Chapter 50 Chapter 1 Kanglong has regrets

A victory is worth a thousand words. At the beginning, Liu Yan begged his grandpa to sue his grandma and begged the heroes everywhere in Nanyang to join forces to rebel, but the heroes were coy and refused in every possible way. After Liu Yan conquered Huyang, these heroes did not Please come here, bring your own team to defect, and shout to Liu Yan: "Brother Yan, count me in!" The Han army team rolled like a snowball and got bigger and bigger all the way. At the beginning of November, they arrived at Jiyang, the barrier of Wancheng.Seeing the menacing approach of the Han army, Cen Peng, the magistrate of Jiyang County, thought he was outnumbered and outnumbered, so he simply abandoned the city ahead of time, and made a strategic retreat to Wancheng with all the family members, guests, people and luggage in the city.Cen Peng knew that when Liu Yan saw the city of Jiyang empty, he would lead a large army to pursue him, so he waited for the people and supplies to cross the Feishui River, leaving more than 20 riders behind, and ordered him to hide in the woods behind the bridge, cut off branches, and tied them to the bridge. On the horse's tail, galloping back and forth in the woods, kicking up dust, thinking it was a suspicious soldier.Cen Peng immediately stood on the bridge with his gun horizontally, looking east, while waiting for Liu Yan, while posing.

When Liu Yan arrived at the city of Dejiyang, he saw that it was an empty city. Sure enough, he led his men to chase after him. When he reached Feishui, he saw Cen Peng standing alone at the head of the bridge.Liu Yan reined in, rubbed his eyes and pinched his face, unable to believe what he saw.Liu Ji persuaded: "Cen Peng, single-handedly, dares to block our army's way, he must have nothing to fear. Behind the woods east of the bridge, there is a lot of dust, and there must be an ambush." ​​Liu Yan looked at Cen Peng, sneered: "boring! I want to learn from future generations of longboards Qiao Zhangfei? Let the arrows shoot the girl into a hedgehog." As soon as the words fell, all the arrows flew together, and Cen Peng shouted: "Shameless, spoil my appearance." He swung his gun to block from left to right, but how could he prevent it? In an instant, he was shot all over his arms.Cen Peng was in pain, he rode his horse and galloped back, with more than twenty riders with him, seeing the general fleeing, he didn't care about playing tricks in the woods, and followed Cen Peng in a hurry.

Although Liu Yan was victorious, after Cen Peng made such a fuss, he became suspicious and did not dare to advance rashly, so he led the crowd back to Jiyang to rest. Deng Chen and Li Tong, who had not heard from him for a long time, also led their guests to meet up. For a while, the Han army became more powerful. Besides, when Cen Peng fled back to Wancheng, Zhen Fu, the prefect of Nanyang, was furious. Jiyang is a strategically important place. As the county magistrate, Cen Peng should stick to it. ?He ordered Cen Peng to be pushed out and beheaded, and he was persuaded by left and right.Still angry, Zhen Fu put Cen Peng's mother and wife in prison, and ordered Cen Peng to pay the debt for himself.

Zhen Fu is also an ambitious person in his official career, he is not afraid of rebellion, what he fears is that there will be no rebellion.Someone rebelled, just enough for him to make meritorious deeds in a pool of blood.Since Li Tong's rebellious plot was exposed, Zhen Fu began to recruit strong men on a large scale. So far, he has gathered 50,000 elite soldiers.Zhen Fu and Nanyang Captain Liang Qiuci led the 50,000 elite soldiers to gather in Little Chang'an, thirty-seven miles south of Wancheng, waiting for Liu Yan.Cen Peng went with the army. Liu Yan won consecutive battles, and his generals were arrogant, thinking that Wancheng was just around the corner.The Han army was mighty and chaotic all the way. When they arrived at Xiaochang'anju, it was already dark, so they set up camp and set off tomorrow.The spies reported back to Zhen Fu, who was overjoyed and planned to rob the village overnight.Cen Peng hurriedly said: "No, Liu Yan is familiar with the art of war, so he must be prepared."

Zhen Fu said angrily: "This old man leads 50,000 elite soldiers, if he doesn't rob the village, is he robbing the color?" Cen Peng calmly replied: "The lower officials also want to rob the stronghold, but they should choose the time carefully." Zhen Fu said: "When is the best time?" Cen Peng said: "Yin time. It is dawn, and the bandits are the most sleepy and the easiest to relax. " Zhen Fu also felt that what Cen Peng said was reasonable, he nodded and said: "Then it will be Yinshi to rob the stronghold." But Cen Peng said leisurely: "However, it was a false move to rob the stronghold at Yinshi."

