Ji Han Da Sima

Chapter 106 Greed
Yuzhang, Geyang County (now Yiyang).

"Cheng Pu, I'm going to knock you down, your eighteenth-born mother!"

"Han Dang, I'll poke your mother!"

"Guisun, if you have the guts, come down and have a fight."

At the foot of Turtle Mountain, the Jingzhou soldiers insulted Cheng Pu and Han Dang with the Yuzhang slang, trying to make them angry and go down the mountain to challenge them.

In the Jiangdong military camp, Cheng Pu stood on the watchtower, holding the hilt of his sword tightly and saying nothing in anger.Han Dang was pacing back and forth with an angry look on his face. He wanted to get angry but couldn't.

Three months ago, they dispatched troops from Taimo County in the Danyang Mountains, followed the Yushui River, and met the two generals Guan Yu and Huang Zhong.Guan Yu sent Huang Zhong to attack the camp. The two men sent troops to attack it. Huang Zhong was defeated and fled. The two men pursued him. Guan Yu took advantage of the situation and rushed out and defeated the two men.

The two gathered more than [-] defeated troops and retreated to Guishan Mountain.Guan Yu stationed troops at the foot of the mountain, shouting and cursing day and night. Cheng Pu Nian was no match for Guan Yu, so he stood firm and refused to leave.Guan Yu couldn't bear it anymore and sent his men to try to attack the mountain, but they were blocked by rolling rocks and trees on the mountain. Hundreds of people were killed and injured, and they could not enter the camp.

After that, one side relied on the geographical advantage to hold on to the camp, and the other side relied on the slightly superior force. The two sides faced off for more than sixty days.No matter how much Guan Yu ordered his soldiers to yell and curse at the foot of the mountain, Cheng Pu couldn't hold on, and the two armies entered a state of attrition.

"Guan Yu, a common man, speaks so vulgarly, arrogantly claiming to be the prince of the Han Dynasty." Han Dang angrily pounded the crossbar upstairs and said, "I shouldn't have fallen into Huang Zhong's plan to cheat defeat that day, otherwise how could I see him showing off his evil deeds today?" .”

Han Dang and Cheng Pu were veterans of the third generation. Following Sun Jian's rise to war, they were now high-ranking people who were respected by others and could not be insulted by anyone.Over the past few decades, the two of them, from their eighteenth generation ancestors to their descendants, have not escaped the insults of Jingzhou soldiers.

That's fine, but these Jingzhou soldiers insulted their ancestors in front of his men. They always talked about their dead mother and used physical insults. How could they endure this?
"Cheng Pu, is this your wife and concubine?"

A soldier in the Jingzhou army dressed in women's clothing and pretended to be Cheng Pu's wife was dragged and oiled by the soldiers.

"Haha, Cheng Pugui's son!" Everyone laughed in unison.

"asshole!"

When Han Dang saw such a scene, he was furious. He raised his hands and said, "Mr. Cheng, how can I bear such an insult? Now that the enemy is unprepared, I should charge down the mountain and take their heads to vent my anger!"

"Guan Yu Su Xiao's military strategy, An can be unprepared?"

Cheng Pu gritted his teeth, stopped Han Dang, and said, "The insults you use today are just to get us down the mountain and lure us into fighting. The righteous man must not fall into his trap!"

"When can we fight?"

Han Dang was born in a border county of Youzhou. He had a temper that was bigger than ordinary people. He was pointed at his nose and insulted for dozens of days, and he had already been holding back a fire in his heart.

Cheng Pu squinted his eyes and said: "The day before yesterday, a certain scout found that Guan Yu's army was short of food, and a batch of food and grass was coming. I have ordered the scout to go down the mountain to investigate, and wait for him to return to see how the situation is!"

About an hour later, the scout whom Cheng Pu had been thinking about for a long time finally returned to the camp covered in dust.

"How?" Han Dang asked first.

The scout cupped his hands and said, "General, I and my brothers went west to investigate and captured three enemy scouts. They found that the grain transport team was approaching, and they were still about thirty miles away from the enemy camp."

Cheng Pu and Han Dang looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes.

Han Dang asked: "How many people are there in the grain transport team, and who is escorting it?"

"Back to the general, according to what the scout said, the enemy's grain transport team was escorted by Captain Zhang Nan, with about 800 or [-] soldiers and horses." The scout said, "I tortured many people who said the same thing, and sent fast horses to investigate, but there was no trace. mistake."

