Before night came, there was no trace of pedestrians in Anyang City, and a few dog barks were heard from a distance from time to time on the streets of Xiaosuo, and the shops in the market had long been closed. Under the dim candlelight, an old woman was knitting a sweater, and through the pale yellow candlelight, the white hair between the temples was particularly distinct.

"Son, when you go to your uncle's place, you must be obedient and obedient, don't give me trouble everywhere." The old woman explained to her son, and her words were full of concern. Tonight, her son Shang Ping is going to Pingyang County to join his uncle.

"Mother, you have said it many times, I know the truth, you can rest assured." Shang Ping put down the last time to check the burden that had already been packed up by her mother, came to his mother's back, and stretched out his hand to rub his mother's shoulder.

"Mother, don't worry about the child, I'll take care of myself. It's just that now the child is going to take refuge with his uncle, what should I do if my mother is alone" Shang Ping gently rubbed her mother's shoulder, and her words were full of reluctance.

The old woman put down the sweater she was knitting, turned around, combed Shang Ping's hair, and said with a chuckle: "Silly child, your father died a few years ago, and now I am used to it alone." Fortunately, now that you have grown up and can take care of yourself, I don't have to worry about it. I don't have long to live, you don't have to worry about me, you should think about your future, go to your uncle, be diligent, don't let people fall behind. ”

Seeing that the separation was imminent, Shang Ping's eyes were full of tears, "Mother, but I want to join the army." ”

The old woman was suddenly stunned, looked at Shang Ping, and said hatefully, "You are not a filial son, you still want to join the army, your father finally survived the end when he joined the army, and became a captain, but in the end, he was not killed by a traitor, he was exiled to Anyang County, and he died of depression after the most depression." Do you want to follow in your father's footsteps?"

Shang Ping reluctantly said: "But mother, now our ** adult in Anyang County is a good person, he has brought stability to the people of our Anyang County, it is because of him that those dog thieves persecuted us, shouldn't the child join the army to protect him?"

The old woman was angry, "Do you know what to say, can you guarantee that the ** lord is the same as always, he is good now, and our people are grateful to him, but when his power is great, people's hearts will change." What's more, we are now surrounded by Chu Dingde of the imperial court, and we may enter the city one day. ”

Shang Ping said: "Mother, don't worry, Chu Dingde can't enter the city, I estimate that the person outside the city is not Chu Dingde at all, maybe Chu Dingde led troops to attack Xue Cheng." Mother, if Chu Dingde goes to fight Xue Cheng, then our Anyang will be in danger, why don't you go to Pingyang with me, and let's go to my uncle together. ”

The old woman said, "You child, you are talking nonsense, mother, I, I am not going anywhere, I have lived in Anyang County with your father for more than ten years, and I have long regarded this place as my hometown." This person is old, and he doesn't have a few years to live, even if he dies, he will die in Anyang County. You remember for me, my mother is not going anywhere, if I die one day, you must bury me and your father together. This Anyang County is our home."

Shang Ping said with tears in his eyes, "Mother, what do you say, now your body is fine, mother, don't worry, when I make a lot of money, I will definitely come back to honor you and serve you."

The old woman stroked Shang Ping's face and smiled, "Child, I know that you are filial." As long as I see that you can do well, I will be satisfied. When you get to your uncle, you must be obedient. Don't make trouble for me, or I won't have a place to put my old face."

Then the old woman said, "Son, it's not too early, you will not be found out if you go out of the city secretly at this time, remember the path I told you, and be careful on the road when the soldiers are in chaos." ”

Shang Ping also knew that it was not too early, so he knelt in front of the old woman, "Mother, the child is not filial, so I can't accompany you." ”

The old woman's face was firm, "Let's go early, it's cold outside, put on one more piece of clothing." ”

"Hmm" Shang Ping nodded with tears in his eyes.

Shang Ping is gone, the night is gradually coming, and the late autumn wind is shivering. He didn't take the city gate, now that Anyang County is besieged and the city gate is closed, he can only take the path explained by his mother, but he missed seeing a classic battle with his own eyes.

Liu Bang had already gathered a large army at this time, and he was going to attack Shi Pei's camp tonight. And the issuing officer of the army is Yuwen Chengdu.

Yuwen Chengdu had already put on his armor and robe, holding a phoenix-winged gold hammer and standing at the top, so he was not a hero. In a strong voice, he asked, "Are you all ready?" ”

Everyone shouted in unison, and saw that Feng Jin on his side was also wearing armor. asked Yuwen Chengdu, "General Yuwen, I don't think it's better to burn them down, they are in the woods." It's late autumn now, and the grass and trees are dry, and it's just a little bit. ”

Huang Xiu hurriedly said, "By all means, if the woods are burned, the people in the vicinity will definitely suffer, and the woodcutter will have no way to live." Some women and elderly people are also unable to pick up wild vegetables to subsidize their livelihoods. In the harsh winter, it is likely that the firewood will run out, and it will even threaten our Anyang. ”

Yuwen Chengdu nodded. "It will be carried out according to the original plan. The army is on its way."

The army bypassed the main road, Yuwen Chengdu and Feng Jin each led the way, and sneaked to the sides of the woods from the path, it was late at night, and most of Shi Pei's army were already asleep. Yuwen Chengdu ordered a hundred people to accompany him, relying on the darkness of the night and the cover of the woods to come to the periphery of the camp of Shi Pei's army.

