Early the next morning, Wadang, the king of Wuhu, ordered the Wuhu barbarians to assemble the barbarian army. It lasted for more than a month, and each Dong barbarian leader successively led 120,000 troops to the city. In November of the second year of Xingping, the barbarian king Wadang raised a total of 80,000 barbarian soldiers, including the Dong lord Xian Zhi, Yixi, Nong Zhiyu, and Wei He as generals.

Wadang immediately gathered the barbarian soldiers, and summoned all the generals and the neighbors to discuss sending troops. When Wadang saw that all the generals had arrived, he said: "We have gathered 80,000 troops, wave the army out of the mountain, take Bushan first, and deal a fatal blow to the Han army." All the generals responded violently, only Huan Lin said loudly: "The king can't, Bushan City is high and deep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if the army is difficult for a while, then Wang Hao will lead reinforcements to, then it will not only take time, but also fear of destruction." ”

After hearing this, Wadang immediately asked, "If this is the case, where does Mr. Huan think he should take it first?" Huan Lin said: "Now Wang Hao led the army to station in Linchen, wanting to take Jiaozhi." We can take Anguang first, cut off Wang Hao's north-south exchanges, leave an army to defend Anguang, and then send an army to attack Bushan, then Wang Hao wants to save Bushan but can't get it. After hearing this, Wadang praised: "Mr. Huan is a wise man of the Han people, and this plan is very good, so he will act according to Mr. Huan's words." ”

As soon as Wadang's voice fell, the barbarian general Xian only said loudly: "I'm afraid that the king's plan is inappropriate, we don't have much food and grass, and I am afraid it will be difficult to support us and others in a long-term war." Huan Lin listened to it and said with a smile: "This matter is easy, I can repair a letter with Hepu Taishou, Hepu is very rich in grain and grass, and Shiyi Taishou can support grain with me." The scarcity of grain and grass can be solved in an instant. Wadang praised: "Good, according to Mr. 's words, when the grain and grass in Hepu arrive, we will send troops to Anguang." Then he dispersed the generals. Huan Lin returned to the house to study books to Hepu and asked the priest for a piece of grain.

After another half a month, Shi Yifang sent 300,000 stone grains to. Wadang immediately got grain and grass, and immediately waved his troops out of the mountain to take Anguang City. The barbarian army stayed overnight, and walked for a few days, and went straight to the city of Anguang. An Guangling was unprepared for a while, and the barbarian army drove the brigade to it at dusk, but before the city gate could be closed, it was driven straight in by the barbarian army. An Guang ordered that he could not do anything, so he sent two horsemen to Linchen and Bushan to report the emergency, and hanged himself in the mansion. The barbarian army had to fix the week, close the city gate first, and soak it in the city for ten days.

Bushan is close to Anguang, Wang Haoyuan took Bushan as a place to store grain, so he left the general Mu Hong and Xue Yong to guard Bushan. Mu Hong received an urgent report from An Guang, and went to investigate. One day later, Tanma reported that there were 80,000 barbarian troops, and now the city of Anguang was closed. Mu Hong saw that the barbarian army was too strong to regain Anguang, so he ordered the army and the people to strengthen the city defense, just waiting for the barbarian army to attack, and waiting for the king to come back to help.

But it was said that the king was in Linchen City, and the army was about to take Jiaozhi, but when he heard that An Guang had a black and wild rebellion, he took the city. When the king heard this, his heart was in turmoil, and he hurriedly asked the generals to discuss. When all the generals arrived, Wang Hao said: "The existing Wuhu barbaric rebellion has taken Anguang City, and now our army's grain road is cut off, and it is isolated from the rear, and I am afraid that we can no longer take Jiaozhi at this time." What do you think, what should we do? ”

Zhu Wuxian said: "Lord, if this is the case, we should take Anguang first, so as not to have the risk of food shortage." Then make a plan to attack and cross-toe. When the generals heard this, they all agreed. Zhu Wu said again: "Bushan is a place for our army to store grain, and there is no room for loss. Mu Hong only has 10,000 soldiers, and he may not be able to hold it for a long time. The lord can send someone to look at Jingnan and Cangwu to move a branch of soldiers and horses to help. Then the lord left another general to guard Linchen, and Fang Shixie made a comeback, and attacked Wuhu on both sides. ”

Wang Hao nodded and agreed, and immediately repaired the book Jingnan and the five counties of Cangwu, moved 20,000 soldiers and horses, and then ordered Chao Gaicha Deputy General Xuanzan to lead, and Keri went to aid Bushan. He also ordered Shi Jin to guard Linchen, and made Li Yun, Kong Ming, and Kong Liang three generals complement each other, and then left Liao Li as counselor of the military aircraft, and left 30,000 soldiers and horses with Shi Jin. He also repaired a letter to Cangwu Liu Ba, and ordered him to go to Bushan as Mu Hong's military counselor. At that time, Wang Hao's arrangements had been decided, and he ordered the three armies to pack up and move back to Anguang.

