Yang Huai was also very worried at Fushui Pass. Jingzhou soldiers were invading from all sides. Chengdu only sent 3,000 reinforcements. The general Liu Jun was also a mediocre man and was not enough to fight Zhang Fei.
Although a detailed report was made in the evening, Zhang Fei was drunk and punished his troops for failing to attack the city, but this was not enough to relieve the crisis, not to mention that Liu Qi's army had not yet arrived.
In the middle of the night, I could not sleep. When I was depressed, Liu Gong suddenly came to report that Deng Xian was drunk and punished by Zhang Fei. He was unhappy and came to surrender.
Yang Huai was startled, stood up and rushed to the government office. He saw Deng Xian lying on the table, his face pale, his clothes on his back soaked with blood and dripping with sweat.
Thinking of Gao Pei being harmed by him, he stepped forward and sneered: "General Deng, are you today too?"
"General Yang..." Deng Xian grimaced in pain, shook his head and sighed: "I was besieged by the Jingzhou Army that day. Forced by the situation, I had to surrender. Now I regret it and hope that the general will save me."
Yang Huai said coldly: "You betrayed your lord and surrendered to the enemy, and also harmed General Gao. How can you come back with dignity? I will escort you to Chengdu tomorrow and hand you over to my lord."
"Wait a minute!" Deng Xian endured the pain in his back and stood up and said: "Zhang Fei is coming to attack Guancheng tonight. He has a great achievement coming. General, please think twice."
"Oh?" Yang Huai's eyes gleamed slightly, and he smiled again: "Fushui Pass is heavily guarded. Even if Zhang Fei comes in person, there is nothing to fear."
Deng Xian said: "If the general only defends and waits for Liu Qi's troops to arrive, he will be defeated sooner or later. Why not take advantage of his plan? If he can kill Zhang Fei, he will not only lose Liu Qi's arm, but also become famous all over the world. The lord will be rewarded heavily. Wouldn't it be both fame and fortune?" .”
Yang Huai frowned slightly: "What are your plans?"
Deng Xian suggested: "After the third watch, Zhang Fei sends people to sneak attack Guancheng. The general can ambush outside the city first, let the enemy go, and then rob the camp when they come to sneak attack. If the camp is burned, the Jingzhou soldiers will surely There will be chaos and a dilemma. At this time, two groups attack and block Zhang Fei outside Fushui Pass. I hope he won't be able to escape with his wings."
"Hiss—" Yang Huai's heart skipped a beat, and he pondered for a moment before asking, "Is the news you said accurate?"
Deng Xian nodded and said: "Zhang Fei issued a military order before leaving, giving him a ten-day deadline to capture Fushui Pass. Therefore, he ordered me to attack the city by force, and then drunkenly punished the soldiers indiscriminately. Now that he only has one day left, he has no choice but to take the risk."
Yang Huai stared at Deng Xian and said in a deep voice: "You killed Gao Pei, aren't you afraid that I will avenge him?"
Dengh He lives in this world, so he takes risks and makes plans with the general, both for revenge and atonement for the general’s merits.”
Before Liu Junchu came to the battle, he was eager to make meritorious deeds and hurriedly advised: "General, the time is about to pass. If you don't make a decision, you will miss the opportunity."
Yang Huai paced back and forth, and finally said: "General Deng can rest here to recover from his injuries, and it makes sense for me to deploy my troops."
Deng Xian urged: "It can't be delayed. The general must make a decision as soon as possible. If I can avenge this, I, Deng Xian, will be willing to run away from now on."
Yang Huai gave a few words of comfort and ordered people to help Deng Xian go down to rest, and sent military doctors to treat his injuries.
Then he called all the people who were traveling with him and found that seven or eight of them were Gao Pei's subordinates. After careful interrogation, they all agreed as Deng Xian said.
Not long after, the military doctor came to report that Deng Xian's back injury was real, the skin was torn and the flesh was torn, and it would take at least two months to recover.
Yang Huaileng sneered: "Deng Xian bit him inside and outside. This is called retribution. He deserves it!"
Liu Yan said: "Zhang Fei has a bad temper. This is God's help for the general's meritorious service. Don't let this opportunity slip by."
Yang Huai frowned and said: "But Zhang Fei is brave, how easy is it to kill him? If we rush out of the city, we are afraid of backfiring."
