 Chapter 62 of the main text: Taking Yang Gao from Fuguan as the first to attack Luocheng and Huang Wei for credit

------------------------

But Zhang Zhao offered advice and said, 'Let's stop mobilizing troops. If we start a new army, Cao Cao will return. It's better to write two letters: one letter to Liu Zhang, saying...'

Liu Bei allied with Eastern Wu and jointly took Western Sichuan, causing Liu Zhang to doubt and attack Liu Bei; A letter with Zhang Lu, instructing the troops to advance towards Jingzhou. Liu Bei's Head

The tail cannot be rescued. I will then raise an army to take it, and the situation will be harmonious. ”The right to follow is to send two orders to the end. Let's say Xuande is at Jiameng Pass

Over time, it has won the hearts of the people. Suddenly received a letter from Kong Mingwen. Madam Zhisun has returned to Dongwu. I heard that Cao Cao launched an attack on Ruxu, so I discussed it with Pang Tong

He said, "Cao Cao attacked Sun Quan. If Cao Cao wins, he will surely take Jingzhou, and if he wins, he will also take Jingzhou. What can we do about it?" Pang Tong said, "Your Highness, do not hesitate

Worried. With Kong Ming there, it is expected that Eastern Wu will not dare to invade Jingzhou. The lord can send a letter to Liu Zhang's place, only pushing Cao Cao to attack Sun Quan, and Quan seeks help

Yu Jingzhou. The land of lips and teeth between me and Sun Quan cannot help but support each other. Zhang Lu, the self proclaimed thief, will never dare to invade the world. I want to bring my troops back to Jing today

Zhou, together with Sun Quan, defeated Cao Cao and suffered from a shortage of troops and food. I hope to promote the friendship of the same sect, quickly send out 30000 to 40000 elite soldiers, and provide 100000 bushels of grain to help

Please do not make any mistakes. If you receive military horses, money, and food, but negotiate separately. ”

Xuande followed and sent people to Chengdu. Upon arriving at the pass, Yang Huai and Gao Pei learned of this matter and instructed Gao Pei to guard the pass. Yang Huai and the envoy entered Chengdu

Du, see the letter submitted by Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang finished reading and asked Yang Huai why she also came with him. Yang Huai said, "I came here specifically for this book. Since Liu Bei

Entering Sichuan and spreading benevolence to win the hearts of the people is not very meaningful. Today, we are seeking military horses, money, and food, but we must not agree. If you help, it's a salary

Assisting with fire. ”Liu Zhang said, "I have a brotherly relationship with Xuande, how can we not help

If Shu doesn't send, it's like a tiger entering the house. What's the difference between helping with military horses, money, and food now and adding wings to a tiger? ”Everyone looks at the person, it's Lingling Jiao

Yang, surname Liu, name Ba, courtesy name Zichu. Liu Zhang hesitated upon hearing Liu Ba's words. Huang Quan once again gave bitter advice. Zhang Nai allocated funds for the elderly, weak, and vulnerable soldiers

Thousands of meters and ten thousand chrysanthemums, sending letters and envoys to report Xuande. Still keeping Yang Huai and Gao Pei tightly guarding the pass. Liu Zhang's envoy went to Jiameng Pass to meet Xuande and presented

Go back to the book. Xuande was furious and said, "I have spared no effort to defend you against the enemy. You have accumulated wealth and are reluctant to reward me. How can you make your soldiers serve

Smash the book and start cursing loudly. The envoy fled back to Chengdu. Pang Tong said, "My lord only values benevolence and righteousness. Today, he destroyed the book and became angry

Abandoned completely. ”Xuande said, "So, what should we do?" Pang Tong said, "I have three strategies. Please choose your own path

Xuande asked, "What are the three strategies?" He replied, "We will select elite soldiers today and attack Chengdu day and night. This is the top strategy." Yang Huai and Gao

Pei was a famous general in Shu, and his strong troops resisted defending the passes; The current lord pretends to return to Jingzhou, and upon hearing this, the two generals will come to bid farewell; Just bid farewell

Capture and kill them, seize the pass, first take Fucheng, then move towards Chengdu: this is a clever plan. Return to the White Emperor and return to Jingzhou overnight,

