Ji Han Da Sima

Chapter 291 Wing De shows his power (5k)

Zhang Fei suffered from seasickness, so when he was in Jiangdong and Jingchu, he often led his troops to fight in the mountains.The more I fought in the mountains, the more I fought in various mountainous areas in the south. Instead, I gained a unique understanding of mountain warfare.

Zhang Fei's unique secret technique is nothing else, which is to find a small path, go through the forest, go around behind the enemy, look for flaws, and deliver a fatal blow.

Although this method of using troops seems simple, it has difficulties.For example, Huo Qubing and Li Guang both attacked the Huns from the north at the same time. Why did Li Guang always get lost while Huo Qubing brought his own GPS?It seems that Huo Qubing is different from Li Guangzhong in terms of details and military management. It can even be said that this is his talent and there is nothing he can do about it.

Zhang Fei, who has been traveling in the north for many years, learned Huo Jun's Mandarin Duck Formation through many years of research, so he also made his way in the mountains and forests.Although he dare not call himself "Shandi Huo Qubing", Zhang Fei may be able to deal with Kansai generals like Han Sui.

Zhang Fei originally had about 1 soldiers and horses in his account, about 3000 soldiers from Wu and Chu, and [-] soldiers from Yizhou.Since entering Hanzhong, many Hanzhong soldiers and horses have been recruited, and the confrontation on the Han River resulted in [-] casualties.

Today, Zhang Fei left more than 2 people to guard the Hannan camp. Lu Xun, Fukuang, Pang Tong and others were in charge to confuse Ma Chao in northern Han Dynasty.He himself and Wu Lan led eight thousand elites across the mountains and ridges, taking the mountain road from Yangpingguan to Jinniu Road.

The three Shu roads of Micang, Jinniu and Qishan are not completely independent, but are connected to each other. From Micang, you can take a small path to Jinniu, and Jinniu can also go to Qishan road.

The path Yan Pu mentioned is the path from Rice Cang to Jinniu, which is called the Baishui path.In history, when Lu You was traveling this way, he wrote a poem titled "Inscribed on Papaya Pu".

Zhang Fei followed the path and took Yan Pu as his companion and the Hannan mountain people as his guide. Most of the sergeants accompanying him were soldiers who were good at running in the mountains.

Under the leadership of the mountain people, Zhang Fei's troops walked along the rugged mountain road, from Micang Road to Jinniu Road, running for four or five days, and then crossed from the upper reaches of Han River to behind Han Sui.

The summer wind is howling, and the trees all over the mountains and plains are rustling like a tidal wave.Among the deep and winding mountain roads, eight thousand soldiers of the South were meandering, their flags were down, and their drums and trumpets were silent.

"The general has an order to stop the advance!"

The cavalrymen with superb riding skills galloped under the banner and passed on Zhang Fei's military orders.

"rest!"

Under the orders of the generals and colonels of various ministries, eight thousand infantry knights dispersed to rest in the mountains and forests.

At this time, on the mountainside in front of the army, Zhang Fei, Wu Lan, and Yan Pu were hiding under the cover of trees, peeping at the battle outside Yangping Pass.

His thick fingers pushed aside the tree trunk, revealing a dark face, and his copper-bell-sized eyes revealed a hint of cunning.

"General, Han Sui's troops are besieging Yangping Pass there." Yan Pu pointed to the battle at the foot of the mountain and said.

Zhang Fei looked for the reputation and saw that on the narrow mountain road, the soldiers and horses under Han Sui's tent were distributed along the mountain road, gathering like ants, resting by the Han River or on the hillside.The flag was planted on the ground, letting the valley wind blow, and many of the surrounding soldiers were relaxed.

At the front of the queue, two to three thousand Longxi elites climbed the mountains, trying to climb over the mountains on the north side and bypass Yangping Pass.However, Yang Ren stationed his troops on the hills and fought bravely with the Longxi soldiers by virtue of the steep terrain and the powerful bows and crossbows.

Seeing Han Sui's troops and horses arranged like this, Wu Lan said excitedly: "General, the old thief's troops and horses are in front, and the soldiers in the middle and rear are unprepared. Our army will attack Han Sui directly from the mountain, and we will definitely defeat Han Sui."

