On the fourth day, the officers and soldiers returned thirty miles, and Chao Gai also entered thirty miles.

On the fifth day, Chao Gai was about to pull out the race to raise his troops, and suddenly, Tanma reported that the officers and soldiers withdrew because of the lack of food and grass in the army, and they were ready to withdraw in desperation.

And Tanma also caught Chen. Xizhen discharged the sergeant who sent a letter asking for help to He Taiping, and the letter was written asking for the allocation of grain and grass.

Seeing this, the people next to him shouted, "Don't take this moment to chase Chen. Xi Zhen, when to wait! ”

Chao Gai was still a little uneasy, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't find it, so he said at the moment: "Chen. If Xi Zhen retreats, of course he will send troops to ambush behind, so it is better not to be impulsive. ”

Shi Wengong, Xuanzan and the others withdrew their bellies, and they were willing to rest, and they all shouted: "My brothers and I have been injured a lot by them, if we let them go by themselves, we are really unwilling." ”

Zhang Yinglei, the tiger race idiot next to him, came over at this time and said: "Metropolitan Governor, we live in Liangshan and use soldiers in Japan, I'm afraid that one will come!" Why did you meet Chen today? Xizhen's husband, but he is so timid? It's Chen. No matter how good Xi Zhen is, he is afraid that he will not be able to deal with him, so he does not take advantage of this time to chase and kill, but when he collects his troops and returns, he will ease his breath and attack again, but it is not easy to take advantage of it? ”

At that moment, Shi Wengong, the general of Chuang, hugged his fist towards Chao Gai and said: "The younger brother has received the favor of the governor of the capital, and he is about to report today, and he will not give up." Chao Gai reluctantly complied, and said, "Even if everyone insists on chasing, you must also be careful." Although there are no ambushes here, there must be preparations when you go to the mountains to cover them. General Shi Wengong led the elite troops to advance, and I and Zhang Yinglei, Lu Zhishen and other generals responded in the back to prevent an ambush. "On the one hand, he returned to Xu Guanzhong at a bad time and guarded Jingdezhen, and there must be no mistake.

Everyone was overjoyed, and at that time, Cheng Beidao chased after the officers and soldiers. The next day, they caught up, only to see the officers and soldiers walking slowly in front. Shi Wengong, Ding Desun, and Xie Zhen urged the troops to kill, and at that moment, Shi Wengong's hand danced with the halberd in the sky, and shouted: "Chen. Hee-jin go there! ”

As soon as Shi Wengong's words fell, at this moment, only a cannon rang out, and a group of men and horses came at the foot of the mountain on the left, it was Gou Huan and Gou Ying, who were enemies of Shi Wengong and others. However, after more than a dozen rounds, the two of them couldn't reach the Liangshan military horse, so they turned around and left.

Shi Wengong led the military horses and chased after them, and after a while, another cannon rang out, and Zhen Xianglin led the military horses to kill from the woods next to him, shouting: "Go there thief!" Shi Wengong's eyes are above the top, a proud character on weekdays, where can he let the officials and soldiers escape so easily from his hands, and he was furious at the moment, and he came to greet him.

After more than ten battles, the horses were turned away, and the officers and soldiers abandoned their armor and fled. Shi Wengong led the military horses to chase after him, Gou Ying and Gou Huan brothers copied in front again, fought for a while, and then looked at the woods and mountain roads, and walked in the wilderness, and the officers and soldiers seized countless grain, grass, baggage, equipment, and horses.

As soon as Shi Wengong saw this, he knew that this was Chen. Xi Zhen arranged it in advance, and at the moment he also slowed down his pace, in order to prevent the official army from sneaking attack, and sent out a careful probe of the horse, and after a while, the horse returned, and heard that the front was already the boundary of the Great Wall Ridge, Shi Wengong was overjoyed, and the general horse rested, burying the pot and cooking.

While he was resting, he suddenly heard the sound of cannons in the opposite mountain. Shi Wengong was shocked, and immediately got on the horse to see it in person, only to see that the officers and soldiers on the hillside were swinging out, and it was the official general Zhen Xianglin. Zhen Xianglin pointed at Shi Wengong and scolded: "Shi Wengong thief, there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers waiting for you behind my mountain, do you dare to kill them?" ”

Before Shi Wengong could speak, Ding Desun, the middle arrow tiger next to him, was furious, and drove his troops and horses to cover up, and Zhen Xianglin returned to his horse and left. The Liangshan military horses chased over the hillside, only to hear the sound of cannons, Gou Huan and Gou Ying came in two ways; Zhen Xianglin returned to Malaysia to fight. Shi Wengong and the others always relied on a lot of soldiers and horses, and they were not afraid at all, and they fought separately. For many times, the officers and soldiers and other three generals walked around the Great Wall Ridge.

