Tongguan is the first Xiongguan leading to Luoyang, and there are famous generals like Zhang He guarding it, Zhao Shu knows that it is not easy to attack, so he has to take advantage of opportunism. One nitrate, two sulfur and three charcoal, although these words are very simple to memorize, but for several years, since Zhao Shu came to power, he ordered people to repeatedly experiment in Sichuan, and finally achieved success. However, the raw materials are limited, and the production is not as convenient as imagined, Zhao Shu easily saved a few tons, but all of them were spent on Zhang He's body, even if he died, he should be blind. Conquering Tongguan, the world was shaken, Hongnong Wei was already frightened and could not distinguish the southeast and northwest, and when Zhao Shu's army arrived, he immediately went out of the city to surrender. Zhao Shu wanted to win the hearts of the Wei people, and immediately added officials to the rank of knight, and entertained them with good food and drink, and wanted to continue to advance eastward, but Cao Zhen had already stationed heavy troops on the front line of Mianchi and Hangu Pass. Although the Han army won consecutive victories and morale was high, Cao Wei's iron cavalry was not a tiger made of paper, so Zhao Shu temporarily stationed troops in Ma Hongnong, wanting to wait for news from Eastern Wu.

Before the news of Dongwu came, it first came that Cao Zhen had raised his army and rushed to kill. The pioneer Sun Li has passed through Shaanxi County, and the generals are eager to fight, and Zhao Shu also knows that the war is inevitable, so he still uses Wei Yan as the former superintendent to meet the Wei army. The two formations were in a circle, Wei Yan wanted to fight by himself, but Jiang Wei rushed out first, shouting: "I am Tianshui Jiang Wei, who dares to fight?" Before Sun Li could answer, he turned to Zhu Zan, the deputy vanguard, and said: "Use a knife to kill chickens, and the general will see Jiang Wei's head." Nai went out and scolded: "Treasonous thief, why don't you quickly get off your horse and die? Jiang Wei was furious when he heard this, and the prancing horse came to fight with a gun. Zhu Zan was his opponent, and he couldn't count the battles, Jiang Wei shook his spirit, stabbed him under the horse with one shot, and killed him with one shot.

Wei Yan saw Jiang Wei win later, swung his sword, and swung his army to attack. Sun Li also drove his troops to fight, but the Wei army was defeated in a row, and lost its sharpness early, and now seeing Zhu Zan's defeat, morale is even lower. Soon after the battle, they retreated one after another, and Sun Li couldn't stop drinking, so he could only be defeated with the army. Wei Yan covered up for a while, and personally applauded and returned to the camp to ask for a reward.

However, he said that Sun Li led the defeated army to see Cao Zhen, and Cao Zhen saw that he was defeated for a while, and he was displeased, so he just appeased him a few words and asked him to retreat. He was subject to the emperor's one-month deadline, and instead of a clever plan to break the enemy, he suffered another defeat at this moment, and he was naturally depressed. Fei Yao, the middle guard next to him, saw that the main general bowed his head and said silently: "Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, the Shu army has won consecutive victories, morale is flourishing, and it is difficult to break through." The Metropolitan Governor does not need to be in a hurry. Cao Zhen sighed when he heard this: "The public doesn't know, when the governor of Pontus set out on the expedition, those incompetent rats in the court who are greedy for life and afraid of death are already advising His Majesty to move the capital. His Majesty hesitated, and only gave the governor of Pontus a one-month period, and if he could not repel the Han army, he would move the capital to Yecheng. Now that our army has been defeated again, if it reaches the capital, I am afraid that Your Majesty will ...... Alas! ”

Fei Yao pondered for a moment, and said: "The governor doesn't have to worry, there will be a plan to offer in the end, but the Han army can be broken." Cao Zhen was immediately overjoyed and said, "Come on." Fei Yao then whispered a few words in Cao Zhen's ear, and Cao Zhennai shook his head and said: "Zhao Shu is treacherous, this plan may not work." Fei Yao fell to the ground and said: "The Han army has won consecutive victories, and the army will be arrogant, and we will not put our army in our eyes for a long time." The last general is willing to carry out this plan, even if it cannot be successful, but it is just to repay the court's kindness with this humble body. Cao Zhen hesitated again and again, looking at Fei Yao's face full of expectations, and he had nothing to do to break Zhao Shu, so he had to say: "The general is loyal to the country, and the general is still careful in everything." ”

