Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 816
Zhuge Liang marched smoothly, and Wu Ban and Gao Xiang worked hard in the rear to mobilize civilians to continuously deliver food and grass to the front.

On the 22nd, while the two were chatting, they reported a Wei army flying a white flag from Shangyong along the Hanshui River to Xixiang. There were about [-] people. The leaders were Deng Xian and Li Fu, who said they were here to surrender.

Wu Ban and Gao Xiang were puzzled, and immediately mobilized 1 horses and rushed to Xixiang.

"Deng Xiante, the old general from the middle of Shu, came to join him." Deng Xian clasped his fists on the horse and saluted.

They are all old acquaintances.Wu Ban patted his horse forward: "Deng Xian, why did you come to surrender?"

Deng Xian let out a long sigh: "I am originally from Shu, so I have no choice but to surrender to Wei, and I always don't want to return to Shu..."

"Put down your sweet words!" How could Wu Ban believe it.

"General Wu, this is what I say from the bottom of my heart. The last time I visited General Li Yan, my uncle refused to submit to Cao Pi and was forced to send troops, so I informed General Li Yan in advance so that he could take precautions. They marched slowly again to buy time for Prime Minister Zhuge to return to the army, doesn't General Wu know?"

Mentioning that unlucky Li Yan, Wu Ban was also speechless.Thinking about it now, it seems that this was the case at the time, but it was a pity that Li Yan, also known as Li Ping, had no chance to speak. "Since that's the case, why didn't you drop earlier?"

"The general said it lightly. Cao Zhen was suspicious of his uncle, so he sent Cheng Wuzhi Shangyong to strictly monitor him, and Shen Dan and Shenyi were in the way. Uncle Li Yan was transferred back to Chengdu by the prime minister for some reason. There was no good opportunity inside and no outside. Reinforcement, how to act?"

Wu Ban looked back at Gao Xiang, and the two thought that what Deng Xian said was not unreasonable, and it was difficult to clarify that Li Yan was deposed. "Then how do you come down now?"

"Uncle Meng Da then followed Cao Pi on the southern expedition, and I was more afraid to act rashly because I was worried about my uncle's safety." Deng Xian squeezed out two tears. "Who would have thought that there would be no news of my uncle once he left? The Shen brothers squeezed me out a lot, saying that my uncle died with more than enough guilt, which is really chilling. Fortunately, the prime minister Cao Zhen ordered Shangyong to send troops to reinforce this expedition. The brothers were in disarray, and my uncle's confidant General Li Fu and I planned to send troops to present Yong and the prime minister. The two of us looked for an opportunity to assassinate the two thieves, but unexpectedly Cheng Wu and his subordinate Zhang Te led the attack. The two of us were defeated. , so I came here to defect. Zhang Te’s pursuers are not far away, so please take him in.”

It sounded reasonable, but Wu Ban didn't dare to believe it. "You said you assassinated Shen Dan and Shen Yi, but there are two heads?"

Li Fu held a human head in each of his left and right hands and patted the horse forward: "The last general, Li Fu, present the head of Shen Dan and Shen Yi!"

A soldier took it and presented it to Wu Ban. Someone in the army knew the two men. After careful identification, Wu Ban said: "It is indeed the heads of the two men."

Wu Ban was overjoyed.Deng Xian was originally from Shu, and he was a general under Liu Zhang with Wu Ban and Gao Xiang. He was a fellow countryman and an old friend. It was reasonable for Deng Xian to want to return to Shu. Meng Da's whereabouts were unknown, and his life and death were unknown. Deng Xian was excluded and wanted to surrender, which was reasonable; The key is that Shen Dan and Shen Yi are generals who have been in charge of Shangyong for many years, and their heads are placed here, so it is not only reasonable.

Gao Xiang said in a low voice: "It won't be too late to make a decision after sending out scouts."

Less than half an hour after Tanma came back, Wei Jun Zhang Te was leading ten thousand people to kill him. When he saw the Shu army twenty miles away, he turned back to Shangyong.

Wu Ban and Gao Xiang no longer have any doubts. "Nephew lost his way and found his way back. Although you didn't offer Shangyong, having the heads of these two is considered a great achievement. Nephew will follow me back to Nanzheng, and I will report to the Prime Minister for you."

