Chapter 16 Ben Thunder Marksmanship Shows Divine Power Yuan Shao on the south bank of the Yellow River
However, it is said that Huang Shan used Cheng Yu's strategy to lend the army to support Liu Bei, secretly made Li Si occupy Jibei, and secretly ordered Li Si to drive the defeated troops from the plain and not let them into Lu County. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info went to the camp on the north bank of Jishui, waiting for the young emperor of the plains to pass by, in order to save the holy car, to welcome Linzi. After waiting for several days, Li Si did not come to report the whereabouts of the holy driver. Huang Shan thought to himself: Liu Bei has been defeated for a few days, and it stands to reason that he should be here, either because Cheng Yu's plan was negligent, or Guan and Zhang failed to keep the young emperor and others breaking through. Tianhua was difficult to guess at the moment, and sent heralds to Li to find out if there was any trace of the young emperor. Li Si saw the herald and ordered him to repay Huang Shan, there was no trace of Liu Bei, the young emperor, etc., only a group of more than 20 people, claiming to be the general Ban Chao from then on. When Huang Shan learned of this, he said: "Ban Chaogui is a general, and he will pass with the young emperor." Among the people in this trip, there are Liu Bei, Emperor Shao, etc., but why have they never crossed the river so far. ”
Why didn't Liu Bei and the others cross the river on the banks of the Jishui River? It's just that at that time, Lu County shot an arrow, but it hit Liu Bei in the back. Liu was wounded by an arrow, could not hurry, and did not dare to take the main road, so he chose a deserted path to walk, so he never went to the bank of the Dejishui River. was to cross the river on a small road, but on the way, Liu Bei suddenly woke up: Jibei must be occupied by Huang Shan, so he refused to let us enter the city; If this is the case, Huang Shan expects that if we want to cross the water, we will lie at the edge of the water; Jishui can't be crossed. He walked slowly along the path, and saw a village not far away, so he stayed in the village. The villagers vacated two bedrooms, the emperor and queen lived in one, Liu Bei's three brothers lived in one, and the rest slept on the ground.
Let's say that Cheng Xiangjun drove Liu Bei to the Yellow River, and saw that Liu Bei abandoned hundreds of officials and soldiers, and escaped by water. All the officials and soldiers of the plains bowed to the ground and were willing to surrender. Cheng Xiang and Yan Liang couldn't cross the river, and when they saw that it was getting late, they collected the army and brought the soldiers back to see Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao rewarded Cheng Xiang and Yan Liang again. Tian Feng said: "Although Liu Bei was defeated and his minions were eliminated, he crossed the river with the young emperor and will definitely join Jibei." If it really connects Qingzhou Huangshan, there will be endless troubles. The lord must cut the grass and eradicate the roots. Yuan Shao said: "Tian Feng's words are reasonable, tomorrow the army will go to the north, and if you don't take Liu Bei, you won't go back." It was ordered to Jiang Yiqu to build ten pontoon bridges overnight and wait for the next day to cross the river. Jiang Yiqu was ordered to go. The next day, Yuan Shaoqin led a large army across the river and went straight to Lu County, Jibei. Tanma Bao and Li Si. Li Si exclaimed: "Yuan Shao must have crossed the river to chase and kill Liu Bei." Liu Bei did not enter Delu County at this time, and it was expected that Yuan Shaoyi would not be in this city. Then he led his troops to the city to be on guard. and planted flags all over the city, bluffing. Not long after, Li Si saw Yuan Shao's army swarming from a distance in the city, and stood still an arrow away. Yuan Shao came out of his horse and raised his whip and scolded: "Sell your shoes, come out and die!" Li Si saluted on the city and said, "Duke Yuan, it's polite." Yuan Shao recognized Li Si and said: "Huang Shan is also here, why don't you show up to see him?" Li