The people of Fengyi were very dissatisfied when they saw that Yong Chi had lured the wolf into the house and dedicated the city to the Wei people. Yongchi summoned the people and said: "Fengyi is the capital of the late king of Wei. Wei sent troops to seize it. This is reasonable and you must obey the order." The elders protested: "Pei Gong asked you to guard the city. , but you are a buyer seeking glory, what a villain! Aren't you afraid that Pei Gong will come and kill you?" Yong Chi said: "The First Emperor said back then that there was an emperor's spirit in the southeast. This was a sign that the Wei State would be prosperous. If Whoever refuses to be a subject of the Wei State, I will kill him first!" The people were frightened. When Wei Bao saw that Yong Chi was doing well, he asked the King of Wei for instructions and made Yong Chi a general and Marquis of Fengyi. He also ordered that all Pei Gong's family members be kept under guard and not allowed to have contact with outsiders.
Wei Bao came to the public hall and sent an order to bring Fan Kui up. After a while Fan Kuai was brought. When Wei Bao saw Fan Kuai tied up into a rice dumpling, he laughed and said, "The butcher is such a good drinker!" Fan Kuai said angrily, "Wei Gou, if it wasn't for one of my own family members, how could you enter Fengyi?" Wei Bao said: "Now that you surrender, you can become the general of the Wei Kingdom?" Fan Kuai glared and cursed: "Bah! You bitch, do you want me to surrender? There is no way!" Wei Bao said: "If you don't surrender, I will kill you. You!" Fan Kuai said: "If you kill me, I will be a happy ghost." Wei Bao said: "Liu Bang is just a pavilion chief, are you worth dying for him?" Fan Kuai said: "My brother is specifically against the Qin people! No! A rat like you, who only knows how to kill each other, is really a bastard who fails to achieve anything and is prone to failure!" Wei Bao was furious and wanted to kill Fan Kuai. Yong Chi quickly advised: "General, wait a minute. Fan Kuai is Liu Bang's brother-in-law. If you kill him, Liu Bang will fight for his life. It's better to keep him as a hostage so as to contain Liu Bang." Wei Bao listened to Yong Chi's words and said, Fan Kuai was temporarily imprisoned.
When Ning Jun saw that Wei Bao had captured Fengyi, he said goodbye and said, "I came here to help the general capture Fengyi. The goal has been achieved. Now I have to go back. General, please take care." Wei Bao wanted to keep Ning Jun as his commander. Staff officer, Ning Jun firmly refused and left. Ning Jun came to Xue County and saw that Pei Gong was still besieging the city, so he wrote a letter and sent it into the city. The sergeant picked up the letter and showed it to the county guard. The county guard was overjoyed to learn that Wei Bao had captured Fengyi, and immediately made preparations to hunt down Pei Gong when he withdrew his troops.
Fan Kuai was closely guarded by Wei soldiers in prison, and his hands and feet were tied up. He thought that if he didn't report the news to his elder brother, he didn't know that Wei Dog had occupied Fengyi, so he accosted the guarding sergeant and said, "You guys are going to kill me." After being tied up for a day, my legs and feet are numb. Why don't you untie me?" Wei Jun said: "You are a tiger, you dare not let go!" Fan Kuai said with a smile: "I am not a tiger, I am a pig butcher. Your general wants me I want to be a general of Wei. Now I have figured it out and am going to see him tomorrow. When I become a general, the first thing I will do is to kill you first!" The sergeant asked: "Why do you want to kill us?" Fan Kuai said: " You bunch of rats are so unreasonable to Lao Fan, shouldn't you kill him?" The sergeant said: "It's the general's order to tie you up, we can't disobey it." Fan Kuai said: "It's obviously you who tied me and the general. What does it matter?" The sergeant was very frightened and asked what he could do to avoid killing him. Fan Kuai said: "You hurry up and perform meritorious service now. Not only will I not kill you, I will also promote you!" The sergeant asked how to perform meritorious service. Fan Kuai said: "First untie me, and then bring me some food and wine. When I become a general, the first thing I will do is to promote you!" The sergeant said: "I can give you food and wine, but I don't dare to loosen my ties." Fan Kuai said "Bring me wine and food quickly." Wei Jun brought the food. Fan Kuai said, "How can I eat if I don't untie the rope?" The sergeant rushed to feed Fan Kuai, but he didn't dare to untie the rope. After Fan Kuai finished eating, he said he wanted to poop. The sergeant fetched him a toilet. Fan Kuai said: "You tied me up like this, how can I pull it out?" The sergeant started to lift Fan Kuai to defecate. Fan Kuai smiled again and said: "I'm done, you still have to wipe your buttocks." Unexpectedly, Fan Kuai just had a bowel movement, and it smelled so bad that Wei Jun all ran out of the prison gate with vomiting. Fan Kuai couldn't move and yelled at the dog. A Wei soldier had no choice but to cover his nose, walked in with a knife, cut the rope, and released one of Fan Kuai's arms for him to handle.
