Chapter 84 The Eighty-third Chapter of the Battle of Xiaoting, the First Master Wins the People of Jiangkou, and the Scholars Worship the General

But it is said that in the first month of spring in the second year of Zhang Wu, Huang Zhong, the later general of Wuwei, followed the predecessor to attack Wu.Wu Ban connected with Zhang Nan and Feng Xi, and asked, "What's wrong with the old general here?"Zhong said: I have worked hard since I was with the emperor in Changsha.Although he is now over seventy years old, he still eats ten catties of meat, can hold a bow of two stones in his arm, and can ride a horse of a thousand mile, so he is not old enough.Yesterday the Lord said that we are old and useless, so we came here to confront Soochow, and watch me kill the generals, I am not old!

In the middle of the speech, it was suddenly reported that the front of the Wu soldiers had arrived, and the sentry horse was approaching the camp.Loyalty rises up, out of the tent and on horseback.Feng Xi and others persuaded: "Old general, don't advance lightly."Loyalty does not listen, and gallops away.Wu Ban ordered Feng Xi to lead troops to help in the battle.Loyal in front of the Wu army, reining in his horse and slashing his sword, fighting alone with Pan Zhang, the vanguard.Zhang Yinbu released the historical sites.He bullied Zhong, an old man, and went out to fight with a gun; when he couldn't fight well, he was cut off by Zhong under the horse.Pan Zhang was furious, and swung Guan Guan's dragon sword to fight Huang Zhong.There is no winner or loser if the number of horses is matched.Zhong fought hard, but Zhang expected that he would not be able to defeat him, so he pulled his horse and left.Zhong took advantage of the momentum to chase and kill, and returned with a complete victory.Lu Feng Guan Xing, Zhang Bao.Xing said: "I am here to help the old general under the imperial decree; I have made a contribution, please return to the camp quickly."Loyalty does not listen.

The next day, Pan Zhang came to fight again.Huang Zhong mounted his horse excitedly.Xing and Bao wanted to help the war, but they were loyal; Wu Ban wanted to help, but he was loyal;After the battle was over, Zhang dragged his sword and left.Loyalty chased after him with his horse, and shouted sharply, "The thief will leave!"I'm now Guan Gongbao!After chasing for more than 30 miles, there were loud shouts from all sides, and the ambush soldiers came out: Zhou Tai on the right, Han Dang on the left, Pan Zhang in front, and Ling Tong in the back, trapping Huang Zhong in Gaixin.Suddenly there was a strong wind, and when Zhong retreated in a hurry, Ma Zhong led an army out on the hillside, and an arrow hit Huang Zhong in the shoulder, almost falling off his horse.When Wu soldiers saw Zhong Zhong hit the arrow, they all came to attack.Suddenly there was a loud shout from behind, the two armies came to kill, Wu soldiers broke up, and Huang Zhong was rescued by Guan Xing and Zhang Baoye.The second junior escorted Huang Zhongjing to the imperial camp.Faithful old man with blood failure, arrow sores and painful cracks, very seriously ill.The former master Yujia came to see him, stroked his back and said: "It's my fault to slander the old general!"Zhong said: "The minister is a warrior, and I am lucky to meet your majesty."The minister is seventy-five years old this year, and his life span is long enough.I hope His Majesty will protect the body of the dragon and use the original picture!After speaking, I fell unconscious.It was night and died in the imperial camp.Later generations have poems sighing:

The veteran said Huang Zhong, who made great contributions to Sichuan.He is heavily clad in gold mail, and has double iron tire bows.The courage frightens Hebei, and the prestige town is in the middle of Shu.At the point of death, his head is like snow, and he still shows himself as a hero. Seeing that Huang Zhong was dying, the first master mourned unceasingly, ordered a coffin to be buried in Chengdu.The Former Lord sighed and said: Three of the five tiger generals have died.I still can't get back together, it's so painful!Nai led the Yulin Army to Xiaoting, assembled all the generals, divided the army into eight groups, and advanced by land and water.The waterway ordered Huang Quan to lead the army, and the first master led the army to march on the dry road: it was also in the middle of February in the second year of Zhangwu.

