After Shusun Tong was invited, the county magistrate saw that he was in his thirties and dressed as a scholar. He felt very contemptuous and said with a smile: "Sir, he is just showing off in court, right? Otherwise, why would he be sent home?" ?" When Shusun Tong saw that the governor was laughing at him, he said: "Martial men rely on strength, and Confucian scholars rely on wisdom. How can you say that I am just showing off?" The sheriff said: "Since I am not showing off, please settle one thing for me. ." Shusuntong asked what was going on. The county guard said: "Now Liu Ji's rebellion has become a climate. But he is just a pavilion chief, and now he has surrounded the city and insists on trying to get through with me. Is there any way you can solve the siege of Xue County now?" Shusun Tong laughed. Said: "Sir, please don't underestimate Liu Bang. I heard that he used a three-foot sword to kill a snake and then roared in Mangdang Mountain. You have sent troops to encircle and suppress him many times, but you have not caught him, and now he has killed the county supervisor and the county. Lieutenant, I have driven you here again, it shows that he is indeed very powerful, and fighting him is just like hitting a stone with an egg, right?"
The county guard said angrily: "You stinking nerd, how can you enhance other people's ambition and destroy my prestige?" Shusun Tong said: "I dare not! I just said that Liu Ji is difficult to deal with." The county guard said angrily: "You must today You have to find a way to get out of the siege, or I will kill you!" Shusuntong laughed and said, "I was almost killed in Xianyang, and you want to kill me now. Am I so annoying?" The county guard was a little unhappy. Understanding, he asked: "Why were you killed in Xianyang?" Shusun Tong said: "After Chen Sheng's rebellion, the messengers in Shandong reported the situation to the Second Emperor, but the Second Emperor arrested all those who told the truth. Afterwards, he asked I, is the rebellion true? I can only say that the world is unified, and with a Holy Lord like you ruling the world, who dares to rebel? They are just some sneaky thieves. As long as the counties and counties dispatch some security personnel, we can They were all captured, so why did the imperial court go to war? The Emperor was really happy after hearing what I said, and rewarded me with many things. But I knew that the uprising in Shandong was in full swing, and the Emperor would eventually know the truth, so I escaped overnight. ,"
The county guard said: "Why don't you tell the truth to the emperor?" Shusun Tong said: "Everyone who told the truth was arrested. How can I dare to tell the truth? It shows what a bastard our emperor is! Such a bastard is worth it Are you going to assist again? Liu Bang is now besieging the city. It is different! I heard that he has the demeanor of an elder, is courteous to others, and likes to help the poor. Why don't the people like him? So people are rushing to join him. Such a person will be punished by God. Are you helping him, not to mention me?" After hearing what Shusun Tong said, the county guard was furious and said, "So you are an accomplice of Liu Bang?" He ordered everyone around to push Shusun Tong out and behead him in public. The soldiers on the left and right tied up Shusun Tong with three blows.
Seeing this, the county magistrate hurriedly advised: "Sir, if you kill Mr. Shusun, Xue County will be really finished. Please think twice!" The county magistrate said to Shusun: "Mr. Reading, no matter who is right or wrong now, I Because of your reputation, I recommended you to the county governor. I just wanted to test whether you have real talent and learning. I thought you were Lu Zhonglian who came to the rescue, but I didn't expect that you were not only frightened by Liu Bang, but also Liu Bang. Your belly is still as clean as if it had been licked by a dog, and there is nothing wrong with it? Now not only can't you save the emergency, but your life is also on the line. Look at you..." The county guard pointed his sword at Uncle Sun said: "I didn't expect that you have no ideas and you don't understand shit. What's the harm in killing you?" After that, he asked Bing Wazi to pull him out. Shusun Tong suddenly burst into laughter and said, "That's it! Since I didn't die in Xianyang, it seems I won't die today!" The county magistrate asked, "What's going on?" Shusun Tong said, "Since we We are all ministers of the Qin State. I just wanted to test whether you are loyal to the Qin State. Since you are all loyal to the Qin State, I have a way to not only break the siege of Xue County, but also to defeat Liu Bang completely!" The county guard As soon as he heard this, he was overjoyed, and his anger turned into joy. He quickly untied Shusun Tong and said, "I knew that sir was a great talent!"
