Chapter 402: Clever Strategy
[Yan Zhong received the order, and then summoned Shi Lian, Li Tong, and Cheng Pu, as well as 3,000 soldiers and horses from the headquarters, and went straight to Zhu Jun. 】
[When the thieves were based on Wancheng, they led troops to attack it, and there were many offenses and defenses, and they were not victorious or defeated. 】
[The thief leader Zhao Hong sent his general Han Zhong to fight and wanted to attack the food of the Han army. Stealing his plan, he secretly ordered his troops and horses to ambush him, and won a great victory, so Zhao Hong closed his door and only waited for reinforcements. 】
[When Yanzhong led the army, Zhu Jun had already trapped the enemy for ten months, and there was still nothing to do. 】
[One day, Zhu Jun led the army to attack the city as usual, and he ordered Yanzhong, Shi Lian, Li Tong, and Cheng Pu to attack the southwest of the city, and Han Zhong led the elite people to the southwest corner to resist the enemy. 】
[Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhu Jun rode 2,000 from the longitudinal iron and took the northeast corner. The thieves were afraid of losing the city, so they abandoned the southwest and returned. 】
[Yan Zhong covered up from behind, the thieves were defeated, and they rushed into Wancheng. 】
[Later, the Han army was besieged for a long time, and Han Zhongnai made people go out of the city and surrender, but they were not allowed. 】
[Yan Zhongqi said: "In the past, Gaozu won the world, and Gai was able to recruit Nashun, why did the public refuse Han Zhongye?" 】
[Zhu Jun said: "At that time, at this time. On the occasion of the former Qin and Xiang, the world was in turmoil, and the people had no fixed master, so they surrendered and rewarded them to persuade them. Now the sea is unified, but the Yellow Turban rebels, if they are allowed to surrender, there is no way to persuade good. Let the thieves plunder at will, and if they lose, they will surrender. This long-term ambition is not a good strategy. ”】
[Yan Zhong shook his head and said: "It is not allowed to surrender. Now it is surrounded on all sides like an iron bucket, and the thief cannot surrender, and he will fight to the death. Ten thousand people are united, but there are tens of thousands of dead people in the city? It is better to withdraw to the southeast and attack the northwest alone. The thief will abandon the city and go away, and he has no intention of fighting, but he will be captured immediately. ”】
[Naturally, with the withdrawal of the southeast and two military horses, together with the attack on the northwest. 】
[Han Zhongguo led the army to abandon the city and run. 】
[Zhu Jun then led the three armies with Yanzhong, Shi Lian, Li Tong, and Cheng Pu to cover up the killing. Yan Zhong opened his bow and shot Han Zhong to death, and the rest of the thieves were defeated. The army took advantage of the victory to chase and kill, and while they were chasing, Zhao Hong and Sun Zhong led the thieves to fight with Jun. The two armies were close to the enemy, and when it was not long, Shi Lian beheaded Zhao Hong, Li Tong stabbed Sun Zhong, and the thieves saw this, and were about to flee, but they were unprepared, and another group of men and horses arrived in the east. 】
[As the first general, he is a hero, born with a wide forehead and a wide face, a tiger body and a bear waist, a native of Fuchun in Wu County, surnamed Sun Mingjian, and the word Wentai, after Sun Wuzi. 】
[When he was seventeen years old, he went to Qiantang with his father and saw more than ten pirates, robbed the merchants' property, and shared the spoils on the shore. insisted that his father said: "This thief can be caught." Then he struggled to carry his sword ashore, and shouted loudly, commanding things and things, as if calling people. The thieves thought that the officers and soldiers were coming, so they abandoned their belongings and ran away. Catch up and kill a thief. It is well-known by the county and recommended as a school captain. 】
[Later, the demon thief Xuchang rebelled, proclaimed himself "Emperor Yangming", and gathered tens of thousands. Jian and the county Sima recruited more than 1,000 warriors, met with the county of Hezhou, and beheaded Xuchang and his son Xu Shao. Assassin Shi Zang Min played his merits, in addition to the strong for the salt blasphemy, and in addition to Xuyi Cheng and Xia Picheng. Today, seeing the Yellow Turbans rising, gathering the young people in the township and the merchants, and more than 1,500 elite soldiers from Huaisi, came to respond. 】
[Zhu Junzi Gongwei, Huiji Shangyu people, and Sun Jian were originally fellow villagers, this time seeing Sun Jian coming, he was overjoyed, so he ordered Jian and Yanzhong to meet and work together to conquer the remnants of the Yellow Turban. 】
[The two generals were ordered to leave. 】
[The next day, the army lined up and besieged the remnants of the Yellow Turbans. That Sun Jian took the lead, killing more than 20 thieves with his hands, and the thieves rushed away, and then there was a flying horse bursting into the thief army, flying back and forth to kill the thief. The thief army panicked and collapsed. Zhu Junnai led the army to cover up and kill, beheading tens of thousands of people, and the surrender was invincible. More than a dozen counties along the road to Nanyang are flat. 】