Zhang Fei, who was always impatient, calmed down and said: "Han Sui has won the hearts of the Longyou Qiang and Di. If he cannot defeat the enemy with one move today, he will only be able to repel him. Han Sui can also recruit troops and horses to attack, and Let’s see if we can find Han Sui and behead him.”

Yan Pu glanced at Zhang Fei and secretly sighed that Zhang Fei, who was known for his lack of resourcefulness under Liu Bei, was so outstanding. How about Huo Jun, who presided over the Battle of Chrysostom and set Jianghan on fire?
"General!"

The scouts came running from the mountains and said, "We have found Han Sui's location!"

"where?"

Zhang Fei grabbed the sergeant who almost fell down and asked in a calm voice: "Where is Han Sui? How are the armies distributed?"

The scout panted, pointed through the branches, and said: "Han Sui is in the thatched pavilion two or three miles away from Yangping Pass. He is protected by Lianglong warriors on the left and right, and has the banner of Han. The front army has 3000 people, and the middle The army has about 5000 men, and the rear army has about 4000 men..."

Han Sui left Yan Xing to guard Ju County, and led [-] soldiers to attack Yangping Pass.However, Han Sui did not send out his entire army. Instead, he left several thousand men in the camp. They were the generals who had rotated during the battles in the previous days. Today, Han Sui led more than [-] men to attack Yangping Pass.

Zhang Fei squinted to identify Han Sui's flag, and under the guidance of his scouts, he finally discovered Han Sui's traces.The grass pavilion was surrounded by Lianglong warriors. There was a huge banner outside the pavilion, and there were golden drum musicians beating drums around it.

After a rough estimate, Zhang Fei couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw that there was not much difference from what the scouts had reported.

Turning to look to the left and right, Zhang Fei said: "Han Sui's troops are near mountains to the north and Han River to the south. Their soldiers and horses are trapped in dangerous areas. We can attack now!"

"Wu Lan, when the drums sound, lead your troops to intercept and kill the army behind the valley. Fei will lead his troops into the central army and capture Han Sui directly."

"General, please send an envoy to inform Yangping Pass. When the battle comes, let Yang Ren go out to cover up and kill Han Sui's troops." Wu Lan suggested.

"No need!"

Zhang Fei observed the movements at the foot of the mountain and said, "When our army sets off, Boyan has already ordered people to make arrangements."

With that said, Zhang Fei looked at Yan Pu and said thoughtfully: "The sword has no eyes on the battlefield, so I will leave behind a hundred elite men and sir. The drums were beating loudly, and sir and the sergeants lit a bonfire on the mountain to scare Han Sui's troops."

"Thank you, General!" Yan Pu thanked him.

As time goes by, the sun gradually sets in the west, and the clouds on the horizon are dyed red.

In the grass pavilion, Han Sui looked at the anxious battle ahead, his face was angry, and he scolded: "We have besieged Yangping Pass for more than twenty days, and there have been many casualties among the soldiers. Is it possible that a woman has softened your feet?"

Tian Le said aggrievedly: "General, Yangping Pass is a natural danger, and our army has repeatedly attacked without success. Ma Chao said that he helped the battle in the pass, but he has not been seen yet. I am afraid that Ma Chao borrowed Zhang Fei's hand to use it to consume our army's strength."

Han Sui sneered and said: "How dare Ma Chao have such an intention? Now he is eager for our army to enter Hanzhong as soon as possible."

Cheng Gongying advised: "General, I am afraid that Ma Chao will be held back by Zhang Fei and will be unable to help our army. If we want to break the Yangping Pass now, it will not be achieved in a day. We should consider the long term!"

Han Sui walked down the steps and said in a deep voice: "Today our troops are tired and we must withdraw. We will fight tomorrow. If anyone dares to be timid, I will kill him."

"No!" Everyone clapped their hands in response.

Han Sui had been raising troops for more than [-] years and had never seen any big storms or waves. He sat back and watched the defeat of Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun, Guo Si and others in Longyou. How could he not know that Yangping Pass was difficult to break?Now he also wants to withdraw his troops, but he can't say it in person, so he has to say it through his own mouth.