Shusun Tong said: "To break the siege of Xuecheng, the best way is to send another army to attack Fengyi. Fengyi is in a hurry, Liu Bang must withdraw his troops quickly?" The county guard said: "I have already used this method. , but that thing of Liu Ji returned to Fengyi, and even the county captain was killed by him. Now that all the soldiers and horses in Xiangxian County have been mobilized, how can there be any more troops to attack Fengyi? This plan is not appropriate!" Shusun Tongtong "Then you can use other people's power to capture Fengyi?" The county guard was even more surprised and asked who can help him. Shusun Tong smiled and said: "I heard that Wei Jiu became king in Daliang. He was often worried about the Qin army attacking the city because the outer city of Daliang was demolished by Qin, so he often wanted to move the capital. But Wei Wang Jiu did not choose Find a suitable place to be the capital. Now I heard that Wei Jiu sent Prime Minister Zhou Shi and General Wei Bao to expand eastward and have already reached Fangyu. Fengyi in Peixian County was originally the place where King Wei moved to falsely. After passing the capital of the Wei State, it was far away from the Central Plains and located in the rear. In the past, the First Emperor often said that Fengyi had the spirit of the emperor, so he sent Zhang Cang to build a Tienqi Tower in Fengyi. We doctors all know this. Now why don't you, sir? Send a rhetorician to persuade Zhou Shi and Wei Bao to let them capture Fengyi City. Fengyi is Liu Bang's hometown. If it is lost, can Liu Bang still fight with you here?" After hearing this, the county guard He was extremely surprised and said: "This method is good, but how can I, the magistrate of the Qin State, ask for help from another rebel?" Shusun Tong said: "What time of year are you still saying this? You don't ask him for help?" , where is Qin's army?" The governor pondered for a long time, and then said, "Then you can recommend someone to me to lobby the Wei people?" Shusun Tong agreed.
Shusun Tong recommended a man named Ning Jun, who was from Dongyang County, Donghai County. This man was born to be an eloquent person, and he was also a doctor waiting for the imperial edict of the Qin State. He had a good relationship with Shusun Tong, and they escaped from Xianyang together. After Shusun Tong found Ning Jun, he told him the governor's intention. Ning Jun did not refuse and readily agreed. That night, the soldiers used bamboo baskets to hang Ning Jun from the city. After Ning Jun left the city, he left Xue County and rushed to Fang Yu.
Ning Jun came to Fangyu and met Wei's Prime Minister Zhou Shi and General Wei Bao. He said: "I am a doctor from Qin State. I ran back home because of my stupidity. Now all the heroes in Shandong have risen up and rebelled." Qin, I also want to make some contribution, so I'm here to offer you a big plan!" Zhou Shi asked him what his big plan was. Ning Jun said: "I heard that your king often worried that the Qin army would attack Daliang City, right?" Zhou Shi said: "Yes, the First Emperor unified the world and demolished the outer city of Daliang. It was very unsafe, so our The king often wants to move the capital, but there is no ideal place for it?" Ning Jun said: "King Wei's worry is correct. Now there is a place that is very important. If Daliang is compared to the head of Wei State, , then this place is the belly of Wei State, doesn’t King Wei want to get it?”
I asked in the market where it was. Ning Jun said: "It's Fengyi in Peixian County." Wei Bao laughed and said: "I thought it was some important place, but it turned out to be such a remote small town? Why is it important? You said it was belly, too Is that funny?" Ning Jun laughed and said: "General, don't underestimate that place. It is the fake migration place of the original King of Wei, and it has been the capital before. Moreover, the First Emperor asserted that 'there are emperors in Fengyi' He sent Zhang Cang to build a disgusting platform in the city. We doctors all know about this, but we just don't let outsiders know about it. Haven't you heard about this?" Wei Bao said in great surprise: "I've heard about the construction of the Ningqi Tower, but sir, we really didn't realize the importance of that place?" Zhou Shi asked Ning Jun who was guarding there. Ning Jun said: "I heard that a pavilion chief named Liu was guarding there. I also heard that the Sishui County Sheriff also wanted to compete for Fengyi, all to seize that Feng Shui treasure land?" Wei Bao laughed and said: "The pavilion chief What kind of bird are you? Do you dare to fight for the place where the late king of the Wei Dynasty moved to? I will take this city immediately!" Without reporting to the king of Wei, they immediately mobilized 20,000 Wei troops and asked Ning Jun to lead the way. The two men fiercely He came to Fengyi to kill him.
