On the night of the fifteenth o'clock of the month, the full moon hung high in the middle of the sky, the night sky was clean, and there was no publication before the second: there were sparse and distant stars twinkling and shining, and the wilderness on the north bank of the Yi River appeared vast and silent under the cold moonlight, and the sound of horses' hooves suddenly rose, and came through the night, and the night closed and went.

More than 20 people from Chen Caozhi, Ran Sheng, Shen Chiqian, and Su Li, as well as 300 people from Xi Bao, the envoy of Di Qin, opened a half-mile-long column and galloped through the ruins of the thousand-year-old ruins of the Xia Shang Wednesday in the southern suburbs of Luoyang.

Qin envoy Xi Bao and Chen Caozhi and others rode horses in front, Xi Bao knew the geography of Luoyang, and asked Shen Chi loudly: "Shen Gongzi, not far ahead is the Yi River, has your father arranged for a boat to cross the river for me?"

Shen Chihuo said: "Jiazun originally planned to send Chen Shi and Xi envoys to cross Yishui tomorrow, but the Yan army attacked at night and was not prepared in a hurry."

"Well, how good is that". Xi Bao didn't wait for Shen Chiqian to finish speaking, and he sighed greatly.

Shen Chiqian said: "Xi envoys don't need to worry, there is no rain in the Yiluo area, and there are several sections of the Yi River where the water is less than four feet deep, and you can cross the river with water, and you can come with me." ”

Xi Bao turned his worries into joy, and crossed the river by horse and water much faster than by boat, and immediately followed Shen Chiqian to the south.

The southern suburbs of Luoyang to the north bank of the Yi River for about fifteen miles, the fast horse galloped, and it didn't take two moments to see the sparkling Yishui under the moonlit night in the distance. Everyone slowed down their horses, and suddenly saw a small group of people running along the river bank from the upstream, intercepted in front of everyone, and someone hurriedly shouted: "Young master"

Chen Caozhi, Shen Chiqian and others hurriedly restrained their mounts, Shen Chiqian looked forward and asked, "Shen Fu." What's the urgency?.

There were about fifteen or six people who came, and the ones who were Shen's private soldiers bowed down and said: "After receiving the sentry report, Yan Dazai Sima Yuexi led troops from Yanshi to cross Yishui at night. Rushing to the west, he has now reached the high cliff on the south bank of Yishui and Ningdu in front, wanting to intercept the retreat of the Luoyang defenders, and a Yan army sneaked to the west of Luoyang City, waiting for Tianming and Murong Chui's foot cavalry to besiege the young master of Luoyang City, this Yishui can not cross."

Shen Chiyan was surprised: "The north of Luoyang City is the Yellow River, and the other three sides are blocked by the Yan army, how can this be good?" Looking at Chen Caozhi, he asked: "Master Chen, how about we return to Luoyang?"

Xi Bao between Chen Cao: "What is the best strategy for Xi Changshi?"

Xi Bao was anxious and angry, if Chen Caozhi didn't go to Luoyang after listening to his good words yesterday, but went directly south to Ruyang, where would he fall into the danger at this time! But at this time, it was inconvenient to say more to complain, but said indignantly: "It's all at this point, what else can Xi have any good plans!" Luoyang definitely can't go back"

Shen Chiqian's face sank, and he said, "Why is the envoy talking like this!" ”

Xi Bao sneered, and didn't say more, anyway, he would never return to Luoyang, but he led the delegation back to Mianchi for fear of encountering the intercepted Yan army, and he didn't know where to go in a hurry in this dark night.

Chen Caozhi said: "Murong Chui's cavalry is almost under Luoyang City, we can't go back, from here to the south, the area is open, as long as we avoid the Yan army ambushed in the area from Ningdu to Gaoya on the other side, we can calmly enter the Yingchuan territory. ”

Xi Bao nodded yes, the Qin army under his command was not familiar with the land group here, and it was inconvenient for scouts, so they could only use Shen Chiqian.

