Chapter 71 Chapter 70 Meng Zhang Fei Outwits Wakou Pass Lao Huang Zhong Plans to Capture Tiandang Mountain

But it is said that Zhang He's troops have 30,000 soldiers, and they are divided into three villages, each of which is near the mountain: a Dangqu village, a Mengtou village, and a Dangshi village.On that day, Zhang He divided his army into three villages and divided half of them to take Brazil, leaving half to guard the village.Earlier, scouts reported to Brazil that Zhang He had led his troops.Zhang Fei hurriedly called Lei Tong to discuss.Tong said: Langzhong is dangerous and dangerous, you can ambush.The general led his troops to fight, and I sent out a surprise soldier to help him, and He could be captured.Zhang Fei dispatched five thousand elite soldiers to go with Lei Tong.Flying 10,000 troops from Langzhong, thirty miles away from Langzhong, he met Zhang Ying's soldiers.The two armies spread out, Zhang Fei rode out, and Zhang He was single-handed.He held out his spear and galloped out.After more than 20 battles, He's rear army suddenly shouted: I saw the flags and banners of Shu soldiers behind the mountain, so I disturbed them.Zhang He didn't dare to fight, so he pulled his horse back.Zhang Fei concealed the kill from behind.In front, Lei Tong led his troops out again.After two flanking attacks, He's troops were defeated.Zhang Fei and Lei Tong chased them all night and arrived at Dangqu Mountain.Zhang He still divided his troops to defend the three villages, and set up more wood and rocks, and stood firm without fighting.Zhang Fei went to the village ten miles away from Dangqu, and led his troops to fight the next day.He boasted and drank wine on the mountain, but did not go down the mountain.Zhang Feiling scolded the sergeant, but He just didn't come out.Fei had to return to camp.The next day, Lei Tong went down the mountain to fight again.He came out again.Lei Tong drives the sergeants up the mountain, and the generals come down from the mountain by beating wood and rocks.Thunder Copper quickly retreated.Dangshi and Mengtou villages sent out troops to defeat Lei Tong.The next day, Zhang Fei went to fight again.Zhang He came out again.Fei made the soldiers curse in every possible way, and He also cursed on the mountain.Zhang Fei thought about it, but there was nothing he could do.After more than fifty days of refusal, Fei took up residence in Dazhai in front of the mountain. He drank alcohol every day until he was very drunk, and sat in front of the mountain and insulted him.

Xuande sent someone to reward the army. Seeing Zhang Fei drinking all day long, the messenger reported back to Xuande.Xuande was shocked and hurried to ask Kong Ming.Kong Ming said with a smile: "That's it!"I am afraid that there will be no good wine in front of the army; there are so many fine wines in Chengdu that you can pack fifty urns into three carts and send them to the front of the army to drink with General Zhang.Xuande said: "My younger brother came here to drink and had an accident. Why did the military commander give him wine instead?"Kongming said with a smile: "My lord and Yide have been brothers for many years, but you still don't know what kind of person he is?"Yide has always been strong, but when he came to Sichuan, he explained his strict face, which was not done by a brave man.Today, I have rejected Zhang He for more than 50 days. After getting drunk, I sat in front of the mountain and insulted him, as if no one was around.Xuande said: "Even so, it can't be trusted."Wei Yan can help it.Kong Ming ordered Wei Yan to drink before going to the army, put yellow flags on each car, and write a big book about the public wine before the army.Wei Yan took the order to hangover and went to the village to see Zhang Fei. It is said that the Lord gave him wine.After receiving the flying obeisance, Wei Yan and Lei Tong each led a team of troops to serve as the left and right wings; they marched only when the red flag in the army was raised;A report came up the mountain, and Zhang Yun came to the top of the mountain to watch: he saw Zhang Fei sitting under the tent drinking wine, and made the two young soldiers perform sumo wrestling in front of him.He said: "Zhang Fei deceived me too much!"It was ordered to go down the mountain to rob Feizhai tonight.The two villages of Mengtou and Dangshi were ordered to come out to help the left and right.That night Zhang He took advantage of the twilight of the moon and led his army down the side of the mountain to the front of the village.Looking at Zhang Fei's bright lights and candles, he is drinking in the tent.Zhang He shouted first, beat the drum in front of the mountain to help, and rushed straight into the Chinese army.But seeing Zhang Fei sitting still.Zhang He rushed to the front of his horse suddenly, and stabbed him down with a single shot, but it turned out to be a straw man.When I hurriedly reined in my horse and returned, Lianzhu was raised behind the tent.One general took the lead, blocked the way, opened his round eyes, and made a sound like thunder, but Zhang Fei also jumped on his horse with his spear, and went straight to Zhang Yun.In the light of the fire, the two generals fought until thirty or fifty.Zhang He only hoped that the two villages would come to rescue them, but Wei Yan and Lei Tong had already killed the two villages to rescue them, so they seized the two villages.Zhang He didn't see the rescuers coming, so he was helpless when he saw that the mountain was on fire, and Zhang Fei's army had seized the fence.Zhang He's three strongholds were all lost, so he had to go to Wakou pass.Zhang Fei won a big victory and reported to Chengdu.Xuande was overjoyed, and he knew that Yide's drinking was a trick, as long as he lured Zhang He down the mountain.

