Wangwushan.
At this moment, everything is going crazy.
Wang Yuan sat in front of Guo Zi, his hands shaking constantly.
The two sat facing each other and said nothing for a long time.
Suddenly, someone ran into the house and saluted the two of them.
"Why are you still saluting? Tell me quickly. How is the situation?"
Wang Yuan asked angrily.
That man was also one of Wang Yuan's confidants. He said helplessly at this moment: "There is no way to find out. The enemies are coming in a steady stream. It is estimated that there are nearly a million troops. Their troops have been walking on the official road for several days and nights. They haven’t even finished walking, and every place is densely packed with their people.”
"They have set up checkpoints on all the roads, making it impossible to pass."
Hearing the words of his confidant, Wang Yuan almost collapsed.
"It's broken! It's broken!"
"How many powerful people can be defeated to attract such a large army to attack?!"
Wang Yuan, who had always been calm, was confused at this moment, but Guo Zi, who had always been unreliable, became calm, "There won't be so many people."
"The total army of the Wei Dynasty is only more than 400,000. There will be no one million to attack us."
"If Sima Zhao came from Hebei, he must have gathered the Hebei army, and the number should be about 100,000."
Guo Zi's analysis was very rational, but after hearing these words, Wang Yuan became even more sad and angry.
Is there any difference between an army of one hundred thousand and an army of one million?
He now has more than 10,000 people under his command. Although he has a certain scale, if he comes into contact with soldiers, there will be big problems. Even if he exchanges ten for one, he may not be able to get through it.
Wang Yuan dared to jump out before because he felt that the temple would not summon a large army to attack a small bandit like himself. If he had known that the powerful people in Hanoi would be treated like this, then he should not have gone down the mountain in the first place.
Wang Yuan's previous plunder was not very successful due to the strengthening of defenses in various places. Only some small powerful people were attacked by him.
When he quickly ran back to the mountains with his things, he found that the army began to attack him in a steady stream.
At this moment, Wang Yuan once again thought of running away.
Dozens of people hiding in the mountains are completely different from 10,000 people hiding in the mountains.
Now that his family has a big business, it is very difficult to hide in the mountains. He doesn't have the ability of Zhang Yan back then.
Thinking of the gathered army, Wang Yuan's expression became worse and worse.
Looking at the depressed people, Guo Zi said: "This may not be a bad thing."
"Master Sima is dead. Sima Zhao is now serving as General of the Guard, but he has not been able to become General. This shows that His Majesty already has a certain amount of power."
"Sima Zhao left Luoyang perhaps just to gain more military power."
"If we can hold him off in the mountains, we can even defeat them."
Faced with Guo Zui's words, Wang Yuan had no expression on his face.
He didn't think he could defeat that 100,000-strong army. Let alone 100,000, a thousand fully armed soldiers could kill more than 10,000 of his own.
The disparity in strength is too great.
At this moment, Guo Zi continued to talk about his plan. He planned to use the favorable terrain to set up traps and obstacles in various places to delay the opponent's time as much as possible. Then he would divide the army into small groups and go to various places in the mountains. The other party cannot be destroyed together.
He even believed that elites should be sent quietly down the mountain to wreak havoc in various places near the mountains to increase the opponent's defense range.
Guo Zi spoke for a long time, then looked at Wang Yuan who remained silent again, and said seriously: "Does Wang Yuan want to give up?"
"When things have reached this point, is there still room for giving up?"
"Now, if you can't complete the big thing, you will die in the hands of thieves. There is no other choice!"
Wang Yuan was able to achieve what he did today, so of course he was a ruthless person. He slowly put away the fear in his heart and had to find a way to save himself.
Wang Yuan thought for a long time, and judging from the current situation, it seemed that he could only follow Guo Zi's idea and delay it as much as possible.
Even if he wants to run away, it is probably difficult to escape smoothly. There are too many people under his command, and they are not that loyal to him. If he knew that he had the idea of escape, he would probably start an internal strife and die faster.
Wang Yuan soon had his own idea, and he hurriedly bowed to Guo Ke.
"Guo Gong's words make sense!"
"Your words made me clear the clouds and see the sun, and I suddenly became enlightened!"
"Mr. Guo, I have never dealt with General Wei in the past. I will leave all the matters of defeating General Wei to you!"
"I will definitely assist you with all my strength to help you defeat the powerful enemy."
Guo Ji was very pleased. He helped Wang Yuan in front of him up and said seriously: "We will go all out."
Immediately, Wang Yuan summoned everyone and announced that he would obey Guo Zi's orders. Except for Wang Yuan's own confidants, the outsiders did not think there was anything wrong.
After all, they came here to defect because of Guo Zi's reputation. A high-ranking disciple led them to rebel against the Sima family.
Guo Zi quickly started his own deployment and arrangements.
