[Listen to this. 】
[Huangfu Song felt a little ashamed. 】
[Looking back at Zhu Jun, he said: "Yan Zhong is open-minded and open-minded, but we are not as good as him!"]
[Zhu Jun said: "Yan Zhong's words are reasonable. Since Xuande came here with great righteousness, we should help him. Otherwise, wouldn't it make the heroes of the world feel cold?"]
[Huangfu Song nodded when he heard the words, then called Liu Bei to come closer and said: "Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao are exhausted, so they must defect to Guangzong and follow Zhangjiao. I will support three thousand soldiers and horses, and Xuande can go to help at starry night." Liu Bei After receiving the order, he led his troops to march. Yanzhong was standing by and said, "Your Excellency Yizhen (Huangfu Song's word Yizhen) is superior. I am not talented, so I would like to go with Xuande!" Huangfu Song smiled and said, "If Yanzhong is willing to go, great things will come true!" Zhu Jun also said He said: "If Yanzhong wants to go, I have a school captain here. He is from Tuyin, Youbeiping. His surname is Cheng Pu, and his courtesy name is Demou. He is useful. You might as well take him with you." Yanzhong was overjoyed when he heard this and thanked him. The second Duke led the army away with Liu Bei. 】
[It is said that Yan Zhong led three generals, Cheng Pu, Shi Huan, and Li Tong, and five thousand men and horses to go with Liu, Guan, and Zhang. Not long after they left Yuzhou, they headed towards the territory of Jizhou. 】
[One day, when the soldiers and horses were marching to the road, the scouts in front reported: "The bandit troops ahead are holding Guncheng County. There is a slope to the south of the county called Xinglin Slope, and there are also bandit soldiers controlling it!" Yan Zhong asked: " Do you know the number of thieves?" The scout said: "There are 150,000 thieves in Guncheng County, and 50,000 thieves on Xinglin Slope. The thieves chief has two leaders, one is called Zhang Niujiao, and the other is called Chu Feiyan. ”]
[When Yan Zhong heard this, he looked around at the crowd and asked: "Who is willing to lead the battle?" Liu Bei said: "I am not good at preparing, but I am willing to lead the army!" Yan Zhong said: "How many troops and horses does Xuande need?" Liu Bei said: "Only We only need three of my brothers and three hundred cavalry!" Yan Zhongzhuangzhi then led his troops forward to the stronghold. Liu Bei led Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and three hundred cavalry to continue moving forward. 】
[Liu Bei led his army forward, waded across the river, and asked the scouts: "How far is this place from Xinglin Slope?" He replied: "About fifteen miles." Liu Bei said to the generals: "I will wait until we reach Xinglin Slope, and then How about some rest?" Guan and Zhang held their hands together and said, "I'm willing to listen to my brother's orders!" Then the army moved forward. 】
[But it is said that Chu Feiyan, also known as Zhang Yan, was from Zhending in Changshan, and his real surname was Chu. 】
[At that time, the Yellow Turbans broke out, and Feiyan gathered young men to form a group of thieves. They attacked in the mountains and swamps and plundered Zhending, with more than ten thousand people in total. Later, he visited Boling Zhang Niujiao and worshiped Zhang Niujiao, the Tiangong general, as his disciple. He called himself a general and followed Zhang Niujiao around him. Nowadays, the horns of oxen raid Jizhou and attack the city, and the flying swallows follow them. After Kagon City, Niujiao garrisoned the city. In order to defend against the Han army in the south, he sent General Feiyan to garrison Xinglin Slope to defend against the enemy. 】
[On this day, people reported the arrival of Han troops. Feiyan then summoned the generals to discuss the matter and asked: "I heard that Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun defeated Bo Cai, and now they are sending troops to the north to attack Guangzong. We, as a barrier, are about to resist here. I don't know which general is willing to go." Want to find out the truth?" Before he finished speaking, Sun Qing and Wang Dang both stepped forward to ask for orders. 】
[Feiyan was very happy to see this, and immediately ordered Wang Dang to lead a thousand Qingqi to the south of Xinglin Slope and set up a stronghold. The king accepted the order and left. 】
【Not long after. 】
[Liu Bei's soldiers and horses are in a stalemate with Wang Dang. 】
[When the king saw that Liu Bei's troops were sparse, he raised his whip and laughed loudly, saying: "How dare those rabble come to fight against Naigong?" Liu Bei replied loudly: "We are not here to fight, but to obey the emperor's decree." He also issued an edict of amnesty. Except for those who have committed treason and killed the emperor's appointed officials, all will be pardoned. If those are against the will, their yellow scarves will be removed, they will wear the national flag, be granted the title of wife, and receive heavy rewards from high-ranking officials. Those who resist will be killed!" Wang Dang Hearing this, he was furious and ordered his troops to fight. 】
