Chapter 422: Yanqiao Catches Zhang Ren

Wen Ping stood up and tied Yan Yan with several sergeants. It turned out that the first thing to pass was the "fake Wenpin" who was wearing Wenpin's clothes and armor, and when he saw Yan Yan beating the drum, Wenpin taught people to mingjin as the number; As soon as the golden gong sounded, all the armies arrived, and most of the Sichuan soldiers abandoned their armor and surrendered.

Wen Ping killed under the city of Ba County, and the rear army had already rushed into the city by itself. Wen Ping asked all the armies to disturb the people and make an example to reassure the people. The knife and axe hand pushed Yan Yan to sit in the hall, but Yan Yan refused to kneel.

Wen Ping glared at him angrily and asked, "General Wen Ping is here, why don't you surrender, but dare to resist the enemy?" ”

Yan Yan had no fear on his face at all, and replied to Wen Zhi: "You are unrighteous and invade our state and county!" But there are decapitated generals in Shu, and there are no surrendered generals! ”

Wen Ping was furious, and beheaded Yan Yan left and right. Yan Yan shouted violently: "Thief! Why are you angry when you cut off your head? ”

Wen Ping saw that Yan Yan's voice was majestic and his face did not change, so he stepped down the stairs and retreated, personally untied him, and brought clothes for him to wear. Wen Ping helped Yan Yan to sit high in the middle, bowed his head and bowed: "It is appropriate to speak blasphemous, fortunately don't be responsible." I know that the old general is a heroic man. ”

Yan Yan was grateful for Wen Ping's kindness, so he surrendered. After the capture of Brazil, Zhuge Liang, Wen Ping, Jia Xu and others followed Liu Bei's instructions, divided their troops to attack, attacked the city, and intended to isolate and surround the county town of Yizhou, and finally forced Liu Zhang to surrender as soon as possible.

Wen Ping led the army north to continue the attack, and after occupying Langzhong, he left troops to defend it, and at the same time defended Zhang Lu in Hanzhong.

Zhuge Liang took the middle road, took Dao Daoyang, and rushed to the vicinity of Yizhou as soon as possible in the shortest distance. Jia Xu and Liao Hua captured the important town of Jiangyang, crossed Qianwei County, and surrounded Yizhou from the south.

Several armies are progressing smoothly and are invincible all the way. Only Liu Du is the only one who can't move an inch under the city of Luocheng.

Liu Du's officials discussed: "Today, Kong Ming, Wen He, and Wen Ping will take Sichuan in three ways, and they will be in Luocheng and enter Yizhou together. Ruocheng is the last barrier of Yizhou, and if you take Ruocheng, Yizhou will be surrounded by our army. Kong Ming and other land and water boats have already set off on 20 July, and they will be there at this time. Now we can enter the army. ”

Li Wei said: "Zhang Ren came to fight every day, and when he saw that he was not out of the city, his army was slack, and he did not prepare. ”

Liu Du followed Li Dao's plan and taught Zhao Yun to lead troops to the left, Pan Feng to lead troops to the right, and Liu Du and Li Dao to take the middle. On the second watch that night, the three route troops and horses were sent together, and Zhang Ren really didn't prepare.

Liu Dujun swarmed into Dazhai and set fire to the sky. The Sichuan soldiers rushed and rushed to the city overnight, and the soldiers in the city took them in. Liu Du returned to the middle road and went down to the village.

The next day, Liu Du led his troops to the city and surrounded the city to attack, but Zhang Ren did not come out. On the fourth day of the attack, Liu Du personally led an army to attack the West Gate, ordered Zhao Yun and Pan Feng to attack at the East Gate, and left the South Gate and the North Gate to let the army walk.

The area around the south gate is a mountain road, and the north gate has a water, so it is not enclosed. Zhang Renwang saw that Liu Du was at the west gate, riding back and forth to direct the siege of the city, from the time of the hour to the future, the men and horses gradually lacked strength.

