Chapter 232: Huang Zhong and Wei Yan Fight for Merit
Zhang Song presented Liu Xie with a topographic map of Xishu, but this matter was known by his brother Zhang Su, in order to receive the reward, he exposed Zhang Song to Liu Zhang, and as a result, Liu Zhang killed all Zhang Song's family members in Chengdu.
This is tantamount to angering Liu Xie even more.
In fact, in ancient times, especially in the Three Kingdoms era of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was too common for the people to be beheaded and the nine clans of Zhulian were wiped out, but Liu Xie had the idea of a modern person, and he would never allow this kind of brutal thing to happen.
At the same time, by opposing the strain, it will increase popularity and buy people's hearts.
On the last day of the march, the army rose up from the village, came to Fucheng, when it was about to reach Fucheng, the front was Fushui Pass, before reaching the pass, I saw a team of people coming from afar, Liu Xie raised the telescope to observe, but saw that the other party held high the white flag and there were about 1,000 people who were Shu army.
Liu Xie's order stopped advancing, and the crossbowmen prepared.
After a while, the other party came to the front and stopped at an arrow, and the leader was the Shu general Yang Huai and Gao Pei.
Yang Huai said loudly: "Hearing Your Majesty, the two of us abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and we are willing to enter Chengdu with the Han army and persuade Liu Zhang to surrender!" Special Chengdu wine. ”
Liu Xie laughed secretly in his heart: The vertical son deceived me, see how I see through your treacherous scheme!
Zhuge Liang whispered: "Your Majesty, these two people must be deceitful, and they can't do it." ”
"Don't worry, I have my own plans."
Then he said, "You two can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and your loyalty can be expressed, and I will give you two to drink this fine wine!" ”
Watching the two of them finish drinking, Liu Xie said again: "I have confidential matters to discuss with you, and I can make the idlers retreat." ”
After that, he led the two to the Chinese army and reprimanded: "Take it!" ”
The guards came out, arrested and tied up the two, and the two shouted: "Your Majesty Mingjian, a certain sincere surrender is not guilty!" ”
Liu Xie smiled and said: "You wait for the deception, thinking that I don't know, quickly and honestly confess, so as not to be guilty of death!" ”
The two insisted that they had really descended, and Zhuge Liang ordered someone to search their bodies, and found a sharp blade under each of their clothes. Zhuge Liang ordered someone to take him out and cut it, Liu Xie couldn't bear it, Zhuge Liang said: "The two of them want to kill the king, the crime is not punishable, drag it out to see!" ”
The guards dragged him out and beheaded him, and the two shouted: "The puppet emperor is all over the world, and the crime deserves death!" I won't let you go! ”
Liu Xie sighed and said: "I can't bear to kill you, I am so stupid, I don't know how to repent, and I won't be wronged if I die." ”
The 1,000 troops led by Yang Huai and Gao Pei were all captured alive by Huang Zhong and Zhang He, and none of them ran away.
Liu Xie came forward to appease everyone and said: "Yang Gao and the others usurped rebellion, secretly hid a sharp blade to kill the king, and shouted rhetoric before execution, the crime cannot be punished!" Now that you have been killed, you don't know the truth, you are not guilty, and you don't need to panic. ”
Everyone kowtowed to thanksgiving.
Zhuge Liang said: "The world is Your Majesty's world, you are biased in a corner, do not accept the king, today is the opportunity for you to love the crime and make meritorious service, you want to lead the way for the Han army to make meritorious service, and the success is free and rewarded, are you willing?" ”
The Shu army said that they were willing to lead the way.
That night, the 1,000 Shu army went first, and the Han army followed, came to the pass and shouted: "The second general is here, quickly open and close the door!" ”
When the Shu army in the city saw its own army, they opened the gate, and the Han army swarmed in and easily won the Fushui Pass.
After the Fushui Pass, there is Fucheng in front of you, there is no fortification defense, the Shu army looks at the wind and descends, Liu Xie each adds a reward, divides the troops to guard, and sets up a banquet to entertain the generals the next day, and at the same time discusses the next step of the expedition.
immediately took Fucheng and sent people to search for Zhang Ren, but he had already fled back to Shuzhong.