Fan Kuai freed up his hands and completed the formalities. Then he put on his pants, asked the toilet to be taken away, and then lay down on the straw bed without moving. After a long time, Wei Jun saw that Fan Kuai had no intention of running away, so he walked in and talked to him. Fan Kuai suddenly grabbed Wei Jun and said: "Untie me quickly, or I will strangle you to death!" Wei Jun was shocked and had to untie the rope. When a sergeant saw something was wrong, he ran away. Fan Kuai quickly lifted up the rope and trapped the sergeant, who immediately fell to the ground. Fan Kuai dragged him forward again and asked Wei Bao where he was. The sergeant said in horror: "Don't kill me!" Fan Kuai said: "I won't kill you. Please tell me where your general is?" The sergeant said: "The general has gone out to fight in the city and is not in the city." Fan Kuai asked again: "Where is Yong Chi?" the sergeant said, "at home." Fan Kuai pushed the jailer away, walked out of the prison, grabbed a knife from the jailer's hand, and ran straight to Yong Chi's house. Everyone who saw it was stunned.
Fan Kuai came to the door of Yong Chi's house and saw someone guarding him. He couldn't help but slash at Yong Chi's house with his sword. The Wei soldiers fell to the ground one after another. Fan Kuai killed everyone, broke into the door, and shouted: "Those who are carrying the Lord's glory, get out and see me!" Fan Kuai shouted several times, and saw an old woman walking out with a lantern. Fan Kuai recognized her as Yong Chi's mother and wanted to kill her. When Yong's mother saw this, she was so frightened that she knelt down and begged for mercy: "Young master of the Fan family, you have killed me now. I have no complaints, but I am also very unjust!" When Fan Kuai heard this, he angrily said: "Your son is carrying the crime. Lord Qiurong, I want to kill him, where is he?" Yong's mother said: "Since Wei Bing entered the city, he has no face to see me, and I don't know where he is." Fan Kuai went out and caught one The sergeant asked about his black horse and weapons. The sergeant replied: "The horse is in the backyard, and the ax is under the manger." When Fan Kuai heard that the horses and weapons were there, he turned around and ran into the backyard. Sure enough, he saw the black horse and the big axe. He hurried over and picked up the big axe. Then he untied the horse and led the horse out of Yongchi's house. After Fan Kuai came out, he rode towards the government office to kill him. When the guards saw Fan Kuai coming to kill him, they all stepped forward to stop him. Fan Kuai wheeled up his axe, killing everything in the way, and then rushed in. When Yong Chi and Wei General Zhang Shuo heard that Fan Kuai had been killed, they were so distraught that they hurriedly ran away from the back door.
Fan Kuai didn't find Yong Chi and cursed: "You are the one who betrays the Lord and asks for glory, I will definitely kill you!" After shouting a few times, a large number of Wei troops gathered around him. Come and fight Fan Kuai. Fan Kuai was worried that he would not be able to get out of the city and did not dare to fight, so he turned his horse and headed towards the east gate to fight. Wei soldiers could not stop him, so they left the city. Fan Kuai left the city and did not dare to see Pei Gong, so he went straight to Pei County to discuss with Ji Xin.