Shen Chiqian looked at the three hundred Qin troops behind him, and said: "There are a lot of people and horses, it is very easy to alarm the Yan army on the other side, except for a few brains, the rest of the people are dismounted and walked, and the horses stay in place, and Shen Fu will lead people to go around these horses to the downstream to cross the river, and then meet under the Nanheng Ridge, Shen Chiqian will take the lead in dismounting." Su Xiao and two of his men also dismounted.

A group of Qin cavalry looked at each other, no one refused to dismount, the war horse is equivalent to half the life of the cavalry, how can it be easily separated!

Cheng Xiang Changshi Xi Bao is a civil official, and he is quite literary among the Di people, so He Jian sent him to Jiankang, and Xi Bao has not fought on the battlefield with his own hands. He doesn't have such deep feelings for mounts, and he is a brain, so he doesn't have to dismount, although he feels that it is a little too cautious for people and horses to cross the river in batches, and once the Yan army shows them, it is not easy to run away without mounts. But Chen Caozhi and Shen Jin's sons are here, and Xi Bao doesn't believe that they will harm themselves."

Chen Caozhi urged: "Xi Changshi, make a decision, since Qin and Jin have formed an alliance, we should be in the same boat." ”

Xi Bao looked at the other side of the Yi River in the misty moonlight, and after a little hesitation, he ordered the accompanying Qin army to dismount, and two Shi Commanders led twenty sergeants to cross the river with Shen Fu and others.

When those Qin soldiers saw the commander's order, they had no choice but to obey their orders, and they dismounted one after another, and the three hundred cavalry became foot soldiers.

Shen Chiqian said: "The Yan army on the south bank of the Yi River is concentrated in the south of Luoyi, the further upstream it is, the looser the defense, we will go east along the north bank for more than ten miles, there is a shoal where you can cross the river, you come with me." As he spoke, he strode eastward, Chen Caozhi and Ran Sheng followed on horseback, and Su Qi and the others followed on foot.

Although Xi Bao felt that it was a little incomprehensible to go east at this time, he could only obey Chen Caozhi and Shen Chiqian, who were deeply courteous to King Fu and known as Jiang Zuo

Xi Bao never thought that this Chen Caozhi was going to throw himself into the net, and he tried every means to leave the war horses of the Qin soldiers, but he didn't want these war horses to be captured by the Yan army with the three hundred Qin troops, and it didn't hurt for the Qin soldiers to be captured. And this is also Chen Caozhi's purpose in creating disputes between Qin and Yan, but it is better to keep the three hundred war horses in the hands of the Jin army, and they can't "borrow the soldiers and steal grain", Jiangdong is short of horses, and these three hundred war horses are not a small number

Without the chaos of war horses and horses, the road is really much quieter, the flowing water is sinking, the distant mountains under the moonlight on the opposite bank are silent, Chen Caozhi and Xi Bao and his party of more than 300 people with the help of the small forest on the south bank of the Yi River, Yin Jiang, quietly traveled to the lower reaches of the Yi River, about more than ten places, seeing the bright moon slanting westward, the sky is getting darker and darker, and Shen Chiqian said: "The opposite bank is a high cliff, after this section there will be no Yan army, we can quietly cross the river, Nanhengling is only fifteen miles away from here, and when the time comes, Shen Fu and other Lu Hehe, you can go away." ”

Chen Caozhi said: "I want to rush to Yingchuan as soon as possible and ask Gao Taishou to send troops to Luoyang." ”

After walking for a few more miles, the full moon fell from the direction of Luoyang City, and the heavens and stars also disappeared together, and there was darkness in all directions.

Half a little more, and the hour will be dawn.

Shen Chiqian, who led the way, quietly turned to the north, and Xi Bao and the other Qin troops did not notice it, and walked in the dark for more than an hour, but they did not know that this place was close to the boundary of Yanshi County, and several scouts of Ran Sheng and Shen Chiqian went back and forth to prevent sudden encounters with the Yan army. Without saying a word, arrows rained down, which is not good.