But he said that Zhang Yun retreated to Wakou Pass, and the 30,000 army had lost 20,000, so he sent someone to ask Cao Hong for help.Hong Da said angrily: "You don't listen to my words, you insist on entering the army, and you lose the critical pass, but you come to ask for help again!"So he refused to send troops, and ordered Zhang He to go out to fight.He was flustered, so he had to make a plan, and divided the two armies into an ambush in the mountains in front of the pass. He said, "If I feign defeat, Zhang Fei will definitely come, and you will stop him from returning."That day Zhang He led his army forward and met Lei Tong.After several battles, Zhang He was defeated and Lei Tong came.The two armies went out together to cut off the circuit.Zhang He returned and stabbed Lei Tong under his horse.The defeated army returned to Zhang Fei.Fei Zilai challenged Zhang He.He feigned defeat again, and Zhang Fei refused to catch up.He fought back again, but lost again without counting.Zhang Fei knew it was a plan, so he took the army back to the stronghold, and discussed with Wei Yan, saying: "Zhang Yun used the ambush plan to kill Lei Tong and want to make money for me. Why not use the plan?"Yan asked, "How?"Fei said: "Tomorrow I will lead an army first, but you will lead the best soldiers behind. When the ambush comes out, you can divide your troops and attack them."More than ten cars were used, each of them hid firewood, built a small road, and set fire to it.I took advantage of the situation to capture Zhang He, and retaliate with Lei Tong.Wei Yan led the plan.The next day, Zhang Fei led his troops forward.Zhang He's soldiers came again and confronted Zhang Fei.At the end of the battle, He feigned defeat again.Zhang Fei led the horse infantry to come, and He fought and left.Leading Zhang Fei across the mountain valley, He led the rear army to the front, set up camp again, and fought with Fei again.Expecting the two soldiers to ambush Zhang Fei, they want to besiege Zhang Fei; they don't want to be ambushed, but Wei Yan's elite soldiers arrive, drive into the valley, stop the vehicle on the mountain road, set fire to the vehicle, the valley is full of vegetation, smoke obscures the path, and the soldiers can't get out.Zhang Fei only cared about leading the army to fight, Zhang Yun was defeated, and desperately fought to open a way, walked up to Wakou Pass, gathered the defeated soldiers, and could not hold out.

Zhang Fei and Wei Yan continued to attack the pass for days.Seeing that it was no use, Fei retreated the army for 20 miles, but he and Wei Yan led dozens of riders to both sides to scout the path.Suddenly I saw a number of men and women, each carrying a small bag, climbing vines and vines on a remote mountain road.Feiyu immediately pointed to Wei Yan with a whip and said: "These people are the only ones who seize Wakou Pass."Then call the sergeant to pay: don't frighten him.It's a good idea to call those common people.The sergeant hurriedly called to the horse.Fei used kind words to reassure him, and asked him where he came from.The common people said: "A certain class is a resident of Hanzhong. Now I want to return the money. I heard that the army was fighting and blocked the official road in Langzhong. Now I pass Cangxi, enter Hanzhong from Zitong Mountain, and go back home."Fei said: "How far is this road from Wakou Pass?"The people said: From the small road of Zitong Mountain, it is behind Wakou Pass.Fei was overjoyed and brought the people into the stronghold, where they had food and wine; he paid Wei Yan: lead the troops to attack the pass, and I will personally lead Qingqi out of Zitong Mountain to attack the pass.Then he asked the people to lead the way, choose five hundred light cavalry, and enter from the small path.

