Chapter 65 Chapter 64: Kong Ming Plans to Capture Zhang Ren and Yang Fu to Borrow Ma Chao

But Zhang Fei asked Yan Yan for advice, and Yan said: From now on, Luocheng will be taken, and all the guards and passes will be managed by the old man, and all the officers and soldiers are under control.Today, I feel that there is nothing to repay the kindness of the general. The old man should be the front. Wherever he goes, he will call out to surrender.Zhang Fei was very grateful.So Yan Yan was in the front, and Zhang Fei led the army to follow.Wherever he went, Yan Yan was in charge, calling for surrender.For those who hesitated, Yan said: "If I surrender, let alone you."Since he hoped that the wind would return, he had never fought a battle.

But he said that Kong Ming had declared the departure date to Xuande, and the church would gather in Luocheng.Xuande discussed with the officials: now Kongming and Yide will take Sichuan in two ways, and they will meet in Luocheng and enter Chengdu together.The water and land boat vehicle has already set off on July 20th, and it will be here in time.Now I can enter the army waiting.Huang Zhong said: "Zhang Ren comes to fight every day, but he sees that the city is not coming out. The other army is slack and unprepared. Tonight we divide our troops and plunder the village, which is better than fighting in the daytime."Xuande followed him and taught Huang Zhong to lead troops to the left, Wei Yan led troops to take the right, and Xuande took the middle.At the second watch of the night, the Third Route Army and horses marched together.Zhang Ren really wasn't prepared.The Han army rushed into Dazhai, set fire to it, and the flames rose into the air.The Shu soldiers rushed to Luocheng overnight, and the soldiers from the city came to meet them.Xuande returned to the village on the middle road; the next day, he led his troops to Luocheng, surrounded and attacked.Zhang Ren stayed out of the army.On the fourth day of the attack, Xuande raised an army to attack the west gate, ordered Huang Zhong and Wei Yan to attack at the east gate, and left the south gate and the north gate to let the army walk.It turns out that the area around the south gate is full of mountain roads, and there is Fushui at the north gate: so it is not surrounded.Zhang Ren saw Xuande at the west gate, riding horses to and fro, directing the attack on the city. From Chen to Wei, the men and horses gradually became exhausted.Zhang Ren taught Wu Lan and Lei Tong to lead their troops out of the north gate and turn to the east gate to meet Huang Zhong and Wei Yan; but he led his troops out of the south gate and turned to the west gate to meet Xuande alone.All the militiamen in the city went to the city, beating drums and shouting.

But when Xuande saw the red sun and the west, he taught the rear army to retreat first.When the sergeant turned around, there was a lot of shouting in the city, and the army and horses stood out in the south gate.Zhang Renjing came to the army to catch Xuande.There was chaos in Xuande's army.Huang Zhong and Wei Yan were defeated by Wu Lan and Lei Tong.Can't look at each other for two times, Xuande can't fight Zhang Ren, so he pulls his horse and walks to the mountain path.Zhang Ren chased from behind to see if he could catch up.Xuande was alone with one horse, and Zhang Ren led several horsemen to come.Xuande was looking forward and trying his best to whip up the whip, when suddenly an army rushed out on the mountain road.Xuande immediately complained and said: "There is an ambush in front, and there are pursuers in the back. Heaven will kill me!"I saw the first general in the army: it was Zhang Fei.It turned out that Zhang Fei and Yan Yan were coming from that road. When they saw the dust rising, they knew they were fighting Sichuan soldiers.Zhang Fei came first and bumped into Zhang Ren, so he handed over his horse.After more than ten rounds of fighting, Yan Yan led his troops behind him to make a big advance.Zhang Ren turned around quickly.Zhang Fei rushed straight to the city.Zhang Ren retreated into the city and pulled up the suspension bridge.

