Zheng Anping actually wanted to accomplish this feat very much, but he was worried about Hu Yang's safety and did not dare to take away his personal guards. Seeing Hu Yang's order, he carefully checked the north bank of Huan River. It seemed that there was no ambush, so he decided to take a risk with his personal guards. He observed the terrain by the river and found a route that could covertly approach Zhao Jun. He called the personal guards and gave some personal instructions, asking everyone to see his actions clearly and act accordingly.
Under the leadership of Zheng Anping, a hundred guards quickly jumped up, fell down, and moved forward. Although Zheng Anping was very careful, due to the long distance, he was discovered by Zhao Jun on the ship when he was approaching. Zhao Jun blew the trumpet on the boat, and Zhao Jun on the shore turned back. Sima Jin, who had been waiting for this moment for a long time, beat the drum and all the battalions rushed out together. Zhao Jun had no intention of fighting, so he rushed back all the way and hurriedly boarded the ship. When Zheng Anping saw Zhao Jun boarding the ship, he was afraid that Hu Yang would be missing something, so he hurriedly led his guards to retreat. Sima Jin's army arrived soon after, and shot out bursts of arrows, knocking down many Zhao soldiers. The rest got on the boat, set sail in a hurry, and went downstream along the river. Hu Yang stood at the head of the bridge and saw the boat going downstream, thinking deeply.
After Zheng Anping came back, Hu Yang looked at the sky and said, "It's dawn and I want to visit Dr. Sima. Please follow me."
Zheng Anping said: "Here!" He immediately sent someone to run to the Sima camp to inform him that he wanted to visit the doctor. Then let these wounded soldiers stay at the bridge and not stay away; if anyone approaches without orders, shoot them! Another person was sent to report back to Ye Ling, and another person was sent to report back to Wang Lu. Hu Yang was now in Doctor Sima's camp.
Hu Yang waited patiently for Zheng Anping to finish his work before he started walking. Not far away, I saw Sima Jin leading more than a hundred people to greet him. Sima Jin complained: "The base camp was attacked, and the thieves have not been exhausted yet, so how can the commander come in person!"
Hu Yang said: "I was on the bridge, watching the doctor kill the thief with his hands, and I didn't feel my heart moved, so I came to visit."
Sima Jin was shocked. He pointed at the bridge behind Hu Yang and said, "Are you going to watch it in the middle of the night?"
Hu Yang said: "Of course!"
Sima Jin said: "It's very dangerous! I see that these thieves are about to attack the bridge, break my patrol, and then attack my camp. In the darkness of the night, I don't know that not a single one or two have been missed."
Hu Yang said: "The doctor is blocking everything downstream, there is nothing to leak." The two walked into the camp while talking.
Sima Jin's camp was a large square formation with four rows and five rows, with the main defense direction facing the river. The river generally runs east-west. The westernmost right camp is about one mile away from the bridge and about one mile away from the river. From entering the right camp to entering the middle camp where Sima Jin is located, there are three camps to pass through. Sima Jin led Hu Yang in a meandering way from outside the camp to the middle camp. Hu Yang said: "I would like to see the place where the doctor fights."
Sima Jin had no choice but to take Hu Yang to the easternmost camp. Each battalion raised fire and looked around to see if any Zhao Jun had slipped through the net, and some beheaded the seriously injured Zhao Jun on the river beach. Sima Jin gestured and explained in detail the process of the Zhao army's attack: more than a hundred ships attacked covertly, and the sound of paddling was heard by the patrolling soldiers, who immediately called the police. When Zhao Jun heard the alarm, he immediately docked and charged towards the shore. The closest battalion moved quickly and occupied a defensive position before Zhao Jun arrived. A burst of arrows drove back Zhao Jun. Zhao Jun then attacked the next battalion. Sima Jin said: "I see his behavior, which is very suspicious! There are not many people, but he is very powerful, and I am afraid that others will not know it. I am afraid that he has other agendas, so I ordered each camp not to move, each sentry to observe the river, and not to let the boat pass. . I haven’t seen anything different for a long time, but if I want to attack it, the enemy will sound the horn and retreat.”