Liu Changyan said: "A general must make a decisive move. Even if this plan cannot get rid of Zhang Fei, it is still a great achievement to defeat him. If Liu Qi's army arrives, once Fushui Pass cannot be defended, and even an inch of success has not been achieved, it will be a great achievement." General Zhegao, how will you return your orders to the lord at that time?"
Yang Huai suddenly woke up and laughed and said: "Zhang Fei, a reckless man, has been drunk so many times and made mistakes, but this time he encountered me, and he will definitely fall into some kind of trick."
Regardless of whether Zhang Fei can be killed or not, it is important to make merit first. Even if Fushui Pass is lost, he will still have merit first. Otherwise, if Liu Zhang knows about Deng Xian's plan and misses the opportunity, he will not be able to bear the consequences.
Having made up his mind, he told Liu Hao: "You will be guarding the gate tonight. I will personally avenge Gao Pei."
"Thanks to the general for reminding me, I almost missed the opportunity,"
"Yes!" Liu Han bowed and accepted the order, but he was secretly unhappy in his heart.
It was obvious that he was the one who brought Deng Xian into the city and gave him several admonishments before Yang Huaicai made up his mind, but in the end he didn't say a word about it and took the credit only for himself.
This has always been the case in Yizhou. People who are close to Liu Zhang take the credit that is easily obtained. Their official positions are getting higher and higher, and they will never get ahead.
Yang Huai rushed to the military camp, ordered his elite soldiers to leave the city first, and lurked in the woods. He only waited for Zhang Fei to lead his troops and then went to rob the camp.
Around the fourth watch, I saw Zhang Fei personally leading the troops. The Jingzhou army followed cautiously and quietly headed towards Guanxia.
Yang Huai smiled secretly in his heart: "Zhang Fei thought he had a plan, but he didn't know that he had become a turtle in the urn. Let's see how arrogant you are when I burn down the camp."
When the men and horses passed, Yang Huai hurriedly led the ambush troops out of the forest and headed towards the Jingzhou Army stronghold. The lights here had been extinguished long ago and it was pitch black. As expected, there was no defense.
Yang Huai was secretly happy and immediately ordered his soldiers to rush into the stronghold and set fire to it. Except for Zhang Fei, he didn't pay attention to the other generals at all.
In the blink of an eye, the flames shot into the sky, and Yang Huai rushed straight to the Chinese army's tent. However, he heard drums beating loudly outside the camp, and shouts of killing came from all around. Knowing that something was wrong, he hurriedly ordered to retreat.
But at this time, the soldiers were already in confusion, and they were ambushed and killed by ambushes on the outside. They were running around, so they had to call on the soldiers around them to flee.
As soon as they arrived at the gate of the camp, they saw a general blocking the way. It was Kou Feng. He laughed and said: "This turtle with his head is finally out!"
Yang Huai was anxious and angry, and he charged with his horse. The two fought for more than ten times. Liu Xian and Lei Tong led troops to kill, and the Shu army was completely in chaos.
Yang Huai was entangled by Kou Feng, and when he saw the soldiers around him surrendering one after another, he knew that Zhang Fei was in front, so he did not dare to return to Guanzhong, so he pushed Kou Feng back with all his strength and escaped on a small road.
"Yang Huaixiu, let's go!" Kou Feng chased after him and ordered his soldiers to fire arrows.
Yang Huai panicked and did not choose his way. His horse was walking on the path by the river and was shot by random arrows again. It jumped in pain and fell into the river together with the horse and man.
When Fushui was closed, Liu Han saw the hook and lock thrown on top of the city. He was not in a hurry. He only waited for the fire in the camp in the distance to burst into the sky before ordering the ropes to be cut. Then he heard countless people falling to the gate and screams one after another.
Liu Hao was afraid that Yang Huai would monopolize the credit, so he immediately led his troops out of the pass to kill the enemy. Just now under the firelight, he clearly saw a strong body falling, which should be Zhang Fei.
Liu Hao rushed out of the door, looked for Zhang Fei to the left, and laughed: "Hahaha, Zhang Fei, you will die now..."
But I saw a man hugging the snake spear, leaning against the wall, blending into the shadow, and suddenly exposed a row of white teeth. He couldn't help but stiffen, and his heroic words turned into whispers: "I'm dead--"
