Zhang Fei led 10,000 troops, brought grain and grass, and broke through to argue. Zhang Fei used to fight here, so he was naturally familiar with the road.

At dusk, it was getting late, Zhang Fei led the troops to approach the lower debate, twenty miles away from the lower debate, and encountered the Cao army patrol, Zhang Fei did not talk nonsense, and the whole army charged. Cao's army besieged the city for two months, and never saw a single Han army, and now it suddenly killed 10,000 people, which is really panicked.

Zhang Feizhang's eight snake spears stood upright, and the roars were repeated, only to make his ears buzz. The Han army followed Zhang Fei and rushed forward with his head and rushed to the Cao camp under the city of Xiabian.

Cao Ying's guard had the intention to make contributions in front of Cao Pi's eyes, and when he saw that Zhang Fei's hair and beard were mostly white, he deceived him into being old, and he had already opened the camp gate and led the troops out.

Zhang Fei saw that someone wanted to engage with him, the two horses intersected, Zhang Fei took advantage of the momentum of the horse to wave his hand is three spears, Cao Jiang all the next is also numb, the big knife in his hand is half a beat slower, Zhang Fei shouted, a spear picked Cao Jiang off the horse, left and right stepped forward to cut off Cao Jiang's head, Zhang Fei picked the head and killed Cao Ying.

The defenders of Cao Ying saw that the Lord was about to be killed, but before they could react, Zhang Fei had already killed in front of him, and the Han army rushed into Cao Ying and slashed Cao Jun. Cao's army was unable to organize an effective resistance and fled in all directions.

Zhang Fei ignored the rout and killed Cao Ying, Zhang Fei shouted behind him: "Keep up, don't drag me back!" The Han army agreed together.

Zhang Fei quickly ran to the next Cao camp, the Cao camp guards closed the door and did not fight, Zhang Fei waved the eight snake spears, and the Han army walked around the camp in an orderly manner.

The guards of Cao Ying immediately panicked, they were afraid of Zhang Fei's bravery and did not dare to fight, and used the camp to block the Han army, and they did not come to Cao Ying at all for a long time.

Cao Jiang was really at a loss and didn't know what to do. If you don't fight, you may not be able to beat Zhang Fei, and if you don't fight, it is conceivable that Cao Pi will cut him when he turns back. After some weighing, General Cao had no choice but to bite the bullet and order the whole army to attack, so that he could earn a reputation for serving the country without hesitation, and his family would also benefit, which was better than being cut without a fight.

Zhang Fei led troops to guard against the sneak attack of the Cao army, and now that the nearby Cao army has discovered himself, it is the best policy to kill the city as soon as possible, otherwise the siege of tens of thousands of Cao troops will be very fatal.

As soon as the door of Cao Ying's camp opened, Zhang Fei was overjoyed and didn't say a word, and without waiting for Cao Jun to leave the camp, Zhang Fei had already greeted him, and Cao Jun's bows and crossbows in the camp were fired together.

Zhang Fei danced the Zhangba snake spear like a wheel, protecting himself and his horses, and shouted at the same time: "Don't be afraid, rush with me and slaughter these thieves." ”

Behind him, there were as many as 100 people in the Han army who fell to the ground with arrows, and after listening to Zhang Fei's words, they still rushed desperately. After three rounds of arrow rain, Zhang Fei killed in front of Cao Jiang's eyes.

is the so-called first to seize people, Zhang Fei killed in front of Cao Jiang's eyes, Cao Jiang was taken aback, Zhang Fei roared violently, and picked off Cao Jiang who had not yet reacted with a spear, and then waved left and right, jumping dozens of Cao soldiers down.

The Han army was greatly encouraged, and the Cao army was in close contact, and the Cao army who killed hurriedly retreated to the camp, and the Han army bit the Cao army tightly, and followed the Cao army into the Cao camp, Zhang Fei slashed all the way, killed the Cao camp, and broke through.

