"The shirtless general in front is Cao Zixiao!"
Cao Zixiao?
Guan Yinping held the silver gun and was about to jump off the boat.
"Don't worry."
Liu Chan pulled Guan Yinping back, with an intriguing look on his face.
"The credit is right in front of you, don't be in a hurry, but someone is going to fight for it."
Looking at Guan Yinping who was restless and trying to break away from his hand, Liu Chan laughed loudly and said: "There are probably thousands of Wei troops on this mountain. We only have how many people on the boat. We will wait until the others arrive."
"But when people arrive, won't the credit be lost?"
Guan Yinping had a look of reluctance on his face.
"No matter, even if there are 10,000 people, I will charge Guan Yinping."
Guan Yinping puffed up her chest, raised her head high, revealing her long, white neck, and her stubborn expression was clearly revealed.
Liu Chan rolled his eyes and sighed secretly: You girl, you are really not afraid of death.
"You and I have already made a contribution by discovering that Cao Zixiao is here. In this way, I will see if we can subdue the enemy without fighting, without spending a single soldier, and just with words, we will send Cao Ren prisoner to you. "
Can Cao Zixiao be captured alive just by talking?
If it were anyone else, Guan Yinping would definitely sneer at it, but he is His Highness!
I love the good husband of the screen. Is there anything he can't do?
Guan Yinping had a look of curiosity on his face.
Liu Chan looked confident and summoned his bodyguards.
There are only three hundred personal guards of the prince on the boat. If he rushes to attack, he will suffer heavy losses. Now the Wei army is fighting a trapped beast, why waste the lives of his elite soldiers?
Liu Chan still knows the truth that a sad army will win.
and
Liu Chan and Guan Yinping were able to discover that Cao Ren was here, which was already a great achievement. As for capturing Cao Ren alive, this was indeed a great achievement.
But does Liu Chan lack this credit?
No shortage!
Even if Cao Ren is captured alive, he cannot directly change from the crown prince of Hanzhong to the king of Hanzhong.
That would have to be done by Lao Liu Ga.
Credit is of no use to a superior like Liu Chan.
"Shout: Whoever can send Cao Ren over as a prisoner will be rewarded by Liu Chan, the crown prince of Hanzhong, with a thousand gold coins, and he will be made his general."
Liu Chan turned his head, looked at his own soldiers, and ordered.
The prince's army was very familiar with this kind of rhetoric to sow discord. They all raised their voices and shouted loudly:
"Whoever can send Cao Ren over as a prisoner will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins by Liu Chan, the crown prince of Hanzhong, and he will be made his general."
"Whoever can send Cao Ren over as a prisoner will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins by Liu Chan, the crown prince of Hanzhong, and will be made his general."
The voices of hundreds of people were very loud, even deafening.
The entire Hekouchuan battlefield could be heard clearly.
When Guan Ping, Liao Hua, Hao Pu, Xiang Chong and others heard about this, they all sailed their warships to Liu Chan's side.
Damn Cao Zixiao is here, this big fish must be caught before talking about it.
Even Guan Yu also asked the warship to move closer to Liu Chan.
On the Hekouchuan Mountain, Cao Ren heard the roar from the Shu army's warships, his heart tightened, and he turned to look at the general behind him for no reason.
"Don't be deceived by that kid Liu Chan. How can you reward the defeated general? This is a stratagem to alienate!"
Dong Heng stepped forward, his eyes were firm and his words were sonorous and powerful.
"I was appointed as a general just for the sake of loyalty and righteousness. How can I be deceived by a mere reward? Brother Chao, do you think so?"
Dong Heng looked at Dong Chao beside him.
"Brother, that's right."
Dong Chao looked hesitant, but he was not as sincere as Dong Heng, which reassured Cao Ren.
It seems that these people have all listened to Liu Chan's nonsense.
Cao Ren felt sad in his heart. If he had not been in such a desperate situation in normal times, there would not have been such a scene that tested people's hearts.
And he knew in his heart that this human heart was also the most untestable.
People's minds change, and people's hearts are fickle. This can be seen from Dong Chao.
Cao Ren looked at Dong Chao defensively and leaned slightly towards Dong Heng.
fine
There are also many loyal people around him, and the leading military captain Dong Heng is one of them.
"ah!"
Cao Ren was still thinking in his mind when he suddenly felt a heavy object being hit on the back of his neck. He turned around with some difficulty and found that the person who hit him on the back of his neck was the loyal man he had just thought of.
"Dong Heng, you?"
Cao Ren had a look of disbelief on his face.
Is it true that I am a general because of the two words of loyalty?
"Is this your loyalty?"
Cao Ren looked at Dong Heng angrily, and immediately waved the ring-shou knife in his hand to greet Dong Heng.
"ah!"
