Changshan country is too familiar with Zhao Yun and Zhang Yan, the army first takes the south to Tang, takes a little rest, and then waves the army to the south, taking Lingshou, Puwu, Jingcheng three counties, Zhang Yan divided his troops to attack Zhending, Jiumen, Zhao Yun took Mianman, crossed Jingcheng Mountain, attacked Shiyi, and the troops were in the capital of Yuan. Meng Dai, the guard of the Yuan clan, asked Yuan Tan for help, but because Zhang Xiu attacked Zhao State, he had to take Julu and rush to Wei County.

Yuan Tan saw Liu Ze's troops dispatched from the fifth route, and knew that Jizhou was difficult to protect, and Hanoi County was already in danger under the continuous attacks of Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao; Most of Henan Yin fell into Cao Cao's bag. Yuan Tan's father couldn't count on it anymore and was compressed in Luoyang City. In this way, Jizhou and Luoyang have cut off all passages, and in the face of the surging Liu Ze's army, Yuan Tan looked at Guo Tu and Xin Ping and said: "The situation is dangerous, what can I do?" Guo Tu said: "Don't worry, Duke Ming, the city of Yecheng is tall and thick, and you can shrink your troops and keep Wei County." "Yes, it's no different from not saying it. Yuan Tan glanced at Xin Ping, and Xin Ping said: "The emperor is cramped in Luoyang, and there are no troops to send; Yecheng will be broken sooner or later, for the Ming Dynasty, if you raise Jizhou and surrender, you will not lose the marquis. Guo Tu was furious and scolded Xin: "Zhongzhi is a child, and he has two hearts." Xin commented and said: "The lord is honored, the lord is worried about the death, and the heart of the evaluation can be on the sun and the moon." Yuan Tan knew Xin's comments on loyalty, so he said: "The public is cautious, and the words of Zhongzhi are not unreasonable." Guo Tu said: "If you wait for the surrender, you will not lose the position of the marquis, and the Ming Duke will surrender, how can Liu Rundong spare it." Xin Ping said slowly: "Fight and then surrender." ”

Guan Yu thought about it for a long time, chose two elite scouts, and asked Liu Yu to point out, enter the city to investigate the situation, and then make a decision.

Two scouts, one Zhao Jia and one Qian Yi, followed the dark tunnel and gradually came to the entrance of the palace. Listening attentively, there was no movement on it, quietly pushed open the entrance bluestone, the two leaned up, already in a huge wardrobe, and listened for a while, without sound, before opening the cabinet door and walking out. The two of them stood in a luxurious room, the room was dark, and through the little moonlight that came in through the window, they saw a large bed in the room, and the snoring sound on the bed was faint, but it looked like a woman. Zhao Jia took out the incense and lit it, waited patiently for a while, and the two opened the door to check the layout outside.

Yuan Tan asked Xin Comment: "What is Zhongzhi to fight and then surrender?" Please be clear. Xin Ping said slowly: "Handan City, the former capital of Zhao State, the city is extremely strong, and it is only a hundred miles away from Yecheng. The Ming Duke can shrink his troops, store grain and grass, and hold on to the city. The two cities cannot be attacked for a long time, and the Yan Wangjun will definitely be weakened, and the Ming Duke can spread the news, and he is willing to surrender the city, and Liu Rundong will accept it. Ming Gong not only had no worries about his life, but also did not lose his position. Yuan Tan said: "Zhongzhi is also good, the two cities are each other's horns, and they will support each other, and they will be able to stick to it." ”

Zhao Jia and Qian Yi got out of the house and slowly groped forward. The palace is huge, and the room they came out of was Liu Yu's original bedroom, which was in the center of the palace. The prince's bedroom was naturally independent, and the two came to the courtyard gate, looked out from the crack in the door, and saw the patrolling soldiers, holding torches high, and coming and going. Zhao Jia and Qian Yi discussed in a low voice, and then came to the backyard wall, and when they climbed the wall to look, they saw that the patrolling soldiers were relatively scarce, so they took a hole, jumped off the wall, and quietly checked with the cover of flowers and trees and mountains and rocks in the courtyard.

