Chapter 18 7. No peace if the snow is not swept in front of the door

Do your own things, do your own work and have enough food and clothing.Only by driving the enemy to a dead end can you find a way to live.Zhu Quanzhong demonstrated extraordinary perseverance and hardship.No way, forced out. As we have said before, Qin Zongquan was just a general of Xuzhou. It happened that Huang Chao was crossing the Huai River to the west, and Xuzhou's army was in chaos. Qin Zongquan took the opportunity to launch a mutiny and occupy Caizhou.Later, on Huang Chao's return to the east, Qin Zongquan was defeated by Meng Kai, the number two figure in Huang Chao's army, and surrendered.Since then, Qin Zongquan, as Huang Chao's minion, has attacked cities, robbed and killed Xu and Cai.At that time Qin Zongquan was still a small character, Zhu Quanzhong, Li Keyong, Shi Pu, Zhao Ji and others didn't take him seriously, and all their attention was on Huang Chao and Shang Rang.

Huang Chao failed to commit suicide after being encircled and suppressed. The Tang Dynasty officials and troops dispersed and returned to their respective towns.In the interval of this war, not only did Qin Zongquan not be destroyed with Huang Chao's rebel army, but he became a school of his own and grew stronger.Qin Zongquan seems to exist exclusively for fighting and killing, and his group seems to be a monster that only devours and loots but has no brains. In 885 A.D., Qin Zongquan actually became the emperor, conferring civil and military officials arbitrarily, making a big show, and his arrogance scorched the Central Plains for a while.Qin Zongquan took Caizhou as his base, sent Chen Yan to invade Huainan, Qin Xian to invade Jiangnan, Qin Gao to capture Hubei and eastern Sichuan, Sun Ru to capture Luoyang and southern Shaanxi, Zhang Xun to capture Ruzhou and Zhengzhou, and Lu Tang to attack Kaifeng and Songzhou.Suddenly, Qin Zongquan attacked from all directions, sweeping south of the Yellow River like a tide.But Qin Zongquan didn't seem to know the reason for the war at all, he kept fighting, killing and killing all the way, endlessly, without mercy.Everywhere they went, they burned, killed, plundered and looted. On the vast land with a radius of thousands of miles, there were only lonely cities as far as the eye could see, without smoke and human traces.From the general to the soldiers, the Qin army was completely in a crazy and abnormal state of mind. The Qin army, a war machine, relied entirely on looting to maintain its operation.Often encountering situations where food and grass cannot be supplied, the Qin army used carts to pull the corpses collected on the battlefield, sprinkled them with salt and pickled them, and ate them at any time.

No ideals, no future, no morals, no principles, no humanity, no purpose. Only rushing, only robbing, only adultery, only fighting to survive, only the illusion in front of you. This is Qin Jun, a war monster assembled by disillusioned thoughts and crazy machines. It was such a magical beast that made Emperor Xizong, who was far away in Sichuan, terrified and dared not return to Chang'an. However, Zhu Quanzhong had to face Qin Zongquan. Zhu Quanzhong had no way out. Zhu Quanzhong must defeat Qin Zongquan. Only when Qin died, could Zhu live. At this time, the imperial court appointed Shi Pu as the military commander of the four-sided battalion to attack Qin Zongquan.Why Shi Pu, not Zhu Quanzhong?Because Shi Pu picked up Huang Chao's head and dedicated it to the imperial court, he made the greatest contribution and seemed to be the most powerful, so the imperial court made Shi Pu the commander-in-chief of the former enemy this time.But Shi Pu really didn't have this ability, he could only protect himself in Xuzhou.The snow in front of the gates of the princes still needs to be cleaned by themselves.