Cao Ren screamed in pain again and felt another pain in the back of his neck. This time, before he could turn around, there was darkness before his eyes, and he fainted.
"How dare you?"
The skillful cooperation of Dong Heng, Dong and the two brothers knocked Cao Ren out in just a few breaths. When Cao Ren was restrained by Dong Heng, Cao Ren's soldiers immediately exploded.
"You dare to knock out the general, are you going to rebel?"
"rebel?"
Dong Heng scolded, and his soldiers immediately blocked Cao Ren's generals in front.
"Now that we are in a desperate situation, do you really want to follow the general to die?"
"So what if you die? It would be an honor for us to die for the general!"
Obsessive.
Dong Heng sneered and said: "I'm knocking out the general now, not to harm him, but to save him. If it weren't for me, the general would have died in Hekou River today, but if I had knocked him out, he would have become Hanzhong." The crown prince Liu Chan was captured, and the King of Wei will exchange him for him in the future so that he can make a comeback. Think about it, what I did was not to save the general? Could it be that I was harming the general?"
Dong Heng's words left Cao Ren's personal guards speechless.
Although he is using strong words to make sense, judging from the current situation, it seems to make sense.
Dong Heng watched as the hatred and anger in the eyes of General Cao Ren's personal guards gradually receded, and a smile finally appeared on his face.
"That's it. If you don't give way, are you trying to kill the general?"
Hearing this, no matter whether they were willing or not, no one among Cao Ren's personal guards dared to bear the crime of murdering the general Cao Ren. They all stepped aside to make way for Dong Heng.
Developed!
Dong Heng held the unconscious Cao Ren as if holding a big gold brick.
You, Cao Zixiao, are now my wealth!
but
What Dong Heng said doesn't make sense?
Cao Ren is alive today, thanks to Dong Heng. As for Dong Heng using Cao Ren to exchange for wealth and honor in front of Liu Chan, the crown prince of Hanzhong, it was just a reward from Cao Ren to thank him for saving his life!
Dong Heng, surrounded by Dong Chao and a group of personal guards, slowly came towards Liu Chan's boat.
On the warship, Guan Yinping's face showed a look of shock. The mouth was so big that an egg could be stuffed in it.
"You're really right, Mr. Lang!"
Guan Yinping turned to look at Liu Chan, with stars starting to appear in his eyes.
My husband is so awesome!
In addition to admiring Liu Chan now, she still admires him!
Liu Chan also had a smile on his face.
"I didn't expect this human heart to be so unable to withstand the test."
In a desperate situation, if your will is not firm enough, you will be swayed by words.
The situation on the mountain just now was only five hundred steps away from Liu Chan. Naturally, he could clearly see their conversation and movements.
Unexpectedly, Cao Ren, who had been a hero for half his life, was finally captured in such an embarrassing and disgraceful manner.
If he was captured by his subordinates for betraying him, wouldn't it mean that he, Cao Ren, was incapable of leading an army?
Soon, Dong Heng, who was supporting Cao Ren, arrived in front of Liu Chan's warship.
"General Dong Heng, please pay homage to His Highness."
This Wei general changed his title quite quickly.
He who knows the current affairs is a hero.
This person is quite interesting.
Liu Chan nodded slightly and said, "Come up."
Dong Heng was nervous, recalling the deeds of Liu Chan, the crown prince of Hanzhong, and knew that although this man was young, he was a good man. If he could not be persuaded, he might not be rich in the Shu army in the future.
No.
If one of them is not serious, even his life will be lost!
Soon.
Dong Heng and Dong Chao took Cao Ren onto the warship.
Liu Chan waved his hand, and the prince's own troops came forward and tied up the unconscious Cao Ren.
Dong Heng and Dong Chao stood on the same spot.
"Dong Heng, the guilty general, pays homage to His Highness."
"Dong Chao, the guilty general, pays homage to His Highness."
The two of them were very conscious and knelt down directly in front of Liu Chan with a humble attitude and raised their buttocks very high.
"No need to be polite."
Liu Chan smiled softly, helped the two of them up, and then said: "You were able to see the situation clearly at the critical moment, and now you have brought Cao Ren to me. It can be considered a meritorious service. I, Liu Chan, will naturally reward those who have meritorious service." It’s not stingy.”
Dong Heng felt uneasy.
If Liu Chan, the King of Hanzhong, really valued him, he would have personally stepped forward and pulled him up.
But he did not do this, which proved that Dong Heng's status was not that important in front of Liu Chan, the crown prince of Hanzhong.
just in case
If Liu Chan broke his promise, wouldn't it mean that he, Dong Heng, would be unable to find a place to cry?
Liu Chan was very keen and could see what Dong Heng meant from his frowning expression.
"Don't worry, what I just said will not leave you behind."