Just when Han Suiming and Jin were withdrawing their troops, suddenly there was violent drumming in the mountains, and then thick smoke was lit on the mountains.

"what sound?"

Although Han Sui was old, his ears were still good and he asked about the situation.

Cheng Gongying ran out of the thatched pavilion, looked for the sound, and said in horror: "General, there is a fire behind the mountain."

"Why is there a fire?"

"Could it be enemy troops?"

Looking at the birds flying in the mountains and the flags flying in the woods.Everyone on the left and right whispered to each other and said in panic.

"But Zhang Fei is coming with troops?"

"impossible!"

Han Sui walked out of the pavilion and decisively objected: "Zhang Fei is in Yangping Pass, unless he can get wings and fly over!"

The next moment, Zhang Fei's magical laughter came from the rugged mountains.

"Hahaha~"

"Han Sui, old thief, does he know Zhang Yide from Yan?"

"Hurry up and get off your horse and die!"

Han Sui, who was brutally slapped in the face, was not angry, but looked horrified and said in a low voice: "Why is Zhang Fei here?"

"go!"

"General, hurry up!"

Han Sui led the horses on the left and right, called to the sergeants on the left and right, turned over and tried to escape.

At this time, eight thousand elite soldiers rushed down from the mountains. Although Han Sui had many soldiers and horses, his troops were unprepared. Seeing that they were ambushed, they could only rush to fight.Or like those Qiang soldiers from the Qiang Di tribe, who had few military disciplines and saw that the situation was unfavorable, they wanted to flee, and the sergeants on the mountain roads were in panic.

This was Zhang Fei's cleverness. He divided his troops into two groups to attack Han Sui's middle and rear armies, using the surprise attack to cause panic, instead of blocking the retreat of Han Sui's troops and forcing the Kansai troops to fight.

Han Sui ignored the retreating front army, got on his horse, and led hundreds of his followers to withdraw along the Qishan Road.

How could Zhang Fei, as Han Sui intended, hold a long spear and lead two or three hundred horsemen to gallop along the mountain road?

"Han Sui, old thief, don't leave!"

Because there were soldiers and horses fighting out of the mountains, Han Sui led his cavalry to flee along the Hanshui River. Looking back, he saw Zhang Fei holding a spear and charging out from the direction of Caoting. He led his cavalry to pursue him fiercely. Several hundred soldiers were separated and he was heading towards Shout to yourself.

Han Sui wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "There are soldiers and horses blocking Zhang Fei, so leave immediately."

However, before Han Sui could relax, the next scene made Han Sui panic again.

The cavalry led by Zhang Fei galloped rapidly and with great momentum, running like thunder.While Han Sui was speaking, Zhang Fei took the lead, holding a spear in his hand, and deflected the stabbing spear. With the impact of the horse, the sharp spear pointed directly at the chest of the Liangzhou soldier, and warm blood spurted out.

The taste of blood stimulated Zhang Fei's sense of smell, making him even more excited. He drew his sword with his backhand and continued to fight left and right. No one was defeated wherever he went.

"Zhang Fei, die!" In Han Sui's eyes, his general Tian Le did not escape with him, but turned around and killed him. With an angry roar, he rode his horse and raised his gun to fight Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei was not angry but happy. He raised his tree and hit Tian Le angrily.

This made Tian Le, who was famous for his bravery, overwhelmed and numb, unable to keep up with Zhang Fei's subsequent moves.Tian Le watched helplessly as Zhang Fei changed his attack from smashing to picking, and then stabbed his chest.

"what!"

During the change of moves, the tip of Zhang Fei's spear penetrated Tian Le's armor, and the armor cracked and penetrated into the chest.

Tian Le screamed and fell off his horse. He looked at the black-armored general who was flying away. He moved his eyes and blood spilled from his lips. Then he turned his head weakly and died on the battlefield.

In the blink of an eye, the cavalry led by Zhang Fei entered the formation, waving swords and guns, blood flying everywhere, and trampled by their horses. The extremely brave Liangzhou soldiers under Han Sui's tent were penetrated by Zhang Fei.

