Before he finished speaking, rolling logs and stones were thrown down from the mountain. Qu Nai's father had no choice but to lead his troops to avoid it. Then he told Yu Qi: "Shen's army has established a stronghold in a dangerous position. If a strong attack is not good for me, I can only outwit..." See Seeing that it was getting late, the Chu army had no choice but to set up camp on the opposite hillside and make further plans.
At this moment, in the Shenjun camp on the mountain, General Wushenman, the general who defended the enemy in Dongshan, summoned the generals guarding the tops of the mountains to the tent to discuss a plan to defeat the enemy. Deputy General Peng Zhongshuang said: "The Chu army has just arrived, showing its sharpness and high morale. Qu Naifu, the general of Chu's army, is both wise and brave, and has the courage to be unstoppable by ten thousand people. The current plan is to avoid his sharp edge, rely on danger to resist the enemy, and stay in seclusion. Go out. As time goes by, the Chu army will run out of food and fodder, and they will inevitably become anxious. Wait for the enemy to reveal its flaws and then counterattack, and they will surely win a complete victory!"
The general Jian Suo said: "This is the opinion of a scholar. The Chu army has just arrived and is in a sparse place. Only by taking advantage of the Chu army's unstable footing and making a sudden attack can we win. The Chu army will camp on the opposite hillside and will not be prepared. , why not take the opportunity to make a sneak attack? Once the opportunity passes, it will be too late!"
Wu Shenman said: "General Jian's words make sense. Qu Nai's father, the Chu general, is known as a victorious general, but his reputation is actually in vain. I am determined to let his reputation be ruined here and his prestige be ruined!" So he ordered the generals to guard their respective areas carefully. On the top of the mountain, he and Jian Suo led five thousand troops to sneak attack the Chu camp.
At night, it was so dark that I couldn't see my fingers, and I couldn't see my teeth when I opened my mouth. A few insects chirped in the silent mountain forest. When the troops led by Shen Jiang Wu Shenman and Jian Suo reached both sides of the Chu camp, it was already the third watch. The lights in the Chu camp were brightly lit, illuminating the gate in front of the slope like daylight. There was probably a sentinel placed in the dark, and the sentinel's figure blended in with the big tree on the slope, and only the cloth on his body was fluttering in the breeze. The two of them raised fire as a signal as agreed in advance and rushed into the Chu camp together. When I opened the tent and took a look, I was surprised to see a few straw men sitting in front of the desk. It turned out to be an empty camp.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Wu Shenman called Jian Suo and said, "Quickly retreat!" Before he could finish his words, he heard the sound of a cannon. Qu Naifu on the left and Yu Qi on the right came in to fight together. Jian Suo blocked Yu Qi and shouted loudly: "General Wushen is about to cut off the rear, and leave quickly!" As he spoke, Yu Qi was already approaching. Jian Suo was unwilling to fight, so he took away the snake spear in Yu Qi's hand, and suddenly opened his mouth, and a stream of black smoke was sprayed towards Yu Qi's door. Yu Qi's eyes suddenly burned like daggers, and he was knocked off his horse with a single shot from Jiansuo. When Jian Suo raised his gun again, Qu Nai's father had already arrived and blocked Jian Suo's poisonous spear with his sword. Yu Qi was rescued by Chu soldiers. Jian Suo knew that Qu Nai's father was brave, so he made a false shot and retreated immediately. Qu Naifu nocked an arrow and drew his bow, hitting Jian's heart in the back of the rope. Jian Suo fell off his horse and was killed by the Chu army who caught up behind him. Qu Naifu led his troops closely behind Wu Shenman and captured the pass in one go. After Yu Dongshan fell, the soldiers led by Qu Naifu fought to the Tuanhe River overnight.
It was already daybreak. Xiong Tong and Dou Yuqiang saw that the other side was full of Chu troops. Knowing that Qu Naifu and Yu Qi had succeeded, they quickly crossed the river. Seeing that there was no danger to defend, Wu Shenman ordered Peng Zhong to cool down and led the rest of his troops back to Shendu. The Chu army surrounded him and trapped Peng Zhongshuang in Gaixin. In the panic, Dou Yuqiang picked him off his horse. The Chu army swarmed up and captured him alive.
Peng Zhongshuang was taken into the Chu camp and stood up without kneeling. Xiong Tongtong: "I know that generals are brave and resourceful, and they are rare talents. Wu Shenman didn't listen to the general's words, so he was defeated like this. If you are willing to return to Chu, it will be a blessing for me, and it will be a blessing for me, the great Chu." ..." After saying that, he came over and used the Chixiao Sword to cut the rope for him.
I heard that Xiong Tong had a violent temper, but I didn't expect that he was humble and courteous. It seemed that Shen would be defeated by Chu one day... So he said: "The criminal general is so virtuous and capable. He is so praised and loved by the king. I can't deserve it... It's just a small family." I’m still in Shendu City, and I’m waiting to be a monk, so I must come and vote!”
Xiong Tongtong: "Okay, I can trust you. No matter when you return to Chu, the gates of my country in Chu will be open for you!" Peng Zhongshuang was even more grateful when he saw this.