Deng Xian waved his hand back: "These are all from my uncle Meng Da's old department, most of them are from Shu, and I look forward to returning to my hometown for a long time."

Wu Ban nodded, just turned his horse's head, and a general from the Wei army rushed straight to Wu Ban with an iron spear in his hand. At the same time, Li Fu took out a short knife from his arms and rushed towards Gao Xiang.

The sudden change caught Wu Ban off guard, so the horse was quicker and the gun was faster, and Wu Ban was picked under the horse with one shot, and with a wave of the iron spear, "I am Jiang Wei and Jiang Boyue, you are not surrendering yet! "Three thousand Wei troops charged forward.Li Fu hugged Gao Xiang and rolled off his horse, with a dagger across Gao Xiang's neck.

Two main generals, one dead and one captured, the Shu army did not flinch and rushed forward to rescue them. The two armies fought in a melee. Although the Wei army was small, there were three generals who commanded it and did not lose the wind. Zhang Te led the army to kill again. The Shu army was defeated. Wei pursued closely and captured the Southern Expedition in one go, and nearly ten thousand Shu troops were captured.

This is the strategy discussed by Jiang Wei and Cheng Wu. If you want to take Hanzhong quickly, you must have a clever plan.Cheng Wu was the first to think of false surrender. With Meng Da's relationship, Deng Xian had a cover for his identity when he surrendered, but this was far from winning the trust of Wu Ban. Although Wu Ban was not a general, he was cautious and would not be easily deceived. , So Jiang Wei came up with the idea of ​​using Ershen's head as a meeting gift. Ershen had a great reputation in Shangyong, and he would definitely believe it when he saw their heads.Cheng Wu had been dissatisfied with Er Shen's control of the military power for a long time, and had to be patient everywhere. With Jiang Wei taking responsibility and Cao Pi's Tianzi Sword, Cheng Wu immediately agreed.

Deng Xian said even better, if there is still hope for forgiveness for offending Zhuge Liang by killing Kuai Qi, then Li Yan's dismissal made Deng Xian completely cut off this idea, and surrendering to the Shu army would never end well.He didn't intervene and was squeezed and suppressed by Ershen, and he thought Jiang Wei's plan was feasible, so the three hit it off.

Of course, this has a lot to do with the character of the three of them. Jiang Wei was born bold, so he called it bold. However, the Battle of Jieting was not enough to make him famous. Jiang Wei was eager to win greater achievements, and Cao Pi's pressure , Forcing Jiang Wei to fight against the water!Cheng Wu's family style is like this, and his father Cheng Yu is a mean, vicious, and vicious person. Under the influence of his ears and eyes, Cheng Wu has more or less inherited Cheng Yu's style, and he will use any means to achieve his goals. No hesitation!Deng Xian swayed around with his uncle, only seeking his own interests and not caring about other people's lives!

The two generals Li Fu and Zhang Te firmly believe that wealth and wealth are found in danger. If they win Hanzhong, they will make great achievements, so why not agree?

Er Shen committed suicide, so he died.Deng Xian and Li Fu took their heads to feign surrender, Jiang Wei led the elite to lurk among the fake rebels, just waiting to launch a fatal blow; Zhang Te led 1 horses to pretend to be chasing troops, while Cheng Wu led the brigade The men and horses then arrived.

Jiang Wei also sent letters to Cao Zhen and Xiahoushang, telling him of his plan. He conspired with Cao Zhen to trap Zhuge Liang in Weinan, and asked Xiahoushang to send someone to take over Shangyong.

The plan went well, but Jiang Wei didn't expect the Shu army to fight hard, which resulted in the loss of more than a thousand men and a delay of nearly an hour.He didn't expect to win Wu Ban and Gao Xiang at the same time, and the door of Hanzhong was opened.

Li Fu offered Gao Xiang, Gao Xiang stood up without kneeling, and scolded Deng Xian.General Jiang Weiling temporarily took Gao Xiang into custody and left it to Cheng Wu to deal with, and ordered five thousand Wei troops to replace them with Shu army armor, engulfing hundreds of Shu troops who were willing to surrender, and personally led the army straight to Yangping Pass.