Xu Tu Enterprising: This is the following plan. If you hesitate and don't go, you will be in great distress and beyond rescue. ”Xuande said, "The military advisor's plan is too hasty

Too slow calculation; It can be done without delay or illness. ”

So he sent a letter to Liu Zhang, saying only that Cao Cao ordered his general Le Jin to lead troops to Qingni Town, but the generals could not resist the enemy. I should personally go and reject them, but it was too late

Face to face meetings, special written speeches. When the book arrived in Chengdu, Zhang Song heard that Liu Xuande wanted to return to Jingzhou. He only said it was sincere, so he wrote a letter to express his desire

The person sent him to Xuande, but he was accompanied by his brother Zhang Su, the governor of Guanghan. He hurriedly collected books in his sleeve and spoke with Su. Su Jian Song was in a daze, lost in thought

I have doubts in my heart. Let's drink together with Su. During the offering, this book suddenly fell to the ground and was picked up by Su Cong. After the banquet, from person to person

The book is solemn. Observe it with caution. The book briefly says: 'Yesterday, Song gave a speech to Uncle Huang, and there was no falsehood or error. Why did he delay sending it out? It is ancient to take advantage of the situation and follow the rules.'

People are expensive. Why do you want to abandon this and return to Jingzhou now that you are in control of the current situation? Make the pine feel lost upon hearing it. The book is presented until the day,

Quickly advance the troops. Song Dang is an insider, do not make mistakes! ”Upon seeing this, Zhang Su was greatly surprised and said, "My younger brother must take the lead in the extermination of the family.

”Overnight, he presented a letter to Liu Zhang, stating that his younger brother Zhang Song conspired with Liu Bei to offer Xichuan. Liu Zhang was furious and said, 'I have never treated him unfairly in my daily life.'

Why do you want to rebel! ”So he ordered the capture of Zhang Song's entire family and executed them all in the city. There is a poem by later generations that laments: 'A clear view of what is rare in the world, who knows?'

Letters reveal the secrets of heaven. Before observing Xuande's rise to the throne, he first turned to Chengdu and stained his clothes with blood. ”

After Liu Zhang beheaded Zhang Song, he gathered together with civil and military officials to discuss, "What should Liu Bei do if he wants to seize my foundation?" Huang Quan said, "It's not too late.

Even if someone reports to various passes and adds troops to guard, no one from Jingzhou is allowed to enter the pass alone. ”Zhang followed his words, and at night, the stars raced through various levels

Go to the end. But when Xuande returned to Fucheng with his troops, he first reported to Fushui Pass and asked Yang Huai and Gao Pei to leave the pass to bid farewell. Yang and his sophomore will receive news reports

The discussion asked, "What should Xuande do this time?" Gao Pei replied, "Xuande will die together. We all have sharp blades hidden in our bodies, and we will stab them at the farewell spot,

Eliminate the troubles of our lord. ”Yang Huai said, "This is a great plan." The two of them only brought two hundred people with them and left the border to see them off, while the rest stayed behind

Up there.

The Xuande army is fully deployed. As he approached above the Fu River, Pang Tong immediately called out to Xuande, saying, "If Yang Huai and Gao Pei come with joy, we should be wary of them

If he doesn't come, then raise an army and take his pass without delay. ”Just as he was speaking, a whirlwind suddenly blew the "Handsome" flag in front of the horse

Down. Xuande asked Pang Tong, "What is this omen?" Tong replied, "This warning is that Yang Huai and Gao Pei must have intentions of assassination. It is appropriate

Be good at preventing it. ”Xuande was dressed in heavy armor and guarded with a precious sword. Yang and his second year of high school will come to see him off. Xuande ordered the troops to rest and stabilize.

Pang Tong divided and paid Wei Yan and Huang Zhong, saying, "But the soldiers who were locked up, no matter how many, should not be returned even to the cavalry and infantry soldiers

Let's go.

