After Guan Hai led his army to Feicheng, he knew that this was a life-and-death battle, so he did not dare to hesitate. He immediately sent scouts to inquire about the arrangements of the Han troops around him, and sent envoys to the south bank to communicate with the Baibo army and ask them about their situation.
But regardless of the situation of the Baibo Army, as far as Guan Haibu himself is concerned, the situation is not optimistic.
After the Linzi Rebellion, Guan Hai reluctantly pacified Wu Ba, but there were still many turmoils in Qingzhou, and various places were exhausted. How many soldiers in the army did not die in the hands of the enemy, but died at the sword of their former comrades. This has to disappoint the army and lose the hearts of the people. So on the way back to Linzi, Guan Hai was riding a horse in the streets. He once saw a group of children gathered around the army, singing by the road: "It's hard to travel, and it's hard to live in peace. After seven years of youth, it has become a humeral bone. Once you enter Mount Tai, you won't return it." ." This means that the Yellow Turbans can only share adversity but not wealth and wealth. After listening to the nursery rhyme, many soldiers lowered their heads and said nothing. It seemed that even the knives in their hands were much heavier.
Under this circumstance, the Linzi court received Zhang Fang's letter of surrender, and there were divergent opinions in the court.
Zhang Fang's name was Gui Jiang, but he was actually asking for help. Everyone knew this. Therefore, most people say that Qingzhou was in chaos and Xuzhou was in the form of a separatist regime. Liu Bei and Cao Cao took advantage of the great victory and brought more than 100,000 victorious troops to besiege the two isolated cities. It is obvious that both sides are prosperous and rebellious, so how can there be any reason to save a defeated army? What's more, Zhang Fang attacked Jibei and Mount Tai in the front and defended Puyang in the rear. His fate was his own fault and had nothing to do with the imperial court.
But only his aide Tao Qiuxiu persuaded Guan Hai: "At that time, the Zhou Dynasty lost virtue, the Spring and Autumn Period was chaotic, and the Xia were defeated by the Rong and Yi, which looked like a country that was subjugated. However, the Xia declined and revived, and their clothes and clothes were lost and regained. Guan Zhong's contribution to assisting Zuo Qi Gong! Guan Zhong returned the land of Lu, restored the three kingdoms of Yan, Xing, and Wei and achieved hegemony. Isn't it similar to today? If the Great Sima sat back and watched Zhang Fang's defeat, then we can tell the time of Chang'an. It’s not that far away.”
Guan Hai believed this, so he opposed all opinions and sent a message to Xuzhou and Yuan Shu, saying that the situation was critical and proposing that the three armies should jointly rescue the Black Mountain Army. As Chen Chong expected, Yuan Shu of the Baibo Army reached a peace agreement within three days once he heard about Yang Feng's defeat, allowing the Baibo Army to send troops to Yanzhou.
Considering that the people's hearts were uncertain and more troops would only increase fear when sending troops this time, Guan Hai ordered the others to repair the defenses and led 30,000 elite troops out of Mount Tai. Most of the officers accompanying him were veterans of the Yellow Turbans. The famous ones include: former general He Yi, right general Ma Du, left general Liu Pi, rear general Sima Ju, Fenwu general Huang Shao, and Yingyang general He Man. , Taishan General Zhao Bo and others.
After Yang Feng and Han Xian entered Xuzhou, they recruited Zhang Rao's remaining troops in Xuzhou, and they also went with him on this expedition. Among them were General Zhang Yu of Zhendong, General Chen Bao of Pingdong, General Gong Du of Dingyuan, General Zheng Bao of Guiyi, General Xu Qian of Wuya, General Zhang Duo of Hengye and others.
Although these people have many names, almost all of them are generals, but it is because of the indiscriminate use of titles by the Linzi court. During this trip, the infantry under the general's command was no more than 3,000, and the cavalry was no more than 500. It was not as good as the general captain in the Han army. The total number of the two armies was less than 80,000, while the two Han armies surrounding Zhang Fang numbered 120,000. Neither Guan Hai nor Yang Feng had any idea whether they could defeat the enemy.