Han Dang asked the scouts to retreat and said anxiously: "Mr. Cheng, Guan Yu's army is short of food. If we can burn down the food transport team now, Guan Yu's army will have nothing to eat. When his army runs out of food and retreats, our army will pursue them." , you can defeat the enemy."

Cheng Pu stroked his beard and said: "It's a good plan, but I'm afraid it's Guan Yu's trick again to lure me down the mountain."

Han Dang was quite displeased and said: "Why is Chenggong so afraid of Guan Yu? He is just an ordinary man with bravery and occasionally has tricks. Guan Yu has been confronting our army for dozens of days, and there are no grain trucks. If the grain is being transported now, it must be because his army is short of grain." also."

"Mr. Cheng, you must not miss this opportunity!" Han Dang earnestly advised: "If you are worried, you might as well lead your troops to hold on to the camp, and then lead your troops to rob the grain."

"it is good!"

When Cheng Pu heard Han Dang's words, he made up his mind and said: "Yi Gong led a thousand and five hundred people to rob the grain. If the food and grass cannot be brought back, they will be burned on the spot. A certain man led more than a thousand people to guard the camp for the righteous public." Hold the line."

"No!" Han Dang cheered up and stood up.

……

Twenty miles away from Guishan, a small team of more than a thousand civilians was pushing grain in large and small carts.Zhang Nan led more than [-] Jingzhou soldiers to escort him and marched on the narrow path.

Zhang Nan, who was riding on horseback, yawned and fell asleep.

"Please hold my horse!"

Feeling sleepy, Zhang Nan could no longer hold on and handed the reins to his subordinates.I found a grain cart, wrapped myself in a blanket, and slept in the grain cart.

"Come to the military camp and wake me up!" Zhang Nan closed his eyes and shouted.

"promise!"

Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking through the air, and a cold arrow whizzed past Zhang Nan's head.Zhang Nan, who had just closed his eyes in fright, rolled off the grain cart, hid under the cart, and shouted: "Enemy attack!"

At this time, there were many flags in the mountains on both sides, the shouts of killing were loud, and dense crowds of Jiangdong soldiers came out of the woods.

Han Dang led the cavalry, leading the horse. He held a bent bow, opened the bow and nocked an arrow. The arrow flew out, and a Jingzhou soldier died at the sound.The cavalry behind him held spears and stabbed to death several Jingzhou sergeants who tried to resist.

The farmers escorting the grain and grass had never seen such a formation before. They either fled in all directions or hid in corners and shivered.

The farmers fled in fear of the battle, but the Jingzhou sergeants who escorted the grain and grass were fighting tenaciously.Zhang Nan, who had just been relaxing and sleeping, shouted loudly to hundreds of famous soldiers on the left and right to assemble, rely on car formations, and fight with the Jiangdong soldiers who rushed out.

Han Dang rode his horse to the unguarded pile of grain and grass. He drew his sword and cut open the sack. He saw a pile of fine sand flowing out of the bag. There was no grain anywhere.

In an instant, Han Dang broke into a cold sweat. Looking around at the noisy battlefield, his head suddenly felt dizzy.

"General, it's not food and grass, it's sand and gravel!" A soldier who tried to burn the food and grass also discovered something fishy.

Han Dang turned the horse's head and shouted at the top of his lungs: "This is a treacherous plot by the enemy, withdraw your troops quickly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the horn sounded loudly, and the shouts of killing came from an even bigger battle.

Zhang Fei rode his horse out from behind the mountain and shouted, "Han Dang, don't leave. Do you recognize Zhang Yide from Yan?"

"Zhang Fei!"

Hearing this, Han Dang looked at Zhang Fei who was coming towards him and was frightened to death.If Zhang Fei was not under Liu Bei's tent, why would he suddenly appear here now?

"Damn!"

I saw Zhang Fei leading more than a hundred cavalry, charging into the formation amidst shouts of killing.Because those Jiangdong soldiers were killed in an ambush, the military formation had long been in chaos, and they were fighting with the soldiers who were guarding the grain.Today, Zhang Fei led his cavalry to charge in. Although he tried his best to organize a resistance, he was unable to hold his position.

A Jiangdong cavalryman roared forward. Zhang Fei galloped past with his horse and stabbed him over with the spear in his hand.The rest of Jiangdong's sergeants became increasingly confused. They turned from ambushers to pursuers and scattered around to avoid them.