Zhang Fei pulled out two battalions in a row, and the city of Xia Wei was already close at hand. Suddenly, the flanks shouted: "Zhang Feipifu, dare to do it here, I don't know whether I live or die." ”

Zhang Fei recognized it as Xu Huang at a glance, Zhang Fei smiled and said: "You still don't know which one is dead and which one is alive, don't go, eat me with a spear!" ”

Deputy General Lei Tong stopped Zhang Fei and said, "General, we should go first to send grain, grass and aid instead of fighting with Xu Huang." I block Xu Huang, and the general can go first. ”

Zhang Fei said: "It makes sense, but Xu Huang is not something you can stop, my second brother Guan Yu is still afraid, you lead the troops to go first, and I will break back." After speaking, he handed over his hand to Xu Huang.

Lei Tong led his troops to attack and arrived at the last Cao camp in Xiabian. Under the Cao camp, the Cao army is no longer as good as the previous two camps, and they have not organized defenses.

Cao Jun was already ready, and in front of the camp, Lei Tong couldn't help but feel scratching his head, but he also understood that there was no advance or retreat now, and there was a violent impact.

Cao Jun stretched out his bow and arrows, shot arrows in an orderly manner, and Lei Tong danced his spear, but he did not have Zhang Fei's skills, and after several rounds of rain, he was hit by two arrows.

Just when Zhang Fei entered the army, Deng Tong, the martial capital Taishou in the city, had already received the news and watched it in the city, thought about it for a long time, and asked whether to go out of the city to support.

Wudu Taishou Deng Tong looked at the distance and said in his heart: There are only twenty days of grain and grass left in the city, and the long-term siege will undoubtedly break the argument. Instead of procrastinating, it's better to give it a go.

Having made up his mind, Deng Tong ordered all the 3,000 soldiers and horses in the city to go out of the city to attack Cao's army and receive reinforcements into the city.

The sky was already dark, Deng Tong divided the 3,000 soldiers and horses into two teams, and first sent people to listen to the surrounding situation to make sure that Cao's army was not approaching.

Deng Tong ordered each of the strong men in the city to take ten fires, light the torches and spread them, open the city gates, and pretend to be soldiers and horses to go out of the city to attract the attention of Cao's army.

3,000 soldiers and horses attacked from another gate. Deng Tong watched the three thousand soldiers and horses go out of the city from the city tower, and just as he was approaching the reinforcements, suddenly a large number of Cao troops suddenly appeared.

Deng Tong sighed: "The elite of the Cao army is all here, there will be an ambush, I am lucky, in the end, I am in the end!" ”

But fortunately, Deng Tong divided the Han army into two teams, resisted separately, and lit torches to signal the supporting soldiers and horses.

Lei Tong was hit by an arrow, the Han army was frustrated, and the torches were lit behind the Cao army, mixed with shouts of killing. Lei Tong felt that he was arguing that the defenders would come to support, and he couldn't delay, he couldn't take care of the wound, and he bandaged it hastily, but fortunately, the wound was not in the critical place.

Lei Tong adjusted the offensive deployment, pushed out several grain trucks that unfortunately caught fire, set fire to several to make up ten, and rushed forward. There were ten grain trucks as cover, and Lei Tong slightly dispersed Cao's army and engaged Cao's army in short combat.

Zhang Fei and Xu Huang fought, Zhang Fei had the upper hand but could not defeat Xu Huang, Xu Huang still blocked Zhang Fei according to the downwind.

However, the Cao army under the command of Xu Huang completely suppressed the Han army, and the Han army began to fight with the Cao army with a single drum, and as it dragged into a protracted war and the Cao army continued to arrive, the Han army was defeated and retreated.

Zhang Fei felt his disadvantage, so he forced Xu Huang away, and returned to the army to command the Han army to retreat and retract, Xu Huang and other Cao generals didn't want to let go, and attacked desperately.

Zhang Fei couldn't help but be anxious when he saw that the casualties were getting bigger and bigger, but fortunately, Deng Tong used torches to disturb the reinforcements of the Wei army.

Seeing the slow progress behind him, Adjutant General Han Jing said to Zhang Fei: "The general will withdraw first, and I will break it later!" ”

Zhang Fei said: "You are not Xu Huang's opponent!" ”

Han Jing said: "I just need to stop Xu Huang, general, hurry up!" Cao army reinforcements are coming! ”

Zhang Fei gritted his teeth and withdrew to join Lei Tong.