Kaifeng Bianliang was close to Caizhou, Zhu Quanzhong and Qin Zongquan bowed their heads and looked up, and the two fought almost every day.There is only one purpose, to survive.There have been hundreds of battles before and after the two sides. At the beginning, Zhu Quanzhong was at a disadvantage, and the Bian army was less than one-tenth of Qin Zongquan's army. However, Zhu Quanzhong was persevering, boosted morale, and managed to defeat Qin Zongquan's powerful attacks repeatedly.The Bian army fought more and more, while the Qin army fought less and less.Zhu Quanzhong became stronger and stronger, and Qin Zongquan became more and more sad.After more than ten months, Zhu Quanzhong completely got rid of the poor and poor situation, and became so strong that he could turn from defense to offense, and fought more and more bravely until Qin Zongquan was completely wiped out.Qin Zongquan couldn't figure out why anyway, and he refused to admit defeat in front of Zhu Quanzhong, a new little bumpkin.Zhu Quanzhong's tough bones almost made Qin Zongquan go crazy, and his teeth itched with hatred.In any case, Qin Zongquan could not accept the reality of repeated failures in front of Zhu Quanzhong.Qin Zongquan wanted to find Zhu Quanzhong for a decisive battle.

In the spring of 887 AD, Qin Zongquan and Zhu Quanzhong launched a grand and far-reaching battle near Kaifeng.This battle became a watershed in the transformation of the strength of the two sides. Qin Zongquan wanted to attack Kaifeng Bianliang with all his strength, and Zhu Quanzhong was not idle.Zhu Quanzhong knew that his small number of troops was his weakness after all.After discussing with Jingxiang, Zhu Quanzhong went to the imperial court at the beginning of the year and asked the imperial court to appoint the top general Zhu Zhen as the governor of Qingzhou.Before Zhu Zhen left for Qingzhou, Zhu Quanzhong gave Zhu Zhen an important task, asking Zhu Zhen to quickly recruit troops after taking office.As for why they went to Ziqing to recruit soldiers, the main reason was that the Central Plains area had been war-torn for a long time, had experienced chaos, and the population was withered, and nine out of ten people fled.Ziqing lives in a remote corner, there are few wars, and the population is dense.

Zhu Zhen was not only brave and good at fighting, but also an expert in propaganda and organization, especially good at selecting elite soldiers and generals, and helped Zhu Quanzhong formulate a whole set of military systems.Zhu Zhen sent back a letter more than a month after his departure, saying that he had recruited more than 10,000 people ten days after arriving in Qingzhou, Zibo, which shows his strong ability to form an army.After recruiting soldiers, Zhu Zhen did another thing. She raised grass and beat rabbits, and raided the Qingzhou official army horse farm along the way, and obtained more than a thousand horses and a lot of armor and weapons.Zhu Zhen returned with a full load, supplementing important military resources for the Xuanwu Army.

At this time, Qin Zongquan's army had also approached the city. Qin Zongquan's generals Zhang Xun, Qin Xian, and Lu Tang led 150,000 people to fight against Zhu Quanzhong.These people are the number one generals in Qin Zongquan's army. They were originally in charge of a war zone. Qin Xian was in charge of the southern Yangtze River war zone, Zhang Xun was in charge of the Henan war zone, and Lu Tang was in charge of the northern war zone. Qin Gao of Qin Zongquan and Chen Yan of the Southeast War Zone are also known as the Six King Kong of Qin Zongquan. This time, in order to fight Zhu Quanzhong, Qin Zongquan specially transferred three of the six king vajras.It can be seen that Qin Zongquan attaches great importance to this battle, and it also shows the weight of this battle.

After Qin Jun arrived near Kaifeng, the finished characters were laid out.Qin Xian stationed 80,000 troops in Banqiao for frontal attacks, Zhang Xun stationed 60,000 troops in the northern suburbs of Kaifeng for flank attacks, and Lu Tang stationed 10,000 troops in Wansheng to cut off the Bianshui transportation road.The Qin army set up more than 30 camps and stretched for more than 20 miles. They were menacing and murderous, as if they wanted to uproot Bianliang City.In contrast, there were only a handful of Zhu Quanzhong's troops, pitifully curled up in Kaifeng City. Zhu Quanzhong also knew that the war was imminent, and that this battle was about survival, so he should not be careless, while actively meeting the enemy, he asked for help from foreign vassals.This time, Li Keyong can no longer be invited, because Li Keyong and Zhu Quanzhong have become feuds.Shi Pu couldn't invite him anymore, because they were fighting for merit, and the two had an unpleasant quarrel.Looking around, Zhu Quanzhong thought of a person, Zhu Xuan, the governor of Tianping.This Zhu Xuan is a newcomer, he has never known Zhu Quanzhong before, and has nothing to do with him.Zhu Quanzhong quietly wrote a letter asking for help to Zhu Xuan, pinning a little bit of hope that he could not grasp.