Hu Yang pointed at Zheng Anping and said: "The enemy sounded the trumpet and retreated in fear when he saw Doctor Zheng leading his own camp."
Only then did Sima Jin know that Zhao Jun's retreat was frightened back by Zheng Anping, and he felt annoyed: I didn't know how to send people to attack the ship! Don’t you just want to see Zhao Jun’s intentions? But his face was full of gratitude and he said: "I didn't know that the doctor secretly helped me!"
When we arrived at the place where Zhao Jun came ashore, there were the most heavy casualties. There were still several Zhao Jun who had not had time to board the ship and were desperately resisting. When Hu Yang looked at it, the Zhao troops were all holding halberds and formed a circle back to back; the surrounding Qin troops were all holding spears, and the spear handles were at least an arm longer than the handles of the halberds. In addition, there were so many Qin troops, it was so cool. Stab with a spear, although not fatal, the injury is serious. Each of those Zhao soldiers had several wounds stabbed by the Qin army, and they were bleeding profusely. It was only a matter of time before they fell. Although desperate, Zhao Jun still gritted his teeth and resisted desperately, refusing to give up easily.
Hu Yang couldn't bear it and said to Zheng Anping: "Strike and kill him!"
Zheng Anping took a spear from a Qin soldier, handed him his halberd, and joined the battle group. As soon as the spear was twisted, the halberd in the hand of a Zhao soldier fell out of his hand; the spear was sent forward, hitting his throat, and he suddenly bled profusely and fell to the ground, twitching. When the other Zhao soldiers saw this, they were all stunned. Zheng Anping's second spear arrived again and stabbed directly into the throat of Zhao Jun next to him. Killing two people in a row aroused Zhao Jun's ferocity, and they rushed towards Zheng Anping desperately. Of course, the Qin army around them would not miss this opportunity. Each Zhao army had two or three spears waiting to kill them instantly. Zheng Anping stepped back, handed the spear back to the Qin soldier, and took back his own halberd. The Qin soldier was still stunned and didn't know why.
Sima Jin laughed and said: "Doctor Zheng is a true warrior! He has a steady heart and a ruthless hand, and a strong step. If he learns to practice swordsmanship, he will be a model for the world!"
Zheng Anping said: "I, as a commoner, cannot hold a sword, and I dare not speak!"
Sima Jin said: "As a doctor, a swordsman should have a sword in his heart, and he has a sword in his heart." With a lightning punch, Zheng Anping, including his halberd, was knocked five steps away and sat on the ground. I felt like my heart was shaking, and I almost felt like I was suffocating, but I didn't feel any pain. The surrounding Qin troops saw Sima Jin's clean and neat movements, and they all applauded. Zheng Anping stood up blankly, not caring about adjusting his clothes, and said politely: "Is this a sword? I have never heard of it."
Hu Yang also laughed and said: "Doctor Zheng, a soldier of the Wei Dynasty. He cannot be defeated by the warriors of Qin!"
Sima Jin hurriedly saluted and said: "I saw the great power of the doctor, but I acted cheaply for a moment! Offending the doctor will be punished by death!"
Zheng Anping said: "The doctor's skills are superb. He can attack the minister without hurting him. I feel the virtue of the doctor! How can I do this!"
While they were comparing their skills in reciting the rituals, Zhao Jun had already been killed, their heads beheaded, and their bodies were thrown into the river and flowed down the river.
Hu Yang bypassed the crowd and continued to go downstream. As he walked, he said: "I heard that the Huan water leads to the river but not to Zhang. When Zhao Jun arrives, will he build a road across the river?" As he was talking, he suddenly said "Oh!" With a sound, his feet sank. Zheng Anping and Sima Jin had quick eyes and quick hands. One of them grabbed one of Hu Yang's arms and pulled him back violently. Everyone rushed forward, dragged him, and finally pulled Hu Yang up. It turns out that there is a swamp here. On the surface, it is no different from the surroundings. Once you step into it, it will sink. Hu Yang had just gone through hell!
