Cao Ren's envoy rushed to Zang Ba and Zhang Liao Hefei City to inform Cao Cao of his plan, and Zang Ba secretly withdrew his battalion and retreated after receiving the order, and rumors also spread in Hefei City.

Sun Quan captured several cavalry Cao Jun liaison envoys in a few days, and strictly tortured and interrogated, only to know that Cao Cao was seriously ill and returned to Xuchang, and the situation was not optimistic for a few days, so he came to inform Zhang Liao to prepare for the worst.

Sun Quan was a little undecided when he heard it, and he didn't know if it was true or not, Cao Cao was notoriously treacherous.

Sun Quan intensified his investigation and kept in close contact with Liu Bei. Han Dang and Zhu Ran, who confronted Zang Ba, reported: The Qingzhou soldiers were unstable, and they had retreated for more than 30 miles in the past few days.

Sun Quan's report asserted that this was a fraud, and it stands to reason that if Cao Cao really can't do it, Zang Ba should attack himself quickly, fight quickly, respond to Zhang Liao, and now withdraw the army, obviously because of the temptation himself.

The day after Sun Quan made his judgment, Zang Ba killed the horse pistol, stormed the Jiangdong army's camp, and broke a camp in Jiangdong. Fortunately, Lai was repelled by Han Dang.

Sun Quan was in the fog and ordered all camps to be on strict alert. Scouts and messengers who inquired about the news kept sending the news back.

At night, there was a fire in the city of Hefei, and Sun Quan was afraid that Zhang Liao would deceive, so he only sent a hundred people to try, but he was beaten by the defenders.

Sun Quan did not dare to move lightly, did not order the whole army to attack the city, the next day the spies in the city came to report that it was Cao Jun's panic last night that caused the garrison to catch fire, and the city was busy for a while, Sun Quan was annoyed.

Sun Quan convened the generals to discuss and tell him what had happened in the past few days, and Lu Dai suggested: "The enemy situation is unknown, for the sake of caution, it is better to wait for the news from all over the place to report before making a judgment." ”

Sun Quan didn't want to take risks, and agreed with Lu Dai's words in his heart, and the young general Sun Huan said: "If Cao Jun wants to confuse us, the news will receive false information no matter what, instead of waiting passively, it is better to take the initiative to attack." ”

Sun Quan asked, "How to attack?" ”

Sun Huan said: "Lord, I am willing to lead the headquarters of 3,000 soldiers and horses, attack Zang Ba's soldiers and horses, if Cao Cao is really seriously ill or dies of illness, his army will inevitably collapse at the touch of a button, if I can't find the flaws and weaknesses of the Cao army, then the result is naturally Cao Jun's strategy." ”

Sun Quan weighed it carefully and felt that it was also a good way to find out the truth of Cao's army with 3,000 soldiers and horses. So he promised to make Han Dang and Zhu Ran accept.

Sun Huan led 3,000 elite soldiers to the camp of Zangba's army, and Sun Huan was secretly happy to see that Cao's camp was loosely guarded and unguarded.

Quietly walked to the front of the Cao camp, removed the antlers and other obstacles, Sun Huan shouted, rushed into the Cao camp, the Cao army was not prepared, many Cao soldiers were still asleep, and even more suspicious of the camp for several days Cao Cao was seriously ill and did not heal the news, and the soldiers under the command of Zang Ba were mostly Zang Ba Taishan soldiers and Qingzhou soldiers.

The two soldiers and horses were originally adapted from the Yellow Turban Army, and it was okay to be properly restrained on weekdays, but now it is rumored that Cao Cao is seriously ill and began to panic, coupled with Zang Ba's deliberate laissez-faire, the more the rumors are said, the more outrageous they become, and even said that Cao Cao is dead, and the world is about to be in chaos, making the soldiers have no heart to fight. After Zang Ba felt that something was wrong and severely reprimanded, these soldiers and horses turned out to be really Cao Cao's failure.

Zang Ba retreated to lure the enemy, and the soldiers and horses were even more panicked. Under Sun Huan's blow, Cao Jun immediately collapsed, Sun Huan saw Cao Jun like this, his concerns were immediately dispelled, Sun Huan went straight to the Chinese army, to find Zang Ba, Zang Ba was shouting loudly Cao Jun to resist, to no avail, soldiers and horses scattered.

