Sima Yi led 45,000 military horses straight to Liucheng, and suddenly a sergeant reported that Jingju had sent Liu Bang to lead a group of military horses to resist. After a while, someone came to report that Liu Bang's military horse was missing. Sima Yi laughed and said: "Liu Bang was frightened, he must have gone to Mangdang Mountain to fall into the grass again, haha!" At this time, the sergeant who came from the front reported again, saying that Liu Bang had gone around behind the Qin army. Deputy generals Chen Bi, Zhou Zao and others: "Chu Kou is going around behind him, he must be trying to flank us." Sima Yi said: "How dare a pavilion chief come to attack?" He must have been frightened and ran away with his tail between his legs! Hahaha! Sima Yi only smiled shamefully. Chen Bi didn't think so, so he said seriously: "General, I heard that Liu Bang once gathered in Mangdang Mountain, and killed the county commander and beheaded the county guard. Now that he has quietly slipped behind our army, he must have something else, right? Sima Yi said very contemptuously: "Even if he kills from behind, am I afraid that he will not succeed?" This time, you must set foot in the city and catch Liu Bang and Zhang Liang, you just wait and see! The killing of the Surabaya county guard was his own incompetence, not Liu Bang's hero. Hahaha! He categorically did not listen to Chen Bi's advice, and only urged the army to advance.

After walking for a while, the military detective suddenly came to report, saying that Liu Bang divided the army into two routes, all the way to attack Dangjun County, and all the way to attack Surabaya County! Sima Yi asked Liu Bang how many men he was carrying. The spy replied: "There are about a few thousand, but Liu Bang recently got one." Sima Yi asked who he could get. The sergeant replied, "It is the assassin Zhang Liang who assassinated the first emperor in Bolangsha before, and he was the one who gave advice to Liu Bang. Sima Yi was taken aback when he heard Zhang Liang's name, and said, "The person you are talking about, is it really the assassin who assassinated the first emperor in Bolangsha ten years ago?" The military detective replied affirmatively: "Yes, the people of Pei County are vying to join me!" Sima Yi was on fire now, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Zhang Liang, what a bold man!" I didn't catch you ten years ago, and I can't imagine hiding here! I swear to capture Zhang Liang first, and then attack Jingju! So he ordered the soldiers and horses to stop, and then ordered the deputy generals Ding Li, Wei Xuan, Liu Jian, Dai Ye, Chen He, Chen Juan and other generals to lead the brigade to stand by. Sima Yi brought 10,000 elite cavalry and said to Chen Bi, Zhou Zao, Chen Lan, Guo Xi, Liu Tang, Wu Xian and others: "Zhang Liang once assassinated the first emperor in Bolangsha, and he was a key criminal of the state, and now he is colluding with Liu Bang to make trouble, which is really a great crime!" If Zhang Liang is caught, it will be the same as catching Jingju, and the court will have a heavy reward! The generals shouted in unison: "Capture Zhang Liang first, then capture Jingju, eliminate the pseudo-Chu, and sweep away the rebellion!" "The arrogance was very arrogant, and Sima Yi really rushed to Dangxian County.

Pei Gong listened to Zhang Liang's plan and marched to Dangxian in a hurry, and the Qin army defending the city was naturally defenseless, and it was a sudden attack, so they occupied Dangxian in one fell swoop. After the Chu army entered the city, Zhang Liang first preached the benevolence of Pei Gong to the people, coupled with the strict discipline of the army, and the army of Chu, the people took out the cow wine to reward, and the city was jubilant. On the same day, Pei Gong asked Zhang Liang in the lobby of the county government how he knew that he would definitely be able to capture Dangxian. Zhang Liang said: "First, Sima Yi is invincible, and he didn't take us to heart at all, so he never thought that we would come to capture Dangxian; Second, Sima Yi transferred all the soldiers and horses in Dangxian County, which is what the art of war says, 'avoiding the real and making it virtual'. The generals were very impressed when they heard this. Pei Gong asked what to do next. Zhang Liang said without hesitation: "Sima Yi heard that we occupied Dangxian, and he will definitely come to fight in person." It is estimated that his soldiers and horses are about to arrive, and now he will meet the enemy with the city! ”

