Yuan Ang said: "No wonder seeing that Wu Bing has besieged Shouchun in the past few days, and the number of personnel has increased instead of decreasing after encountering setbacks, Tian Lubo really can't be underestimated." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"It turns out that he is so powerful, attacking while conscripting troops, if King Wu gives him a lot of troops, maybe he will do a lot, but unfortunately, King Wu only gave him 3,000 men and horses, and Tian Lubo, the general, was finally destroyed in the hands of King Wu. Zhang Jiayang said.

"Yes, two, what do you say about how we deal with Tian Lubo, I think this situation should be done as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to clean up when he is full-fledged. The county lieutenant said on the side.

Yuan Ang said: "What the county lieutenant said is reasonable, but we have to plan it well, Tian Lubo is too cunning." ”

"Yes, may I ask the captain, is there a good channel here to cross the Wu army camp and enter Shouchun to deliver the news. Zhang Jiayang then asked.

"When you asked, I thought of a way to enter Shouchun. The county lieutenant replied.

"Say it quickly. The crowd urged.

"From this side, there is a tributary of Huaishui that leads directly to the Shouchun moat, and there is a branch of the moat that passes through the city wall, but there is an iron net under the city wall. ”

Yuan Ang said: "The county lieutenant means to send a good swim river to the river. ”

"Exactly, but only through the iron fence beneath the walls. ”

"Good idea. Zhang Jiayang sighed in admiration and continued: "County lieutenant, you can have such available talents in your team with good water quality. ”

"There are a few people, but your people have to go to a Huainan prime minister to believe it, otherwise with the caution of the Huainan prime minister, he will not send troops to meet the battle. ”

Zhang Jiayang continued: "Fengchang, I'll go with you." ”

"Jia Yang, are you okay with water?"

"There should be no problem, I'm confident. ”

"Okay, county lieutenant, send your men and Jia Yang to set off together, send the information to Shouchun City this afternoon, tomorrow dawn with three fires outside the north city gate as a signal, the soldiers in Shouchun City can open the city gate and kill outside the city, and our 8,000 men and horses will also launch a charge, and come to an internal and external attack to eliminate Tian Lubo's troops." ”

"Good idea, we'll do it right away. The county lieutenant agreed.

Zhang Jiayang and Yuan Ang said goodbye, Yuan Ang told Zhang Jiayang with firm eyes that the battle must be successful, otherwise his life will not be guaranteed when he returns to Chang'an, Zhang Jiayang and the county lieutenant went to prepare for the smuggling matter, Yuan Ang glanced at the Wu soldier prisoner who was kneeling on the ground and said: "Take it down, keep it under strict guard." ”

"No. ”

Zhang Jiayang and the five county lieutenants sent the men and horses jumped into the Huaishui, swam in the direction of Shouchun City, when there were still three or five miles away from the moat, they found that there was a Wu army camp by the river, and the six people immediately took a diving method to swim quickly, crossed the moat to the fork of the river, swam in the direction of the city wall, and finally came to the barbed wire below, the people sent by the five county lieutenants tried hard to pierce the barbed wire without success, Zhang Jiayang swam to the front and said: "Brothers, get out of the way, let me try." ”

I saw Zhang Jiayang grabbing one end of the barbed wire with both hands, his feet straddling the wall of the iron mesh gate, his whole body was horizontally in the air, and he screamed all over his body, only to see the iron net crack from one side with a loud sound, and then several people lifted the iron net together, and the iron net at this time was like an open door, and the six people swam in in and came to Shouchun City.

"Who is it?" Just as the six people were about to climb ashore, they were immediately spotted by Huainan soldiers patrolling the river embankment, holding bows and arrows and preparing to shoot.

"Don't get me wrong, brothers, we are our own people, and we want to see the prime minister. Zhang Jiayang and others said in a loud voice.

"Come on, you came in from the river outside the city?" shouted the Huainan soldier.

"Yes, don't do it, it's all your own people. Zhang Jiayang climbed up from the river as he spoke, followed by five other people who also climbed out of the river.

"Who knows who you are, don't move around, hand you over to the prime minister. The patrol soldiers escorted Zhang Jiayang and a few people to the Huainan State to command the camp.

Prime Minister Huainan asked, "Who are you, what is the matter with finding the prime minister?"

