Zuogu Liwang Che said: "The Han people are the best at building cities, we lack siege equipment, and there is an urn city in Pingyang, they obviously want to contain us, waiting for Liu Qi to send reinforcements." I thought that we should fight a quick battle, first divide the troops to the south, and test the reality, if we can break through Pingyang, the army will be much faster. ”

Che Ju is also a shaman master, is the wisdom of the Huns, Hu Chuquan heard the words and pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, let the king of Sarenge go to Jiangyi, if we can occupy the important land along the Fenshui, we can take the east of the river as easily." ”

Sarenge was overjoyed, hugged his fists and said: "Shan Yu, please rest assured, this king will greet you brothers in Fenhe Bay." ”

Hu Chuquan sent an order to the other two kings, and rushed to build a cloud ladder overnight, and from tomorrow, the soldiers and horses of each tribe were divided into ten teams, alternately attacking the city, and at all costs, Pingyang was captured within three days.

On the second day, the Hun soldiers formed a phalanx, Hu Chuquan led the troops to watch the north and south gates, and the defenders took the opportunity to sneak attack, although the two city gates were small, but if the cavalry rushed out to sneak attack, it should not be underestimated.

The west gate was commanded by Che Ju, the king of Zuogu Li, who formed archers with cavalry to suppress the defenders, and the soldiers carried iron pickaxes and other equipment to destroy the newly built urn city outside first, and then attack the city gate.

The drums of Pingyang Village shook the sky, the sound of the horn echoed on both sides of the Fenshui, the ground had already been cleaned up, the trees were sparse, a desolate color, the bows and arrows of the Han army were limited after all, and they did not dare to use them in large quantities.

Tanma reported that the Huns had divided their troops to the south, and Biqiu Xing said worriedly: "The thief army really divided the troops, you and I are in the city, how should this be good?" ”

Hao Zhao said with a smile: "Mr. Xu only needs to guard Pingyang for half a month, I expect that he has already prepared, and there are still 20,000 defenders in Hedong, so there is no need to worry." ”

Biqiu Xing had long heard of the name of Xu Shu, Liu Qi rose to Nanyang, it was with this person as a strategist, plus Cao Cao to protect the east of the river, leaving 50,000 soldiers and horses, persuading more than 40,000 to surrender, and the rest returned to their hometowns, and still had the power to protect themselves.

When the two armies were attacking and defending, the king of Rizhu, Sarenge, led his headquarters of 5,000 men and horses to the south of the river, to the territory of Jiangyi, which is where Fenshui turns from north to west, and a city is built on the river bay across the water, and there is only a stone bridge for passage.

Seeing that the defenders on the bridge were already prepared, Sarenge was in no hurry to march in, so he set up camp on the north bank and ordered all battalions to patrol carefully to prevent a sneak attack by the enemy.

The general was puzzled: "The king invited the order to attack Jiangyi, why did he not move his troops here?" ”

"You know what?" Sarenge smirked: "Is the city of the Han army so easy to attack?" Without rushing cars and ladders, would we not be able to hit them with horses' heads? The siege of the city will definitely lose troops and generals, I will take you south, but I don't want my people to die in vain. ”

The general frowned and said: "But the king does not send troops, and when Da Dan Yu learns the news, I am afraid that he will punish the king." ”

Sarenge laughed and said: "This king has his own clever plan, you just have to go to the bridge to call for battle, you don't have to rush to kill, how do they deal with it." ”

The generals led the troops and led the troops to the bridgehead to fight, but the defenders on the other side ignored them, only defended them with bows and arrows, and returned after half an hour without success.

Sarenge didn't care, but only told the soldiers to patrol carefully, and sent men and horses to hunt around, to see if they could find the villages that had not been evacuated, and to grab some food and clothing by the way, the weather was getting colder and colder, and it was no longer easy to camp in the wild.

In the city of Jiangyi, Xu Shu waited for news in the government office early, and there was a young man with red lips and white teeth sitting next to him, who was Zhou Budo, who had just completed the crown ceremony and came to the army for training.