Wang Yuan, on the other hand, said nothing and obeyed his orders completely.
When the discussion ended, Wang Yuan's confidants hurriedly followed Wang Yuan back to their own houses.
"Brother, what are you doing?"
"We were the ones who brought these people together. We were the ones who started the uprising in the first place. How can we easily give up the power to him, Guo Kui, now?"
Wang Yuan's confidants all looked a little anxious.
Wang Yuan glanced at them, "How can we achieve great things if we only care about these small profits?"
"When we started the uprising, we gave up those interests and hid here. Our power has grown even more than before, and the same is true now."
"Sima Zhao's 100,000 troops are around. How can we protect ourselves if we don't give up some interests?"
"If we fail this time, then Guo Ji will be responsible for this, and we can escape."
A confidant asked: "What if he succeeds?"
Wang Yuan glanced at him and said, "If he can really lead these ten thousand old and weak men to defeat Sima Zhao, then from now on I will take him as the leader and assist him with peace of mind. Why not?"
The confidants gradually came to their senses and nodded.
Wang Yuan sighed again.
"How come Sima Zhao is targeting us?"
Hanoi.
Sima Zhao did not enter the city, but instead stationed a camp outside, pretending to be ready to leave the city to fight at any time.
At this moment, his three closest confidants were all sitting in front of him.
And these three confidants are Yin Damu, Cheng Kuan, and Yang Zong.
This is why Cao Mao didn't take Sima Zhao seriously at all.
Sima Zhao said with a straight face, "The true purpose of our coming must not be known to outsiders."
"Colonel Yin, just tell these people to be prepared to go into the mountains to quell the rebellion. Don't tell them the truth."
Yin Damu quickly saluted and said yes.
Sima Zhao looked at Cheng Wu again, and he said seriously: "Chengjun, you must continue to send people to explore the situation in Luoyang. If possible, see if you can get in touch with Sima Qian and the others. We are still in the Chinese Army." If you have your own confidants, you will never be controlled by the ministers so easily!"
Cheng Kuan hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Wei."
Sima Zhao has now brought the army from Hebei to the Sili area, and he is ready to attack Luoyang. At present, he needs a chance.
He believed that Du Yu, who was going to Luoyang, would give him a good opportunity to win Luoyang.
Yang Zong looked at the two captains beside him and felt something was wrong.
For some reason, he vaguely felt that the reactions of the two captains were not quite right.
Yin Damu seemed to be a little too enthusiastic. During these days, he always seemed to think about Sima Zhao and took the initiative to take on many things, making Sima Zhao trust him more.
Yang Zong thought this was a bit strange. When he was in Hebei, Yin Damu was still relatively aloof and unwilling to participate in too many things. Why did he become so flattering when he arrived in Hanoi? ?
The same is true for Cheng Kuo, who is exactly the opposite of Yin Damu.
When he was in Hebei, Cheng Kuo was very enthusiastic and very positive every time he encountered something. But when he arrived in Hanoi, he suddenly became taciturn.
Yang Zong couldn't figure out why.
It's understandable that Cheng Kuan was afraid because he knew he had to deal with the ministers, so he didn't dare to come forward.
But according to Yin Damu's reaction, could it be that he secretly surrendered to the ministers?
Yang Zong quickly dismissed this idea.
It is almost impossible for Yin Damu to be accepted by the ministers. He cannot even be considered a poor family. He is a pariah with a double name. He is a domestic slave. Those high-ranking nobles can look at him and treat him as a favor, and they will actively win over him. he? ?
Moreover, he had betrayed Cao Shuang before and was infamous.
What is his purpose? ?
When the discussion ended, Yang Zong, Yin Damu and others left the tent at the same time.
"Captain Yin."
Yang Zong suddenly shouted.
Yin Damu turned around and looked at him, "Mr. Yang"
Yang Zong walked up to him with a smile, stared at his face seriously, and asked: "You have always wanted to take over General Wei's defense affairs. What is your purpose?"
Yin Damu's heart trembled.
Yin Damu had no choice, and he didn't want to act too hasty, but at this stage, there were not many opportunities, so he could only try his best to gain Sima Zhao's trust.
At this moment, Sima Zhao was concentrating on how to deal with the officials, but he did not doubt his position.
On the contrary, this Mr. Yang is just as the man said, difficult to deal with.
Yin Damu was not panicked. He replied in a low voice: "I just want to get the opportunity to make meritorious deeds."
"Oh? If you stay with General Wei, can you still get the chance to make meritorious deeds?"
"This is what a friend of mine told me. He said that if you stay here, you will have many opportunities to make meritorious deeds."
Yang Zong narrowed his eyes, "Friend? Is your surname Gao or Wang?"
Yin Damu shook his head, "His surname is Liu."
"My name is Liu Lu."