Zhang taught Wu Lan and Lei Tong to lead troops out of the north gate and turned to the east gate to capture Zhao Yun and Pan Feng; Zhang Ren himself led the army out of the south gate, turned to the west gate, and met Liu Du alone. All the militia in the city went up to the city, beating drums and shouting.

Liu Du saw that the red sun was about to set, and taught the rear army to retreat first. The sergeant was just about to turn back, when there was a shout from the city, and the military horses in the south gate suddenly came out. Zhang Ren went straight to the army to arrest Liu Du.

Liu Du's army was in chaos, and Zhao Yun and Pan Feng were attacked by Wu Lan and Lei Tong. Li Dao was just about to come to rescue Liu Du, but was stopped by Wu Yi.

The two couldn't take care of each other, where could Liu Du beat Zhang Ren, and then turned the horse and walked to the mountain road. Zhang Ren chased after him from behind, and he was about to catch up. Liu Du was alone and on a horse, and Zhang Ren rode a few horses.

Liu Du was looking forward and tried his best to whip up, when he suddenly saw an army rushing towards him on the mountain road. Liu Du immediately shouted bitterly: "There are ambushes in front and chasing soldiers in the back, and now I am going to die!" ”

I saw that the first general in the army was Wen Ping and Yan Yan. It turned out that Wen Ping and Yan Yan were coming from that road, and when they saw the dust from it, they knew that Liu Du was fighting with the Sichuan soldiers.

Wen Ping came first, bumped into Zhang Ren, and immediately fought with him. After more than ten battles, Yan Yan led the troops behind him, and Zhang Ren quickly turned back. Wen Ping rushed to the city, and Zhang Ren retreated into the city and dragged the suspension bridge.

Wen Ping came back to see Liu Du and said: "Zhuge Junshi came back to the river, but he hasn't arrived yet, but I have taken the first credit. ”

Liu Duxin said that it must be Yan Yan next to Wen Ping, so he deliberately asked: "The mountain road is dangerous, how can you drive here first without an army to stop you?" ”

Wen Ping replied: "In dozens of places at the road pass, all of them are the achievements of the veteran Yan Yan. Therefore, it did not take a lot of effort to get on the road. ”

Wenpin introduced Yan Yan to Liu Du, and Liu Du thanked: "If it weren't for the old general, would General Wenpin be here?" ”

Liu Du then ordered someone to bring gold chain mail to Yan Yan, and Yan Yan thanked him. Just as he was about to arrange a banquet, he suddenly reported back to the horse: "Zhao Yun, Pan Feng and Sichuan generals Wu Lan and Lei Tong clashed, Wu Yi and Liu Bi brought troops to help in the battle, and the two attacks were carried out, our army could not resist the enemy, and Zhao Yun and Pan Feng retreated to the east." ”

When Wen Ping heard the news, he asked Liu Du to divide his troops into two ways and go to the rescue. So Wen Ping was on the left, Liu Du was on the right, and he came to kill. Wu Yi and Liu Bi saw the shouting behind them, and hurriedly retreated into the city. Wu Lan and Lei Tong only cared about leading troops to chase Zhao Yun and Pan Feng, but they were intercepted by Wen Ping and Liu Du on their way back.

Zhao Yun and Pan Feng returned to attack again. Wu Lan and Lei Tong couldn't resist the enemy, so they had to lead their troops and horses to surrender. Liu Du allowed him to surrender and collected his troops to the village near the city.

Zhang Ren saw the loss of Wu Lan and Lei Tong, and he was worried. Wu Yi and Liu Bi said: "The army is very dangerous, if you don't decide to fight to the death, how can you retreat?" On the one hand, he sent someone to Yizhou to see the lord and announced that he was in a hurry, and on the other hand, he used to plan the enemy. ”

Zhang Ren thought for a while and said: "I will lead an army to fight in Japan, defeat by deception, and lead to the north of the city; Rush out of the city with an army and cut off it, and you can win. ”

Wu Yi expressed his approval and said to Liu Bi: "General Liu assists his son to defend the city, and I will lead troops to rush out to help in the battle." ”

The plan has been decided, and the next day Zhang Ren led thousands of men and horses, waving flags and shouting, out of the city to fight. Wen Ping went out to greet him, let alone talk, and confronted Zhang Ren with a knife. After less than ten battles, Zhang Ren was defeated and walked around the city.