Zhang Fei went back to Xuande and said: "The military division came back from the river, but before it arrived, I took the lead."Xuande said: "The mountain road is dangerous and difficult. How can we drive forward without an army and advance here first?"Zhang Fei said: "The forty-five passes on the road are all due to the merits of the veteran Yan Yan; therefore, no effort has been expended on the road."Then he explained the matter of Yan Yan's interpretation from the beginning, and introduced Yan Yan to Xuande.Xuande thanked him and said, "If it weren't for the old general, how could my brother come here?"He took off his golden chain mail and gave it to him.Thank you Yan Yan.Just as we were about to arrange a banquet, we heard the report from the sentinel horse: Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and Chuan generals Wu Lan and Lei Tong confronted each other. Huang Er will lose the battle and go east.Hearing this, Zhang Fei asked Xuande to divide his troops into two groups and kill them to rescue them.So Zhang Fei was on the left and Xuande was on the right, rushing forward.Wu Yi and Liu Gui retreated into the city in a panic when they saw the shouts from behind.Wu Lan and Lei Tong only led their troops to chase after Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, but they were stopped by Xuande and Zhang Fei.Huang Zhong and Wei Yan returned to their horses and turned to attack.Wu Lan and Lei Tong could not hold back, so they had to surrender their army and horses.Xuande allowed him to surrender, and withdrew his troops from the city to the village.

But he said that Zhang Ren lost his second general, and he was worried.Wu Yi and Liu Gui said: "The army is in great danger. If you don't decide to fight to the death, how can you retreat?"On the one hand, he sent people to Chengdu to meet the master to announce his urgency, and on the other hand, he used tactics to plan the enemy.Zhang Ren said: "In the future, I will lead an army to fight, feign defeat, and divert to the north of the city; then use an army to rush out of the city and cut it off; we can win."Wu Yi said: "General Liu assists the son to defend the city, and I will lead the troops out to help the battle."Appointment set.The next day, Zhang Ren led thousands of men and horses, waved flags and shouted, and went out of the city to fight.Zhang Fei got on his horse and went out to meet him, not to speak, and confronted Zhang Ren.After less than ten battles, Zhang Ren feigned defeat and walked around the city.Zhang Fei tried his best to chase him.Wu Yi's army stopped him, Zhang Ren led his army back, and surrounded Zhang Fei in Gaixin, unable to advance or retreat.Just having no choice but to see a group of troops rushing out from the river.The first general, with his spear and horse, confronted Wu Yi; he captured Wu Yi alive, fought back the enemy, and rescued Zhang Fei.Look at it: it is Zhao Yun.Fei asked: "Where is the military division?"Yun said: "The military division has arrived."I think I have met my lord at this time.The two captured Wu Yi and returned to the village.Zhang Ren retreated into the east gate.

When Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun returned to the village, they saw that Kong Ming, Jian Yong and Jiang Wan were already in their tents.Fly off the horse and join the army division.Kongming asked in surprise, "How can I get first?"Xuande has a description to explain Yan Yan's matter.Kongming congratulated him and said: "General Zhang's ability to plan is all due to the blessing of the lord."Zhao Yun asked Wu Yi to meet Xuande.Xuande said, "will you surrender?"Wu Yi said: "I was caught, how can I not surrender?"Xuande was overjoyed and untied him personally.Kongming asked: How many people guard the city?Wu Yi said: "There is Liu Xun, the son of Liu Jiyu, who is assisted by Liu Gui and Zhang Ren.Liu Gui doesn't matter; Zhang Ren is a native of Shu County. He is very courageous and should not underestimate the enemy.Kongming said: "Catch Zhang Ren first, and then take Luocheng."Question: What is the name of the bridge in the east of the city?Wu Yi said: "Golden Goose Bridge."Kongming rode his horse to the bridge, looked around the river, and returned to the village. He called Huang Zhong and Wei Yan to listen to the order: "five or six miles south of the Jinyan Bridge, there are reeds and reeds on both sides, and you can ambush them."Wei Yan led a thousand gunmen to the left, single-handedly poked the general; Huang Zhong led a thousand swordsmen to the right, single-handedly slashed and sat down on the horse.To kill and scatter the other army, Zhang Ren must come from the small road in Shandong.Zhang Yide led a thousand troops to lie there, and captured them there.He also called Zhao Yun to lie on the north side of the Jinyan Bridge: When I lead Zhang Ren to cross the bridge, you will tear down the bridge, but you will rein in the troops to the north of the bridge. Good trick.The dispatch has been decided, and the military division will lure the enemy by itself.

