Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 265

On May 10,000th, the imperial court's army to suppress Wang Qing arrived one after another. Duan Pengju, the leading vanguard, and Chen Zhu, the deputy vanguard, each led people's horses, and arrived first.

Thirty miles north of Wancheng, there is a Huangshi Mountain, which is the easternmost peak of the Funiu Mountains. , North Wudang.

Duan and Chen, two vanguards, saw the majesty of this mountain, and said happily: "After passing here, from Wancheng to Xiangfan, the plain is vast and there is no danger to defend. If the bandits attack on a large scale, wouldn't it be a big disaster? The two of us How about leaning against this mountain and building a stronghold, waiting for the Prime Minister’s army, just to cut down more big trees to prepare for making siege equipment, and the Prime Minister came to see that we are well-prepared, wouldn’t it be a compliment?”

The two agreed to this plan, boasted a lot, and now joined forces to form a big village at the foot of the mountain, and ordered the soldiers to go up the mountain to cut trees and pile them all in the village.

The two of them rejoiced. They learned that there were two bandit generals, Ban Ze and Zhang Shou hiding in the high mountain, and they brought hundreds of elite bandit archers, all of them were hiding in the Taoist temple on the mountain. At this moment, they saw the Song army camping , said happily: "Liu Huanqi deserves to be called 'Uncle Zhi' in vain. He really has a clever plan. How did he predict that the Song army would set up a camp here?"

At that moment, he sent people down the mountain quietly, and quickly went to Wancheng to report.

It turned out that not long after Liu Min took down Wancheng, he heard that the imperial court raised troops, led by Tong Guan, to conquer. Most of them built a stronghold in Fangcheng Mountain to wait for the army. Now that the vegetation is luxuriant, why don't I use a fire plan to burn his former army first to destroy the enemy's courage.

So I went to get off work in advance, General Zhang, and five hundred archers were on the mountain. At this moment, I heard the report from the spies on the mountain, saying that pioneers of the Song army had built a camp at the foot of the mountain. I was overjoyed: "This is really a way to heaven. In the past, Zhuge Kongming sent three fires out of the mountain, burning a name that will last forever, and today I, Liu Zhibo, should be famous!"

Immediately reward the spy with a big silver coin, let him go back quickly, order Ban Ze and Zhang Shou to follow the plan, stay until sunset by themselves, leave Gu Cen and Han Fan to guard the city, and personally lead Lu Cheng, Zheng Jie, Kou Meng's three lieutenants and soldiers left the city, dressed in soft battle clothes, horses picked up luan bells, and rushed to Huangshi Mountain on the moon and stars.

By the third watch, all the soldiers in the Song camp were fast asleep, and the few night watchmen were also in low spirits. They wished that their successors would arrive immediately so that they could meet Duke Zhou.

Outside the camp, in the darkness beyond the reach of torches and lanterns, the eyes of the bandit soldiers gradually glowed fiercely.

Two generals, Ban Ze and Zhang Shou, led five hundred subordinates to sneak down the mountain. Each of them had a basket on his back. Two feet of twine.

I saw these thieves lined up in a row, taking advantage of the mountain's condescension, twirling the hemp rope a few times, throwing out their hands, and throwing bottles and jars far into the Song camp, which happened to be the felled trees piled up in the back camp. Some of them were thrown far, hitting the top of the tent and landing, the bottles and jars were shattered, and kerosene dripped all over the ground.

The night patrolling Song army heard the sound of the rear camp, and hurriedly looked at it, but saw small fires dotted on the mountain behind, and then at the sound of the bowstring, rockets flew like meteors, ignited the kerosene, and the flames burned to the sky.

When the fire broke out, the Song camp exploded in chaos. The two pioneers, Duan Pengju and Chen Zhu, woke up in a start. The Song army who went to put out the fire shot and killed dozens of them, and the chaos in the camp became more and more chaotic.

At this time, the southeast wind was blowing, and the fire continued to spread, and the piled up trees rolled down, turning everything they passed into a sea of ​​flames.

Seeing that the fire was in danger, Duan and Chen made a quick decision and decided to abandon the camp. They were busy rectifying the soldiers and horses, only to hear the roar outside the camp, and how many bandit soldiers came to kill them.