Wen Ping pursued with all his might, Wu Yi's army intercepted it, Zhang Ren led the army back and killed it again, surrounded Wen Ping in the heart, and could not advance or retreat. Just as he was helpless, he saw a team of military horses coming out of the river. The first general, with a spear and a prancing horse, confronted Wu Yi.

Wu Yi could not resist the enemy, and was finally captured alive. Come and retreat from the enemy army and rescue Wen Ping. Wen Ping looked at it, and it was Zhao Yun who came.

Zhao Yun said to Wen Ping: "Zhuge has arrived here, and he has met with the lord. Today, I am specially ordered to come to the rescue. ”

The two captured Wu Yi and returned to the village, and Zhang Ren retreated into the east gate.

Zhao Yun and Wen Ping returned to the village and saw that Zhuge Liang, Ma Tan, and Jiang Wan were already in the account. Wen Ping got off the horse to see Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang asked in surprise: "How did the general get there first?" ”

Liu Du told Zhuge Liang about Wen Ping's interpretation of Yan Yan, and Zhuge Liang congratulated: "General Wen Ping is brave and strategic, and this lord is also blessed." ”

Zhao Yun escorted Wu Yi to see Liu Du, and Liu Du asked, "Do you surrender?" ”

Wu Yi sighed: "Since I was caught, how can I not surrender?" ”

Liu Du was overjoyed and personally untied him. Zhuge Liang asked, "How many people are guarding the city in the city?" ”

Wu Yi replied: "There is Liu Xun, the son of Liu Jiyu, and the auxiliary generals Liu Bi and Zhang Ren. Zhang Ren is a native of Shu County, very courageous, and cannot be underestimated. ”

Zhuge Liang squinted his eyes and said, "Catch Zhang Ren first, and then take the city." ”

Zhuge Liang pointed to the east and asked, "What is the name of this bridge in the east of the city?" ”

Wu Yi replied: "Jinyan Bridge." ”

Zhuge Liang then rode to the bridge, looked around the river, returned to the village, called Li Dao and Pan Feng and said: "Five or six miles south of Jinyan Bridge, both sides are reeds, and you can ambush them." Li Dao led a thousand gunmen to lie on the left, and single-poke the general; Pan Feng led a thousand swords and axes to the right, and sat down on the horse with a single slash. Killing and dispersing the other army, Zhang Ren must come to Shandong Road. Zhao Zilong led a thousand troops to ambush there and captured them there. ”

Zhuge Liang also asked Wen Ping to ambush in the north of Jinyan Bridge: "When I lead Zhang Ren across the bridge, you will break the bridge, but you will strangle the troops in the north of the bridge, and the situation will be far away, so that Zhang Ren does not dare to look north and retreat to the south, but it is a good plan." ”

The dispatch has been decided, and Zhuge Liang personally went to lure the enemy.

However, it is said that Liao Hua used Jia Xu's strategy to successfully persuade Li Yan and Fei Guan, the Mianzhu guards sent by Liu Zhang, and Liao Hua's army is getting stronger and stronger, and the soldiers are pointing directly at Yizhou.

Liu Zhang was afraid that Liu Du would encircle Yizhou in three ways, so he sent Zhang Wei and Zhang Yi to help in the battle. Zhang taught Zhang Yi and Liu Bi to defend the city, since he and Zhang Wei were the front and rear teams, Zhang Ren was the front team, Zhang Wei was the rear team, and they went out of the city to retreat from the enemy. Zhuge Liang led a team of unorganized and uneven troops to cross the Jinyan Bridge and fight against Zhang Ren.