"Are you all ready?" Yuwen Chengdu asked the soldier in a low voice.

"Ready" A hundred soldiers are ready, just waiting to rush in.

"Give it to me, pay attention, move lightly, don't alarm others, especially pay attention to some dark posts in dead corners" Yuwen Chengdu gave the order to attack

"Hey, it's really cold this day, they are all sleeping, but they asked a few brothers to come out to patrol, how dare those thieves in Anyang cower in the city early!" A soldier complained.

"Yes, on this cold day, the general is really, let our brother suffer, but he slept in the tent."

"Don't talk nonsense, he is a general, if he doesn't rest, how can he lead us to war, if you are a soldier, you must have the consciousness of being a soldier, and when you get mixed with the general, you don't have to patrol."

"When I become a general, I will definitely not treat my brothers badly, and I will ensure that you eat and drink spicy food"

The soldier was about to continue his fantasies, but suddenly more than a dozen people appeared, "Who are you?" "It's a pity that I was wiped on my neck just after I finished speaking.

In an instant, only one person remained. Yuwen Chengdu put a phoenix wing hammer against the soldier's neck, "Don't scream, ask you a few questions, and I'll let you go?" ”

This is the soldier saw that the people around him were killed, and he knew that it was a sneak attack by the enemy, but he was now caught, so he nodded, and protecting himself is the last word.

Yuwen Chengdu asked, "How many people do you have?"

"We have here 10,000 soldiers and 800 horses." The soldier replied.

Sure enough, it was not bad with his estimate, Yuwen Chengdu asked again, "There are only 10,000 horses here, so where did the rest go?"

"The rest were taken to Xuecheng by General Chu Dingde, and General Huaquan also led 10,000 troops to surround Dingyang County" The soldiers know everything and say everything.

"Who are you leading the troops?" asked Yuwen Chengdu.

"It's General Shi Pei," the soldier replied.

"Shi Pei, how are your soldiers distributed," Yuwen Chengdu then asked the soldier.

"Our soldiers are all inside, and these tents are empty on the outside, in order to give you the false impression that there are many of us." The soldier hurriedly replied, extremely cooperative, only hoping that Yuwen Cheng could let him go.

Sure enough, Yuwen Chengdu saw that the distribution of soldiers that this soldier said was not much different from what Huang Xiu said. Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to rashly attack a hundred people.

At this time, a hundred soldiers led by Yuwen Chengdu rushed over. They all said, "General Yuwen, the sentinels have all been solved and have not been found." ”

"Okay, a few of you will quickly order the army to come, and the rest will dispose of these corpses and hide in these empty tents. The army hid in the camp tent one by one, and slowly approached the camp of Shi Pei's army" Yuwen Chengdu finished speaking, and killed the soldier in his hand, this soldier has no value, in order to prevent leakage, this soldier must be killed.

Feng Jin's side was also proceeding like this, and the two people approached the camp of Shi Pei's army without alarming the enemy army at all. Shi Pei never dreamed that he wanted to use it to confuse the enemy's camp, but it provided an opportunity for the enemy to hide.

Yuwen Chengdu looked at the sky, the moon and stars were scarce, and it had reached the appointed time, presumably Feng Jin's side had already made preparations, otherwise the battle would have started a long time ago.

"Soldiers, rush out of the city with me and kill the enemy." Yuwen Chengdu gave the order.

The sound of killing gradually rose, Shi Pei's army was killed while still asleep, and when he reacted, he hurriedly dressed, and was beheaded under the knife before he could pick up his weapon, this was simply a one-sided massacre!

Yuwen Chengdu and Feng Jin had already converged at this moment, and the army had already controlled Shi Pei's soldiers. Most of Shi Pei's army was killed or surrendered.

Feng Jin's face was flushed, and he said loudly. "The battle was painful. General Yuwen, in front of him is the barracks of Shi Pei's army. We kill the past. As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed over.

In Shi Pei's tent, Shi Pei was sitting in the middle of the camp tent, and he already knew that the enemy had seen through his plan. It's just that now he has no strength to recover.

Jiang Hong, Zhao Li panicked. "What to do, what to do. How could the enemy army kill him" "Let's run, general, let's escape first" After speaking, he rushed out of the barracks, but was killed by Feng Jin, who was rushing over, and he didn't see it.

Feng Jin broke into Shi Pei's military tent, but saw that Shi Pei was sitting in the barracks, so he asked, "You are Shi Pei?" ”

"I am Shi Pei" replied without the slightest fear and fear of facing death.

"It's good for you, surround me Anyang, trap my people, and work on my city gate. Give it to me, capture Shi Pei alive," Feng Jin ordered his soldiers.

Yuwen Chengdu also rushed over, but Shi Pei said, "Slow, now that you have seen through my plan, I, Shi Pei, think that my skills are not as good as others, I can be arrested by you, I just ask you to let go of the soldiers around me, and each is his master." They are all innocent."

"General!" "General, we are willing to swear to protect you to the death and rush out of the army" These soldiers were moved by Shi Pei, and they all swore to protect General Shi Pei.

Seeing this, Yuwen Chengdu said: "Okay, I promise you, come and tie up Shi Pei for me!" ”

It's a pity, the general who was talking and laughing before today, but now he has ended up with a whole army annihilated and himself bound!
