Chapter 15: The Rebellion of Chen Feng (6)

Not long after breaking through Dongyuan, Liu Bang received a good news from Zhou Bo: Yu Loufu defeated the armies of Han Wangxin, Zhao Li, and Chen Xuan, and captured Chen Xuan's general Song Zhi and Yanmen County Guard Li Yuan; Recovering Yunzhong County, capturing the defending generals, Prime Minister Ji, and generals, recovering a total of 29 counties in Yanmen County and Yunzhong County, Chen Xuan's army is heading eastward, and I will chase it. Liu Bang laughed and praised Zhou Bo, "There is Zhou Bo in the Han family, and I don't have to worry about it." ”

"Report-" When Liu Bangfang was excited about Zhou Bo's achievements, another soldier outside the palace came to report to Liu Bang, "Chen Feng sent farewell to Qi Wuwei to break through the endless, Yin Pan broke through Guangchang, Han Wangxin led 3,000 cavalry to welcome Chen Feng back to Pingcheng to reorganize the army, Han Wangxin sent Hu general Wang Huang to garrison Wei County, and the Hu cavalry marched a hundred miles away from Quyi. Liu Bang listened to the soldier's battle report, but he had already thought about it in his heart, Fan Hao was the first to go out of work to ask for orders to go north to get rid of the thieves, and Li Shang Guan Ying and others all went out of the class to ask for their lives. Liu Bang stood up solemnly and pointed directly at Fan Xu, and ordered in a loud voice, "Fan Xu led an army of 20,000 to exterminate Chen Xu's army, and set off immediately." Most of the generals under Wang Huang Manqiuchen have come for financial gain, and Chen Xuan's army must not be strong, in case the thieves sneak attack the cities that have been captured, and the generals of Li Shang will temporarily guard the cities that have been pacified. The three generals gave their hands in unison.

Fan Hao led the army to take the wrong path, and led 10,000 people to Guangchang, and Zhou Zao led 10,000 people to go straight to the end. Yin Fan, the general stationed in Guangchang, is really like the overlord of Song Xianggong in the Spring and Autumn Period, but the teacher who is full of benevolence and righteousness can't say anything about him, and Yin Fan's other generals persuade him to station his army in the high mountains opposite and occupy a dominant position. Guangchang topography is horseshoe-shaped, surrounded by mountains on three sides, southeast opening, there is a river on the top of the northwest mountain that flows southeast direction, after passing the Guangchang city pool, it flows from west to east again, the valley to the top of the mountain is full of dry branches, and the winter is the northwest cold wind, if you occupy the top of the mountain, it is easiest to use fire attack; If there is no fire attack, Yin Pan's army is mostly Hu cavalry, and it is also possible to win from the empty hill to the enemy camp; You can also ambush 5,000 archers and other soldiers at the top of the horseshoe-shaped mountain pass, and wait for half of the enemy soldiers to enter the battle, or cut off the enemy soldiers at the waist, or wait for all the enemy soldiers to enter the formation, and shoot them to death with random arrows, and it is also a good strategy to stone to death. Yin Pan smiled and shook his hand to deny, and said that he had already wanted to fight with the emperor's beloved general Fan Hao for a round, and said that relying on the terrain and relying on the virtual and real strategy is not the embodiment of the ability of the individual leader, and if you want to fight, you will face it head-on, and the two sides will set up a formation to fight for hundreds of rounds is the embodiment of ability, don't persuade Yin Pan Fan to make outstanding achievements, even under the Xiangguo, Qinghe, Changshan Zhucheng, and recently helped the emperor conquer Dongyuan, or should occupy a favorable terrain for the top, Yin Pan is hehe laughed and did not change his mind, that is, the army was stationed in Guangchang City.

Fan Hao sent people early to find out Yin Pan's stationing, generals, number of soldiers and many other situations. In the clear night, Yin Pan was drinking with the generals, but a soldier outside the tent hurriedly came to report, saying that a large area of fire suddenly appeared in the forest on the top of the mountain, and the fire gradually moved towards the valley in light or dark, and he was afraid that the enemy army wanted to take advantage of the night to sneak attack the camp. Yin Pan suddenly woke up halfway up, got up suddenly, put on his armor and took a sword and ran out of the tent, and the generals followed Yin Pan out of the tent, and they all saw a large piece of fire moving slowly on the opposite mountain, and Yin Pan hurriedly called the scouts to go to reconnoiter the situation. In two quarters of an hour, the scouts returned to the camp to report: the enemy army of more than 1,000 people rushed to Guangchang City. The don't general persuaded Yin Pan to close the city gate and defend the city, but Yin Pan was happy on his face, "More than a thousand people dare to sneak attack my camp, see how I pick them up." Yin Pan personally ordered 5,000 elite soldiers to go out of the city with him to meet the enemy, when Yin Pan had already turned over and mounted his horse, another soldier came to report that there was also the same enemy army slowly moving towards Guangchang City on the southwest mountain, Yin Pan had a slight doubt and rashly allocated 5,000 people to the close range of 5,000 people to meet the enemy army in the southwest direction, and another 5,000 people were stationed in the city, Yin Pan himself personally led 5,000 elite soldiers to gallop towards the enemy army looming in the opposite mountain forest.