When Han Dang and Zhou Tai heard that the First Lord was coming to conquer, they led their troops out to meet them.When the two battles were facing each other, Han Dang and Zhou Tai went out, and saw the flags at the gate of the Shu camp opened.When he shouted, "Your Majesty is now the Lord of Shu, why should you take it lightly?"If there is danger, how late is regret!The former master pointed and scolded from a distance: You wait for Wu dog, you hurt my brothers and feet, and swear not to stand between heaven and earth!When looking back at the generals, they said: "Who dares to confront the soldiers of Shu?"Xia Xun, the general of the Ministry, went out with a gun.Behind the former master, Zhang Bao held out his eight spears, rode out on his horse, shouted loudly, and went straight to Xia Xun.Seeing that the sound of buds was like thunder, Xun was frightened; just as he was about to leave, Zhou Ping, Zhou Tai's brother, saw that Xun couldn't resist the enemy, so he swung a knife and rode his horse.When Guan Xing saw him, he jumped on a horse and raised a knife to meet him.Zhang Bao yelled, stabbed Xia Xun with a spear, and knocked him off his horse.Zhou Ping was shocked, caught off guard, and was beheaded by Guan Xing.The second young general will take Han Dang and Zhou Tai.Han and Tuesday retreated into the battle in a panic.The first master saw it, sighed and said: "The tiger father has no dog son!"With a finger of the imperial whip, the Shu soldiers all covered and killed them, and the Wu soldiers were defeated.The eighth route soldiers were surging like a spring, and the corpses of the Wu army they killed were all over the field, and their blood flowed like a river.

But he said that Gan Ning was recuperating in the boat, and when he heard that there were a large number of soldiers from Shu, he got on his horse in a hurry. Wang Shamoke was born with a bloody face and protruding blue eyes. He has a barbed wire bone and two bows in his belt. He is full of majesty.Gan Ning saw that he was so powerful, he didn't dare to confront him, so he pulled his horse away; Shamoke shot him in the head with an arrow.Ning walked away with an arrow, arrived at the entrance of Fuchi, sat under a big tree and died.There are hundreds of crows on the tree, surrounding his corpse.When the King of Wu heard about it, he was deeply saddened. He buried him with lavish ceremonies and set up a temple to offer sacrifices.Later generations have poems sighing:

Gan Xingba in Wu County, Jinman Zhou in the Yangtze River.Reward your confidant, reward your friends and turn your enemies.Jiezhai will light cavalry and drive troops to drink Juou.The god crow can show the holy, and the incense will last forever. But it is said that the first master took advantage of the situation to pursue and kill him, so he won Xiaoting.Wu Bing fled in all directions.The First Lord withdrew his troops, but Guan Xing was nowhere to be seen.The First Lord panicked and ordered Zhang Bao and others to follow him around.It turned out that when Guan Xing entered the Wu formation, he met Pan Zhang, a soldier, and immediately pursued him.Zhang was shocked and ran into the valley, not knowing where he was going.Xing Xingsi is only in the mountains, and I can't find it when I go back and forth.Look at the night, lost and lost.Fortunately, there is light in the stars and the moon.After chasing to the remote mountains, it was already two o'clock.Go to a village, dismount and knock on the door.An old man came out and asked who it was.Xing said: "I am a general. I got lost here and asked for a meal to satisfy my hunger."The old man introduced it, lit candles in the Xingjian hall, and painted the statue of Guan Gong in the center.Xing cried and worshiped.The old man asked, "Why does the general cry and worship?"Xing said: "This is also my father."When the old man heard the words, he bowed down.Xing said, "Why do you support my father?"The old man replied: This place is a place where gods are respected.On the day of birth, every family serves, let alone today is a god?The old man only hopes that the soldiers of Shu will report their defeat early.Now that the general is here, the people are blessed.Then put wine and food on the table, unload the saddle and feed the horse.

