As early as when the Chu army sent troops to Duting Mountain, Yushui Hou Bapeng expected that this time the situation would be more serious than the last time, and sent two envoys to Yelang, the Zhongqing of his own tribe, Bagui, as the chief envoy of Pakistan, to send Yelang again.

Bagui brought heavy gifts such as salt, gold, and Baxiang sake, and a few beauties went to Yelang and asked Yelangjun to send troops to help, Yelangjun agreed to send troops, but put forward a harsh condition: let Yu Hou send the little girl Bayi (Bayilan, Ayi) to Yelang, in the name of quality, but in fact it is ill-intentioned.

Bagui realized that the condition proposed by Yelangjun last time was not a joke, but wanted to take advantage of people's danger.

Bagui quickly returned to Yucheng and conveyed Yelangjun's conditions, but Yushuihou refused.

When the Chu army broke through the important military stronghold Shicheng, and Yu Hou's second son, Lieutenant General Ba Peng, was killed in battle, the situation became quite serious, and Yu Hou had to think of asking Yelang's army to come to the rescue again, so he had to agree to Yelangjun's conditions.

Yu Hou asked his daughter Bayi what she meant, and Bayi held back her tears and said: "If the building falls, how can it be finished." Ayi has no power to restrain the chicken, and he can't serve the battlefield like his brother, and share his father's worries, only a meager life given by his father, and only his father's life is obeyed!"

Yuhou endured the pain and cut his love, and sent Bagui to send Bayi to Yelang Country, halfway through, before leaving the country, he encountered a moving Chu army led by Chu General Zhaoyun, Bagui and Bayi were almost robbed, but fortunately escaped quickly and returned to Yucheng.

The situation is extremely urgent, and at the same time to prevent further accidents, Yu Hou sent Bagui to Yelang day and night, promising to send Bayi after the war, Yelangjun believed that the Pakistani people made a promise, and at the same time left Bagui as a hostage, and sent Gongzi Donan to lead troops to aid Pakistan.

Yelang Kingdom gathered more than 40,000 people from a coalition of many countries (tribes) such as the Turtle Kingdom, the Lan Kingdom, and the Wuyi Kingdom, and went straight to the Yushui battlefield under the leadership of Gongzi Duonan, only to enter the border of Ba less than 200 miles and encounter the Chu army.

The leader of the Chu army was the famous general Zhaoyun.

Zhao Yun is from a famous family, not only brave, but also strategic, for the Chu army's former Yicheng lord Yang Ming is quite fond of a talent, Yang Ming's degree of trust in him is comparable to Zhuang Fu.

This Chu army only has 3,000 people, it is a battle with a considerable disparity in strength, due to Zhao Yun's order to set up more banners, shouting, arranging suspicious soldiers, and the Yelang people think that it is still far from the battlefield, there is no ideological preparation at all, the Chu army fired a burst of arrows, and the Yelang coalition army was actually stunned.

The Yelang coalition army came reluctantly, each with two hearts, I don't know how many Chu troops there are, seeing this occasion, I thought there were tens of thousands of people, the wind was loud, the grass and trees were all soldiers, I don't know if it was the suspicious plan of the Chu people. When the Chu army rushed down the mountain with a shout, as soon as the battle began, the coalition army suddenly collapsed, leaving hundreds of corpses behind.

The Yelang coalition army scrambled to flee and retreated for more than 50 miles, and it was not easy for Duonan to contain the defeated army.

The general said to Duonan, the son of Yelang: "Is the population of Chu State denser than bamboo shoots, I heard that there are so many people in a place where the palm is big?"

Duonan said: "I lost the first battle out of the country, and my son is not convinced!

was discussing, and someone came to report: I heard that the Chu soldiers were chasing after them, and the people of small countries (tribes) such as turtles, Jilan, and Wuyi did not want to fight anymore and took the lead in escaping.

Donan was furious and scolded: "Without those few who are afraid of death, can't this son fight yet!"

The general of the Yelang Department persuaded Gongzi Duonan to retreat as well, and Duonan said: "I was ordered to relieve the danger of the Ba people, and their danger cannot be solved, so I fled first, what face do I have to return to my hometown!"

The general said: "The king has no solid intention to support the Ba people, we fought a big battle, with hundreds of dead and wounded, worthy of the salt and beauty of the Ba people." ”

Donan sighed: "Above the temple, no one believes in the story of the death of the lips and the cold teeth, or it will not be long before the people of Chu will suffer a big loss!"

The general insisted on persuasion, and Duonan knew that the people had no desire to fight, so he ordered the others to retreat and cut off the rear in person.

The general persuaded again, and Duonan said angrily: "The chicken eggs are big in the country, and there are still many sons and generals who have died in battle, is it possible that none of them will sacrifice their lives for the country in my big country! Today, with the death of my son, I hope that my people can wake up from their daydreams!"

After speaking, Duonan led the guards to block the Chu people.

Donan died at the hands of the Chu general Zhaoyun.

In this battle, the Chu army won more with less, not because Zhuang Fu and Zhaoyun were deliberately taking risks, but because they were confident.

Previously, Zhuang Fu, When the two of them discussed, they agreed that: first, Yelang came to the aid of Ba, half-hearted; second, the more Yelang people came, the more tribes they contacted, the easier it was to fight seven masters and eight hearts, the more they lacked coordination and training, the more rabble they were, the easier it was to fight, as long as the army of one tribe ran first, the others would follow; third, it was best to fight at the junction of Yelang and Ba, because at this time, the Yelang people had just left the country, thinking that they were still far from Yushui, their thinking was lax, and they were not well prepared, and when there was a disadvantage, they first thought of returning to their own territory to be safer; and fourth, as long as the Chu army did not enter the territory of Yelang, the Yelang people would not fight hard, therefore, even if there is better ambush terrain in the territory of Yoro, it is not possible to set up an ambush there; fifth, the first engagement must have the upper hand, and the people of Yoro cannot find out the true strength of the party.