Sure enough, as Zhang Liang expected, the military scout came to report that the Qin army did not go to capture Liucheng, but stationed a large army on the middle road, and led a cavalry to Dangjun, less than ten miles away from the city. Zhang Liangxi said: "Sima Yi is here in a divided army, this is too easy to deal with, I already have a strategy to break the enemy!" But I'm worried about one thing, and if I don't get it right, my plan will fail. Pei Gong hurriedly asked what he was worried about. Zhang Liang said: "When Sima Yi came, I didn't want to start a war immediately, but I was afraid that the generals would not obey my dispatch!" Pei Gong took off the sword on his body and said, "This sword is called 'Chixiao', and I used it to cut snakes and revolt. Give it to the gentleman now, and whoever disobeys the order will take this sword to correct the law! Zhang Liang was very happy, took the sword, and held it in his arms. At this moment, the people exclaimed: "The Qin army is here!" "Zhang Liang ordered the generals to listen to the order at the East City Gate. When everyone came to the city tower, they saw dust rising a few miles away, and after a while, the cavalry of the Qin army arrived at the bottom of the city.

When the Qin army came to the city, Sima Yi stopped the men and horses, and scolded arrogantly: "Liu Bang villager, quickly hand over the assassin Zhang Liang, otherwise if you enter the city, you will be stripped of your skin!" Fan was furious, so he asked Pei Gong to fight. The generals were all gearing up and eager to try. Pei Gongdao: "Everything is subject to Mr. Zifang's arrangement!" The soldiers asked Zhang Liang to fight, but Zhang Liang did not allow it. For a while, the shouts and scolding of the Qin army under the city were continuous, unbearable, and until it was dark, the Chu army did not fight. Sima Yi was very annoyed and thought that the Chu army was timid. The next day, the Qin army continued to fight, scolding even more fiercely than the day before. Pei Gong also couldn't bear it a little, but he thought: He had already ordered Mr. Zifang to transfer the army, how could he go back on his word, so he held back his anger. On the third day, the generals were all going to fight, especially Fan Xu, who was so angry that he said: "Mr. was not even afraid of the first emperor before, but now why is he afraid of Sima Yi?" Zhang Liang said: "The military order is like a mountain, since Pei Gong wants me to carry out the military order, you must not do it yourself, otherwise you will fall short!" Fan Hao said: "Since Mr. is afraid of Qin Jun, but I am not afraid, how about I go out and chop Sima Yi first?" "The generals are also indignant and want to kill them. Zhang Liang said: "There is Pei Gong's sword here!" The crowd had no choice but to walk away.

On the fourth day, Zhang Liangwang saw the chaos in the enemy camp, but he didn't see the Qin generals coming to scold the battle, so he said to Pei Gong: "Sima Yi must prepare siege equipment, and now send a deputy general to fight." Pei Gong asked strangely why he sent his lieutenant to fight. Zhang Liang replied: "Let's explore the truth first." Pei Gong sent Zhou Ke to lead a group of soldiers and horses to kill. When Sima Yi heard that the Chu army was coming, he led his troops to meet the battle. When he saw Zhou Cao, he shouted loudly: "Nameless rat, go back and change to someone who has the ability!" Zhou Ke was furious, and stabbed Sima Yi straight on his horse. Sima Yi raised his knife to meet him, and the two fought for more than a dozen rounds, but Zhou Ke couldn't beat Sima Yi, so he turned his horse's head and ran into the city. Sima Yi chased closely from behind. Zhang Liang saw Zhou Ke enter the city and immediately ordered the city gate to be closed. Sima Yi saw it, looked at the city and laughed wildly, withdrew the soldiers and horses from the camp, and ordered the siege equipment to be built overnight. That night, for some unknown reason, the drums in the city rang all night. Sima Yi thought that the Chu army was coming to steal the camp, so he didn't sleep all night.

