Shen Dan said: "I heard that the new emperor of Western Shu sent troops from Xiangyang this time to attack Fancheng and plot against the Central Plains. Soochow Wu launched three groups of troops. Zhuge Liang left Qishan and confronted the governor. The Central Plains is very critical. Now we are here The Xincheng and Shangyong we are guarding are very close to Xiangyang. If Xiangyang soldiers and horses come to kill us, what should we do?" Shen Yi said: "We only have less than 20,000 defenders. Facing an enemy force of 100,000, it is really difficult. If it is difficult to support, it is better to send a close friend to report to the Grand Governor and ask for troops and horses to be sent for support."
Shen Dan said: "Now that the Central Plains is surrounded by enemies, who can still find the energy to send troops and horses to help? I heard that Liu Shao and Tian Yu rushed to Fancheng with a hundred thousand troops, so it is better to go to them and ask for help."
Shen Yi nodded and said, "Your idea coincides with mine. I will send someone to ask for help right now."
At this moment, a scout suddenly came to report that Xiangyang soldiers and horses had led the army across the Xiangjiang River and had arrived below Fancheng.
Shen Dan was very happy after hearing this and said with a smile: "In this case, we don't need to rescue him!"
Shen Yi was very confused after hearing this and said: "Why is this?"
He replied: "The new emperor aims at the Central Plains and is naturally not interested in remote places like ours. Now that the Shu soldiers have crossed the Xiangjiang River and are preparing to attack Fancheng with all their strength, they will have no energy to control us, so we will be relatively safe. "
Shen Yi still felt uneasy and said: "If the new emperor captures Fancheng and we stay in the rear and pose a hidden danger, the new emperor will not sit idly by and do nothing. He will definitely return to destroy us."
After hearing this, Shen Dan's face changed and he said: "If you hadn't warned me, I would have almost missed the important event. In this case, you can take some troops and horses close to Xiangyang to understand the situation. If the opponent really attacks Fancheng with all its strength, you can sneak attack on its rear. , cut off the return route, and prevent the Shu army from looking at each other, and they will definitely be in chaos."
So after the two men discussed, they planned for Shen Yi to lead five thousand soldiers and horses to cut off the Shu army's retreat. Shen Dan took charge of the new city and sent envoys to Fancheng to report the secrets and prepare for a two-pronged encirclement to wipe out the Shu army.
It is said that Yuyi asked Xiaoli to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses as the vanguard force, and Xu Da responded from behind. Xiaoli led the troops to walk quickly and came to the bottom of the city wall of Fancheng. In order to create the momentum of the army pressing down, Xiaoli separated a group of troops. Thousands of soldiers and horses set fire to the rear, creating a situation of billowing smoke, making the enemy unaware of the reality. He led four thousand soldiers and horses to surround Fancheng.
Yu Yi and Huang Shumin walked up the shore of Xiangyang. They hid in the mountains during the day and started marching at night, and soon arrived near the new city.
It is said that Shen Yi has crossed the Xiangjiang River and arrived at Zancheng. Just after eating, he received intelligence that the Shu army had surrounded Fancheng. After hearing this, Shenyi laughed and told the governor of Zancheng the plan. He was very proud. Said: "It seems that everything is under our control. This time, we must defeat the Shu army, and then take advantage of the situation to attack Xiangyang, contribute to the country, and regain the land of Jingzhou."
As for Shen Dan, he played with beautiful women day and night, because he also obtained information about the Shu army's attack on Fancheng, and thought that he could sit back and relax and enjoy it.
Yuyi set up the camp ten miles away from the new city. The sergeants could only eat one meal a day, and it was late at night to prevent the thick smoke generated by burying the pots to make rice from affecting the entire plan.
At ten o'clock that night, Yu Yi was reading in the camp. At this time, Huang Shumin came and said goodbye: "Now the moon is covered by clouds and it is pitch black. This is our opportunity to attack the new city. Your Majesty, please appoint me as the vanguard to attack." New Town.”
