In the sixth year of Guanghe, June 30th, early in the morning.

The Taishan army, which had already been ambushed on the side, rose up in two directions and launched a fierce attack on the Han soldiers on the north and south banks of Puyang. One is the Shanyang soldiers on the north bank of Pushui with 3,000 infantry and cavalry of Ding Sheng, Zhao Liang, Zhu Ying, and Tian Jun. All the way was the four troops led by Dian Wei, who crossed Pushui directly, and they did not directly attack the soldiers of Rencheng State, but hid and ambushed at the communication lines of the two military stations in Hanting.

At that time, the Shanyang Han soldiers stationed on the north bank of Pushui had a total of seven units and 4,000 people. These seven heroes are Gaoping Wang's visit, one of the eight members of the party, and Liu Biao and Xue Yu are equally famous. There is also Tan Bin, one of the eight members of the party, who is as famous as Zhang Jian. This world Tan has not been fully developed, and when it comes to the Liu and Song dynasties, Gaoping Tan will become the world's highest, such as Tan by virtue of, Boudoir Yongsu, known by the world. There are also Tan Shao, Tan Yi, Tan Daoji, etc., all of whom are famous generals. In addition to the elders of the first generation of the party, there are also handsome people such as Zhang Jie, Liu Hu, Xue Qi, etc., all of whom are relatives of the party. For example, Zhang is Zhang Jian's brother; Liu Hu, cousin of Liu; Xue Qi, Xue Yu's brother.

In addition, there are two other people, who are powerful local tyrants, such as Xi Wei and Li Jiang.

Xi Xuan is the son of Zheng Xuan, at this time has not yet become famous, in another plane, his person later became the official to the imperial history doctor, his merit is to kill Kong Rong, with his deputy Hua Xin from the wall to kill Queen Fu, can be described as Cao Cao's right-hand man. In the future, their Xi family will also become a famous family in the Wei and Jin dynasties, and their great-great-grandson Xi Jian is a hero for a while. Of course, now, he is just an ordinary townsman with a good teacher, with his own parts, and wants to make a contribution in this war.

There is also Li Jiang who has the same mind as him, he is a local tyrant in Changyi, and he has a trilogy, this time he came to see if he could pick up the cheap, and make one or two contributions. The reason why he was able to come was because this family was the periphery of the Gaoping Wang family, and the Wang family was the home of the party members.

As an aside, this Li Jiang is the brother of Li Shuo, the Shanyang ranger who fought with Dian Wei outside Boxian County before, and his courage is not inferior to his brother, but I don't know if his martial arts will be better than his brother.

The seven tribes of Shanyang are based on Wang Wan, who is highly respected and the party elders, so they naturally take the lead. But this does not mean that Wang Wan can integrate these seven parts. On the contrary, because the contradiction between the Shanyang Zhang clan and the Xue clan could not be resolved at all, the two divisions each carried a battalion with a familiar one, and the Shanyang soldiers on the north bank of Puyang were divided into three battalions.

Coach Wang Wan and the famous Tan Bin and Wuqu Li Jiang are a battalion; Zhang Zuo and Liu Hu are a battalion; Xue Qi and Xi are a battalion.

And this sub-battalion was directly taken advantage of by the Taishan army.

On June 30, early in the morning, Ding Sheng was the main force, and Zhao Liang and Zhu Ying were the auxiliaries, and they directly launched an attack on Zhang Zhuo's camp. They threw the grass and fire pots they had prepared into the Han army camp and burned them to the tent. Zhang Zhubu, who was sleeping, couldn't resist at all in the face of the raging fire, so he directly broke the camp and entered the Chinese army king's visit. After that, Ding Sheng led his troops to drive directly to the king's visit to the camp, and after a fierce battle, Han Qi was crumbling.

Wang visited the original to hold on, and sent ten begging troops to go to the camp of Renchengguo on the south bank of Pushui, but they were all strangled by the Taishan army in ambush, and one failed to return.

Knowing that there were no reinforcements from outside, Wang Wan was disheartened and prepared to break through.

He consulted with Xue Qi of the outer camp and decided to break through at the same time at dusk, and took Shanyang Yingda as the first gathering place and Lihu County as the second gathering place. Wang Wan thought that after determining the time for the breakthrough, the various units would set off on time, but who knew that when it was almost dusk, the cattle and horses of the Luche battalion were frightened away by the rockets fired by the Taishan army outside.

The cattle and horses here lifted the dust, which directly made Xue Qi in the outer camp think that the breakthrough was ahead of schedule, so he opened the wall and rushed to Pushui to flee for his life.

This directly hit the sleeve of Tian Juntu, who was cruising around the periphery, intercepted and killed layer by layer, outflanked layer by layer, and finally Xue Qi and Xi Xian, the two main generals failed to break through, all of them were captured by the Taishan army, the whole army was 1,000 people, 600 were captured, 200 were killed, and another 200 disappeared by night.

But the above descriptions are all said by the last captured Wang Wan, in fact, in the eyes of the captured Xue Qi, the truth is like this.

