Chapter Forty-Seven: Ke Junzhai is suspicious of Zhang Ren
Leng Bao was really good Wei Yanzhi expected, but it was a fraudulent surrender, the original intention was to think that Liu Ying was an internal response, and when the third watch was held, the fire was raised, and there were naturally soldiers and horses in the city to respond, and the internal and external attacks were only to break the enemy. But how could such a scheme be concealed from Zhao Shu and others? At the moment, the general planned to get drunk with wine during the banquet, but ordered Wei Yan, Huang Zhong, Guan Ping, and Liu Feng to ambush outside the camp on all sides, just waiting for the Sichuan army to come and rob the camp.
It was the third watch of the night, the fire in the Jingzhou military camp, the voices of people were chaotic, the Sichuan general Liu Bi, who had been waiting outside for a long time, hurriedly led the army into a swrench, rushed into the gate but saw that there were not many people in the camp, and immediately complained that the bitterness was known in the plan, and when it was time to retreat, the left Guan Ping, the right Liu Feng, the former Wei Yan, and the rear Huang Zhong, each led the soldiers and horses to kill. The soldiers of Xichuan were in chaos before the battle, the men and horses trampled on each other, and countless people died.
Liu Bei, Zhao Shu and other strategists stood up to Tushan to watch the battle, and saw that the Sichuan army was surrounded in the camp, and its strength was very weak; The four generals of their own side all showed off their might, rushing back and forth, wanting to make the first contribution. The battle was less than half a shift, and the victory was decided, and Liu Bei ordered people to surrender in Sichuan and shout in Sichuan, and those who surrendered would not die. The Sichuan army knew that they could not escape, and there were many people who surrendered. Liu Bi also fought hard to kill in the chaos of the army, but he couldn't get out, and saw that the people and horses on the left and right were either dead or surrendered, and there was not much left, so he shouted loudly: "But there are generals who died in battle in Sichuan, how can there be people who survive?" So he drew his sword and killed himself. The main general is dead, and the deputy general Lei Tong, Wu Lan will lead the crowd to surrender.
After the battle, Liu Bei accepted the soldiers, buried Liu Bi, and ordered someone to bring Leng Bao forward, but he was drunk and did not wake up. Liu Bei smiled: "What's the use of people like this staying? He ordered someone to launch the beheading, and called Wei Yan to appease him with kind words. Only in these two battles, the defenders of the city went to two of them, and all the generals wanted to storm the city. Only when Zhao Shu was still worried about Pang Tong's death and tried his best to stop it, the public would discuss it. The Rucheng Sichuan army did not dare to come out to provoke, and they got along for ten days.
And as time passed, Liu Bei saw that there was no good plan for a long time, and he was anxious, so he summoned Zhao Shu to enter the account and gather to discuss the matter of taking the city. Before they could talk, a soldier came to report, and there were guests outside the camp who asked to see him. Liu Bei was anxious to win the heart of Sergeant Chuan, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he let him in. When he was young, he went straight into the tent and regarded him as eight feet long and very great; The hair is truncated and draped around the neck; The clothes are not very neat.
His appearance was dressed, Liu Bei couldn't help frowning, but he still got up and said, "Who is Mr." The man did not answer, but sat aside. Liu Bei became more and more suspicious in his heart, and when he looked at Zhao Shu again, he didn't know what he meant, so he asked again and again. Only then did he lazily reply: "I have heard for a long time that the emperor's uncle Corporal Lixian has come for the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers. Uncle Huang didn't greet him personally, but only ordered someone to invite in, isn't it chilling? ”
Hearing such wild words, Zhao Shu suddenly remembered someone and asked, "Sir, is it Peng Yongyan?" The other party also exclaimed: "How can Mr. know so-and-so?" Sure enough, Zhao Shunai said to Liu Bei: "This duke is a native of Guanghan, surnamed Peng, named Yi, the word Yongyan, and a hero in Shu." Because of his outspokenness, he was resented by Liu Zhang, and was treated as an apprentice by Zhang. There are many heroes in Sichuan, and Liu Zhang can't use his ears. ”
Liu Bei dressed up and bowed to him, and said with a straight face: "I don't know if Mr. is coming, I haven't greeted him from afar, and I hope that Mr. is not strange." Peng Yi also got up and humbled, and Liu Beifu asked: "Mr. Shicai said that he came here for the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers, I don't know what he means?" Peng Yi replied: "For the way of the general, how can you not know the geography?" The front village is close to the Fujiang River, if the river is decided, the front and rear are jammed with soldiers, and one person can not escape. ”
When Zhao Shu guessed his identity, he also remembered this matter, and now when he listens to him, he still secretly blames himself for his carelessness, and only cares about Pang Tong's life and death, and even forgot such important matters, and almost missed the lives of more than 10,000 soldiers in Qianzhai. Liu Bei immediately came to his senses, hurriedly summoned Wei Yan, led the first army to inspect the Fujiang River, and worshiped Peng Yi as a guest and set up a banquet to wash the dust.
