However, it was said that Tong Guan won Hangzhou that day, although he was victorious, the three armies were damaged, especially the generals broke a lot, and when he rested and recuperated, he made people rush in the starry night to urge Qin Feng and Hedong to come to Hangzhou to join his main force.

The next day, when he learned that Xin Xingzong had led his troops to kill and had not returned, he was worried again, and sent many scouts to look around, but he was not heard from for several days, and he was secretly angry.

After three or four days, Ma Gongzhi led Qin Fengjun and Ji Jing led the Hedong soldiers to arrive successively, reporting that Jiangyin, Changshu and other places were peaceful, and the anti-thief guards were all killed, and Tong Guan was overjoyed.

Another day, Tong Guanai will Zhao Tan lead 10,000 troops, grain and grass to Hangzhou, Tong Guan meeting, talking about the previous battle situation, Zhao Tan heard that the army in the fierce generals have been frustrated, immediately shouted: "Grace does not need to be a pioneer, so that those incompetent people have broken their spirits, if they use young generals early, Fang Qifo, Shibao thieves, the head for a long time." ”

Yao Pingzhong, Yang Keshi, Liu Guangshi and others were furious, wanting to wave their old fists at each other, Zhao Tan sneered proudly, Wang Yu had always had some friendship with him, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade peace.

Zhao Tan took the opportunity to invite him to be a pioneer, Tong Guan held the thirteen beards that were like treasures, thought about it, and nodded: "Zhao Tan, I know that your martial arts are extraordinary, but there are also good fighters among the thieves, if you fight, remember not to be careless." ”

With Zhao Tan, the leader of the army, led 10,000 troops and served as a vanguard, Wang Yu knew that there was no shortage of brave generals in Mingjiao, and he was afraid that he would underestimate the enemy, so he asked for his life to be the deputy vanguard.

Tong Guan left 5,000 people to guard Hangzhou, raised 130,000 soldiers, and took Zhao Tan and Wang Yu as the vanguard to kill Muzhou.

After walking for two days along the way, he met Xin Xingzong leading the remnants of the defeated army to run, Zhao Tan stepped forward and continued, seeing that he was embarrassed, he immediately ridiculed, but Xin Xingzong was not easy to bully, and sneered: "You know a fart, Xin led 3,000 troops, deep into the enemy's belly, it happened that the anti-thief pseudo-prince Fang Tianding led 100,000 soldiers and horses to rob Hangzhou, Xin fought with him for three days, defeated dozens of times the stubborn enemy, and captured the enemy chief Tianding, hehe, if you really want to brag in front of Xin, and go to get Fang La!" ”

After saying that, he led his troops to go high-spirited, and went to report his merits with Tong Guan, Zhao Tan was so angry that he scolded, and then ordered everyone to speed up the march: "Follow me to catch Fang La, and then see how this guy sells his mouth." ”

The next day, when he was marching, he suddenly saw a military horse drilled out of the mountain road next to him, about 3,000 people, all wearing the color of the southern army.

This group of southern troops was the defenders of Dusong Pass, and they were ordered to withdraw to Muzhou, but they were caught off guard by Zhao Tan, and they rushed into chaos in an instant.

The three southern generals fought hard, but they were unable to turn the tide, Wu Sheng was killed by Wang Yu with a knife, Jiang Yin ate Zhao Tan and killed, and the remaining Wei Heng saw that it was not his head, so he hit the road and left.

Zhao Tan was greedy for merit, how could he give up, he killed tightly, the two sides chased and fled, and soon arrived at the place where Lao Cao and the others were, but neither Zhao Tan nor Wei Heng noticed their every move, and they were all in the eyes of others.

There were 3,500 people under Wei Heng's command, and at this time, the dead were scattered, and there were only a little more than a thousand left.

While he was galloping, a horse suddenly burst out of the oblique thorn, Wei Heng was startled, and hurriedly lifted the spear, and immediately the knight shouted: "Brother Wei, don't you recognize Tang?" Where are Wu and Jiang? ”

Only then did Wei Heng recognize that it was the "Fatal Xiucai" among the twenty-four flying generals, and said happily: "General Tang, why are you here?" Both of them were poisoned by officers and soldiers, and the younger brother escaped by chance. ”

Tang Fengshi didn't answer, but said hurriedly: "You want to flee to Wulongling?" The pass there has been demolished by Fang Zuo's envoy, and if you expect to go there and hold on, you will die yourself. ”

Wei Heng was shocked as if he was struck by lightning, and said, "Why did Fang Zuo Envoy dismantle the pass? Then he was full of bitterness: "In this way, I can't escape this time, it's all because Fang Qi Buddha misunderstood me!" ”

Tang Fengshi pursed his mouth, and then squeezed out a sincere look: "Brother Wei, if you want to live, you just need to listen to me!" And call your brothers, just turn around and fight. ”

Wei Heng said with a bitter face: "When I win the kill, how can I escape here?" ”

Tang Fengshi shouted: "If I am not sure, will I run out and die?" They don't need to fight, they just need to stand their ground. ”

Wei Heng said in disbelief: "General Tang, don't harm me, now they are all frightened birds, and the officers and soldiers will collapse at the touch of a touch." ”

They ran away while talking, Tang Fengshi saw that he was running farther and farther, his heart was anxious, and he suddenly grabbed Wei Heng's bridle, forcibly stopped the war horse, and shouted: "I have no grievance with you, isn't it hurting myself to hurt you?" Listen to me once, and I'll give you a credit. ”

Wei Heng was also a little gally, gritted his teeth, and shouted: "Stop, stop, the reinforcements have arrived, there is no need to run away!" ”

It turned out that this Wei Heng and the dead Wu Sheng and Jiang Yin were originally robbers in Tianmu Mountain, and the southeast area called him "Tianmu Three Owls", and later voted for Fang La, and was sent to guard Dusong Pass, and the soldiers under his command were mostly with him for many years.

