Several people told Pan Feng that "they are all residents of Hanzhong, and they want to return to their hometowns now." I heard that the army was fighting, and the official road in Langzhong was closed; Now cross Cangxi, enter Hanzhong from Zitong Mountain Junichuan, and return home. ”

Pan Feng asked: "How about the distance of this road to Wakou Pass?" ”

The people replied: "From the path of Zitong Mountain, but behind Wakou Pass. ”

Pan Feng was overjoyed, took the people into the village, and rewarded a few people. Pan Feng paid Zhang Ren: "Lead the troops to attack the pass, and I will personally lead the light cavalry out of Zitong Mountain to attack the fortifications." ”

Pan Feng ordered the people to lead the way, chose 500 light horses, and sneaked through the path.

said that Zhang He was depressed because he couldn't help the soldiers. Someone reported that Zhang Ren was attacking under the pass. Zhang He put on his horse and was about to go down the mountain, when someone suddenly reported: "After the pass, the fire broke out on the fourth or fifth road, and I don't know where the soldiers came." ”

Zhang He personally led the troops to greet him, and at the opening of the banner opposite, he saw Pan Feng early. Zhang He was startled and hurriedly walked to the path. The mountain road is rugged, the horse is inconvenient to travel, Pan Feng is very anxious to chase behind, Zhang He abandoned the horse and went uphill, looking for a small road and escaping, so as to escape.

Zhang He accompanied only more than ten people, and walked into Nanzheng to see Cao Hong. Cao Hong saw that there were only more than ten people left in Zhang He, and said angrily: "I taught you to leave, but you want to go; Today, I have exhausted my soldiers and horses, and I have not yet died by myself, but I have come to do nothing! ”

Cao Hong ordered Zhang He to be beheaded left and right, and Sima Guo Huai admonished: "'Three armies are easy to get, but one general is hard to find'." Although Zhang He is guilty, he is the prime minister's beloved, and he cannot be punished. It can then take the Meng Pass with 5,000 soldiers, and involve its soldiers everywhere, and Hanzhong will be at peace. If they do not succeed, they will be punished for both crimes. ”

Cao Hong followed, and with 5,000 soldiers, he taught Zhang He to take Jia Mengguan. Zhang He took the order and left.

Jia Meng's guards, Meng Da and Huo Jun, learned that Zhang He led his troops to attack. As long as Huo Jun held on, Meng Da had to meet the enemy, led the army to Xiaguan to confront Zhang He, and returned defeated.

Huo Jun hurriedly applied for documents to Yizhou, and after Liu Du heard about it, he asked the military advisors Jia Xu, Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng and others to discuss. Liu Du gathered the generals in the hall and prepared to send troops to rescue Jia Mengguan, Zhuge Liang said: "Today, Jia Mengguan is urgent, and we must go to Langzhong to recall General Pan Feng before we can retreat Zhang Heye." ”

Fa Zheng disagreed: "Today, General Pan's troops are stationed at Wakou, and the town is guarding Langzhong, which is also a critical place and cannot be retrieved." One of the generals in the tent was selected to break Zhang He. ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "Zhang He is a famous general under Cao Cao, and he is not idle. Unless Pan Wushuang, no one can be there. ”

Suddenly, a person in the hall came out and said, "Why do you despise everyone! Although I am not talented, I am willing to behead Zhang He and dedicate it to his command. ”

When everyone looked at it, it turned out that the veteran Yan Yan. Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and said with a smile: "Although General Yan is brave, how can he be old, I am afraid that he is not Zhang He's opponent." ”

Yan Yan listened, and his white hair stood upside down and said: "Won't the lord and the military advisor hear that Lian Po is still able to eat and fight rice at eighty, how can I Yan Yan and Lian Po be old today?" Isn't it enough to be the enemy Zhang Hepiffye! ”

Zhuge Liang said: "The general is nearly seventy years old, how can he not be old?" ”