But Liu Zhang sent two generals, Zhuoying and Zhang Yi, to Luocheng to help in the battle.Zhang Ren taught Zhang Yi and Liu Gui to defend the city, and he and Zhuo Ying were the front and rear teams, and Zhuo Ying was the rear team to go out of the city to retreat from the enemy.Kong Ming led a team of disorganized troops across the Jinyan Bridge to face Zhang Ren.Kongming came out in a four-wheeled cart with a feather towel and a feather fan. On both sides, more than a hundred riders clustered together. He pointed at Zhang Ren and said: "Cao Cao, with millions of people, heard my name, and walked away watching the wind. Who are you now, dare not surrender?"Seeing Kongming's uneven army, Zhang Ren sneered immediately and said: "People say that Zhuge Liang uses soldiers like a god, so he is in name only!"With one move of the gun, all military schools, big and small, came over.Kongming abandoned his four-wheeled cart, got on his horse and retreated across the bridge.Zhang Ren came from behind.After crossing the Jinyan Bridge, I saw Xuande's army on the left and Yan Yan's army on the right, rushing to kill the future.Zhang Ren knew it was a plan. When he hurried back to the army, the bridge was broken. He wanted to go north, but Zhao Yun's army was spread across the bank, so he didn't dare to go north, and went south around the river.After walking less than five or seven miles, I arrived at the place where the reeds were mixed.Wei Yan's army suddenly rose from the reed, and they all stabbed randomly with long spears.Huang Zhongyi's army lay down in the reeds, cutting only the horse's hoof with a long knife.All the horse troops fell and were all tied up.Where does the infantry dare to come?Zhang Ren led dozens of riders to Wangshan Road and bumped into Zhang Fei.Zhang Renfang was about to retreat, Zhang Fei shouted loudly, and all the troops came together and captured Zhang Renfang alive.It turned out that Zhuo Ying saw that Zhang Ren had fallen for the plan, and had already surrendered to Zhao Yun's army, and all his shots went to Dazhai.Xuande rewarded Zhuo Ying.Zhang Fei released Zhang Renzhi.Kong Ming also sat in the tent.Xuande called Zhang Ren and said: "The generals in the middle of Shu surrendered in anticipation of the wind. Why didn't you surrender earlier?"Zhang Ren opened his eyes and shouted angrily, "how can a loyal minister be willing to serve two masters?"Xuande said: "You don't know the time and the ear."Surrender to avoid death.Ren said: I will surrender today, and I will not surrender for a long time!Kill me quickly!Xuande couldn't bear to kill him.Zhang Ren scolded loudly.Kong Ming ordered him to be beheaded in full name.Later generations have a poem praising it:

