Chapter 56 Chen Gong's clever plot in Xuzhou Huang Shan faked to defend Xiapi

However, it was said that Yuan Tan and Liu made an appointment to attack Gongsun Zhan. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoYan Rou has been back with the letter for a few days. Yuan Tan got a report, and Liu He led the crowd to attack Youbeiping. Gongsun Chan is leading troops to rescue. Yuan Tan was overjoyed and ordered the soldiers and horses to march north to Fanyang. Gongsun Zhan had no choice but to abandon Youbeiping and return to the army to save Fan Yang. Therefore, Liu He easily won the right Beiping. When Gongsun Chan arrived at Fan Yang, Fan Yang had already been captured by Yuan Tan. Gongsun Zhan drove his troops to attack the city, wanting to recover Fan Yang. was defeated by Fengji's design. Zan had no choice but to retreat to Yuyang. At this time, Liu Hezheng led the troops to come, and the two joined forces together to go to Yuyang to exterminate Gongsun Zhan. Chan can't hold on. Yuan Tanling surrounded Yuyang. It went on for months. The grain and grass in Yuyang City were exhausted early, and Gongsun Zan ordered to rob the grain of the Lu family, a wealthy household in Yuyang. Unexpectedly, the news was leaked and was known by the Lu family. At night, the Lu family led the family to be strong, opened the west gate, and set fire to the city. Outside the city, Yuan Jun saw it and rushed into the city. Gongsun Zhan and the others were caught off guard and were all captured by Yuan Junsheng. When Zhao Yun was about to break through, he was blocked by Wen Chou, Zhang He and others. Zhao Yun was outnumbered and captured by Wen Chousheng. Yuan Tan recruited. Zhao Yun does not fall. Yuan Tan repeatedly persuaded him. Zhao Yun was grateful and surrendered. After Gongsun Zhan was beheaded by Liu He, he was released back into the wild to feed the wolves. The rest all fell to Yuan Tan. Yuan Tan ordered Liu He to guard Fan Yang and bring his own army to reply to the letter. Within a few days, there was good news that Gao Gan captured Taiyuan. Since then, the three states of Hebei, Merge, and Youyou have all been attributed to Yuan Tan. Suddenly, an envoy came from Huainan. Yuan Tan saw it. The envoy issued the decree of Yuan Shu in Huainan, named Yuan Tan as the Marquis of Maocheng, conquered the general of the Northern Great, and led the pastor of Hebei, He, and You.

It turned out that Emperor Yuan Shu was in Huainan, thinking that he could be proud of the others, first the Liu, Huang and Lu coalition forces crusaded, and then the expedition to Mount Tai was defeated, and then on the Yangtze River for a while. In the Huainan Palace, Yuan Shu jumped like thunder and reprimanded: "I am the lord of the world, and I am blessed in all directions, why do all the princes turn their backs on me?" "The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, no one dares to answer. Suddenly, there was a report from Malay, and his nephew Yuan Tan successively defeated Zhang Yan and Gongsun Zhan, and there were already three states of Hebei, and You. Yuan Shu was angry and scolded: "My defeat, how can I be laughed at by Yuan Tanshuzi!" "Order the general to behead the sentinel. Changshi Yang Hong admonished: "Your Majesty is at ease." I have a word that I can't help but say. Yuan Shu said: "What do you say? Quick talk. Yang Hong said: "Your Majesty and Yuan Tan are uncles and nephews. Now His Majesty is respected as the emperor, and Yuan Tan should be the emperor's nephew. Now it sweeps across the north, opening up territory for His Majesty. Yuan Shu said: "When his father is here, he and I will become fire and water." Now that he is self-reliant, how can he obey my orders? Yang Hong said: "Your Majesty, why don't you crown him as a reward." In addition, since Gu Shu, the uncle is the emperor, and the son and nephew are the marquis. Yuan Shuran made a decree to canonize Yuan Tan. Yuan Tan thought day and night about avenging his father, and wanted to borrow the power of Yuan Shu, so he accepted it.