After being pulled out, Hu Yang's face turned pale and sweat was dripping from his forehead. He looked very frightened.
Sima Jin said: "My camp is backed by rivers and marshes. I was not aware of it for a moment and fell into the mire. It is a capital crime!"
Hu Yang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Wei Erzi, I'm almost in danger!" Looking at the mud covering his feet and legs, he said, "Let's go to the water and rinse for a while."
Zheng Anping said: "It's a little peaceful in the middle of the night, so I'll go get some water."
Hu Yang said: "Our Qin camp has no pots and cauldrons, how can we get water?" He held Sima Jin and Zheng Anping's hands and sat up with all his strength. Zheng Anping quickly arranged for his personal guards to guard along the river; Sima Jin also ordered his personal guards to guard the outside.
The three of them found a big stone by the river and sat down. Hu Yang put his feet into the water and felt so cold! Zheng Anping rolled up his lower skirt, walked to the river, and bent down to clean the mud from Hu Yang's legs. Sima Jin stood behind Hu Yang, fully alert to the surroundings.
Among the rivers in the Yellow River Basin, Huanshui is rarely clear. Zheng Anping stirred up the water and cleaned all the mud on his legs, and then discovered the wound that Hu Yang had sustained by Liu Ya. When his hand touched there, he could clearly feel the pain all over Hu Yang's body. . Zheng Anping took a look and saw that there was no bleeding from the wound, but the condition of the wound could not be seen clearly in the darkness.
Hu Yang's clothes were all stained with mud. Zheng Anping asked Hu Yang to take off his clothes and wash them in the river. Sima Jin asked a soldier to dry them on a bonfire in the camp next to him. Zheng Anping and Hu Yang each took off a piece of clothing to keep Hu Yang warm. Hu Yang took the two men's hands and stood up, saying: "I heard that Wu Zi sucked the sores of his soldiers, but the soldiers died in battle without turning around. And Qin Ge 'same robe as Zi'. Now I all understand the lesson. Although he died, he had no regrets." also."
Sima Jin said: "Why did Zhong Geng say such ominous words?"
Hu Yang said: "Soldiers are unlucky. Why should we be afraid? If the country dies, it will be divided. Now that I share the same robe with my two sons, I will die in Qin. It is a blessing!"
Sima Jin said: "Let's go back to camp!"
Hu Yang said: "How can we get rid of the mud and miss the main thing? Shiwu said that it is really important to connect Huanshui or connect it to the river. If the river can be connected to Luo, then we should send envoys back to Luoyang urgently and report to Xianyang urgently."
Sima Jin said: "What's the plan?"
Hu Yang said: "Only sentry detectives and rural guides have two ears!"
Sima Jin said: "The matter is urgent. Please do it."
Hu Yang pointed to the sky and said: "The time is clear, let's order the troops!" Just as he was saying this, drums sounded in the camp, and it was indeed time to order the troops.
Sima Jin let Hu Yang into the middle camp, and the soldiers brought over the dried clothes. Hu Yang changed his clothes in the camp and returned the clothes of Sima Jin and Zheng Anping to them. After a while, all the armies went to Sima Army to report on the situation of the army. Wang Lu also came over and asked carefully about the battle last night. Everyone feels that everything happens for a reason. Hu Yang expressed his doubts, hoping to find the mouth of the Huan River and reach the bank of the Yellow River as soon as possible. Wang Lu said: "If we talk about the river, Gongzi Zhen once lived here, which is on the bank of the river." Several people discussed it and agreed that it was unlikely to open a passage to the west by storming Ning Xinzhong. It was possible to find the Yellow River quickly and take a detour to the west. is the way out.
The arrangement of each army is that Wang He will be led by Gongzi Zhen and others. After crossing the river, he will move his army in the direction of Ji to prepare for the occupation of Ji. Sima Jin did not move for the time being while Wang He moved his army. While looking for a boat to go downstream to find the mouth of the river, he also looked for local merchants to explore the route. The middle camp also crosses the river and lives temporarily with Sima Jun. The plan has been decided and everyone will disperse.