How can a martyr be willing to obey the two masters? Zhang Junzhong is still alive and dead.Gao Ming is like the moon in the sky, shining on Luocheng every night. Xuande sighed so much that he ordered his body to be collected and buried beside the Jinyan Bridge to show his loyalty. The next day, Yan Yan, Wu Yi and a group of Shu Zhong surrendered to the front as far as Luocheng, shouting: Open the door early and accept the surrender, so that the people of the city will not suffer!Liu Gui cursed in the city.Yan Yanfang was waiting to take the arrow and shoot it, when suddenly he saw a general in the city, drew his sword, knocked down Liu Gui, opened the door and surrendered.When Xuande's army entered Luocheng, Liu Xun opened the west gate to escape and went to Chengdu.Xuande came out to comfort the people.The one who killed Liu Gui was Zhang Yiye from Wuyang.Xuande won Luocheng and rewarded the generals heavily.Kongming said: "Luocheng has been broken, and Chengdu is only at present; I am afraid that the counties in other states will not be peaceful."You can order Zhang Yi and Wu Yi to lead Zhao Yun to the prefectures and counties of Jiangyang and Qianwei in Wai Shui, and order Yan Yan and Zhuo Ying to lead Zhang Fei to the prefectures and counties of Deyang in Brazil; .Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun took orders and each led their troops.Kong Ming asked: "Where is the pass?"The general who surrendered in the middle of Shu said: "Mianzhu is only guarded by heavy troops; if Mianzhu is obtained, Chengdu is within easy reach."Kong Ming then discussed to enter the army.Fazheng said: "Luocheng is destroyed, and the middle of Shu is in danger."The lord wants to serve the people with benevolence and righteousness, so don't enter the army.In a book written by Liu Zhang, he stated his interests and interests, and Zhang naturally surrendered.Kong Ming said: The words of filial piety and straightness are the best.So he ordered the writer to send people to Chengdu.

But he said that Liu Xun fled back to see his father, that Luocheng had fallen, and Liu Zhang hurriedly gathered all the officials to discuss.Engaged in Zheng Du's advice, he said: "Although Liu Bei is attacking the city and seizing the land, there are not many soldiers, the soldiers are not attached, the wild valleys are capital, and the army has no supplies."It's better to drive all the people of Zitong, Brazil, across the west of Fushui.All the barns, granaries, and wild valleys were burned down, and deep ditches and high fortifications waited quietly.If you come to ask for a fight, don't allow it.After a long time without capital, but a hundred days, the other soldiers left by themselves.I take advantage of the false attack, ready to catch it.Liu Zhang said: Otherwise: I have heard that resisting the enemy is to calm the people, but I have not heard that mobilizing the people is to prepare for the enemy.This statement is not a measure of preservation.During the discussion, there are books coming to people to report the law.Liu Zhang called in.Submit a letter.Zhang took it apart and looked at it.The brief said:

The former Mongolian sent an envoy to make friends with Jingzhou, but he didn't expect that the lord could not control him, so that's the case.Today Jingzhou misses the old love and does not forget the family friendship.If the lord can surrender, he will not be treated lightly.Think twice about the decision. Liu Zhang was furious, tore up his book, and cursed: Fazheng is a traitor who betrays his master and seeks glory, an ungrateful and treacherous thief!Chase his emissary out of the city.At that time, Fei Guan, his wife and younger brother, left behind and raised his troops to guard Mianzhu.Fei Guanju, a man from Nanyang whose surname is Li, surnamed Yan, and his character is square, led the army together.At present, Fei Guan and Li Yan ordered 30,000 troops to defend Mianzhu.Dong He, the prefect of Yizhou, whose style name was Youzai, was also from Zhijiang in Nanjun County. He wrote to Liu Zhang, asking him to borrow troops from Hanzhong.Zhang said: "Zhang Lu and my world, can you save each other?"He said: "Although I have a relationship with me, Liu Bei's army is in Luocheng, and the situation is in danger. If the lips are dead, the teeth will be cold. If you say it in terms of advantages and disadvantages, you will definitely follow."Zhang Nai Xiushu sent envoys to Hanzhong.