After the third watch, another person knocked on the door suddenly.The old man came out and asked, "Wu general Pan Zhang also came to stay here."As soon as he entered the thatched cottage, Guan Xing saw him, pressed his sword and yelled, "Don't leave the rebels!"Zhang turned around and went out.Suddenly a person outside the door, with a face like a jujube, Danfeng eyes, crouching silkworm eyebrows, three beautiful beards, green robe and gold armor, entered with a sword.When Zhang saw that it was Guan Gonghao, he let out a loud cry, and his mind was shaken. When he was about to turn around, Guan Xing raised his sword and fell to the ground.Xing got his father's Qilong Yanyue knife, but put Pan Zhang's head under the collar of the horse. After resigning from the old man, he rode Pan Zhang's horse and came to the camp.The old man dragged out Pan Zhang's body and burned it.

Let's talk about Guan Xing's journey for countless miles, when he suddenly heard people talking and horses neighing, a Biao army arrived; the first general was Ma Zhongye, the general of Pan Zhang's department.Zhongjian Xing killed the chief general Pan Zhang, and put his head under the horse's neck; Xinglong Dao was used again; he was furious, and rode his horse to take Guan Xing.Seeing that Ma Zhong was harming his father, Xing was so angry that he raised his dragon knife to look at him and cut him down.The three hundred troops under Zhong Zhong stepped forward together and surrounded Guan Xing in Gaixin with a shout.Xingli is alone in danger.Suddenly I saw a Biao army coming from the northwest, it was Zhang Bao.When Ma Zhong saw the reinforcements coming, he hurriedly led the troops back.Guan Xing and Zhang Bao came together.After a few miles, Mi Fang and Fu Shiren led troops to look for Ma Zhong.The two armies met and fought a melee.Bao and Xing had few soldiers, so they retreated in a hurry, returned to Xiaoting, came to see the former Lord, offered their heads, and made a statement.The First Lord was amazed and rewarded the three armies.

But he said that Ma Zhong met Han Dang and Zhou Tai when he came back to collect the defeated army and guard them separately.Sergeant wounded countless.Ma Zhong led Fu Shiren and Mi Fang to Tunza in Jiangzhu.At three o'clock that night, all the soldiers were crying.Mi Fang heard it secretly, and a group of people said: We are all soldiers of Jingzhou, and our lord was killed by Lu Meng's trick. Now that Uncle Liu Huang is personally marching, Soochow will end sooner or later.Those I hate: Mi Fang and Fu Shiren.Why don't I kill these two thieves and go to Shuying to surrender?No small credit.Another group of soldiers said: Don't be impatient, wait for a moment, and then start.