Peng Zhongshuang returned to Shendu City alone and shouted loudly: "I am Peng Zhongshuang, please open the city gate and let me in!"
Wu Shenman appeared at the top of the city and shouted loudly: "I heard that you have surrendered to Chu. How else can Xiong Tong let you back? The king has an order to force Chu troops to press the border. The city gates cannot be opened casually. Your identity is unknown at the moment. , who knows if you were sent by the Chu army to gain the city for them? The king said that if you can get Xiong Tong's head, you can be let into the city. Otherwise, hey, I'm afraid I'll never see your home again. Too small!"
It turns out that Wu Shenman is a villain who is jealous of talents. Seeing that Peng Zhongshuang was brave, resourceful, young and promising, and highly valued by Marquis Shen, he was worried that Peng Zhongshuang would one day surpass him, so he suppressed and continued to slander Marquis Shen. This time in the battle of Dongshan, because he did not listen to Peng Zhongshuang's advice and took risks, he fell into the Chu army's plan and was almost wiped out. When the Chu army approached, Peng Zhongshuang was only allowed to lead a small number of soldiers behind, aiming to get rid of Peng Zhongshuang with the help of the Chu people. When he learned that Peng Zhongshuang had become a prisoner of the Chu army, he falsely claimed that Peng Zhongshuang had surrendered to Chu, and took his wife and children to the top of the city... When Peng Zhongshuang saw this, he angrily said: "If you are a good member of the Shen Kingdom, I will ruin the country like you traitors." In your hands! Wu Shenman, let me in, I am about to meet the king!"
Wu Shenman said: "Just give up on this idea. The king will not see you. Who do you think this is?"
Peng Zhongshuang looked up and saw his wife and their young son in his arms. His wife shouted from the top of the city: "Husband, traitors are in charge. This is not a place to stay for a long time. I will give you the child for my wife..." After that, she threw the infant child from the top of the city. Peng Zhongshuang hurriedly jumped down from the chariot, jumped to the bottom of the city, and caught his youngest son. Then he heard his wife shouting: "You have taken the first step for your wife, so you can take care of yourself!" Just as he was about to jump down, Wu Shenman behind him raised his hand and stabbed her through the back with a sword.
Peng Zhongshuang felt like his heart was cut by a knife when he saw it, and he yelled angrily towards the city: "Wu Shenman, you are a traitor who harms people and the country. You are jealous of talents and talents, and you harm loyal people. You will not die well!"
At this moment, arrows like locusts appeared on the top of the city. Peng Zhongshuang quickly drew out his sword, held his son in one hand and waved the sword in the other, and stepped back. At this moment, an arrow suddenly hit the young son. Peng Zhongshuang was immediately grief-stricken and shouted angrily at Wu Shenman at the top of the city: "Wu Shenman, you are a thief who is worse than a beast. One day, if you fall into the hands of this general, you will be cut into pieces!"
Later, someone wrote a poem about Wu Shenman's misadventure of the country and the king, and the murder of Zhongliang. The poem goes:
The treacherous and deceitful words confuse the saints, and the king and his ministers defeat the evildoers.
The loyal ministers and good generals had no choice but to wait until the thunderbolt shook the ninth level!
Peng Zhongshuang buried the remains of his youngest son and returned to the Chu camp with a sad face. Xiong Tong connected him to the camp and comforted him: "General, please express your condolences. When Shen City is taken, I will definitely avenge your wife and children..." Then He told the generals: "The matter of General Peng's return to Chu has not been finalized. How come Shen knew it so quickly? It's really strange!"
Qu Nai's father said: "It seems that there must be a spy from Shen in the Chu camp..."
Xiong Tong couldn't help being startled when he saw this, so he said: "Spy? If it is really a spy, I must find him out... Who does the general think it is?"
Qu Nai's father said: "I can't explain clearly at the moment. I can only catch him when he shows his fox tail..."
Early the next morning, a large group of troops led by Xiong Tong approached Xie Yi, the capital of Shen. At this time, Ji Xuanjiu, king of Zhou Ping, heard that the Chu army was attacking Shen and approaching Xie Yi, the capital of Shen, and ordered the nearby Lu and Xu countries to immediately send troops to rescue. When the Chu army arrived near Xie Yi, reinforcements from Lu and Xu also arrived. Upon seeing this, Marquis Shen ordered Wu Shenman to lead his troops out of the city, join the reinforcements from Lu and Xu, and set up camp, determined to fight the Chu army to the death.
Xiong Tong didn't take the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces seriously at all, and personally led the army to the front of the battle. Wu Shenman pointed at Xiong Tong and cursed: "You are a traitor. You don't shut yourself up at home and think about your mistakes, but you invade our territory with force. If you know what is going on, go back quickly and spare your life. Otherwise, you will never come back and die." No burial place!”
Xiong Tong was furious and waved the Red Xiao Sword forward. Generals Qu Naifu and Dou Yuqiang led the Chu army to cover up the attack. Wu Shenman also led the troops of Shen, Lu and Xu to rush forward. The two sides immediately started fighting. It was a fierce battle, until the sky was darkened, the sun and the moon lost all light.
