Zhao Yun led the military horses and retreated into Fuguan, just as Pan Feng led the defeated army back. Pan Feng stepped forward and cried to Liu Du: "Lord! Li Ru's army and division feinted to lure the enemy, and even his men and horses were shot and killed by random arrows under the city. ”

Liu Du was shocked when he heard this, Wangxi cried bitterly, and set up a sacrifice for Li Ru's soul. The generals wept bitterly. Liu Du saw Zhao Yun returning safely and asked the reason, Zhao Yun sighed: "Zhao Yun is incompetent, when I led the White Horse Yicong to the city, Li Ru's military division had already been killed......"

Liu Du beat his chest and cried, and Zhao Yun said: "By the way, I met a general under the city, and he would also make the 'Hundred Birds and Phoenix Marksmanship'." ”

Li Dao said: "Shu general Zhang Ren is good at using spears, known as 'Hanzhong Spear God', and the one that Zilong encounters must be Zhang Ren." ”

Zhao Yun was shocked when he heard this, he remembered Zhang Xiu, who was once Tong Yuan's disciple. Since Zhang Ren can also shoot at the phoenix gun, then he may also be Tong Yuan's apprentice.

Zhao Yun was thinking about it, and Li Dao said to Liu Du: "This time I broke Li Ru's military division, Zhang Ren will definitely come to attack Fuguan, what can I do?" If you stick to it, please ask Zhuge to discuss the plan to collect Sichuan. ”

While he was talking, someone reported that Zhang Ren led the army directly to the city to fight. Zhao Yun and Pan Feng are going to fight. Liu Du shouted: "The sharp spirit is new, it is advisable to hold on and wait for the Zhuge military division to come." ”

Zhao Yun and Li Wei received the order and only held the city. Liu Du wrote a letter and called Liao Hua to instruct: "You and I will go to Jingzhou to invite Zhuge Junshi to come." ”

Liao Hua received the letter and went to Jingzhou in the starry night. Liu Du defended Fuguan by himself and did not fight.

A few days later, Zhuge Liang and Jia Xuren were discussing the defense of Nanjun, and someone came to report that Liao Hua had arrived. All the officials were a little surprised, and Liao Hua came in and presented Liu Du's letter.

Zhuge Liang opened the letter and looked at it, only to see that it said that Li Ru had died in the middle of the arrow, and asked Zhuge Liang to lead the army into Sichuan to help. Zhuge Liang cried in mourning, and the officials were also sad when they heard that Li Ru was dead.

Zhuge Liang said: "When the lord is in a dilemma in Fuguan, Liang has to go. Please Wenhe also go with Liang. ”

Jia Xu closed his eyes slightly and nodded in agreement, and Zhao Feng asked: "The two military advisors are going, who will protect Nanjun?" Nanjun is a heavy land, and the relationship is not light. ”

Zhuge Liang showed Liu Du's letter to the officials and said: "In the lord's letter, entrust Nanjun to me and teach me to use it only by myself." General Zhao Zilong is the general of the lord, known as the 'winning general', General Zhao Feng is his brother, the art of war and martial arts are not under General Zilong, and he can try his best to protect this place. The responsibility is not light, and General Zhao Feng should be reluctant. ”

Zhao Feng did not shirk and accepted the promise. Zhuge Liang set up a banquet and handed over the seal. Zhao Feng took it with both hands, and Zhuge Liang said with his seal: "It's all on the general." ”

Zhao Feng said angrily: "Since the eldest husband has received a heavy responsibility, he will rest until he dies." ”

Zhuge Liang saw Zhao Feng say the word "death", and he was unhappy. Zhuge Liang asked Zhao Fengdao: "If Cao Cao brings troops here, what should it be?" ”

Zhao Feng replied: "Refuse with force." ”

Zhuge Liang asked again: "If Cao Cao and Han Xuan raise troops together, what can they do?" ”

Zhao Feng thought for a while and replied, "Divide the troops and refuse." ”

Zhuge Liang instructed: "If this is the case, Nanjun is in danger. I have eight words, the general remembers, can protect Nanjun. ”

Zhao Feng asked, "Which eight words?" ”

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan and said: "The north rejects Cao Cao, and the east and Han Xuan." ”

Zhao Feng happily replied: "The words of the military advisor should be remembered from the bottom of my heart. ”

Zhuge Liang then awarded the seal ribbon to Zhao Feng, and ordered the civil officials Ma Liang, Yi Yuan, Xiang Lang, and the military generals Feng Xi and Xiahou Lan to assist Zhao Feng and guard Nanjun together. On the one hand, he personally commanded the troops into Sichuan.

Zhuge Liang first allocated 10,000 elite soldiers, taught and hired commanders, and took the road to kill the west of Benbazhou and Luocheng, and the first to arrive was the first achievement. Another army of soldiers and horses was allocated to teach Liao to become a pioneer, trace the river, and meet in the city.

Zhuge Liang then led Ma Tan, Jiang Wan and others to set off. That Jiang Wanzi Gongyan, a native of Lingling Xiangxiang, is a famous person in Jingxiang, and is now recruited by Liu Du as a secretary.

On that day, Zhuge Liang led 15,000 troops, and set off on the same day as Wenpin. When Wen Ping was leaving, Zhuge Liang instructed: "There are many heroes in Xichuan, and you can't underestimate the enemy." On the road, the three armies should be refined, so as not to shock the people and lose the hearts of the people. I hope that the general will meet in the city as soon as possible, and there can be no mistake. ”

Wen Ping happily accepted the promise and got on the horse and left. Everywhere Wen Ping went, as long as there were people who came to surrender, Du Qiu did not commit any crimes. Wen Ping went straight to Hanchuan Road and arrived at the west of Ba County.