Fan Kuai arrived in Peixian County in a flash, broke into the county government office, and shouted: "Fourth brother, revenge! Revenge!" Ji Xin was sitting in the county government office when he heard Fan Kuai's furious voice. He didn't know what was going on and hurriedly got up to greet him. . Fan Kuai had already barged in and said with shame on his face: "Fourth brother, I lost Fengyi!" Ji Xin was shocked and asked what was going on. Fan Kuai told the story in detail. After Ji Xin heard this, he was shocked and scolded Yong Chi for asking for glory. Fan Kuai shouted: "I lost Fengyi. Give me an army and I will take the city back!" Ji Xin said: "Fifth brother, the matter has come to this, there is no point in hurrying. I will write to you first." The eldest brother reports, and then you guard Pei County, and I will go to Fengyi in person, scold Yong Chi, and ask him to return Fengyi to us." Fan Kuai refused and insisted on taking it himself. Ji Xin said: "Pei Gong's family is also in Fengyi. If you take it by force, the Wei people will harm them." Fan Kuai calmed down.
Ji Xin asked Fan Kuai to guard the city, and he ordered five hundred soldiers to go to Fengyi City. From a distance, he saw that the city was covered with flags of Wei people, so he shouted to Yong Chi to come out and answer. After a long time, Yong Chi came to the top of the city and said: "Brother, I forgive my offence! I can no longer serve Pei Gong. As the saying goes, 'A good bird chooses a tree to roost, and a wise minister chooses his master to serve.' A foolish brother saw Pei Gong. He is just the chief of the Pavilion. Following him, I will follow the northwest wind from now on. Therefore, I surrendered to the Wei State. Please forgive me!" Ji Xin advised Yong Chi and said: "Don't insist on your own way. Return Fengyi to me quickly, otherwise Pei Gong Ji Xin wanted to attack the city, but was afraid that they would harm Pei Gong's family, so he had to return to Pei County.
Ji Xin's messenger came to Xue County and reported the situation to Peigong. When Pei Gong heard that Yong Chi had dedicated Feng Yi to the Wei people, he was so angry that he said, "I must skin him for eating the inside out!" He angrily drew his sword and chopped off a piece of the corner of the table. Xiao He advised very rationally: "Even if Pei Gong is furious, he can't subdue the traitors. Now King Zhang Chu is still waiting for us to rescue Zhou Wen. We should go back immediately to rescue Fengyi first, and then go to reinforce Zhang Chu." ." Pei Gong stamped his feet and cursed Yong Chi as a dog, a bastard, a shameless man, and a white-eyed wolf. He gathered the soldiers together and told Yong Chi about surrendering to Wei. The brothers were shocked when they heard that Yong Chi had rebelled. Pei Gong also withdrew his troops immediately because his mother was newly deceased and he was worried about what might happen to his old father. Fearing that the county guards would pursue him, he asked Cao Wushang and Lu Wan to lead a group of elite troops to ambush halfway.
Pei Gong then galloped all the way back to Peixian County. Ji Xin went out of the city to meet him. Fan Kuai hid far away and did not dare to come out. Pei Gong entered the city and pulled Fan Kuai out of the dark room. Seeing that Fan Kuai was drinking, he severely accused him of being a drunkard and neglecting his duties. Fan Kuai was so ashamed that he wiped his neck with his sword. Pei Gong took the sword and scolded him for being useless. Fan Kuai regretted and said, "Brother, please give me some soldiers and horses, and I will kill Yong Chi!" Then Pei Gong gathered his troops and rushed towards Fengyi to kill him.