Liu Chan would naturally give preferential treatment to those who surrendered.
Give a lot of benefits and set an example for those who may surrender later!
look!
Surrender to me, Mr. Liu, there will be great benefits.
Why fight to the death?
Wouldn't it be good to surrender and enjoy the glory and wealth?
"From now on, Dong Heng, you will become my general, and you will be rewarded with thousands of gold coins. I will send them to you as soon as the war is over. As for whether you can be used in a more important way in the future, it depends on your performance."
Seeing that Liu Chan really meant what he said, Dong Heng was overjoyed and at the same time, he also respected Liu Chan a little more.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, what we are doing as generals is glory and wealth. If Your Highness can give the last general glory and wealth, then the last general will naturally swear allegiance to Your Highness to the death, even if it means going up mountains of swords and seas of fire, so what?"
If you give him enough money, you can let him kill Cao Ren, but what can he do?
A general is loyal?
How much is loyalty worth?
"very good."
Liu Chan looked at Dong Heng and Dong Chao with some admiration.
If he is not pretentious, not hypocritical, and is willing to be honest with Liu Chan, then Liu Chan will naturally reuse him.
As for his character
If Liu Chan is in a desperate situation, he will naturally not trust this person, but if he always fights smoothly, this person will be his right-hand man.
Not everyone in this world is a loyal person.
There are still too few people like Er Ye, otherwise, future generations would not value loyalty so much.
Only what is lacking will be admired.
Liu Chan doesn't need everyone to be loyal, he just needs someone to serve him!
Sharing benefits and forming a community of interests is simpler and stronger than so-called loyalty.
After all, how many people in the world have the quality of loyalty?
"The Wei army on this mountain will be captured by you. It depends on how many you can capture, and how many soldiers and horses you have."
Accepting a surrender is actually a technical job. Since Dong Heng wants to make a contribution so much, it is necessary to give him this opportunity.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Dong Heng was overjoyed when he heard this.
This means that he is Liu Chan's general, not a mere commander, but someone with military power.
He didn't waste any time, and immediately bowed and resigned, taking Dong Chao down to recruit the Wei army to surrender.
Liu Chan stood on the boat and looked at the tragic situation of the Hekou Sichuan Army Stronghold, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.
The flood was rolling, but after all, it was just the river water that had accumulated for more than a day.
After the most violent round passed, the water that was originally about ten feet high gradually became a few steps high, and then slowly dropped, even to the point where people could walk down.
The flood has passed, but the damage caused by this small man-made flood is shocking.
The land in the military camp was washed away by floods and became muddy, filled with a moist and turbid atmosphere.
The tents, arrow towers, and wooden walls tilted and collapsed. The walls were badly damaged, and broken walls were scattered on the ground. The once busy military camp was now in ruins, as if it had been ravaged by a war.
Even the ravages of war were not so complete.
Debris, duckweed and silt brought by the flood accumulated on the ground, forming a thick layer of mud. The walk was difficult, with every step sinking into the mud and bringing heavy resistance. The roads that used to be smooth are no longer smooth and are filled with potholes, mud and puddles.
Occasionally broken weapons and armor can be seen in the scattered ruins, covered with mud and water stains.
The remaining tents were crumbling, and the coarse cloth was dripping with water, losing its former color. When the wind blows, the coarse cloth makes a sound, which only adds to the sadness.
The damage caused by floods also affects the surrounding natural environment. The originally lush trees were washed down by the floods, and withered leaves were scattered on the ground. The winding creek was washed away by the raging floods into a piece of turbid water. The water flow was fast and no longer clear.
"Alas~"
Guan Yinping sighed softly.
She looked at the mess on the ground and the drowned corpses of Wei soldiers everywhere, with a look of unbearability on her face.
"What a pity these people are."
Of course, it was not only the soldiers of the Wei army who drowned, but also the civilian men and local brave men who followed the army.
This battle
It is feared that 40,000 to 50,000 people drowned, not counting the casualties of the people who were flooded.
Blocking weir mouths to store water and bursting embankments to create man-made floods will naturally harm the peace of the world.
However, in this era, there are not just one or two things that have been done that harm Tianhe.
For example, Boss Cao, how many times did he massacre the city?
Sun Zhongmou fought against Shanyue, and how many Shanyue barbarians were killed?
In troubled times, there is only ruthlessness!
After all, this is an era where people eat people.
"What a pity, what a pity!"
Although Guan Yu felt sad about the scene in front of him, what he was sad about was not the casualties of these soldiers and local heroes.
After the flood, the food and grass supplies in the Wei camp were also washed away. Hundreds of thousands of stones of food and grass were lost in the flood. Isn't this a waste?
If these grains and grass can be used by the Shu army, then Guan Yunchang can bring another 50,000 troops over!
What a sin!
What a waste!