But Yang Huai and Gao Pei each kept sharp blades by their side, led two hundred soldiers, and brought sheep and wine to the front of the army. Without preparation, in my heart

Secretly pleased, thought it was a trick. Entering the tent, I saw Xuande and Pang Tong sitting in the tent. The second general's voice said, "Upon hearing that Uncle Huang has returned from afar, it is particularly remarkable

Sending small gifts to each other. ”Then he drank to persuade Xuande. Xuande said, "It's not easy for the two generals to guard the pass. They should drink this cup first." After the two generals finished drinking, Xuande

De said, "I have a secret matter to discuss with the second general. The idle people should retreat." He then brought two hundred people and drove them out of the central army. Xuande shouted:“

Capture the two thieves with me! ”Liu Feng and Guan Ping rushed out of the tent in response. Yang and his sophomore are in urgent need of a fight, and Liu Feng and Guan Ping have each caught them

One person. Xuande drank and said, "My lord and I are brothers of the same clan. Why did you two conspire and sow discord between us?" Pang Tongqie searched around him

Beside them, indeed, each found a sharp blade. Tong Bian drank and beheaded two people; Xuande is still undecided and said, "The two of them originally intended to kill my lord,

a thousand deaths will not atone for one 's crime. ”Then he ordered the swordsman to slay Yang Huai and Gao Pei in front of the tent. Huang Zhong and Wei Yan had already captured two hundred followers themselves, but never

I left one. Xuande called in, each giving wine to suppress shock. Xuande said, "Yang Huai and Gao Pei have separated my brothers and hidden sharp blades to stab them, so

Execution and slaughter. You are innocent, there is no need to doubt. ”Everyone, thank you. Pang Tong said, 'I will use you and others to lead our army to pass through the pass.'.

Each has a heavy reward. ”Everyone agreed. Two hundred people will lead at night, followed by a large army. The former army urgently called out, "The second general has an urgent matter to attend to

Quick switch. ”It sounds like our own army in the city, just turn on the switch instantly. A large army rushed in without bloodshed and captured Fuguan. Shu soldiers

All decrease. Xuande each received a heavy reward and then divided the troops into front and rear guards. The next day, the labor army held a banquet in the public hall. Xuande was drinking heavily, and Gu Pangtong said:

Can today's meeting be a source of joy? "Pang Tong said," To enjoy the war against a country of people is not a weapon for the benevolent

It is said that in the past, King Wu conquered Zhou and made music for his achievements. Isn't this also the kind of military tactics used by benevolent people? What is wrong with what you say? Quick retreat! ”Pang Tong laughed heartily

Get up. Left and right also helped Xuande into the back hall. Sleep until midnight, sober up. Left and right, inform Xuande with the words of Pang Tong. Xuande's great regret; the next morning

Wearing clothes and ascending to the hall, Pang Tong apologized and said, "Yesterday, I was drunk and my words were offensive. Fortunately, I don't mind." Pang Tong laughed and chatted calmly. Xuande said:

Yesterday's words, only I have made mistakes, "Pang Tong said.

But when Liu Zhang heard that Xuande had killed Yang and Gao Er generals and attacked Fushui Pass, he was shocked and said, "Unexpectedly, this happened today

Ask for a retreat strategy. Huang Quan said, "You can send troops to garrison Luo County overnight and block the throat road. Although Liu Bei has elite soldiers and fierce generals, he cannot pass through

Also. ”Zhang then ordered Liu Cong, Ling Bao, Zhang Ren, and Deng Xian to lead a 50000 strong army to defend Luo County at night to resist Liu Bei. The Four Generals' Expedition

Next time, Liu Fan said, "I heard that there is a strange person in Jinping Mountain, with the Taoist name Zixu Shangren, who knows the value of life and death. Our generation is marching today, and they are

Passing through Jinping Mountain. Why not try asking it? ”Zhang Ren said, "How can you ask the people in the mountains and wilderness when a great man sends troops to resist the enemy

Otherwise. As the sage said, the way to sincerity can be known beforehand. We ask wise people to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune

Fifty or sixty rode to the foot of the mountain and asked the path woodcutter. The woodcutter pointed out that on the top of the high mountain, it was the dwelling place of the superior. Four people went up the mountain to the front of the temple and saw one

Child welcome. I asked for the name and introduced it to the temple. I saw Purple Void sitting on top of Pudun. Four people bowed down and asked about their future prospects. purple

Xu Shangren said, "I am a useless person in the mountains and wilderness. How can I forgive myself?" Liu Cong repeatedly bowed and asked. Zi Xu then ordered Dao Tong to take a pen and paper and write down eight notes

Words, addressed to Liu Cong. The text says: 'Left dragon, right phoenix, fly into the Western River. The young phoenix falls to the ground, and the lying dragon ascends to heaven. One gain, one loss, heaven.'