At dawn the next day, all the siege equipment of the Qin army had been built. Sima Yi led a large army to the city. At this time, he found that the soldiers in the city were motionless, and when they looked closely, they were all straw men wearing military uniforms. Sima Yi thought it was very strange and ordered the sergeant to attack the city directly. Only then did he find that the drums beating at the head of the city were all live sheep, and Pei Gong's army had already disappeared without a trace. I also found two sentences written on the city wall: The rebels were afraid of hurting the people, so they walked out of the north gate. If the 'dead horse' general has the courage to chase after him, if he doesn't have the guts, this city is a gift to the 'dead horse' general, which is called the 'sheep drum plan' to kill the 'dead horse general'. When Sima Yi saw this, he was so angry that he immediately led the brigade out of the city to catch up. Chen Bi dissuaded: "I'm afraid that Liu Bang is engaged in some conspiracy." Sima Yi said angrily: "They fled for fear that the people would laugh, so they deliberately wrote such words." If you don't chase it, you hit the right track. So he led the sergeant and immediately went out of the north gate to chase after him. After Sima Yi left the city, he came to a place, and saw a low flat ground in front of him, which was piled with a lot of clothes and baggage, and he was a little puzzled, so he asked the guide what kind of place this was. The guide replied, "This place is called 'Fox Father'." Chen Bi said to Sima Yi: "There are dense woods all around, there is a murderous aura faintly, and Liu Bang's shadow is gone, what if you fall into an ambush?" Sima Yi smiled: "Liu Bang is a villager, how can he use ambush soldiers?" These things must have been left behind when they fled. "Let the sergeant snatch the items.

Qin Jun then rushed to grab things, grabbed them all, and saw that there were more good things in front of him, so he continued to grab them. Suddenly, a drum sounded, and the ambushes in the surrounding grass came out together, and it was Pei Gong's soldiers and horses, all of whom shot arrows at the Qin army, and the Qin army had countless arrows. After the arrow was fired, he launched a charge, Pei Gong and Xiahou Ying killed from the front, Cao Shen from the left flank, Zhou Bo from the right flank, Zhou Ke and Cao Wushu killed from the back, and the four soldiers and horses killed the Qin army together. Sima Yi said: "Liu Bang's villager also dares to use tricks!" "Hurriedly sent an order to fight. At this time, after the Qin army was shot by a flurry of arrows, the formation was already in chaos. Sima Yi panicked at this time, and commanded the Qin army to resist the Chu army on all sides. Cao Shen came to the middle of the formation first and killed Sima Yi directly. Sima Yi fought with Cao Shen, the two killed a few rounds, Sima Yi saw that he was not an opponent, so he abandoned Cao Shen and broke through to the periphery, but Cao Shen chased after him. Sima Yi's deputy general Chen Lan saw Cao Shen chasing after the main general, so he raised his weapon to intercept him, and Cao Shen waved the sword to open the sky and hacked him to death with one sword. Zhou Bo also killed the Qin general Guo Xi who intercepted him; Xiahou Ying pierced Liu Tang's throat with a spear; Zhou Ke and Cao Wuxian killed Wu Xian together. The cavalry of the Qin army was surrounded in the middle, and Sima Yi fought hard to get out of the encirclement. He ran for a while, but was stopped by Pei Gong. Sima Yi was with Xiahou Yingzhan. After a while, Cao Shen and the others caught up again. Seeing that the Chu generals were gathering more and more, Sima Yi fought hard to open a bloody path and fled to the northwest. The rest of the men and horses were surrounded by the Chu army, and the deputy generals Chen Bi and Zhou Zao fell into a heavy encirclement, rushing left and right, unable to break through the encirclement, and finally were captured by the Chu army.

