Cheng Yi took the seal letter from his body and handed it to Zhao Yun, who glanced at it and handed it to Jiang Wei. Zhao Yun said loudly: "Wu Lan, you take General Cheng's letter and personal soldiers, lead two hundred soldiers to pretend to be defeated, and go to Daodao City, saying that the Han army has surrounded Pingxiang City, and General Cheng is in danger, so he asks Mu Huaji for support." I personally led 1,500 soldiers to ambush on the way from Qidao City to Pingxiang City, and when our army launched a charge, you will look for an opportunity to kill Mu Huaji. Remember, let the soldiers walk in front of Mu Huaji. ”

Wu Lan received the order angrily, and Zhao Yun continued: "Boyo, you lead 1,500 soldiers to ambush at the north gate of Qidao City, and when Mu Huaji's defeated army enters the city from the north gate, take advantage of the situation to capture the city gate, there must be no mistake!" ”

Jiang Wei said loudly: "The last general will obey General Zhao's orders!" ”

Zhao Yun said loudly: "I still have to work hard to become a general to guard Pingxiang City!" ”

Cheng Yi saw that Zhao Yun was so unsuspicious and trusted him so much, he was very moved in his heart, and said loudly: "The last general will be ordered, and he will definitely live up to General Zhao's trust!" ”

Zhao Yun toasted Jiang Wei, Wu Lan, and Cheng Yi with a glass of wine, and said: "I'll drink this cup to the fullest, and I wish our army a victory and take down the Dao City!" ”

Jiang Wei and Wu Lan drank wine, then got up and left first, and Zhao Yun told Cheng Yi to leave.

But said that Wu Lan with more than 300 soldiers, more than half an hour later to the north gate of the city, a hundred households in the city saw that the city was embarrassed their own people, did not suspect him, casually asked a few words, Wu Lan replied without leaking, and shot Cheng Yi's seal letter with a bow and arrow into the city. The hundred households did not dare to slack off, and hurried to inform Mu Huaji. More than two quarters of an hour later, the north gate of the city was opened, and Mu Huaji left the city with 3,000 rebels. Wu Lan patted the horse and came to Mu Huaji, and flattered Mu Huaji with a flattering expression, Mu Huaji no longer hesitated, and rushed to Pingxiang City with Wu Lan.

Mu Huaji led the army for more than three quarters of an hour, and Wu Lan left with three hundred soldiers under the pretext of leading the way. Mu Huaji walked more than a mile, and suddenly, the screams behind him came and went, Mu Huaji looked back and saw that hundreds of soldiers were stuck with arrows. Only then did Mu Huaji know that he had fallen for the trick, and hurriedly organized the soldiers to set up a formation.

At this moment, Zhao Yun led 1,500 Han troops to rush over from the flank, the rebels panicked, screamed and fled in all directions, and in an instant, the Han army's elite cavalry came out of the formation, Zhao Yun turned his horse's head and charged again. At this time, Wu Lan also returned with three hundred elite horsemen to kill, Mu Huaji was shocked and angry, patted the horse and took Wu Lan directly, Wu Lan shook his spirit, waved a knife to meet each other, the two of them did not fight, Mu Huaji was timid, shook a shot, turned around and fled, Wu Lan chased and killed.

The rebels had already collapsed, and when they saw that the main general had fled for their lives, they had no desire to fight, and began to follow Mu Huaji towards the city of Qidao. Zhao Yun and Wu Lan joined forces and pursued the rebels. About two quarters of an hour, Mu Huaji fled to the north gate of the city, yelling and opening the door, the hundred households saw that it was their own leader, and quickly opened the door, and Mu Huaji fled to the city with the rebels.

At this moment, Jiang Wei led 1,500 Han troops to rush from outside the north gate, which was already crowded by the rebels, and it was too late to close the city gate. When the rebels in the city saw this, they didn't think to shoot arrows to resist, and they all fled for their lives. The Han army harvested the lives of the rebels at the city gate like chopping melons and vegetables, and when Jiang Wei led the Han army into the city, there were not many rebels in the city.

Besides, when Zhao Yun and Wu Lan rushed to the north gate of Qidao City, they saw that the north gate was impassable, so they walked around the city and intercepted the rebels who fled from the east, west, and south gates. Zhao Yun knew that Mu Huaji would inevitably escape from the south gate, so he led the army to the south gate to kill. When Zhao Yun arrived at the south gate, he saw that not far away, a group of rebels protecting Mu Huaji was fleeing to the south. In a moment, Zhao Yun caught up with Mu Huaji and his party, Zhao Yun killed Mu Huaji's personal soldiers, and took Mu Huaji directly, Mu Huaji saw that there was no escape, and turned back to fight Zhao Yun, only one together, and was stabbed to death by Zhao Yun under the horse. Zhao Yun waved his troops to cover up and kill, chased and killed for more than ten miles, and then returned to Qidao City.