The two of them turned around and were a little surprised to see that there were no less than 200 patrol soldiers in the palace. At this time, the rooster is crowing, and it is estimated that there will be about four watches of weather, which is the time when people are most tired. Zhao Jia said in a low voice: "If you knock out a soldier and take him out of the city, it is better than you and me to investigate in detail." Qian Yi said: "In this way, wouldn't it be a surprise to the snake." Zhao Jia said: "Listen to the prince, there is still a long distance from the palace to the city gate, and it seems that it is not easy to enter the city from the tunnel." Qian Yi said: "The sky is about to dawn, let's quit quickly." ”

Guan Yu listened to Zhao Jia and Qian Yi after speaking, and pondered: "You can't be a special warfare elite." Zang Ba said: "Yun Chang, I have a plan. Guan Yu said: "Xuan Gao speaks quickly." Zang Ba said: "I can't tell you this plan until I ask the prince." Liu Yu said: "What do you have to do with me? Zang Ba said: "Lord, the tunnel is close to the east gate, I don't know which people to pass by?" Liu Yu said slowly: "The east neighbor of the palace is Wang Laocai's family, then Zhao Shan's family, and then the street, and beyond the street is the shop, and the east side of the shop is some poor people. Zang Ba continued to ask, "What kind of people are there close to the city wall?" Liu Yu thought about it and said: "It should be the barracks of the soldiers guarding the city and the place where the materials are hoarded." Zang Ba smiled and said, "Thank you, Lord Wang." ”

Guan Yu said: "Xuangao has a plan? Zang Ba slowly moved his finger on the map and said, "Yun Chang, please look, there are no big families living around the barracks, as long as I wait like this, Lu Nu can be broken." "Guan Yu is overjoyed," Xuan Gao is wise, and Yu is not as good as it. ”

Zhang Fei besieged Xindu, and for three days, Zhang Fei was furious, drinking and having fun in the camp all day long, and watching sumo wrestling while drunk. Xia Zhao, the head of Xindu City, looked at Zhang Fei's drunken mess, and was overjoyed in his heart, preparing to rob the camp at night. Changshi Huayan said: "The general waits, I'm afraid it is Zhang Yide's plan to lure the enemy." ”

Xia Zhao nodded and went down to the city.

Wei Yan couldn't stand it anymore, and said to Zhang Fei: "Yide, drunk and lying every day, making the soldiers play with each other, can you go down any day?" Zhang Fei was furious, pointed at Wei Yan and scolded: "Huangkou Zhuzi, dare to take care of the general's affairs, come here, the military law waits." Wei Yan was also annoyed, didn't he just say two words to you, it was also for your good, and said loudly: "Zhang Yide, you dare to bend to me?" Zhang Fei carried the wine jar, pointed at Wei Yan and said: "In this army, Lao Tzu is the boss, if you dare to offend me, Lao Tzu will fight. Beat.. Get. Zhang He persuaded on the side: "Wen Chang is also worried about military affairs, and Yide still lets Wen Chang go." Zhang Fei turned his anger to Zhang He's head again, "Zhang Junyi, you are just a general, and you dare to take care of Lao Tzu's affairs." "Saying that people don't expose their shortcomings, this poked Zhang He's weakness, and Zhang He's face turned blue.

Zang Ba selected five hundred soldiers and quietly entered the tunnel at night. Zang Ba carefully calculated the distance, felt that he had arrived outside the barracks in the city, listened attentively, saw the silence above, and gestured. Four or five soldiers immediately swung their shovels and shoveled upwards. After a while, the sky light penetrated through the small hole. After widening the hole, Zang Ba drilled out and saw a dilapidated courtyard, several grass houses, crumbling in the wind, Zang Ba cautiously approached the house, which was empty. Zang Ba didn't expect this result, and he was overjoyed, so that the five hundred soldiers came out slowly.

Guan Yu launched a siege overnight, and Tao Sheng commanded his soldiers to constantly counterattack. There was a sound of killing in the city and under the city.

Gao Ran crouched in the grass outside the east gate, anxiously looking at the direction of the east gate, the night was already deep, why didn't Zang Ba move?

Zang Ba opened the courtyard door, discerned the next direction, and saw that the barracks were not far away, so he quietly made a gesture, and the five hundred soldiers took out the sheepskin bags they carried with them, pulled out the wooden corks, and threw them into the barracks together, and then countless torches were thrown in.

The soldiers guarding the east gate were in a panic by the fire that had ignited in the barracks, and the city gate guard shouted: "It must be that the brothers have accidentally walked into the water, and they have sent three hundred men to fight the fire, and the rest of the city is guarded to prevent the enemy from sneaking attack." Three hundred soldiers hurried to put out the fire, but they were scattered by a burst of arrows, and the guards found that something was wrong, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to erect a shield wall.

Zang Ba ordered 200 people to bypass the shield array, kill the city, pull out his big gun, and slam it on the shield wall, the soldiers behind the shield wall were loosely formed, and Zang Ba was vigorously pumped, and five or six people fell, Zang Ba roared angrily and killed him.