Peigong left Fan Kuai and Yong Chi to guard Fengyi, and the two men were serious. In addition to his usual official duties, Fan Kuai also learned the art of war from his father-in-law. Lu Gong had noticed before that Fan Kuai was no ordinary person. Now that he was a general leading troops, he devoted himself to teaching him the art of war. One day, Fan Kuai asked his father-in-law for advice: "What kind of enemy is the most difficult to deal with?" Lu Gong said: "The traitor is the most difficult to deal with." Fan Kuai asked what kind of person is a traitor. Lu Gong said: "If one of your own people secretly collaborates with the enemy, such a person is called a traitor." Fan Kuai asked how to get rid of the traitor. When Lu Zhenggong was about to answer, a sergeant suddenly came to report: "General Fan, the dust is flying from the northwest, and a troop of troops has arrived." Fan Kuai immediately said goodbye to his father-in-law, walked out of the mansion and said, "The Qin army is here, prepare to fight!" Fight with Yong Chi. Fan Kuai, wearing armor, flew on his horse and fought out of the city. Yong Chi also followed.
Fan Kuai left the city and saw a group of military horses coming to the city from a distance. Behind him was a big flag with a big word "Wei" written on it. Fan Kuai was very puzzled and asked loudly: "Hey! What kind of birdman?" The other party replied: "We are soldiers and horses of the Wei State, and we are here to regain the old capital of the late king. What do you do, you dark country bumpkin?" Fan Kuai looked up to the sky. Laughing loudly, he said: "I eat and shit here, what the hell do you care about me?" Wei Bao said angrily: "Bold village man! You ungrateful thing! Don't you want to block the road?" Fan Kuai simply laughed to death, and then He said, "I am the famous Grandpa Fan Kuai. Have you ever heard of me?" Wei Bao said that he had never heard of you, a village man. Fan Kuai smiled and said: "Okay, it's okay if you haven't heard of Fan Kuai. Have you seen this guy?" Fan Kuai shook his big ax. Wei Bao became even more furious and asked his deputy, Uncle Zhou, to capture this village man who didn't know the heights of the sky. Uncle Zhou then held his spear, mounted his horse, and came roaring to kill him. Yong Chi said to Fan Kuai, "How can I use a knife to kill a chicken?" Then he raised his halberd and hit the horse. The two fought against each other outside the city. The two sides fought for more than ten rounds, and Uncle Zhou was defeated. Wei Bao then sent his horse over to take Yong's teeth. Fan Kuai shouted loudly, rushed in front of Yong Chi, and then swung the big ax and chopped straight at Wei Bao. Wei Bao hurriedly raised his weapon to fight, only to hear a "Clang!" sound, the two weapons struck a piece, and sparks suddenly flew out. Wei Bao felt his arms were numb, his mouth was cracked, and his eyes were filled with stars. Only then did he realize that he was not of the same level, so he hurriedly turned around and ran away. Fan Kuai laughed loudly on the horse. There were a few soldiers in the back still crawling on the ground, slapping the ground and laughing, with tears and runny noses coming out of their eyes.
Wei Bao was hit by Fan Kuai's ax and ran for seven or eight miles before he stopped, and then shouted: "This villager is so powerful! If Fan Kuai doesn't die, Fengyi can't even think about it! What should we do?" Settlement and discuss with Ning Jun. Ning Jun thought for a long time and then said: "General, don't worry. I'll send someone to find out first. I heard that the deputy general Yong Chi is a businessman." Two days later, Ning Jun advised Wei Bao to go first. Retreat the troops and then enter the city. Wei Bao was confused and asked what was going on. Ning Jun gave Wei Bao's ear such instructions. Wei Bao was very happy after hearing this, and retreated to Shanfu County with great fanfare.