Zhang Fei shouted after arriving: "Immediately push the grain cart around and set it on fire, and use the flames to force back the approaching Cao Jun, quick!" ”

The Han army immediately received the order, and a part of the grain wagons that were originally protected in the middle withdrew, and the Han army followed the grain wagons, and Zhang Fei rushed out first, and joined the soldiers and horses.

Zhang Fei looked back and saw that Han Jing was no longer in the chaos. Zhang Fei fought and retreated, and slowly retreated to the city of Xiabian. The surrounding besieged Cao army learned that the defenders had left the city and led the crowd to attack the city.

Fortunately, he was well prepared and was able to resist. Zhang Fei came to the conflict, and slowly retreated into the city with the support of arrows from the city.

As soon as Zhang Fei entered the city, Deng Tong arranged for someone to greet him. Zhang Fei asked, "What about you guys?" ”

The official said: "Cao's army is attacking the city and is resisting!" ”

Zhang Fei shouted: "General Lei, separate support!" Lei Tong agreed, led the troops to the gates, and forced the Cao army to retreat.

Deng Tong came to see Zhang Fei after arranging, and Zhang Fei said: "Deng Taishou has worked hard to keep this city!" ”

Deng Tong said: "Don't dare, where the duty lies!" ”

Zhang Fei said: "It's good, fight for a day, it's time to eat!" ”

Because Cao Pi did not completely annihilate Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei was angry when he stepped on the third battalion, first to blame the generals of the camp, and then to blame Zhu Ling, who was responsible for the deployment. ordered the beheading of more than ten lieutenant generals who were the first to be defeated, and Zhu Ling was also demoted, and he was punished with fifty military sticks.

Unfazed, Cao Pi asked: "What about Cao Zhen, didn't you let him block Liu Bei, what did he eat with so many thousands of soldiers and horses!" ”

Liu Ye, who accompanied the army, opened his mouth and said: "General Cao Zhen can block Liu Bei's main force, but he can't do it seamlessly, surrounded by Yinping mountains, Zhang Fei is afraid that he stole in from the path, and Liu Bei is more familiar with it than we are." ”

Cao Pi snorted, and bowed and ordered everyone to retreat. In the lower defense city, Zhang Fei and Deng Tong checked the city defense and returned to the Taishou Mansion.

Deng Tong told Zhang Fei what he knew about Cao Jun's march into Qishan and the attack on Longyou, and Zhang Fei said: "We probably also know that eight or nine are not far from ten, regardless of them, this is what the eldest brother and Shiyuan should worry about, I only need to help Wudu County, and now half of it is completed." By the way, Cao Pi's 100,000 army couldn't eat the debate, which shows the general's ability. ”

Wudu Taishou said: "It can last until now because Cao Cao has migrated the people before, and the current people in the city are unwilling to flee with Cao Cao, and the people are united."

Second, Cao Pi forcibly relocated the people of Yinping, and everyone was unwilling to leave their homeland. It's all supported by momentum.

Third, if there are fewer people, we will consume less grain and grass, and if there are more people, our grain and grass storage will be insufficient, and it is likely to be lost. Cao Pi also has the intention of using this city to fight our reinforcements!

Cao Pi began to attack the city for more than 20 days and was frustrated, and the surrender was fruitless, so he released a message that if he did not surrender, the city would be destroyed and slaughtered. So I killed the envoy and cut off everyone's retreat.

The city of Xiabiancheng is connected to Longyou, and it is also strong, and the terrain restricts the inability of large siege equipment to go into battle, so I barely hold it. The general didn't know that almost all the people in Wudu and Yinping outside the city had been moved. The migration of the people, of course, also dispersed the Wei army to a certain extent. ”

Zhang Fei said angrily: "Cao Pi Xiao'er is the same as his old son, he can drag the people on anything, he has already forcibly moved the people of Wudu County once, and now he is coming again." I'm going to fight tomorrow, and I have to kill Cao Pi. ”

Deng Tong said: "The general is angry, don't pay attention to him." ”

Zhang Fei was angry, and Lei Tong came to report the loss: "General, we have lost nearly 3,000 soldiers and horses, and the defenders have also lost half of them, and the deputy general Han Jing was killed in battle." Thirty percent of grain and grass were lost. ”

