In the early morning of the next day, Liang Xing organized his troops outside the city and was thinking of ways to defeat the enemy, when he saw Liu Qi sending Zhao Yun to fight.
Liang Xing was overjoyed. Zhang Heng had just suffered a defeat, his confidence was frustrated, and he urgently needed to regain a victory. This would also give Zhang Heng the confidence to face the enemy.
Liang Xing came out and shouted: "Liu Qi is not in Jingzhou, how dare you come to Xiliang to run wild?"
Zhao Yun snorted coldly and said: "In the whole world, is it the king's land? Why haven't you surrendered earlier?"
"First ask me if I agree with the sword in my hand!" Liang Xing urged his horse to fight, and after only ten seconds, he killed Zhao Yun, who was in a hurry, and then drove away.
Liang Xing laughed and immediately marched in with his troops, chasing them along the river, just in time for Zhang Heng on the city to see the strength of the two armies.
While they were chasing, an army from the front arrived, and Zhang Fei shouted: "Zhang Fei from Yan is here, who dares to fight?"
Seeing that Zhao Yun had stabilized his formation, Liang Xing did not dare to confront the two generals and led his troops back. Although he could not win a complete victory, it was enough to boost his morale.
He urged his horse to come to the city and shouted to Zhang Heng: "Zhao Yun is nothing more than this. If my virtuous brother left the city just now, and you and I hunted him together, we would definitely defeat Liu Qi."
Zhang Heng turned back and looked at Wang Shuang: "Is it possible that Zhao Zilong has wasted his fame?"
Wang Shuang nodded and said: "It's very possible. It's better to let General Liang try Zhang Fei's strength again."
Zhang Heng fought with Zhang Fei yesterday and felt he was at a disadvantage, so he said: "Although Zhao Yun is nothing to worry about, Zhang Fei is brave and cannot be underestimated."
Liang Xing said angrily: "My dear brother, please watch me go and call for war."
Then he returned to the camp and mobilized 5,000 elite troops. They went straight to Liu Qi's camp and yelled at him. They saw that the Han army was tightly guarding the camp and no one came to fight.
Liang Xing returned in high spirits and laughed. When Zhang Heng saw it on the city, he became more and more confused. Could it be that Liu Qi didn't dare to fight when he saw that he had increased his troops?
The next day Liang Xing led his troops to fight again, but the Han army just avoided coming out and returned to the camp arrogantly. However, Zhang Heng's subordinates in the city looked embarrassed and felt they had no face.
Zhang Heng was very depressed and sat in the government office, wondering: "Zhang Fei has always been reckless, how can he be timid in fighting?"
"Not good!" Wang Shuang suddenly exclaimed: "Liu Qi has not sent troops for several days, so he must have sent troops from Wudu. There are a hundred thousand troops in Hanzhong and Yizhou. If we wait for the army to arrive, we will be in danger."
Zhang Heng was shocked, and then he suddenly woke up, stood up and asked, "What should I do?"
Wang Shuangyan said: "Since my adoptive father is ready to dominate Longxi, he must send out troops early to repel Liu Qi first and guard the key roads to prevent him from coming again. If we can take the opportunity to kill this person, our adopted father will be famous all over the world. Cao Cao The prime minister will have a great reward, and I am afraid he will still be above Han Sui. When the time comes, not to mention Longxi, he will be the lord of Xiliang, and he will be the righteous father."
"Hiss——" Zhang Heng's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, he clapped his hands and laughed and said, "Wonderful! I didn't expect my son to have such knowledge. If someone is the lord of Xiliang, my son's name will surpass Ma Chao."
Wang Shuangyan said: "Liang Xing has been suppressing the enemy for the past two days. Liu Qi has been unable to avoid the battle. The morale of the Han army is low. Why not discuss with Liang Xing to rob the camp tonight and divide the troops into two groups to attack from the left and right. We will definitely succeed."
"This is a great plan!" Zhang Heng was overjoyed when he heard this and patted Wang Shuang on the shoulder: "I didn't expect that my son would have such a plan. Given time, the mighty general will be none other than you."
Wang Shuangxi couldn't help but clasped his fists and said, "I would also like to thank my adoptive father for his support. I just want to advance and retreat together with my adoptive father and share the difficulties!"