Yuan Shu canonized himself to reward Yuan Tan, and he couldn't help but be complacent, enjoying himself in the harem, and not going to court for a long time. One day, the chief bookkeeper Li Feng came to see him. Yuan Shu saw it. Li Feng said: "Recently, after Lu Bu defeated Liu Bei, Yu Xiaopei collected grain and grass, which seems to have the intention of Xuzhou. But because Huang Shan had lived in Xuzhou for a long time and had not returned, he hesitated. The minister thought that if His Majesty could add Lu Bu to Xuzhou Mu, he would strengthen Lu Bu's wild heart. If the two families are at war, Your Majesty will be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman! When Yuan Shu heard this, he praised it and praised Li Feng's strategy. Li Feng said: "This is not my plan? Yuan Shu asked, "Whose plan is this?" Feng said: "This is the plan of the original squire Yan Xiang!" Yuan Shu was suspicious and asked, "Where is Yan Xiang?" Feng said: "I have been imprisoned for one year by His Majesty!" Yuan Shufang thought about the matter of imprisoning Yan Xiang a few years ago. The herald summoned the Yan Xiang. Brought by the elephant in a moment. Yuan Shu gave him a seat and asked, "What happened today, I don't know what Yan Qing thinks?" Yan Xiang said: "Although the minister lives in prison, he does not dare to forget His Majesty's affairs. Now a number of heroes are rising, and if Your Majesty wants to lead Kyushu, he must first map Xuzhou. Then connect the people of Hebei and attack Qingzhou together. If Qingzhou is obtained, the rest of the princes can be broken one by one. Yuan Shu was overjoyed, ordered Yan Xiang to be released, and the official was reinstated. He also accepted Yan Xiang's plan and canonized Lu Bu as the pastor of Xuzhou.

Lu Bu was rewarded by Yuan Shu, and he strengthened his heart to take Xuzhou. Strategist Chen Gongjin said: "This must be Yuan Shu's plan to provoke the war between the Lu and Huang families." Lu Huang fought a battle, and he was sitting together to reap the benefits. Lu Bu said: "I want to take Xuzhou for a long time, and it has nothing to do with Yuan Shu." Yuan Shu puppet emperor, if he can settle down, he will stay for a day; If you don't measure yourself, even Huainan will take it together. So he didn't listen to Chen Gong's words, and regarded himself as a pastor in Xuzhou, raising troops and training generals, and preparing to go. After the autumn harvest in the East China Sea, Cheng Lian purchased grain and grass and reported it to Lu Bu. Lu Bu hurriedly gathered the crowd to discuss the raid on Xuzhou. Chen Gong also admonished: "Huang Shan has won the land of Xuzhou, and the soldiers are wide, and it is difficult to defeat the enemy." Yuan Shu is not sympathetic to the people's feelings, and the people rebel and leave, which has become the end of the strong crossbow. When Yuan Shu is cut down first, and the land of Huainan is seized, so as to compete with the princes of the world. Lu Bu said proudly: "Huang Shan'er was in charge of Xuzhou for the first time, and the public opinion was not smooth, so it was a good fit." Besides, I have henchmen there, and I can respond internally. Why worry about big things! Chen Gong couldn't resist Lu Bu, and said: "If the general really wants to take Xuzhou, he should take Pi first." If Xia Pi is lost, Huang Shan will lead troops to rescue. The general can secretly adjust all the way, bypass Xiapi, and attack Xuzhou. Respond to the people in the city and open the city gate, then Xuzhou can be obtained. If it is not saved, it can be obtained by the next Pi. When Lu Bu heard Chen Gong's words, he was overjoyed, and he raised 35,000 soldiers and horses in the East China Sea, with Gao Shun and Cao Xing as generals, Chen Gong as the marching Sima and joined the army, and became the governor of Lian to conquer Xuzhou. At that time, Zhang Liao and Song Xian were stationed in Xiaopei and did not go with them.

