The poem says:

One yin and one yang is the Tao, and martial arts are needed to help literature and affairs.

The tiger roars and the beast is afraid, and the eagle strikes the bird's finch in the forest.

Thousands of clever plans must be done, who is the name of the ancient heroes?

It is useless to talk about nothing, and five hundred heroes are at will.

It is said that Song Yi, Xu Wenhu, and Zhang Meng, the three brothers, kept the three carriages, and marched to the junction of Niujiao County and Huoshan County, Ping'an Prefecture.

"You dare to smuggle military funds and fund the thief Li Shijian, and you don't want to die quickly!"

It turned out that Jing Sutuo's wife and brother heard the report of the defeat of his subordinates, so he personally led the 3,000 troops and made a detour to the front of the three families.

As soon as the three brothers saw this situation, they knew that a vicious battle was inevitable, and they didn't say much, Xu Wenhu protected the three vehicles, protected the three families, and followed behind Song and Zhang, while Song Yi and Zhang Meng rushed forward.

Over there, three thousand horses swarmed up. This is the fierce general.

Jing Sutuo's wife and brother only said that the three hundred soldiers couldn't catch him three before, and the three thousand people should always be able to catch him this time, right? How did he know that among these three people, two of them were famous figures in the world's martial arts examination!

But seeing that Song Yi's iron spear was like a giant dragon stirring the sea, and Zhang Meng's golden hammer was like a landslide and a stone crack, although Xu Wenhu's martial arts were not as good as these two, but a spear was also bloody, and the move was fatal.

Suddenly, war drums sounded again! It turned out to be Huoshan County, and An Gongziming, the general of the Taiping Army, led 1,000 men to patrol the border.

An Ming thought: The enemy's enemy is a friend, and besides, the three fierce generals in the battle array are like tigers out of the mountains!

Now all parties are recruiting talents, and my Taiping Khan Emperor has already ordered to recruit talents, if I can recruit his three generals, I am afraid that the Khan Emperor will also remember me!

So, Gongzi An ordered his subordinates to beat the war drums and rushed over with shouts!

As soon as Jing Sutuo's wife and brother saw that it was difficult to defeat the three generals, and the enemy soldiers from Nahuoshan County had arrived, they immediately ordered them to retreat! However, the east wind was powerless, and it was easy to come and difficult to go!

When Xu Wenhu saw that the enemy was about to run, he opened his bow and set up an arrow, and shot him in the back of his heart, only to hear a miserable scream, Jing Xutuo's child will have no uncle from now on!

Not to mention that the defeated soldiers in Niujiao County fled back, so they naturally reported to Jing Sutuo. Now here, An Gongzi Ming came to the front, and immediately saluted the three generals: "Dare to ask the names of the three strong men?"

Xu Wenhu said: "This general, I am Xu Wenhu, senior brother of Li Shijian. ”

When An Gongzi Ming heard this, he hurriedly saluted: "It turned out to be the senior brother of my lord Khan! The last general, An Gongzi Ming, was ordered to patrol this Huoshan County, but he didn't want to, but he was very lucky and met General Xu!"

At that time, An Gongziming and Song Yi and Zhang Meng greeted each other, welcomed the three generals and the three families into Huoshan County, and sent someone to expedite the express report to Li Shijian in Ping'an Prefecture.

It turned out that Li Shijian left his younger brothers Li Shijun, Tian Mengchang, Xu Xing and others to guard Shunyi Prefecture in order to prepare for the attack and defense of Yang Qingcai, but he came to Ping'an Prefecture and began to prepare for the westward march to conquer Zhongzhou Huangfu Junyou.

At that time, Li Shijian heard that his senior brother Xu Wenhu and his righteous brother Song Yi and Zhang Meng had arrived, and he was very happy.

Li Shijian talks to everyone, not as a lonely person, but as a commensurate person with you and me, and is very approachable.

Zhang Meng said: "Why is the Emperor Khan so humble?"

Li Shijian said with a smile: "The world is the world of the people of the world, and my Taiping Khanate is not the Khanate of my Li Shijian alone, but shared with everyone." Although I am the Khan Emperor, but in detail, I am actually just a general person in charge-

In my opinion, the civil and military generals of our Taiping Khanate all have functions, that is, ordinary people, and they also have their due duties—although the ministries are big and small, they are all members of the Taiping Khanate. Why should I think of myself as superior?"

Song Yi and Zhang Meng had never heard of these words, and they were convinced!

Li Shijian has seen three families again, in fact, it is Song Yi and Zhang Meng, and Xu Wenhu is alone. After everyone finished speaking, they all followed Li Shijian to Ping'an Prefecture.

Out of Huoshan County, when he was about to get on the horse, Zhang Meng saw that the Huoyun horse ridden by Li Shijian was extremely majestic, and praised: "My lord Khan, this is the Huoyun horse, right? It's really a good horse!"

