What is the content of the Peking Opera "Ding Jun Shan"?

The main content is: During the Three Kingdoms period, when Wei and Shu were at war, Cao Cao sent his general Zhang He to attack the Jiameng Pass, where he was defeated by the veteran generals of Shu Han, Huang Zhong and Yan Yan. Zhang He fled to Dingjun Mountain and joined Xiahou Yuan, ready to **** together against the Shu army.

Ge Liang, in order to increase Huang Zhong's confidence in winning, falsely said that Huang Zhong was too old to defeat Xiahou Yuan, and was ready to fight with someone else. Huang Zhong heard very angry, said he is old but his strength is not reduced, and made a military order, vowed to take down Dingjunshan within ten days.

George Liang saw the success of the incentive method, so he readily agreed to Huang Zhong to go to war. During the battle, Xiahou Yuan captured Huang Zhong's general Chen Shi, and Huang Zhong captured Xiahou Yuan's nephew Xiahou Shang alive.

The two sides then agreed to exchange hostages in front of the two armies. But when Xiahou Yuan released Chen Shi, Huang Zhong shot Xiahou Shang to death, provoking Xiahou Yuan to come out to fight. Huang Zhong then performed the Dragging Sword Trick, decapitated Xiahou Yuan and captured Dingjun Mountain.

Extended information:

Dingjun Mountain is based on the Battle of Dingjun Mountain during the Three Kingdoms period:

In the first month of the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an (219). Liu Bei crossed the Shinshui River from Yangping and stationed himself at Dingjun Mountain, where Xiahou Yuan led an army to fight.

Liu Bei led more than ten thousand of his best men to attack Zhang He by night in ten divisions; Zhang He led his own guards to fight back, and Liu Bei could not overcome them; Xiahou Yuan sent Zhang He to guard the eastern part of Deerhorn, and his own best men to guard the southern part of Deerhorn; Liu Bei then attacked Zhang He with all his strength, and when Zhang He could not be defeated, Xiahou Yuan divided his army into halves and went to rescue Zhang He.

Liu Bei then adopted the strategy of burning the surrounding corners in the Valley of Walking Horses, and while Xiahou Yuan went to put out the fire, he sent General Huang Zhong to attack Yuan's army from a high position, and Xiahou Yuan was killed in battle. His posthumous name was Min.
