When he learned that the Han army had set up camp in Yunmeng Mountain again, Guan Hai repeated his old tactics and personally led his army to attack the camp.
It's just that Zhang Xian's troops are no better than Liu Deran. The site for building the camp is extremely elegant. The mountain camp is not only surrounded by mountains on three sides, but also divided into two. Guan Hai can only attack one side from the front, and it is impossible to climb over the mountain. After three attempts at the camp, it is almost no progress.
The same was true for Yang Feng and his party on the South Road. Guan Yu personally took charge of the Pishan camp. And Guan Yu's bravery was not only thunderous among the Xiongnu and Bai Bo, but also had the reputation of "Guan Hu" even among the Yellow Turbans. When he was cutting the camp, he saw the ink-colored "Guan" flag floating on the camp, and almost everyone was timid to fight. . Even if there are only 4,000 sergeants in the camp, as long as Guan Yu's iconic green robe appears in front of the formation, no one can hold out for three or four rounds, let alone break the camp.
As time passed, the situation in the two cities became more and more critical. Guan Hai knew that he could no longer wait. If the camp failed, he would not be able to force the Han army to withdraw to relieve the siege. Then they can only change their strategy, unite the northern and southern armies, and fight the Han army under the city. But once the decisive battle happened, it was like stepping on a rope between cliffs. Leaves fell in the sea, and there was only a slim chance of survival. Therefore, Guan Haisheng hesitated and did not dare to make a decision easily.
On this day, Teng Dan, a clerk in Guan Hai's office, suddenly suggested a plan: "Ming Gong, since the battle is unfavorable, why don't we find another way?" Guan Hai didn't know why, so he asked: "In the battlefield, after all, military combat is the most important thing. Do you have any clever ideas? I hope you, sir, can teach me."
Teng Dan pointed to the south and smiled: "Ming Gong, didn't you hear the story about Wu Zixu killing King Liao of Wu?"
At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, King Ping of Chu was so mediocre that Prince Jian was falsely accused and a prison was set off. The great sage Wu Zixu and his family were implicated and all were killed. Only Wu Zixu fled to the state of Wu. The sadness in his heart was like the jade in Lantian, which became deeper and deeper as time went by. Therefore, Wu Zixu participated in the political affairs of the state of Wu and wanted to use the hands of the state of Wu to destroy Chu and take revenge.
But Wu Wangliao knew this very well and was indifferent no matter how Wu Zixu tried to persuade him. Wu Zixu thought to himself: "The King of Wu accepted me when I was desperate. It's hard to repay such a life-saving grace. But the hatred between my father and brother is as strong as Mount Wu. If I don't repay it in this life, I will be sorry for the souls under the Nine Springs. Whatever." , forget it, you can only be a bad person once, and you will have to apologize to King Wu again in the next life!"
So Wu Zixu secretly contacted Prince Guang, brother of King Liao of Wu, and recommended Zhuanzhu to him as an assassin. He also asked the master swordsmith Ou Yezi to make a fish intestine sword that was only half a foot short but extremely sharp. When Prince Guang invited King Liao of Wu to his home for a banquet, Zhuanzhu hid the fish intestine sword in the belly of the fish, then dressed as a man with a head and presented the fish.

When he came to King Wu, Zhuan Zhu suddenly took out his dagger and cut Wu King Liao's neck with his hand. King Wu's guards rushed over like flying clouds and stabbed Zhuan Zhu to death with a long sword. But at this time, Gongziguang released the ambushing warriors and killed all these guards. After this incident, Prince Guang got what he wanted and established himself as king, known as King Helu of Wu in history. Therefore, Helu deeply missed Wu Zixu's great kindness and re-appointed Wu Zixu as his prime minister. In the end, he took revenge, destroyed the country, burned the capital, opened the coffin and whipped the corpse.