Sun Huan was overjoyed and rushed to Zang Ba, and when Zang Ba saw a young general coming, he recognized it as Sun Huan. didn't resist, turned over and left, Sun Huan was overjoyed, and didn't think much about it, thinking that Zang Ba was too frightened to engage because of the chaos of Cao's army.

Sun Huan shouted loudly, beckoning Jiangdong soldiers and horses to pursue. Send someone to report to Zhu Ran Han in the back to know and ask for reinforcements.

Zang Ba galloped wildly, and when he saw Sun Huan chasing closely behind, he couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Jiangdong Zhuzi, I don't know whether I live or die, wait for you to attract more soldiers and horses to send him to death." ”

Zang Ba turned two hills in a row, reined in his horse and laughed: "Sun Huan, you don't know whether you live or die, quickly get off your horse and surrender." ”

Sun Huan also laughed and said: "Zang Ba, you have no way to advance or retreat, and you dare to speak wildly again, I think you are the one who should dismount and surrender." ”

Zang Ba smiled: "There are soldiers and horses behind you to pick up you." ”

Sun Huan said: "What are you asking for, your tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were defeated by me, killed and captured more than 10,000 people, all the grain, grass and equipment were captured by me, and you were defeated miserably." It seems that Cao Cao is no longer good, and he has already seen the king of Hades. Jiang Dongbing laughed after hearing this.

Zang Ba said with steel teeth: "Sun Huan, you can see clearly, the terrain here is flat, which is conducive to our army. Sun Huan, you can only ride a boat, let you see the power of cavalry impact. ”

Sun Huan was shocked in his heart, and looked around, he didn't look carefully in the night, but now he stared at it, it was the wilderness.

Sun Huan began to beat the drum in his heart, but he said: "Zang Ba, you think I am a three-year-old child, I am afraid of your words, give it to me, and capture Zang Ba alive." The Jiangdong army behind him marched noisily.

Zang Ba smiled: "I still use cavalry to deal with you." As soon as the words fell, torches lit behind him, and a large number of Cao troops rushed over.

Sun Huan didn't know that he only defeated 40,000 of Zang Ba's 50,000 soldiers and horses, and Zang Ba had secretly selected 10,000 elite soldiers to inform the truth, and the defeat of 40,000 people was just a bait to tempt Jiangdong to attack.

For the time being, Sun Huan seems to have captured nearly 10,000 Cao troops, but in fact, as long as he can turn defeat into victory, the defeated troops can be reunited, and the captured soldiers and horses can be rescued.

Cao Jun's plan succeeded, and when Zhu Ran and Han Dang saw Sun Huan's results, their worries were immediately dispelled. On the one hand, the two went to Sun Quan's office to report the victory, and on the other hand, they divided their troops to guard the prisoners, and led two departments of 10,000 soldiers and horses to meet Sun Huan.

The Jiangdong army was full of joy to chase and kill the rout, and Han Dang suddenly waved his hand in the rapid march, the Jiangdong army stopped marching, Han Dang closed his eyes and listened quietly, Zhu Ran didn't know what Han Dang was doing, and was about to ask, Han Dang immediately lay on the ground and listened for a while.

He stood up and shouted: "Enemy attack, prepare for battle, extinguish the fire quickly." "The Jiangdong Army is inexplicable, just now it was chasing and killing the rout, why did the enemy suddenly attack.

Zhu Ran rushed over and said, "Old General Han, what's the matter." ”

Han Dang said: "Cavalry, there is a large group of cavalry approaching. ”

Zhu Ran said: "It's impossible, Tanma reported that Cao Xiu did not leave his camp, and the soldiers and horses were not mobilized." ”

Han Dang said: "I don't have time to explain, hurry up and form a defense." ”

Zhu Ran didn't ask any more questions, and began to order the adjutant generals, captains and others to prepare troops and horses, and the drawbacks caused by the rapid march became apparent, and the army could not be prepared into a dense formation in a short time.