The reinforcements are still far away, and the strong enemy is already in sight. Wait or fight? Zhu Quanzhong called all the generals to discuss the strategy of defending against the enemy.There was no sound in the Shuaifu hall, and everyone felt a lot of pressure for this battle.Zhu Quanzhong and Qin Zongquan fought more than a hundred times, and they knew each other better.Bian Jun also had a deep feeling for Qin Jun's madness and ferocity, and never dared to take it lightly.A group of civil and military officers held their breath, waiting for Zhu Quanzhong to speak.Zhu Quanzhong sat behind the Shuai table, put his right arm on the table, held his left knee with his left hand, glanced at everyone, and said solemnly and calmly: "We have been at loggerheads with Cai thief for more than a year, and the thief is arrogant. The misfortune is deep in the Central Plains. We, the army and the people, joined forces to fight and defeated the bandits repeatedly. Most of them relied on the generals to charge bravely and dare to die. Now, even though Cai bandits attack with a force several times that of mine, you don't have to be too nervous. There are many thieves and soldiers, but they are scattered and have no army discipline. Zhang Yan and Qin Xianlao came to fight, and we waited for the labor at ease. The geographical advantage is mine. What's more, the Cai thief thought that we were alone in Bianliang City, and meant to despise us, but he didn't know that Zhu Zhen has already recruited 10,000 troops. This is our secret weapon. In addition, Tianping Jiedu envoy Zhu Xuan will lead 100,000 reinforcements to arrive in a few days. Therefore, we are fully qualified to fight the Cai bandits. "

All the generals under Zhu Quanzhong commanded Zhu Zhen to say in a deep voice: "What the commander-in-chief said is very true. We will defeat the thief more than once. The commander-in-chief's ingenious plan made the enemy frightened. Swear to fight to the end." Zhu Zhen and more than 80 people including Pang Shigu, Xu Tang, Li Hui, Ding Hui, Shi Shucong, Deng Jiyun, Wang Wu, Guo Yan, etc. have followed Zhu Quanzhong since Zhu Quanzhong started his army. Among them, Zhu Zhen is especially brave.According to historical records, Zhu Zhen "destroyed the strong and fell into the formation, and made a decisive decision".These people followed Zhu Quanzhong to the town of Xuanwu and became the old team of the Bian Army, all of whom were elite generals.During the encirclement and suppression of Huangchao, Zhu Quanzhong successively took over Ge Congzhou, Brother Zhang Guiba, Li Tangbin, Li Xuan, Huo Cun and others.Later, in the previous battles against Xuzhou, Yanyun, Qifeng, etc., Liu Zhijun and many other talented people were recruited.These people further strengthened Zhu Quanzhong's team, forming a huge and luxurious lineup of generals in the Bian Army.