The troops reached Han Sui!

"Come on!"

When Han Sui saw Zhang Fei's bravery, he was frightened to death. He held the reins, pulled his horse and ran away.

"Han Sui, old thief, will die if you don't get off your horse!"

Zhang Fei stared at the white turban on Han Sui's head and chased after him. He shouted, took a bow in his hand, and shot several arrows to knock down the soldiers.

When Han Sui saw Zhang Fei like this, he was filled with fear and sped up his horse even more.

"General, enemy sergeant!" the attendant pointed forward and said.

Han Sui withdrew from the central army to the rear army, but saw Wu Lan's troops who had been ordered to enter the army formation. He glanced at Zhang Fei behind him, his face full of fear.

"Let's go to the shallows of Han River!"

In a state of panic, Han Sui saw a large number of sergeants flowing past the Han River. He hurriedly pointed his riding whip at the ford of the Han River and signaled the left and right to flee around there.

When Zhang Fei saw Han Sui running away, he was very anxious and cursed angrily.But seeing Han Sui being surrounded by Sergeant Wu Lan and escaping from the shoals of the Han River, he couldn't help but laugh with joy.

"Ha ha!"

Zhang Fei pointed his whip at Han Sui, laughed devilishly, and said, "Han Sui is seeking his own death. If he runs away into the water, he will be captured by me."

With that said, Zhang Fei whipped his horse and rode along the Han River, gradually catching up with Han Sui who was traveling against the river.

When Han Sui saw Zhang Fei catching up with him by the river, he was so angry that he whipped his horse several times, trying to make it speed up.

The war horses were whipped and raised their hooves in the shallow water.Seeing the horse galloping faster, Han Sui couldn't help but be overjoyed and whipped him a few more times.

However, there were a lot of sand and stones under the shallow water. The horses galloped and their hooves suddenly sank into the pebbles.With a splash, the horse's hoof was broken, and the man and the horse rolled down into the Han River.

Han Sui was thrown into the Han River and felt dizzy. He drank some water and choked.The old Han Sui was unable to climb up from the Han River as vigorously as the young man, and he was burdened with a huge body of war horses.

Han Sui was wet. He raised his head with all his strength, put his mouth and nose out of the water, and said with difficulty: "I am willing to surrender to Duke Xuande!"

"Snapped!"

The war horse struggled to get up, but fell down again due to damaged hoofs.The heavy body overwhelmed Han Sui again.

Immediately afterwards, the fleeing servants behind him were busy escaping. In addition, the Han River was already turbid due to the trampling of men and horses, and they could not care so much, so they drove the horses to trample over Han Sui.

The horse trampled Han Sui's sternum, and his sternum was broken. The head he finally raised fell down, and he died.

Unexpectedly, Han Sui, the powerful man who had dominated the northwest for more than [-] years, was actually killed by the Han River and horse hoofs, which is lamentable.

"Where is the old thief Han Sui?"

When Zhang Fei saw that Han Sui was not among the rebels on the riverbank, he cursed angrily.

"General, over there!"

The rider pointed his finger towards the Han River, and saw white hair floating on the water. A human figure was vaguely visible, and beside him was a war horse whose hoof was damaged and was unable to get up.

Zhang Fei rode his horse, wading through the river with its hooves, to the place where Han Sui died.

Sitting on horseback, Zhang Fei could see Han Sui's old face, gray beard and hair floating on the water, and his wide eyes seemed to express his unwillingness through the water of Han River.

"You can drown in this way!"

Zhang Fei was surprised and disdainful at first, then spat and said with a sneer: "Old thief died in the Han River instead of me. It's an advantage for you."

With that said, Zhang Fei directed the men around him and said, "Fan Jiang, cut off Han Sui's head, wrap it in lime, and send it to the lord."

"No!" Fan Jiang responded with his hands raised.

After Han Sui died, the war was coming to an end.

When Zhang Fei was looking for an opportunity to fight out, Yang Ren saw that the situation outside the pass was good, so he also led his troops to fight out.The three armies of Wu Lan, Zhang Fei and Yang Ren surrounded and killed Han Sui, and Liangzhou troops surrendered without fleeing.