Zhang Fei said sullenly: "I finally entered the city and lived up to the desperate struggle of the soldiers!" ”

After waiting for a while, he reached into his arms and took out something and handed it to Deng Tongdao: "This is a blank appointment letter given by the eldest brother, you fill in the credit with the soldiers who defend the city, and it will take effect directly." ”

Deng Tong was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Zhang Fei said: "Thank you! It's not to reward you, when the eldest brother comes to reward you, thank you again! ”

Deng Tong said: "I thank the soldiers, I can defend the next debate is the soldiers' lives, the people support, what credit do I have, as long as they can get what they deserve, I am willing even if I don't have a reward." ”

Zhang Fei Zhengse said: "My eldest brother sent you to be the Taishou, just to do your best!" ”

Deng Tong returned the salute: "How dare you, how dare you." ”

Cao Jun learned that a part of the Han army rushed to the lower defense through the defense area, and hurriedly plugged the gap.

Liu Bei's army was blocked by Cao Zhen in the dangerous mountain pass, and Liu Bei summoned a guide and asked, "Is there a path to walk here?" ”

The guide replied: "The place in front of you is called Shuanghu Cliff, there is no fork in the road, and further on, there are Jiashan Pass and Feiyue Valley, and there may be after taking it."

However, these places are all flat and precipitous, and the roads are narrow on weekdays, but now they are even more fortified, and even if there are small roads in such places, they cannot be passed by large armies! ”

Liu Bei was unhappy when he heard this. Retire the wizard for a while.

The guide retreated, and Pang Tong said: "Your Majesty, I have already asked, but there are a few roads that can be passed, and I have sent someone to investigate, but it is conceivable that Cao Zhen must have blocked these mountains." ”

Liu Bei said: "Could it be that we are going to be blocked here?" I want Wang Ping to climb over the mountain again and attack from behind. ”

Pang Tong said: "Your Majesty, we have already used this method to capture two mountain passes, and Cao Zhen is afraid that he will be on guard." Liu Bei was sullen.

Pang Tong said: "The king remembers that many Wudu and Yinping Qiangdi tribes were defeated by Cao Zhen and fell into Hanzhong. ”

Liu Bei said: "Yes, there are about six or seven thousand people!" ”

Pang Tong said: "Why don't the king send them to make a detour to attack Yinping, Cao Zhen is attacked on the back road, there will inevitably be some action, we look for its flaws, maybe we can break the deadlock." ”

Liu Bei said helplessly: "That's the only way." "Send an envoy with gold and silver to lure Qiang Di back to Yinping County and attack Cao Zhen's back.

Wang Ping was ordered to lure Qiang, and more than ten days later, he returned to report to Liu Bei to appease Wudu, and Lei Ding, the leader of Yinping Qiangdi, was willing to return to Yinping and gather scattered tribes to respond to the Han army.

Liu Bei was overjoyed, and sent people to step up their efforts to listen to the movements of Longyou and Liangzhou.

A month later, there were many fewer Cao troops on the Double Tiger Cliff. Liu Bei then ordered Wang Ping and Liu Yin to investigate the troops.

The two generals led the troops to arrive at the Wei village of Shuanghu Cliff, feigned to attack, only to see that the Wei soldiers guarding the village resisted a little and then all the birds and beasts scattered, and the two turned virtual into reality, and won the Shuanghu Cliff with a drum.

Liu Bei's report was overjoyed, leading soldiers and horses into the Shuanghu Cliff camp, Liu Bei sighed after entering: "Cao Zhen has some ability, this big camp is very good." ”

Think about it: why give up at such a critical point. At that moment, he had an idea, and ordered the account to be raised, and the generals were called to the account to discuss.

Liu Bei said: "The camp here is a critical mountain pass, Cao Zhen will never give up for no reason to take us lightly, I think it must be a problem in the rear and have to shrink the force to defend."

It seems that Lei Ding and the other seven departments have successfully attacked Cao Zhen. The opportunity must not be lost, while Cao Zhen has not yet solved the rear, I intend to immediately enter the army, defeat Cao Zhen in one fell swoop, and open up the road to the next debate. The generals agreed in unison.

