On May 16, the imperial court conquered Wang Qing's army one after another, and Duan Pengju, the main vanguard, and Chen Zhu, the deputy vanguard, each led 10,000 horses and took the lead in arriving.

Thirty miles north of Wancheng, there is a Huangshi Mountain, it is the easternmost peak of the Funiu Mountains, two or three hundred zhang high, in the past, Huangshi Gong had passed Zhang Liang's military book in this place, so it was named, also known as Fangcheng Mountain, North Wudang.

Duan and Chen, the two pioneers, saw that this mountain was majestic, and said happily: "After here, from Wancheng to Xiangfan, the plains in the area are vast, and there is no danger to defend. It is better for the two of us to lean on this mountain and form a village, so as to wait for the army of the cardinal, just cut down some more big trees, in preparation for the manufacture of siege equipment, and the cardinal minister came to see that the two of me are well prepared, is there no praise? ”

The two agreed on this plan, boasted and praised themselves, and immediately joined forces to form a large village at the foot of the mountain, and ordered the soldiers to go up the mountain to cut wood, and piled them all in the village.

The two of them were overjoyed, and they learned that the mountain was high, hiding two thief generals, Ban Ze and Zhang Shou, and hundreds of elite thief archers, all of whom were hidden in the Taoist temple on the mountain. ”

At that moment, he sent someone down the mountain quietly and went to Wancheng to report quickly.

It turned out that not long after Liu Min conquered Wancheng, he heard that the imperial court raised 100,000 troops, and Tong Guan was in command, and came to conquer and suppress, and he was immediately overjoyed, and immediately looked at all the surrounding terrain, and thought hard: The front army of the Song army may not dare to reach the city, most of them are in Fangcheng Mountain to set up a village, in order to wait for the army, and now it is the time when the grass and trees are luxuriant, why don't I make a fire plan, first burn his front army, in order to destroy the enemy's courage.

Therefore, in advance, the second general Zhang, and five hundred archers were on the mountain, and at this moment I heard the spies on the mountain to report, the vanguard of the Song army was 20,000, and set up a camp at the foot of the mountain, and suddenly rejoiced: "This is really a road in heaven that you don't go, and there is no way to vote in the underworld. ”

At that moment, he rewarded the spy with a big silver ingot, and asked him to go back quickly, so that Ban Ze and Zhang Shou did as planned, and stayed up until sunset, leaving Gu Cen and Han Su to guard the city, and personally led Lu Cheng, Zheng Jie, Kou Meng, three deputy generals and 20,000 soldiers out of the city.

By the third watch, the sergeants in the Song camp were all asleep, and a small number of night patrol soldiers were also in low spirits.

Outside the camp, in the darkness where torches and lanterns could not shine, the eyes of the thieves gradually gave birth to a fierce light.

The two generals of Ban Ze and Zhang Shou sneaked down the mountain with 500 subordinates, each person carrying a basket, and the bottles and cans inside were all filled with pre-prepared fire oil, all of which were tightly gagged, and a two-foot-long hemp rope was tied outside.

I saw these thieves lined up in a column, taking advantage of the mountain to condescendingly, pulling the hemp rope and flying around a few times, throwing it out, and one by one the bottles and cans flew far into the Song camp, which happened to be the place where the trees were cut down in the back camp, and some were thrown far away, until they hit the top of the camp tent and fell to the ground, the bottles and cans were shattered, and the fire oil was dripping all over the ground.

The Song army on night patrol heard the sound of the rear camp, and hurriedly came to look, but saw that the stars on the mountain behind were all small fires, and then where the bowstring sounded, rockets flew like meteors, igniting the fire oil, and suddenly burned all over the sky.

Duan Pengju and Chen Zhu, the two pioneers woke up, rushed out of the camp tent to see, patted their thighs and even complained bitterly, and hurriedly urged the army to extinguish the fire, but unexpectedly, the arrows on the mountain behind were like rain, and dozens of Song troops who rushed to extinguish the fire were shot, and the camp became more and more chaotic.

Then the southeast wind was blowing, and the fire was spreading so that the trees were piled up and rolled down, and everywhere they passed became a sea of fire.

Seeing that the fire was difficult to save, Duan and Chen immediately decided to abandon the camp, and were busy reorganizing the soldiers and horses, only to hear the roaring sound outside the camp, and the black pressure suppressed the unknown number of thieves and killed them.

