shang Sheng did so, and the Shanyue near Yongning were all afraid of He Qizhi and did not dare to attack Yongning. He Qi saw that Shang Sheng did not dare to be his enemy, so he repaired a letter to explain to Shang Sheng the relationship between the welfare and the harm, and Shang Sheng sent a seal ribbon and prepared to surrender the city.

The rebel leaders Zhang Ya, Zhan Qiang and others discussed: "Han Xuan returned to Changsha, and the troops in various places were empty. He Qi has only two or three thousand people, and we have more than 10,000 soldiers, what are we afraid of him doing? ”

Zhang Ya's son-in-law He Xiong suggested: "Shang Sheng is cowardly by nature, I might as well join forces to kill him together!" ”

Zhang Ya, Zhan Qiang and others agreed, so they led troops to surround Shang Sheng's mansion overnight, Shang Sheng came out and saw Zhang Ya walking towards him with a knife, and shouted in horror: "What are you going to do, rebel?" You are not Heqi's opponent. ”

Zhang Ya licked the knife edge and said with a smile: "I don't know if He Qi is as powerful as you say, I just know that you are going to die." ”

Zhang Ya cut off Shang Sheng's head with a knife, occupied Shang Sheng's mansion, and incorporated his subordinates. Zhang Ya claimed to be the supreme general, and Zhan Qiang claimed to be the chief inspector.

When the news reached He Qi, He Qi measured: "There are many rebels and our army is small, and we are unable to go to the conquest. The whole garrison was ordered to rest. ”

Chen Wu, who was in Zhang'an's crusade against Shanyue, heard that He Qi was hesitant, so he led his troops to Yongning day and night, and questioned He Qi: "He Qi! My eldest brother entrusted you with a heavy responsibility, Zhang Ya and Zhan Qiang rebelled, my eldest brother gave you these 3,000 soldiers and horses are all elite in a hundred battles, why are you reluctant to send troops? Do you want to be against it too? ”

He Qi asked Chen Wu to sit down first, Chen Wu resolutely did not sit, He Qi smiled: "The lord does not doubt that I am a general, and I am entrusted with a heavy responsibility, and I will be the lord and the brain." It's just that Wang Lang is still based on Dongye, and I can't waste troops for Zhang Ya, Zhan Qiang and other thieves. The general was entrusted by the lord to go to the mountains and mountains of Zhang'an, how could he come rashly. Please ask the general to return to his post as soon as possible, so as not to lose Zhang An. ”

Chen Wu snorted coldly: "You don't have to worry about my business, I came to supervise you." If you have a bad heart, you will not be spared! ”

He Qi's informant came to report that Zhang Ya and his son-in-law He Xiong were not in harmony with each other in their struggle for power, and even fought at the banquet.

He Qi laughed out loud after hearing this, and said to Chen Wu: "General, look at how I break the thief!" ”

He Qi found Ge Jun, the leader of a Shanyue army that had just joined him, and said to Ge Jun: "Ge Jun, I order you to lead your troops to Houguan County and attack He Xiong and Zhang Ya's ......."

Ge Jun led his subordinates down the mountain to Houguan County, where Ge first attacked Zhang Ya's men and then drilled into the mountains.

Zhang Ya asked He Xiong to enter the mountain to exterminate Shanyue, and after He Xiong led his troops into the mountain, he did not see the shadow of the Shanyue army. It didn't take long for Zhang Yajun to be attacked again, Zhang Ya thought that He Xiong did not send heavy troops to encircle and suppress him, so he personally led the troops to come.

He Xiong led his troops to the rescue, and Ge Jun immediately asked his subordinates to retreat. After that, every time Zhang Ya came, Ge's army fought to the death, and He Xionglai's Ge army led his subordinates to retreat.

Zhang Ya finally couldn't help it, and scolded He Xiong with drunkenness at the banquet: "You are just my dog son-in-law, and you dare to unite with the Shanyue people to bully me." From this day forward, I will take back your military power. ”

He Xiong sneered: "I'm afraid that these soldiers under a certain subordinate will not listen to Lord Yuezhang's orders!" ”

Zhang Ya and He Xiong had a grudge, suspicious and antagonistic to each other, Zhang Ya and He Xiong annexed each other, and a lot of troops were wasted. Chen Wu heard that Zhang Ya and He Xiong were fighting in the house, and said: "Good opportunity, at this time, our army will attack, and we will definitely defeat Zhang Ya." ”

He Qi refused to send troops, he said: "At this time, once our army advances, Zhang Ya and He Xiong will inevitably unite against our army again. The general must not be in a hurry, wait. ”

After waiting for a while, He Xiong's wife Zhang's affair with someone was discovered by He Xiong, and He Xiong killed Zhang in a fit of rage. When Zhang Ya learned that her daughter had been killed, she was furious and the whole army went out to attack He Xiong.

