Yingchuan County guarded the Qiangyuan garrison Xu County and actively cooperated with Zhang Han to go south. At this time, Zhang Han heard that Lü Chen had killed Zhuang Jia and reoccupied Chencheng, so he let Qiang Yuan lead his troops south, and he also sent two captains to assist him in attacking Chencheng.

Qiang Yuan immediately sent troops. When Lu Chen heard that Qiang was in the background, he personally led his army to meet him, and the two armies met in Weishui. Qiang Yuan set up a formation on the other side of the river, and then stood by the river and watched, looked at Lu Chen's army and said, "Although there are many thieves, it is really a rabble." "He erected more than a dozen pontoon bridges on the water, and then led the crowd to cross the bridge. Seeing that the Qin army was approaching, Lu Chen did not show weakness, and commanded the army to meet him. The two sides fought at the water's edge. In the end, Lu Jun couldn't resist it, so he had to retreat ten miles to the village. Seeing that all the Qin troops had crossed the river, Qiang Yuan ordered the pontoon bridge to be burned, and said: "Behind us is Weishui, there is no way to retreat, we can only fight to the death with the rebels!" The morale of the Qin army was greatly boosted, so they covered up again. Lu Chen commanded the Chu army to retreat while fighting, and at this time, a Qin general quickly chased after him and said: "I am Deng Chang, the general of the Qin State, surrender quickly!" Lu Chen was furious and responded with his weapons in battle. The two fought for more than a dozen rounds, but Deng Chang couldn't win, so he turned around and left. Lu Chen chased closely from behind, and when he was about to catch up, Deng Chang suddenly turned around and shot an arrow, which hit the heart guard. At this time, Huang Zhen, the general of the Chu army, saw that Lu Chen was in danger, and patted his horse to save him, but unexpectedly killed another general from the side, and this person came to fight Huang Zhen with a weapon. The two fought for a few rounds, and Huang Zhen beheaded the Qin general. Lu Chen also fought hard at this time, and the Qin army slowly retreated.

At this moment, Lu Chen's father, Lu Jing, suddenly caught up and said: "Oh no, Zhang Han sent the left captain Xie Fei and the right captain Ju Yong to attack Chen Cheng, the city has been captured by them, and those who didn't have time to get out of the city were also killed by the Qin army, and the people also died a lot!" When Lu Chen heard this, he had no choice but to abandon the Qin army in Weishui and rush to Chencheng. Xie Fei saw that Lu Chen had come to the city, so he said to Ji Yong: "Now that they have suffered defeat and are homeless, they should notify Qiang Yuan and let him lead his troops to attack, and they can completely defeat Lu Chen." After the two of them had a plan, they immediately sent someone to contact Qiang Yuan. At about ugly time that night, Qiang Yuan's troops really arrived and launched an attack on Lu Chen's military camp. Xie Fei and Ju Yong heard the sound of killing, and also opened the city gate and came out. Lu Chen saw that the Qin army was attacking in front and back, and the formation was disrupted, so he had to protect his father to break through. At this time, Xie Fei and Ju Yong chased after each other again, and they brandished their weapons and shouted: "Lu Chen, quickly dismount and surrender?" Because Lu Chen wanted to protect his father and was unable to fight, he was defeated and fled. General Qin was still chasing closely from behind.

Lu Chen's retreat was all routed, and they ran wildly for fifty miles before stopping. At this time, Lu Chen found that there were only a few hundred people left around him, and looked up to the sky and mourned: "Oh my God! My foot soldiers are all gone, how can I fight again? Someone persuaded: "General, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, as long as we call for men and horses again, we can fight again!" Lu Chen's mood stabilized a little, and he took everyone to a place called Qingpo Village to rest. When the people nearby heard that it was King Zhang Chu's men and horses arriving, they took the initiative to take out some food for everyone to satisfy their hunger. Lu Chen was very grateful to these people.

At dawn the next day, the soldiers were still in the haze, and suddenly heard the drums vibrating, and a soldier and horse suddenly came to the camp of the Chu army from nowhere, and they were still carrying a big banner with the four big characters of 'invincible king' written on it. Lu Chen and the others hurriedly went out of the camp to inspect, only to know that it was a bandit road tyrant, and they complained bitterly. After a while, the gang surrounded their camp. Lu Chen told everyone not to panic, and after a closer look, a man in the lead rode a big black horse, wearing chain mail, a long red cloak, and a two-moon halberd, which was very majestic, and came to the front of the camp and shouted: "Leave the horses and weapons!" Lu Chen saw that there was a black mark on this person's face, and thought that it must be a big villain, so he scolded: "Thief with a black face, you dare to rob the generals? The strong man laughed and said, "What general? It's obviously a rat, leave something quickly, don't be verbose! Lu Chen was furious, so he rode his horse and prepared to fight. Suddenly, there was a bang, and hook hands had already sprung up all around, hooking Lu Chen's horse legs and falling to the ground. Huang Zhen and other generals behind Lu Chen said together: "The black-faced thief, compensate us for our strength!" With that, he rushed towards the strong man with his weapon. The strong man thrust the iron halberd into the ground and grabbed the weapons of several people, and several people struggled hard, to no avail. The strong man shouted, and the war horses of Huang Zhen and the others were frightened, so they fell to the ground, and they were all caught by the hook hands.