After the flood, although the Shu army won, the gains from the victory were naturally not as much as if they had won directly on the battlefield.
If the Wei army had been defeated on the frontal battlefield, the losses of the Wei army would never have been so much.
With so many surrendered soldiers, if they can be recruited and reorganized, they will be a new force.
At the worst, they can be used as cannon fodder to consume the opponent's arrows and defensive equipment when attacking a city.
certainly
There are good things and bad things. In this water attack, the Shu army suffered almost no losses except for a few unlucky ones who fell into the water and died.
If he wins this battle, he can win not only Fancheng but also Nanyang County!
The camp was muddy and everyone set up camp on the mountain. The main tent of the Chinese army was erected first.
Guan Yu had already taken off his heavy armor and now revealed an arm. The muscles on that arm really opened Liu Chan's eyes.
"Everyone, you all have made great contributions to this great defeat of the Wei army and the capture of Cao Zixiao alive! I will report my merits to you today!"
When you win a battle, you naturally ask for rewards.
As soon as Guan Yu said this, all the generals in the tent were excited.
"Your Majesty, the success of this battle lies in the water attack strategy. How could we try our best? We didn't even catch a few heads."
Hao Pu, the prefect of Lingling, spread his hands. Although his merits are very good, he is an upright man. If it is not his own merit, then he absolutely does not deserve it.
Guan Ping also nodded.
"It was my father's clever idea that led to this great victory!"
Liao Hua is also very discerning.
"Besides, if you want to list your merits, His Highness must have the greatest contribution. How can you capture Cao Zixiao alive?"
"good."
After this battle, all the generals were convinced of Liu Chan.
Whether it was a water attack, or whether he captured Cao Ren alive without spending a single soldier, just opening his mouth, it is quite legendary.
"Hahaha~"
Guan Yu stroked his beautiful beard and looked at Liu Chan with Danfeng eyes. The look of approval in his eyes was not concealed at all.
"Your Highness should take the lead this time!"
Whether it was the water attack strategy or the capture of Cao Zixiao alive, it was all the credit of His Highness!
"I don't deserve this first achievement."
Seeing the warm atmosphere in the tent, Liu Chan also stood up. He must have something to say.
Every opportunity to win over the generals must be firmly grasped.
The true nature of a principal cannot be lost!
"Without the united will of all of you, how could we have achieved today's great victory? As for capturing Cao Zixiao alive, I'm just talking about it. Your boats have arrived and the army is heavily encircled. Even if Dong Heng doesn't sacrifice Cao Ren, we can still capture him alive. Cao Zixiao, it’s just a matter of extra effort.”
"Don't blame me for taking away your credit, that's it."
Liu Chan had a joking look on his face.
"Your Highness is so humble. Are we the kind of people who don't know what is good or bad?"
After hearing Liu Chan's words, Lingling Prefect Hao Pu's sense of Liu Chan became even better.
Your Highness is truly a wise master!
He is also talented and humble towards others. In just a few words, he convinced all the generals in the tent. If this is not a wise master, what is it?
"Your Highness is too modest. The main contribution in this battle belongs to none other than Your Highness!"
"That's right. If His Highness hadn't been the first to take the lead, I'd be in a hurry with him!"
Liu Chan just said something, but it made the hearts of the generals in the tent move closer to him unconsciously.
Seeing that his son-in-law had such talent, Guan Yu saw it in his eyes and felt happy in his heart.
The eldest brother's son is so capable, which makes him, the second uncle and father-in-law, feel relieved.
"Your Highness."
After seeing Liu Chan and all the generals in the palace talking about their love. A smile appeared on Guan Yuzao's face, and he asked with a smile: "Now that the Hekou River has descended, the Wei army has suffered heavy losses. What should we do next?"
What should be done?
Liu Chan frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Soldiers need to be quick and defeat Wancheng!"
Wancheng is a huge city with a very important geographical location.
Only by occupying Wancheng can we say that we have occupied the entire Nanyang.
With this completed, we can attack Chang'an, Luoyang, Chenliu, eastward to Xuchang, southward to Xinye Xiangfan, westward to Shangyong, and attempt to capture Hanzhong.
Wancheng, Boss Cao will no longer be able to eat in Xudu.
"It's just that we haven't received a reply from Wancheng's guard Hou Yin. If we make a long-distance attack on Wancheng this time, if we fail, we may be in danger of falling into enemy territory."
Especially now that half of Nanyang County has been flooded. The land is muddy and the roads are difficult to walk. Even if there is food and grass, it is difficult to transport it to Wancheng.
Once they are unable to quickly descend to Wancheng, it will be difficult for the army that has penetrated into Nanyang County to withdraw.
Going to Wancheng now is definitely a risk.
Especially when there is no reply from the internal department.