Zhang Jiayang kowtowed and bowed: "Report to the prime minister, I am a general sent from Chang'an, and I am here to stop Tian Lubo's army, and the next few are a few people sent by Dangtu County Lieutenant." ”

Then Zhang Jiayang took out the imperial court token and gave a detailed description of the situation outside to the prime minister of Huainan, and the prime minister of Huainan said silently: "I see, then tomorrow morning I will order the 30,000 horses in Huainan to go out of the city to meet the fire outside the city, eliminate the rebels, and the remaining 20,000 horses to defend Shouchun, a few of you will rest under the tent first, and go out of the city tomorrow morning to attack at the same time with the team." ”

"The prime minister is wise. ”

At dawn the next day, the eight thousand men and horses led by Yuan Ang and the county lieutenant outside Shouchun City lit the fire as promised, attacked inside and outside, and the troops of Tian Lubo who were killed were caught off guard, Tian Lubo escaped from the encirclement with dozens of personal guards and fled in the direction of Liu Bi, the king of Wu, Zhang Jiayang and Yuan Ang were quickly surrendered to Tian Lubo's scattered soldiers, and then consulted the prime minister of Huainan and the opinions of the king of Lujiang and the king of Hengshan, and reorganized the team and quickly pursued the remnants of Tian Lubo.

And said that Liu Wu, the king of Liang, sent envoys several times to ask Zhou Yafu to send troops to relieve the siege of Suiyang, but the emperor and Zhou Yafu refused to send troops to let Suiyang Jiancheng frustrate the spirit of the Wu and Chu coalition forces, even if the Empress Dowager Dou finally came forward to let the emperor Liu Qi order Zhou Yafu to send troops to save his youngest son Liu Wu It was not effective, and Liu Wu sent Han Anguo and Zhang Yu to defend several times to repel the attacks of the Wu and Chu coalition forces, and it was really all the power that could be used, one day Liu Wu called Li Guang to the palace and said: " Captain Xiaocai, now that Suiyang is in danger, this king will send you to the Zhou Yafu military camp again to ask for reinforcements. ”

"No, the minister will never fail in his mission. ”

"Okay, you have to lead some men and horses to break out of the camp of the Wu-Chu coalition army, and this king will make you a general and lead the soldiers to break out of the encirclement and move to rescue the soldiers. ”

"No. Li Guang was very happy in his heart, thinking that the emperor's younger brother Liu Wu, the king of Liang, personally crowned himself as a general, which was really a blessing from heaven.

So Li Guang led hundreds of carefully selected soldiers to rush out of the city gate at night, and slaughtered out of the camp of the Wu-Chu coalition army like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, and came to Changyi, the camp of the garrison of Taiwei Zhou Yafu.

Li Guang saw Zhou Yafu and said: "Report to the captain, Suiyang is now in danger, as long as the Wu-Chu coalition army makes a little more effort, I am afraid that the city will not be protected, please send rescue troops quickly to rescue the soldiers and civilians of the Liang State in danger." ”

"It turned out to be the captain of the cavalry, and the Wu-Chu coalition army was in full swing, and now is not the time to rescue Suiyang. ”

"Taiwei, there is the emperor's younger brother King Liang in Suiyang City, if there is a slight mistake, we can't afford to be guilty. ”

"Hahaha, Captain Xiaocai, when will it be your turn to explain to me the kinship between King Liang and the emperor, there are only generals who fight on the battlefield, and there is no difference between the emperor's relatives and the emperor's relatives, anyone must obey my dispatch, otherwise military law will be engaged." ”

Li Guang's heart was shocked, and he took a step back and said, "No." ”

Zhou Yafu eased up a little and said, "Since Captain Xiaoqi has come to Changyi, he happens to have an important mission, I don't know if you are interested in participating in it?"

"Listen to the captain. ”

"Okay, you will lead 3,000 light horsemen to the south, seize the mouth of Surabaya into Huai (in present-day Hongze, Jiangsu), cut off the passage for the Wu army to transport grain, and then fly back after you have done it, there is a big battle waiting for you to fight. ”

"No, my subordinates will definitely complete the task. ”

So Li Guang led 3,000 elite soldiers, only prepared rations on the road, bypassed the enemy camp, and hurried south, smoothly cutting off the passage for Wu's army to transport grain.