In the early afternoon, Xue Qi and Xi Xi received a military order from the Chinese army to scout the horses that had entered the camp at the risk of death, and ordered them to break through at dusk. But then the coach Wang Wan temporarily changed the plan, he was worried that it would be difficult to move at night, and the troops would fall apart directly, so he planned to break through in advance, so in Shenshi, they had already assembled ox carts to prepare to break through from the south of the camp, and they didn't tell Xue Qi at all.

So when it was time for Shen, Xue Qi and other generals were still waiting in the camp, and suddenly found that the camp of the Chinese army in the southeast was already noisy and boiling, and Xue Qi was busy selecting warriors to explore, only to know that Wang Wan, Tan Bin, Li Jiang, Zhang Qi, and Liu Hu had all broken through in the south, and Xue Qi and Xi Wei were directly regarded as outcasts.

In the end, the Taishan army that could not stop Xue Qi and Xi Xuan left the two divisions, Wang Wan and other five main forces were partially broken through, but unfortunately, when Wang visited the ox cart, the wheel was broken on the road, and he could only get off the car and break through with the rout.

But Rao is like this, the turquoise general who hunted and captured Wang Yu still unceremoniously threw him on his horse, and then sent him to Tian Jun all the way to the prisoner, and the old man was not killed on the way.

Wang Wan was unlucky to be captured, but there was something even more unlucky, that is, Liu Hu.

As Liu's cousin's brother, he is quite brave, and he wanted to kill one or two thieves when he broke through before, to boost morale, but unfortunately just out of the battle, he met Wang Dang, the cavalry general of the Taishan army, and his people were holding a bow, looking for a suitable target. When he saw Liu Hu's good head with his head rubbed, he was happy and shot him directly.

Therefore, this fierce general who should have been killed by the little overlord of Jiangdong in the battle of Xiakou died directly and inexplicably on the east bank of Pushui, which can be regarded as a different way of death.

And the three generals who really broke through were Tan Bin, Li Jiang, and Zhang Zuo.

The three generals rushed all the way to Pushui with 200 defeated soldiers, looking at the surging Pushui, Li Jiang and Zhang unloaded their armor and crossed the river without saying a word, and their soldiers went into the water naked. But the earnest old man Tan Bin was blind, he was already old and fit, and he was running all the way, if it wasn't for his house slave who didn't give up, and ran all the way with his steps, how could he escape from Ascension?

But this will, in the face of Pu Shui blocking the road, Tan Bin's house slave is no matter how loyal he is, he can't help him cross the river, and in the end Tan Bin has no choice but to let the house slave continue to carry the chariot and go to Pu Shui, where there is a ferry.

But unfortunately, in the end, Tan Bin disappeared, along with his four loyal house slaves, no one knew what happened after they left, in short, they disappeared.

Li Jiang and Zhang took the Shanyang soldiers to die, and the road did not end. After they swam through Pushui, they directly disagreed over the meeting place.

Originally, the military order of the commander Wang Wan was that the first breakthrough place was the camp of Renchengguo, but Li Jiang had a different idea, he wanted to take his troops to Lihu.

Zhang disagreed, feeling that he was empty from the fox, and he had no soldiers, so he went there to a dead end. And the direction of the previous city is the way to live. Li Jiang didn't explain much, and directly took the remaining sixty people and went straight to Lihu. And Zhang still went south as originally planned, and was directly ambushed by the Dian Wei Department who was ambushed in the traffic road.

So Zhang ran away, and in the end he only died a moment later than Liu Hu, so why bother!

Therefore, in this battle, the seven divisions and 4,000 soldiers of Shanyang were exhausted, and in the end, only the townsman Li Jiang and the remnants survived.

From here, it can also be seen that the great turning point of the times has arrived.

When the order is still in place, celebrities like Wang Wan and Tan Bin have their own set of rules, and once the order collapses and everyone fights, they need to rely on their own ability to survive. In the past, no matter how famous he was, no matter how good his knowledge was, no matter how high his morality was, he could not help him save his life in danger, only his own alertness and wisdom were the key to survival.

For example, Li Jiang, compared with the Shanyang Party, his status and power are no different from cloud mud. But in the end, only this townsman lived. Why? Just because Li Jiang and his brother Li Shuo are the first generation of entrepreneurs in the family, they have more experience in fighting than those high-ranking eunuchs, they are like wild wolves, dare to gamble and dare to fight, and know how to make choices at critical times.

After Li Jiang crossed the Pushui, why didn't he go to the camp of Renchengguo, it was because his founder Wang visited several times to explore the south, but there was no news. At that time, Li Jiang guessed that there was a high probability that there would be an ambush of Taishan thieves in this section of the communication line, so he knew that if he continued to go south, it must be a dead end. At this time, the only way to survive was in the seemingly empty Lihu City.

In fact, it can be seen here how utilitarian the moral character of a villager like Li Jiang is. There is such a big problem in his decision-making, and he doesn't squeak. Later, Zhang, who suffered with him, insisted on going south, and Li Jiangming knew that there was a dead end in front of him, so he didn't say a word, turned around and left.