Yu Yi stood up suddenly, walked outside the camp to check the situation, nodded with a smile, and said: "That's right, I'll go with you!"
Huang Shumin said: "Your Majesty is a man of great dignity and cannot easily take risks. He only needs to support you from behind. Can I lead the troops myself?" After saying that, he turned and left.
This time Yu Yi and Huang Shumin only brought 10,000 troops and horses. Yu Yi distributed 8,000 troops and horses to Huang Shumin. He planned to leave 2,000 troops and horses to support them, but Huang Shumin refused. She left the camp with only 3,000 troops and horses. The rest is left to Yuyi to handle.
That day happened to be a good day for Shen Danxin to buy a beautiful woman. She drank a lot without realizing it. The beautiful woman secretly added some powder to the big pot of rice, which made the soldiers in the entire camp listless. Around the second watch, the beauty came out to look at the sky and found that the moon had disappeared and she could not see her fingers, so she set a fire in the south of the new city. At this time, Huang Shumin had already led his troops to the south gate. When he saw the fire, he sighed: "Little flower You didn't let us down!" After saying that, he led his soldiers and horses to kill him.
The gate of the south gate of the new city had already been lowered, and several nearby guards were lying dead on the spot. It was Xiaohua who was waiting for Huang Shumin at the door. But this time Huang Shumin took the new city without spending any energy.
Since all the Wei troops in the new city were in a coma, Huang Shumin sneaked into the city and tied them up. However, Shen Dan's ministers were not in the city that day, so they did not drink the ecstasy. When they returned to the city, they found that the enemy had killed them. After coming in, he quickly went to Shen Dan's mansion, asked the soldiers to wrap him in a quilt, then put on his horse and fled outside the city.
Xiaohua led Huang Shumin's troops to Shen Dan's mansion. After entering the mansion, she found that Shen Dan had disappeared. Xiaohua really wanted to explain. Suddenly, soldiers came to report that someone saw Wei Jun leading Shen Dan from the north. door to leave.
Xiaohua didn't know what happened. As everyone came to chase, Shen Dan sent heavy troops to defeat the enemy. Huang Shumin and others lost some of their strength. After repelling the Wei army, Shen Dan also walked away.
Xiaohua explained: "The person who rescued Shen Dan was his close minister. He had been patrolling outside before. Now he happened to return. He found that he was attacked by our army, so he went straight to Shen Dan's mansion and rescued him."
The Shu army captured Xincheng without bloodshed, and Xiaohua was indispensable. After getting the information, Yuyi came to Xincheng in person. After entering, he was very happy to hear Huang Shumin tell what happened, and rewarded Xiaohua.
It turns out that Xiaohua was an orphan taken in by Xiaoli. She was very talented and good-looking, so she was trained by Xiaoli. Later, she heard that the Shen brothers in Xincheng were very hot-tempered, and hoped to imitate Diao Chan and drive a wedge between the two to attack Xincheng. A good foundation, but not long after she entered the new city, Shen Yi was deceived by her brother Shen Dan and went to support Fancheng, while Shen Dan came to enjoy Xiaohua by herself.
In this way, Xiaohua sacrificed her body in exchange for Shen Dan's trust. She secretly maintained a single line of contact with Huang Shumin and passed on information about Xincheng. When Yuyi had the idea to attack Xincheng, Xiaohua felt that her opportunity had come. So she came up with this strategy, and it happened that Yu Yi and others had just arrived near the new city, and the moon was covered by clouds at 2 o'clock, forming a perfect opportunity of darkness, so she put the ecstasy potion in the place where the Wei army gathered to drink water. He even coaxed Shen Dan to get drunk, and finally achieved this glorious espionage career. Yu Yi not only rewarded him, but also awarded him the title of King of Spies in the Shu Army, calling on all spies. Workers learn from them.