Si said: "The head of my family knows that Duke Yuan and Liu Bei are fighting. Yuan Gong is wise and invincible. Liu Bei must not be Yuan Gong's opponent. I was afraid that Liu Bei would enter Lu County first, so I was ordered to guard the city for Duke Yuan, and Liu Bei was not allowed to enter. Now that Liu Bei has gone, Yuan Gong can quickly chase him, and I should defend this city for Yuan Gong. Yuan Shao was praised by Li Si for a while, and Piao Piao didn't know why, so he ordered to bypass the city and pursue Liu Bei. After a few miles, Tian Feng arrived from the rear team and said, "The lord must not listen to this person's nonsense. Whether Liu Bei is here or not, it doesn't matter for the time being. This person occupies Lu County, and he must be sent by Huang Shan, taking advantage of the war between the lord and Liu Bei, to rob and share this cup of soup. How can such a treacherous scheme succeed? The lord and the lord look at it, the guards on the city of Lu are neatly arranged, but the flags are falsely planted, and there must be no army in the city. Why don't the lord divide an army to chase Liu Bei and leave an army to take this city. Yuan Shao was reminded by Tian Fengyi, suddenly woke up, and scolded: "Son, An dares to bully me." I will slash it alive. Then he ordered Cheng Xiang and Zhang He to divide half of the army to take Lucheng, and bring their own army to chase Liu Bei.
However, it was said that when Li Si saw Yuan Shao's army going, his heart was much more spacious, so that the fast horse was reported to Tianhua. Not long after the fast horse went out of the city, he saw Yuan Shaojun going and returning, Li Sixin secretly shouted badly, there were only 3,000 soldiers and horses in the city, how could he be the enemy. He shouted from the city: "Why did the general come back? Cheng Xiang said: "Liu Bei is a treacherous villain, Yuan Gong saw that Lu Cheng had few soldiers, and he was afraid that Liu Bei would calculate, so he sent me and others to help General Li defend the city." Li Si scolded Yuan Shao in his heart for being shameful. At the moment, he was silent, but said: "In this case, please enter the city." "After speaking, the city gate was opened.
Cheng Xiang and Zhang He saw that Li Si was defenseless, and they were overjoyed and ordered to enter the city. The two of them went to the edge of the trench, only to listen to Li Si's order, and the suspension bridge was raised. Without waiting for Cheng Xiang and Zhang He to react, Li Si ordered the arrow to be released again. Cheng Xiang and the others were caught off guard, and hurriedly used their weapons to block the arrows, and countless soldiers were hit by arrows. Li Si secretly released an arrow, which was opened and closed in the middle, but fortunately it did not hurt the vital point. After Cheng Xiangjun retreated sharply, the rain of arrows in the city stopped. Li Si shouted in the city: "Anti-thief, lead the army to rebel, expel the Son of Heaven, and dare to come and earn me." This city has been owned by Huang Qingzhou, and it will not retreat quickly, and it will be too late. Cheng Xiang wanted to besiege the city, but because he was chasing the enemy, he did not bring his baggage, and many soldiers were injured, so he ordered to retreat thirty miles to rest. The next day, Cheng Xiang surrounded Lucheng and forcibly attacked it. Li Si ordered the bow and arrow to shoot it, and then saw that the enemy army suddenly arrived, and he couldn't shoot it, so he ordered the boulders and shrubs to be thrown at him, killing countless Cheng Xiang's soldiers. Cheng Xiang erected dozens of ladders and ordered him to fight in the city. Li Si boiled it with oil and poured it. Cheng Xiang saw that he couldn't win for a long time, so with a wave of his lance, another army rushed towards Lucheng. The Lucheng guards are already missing. More than a dozen Yuan troops flew into the city and slashed the defenders. Li Si held a knife in his hand and killed several people in a row before he could fill the gap. The battle was difficult to capture the city, and the winner was not determined until dusk. Cheng Xiangnai ordered a temporary withdrawal.