Lu Bu's soldiers moved quickly, and within a few days, they went down to more than ten cities. Xiapi Taishou Chen reported to Xuzhou urgently. Tianhua gathered Xuzhou civil and military to discuss the military. Tianhua said angrily: "Lu Bu is a wolf, and the former used troops without authorization, expelled Liu Bei, and did not ask him about his crimes. He is not self-contained, and he is looking for trouble, and he really regards me Huang Shan as nothing! Tai Shi Ci said: "Lu Bu has been raising troops for a long time, and he must come prepared, and he must not rush into the army." Tianhua said: "Chen Ying is in an emergency in Xiapi, and An Neng will not be saved." Then he raised troops to save Pi. When Lu Bu heard that Huang Shan raised troops to rescue him, he also led the army to counter. The two armies met and put on a big formation. Under the banner of the door, Tianhua came out of the horse and said: "Lu Wenhou, you and I are guarding Xuzhou together, why do you meet each other in arms." Wen Hou has repeatedly received the great grace of the Tao envoy, but he provoked the war in Xuzhou, causing all the people of Xuzhou to suffer, and he was ashamed to be born in heaven and earth! When Lu Bu heard this, he was ashamed and anxious to order Cao Xing to fight. On the Xuzhou battlefield, Yan Liang danced the knife and followed. There were thirty rounds of fighting, and Cao Xing was defeated and returned to the battle. Lu Bu was furious, lifted Fang Tian's halberd, kicked away the wind-tearing red rabbit horse, and came to the enemy Yan Liang. The two generals fought for 50 rounds, and the outcome was undecided. On the battlefield in Xuzhou, Tai Shi Ci saw it, and danced his spear to help in the battle. The two generals of Xuzhou fought against Lu Bu for nearly 100 rounds and could not win. Seeing this, Tianhua was very anxious, lest the two would be lost. I saw that I fought for another 20 rounds, but I still couldn't win. Tianhua finally took out the double hammer, shouted forward, and fought Lu Bu in three years. After about thirty rounds, Lu Bu couldn't parry, so he hurriedly sold a flaw and fled back to the formation. The three of Tianhua chased after him. At this time, Cao Xing had been defeated for several breaths, and his strength had returned, and he suddenly saw Huang Shan and others chasing after Lu Bu. Busy taking bows and arrows, shoot straight at Huang Tianhua. Tianhua only cared about chasing Lu Bu, never guarded, was hit by an arrow, and fell under the horse. Yan Liang and Tai Shici were shocked, and hurriedly returned to the horse to save Tianhua and return to the battle. Lu Bu took advantage of the situation to drive his troops to kill. The Xuzhou army was in chaos and was killed by Lu Bu for a while. Fortunately, Chen Ying led troops to rescue Ying. The defeated army retreated to the city. Tai Shi Ci urgently ordered the day to heal and heal his injuries. If the arrow is taken out in a moment, it only hurts the muscles and bones, and does not hinder life.

But it was said that Cao Xing's arrow made Lu Bu turn defeat into victory. Lu Bu was even more imposing. Lead the troops to fight under the city. In Xiapi City, no one has ever engaged in a battle because of the injuries caused by the sky. Lu Bu was scolded again, but there was still no response in the city. Bu was furious and drove his troops to attack the city. Tai Shi Ci and others designed to stick to it. Lü Bu lost countless troops and could not break the city. Suddenly remembered Chen Gong's plan, but recruited him and said: "The public platform persuaded me the day before yesterday to take Pengcheng, and today is in line with it." Don't know where to go? Chen Gong said: "Gao Shun can take on this responsibility!" Lu Bu then called Gao Shunzhi and said so. Gao Shun received the order, and led the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to go happily.