Guan Yu is now in a tangle.
but
I'm confused, Your Highness must have a solution!
Guan Yu looked at Liu Chan expectantly, and the generals in the tent also looked at Liu Chan, waiting for Liu Chan to make up his mind.
Being stared at by dozens of pairs of eyes from the generals in the tent, even Liu Chan felt the pressure.
"There are indeed risks in this battle, but the risks are equal to the rewards. The only way we can use water to attack now is to take advantage of the right time and place. Now we want to attack Wancheng and then control Nanyang County. The time is not waiting for us. After that At this time, Cao Cao will send his army back to Wancheng, and it will not be an easy task to capture Wancheng by then."
Danger?
That's definitely dangerous.
But at the same time, Cao Cao certainly did not expect that Cao Ren would lose to Guan Yunchang within a few days with seven armies and tens of thousands of elite soldiers?
Who would believe this?
Even tens of thousands of pigs would take several days to catch, let alone tens of thousands of elite soldiers?
Therefore, Wancheng's defense is at its most lax now. With the strength of the Jingzhou soldiers in Chang Yun's hands, if it is to be captured, now is the best opportunity!
"You're right!"
Guan Yu's eyes flickered.
If you are not willing to take any risks when marching and fighting, then why are you a soldier or a general?
"Who wants to go to Wancheng with me?"
Wancheng is captured and Nanyang County is in our hands in Jingzhou. By then, after reorganizing the troops and horses, the front can be directed towards Xudu!
Cao Mengde, Hua Rong said goodbye. This time, I, Guan Yunchang, will not spare your life!
"If Wancheng is captured, why do we need my father to go there? I can take Wancheng with my troops and horses!"
Hao Pu, the prefect of Lingling, also stood up and said: "What the young general said is true. The general is a man of ten thousand gold. He should not go deep into dangerous places. If he is defeated, our army's good situation will be burned to the ground. I hope you will think twice!"
"Yes, I hope you will think twice!"
The generals under Guan Yu's tent will give advice to Guan Yu at that time, and their feelings are self-evident.
"you!"
Guan Yu was furious and quickly looked at Liu Chan. There was a hint of pleading in Danfeng's eyes.
"Your Highness, look"
"Ahem."
Liu Chan coughed, but was not bought off by the second master's eyes.
"My uncle is the commander-in-chief of the first army. He must not go deep into the enemy's territory. In the future, he will fight against Mengde. Is he afraid that he will not have a chance to show off his skills? Don't be in a hurry."
Guan Yinping also nodded.
This old father of hers is simply more reckless than she is!
She just went to hunt some tigers and bears, but her good husband said she was too aggressive. Her father was obviously very old, but he still thought about the glory of his youth!
To take the general's head out of thousands of troops?
He didn't even look at the Qiang general Pang De who had gone through a lot of effort in the previous battle, but he still thought about it.
People!
You have to serve your old age!
"That's fine!"
Everyone in the tent said so, and Guan Yunchang could not disobey him.
Besides, during the fierce battle with General Pang De, he did act recklessly, which made Guan Ping feel confident talking to him these days.
Tolerate!
I, Guan, will bear with it for the time being!
"Na Ping'er, you and Zi Tai will lead your troops to Wancheng, communicate with Wancheng's guard Hou Yin, and win Wancheng because of peace inside and outside!"
Guan Yu slowed down and added another sentence.
"Once Wancheng is captured, we can send a messenger over, and our army will rush to help in an instant."
"promise!"
Guan Ping and Hao Pu quickly knelt on the ground and took over the task with excitement on their faces.
The two looked at each other, and there seemed to be lightning and thunder in their eyes.
The credit that was not gained from the Hekou River must be made up for in Wancheng!
Liu Chan saw the fighting intention of these two people, but Wancheng was a huge city after all, and it had just been attacked by water, and it had to be a long-distance attack. The soldiers may not be physically able to keep up. He looked at Guan Ping and Hao Pu and said, "I Ask Dong Heng to follow you and serve as the deputy general of General Xiaoguan. He is familiar with geography and knows the layout of the Wei army. If you have any questions, just ask him. However, there are some things you must remember. Don't be greedy for credit and rush forward.
If Wancheng can be captured, that would be the best. If it cannot be captured, don't force it and retreat. There will always be a time to capture it in the future. "
You have to eat the food one bite at a time. If you eat it in one bite, you will not become fat. If you eat too quickly, you will choke to death.
"promise!"
Guan Ping and Hao Pu both followed the order and left.
Guan Yinping was also eager to give it a try and wanted to go to Wancheng to compete for credit, but when Liu Chan glared at him, he immediately became more honest.
"Uncle, let's clear the obstacles, open up the grain road, and build the Hekou Sichuan Army Stronghold again!"