Li Siru was pardoned, his body was tired, and he fell asleep. There were 3,000 defenders in this battle, more than half of the casualties, and when they came to Xiang to attack the city again, how to resist, Li Si didn't know. Li Si fell asleep fiercely at this time, and quickly recovered his strength. I had a dream at night, dreaming of my spear, dreaming that I practiced the "Benlei Marksmanship", and dreamed that the sky was coming. The day is clear, and the report comes from the left and right, and Yuan Shaojun has arrived again. Li Si squeezed out the numbers: "Order, go out of the city, line up!" He strode out with his gun and went straight to the city gate. More than 1,000 soldiers and horses were assembled. The city gate was opened, and the army rushed out of the city with Li Si to fight against Cheng Xiang. Cheng Xiang was taken aback, and said, "What do you mean?" Want to come down? Li Si said: "No, I'll take your life!" With that, Pegasus rushed out and went straight to Cheng Xiang. Cheng Xiang did not show weakness, and fought against Li Si, and his momentum was still above Li Si, so that Li Si had no power to fight back. Li Siyan couldn't resist it, and suddenly became unwilling, and "Ben Lei Marksmanship" was unconsciously used, and gradually got started. The marksmanship is awe-inspiring and the fighting spirit is monstrous; The dance is mixed with the sound of wind and thunder. In less than ten rounds, the defeat turned into victory, and Cheng Xiang was sweating profusely, Li Sida shouted, stabbed Cheng Xiang in the shoulder, and Cheng Xiang abandoned the lance and fled. Li Siyi was still unfinished, dancing into the enemy formation, clashes back and forth, if no one was in a land, there was no one under his hands, and the enemy was defeated and could not form an army, and he turned his way and abandoned his armor and fled for his life. Dozens of pro-soldiers escorted Cheng Xiang and retreated. Li Si chased twenty miles before returning. Cheng Xiang and Zhang Heer were both injured by Li Si, so they were not allowed to attack the city again. Ordered Pegasus to report to Yuan Shao.
However, he said that on the day of Tianhua, he received a report from Li Si, saying that Yuan Shao's army had arrived in Lucheng. Immediately ordered 8,000 "Yellow Army" and Xu Chu's cavalry to Lucheng for reinforcements, but they met Yuan Shao's chasing army in the middle of the road. The two armies set themselves up in the wilderness. Yuan Shao took the lead and opened his mouth to scold Huang Shan and the remnants of the Yellow Turban, which annoyed a tiger general, Xu Chu. Xu Chu danced the knife and slapped the horse out. Yuan Shaozhi was so shocked that he didn't dare to speak, and urgently ordered Yan Liang to meet the enemy. Xu Chu vs. Yan Liang, fifty rounds, no winner. Yuan Shao ordered the general Wu Qiong to go to help in the battle. Tianhua was already angry that Yuan Shao was unreasonable, but now he saw that people were attacking Xu Chu, so he slapped his horse out and intercepted Wu Qiong. Wu Qiong was Tianhua's opponent, before he could reach Sanhe, he was swept in the chest by Tianhua with a hammer, and he fell off the horse when he landed, and he bled to death in Qiqi. Tianhua also ignored Xu Chu and the others, but said Yuan Shao said: "Brother Ben, I haven't seen him for several years, why is he so widowed and wants to kill my brother?" Yuan Shao was nearly forty years old at this time, and Changtianhua was more than ten years old. Yuan Shao said: "Huangkou Ruzi, dare to calculate me, I will capture you first, and then capture Liu Bei." After saying that, he sent Wufu to battle. Tianhua saw that Wu Fu rode his horse closely, but hung up a hammer, secretly sacrificed the fire dragon dart in his hand, and hit Wu Fu in front of the door, and a dart hit, Wu Fu fell off the horse in response. Wufu war horse was frightened, stepped on it, stepped on Wufu's lower abdomen, and the internal organs flowed out on the spot, which was miserable. Yan Liang was shocked when he saw the death of the two, and went back in defeat.