Therefore, as soon as Wei Heng called a halt, although these soldiers were frightened in their hearts, they were all obedient and stopped—this section alone was much stronger than many Song soldiers.

Tang Fengshi was also worried that these defeated soldiers would lose their courage and refused to listen to the order, but when he saw that they all stopped at this moment, he was immediately overjoyed: "Brother Wei is a good soldier!" It is really worthy of the name of the 'Three Owls of Tianmu'. ”

Wei Heng couldn't help but feel sad when he heard this, and said hatefully: "Brother for more than ten years, today Yin and Yang are separated, I only look at your General Tang's methods, if you can avenge my two elder brothers, why not give you this life." ”

Tang Fengshi sighed: "How good the twenty-four flying generals were at the beginning, and now there are only eight left, where does Tang have the ability to avenge you?" It is still necessary to seek another superior. ”

Ignoring Wei Heng's surprise as he spoke, he walked out of his horse, laughed three times at the officers and soldiers who were rushing over, and shouted loudly: "Dog officers and soldiers, I have deceived and defeated the ambush soldiers!" Teach you today that you will not be separated from a horse. ”

The officers and soldiers were not stupid, seeing the enemy fleeing and suddenly stopped, they sensed that something was wrong, and they all slowed down, and when they heard Tang Fengshi's words, they were more and more taken aback, and subconsciously looked around - there are hills and woodlands on the left and right, and if there are ambushes, it seems that it is very possible.

Zhao Tan and Wang Yu rushed to the front of the battle, and Zhao Tan said angrily: "You want to fart this guy, his army is obviously a temporary passing, and he was intercepted and killed by me, don't you have front and rear eyes?" Do you know how to lie down to me here? You learn from Zhuge Liang to make a plan to empty the city, but this general is not Sima Yi! ”

Guo Chong of the Western Jin Dynasty once wrote "Five Things of Tiao Liang", which recorded five anecdotes of Zhuge Liang, and the third was an empty city plan to scare Sima Yi away, and Zhao Tanpo had read some books, so he said so.

Tang Fengshi is nicknamed "Killing Xiucai", although he has never really tested his fame, but he has also read several wild histories, and often boasts that he can speak well, otherwise why would Lao Cao send him to stop the defeated army? As soon as he heard Zhao Tan know some allusions, he was immediately overjoyed, and said with a smile: "You know Zhuge Kongming, you should know that he is proficient in Qimen arithmetic, but I'm also quite good at this, last night I watched the sky, saw the Taibai star, pinched my fingers, and knew that you were coming today, so I ambushed thousands of troops and horses, just waiting for you to die." ”

The more he talked, the more proud he became, and he only wished to wave a feather fan a few times, but fortunately, the big knife he used was also wide, so he turned it upside down, made the knife power into a fan, and slapped it a few times on his face—he only hated that the handle was too long, and it was really difficult to show elegance.

Seeing him pretending, Zhao Tan was furious in his heart, and shouted: "Jumping beam clown, dare to play these ghost tricks in front of my army, I caught you today and cut it into a hundred pieces!" Soldiers, kill me! ”

With a wave of his long knife, he led his troops to kill directly, Wei Heng's defeated soldiers all killed their souls, and it was rare to be able to stop, and An dared to fight against him at this moment? One by one, two wars, they are about to escape, Wei Heng is eyes are also dark, thinking that Lao Tzu risked his life to believe you, who knew that you would be so stupid! He shouted in a sad voice: "General Tang, get out of play, let's go!" ”

Tang Fengshi waved his big knife and shouted: "We are the heroes of the Ming Sect, how can there be people who retreat from the battle. ”

Wei Heng was stunned by him, thinking that this person was really a little bold, and he was about to turn around and flee, when he suddenly heard a thunderous roar: "The dog officers and soldiers are rampant, but you know that the heroes of Liangshan are here!" ”

Immediately, in the forest on the left, a big black man stripped naked, with a green-faced Zhong Kui mask, dancing two plate axes, a whirlwind of killing generals, and a person behind him who made a simple knife, led many soldiers to shout and kill, in the dense forest, it was impossible to see how many soldiers and horses there were for a while.

On the hillock on the right, someone also shouted: "Dog officers and soldiers, the heroes of the Ming Sect are also here, and the whole gang is here!" ”

Dozens of horses rushed down from the slope, and the leader of the general stood on the pedal, shooting with a bow, this Wei Heng knew that it was the "White Eagle" Bei Yingkui.

If these ambushes had been killed earlier, the officers and soldiers might still be able to resist, but Zhao Tan and Tang Fengshi had an argument, and everyone thought that there were no ambushes, but they killed many people and horses, and they couldn't help but be even more panicked: The thief said that he calculated that we were here, is it true?

Wang Yu was still calm, and when he looked at the two sides, there were only a few hundred ambush soldiers, and he immediately shouted: "Don't mess up, there are not many enemies, everyone will form a formation to kill the enemy!" ”

A word came out, suddenly saw a person in the enemy horse, wearing a five-color mask, dancing a single knife, quickly killing in front of him, Wang Yu immediately stepped forward to fight, a move, the big knife was cut off by him, Wang Yu was shocked, lost his voice and shouted: "Oh, it's you again!" ”

The real one is: the flag is waving outside the Oolong Ridge, and the remnant sun is bathed in blood. The sound of killing shook the ground, stirring up dust and flying around the forest.