Number of course. Act on the opportunity, do not lose sight of the Nine Springs. ”Liu Cong asked again, "What is the qi count of the four of me?" The person above Zixu replied, "A fixed number

Cannot escape, why ask again! ”When asked again, the superior lowered their eyebrows and closed their eyes, as if they were asleep, and did not agree. Four people descended the mountain.

Liu Cong said, "Do not believe the words of the immortal." Zhang Ren said, "What good is it to listen to this crazy old man?" Then he mounted his horse and walked forward.

After arriving in Luo County, we will allocate troops and guard various passes and passes. Liu Cong said, "Luocheng is the guarantee of Chengdu. Without it, Chengdu will be difficult to protect.

The four of us discussed and decided to have the two of us defend the city. The two of us will go to the front of Luo County, facing the mountains and dangers, and set up two fortresses to prevent enemy soldiers from approaching the city. ”

Ling Bao and Deng Xian said, "I am willing to go to Jiezhai." Liu Cong was overjoyed and divided his army of 20000, and together with Ling and Deng, they went sixty miles away from the city to the fortress.

Liu Cong and Zhang Ren guarded the city of Luo.

But Xuande, having obtained the Fushui Pass, discussed with Pang Tong to advance towards Luocheng. Liu Zhang dispatched four generals to come, with Lingbao and Deng Xian leading 20000 on the same day

The army is 60 miles away from the city and has established two large fortresses. Xuande gathered a group of generals and asked, "Who dares to build a head skill and go get the second general's fortress?" General Huang

Zhong responded and said, "I am willing to go." Xuande said, "The old general leads his troops to advance to Luocheng, and if they obtain Lingbao and Deng Xian, they will

The camp deserves a heavy reward. ”

Huang Zhong was overjoyed and immediately led his troops, thanking them for their departure. Suddenly, someone under the tent came out and said, "The old general is tall, how can he get there

Not willing to go. ”Xuande regarded it as Wei Yan. Huang Zhong said, "I have already received the command, how dare you assist Yue?" Wei Yan said

The old man does not rely on his muscles and bones. I have heard that Ling Bao and Deng Xian are famous generals in Shu, with strong blood and vigor. I am afraid that the old general will not be able to approach him, won't he

Did you miss out on a major matter, my lord? Therefore, willing to replace each other was originally a good intention. ”Huang Zhong was furious and said, "Do you dare to compare my martial arts skills with me when you say I'm old?

”Wei Yan said, "Before the lord, let's have a face-to-face competition. If we win, let's go. What's the point?" Huang Zhong then stepped down and called for the small school general

The knife! Xuande urgently stopped and said, 'No! I am raising an army to capture Sichuan today, relying entirely on the strength of you two. If two tigers fight against each other now, there will be one injury.'.

I must have missed a big event. I advise you two not to argue. ”Pang Tong said, "There is no need for you two to argue. That is, today's Lingbao and Deng

Xian has established two camps. Now you two lead their own troops and horses, each fighting a fortress. If the first one wins, it will be the first achievement. ”So it was decided

Huang Zhong attacked Lingbao Village, while Wei Yan attacked Deng Xianzhai. The two of them each took orders to go. Pang Tong said, "These two people are afraid of arguing on the way. Master

The public can lead their own army as a backup. ”Xuande left Pang Tong to defend the city and led 5000 troops with Liu Feng and Guan Ping to advance afterwards.

