Chapter 269 Wen Qian sent troops to defeat Zong Cheng, and Hou Cheng recommended himself to accept Bodao

In the above book, it is mentioned that Le Jin and Le Wenqian led the troops out of the city to fight Zongcheng.

Zong Cheng was young and vigorous, and when he saw Xiahou Dun's defeat, he thought that there were no people in Cao's army who could fight, and he was also suspected of competing for ability. And some of the pro-army lieutenants gathered around him are also young generals, all of whom are competing to win.

Outside the city, there was no movement for a long time, they thought that Cao Ren in the city did not dare to fight, and they were blindly arrogant in their hearts.

Man is this kind of animal, he cannot clearly grasp his own ability, and he is blind and arrogant; But he knew nothing about the enemy's situation, and thought that he was far inferior to himself.

This is the case with Zongcheng.

In recent years, Liu Beijun has rarely been defeated, which has made the generals in the army gradually develop an arrogant character.

Suddenly, a soldier shouted, "General, the gates of the city are open!" ”

"The gates are open?!" Zong Cheng looked up, and sure enough, the city gate was wide open, and a sentry horse rushed out from inside.

Someone has finally come up to the fight!

Master can finally leave a mark in the credit book today!

The color of excitement suddenly overflowed on his face, he clenched the long knife in his hand, and said in a deep voice to the generals behind him: "You will press the formation again for me, and wait for this general to take the head of the enemy general!" ”

"General, the coming general is Cao Cao's veteran Le Jin Le Wenqian. This person's martial arts are extraordinary, and he is a talent of Shangjiang! Engage in battle, and the general must not underestimate the enemy! The adjutant next to him admonished.

Zong Cheng looked at the general in front of the enemy formation, medium build, not very broad shoulders with two pieces of shoulder armor, a pleated chain mail on his body, a helmet covering the Doushi Washa, and a jet-black spear in his palm. Looking at his face again, the face of the Chinese character is slightly long, and the thick eyebrows are a little gray, just like his father, and the deep wrinkles set off have already told everyone how many vicissitudes they have experienced in the years......

"Cao Jun is gone! Sent a veteran to fight?! Zong Cheng slapped his horse out and shouted.

Hearing this, the soldiers behind laughed.

Le Jin pulled the horse and grabbed the gun, and said sharply: "Little doll, dare to go into battle if the smell of milk is dry, do your parents know?" Go back quickly, lest you lose your life at a young age, and only make your parents sad! ”

"You're ......!" Hearing Le Jin insulting himself, where could Zong Cheng stand it, he screamed, and the prancing horse slashed his knife and drove Le Jin directly.

Among the people of the same period, Le Jin is indeed the oldest, only one or two years older than Cao Cao, and he is more than fifty years old! As the saying goes, old age is not a failure.

But a person who practices martial arts, fifty years old is not considered old, his strength has not diminished, and he is already quite experienced!

Therefore, Zong Cheng despised Lejin, which naturally doomed him to failure. He was provoked by Le Jin's words, became angry, lost his mind, and naturally fell into the inferior position.

Seeing that the kid on the other side was annoyed and angry, Le Jin was secretly happy in his heart, and the hairy boy couldn't stand three or two sentences and lost his mind! See how the old man cleans you up? Even if you don't dare to be so presumptuous in front of me, today the old man will take your sacrificial flag!

After thinking about it, the veteran Lejin changed his marksmanship, picked up the big knife in Zong Cheng's hand, and said: "Boy, the old man didn't rest well yesterday, and he can't do his best today, how about fighting again after I rest?" When he finished speaking, he fled.

Zong Cheng has just been pressed and beaten, and at first glance, he saw that Le Jin fell into a disadvantage, but when he saw that he was going to escape, where would he do it?

I saw him riding behind, and he didn't let go.

Le Jin secretly turned his head, Shang looked at it, and when he saw that he had really caught up, he couldn't help grinning, and said secretly: "Silly boy, it's so easy to be fooled??" Watch me return to the carbine! ”

Seeing that Zong Cheng was getting closer and closer, he suddenly turned his head, stepped forward with his left hand, twisted his right hand suddenly, and the spear pierced Zong Cheng's heart like a poisonous snake.

"Huh?!" Zong Cheng, who was excited, never thought that Le Jin would win in defeat, looking at the oncoming spear, he knew that he couldn't parry, so he had to dodge to the side.

However, Lejin's spear came too quickly, how could Zong Cheng dodge?

This shot stabbed into Zong Cheng's left arm.

A good Zongcheng, he screamed out in pain, "oops", then gritted his teeth, shook his shoulder, flicked his horse, and ran away!

Let's take a look, good guy, the adaptability is really strong! Can you endure this?! No, we can't let him escape!

"Soldiers, kill me!" He pulled his horse, pointed his spear forward, and shouted.

"Kill!" Three thousand soldiers rushed forward with shouts in unison.

Looking at Zong Cheng again, he had already hung the long knife on the victory hook, pressed the wound on his left arm with his right hand, and hurriedly shouted to the deputy general: "Retreat, retreat quickly!" ”

"Quick, cover the general's retreat! I'll break it off. The adjutant said hurriedly.