The reason why the famous general Ruyun was gathered under Zhu Quanzhong's account was not accidental or without reason.This has a direct relationship with Zhu Quanzhong's personal character and strategy.Zhu Quanzhong has no distinction between generals who come first and who arrives first, nor is there any difference between the distance and thickness, and there is no prejudice against the source of talents.In Zhu Quanzhong's words: "Whoever works for me, I will reuse him."Zhu Quanzhong also has a unique vision for talents. He often promotes civil servants and military generals after a little trial, and appoints them to important positions.Due to Zhu Quanzhong's open and absorbing attitude, Bianjun recruited a large number of advisers and generals in a short period of time.This shows that Zhu Quanzhong has vision and a mind, and he has continuously injected fresh blood into his growing hegemony.During Zhu Quanzhong's struggle for hegemony, these generals displayed their brilliance, and at the same time achieved personal achievements. Zhu Quanzhong nodded approvingly after hearing Zhu Zhen's statement. At this time, Jingxiang said slowly: "The two armies are fighting, knowing the enemy and knowing ourselves is the fundamental. The Cai thief is arrogant, and he came here. He must have the intention of belittling us, thinking that we will not dare to fight lightly. We did the opposite. To do this, when the enemy camp is not stable, catch the enemy by surprise and dampen the enemy's arrogance." Zhu Quanzhong stood up, put his hands on the table, and said: "This battle is extremely difficult. My commander has always been strict in military law. Those who kill the enemy bravely will be rewarded, and those who are cowardly and fearful of the enemy will be killed! Zhu Zhen listens to the order, you and Zhang Guiba, Huo Cun, Li Si'an led 5,000 people with me to attack Qin Xian's camp." Zhu Zhen, Zhang Guiba, Huo Cun, and Li Si'an came out to take orders. Zhu Quanzhong lowered his banners and drums, quietly opened the city gate, and led his men and horses to Qin Xian's position to kill them.Two miles away from the Qin army, Zhu Quanzhong built a pergola on the horse and watched from afar.Seeing the Qin army's camp stretching to the sky, the sound of people shouting and neighing could be heard, and the momentum was indeed majestic.Zhu Quanzhong turned his head and said to Li Si'an: "Li Si'an, go and investigate the reality of the enemy's camp." Li Si'an took the order and led the ten cavalry from the headquarters to rush into Qin Xian's camp like the wind.Li Si'an was tall, mighty and fierce, and was good at using flying spears.Qin Jun was setting up camp, burying pots and making food, but he didn't expect Bian Jun to kill him suddenly, and this Li Si'an was like a god and general descending to earth, the place where his horse stepped was like entering a land without people, flying spears to sweep him, Qin Jun They fell to the ground dead and wounded.Li Si'an rushed from the front to the back of the formation like a whirlwind, killing the Qin army's camp.Li Si'an tore a gap in the thick camp of the Qin army, and the Qin army immediately threw their swords into battle.But Qin Jun hadn't figured out how this god rushed in, and he didn't expect Li Si'an to come back within a quarter of an hour.In the Qin army camp, Li Si'an went in and out, and no one could stop him. Li Si'an, who returned to the front of the Bian army, had a mighty and majestic look on his face, and there were still two captured generals of the Qin army on the saddle bridge.Li Si'an reported to Zhu Quanzhong: "Commander, the Qin army's camp is thinner in the east and thicker in the west." Zhu Quanzhong waved his hand and ordered: "Attack from the east." Zhang Guiba took his two younger brothers Zhang Guihou, Zhang Guibian and Huo Cun to part Leading the cavalry of the headquarters to rush into Qin Xian's camp first.Zhu Zhen led the Chinese army to follow Zhu Quanzhong to kill him.The shouts of the Bian army were earth-shattering, and the generals of the Bian army plunged into the Qin army's position like sharp swords.The Qin army hadn't recovered from Li Si'an's attack just now, when suddenly a large number of Bian troops rushed in front of them.Qin Xian hurriedly got on his horse and commanded to meet the enemy.Huo Cun took the lead, rushing from left to right, smashing through the four camps of the Qin army like a bulldozer.Under the charge of Zhu Zhen, Zhang Guiba, Huo Cun and others, the Qin