The cavalry led by Cao Zhen appeared at the best time and favorable place, and in the blink of an eye, it had rushed to the front, although the Jiangdong Army quickly extinguished the torches, the Cao Army already had a general understanding of the location of the Jiangdong Army, and the cavalry quickly divided into three teams, and a series of attacks to attack, divide, disrup, and encircle made the Jiangdong Army quickly collapse.

Han Dang and Zhu Ran tried their best to block it, and they couldn't support Sun Huan anymore, so they retreated. Sun Huan had been annihilated by Zang Ba's three times the attack of his own troops, Sun Huan abandoned his horses and quietly disappeared in the chaos before he escaped.

Zhu Ran and Han Dang broke through the entanglement of the cavalry, and wanted to bring out more soldiers and horses to break through, but they had no effect at all under the impact of the cavalry that came and went like the wind.

When the two of them saw the camp from a distance, the banner had completely changed, and all the flags in Jiangdong had been replaced by the Cao army flag.

The two of them didn't feel that the world was spinning for a while, and they didn't dare to detain the camp. Rushing to the Jiangdong camp behind, I encountered thousands of remnants on the road, most of whom were soldiers guarding the camp.

Zhu Ran and Han Dang only knew that after the two led their troops to support Sun Huan, the Jiangdong soldiers and horses escorted the captives back to the camp, but when the camp gate was wide open, and the Cao army prisoners were entering the camp, a cavalry of about 1,000 people of the Cao army suddenly arrived, taking advantage of the Jiangdong soldiers and horses could not advance or retreat, a surprise sprint, plus the captured Cao soldiers saw the reinforcements coming, restless, and began to resist, and the Jiangdong army was quickly defeated.

The people abandoned the camp and scattered and fled, and soon when they saw that there were no pursuers, they began to gather and rest again.

Zhu Ran and Han Dang gasped when they heard this, this was really unexpected, Cao Jun deceived his 40,000 soldiers and horses to hang himself on the bait, which was too ruthless, and he was worried about Sun Huan's situation again.

At that moment, I had to send someone to investigate, pack up the soldiers and horses, and temporarily return to Sun Quan's camp to discuss. The two of them prepared their troops to retreat, and while they were retreating, several horses galloped over, and it was the messenger brought back by Jiangdong Tanma.

As soon as the messenger saw the two of them, he said, "Two generals, something has happened. After receiving the news that General Sun and the two generals had succeeded, the lord sent 15,000 soldiers and horses to help. Unexpectedly, Cao Xiu, who had not seen any movement, suddenly moved.

Cao Bing's cavalry was divided into two parts, one attacked the confrontation troops and horses sent by our army, and Cao Hong commanded four or five thousand cavalry, directly into the place where our army sent reinforcements to receive the two generals.

Originally, this was nothing, the front and back were our soldiers and horses, Cao Xiu was sent to death, and the lord led 30,000 soldiers and horses to fight, preparing two generals to live in front, and the lord attacked behind him and annihilated Cao Xiu.

Unexpectedly, the people who sent to contact the two generals had no news, but received the news of the defeat of the two generals. The lord was worried, and sent us to find the whereabouts of the general. ”

Zhu Ran was about to speak, when Han Dang asked, "Where is the lord now?" ”

Came to the human: "Now the lord's tens of thousands of troops are slaughtered with Cao Xiu's cavalry. ”

Han Dang shouted: "It's not good, once Zang Ba and Cao Zhen in front arrive, tens of thousands of my Jiangdong disciples will be finished." ”

Zhu Ran was shocked, and Han Dang pondered for a while and said, "Yifeng, you go back first and tell the lord that everything is okay with us." Just go! ”

Zhu Ran didn't dare to delay, nodded and agreed, and followed the people to the camp.

After Zhu Ran left, Han Dang turned his horse head and said: Jiangdong sons, you are all my heroes in Jiangdong, and now is the time of crisis. Jiangdong's life and death are on us.

The whole army obeyed the order, turned around, and killed back. Willing to follow the old man to take a step forward, unwilling to leave on his own. ”

Jiangdong Army whispered for a while, and I don't know who said that Cao Jun had cavalry. Han Dang said angrily: "Back then, Xiang Yu was only 8,000 disciples, and 20,000 soldiers and horses dared to fight against the Qin soldiers who came from the border pass ten times, and now Cao soldiers are only 10,000 or 20,000, and we still have 3,000 people.

