Chapter 334 Dispute

Three days later, enemy soldiers blocked the pass.

Guo Shuhan really lived up to his reputation as the "pillar of the country". He took advantage of the strong city walls and favorable terrain to firmly hold the last gateway to Changning.

Shixue'an's army was defeated again.

This time the army included many foreign soldiers. They had only heard about the reputation of General Guo from their fathers. After this battle, they all had a more intuitive feeling.

But they can no longer convey this feeling to living people.

Eunuch Zhang, the eunuch who oversees the army in Tongguan, danced for joy. He ordered someone to write a battle report and send it to Changning overnight.

Afterwards, Eunuch Zhang immediately ordered the cooks to prepare a celebration banquet.

Guo Shuhan said calmly: "Eunuch Zhang, I'm afraid it's not the time to celebrate now. Although they were defeated this time, they will not completely collapse. There is a saying in the Western Regions that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. We'd better be careful. .”

Eunuch Zhang was unhappy in his heart, but he immediately smiled and said: "Old General Shen Dudu is a role model for our generation. However, our family believes that a proper celebration can improve morale. Nowadays, the soldiers are very tired, and carrying out this kind of ceremony will It should be beneficial to everyone.”

The eunuchs who supervise the army have very high power in the army. General Guo is now old and has no longer the vigor to confront such eunuchs when he was young.

He thought for a moment and said, "That's just like what my father-in-law said. But the scene shouldn't be too big, and the soldiers must take turns on duty. They must stay awake."

Eunuch Zhang cupped his hands and said, "That's natural. We'll give the order now."

After saying that, he bowed and walked slowly.

Guo Shuhan looked at his leaving figure and secretly clenched his fists.

For three consecutive days, Tongguan was peaceful.

On the fourth day, news came from the scouts - generals Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi were besieging Luoyang, the capital of the Yan Kingdom, with heavy troops. The two sides were at a stalemate at first, but after two days, Ning Fuhai gradually lost ground.

Guo Shuhan was overjoyed: I am in great danger if God does not destroy me!

Zhang Gonggong said: "If we hold on for another day or two, Shi Xu'an will probably go back for rescue. At that time, we only need to send some soldiers to pursue them, and we will definitely win a complete victory."

Guo Shuhan listened and looked at the map without commenting.

The next day.

"Report——! General, Shi Xue'an is slowly retreating with his troops!" The scout hurried in and reported to Guo Shuhan.

"Oh? You really retreated." Guo Shuhan immediately walked from the barracks to the wall to watch.

Sure enough, Shixue'an's army was in disarray and low in morale, and was slowly retreating to the rear, staggeringly.

"It seems that they are going to support Ning Fuhai." At some point, Eunuch Zhang came to him and said.

Guo Shuhan looked at the retreating team calmly with his deep eyes without saying a word.

Eunuch Zhang quickly said: "General Guo, the enemy has fled, let's take advantage of the victory and pursue it!"

"Where did they escape to?"

"Of course I'm going to support Ning Fuhai!"

Guo Shuhan glanced sideways at him: "How did you know?"

How did Eunuch Zhang know the art of war? The language was blocked for a moment.

A trace of anger appeared on his pale and sickly face, but he quickly suppressed it.

"Of course I don't know the art of war. We just make judgments based on common sense."

"Common sense?" Guo Shuhan's voice suddenly became louder, "A soldier never tires of deceit. Can we follow common sense when fighting?"

Eunuch Zhang immediately cupped his hands and said, "Of course not."

He knew that he could no longer talk at this moment, so he just found an excuse to go back to his room.

As soon as he walked in, he immediately closed the doors and windows, took out the Four Treasures of the Study, and after a moment of thought, he began to write:

"Prime Minister Jun Jian..."

After a while, the letter was finished. He called the monk, took out a messenger charm from his underwear pocket and handed it to him:

"Enter this letter into this talisman and send it out immediately."

The monk took it with both hands and placed it directly on the talisman without opening the letter.

But I saw a purple light emitting from the letter, and then quickly melted into the talisman.

The writing on the letter paper gradually disappeared, and the originally yellow talisman paper slowly turned purple.

In the blink of an eye, the talisman suddenly burst into flames.

Eunuch Zhang looked at the flames dancing on the talisman with a sinister smile on his face.