army was defeated and retreated for 30 miles. More than 5,000 people were killed and wounded, and countless food, grass, equipment and supplies were discarded. Zhu Quanzhong saw that the battle was a complete victory, and ordered to withdraw his troops and return to the city.Back in Bianliang City, Kaifeng, Zhu Quanzhong sat in the lobby of the commander-in-chief, rewarded Zhu Zhen and others, and bestowed a large amount of gold, silver and horses.Zhu Quanzhong ruled the army very strictly, and he did not hesitate to reward generals with military exploits. The promotion of officials took effect immediately, and he scattered gold, silver and money like dirt.But at the same time, those who retreat cowardly are also severely punished.However, after Zhu Quanzhong severely punished the defeated generals, he seldom killed people, and never beat them to death with a stick. In addition to clearly distinguishing rewards and punishments, Zhu Quanzhong also had many unique systems in governing the army. One is the combat system with generals as the core.If the general of a battalion was killed or captured, the soldiers of this battalion would be executed.If the captain of a team was killed or captured, the soldiers of the team were beheaded.Therefore, under this military discipline system, the collective combat effectiveness of the Bian army has always been very strong, the generals charged bravely, and the soldiers killed the enemy unanimously.Everyone is moving forward, everyone is striving to be the first, and each combat unit has maintained a strong offensive and defensive capability.The second is to divide the formation of troops according to the functions of the arms. Some are responsible for opening roads and bridges, which are equivalent to the current engineering troops; An elite unit dedicated to charging into battle.The division of multi-arms troops has greatly improved the level of specialization, improved the comprehensiveness of command and the division of labor and cooperation of troops.The third is the hostage system. Whether it is for surrendered generals, vassals, or direct generals, the wife and children pledge system is implemented. When the generals are out of the army, they need to keep their family members behind as hostages.Even for his own son, Zhu Quanzhong did not fully trust him, so he kept his son's family by his side as hostages.The fourth is the tattoo system. In order to prevent soldiers from fleeing, tattoos are tattooed on the foreheads of soldiers. If soldiers flee from the army privately, no matter where they go, they will be recognized by the local checkpoint and brought back.The fifth is the separation of the army and the land. There are many generals who have made great contributions. Zhu Quanzhong did not hesitate to confer titles of titles, governors, Jiedu envoys, etc., but many people only have positions but no territory, and they are empty positions. Work hard.Zhu Quanzhong's military system not only prevents the risk of the army's self-respect, but also greatly improves the overall combat effectiveness of the army.This was a relatively advanced approach among the warlords at that time. In the Battle of Banqiao, the Bian Army won the victory and their morale was greatly boosted.Zhu Quanzhong was not excited, and kept his unique calmness.He saw that although Qin Xian was defeated unexpectedly, he only retreated temporarily, and the main force was not shaken destructively.Therefore, within two days, Qin Xian will definitely make a comeback.The three battalions of Qin Xian, Zhang Xun, and Lu Tang must not be allowed to form a mutual aid situation, otherwise, Bianliang will be attacked on three sides, and it will be very difficult to defeat the enemy.Zhu Quanzhong decided to still use lightning and sneak attack tactics to defeat the three Qin army positions one by one.While Zhu Quanzhong was actively arranging for an attack, he sent General Guo Yan to the west to recruit troops in the Heyang area urgently.It's people and horses who fight for war. After all, the capital of the Bian army is weak, and its strength is far from that of the Qin army.Despite the extraordinary combat effectiveness, after a few battles, the troops will definitely be severely reduced.This is the weakness that Zhu Quanzhong has been worried about. After assaulting Qin Xian's victory, Zhu Quanzhong ordered people not to remove their armor, and horses not to leave their saddles, and to be on duty.Zhu Zhen, Huo Cun and others didn't know why and were full