Fan Kuai was in Fengyi. When he heard that the Wei army had retreated, he ignored it. Ning Jun disguised himself as a businessman and sneaked into Fengyi City. He asked around and learned everything in the city. One night, he secretly came to Yong Chi's house, saying only that he was an old friend coming to visit. When Yong Chi saw Ning Jun, he asked, "Sir, when you come late at night, there must be something important, right?" Ning Jun presented some gold jewelry and shells to Yong Chi. Yong Chi was very happy when he saw the gift and asked, "I haven't done anything for you, why do you give me such a valuable gift?" Ning Jun said, "I come here to give it to you because I admire your character." It's a bright road, and I wouldn't come if it were anyone else!" Yong Chi was very puzzled and asked, "Sir, what advice do you have, but it doesn't matter."
Ning Jun said: "I heard that Wei Bao, the general of Wei and the younger brother of King Wei, personally came to capture Fengyi. Is this true?" Yong Chi said that this was true, but he had already been beaten away by Fan Kuai. Ning Jun said: "I am here just for this matter. Fengyi is the fake old capital of King Wei. Now Wei has sent troops to capture it. This is a matter of duty. But for the general, is this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?" Yong Chi was very surprised and asked, "What's the benefit to me?" Ning Jun smiled and said, "The general is a great talent, but he doesn't understand some big things?" Yong Chi asked what big things it was. Ning Jun said: "Liu Bang is a village man in the mountains. He is a low-ranking pavilion chief in the Qin State. He has never had any good virtues. How can you become famous with him? Doesn't the general know that 'Feng and Pei are in the area?' "A King Rises"?" Yong Chi said that he had heard of this. Ning Jun said: "The First Emperor often said that there is the Qi of the Son of Heaven in the southeast, and he is talking about Fengyi City! So he also sent Zhang Cang to build a 'Weary Qi Tower'. People all know about it, and our doctors from the Qin State also know about it. Son, that's why the King of Wei sent General Wei Bao to attack. With the wisdom of the King of Wei, he inherited the wisdom of the previous kings, which is enough to achieve the achievements of the Five Hegemons, so this cloud should be on him. And Liu Ji, He is just a small pavilion chief, but he also wants the general and Fan Kuai to guard this treasured land for him, and wants to seek long-term wealth. Is this simply asking for fish in a tree, walking in a river to tread on fire?"
After hearing this, Yong Chi felt moved and said, "I am from Fengyi. If I betray Duke Pei, am I afraid I will be laughed at by my elders?" Ning Jun said, "Fengyi is the place where King Wei falsely moved to. If Fengyi All the people have returned to the Wei State, which means that the people have returned to their master. Once the king of Wei becomes prominent in the future, he will follow the Guangda Court. Historically, a sage monarch will appear every five hundred years, and there will be some who are famous for their The auxiliary ministers of the world followed. It has been exactly five hundred years since King Ping of Zhou moved the capital. Judging from the current situation, it is the time for the sage king and the virtuous ministers to appear. If God does not want the world to be peaceful, there is no way. If the world is to be peaceful, In today's world, who else but the King of Wei can exist? But I don't know these things, but I guard the land for a pavilion chief. This makes knowledgeable people laugh! The general should think about his own fame and great cause, So you quickly hand over this place to the King of Wei. When the King of Wei becomes extremely noble in the future, the general will also take advantage of it?" After hearing this, Yong Chi thought to himself that King Wei is indeed the hero of today and a descendant of the royal family. , and Peigong is just a pavilion chief, how can he compare with King Wei? If you follow Pei Gong, your life is really over. It is better to betray Liu Bang and submit to the king of Wei. But Yong Chi was still very worried and said, "Although Liu Ji said he was from a humble background, the people under him are not easy to deal with." Ning Jun boldly said, "General Wei Bao's next goal is to capture Peixian County. , and Fengyi was inevitable for the Wei State. The general was afraid of hurting the people, so he did not attack by force. This was a benevolent move, otherwise tens of thousands of troops would have trampled Fengyi to the ground! To be honest, brother, I just I came here to discuss this matter with the general at the order of the King of Wei. If the general can dedicate Fengyi to the King of Wei in advance, then you will be a hero in the future. That's why I came here to point out this bright road to you? General, please think again."