"My son is indeed unparalleled in his loyalty and loyalty!" Zhang Heng was moved deeply and sighed with emotion: "Even if he has a biological son, it is nothing more than this."
Wang Shuang asked for orders to defend the city, while Zhang Heng led his troops out of the city to discuss with Liang Xing how to rob the camp.
In the Han army camp, Zhang Fei was already a little impatient. Before he entered Xiliang, he was shouted at by the likes of Liang Xing, which was a disgrace to the reputation of the Han Dynasty.
Liang Xing came again in the afternoon, and Zhang Fei said angrily: "My lord, I sent troops to kill him with a spear, and took advantage of the situation to rush into the enemy camp and seize the stronghold. Zhang Heng is isolated and helpless, so he will surrender."
But Liu Qi smiled and said: "I have already made arrangements. We can capture the city without spending a single soldier. Why bother asking the soldiers to fight? We will see the outcome tonight."
Zhang Fei cursed angrily: "It's all Wang Shuang's stupid mouth. If I, Lao Zhang, were half as eloquent, I would have persuaded Zhang Heng to come to the city and surrender."
After the third watch that night, suddenly there was a loud sound of drums on the west and north sides of the Han army's camp. It was Liang Xing and Zhang Hengbing who came in two groups to rob the camp and entered the camp on the left and right.
As soon as they rushed into the camp gate, suddenly there were torches outside the camp. There was an ambush waiting for them. Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei came out from behind.
In this battle, more than 2,000 Xiliang troops were captured. They were detained in the school grounds. They were asked who their subordinates were and divided into two teams for custody.
Liang Xing's men were taken to the rear camp, but there was no movement. However, Zhang Heng's men were given dry food and water and ate and drank on the spot.
In the past few days, everyone in Liang Xing's army laughed at Zhang Heng for being weak and incompetent. They almost surrendered to Liu Qi in the first battle. At this time, seeing the different treatment, they suddenly panicked. Many Liang Xing troops pretended to be Zhang Heng's troops.
Half an hour later, after the reorganization of the numbers was completed, Kou Feng called out several surrenders from Liang Xing's headquarters, identified those who were mixed in with Zhang Heng's troops, and killed them on the spot.
After clearing out the imposters, Liu Qi came forward and said: "Although our army does not kill prisoners, it is only for those who are willing to abandon the dark and turn to the bright. We will never be lenient to those who are obedient and evil."
Liang Xing's soldiers were trembling with fear, lowering their heads and not daring to answer. Those who were still mixed in the crowd were sweating coldly.
Liu Qi ordered Lei Tong to take the Liang Xing tribe aside and said to everyone: "I have been ordered to punish the thieves and revive the Han Dynasty. No matter who you belong to, I will give you a chance to reform. I hope those who surrender will stay in the army. Those who do not want to surrender should return home. Liang Xing is already in my pocket, so you can take care of yourself. If you are captured next time, you will be killed without mercy!"
After Liu Qi left, Lei Tong persuaded everyone to surrender, telling them that Zhang Heng had actually surrendered a long time ago. He just wanted to kill more Xiliang troops and make meritorious service, so he pretended to be the enemy. It was Zhang Heng who acted according to his plan when he robbed the camp last night. He advised them to see the situation clearly.
The prisoners were secretly frightened when they heard this, knowing that they had no choice at this time. Regardless of whether they were willing or not, they were forced to surrender due to the situation.
Liu Qi came to the other side again and saw that food and wine had been prepared. He waved and announced: "Let the banquet begin!"
Everyone was confused and Zhang Fei laughed and said: "You all are Zhang Heng who deliberately brought the camp to rob, just to lure Liang Xing into being fooled. Not only is there no fault, but you also have merit! Why are you standing there in a daze? Sit down quickly!"
These Xiliang troops were pleasantly surprised. Five rows of long tables were filled with wine and meat. Some of the brave ones took their seats first, and others followed suit. Those under Liang Xing who were mixed in also sat down with their heads lowered.
Liu Qi raised his glass and said: "General Zhang abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side. He is indeed a loyal man. As long as you serve loyally, I will reward you for your merits after I get rid of Liang Xing and Candidate." "
After they were full of wine and food, they arranged for everyone to rest in the camp. When they woke up, it was already dusk and they were all released back to the city.