Seeing the defeat of the Qin army, Pei Gong said to Zhang Liang: "Sima Yi has suffered a defeat now, but his large army is still in Liuxian, how can he annihilate them?" Zhang Liang said: "Don't worry about Pei Gong, Sima Yi will die soon, and his men and horses will also disappear!" Pei Gong hurriedly asked Zhang Liang what he had to say. Zhang Liang said with a smile: "I have already sent someone to report to Ding Li and Wei Xuan in the guise of a soldier of the Qin State, and I will say that Sima Yi has died in the battle of the fox father." When Ding and Wei heard the news, they did not dare to come rashly, but retreated to Xiao County. I sent a fast horse to inform Qin Jia and asked him to lead his troops to attack Xiao County. Xiao County is the closest to Pengcheng, and Qin Jia will definitely arrive in advance. He also sent someone to inform Xiao He and asked him to send Ji Xin to lead a group of soldiers and horses to feint an attack on Xiao County from the north. Pei Gong personally led the army to the battle. In this way, the three army horses flanked the Qin army together. Although the Qin army is numerous, how can it be undefeated? Pei Gong was very happy to hear Mr. Zifang's strategy for using troops, so he asked Cao Shen and Zhang Liang to hold Dangxian, and he led Fan Hao and Zhou Bo to kill Xiao County. Qin Jia was in Pengcheng, and when he heard that Sima Yi led a large army to attack Liucheng, he did his best to defend Liucheng, and received a notice from Zhang Liang on the way, so he attacked Xiao County. When the Qin generals heard that the Chu army had attacked on three fronts, they were all afraid, and Ding Li, Wei Xuan and others were worried that something would go wrong, so they led the Qin army to retreat westward. When they came to Xiao County, the three-way army horses of the Chu State attacked together. In order to avenge the revenge of Xiang County, Qin Jia led the Chu army to frantically pursue and kill the Qin army. The Qin army lost its commander and didn't know what to do, so they were defeated and fled for their lives. The three-way Chu army pursued and killed the Qin army until it stopped at the Shanzhi Post in Qicheng, and the Chu army won a complete victory and captured a lot of booty.

Then Pei Gong met with Qin Jia, Pei Gong was ready to join forces with him, and continued to pursue and kill the Qin army, preparing to subdue Surabaya County in one fell swoop, but Qin Jia hurriedly returned to Liucheng with Pei Gong on the grounds that he was worried about staying in the city. Seeing that he was weak, Pei Gong sighed and lost the opportunity to annihilate the Qin army, so he asked Ji Xinyuan to return to Pei County, only let Fan Hao hold Xiao County, and he led the brigade to return to Dangxian County to join Zhang Liang. The army came to the city of Dangxian, and Zhang Liang and Cao Shen had already come out to greet them. Everyone happily recounted the battle. Pei Gong took Zhang Liang's hand and said: "Mr. is really strategizing and winning a thousand miles, even Sun Wuzi is just like that!" Zhang Liang said: "If it weren't for the soldiers to kill the enemy bravely, I just had a great strategy and it was useless!" ”

Everyone came to the mansion and sat down, and Pei Gong told Zhang Liang about Qin Jia's hurried return, and we lost an opportunity to annihilate the Qin army. Zhang Liang said with a smile: "Qin Jia has a ghost in his heart, he must be thinking of something else, maybe he will do something, but this person can't become a climate!" Liu Bang ordered the sergeant to escort Chen Bi and Zhou Zao, and then persuaded them to surrender. The two raised their necks, and they also wanted to be loyal ministers of the Qin State. Pei Gong scolded: "I, Liu Bang, advocate righteousness and punish the tyrannical Qin, I am to follow the story of King Wu of Zhou and save the people of the world." But you bastards, you don't distinguish between right and wrong for a day, black and white are reversed, and I don't look down on you in the first place. But what's the point of killing you guys and not having a ball! If you want to die, let's gossip less, if you want to do big things with me, just follow Lao Tzu? Chen and Tuesday saw that Pei Gong was talking so cheerfully, so they simply surrendered to Pei Gong. Pei Gong was overjoyed, so he added all the Qin army to reorganize, about 6,000 people, and his strength increased greatly.