But it is said that Ma Chao was defeated and entered the Qiang. For more than two years, he formed a good relationship with the Qiang soldiers and captured Longxi Prefecture.Wherever they went, they all surrendered; but Jizhou could not be attacked.The governor, Wei Kang, sent people to Xiahouyuan for help.Yuan didn't understand Cao Cao's words, so he didn't dare to send troops.Seeing that the rescuers were not coming, Wei Kang discussed with the crowd: it is better to surrender to Ma Chao.Yang Fu, who joined the army, wept and remonstrated, saying: How can a super traitor be surrendered?Kang said: "The situation is at this point, what should we do if we don't surrender?"Fu bitterly remonstrated and refused.Wei Kang opened the city gate and voted for Ma Chao.Chao Da said angrily: "You are in a hurry to surrender, you are not sincere!"Kill Wei Kang and more than forty mouthfuls, leaving no one behind.Someone said: Yang Fu persuaded Wei Kangxiu to surrender, so he can be killed.Chao said: "This man is righteous and cannot be beheaded."He reused Yang Fu as a member of the army.Fu recommended Liang Kuan and Zhao Qu as military officers.Yang Fu told Ma Chao, "Fu's wife died in Lintao. He begged for two months' leave to bury his wife. Then he returned, and Ma Chao followed her." Yang Fu passed through Licheng and came to see Jiang Xu, General Fuyi.Xu and Fu are cousins: Xu's mother is Fu's aunt, who is eighty-two years old.On that day, Yang Fu entered Jiangxu's inner house, visited his aunt, and cried and said: "Fu can't protect the city, and the master can't die. I'm ashamed to see my aunt."Ma Chao rebelled against the emperor, murdered the governor, and all the scholars and people in the state hated him.Now my brother is sitting in Licheng, but he has no heart to beg for thieves. Is this the reason for a minister?After all, tears flowed blood.When Xu's mother heard the words, she called Jiang Xu in, and said to him: "Wei Shijun was killed, and it is also your crime."He also called Fu and said: "You surrendered to people and lived on their salary. Why are you so interested in begging for them?"Fu said: "I follow the thief, and I want to stay alive and avenge my lord."The narration said: Ma Chao is brave, and he is in a hurry.Fu said: "It is easy to plan if you have courage but no strategy."I have made a secret appointment with Liang Kuan and Zhao Qu.If the elder brother is willing to raise troops, the two will be internal responses.Xu's mother said: "If you don't draw the picture early, when will you wait?"Who is not dead?To die of loyalty is to die well.Don't think of me.If you don't listen to Yishan's words, I will die first.I will never miss you. Xu Nai discussed with Yin Feng and Zhao Ang, the lieutenants of the Commanding Army.It turned out that Zhao Yue, Zhao Ang's son, saw that he was following Ma Chao as a general. Zhao Ang agreed that day and returned to see his wife, Wang Shi, saying: "Today, I have a discussion with Jiang Xu, Yang Fu, and Yin Feng, and I want to repay Wei Kang's favor."I want my son Zhao Yue to follow Ma Chao. If there is an army now, Chao will kill my son first. What can I do?His wife sternly said: "Jun Xue's father's great shame, even if he lost his life, he would not hesitate, let alone a son?"If the king does not care about his son, I will die first.Zhao Ang is determined.The next day they raised their troops together.Jiang Xu and Yang Fu stationed in Licheng, Yin Feng and Zhao Ang stationed in Mount Qi.The Wang family sent all the jewelry and silk to the Qishan army in person to reward the soldiers and encourage them. When Ma Chao heard that Jiang Xu and Yang Fu had joined forces with Yin Feng and Zhao Ang, he was furious and beheaded Zhao Yue; he ordered Pang De and Ma Dai to run to Licheng with all their troops and horses.Jiang Xu and Yang Fu led their troops out.In the circle of two formations, Yang Fu and Jiang Xuyi came out in white robes, and cursed: "Traitors and unrighteous thieves!"Ma Chao was furious, rushed over, and the two armies fought.How did Jiang Xu and Yang Fu defeat Ma Chao and leave in defeat.Ma Chao drove his troops to come.At the sound of shouting from behind, Yin Feng and Zhao Ang came to kill him.When returning in a super-quick manner, two attacks were made, and