If you are afraid of death, then take off your armor and put down your weapons, I will not be embarrassed, but I can save my life. ”

After speaking, Han immediately knelt down and said, "Wentai Gong, Bo Fu, you wait, I, Han Dang, am going to see you." ”

Kowtowing three times, Han Dang got up and said, "Today is the day I will be loyal!" ”

When the remnants of Jiangdong saw Han Dang's appearance, they all promised: "The general is still not sparing his life, and we are naturally willing to accompany him." ”

Han Dang shouted: "Okay, let Cao Jun quietly what is the Jiangdong disciple today." The whole army obeyed the order and each took off his left sleeve. When marching into the army, all those who have no sleeves are their own people, and the rest are all enemies.

Kill one without losing money, kill two to make a steady profit. If I die in battle, I will be replaced by an adjutant general. Breaking the kettle and sinking the boat, there is no advance or retreat, and Zang Ba and Cao must not be allowed to reconcile. ”

As soon as Han Dang's voice fell, Zhu Ran returned, and Han Dang asked, "You have seen the lord so soon." ”

Zhu Ran said: "Old general, how am I an idiot, the old general realized that the lord might be in danger but did not take any action, but instead asked me to see the lord, which is strange." I sent my guards to tell my lord about the danger. I heard what I said just now, how can I fall behind when I am sent to death. ”

Han Dang really wanted to say something. Zhu Ran raised his arms and shouted, "Follow me." Taking the lead, Han Dang didn't persuade again, and smiled slightly. The horses followed.

Zang Ba and Cao Zhen have entered the camp of Han Dang and Zhu Ran, and surprisingly, the two of them entered the camp to rectify the Cao soldiers, but the Qingzhou soldiers and horses were mostly adapted from the Yellow Turban Army, and they were rescued after being taken prisoner and lost their fighting spirit.

Zang Ba clarified that Cao Cao was not sick, and asked these people to follow him to kill the thief and make meritorious contributions, these Qingzhou soldiers and horses did not believe it at all, Zang Ba could not integrate them with all his might, and many Qingzhou soldiers and horses broke away on their own.

Cao Zhen saw that Zang Ba couldn't control his soldiers and horses, and he was anxious, how could the fighter plane that he had created with great difficulty be destroyed by the rebel army, and ordered his own soldiers to kill hundreds of rebel troops, and only then did he get a little better.

Han Dang and Zhu Ran approached the camp, and the spies came to report that Cao Jun was still in the camp, Han Dang let go of his heart, and what he was most worried about along the way was that Zang Ba and Cao Xiu would besiege Sun Quan, so everything would be over.

The big camp was Han Dang's standby, Han Dang naturally knew very well, the spies found that Cao Zhen's cavalry was mostly on standby outside the camp, Han Dang approached the big camp from the east of the camp and Zhu Ran divided into two teams, and Han Dang entered from the southeast. Zhu Ran entered from the Northeast.

Zang Bazheng and Cao Zhen were reorganizing the soldiers and horses in the camp, and they were caught off guard by the sudden arrival of the Jiangdong soldiers and horses. After the Jiangdong soldiers rushed into the camp, they were divided into several teams, as long as they had sleeves, they would cut down when they saw people, and Cao Bing couldn't figure out the situation, and they were already in chaos.

Cao Zhen had just deterred the situation, and the Jiangdong army rushed down, and the Qingzhou soldiers of the Cao army not only did not resist the Jiangdong army that they killed, but took advantage of the chaos to start fleeing.

Han Dang and Zhu Ran led the Jiangdong soldiers and horses to kill Cao Jun while shouting: "Cao Xiu has been defeated, my lord Sun Quan personally led the army to come, we are the vanguard, and those who know each other should quickly put down their weapons and surrender, otherwise they will be called ghosts." ”

When the Qingzhou soldiers heard this, they ran faster, Zang's domineering eyes widened, their seven holes were smoking, and they held a big knife to kill the Qingzhou soldiers who were fleeing, and said loudly to Cao Zhen: "Zidan, you go outside the camp to command the cavalry, and whoever runs out of the camp, regardless of the enemy or me, will be killed, even if it is me Zang Ba." ”

Cao Zhen listened, looked at Zang Ba, Zang Ba arched his hand and said, "Please." ”

Cao Zhen also gave up his hand and turned his horse's head to leave the camp. Zang Ba ordered his orders to be passed on. Zang Ba rushed in the direction of the Jiangdong army, stabbed several fleeing Qingzhou military captains, and then ordered the Qingzhou soldiers and horses to turn around and fight.