Guan Hai was very moved after hearing this. After thinking for a moment, he had some new doubts. He said: "Helu can kill his colleagues because they are brothers. And our army and the puppet dynasty are enemies, how can we get it?" Meet Liu Xuande? Even if you can see that Liu Xuande is a general of the puppet dynasty, he must always be taken care of by his guards when he comes in and out. How can there be such a warrior who can succeed in assassination? "
When Teng Dan made this suggestion, he was obviously very confident. He clapped his hands and asked his subordinates to lead a person in. He pointed at the person and said, "As long as we let him carry out the assassination, he will succeed immediately and never miss a chance!"
Hearing such confident remarks, Guan Hai was surprised and couldn't help but look at the man's appearance carefully, but he was soon disappointed. This man is in his thirties, has a short beard and a red turban, wears Confucian clothes and cloth shoes, and looks like an ordinary official. Although his face is well-proportioned, it cannot be said to be handsome. Moreover, in front of Guan Hai, the man's fingers were trembling slightly, and he was obviously a little afraid. But his face was red, probably because he was excited.
Guan Hai smiled at Teng Dan and said, "When Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin, Qin Wuyang's demeanor was just like this. How dare you count on him?" In his words, he was planning to reject this plan.
But Teng Dan did not lose any composure and replied with a smile: "That's because Ming Gong is in a high position and has a lot of power, but he is not familiar with him! But if the person in front of him is Liu Xuande, it will be different."
Speaking of this, Teng Dan did not show off, and introduced to Guan Hai: "This Kong Zhen is Liu Xuande's old subordinate! When Liu Bei was the captain of Dongping, he was the chief of Jikuting Pavilion in Dongpinglu County, and Liu Bei It's quite congenial. The Dongping Army's training camp is located under his pavilion!"
When Guan Hai heard this, he said "Oh" and looked back at Kong Zhen. His eyes immediately changed. He asked: "What position do you hold in the army now?" Kong Zhen lowered his head and replied slowly: "This is the great Sima, I'm here. There are only a hundred stone officials in the army, and they are usually responsible for transporting grain."
Guan Hai didn't want his position to be so low, and suddenly didn't know what to say, so he asked Teng Dan, "How did you find him?"
Teng Dan said: "I have had an idea about this for a long time. I have always wanted to find a Dongping veteran in the army. It is an unexpected surprise to find him!"
"Since he is close to Liu Bei, can he really be trusted?"
"Kong Zhen is a filial son. The reason why he joined our army was forced by the puppet government! And his parents are also members of the church! They stayed in Puyang before. Years ago, he was transferred to Linzi to serve because of his practical work. Unexpectedly, both my parents were killed by the puppet dynasty. Although I once made an alliance with Liu Bei, my hatred against the puppet dynasty is as deep as the sea and I will never repeat it. That’s why I boldly proposed this proposal to Duke Ming." He said these words At this time, Guan Hai looked over again and saw Kong Zhen clenching her fists, with fire almost coming out of her eyes.
At this point, Teng Dan finally revealed his plan. He planned to let Kong Zhen lead a hundred people and more than a dozen carts of food and drink to the military camp in the name of the people of Dongping to reward the army. Then ask to see Liu Bei in the name of an old friend of Dongping. Liu Bei will definitely have it. At that time, Kong Zhen can offer poisoned wine in public. If Liu Bei doesn't drink it, Kong Zhen can also hide a short sword and a sharp blade on Kong Zhen's body, like Zhuanzhu. It killed him!
After Teng Dan finished speaking, the camp was silent for a while, with only Guan Hai pacing back and forth. The more he thought about it, the more he realized that this plan was brilliant. When he spoke to Teng Dan again, he held Teng Dan's hand tightly and said to him: "Zihe, then I will leave this matter to you! Once the matter is completed, I am willing to appoint you as the Sili school captain!" Then he said to Kong Zhen: "Kong Jun, the lives of tens of thousands of people in the two counties are in your hands."