That night, Fei Yao only brought dozens of his henchmen to the front of the Shu Han camp and asked to see Zhao Shu. When Zhao Shu heard his identity and name, he couldn't help but smile secretly, but he was promoted to gather the general and invited him in. Fei Yao entered the account and saw that the generals of the Han army were all draped, and each hand pressed the hilt of the sword, he was a little frightened at first, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said, "Meet the general." Zhao Shu didn't ask him to get up, but just sneered: "The general is the general of the Wei State, how can he be willing to surrender my Han?" Fei Yao replied: "A certain person has received a heavy favor from the imperial court, and he should not have surrendered." It's just that Cao Zhen didn't listen to the advice and was defeated, although he was not talented, he also understood the truth that 'good birds choose trees to perch, and good ministers choose masters and serve'. How can they die with them? ”

Zhao Shu nodded slightly, and asked again: "General Yan Cao really doesn't listen to the advice, what is the matter?" Fei Yao then said: "The Wei army has suffered defeats and low morale, and a certain Jin said Cao Zhen, hoping that he can retreat to Mianchi, rely on the strong city, resist the general's army, and then clear the field, and when the general's food and grass are exhausted, he will retreat." However, Cao Zhen insisted on fighting a decisive battle with the general here, but instead of using good words, he framed a certain rumor to confuse the public, disturbed the morale of the army, and beat fifty military sticks in public. A dignified seven-foot man, how could he be humiliated by this, so he came to surrender to the general. As he spoke, he unfastened his armor, revealing the wound on his back.

It really made the skin open and the flesh was open, and it was sad to see. Zhao Shusui stepped forward in person, helped him up and said, "Fortunately, Cao Zhen doesn't need the general's words, otherwise my army will be in danger." The general can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, which is the blessing of our army. Fei Yao was about to thank him, but he heard Huan Yi say: "The general must not fall for this person's bitter tricks." I was suddenly shocked in my heart, and I was busy bowing to the ground, crying: "A certain heart is coming to surrender, if the general is suspicious, please kill a certain on the spot, only blame a certain pair of eyes and mistaken general." Zhao Shu helped him up again, scolded Huan Yi and said: "How can you win the heart of the world's heroes with such measurements?" Fei Yao said: "The general is relieved, I know that the general is loyal, not a repeated person, and he will be undeceived if he comes and surrenders." One of my subordinates is very good at medical skills, who can treat the general's wounds, and when the injuries are better, he will set up a wine reception for the general. "I ordered Ye Feng to take Fei Yao down to heal his injuries and rest. Fei Yao only said that Zhao Shu was deceived by it, and he was overjoyed in his heart, and he quit the camp with a thousand thanks.

When Huan Yi saw him leaving, he was displeased and said, "How can the general really believe his words? Zhao Shu said with a smile: "I don't know that Fei Yao saw the successive victories of our army, thought that the army would be arrogant, and treated the generals well, so he came to surrender." Just forgive him dozens of people, what is there to fear if he stays in the camp? After waiting for his peace of mind, he colluded with Cao Zhen to attack, just to plan and break the Wei army. Huan Yi heard that he had already planned, and said with a smile: "The general is in his chest, and the last general is too worried." Zhao Shu smiled again: "If it weren't for the general, Fei Yao might not be able to believe it." Tomorrow, Cao Zhen will definitely send troops to fight, and you will go back to the camp to rest, and wait for the next day to fight with the Wei army. ”

The next day, Cao Zhen really led the army to challenge in front of the Han military camp, and kept saying that he wanted the traitor Fei Yao. Zhao Shu heard that Cao Zhen was coming, and he also brought Fei Yao and the generals out of the array. The two armies each pressed their positions with strong bows and crossbows, Cao Zhen pointed at Fei Yao, looked back at the generals, and said, "Who captured this thief with the governor of Pontus?" As soon as the words fell, a general said loudly: "The last general wishes." The sound was like thunder, the body was like a bear, and he rode out of the horse, and the big knife in his hand went straight to Fei Yao. The Han army turned out of Huan Yi in the formation, and the horizontal knife shouted: "What is the name of the general?" Hugh will rush at my feet. ”

The Wei general Nai Lerma said, "I am Wang Shuang, the general of the Great Wei Huwei." Who are you? Huan Yi snorted coldly and said, "No nameless general, can you recognize the general Huan Yi?" Seeing his rudeness, Wang Shuang was furious and danced with a knife to fight. Both of them made a big knife, one with exquisite knife skills, and the other with heavy knife momentum, both of them were fierce generals in the world, and they fought for dozens of rounds but it was difficult to distinguish the winner from defeat. Annoyed by Wei Yan in the Han army, Nai Tima came out of the battle and shouted: "Who dares to fight to the death with someone?" ”