The Qingzhou soldiers were finally afraid of Zang Ba, and turned around and ran around the village. Zang Ba was furious, and rushed to the front to kill several Jiangdong soldiers and drive away the Qingzhou soldiers and horses! The Qingzhou soldiers who fled on all sides were also driven back by Cao Zhen's cavalry, and they were still chaotic, but they had stopped fleeing and started to fight.

Seeing that the situation was gradually improving, Zang Ba settled down and looked around, the so-called thief captured the king first, and Zang Ba was ready to take down Han Dang and Zhu Ran first.

As everyone knows, Zhu Ran has already stared at Zang Ba, Zang Ba is looking for Han Dang and Zhu Ran's figures, Zhu Ran has already mixed in the crowd, waiting for Zang Ba to find Han Dang, he is opening his bow and preparing to shoot Han Dang, his attention is all on Han Dang, Zhu Ran took the lead, pulled the strong bow violently, and shot Zang Ba with only one arrow, Zang Ba turned over and fell off the horse.

Zhu Ran shouted with joy: "The thief leader Zang Ba is dead, and you don't surrender quickly." ”

As soon as these words came out, Cao Bing, who had just had the heart to resist, began to mess up again. Han Dang was fighting, and when he heard this, he was also happy, and it was really an unexpected gain to kill the enemy general.

I don't feel that the nerves that were tense just now have relaxed because of this good news. In an instant, Han Dang suddenly felt a little light up in front of him, and then an arrow hit his chest.

Han Dang hadn't reacted yet, so he only listened: "Jiangdong Xiao'er, do you think that just one arrow can shoot me Zang Ba?" ”

Zhu Ran's arrow hit Zang Ba is true, but it just shot down Zang Ba's shoulder, and did not hit Zang Ba's neck, Zhu Ran didn't make sure that Zang Ba was hit by the arrow, and immediately pretended to cheat and fall from his horse, taking advantage of the Jiangdong Army's negligence to take precautions, and shot Han Dang with an arrow.

This arrow Zang Ba is very accurate, and the strength is enough, and it is right in the chest. Then Zang Ba jumped on the horse, pulled out the arrow on his shoulder and shouted: "Jiangdong thief, you want to kill me Zang Ba." Let's take a look at Han Dang's old horseman. ”

When Jiang Dongjun heard this, they looked in the direction of Han Dang, and Han Dang was really gone. Zhu Ran hurriedly killed Han Dang's side, hugged it and took a closer look, Han Dang was already dead, Zhu Ran was shocked, and muttered: "Old general, why are you ......." ”

Zang Ba began to command the Cao soldiers who had recovered their morale, and the death of Han Dang made the Jiangdong Army's combat strength begin to loosen, and the numerical disadvantage and fatigue were revealed.

Zhu Ran saw that the situation was not good, so he had to hand over Han Dang's body to his own soldiers for safekeeping, and commanded the Jiangdong army himself: "General Han Lao has fought all his life, and today he died for the country, it is the honor of a military general, and it is a model for me to serve my life, I, Zhu Ran, as a child of Jiangdong, am not afraid of life and death."

Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, broke the cauldron back then, and I waited for the death of the lord today, the men in Jiangdong are all heroes, and they will never be reluctant, and the brothers will kill. ”

After listening to Zhu Ran's words, the Jiangdong army broke out again with combat power and fought with the Cao army, Zang Ba commanded the soldiers and horses to surround Zhu Ran and more than a thousand Jiangdong troops, and after a struggle, Jiangdong soldiers and horses were no more than 100 people.

Zang Ba drank and ordered Zhu Ran to surrender, Zhu Ran scolded non-stop, Zang Ba sneered: "Since you don't know how to lift, let's die." Kill me. ”

As soon as the words fell, hundreds of people stabbed obliquely, entered the encirclement, and beckoned Zhu Ran to break through. Zang Ba looked at the Cao Army's armor and was wondering, the young general led by the member was very brave, Zhu Ran put Han Dang in front of his saddle, and led everyone to attack inside and outside together, tearing apart the encirclement of the Cao Army.