After clearing away the mud and opening up a grain road, even if it is difficult for Guan Ping and Hao Pu to get to Wancheng in this battle, the grain road will be smooth, so it is not impossible to capture Wancheng.
Moreover
Guan Ping and Hao Pu also need an easy way to retreat.
Rebuilding the Hekouchuan Army Stronghold can keep the Wei army out of the Hekouchuan Army Stronghold.
If the Wei army cannot capture the Hekou Sichuan army stronghold, then...
Yu Jin in Fancheng has truly become a turtle in an urn.
"This matter will be left to you, Zi Qian."
Zhao Lei is the food and grain officer in the army, so it is natural that he is now in charge of the logistics.
"No! I take the order!"
He did not delay, and immediately left the account to prepare for the corresponding affairs.
"Your Highness, can Fancheng be beaten now?"
The reinforcements of the Wei army were destroyed, Wancheng was probably captured, and the Hekouchuan military stronghold was reestablished. Yu Jin in Fancheng could no longer afford to cause any trouble.
Liu Chan thought for a while and said: "It depends on whether Wancheng can be defeated. If it is defeated, Fancheng will continue to besiege the city. If it doesn't work for one month, two months, if it doesn't work for two months, it will three months. If it doesn't work for three months, it will last for one year or two." There is no need to let the soldiers waste their lives."
If Wancheng can be captured, Fancheng will really become an isolated island.
The Wei army had no way to rescue Fancheng.
All we need to do is to besiege Fancheng and wait until all the food and supplies are exhausted, then we can conquer Fancheng without a fight.
"If Wancheng is not captured, then it is best to capture Fancheng within three months!"
If Wancheng is not captured, Cao Cao can recuperate for a while and then gather a large army again.
Fancheng must be completely swallowed before Wei can gather its troops. In this way, Xiangfan will have no worries, and the Jingzhou soldiers can put all their forces on the front line and fight the Wei army in Wancheng.
Guan Yu nodded slightly.
He looked towards the direction of Wancheng. At this moment, Guan Ping and Hao Pu led their troops. Dong Heng led a thousand surrender troops. In addition to the 5,000 additional troops sent by Guan Yu, there were more than 13,000 people in total. At this moment, they were walking in the mud. The road is heading towards Wancheng.
Wancheng.
In the general's mansion.
Guards Hou Yin and Wei Kai summoned all their close associates in the lobby.
Hou Yin's face is resolute and majestic, with clear lines. His eyebrows are long and thick, slightly raised, giving people a sense of confidence and perseverance. The bridge of his nose was straight and his jaw was clear-cut. At this moment, his eyes were shining brightly as he looked down at the hall, looking very excited.
"There is news from Jingzhou. Yun Chang first defeated the vanguard army and captured the vanguard general Pang De alive. Now he is preparing a water attack to flood the seven armies. The Wei army camp is stationed in the low-lying Hekou River. If water is really used, Attack, Cao Zixiao will not be able to stop it!"
He looked at Wei Kai, who was also the guard of Wancheng next to him, and said, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Don't miss it!"
Wei Kai has broad shoulders and a broad chest. He is now wearing armor and has thick calluses on his hands. At first glance, he looks like a fierce general who is used to killing on the battlefield.
"It's just... what if the content in this letter is untrue? In Wancheng, has the news of the defeat of the Wei army's vanguard and the capture of the vanguard general Pang De not yet been received?"
Wei Kai is more cautious than Hou Yin.
"Why doubt it?"
Hou Yin laughed and said: "Within ten days, the news will reach Wancheng, but by the time the news reaches Wancheng, I'm afraid Dongligun and the others will be on guard."
Wancheng is such an important place, and most of the county guards, meritorious officers, and captains are not from Nanyang.
Although some of them are from Nanyang, all of them eat the inside and outside of the food, looking for Cao Mengde rather than the people of Nanyang.
He, Hou Yin, was a powerful man in Nanyang and had strong soldiers. Cao Mengde did not dare to do anything to him. Only then could he be the guard of Wancheng.
"this"
There was still hesitation in Wei Kai's eyes.
"Mother-in-law, why are you acting like a woman?"
Hou Yin snorted coldly and said: "In the past month, how many civilians and village warriors have been recruited by King Wei from Nanyang County? How many county soldiers have been transferred away?"
Originally he had three thousand soldiers, but he was forced to take away two thousand. Now there are only one thousand left. Wei Kai is not much better than him.
Fortunately, he is a powerful local man, and there are many people in the manor near Wancheng. If he can force together some people, it will not be a problem to restore the original three thousand troops.
certainly
In terms of combat effectiveness, it is far inferior to three thousand county soldiers.
However, now in Wancheng, the garrison is estimated to be only five thousand, he has one thousand, the guard has one thousand, and the remaining three thousand are in the hands of the prefect Dongligun.