At the banquet, Liu Xie asked the generals, and Zhuge Liang said: "Liu Zhang is poor, there is no need to use a plan, the army will drive straight in, and Chengdu will be taken in a few days!" ”
During the discussion, the scout came to report that Liu Zhang had sent four generals to meet the battle, namely Zhang Ren, Liu Bi, Ling Bao, and Deng Xian. Now it is Lingbao Deng Xian and the two people who lead 20,000 troops, sixty miles away from the city, and set up two camps.
Liu Xie said: "Who wants to be a pioneer and go to take these two people?" ”
Huang Zhong said: "The last general is willing to go!" ”
Liu Xie said: "The old general is out of the horse, I am relieved, if you take two people, you will be rewarded." ”
Huang Zhong was overjoyed, thanked and wanted to go, and one person shouted: "The old general can't go alone, and the young general doesn't want to go." ”
Regarded as Wei Yan.
It turned out that after Yan'er took Jingzhou, Wei Yan surrendered, and then entered Sichuan with Zhuge Liang, and then came to Liu Xie's account.
Huang Zhong said angrily: "The old man has already received the military order, don't you know that if you come first and then arrive, you will compete with me for credit?" ”
Wei Yan said: "The old general is old, and his skills have slightly declined. I heard that Lingbao Deng Xian is a famous general in Shu, and his blood is strong, how can the old general get close to him, won't he miss His Majesty's major event? So it's a good idea to replace it. ”
Wei Yan mouthed an old word, and Huang Zhong said angrily: "Lao Tzu is not even fifty years old, where is he old?" You're young, do you dare to compare with me? If you can't win within three moves, you will count me as losing! ”
Liu Xie said in his heart, this Wei Yan really doesn't know the height of the sky, and this rhetoric does belong to belittling others to elevate himself, no one will be happy if he hears it, Liu Xie is very uncomfortable when he hears it.
Moreover, Wei Yan was still an anti-minister in the original history, so Liu Xie wanted to kill his sharp weapon well, so he didn't speak, and watched the two of them argue.
Wei Yan said: "How about the competition in front of Your Majesty, if you win, you will go?" ”
Huang Zhong got out of his seat and asked the soldier to fetch the sword, so he wanted to compete with him.
Zhuge Liang said: "The sword has no eyes, take the wooden knife." ”
The two of them each took a wooden knife, got on their horses and competed in front of the battle, each of them about fifty steps back, and rushed to kill each other. The two rushed to the front, Wei Yan slashed down, Huang Zhong flashed, and a knife went over, and Wei Yan was cut off the horse with a snap.
Not to mention three moves, Wei Yan can't even pass him a move!
Huang Zhong held a wooden big knife in his hand, pointed at Wei Yan on the ground, and asked, "Do you still say that I am old?" ”
Wei Yan slammed into the ground in annoyance.
Liu Xie, Zhuge Liang and other generals all came to him, and Wei Yan said: "He cheats!" ”
Huang Zhong said: "Normal competition, how to cheat? ”
Wei Yan said: "Then why didn't I fall for your trick before I got a round?" ”
Huang Zhong said: "If your skills are not as good as others, why should you be in trouble?" ”
Liu Xie said: "Wei Yan, if you lose, you lose, this is fortunately a wooden knife, if it is a real knife, do you think you can still speak now?" ”
Zhuge Liang said: "Then you would have already fallen to the ground." Hansheng is brave, it's not what you can imagine! ”
Wei Yan said: "But I just don't accept it!" ”
Zhuge Liang said: "If you don't accept it, show your real skills, don't you want to make meritorious contributions?" ”
Zhuge Liang said, turned to Liu Xie and said: "Your Majesty, it is better to let the two of them each lead an army, and whoever takes the village first will be the first to take the lead." Going into battle to kill the enemy is not only brave, but also strategic. ”
Liu Xie said: "Okay, Wei Yan, I will make an exception today, you and Hansheng will each lead 5,000 troops, Hansheng will fight Lingbao Village, you will fight Deng Xianzhai, win or lose will be decided, and you will not be allowed to play tricks at that time!" ”
The two of them took the order and went.