But he said that Zhang He was depressed because he could not save the army.People reported that Wei Yan was attacking at the pass.Zhang Yun put on his horse, but was waiting to go down the mountain. Suddenly, he reported: "After the pass, there is fire on the four or five roads. I don't know where the soldiers are coming."He led his troops to meet him.When the flag opens, see Zhang Fei early.He was startled and hurried to the path.The horse was unbearable, and Zhang Fei was in a hurry to chase after him. He abandoned his horse and ran up the mountain, looking for a way to escape, and then he had to escape.There were only a dozen people accompanying him, and they entered Nanzheng on foot to meet Cao Hong.Seeing that there were only a dozen of Zhang Yun left, Hong said angrily, "I'll teach you to stop, and you'll take the following statement and go. If you kill all the soldiers today, you won't die yourself. What's the matter with you?"He ordered to launch and cut it left and right.Marching Sima Guo Huai remonstrated: "Three armies are easy to get, but one general is hard to find."Although Zhang He was guilty, he was the one loved by the king of Wei, so he should not be executed easily.You can take Jiameng Pass with five thousand soldiers, and mobilize the soldiers everywhere, and Hanzhong will be safe.If unsuccessful, both crimes will be punished.Cao Hong followed him, and with five thousand soldiers, taught Zhang Yun to take Jiameng Pass.He took the order and left.

But it is said that Meng Da and Huo Jun, the guards of Jiameng Pass, knew that Zhang He's soldiers were coming.Huo Jun just sticks to it.Meng Da decided to meet the enemy, led his troops to Xiaguan to confront Zhang Yun, and was defeated.Huo Jun rushed to Chengdu to apply for documents.When Xuande heard about it, he asked his military adviser to discuss it.Kongming gathered people in the hall and asked, "Jiameng Pass is urgent now. You must take Yide from Langzhong before you can retreat Zhang Yun."Fazheng said: "Now the Yide soldiers are stationed at Wakou and guarding Langzhong. It is also an important place and cannot be taken back."All the generals in the tent chose one of them to defeat Zhang He.Kongming said with a smile: "Zhang He is a famous general of Wei, and he can't be easily reached."Unless Yide, no one can be.Suddenly a person came out sharply and said, "Why does the military commander despise everyone?"Although I am not talented, I would like to decapitate Zhang Yun and offer it to my subordinates.It is the veteran Huang Zhongye who sees it.Kongming said: "Although Han Sheng is brave, but he is old, he may not be Zhang Yun's opponent."Zhong listened, and the white beard stood upside down and said: "Although a certain is old, he still has a bow of three stones in his arms, and he still has a thousand catties of strength in his body; isn't it not enough for Zhang He?Kongming said: "The general is nearly seventy years old, how can he not be old?"Zhongshi stepped down the hall, took the big knife on the shelf, and moved it like flying; the hard bow on the wall, pulled and folded two pieces.Kong Ming said: "The general is going, who will be the deputy general?"Zhong said: Veteran Yan Yan, you can go with me.But if there is danger, let's accept the white head first.Xuande was overjoyed and ordered Yan Yan and Huang Zhong to fight Zhang He.Zhao Yun remonstrated, saying: "Now that Zhang Yun personally violated Jiameng Pass, the military commander should take it as a trifling matter."If Jiameng is lost, Yizhou will be in danger.Why do you take the two veterans as this great enemy?Kongming said: "You think that the two of you are old and can't do anything. I guess Hanzhong must be in the hands of these two."Zhao Yun and others all smiled and retreated.

But when Huang Zhong and Yan Yan came to the gate, Meng Da and Huo Jun saw each other, and laughed in their hearts as Kong Mingjiu dispatched: "It's such an urgent place, how can we only teach two old people here!"Huang Zhong called Yan Yan and said, "Have you seen any movement from everyone?"He laughed at the old age of the two of us, and now we can make great achievements to win the hearts of the people.Yan Yan said: "I would like to listen to the general's order."The two agreed, and Huang Zhong led his troops to Xiaguan to face Zhang Yun.Zhang He went out and met Huang Zhong. He smiled and said, "You are so old, you still don't know how to be ashamed, and you still want to go out!"Zhong Nu said: "Zhuzi deceived me to be old!"The sword in my hand is not old!So he patted his horse forward and fought decisively with He.The two horses met, and they fought for more than 20 bouts. Suddenly, a voice came from behind: Yan Yan copied Zhang Yun's army from a small path.The two armies attacked, and Zhang He was defeated.After rushing overnight, Zhang He's troops retreated eighty or ninety miles.Huang Zhong and Yan Yan withdrew their troops into the stronghold, but they all stood still.Cao Hong heard that Zhang Yun had lost for a while, and wanted to see his crime again.Guo Huai said: "Zhang Yun was forced to go to the west of Shu; now we can send generals to help him, just like a prison, so that he will not have any external intentions."Cao Hong followed him, and dispatched Xiahou Dun's nephew, Xiahoushang, and Han Xuan's younger brother, Han Hao. The two of them led five thousand soldiers to help the battle.The second general set off at the same time, went to Zhang Ying's stronghold, and asked about the military situation.He said, "Veteran Huang Zhong is a hero; he also has a strict face to help, so don't underestimate the enemy."Han Hao said: I know the strengths and weaknesses of this old thief in Changsha.He sacrificed the city to Wei Yan and harmed my own brother. If we meet today, we will be rewarded.So he and Xia Houshang led the new army away from the stronghold.It turned out that Huang Zhong had been sentrying for days and knew the route.Yan Yan said: "There is a mountain here called Tiandang Mountain: in the mountain is the place where Cao Cao garrisoned grain and accumulated grass."If you get that place and cut off its food and grass, you can get it in Hanzhong.Zhong said: "The general's words are exactly what I want."But it's the same with me.According to Yan Yan's plan, he led an army by himself.