The Jingzhou cavalry galloped forward, slashing and stabbing with their swords and spears, killing the fleeing Jiangdong Army infantry and tearing their formation apart.After the cavalry, more than a thousand Jingzhou sergeants came out. Those Jiangdong soldiers were completely defeated and fled all over the mountains and fields. No matter how much the officers shouted, it was in vain.

"withdraw!"

Han Dang knew that he had been ambushed and ordered his infantry to retreat. He relied on his own force and led his cavalry to the rear.However, it didn't matter that he was in the rear. What mattered was that he was being targeted by Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei led his cavalry to destroy most of the Jiangdong army in a very short period of time, and reached Han Dang's own army under Han Dynasty.

During the charge, Zhang Fei became more and more courageous as he fought. His saddle was dyed red, and he flew with a spear in his hand to deflect the arrows that were shot in the face.Even if a few arrows missed, they were stuck by the heavy armor and could not hurt them at all.

"Where is Han Dang? Do you dare to fight with me, Zhang Yide?"

Seeing Zhang Fei being so aggressive in front of him, Han Dang was also furious, and the veins in his hand holding the reins had already popped out.He was known to be outstanding with his bow and horse, and he had been fighting with Sun Jian for decades, and he had never been afraid of anything.Today, he was beaten in such a humiliating way. Seeing Zhang Fei leading his cavalry in danger alone, Han Dang was not afraid to raise his spear and go forward.

"kill!"

Han Dang led dozens of cavalry to kill them.

The two cavalrymen were like strange pythons, fighting fiercely on the mountain road.

When Han Dang stabbed a knight to death with his spear, a burly knight suddenly appeared in front of him, waving his spear, and rode towards him.Han Dang wanted to raise his spear and stab Lai Qi directly in the chest, but he unexpectedly blocked the attack and turned back, making him heavy-handed.

Han Dang immediately felt the huge force coming from him. He, who had always been proud of his physical strength, suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.Immediately afterwards, Han ducked down and dodged a sweeping spear tip, avoiding Lai Qi's killer move.

After the horse went wrong, Han Dang saw the face of the man clearly. It was Zhang Fei!

Zhang Fei grinned and said: "Han Dang didn't get off his horse and quickly returned to surrender to General Zuo. General Guan has already attacked the camp from a small road. If everything goes as planned, the camp has been captured by our army."

Han subconsciously looked up at the camp, but he couldn't see anything because it was too far away.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Fei laughed ferociously and rode towards him.In his memory, anyone who dared to lose focus during a battle with him would either die or die.Relying on the speed of his horse, Zhang Fei rushed in front of Han Dang in a few steps. When he was two feet away from Han Dang, he reached out and struck with all his strength.Following his movements, the sharp blade split the air and let out a soft whistle.

This move was almost Zhang Fei's best effort. It was both steady and accurate, with a hint of coldness that went straight to Han Dang's heart.

The speed was too fast, and Han Dang had no way to hide. However, he relied on his instincts to gallop forward, raised his arm with all his strength, and pressed forward, sinking his arm to meet Lai's arm.The two swords blocked each other, making a crisp collision sound.

The impact of horsepower and the collision of physical strength.The force of the counterattack after encountering a block is simply not something that ordinary people can bear.Han Dang only felt a huge pain in his wrist bones, and the tiger's mouth was even more swollen. He couldn't hold the long stick at all, and his body was shaking.

Just after the wrong horse, a whistling wind passed behind Han Dang's head.Zhang Fei struck back with a wave of his hand without any impact, knocking Han Dang off his horse as he was already shaking.

With a plop, Han Dang fell off the horse, smashed to pieces and in a state of embarrassment.When Han Dang came to his senses, the hoofs of the horses in the chaos stepped on him, crushing his ribs and letting out a scream.Immediately afterwards, another war horse galloped over him and trampled him to death.

……

On Guishan Mountain, Guan Yu walked into the messy Jiangdong military camp with a sword in one hand.

After Liu Bei adopted Huo Jun's suggestion, he sent Zhang Fei and three thousand soldiers to support Guan Yu with food and grass.After Guan Yu learned that Zhang Fei was coming to help, he also had a plan in mind.He deliberately let Cheng Pu know about the shortage of food in the army.He also deliberately spread the news of the arrival of the grain transport team, so that Zhang Fei would ambush him behind.