The sky was slightly bright, and I suddenly heard someone shouting: "There is a Yan army in front of you, and there is a Yan army in front of you" Before the words fell, I heard the sound of hooves not far away, rushing forward.

Xi Bao and the others were shocked, the three hundred sergeants under his command were all cavalry, they could attack but not defend, and now there were no horses, neither could they attack, nor could they defend, so they heard a Jin soldier shouting: "Chen Oak, Xi Envoy, your horses go first, I'll wait on foot, anyway, I can't escape, fight to the death!" ”

I only heard Chen Caozhi say categorically: "How can I abandon you and others to escape alone!" ”

Although the Qin sergeants under Xi Bao resented Chen Caozhi and Shen Chiqian for putting them in a desperate situation, Chen Caozhi's refusal to escape alone made them respectful, and they only heard Chen Caozhi say loudly: "The Yan army is overwhelming, and it is a cavalry, and we can't get out of it." Don't fight hard, give your life in vain"

While speaking, the cavalry of the Yan Army galloped closer, stopped outside the place where Chen Caozhi and others were an arrow, and shouted in Luoyang Zhengyin: "Who is coming?" ”

These Yan soldiers also felt puzzled, the defenders of Luoyang were only 800 people, why would hundreds of soldiers suddenly appear here, could it be that Shen Jin, the defender of Luoyang, still wanted to attack the defense and attack the Yanshi first?

Chen Caozhi said to Xi Bao: "The matter has come to this, don't panic, the two of us are ambassadors of the festival, don't fall into the prestige of a great country, and be false and wrong." He raised his voice and said: "Chen Caozhi, the ambassador of the Great Jin Festival, is here!" ”

Shi Xibao, the head of the Qin Dynasty, had no choice but to shout: "Xi Bao, the ambassador of the Great Qin Festival, is here. ”

Yan Jun is a partial general under the account of Dazai Sima Yuexi, and also heard about the Jin envoy Chen Caozhi sent to Chang'an, Taiyuan King Murong Ke sent troops to Luoyang because Chen Caozhi wanted to tie up with Qin, I didn't think that Chen Caozhi would bump into here, this partial general was surprised and delighted, wouldn't it be a great achievement to catch Chen Caozhi, and there was also a Qin envoy

But I heard Chen Caozhi say in a loud voice: "I came here today to ask to see your king Wu."

The general of the Yan Kingdom was very surprised and asked, "What do you want to see my King of Yan Wu?" ”

Chen Caozhi said: "It's a matter of confidentiality, and it is appropriate for Feier to know, you just need to bring a message to King Wu and say that there is a gift brought by King Wu's deceased friend thirty years ago to report." ”

The matter involved General Zhengnan and King Murong Chui of Wu, and the partial general did not dare to slack off, so he hurriedly sent his henchmen back to Yanshi City to report the news, while scattering the formation. Surrounded Chen Caozhi and others, this team of Yan cavalry has 500 people, seeing that there are many people on Chen Caozhi's side, they dare not force too close, only guard by an arrow, if Chen Caozhi and others want to escape, then shoot with bows and arrows, and then chase and kill

Xi Bao asked in a low voice: "Envoy Chen, are we waiting to be killed like this?" "I was resentful in my heart, if it wasn't for Chen Caozhi who left the three hundred accompanying soldiers in Luoyang, then plus the three hundred Qin troops under him, he would be able to defeat the five hundred Yan army, and then Fang Cai would not be able to cross the river with people and horses, and he would not be able to escape when he encountered the Yan cavalry, this Chen Caozhi is a mediocre talent, His Majesty and Wang Shangshu still want to leave him in Chang'an and entrust him to a high-ranking official, it is simply a disaster for the country and the people, fortunately, this person insists on returning to China, but now he Xi Bao and these three hundred soldiers are harmed!

Chen Caozhi replied: "The enemy is outnumbered, and it is the next step to meet each other, and when I see Murong Chui, I have something to say, we are not captured." Instead, we came to see Murong Trai on purpose, and we are the messengers. ”