Tianhua saw it, and Yu immediately said: "Brother Benchu once said that there are generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and now Yan Liang is here, why not call Wen Chou to come to the meeting?" Yuan Shao said: "Wen Chou is defending Gongsun Zan in the north, and you are bullying that there is no general in our army?" After turning his gaze, he asked who dared to capture Huang Shan. But none of the generals dared to come out. Tianhua laughed loudly and said, "Brother Benchu, there is no one in your army. Yuan Shao was furious, drew his sword and pointed directly at Tianhua and said, "Do you see my arrow as unfavorable?" Tianhua said: "Brother Benchu, do you want to fight me alone?" "Yuan Shao went forward to fight Tianhua in person, and he was defeated by Tianhua by the sword. Yuan Shao was frightened and returned to the battle. Tianhua said: "Brother Benchu, I know that you are here to find Liu Bei. Now Liu Beishi has not come here. I also hope that my brother will withdraw the army, and I will garrison my brother in Jibei. Yuan Shao returned to the battle to change his sword, and scolded Huang Shan again. Tianhua shouted: "Yuan Shao, don't be too arrogant!" "It is to order Ji Ling to lead the cavalry regiment to kill. Ji Ling took the lead, and two thousand iron horsemen followed him. Tianhua also rode into the enemy's formation, and killed Yuan Shao's soldiers on their backs, and the blood flowed like a river. Yuan Shao was defeated and retreated thirty miles. Fang stopped and just received a letter from Cheng Xiang. Yuan Shao scolded: "Cheng Xiang is waste, Zhang He is incompetent!" failed to capture the city, but was defeated by Li Sipifu. Feng Ji said: "Lord, our army was defeated by Huang Shan, presumably Huang Shan'er has already prepared, our army cannot camp with this now, it is better to return to Cheng Xiang's camp and join forces together." Take Lu Cheng first, and then break Huang Shan. Tian Feng said: "Yes, Lu County has become the end of a strong crossbow, the lord has no excuse for hard work, can make the army on the spot, eat a full meal, and then break through Lu City, according to the city to defend." Yuan Shao looked at Tian Feng and said: "The day before yesterday, you taught me to divide my troops, and today I was blocked twice. Thou hast offered thou shalt counsel also. Yuan Shao did not follow Tian Feng's plan, but led the army to join the camp of Cheng Xiang to discuss the march.
Seeing Yuan Shaojun's retreat, Tianhua said to Xu Chu: "Pass the order, go to Lucheng quickly." If Yuan Shao returns to Lucheng, Li Si will rest. The more Tianhua thought about it, the more shocked he became, and without waiting to urge the infantry, he personally led two thousand cavalry first. It was only when he met with Li Si that he learned that Yuan Shao had divided his troops to take Lucheng; Li Si used 3,000 troops to carry Cheng Xiang's army several times, and shot Zhang He with arrows and stabbed Cheng Xiang with guns. Tianhua praised Li Si: "My brother is really a tiger general!" On that day, Yuan Shao did not capture Lucheng, but joined Cheng Xiang to go there. Tianhua was frightened. In the evening of the same day, Xu Chu led 8,000 "Yellow Army" to Lucheng. The number of troops in the city increased greatly, and the morale suddenly rose. Li Siwei Tianhua said: "Yuan Shao must be on the return journey to Xiangda Ying, only thirty miles away from here." If you come to attack the city, it will come immediately, and you must prepare in advance. Tianhua said: "Why don't you and my brother go to the camp together tonight." "The agreement was decided, and each of them took a thousand soldiers and horses. Li Si said: "The east side is Cheng Xiang's old camp, and the west side must be Yuan Shao's new camp." Tianhua said: "I first led the troops to rush to kill the west camp, and the east camp will come to the rescue, and then you will set fire to the east camp, and burn all the grain and grass." Don't fall in love with the war, and withdraw as soon as the fire starts. "At that moment, Tianhua took a thousand people and killed them from the west into the camp of Yuan's army. Yuan Shao's camp was unstable, and there was chaos all of a sudden. Tianhua rushed back and forth several times and withdrew to Lucheng. Cheng Xiang in the middle of the East Camp heard the shouts of the West Camp and knew that the East Camp had changed, so he rose up with injuries, and immediately gathered soldiers and horses to rescue the West Camp. Cheng Xiang walked around, Li Si came out again, and set fire in all directions. Cheng Xiang knew the plan, returned to the army to the camp, and Li Si left again. Cheng Xiang was anxious to extinguish the fire in the camp, and most of the grain, grass, and siege materials were burned. The battalions were in chaos and shouted until dawn.