Zang Ba shouted: "Where did you come from, kill me." ”

The young general is Sun Huan, Sun Huan collected the remnants of the army after the fiasco and escaped, ready to withdraw, on the way received the news of Han Dang and Zhu Ran's defeat, thinking that this was all because of himself, he felt that he had no face to see Sun Quan, so he sighed in the forest, and sent out to report that Han Dang and Zhu Ran's camp had soldiers and horses to fight.

Sun Huan was strange, could it be that the soldiers and horses guarding the camp were resisting the Cao army, Sun Huan summoned the remnants of the soldiers to check, but when he saw the Cao Zhen cavalry on the periphery, Sun Huan judged that there must be Jiangdong soldiers and horses trapped in the camp.

Sun Huan was ready to go in to the rescue, but the troops were too small, and it was not enough for Cao Jun to raise troops to eat. Sun Huan hurriedly found the corpse of Cao Jun who had not yet been reined in, pulled off his armor, pretended to be Cao Jun, bypassed Cao Jun's cavalry, entered the camp, and rescued Zhu Ran.

After the two met, they desperately broke through, and Cao Zhen on the periphery volleyed, and the two were injured respectively, and finally escaped, with only more than ten horses left around them.

After Zang Ba and Cao Zhen finished solving Han Dang and Zhu, the sky had already begun to turn white, and the two quickly selected soldiers and horses to support Cao Hong, and when they arrived at the battlefield, they did not expect that Sun Quan and Cao Hong had already fought to the end.

Cao Hong's cavalry attacked Sun Quan's Jiangdong soldiers and horses several times, and Jiangdong relied on the strength of the people and gathered several times, when Cao Hong's cavalry lost the room for galloping and impact.

Sun Quan began to gather the cavalry that surrounded and annihilated Cao Hong, Cao Xiu struggled to support, waiting for Cao Zhen's reinforcements, Sun Quan learned that Sun Huan, Han Dang and others were defeated, and began to worry that Cao's army would come to help.

Sun Quan sprinkled a large number of scouting horses to listen to the news of Sun Huan and other Jiangdong soldiers and horses and the movements of Cao's army, and stepped up urging Xu Sheng, Zhou Tai and others to end the battle as soon as possible.

The two armies fought with their lives, and when Cao Hong's 5,000 cavalry was left with only 2,000 people, Sun Quan did not dare to drag it down, and took the lead in leaving the battlefield.

Cao Hong left behind four or five thousand soldiers and horses of the Jiangdong Army, which was far from the plan.

Cao Hong was angry in his heart, and asked the two, "What are you two doing?" When the battle is over, you will come. ”

Cao Zhen had no choice but to accuse again and again, and Cao Hong said angrily: "The king is willing to risk the damage of his reputation to carry out a scheme to annihilate the main force of Jiangdong to relieve the siege of Hefei, you actually delayed the fighter, can you afford to be charged?" ”

Cao Zhen only promised to confess, and repeatedly said that he was not angry. Cao Hong angrily picked up the horsewhip to whip Cao Zhen, and Zang Ba hurriedly stepped forward and said: "General, the responsibility for delaying the fighter this time lies with me, not Zidan." ”

Cao Hong looked at Zang Ba, and Zang Ba said that his lax management of the army caused the soldiers and horses in Qingzhou not to obey orders, delaying time, and the Jiangdong army returned to desperately delay. Excuse yourself.

Cao Zhen also said: "I am also responsible for this matter, and I am entrusted by the king." After hearing this, Cao Hong's anger disappeared slightly, and he looked at the two of them and said, "You two get up first, Zang Ba, so Han Dang has been shot by you." ”

Zang overbearing: "Exactly." ”

Cao Hongxin said: "Kill the general of the thief army, and annihilate nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses, and the results are reasonable, but it is a pity that the 50,000 Jiangdong soldiers and horses who came this time were not completely annihilated." ”

Cao Hong thought about it and said, "Let's pack up the soldiers and horses for the time being, and report to the king to know." "Cao Zhen and Zang Ba promised.