But Huang Zhong heard that Xia Houshang and Han Hao were coming, so he led the army out of the camp.Before the battle, Han Hao scolded Huang Zhong: You are a senseless old thief!Pat the horse and hold the gun, come to fetch Huang Zhong.Xia Houshang went out to attack.Huang Zhong fought hard against the two generals, each fighting more than ten rounds, Huang Zhong was defeated.The second general drove for more than 20 li and captured Huang Zhong's camp.Loyal and start a battalion.The next day, Xia Houshang and Han Hao rushed over, and Zhong went out again. The number of battles was close, and he was defeated again.The second general drove another twenty li, captured Huang Zhong's camp, and called Zhang He to guard the back camp.He came to Qianzhai to remonstrate, saying: "Huang Zhong has retreated for two days, and there must be some tricks in it."Xia Houshang scolded Zhang Yun and said: You are so timid, you can know that you have been defeated many times!Don't talk too much now, let's see the meritorious deeds of the two of us!Zhang He backed away in embarrassment.The next day, the two generals fought again, and Huang Zhong retreated another 20 miles; the two generals caught up in a hurry.The next day, when the two generals came out, Huang Zhong watched the wind and left: after losing several battles in a row, he retreated straight to the gate.The second general shuts down the stronghold, but Huang Zhong sticks out.Meng Da secretly issued a letter to report to Xuande, saying: "Huang Zhong has lost several times in a row, and now he is retreating at the gate."Xuande asked Kong Ming in a panic.Kong Ming said: "This is the strategy of the veteran's arrogant soldiers."Zhao Yun and others didn't believe it.Xuande sent Liu Feng to close the door to meet Huang Zhong.When Zhong met Feng, he asked Liu Feng, "What's the point of the little general coming to help you?"Feng said: "Father learned that the generals had been defeated several times, so he sent someone here."Zhong laughed and said: "This old man's strategy of arrogant soldiers."Look at tonight for a while, all the camps can be restored, and their food and horses can be taken away.This is borrowing the stronghold and Bitun to carry Chong'er.Leave Huo Jun to guard the pass tonight, and General Meng can bring food and horses with me.The little general watched me defeat the enemy.

It was the second watch of the night, and the Zhongyin five thousand army switch went straight down.It turned out that the two generals Xia Houshang and Han Hao had been slacking off after seeing that they could not get out of the gate for several days. Huang Zhong broke through the stronghold and entered directly.Wait until dawn, and win three villages in a row.Countless weapons and pommel horses were left in the village, and they taught Meng Da to carry them into the pass.Huang Zhong urged the army and horses to advance afterward.Liu Feng said: "The soldiers are tired, so they can take a rest."Zhong said: If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get tiger cubs?Horse riding is advanced.The soldiers all worked hard to move forward.Zhang Yun's soldiers were moved by their own defeated soldiers, and they couldn't hold on, so they looked back and left; they abandoned many fences and went straight to the Han River.