But if he and Wei Kai gathered troops to start a rebellion, there would be five or six thousand people under the roar, which was much more than the three thousand people in the hands of the governor Dongli Gun.
Moreover
The enemy is bright and we are dark.
As long as the governor Dongligun is controlled first, won't Wancheng be under his control?
Wei Kaixin was naturally hesitant, but after hearing Hou Yin's words, he felt that if he hesitated any longer, he would miss the opportunity.
Apart from anything else, Nanyang County was so exploited by the King of Wei that even if Yunchang was still in a stalemate with Cao Ren at the front, they would still make trouble from behind.
No chance!
Then create opportunities for Yunchang!
"General Hou, you draw up a charter and tell me what you want me to do!"
Now that he had made up his mind, Wei Kai was ready to risk his life.
If he can capture Wancheng for Yunchang, his guards will be able to march sideways in Jingzhou in the future.
It’s better than being a grandson in Wei!
"Okay! That's what a good man should do!"
Hou Yin looked at Wei Kai with admiration, then shot away with his eyes on the general in front of him.
"You all listen carefully. Tonight, secretly open the city gate and let the brothers outside the city in. Brother Wei Kai will be responsible for this matter."
Open the door and let people go?
Wei Kai nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry, there are more than a hundred elites in the city, so it shouldn't be a problem to open the city gate."
Hou Yin nodded and continued: "I can gather five hundred people in the city. Tonight, listen to the movement of the county governor's mansion. If there is any movement, open the city gate. Support will come and take control of Wancheng."
If the county governor's mansion were to be attacked by force, five hundred people might not be enough.
But he, Hou Yin, was hiding, so why did he want to attack?
Enter the house secretly, and don’t let anyone shoot you.
"Understood."
The division of labor was clear and everyone dispersed.
That night.
The night is dark and windy.
It was the night of the killing.
Hou Yin wore inner armor, with a ring-headed sword tied around his waist, and a brocade robe on the outside to hide the inner armor.
Behind him were forty military guards.
They are all the most brave and skilled people in the army. Now, as the first to ascend, they want to break down the gate of Nanyang County Governor's Mansion.
In the dark, where the lights could not shine, the remaining four hundred people were lying in ambush on both sides of the governor's mansion, waiting for Hou Yin's order.
arrive.
In front of you is the Sheriff's Mansion.
The Sheriff's Mansion is quite tall. There are nine steps in front of the door. Two stone lions stand on both sides, which is quite majestic.
There is a plaque on the door with the words "Nanyang County Sheriff's Mansion" written in five characters.
"Stop idlers!"
Seeing Hou Yin rushing in furiously, the guards outside the Sheriff's Mansion quickly stepped forward to stop him.
"Idle person? Did you see clearly that I, Hou Yin, am an idle person?"
The guard leader of the Sheriff's Mansion was stunned for a moment. His original arrogance disappeared without a trace. He bent down slightly, with a look of flattery on his face.
"It turns out to be General Hou. The villain has eyesight but cannot recognize Mount Tai. Damn it, damn it."
Hou Yin narrowed his eyes.
You really deserve to die.
Hou Yin's hand touched the Huanshou knife, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a dangerous light flashed out.
"I have something to ask the Master, please let me in."
Looking for Fu Zun?
But it was late at night.
The guard leader of the county governor's mansion showed an embarrassed look on his face, and he said: "The master of the mansion has already gone to bed, otherwise, why don't I go in and report something?"
General knowledge?
Hou Yin nodded slightly.
"Then go quickly, my time is limited."
"Yes, yes, I understand."
The officer in charge of the guards at the Sheriff's Mansion turned around. He rolled his eyes and curled his lips and thought: Why is he bothering his mother-in-law so much in the middle of the night if he is not holding her in his arms?
Bang bang bang.
The guards of the Sheriff's Mansion knocked on the door.
"Uncle, open the door."
As soon as the concierge of the County Sheriff's Mansion heard the voice coming from the guards of the County Sheriff's Mansion, he opened the heavy wooden door of the County Sheriff's Mansion with a creak.
"Are you still bothering me in the middle of the night? You are such a melon."
The concierge opened the door, and suddenly his eyes widened.
"Run!"
The concierge dragged the guard in.
"What are you doing!"
The guard yelled angrily in his heart: Relying on your old age and selling your old age, right? Do you really think I'm easy to bully?
But before he could finish the thoughts in his mind, the concierge's head fell directly from his neck as soon as the blade passed by.
Those round eyes were staring at the guard leader, and the innermost part seemed to be muttering: "Run!"
The guards were shocked to death.
But seeing the bloody Huanshou knife on Hou Yin's hand, he rolled and crawled, crying and shouting and ran into the governor's house.
"Killing, killing!"