While they were discussing, they saw a stout round-faced young man break in, and hummed: "Strategist, this time you are wrong, those Hun soldiers did not dare to cross the bridge at all, and only shouted on the opposite side. ”

I saw that his skin was dark and shiny, his eyes were round and round, he was young, but he was seven feet tall, standing in the lobby like an iron tower, it was Zhang Fei's son Zhang Bao.

Zhou Budo shook his head and smiled: "Bolin, this is in the army, you should tell you first when you enter the door, and you can't be reckless in case of trouble." ”

"Hehe...... Zhang Bao scratched his head and said with a dry smile: "I was in a hurry to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, and I forgot the rules." ”

Zhou Budo raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Military law is like a mountain, and if you mess with the rules, you should be punished!" ”

Zhang Bao suddenly glared: "Is your kid's skin itchy?" The military advisor has not yet spoken, but you have given the order first, and it is also a violation of the rules, and you will be punished together. ”

Xu Shu hurriedly stopped the two of them, and said with a smile: "Mr. Shuijing really knows people, and named the two of you Water and Fire Qilin, which is really incompatible!" ”

Originally, Liu Qi built Xiangyang College in Jingzhou, recruited the children of various officials and young talents in the county to learn literature and martial arts, and advocated teaching students according to their aptitude, not only Confucian scriptures, but also medicine, arithmetic, engineering, etc., and the first batch of students had more than 800 people.

Among them, Zhou Budo, Deng Ai, Liu Cong, and Dong Yun are quick thinkers, first famous in the college, and later famous in the state and county.

Sima Hui saw that the four of them were dragons and phoenixes among the people, and praised the outstanding people of Xiangyang, praising them as "Xiangyang Four Qilin", with the talent of Anbang and rejuvenating the country, and they could chase after the dragon and phoenix.

Zhou Budo is intelligent, proficient in the art of war, thinking like the wind, called the wind unicorn, Liu Cong is elegant, especially proficient in the "Five Classics and Verses" left by Liu Biao, such as the sea is inclusive, called the water unicorn, Deng Ai Wenwu Shuangquan, outstanding martial arts, called the golden unicorn, Dong Yun is modest and modest, pure by nature, called the earth unicorn.

The four of them got the nickname and became famous for a while, which caused countless young people to challenge, but the result was all willing to bow down, only Zhang Fei's son Zhang Bao, and Deng Ai competed, and the two were on par with each other's martial arts, and they fought for three days without winning or losing.

Yi was helpless, so he had to ask Mr. Shui Jing to make peace, Sima Hui saw that his nature was as fierce as fire, and named the fire unicorn, so he shook hands and dismissed the troops, and since then they have been collectively called "four unicorns and one unicorn", which has been passed down as a beautiful talk for a while.

On the day of the crown ceremony, Zhang Bao simply did not use the "rejuvenation" taken by Zhang Feixin in his letter, and took the word Bolin, so angry that Zhang Fei almost rushed back to Xiangyang from Yuzhou to clean up this kid.

Now that the Central Plains is pacified, Liu Qi asked the four of them to go to the post to practice, and selected Xun Yu as a teacher for Liu Cong, Zhou Budo and Deng Ai each followed their father-in-law, Zhang Bao did not dare to go to the Central Plains, and also came to Hedong with Zhou Budo, preparing to practice with the Huns first.

A few days ago, the two rushed to Hedong and went north with Xu Shu, thinking that they were going to kill the enemy in front of the battle, but Xu Shu stopped in Jiangyi, only saying that the Huns would come to attack and set a plan to lure troops.

Waiting for the Huns to attack, lure it across the stone bridge, Zhang Bao ambushed behind the bridge to rob and kill, who knew that the other party did not move, Zhang Baobai waited for an afternoon, the first battle did not start, and his heart was naturally anxious.

Zhang Bao couldn't care about arguing with Zhou Budo, and hugged his fists and said: "Military advisor, the Huns refuse to cross the bridge, it's better for me to kill him and kill him." ”

Xu Shu smiled lightly: "The little general is a little restless, I heard that the five Huns are not working together, they don't come to fight, they must be self-preservation, I expect that they have another trick, just plan it." ”
