However, it was said that Cao Cao repeatedly defeated Lu Bu, pacified Yanzhou, and wanted to march into Xuzhou.

Mao Jue dissuaded: "Now the world is falling apart, the imperial court is moving west to the east, the people are abolishing all industries, refugees are starving and fleeing, the country has no reserves for years, and the people have no will to be stable, so it is difficult to last." Yuan Shao in the north today, Liu Biao in the south, although the people are strong, but they only care about the present, do not think about the long-term, can not build roots, how can they achieve great causes? The righteous soldier wins, and the defensive position is strong. Only to take revenge, the people suffered, not for the volunteers, and there was little chance of victory; Relying on the prosperity of the moment, the rear is empty, and the root is lost, and the strong will become weak. Now that the Son of Heaven is moving eastward, if the Son of Heaven orders him not to submit, cultivate and plant, raise livestock and military resources, and hegemonically succeed. ”

Someone objected: "The Han dynasty has exhausted its qi, the country is not the country, the emperor is not the emperor, and the princes are vying for the city and land, all of which are expanding their territory and seizing the opportunity." When Dong Zhuo held the Son of Heaven hostage, the Duke of Ming summoned the princes to crusade. However, each maintained its strength and had ill intentions, causing the Allies to scatter. Later, Wang Yun and Lu Bu murdered Dong Zhuo, and led Li Dao and Guo Yan into trouble. If you cling to decay, you can learn from the past, and you will surely perish with it. If you are near first and then far away, encroaching on the surroundings, it is the way to hegemony. ”

Cao Cao hesitated.

Xun Yu said: "Mao Xiaoxian's two strategies of 'consolidating the roots' and 'coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes' are really the way to hegemony. Since the Ming Dynasty recruited the Yellow Turban of Qingzhou, the fields were cultivated, and the military resources were supplied, so that Lu Bu was repeatedly defeated and Shandong, which was the foundation. Although Liu Bei has won Xuzhou, Nan Yuan Shu attacked, and Nei Lu Bu peeped, and he would be chaotic for a long time, and then win in chaos. Today, the son is returning to the east, just to implement the strategy of filial piety first's 'coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes'. The Duke of Wen of the former Jin Dynasty accepted King Xiang of Zhou and made the princes obey; Han Gaozu mourned for the righteous emperor and let the world return to his heart. Today, if the Ming Gong takes this opportunity to raise the first volunteer army, it is a far-reaching strategy to serve the Son of Heaven to collect the expectations of the public. If you don't take the lead, someone will inevitably climb before me, and the opportunity will be lost! ”

Cao Cao said: "There is no edict from the Son of Heaven yet, and I am afraid that the teacher will be nameless." ”

Xun Yu said: "If you talk about tactics, one is to stick to Shandong and strengthen the fundamentals; The first is to send troops to Chen County to expand military resources; The first is to send troops to the west to welcome the Son of Heaven and act at the opportune moment. ”

Cao Cao agreed to the suggestion of the two, taking the two strategies proposed by Mao Yu as a long-term strategy, taking Xun Yu's words to stick all the way and sending troops on both roads as a short-term tactic, and transfer Mao Yu from being engaged in governance to the shogunate Gongcao, and following Xun Yu to lead the people to stick to Yanzhou, and call Ren Jun to supervise Tuntian; Xiahoudun led his army westward to find out the situation and escort the Savior; He personally led the army and marched towards Chen.

Cao Cao's army came to Chen County, and Yuan Si, the prime minister of Chen set up by Yuan Shu, surrendered without a fight, and then turned to Runan and Yingchuan to conquer He Yi, Huang Shao and other remnants of the Yellow Turban.

Let's say that He Yi and Huang Shao got 30,000 pieces of Yuan Shuliang, 500 horses, and 300 colored satins, changed the banner of Yuan Jun, and led the army to Xuyi.

It was getting late in Xuyi, and according to Chen Ling's plan, he turned around overnight, and in order to prevent Yuan Shao's army from chasing and killing, he made a detour to Mangdang Mountain (now Yongcheng, Henan).

In the middle of the line, I suddenly saw an army rushing down from the mountain, and the horseback rider was wrapped in a yellow scarf on his head, dressed in a battle robe, and raised his sword and shouted: "I am Liu Pi, a subordinate of Zhang Mancheng, the leader of the Yellow Turban, leaving grain, grass and horses, even if they are released." ”

Huang Shao saw that the person who came reported to his home, rode forward, and was about to speak, when a person came out of Liu Pi's side, more than a foot tall, with a leopard's head and eyes, a face like black iron, fluffy hair and tiger whiskers, bare-chested and bare-backed, holding a teacup thick and slender like a high-speed rail stick, swaying like an iron tower to the front of the formation, he couldn't help but say, hugged his head and smashed Huang Shao's head.