Lu Qing was old-fashioned, and when he saw that his son and generals were caught by robbers, he asked, "Hero, who are you?" The strong man smiled: "Leave the things behind, I won't hurt you!" Lu Chen sighed: "Horses and weapons are the lives of soldiers, and I would rather die than give them to you!" At this moment, a scholar behind the strong man waved the flag, and his man retreated. Seeing this, Lu Qing said to Lu Chen: "Son, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, it is better to give them the horses, and we can still fight on foot." Lu Chen said: "As soon as our army is defeated, there will be only this cavalry left, if we lose our war horses again, how can we fight Zhang Han in a decisive battle?" When the scholar heard this, he asked in a loud voice, "Who are you?" Huang Zhen replied first: "We are the soldiers and horses of King Zhang Chu, and we have been defeated by the Qin army so far. The scholar looked at Lu Chen and asked, "Could it be that the general is General Lu Chen who killed the traitor Zhuang Jia?" Lu Chen said exactly. When the strong man and the scholar heard this, they hurriedly dismounted, came to Lu Chen, first loosened their ties, and then bowed their heads and bowed.

Seeing this, Lu Chen was shocked: "The two heroes have great names? The strong man said: "My name is Yingbu, I have been tortured, and everyone in the rivers and lakes calls me Dubu." When Lu Chen heard that he was Tu Bu, he hurriedly helped him up and said, "You are the Tu Bu who rebelled out of Xianyang and killed the 'Four Sons of the Royal Family' in the past, a strong man?" Yingbu replied, "It is under it." Lu Chen was overjoyed and said: "Oh, the deeds of the strong man have already shocked the world, the name of the strong man is really thunderous, I don't want to see you here today, I am fortunate to be happy!" The scholar also came forward to meet him. Lu Chen asked him his name. "He is my brother Zhu Jian, who has a different surname, and he once rebelled out of Xianyang with me. Lu Chenxi said: "So that's the case, but I don't know why the two strong men are here?" Ying said: "After the two of us left the customs, they fell into the grass in Peng Lize. Later, I heard that Wu Rui called for an uprising in Fanyang County, so he went to defect together. Lord Wu Rui is really a hero, not only recruiting us as sons-in-law, but also allocating thousands of people. Recently, I heard that General Lu raised troops in Xinyang and killed that traitor, so Lord Wu Rui sent us to defect to General Lu, I don't want to meet here, what a blessing! ”

When Lu Chen heard this, he was overjoyed, and when he saw that they were all strong men, he excitedly took Yingbu's hand and said, "With the help of strong men today, the Chu State must still be saved!" I have admired the name of the strong man for a long time, and when I see you today, I want to be a brother of the opposite sex with you, and then revive the Chu State, I don't know what the strong man means? As soon as he heard this, he immediately said: "I can't ask for it to be able to bow to the general!" The two of them immediately turned the soil into incense, knelt on the ground and bowed, and then said in unison: "The emperor is above, I, Lu Chen (Yingbu), and Yingbu (Lu Chen) are brothers with different surnames today, and we will jointly oppose Qin and Fuchu in the future, if you are ungrateful, you will definitely die under the blade!" After the worship, Lu Chen was older and became the eldest brother, and Tu Bu became the younger brother, and he was overjoyed.

At that moment, Yingbu ordered him to camp in an open place, and then said to Lu Chen: "I have a friend named General Pu, not far from here, and he is called 'General Pu' on the rivers and lakes. This person is strong in martial arts, just because he keeps filial piety at home, and now that the filial piety period has expired, if he is invited, we will have a helper to destroy Qin. Lu Chen was overjoyed, so he immediately entrusted Duo Bu to invite General Pu. There was not much time, and Tu Bu really led General Pu to the barracks. When Lu Chen saw that this person had a tiger's head and leopard eyes, a blue face and purple hair, and a tall figure, he hurriedly welcomed him into the camp. General Pu saw Lu Chen, bowed his head and said: "People in the mountains and wilderness, the old general of Domeng Lu is very important, and he is willing to serve Zhang Chu's cause in the future!" Lu Chen was overjoyed and said, "Now that you two heroes are helping, why can't I break Zhang Han?" He then gathered all the soldiers and horses, about 3,000 men, most of whom were Qin guards who had fled to the rivers and lakes. Lu Chen and the others were really happy, so they ordered the cattle to be slaughtered and the sheep were slaughtered, and celebrated extensively.

The next day, Lü Chen was discussing military affairs with everyone, when suddenly a military agent came to report that a Qin army had been killed in the north. Lu Chen asked how many soldiers and horses came. Tanma replied: "It is Xie Fei and Ji Yong, the left and right captains of the Qin army, who each led 5,000 men and horses. Yingbu asked Lu Chen: "Big brother, who is the leader of the troops?" Lu Chen said: "It's Zhang Han's left and right captains, the two of them are very brave, it is they who captured Chen Cheng and chased us all the way here!" Yingbu smiled: "I see, I'll cut off a skull first, and I'll be mighty!" Lu Chen put the people out of the way, and he was in the center. On the left are Tu Bu, Zhu Jian, Han Lier and others. On the right are generals such as Pu Jiang, Huang Zhen, and Fan Yong, and everyone is ready to fight.