But it was said that Huang Zhong returned to the village and ordered to prepare food for the fourth shift of the next day. After the fifth shift, Pingming advanced and took the left valley to advance. Wei Yan secretly instructed others

Inquire about Huang Zhong's frequent uprisings. The informant reported, "Tomorrow we will prepare food on the fourth watch and raise troops on the fifth watch." Wei Yan secretly liked it and divided the soldiers into two

Make more food, raise troops on the third day, and Pingming will go to the edge of Deng Xianzhai. Soldiers are ordered to have a hearty meal, horses pluck bells, people carry medals, and flags are rolled up

Jia, secretly rob the fortress. Before and after the third shift, leave the fortress and move forward. Halfway there, Wei Yan immediately thought to himself, 'It's not obvious that we can only go and attack Deng Xianzhai.'

It's better to go and attack Lingbao Fortress first, but we will defeat the victorious soldiers and attack Dengxian Fortress. Both achievements are mine. ”Immediately issue the order to teach the army

Shidu is heading towards the left mountain road. The sky is slightly clear, not far from Lingbao Village. Teach the soldiers to rest less, and arrange golden drums, flags, flags, guns, knives, and equipment.

Long ago, a small army from Fulu flew into the fortress, and Lingbao was already prepared. With a gunshot, the three armies mounted their horses and killed their generals. Wei Yanzong Ma Tidao

Engage in battle with Lingbao. The two generals exchanged horses and fought until the 30th battle. The Sichuan army split into two routes to attack the Han army. The Han army left in the middle of the night, exhausted from manpower and power,

Unable to resist, step back and leave. Wei Yan heard the commotion behind his back, curled his cold buds, and rode his horse back. The Sichuan army arrived later, and the Han army arrived

Defeated. Less than five miles away, the sound of drums shook the ground behind the mountain. Deng Xian led a large army to intercept from the valley and shouted, "Wei Yan, quickly dismount and accept

Drop it! ”Wei Yan galloped his horse, but suddenly the horse lost its front hoof and knelt down, lifting Wei Yan down. Deng Xian rushed over and stabbed with a gun

Wei Yan. The gun was not everywhere, the bowstring rang, and Deng Xian fell off his horse. Later, Lingbao Fang was about to come to rescue, and a general leaped from the hillside

Come on, let out a loud shout: 'General Huang Zhong is here!' Dance the knife straight to the bud. Unable to resist the enemy, Lingbao looked behind and left. Huang Zhong took advantage of the situation to pursue

Hurry up, the Sichuan army is in chaos.

Huang Zhong's army saved Wei Yan, killed Deng Xian, and rushed straight to the front of the fortress. Ling Bao and Huang Zhong fought again. Less than ten units, the army behind

Ma Yong was about to approach, but Ling Bao had to abandon the left fortress and lead the defeated army to defect to the right fortress. I saw all the flags in the village bidding farewell, and my ears were startled. Riding a horse

When he looked at it, the top general, wearing a golden armor and robe, was Liu Xuande, with Liu Feng on the left and Guan Ping on the right. He shouted loudly, "I have already passed the village

Take it, where do you want to go? ”Originally, Xuande led troops from behind to take over Deng Xianzhaizi. Lingbao has no way at both ends, and the mountain is remote

The path leads back to Luocheng. Less than ten miles away, the ambush suddenly rose up on the narrow road, hooked up and raised the hooks together, and captured Lingbao alive. It turned out to be Wei Yanzi

Knowing the crime, there is no explanation. Pack up the rear army and let the Shu soldiers lead the way. Lie here and wait for the right one. Tie the cold bud with a rope and release it into the mysterious realm

Dezhai is here. It is said that Xuande raised the banner of exemption from death, but those who defected from the Sichuan army were not allowed to be killed, and those who were injured paid their lives; He ordered the troops to surrender again

He said, "All the people of Ruchuan have parents and wives. Those who wish to surrender will be sent back to the army, while those who do not wish to surrender will be released." So the cheers moved the audience. Huang Zhong'an goes to the foot of the fortress

He came straight to meet Xuande and said that Wei Yan had violated military orders and could be executed. Xuande urgently summoned Wei Yan, who then released Ling Bao. Xuande said, "Although Yan

Guilty, this merit is redeemable. ”Let Wei Yan thank Huang Zhong for saving his life, and there will be no further disputes in the future. Wei Yan bowed his head in guilt. Xuande highly rewards Huang Zhong

He ordered someone to escort Lingbao to the tent, and Xuande untied him, giving him wine to suppress his shock. He asked, "Are you willing to surrender?" Lingbao replied, "Since you have been spared from death

How can we not lower it? Liu Fan, Zhang Ren, and a certain person are life and death friends; If you are willing to release someone back, immediately recruit two people to surrender and offer the city of Luo. ”

Xuande was overjoyed, so he gave clothes and a Pommeled Horse to return to Luocheng. Wei Yan said, 'This person cannot be released. If he escapes, he will never come back.'.