The three armies killed more than 600 people. Most of the Han River was dyed red, and many corpses floated downstream from Yangping Pass.Generals Han Sui and Tian Le were beheaded, about [-] men surrendered, and more than a thousand war horses were captured.

As the sky darkened, the fighting gradually subsided.

The sergeants were cleaning the battlefield, picking up armor and weapons on the ground, and moving the captured materials to Yangping Pass.

In the thatched cottage, Zhang Fei threw the horse to his subordinates, held his belt with his hand, and said with a smile: "Shu Tan, today's battle was a blast!"

Yan Pu, who was watching the battle, came down from the mountain, raised his hands and said, "Congratulations to the general on your meritorious service!"

Wu Lan held the hilt of his sword and said wisely: "After this battle, the general will be able to be worshiped as the General of the Four Conquests."

"hey-hey!"

Zhang Fei was touched by Wu Lan's words to a sensitive point, and the corners of his mouth and brows revealed his joy.

After the Battle of Jinkou, Huo Jun was promoted to General of the Northern Expedition; Guan Yu was promoted to General of the Expedition to the West by surrendering Jiaozhou and pacifying Wu Ju when Liu Bei succeeded Wu Chu.

Now he is one step behind his second brother. Isn't he going all the way to Hanzhong to destroy Bashu just to make achievements?
Now, with his achievements in killing Han Sui and subduing Zhang Lu, he will definitely be promoted to General of the Four Expeditions.

Zhang Fei touched his beard, laughed a few times, and said: "Ma Chao has not retreated, and Hanzhong is not at peace. How can he be promoted to General of the Four Expeditions?"

"The general is brave and worthy of being called the enemy of ten thousand people!" Yan Pu praised.

Zhang Fei waved his hand and said: "My second brother, General Yun Chang, is even more brave than me. Moreover, my brother also has Zhao Zilong and Gan Xingba, two men with ten thousand enemies. Zilong is good at riding and fighting, and his skills are unparalleled and powerful. He conquered the east of the Yangtze River; he became a hegemon and was good at water warfare. He crossed the rivers and was famous among Wu and Chu. There were also Huang Zhong, Chen Dao, Wei Yan, Liu Zan and other brave generals in the army, all of whom were brave enough to be worthy of ten thousand men."

When Yan Pu saw that there were so many powerful generals under Liu Bei's tent, he took a deep breath and asked, "What about Huo Zhongmiao, who doesn't know how to defeat Cao Cao with his golden mouth?"

"Ha ha!"

Zhang Fei held his belt and smiled, sighing and saying: "Zhong Miao is not good at bravery, but actually good at military strategy. His military strategy is ten times that of Fei!"

Yan Pu was already in awe of Liu Bei who was in charge of Wu Chu.

"Han Sui is dead, and the enemy bandits in Longyou must be leaderless. Now only Ma Chao from the northern Han Dynasty is left, so that's not a big concern!" Wu Lan said.

"Ok!"

Zhang Fei gathered his thoughts, walked up and asked: "Han Sui was defeated and died, and only Ma Chao was the only one. I wonder if Gong Miao can teach me a plan?"

Yan Pu pondered for a long time and said: "In the past, Han Sui and Ma Teng attacked each other, and Han Sui killed Ma Teng's wife and children. At that time, Ma Chao's mother died under Han Sui's sword. There had been a long gap between Ma and Han, and Ma Chao also The intention is to annex Han Sui's troops and horses. If Ma Chao learns that Han Sui is dead, General, what will Ma Chao think about?"

Zhang Fei stopped and said thoughtfully: "In this case, what if we let the soldiers from Liangzhou go to Ma Chao's camp?"

"The general is wise!" Yan Pu replied.

"good!"

"Gather your troops and horses, follow me into Yangping Pass, and wait for Fei to meet with Ma Chao for a while." Zhang Fei said.

After saying that, Zhang Fei was very thirsty and ordered: "Please prepare a jar of wine!"

"The general said not to drink alcohol..." Wu Lan said.

Zhang Fei showed displeasure and interrupted: "We have defeated a powerful enemy today. If we can't drink to celebrate, wouldn't it be a disappointment?"