Duan Pengju exclaimed: "How is it good to be attacked by the enemy on the belly and back?" Chen Zhu gritted his teeth and said, "It's already like this, what else can I do?" You and I will try our best to break a bloody road, and when the cardinal's army comes, it will not be too late to take revenge. ”

At that moment, the two shouted: "If you don't want to be a ghost in a foreign land, you will kill it with me." ”

Pity those Song soldiers, most of them have no armor or blades, and they rushed out in a panic and followed the main general.

Chen Zhu took the lead in opening the way, and shouted loudly: "Chen Zhu, the supervisor of Zhengzhou Soldiers and Horses, is here!" Death to those who stand in the way! With a big knife in his hand, he swung it vigorously and killed more than ten thieves in a row.

Kou Meng, the deputy general of the thief soldiers, saw that Song General was brave, shouted, and waved a nail rake to fight, the two of you came and I fought three or four together, Duan Pengju rushed up to help, Kou Meng couldn't stand his two generals together, and called for help: "Who will help me?" Before the words fell, Duan Pengju made the bull's head boring and stirred the other party's nail rake, and Chen Zhu struggled to split Kou Meng's head.

When Liu Min saw that he had broken Kou Meng, he couldn't help but be furious, and shouted: "The general of the defeated army is still ferocious!" Calling Lu Cheng and Zheng Jie, the three of them came together to block, Chen Zhu beat his chest and shouted: "When you are in a desperate situation, it is the time to repay the king with a death battle!" ”

Duan Pengju was dyed by his pride, only to feel that a spirit in his chest was close to the heavenly spirit, and he laughed loudly and shouted: "Good man! Today, my brother lives and dies together! ”

After saying that, he grabbed the horse's belly, and the war horse suddenly jumped forward, Duan Peng stood up with his feet on the stirrups, and shouted angrily: "Traitor, teach you to recognize General Duan today!" ”

The bull's head in his hand was stabbed like lightning, he came quickly and stabbed quickly, Lu Cheng resisted a little slowly, and he opened two blood holes with a boring, somersault and knocked off the horse.

Duan Peng raised his hand to kill the enemy, his arrogance was greatly inspired, and he took Liu Min and Zheng Jie all of them with a round of blades, and they beat seventeen or eighteen together, feeling a little difficult to support, and suddenly thought: Huh? Why hasn't Chen Zhu arrived yet?

Turning his head to look, he suddenly smoked - it turned out that Chen Zhu took advantage of the enemy generals being blocked by him, and rushed to the west where there were few people, and he was about to break out of the encirclement.

Duan Pengju held this evil breath in his chest, only to feel that his hands and feet were trembling and weak, and gritted his teeth and thought: It turns out that this guy is such a villain, and Lao Tzu's life was killed by him in vain.

Liu Min rolled his eyes, waved the weapon in his hand, swung Zheng Jie's spear back, and sneered: "Idiot, your companions have abandoned you, why don't you surrender to the King of Chu, not only to save your life, but also to be ashamed." ”

Duan Peng was bound to die, and suddenly heard the other party's surrender, and hurriedly abandoned his weapon, shouting, "I am willing to surrender." ”

Liu Min said with a smile: "You call on your subordinates to surrender, and you can see sincerity." ”

Duan Pengju nodded again and again, turned around and shouted: "Brother Suizhou, my old Duan has now surrendered to the king of Chu, and those who are unwilling to die in vain will surrender with me." ”

When he shouted, not only did all his Suizhou soldiers and horses surrender, but Chen Zhu's Zhengzhou soldiers and horses also surrendered.

When Chen Zhu heard it from afar, his heart and gall were broken, and he turned around and scolded: "The surname Duan, you are a bad seed, wait for the whole door to be beheaded." ”

Duan Pengju scolded back: "You dog thief who sells robes, wait for me to destroy the Great Song Dynasty with the King of Chu, and kill your whole family with my own hands." ”

After that, he jumped off the horse and picked up the blade, and asked Zhan to say: "General, give me a horse, if you don't kill this thief, my heart will be uneasy." ”

Liu Min touched his beard, shook his head and said, "That guy is also a fool, even if he goes west, he won't be able to return to the army for a while, so what should he do?" Ben will ask you, Tong Guan's army, where is it now? ”

Duan Peng said: "According to the distance, you should stay in Ye County." ”