What a wise and alert lieutenant, now the rear is still encamped, once he is released, the consequences will be unimaginable!

This lieutenant's surname is Wang, his name is Ping, and he is no more than 20 years old. This person enlisted in the army at the age of eighteen, was alert, and was appreciated by his superiors, and even listened to the errand in front of Pang Tong's account, and he became a thousand-person general in two years, and he has been by Zong Cheng's side for half a year.

There is also a record of this person in the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms:

Wang Ping (?-248) Zijun, also known as He Ping, was a famous general in the late Shu Kingdom. The year of birth is unknown, according to the "Three Kingdoms: The Biography of Wang Ping", Wang Ping lived in the family of his maternal grandfather He since he was a child, and his surname was He, so some historical books call Wang Ping "He Ping". When he grew up, he reverted to the surname "Wang".

In the eleventh year of Yanxi (248), Wang Ping died, and his son Wang Xun was the heir. In that year, Wang Ping was a native of Hanchang in the same county, loyal and brave, generous, and repeatedly made military exploits, and his reputation and title were slightly inferior to Wang Ping. Later, there were Zhang Yi and Liao Hua as generals.

However, it was said that Wang Ping sent 50 cavalry to escort Zong Cheng, and then went straight to Lejin with a gun to stop the pursuers.

However, Lejin Xinsheng had strong morale and completely suppressed Wang Ping.

Wang Ping is young and weak, and he is not Lejin's opponent, completely relying on his ruthlessness, he is inseparable from Lejin.

Besides, Zong Cheng sowed a line of blood and fled back to the camp.

The soldier guarding the camp saw it and hurriedly reported to Zongbao, who had just returned to the tent.

Hearing this, Zong Bao was taken aback.

If the enemy takes advantage of the situation to kill, won't they lose their camp?

In a hurry, he didn't even wear a split, he directly grabbed the big gun, came to the tent, led the war horse, and ordered the assembly.

Hurriedly gathered a group of soldiers and horses, and he rushed out of the camp with them.

Cao Ren and Sima Yi, who were far away in the city, saw this scene and knew that they couldn't go any further.

"Mingjin!" Cao Ren glanced at Sima Yi knowingly, and when he saw the latter nodding, he ordered.

"Boom long ......" a gong sounded.

Le Jin, who was in the battle, forced Wang Ping away and said: "Junior, this is the end of today, and your head will be taken in the coming day!" ”

Wang Ping, who was already tired and out of breath, also fought back not to be outdone: "Old horseman, your people are afraid that you can't hold on to such old bones, so that's why Mingjin!" ”

"Junior, don't be so fast, the old man will go!" Le Jin turned around the dock and shouted, "Withdraw!" ”

As soon as the sound of gold sounded, the soldiers had already separated.

When he saw that the Lord was about to retreat, he also withdrew.

Looking at the retreating Lejin, Wang Ping often breathed a sigh of relief.

"Vice General Wang, thanks to you!"

At this time, Zongbao arrived with his men.

"It turned out that the general led the troops to reinforce, no wonder Lejin retreated!" Wang Ping propped up his tired body and gave Zong Bao a salute.

Zong Bao held Wang Ping and said with concern: "Vice General Wang is tired!" I really didn't expect you to resist Lejin! Amazing! After saying that, he led everyone back to the barracks.

Back in the barracks, Zong Bao saw Zong Cheng, who had already been bandaged, and immediately sank his face, suddenly grabbed the shocking wood on the case, "snapped" the table, and shouted: "Bold Zongcheng, if you can know the guilt?" ”

Frightened by this sound, Zong Cheng hurriedly knelt in front of the case, lowered his head and said, "The last general will be guilty!" ”

"What crime? Speaking of which. ”

"Flouting military rules and attacking rashly."

"Where is Jun Cao?"

"So-and-so."

"What should we do with this crime?"

"A hundred rods."

"Come on, drag Zong Cheng out and deal with it according to military law."

As soon as they heard that they were going to be punished with a hundred rods, all the generals did not change their color, and several people exchanged glances, and knelt down in front of the case: "Please give the general a mercy outside the law, you can't beat it!" ”

"Everyone is equal before military law. Why can't you fight? Zong Bao was unmoved.

Wang Ping said: "General, the battle between the two armies today is the time to use troops. If these two hundred military sticks go down, the young general will have to stay in bed for half a month! ”

"Since you have violated military regulations, you still have to bear the price! Zongcheng, are you convinced? Zong Bao shook his head, still looking at Zong Cheng with an iron-faced and selfless look.

"The last general has violated military rules and is willing to be punished." Zong Cheng lowered his head and said.

"But general, the young general still has injuries on his body!" Several lieutenants said one after another.

In fact, Zong Bao couldn't bear it, especially the usual relationship between father and son was very deep. However, in the face of military law, he was not allowed to find the slightest personal relationship.

In spite of the pleading and pleading of the generals, he rebuked his son with the rod.