Why didn't he say more? is worried that the Taishan army in front of him opened the beast net and did not catch the prey in the end, so he was angry and chased after him, wouldn't he Li Jiang be dangerous at that time?

It seems that this Li Jiang is ruthless, and it is estimated that he will really have a future in the future.

When returning to the Pushui battlefield, the situation at this time was very clear. The Shanyang battalion on the north bank of Pushui was 4,000, accounting for nearly half of the strength of the Yanzhou coalition army, so when its troops were attacked at the beginning, the Yanzhou soldiers on the bank of Pushui had a good time and were ready to send troops.

But who knew that in just one day, the Shanyang camp would be like a mud lake, crumbling to pieces. Looking at the black smoke burning on the north bank of Pushui, the camp of Rencheng State who stayed on the south bank was also making a life-and-death decision.

The camp of Rencheng State is the commander of Rencheng soldiers, He Xu, who looked at the black smoke in the north and paced anxiously in the big tent. After a long time, he stomped his feet and said to the generals in the tent:

"We still have to send troops, if the Shanyang battalion is lost, our Yanzhou army will be directly lame. Before leaving, the prince repeatedly obeyed the instructions I wanted to do things with a public heart, saying that the Taiping Road was in trouble in Yanzhou, and the Shishu suffered for a long time. This gathering of Yanzhou's troops is the time to calm down in one fell swoop, otherwise, I am afraid that it will no longer be able to be governed. ”

He said it well, but the generals in the tent were silent. Especially the two largest heroes in Rencheng's national soldiers, Lu Qian and Jing Zhou looked straight at the ground as if they hadn't heard He Xu's words, and they didn't even make eye contact with He Xu.

He Xuan saw that these heroes did not accept the stubble at all, and scolded in his heart:

"It's really cunning like a fox, the Du Juan blood I said didn't let these people raise troops, it was really a loss of conscience, and my heart was full of loyalty and righteousness."

You can't blame He Xuan for the above performance, although he is the main general, he only has 500 county soldiers, and these heroic soldiers add up to 1,000 soldiers, accounting for two-thirds of the battalion.

If the heroes don't come, then why don't he take the initiative to go, he directly talked to a white warrior at the bottom right, and said with a smile:

"Zike, you are brave and martial arts, and the trilogy is exquisite, it is the time to serve the king, as long as you are the leader in this battle, I will definitely seek filial piety for you this year."

This white warrior is none other than Rencheng Lu Qian. His person is seven feet eight tall, holding a treasure knife, the instrument is magnificent, majestic and self-generated in this big tent, and he is the king of heroes.

It is true that Lu Qian also recognizes himself in this way. When he was young, he cut off the township with his tribes, and because of his courage and courage, he suppressed the thieves of Surabaya for a long time, and praised the country. He has obtained a treasure knife, which he is now holding on his waist, and since he has this knife, Lu Qian will never leave his body, because those who have a phase are broken, and those who get this knife will be ranked among the third dukes. So Lu Qian is a man with great ambitions.

But now in the face of He Xu's question, Lu Qian slowly said these words:

"He thief Cao, called by the country, I, Lu Qian, naturally do not give in. But I have heard that the wise do not stand under the wall. Pitai thieves and others, although they are rebellious, but they are experienced in soldiers. The confrontation lasted for half a month, and once the troops were dispatched, the invasion was like fire. The combat situation of our army is too obvious, and it is to respond to the Shanyang soldiers on the north bank of Pushui. How can a thief not know, how can he not be guarded, how can he not ambush? ”

These three were speechless, but they still had to open their mouths, so they listened to Lu Qian continue:

"Of course, if we stick to the big wall, we will lose the intention of Uncle Fang to let us camp on the south bank of Pushui at that time. So this soldier still has to be saved. ”

Hearing this, He Xuan turned his sorrow into joy and nodded busily. He didn't know at all that Lu Qian's words, turning his hands into clouds and turning his hands into rain, had already dominated the whole scene, and He Xuqi's emotions had been unconsciously affected by it.

Lu Qian saw that the time was almost up, so he explained his strategy and discernment:

"He thief Cao, I am waiting for this time to go north to rescue, it can be said that life and death are shared, if you can't work together, you and I will die on the bank of this water. So please let me do it. Lu paid for himself, no matter what the road ahead, he would not let the blood of my people in the city be spilled. ”

】

After speaking, Lu Qian solemnly hugged his fist to He Xu.

As soon as Lu Qian finished speaking, Jing Zhou of Rencheng over there, and Fan Yan of Kang's father, all came out of the queue tacitly and bowed to He Xu together.

Looking at these tacit understanding of Ren Chengguo Haoqiang, no matter how dull they are, they know that these people already have one heart, and the thief Cao Chang He is humble in his heart, but his face is as usual, he twists his beard, smiles, and immediately helps Lu Qian, and said with a smile:

"This time, the safety of the 1,500 soldiers in the city depends on Lu Jun."

After speaking, he handed over the talisman on his waist to Lu Qian, not caring at all.