Approaching the mountain forest, the people in the forest threw down the torches in their hands and ran in the opposite direction to the mountain, a soldier picked up the torches on the ground and gave them to Yin Pan, Yin Pan was surprised, it turned out that there were almost five torches tied to a horizontal log, and one person had five in his hand, so it looked like there were a lot of people from a distance, and it turned out that the enemy army in the forest was about 200 people, Yin Pan was shocked, and shouted, "Not good-" Then he turned his horse and galloped towards the city under the mountain, but the Guangchang City under the mountain was already on fire. It turned out that after Fan Xu found out that Yin Pan's army was only 15,000 people, he tried his best to use the terrain to lure out more people, so he took advantage of the night to let 200 soldiers each hold five torches to the northwest and southwest mountains and lit them, as a guide to the snake out of the hole, it was expected that only 5,000 people remained in Guangchang City, Fan Xu led 15,000 soldiers to pick up the bell from the horseshoe-shaped mountain pass and quietly came in, ambushed not far from the mountain pass, and sent a few people to climb the Guangchang city wall at night, evaded Yin Pan's guards, and found Yin Pan's grain depot is to put a fire and burn. The flames were so bright that most of the 5,000 soldiers who stayed behind came to save them when they saw that the grain depot was on fire. The man who set the fire had already dressed as Yin Pan's soldier, and when he went down to the city gate, he shouted to the guards guarding the city gate that the grain depot was on fire, and most of the guards at the city gate immediately left. The person who set the fire said that he heard that Yin Pan led the army back to the city outside, many guards looked at each other, but they still opened the city gate and looked out, the more they listened, the more they could hear the sound of horses' hooves, the soldiers guarding the city gate hurriedly opened the city gate to welcome Yin Pan's army into the city, and when they got closer, they saw the bearded mighty general Fan Hao leading the troops to shout and kill them, and the guards hurriedly closed the city gate but were killed by the soldiers who set fire to the city gate. So the city gate opened, and Fan Hao entered Guangchang City without blood, and burned down the rebellious county.

Yin Pan didn't know that Fan Xu had entered the city, and when he came back, he didn't look at the Pegasus into the city, and suddenly the city gate behind him was closed, Yin Pan sighed, and only found out that the person guarding the city gate had already become Fan Xu's person, Yin Pan tried to get out of the city several times without success, but was captured by Fan Xu's subordinates, and handed him over to Fan Xu for disposal. Without saying a word, Fan Xu first escorted Yin Pan to Guangchang Prison, and immediately asked someone to erect the Han family flag at the head of the city, so Guangchang was pacified.

Two days later, Fan Hao received a good report from Zhou Zao: there was no final peace, and the general Qi was captured. Fan Hao was overjoyed, knowing that Zhou Zao would lead the army to make peace with him in a few days, Fan Hao and ordered the people to sweep the camp tent, and prepare wine and food to wait for Zhou Zao. A day later, Zhou Zaoguo led the army to meet with Fan Xu, and was welcomed into the big tent by Fan Xu, the two of them each talked about the achievements of the city, but they laughed for a while, and then the silver and gold were used to make the wine happy, and said that they would march into the vicinity of Wei County tomorrow.

The next day, Fan Xu and Zhou Zao led their army north. Just arrived in the suburbs of Wei County, he met the Hu general Wang Huang who patrolled the city, so the two armies set up a battle for several rounds, Wang Huang wanted to take advantage of the fatigue of Fan Xu's soldiers running around for days and the shortcomings of limited food, secretly sent 5,000 troops around the road to storm Fan Xu's grain road troops, at this time it was Zhou Zao who guarded the grain, seeing that the grain road soldiers had opened a distance from Fan Xu's soldiers, Zhou Zao calmed down to face the battle, several rounds down, the grain was reduced by five cars, most of the soldiers were killed or wounded, and the soldiers sent by Wang Huang were also killed or wounded more than half, Seeing that Zhou Zao had an attitude of putting himself to death and then revitalizing the food, the soldiers sent by Wang Huang suddenly lost their morale, and after severely inflicting heavy losses on Fan Xu's baggage, they all returned to Wang Huang's side.

That Wang Huang arrogantly looked down on Fan Xu, and fought with Fan Xu alone in the center of the two armies for several rounds and had their own victories and defeats, so Wang Huang didn't take Fan Hao to heart, but Fan Xu deliberately lost to Wang Huang several times, and when he fought with Wang Huang again, Fan Xu was trying his best to smash the eighteen-pound Chaotian lance in his hand towards Wang Huang's head, and when Wang Huang blocked with the halberd in his hand, he had already been bent by Fan Xu's Chaotian lance, and finally Fan Hao roared and kicked Wang Huang's chest. Suddenly, Wang Huang screamed, and he couldn't support it, so he turned over and whipped back to the camp. Here, Fan Hao roared and ordered to pursue Wang Huang's army, Wang Huang led his soldiers to flee, and Fan Xu's soldiers pursued non-stop, recaptured many Wang Huang's other generals, but let Wang Huang escape alive again. Fan Xu's soldiers and horses were scarce, so he ordered the pursuit to be stopped, because the soldiers did not eat on this day, so they ordered the soldiers to camp on the spot and bury the pot to cook. At this time, Zhou Zao also led the remnants to catch up with Fan Xu, and told Fan Hao about the siege of the soldiers sent by Wang Huang halfway, Fan Hao exclaimed, praising Zhou Zao for being a general, and protecting the remaining grain intact, Zhou Zao waved his hand and handed over the well-preserved remaining grain to the cook.