After hearing this, Mi Fang was shocked, so she discussed with Fu Shiren and said: "The morale of the army has changed, and our lives are in danger."The person that the Lord of Shu hates today: Ma Zhonger; why not kill him, and present his head to the Lord of Shu, and say: I have no choice but to surrender to Wu, and now I know that Yujia came here to plead guilty.Ren said: "Don't do it: there will be disaster if you go."Fang said: "The lord of Shu is lenient and benevolent; now Prince Adou is my nephew, but he only thinks of our country's relatives, and he will not do harm."The two of them have decided to prepare the horse first.At three o'clock, Ma Zhong was assassinated in the account, and his head was cut off. The two of them led dozens of horsemen and came straight to Xiaoting.The ambush soldiers first introduced Zhang Nan and Feng Xi, and explained what happened.The next day, I went to the imperial camp to see the former lord, offered Ma Zhong's head, and cried to the front, saying: "I really have no resentment; I was tricked by Lu Meng, saying that Guan Gong was dead, so I opened the city gate, and I had no choice but to do so." drop.Today, I heard that Shengjia came to kill this thief, with the hatred of His Majesty Xue.Fu begging His Majesty to forgive the crimes of ministers and others.The former master said angrily: "I have been away from Chengdu for a long time, why don't you two come to plead guilty?"Today's situation is critical, so I came to speak cleverly, wanting to save my life!If I forgive you, when you go to the Nine Springs, how can you see Guan Gong!After speaking, Guan Xing was ordered to set up Guan Gong's spiritual seat in the imperial camp.The first master held Ma Zhong's head in person, and made sacrifices in front of him.He also ordered Guan Xing to strip Mi Fang and Fu Shiren of their clothes, kneel before the spirit, and personally cut them with a knife to sacrifice to Guan Gong.Suddenly Zhang Bao went to the tent and cried and worshiped in front of him, saying: "The second uncle and everyone have been killed; when will I report the injustice of my father?"The First Lord said: "My virtuous wife, don't worry: I will flatten the south of the Yangtze River, kill all the dogs of Wu, capture the two thieves, and sacrifice them to your father in person."Weeping thanks and retreating. At this time, the former master's mighty voice was so loud that all the people in the south of the Yangtze River were frightened and cried day and night.Han Dang and Zhou Tai were shocked, and rushed to the king of Wu, saying that Mi Fang and Fu Shiren had killed Ma Zhong and returned to the Shu Emperor, who was also killed by the Shu Emperor.Sun Quan was timid, so he gathered civil and military officials to discuss.Bu Zhi said: "Those whom the Lord of Shu hates are Lu Meng, Pan Zhang, Ma Zhong, Mi Fang, and Fu Shiren."Today, all these people are dead, except for Fan Jiang and Zhang Da, who are now in Soochow.Why don't you capture these two men, take Zhang Fei's head, send envoys back to Jingzhou, and send them back to your wife, ask for peace, meet again, and plan to destroy Wei together, then the soldiers of Shu will retreat.Quan followed his words, so he made a wooden box of agarwood, stored flying heads, bound Fan Jiang and Zhang Da, and imprisoned them in a sill car. But he said that the First Lord wanted to send troops forward.Suddenly Jinchen said: Soochow sent envoys to send the head of Zhang Qiqi, and imprisoned Fan Jiang and Zhang Da.The first master raised his forehead with both hands and said: This gift from heaven is also from the spirit of the third brother!He ordered Zhang Bao to set up the flying spirit position.First, he saw Zhang Fei's head in the box without changing his expression, and wept loudly.With a sharp knife, Zhang Bao cut Fan Jiang and Zhang Dawan into pieces and sacrificed his father's spirit. After the sacrifice, the First Lord was furious and determined to destroy Wu.Ma Liangzuo said: "All the people are slaughtered, and their hatred can be wiped out."Doctor Wu Cheng Bing came here, intending to return Jingzhou, send his wife back, make an alliance forever, plan to destroy Wei together, and wait for the imperial edict.The Former Lord said angrily, "I gnash my teeth, but Sun Quan is the one who cuts my teeth."If we make peace with him today, we will lose the alliance with our second brother.Today, Wu will be destroyed first, and Wei will be destroyed next.So he wanted to kill the envoy, in order to cut off Wu's feelings.Many officials complained to avoid it.Cheng Bing ran away with his head in his arms, and played back to Lord Wu, saying: Shu will not make peace, and vows to destroy Soochow first, and then attack Wei.All the ministers are bitter and refuse to listen, what can they do? Quan was shocked and bewildered.Kan Ze came out of the class and said: "Seeing the Pillar of Optimus, why not use it?"Quan urgently asked who.Ze said: "In the past, Zhou Lang was appointed as Zhou Lang for major events in Eastern Wu; later Lu Zijing replaced him; after Zijing's death, it was decided by Lu Ziming; although Ziming is dead today, Lu Boyan is seen in Jingzhou.Although the name of this man is a Confucian scholar, he is actually a man of great talent and general plan. According to his ministers, he is not under Zhou Lang;If the Lord can use it, it will surely break