The cloth military retreated, and Ci waited to sue Tianhua. Tianhua looked up and smiled and said: "If I miss the plot of the puppet, I will repay it!" Yan Liang said: "The plan can be sent quickly." Tianhua said: "Today, I will only calculate: I was shot by Cao Xing and died." Bubi led his troops to attack. Lure it into the city, and attack it with an ambush, and then Bu can be captured. Tai Shi Ci said: "This plan is very good! Then he called the loyal and righteous sergeants in the army, turned into Xuzhou soldiers, absconded from the city, and said that Huang Shan was dead. The next day, the patrol officers of the Bu army captured the fake soldiers and relieved them in Lü Bu. Bu asked, "Who are you taking?" The sergeant said: "It's all a fine work!" The soldiers said: "Ming is open, we are Xuzhou soldiers, and we will follow Huang Shan to guard Xiapi." The day before yesterday, the general was shot and died when he returned to the city. After the city was endangered, he defended the city with Taishi Ci. Now that Picheng is about to be broken, we are here to ask for surrender. When Lu Bu heard that Huang Shan was dead, he was overjoyed and urgently called Chen Gong to discuss. Chen Gong said: "Huang Shan is cunning, I am afraid it is a plan." Lu Bu ordered the sentry to look around. Soon the sentinel came to report, and the Chinese army in Xiapi City was disheartened, and there were many deserters. Chen Gong still didn't believe it. Lu Bu also ordered Xizuo to sneak into the city to spy on it. A few days later, I came to report that the inner fruit of the government was the secret cloth spirit hall. Lu Bu firmly believed in it, and ordered the military horses to attack Xiapi at night. Cao Xing led an army to attack the south gate, Chen Gong to attack the north gate, and led an army to attack the west gate. When the army arrived at the city, they seized the city and attacked. All three doors were broken. The three-way army and horses will be in the city and rush to the palace. When he arrived at the palace, he suddenly heard a cannon shot, and fires lit up on all sides. Lu Bu knew the plan and shouted: "Retreat!" "Fight everywhere. In the middle of the night, I don't know how many of them, but I heard the screams that were shocking. Lu Bu's army was in chaos and could not resist the enemy. In the firelight, Tai Shici and Yan Liang killed from the left and right. Lu Bu said to Chen Gong and Cao Xing: "The two of them divide the enemy!" ”。 Chen and Cao led their troops to go, but they were all defeated. Cao Xing was captured by Taishi Cisheng. Chen Gong was shot by a stray arrow and died in the chaos. Lu Bu looked back left and right, and shouted: "Those who want to live, you can break through with me!" Seeing that there were few soldiers in the east, he fought hard to kill a bloody road and went to the east gate. I saw that the east gate was closed. Lu Bu jumped on the city tower, and the horse jumped down. It's a pity that a red rabbit god horse fell into a blur of flesh and blood and died on boarding. Lu Bu discarded Fang Tian's halberd and armor and fled to the East China Sea on foot. The generals led by Lu Bu were all captured. Tianhua took it as a precursor and recaptured the Lu Bu camp. Countless grains and grasses were obtained. Tianhua was about to collect troops, and suddenly Cheng Lian escorted grain and grass from the East China Sea. Tianhua ordered the soldiers to lie in wait behind the camp. Wait for it to be cheap. Celestial Destruction is slaughtered on all sides. Cheng Lian was caught off guard and abandoned the grain and left. Tianhua seized all the cheap grain and grass, and collected the army and returned to the city. The sergeant escorted Cao Xingzhi. Celestial conquest. Cao Xing swore not to surrender. Tianhua ordered Cao Xing to be taken to Pengcheng for imprisonment.

However, it was said that Gao Shun led an army to attack Xuzhou. Approaching Pengcheng, people go to the city to contact Neiying. and let him go into the night, and see the fire in the city to act. At three minutes of night, the city gate was on fire. Gao Shun hurriedly led the army outside the city. I saw that the city gate was wide open, and Gao Shun drove his troops into the city. Approaching the city gate, he suddenly saw the city gate reopened, and the drawbridge was pulled up. Gao Shun didn't know why, and shouted: "Why did the city gate open and reopen." He replied, "Where are you waiting?" Gao Shun said: "I am a general under Tai Shi Ci's account, and I will buy weapons in Pengcheng." When the soldiers defending the city heard this, they all laughed. One person stood on the battlements, and it was Zhao Dashun, the former Guangling Taishou. Da Shun held a head in his hand, still went outside the city, and shouted: "Cao Bao is rebellious, and now he has been awarded the head!" Are you still delusional about going into the city? Gao Shun looked at the head, and if it was Cao Bao, he was furious and hurriedly led his troops to rush to the city. Arrows rained down on the city. Gao Shun couldn't get close, so he had to lead his troops back. It turned out that after Lu Bu arrived in Xuzhou, he married Cao Bao's daughter. Therefore, he colluded with Lu Bu and was willing to take Xuzhou for internal response. Unexpectedly, when Huang Shan ran down Pi, he had already transferred Dashun back to Pengcheng to defend. Da Shun took on a big responsibility at the beginning and did not dare to relax; It is fortified day and night to prevent changes. At night, Cao Bao raised an incident at the city gate. Zhao Dashun hurriedly got on his horse and went to the city tower. I saw that Cao Bao had occupied the city gate. Zhao Dashun led his troops to kill the city tower from the inside. It was arson by Cao Bao. Da Shun was furious and danced a gun to fetch Cao Leopard. Cao Bao was caught off guard and was stabbed to death by Da Shun. Dashun took Cao Bao's head, killed the remnants, and recaptured the city gate. In the end, Gao Shun's army turned clever plans into empty words.