Zhang He found Xia Houshang and Han Hao and said, "This Tiandang Mountain is a place for grain and grass; it is also connected to Micang Mountain, and it is also a place for grain storage: it is the source of life for Hanzhong soldiers."If it is lost, there is no Hanzhong.When thinking about it, keep it.Xia Houshang said: My uncle Xia Houyuan divides troops to guard Micang Mountain, and it is directly connected to Dingjun Mountain, so don't worry.Tiandang Mountain is guarded by my brother Xia Houde, and we should go and vote for it, so we can protect this mountain.So Zhang He and the two generals went to Tiandang Mountain overnight to meet Xia Houde and speak about the past.Xia Houde said: "I am stationed here with 100,000 soldiers. You can lead them away and take back the original village."He said, "You should stick to it and not move rashly."Suddenly hearing the golden drum shaking in front of the mountain, people reported that Huang Zhongbing had arrived.Xia Houde laughed and said: "The old thief doesn't know the art of war, he only relies on his brave ears!"He said: "Huang Zhong has schemes, not just being brave."De said: "Sichuan soldiers came from far away, tired for days, and also went deep into the battlefield. This is not a plan."He said, "Don't underestimate the enemy either."And should stick to it.Han Hao said: I would like to use three thousand elite soldiers to attack them, and they will be able to defeat them all.Desui divided his troops and went down the mountain with Hao.Huang Zhong assembled his troops to meet him.Liu Feng remonstrated, saying: "The sun has sunk in the west, and the army has come from far away to work hard, and it is better to take a rest."Zhong laughed and said, "Otherwise: this is a gift from heaven, it would be against the heavens not to take it."After speaking, make a big noise.Han Hao led his troops to fight.Huang Zhong swung his saber straight at Hao, and cut Hao off his horse with one strike.The Shu soldiers shouted and came up the mountain to kill.Zhang He and Xia Houshang hurriedly led the army to meet them.Suddenly hearing the shout from behind the mountain, the flames shot up into the sky, and the upper and lower sides were red.When Xiahoude raised his troops to fight the fire, he met Yan Yan, an old general, who raised his sword and cut Xiahoude off his horse.It turned out that Huang Zhong had ordered Yan Yan to lead the army to ambush in a remote place in the mountains in advance. When Huang Zhong's army arrived, they came and put matches on the hay pile, and lit them together. The flames flew up and illuminated the valley.Yan Yanzhao beheaded Xia Houde and went to the back of the mountain to kill him.Zhang He and Xia Houshang couldn't look after each other, so they had to abandon Tiandang Mountain, Wangdingjun Mountain and go to Xiahouyuan.Huang Zhong and Yan Yan guard Tiandang Mountain, and Jieyin flies to Chengdu.When Xuande heard about it, he gathered people to celebrate.Fazheng said: In the past, when Cao Cao surrendered to Zhanglu and established Hanzhong, he did not use Tuba and Shu because of the situation, but left Xia Houyuan and Zhang He as guards, and led his own army back to the north: this is a miscalculation.Now that Zhang He is newly defeated and Tiandang is lost, if my lord takes advantage of this time to send a large army to conquer him in person, Hanzhong can be settled.Settle down Hanzhong, then train your troops to accumulate millet, watch the quarrel and wait for the gap, advance to hunt down thieves, retreat to defend yourself.This day and the time, can not be lost.

Xuande and Kongming were both deeply aware of this, so they ordered Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei to be the vanguards. Xuande and Kongming personally led 100,000 troops and chose a day to map Hanzhong;In the twenty-third year of Jian'an, it was an auspicious day in autumn and July.Xuande's army left Jiameng Pass and went to camp, called Huang Zhong and Yan Yan to the stronghold, and rewarded them generously.Xuande said: "Everyone says that the general is old, but the military master alone knows the general's ability."This fruit has made extraordinary achievements.But today Dingjun Mountain in Hanzhong is the protection of Nanzheng, where grain and grass are accumulated;Does the general still dare to take Dingjun Mountain?Huang Zhong generously agreed, and he wanted to lead the troops.Kong Ming said when he stopped urgently: "Although the old general is brave, Xia Houyuan is not as good as Zhang Yun."Yuan Shen has a good command of strategy and good military strategy, and Cao Cao relied on it as the cover of Xiliang Fan; first he stationed troops in Chang'an, but refused to Ma Mengqi; now he stationed troops in Hanzhong.Those who do not rely on others, but rely on Yuan alone, have general talents in Yuan.Although the general is victorious against Zhang He today, it is uncertain that he will be able to defeat Xia Houyuan.I want to consider going to Jingzhou alone to replace General Huiguan so that I can be the enemy.Zhong Fenran replied: In the past, Lianpo was eighty years old, and he still ate ten catties of rice and meat. The princes were afraid of his bravery and dared not invade Zhao Jie.The military master said that I am old, I don't need a lieutenant now, I only sent 3000 soldiers from my headquarters, cut off the head of Xia Houyuan immediately, and took them under my command.Kong Ming refused again and again.Huang Zhong just wanted to go.Kongming said: "General Xi is going, and I will send one person to go with him as the supervisor of the army. How about it?"It is exactly: Please use the aggressive method, young people are not as good as old people.It is unknown who the person is, let's see the breakdown below. ①Tuo Da means that he is arrogant and does not care because of his overconfidence. ② Lian Po was a general of Zhao during the Warring States period.