Zhen Fu glared at Cen Peng angrily: "The military situation is urgent, what do you have to say to me in one breath, why are you so clever?" Pioneer, go to the enemy camp at Yinshi tomorrow to fight. The prefect and the captain will lead the army and set up ambushes along the way. The officials will fight the Han soldiers, pretend to be defeated and flee. The Han soldiers will pursue them and enter our army. Furthermore, tomorrow Yinshi will pass , There must be heavy fog. When the mob of Han soldiers sees the thick fog, they will be terrified and restless, chaotic like scattered sand, and attack and kill each other. Our army will take advantage of the opportunity to attack, and the Han soldiers will be defeated."

Zhen Fu said: "How can there be heavy fog tomorrow?" Cen Peng said: "In the winter moon season, the sky is cloudless and there are few stars at night. It must be a sign of fog. All old farmers can know this, so what's so difficult!" Zhen Fu originally thought that Cen Peng would call the wind and call the rain, and Qimen Dunjia, etc., but after hearing it, it turned out that it was just the simplest life experience.Zhen Fu, as the commander-in-chief, was always dominated by Cen Peng, feeling unwilling, he sneered, "General Cen is so cunning, why did Jiyang lose so much?"

Cen Peng didn't blush, and replied loudly: "A lot of money is good at business, and long-sleeved is good at dancing. There are few officers and soldiers, and one enemy is a hundred. How can I be undefeated! However, it is precisely because the subordinates are defeated by Thorny Yang first." , This time the robbery of the stronghold pretends to be defeated, the Han army will believe it, and it will be easy to pursue. This is why I succeeded in my plan." Zhen Fu was overjoyed and acted according to plan.At Yin time the next day, Cen Peng led his guests straight to the Han camp. The Han soldiers had already been prepared and surrounded them to fight.Although Cen Peng is aiming to lure the enemy, he can't just go up and lose. He must act realistically enough.Cen Peng fought to the death with his guests, killed one thousand enemies and suffered eight hundred self-damages before slowly retreating.

Liu Yan did not suspect fraud, and ordered the whole army to pursue him.Liu Xiu thought that the enemy's situation was unknown, and the soldiers were exhausted, so it would not be too late to chase after sunrise.Liu Yan laughed and said, "Uncle Wen, why are you so timid?" He didn't listen. As Cen Peng expected, there was a thick fog gradually rising.The Han army chased Cen Peng vigorously, so pay attention!The fog gradually filled up, and when the Han soldiers realized it, they were already deep in the thick fog, and they couldn't see people within five steps, and they couldn't tell the direction.The Han soldiers were terrified and fled in all directions.There was a big ambush by the officers and soldiers, and Cen Peng also returned to his division to fight, and the Han soldiers became more and more chaotic.

The reeds are green and the white dew is frost. This is the poet's fortune, but the soldier's misfortune.The dense fog covered the sky, obscuring the line of sight and hiding the direction.The poor Han army, with their eyes wide open vigilantly, walked through the fog alone. What awaited them were officers and soldiers who suddenly rushed out, and a knife blade that suddenly struck.Everything is like a dream, the bright red blood is scattered among the white mist, and the body falls silently, the sun is about to rise, and they will never see it again. As soon as Liu Xiu saw the thick fog, he immediately led his troops to retreat. After running a few steps, he was separated from his subordinates.Liu Xiu fled all the way back, and just happened to meet his younger sister Bo Ji, who was in a state of despair, hugging a tree and crying.Liu Xiu grabbed Bo Ji, threw her on the horse, and rode away together. Moving forward, she met her second sister, Liu Yuan, who was running slowly and wildly with the three young daughters born to her and Deng Chen.Liu Xiu catches up with Liu Yuan and urges him to get on the horse. Liu Yuan waved his hand and said, "It's okay, we can't save each other, and we can do nothing!" Liu Xiu burst into tears and said nothing about leaving her second sister behind.Seeing that Liu Xiu refused to obey, Liu Yuan wept bitterly, pulled out the hairpin from his head, and stabbed fiercely into the horse's ass.The horse couldn't bear the pain, and ran away with Liu Xiu and Bo Ji.Just as Liu Xiu left, the pursuers had arrived and killed Liu Yuan and his three daughters.When Liu Xiu turned her head, she saw a vast expanse of whiteness behind her, and her second sister and three little nieces had long been engulfed in the mist.

Liu Xiu fled back to Jiyang, and Liu Yan and others gradually withdrew. When everyone saw each other, it was as if they had passed away.Counting the number of people, Liu's family members died more: Liu Liang's wife and second son died; Liu Xiu's second brother Liu Zhong died; Liu Jia's wife and children died; the rest of the Liu family died nearly a hundred people.The casualties of the soldiers were even more serious. Liu Yan led his direct line to the front, and five out of ten died. Although Xinshi soldiers and Ping Lin soldiers retreated behind, three out of ten died.
