Guo Si was trapped in Xiwu.
But he was not worried at all, let alone scared. With the material reserves inside Xiwu, he could definitely use up the supplies with Cao's army outside to see who couldn't survive it first.
Xiwu is a tortoise shell made by Dong Zhuo. You can imagine how hard it is.
If people from outside want to break in, it is basically impossible for tens of thousands of people.
Of course Guo Si knew that Cao Cao was attacking him in the name of the emperor, but it didn't matter at all.
Cao Cao could only send this few people to attack Yiwu. He believed that it was impossible to send another large army to Guanzhong, otherwise they might be stolen. After all, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Lu Bu, Liu Bei and others were all powerful enemies around Cao Cao.
As long as the army doesn't come, Guo Bang is completely confident that he can almost consume the people outside.
As long as Chen Zhou outside has no food, he can do anything.
But just when Guo Bang was calm and composed, a soldier ran in eagerly.
"General, people from outside have sent in letters one after another urging them to surrender."
"A letter to persuade you to surrender?"
Guo Bang was very curious and took the letter and opened it.
One of them was for Wu Xi to kill him and surrender.
The other person persuaded the soldiers of Sanhe Five Schools, Longxiang Garrison and others to surrender.
Guo Bang pondered for a while and asked, "What is Wu Xi's reaction now?"
"My subordinate is not coming back from General Wu. I don't know yet."
The soldier continued: "However, the letter urging the surrender of the Sanhe Five Schools and the Longxiang garrison has been circulated among the army, and it seems to have some adverse effects."
"Adverse effects?"
Guo Si walked back and forth for a while.
I don't care what the situation is at Wu Xi's side, but this letter directly penetrated the hearts of many Han soldiers and aroused their homesickness, which was very unfriendly to the unity within the army.
"Go out and have a look."
Guo Si decided.
As soon as they arrived outside, they saw a group of soldiers gathering together and whispering. But when they saw Guo Bang coming out, the soldiers immediately separated, as if they were afraid.
Although they stopped in time, Guo Si could still overhear that the content of their words was related to the letter to persuade them to surrender.
The morale of the military seemed really shaken.
The Xiliang soldiers still have a certain degree of cohesion towards Guo Si. Although they are also homesick, they will not express it so directly.
The Three Rivers and Five Schools were different. Although the Longxiang garrison also came from Xiliang, they were originally soldiers of the Han Dynasty. Like the Three Rivers and Five Schools, they gathered in groups at this time to discuss what should be done.
After all, there is really no future for following Guo Si.
It was fine when Dong Zhuo was around.
With Dong Zhuo gone, his subordinates were divided into various factions, and those factions could not develop.
Ordinary soldiers don't have much culture or knowledge, but they still have some feelings when they follow Guo Bang. It can be seen that Guo Bang is probably like this.
It's better to find another boss.
Guo Bang's face suddenly became very ugly.
Now, the soldiers under his command have openly betrayed him, but he can't do anything yet.
If you dare to kill a few people, it will not only fail to stabilize the morale of the army, but may also cause the morale of the army to become even more chaotic. Then the purpose of the people outside will be achieved.
"General, I'm going to stop them."
The soldier following Guo Bang said.
Guo Bang shook his head and said: "Forget it, the more you don't tell them, the more disgusted they will be."
The Sanhe Five Schools and the Long Xiang Army account for about half of his men. If a mutiny occurs, they will definitely not be able to suppress it.
Guo Bang had to think of a way to stabilize them.
But let’s see how Wu Xi reacts.
The only person around him who could stabilize those people was Wu Xi.
If Wu Xi also wants to betray, Guo Bang feels that he is almost done. Who is the general of Cao's army outside? This move left him at a loss and disrupted all arrangements.
"General Wu."
Guo Si quickly found Wu Xi.
"General!"
Wu Xi stood up, bowed to him, and asked proactively: "General, are you here to persuade me to surrender?"
Guo Bang laughed and said: "It seems that I can't hide it from General Wu. Of course I trust you, but I'm just afraid that you will have any bad feelings."
Wu Xi solemnly said: "Thank you, General, for your concern. The so-called letter of persuasion to surrender is actually a plan by Cao Jun outside to sow discord. I will never be fooled, and I will definitely not betray the General."
"I told you, I trust you, no need to explain."
Guo Binxin did not trust him, and only he knew it in his heart, but it was necessary to be polite and not to offend Wu Xi, saying: "When this incident is over, General Wu will be the most responsible. But whether we can survive it, all It’s up to you, people outside, it’s better for you to appease the soldiers’ morale.”
"I see."
Wu Xi knew that he was talking about the Longxiang garrison.
Most of the soldiers from the Sanhe and the Five Schools also recognized him as a former Han Dynasty border guard officer.
This is why Guo Si came to see Wu Xi.
"I have read those letters urging surrender. They will definitely not cause chaos in the army." Wu Xi promised.
After hearing this, Guo Bang felt relieved.
They went to inspect Wubao together to see what the situation of Cao's army was outside.
Guo Si is still confident that he can defend this place.
Outside Wubao.
"warlord."
At this time, Duan Xuan pointed at the man standing on the left above Wubao.
Chen Zhou happened to be leading everyone under the Wubao, trying to figure out how to advance the internal turmoil in the Wubao. When Duan Xuan pointed out that the person was Wu Xi, he suddenly had an idea and said: "Let the officers and soldiers below, Recognize Wu Xi’s appearance and figure clearly, and as soon as he appears alone, send him a special surrender letter. Also, when you see other people with similar height and build to Wu Xi, send special surrender letters to him as well.”
This exclusive letter of surrender will be written by him himself later.
Something prepared by Wu Xi himself.
Originally, he was worried that the chaos in Xiwu was not bad enough, but now the opportunity came to his door.
"good!"
Duan Xuan nodded.
He immediately called all the officers and soldiers around him to memorize Wu Xi's general description.
Wu Xi was very puzzled when he saw Cao Jun below and someone pointing in his direction.
"There are three missing and one is missing."
After Guo Si inspected a circle, he said: "Cao Jun outside really thinks he has the ability to surround me and drive me out to the west?"
He sneered, then noticed the following situation and said, "General Wu, I heard that you have a good relationship with Duan Xuan?"
Wu Xi explained: "We were all officers of the Long Xiang Army in the past. We know each other, and the relationship cannot be said to be very good. General, don't get me wrong."
"Of course there is no misunderstanding."
Guo Bang explained: "But I see that Duan Yan and the others seem to be looking towards you."
He didn't know Chen Zhou, nor did he know who Dian Wei was.
But from a long distance, Duan Yan was recognized at a glance, and it was certain that Duan Yan and the others were looking at Wu Xi.
"He may also want to persuade me to surrender."
Wu Xi shook his head and smiled: "But this is impossible, I am not a person who will betray."
When Guo Si heard this, he nodded slightly. This was the attitude he wanted.