After transferring Han Dang's troops out of the camp, Guan Yu asked Huang Zhong to feign a frontal attack, and he led his elite troops up the mountain to attack Cheng Pu's camp.After all, Guan Yu had been confronting Cheng Pu for decades, not only insulting him, but also sending people to explore the rugged path up the mountain.

When Zhang Fei rushed to kill Han Dang, Guan Yu took advantage of Cheng Pu's attention being attracted by Huang Zhong in front of him, and led his troops to break through the checkpoint and invade the empty military camp.Jiangdong's army was hit in the front and back, the sergeants were defeated, and Cheng Pu was nowhere to be found.

"Report, sir!" The scout raised his hands and reported: "Cheng Pu led several men and fled over the mountains and ridges. Our soldiers did not know the road conditions and could not pursue them."

Guan Yu nodded slightly and said, "Let the tribes gather their camps and clean up the battlefield."

"promise!"

After saying that, Guan Yu looked to the west and frowned and said, "I wonder how the battle with Yide is going?"

Come whatever you want!
Before Zhang Fei entered the camp, his loud voice came into the camp and said: "Second brother, Han Dang has been killed by someone."

"Ha ha!"

Amid laughter, Zhang Fei carried his head and swayed into the camp, looking quite proud.

"Zilong shot Huang Gai, and someone killed Han Dang. I wonder if my brother can capture Cheng Pu?" Zhang Fei said with a laugh.

Guan Yu stepped forward, spread his hands, and said with a smile: "My hands were empty, and Cheng Pu ran away!"

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Did X's contribution surpass yours this time?"

Guan Yu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "This battle is due to Yide, Yu Yuan ranks second."

"Joke language!"

Hearing this, Zhang Fei shook his head and said: "This battle was commanded by my second brother, and the strategy was also what he thought about. Fei doesn't dare to take the credit!"

"Ha ha!"

The two had a rough fight, and Zhang Fei said, "My brother defeated Cheng Pu and his troops collapsed. I wonder what my brother's next plan is?"

Guan Yu pondered for a while and said: "My eldest brother ordered me to lead my troops to attack Luling after defeating Cheng Pu. However, I received a letter from Danyang, and I have a hard time thinking about it."

"What kind of letter is it?" Zhang Fei asked doubtfully.

Guan Yu took out a letter from Huai Cong and gave it to Zhang Fei, saying: "Yesterday, someone said that he was a close friend of Danyang Governor Gui Lan and came to visit him. According to his words, Danyang Governor Gui Lan and the county magistrate Dai Yuan assassinated Sun Yi, the prefect of Danyang. , and three days later he ambushed Sun He, the prefect of Lujiang, and now wants to take refuge with my elder brother."

After Gui Lan and Dai Yuan instigated Bian Hong to assassinate Sun Yi, Sun He, the prefect of Lujiang who was training troops in Danyang, learned that Sun Yi had been assassinated and rushed over to reprimand Gui Lan and Dai Yuan, saying that their protection was not good.Gui Lan and Dai Yuan felt guilty. Thinking that Sun Quan was in Yuzhang, they did not stop doing anything. They also killed Sun He and made him rebel and rebel.

Zhang Fei looked at the content above, his expression was both happy and shocked, and said, "Could it be fake?"

Guan Yu shook his head and said, "I don't know, but my eldest brother may know the details about Sheng Xian."

After a pause, Guan Yu sneered and said: "But Yu thought that the two of them were different. One of them asked for the governor of Danyang, and the other asked for the governor of Wu County. They are really greedy."

"Prefect of Wu County? Prefect of Danyang?"

Zhang Fei laughed angrily and said, "Are these two people lost their minds? We have worked so hard to capture Yuzhang, and the prefect is still Liu Qi. Danyang and Wu Commandery are given to these two people again. Are they asking us to run to Kuaiji?" !"

"This is absolutely unacceptable. Without them, we still can't take Jiangdong!" Zhang Fei said angrily: "The rats from Jiangdong are nothing to worry about. We can pacify them alone."

Guan Yu sighed and said, "Send this news to your eldest brother first. Our troops will be stationed here to rest for a few days to see what your eldest brother wants. If we go south to pacify Sun Ben's brothers, you and I will lead our army south; if we go east to meet Gui Lan and Dai Two of us, you and I will lead our troops eastward."

"That's the only way!"