The operation of the army was not just a day's work, and Wang Hao packed up his military horses and returned to Anguang without mentioning him for the time being.

Let's say that the barbarians in Anguang City, seeing that Anguang went down easily, wanted to make an army take Bushan lightly. The Dong lord Wei Ta, the few soldiers are weak, and he is squeezed out by the barbarian king and the rest of the Dong lords, so that he leads the troops and horses of the headquarters and the Dong to give 3,000 soldiers each, and the division comes to take Bushan. The rest of the Dong lords were still looting and enjoying themselves in Anguang, although Wei He was angry, but because of the slight situation, he did not dare to disobey, so he led more than 20,000 men and horses to take Bushan. When Huanjie heard this, he refused to obey Wadang's bitter advice, so he gave up.

Wei He led an army of 20,000 out of the city, and Jing Nan had already made a detailed investigation and reported to Mu Hong. When Mu Hong heard that the barbarian army was coming to take it with a partial division, he wanted to take it all, so he made a plan in the city, just waiting for the Wei Ta army to come.

Wei Ta led the barbarian army for several days, and it was nearly dusk, and the army reached thirty miles outside the city of Bushan, and Wei Ta first sent the sergeant to explore. After a short time, the sergeant reported that the city of Bushan was unprepared, and the four gates were opened, and the people entered and exited freely. Wei Ta said in his heart, this is a repetition of the old incident in Anguangcheng, and the Han army is not enough. At that moment, Wei Ta ordered the barbarian army to march quickly and take Bushan City.

Weta was only thirty roads away from Bushan City, and the army marched quickly, and it was only a few moments away. When Wei Ta led the barbarian army to the outside of Bushan City, the Han army saw Wei Ta suddenly arrive, so they abandoned the city gate and fled in all directions. Seeing this, Wei Ta was overjoyed, so he ordered the barbarian army to take Bushan City, and the whole army was roped for three days. When the barbarians heard this, they shouted and were eager to try. Seeing this, Vita took the lead and went straight to the city of Bushan.

Wei He led his army to seize the gate of Bushan City, and took the lead from the horse, looking into the city. As soon as the sergeant Weita entered the city, he heard a sound in front of him, like a landslide and the ground cracked, and Weita and his men and horses, and dozens of barbarian troops were sunk in the trenches. The Han army swarmed out on all sides, Wei Ta was temporarily in the trench, still struggling, Mu Hongjing ordered the crossbowmen to shoot a volley, Wei Ta and dozens of barbarian troops all shot as hedgehogs. Mu Hong slapped his horse with his sword and waved his army to cover the barbarian army.

The barbarian army saw that there was an ambush in the city, and they were eager to retreat, and Xue Yong's ambush soldiers had already crashed out of the city. There were also crossbowmen captured by Mu Hong in the city, who stood up and fired a volley of arrows at the barbarian army. For a time, the barbarian army trampled on each other, fired a volley of arrows, and was killed by Mu Hong and Xue Yong. The battle lasted until midnight, when Mu Hong collected his troops and beheaded thousands of people, and the rest were scattered. Mu Hong ordered the sergeants not to chase, but to guard the gate. The barbarians escaped with their lives.

Two days later, Fang You's defeated troops fled back to Anguang City. At the right time, the barbarian king Wadang was having a banquet with the barbarian chieftains, and when he heard the return of the defeated army, Wadang was furious. At present, Wadang raised 50,000 troops and came to Bushan, leaving only Yixi to lead 15,000 barbarian troops to defend Anguang City. Huan Neighbor feared that the barbarian king was reckless and made a mistake and went with the army.

When Wadang led his army to the city of Bushan, Mu Hong closed the four gates and defended the city. Seeing that there was no gap, Wadang ordered the barbarian army to set up camp under the city. The next day, he sent Nong out to fight.

