After hearing the movement, the enemy soldiers lying near the neighbors immediately reported the incident to Ling Bao, so they were ready. Only a cannon sound was heard, the three armies boarded their horses and came out from the side. Seeing this, Wei Yan
, hurried up to fight, and fought with Ling Bao. The two fought for more than thirty rounds. The Sichuan soldiers were increasing and they attacked the Han army in two groups. The Han army had gotten up very early and was in poor spirits, so they walked at night.
After a long journey, people and horses were in no state and could not resist at all, so they could only retreat.
Wei Yan felt that the troops behind him had already been in chaos, so he could only let Leng Bao go first, turn the horse's head and walk back.
The Sichuan soldiers followed closely and the Han army was defeated and retreated less than five miles. A cannon sounded from the mountain behind him. Deng Xian led another army to kill him and shouted: "Wei Yan got off the horse and died.
!”
Wei Yan rode all the way along. Due to the bumpy mountain road, the horse lost the horse's hooves in front, knelt on the ground with his front legs, and threw Wei Yan out. Deng Xian quickly arrived and took a gun and came to assassinate Wei Yan.
Wei Yan turned around and had no time to hide. Just when he was in despair, he suddenly heard the sound of a bowstring. Then Deng Xian's weapon fell and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. After Ling Bao saw it, he hurried over to rescue him.
, walked out of the hillside, shouting, "The veteran Huang Zhong is here!" Then he took the cold bud straight.
Leng Bao felt that he was no match, so he walked back. Huang Zhong led his troops to cover up the killing, and the Sichuan soldiers were in chaos.
Huang Zhong's sudden appearance saved Wei Yan, shot Deng Xian with a bow and arrow, and then covered him and killed him in front of the camp. Leng Bao and Huang Zhong fought for ten more rounds, and all the horses behind followed him. Leng Bao could only turn the left one.
The village was abandoned and took the remaining troops to the village on the right, only to see that all the flags in the village had been replaced.
Leng Bao was very surprised. When he stopped to watch, he only saw a general inside, with a golden armor and brocade robe. It was Liu Bei himself, Liu Feng on the left and Guan Ping on the right. Liu Bei shouted: "I have occupied the camp, you are ready to go.
where?"
Yu Yi and Pang Tong both thought that the two would still have some differences, so Liu Bei brought his troops to support him. After the war started, Liu Bei took the opportunity to capture Deng Xian's camp. Leng Bao had no way out before and after.
, he could only find a remote path in the mountains and prepare to escape back to Luocheng.
Less than ten miles away, a team of ambushers suddenly came out and captured Leng Bao alive. Leng Bao felt strange. How many people had Liu Bei come to him? When he saw Wei Yanhou, he understood.
Because of greed, Wei Yan was intercepted and killed by Sichuan soldiers and was defeated. There was no way to explain. He asked the captured Sichuan soldiers. After learning about this path, he came to ambush himself, and then captured Leng Bao alive.
.
Leng Bao tied up and took his troops to Liu Bei's camp. Liu Bei put out the flag of exemption from death. As long as the Sichuan soldiers were willing to surrender, they immediately put down their weapons and would not continue to kill them. If they were injured, they would pay their lives.
, and personally ordered: "You Sichuan soldiers have parents and wives, and they are all ordinary people. If you are willing to surrender, you will join us. If you don't want to, I will not force you to go back immediately." So many Sichuan soldiers surrendered.
After Huang Zhong calmed down the camp, he went directly to meet Liu Bei, indicating that Wei Yan had violated the military order and could be beheaded directly.
Liu Bei recruited Wei Yan, while Wei Yan took Leng Bao to tell the matter and repent.
It was when he was employed that Liu Bei said, "Wei Yan must be guilty, but he captured the enemy's general and could make up for his merits." Then he asked Wei Yan to thank Huang Zhong for his life-saving grace, and he could not be disunited later.
Wei Yan knelt down and confessed his guilt, thanked Huang Zhong again, and Huang Zhong felt angry.
Liu Bei rewarded Huang Zhong, sent someone to take Leng Bao into the camp, personally untied the rope on the other party, and gave some wine, asking, "Are you willing to surrender to me?"
Reply: "Since you let me go, how can I not surrender? Liu Xi and Zhang Ren are all very good friends. If you can let me go, I will persuade the two of them to surrender and sacrifice Luocheng.
for you!"
Liu Bei was very happy and rewarded some clothes and horses on the spot, asking him to return to Luocheng immediately.
Wei Yan advised: "This person cannot be let go. If he is asked to leave, he will definitely not come back!"
Liu Bei said: "If I treat others with kindness and righteousness, others will definitely let me down!"
After Ling Bao returned to Luocheng, he went to meet Liu Xi and Zhang Ren. He did not explain the situation in truth, but simply said: "I killed more than a dozen people and then snatched some horses back."
Liu Xun knew that Deng Xian had been killed and the defense line in front had been defeated, so he quickly sent someone to Chengdu for help.
Liu Zhang was very surprised when he heard that Deng Xian had been beheaded and quickly summoned everyone to discuss.
The eldest son Liu Xun said, "Don't panic, my father, I am willing to take my troops to guard Luocheng in person."
Liu Zhang said: "Since my son is willing to go, who can I send to assist him?"
At this time, one person stood up and said, "I'm willing to go!"
Everyone saw that the person who came out was his uncle Wu Yi. Liu Zhang nodded and said, "Of course it is best for uncle to go. Who can be the deputy general?"
Wu Yi recommended Wu Lan and Lei Tong as deputy generals on the spot, and ordered 20,000 troops to Luocheng.
Liu Xun and Zhang Ren came out to greet him in person and explained the situation of the previous war.
Wu Yi said: "Now that the enemy's troops are at the city, it is difficult to resist the enemy. What are the best ways do you have?"
Leng Bao said: "This place is very close to the Fu River. The river water is very fast. The camp in front has occupied the foot of the mountain. The terrain is the lowest. I can bring five thousand soldiers and horses, bring some shovels and hoes to destroy the embankment of the Fu River.
, The water flows down from a high place, which can drown all Liu Bei's soldiers and horses."
Wu Yi adopted this strategy and sent Leng Bao to the water to break the water, Wu Lan and Lei Tong went to the response, and worked hard to cooperate with Leng Bao.
Liu Bei sent Huang Zhong and Wei Yan to guard a camp each, and returned to Fucheng first, and invited Yu Yi and Pang Tong to discuss.
At this time, a detailed report was made: "Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu sent people to make friends with Zhang Lu from Dongchuan and was preparing to attack Jiameng Pass."
After hearing this, Liu Bei was very surprised and said, "If Jiameng Pass is in danger, then our retreat will be cut off, and there are Sichuan soldiers in front of us to resist. So if we can't advance or retreat, what should we do?"
Yu Yi said: "Now that Mrs. Sun has returned to Jiangdong, Sun Quan has no scruples and has been harassing our rear. He hopes that he can send me with his troops to directly enter Jiangdong and capture all of its 81 counties! To eliminate future troubles.
”
Liu Bei said: "Fourth brother, don't talk nonsense. Now we should keep our guard and let us do it."
Pang Tong said to Meng Da on the side: "You are a local from Xichuan and you also know the geography. How about you guard Jiameng Pass?"
Meng Da said: "I can protect one person and I will go to guard the level together, and it will definitely be foolproof."