But in any case, it is commendable that the states can still help each other after the Linzi Rebellion. Although the accompanying sergeants looked tired and exhausted from the continuous battles, they did not complain when Du Guanhai gave the order. This is why they still dare to fight.
"The Puppet Dynasty has a camp in Yunmeng Mountain?" Guan Hai was surprised when the scout reported the news. His original plan was that after occupying Feicheng, he would first send troops to Yunmeng Mountain to cut off the Han army's northern grain route, and then harass and force the Han army to retreat southward, thus lifting the siege of Snake Hill. But now there was an obstacle in the first step, which made him a little anxious.
Guan Hai then asked: "How is the layout of the camp? How many people are there? Do you know who the guard is?" These scouts all scratched their tongues and asked clearly. They reported that the Han army was stationed one behind the other at the foot of Yunmeng Mountain. There are about 6,000 garrison troops in the two battalions, and the garrison general is Liu Deran, the captain of Dongping School.
Guan Hai breathed a sigh of relief when he found out it was Liu Deran. The Dongping Army has been established for ten years, and has fought back and forth with Qingxu Huangjin no less than thirty times. Both sides know the basics. In Guan Hai's view, although Liu Deran had been fighting with the army for a long time, he had never achieved any outstanding achievements. He was just taking advantage of Liu Bei's relatives. Therefore, Guan Hai smiled at his subordinates and said: "Liu Deran is a pig-hearted person. He has neither military skills nor literary skills. With Liu Xuande guarding the foot of the mountain, we can still fight!"
Having said that, he immediately prepared for war. Guan Hai walked out slowly from the mountains of Mount Tai this time, and his whereabouts were extremely hidden. Although the Han troops besieging the city were on guard, as time went by, there was no movement from the north, which made them somewhat relaxed, allowing Guan Hai to successfully occupy Feicheng.
Since Feicheng was occupied, Liu Bei must have also gotten the news. Although Guan Hai didn't know how he would react, after several years of fighting, he knew the importance of speeding up the war, so that day he led ten thousand people and strode southward.
Former general He Yi was a little surprised when he saw Guan Haishe walking on the high road through the mountains and forests, and asked him: "Didn't Great Sima say that he should travel secretly? Why should he take the high road? How can he be surprised by such a big fanfare?"
Guan Hai replied impatiently: "The enemy has a large camp at the foot of the mountain, and our army has occupied Feicheng. How can there be any surprise? The only urgent thing now is to attack quickly!"
Under the guidance of the local guide, they drew an arc from the side of Triangle Mountain and passed between Langwei Mountain and Wubu Ridge. At this time, the soldiers passed by a small stream. They stopped here for a while, filled the kettle with water, and ate some dry food. During this short period, Guan Hai sent another team of scouts to confirm the movements of the Han army in the mountain camp. They were less than twenty miles away from the enemy camp. The scouts came and went very quickly, and came back within two-quarters of an hour to say that the rebels were cleaning up the camp and preparing for the war, but the number of people and their arrangement remained largely unchanged.
Guan Hai said with great joy: "Okay! The puppet reinforcements haven't arrived yet! This is our army's opportunity!"
So they continued to march, and they reached the foot of the mountain around noon. When they turned a corner, they happened to see the Han army throwing iron pears in front of the camp. The two sides were only one mile apart, so Guan Hai immediately shouted an order and blew the trumpet, ordering the entire army to attack.
The first wave of attacks and casualties was the largest, but the generals around him, such as Wang Leigong, Li Feiyan, Yang Baique, Guo Daxian, Du Fuyun, etc., all wore thick armor and held knives, regardless of the enemy's arrows. The rain and the iron thorns on the ground rushed up like steel. And those soldiers with thin armor followed the path opened by the predecessors and surged up like a torrent.