[The thieves were so powerful that they rushed to kill them like waves. On Liu Bei's right, Zhang Fei rode out, spinning his eight-foot-long snake spear like a flywheel. They clashed back and forth several times, and the rebel army could not move forward. 】
[Wang Dang was furious, so he slapped his horse and wielded his sword, and attacked Zhang Fei. Fei shouted loudly and mounted his horse to attack. The two swords and spears were raised together, fighting without three. The flying tiger roared and stabbed the king under the horse. When the rebels in front of the formation saw this, they shouted in fear and opened fire. Zhang Fei rode alone and traveled freely among the bandits, but no one dared to challenge him. A thousand thieves were defeated from then on. 】
[Moreover, Chu Feiyan was sitting alone in the tent when he suddenly saw a man running away. He knelt down and reported: "General, there is trouble!" Feiyan said: "How can trouble happen?" He said to him: "Now the vanguard of the Han army has arrived, and the leader is One of the generals was so brave that Wang Dang couldn't resist him. He was killed by the Han generals and a thousand light cavalry were wiped out!" Feiyan was shocked when he heard this and quickly led his bandits to fight. At the same time, he wrote a letter and flew it to Guncheng, asking Zhang Niujiao to send troops. support. 】
[It is also said that Yan Zhong waited for Liu Bei to move forward to fight, but he did not send a military report for a while, but reported Zhang Fei's success in beheading the general. Yan Zhong was overjoyed, so he encouraged him more and ordered all his troops to help Liu Bei. 】
[In a few days, the two armies met. Liu Bei said to Yan Zhong: "Although we won for a while, the thieves were very powerful. We only have a few hundred soldiers and horses. We cannot attack by force, so we ask for the public's help." Yan Zhong smiled and said: "Xuan De's matter is for It's a matter of state! I will do my best to help you!" While he was talking, the scouts outside reported: "The leader of the rebel army is arrayed to fight." Yan Zhong said, "In that case, we will go and meet him for a while!" Liu Bei promised. The two then ordered their troops and horses and went out of camp to form an array. 】
[Go to the front of the formation. 】
[Yanzhong inspected the enemy's stronghold, the enemy's towers and war sheds, buried antlers deep, dug trenches, and saw that the stronghold was covered with wood and cannon stones. He pulled up the suspension bridge, lowered the pallets, and arranged the layout in a very particular way. 】
[Seeing this, Yan Zhong said to Liu Bei: "The leader of this village is very capable of using troops, so he should not be underestimated." Liu Bei sighed: "But he can't be used by the country!"]
[While he was talking, the golden drums on the opposite side were blaring, and the thieves separated on both sides. Chu Feiyan took the lead, drew his gun, and yelled curses. 】
[Seeing this, Yanzhong looked around at the crowd and said, "Who is willing to fight?" Before he finished speaking, Cheng Pu appeared from behind, cupped his hands and said, "Young general has just arrived and has not made any achievements yet, so he is willing to fight!" Yanzhong nodded slightly. Cheng Pu then mounted his horse with an iron-spine snake spear and flew to the front of the formation. 】
[Cheng Pu went out and shouted loudly: "I am here with the emperor to issue an edict for pardon. If you surrender to pardon, you will be exempted from all crimes, and you will be promoted to an official position and rewarded heavily. If you don't surrender, you will be killed at the same time!" Feiyan was furious when he heard this! Angry, he pointed at Cheng Pu and cursed: "How dare you, the hawks and dogs of the imperial court, to attack me?" After saying this, he suddenly ran over with his gun drawn, his horse drawn. 】
[Cheng Pu saw Feiyan approaching and roused himself to fight. The two spears were raised simultaneously, and the fight lasted for thirty or forty rounds, with no distinction between superior and inferior. When the battle reached the depths of the battle, Feiyan saw that Cheng Pu was not fighting, so she came up with a plan. She feinted a shot, turned her horse and ran away. After leaving, just as Cheng Pu was about to come, he secretly took the bow and arrow in his hand, turned around, looked at Cheng Pu, and shot at him. 】
[Cheng Pu saw Feiyan walking away and was on guard. When the arrow was coming, he ducked past his ear. 】
【At this moment. 】
[Feiyan's hidden arrow angered a general in the Han army. This man shouted loudly: "General Cheng, please rest a little while I come and kill this guy who hurts people with hidden arrows!" Before he finished speaking, he galloped out on horseback and went straight to the front of the formation to kill him. 】