Yong Chi was in a state of confusion and was a little undecided, so he said, "People say that Pei Gong was a very wealthy man. I'm afraid he is not as mediocre as you said, right?" Ning Jun said, "The First Emperor sent Zhang Cang back then. Building the Yanqi Tower in Fengyi is a good omen for the rise of the Wei State. Therefore, after the King of Wei prepares to seize Pei County, he will let the general serve as Pei Ling. Why do you have to look forward and backward?" Yong Chi heard that King Wei wanted to As the county magistrate of Pei County, he said happily: "Okay, I was delayed by Liu Ji! I want to present Fengyi as a gift to the King of Wei!" Ning Jun said with great joy: "Sure enough, King Wei will give the general a promotion." Yong Chi was overjoyed and hesitated: "Even if I want to offer the city, but Fan Kuai doesn't agree, what should I do?" Ning Jun said disapprovingly: "Fan Kuai is a You bastard! You hold a banquet tomorrow, get him drunk, tie him up, and then send a signal, and the Wei army will enter the city!" Yong Chi made up his mind and said: "If the Wei army captures Feng If you want to conquer the city, you must garrison the city. Otherwise, if Liu Bang attacks, the city will be gained and lost, and I will be doomed!" Ning Jun agreed with a smile. After Ning Jun left, Yong Chi thought to himself: Liu Jiping has always been domineering, but this time he will be able to take advantage of you.
The next day, Fan Kuai was patrolling the city. Suddenly Yong Chi came to see him and said: "Although we have defeated the Wei army, I am worried that he will come again?" Fan Kuai said with a smile: "I have a big ax weighing ninety kilograms. , even if there are 100,000 Wei troops, they can kill him without leaving any trace!" Yong Chi gave a thumbs up and said: "My brother is very skilled in martial arts. With you in Fengyi, Duke Pei will be able to sit back and relax! I heard that my brother often talks to Uncle Lu. Is there such a thing as learning the art of war?" Fan Kuai said happily: "I have learned the secrets of the art of war! Even if I were to fight against Sun Wuzi, I could kill him with flying colors! It's just Wei Bao, why should I care about it?" After saying this, he couldn't stop laughing. . Yong Chi also laughed and said: "In order to celebrate defeating the Wei army and also learning the secrets of the art of war from my brother, I have specially prepared a sumptuous banquet tonight. I would like to treat my brother to a drink. How about it?" Fan Kuai said: "No! No! Pei Gong asked me and you to guard the city. It's a very important matter. What if we get drunk and delay the matter?" Yong Chi said: "The detective horse reported that the Wei army has retreated and will definitely not come back. But brother, you If you are timid, you should be more cautious!" When Fan Kuai heard that Yong Chi said that he was timid, he immediately changed his expression and said: "I can win the battle even if I drink a few jars. Who said that Lao Fan is timid?" He immediately carried a large bag with his hand Yue went straight to Yong Chi's house for a banquet. When Yong Chi saw that Fan Kuai was a little provoked, he got it done. He kept talking and writing good words along the way, and blew Fan Kuai to the sky. Fan Kuai was so happy that he came to Yong Chi's home. Yong Chi had already made preparations, and as soon as he arrived home, he laid out a sumptuous banquet. Fan Kuai was overjoyed, so he played guessing games with Yong Chi until dark, and he was indeed very drunk.
When Duke Lu heard that Fan Kuai was having a drink at Yong Chi's house, he was afraid that something might happen, so he hurried to stop him, but was blocked by Yong Chi's servants. Lu Gong was very uneasy and had to go back. When Yong Chi saw that Fan Kuai was so drunk, he asked his confidants to tie him to the ground, and then sent someone to the top of the city to send a signal. Wei Bao and Ning Jun were well prepared and immediately attacked the city after seeing the signal. When the sergeant guarding the city saw that it was Wei Jun, he hurriedly ran to report to Fan Kuai. But Yong Chi scolded: "Liu Ji is a desperado, and Fan Kuai is a big boss who only knows how to kill a pig. How can we obey their orders? Now the army of Wei has come to attack Fengyi, and Fengyi is Wei's." This is the place where Wang Ji moved. The First Emperor said that there is a royal spirit here, which is a good sign for the rise of the Wei Dynasty. I hope you will all obey the orders of General Wei and surrender to the Wei State. If the King of Wei becomes noble in the future, everyone will We can honor our ancestors!" After saying that, he ordered the sergeants to open the city gate and welcome Wei Bao into the city. Before the children of Fengyi realized what was going on, the Wei army had already occupied Fengyi.