Huang Shao hurriedly raised an iron rod to greet him, only to be shocked by the back of his hand.

Seeing this, He Yi speared the black man in the back of the heart.

The black man returned a stick, He Yi's gun was shocked away, and he hurriedly used the deer to turn his head and neck in the "Five Fowl Opera" created by Hua Tuo before he dodged the iron rod.

Huang Shao urged the war horse, performed the play of the tiger pounced on the forelimbs, and hit the black man's back.

The black man sat on the ground, swept with a stick, and hit Huang Shao's hind legs.

Huang Shao was thrown off the horse, and even Shi Xiongfu stood up, jumped with ape feet, and smashed the iron rod to the black man sitting on the ground.

The black man rolled on the spot, slammed his stick on the ground, and suddenly stood up.

He Yi came on horseback, Huang Shao spread his wings, jumped up and sat behind He Yi, and the two of them galloped back to the formation on a horse.

Chen Ling hurriedly swung his army forward, desperately rushing to kill.

The black man has no fear, rushing left and right, and no one dares to do it.

Liu Bi was afraid that the black man would be outnumbered, so he urgently ordered the gong to withdraw his troops and retreat to the mountains.

He Yi and Huang Shao returned to the camp, and Chen Ling said: "Self-reported to the old department of Zhang Mancheng, and can no longer kill each other." ”

He Yi said: "I didn't expect to learn from us and fight twice." ”

Huang Shao said: "Seeing that it is a fellow Taoist, I want to come forward and explain, who wants to kill this black man, I can't help but say." ”

Chen Ling said: "Our army changed its flag and wore Yuan Jun's clothes, but it could not be recognized, so it was misunderstood. ”

He Yi said: "Change back to the flag tomorrow, instead of making peace, that is." ”

Chen Ling said, "No. Our army wants to return to Runan and Yingchuan to take revenge, passing through Chen County, if it is changed back to the banner, Yuan Shu's state minister Yuan Si will inevitably intercept and kill. I expect that Liu Bi will steal the camp and rob the grain tonight, and I will plan it, capture him, and then persuade him to join forces. ”

Huang Shao said: "How can the black man be infinitely powerful, and no one can subdue him." ”

Chen Ling called for more rope nets, just like this, and repeatedly advised: "You can only capture them alive, and you can't damage the lives of the sergeants." ”

As expected, it was the third watch of the night, Liu Pi led more than 1,000 people to steal the camp to steal grain and grass, and stayed in the camp, but there was no one to see, knowing the plan, and eager to retreat.

Suddenly, a drum sounded, torches were lit, and shouts were shouted, Liu Pi tripped over a rope and was captured alive.

The black man waved an iron rod and was caught by the rope net, and then there were more than 40 people, two people with a rope more than ten zhang long, each holding one end, winding back and forth, and there were more than 20 ropes to tie the black man tightly, not moving, and tying to a tree of one thickness and a thickness.

The rest of the soldiers were divided and surrounded, unable to rush out, and sat still.

He Yi and Huang Shao escorted Liu Pi into the tent, and Chen Ling personally lifted the rope to explain the truth.

Chen Ling asked Liu Pi to explain the situation to the soldiers who came with him, and they all laid down their weapons.

The three of them took Liu Pi to untie the rope for the black man, held a banquet to suppress the shock, and cooked food to comfort the sergeant.

During the banquet, Liu Pi talked about his experience in the past ten years and in the Mangdang Mountain.

It turned out that Zhang Mancheng, the commander of the Yellow Turban Army, was killed in battle, and Liu Pi desperately escaped with more than a dozen people, and gathered more than 300 scattered brave people to go north to find the main force of the Yellow Turban.

Halfway through, I learned that Zhang Jiao died of illness, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang died in battle, and the uprising failed.

Most of the hundreds of people who followed Liu Pi were homeless and hungry, so they ran around, making a living by robbing wealthy families, and had no fixed place to live.

Last year, when I came here, I saw a black man being chased by more than 100 people and rescued him.

The black man himself doesn't know what his surname is, and everyone in this area calls him a big black man.

The black man has infinite strength, and he has the amount of food for ten people, and he eats when he is hungry, and when he is not full.

He was rushing to eat and drink in the nearby street market, and no one could stop him, and when he saw that he was coming, he closed his doors one after another.

A carriage of grain passed under the mountain, was bumped into by him, came forward to ask for it, the owner of the car did not give it, he forcibly moved, the owner of the car ordered the handlebar type to pump the horse and gallop.

He grabbed the rear of the car with both hands, and the horse's hooves soared into the air, and the two horses in front of him broke the reins and kept moving forward.

The owner of the car saw that it was not good, and he didn't care about the food, so he pulled the handlebar style to chase the front horse.

The big black man grabbed the horse and pulled the grain to the cave.

The owner of the car went back and summoned more than 100 people to come and ask for it, but the big black man refused to give it, and there was a dispute.