Duan Pengju was startled and said, "What should I do if I have an enemy on my back?" Chen Zhu gritted his teeth and said, "What else can we do? You and I will try our best to open a bloody road. When the army of the Prime Minister arrives, it will not be too late to take revenge."

Immediately the two shouted loudly: "Anyone who doesn't want to be a ghost from a foreign land, follow me and kill them."

Poor those Song soldiers, most of them have no armor or weapons, and rushed out following the general in a panic.

Chen Zhu took the lead to open the way, and shouted: "Chen Zhu, the supervisor of Zhengzhou soldiers and horses, is here! Anyone who stands in the way will die!" With a big knife in his hand, he swung vigorously and killed more than ten bandit soldiers in a row.

Seeing the bravery of General Song, Kou Meng, the deputy general of the bandits, shouted loudly and brandished a rake to fight. The two fought back and forth three or four times. Come help me?" Before he finished speaking, Duan Pengju caused Niutou to disturb the opponent's nail rake, and Chen Zhu slashed Kou Meng's head with all his strength.

Seeing that Kou Meng had been defeated, Liu Min couldn't help being furious, and shouted: "The defeated general is still acting fierce!" Calling Lu Cheng and Zheng Jie, the three of them came together to block, Chen Zhu beat his chest and shouted: "I am in a desperate situation!" , it is time to repay the king with a deadly battle!"

Duan Pengju was infected by his arrogance, and felt a rush of spirit in his chest that was so close to Tianling, he laughed loudly and shouted: "Good man! Today, my brothers will live and die together!"

After finishing speaking, he grabbed the horse's belly hard, and the war horse suddenly jumped forward. Duan Peng raised his feet and stepped on the stirrups to stand up, and shouted angrily: "Rebel, today I will teach you to recognize General Duan!"

The bull's head in his hand stabbed like lightning, he came fast and stabbed in a hurry, Lu Cheng was a little slow to resist, he opened two bloody holes with one stab, and fell off the horse's back somersaulting.

Duan Peng raised his hand to kill the enemy general, he was so proud that he took Liu Min and Zheng Jie in a circle with his weapon, and they clanged for seventeen or eight times, feeling a bit overwhelmed, suddenly thought: Huh?Why hasn't Chen Zhu arrived yet?
Turning his head and looking, there was smoke in the seven orifices for a moment - it turned out that Chen Zhu took advantage of the enemy general being blocked by him, and rushed to the west where there were few people, and he was about to break out of the encirclement.

Duan Pengju held his breath in his chest, felt his hands and feet were trembling and weak, he gritted his teeth and thought: So this guy is such a villain, my life was harmed by him for nothing.

Liu Min rolled his eyes, waved the weapon in his hand, and swung Zheng Jie's spear back, sneering: "You idiot, your companions have abandoned you, why don't you surrender to the king of Chu, not only to save your life, but also to be ashamed."

Duan Pengju died in his own way, when he suddenly heard that the opponent wanted to surrender, he quickly dropped his weapon and shouted: "I am willing to surrender."

Liu Min smiled and said, "You can only show your sincerity by calling your subordinates to surrender."

Duan Pengju nodded repeatedly, turned his head and shouted: "Brothers from Suizhou, my old Duan has surrendered to the King of Chu now. If you don't want to die in vain, you can surrender with me."

When he shouted, not only his Suizhou soldiers and horses surrendered, but also Chen Zhu's Zhengzhou soldiers and horses also surrendered.

When Chen Zhu heard it from a distance, his liver and gallbladder were torn, and he turned around and cursed: "Duan, you bastard, just wait until the whole family is copied and executed."

Duan Pengju scolded back: "You bastard who sells robes, wait for me to follow the King of Chu to destroy Song Dynasty and kill your whole family with my own hands."

After finishing speaking, he jumped off his horse and picked up the weapon, and said to him: "General, give me a team. If you don't kill this thief, you will feel hard."

Liu Min stroked his beard, shook his head and said: "That guy is also an idiot, even if he goes west, he won't be able to return to the army for a while, so what are you doing with him? I will ask you, Tong Guan Dajun, where is he now?"

Duan Pengju said: "Based on the distance, we should stay in Ye County."