The soldiers who killed the head of the city continued to shoot crossbow arrows, defeating the Yuan soldiers who rushed to intercept them, and the tun commander drew his knife and cut the sling, and the suspension bridge fell to the ground with a bang.

Zang Ba saw that the guard would keep shouting in the distance, shouted, the blocker was invincible, and rushed straight to the guard's side, the spear was like a spirit snake, piercing the guard's chest, and the guard resisted with a knife, less than three times, was stabbed into the lower abdomen by Zang Ba, and fell off the horse. The morale of Zang Ba's men increased greatly, and they fought fiercely, and the guards at the city gate quickly retreated. Zang Ba came to the city gate alone, rose up with great might, kicked the gate open, and opened the city gate.

Gao Ran raised his gun and shouted: "The city gate has been opened, follow me to attack." ”

Xia Zhao heard the scout say that the three main generals Zhang Fei, Wei Yan, and Zhang He were in a mess, and he was overjoyed, and repeatedly confirmed the news, and the scout said: "General, the villain has seen and heard it with his own eyes, and it is absolutely true. Hua Yan frowned and was still thinking, Xia Zhao said: "Zhang Yide is in a hurry, this time there is a big fuss, the army's spirit has been dispersed, and it is the right time to rob the camp tonight." Hua Yan couldn't stop it, Xia Zhao led 15,000 men and horses to rob the camp.

In Zhang Fei's camp, the fire was blazing, and the smell of wine soaring to the sky could be smelled from afar. Xia Zhao ordered Malekou and people to come outside the camp. Seeing that the guards were staggering, Xia Zhao waved his torches, and the army rushed into Zhang Fei's camp. Xia Zhao was leading the charge, and a partial general said: "Generals, gatekeepers, are all straw men." Xia Zhao was stunned, "Cao Ren? Isn't that Cao Mengde's command? The general was in a hurry, and threw a straw man in front of Xia Zhao's horse, Xia Zhao's face suddenly turned like dirt, his voice also changed, and he roared hoarsely: "It's a plan, retreat quickly." ”

Gao Ran's army entered the city and quickly rushed to the north gate. Tao Sheng saw the arrival of the large group of people in the firelight from a distance, thinking that it was the reinforcements who came, and couldn't help but be overjoyed. Looking not far away, Gao Ran shouted: "Tao Sheng, take your life!" "What? It turned out to be a high view. Tao Sheng was frightened, "Shoot arrows quickly and block Gao Ran." "Gao Ran's force value is definitely first-class, if his head is enough, he will definitely be in the top position in Yuan Shaojun's army. This fierce general, whose force is no less than Yan Liang and Wen Chou, killed in front of Tao Sheng with a hideous face in the firelight.

When Xia Zhao's men and horses were still crowded at the gate of the camp, Zhang Fei on the left and Zhang He on the right led the men and horses to kill them. Zhang Fei's murderous reputation was outside, and he screamed and fought back and forth in the Yuan army's array, and soon saw Xia Zhao shrinking in the ranks of the guards. Zhang Fei's disgraceful roar conveyed his excitement, startling the soldiers of Yuan to scatter and dodge, and Xia Zhao and his guards were exposed to Zhang Fei's eyes.

Tao Sheng thought about scolding this Hebei general angrily, but before he could speak, his chest was already cold to Gao Lan's spear. Gao Ran said loudly: "King Yan's army has entered the city, Lu Nu is not guaranteed, Brother Yuan Jun, come down." Gao Ran had a long reputation among Yuan Shaojun, and seeing his majestic appearance, the soldiers threw away their weapons and knelt down to surrender.

The north gate of Lunu City opened, and in the firelight, Guan Yu, who had a long beard fluttering and a red face, rode into the city.

Xia Zhao ordered his guards to move forward, beat his own horses, and fled to Xindu City. While running, he asked himself, "Where did Wei Yan go?" ”

Xia Zhao led thousands of defeated soldiers to the city of Xindu and shouted loudly: "Open the city gate quickly." The city gate slowly opened, Xia Zhao was overjoyed, and ran towards the city.

Suddenly, he shouted: "General Xia Zhao, I will be waiting here for a long time." When Xia Zhao looked through the firelight, he saw that his face was like a heavy jujube, with long eyebrows and thin hair, and he stammered: "You are Wei Yan?" Wei Yan laughed: "The general has been taking down the letter for a long time. Do you really think General Wing Der is drunk and messing around? Xia Zhao shouted in his heart: "Whoever has regret medicine, bring me a few packs." Wei Yan looked at Xia Zhao coldly, Xia Zhao couldn't help but feel a trace of cold air from his backbone, his body fell off the horse softly, and he knelt down and said, "Xia Zhao is willing to surrender." ”