A cold light flashed in Liu Min's eyes: "Ye County is only forty or fifty miles away from here...... General Duan, the general Liu Min, known as Liu Zhibo, is the hussar general under the command of the King of Chu, Zhiyong Hou! Now there is a great achievement, if you are willing to achieve it, he will be crowned a marquis in the future, it is not a problem. ”

Duan Pengju's face was cloudy when he heard this, he thought for a while, and suddenly gritted his teeth: "Liu Hussar, but the last general is going to deceive Ye County?" ”

Liu Min glanced at him in surprise, shook his head and smiled: "I'm afraid it's too late, I mean so, so, like this, are you willing to do it?" ”

Duan Pengju listened, nodded heavily and said: "Since you have become a courtier of the King of Chu, you have no choice but to live with the old robes!" ”

Liu Min laughed, stretched out his hand and patted Duan Pengju and said, "General Duan, those who know the times are Junjie, this merit has been established, how can the King of Chu treat you lightly?" ”

Remember the results of the battle, in this battle, more than 1,000 Song soldiers were killed and wounded, more than 2,000 people were killed with Chen Zhu, and the rest of 16,000 people surrendered.

Liu Min ordered Duan Pengju to pick out four or five hundred henchmen and soldiers, and the rest taught Chen Jie to lead 2,000 people back to Wancheng, and the headquarters of 20,000 soldiers and horses, had a full meal, and drove to Ye County.

Thirty miles out, the sky is clear, there is a low mountain next to the road, called Matou Mountain, five miles of slope under the mountain, it is the only way for Ye County to Wancheng, Liu Min hid the army behind Matou Mountain, and ordered Ban Ze to lead 3,000 elite people in the thief army, all changed the color of the Song army, mixed in the queue of Duan Pengju.

During this period, two groups of messengers passed from the direction of Yexian, which were used by the former army and the Chinese army for daily contact, and they were all taken down and killed by Duan Pengju.

Until the third pole of the day, Tong Guan's army slowly opened from Ye County, because the messenger did not return, Tong Guan was a little hesitant in his heart, but relying on the many soldiers and generals, he still marched according to the original plan, but sent many horses.

Not long after, there was a report from Tan Malai: "At Wulipo, I met the vanguard army that was defeated, and Duan Peng, the deputy vanguard, reported that Chen Zhu, the pioneer, colluded with Wang Qing and took advantage of the night to riot in the camp, and there was a hussar general Liu Zhibo under Wang Qing outside, Duan Pengju led the headquarters to fight to the death in Suizhou, and only more than 3,000 people were able to escape. ”

Tong Guan was shocked when he heard the report, and hurriedly ordered to speed up the march and go to meet him. The herald was about to give the order, and suddenly not far away, Cao Cao, who was following Liu Yanqing, shouted: "The cardinal minister can't!" Duan Dujian's words are untrue, and the young general expects that he will inevitably be deceitful, and if he leaves in a hurry, he will be taken advantage of. ”

Tong Guan frowned when he heard this, his expression was not good, and several cronies and staff officers around him were suddenly furious, and pointed at Cao Cao and said: "Shuai order, the three armies are followed, what kind of person are you, dare to question the marshal?" When you behead you, you should be punished by military law. ”

When Lu Junyi and the others heard this, the weapons in their hands were tight, Cao Cao's face remained unchanged, and he said loudly: "I deeply feel the kindness of the cardinal, so I don't avoid good fortune and good fortune, and give good advice." Prime minister, my life and death are small, and the success or failure of the army is here in one fell swoop. ”

Tong Guan listened, his face became more and more gloomy, and the cronies next to him were about to call someone to take Cao Cao, Tong Guan stretched out his hand to stop, and called Cao Cao forward: "Tell me, how can there be fraud." ”

Cao Cao stepped forward unhurriedly and said: "Prime minister, Tan Ma returns, the Tao is that Chen Zhu colluded with Wang Qing to make trouble, in this case, why didn't Chen Zhu coax Duan Peng to the tent and kill him first, how much effort and feet did he save?" ”

Tong Guan nodded slowly, but a cronie next to him sneered: "This is a big fallacy! That Chen Zhu, who was the eunuch of the soldiers and horses of a state, actually colluded with Wang Qing, but he knew that he was stupid, since he was a fool, he was not secret, and he was ordinary. ”

Cao Cao didn't look at the guy, nodded and said: "Even if Chen Zhu is stupid, but the cardinal minister, please think about it, chaos comes from within, the enemy is surrounded from outside, and the internal and external attacks are unintentional, even if the overlord is alive, Lu Bu is reborn, and at most he can only be spared, but he can lead 3,000 soldiers to kill, isn't it weird?" ”

The cronie said angrily: "What kind of identity do you have, and you are also worthy of speculating on the general? ”

Cao Cao didn't hear it, and said: "The most important thing is that even if others are sleepy and lack horses, they can't catch up with Ye County for a while, and now that the horse has arrived, he is a general of the defeated army, and he doesn't follow him to ask for guilt, do you dare to wait for the prime minister to see him?" ”

The cronie opened his mouth, and his face turned red instantly.