Wei Yan led his troops there, inspected for several days to no avail, and encountered heavy rain, so he wanted to retreat back to the village, but received news from the camp, and on the day of the strict order of precipitation, it was necessary to take strict precautions. Wei Yan was unable to return, and when he was complaining in his heart, he saw the sound of people and horses, and the Sichuan army was coming, so he was overjoyed, and without waiting for the other party to find out, he waved his army to rush over first.
Sichuan general Zhuo Ying came to dig the water of the Fujiang River on the order of the main general, and wanted to retreat the soldiers of Jingzhou, but he didn't want to be in the wind and rain, the other party was still prepared, and when Wei Yan was killed, he was caught off guard, and he was captured alive after only three or five rounds, and all the soldiers and horses he led surrendered. Wei Yan immediately escorted him back to the village, Liu Bei personally recruited him, and Zhuo Ying surrendered; rewarded Wei Yan again, and the Sichuan army folded for a while.
The next day, Liu Bei gathered the crowd again to the handsome tent, holding a book, and said: "Last night, General Zhang Ren of Yucheng sent a letter, and the Yanchuan army was defeated several times in a row, and all of them were still courageous. "The army has been delayed in the city for a long time, and now when they hear it, everyone is overjoyed, and several generals are eager to fight. Only Zhao Shu was silent, Liu Bei was strange, and asked, "Why didn't Jingwei say a word?" ”
Zhao Shu was always a little relieved about Zhang Renqi, but said: "Although the Sichuan army has been defeated for several days, there are still tens of thousands of soldiers in the city, and there are more generals such as Liu Xun and Wu Yi, all of whom are Liu Zhang's cronies, and I am afraid that it will not be easy to get." Liu Bei hesitated a little when he heard this, but Pang Tong said: "Sir's words are wrong. Although there are many soldiers and generals in the city, but there is no morale at all, how can the generals of the defeated army speak bravely? Now there is General Zhang as the internal response, if you don't take it at this time, when will you wait? The generals also agreed.
Liu Bei's mind turned again, nodded and said, "Our army has been delayed in Ruocheng for a long time. It is really not advisable to delay any longer, for fear of accidents. Then he wanted to give the order to send troops. Zhao Shu got up eagerly and shouted, "Is Zhang Renqi credible?" Everyone was suddenly silent, the victory or defeat of this battle was all due to Zhang Ren, but they were not familiar with it, who dared to take the liberty of guaranteeing?
Fa Zhengshi was in the tent, and seeing that everyone was silent, he also got up and said, "How suspicious is Zhao Junshi? General Zhang and I sincerely surrendered to the lord and had no ambition. Could it be that the military advisor thinks that you alone can serve the lord? There was a lot of displeasure in the words. Liu Bei was afraid that the two would hurt their harmony, so he spoke to dissuade them, but between his words, he was quite in favor of sending troops to take the city at night.
Zhao Shu saw that the situation could not be stopped, and suddenly remembered Kong Ming's words, and said: "Shu watches the sky at night, and Taibai is in the city of Luo; The commander has a lot of viciousness and little luck, so please be cautious. Liu Bei saw that he had repeatedly stopped him, and he hesitated in his heart. Fa Zheng privately said to Pang Tong: "This military advisor doesn't want us to make contributions." When Zhao Shu heard this, he glared at each other angrily and said loudly: "We both work for the lord, why do we divide each other?" The words of filial piety are excessive. Fa Zheng sneered, did not answer, only pinned his head to the side.
Pang Tong said deeply, and said loudly: "Tong receives the great favor of the lord, and he is willing to repay him with death." The military adviser spared his life, but he was willing to share the worries of the Lord.