A cold light flashed in Liu Min's eyes: "Ye County is only four or fifty miles away...General Duan, this general Liu Min, known as Liu Zhibo, is a Hushi general under the command of the King of Chu, Zhiyong Hou! Now you have made great achievements, you If you are willing to achieve it, it will be no problem to be named a marquis and a general in the future."

Duan Pengju's face was cloudy when he heard this, he thought for a while, then he gritted his teeth suddenly: "Liu Huqi, but are you going to cheat Kaiye County?"

Liu Min looked at him in surprise, shook his head and said with a smile: "Zhoucheng is afraid that it will be too late, I mean so and so, so and so, are you willing to do it?"

After Duan Pengju listened, he nodded heavily and said: "Since I have become a courtier of the King of Chu, I have no choice but to feel sorry for the old robes!"

Liu Min laughed loudly, stretched out his hand to pat Duan Pengju and said, "General Duan, those who know the current affairs are outstanding. After this achievement, how can the King of Chu treat you lightly?"

Now remember the results of the battle. In this battle, more than Song soldiers were killed or injured, more than soldiers were killed with Chen Zhu, and the remaining soldiers all surrendered.

Liu Min ordered Duan Pengju to select four 500 people from his confidants, and the rest taught Chen Jie to lead 2000 people back to Wancheng. The soldiers in the headquarters had a full meal and drove to Ye County.

Thirty miles away, the sky was already bright, and there was a short mountain beside the road, called Matou Mountain. The five-mile slope below the mountain was the only way from Ye County to Wancheng. Liu Min hid the army in Matou Mountain Afterwards, Ban Ze ordered 3000 people, among the bandit soldiers, to change into Song military uniforms and mix with Duan Pengju's queue.

During this period, two groups of messengers passed from Ye County, which were used by the former army and the Chinese army for daily contact, and were captured and killed by Duan Pengju.

At three poles in the sun, Tong Guan's army slowly came from Ye County. Because the messenger had gone and did not return, Tong Guan was a little hesitant.

Not long after, someone came to report: "At Wulipo, we met the vanguard army who was defeated. Duan Peng, the deputy vanguard, reported that the vanguard Chen Zhu had colluded with Wang Qing and caused turmoil in the camp at night. There were Hussar generals under Wang Qing's command outside. Liu Zhibo responded, and Duan Pengju led his headquarters in Suizhou to fight to the death, and only people were able to escape."

Tong Guan was shocked when he heard the report, and hurriedly ordered to speed up his march to meet him.The herald was waiting to deliver the order, when suddenly not far away, Cao Cao, who was following Liu Yanqing, shouted loudly: "You can't do it, the Prime Minister! For the ride."

Tong Guan frowned when he heard this, and his expression was not good. Several trusted staff officers around him were furious immediately, pointing at Cao Cao and said: "Commander, the three armies will follow. military law."

When Lu Junyi and the others heard the words, their weapons were tight in their hands. Cao Cao's face remained unchanged, and he said loudly: "I deeply appreciate the gift of kindness from the lord, so I will not avoid misfortune and good fortune, so I will remonstrate with good words. Prime Minister, my life and death are small, but the army Success or failure depends on one action.”

When Tong Guan heard this, his complexion became more and more serious. The cronies next to him were about to call for someone to take Cao Cao, but Tong Guan stopped him with his hand, and called Cao Cao to come forward: "Tell me, how can there be deceit?"

Cao Cao stepped forward unhurriedly, and said eloquently: "Prince Shu, I will report back on the horse. The way is that Chen Zhu colluded with Wang Qing to cause chaos. In this case, why didn't Chen Zhu coax Duan Pengju into the tent and kill him first, saving a lot of trouble?" ?”

Tong Guan nodded slowly, but a trusted aide next to him sneered and said, "That's absurd! That Chen Zhu, the military commander of the state, colluded with Wang Qing, so you can see that he is stupid. Since he is an idiot, he doesn't do things confidentially, which is normal. "

Cao Cao didn't even look at the fellow, nodded his head and said, "Even if Chen Zhu is stupid, please think about it, the Prime Minister, if the chaos comes from within, the enemy surrounds the outside, and the internal and external attacks, if you are prepared and unintentional, the overlord is alive. Lü Bu was reborn, and at most he only saved himself, but he was able to lead three thousand soldiers out, isn't it strange?"