Li Shijian heard this, and laughed: "This horse was taken from Du Meng in the Dongting Army - Third Brother Zhang, I see that your double hammer is one hundred and fifty pounds, and it is estimated that it is difficult for ordinary war horses to carry you to fight, it is better not to give you this Huoyun Horse, I hope that Third Brother will not refuse!"

Zhang Meng was taken aback when he heard this: "My lord Emperor Khan, the last general just commented casually, and he didn't mean to ask for it!"

Li Shijian said with a smile: "Third Brother Zhang, this horse is a reward for Emperor Ben Khan, could it be that you are not either?"

When Zhang Meng heard this, he said: "My lord Khan, the last general has not made an inch, how can he be rewarded?"

Li Shijian said: "With the third brother's second place in the world, he joined our army, and this influence is enough to receive this reward!"

So Zhang Meng knelt down and kowtowed to thank him. Li Shijian pulled him up and said to him: "The gift of the monarch and the minister is inevitable, but at this time we are brothers, and we only talk about the friendship of friends, regardless of the great gift of the monarch and the minister. ”

When Zhang Meng heard this, he was so moved that he almost cried! Needless to say, Xu Wenhu said it, and Song Yi was also very emotional: It seems that defecting to Li Shijian is really right!

The next day, in Ping'an Prefecture, Li Shijian gathered to discuss the matter.

What Song Yi, Xu Wenhu, and Zhang Meng said was: From what they saw all the way through Dahu Prefecture, the guards of Dahu Prefecture were incompetent, greedy, and the people's resentment was boiling, and they advocated taking Dahu Prefecture as soon as possible.

When we were deliberating, there was a Malay newspaper:

Yang Qingcai attacked in two ways!

All the way, Yang Qingcai's general Wan Qisong invaded Jing County, Shunyi Prefecture, Li Shijun transferred Tian Mengchang and Chang Sheng back, and personally led 50,000 horses to the rescue;

On the other hand, Li Qingcai himself led 120,000 horses, and the troops went out to attack Mazhou and attacked Shangguan County.

When Li Shijun heard this, he called a general, named Lin Hui, and appointed him as the commander of the Western Expeditionary Army, leading 50,000 horses to set off, making Xu Wenhu the deputy general and Zhang Meng as the vanguard to attack Dahu Prefecture.

Xu Wenhu listened and asked Li Shijian: "Senior Brother Khan, what kind of powerful character is this Lin Heng, choose him as the commander of the Western Expeditionary Army?

Li Shijian said: "Senior brother, Dahu Prefecture must be taken, and I will save Shangguan County myself." As for the selection of Lin Heng as the commander of the Western Expedition, Lin Heng was selected by me when I was training and selecting generals, and his performance was very good in the three military trainings.

On the art of war, this person is familiar with the "Book of the Art of Fighting"; on tactics, this person is proficient in the "Book of the Law of Fighting Formations"; this Lin Heng is also quite brave, making a machete, weighing 54 pounds, an ordinary general, not his opponent; he is quite strategic, has a calm temperament, and is a handsome talent.

I appointed him as the commander today, which is the intention of further training, and I hope that you will give him more guidance, senior brother!"

Li Shijian said to Lin Hui again: "General Lin, my senior brother is not despising you, but concerned about the safety of our army. ”

Lin Hui saluted Xu Wenhu, and Xu Wenhu was also humble.

Xu Wenhu said to Li Shijian again: "Senior Brother Khan, you come to cultivate talents and decide the rise and fall of a country, Senior Brother Khan, why don't you open a military school, or set up a lecture and training camp, and specially select promising lower-level officers and soldiers to study, how about it?"

Li Shijian was very happy when he heard this, and said: "I have also thought about this problem, but I haven't thought about it maturely. Senior brother can think like this, then, after returning from the western expedition to Dahu Prefecture, how about asking senior brother to preside over this matter?"

Xu Wenhu said: "Okay!"

As a result, the 50,000 horses of the Western Expeditionary Army, under the leadership of Lin Hui and Xu Wenhu, had a pioneer Zhang Meng open the way and marched all the way to Dahu Prefecture.

It turned out that Li Shijian had already appointed Li Shijun as the commander of the Northern Army, led 50,000 horses, and prepared to attack Zhang Yousan, but Zhang Yousan was annexed by Yang Qingcai, and the three states of Damingzhou, Baomazhou, and Daxingzhou fell into Yang Qingcai's pocket.

Yang Qingcai found out that Li Shijian was going to use troops against his side, so he made the first move and attacked Jing County and Shangguan County, the key points of Shunyi Prefecture.

Li Shijian arranged the Western Expeditionary Army, and the available troops in his hands were nearly 30,000 people stationed in various places, and the available mobile troops were only 20,000.

Li Shijian left Li Yunhang, Chen Zhiyuan, Zhu Wu, An Gongziming and others to guard Ping'an Prefecture, personally led the 20,000 mobile soldiers, and led Wen Ziming, Yan Junping, Song Yi, Ji Xiaohu, Yang Can, Zhang Li and others to rescue Shangguan County.