As for Wang Ping, he gave high praise.

Subsequently, he sent someone to send Guan Yu a battle report......

At the same time, east of Luoyang, in the large tent of the Chinese army in the camp of Guan Yu.

After the case of the middle marshal, this general wearing a green scarf, wearing a cyan robe, his face was as red as fire, lying on silkworm eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and five long hairs hung on his chest.

The one who was sitting with his hands hanging down was holding a feather fan, and he shook it gently, naturally it was Zhuge Kongming, the marching division and Lord Zuo Guangluxun.

The people standing on both sides were Anxi General Sun Guan, Pingbei General Sun Kang, Cavalry General Cao Xing, Fencai General Hou Cheng, Yangwei General Xijie, Guan Ping (Guan Yu's eldest son), Xian Rong (the nephew of the judge), Fu Hu (the eldest son of Fu Zhu), Zhu Han, Meng Dai, Feng Li, Chang Lin, Sun Yu (Sun Guan's son), Sun Tian (Sun Kang's son), Cao Cheng (Cao Xing's son), Hou Yuan (Hou Cheng's son), Hope (Xijie's son) and other generals.

In the big tent, kneeling was a soldier who looked like a horse. I only heard him say: "General Qiyu, Quyang Hou Gaogan led troops and horses to Jiguan, but was blocked by Hao Zhao!" ”

"Hao Zhao?" Guan Yu frowned, and then asked Xiang Zhuge Liang, "Kong Ming, do you know this person?" ”

Zhuge Liang also stopped the feather fan in his hand, his face became solemn, and said, "This person is amazing!" If this person guards Jiguan, it is indeed difficult to rely on Gao Yuanbo's department! ”

Guan Yu saw that even Zhuge Liang had no choice, and suddenly lost his temper and stopped making a sound.

At this time, Hou Cheng, the general of the Fencai, stepped forward and said loudly: "General, why don't you let the last general try?" ”

"What is General Hou's clever plan?" Guan Yu asked.

Hou Cheng replied: "In his early years, he served under the command of Ding Envoy Jun and had a relationship with Hao Zhao's father. Hao Zhao is very filial, if he can convince his father, he should be able to make him come down! ”

"That's great!" Guan Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, turned his head to look at Zhuge Liang and asked, "What does Kong Ming think?" ”

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "The soldiers who surrender without a fight are also the best strategy!" Without further ado, I also asked General Hou to go quickly. ”

"Good! Thou hast gone to the quartermaster, prepared a gift, and set out quickly! Guan Yu commanded.

"No!" Hou Cheng agreed, turned around and left.

As mentioned in the book, this Hou Cheng and Hao Zhao's father Hao Fang are both soldiers under Ding Yuan's sect and are under the jurisdiction of Lu Bu.

Hao Fang is bold and informal, but he has a big problem. It's just that I can't get used to seeing those people who are higher than myself flying high, and I can't stand being called around by these people.

Therefore, Lu Bu was very unhappy with him.

One day, several soldiers under Hao Fang's command secretly robbed the people's things and were sued to Hao Fang.

Hao Fang usually calls these soldiers brothers and sisters, and he is very temperamental.

As soon as he heard about the mistakes made by these people, he said directly: "What a big deal!" Make up for those rations in the army! ”

He's fine!

But the small-bellied people he usually offended grabbed this handle, how could they let him go easily? It soon reached Lu Bu's ears.

Who is Lu Bu?

That's also a person who is calculating and has a small belly? Otherwise, he wouldn't end up with a ruined family!

After getting the news, Lu Bu sent Hao Yin to lead people to arrest Hao Fang.

On weekdays, the relationship between Hao Yin, Hao Fang and Hou Cheng is very good. Hao Yin knew that if Hao Fang fell into the hands of Lu Bu, it must be the result of ten deaths and nine injuries. However, if you lead your troops to arrest him, there is no way to save him!

In a hurry, he thought of Hou Cheng.

Although Hou Cheng is also a soldier under Lu Bu, he is very close to Ding Yuan, as long as Ding Yuan can be asked to intercede, this matter will be easy to do.

At that moment, he sent someone to inform Hou Cheng.

Human life is a major matter, and they are good friends! Hou Cheng immediately found Ding Yuan.

"Envoy-sama, it's not good! Something big is coming! He ran into Ding Yuan's mansion and shouted from a distance.

Ding Yuan looked at him puzzled and asked, "Why are you so flustered?" ”

He told Hao Fang and Lu Bu about it like this, and said that Lu Bu had always wanted to do something about Hao Fang.

When Ding Yuan heard it, isn't this nonsense? Wouldn't it be enough to punish those soldiers? Is Hao Fang doing this to appease the people?

After thinking about it, he said to Hou Cheng: "I know, you retreat." ”

"No!" Hou Cheng didn't dare to say more, so he had to retreat.

I heard Ding Yuan say to Zhang Liao behind him: "Wen Yuan, you go and tell Feng Xian to bring Hao Fang here." ”

……

In this way, Hou Cheng saved Hao Fang's life......
