Chapter 19 Zhang Fei Outwits Wakou Pass

Sun Quan packed up his troops at Ruxukou, and suddenly reported that Cao Cao had led 40 troops to rescue Hefei.Sun Quan asked the strategists.The counselors offered advice to him, and Sun Quan acted according to the advice.He ordered Dong Xi and Xu Sheng to lead fifty large ships to ambush at Ruxukou, and ordered Chen Wu to lead the troops to patrol the river bank and wait for Cao Jun.

Zhang Zhao made a plan for Sun Quan: "Cao Cao has come all the way, we can defeat his spirit first." Gan Ning was willing to lead a hundred warriors into Cao Ying to give Cao Cao a blow.Sun Quan agreed.

Gan Ning led a hundred warriors to rush into Cao Jun's camp in the dark of night and behead Cao Bing everywhere.Cao's soldiers suffered many casualties, but Gan Ning did not injure a single one.Sun Quan greatly rewarded Gan Ning.

During the fierce battle between Ling Tong and Le Jin, Cao Cao ordered Cao Xiu to shoot Ling Tong in the dark, and Gan Ning drew an arrow and shot Le Jin in the face.Both armies suffered casualties.Ling Tong thanked Gan Ning for saving his life, and the two worshiped as life and death friends.

Cao Cao commanded the army to enter Sun Quan's barracks.Another fierce battle between the two armies.Sun Quan was besieged in the siege of Cao Jun. Zhou Tai tried his best to protect Sun Quan, defending Sun Quan from arrows and knives along the way, and finally rescued Sun Quan.Sun Quan was defeated and fled to the river.Cao Jun pursued closely.At this time, Sun Quan's son-in-law Lu Xun led an army of [-] to rescue Sun Quan.Cao Jun was defeated by Lu Xun with numerous casualties.

Sun Quan held a celebration banquet for Zhou Tai and ordered Zhou Tai to take off his battle clothes so that all the generals could look at his wounds.All the generals were impressed by Zhou Tai's heroism.Sun Quan attached great importance to him.

Cao Cao and Sun Quan negotiated peace and each withdrew their troops.

The strange man Zuo Ci stepped into Xuchang to play with Cao Cao.Cao Cao had nothing to do with him.The more I thought about it, the more irritable I became, and I became seriously ill, and my head often ached.

Taishi Cheng Xu Zhi recommended Guan Ren to be Cao Cao's divination.Guan Ren made a fortune teller for Cao Cao and told Cao Cao: A general in Eastern Wu was about to die, and soldiers from Western Shu invaded.Sure enough, in Guan Ren's calculation, Lu Su, the governor of Eastern Wu, died, and Liu Bei ordered Zhang Fei and Ma Chao to lead troops to attack the pass in Cao Jun's territory.

Cao Cao was furious, and immediately led his troops to attack Zhang Fei and Ma Chao.Guan Ren dissuaded Cao Cao from sending troops easily, and told Cao Cao the secret that there would be a fire in Xuchang in the spring of the following year.Cao Cao believed in Guan Ren and dared not send troops.He ordered Xiahoudun to lead [-] troops to guard Xuchang, and ordered Wang Bi to lead the imperial army to protect him at all times.

Geng Ji, the imperial physician Ji Ping's two sons Ji Miao, Jim Mu, and Wei Huang wanted to murder Cao Cao, but Cao Cao caught them and beheaded them all.

Cao Hong led the troops to Hanzhong and ordered Zhang He and Xia Houyuan to occupy the dangerous pass and not to underestimate the enemy.

Zhang Fei defended in Brazil.Ma Chao led the troops to Xiabian.Cao Hong killed one of Ma Chao's generals in his first battle.Zhang He advocated taking advantage of the victory to pursue and kill Ma Chao.Cao Hong advised Zhang He not to pursue and kill, because Guan Ren told Xiabian that one of the fierce generals would be killed in battle.Zhang He refused to listen to Cao Hong's dissuasion, and led his troops to attack Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei listened to Lei Tong's strategy, put Zhang He in an ambush, and defeated Zhang He.Zhang He insisted that he would not fight Zhang Fei again.

Zhang Fei thought of a clever plan, drinking for fun all day long, and didn't pay much attention to Zhang He.

After Zhang He learned that Zhang Fei was dismissive of him, he couldn't help being furious and led his troops to fight again. He fell into Zhang Fei's trick again and was defeated.

Zhang Fei captured Wakou Pass from the small road in the mountain, and Zhang He was defeated by Zhang Fei, so he had to flee to Nanguan.

Seeing Zhang He's repeated defeats in repeated battles, Cao Hong wanted to kill Zhang He, and all the generals interceded for Zhang He.Cao Hong ordered Zhang He to take [-] soldiers and horses to attack Jiayin Pass.Zhang He hurriedly led his troops to attack Jiayin pass.

Liu Bei was very anxious when he learned that Zhang He had defeated Meng Da and Huo Jun, the gate guards of Jiayin.The veteran Huang Zhong led the troops to fight Zhang He.

When Huang Zhong and Yan Yan came to Jiayin Pass, Meng Da and Huo Jun thought that they were old and weak, and they were not Zhang He's opponents at all.

Huang Zhong and Zhang He fought, Yan Yan came from behind, Zhang He's army was in chaos, Zhang He was defeated and fled.Cao Hong quickly sent Xia Houshang and Han Hao to rescue Zhang He.

Huang Zhong pretended to be defeated by Xia Houshang and Han Hao.Zhang He told the two of them not to underestimate the enemy.Xia Houshang and Han Hao laughed at Zhang He instead.Huang Zhong used the strategy of arrogant soldiers, but Han Hao and the two didn't know what the strategy was, and they were defeated by Huang Zhong. They had no choice but to go to Tiandang Mountain to join Xia Houde.

Xiahoude also underestimated the enemy and was defeated by Huang Zhong. Yan Yan rushed to kill Xiahoude with a single knife.Huang Zhong killed Han Hao.Zhang He and Xia Houshang had no choice but to go to Xiahou Yuan who was stationed on Dingjun Mountain.

Huang Zhong and Yan Yan garrisoned Tiandang Mountain and sent people to defeat Liu Bei.

Liu Bei followed Fa Zheng's strategy and sent [-] troops to attack Hanzhong.