the head and the tail could not look at each other.In the middle of the battle, the army and horses of the stabbing brigade came to kill.It turned out that Xia Houyuan had obtained Cao Cao's military order and was leading the army to defeat Ma Chao.Chao how to be a three-way army horse, was defeated and ran back.After walking all night, until Pingming, when I arrived at Deji City and called the door, arrows shot down from the city.Liang Kuan and Zhao Qu stood on the city wall and cursed at Ma Chao; they chopped off Ma Chao's wife, Yang Shi, from the city wall, and left the body behind; will come down.Chao Qi choked his chest and almost fell off the horse.Behind Xia Houyuan led his troops to chase.Seeing the great power, Chao did not dare to love to fight, and fought with Pang De and Ma Dai to fight together.He bumped into Jiang Xu and Yang Fu in front and killed him for a while; when he rushed past, he bumped into Yin Feng and Zhao Ang again and killed him for a while.Scattered, fifty or sixty riders left, running all night.Around the fourth watch, when they walked to the base of Licheng, the gatekeepers only told Jiang Xubing to return, and opened the gate to enter.Chao started from the south gate of the city and wiped out the people in the city.Go to Jiang Xu's house and take out your mother.The mother has no fear at all, pointing at Ma Chao and cursing.Super angry, he took his own sword and killed him.Yin Feng and Zhao Ang's whole family, old and young, were all killed by Ma Chao.Ang's wife, Wang, was spared because she was in the army.The next day, when Xiahouyuan's army arrived, Ma Chao abandoned the city and rushed out, looking west and fleeing.After traveling less than 20 miles, there was an army in front of him, led by Yang Fu.Grinding his teeth and hating him, he patted his horse and stabbed him with a spear.Seven Fu brothers came to help the battle together.Ma Dai and Pang De fought against the rear army.The seven Fu brothers were all killed by Ma Chao.Fu was shot five times in the body, still fighting to the death.Xia Houyuan's army came from behind, and Ma Chao left.Only Pang De and Ma Dai rode away after Wuqi.Xia Houyuan appeased the people of the prefectures in Longxi on his own, ordered Jiang Xu and others to guard each other, and drove Yang Fu to Xudu to meet Cao Cao.Cao made Fu the Marquis of Guannei.Fu's speech said: "Fu has no merit in defending against difficulties, and there is no festival of death. He should be punished by the law. How can he be appointed?"Cao Jiazhi, the death and the noble. But Ma Chao discussed with Pang De and Ma Dai and went to Hanzhong to vote for Zhang Lu.Zhang Lu was overjoyed. He thought that if he won Ma Chao, he could swallow Yizhou in the west and reject Cao Cao in the east.General Yang Bo remonstrated: "Ma Chao's wife suffered a terrible disaster, and it was all Chao's harm."How can the lord be given to her by a daughter?Lu followed his words, so he gave up the proposal of recruiting.Or tell Ma Chao in the words of Yang Bo.Super angry, intending to kill Yang Bai.Knowing that Yang Bozhi discussed with his brother Yang Song, he also had the heart of thinking about Ma Chao.At the same time, Liu Zhang sent an envoy to seek help from Zhang Lu, but Lu refused.Suddenly it was reported that Liu Zhang had sent Huang Quan again.Quan first came to see Yang Song and said: "The east and west rivers are actually lips and teeth; if the west river is broken, the east river will be difficult to protect."If you are willing to save each other today, you should be rewarded with twenty states.Song was overjoyed, and invited Huang Quan to see Zhang Lu, saying that his lips and teeth were good and bad, and he thanked him with twenty states.Lu Xi Qi benefit, from it.Yan Pu of Brazil remonstrated, saying: Liu Zhang and his lord, Shiyu, are in urgent need of help in this matter. They cheated Xu to cede the land, which is not acceptable.Suddenly a person from the next step came in and said: "Although a certain person is not talented, I would like to beg a teacher from the brigade to capture Liu Bei alive."Be sure to cede the land in return.Exactly: Fang saw the real master coming to Xishu, and saw elite soldiers leaving Hanzhong.It is unknown who the person is, let's see the breakdown below.