Pang thought for a moment and was about to speak. Wang Ping came out and said: "Your Majesty, the general will have something to say. ”

Liu Bei heard it and said with interest: "You just have to say." ”

Wang Ping thanked him and said: "Your Majesty, it is the last general who went to connect with Lei Ding and others, but according to the last general, Lei Ding has courage and no strategy, and can play a role in restraining the system, but he will not force the Cao army to give up the obstacles set up due to insufficient troops." Besides, Cao Zhen is also a person! How can you be unguarded and vulnerable! ”

Liu Bei said: "Reasonable! It's just how to use the troops now! ”

Pang Tong continued: "Isn't the king ready to take every step of the way, pulling out one by one? ”

Liu Bei said: "Yes, we must recover Yinping as soon as possible, open up the passage for our army to enter Longyou, and force Cao Pi to retreat!" ”

Pang Tong said: "Your Majesty, I have some plans, but I can't fundamentally change the situation of the war!" ”

Liu Bei said: "Let's hear it!" ”

Pang Tong said: "The king can divide his troops into a thousand and try to attack." If Cao's resistance is weak, then 10,000 soldiers and horses will follow up and move forward to take the dangerous place that Cao Zhen deliberately abandoned.

The first 1,000 people to explore the way withdrew as long as they encountered the slightest resistance from Cao's army! Send people to find out if there is an ambush by Cao's army on all sides.

After our army retreated, Cao Zhen must have sent someone to inquire about the situation of our army, and at that time, Wang Shang led the army to pretend to copy a remote path to argue. Cao Zhen must have judged that we wanted to learn from the three generals and find a way to support the defense, and Cao Zhen would definitely send troops to intercept it on the one hand, and report to Cao Pi on the other hand.

We then let Wang Ping lead his troops into the mountains to lay an ambush, pretending to withdraw from the dangerous place we had just occupied. Cao Zhen originally wanted to lure us into the scheme, but if we didn't take the bait, we would definitely think that we were going to concentrate our forces and rush to the next defense, so he would rush to recapture the abandoned mountain pass. ”

Liu Bei said: "The method is acceptable, although it will not win a big victory, it is good to break Cao Zhen for a while!" ”

Liu Bei ordered Zhang Yi to lead his troops as the vanguard to test Cao's army, followed by Wang Ping and Liu Yin. After the Han army took the Jiashan Pass, they successfully took the Jiashan Pass and Feiyue Valley, and advanced to forty miles away from the Yinping Zhishu.

Liu Bei summoned the guide to ask, and learned that if there was any danger here, he could go to the Yinping Place. Liu Bei and Pang discussed it together, thinking that it was almost over, and ordered Zhang Yi to withdraw a thousand soldiers and horses.

Garrisoned in the Flying Valley, waiting for Cao's army to come, looking for an opportunity to retreat. Wang Ping led his troops into the mountains to ambush him, and Liu Bei took Ma Dai and Zong Yu as the vanguard and rushed to the next defense.

Unexpectedly, the pathfinders unexpectedly discovered that a mountain pass leading to Xia Wei was really not garrisoned by Cao Jun. Liu Bei was overjoyed and said: "I thought Cao Zhen was closely guarded, but I didn't expect it to be a leak!" It seems that Lei Ding is not useless at all, and he has more or less divided Cao Zhen's god! Let's pass through here, let out the words, and Cao Zhen will lead his troops to block us! Just break him! ”

Liu Bei ordered the vanguard to pass quickly, and then he was about to enter not long after Ma Dai and Zong Pre passed through the mountain pass, only to hear the roar on both sides of the mountain pass, several boulders were lifted down, and then the people on the mountain threw wood.

Pang Tong exclaimed on the side: "It's not good, Cao Jun is going to cut down trees and block the road and divide our army." This mountain pass is not leaking, it is Cao Zhen who did it on purpose! ”

Liu Bei hurriedly said to the person behind him: "Quick! Mingjin, let Ma Dai and Zong withdraw it! The men hurried forward.