At this time, the weather changed slightly, and suddenly there was an east wind blowing from the west. The strong wind roared and rolled up the sleeves and robes of the Han army in the mountain camp. Many Han soldiers who were facing the Gengcang army were unable to draw their bows. The Qi people took advantage of the situation and crossed the arrow siege, rushed to the antlers of the camp, and fought hand-to-hand with the Han army, starting a bloody battle.
Wang Leigong was the first to charge forward. Relying on his thick armor and bravery, he charged at the deer's antlers against the Han army's long iron, and soon knocked down a fence. Before he could catch up, he rushed forward and rushed into the crowd of Han soldiers to chop at them. He suffered dozens of wounds on his body without realizing it, but he still continued to kill. He cut down more than twenty people in a row. At this time, the blood had already soaked out of his uniform along the armor, and it was bloody red. He staggered a few times, waved the knife around a few times, and then slowly sat down.
But this has bought enough time for the people who came later. Li Feiyan and Du Fuyun followed closely and rushed into the camp, gradually tearing the hole in the mountain camp wider. More and more Geng Cang troops broke through the antlers, and the Han army was about to Bu Zhi collapsed. But at this time, forward Du Fuyun was pierced in the left leg and fell to the ground. When he saw the Han army swarming around him, he knew that death was inevitable, so he cursed at the enemy: "Hurry up, I just want to die quickly!" The Han army stabbed randomly with their spears, but Fuyun waved his hands to block and killed a few more people, and soon died. Death.
Amidst the strong wind, the gap to the west of the mountain camp became wider and wider. The Han army could not resist and scattered in all directions.
After Wang Leigong was rescued, it was discovered that he had been stabbed for more than ten times. Blood flowed from the wounds, and his flesh and blood were stuck to his uniform, making it impossible to untie him. Guan Hai learned that he was not going to die soon, so he quickly came to visit him. When he saw Lei Gong, his face was pale and it seemed that all the blood in his body was about to drain. Unexpectedly, Lei Gong still had strength at this time, so he took Guan Hai's hand. , said in a hoarse voice: "Quick, quick, sing the Taiping Sutra to me, I'm going to see the wise master Daliang."
Several soldiers looked at his half-smiling expression and shed tears. They knelt beside him and said, "There are hundreds of thousands of words in the Taiping Jing. Which part should I sing?" Lei Gong was already on his deathbed and could not say no. Out.
Someone then chanted a sutra: "May I ask why the three lights of the sky always eclipse evil?" "It is the great anger of heaven and earth, the war between heaven and earth, and its effect is reflected in the sun, moon and stars. However, it can also eclipse, or it can not eclipse. The fault lies with Yin and Yang. Fighting with anger." "Why fight?" "Yin and Yang compete with each other to determine the winner. We should love each other, so why harm each other?"
He also recited the name of the Tao and made a wish: "The disciple will transcend heaven and earth, return to nature, and the spirit will transform into the Tao."
After reading it, Wang Leigong passed away. Wang Lei Gong, whose real name is Wang Fu, is just an ordinary farmer's boy. However, since he entered Taiping Dao, he has sacrificed his life and forgotten death. He is tough and good at fighting. He will be trapped in every battle. Therefore, he is compared to Lei Gong in Taoism.

Gengcang troops poured into the camp to search and kill the remaining enemies. Li Feiyan saw an enemy general wearing light yellow armor and a red military uniform, leading a white horse passing by. Seeing the white horse's strong figure, he thought to himself that this must be a wealthy man. He caught up with him, grabbed his belt, threw him to the ground, held down his head, and tried to cut off his head. The man was frightened and said quickly: "Don't kill me. I am Liu Deran, the captain of Dongping School, and the younger brother of the general. Send me for reward!" He took out a bag of gold from his arms and gave it to Li Feiyan.
Feiyan let him go and asked him to lead the horse in front, while she followed behind with a knife. He saw the chaos around him and defeated soldiers passing by from time to time. He was worried that the Han army would come to rescue Deran and he would not be able to deal with it by himself, so it was better to deal with him first. So he took advantage of his unpreparedness and killed Deran from behind, cut off his head and left.