of suspicion.He thought that he had just won the surprise attack, and the soldiers should be allowed to rest for a while, because there are bigger battles to be fought later.But Zhu Zhen and other generals didn't dare to ask anyone, they knew that Zhu Quanzhong had a violent temper, they might be scolded by Zhu Quanzhong, so they had to go back to the headquarters camp and stand by.At night to the third watch, just as the sound of bang drums sounded, Zhu Quanzhong issued an order to order troops to go out. send troops?where to go After the herald came to Zhu Zhen's camp, he secretly issued orders to Zhu Zhen. Zhu Quanzhong decided to attack Lu Tang! Why did you sneak attack on Lu Tang? It makes sense to attack Lu Tang instead of Zhang Xun. Lu Tang is weaker.The main role of Lu Tang's army is not to attack, but to defend.Lu Tang made a fort under the Bian River, completely sealing off the channel for crossing the river, and cutting off the channel for Zhu Quanzhong's military supplies in Bianliang City.The Qin army's original plan was that Qin Xian and Zhang Xun would attack from both sides, and Zhu Quanzhong would definitely hold on to the city. If Lu Tang cut off the supply, Zhu Quanzhong would soon be waiting to die.Therefore, the main pressure on the battlefield was not in Lu Tang's position, and Lu Tang was more or less paralyzed.Furthermore, Lu Tang was the closest to the closed city, making him a suitable target for a quick sneak attack. There is another favorable factor for the surprise attack on Lu Tang—weather. In April and May, the weather is hot.The inside and outside of Kaifeng City were shrouded in thick fog. Zhu Quanzhong ordered Zhu Zhen and Huo Cun to lead 3,000 people to attack Lu Tang's camp in the mist, and Zhu Quanzhong personally sat in the command to supervise the division.Bian Jun, with the rank of Ma Lekou, quietly, like a ghost, opened the city and went straight to Lu Tang's camp to kill.When the Bian army rushed to the gate of Lu Tang's camp, the guards of the Qin army hadn't noticed yet.Zhu Zhen and Huo Cun didn't answer, they swung their knives and guns and killed everyone they saw.The Bian army dispersed and fought in groups of one hundred people, shouting and setting fire while killing, and after a while the Qin army's camp became a mess.Zhu Zhen and Huo Cun broke into Lu Tang's tent in an instant.At this time, Lu Tang was not ready to put on his cloak, so in a hurry, he had no choice but to lift his spear and get on the horse's back with his shirt off.Seeing Zhu Zhen and Huo Cun coming to fight, Lu Tang knew in his heart that today he has no choice but to fight to the death.Lu Tang gritted his teeth without answering, and went straight to Zhu Zhen and Huo Cun to kill him. Lu Tang was originally a mighty general, but now at the critical moment of life and death, he fought with all his strength.Zhu Zhen and Huo Cun saw Lu Tang's spear whistling like wind, so they didn't dare to be careless, and they joined forces to fight Lu Tang.After ten rounds, Lu Tang was overwhelmed. After all, Zhu Zhen and Huo Cun were also strong opponents with great martial arts skills.Lu Tang's moves were slow, and suddenly, his left arm was slashed by Zhu Zhen, and Lu Tang swayed on the horse's back.This flash revealed a flaw, Huo Cun's long spear pierced into Lu Tang's abdomen with no time to spare.Lu Tang yelled and pulled his horse to run away.It's a pity that Lu Tang is in the underwater village, and it is difficult for the two sides to help each other.In a hurry, Lu Tang fell onto the bridge on his horseback. At this moment, his body was covered with blood and his breath was dying.Lu Tang looked around and saw that the camps on both sides of the Bian River had been engulfed in flames. Knowing that the situation was over, he threw himself into the river and died.The commander-in-chief of the Qin army died in battle. Without the commander, the Qin army was slaughtered by the Bian army like lambs, and the remaining Qin army scattered and fled in all directions. The Bian army once again won a complete victory, breaking two positions of the Qin army in one day.Only then did Zhu Zhen and Huo Cun understand why Zhu Quanzhong asked them to be on duty overnight, so it was to defeat Lu Tang.Zhu Zhen asked Zhu Quanzhong with admiration and bewilderment: "Commander, how do you know that it's foggy today?" Zhu Quanzhong squinted his eyes at the generals, smiled strangely and did not answer.The generals looked at me and I looked at you, and repeatedly