Tong Guan nodded, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Since you have seen through it, is there a way to deal with it?" ”

Cao Cao said: "He only has 3,000 people, how dare he rush the army?" I expect that there will be ambushes nearby, and the cardinal will call the probe horse to ask, Duan Pengju is around, there can be hills or dense forests, if there is, it must be where the ambush is. ”

Tong Guan called to Tan Ma to ask, and sure enough, there was a Matou Mountain beside him, Cao Cao said: "Needless to say, the ambush soldiers must be behind the mountain, since this is the case, the cardinal may as well be so, so, so." ”

After saying that, Tong Guan looked up to the sky and laughed, looked at Cao Cao with a smile, nodded and said: "The thieves are just a rabble, and I have no joy when I break them, so those who are happy have to be like you!" What is your name? ”

Cao Cao smiled: "Under the surname Wu Mingzhi." ”

Tong Guan recited silently twice, nodded and said: "Wu Zhi, you should contribute well to a certain family, and protect your future." ”

He turned his head and summoned Liu Yanqing: "Manager Liu, since this general is under your command, this battle will be handed over to your subordinates." ”

Liu Yanqing was overjoyed and clenched his fists: "The last general will obey the order!" ”

At that moment, he led Cao Cao back, ordered 10,000 people from the headquarters, and moved in two ways, and Tong Guan led the army slowly afterwards.

Cao Cao followed Liu Yanqing, took Sun An and Geng Gong, and led 3,000 men and horses to walk in front, and when they came to Wulipo, they saw more than 3,000 of Duan Pengju's subordinates, sitting in a neat line.

Cao Cao glanced at it and laughed loudly: "Duan Dujian, the defeated army is still so neat, it seems that you have won." ”

Duan Pengju panicked in his heart, glared and shouted, "Who are you?" What do you know, if I don't manage the army well, how can I kill it internally and externally? ”

Cao Cao smiled: "Don't act, Chen Zhu has already confessed and understood, it is clear that you demoted Wang Qing." ”

Duan Pengju exclaimed: "Impossible! He clearly went west, how could he be so fast...... Oh! You lied to me. ”

Ban Ze beside him jumped up and scolded: "Surnamed Duan, you idiot, how can you become a big official?" Brothers, kill the officers and soldiers with me! ”

Three thousand thieves jumped up at the same time, shouting and killing.

Sun An said angrily: "After seeing through the tricks of you, you still dare to touch the tiger's whiskers? "The horse was the first to kill, and he was meeting Ban Ze, Ban Ze poked with a gun, Sun An's left sword swung away, and the right sword only slashed, and Ban Ze took his head and shoulders, and half of his body fell to the ground, rushing into the enemy army non-stop, and the double swords stirred up a bloody storm.

Duan Peng raised his face as white as paper, and said hatefully: "Since you don't leave me alive, I will drag you to die together!" He hated Cao Cao for exposing his plan, holding the bull's head to kill Cao Cao, Geng Gong shouted, and stepped forward to block the fight, Cao Cao waved the big lance, and took three thousand military horses to kill into the opponent's array, although the three thousand thieves were selected, but they came up and folded the generals, frustrating the spirit, Sun An is an invincible warrior, and he entered the battle alone, and the fierce posture made people see and chill, and then Cao Cao led the troops to destroy, and immediately fell apart.

When Liu Zhibo heard the news, his face changed dramatically and said: "I actually saw through my clever plan, there must be capable people in the Song army, but since he is prepared, how can the enemy and I be outnumbered?" The gecko had no choice but to cut off its tail and lead the 17,000 people to retreat first. ”

Before the words fell, I heard someone behind me shouting: "Huaixi thief, do you recognize Han Wu of the Western Army?" ”

There is a division of teaching: Zhibo set fire to the vanguard, and pursued the victory to make meritorious contributions. The words are deceitful and defeated, and some calculations eventually come to naught.