Li Shijian's 20,000 horses came to Shangguan County, 20 miles away from the city. At this time, Shangguan County was surrounded by Yang Qingcai's 120,000 horses.

Li Shijian discussed the military aircraft in the big tent of the Chinese army, and Yan Junping said:

"My lord Emperor Khan, then Yang Qingcai annexed Zhang You's three departments, and there are always 2.67 million people. It is reported that he sent the general Wan Qisong to lead 100,000 horses to fight Jingxian, and there are also 120,000 horses here, so it can be said that he also raised troops to fight with us, and his territory must be empty of defense-

We have only 20,000 soldiers, so it is not appropriate to fight head-on, so it is better to send 3,000 strange soldiers into the enemy's territory, attack his grain routes, and harass and attack behind the enemy. ”

Wen Ziming said: "My lord Emperor Khan, what Yan Junshi said is very true!"

Li Shijian said: "Since the two military divisions have the same opinion, then ask the two military divisions and the two generals Yang Can and Zhang Li to lead 8,000 troops out of the enemy to carry out sabotage and harassment operations." ”

Wen Ziming said: "My lord Emperor Khan, you don't need to send so many troops over, right? After all, you have to deal with the enemy head-on, and you don't have many troops left." ”

Li Shijian said with a smile: "The soldiers are fine but not many." I sent two military divisions with two generals, and the intention of the battle was as follows:

When you arrived behind enemy lines, your troops were divided into two routes, one was led by the Yan Army Division and General Yang Can, which specialized in attacking the county and the city, and the other was led by the Wen Army Division and General Zhang Li, who specialized in sabotage and harassment. Moreover, the two sides must avoid the real and attack the false, and support each other, so that nothing goes wrong!"

So the two military advisors claimed to be "wonderful", and they went with Yang Can and Zhang Li to lead the troops.

Li Shijian said again: "General Song, you lead 3,000 troops, 2,000 troops to fight, and 1,000 troops to escort grain and grass. But when you see the foreign army attacking, you will unleash your cannons. If you go out of the city during the day, you can't go out of the city at night!"

Song Yi led the troops, and Li Shijian led the army to escort him. As soon as Li Shijian appeared, someone in Yang Qingcai's army recognized him: This person rushed into battle alone that day, fighting alone in the front army of the Eastern Courtyard Army, amazing!

As for Song Yi, no one could stop an iron gun, so he easily rushed into Shangguan County. Li Shijian led the army back.

In the evening of the same day, Li Shijian called the two generals Chen Tong and Yang Rong again, and instructed: "You each lead 2,000 soldiers to the east of Shangguan County, set up more banners, and move and stand still in order to confuse the enemy; Yang Qingcai's troops will not retreat, and they must not attack, and if they retreat, you must pursue them with great fanfare, but you must move with the whole army, and you must not stand out alone and chase them to the end." ”

The second general led the troops.

Li Shijian called Gao Yuan and Qin Yuan again, and ordered: "You two each lead 2,000 troops, and lie in ambush on the high ground on the left and right sides of my camp. If the enemy is coming, just shoot back with a strong bow and a crossbow. ”

At this time, it was getting late, and there were only 1,000 soldiers in the camp. These thousand soldiers are Li Shijian's personal guards. Li Shijian ordered to the generals Li Shilong and Miao Hui:

"Miao Hui, the commander of the army, guarded the camp, and Li Shilong, the commander of the horses, prepare the things that cause fire, and follow me to kick the camp!"

Li Shilong came back and told his subordinates that the five hundred soldiers were all afraid and hesitant.

Li Shilong said: "As the noble status of the king of a country, my lord Emperor Khan can take the lead and go to rob the camp himself! The Emperor Khan chose me as the commander of his own army, and I should make meritorious contributions with the Emperor Khan! You are under my command, and you are all the Emperor's personal guards, how can you be left behind?"

So all the soldiers expressed their willingness to follow the Khan Emperor and raid the camp in the middle of the night.

But it was said that at the beginning of the third watch that night, Li Shijian led a command of 500 people and horses to kill into the enemy camp, and the 500 guards were all white cloth with arms, all of them were silver wildebeests, machetes, and with Li Shijian, shouting and killing, and setting fire everywhere!

In Yang Qingcai's army, after a battle during the day, he knew that the enemy would be powerful. Yang Qingcai was discussing with a few strategists how to deal with Li Shijian, and suddenly, he could hear the horn cannon in the city of Guanxian County!

Yang Qingcai was about to send someone to investigate, and there was a report from the Malay: The enemy army is coming to rob the camp!

Yang Qingcai was shocked: "Our army has strengthened its defense, how did he attack it? How many men and horses are there? If it is attacked from inside and outside the city, how can it be good?"

The horse scouts reported: In the middle of the night, I saw that all the battalions in the southeast and southwest were moving, and the camps in the south were already burning; I only heard shouts of killing everywhere, but I really don't know how many men and horses!

Yang Qingcai was about to mobilize troops and horses to rescue the camps in the south area, when he suddenly heard the shouts of killing and approached the Chinese army camp!