”Xuande said, "I treat others with benevolence and righteousness, and no one will disappoint me

But Lingbao had to go back to Luocheng. When he saw Liu Cong and Zhang Ren, he didn't say he was captured and released, but only said, 'I killed more than ten people, captured horses and escaped.'

Go back. ”Liu Fan quickly sent people to Chengdu for help. Upon hearing that Deng Xian had been defeated, Liu Zhang was greatly shocked and hastily gathered a group for discussion. The eldest son Liu Xunjin said:

My son is willing to lead troops to defend Luocheng, "Zhang said." Since my son is willing to go, who should be sent as a supplement? "One person went out and said," I am willing to go

Zhang regarded him as Wu Yiye of his uncle's family. Zhang said, "It's best to have your uncle respected. Who can be the deputy general?" Wu Yibao, Wu Lan, and Lei Tong were two people

Deputy General, at 2 o'clock, all the troops and horses will arrive at Luocheng. Liu Cong and Zhang Ren continued, elaborating on the previous events. Wu Yi said, "With troops at the city gates, it is difficult to resist the enemy

What insights do you have? ”Lingbao said, "In this area, we are right next to the Fujiang River, where the water is very fast. The village in front occupies the foot of the mountain, and its shape is the lowest

A certain beggar sent five thousand troops, each with shovels and hoes, to conquer the waters of the Fujiang River, which could drown all of Liu Bei's soldiers. ”Wu Yi followed his plan and ordered Ling

Bao went to Jueshui, and Wu Lan and Lei Tong led troops to support him. Ling Bao took the order and prepared the water breaking equipment on his own.

But Xuande ordered Huang Zhong and Wei Yan to each guard a fortress, and they returned to Fucheng to discuss with their strategist Pang Tong. The detailed report states: 'Sun Quan of Eastern Wu sent people.'

Make up with Zhang Lu from Dongchuan and prepare to attack Jiameng Pass. ”Xuande exclaimed, "If Jiameng Pass is lost and the rear path is cut off, I will be unable to advance or retreat,

What should it be like? ”Pang Tong said to Meng Da, "Gong is a native of Shu and knows a lot about geography. How about guarding Jiameng Pass?" Da replied, "I am a certain Bao

Going alone with someone to guard the border is foolproof. ”Who does Xuande ask. Da said, "This person was once a Zhonglang general under Liu Biao in Jingzhou,

He is from Zhijiang, Nainan County, with the surname Huo, the given name Jun, and the courtesy name Zhongmiao. ”Xuande was overjoyed and immediately sent Meng Da and Huo Jun to guard Jiameng Pass. Pang Tong

Returning to the building, the gatekeeper suddenly reported, "A guest has come to visit us." They went out to greet him and saw that he was eight feet long and had a very majestic appearance; Hair cutting

Short, draped around the neck; The clothes are not very neat. The general asked, "Sir, who is there?" The person did not answer and went straight to the hall to lie on the bed. unify

Doubtful about it. May I ask again. The person said, "Let's calm down. I should tell you that I know all the important things in the world

Drinking and eating. He eats from scratch without humility; There is a lot of food to eat and then sleep. Doubts and uncertainties arise, causing people to face them with caution and fear

It's meticulous work. Fa Zheng hurriedly arrived. Tong Chui greeted him and said, "There is someone like this." Fa Zheng said, "Could it be that Peng Yongyan is speaking

Huh? ”Elevate the perspective. The person jumped up and said, "Filial piety, do not come without kindness! It is precisely because the people of Sichuan have met old acquaintances that the Fu River has stopped flowing

After all, who is this person? Let's see the breakdown in the following text.