The generals of the Wei army knew Wei Yan a lot, and they were afraid of his bravery, so they did not dare to go into battle. Only Cao Zun patted the horse and said: "Everyone else is afraid of you Wei Yan, but General Ben is not afraid." "Gun to fight. The two fought for only three or five rounds, Wei Yan sold a flaw, shouted loudly, and beheaded Cao Zun under the horse. Fu smiled: "With such skills, you dare to come out and show ugliness?" "It's a dancing knife to take Cao Zhen directly. How can Cao Zhen be able to defeat Wei Yan's bravery? Hurriedly retreated into battle. Zhao Shu turned to the generals and said: "Wen Chang's majesty has not diminished back then. So he waved his army and rushed forward to kill. When the generals of the Wei army saw Cao Zhen leaving first, they all retreated one after another, and the soldiers under them even lost their armor and collapsed. Although Wang Shuang and Huan Yi were evenly matched, they could not support it alone, so they had to keep Cao Zhen from retreating.

The Han army won another victory, and after Zhao Shu returned to the camp, he ordered the cattle to be slaughtered and the sheep to reward the three armies. During the banquet, Fei Yaonai offered a plan and said: "Cao Zhen was defeated today, if he retreats to Michi, it will be difficult for my army to break through." It is better to take tonight, with the victorious army, and rob the Wei camp again, Cao Zhen will not be on guard, and he will definitely win a complete victory. Zhao Shunai stroked his palm and said: "The general's plan is wonderful. So he ordered people to remove the wine and food, and immediately assigned the generals to rob Cao Zhen's camp at night. The generals went down to prepare, and Zhao Shu smiled at Fei Yao and said, "Tonight, the general and I will wait in the camp for the good news of the generals." Fei Yao replied: "The last general wishes the general this immortal achievement. The two of them had their own ghosts, and they both laughed.

Fei Yao returned to the tent and hurriedly asked his henchmen to sneak out of the camp and go to Cao Zhen's camp to report the news. Cao Zhenyuan made an appointment with Fei Yao, and today's defeat before the battle was mostly a trick to lure the enemy. Knowing that Zhao Shu was really deceived, he immediately ordered Sun Li and Zhang Xiong to ambush in the middle of the way, waiting for the Han army to come and rob the camp. But he took Wang Shuang as the front, personally led the elite soldiers, and took advantage of the situation to rob the Han camp.

On the third watch that night, sure enough, when he saw the fire in Zhao Shu's camp, Cao Zhen only said that Fei Yao had succeeded, and hurriedly ordered Wang Shuang to lead the army into the camp. Wang Shuangyi took the lead and rushed into the camp, but he didn't see a single Han army, so he knew the plan. When he was about to retreat, he heard a few bangs, and arrows were like flying locusts in the darkness. Poor Northern Wei general, before he made an inch, he was shot into a hedgehog, and all his martial arts were in vain.

Cao Zhen was behind, knowing the plan, and hurriedly retreated, but countless Han troops were killed left and right, and the general Huan Yi immediately laughed and said: "Cao Zidan, the plan of my general in Ruzhong is also." "The Wei soldiers were in danger, and wherever they dared to fight, they all scattered and escaped. Cao Zhen had to be protected by his subordinates, so he managed to break out of the siege and collect the defeated army on the road and return to the camp.

Besides, Sun Li and Zhang Xiong's two generals waited for a long time to see the Han army coming, and they felt strange, so they saw a group of military horses coming from afar, and they didn't distinguish it, so they waved their troops and rushed to kill. After a moment of fighting, I realized that it was actually my own horse, and after inquiry, I learned that it was Cao Zhen's defeated army. Immediately shouted to stop, the battle was just about to subside, and a large army of Han troops was killed later, Sun Li looked fixedly, the main general was Wei Yan. Knowing that he was invincible, he hurriedly led the troops to defeat him, and met Cao Zhen in the chaos of the army. Count the people, three stops and one stop less.

Wei Yan and the others rushed to kill all night, and they all came to Zhao Shu's account to ask for credit. Zhao Shu ordered people to write them down one by one, and then beheaded Fei Yao. Fei Yao knew that his plan was discovered by the other party, and caused Cao Zhen to lose his soldiers, and he was full of regret, so he calmly suffered death. Zhao Shu remembered his loyalty and righteousness, and buried him with Wang Shuang's corpse. Just as he was about to discuss the matter of entering the army, Tanma came to report again that Cao Zhen had already led the army to retreat.