Yan Yan walked down the hall in a hurry, took the big knife on the shelf, and rotated like flying, not weaker than the young generals in the hall. Zhuge Liang asked: "The general is going, who is the deputy general?" ”

Yan Yan said: "Li Yan Li Zhengfang, you can go with me." But there is negligence, first accept a certain white head. ”

Liu Du was overjoyed and immediately ordered Yan Yan and Li Yan to fight Zhang He. Zhao Yun admonished: "Today, Zhang He's relatives have committed Jia Mengguan, and the military advisor is a child's play. If Jia Meng is lost, Yizhou is in danger. Why is the veteran Yan Yan such a big enemy? ”

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "You think that Yan Yan is old and can't succeed, I expect that Hanzhong will be able to get it in Yan Yan's hands." ”

Zhao Yun and the others each laughed and retreated. But he said that Yan Yan and Li Yan were closed, Meng Da and Huo Jun saw it, and they also laughed in their hearts that Zhuge Liang owed the dispatch: "Jia Mengguan is such a critical place, how can you only teach a veteran and a civil official!" ”

Yan Yan said to Li Yan: "Can you see everyone's movements? He laughed at me for being old, and I was still young, but now I can do miraculous feats to convince the hearts of the people. ”

Li Yan bowed his hand and said, "I am willing to listen to the general's orders." ”

The two agreed, and Yan Yan led the army down to fight against Zhang He. Zhang He stepped out, saw Yan Yan, and said with a smile: "You are old, you are still not ashamed, and you still want to fight!" ”

Yan Yan said angrily: "The erector bullied me into being old!" The sword in my hand is not old! ”

Yan Yan then patted his horse forward to fight a decisive battle with Zhang He, the two horses intersected, and they fought for more than 20 times, and suddenly shouted from behind: It turned out that Li Yan copied behind Zhang He's army from the path.

The two armies attacked, and Zhang He was defeated. The Shu soldiers rushed overnight, and Zhang He's soldiers retreated eighty or ninety miles. Yan Yan and Li Yan collected troops and entered the village, and they all stood still. Cao Hong heard that Zhang He had lost for a while, and was ready to blame him.

Guo Huai persuaded him: "Zhang He is forced, and he must vote for Liu Du; Now you can send a general to help him, as a prison, so that he will not have an outward heart. ”

Cao Hong listened to Guo Huai's plan, and immediately sent Xiahou Shang, the nephew of Xiahou Dan, and Gao Ze, a partial general, to lead 5,000 soldiers to help in the battle. The second general immediately set off and went to Zhang He's village, and asked about the military situation, Zhang He said: "The veteran Yan Yan is very heroic, and with Li Yan's help, he should not underestimate the enemy." ”

Gao Ze disagreed: "Yan Yan and Li Yan are both generals in Shu, and Anken worked hard for Liu Du?" Moreover, the Shu soldiers are unstable, and now our army can attack them urgently! ”

Gao Ze and Xiahou Shang led the new army to leave the village and advance, and it turned out that Yan Yan had been sentry for several days and had already known the way to and fro. Li Yan pointed to the place ahead and said: "There is a mountain here, the name is Tiandang Mountain, and the mountain is the place where Cao Cao Tun grain and grass are accumulated. If you get the other place, cut off its grain and grass, Hanzhong can also get it. ”

Yan Yan was overjoyed and said: "The words of the positive side are exactly what I want." Can be with me so so. ”

Li Yan and Yan Yan made a plan and led an army by themselves.

Yan Yan heard that Xiahou Shang and Gao Ze were coming, so he led the army and horses out of the camp. Gao Ze was in front of the battle and scolded Yan Yan: "The old thief quickly dismounts and surrenders!" ”

Gao then slapped the horse and raised the gun to take Yan Yan. Xiahou Shang also went out to attack Yan Yan, Yan Yan fought two generals, each fighting more than ten times, and Yan Yan was defeated. The second general rushed more than 20 miles and captured Yanyan's military village. Yan Yan hastily set up a camp.