Sure enough, as Zhuang Fu and Zhaoyun expected, Yelang's reinforcements collapsed in the first battle.

Yelang Yu fled in panic, and did not send anyone to report the situation to the Ba people, and was cut off by the Chu army from the source of information for the Ba people, and the Ba people were still looking at this eye. Even if the Chu general Douying had broken the last barrier of Yucheng, the Ba people still insisted on fighting with confidence, thinking that as long as they held on to Yucheng, as soon as Yelang's reinforcements arrived, there would be hope for internal and external attacks.

The battle in Yushui has reached the final decisive juncture, and the fighting on the Gongtan side seems to have stopped.

Chu general Qu Rong approached Gongtan, and during more than 20 days, he fought several small-scale battles with the Ba people led by the general of the Ba country, Gu Menglong, and the Chu army won fewer and lost more, so I will not go into detail one by one.

At this time, the temporary commander of the Pakistani army, Yu Menglong, had received the news that Tingziguan had been lost again, but he did not dare to divide his troops to support, because if Gongtan was lost, Yucheng would be attacked from both sides; at the same time, Yushui Yanquan was facing the crisis of falling, and the capital Jiangzhou did not send reinforcements, indicating that the Bashu front line was also tight.

Feeling under great pressure, he and the Longsheng General Mu Mangzi, the Longteng General Fan Yuntong, the Zhihu Mou Zhong and the leaders of the other tribes planned day and night to find a way to solve it, but they were rejected one plan after another.

On this morning, it was raining lightly.

The dragon inlay general Tu Tianqi, the dragon Fei general Wucheng, the deputy general of the Shicheng military camp Zheng Rong and three entourages, several boatmen, took two small wooden boats, disguised as local fishermen, set out from the Shengui Gorge of the Qianjiang River (now the Apeng River), and went to Shicheng, the military camp of Ba State, which had been occupied by the Chu people.

Along the way, the river is tortuous, the mountain is high and the water is deep, the water goes around the mountain, winds and turns, its bends are many, it is really rare in the canyon, it can really be said that "the boat is doubtful in front of the cliff, and the bow of the boat is turned and bends".

The scenery here is evidenced by the contemporary poet Beiyan Laodao's "Seven Laws":

The turtle has been lying quietly for thousands of years, and the fog surrounds the sky.

The moon shimmered into the waves, and the clouds turned into smoke in the wind.

The golden snake listens to the rain outside the covered bridge, and the male tiger watches the tide in front of the willows.

The third sister waited with her husband, and the Apeng River was honey and coptis.

Perhaps, the battlefield in the Danfushui area is the most beautiful battlefield in the world, under such a huge and mysterious set, every battle, the Pakistani warriors do not seem to be killing the enemy desperately, but like using blood and life to carry out a large-scale live performance.

Not far from Shicheng, the rain stopped early, the clouds opened and the fog dispersed, Tutian Ruler ordered the boat to hide on the shore, enter the forest, climb a hill, peek at Shicheng, only to see the Shicheng ferry, full of war boats, the Chu army is training the boat division, about three or four thousand people.

After looking at it for a long time, Tu Tianqi exclaimed: "The Chu soldiers have broken through the stone city, but in the past 20 days, where can there be such a neat boat master? ”

Zheng Rong said: "On that day, General Apeng was seriously wounded, and the Chu army seized Shicheng in a surge, and the army was defeated like a mountain, and most of the war boats fell into the hands of the Chu army. We desperately grabbed two or three hundred, and brought them to the Divine Ghost Gorge with only more than a thousand people.

"Not far from the stone city, there is a boat making field, utensils, wood, lacquer, etc. all fell into the hands of the Chu people, the weather was better a few days ago, only more than 20 days, you can build a lot of boats. ”

General Wu Cheng of Long Fei said: "I have been mixed in the Chu army, if you want to talk about the boat division, the king of Chu Guokang used the boat division to attack Wu, which was the first to start. ”

Tutian ruler said: "What is the state of Chu, my Ba people have already used boats to fight." ”

Wu Cheng said with a smile: "The canoe of the ancestors of the Pakistani country is not much bigger than the buttocks, and it is child's play, and it can be regarded as a boat battle? Now, the Chu army has accepted the powerful sailors of the Wu State, which is considered the strongest. I saw that some of the boats over there had been broken up and carried from the salt water. ”

Zheng Rong said: "It's also possible. ”

Tu Tianqi joked: "The fourth brother is well-informed. The Chu army's large boat division is the heart of Danfushui. ”

Ding Yan, a famous warrior and retinue of Tutian ruler, said: "The war boat is the foot of the boat master, and when it gets dark, he will burn all his boats to see how he goes down the river." ”

Tutian Qi smiled: "The war boat can be rebuilt after it is burned." ”

Wu Cheng smiled: "Then go and touch the night screw of his boat master." ”

Then, these Ba people moved about two miles closer to Shicheng, and after looking at it for a short time, they were worried that they would be discovered by the sentry of the Chu army, so they returned to the wooden boat and went down the river.

As soon as I entered the Turtle Gorge, a fast boat went up, and the people on the boat reported: "General Longpai, someone from Gongtan said that there was an urgent military situation." ”

Tu Tianqi exclaimed: "It's been a long time? Could it be that the Chu army has made trouble to Gongtan? Or is it that Yucheng has been lost?"