praised, "The commander uses his troops like a god!" It is said that the soldiers and horses belonging to Lu Tang escaped by chance, ran all the way, and fled into Zhang Xun's camp in Chigang, north of Kaifeng City.News of Zhu Quanzhong's successive assaults on Qin Xian and the killing of Lu Tang quickly spread to Zhang Xun's army, and Zhang Xun's troops were panicked for a while.Zhang Xun is well aware that the lethality of this news is no less than the deterrent effect of tens of thousands of elite soldiers.In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Zhang Xun personally visited the camps to boost morale. While Zhang Xun was patrolling the camp, Zhu Quanzhong had already arrived. Zhang Xun fired his guns and went out of the camp to meet the enemy in formation. Zhang Xun looked at the Bian army camp on horseback, and estimated that the Bian army's strength was no more than 30,000.Zhang Xun felt a little more at ease. After all, he had 60,000 troops and had taken advantage of his troops.Zhang Xun glanced at his generals, and the generals of the Qin Army also regained their composure at this time, after all, there were several times as many soldiers as the Bian Army behind them. At this time, Zhu Quanzhong sent Zhang Guiba to the front of the battle to challenge.Zhang Xun asked coldly: "Who is going to meet the enemy?" As soon as the words fell, a general of the Qin army rushed out of the formation. This person was Zhang Xun's number one fierce general Meng Chong.Zhang Guiba and Meng Chongma fought in a circle and came to a point, the two were evenly matched, the fight was indistinguishable.The two horses staggered their stirrups, and Zhang Guiba turned his back on the Qin army's position.Suddenly, a spear flew out from the Qin army's position, and pierced Zhang Guiba's thigh with a "bang".Zhang Guiba was attacked unexpectedly, he couldn't sit still on his horse, so he pulled his horse away from the position and fled.Seeing Zhang Guiba's defeat, Meng Chong urged his horse to give chase.Zhang Guiba leaned down, hung on the saddle bridge, secretly took off the bow and arrow, turned his head, aimed at Meng Chong who was trailing behind, set the bow and arrow, and shot hard.Zhang Guiba's arrow went straight to Meng Chong's throat with a sharp whistling.Meng Chong was pursuing with all his strength, but the injured Zhang Guiba was able to shoot back with an arrow.Meng Chong couldn't dodge in time, he was shot through the neck by an arrow, and fell headfirst from his horse. Zhang Guiba got up and sat upright, turned his horse's head and grabbed Meng Chong from the ground. He snatched Meng Chong's horse and returned to the Bian army's position.This thrilling scene was clearly seen by Zhu Quanzhong, who was standing on the high hill and commanding.Zhu Quanzhong immediately summoned Zhang Guiba to the front, bandaged his wounds himself, and repeatedly praised: "Gui Ba is really Zhang Yide, a warrior." Zhu Quanzhong ordered people to bring a hundred taels of gold and Meng Chong's mount to reward Zhang Gui Immediately promote him to be the regular attendant of Zuo Sanqi. Qin Jun saw that Zhang Guiba was so brave, and before Meng Chong was killed in battle, most of the newly recovered morale dissipated immediately.Seeing that the battle was unfavorable, Zhang Xun ordered his troops to return to the camp, shut the door to avoid the battle, and hid in the camp without daring to come out. For five consecutive days, the Qin army avoided fighting. It is not an option to always stalemate without fighting, especially not good for the Bian army. On this day, Zhu Quanzhong decided to personally lure the enemy into battle. Zhu Quanzhong ordered Zhang Guiba to lead 500 archers to ambush in the trenches of the position, and he led 100 light cavalry to go straight to Zhang Xun Dazhai to kill.Zhu Quanzhong's angry horse in fresh clothes took the lead, waving the command flag while charging, deliberately bluffing and amplifying the target.Zhang Xun was lying in the gate, seeing Zhu Quanzhong coming to challenge himself, and he didn't bring many troops, he was secretly happy.The super desire to capture Zhu Quanzhong alive occupied Zhang Xun's mind.People's gambling nature is hidden in the bottom of their hearts, and once the time is right, this temperament will explode.Zhang Xun was undoubtedly overwhelmed by this kind of gamble. He was eager to save the defeat, which prompted him to have a delusion of capturing Zhu Quanzhong alive, which fell into Zhu Quanzhong's trick