"hateful!"
His sword was originally intended to be directed by the guard, but in the end it was blocked by the concierge.
Hou Yin originally didn't want to kill this old man, but he decided to send him to his doorstep.
"Fight quickly, follow me into the governor's mansion, and capture the governor Dongligun!"
In order to stimulate the enthusiasm of his men to kill, Hou Yin added another sentence at the end.
"If you can capture Dongligun, you can enjoy the wealth and beauty of the county governor's mansion!"
"promise!"
"Come on!"
"Kill!"
Sure enough, money and silk have moved people's hearts since ancient times. The first sentence said that the people under his hands had no reaction, but the second sentence was added, and it was like a chicken blood injection.
Hou Yin held the handle of the knife tightly and followed the crazy soldiers into the governor's mansion.
Along the way, they killed men on sight and robbed women when they saw them. They were really worse than bandits.
In the inner courtyard of the county governor's mansion.
Dongligun hugged his concubine and fell asleep. He felt that there was a lot of movement outside the courtyard, which woke him up.
"What's going on? Are you here to disturb people's rest late at night?"
Being quarreled in the middle of the night makes everyone feel angry.
But before Dongligun could put on his clothes, the door of the room was kicked open. Hou Yin's head was covered with blood. When he saw Dongligun, a cruel smile appeared on his face.
"Dongligun, long time no see, I miss you so much!"
Hou Yin?
Listening to the voice, Dongli Gun saw clearly that the person in front of him was Hou Yin.
"What are you going to do? Do you want to rebel? The general's tens of thousands of troops are in the Hekou River right now. If you dare to mess around, he will be here in an instant. You have to think clearly."
"Tied!"
Hou Yin waved his hand, and the guards behind him had already put the prepared rope on Dongligun's body, with three rings inside and three outside, and tied him into a rice dumpling.
"Dongligun, you still don't know that the seven-pronged army led by the general has become the food of fish and turtles in the Han River. Come to rescue? Humph!"
Hou Yin snorted coldly and kicked Dongli Gun.
"Think about your wealth and life. You usually dominate me and bring trouble to the people of Nanyang. Today I will show you how powerful I am, Hou Yin!"
The blood-stained ring-shou knife approached him, Dongli Gun secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and the hair on his hair stood on end.
"Hahaha!"
Seeing fear in Dongligun's eyes, Hou Yin felt very happy.
"You, Dongligun, are you sometimes afraid?"
Hou Yin looked at Dongligun's beautiful concubine on the bed, and her lovely appearance moved his heart.
"Hey hey hey."
A bad taste arose in his heart.
"Young ladies, I will give this beauty to you to enjoy. I will give you half a quarter of an hour."
Half an hour?
When Hou Yin's personal guards heard this, their eyes turned red.
How could such a gorgeous beauty be able to kiss each other at ordinary times?
now!
It's time to enjoy the beauty!
A group of wolf-like and tiger-like soldiers rushed forward, and you can imagine what happened next.
Dongligun gritted his teeth as he watched his beautiful concubine being violated by a group of Qiu Ba, and the nails on his hands dug into his flesh, but he could only be helpless and furious.
Dongligun's roar, Hou Yin's hearty laughter, the guards' joyful and crazy sounds, and the concubine's despairing sounds made up the absurd scene in the interior of the governor's mansion.
And on the other side.
The east gate of Wancheng.
Wei Kai held a spear, and behind him were more than a hundred personal guards, all wearing armor and hiding in the night.
The silent night enveloped the city, only starlight and faint lights dotted it.
The tall and sturdy city gate stood in the darkness, and the thick city wall stretched along the surrounding area. The guardrail on the wall is dotted with bright torches, and the weak fire light reflects the guards of the guards, giving a solemn and majestic feeling.
The guards were wearing armor, straightened posture, holding weapons, and watched around.
Wei Kai wiped the long gun with a handkerchief and quietly waited for the movement in the direction of the main government of the city.
Ahhhh~
There was a sound of riots in the direction of the main government of the city. From the east gate, the fire was in the direction of the main house of the city, and it was like a torch and illuminated the entire Wancheng.
coming!
The east gate of Wancheng will quickly bring some soldiers and go to the county guarding the government. After the defenders of the East Gate of Wancheng leave, Wei Kai waves his long gun, his eyes narrowed, and murderous!
"Come and kill with me!"
He yelled and ran away directly towards the east gate. He was behind the guards. Seeing that the Lord's first soldiers were soldiers, one by one was not afraid of death, and he rushed forward.
In Wei Kai's view, most of the Dongmen defenders have been attracted to the county guards. Then he is now open to open the gate, and it is very easy to come.
only
He did not see that on the east gate of Wancheng, there were two pairs of eyes, staring at Wei Kai, who was rushing forward.