By the time Zhao Yun returned to Dao City, Jiang Wei and Wu Lan had already cleared out the rebels in the city. In this battle, the Han army suffered more than 100 casualties; beheaded more than 2,000 rebels, beheaded more than 600 Qiang soldiers, and more than 500 Han prisoners were willing to surrender; More than 4,000 horses were seized, and copper coins and ordnance were not counted!

Zhao Yun saw what was going on, and left Jiang Wei and 1,500 Han troops to guard the city. Zhao Yun and Wu Lan led more than 1,600 Han troops to rush back to Pingxiang City in the starry night. Cheng Yi saw Zhao Yun and Wu Lan return victorious, and admired it in his heart. The next day, Zhao Yun received news from Li Mu: Li Mu's army was fifty or sixty miles away from Pingxiang City, so Zhao Yun was ordered to suspend his march and wait for the army to come and rendezvous.

Before the time came, the herald came to report that at the north gate of Pingxiang City, there was a person named Cheng Yin who asked to see him, Zhao Yun was overjoyed and asked Wu Lan to answer. It turned out that Cheng Yi had sincerely surrendered to Li Mu, and wrote a letter overnight, asking his personal soldiers to send it to Cheng Yin, who was in the city, bluntly saying that the Han army was extremely brave, Corporal Zhao Yun Lixian, and Li Mu, the Taishou of Jincheng County, was the unborn hero, and he had taken refuge in the Taishou of Jincheng County, hoping that Cheng Yin could also know the current affairs as Junjie. Cheng Yin read the letter and saw that it was sent by Cheng Yi's personal soldiers, so he decided to take refuge in Li Mu.

About a quarter of an hour, Wu Lan took Cheng Yin to the Pingxiangcheng Mansion. When Cheng Yin saw Zhao Yun, he knelt down, and bluntly said that he was willing to take refuge in General Zhao and was willing to follow Li Taishou to the death. Zhao Yun saw that Cheng Yin was sincere, and he could obtain the city of Xianqin without blood, he was overjoyed, and comforted him with kind words, and Cheng Yi and Cheng Yin felt stable in their hearts.

In the middle of the day, Li Mu's Eastern Expedition army came to Pingxiang City, Zhao Yun, Wu Lan, Cheng Yi, and Cheng Yin went out of the city, invited Li Mu and his party into the palace, and everyone sat down. Li Mu looked around and said loudly: "The second brother is like a god with soldiers, and he will take down the three cities of Warriors, Pingxiang, and Zhengdao in one day, and the ancient famous generals are afraid that it is nothing more than that!" ”

Zhao Yunlang replied: "The eldest brother has a good reputation, thanks to the concerted efforts of the soldiers, there is this victory!" ”

Wu Lan said respectfully: "Lord, in fact, General Zhao took down the four cities in one day!" ”

Li Mu paused, and said with a smile: "Then this fourth city is ......"

Zhao Yun replied loudly: "Big brother, the fourth city is the city of Xianqin, thanks to the help of General Cheng......" Then, Zhao Yun introduced Cheng Yi and Cheng Yin to Li Mu, and also told Li Mu about Cheng Yi's persuasion of Cheng Yin to surrender.

As soon as Zhao Yun's words fell, Cheng Yi and Cheng Yin knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "The sin will be Cheng Yi and Cheng Yin to see Ming Gong, and I hope that Ming Gong will not give up, and I am willing to follow Ming Gong to the death, and I dare not have two hearts!" ”

Li Mu nodded, and said in his heart: Cheng Yi and Cheng Yin are in history, one is said to be Han Sui's eight generals, and the other is Ma Chao's eight generals, although they are not generals, they are also usable people. Li Mu said in a deep voice: "As long as the two of you are sincere, I will naturally not treat you badly, you two can do it yourself!" ”

Cheng Yi and Cheng Yin suddenly felt a murderous aura, and after a few breaths, they sweated profusely, and the two thanked Li Mu repeatedly.

Li Mu groaned: "Cheng Yi and Cheng Yin, do you two know where the main forces of Wang Guo and Han Sui are right now?" ”

Cheng Yi replied respectfully: "Lord, the main forces of the two of them are mainly concentrated in the areas of Chencang, Yongxian, and Duyang on the right side of Fufeng, and there are only sixteen or seven thousand people left in Hanyang County at the moment. ”

Li Mu nodded, and said loudly: "That is the case, the army rested in Pingxiang City for three days, and three days later, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Jiang Wei, Wu Lan, and Hu Du led an army of 15,000 people to the east into Chengji, Luoyang, Wangyuan, and Longxian, and I personally commanded an army of 15,000 to cross the Wei River and recover Xixian, Shangqi and other places. Chengyi Town guards Pingxiang City, and Cheng Yinzhen guards Xian Qincheng. ”

Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and his entourage replied loudly: "Obey the order of the lord!" We will live up to the trust of the Lord! ”

Li Mu nodded, and then said, "As for Ayang, where Hanyang County Magistrate Shi Gaixun is located, don't worry about it for the time being. As for Ji County, where the history of Liangzhou Thorn is located, I stopped by to visit! ”

Everyone nodded yes. Li Mu saw that everything was properly arranged, so he held a banquet and rewarded the three armies.