Liu Pi led the crowd to pass by here, drove the owner of the car and others away, followed the big black man to the mountain, took care of his full meal, and found an iron rod that was one zhang long and weighed 100 catties as a weapon.

Although the big black stick has no rules, it is invincible, so he lives in the mountains with Liu Pi.

Liu Pi later inquired, only to know that this mountain is called Mangdang Mountain, the originator of the peasant uprising Chen Sheng is buried here, intending to use the protection of King Chen, and then raise the banner of righteousness, but do not want to meet three leaders here, saying that he is willing to join forces, inherit the mantle of the yellow scarf, and seek peace in the world.

Chen Ling asked the big black man if he was willing to follow, and the big black man said, "As long as you have food, you can go anywhere." ”

Xi San, Liu Piliu and the sergeant lived in the camp and went back to the cottage to clean up.

The next day, he took the rest of the people and his baggage down the mountain, followed Chen Ling and others to Chenjun, passed through Yucheng (now Yongcheng Yuyang, Henan), and met the old department of Bocai, He Man, led thousands of men and horses to accompany him, to Zhexian County, Liang County (now Zhecheng, Shangqiu, Henan), and found out that Cao Cao raised troops to attack Chenjun, so he turned to Yingchuan and scattered activities in Yingchuan and Runan.

When Chen Ling heard that Chen Guoxiang Yuan Si had surrendered, Cao Cao led the army to conquer and suppress, and in order to prevent being broken by each other, he hurriedly gathered all his troops and concentrated his forces to meet the enemy.

Cao Cao ordered a strong bow and a crossbow to stop the formation, and waved a whip to persuade him to surrender: "The Han Dynasty Heavenly Soldiers are recruiting and suppressing, and they will not change their evil ways and serve the court as soon as possible." ”

Huang Shao rode out of battle: "The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand." Naturally, the people are right, and aiding and abetting is evil. The court hides treachery and criticism, brutalizes the people, disrupts the people's livelihood, and the corrupt Han family is not destroyed, and heaven does not tolerate it. ”

Cao Cao ordered Li Dian to fight.

He Man was wrapped in a yellow scarf, dressed in a green robe, holding a steel fork, and walked out to greet him. The two fought, and more than 50 were evenly matched.

Dian Wei couldn't bear it, and the halberd took He Man directly, taking advantage of his defense, a halberd hit He Man's heart, and he died immediately.

Cao Cao whipped and took advantage of the victory to attack.

Huang Shao shouted loudly and rushed forward.

He Yi urged the soldiers and horses to resist hard.

The big black man wielded an iron rod, swept left and right, the enemy army could not advance, Cao Cao saw that the enemy army was strong, and urgently ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

Chen Ling returned to the camp, and He Man was particularly saddened by his death.

He Yi said: "If it weren't for the black big man's strength, our army would definitely be defeated." ”

Chen Ling asked the sergeant to bring out the food and let the big black man have a full meal.

Early the next morning, Cao Cao ordered Yu Ban to challenge.

Liu Bi wanted to take the big black man out to greet him, He Yi wanted to call the big black man to fight after a full meal, and the big black man said: "Come back and eat after the victory." ”

The two went out of battle, and Yu Ban rode forward, and Liu Bi caught the fight.

More than 30 times together did not distinguish between victory and defeat, Yu Ban was defeated, Liu Bi chased after him, Yu Ban suddenly returned to the horse and stabbed Liu Bi.

When the big black man saw it, he stepped forward with a stick, and Liu Bi took the opportunity to retreat.

Yu Ban rode his horse to face the big black man.

The big black dancing stick swept away, Yu Ban's body was flexible, he lay on the horse's body, dodged a stick, turned the horse's head, and ran back into the formation.

Seeing this, Dian Wei held a halberd to face the battle.

The big black man slashed down with a stick, and the Dian Wei double halberd crossed over the top to stand it, and the big black man screamed and pressed down hard.

Dian Weili couldn't support it, pulled back the double halberd, and jumped to the left.

The big black stick pointed to the ground, and almost didn't fall.

Dian Wei moved behind him and attacked with a halberd.

The big black man turned and sat on the ground, and the stick swept across the ground.

Dian Wei jumped up and dodged, the two halberds were close together, and he smashed his head on the spot.

The big black man raised his stick to stand up, slowly stood up, and pushed hard, Dian Wei couldn't parry, and kicked back a few steps.

The big black man stepped forward and smashed it with a stick.

Dian Wei jumped behind him again, stabbing straight with his halberd.

The two of them are like this, they don't talk about tactics, they don't count the numbers, you come and go, you advance and I retreat, no matter how big or low, it's hard to tell whether you win or lose.

Look at the noon, one is out of breath, the other is sweating profusely.

The soldiers of the opposing sides had never seen this battle, and everyone was stunned and sighed.
