28 Ming repair plank road, dark Chen Cang
However, he said that Han Xin had all the men and horses, and asked the king of Han to set off on the eastern crusade on a certain day. The soldiers looked at each other and said: "The plank road has not been completed, how can the marshal go east?" But from which way? Everyone didn't know where they came from, and they didn't dare to ask, so they came to play the king of Han, and the king of Han sent someone to summon Xiao He and asked: "Marshal Han asked me to drive the east this morning." Fan Xianxian's repair of the plank road is not finished, but from which way to march the army? Qing can go to Han Xin's office and ask to solve my doubts. Xiao He went to Han Xin's house that night. At this time, Han Xin was checking the documents of the troops from all walks of life under the lamp, and he had not yet rested, when he saw Xiao He knocking on the door, Han Xin hurriedly dressed up and went out to greet him, and sat down as a guest. Xiao He said in his ear: "This morning, the marshal asked the king of Han to drive the east, and the king of Han suspected that the army was marching from where to go, so he sent Xiao He to ask for clarity and beg for strategy. Han Xin said: "The prime minister used to say goodbye to the ovary and burned the plank road, and he must know this way, so why should the prime minister ask?" Xiao He said: "Although I knew that there was a way at that time, I didn't hear about it. I also saw that the general sent Fan Hao to repair the plank road, so as to arouse suspicion. Han Xin said: "This is the Ming plank road, so that Zhang Han is not prepared, but I set out from the Chencang road, not five days to the pass, the prime minister will be fortunate to play this back to the Han King, do not need to worry." Xiao He was very happy when he heard this, and he hurriedly came to know the King of Han. King Han did not sleep at this time, and he was very happy to listen to Xiao He's performance.
The next day, the king of Han ordered the three armies to set off, and Xiao He led his hundreds of officials to send them out of Hanzhong, and the villagers and ordinary people looked at the dust. The king of Han hid his face with the sleeves of his robe and wept, and the monarchs and ministers were reluctant to give up. Xiao He sent the king of Han to resign from Hanzhong, and led the hundreds of officials and elders to appease the local government and urge food and wages. King Han drove calmly to the east.
On this day, Han Xin went to the military field to order the army, and first summoned the pioneer Fan Hao to the tent and said: "The general has given the post of pioneer, and now the king of the Han Dynasty is driving a personal expedition, and the plank road is burned by Zhang Liang, how can the three armies live?" The public can receive 10,000 husbands, rebuild the defects, and then rectify the danger. Zhou Bo, Marquis of Jiang, and Chai Wu of Thorn Pu supervised together, and they were punished by military law in violation of the schedule. Fan Xu said: "Marshal's military order, how dare you not rush to repair?" But the plank road is very dangerous, and the burning place is connected for more than 300 miles, how can it be repaired in a month? If the marshal wants to kill him, he will say it clearly, and the marshal will be executed, and he will never dare to take this life. Han Xin said: "You can't take refuge in the emergency, and the evacuees are disloyal." The general was loyal and capable, and he was able to do this miraculous feat, so that the three armies could go to the east to conquer the east. ”
Fan Xu had no choice but to lead 10,000 men to repair the plank road, which was completed within a month. I saw that the mountain roads were rugged and connected with Yunhan, and the bridges were burned and the trees were thick, and the three armies had no place to stand, and it was very difficult for men and women to move. Fan Hao thought to himself: "This is because Han Xin can't attack Chu, but he puts this relationship on me, but he delays the date and refuses to raise troops, it must be what he means." Then with Zhou Bo and Chai Wudeng, they looked at Guyun Mountain, and saw that the plank road was very steep, and the two looked at the plank road, and looked at each other and said: "It is so steep, although 100,000 strong men can't finish it in a year." Fan Hao said: "He now has a very strict military order, and the Lord is very favored, if we think it is difficult, it is to disobey the military order, and we must repair it according to him." It's hateful that Zhang Zifang burned very easily, and now it is very difficult to repair! "The soldiers planted trees at the high cliffs, built bridges at the peaks, exhausted and exhausted, complained about Zhang Liang and frightened Han Xin, and the soldiers were sad, and were mostly injured and damaged.
Fan Hao was depressed, only to see the doctor Lu Jiayun a wooden sign flying over, which wrote: "From now on, the soldiers will go eastward, Fan Hao will quickly supervise and urge the husband, and complete the plank road on schedule; If the limit is not completed, it must be done in accordance with military law. Fan Xu looked at it and complained bitterly, so he said: "The plank road project is huge, how to repair it?" Dare to say a word to me. Seeing that no one was around, Lu Jia whispered to Fan Xu: "The marshal has a secret order, so and so and so and so on. Fan Xu was very happy when he heard this, and when he went outside, he threatened: "How can such a project be completed in a month?" I can't even do it in a year! Thousands of complaints, thousands of complaints, but Lu Jia ordered in public: "The vanguard must not be violated, the marshal's military law is very strict, and it must be obeyed, don't make a mistake!" ”
Fan Xu invited Zhou Bo and Chai Wu to the account to discuss the matter, and then whispered in his ear, and the two generals listened to the order to go out of the village overnight, climb the mountain and cross the plank road.