There was not much time, and sure enough, the Qin army was pouring in like a tide. I saw that at the place where the Luan bell rang, a flying horse came to the front of the battle, it was the Qin general Xie Fei, he saw that someone intercepted him, and said arrogantly: "Anti-country thief, hurry up and give your head!" Lu Chen shouted: "Your time of death is coming, don't show off your might!" Do you know who this strong man is next to me? Xie Fei looked at the black cloth contemptuously, and laughed wildly: "It's a black-faced thief!" Yingbu was furious, raised his double moon halberd and said, "Look at the thorns! Then he stepped forward and slew. Xie Fei hurriedly said: "Huh! I don't kill the nobody! Yingbu said: "You thing, I am the Jiangyang thief who rebelled out of Xianyang in the past, seized the pass, and killed the 'four sons of the royal family'!" As soon as Xie Fei heard that he was a thief, he said, "I'm taking you as a thief!" Kill! "Let's fight out. Ji Yong, who was standing behind him, thought that Di Bu was indeed a key criminal of the country, and if Xie Fei was killed, the credit would be his, and he hurriedly said: "General Xie, I'll help you!" "Let's go and kill Tuobu. Seeing that the two Qin generals rushed over together, Duo Bu looked at the heads of the two, and with a loud shout, he wheeled up the double moon halberd and swept the generals fiercely. The second general was stunned by the roar, and before he could fight back, the twin moon halberds had already flown over, and the two heads were immediately beaten into flesh foam, blood was splashed, and brains burst out, and the two of them had already reported to Lord Yama. Later generations have poems to praise:

The hero builds momentum to help the times and kills the two chiefs like killing children.

At the beginning of the year, the power will be displayed, and Lishan will not live in it from then on.

Duo Bu beheaded two Qin generals, galloped to the front of the Qin army, pointed at the Qin army with a blood halberd and said, "Which of you still wants to die for the Qin State?" The soldiers were already frightened, and they all crawled down and said, "I am willing to surrender!" "All of them surrendered to the Chu army. When Lu Chen saw that 10,000 soldiers and horses had been added, he boasted and said: "The virtuous brother is simply Meng Ben is alive, Xia Yu is resurrected!" Lu Chen then led everyone to kill Chen Cheng, and the people rushed to join the army along the way.

The army came to Chencheng, and at this time Qin generals Qiang Yuan and Zhang Hu and others closed their doors. Zhu Jian came up with an idea and said: "General Qin didn't come out because he knew that we had killed the left and right captains, so they were waiting for Zhang Han." After giving such and such an order to Lu Chen, Lu Chen led the Chu army to the east. When Qiang Yuantan heard that the Chu army had retreated, he asked Zhang Hu to come out and follow and chase after him, and he defended the city himself. As soon as Zhang Hu left the city, he was blocked from the front by a big man with a big sword, and this person was the Pu general who had been ambushed here in advance. Zhang Hu was caught off guard, and was cut off half of the Tianling cover by General Pu, and then rushed towards the city. Qiang Yuan hurriedly ordered the city gate to be closed. Suddenly, I heard a great shout in the city. Someone Pegasus came to report that it was Tubu who had entered the city. Qiang Yuan was so frightened that he had to abandon the city and flee from other gates. There is a poem praising Pu Jiang said:

Born in the Warring States period, he sighed for poverty, and the fortune of the boy in the world was not new.

Rong Ma talked about jokes on the journey, and the country didn't believe in it, but only Yingqin.

It turned out that Lu Chen listened to Zhu Jian's strategy, and asked General Pu to ambush outside the city, and Di Bu attacked the city, and he himself went out of the city to lure the Qin army. Qin Jun was really fooled. Now that the army has entered the city, Lu Chen first appeased the people, and then counted the money and grain in the government treasury and the household registration treasury, and found that the people had been sharply reduced to one-third of the original, and he was not sad in his heart. That night, Lu Chen said to everyone: "Chen Cheng is the capital of Zhang Chu, since King Zhang Chu captured Chen Cheng to fail, it can be regarded as one in and one out. Later, I raised troops in Xinyang and entered Chen Cheng, but I was attacked by Xie and the second general of the drama, and Chen Cheng was lost again, which was regarded as two in and two out. Now the two virtuous brothers have helped me recapture Chen Cheng again, which can be regarded as the third entry into Chen Cheng. I'm really worried about whether I'll be able to hold the city in the future. "Please rest assured, eldest brother, I have a double moon halberd, even if I have 100,000 Qin soldiers, what is there to fear?" Lu Chen said: "The two virtuous brothers are indeed Chen Cheng's guarantee. He appointed Tu Bu as the left captain, Pu as the right captain, Han Lier, Huang Zhen and others as captains, and Zhu Jian as the marching Sima to guard Chen Cheng together.