The next day, Tianhua opened a formation in front of Yuan Shaozhai, stepped forward, and asked Yuan Shao to answer. Yuan Shao hurriedly gathered the crowd to leave the village, and Zhang He, Cheng Xiang and others all came out with injuries and exhaustion. Tianhua said: "Can the first brother sleep well at night?" Yuan Shao suppressed his anger and said: "Worship the gift of the virtuous brother, I haven't slept all night." When Li Si and the others heard this, they burst into laughter. Tianhua hurriedly stopped it, and said Yuan Shao said: "I don't know if the original brother can be interested in fighting today." If you can still go into battle, the foolish brother should do his best to accompany him. If you don't want to fight, please let the foolish brother go. Yuan Shao said: "You must not underestimate me, although our army is defeated, there are still dozens of generals, tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and it is easy to break you." Tianhua pretended to be frightened, and said: "There is no doubt about my brother's strength, but I shouldn't be my brother's enemy." The enemy's brother is Gongsun Zhan. Today, it was found that Gongsun Zhan had broken Liu Yu, and Keri would definitely go south. Why did the elder brother spend time here and his younger brother, but Gongsun Chan took the lead. Don't hide it from my brother, the day before yesterday, Gongsun Chan came to envoy and asked me to attack my brother. Xu Wu divided the land of Jizhou equally. He also ordered the Black Mountain thieves to lead the crowd to respond, and they have plundered Changshan, Zhongshan and other places. The foolish brother couldn't bear to destroy his brother, so he persuaded his brother to return to the army, exterminate Gongsun Zhan, Zhang Niujiao and others, and I guarded Jibei for my brother. Yuan Shao retreated slightly for Tianhua's words, and hesitated at the moment. Tianhua turned around and gestured towards Xu Chu. Xu Chu ordered to rush out and shouted: "Xu Zhongkang is here, Yuan Shaona is here!" "The shouting is like thunder, not under Zhang Fei. After saying that, Yuan Shao rushed forward. Yuan Shao was taken aback, stepped back and left. So all the armies and the generals looked west together. There are countless people who abandon their guns and helmets, and people are like a tide, horses are like landslides, and they trample on each other. Seeing that the fighter was rare, Tianhua ordered to chase and kill. Xu Chu and the others will compete to hunt down Yuan Shao first. Yuan Shao and others abandoned the camp and looked at the Yellow River, and were driven to the bank of the Yellow River by Xu Chu, with only more than 100 horsemen left. Xu Chu slashed and killed several people, and when he saw Yuan Shao crossing the river, he stopped chasing and led the army back. Tianhua ordered to move all the things in Yuan Shao's military camp back to Lucheng. When Li Si came to report, he obtained nearly 10,000 prisoners and surrendered troops in Yuan Shao's camp before they could escape. The Tianhua order was driven back to Linzi. Yuan Shao's army was completely defeated in this battle, and he could not recover his vitality in a short period of time. Tianhua then left Li Si to lead 10,000 troops to guard both sides of the Jishui River, and searched for the whereabouts of Liu Bei and the Young Emperor along the Jishui. Bring the rest of the army back to Linzi.