This news was immediately uploaded to the account of Liu Bi, the king of Wu, and Liu Bi said angrily: "Zhou Yafu, good boy, you dare to cut off my grain channel, I want to kill you to relieve the hatred in my heart." ”

Later, the generals and strategists in the battalion were invited to discuss, and everyone also talked about it, and some said: "It's better to capture Suiyang quickly, all kinds of problems will be solved once the city is broken, and it should not be a problem to solve the supply problem with food in the city." ”

Some said: "It's better to hurry up and find Zhou Yafu to fight to the death, catch him and cut off his head, and then the tree will fall and scatter, and Chang'an will be in the pocket of my Wu-Chu coalition army." ”

Some said: "It is better to bypass Suiyang and march westward, enter the western mountainous area, and give full play to the advantage of our large number of infantry, so that we can carry out a long-term response." ”

Anyway, there is everything to say, which makes Wu Wang Liu Bi puzzled, and suddenly thought of the Zhonglang official Shi Lao outside the tent, and immediately called him in to ask for a good plan.

Shi Lao looked at the surrounding generals and said: "Today's matter is really in front of you, it is extremely unfavorable to the Wuchu coalition army, the command power of the coalition army cannot be centralized, and now that the grain channel has been cut off, it is the right way to quietly withdraw troops to preserve strength." ”

Liu Biao, the king of Wu, suddenly said angrily: "Nonsense, this king has never considered retreating since he started the army, don't mess with our army's heart and get out." ”

"Yes, the minister is talking nonsense, and the minister is retiring. Shi Lao found that the momentum was not right, so he hurriedly kowtowed and apologized, and then silently withdrew from the big tent.

Liu Bi calmed down and said silently: "The generals listen to my generals, carry out a big attack on Suiyang early tomorrow morning, and occupy Suiyang as soon as possible." ”

"No. ”

The next day, hundreds of thousands of Wu and Chu coalition troops frantically attacked Suiyang, Suiyang City in the Liang generals Han Anguo and Zhang Yu under the careful defense of the guard, the Liang army suffered heavy casualties, Wu Chu coalition army was even more casualties tens of thousands, Wu army had a treasure knife and could not enter the city to fight, were shot by arrows, Liu Wei saw this situation had to stop the attack, so after seven days, the grain officer came to report to the king of Wu and said: "King, the grain truck has not arrived for a long time, and now the grain and grass are insufficient." ”

"Oh, a few more days to supply?"

"If you can't do it for seven days, you can do it for 10 days if you cut one meal a day. ”

"Okay, three meals a day will be changed to two meals a day, and the grain and grass will arrive soon. ”

"No. ”

Within three days, the Wu and Chu coalition troops all went to the tent of Liu Bi, the king of Wu, and complained: "King, we can't eat enough, do you know how to win the battle if we continue like this." ”

Liu Bi heard the complaints of the generals, and was eager to find a solution, in order to prevent the soldiers from mutiny, he silently came up with an idea: "Kill Shi Lao, who came up with the idea of retiring from the army, to show his determination to advance, and then lead the troops to Changyi and kill Zhou Yafu." ”

So he called his personal guards and ordered to kill Shi Lao, who knew that Shi Lao overheard it, Shi Lao led the Black Tiger and Xiao Zhuge to escape from the Wuchu coalition camp in a panic overnight and disappeared into the night.

The angry Liu Bi took the case and ordered: "Gather people and horses to turn around and march to Changyi." ”

In the camp of Zhou Yafu in Changyi City, all the soldiers spent two months here without participating in the war, and they were all gearing up, when suddenly a group of rebels mixed into the camp and spread rumors, and suddenly there was a small riot in the camp, and some generals rushed to Zhou Yafu's camp in a panic and reported: "The captain is not good, and there are rebels who have come in." ”

Zhou Yafu was resting on the bed, when he heard the general's report, he opened his eyes slightly, and said unhurriedly: "What's the hurry, what's the big deal, go investigate it and report it again?"

Not long after the general went out, he reported in the account again: "Report to the captain, the riot outside the tent has subsided." ”

"Hahaha, don't panic in case of trouble, be careful of disturbing the morale of the army. ”

"No. ”

After the generals learned about this, they all admired and admired the ability of Tai Lieutenant Zhou Yafu to stabilize the morale of the army, and they were all proud to obey Tai Lieutenant's orders.

A few days later, Tanma suddenly came to report: "Report to Captain, the Wu-Chu coalition army has abandoned Suiyang and is coming to kill us in Changyi." ”

"It's finally time to come, and I've ordered all the generals to defend the Changyi camp well, and no one can attack without my order. ”

"No. ”

Liu Wei led the army of Wu Chu to the camp of Changyi and sent the vanguard to call for battle, and Zhou Yafu ordered the soldiers to strictly defend and ignore the call of King Wu.