Shi Wengong and the three of them led the military horses to chase and kill for a while, and when they saw that it was getting late, they suddenly reported that the army meteor horse had arrived, and reported: "The three generals are resting, and most of the governors have orders, saying that the mountains around the Great Wall Ridge are dangerous, and there will be ambushes, and they will not chase after them." The governor of the capital went down to the village in the back, and asked the three generals to go down to the village and make plans again. ”

The twin-tailed scorpion Xie Zhen laughed at the moment and said, "The ambush soldiers were all killed and retreated by us. ”

Then the herald said, "The Governor has commanded that the ambush will not be a real defeat, but a temptation to the enemy." ”

Shi Wengong waved his hand and said impatiently: "The Metropolitan Governor often says that the defeated army often uses the broken army as a lure to the enemy, teaching people to be confused and not daring to chase him. Jin Chen. Xizhen, this is the plan. If you don't chase it, won't you let them be deceived? ”

Hearing Shi Wengong's words, Ding Desun next to him also echoed and said: "Although the elder brother of the Shi family can see it, but the knowledge of the two of us, how can I be the governor of the capital." Since the Metropolitan Governor has said this, we must not disobey the command. Shi Wen Gong obeyed, and then ordered to camp on the mountain pass of the Great Wall Ridge.

It was a cold and windy night, but I could hear the gods crying in the valley. Shi Wengong sent people to find out the path, and the young sergeants brought two farmers. Ding Desun stepped forward and asked: "Since you are a local dealer, do you know the path here, and where can you pass through this mountain pass?" How far is it from Jingdezhen? ”

The two farmers said: "This Great Wall Ridge enters the mountain pass and leads directly to the Laiwu Valley, and there is a large open space. Not far out of the valley, there is Jingdezhen. It's just that the mountain road is rugged, the snow is deep and frozen, and it is inconvenient to walk. ”

Shi Wengong nodded after hearing this, and then asked, "Can you see that there are officers and soldiers who have entered the mountain pass to ambush?" The farmer replied, "The snow in the recess is not knee-deep, and the wind is strong, and if you go in, you will probably freeze to death." Hearing the farmer's words, Shi Wengong and the others were overjoyed, rewarded the two farmers, and let them go back.

But Shi Wengong didn't know that these two farmers were none other than Chen. The confidant sent by Xizhen, Chen. Xizhen deliberately sent them back and forth. Shi Wengong didn't know why, but he was on the way, and said to Ding Desun and Xie Zhen next to him: "I have a plan here: I will divide half of the troops with you, and you will lead half of them to chase from the main road; I led half of it through the Laiwu Valley, intercepted his way back, attacked on both sides, and will capture Chen tonight. Heezhen. ”

Ding Desun said worriedly: "The farmer said that the snow in the mountains is deep and the road is dangerous, how to get there?" Shi Wengong said nonchalantly: "Definitely." Don't you know the story of Li Yuxue of the Tang Dynasty who entered Caizhou at night and captured Wu Yuanji. Tonight, the opportunity is exactly the same. You just have to rely on me and do miracles together. ”

Ding Desun said: "The dealer said that there are no ambushes in the valley, and it is difficult to believe it, so why don't I go and visit it myself." Shi Wengong listened to Ding Desun's words, nodded, and said approvingly: "Reasonable." ”

At that moment, the two of them got on the horse, led dozens of horses, braved the wind into the mountain pass to watch, only to see the white snow, reflecting the mountain bone layer, after the snow in early spring is the coldest. After Shi Wengong saw it, he laughed and said, "There are ambush soldiers!" Brother, you look at the snow in the ground like a mirror, and you don't see a single footprint of a horse, and he is the only ambush soldier who flies down from the sky? This is a blessing for you and my brother to succeed. ”

Ding Desun was also overjoyed, and said at the moment: "That being the case, I will wait for nothing to be done." After saying that, the two of them quickly returned to the camp, divided their troops into two ways, and instructed their officers and soldiers, saying: "You have waited for many days of hard work, and if you succeed tonight, you will definitely be rewarded." After hearing this, all the officers and soldiers were in high spirits, geared up, pulled out the camp, and set off together.

Not to mention Ding Desun, Xie Zhen and the others led the half of the soldiers to chase east, but Shi Wengong led the half of the men and horses to the mountain pass. Sure enough, the mountain road was narrow, seven high and eight low, the snow was knee-high, and the soldiers could not ride horses, so they all came down and led them. Shi Wengong also led the horse by himself. The mountains and rivers were lit up by snow at night, like day. For a long time, I walked through the mountain gorge, surrounded by four mountains in front, the terrain was open, and the snow was shallow. Shi Wengong agreed that the former soldiers and horses would wait for the rear army to arrive before entering. The soldiers were so cold that they held their weapons in their arms and shivered. I saw that there were four or five fires on the top of the mountain, and there were also fires in the woods on all sides, as if human figures were moving.

Shi Wengong was suddenly taken aback when he saw it, and said suspiciously: "Could it be that there are really ambush soldiers?" The words just fell. Suddenly, there was a lot of artillery fire, shouts were loud, and the thunder stones and rolling wood fell down, blocking the mountain pass in an instant.