However, he said that Han Xin urged the people and horses, and when he arrived at Taibai Ridge, he instructed Lu Juan and said: "I used to meet a strong man under Taibai Ridge, surnamed Xin Mingqi, who was the most righteous, and left me for a night and worshiped as a brother." His family sells wine for a living, and you can visit him well, and I want to pay a visit to repay the love I met in the past. Lu Juan was ordered to visit, and reported at a moment's notice: "There is a strong man on the side of the mountain, and one by one big insects come around the mountain, and all the soldiers surround them together, so they can't pass." Han Xin rode his horse closer, and saw that the strong man was wearing a tiger skin and knocking his head, wearing a black panther skin skirt, and holding a three-strand steel fork. All the sergeants approached and shot and killed. When Han Xin looked at the strong man, it was Kimchi, the old man under the Taibai Ridge. When Kimchi saw Han Xin, he hurriedly came and bowed to the ground. Han Xin hurriedly dismounted and helped him up. Kimchi said: "The little brother heard that the marshal was repairing the plank road, and only the people and horses came out of the plank road, and he didn't want the marshal to raise troops here, and he was very relieved." Han Xin said: "Since I have been saying goodbye to my brother for a long time, I have not been asked because I am busy with state affairs. When I went to Taibailing today, I didn't want to meet a virtuous brother, which was very lucky! That is, he sent the rear army to lead the horses, and Kimchi mounted his horse together, and asked, "Where did the virtuous brother move?" and they met their mother. Kimchi said: "Turning the mountain mouth and high cliff is the cold dwelling. Han Xin then went to Kimchi's house with a dozen relatives. Kimchi invited his mother and wife to come out to meet him, and Han Xin had a hundred taels of gold to serve his mother, and Han Xin said: "This is all given by the King of Han, and the virtuous brother is the capital of the adoptive mother, and the virtuous brother can establish a meritorious name with me, in order to show his relatives and fame, isn't it beautiful!" "Kimchi took it. Han Xin said: "Your mother is my mother, and the virtuous brother is far away, how can you let the old mother live alone in the mountains?" He instructed his parents to send Kimchi's mother and wife to live in Hanzhong. Kimchi said goodbye to his mother, instructed his wife to serve with her heart, and set off with Han Xin.
Han Xin will cross the cold stream, and still set off slowly. to the three forks in the road, but people are looking for the woodcutter. The sergeant reported that the road was covered with a pile of earth under the recess of the mountain, and he wanted to bury the woodcutter. Han Xin ordered the villagers to break the wood for the coffin, change the clothes, rebury the woodcutter in the Sancha pine forest, build the tomb with stones, set up a stone pillar, and engrave "On August 7, the first year of the Han Dynasty, Han Xin, the generalissimo of Chu, set up the position for the righteous woodcutter." "The herald ordered a priest to hold a sacrifice, and Han Xin personally led the generals to sacrifice in the grave and perform three memorial ceremonies.
Not to mention that Han Xin's people are advancing, and it is said that the keeper of the Dasan Pass is the deputy general Zhang Ping, who knows that the king of Han sent Fan Hao to repair the plank road, Xingbing Dongzheng, and Fan Yafu has been tired of a few days ago, and Zhang Ping is careful to guard the Sanguan, but there is news that cannot be moved lightly, Gu Xian reported that Sanqin had made preparations early. Today, I heard that Fan Hao was repairing the plank road, and I heard that Han Xin was a general, and he urgently sent someone to declare King Yong. Zhang Han heard the great joy, and said left and right: "Han Xin is helpless in Chu, abandoning Chu and returning to Han is not a reserve, and the king of Han is ignorant and worships as a general." Besides, Han Xin has no hope, once he becomes a general, the people's hearts are resolutely unconvinced, how can the three armies be deployed? Why do soldiers use their lives? It's like a plank road that burns out for hundreds of miles, how to finish it in one moment? Such marches are only a matter of prolonging the years, and they are only pleasing to the ear! Left and right said: "Fan Yafu has repeatedly sent letters, and the king is strictly guarded, and he is afraid that the Han soldiers will enter the army." Today, Zhang Ping came to report that it was urgent, and the king must be prepared with men and horses, and then send a general to cooperate with Zhang Ping to guard it, so that he will not be wrecked. Zhang Han said: "The plank road project is very large, and the people and horses are in a hurry to get involved. This letter is not a long way off, and I am afraid it is not true. Then he accepted the document and sent the messenger, and said: "I'll report it when it's true." Zhang Han was as calm as before, and did not prepare. sent someone to report to Zhang Ping, saying that King Yong refused to listen to him, and he would report it when he had it. Zhang Ping did not prepare for this.