The vanguard Ma Dai and Zong Pre had already encountered the Cao army at this moment, and the Cao army's generals Cao Zhen and Xu Huang and Zhu Ling, who had sent support, rushed over.

Cao Zhen commanded the Cao army to press the Han army, and shouted in the next formation: "Ma Dai, you are not dead yet!" You said that you are an unlucky bastard, you are defeated by Ma Chao and Ma Chao, and you lose with Liu Bei and Liu Bei. If you have the backbone to kill yourself, forget it! ”

Ma Dai was furious, and Zong Yu said on the side: "This is nothing, why should General Ma Dai be angry!" The king has been adrift for 20 years, and finally he still accumulates his current foundation. On the honor, who is worthy of the king of the Han family. ”

Yan Yan shouted to Cao Zhen: "Cao Zhen, will we be fooled by such inferior words to provoke us?" Come, win or lose with knives and guns! ”

Ma Dai calmed down and began to straighten out the soldiers and horses, and the soldiers and horses behind him reported that the road was blocked by boulders and trees, and it took some time to clean up!

Ma Dai said: "Our army has 8,000 people, even the Cao army can't take it when it's dark!" ”

After speaking, he looked around, and slashed and killed Cao Jun on such flat ground, Cao Jun had many soldiers, which was not conducive to defense. The north side has a slightly steep slope and has an advantage from a high position.

Ma Dai shouted: "Seize the defense of Beishan, and the whole army will obey the order!" Formation! Kill! The Han army shouted and killed like Beishan, surprising that the Cao army of Beishan was not guarded, Ma Dai didn't have time to think about it, and ordered to cut off the weeds and dig a trench to defend.

After Cao Jun and the Han army completely ascended the mountain, they formed a tight formation and slowly pressed down.

The sect preface on the mountain suddenly said: "General Ma Dai, do you smell a smell of pine grease?" ”

As soon as Zong's voice fell, his subordinates shouted: "General, there are chopped pine trees under the weeds. ”

Ma Dai shouted badly, waved the spear in his hand, and shouted: "Follow me to the bottom of the mountain." ”

Cao Zhen fired thousands of arrows in the array, and the Han army led by him fell, and Ma Dai's horses were shot and fell to the ground. Cao Zhen shouted: "Ma Dai, look at what this is!" "After saying that, a human head hangs out!

Ma Dai didn't know him very well, and Zong Pre had the impression that "This is Lei Ding, it seems that the Qiang Di who attacked from behind has been annihilated!" ”

Cao Zhen shouted again: "Listen, if you want to live, surrender quickly, otherwise as soon as I set fire, you will all be burned to death!" Don't expect Liu Bei to come to the rescue, he can't catch up! ”

Ma Dai continued to lead the people to rush down, and Zong Yu hurriedly dug up the pine tree on the mountain and threw it down. Cao Zhen shouted several times, but no one listened.

He ordered a fire, but he saw that the fire that had been scattered was spreading, and then the fire caught fire, and finally the whole mountain burned. Zong Yu hurried to Ma Dai's side and pulled him to the side of the hill.

Ma Dai was reluctant to give up the soldiers and horses, and Zong pretended: "I will also explain to you when it's late, withdraw quickly, and go back to report to the king." ”

After losing command, half of the Han army was burned to death, and the rest surrendered! Zong Yu and Ma Dai ran fast, and Cao Zhen didn't have time to pay attention in the chaos.

Cao Zhen and Xu Huang rendezvous, and Xu Huang praised: "Zidan's clever plan! Liu Bei thought that we were setting up an ambush in Yinping to lure him. He would never have imagined that he was actually ambushed on the way down! ”

Cao Zhen said: "How dare you, Lei Ding seeks peace, and Yin is peaceful." Now this battle has severely defeated Liu Bei's main vanguard, Liu Bei will not dare to approach for a while, and Longyou will be completely cut off from Han! The situation is very favorable for us! ”

Xu Huang also approved. Cao Bing from the top shouted: "General, Liu Bei has withdrawn!" ”

Cao Zhen responded and said to Xu Huang: "Gongming will go back to report to the king, I rush back and urgently need to guard against Liu Bei's plot to calm down!" Xu Huang agreed and didn't mention the breakup.