Meticulous return: "Brazil is too strict and strict, and he is a famous general in Shu; Although he is old, his energy has not declined; Good at opening a hard bow, making a big sword, and having the courage to be unstoppable; According to the city, do not put up a flag. ”

Wen hired the teacher to leave the city ten miles away from the village, and sent people into the city: "Say to Yan Yan and make him come and surrender early; If you don't submit, you will step on the city! ”

When Yan Yan was in the west of Ba County, he heard that Liu Zhang was inviting Liu Du into Sichuan, and sighed: "This so-called sitting alone on a poor mountain leads the tiger to defend himself!" ”

Later, he heard that Liu Du was guarding Fuguan and was preparing to lead troops to recover the land of Badong occupied by Liu Du, and he was worried that Liu Du would take the opportunity to attack him.

On that day, Yan Yan heard that Wen hired troops to arrive, so he ordered five or six thousand men and horses in his headquarters and prepared to meet the enemy. The left and right generals offered a plan and said: "I heard that Wen Ping is a general under Liu Du, and now it is only advisable to go deep and high, and I can't hold out." His army had no food from afar, but in January, it naturally retreated. ”

Yan Yan listened to their advice and taught all the soldiers to go to the city to defend the city. Suddenly, he saw a sergeant and shouted, "Open the door!" ”

Yan Yan taught the soldiers guarding the gate to let him in and inquire, and the sergeant told him that he was sent by General Wen Ping, and conveyed Wen Ping's words. Yan Yan scolded: "How dare you look down on me!" Shall I bring down the thief! Lend your mouth to talk and write! ”

Yan Yan summoned the samurai to cut off the sergeant's ear and nose, and let him go back to Wenpin Junzhai.

The city where Yan Yan was stationed was a mountain city, surrounded by chaotic mountains, and Wen Ping personally rode a horse to climb the mountain and look down on the city. I saw that the soldiers in the city were all dressed in armor, and they were in formation, and they were lying in ambush in the city, but they did not come out. I also saw the people coming and going, moving bricks and stones, and helping each other defend the city.

Wen Ping taught the horse army to dismount, and the infantry army sat on the ground, leading Yan Yan to fight, but saw that there was no movement in the city. Wen Ping called people to scold and fight, Yan Yan couldn't stick to it, Wen Ping was in the village, and secretly thought to himself: "Shouting all day long, Yan Yan only sticks to it, what can I do?" ”

Wen Ping suddenly came up with a plan, and then ordered the sergeants to scatter to chop firewood and grass, find a way, and not fight. Yan Yan was in the city, and he didn't see any movement in Wenpin for several days, and he was puzzled in his heart, so he sent more than a dozen sergeants, pretending to be sergeants who were hired by Wenpin to chop wood, and secretly went out of the city to mix in the Wenpin army and went into the mountains to listen.

On the same day, when the armies returned to the village, Wen Ping sat in the village and scolded: "Yan Yan old horseman! I'm going to catch you! ”

I saw three or four people in front of the tent say: "The general doesn't need to be anxious, he has found a small road in the past few days, and he can steal through Brazil." ”

Wen Ping deliberately shouted: "Since you have this place, why don't you say it earlier?" ”

Everyone responded, "It's only been a few days since I found out." ”

Wen Ping nodded and ordered: "Without further ado, only make food on the second shift today, take advantage of the bright moon on the third watch, pull out the village, people will be ranked, horses will go to the bell, and go quietly." I will open the way before you, and you will go in turn. ”

Wen Ping immediately sent an order to the whole village, and the sergeants sent by Yan Yan to investigate the details heard the news and rushed back to the city to report to Yan Yan.

Yan Yan was overjoyed and said: "Wen Ping stole the road to the past, and the grain and grass must be in the back; I intercept the back road, how do you get through? Wenpin is just a brave and unscrupulous person, and I have a plan! ”

Yan Yan immediately sent an order to teach the army to prepare to meet the enemy, and only ordered: "Tonight, the second watch will make food, and the third watch will go out of the city, and lie in the woods." Just waited for Wen Ping to go across the choke path, and when the car came, he only heard the sound of the drum and killed them together. ”

The sergeant passed the order, and looked at the recent night, Yan Yan's entire army was full of food and drink, dressed and stopped, quietly went out of the city, scattered and ambushed, and only listened to the sound of drums. Yan Yan led more than a dozen generals and dismounted to ambush in the forest.

About three watch later, Yan Yan saw Wen Ping personally in front, holding a knife and riding a horse, and quietly leading the army forward. Wen Pingjun walked less than three or four miles, and the cars and horses behind them marched one after another. Yan Yan could see that the general was indeed wearing civilian clothes, so he ordered the sergeants to beat the drums together and ambush the soldiers in all directions.

Yan Yan led the army to snatch the car, when a gong sounded behind him, and a Biao army covered the killing, shouting: "The old thief is leaving!" I've waited just right for you! ”

When Yan Yanmeng looked back, he was the first general, with a national face, thick eyebrows, and a beard, making a long knife and riding a deep black horse, which was Wenpin. The gongs shook in all directions, and the Wenpin army came together.

Yan Yan saw Wen Ping, and immediately stepped forward, the two fought for more than ten times, Wen Yan sold a flaw, Yan Yan slashed at it, and Wen Ping flashed over.

Wen Ping grabbed Yan Yan's belt with one hand, dragged it back, and the two rolled off the horse and scuffled. At this time, the three Wen hired guards rushed over together and captured Yan Yan alive.