Kong Zhen finally stood firm. He nodded slightly to Guan Hai and whispered, "Don't you dare disobey me."
After leaving the camp gate, the sun shone on Kong Zhen's body, and his demeanor improved a little. Teng Dan said to him: "You go to rest today. You will have nothing to do in the past few days. Wait until I make arrangements." I'll let you know later." After saying that, he leaned over again and whispered to him: "If you have any unfulfilled wishes, you can do it now. If you are short of money and people, I will try my best to arrange it. .”
After Kong Zhen heard what he said, he shook his head numbly and said, "I have no other requirements. I only hope that after I die, Duke Teng can keep his promise and take good care of my wife and children for me." Teng Dan looked dead when he saw him. Zhi, so he had to bow to him and go arrange other things first.
The autumn wind is bleak, the leaves are falling like rain, and the late autumn sun is slowly moving westward. When it was time for training, most of the soldiers walked out of the camp. Kong Zhen stood by the road alone. After they had all finished, he slowly walked back to the camp. Since being valued by Teng Dan, Kong Zhen and other generals generally had separate sleeping tents. The silent atmosphere was suffocating, but it also made people sensitive. Kong Zhen just lay on the couch thinking about the past with thousands of thoughts.
He pulled out his sword and looked at it again and again. Suddenly he wanted to say something, only to find that there was no one around him. So he walked out of the barracks and wanted to find someone to talk to. But as she walked, Kong Zhen suddenly felt that it was good to be alone, so she stood by the roadside and counted the broken and scattered fallen leaves on the ground.
Suddenly, he discovered a little bit of green in the dusk. It turned out to be a clump of dark green yarrow. He had passed by here frequently before and had never noticed it. Seeing them at this time, Kong Zhen thought: In ancient times, yarrow was used for divination. Now I suddenly see them. I am afraid it is a warning from God!
So he picked fifty yarrow roots and performed divination according to the "Yi". In the end, the divination was from the top to the bottom, which was a mistake. He couldn't figure it out himself, so he went to ask Teng Dan. Teng Dan was very happy to hear it. He explained: "Li is fire, Dui is Ze, fire is on the lake. This is a host and a guest! If you explain it according to the common saying, it means that you If you go there, you are bound to die. In the Book of Changes, the answer to this problem is mostly to end with no blame, and it also means good luck when it rains. It means that if you go there, you will definitely succeed immediately!"
After hearing this, Kong Zhen smiled slightly and said, "If this is really the case, I will give Duke Teng an explanation."
After another two days, Teng Dan finally gathered more than a hundred Dongping believers who were not worried. As mentioned before, sixteen carts of food and pots of pulp were prepared and entrusted to them. Kong Zhen looked over and saw that the carts were all pulled by oxen. Except for herself, everyone was wearing short brown cloth clothes, and their faces were covered with the weather that comes from working in the fields for a long time.
Because the matter was important and not suitable for making a big fuss, Guan Hai did not send anyone to see him off, leaving Teng Dan with full authority to handle the matter. Teng Dan sent them to a place about ten miles east of Fucheng, Dongping, and said to them: "We can only send them here, and the rest depends on you."
After that, Teng Dan whispered a few words to a white-haired old man. The old man took out a wine bottle from the car. The wine bottle was ordinary, neither old nor new, and was a commonly used style in Yanzhou.
Teng Dan handed it to Kong Zhen and whispered to him: "This is poisonous wine. If you have the chance, you can poison a few more people. But if the time is not good and you cannot take it, there is still something under the wine pot." There is a secret compartment with a short knife hidden inside, which can be hidden from the guards. You can take it out soon after you set off. This knife blows hair and breaks hair. It is so sharp that it can definitely kill Liu Bei with one strike!"
Kong Zhen took the wine flask, opened the secret compartment and examined it for a moment, then closed it again, nodded to Teng Dan and said, "I understand."