He Qi got the news and ordered his troops and horses to go to the discussion. Zhang Ya and He Xiong fought so hard that the corpses were piled up, He Qi led his troops to suddenly appear behind Zhang Yajun at this time, and three thousand elite Han Xuanjun troops came in array, and Zhang Ya was defeated and fled.

He Qi led the army to attack He Xiong, and He Xiong's troops were already beaten by Zhang Ya There was little left, and He Qi's victorious army pressed up and broke He Xiong's army in one fell swoop. He Xiong was captured by Chen Wu, Chen Wu and He Qi pursued Zhang Ya together, He Qi picked up two guns and stabbed several Zhang Ya soldiers to death, and then threw a shot at Zhang Ya's back.

Zhang Ya was stabbed to death by a flying shot, and Zhang Ya's army was destroyed. Zhan Qiang's subordinates were already afraid of He Qi's might, but now Zhang Ya, who had the most troops, was destroyed, and they led the crowd to surrender.

He Qi surrendered Zhan Qiang's troops, and Han Xuanjun occupied Houguan County, Chen Wu patted He Qi on the shoulder and said with a smile: "General He Qi, I really admire your divisive plan this time. I have offended the general many times before, so please forgive the general. ”

He Qi waved his hand and said: "General Chen Wu led the troops here before for the sake of the lord, but now that the thieves have been calmed down, please return to the post as soon as possible." Sun Ben's army in the northern counties of Huiji was ready to move, and he couldn't defend it unless he went to the general. ”

Chen Wu asked: "General He Qi, Dongye still has nearly 10,000 people from Wang Lang's army, and he is willing to help the general." ”

He Qi said with a smile: "Wang Lang doesn't work hard for the general, and I can break it in ten days." ”

Chen Wu and He Qi looked at each other and smiled, and Chen Wu led his troops back to Zhang'an. He Qi waved his troops to attack Wang Lang, and Wang Lang heard that He Qi had broken through Zhang Ya and Zhan Qiang, gathered more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and soon the generals would come to Dongye.

Wang Lang was extremely frightened, and summoned Yu Xuan to discuss countermeasures, and Yu Xuan sighed: "Han Xuan is the Yangzhou pastor appointed by the imperial court, and he persuaded the general to surrender to him early in the morning, but the general did not listen. He Qi is powerful and shocks Shanyue, there are many Shanyue soldiers in our army, if He Qi comes, I am afraid that he will collapse without a fight. The only way to do this is to surrender Han Xuan. ”

Wang Lang saw that Yu turned over and asked him to surrender, so he decided to flee to Jiaozhou, and Wang Lang was just about to board the ship and go to sea, He Qi led the army to kill. Wang Lang's subordinates had no way to retreat, and there were fierce generals like He Qi in front of them, and Wang Lang's army surrendered one after another.

He Qi ordered someone to arrest Wang Lang and send him to Han Xuan for disposal. Han Xuan was overjoyed when he learned that He Qi had captured Wang Lang, and discussed with Zhang Zhao and said: "Wang Lang is deeply loved by the people in Huiji, and I want Wang Lang to serve me, but he is still too guarded by Huiji." Wangzibu said it for me. ”

Zhang Zhao went to meet Wang Lang, and the two gave their own greeting gifts, Zhang Zhao said: "My lord Han Xuan respects his feet, as long as he agrees to serve my lord Han Xuan, he can still serve as the county guard of Huiji." ”

Wang Lang sneered: "I only serve the Han Imperial Court, how can junior Han Xuan be worthy of my service?" ”

Zhang Zhao tried hard to persuade Wang Lang, but Wang Lang resolutely refused to serve Han Xuan. Zhang Zhao had no choice but to leave, and as soon as he came out of Wang Lang's mansion, a sturdy scribe entered the door of Wang Lang's mansion.

Zhang Zhao saw that the man was good-looking, so he asked Wang Lang's doorman about the man's identity. The doorman said: "This person is my master's subordinate Cao, Yu Zhongxiang." ”

Zhang Zhao gave the doorman some broken silver, and heard that this Yu turned the spear, and he was also quite accomplished in scriptures, especially proficient in "Yi" science, and also had medical skills, which can be described as an all-round talent in civil and military affairs.

Zhang Zhaoxin said: I persuaded Wang Lang to return in vain, and it would be too embarrassing in front of Zhong Xuan, Chen Qun and others after I went back. It's better to take this Yu to see the lord, and he will definitely be appreciated by the lord.