Gao Shun's night attack on the city failed, and he folded Cao Bao's internal response and retreated fifty miles. Left and right persuaded him to say: "Today's rapid attack will not succeed, and the internal response will be defeated again, it is better to retreat, meet with Wenhou, and then make progress." Gao Shun said: "Today, Huang Shan drove the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou to Xiapi, and the defense in the city was insufficient. If you take advantage of this time to break the city, Wenhou will have a big deal. So he did not listen to the advice, and set up camp fifty miles outside the city of Peng. On the one hand, he asked people to report to Lu Bu, and on the other hand, he cut down big trees and built more than ten ladders. The ladder was completed, and Gao Shun hurriedly exhausted the soldiers and horses in the camp and went to Pengcheng to fight. In Pengcheng, Zhao Dashun asked everyone how to resist the enemy. Chen Deng, the son of Chen Qi, said: "The enemy attacks and I defend, and the enemy retreats and I attack!" Therefore, Gao Shun was allowed to scold outside, but he couldn't stick to it. Gao Shun had no choice but to trap the soldiers in the camp, climb the ladder to fight, and attack the city. Cao Hong, Zhao Dashun and others all went to the city tower to defend against the enemy. After the direct battle until the afternoon, more than ten ladders in Gaoshun were all destroyed, and they still could not be overcome. Then he ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops. Gao Shun retreated before the military. The gate of Pengcheng suddenly opened, and Zhao Dashun led the army to kill and went straight to Gao Shun's rear team. Gao Shun returned to the army to fight, but was defeated by Da Shun. was chased by Dashun for a while, but countless soldiers and horses were broken, and he retreated to the camp. Dashun killed for a while, and saw Gao Shun go away, but he didn't return to the city, so he went to Gao Shun's camp to find it. Gao Shun returned to the camp, the sergeant was tired, and he had just had a little rest, and was about to make a fire, but was found by Da Shun. Dashun couldn't help but say, and when he entered from all sides, he set fire to the tent. Gao Shunjun's heart was disheartened, and most of the people surrendered. Along the way, more than ten rode to the right of the village. is encountering Dashun blocking the way. Gao Shun was furious and danced a spear to fight Dashun. Two horses intersect. Before the triple, Gao Shun stumbled his front hooves and fell to the ground. The Dashun sergeants swarmed up, captured Gao Shun, and brought him back to the city. Dashun returned to the city victoriously, and hurried to hurry down to report the victory.

Tianhua and others defeated Lu Bu, and people were asking around to find out about Lu Bu's whereabouts, and suddenly got a report that Gao Shun attacked Pengcheng. Everyone persuaded Tianhua to return to the army. Tianhua said: "Gao Shun rushed to attack Pengcheng, there must be an internal response." Whether it is successful or not, it has become a fixed number. It's too late to save at this time! Besides, I have Zhao Dashun in Pengcheng, and Cao Hong, Chen Deng, etc., who defend the city, may not be lost. Everyone was panicking. A few days later, there was good news that Zhao Dashun had captured Gao Shun alive. All the generals are happy.