When Yong Chi heard that the settler was coming, he hurried to the city to wait and see. He saw Pei Gong sitting in a tall and sturdy chariot, throwing a long sword in his hand, and came straight to the city. After stabilizing his position, he shouted loudly: "Yong Chi! You bitch, how can I be sorry for you to stab me in the back?" Yong Chi replied with great shame: "Please calm down, Mr. Pei. Listen to me: Fengyi was originally the place where the king of Wei moved to for a fake purpose, and now the state of Wei has come to take over. This is a matter of course. Moreover, King Jiu of Wei is a descendant of the royal family. The reason why I dedicated the city to the state of Wei is to earn more money to support my family. There is no other meaning to living." Pei Gong said: "That's nonsense! Fengyi is my hometown and the place where my brothers raised armies. What does it have to do with the state of Wei? If you follow me, will you starve to death? You're going to die soon Give me the city back, and I will spare your life!" Yong Chi said: "The current King of Wei and General Wei Bao are both descendants of the previous King of Wei, with noble blood, how can you compare with him? I will follow you Are you really worried that there will be no results? Let’s not talk about this far away. We don’t want to be granted the title of marquis. My family is still waiting for dinner. I am afraid that if I follow you, I will not be able to drink from the northwest wind in the future? My brother, I also advise you to come with me now. Submit to the Kingdom of Wei, the King of Wei will definitely worship you as a general in the future!" Pei Gong was furious and said: "Okay, brother? Since I can't give you glory and wealth, you can go with others, but you can't hand over the city to others. ?”
Wei General Zhang said to Pei Gong: "Liu Bang, you are a small pavilion chief, but you dare to compete with me, the great Wei State, for territory? You don't even think about how much you weigh?" Pei Gong said angrily: "Wei Dog , I want to break your neck when someone is in danger?" Zhang Shuo laughed and said, "Am I not afraid of you?" He said he was going to fight. Yong Chi advised: "General, don't do it. Pei Gong is angry. If they risk their lives, we are no match at all." Before he finished speaking, he annoyed a man behind Zhang Shuo. This man shouted: "Liu Bang is just a pavilion chief. Villager, what are you afraid of? I'm willing to go out of the city to capture him alive, and then capture Xiao He alive. If we don't win, cut off my head!" Zhang said that he looked back and saw that it was the brave general Bai Jie, so he agreed to fight with him. Yong Chi tried to dissuade him again and again, but Bai Jie became even more arrogant and led thirty to fifty sergeants to drive out of the city. Suddenly, he saw a tall man with a long beard and a beautiful beard, wearing a bronze face and wearing green clothes, coming to the front of the formation holding a sky-opening sword. Berger had no idea who this person was, so he charged straight towards him. Just as he was about to ask questions, his horse ran a little faster and was cut into two pieces by the opponent's knife. The person who beheaded him was Cao Shen, Peigong's general. When the Wei army saw that their general had been beheaded, they were all frightened. Seeing this, Zhang hurriedly ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops, and then closed the city gate.
Fan Kuai had already attacked the city at this time. He wanted to attack the city directly, and first captured the Wei general and gutted him. Suddenly, a bang was heard from the top of the city, and a volley of arrows was fired. Fan Kuai was furious and used his shield to block the arrows before attacking. Pei Gong ordered Yong Chi to be captured alive. The Wei army rose up to resist, but they were no match for Pei Gong's army. Soon, Fan Kuai will climb up the ladder. Suddenly Zhang said that he tied old Mrs. Liu to the top of the city and shouted: "If we attack the city again, I'll kill the old man first!" When Pei Gong saw his old father being tied outside the female wall by the Wei army, he screamed in pain He shouted: "Father!" Fan Kuai saw it and did not dare to attack again, so he had to retreat from the city. Wei General Zhang said he was relieved when Fan Kuai retreated, so he strengthened his guards, and then said to Pei Gong: "Liu Bang, all of you, my family, if you dare to attack the city again, I will cut down the city one by one." Go!" Pei Gong wanted to cry but had no tears, so he ordered to retreat.
That night, Yong Chi said to Zhang: "Liu Ji is a filial son. Now that his mother has died, he will definitely guard his mother's grave tonight! If we ambush an army around the tomb in advance, we will definitely be able to Capture him alive!" Zhang said he was so happy that he took the initiative to lead a group of troops out of the city in advance to ambush him.