Nong only slapped his horse and scolded and fought under the city. Mu Hong was furious, so he wanted to go out of the city to fight Nong Zhiyu. It happened that the day before yesterday, Liu Badao Bushan, seeing this, urgently persuaded Mu Hong: "General, put out your anger for the time being, I have a plan to help the general kill the barbarian chieftain lightly." Mu Hong asked anxiously: "Mr. Ji will come out?" Liu Ba said: "I am in the city, and the general will not move under the city." The barbarian chieftain is scolding and fighting outside, and when he sees that I should not wait for a long time, he will be slack off and unprepared. When he slackens, I will raise the red flag on the city, and the general can go out of the city to attack him. Wait for work with ease, and you must win. ”

So Mu Hong ordered the sergeant to guard the door, and Ren Nong did not react to any insults. Nong only scolded until noon in the morning, and saw that Mu Hong was just closed and didn't come out, and he scolded so much that his mouth was dry, so he ordered the sergeant to continue to scold. Dismount from the horse, sit in the Chinese army, drink water and eat. Seeing that Nong was only slacking off, the barbarian soldiers had fallen into sharp spirit, and they also rested on the ground, leaving only a few barbarians still fighting under the city.

Seeing that the barbarians were slack, Liu Ba waved red flags on the city, drums and horns sounded in unison, and the shouts shook the sky. Mu Hong ajar opened the city gate, took the lead, and rushed straight to the other side. The barbarians were unprepared, like a wave splitting, and Mu Hongjing was the only one left. Nong was caught off guard, and before he could get on the horse, Mu Hong had already arrived in front of him and shouted loudly, like a thunderous roar. Don't wait for Nong to meet each other, the big knife has fallen, and Nong only Yu is cut into two sections.

In the barbarian camp, the barbarian king Wadang was also dumbfounded, and after a while, he reacted and urgently ordered the barbarian army to kill Mu Hong. Mu Hong beheaded Nong, and left Ma Wangcheng early. The barbarian army chased to the bottom of the city, and Liu Ba ordered the soldiers in the city to fall with arrows and stones, and the barbarian army saw that the arrows and stones were like rain, and they could not go back.

Wadang was furious and ordered the whole army to attack the city, but they were all repelled by Mu Hong and Liu Ba. Wadang had no choice but to retreat to the camp, so he had to order the sergeants to build siege equipment, and ordered Huan Neighbor to supervise the barbarian soldiers, fill the trenches with soil, and build earth mountains. Then he supervised the barbarian army to attack the city day and night. The two sides fought for more than ten days, and each suffered damage.

On this day, Huan Lin came to report that Wadang Tushan had been completed. The tile is out of sight at the present, and sees that the neighbors of Huan have built several earth mountains, and the mountain city is leveled, and the barbarian soldiers can borrow the earth mountain to go straight to the head of the mountain city. Wadang was overjoyed when he saw this, so he ordered Xian only to organize barbarian troops to attack the city. Xian only led the barbarian army, went up the slope, and went straight to the head of Bushan City. The Han army could not defend it, and was actually attacked by the barbarian army. Seeing this, Mu Hong led hundreds of people to drive away the barbarians. The two sides fought fiercely in the city for more than half an hour, and the barbarian army was driven down the city.

Mu Hongfang waited for a short rest, and saw that the barbarian general Xian only led more barbarian soldiers to look at Tushan, so he said to Liu Ba: "This time I am afraid that Bushan City will not be protected, and I can only fight to the death to report to the lord." But there is one thing that I would like to ask for my help. Liu Ba said: "General, please speak." Mu Hong said: "There is half a year's grain and grass for the army in the treasury of the city, which cannot be obtained by the barbarian army. If the city is broken, please burn it, and then report back to the lord, saying that he is ashamed of the lord's trust. Liu Ba responded with tears.

Under the city, Wadang has been at the fingertips of Bushan, wearing armor and holding swords, and supervising the army in the rear. Xian saw the situation, insisted on sharpness, took the lead, and wanted to go down Bushan in one fell swoop. The arrangement has been decided, the drums and horns of the tile are sounding in unison, and the barbarian soldiers are shouting loudly, and they all hope that the earth and mountains will come. Mu Hong and Xue Yong led the soldiers of the whole city, gathered here, and when they saw the barbarian soldiers arriving, the two led the army to meet them. The two sides fought in a mess in the city.

Liu Ba was behind, and saw that although Mu Hong and Xue Yong fought hard, they were outnumbered by the barbarians and retreated step by step. Liu Ba was about to go down to the city to burn grain and grass, when he suddenly saw a large cloud of smoke and dust rolling up behind the barbarian camp. Liu Ba looked at it, there were about 20,000 people, and he was shocked. If you look closely, the army is about to arrive at the barbarian camp, but the banner is the Xuanzi flag. Liu Ba was overjoyed, knowing that it was the Jingnan reinforcements who praised it. Hurriedly shouted to Mu Hong: "General Gongyi, hold on a little, Jingnan reinforcements have arrived!" ”