to lure the enemy. Zhang Xun ordered two thousand elites to cover up and kill Zhu Quanzhong.When Zhu Quanzhong saw that Zhang Xun had fallen for the trick, he was secretly happy, turned his horse around and pretended to run away.After Zhu Quanzhong withdrew to the trench where Zhang Guiba was ambushing, the Qin army had also chased him.Zhang Guiba and five hundred archers suddenly jumped up from the ditch and fired all their arrows at the Qin army.In an instant, the two thousand elite Qin troops were all killed or injured. This setback completely destroyed the fighting will of Zhang Xun and Qin Jun.The Qin army no longer dared to step out of the camp gate, and hid in the camp and stood firm without fighting. If Zhang Xun does not fight, the Bian army will have no chance to defeat him.Without defeating Zhang Xun, the threat of Bianliang cannot be lifted.Zhu Quanzhong came up with another strategy with low cost and high effect.Every night, Zhu Quanzhong sent three or five teams of soldiers, each with fifty men, to the surrounding area of ​​Zhang Xun's camp, beating gongs and drums, shouting and shouting.Zhang Xun thought that the Bian army had come to steal the camp and rob the village, so he quickly got up and put on his horse, ready to defend against the enemy.But after discovering that it was just a suspicious strategy of the Bian army, he had to go back to the camp to rest.As soon as he lay down, Bian Jun came to toss again. Zhang Xun didn't know which one was true and which one was false, so he didn't dare to neglect, and ordered troops to defend again.After repeated frights by the Bian Army, Qin Jun was exhausted, physically and mentally haggard, sleepy and suffering, so that when there was no Bian Army to harass, the military academy in the Qin Army repeatedly woke up in nightmares, and some suffered from sleepwalking , visiting everywhere, closing their eyes and yelling "The Bian army is coming, the Bian army is coming", so that they disturbed each other, and the whole camp was restless.Zhu Quanzhong's psychological warfare played a huge role, completely destroying Qin Jun's spirit.The Qin army struggled to support, could not fight, and did not dare to retreat. It was like a year. Zhu Quanzhong estimated that the Qin army had been tossed to the point of collapse, so he ordered general Huo Cun to lead 3,000 people to attack the Qin army at night.This time it wasn't thirty or fifty troublemakers from the Bian army beating gongs and drums, but Huo Cun's elite cavalry, who really came to steal the camp and rob the village with real knives and guns.Things are like this, what happens repeatedly may not be true, when you think it won't happen, it will happen.Qin Jun, who was harassed by Bian Jun, was exhausted, numb, frightened, and restless, thinking that he could finally sleep well, and Qin Jun snored everywhere for a while. The Qin army camp was silent, the earth was silent, and the sky was silent.The moon, stars, insects, flowers and plants all fell asleep, a quiet and wonderful atmosphere.Under the cover of night and mist, Huo Cun led three thousand elite cavalry directly into the camp of the Qin army.Huo Cun's Bian soldiers were fast horses and long knives. After rushing into the Qin army's camp, they went on a rampage, slashing and chopping regardless of the situation.It wasn't until thousands of Qin Jun were beheaded in their sleep that Qin Jun realized that Bian Jun had really come close.It's too late, everything is coming to an end.Huo Cun seemed to have broken into a melon field and vegetable field, hacking and killing with the momentum of the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves.The Qin army was in a mess and could not organize an effective resistance at all.At dawn, the battle ended, Huo Cun beheaded 20,000 Qin soldiers!Rivers of blood flowed on the battlefield, corpses piled up like mountains, and the smell of blood was everywhere.The remaining 40,000 Qin troops threw down the gongs, drums, tents, knives, guns, equipment, grain and grass vehicles all over the mountains and plains, and fled for their lives in a rout. So far, Zhu Quanzhong defeated the three Qin armies of Qin Xian, Lu Tang, and Zhang Yan in succession, won a complete victory, and the threat of Bianliang was lifted. There were cheers in Bianliang City, filled with the joy of victory, and the sound of gongs and drums was everywhere. Zhu Quanzhong rewarded the three armies grandly. Victory is short-lived, and joy is short-lived. Because Qin Zongquan is here.