Seeing that he could not save his family and fellow villagers, Pei Gong felt very depressed, so he gathered his troops and troops there. After nightfall, he quietly took about ten people to his mother's grave in Zhongyangli. He first cried and offered sacrifices, and then sat down and took a nap. None of the followers dared to speak. Until late at night, suddenly there was a drum sound, and there were loud killings from all sides. The Wei troops shouted in unison: "Capture Liu Bang alive!" Pei Gong stood up in panic and saw countless Wei troops swarming around him. The leader was Wei General Zhang, and his followers They formed a circle to protect Pei Gong. Pei Gong shouted: "I don't want to die here!" As soon as he finished speaking, a group of troops from the southwest corner came like a hurricane. The leading general rushed in, and the Wei troops fell to the ground one after another. Taking a closer look, it was Fan Kuai. Pei Gong's followers shouted: "Pei Gong is here, General Fan, come and protect him!"
It turned out that Xiao He suddenly found that Pei Gong was missing at night, so he quickly sent people to search everywhere. Fan Kuai thought of Pei Gong going to his tomb, so he immediately came with a group of troops. He happened to encounter the Wei army besieging Pei Gong, so he rushed in. When he met Zhang Shuo head-on, he raised his ax and chopped him off. Zhang said that he met Fan Kuai with arms and killed him for several rounds. Zhang said that Fan Kuai was no match for him, so he made a false stab and ran away. Fan Kuai was worried about Pei Gong, so he ran over to check on Pei Gong instead of chasing Zhang Shuo. Peigong folded his arms and groaned. Peigong said: "If my brother hadn't arrived in time, I would have almost died! Zhang said that when he saw you coming, he shot an arrow at me. Oops!" Fan Kuai saw that the arrow hit Pei Gong's left side. On his arm, he hurriedly helped him mount his horse and walked towards the military camp. At this time, Xiao He and others also came together. When everyone met, Pei Gong described to everyone the thrilling scene just now. Xiao He was shocked and returned to the camp. Xiao He hurriedly asked the military doctor to check the arrow wound. It turned out that the injury was to the skin and flesh, but it was not serious. The military doctor bandaged it up. It was already October weather, the cold wind had been blowing all night, and snowflakes were actually floating in the sky. The soldiers were so cold that they could only shiver and finally waited until dawn.
Unexpectedly, Pei Gong suffered another cold that night, plus an arrow wound, and he couldn't even get sick. At this time, Cao Wushang suddenly sent someone to report that when Yin Zhuang, the governor of the county, saw that Duke Pei had withdrawn his troops, he led the Qin army to pursue him. When he came to Qi County, he was killed by his ambush troops. After hearing the good news, Pei Gong felt a little better.
The next day, Pei Gong's condition did not improve, so Xiao He consoled him: "Now that the county guard is dead, but the Wei army is watching eagerly, I am very worried that they will attack Pei County. Now that your family has fallen into the hands of the Wei people again, we are still We can't fight hard. Tan Ma came to report again, saying that Zhang Chu's Zhou Wen was trapped in Mianchi by Zhang Han and was in a very dangerous situation. If Zhang Han won, then the Qin army would attack Shandong. The current situation is getting more and more unfavorable. We should go back to Peixian County and hold on, we can't lose that place again?" Pei Gong said: "We raised troops, but we didn't expect that the Wei people would come to seize our territory, and they don't even know who the public enemy is? How sad!" Xiao He also had He felt the same and said, "If heroes from all walks of life could be like you, things would be much easier to handle!" Pei Gong ordered Cao Wushang, Lu Wan, and Lu Shizhi to guard Qixian County as foreign aid, and the rest of the troops returned to Peixian County. .
A few days later, the sergeants reported again that Wei Bao and Zhou Shi had marched eastward one after another and had occupied Huling and Xue County, and then attacked Qi County. Huling guard Zhou Ke and others, as well as Cao Wushang and others from Qixian County, were defeated and fled back together. When Pei Gong heard the report, his expression was calm, and he took a long breath and said, "Alas!" The city we took from the Qin people is now taken away by others. Isn't our career going well? "Intuition was in a daze, and his condition became more serious. Seeing this, Xiao He asked a doctor to treat Pei Gong, while strengthening his defense and comforting the people.