The confidant said angrily: "What kind of status are you, and you are worthy of guessing about the general?"

Cao Cao seemed to have never heard of it, and said again: "The most important thing is that even if others are exhausted and can't make it to Ye County for a while, now that the scouts have arrived, he is a defeated general. If he doesn't follow him to plead guilty, how dare he wait for the prime minister to visit him? "

The confidant opened his mouth, his face flushed instantly.

Tong Guan nodded, pondered for a moment, and asked: "Since we have seen through it, is there a countermeasure?"

Cao Cao said: "He only has 3000 people, how dare he rush into the army? I expect there must be ambushes nearby, and the prime minister will call for scouting horses to inquire. Are there hills or dense forests around Duan Pengju? If so, there must be ambushes."

Tong Guan called to explore the horse and asked, and there was indeed a horse head mountain nearby. Cao Cao said: "Needless to say, the ambush must be behind the mountain. If this is the case, the prime minister might as well do this, such and such."

After finishing speaking, Tong Guan looked up to the sky and laughed loudly. After laughing, he looked at Cao Cao, nodded and said, "The thieves and soldiers are nothing more than mobs, and I will not be happy if I break them. Therefore, those who are happy are talents like you! What is your surname?"

Cao Cao laughed and said, "My surname is Wu Mingzhi."

Tong Guan recited it twice silently, nodded and said: "Wu Zhi, you should work hard for a certain family, and a certain self will recommend your future."

He turned his head and called Liu Yanqing: "Director Liu, since this general is under your command, I will leave this battle to your department."

Liu Yanqing clasped his fists in great joy: "The last general obeys the order!"

Immediately led Cao Cao back, ordered 10,000 people from the headquarters, and moved in two ways. Tong Guan led the army by himself and then moved slowly.

Cao Cao followed Liu Yanqing, took Sun An, Geng Gong, and led 3000 people to Wulipo, and saw Duan Pengju's more than men sitting in a neat line.

Cao Cao glanced at it, and laughed loudly: "Duan Dujian, the defeated army is so neat, it seems that you have won the battle."

Duan Pengju panicked, squinted his eyes and shouted: "Who are you? What do you know? If it wasn't for my ability to manage the army well, how would I be able to kill him if I was trapped internally and externally?"

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Don't act anymore, Chen Zhu has already made it clear that you are the one who surrendered Wang Qing."

Duan Pengju said in shock: "Impossible! He's clearly heading west, how could he be so fast...Ah! You lied to me."

Ban Ze jumped up beside him and cursed: "Duan, you idiot, how do you become a high-ranking official? Brothers, follow me to kill officers and soldiers!"

Three thousand thieves jumped up at the same time, shouting in their mouths to kill them.

Sun An said angrily: "After seeing through your tricks, how dare you come to touch the tiger's whiskers?" The horse rushed out first, and met Ban Ze. Slashing, head and shoulders of Banze, slashing half of his body to the ground, rushing into the enemy without stopping, and the two swords stirred up a bloody storm.

Duan Pengju's face was as white as paper, and he said in a hateful voice: "Since I don't let me live, I will drag you to die with me!" He hated Cao Cao for exposing his plot, and shot at Cao Cao with a bull's head, Geng Gong shouted, and stepped forward to block it with his gun In the fight, Cao Cao waved his big lance and led three thousand soldiers and horses straight into the opponent's formation. Although the three thousand bandits were selected, they defeated the generals and frustrated their spirits when they came up. Sun An was an invincible warrior. One entered through the formation, with a ferocious appearance, which made people feel frightened, and was smashed by Cao Cao's leading troops, and immediately fell apart.

When Liu Zhibo heard the news from the back of the mountain, his complexion changed drastically and he said: "I actually saw through my trick. There must be capable people in the Song army. That's all, since he is prepared, how can we fight when we are outnumbered?" 7000 people retreated first."

Before he finished speaking, he heard someone yelling loudly from behind: "Huaixi thief, do you recognize Western Army Po Han Wu?"

There are different teachings: Bo Zhi set fire to the vanguard, and pursued the victory to make meritorious deeds.Phrases tell the story of a fraudulent strategy, and all calculations come to naught.