[Jun Banshi returned to Beijing and was awarded the title of General of the Che Cavalry, Henan Yin. He played Sun Jian, Wang Ke and other merits. Jian also has favors, except for Sima from other counties, Wang Ke was crowned Hu Cavalry Captain, with 5,000 soldiers, stationed in Hejian China. 】
[Seeing such a will, Yan Zhong was quite puzzled, so he asked Zhu Jun and said: "Gong Wei Gong, the edict of the Son of Heaven to take Ke as the captain of the Hu cavalry, this Hu cavalry captain, in charge of the Hu cavalry in the land of Chiyang, could it be that the Son of Heaven wants to make Ke lead the Hu cavalry of Chiyang?" 】
[Jun smiled and said: "Yan Zhong's words are wrong...... That Chiyang has gone through wars, and there are no Hu people living in it, and now in the land of the river and Hanoi, Hu Er is rampant, and the meaning of the Son of Heaven is to make Yanzhong rule this Hu Qiye! ”】
[When Yan Zhong heard this, he finally understood. After a few more days, the armies were rested. Zhu Jun went to Luoyang, and Yan Zhong led the army to the country of Hejian. 】
[Let's say that the Hejian Kingdom, when Emperor Wen of the Western Han Dynasty was first placed, Liu Pijiang, the younger brother of Zhao Wangsui, was named the King of Hejian, and the Hejian County of Zhao was divided into Hejian Kingdom. 】
[However, in the fifteenth year of Emperor Wen, Liu Pijiang had no heirs, and the country between the rivers was divided into counties. When Emperor Hou Jing was in power, the prince Liu De was named the king of Hejian and restored the Hejian Kingdom. 】
[Until Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, the country between the rivers was extinct, and when the glory and martial arts were prosperous, they had to be reestablished. 】
[At that time, the king of Hejian was the son of Hejian An Wangli, who had been on the throne for four years, and had no achievements, so that domestic thieves swarmed, Hu Lu was rampant, and the people of Li were miserable, and many tragic things were too numerous to mention. 】
[Besides, Yan Zhong led the army. Just after crossing the border between the rivers, Fang An's camp was completed, Yan Zhong sat firmly in the tent, looked through the book of soldiers, and after a while, the soldiers outside the door reported: "Someone outside the door asks to see!" Yan Zhong asked who it was, but the soldier said he didn't know. Seeing this, Yan Zhong was very surprised, so he ordered him to be summoned. 】
[After a while, the pro-soldiers brought in one person. Yan Zhong saw this person's face in the light. But I saw that his body was eight feet three inches long, with a beautiful beard, a majestic spirit, and an extraordinary appearance. Seeing this, Yan Zhong got up and asked, "Who is the gentleman?" The man replied: "I am Cheng Yuye!" Hearing this, Yan Zhong was surprised and said, "Could it be Cheng Zhongde of Dongjun?" Cheng Yu smiled and said, "Yes!" 】
[It turns out that Cheng Yu's character is Zhongde, and he is also from Dong'a in Dongjun. He has been familiar with poetry and books since he was a child, and he is quite strategic. When the Yellow Turban was in turmoil, the county prince rebelled and responded to the thieves, burned the warehouse, plundered the people, and the county ordered to go over the city, and ran to the ditch and the mountain from the old and young to hide. 】
[Cheng Yu heard that the Yin envoy was able to detect the traces of the thief, and saw that Wang Du was waiting for the empty city and could not defend it, so he went out of the city for five or six miles to stop the tun. 】
[Cheng Yu is a big family in the city, Xue said: "Today, the city can't live, and its potential can be known. This is just a desire to capture and plunder property, and it is not the will of strong armor and sharp soldiers to attack and defend. Why don't you return to the city and defend it now? And the city is high and thick, with a lot of grain and rice, if you still ask for orders and hold on to it, it will not last long, and it can be broken. ”】
[Xue thought so deeply and told the people. However, the people feared that thieves were rampant and refused to obey, saying: "The thieves are in the west, but there are east ears." Yu said Xue and others: "Foolish people can't do anything." ”】
[Subsequently, Nai secretly sent a number of horsemen to raise flags on the east mountain, and the house and others saw it, shouting that "the thief has arrived", and then went down the mountain to Qucheng, and the officials ran to follow, seeking the county order, and then defending the city. 】
[Soon, Wang Du and others came to attack the city, but they couldn't go down, and they wanted to go. Yu led the people to open the city gate and attack it urgently, and the degree was broken. Dong'a was thus complete. 】
[Since then, Cheng Yu's reputation has grown. 】
[Later, Liu Daimu, the assassin of Yanzhou, refuted it, Yu should not, so he left Sangzi, traveled all over the world, and disappeared. Until now, Fang Zhi has reached the country of Hejian. 】