Shu.If there is a mistake, the minister is willing to share the same crime.Quan said: "It's not the words of Derun, it's just a few big mistakes."Zhang Zhao said: "Lu Xun is a scholar, not Liu Bei's opponent; I'm afraid he can't use it."Gu Yong also said: "Lu Xun was young and underestimated, and he was afraid that the princes would not accept it; if he did not accept it, disasters and chaos would occur, and major events would be missed."Bu Zhi also said: "Impoverished talents are worthy of governing the county; if you entrust big things, it is not appropriate."Kan Ze shouted, "If Lu Boyan is not used, the Eastern Wu will die!"The minister is willing to protect it with the whole family!Quan said: "I have always known that Lu Boyan is a genius: I have decided my loneliness, so please don't say anything." So he called Lu Xun.Xun's real name was Lu Yi, but he later changed his name to Xun, and his style name was Boyan.It is eight feet long and has a face like beautiful jade.The official leader is General Zhenxi.Called now.After paying homage, Quan said: "Now that the soldiers of Shu are approaching the border, Gu Te ordered the governor's army and horses to defeat Liu Bei."Xun said: "Jiangdong civil and military are all old ministers of the great king; the ministers are young and have no talent, how can they be restrained?"Quan said: Kan Derun used his whole family to protect the Qing, and he knew the talents of the Qing alone.Now I worship you as the governor, please don't refuse.Xun said: "If the civil and military are not convinced, what should I do?"Quan took the sword he wore and said to him: "If there is anyone who does not obey the order, cut it first and then play it."Xun said: "Hemeng entrusts you so much, dare you not ask for your life?"But begging the king will gather all the officials in the coming day, and then bestow the ministers.Kan Ze said: "The general ordered by the ancients must build an altar and congregation, give Bai Yan a yellow axe, seal and ribbon military amulet, and then order him to be suppressed."Now the great king should follow this ceremony, choose a day to build an altar, pay homage to Bo Yan as the governor of the great governor, and pretend to be a festival, and everyone will be convinced.Quan Congzhi ordered people to build the altar overnight, and assembled all the officials, invited Lu Xun to ascend the altar, and worshiped him as the governor of the right guard army and the general of Zhenxi. , Chu Zhulu army horses.The king of Wu ordered it: "Within the room, the solitary master will rule; outside the room, the general will control it." Xun led the order to go down to the altar, ordered Xu Sheng and Ding Feng to be guards, and went out at the sun;When the documents arrived at Xiaoting, Han Dang and Zhou Tai were shocked and said: "How can the Lord use one scholar to lead the army?"Everyone is not convinced when they are inferior.When Xun raised his account to discuss matters, everyone reluctantly participated in the congratulations.Xun said: "The lord ordered me to be a general to oversee the army and defeat Shu."There are common laws in the army, and the public and others should abide by them.Those who violate the law have no relatives, so don't regret it.Everyone is silent.Zhou Tai said: Sun Huan, the general of Anton, is the lord's nephew. He sees that he is trapped in the city of Yiling, with no food and grass inside, and no rescue soldiers outside;Xun said: I always knew that Sun Andong won the hearts of the army, and he would be able to stick to it. There is no need to rescue him.After I break through Shu, he will leave by himself.Everyone laughed secretly and retreated.Han Dang called Zhou Tai and said: "Order this child to be a general, and Dongwu Xiuyi will see what he did?"Tai said: "I'll try it out with words. Is there any way to defeat Shu?" The next day, Lu Xun issued an order, instructing the generals to guard everywhere, guard the pass, and not to underestimate the enemy.Everyone laughed at his cowardice and refused to stick to it.The next day, Lu Xun raised his tent and called the generals, saying: "I hereby accept the king's order. The governor and the army have issued repeated orders yesterday to order you to stand firm everywhere. Why don't you obey my orders?"Han Dang said: "Since General Sun pacified the south of the Yangtze River, I have fought hundreds of battles; the rest of the generals, either from the rebellious general or from the current king, are all brave and stubborn men who were born and died."Today, the lord ordered the public to be the governor of the great governor. He ordered the retreat of the Shu soldiers. It is advisable to make a plan early, allocate the army and horses, and march separately, in order to plan a big event;I am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, how can I let us down?So all the generals under the tent said in response, "General Han's words are true, and we are willing to fight to the death!"After hearing this, Lu Xun held his sword in his hand and said sharply: "Although the servant is a scholar, he is now entrusted with a heavy responsibility by the Lord. It is because I have the size to take it, and I can bear the humiliation."All of you should guard the pass, firmly hold the dangerous point, and do not move rashly.Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed!Everyone retreated angrily. But it is said that the First Lord deployed his army and horses from Xiaoting to Chuankou for seven hundred li in a row, with forty camps front and back, with banners covering the sun during the day and fire shining at night.Suddenly, he made a detailed report saying: Soochow used Lu Xun as the governor, and the general army and horses.Xun ordered all the generals to guard against danger and not come out.The Former Lord asked, "How is Lu Xun like a human being?"Ma Liangzuo said: "Although Xun was a scholar in the Eastern Wu Dynasty, he was young and talented, and he had a deep strategy; the previous attack on Jingzhou was all due to this person's tricks."The former master was furious and said: "Zhu Zi conspired and harmed my second brother. He should be arrested now!"Then he sent an order to enter the army.Ma Liang said: "Lu Xun's talent is no less than that of Zhou Lang, so don't underestimate the enemy."The Former Lord said: I am old in using soldiers, so I am not as good as a yellow-mouthed child!Then he personally led the former army and attacked all the Guanjin passes. When Han Dang saw the first soldier coming, he sent someone to report to Lu Xun.Xun was afraid that Han Dang would act rashly, so he hurriedly flew his horse to watch. He saw Han Dang standing on the mountain immediately, watching the Shu soldiers coming from all over the mountains and plains, and there were faint yellow umbrellas in the army.Han Dang followed Lu Xun and watched at the same time.Dang pointed out: "There must be Liu Bei in the army, and I want to attack him."Xun said: Liu Bei raised his troops to the east, won more than ten battles in a row, and his spirit was in full swing;However, it is advisable to reward the soldiers and widely spread defensive strategies in order to observe the changes.Now he is galloping among the plains and wide fields, and he is gaining his ambition; if I can't stick to it, he can't seek a fight, so he will move to the mountains, forests and trees.I should win it by a miracle. Although Han Dang promised, he just refused to accept it.The former master sent the front team to fight, insulting Baiduan.Hun ordered to stop listening, not to go out to meet him, personally traversed all the passes, comforted the soldiers, and ordered them to stick to it.Seeing that Wu Jun was not coming out, the First Master felt restless.Ma Liang said: "Lu Xun has a deep plan. Now your Majesty has come to fight from afar, from spring to summer; if he doesn't come out, he wants to wait for changes in our army: I hope your majesty will find out."The First Master said, "What's his plan?"But the ear of the enemy is timid: the opponents have been defeated many times, and dare to come out again today?Feng Xizou, the pioneer, said: "It's hot today, the army is stationed in the red fire, and it is inconvenient to get water depth."The First Lord then ordered all the battalions to be moved to a place with lush mountains and forests, near the stream and the stream; after summer and autumn, they will march forward with all their strength.Feng Xi followed the order and moved all the villages to a place with dense trees.Ma Liangzuo said: "If our army moves, if Wu soldiers arrive suddenly, what can we do?"The First Lord said: I ordered Wu Ban to bring more than ten thousand weak soldiers to live near Wuzhai on the flat ground; I personally selected eight thousand elite soldiers to lie down in the valley.If Lu Xun knew that I was moving the camp, he would take advantage of the momentum to attack, but Wu Ban would feign defeat; if Lu Xun came after me, I would lead the troops to stand out and cut off his way back, and the boy could be captured.Both civil and military congratulated and said: Your Majesty has a clever plan, and all the ministers can't match it! Ma Liang said: I recently heard that Prime Minister Zhuge was looking at various passes in Dongchuan, fearing that Wei soldiers would invade.Why don't your majesty draw pictures of the places where the camps moved and ask the prime minister?The Former Lord said: I also know the art of war quite well, why bother to ask the prime minister again?Liang said: There is an ancient saying: Listen to both and you will be enlightened, but you will be blinded by partial listening.I hope His Majesty will observe it.The First Master said: You can go to each camp by yourself, draw four to eight picture books, and go to Dongchuan to ask the prime minister.If there is any inconvenience, please report immediately.Ma Liang took the order and left.So the Former Lord moved his troops to escape the summer heat in the shade of the forest.Han Dang and Zhou Tai have been reported to Han Dang and Zhou Tai for a long time.When they heard this, they were overjoyed. They came to see Lu Xun and said: "At present, there are more than forty battalions of Shu soldiers, all of which have moved to the dense mountains and forests.The governor can take advantage of the false attack.It is exactly: the Lord of Shu has a strategy and can set up an ambush, and the soldiers of Wu are brave and will be captured.I don't know if Lu Xun can listen to his words or not, let's see the breakdown below. ① An ancient weapon made of iron or hardwood.One end is a handle, and the other end is oblong with iron thorns attached to it. ② 醢 originally refers to meat sauce, here it means to make meat sauce.