The next day, Xiahou Shang and Gao Ze came, Yan Yan came out again, fought several times, and was defeated again. The second general drove more than 20 miles, captured the Yanyan camp, and let Zhang He guard the back village.

Zhang He came to the village and said: "Yan Yan retreated for two days in a row, and there must be tricks in the middle." ”

Xiahou Shang angrily shouted at Zhang He: "You are so cowardly, you know that you have been defeated repeatedly!" Don't say more today, and see the two of us make contributions! ”

Zhang He retreated in shame, and the next day, the two generals fought again, and Yan Yan retreated twenty miles in defeat. The two will catch up. The next day, the two generals came out, Yan Yan looked at the wind and left, lost several battles in a row, and retreated straight to Jiameng Pass.

Xiahou Shang and Gao Zeer will detain the village, and Yan Yan will not come out. Meng Da secretly sent a letter to Liu Du, saying: "Yan Yan has lost several battles in a row, and now he is retreating from the gate. ”

Liu Du asked Jia Xu and Zhuge Liang, and Jia Xu said: "This is the plan of the veteran army. ”

Zhao Yun and the others didn't believe it, and Liu Du sent his eldest son Liu Xian to close the gate to answer Yan Yan. Yan Yan met with Liu Xian and asked Liu Xian, "What does it mean for Gongzi to come to help in the war?" ”

Liu Xian replied: "My father learned that the generals were defeated, so he sent me. ”

Yan Yan smiled: "This old man is arrogant. Look at the night for a while, you can recover all the camps, and take away their food and horses. This is a borrowing village and Bitun heavy ears. Stay with Huo Jun to guard the pass tonight, General Meng Da can move grain and grass with me to seize horses, and the son will see me break the enemy! ”

On the second watch that night, Yan Yan led the 5,000 troops to switch straight down. It turned out that Xiahou Shang and Gao Zeer couldn't get out of the gate for days, and they were relatively slack. At this time, Yan Yan broke the village and went straight in, people didn't have time to put on armor, horses didn't have time to saddle, the two generals fled for their lives, the military horses trampled on each other, and there were countless dead.

Waiting until dawn, Yan Yan won three villages in a row. Countless weapons and saddle horses were dropped in the village, and Yan Yan taught Meng Da to carry them into the customs. Yan Yan urged the military horses to march later, and Liu Xian persuaded him: "The sergeant is sleepy, so you can rest for a while." ”

Yan Yan ignored the dissuasion: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger?" ”

Yan Yan rode his horse first, and the soldiers worked hard to move forward. Zhang He's soldiers were impulsive by their own defeated soldiers, so they couldn't hold their hands and went backwards. Zhang He gave up many fences and went straight to the Hanshui.

Zhang He found Xiahou Shang and Gao Ze, and discussed: "This Tiandang Mountain is a place for grain and grass; It is also the land of rice cang, which is the source of life for Hanzhong soldiers. If it is negligent, it is not a Hanzhong. Think about it. ”

Xiahou Shang said: "Micang Mountain is guarded by General Lu Yi's troops, and there is a military mountain that is being taken over, so don't worry." Tiandang Mountain is guarded by my brother Xiahoude, and we should go to it to protect this mountain. ”

So Zhang He and the second general threw into the mountains overnight, saw Xia Houde, and told him in detail about the past, Xia Houde said: "I have 10,000 soldiers and horses here, you can lead them and collect the original village." ”

Zhang He dissuaded: "It is only advisable to hold on, not to act rashly." ”

Suddenly, I heard the sound of the golden drum in front of the mountain, and the people reported that Yan Yan had been killed. Xia Houde laughed and said: "The old thief is not familiar with the art of war, he only has brave ears!" ”

Zhang He said helplessly: "Yan Yan is strategic, not only brave." ”