I saw that the sergeant guarding the pass suddenly reported: "Today, there are 100 men and women of the Han family who repair the plank road, and they have fled and surrendered because of suffering. Zhang Ping was overjoyed and said: "I was about to ask him where he came from, hurry him up!" "After a short time, the guards led a hundred men to the door to surrender. Zhang Ping said: "Where are you waiting? Why did he flee, I am afraid it is a deception. Kill your ears! Everyone cried: "We are the citizens of Pu'an County, and the king of Han borrowed it to build the plank road." There is no supply all day long. Fan Hao is an impatient person, and he is forced to work day by day. The plank road is steep and steep, and it can be completed in one month, even if it cannot be completed in one or two years! The king of Han worshiped Han Xin as a general, and said that he would raise the army, but there was no movement, and he was not expected to succeed! All the sergeants are not convinced, and they have fled a lot recently, all of us are people's husbands, and the two heads in the middle are all good martial arts, and they are willing to join the general's command and take me to have a full meal, how can I have any other heart? Zhang Ping called the two people who were the head and asked, "What are the names of the two of you?" The two replied: "The two of us were originally from the Orion family of Pu'an County, one is Zhou Bo and the other is Chai Wu. Because the king of Han borrowed the people's husband, there was no one to escort him in this county, so he took me as the chief of the two to lead the people. I didn't want this plank road project to be huge, and there was no rations, so I couldn't beat it all day long, and I didn't dare to go back to Pu'an County, so I took everyone to flee to the general's command, and I was willing to guard the shop and ask for some rations to prolong my life, and go home in peacetime. "Tears rained down. Zhang Ping saw that he was pitiful, so he left the two of them to listen. The two of them were cautious and cautious in everything, and they were in harmony with the upper and lower levels, and the people who closed them all respected him, so that they would not leave Zhang Ping an inch. In the middle of the day, Zhang Ping worshiped the two of them as big banner officials, and discussed with the two of them about all matters big and small, and the two of them answered one by one.
Unexpectedly, on this day, a patrol came to report: "Han soldiers are coming everywhere, and the pioneer Fan Hao is now leading 50,000 horses to kill in front of the pass." Zhang Ping exclaimed: "The plank road is not finished, where do the people come from?" Before he could say anything, someone came to report: "Fan Hao is in a hurry to attack at the pass." Zhang Ping sent people to fly to report Zhang Han, and at the same time led 3,000 men and horses to fight against Fan Xu. Fan Hao said: "Zhang Han lured Qin to surrender 200,000 soldiers, and was pitted by Xiang Yu, but he was rich and noble by the king. Today's heavenly soldiers are coming, and they won't be killed early! Zhang Ping said: "The king of Han was knighted by the overlord, and he was restless and served, but he acted in vain and died quickly!" Fan Hao was furious, raised his halberd to take Zhang Ping, Zhang Ping came with a gun, the two generals fought twenty times, Zhang Ping was defeated by the enemy. Kimchi urged the rear army to cover up the killing, and Zhang Ping fled to the pass. Fan Hao and Kimchi collected their troops and returned to the camp, and Zhang Ping closed them tightly.
The Marshal arrived, and Fan Hao and Kimchi left the camp. Han Xin rode forward and shouted, "The master of the gate will come up to answer!" Zhang Ping, Zhou Bo, and Chai Wu all came to the gate, and Han Xin Yaowu raised his whip and said: "The overlord has no way to break the covenant and stand on his own, and let go of the righteous emperor to cut his teeth." Now the king of the Han Dynasty is in charge of the army, you should surrender with your hands tied, dare to say a word, and teach you to see bloodshed! Zhang Ping said: "I am a nobleman of King Yong, how can I surrender to your crotch!" Without saying a word, I saw Zhou Bo and Chai Wu come forward, grabbed Zhang Ping's head and tied him immediately, and said to the sergeant Guanshang: "The king of Han has the heart of the world, and you are in a hurry to surrender to avoid being killed. When the sergeants saw that Zhang Ping was arrested, and saw the Han soldiers under the Guan, they all bowed to the ground and said: "We are willing to surrender." Zhou Bo and Chai Wu immediately switched and asked Han Xin to come up. This is the Ming Xiu plank road, and the darkness is Chencang.
Han Xin went to the gate to appease the soldiers, but took Zhang Ping to the account and said: "You are the surname of the Zhang Han clan, and you should be beheaded if you resist the heavenly soldiers." Let's cut off your ear first and go to the newspaper." After speaking, he asked the sergeant to cut off Zhang Ping's right ear.
Han Xin then ordered Xiahou Ying to be the vanguard, Kimchi to be the deputy vanguard, and the two led the troops to kill the ruinous hills.
